On Friday, November 30, Mayor Michael Bloomberg made his way out to Queens and visited Alley Pond Park to thank those who have been working to secure the city's parks.
One of the largest issues the department faced was finding trees that were damaged or destroyed by the storm and clearing them. Some trees have to be cut systematically in order to safely remove them so no one or their property is injured during the process.
"Open spaces are reasonably resilient," said Bloomberg. "Every year there are storms, every year some trees come down, and every year they keep going."
Bloomberg said that while the Parks Department want to open the parks as quickly as possible, "the number one priority is safety."
"If it's not safe, we close the park and it might not be popular, but that's what we have to do," he said.
Parks Commissioner Veronica White joined the mayor, and said that 90 percent of parks and playgrounds were up and running.
"It's great to have people out and about as they are here today enjoying our wonderful parks and playgrounds," she said.
White said the Parks Department received roughly 26,000 service requests regarding street trees, and half of them were in Queens. And the hurricane knocked down or damaged close to 5,000 trees in the parks themselves, which created a dangerous environment.
White said that it storm hit at an interesting time, because the Parks Department has been planting trees. "We're ahead of the game, despite Sandy," she said.
Parks employee Patrick McCarthy has been cutting large limbs from the tops of trees. He said that the closer one gets to the trees, the easier it is to see how structurally weak the trees have become.
"Some of the branches are split down the middle," he said. "Some are still solid, but there's always a little mystery involved.
McCarthy said a tree that had just been cut down would have eventually fallen on to a house across the street.
Up close they look very damaged, a lot of things you can't see from the ground," he said.

I'm often asked what my opinion of The Grocery Game program is, and frankly, I haven't used it personally in about seven years. There are so many free resources for this information these days that I'm left wondering if there is a real value proposition in paying $10 or more ($10 for the first store and $5 for each additional store) every two months for access to coupon match-ups.
But maybe there's something I'm missing since it's been so long, so I'm putting the question out to all of my wonderful readers.
Do you use The Grocery Game currently? Do you feel it's a valuable resource in addition to blogs?
Or did you stop using The Grocery Game when you started reading blogs? Do you feel that you can get all of the information you need for free?
Of course there's no right or wrong answer, but I'm really looking forward to hearing your opinions, and I know there are many of you out there wondering this same thing.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Ten years of tamoxifen therapy provided women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer better odds than five years of treatment, British researchers say.
"Five years of adjuvant tamoxifen is already an excellent treatment that substantially reduces the 15-year risk for recurrence and death from estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, but the trial now shows that 10 years of tamoxifen is even more effective," Dr. Christina Davies, a coordinator in the Clinical Trial Service Unit at the University of Oxford in England, said at the Cancer Therapy & Research Center-American Association for Cancer Research San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
The study involved 6,846 women with ER-positive breast cancer between 1996 and 2005. Half had node-positive disease. All the women had been using tamoxifen for five years, and the researchers randomly assigned them to continue treatment for another five years or to stop immediately.
The study, also published in The Lancet, found after about eight years of follow-up, the researchers observed 1,328 breast cancer recurrences and 728 deaths after recurrence.
The treatment allocation had little effect on either recurrence rates or death rates during the period five to nine years after diagnosis. However, during the second decade following diagnosis, the women who continued tamoxifen treatment had a 25 percent lower recurrence rate and a 29 percent lower breast cancer mortality rate compared with women who stopped after five years, the study said.

Editorial Offices Night—PR-4776 RI-4111 Sta. 227 SOUTHERN DAILY CALIFORNIA TROJAN United Press World Wide News Service Z-42 Volume XXIX Los Angeles, California, Friday, January 7, 1938 Number 62 II Duce Massing Troops Foreign Power Says Italy To Aid Spanish Insurgents LONDON. Jan. 6 — <UJUt — Documentary allegations that Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy is arranging for large-scale movements of Fascist troops and war materials, supposedly to the Spanish insurgent battlefronts, were understood tonight to have been presented to the British government. The allegations, in detailed form and describing the purported movements of heavy- naval-type siege guns by the Italians, were reliably reported to have been made by a foreign power. MI ST SAVE SPACE Regular Italian shipping lines have been ordered, according to the information. to hold at disposal of the Italian authorities 91.000 tons of shipping for transportation of the troops and war equipment. At the same time, it was charged. 16 transport ships which were due to have been delivered to Soviet Russia from Japanese shipyards, will be diverted to the Italians "to be employed in the western Mediterranean and Indian oceans.-' SHIPS DIVERTED The documents said the transport ships from Japan were to have been delivered to Russia under liquidation of an arrangement for transfer of control of the Chinese eastern railway to Japan. Italy, it was stated, will not pay Japan for the ships until the economic situation improves. The documents communicated to the British government were understood to have asserted that the Italian naval and colonial ministries. on March 1. will have 40.000 troops available for shipment, together with 64 guns of large calibre and 24 pieces of artillery of naval type mounted on platforms. NAME PORTS All of the men and equipment, it was alleged, would be shipped from Genoa, Naples. Brindisi, and Palermo. It also was charged that a mine layer of the Italian navy would be transferred to Generalissimo Francisco Francos Spanish insurgent flag and would take up a position off the loyalist capital at Barcelona.

