What disasters caused by private companies government should be prepared to handle?
OK, it’s obvious that government is not prepared to handle BP oil spill, but is it really government’s responsibility?
When government took care of banking crisis, people were protesting and saying that government should keep away from handling private disasters. I wonder what would happen if Bush would not bail out banks and Obama would not bail out car industries. Would government be blamed for not handling financial disaster?
Anyway, do you agree or disagree that it’s government’s responsibility to handle disasters caused by private companies? I mean all disasters – financial, health care, oil spill, baby toys and so on. If no, what should be the criteria of government-jurisdiction disasters?
The government should be able to step in whenever the scope of the disaster exceeds the company’s ability to manage or rectify. This is especually true when the effects of the disaster are liable to spread and affect others.
Now – all of those companies should be held liable for any and all _reasonable_ costs of responding to the disaster.
If the disaster is financial the matters should be handled as per established US bankruptcy law.

Get Your Ex Back Now – 6 Tips
Get Your Ex Back Now – 6 Tips
Pulling your life back together after a rough breakup can be difficult to say the least. You know you want her back, but you don’t know if she’s willing to give it another try. Finding help to get through this can be really tough, but things are about to get a bit easier. Here are 6 valuable tips for you to consider when setting out to get her back.
1) At first you’ll think this is ridiculous, but the best way to start off a breakup is actually to go with it. Separate from each other with a clean break, and let her go the way she wants to go. Cut off contact entirely with her, and it’ll actually make coming back together later a lot easier. There are a lot of reasons for this, but I won’t bore you by going into all of them right now.
2) Movies are NOT realistic, and trying to deal with your problems like you see in the movies will not work. Instead of staying at home allowing yourself to slip into a destructive depression, motivate yourself to take matters into your own hands. Hoping friends will come to your rescue or that your ex will magically call you up out of the blue to take you back won’t get you anywhere. Be proactive…you want her back, you take the steps necessary to get her back.
3) Friends may not solve your problems for you, but they can make them easier to bear. Surround yourself with your closest family and friends, their support will do you a lot of good. Don’t burden them with too much relationship talk, but just being with people who care about you will give you a boost to your confidence and help you get through the roughest patches of breakup pain.
4) Now is the time for action, but before you start working in the outside world to get your ex back you’ll have to take care of things on the home front. Make sure you keep yourself together during this tough time, letting yourself go can make it ever harder to get what you want. Respect yourself, and keep yourself in as good of shape as you can. Eat well, practice good hygiene, and exercise. A healthy body will handle this stress better, as well as be more appealing to your ex when you go for getting her back.
5) Don’t ever forget that this is your battle to win. You can’t rely on anyone else in your plan to get your ex back. Don’t assume your ex will change in any way, because she won’t. You have to be the one who changes, as hard as that may be to accept. If the changes you’d have to make to yourself to win her back are too much to take, then you may also have to accept that you’re probably not right for each other. Make necessary sacrifices, but always be aware of just how much you are sacrificing…if you feel it’s too much to ask of a person, then it may be.
6) Getting back together isn’t the end of your efforts, there is a hefty amount of upkeep you’ll have to manage. Just because this disaster was resolved doesn’t mean it can’t flare up again, so whatever you changed to get her back you have to keep it changed. Sliding back into the “old relationship” will make it head the same way as it did before…and nobody has unlimited chances to pull it back together. Win your ex back, and keep her.
If you pay close attention to what I’ve told you today, you’ll find that this entire ordeal is a lot easier. This time is never a complete breeze, but if you know what you’re doing you’ll get through it in a lot better shape than if you tried to “wing it.” Form a plan, stick to it, and never forget these 6 tips to get your ex back.

7.0 earthquake hits Haiti Serious loss of life expected
A major earthquake struck southern Haiti on Tuesday, knocking down buildings and power lines and inflicting what its ambassador to the United States called a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation.
Several eyewitnesses reported heavy damage and bodies in the streets of the capital, Port-au-Prince, where concrete-block homes line steep hillsides. There was no estimate of the dead and wounded Tuesday evening, but the U.S. State Department has been told to expect serious loss of life department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters in Washington.
The only thing I can do now is pray and hope for the best the ambassador, Raymond Alcide Joseph
The magnitude 7.0 quake — the most powerful to hit Haiti in a century — struck shortly before 5 p.m. and was centered about 10 miles (15 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. It could be felt strongly in eastern Cuba, more than 200 miles away, witnesses said.

