Liberals May Trim Leaders Next Year
By Kathleen Hunter
Posted September 22, 2010 at 6:49pm
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, frustrated by its inability to influence the Democrats' agenda over the past two years, is considering a new strategy for the 112th Congress that includes changing its leadership structure.
The liberal bloc is co-chaired by Reps. Raúl Grijalva and Lynn Woolsey. Woolsey, who is nearing the end of her sixth year as a leader of the 83-member group, said in a recent interview that she is not ready to say whether she wants to seek another two-year term, but she said she thinks the CPC would function better with just one Member at the helm.
"It's very complicated to have two chairs," the California Democrat said.
Although sources said Woolsey and Grijalva do not always get along, they have kept their disagreements private, and Woolsey stressed that her preference for a single CPC chair simply reflects the fact that the group has matured. The CPC is approaching its 20th anniversary.
"Now the caucus is pretty adult, so maybe they can go ahead with one chair," she said.
Grijalva, who beat out Rep. Keith Ellison for the co-chairman post two years ago when Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) stepped down to lead the Congressional Black Caucus, said he thought the two-leader system had worked well. But the Arizona Democrat acknowledged that some CPC members are making the case that the group "would not get into any divided decision-making issues" with one chairman.
Ellison, one of the CPC's seven vice chairmen, said Wednesday he would be interested in moving up the leadership ladder if a spot opened up. "I am going to serve the organization in whatever capacity the members want me to serve in," the Minnesota Democrat said.
For his part, Grijalva said he wanted another term atop the liberal organization. He said Wednesday that he thinks the CPC has become a force within the larger Caucus, though "not as much as we want or need."
"But that's going to come," he added.
The liberal Democrats tried to wield influence over major debates during the 111th, but had mixed success.
During the debate over health care reform, CPC members threatened to vote against any bill that did not include a public option. But they capitulated, and in March all of them voted in favor of a final version of the health care bill that did not include the public option.
And many liberals were frustrated in November when Democratic leaders gave in to a small group of moderates, led by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), and agreed to allow a floor vote on an amendment to the health care bill that barred government-subsidized insurance plans from covering abortions. The language was approved, and a version of the Stupak amendment made it into the final health care law.
Liberals' inability to match moderates' influence on health care reform — despite their larger numbers — prompted the CPC to enlist the help of outside grass-roots organizations, such as the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and the recently formed P Street Project.
Strengthening the relationship with those groups is among Grijalva's top goals for the CPC in the coming months, he said, adding that grass-roots organizations "can become a very effective arm" to try to influence legislation.
Ellison said the groups can be incredibly helpful, saying: "We often find ourselves in a position where we're looking for leverage. But the leverage we have is the progressive community."
The outside groups were instrumental in getting Senators to publicly support Elizabeth Warren, the liberals' pick to head the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. President Barack Obama instead picked Warren to serve as an adviser to the new consumer agency.
Grijalva also said the groups have helped the CPC collect 70 signatures for a letter urging the president's deficit commission to take cuts to Social Security off the table.
Grijalva said "the Progressive Caucus needs to be positioned to play an even bigger role" next Congress, when the GOP is expected to make significant gains. He described the upcoming debate over the deficit commission's recommendations, slated to be released after the November elections, as one of the "biggest fights" on the horizon for the CPC.
Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder Adam Green said Wednesday that groups like his could help the CPC apply pressure and support for liberal Members on their top priorities.
"The tough part is actually getting them to stand their ground on their position," he said. "It can be a very lonely feeling to challenge leadership. And therefore there's a role for the grass roots in getting the backs of Members that are willing to stand their ground."

