About 150 people came out to the senior/community center Monday
night, May 14, the actual anniversary of the village's date of incorporation,
to celebrate Port Chester's sesquicentennial, a word that was tripped over and
a subject of conversation during speeches the entire night.
As Michael O'Conner read the total vote count for the Port
Chester Board of Education election and budget referendum on Tuesday, May 15,
the middle school gymnasium was overcome by cheers.
Going to public school for the first time can be intimidating,
especially for a 5-year-old. However, the incoming 2018-19 Blind Brook
kindergarteners won't need to worry as they'll have plenty of support.
The first week of the Port Chester Farmers' Market in the
Highland Street parking lot on Sunday, May 13 is a great success, with plenty
of vendors and lots of interested browsers and shoppers. The market will
continue every Sunday through October from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
a five-month-long buildup, on Wednesday, May 9, the Rye Town Park Commission
finally gave its president, Gary Zuckerman, approval to sign the concession
Not only were Port Chester High School and Blind Brook High
School named as top performing high schools in the state of New York, but they
placed on a national level, too.
A 66-year-old man was allegedly smoking crack and harassing
people at the Stop & Shop at 25 Waterfront Pl. on Wednesday, May 9.
Port Chester police were called to an apartment complex at 9:56
p.m. on Wednesday, May 9, after a man allegedly abused his wife.
While a Port Chester police officer was doing a routine property
search on a 28-year-old prisoner at 3:25 a.m. on Sunday, May 13, he allegedly
found an illegal substance in his pocket.
Last week, five out-of-towners were charged for shoplifting and
unlawful possession of marijuana.
Since late last year I have been trying to conduct interviews with
various members of the administration of Rye Town Supervisor Gary Zuckerman,
starting with his core legal team of Jeff Binder and Dan Tartaglia, regarding
the massive $6.2 million tax giveback that landed like a bomb at the Village of
Rye Brook and Blind Brook School District boards.
No matter what two men are elected to the Port Chester school board,
one of their priorities should be reviewing the present chief administrator's
tenure. Why?
A school board should not be run by a bunch of senior citizens
who are living in the past. It should instead be made up of people of all ages who
have high standards for education and at the same time are cognizant of the
community's ability to pay. If the Port Chester school district is going to
continue to move forward and attract diverse young homeowners rather than
regress and scare them away, we need Lou Russo and incumbent Chris Wolff, the
two forward-thinking candidates with children in the schools who are running
for the Board of Education on May 15.
Dick Hubert recently opined in this newspaper that the Town of
Rye has exceeded its budget for legal services and disparaged the efforts of
the Town-appointed attorneys.
All good things must come to an end, even in tennis, whether that
ending comes on a professional or scholastic level.
The Olympics is coming to Port Chester.
It is a very special kind of Olympics.
It was a gutsy decision. Especially with the season on the line,
a win needed and a possible playoff berth at stake.
Fiery Spanish professional tennis great Rafael (Rafa) Nadal
continued his dominance on clay last weekend by winning his 11th Barcelona Open
title on the heels of winning his 11th Monte Carlo Masters title the weekend
before, extending his own amazing record of winning 46 straight sets on clay on
his way to his 19th straight victory on the same surface.
The Blind Brook boys' varsity lacrosse team finished the past week
with a record of 2-2, making their regular season record 5-9, amassing the number
of wins thought to be necessary to earn a playoff berth. After struggling with
a 1-2 record the week before, the Trojans managed to put success together in
the latter half of the week, with two more games to come in the week ahead.
With apologies to the Beatles, all the Port Chester varsity
baseball Rams need is glove, soft as well as hard accent on the letter G.
Because their errors have been costly with more than half the
approximately 100 runs scored against them coming on errors.
Aaron "Sonny" Orlovitz, 87, a Port Chester resident, died May 12,
2018 at Greenwich Hospital after a long illness.
Robert Joseph Weinberg, 94, died
May 11, 2018.
He was born in the Bronx, raised
in Port Chester and graduated from Port Chester High School.
Patrick A. Coletti, 81, of Brookfield, Ct., died Sunday, May 13,

Spring has finally sprung and with it has
come the long-awaited opening of a new restaurant in the Port Chester
Metro-North station. Station House opened quietly on Tuesday, Apr. 17, and the
Village Beer Garden next door made its 2018 debut the following week—on Thursday,
Apr. 26.
Did you know that there are now two Peruvian restaurants in Port
Chester that begin with the word Panka? The second opened Dec. 27, 2017 at 112
Willett Ave., where Cousin Frankie's USA Grill used to be.
Taking over a space where two other Italian restaurants lasted only a matter of months before it, Romo's Italian Kitchen & Bar at 108 Abendroth Ave. is destined to be different—for many reasons.
Second, his wife Ashley, who has worked in event planning and catering, is lending a hand to get Romo's up and running. The couple just got married at the end of January.
On Sept. 12, Port Chester Hall at the train station changed its name to Heartland Black + Gold. With the name change came a light renovation removing the train theme and a new menu.

On the speed of approach to equilibrium for a collision less gasKazuo Aoki, Kyoto University, JapanWe consider a collision less (or highly rarefied) gas enclosed in a closed domain bounded by a diffusely reflecting wall with a uniform temperature. From an initial condition, the gas evolves and approaches the equilibrium state at rest as time goes on, because of the thermalizing effect of the diffuse reflection condition.
(i) We investigate the rate of approach to equilibrium numerically and demonstrate that the approach is slow and proportional to an inverse power of time. This is a joint work with T. Tsuji and F. Golse.
(ii) We give some theoretical considerations on the result obtained numerically. This is a joint work with F. Golse.

