But the U.N. estimates that 13.8 million people have been affected over 2 million more than the other disasters combined. The comparison helps frame the scale of the crisis, which the prime minister said Monday was the worst in history. It has overwhelmed the government, generating widespread anger from victims who have complained that aid is not reaching them quickly enough or at all.

House members scurry back to pass jobs bill By Jim Abrams Associated Press WASHINGTON House members are giving up a couple of days reconnecting with folks in their districts this week to pass a jobs bill that Democrats say is crucial to the well-being. The unusual in-and-out session was called because the Senate waited until last Thursday, after the House had already recessed for its summer break, to pass a $26 billion bill to prevent tens of thousands of teachers and an equal number of other state and local government workers from being laid off before the November election. The House convened in a pro forma session Monday, Aug. 9, meaning there were no votes and few people around.

Debate on the bill and a vote this morning should go quickly. The House also could take up another measure the Senate passed last week a $600 million border security bill with money for more agents and unmanned surveillance drones. With the new school year just weeks away, election season fast approaching and the overall job picture still bleak, Democrats felt they had to act quickly. Many of those whose jobs are being saved belong to teacher unions or the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, two key components of the political base whose efforts in November could determine whether they hold or lose control of Congress. legislation is about creating and saving American jobs, and preventing a double-dip House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said just hours after the Senate passed the bill that the administration says could save the jobs of nearly 300,000 teachers and other public workers.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen, shrugged off sug gestions Democrats were taking a gamble by diverting colleagues facing tough re-elections from their campaign activities. Republicans forced back to the Capitol said Democrats should be staying home and listening to their constituents of scampering back to Washington to push through more special interest bailouts and job-killing tax said House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio.

Waters to face 3 ethics charges Associated Press WASHINGTON The House Ethics Committee on Monday, Aug. 9, announced three counts of alleged ethics violations against California Democrat Maxine Waters, including a charge that she requested federal help for a bank where her husband owned stock and had served on its board. Waters, a 10-term representative from Los Angeles, has denied any wrongdoing and had urged the committee to come forth with details of the charges so she can defend herself in a trial expected to take place this fall.

That trial would be the second handled by the ethics committee this fall. Another senior Democrat, former Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, faces 13 counts, including failing to disclose assets and income and delayed payment of federal taxes. With the election just three months away, Republicans have pounced on the two cases as indications of Democrats failing to live up to promises to end corruption in Washington. The Waters case revolves around whether she helped OneUnited Bank obtain federal bailout funds in late 2008. Her husband, Sidney Williams, served as a member of board of directors from January 2004 until April 2008, and was a stockholder in the bank.

The report says Waters asked the Treasury Department to meet representatives from the National Bankers Association, a trade group representing minority-owned and women-owned banks. The discussion at that September 2008 meeting centered on OneUnited Bank. CORRECTIONS 9H4H X' LC TopPrice.P2id For White OrYellowGoldJewelry I El'Fi (H3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF GJ?
