He alone knows himself in the best way possible who thinks of himself as being nothing. Psalm 130.I (999 B.C.E.)
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Jalal Al Din Rumi (1207)
In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be mortifying in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishin in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains. Henry David Thoreau (1817)
In humility is the greatest freedom. As long as you have to defend the imaginary self that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart. As soon as you compare that shadow with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy, because you have begun to trade in unrealities, and there is no joy in things that do not exist. Thomas Merton (1915)
Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights. Henry David Thoreau (1817)
This place where you are right now
God circled on a map for you.
Wherever your eyes and arms and heart can move Against the earth and the sky,
The Beloved has bowed there -
Our beloved has bowed there knowing
You were coming.
Hafez (1315)
Mark how to know yourself. To know himself a man must ever be on the watch over himself, holding his outer faculties. This discipline must be continued until he reaches a state of consciousness. . . .The object is to reach a state of consciousness--a new state of oneself. It is to reach now, where one is present to oneself. 'What I say unto you I say unto all, be awake. Meister Eckhart (1260)
Truth is not something lying in time, in the future, but is something here, now, only above us, above our present consciousness. Dr. Maurice Nicoll (1884)
Now or Never! You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Henry David Thoreau (1817)
To do rightly by the cosmos depends on timing: right doing, right being at the right time and place. This right guidance, found in every heart, finds its source in the universal Heart. This rightness is ultimate good, ultimate happiness and joy. The joy comes naturally to and through a life lived in moment-by-moment contact with the truth behind all nature, for its own sake and not for anything else. Zoroastrian Prayer (1600)
Thou that has given so much to me,
Give one thing more, a grateful heart.
Not thankful when it please me,
As if thy blessings had spare days;
But such a heart whose very pulse
May be thy praise.
George Herbert (1593)
But prayer as a means to effect a private end is meanness and theft. It supposes dualism and not unity in nature and consciousness. As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. He will then see prayer in action. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803)
It is necessary to study the mind itself, mind studying mind. We know that there is the power of the mind called reflective. I am talking to you; at the same time I am standing aside, as it were, a second person, and knowing and hearing what I am talking. You work and think at the same time, another portion of your mind stands by and sees what you are talking. The powers of the mind should be concentrated and turned back upon itself, and as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will this concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets... it will all be revealed to us. Vivekananda (1863)
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C.E.)
To find the permanent amid all the changes of life, and, having found it, adhere to it under all circumstances--this only is true happiness, this only is salvation and lasting peace. James Allen (1864)
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And to know that place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot (1888)
He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me, in those who harbor such thoughts hatred will never leave. . . For hatred ceases not by hatred at any time; hatred ceases by love. Dhammapada (200)
Love's conqueror is he whom love conquers. Hakim Sanai (1080)
Such is the nature of man,
that for your first gift--he prostrates himself;
for your second--kisses your hand;
for the third--fawns;
for the fourth--just nods his head once;
for the fifth--becomes too familiar;
for the sixth--insults you;
and for the seventh--sues you because he was not
given enough.
George Gurdjieff (1866)
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so them; for this is the law and the prophets. Jesus Christ (4 B.C.E.)
This is the sum of duty: Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you. Mahabharata (540 B.C.E.)
When you know yourselves, then you will be known and you will understand that you are children of the living father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you dwell in poverty, and you are poverty. Gospel Of Thomas (110)
Those whose minds are attracted to my invisible nature have a great labor to encounter, because an invisible path is difficult to be found by corporal beings. Bhaghavad-Gita (500 B.C.E.)
If you walk toward Him, He comes to you running. Muhammed (570)
But if you keep quiet, and desist from thinking and feeling with your own personal selfhood, then will the eternal hearing, seeing, and speaking become revealed to you, and God will see and hear and perceive through you. Jacob Boehme (1575)
"If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees. "- Kahlil Gibran
"If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. "- New Testament
"You grieve for those for whom you should not grieve. The wise grieve neither for the living nor the dead. Never at any time was I not, nor thou, nor these princes of man, nor shall we ever cease to be. The unreal has no being, the real never ceases to be. "- Bhaghavad-Gita
"We are not only enough...We are all there is. "- Don Lubov
"Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way. "- American Indian
"If you persist in trying to attain what is never attained (It is Tao's Gift!), If you persist in making effort to obtain what effort cannot get, If you persist in reasoning about what cannot be understood, You will be destroyed by the very thing you seek. To know when to stop, To know when you can get no further by your own action, This is the right beginning! "- Lao Tse
"Ecstasy is our very nature; not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look so tired, because misery is really hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against nature. "- Osho

Of Chile's 4000km-plus coastline, the brief central strip between Rocas de Santo Domingo and Los Vilos is the most visited and developed. Known as the Litoral Central, this 250km stretch boasts bay after bay lined with gorgeous, white-sand beaches, and a string of coastal resort towns. Valparaíso ("Valpo" for short) and Viña del Mar (or "Viña") sit next to each other near the middle of the strip. They are geographical neighbours, but poles apart in appearance and atmosphere.