Why Hasn't This Teacher Been Fired???
When Stuart Chaifetz, a father in Cherry Hill, N.J., was told his autistic son was acting uncharacteristically violent at school, he sent him to class wearing a hidden recording device that caught a teacher on tape bullying students. NBC's Jeff Rossen reports
Autistic boy's father: Why hasn't teacher been fired over 'bullying'?
By Ian Johnston, msnbc.com
The father of an autistic boy allegedly bullied by staff at a New Jersey school has vowed to keep campaigning until the teacher of his son's class has her license revoked.
Stuart Chaifetz, 44, put a wire on his son Akian, 10, and recorded staff in his class at Horace Mann Elementary School in Cherry Hill calling the child "a bastard," talking about vomiting that morning due to a hangover, and apparently teasing the child to the point where he had a "half-hour meltdown."
The school superintendent said Tuesday that staff who were heard acting inappropriately were no longer working in the district. At least one classroom aide reportedly lost her job.
But Chaifetz said the teacher, Kelly Altenburg, had been moved to another school. The district has refused to comment beyond the superintendent's statement.
"When did teachers become more important than children?" Chaifetz said.
He decided to put a wire on Akian after staff repeatedly complained the child was hitting them and throwing chairs around. He could not understand why his "wonderful, happy" son would act in this way and decided to find out what was going on in the class. Akian's autism meant he was unable to explain.
Chaifetz, speaking in a YouTube video that contained clips from the February recording, said the tape revealed that staff at the school were "literally making my son's life a living hell."
"Okay, Akian, you are a bastard," was one comment on the tape from a woman Chaifetz said he's "99 percent" sure was the teacher.
"Go ahead and scream, because guess what? You are going to get nothing until your mouth is shut," a woman's voice was heard saying in another exchange.
He also recorded a conversation between two people in the class talking about the consequences of a night out drinking wine with a friend.
"You know what I was doing this morning?" said one woman. "Heaving?" asked the other. "Oh my God, so bad. The wine won."
Chaifetz, 44, an investigator with an animal protection group, Showing Animals Respect and Kindness, or SHARK, blames Altenburg for the classroom's atmosphere.
"Even if she said nothing, she should be fired because that room was her responsibility," he said.
However, Steve Wollmer, communications director for the New Jersey Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, told msnbc.com that Altenburg "basically was exonerated" and said Chaifetz "doesn't perhaps understand exactly what happened there."
Wollmer said Altenburg had been reassigned to another school.
"My understanding is the board did that because they wanted to avoid any further contact between parents and her in the class because this guy has stirred up concern among parents," he said.
Wollmer said the association had not been asked to represent Altenburg because "she's not implicated in what's raging out there on the Internet."
Speaking in general terms, Wollmer said that "before people accuse people of things, they want to know if they're accusing them fairly or accurately."
"What if she were not present at the time? There were teacher aides involved in this. What if she were not in that immediate part of the room? If you don't witness something, how can you stop it?" he said.
Altenburg's attorney, Matthew B. Wieliczko, said that "at this time, we have no comment," when contacted by msnbc.com.
"I'm not letting this go. I will take this to the department of education and get her license revoked so she cannot work anywhere else," Chaifetz said.
"I think there need to be offenses that teachers get fired for, regardless of tenure or not," he added. "When you can prove bullying by a teacher, tenure should be meaningless."
Child 'doing much better'
Akian has now left Horace Mann, and Chaifetz said he was "doing much better now he's away from there."
"He doesn't have any of the behaviors he had then. It only happened when he was with the teacher, Kelly Altenburg, and the aide," he said. "But I think he's got some scars from this. How could he not?"
The YouTube video containing clips from the recording had more than 2.9 million views as of 9 a.m. ET Thursday, and an online petition to "pass legislation so that teachers who bully children are immediately fired" had 111,000 signatures.
Chaifetz said the response has had been "overwhelming."
Dad wires up autistic son, 10, to expose 'bullying' by teaching staff
"There are so many wonderful people, people with stories of them being bullied, they are coming in every hour, hundreds of emails," he said. "This is really pervasive. There's a lot of bullying, there's a lot of bullying of special needs kids. It's like an epidemic."
He said his son's case had "opened up a big window into what's going on."
"People feel like they're alone," he said. "One positive thing that has come out of this: They saw a parent standing up and it's helping them stand up too."
The Associated Press has found at least nine similar cases across the U.S. since 2003. It said parents of special needs students had secretly recorded teachers using insults like "bastard," "tard," "damn dumb" and "a hippo in a ballerina suit." A bus driver threatened to slap one child, while a bus monitor told another, "Shut up, you little dog."
Chaifetz said he had given advice to "a couple" of other parents on how to put a wire on their child, after they contacted him about it, but cautioned people to check to laws in their state.
CaseClosed2: Parents must protect their children against bullying teachers and staff. More parents should get the bad behavio of teachersr on video tape and expose what is happening to their children in some of these schools which goes unreported and pushed under the rug. There are teachers who shouldn't be in the classroom, they were bullys as kids and are bullys as aduts.Hidden cameras are necessary to get the truth revealed to the unsuspecting public.
Your kid could be next to be classified a criminal with a criminal in nature school record which will follow the student until he graduates school, or does something to be put in jail because the stress of coping with the vile actions of school staff became too much for him, or her to bear. Let's not let this happen. Let's not allow our children to be bullied by teachers and staff. Get their unprofessional bad behavior on tape.

