Traditional Cape Cod views are inching closer to a little exterior remodeling. The Cape Cod Wind Farm Project, which has been paralyzed in a heated debate between numerous advocates and a few notable protesters, is soon to win the added support of the Bush administration. With this increase in federal backing, the project has reached the point at which talk must end and action must start. Given that the project has been proven to provide a substantial amount of energy with limited environmental impact, the proposal put forth by Cape Wind, the company that would build this wind farm...
...rivers" statement, it is true that the government has introduced the nem:ba Act, in which the Federation of Southern African Flyfishers has been involved on a consultative basis.

It boasts, for starters, an "Army's Army" of 900 civilian volunteers who help families with everything from flat tires to job placement. Sergeant Daniel Gobbel, who recently moved here from Fort Bliss, Texas, with his wife and daughters, says he appreciates the support the troops decals in storefronts and the way people thank...
...Navy officials say the Sirius Star, whose maiden voyage was in March, had planned to avoid the Gulf of Aden altogether and sail around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope rather than through the Suez Canal Zone, as its owners wanted to avoid an encounter with the pirates. "That is the scary part," says Cyrus Mody, manager at the International Maritime Bureau. "What exactly are [the pirates] doing so far south? If they are thinking of expanding their sphere of operations to such great distance, it is going to become an absolutely humongous task to get this thing under...
