Re: 7.0 in Haiti!!!
What is worrying is that it was very shallow, if it had more depth it wouldn't be so dangerous, is there any reports of damages?

Haiti goverment ends search and rescue operations
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583706,00.html
The statement from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs came a day after an Israeli team reported pulling a man out of the debris of a two-story home and relatives said an elderly woman had been rescued. Experts say the chance of saving trapped people begins diminishing after 72 hours, but one mother still missing her children said it's too soon to give up.

Help Haiti! The situation is very bad for poor Haiti. Donate now... It's easy since you can now 'text' with your cellphone/mobile (see homepage). Otherwise visit websites of the Red Cross, United Nations, Clinton Foundation, Wycleff Jean's Yele Haiti, and many others as listed on MSNBC. Just do it. Now. No excuses. Thanks, Gert
People Registry - The International Committee of the Red Cross has an on-line database where you can register yourself and say that you are ok or you can search for the status of your relatives. The website is called: Family News Network of the International Committee of the Red Cross. You can also use Google's Person Finder application which is very easy to use. However, I would have preferred just one central list, instead of two different ones. Of the two I would pick the Red Cross one, since they also have an office on the ground in Port au Prince where people can walk in and register. -Gert
Operational Challenges Reliefweb.int has an interesting map showing the humanitarian operational challenges. It looks indeed not easy to get the relief to the right places. So although it seems like 'ages' for aid to arrive, I am sure people are doing their best to get stuff moving. There are some more interesting articles regarding the quake on the Reliefweb.int website. -Gert

I was in a small town outside of Port au Prince during the recent earthquake. Though the ground was shaking, I felt the palpable faith of the Haitian people. I heard them wail in the streets as they grieved the deaths of family and friends. I watched them walk into town lonely, lost and hungry. I saw people who were starving share their food with strangers. Through it all I heard them praise God and depend on his personal presence in their lives. We sang the song Great is thy faithfulness (the lyrics appear in bold letters below) together on the morning that we were evacuated from the city. I will never forget that moment for as long as I live.

Great is Thy faithfulness
I see Your face in their trusting eyes and white tooth grins….
They are starving…..Jesus can you see them?
I hear Your joy in their lilting voices…
They are hurting….Jesus can you hear them?
I sense Your love in their gracious hearts and humble service…
They are dying….Jesus can you feel them?
I feel your hands in their work worn fingers and giving spirits…..
They are lonely….Jesus can you touch them?
Great is Thy faithfulness
I feel their faith in Your mercy and covenant…
Jesus they are thankful.
I feel their passion when they praise Your name…
Jesus they are faithful.
I feel their trust in their treasure in heaven…
Jesus they are waiting.
All that I needeth Thy hand hath provideth
Yeah though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death
they fear no evil, for Thou art with them.
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort them….
And they shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Great is thy faithfulness
Jesus loves them this I know.

Re: 7.0 in Haiti!!!
I really hope that all the collected money helps to build a better Haiti than it was before the earthquake though I know it will be a hard task but not impossible.

My favorite performance was "Lean On Me" performed by Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow and Keith Urban. They were great and I think that they should collaborate on something else together.
