Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans fled a flooded region of the Gulf coast Friday, jumping from rooftops into rescue helicopters, scrambling into boats or swimming out through murky brown water, while Mexico's President Felipe Calderon called it one of Mexico's worst recent natural disasters.

VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico - Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans fled a flooded region of the Gulf coast Friday, jumping from rooftops into rescue helicopters, scrambling into boats or swimming out through murky brown water. President Felipe Calderon called the flooding in Tabasco state one of Mexico's worst recent natural disasters, and pledged to rebuild.

A week of heavy rains caused rivers to overflow, drowning at least 80 percent of the oil-rich state. Much of the state capital, Villahermosa, looked like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, with water reaching to second-story rooftops and desperate people awaiting rescue.

At least one death was reported and nearly all services, including drinking water and public transportation, were shut down. The flood affected more than 900,000 people in the state of 2 million — their homes flooded, damaged or cut off by high water.

A 10-inch natural gas pipeline sprang a leak after flooding apparently washed away soil underneath it, but it was unclear if other facilities operated by the state-run Petroleos Mexicanos were damaged or if oil production was affected.

Workers tried to protect Villahermosa's famous Olmec statues by placing sandbag collars around their enormous stone heads, and built sandbag walls to hold back the Grijalva River in the state capital.

But the water rose quickly, surprising residents used to annual floods and forcing soldiers to evacuate the historic city center. The dikes failed Thursday night, and water swamped the capital's bus station and open-air market.

Rain gave way to sunshine Friday, but tens of thousands of people were still stranded on rooftops or in the upper floors of their homes. Rescue workers used tractors, helicopters, jet skis and boats to ferry people to safety, while others swam through water infested by poisonous snakes to reach higher ground.

Calderon met with state officials and flew over the affected areas. The extent of the flooding was clear from the sky — Tabasco state seemed like an inland sea with only rooftops and treetops protruding from the water.

"This is not just the worst natural catastrophe in the state's history but, I would venture to say, one of the worst in the recent history of the country," Calderon said Friday during an emergency meeting with state officials in Villahermosa.

The president ordered the armed forces and federal police to maintain order and prevent looting, and asked residents to remain calm. He canceled a trip to Panama, Colombia and Peru.

"Once we have passed the critical stage ... we are going to reconstruct Tabasco, whatever it takes," Calderon said.

Mexicans rallied around the disaster, with people across the country contributing money and supplies. Television stations dedicated entire newscasts to the flooding and morning shows switched from yoga and home improvement to calls for aid. Friday was the Day of the Dead holiday, but banks opened to accept donations for flood victims.

Food and clean drinking water were extremely scarce in Tabasco state, and federal Deputy Health Secretary Mauricio Hernandez warned that there could be outbreaks of cholera and other waterborne diseases.

"With so many people packed together there is a chance that infectious diseases could spread," he said.

Officials tested for 600 suspected cases of cholera, but none was positive, he said. The waterborne sickness, which can be fatal, has not been reported in Mexico for at least six years.

The government also sent 20,000 Hepatitis A vaccinations and were giving booster shots to children to prevent outbreaks, Hernandez said.

Medical care was difficult, however, because at least 50 of the state's hospitals and medical centers were flooded.

Hotels, parking garages and other dry structures were converted into temporary shelters for those forced from their homes.

Guadalupe de la Cruz, a receptionist at the Hotel Calinda Viva Villahermosa, said the hotel's meeting rooms were being used as shelters for employees' families. She said the 240-room hotel was completely booked, mostly by people who had fled their homes.

Many people were headed to nearby cities unaffected by the floods. Highways that weren't covered with water were packed with residents fleeing in cars and on foot. The exodus appeared to be orderly with no reports of violence.

Villahermosa resident Mauricio Hernandez, 27, who is not related to the federal official, paid a taxi to go to Cardenas, 30 miles away. From there, he planned to hop a bus to the port city of Coatzacoalcos.

"We are leaving because we cannot live like this," he said. "We don't have any water, and the shelters are full. Where are we going to go?"

