Access to safer smoking rooms reduces crack pipe sharing among people who use drugs
This study, conducted in collaboration with the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users and accepted for publication by The International Journal of Drug Policy, reveals that people who had access to safer smoking rooms and crack smoking supplies were less likely to share crack pipes, while smoking crack in unregulated settings such as alleyways increased their exposure to drug scene violence and police.
Summary of research article Abstract
Study findings released recently in The International Journal of Drug Policy reveal the risk of drug overdose among injection drug users increased dramatically on and immediately following the days income assistance cheques are distributed in BC, which is usually the last Wednesday of each month. A new research trial led by UHRI investigators aims to evaluate the impacts of alternative distribution options for social assistance in order to minimize health risks. More...

Media Release Report Backgrounder Summary
Homelessness and a history of childhood sexual abuse place Vancouver street-involved youth at great risk of intravenous injection drug use and potential transmission of HIV and hepatitis C, according to two new studies from researchers at the Urban Health Research Initiative of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS and the University of British Columbia.The landmark studies funded by the US National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research were aimed at identifying why some high-risk youth initiate injection drug use while others do not.Results published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Adolescent Health found that youth who were homeless were almost twice as likely to inject drugs as youth who were not homeless. In a separate study published in the peer-reviewed journal Preventive Medicine, researchers found those reporting childhood sexual abuse were more than 2.5 times as likely to start injecting drugs as those who had no history of such abuse.
In an interview for International Innovation, UHRI co-director Dr. Thomas Kerr explains how he has been working to address the urban health needs in Vancouver. International Innovation is the leading global dissemination resource for the wider scientific, technology and research communities. Click here to read the full text of the interview.
UHRI is pleased to support the work of the Vancouver Rat Project, led by veterinarian Dr. Chelsea Himsworth. The goal of this project is to investigate and reduce the risk to human health posed by the rat population in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Click here to learn more about this important and informative study or here for their latest newsletter.
Recently, the UHRI research team published a study in the medical journal The Lancet (Marshall et al., Reduction in overdose mortality after the opening of North America's first medically supervised safer injecting facility: A retrospective population-based study. Lancet, 2011; 377: 1429-37) that demonstrated a 35% reduction in overdose in proximity to Vancouver's supervised injection site following the program's opening. This study, which underwent extensive scientific peer review, has been criticized in a report commissioned by REAL Women of Canada and the Drug Prevention Network of Canada. The authors of the Lancet study have responded to the criticism (Marshall et al., Overdose deaths and Vancouver's supervised injection facility—Authors' reply. Lancet, 2012; 379: 118-19).
Summary of authors' reply.
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that the doors to Vancouver's supervised injecting facility, Insite, will remain open. Read more here.
A recent study by UHRI researchers published in The Lancet shows a dramatic decline in drug overdose deaths in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside following the opening of Insite, North America's first medically supervised injecting facility.The study shows that in the immediate vicinity of Insite, overdose deaths decreased by 35% after Insite opened in September 2003."This study clearly demonstrates that supervised injection facilities such as Insite are saving lives," said Dr. Julio Montaner. "It's time for the federal government to recognize the overwhelming scientific evidence in support of supervised injection sites, halt its legal manoeuvring to close Insite, and allow facilities such as Insite to open in other Canadian cities."
Media release Summary Abstract
The Urban Health Research Initiative has contributed to the extensive evidence indicating that drug prohibition, especially cannabis prohibition, is a major contributing factor to the growth of organized crime and related violence in British Columbia. To help inform policy makers, we have produced a fact sheet that outlines the key points and evidence on why cannabis prohibition has not reduced cannabis use or availability among young people and how it serves to support the persistent unregulated market that exists only to the benefit of organized crime, fuelling gang-related violence in our province. We join with other leading health and research organizations in recommending a new, evidence-based approach to cannabis policy.

Nothing about Cp3, Amare, Melo compliments each other? Same player in different bodies? Wade and Lebron as perfect compliments to one another?
I'm stunned. Maybe I'm just tired from being up since 7 w my puppy, but...W.T.F.
Cp3 is the ultimate passing facilitator w vision, as well as potent outside shooting and efficiency and defence. Makes everyone better and orchestrates to bring out the best of everyone.
Amare is the ultimate inside force you can feed to, commanding 2x teams, ice games from the inside, but still w a good enough mid range shot to punish, especially if there is a second scorer who can penetrate and wreck some havoc himself.
Melo is the ultimate versatile scorer, who can create a shot at will and ice games from the outside. Command 2x teams.
Jesus, lol. We likely won't get all three but itd be by far the best trio, n best team in the leauge.
If we get one of the two we'll likely be bigtime contenders next year w a couple shrewd moves.
Unreal thread!

