JW Pet Bad Cuz Dog Toy Customer Reviews
JW Pet Bad Cuz Dog Toy 31 31
one of puppy's favorite balls She loves squeaking this ball and chewing on it, and when I throw it it bounces in all sorts of crazy directions which also excites her. It seems sturdy but she's not a toy destroyer March 26, 2013
My Border Collie loves his Bad Cuz toys My dog has several of the red Bad Cuz balls and he loves to play with them even though the squeakers no longer work. I can tell him to go find his "Cherry Bub" that is what I named them, and off he will go to find one of them and then play with it. I am very happy I found these toys for him, and plan to buy a couple more for his Christmas stocking. November 21, 2013
THE "FOREVER BALL" MY VERY ACTIVE 10 YEAR OLD GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG "STORM", (103 LBS), STILL HAS SOME "BAD CUZ" AND "GOOD CUZ" DOG TOYS FROM WHEN HE WAS UNDER A YEAR OLD. I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE DAMAGED. THESE ARE THE BEST!! January 3, 2013
Withstood a doberman puppy's first year I bought dozens of toys for my doberman puppy when we got him at 10 weeks, his Bad Cuz red ball is the only survivor. He loves his Bad Cuz and it withstands his powerful chewing. The squeaker stopped working about 6 months into it, but the ball is still intact and it's the only toy I haven't had to take away from him due to him chewing it into pieces. November 15, 2012
My dog's favorite toy This is my dog's favorite toy! He is very strong and tears lots of toys apart but so far he hasn't been able to damage this at all. He loves to chase it & it is easy to throw really far. He loves how it bounces. I think his favorite part is squeaking it once he gets it! July 11, 2013
Didn't last long The price for this is really skewed compared to the quality. Easily chewed up (and this was the large size). The squeaker gone in no time. Sorry! Won't be purchasing this again. March 3, 2013
sturdy, but not enough for a mastiff My 1 year old English Mastiff loved this toy and played with it constantly. After about 4 days, the squeaker got loose and fell out of the toy. Not as much fun without the cool squeaky noise, so he's no longer interested. December 30, 2012
Not durable Within the first hour my dog chewed it up. The noise it made really excited my dogs, but to be practical a dog's toy should be able to withstand routine use. April 21, 2013

The Mayor says the NYPD's monitoring of Muslim college groups and students is to make us safer. But the premise this investigation is then taking is that every Muslim college student could be undertaking in or is prone to terrorist activity. Such an assertion is a blatant generalization. Now it'd be one thing if police had intelligence that certain Muslim groups or students were doing so, but without that, it is racial profiling of an entire group of people, and a gross violation of their civil rights.
Some Muslim student groups and university officials are calling for an investigation, after an Associated Press report revealed the NYPD monitored Muslim college students across the Northeast. The AP released a report this weekend, saying police talked with local authorities about professors 300 miles away in Buffalo, and sent an undercover agent on a student whitewater rafting trip in upstate New York. Detectives also visited websites, blogs, and forums of Muslim student associations at more than a dozen universities, including Yale, Columbia, NYU and a number of SUNY campuses.
An NYPD spokesman said police only checked websites between 2006 and 2007, and "investigated persons who we had reasonable suspicion to believe might be involved in unlawful activities." The spokesman said police wanted to get a better handle on what was occurring at student associations, saying 12 people arrested or convicted on terrorism charges had once been members of Muslim student associations.
The president of Yale released a statement denouncing the NYPD's surveillance as "antithetical to the values of Yale, the academic community, and the United States." Muslim groups are calling it a violation of civil rights, and saying the NYPD is criminalizing a whole community based on its religion. But Mayor Bloomberg defended the police department today, saying: "The job of our law enforcement is to make sure that they prevent things. And you only do that by being proactive." What do you say?
Do you agree with the police department's monitoring of Muslim student associations? Should the NYPD be surveying students outside New York? Is this a violation of civil rights or a reasonable way to keep the country safe?
Send your thoughts using the link above.
The US Government and Security should do whatever it needs to do to insure the safety of the American people even if it means surveillance of student due to prior students who have had contact with persons of interest. If the students being watched are completely innocent they should not be concerned. I say the NYPD is completely justified in being proactive.
What they're doing is racist, plain and simple. Did we expect every German to be a Nazi after WW2?? In some ways this reminds me of the paranoia during the Cold War, when anyone with leftist leanings was suspect, and perhaps a Communist. Haven't we learned anything? What is becoming of the U,S,? We have no right to treat people this way.
BarriJackson Heights
If they are not guilty of anything then why the resistance to the NYPD's approach?As we all know there have been plenty of things reveled on the internet as of late.Also for the president of Yale or any university for that matter to object to thisprocedure. The presidents of all of these schools should keep an eye out on theirown students. It seems as though with all of the incidents that have happened inthese colleges lately they should not be complaining about their rights being infringed upon.Also when one shows an ID drivers license and is still asked to take a picture toopen an account in a bank. Is that a correct thing to do? But never the less if thatis the rule then we all have to abide by the rules.This is a different world we live in and precautions have be taken and as I havealready mentioned, if you have done nothing wrong then just go along with it.I have been fingerprinted and so what was I to do say no and put up a fuss. Icould tell you that when going for a job if that is part of the resume then we haveto abide by their rules or look somewhere else for employment.
What else was the NYPD supposed to do ?Who is going to protect us ?Who else bombs planes ?It would be insanity if the US didn't do anything -so what the investigators are saying its okay for us to get killed and not say anything about it.
EsmereldaEast Village
Nypd should be monitoring all groups- and that is what bloomberg should have sad.
This is racial profiling
JosieKips Bay
Asking the bleeding obvious, who besides Muslims attempted to blow up the WTC in 1993, who but Muslims flew two planes into the twin towers, the Pentagon and another unknown site?
All Muslims are not terrorists. But all terrorists have been Muslim.
JoePort Richmond
Honor killings are on the rise in the USA and there are entities who are working to introduce Shariah law mainstream. Furthermore, it is a known fact that funds for Islamic extremists are funneled through mosques and various Islamic groups and while many Muslims claim that that they are not all jihadists, they have yet to take a stand publicly against Islamic extremists.
That being said, let NYPD do its job.
The NY Police should be dedicated exclusively to protecting NY from crime Let the Federal Agencies do their job without 'cooperation' (= interference) by local Agencies. We in N Y need the Police for ourselves.
The question is not whether it's right or wrong to monitor any group. The question is what is the specific lead that the NYPD had to monitor these students in particular. If there was a legitimate reason for monitoring these students, then it is just and the NYPD was doing their part in protecting our city. However, if the reason was because "muslim students" have been known to have terrorist links, then it is an atrocious breach of our civil liberties and Mayor Bloomberg should be appalled. He should also have more respect and refrain from making condescending remarks (his use of "cute") when speaking about civil liberties. He must lead by example and respect all questions, comments and concerns the people he governs have especially when his actions are teetering on the infringement of our constitutional rights.
