POPSOfficials May Evacuate New Orleans as Gustav Nears If a Category 3 or stronger hurricane comes within 60 hours of the city, New Orleans plans to institute a mandatory evacuation order. Unlike Katrina, there will be no massive shelter at the Superdome, a plan designed to encourage residents to leave. Instead, the state has arranged for buses and trains to take people to safety. Since the storm (Katrina), the Army Corps of Engineers has spent billions of dollars to improve the levee system, but because of two quiet hurricane seasons, the flood walls have never been tested. Floodgates have been installed on drainage canals to stop any storm surge from entering the city, and levees have been raised and in many places strengthened with concrete. Scientists cautioned that the storm's track and intensity were difficult to predict several days in advance. The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals planned to move animals to shelters elsewhere in the state and in Texas.

POPSWind, Solar and Clean Coal Blow Into Denver for communications at the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, which uses scrubbers and other technologies to limit coal’s environmental effect. Lucas said the coal industry decided to spend $1.7 million on a multipronged advertising campaign in Denver and the Twin Cities, where the Republican convention will be held next week. Like the wind industry, clean coal had virtually no presence in 2004, Lucas said. The solar industry has also radically increased its coverage of the convention. In Minneapolis-St. Paul, the SEIA contributed to the host committee through its membership in the Republican Governors Association. (Solar Energy Industries Association) It is also hosting a party in Denver and jointly hosting a party with the wind association in Minneapolis.

POPSFed Chairman: Economy Bad, Worst "in Memory" It is not just gas prices. Bernanke talks about how inflation has not yet had its full effect , comparing it to a storm that has not yet fully hit the mainland: "Although we have seen some improved functioning in some markets, the financial storm that reached gale force'' around this time last year "has not yet subsided, and its effects on the broader economy are becoming apparent in the form of softening economic activity and rising unemployment,' Bush and McCain do not acknowledge this, and Obama's policies would never fix it. The role that both Bush and Congress have played in RUINING the economy through government overspending (on unjust wars), devaluing the dollar (which is a key factor in inflation), and causing a rise in oil prices, are not discussed. The Fed is not innocent and causes inflation too by printing more money for government overspending from thin air! The Fed Chairman is using this to try to obtain new powers for th

POPSFay Dumps Record-Breaking Rain Flood Victims Warned Of Alligator Swimming In Streets: Homeowners Forced To Use Canoes "Some folks (in Palm Bay) have more than 1 foot of water already in their back yards, causing flooding," Sorrells said. "Other areas around Central Florida are wondering what the big deal is." Fay Stalls The National Hurricane Center's projected path of movement for Tropical Storm Fay now includes a fourth Florida landfall as it continues to dump "historic" amounts of rain on parts of Central Florida. "Fay will be with us for the next 48 hours at least," Wilson said. "Thankfully, by Friday morning, it should be (located) just to the north of Ocala and on its way out of Florida. But if (Fay) does take this path into the Gulf of Mexico it would (make) its fourth landfall into Florida." Fay's third landfall Thursday will again deliver heavy rain and high winds to Central Florida counties, Local 6 meteorologist Tom Sorrells said.

POPS Wind Blows Kite Surfer Into Bldg. Caught On Tape (CBS4) ― A man in Fort Lauderdale seeking some thrills on the rough surf didn't heed that warning and ended up in the hospital after being hurt in an astonishing kite boarding accident. The kite boarder was harnessed into his sail when the wind violently picked him up and slammed him onto the sandy beach. Then, he was dragged across the sand before being lifted up into the air again and blown across the street where the wind slammed him into a building. Fort Lauderdale fire rescue crews quickly arrived on the scene and transported him to Broward General Medical Center. He is currently listed in critical condition, but his friends continue to insist they believe he will make a full recovery. Kearney's friends say he was strapped into a harness with emergency releases. However, everything happened so fast, it's possible he had no time to think about unhooking his clasps.

POPSWhat the new taxes cost Seattle They do have a point - there is a growing riff between the social policy liberal Democratic Party and the Labor Union Democratic Party. It is hard to see why the two joined the same party except that the other major party was totally inhospitable to either of their agendas.
