Soybean rust in 15 counties, found north of I-40
Scott Monfort was multitasking again.
The University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture extension plant pathologist was guiding his truck around the potholes in yet another axle-breaking dirt road while running mental calculations on soybean rust worst-case scenarios.
He wasn't the only one having a rough ride.
As of Sept. 4, the number of Arkansas counties with confirmed rust rose to 15, and for the first time this season, some of the counties were north of I-40. They are: Arkansas, Ashley, Chicot, Desha, Drew, Jefferson, Lee, Lincoln, Lonoke, Monroe, Phillips, Prairie, Pulaski, St. Francis, and Woodruff.
Rust can be devastating in any year, but if current cool, rainy conditions persist, the outcome could be bad with so many late-planted soybeans north of I-40.
According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Arkansas growers planted 3.4 million acres. Last year, the average state yield was 38 bushels per acre, which sold for $8.85 a bushel, for a value of about $1.09 billion, NASS said.
Should a worse case scenario appear for this year, "there might be a million acres of rust," he said. "If no one does anything to manage the rust, you could see up to a 30 percent reduction in yields."
Control has its costs too. "Let's say there are 500,000 acres that are ideal for rust growth, that need to be sprayed," he said. "If it's $15 an acre for the cost of chemicals and application, that's $7.5 million.
"It costs a lot to control the disease, but if conditions were perfect for rust and you don't control it, it's going to be a lot worse," he said.
Mother Nature seemed to be taking the rust's side, serving up a 20 percent to 50 percent chance of rain all Labor Day weekend, according to the National Weather Service offices at North Little Rock and Memphis, Tenn.
Monfort and the rest of the soybean team are issuing a conditional spray advisory for the 15 counties.
"This is not an automatic spray recommendation for all soybeans," Monfort said, adding there are specific criteria for soybean growers to check before spraying.
The good news is that much of the crop south of I-40 is looking good, extension agents for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture said.
For the latest information, call the Soybean Rust hotline at 1-866-641-1847. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Monfort (870-659-0648) or Cliff Coker (870-723-5519).

