Alaskan Living: President Jimmy Carter In Alaska

Alaskan Living: President Jimmy Carter In Alaska: "President Jimmy Carter In Alaska

I was invited to a luncheon today in Anchorage with President Jimmy Carter to honor the 25th anniversary of the passage of ANILCA, the Alaska National Interest Land Conservation Act. It was the last piece of legislation President Carter signed before leaving office, and he considers it his greatest legacy to America. (The photo at the left is me shaking Carter's hand--not exactly shot at what they call 'the decisive moment'.)"

A funny picture and a great article about Carter and ANILCA.

RedNova News - Science - Barbs Fly in Debate Over Gas Line Route

RedNova News - Science - Barbs Fly in Debate Over Gas Line Route: "Barbs Fly in Debate Over Gas Line Route

An oil company executive touting a gas pipeline through Canada to the Lower 48 took aim to proponents of an allAlaska pipeline. The barbs were soon flying right back.

At stake is a fortune in natural gas revenues from stranded gas deposits beneath Alaska'a North Slope, which are sorely needed in domestic markets and particularly in Southcentral Alaska."

Chef Shane on Seafood Blog

Chef Shane on Seafood Blog: "Get Alaskan Seafood Shipped Directly from Valdez, Alaska!

Hi all,

The main seafood processor here in Valdez, AK now sells seafood directly to the public. After talking with them and doing some research online, I think I can offer you Alaskan seafood at a substantial savings over what other online retailers are selling for. I'm basically giving you a chance to buy at my cost plus a small handling fee for my time."

Alaskan seafood delivered to the door! I'm sure there are plenty of places that offer this service, but I trust this guy and he is posting from Valdez! Go Chef Shane!
