Ninth Circuit Sustains Lengthy Laptop Search
On April 5, 2011 By Michael Walker April 3, 2011
Here's a travel warning you won't get from the State Department: The Ninth Circuit last week held that police may seize digital devices at the border, transport them 170 miles to a forensics lab and search them during a two-day period, all without reasonable suspicion.
The decision marks the latest piecemeal expansion to the so-called [...]Continue Reading →

HENRY, Ill -- As Illinois' corn crop continues to deteriorate, 33 counties in Illinois have now been declared federal disaster areas due to the drought.
This spring farmers headed out to the fields with high hopes for a good growing season. "
We were set out to raise, what we thought was probably largest corn crop in the history of American agriculture. And yet now, we're in a challenge of looking in some cases at no crop in this state to a half a crop," said Philip Nelson, President of the Illinois Farm Bureau.
Monday Governor Pat Quinn met with farmers in southern Illinois to survey the damage and urge lawmakers to pass the federal farms bill to help farmers.
"We've got to be on the front line with all of our farmers across Illinois. This is their hour of need and we will not forget them," said Quinn.
Now farmers across the state are saying some fields are a total loss. Several areas have been given the OK to mow over crops, and others like Jerry Read in Henry are just waiting for approval.
Read said by now the corn should be about 10-12 inches long. But since the drought has taken its toll it is only a an inch to a couple inches. Read said there is nothing left mother nature can do to fix it.
"I want to knock it down so that the corn that's out here that's still green isn't pulling nutrients out of the soil. I want to shut that off," said Read.
Read's father and retired farmer Francis Read says this year is bad as he reflects on the droughts of 1988 and even 1936.
"The livestock suffered, the people suffered, but we got by, were tough," said Francis Read.
And farmers hope to tough it out again in another record-breaking drought.

Southeastern U.S. had hottest summer ever; fourth hottest nationwide
By John Nelander

South Floridians weren't the only ones sizzling in record summer heat . It was the warmest season ever in the southeastern U.S. – and the fourth hottest on record nationwide, according to a report by the National Climate Data Center.
The National Weather Service reported last week that Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade had the warmest summer (June through August) on record.
Florida as a whole experienced one of the warmest summers on the books, and August was the second hottest ever statewide, the NCDC said.
Absolute summer heat records were also set in Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama.
"Fourteen other states had an August temperature among their warmest ten percent," the NCDC report added. "No state experienced an average temperature significantly below its long term average."
Only three states reported near normal summer temperatures: California, Wyoming and South Dakota. Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington saw below normal summer temperatures.

TROPICS CHECK: The National Hurricane Center discontinued tracking on ex-Tropical Storm Gaston, which was giving Jamaica some blustery weather Thursday but apparently posed no further development threat.
Instead, forecasters began following a new system in the southeastern Caribbean, Invest 92L. They gave the storm a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression, or Tropical Storm Julia, by this weekend. Most computer models show 92L tracking toward the Yucatan.
In the far eastern Atlantic, Tropical Storm Igor was barely hanging on to tropical storm strength, but the NHC still predicts it will be a hurricane by Sunday. Right now, chances look good that Igor will turn north into the open Atlantic and not impact land.

Runs very big in siZe but the customer service reps were very helpful with exchanges. Love the ring!!
Anonymous, New Rochelle, NY – April 2014
Very pleased. I've never ordered jewelry online until this purchase. And the customer service was exceptional. Give a big bonus to the young woman (Angela?) who worked with me on the rushed return of the first purchase and overnight of the second purchase so that the wedding could take place in time. I had written her name somewhere and then lost it.
Anonymous, WASHINGTON, DC – December 2013
My husband absolutely loved his ring! It is a heavy ring (I think I read this in another review) but it just makes it more substantial. The fit is great and the overall look and feel is perfection.