Entropy and entropy dissipation for the critical mass Keller-Segel modelEric Carlen, Rutgers University, USAWe investigate the long time behavior of the critical mass Keller-Segel equation, which has a one parameter family of steady-state solutions whose second moment is not bounded. The equation is gradient flow in the 2-Wasserstein metric for a non-displacement convex functional. However, it has a second Lyapunov function that is displacement convex. Using the interplay between the two Lyapunov functionals, we determine basins of attraction for the steady state solutions. The proof relies heavily on mass transportation techniques, and has a number of novel features. For instance, the second Lyapunov functional, has a dissipation functional that is a difference of two terms, neither of which need to be small when the dissipation is small, and the level sets of this dissipation functional are not compact. We introduce a strategy of controlled concentration to deal with these issue, and then use the regularity obtained from the entropy-entropy dissipation inequality, and then an interplay between the two Lyapunov functionals to prove the existence of basins of attraction for each stationary state composed by certain initial data converging towards the steady states. This is joint work with A. Blanchet and J.a. Carrillo.
Traveling wave solutions to the 3-species Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion systemChiun-Chuan Chen, National Taiwan University, TaiwanIn general it is difficult to find traveling wave solutions for 3-species competition system. Under suitable assumptions on the parameters of the 3-species Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion system, we show that a 3-species wave can bifurcate from two 2-species waves which connect to a common equilibrium. The three components of the 3-species wave obtained are positive and have the pro files that one is a front, one is a back, and the third one is a pulse in the middle of the previous two with a large part near the equilibrium state.
Boundary singularity for thermal transpiration problem of the linearized Boltzmann equationI-Kun Chen, Academia Sinica, TaiwanWe consider the thermal transpiration problem in the kinetic theory, which can be modeled by the linearized Boltzmann equation. It is well-known through asymptotic expansions and computations that there is a logarithmic singularity for the fluid velocity around the solid boundary. The goal of this paper is to confirm this basic phenomenon in the kinetic theory through analysis for sufficiently large Knudsen number. We use an iterated scheme, with the "gain" part of the collision operator as a source. The scheme yields an explicit leading term. The remaining converging terms are estimated through a refined pointwise estimate and Maxwellian upper bound for the gain part. Our analysis is motivated by the previous studies of asymptotic and computational analysis. Numerical data supporting the analysis are also provided.
Vanishing viscosity limit for nonlinear conservation lawsGui-Qiang Chen, Oxford University, UKThe vanishing viscosity limit is one of the most classical, fundamental problems in the theory of nonlinear conservation laws. In particular, the vanishing viscosity limit of the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations for compressible fluid flow has been a longstanding open problem. In this talk, we will discuss some of old and recent developments in the study of this issue.
Admissibility of shocks revisitedConstantine Dafermos, Brown University, USAClarifying the question of shock admissibility was the earliest important contribution of Tai-Ping Liu to the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws. The lecture will discuss this issue in the light of old and recent developments.
Existence of algebraic vortex spiralsVolker Elling, University of Michigan, USAIn fluid dynamics, vortex sheets -- curves across which the tangential flow velocity jumps, while pressure, density and normal velocity are continuous -- occur naturally in many important problems, for example from the trailing edge of wings in accelerating aircraft, when several interacting shock waves meet in some types of Mach reflection, or in buoyant plumes.
Vortex sheets have a tendency to roll up into spirals, whose asymptotic (and sometimes exact) behaviour has an x ~ t^m self-similar scaling. While logarithmic spiral solutions of the corresponding Birkhoff-Rott equation have been known since the 1920s, no existence proof was previously known for the more relevant algebraic spirals. I will discuss a proof in the case of sufficiently many symmetric branches and outline ongoing generalization to single-branched spirals.
I will also explain how this project relates to stability and uniqueness for the Euler equations and for "perturbations" like the Navier-Stokes or Boltzmann equations.
Non-uniqueness and instability in Euler flow and its perturbationsVolker Elling, University of Michigan, USAI will review recent numerical and analytical results on non-uniqueness of the incompressible and compressible Euler equations, provide links to previously misunderstood numerical instabilities and explain how these phenomena have correspondences in Navier-Stokes and other small singular perturbations of Euler flow.
Stability and instability a Vlasov-Boltzman binary mixture at the phase transitionRaffaele Esposito, Universita of L'Aquila, ItalyI present a two-fluids kinetic model, with repulsive interaction between different species, described by a couple of Vlasov-Boltzmann equations, which exhibits a segregation phase transitions below a critical temperature. I give an overview of some stability and instability results on the real line for this and related model and discuss some more recent results about the stability analysis in a large finite interval with periodic boundary condition.
On dynamic stability and non-blow-up of a class of solutions of 3D incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equationsThomas Hou, California Institute of Technology, USAWhether the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations can develop a finite time singularity from smooth initial data is one of the most challenging problems for both computation and analysis. We review some recent theoretical and computational studies of the 3D Euler equations which show that there is a subtle dynamic depletion of nonlinear vortex stretching due to local geometric regularity of vortex filaments. Our study reveals a surprising nonlinear stabilizing effect that the convection term plays in regularizing the solution. Finally, we present a new class of solutions for the 3D Euler and surface QG equation, which exhibit very interesting dynamic growth property. By exploiting the special structure of the solution and the dynamic balance between the vortex stretching term and the local geometric property of the solution, we prove nonlinear stability and the global regularity of this class of solutions.
Large time behavior of solutions for hydrodynamic model of semiconductorsFeimin Huang, Academia Sinica, ChinaIn this lecture, I will introduce recent progress on the large time behavior of soltuions for hydrodynamic model for semiconductors in the form of Euler-Poisson equations. In particular, I will focus on the case when the difference between the initial electron mass and the initial hole mass is non-zero (switch-on case).
A new type decay structure for symmetric hyperbolic systemsShuichi Kawashima, Kyushu University, JapanWe discuss the decay property for a class of symmetric hyperbolic systems with relaxation. The condition (K) is known as a sufficient condition which gives the decay estimate of the standard type. Also, the condition (K) is equivalent to the (Shizuta-Kawashima) stability condition and gives the characterization of the dissipativity of the systems. This stability theory was established for systems with symmetric relaxation matrices.
Recently, we found several intereting systems with non-symmetric relaxation which have different decay structure. In this talk, we discuss these examples and report the recent progress on the stability theory for a class of symmetric hyperbolic systems.
