Another short post

In the last week and a half I have completed finals, gone camping, started my intensive Statistics class and had my sister out to visit for a few days.  Tomorrow, I leave for Denver to visit family, so no big post until next week.

I would liketo put up a short post on a current event. Here link to the blog of a Geomorphologist from Illinois and his takes on the problems with current media coverage of the disastrous flooding along the Mississippi.  http://lrrd.blogspot.com/   There are quite a few posts, so I will put up a couple which I think are important.

This one explains the reasons for a floodway.

This one breaks down poor media coverage of the flood with an article from The New York Times.

See you next week!
