Student loans: the wrong cuts.
The story gets even worse. As tuition explodes, federal and state education money is drying up and students are bearing a larger and larger share of the tuition burden. Reflecting the need for more aid, the federal student loan guarantee program saw loans grow 57 percent between 1992 and 1994. And these loans leave students with huge debts. Paying back $50,000 at 8 percent over 10 years, for example, would mean a monthly payment of $644. This makes it impossible for many graduates to go into low-paying lines of work like teaching, and it also discourages many from seeking a college education in the first place.
Meanwhile, a host of financial institutions have been making a mint off struggling students. Until recently, the federal government did not actually loan money to students directly; rather, it guaranteed private loans. The system proved expensive and wasteful. Private lenders made huge sums of money while doing little work and taking no risk. And service to students was decidedly not a priority.
In 1993, President Clinton decided to do something about it. Under his plan, which passed in Congress that summer, the government went beyond merely guaranteeing bank loans. Students were given the option of borrowing money directly from the Treasury. "Direct lending," as this program is called, quickly became wildly popular among students and schools, in part because the government streamlined the process to reduce paperwork. It has also saved taxpayer dollars by cutting out the middlemen.
The crucial element of direct lending, though, is the option of what's called income-contingent loans, which lets students pay off their debt as a percentage of their income, rather than set, monthly sums. Tying debt repayment to income was Clinton's original goal in reforming the student loan program: He wanted to encourage college graduates to take low-paying jobs in public service.
The benefits of direct lending, then, are connected both to government reform and to the broad social good. As a reform, it has injected competition into a student loan system once monopolized by lethargic private lenders. The social good is that by allowing flexibility for students repaying their debt--something that banks were unwilling to do--the government encourages post-graduate jobs in Teach for America and the Peace Corps, as opposed to just Wall Street and Madison Avenue. For these reasons, student loan reform is an all too rare success story in the federal government's recent history. "It's the best thing since microwaveable brownies," Colorado State University student Anthony Gallegos raved in U. S. News & World Report.
Sound like a good candidate for a round of bipartisan back-slapping? It would seem so, but despite direct lending's clear successes, Republicans in Congress are moving to limit sharply--or eliminate entirely--the program, which would also spell the end of pay-as-you-can loans. The financial institutions who were once making out like bandits have been lobbying hard to get back the business they've lost. And the GOP is inclined to give it to them, even though it's a bad deal for everyone else. Instead of doing more to fix the student loan program, Republicans seem intent on breaking it again.
Federal Loan Follies
Since 1966, the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) has helped more than 40 million Americans through college. But the program carrying out this admirable mission also developed a reputation as one of the federal government's most inefficient. The program cost billions to run--most of which went not to students but to quasi-governmental corporations that had learned to scam the system. For years, the loan program was denounced from both sides of the aisle as wasteful; it prompted a constant stream of investigations and warnings from the General Accounting Office. In 1991, for example, loans lost to default cost the federal government $3.6 billion.
The trouble was inherent in FFELP's basic design. Until Clinton's reforms, the government did not actually lend money to students, but rather coaxed banks to do so--by both guaranteeing loans and offering subsidies. Because the banks had very little incentive to get the money back once they'd loaned it--they'd get their money regardless, whether from the student or the government--"guaranty agencies" were created to police the banks. These guaranty agencies, state-chartered but privately owned, had three jobs. When a bank asked the government for reimbursement, claiming that a student had defaulted on the loan, the guaranty agency would: (1) find out if the bank had made a "good-faith" effort to collect; (2) if it had, pay the bank with money it was holding on behalf of the federal treasury; and (3) finally, pursue the loan itself, in a last ditch effort to save the federal government from swallowing the cost of the loan.
But there were serious problems with this plan. For one, guaranty agencies were literally guaranteed the contract by law, so they never had to bid for the work or worty that they'd get axed for poor performance. Worse still, the guaranty agencies actually had an incentive to do their job poorly. If they reported a lazy bank for failing to try to collect a loan, they got no reward. But if they ignored the banks, and went after all the loans themselves, they got to keep 27 percent of the money they recovered.
Not all guaranty agencies were corrupt; many did their jobs honestly and well. But there were enough bad apples--and enough other loopholes that allowed private companies to make a killing off the student loan program--that the federal government found itself wasting taxpayer dollars that were supposed to be helping young people go to college.
