DON'T DOUBLE DIP IN DRIVERS' POCKETS TO PAY FOR ROADS By The Hill Jim Burg and David Congdon Infrastructure investment is a rare Beltway issue where both sides can find common ground. America's roads, bridges, pipes and ports need sustainable funding to support a modern economy. And while we agree with Secretary LaHood and Governor Rendell's call-to-action we vehemently disagree with their policy prescription. The call for "eliminating federal restrictions on tolling interstate highways," is deeply misguided. Nationwide tolling, which would impose an additional tax on the 70 percent of goods moved by trucks, would be a disaster for the economy. The American Trucking Associations recognizes that new revenue sources must be found to address the backlog of road and bridge projects. That's why we've signed on as the co-chairmen of the newly formed Infrastructure Funding Task Force which is committed to exploring many options to find a long-term financing solution that will address our nation's transportation needs. There is no single cure-all for transportation funding, but tolling existing interstates may create problems worse than the disease it seeks to treat. America's interstates were built using tax revenue, and fuel taxes have paid to maintain them since. Any new toll is double taxation. Since the inception of the Federal Interstate Highway System, the federal gas tax has always been the primary source of revenue for the construction and maintenance of federal interstate lanes. Every time a motorist puts gas in his vehicle, he is paying his or her share for interstate maintenance. A new toll on an existing interstate forces a motorist to pay two taxes for that same road: a gas tax and a toll tax. Costs will go up throughout the entire supply chain, as logistics companies and retailers are forced to pass the higher cost of doing business onto customers. Furthermore, tolls will force truck drivers and motorists to use secondary roads to avoid

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa: Assessment of Risk from Drinking Water Pseudomonas Aeruginosa: Assessment of Risk from Drinking Water The Issue Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium that is naturally found in many types of drinking water. For example, it is a violation of European regulations to have Pseudomonas aeruginosa present in a 250 ml sample of bottled water. However, no such regulation exists in the United States. Apparently, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulation in Europe originated as a quality control issue and not as a health effects issue. During the last decade, a number of papers have appeared that have indicated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa from drinking water is a health threat. However, it is not considered a health threat by those in the clinical microbiology or infectious diseases communities. Therefore, an assessment of health risk to humans from Pseudomonas aeruginosa from drinking water was conducted. Research Strategy A practicing infectious disease physician (Dr. Catherine Hardalo, Yale University) and a medical microbiologist (Dr. Stephen Edberg, Yale University) collaborated to perform the health risk analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from drinking water. An extensive literature search was conducted and colleagues were consulted. Major Findings and Significance Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous environmental bacterium. It can be recovered, often in high numbers, in common food, especially vegetables. Moreover, it can be recovered in low numbers in drinking water. A small percentage of clones of Pseudomonas aeruginosa possess the required number of virulence factors to cause infection. However, Pseudomonas aeruginosa will not proliferate on normal tissue but requires previously damaged organs. Further narrowing the risk to human health is that only certain specific hosts are at risk, including patients with profound neutropenia, cystic fibrosis, severe burns, and those subject to foreign device installation. Other than these very well de

Once upon a time all tents were well - not to put too fine a point on it - tent shaped. They had a pole at each end and sometimes a cross pole called a ridge holding up a tent-shaped roof: Hence the name 'ridge tent'. Ridge tents are remarkably stable and range from tiny one-person tents right up to large marquees. They are easy to pitch and still make excellent shelters today. Their main disadvantage is in head height - even in the largest units there's limited height in most of the tent. This doesn't matter when you're using the tent purely for sleeping, but makes it less than ideal for a family holiday in the rain if you can't walk around inside.
