AK salmon runs

by Jonah Dart-McLean - for the Cordova Times
"Where the rubber meets road" means getting down to the details, the nitty-gritty, something to exemplify the nuts and bolts work that is being done for an activity. This phrase is especially true when considering the Alaska Salmon Runs of the Copper River WILD! Salmon Festival here in Cordova. Pounding the pavement (and gravel), runners are intimately aware of their surroundings and their bodies connecting in a simple yet profound manner as the miles roll past. There is a joy to the action..... http://www.thecordovatimes.com/article/1327ak-salmon-runs

June 30, 2013
The FedEx cargo hub at Anchorage's international airport is cutting a transit flight from its global network, while investment in newer aircraft and upgrades at a cargo hub in Oakland, Calif., may point to a future with fewer planes flying to Alaska’s largest city. Anchorage has longed served as a strategic hub for freighter jets flying between Asia and North America. FedEx is the jewel of the cargo operations at the airport, where the company runs a sorting facility. The axed trans-Pacific FedEx flight does not shift any cargo when it lands in Anchorage; it's simply a “gas-and-go” operation, said FedEx spokesman Scott Fiedler. The plane’s...... http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20130630/fedex-cut-trans-pacific-flight-anchorage-cargo-hub

By BECKY BOHRER — Associated Press
JUNEAU, ALASKA — A project once held up as an example of government waste and derisively labeled a "bridge to nowhere" is getting another look by the state of Alaska.

The alternatives include two bridge and four...... http://www.adn.com/2013/06/30/2958837/state-studying-linking-alaska.html
Controversy continues for young energy company exploring Cook Inlet
Alex DeMarban
June 30, 2013
Shareholder unrest playing out in an open confrontation thousands of miles from Anchorage could impact a company that's playing an aggressive role in Cook Inlet's oil and gas renaissance. A pair of Chinese stockholders with Buccaneer Alaska hold enough shares to possibly bring change to the controversy-beset company whose stock prices have cratered. They hope their peers will vote to replace the leadership at a meeting set..... http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20130630/controversy-continues-young-energy-company-exploring-cook-inlet
Oil work to go on in Alaska's Arctic waters, without drilling
By Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 28 | Fri Jun 28, 2013 2:23pm EDT
(Reuters) - No one will drill in Arctic waters off Alaska this year, but there is still plenty of offshore work for the oil industry to do when conditions finally allow it next month. Royal Dutch Shell Plc, which canceled its 2013 Arctic offshore drill season after numerous troubles there last year, plans to send ships to study sites ..... http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/28/alaska-oil-offshore-idUSL2N0F419620130628