When he assumed office, Clinton pushed to reform this system, both to improve the program's efficiency and to give students the option of paying their loans back as a percentage of their income. Since the government was assuming the risk anyway--and since the maze of banks and guaranty agencies had proven to be a nightmare of waste and abuse--why not lend money directly from the federal Treasury? This would require the government to come up with the cash for loans. But there was potential for long-term savings, since taxpayers wouldn't have to pay interest subsidies to the banks or fork over a 27 percent cut to guaranty agencies. Clinton's idea was to have the IRS--which would have the necessary data on income--handle loan collections.
In a compromise with Congress, the bill the President signed implemented direct lending only partially. The Department of Education would have to compete with the private loan providers--banks and government--chartered groups like the Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae)--for much of the business. Direct lending would be capped at 5 percent of the total loans in the first year, but eventually anyone who wanted to could participate.
Blinded by the Right
Actually, the final bill was in many ways an improvement over what Clinton originally wanted. Setting up dual programs--both the Education Department (through direct lending) and private lenders (through the old system) would make loans to students--is a tried and true method of maintaining efficiency. Sure enough, when the government implemented a simplified application process and a speedier transfer of funds, private lenders followed suit. Forced to compete with direct lenders, Sallie Mae, which holds more student loans than any other lending agency, now offers all kinds of new repayment options for students. The same benefit was evident in the early years of the Tennessee Valley Authority, which acted as a yardstick to keep private utilities from gouging their customers.
The great disappointment of the battle over student loan reform was the loss of the IRS collection plan. As Steven Waldman recounts in The Bill, this idea died not due to corporate lobbying--which was fierce--but because of congressional turf battles. In the current political climate, there's little chance of reviving this idea. But it is a reform to keep pushing, since it would vastly simplify the process of tying loan payments to income.
So if these reforms were so smart, why do Republicans insist on rolling them back? Is it that they can't stand the idea of President Clinton--or activist government--doing something right? Or are they caving to private lenders, who prefer the old system of inefficient monopolies because they made more money that way?
The answer is "both." "It's pretty ridiculous to turn the Department of Education into some big lending institution, and the government has not exactly proved itself adept at this," says an aide to House Education and Opportunities Committee Chair William Goodling, clearly playing the anti-government card. "This is not something most Americans are comfortable with."
To make their point, Republicans cite figures that depict direct lending as vastly more expensive than the old system of banks and guaranty agencies. But their calculations are screwy. The Republicans changed the scoring rules for student loans, instructing the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to count the administrative costs of the direct lending program--but not the guaranteed loan program. In other words, the CBO had to take into account all the costs associated with overseeing direct lending, while excluding, for example, $160 million in annual subsidies to guaranty agencies that existed in the old program.
The Republicans' new accounting method by itself wouldn't be objectionable if the CBO applied it equally to both programs. But this way, the direct lending program is portrayed as much more expensive than the old guaranteed loan program. In fact, the original CBO estimate showed direct lending could save $12 billion over five years. That estimate may have been inflated because CBO didn't account for administrative costs (the Republicans did have a point on that), but the existence of at least some savings is undeniable. Since direct lending eliminates all the subsidies to banks, guaranty agencies, and other intermediaries, it is bound to bring significant savings. "As long as it is necessary to provide a profit to induce lenders to guarantee student loans," Federal Reserve Board member Lawrence Lindsey wrote recently in a letter to GOP Senator Spencer Abraham, "direct lending will be cheaper."
The best system would have direct lending and private banks compete, so that each could keep the other in line. The Republican solution, on the other hand, is to give the private-lending industry back its monopoly and then make it very difficult for the government to prevent abuse. Goodling's proposal would cut administrative funding for loan programs by two-thirds. Some of these cuts account for staff reduction in the direct lending program. But they would also force scalebacks in the Administration's ability to oversee the banks and guaranty agencies. Over seven years, those cuts could precipitate anywhere from $1.5 billion to $4 billion in new waste and fraud, according to reports by the GAO and the Education Department.
