I just read an article about something that's going on with the homeless in NY. They are actually paying for one way tickets to fly their homeless to other states, or even other countries. Incredible.

Backward and Forward
My computer was killed by a virus about a month ago. I've rebuilt this old machine so many times that I'm used to nuking and rebuilding my whole system and OS, but inevitably, there is always one thing I forget. In this case, I forgot to save my internet favorites, so I've lost a lot of the homeless and veteran related web links that I had found over this past year. That's the bad news. The good news is that I got in touch with someone from KCAL news. She read my mission statement and gave me her address at work, so that she may forward it to her newsdesk. I hope it helps get this going.

LA ranked as America's "meanest city" towards homeless..
Well, another big turnout in LA, this time for none other than the "King of Pop" memorial service. Nice that LA can foot the estimated $1.5 million bill. Villaraigosa comes through again. In the meantime, studies have listed Los Angeles as the nation's worst in its treatment of homeless as criminals. You can read the LA Times report here.
