Five (5) articles have been added today.
1) According to the
Chicago Sun Times, on June
8, the EPA may severely
restrict or ban the organophosphate nerve agent Dursban (chlorpyrifos)
from indoor use.
For decades, Dursban has been applied extensively --
more than once by
unlicensed applicators -- on the SBU campus.

Organophosphate
Dursban
May Be Banned for Indoor Use
Chicago Sun Times
Other information will follow in the next
several days.
~~~*~~~
2) British researchers have found
evidence that long-term, low-level exposure
to the organophosphate pesticides can damage the nervous system, particularly
the autonomic nervous system -- the nerves that
control the heart, lungs, brain
and skin.
2) ~*~New

3) WebMD Medical
News has published some auxiliary details
regarding
the Harvard University findings that the
"excruciating pain" which occurs
during migraine headaches at even the slightest touch, movement, or
change
in temperature is, in fact, precipitated by the process known as
"neurological
sensitization."
Such "excruciating pain" often accompanies the
migraines and "toxic
headaches"
of those patients who, like Marie, experience debilitating pain which is
triggered
by strong odors or (as in Marie's case) by exposure to pesticides and
petrochemicals.
3) ~*~New
Today~*~

4) The June 5 cover story of the
largest weekly business magazine,
Business Week, has broached the topic of indoor air quality
in office
and business buildings. The story, which can be
read on line,
was
the feature news story on America Online yesterday,
May 31.

5) We ask that the SBU
Trustees and the Missouri Baptist
Convention
make particular note of the insightful, accompanying Editorial Commentary.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Marie has asked that
the deadline for the response of
Southwest Baptist University and
the Missouri Baptist University to the
"Sensitivity of the Heart:
A Proposal For Peace" be extended.
As much as we would like to have a direct and immediate response,
we realize -- as has already been hinted at by postings on this site --
that this situation has become very complex and long-standing,
involving dozens of individuals.
Therefore, the deadline has been extended for one
week to:
Monday, June
12,
2000
12:00
noon (CST).
Perhaps, at a later date, we will be permitted to recount the fuller
details of the "adventures" of the past several weeks.
For the time being, however, we can simply pass on the extension
announcement.
Thank you for your prayers -- which have been very much needed
this past week.
Welcome back students!

The
Brick
A young and very successful executive was traveling down a
neighborhood street.
He was going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for
kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he
thought he saw something.
As his car passed no children appeared, instead, a brick
smashed into
the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes, spun the Jag back to the spot from where the
brick had been thrown.
He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against
a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just
what the heck are you doing?"
Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That's a new car and that
brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
"Please, mister, please, I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!"
pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would
stop."
Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the
parked car.
"It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his
wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get
him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried desperately to swallow the
rapidly swelling lump in his throat.
Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took
out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see
that everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you, sir! God bless you!"
He then watched the boy push his brother down the sidewalk toward
their home. It was a long walk back to his Jaguar, a long and slow walk.
He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not
to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to
get your attention.
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart.
Sometimes, when you don't have the time to listen ... life throws a
brick at your head.
It's your choice:
Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick ...