The conspicuous beneficiaries of these changes would be the guaranty agencies and banks, both of which showed their strength in the 1993 student loan debate and came back with a vengeance this year. Republican proposals explicitly forbid the Education Department from cutting subsidies to the guaranty agencies. Republicans have also thwarted the Administration's effort to take back a $1.8 billion fund that the guaranty agencies are sitting on--taxpayer money originally designated to repay banks for student loan defaults that the agencies now use to invest and make profit.
Less Competition, More Waste
Republicans claim to be seeking free market efficiency. But with student loans, they are moving toward a system with less competition and more waste. A provision in Goodling's bill would forbid the Education Department from advertising to students the option to transfer a private loan to the government, and thus get the benefits of paying back as a percentage of income. Lenders had complained they were losing business-25,000 loans have been switched over since 1993. But they were only losing business because students saw a better deal elsewhere.
If Gooding's bill passes, who will pay for these anti-reforms? Students, most likely. Although the government requires income-contingent payback options for all student loans, private lenders have shown great resistance in the absence of government competition, and enforcing the rule is difficult. The bottom line is that pay-as-you-can loans simply aren't feasible without direct lending. Private lenders don't want to do anything that might lose them money, and with the government removed as a competitor, they'll have no incentive to offer complicated payback plans. That means fewer graduates doing noble or necessary--but low-paying--work.
The other potential loss for college students is the cutbacks in subsidies that they now receive to ease the loan burden. Republicans have put the in-school interest subsidy--which pays interest on loans while students are in school, so they can complete their studies before having to worry about loans--on the blocks. Under Republican plans, the average student debt under the Stafford Loan program could increase by more than $1,400 for a four-year undergraduate, and more than $10,000 for a four-year graduate student, according to the Education Department. Again, it's not just that students will be left with big bills. Many will be scared off from college in the first place.
The Republican proposals on student loans are indicative of their ideological world view and the true nature of their political loyalties. GOP fondness for the "private sector" is defended on the grounds of efficiency and fairness: Citizens should receive the best services possible and bloated government bureaucracies often can't deliver. But, in this case, reducing government presence means worse service, and a worse deal for taxpayers as well.
With the student loan program, Republicans have an opportunity to prove that they are truly interested in fighting government waste and protecting the working class--just as they have always claimed. Instead, they are choosing to act as patrons for rich financiers, assuming no one will call them on it.
It's not too late to prove them wrong.

Peak Specific Environmental and Safety Concerns
Much of the land in Yankee Boy Basin is privately owned. Respect the rights of these landowners. Camping is not allowed on private land unless written permission has been obtained from the owners. Camping is allowed at the Amphitheater Campground in Ouray, Ridgeway State Park, and various other campgrounds in Ouray and Ridgeway. Dispersed camping is available along Canyon Creek southwest of Ouray. Protect the historic mining structures on these lands.
Minimize Campfire Impacts. Open fires are discouraged, especially in Yankee Boy Basin where wood is scarce. Campfires are prohibited in the Blue Lakes drainage of the Mount Sneffels wilderness.
Yankee Boy Basin is a popular jeep tour area. At times parking areas can be congested. Car-pooling is recommended. Drive or park only on roads and previously impacted parking sites.
Properly dispose of human waste. There is one composting toilet available for use along the road into Yankee Boy basin. If unable to use the toilet, please use proper Leave No Trace practices (i.e. below timberline, bury waste in a "cat hole" and pack out toilet paper. Above timberline, pack out all solid human and dog waste).
Plan for highly variable weather and exercise safety around other climbers. Be cautious of rolling rocks.

comment on this
I'm not saying "only a broken heart" in order to dismiss it, or to belittle it, or to make it mean less, or to diminish the experience. yes, of course, a broken heart is a big fucken deal (I mean, obviously – probably the most traumatic thing we humans go through, aside from death & trauma).
but what I'm saying is this: I have been struggling for quite some time with the elaborate, complex emotions, feelings, resentment, hurt, pain – all that crap – and I've been struggling, forcing it, really, to mean something cosmic and soul-deep and all-consuming and infinite.
but really, it's just a broken heart.
see what I'm saying? now, that is NOT to say that I don't think there are bits of the cosmos, the soul-deep, the all-consuming inside of a broken heart. I do.
but what I'm doing is naming this experience. putting it into a little box called "broken heart" and closing the lid and putting it on the shelf. it's only a broken heart. that's all this is. I've wounded; I will heal.