A part of this talk is based on a joint work with Y. Ueda and R. Duan.
2-D Riemann problems in gas dynamics and their simulation by the GRP schemeJiequan Li, Beijing Normal University, ChinaTwo-dimensional (2-D) Riemann problems for compressible fluid flows assume the simplest initial state but provide the most fundamental wave configurations, including the reflection of oblique shocks and vortex-shock interaction etc. In this talk I will show many fascinating pictures, based on 2-D Riemann solutions, to disclose the mysteries of compressible fluid world both through analytical tools (in the form of mathematical theorems) and computational techniques (in the form of simulations). The simulations are obtained using the generalized Riemann problem (GRP) scheme we developed in recent years. The scheme is equipped with the most accurate solver in the construction of numerical fluxes by a way of tracking singularities analytically and keeping entropy exactly computed.
Invariant manifolds for stationary Boltzmann equationTai-Ping Liu, Academia Sinica, TaiwanWith Shih-Hsien Yu, we have introduced the Green's function approach for the study of Boltzmann equation in the kinetic theory for gases. The purpose is to build up a more quantitative theory so as to be able to study some physical phenomena. Of particular importance is the boundary effects, a subject the kinetic theory can model much better than the classical fluid dynamics. In this talk we will describe the bifurcation phenomena for the Boltzmann boundary layers. This is an application of the newly developed theory for the invariant manifolds of the stationary Boltzmann equation. The construction of the invariant manifolds is done through time-asymptotic analysis, making essential use of the pointwise estimates of the Green's functions.
Analysis of Ginzburg Landau type approximations for nematic fluid systemsPierangelo Marcati, University of L'Aquila, ItalyWe present the analysis via the cancellation concentration argument. We show the convergence and the existence of at most finitely many singularities in the limit. (joint with D. Donatelli and S. Spirito)
Ghost effect by curvatureRossana Marra, University of Rome Tor Vergata, ItalyI consider the Boltzmann equation for a gas between two rotating coaxial cylinders, and we study the behavior of the gas in the limit in which the Knudsen number and the inverse of radius (the curvature) of the inner cylinder tend to zero simultaneously, keeping the difference of the radii of the two cylinders fixed. The Mach number goes to zero as α, α < 1. The limiting behavior is described by a modification of the equations for the plane Couette flow. There is a bifurcation phenomenon from a linear profile of the velocity field due to the new terms in the equations. I will discuss in particular the 1d stationary case.
Quantitative uniform in time mean-field limit and a solution to a problem of KacClement Mouhot, University of Cambridge, UKThis talk is devoted to a joint work with Stephane Mischler about the mean-field limit for systems of indistinguable particles undergoing collision processes. As proposed by Kac (1956) this limit can be reduced to a property of chaos propagation. We (1) prove and quantify this property for Boltzmann collision processes with unbounded collision rates (hard spheres or long-range interactions), (2) prove and quantify this property uniformly in time. Point (1) yields quantitative mean-field limit for long-range interactions and hard spheres (the latter case improves on the qualitative results of Sznitman (1984)). Point (2) yields the first uniform in time chaos propagation results for Boltzmann collision processes. With additional work this allows to give a solution to the question raised by Kac of relating the long-time behavior of a particle system with the one of its mean-field limit. Our results are based on a new method which reduces the question of chaos propagation to the one of proving a purely functional estimate on some generator operators (consistency estimate) together with fine stability estimates on the flow of the limiting non-linear equation (stability estimates).
Asymptotic stability of boundary layer to the Euler-Poisson equation in plasma physicsShinya Nishibata, Tokyo Institute of Technology, JapanThe main concern of the present talk is mathematical analyses on a boundary layer around a surface of a material with which plasma contacts. The layer, called a sheath in plasma physics, has a larger density of positive ions than that of electrons. The Bohm criterion for formation of the sheath requires that ion velocity should be much faster than sound speed. This physical phenomena is studied in the Euler-Poisson equations, describing behavior of ionized gas. We show that the sheath is regarded as a planar stationary solution in multi-dimensional half space. Precisely, under the Bohm sheath criterion, we show that the existence of the stationary solution and it is time asymptotically stable. Moreover we obtain a convergence rate of the solution towards the stationary solution.
The present result is obtained through the joint research with Mr. Masasi Ohnawa and Dr. Masahiro Suzuki.
Heat convection problems of compressible fluidsTakaaki Nishida, Waseda University, JapanHeat convection problems are naturally formulated by the full system of equations for the compressible, viscous and heat conducting fluids. However the analysis of the system is rather difficult for the pattern formations or bifurcation problems. Thus Oberbeck-Boussinesq equation is used and investigated as an approximation to explain pattern formations and bifurcations. We clarify difficulties of the full system to explain pattern formations or bifurcations. We give some ideas to overcome those difficulties and propose a justification procedure to obtain the Oberbeck-Boussinesq system from the full system.
Large time behavior of collisionless plasmaStephen Pankavich, United States Naval Academy, USAThe motion of a collisionless plasma, a high-temperature, low-density, ionized gas, is described by the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. In the presence of large velocities, relativistic corrections are meaningful, and when magnetic effects are neglected this formally becomes the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system. Similarly, if one takes the classical limit as the speed of light tends to infinity, one obtains the classical Vlasov-Poisson system. We study the long-time dynamics of these systems of PDE and contrast the behavior when considering the cases of classical versus relativistic velocities and the monocharged (i.e., single species of ion) versus neutral plasma situations.
Kinetic models of chemotaxis and traveling bandsBenoit Perthame, Pierre and Marie Curie University, FranceThe question of explaining patterns in cell colonies is old and sometimes called 'socio-biology'. Many PDE models have been proposed in this field, in particular semilinear parabolic and Fokker-Planck equations.
Kinetic models of chemotaxis have been used since the 80s, based on experimental observation or the run and tumble movement of bacteria. They are useful to include informations at the individual level through the tumbling kernel. They also allow to derive macroscopic models (at the population scale) as the famous Keller-Segel system.
