It is time for consumers to learn the whole truth about 411-Pain, 411-pain attorneys and lawyer referral services in general. A majority of the finest personal injury attorneys in the State are not associated with any lawyer referral service. The vast majority of the top personal injury and civil trial lawyers in the Tampa Bay area have no affiliation with any lawyer referral service. In fact, many lawyers openly disdain lawyer referral services for the very issues cited in this article. The cheesy commercials and songs associated with lawyer referral services have done little to improve the reputation of a profession that is often shunned by the general public. One could argue that the commercials and songs portray personal injury attorneys in a poor light and serve to greatly enhance generalizations often linked with accident lawyers.

By Joaqlin Estus
The Senate Indian Affairs Committee heard no opposition to a bill that would strengthen Alaska tribal courts and law enforcement, but the state of Alaska, Sen. Lisa Murkowski are likely to oppose it.
Alaska Native corporations received contaminated sites as part of their land settlement, bringing them expense and complications as they try to clean up, exchange, or return the sites.

Hunting the 1918 Flu: One Scientist's Search for a Killer Virus
University of Toronto Press, 2003 - Medical - 297 pages
In 1918, medical science was at a loss to explain the Spanish flu epidemic, which swept the world in three great waves and killed an estimated 20 to 40 million people in just one year, more than the number that died during the four years of World War I. Today, while the Spanish flu has faded in the public's memory, most virologists are convinced that sooner or later a similarly deadly flu virus will return with a vengeance.
Responding to this sustained interest in the Spanish flu, Kirsty Duncan in Hunting the 1918 Flu presents a detailed account of her experiences as she organized a multi-national, multi-discipline scientific expedition to exhume the bodies of a group of Norwegian miners, buried in Svalbard, all of whom died from the Spanish flu virus. Duncan weaves a twofold narrative: first, the story of a large-scale medical project with the objective of uncovering genetic material from the Spanish flu and second, a first-hand account of the turbulent politics that emerged as the group moved towards a goal where the egos were as strong as the stakes were high. Duncan, herself not an epidemiologist but a physical geographer, is very frank about her bruising emotional, financial, and professional experience on the 'dark side of science.' Readers witness how the research team engages in 'entropic' behaviour, despite its presumed dedication to science and the search for the virus, as the compelling story unfolds through the beginning progress and harrowing conclusion of her project (1992-2001).
In her account of pursuing the deadly killer, Kirsty Duncan raises questions not only regarding public health, epidemiology, ethics of science, and the rights of subjects but also about age, gender, and privilege in science. While her search for the virus has shown promising preliminary results, it has also shown the dangers of science itself being subsumed in the rush for personal acclaim.

Last weekend I had some friends over and we went through most of my last batch. I woke up on Sunday and realized that I wasn't going to have any beer to take with me over Christmas while we spend a week with the in-laws in North Carolina.
I freaked out and ran to the LHBS and picked up a british bitter extract kit. I brewed it that day. I've had a few days to think about it and I'm not sure it was a good idea. First of all, that means I'll have to bottle it this Sunday, which means it will have been in a fermenter for only a week. Second, it will only be in the bottle for a week before we leave. So maybe you can start to figure out why I'm thinking this was a bad idea.
What are everyones' thoughts? Should I try an follow through with this plan, and take a case of green british bitter with me, or should I try and find a local brewery and sample the local stuff? Either way, I need something to get me through the week with the in-laws.
Just as an added bonus, my brother-in-law will be there. We both got started homebrewing around the same time, and we've never had a chance to sample each other's stuff. I'm pretty sure he'll bring his own, and I wanted to bring some of my own.
British bitters don't need a ton of aging (though you'll certainly be cutting it close). If you go for a light carbonation (which is to style anyway) it should be at least drinkable.
However green beer it definitely still will be. If it were me I'd probably take some so your BIL can sample. Being a homebrewer himself he'll understand when you say it's still green. Take the opportunity to sample some of the local micros.
You can do a mild in 2 weeks.
An Hefe maybe?
If you're confident of the expected FG, bottle a sixer when it gets to .002 gravity over your expected FG with NO priming sugar. The last of the fermentation will carbonate the beer and the rest of the time it will condition as much as possible. Then leave the rest in the carboy till you get back. I've been thinking about doing this with a beer just to see if my math is right. According to the beer recipator on HBD 5 oz of corn sugar adds .0023 to a 5 gallon batch. This idea would help you deal with the extremely short time period we're talking about. I must insist that you need to be EXTREMELY confident about what FG you will get. If you are off by more than .002 you will end up with soggy, glass infested luggage! And nobody likes that!
A great man knows that he knows NOTHING
Maybe crank up the heat a little to get it to ferment faster? Not the best for quality but if you want speed...
On deck: Oatmeal Stout
Primary: Bourbon Red Ale
Bottled: Dunkelweizen and Dunkel
lotsa viable yeast
Thanks for all the suggestions. I checked the gravity again last night and it is at the high end of an acceptable FG. I did keep it a little warm (74º) which hopefully helped it go a little faster.
I like your idea shafferpilot, but I think it is close enough now, that I will need to prime it. I do think that I will only bottle about 12 and leave the rest until I get back. That way the rest of the batch has time to mellow.
Does anyone know of any good local micros in the Durham area?
I know you want to show off your hobby and all but is a super rushed batch and subpar beer how you want to do it? I honestly think you'll taint their opinion of homebrew forever. Sorry. Hot fermented, no aging, it's going to be an estery yeast soup.

