Extractions: Most of Louisiana's voters- 76.7%- would be willing to support a smaller tax cut by Congress to fund programs that reduce child abuse and neglect, according to a public opinion poll released today by the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA). The survey, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research, found that residents of the Pelican State would be willing to accept a reduction in the size of a tax cut if it meant the needs of Louisiana's most vulnerable children, youth, and families would be better served. The poll sampled voter attitudes toward funding levels for various children's services in the state, such as child protection, Head Start, and afterschool programs, in relation to proposed tax cuts now before Congress. Regardless of their age group or party affiliation, the state's voters favored investing in programs to help children and families. If it meant more funding to help schools better educate disadvantaged students 74.1% of voters said they would support a smaller tax cut. "This poll confirms our belief that most people would prefer helping distressed children and families to taking the largest tax cut possible. It's about investments in all of our futures. Once again, the public is way ahead of many politicians," commented CWLA Deputy Director Michael Petit. "Seventy-six percent of those responding believed that government has a role in preventing and treating child abuse and neglect."

Extractions: The combination of aquatic nuisance species, agriculture run-off, warm temperatures and low water levels may be creating increased frequency and expanding the area of an anoxic "dead zone" in Lake Erie, according to Ohio Sea Grant and EPA researchers. In Lake Erie's "dead zone," researchers are working to determine the causes of what has become an annual summer occurrence. Called a "dead zone" because its oxygen level falls below that which can support aquatic animals, the phosphorus-rich water threatens the health of the lake's ecosystem. Ohio Sea Grant and the U.S. EPA's Great Lakes National Program Office supported a graduate student Great Lakes limnology course and research cruise this summer, during which Ohio State University researcher David Culver directed water quality analysis of the lake's nutrient levels and experiments to determine zebra and quagga mussels' phosphorus excretion rates. The zebra mussel invaded Lake Erie first, but recent results show that quagga mussels have outcompeted them in all three basins. Culver's preliminary results showed that both mussels excreted phosphorus, but the quagga mussel excreted more than equivalent-sized zebra mussels. The results suggest that both zebra and quagga mussels recycle phosphorus, and as their populations continue to grow, so will high levels of phosphorus that contribute to Lake Erie's "dead zone." Human contributions to high phosphorus levels and the ensuing "dead zone" have plagued Lake Erie for many years. Increased phosphorus inputs stimulate overgrowth of algae. In the 1960s and 1970s, tens of thousands of tons of phosphorus from sewage plants and other sources were dumped in the lake, causing the entire lake to be declared "dead" as oxygen was eliminated from up to 90% of the bottom waters of the lake in the central basin area. But extensive cleanup efforts since then have reduced the amount of phosphorus entering the lake to about 11,000 metric tons a year.

Extractions: CHAMBLEE, Ga. (AP) - Some Chamblee High School students expecting to see the usual morning announcements instead glimpsed a hard-core prank Tuesday morning. School administrators were trying to determine who swapped a pornographic videotape for the school announcements tape, sending the images out to several classrooms. "Our children in our news class do a tape each morning of the Chamblee morning news, and they bring it to the media center, and our media center specialist puts it into the machine," said assistant principal Becky Chambers. Before the program is broadcast, the media specialist leaves the media center and goes to the main office, to turn on an audio feed to two or three places in the high school that do not have closed-circuit televisions, Chambers said.