Happy Birthday Grounded Traveler20 April, 2011
April 17, 2010 was the first post on the revamped Grounded Traveler. I had a ragged blog before that, but since then I have been more directed about it. I picked a niche of writing about the expat life in addition to travels in Europe and all of the mental gymnastics that happens in both. So happy birthday Grounded Traveler. Yes, I am a little late writing this, but I'm sure the blog won't mind. It got cake on the weekend anyway.
Based on inspiration of the 7 Link Challenge that I saw on Nerdy Nomad, who was in turn inspired by Pro-Blogger, here is a look back over the last year in links. There have been 134 published articles in the last year, so there ends up being a lot to choose from.
First Post - The Passion of a Traveler and an Artist
Interesting to see where my first ideas were and where things have settled toward over time. The artist aspect of things has dropped out to an extent. The personal growth is still there, just more as philosophy and as a directed overcoming fear thread. What I didn't expect at the time was how much being an expat would become what I write about. I still like art and the beauty of the world, but it comes out more in photography than words.
Post I Enjoyed Writing the Most - American Foods that Germans do not Understand
This was a fun one to do. Food is so culturally linked and there are things that are just standard and normal in the US that the Europeans just cannot fathom. I like being able to add the humorous elements.
Post with a Great Discussion – Dictionary Time: Expat and Immigrant
Although not the post with the most comments, I liked this discussion the most. The idea of the connotation of the word immigrant was brought up. As the title of the post implies, the conversation centered around what we call ourselves as expats (or immigrants). Would love to see more people's thoughts there.
Post on Someone Else's Blog that I Wish I had Written – The Four Stages of Living Abroad (twenty-somethingtravel.com)
I love this post about the stages of expat life. I do indeed usually see all of them in the space of a week and wander back and forth.
My Greatest Gain in this Project – My Twitter Love Story (AliAdventures.com)
In promoting the blog I started in on Twitter (feel free to follow and say hi). Last July, I answered a tweet for assistance in helping a woman move her blog from WordPress.com to selfhosted. We started talking a lot and fell in love. No matter what happens with the blog having her in my life has been the greatest gain I will ever get out of this experience.
Most Helpful Post – Breaking down Fear
I have been working on getting over an intense fear of flight in the last year. This was a process post that I put up right as I bought my first plane tickets in 10 years for Greece and 3 months before I made that flight.
Title I am Proud Of – 6 month Course on Laundry for Beginners
Much of German social life includes training of one form or another. Working retail? 6 month training. Want to do any other job? Could be 2 years. This concept of training is so deeply entrenched that we sometimes make jokes about training to throw things away or do laundry.
Post that I Wish More People Had Read – Master of the Between
This is my view of the world of an Expat. Some seem really able to integrate fully and often you find the expats in their bubbles only taking briefly trips into the local culture. I live in between constantly switching and enjoy it.
The Future:
I am not stopping here of course. I am having a grand time with the blog and all of the social aspects of being a part of the blogging community. I would love to see this place grow.
Conventions: I will be at TBEX in the US in June to meet people and attach voices to faces. There is a Germany Blogger meetup this year too.
Other Project: Some may have noticed that I do not post my Wednesday Photos anymore. That is due to another project that I am working on and needed the time for. I am working on a book to help bloggers understand the technical aspects of the web better. It will hopefully be unveiled in June before TBEX.
If you need help with the technical aspects of your blog, please tweet at me or send me a mail.
Transatlantic Flight: I've flown to Greece, so my next step is the first trip home in 3.5 years, which includes a transatlantic flight. So maybe more posts about overcoming fears? Definitely reverse culture shock as well.
More Travel and More Expat Thoughts: Of course more of the stuff that I have written and enjoyed writing over the past year. I have 46 draft posts, so I haven't run out of ideas yet. Hopefully more Germany related travel as well.
Thanks for all the Fish
And of course a hearty thanks to all the people that have read, commented and reweeted my posts over the last year. I write for myself, but also for you all.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mike Love of The Beach Boys says he did not fire Brian Wilson, doesn't have the power to do that, and wouldn't even if he did. Love writes in the Los Angeles Times in response to reports that he kicked Wilson out of the Beach Boys after their 50th anniversary tour wrapped up in Europe. Love says originally Wilson was only going to join the band for a few dates but agreed to 50 dates. They added 25 more dates. Love says Wilson and Al Jardine wanted to keep the tour going, but Love had already booked his own tour. Love says like any good party, no one wants it to end, but no one wants a 50th anniversary tour that lasts 10 years.

The crack of the bat, cleats kicking up dirt after a hit and the pop of the mitt.
Cody Strack loves it all, but knows company softball teams aren't exactly safe from the company ax, even though the business he works for has a squad.
"There are other things they sponsor," said the 29-year-old, an hourly worker at Ultra Electronics-UnderSea Sensor Systems Inc. in Columbia City. "We have basketball, 5K runs or walks, volleyball and memberships at a gym. I totally get people doing other things."
Ultra Electronics makes sonobuoys, or underwater detection devices. The company is one of several businesses open to other types of health initiatives, especially if they contribute to lowering medical costs.
In January, Sirva Worldwide Relocation & Moving in Fort Wayne kicked off its Vitality Wellness Program, which encourages healthy living among Sirva's more than 500 employees.
The effort has an 88 percent participation rate. One reason for the high involvement is that Sirva makes it easy for employees to get fit. The company has an in-house workout center and cafeteria with healthy food choices.
"We've tried to have softball, volleyball and similar activities, but the participation isn't always there," said Kristen Merwin, executive vice president of human resources for Sirva. "People have so many other activities going on in their lives."
She sought out Vitality Health Group Inc. of Chicago in hopes of improving employee health and lowering company insurance premiums.
"We try to make getting fit and living a healthy lifestyle convenient," Merwin said. "Workers can exercise over their lunch hour" and some workout before the start of the day.
In January, Abby Rike, a former contestant on NBC's reality series "The Biggest Loser," who shed 100 pounds from a starting weight of 247 pounds, served as a cheerleader to fire up Sirva's employees.
To spur healthy habits, Sirva even lowered the prices on nutritious foods and plans to expand the menu at the company cafeteria.
"It's important for all of us," Merwin said.
Mike May is a consultant with the Sports & Fitness Industry Association in Silver Spring, Maryland. He said company softball teams are on the decline. He couldn't provide specific numbers, but wholesale figures are an indicator.
"There hasn't been a big jump in sales," May said. "Things have leveled off. That is to be expected when you consider people have other choices these days. Softball is no longer the only game in town. It hasn't been for years."
May said company wellness plans are a factor, but so are electronic games.
"Instead of playing softball, people sit home on a couch and let their thumbs do all the work, while playing some video game," he said. "The only thing getting a workout are your fingers. That's not healthy."