Former LaFollette officer gives self up after weeks as fugitive
After weeks on the lam, a former LaFollette police officer wanted on 44 counts of exploiting a minor contacted the Claiborne County Sheriff's Office Monday so he could give himself up.
Michael Shane Baker surrendered while at his mother's house in Claiborne County about 2 a.m., according to Claiborne County Sheriff David Ray.
"He said he's been living in the woods and around the rivers in Claiborne County," Ray said. "He apparently had little to eat, said he'd been hallucinating and had lost a lot of weight."
Ray said he expects Baker will be arraigned in Campbell County on the 22 counts of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor and 22 charges of soliciting a minor for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
"Because he was a police officer, they may want to keep him in our county for his own safety," Ray said.
Baker, 39, is being held in jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.
He is accused of enticing a teenage girl he never met in person to send sexually oriented pictures of herself to him over the Internet.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation had added Baker to its 10 Most Wanted list. LaFollette police and the Claiborne County Sheriff's Office sought him. He was believed to be living in the New Tazewell area.
The offenses he is charged with occurred between August and December of last year, authorities allege. The girl, who turned 14 during that period, lives in Georgia.
"To our knowledge, and based on information in the case files, they never met in person," Assistant District Attorney General Leif Jeffers said.
Baker was hired by the LaFollette Police Department in May 2010. He was suspended without pay on April 12, when it was learned he was under investigation. He was fired June 10, and on July 11 he was indicted.
Descriptions of the offenses contained in the indictment include promoting or using a minor "engaging in sexual activity" or "engaging in simulated sexual activity that is patently offensive."
Jeffers said Baker and the victim exchanged Internet messages. Eventually, at Baker's request, the victim transmitted photographs of herself in "inappropriate poses of a sexual nature" to him via the Internet, he said.
Jeffers, who had dealings in court with Baker when he was an officer in court, said "from what we saw in court, there was no indication of issues with him."
According to a release from LaFollette police, the allegations against Baker arose when the Georgia Bureau of Investigation contacted the department several months ago about inappropriate Internet contact and text messages between Baker and a minor.

A 21-year-old engineering student, who allegedly consumed acid in his hostel on Wednesday night, died in a private hospital on Friday.
The deceased, Kiran Raj, was a fourth semester student of mechanical engineering in a prominent college on Mysore Road.
Kiran consumed acid after appearing for his exams. He had spoken to his parents a few minutes before taking the step. The incident came to light when he called one of his hostel mates and informed that he had consumed acid. The friend, along with others, immediately went to the hostel and rushed Kiran to the hospital.
Hospital authorities informed the police. Kumbalagodu police shifted the body for a post-mortem.
Preliminary inquiries by the police indicated that inability to do well in exams could have led Kiran to take the extreme step. However, his father Gurunath, a resident of Humnabad in Bidar district, alleged that harassment in the college had led to his suicide.
Based on the complaint, police are questioning Kiran's classmates and hostel mates.
When contacted, college authorities said they would be able to comment only next week.

I worked at Pandora as a contractor (less than a year)
The training, atmosphere, concerts, snacks, drinks, etc. were all extremely big pluses working at Pandora. The managers that I had worked under were very efficient and friendly and helped me all along while I was working there. Although to the outside world, it may seem that Pandora is consistently trying to limit their program, the company is indeed doing everything to help their listeners in the long run and actually listen to every email written into their support system.
Seems like management could improve somewhat in other departments, but where I was, it was perfectly managed.
Keep on doing what you are doing, try not too change too many things.

I worked at PandoraPros
Awesome people to work with, who mostly are all friendly and helpful. Never had any problems with any of the employees. Has snacks also when you need a pick-me-up during mid day. All the managers are also awesome to work with, and have great personalities, even when they might be a bit stressed. There also always something happening within the company.Cons
There might be some cliques happening around the company. But overall, this doesn't detract just the overall friendliness and efficiency of the company.

When upper management wasn't happy there was definitely a lot of tension in the office. Also, it is difficult to be promoted or move to other positions if you are not in the Oakland office. I found that morale was low for that reason. Also, not thrilled with the HR department, they are very pro-management and don't really seem to care much about non-management employees.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Hurricanes recall Jordan from Charlotte
The Carolina Hurricanes announced today that Checkers defenseman Michal Jordan has been recalled and will join the team prior to its game tonight in Raleigh against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jordan, 22, is in his third professional season – all with Charlotte – and has 15 points (6g, 9a) in 48 games. He ranks second among active Checkers defensemen in scoring and represented the Western Conference at the 2013 AHL All-Star Classic in Providence, R.I. Jordan becomes the 14th participant to be recalled since the Jan. 27-28 event.
This marks the first NHL call-up for the Zlin, Czech Republic, native, who has 14 goals and 41 assists in 191 career AHL regular-season games with the Checkers.

