Global warming threat to Northwest salmon stocks
A forthcoming report by the Pacific Biological Station warns that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide could heat the North Pacific by about 2 degrees Celsius by 2070, shrinking cold water zones by half in summer and risking survival of salmon. The study, using 40 years of research and Mathsoft Plus software, suggests warmer oceans may force salmon to migrate to the Bering Sea and could bolster Canadian plans to cut Pacific salmon boats by one third, risking thousands of jobs to protect a $530 million industry.

Tax traps in mutual fund distributions and reinvestment
Tax rules on mutual fund distributions vary by type and bracket up to 38 percent for ordinary income and 28 percent for long-term capital gains. Investors should keep Form 1099s and track cost basis, as reinvested distributions reallocate basis and affect future tax when shares are sold. An example shows a $10,000 investment with a $2 per share distribution reinvested at $8, preserving value while expanding share count.