MarianaGramercy Park
Why stop there? EVERY religious should be watched! Let's face it, they ALL have more than their fair share of wackos. Want to REALLY stop them all? TAX them!
NickHell's Kitchen
Sure we should keep Muslim men, especially college students, under surveillance. If such steps had been taken 10 years ago the clean-cut flying students who carried out the 9/11 atrocities might not have got away with it. We have to be vigilant since we have dearly paid the price of not being vigilant.
FrancesEast Village
I am a conservative and I am EMBARRASSED at how ill-informed and ignorant Summer sounds!!!! The issue is just profiling that if done, should be handled at the federal level!
The Muslims need their own Al Sharpton! And it sure is the liberals as the first caller claimed.
MZ Richmond Hill NY
If the surveillance is done on Muslim student associations and even one (1) terrorist plot or one (1) rogue student is found then it's worth it.
The problem for the NYPD is the question of whether or not they are violating any laws.
Profiling is a necessary tool to stop criminals. PERIOD.
Everyone should applaud the NYPD's efforts, they stopped potential attacks.
We need to remember the 911 hijackers were MUSLIM.
I live in Battery park City. 19 years. I was on West Street when the first plane hit. Unless you were there, you have no concept of how important it is to prevent a repeat. People who are law-abiding have no fear from the NYPD.
BillBattery Park City
The NYPD may have a very good reason to be doing this. They do not have to tell us why.These spoiled college brats were only 8 years old when our nation was shook to its core. Thank you NYPD for doing what is right to protect my country.
JoeForest Hills
Monitoring is 100x better than stop and frisk. You'll never see someone arguing against stop and frisk by saying that the stop and frisk policy will create terrorists or criminals. What does that say about the people being monitored?
The blacks have been living in the United States for hundreds of years struggling under the racial radar with their civil rights stripped away but yet everyone makes a big deal about the civil rights of Muslims after they took down the towers?
I think the NYPD should leave the Muslim alone and be preoccupied by the crimes that go around every single day.
New York Police should not surveil anyone who is not under suspicion of a crime,or suspected of actively conspiring to comit a crime-based on evidence.;this is a violation of innocent citizen's constitutional rights.If someone is suspected of conspiracy outside of New York City,it is the authority of the FBI, not the NYPD, to investigate this.New York City's Police Department has absolutely no excuse to spy on any innocent citizen outside their jurisdiction, which is New York City,not the world.September 11th's mass murders are not a handy excuse for "pro-active" extensions of police power or executive power beyond that lawfully given those branches of any US government,local or national.
Where does the NYPD get jurisdiction to investigate the whole country on behalf of NYC? At the cost of any group's personal freedoms being violated. This is modern day McCarthyism. And, who the hell is footing the bill for this unwanted service. In addition, Commissioner Kelly was just recently on the carpet for illegal and inappropriate conduct at a NYPD training facility. And, why is the mayor constantly white washing NYPD inept and illegal procedures. They just shot an unarmed kid for a misdemeanor crime. You can't judge a book by it's cover and the illusion of security is only an illusion (ie. armed officers in the streets and subways). Darrell from Harlem, NY.
First of all, profiling is a way of life, everyone on the planet does it based on their prior experiences, even animals do it, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with profiling, it's simply going with the house odds.
Second, since 9/11, I haven't heard of any Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, or any other religious extremist terrorists except Muslims, so why not keep a close eye on them; you profile the most likely group.
Third, unless I missed it, I haven't heard of one single case where a Muslim turned in a possible Muslim terrorist. Every Muslim caught in the last 10 years trying to blow something up, has been caught by other means, including profiling. So as the old saying goes, "if you're not against it, you're for it," and until I start hearing of Muslims turning in possible terrorists and/or suspicious activities in their neighborhoods, it certainly appears as though they're for it; it's time they stop flapping their gums on how American they've become, and prove it with some patriotic action in helping to capture those that preach hatred among them.
WalterNew Dorp
Define terrorists ......its the beginning of our loss of civil rights. There are giving police the right to do this not only to Muslims but to all & any accused terrorist. Its only beginning with Muslims but its not going to end there people in fear are losing site of the truth. Society needs to wake up and realize that imperfect human beings that hold a title in government cannot protect us they can only take our rights. Sept. 11 should prove enough that evil exists & laws cannot stop nor prevent evil from happening.
This white power structure has been monitoring people of color for years. When was the last time they monitored a white racial group? Even though Homeland Security has proof these groups are on the rise since the election of our first black president. The paranoid white power structure is turning our country into a police state! I say all of us are in danger from them not the other way around.
BrendaFar Rockaway
The public right to safety unfortumately supercedes individual rights at times. I am apalled at the ignornace being aired tonight. Most of your callers are obviously clueless when it comes to US constitution and individual freedoms. JohnForest Hills
I have a large problem with the protests from groups regarding the NYPD monitering of Muslim student organizations. Some of your call-ins compared this to the Holocaust. Seriously, do any of these people actually understand what happened during the Holocaust?! Almost all the acts of Terrorism lately have been committed or attempted by Islamic extremists. I don't understand why these student Muslim groups are not outraged by that, people hijacking their religion for the purpose of terrorism, I find that more outrageous then the NYPD trying to protect us all from another 9/11! The NYPD is 'monitoring' these groups, not arresting people or causing any harm. In fact the NYPD has been responsible for stopping many terrorist attempts. Most rational people in NYC are grateful we have such a vigilant police force. It is easy to distract from the issue calling this racial profiling and bringing up civil rights but this is a matter of safety. JoyNew York
We can do whatever it takes to keep us safe. Who cares what they surveil let them work their magic and kick out those Muslims!
As a good Muslim, I would say feel free to investigate me because we know they will investigate me when I'm in a muslim country because 'Im an American. Good muslims have nothing to hide.
I agree with maintaining rights and o Privacy, however, Why is it that no one is on the streets protesting terrorists? Ray Kelly didn't fly a plane into our skyline. It is radical muslims who have created this situation for us, NOT the NYPD. People have to accept that radical Muslims attacked us and want to continue to do so, thereby creating a threat. If we want protection then a certain amount of racial profiling dies need to occur, whether we like it or not. If student associations were used to recruit then it makes sense doesn't it? And finally if one thinks that this monitoring is going to cause Muslim students to get angry and turn against America then 1. That is quite a passive aggressive way to approach it and 2. If that really does occur then it would lead me to think something is wrong with those individuals - then you were a terrorist to begin with.
Don't be angry at the country that wants you to be safe, be angry at those extremists that propagate the problem with their violence.
NicoleUpper East Side
As a boy i was told that the police were here to protect us and our rights but now, as a young man i see that they work for the Mayor and he is clearly allowing them to infringe on our rights as Americans. Bloomberg is turning this city into a police state and slowly i can see the separation between The American people and it's government. We are no longer a government of the people by the people but rather, a government of people for the people. The only people we should be worried about is Bloomberg and his thugs.
