Hold ‘Em Down
It is climatic perfection, 80 degrees with equal parts hot sun and cool breeze, on the beach at Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. The smell of Coppertone fills the salty air, and bartenders are serving up pina coladas near the transparent turquoise ocean, where bikini-clad women emerge, slo-mo Baywatch-style, to the soundtrack of crashing waves and steel drums. {inside1}We're not there.

The AC is set to “tundra," yet somehow it still smells like a post-game jockstrap. Oh, and the soundtrack is something of the “hacking cough" genre. But to the people in this room, this is paradise.

One Year After Hurricane Katrina Devastated the Gulf Region, Displaced Children and Dolphins Connect for the Future
It has been one year since Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf States and changed the lives of thousands of families. It has also been one year since the former Gulfport, Mississippi residents of the destroyed Marine Life Oceanarium, known the world over as the "the Katrina Dolphins", were rescued from the Mississippi Sound by their trainers and dozens of volunteers. Of the many who were relocated after the storm, seventeen children and their families came together at the dolphins' new home, Dolphin Cay at Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in The Bahamas, to adopt the Katrina Dolphins, during what was both a moving reunion and unforgettable experience. These special dolphins have become a symbol of hope, having adapted wonderfully, living in their new home on Paradise Island in The Bahamas and exploring a new life.