Stroke is the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States. It's also a leading cause of disability. Standing by to deliver 24/7 care is the multidisciplinary stroke team at Desert Regional Medical Center. Certified as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission, the hospital also received three awards in 2014 from The American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines Program: A Gold Award for Stroke, a Gold-Plus Award for Heart Failure, and a Silver Award for Resuscitation.
The majority of strokes, about 85 percent, are ischemic — involving a clot blocking the brain artery. The other 15 percent are hemorrhagic — 3 percent of which are subachronid hemorrhage, caused by a ruptured aneurysm. The statistics are frightening. One in three people with a ruptured aneurysm don't even make it to the hospital. Of those who experience a second rupture, 70 percent die.
What initially felt like "a really bad pinched neck" to Jason Cooper of Perris, California, was a ruptured aneurysm requiring advanced interventional treatment. M. Asif Taqi, MD, director of neurointervention and critical care neurology, performed an endovascular procedure to place four coils to prevent re-rupture of the aneurysm. The coils were inserted via small catheters from the groin to the brain through a blood vessel.
At 39, Cooper now has a new lease on life and, to the delight of his daughter, he quit smoking.
"It's almost like a dream, like it didn't even happen," said Cooper. "I don't have any scars and I feel fine. Dr. Taqi is a great doctor."
For ischemic stroke, the first-line treatment is IV tPA medication to break up the clot, but it must be administered within the first 3 to 4 1/2 hours. For patients who present beyond this time frame, Dr. Taqi said, "The advancement in technology has allowed an extended window of opportunity to treat patients interventionally. We can remove the clot, restore blood flow to the brain and potentially reverse the deficits of the stroke."
When Don Faulkner, 78, of Blythe had a stroke this past March, he was taken to his local hospital and ultimately airlifted to Desert Regional Medical Center, but he missed the window for treatment with IV tPA. Dr. Taqi and his team determined that Faulkner was an interventional candidate and performed an endovascular procedure via catheter to remove the clot from his brain. A few days later, he was discharged. Although there was some brain tissue damage, Faulkner's speech and mobility were restored.
"I'm feeling fine now. I'm just a little tired," he said in late May. "I went out to my garden and did a few things today. And I mowed the yard yesterday. It's a riding mower, so it's no big deal."
Faulkner's wife, Linda, said, "I believe in divine intervention. I think we were led to the right hospital and got the right doctor. Dr. Taqi helped make a miracle."

RALEIGH, NC- 'At the end of the day, we all put on our pants the same way'says Coastal Carolina sophomore forward Tristan Curtis. That's just a small part of his rationale about his team's belief that they can be the first #16 seed in NCAAtournament history to knock of a #1 seed when the Chanticleers take on the Virginia Cavaliers Friday night in the second round of the NCAAEast regional atPNCArena in Raleigh.
The Chanticleers finished the season 20-12 and won the Big South conference tournament, beating Winthrop 76-61. Their head coach knows a little thing about playing ACCteams. Cliff Ellis was the head coach of Clemson from 1988-94 and also coached at Auburn in the SECfor nearly a decade. .
His players say he's instilled a strong belief that if they just play their game, they 'will' beat Virginia. Curtis says 'We're confident in the fact that this is a very winnable game'.
'We're a lot faster than they are so if we can get out and run, Ithink we can take 'em.' says freshman center Kyle Buffkin.
The Coastal Carolina locker room was loose and joking around before their practice as they watched another #16 seed hang close with top-overall seed Florida on television Thursday. Friday night, they get their chance to make history.
'Yeah I think we're going to beat UVa, we've done all the work to beat them. We know how they play, we know how they act, we're just going to go out there and we're going to win'' says Curtis.

By DAVID SAYEN
While it's difficult to find a silver lining with any tragedy, I became aware of a blessing amid the sadness a few weeks ago when I was reunited with cherished individuals who played a significant part in my past law enforcement career during the funeral service of a former patrol partner of mine.
If you don't know by now that I am deeply involved in Relay For Life, you just haven't read my column, in about, 10 years.
My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary.
So there's no way to deny it, I am definitely a sports fan(atic).