Sunil J. Wimalawansa, MD, PhD, MBA, DSc
Professor of Medicine, Endocrinology & Nutrition, retired
University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey
North Brunswick, NJ
Academic endocrinologist Sunil J. Wimalawansa, MD, PhD, MBA, DSc (Class of 2006), is busy in his early retirement. During his career, Dr. Wimalawansa received awards recognizing his endocrinology and osteoporosis research and humanitarian contributions, including the Dr. Boy Frame Award for Clinical Excellence in Metabolic Bone Diseases, American Endocrine Society Glen Foundation Award, and an innovation award from the Asian Chamber of Commerce. In 2007, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry recognized his charitable contributions with the Dr. Oscar Gluck Humanitarian Award. He's currently investigating a highly cost-effective micronutrient supplement for pregnant women in his native Sri Lanka to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality due to malnutrition and infant mortality due to low birth weight. He has also recently developed a cost-effective water purification method that is applicable globally. Through his educational and healthcare nonprofit organization, the Wimalawansa Foundation, Dr. Wimalawansa is providing potable water to remote villages, educating kids who are in need, overseeing the construction of a unique environmental center, and raising awareness about the surge of non-communicable diseases, including chronic kidney disease of unusual origin (CKDue) in the country's North Central Province.
Says Jennifer Kirby (Class of 2005), one of Dr. Wimalawansa's REMBA friends, "He expresses the dharma in his commitment to bettering the lives of people through access to health and information."—Suzanne Bujara (2010)
How do you describe your current position? Last year I retired after 38 years in academia, as a professor of endocrinology and the chief of endocrinology, metabolism, and nutrition at the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey, now part of Rutgers University. Though I'm officially retired, I still teach nationally and internationally, serve on several boards of directors of health-related organizations and journal editorial boards, and continue my philanthropic work, which I've been doing for 35 years.
How did you get to where you are now? My father, who was the chief administrator for the capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo, would frequently travel to villages throughout the country, so I would see the misery of poverty firsthand. Even as a kid, I realized that I should do whatever I could to improve people's lives. I was fortunate that my parents did not force me to go into medicine; it was my choice. My parents created for me the path of education and defined right from wrong.
What got you interested in setting up a charitable organization in Sri Lanka? A year after I graduated medical school, I worked at one of the remotest hospitals in Sri Lanka. This 80-bed facility, a District Hospital, had no electricity, running water, or any nursing staff. It was during these 11 months that I tested my ingenuity because patients refused to be transferred to a better equipped hospital 3 hours away. Among others, I treated grossly infected wounds with papaya as the hospital had no antibiotics. I was relieved to see that this natural remedy quickly sloughed off the dead tissue (as good as a surgical treatment) and I was able to send patients home within days.
During my stay, through the help of family, friends, and villagers, we were able to wire the hospital with electricity as well as plumbing to provide clean running water to the entire hospital. When I would periodically return to this remote facility, I was overwhelmed by the gratitude of former patients. They treated me like a god.
How did you garner support for your efforts? When I first started my charitable organization, I had my fellow Sri Lankans and family members assisting me. Now, I have others helping, including doctoral students from Canada, New Zealand, and Australia doing field work in medicine, engineering, construction, and other assistance. They have been instrumental in helping me to develop the model Nature Center to educate children and adults about the importance of maintaining a healthy environment and sustainability.
Are you seeking volunteers for your organization? Yes! I'm especially interested in getting assistance in various areas of expertise, including fundraising and corporate social responsibility. If anyone is interested working with our philanthropic organizations, please contact me at email@example.com. We'd love to work with you.
Of all the awards and honors, what are you most proud of? That I've always told the truth, regardless of how painful it may have been. I have no fear. I'm not intimidated by opposition or politically powerful people. I'm glad I stood up for injustices, especially environmental issues in Sri Lanka on the matter of clean drinking water, which I believe would reduce the escalating incidence of chronic kidney disease and premature deaths.
What gets you up in the morning? The opportunity to help people excites me and gets me moving. Though I'm retired, I still get calls from patients and physician colleagues in far-flung parts of the globe—Australia, Sri Lanka, and South Africa—who call me for consultations. Patients find me on the Internet, and I'm happy to help them, even if they call me at 2 am!