We will explain how the microscopic behavior of E. coli and its way to modulate the runs, gives rise to the Flux Limited Keller-Segel equation in the diffusion limit. In opposition to the traditional Keller-Segel system, this new model can sustain robust traveling bands as observed in the famous experiment of Adler.
This work is a collaboration with V. Calvez, N. Bournaveas, A. Buguin, J. Saragosti and P. Silberzan.
The Cauchy problem for the 3-D Vlasov-Poisson system with point chargesMario Pulvirenti, Sapienza - Universita di Roma, ItalyI discuss the global existence and uniqueness of the solution to the three-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system in presence of point charges, in case of repulsive interaction. I would also mention recent two-dimensional results in the more physical interesting attractive case.
Conical waves in 3-D Riemann problems. The case of the Chaplygin gasDenis Serre, Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, FranceWhen solving a Riemann problem in space dimension D, one uses the solutions of several Riemann problems in dimensions from 1 to D-1. However, new patterns do occur, which do not exist in lower dimension. In 3-D, an important one is called Conical Wave. It is present in the wake of three interacting planar shocks. We describe the mathematical problem attached to the CW, and we solve it in the case of a Chaplygin gas.
Symmetry of the linearized Boltzmann equation: A theory from steady to unsteady problemShigeru Takata, Kyoto University, JapanRelations between different problems described by the linearized Boltzmann equation (LBE) are discussed on the basis of the classical symmetry of LBE and kinetic boundary condition. The theory is developed for the system of arbitrary Knudsen number (Kn) from the view point of the Green function. After showing the main idea of the approach to steady problems for bounded and unbounded domains, its extension to unsteady problems in a fixed bounded domain is discussed. In particular, in the latter, recovery of Kubo formula for the viscosity and thermal conductivity in the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and its extension to the systems of arbitrary Kn will be presented.
Mixed-type and degenerate equations and steady continuous transonic flows in nozzlesZhouping Xin, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong KongIn this talk, I will report some of the recent progress on the studies of steady compressible irrotational flows in a class of two-dimensional nozzles with variable sections. We first present a existence result on the continuous subsonic-sonic flows in a converging nozzle with given mass flux and flow angle on the inlet of the nozzle whose sonic curve is a free boundary where the acceleration blows up. Then we will discuss the existence of smooth transonic flows in a class of smooth de Laval nozzles.
Well-posedness and qualitative properties for Boltzmann equation without angular cutoffTong Yang, City University of Hong Kong, Hong KongIt is known that the singularity in the non-cutoff cross-section of the Boltzmann collision operator leads to the gain of regularity in the velocity variable. By defining and analyzing a new non-isotropic norm which precisely captures the dissipation in the linearized collision operator, we first give a precise coercive estimate for general physical cross-sections. Then the Cauchy problem for the Boltzmann equation is considered in the framework of small perturbation of an equilibrium state where the global existence of classical solution is established in a general setting. With some essential estimates on the collision operators, the proof is based on the energy method through macro-micro decomposition. Furthermore, we study the qualitative properties of solutions, precisely, the full regularization in all variables, uniqueness, non-negativity and convergence rate to the equilibrium. The key step to obtain the regularizing effect is a generalized version of the uncertainty principle together with a theory of pseudo-differential calculus on non-linear collision operators.
In this talk, the part on existence and convergence rates will be given and other part will be given by R. Alexandre's talk.
The results of this talk are from a series of joint works with R. Alexandre, Y. Morimoto, S. Ukai and C.J. Xu. And the research was partially supported by GRF of Hong Kong 103109.

NSW authorities and the Department of Defence debated for years about whether to investigate potential contamination of waterways from toxic chemicals used at RAAF Williamtown.
Then on Friday they warned residents and suspended commercial fishing.
State agencies began letter-boxing residents living near the base and contacting 26 Tilligerry Creek oyster farmers, after issuing a notice late on Thursday that people should not drink bore water, or eat eggs from backyard chickens or fish caught nearby.
It follows the detection of chemicals from firefighting foam used at the base in the past around Tilligerry Creek and Fullerton Cove in the water and in elevated levels in fish.
Authorities admit the full extent of potential harmful health effects of the chemicals – perfluoro-octane sulfonate and perfluoro-octanoic acid – are unknown. Oyster farming and fishing in the area remain suspended.
''The [Environment Protection Authority] refers to these as emerging contaminants because we don't fully understand what the issue is, whether they are carcinogens or not,'' EPA chief executive Barry Buffier said on Friday.
''All the studies that have been done in relation to these chemicals have been done in animals – there haven't been human studies.''
But exactly when the chemicals were first detected outside the base remains unclear.
Mr Buffier said the EPA first learnt of the problem on August 18, when it received a draft report from Defence.
NSW authorities had urged the Commonwealth for the past few years to investigate, after Defence changed its policy on the use of the chemicals in 2008.
Like hundreds of others residents living in the RAAF base's shadow, Lindsay Clout said he was horrified when he read about the pollution threat in Friday's Newcastle Herald.
''There's been a lot of rumours about what sort of chemicals they have used up there over time,'' said Mr Clout, a Fullerton Cove resident.
''Today they have basically told us that we may have been drinking the stuff back in 2006. How can anyone feel safe after getting news like that?''
Defence completed a preliminary assessment in 2013 before commissioning a further report.
''The report came about because we had been asking the Commonwealth to do further studies on this to look at the possibility of offsite contamination,'' Mr Buffier said.
Public notification of the contamination coincided with budget estimates sessions at NSW Parliament on Friday, where bureaucrats defended taking two weeks to notify the public after receiving the draft Defence report.
Department of Primary Industries director-general Scott Hansen said: ''We didn't hold this for any reason.''
Advice had ''gone out as soon as facts were known to be able to give a series of advice to residents without scaring them unnecessarily about potential impacts''.
''Two weeks after you knew about it?'' Labor MP Penny Sharpe said.