I could watch Brad Pitt solve a crossword puzzle for three hours.
May always makes me think of Mother's Day and flowers. And this year we added a graduation, planning for a wedding in June, and everything else in between.
As I write this, a named suspect wanted for attempted murder is on-the-lam in a city that doesn't have any detectives to investigate its cases.
Many of our readers may recall the little yellow VW bug that became former Riverbank News editor John Branch's 'signature' vehicle. We laughed (mostly with him) at the trademark jet engine sound when he fired the bug up, shared our concern when one of the wheels literally fell off as he was turning the corner to come to the Oakdale office – luckily he was close enough to park with three wheels intact – and celebrated with him when the bug went to storage and a newer, more reliable vehicle emerged.
As I write this, a named suspect wanted for attempted murder is on-the-lam, in a city that doesn't have any detectives to investigate its cases.
Who knew there would be an adjustment period to living the dream? I certainly didn't. Many of you know I published my first book in December 2006 and it's been a dream of mine for longer than I can remember to support myself solely on my fiction writing income. After many years of incredibly hard work, I managed to make that dream a reality and I left my post at The Leader to live the dream.
As I write this column, I am planning to be off work for an ROTC assignment.
Monday, April 15 did not start for me as it did my friend and running teammate Cathy McClelland or Oakdaleans Vanessa Walton and Tom Burchell, or Jesse Santana of Riverbank. I did not board a motor coach in my sneakers with a race bib pinned to the front of my shirt in anticipation of running the 117th Boston Marathon.
No need to check the calendar and this isn't an April Fool's Day joke – I am just trying to get my column schedule back 'on track' after having been haphazard about it the last couple of months. I know one ran just last week, so forgive me for the back-to-backs.
Twenty years goes faster than you think. Trust me.
Page 5 of 21
Around the newsroom this week, upcoming graduations were a popular topic as some of the reporters prepared to cover the high school commencements. At our last staff meeting I was taken back when I heard of one local high school's selection of four valedictorians and two salutatorians for its graduating class.
An adventure stretching over eight years … covering literally thousands of miles … hastily eaten hotel breakfasts (sometimes hot and sometimes not) – and memories to last a lifetime.
A recent newsroom conversation about the passing of legendary Giants and A's broadcaster Lon Simmons earlier this month sparked a conversation about baseball on the radio and some of those memorable voices that trademark a baseball game with their ability to speak.
So it is that exciting time of year when baseball is in the air, basketball (March Madness, specifically) is just about in the rearview mirror and, for those with teams still in it, the Stanley Cup playoffs loom just around the corner.

One Direction star savors London fashion styles
LONDON – One Direction star Harry Styles was in the front row at the House of Holland catwalk show on Saturday as the British label injected some Latin heat and attitude into London Fashion Week.
The pop star looked on as models strode down a cloud-printed catwalk in the top floor of a Soho car park, street-ready in bright colors and bold prints and energized by a pumping soundtrack.
Designer Henry Holland said he took his inspiration from a "trip to balmy Mexico City by way of the tattoo parlors of Venice Beach," where "the stench of tequila and petrol is thick in the air."
A rose tattoo motif linked the outfits, printed onto fluorescent orange or pink dresses, sewn into sexy skin-tight lace or laid into a cloud pattern and embellished with iridescent crystal.
Fierce but feminine, there were checked frocks in blues and oranges, a tight red and orange skirt, an orange bomberjacket and a white leather jacket with a print of the Virgin Mary on the back.
Holland even created coordinated leather holsters for his so-called "Homegirls" to store their keys and phone.
The designer has long been a favorite of Britain's 'it' crowd and Styles had to squeeze in next to Kelly Osborne, singer Ellie Goulding, socialite Pixie Geldof and fashionista Alexa Cheung.
"It was good, he did very well, I liked it," the pop star said afterwards, looking slightly out of place among the fashion pack in a white t-shirt and black jeans with holes at the knees.
Holland was the highlight of day two of the five-day London event, which showcases global British brands alongside up-and-coming designers.
Popular trio Sister by Sibling is one of those labels that have developed a reputation for fun, and this season took its inspiration from 1950s American suburban housewives – but with a twist.
