"The opening of the new $103 million Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center tomorrow is nearly the culmination of a 14-year plan to relocate the hub of tourist activity well away from the battle lines of the defining North-South clash of 160,000 men, and to restore Cemetery Ridge to the way it looked that summer 145 years ago."

Major League Baseball National League (Baseball) New York Mets NL East Division - SI Vault

I remember this the first time around. It is a classic, but well worth a read!

Major League Baseball National League (Baseball) New York Mets NL East Division - SI Vault:

"Nelson Doubleday is especially hopeful about Finch's ultimate decision. 'I think we'll bring him around,' he said a few days ago. 'After all, the guy's not a nut, he's a Harvard man.'

In the meantime, the Mets can only wait. Finch periodically turns up at the enclosure. Reynolds is summoned. There are no drills. Sometimes Finch throws for five minutes, instantly at top speed, often for half an hour. Then he leaves. Security around the enclosure has been tight. Since Finch has not signed with the Mets, he is technically a free agent and a potential find for another club. The curious, even Met players, are politely shooed away from the Payson Field enclosure."

CDC enters fray over tainted FEMA trailers - USATODAY.com:

"In February, the CDC released preliminary results showing that most of the 519 units tested had elevated levels of formaldehyde. It urged people to move out of the units.

The agency came under fire for a report it issued a year earlier — drafted at the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) — that minimized the dangers of formaldehyde. Commissioned by a FEMA attorney, the report concluded that leaving windows open and air conditioning running would keep formaldehyde below 'levels of concern.'

ATSDR Director Howard Frumkin was criticized for ignoring the concerns of a top agency toxicologist, Christopher De Rosa."

Cell phone usage linked to brain tumors. - Tampa Bays Local News:

"Three billion people all over the world, using mobile phones every single day.

The numbers are staggering. But, even more shocking is a new study by an Australian neurosurgeon. He says ten years of cell phone use can double your risk of a brain tumor.

How many hours have you spent on your phone? Day after day, year after year.

Not so fast, says one neurologist from the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute.

“There's no need to change your ways,” says Dr. Sajeel A. Chowdhary.

Dr. Chowdhary sees more than 200 brain tumors a year at the Moffitt Cancer Center. He says, not one has a direct link to cell phone usage."
