...these are unconventional sources--low-permeability gas sands, shale gas, coal-bed methane," says Peter Dea, CEO of Western Gas Resources, a Denver-based gas producer. Longer term, more supplies are on the way. The U.S. Interior Department last week opened for exploration 389,000 acres of Alaskan tundra and shoreline, which officials estimate may contain 3.5 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas. Yet that's a pittance compared with the 22.3 trillion cu. ft. that the U.S. consumed in 2004. And two projects to transport gas from Alaska's North Slope and Canadian territories are in the works...
Siberia, 1919. Enter, staggering across the tundra, a half-starved revolutionary escaped from a Russian prison camp.

Perhaps the best tradition, among the many, in Titletown is the bike ride. Every year on the first day of training camp, local kids ride their bicycles to the practice field, and each player adopts a girl or boy, whose bike he rides from the field to the locker room for the rest of the year. (Some Cowboys apparently have a similar tradition involving "self-employed models...
