Even though flooding only occurred in the basement, which was cleaned up and ready to reopen in October of 2005, the famous Charity Hospital in New Orleans remains closed in 2008 as the Louisiana State University (LSU) systems office and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) squabble over plans to build a newer, prettier hospital—a project which would ]]></description>

While president-elect Barack Obama acknowledges that the US economy depends on millions of undocumented workers living in the shadows, the issue of immigration reform has itself remained in the shadows. The question of how attitudes toward 11.9 million undocumented immigrant workers will or or won't change in a workplace of diminished opportunities for everyone needs to be called.Well, there are those with ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Americans have been feeling it for months, but according to new survey from the National Association for Business Economics, 48 out of 50 economists now officially agree: the United States is in a recession.

		<description><![CDATA[While Barack Obama's website acknowledges that the US economy that depends on millions of undocumented workers living in the shadows, the issue of immigration reform has remained there - in the shadows, glaring only in its absence from the Presidential debates and campaign coverage. Nonethless as the economy plunges ever deeper into crisis, the question remains as to how attitudes toward 11.9 million undocumented immigrant workers will or or won't change ]]></description>

In the National Section there's a story on states cutting Services for the Elderly and disabled.  With the economy shrinking, the state of Alabama, for example, has stopped funding homemaker services for 12,000 people. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The topic – how progressives can bring pressure to bear on an Obama presidency  – is an urgent one. We have a terrific line up of speakers to address it. And there's a jazz/blues trio to play in the bar, so politics can morph seamlessly into a party, just as they did two Tuesdays ago. Be great to see you there.
