        Trump Tweets, Puerto Rico Still Waiting</a><br>
    </b>The Atlantic:<br>
    Five days after Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico, its
    devastating impact is becoming clearer. Most of the U.S. territory
    currently has no electricity or running water, fewer than 250 of the
    island's 1,600 cellphone towers are operational, and damaged ports,
    roads, and airports are slowing the arrival and transport of aid.
    Communication has been severely limited and some remote towns are
    only now being contacted. Jenniffer Gonzalez, the Resident
    Commissioner of Puerto Rico, told the Associated Press that
    Hurricane Maria has set the island back decades.<br>

        every American needs to know about Puerto Rico's hurricane
        disaster</a><br>
    </b>9 essential things to know about Puerto Rico's humanitarian
    crisis.<br>
    Early on Wednesday, September 20, Hurricane Maria, a powerful
    Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds, made direct landfall on
    Puerto Rico, bisecting the entire island and drenching it with feet
    of rain. What's happened since has been catastrophic for Puerto
    Rico.<br>
    There's still no power on the island, with the exception of a few
    generators powering only the highest-priority buildings like
    hospitals. That means in many places there's no water to drink or
    bathe in or to flush toilets. There's limited food, fuel, and cell
    service, and it's taken several days for reporters and rescue
    workers to reach remote towns and villages.<br>
    "Make no mistake - this is a humanitarian disaster involving 3.4
    million US citizens," Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello' said
    Monday.<b><br>
      1) 3.4 million US citizens live in Puerto Rico, and they are
      entitled to the same government response as any state. But half of
      Americans don't even know that.<br>
      2) Hurricane Maria was like a 50-mile-wide tornado that made a
      direct hit on the island<br>
      3) Water, food, and fuel are scarce on the island. The airports
      are a mess. Power will be out for months in some places.<br>
      4) Puerto Rico's economy is in shambles, and the storm will make
      it worse<br>
      5) Experts believe the death toll could reach into the hundreds<br>
      6) The US government is responding to the disaster, but it's going
      slow<br>
      7) Trump could be doing much more to help<br>
      8) Other Caribbean islands are hurting too<br>
      9) You can help<br>
    </b>It's easy to feel overwhelmed and numb in the face of such
    destruction. In fact, it's a frustrating psychological tendency
    inside all of us: When the number of victims in a disaster rises,
    our compassion doesn't always rise with it. But remember, "even
    partial solutions can save whole lives," as psychologist Paul Slovic
    has said.<br>
    Here's how you can help, at least in part. My colleagues Dylan Scott
    and Ella Nilsen have complied this list of charities accepting
    donations to help Puerto Rico.<br>

    Mountains typically brimming with trees and other vegetation are
    brown and desolate, stripped of all greenery. The mayor of 17 years
    said he discovered a river he never knew existed in his town,
    because it was always overgrown with plants. Curved bamboo lining
    the winding roads were left as bare sticks.<br>

        servants complain Trump is sidelining workers with expertise on
        climate change, environment</a><br>
    </b>Interior Department manager Joel Clement figured his new bosses
    in the Trump administration might disapprove of his
    climate-change-focused work protecting Alaskan villages from rising
    seas...<br>
    But the reassignment slip Clement received in June stunned him. He
    was not only removed from his post as director of policy analysis,
    he was deposited into a new job auditing fossil fuel company leases.<b><br>
    </b>Approximately 50 such slips went out to the department's most
    experienced and highly paid managers. Other recipients interviewed
    were just as puzzled as Clement. It seemed to them that they were
    getting moved for the sake of getting moved — often to jobs
    unrelated to their skills...<br>
    "I've talked to a lot of folks who have been around the federal
    government for decades and they say transitions can be tough, but
    what this group is doing is remarkable," said Clement, who filed a
    whistler-blower complaint over the reassignment. "They have moved me
    into an area I know nothing about. It might as well be Chinese."
    Clement's old job has yet to be filled. The Alaskan villages he has
    advocated for, he said, are on the verge of getting washed away.<br>
    Clement said the department's effort to train him for a job for
    which he has no background or aptitude is coming at considerable
    taxpayer expense. The process will take weeks and involve travel out
    west. Clement is frustrated, and he said the whole process has
    placed unnecessary stress on the government employees tasked with
    retraining him.<br>
    The effort Clement was previously spearheading — to coordinate
    interagency aid to help relocate residents in imperiled Alaskan
    villages - has largely stalled, he said.<br>
    "They are on the brink of becoming refugees," he said. "This is work
    we need to do. This is not just bad governance, it is morally
    dangerous."<br>

        denied for Longview coal terminal project</a><br>
    </b>LONGVIEW, WASH. - The Washington Department of Ecology has
    denied a water quality permit sought by Millennium Bulk Terminals to
    construct and operate the largest coal export terminal in North
    America.<br>
    Ecology denied the permit because the coal export terminal near
    Longview would have caused significant and unavoidable harm to nine
    environmental areas: air quality, vehicle traffic, vessel traffic,
    rail capacity, rail safety, noise pollution, social and community
    resources, cultural resources, and tribal resources.<br>
    "After extensive study and deliberation, I am denying Millennium's
    proposed coal export project," said Ecology Director Maia Bellon.
    "There are simply too many unavoidable and negative environmental
    impacts for the project to move forward."<br>
    Some of the environmental impacts from building the coal terminal
    would have included:<br>
    - filling 24 acres of wetlands, <br>
    - dredging 41.5 acres of the Columbia riverbed, <br>
    - installing 537 pilings in the river for a new trestle and docks.<br>
    This complex project, if built, would have moved 44 million metric
    tons of coal annually. Coal would have been piled eight stories high
    and 50 football fields wide at the site.<br>
    To carry coal overseas, 1,680 new vessel transits would have been
    added to the Columbia River, accounting for a quarter of all traffic
    on the river.<br>
    To carry coal to the terminal, 16 slow-moving, 1.3-mile-long trains
    would have passed through Cowlitz County daily. This would have
    compounded already significant traffic congestion during peak
    commute times and affected emergency responders.<br>
    Eight of those 16 trains would have been fully loaded with coal
    traveling west along the Columbia River and would have delayed
    tribes' access to fishing sites above Bonneville Dam.<br>
    The coal terminal also would have increased diesel pollution, a
    toxic air pollutant, and caused an unavoidable increase in cancer
    risk rates in a neighborhood along the rail line in Longview.<br>
