Geek and Destroy

homepage of espn college football today: 

GEEK AND DESTROY
The SEC’s smallest school, and only private university, is known more for its academics than its football. Fans were celebrating the Commodores first appearance in the Top 25 since 1984 even before the game started, sporting signs that boasted “Geeks rule.”
hahaha!!

Steve and Bethany (from realverse.com – a fun new project I’ve been involved with over the past few months) are doing a new segment for hotair.com called Press Play. This is my favorite one so far … (can’t embed their vids … so click to go to their site and view it.)

I suppose you can find racism anywhere if you’re looking *really* hard

HCA’s timely response to Katrina

// September 8th, 2005 // No Comments » // tagged: >

My husband, Steve, works for HCA (he is one of their geeks) and spends at least 3 days a week traveling all over the country to the different hospitals they own or are about to take over. He has kept me updated on HCA's evacuation efforts post-Katrina – and yesterday a company-wide email was sent with details about their response and action after the hurricane. It is nice to read something good – they really stepped up and got things done, and not only for their own hospitals – but they helped another hospital evacuate as well.

Realizing that New Orleans could be flooded for weeks, HCA organized a fleet of 20 helicopters from as far away as Chicago. Crews were positioned in cities such as Baton Rouge, Mobile, Ala., and Pensacola, Fla., so they could reach New Orleans quickly after the storm …
The [Tulane University Hospital and Clinic] evacuation included close to 200 patients and over 1,200 employees and staff. HCA offered the 20 helicopters to assist with the evacuation of nearby Charity Hospital's two facilities, as well as University Medical Center, which are not affiliated with HCA. As many as 50 Charity Hospital patients, some severely ill and on ventilators, have already been evacuated by HCA

Kudos to HCA for being prepared and getting the job done … (I’ve posted the full press release in the extended entry – it’s an interesting article.)
