Investors have followed David Einhorn's every move since he predicted Lehman

Chasing David Einhorn can be a dangerous investing game. Investors in a tiny

Ethanol producers, particularly BioFuel Energy (BIOF), have been struggling

面对有记录以来最干的4月积雪量，州长Jerry Brown周三早宣布了首次全州强制节水命
令。包括削减城市用水25%，禁止用水浪费，简化干旱响应程序和投资新节水科技。
Brown说，“历史性干旱需要空前性的措施。作为加州公民，我们必须齐心协力，千方

周三的积雪测量显示Philips站点未发现积雪，属75年来首次，打破了去年和1977年同

are not educated on rattle snakes, this generally only happens in the spring
when they come out of the den and the weather is warm enough for them to

they are not going far from the den and returning daily. |

Using information it has gathered over the past three years, the commission

The commission cited numerous examples of waste, including a $360 million U.

than previously predicted—the worst in nearly 1,000 years. Some time
between 2050 and 2100, extended drought conditions in both regions will
become more severe than the megadroughts of the 12th and 13th centuries.
Tree rings and other evidence indicate that those medieval dry periods