Alright - now I'm stoked! Is the resort open to the public at this time? If someone wanted to drive up this weekend to check out the progress, is it possible to get "up-close?" Also, how is progress coming on the wetlands restoration? Meadows: We are equally as stoked! We're not encouraging visitation at this time - the construction may very well continue on the weekend. Between the lift construction and the wetlands restoration the base area is pretty much a construction zone. If you do come up please be very aware of what's going on, and understand if the construction crew or security asks for some space. The restoration is proceeding nicely - removing the fill dirt from the Yellow meadows and Blue chairlifts. It will take several years before the areas convert back to wetlands, but it's a great first step!
Wow! That's pretty cool. Ummmm....the bottom of the lift is like inside the lodge! How are you thinking of managing the traffic around the lodge and the lift lines this year?CMeadows: Great question! The Stadium Express will load the same way Vista loads - you board on the downhill side, the chair travels slowly around the horseshoe track, and then once on the uphill side accelerates to high speed. So the cuing for the lift will line up towards Stadium, not the lodge. That way we have the benefit of close-in convenience with the best use of space for loading.
Hi Dave. Can you describe the logistics in getting all these chair lift pieces up to Meadows? Where was the chair manufactured and trucked from? Looks like quite a projectMeadows: The chair was fabricated and partially assembled at the Leitner-Poma plant in Grand Junction, Colorado. Once they assemble it there, (to make sure it really fits) they disassemble and ship the different components by truck. The towers and terminal footings arrived together. The upper terminal housing, bullwheel arrived about a month ago. The lower terminal components arrived last week. You can see in the video that the motor and bullwheel was preassembled on one platform, which was dropped into the bottom terminal. It's not quite "plug and play" but the assembly work performed in Grand Junction makes for a more efficient installation here.
Interesting that you went with a non-height adjustable base station. So was it more cost effective or not really needed? Or both? Is chair swing near the top of the ridge going to be a major concern? Always seemed like the wind near the top of yellow was pretty wild during storms.Meadows: There is a significant expense to have the height adjustable base station. There's enough room to push snow from around the base of the lift when necessary. The quad chairs are more massive and so should be less susceptible to chair sway than the lighter fixed grip quads. Thanks for the questions!
Roughly how much did it cost to put up this new lift?Meadows: We don't disclose specific financial information. But it is a considerable investment, which we believe will significantly improve the overall guest experience at Meadows.
I LOVE MEADOWS!!!!!! Im so happy about the new lift! Thank you so much!!!Meadows: You are welcome. Can't wait for the season to begin.
Great job!keep the footage rolling :-).Meadows: Next up - the snowcats are arrving!
Any news on the forecast for this winter?Meadows: A La Nina is forecast - which normally brings a wetter, colder winter to the northwest. Stoked!
Stadium Express!! Can you at least change the website chairlift list......pretty close to official if you ask me. When is the anticipated load test? More massive is mo' bettaEver consider moving Yellow..?? I got a new name for it - THE Marmot Double. Bottom at the Mazot, Top at the entry to Marmot ridge. Saaaaaaaweat!! Elevator to Middle Heather.......Have you done any slope improvements....tree thinning (please say yes), lights, reliability...etc...is the Master Plan available anywhere?Can't wait for the snow to fall - gettn hard to compete with the other 2 slope alternative...tough choices...Hope to visit soon - again great job on STX - Stadium Express.........you knew it was just a matter of time.La Nina is gettn me stoked!!Meadows: We're stoked as well. We'll update the trail map on the website shortly. Interesting concept for your lift location - we will most likely be repurposing the Stadium Express - that is selling it to another ski area to use. We have our normal summer trail maintenance. No new lights but we have plans in the future. Much of the maintenance we perform each season is directed at reliability, as well as the acquisition of new equipment. Each day we are getting closer to the opening!
When will we get to see the updated ski map with Stadium Express? I've been really eager to see it! When will you post the next video about Stadium Express's construction? I've been hoping you'd upload another one. By the way, how are the racers going to get from the top of Stadium Express to the Stadium run when Stadium Express's top terminal is now relocated so that it is way farther away from the Stadium run than the old lift?Meadows: Our trail map has been sent to the printers and we're working on a poster as well. We'll update the imagery on our web site soon. We'll probably have another Stadium Express update towards the end of this month when we load test. Meanwhile, check out our Facebook page to win a ride on first chair on opening day. Racers should be able to skate with ease to the top of Stadium from the top of the new lift. We'll be moving snow and grooming to assist with the transition. Thanks for the post!
Can't watch the video with Apple Safari 5.1 - what gives?Meadows: Not sure. I'm watching it on Safari 5.0.6 and it plays fine. Here's the link off of YouTube: http://youtu.be/UfJkcWDLtEk
Stoked! Can't wait to ride the new lift. Keep sending updates-I love reading about your progress. Great job on the wetlands restoration, too! :)Meadows: Thanks - we'll have some updates on our new "Experience Center" the rental equipment center "innovation" shortly!

