Good news story; Girl rescued after 15 days under rubble in Haiti; -- (link) - Loyola Jan 27, 15:34 14
- "The rescue brings the total number of people saved to 133." That's so terribly disappointing. - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 15:37 9
  - Sad, yes. "Disappointing" sells short the amazing efforts of those who worked dilligently to save those 133. - musubi Jan 27, 15:41
  - I wish it was more, of course; but, with so many fully collapsed buildings, it wasn't promising. -- nm - b. Jan 27, 15:39

- And maybe one happy dog. - the liioulu with more snow and salt Jan 27, 15:36 1
  - i know in other cases live people hide in the rubble and they let the dogs 'find' them, so the dogs don't get depressed. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 15:39

David Stern drops the hammer on both Crittendon and Arenas; suspended for the year - Will Hunting Jan 27, 15:29 14

        Honestly, I'm only confident of a couple things being true in this thing. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 15:56
