will tell us that as well. >> that's the kind of guy he is. thank you, ali and michael. we are running late. >> i will give you a job if you don't like it here. come work for me. >> great to see you, michael moore. >> we are in hoboken, new jersey across from manhattan. the fallout from sandy still coming. andrew cuomo is expected to address the media shortly. we will monitor what he says and bring you late details should the governor make news. this is after a day of running the generator the rooftop generators with buckets of fuel
1:01 am
from the basement passed hand to hand up 13 flights of stairs if you can imagine and now traffic in manhattan jammed solid. the subways expected to start to come on-line tomorrow, but in a very, very limited way. people now jamming buses or simply walking. things are improving slightly in places. but this crisis is far from over and it is evolving almost minute by minute wchl have all of the angles starting with president obama and new jersey governor chris christie. with the election year but the disaster now two political rivals joined hands and got to work. they saw a shoreline battered beyond recognition, almost beyond belief. mile after mile of destruction. home after home, life after life. on the ground at a local shelter no political complications, just simple need and promises from each man to meet it. >> governor christie, throughout
1:02 am
this process, has been responsive. he's been aggressive in making sure that the state got out in front of this incredible storm. and i think the people of new jersey recognize that he has put his heart and soul in to making sure the people of new jersey bounce back even stronger than before. i want to thank him for his extraordinary leadership. >> i cannot thank the president enough for his personal concern and compassion for our state and for the people of our state. >> ask you to back up, please. >> in hoboken, new jersey, that meant the national guard, nowhere to be seen until last night was out in force today, rescuing people stranded and getting hungry. >> could have survived one night without food and water. >> police choppers did rooftop rescues. at sea the navy is moving three warships in to the area, capable of serving as off-shore helicopter bases. this is still a fast-moving emergency.
1:03 am
[ sirens ] >> crews this afternoon, evacuations at another major hospital, bellvue, 700 patients on the move. elsewhere the city it seemed like no one moving. >> i think anyone that tried to drive in new york city realized there are a lot of cars on the road. traffic is very heavy. >> reporter: new york's mayor bloomberg announced bridges in to houston machine are open but limiting most incoming cars to three occupants or more. for the subways limbed service tomorrow but a lot of work ahead. kennedy is up and running. la guardia still closed. the crane, now they say it is tied down and secure. but elsewhere, no progress. only a clearer view of the loss. here in new york city's breezy point more homes destroyed than first thought and the mayor of seaside heights. >> we are taking baby steps.
1:04 am
we will sort it out at the end trying to get semblance of what was. >> short time ago andrew cuomo tweeted this picture that we want to show you. a picture of national guard troops moving patients out of bellvue hospital. he thanked them for their help. they have been working tirelessly to get the patients to safety and work the bucket brigade that has been carrying food to the emergency generators. the evacuation should be completed by noon tomorrow. of course one of the challenges is where to take the patients. several hospitals had to evacuate patients as well. nyu medical center had to move patients during the storm on monday night after its generators failed. bellvue, a couple of blocks south of nyu, chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta has been there and is joining me now. this evacuation has been going on all day and you have been covering it for hours.
1:05 am
it is going on all night long? >> it is set to go on all night long. you can see the ambulances lined up here behind me. they expect until noon tomorrow. i talked to the chief of the hospital not long ago and they said they are about half way done with evacuations. it is a order of medical triage. so the sickest patients first and as time goes on, patients will be less and less critical. >> some of these patients are being carried down as many as 18 flights of stairs. that's posing a lot of danger obviously. >> reporter: there's no light. there's hardly any food. as you mentioned earlier, the national guard is helping with some of that. it's unbelievable. i have to say -- keep in mind, maybe it is obvious these doctors and nurses, many of them are affected by the storm, their families, their homes, all of
1:06 am
that. many have been here from the beginning have not left. the national guard, which you were describing earlier, had a bucket brigade, generators take 40 gallons an hour to run. they had to get 40 gallons of fuel up 13 flights of stairs and they used a bucket brigade to do that and kept doing it. they were doing it hours oend. what prompted the evacuation today is when they started to clear some of the water from the basement where the fuel pumps are, they realized the damage was worse than they thought it was. at that point they realized they needed to evacuate. it was going to take too long. they needed to do something. >> we have seen a lot of heroic work, sanjay at nyu before the situation and now at bellvue and our thoughts are with the doctors 'national guard and the nurses and orderlies. in our hour at 8:00, i think i
1:07 am
misspoke and said there were no more hospitals in manhattan open. i forgot about beth israel. so there is one. la guardia will open tomorrow. that's the good news. as for the limited subway service that resumes tomorrow in new york, there in new york, no trains will be running south of 34th street, an area that inclouds, of course, the financial district. sandy's crippled the nation's biggest transit system. some stations remain under water right now. there's catastrophic damage to underground tracks and equipment. the mta says it is too early to tell when full service will return or if every subway line can be fixed. some of them may be beyond repair. millions of riders depend on the subway each day, all of us in the city. a few commuter train lines twhent to service this afternoon. for the most part, commuters relied on buses, on cars, on cabs if they could get them and gouged for prices on the cabs.
1:08 am
there is gridlock as m.a.d.d. bad as we have ever seen in manhattan. look at this. this is columbus circle south of central park on the west side earlier today. one massive traffic jam largely caused by the crane which is still dangling over 57th street and closed off the region, about a seven-block area around there. jason carroll is joining me from the queensboro bridge that connects manhattan and queens. what's the latest in terms of people trying to get in to manhattan. i has been a nightmare for them all day, jason. >> reporter: you are right. it has been a frustrating day for commuters. we have been watching throughout the day, not just here at the queensboro bridge but downtown at the brooklyn bridge. a few stragglers are making the late-night trek across the queensboro bridge trying to get out of manhattan. we have been seeing this all day throughout the day. thousands of people moving in and out of the city, unable to take a train or subway because they weren't up and running. the buses were running and are
1:09 am
running, at least in this section of the city. you can see the line here, even at this hour, at 10:00, a line here going down the block to try to get on that one bus that's still waiting to take on some passengers. people telling us they waited three to four hours at a certain point to get on a bus, anderson. people have been patient throughout the day. look at the video we shot two hours ago, right here where we were. people were rushing, crushing, trying to get on the bus that pulled up. people had been patient all day but their tempers got the best of them, for a while as everyone tried to get on this one particular bus that pulled up. we saw an elderly man and woman try to get on. people allowed them to back up, allowed them to get on and then the crush started again. it ended with people doing what they needed to do. the bus driver turning and saying we will make this happen. he said have a nice day as they pulled off and despite what you are seeing there, eventually things turned out all right. at least for now. one u.p.s. worker who decided
1:10 am
not to take the bus decided he was going to make the walk like so many people did today across the bridge. he summed up the feeling of a lot of commuters today. listen to what he had to say. tell me about the commute for you today? >> i walked from queens boulevard over here. >> put that in perspective for me. what kind of walk was that. >> a marathon. >> a marathon. >> marathon. that's what you could call it. >> what are we talking about in terms of hours. >> two hours of walk. no buses, nothing. need train service really bad. >> anderson, one woman i think basically summed it up. i'm going to paraphrase what she said. i asked her about her commute and she said i have to walk a few hours one way and few hours the other way but at least i have a home to go to and given what we know about the after effect ols the storm so many
1:11 am
people do not have a home to go to. that is probably one thing we should keep in perspective as we watch these commuters complain or in some cases complain about the long commute they have today and will likely have again tomorrow. yeah. we are all in this together. everybody is pretty much in the same boat. hope people's patience continues in the days ahead. this is the a long recovery. the images of flooded subway tunnels are surreal. never seen anything like this. yand, burnside, a reporter for wnyc radio got a firsthand look at some of the damage. she is joining me now. andrea, you got in to path train station downtown. that links manhattan to new jersey. hoboken, you saw the flooding firsthand a lot of people in hoboken have been asking me about this. what did it look like? how was it? >> it was slightee completely d
1:12 am
the water was up to the subway platform. the station was destroyed and then rebuilt after the world trade center attacks. now the governor says there's salt water going back five miles in that tunnel to new jersey. >> five miles in the tunnel. do they have any kiebd kind of timetable when they may be able to get it repaired, or are they going to have to wait to get the water out before they can assess it. >> they haven't giving us a timetable. we spoke to colonel owen of the army corps of engineers who was in new orleans after hurricane katrina, and he said that new york city is a much more complex problem because these tunnels are so deep and they are so long. and the path tunnel may be even luckier, if you will, than the
1:13 am
subway tunnels because the subway tunnels, the system that just had its 108th birthday on saturday, one day before hurricane sandy hit. some of the electrical equipment in the tunnel -- some 0 are so old they don't know what is the affect of salt water eroding the tunnels. one thing that struck me is that governor cuomo was talking quite firmly yesterday and today about climate change and how climate change has made lower manhattan much more vulnerable to these storm surges and has made the subway system vulnerable, which is unfortunately something that what was predicted and predictable. >> well, it's also something -- i was talking to a climate change expert today. it is only going to get worse. we have seen the water rise a foot over the last 100 years but the next 100 years should be
1:14 am
rising in an area of two three feet. for an island like manhattan that is something we have to contend. ya andrea, thank you very much. late word that governor christie has taken action to boost fuel supplies in the state waiving licensing rules and making it easier for local sellers to bring in diesel and gasoline from out of state. there are a lot of folks if they can drive around don't have the gas to do it anymore. what the governor and president obama saw today as they toured some of the hardest-hit areas in new jersey when we come back.