Essay on Health
Pros To Animal Experimentation Research Paper Sample
Type of paper: Research Paper
Topic: Health, Medicine, Development, Life, Vaccination, Disease, Animals, Animal Testing
Animal research is a serious subject that has caused great controversy over the years. While some people believe animals should not be tested, so to prevent animals from suffering and maltreatment, others advocate the opposite, and support animal research in order to help save both human and animal lives. It is estimated that more than 20 million animals are used in biomedical research projects, mainly because they share organs similar to humans, as well as other animals, and in most cases, they are prone to the exact same diseases that also affect humans (American Association for Laboratory Animal Science). Ever since 1901 and onwards, a total of 17 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to scientists that had used domestic species, such as chickens, cows, and sheep, as biomedical models, at the course of their studies (Michigan State University). There is a long list of milestones in use of domestic species for biomedical reasons, including immunology, immunobiology, xenotransplantation, reproductive biology, cardiovascular disease, biochemistry, nutrition, metabolic diseases, and other diseases, such as diabetes and osteoporosis (Michigan State University). Animal research has played a significant role in every significant medical advance of the 21st century, for both human and animal health alike (Foundation for Biomedical Research).
Benefits of Animal Research on Humans
Among the numerous examples that demonstrate the benefits of animal research, one could refer to the very first vaccine for smallpox -a once fatal disease- which was developed with the use of domestic species, by Edward Jenner (Michigan State University). Smallpox outbreaks have been noticed thousands of years ago and killed many people; however, the disease is eradicated in modern times, after the global vaccination program that has been crowned with success (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Indicatively, the last case of smallpox in the US was reported in 1949, and the general public's routine vaccination against the disease has now stopped, because prevention is no longer needed (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). This would not have happened, unless for animal research.
Since the 1900s, public health and medicine have managed to increase the average lifespan in the US alone by a profound 30 years (Foundation for Biomedical Research). It is estimated that infant mortality in the US has dropped from 55 deaths per 1,000 live births to seven deaths per 1,000 live births, in 1935 and 2002 respectively (Foundation for Biomedical Research). Much of this progress is believed to have been achieved due to animal research.
Polio is another disease that had killed thousands of people worldwide, during the late 1940s (American Association for Laboratory Animal Science). Its peak is estimated around 1952 in the US, with more than 20,000 paralytic cases. However, things changed upon the development of a vaccine in late 1950s that saved many human lives and practically eliminated the disease in developed countries (American Association for Laboratory Animal Science). Today, polio is a forgotten disease in most parts of the world, and only a handful of 16 countries globally have polio cases in some limited areas. With the vaccine, children get full and life-long immune from the disease, just as they get vaccinated for diphtheria, typhus and tetanus, which all used to be significantly serious diseases that created huge health problems to people the world over (Association for Laboratory Animal Science). Therefore, with millions of people free from the possibility to get sick from the aforementioned diseases, one thing is certain: nothing of this could have happened without animal research.
Benefits of Animal Research on Animals
Humans are not the only ones that rip the benefits of animal research. Animals themselves owe much of their health today to animal research. According to the National Research Council (1991), "The same methods that have been developed to prevent and treat diseases in humans have improved the lives of countless animals" (14). Veterinary medicine now uses many approaches that have been developed for humans, via animal research, such as antibiotics, vaccines, and anesthetics, among others. Animal research has managed to ensure a healthier life for pets, zoo-animals, and livestock. Indicatively, a few decades ago, many animals would die from feline leukemia virus, rabies, and distemper to name just a few. Modern treatments prevent animals from contracting the diseases, and enhance their health.
Heartworm infestation is a condition that causes severe suffering to dogs. A heartworm is actually what its name says: a (parasitic) worm of the heart. It uses the bloodstream to travel through all arteries of the animal, until it reaches the lungs and heart, within six months, destroying everything in its passage (ASPCA). It is a serious disease that can lead to the animal's death, if not treated early. However, with current treatments, which have been developed with animal research, animals stand a greater chance of surviving diseases such as heartworm infestation (National Research Council). Other therapies that have proven life-saving for animals include those for cholera in hogs, and tuberculosis and brucellosis in cattle (National Research Council).
Other than that, animal research has greatly contributed to preserve animal species that have been endangered. Being able to come up with effective treatments, obliterate parasitism, and use anesthetic devices, the survival of many species has been ensured (National Research Council). Moreover, "through techniques like artificial insemination and embryo transfer, species that are endangered or have disappeared in the wild can now be managed or maintained" (National Research Council). Finally, breeding in captivity is also made possible, mainly due to the research on animal sexual behavior, which has also contributed to save animal species from extinction.
One of the most argued about issues in recent years is animal experimentation for medical purposes. Opposing viewpoints contradict, and from what it seems, this fight between animal rights' advocates and animal research supporters will last long. However, animal experimentation has brought many benefits to both humans and animals. To begin with, many of the once fatal illnesses that led to millions of people dying from them in the past, are now eliminated, thanks to vaccines that have been developed with animal research. Diseases such as smallpox, tetanus, and polio, among so many others, do no longer pose a threat to human health or life.
In regards animals, had it not been for animal research, many species would have already been extinct, while others would still be suffering and dying from illnesses and diseases, such as heartworm infestation. The use of anesthesia makes a surgical procedure easier than ever before, saving many animals' lives, not to mention the fact that vaccines developed from animal research have contributed to actually maintain the balance in the animal world, and world in general.

