Getting to know you getting to know all about you...

But anyway!!! I thought since none of us really know each other we could maybe we could play a little game. I will ask a question and answer it myself and then the next person answers and adds a question to the list and so on. So here we go....

Question 1
Are you married? If so do you have children?

Answer-
Yes, I am Married for almost 6 years now and I have one Child a 5 year old little girl named Ivy.

So Now the next person answers and asks another question.

Well I'm not technically married but I do have two little girls. The oldest is 4 and the youngest is two.

I'm going to assume donns next question(besides 'why does donn only skim through posts') is what color hair do you have???
I am not currently married, although i have been going out with my girlfriend for almost seven years now, no kids at this point, although we both look forward to being parents later on.
Great question Donn!!!!!! I have black hair when it's wet, kind of brownish/grey when its dry.

Next Question: What is your favorite sport, and or team???

#1: I am not married at the moment - ask me again after October and the answer will be different. I do not have any children - but I do act like one.
#2: What is left of the hair is brownish with natural red highlights that I get mocked for relentlessly. (or maybe they are mocking the "whatever hair is left" part...)
#3: I love football (College and Pro) I have no favorite teams in the Pros (Fantasy Sports has ruined me of any loyalty to any one team) and with college teams I try to spread my support locally - Iowa schools and even the Corn-shuckers when they aren't playing the Cyclones.

Haiti cholera outbreak prompts fresh UN aid plea

Fears are growing of a major outbreak in Port-au-Prince

The UN has appealed for nearly $164m (£102m) to fight a cholera outbreak in Haiti which has now claimed 724 lives.

UN spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said that unless funds were provided, "all our efforts can be outrun by the epidemic".

She said the disease had so far infected at least 11,125 people in five of Haiti's 10 districts.

Aid agencies are battling to contain cholera in the capital Port-au-Prince, amid fears it will spread through camps housing 1.1m earthquake survivors.

More than 80 people have died in the past 24 hours across the country, according to the health ministry.

High fatality rate
Ms Byrs, of the UN's Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said the funds will be used to bring in more doctors, medicines and water-purification equipment.

"We absolutely need this money as soon as possible," she said.

Stefano Zannini, head of mission for Medecins Sans Frontieres in Haiti, said on Friday that hospitals in Port-au-Prince are overflowing and patients may have to be treated in the streets.

"We are really worried about space," he said.

"If the number of cases continues to increase at the same rate, then we are going to have to adopt some drastic measures. We are going to have to use public spaces and even streets. I can easily see this situation deteriorating to the point where patients are lying in the street, waiting for treatment. At the moment, we just don't have that many options."

The World Health Organization said on Friday it did not expect the epidemic to end soon.

BBC Health: Cholera
Cholera 'difficult to predict'
"The projections of 200,000 cases over the next six to 12 months shows the amplitude of what could be expected," said spokesman Gregory Hartl.

He said that the current fatality rate of 6.5% was far higher than it should be.

"No-one alive in Haiti has experienced cholera before, so it is a population which is very susceptible to the bacteria," he said. "Once it is in water systems it transmits very easily."

The outbreak began in Haiti's Artibonite River valley in mid-October and at first seemed to have been contained.

But Hurricane Tomas, which struck earlier this month, flooded rivers believed to be contaminated with cholera and submerged refugee communities already struggling to survive.

The disease is spread by contaminated drinking water or food, but is treatable with oral or intravenous rehydration and antibiotics.

Aid agencies say access to clean water is a major problem, and they are struggling to get the message across to Haitians to seek medical help as soon as cholera-like symptoms appear.

Even before the earthquake only 40% of Haitians had safe drinking water.

Haiti's besieged health services have been warned to expect a different scale of disaster if cholera takes hold in the capital, which was devastated by January's earthquake that left more than 250,000 people dead.

"We greatly fear a flare-up in the capital which would be serious given the conditions in the camps," Claude Surena, president of the Haitian Medical Association, told AFP news agency.

Aid delayed
Meanwhile, the first portion of US financial aid for reconstruction in Haiti is on its way, more than seven months after it was promised to help the country re-build after the earthquake in January.

The $120m (£74m) - about a tenth of the amount pledged in total by the US - has faced several delays.

Only 37.8% of the money pledged by all countries for 2010-11 has been delivered to the poverty-stricken nation.
