Pakistanis flee new monsoon floods in south

On this day in Pakistan,some 200,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in the Thatta area of Sindh province, where dozens of villages are flooded.
In the north, volunteers have begun to help to clean up the flood. The UN has approved for more helicopters to reach 800,000 people who are cut off from power.
Doctors in many areas are struggling to cope with the spread of water-born diseases such as diarrhoea and cholera. These diseases spread quickly through water, infecting the residents.
Five million Pakistanis have no shelter, and need tents or plastic sheeting to protect them from the sun.
The UN says more than 17 million people have been affected by the floods, and about 1.2 million homes have been destroyed.
The vast body of water that has swept the length of Pakistan is now threatening previously unaffected communities in Sindh province, at the country's southern tip.
Overnight, the authorities have been organizing a mass evacuation from the town of Thatta - near the mouth of the Indus delta - and surrounding villages.
At the moment, all that stands between locals and the vast weight of water is an embankment, which has started to crack in places. If it bursts, the whole area could be submerged.
Likely 800,000 people are still stranded, the UN says - many in the northwest region, where roads and bridges have been swept away.
I think we should all help in some way. I encourage you to donate to a non profit charity that will help the victims of these floods. We have all been fortunate enough to not be in a crisis like this and we should help people who are and have been in one. Most things can be replaced but some like memories can never be erased.

Steam for Mac.

Steam is such a change for the Mac industry because now mac is going to be a gaming computer like a PC. Most PC people don't like macs because it can't play video games on there computer, Well PC people in this world now you download MW2 you know ( Modern warfare 2 ) And e.c.t. More people are going to switch from PC to Mac because of steam. Steam is going to release a lot more games you just have to wait for it. Today or for about 7 more day they have a free game called portal that is going to bring a lot of downloads. Portal is only free for a limited time because it's a demo so you better get it now. It's going to be so great because you don't have to switch mac OS to PC window 7.

Macs is the way go for the long run. If it's 200 dollars more for a mac and a PC is 200 dollars less you might as well get a mac because when Microsoft Brings in a new OS and you have to pay like 350 dollars just for the OS and they are just trying to just earn money off you guys come on do go with PC now they have Steam a new generation of gaming in one program.