Statens haverikommission (SHK) är en svensk statlig  förvaltningsmyndighet som genomför undersökningar av allvarliga olyckor, bland annat luftfarts- och sjöolyckor, och samarbetar med berörda säkerhetsmyndigheter i deras olycksförebyggande verksamhet. Myndigheten, som upprättades den 1 juli 1978, sorterar under Justitiedepartementet. Sedan den 1 maj 2020 är John Ahlberk generaldirektör för myndigheten.

Undersökning av luftfartsolyckor
Till att börja med utredde SHK endast vissa allvarliga olyckor och tillbud inom civil och militär flygverksamhet. Från och med den 10 mars 1982 fick SHK ansvaret att utreda samtliga luftfartsolyckor och allvarliga tillbud som inträffat i Sverige med svenska eller utländska luftfartyg. Normalt utreds haverier med svenskregistrerade luftfartyg som inträffat utomlands av den motsvarande utländska myndigheten enligt särskild överenskommelse.

Alla stater som är medlemmar i Internationella civila luftfartsorganisationen är skyldiga att utreda alla allvarliga haverier med luftfartyg på eget register. Utredarna använder i allt väsentligt samma terminologi och följer i huvudsak samma utredningsprocedur, varigenom haveridata mellan olika nationer blir jämförbara så gott det är praktiskt möjligt. Detta säkerställs bland annat genom internationella kurser för haveriutredare.

Mest känd av övriga staters haverikommissioner är National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) i USA.

Undersökning av andra olyckor
Fr.o.m. den 1 juli 1990 utsträcktes SHK:s utredningsansvar till att omfatta alla allvarliga olyckor och tillbud enligt lagen (1990:712) om utredning av olyckor.

Som exempel på andra allvarliga olyckor som utretts av SHK kan nämnas:
 Olycka med karusell på Midälvaplan i Sundsvall som inträffade den 14 april 2001
 Ystadraset, ett husras på Aulingatan i Ystad som inträffade den 25 maj 2012
 Kollaps av vindkraftverk i Lemnhult, Vetlanda kommun den 24 december 2015

Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Fri Nov 1 2019
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Tropical cyclone activity during October was slightly above normal for the Atlantic basin. Five named storms formed during the month and one of them became a hurricane. Another hurricane, Lorenzo, carried over from the month of September. One tropical depression also formed and failed to strengthen. Based on a 30-year climatology (1981-2010), two named storms typically form in the basin in October, with one of them becoming a hurricane. A major hurricane forms in the basin in October about every third year.