Value-Added Producer Grants Support Local Producers, Biobased Initiatives
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2013 Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced the selection of 110 grants to agricultural producers and rural businesses that will help create jobs and develop new products. Nebraska received three grants totaling $367,000. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today's announcement is one part of the Department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy.
In Nebraska, Burbach Countryside Dairy, Inc. of Hartington will receive a $300,000 grant to support the marketing of its locally produced fluid dairy products. Gregory Nollette of Nenzel will use a $49,900 grant for marketing and operating costs for processing sandhills grapes into wine and selling to local markets. This will allow the business to increase its sales by up to 10 percent annually due to the added value of its product. Midwest Aronia Association Steering Committee with aronia berry growers throughout the Midwest received a $16,661 grant to determine the marketing plan and feasibility of aronia berry products such as aronia juice, puree and dried sweetened aronia berries.
"This support will benefit rural businesses and the communities where the recipients are located," Vilsack said. "These awards also will advance USDA's goals to develop a bio-based economy and support local and regional food systems."
In today's announcement, 110 awardees are being selected for USDA Rural Development Value-Added Producer Grants (VAPG). The grants help agricultural producers increase their income by expanding marketing opportunities, creating new products or developing new uses for existing products.
USDA Rural Development is funding an array of projects involving locally produced and marketed foods. These include cheese, wine, reduced-cholesterol dairy products, produce, packaged poultry, pork and beef products, and a variety of processed or prepared foods from locally grown fruits and vegetables.
The awards announced today include 11 projects involving bio-based products. They include grants to convert: corn stover to anhydrous ammonia; miscanthus fiber, wood and goat manure into biochar and enhanced compost; and sorghum to electricity and fertilizer.
Since the start of the Obama Administration, the VAPG program has helped more than 600 agricultural producers and rural businesses.
Through 2008, Congress made several enhancements to the VAPG program. It expanded the definition of value-added to include locally-produced agricultural food products, and it gave priority to projects that focus on increasing opportunities for small and mid-size family farmers and ranchers, beginning farmers and ranchers, and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.
For a complete list of Value-Added Producer Grant award recipients selected today, click here. Funding for each project is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the grant agreement.