1:18 am
shot of the manhattan skyline. power outage on one end of the island and farther uptown, i say apparently because manhattan, new york city or new york region won't be back to normal for a while. because of that, just moments ago, new york governor andrew cuomo declared a transportation emergency announcing that from now until the end of the week all travel on public transit, buses, subways, any subways that are running and commuter trains will be free. the idea being to get people who need to come in to manhattan to work out of private cars and off the streets. we know a number of people have obviously lost their lives. 28 piece lost their lives in new york city. 56 across sandy's deadly path in the u.s. as we are seeing, both at ground level and especially from the air, the worst physical destruction is along the jersey shore. some of the images have been extraordinary. as you saw at the top, president obama and governor christie
1:19 am
toured the devastation area. more on that from jessica yellin right now. >> crisis makes unexpected political bedfellows. >> i cannot thank the president enough for his personal concern for his compassion and concern for the people of our state. >> president obama returned the favor. >> he has put his heart and soul in to making sure the people of new jersey bounce back even stronger than before. >> reporter: obama and christie on the presidential helicopter to review the storm ravaged coast, touring a shelter for residents who lost everything. >> fema here right now. >> and walking in a neighborhood among the hardest hit. among the surprises, a president not known for displaying affection showed it this day. >> we will get you together. i promise you. promise. you are going to be okay. >> and governor christie, one of
1:20 am
mitt romney's top campaign attack dogs. >> give you a plane ticket back to chicago you have earned. >> reporter: went out of his way to talk about his leadership credentials. >> he has sprung in to action immediately to help us getting those things in the car ride together. this is our sixth conversation this weekend and it has been a great working relationship. >> the storm's political map, on the plus side for the president, acting as emergency responder in chief. >> i've instituted a 15-men rule essentially on my team. you return everybody's phone calls in 15 minutes whether it the mayor's, governors, county officials. if they need something we figure out a way to say yes. >> reporter: demonstrating a well-funded federal government can help. >> part of the reason we will be able to respond quickly to all of this is because they helped to make sure that fema financing was in place. >> reporter: and leaving aside campaign jabs for post-crisis
1:21 am
unity. >> you see neighbors helping neighbors and you are reminded what america is all about. >> on the down side, if power isn't restored for hundreds of thousands of americans, they could vent their frustration at the ballot box. and no one knows how the storm will impact turnout on election day. in the state hit by sandy or in the rest of the country watching this tragedy unfold. political observers initially said the storm could hurt president obama by depressing the early vote in battleground states. but the battleground states hit by the storm, new jersey and virginia, don't have in-person early voting. they are not really a concern for the obama campaign. as for depressing turnout on election day, well, the storm could affect that. but the states hardest hit by the storm are blue states, new york, new jersey and connecticut and even with a depressed turnout, they are likely to go for president obama any way. jessica yellin, cnn, the white
1:22 am
house. >> i'm here with the hoboken mayor dawn zimmer. what a difference a day makes. last night the national guard hadn't yet arrived and here's what she said last night. >> i'm asking for the national guard to come in. we are desperate for the national guard to come in. we need specialized equipment to get to people and evacuate those that haven't been evacuated. i have been ask canning them. there's a chain of command. >> what are you hearing. >> they are coming, they are coming but they are not here. >> that was last night. we aired that at 8:00. shortly after you got word that the national guard was coming. aa they arrived at 1:00 a.m. how are things today. >> we appreciate governor christie working to make sure the national guard came in and actually got a call from the white house and really appreciate -- there is somis
1:23 am
communications that happened but president obama is really focused on making sure if there is a miscommunication he wants to know about it. really appreciate that we have the option now to reach out and if we need additional resource is, which we absolutely do and we will be making sure that we get the resources for the city. >> what's the greatest need? last time we talked on the phone, the last couple of days, at the time there were 50% of hoboken under water. how much now do you think? >> you know, it is hard to say. it is receding. so maybe it is a third of hoboken is underwater. and there's still people that can't get out of their homes an we have been going around today. the first priority was medical emergencies. as we go around and focus on the seniors and people with young children, there's food. we need more food. we need more water, we need more resources coming in. so anyone who wants to make a donation can drop it off at hoboken high school here in
1:24 am
hoboken. 8th and clinton street. we really appreciate those donations. >> we have been seeing our correspondent who was here earlier today saw a lot of volunteers. saw guys with poles trying to clear out the drainage, letting the water drain out. that has to be heartening to see. >> that's amazing. the volunteers have been amazing. i was out with a team of volunteers tonight. we were just going through, knocking on doors, checking on seniors, especially the seniors on the tenth floor of a building. they can't get downstairs and they can't climb all of those stairs. so we were going around, check in on them, making sure they had food and water aechblt that's what we need. we need more teams of volunteers making sure we are going to every building. even in the areas that aren't flooded. we need to check in on our residents that really need us right now.
1:25 am
as we get through the power outage. >> the question you have been getting, is how quickly do you think the power can be restored. >> that's the question of the day. the estimates are a little scary, seven to ten days is what pse and g is telling us. we are working to make sure part of the issue for us is we need to get the water, two of our pump stations are flooded. actually really appreciate the support from the county. they are coming in. right now, as we speak, united water has come in with an additional pump. we are working to put together a plan to pump out the water around the substation. hoping that can alleviate it so we can get pse and g in to repair the substations. because that supports a lot of the city of hoboken. >> i know you have been working around the clock. thank you for talking to us. i'd shake your hand but it is all dirty. use some purell. >> up next we will speak to a