He bitterly condemned Fuehrer Adolf Hiller's Na?i regime for its religious persecutions and race hatreds. The former university professor of history, enroute to Washington to report to the state department, WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—n:.P'—Dr. 'Glenn Frank, former president of the University of Wisconsin, tonight accepted the chairmanship of the newly formed program committee of the Republican party and appealed for non-partisan cooperation to relieve the "gravity of a situation which cuts across oil sccticns and all groups."5^" Frank's message of acceptance, ni2de public by Chairman John D. M. Hamilton cf the Republican national committee, said he was accepting the new post without ''any prior obligation" since no one had communicated with him at the time the committee was formed recently in St. Louis, Mo. STATES POSITION He acknowledged that the "business" of the program group is not to promote the interests of any candidate nor is it to write platforms which he said is a task for state and national party conventions. "Since office-holders of the party are not in its membership,'* Frank's telegram said, "this commission is said he resigned in despair after a body of laymen asked to devote four and a half years of diplomatic themselves behind the lines of for-service because he was unable to mai party action to the study of WATT CHECKS GRADUATES Alumni Activities j Disclosed in Report A position paying $916 a month! Nice work if you can get it— and some of the College of Commerce alumni are getting it as indicated by the latest survey of graduates by Dr. R. R. G. Watt and published in this month's Alumni Review. Based on responses from 58 per cent of the commerce graduates since 1938. the survey discloses incomes ranging from *1.200 to $11,-000 yearly. The class of 1928 had 8 median income of $2,500; the class of 1932 had a median of $1.-750; and the class of 1935 had $1,500 for a median. Nearly three-quarters of the alumni are in various branches of commerce, general business and merchandising absorbing the largest number. Others are engaged in accounting. banking, insurance, real estate, transportation and communication, manufacturing, professions. clerical work, and public office. Nearly 17 per cent of alumni have transferred to either teaching, medicine. engineering, journalism, architecture. the ministry, or law. Only one per cent are in positions where their collegiate training is of relatively little use. If trends indicated by the report continue, nearly one-quarter of the graduates will own their businesses in the next eight years and the rest will be in positions of executive responsibility. Dr. Fleweiling Is Honored Dr. Ralph Tyler Fleweiling, director of the School of Philosophy, was unanimously elected president of the Pacific coast division of the American Philosophical association, at its convention at Scripps college.

School of Philosophy. accomplish any great good in the face of Nazi policies. ACTIVITIES HAMPERED "In a vast region where religious freedom are denied and where intellectual initiative and discovery is not allowed, where race hatreds are cultivated daily, what can a representative of the United States do?" he asked. Dodd said that leaders of big business and industry have repeatedly defeated world peace efforts by their greed. WAR THREATENS Another great war threatens, he said, because of the frenzied armaments race. The logical outcome of the present war preparations is another war and what would another war leave of modem civilization? "The great business and industrial groups failed to recognize the necessity of international cooperation after 1920. Some of their chiefs defeated world peace efforts at Gen-e eva more than once because they thought the sale of arms and war materials more important than world peace. FASCIST FRONT SCORED "With the war preparations and the raising of trade barriers beyond anything ever known in modem history another method of government has been adopted from Rome to Tokyo." He referred to the German-Italo-Japanese alliance against communism that has brought the three governments into close collaboration. "Religious and Intellectual freedom has been abolished over that area." he said. "Jews have been expelled and imprisoned. No doubt the Hebrews have profiteered at times, but what other race has been free from such members.'" SCHEDULE OF FINAL EXAMINATIONS GIVEN Final examinations for the first semester 1937-38 will begin Friday, January 28, and will continue until Thursday, February 3, according to Theron Clark, registrar. Examinations will be given in the same rooms in which regular classes are held. Classes Examination Day Examination Hour Reciting 11:25 M.W.F. ...Friday.

