Bureau insists Aurora contract legal - Rep. John Salazar, Lower Ark District still question using Fry-Ark Project to export water from valley

he Bureau of Reclamation responded, in part, Monday to questions of whether it has the authority to use the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project to move water out of the Arkansas Valley.

Questions of Reclamation's authority have surfaced again in recent months as talks progress on a proposed storage and exchange contract with Aurora.

"Aurora is not being provided project water. This proposed contract will provide storage and exchange of Aurora's non-project water when there is excess capacity available," said Fred Ore, Eastern Colorado area manager for Reclamation.

Russian imports driving crab prices way down

SEATTLE. The Costco king-crab legs are thick and meaty. But the real lure is the price: At $10.99 per pound, they are a quick sell to holiday-season shoppers.

Puget Sound crabbers used to make fortunes hauling in such gourmet fare from the treacherous waters off Alaska.

The crabs on display at Costco, though, are price-cutting Russian offerings from the distant Barents Sea, where a Soviet-era experiment to transplant the king crabs has turned into a booming 21st-century harvest.

These Russian kings are much bigger, on average, than their Alaskan counterparts. And the jumbo legs are flooding into American markets, creating bargains for seafood lovers and stirring anger among U.S. crabbers.

January-September drug exports up 50 percent - Pharmaceutical exports to the US rose 72% to $1.84 billion

Israel's pharmaceutical exports rose 50 percent in January-September 2006 to $2.27 billion. Pharmaceutical exports to the US rose 72 percent to $1.84 billion.

The US is the main market where Israeli generic drug companies, headed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq: TEVA; TASE: TEVA), compete against US ethical drug companies. Manufacturers Association of Israel Chemical & Pharmaceutical society chairman and Teva VP Chaim Hurvitz said pharmaceutical exports to the EU fell 3 percent to $300 million.
