PROTECTION REBUILDING THE LEVEES Hurricane Katrina caused 50 major breaches of levees and flood walls in New Orleans, toppling this wall, now rebuilt, along the Lower Ninth Ward. The ensuing flood covered 80% of New Orleansup to 20 ft. deep in some places. The government has reconstructed and in some areas even raised the height of the breached levees, but the system is designed to withstand only a Category 3 hurricane. Category 5 is the worst...
...Still, we are left with plenty of time to ponder the same deep questions that seem to be preoccupying the media savants as they contemplate this harmless little movie: how effective has the Internet campaign for the film been, and what may it bode for the marketing of movies in the future? I suspect that Snakes will probably perform pretty much as most scare movies do - a big opening weekend followed by an alarming fall-off in its second and third weeks.

...machine takes out bio-agents from shallow water without using chemicals like chlorine. It takes out ions and heavy metals and chemicals like arsenic from deep water without activated charcoal. It takes out salt water from the ocean without osmosis. It has no chemicals, it has no filters, it has no membranes, no consumables of any kind. It takes any input of water - you don't even have to pretest it - and what comes out is pure, distilled water. It meets the U.S. pharmacopoeia standard for water that can be injected. It's astounding. And it takes one-third...
According to a top Israeli intelligence official, the Pentagon in 2002 offered to supply Israel with bunker-buster bombs capable of punching deep into an enemy's underground defenses, but Israel's air force chief, Lieut. General Dan Halutz, rejected Washington's offer, noting that his country had its own superb weaponry, thank you very much. Four years later, Halutz is now Israel's chief of staff in charge of this summer's air, sea and land strikes against Lebanon. Early on in the monthlong conflict, Israeli intelligence determined that most of Hizballah's rockets were being fired from launchers...