text: Mar 10, 2014 21:32 Would-be Banksy art bandit's location unknown Would-be Banksy art bandit's location unknown Arrest warrant issued after artwork defaced Danny Monteverde| email@example.com March 10, 2014 Comments Much like the secretive British artist Banksy, the location of the man believed to be the would-be Banksy bandit is unknown. But even though he remains at large after allegedly trying to chisel out Banksy's "Girl With Umbrella" from a wall of a building at North Rampart and Kerlerec streets late last month, he, unlike the cryptic painter, now has a name: Christopher Sensabaugh. New Orleans police said Thursday that a warrant has been issued for Sensabaugh, 30, who is wanted on counts of attempted theft and criminal damage to property. The Banksy painting in question appeared in 2008, when the internationally known, but highly mysterious, graffiti artist came to the city and covertly completed more than a dozen stencil paintings around the city. On Feb. 21, neighbors who live near the Faubourg Marigny corner where "Girl" was protected behind Plexiglas noticed a plywood curtain had gone up around the edge of the building. Those who took a peek behind the barrier saw four men using power tools to chisel out the painting. The men claimed they had orders to remove the painting and take it to a museum, but they could not provide details about what museum and could not produce any documentation or permits related to the work. Later, a local photographer heard about the work and made his way over to snap photos. Charlie Varley said one man who was there when he arrived said only that his name was "Chris" and he was a "private art handler from Los Angeles." Chris allegedly claimed the artwork was to be sent to London for a Banksy retrospective in April at the Tate Modern art gallery and it would be reinstalled in New Orleans after the show. The Daily Mail, a London newspaper, said gallery officials denied that statement and said they do not have any Banksy exhibition scheduled. After about 10 minutes of allowing Varley to snap pictures, Chris apparently had had enough. "You got enough f------ photos?" he shouted at Varley. "I think you got enough now. Can you go?" After being confronted by neighbors, Chris and the other unidentified men packed up their gear and left. Police have said the men drove away in a white, 10-foot Budget rental truck. No other warrants have been issued. Robert Abdalian, an attorney for Mantua LLC, the building's owner, has said the painting's removal was not authorized. He said Thursday that neither he nor the building's owners know Sensabaugh. He said the building has been repaired since the incident. Anyone with information about Sensabaugh's whereabouts is asked to contact 8th District Detective Jerusha Carroll at (504) 658-6732 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111.

Birmingham City fixtures list revealed
Birmingham City will begin the 2014-15 season in the Championship with a trip to Middlesbrough.
The Molineux derby against Wolves is on November 1st, with the St Andrew's return on April 11st.
On Boxing Day, Blues host Derby County followed by Nottingham Forest two days later.
Birmingham City sign Spurs defender on season loan
Birmingham City have made Tottenham Hotspur defender, Grant Hall, their second signing of the summer.
The 22-year-old has joined on a season-long loan, with no recall option. His signature follows the recruitment of Jonathan Grounds on Monday.
Hall spent last season on loan at Swindon Town, but after consistent appearances in the first half of the season, a hamstring injury scuppered the second half.
Manager, Lee Clark, told the club website that Hall would not be the last defender to arrive at St Andrews this summer:
We're delighted to have Grant on board and it's no coincidence that my first two signings have been defenders because that was an area we needed to address. We simply didn't keep enough clean sheets last season and, as we look to continue to improve that area, there will be more defenders to come.
Birmingham City make first summer signing
Birmingham City have made their first signing of the summer, as former Oldham Athletic and Middlesbrough defender, Jonathan Grounds has joined the club.
The 26-year-old has signed a two-year deal at the club after two years at Oldham, where he made 106 appearances and scores three goals.
Former Swindon chairman in 'advanced talks' to buy stake in Birmingham City
It has been revealed that former Swindon Town chairman, Jeremy Wray, is part of a group of British businessman trying to buy a stake in Birmingham City.
Mr Wray is part of a consortium called Soccer Management Worldwide Limited. The company has confirmed it is in exclusive 'advanced talks' to buy a quarter of Birmingham City from its current owners, who are based in Hong Kong.
Blues in 'advanced' takeover talks
Birmingham have confirmed that they are in 'advanced discussions' with a British consortium over the sale of the club.
Birmingham International Holdings Limited (BIHL), the holding company of the football club, made an announcement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) over the course of the weekend.
The acting chairman of the Championship club, Peter Pannu, issued a statement revealing that a UK bidder, with a very strong North American investment fund, was in talks with BIHL.
Mr Pannu stated there had been an indicative, non-binding offer from a third party, in relation to a possible acquisition of a minority interest in Birmingham City PLC.
Via a statement on the club's official website, Mr Pannu said: "I can confirm that BIHL remains in advanced talks with a British consortium with a very strong North American investment fund.
"However, specific details cannot be disclosed at this moment in time due to non-disclosure agreements and HKSE regulations. There are many technical issues still to be resolved and legal representatives from both parties remain in advanced discussions to pave the way forward."
Birmingham City confirms it has received offer
Birmingham City's parent company has confirmed it has received an offer to buy a stake in the club.
It hasn't said who the offer is from, but the company said it would only be willing to sell 24 per cent of the shares.
Rumours of sale agreed as Blues suspend trading
The company which owns Birmingham City has suspended stock trading this morning - sparking speculation that a deal to buy the club has been agreed.
Birmingham International Holidings told the stock exchange to halt trading shortly before 2am, ahead of what it said would be a "price sensitive" announcement.
Reports suggest the move could mean that news of a potential takeover - including the identity of the bidder - could be released.
The company has been analysing five offers on the club for the past two weeks.
Football mad family turn home into shrine for Birmingham City
A football mad family have transformed their home into a shrine to Birmingham City Football Club.
Blue and white wheelbarrows emblazoned with the club's name fill the front garden of the Thomas family's Small Heath home – with a sign taken from St Andrew's taking pride of place at the top of the house.
Even the hanging baskets are made from astro turf.
Inside, the Blues theme continues.
"We try not to talk to our two sisters, Tracey and Andrea, because they both support Villa," Gareth Thomas says.
"The Blues are a life-long love for all of us, so we can't understand it.
"I remember going to my first match when I was nine. My mates picked me up and threw me over the fence and I fell into the men's outside toilets.
"Unfortunately the police dogs were there before they could get over."
The family started transforming their semi-detached home five years ago.
Their most prized possession – the sign from St Andrew's – cost just £2 from a car boot sale.
The boys also have hundreds of programmes between them dating back to 1968.
Celebs describe their part in Harry Moseley match
Pop stars, soap stars, film stars & football stars played a special charity match in memory of Harry Moseley today.
The schoolboy from Birmingham died in 2011 from a brain tumour. He spent the last two years of his life making bracelets raising thousands for cancer research.
Today the charity in his name held an annual football match at the home of Birmingham City St Andrews. Harry's mum who runs Help Harry Help Others, says it's touching so many stars are on board.
The Weasley's join City's celebrity football match
James and Oliver Phelps, otherwise known as Fred and George Weasley from Harry potter, were among many famous faces to take part in Birmingham City's celebrity football match this afternoon.
The event was to help raise money for the clubs official charity partner Help Harry Help Others.