Viña is Chile's largest beach resort and one of its ritziest. With its high-rises, casino, and seafront restaurants, as well as the beaches and clubs in nearby Reñaca, Viña typifies modern hedonism. Valparaíso, on the other hand, has far more personality, with ramshackle, colourful houses spilling chaotically down the hills to the sea (but no decent beaches). For stretches of sand, you'll need to head south or north.
Closest to Santiago, via the "Autopista del Sol" (Ruta 78), are the resorts south of Valparaíso, which are busier and more developed. Further south, there's an almost uninterrupted string of cabañas, villas and small, unappealing resorts. Even so, it's still possible to find places with charm and soul, especially where Pablo Neruda found them, at Isla Negra – though it, too, is fast being swallowed up by development.
Heading north of Viña you leave most of the concrete behind at Concón, and from Horcón up, the coast begins to look more rugged and feels distinctly wild and windswept by the time you reach Maitencillo, where sandstone cliffs tower above a huge, white beach. The stretch from here to Papudo is easily the most beautiful of the region. Not even the new villas and second-home complexes that have sprung up along here have managed to spoil Zapallar, the most architecturally graceful of the resorts, or Papudo, a small town dramatically hemmed in by steep, green hills. Two more resorts lie further north: Los Vilos and Pichidangui.Read More
When to visit the central coast
When to visit the central coast
Most Chileans take their annual holiday in February, when all the resort towns are unbearably crowded. They also get busy on December and January weekends, but outside these times are remarkably quiet. November and March are probably the best months to visit, as the weather is usually agreeable and the beaches virtually deserted, especially midweek. Even in summer, however, the coast is prone to fog or cloudy weather, and temperatures in Valpo can be considerably lower than in Santiago.
From April to October accommodation rates in Viňa are sometimes half of those listed, and even in November, December and March you should be able to negotiate a midweek discount; rates in Valpo are pretty stable throughout the year, save at New Year when they double or triple. Some, but not all, beaches are safe for swimming, though you should definitely stay out of the water if a red flag is displayed; you might also be put off by the frigid Humboldt current, which leaves the water chilly even in the height of summer.

Hey folks, if you haven't tried Finacea I would highly recommend it. My derm prescribed it to me to help treat my acne and mild rosacea, and to my surprise it cleared up my PIH marks within a week. Totally unexpected! Those marks had been there for months so I'm pretty stoked.

Inspiring Heroes: The Legacy of the 1937
Texas School Explosion
Ellie Goldberg, MEd, http://www.healthy-kids.info , (617) 965-9637
March 18, 2009 is the 72nd anniversary of the worst school disaster in U.S. history. The 1937 Texas School Disaster was a gas explosion that killed over 300 people, mostly children. Although a litany of problems were found in the construction of the new school, no one was held responsible because the Court of Inquiry concluded that "school officials were just average individuals, ignorant or indifferent to the need for precautionary measures, where they cannot, in their lack of knowledge, visualize a danger or a hazard." (Court of Inquiry, 1937.) The disaster led to the law requiring that a warning odor be added to natural gas, a result that saves millions of lives all over the world. However, other important recommendations to prioritize safety in school construction standards and operations have yet to be implemented in most 21st century schools. The story of the 1937 Texas School Explosion needs to be remembered because too many schools have dangerous old explosives in classrooms, labs, closets and storerooms. And, too many opportunities to prevent and correct other safety code violations in schools are routinely ignored.
What You Can Do
Observe March 18 as a Healthy Schools Heroes Day. Let's move safety from the margins of school activity to the core of school culture and curriculum. Together we can inspire leadership for safety in schools and overcome indifference to a wide range of public health and safety problems.