Embarkation: We flew into Miami the day before and spent the night at the Intercontinental Miami, a hotel that I would highly recommend. We spent some time Saturday shopping at Bayside Marketplace and had dinner there as well. We checked out Sunday morning and arrived at the port about 11:00. The embarkation process was relatively painless (a big improvement on last year) and we were on board eating lunch by noon.
Ship Condition: My husband and I thought the Elation was a beautiful ship. Although I know some people have complained about the ship's dEcor, I thought that the ship with all its dark woods, brass, and stained glass, was elegantly decorated. I preferred it to the more garish dEcor of the Victory. I also preferred this size of ship. I found that I knew my way around very quickly. The ship definitely felt less crowded than the Victory. We never encountered any long lines anywhere, and there was never a problem getting a chair on deck, even mid-afternoon. I also felt that there were fewer kids on board, and I felt that the class of passenger was a bit higher than what we have encountered on previous Carnival cruises. For example, everyone took the dress code in the dining room seriously; no shorts or jeans were seen all week.
Staff: As usual, everyone on board was very friendly and accommodating. We called the purser's desk one evening because our air conditioning didn't seem to be functioning well, and someone was sent down to look at it immediately. Our room steward, Pablo, was excellent. He called us by name, kept our stateroom spotless, and always left the usual towel animals. Our dining room wait staff, Kitti and Olga, were both pleasant and efficient. The staff at the Lido deck eateries were accommodating as well. Several times I saw passengers request that the meat on the carving station be cooked well-done; their requests were immediately met.
Food: I think this would be the only area that could use improvement. We thought the breakfast selection on the Lido deck got a bit boring after a few days - your typical bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns - although they did alternate between French toast and pancakes. The selection in the dining room wasn't much better. We enjoyed lunch on the Lido deck: the cheeseburgers and fries from the grill were delicious, the main lunch buffet was always tasty, and I also enjoyed the Taste of Nations buffet, except for the Mexican. The pizza and deli were good as well. The dining room food varied. The prime rib, filet, beef Wellington, and Chateaubriand were delicious and always cooked perfectly. The chicken and mushroom fettuccine was so rich and creamy. I enjoyed all the desserts- especially the bitter chocolate melting cake...to die for!! Many nights we ordered two appetizers or entrees or desserts and it was never a problem. Other than that, we actually preferred the food on the Lido Deck buffet - it often was fresher and tastier.
Ports of Call: Half Moon Cay was the first port of call and my favorite. It had the finest, softest white sand and the clearest water. I think it spoiled me for all other beaches. It was amazing. We rented a clamshell for $15, had a few drinks, enjoyed the barbeque lunch, and relaxed all day. In St. Thomas, we booked the tour with Godfrey. He picked us up at 9 am and dropped us off downtown where we shopped until noon. Then we went on a two hour tour of the island. He took us to a couple of lookouts with breathtaking views of the harbour and Magen's Bay. We went to the mountaintop where we enjoyed the banana daiquiris - good but not cheap!! (One note: you need to clear immigration in St. Thomas, which is a pain and takes a while - go early!!) San Juan was my husband-s favorite port of call. We took a cab out to El Morro first and explored the fort on our own. Then we spent the rest of the day shopping in Old San Juan, which is very picturesque and charming. We had a great lunch at a little place called Café El Punto - very popular with the locals. At the last stop, Grand Turk, we booked the dune buggy tour through the ship - not something I usually do as I prefer to book independently. The tour was pricey at $200.00 and a little disappointing. It was a cool way to see the island, but Grand Turk is largely undeveloped and there really isn't much to see. There was also very little off-roading; for 90% of the time we simply drove along the paved road. The island itself is pretty flat and more barren than St. Thomas or Jamaica, but the water is gorgeous and the views from the lighthouse and around the island were spectacular.
Disembarkation: We used the self-disembarkation process which was relatively quick but not painless - trying to lug all that luggage down escalators is not easy. But we still prefer this method of disembarkation to waiting to be called.
In summary, we really enjoyed this cruise. We find Carnival to be excellent value for the money and I'm sure this will not be our last Carnival cruise!!!

Manti Te'o has spoken.
But will Friday night's ESPN interview be enough to quell the firestorm of criticism that has erupted in the wake of Wednesday's revelations that his dead girlfriend — a story that was a big part of not only his narrative, but that of the entire Notre Dame football team as it rolled through the 2012 regular season a perfect 12-0 — was a hoax?
Time will tell.
Public relation types will often tell you that when a story like this breaks, you either control it quickly, or it comes to control you. That was in danger of happening here, as every day Te'o remained silent was another day for doubts to form.
Friday night's interview with ESPN, for some, will create more questions, simply by the way it was conducted: Off-camera, with only still photos permitted.
In fact, sports talk radio chatter Friday night/early Saturday morning was already picking up those questions and running with them — the main gripe being that with no video, it was impossible to evaluate Te'o's body language during the interview.
When, in your attempt to answer questions, you end up creating more questions, that's not a good thing.
The wait for a breathlessly announced special SportsCenter report on the interview was even longer than expected, as an NBA game leading into the report went into overtime.
But when the report finally aired, it was good to see that Te'o had spoken out.
Some are having trouble buying Te'o's characterization of his relationship as one that existed online and on the phone only. It's a foreign concept to many, to be sure.
But it's one that younger people should be able to relate to.
Over the years, most of my relationships started out online. They eventually moved to telephone communication and some to an in-person meeting.
So I can certainly relate to Te'o's assertions about how he conducted his relationship.
And I can also relate to him finding out that the person he thought he was getting to know was not who she appeared to be.
Sometimes, we see what we want to see, long past the time when we should see things for what they are.
That, I think, is what happened with Te'o.
He found himself embroiled in something that, at the end of the day, was not going to look good.
Did he handle it appropriately?
Probably not. However, as Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly is constantly reminding those of us who cover the team, these are 18-to-22-year-old kids.
Mistakes were made, to be sure. But those mistakes can be turned into a learning moment. And that's what Te'o can and probably will do.
Te'o has a future awaiting him in the NFL. But before that happens, he will have to face more questions from potential NFL suitors about this issue, and how he handled it.
With the NFL's newfound focus on character, the questions Te'o faces will be tough and pointed, but fair.
How he handles them will determine his future. Putting this issue behind him will be a good first step toward that future.