Britons Sid Bryan, Joe Bates and Cozette McCreery created an image of "domestic glamour" with pastel colors and classic swing coats, oversized jerseys and pencil skirts, accessorized with fluffy stilettos and big hair.
But their clothes are never prim, and other models wore pink sweaters bearing the words 'Lead Sister' and 'Happy' tucked into tiny denim shorts, while loose knit skirts and tops left very little to the imagination.
Across town, Orla Kiely also turned to a traditional image of womanhood for her collection – the girl guides.
Models clad in cute animal-print outfits, long socks and berets engaged in badge-worthy activities such as camping and painting against a backdrop of the African savannah installed in an artists' studio in Covent Garden.
They wore little dresses and skirts with safari pockets, printed with stylized images of zebras, lions, giraffes and rhinos.
"We started off wanting to do a bit of a safari, 1970s, girl guide thing," the Irish-born designer told AFP, adding: "It's kind of cute."

To the victor, belongs the spoils.Had former French president Nicolas Sarkozy won reelection, he certainly would not be under investigation for illegally funding his campaign, nor there would be an investigation regarding his involvement in fraudulent arms sales to Pakistan.Perhaps Sarkozy wants to escape such charges, or perhaps he wants to move for tax reasons, but regardless of why, the latest political scandal is Sarkozy's plans 'to dodge new 75% French tax rate by moving to London with wife Carla and setting up £1bn private equity fund'
Nicolas Sarkozy is preparing to move to London to set up a billion pounds plus investment fund, it was claimed today.If the move goes ahead, the controversial Frenchman will become the latest to escape a potential top tax rate of 75 per cent in his home country.He and his former supermodel third wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy would be likely to settle in an affluent district like South Kensington – so becoming the most high profile Gallic celebrity couple in the city.But the former president is under investigation for corruption in France, and if he does cross the Channel there will be outrage.Details of the planned move were uncovered during a raid by fraud police on Sarkozy's Paris mansion last June.It came within weeks of Mr Sarkozy losing his immunity against prosecution after being defeated by Socialist rival Francois Hollande in the May presidential election.Now the hugely respected investigative news site Mediapart reports that the 'first draft' of Mr Sarkozy's London project was found by detectives examining his computer files.Mr Sarkozy is said to have taken the money from Liliane Bettencourt, the I' Oreal heiress – a claim the politician denies, but for which he could still receive a prison sentence.He is also being investigated over numerous other funding scandals, including one linked to arms sales to Pakistan, and another in which he is said to have used millions in taxpayers' money to pay friends to produce opinion polls while he was in office.Mediapart suggests that the planned London move would create a 'conflict of interest' – not only because Sarkozy is being investigated, but because a former French president should not choose the UK as a base to make his fortune.
On Tuesday night, France was rife with speculation – hotly denied [Not Really - at least by Sarkozy - Mish] that Nicolas Sarkozy plans to set up a £800 million private equity fund across the Channel in London.The former French president, who left office in June, has been using his new job as a highly paid international conference speaker to try and stump up capital for the new venture, according to Mediapart, the respected investigative website.Mediapart said the former leader's plan to launch a private equity fund in London is currently in the "exploratory" stage and that no company has yet been officially created.Sources close to Mr Sarkozy dismissed the alleged plan as an "intellectual construction", with one telling The Daily Telegraph the former leader "does not confirm anything in the article". [No Confirmation, but No Denial either - Mish]However, the website cited "very precise financial and industry sources" as saying plans are definitely afoot. With the help of Alain Minc, a businessman and confidant, Mr Sarkozy has since October been seeking to recruit investors during a string of conferences, the first two for Brazilian group PTB Pactual, which has a large private equity arm. Yesterday, Mr Minc denied playing any role in creating such a fund."It is absurd to think he would move to London and stop paying taxes in France." "Nicolas Sarkozy doesn't need me to meet the world's biggest funds," he told Le Figaro. "He has a thousand contacts and hasn't made up his mind about what he wants to do." [The statement by Minc is not exactly a denial either - Mish].Laurent Mauduit the Mediapart journalist who wrote the article, said: "I note Minc denies things I never wrote." "I never said he would physically move to London but planned to set up his company there," he told The Daily Telegraph.

Reducing plastic marine litter in Mediterranean: a "Fishing for Litter" campaign in France
The pollution of our seas and oceans from marine litter - especially plastic litter - has taken alarming dimensions.