I agree with other reviews - this is a great location for visiting the French Quarter. But I can not give a "resort" more than a 7 with the total lack of landscaping or lack of any architectural screening between sites. They have a nice paver drive way and brick paver coach pad. But not a single bit of landscaping. The bare unpainted concrete block wall makes you feel secure, but feeling like you are in a prison yard. With daily rates approaching 100 dollars I think a little better atmosphere is called for. - cmwb
Location is great. Felt very secure. Staff is friendly. You can walk to French Quarter, but suggest a cab after dark. I would have given a 10, but felt they could have some landscaping around sites. - air28
This has always been our favorite spot when in this area. The property is located almost below I-10 and depending on your site, you could have constant traffic noise. Then again, it's the city and if you want peace and quite, look somewhere else. We absolutely love this location because we can walk to the FQ's in 10 minutes or less. (We don't suggest this after dark.) The roads are all paved and the sites are bricked. The water, 50 amps and cable were all good. There is always someone in the office and other staff members are always close by. I took 1 point off because they do not recycle. - Michael47

This is a small park on the north side of New Orleans. It is in a questionable neighborhood, but has a secured gate at night and alert, responsive, interested staff, so we did not feel uncomfortable. The gate is electric and is closed at dusk. There is a keypad code, which they provide, so you can get in at any time after it is closed. The restrooms/showers are marvelous! Well designed, well kept, cleaned daily, and conveniently located near the office. There are no pull-thru sites. The park is bounded by a motel on one side and a small office building on the other, with a rail yard behind. The yard is not very busy and was not a distraction, day or night. The park is very well maintained and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They will help you unload/disconnect from your dinghy then help you back in. They have strict but liveable rules, which are basic common sense and not cumbersome. There is a nice gazebo near the small pool & spa, which is lighted with "rope lights" and pleasant for casual conversations, even in the evening. Would I return? Yes. It is the nicest campground in the immediate area and convenient to shopping, downtown, and the French Quarter. - Steve Smith
To be honest, he sites are very close to each other and few trees or other shade. Not very private. But, having said that, it is in the middle of New Orleans and land prices are at a premium so it is understandable--and not only that, you should be out visiting the city and not sitting in the campground anyway! The owners were super nice and ran a shuttle to take you to/from the French Quarter for only $5 per person. The area is a little sketchy but the park is fenced and gated and I never felt unsafe. Warning, if you are traveling there on I-10 Westbound (coming in from Mississippi), you have to turn left onto Chef Menteur Highway (four lane highway) once you exit the interstate, and there is no traffic signal. Needless to say it took awhile to get a break in traffic in both directions to be able to turn left with our fifth wheel. The pool and hot tub area was nice, but it was too cold on our trip to use it. The bathrooms were small, but clean. There is an on-site laundry room which was clean also. - Angie C
Great park. Liked cause on City bus line. Takes you to the French Quarters. Did have to transfer to streetcar. Cheap ride 40 cents for seniors and free transfers. Can't beat that. The owner is very nice and helpful. Our first time in motor home and had to back in. No problem. They got us in the first time. I was amazed. Small park but very nice. We got next to pool and loved it. Stay here again, You bet. - sugarann

Stay anywhere but here. This place is a cramped filthy mess, filled with run-down FEMA trailers, and right next to the horrible-smelling oil refineries. At the entrance is a run-down convenience store that looks like crack-ho central. The inside of the park and the motel were no better. Each site had sewer vent stacks sticking out of the ground emitting noxious smells at eye level. I wouldn't stay there if they paid ME $20 a night. - meltar
This park is not in a good area. There is a gate that closes at night and we felt reasonably safe in the park. The parking lot of the on site convenience store is full of 'Ladies of the evening' up to mid morning. There is nothing to do in the park itself but I guess that's not what you go to New Orleans for. Rate was for a monthly rate while we were in the area working. It is close to the Interstate for access. Depending on traffic the French Quarter is 15 minutes away. Construction on the nearby drawbridge makes access tricky depending on the direction you come in from. The manager of the park knows nothing about the RV lifestyle. I was dumping the holding tank before we left and he said 'So that's how you dump the tanks'. Not bad really for a few days of sightseeing. - catadjuster
We were warned about this part of town, but it is a gated RV park next to a motel. It was clean and the staff was friendly. Sites were level enough. Very close to the French Quarter. We would stay here again. - molly29

