This is a call to President Bush, to send troops to assist Katrina victims. Stop sending troops to Iraq, the United States is fighting a war at home with Katrina. Bring the troops home!

After hearing of numerous accounts of looting something needs to be done quickly to get a handle on what is happening and the loss. Armed bandits now are running through the city.

If you can help. This is an exert from the Pasadena Start News:

For only the second time since its inception, the American Red Cross is loosening restrictions for emergency disaster volunteers in an attempt to get as much help as possible to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Red Cross officials are calling it their largest mobilization of resources ever.
The Red Cross is appealing not only to those with experience and training in disaster response but to any able-bodied persons willing to make the trip, Peterson said.

Volunteers are being asked to sign up for a one- to three-week commitment to the response if they are in good physical condition, able to work long hours under hardship conditions, and willing to stay in mass-staffing quarters, Peterson said.

Those without training will receive some before they are dispatched to the hurricane site. Since the relief effort is expected to last as long as three months, said Peterson, inexperienced volunteers will have plenty of time to train and go into the field.

"We want to get hard-working, caring individuals out there," Peterson said. "We'll take anyone who meets those criteria."

Those interested can apply by calling (562) 945-3944 and asking for the Disaster Services Volunteers. For cash donations, send checks to the Disaster Relief Fund, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C., 20013.

Hawaii is in the process of passing a price cap on gas prices at the pump. I will be very interesting to see if this is successful or not. It seems that the oil refineries will be shipping oil to the mainland if the price is too restrictive. It is a matter of supply and demand and market economics. The two refineries will most likely come out ahead.
From what I have heard the price of gas on the Hawaii islands is less than on the mainland.

War Protest in Pasadena
(Pasadena, CA) On the corner of Hill and Orange Grove in Pasadena around 6pm on Wednesday August 17.

A group of 50 protestors gathered on the corner of Hill and Orange Grove to protest the War in Iraq and Bush Policy.

I think people are waking up.... W? Are you listening?

This is just a small example of other larger protests that are taking place around the country.

What are you doing to support the cause and people like these.

If you are for the war in Iraq, there's just one question. WHY?

I want to give a special acknoledgement to Paul MacCready. He has been recognized for San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership's Technology Leadership Award. It will be the organization's fifth time bestowing the annual award. And he is turning 80 years old.
