Glen Beck Rally on 08 28 2010. Glen Beck has been trying to hijack the civil rights movement. His latest attempt was a rally that he called restoring honor. He held his rally of Tea Party nuts on the very steps of the Lincoln Memorial and on the very day that Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I have a dream speech”. Beck claims he wasn’t aware that on that very day August 28, 47 years earlier Dr. King I had given his speech in front of the statute of the only man who had the intestinal fortitude to attempt to break the chains of slavery. Today Beck is hell bent on re-securing those chains on minorities.

The 2010 Pakistan floods began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, lower Punjab and Balochistan regions of Pakistan. Present estimates indicate that over two thousand people have died and over a million homes have been destroyed since the flooding began. The United Nations estimates that more than twenty million people are injured or homeless as a result of the flooding, exceeding the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. However, the death count in each of those three disasters was significantly higher than the number of people killed so far in the floods.

http://budurl.com/TheSecretMoneyMakers - Glenn Beck Rally Attendance: How Many People Were At Restoring Honor Rally? — Tens of thousands of people linked to the right wing of the American political spectrum took over Washington on Saturday for a demonstration dubbed “Restoring Honor Rally.”

The organizer of the event, radio and Fox News host Glenn Beck said that 300,000 to 500,000 people had gathered.

But according to an estimate based on aerial photographs, and CBS-TV only 87,000 supporters were in attendance. The former Republican candidate for Vice-President Sarah Palin, who some say will run in 2012, also addressed the crowd.

It’s been more than three weeks since the miners were trapped in a mine in Chile. The authorities are planning a rescue mission. But for the families of the miners it’s been a long wait.

Hundreds have been evacuated from their homes in Kanpur district of India’s Uttar Pradesh state, after the swollen Ganga River burst its banks, flooding several villages.

Authorities have evacuated villages on the banks of the river. River Ganga has been flowing over the danger mark, after days of incessant heavy rain.

[Prahlad Singh, Sub-divisional District Magistrate, Kanpur]:
“After flooding the area the water-level of River Ganga is now constant. It is 113.120 point, and it has not risen since yesterday. But the waterlogging that has taken place in the village is causing trouble in the area. Wherever the water has accumulated in earthen huts, people are being shifted to safer places at higher altitude. We are shifting the children and their cattle as well and arranging for their food and shelter.”

Massive flooding in recent months has disturbed normal life in the region.

[Ram Ji, Boat Owner]:
“People are still being taken out. I have ferried about 500 people. There are more people coming in search of their relatives. They are seeing who has drowned and who survived.”

Lack of proper infrastructure in most areas outside Kanpur makes arable land and residential areas bordering the river vulnerable to water damage in times of heavy rains. This in turn hurts harvests and worsens food shortages.

The monsoon this year has caused extensive floods in several parts of northern India like Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh causing devastation to life and property

BJP on August 29 asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to make a statement in the Parliament on the reported deployment of missiles by China along the international border with India. www.istream.in

The 33 trapped Chilean miners will have to aid their own escape, clearing thousands of tons of rock that will fall as the rescue hole is drilled, the engineer in charge of drilling said Sunday. (Aug. 29)

This is the 2nd completed section of the future High Speed Jinghu Railway, the first being the Beijing to Tianjin Railway. The CRH2C trains were very comfortable overall. Though first class can be quite expensive, it is more preferred by the people of China (yes it’s harder to get Deluxe Class ‘First Class in the USA’ than First/Second ‘Business/Economy Class” Class).

With 33 Chilean miners facing months of confinement, NASA is sending a team of experts to Chile on Monday to supply the government with tips on how it keeps astronauts aboard the space station both physically and mentally fit.

Dr. Michael Duncan is NASA’s deputy chief medical officer.

[Dr. Michael Duncan, NASA Deputy Chief Medical Officer]:
“NASA has had a long experience in dealing with isolated environments, in particular currently on the space station. We train and plan contingencies for emergencies.”

The miners were found alive one week ago - 17 days after a cave-in at a small gold and copper mine in Chile’s remote north, but it could take up to four months to dig them out.

[Dr. Michael Duncan, NASA Deputy Chief Medical Officer]:
“NASA is providing advice. The Chileans are very well organized. They have a lot of resources at their disposal. They have done a lot for the miners and in fact the miners have done a lot for themselves underground to show the will to survive and to organize themselves to be able to survive this long. So our plan is to go down and provide the advice that the Chileans have requested in the areas of nutritional support and behavioral health support.”

The 33 miners have not yet been given an exact time-frame, but have been promised they will back with their families by Christmas.
