	[Jeanne d'Arc]>> Battle>Crecy
		Crécy was a battle in which an English army of approximately 12,000, commanded by Edward III of England, outnumbered by Philip VI of France's force of between 30,000 and 40,000, was victorious as a direct consequence of superior weaponry and tactics.
		The battle is seen by many historians as the beginning of the end of chivalry, because during the course of the battle many of the prisoners and wounded were dispatched contrary to chivalric codes of warfare, and the illustrious noble cavalry was no longer undefeatable by infantry.
		The prelude to the battle of Crécy is the subject of a poem by the 19th century English poet William Morris, The Eve of Crécy.

	NYSOAG News: New York Petitions EPA To Reduce Acid Rain Damage
		Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner John Cahill opened a new front in New York's ongoing battle against acid rain by filing a petition with the Environmental Protection Agency to establish federal regulations requiring further reductions in air pollution.
		While the Adirondack Mountains of New York are often portrayed as a region suffering especially acute acid rain damage, there is now evidence that acid rain has harmful impacts in such broadly diverse locations as New England, Virginia, Tennessee, California and Colorado.
		A major federal study published in 1996 concluded that without additional reductions in air pollution, the number of acidic lakes in the Adirondacks -- now estimated at 17 percent -- is projected to increase by almost 40 percent by 2040.