''Two weeks after it was first raised by the Department of Defence that there might have been an issue,'' Mr Hansen said.
Asked by Labor MP Mick Veitch how long Defence had been ''sitting on information'', Department of Industry secretary Simon Smith said: ''That's a question for them.
''We've been very pushy to try to get the information that we needed to be certain as to what action should be taken and we've taken it very quickly.''
Port Stephens MP Kate Washington said she was appalled at how details of the pollution risk were passed to the community via media release on Thursday night.
''The government has known about this for some time yet they chose to drop it in the middle of the night in a most alarmist and confronting way,'' Ms Washington said.
''There are a lot more questions than answers.''
Ms Washington said she had sought an urgent briefing from Environment Protection Authority about the matter on Friday afternoon.
Sources said Defence representatives had urged that a public warning not be issued, during a phone hookup with various state agencies on Thursday before a statement was issued later that night.
Defence was also said to have objected to paying for the further sampling of fish and oysters that is now being conducted.
It did not respond to inquiries from the Newcastle Herald on Friday afternoon.
Mr Buffier told the estimates hearing Defence ''were cautious about what would be the best way to put it into the public domain'' but not ''resistant''.
He said the EPA had wanted Defence to undertake the studies of potential offsite contamination because the EPA had a ''finite budget'', the ''polluter pays'' and because ''we don't have the ability to regulate the Commonwealth on these matters''.
Though it did not respond to questions, Defence issued a statement on Friday that said it was committed to working with state agencies.
''The health and safety of people who reside near our bases and Defence personnel who work, or have worked, at these bases is a high priority for Defence,'' it said.
A Hunter Water spokesman said two bores in the nearby Tomago sandbeds had been shut down as a precaution.
''The bores have shut down for some time now. Our testing hasn't shown any sign of contamination,'' the spokesman said.
A NSW Health spokeswoman said expert advice was being provided about the potential health impacts to the community from potential exposure to environmental hazards.
''NSW Health, often with the assistance of an external expert, assesses risks to health, identifies ways to reduce this risk in collaboration with other agencies, and contributes to the communication of this risk through providing information to affected individuals and medical practitioners,'' she said.
All about Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
* Are fully fluorinated man-made compounds. They do not biodegrade and are persistent in the environment.
* They are mainly used in manufacturing and industrial industries as a surface-active agent in a wide range of products including coating additives, firefighting foams and cleaning products.
*According to the United States Environmental Protection Authority, the chemicals pose adverse effects on the environment and human health because of their ''toxicity, mobility and bioaccumulation potential''.
* Drinking water has been a major route of exposure in the US.
* Exposure can lead to the chemicals staying in the blood, kidney and liver for years.
*Studies in rats show the chemical is easily absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
*Studies in mice show the chemicals decrease the immune response of B-cells and T-cells, and induces tumours in the liver, pancrease and testicles.
*Other studies confirm the side effects include developmental delay and reproductive problems.
* PFOS and PFOA can be found in soil, air, and groundwater at contaminated sites.
* They have been detected in human blood within the general US population, and in wildlife.
* The US EPA has concluded exposure to the chemicals is widespread and chemical concentrations are higher in workers and individuals living near fluorochemical production facilities.
*PFOS has been shown to accumulate in fish tissue. Fish and fishery products seem to be one of the primary sources of human exposure in the US.
* Contaminated food and water, using commercial products and inhaling the chemicals are other ways people have been exposed.

Hi everyone!
Sorry for the delay between blog posts! I have had the craziest two weeks as the quarter drew to a close and felt like all I did was study and sleep! However, I'm on Touissant break now which is a two-week break spanning October and November and let me tell you; it is very much appreciated. Shout out to the French school system!
You probably didn't know but my first month in Rennes has already passed by, and I'm halfway through my second one, time does fly. I've made a video that documents my first month, and as soon as I figure out how to upload it, I will post a blog post about it. I decided that I want this blog post to be about all the differences that I've noticed between France and America. So, here we go!
1.) Lifestyle
One of the biggest things I've noticed is the general difference in lifestyle between French and American people. In America, I am always stressed, rushing from one place to another, having a quick breakfast or lunch, and barely having enough time to think. However, in France, everything is so different than life in the States. I wake up almost an hour later at 7:30 am due to school starting at 9 in the morning versus 8 am. I have a small but relaxed breakfast of orange juice and a croissant or some bread and butter. I walk to the bus station and have a leisurely walk to my school while I listen to music. In the states, I wake up as late as possible, 6:00 am to try to catch as much sleep as possible. I rush through breakfast and am stressed out from the beginning of my day to the end of it. French people, in general, take longer to do things, such as taking at least 10 minutes to bring you the check at a restaurant, or having breakfast, and even casual conversations. When they do something, they do it with care and put time into it.
2.) Food
Food was the most significant shock to me when I arrived in France. The food is prepared and eaten with so much more care and respect. A lot of their diet is made up of butter, cheese, and carbs but what they do eat, the eat a little of it, and they take their time to eat it. I eat lunch at the local public school, Jean Macé and let me tell you; this government-funded school would put many private schools in the States to shame. Every child gets a dessert, fruit, bread and cheese, an appetizer, and a truly delicious hot meal with protein, healthy carbs, and lots and lots of vegetables. There is no soda available and the only beverage offered is water. I have an hour to eat lunch versus the 30 minutes I usually get in the States. Dinner here is at least an hour long and a family affair. There hasn't been a single day that we don't start with every single person present. The food is always prepared fresh an hour before, the table nicely set, and the whole family helping out. It indeed is a stark difference from dinners for most people in the States.
3.) Sports
Albeit a smaller difference, I think it is still significant enough to be mentioned. French kids do not play organized sports. If they do, it's one day or two at the most. When I told my host mother that I do rowing five days a week for 2 hours, she almost had a heart attack. Over here, I'm rowing 4-5 days a week and when people find out they look at me like I'm crazy. Sports in France is not the craziness that has gripped America in the form of soccer moms and 4-hour practices six days a week.