Break the Silence
Tell the story. Most people have never heard of the 1937 Texas School Explosion. The 1937 Explosion survivors all take some measure of healing and consolation in knowing that their stories teach the importance of taking precautions to prevent a similar tragedy from shattering other school communities. Read the memories of the survivors, witnesses and family members of the victims at "Recollections" (http://www.nlse.org/recollections.html) and "Sharing Information"
(http://www.nlse.org/sharing_01.html). See the old photos (www.nlse.org/photos.html) and newsreels (www.nlse.org/newsreels_01.html). The film trailer of the 2009 documentary based on survivors' stories, When Even Angels Wept, is online at http://www.kristinbeauchamp.com/44.html.
Tell your story Encourage parents, students and staff to break the silence about school hazards and to dispel the myths that excuse inaction. Read stories of Healthy Schools Heroes online at http://www.healthy-kids.info. Identify and celebrate safety heroes in your community. Promote a sense of shared responsibility and accountability for student, employee and visitor health and safety in all school areas and activities. Put chemical safety on the agenda of your PTA, teacher's association, school council, school board, health department, and other community forums. Commit to building the school and community partnerships that put a priority on teaching safely and teaching safety, especially for chemical cleanouts and other precautions. Find resources for chemical management online at the US EPA Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3) http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/partnerships/sc3/index.htm .
More suggestions for linking school activities to the lessons of the 1937 School Explosion are online at http://www.healthy-kids.info for science, language arts, history, theater, environmental education, parent involvement, emergency preparedness and professional development. Take advantage of year-round opportunities to promote school and community safety. Build on campaigns such as Poison Prevention Week March 2009, Inhalant Hazards Awareness Week March 2009, National Public Health Week 2009 and National Healthy Schools Day, April 27, 2009, Child Health Month, and other public health events.
Lessons Learned Help raise awareness of the urgent need for responsible leadership to eliminate explosives and other hazards in today's schools so "that schools will be safe and children will come home to their families when their lessons are over." (9-year-old survivor Carolyn Jones, in an appeal to the Texas legislature, March 25, 1937.)

Lessons of the 1937 Texas School Explosion
Nursing, Health, and the Environment
by Barbara Sattler, RN, DrPH, FAAN
In early December 2008, a group of nursing leaders representing a range of nursing organizations gathered in Oracle, Arizona to launch a new configuration of nurses who are interested in the relationship between the environment and human health and how it relates to their individual nursing practices and the nursing profession as a whole. On the heels of the newly established Environmental Health Principles for Nursing, this group developed a strategic plan for the integration of environmental health into nursing education (basic, advanced and continuing), nursing practice, research, and advocacy/policy work. The end-of-meeting product was a strategic plan that will help to guide the work of a newly formed cadre of nurses who are committed to engaging the nursing profession in environmental health.
There was a collective recognition that many of the symptoms and diseases that we are seeing are related directly or indirectly to environmental exposures in our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities – increases in asthma, autism, neurological disorders, cancers. The nurse researchers at the conference pointed out the importance of better understanding gene-environment interactions. In addition to understanding the implications of these issues for clinical practice, the nurses agreed that they must be advocates for the clients and communities they serve and engage in local, state, and national environmental health policy development.
In an era when nurses are in short supply, it is critical that we maintain our own health, along with the health of our fellow employees, patients and the community. As such, hospital-based nurses are contributing to the greening trends that are reducing exposures to potentially toxic yet common exposures in hospitals via healthier cleaners and disinfectants, safer methods of pest management, and eliminating and reducing the use of unhealthy plastics, in addition to reducing well-known risks posed by latex-containing products, chemotherapeutic agents, and radiation. Several nursing leaders in attendance at the meeting discussed the tactics and successes they employed in shifting their hospitals to more sustainable, healthier and safer practices through environmentally preferable purchasing, selection of locally and sustainably grown foods, and effective waste management. The basic waste-related tenets of "reduce, reuse and recycle" have their own nursing spin as nurses have encouraged the use of reprocessed materials and products, discouraged extra packaging, and learned to recycle not only paper and plastic, but blue wrap (in the operating room), small batteries, and even kitchen waste (by having it composted).
The people in attendance represented nurses from a broad range of settings – hospitals, schools, health departments, academia – as well as a broad range of nursing and other organizations – state nurses associations, minority nursing associations, nursing subspecialty organizations, and the Nurses Workgroup of Health Care Without Harm (a national campaign dedicated to greening the health care sector). There were nursing students, faculty, researchers, bedside nurses, midwives, and nurse practitioners; everyone agreed that all nurses needed to understand the relationship between the environment and human health and how this is important to their specific nursing role.
When leaving the beautiful ranch setting in which the meeting was held, there was great enthusiasm for the work ahead and an ambitious new strategic plan to help guide their activities.

Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project
The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) is a family of health care databases and related products developed through a federal-state-industry partnership and sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). HCUP databases bring together the data collection efforts of state data organizations, hospital associations, private data organizations, and the federal government to create a national information resource of patient-level health care data. HCUP includes the largest collection of multi-year hospital care data in the United States, with all-payer, encounter-level information beginning in 1988. These databases enable research on a broad range of health policy issues, including cost and quality of health services, medical practice patterns, access to health care programs, and outcomes of treatments at the national, state, and local market levels.
One product HCUP produces are Statistical Briefs, which present simple, descriptive statistics on a variety of specific, focused topics using HCUP data. Statistical Briefs pertaining to environmental health issues include:
A complete listing of Statistical Briefs by topic are available on the HCUP-US Web site at http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/sbtopic.jsp.
Plan "An Evening with Rachel Carson"
In March 2009, the National Women's History Project will honor women leaders who have 'taken the lead to save our planet' with a special focus on Rachel Carson for her vision and efforts to preserve the natural environment and stop ecological destruction. To kick off Women's History Month and to celebrate Rachel Carson's legacy, the producers of the new film A Sense of Wonder are looking for local and regional partners to host screenings in early March. A Sense of Wonder is the story of one woman's love for the natural world and her fight to defend it. It shows the extremely private Rachel Carson thrust into the role of controversial public figure after the publication of her book, Silent Spring. Originally an award-winning play based on the words and writings of Rachel Carson, A Sense of Wonder has been touring the United States and the world for 16 years. Written and performed by Kaiulani Lee, the play has been the centerpiece of regional and national conferences on conservation, education, journalism and the environment. Now, starring Kaiulani Lee in her signature role, the film is beautifully shot in HD by Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler at Carson's cottage on the coast of Maine. (See the trailer online at http://www.asenseofwonderfilm.com/ ).
The goal is to create a memorable event to celebrate the visionary scientist Rachel Carson and reflect on her powerful message. Each screening event is imagined as a collaboration between local women's groups, local environmental organizations, the National Women's History Project, and Sense of Wonder Productions LLC. Sense of Wonder Productions will work with local event organizers to reach out to local environmental organizations and appropriate panel experts.
A Sense of Wonder: An Evening with Rachel Carson Event: - a screening of Kaiulani Lee's 55-minute film A Sense of Wonder.- special appearance by actress Kaiulani Lee for Q and A (where possible). - brief panel featuring/celebrating local environmental leaders reflecting on Carson's legacy. - free refreshments. - DVDs of newly-released deluxe edition of A Sense of Wonder for sale. Interested? To get started, contact Ian Cheney, Outreach Producer ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) with the following information: your name and contact information, proposed location/venue of potential event, potential event partners. Frequently Asked Questions: Can I use the event as a fundraiser, or can I charge admission?
A community screening copy of the film, for free events in March, costs $84.95. For events used as fundraisers or charging admission, the screening license is $295 or 30 percent of the door, whichever is higher.
What will it cost to bring Kaiulani Lee to my event?
Because of the demands on Kaiulani's schedule, we ask for $1,500 plus travel/lodging as necessary.
Should our group seek out grants and sponsors for the event?
Absolutely! Carson's message has broad appeal, and there are tremendous opportunities to partner with other organizations to make this exciting event possible.

Toxic Assault on Children's Health by Alice Shabecoff
Evidence that climate change was going to be a serious problem for the world was already strong when Philip, then the environmental correspondent for the New York Times, began writing about it in the 1970s. The evidence was largely ignored by the public and policy-makers for nearly 30 years and future generations will pay the price for that neglect.
Then, as our grandchildren were born and grew, he and I became aware of another serious problem, one that is also largely ignored and also constitutes a threat to human welfare and, indeed, the long-term viability of life on earth – and that is the toxification of the environment by chemicals, heavy metals, and nuclear contamination. The book we wrote to try to make this threat known is called Poisoned Profits: The Toxic Assault on Our Children.
Here are some numbers: One of every two pregnancies in this country either fails to come to term or produces a less than healthy child. One of every three of America's 73 million children now suffers from some form of chronic illness, from cancer to asthma, birth defects and a range of neurological illnesses, from ADHD and learning disabilities to autism and bipolar disorder. Childhood cancer, once a medical rarity, has grown 67 percent since 1950. Asthma has increased 140 percent in the last 20 years, and autism rates without a doubt have increased at least 200 percent. Sperm quality has withered 50 percent since the '50s, the ratio of male births is decreasing at a rate of 1.7 per 1,000, while more and more boys are born with sexual deformities. Babies are increasingly born before term and are smaller at term, foretelling a future of lesser intelligence joined with a greater likelihood of mental and behavioral problems.