State officials sent 50 buses to a museum in the capital where hundreds of people gathered.

"We wanted to stay in the city but it is no longer possible," said Jorge Rodriguez, 43. "We have lost everything." By ANTONIO VILLEGAS, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 43 minutes ago

AMNY Subway Tracker (NY Blog)

Stay up to speed on NYC subway, bus, MTA and other transit issues
On alert. New York City Transit is now alerting straphangers when their line will be disrupted during the week. A new service will send e-mails about scheduled service disruptions and delays
Scary streets Oct. 17. Every so often, the quiet and neurotic worst fears of pedestrians are realized. To wit: Today's incident at the Bank of America tower. Here's a sampling of other troubling cases:

May 18, 2007 — A steam pipe from the former Deutsche Bank building fell through the roof of the firehouse next door, injuring two firefighters.

May 18, 2007 — A woman falls 10 feet through a sidewalk grate and into a transformer vault in Midtown.

July 14, 2005 — An old Gristede's supermarket under demolition at Broadway and 100th Street collapses. The rubble traps five people and injures four.

January 9, 1998 — Bricks fall four stories from construction scaffolding in Brooklyn, critically injuring a 16-year-old girl. This was one of many incidents involving falling masonry that year, including four separate incidents during a 24-hour period — one in which two entire walls crumbled from a building on 42nd St. ~ Kristen V. Brown ~Posted by Rolando Pujol on October 17, 2007 3:23 PM . The agency already sent e-mails about weekend disruptions. [NY1]

A step in the right direction? att75.jpg (via DOT) The answer of which way to go is at the feet of some lucky and observant straphangers.
Decals of compasses on the sidewalk outside four midtown subway stations around the Grand Central area will greet train riders for the next week, pointing them in the right direction.
The city transportation department, Grand Central Partnership and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority are experimenting with the sidewalk decals to see if subway riders want a permanent compass outside stations.
“If we admit it ourselves, we’ve come out of a subway station and thought, ‘Am I on Madison Avenue?’ ” said Fred Cerullo, president of Grand Central Partnership, a business improvement district.
The compass, a slip-resistant canvass and vinyl prototype, points out the four directions as well as which streets correspond with each direction. For now, New Yorkers can check out the compasses at
-150 East 42nd Street (south side of East 42nd St between Lexington Ave and Third Ave)-Entrance to 42nd Street/Grand Central station
-The Grand Hyatt New York, 109 East 42nd Street (west side of Lexington Ave between East 42nd St and East 43rd St)-Entrance to 42nd Street/Grand Central station
- 570 Lexington Avenue (south side of East 51st St between Lexington Ave and Park Ave)-Entrance to 51st Street/Lexington Avenue station
- 509 Madison Avenue (south side of East 53rd St between Madison Ave and Park Ave)-Entrance to Fifth Avenue/53rd Street station

Cell phone subway service probe The city council will convene a hearing on cell phone service in the subways Thursday. Council members Gail Brewer and John Liu will "review the capabilities and limitations of the system." The MTA already approved a pilot program of six cell and wifi accessible stations that will eventually expand to all stations. Brewer said she wants to probe whether service on the 277 platforms enhances security. She also wants to know what text services, if any, may be paired with cell phone and wifi service, offering customers a line into the MTA or a way to communicate with each other. MTA officials are looking into a text message alert service for Transit customers. The service was one recommendation from the flood report that probed the MTA's response to August's transit crippling floods. Transit officials will be at the hearing to take questions from the council's transportation and technology committees. ~ by Marlene Naanes on Oct 9 6:36 PM

Escalator accident 64771648_4069f1ecc9.jpg
(via flickr's gak) ~ Escalator steps in the Bowling Green subway station collapsed, injuring a woman and upsetting another straphanger yesterday, Transit officials said.
The woman was “slightly” injured, a New York City Transit spokesman said, and she asked for medical treatment. It was unclear how she was injured and what her injuries were.
EMS took her to New York Infirmary-Beekman Downtown Hospital. Another person was “very upset” but not injured, a spokeswoman said. The stairs gave way at 9:20 a.m., at the end of the morning rush.
Transit workers cordoned off the escalator, which runs from the No. 4 and 5 station mezzanine to street level on Broadway. Elevator and escalator workers are investigating why the stairs collapsed.
The police department said that two steps somehow became off-track and when they reached the end of the escalator, they threw two people off. Transit officials would not confirm that account. Marlene Naanes ~ by Rolando Pujol on Aug 28

