Extractions: Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... Vt. August 3, 2005 NEWPORT, Vt. A team of Quebec divers who conducted water quality tests on Lake Memphremagog last year will be able to continue their work on the U.S. end of the lake this summer. Last year's studies revealed damage to the lake being caused by man-made runoff and shoreline erosion, but was limited to portion of the lake in Quebec. Now the team has obtained permission from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and financial backing from the state of Vermont to move south of the border. On Aug. 8, the four divers and their boat captain, Jack Watson of Newport, will begin weeks of water quality testing all around the Vermont shoreline of the lake. The state will cover $11,000 of the $17,000 cost of the study said Canute Dalmasse, deputy secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. State money will pay Watson, and the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is contributing a boat for the divers, Dalmasse said. The city of Newport will provide a free boat dock "It's a neat partnership," Dalmasse said.
Extractions: Secondhand smoke is a known carcinogen ( ). Exposure to secondhand smoke causes approximately 35,000 heart disease deaths and 3,000 lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in the United States every year ( ). Implementing policies that establish smoke-free environments is the most effective approach to reducing secondhand smoke exposure among nonsmokers ( ). Smoking restrictions and smoke-free policies can take the form of laws or regulations implemented at the state or local level or of voluntary policies implemented by private employers and businesses. Smoking restrictions limit smoking to certain areas within a venue; smoke-free policies ban smoking within the entire venue. One of the national health objectives for 2010 is to establish laws in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC) that prohibit or restrict smoking in public places and worksites. A related objective calls for all worksites to voluntarily implement policies that prohibit or restrict smoking. To assess progress toward meeting the first objective, CDC reviewed the status of state laws restricting smoking as of December 31, 2004, updating a 1999 study that reported on such laws as of December 31, 1998 ( ). This report summarizes the changes in state smoking restrictions for private-sector worksites, restaurants, and bars that occurred during 19992004.The findings indicate an increase in the number and restrictiveness of state laws regulating smoking in private-sector worksites, restaurants, and bars from 1999 through 2004. At the end of 2004, however, 16 states still had no restrictions on smoking in any of the three settings considered. Although secondhand smoke exposure among U.S. nonsmokers has decreased sharply in recent years, a substantial portion of nonsmokers continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke (

Dean's (In)experience As Governor Of Vermont Its population of just over 600000 ranks 49th among all states (and well under many vermont s largest city, Burlington, has just 40000 citizens, http://www.brookings.edu/views/op-ed/ohanlon/20040118.htm
Extractions: Michael E. O'Hanlon Most critiques of Howard Dean's electability have focused on his intemperate and inconsistent remarks on foreign and domestic policy. To be sure, these are cause for serious concern. Indeed, the latest USA Today poll on the former governor shows that he is the only major Democratic candidate with much higher negatives than positives among the general population. It is only fair that this question be posed. Dean has effectively criticized his opponents for being part of the DC establishment, and indeed most of them are. Dick Gephardt, former House Democratic leader, was elected to Congress in 1976. Joe Lieberman is in his third term in the Senate, John Kerry his fourth. True, John Edwards is only in his first term as senator, and Gen. Wesley Clark has never run for national office before, but Dean has still successfully cast himself as the fresh political face against a group of has-been traditional candidates. But is Washington experience really such a bad thing? And is Dean's preparation for the presidency really so strong? If he becomes the Democratic nominee, he will do so with less big-league political experience than any major party candidate in more than half a century.