we learned today the giant fire that devastated the new york city community of breezy point, which we have been covering now for days, was even more destructive than first believed. fire officials upped the number of homes destroyed to 110. those flames were fanned by the gale-force winds of sandy as it pounded the region with. today teams scoured the debris checking for victims. i'm joined by a former new york firefighter who lost his home in that fire. it is a miracle he's alive after this disaster and in 2005 he
1:30 am
amazingly survived another brush with death. he was nearly killed when his bike was hit by a 20-ton bus and sucked underneath it. this is one of new york's ultimate survivors. appreciate you being with us. i'm so sorry for your loss. how are you holding up? >> thank you, anderson. we are doing as well as can be expected. >> i know you went back home after the fire. is there anything that was salvageable? >> no. not at all. my street was right in the middle of the burn zone pretty much and everything was pretty much dissgeg grated. >> i was told when you went back you were looking for something special. what was it? >> my wife and i went back the next day and we were digging around and hoping to find something, and just before we were ready to leave we looked
1:31 am
down where the flower bed used to be and the girls, our two young girls grace and emily had stones with their hand prints and names on them in the flower beds and i saw one of the purple stones there the soot. so i scraped it off and dug it out and found the other one for emily and brought them home to the girls. >> wow. something you can never replace. we spoke to your father last night. he said it looked like warplanes had come through and destroyed the neighborhood. have you thought of what you are going to do now? what is the first step? how do you begin to rebuild? >> i think something of this magnitude will take some time before people decide what they are going to do as far as rebuilding. no doubt that breezy point and rockaway has proven time after time unfortunately after 9/11 and then the plane crash two months after september 11th it is a community of faithful
1:32 am
people and people that believe where they come from. so they will rebuild and find a way and i will be right there with them. >> yeah. again our thoughts are with you and your family and everyone from breezy point who's suffering tonight. breezy point will not be forgotten, nor will seaside heights, new jersey or atlantic city. appreciate you being with us. toms river where michael holmes witnessed the destruction up close. michael is there now. you got a first-hand look at new jersey's barrier islands today. what was that like? what did you see? >> we are one of the first ones in there among the media. what we saw was pretty shocking actually. we expected it to be bad and we have heard from the first responders who have been in there that it was bad but it was extraordinary. one of the first thing we saw driving through was an entire intact house in the middle of a street. it literally had been blown off and forced off by the water off the foundation and put about 30
1:33 am
yards away from those foundations. the other extraordinary thing we are standing there looking down the road and noticed a puddle of water. it was actually a sinkhole that had a full-size pickup in it that you can barely see above the water line. these are the scenes that greeted the first responders, as well. houses had collapsed on to themselves and others had been blown off their foundations and others did not look to be damaged but then you saw the frame was twisted. a lot of the houses that don't look too bad will have to be pulled down any way. it is tens of millions of dollars. the other thing we noticed, as soon as we got up there was the smel smell of natural gas. you can hear a hissing from the wreckage of the houses and there were numerous fires all over the island. then we went to one place where there was an area, the size of three or four football fields levelled and blackened and the fire still burning. that was an area that used to
1:34 am
have dozens of houses on it. just quite an extraordinary, almost surreal thing. i have been to a lot of war zones. you look down a couple of streets and it looked like iraq after a battle had taken place with all the dead trees around and the damage and cars in various states of disrepair. it was quite an emotional thing for the first responders, too. the toms river police have done such an incredible job of getting out there quickly to help people. they were the ones showing us around. the police chief of 40 years there said he had never seen anything like this. we talked to the locals who stayed through the hurricane and regretted doing so. one poignant one, a man who had a wife who had alzheimer's and said he only stayed because she felt more comfortable in familiar surroundings and he looked back and said he wished he had left as well. obviously a lot of clearing to be done. it has started. we have seen 30 or 40 front end loaders going through there and
1:35 am
they were starting to scoop the sand off the street. the dunes that were 12 feet high are gone. the ocean blew through them and the sand is three or four blocks inside the townships. they are going to have to get rid of that. the destruction is just almost complete. anderson? >> yeah. so much work to be done. michael appreciate it. generations of americans, not just people from new jersey, have memories of summers along the jersey shore, especially at the amusement parks. we want to show you what is left of the roller coaster in seaside heights. it is now sitting in the atlantic ocean and the boardwalk is gone. joining me is bill acres. i know your community is devastated and that's a word we have heard a lot but it applies for your community. what's the latest information you have about the response effort and the safety of your residents? >> we had a meeting today with the state and chiefs of police from the other towns affected by
1:36 am
this. also emergency response people, oem and we're going to be doing a final door to door tomorrow 8 a.m. we will be knocking on the doors of anyone who is left. we need to get them out of this town. as we get closer to any service or utilities, whether it be a electric, water or sewer turned back on we need for their safety with all of the gas they should be out of the communities. we don't know what will happen as we start to go back on-line. probably within the next three to ten days. so that's going to be the first thing we do. >> do you have -- >> go ahead, sir. >> do you have any sense of the scope of the destruction at this point? the number of houses or lives affected? do you have any sense really? >> you know, i tried to -- i was
1:37 am
working as i was waiting to talk to you and other sheriffs to hear what is going on because i can't see a lot of it. the concerns we have is that as i have been through and walked under the boardwalk and you see the pilings are gone, the foundations of houses, the aerial views don't do justice to what we are seeing on the ground. and what people will have to come back and deal. it's more than i ever thought i'd see. you know you can prepare for it and think you know then you go through it you don't. you sloutly don't. >> yeah. >> those aerial pictures i have seen them so many times. it is hard to wrap your mind around it. the scale of it is just kind of mind boggling. so many people have mentioned the special spirit of your
1:38 am
community and the memories that they have of it and from not only from people from new jersey but visitors around the country and the world. what do you want people watching to know about your residents, about seaside height and what lays ahead? >> i think if anything the best part of seaside heights left intact which are the people, which are the great individuals we had out there working hard to secure the community and get it back on-line with the fire department, the responders, the first aid department, all of the volunteers. you know by the grace of god, they weren't touched. they are here. we are going to rebuild. we are going to be back. we will be different. there's no question about it. we will be different but we will be seaside heights and we will open our arms again to anyone,
1:39 am
well wishers an the world and you are right. it's amazing. i spoke with the chief of police and the texts that come over the line from people that have been here and have been touched in one way or another that are sending us so many wonderful thought and prayers. i guess that's what keeps you going. you get tired at the end of the day but you get a little sleep and you know what you are doing. you know it will be a good thing. it is just a long way off. just don't know when. >> yeah. well, i know a lot of people look foreer ward to visiting the boardwalk when it is up again and the businesses are back and the community is back, as it will be. mayor akers we wish you the best and we will talk to you in the days ahead. thank you. >> thank you, sir. up next, a giant crane still hangs a thousand feet above the