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY FORECAST OF ATLANTIC HURRICANE ACTIVITY FROM OCTOBER 1–OCTOBER 14, 2019
"We expect that the next two weeks will be characterized by above-normal amounts of hurricane activity. "
NOAA's Updated 2019 Hurricane Forecast
"August 8, 2019 NOAA forecasters monitoring oceanic and atmospheric patterns say conditions are now more favorable for above-normal hurricane activity since El Nino has now ended. Two named storms have formed so far this year and the peak months of the hurricane season, August through October, are now underway."
Colorado State's Updated 2019 Hurricane Forecast
"We continue to predict a near-normal 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. The forecast number of hurricanes has increased slightly to account for short-lived Hurricane Barry which formed in July. Sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic remain near average. While the odds of a weak El Niño persisting through August-October have decreased, vertical wind shear in the Caribbean remains relatively high. The probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the United States coastline and in the Caribbean remains near its long-term average. As is the case with all hurricane seasons, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them. They should prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much activity is predicted.
(as of 5 August 2019)"
The above is an excerpt from the Forecast by Colorado State University.
AccuWeather's 2019 Atlantic hurricane season forecast
"After an active Atlantic hurricane season in 2018, AccuWeather forecasters are predicting 2019 to result in a near- to slightly above-normal season with 12 to 14 storms.
Of those storms, five to seven are forecast to become hurricanes and two to four are forecast to become major hurricanes."

Texas floods: Enough rain to cover entire state with 8 inches of water in May
(CNN) So much rain has fallen this May on flood-ravaged Texas that it could cover the entire state with 8 inches of water, meteorologists say.
And it ain't over yet.
Every drop of rain these days is a drop too many in much of Texas, where 22 people have died and President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster.
Super Typhoon Dolphin Becomes Earth's 5th Category 5 Storm of 2015

Hurricane Sandy (unofficially known as "Superstorm Sandy") was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, as well as the second-costliest hurricane in United States history. Classified as the eighteenth named storm, tenth hurricane and second major hurricane of the year, Sandy was a Category 3 storm at its peak intensity when it made landfall in Cuba.[1] While it was a Category 2 storm off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)).[2][3] Estimates as of March 2014 assess damage to have been over $68 billion (2013 USD), a total surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina.[4] At least 286 people were killed along the path of the storm in seven countries. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hurricane Irene, the storm slowly leveled-off in intensity as it struck the Bahamas and then curved northward after passing east of Grand Bahama. Continuing to weaken, Irene was downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane before making landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on August 27, becoming the first hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Ike in 2008. Early on the following day, the storm re-emerged into the Atlantic from southeastern Virginia. Although Irene remained a hurricane over land, it weakened to a tropical storm while making yet another landfall in the Little Egg Inlet in southeastern New Jersey on August 28. A few hours later, Irene made its ninth and final landfall in Brooklyn, New York City. Early on August 29, Irene transitioned into an extratropical cyclone hitting Vermont/New Hampshire after remaining inland as a tropical cyclone for less than 12 hours. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ike developed a large wind field as it moved northwestward across the Gulf of Mexico over the next 3 days, with tropical-storm-force winds extending up to 275 miles from the center and hurricane-force winds extending up to 115 miles from the center. The hurricane gradually intensified as it moved across the Gulf toward the Texas coast. Ike made landfall over the north end of Galveston Island in the early morning hours of September 13 as a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph. The hurricane weakened as it moved inland across eastern Texas and Arkansas and became extratropical over the middle Mississippi Valley on September 14. It then moved rapidly through the Ohio valley and into Canada, producing wind gusts to hurricane force along the way. Source: NOAA
Hurricane Katrina was the deadliest and most destructive Atlantic tropical cyclone of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It is the costliest natural disaster, as well as one of the five deadliest hurricanes, in the history of the United States. Katrina is the seventh most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded, part of the 2005 season that included three of the six most intense Atlantic hurricanes ever documented (along with #1 Wilma and #4 Rita). At least 1,833 people died in the hurricane and subsequent floods, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane; total property damage was estimated at $108 billion (2005 USD),[1] roughly four times the damage brought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2004 Atlantic hurricane season was the costliest Atlantic hurricane season, until the following year. More than half of the 16 tropical cyclones brushed or struck the United States. The season officially began on June 1, and ended on November 30. Due to a Modoki El Niño – a rare type of El Niño in which unfavorable conditions are produced over the eastern Pacific instead of the Atlantic basin due to warmer sea surface temperatures farther west along the equatorial Pacific – activity was above average. The first storm, Alex, developed offshore of the Southeastern United States on July 31. It brushed the Carolinas and the Mid-Atlantic, causing one death and $7.5 million (2004 USD) in damage.[nb 1] Several storms resulted in minor impact, including tropical storms Bonnie, Earl, Hermine, and Matthew. In addition, hurricanes Danielle, Karl, and Lisa, Tropical Depression Ten, Subtropical Storm Nicole and Tropical Storm Otto caused no impact on land while tropical cyclones. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hurricane Isabel was the costliest, deadliest, and strongest hurricane in the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season. The ninth named storm, fifth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the season, Isabel formed near the Cape Verde Islands from a tropical wave on September 6 in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. It moved northwestward, and within an environment of light wind shear and warm waters it steadily strengthened to reach peak winds of 165 mph (265 km/h) on September 11. After fluctuating in intensity for four days, Isabel gradually weakened and made landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h) on September 18. It quickly weakened over land and became extratropical over western Pennsylvania the next day. Source: Wikipedia Photo Credit: Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC

Agriculture must make more progress towards environmental sustainability
The environmental impacts of agriculture are still of major public concern, although in a number of countries detrimental effects have been reduced, according to a new report published by a major international governmental organisation.

According to Environmental Indicators for Agriculture – Volume Three: Methods and Results, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), policy reform is needed to phase out certain damaging forms of financial support for agriculture, replacing them with better targeted measures. Although specific devices were introduced in the 1980s in many OECD countries, which are helping to reduce some of the harmful impacts of agriculture, it is too early to know the extent and permanence of these improvements, says the report.
Positive improvements in agriculture include a decrease of over 10% in both nitrogen and pesticide use in many European countries and Japan, combined with associated improvements in water and air quality. Soil erosion has declined in Australia, Canada, and the United States, together with other initiatives such as a shift towards using nitrogen management plans, integrated pest management and soil conservation. Improvements in natural resource use efficiency, technology, and farm management practices have also offset environmental impacts, according to the OECD.
However, in some countries, the situation has deteriorated, particularly with regard to the intensification of farming in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and the United States, resulting in higher levels of nutrient surpluses, ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions. There is also growing competition for water resources between agricultural systems, other users, and ecosystems. A recent study found that olive production in southern Europe is causing desertification (see related story).
The OECD also points out that there is incomplete knowledge regarding some agri-environmental areas, such as the degree of groundwater pollution or depletion, and the human health and environmental risks associated with the use of pesticides.

Updated 2/28 at 9:55 a.m.: Based on information gathered at this time, preliminary autopsy results indicate that Jackie Scott Pendergrass died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
Updated 2/26 at 4:15 p.m.: Sgt. Steve Hinkle has died as a result of his injuries. At this time, the investigation remains active and ongoing.
At the request of 2nd District Attorney General Barry Staubus, TBI Special Agents are investigating the circumstances leading to an officer-involved shooting that occurred Saturday morning in Sullivan County.
Preliminary information indicates that the incident started early Saturday morning when Sullivan County deputies responded to 3606 Highway 11W after receiving a request to check the welfare of Jackie Scott Pendergrass (DOB 9/1/74). As deputies approached the residence, Pendergrass fired at least one shot. Deputies retreated and attempted to communicate with Pendergrass. A short time later, Pendergrass began firing at officers again. Deputies returned fire. At some point during the exchange, Deputy Steve Hinkle was struck by gunfire. He was transported to a local hospital where he is in serious condition. Pendergrass retreated and barricaded himself inside the home. Numerous attempts were made to communicate with the subject. After several hours, entry was made into the residence and Pendergrass was found deceased.
This remains an active and ongoing investigation, as TBI Special Agents and Forensic Scientists continue to work to gather any and all relevant interviews and evidence. As in any case, TBI's investigative findings will be shared with the District Attorney General throughout the process.

