NEWS BRIEFS The Greening of MM&P, Plans and MITAGS MM&P headquarters, MM&P Plans and MITAGS are imple- menting a range of new strategies to preserve resources, boost efficiency and promote environmental conservation. At headquarters, the recent building renovation has provided an opportunity to install energy efficient heating and air con- ditioning, including sensors that regulate the temperature to save energy when rooms are unoccupied. At the end of last year, headquarters staff began recycling paper and cardboard, as well as bottles and cans. Enormous changes are underway at MITAGS, where countless energy-saving innovations have been made under the oversight of Director of Conference Center Operations Colin Mepstead, a systems engineer. Among the projects that have been completed: the installation of new air conditioning units, that use only one third the power of those they replaced, in the South Tower conference rooms and South Tower bedrooms; the introduction of “soft start” motor As part of MM&P’s drive to conserve energy and resources, the union has controls for the water cooling tower, that start slow and then added drought-resistant plants to the landscaping around the headquarters speed up, resulting in about 60 percent energy savings; instal- building.

The union restated this position in response to a request for information from members of the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, who were following up on MM&P’s Oct. 17 testimony on the topic of maritime training and the workforce. During the Oct. 17 hearing and in follow-up correspondence, Mike Rodriguez, Executive Assistant to MM&P International President Tim Brown, urged the subcommittee to consider leg- islation that would put an end to the criminalization of mariners involved in unintentional acts, calling such an effort essential to improving morale, along with employee retention rates. MM&P supports the proposed International Maritime Organization’s Standards and Recommended Practices for a Safety Investigation Into a Marine Casualty, an international code that would require seafarers be informed of their right to counsel if and when investigating authorities begin gathering informa- tion with an eye to possible criminal prosecution. The IMO code also calls for safety investigation functions to be separated from criminal prosecutions and other disciplinary actions. At the very least, MM&P argues, seafarers involved in an accident must be Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire met with officers informed of the nature of the investigation and the possibility and members of MM&P’s Offshore and United Inland Groups, that their testimony may be used against them.

    L f ^-l R A R > ^l^ ■'■mx^ • DEC2 2 59SO , A Handbook of tnV MOSQUITOES of the SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES W. V. King G. H. Bradley Carroll N. Smith and W. C. MeDuffle Agriculture Handbook No. 173 Agricultural Research Service UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE \ I PRECAUTIONS WITH INSECTICIDES All insecticides are potentially hazardous to fish or other aqpiatic organisms, wildlife, domestic ani- mals, and man. The dosages needed for mosquito control are generally lower than for most other insect control, but caution should be exercised in their application. Do not apply amounts in excess of the dosage recommended for each specific use. In applying even small amounts of oil-insecticide sprays to water, consider that wind and wave action may shift the film with consequent damage to aquatic life at another location. Heavy applications of insec- ticides to ground areas such as in pretreatment situa- tions, may cause harm to fish and wildlife in streams, ponds, and lakes during runoff due to heavy rains. Avoid contamination of pastures and livestock with insecticides in order to prevent residues in meat and milk. Operators should avoid repeated or prolonged contact of insecticides with the skin. Insecticide con- centrates may be particularly hazardous. Wash off any insecticide spilled on the skin using soap and water. If any is spilled on clothing, change imme- diately. Store insecticides in a safe place out of reach of children or animals. Dispose of empty insecticide containers. Always read and observe instructions and precautions given on the label of the product. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Agriculture Handbook No.

  • As Pests. General Description
    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS VOL. 38 May 18, 1923 No. 20 GUIDE TO MOSQUITO IDENTIFICATION FOR FIELD WORKERS ENGAGED IN MALARIA CONTROL IN THE UNITED STATES. By W. H. W. Komp, Assistant Sanitary Engineer, United States Public Health Servicc. Successful control of malaria by antimosquito measures is based upon a knowledge of the species concerned in malaria transmission. Recent malaria-control work undertaken by cooperating health agencies in urban communities in the southern United States has shown the necessity for controlling both nonmalaria-carrying and malaria-carrying mosquitoes, because the public frequently judges the success of malaria-control measures by the amount of reduction of the mosquito nuisance. This guide will discuss only those species which carry malaria in the United States, or which, while not carriers of infection, are sufficiently common in malarious regions to be known as pests. General Description. Mosquitoes belong to the order Diptera of the insects, the true flies, which have only two wings. The body of the mosquito is divided into three parts-head, thorax, and abdomen. The head is almost entirely composed of large compound eyes, and bears also the feelucr or antenne, and two appendages at the base of the feelers,- known as the palpi, and a long, prominent proboscis, or beak. The thorax bears the two wings and six legs, and two small appendages near the base of the wings, short knobbed stalks, known as halteres, character- istic of the true flies. The abdomen, composed of ten segments, bears no appendages except the inconspicuous sexual apparatus at the tip. Mosquitoes may be distinguished from all other two-winged insects by the possession of scales along the wing veins, a fringe of scales along the hind margin of the wings, together with the prominent proboscis or beak, which projects from the head.