I think this is wrong and outrages. Anyone can be a terrorist. Muslims should not be targeted.
I feel disgusted to live in such a place where this is happening. If NYPD is going to do this they should monitor all groups. This is just another sign of how we are privacy losing rights, and slowly beginning fade into the a very discriminatory and racist country again.
Liliana Midtown
This is a new world since 9/11. We have to give up some freedoms to be safer. If you are not guilty of anything, accept the surveillance and move forward. We need to protect America and specifically NYC. Muslim extremists are just that, extreme. They will strike without warning and better we get a step ahead. Stop with the civil rights etc, and remember it is about protecting your life and the lives of millions.
You can NOT compare the NYPD activities to the Nazi's. The Nazi's were completely intolerant. They arrested people without cause. The Jews did not fly airplanes into buildings. They did nothing illegal, nothing to prompt their treatment.The NYPD is not exterminating Muslims. They are investigating groups of them. And if their is no wrong doing, then there should be no reason for this discussion.NYPD should stay within their jurisdiction.
The Muslims of USA is just patriotic like other Americans. If there is anyone(not only Muslim) must be responsible for their actions. Why only Muslims are the target. How many other examples we have here in Ny and beyond. I think we the Muslim are love this country like other. We have so many in the USA army & si many in NYPD.
Iqbal Staten Island.
Walter's last comment seems pretty much on point. The 19 young men on the planes on 9/11/01 were all Muslims and just about every attempted attack since have been Muslims . Is there any real reason we should be watching every other culture? When you as a supposed mediator of this program are so whole heartedly are against the NYPD how would you like them to do their job? Perhaps you should watch the footage of 9/11 and go talk to people who lived through it and even more important ask the survivors of those who did not come home that day. I live my life as best I can and I' m not worried about big brother watching me......why are you?
Power corrupts I guess, that is the lesson of the Bloomberg administration. Aside from the obvious profiling implications, what gives the NYPD investigative powers at schools in other parts of the state and even at out-of state schools ? Despite their skewed numbers to the contrary there are enough crimes in this city that should be enough to keep the NYPD busy, why don't they concentrate on doing their actual job. The NYPD is not the FBI and Bloomberg is not the President, New York is not the only place to have been hit with a terrorist attack and Muslims aren't the only ones who have committed such crimes.
This is not unlike the shooting they had in the Bronx recently, where there is this perception that one group of people is committing 100% of any given crime. They don't kick in people's doors in white neighborhoods where there is the same crime, and when someone who is not Muslim does something that could be considered terrorist activity they don't blanket their neighborhood with undercover cops. Did they investigate everyone who knew that guy in New Jersey who was firebombing Jewish houses of worship? Have they ever looked for anybody past the handful of people involved in the Oklahoma City bombing? Has any White Power group ever been charged with committing terrorist acts against American citizens?

Grain Processing Corporation (GPC) has announced a GNS beverage grade ethnaol price increase of $0.08 per proof gallon beginning February 1, 2010. They have advised their customers that in order to ease the impact of this increase, it will be phased in, with a February 1, 2010, price increase of $0.04/proof gallon above the 1/1/10 price, and a March 1, 2010 price increase of $0.04/proof gallon over the 2/1/10 price. GPC is citing increasing feedstock costs and increasing energy cost to produce high quality GNS. Both the beverage grade and the industrial market continues to experience very strong demand. In addition to the GNS beverage grade announcement, GPC has announced an industrial ethanol price increase. Effective January 1, 2010, Grain Processing Corporation will increase all schedule and off-schedule prices for 190 and 200 proof pure and all denatured industrial ethyl alcohol formulations by $0.20 per wine gallon, not to exceed list price schedule. Strong demand and tight inventories are expected to continue well into 2010.
MGP Ingredients, Inc. today announced it has entered into a joint venture agreement with SEACOR Energy, Inc.'s affiliate, Illinois Corn Processing Holdings, Inc., to reactivate distillery operations at MGPI's facility in Pekin, Illinois. The facility will be owned and operated by a separate entity called Illinois Corn Processing, LLC and initially will be dedicated to the production of alcohol for beverage, industrial and fuel applications. Production is expected to begin in the near future...more
David Dykstra has been promoted to vice president of alcohol sales and marketing at MGP Ingredients, Inc. (MGPI) effective immediately. He brings over 20 years of sales and marketing experience to his new position, most recently serving as industrial alcohol sales manager at the company since 2006...more
The Industrial Ethanol Association (IEA) is pleased to announce the recent appointment of Pascale Rouhier as Secretary General. Pascale Rouhier has six years' experience in international trade, including previously representing trade associations in agriculture and commodities as Secretary General. IEA's members are synthetic ethanol producers INEOS, PetroSA Europe, and Sasol Solvents Germany. Its objective is to represent the interests of this sector to policymakers and other stakeholders in order to promote fair competition and maintain a healthy European ethanol market. Synthetic ethanol is produced from fossil fuels and is used in the industrial market, mainly for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, inks and industrial chemical products...more
The United States industrial market is poised for a round of price increases next month. A number of suppliers have announced a 45 cent per gallon price increase effective April 1, 2008, which represents a market increase of approximately 16% to 19%.
Industrial ethanol is typically negotiated on an annual basis, and many 2008 contracts were negotiated back in November 2007, with $3.75 per bushel corn. Corn closed at $5.392 yesterday, with recent excursions above $5.60 per bushel. Corn prices are now $1.65 to $1.85 per bushel higher than when many 2008 contracts were negotiated, representing a cost increase of between 45 and 55 cents per gallon. No doubt producers hedge corn with some larger contracts, but hedging programs expire, and at some point, costs will be realized by the producer, and at some point, will need to be passed on to the marketplace.
Meanwhile, fuel ethanol prices have exploded, and much of the industrial market is selling at a discount to fuel ethanol.
Accordingly, which should not be a surprise to many, a round of increases have been announced for April 1, 2008. However, due to a number of reasons, the support is fragmented. Archer Daniels Midland announced a 45 cpg price increase effective April 1, 2008. LyondellBasell has also announced a 45 cpg increase effective April 1, 2008, for their domestic synthetic ethanol. Sasol, with imported synthetic ethanol, in a per pound equivalent, announced a 7 cent per pound increase, which is slightly over 45 cpg, effective April 1, 2008. On the other hand, Grain Processing Corporation, announced a 20 cpg increase effective April 1, 2008, and announced a 15 cent per gallon increase effective July, 2008. The July increase is subject to market conditions. MGP Ingredients announced a 20 cpg increase effective April 1, 2008. Vertical, with imported Brazilian cane ethanol, announced a 25 cpg increase effective April 1, 2008. Commercial Alcohol, with imported Canadian corn fermentation ethanol and European synthetic has also announced a 45 cpg price increase effective April 1, 2008 . However, the fact is that much of the market is contractually obligated to maintain current prices through Q2 2008. So, many contract customers have price protection through June 2008. Therefore, they will not see an increase April 1, 2008. Non contract, incremental and any new or spot business will realize the full potential of the respective price increase announcements. Costs have increased, demand is strong and inventories are balanced to tight.
