PENNSYLVANIA I. Background: Pennsylvania's sodomy law was overturned in 1980 by the state Supreme Court. The state of Pennsylvania currently boasts a total of three openly LGBT state officials, two of which were appointed. In addition to this good news, the state also has a bill pending that would increase penalties for hate crimes motivated by homophobia. However, once you come in contact with the State Board of Education and mention equity for the state's LGBT students, communication tends to get a bit terse. It's not so much what is said but the sharp one-sentence answers that tend to give away the respondent's negative attitude...

TEMPLE TO LEAD PENNSYLVANIA CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN LUNG DISEASE RESEARCH Two-part project will examine risk factors for lung disease and test low-cost intervention Although miles apart geographically, Pennsylvania's urban African-American and rural residents share something in common - more severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that often requires hospitalization. To determine why these two groups might be at greater risk for advanced COPD and to test a potential low-cost intervention, a consortium led by Temple University researcher Gerard J. Criner, M.D., has been named a Center of Excellence and awarded a $4.7 million grant by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Criner is a professor of medicine at Temple University School of Medicine and director of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Temple University Hospital. A Center of Excellence is a special distinction from the commonwealth given to medical or educational institutions pursuing focused scientific research. Collaborators on this project include Lancaster General Hospital, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, University of Pittsburgh and the Western Pennsylvania Hospital. Colleagues at Harvard Medical School will also be involved for genetic work. COPD, usually caused by smoking, renders sufferers winded, weak and unable to participate in their day-to-day routines. When the disease is exacerbated, patients often are forced to go to the hospital for treatment and relief. In the U.S., in 2000, COPD resulted in 1.5 million emergency room visits, 726,000 hospitalizations and 119,000 deaths. Despite smoking cessation efforts and trends, experts expect these numbers to increase as our aged population continues to grow.

Small businesses are trailing behind in implementing drug-free workplace strategies - 50% of small businesses had drug free workplace policies compared to 91% of medium-sized companies and 94% of large companies.

Information Research, Vol. 6 No. 2, January 2001 Imposed information seeking in public libraries and school library media centers: a common behaviour? Melissa Gross School of Information Studies The Florida State University Tallahassee, FL 32306-2100 USA Abstract The imposed query model provides a new way of thinking about whom the user is in information proving organizations and environments. It does this by making a distinction between questions that are self-generated (internally motivated by personal context) and those that are imposed (thought up by one person then given to someone else to resolve). While the imposed query model represents familiar behaviour, it is a dimension of information seeking that has only recently been explicitly addressed and isolated for study. This article summarizes research on the imposed query in two different information providing contexts: the elementary school and the adult reference desk at the public library. Results reveal whom the imposers and agent users are in these environments and provide an assessment of how common imposed queries are in these contexts. Introduction Many models are available that represent the information seeking process ( Wilson , 1999). The majority of these models assume that individuals seek information and interact with information systems in response to their own, self-generated information needs. While these models do recognize that people go to other people as potential resource when in pursuit of information, the models fail to recognize that the default behaviour, when the person resource doesn't have the answer, doesn't have to be an interaction with information providing objects, organizations, or systems. Instead the person seeking information may ask someone to find the answer for them.

Home Child Welfare Health/Mental Health Juvenile Justice ... Subcommittee Third Circuit Court of Appeals Holds Juvenile Detention Centers Can Be Liable for Deficient Policies and Practices. On June 10, 2004 the Third Circuit Court of Appeals found that there is potential liability for a county juvenile detention center in a JLC case involving a 13-year-old, with serious mental health problems, who was maltreated by other youth in juvenile detention. The Court found that the plaintiff raised serious issues, and that a county can be liable for deficient hiring and staffing policies and practices; lack of an adequate training program for the detention center's staff; lack of established protocols to ensure youth safety; and lack of established policies to address the mental and physical health needs of youth residents. Amendment to Adoption Act Limits Time Birth Parents Can Reconsider An amendment to the Pennsylvania Adoption Act, approved by the Governor on March 24, 2004, now limits the time birth parents have to reconsider an adoption. For the father (birth or putative), consent to an adoption is irrevocable 30 days after birth or execution of the consent (whichever event happens later); for the birth mother, consent is irrevocable 30 days after execution of the consent. US Supreme Court Fails to Extend Juvenile Rights On June 1, 2004, the United States Supreme Court decided that a California state court was not wrong in refusing to consider the defendant's age when considering whether he was "in custody." Miranda warnings must be given when suspects are "in custody," if statements are to be admissible at trial.