The sharp increase in chronic childhood illness has been paralleled by a rising flood in the number, quantity and variety of synthetic toxic substances. Over 80,000 industrial chemicals are in commerce in this country, produced or imported at 15 trillion pounds a year. Pesticide use has leapt 1,125 percent from the 400 million pounds used in Rachel Carson's day to the 4.4 billion pounds in use today.
From conception to adulthood, the assault is everywhere: heavy metals and carcinogenic particles in air pollution; industrial solvents, household detergents, prozac and radioactive wastes in drinking water; pesticides in flea collars; artificial growth hormones in beef, arsenic in chicken; synthetic hormones in bottles, teething rings and medical devices; formaldehyde in cribs and nail polish, and even rocket fuel in lettuce.
Most synthetic chemicals have not been tested for their impact on human health, much less on the health of children. The law (the Toxic Substances Control Act) allows manufacturers to test their own products, with no requirement to prove safety for humans or the environment. Even chemicals proved by independent research to be a menace are not removed if industry can make the case their economic loss outweighs the harm to public health.
Poisoned Profits focuses on children for a couple of reasons. We thought people were more likely to heed our message if it concerned their children. The other reason is, that children are particularly vulnerable to toxics in the environment. Their biological defenses are not yet developed. Embryos and fetuses are particularly vulnerable; toxics cross the placenta and the blood-brain barrier. It's now known that toxics in the womb can reprogram one's genes, evidencing themselves later in life in illnesses such as breast and prostate cancer and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Recent research has further shown that such genetic changes can be inherited down through generations.
Yet, even as one toxic product or another occasionally makes front page news, and even as parents struggle to fight illness one child at a time, the public and health care professionals still remain in the dark about the enormity of this national crisis.
Why? One reason may be that the current boxes of training and practice separate people who should be working together. Environmental advocates don't think 'public health,' public health practitioners don't think 'environment.' Environmental groups battle coal-powered electric plants because of the global-warming carbon they emit, but seem to overlook the fact that the tons of lead, mercury, hydrochloric acid, chromium, arsenic and sulfur and nitrogen oxides these plants emit also cause autism, Alzheimer's and other public health menaces.
A more serious cause of ignorance, however, is that the evidence of toxic harm is purposely obscured by many of the polluting corporations along with their Washington lobbyists, scientists-for-hire, politicians, lawyers and public relations firms, using strategies they honed in defense of tobacco decades ago, and acting within an unfettered free market system very like the one enabling the shenanigans behind the 2008 financial meltdown.
Family upon family, community after community, our interviews across the country revealed acts of corporate pollution papered over by researchers under corporate contracts. The Swiss company Syngenta (formerly Novartis), the world's largest agrochemical manufacturer, makes the herbicide atrazine. Atrazine is the most widely-used weed killer in the Corn Belt of America; it is found in over 90 percent of water samples in farming communities, and in at least 23 states. Its use was never allowed in Switzerland, and it was banned by the European Union in 2003. Syngenta interfered with the publication of a hired researcher's study that had found exposure to atrazine during frogs' fetal stage, even at levels 30 times lower than currently permitted in the nation's water, converted male frogs' hormones to female, that the frogs had in essence been chemically castrated. (Frogs and humans have remarkably similar reproductive systems.) New researchers were hired, who found no risk from atrazine at the EPA-allowed levels. Despite the evidence that atrazine can turn male frogs into hermaphrodites, the EPA, after 50 private meetings with Syngenta and with two advisory committees composed of only Syngenta and EPA representatives, decided to keep it on the U.S. market with no new restrictions.
Money speaks at the legislative level as well. In our analysis of who voted for or against the Clear Skies Act (which, contrary to its name, would have loosened corporate obligation to reduce air pollution), senators who voted for the act received three times the amount of donations from corporate interests as those who voted against it.
Yet, after acknowledging these problems, we end with hope and optimism. Now we know what is happening. One countermeasure rests with the public health world. Suppose public health leaders made the case that 90 percent of all synthetic industrial chemicals are made from petroleum, teaming up with green advocates fighting to reduce the use of the petrocarbons that cause global warming --that would incomparably strengthen and speed the development of substitute greener products. It is our hope that the strength and knowledge that eliminated typhoid and malaria in this country will join forces with those who work for environment protection to eliminate the causes of toxic-induced disease.