Also, the fact is that much of the industrial market is selling at a discount to fuel ethanol, which is crazy. Industrial ethanol requires additional investment on the back end for additional extractive distillation, rectification and finishing. This can be done with two, or perhaps three additional columns. With extractive distillation, water and steam is added to high proof ethanol. This allows for the removal of oils and impurities in the column. Dilute ethanol is removed the bottom of the tower and then fed to a rectifier, and proof increased back up to approximately 190. The final distillation process removes additional impurities and odors. Industrial ethanol specifications are very tight and production must be consistent. Generally speaking, industrial ethanol pricing is more stable, compared to fuel ethanol. Although, the prices do not reach the spikes experienced with fuel ethanol during periods of high demand and low inventory, the market prices do not reach the troughs experienced during periods of over supply. Volume agreements are normally contracted for the calendar year, and prices commonly have quarterly price protection, and this year six month price protection was not uncommon.
Both industrial and fuel fermentation ethanol start from the same source, typical corn dry milling process or wet milling process. The differentiation between the products is due to the amount of capital spent on the back end for processing the ethanol, for the additional distillation and rectification of the ethanol to remove impurities and odor, storage/inventory capability, terminals and denaturing. Additionally, the administrative cost for the production, handling and sale of industrial ethanol is significantly higher than fuel ethanol. A fuel ethanol producer/marketer may have one manager selling 500 million gallons. Meanwhile, an industrial ethanol marketer may have a sales staff of five to sell 35 million gallons, with customer service, quality control and shipping. Many industrial ethanol customers receive their product in tank truck quantities. Most users have limited storage capability, so they require "just-in-time" shipments, which means that will need a specific volume delivered on a specific date, and at a specific time. It is difficult, and costly, to manage an industrial ethanol business, especially compared to fuel ethanol. All of this, including denaturants, adds up to at least 35 cpg of addition cost compared to fuel ethanol. The United States industrial market demand is approximately 270 million gallons in 2007. The market demand is segregated into solvent and chemical intermediate usage. Solvent demand in 2007 totaled 165 million gallons (61% of the industrial market demand), and chemical intermediate demand totaled 165 million gallons (39% of the industrial market demand). Beverage ethanol is approximately 65 million gallons, which includes exports. Growth rates are flat to 2% per year. Compared to the fuel ethanol, the annual demand is quite small, representing less than 4% of the entire ethanol market.

Important News - Notice from Grain Processing Corporation (GPC) regarding removal of
brucine sulfate from GPC denaturant program - April 1, 2007
Brucine sulfate has posed a denaturant dilemma for GPC since 1988 when we
learned that producers in India, the only place we know that produces this
product, extended weak brucine sulfate supplies by adding strychnine at over
100 ppm. Brucine alkaloid and brucine sulfate are class B poisons and although
authorized by the TTB for use in making SDA 40-1 and 40-2, personal products
containing even trace amounts of a class B poison are questionable at best. GPC has two issues with handling brucine sulfate. There is a distinct safety issue
to our employees in working with this product. We do not feel that we can
continue to put our personnel at risk in handling a poison as a denaturant. We
made a similar decision 15 years ago when we discontinued handling nicotine for
SDA 4 manufacture. Secondly, the quality control for brucine alkaloid and its resulting sulfate salt has
been very inconsistent. The solubility parameter has varied greatly in alcohol.
This solubility parameter is more critical in colder weather. We no longer wish to
deal with an inconsistent quality product as a denaturant for our quality alcohol.
Since GPC makes a significant effort to consistently produce the highest quality
alcohol for our customer's use, then why would we wish to stake our hard
earned quality reputation on a highly variable denaturant, especially when it's a
class B poison? Since there is an excellent proven alternative to brucine sulfate already being
used in the marketplace with success (Bitrex-denatonium benzoate, ie. SDA
40B), we have made the decision to no longer denature with brucine sulfate or
brucine alkaloid effective January 1, 2008. Hopefully this notice will give our
customers sufficient time to evaluate alternative formulations to SDA 40-1 and
40-2. Should you have further questions, please contact your GPC sales representative.

04.10.07 - The April 1, 2007, industrial ethanol market $.15 per gallon price increase was firm and fully effective. For more details, subscribe to the Ethanol Market Weekly News and Market Report.
02.28.07 - There have not been any announcements, but based on our analysis of the fundamentals, the industrial ethanol market may be poised for another round of increases April 1, 2007. The market continues to experience strong demand, and tight inventories. Although, in this case, $4.25 to $4.50 corn may be pushing producers to recoup some of the significant and very real cost increases. Q1 2007 price offers were extended with significantly lower corn prices. The major fermentation players in the United States industrial market are ADM, Grain Processing and Midwest Grain Products Ingredients, and Commercial Alcohol supplies product from Canada. Higher prices may encourage increased Brazilian imports.
Regardless, prices will need to increase to capture lost margin and to compete with other derivative values, mainly starch, and frankly, to compete with corn as corn, as opposed to fermenting into ethanol. For a full industrial ethanol market review, subscribe to the Ethanol Market Weekly News and Market Report, the Premier Ethanol Industry Newsletter, Web News and Consulting Source.
01.23.07 - The January 1, 2007, 15 cent per gallon industrial ethanol market price increase was fully implemented in the United States. The overall supply and demand balances remain tight.
12.08.06 - Looks like all major participants in the United States Industrial Ethanol Market have announced a 15 cent per gallon price increase effective January 1, 2007. Please subscribe to the Ethanol Market Weekly News and Market Report for full details.
11.21.06 - The industrial ethanol market is poised for an increase January 1, 2007. The industrial market traded at the foot of the booming fuel ethanol market this summer, with prices only moving up fractionally compared to fuel ethanol. Live by the sword and die by the sword! The industrial marketers are too smart to base prices on the vagaries, moods and swings in the fuel ethanol market. Over time, industrial prices tend to have lower peaks and higher valleys, which results in stability. However, during the past 18 months, industrial prices have had a hard time bringing up the bottom of the market up to appropriate premiums above the fuel ethanol market, and even some mid sized business margins were not appropriate. The Ethanol Market industrial ethanol premium required to cover the additional cost is 40 cpg. The additional cost includes capital cost for the initial investment, higher energy required for the extra distillation, rectification and dehydration, denaturants, denaturing, transportation, terminal and sales and administrative cost, and the Harvard Business School term, the hassle factor. Industrial business is hard work. Without the 40 cpg premium, which should be baseline target across the entire portfolio, sales into the industrial market is more of a revenue chaser, not margin enhancement. Frankly, on a straight margin basis, the industrial market should be short right now. However, you can't jump in and out the industrial market, and if you do the penalty can be severe.