RECOGNIZES OBLIGATIONS' "The Republican party recognizes its obligations in the present critical situation to call out and mobilize the full resources of intelligence and action that the rank and file of its millions of adherents possess. "The gravity of the situation cuts across the traditional boundaries of all parties, all sections and all groups. I hope, therefore, that this commission will have access to the deepest desires and best thoughts of workers, farmers, professional men and women, business men, small and large, regardless of party lines or sectional interests. 'SINCERE INVESTIGATION* "As I sense the spirit of the members who have already written to me this commission will not be an agency of petty fault-finding or vindictive attack. It will seek to play its full part in a sincere, open-minded responsible search for the principles and lines of national action that will keep America a going concern—with its business, its industry, and its agriculture, administering effectively to the human needs of the whole people— and insure a way of life congenial to the American spirit." Frank explained he had delayed in accepting the nomination because at the time he was notified of the committee's action he was not in a position to assume a "major obligation of this sort until I had made the necessary readjustments in my other obligations. That alone accounts for this delayed acceptance." French Film To Be Shown On Campus Cine-Camera Club Will Present Film In Old College The Cine-Camera club in co-op eration with Professor K. M. Bis-sell, head of the French department, presents "A Nous La Liberte," a French cinema classic today in 5 Old College, at 9 a. m., 11 a. m., and at 1 p. m. A special showing of the film will also be given at 7:30 p. m. today in 252 Science, in order that those who are unable to attend during the day may have the opportunity of seeing this picture. Rene Claire, best known for the film, ''The Ghost Goes West," is the director. Claire is recognized as one of the greatest directors, and the leading French director. "A Nous La Liberte" tells the story of a vagabond and his adventures in much the same way that Chaplin's "Modern Times" dealt with conditions in America. This is an excellent opportunity for French students to study the country, customs, and language of the French people. This is the third and last picture in the series of film classics presented by the Cine-Camera club that have a direct bearing on the development of motion pictures. These pictures are no longer in commercial distribution and everyone is urged to avail himself of this opportunity by Bernard Zerbe, in charge of the showing. Admission will be 25 cents for each showing of the picture. It is a sound picture and although the dialogue is in French, there are English sub-titles. Cold Is Peace Factor Van Zeeland Proposes World Fund, Arms Limit in New Pact LONDON, Jan. 6—<IIP)—Former i premier Paul Van Zeeland of Bel- i gium arrived in London tonight to! confer with prime minister Neville i Chamberlain on a broad program of; world economic appeasement, in- j eluding financial aid to Germany j and Italy to reduce the threat of ■ war. Van Zeeland's plan, drafted un- j der authorization of Great Britain and France after months of inquiry i that took him to Washington and : other capitals, was understood to have two major proposals: 1. Creations of an international i gold reserve fund at Basle. Switzerland. to which the United States.! Britain, Franch, Germany and Italy would contribute for world stabilization of currencies. 2. A general arms limitation pact. PREMIERS TO CONFER Van Zeeland, who found scant enthusiasm for his World economic forum when he visited Rome two weeks ago, arrived in London after a channel crossing from Ostend end went immediately to the Belgium embassy. Chamberlain will see the Belgium diplomat at No. 10 Downing street tomorrow. Inclusion of the proposal for a general arms limitation pact in his plan was believed to have been decided upon by Van Zeeland to overcome the opposition of certain sections of British public opinion which is determinedly oposed to granting financial help to Europe's dictators without receiving political guarantees. Widney Gives Peace Theory THEORIST Duke, Duchess May Visit California SAN M/lTEO, Cal.. Jan. 6— (U.P)— The Duke and Duchess of Windsor recently negotiated informally with Leon Douglass, scientist and inventor. for possible lease of his 58-acre estate in the fashionable Menlo Park residential area, it was learned today. Mrs. Lawton Langdon, Douglass' daughter, said a representative of the duke "discussed at considerable length the possibility that the duke and duchess might move into the family home," which now is unoccupied. "Negotiations are in the talk stage." Mrs. Langdon said. "As far as I know, nothing definite was ar- POLITICAL PLAY WILL BE SHOWN Students Produce 'Both Your Houses' In keeping with current capital affairs, "Both Your Houses," Puliti-zer prize play by Maxwell Anderson, is to be produced under the supervision of Miss Florence B. Hubbard. The definite dates of the play have been set for Friday, January 21, and Saturday, January 22. Reserved seats for the play, which is the first major production of play productions for the year, will go on sale Monday, January 17. This is the first time in four years that reserved seats have been sold for a play productions presentation. Tickets may be obtained in the ticket office of the Student Union. "In order to obtain good seats, student body books should be turned in for tickets early." said Norman Lehman, head of play productions, yesterday. On her return from New York, where she attended a convention of national association of drama societies, Miss Hubbard stopped at Washington. D.C., to obtain firsthand information for the play. "Both Your Houses" deals with the passing of a huge appropriation bill through congress. The cast, headed by Ben Marshall, has been rehearsing for the ARMS RACE FINISH SOUGHT Chamberlain was believed to have encouraged Van Zeeland to attach the arms limitation proviso as a means of halting Europe's tremendous arms rage in which Britain herself has a $7,500,000,000 share. The international gold reserve, it was pointed out by supporters of Van Zeeland's study, Would provide facilities to break the world's "trade jam" and would go far toward appeasing the demands of the "have not' powers. It would be an effective solution, they said, to Germany's demand for return of her war-lost colonies. Dr. Widney, second president of U.S.C., in offering suggestions for enduring peace, yesterday said the fatal defect in the League of Nations was the failure to remove war causes. Senator Asks Tax Awards Vandenberg Favors Aid to Firms Sharing Profits With Workers West To Direct Discussion Frank L. West, commissioner of education, Latter-Day Saints, of Salt Lake City, will be in charge of the religious forum Monday. Dr. Robert J. Taylor, professor Of religious education, will introduce the speaker who will present the interpretation of the Latter-Day Saints on the general theme. "Organized Religion Building a Better World." The speaker will tell of the history, teachings, and present-day program for social betterment of the Mormon church. Sponsored by the School of Religion, there will be only two more meetings between now and the end of the semester. The lectures will take place at 4 p. m. in Bowne room, Mudd hall. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6— (Ui?) — Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg. R" Mich., potential 1940 presidential nominee, today asked congress to determine whether the government can aid in saving the profits system by making tax awards to bsiness firms which share their earning with employes. He offered a ersolution proposing an inquiry by a senate finance subcommittee of all profit-sharing systems in use in American industry, to provide an authentic record for employers interested in voluntarily establishing such a plan. A resolution calling for a congressional investigation of monopolies has been introduced in the House by Representative Martin Dies, D., Texas. As Vandenberg proposed a new approach to end alleged abuses under the capitalistic system. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes opened a new attack on the "small lawless minority" in business. He Ex-President Of U.S.C. Reaches 97 Dr. Joseph Widney, second presi dent of U.3.C. and student of the affairs of a troubled world, yesterday pointed out a path to peace. Clear-minded and vigorous as he begins his ninety-seventh year. Dr. Widney offered several suggestions for preserving enduring peace. "Remove the causes of war. and wars will cease," he said. "The fatal defect in the League of Nations was not to remove war causes." CAUSES EXPLAINED Among the causes that must be removed before enduring peace can prevail. Dr. Widney listed the following: "A periodic redivision and apportionment of the usable but unused regions of the earth, among its peoples; for land means food. "A careful inter-racial supervision and 'division of the great fisheries of the seas. "The rebuilding of the new civilization upon lines that shall be racial, not merely national, in character." ADVOCATES CONFERENCE Dr. Widney advocated the calling of a "world folkmeet" or conference of representatives of the suffering peoples of the earth to take up problems involving all peoples and all lands and all seas. A former army surgeon, Widney settled for private medical practice in Los Angeles in 1868. Three years later he organized the Los Angeles Medical association and later served on the board of health. FOUNDED COLLEGE In 1885 he founded the College of Medicine at U.S.C., organizing its first faculty. For 10 years he was faculty dean. Upon the death of President M. M. Bovard. the trustees of the university made him president of the institution. Dr. Widney Ls the author of "Race Life of the Aryan Peoples," "The Faith That Has Come to Me," "The Three Americans," and other works.

Tim Tebow still has hope that he can play football this season, and it could be with the New England Patriots, even though they cut him this weekend, or perhaps another NFL team, or possibly in the Canadian Football League.
The former college star turned NFL bust, at least as a quarterback, can take solace in that Patriots Coach Bill Belichick would not rule out the possibility of a return to New England when he addressed reporters Monday in his first comments since releasing Tebow, a 6-foot-3, 235-pound left-hander who completed 11 of 30 passes for 145 yards in three exhibition games, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
"I don't know what's going to happen here in the year, but certainly we've had a lot of players who've left here and come back here," Belichick said. "It's already happened this year."
Belichick said the Patriots released Tebow in the best interests of the team, which usually only carries two quarterbacks on its roster. All-Pro Tom Brady is the starter and former Arkansas star Ryan Mallett has been his backup for three seasons.
"There's a million things that go into a personnel decision," Belichick said.
Los Angeles-based quarterback guru Steve Clarkson believes Tebow would be best suited to playing in the CFL, where dual-threat quarterbacks are often successful because of a larger field and a more wide-open game.
"It's time now to maybe just reconsider a different path to his ultimate dream," Clarkson told USA Today. "Tim might want to look to the CFL because he may have run out of options in the NFL. Sitting is not an option for Tim. He's ultra-competitive. He needs to stick to his strength, which is being in a competitive environment.
"Anyone who wants to work on their craft the way Tim does, he just needs to give himself a couple of days and really decide, 'Is this what I want to do?' Clearly, football is still in his blood."
Tebow also has the option of hoping another NFL team inquires about his services. But that seems like a long shot now after short runs in Denver and New York with the Broncos and Jets, although some teams reportedly inquired about his services before this season as a fullback or tight end.
But Tebow has maintained all along that he's a quarterback and wants to play that position as a pro.

