| | Web Grades: Alaska Senate | | 2008-06-22 11:37:35 | | Today, we examined campaign websites from the Alaska Senate race pitting Republican incumbent Ted Stevens against Democratic Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich.Ted Stevens (tedstevens2008.com)The site's layout is rather bland and simplistic. The biography page is standard, but does offer a lot of information and pictures. The news section has more than 20 pages of links to various articles that talk about Stevens or the 2008 race, though there is no section for campaign press releases. Stevens addresses more than 20 topics in his issues section--ironically, the most detailed being a defense of earmarks. The site also has a page where users can share stories about the senator, but none were posted as of this visit.The action center invites users to sign up, volunteer, tell a friend, or contribute to the campaign. Visitors are also provided links to newspapers throughout the state to send letters to the editor in support of Stevens. Still, voter interaction is limited.

| | Alaska Cruise Experts Ports of Call Tips | | 2008-04-11 22:08:32 | | ARRIVING IN PORT When the ship arrives in port, it will either dock at the pier or anchor slightly offshore. You may think that when the ship docks right at the pier you can walk must be signed, and local authorities must give their clearance, a process that can take as long as 2 hours. Don't bother going down to the gangplank until you hear an announcement saying the ship has been cleared. If your ship anchors rather than docks (which ships usually will do in Alaska), you will go ashore in a small boat called a launch or tender, which ties up next to your ship and shuttles passengers back and forth all day. Getting on the tender may require a helping hand from crew members, and the waves may keep the tender swaying, sometimes requiring passengers to literally jump to get aboard. Whether the ship is docked or anchored, you are in no way required to get off at every port of call. The ship's restaurants will remain open, and there will be activities offered, though usually on a limited b | | By: European Cruise Vacation Travel Guide | | |
| | Alaska Cruise Reviews Offers Diverse Attractions | | 2008-04-04 13:08:44 | | Being the largest state in the United States, Alaska is also one of the most diverse states in the country. The miles and miles of Alaskan coastline draws in tourists from around the world and has become the one of the most popular vacation destinations because of its natural unspoiled beauty. Perhaps the reason for Alaska's popularity is because of the diverse attractions that Alaska offers. Icebergs, glaciers, and ice fields are among the many natural wonders that can be found in Alaska. Aquatic life is also a major attraction in Alaska, watching killer whales in their natural habitat, or seal and dolphins playing gleefully in the cold Atlantic waters. If cruising the coast of Alaska is a lifelong dream, cruising the coastline will be a dream come true.Cruise ships are not the only way to cruise Alaska; when you sign up for an Alaskan cruise, you have your choice of transportation.

| | Tips in fishing for salmons in Alaska | | 2008-03-23 06:31:51 | | Alaska is known as one of the most bountiful areas with salmon, and is ideal for fishing trips.

| | | Alaska offers many options for viewing wildlife: Whales, eagles, bears and more | | 2008-02-13 06:20:00 | | Alaska — It was near the end of a six-hour bus tour of Denali National Park that we got a good, long look at a bear eating his way through a field of berries.Elsewhere in Alaska, my husband, two sons and I had watched whales spouting near Juneau, eagles along the Chilkat River, and waterways in Ketchikan and Skagway so full of salmon they could barely move.But we'd headed to Denali knowing that the park's 9,400 square miles are home to just 350 brown bears. We hoped to see them, but we were prepared for the possibility that we might not.And therein lies an important point to keep in mind if you're planning a trip to Alaska this summer. There are no guarantees you'll see wildlife, but you can improve your chances if you're patient and if you put yourself in the right place at the right time."People go to Alaska to see wildlife for a reason, but you see it in many ways and in many circumstances," said Holland America Line spokesman Erik Elvejord.