If reducing this kind of pollution in the Mediterranean goes through more recycling from plastic waste, we also need to start working to remove the litter that already pollutes our seas. The launch of the Waste Free Ocean project, will take place on May 20 at Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Nice. In this pilot project, set up by the European Plastics Converters, an EU-level Trade Association, fishermen are purposely making trips with a specially designed boom to collect surface litter. Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Maria Damanaki welcomes this joint project of the plastics and fisheries industries and hopes the practice will be extended to other Member States. Financial support for such initiatives is possible through the European Fisheries Fund. In April of this year she launched the idea of the Europe wide project in Athens.

NEWORLEANS- It's a chronic problem across the city of New Orleans - broken and missing street name signs and traffic signs in just about every neighborhood.
Just two blocks from WWL-TV, at North Villerie and Ursulines in Treme, the brackets are there, but the signs are gone.
Contractor Shorty James was working on a nearby church. 'I can't see no sign on some of the streets and I don't know where I'm at,' said James. 'I'm not from here.'
Shakti Bellway and her brother got tired of hearing about the missing sign down the street at Treme and Governor Nicholls and took matters into their own hands. 'We were in the process of renovating our house and we pulled some old floor boards from this house from the 1800s, just painted them and wrote up our own street sign and climbed up and nailed it down,' said Bellway.
Bellway says they are now working on a new, more colorful sign in honor of her new baby girl Phoenix.
'Now that this little precious baby is here with us, we thought we'd make a new one and add her footprints to it,' she said.
There are still a lot of corners in New Orleans that have the old black on white paper streets signs. The letters are starting to fade. At Leonidas and Spruce in the West Carrollton neighborhood, the Spruce Street sign is barely readable.
'I think you need a special pair of eye glasses because you know, you get lost around here,' said neighbor Jon John. 'You can't read the signs you get lost, you know.'
Help is now on the way. The city just set aside $1.5 million for street sign repairs. Crews are now hard at work replacing street name signs and broken traffic signs. Ricardo Ortiz and his fellow New Orleans cab drivers appreciate the effort.
'If you don't have the street signs, for some of us that are not well seasoned, haven't been out here 20 years, yes, it's a little bit difficult for us,' said Ortiz.
So far, city crews have installed 438 new street name signs along with 773 new traffic signs. The city is now taking inventory of the missing and broken signs.
If you have one on your block, you are urged to call NOLA 311 or report it in the NOLA 311 page of the city of New Orleans website, www.nola.gov.

12:0464(89)AR - VA and AFGE Local 2978 -- 1983 FLRAdec AR
[ v12 p464 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
12 FLRA No. 89 VETERANS ADMINISTRATION (Agency) and AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, AFL-CIO, LOCAL 2978 (Union) Case No. O-AR-513 DECISION This matter is before the Authority on an exception to the award of Arbitrator Seymour Strongin filed on behalf of the Union under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Agency filed an opposition to the Union's exception. The dispute in this matter concerns the issue of whether the discharge of a probationary employee, allegedly for cause, is arbitrable under the parties' collective bargaining agreement. The Arbitrator concluded that the grievance machinery of the parties' agreement does not cover disputes involving the discharge of probationary employees. Accordingly, as his award, the Arbitrator dismissed the grievance. In its exception, the Union contends that the award is deficient "because the grounds on which the arbitrator founded his award do not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to have determined the grievance to be nonarbitrable." More specifically, the Union essentially disputes the Arbitrator's conclusion that termination of a probationary employee does not constitute a "disc

Tree harvesting design that is forest-friendly
Making strides: this concept tree harvester can take 8-meter steps and functions on marshy ground and inclines of up to 36 percent
Article Summary
A German mechanical engineer has designed a tree harvester that weighs just over a tenth of conventional vehicles used to fell trees, which causes less damage to forest floor. Industrial tree harvesting vehicles can weigh up to 55 tons. In comparison, the "Striding Harvester" weighs only 7.5 tons. The concept harvester by mechanical engineer and industrial designer Christian Knobloch works by using a small footprint selectively pushing down on the soil as it moves. Through this approach the soil is allowed to recover much faster than if conventional heavy forest equipment was employed.