Experts warned of earthquake risk on Haiti
Mike Godfrey, an American contractor working for the U.S. Agency for International Development, said “a huge plume of dust and smoke rose up over the city” within minutes of the quake — “a blanket that completely covered the city and obscured it for about 20 minutes.”
Witnesses reported damaged buildings throughout the capital, including the president’s residence and century-old homes nearby, and The Associated Press reported that a hospital collapsed. President Rene Preval is safe, Joseph said, but there was no estimate of the dead and wounded Tuesday evening.
He said an official of his government told him houses had crumbled “on the right side of the street and the left side of the street.”
“He said it is a catastrophe of major proportions,” Joseph said.
Impact Your World: How you can help
Frank Williams, the Haitian director of the relief agency World Vision International, said the quake left people “pretty much screaming” all around Port-au-Prince. He said the agency’s building shook for about 35 seconds, “and portions of things on the building fell off.”
“None of our staff were injured, but lots of walls are falling down,” Williams said. “Many of our staff have tried to leave, but were unsuccessful because the walls from buildings and private residences are falling into the streets, so that it has pretty much blocked significantly most of the traffic.”
Read what people in Haiti are saying via social media
Haiti’s government is backed by a U.N. peacekeeping mission established after the ouster of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004.
The headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Port-au-Prince collapsed, a U.N. official told CNN.
There was no immediate report of any dead or wounded from the building, but Alain Le Roy, the undersecretary-general for peacekeeping operations said of the 9,000-member, Brazilian led-force, “For the moment, a large number of personnel remain unaccounted for.”
Outside the capital, several people were hurt when they rushed to get out of a school in the southwestern city of Les Cayes, said the Rev. Kesner Ajax, the school’s executive director. Two homes in the area collapsed and the top of a church collapsed in a nearby town, he said, but he did not know of any fatalities.
Les Cayes, a city of about 400,000 people, is about 140 miles (225 kilometers) southwest of Port-au-Prince.
The quake took place about 6 miles (10 kilometers) underground, according to the USGS — a depth that can produce severe shaking. At least 10 aftershocks followed, including two in the magnitude 5 range, the USGS reported.
Jean Bernard, an eyewitness in Port-au-Prince, told CNN the city had no electricity Tuesday evening. The first quake lasted 35 to 40 seconds, he said.
“A lot of houses [and] buildings went down, and people are still running all over the streets,” Bernard said. “People are looking for their wives, looking for their husbands and their kids. It’s scary.”
Luke Renner, an American staying in Cap-Hatien, a city nearly 100 miles north of Port-au-Prince, said he was sitting at his home when “the whole world started to shake.”
“It felt like our whole house was balancing on a beach ball,” Renner said. “We heard the whole community screaming and in an uproar during that whole 20- to 30-second window.”
“I haven’t seen any structural damage here,” Renner continued. “With the sun setting it may be difficult to tell. In the morning we’ll know for sure.”
Because of the earthquake’s proximity to the capital, and because the city is densely populated and has poorly constructed housing, “it could cause significant casualties,” said Jian Lin, a senior geologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.

How natural disasters can encourage development of a country?
This is a school geography project. It asks about how can natural disasters help a country’s development. I couldn’t find any examples of it. It would be very helpful if someone could find an example.
I’m looking at this from two points of view.
1. Preparedness
Countries that are prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes would need to have systems in place before the disasters to alleviate stress on the existing systems. As such the said countries may invest in better construction practices and materials for constructing buildings which may be used as shelters or even for hospitals. These would have to be inspected and meet certain regulations and standards. Investment may come in the form of advanced communication systems or health care and emergency response procedures.
2. After the diaster
The UN and other government bodies tend to assist countries that are struck by diasasters. Therefore a relationship is fostered which can lead to partnership and business opportunities after the disaster has been fairly resolved. You can check on the united nations’ website or that of UNHCR for examples. Other sources are the IADB, inter-american development bank, or the World Bank.
Hope this helps.
