Same Hollywood Opening in a suit. In from the weather in New Orleans I suppose.
Lights, camera, auction: Hollywood sign for sale
NEW YORK: Since the dawn of the movie industry, it has been the biggest name in town. Now the original Hollywood sign, which proclaimed the American film capital above Los Angeles, is up for sale.
The sign, dismantled and placed in storage in 1978, has been put on eBay, the internet auction site, with a reserve price of $US300,000 ($408,000). Memorabilia collectors who want to bid will need plenty of room as well as cash - it stands almost 14 metres high by 140 metres long.

Drew Griffin - 200 bodies that remain to be identified. DNA testing has not begun.
Dental Records are slow in coming to the county coroner if at all. DNA is the only avenue of identity. Dr. Menu (sp.)
12.8 million US rushed through Congress by FEMA and the monies have yet to figure out how to spend that money. If I am not mistaken there is a time limit on the availability of those monies. I think the window was very limited, something like 60 days or so.

Councilman Thomas of New Orleans is frustrated with the lethargy of the entire set of circumstances surrounding Katrina and it's aftermath. The governor is being cited as the person whom is misinformed. Bush stated New Orleans would be restored. The Ninth Ward is full of dead bodies not found yet. Not only that but there has to be bodies under the sediment from the flooding as well as the debris. The turbulence of those waters did not discriminate to what/whom it carried to a burial. I don't know there has been any religious leaders that have consecrated that ground either.

The withdrawal of troops from Iraq and all Bush's conditions. I don't think so.
According to Ms. Bash the president has a plan and BELIEVES Americans will back the war if they feel there is a plan.
"W"rong.
This is more politics as if there has been a plan that can be DECLASSIFIED it should have been long before now. Bush has lead an aggressive invasion leveling towns and allowing illegal use of 'incendiary' chemicals that have injured innocent citizens and provided more and more reason for the increasing insurgency. There is no 'tipping point' here. How can there be? There has been not let up of the assault against the dignity of those people as well as Islam since we arrived there. Not only that but the negligence of this administration of it's own military is astounding.

Jamie McIntyre - Don Rumsfeld believes the word 'insurgents' is not a good word. I agree. I don't know that it provides legitimacy so much as an incorrect identity. The CORRECT word to describe the 'fighters' in Iraq is the word THEY choose to be called. They choose to be called opposition fighters. They have always stated that was their identity. Given that identity it adds a great deal of legitimacy. At one point the Sadr militia and the Kurds militia were considered insurgency rather than opposition forces. Today they are respected by their regional populous as well as seen as the Iraq government as citizens interested in the security of their religious flocks. The Iraqi government is asking the militias to become a part of the National Force. Perhaps that will happen but one thing is very clear, the USA military has not brought dignity to our forces and for that reason 80% of the people of Iraq want us to leave.

Rob Marciano with a review of the Global Warming effects on the storms of 2005. They don't call it that, but, everyone with a brain knows that is what it is. MSNBC shows the vortices for what they are and have for a longer time than any other news network.
The USA Government has lied about Global Warming and it's effects on this planet for YEARS. This is just more of the same. The temperatures across the global are escalating out of control and are nearly irreversible and they have no research in that direction so therefore they continue to deny it. Sound Science demands PROOF of claims and without research PhDs will not make statements regardless the obvious nature.
Defend Science from Political Misuse
On issues from childhood lead poisoning to toxic mercury emissions, federal government scientific information is being censored, manipulated, and distorted on an unprecedented scale. Knowing that these actions have serious consequences for our health, our environment, and national security, members of Congress have introduced the Restore Scientific Integrity to Federal Research and Policy Making Act in the U.S. Senate. Urge your senators to prevent political interference in science and protect our nation's scientific capacity by co-sponsoring this legislation.

Act Now on Global Warming
During the debate over the energy bill in late June, the U.S. Senate passed an extraordinary resolution on global warming stating: "Congress should enact a comprehensive and effective national program of mandatory, market-based limits and incentives on emissions of greenhouse gases..."
This strong commitment to mandatory federal action comes at a time when the rest of the country and the world are already moving forward by taking serious steps to reduce global warming pollution. In fact, recent actions by U.S. states, global business leaders, and the international scientific community reveal that our national leaders are in good company when it comes to addressing global warming.
With this strong resolution in hand, the time for action is now. The Senate has an extraordinary opportunity to build upon this momentum and pass legislation that places mandatory limits on global warming pollution. Please contact your senators and urge them to take leadership on this critical issue.

Global Warming Lending Strength to Hurricanes
Warmer waters fueling more powerful storms
WASHINGTON, September 2—Because rising global temperatures have warmed the oceans, and warm oceans fuel hurricanes, many people have asked whether hurricane Katrina is connected to global warming.

Hurricanes and Climate Change
"Scientific evidence suggests there is a link between global warming and the power—not frequency—of hurricanes," said Dr. Brenda Ekwurzel, a climate scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Late last week, hurricane Katrina left Florida as a Category 1 hurricane. In the course of a few days, Katrina transformed herself from a mild tropical storm into a dangerous Category 5 hurricane as she spun through the warm waters of the Gulf. While it is difficult to blame any one weather event—be it a hurricane or a heat wave or a blizzard—on global warming, recent peer-reviewed research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows that a combined measure of both the duration and intensity of hurricanes has doubled over the last 30 years. This trend corresponds to increases in average ocean surface temperatures over the same period. Most of the strongest hurricanes on record have occurred during the past 10 years, when ocean surface temperatures reached record levels.
"Computer predictions warned citizens in Louisiana and Mississippi of Katrina's force," said Dr. Ekwurzel. "This saved thousands of lives for those who were able to evacuate. Recent scientific developments also tell us that hurricanes will only get more powerful with warmer oceans caused by global warming."
Climate scientists around the world are certain that rising ocean temperatures are a result of global warming. Burning fossil fuels in cars and power plants releases carbon dioxide that blankets the Earth and traps heat. Oceans cover the majority of the Earth's surface, and they absorb most of this excess heat. Temperatures have already risen dramatically in recent decades, and because global warming pollution can stay in the atmosphere for a hundred or more years, temperatures will continue to increase.
"For economic and environmental reasons, and above all to save human lives, President Bush and other elected officials must take action to reduce heat-trapping emissions," said Dr. Ekwurzel.

Make it an election issue no different than the troop redeployment and Global Warming, otherwise the political solution will never occur. We need a new government not a new constitution.

The news. The aid workers are not spies.
Lots of pictures of Navy Seals in their 'skiffs' while a woman with a brother waiting for identity still waits. FEMA doesn't want to identify these bodies. It doesn't matter how much money the Congress/Senate approves there is no movement of the bureaucracy. The governor is not the issue, Anderson. FEMA has not done anything regarding the assistance to the resolution to this problem.
Like I said Anderson, FEMA is the issue and not the governor. You might want to become a more accurate 'reporter.' Try getting George on the phone about this one.
Difficultly Identifying Katrina's Dead
The other 140, however, are so severely decomposed it will take DNA testing to determine their identity. Like much of everything else at the morgue, however, getting DNA testing set up has been slow and frustrating.
Initially, the Louisiana State Police lab was going to handle DNA tests, but FEMA twice refused funding because of bureaucratic rules that limit how much and who the agency can pay. FEMA and Cataldie hope they've solved the issue by having the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services handle the testing, though it hasn't started.
"DNA is our weapon of last resort," Cataldie said. "And I'm at that point."
DNA tests also could help determine how many victims are lost forever — those washed into the Gulf of Mexico or buried in the marshes or under debris.
