...instead of slum schools, a streamlined city government and, most important, rebuilt levees. But that "audacious" action plan laid out last week by Mayor Ray Nagin's 17-member Bring New Orleans Back Commission has met with a storm of controversy, not just from residents of the poor Ninth Ward but also from wealthier and whiter areas like Lakeview. Homeowners are infuriated by a recommendation to halt rebuilding--indeed, to stop issuing permits--for four months, until May 20, in the worst-hit neighborhoods. Joe Canizaro, the millionaire developer in charge of the urban-planning effort, believes the delay will...
...throwing the puck away without looking.”The lead was short-lived, as UNH quickly regained the advantage with two goals of its own within four minutes of the Harvard strike. Senior goalie Ali Boe, who finished with 26 saves, was beat by a nimble Sadie Wright-Ward to tie the game and surrendered the game-winner when she went the wrong way on a 2-on-1 breakaway.“We continue to get the same effort from Ali Boe,” Stone said. “I thought she did a great job tonight...
...course, ignoring the cries of the several lobbyist groups that have balked at such a ban will not be easy. Those areas that would likely be barred from resettlement would comprise New Orleans’ hardest-hit eastern half—namely New Orleans East, the Lower Ninth Ward, and Lakeview. Citing the injustice in barring the resettlement of this predominantly black eastern half, many groups have argued for the need of these residents to return to their native neighborhoods in order to rebuild the social and cultural foundations that were swept away in Katrina’s wake...
...people before the vats made enough vaccine to meet demand. Ultimately, vaccine makers may need to go straight to the source: the flu virus' genetic code. By extracting snippets of viral RNA and transforming them into DNA strands, scientists can in theory create a template for antibodies that can ward off flu. Researchers at PowderMed in Oxford, England, have created a DNA cassette into which they can insert genes from whatever flu virus is going around and, they say, have a vaccine ready in less than three months...
...That WFP estimate covers only the cost of food to ward off starvation (the quake destroyed the villagers' regular winter stores). Helicopters cost up to $16,000 an hour to operate, and much more money is needed to rebuild homes and schools and to provide medical care for the sick and injured. The weather has been relatively dry so far. But with temperatures in areas above 1,500 m now dipping to -8?C, shelter is an immediate concern. There aren't enough tin sheets, a construction staple, to go around. At higher elevations, only about 10% of residents have...