Some of the new highlights include whale watching, a five-course Alaska feast, and the art of glass making and promise to make your Alaska trip one to remember for a long time to come. On a Princess Alaska cruise these are just some of the unique “Great Land” experiences available through the line’s shore excursion program in 2008. There are always surprises. On my last trip to Alaska, while eating lunch at a salmon bake, we had the pleasure of seeing a bear cub who had wandered in, and climbed a tree next to the diner and was sitting on the metal roof. Had to be careful though, as Mom had to be close by. The cub was scared off before we had a chance to see the bigger version. | | By: Your Cruise Your Way Cruise Blog - Best of Cruise | | |

| | Alaska | | 2007-10-26 20:42:00 | | Alaska (IPA: /əˈlæskə/, Russian: Аляска (Alyaska) is an exclave and a state of the United States of America located west of Canada in the extreme northwest portion of North America. A state of superlatives, it has the largest area, the highest mountain and greatest difference in elevation, the most extensive wilderness, and the most lakes, shoreline, and wetlands of any state. Conversely, it has the lowest population density.The area that became Alaska was purchased from Russia on October 18, 1867, for $7,200,000 in gold bullion. The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized territory in 1912 and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959. The name "Alaska" is derived from the Aleut alaxsxaq, meaning "the mainland", or more literally "the object towards which the action of the sea is directed". | | By: Exotic Destinations | | |

| | Destino: Alaska | | 2007-09-30 04:53:00 | | Alaska es un estado de los Estados Unidos (desde 3 de enero de 1959), situado en el extremo noroeste del continente americano, con capital en Juneau. Fue el penúltimo en incorporarse a los Estados Unidos. Se halla rodeado por los océanos Ártico y Pacífico, comparte frontera con Canadá, y está separado de Rusia por el estrecho de Bering. Recibe el nombre del vocablo aleutiano Alyeska, que significa "tierra grande".El descubrimiento de importantísimos yacimientos petrolíferos ha permitido un enorme crecimiento económico en Alaska durante las últimas décadas, pese al aislamiento geográfico y a las duras condiciones de vida. El mayor hito de su desarrollo ha sido la construcción, a partir de 1974, del Trans Alaskan Pipeline, un oleoducto de 1.269 km que une la Bahía de Prudhoe con el puerto de Valdez. Pero el petróleo también ha sido el origen de ciertos desastres, como el accidente ocurrido en 1989 cuando el superpetrolero Exxon Valdez encalló en las aguas de Alaska y provocó una marea negra que ha sido calificada como uno los mayores desastres ecológicos de la historia. | | By: Destinos Exoticos | | |
| | ALASKA'S BERMUDA TRIANGLE | | 2007-09-24 02:33:21 | | In Alaska, people, planes and ships disappear--suddenly, inexplicably and permanently.Of course ,in an enormous territory with lots of difficult terrain and shifting weather, this is not entirely surprising. But the number of disappearances that remain totally unexplained is troubling, even taking into account the rugged nature of the state. ALASKA'S BERMUDA TRIANGLE investigates this phenomenon, focusing on one case in particular, the 1972 disappearance of a plane carrying two U.S. congressmen. Despite the largest search and rescue operation ever launched by the U.S. military, not a trace of the plane and its V.I.P. passengers was ever found

| | $1B cleanup of Alaska bases drags on | | 2007-08-26 02:46:00 | | Alaska became a transit hub for weapons and supplies sent to Russia during World War II. In 1942, the Japanese capture of Attu and Kiska in the Aleutian Islands also spurred speedy military buildup. During the Cold War, radar and satellite stations sprang up along the northern and western coasts to watch for Soviet air attacks over the North Pole. "Our people welcomed the military, our men enlisted, they helped rescue downed planes and the Department of Defense has not taken into consideration the human health effects of these places," said Vi Waghiyi of the Norton Sound Alaska Project, an arm of the nonprofit Alaska Community Action on Toxics.

| | ALASKA: Exxon Mobil loses Alaska pipeline ruling | | 2007-07-28 19:20:00 | | A federal appeals court today rejected an effort by Exxon Mobil Corp. to overturn rules governing access to a potential multibillion-dollar pipeline that would transport natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules published in 2005 that were designed to give Alaskan energy suppliers the ability to deliver their fuel through pipelines they don't own. Natural gas producers, including Woodlands-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp., were concerned that access to the proposed 3,600-mile pipeline would be limited by the companies building it. Alaska has struggled for decades to get a deal either with North Slope gas producers or independent pipeline companies to build a line that could possibly run from the North Slope through Canada and into the Midwest.

