I will be at a conference/lecture all day today (no, not a conference for bloggers, silly; that would be pathetic). I will be going to a ground modification seminar hosted by Hayward Baker. The keynote speaker is the esteemed James Duncan, Ph.D., formerly of my alma mater, the University of California, Berkeley, and now at my other alma mater's former arch rival, Virginia Tech. (I got my undergrdauate degree in engineering at Syracuse.) The title of his lecture: "Investigation of Floodwall and Levee Failures in New Orleans During Hurricane Katrina." Spicy.

Endnote: I have sure been ripping on Kos lately, haven't I?