Summary Details
Young People's Varieties

Regarding query: http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-679.html#1
Some time ago I sent a query to the list about the existence of so-called
''young people's varieties'' - that is, cases of rapid language change
among fluent speakers of particular languages. The phenomenon is
particularly associated with the last generation of speakers of certain
Australian Indigenous languages. I received responses from the following
people, plus two others who asked not to be included here.
Many thanks to everyone who emailed me.
Susan Burt: immigrant Hmong (in Wisconsin)
Susan referred me to two papers of hers involving language shift:
"How to Get Rid of Unwanted Suitors: Advice from Hmong-American Women of
Two Generations." Journal of Politeness Research, vol 1, no. 2, pp.
219-236, 2005.
"Growing Up Shifting: Immigrant Children, Their Families and the Schools"
(with Hua Yang) in Kristin Denham and Anne Lobeck (eds). Language in the
School Curriculum, Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum. Pp. 29-39. 2005.
[I suspect that some of these young people's varieties are 'shifted'
varieties, but it's not clear to me that all are. CB]
Brian Ó Curnáin: Irish
I think Schmidt's 'Young people's Dyirbal' is a great work. Very similar
phenomena are found in Irish. Traditional acquisition is very different to
modern acquisition, lowest common denominator effects, bilingualism,
code-switching, massive reduction in native vocab, etc.,
I have a forth-coming monograph which deals with some of these issues 'The
Irish of Iorras Aithneach' 2006.
Peter Daniels suggested this is a characteristic of language death (as
suggested by Nancy Dorian).
[My impression from reading Nancy Dorian's work is that she was as much
concerned with intra-generation variation as with variation between
age-groups. Indeed, she was able to rule out age as a factor for the
variety of Scots Gaelic she worked on. There's quite extensive variation in
the last generation of some Australian languages but this is not exactly
what I'm thinking of here.]
Gil`ad Zuckermann: Israeli
The case of Israeli is interesting since there are obviously AETALECTS,
inter alia due to Americanization and inter alia due to the extensive
prescriptive and puristic attempts, which were partially successful with
the older generations.
Richard Hudson pointed me in the direction of his discussion of 'age
grading' in his sociolinguistics text (CUP, 2nd Ed. 1996, p 14-15) and
Peter Unseth mentioned
Lithgow, David. 1973. ''Language change on Woodlark Island.'' Oceania 44: 101-8
Thus in summary, it's fairly clear that severe age-related differences are
found around the world, and that it is not necessarily associated with
language death, although it certainly can be. It's also clear that the more
extreme examples are all in situations of intense language contact
(although we expected that).

