SAN DIEGO, CA, April 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) When it comes to running a successful business over decades, passion is everything. At The Meat Factory, passion is no short supply. Whether it's supporting the community, its employees, progress in the realm of food safety, or Canada's agriculture industry, TMF is a company that is not content to do things half-heartedly. That passion is one of many traits that have served to cement the company as one of Canada's top food manufacturers.

"We derive our livelihood from Canada and Canadian products, and we also have to be cognizant of the farmers and everyone else who produces food in this country," says Lou Albanese, founder of TMF Foods. "We could be the suppliers of the world. So it's important to us that we keep our supply chain alive and well, and we try to support it as much as we can within the Canadian industry. We have to support them - if we don't, we won't have an industry, and then where are we going to be? It's got to continue to grow."

Duck-billed dinosaurs endured long, dark polar winters

2012-04-13

The researchers published their findings, "Hadrosaurs Were Perennial Polar Residents," in the April issue of the journal The Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology.

New technology tracks sparrow migration for first time from California to Alaska

2012-04-13

Using tiny tags to track a bird's location, biologists from PRBO Conservation Science (PRBO) have unlocked the mystery of where Golden-crowned Sparrows, which overwinter in California, go to breed in the spring. Published this week in the journal PLoS ONE, the study reveals for the first time the exact migration route of this small songbird to its breeding sites in coastal Alaska. During a time when birds are experiencing the negative impacts of climate and land-use changes, being able to pinpoint the most important breeding and stopover places is critical to prioritizing ...

Ocean acidification linked to larval oyster failure

2012-04-13

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Researchers at Oregon State University have definitively linked an increase in ocean acidification to the collapse of oyster seed production at a commercial oyster hatchery in Oregon, where larval growth had declined to a level considered by the owners to be "non-economically viable." A study by the researchers found that elevated seawater carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, resulting in more corrosive ocean water, inhibited the larval oysters from developing their shells and growing at a pace that would make commercial production cost-effective. As atmospheric ...

New method to prevent undersea ice clogs

2012-04-13

During the massive oil spill from the ruptured Deepwater Horizon well in 2010, it seemed at first like there might be a quick fix: a containment dome lowered onto the broken pipe to capture the flow so it could be pumped to the surface and disposed of properly. But that attempt quickly failed, because the dome almost instantly became clogged with frozen methane hydrate. Methane hydrates, which can freeze upon contact with cold water in the deep ocean, are a chronic problem for deep-sea oil and gas wells. Sometimes these frozen hydrates form inside the well casing, where ...