| | Royal Dutch Shell Will Drill in the Arctic off the Coast of Alaska this Year | | 2007-07-27 03:02:00 | | Finally, Royal Dutch Shell has brought sanity back to the oil business. Shell has rightfully decided that enough is enough, and will drill in the Arctic off the coast of Alaska this year. It is about time these companies who extract vital resources fight back against the environmentalist lunatics. The greenies simply seek to push us back to the Stone Age with socialism, and front their campaign with the “noble” goal of saving the Planet. Sadly, we too often see advertisements for British Petroleum telling us about the benefits of biofuel and alternative energy. This is possibly the most damaging public relations campaign. What BP does not seem to understand is that the far-left will never give in to anything; liberals always want more government control over our lives until we are all equally miserable. Moreover, the left know these public relations campaigns are simply a ploy.

| | ALASKA: Huge Shell drilling programme heralds scramble for the Arctic | | 2007-07-07 06:28:00 | | Shell is preparing its biggest exploration programme in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska for more than a decade, a move that could establish a new frontier for the oil and gas industry.The Anglo-Dutch energy giant expects to start a controversial three-year programme next month with a small armada of ships drilling a dozen wells in the Beaufort Sea 30 miles off the Alaskan coast.Industry experts have claimed that it could spark a rush into one of the world’s biggest untapped energy reserves. Authorities believe that the Beaufort Sea contains eight billion barrels of oil and nearly 30 trillion cubic feet of gas. Despite fierce opposition from local communities and environmentalists, the US Minerals Management Service gave Shell the green light for the venture in February.It is understood that Repsol of Spain, Norsk Hydro of Norway and Conoco-Phillips of the US are ready to follow Shell if the drilling proves successful.

| | Home Value Trends in Alaska | | 2007-07-01 08:44:00 | | For the past year you've probably heard all about the crashing of the real estate market, plummeting home value averages and the bursting of the housing bubble. You can stop holding your breath, because it really doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon. All that's happening is markets across the nation are leveling out and becoming what is actually a more normalized market. Forget about the national median home value and whether it's dropping or falling. Forget about the national real estate market, because that won't do you any good if you decided to move.Purchasing a new home is an investment, and you want to make sure you're in an area where your home value is sure to appreciate. To do that, you need to look at a few key factors in that area: the economy, unemployment rates, job growth and opportunities, tourism/attractions for visitors and of course, past home value and sales trends. Analyzing each of those factors can give you a solid idea of whether your home value will appreciate greatly over the years in that area.Most people never think of Alaska (capital city of Juneau) has a hot vacation or relocation spot, but the state definitely has a lot to offer. With a sometimes harsh climate and lots of land, Alaska is still sparsely populated, with a 2006 population of 670,053. Their economy consists of agricultural products such as seafood, nursery stock, livestock, dairy and vegetables. Their industry contributions include petroleum and natural gas, gold and mining, food processing, lumber and wood products and tourism. It may seem like a harsh and forbidding place at times, but Alaska has amazing attractions for tourism. It is one of the things that keeps the state populated and the market steady (including home value averages.)Alaska has three major cities: Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau and all have typical big city nightlife for tourists interested in that: fine dining, dancing, music, theater, bars and clubs.

| | ALASKA: BP Sees Prudhoe Bay Output Back Up by End of Weekend | | 2007-05-26 01:47:00 | | by Sonja FranklinBP Plc expects production at its Prudhoe Bay oil field in Alaska, the biggest in the U.S., to return to full rates by the end of the weekend after the company repaired a pipe that had leaked water. London-based BP, Europe's second-biggest oil company, has restarted output from the GC-2 gathering center in the western part of the field, where the leak had occurred, spokesman Daren Beaudo said in an e-mailed statement today. ``We restarted GC-2 early this morning after going through a thorough start-up procedure and checklist and as things currently look we expect to be back to full rates by the end of the weekend,'' he said in the e-mail. BP on May 21 stopped about 100,000 barrels of daily oil output from Prudhoe Bay, which normally pumps about 400,000 barrels a day, after 20 barrels of water flowed from a hole in a pipe near GC-2.