It's a perfect day to prepare for the unexpected. That describes the theme of a pilot education campaign to encourage Hawaii residents to fully prepare for large-scale emergencies and disasters, before they happen.
The pilot launched Wednesday following Tsunami Preparedness Month in April.
Hawaii's four county mayors, each with emergency management stories to tell, are rallying to kick off and support the campaign. They agree that the price of an unprepared Hawaii is too high.
Project research confirms that Hawaii residents are no strangers to disaster.
Eighty-nine percent of residents say they have experienced a large-scale disaster, but only 25 percent say they are very prepared. Eighty-two percent of residents also believe that government and community organizations are primarily responsible for their preparedness. Many residents said they were too busy or that they never thought about preparing. Others even admitted to being lazy or resigned to wait until the need arises.
"Many people are not as prepared as they think are. Many others would wait until it is too late to prepare. We've seen lines at gas stations and grocery stores when storms head our way," said Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle, "The goal of this campaign is to determine the best ways to get individuals, families and businesses ready for disasters—before they come."
Carlisle added, "We need to educate our community about what it means to be fully prepared: emergency kits that are complete and sufficient for seven days; a plan that describes what each family member or employee can do during an emergency; and staying informed about emergency situations, including knowing evacuation routes and shelter locations."
Counties, under the leadership of their emergency management programs, work together every day to help residents plan and prepare for catastrophic events such as natural disasters and human-caused disasters, including terrorism. The City and County of Honolulu is leading this project for the counties under the FEMA Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program. Oahu is the site for the pilot campaign to determine what messages and methods of communication are most likely to improve disaster preparedness.
"Hawaii has island-specific disaster preparedness challenges affected by a combination of economic, language and cultural factors. But the state is also blessed with committed organizations that serve vulnerable populations and help in outreach," said Melvin N. Kaku, Honolulu's Director of Emergency Management. "There is no better time than now to prepare."
The campaign includes public service announcements that include a TV spot, several radio spots, print advertising, environmental advertising, point-of-purchase displays at retail locations and a significant online and social media presence.
The pilot campaign is supported by significant in-kind donations from media outlets and retailers, and is supported by Retail Merchants of Hawaii. Throughout the month of May, retailers will promote disaster preparedness through in-store education and product displays that highlight both disaster preparedness supplies and information about what it means to be fully prepared.
For more information about the pilot campaign, or to download a complete media kit, visit www.GetReadyHawaii.org.
Market research, using a statewide telephone survey of more than 1,000 residents is supporting this pilot campaign and the overall project. It measured respondent knowledge and awareness about disaster issues, plans and preparedness. The goal of the research is to help determine the messages and methods of communication that will best increase disaster preparedness.
- Ward Research Inc. conducted a statewide phone survey on disaster preparedness in December 2011, polling 1,087 residents, including 418 on Oahu and about 200 each on Maui, the Big Island and Kauai. The data assessed residents' level of understanding about preparing for large-scale emergencies.
- Variables such as age, ethnicity and income were weighted to more accurately reflect the 2010 Census. The survey has a margin of error of +/- 2.9%.
Disaster Perceptions and Experiences
- Hurricanes are the most common disaster Hawaii residents have experienced (62%), followed by tsunamis and earthquakes (31% each). Eighty-nine percent of residents say they have experienced a large-scale disaster in their lifetime.
- Loss of property is the top concern when it comes to disasters (24%). Only 2% say they are not concerned at all.
- Residents are most confident about the government handling natural disasters like flooding and fires and least confident about the handling of public health disasters.
Disaster Preparedness
- TV is the most common source of disaster preparedness information. More than half of Hawaii residents currently use radio and TV for disaster updates and information on where to go and what to do (64% and 61% respectively).
- Those who are between the ages of 18-34, and lower income residents (<$35,000 household income per year) are less likely to have received preparedness information via traditional media like TV and radio.
- Work/school workshops and the Internet are likely to be effective avenues for 18-34-yr-olds regarding disaster preparedness.
- Most residents (91%) say they are likely to prepare for disasters based on guidelines, but they expect government and community organizations to help them prepare. Only 25% of Hawaii residents say they are "very prepared" for disasters now and 54% say they are "somewhat prepared." Lack of urgency appears to be a common reason for not stocking-up.
- Preparedness generally improves with age -- and experience. For example, kauai residents rate higher in preparedness than folks on Oahu and the Big Island. Still, 3 out of 10 residents say they do not have food/water to last 7 days.
- Lack of urgency is a common reason for not taking action. People say they "didn't think of it," or "plan to stock up when the need arises."
- In relation to stocking up on canned goods, 6% say they do not have the money; 13% do not have the storage space.
People want to be prepared and tend to be less prepared than they think. Many believe that the government is largely responsible for preparing people for disasters. Those who have heard or seen simple, instructive messages are more likely to be prepared. Two population groups should be targeted specifically: those under 35 year of age and those with lower incomes because mainstream media is not as effective with younger adults or economically disadvantaged populations.
The intended outcome of the campaign is to increase public awareness of what it means to be fully prepared for disasters, and to foster greater individual responsibility for emergency preparedness.

