but i do explain where there are other clusters there is a famous one in nevada florida and new mexico there is said disease cluster and you will see of map of these clusters. we know they're all over. sometimes there is one for no reason it can occur just random so that is the job of epidemiology to figure out which are the cause and which are random so my own view is of course, sarah they there are other toms river out there but they're not so easy to rigidify and there is a real question if agencies can spend the millions of dollars to two similar studies in other places generally they're not willing to do that. and the feeling is that the vested interest will not be happy about it. there are really benefactors with the existing science from toms river but i am hoping that is another way by betting communities of public health agencies know that it is a clue and a piece of evidence and we should not ignore that. i have some of the historical sections and the science of the b-2 -- epidemiology and how it develops. we learned a lot about human health and we saved millions of lives bet

nevada. while serving in the house, i also introduced legislation in both the 110th and 111th congresses to convey parcels of b.l.m. land to the necessarily is air force base to create a vehicle park and to convey land to the nevada system of higher education to expand educational opportunities for southern nevadans. those smaller bills were ultimately included in s. 973 this congress, so i am pleased that over six years' of work on this tooly springs legislation will finally become a reality. the final three nevada bills included in the lands package are newer proposals but achieve long-term economic objectives that the affected communities have long asked for. the friendly economic self-determination act provides the opportunity to purchase up to 9,114,000 acres of federal land within the city boundaries for economic development. firmly was incorporated in 2001. since incorporation, the city has been working with the private business partners and state and federal regional agencies to develop a long-term economic development planning. these parcels have significant potential for commercial indus

to a bunch of bureaucrats in washington for the people of the state of nevada to do what is in the best interests of the state of nevada, the land that is there? that makes no sense. i have mentioned the bill's not deficit neutral. $310 million, including more than $200 million in costs to the national park system are going to come through with this bill. and unless you assume nothing's going to happen that's authorized in this, there is no way you can deny that this isn't going to cost another half a billion dollars a year. as a matter of fact, i found it interesting, listening to the chairwoman of the energy committee just this past week when she was excited about this land package because we're clearing all the old land pieces of legislation. so we're taking care of the politicians, but are we taking care of the parks? are we doing what is in the best long-term interest of preserving the pristine, unique aspects of our country as we add ball fields or the old colt manufacturing facility in connecticut. really? a national park? does it meet the requirements as set out in a park? no. i

a group in nevada found that even though elevated co2 increased plant growth it increased the growthf an invasive species that tended to bring wildfire into desert habitats that weren't flammable otherwise. i think that across the community what we're seeing is that the responses to global changes tend to be complicated they tend to be pushing ecosystems in the direction that tends to make them more disturbance-prone and they tend to not be providing the additional carbon storage that we had hoped for when we took the most simpleminded approach to this kind of experiment. narrator: chris field and his many collaborators at the jasper ridge global change experiment are expanding the scope of their research to look deeper into the mechanisms that limit plant growth. in years to come these projects will provide a wealth of information about how ecosystems respond as a whole to human-induced climate change. field: these studies are ongoing. there are a number of details that we're still trying to understand. we think of the jasper ridge global change experiment as something more like a l
