Dr. AMY PADULA ampadula@stanford.edu of Stanford University http://www.stanford.edu/ shows that women who are exposed to traffic-related air pollution during pregnancy tend to have babies with pre term birth. Such exposures in the second trimester are associated with greater likelihood of very early pre term birth. These effects were heightened for women of lower socio economic status. Higher maternal cumulative exposures to criteria air pollutants were associated with increased risk of very early preterm birth.
CUMULATIVE IMPACTS takes into account the environmental contaminants and social stressors that affect individuals and communities.

Reflections on U.S.- Canada Relations"
Allan Gotlieb, Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. 1981-1989
Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes the distinguished Canadian diplomat Allan Gotlieb for a discussion of the U.S.-Canadian relationship. After tracing the essential features of their strategic partnership during the Cold War, Ambassador Gotlieb analyzes the changes in bilateral relations in the wake of 911 and the 2008 economic collapse. In the context of America's focus on homeland security, rising unemployment, and environmental degradation, he examines the impact of domestic politics for any effort to develop a new American and Canadian agenda. He concludes with a discussion of factors contributing to the successful navigation by Canada of the world wide financial crisis.
