BLOOD DRIVE IN LOS BARRILES WITH SANTA JOSEFINA BLOOD BANK
In the US we don´t give a second thought to obtaining or giving a pint of blood in an Emergency situation.

The Blood Mobile will arrive around 8 AM.  While you are there please fill out the EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION FORM and offer feedback to Santa Josefina Blood Bank for the next emergent "Golden Hour".                                For a list of regulations click on the link below  or contact us.  Thanks again for ALL your support,

=====================================

You truly overwhelmed us and we at East Cape Health Center, are still in awe.  Last Friday night over 200 of our Baja neighbors, friends and guests came to our Pig Roast Fundraiser at the East Cape RV Resort. By evening’s end, we had four AED’s donated with a combined value of $5,600 and we now are more than halfway to our community goal.  Further, with the combined purse from dinner tickets, bar sales, silent auction items donated from our generous business community and cash donations, we will be able to donate monies back to IESF toward their cost of training, educational materials and our emergency equipment upgrades for the Buena Vista Fire Department AND purchase 2 more AEDs! A huge thanks to the California firefighters for their commitment to ongoing support in our area.
       Our goal at East Cape Health Center, coupled with IESF (International Emergency Services Foundation) both non profit organizations, is to close the gap by improving the quality of care, response and timeliness to accidents. We want to encourage all in our community to become more informed about emergency response and to know where to go, who to call and how to get help fast.  
       Our thanks go out to our local friends who DONATED their time and talents  :  Bob and the Leftovers for the music; to Isabel for organizing the Pig feed with her fantastic catering skill and to all the East Cape business owners for our great silent auction.
       Very special thanks to those who donated our first 4 AED's : Kim Plotkin, Frank & Linda Tally, Suzy and Eddie Walker, and Palmas de Cortez.
       My personal gratitude to our planning committee who is helping me make a difference!!

New Internet-delivered TV Service? - I just came across US TV NOW, http://www.ustvnow.com, an Internet-delivered TV service, now in Beta. It looks like they're targeting users outside the US, and are going to offer the "Big Four" Networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX), as well as PBS, ESPN, CW, A & E, Animal Planet, Bravo, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel, History Channel, TBS, TNT, USA Network, and other channels. From their web site:
   We love TV! Our dream is to have all the TV in the world available instantly to everyone, wherever they ar
   But for the time being, our service is only available for those of you that are traveling overseas or reside abroad and have no other way to watch TV from the US.
   I  f you are traveling outside the continental U.S.A. our service is available to all Americans or those who would normally be able to watch US cable, satellite or broadcast TV. Below you are able to pre-register for the service and already schedule the programs you want to record*. As soon as you are abroad you will be able to watch the shows you recorded or watch live from home TV.
     In the U.S.A we’re not able to offer our service to you until your local cable or satellite provider becomes an USTVNow TV Anywhere partner. We’re really sorry about this, but it takes time to get every TV and broadband provider on board. You can help by giving them a call and asking when USTVNow TV Anywhere will be available to you.
     The web site is a little clunky, and I could not set up an account (possibly because it detected I'm currently in the US), but I'd be interested in hearing from others how/if this is working in Mexico in various formats; through TelMex, TelCel, Satellite Internet, IPad, IPhone,
Roku, Google TV, etc.
