Rat Race Wars:
New York Over New Orleans
~By building mini-models of city layouts at the Tel Aviv University Research Zoo, Prof. Eilam and his colleagues found that grid-like city layouts — like that of Manhattan — are much more rat- and people-friendly than cities with unstructured and winding streets, like those in New Orleans.
~Ratitilla begs for change~ Yeah, well, aside from the big mistake in this research for not including the 3rd Dimension of Rat Living that has made New York Rats such vicious sociopaths, to wit: the ability to Go Down Deep Beneath the Naked City, New Orleans Rats are obviously smarter than New Your Rats because they have a more Complex Cognitive Resonance (CCR) goin'on down'heah, within such an arguably reso'phonic environ. Though our Rats also display a bit o'dat Complex Cognitive Dissonance (CCD) goin'on too, Ratitilla remains hopeful that we can also win that racewar between population and rythmystical density.

Recovery continues after TVA ash spill~Andrea Hall
~But in the midst of the testing and spill in Kingston, arsenic was found in the water just over the border of Alabama near TVA's Widow's Creek Fossil Plant, after a spill occurred on January 9.
It has been reported by the TVA Web site that both sites drinking water is safe and meet standards.
Gregory Button, an anthropology professor at UT, has been studying disasters for the past 30 years and traveled to the sight of the spill. "In terms of toxic contamination there are certain chemicals that are undisputable harmful particularly in large quantities and we are beginning to see that might be a problem," Button said. As of right now Button said we don't understand the magnitude of the problem yet so people that live in close proximity will have live with that uncertainty or leave.