Recycling cans couldn't get much quirkier or lovable than these PACMAN containers that gobble-up garbage like their computerized namesakes. Designed by Portuguese studio AND-RÉ, the cans are simple round items of urban furniture that help residents of Vilamoura separate out their trash. Each one is identified with a mouth in a starkly different color – blue, yellow, black or green – which makes recycling even easier than before.
The design is comprised of a stainless steel frame on which the large balls stand, while a central knob to open the can is placed in the middle of the mouth for better accessibility. And in case the colors aren't clear enough, each recycling can comes with a nifty label to tell you what trash goes where. The winner of this year's Iberian Urban Equipment Prize – Larus/Architectures, the PACMAN designs help to make recycling more appealing than ever.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS REFERENCES APPENDIX – 1: Definitions APPENDIX –2: Print out of Case Study 3 3 5 6 7 7 9 11 12 17 18 19 22 23 ABSTRACT Floods are the major disaster affecting many countries in the world year after year. In 1988, floods have resulted with an estimated 45 million people were directly -2- affected and killed about 2000 to 3000 people throughout Bangladesh (References: 2 and 3). The unit of this study is Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a flood prone country. Structural methods of flood protection are neither economically viable nor these are environment friendly. Therefore, non-structural methods are becoming popular in mitigating flood disaster. The study selects the new flood forecasting system, MIKE 11, which has been integrated in a GIS environment and provides a very powerful tool for real-time flood forecasting and flood warning. The advance warning dissemination is important to reduce loss of life and property and assist in disaster preparedness. 1. INTRODUCTION Water covers about 70% of Earth's surface and is critical to supporting life on the planet. However, water can also cause a significant hazard to human life and Flooding is the most universally property in certain situations such as a flood. experienced natural hazard. Flooding occurs when abnormally high stream flow overtops the natural or artificial banks of a watercourse. Floods can be deadly - particularly when they arrive without warning. On an annual basis, flooding causes the most damage in many places of the World. -3- Figure.1: Flood-a disaster of catastrophic dimension in Bangladesh (Reference: 8) Most communities experience some kind of flooding after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms or winter snow thaw (Figure 1). Dam failures can also produce flooding. Flash floods result from intense storms dropping large amounts of rain within a brief period with little or no warning. In industrialized countries loss of life because of flooding is typically much lower than in developing countries, but the amount of damage and disruption can be staggering. Floods have been viewed as extreme acts of Nature, which could be combated by building structures such as dams, levees, and bank reinforcements to contain, redirect, and otherwise control floodwaters. Dams, levees, channels and other protective works are designed to provide protection against some specific level of flooding. The "level of protection" is selected based on cost, desire of the community, potential damage, environmental impact, and other factors. Engineers can design and construct levees, dams and other measures providing a very high level of protection. Communities tend to choose lower levels of protection because of the initial financial cost rather than overall costs and benefits. -4- Bangladesh is a poor country and floods make human suffering tragedies and economic losses. The early and timely flood forecasts and warnings will help in saving people life and properties. 2. PROBLEM OVERVIEW Many organizations study flooding, work toward preventing floods, and recommend adjustments to reduce flood hazards. Mitigation is the basis of emergency management. The loss of human life and property could be reduced considerably by giving reliable advance information about the oncoming floods. Development of Decision Support System for flood risk assessment is vital in flood forecasting and warning for administrative machinery involved in rescue and emigration work. The importance of the flood forecasting and warning is a fundamental non-structural measures to aid mitigating- the loss of life, crops and property caused by the annual flood occurrence. Preparedness provides leadership, training, readiness and exercise support, and technical and financial assistance to strengthen citizens, communities, State, local and Tribal governments, and professional emergency workers as they prepare for disasters, mitigate the effects of disasters, respond to community needs after a disaster, and launch effective recovery efforts. Organized response to flood hazards takes two main forms: (1) structural and engineering approaches aimed at controlling flooding and (2) regulations, emergency response programs, and compensation packages aimed at decreasing vulnerability -5- and adjusting to the hazards. 3. PAPER OBJECTIVE This paper presents a study implies the application of Geographic Information Systems technologies in forecasting floods rather than flood mapping for flood risk assessment in flood prone countries. The importance of the flood forecasting and warning is widely recognized as an essential non-structural measures to aid mitigating the loss of life, crops and property caused by the annual flood occurrence. For standardizing different approaches in implementing a flood forecasting and warning systems, the paper will restrict itself to a literature evaluation to the project of the Danish Hydrodynamic Model MIKE 11 and GIS in Bangladesh. It may not be practical to avoid floods but it is a worthy target to move toward minimal flood disaster damages from severity. 4. PAPER METHODOLOGY -6- The paper aims to standardize a global user-friendly system in flood forecasting and early warning systems. The searching domain is limited to Bangladesh country and it constitutes a tool of utilizing both flood modeling and GIS technologies. This study concludes the future success of using GIS for flood forecasting is reliant upon developing enlarged interfaces between GIS and the numerical flood models (MIKE 11). The summary of the selected case study (Development of flood warning system) is supplemented by additional text for the purpose to achieve this paper objective. 5. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Different studies have been published to monitoring and forecast of floods (disasters) in Bangladesh using remote sensing technology, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and GIS in developing Flood Hazard Assessments and Maps, the Remote Sensing and the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), ESRI development of a HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center - River Analysis System) pre-processing and postprocessing ArcView extension called AVRAS, Hydrodynamic and GIS to predict the effects of future events from events occurred or potentially expected and the Hydrodynamic model MIKE 11 (A generalized river modeling package) and GIS to flood (disaster) mitigations in Bangladesh (References: 2, 4, 7, 8 and 9). In general, there are two basic types of floods. In a regular river flood, water slowly climbs over the edges of a river. The more dangerous type, a flash flood, occurs when a wall of -7- water quickly sweeps over an area. upstream or downstream: The precipitation leads in flooding either 1. Upstream Flooding: intense, infrequent and short duration of raining storm. Such floods typically have a short lag time and can be very hazardous. Floods in which the lag time is short duration are called Flash Floods. 2. Downstream Flooding: continue raining, long duration and extend over an entire region. A number of different aspects affect flow response and flooding: 1. Removal of vegetation or conversion to plants with lower annual evapotranspiration and interception increase runoff volumes. After rainfall, the antecedent soil moisture content and water tables tend to be higher for the next event. Consequently, less storage is available to hold the precipitation of the next event. 2. Activities that further reduce the infiltration capacity of soils are intensive grazing, deforestation and urbanization. As the proportion of precipitation for surface runoff increases due to human interference, the river responds more quickly to precipitation events. 3. Increased erosion and sedimentation reduces the capacity of stream channels at both upstream and downstream locations. Flows that would have remained within the streambanks previously may now flood. 4. Alterations of the stream channel (canalization, dikes, dams, bridges) change the overall conveyance system of a catchments area. Many studies have discussed and explained the approach of integrating GIS with the Flood Management software system; a common reliable product is MIKE 11 system. This integration between GIS and the MIKE 11 modules offers new opportunities to -8- develop and implement a user-friendly, interactive decision support system for flood forecasting and identifying the affected areas using dynamic spatial modeling (Reference: 9) Further Readings are available in the list of references section. 6. 6.1 CASE STUDY: Development of Flood Warning System Description of Study Area The profile of case study area is Sundarganj Thana of Gaibandha district in Bangladesh. The area is subjected to flood almost every year. There are two major rivers bound Sunderganj: Brahmaputra (Mansoon Flood) in the eastern and Teesta (Flash Flood) in the northern part of Bangladesh. The size of urban area of Area of household in Sunderganj Thana is 5.0 Sq. Km, whose population is 9, 940. Tarapur union is 6.42 Sq. Km; population is 25,796 (Reference: 13). Bangladesh is located in the Bay of Bengal and surrounded by India. Water enters in Bangladesh through three major channels (draining the Himalayan mountains through India and other neighboring countries into the bay of Bengal): Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna Rivers. Bangladesh is a flood prone country with a high number of population (about 800 persons per square kilometer) having area of 144, 000 sq km and a population of about 110 million. Major factors responsible for disasters in Bangladesh are flat topography, rapid run-off and drainage congestion, low relief of the floods, plains, low river gradients, heavy monsoon rainfall, enormous discharge of sediments, funnel shapes and shallow Bay of Bengal, etc (References: 2 and 4). Bangladesh suffered damage on account of the most catastrophic floods -9- of 1987, 1988 and 1998, resulting in untold suffering of the people. About one fifth of the country is flooded every year, more than half of the country can be flooded. The primary cause of flood in Bangladesh is rainfall in the catchment areas of the rivers of Bangladesh. The annual rainfall varies from about, 60 inches in the western part of the country to about 200 inches in the northeastern part. The average rainfall in Bangladesh generates annually only 100 million-acre feet of water whereas 1100 million acre feet of water comes from outside Bangladesh. Thus about 90 percent of the water carried by the river system. Whenever the inflow of water is greater than the carrying capacity of the rivers (and this happens very often) flood results. The magnitude of the flood depends on the magnitude of excess water that is generated. Besides the primary cause, namely rainfall in the catchment area, there are other factors that may aggravate the floods in Bangladesh. They are: 1. Snow melting in the Himalayas. 2. Hydrographic changes in the Brahmaputra basin. 3. 2.4 billion tons of sediments carried by the river system of Bangladesh every year reduce the water carrying capacity of the rivers, which worsens the flood. 4. Deforestation in the catchment area tends to aggravate the flood. 5. Construction of unplanned roads, railways, barrages, embankments etc. also create obstacles to the flow of water and aggravate the flood. (References: 6 and 8) 6.2 Objective of Case Study -10- The study attempted to develop a flood warning system by integration between GIS and hydrologic models and emergency response plans (Figure 2). Flood forecasting can be divided into two categories: 1. Flood forecasting in the rivers caused by upstream rise of river stage as well as rainfall in the basin; Overland flow from upstream. 