Grain Processing Corporation has announced to their customers a 15 cpg industrial price increase effective January 1, 2006. Other fermentation producers, including Midwest Grain Products Ingredients, Commercial Alcohols and Archer Daniels Midland, are expected to follow, supported by very strong demand, low inventory and a very real cost push from the skyrocketing corn market. The synthetic boys never recovered the margins from the exploding ethylene prices earlier in the summer, and Lyondell and Sasol are also struggling with inventory. Lyondell just came out of an unscheduled 5 day outage due to an ethylene interruption, and this is on the heels of a scheduled 35 day plant outage late summer. Product is indeed tight. Short may not be the correct term, but the industrial pipeline really can't handle any more burps.
Unfortunately, or fortunately from the buyers perspective, several big league deals were cut before the corn explosion, and before the recent surge in fuel ethanol prices. We were surprised when the news hit the street. Perhaps too much weight was put on the fuel ethanol supply side later in 2007. However, those deals in all probability are a "that was then and this now" scenario, and marketers are expected to pull in the reigns and be a lot more conservative with price and price protection. The 15 cpg January 1, 2007, price increase will be firm. Corn prices are now trading in the $3.60 range. This is a far cry from the 1.60 cash prices earlier in the summer. Corn is the big question mark. With the volatility of this market, fermentation producers will reluctant to get caught in a margin squeeze. At 2.8 gallons per bushel of corn, there is over 35 cpg of cost increase from $2.50 bushel to $3.50 per bushel. At $3.50 per bushel, there is over $1.25 per gallon of gross corn cost per gallon ethanol. The squeeze is on, and the fundamentals are not expected to improve any time soon, especially with respect to corn. Actually, December corn closed at $3.60 per bushel on Monday November 20, 2006. Hang on to your hats, because it is going to be a wild ride in 2007!
10.02.06 - TORONTO: Commercial Alcohols Inc, Canada's leading ethanol producer, has taken on a new name to reflect its fast-growing ethanol production business. The new name is GreenField Ethanol Inc., to illustrate the growing importance of its ethanol business. The company, which still has a substantial beverage and industrial alcohol production business, began from a standing start in 1989 as Commercial Alcohols and has grown to be Canada's leading fuel and packaged alcohol producer. Through leadership and ingenuity, GreenField has forged a business model over the past 18 years that sets it apart from an industry that is focused almost exclusively on the construction of one-off fuel plants. "GreenField Ethanol is committed to being a leader in the development of world-class ethanol production facilities," said President and CEO Bob Gallant."This company is poised to take advantage of the rapid growth in the fuel ethanol marketplace by practicing what it preaches – disciplined management, creative thinking and an unending drive to do better." GreenField has three world-class ethanol-manufacturing facilities and two new facilities under development. The plants are located in Chatham and Tiverton, Ontario and a new facility will open in early spring of 2007 in Varennes, Quebec. Construction on two 200-million litre per year plants, in Johnstown and Hensall, Ontario, is slated to begin shortly.GreenField's expansion plans show that ethanol production is projected to grow to more than 700 million litres per year by 2008 making GreenField one of the top producers in North America.
"GreenField has experience in building several successful ethanol plants in Canada and is committed to remaining at the forefront of biofuels production technology in the future," said Gallant.The Canadian government has committed to require 5 per cent average renewable content in Canadian gasoline and diesel fuel, such as ethanol and biodiesel, by 2010. GreenField's industrial and beverage alcohol subsidiaries continue to grow and increase market share adding a dimension to the company that provides stability and sustainable earnings. For more information about industrial and beverage alcohol please visit www.comalc.com. They will remain active under the name Commercial Alcohols. GreenField Ethanol can be found at more than 400 Sunoco gas stations across Ontario. The ethanol added this gasoline has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than one million tons since 1997. CAI's long-term partnership with Suncor (Sunoco) was the first major contract between an ethanol supplier and a major oil company in Canada and it paved the way for the renewable fuels industry in this country. The company's name change is effective immediately.
06.28.06 - As reviewed last week, Industrial ethanol marketers announced a July 1, 2006, price increase. We reported that both Archer Daniels Midland and Lyondell/Equistar announced a 25 cpg increase and Grain Processing Corporation announced 15 cpg. Now on board is Commercial Alcohols with a 25 cpg increase for both synthetic and fermentation ethanol, MGP Ingredients announced 15 cpg and Sasol announced 4 cents per pound (26.44 cpg) for anhydrous and 3.8 (25.82 cpg) cents per pound for 190 proof formulations. The other marketers, Alcochem and Vertical will move with the market.
Also, as discussed last week, the disparity is apparently linked to the April 1, 2006, industrial ethanol market increase, where all marketers, with the exception of Archer Daniels Midland, announced a price increase. Some companies pushed the increase through, while others chose to stay competitive with Archer Daniels Midland. They had offered six month price protection to many of their major customers in 2005 negotiations for 2006 business, so, they are in essence playing "catch-up" with the industry.
It looks like the plan is to get prices up 25 to 30 cpg above the January 2006 price, either is steps (April and July) or all at once in July.
We (Ethanol Market) have been surprised that level of the recent industrial market increases have not even been close to the fuel ethanol movements, as industrial ethanol will still be selling at a discount to fuel ethanol in many cases, and the market fundamentals strongly support a more significant price move. We have the industrial market upgrade cost at 35 cpg, which includes additional distillation and rectification, higher quality, moisture and odor specifications, denaturants and denaturing, terminal cost, sales marketing and administrative cost, not to mention higher distribution cost. With spot fuel ethanol trading over 400 cpg, it is very difficult to "just say no" with any excess anhydrous inventory. Accordingly, industrial anhydrous inventory will be tight for the rest of the summer. Perhaps the market wants to stay somewhat sane, and not encourage any non-traditional gallons from entering the market. Also, the marketers have always tried to distance themselves from any direct correlation to the fuel ethanol market. Either way, industrial ethanol is a bargain.
Lyondell/Equistar is still planning on total Tuscola, Illinois, ethanol plant outage in late July. The primary reason for the 30 to 35 day outage is a scheduled and planned inspection and maintenance of the ethylene pipeline. The 120 mile pipeline supplies ethylene from the company's 1.2 billion pound ethylene cracker in Morris, Illinois. The company will changeout the catalyst in one of their two trains, and scheduled general plant maintenance in Tuscola, Illinois. The industry is already suffering from very low inventory, and 30 to 35 day outage with a major player in the market will only exacerbate the situation.
