Auf Wiedersehen, Cornyn!
Auf Wiedersehen, Cornyn! Rick Noriega has a good chance of unseating Sen. John Cornyn come November. How do I know? I figure that if censors at Allen ISD can fail to spot pictures of naked women in their German textbook Deutsch Aktuell after four years, Noriega has a shot. “Oh, it was obvious,” said Desiree Sabik, the mother of the Allen student who discovered the photos. “Naked women, breasts, right out there in your face.” And since thousands of Lone Star school districts that have German courses failed to catch them, too, just reinforces the Houston Democrat

Maturity Becomes America In its infinite, albeit unsophisticated wisdom the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), placed by the RoveCheneyBush Fascist Regime safely into the hands of moralistic Christian zealots with absolutely no experience in broadcasting, entertainment, or real life, has firmly determined that the word “shit” cannot be uttered in any context during programming broadcast over the public airwaves. This is just one of many words deemed unacceptable by these ideologues for the innate Puritanical sensitivity lodged between America

Letters To The Editor
To The Editor: The latest outrage committed by the Bush administration should wake more people up to the real hazards posed by global warming. It seems a number of prominent U.S. scientists have been publishing well researched information concerning the dangers posed by excessive greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The Arctic icepack is disappearing and the massive Greenland glacier is melting as well. One scientist, a Mr. Hansen, predicted the warming trend would become irreversible within 10 years or less if CO-2 emissions are not drastically reduced. Unfortunately, free press no longer exists in the land of the free. All scientific publications on the matter had to be checked by personnel in the White House. This led to most of the date being rewritten to mitigate or disguise the extent of the hazard being reported, which in turn led to strenuous objections by the scientists, who resented having their signatures affixed to articles they hadn

Texas Elk To Benefit From Elk Foundation Research Grant — Project Headlines $154,569 In Grants For 2008
Project Headlines $154,569 In Grants For 2008
MISSOULA, Mont.The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has allocated $57,191 for a research project to identify elk habitat preferences, movement patterns and demographics in the Glass Mountains of West Texas.
“This project headlines a total of $154,569 worth of conservation and education grants for Texas in 2008. Each year, these grants are based on revenues from Elk Foundation fundraising banquets in Texas, as well as worthy project proposals,” said David Allen, Elk Foundation president and CEO.
Also receiving Elk Foundation grants are various conservation education projects across Texas, a special Texas Youth Hunter Program at the Torstenson Wildlife Center in New Mexico, and a strategic land protection fund.
Partners in the elk research project include Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas, and local landowners.
Researchers have already captured 20 elk and fitted them with radio tracking collars. Preliminary data show elk in the Trans-Pecos region travel widely with some cows ranging across nearly 40 square miles and bulls close to 100. Both show a strong preference for riparian areas. Eventually, this data may lead to cooperative private-land management strategies to ensure the future of wild elk in the region.
The Glass Mountains elk herd is estimated at 150 animals. Smaller herds occur in the Guadalupes and three other nearby ranges, but none exceed 40 elk. Though officially classified as non-native species that can be hunted any time of year, elk are the subject of growing conservation spirit between private landowners.
Since 1984, the Elk Foundation has completed 37 conservation and education projects valued at more than $580,000 across Texas.
The organization will hold its 25th annual Elk Camp & Hunting, Fishing and Outdoor Expo, March 5-8, 2009, in Fort Worth.
About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Missoula, Mont., the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat. The Elk Foundation and its partners have permanently protected or enhanced over 5.2 million acres, a land area larger than Connecticut, Delaware and District of Columbia combined. More than 500,000 acres previously closed to public access are now open for hunting, fishing and other recreation.
