Emergency medicine, internal medicine, and surgeons are most needed right now but all specialties could be needed at some point. Link
PUMPS FAILING -- more water on the way. WWLTV is keeping a blog updating locals on details -- levee breaches, road closures, resident advisories, school info.... Link
IT COULD TAKE NINE WEEKS to pump the water out of New Orleans. Then they can start to assess the damage. Link
MORE MAJOR STORMS on the way -- apparent cause is temperature rise in the ocean. Link
THREE DOLPHINS were moved from their tank at the Marine Life Oceanarium in Gulfport, Mississippi to the swimming pool at a Best Western Motel, to protect them during the storm. Apparently this is standard procedure when there is a hurricane warning. Link
A GERMAN IMMIGRANT in Los Angeles is documenting his experience -- buying a car, finding food, shopping, dealing with the cable company, American air conditioning habits, cola with ice -- little things we never see as unusual. Link in German -- Link in Google translated English
BMW says they plan to have hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in production and in the market by 2010. Link
I APPRECIATE their eagerness for quality but this is getting a bit absurd. It seems that every time I do any kind of transaction with SBC (they are the church's local, long-distance, and ISP) -- even a simple help question -- the transaction generates a follow-up request from their quality control people wanting to know how our experience with the company was.
Yes, I'm pleased with your service. Please don't call me or send me any more emails asking for feedback. I may change my mind.
ROBERTSON SAGA CONTINUES -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday that his government will take legal action against Pat Robertson and that he might even seek his extradition under UN protocols.
Yeah, sure. The extradition of Pat Robertson is even less likely than the CIA sending in assassins to kill President Chavez. But I suspect the Venezuelan president is going to milk this thing for all he can get. And he's got help. Jesse Jackson put in an appearance with Chavez on Sunday so that he could denounce Robertson and the US government.What do Robertson, Chavez, and Jackson all have in common? Love of cameras.