2. Flash flood forecasting in small basins generally induced by heavy localized rainfall and characterized by sharp rise and fall. Figure 2: Development of flood warning system (Reference: 8) 6.3 Methodology of Case Study -11- In the current study the issue of flood hazard mapping has been addressed low priority, and considered an integrated approach in a GIS environment of a new model for warning of floods for flood risk assessment or early notifications in flood prone countries (Bangladesh) for regular monitoring of damages. Figure 3: Customized Dynamic GIS based flood-warning system (Reference: 8) MIKE 11 is a project that was initiated by the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) in 1995, to enhance the flood forecasting and warning system in Bangladesh. The project was bridged in close collaboration with the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) and carried out for a 3-years implementation period. Flood Forecasting Warning Center issues the forecast using the MIKE 11 and Flood Watch Model Systems. MIKE 11 is a comprehensive, one-dimensional modeling system for simulations of flows, sediment transport and water quality in estuaries, rivers, irrigation systems and other water bodies (Reference: 17). The MIKE 11 is structured on a great flexibility of basic modules for Hydrology, Hydrodynamics, Advection-dispersion and cohesive sediment transport and Water quality and noncohesive sediment transport. Hydrodynamic model MIKE 11 Flood Forecasting system (MIKE 11 FF) was successfully integrated with GIS in the ArcView GIS environment. The GIS has been -12- used intensively to create watershed models from digital elevation (DEM) data to trace flow-paths to get a complete surface for identifying the actual flood flow. The MIKE 11 FF flood forecasting system is a part of the modeling integrated in the MIKE 11 Flood Watch system. The MIKE 11 Flood Watch also works in an ArcView GIS environment and consists of three main modules: 1. a database management module; 2. a map-oriented data editing and presentation module; and 3. simulation and post processing of results. The daily procedures to handle flood forecasting and warning services are being carried out from the MIKE 11 Watch System that is outline in Figure 4. (References: 7 and 9) Figure 4. The MIKE 11 Flood Watch system (Reference: 9) The MIKE 11 FF is designed to perform the calculations required to predict the variations in discharge and water level in a river system as a result of catchment rainfall and inflow/outflow through boundaries in the river system. All the model calculations required for issuing a forecast are done automatically by utilizing a number of individual modules (Reference: 9). The MIKE 11 NAM is a precipitationrunoff model that simulates the rainfall-runoff process in catchments. The MIKE 11 hydrodynamic module, HD, is for the computation of unsteady flows in rivers and estuaries. Flood Forecasting, FF, performs the calculations required to predict the variation in discharges and water levels in a river system as a result of catchment -13- rainfall and inflow/outflow through boundaries in the river system. From the MIKE 11 FF module, the hydrodynamic model HD and the rainfall-runoff model NAM are controlled. All necessary input data and runtime parameters can be specified from MIKE 11 FF. (Reference: 7) MIKE 11 software package is a versatile and modular engineering tool for modeling conditions in rivers, lakes/reservoirs, irrigation canals and other inland water systems. It is designed for: (Reference: 7 & 9) o flood risk analysis and mapping o design of flood alleviation systems o real-time flood forecasting o real-time water quality forecasting and pollutant tracking o hydraulic analysis/design of structures including bridges o drainage and irrigation studies o optimization of river and reservoir operations o dam break analysis o water quality issues o integrated groundwater and surface water analysis o …….reliable results The MIKE 11 FF flood-forecasting techniques are used to predict local flood levels and river discharges. The forecasts can be used to set up control strategies for reservoir operation, which will prevent or reduce flooding in the downstream reaches and avoid unnecessary waste of water resources. In addition, the forecasts form the basis for the dissemination of warnings to local authorities and the public. The -14- forecasts provide information on the time scale and the extent of the flood inundation expected locally. Consequently, flood-forecasting techniques constitute a viable and important tool within flood management. Method of development the warning system is summarized in Figures 2 and 5. Figure 5: MIKE 11 FF provides flood warnings (Reference: 7) MIKE 11 and GIS are successfully integrated in ArcView GIS environment for instantaneous flood level information. The analysis demonstrates that an efficient warning system can release cautions in advance. This would change the current standpoint of flood disaster management and make available information for planning and emergencies decision making to which reduce deaths of people. This includes finding alternate routes in different situations: quickest route to the hospital or to the flood shelter and the direction of travel are very important at that moment. -15- The methodology and database has been customized in ArcView GIS for userfriendly interface and easy implementation. 7. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS "We cannot avoid flood, but by implementing effective flood prevention schemes, we can reduce damages from severity". The MIKE 11 "Flood Watch" dynamic model can be automated fully to be accomplished with the existing flood warning system to -16- provide warning for the people without the knowledge of GIS to identify the possible inundated areas to take initiative to evacuate people to the safe places in time. The MIKE 11 system results provide helpful information about flood risk management and should be useful in assigning priority for the development of very high-risk areas for flood control planning, and the construction and development of flood countermeasures. Five requirements for further improvements: 1) Regional cooperation among neighboring countries to get access to all types of required data on a continuous basis for the entire catchments. 2) Automated data recording and collection system can improve data quality. 3) A close monitoring and feedback from the users and updating using the feedback data. 4) Rainfall estimation using weather radar in conjunction with satellites for measuring rainfall over catchments. 5) DEM with higher resolution to produce quality inundation maps. The map has to be updated with new field data. Damages from severe flooding can be reduced if effective flood prevention scheme is implemented. This can be achieved if the sufficient information for flood forecasting is acquired both in time and in quality. Hydrologic applications of GIS range from synthesis and characterization of hydrologic tendencies to the prediction of response to hydrologic events. The payoff comes from the multiple ways in which the data can be used once it is made to be digitally accessible in a GIS (Tawatchai, -17- 1999). Use of GIS will provide supplementary data in Hydrology for such analysis and will lead to easier interpretation and understanding of flood phenomena and characteristics. The use of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) can be effectively used for simulation to get a complete model of the study area.

