The President declared a state of emergency and mass evacuation was forces as the fire spread across San Diego, Long Beach, Malibu, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Burbank and Santa Barbara.  Well, like all natural disasters the San Diego Wildfire has probably by now taken complete control over the space on your television, newspapers, magazines, &amp; even your computer. If you're annoyed at being so bombarded by information about the fire--here's something interesting for you. Statistics reveal that  out of ten wildfires are caused strictly by human activities. The wind Santa Ana, in this case only plays its role in spreading the fire.  Crazy as it is that a single human act can cause such a natural disaster, there is hardly anything you can do about it!!

First and most important rule of winter survival: You should never leave home without an emergency kit in your car. Even a -mile trip could turn deadly should you become stranded. Hypothermia and frostbite are the two most common injuries that are sustained in winter emergencies. Hypothermia can kill you and frostbite can leave you permanently disfigured or worse. Simple precautions taken before winter sets in could save your life. In your vehicle you should keep a minimum of one gallon of water. Since fluids freeze at  degrees it is best to store two containers half full and allow for the freezing water to expand. Dry high calorie and high protein snacks need to be included. Power Bars, granola bars, nuts, dried fruit, and semi sweet chocolate are just a few of the foods that have a high calorie and protein count. Other items ca...]]></content:encoded>

But one thing has changed in this news recently. It used to be that the news about criminals who jump the border illegally, steal identities, and skirt numerous other laws was dominated simply by the crimes they were committing. Now those stories still exist and are getting more play than ever and rightfully so but they are joined by a spattering of stories about how now these criminals are living in fear of being caught and punished and how they and their enablers are upset about it.Well Halle-freaking-luiah!What a novel concept!

It's a Thursday night and after a long day of meetings and breakout sessions the tour bus is buzzing with industry facts and gossip as you're carted from time square to Battery park in New York City. In my case I had been in the industry a little over  years and this was my first big public presentation.  I had been pitching and meeting quite successfully under the watchful eye of the company owner and had garnered a seemingly bright future. I chatted calmly with a group of executives from my customers, but this night was as much social as anything , many of them had their spouses in tow.

As an African-American young male adult, I have experienced ups and downs just like everyone else. I have had opportunities that I have both taken advantage of and wasted just as everyone else has. But as an African-American, I experience the dark side of American society on a somewhat regular basis. The basic things in life seem to be harder for Black people to acheive consistently.

Though some insurance policies qualify hurricanes as&quot;acts of God,&quot; the resultant flooding, apparently, does not. What, exactly, is an act of God? Some people argue that hurricanes and other weather-relateddisasters are not acts of God, but simply the nature of nature,which can be cruel, unforgiving and arbitrary. Don't believe it? Watch an animal show. The ethereal gracepossessed by a gazelle doesn't preclude a lion from eating it. Concerning the Gulf Coast, some are speculating that divineforces may be at play. They point out that the region's historyof voodoo, loose living and the riverboat casinos dotting thecoast of Biloxi might have caused God to look the other way fora moment while Satan wreaked havoc on humankind.

        I found the January ,  episode of Oprah quite interesting. I don't watch the show too often, but couldn't resist this episode because of its topic. Of particular interest to me was where a Mr. Karl Muth, an investment banking heir, discussed how some of the public housing was being converted into condominiums.

Of particular interest to me was where a Mr. Karl Muth, an investment banking heir, discussed how some of the public housing was being converted into condominiums. It was a snippet of a documentary being made by one of the heirs of the Johnson and Johnson company. Mr. Muth's comments snagged my attention because the housing changes he spoke of are threatening to happen here in New Orleans. What might stop the trend from occurring here is that several of our public housing buildings might actually be historical landmarks. Other than that, there are also plans to tear down some of the public housing in stages and rebuild homes that will hopefully create mixed income neighborhoods. Residents who lived in the demolished public housing have first dibs at securing the newly built homes and apartments. The city has already successfully achiev...]]></content:encoded>

The federal government has not been there for these people.&quot;Said by former Senator and Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards as he stood in front of a flooded out Ninth Ward home that had not been touched since Hurricane Katrina. It doesn't take the smartest person to realize that Edwards' trip to New Orleans to announce that he plans to run for President in  is part of the political game. But as a Katrina survivor, I believe that he spoke the painful truth. To suddenly lose your home, to lose the job you held for years, to lose the way of life you were used to living, a way of life that kept you from having to depend on the government to help you live it... I wouldn't wish being a Katrina survivor on my worse enemy if I had one.I keep hearing all the news reports about FEMA being defrauded of millions and even possibly a billion dollars, but few storie...]]></content:encoded>

These adjusters are available to respond to disasters wherever they are and whenever they are needed. Working as an extension of insurance company's claims department, adjusters assist the company's policyholders in evaluating and preparing their claims for damages.&quot;Hugh: &quot;I think that you have created a slogan that pretty well says it: &quot;Going where needed, when needed.&quot;Howard: &quot;Yes, that is true and it has certainly been true in my case.