Check it outage 105811892_77bc870f2f_m.jpg (via flickr's metrocake) ~If you need to know if a subway elevator or escalator is out before you head out, you'll be able to see outages on the MTA's Web site beginning tomorrow. The plan to do this was announced long ago and promised to be close to real time. The updates will progress to 24/7 in the coming months. For now, the Web site will be the on-line version of the Elevator and Escalator Hotline, which disability advocacy groups have claimed is unreliable and only updated four times a day. ~ Marlene Naanes ~ by Rolando Pujol on July 31 12:11 PM

New Dosage from Your Daily Fun Dose

F.Y.I If you don't see a link back to the bloggers site, it didn't come from there.

"The secret of creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." ~ Albert Einstein

How To Handle Irritating Person On A Plane?
If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane or train follow these instructions:
1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
2. Remove your laptop.
3. Start up.
4. Make sure the guy who is annoying you, can see the screen.
5. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.
6. Then hit this link: http://www.thecleverest.com/countdown.swf

Note : Do it at your own risk :--)) Invite: Can you think of any other way? Share!

10 Ways To Be Annoying
Ever wanted to annoy people around you , here are some useful tips for getting started.

  1. If paged, wait until midnight to answer the call.
  2. Construct an elaborate display of ropes in your backyard and tell your neighbors that you re a spider person.
  3. When attending a movie you ve already seen, yell out: Don t let him in! He s the killer!
  4. When buying a goldfish at a pet store, ask the salesperson how often you should walk it.
  5. When in a crowded elevator, say loudly: I hope I fixed it this time.
  6. Occasionally talk into your hand in public.
  7. Carry a duffel bag onto an elevator, wait until it s full, then ask if anyone knows how to disarm a bomb in less than 19 seconds.
  8. Insist that someone accompany you to the public rest room because of Henry, the toilet monster.
  9. While carpooling, make swervy turns while imitating crash noises.
  10. Insist that life is one big musical, then try to prove your theory by randomly breaking out into song in public.
How To Be Annoying Online
1. Make up fake acronyms. Online veterans like to use abbreviations like IMHO (in my humble opinion) or RTFM (read the fucking manual) to show that they're "hep" to the lingo. Make up your own that don't stand for anything (SETO, BARL, CP30), use them liberally, and then refuse to explain what they stand for ("You don't know that? RTFM").
2. WRITE YOUR MESSAGES IN ALL CAPS AND DON'T USE RETURNS SO THAT EVERYONE HAS TO SCROLL ACROSS THEIR SCREENS TO READ EVERY LINE. ALSO USE A LOT OF !!!!! TO SHOW THAT YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT BEING HERE!
3. When replying to your mail, correct everyone's grammar and spelling and point out their typos, but don't otherwise respond to the content of their messages. when they respond testily to your "creative criticism," do it again. Continue until they go away.
4. Software and files offered online are often "compressed" so that they won't take so long to travel over the phone lines. Buy a compression program and compress everything you send, including one-word e-mail responses like "Thanks."
5. Upload text files with Bible passages about sin or guilt and give them names like "SexyHousewivesI," then see how many people download it. Challenge your friends to come up with the most popular come-ons.
6. cc: all your e-mail to Al Gore (vice.president@whitehouse.gov ) so that he can keep track of what's happening on the Internet.
7. Join a discussion group and tie whatever's being discussed back to an unrelated central theme. For instance, if you're in a discussion of gun control, respond to every message with the observation that those genetically superior tomatoes seem to have played an important role. Within days, all discussion of gun control will have ceased as people write you threatening messages and instruct others to ignore you.