Painting - Construction of the Heptagon
View in Mirador
Three very similar paintings in the Crockett Johnson collection are closely related to the construction of a side of an inscribed regular a heptagon which he published in The Mathematical Gazette in 1975. The paper presents a way of producing an isosceles triangle with angles in the ratio 3:3:1, so that the smallest angle in the triangle is π/7. This angle is then inscribed in a large circle, and intercepts an arc length of π/7. A central angle of the same circle intercepts twice the angle, that is to say 2π/7, and the corresponding chord the side of an inscribed heptagon.
Crockett Johnson described the construction of his isosceles triangle in the diagram shown in the image. The horizontal line segment below the circle on the painting corresponds to unit length BF in the figure, and the triangle is ABF. The light colors of the painting highlight important points in the construction - marking off an arc of radius equal to the square root of 2 with center F, measuring the unit length AO along a marked straight edge that passes through B and ends at point A on the perpendicular bisector, and finding the side of the regular inscribed heptagon.
This version of the construction of a heptagon is #108 in the series. The oil painting on masonite with chrome frame was completed in 1975 and is unsigned. It is marked on the back: Construction of the Heptagon (/) Crockett Johnson 1975. See also paintings #115 (1979.1093.77) and #117 (1979.1093.79) in the series.

After Years of Turmoil, Newsday Prepares for Another Owner
RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA
As Cablevision gets ready to take over Newsday, the paper's readers and journalists are debating whether it means continued shrinkage, an infusion of new resources or something in between.
Not so long ago, Newsday belonged to the front rank of American journalism. It reached far beyond its original role as chronicler of Long Island, covered news worldwide, undertook big reporting projects and even had the audacity to take on the New York City market.
But since 1995, a series of owners and managers has chipped away at Newsday's news budget and its mission, turning it into something smaller, more local and, in many ways, less ambitious — a good regional newspaper.
Now, as readers and Newsday journalists (past and present) contemplate a takeover by Cablevision — the fourth distinct regime in 13 years — they are debating whether this change means continued shrinkage, an infusion of new resources or something in between.
They note that Newsday has had the freedom to offer critiques of itself and its corporate parents, and they wonder if that kind of independence will continue.
Cablevision, controlled by the Dolan family, has never run a newspaper and has had prickly relations with the news media — several reporters and editors tell tales of Cablevision executives going off the record just to tell them "no comment." Newsday journalists wonder aloud whether the Dolans' declining to be interviewed after the $650 million purchase was announced early this month should be seen as an ill omen.
"This is not a journalism company," said Howard Schneider, who retired as Newsday's top editor in 2004. "Do they understand the mission of a newspaper and what made this one great?"
The experience at Newsday has been replicated across the country. In the last two years, buyers with no newspaper experience have taken over The Minneapolis Star Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, and the Tribune Company, publisher of Newsday, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times and The Baltimore Sun, among many others.
In each case, they struggled financially, as the new owners found that the industry was far more troubled than they had expected, and harder to change than they had hoped.
"We're very aware of our inexperience with newspapers," Charles F. Dolan, the chairman of Cablevision, told shareholders last week. "We plan to consult widely and seek advice from people" who know the field.
Cablevision executives have said that the newspaper and the company's cable system can promote each other and sell ads together, increasing subscriptions and revenue. Whether that means halting the bleeding of newsroom resources — or even reversing it — remains to be seen.
The company declined to comment for this article, and many employees of the paper declined to comment on the record for fear of offending their new bosses.
Newsday is the sole major news outlet devoted primarily to Long Island, an affluent region of 2.8 million people.
"There's no question that Newsday dominates," said State Senator Dean G. Skelos, the Republican leader of the Long Island faction in New York's Legislature. "To get a story out, you need to get it in Newsday," and that has become harder with the newspaper's cutbacks, he said.
Senator Skelos is one of the many powerful people and ordinary readers who have been frustrated by the absence of an alternative voice in Long Island affairs. The frustration has been most acute for conservatives.