Location is great for both downtown and airport. Park appears to be pretty busy. Staff were very helpful. Wi-Fi was fast. AT&T cell worked well. Power and water good. Be wary of berries from trees dropping on roof and slide toppers. Entrance to park is a little hidden so be careful. Left hand turns into park require crossing busy two lane section of road. Turn is almost a U turn. - GerMarV
The good aspects of this park: Lowest rate in New Orleans, good staff, good cable, 15 min to airport or French Quarter. The not good is: at least two very, very loud trains in the middle of the night, poor wifi, sites close. If you have a large fifth wheel or large motor home do not book on line. This is a small park with basically two roads. The entrance road has plenty of room for RV's and tows, the other street does not. If you are on the other street forget getting out early in the morning as both sides of the street is filled with large pick ups and you will not be able to get out. We will not be back. - kegmaster
Great Park. Very clean. Nice dog park. And a special thanks to the staff. Great folks. - davis3659

We've been on the road for 9 months and this is by far the most substandard RV park we've encountered (and there have been some shockers!). Geographically (which the owners aren't responsible for) is is unfortunate, sandwiched between a busy highway and very busy railway line with continual train movements all night. What the owners can take responsibility for is the disgustingly dirty state of everything - from the grounds to the toilets that had no toilet paper and appeared to be uncleaned for months. We would drive all night before ever contemplating staying here again. We are not fussy people and truly cannot emphasize how bad this park is. - Monaire Corporati
Once again we let PPA make our choice for us. You have unlimited stay here and now I know why. The only good thing about this Park, it does have FHU and is close to downtown (WWII Museum). The sites are small, but the owner lets you park wherever you want. There are rundown units that haven't moved in years throughout. You park yourself, put your money in an envelope, and push it through the hole in the door. The biggy at this Park is the train yard just across the fence. The trains are switching all night with noise that goes from the whistles to the screeching of wheels on the tracks. We won't be staying here again. - Arizona Traveler

We stayed one night and were disappointed. There is very little grass, the sites are mostly crushed stone with some shrubbery between sites.The WiFi signal was weak and the cable was iffy. In one laundry room 3 of the four washers were out of order, the same with the dryers. The other laundry room had only one broken dryer. Next time we'll try someplace else. - User3025
Photos almost as per website. Sites are very close one to the other. Landscape of trees and rocks only to separate each site very nice but the rest of the park need TLC. Staff very friendly, working hard but could not do anything to resolve our internet problem. We had to wait after 11:00 AM for the manager to come in. Some owners of dogs do not pick-up after their dog and leave the stuff close to your RV or picnic table! They also leave them to bark. Shuttle hours for us were too long between pick-ups, so we took the car and drove, parked behind French Quarter's Resort on St-Louis Street. Walked to the quarter's. Next time we will take a cheaper RV Park and drive close to Burbon Street. Laundry poor. Only 1 washer of 4 which was not out of order! Internet slow, had to log again every half hour or so. Will not come back. - Liz & Bob
The best way to describe this park is to say that it has great potential, but needs attention. Glad I was paying the Passport America discounted rate because I would have been disappointed at full price. The pool is small and was closed with no explanation. The dust from the park roads is terrible. It's within reasonable distance from the French Quarter and the shuttle is handy, but it only runs a few times a day and it costs $6/day. I looked into the washrooms without using them. One was closed, the other was due for a good cleaning. 2 of the 3 washers/dryers were out of order. The sites are tight together, unless you get into the premium lots. The Wi-Fi is available in the main building. One good point is the on-site restaurant. we had some really good ribs and Cajun cooking there. - Voyageurs