These differences although seem huge now seems normal to me. I've gotten used to the "Le rythme Français, " and it seems like normal life to me now. However, as I get more and more comfortable in my life here I can't wait to see all the new differences I will discover!
Stay tuned for a blog post full of pictures from my Loire Valley Trip I just returned from and hopefully that video I made for September.
See you soon!
A bientôt!

Rude Awakening.
Rude Awakening.
My tastebuds and I were in for a rude awakening. A usually undisputed claim French food is considered the god of cuisines. Unchallenged and proud it comfortably sits atop many "best cuisines lists" and its offerings are a dream for many people. I was unbelievably excited about french food, being such a pastry fiend. This past week I have indulged in every known french food. From flaky croissants, kouign aman, snails, quiches and of course a never ending stream of butter, bread, and cheese. I came to a startling revelation on my Tro Breizh(more to come in a later post). French food, at least the food I've been eating isn't the most flavorful. While delicious, it mostly relies on rich fats to send pleasurable signals to the brain from the tastebuds. Yesterday, my friends and I were roaming around Quimper, France and we decided to get a quick bite at a Thai restaurant nearby. I ended up ordering Pad Thai avec fruits de mer(assorted seafood). While waiting we smelt the most amazing melody of scents filled with spices and citrus. I was literally salivating. When our food arrived, I looked at my plate and attacked it. It was like a revitalization of my tastebuds. A beautiful blend of spice, sweetness, and lemony tartness. Ever since I left the States I didn't even realize I've been missing the need for spices in my food. My mom, Saira is an amazing cook and very expertly knows how to make a meal where that balance of umami is found, a balanced blend of spicy, sour, sweet, and bitterness. I have been lacking umami in France. However, while this may seem very harsh to the French I am very much still in love with their food. It's delicious and famous for a reason. I'm not discounting their cuisine, I just realized that there is more to life than croissants, bread, butter, and cheese.
See you soon,
<3 Laila
First Week
The First Week.
It's been quite the journey. All the way from East Greenwich, Rhode Island to Rennes, France I've had a multitude of experiences. From inconvenient flight times, getting lost in the Charles de Gaulle Airport, meeting my host family and experiencing my first bout of homesickness it's been eventful to say the least.
The day of my flight I was unbelievably excited and nervous to embark on the wildest joinery of my life yet. I was about to enter a country totally foreign to me with a different language. It was going to be interesting to say the least. Through awkward hello's and questions through the flight and time spent in airport I started to get to know the generally nice class of SYA France 2018. When we landed in Paris we were all jet lag, tired, and confused. It ended up with half of the group, me included getting lost in the airport for a good hour. However, like any other problem we solved it with a lot of confused looks, franglais, and face timing the other half of the group on our spotty international data. We eventually boarded the bus and most of us knocked out immediately. We ended up stopping briefly at a very futuristic looking gas station and half asleep we all went in and had our first meal in France. For me, a pain au chocolat and a bottle of l'eau. We soon arrived in Rennes and entered our school for the first time, a converted mansion. That's when the real butterflies hit, I was about to meet the people I would be living with for the next year.
When the RD(Resident Director) called my name I got up and got the first glance at my family in the flesh. My host mother and sister had come to pick me up and I honestly don't even remember my initial thought. I stuttered a few words in French and my mother, Marie just smiled, understandingly hugged me and ushered me to the car. The house itself is extremely charming and I am absolutely in love with my small but trop mignon(very cute) room.
However, one of the things I was not ready for is how much the french conserve electricity. The houses feel perpetually cold to me and I'm always looking for a second sweater. It also rains. A lot. Constantly. There has not been a single day where it has not rained. The days start out pleasantly enough but sure enough a drizzle starts eventually. I have really started to regret my choice to not bring an umbrella. My host family even took me to their countryside home in Cap Fréhel. It was honestly one of the most beautiful place I have ever been.
However, Rennes is a place of immense beauty and I cannot wait to explore more of it once I have my footing. I get the odd bouts of homesickness when I see something that reminds me of American or after a phone call with my mother but I know that's normal. My french is already getting better and I look forward to the daily dinners with the whole family where Marie makes delicious meals and I can practice my french in an informal situation. I am already adjusting to life in Rennes and I can't wait to see what the next 8 and a half months bring.

Slowly freaking out...
As the day to leave approaches closer and closer(13 days now!) I've slowly being filled with a mixture of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, exhilaration, and a whole lot of fear I'm slowly questioning what kind of decision I had made. As I sit in my bed in the middle of the night, reading article after article about how hard living abroad is and thinking about how difficult of a time I'm going to have with my rudimentary french skills I decided that instead of spiraling into panic mode and stress eating seaweed snacks from TJ's(highly recommended by the way) I should probably take a deep breath and blog about it.
I received a letter from my host sister, a seemingly lovely girl and I can't wait to meet her. However, reading her very grammatically correct and complex french letter had me typing the words google translate in my search bar and painstakingly figuring out what exactly she wrote. I then realized I had to write back, and that whole experience really made me freak out. However, as I sit here typing I'm slowly reminding myself why I made this decision in the first place. Yes, it most probably will be unbelievably hard to acclimate myself to a new language, especially one that I've had trouble with in school(why didn't I pick Spain again?).
I've slowly been trying to get my mind in the right headspace for this new venture, and it's made me think about a lot of things. Mainly, about how much I'm going to miss all my family and friends, even my school. My brother, who is becoming a freshman in my high school this coming fall was telling me about how many people kept asking if I was his sister while he was at soccer preseason. For some reason, it made my heart ache in a way that i didn't realize it would. Missing out on a whole year of your high school is a big deal and I don't think I had even digested that fact. I teared up a little as I realized I would miss my little brothers' first year of high school and all the memories that come with it.
However, as I look at the pictures of Rennes, France I know that I'm about to do something not many people get the chance to ever do. I know I'll be living in a new country, eating croissants and spending days walking the cobblestone streets in the city I'm living in. I know that I'll be traveling around Europe, meeting new people and exploring new cultures. No matter how hard it may be, I am 100% positive that in the end it will be worth it, and I can't wait to take it on.