a resident of Portola Valley: Central Portola Valley
on Jun 1, 2010 at 8:28 pm
When I was a kid in the mid to late 70's going to Ormondale and Corte Madera in the early 80's most kids walked to school. We headed down Georgia lane, Shawnee pass and Portola Road The kids who lived on skyline hopped on a bus. There were kids being picked up outside school but usually it was the parent expediting their delivery to a sports practice, doctor's appointment or some other distance or time sensitive appointment. I witnessed the current caravan of cars picking up kids with a friend who has a student attending Ormondale. How ridiculous. Most cars driven by nannies. I do understand that today children have more extracurricular activities that may require a ride outside PV. That's just a sign of the times. But I feel that PV has lost what was such a big part of growing up here. You had a trial by fire conducted by peers walking with you and forged friendships on the walks home. Stopping to pick up frogs and play in the creek. "No Francis don't get dirty and you might get tetanus crawling under the old barbed wire to the typhus filled frog puddles". What a bunch coddled Sissy's. PV isn't what it used to be.and the people who live here now will never know how awesome it was. I never remember anybody being killed by a car or snatched by a creep.

Linguists have recently reconstructed what a 6,000 year-old-language called Proto-Indo-European might have sounded like. This language was the forerunner of many European and Asian languages, and now you can listen to how it may have sounded. Proto-Indo-European (PIE) was spoken by a people who lived from roughly 4500 to 2500 B.C. The question became, what did PIE sound like? As linguists have continued to discover more about PIE, this sonic experiment is periodically updated to reflect the most current understanding of how this extinct language would have sounded when spoken some six thousand years ago. Since there is considerable disagreement among scholars, no one version can be considered definitive.

