Another FIRE Guide!

After a very very very long delay from the original planned release date, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (a group that gets my support) has (finally) added the Free Speech guide to their collection!

After the atrocious Cal Poly case (which was more of a contemptuous shredding of Due Process, IMHO), it is a welcome addition.

All we need now to complete the collection is the one on "orientation" which will probably need a longer than expected development time, simply due to all the sticky issues that are involved.

It could have been much worse

As horrible as it was, rotate this sumulation at this link below of the December Tsunami 90 degrees and consider the vunerability of Bangladesh (as has been demonstrated with past Tropical Cyclones).


The simulation is from the International Tsunami Information Center. (It should animate)

Also here is NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory's wave analysis that includes the waves' propogation out to Somalia.
