Life-saving route denied for King Cove (video)

Lucy Kenezuroff suffered from chest pains for nearly a day as a blizzard and howling gale-force winds raged across a barren Alaska Peninsula preventing a Coast Guard helicopter rescue team from landing near her King Cove home. Just days after the 80-year-old woman was saved, a five-month old baby with breathing problems was forced to wait hours for yet another Coast Guard rescue team from 300 miles away to make the dangerous journey.... http://www.humanevents.com/2013/02/20/life-saving-route-denied-for-alaskan-community/

Fishy fakes common in restaurants
Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY4:03a.m. EST February 21, 2013
About a third of all fish sold in restaurants and supermarkets may be falsely labeled, research shows
A fillet of rare red snapper could really be cheap tilapia. A pricey wild-caught salmon steak from Alaska could be farmed Atlantic salmon from Chile. Those are some of the substitutions found during a two-year investigation of seafood by the world's largest ocean conservation group. One-third of the fish purchased in restaurants, supermarkets and... http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/02/20/fish-seafood-fraud-common-oceana-report/1927065/
Mislabeled fish a national problem
Tests show a third of samples from 21 states to be fraudulent
By Jenn Abelson | GLOBE STAFF FEBRUARY 21, 2013
US consumers are frequently served a different type of fish than what they pay for, according to results released Thursday from one of the nation’s largest seafood fraud investigations. Between 2010 and 2012, the nonprofit Oceana collected more than 1,200 seafood samples from 674 retail outlets in 21 states and conducted DNA testing that found one-third of the samples were mislabeled. Fish advertised as grouper, cod, and snapper were often less desirable, cheaper, or more readily available species, according to Oceana, a Washington, D.C., group that focuses on fighting seafood fraud..... http://bostonglobe.com/business/2013/02/21/fish-mislabeling-common-throughout/kHVFNwzerS9Ws84SuvZC1H/story.html

Outlook "bright' for Columbia fall chinook
By Allen Thomas
Columbian Reporter, Outdoors
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Biologists are forecasting the best run of fall chinook salmon to the Columbia River in almost a decade with expectations for a record-high return of bright fish to central Washington. The forecast, released late last week, predicts a return of 677,900 fall chinook to the Columbia, the highest return since 2004 and significantly larger than the actual return of 512,300 a year ago. Particularly encouraging is the forecast for a record-high 432,500 “upriver brights,’’ mostly wild-spawning fish produced from the free-flowing Hanford Reach downstream of Priest Rapids Dam near the Tri-Cities. The highest actual return of upriver brights was 420,700 in 1987. Upriver brights fuel catches at.... http://www.columbian.com/news/2013/feb/20/outlook-bright-columbia-fall-chinook/

Tesla missed its EPS by 28%. Free cash flow for the year? Negative $500M. Accumulated losses? $1B. Analyst comment: "Congrats you guys!"

Hi, @darrenmurph. Re: your Tesla article kicker, capex directly affects free cash flow, but not net income. It's not part of net income.

After claiming its IPO would provide 24mos. of cash, Tesla proceeded to tap the markets for cash twice, for $370M, in just 27 months.
