Pollock front and center again, despite no one knowing why

November 20, 2009

Pollock quotas likely to drop again | www.publicbroadcasting.net

The latest prediction on the Total Allowable Catch totals for the USA pollock industry for 2010 appear to be solidly in favor of lowering them once again. This makes Greenpeace happy (not really) but is bad news for the industry as a whole. Jobs will be lost, companies may be headed for continued hard times. Yet most consumers of fish say, so what, I never eat pollock. How wrong they are.

November 19, 2009

Truck orders indicate pre-2010 surge | www.etrucker.com

In the midst of the optimism with the recent surge in truck orders, reality is setting back in that 2010 truck orders will be slow due to the mew emissions rules - again!

Integrated Fuel Technologies Non-Urea SCR Option Hits A Speed-Bump

November 16, 2009

Cover Story: Pipe Schemes | www.seattleweekly.com

One of the two non-urea Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) developers as noted in GLG articles has legal problems prompting potential major users to steer clear for now. The referenced article by Laura Onstot for the Seattle Weekly is an interesting read including alleged money, fraud, religion, mistresses and other sorted issues - but more about business issues than the technology.

Flavor of the Month is Railroads, But Freight Eventually Will Move Back to Truck

November 12, 2009

Trucking 101--This Analyst is Half Right | www.forexyard.com

How solid is the case for intermodal rail? Is it merely the flavor of the month, or can be be an honest-to-goodness, legitimate alternative to all-truck movements of surface freight? Analysts are touting intermodal rail, but how important and encompassing can rail transport be to U.S. shippers?

Is the Web Going to Save These Two Freight Behemoths?

For FedEx, Holidays May Bring an Upturn | online.wsj.com

FedEx Corp. is predicting an 8 percent rise in its "busiest day shipments" on Dec. 14, compared with last year's busiest day total. FedEx expects to ship more than 13 million packages on that day. Arch-rival UPS, which is about 35 percent larger than FedEx, says it will issue its own, separate "busiest day shipments" forecast next year, after eschewing such forecasts last year.

After 20-years, Intermodal as pioneered by JB Hunt and United Parcel Service is even more of a bright spot. I share our colleague Mr. Williams’ optimism regarding Intermodal - and that for JB Hunt’s continued success therein. There are idiosyncrasies in the numbers discussed that offers an opportunity for a different look.

Aquaculture Can Feed The World, Tilapia Is a Big Part Of The Answer

November 9, 2009

Can Aquaculture Feed the World | blueridgepress.com

We read more and more about aquaculture and how the industry is progressing, and reading about its issues of concern as well. We see that the carnivores of the industry may be more of a problem than a solution. We must work on a better feed to product ratio, but more importantly, we have part of the solution, tilapia culture.
