[Oregon Environmental News] Columbia River LNG terminal plan hits Oregon DEQ permit obstacle ...: With millions being spent on channel deepening, millions being spent on new grain elevators at both Longview and Kalama and all the businesses that depend on shipping product on the Columbia, allowing LNG tankers to tie up the shipping lane will drive contractors to other ports.

[Positive Infinity] Positive Infinity » Blog Archive » Coastal Engineering in the ...: The history of coastal engineering reaches back to the ancient world bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf.  Coastal engineering, as it relates to harbours, starts with the development of maritime traffic, perhaps before 3500 B.C.  Shipping was fundamental to culture and the growth of civilization, and the expansion of navigation and communication in turn drove the practice of coastal engineering.  The availability of a large slave labour force during this era meant that docks, breakwaters, and other harbour works were built by hand and often in a grand scale similar to their monumental contemporaries, pyramids, temples, and palaces.  Some of the harbour works are still visible today, while others have recently been explored by archaeologists.  Most of the grander ancient harbour works disappeared following the fall of the Roman Empire.  Earthquakes have buried some of the works, others have been submerged by subsidence, landlocked by silting, or lost through lack of maintenance.  Recently, archaeologists, using modern survey techniques, excavations, and old documents, have revealed some of the sophisticated engineering in these old harbours.  Technically interesting features have shown up and are now reappearing in modern port designs.  Common to most ancient ports was a well-planned and effectively located seawall or breakwater for protection and a quay or mole for loading vessels, features frequently included in modern ports (Quinn  1972).

This vision–that humans and nature are not two domains but one–has been more recently joined by environmental economists, driven by Herman Daly, Richard Norgaard, and others.

[Jeremy Hunt's Fly Fishing Blog] Dry Fly Fishing on the White River, Norfork Tailwater and Lake ...: When most fly anglers think about fishing the White River Basin and its legendary trout fisheries, images of dredging the bottom with heavy nymphs or working a streamer along bank structure come to mind. An extremely rich habitat, coupled with a prolific forage-base, make these rivers very productive from a sub-surface standpoint, but there are still plenty of opportunities during the course of a normal year to coax big fish to the surface with a dry fly.

[The Foot Blog] A Review of the Jones Fracture with Simple Classification for ...: I was doing pretty good, then jumping my horse over a gymnastic this weekend (one jump, one stride, jump again, one stride, jump again, etc.) and on the last jump, I’d raised the height, and my horse thought he should duck out, and I made him go over it, but I was not in the center–came over the jump too far to the right, and my foot went right into the jump standard, which is the big heavy wooden post that holds the jumps up. It was almost like I jammed all of my toes (keep in mind I’m going about 20mph going over these fences), but I felt it all along the outside of my foot.
