Has globalization made us more catastrophe-prone?
Wonder when will the storm go away?

Swine Flu
Swine flu is a type of virus. It's named for a virus that pigs can get. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. The virus is contagious and can spread from human to human. Symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.
There are antiviral medicines you can take to prevent or treat swine flu. There is no vaccine available right now to protect against swine flu. You can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza by
* Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
* Washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. You can also use alcohol-based hand cleaners.
* Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
* Trying to avoid close contact with sick people.
* Staying home from work or school if you are sick.

Project Updates... Stuck!
Currently, I am reading up one of the research papers that were given by Prof. While reading and coding in high level langauge, I came across this interestingly strange mathematical stuff named as: Incomplete elliptical integral of the second kind.
My first reaction: Oh God! What is that???? Not taught in my engine courses..... How?
Lets' turn to Google and see what does it showed up in the searches:
Elliptic integral
Elliptic Integral of the Second Kind (Complete)
Elliptic integrals of the first and second kind and Elliptic Integral Overview and a quick calculator is here (link).
Great! But how to code it?