construction crane on top of a high-rise swung back ward, broke in the high winds of the storm. the massive metal boom is left dangling 1,000 fight feet over midtown. police cordoned off several blocks. a lot of people evacuated from several buildings. it is still dangling. a live shot of the crane a couple of blocks from cnn. mayor bloomberg said that engineers determined it is securely fastened to the building and said they will have to construct another crane on top of the building in order to take down the broken one. i spoke earlier with richard graham, a crane and construction expaernt the owner of diamond hoisting and rigging. appreciate you being with us. the city says the boom of the crane is secured, clearly not to the point where authorities will let people in the area, still cordoned off but perhaps more secure than it was. there are a number of variables in this. what do you make of the situation?
1:44 am
how safe is this? >> well, hopefully the city engineers have inspected the upper assembly which is holding the entire crane in the air if that is secured, then the next number two item would be securing the boom itself to prevent that from depatching and falling to the ground. >> the only way to get this thing down is basically to build another crane, a second crane on top of the power to dismantle the first one, is that correct? >> that is correct, anderson. typically what would happen, a derek would be assemble aepd attached to the building itself and that derek would, in turn, dismantle the crane and remove the damaged components and possibly replace them or remove the entire drain. >> what do you think happened here was this just an error of somebody -- usually cranes kind of weather vane and that's how

they are able to last through the high winds. what was the mistake here? >> it is hard to say looking at the video. all electric tower cranes have a weather vane functions, some are electrically controlled which means we are relying on electricity to complete that function. possibly the weather vane function wasn't releasing it the way it should have been. looking at the video, the boom was pointed up toward the wind. had the crane been rotated 180 degrees in the opposite direction, we probably wouldn't have this conversation now. i don't think there would be any damage at all. >> right. it is still creating havoc in midtown around 57th street because the whole area is cordoned off. a lot of traffic around there and traffic jams all day ann long and people are evacuated from the surrounding buildings.
1:46 am
appreciate your expertise and you talking to us. >> that part of midtown sits on fairly high ground. not so obviously as we have seen up and down the jersey shore, belmar, new jersey under water. yet all of that water has not been able to dampen the spirits of people that live there as randi kaye found out firsthand. >> if ever belmar, new jersey neighborhood needed an angel, they found one. they call him saint michael. his real name is michael irwin. he's been boating people to and from their homes working 12-hour shifts. >> a couple of people needed to get out. a couple of our neighbors got out and their dog. chuck we got out and his dog lucky. there's a couple other people we got out to other families, make sure they are at dry land. >> lucky for his neighbors, he is a surfer and kayaker so he had a wet suit and he is a boy
1:47 am
scout so he says he's always prepared. this area is known as the 8th avenue neighborhood and the water we're in right now, this is normally a street, an avenue, is about four feet deep. luckily most of the residents, not all of them, but most of them did evacuate before hurricane sandy even hit. irene mccann evacuated to her son's house, but now she has returned, she needs michael's help to reach her home. >> how much damage is in your house? >> we are pretty high up. almost to our porch. we have a tall, high porch. we are on the corner here. the house with the red trim. and it is right up. hot water heater, furnace, everything's gone, my husband's tools everything. >> this is a tight-knit community where neighbors help neighbors. even the councilman brian mcgovern came by to see how everyone is doing. >> the situation is the worst i have seen it. i have lived in belmar 60 years.
1:48 am
nothing has come close. i said to my wife what is the white stuff and it is a wave. in a couple of minutes our house was inundated by the water. >> michael has his troubles too. when it came to 6:00, 7:00 within a half hour we with were flooded. >> he took us by kayak to his house. >> this is your house behind us. >> right there. >> are we in your front lawn. >> in my driveway. >> so your front lawn you are standing in it. >> you are also in about three feet of water. >> four feet of water, yeah. >> michael says he has about six feet of water in his house, no power or heat which is no surprise considering the amount of water here. ocean avenue is a few blocks away and the ocean dumped water this to nearby silver lake which overflowed in to michael's neighborhood. one look at this submerged car and you can see the water won't be receding anytime soon.
1:49 am
>> randi kaye is joining us now. behind us you can see one of the national guard vehicles. there are several dozen vehicles here they have been using to patrol through the community here in hoboken and rescue people. they rescued 350 people in the last 24 hours since they have been here. in terms of where you were, any idea when that neighborhood belmar may get relief? >> just before our live hit here, we saw a member of the national guard come by. asked if we needed anything. was checking on the neighborhood. they are looking for relief very soon. it's the cold here. they don't have any power. they don't have heat. that's because of the water that is sitting here behind me. still tonight it is four feet deep and it's not going anywhere. as i mentioned ocean avenue is two stop signs down and the water isn't going away with the low tide. it is just sitting here. tomorrow the good news is they are going to bring in massive pumps that can pump out 40 to
1:50 am
60,000 gallons of water per minute. they are going to get started on that. hopefully that will bring the water out and get it to recede and then they can work on the power, which hey hope will be up and running in about a week. anderson? >> appreciate that. the water here in this intersection, hoboken, has been going down in the couple of hours we have been here. still find strange thing and a lot of photographs floating around. a photograph of three friends having fun at a party and there's fish, if you can believe it or not, swimming around my feet. three or four-inch fish, very strange what you find in this water. when we come back, we want to honor the victims and the survivors of sandy, the names of the people we know so far and some of their stories. we'll be right back aky layers bs in just 15 minutes the light delicate layers add a layer of warmth to your next dinner. pillsbury grands biscuits let the making begin.