Features will include
Streamlined squad control system.
Large selection of ground forces for you to
command and enemies for you to destroy.
Pilotable Mecha.
Many custom models/textures made by myself.
New scripted features like homing missiles
and mecha support systems.
Several new cyberpunk worldspaces.
The world of 2073 AD
Around the year 2015 midwestern militia groups revolt against their
local governments and Occupy protests go violent all across the country in
protest of rampant U.S. adventurism overseas, police and senatorial corruption,
double dip recession, the complete destruction of the internet in the name of
anti piracy and being stripped of liberty and civil rights in the name of
security - in the absence of the National Guard, are able to gain far more
ground than they thought possible. Small insurgent groups pop up in towns and
cities across the country, and a sizable force in the millions, the Free States
Army comes into being and pushes west - bringing about the Second American
Civil War.
The Free States Army, or FSA are less a
geographical entity than "an idea", and that the movement began with
an uprising of secessionist groups that formed a separate government in Montana
before spreading across the country. The Free Armies and the U.S. military
first met in combat at Allentown, Pennsylvania where the FSA won, after which their
ranks swelled and descended on the entire of the east coast. The Federal Governments
planned evacuations went disastrously wrong, but despite that the US Army was
finally able to halt the advance of the Free States forces but only after they
had already captured half the country.
There was even a sense
among troops that the US forces were ready to start reclaiming territory from
and pushing back the Free States Army, until the calamity of Year 5, when a
squad of fatigued US soldiers gunned down nearly 200 peace protesters during
one of the many 'Occupy' protests. With the US robbed of all momentum and
public support for an advance along with the intervention of the UN, the two
sides settled into an uneasy stalemate.
thousand UN dispatched British, French, Canadian and German peacekeeps were
sent in to end the fighting which was followed by a round of sanctions and
embargos. By this point the FSA had already captured roughly half of the United
States. With massive pressure from the UN, an uneasy peace treaty was
signed. Shortly after, the FSA formed its
own government, being recognized world wide as an legitimate entity. At the
same time, the former United States reformed into the New Federal Government,
or NFG.
30 years later. What
at first appeared to be group of asteroids
entering our solar system, soon turned out to be many ancient alien spacecraft
on a collision course. It appeared only a handful of these spacecraft
decelerated before either slamming into our moon, flying past us and back into
space or crashing on earth. Governments from every country on the planet
scrambled to recover the many crash sites in the name of security. There were
no survivors found, only the crashed ships and strange humanoid corpses hundreds
of years old.
This time was seen
as a technological renaissance on earth as many new technologies were created
after re-engineering the alien tech in as little as 10 years. Antigravity
engines, cyberbrains, beam weapons and bio-enegry cells started to be
introduced into many armies at great speed. At this point most of the worlds
leadership chose to invest in a bigger stick then a more stable economy and
national infrastructure.
Soon piloted
robotic fighting vehicles and even space battle cruisers started appearing in
every branch of the worlds armed forces at alarming speeds. This started a
global arms race making the coldwar look like a pick nick. Due to this, the
balance of power worldwide shifted dramatically, with countries now having the
capability to enforce their agendas
through means never before thought possible.
3 years later. In
fear of a possible WW3 due to the global shift in powers, many nations created
massive space stations and colonized Mars, Venus and Earth's moon. At the same
time, In the rush to create the next
super weapon to wipe out the FSA before they could establish an off world
colony and without spending any more federal dollars then needed or being seen
as an 'aggressor' as they were the last decade, the NFG began developing a new
biological weapon, reengineered from organisms of one of the crashed alien ships.
During the weapons testing phase, it appeared to have gained sentience, breeched
the testing labs and escaped somewhere into New Mexico.
Several weeks
after this, strange reports began filtering into the FSA, of ghastly mutations
and monsterus creatures roaming the wilderness. Several months later, 3 billion
people world wide had been killed by this rapidly evolving, out of control bio
weapon - now known as the Blue. The Blue infected humans with spores, resulting
with flue like symptoms. Eventually the infectee would begin to go mad and
start decomposing while also releasing spores into the environment from spore
sacks growing inside the infectees body. These spores would then lay dormant
for up to 3 weeks, while silently infecting humans. Once the hosts body released all the
spores, it would then find a secluded location to hatch
the Blue, using the remains of the body as a food source.
It is at this
point were governments world wide started losing stability, and the majority of
the UN peace keepers within America are sent back to their home countries,
giving both the FSA and the NFG the breathing room to settle an old score. This
ushered in a mass exodus of the worlds elite to the newly built solar colonies
for fears of WW3 and the growing Blue menace. The year is now 2073 and there's
blood on the horizon.
May god have mercy on man and machine for their sins.

Determining the winners was a two-stage process. First, Financial News compiled shortlists of five nominations for each of the 13 categories, considering, where available: recent investment performance, risk-adjusted investment performance over three years, fund flows, reputation among peers, significant hires, innovations and business developments, and any other considerations deemed pertinent. Negative factors, such as a flagship fund being underwater, a bad loss, a regulatory or legal investigation or exposure to a fraud, could result in the exclusion of a potential nominee. Financial News tested its views confidentially with selected contacts in the market, and used this feedback to refine the shortlists.
Then, the shortlists were reviewed by over 40 judges, comprising senior hedge fund managers, funds-of-funds managers, prime brokers, investment consultants, and other advisers to the hedge fund industry.
Each judge, acting independently of the others, gave a mark out of five to each nominee where they felt their knowledge allowed: one for good, five for excellent, based purely on their opinion. Judges could give the same mark to more than one nominee, or give no mark at all if they wished. The judges were barred from voting for themselves.
Once all the judges had returned their scores, the marks were automatically collated to protect anonymity. The average score for each nominee was calculated. The winner in each category was the nominee with the highest average.

PITTSBURGH, PA. -- Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority, has been named to the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) Energy/Air Service Task Force, which will hold its inaugural meeting July 9 in Washington. D.C.
AAAE created the task force to explore approaches that airports can take to address the rapidly changing air service landscape that is occurring because of dramatically higher fuel prices. The task force will work to develop industry consensus recommendations for a national energy policy and a potential national air service policy. More than 70 airport executives representing airports of all sizes from all parts of the country are involved with the task force.
"As fuel prices rise, the aviation industry is undergoing dramatic changes that greatly impact airport operations and communities nationwide," AAAE President Chip Barclay said. "By pulling together airport industry leaders from across the country to participate with this important task force, we intend to shine a light on the magnitude of the challenges and develop policy recommendations that will help airports and the aviation industry weather those challenges."
In addition to establishing the task force, AAAE, supported by 11 co-sponsoring organizations, will hold a one-day Energy/Air Service Summit on July 10 in Washington, D.C. to focus attention on these issues. DOT Secretary Mary Peters, Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND), energy experts, and a broad array of aviation industry and government officials are expected to participate in the summit.

This is an artist's concept of a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting the nearby star Epsilon Eridani. Located 10.5 light-years away, it is the closest known exoplanet to our solar system. The planet is in an elliptical orbit that carries it as close to the star as Earth is from the Sun, and as far from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.
Epsilon Eridandi is a young star, only 800 million years old. It is still surrounded by a disk of dust that extends 20 billion miles from the star. The disk appears as a linear sheet of reflecting dust in this view because it is seen edge-on from the planet's orbit, which is in the same plane as the dust disk.
The planet's rings and satellites are purely hypothetical in this view, but plausible. As a gas giant, the planet is uninhabitable for life as we know it. However, any moons might have conditions suitable for life.
Astronomers determined the planet's mass and orbital tilt in 2006 by using Hubble to measure the unseen planet's gravitational pull on the star as it slowly moved across the sky. Evidence for the planet first appeared in 2000 when astronomers measured a telltale wobble in the star.

I'm not sure where to put this question, so here goes. I have been getting up in the night to pump for quite some time because my twins sleep from 8-4 every night. I try to get up about 1 am. The last few nights however I have been getting up and getting my pump hooked up then I fall asleep and end up pumping for over an hour or more. I got 6.5 ozs last night. I have only ever been able to pump about 4 ozs during that session.
I have always had to supplement my boys with some formula. Right now they are getting one 4 oz bottle of formula a day and the rest is breast milk while at daycare. I nurse them while I am home.
My question is should I be trying to make the boys eat at 1 am instead of pumping? I use that milk as part of the milk they receive at daycare everyday. Up until the last few nights of falling asleep I have only been able to pump about 14-16 ozs between 5 sessions. Now I am able to pump about 20 ozs.
On the weekends when I am home with them, I let them nurse on demand and I still end up having to supplement with at least 1 4 oz bottle.