Until next time!

Counting Down
Hi everyone!
This is my first blog post about going to Rennes, France for a school year abroad. In all honesty, it hasn't even sunk in yet. I have less than a month to go and I have to start figuring out how I can possibly compact a year of living into one suitcase. I know. One suitcase for nine months. I find it hard to take one suitcase for three weeks much less a whole school year. As the day of my departure creeps closer and closer I am reminded more and more of the people I will miss, especially my family. My younger brother and I, who usually fight constantly have slowly started to dial down our cat fights in the face of me leaving soon. I know that this year will have plenty of ups and downs(hopefully more ups) and that it will be an awkward first month, trying to navigate my new family, school, language, and city but I know it'll be worth it. I can't wait to take on this journey and to bring you all with me. If anyone has spent time abroad either in high school or college, feel free to let me know any experiences or tips you have to share!
Lots of love,
Laila <3

'Til it's gone, ya know. And since my poor car is currently on the list of things that are gone (damn transmission!), I thought I'd offer y'all a little gem I made up for The Book of Face ages ago (reworked slightly, of course!). I present:
- Central Heat may in fact be the thing I miss absolutely the most. I freakin' HATE to be cold and a fire just don't cut it.
- Liquor/wine/beer I don't have to make for myself. Check out my high school chemistry grades if you think me trying my hand at moonshinin' won't end in blood.
- This one got tooken from me already (thanks, pancreas!): The freedom to eat whatever I want, whenever I want. Still, I figure I'll look back at chicken and rice FONDLY when all there is to eat is looter-meat.
- Being able to go places . Walking sucks and horses can be assholes, so it's really not worth it.
- Water I don't have to boil or filter… wait, I live in Wes'BYGAWD Virginny, I don't have that NOW. How about, water I don't have to CARRY?
- Hate to say it, but I will miss the hell outta TV. Oh, idiot box, we hardly knew ye.
- Books, especially new books. Stephen King ain't gonna be cranking out the next bestseller when the crops need a-sowin'.
- The ease of communication. Even with Kevin Costner delivering the mail, he still can't beat the phone and the interwebz.
- STORES! Much as I hate to shop, if I need a new outfit, I go out and buy it. If Laura Ingalls wanted a new outfit, she freakin' MADE IT. Suffice it to say, when the End Times come I'll be wearing a potato sack.
- Meat I don't have to catch, raise or kill.
- Antibiotics — sometimes you really gotta hand it to the White Man's Medicine.
- Strangely enough, the government. It was nice having someone to blame.
- The ability to be SURPRISED by the weather ("well, hot damn, it's snowin'!"). An agrarian society won't have that luxury.
- Speaking of luxuries, how about safety, security and just general fuckin' around time… say bye-bye to all that!
- Toilet paper, and while I'm at it, Kotex… and while I'm at THAT, Monistat.
- PAPER… FUCKING… TOWELS. You think it's funny, but you know how pissed off you get when you're out? Now imagine that's FOREVER.
- Music I don't have to make myself. All I play is clarinet, and that badly.
- Vitamin tablets. Gonna get the scurvy.
And because I couldn't leave y'all without some serious deep thoughts to ponder all weekend..
19. The way it feels to live your life NOT having ever had to kill someone.
20. The ineffable luxury of being able to feel pity.
So that's it — time to get one of those Australian dogs and attach knives to our hubcaps. THUNDERDOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Low Tax Policy and National Debt
When reading headlines about Greece and Ireland in debt crises, we see photographs of the leaders of the world bamboozled. These disturbing pictures of educated men crumbling under the weight of unadulterated lies told to them by other supposed educated men who study such things should trouble us. When a man such as Alan Greenspan, the celebrated hero of the Neocon deregulation and "low-tax" revolution engages the "liberal" press out of retirement, and states his philosophy of deregulating debt was wrong, that he caused a destruction of wealth the likes of which the world has never seen, how are we to proceed? How are we to proceed with any advice from a man that has been horribly wrong, yet claims to be incredibly enlightened? As the leader of a business, would you take the advice of a man who had made a mistake that had nearly bankrupted you, but had claimed that he had learned from the experience?
Like any other business, our government maintains a balance sheet of outstanding debt and incoming revenue; however, many continue to discount the reality of the numbers on this sheet, or their relevance to us. The reasons for this vary widely. Previous generations cited our military might and strategic positioning in the world as reasons that the faith and credit of our nation was one of the strongest in the world. And many of the same economists that believed the market had a steady hold on the credit default swaps and the mortgage bubble still believe that the market has a steady hold on our debt, which is "marketed" to foreign countries and investors in the form of Treasury Bills.
The truth is neither of these insurance policies are good ones. Economists can no more predict the outcome of particular financial instruments than they can the results of a Poker game. As evidence, I cite that there are as many bankrupt traders as there are rich ones. However, the wiser ones are typically the poorer ones.
As far as our military might is concerned, the number of nuclear powers in the world is increasing, despite our attempts to control it, and a nuclear threat from another nation is an inevitability. As far as our tactical infantry and fighter planes are concerned, I will allow others to gauge their success in recent history, particularly in Afghanistan, where we continue a war for a decade against the likes of everyday mad men with machine guns.
The truth is, the days of coercing others to invest in our economy, and/or proving that others will always invest in our economy through the use of sophisticated mathematical formulas are clearly numbered. The world today is smarter than that, and the playing field is much more level. The lesson of history is that every great empire eventually falls. The difference between America today, and the Historical America that many today seem to dream about and long to see restored, is that Historical America seemed much more aware of the possibility of its failure. While I don't want to be particularly morbid about our eventual failure, I do want to confront the American psyche: we cannot always be the only game in town, militarily speaking or economically, and the idea that we are is toxic. It is this attitude of self-sufficiency, invincibility, and even entitlement that lead to the current crisis that we are all facing, and it has lead us down horrible roads in our history as well, from the peculiar institution to the genocide of this continent's indigenous people; it will only prove to annihilate us the tighter we grasp to the idea.
