Jerry, Dom had a story on the West High Cowboys the other night and it sounded like you might have attended school there. If so what year did you graduate from West.

In your report regarding the damage in Shreveport, LA, the accompanying map showed Bossier, LA south of town. The correct name of the town is Bossier City, LA and is located on the north bank of the Red River just across the river from Shreveport.

Jerry,
Please read this article (it's not the full article) I have a very ill husband with extremely damaged lungs due to COPD and two blood clots that went to his lungs last summer. I am still waiting to find out when he can get the H1N1 vaccine, If he gets H1N1 it will probably kill him because it is a known fact it affects the respiratory system. If he ends up on a ventilator again like last summer he probably won't come off. He's a miracle he survived that to now have this stress of the H1N1. I am outraged at this. I want the prisoners taken care but not before someone who is on the high priority list.

By DAVID McFADDEN - Associated Press Writ
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico— Terrorism suspects held at the Guantanamo Bay naval base will soon get swine flu vaccines, despite complaints that American civilians should have priority, a military spokesman said Sunday.

Army Maj. James Crabtree, a spokesman for the U.S. jail facility in southeast Cuba, said the doses should start arriving this month, with guards and then inmates scheduled for inoculations.

He acknowledged there may be an "emotional response" from critics who argue that terror suspects should not be allocated swine-flu medications while members of the U.S. public are still waiting due to a vaccine shortage.

But he said U.S. military officials are "responsible for the health and care of the detainee population."

Medical personnel at Guantanamo requested the doses, but Crabtree said he did not know how many.

Detainees will be vaccinated "entirely on a voluntary basis," he said. "There is always going to be a segment of the population that is going to refuse," either due to anxiety about a shot or to "distrust of our motivations."

The top House Republican, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, told CNN's "State of the Union" show on Sunday that he does not agree with the H1N1 vaccination plans for detainees at Guantanamo.

"I don't think it's a good idea. The administration probably didn't think it would be very popular either; that's why they announced it on Friday night," Boehner said.

The Miami Herald first reported about the vaccination plans on Wednesday.

Health officials have recommended that people in high-risk groups receive the swine flu vaccination first. There has been heated debate in several U.S. states about where prisoners should fall in the pecking order of vaccine recipients.

Jerry mentioned something about powder baby formula last night. I would like to know how to find that story on line.