Will Translation Devices Soon Allow Us To Talk With Animals?
The Atlantic speaks with Con Slobodchikoff, a professor of animal behavior at Northern Arizona University, who has spent 30 years decoding animal communications and believes we are approaching the point of breaching the human-animal language divide:

A computer science colleague of mine and I are using artificial intelligence techniques to keep a computer record of the call that prairie dogs were making, analyze it with these AI techniques, and then spit back the answer to us, which potentially could be in English. And then we could tell the computer something that we wanted to convey to the prairie dogs. And the computer could then synthesize the sounds and play it back to the prairie dogs.
The [prairie dogs] have word-like phonemes, combining those into sentence-like calls. They have social chatter. They can distinguish between types of predators that are nearby — dogs, coyotes, humans — and seem to have developed warnings that specify the predators' species and size and color.
How English Sounds to Non-English Speakers
Apparently a few phrases here and there get through, most of them profanities. You're welcome, world.
Is Internet English Debasing The Language? Not IMHO
WTF? Tell us yr thoughts in the comments. Steven Poole defends the corruption of the Queen's English for the Guardian:
… Read the rest
The internet might be a historic boon for kitten-fanciers and steaming-eared trolls, but it's not all good news. Online writing, you see, is destroying the purity of English as we know it and threatening to dumb us all down into a herd of screen-jabbing illiterates. Or so runs one regular technophobic complaint, the latest version of which has been offered by Robert McCrum. He is worried about what he describes as "the abuse and impoverishment of English online (notably, in blogs and emails)" and what he perceives as "the overall crassness of English prose in the age of global communications". The remedy, as so often for such linguo-pessimists, is George Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language", about whose loopy prescriptions I have previously recorded my own reservations.
Alan Moore and Psychogeography
Alan Moore interviews are always worth reading. Here he discusses psychogeography as it applies to various of his works.
… Read the rest
What exactly, in your not unlimited understanding, is Psychogeography?
In its simplest form I understand psychogeography to be a straightforward acknowledgement that we, as human beings, embed aspects of our psyche…memories, associations, myth and folklore…in the landscape that surrounds us. On a deeper level, given that we do not have direct awareness of an objective reality but, rather, only have awareness of our own perceptions, it would seem to me that psychogeography is possibly the only kind of geography that we can actually inhabit.
What books and writers ignited your interest in psychogeography?
The author that first introduced me to the subject was the person I regard as being its contemporary master, namely Iain Sinclair, with his early work Lud Heat.
Program Uses Algorithms To Tweet As You After Your Death
If social media is what you did while alive, does this mean you are living forever? CNET News on the app Liveson, which continues to generate tweets based on your personality and syntax, in a sense preserving you into eternity:
You might think your online fans will lose interest when you kick the bucket, but an upcoming app says it will let you keep tweeting from beyond the grave.
LivesOn will host Twitter accounts that continue to post updates when users [die]. Developers claim the app's artificial-intelligence engine will analyze your Twitter feed, learn your likes and syntax, and then post tweets in a similar vein when you're gone. You'll become an AI construct, a proverbial ghost in the machine.
The app will launch in March. People who sign up will be asked to appoint an executor who will have control of the account.
Ancient Whistling Language Still Spoken On Spanish Island
The BBC reports on an almost-musical language:
… Read the rest
On a Spanish island, an ancient whistling language that once seemed to be dying out is now undergoing a revival. Silbo gomero or Gomeran whistle is an ancient language the locals have assured me is still in use.
This method of communication, in which the Spanish language is replaced by two whistled vowels and four consonants, has a peculiarity perfectly suited to this landscape of deep valleys and steep ravines. It has the ability to travel up to two miles, much further and with less effort than shouting.
It is known that when the first European settlers arrived at La Gomera in the 15th Century, the inhabitants of the island – of North African origin – communicated with whistles. The arrival of the Spanish, the locals adapted the whistling language to Spanish. So the most likely theory is that the whistle came with the settlers from Africa, where there are records of other whistled languages.
British Man Wakes Up From Coma Speaking New Language
Ever feel as if you might accomplish far more in a deep, dreamless sleep than awake and walking around? The Telegraph reports:
Alun Morgan, 81, was evacuated to Wales during the Second World War but left 70 years ago. During his time there he was surrounded by Welsh speakers but never learned the language himself. He left the country aged 10 and lived his life in England and recently suffered a severe stroke.
But when Mr Morgan regained consciousness three weeks later, doctors discovered he was speaking Welsh and could not remember any English. It is thought that the Welsh Mr Morgan heard as a boy had sunk in without him knowing and was unlocked after he suffered the stroke. Mr Morgan is now being taught to speak English again.
Whatever, Still Most Annoying Word, You Know. Like, Seriously? Just Sayin'
We all know people who can't stop themselves using the word "like" in virtually every sentence. It's a word virus and not going away anytime soon per Marist Poll:
… Read the rest
It's that time of the year, again! It's time for The Marist Poll to reveal the word or phrase considered to be the most annoying in casual conversation. And, for the third consecutive year, "whatever" receives the dubious honor.
Nearly four in ten adults nationally — 38% — say "whatever" grates on their nerves the most. "Like" one in five — 20% — say that verbal filler is the most irritating while 19% despise "you know." "Just sayin'" gets on the nerves of 11% of the population compared with 7% who report "seriously" should be banned from casual conversation. Five percent are unsure.
Last year, 39% told the Marist Poll "whatever" is the most bothersome word in casual conversation while 28% thought "like" was the epitome of irritating.
Internet English Is Blur
Grammar police, start your engines. The Internet is corrupting the English language at an alarming rate per this report from the BBC News Magazine:
… Read the rest
Online, English has become a common language for users from around the world. In the process, the language itself is changing…
There are now thought to be some 4.5 billion web pages worldwide. And with half the population of China now on line, most of them are written in Chinese.
Still, some linguists predict that within 10 years English will dominate the internet – but in forms very different to what we accept and recognise as English today.
That's because people who speak English as a second language already outnumber native speakers. And increasingly they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers, particularly on the internet where less attention is paid to grammar and spelling and users don't have to worry about their accent.