Review of Poisoned Profits: The Toxic Assault on our Children Doug Farquhar, JD
"If we love our children, we should want to protect them, to give them a safe and healthy environment in which to be born and to grow up and in which to inhabit the future. Whether we are strict parents or nurturing parents, whether we are conservative or liberal, whether we are rich or poor, whether we are blue-collar workers or corporate executives, whether we are devoutly religious or not, our values should reflects a deep-seeded, elemental-desire to shield our kids from harm."
So say Phillip and Alice Shabecoff in their new book "Poisoned Profits: The Toxic Assault on Our Children" (Random House, NY 2008), an exhaustive review of how the extensive use of toxic chemicals in our environment have caused (or possibly caused) cancers, birth defects, cleft palates, deformities, autism, asthma and a host of other ailments in children. Looking at the plethora of chemicals in our environment, and the aggressive efforts the chemical industry has taken to ensure that these chemicals remain in commerce, the Shabecoff's explore the relationship between the chemical industry and government, citing the evolution of regulation from one of protection to one where government must rely on industry studies to justify federal safety standards.
Citing interviews with the leaders the environmental health community is familiar with - Dick Jackson, Lynn Goldman, Philip Landrigan, Ken Olden, Herbert Needleman - this book discusses governmental agencies' frustration and inability to effectively regulate and protect children from toxic chemicals, due to political, economic and legal interference with their efforts.
But beyond this expose' on the chemical regulatory system are the heartfelt stories of the families and communities that have suffered from industry's release of toxics into their environment, both legally and illegally. Excessive cases of birth defects in communities with TCE in their water. Brain tumors found in children living near nuclear power plants. Autistic children born in towns with abandoned industrial factories. Each case discussing the parent's desperate attempt to learn what could cause these illnesses, their frustration with the lack of comprehensive information on these chemicals, with the limitation of federal, state and local government officials, with the limited legal redress, with the few answers to their questions. This is a book about them, about their challenges and frustrations, and about the hope of a new, less toxic generation of chemicals which may be awaiting us.

Leadership comes in many forms and from many different communities. The Damu Smith Environmental Health Achievement Award recognizes cross-cutting collaborative work that has enhanced or increased understanding of economic security, ecological conservation, culture or health by 1) developing leadership, building movement, or engaging youth; 2) partnering across differences; 3) achieving on–the–ground results; 4) funding equitably; 5) promoting respect by addressing racism, sexism and other oppressions through communication and education; 6) diversifying membership, workforce, or board; 7) modeling positive structural changes based on evaluation and accountability procedures.
In 2008, the Environment Section was pleased to present Mr. Hilton Kelley with the Damu Smith Environmental Health Achievement Award! Mr. Kelley has served as the sole line of defense for his West Side African-American community, a group of neighborhoods proximate to the fence-line of a huge petrochemical manufacturing & storage complex: Shell-Motiva, Huntsman, Valero, BASF, FINA et al. For the past 10 years, he has organized, educated and networked his community into the national web of environmental justice organizations, collaborating with such groups as the Chemical Weapons Working Group, Citizens League for Environmental Action Now
(CLEAN), T.e.j.a.s. (Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services), Global Community Monitor, the National Bucket Brigade Coalition, the Environmental Integrity project and many more. Mr. Kelley is an indefatigable campaigner, a scientifically literate environmentalist, a staunch fighter for social justice, a positive thinker and a unifying force in his community around what have been highly contentious environmental health issues. Congratulations Mr. Kelley for this wonderful recognition!

Evaluation of Environmental Health Education Needs
The Outreach and Special Populations Branch (OOSP) of Specialized Information Services is conducting focus groups with elementary and middle school teachers to assess the requirements and need for an environmental health education Web portal. The assessment will help in developing a comprehensive Web portal of environmental health and toxicology resources for elementary, middle and high school students and teachers. The resource will include links to informational Web pages, educational games, videos, podcasts and Webcasts, and lessons plans. The portal will be organized to allow easy matching to national curriculum benchmarks. The portal will utilize existing NLM resources for children and adolescents, as well as vet resources developed by other governmental and educational institutions.
