Food Documentary Debate Misses Mainstream Farmers
Sat, 04 Jul 2009 08:00:00 -0400
Food Inc., a documentary film about the modern agricultural industry, is a hit with big-city movie reviewers, small organic farmers and vegetarians. The movie argues that large-scale agriculture produces inexpensive meat and vegetables, but imposes high costs on the environment and Americans' health. But ordinary farmers — the people who grow the lion's share of what America eats — have largely been left out of the mainstream media debate over Food Inc. Frank Morris, of member station KCUR in Kansas City, drove out to hear what farmers are saying.

Foreign oil firms in Iraq: Waiting game
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:54:22 -0000
The Western giants hold out for a better offerFOR some conspiracy theorists, the war in Iraq was always about gaining control of the world’s third-largest oil reserves for Western energy firms. True or not, things are not panning out that way. This week most big oil companies turned their backs on the first opening of Iraqi production to foreign investors since Saddam Hussein nationalised the industry 37 years ago. The oil ministry, which wants to lift crude output from 2.4m barrels a day (b/d) last year to 6m b/d by 2017, hoped a much-delayed licensing round for eight of the country’s biggest oil- and gasfields would bring international firms—with their capital and expertise—back to Iraq. But the televised auction proved embarrassing for Hussein al-Shahristani, Iraq’s oil minister. Just one contract was awarded, to a joint venture between BP and China’s CNPC, which beat a bid from Exxon Mobil and Petronas of Malaysia. That contract covers the Rumaila oilfield, Iraq’s second largest. BP and its partner must now increase its output from 1m b/d to 2.85m b/d within six years. Their reward will be $2 a barrel, half the amount BP originally sought. ...
The recession spurs self-service: Help yourself
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:54:22 -0000
Customers are working for companies free of charge, and they like itAMERICANS worried that cheap labour in faraway countries threatens jobs at home should redirect their gaze to the mirror. Yes, companies are outsourcing jobs—to their customers. They are steering ever greater numbers to ATMs instead of tellers, websites instead of telephone hotlines and automated checkouts instead of manned registers. The recession is making them even keener.Self-service is on the rise in industries from retailing and entertainment to travel and telecommunications. According to VDC Research Group, retailing, hospitality and health-care firms spent $2.8 billion on self-service technology in 2008. Between now and 2013 their investment will grow by around 15% a year. Speech-recognition technology, which permits automated responses to telephone calls, is also faring well. Datamonitor Group, a consultancy, expects spending on that to rise by around 8% in 2009. ...
Corporate bankruptcies in America: The boom in busts
Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:54:22 -0000
Bankruptcies are at near-record levelsIT IS not quite the Armageddon that was being predicted in the weeks after Lehman Brothers became America’s biggest corporate bankruptcy last September. But this recession is still on course to be second only to the Depression in terms of companies going bust. Measured by the firm’s assets at the time of filing for protection from their creditors, the past year has seen five of the eight biggest bankruptcy filings in the history of American business—with Washington Mutual, Thornburg Mortgage, General Motors (GM) and Chrysler joining Lehman on the list.A good indicator of the awfulness of the downturn is the market for junk bonds, which surely deserve the name again after nearly two decades of attempts to rebrand them as safer-sounding “high-yield debt”. At the end of May 9.2% of high-yield debt issues (globally, but dominated by American paper) had defaulted during the previous 12 months, compared with less than 1% in the year to December 2007. The failure rate is on course to hit 13.8% in the fourth quarter of this year, according to Moody’s, a credit-rating agency, after which it should start to decline. That would be slightly higher than in the two previous recessions, when the percentage of defaults peaked at 10.9% (in January 2002) and 12.8% (in June 1991), but below the all-time high of around 16.3% in 1933. ...
