Bill would help fight thirsty tamarisk ( Helping Water Quality )
Posted by admin / Under Cedar Lawn
A bill aimed at tackling water-thirsty tamarisk cleared a major hurdle Tuesday, passing the U.S. House of Representatives. Tamarisk, the fluffy plant with lavender blooms, is also known as salt cedar and has invaded stream banks throughout the American West.

The Salt Cedar and Russian Olive Control Demonstration Act would provide $80 million over the next five years to assess the extent of the plants’ infestation and offer solutions. It is estimated the tamarisk plant and Russian olive trees, both of which are nonnative species, occupy...

Commemorating Battle of Cedar Mountain (where Stonewall Jackson drew his sword)
Posted by admin / Under Cedar Lawn

The group, in partnership...

A Chip Off the Old Dictator (Bashar al-Assad is unlikely to go quietly from Lebanon)
Posted by admin / Under Cedar Lawn
THE CEDAR REVOLUTION HAS TAKEN so many interesting narrative turns, it is easy to forget that the Lebanese opposition confronts a criminal regime in Syria that is more isolated than ever and for that reason quite possibly more dangerous than before. While some repentant skeptics have grudgingly begun to credit the Bush vision for democracy in the Middle East, the White House has prudently refrained from gloating because the outcome is far from resolved. For all the appeasing noises the Damascus regime has made, it may decide not to leave Lebanon without a fight. Some analysts believe that Bashar al-Assad...

Surrender to Wildfire
Posted by admin / Under Cedar Lawn
Summary: SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- What you haven’t heard about the San Diego Wildfires and how changed policies have destroyed lives, property and nature. Full text: Philosophy matters. Ideas have consequences. San Diego's fire-ravaged neighborhoods exemplify a collectivist worldview, ethics, politics, and policy.