There has been much talk about tax policy, and not surprisingly many are clinging to the idea that we can continue to have other countries that are working much harder than us pay for our way of life. This too is one of the greatest lies that has ever been told.
Historically and during one of the most industrious and prosperous times in our nation's history, the most profitable members of our society bore the burden of our government's bills through higher taxation. This much is entirely clear from observing tax rates from the past century. In 1917, due to debts incurred from WWI, the top tax bracket of those making over $2,000,000/yr (approximately $34,000,000 dollars in today's money) was 67%. Post WWII, that top bracket tax rate surged to 94% for those making $200,000 (or $2,000,000 per year in today's money). The top tax bracket stayed above 70% until 1980, when the Reagan administration dropped the tax rate in the top bracket to 28% over the course of its tenure. It's not surprising these drastic changes to our tax law have increased the debt burden on our government tremendously.
One might think that this type of policy might have increased personal savings rates because people had excess money on hand, but peculiarly, those also decreased in the same time frame (until recent months, when we entered the Great Recession.)
To be clear, personal savings rates can also mean that people are paying down debt, it is simply money that is not being spent on goods in the economy. When the savings rate went lower, that may have meant that all the excess money people were given was being spent, but it may also have meant that people were getting poorer by eradicating existing savings and/or borrowing to buy more goods.
This is why I do not consider government spending as a percent of GDP a valid utility in assessing government spending, although I have seen this statistic published numerous times since the recession took hold as justification for our current tax rates and current level of spending. One of the main components of GDP is private consumption. To increase the size of GDP, you simply get people to consume more goods (and borrow more money). Clearly, just because private citizens are spending more money, does not mean the government should also spend more. We can see this by the accumulation of public and private debt in the past 30 years.
Popular statistics to trend wealth track household income year over year; these show a modest positive gain in wealth during the 1980's. However, this might be misleading. Why is this? During the 80's there was a vast reordering of the number of people in the workforce per household, especially as more women were entering the workplace. Divorce and a move away from the typical family model is also cited many places, which could have decreased the number of persons per household. This all could have added up to a wash, but I'm not sure we'll ever know. (Because of this breakdown of the family, the other common statistic –per capita income– would also be misleading, as people were having fewer children.)
I hear your question. Could people have actually been getting monetarily poorer, despite an overall break in taxes for everyone? Is this possible? I will leave it for you the informed reader to make that determination. However, I'm not sure that it really matters, as it is clear that lower taxes for the top tax bracket did not make any other tax bracket in terms of percentage increase in income as wealthy as the top one. According to Wikipedia, for the period of 1967-2003, "the income of the 95th percentile [in the US] grew 15.2% faster than that of the 80th, 146.8% faster than that of the median and 159.9% faster than that of the 20th percentile." The top 1% experienced the greatest gains of anyone, and the share of income held by the top 1% was as large in 2005 as it was in 1928. Strangely, in 1928, the highest tax rate for the wealthy was similar to what it is today, and even a little lower at 25%. After the stock market crash in 1929, it took three years for the tax rate for the wealthy to correct back to 63% in 1932.
Presently, both Ireland and Greece today tax their highest tax bracket at 41% and 40% respectively, a rate that we have not used since 1985. These countries also carry a VAT which is similar to our state/local sales tax. It's interesting that the Greece austerity measures include items like freezing Greek pensions for 3 years, and increasing the retirement age for working mothers, while they are only willing to increase income tax on the highest tax bracket by 1%. In Ireland austerity measures propose tax rates for the highest earners remain below 52%. Meanwhile similar cuts for working class people in terms of pension reductions, and an increase in the VAT (which effects lower income earners more) have been implemented. In the mean time, Ireland's economy has tanked.
My conclusion from this data is that history is clear in these matters, either the richest among us must bear the burdens of society –the one which they leverage progressively more as they earn more money from it– or we must learn to live with a lot less as a society. When our wealth is poured in huge black pools of private investment, where it is not spent, or worse yet, used to pump up the consumerist economy for its own financial gain, we do nothing more than lose our savings, and our children's savings. I'm sure others may draw other conclusions, but I'm interested to hear counter arguments.

On the way home we watched my favorite Christmas movie...Elf! It is so funny. I love when he burps really loud and long and then looks at his little bro and says, "Did you hear that?" I can totally relate to his "sugar addiction." If ya ain't seen it...what are you waiting for?!

Not really since we just got done with breast feeding class. I know that certain people feel the classes are overrated but I learned a lot and I think David did too. It has been a long day though.
We both took off tomorrow for the dr appointment and then we start childbirth classes tomorrow night. It's a long 2 hours in a very uncomfortable chair. But they told us to bring pillows and a blankie so maybe we can take a nap? Not really.

when you've had time to on these things to reflect
don't rush to judgment others may be weak
but have some power do not your thoughts project
unless you've got a chance to obtain what you seek
without contempt either for soft or meek
you're not the only actor in this long play
nor yet the sole source and creator of critique
your feet may stumble long ere they find the way
you've not been paid nor will you soon collect
what is long due for your service this week
it would not be a good thing right now to interject
your message for you've gone far up the creek
and to speak now would demonstrate great pique
besides which they won't hear a word you say
you think your experience strange or unique
your feet may stumble long ere they find the way
there's no need here to accept or to reject
the thing that comes be it so smooth or sleek
it comes to us in gaudy form attractively bedecked
in robes much folded from which weapons peek
your choice is to be silent or else to shriek
in loudest proclamation of horror and dismay
announcing to the world your yellow streak
your feet may stumble long ere they find the way
prince your commander's received his pratique
they ship's made steam and must its anchor weigh
the course is set towards a port most chic
your feet may stumble long ere they find the way
Odd ravings, comments, and other wastes of time. Some are in plain prose, yet others are in rhyme.