— Maple School being offered in Brushton
BRUSHTON — Seasoned maple-syrup producers, less-experienced sugar makers or anyone interested in learning the ins and outs of making maple syrup are all invited to the First Annual Franklin County Maple (Producers) Association (FCMA) Maple School.
It will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Feb. 2 at the Brushton Moira Central School. The cost is $20 in advance and $30 at the door. Information and registration information is available at www.bmcsd.org. Click on the FFA tab at the top of the page. Or, call 483-7403.
Scheduled classes include Maple Tubing for Beginners, Sugarbush Thinning for Improved Growth and Productivity, Ensuring Sugarbush Regeneration, Filtering and Canning, Making Maple Cream and Candies, 20C and Home Licenses Needed for Maple and Marketing, Ag District Property Tax Assessments, Stainless Steel Welding and much more.
Presenters include specialists from Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension, Soil and Water Conservation District professionals, maple-syrup producers and industry consultants.
A trade show will showcase equipment and supplies from several dealers, maple producers will offer products for sale and representatives from Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District, the New York Forest Owners Association and the Wild Center will oversee tables with handouts and be available to answer questions and speak with attendees throughout the day. Artisans and craftspeople will also be on hand displaying their skills and their handiwork.
Vendor table space is $10 for those who bring their own table or $20 for those who would like the FFA to provide a table for them. Lunch is extra.
A maple-sugaring equipment auction, which will also feature other items of interest, will get underway at 4 p.m. There is no charge to attend the auction. The fee for selling equipment at the auction is 10 percent of the sale price, charged to the seller. Other terms and conditions apply.
Maple producers needed for research project
LAKE PLACID — The Northern New York Agricultural Development Program (NNYADP) 2013 Maple Research Project is in search of maple producers for research on improving sap yields and maple business profitability.
NNYADP-funded maple research supports the opportunity for Northern New York to double its maple income to more than $10 million, based on a survey by Cornell University Northern New York Maple Specialist Michael Farrell.
Farrell, director of Cornell's Uihlein Maple Forest in Lake Placid, says research data from maple tap spout-and-dropline combination trials at the Uihlein forest since 2010, and from similar evaluations conducted at Parker Family Maple Farm in West Chazy in 2011 and 2012, have shown promising results for improving yields by as much as 100 percent in some cases.
A dropline is the length of tubing that runs from a spout on the tap into the tree to the lateral line that collects sap.
Researchers are looking for obtain more data to identify which spout-dropline combinations have the best potential for consistent gain in sap volume under the varying maple season conditions in Northern New York. More sap equates to more syrup and increased profitability for sugarmakers.
Farrell is seeking Northern New York maple producers who are themselves testing spout-dropline combinations in their own sugarbushes and have enough land that two trial units with similar trees, aspect, elevation, etc. can be established. Participating producers will record data on volume and sugar content as well as the time and money invested in the maple equipment and installations associated with the research.
NNYADP grant funding is available to cover the cost of installing water meters to measure sap volume and refractometers to measure sap sugar content in the participating sugarbushes. This research will produce calculations comparing costs vs. the amount of sap collected with the various spout-dropline combinations. A cost/benefit ratio will be determined using the current price of maple syrup to help producers evaluate the best strategies for making their sugaring operations more productive and profitable.
Farrell laid the groundwork for this new NNYADP-funded research by working with Parker Family Maple Farm in 2011.
"We tried eight different combinations of spouts and droplines at Parker Family Maple Farm. The total amount of sap flow was measured every time a load of sap was collected and transferred to the sugarhouse. The results in the first year indicated the opportunity for sap gain," Farrell said.
The work at Parker Family Maple Farm continued in 2012 and Farrell developed a protocol for determining the best spout-dropline combinations in other sugarbushes that will be applied at the sugaring operations that participate in the 2013 research trials.
Producers interested in participating may contact Farrell at 523-9337, email@example.com, by Feb. 1.

Delone Carter led the Indianapolis Cots in rushing today, working in relief of the injured Joseph Addai. Carter finished the game with just 45 yards on 14 carries. Donald Brown had five carries for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Carter had not been much of a fantasy option entering Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Joseph Addai's injury provided extra opportunities for him. With the Colts in poor condition, the rushing game has suffered the effects. Carter entered the game with 125 yards and one touchdown on 41 carries. He did have a career high 12 carries against the Chiefs, but he managed just 22 yards.
Carter barely made Yahoo!'s top 30 running backs this week, coming in at No. 27. However, his partner, Donald Brown, barely made the list at No. 39.

Life Lessons: Breast cancer-causing culprits
Researchers have become more like C.S.I. detectives trying to identify new causes for breast cancer.
Suspect number one is tainted mascara.
It contains a metal that fuels breast cancer. Instead go for natural mascara, as it offers the same beautifying effects as regular mascara, minus the poison.
Suspect number two is air fresheners.
Most contain phthalates, this chemical helps strengthen the most hard to treat types of breast cancer. Instead use vodka. It has some of the same components as air fresheners without the toxins.
Number three is toilet deodorizers.
Most have a solvent which has been linked to early puberty in girls, which is a huge breast cancer risk. To clean your toilet use distilled white vinegar instead.
Going natural is an easy way to avoid some of these risks.
Some other switches are using lavender instead of mothballs, fresh or frozen foods over canned, and hemp or cotton instead of vinyl.