Carry inside your carry-on. Use the Small Aviator Kit Bag as your "extra" carry-on or personal item when traveling. It folds flat while tucked inside your primary travel bag when heading out on vacation. After you've found all the trinkets and treasures to bring home for gfits and souvenirs, just stuff them in and you can carry this kit bag as your personal item on your flight home.
Dozens of other multi-use uses. Think:
The Aviator Kit line of storage and carry gear bags were developed for the budget minded. Featuring the same sturdy materials like 1000 weight CORDURA® Brand Nylon fabric and heavy-duty hardware as our regular Red Oxx bags, the Aviators are simplicity by design. They don't have a shoulder strap or the D-ring attachments because the "break-over" zip open design does not condone itself with using a strap. Nor do they have any pockets or padding. Just a good-old basic hand carry bag to serve basic simple needs without the extravagance. Pack them with a set of Red Oxx Packing Cubes and you'll have no need for pockets.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can find, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Just under two feet long, this rectangular bag stands at eight inches wide and nearly a foot tall. The 3/4 wraparound break over #10 YKK heavy-duty zipper configuration opens up the bag nearly flat. Enveloping 1.5 inch wide webbing handle wraps all the way around the bottom of the bag. Webbing is also double box stitched at all stress points. Rugged, reliable and tough.
The Red Oxx Small Aviator Kit Bag, built to the same heavy-duty exacting standards as all our bags. Available in Black only.
Dimensions: 22"L x 8"W x 11"H (Legal carry-on).

What's missing from this week's Economist cover?
Microsoft! Ouch.
This is just the latest slap in the face for Microsoft, which despite its best effort to crack search with Bing and the tablet market with the Surface, is not seen as a major player in tech or the Internet.
This isn't the first time Microsoft was dissed like this. In October, Google chairman Eric Schmidt said Microsoft wasn't really a player any more because, "They're a well-run company, but they haven't been able to bring state-of-the-art products into the fields we're talking about."

My Job Chart is a free, online, customizable chore chart system that is revolutionizing the way parents run their homes. By combining cutting-edge technology and opportunities for positive reinforcement, children are motivated by the unique, interactive program to do their chores and better grasp the value of the dollar. The system is one of the most effective tools in teaching children how to save, share with worthwhile charities and spend on things they need and want.
My kids want "monies" all of the time. We typically give all of our coins to the kids and they sit on the floor taking turns putting the coins into their piggy banks. But as they are getting older, they are starting to ask questions about money and my 5.5 year old wants to buy "stuff" herself. They all have chores they do (well, maybe not quite my 20 month old!) and I'm ok with giving them some allowance for helping out, but especially with the oldest, I want her to help keep track. I want them to have their beloved "monies" but I also want them to understand that they have to earn their money and how to keep track of it.
We don't have wall space for a traditional job chart. That, and I'm not sure the idea of something on the wall you put stickers or markers or crayons on is the best idea with 3 little kids close in age. Something just tells me there would be sticker or markers all over my walls…
Signing up for and using My Job Chart is REALLY simple and really quick. Sign up as the parent with your name and email, opt to get email or SMS notifications (or not) and then start adding family members. Adding and changing jobs and the point value of each job takes no time at all, and there's a fairly long list of jobs already in the database to select from, although you can choose to add your own job. There are even ways to add "extra" jobs- and you can send messages back and forth to your child as you use the program – to ask a question or send some encouragement or praise.
There are family rewards (which I love- save up points and have a special mommy-daughter movie date or something) and retail rewards (through Amazon). I think the retail rewards will work better as children get into grade school- at this point my kindergartener is so happy to have special things with mom or dad that we don't even need the retail component although I certainly can see in 2-3 years that will definitely be an extra incentive.
With technology everywhere around us, kids are definitely curious about the internet and computers, and I'm OK with my 5 year old trying a site like this. I'm always in the room with her when she is doing something on the computer or my ipod but I can promise you sending her a message through My Job Chart will make her whole day. That's like mail, and just for HER! Aside from the messaging, I do like this website- she's learning a bit more about responsibility and by tracking her chores on her own, it won't be such a surprise on Saturday when she gets her allowance (or not).

Whether you are buying a holiday gift … or you need a new appliance … you're often urged to buy a service plan. Even online, many sites offer an "extended protection plan" before you check out. But Consumer Reports' Tony Giorgianni says service plans are almost never worth it. "Our reader survey shows that products don't break down that much during the service contract period. And even if they do, it doesn't cost that much more to repair them than it does for the contract itself." Extended service plans are expensive. They can boost your costs by 30 percent or more and run into hundreds of dollars. Tony Giorgianni "If you pay for a repair yourself, there's a better chance that it's going to be done correctly and quicker than if you had it repaired under contract." That's what Allen Peacock found when his dryer broke. He was told he'd have to wait three weeks to have it repaired under the service contract. Allen Peacock "I expected prompt service. And instead was told kinda you're out of luck, fella." Consumer Reports says better than buying a service plan is paying with a credit card. Many cards automatically extend the manufacturer's warranty up to a year, so check your terms. Calling the manufacturer can pay off, too. Tony Giorgianni "Just because the manufacturer's warranty has expired doesn't necessarily mean that you're out of luck. If you contact the manufacturer and make a good argument, there's a good chance the company will pay for part or all of the repair." ."

