Great article, Patrick. It's interesting that it coincides with the announcement of a complete chimp DNA sequence. From the journal Nature: 500,000-year-old teeth shed light on evolutionary split between humans and chimps. http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050829/full/050829-10.html Patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com

Actually, quite a lot of the clothing donations to DI are used for international relief. I took a tour of Welfare Square a couple of years ago and was astounded. I highly recommend it to anyone. Our tour guide did a Pretty good job of explaining how the donations and canneries work for local, national, and international relief.

Hurricane Relief
by Barney B. 31 Aug '05

To me, the amazing part of all this is that the Federal Government waited until last night to even begin gearing up to help out. After all, they were the ones sending out the warnings as of last Friday. I find it difficult to think about the animals given the news that there maybe hundreds perhapse even thousands of humans dead just in New Orleans. Barney