What is assessment?
Adrian Tennant takes a look at what is meant by assessment. Many people assume that assessment is simply another word for testing but this article outlines its role as an important aspect of teaching and learning.
Diagnostic tests
Adrian Tennant considers 'diagnostic tests', sometimes referred to as 'level tests' or 'placement tests', comparing them to other forms of assessment as well as giving some practical suggestions.
Preparing students
Adrian Tennant looks at how most exams test a student's ability to do tests, and gives some practical tips aimed at helping you prepare your students.
Assessing young learners
Adrian Tennant looks at how young learners feel about assessment; marks, grades and comments; ongoing assessment; self-assessment and the general benefits of assessment for this age group.
Assessing tasks and lessons
Adrian Tennant looks at ways in which teachers can assess lessons in order to judge the success of both their classroom delivery and students' learning.
Assessing skills
Adrian Tennant looks at how teachers test the four skills or reading, writing, listening and speaking and the fairness of assessment techniques. He also explores the various methods employed by teachers and potential improvements for skills assessments.
Student portfolios, as a form of assessment, are becoming more popular. But what exactly are they? Adrian Tennant explains how portfolios can be organized and maintained, how they can help with assessment, and outlines some of the advantages and disadvantages of using them for assessment.
CEFR 'Can do' statements
Adrian Tennant takes a look at self-assessment and, in particular, 'Can do' statements: a current buzzword and term now employed by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A firefighter and elderly woman are recovering Tuesday after a fire at a Sylvania Township home Monday night.
The fire started around 7:30 p.m. in the 5000 Homerdale Avenue and quickly spread over the large house.
"I saw flames shooting out of the front window becoming more and more enraged as time went on. Then the smoke began, and the smoke at times billowed so hard, that it obscured the house itself. And it was frightening," said neighbor Janice Dempster.
The homeowner, who is in her 70s, was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. A firefighter who slipped on ice and hurt his back was also taken to the hospital for treatment. He was released early Tuesday morning.
There is still no word on how the fire started, but the home is a complete loss and will have to be demolished.

Sports & Bacon: Baseball and sleet?
Thu. March 06, 2014 at 10:02 p.m. | By Joey Millwood
I watch a lot of television.
And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. I wrote a 24-page paper on "The Sopranos" to graduate college.
In other words, I'm a serious about being a serious television fanatic.
In fact, I have a rather large DVD collection of movies and television series. Often, I watch the same shows from start to finish. I have a few shows that I do that with every year.
This past Christmas, I finally finished up my "Lost" collection. I was a huge fan of the show when it was on the air. It was a show about an airplane that crashed on a mysterious island. The survivors of the "Oceanic flight 815" crash evolved into an amazing story.
My wife and I hung on every episode until it finally went off the air. The island was full of mysteries. It was the ultimate debate between being a "man of faith" versus being a "man of science."
It was filled with excellent characters and a plot that would give you whiplash. It was on the air for six glorious seasons. I've spent the last month reliving every amazing moment. It's so much more fun when you can watch episodes back-to-back and details are fresh in your mind.
That's definitely advantageous with a show that is filled with mysteries like "Lost."
One of the craziest early mysteries in the show was in season one when a polar bear came charging out of the jungle at a couple of the characters. No one could understand what a polar bear would be doing on a mysterious island in the hot South Pacific.
That's about what I felt like on Thursday afternoon while covering the Hendersonville-North Henderson baseball game.
You see, I live in South Carolina just across the state line. I spent most of my preps writing career covering games in Spartanburg County.
And while it's always cold at the start of the season, I've never once sat in sleet or snow and covered a baseball game. In South Carolina, of course, everything is canceled at the first hint of bad weather.
As the fourth inning rolled around on Thursday afternoon, however, I got my first experience with a baseball game and sleet. Hendersonville pitcher Sam Linn was in the on deck circle, glanced over at me and asked if it was raining. I wasn't sure because I had a gazillion layers on and my teeth were chattering too loud for me to hear anything.
Sure enough, when I stuck my hand out, some rain landed on it. That didn't last long though. Just moments later after Linn had hit a double, it turned to ice and there was no ignoring it then. It was bouncing off my jacket.
As the game progressed, it got harder and harder.
It was a pretty good introduction to spring games in Western North Carolina, I must say. Despite the oddity of the combination of sleet and baseball, I really enjoyed the game. The most impressive part of the game, however, was that the players just trucked along and didn't really acknowledge it at all.
To them, it was just normal.
To me, it was like a polar bear running out of the jungle on a crazy television show.

