J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. is putting federal regulators on notice that it may go after the very funds it used to buy Washington Mutual Inc.'s banking assets—and then some.

In a series of previously undisclosed letters sent to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the nation's second-largest bank by assets warned it could seek billions in legal protection from the FDIC receivership that liquidated the Seattle-based thrift two years ago, people familiar with the situation said.

"Fish Farms, With a Side of Greens"

Aquaponics is a fascinating subject I have been dabbling with for 2 years. The corporations are destroying the bee's, creating vegetables with built in pesticides (where do they go when you eat them?), creating terminator genes in seedstock, and seeking self regulation while creating more and more instances of food contamination.
