Many federal programs, functions, and activities result from STATE inactivity. Why governors should not become Presidents.

Thanks for sharing this! We are quite pleased that the capturing of volunteer hours to offset the non-federal cost share for both the City of Joplin and State has been widely publicized. What a great way to capture the “miracle of the human spirit” and save local outlays for Federal assistance.

Interesting take on the political issues. Thanks, Bill.

Recovery phase deliberately drawn out so that the full public works mentality of the Congressional committees with oversight of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act [Public Law 100-707] that rescinded in part, supplemented in part, and revised in part the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 [Public Law 93-288] may be brought to bear on the political administration in power whether DEMS or Republicans.

The wrong Congressional committees have oversight of disaster issues which should be driven by science, engineering and economics not public works pork.

I’d definitely be interested in this. I’m a graduate student and I’m likely going to be doing research in the area for my dissertation.

I truly appreciate your comments about the blog. Glad you find it useful. I cover stuff no one else seems to mention.

I am trying to make the bookstore venture useful; it does not need to be a lucrative endeavor, just one that clears costs. The big question is can it be sustained.

$10 bucks is good! I guess I’m calculating shipping and I did not notice that price. I’ll definitely take a look for those! I love everything you post. Its been very very very useful and informative thus far.

At an average of $10. per book, most brand new, how much cheaper can they be?

I forgot to mention… My issue is I wish it was cheaper or more accessible for graduate student doing research.
