"There is a flat-screen TV, and that's where they can see the clinician and talk in real time," says Dr. Fred Thomas, a psychiatric epidemiologist who heads community-based mental-health services and policy for the University...

The owner of Luke's had stayed on in his West End corner store, hoping to be there for his neighbors and customers after the storm passed. As Ike came ashore, he was injured, a bacterial infection set in and doctors in Houston had to amputate his lower leg. "The people of Galveston have a special resilience and toughness about them," Daily News publisher Dolph Tillotson wrote this week. "Perhaps that comes from generations of dealing with adversity.