On Monday, June 1, President Niels-Erik Andreasen gave faculty and staff his regular post-meeting briefing following the spring meeting of the Andrews University Board of Trustees.
Don Livesay, president of the Lake Union Conference and the Board vice-chair, chaired the meeting. Elder Gerry Karst, who typically chairs the meetings, was unable to attend.
President Niels-Erik's report to the Board focused on recent trends in higher education across the country. Private sector admissions increases are just a whisker away from the admissions here at Andrews University, recapped Andreasen.
Andreasen also gave a report on behalf of Provost Heather Knight, who was also unable to attend. Knight's report updated the Board on the recent NCA accreditation visit. Next week, noted Andreasen, is the last of the five site visits. The NCA site visit committee chair will return the first week of August to give their final report.
Stephen Payne, vice president of Enrollment Management and Integrated Marketing & Communication, gave an enrollment update. To date, FTIAC's (First Time in Any College) are up 7 percent and applications are up 9 percent compared to this time last year.
The Board approved bylaws for a new corporation: the Center for Youth Evangelism (CYE) under the directorship of Ron Whitehead. While the CYE isn't a new entity on campus, it was necessary to establish it as a corporation, mainly for business and accounting purposes. The Board also voted to establish a quasi-endowment of $750,000 in support of CYE. On a side note, the CYE, organizer for the 2009 Courage to Stand Pathfinder Camporee, expects 35,255 Pathfinders to attend this year's Camporee in Oshkosh, Wis.
The University financial report was given by Larry Schalk, vice president for Financial Administration. Even though the 2008–09 school year had a very high enrollment, benefit costs were up approximately $1 million and there was missing interest revenue due to a drop in milk prices. These losses were balanced out by the increased enrollment revenues, resulting with April ending on budget.
There was discussion, said Andreasen, regarding the financial position sheet and the cash position of the University. An action was recommended and voted that additional revenue for the University would be split 75/25: 75 percent would be dedicated to cash or debt reduction and 25 percent would be used for operations. The Board also approved the requirement for the signature of the University's chief financial officer for the Federal Surplus Assistance Program.
Several capital requests were voted and approved, including new carpet in Lamson Hall ($136,000); new windows ($104,000) and new furniture ($140,000) for Meier Hall; fuel tanks for Transportation ($104,000); and a stage for the Center for Youth Evangelism ($253,000).
The board also approved the Red Flag Identity Theft Protection Program to keep students and others on campus from having their identity stolen. As a recipient of federal grants from the government, the University is required to participate.
The next subject of discussion and action was based on a recommendation made at the beginning of this month by the President's Council to the board regarding capital development at the University. The President's Council has been discussing for some time areas of priority for the University, including a focus on undergraduate students and housing for female students. The President's Council recommended Andrews University work on a housing plan and proceed on the Nethery/Buller Hall plan. As a result, the Board voted and approved the following actions:
1. Excess revenue split 75/25—75 percent for cash/debt reduction and 25 percent for operations.
2. Establish an internal taskforce to bring recommendations on how to respond to housing needs. This taskforce will be expected to make a report to the Board at their October meeting.
3. Begin the Nethery/Buller Hall project incrementally, with the first step being new windows and plumbing in Nethery Hall.
4. Authorization to develop construction plans for Buller Hall. The proposal will require further action at the October board meeting.
The trigger for all of the above will be the fall 2009 enrollment, which is expected to be equal to or greater than fall 2008.
A number of faculty and staff appointments, and retirements were also voted and approved by the Board.

Can you verify that the voltage at pin 3 is varying when you turn the potentiometer knob?
liudr,Read the past posts. I hooked up wrong to the backlite, and the pot worked to dim the backlight. I hooked up as it should have been, and the LCD contrast does not work.Now I have a 330 ohm in series with the backlight and control the brightness with a 10k pot. It works.