Egyptian women cut their hair to protest against the Islamist-oriented constitution during a demonstration in Tahrir Square, Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2012.
Morsi's leftist, liberal, secularist and Christian opponents had taken to the streets to block what they argued was a move to ram through a charter that would dangerously mix politics and religion.
The president argues that the new constitution offers sufficient protection for minorities, and adopting it quickly is necessary to end two years of turmoil and political uncertainty that has wrecked the economy.
Hours before the vote result was announced, the authorities imposed a new ban on travelling in or out of the country with more than $10,000 in foreign currency, a move apparently intended to halt capital flight.
Some Egyptians have begun withdrawing their savings from banks in fear of tougher restrictions.
The "yes" vote paves the way for a parliamentary election in about two months, setting the stage for yet another electoral battle between surging Islamists and their fractious liberal and leftist opponents.
The final result, announced by the election commission, matched — to the last decimal place — an earlier unofficial tally announced by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.
The constitution was drawn up by a body largely made up of Morsi's Islamist allies. The results announcement was a disappointment for the opposition which had put pressure on the authorities to recount the result to reflect what they have described as major vote violations.
"We have seriously investigated all the complaints," judge Samir Abu el-Matti of the Supreme Election Committee told a news conference. The final official turnout was 32.9 percent.

An Egyptian election worker shows his colleagues an invalid ballot while counting ballots at the end of the second round of a referendum on a disputed constitution in this Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012 file photo.
Cairo, gripped by often violent protests in the run-up to the vote, appeared calm after the announcement and opposition groups have announced no plans for demonstrations to mark the result.
"The results was so odd and no change in the percentage points shows that nothing was done to take our complaints into account," Khaled Dawood, an opposition spokesman, said.
The referendum, held on December 15 and on December 22, has sown deep divisions in the Arab world's most populous nation but Morsi says enacting the new constitution quickly will bring stability and a chance to focus on fixing the economy.
A growing sense of crisis has gripped Egypt's polarized society for weeks. Standard and Poor's cut Egypt's long-term credit rating on Monday.
Hours ahead of the results announcement, Prime Minister Hisham Kandil told the nation of 83 million the government was committed to taking steps to heal the economy.
"The main goals that the government is working towards now is plugging the budget deficit, and working on increasing growth to boost employment rates, curb inflation, and increase the competitiveness of Egyptian exports," he said.
Crisis mode
The central bank said on Monday it would take steps to "safeguard" bank deposits, without giving any details. Rumors are rife of what sort of measures are planned.
"I have been hearing that the central bank is going to take over all our bank deposits to pay wages for government employees given the current deteriorating economic situation," said Ayman Osama, father of two young children.
He said he had taken out the equivalent of about $16,000 from his account this week and planned to withdraw more, adding that he had also told his wife to buy more gold jewellery.
"I am not going to put any more money in the bank and neither will many of the people I know," he said.
The referendum is the Islamists' third electoral victory since the fall of Mubarak, following parliamentary and presidential elections, representing a decisive shift in a country at the heart of the Arab world, where Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood was suppressed for generations by military rulers.
However, secularist and liberal opposition members hope they can organize better in time for the next parliamentary vote.
The opposition says the constitution fails to guarantee personal freedoms and rights for women and minorities. The government says the criticism is misplaced.
Hossam El-Din Ali, a 35-year-old newspaper vendor in central Cairo, said he agreed the new constitution would help bring some political stability but like many others he feared the possible economic austerity measures lying ahead.
"People don't want higher prices. People are upset about this," he said. "There is recession, things are not moving. But I am wishing for the best, God willing."

The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- Howie Roseman worked a long time to become the youngest general manager in the NFL.
As a kid -- yes, the story goes back that far -- Roseman would toss a football around in his backyard and wait for his friends to return from practice to play pickup games. He hoped to become an NFL quarterback, maybe even the next Richard Todd or Ken O'Brien.
But he couldn't even play pee wee football. His mom wouldn't sign the permission slip.
That didn't dampen Roseman's feelings. His love for football went beyond passion. By the time he was 7, he was obsessed.
"From the first game I watched, Jets vs. Bills in 1981, I was incredibly hooked," Roseman said in an interview during which he recalled his career from his expansive office overlooking the field at the Philadelphia Eagles' practice facility.
If nothing else, Roseman's life in the NFL offers a lesson in persistence.
He began reading football magazines, watching games, following all the players and taking notes as a kid. Born in Brooklyn and raised in North Jersey, his favorite team was the New York Jets.
On a plane ride with his mother and sister to visit his grandparents in Florida, young Howie had a chance encounter with Jack Elway. He impressed the Stanford coach and John Elway's dad with his vast knowledge of football. When the plane landed, Elway gave Roseman's mother a business card.
Roseman wasn't blessed with the size or skill to play football -- he's 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, though he wrestled at 125 in high school. But his conversation with Jack Elway made him realize he could still pursue a career in the NFL.
"From that meeting on, I knew I wanted to be a GM in the National Football League," he said. "I would tell people, and they would laugh at me."
Roseman not only grew up to fulfill his dream, he did it at a young age. Roseman was only 34 when Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie named him general manager on Jan. 29, 2010. Three years later, he's still the youngest person in the league to hold that title.
With free agency set to begin in the NFL next week, Roseman is in the middle of a critical offseason for the Eagles. The team finished 4-12 and fired coach Andy Reid after 14 mostly successful years in Philadelphia. Roseman played a key role in luring Chip Kelly away from Oregon to replace Reid. He also made other moves to bolster the front office, including hiring Tom Gamble as vice president of player personnel.
Despite tremendous success for much of the past decade, the Eagles are desperately seeking their first Super Bowl title. Roseman gladly accepts that challenge. With Lurie's support, he's determined to bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy home to a city starving for an NFL championship.
"Everyone here is committed to winning the Super Bowl," Roseman said. "That's powerful when everyone is united for the same goal and it's all about teamwork."
Considering the tenacity Roseman has already shown in his career, you have to think his team has an honest chance. On his way up, he simply wouldn't take "No" for an answer, regardless how many times he was rejected along the way.
Roseman was in elementary school when he started evaluating players and making draft predictions. Other kids watched cartoons; he was a draft geek.
"I'd have my draft board and I would sit there with a note pad and pretend I was picking for the Jets," he said.
During his senior year at Marlboro High School in New Jersey, Roseman began sending letters to NFL teams. He applied for a job with the football program when he went to Florida and continued sending letters to teams twice a year.
All he got were rejections.
Finally, during his senior year at Florida, former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum called him and offered some advice. Tannenbaum told Roseman no team would hire him as a scout. He advised him to get a law degree and sell himself as a salary cap expert.
So, Roseman went to Fordham Law School and continued his pursuit only to get more rejections.
"I would've worked anywhere," he said. "I just wanted an opportunity, a summer internship. I would've worked for free."
By now, though, Roseman wasn't just sending letters to teams. He sent his own scouting reports and individual breakdowns of players by position.
Roseman was considering applying for a job with the XFL when he got his first break. Tannenbaum had become the director of pro personnel for the Jets and he called to interview him for an internship.
"He said: 'Every three resumes, I see a copy of yours. And then after it, I see letters from you thanking me for rejecting you,"' Roseman said.
Roseman didn't get that job, but Tannenbaum told him he'd recommend him if another team had an opening.
Hoping to stay close to New York, Roseman began calling the Eagles and he finally convinced Joe Banner's assistant to get him an interview.
He eventually landed a non-paid summer internship in 2000. The Eagles were still in dingy, old Veterans Stadium then and Roseman's desk was at the end of the assistant's table.
Roseman spent the next six months waking up at 4:15 a.m. to catch a train from New York to Philadelphia. He'd arrive at the office at 7:30 a.m. and get home late at night. Instead of paying off his student loans, he was accumulating more debt paying for those expensive train rides.
"I was pursuing my dream," he said. "I was in the NFL. No matter how tired I was, when I walked up to the Vet and saw where I was going to work every day, I was fired up, I was energetic and I do the same now."
Roseman would spend long hours in the office during the day and join the guys in the personnel department afterward. He was fortunate that Lurie, Banner and Reid allowed him to learn whatever he could about scouting and evaluating players.
"They would open the door to me and let me watch tape and write reports, so I was doing the cap stuff and contract stuff during the day and then at night they would expose me to personnel, which was my passion and what I wanted to do," Roseman said.
Roseman's hard work and diligence paid off. In 2003, he was promoted to director of football administration.
"I started doing draft reports and going on the road," he said. "It was an unbelievable experience and I'm very fortunate the people here exposed me to it."
He didn't stop there. In 2006, Roseman was named vice president of football administration. Two years later, he was elevated to vice president of player personnel. Then, after Tom Heckert left for Cleveland in 2010, Roseman replaced him as the Eagles' GM. With Banner and Reid around, it was more of an advisory role. Now, it's Roseman's show.
"When you have a goal and you decide early enough that you want to achieve it, you are so far ahead of the pack because so many people when they are going through college, they're trying to figure out what they're doing," Roseman said.
All he has to do now is win a Super Bowl.