06.07.06 - .Industrial ethanol marketers announced a July 1, 2006, price increase. As expected, several industrial ethanol producers have announced a price increase effective July 1, 2006. Both Archer Daniels Midland and Lyondell/Equistar announced a 25 cpg increase and Grain Processing Corporation announced 15 cpg. The disparity is apparently linked to the April 1, 2006, industrial ethanol market increase, where all marketers, with the exception of Archer Daniels Midland, announced a price increase. Some companies pushed the increase through, while others chose to stay competitive with Archer Daniels Midland. They had offered six month price protection to many of their major customers in 2005 negotiations for 2006 business, so, they are in essence playing "catch-up" with the industry. No word at press time regarding Sasol, Commercial Alcohol and MGP Ingredients. However, we (Ethanol Market) are quite surprised at the level of the increase, as industrial ethanol, on a net basis, will still be selling at a discount to fuel ethanol in many cases. We have the industrial market upgrade cost at 35 cpg, which includes additional distillation and rectification, higher quality, moisture and odor specifications, denaturants and denaturing, terminal cost, sales marketing and administrative cost, not to mention higher distribution cost. Many industrial contracts are negotiated on a "delivered" basis, freight pre-paid and allowed. Pre-paid and allowed contractual freight may not be a good idea, as freight surcharges are not passed through to the buyer, and any increases results in a lower net price to the marketer. Perhaps now is the time that the industry will consider an FOB producing plant pricing approach to the marketplace. This has always been a difficult concept, with the multiple shipping locations (Midwest, East Coast, Houston) and multiple sources of origin (United States fermentation and synthetic, United Kingdom ethylene synthetic, South African coal gasification ynthetic, Brazilian cane fermentation, and Canadian corn fermentation.
Bahrain synthetic ethanol
Mr. Ismail Malla, Managing Director of Green Power, WLL, has advised Ethanol Market that they plan on commissioning their industrial ethanol facility in Bahrain on June 25, 2006. Green Power, WLL, from the Kingdom of Bahrain, had previously awarded Vogelbusch with the supply of a skid mounted mol sieve dehydration unit, with a 120,000 ton annual capacity, which is in the 40 million gallon range. The plant is designed to process crude industrial ethanol (CIE) from the SADF facility in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and will offer anhydrous and 96% grades. Green Power is currently exploring sales opportunities throughout the world. Saudi Arabia Petrochemical Company (SADAF) is a 50%/50% joint venture with Shell Chemicals and Saudi Basic Industries (SABIC). The joint venture, based in Al Jubail, Saudi Aabia, produces ethylene, styrene, MTBE, caustic soda and crude industrial ethanol (CIE). The CIE capacity is 300,000 metric tons per year (100 million gallons). A significant portion of the CIE was originally marketed in the United States by Shell Chemical. This volume began to decrease, and the CIE was eventually marketed by Union Carbide. Dow purchased Union Carbide. Several years ago, Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) announced that effective January 1, 2005, ADM would acquire the interest of Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) in World Ethanol, a joint venture between ADM and UCC. UCC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dow. The agreement called for ADM and UCC to continue marketing industrial ethanol through World Ethanol during a two-year transition period. At the end of the two year transition period, Dow exited the industrial ethanol business.
05.08.06 - The United States Industrial ethanol market will continue face significant hurdles for the balance of the year. The obvious and real challenge concerns supply with regard to a rather strong and more profitable demand pull from the fuel ethanol market. Anhydrous ethanol can go out the door at into the fuel ethanol market the 250's and 260's FOB producing plant. This is higher than most net prices in the industrial market, not even including the Ethanol Market 35 cent per gallon upgrade cost for additional distillation, rectification, dehydration, denaturant, denaturing, terminal, transportation and administrative cost. Additionally, Brazilian players continue to be under pressure with high prices and demand in Brazil, and now the decreasing exchange rate. The exchange rate is now down to 2.07 (one US $ equals 2.07 Real). In early January 2006, one US $ equaled 2.35 Real. So, due to recent decreased demand, pricing has softened a bit in Brazil, but the decreasing exchange rate has increased the cost for export to the United States. This is a very real economic challenge for PFM (Coimex), Vertical and Alcochem. Futhermore, Sasol appears to be reducing imports into the United States as well. Also, we are starting to receive confirmations from the industrial market consumers that Equistar/Lyondell has advised them of a 30 to 35 day full plant outage in August, for a scheduled ethylene pipeline maintenance and inspection. Equistar receives ethylene, via a 120 mile pipeline from its Morris, Illinois, ethylene and polyethylene production facility. Polymers have been providing higher margins, so ethanol production has been at reduced rates for the past six months, further tightening supply/demand balances. Equistar just recently competed a catalyst changeout on one of its two ethanol trains. The combination of reduced imports, higher alternative values, and reduced production will challenge the industrial market for the balance of the year. We will follow this closely.
Market Update - March 28 2006 - Almost all producers are on board for a round of increases scheduled for April 1, 2006. In many cases, the industrial market has been selling at a discount to fuel ethanol during the five months, especially when adding in the extra cost associated with distilling, rectifying, denaturing, denaturants, distribution and terminal fees. The Ethanol Market reference upcharge for this is 35 cents per gallon, on a net basis. Producers on board for April 1, 2006 are: Sasol - 4 cents per pound (Synthetic)GPC - 15 cpg (Fermentation)MGPI - 15 cpg (Fermentation)Lyondell - 25 cpg (Synthetic)Commercial Alcohols - 15 cpg (Fermentation)Commercial Alcohols - 25 cpg (Synthetic) As reported last week, Sasol is implementing a conversion from billing in gallons, to billing in pounds, as virtually all of the other products they sell/market are sold on a per pound basis. The resulting conversion equals 26.44 cpg for 200 proof (anhydrous) formulations, and 27.90 cpg for 190 proof products. They also set list price levels of 50 cents per pound for 200 proof, and 47 cents per pound for 190 proof formulations. Additionally, they implemented an immediate 100% sales control allocation, and increased the minimum volumes, up to 1,000 gallons, for customer pick at their terminals in Carteret, NJ, and Wilmington, NC. Noticeably missing is Archer Daniel Midland (ADM), although there are ten days left in the month. A survey of the customer base indicates that it was not uncommon for major buyers to have six month price protection, and ADM may have a large portion of their business under contract, with price protection through June 30, 2006. They may be waiting for the third quarter. Meanwhile, the market remains tight, with anhydrous balances quite tight. The market influences supporting the increase will be in place for the rest of the year. They are an inverted value to fuel ethanol, high sugar prices and pressure on Brazilian imports, low inventory and high demand. Although natural gas prices have settled recently, futures prices this winter are near $11MMBtu.

02.02.06 - Leandro Carboni, Business Manager, Solvent & C4 Specialties, with Lyndell Chemical, has announced that Brian Griffin has accepted the position of Marketing Manager, Brake Fluids and Ethanol. Brian will be replacing Jim Thompson who, as previously announced, has accepted the position of Marketing Manager - Styrene & Aromatics. Brian received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Mississippi State University and a MBA from the University of Houston. Brian has recently been the Lead Business Consultant for EO/EG, C4, and Styrene but also brings a background in Supply and Operations Planning which will be valuable in the management of the business. Lyondell owns and operates a 50 million gallon synthetic ethanol plant in Tuscola, Illinois.01.19.06 - Here we go again! The United States indsutrial ethanol market, in many cases, on a net basis, is selling at a discount to fuel ethanol. For a full analysis, please subscribe to the Ethanol Market Weekly News and Market Report for full details. The Ethanol Market industrial ethanol price premium is 35 cents per gallon, just to cover the increased production, denaturants, denaturing, distribution and marketing costs.
