...going off the grid isn't as simple as unplugging your television. The grid isn't just electricity but water, heat, waste management - even your cable signal. And then there's the gas that powers your car, the government-funded roads you drive on and the air in which you fly. That's where Black comes in. He has just written a book called Living Off the Grid, a practical guide to weaning yourself off the electrical milk of modern life. To Black, the benefits of going gridless aren't just about the environment - though with electricity responsible for about...

...conserve, conserve, conserve. Most of us waste electricity in a hundred ways, both small (leaving our appliances plugged in and drawing a subtle charge) and large (holding on to energy-wasting appliances and lightbulbs). Reduce that waste by purchasing more-efficient appliances and tightening up insulation to avoid heat loss from your home, and you're already decreasing your dependence on the grid. "Those things will significantly reduce your bills and you'll [still] be able to lead a fairly comparable lifestyle," says Black...

A New York Times survey found that people who changed their views on Obama were twice as likely to say they had grown more favorable, not less; those who now saw McCain differently were...

Obama looks to be in a statistical dead heat with McCain in the district (just as the Democratic challenger in the 25th, Joe Garcia, is neck-and-neck with the Cuban-American GOP incumbent, Mario Diaz-Balart). The key is how many Cuban-Americans Obama can poach from the GOP; and Obama volunteer Jose Realin thinks he can deliver them. Realin, 38, a bail bondsman and a lifelong registered Republican now on the Democrat's side, was heading out of the Obama campaign office in the 25th on Monday evening to knock on doors in Cuban neighborhoods. "They worry that...

...Despite Indiana's presidential voting record, it's hard to predict the outcome of this year's race, which right now looks like a virtual dead heat in the polls. Much of it will depend on how much both slates of candidates can get their supporters to actually show up at the polls. That's why on a recent Wednesday night, Chuck Stouder, a 58-year-old RV plant worker, walked from house to house in a leafy, Elkhart County subdivision. His target: Democrats, and voters who had yet to choose a presidential candidate. Some folks didn't bother opening...
