State of Ocean Cargo: Cutting through the fog
By Patrick Burnson · June 6, 2016

Time once again to examine the Jones Act
By Patrick Burnson · October 12, 2015
With the sinking of the El Faro last week, and the resulting deaths of its entire crew of 33, the viability of the Jones Act is again being called into question.
2015 Quest for Quality: Ocean Carriers finding calmer waters
By LM Staff · August 1, 2015
As Executive Editor Patrick Burnson has been reporting over the last few years, the ocean shipping industry has been navigating tumultuous waters as shippers have worked diligently to control costs at the same time that trade has witnessed a spotty recovery in the face of global financial troubles.
Transportation Best Practices: Carriers use "game theory" to gain strategic advantage
By Patrick Burnson · March 1, 2015
Ocean cargo carriers vying for market share and sustainable profits are using a variety of methods to get the upper hand this year. Analysts say that while some are leveraging partnerships, others are wagering on reliability to trump that play. Shippers, meanwhile, are hoping that it will all amount to more than just zero-sum.
National maritime strategy gains support
By Patrick Burnson · September 18, 2014

Complacency is not an option for U.S. ports
By Patrick Burnson · April 9, 2014
With the Panama canal expansion meeting its deadline in late 2015, shippers are busy determining which gateways would best serve their future needs. But even more strategic complexity has been introduced this year with consolidation of ocean carrier services. Rather than whistling in the dark, the leading ocean cargo gateways are keeping their guard up.
Ocean carriers return to core competencies
By Patrick Burnson · October 10, 2013
According to analysts with Drewry Maritime Resarch, ocean cargo container lines are still being squeezed out of providing "home-grown" integrated logistics services. This is evidenced by Maersk's news last month that it has entered into an agreement to sell the assets of its U.S. trucking subsidiary Bridge Terminal Transport, analysts add.
Quest for Quality Ocean Carriers: Finding success on the high seas
By LM Staff · August 1, 2013
As executive Editor Patrick Burnson documents in this month's Special Report, the business dynamics of ocean shipping continue to change for carriers as global supply chain practices become more strategic—putting pressure on those shippers looking to coordinate more modes in new regions around the world.

Something To Brag About Lyrics
Artist: Charlie Louvin
Album: Something To Brag About
I've got a real important job in a large office building
Ridin' people in an elevator
I drive a '57 Chevrolet with busted tail lights
Burnt out valves and leaky radiator
I wear a twenty dollar suit I bought from JC Penny's back in '62
But I've got something to brag about something to brag about
Yes something to brag about in you
I'm a short order cook at an all night cafe
Down on 18th Avenue and 12th Street
I wear a swinging mini dress that I made for myself
From mama's kitchen curtains and old bed sheets
I've got seventeen pages of top value stamps and one old pair of shoes
But I've got something to brag about something to brag about
Something to brag about in you
When you're with the fellas I know you start to bragging
Bout my hour glass figure and my big brown eyes
You tell your girlfriends bout my good good lovin'
And that's one pleasure that money can't buy
Let's get married in the not too distant future
We'll rent a little flat on 29th Street
You know we'll hang our washing on a clothesline from the window
We'll feast on cornbread butter beans and lunchmeat
We won't have a thermostat or a big long Cadillac
But we'll have a love that's true
And I'll have something to brag about I'll have something to brag about
Something to brag about in you

Sony VAIO CW1S1E notebook
Sony's VAIO CW1S1E sits smack in the middle of the company's laptop range, offering impressive value for money without compromising on features or style. With a 14-inch screen and weighing 2.3kg, it's slightly larger than Sony's ultra-portable laptops, but it offers better usability as a result.
The screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, which is average at this price point. Images are crisp, and LED backlighting offers bright and vivid colour reproduction. That said, it was possible to see the individual LEDs at the bottom of the display on our review sample – which affected colours and also proved distracting.
The design is attractive and cohesive, with a range of bright colours on offer. The palm rest stands higher than the rest of the chassis, giving this machine an individual appearance, and is the same colour as the lid – including deep red, blue, black and light pink. The area surrounding the keyboard is a slightly more subtle colour – from light pink on some models, to black.
Identical in style to most recent VAIO keyboards, the CW's chicklet style board offers a decent and comfortable typing action. There's plenty of space between each of the keys, and it's a responsive and firmly attached interface. The touchpad is larger than many of those found on rival laptops, offering a precise way of navigation, and the mouse buttons are also large and comfortable.
The Nvidia GeForce GT 230M graphics card is a surprise inclusion in a machine of this size, giving the compact Sony serious 3D power. With the relatively low screen resolution, it means that even the latest games will run without issue, along with regular home and office applications. As a result, you'll be able to use the VAIO CW as your sole PC.
Office performance is equally adept, with a mid-range 2.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 processor in place. It's backed by 4096MB of DDR3 memory, and we found this an excellent machine to carry out office work or run a host of applications simultaneously. The 320GB hard drive offers more than enough space for most music and photo collections.
There are a trio of USB ports for adding peripherals, with two on the left-hand side of the chassis, and one on the right. Other ports include VGA and HDMI, offering connectivity for analogue and digital displays. As with most other VAIO models, there are two card readers on the front of the chassis, supporting Sony's Memory Stick and SD formats. 802.11n Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet provide decent networking options, but it's a shame to see 3G/HSDPA omitted.
The VAIO CW may not be Sony's most desirable laptop, but that doesn't stop it from being a great choice. The combination of size and power make it an ideal machine for all types of user, and that it's just at home on the commute, in the living room or in the office is testament to just how good an all-rounder it is.

