One of these pollutants isnot well known yet: Ultrafine Particles. They are measured by the number, not by mass, because they are very small with less than 100 nm in diameter. It is well known, that they cuase diverse negative health effects. A new study from Kopenhagen (Denmark-Europe, "Measurement of ultrafine par-ticles at the apron of Copen-hagen Airport, Kastrup - in re-lation to work environment", Thomas Ellermann and Andreas Massling, Nov 2010) Airport says: One of the main conclusion:"The temporal and geographic variation in number of particles is big. The number of particles at the apron can, in ½-hour average value, be more than 500.000 partikler/cm3 , whereas only up till 40.000 particles/cm3 was measured at H.C.

Why does Brown always pick-on the public services and the most vulnerable? He should close corporate and commercial tax loopholes, introduce an oil extraction tax, an oil corporation, windfall-profits tax and trim the service-debt interest paid to Wall Street. These taxes have to be rolled-back. These budget cuts will prolong the recession. Brown is blackmailing Californians. Why does Brown always pick-on the public services and the most vulnerable?

In addition, as many of the low income housing projects have been and are being developed in the Pico Neigbhorhood, the money is being used to violate the civil rights of the minority residents by perpetuating segregated schools in violation of Brown v The Board of Education of Topeka Kansas.  When Prop 22 was on the ballot, which prevented the transfer of RDA funds to the schools, our school board, controlled by SMRR apparachiks, did not come out againt it. This is because they owed their allegiance not to the students first, but to SMRR.  The steering committee wanted the RDA funds for low income housing instead of the schools. This is a great decision for our schools and hopefully will end the City's George Wallace housing policy.

At 67 years of age, she has channeled a lot of wisdom and experience into her novels. Santa Monica is truly her first love, and it comes alive on the pages. I understand there is a second novel coming soon and I eagerly await it. After 30 years and more of writing, Mar Preston is an overnight success.