Edwards Aquifer Protection Program
About the Program
The Edwards Aquifer is a home to diverse fauna and is a drinking water source for the city of San Antonio and surrounding central Texas communities. Because it is a karst aquifer, fractures, caves, sinking streams, and sinkholes act as conduits to the aquifer from the surface. While this means that the aquifer recharges quickly after a rain event, it also means that any surface pollution from stormwater runoff or spills will directly impact the water quality of the aquifer, possibly impairing drinking water and affecting the sensitive ecosystem.
The Edwards Aquifer Protection Program was created to protect this precious resource. Visit the Regulatory History of the Edwards Aquifer Web page to learn more about how the program was developed.
Before building on the recharge, transition, or contributing zones of the Edwards Aquifer, you must first have your plan reviewed and approved by the TCEQ Edwards Aquifer Protection Program. Once a plan is approved, the site will be monitored for compliance. To find out more about Edwards Aquifer protection plans, why they are necessary, and who is required to submit them, visit the Edwards Aquifer Protection Plan Web page.
The Edwards Aquifer Program staff conducts an administrative and technical review of all applications. The turnaround time for administrative review can be up to 30 days as outlined in 30 TAC 213.4(e). Generally administrative completeness is determined during the intake meeting or within a few days of receipt. The turnaround time for technical review of an administratively complete Edwards Aquifer application is 90 days as outlined in 30 TAC 213.4(e).
In order to conduct a timely review, it is imperative that the information provided in an Edwards Aquifer application include final plans, be accurate, complete, and in compliance with 30 TAC 213.
Only portions of the Edwards Aquifer are regulated by the TCEQ. To find out if your project is located over a regulated zone of the aquifer, you can use our map viewer. The official boundaries, used in our maps, were drawn using topographic base maps from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Action Alert - Tell EPA: "Keep endosulfan out of our food!"
In response to petitions submitted by PAN, Natural Resources Defense Council, United Farmworkers and other groups in February 2008, the U.S. EPA opened another public comment period on endosulfan, this time focused on revoking all food tolerances for the pesticide. PAN and allied groups are submitting new comments demanding that the EPA ensures that no residues of endosulfan are found in food sold in the U.S.—whether it is imported or domestically produced. Endosulfan, an antiquated insecticide, is one of the most commonly detected residues in our nation's food supply. Because it does not easily break down, wind and water currents can carry it thousands of miles. The Arctic is a global sink for endosulfan, where it accumulates in the bodies of Indigenous people, plants and animals. Endosulfan also poses a danger to farmworkers and residents in rural communities near where it is sprayed. Earlier this month, PAN released a report documenting the presence of endosulfan in the air near a school in rural Florida. The comment period ends on October 20 -- you can join the campaign by adding your name to PAN's sign-on petition.
Divers recover sunken endosulfan cargo
Three months after the MV Princess of the Stars capsized in a storm off a Philippine island, the government finally began a $7.6-million, weeks-long process of removing 10,000 pounds of deadly pesticides trapped in the sunken ship. Danger from the toxic cargo has delayed retrieving the bodies of more than 500 passengers and crew. On October 6, the Manila Times reported that all 402 barrels of endosulfan, a neurotoxic organochlorine insecticide, had been safely recovered. Local residents and global environmental groups -- including PAN, Greenpeace, and Health Care without Harm -- were concerned that the 10 metric tons of endosulfan trapped in the sunken ship could put the entire marine ecosystem at risk. The watchdog group BANtay Endosulfan criticized the government for failing to disclose the disposal plan for the recovered chemicals. "There is simply no justification for endosulfan to remain in the Philippines," BANtay Endosulfan leaders told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Philippine activists insisted the recovered chemicals be returned to the manufacturers, and the Philippine Transportation Undersecretary has promised that the fiberboard drums containing endosulfan will be shipped back to Makteshim Agan, a chemical firm in Israel.
EPA halts pesticide-tests-on-kids "temporarily"
The U.S. EPA has temporarily shelved two experimental studies that would have allowed infants and school children to be exposed to potentially hazardous levels of pesticides and other chemicals. One of the studies would have tested the effects of chemical exposure on children under the age of three. In April 2005, the EPA was forced to cancel its Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study (CHEERS), which paid for participation of low-income Florida parents who applied pesticides in their homes in which infant children lived. In February 2007, the EPA formally legalized experimentation on human subjects. The new program, Scientific and Ethical Approaches for Observational Exposure Studies (SAEQUES), was reportedly written by the same EPA investigator responsible for the discredited CHEERS program. Jeff Ruch, Executive Director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) called the announcement of a temporary halt to the program a pre-election "smokescreen to prevent a new controversy ... about the government using babies as guinea pigs." Ruch charged the new ruling "does not have any hard and fast rules to protect children used as experimental subjects" and noted that these corporate-sponsored experiments (often conducted in Third World countries) "are usually designed to justify higher human exposures to pesticides… particularly for children, while serving no discernible public health purpose."
DDT malaria-spraying fails in Uganda
Spraying the insecticide DDT inside homes in malaria-ravaged Oyam and Apac districts has failed to halt the spread of the mosquito-borne disease. "Worryingly, public health data for Lango show that week-for-week, reported malaria cases are higher this year than they were in 2007," Uganda's Weekly Observer reports. Theories to explain the failure range from a longer rainy season to poor performance of underpaid applicators. "DDT spraying was supposed to have prompted an immediate and dramatic reduction in malaria incidence," the Observer reports. "This has not happened." Meanwhile, people whose homes were sprayed (sometimes without their consent or knowledge) have complained of "stomach problems, headaches, flu and red eyes." Bernard Opio, whose home was sprayed in his absence, returned to find "the mosquitoes are still there. They're coming into the house." Ellady Muyambi, General Secretary of Uganda Network for Toxic Free Malaria Control warned most effects are long-term. Muyambi charged that the government "politicized the whole program" and the Observer reports residents were threatened that they would lose "access to public health services if they did not agree to have their houses sprayed."
Bees thrive in pesticide-free Paris
At the same time bees are in serious decline across French farmlands, more than 300 colonies are thriving in the French capital says the International Herald Tribune. Corinne Moncelli, the owner of the Eiffel Park Hotel, believes the reason is simple: "There aren't pesticides." Moncelli's three hives produce 331 pounds of honey each year for the hotel's guests. In 2005, France began the world's largest program to encourage urban apiaries and now hives are buzzing on hotel rooftops, above home balconies and in parks. With $214 billion in global agriculture dependent on pollination, the fate of the bee is linked to the fate of human society. Sogaard Jorgensen, president of Apimondia (The Intenational Federation of Beekeepers Associations), tells the Tribune: "In many countries, the countryside has become a desert for bees." Parisian bees are healthier than their country cousins says Jean Paucton whose hives atop the Paris Opera House seldom show any colony loss while loses in his rural hives can hit 50%. "There aren't farmers anymore," Paucton says, "There are only agricultural companies and they use pesticides." Beekeeper Olivier Darne agrees. "Bees are dying everywhere but in the cities. The bees are speaking to us."
Yoplait yogurt: "Pinkwashing" breast cancer
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this means parades of pink ribbons adorning everything from T-shirts to yogurt containers. To help consumers make informed choices amidst this onslaught of cause-marketing JuJitzu, Breast Cancer Action's (BCA) "Think before You Pink" campaign provides information on how much of each purchase actually goes towards breast cancer prevention and research. Since 2002, BCA has targeted "Pinkwashers" -- companies that plaster products with little pink ribbons advertising their commitment to fighting breast cancer while actually manufacturing products linked to the disease. This year the target is Yoplait yogurt, which uses milk from cows treated with rBGH, a recombinant bovine growth hormone that has been linked to breast cancer as well as a host of other environmental health concerns. "Yoplait has made a public commitment to [fighting] breast cancer, but there are concerns about what's under the lid," says BCA Executive Director Barbara Brenner. "We've invited a dialogue with General Mills, which owns Yoplait, and look forward to a healthy change in their product." rBGH has been banned in Japan, Canada, Australia, and the European Union; and major U.S. corporations like WalMart and Starbucks have stopped selling rBGH dairy products.
Scottish millionaire fined for illegal pesticides
John Dodd, the multimillionaire owner of the 9,670-acre Glenogil estate in Angus, Scotland, has been penalized after a police raid found illegal pesticides spread around his sprawling £4.5 million property. According to The Scotsman, Glenogil, a popular "shooting estate" used by hunters, was "implicated last year in the disappearance of a sea eagle, one of 15 released under a reintroduction program." Sixty police raided the estate after finding "an illegal combination of lethal pesticides on a dead rabbit on a hillside close to the estate." Police found additional evidence of the same pesticides, carbofuran and isofenphos, "on a dead pigeon laid out as bait" to lure game within range of hunters' rifles. The Scottish Government subsequently cut Dodd's agricultural subsidy by £107,659, "the largest ever financial penalty under European Union legislation that demands landowners protect wildlife to qualify for farm subsidies." The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds noted that "agricultural grants to landowners rightly come with conditions" that include requiring "that those receiving public payments protect our national heritage, and that includes birds of prey." Dodd is expected to appeal the penalty.
Rising oil costs benefit organic produce
A new study by Anderson's, a UK farm business consulting organization, predicts the rising cost of fossil fuel will make organic food production more cost effective. According to The Telegraph, "the price of oil could soon make cereal crops grown with fertilizers more expensive than those produced more naturally." With oil expected to top $200 a barrel in five to 10 years, the profit margin on organic barley, oil and wheat will be higher than for non-organic crops. This is good news for Britain's organic producers, following on the heels of troubling reports in late August that sales of organic foods had fallen 20 percent since the first of the year. As the Telegraph explains: "Industrial farming relies on fossil fuels to mine, manufacture and transport fertilizers which replace nutrients in the soil. Organic farming, however, improves soil fertility through crop rotations and is less affected by oil prices." Peter Metchett, an official with Britain's Soil Association, which advocates organic farming, predicts "as oil inevitably becomes scarcer and costs more, economic forces will increasingly favor organic farming." While organic systems "are not perfect," Metchett added, "they do use less energy, generally emit fewer greenhouse gases, can sequester carbon in the soil, provide more jobs and support more wildlife. This report suggests they could also offer a more secure long-term financial future for the UK's farmers."

Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary dysfunction of the brain due to a shortage of blood and oxygen. A TIA lasts no longer than 24 hours. It is sometimes referred to as a mini-stroke.
TIA is a serious condition. It serves as a warning for a
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Blood and oxygen are carried to the brain through major blood vessels in the neck. The blood then passes through a series of blood vessels in the brain. A TIA occurs when the blood flow through the neck or brain vessels is reduced. The blood flow may be reduced by a narrowing or blockage of the blood vessels.
Narrowing of the blood vessels may occur with:
Blood vessels can also become blocked or obstructed by a clot or clump that is floating in the blood. This may be caused by:
Certain chronic medical conditions can affect the health of your blood vessels. These conditions may increase your chances of TIA:
TIAs are more common in men than women in younger age groups. They are also more common in people age 45 years or older, with the highest risk between ages 60-80 years. Other factors that increase your chance for TIA include:
TIA symptoms occur abruptly. They usually last less than an hour, but they may persist for up to 24 hours. The symptoms are different depending on the part of the brain that is affected. TIA symptoms are similar to those of a stroke and need immediate medical attention.
Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will carefully assess your blood pressure and nervous system. The main goal of tests or questions will be to determine your stroke risk.
Tests may include:
A TIA places you at greater risk for having a stroke. The risk is actually highest in the first week after your TIA. Therefore, rapid treatment aims to
decrease your risk of stroke. This can be done with lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery.
Smokers must
quit. Talk with your doctor about the smoking cessation programs.
People with diabetes,
high blood pressure, and/or high cholesterol must make every effort to manage these conditions. It can be done with:
The doctor may also prescribe medications to lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. This will help lower these risk factors.
To decrease the risk of clot formation your doctor may recommend antiplatelet agents such as aspirin.
If the blood clot came from your heart due to atrial fibrillation, anticoagulants may be prescribed.
If you have at least a 70% blockage in your carotid artery (in your neck), doctors may recommend:
These procedures have risks associated with them. Talk wth your doctor about your options.
If the cause of the TIA is a treatable condition, it must be promptly treated. Specific conditions that need further treatment include:

HTC has been pushing out phones with large displays ever since the HTC HD2 hit the market three years ago. Since then a lot of things have changed within the mobile industry, but HTC still thinks that there's huge consumer appetite for smartphones with even larger displays. Enter the HTC Droid DNA. The phone's full HD display is by far its main attraction. But do the phone's design, software and performance match up with our pixel perfect expectations of a great flagship smartphone? Let's find out.
1. HardwareI'll lead with the full 1920×1080 HD Super LCD 3 screen, since that's the groundbreaking feature on the DNA. But really, all the hardware in the DNA is top notch. It uses the Snapdragon S4 Pro, which in case you aren't familiar, is a quad-core processor running at 1.5 GHz with the Adreno 320 graphics processor. It also has a full 2GB of RAM. That all sounds a bit crazy, but with the number of pixels this thing is pushing around I think that it squeezes every last ounce of juice out of that processor.
The DNA also offers the full gamut of connectivity options with Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi (a/b/g/n 5GHz), NFC, DLNA, MHL and, of course, micro-USB. While I can't promise that the latest OS update will always be there, this is about as future-proofed a device as you're going to find at the moment.
As is somewhat inevitable with a 5-inch screen, the DNA isn't a small device. It measures 5.55-inches tall by 2.78 inches wide and 9.73mm thick. It is, however, lighter than you would probably expect. At 4.87 ounces, the phone manages to wear its size well, as I'll cover in the design section.
2. Design
The DNA isn't a significant departure from most Droid branded offerings; it's a basic black slab with red accents. Viewed head-on, the phone is particularly monolithic with just a glimpse of red at the earpiece to break up the inky blackness. Taken as a whole, though, the phone offers a professional appearance without being too staid.
The "fit" of a phone is naturally subjective, but the DNA is one of those phones that just feels right when I'm holding it. The back of the phone is tapered and made of a soft touch material that feels like a high quality case. No question: this is a large device. But HTC has done an excellent job of masking that.
There are two misfires with the DNA design. While neither is catastrophic, they are both quite irritating. The first is the placement of the power button at the top of the phone. I've been using the DNA for a week now and I've started to adjust, but this is still a flawed design for a phone this large. It requires you to contort your hand or shift your grip somewhat awkwardly. The second problem is minor by comparison. HTC opted to cover the micro-USB port with a bit of rubber that I would probably tear off the phone inside of two weeks. Unless you're making a military spec phone, you just don't need to cover the ports.
3. Build qualityWhile the DNA doesn't match the unibody construction of the One X, it still feels like a well constructed phone. The front is protected by the fairly pervasive Corning Gorilla Glass 2, and the back is that soft touch material I already praised. As a purely aesthetic complaint, the back does show lint and fingerprints, but I suspect it'll fare better in a fall than some of the metal- or glass-backed phones out there. And how often are you looking at the back of your phone, anyway?
4. DisplayThe 5-inch 1920×1080 Super LCD 3 display is, without question, the highlight feature of the DNA. It's the first of its kind in the US. Whether this is overkill or not is up for debate, but it's hard to argue with the results. Text and images pop off the screen, and eyesight permitting, it means that you can view webpages in their entirety without ever needing to pinch and zoom. The DNA's 446 pixels per inch (ppi) blows every Apple "retina" product completely out of the water in terms of resolution. And it does a far superior job of faithfully rendering colors than any mobile device I've used previously.
5. SoftwareThe DNA comes with Android 4.1.1 and a helping of Sense 4+ on top. I've never really liked Sense, so I'm going to avoid delving too deeply. Fortunately it continues to scale back,which means there isn't much to dive into anyway. One positive thing that Sense offers is the ability to at least hide some of the abundant bloatware found on the DNA. By and large, though, Sense does feel almost purely cosmetic. Although I do prefer the stock version, I can imagine someone who has historically used HTC devices might like what they see in Sense 4+.
The one inexcusable miscue to me is that HTC or Verizon opted to go with the multitasking capacitive button rather than menu. There's no way to change this in settings, which seems beyond bizarre. You get a fresh reminder anytime you see a menu button appear on screen.
6. PerformancePhones running on Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon S4 processors have been all the rage this year, but the Droid DNA takes things to a new level. The phone is one of the first to ship with the new Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) quad-core 1.5 GHz processor. HTC has paired the quad-core chip with 2GB or RAM, giving the DNA enough power to easily manage its 1080p display and muscle through the most taxing 3D games.
Our benchmark tests show that the HTC Droid DNA performs slightly better than the Samsung Galaxy Note II, but it would be impossible to notice in normal day-to-day use. We did encounter a few hiccups here and there while playing our favorite games (we've been playing Samurai vs Zombies Defense a little too much lately), but we have a feeling that the slight stutters we've encountered will be resolved once developers optimize their games for 1080p displays.

