I've been watching the "Nightly News" and they showed Bush listening to the generals who are covering New Orleans and Hurrican Rita. The generals don't know if the country can ever truly be ready for terrorists attacks and natural disasters. I'm glad that they're willing to admit that we may never be ready for disasters.
As of right now The Red Cross is having a hard times helping with New Orleans victims. The organaztion doesn't have the network to help these people. I'm a little disgusted with their answer, I thought because of 9/11 The Red Cross would be better prepared for these types of situations. I hope next time soemthing like this occurs The Red Cross will be more prepared.

Concert Pictures 2



Here are two other pictures of the concert. They're the same picture, I'm still learning.

Concert


My sister and I attended "Taste of New Port" last weekend and saw Hootie and the Blowfish. The band was promoting their new CD "Looking for Lucky". I'm not a huge fan but I did see Tiger Woods so that was cool. Here are some pictures my sister took.

Ignore the News title, I hit eneter before posting anything.

I watched Meet the Press and Face the Nation and I'm glad to see that everyone is taking Hurrican Rita seriously. It would not look good for our country right now to ignore this hurrican like we did the last one. It appears that everyone is better prepared for this storm and from what I heard on the news, forecasters say that the hurrican season is not even done yet. This doesn't affect me personally, but I just hope my cousins in Florida well be prepared for more hurricans.

One more update

Here's something more about high energy costs:

CIBC World markets believe the cost of barrels of oil will be $84 dollars and eventally will be $100 dollars by the end of 2007

News update

I finally found some High Energy costs information:

Tesco prices have risen up to 27 per cent growth. The Federal Government is looking into the economic growth. Economic growth is by one percentage growth as high energy costs are down and 400,000 jobs could be lost since the hurricane.

Conco Phillips and Chervon chemicals plants sit dry since the hurrican, as Shell pipelines is one of many that set broken and leaking out oil. There are some shared concerns by scientists the effects the oil will have to the rivers and wild life.

News update

Bush has promised no new taxes, sighting that Hurrican Katrina reconstruction will cost $2oo billion dollars or more. Instead other government spending will be cut, however, no one knows what will be cut from the government budget.

Scientents have tested the water in New Orleans and tests have shown diesel and fuel oil make up tenth in the water. However, some signs of normal life has taken shape as oyster beds have reopened. The State Health Department reopened some of the oyster beds southwest of New Orleans.

It will cost $2.26 billion in Louisiana's roads and bridges since Hurricane Katrina left the region. The state estimate $1.5 billion for the federal highway program and the price may rise when more evaluatiuon is done.

Hopefully by tomorrow I'll find information on Energy costs
