		<description><![CDATA[by Len Bahr, PhD* The sordid saga of Gov. Jindal&#8217;s coastal sand plan During mid-May rumors spread about a curious state plan to bill BP big bucks to build temporary sand barriers against oil from the notorious gushing Macondo well. Since that time LaCoastPost has been publishing serial challenges to the sand berm plan, which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Len Bahr, PhD* Lessons learned &#8211; or not from the BP blowout You&#8217;ve doubtless heard the proverb that it&#8217;s better to teach a hungry man to fish than to buy him a fish sandwich from Mickey D&#8217;s. A satiated sandwich eater&#8217;s relief is very short-lived unless he learns a skill beyond panhandling. This proverb [...]]]></description>

The governor has adopted a martial metaphor, declaring [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Len Bahr, PhD* Since founding LaCoastPost.com I’ve invested considerable thought and time promoting seemingly reasonable proposals to offset the permanent flooding of south Louisiana &#8211; and criticizing what I see as misguided concepts. Unfortunately the ongoing B.Pocalypse has stimulated far more bad ideas than good ones. Since May 11, when I first heard the [...]]]></description>

Since those simpler, black and white times** one would think that in 2010 Americans would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Len Bahr, PhD* This post was intended to expand on a critical issue raised on May 21st about how little science was used to develop the controversial $350 million &#8216;emergency&#8217; sand dredging and pumping proposal promoted by local and state interests to defend the coast against BP oil. The scientific community has noted that [...]]]></description>