|Samsung Galaxy Note II
|Nenamark 2
|SunSpider 0.9.1
7. Cameras
Taking pictures with the HTC Droid DNA is pure pleasure. The phone comes equipped with an 8 megapixel rear camera enhanced with a BSI sensor and f/2.0 aperture to improve low light picture quality. The hardware components on the main camera allow the HTC Droid DNA to produce images comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S III and other HTC One series devices. If you're not the kind of person who likes walking around with a DSLR all the time, the Droid DNA could definitely act as a replacement for a mid- to low-end point-and-shoot camera. Scaled to 100%, the images are grainy, but most of those flaws will never be visible in a printed image unless you're planing to print an 8.5″ x 11″ picture for your living room wall.
While the main camera on the Droid DNA is impressive, what makes the phone really stand out is its front-facing camera. HTC has equipped a front-facing camera on the Droid DNA with a 2.1 megapixel imaging chip and an amazing 88 degree wide-angle lens. I've never been a fan of self-portraits or video chat; most front-facing cameras on other devices produce images that can only get in my ugly mug. With wide-angle lens, the DNA can easily caputre my upper body and the background in the frame.
If you hold the Droid DNA at arm's length, you can effortlessly capture a group shot of four to five people. Predicting that self-portraits would be a huge draw with the 88 degree wide-angle lens, HTC tweaked the camera app with a two-second timer (triggered by simply touching the screen).
The HTC Droid DNA is also able to capture 1080p video with both cameras. Simply choose which camera you want to use and hit the video button. As an added bonus, you can also snap a 6 megapixel image with VideoPic by pressing the camera shutter button while recording video. If you miss the shot, you can always go back and extract a 1080p (roughly 2 megapixels) resolution image from the video at a later time. The second feature also comes in handy if you want to extract an image from a movie you've saved to the device.
Other HTC Droid DNA camera features include:
- Sightseeing mode: bypasses the lock screen and automatically launches the camera app when pressing the power button if the device was turned off while the camera was in use.
- Burst Mode: press and hold the shutter button to capture four images per second (up to 99 shots) – great feature for capturing that perfect moment with children (who don't always like to smile on cue), group shots or sporting events.
- Panorama Mode: easily capture great panoramic shots with on-screen frame guidance. The feature works vertically and horizontally – allowing users to capture sweeping landscapes or an entire skyscraper in a single image.
Sample Images
8. BatteryWhen I first heard that the HTC Droid DNA would ship with a 2,020 mAh non-removable battery, I was a bit worried. Yes, the HTC EVO 4G LTE and the HTC One X have decent battery life and can manage 11-13 hours on a single charge, but those two phones were paired with a smaller 4.7-inch 720p display. Surely the 5-inch, 1080p display on the DNA would act as a catalyst to make the phone an overpriced paperweight that requires users to be tethered to an outlet three or four times a day.
To my surprise, that couldn't have been further from the truth. In the seven days that I've used the HTC Droid DNA, the phone has averaged 13 hours and 50 minutes on a full charge with roughly three and a half hours of screen-on time. During that time, I used the Droid DNA to stay on top of three Gmail accounts, two twitter accounts, browse the web, play games, capture dozens of portals on Ingress and snap a dozen or so pictures each day.
No, the Droid DNA will not last as long as the Note II or Droid RAZR MAXX, but its battery life is comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S III and should get most users through a full day without any issues.
9. Call quality and soundThe HTC Droid DNA can do some amazing things, but let's not forget that it can also make phone calls. During our week of testing the Droid DNA, we didn't experience any dropped calls. We typically had three to five bars of 4G LTE coverage everywhere we went. I even tested the Droid DNA in the elevator at work (I typically lose all reception with T-Mobile and Sprint devices), but the Droid DNA managed to hold on to two bars of service, and the caller on the other line did not notice any reduction in audio quality. Like most other phones, audio during calls isn't as clear as it could be, but you'd probably only notice if you've had the opportunity to use a phone with Sprint's new HD Voice functionality.
If you're looking for a phone with great sound quality from the speaker phone and 3.5mm headphone jack, the Droid DNA is currently one of the best Android options out there. Yes, HTC is still touting Beats Audio integration as a selling point for the DNA. But, HTC has also included a 2.55v amp for the speakerphone and headphone jack to enhance the audio experience with the phone. Unfortunately, the amp does not increase the volume output from the DNA, but the sound is much clearer when the volume is cranked to max. The difference is subtle, but definitely noticeable if you enjoy listening to music on your phone.
10. Wireless chargingIn past reviews, we've given devices an extra point for incorporating NFC. Yes, the Droid DNA does have NFC, but since NFC is now considered to be a standard feature in high-end Android phones, we think it's now time to shift our focus to wireless charging.
We've covered wireless charging a little over the past few years, but the Droid DNA is the very first Android phone from Verizon to enable the feature right out of the box. For a while, Verizon has been pushing the Qi wireless charging standard and has encouraged many of its OEM partners to provide Qi enabled replacement back covers for their phones. But with the Droid DNA, there's no replacement cover to buy since the wireless charging coil is incorporated directly into the uni-body shell. All you have to do is decide which Qi compatible wireless charger you want to buy.
While Qi is currently the most popular wireless charging standard in the industry, there are still only a handful of chargers available. LG and Energizer have had their charging pads on the market for some time, but we found that Nokia's new wireless charging accessories to be more aesthetically pleasing. A decent charger will set you back about $50, but it's certainly a great investment if you need a few extra hours of battery life every day without having to fiddle with a charging cable or the DNA's ridiculous microUSB flap.
The HTC Droid DNA is, in my opinion, the best pure smartphone on Verizon at the moment. That isn't to say it's the best option for everyone; the Note II offers a number of unique features, and the Droid RAZR MAXX HD, of course, delivers endless battery life. If you aren't swayed by the specific advantages of those handsets, though, the specs on the DNA (and most importantly the screen) are simply untouchable right now. It has some flaws. But they're manageable. And in the end worth it for the rest of what the phone has to offer. I'll be surprised if a year from now this phone doesn't still stack up well against the competition.

Doom-saying party-animal economist Nouriel Roubini has an op-ed in this Sunday's Washington Post and he's contributing to Forbes—when will he start live-Tweeting the apocalyptic economic collapse he's still predicting?
Amusingly, the business school economics professor is now the official national spokesman for we have to nationalize all the banks now. All of them—all four of America's remaining banks!—are insolvent, he insists, and unless the government seizes control of them we're basically fucked.
Roubini is basically responding to Tim Geithner's every move with a lengthy piece in a major publication on how dumb Geithner's plans are. Geithner used to be his boss, right? Dr. Doom is having fun!
The Forbes piece on nationalizing all the banks is for expert readers. For the amateur pessimism porn enthusiast, try Roubini and fellow Stern prof Matthew Richardson's Post Sunday Outlook piece.
Here is why the plan won't work: because if it does work all it will do is prove that Citi and BoA and JPMorgan and Wells Fargo are all insolvent.
But unfortunately, the plan won't solve our financial woes, because it assumes that the system is solvent. If implemented fairly for current taxpayers (i.e., no more freebies in the form of underpriced equity, preferred shares, loan guarantees or insurance on assets), it will just confirm how bad things really are.
And then, hey, all our banks are broke! Nice work Geithner! We know Roubini is "quite a cheerful person with a few close friends and eclectic group of friends" but he is really bringing us all down. Look at the downer note he ends on:
Basically, we're all Swedes now. We have used all our bullets, and the boogeyman is still coming. Let's pull out the bazooka and be done with it.
Oh, great, now we're Swedish. Brush up on your Strindberg and Bergman! There's your great depression, jeez.

According to the Supervisor of 2nd class non-profit at the Post Office, the problem is on the receiver's end. If the magazine does not "bounce back" to us, it is in the system ready to be delivered. Although the magazine is mailed in MD, some members located in the state get their Journal later than members in the in other parts of the country. So - there is really nothing we can do at our end. The printer generally takes a week from the time he receives the files from the Editor. It then takes about 3-4 days for the mailer to get it to the Post Office. If you do not receive an issue, please let me know and I will send a replacement copy.

These are challenging times for the public transportation industry. Customers have become more demanding and discriminating in recent years, increasingly expecting a variety of travel options as well as a better travel experience in general. At the same time, fuel costs are rising and subsidies are falling—a combination that makes for a tough business environment.
What steps are transport providers taking to address these challenges and improve their service as well as their financial picture? To shed light on the characteristics of high performance in public transportation, Accenture investigated the capabilities and strategies of representative cities on four continents.
In part, the answer for providers is to continue to drive better performance in traditional areas: improving punctuality and safety, raising the overall quality of service, increasing capacity and keeping costs under control. Accenture research found, however, that high performers in public transportation are looking to spread their investments between those basic operational capabilities and newer strategies focused on goals such as improving customer centricity, increasing value for money and driving more sustainable development.
These newer strategies can be categorized into three imperatives: maximize demand for services; optimize capacity; and rethink business models to improve collaboration and revenue generation through interaction across the broader transportation ecosystem.