The antibiotic Tequin is coming off the market. Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. confirmed that it plans to stop making and selling Tequin. Tequin is prescribed for chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, urinary tract and other infections. The drug generated approximately $100 million in sales in the U.S.
The drug was first sold in 1999. Tequin is associated with both high- and low-blood sugar in patients. Two months ago the FDA required increased warnings on Tequin's label. Tequin's maker warnsthat it should not be used by diabetics, the elderly, and those with kidney disease. You can read the Medwatch posting on the FDA site by going here. The posting states:
Posted 02/16/2006] BMS notified FDA and healthcare professionals about proposed changes to the prescribing information for Tequin, including an updating of the existing WARNING on hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), and a CONTRAINDICATION for use in diabetic patients. The changes also include information identifying other risk factors for developing low blood sugar and high blood sugar, including advanced age, renal insufficiency, and concomitant glucose-altering medications while taking Tequin. The proposed changes are highlighted in the following "Dear Healthcare Provider" letter issued by BMS. Specific wording of these additions and revisions to the labeling is pending FDA review and approval.

Centrelink could face a wave of legal action from Australian jobseekers over what employment groups say is a "growing crisis" arising from penalties or abrupt suspensions of welfare payments imposed by private employment companies.
The legal action is being canvassed by the Australian Unemployed Workers' Union and seeks to examine the behaviour of the private companies to which the government has given the task of managing employment programs.
The potential legal action could challenge Australia's heavily privatised employment scheme, which relies on companies effectively making decisions on behalf of the welfare provider, Centrelink, about the conduct of participants in the "work-for-the-dole" scheme.
The president of the AUWU, Owen Bennett, said jobseekers were increasingly contacting the union with stories of abrupt suspensions or penalties to their unemployment or disability allowances. He said some of these decisions were made unfairly, without natural justice and without the companies providing a reasonable opportunity to allow those affected to respond.
"This is pushing these people to a point where they've really got nothing to turn to, and it pushes them over the edge in many cases," Bennett said. "They're putting people in very vulnerable positions to the point where their health and generally their wellbeing is being placed under threat."
A spokesman for the Department of Employment acknowledged that private contractors played a role in assessing the behaviour of income support payment recipients, but said it provided clear requirements and training on how to appropriately monitor them.
Leigh Markovic approached the AUWU after her experiences with her employment provider left her willing to give up her Centrelink payments and become homeless, simply to avoid the stress.
The 21-year-old was part of an employment scheme run by Max Employment. The company is one of the largest private contractors involved in the administration of jobseeker programs.
But she said she found dealing with the company to be difficult, and said some caseworkers had been unsympathetic and had treated her with contempt. She wanted to find a hospitality job but found the work-for-the-dole program to be increasingly stressful.
"I would just start crying at every appointment," she said. "I didn't realise how much worse my mental state was when I was dealing with them. I went in with all these high hopes and goals and just left there feeling stupid, like nobody was going to help me."
Markovic suffers from depression and anxiety, and underwent surgery in August. But she had an appointment scheduled with Max Employment three days after the surgery, which she didn't believe she would be well enough to attend, so contacted the company repeatedly to ask it for another date.
The company sent her a text message, seen by Guardian Australia, advising her that the appointment would be pushed back several weeks. But later on the same day she received another text that said her Centrelink payments had been suspended.
"Hi LEIGH. Pls call us ASAP … as you have missed an appt and your Centrelink payment has been suspended under the law. MAX Employment," it said.
Markovic said she had not been given an opportunity to respond. Bennett said the decision was part of a broader problem: private companies were being delegated the power to make decisions on Centrelink's behalf.
"It puts an extraordinary amount of power in the hands of private companies," he said.
The suspension was revoked a day later by Max Employment, but Markovic said it caused her considerable distress. She finally lodged a complaint with the Department of Education, which oversees complaints relating to the jobseeker contract. Guardian Australia has contacted the department to determine the outcome of the complaint, but it said it could not respond due to privacy reasons.
Max Employment's chief operating officer, Darren Hooper, acknowledged the text message had been sent in error to Markovic due to a different staff member logging the appointment change, and that there had been no impact on her payment because the suspension was revoked a day later.
Hooper said he had apologised to Markovic about the suspension notice. But he said his staff strove to support Markovic and all their clients, and that Max Employment's "whole office service is about creating a positive environment".
"Our staff do act professionally. We provide training, education and we have regular audit checking," he said. "That doesn't mean that on some occasions there aren't errors in judgment and mistakes."
"I would say that we could have serviced her better and that there were actions we took we shouldn't have taken around the appointment."
He also said Max Employment was not contacted by the Department of Employment in relation to Markovic's complaint.
Bennett said while the private companies bore some responsibility, it was ultimately the government that should be overseeing employment schemes more effectively, and that it was "the role of government" to ensure the job scheme was working appropriately.
"All they [the companies] do is just press a button and 10% of their unemployment entitlement can be taken away, and it will take them three months to get it back."
For a person to successfully appeal a decision to cancel their Centrelink payments they must challenge the decision in the administrative appeals tribunal, which can take months.
Legal advice provided to the AUWU said there may be a number of types of "potential unlawfulness" that the government is engaged in, and recommended that they begin to collect documentation from affected jobseekers.
When asked about the AUWU's potential action, a spokesman for the Department of Employment said: "The Department of Human Services has responsibility and delegation to investigate and determine if compliance failures have occurred under social security law."
"The Department of Employment contracts employment services providers to deliver the jobactive programme. When job seekers are required to participate in work for the dole, jobactive providers are required to monitor participation and where non-attendance occurs, follow up with the job seeker and seek to re-engage the job seeker in the activity."
"If jobactive providers are unable to contact the job seeker to discuss the reason for non-attendance, or do not believe the reason given for the non-attendance is satisfactory, they are able to report the non-attendance to DHS. Job seekers then need to make contact with DHS to discuss the reported non-attendance prior to receiving their next fortnightly instalment. DHS will not make a decision until they make contact with the job seeker and investigate the report."
The union and a coalition of other organisations and individuals have signed a joint statement decrying a "punitive social security and growing employment crisis".
The signatories include the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the Australian Council of Social Services, the Anti-Poverty Network South Australia, the Fair Go for Pensioners Coalition and the Guardian Australia columnist Van Badham.
"It is imperative that all parties in the federal parliament take responsibility for Australia's worsening employment crisis and work together to support Australians without work," they wrote.
Although Centrelink is responsible for the direct administration of payments, the examination of complaints about job service providers rests with the Department of Employment. The AUWU is calling for an independent body to handle complaints.