Beware the hugger muggers on Brighton and Hove nights out
4:20am Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News By Ben James
Brighton revellers are being warned to be on their guard following a spate of thefts by "hugger muggers" who cuddle their victims before rifling through their pockets.
A man was charged and three others were arrested last weekend following a series of incidents in Brighton and Hove.
The first took place in the early hours of Saturday morning (January 18).
At 1.15am a 17-year old boy was walking along North Street when he was approached by a man and woman, both described as being of Eastern European appearance.
The woman took his mobile phone and when he tried to get it back the man punched and kicked him to the ground.
Around an hour later, two men approached a 19-year old man in Kings Road.
They started a conversation and hugged him before talking his mobile phone. A third suspect then kicked the victim's legs, and all three ran off.
The third incident saw two men start a conversation with a man in Pavilion Gardens after he asked them for a light.
They hugged him and took his mobile phone after holding a sharp object to his head.
At 3am two men approached a man waiting at a bus stop near Pavilion Gardens and after talking to him they snatched his mobile phone. There was a scuffle before the two suspects ran off.
A police spokesman warned people on nights out to be particularly careful.
He added: "We are reminding people to be aware of being approached in the early hours of the morning, normally around pubs and clubs, by suspects who at first pretend to be friendly and sometimes hug them.
"The victim is caught off guard and the suspects then steal the victim's phone or wallet/purse from their pockets.
"This is carried out by one suspect hugging them, or by another suspect waiting nearby.
"In October last year five suspects were arrested, two of whom were charged with theft from people."
Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call police on 101 quoting serial 0077 of 18/1.
- Ahmed Boudabbous, 18, of Cobham Street, Gravesend, has been charged with robbery on January 18. A 20-year old man from Gravesend, arrested on suspicion of robbery, was subsequently released on police bail until February 9 while a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year old girl, both from Gravesend, were arrested on suspicion of robbery and released on police bail until February 8.

Roy Asotasi and Anthony England to make home debuts for Warrington Wolves against new-look Salford Red Devils
Updated 6:48am Monday 3rd February 2014 in Wolves news By Mike Parsons, Sports Editor
NEW prop signings Roy Asotasi and Anthony England will make their home debuts in Warrington Wolves' final pre-season friendly against Salford Red Devils.
Wolves' head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith confirmed the pair's selection after their first appearances in primrose and blue in Sunday's 34-20 victory at Leigh Centurions, a friendly that arrived five days after the squad's return from pre-season training in Australia.
Smith looks set to name his strongest available squad against a Salford Red Devils side that is expected to feature Adrian Morley as skipper on his return to The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Wednesday, kick off 8pm.
Stefan Ratchford, Micky Higham, Ben Currie and Glenn Riley are also expected to back-up from Sunday's game, while those who are fit but did not figure at the weekend will be given a chance to prove their case for a starting spot against St Helens in the opening Super League game on February 13.
That means appearances by Joel Monaghan, Chris Bridge, Ryan Atkins, Chris Riley, Richie Myler, Chris Hill, Michael Monaghan, Ben Westwood, Trent Waterhouse and Simon Grix, while Gareth O'Brien is another likely to back-up from Sunday.
Both Warrington and Salford have defeated Leigh over the past two weekends and Wednesday's encounter will also give some early insight into the potential of Brian Noble's new-look squad courtesy of owner Marwen Koukash splashing the cash.
The Red Devils have made 14 new signings, at the last count, with Morley among them after ending seven seasons with Wolves to have a final hurrah with his hometown club.
Salford's highest profile captures have been half backs Rangi Chase and Tim Smith.
Salford's new recruits are: Rangi Chase (Castleford Tigers), Harrison Hansen (Wigan Warriors), Gareth Hock (Wigan Warriors), Greg Johnson (Batley Bulldogs), Tommy Lee (London Broncos), Francis Meli (St Helens), Adrian Morley (Warrington Wolves), Jake Mullaney (Parramatta Eels), Tony Puletua (St Helens), Steve Rapira (New Zealand Warriors), Junior Sa'u (Melbourne Storm), Tim Smith (Wakefield Trinity Wildcats), Lama Tasi (Brisbane Broncos), Paul Walton (Batley Bulldogs).