01.07.06 - MGP Ingredients announced a price increase for 190 and 200 proof industrial ethanol formulations, effective January 1, 2006. The other major market particiapants previously announced increases effective eteiher December 1, 2005 or January 1, 2006. Please subscribe to the Ethanol Market Weekly News and Market Report for full details
11.30.05 - On October 1, 2005, Grain Processing Corporation announced an increase on all off-schedule prices for 190 and 200 proof pure and denatured ethyl alcohol formulations by $0.35 per gallon, not to exceed current list prices. Also at that time, a $.15 per gallon temporary voluntary allowance (TVA) was placed in effect. Effective January 1, 2006, GPC will remove the temporary voluntary allowance (TVA) of $.15 per gallon and raise all off-schedule prices for 190 proof pure and denatured ethyl alcohol formulations by an additional $.05 per gallon. Thus in net affect, the prices for all off-schedule 190 proof pure and denatured ethyl alcohol formulations will rise by $.20 per gallon. Also effective January 1, 2006, GPC will remove the temporary voluntary allowance (TVA) of $.15 per gallon and raise all off-schedule prices for anhydrous pure and denatured ethyl alcohol formulations by $.10 per gallon. In net affect, GPC prices for all off-schedule anhydrous pure and denatured ethyl alcohol formulations will rise by $.25 per gallon. The new list prices relect the $.25 per gallon differential between 190 proof and 200 proof (Anhydrous) formulations.
11.15.05 - Strong demand and tight supplies will continue throughout the rest of Q4 2005, and into Q1/Q2 2006. Anhydrous product is especially tight.
10.20.05 - a major industrial ethanol supplier is having some minor ethanol production difficulties, further straining an already tight supply/demand balance. Anhydrous industrial ethanol inventory is very tight. Most, if not all, industrial ethanol suppliers are on sales control. Spot industrial ethanol is difficult to find.
10.05.05 - $.20 to $.25 per gallon industrial ethanol price increase implemented, or as allowed by contract. Supply/Demand balances are tight.
09.18.05 - All major players are now on board for an October industrial ethanol price increase. Subscribe to the EthanolMarket.com, Weekly News and Market Report, for full details and analysis.
09.05.05 - A major industrial ethanol producer has advised its customers that there will be an industrial ethanol market price increase effective October 1, 2005. The company cited increased energy cost, particularly natural gas, increased denaturant cost and escalating transportation cost. The company also announced an industrial ethanol market sales control plan. For full details on this announcement, and other industrial ethanol market information, developing news and breaking information, please subscribe to the EthanolMarket.com, Weekly News and Market Report, which is published 52 weeks per year.
08.30.05 - The exploding fuel ethanol market, combined with increased natural gas and transportation cost, will provide fundemental support for a significant industrial ethanol market price increase in the next 15 to 30 days. Spot fuel ethanol, rack fuel ethanol and some contract prices are significantly higher than many industrial ethanol accounts. Natural gas prices alone provide a frim cost push for industrial ethanol market prices. Natural gas near month futures prices have been trading in the $10 to $11MMBtu range. Please contact EthanolMarket.com, for more information regarding the North American Industrial Ethanol Market Multiclient Study.
08.06.05 - Midwest Grain Products Ingredients (MGPI) announced today that its income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, which ended June 30, will be lower than expected, and that earnings for the entire year likely will be between $0.24 and $0.26 per share. This compares to the company's most recently issued guidance of $0.35 to $0.40 per share. According to Ladd Seaberg, president and chief executive officer, the company missed its guidance because the fourth quarter performance was adversely affected by a combination of factors, primarily higher energy costs, lower than anticipated fuel grade alcohol prices, lower than expected sales of specialty food ingredients and increased sales of lower valued commodity wheat gluten, which, due to market conditions, was sold below cost. "The higher energy costs in the fourth quarter resulted from a higher than expected increase in natural gas prices," Seaberg said. "Also, the softness in fuel alcohol prices was more severe than what had been factored into our guidance, which we revised early in the quarter. Although natural gas prices have risen since the end of the quarter, selling prices for fuel alcohol have increased even more substantially and should contribute to an improved performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Specialty ingredient sales are also showing signs of improvement and, as a result, the effect of sales in our commodity gluten area should be less of a factor in the current quarter." Although the company has deemphasized gluten sales in recent years because of market conditions, gluten remains a co-product from the processing of flour in the manufacture of wheat starch. Seaberg explained, "we use gluten to make our specialty proteins. Because our sales of specialty proteins lagged behind our starch sales, we had excess gluten which we had to sell at market prices below our costs." Seaberg added that "one of our primary goals is to continue to strengthen our capabilities and develop new opportunities for converting as much gluten as feasible into innovative, value-added specialty protein ingredients. Despite what we experienced in the fourth quarter, we continue to make significant progress toward this goal." As previously announced, the company plans to issue its fourth quarter and fiscal year-end results prior to the market's opening on August 16. Additional details about the quarter's performance will be included in the release and discussed in a conference call which the company has scheduled for 10 a.m. central time that day. Stockholders and other interested persons may listen to the conference call via telephone by dialing 800-322-0079 by 9:50 a.m. central time August 16.
07.07.05 - Industrial ethanol prices have settled after a recent round of decreases and adjustments. Meanwhile, the fuel ethanol market surge has resulted in some industrial ethanol accounts with lower net prices than current spot and rack fuel ethanol prices.
06.30.05 - The industrial market seems to be in a defensive mode, trying to maintain exposure with long time customers at comparably attractive numbers. The problem, as we see it, is that the market was ripe for cherry picking and many new potential entrants were sniffing around for some low hanging fruit. Well, as some movement developed in the industrial market, 5 to 10 cents, or more in some cases, or not at all in other cases, the fuel market started to move up. The industrial market is indeed controlled by the supply and demand influences of high quality, consistent, low odor material, and not the fuel ethanol market dynamics. Market moves will be monitored with more emphasis on net numbers. The industrial market is typically sold on a delivered basis, freight pre-paid and allowed. The industrial market adjustments may have been contract driven, and were negotiated many months ago, with the July kicker. Also, the market may be seeking a common level, as the increases of late 2004 brought about a great deal of disparity, even at single accounts. As they say in New York, this aberration was brought on by market dynamics, and we can expect a correction in the near future. Additionally, it takes at least $.35 per gallon of extra cost throughout the entire system to supply and support industrial ethanol customers. So, here we are, where many producers do not want to be, with some net fuel ethanol numbers coming in above net industrial ethanol prices, especially now with rack numbers prices in the 170's and low 180's. What does this mean? The market dynamics will reverse, and there will be strong fundamental support for an industrial ethanol market increase, perhaps October 1, 2005, or earlier.