Evil Movie Review: Captain Marvel
Hello Evil Geeks! It's your friendly neighborhood Undiesofwondy here with a new review. It's been a while, but sometimes, movies are so amazing that they practically compel you to write something about them. (Occasionally, they're so terrible that they compel a review too, but this is definitely not the case for this movie.)
Evil Movie Review: Train to Busan
Hello again my faithful deadites. My absence can be explained by my temporary petrification in order to wait out this embarrassing period in our world's history. Sadly one of my wolves licked the stone off of me and I am forced to engage in this world during these dismal times. Luckily there's still lots of media for me to indulge in while holed up in my lair. And this week I watched something so damn good I just have to share it with you.
May the 4th Be With You: Ewoks… I Guess
It's May 4th, and that means one thing is on everyone's mind, Star Wars.
I'm here today to tell you what is, undeniably, the absolute best Star Wars movie of all time. As many of you may be expecting, it's the one with Ewoks. You may be saying to yourself "Well of course guest writer, everyone knows Empire is the best, that's hardly deserving of a full article!" to which I say no! It is not as you expected, Empire Strikes Back, but in fact the second of the Ewok Adventure duology "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor".
Evil Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
This has been a great year for the Harry Potter Universe. While J.K Rowling has said she is "done" with the actual stories about Potter, she has delved in to the world of playwright and screenwriter to experiment in her wonderful world of witches and wizards. The hype surrounding Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has been building for almost two years now. This story features Eddie Redmayne playing Newt Scamander, the famous author of the textbook by the same name as the title. Those of us true Harry Potter fans already read Rowling's version of the text book when it came out in paperback way back when, but now there's a whole story to surround the making of aid textbook. This week I dove back in to the Potterverse head first, and here's my spoiler filled review of them movie.
A Strange Theory About a Gem

Locked inside the Eye of Agamotto, the time Gem allows Strange to defeat the entity Dormammu by trapping him in a Groundhog Day style time loop. For those who have not been keeping track, that leaves us with only one Gem left in the set: the Soul Gem.

Brooke Lannert - Classic Maze Procedure, Atrial Fibrillation
The year was 1975 and Brooke Lannert was born two months prematurely at Prentice Women's Hospital of Northwestern Medicine. Born with two congenital heart defects, Brooke was transferred to Children's Memorial Hospital where she remained for three months after receiving two open heart surgeries. Unfortunately, Brooke's heart problems were not over.
In May of 2002, at the age of 27 Brooke went into atrial fibrillation. "It was like my heart was jumping out of my chest," she recalls. "When I was in atrial fibrillation I just felt horrible. I was very tired and ended up missing a lot of work." Brooke's atrial fibrillation was also emotionally difficult for her husband Daryl. "He was constantly worried about me." Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat that does not allow the atria (upper chambers of the heart) to contract or squeeze normally. When atrial fibrillation is present, the atria "quiver"—potentially causing blood clot formation and decreasing the amount of blood ejected from the heart with each heartbeat.
Under the care of her cardiologist at Lake Forest Hospital, Brooke underwent catheter ablation procedures in 2003 and then again in 2005 at Northwestern Medicine Hospital in hopes of curing the atrial fibrillation. "Each procedure kept me out of atrial fibrillation for about 6-8 months, but the atrial fibrillation always came back."
Brooke did everything in her power to stay out of atrial fibrillation. "I was active, did yoga, and even received acupuncture. I once read that going to bed on a full stomach could cause atrial fibrillation so I made sure I didn't eat at least two hours before I went to bed."
Shortly after Thanksgiving 2007, Brooke stayed home from work for a few days with a complaint of a headache, blurred vision and a "euphoric feeling." Although the decision was made to go see her doctor later that day, it was too late. Brooke's husband found her slumped over their bed, unable to talk. Brooke had suffered a stroke. According to the American Heart Association, about 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial fibrillation due to blood clot formation in the atria.
Daryl called 911 and Brooke was taken to the closest hospital, where the blood clot in her carotid artery that caused her stroke was removed. "It was my cardiologist at Lake Forest hospital that told me it was time to go see Dr. McCarthy." The stroke and a new diagnosis of heart failure left Brooke weak and unable to undergo surgery right away. Finally in May 2007, Patrick M. McCarthy, MD, cleared Brooke for surgery and performed the classic Maze procedure. Brooke has been free of atrial fibrillation since then.
When asked what advice she has for others in atrial fibrillation, "Don't ever give up—and go see Dr. McCarthy at Northwestern. I tell everyone about him and all the other wonderful people and care I received while at Northwestern Medicine."
With no physical deficits from her stroke other than tiring easily, Brooke remains in a normal heart rhythm and is getting stronger every day. In October of 2008, Brooke and 17 of her friends and family raised $6,000 for the American Heart Association and participated in the American Heart Association Heart Walk. Although Brooke was thrilled to walk one mile during the 2008 Heart Walk, "My goal for the 2009 Heart Walk is to walk all three miles."

18. Nor were the Roman affairs administered with less spirit at home than in the field. [2] The censors being freed from the care of letting out the erection of public works, from the low state of the treasury, turned their attention to the re- gulation of men's morals, and the chastisement of vices which sprung up during the war, in the same manner as constitutions broken down by protracted disease, generate other maladies. [3] In the first place, they cited those persons who, after the battle of Cannae, were said to have formed a design of abandoning the commonwealth, and leaving Italy. The chief of these was Lucius Caecilius Metellus, who happened to be then quaestor. [4] In the next place, as neither he nor the other persons concerned were able to exculpate themselves on being ordered to make their defence, they pronounced them guilty of having used words and discourse prejudicial to the state, that a conspiracy might be formed for the abandonment of Italy. [5] [p. 917]After them were cited those persons who showed too much ingenuity in inventing a method of discharging the obligation of their oath, namely, such of the prisoners as concluded that the oath which they had sworn to return, would be [6??] fulfilled by their going back privately to Hannibal's camp, after setting out on their journey. [7] Such of these and of the abovementioned as had horses at the public expense were deprived of them, and all were degraded from their tribes and disfranchised. Nor was the attention of the censors confined to the regulation of the senate and the equestrian order. [8] They erased from the lists of the junior centuries the names of all who had not served during the last four years, unless they were regularly exempted, or were prevented by sickness. [9] Those too, amounting to more than two thousand names, were numbered among the disfranchised, and were all degraded. To this more gentle stigma affixed by the censors, a severe decree of the senate was added, to the effect that all those whom the censor had stigmatized, should serve on foot, and be sent into Sicily to join the remains of the army of Cannae, a class of soldiers whose time of service was not to terminate till the enemy was driven out of Italy. [10] The censors, in consequence of the poverty of the treasury, having abstained from receiving contracts for the repairs of the sacred edifices, the furnishing of curule horses, and similar matters, the persons who had been accustomed to attend auctions of this description, came to the censors in great numbers, and exhorted them to "transact all their business and let out the contracts in the same manner as if there were money in the treasury. [11] That none of them would ask for money out of the treasury before the war was concluded." [12] Afterwards the owners of those slaves whom Tiberius Sempronius had manumitted at Beneventum, came to them, stating that they were sent for by the public bankers, to receive the price of their slaves, but that they would not accept of it till the war was concluded. [13] This disposition on the part of the commons to sustain the impoverished treasury having manifested itself, the property of minors first, and then the portions of widows, began to be brought in; the persons who brought them being persuaded, that their deposit would no where be more secure and inviolable than under the public faith. [14] If any thing was bought or laid in for the widows and minors, an order upon the quaes- [p. 918]tor was given for it.