Don't scrimp on money for programs that protect older Ohioans
Older Ohioans know enough to recognize a useless government feel-good program when they see it. Let us hope Buckeye State residents of all ages realize the state needs to do more than provide token funding to curb abuse of the elderly.
Reports that elderly people are being abused have increased dramatically. They are up by about 60 percent during the past 20 years.
A total of 14,646 complaints about abuse, neglect or exploitation of older people were received statewide during the year that ended last June 30.
About half those reports involved "self-neglect," a category taking in a variety of problems some elderly people have taking care of themselves. That can be as great a threat to their safety as if someone else was abusing or neglecting them.
Adult protective services in the state are handled by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. But that agency's resources are limited.
Under the current budget, the state provides counties just $500,000 a year for programs to safeguard the elderly. More than half the counties receive less than $3,000 a year.
That does not go far. That level of funding, like so many government programs, seems more like an effort to make people feel good about what the state is doing than a genuine recognition of the problem.
Advocates of a plan to increase state funding to $10 million point out it would be the largest amount Ohio ever has put into adult protective services. But even that works out to less than $6 for each of the state's 1,712,480 residents 65 years of age or older.
It has been suggested legislators should increase funding even more, to $20 million. That certainly is a lot of money. Providing it would require cuts elsewhere in the budget.
But one of the most important things a society does is take care of those unable to safeguard themselves. Abused, neglected and exploited older Ohioans often fall into that category. Legislators and Gov. John Kasich should increase the funding to $20 million.

text: I wasn't too sure where to post so here I am. I have a 7 month dd that is exclusively bf and a 25 month ds who got formula in the very beginning (NICU) and at the end (milk supply issues). Since dd has been born ds wants to nurse every so often, I have no problems with it as I had wanted to bf until 3 years with him and would like to do the same with dd. When he does nurse during the day, he doesn't really nurse very well. He will crawl into my lap, pat my breast and tell me he wants "mommy juice". I offer him my breast and he will suck a few sec, get a letdown started and get down, leaving me leaking. At night I sleep topless so that dd can latch on whenever she gets hungry (we cosleep) and sometimes I wake up with her on the breast closer to her and him coming over my side on the other. When that happens he is asleep and actually nurses through a let down. I want to encourage him to continue nursing but don't know what to do about during the day when he wants to nurse then stops. How do I get him to nurse like he does at night? Also, I don't have that great of a supply. It isn't low or anything, when dd is with me she is always content after a feeding but I can't pump enough for her bottles at school and mix some of my sister's ebm (her dd is 7 weeks younger than mine and she gushes milk). Is there some way I can get supply to where I can nurse both dd and ds without ds taking too much milk away from dd? I know that there are several things in here, I hope it isn't too garbled and makes sense!

