WEBSITE DESIGN & MAINTENANCE FROM THE GOVERNOR Phoenix -
Earlier this week, the nation received unexpected news: half of the nation’s supply of flu vaccine will not be available because it may be tainted.
In order to ensure that there is enough for those who are especially vulnerable to the flu, health officials and the governor's office are urging healthy adults to consider foregoing a flu shot this year so that children and adults in high-risk groups can receive the vaccine.
Those who need the vaccine the most are babies and toddlers ages 6-23 months, people 65 or older, anyone with a chronic condition such as heart or lung disease, pregnant women, nursing home residents, children on aspirin therapy, health care workers who care for high-risk groups, and anyone who cares for or lives with babies younger than 6 months.
Please don't hesitate to contact my office at (800) 253-0883 or visit my website at www.governor.state.az.us.

TRIBES NOT GETTING CASINO MONEY Phoenix -
A recent news blurb escaped the attention of most people, but you don't want to miss this lead paragraph: "A lobbyist who billed American Indian tribes tens of millions of dollars for work on casino issues refused Wednesday to answer questions from the Senate Indian Affairs Committee." Jack Abramoff, who called his Native American clients "morons," "monkeys" and "stupid idiots" in e-mails, but charged them $66 million for lobbying, is also accused of manipulating two tribal elections to ensure his firm would get lobbying contracts with those tribes. Once again, we see the corruption involved in casino gambling, and the continued exploitation of Native Americans with the false promise that casinos will solve all their problems.

WEATHER FACT: The ocean affects weather storing and releasing the sun's heat. Water can hold about 4 times as much energy as air can, and there's a lot more of it. The mass of all the earth's atmosphere equals a layer of water only 33 feet deep. More than half of the sun's energy that reaches the earth is absorbed, reflected or dissipated in the atmosphere: only 43% strikes the surface, but it causes all our weather.