Humanitarian snapshot: escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip
Since 30 March 2018, the Gaza Strip has witnessed a significant increase in Palestinian casualties in the context of mass demonstrations taking place along Israel's perimeter fence with Gaza. The demonstrations have occurred as part of the 'Great March of Return', a series of mass protests, expected to continue up to 15 May. The large number of casualties among unarmed demonstrators, including a high percentage of demonstrators hit by live ammunition, has raised concerns about excessive use of force. Gaza's health sector has struggled to cope with the mass influx of casualties, due to years of blockade, internal divide and a chronic energy crisis, which have left essential services in Gaza barely able to function.
Key humanitarian needs
- Replenishment of 59 essential drugs, 128 medical disposables and 5 laboratory reagents, needed for the treatment of injuries at public hospitals.
- Funding for NGO hospitals, field medical teams and the Central Blood Bank, including blood donation campaigns.
- Funding to immediately preposition emergency trauma and surgical kits.
- Enhancement of documentation and information collection activities during and after clashes.
- Programs supporting education of children at home or hospitalized due to injuries.
- Awareness-raising interventions targeting families with children injured or traumatized.

Maybe you have health reasons to try a gluten-free diet, whether from a celiac diagnosis or other concerns. The transition can seem a bit daunting, and it can be somewhat more expensive when it comes to traditional baked goods without gluten. However, a frugal, at-home staple for a gluten-free diet is brown rice.
Buying in bulk by the bag, or even bulk bin shopping can help you save on the cost of rice.
We show you how to make perfect rice in this post on frugal cooking.
Here's more about gluten free food choices from the Mayo Clinic.

TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese regulators have found inadequate fireproofing at more than one fifth of the nuclear reactors that went offline after the 2011 Fukushima crisis, a major daily said on Tuesday.
The finding could delay their restart by several years in some cases, the Mainichi Shimbun said.
More than 10 of Japan's 50 reactors, excluding those at Fukushima, have flaws in fireproofing, the paper quoted sources at the industry ministry and the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) as saying.
The Mainichi said these include the use of combustible electrical cables and equipment and machines sited too close together, potentially allowing a fire to spread even though the equipment is indispensable for maintaining safety.
The industry ministry has been investigating the issue while the NRA will soon conduct hearings with power companies, it said.
At some reactors the work to replace cables and renovate facilities could mean a delay of several years in restarting them, it quoted industry ministry sources as saying.
If renovation proves to be too costly, the reactors could be decommissioned, the sources said.
All but two of the nation's reactors remain offline after they were shut for safety checks in the wake of the March 2011 Fukushima meltdowns, sparked by a quake and tsunami.
The pro-business Liberal Democratic Party-led government said last week it would give the green light to restarting any reactors deemed safe by regulators.
New prime minister Shinzo Abe has also voiced his willingness to build new reactors.

Press article fom 12.08.2009
Frankfurt-Hahn Airport has made aviation history. Yesterday, the heaviest single cargo item ever sent via air freight was loaded onto an Antonov 225, the world's largest cargo plane, at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. The generator for a gas power plant in Armenia, including loading frame, weighs in at a record 189.98 tonnes. The entire cargo item is 16.23 metres long and 4.27 metres wide. Together with Charter Service Niklas, the renowned company General Transport AG is responsible for overall coordination of the transport on behalf of Alstom AG (Switzerland). The Antonov took off yesterday evening at 10:38 pm.
"There are many good reasons to handle this transport via Frankfurt-Hahn Airport: firstly, the airport is easily accessible for heavy load transports. Also, I have great confidence in the airport operator's highly professional handling procedures. Moreover, the airport works in a very flexible way and has an infrastructure tailored to suit consignments of this scale," says Fritz P. Mumenthaler, CEO / President of General Transport AG.
Before being loaded in Hahn, the generator was transported by ship from Rotterdam to Longuich on the Moselle River and from there it was brought to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport by a heavy load transport vehicle. In order to transport the entire gas power plant (built by the Alstom company) to Armenia, a total of six flights are required, all of which are to take off from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. Four of the six flights have already been completed with the Antonov 225's 'little sister', the Antonov 124. Since May 2005, this aircraft has already taken off from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport 400 times. The fifth flight took off today with the Antonov 225, which can carry very heavy loads weighing up to 250 tonnes. The final cargo item, a transformer, will also be flown to Yerevan with the Antonov 225 in the next few days.
"This transport, with the largest cargo plane in the world, shows how flexible Hahn Airport is and the great prospects it offers in the cargo sector," says Hendrik Hering, Economy Minister. For years now, Frankfurt-Hahn has numbered among the key cargo bases, both Europe-wide and worldwide. In Germany, Hahn is in fifth place behind Frankfurt, Cologne/Bonn, Leipzig and Munich. The favourable geographical location in the centre of Europe, the 24-hour operating licence, the 3,800-metre-long runway, and the short access and departure routes from the apron to the road and vice versa are among this airport's key competitive advantages. The well-coordinated workflows, the flexible internal logistics at the airport and the presence of offices for all major authorities for the entire approval process in Hahn also impress customers. While at many German airports, freight is only transported as additional cargo in passenger aircraft, at Frankfurt-Hahn, a large number of purely cargo planes are used for imported and exported goods.

What is an Integrated Care System?
Your Local Authorities and local health organisations are working together as Frimley Health and Care to provide you with a joined up health, care and well-being system. This means you will receive the right care at the right time and in the right place.
Population Health
What is a 'population health' approach? And what role do we all play in keeping our communities healthy?
The King's Fund, an independent charity working to improve health and care in England, has produced a short animation to explain what is meant by Population Health.
Integrated care in every community
Our health and care needs are changing, with more people living longer often with multiple long term conditions. This animation explains the challenges facing the health and care system and how partnerships are being formed between the NHS, local government and the third sector to integrate care and better meet our health and care needs now and in the future.
Building Healthy Partnerships
Frimley Health and care has been successful in becoming part of the Building Healthy Partnerships Programme which will help the system to co-design projects and initiatives that will help people to live well.

