...along the entire Louisiana coast. I'm thrilled to report that over the last year, the Corps has gently applied the brakes to those plans. That won't save the coast from Gustav; the storm is coming so soon after Katrina that there isn't much else to do except hope it weakens or misses. But over the next year, decisions about the coast could determine whether southern Louisiana can be sustainable, or whether the Katrinas and Gustavs of the future will obliterate it. "We're still vulnerable, no question about it," says John Lopez, director of coastal sustainability...
...know, I can't think of anything. Except here in Alaska my family is a microcosm of so much of Alaska. My husband is a commercial fisherman. He also works up in the north slopes in the oil fields. I'm the first female governor in Alaska, so that's brought with it kind of a whole new chapter in Alaska's life.

Though I didn't touch the dirt on these vineyards, my impression is that it's more a matter of finding the right grape for your climate. (Michigan's riesling was one of my favorites...
...from Connecticut who served as Al Gore's running mate in 2000. Picking Lieberman, however, would be a huge gamble for McCain. Social conservatives, having only recently come to terms with McCain himself, would loudly oppose the selection of a pro-choice New Englander who, on nearly every issue except national security, is a lifelong liberal, including the issue of abortion. Some might walk out of the convention or turn their backs on Lieberman when he speaks. And while picking Lieberman might remind swing voters of McCain's reputation for independence and bipartisanship, a rebellion from within the GOP base...