Political Science
Introducing our newest colleagues - Jörg Broschek and John Grundy
Mar 27/13
Jörg Broschek will join the department on July 1, 2013, as a CRC Tier II
chair in federalism and globalization. Jörg holds a PhD in political science
from the University of Augsburg in Germany and has most recently been Assistant
Professor in the Institute of Political Science at the Technical University of
Darmstadt, also in Germany.
Relocating to Canada with his family obviously has been a big decision for Jörg, but it is certainly not a step into unknown territory since he recently published a 389pp. monograph on Canadian federalism. He also has already cooperated with another member of our department, Thomas O. Hueglin, who contributed a chapter to a book on dynamics and change in federal systems co-edited by Jörg and the director of the Darmstadt Institute, Arthur Benz.
Jörg comes to us with an already very impressive pedigree of academic excellence. Apart from the two books already mentioned, he has published eight articles in refereed journals and eleven book chapters. He also brings to the department a new methodological approach, historical institutionalism, which seeks to analyse and explain the development and stability or instability of political institutions as a combination of path-dependent continuity and interruptive critical junctures.
John Grundy joined the Department of Political Science this past fall as a
SSHRC Postdoctoral Researcher working with Rianne Mahon. John defended his PhD
with distinction last fall, in Political Science at York University. His areas
of expertise are Canadian politics, public administration and social and labour
market policy. His dissertation, which he is currently turning into a book, uses
a governmentality lens to explore the delivery of Canadian employment services
for the unemployed. John is also involved in collaborative work with researchers
and community legal workers on a study of the enforcement of employment
standards for Ontarians in precarious jobs. He is also working on a co-authored
paper exploring options for strengthening employment standards, to be presented
at the International Labour Organization's "Regulating for Decent Work"
Conference in Geneva.
John enjoyed his first year in the Department of Political Science and looks forward to the upcoming academic year. He really appreciates the Department's openness to a diversity of approaches to studying politics and the remarkable collegiately among the faculty, administrators and students, which made his transition to postdoctoral studies a pleasure. He looks forward to meeting more researchers in the broader WLU and BISA community.

The PMA Store is open during regular museum hours.
Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Thursday and Friday: 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Leadership Circles are at the core of the PMA, and therefore reward members with the highest level of benefits. To be a member of a Leadership Circle is to truly be a part of the museum—everything the PMA does is a direct result of the support and commitment of the Leadership Circles' membership. It's no surprise then, that members get unprecedented access, opportunities, and benefits to further their own appreciation and education in the arts. From private exhibition tours, exclusive social gatherings, and first looks at new acquisitions to expert-guided trips and private dinners with the Director, the PMA reveres its Leadership Circles—and the benefits are extraordinary.
Named for the year the PMA was founded as the Portland Society of Art, the 1882 Circle is a group of donors who contribute $10,000 or more to the museum's annual operating budget. Members in this group stand alone as leaders in the PMA family, and enjoy opportunities for special programs and travel, in addition to unique access to collections and staff.more
Director's Circle members care deeply about the museum, its mission, and the greater arts community in Maine. As one of the premier levels of membership, members believe strongly in the positive role the arts play in our society, and have a vested interest in the museum's success.more
The Contemporaries are a vibrant group of art enthusiasts at the forefront of PMA's future. Members look for new ways to engage the arts, and use their skills and experience as influencers to build a better community—working together to create something extraordinary.more

Workers in the shadowsSeptember 02,2013For many Americans, Labor Day barbecues and picnics mark a nostalgic end to summer. Its also a time to celebrate work and the people who do the work and the people who want to work but cant find jobs. This year, we remember especially that too many people labor in the shadows of our economy without access to the rights and protections that everyone deserves.
Over 11 million aspiring Americans attend school, work on our farms and in our neighborhoods, raise families, own homes and dream of a better life. But their dreams will never be realized with the threat of deportation hanging over their heads and a path to citizenship so far out of reach.
While these immigrant workers struggle to become part of a country that benefits from their labor but doesnt protect their rights, unscrupulous employers abuse the system by exploiting workers with little to no protections and pay them less. This vicious cycle, in turn, lowers wages and working conditions for all American workers and makes it harder for businesses that play by the rules.
No one can deny that our current immigration system is broken, or that it depresses living standards for all workers. Across the country this Labor Day, people are calling for immigration reform that truly protects the rights of all workers.
At the beginning of August, 41 national leaders representing a broad coalition of advocates who support worker protections that include a road map to citizenship were arrested in a civil disobedience action just outside the offices of members of the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C.
In California, hundreds of cars caravanned to Bakersfield for a rally in the heart of House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthys district.
Right here in Vermont, migrant workers and their supporters are rallying against the ongoing deportations.
The message is loud and clear: If members of Congress continue to obstruct a vote on immigration reform, they will have to answer to a growing majority of Americans who support citizenship as part of comprehensive immigration reform.
We saw this majority reflected in the diversity of faces that spoke up to ensure that a vote on comprehensive immigration reform was successful in the Senate: faith leaders, conservatives and business owners took action together with immigrant rights groups, community organizations, working families and labor and civil rights leaders.
The immigration legislation that passed with a solid, bipartisan majority in the Senate while far from perfect lays out a reasonable roadmap to citizenship for aspiring Americans, lifts up workplace standards and rights for all Americans, and strengthens border protections. This would boost the U.S. economy.
According to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, modernizing our immigration system so that it is safer, more orderly, and more humane would grow our economy and reduce the deficit by almost a trillion dollars over two decades.
The CBO also reports that a set of reforms that include an earned path to citizenship would create 732 new jobs in Vermont and increase our economic output by $51 million in just one year.
Passing comprehensive immigration reform with strong worker protections, including a path to citizenship, is the economically and morally right thing to do.
Unfortunately, some Republicans, like Iowa Congressman Steve King, have been very vocal about why they dont want a vote on comprehensive immigration reform. According to King, the millions of young women and men who call the U.S. their home and are American in every way except on paper are actually drug mules with calves the size of cantaloupes. Will the Republican majority in Congress really allow bigots who alienate the significant Latino electorate to speak for their party on the pivotal issue of immigration?
Rep. Peter Welch was elected to do whats best for our state and our country. That includes taking a stance in favor of fixing our broken immigration system and ensuring that we no longer have millions of people working in the shadows and that Labor Day celebrates all people who work. We are confident that Welch will fight hard for the right thing. Our country is watching and the millions who have mobilized will continue to ramp up action until a path to citizenship is fully realized.