Enviro-Health Links: TVA Kingston Fossil Plant Coal Ash Spill, December 2008
On Dec. 22, 2008, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Kingston Fossil Plant's retention pond failed, creating a tidal wave of water and fly ash which destroyed several homes and ruptured a major gas line in a neighborhood located adjacent to the plant in Harriman, Tenn. It is estimated that approximately 3.1 million cubic feet of fly ash and water were released on to land adjacent to the plant and into the nearby Clinch and Emory River. There is now concern about the potential effects of this spill on the quality of water, air and soil in the region.
From its extensive environmental health and toxicology resources, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) has compiled a Web page of links to chemical information on fly ash and medical journal articles on the ash's possible human health effects, http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/enviro/coalashspill.html. These resources provide background information on fly ash, also known as coal ash, which is a by-product of burning coal in power plants to generate electricity.

NLM Drug Information Portal
A new version of the National Library of Medicine Drug Information Portal was released in October. The portal now covers over 16,000 drugs. http://druginfo.nlm.nih.gov
The update includes:
1. Direct searching of drug categories, which are derived from the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH®) Pharmacological Action field http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/mesh/paterms.html.
2. Name and category suggestions, to eliminate common spelling errors.
3. Phrase parser that assists users in finding drug names within phrases.
4. The addition of the MeSH notes, when available, to spell-checker results to make selection of a possible answer easier.
5. Searches retrieving multiple results now sorted by frequency of citation in PubMed®, from highest to lowest. This tends to show the most commonly used drugs first.
The Drug Information Portal is a free Web resource from the NLM that provides an informative, user friendly entry-way to current drug information for over 16,000 drugs. Links to sources span the breadth of NLM, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other government agencies. Current information regarding consumer health, clinical trials, AIDS–related drug information, MeSH pharmacological actions, PubMed biomedical literature, and physical properties and structure is easily retrieved by searching on a drug name. A varied selection of focused topics in medicine and drug–related information is also available from displayed subject headings.
The NLM Specialized Information Services Division has collaborated with the Carnegie Science Center (www.CarnegieScienceCenter.org) in Pittsburgh to create a ToxMystery exhibit kiosk. The kiosk was installed in the "Exploration Station" exhibition on the Science Center's fourth floor in late 2008.
The exhibit is a touch-screen computer kiosk that allows visitors to explore the ToxMystery house's rooms and garage. The kiosk's bright green and yellow design attracts kids to play and learn about toxic substances that can lurk in the home. The project is part of SIS's investigation into ways of closing the information gap in environmental health resources for elementary school age children. ToxMystery kiosk blueprints will be available for use by other museums.
ToxMystery (http://toxmystery.nlm.nih.gov) is the National Library of Medicine's interactive learning site for children ages 7 to 10. With lively animations, surprising sound effects and lots of positive reinforcement, ToxMystery provides a fun, game-like experience, while teaching important lessons about potential environmental health hazards.
The Carnegie Science Center is an interactive science museum with some 300 hands-on exhibits in approximately 75,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space.

Update from APHA Environmental Health Policy Staff
Happy New Year from APHA's environmental health policy staff! We have accomplished a great deal over the past year and are looking forward to another exciting year ahead. APHA priorities for Congress and the new administration are now online and include climate change and transportation policy.
Some of you may have heard: we have a new director for the Center for Public Health Policy at APHA, Sue Abramson. Sue comes to us from the George Washington University's Department of Health Policy. Please join us in welcoming her!
The fall was busy and productive! APHA has committed to working diligently to ensure that new transportation policies are healthy and equitable. At the Annual Meeting, many of you saw our report At the Intersection of Public Health and Transportation, which was developed as part of our partnership with Transportation for America. In December, APHA met with other public health partners to create a consensus policy platform to further support the T4America campaign. In November, APHA staff and members participated in a CDC Linking Transportation Policy and Public Health meeting where attendees identified strategies that promote public health objectives in national transportation policies. Our support of transportation policy transformation will continue throughout the coming year.
In December, we embarked on a revitalization of an environmental public health coalition – to enhance coordination and collaboration among partners at the national level. APHA will work closely with a subset of these organizations to establish support and leadership for the coalition. Ultimately we aim to develop mechanisms for better communication, identify opportunities for joint action, and capitalize on shared resources.
Later this month we will be posting a new product on our site – Breathing Easier – describing the activities and successes of CDC's National Asthma Control Program.
From Feb. 24-26, the CDC National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program will launch their network at during the TRACKS 2009 Conference in Washington, D.C. Please consider attending the conference and definitely check out the network in February!
