| Puget Sound: the silent crisis
The new state agency created to restore and protect Puget Sound needs your help to return a beloved, complex body of water to robust health. Puget Sound Partnership is holding an opening series of workshops in nine communities to acquaint the public with the current condition of the Sound and identify the greatest threats to it.Information collected will be used to help develop an action agenda to be presented next fall to Gov. Christine Gregoire. A fundamental challenge for David Dicks, executive director of the Partnership, is convincing Puget Sound residents there is a problem. The scenic beauty of the Sound belies deeper, persistent problems. An updated report, State of the Sound 2007, describes the current condition "to be one of decline, with continuing harms to the clean water, abundant habitat and intact natural processes that are the foundations of a healthy environment." All of us have to better understand the problem before we see our own role in helping solve what the report portrays as a "silent crisis." Restoring Puget Sound means rethinking some of how we live, work and play along its shores and near the waterways that feed into it.
That's Danny Billions to you
I think it says a lot about the man when Mr. Lau from Husky stated how his negotiations went with him. He sounds like a guy who when he gives his word it's genuine. I like and respect the man.
He's one of the few politicians who seem to have a vision for his Province. I wish we had more of them in Canada. Posted 25/01/08 at 7:44 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .

I think it was a very good trade provided Kotsay is healthy, because the Braves only pay $2 mill (A's paying other $5 mill of his $7 mill salary, plus the $350,000 bonus he gets for moving, which was part of his contract). And they give up a hard-throwing reliever who hasn't panned out yet and probably wasn't going to be more than a middle man if he made this year's bullpen. Trading Devine is not akin to trading Adam Wainwright, who had potential to be an ace starter (still does have that potential) and ended up being a closer on St. Louis' World Series championship team. (And personally, I don't think that Drew-for-Wainwright deal was bad, either, because Drew was the Braves' MVP that season and very nearly helped them win a pennant. You don't get difference-makers without giving up talent, folks.