July 17, 2013 —
Politicians and emergency workers gathered at the Sullivan County 911 Center on July 10 to sound the alarm about Voice Link, a wireless product being offered to some customers of Verizon. Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther led the charge against Voice Link, and pointed out that it does not work with fax machines, credit card processing devices, medical alert systems and high speed Internet service.
A statement on the Verizon website from Tom Maguire, a senior vice president of the company, says "Outside of a few areas where Sandy destroyed the copper, we will not offer Voice Link to any customer who has existing DSL services or any sort of electronic medical or legal monitoring."
But Gunther sees it differently. She said, "At the end of the day, this is about Verizon abandoning its landline telephone network in favor of wireless." She added, "Time and time again, wireless companies like Verizon have shown that they are not interested in investing in the infrastructure necessary to create reliable wireless service in Sullivan County."
Verizon has been granted temporary permission by the Public Service Commission (PSC) to install Voice Link technology on a portion of Fire Island this summer rather than rebuild the copper-wire network that was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, and that has prompted protests by some consumers there.
The matter has also prompted attorney general Eric Schniederman to file a statement with the PSC that says, "The commission should not jettison wireline service merely because Verizon business strategy prefers a wireless business plan. Many incumbent local exchange providers continue to provide wireline telephone service to customers both in New York and across the nation. The commission should instead require that Verizon divest those portions of its New York franchise where it is no longer willing to provide wireline service and replace Verizon with another carrier."
The Maguire statement says, "Where Sandy wiped out our facilities, there was no wired home phone service of any kind after the storm and we carefully considered the options that would be most effective in meeting consumers' immediate needs, as well as the long-term needs of the island."
In a separate petition filed on June 27, Schniederman wrote that Verizon had shipped a large amount of Voice Link technology to Monticello and was instructing its technicians, when called on to repair a phone, not to repair the old system but instead to install Voice Link. Schneiderman wrote, "Only where a customer forcefully refuses Voice Link will Verizon repair the wire line service."
In an affidavit, a Monticello resident said that Verizon representatives repeatedly tried to convince him to switch to Voice Link rather than restoring his existing phone service.
The Maguire statement said, "Overall, our copper network provides excellent service to customers, but for voice-only customers experiencing chronic problems on that network, Voice Link is an excellent option for them. Where they declined the Voice Link option, Verizon repaired their copper service."
Schniederman also wrote that offering the Voice Link outside of Fire Island was illegal.
At the press conference with Gunther, Pete Sikora, the New York State legislative director for Communications Workers of America (CWA), said, "Verizon currently wants to abandon its landline service in areas where it does not offer its fiber optic lines," such as in Sullivan County and other areas of the Catskills. The biggest problem with this, he said, is a public safety issue, because when cell phones go down, as happened in Hurricane Sandy, landlines still often work and allow people to communicate with each other.
Sikora also said that Verizon could save a great deal of money if it no longer needed to employ technicians to maintain the landlines in rural areas.

Comments about skin purifying wipes:
I have tried just about anything when out and about and my skin gets super oily…. I have blotted with paper towels (Yep thats a thing). But that just irritated my skin and caused redness and more oil. I stumbled upon these… I got to test them out in store :) Just wipe and BAM you feel some tingling but in a good clean way… It smells nice, and most importantly it super cleans my skin and removes excess oil without irritation! YAY
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
I love this product. My skin doesn't breakout much but when it does I use these wipes. They really help. Also remove makeup gently too so that's a plus.
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
I use them every time after I workout. Cleans great but without residue.
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
These wipes are the best product to wipe away excess oil from my T-zone throughout the day.
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
Absolutely love these thru out my day. I have very oily skin and I constantly need refreshed during the work day.
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
feels as if it really cleans my skin. i am sure that it does a similar job as just face wash, but simple after the gym
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
However, always make sure to have a tissue to wipe off remaining residue. It feels like there's too much product on each wipe.
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
At school work, trips, if you suffer from oiliness this works beautifully
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
i didnt really know about this product, id of much rather it be a toning spray rather than wipes as i think we would get more use out of spray..
overall though an amazing product, i like these because you can wipe over if feeling abit oily and have a treatment left on your skin and you can feel it working!
i use these wipes and the clear start toner in turn :)
Comments about skin purifying wipes:
I am a big fan of Dermalogica and use many of their products -- this is the first product I was really disappointed with. I bought it to bring to the gym and use after a workout, but the smell is just too repulsive. Smells sour, like something spoiled. I found myself going immediately to a sink and scrubbing the smell off my face. If you are looking for a convenient wipe, check out their "pre cleanse wipes." Still does the trick without the smell!

Modern Homettes host June meeting
The Modern Homettes CEOS had its monthly meeting on June 6 at the home of Mary Stump. Patty Brake served as the co-hostess.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by all. Shelia Thomason, the vice president, gave the meditations titled "Today We Will Learn Something." The minutes were read and placed on file. The treasurer's report was given and placed on file for a later audit.
President Lucy Mullins thanked the members for helping and attending the parade on May 11. She also thanked those who worked with the West Virginia Strawberry Festival events sponsored by the CEOS members.
The strawberry basket auction winners were Teter CEOS, first place; Pringle Tree CEOS, second place; and Sunset Heights CEOS, third place. The auction made $200. The Modern Homettes CEOS club thanks Del. Bill Hamilton for purchasing its basket. Mullins reported that the Weston CEOS clubs invited Donna Bennett, Debbie Quick, Lucy and Stanley Mullins to their annual salad luncheon on May 20.
Learn-N-Return for June 3 was canceled. The Nominating and Executive Board meeting was postponed. Eloise Tenney hostetd the international student, Ye-Tao from Vietnam, from July 5-6 with a picnic at the Brushy Fork Community Building. Each person was to bring a covered dish. A special thanks goes to Shirley Clevenger for hosting the student.
The lesson was taught by Ethel Andrews on Vietnam. She presented a very informative lesson. Since Upshur County will host a student from Vietnam, she presented many important facts about her country.
The next meeting will be at Lucy and Stanley Mullins' residence. Members attending this meeting were Shirley Spreaker, Mary Stump, Ethel Andrews, Patty Brake, Cindy Phillips, Shelia Thomason and Lucy Mullins.