06.14.05 - The industrial ethanol market appears to be relatively balanced, with ample inventory to meet demand. Some product substituion has occured, with ethanol replacing IPA.
05.23.05 - For a full industrial ethanol market analysis, please subscribe to the EthanolMarket.com, Weekly News and Market Report.
04.09.05 - The industrial ethanol market remains in balance, with demand holding strong. Due to the wild ride last year, most of the volume is contracted for the year, and the spot market is relatively light. As expected, the high prices have attracted some Brazilian imports, with at least three world traders establishing a foothold into the United States. On the balance sheet, some of these gallons are replacing the BP reduction, the Aventine withdrawal, and a slight reduction in Lyondell gallons, and last year, some fermentation gallons that snuck into the fuel ethanol market. Anhydrous gallons are still tight, with very little overhang available to soften thing up. On the supply side, there has been some interesting activity during the past several months. At least three Brazilian companies have established a presence in the United States. Last year, industrial market prices were high in the United States, and the market was short. This year, the market seems to be in balance, but the market in Brazil has changed. Ethanol costs have increased, primarily due to the significant increase in Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV), which can run on 100% ethanol, or 100% gasoline, or an ethanol/gasoline blend. The wild popularity of the FFV in Brazil has been fueled by high crude and gasoline prices. The consumer has a choice in Brazil. The choice is made at the pump. With gasoline prices sky high, 100% ethanol has become a viable alternative, and both demand and prices have increased. Over 50,000 FFV's were sold in March alone, nearly double the previous year and up from over 31,000 the previous month. March 2005 FFV sales of over 50,000 units represented nearly 37% of vehicles sold. In 2003, FFV's sales totaled 48,000 units, and then increased to 329,000 units in 2004. As a result of the significant increase in demand, ethanol prices have increased, which may be pressuring exports to the United States. Any forward pricing deals are probably under pressure. Meanwhile, export demand to other parts of the world has been active. Also, industrial and beverage ethanol exports from the United States have been active. Not a huge amount, but a consistent number of inquiries and shipments have been seen during the last several months, which is adding activity to anhydrous gallons. Also, a fair amount of material has been going to the EU, and this may be reduced in the near future. Some these gallons had aggressively attacked the some of the industrial ethanol market. Also, export demand to India is picking up, as a mandated ethanol program is drawing some high purity material into the fuel ethanol market. These are not huge developments, but it is something we will watch over the summer. Also, product substitution, ethanol for IPA, is starting to occur, as the long run of high propylene and propylene derivative pricing continues. As a result of these, and other market influences, the market could see some push from lower end, and some pull at the upper end as we move into summer. Overall, the market will remain relatively in balance, as long as there is not significant interruptions or outages. Increased exports could put pressure on supplies, especially anhydrous, as the year develops. IPA substitution could be a factor. The important thing to remember is that currently, the industrial ethanol market is controlled by the fundamentals in the industrial market, and any influence from the fuel ethanol market is more emotional, without fundamental support.
03.15.05 - Industrial ethanol markets remain quite stable, and are not being directly influenced by the weak, over supplied fuel ethanol market. The new fuel ethanol plants coming on stream, are 100% fuel ethanol, without capacity to upgrade to industrial market quality.
03.05.05 - Anhydrous supply remains tight. Export interest from the United States to Europe, seems to be picking up, especially for high quality material.
02.10.05 - Brazilian ethanol pushing into the United States ethanol market, drawn by high prices and tight supply/demand balances. For a full review, please subcribe to the EthanolMarket.com, Weekly News and Market Report

12.10.04 - Several industrial ethanol market producers have announced ethanol price increases ranging from $.15 to $.25 per gallon effective January 1, 2005. The market still remains is short supply.

Homeowners could be sued over Trayvon Martin slaying

Homeowners could be sued over Trayvon Martin slaying
Retreat at Twin Lakes' homeowners will likely be sued if their crime-watch program captain, George Zimmerman, gets charged with and convicted of killing of Trayvon Martin, experts say.
The Orlando Sentinel
ORLANDO, Fla. — The people who could end up paying the financial price for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin are, ultimately, the homeowners of the Retreat at Twin Lakes development in Sanford, Fla., experts say.
If their crime-watch program captain George Zimmerman is charged with and convicted of killing Martin, 17, the community's homeowner association and property-management company will likely be sued by the victim's family regarding the way the watch program was established and operated, said Donna Berger, a lawyer who specializes in homeowner-association law.
"Who will pay is every member of the association, and they will have to make special assessments. ... It's a cautionary tale for other associations."
The 6-year-old Retreat at Twin Lakes contains about 200 two-story town homes. The president of the homeowner association and other board members did not comment. The community's property-management company also did not comment.
The case has caused a nationwide furor over race and the laws of self-defense. Martin was shot to death by Zimmerman in Sanford on Feb. 26 as the unarmed black teenager was walking back from a convenience store.
Zimmerman, whose father is white and whose mother is Hispanic, has claimed self-defense, saying he opened fire after Martin punched him in the face, knocked him to the ground and began slamming his head on the sidewalk.
Black leaders and others are demanding Zimmerman's arrest on murder or manslaughter charges; state and federal authorities are still investigating.
Zimmerman was the point person for the Retreat at Twin Lakes' neighborhood watch.
DeBary, Fla., resident Jan Bergemann, who operates a homeowner-association watchdog group called Cyber Citizens for Justice, said Retreat at Twin Lakes' association should have issued guidelines that warned crime-watch members against arming themselves when doing anything that might be considered the business of the watch program: "If you don't put out guidelines, you are in deep doo-doo if something happens."
Legal judgments and settlements against an association's board members and directors are usually covered by an errors-and-omissions insurance policy, but the community's crime-watch program would not be covered because it's more of a neighborhood committee, Bergemann added.
Material from The Associated Press is included in this report.

Zimmerman should pay, not the home owners. The homeowers had nothing to do with the death of this young boy.
|Mon, 04-02-2012 - 11:47am
>"In Florida, Zimmerman shifted his plans, enrolling in Seminole State College with hopes of becoming a law enforcement officer. He became the self-appointed protector of the streets around his home, although his neighborhood watch organization was not officially registered. He called the police department at least 46 times since 2004 to report everything from open garages to suspicious people. In 2005, according to police records obtained by the Orlando Sentinel and other news organizations, Zimmerman was twice accused of either criminal misconduct or violence. He had a concealed-weapon permit and had a black Kel-Tec semiautomatic handgun and a holster the night Martin died.<"
Segment from page 2 of..........
Who is George Zimmerman?
|Mon, 04-02-2012 - 11:32am
Was Zimmerman voted "captain" or did he volunteer? Did the homeowners know what/who they'd given this position?
IMO He was overly zealous & got a kick out of "being in charge". (Consider the numerous 911 calls he'd made. 48 if I recall correctly.)