Finally, we've all heard that stories – not facts – are what motivate people. We have taken that message to heart. As part of our efforts to update our environmental health Web page we would like to begin collecting your stories – about the value of environmental public health, why you are a passionate professional, how you got into the field – anything that will help connect what we all do to those less familiar. We are working to figure out how to best collect these and so anticipate hearing more about this soon.
Best wishes in the new year!
Tracy and Amanda
Welcome to all continuing and new members of the Environment Section. It is, as has been said, "the best of times, the worst of times." We all look forward to the new president and his administration, and hopefully, the reinvigoration of environmental protection and public health. As members of the Environment Section, you can contribute to improving health and the environment, by participating in the work of the Section. And what is the work of the Wection? Our specific initiatives encompass:
Do you want to know more about what we do? Please visit our Web page: http://www.apha.org/membergroups/sections/aphasections/env/
In addition to conducting exciting project work that contributes to national and local health and environment issues, the Section and its members work hard to maintain the strength of the Environment Section. Please consider joining a project team, or in Section activities such as the membership team, writing an article for the newsletter, or exploring running for office. Your participation can be any length of service or amount of effort and remains critical to the strength of the Section in being able to continue our work.
And how do we work with APHA? We have contributed to the organization's initiatives on environmental justice, climate change and the two combined: climate justice. Healthy foods and all related aspects remain a priority of APHA. Not only do we work with the organization, but we also work with other sections on these topics, such as food and nutrition.
To emphasize public health, let's celebrate National Public Health Week, April 6-12, with the emphasis on Building the Foundation for a Healthy America. To promote environmental protection and health, this year's theme of the Nov. 7-11 Annual APHA Meeting in Philadelphia is Water and Public Health: the 21st Century Challenge and is particularly meaningful to our Section.

AUGUSTA, WI (WTAQ) - A frac-sand mine has turned into a legal landmine in Eau Claire County.
WQOW-TV said it all started last month, when the state DNR started getting dust complaints from residents.
The dust came from a 200,000 ton silica sand pile near Augusta that had not moved in a while. The DNR told the mine's operator -- Five-Star Properties of La Crosse -- to explain what was going on. And the company responded by saying it was a victim of fraud.
According to the TV station, Five-Star was to deliver the sand to a plant in Oklahoma run by Cardinal Glass Industries. However, Five-Star said it never received $4.2 million that Cardinal Glass was supposed to give them.
The report said the glass company paid the money, but a man who was reportedly acting as the glass firm's representative apparently kept it.
WQOW said the man is now being sued by both Cardinal Glass and Five-Star. Meanwhile, Five-Star says it's working with the glass firm on moving the sand that's been bothering local residents to a rail loading site.

Hang tight!
Recipe by TartResponse
"I read a lot of recipes before making my first turkey, and there were just too many to choose from, so I decided to wing it. Nobody was more shocked than I was to see how gorgeous, moist and flavorful it turned out, considering how very few ingredients and work was involved. Yes, the name is a double-entendre (there was a theme to my first Thanksgiving dinner!) I used a semi-sweet red wine, but you can go with whatever vintage you prefer if you want something more bitter. The drippings from the pan are practically a gravy on their own."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Please mark your calendars for next Saturday, September 12th (rain date is Sunday, September 13th)! From 9-1 there will be a HUGE multi-family yard sale in my Mom's neighborhood! Head over to Sherman Street in Lexington for some great deals. Lots of kid stuff, housewares and clothing!
Jessie (shown above) will be holding a bake sale also. Inspired by another Amesbury 4-year-old, Riley (you may remember me posting about her generosity earlier in the summer), Jessie is excited to make signs and spend all day Friday baking yummy things "to help Uncle Steven." Jessie fully understands that all funds raised will be given to The Steven T. Hill Stroke Foundation, and is proud to be helping her Uncle.
Also being sold: monkey tees and hats! And new to our collection: items for Fall, including long-sleeve tees!
The appointment at BWH went well, however the surgeon is erring on the side of caution and not willing to set a date for the reattachment of Steven's skull piece yet. The veins are still quite traumatized from the effects of the stroke, and the surgeon does not want to risk any further complications. We were a bit bummed, but of course just want what is best for Steven. Tanya and Steven went for a walk yesterday in this beautiful holiday weekend weather, and she said he enjoyed it quite a bit!
Here is our latest little monkey! This is a picture of Noah Avery from New York. Tanya's sister, Becky, sends her son, Liam, to Noah's Mom, Jamie, for childcare. Did you follow that?! Jamie, we are happy to have Noah join our clan of Steven's littlest monkey supporters! Thanks for climbing aboard!
