What is "Republican" in 2008?: I find it fascinating and curious that the political parties morph under intense pressures to become organizations drifting far from their ideals. The personality of the Republican Party that I understood and respected is simply not there now. The party lost its way while not ...

Getting back on our feet: Thanks for this timely look at the key planning need in our area. Of the many components, all of them important, one planning element that constantly surfaces for me is captured in this sentence: "Economic losses are largely determined by how fast a damaged, modern ...

Hemispheric Cooling?: Referencing earlier work by Peter Clark at the nearby OSU, it may be that very different contingencies might be considered, like moving south?