OK, all the previous reviews are correct. Scary part of town, so we didn't even grocery shop at a nearby grocery store while we were here; will do it when we arrive at next destination. Bathrooms were old but surprisingly clean. If you want a close destination to French Quarters and don't mind HWY noise, then this is an okay place to stay for a couple of days if you are careful and also do your grocery shopping before you arrive. It also rained two days really hard while we were here and the drainage is good. Should have been $20 a night not $30!! There were only about 4 RV travelers in the whole park; the rest are permanent workers that park their RVs there. - kemosabe
Whoa. This is a scary place and a cat breeding ground to boot. The pool is filthy. The amenities are old and gave me the heebie geebies. Really nasty part of town, near the hwy, and train tracks. And, it is definitely located on the wrong side of those tracks. I wish I hadn't booked and paid before seeing it. I actually considered leaving and camping in Walmart but then felt I would prefer to have the gated protection of the Riverboat. Later, I wondered who I was being gated with? Felt uneasy the whole time. Kept everything locked up tight. Couldn't wait to leave in the morning. - kweega
It is a small gated parking lot. No frills here however all the services worked well, I felt very secure and the owner is friendly and helpful. For anyone stopping to sight see New Orleans, it is a perfect stop. Right off the I-10, city bus stop right in front and grocery store right down the street. If we come back to New Orleans we will stay here. - Biker2

So this owner has been offering some crappy offers recently.
He offered me Craig Monroe/Brady Clark for Crawford, which I rejected out of hand.
Anyway, he offered this trade:
His Pujols and Carlos Guillen
Aubrey Huff and Jose Reyes
Which I voted against and it got vetoed.
THEN he offered this one:
Pujols, Guillen, Luis Gonzalez (ARI), Gustavo Chacin
Huff, Reyes, and Chris Ray
That one got vetoed before I even saw it. I think you could probably get all 3 of those players for pujols alone if you had 2 sucky players to drop and you really wanted to trade him even though I would never do that trade.
Are those vetoable? He posted a message that said that he has his reasons.

NEW YORK U.S. bulk ferrous scrap export sales recorded mixed results last week as West Coast exporters pushed for more value while an East Coast sale softened prices.
Only two bulk cargoes were sold by U.S. exporters to Turkey last week as Turkish buyers spent the better part of the week celebrating a religious holiday.
According to market participants, one exporter sold a mixed cargo at $377.50 per tonne c.i.f. Turkey for 27,000 tonnes of an 80/20 mix of No. 1 and No. 2 heavy melt, $382.50 per tonne for 15,000 tonnes of shred and $387.50 per tonne for 3,000 tonnes of plate and structural scraprelatively unchanged on a pre-shipment value from the same exporters previous sale a week ago from the Gulf Coast.
However, a 30,000-tonne bulk shipment from a different exporter was about $4 per tonne lower than the last sale of the same volume, indicating that prices could come under pressure. The cargo reportedly went for $378 per tonne for 8,000 tonnes of HMS 1&2 (80:20) and $383 per tonne for 12,000 tonnes of shred.
Despite the lower prices on a delivered basis, pre-shipment values on the East Coast slipped only marginally from a week ago due a large difference in freight rates for the two exporters shipping different volumes and one needing to load material from two ports to complete the sale.
As a result, AMMs East Coast Ferrous Scrap Export Index settled Aug. 12 at $349.40 per tonne f.o.b. New York, just 23 cents lower than a week earlier.
Meanwhile, uncertainty prevails over the West Coast market due to rumors of possible bulk sales to South Korea.
Sources claim that one Korean consumer intentionally released information pointing to lower-priced sales of $363 per tonne delivered for heavy melt, which some said is at least $5 per tonne below actual market value.
The Korean consumer reportedly booked three bulk cargoes from West Coast exporters, who also were rumored to be negotiating with a second mill in Korea and one in Japan.
One market participant said a deal had been concluded with another Korean mill at $365 per tonne on a heavy melt price basis, while a buyer for a fourth mill in Korea said he had received U.S. offers of $375 per tonne for HMS 1&2 (80:20).
The buyer suggested that currency markets had contributed to a U.S. push for higher prices. "The Japanese yen is getting strong and (Japanese scrap exporters) offer price is around $365 per tonne now. The market price is keeping strong in Japan, so Korean buyers are looking for U.S. bulk scrap now," he said.
AMMs West Coast Ferrous Scrap Export Index settled Aug. 12 at $334.94 per tonne f.o.b. Los Angeles, up 73 cents from a week earlier.