When it comes to cloud computing, the ability to turn massive amounts of compute cores on and off on demand sounds attractive to IT staff, who need to manage peaks and valleys in user activity. With cloud bursting, the majority of the data can stay on premises while tapping into compute from public cloud providers, reducing risk and minimizing need to move large files.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Automotive company owners voice concerns about Miguel's comment
Crestwood alderman compares Watson Road to South Kingshighway
Kari Williams
Staff Reporter
March 20, 2013 -
Independent automotive company owners on Watson Road took offense to a Crestwood alderman recently comparing their street to South Kingshighway.
Ward 3 Alderman Jerry Miguel made the comment at a recent city Sign Commission meeting. Miguel told the Call he was relaying "comments that had been conveyed to me by other people."
Larry Sturm, owner/operator of A to Z Auto Center, 9044 Watson Road, said Miguel pointed out that there are "too many automotive repair shops."
"He wants to clean up the act and make sure that I'm not seen ," Sturm said. "I need to have additional signage so people can see my business. Why this alderman decided to show up to the (Sign Commission) meeting and make a special show to say that I had too much signage or bully the committee into saying they should not allow me to have my signage, I don't understand that."
Sturm said when he first opened his business, he had to move his sign 30 feet back from the street. He also said foliage in front of the building hides his business and remodeling that was completed over the past two years cost $8,000 to $10,000 more than planned.
"I would be glad to discuss any of these experiences with any committee or any of you," Sturm told the Board of Aldermen last week. "But my one primary concern with Crestwood is the ability for one alderman to create his own separate agenda to personally attack my industry and bully Crestwood employees (and) committee members."
Jay Wiseman, owner/operator of Ernie Patti Auto Leasing & Sales, 9070 Watson Road, said he wants to keep his business in Crestwood, but acknowledged he was "seriously considering moving from Crestwood."
"We're not asking for harassment. We're not asking for outlandish statements," Wiseman said. "I'm an independent business man. I'm very, very lucky to do that and all we (independent business owners) want to do is make a living, live in our city, some of us, work in your city, most of us, and just have the American dream. That's what we want. But we can't have it with our hands held and we can't have it with statements like that ..."
In response to the comments at the March 12 board meeting, Miguel told the Call the business owners "expressed their opinion and they're certainly entitled to that."
"They expressed their side of the story," Miguel said.
Sturm, who suggested the city create a welcoming committee for new and existing businesses, also said he is concerned he "cannot compete with one arm tied."
"At times, that's how I feel," Sturm said. "As a sole, independent business, I have found it hard to comply with many of your cookie-cutter rules for large franchise(s) "
Mayor Jeff Schlink said though Sturm's idea is "good conceptually," he would not want businesses to ask for the city for assistance or support it cannot provide.
"I think that we don't want to put a committee together just for the sake of putting a welcoming committee together," he said, "but maybe you can come up with some ideas as to what some of those services are or how we could streamline things and maybe we could partnership together to improve the process and to help ensure that folks feel as if they're getting a fair shake."
Wiseman said small businesses are the "linchpin" of Crestwood's community.
"There's a lot of us that don't feel that you're very business friendly, myself especially," Wiseman said. "If a small business can't get the support and the backing from your mayor and your board, how do you expect someone to come into [Crestwood Court]? How are you going to welcome someone when you're not welcoming us?"
Wiseman said at one point he put cars on green space between his business and Watson Road and was told not to do that, though he duplicated the act because he sold cars the first time he put them on the green space.
"What I didn't like was the series of events that happened with that," Wiseman said. "The phone calls, the harassment "
Schlink said the city's code enforcement officers are "asked to enforce the code that we have," even if the timing and frequency "might not ever be perfect for somebody."
"You mentioned kind of harassment, being picked on, things of that nature, and I certainly respect that," he said. "But it's really — they're doing their job. So maybe we need to step back and take a different approach to it because you're not asking them to not do their job We just need to take maybe a closer look at what we're asking you to do and the rules we're asking you to follow."

SPRINGDALE, Washington County — A woman fell to her death Saturday after her parachute malfunctioned during a BASE jump in Zion National Park, officials said.
Park spokeswoman Aly Baltrus said the woman, identified only as in her mid-30s, was attempting to BASE jump off of Mount Kinesava around 2:30 p.m. when her parachute failed to open. The woman was with another person, who hiked down off the mountain and alerted park personnel around 6:30 p.m.
Baltrus said the height of the fall is approximately 1,500 feet. BASE jumping is not allowed in the park and the incident is the park's first BASE jumping fatality, Baltrus said.
She said officials are not sure of the location of the woman's body and plan to launch a helicopter-assisted search Sunday morning.
"Since it's a confirmed fatality we are not going to try a night rescue," Baltrus said.
More information will be provided as it becomes available.
