What we're doing today is announcing in effect a bridging program to help families with cash assistance and services and to help people who've lost their jobs or been displaced from their homes by virtue of this tragedy.

I am pleased. It played tough again today with the cold and the wind. Fortunately I got off to a good start and made some putts early.

Help, Hands; For I have no Lands.

Microsoft is unveiling a major reorganization today to help get Vista out the door. Some of the major changes include the appointing of three new officers to the three major divisions. The Microsoft Platform Products & Services Division will be led by Kevin Johnson and Jim Allchin as co-presidents; Jeff Raikes has been named president of the Microsoft Business Division; and Robbie Bach has been named as president of Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division. In addition, the company said Ray Ozzie will expand his role as chief technical officer by assuming responsibility for helping drive its software-based services strategy and execution across all three divisions.

Then we could all afford them. To install a generator or solar panel today you need specialist help. You should be able to buy one at B&Q and stick it in yourself.

As a doctor, my first instincts are to help, and I was privileged to offer my assistance today at the scene of this horrible accident. My heart goes out to this family, which must face the start of the new year with this terrible tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
