"80% of wild plants are estimated to depend on insects for pollination, while 60% of birds rely on insects as a food source." <br /><br />Our ability to free ourselves from this latest quandary depends on our ability to correctly answer the following question: will transnational corporations ever be able to concede that their products are harmful to the environment, if such honesty would mean losing many millions, even billions of dollars in profit? Tragically, it seems that mankind's level of common sense has not yet reached such a level of development, and that could be the cause of our ultimate downfall as a species. The loss of simple common sense.

City officials warned that water use was outpacing the amount of water being treated, and that residents needed to cut their personal water use by 15 to 20 percent to keep the city from running out of water altogether.<br />[more; hoping Mike's okay]<br /><br />Willa rapidly weakens as it moves closer to US-Mexico border<br />http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/willa-rapidly-weakens-as-it-moves-closer-to-us-mexico-border/ar-BBOOQdJ<br /><br />Willa weakened to a tropical depression early Wednesday as it ran into mountains, and is expected to be a rainmaker by the time it crosses the US-Mexico border. <br /><br />Winds were at 35 mph and the storm was moving toward the northeast through central Mexico. The storm will continue to weaken as it hits the Sierra Madre mountain range and pumps moisture into northern Mexico and Texas.

The European experience may offer a window on how quickly things can go awry when parents choose not to vaccinate their children, doctors caution.<br /><br />Because measles is relatively rare in the U.S., many Americans have no idea of the disease's frightening impact and its stunning contagiousness.<br /><br />Many forget that measles isn't just a childhood disease.

The S&P 500 has now fallen for 12 of the last 14 trading days, and it is on pace for its worst October since the last financial crisis. But the U.S. is actually in much better shape than the rest of the world at this point. Even though they have fallen precipitously in recent days, U.S. stocks are still up 3 percent for the year overall. On the other hand, global stocks (excluding the U.S.) are now down more than 10 percent for the year, and they are down more than 15 percent from the peak of the market in January. All it is going to take is a couple more really bad trading sessions to push global stocks into bear market territory.<br /><br />And even though U.S. stocks are still outperforming the rest of the world, many are anticipating that the U.S. is definitely heading for a bear market as well.