Unlike most papers, Newsday was born into newspaper royalty. Its founder, Alicia Patterson, was the daughter of Joseph Medill Patterson, founder of The Daily News in New York, who had also been a co-owner and publisher of The Chicago Tribune.
Ms. Patterson married Harry F. Guggenheim, an heir to the famed mining fortune, who put up $750,000 to start a newspaper — to keep his restless new wife busy, it was said. As editor in chief and publisher, she built Newsday, which began publishing in 1940, into the dominant voice of Long Island, a booming suburban region.
Ms. Patterson died in 1963, and seven years later, Mr. Guggenheim sold the paper to the Times Mirror Company of Los Angeles, controlled by the Chandler family.
For the next 16 years, David Laventhol was the driving force behind Newsday, first as the top editor and then as publisher. He hired more staff, inaugurated a Sunday paper, deepened the business report, and established overseas and domestic bureaus.
In the mid-1980s, the paper created New York Newsday, a distinct edition for New York City readers, going head to head with The Daily News, The New York Post and The New York Times. It never turned a profit. It is impossible to imagine any newspaper company taking such a gamble now, said Richard Galant, a former managing editor of Newsday who retired this year.
"Newsday was so successful in the 1980s that it literally would turn away advertising because there was a limit; the paper could only print 256 pages a day," he said. "It fueled the creation of New York Newsday, with the vision that Newsday would be expansionist, that no horizon was too broad."
Newsday became such a prolific breeder of journalistic talent — led by columnists like Murray Kempton, Jimmy Breslin, Gail Collins and Jim Dwyer — that other papers continually raided it.
If there was a peak in Newsday's life — in journalism and popularity, if not in profit — it arrived in the 1990s. Of the 19 Pulitzer Prizes the paper has won in its history, 8 were for work done from 1991 to 1996, including two for international reporting.
It was not obvious then, but the era that had made it possible was already coming to an end. Otis Chandler, the Times Mirror chairman who had invested heavily in Newsday, stepped down in the 1980s, and relatives who were less interested in journalism began to gain influence. In 1993, Newsday's circulation began to drop sharply, making it harder to justify more losses. Mr. Laventhol, who had become president of Times Mirror, retired at the end of that year.
A full break with the old regime arrived in 1995, when Mark H. Willes, a former executive of General Mills, became chief executive of Times Mirror. A few months later, Mr. Willes, dubbed "the cereal killer" in the company's newsrooms, put an end to New York Newsday.
What remained was a strong and highly profitable paper, with a news staff of more than 500 and daily circulation above 500,000, but this new Times Mirror era would last only a few years. In 2000, the company was bought by the Tribune Company of Chicago, which had a more frugal culture and set about making cuts at its new properties.
The 2001 recession and the industry's accelerating loss of readers and advertisers to the Internet led to more rounds of cuts. Then came the revelation that Newsday had been falsifying its circulation numbers, at least since 2000, by as much as 100,000 copies daily.
The scandal — which the paper covered aggressively in its pages — resulted in guilty pleas from several employees to criminal charges in 2006, refunds of millions of dollars to advertisers and the Tribune's realization that Newsday was neither as big nor as profitable as it had been led to believe.
"The arc of this paper was one of expanding ambitions all the way up to 1995, and shrinking ever since then," said Mr. Schneider, the former editor, now the dean of the school of journalism at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. "When the Tribune Company came, there was hope that the ambition could return, that they would invest and we could start a new chapter and do new things with TV and the Web. But their philosophy, the changing times, the circulation scandal — it all conspired against that."
Tribune eliminated Newsday's foreign bureaus and most of the jobs in its Washington bureau, among other cuts. The newsroom has a staff of more than 300 today, still among the biggest in a shrinking industry, and the paper's weekday circulation is about 380,000, 11th-highest in the country. Last year, it had an operating profit of more than $80 million on revenues of about $500 million.
"The paper has less reporting than it used to, and like a lot of people, I'm hopeful that will change because the Dolans are Long Islanders and they'll want to invest in it," said Thomas P. DiNapoli, the New York State comptroller and a lifelong Long Islander. "But no one knows."
