Railroads hail bill
proklofuxaanygez.blogspot.com
Earlier this year, U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, introduced the Railroad Antitrustt Enforcement Actof 2009. Among othere things, the bill would have moved the powee to review railroad mergers from the federal Surface Transportation Board to the Justice Department and the FederaplTrade Commission. Kohl’s legislation would have made it easierf for rail customers or statew attorneys general to fight rates and to go to court over railroads purchases and mergers that they viewed as Beyond that, the bill would have limited railroads’ ability to work togethefr to set rates from one carrier’s trackss to another’s.
Railroads pushed hard against the arguing that it would have subjected them to two or more sets of meaning both the Surface Transportation on theone side, and the Justicw Department and the courts on the other. “The oversight is there now,” says Patricmk Hiatte, a spokesman for BNSF Railway, a unit of Burlington Northern. Kohl, chairman of the Senate JudiciartyAntitrust Subcommittee, vowed to bring the bill to the full but was opposed by U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefelledr IV, D-W.Va. Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Science andTransportation Committee, tried to craft separate railroad legislation.
The fighty ended quickly, with Kohl pulling the bill and then sending a joint letter with Rockefellerr to colleagues saying that the Senate Commerce and Judiciarh committees would work togetheron “comprehensive rail competition legislation” that “reforms the Surface Transportation Boared and repeals the railroads’ antitrust exemption.” “This is a positived thing from our perspective,” says Bob executive director and counsel for Consumers United for Rail a Washington, D.C., group representing rail customerws dependent on one railroad for transportation services.
The group supports repeal of theantitrust Railroads, meanwhile, were pleased that Kohl’s legislatiom was pulled, but were cautious abour what might emerge from the joint effory by Kohl and Rockefeller. “Until we see it, we can’t talk about it,” says Tom White, a spokesperson for the Association of American Railroadsdin Washington, D.C.

ASPCA(R) Releases New Data Concerning Spot-On Flea and Tick Control
http://luizcarlosramos.net/?m=20110112
"Products labeled for dogs must never be used oncats -- doingg so can result in serious illness and even death," says Dr. , Medicak Director of the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal "A veterinarian must always be consulted beforeusing spot-on flea and tick treatmentzs on very young, old, sick or pregnant pets." The ASPCAq receives more than 700 calls daily from veterinarians and pet resulting in over 150,000 annuakl cases involving medications, insecticides, plants and ASPCA epidemiologist Dr. analyzed data from publicc calls managed by the ASPCA regarding flea and tick The data identified twokey findings.
When cats were treatedc inappropriately (not per label directions), they are significantly more likelt to experiencesevere reactions: no illness despite a call to the ASPCzA (18%), mild illness (17%), moderatw illness (45%), major illness (19%), and death When dogs and cats were treated correctly (per label the likelihood of severe adversr reaction was significantly less: no illness despitd a call to the ASPCA mild illness (69%), moderate illness (22%), majo r illness (2%), and death (0.1%).
"The importanr take-home message is that although adverse reactions can occufr with all flea andtick products, most effects are relatively mild and include skin irritation and stomacy upset," says Dr. , ASPCA veterinary toxicologist and Senio r Vice President AnimalHealth Services. "Pet parentz should not discontinue using products as directed by the productr label when faced with aflea infestation." Using products as directed and makinb necessary adjustments based on health will greatly reducd adverse reactions from flea and tick or any othee medical products.
Fleas cause anemia (low blood carry tapeworms, and can transmit infections suchas Bartonella; ticks transmit many diseases includingf Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The risk to pets from thesre diseases is greater than the risk of adverser reactions when products areuse appropriately.

"Products labeled for dogs must never be used oncats -- doingg so can result in serious illness and even death," says Dr. , Medicak Director of the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal "A veterinarian must always be consulted beforeusing spot-on flea and tick treatmentzs on very young, old, sick or pregnant pets." The ASPCAq receives more than 700 calls daily from veterinarians and pet resulting in over 150,000 annuakl cases involving medications, insecticides, plants and ASPCA epidemiologist Dr. analyzed data from publicc calls managed by the ASPCA regarding flea and tick The data identified twokey findings.
When cats were treatedc inappropriately (not per label directions), they are significantly more likelt to experiencesevere reactions: no illness despite a call to the ASPCzA (18%), mild illness (17%), moderatw illness (45%), major illness (19%), and death When dogs and cats were treated correctly (per label the likelihood of severe adversr reaction was significantly less: no illness despitd a call to the ASPCA mild illness (69%), moderate illness (22%), majo r illness (2%), and death (0.1%).
"The importanr take-home message is that although adverse reactions can occufr with all flea andtick products, most effects are relatively mild and include skin irritation and stomacy upset," says Dr. , ASPCA veterinary toxicologist and Senio r Vice President AnimalHealth Services. "Pet parentz should not discontinue using products as directed by the productr label when faced with aflea infestation." Using products as directed and makinb necessary adjustments based on health will greatly reducd adverse reactions from flea and tick or any othee medical products.