Highlights - January 2015
|January 2015
Commission Highlights
Vol. 21 - No. 1
Check out the SWRPC Highlights Archive for previous issues.
The Planning Commission's Winter Meeting is set for February 10, 2015 at Papagallos Restaurant in Swanzey, NH. Our topic of discussion will be Renewable Energy Options for Communities and Rodney Bartlett, Department of Public Works Director for the Town of Peterborough will be our guest speaker. Rodney was instrumental in developing a program for the Town that allows it to purchase green power to meet the electric needs of municipal buildings and led to them receiving the 2014 Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The program includes a social beginning at 5:00 p.m. that includes light refreshments. Advanced registration is required. For additional information or to register, please contact Becky Baldwin of Commission staff.
On January 13th, the Planning Commission's Board of Directors adopted, "Monadnock Region Future: A Plan for Southwest New Hampshire." This document, which is advisory in nature, is intended to serve as a resource for the Region's communities as well as organizations, institutions, and other entities with an interest in planning and preparing for the future. It describes a number of trends and conditions impacting the Region such as our aging population, post-recession economy, outmigration of youth and families, increase in severe storm events, to mention a few. It also presents information on opportunities for communities to address these potential challenges while sustaining and enhancing community vitality, economic prosperity, stewardship of natural and cultural resources, and preparedness for emergencies and natural disasters.
What separates this Plan from those developed in years past, is the extensive level of public involvement and its integrative approach to planning. Much of the information contained in the Plan reflects the thoughts, ideas, and opinions gathered through a range of outreach activities through the project's three-year timeframe. In addition, the Plan focuses on the interconnections between factors, such as housing, transportation, economic opportunity, and environmental quality, which have an impact on overall quality of life and well-being. This integrative and comprehensive approach to planning helps to highlight the relationships between diverse elements and forces in communities, as well as opportunities for collaboration.
The Planning Commission anticipates that this Plan will stimulate discussion, action, and promote regional thinking and coordination among the Region's communities, organizations, institutions, and others. To view the Plan or for more information, please visit: www.swrpc.org/regionalplan or contact Tara Germond of Commission staff.
On January 22nd, SWRPC staff attended an event in Keene where a woodstove changeout program was announced for residents of Cheshire County. The changeout will improve air quality by reducing pollution, especially fine particulate matter, which comes from older, less efficient woodstoves. The program, administered by the American Lung Association New England, will distribute up to $425,000 in vouchers for residents wishing to trade in their non-EPA certified woodstove or wood boiler for a new wood, pellet, or gas appliance. Participating vendors have received educational outreach materials created by SWRPC and the Greater Keene Air Quality Education and Outreach Campaign, an effort supported by the NH Department of Environmental Services and local stakeholders including Cheshire Medical Center, the City of Keene, the Greater Monadnock Public Health Network, and Keene State College. For more information about the woodstove changeout program, contact Michelle Edwards at [email protected] or visit http://www.lungne.org/woodstove. For more information about the Greater Keene Air Quality Education and Outreach Campaign, please contact Henry Underwood, of Commission staff or visit www.swrpc.org/airquality.
During January, SWRPC published an informational webpage regarding the proposed Northeast Energy Direct (NED) project. The natural gas pipeline has been proposed along a route through southern New Hampshire, including seven Southwest Region communities. The page features information about the project, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the NH Site Evaluation Committee. For more information, please visit www.swrpc.org/pipeline.
With the winter storm season in full swing, many residents are interested in preparing for winter storm events. The NH Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management's ReadyNH website can help residents improve their preparedness for disasters. The website includes information on different types of disasters, suggestions for emergency kits and family plans, and how to sign up for emergency alerts. It also contains resources that municipalities can use to help residents become more prepared, such as sample Public Service Announcements for TV or radio. For more information, please visit the website at www.readynh.gov or contact NH HSEM staff at (603) 271-2231.
The NH Office of Energy and Planning (OEP) has just released their latest edition of the Planning Board Handbook. This handbook is designed to serve as an introduction to the organization, powers, duties and procedures of Planning Boards in New Hampshire. It is a resource to acquaint board members and other interested persons with the basic responsibilities of the Planning Board and to suggest procedures by which the work of the board can be carried out in a fair and effective manner. The handbook is available on-line or in hard copy. To download a free copy, visit: www.nh.gov/oep/planning/resources/planning-board-handbook.htm. To purchase a hard copy, please call OEP at (603) 271-2155.

HAMPTON -- Rita Colby's second graders at Centre School have been very busy writers lately, thanks to an annual class project entitled "Write Around the Community."
The project, according to Colby, "is built upon the essential questions of 'What experiences and factors lead to success in writing?' and 'What impact does writing have on our lives?'"
Throughout their involvement in the project, the students welcome a variety of guest speakers from many professions from around the Seacoast community. Sitting in a circle on the carpeted meeting area of their classroom, they listen attentively to the day's speaker.
During their appointed one-hour visit, each guest discusses with Colby's class the impact writing has made in their life. They are also asked to share their writing experiences while growing up, tell how they use writing in their present vocations, and offer their thoughts or plans for future written endeavors.
After the guest speaker's presentation, there is a question-and-answer session around the circle. Then, the students sit at their desks and write in their journals, recording their memories of the presentations. While this is taking place, the guest is interviewed one-on-one by a student selected ahead of time.
When all the writing is completed, the students have the opportunity to read their entries to the speaker, who autographs the journal entries after listening to them.
As the project comes to its conclusion, the student interviews soon become part of a bound book that Colby compiles using their work. Once the book is published it lets everyone read about all the fun writing experiences the students have enjoyed and the guests they have met while they "Write Around the Community."

One thing was certain. 2008 was going to be the year to pay homage to Angkor Wat. And if Cambodia were part of the itinerary, we might as well throw in Vietnam into the mix. But with only a limited amount of time (and leaves available to be sacrificed), going to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap in Cambodia and Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi in Vietnam was a stretch. It was almost impertinent suggesting including Laos to the jaunt. Phnom Penh was quickly scrapped off the list while the charms of Halong Bay in Hanoi proved harder to resist. With all the considerations, a compromise had to be reached, as follows: enter through Ho Chi Minh then to Siem Reap and finally exit from Bangkok. Thus the 3-Country Odyssey was set in stone.
Author's Note
The blog is awfully long, to say the least. At length, this blog's breadth is comprehensive— covering all the 10 days spent traversing Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap and Bangkok. It follows one person's POV except when the author was obviously absent in particular instances. (Easily noted by a diffferent font). Historical facts have been thrown in for added depth. The storytelling retains the essence of the "Footprints Across" series which is to chronicle the mundane and magical in equal measure.

CLIENT: The Posting House
DATE: April 2008
JOB: Interior directional signage and exterior promotional signage for a new apartment development in Southport.
The Posting House is a residential development in Southport, consisting of 1-3 bedroom apartments combining the front of the old Post Office building on Lord Street, with a new development to the rear.
Innov8 worked with design agency CL3 to produce comprehensive interior directional signage, displaying floors and directing visitors to apartments. Signage was also required to promote the development and raise its profile in the local area, encouraging a call to action.
Innov8 recommended appropriate materials in-keeping with the style of the development, producing a number of interior directional signs and a range of exterior signage, from brass plaques, to car park signage, to large format banners and flags. Innov8 made various site visits in preparation for the job, and spent a day on site working alongside CL3 installing the signage ready for the launch event.
The desired look was achieved by using the most appropriate materials, and effective and professional installation, to ensure all items were in place and correct for the launch.
