UMaine News Press Releases from Word Press XML export 2013 Article Features Student Nurses’ Belize Mission 02 Jan 2013 An article in The Weekly, a supplement to the Bangor Daily News, included comments from several University of Maine School of Nursing students and a faculty member who are raising money for a March trip to the country of Belize in Central American to provide health care services to underprivileged families. UMaine Geologist Grew Featured in News Reports 02 Jan 2013 Maine Public Broadcasting Network and the Bangor Daily News recently interviewed University of Maine geologist and research professor Ed Grew about his work studying rocks and minerals in remote parts of the world, including Antarctica and Russia. Grew has been recognized for his work with two newly discovered minerals, edgrewite and hydroxledgrewite, named in his honor by two Russian geologists. Coastal Paper Reports on UMaine Extension Plant Sale Benefit 02 Jan 2013 The coastal Penobscot Bay Pilot reported on the “Grow It Right” initiative, through which University of Maine Cooperative Extension is selling blueberry and asparagus plants to benefit its Master Gardener Volunteers and community horticultural programs. Former UMaine President Lloyd Elliott Passes 03 Jan 2013 Lloyd Elliott, University of Maine President from 1958–65, died Jan. 1 at the age of 94. After leaving UMaine, Elliott served as president of George Washington University from 1965 until his retirement in 1988. He then became the president of the National Geographic Education Foundation. "Lloyd Elliott was a nationally recognized educational leader," says University of Maine President Paul W. Ferguson. "At UMaine, he championed educational access, the humanities and science, improved the campus infrastructure, and understood the importance of UMaine research to help the state. Lloyd Elliott continued the development of UMaine on a firm path to becoming the flagship university of Maine that it is today. We have deep gratitude for his service, and our thoughts are with his family and friends." Elliott came to UMaine from Cornell University, where he had served as executive assistant to the president. During his University of Maine administration, Elliott was known for his commitment to expanding student capacity on campus and obtaining enhanced funding from the Maine legislature for faculty and staff. The transformation of the campus landscape during his presidency included construction of six new classroom buildings, six dormitories, two dining halls and Hauck Auditorium. Among other benchmarks: the deployment of closed-circuit television to expand statewide access to classes and the acquisition of Darling Marine Center. Elliott was instrumental in bringing President John F. Kennedy to the university in October 1963 — 33 days before his assassination in Dallas — to receive an honorary degree. UMaine historian David C. Smith in his book, The First Century: A History of the University of Maine, 1865– 1965, characterized Elliott as “a whirlwind in his years at Orono. The campus was literally no longer recognizable to one who has been there in the thirties.” That much-changed campus landscape was celebrated in UMaine’s centennial year, 1965. Elliott received an honorary degree from UMaine in 1969. Elliott was a West Virginia native who earned his undergraduate degree from Glendale State College, a master’s from the University of West Virginia and a Ph.D. in educational administration from the University of Colorado. February Stress Reduction Classes Offered to UMaine Community 03 Jan 2013 A free four-week program exploring stress-reduction strategies is being offered to UMaine faculty and staff from 8:30– 10 a.m. or 11 a.m.–12:30 p.m. each Tuesday in February in the Multipurpose Room of the Memorial Union.

New Spectroscopy Instrument to Advance UMaine Glacial Ice Core Analysis 03 Jan 2013 Researchers at the University of Maine Climate Change Institute’s Keck Laser Ice Facility laboratory have installed and calibrated a new, state-of-the-art Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy instrument that will change the way isotopes in glacial ice are measured for reconstructing and understanding ancient climate change. Researchers Andrei Kurbatov, a Climate Change Institute (CCI) assistant research professor, CCI Director Paul Mayewski and Douglas Introne, CCI stable isotope technician, received funding from the National Science Foundation for the instrument. It will enable the characterization of past abrupt climate change events at extremely high resolution and in unprecedented detail in order to better understand the driving forces of climate change. News Reports Former UMaine President’s Passing 03 Jan 2013 The Maine Public Broadcasting Network, Bangor Daily News and the Washington Post were among the news organizations reporting the death of former University of Maine President Lloyd Elliot at age 94. He was president of UMaine from 1958–65 and of George Washington University from 1965–88. The article included comments from UMaine President Paul Ferguson and UMaine professors emeriti John Battick and Richard Hill. Channel 5 Reports on Student’s Sandy Hook School Project 03 Jan 2013 Channel 5 (WABI) interviewed University of Maine senior Samantha Laverdiere, an Auburn native majoring in psychology with a biology minor, about a fundraising project she is undertaking to make and sell candles, ribbons and bracelets to benefit children at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, where a gunman recently killed 20 students and six adults. WABI Covers UMaine Mayan Calendar Talk 03 Jan 2013 Channel 5 (WABI) covered the recent talk at the University of Maine Hudson Museum by Angela Thompson, an East Carolina University professor of Latin American history, about the ancient Mayan calendar and her belief that the world would survive a doomsday scenario predicted by some to occur when the calendar ended Dec. 21. Newspaper Advances UMaine U.S.-Pakistan Relations Talk 03 Jan 2013 The Bangor Daily News has posted an announcement about a presentation on United States and Pakistan relations at 5 p.m., Monday, Jan. 7 at the University of Maine Buchanan Alumni House featuring Husain Haqqani, a Pakistani scholar and public figure who served as Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States from 2008–11.

    Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities

    Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities Healthy people, healthy businesses, healthy governments — healthy communities — are all best informed and engaged by independent community journalists who examine school budgets, expose scandals, question practices and politics, scrutinize environmental practices, who champion good and who dare to challenge fear and falsehoods. The work we do in our newsrooms enhances community life, it exposes mental and social health care problems and brings solutions forward, it relentlessly exposes overspending in our governments, and highlights the great people who live and work all around us. Communities are healthier, more engaged, more resilient and better able to thrive when informed by truth.

    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006

    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

    EXHIBIT 5 (Page 1 of 8) MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS Blueberry Broadcasting, LLC. The proposed modifications to the WMCM(FM) and WQSS(FM) operating facilities will continue to comply with the local radio ownership restrictions outlined in Section 73.3555 of the FCC Rules. WMCM and WQSS have and will continue to have overlap with four other commonly owned stations in the area:1 WABK-FM - Gardner, Maine WVQM(FM)- Augusta, Maine WBAK(FM) - Belfast, Maine WVOM(AM) - Rockland, Maine Neither WMCM nor WQSS is considered to be “home” to any Nielsen Audio metro market. Furthermore, neither Rockland nor Camden is located within the boundaries of any metro market. For this reason, as required by Paragraph 286 of the FCC’s July 2, 2003 Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MB Dockets 02-277, 01- 235, 01-317, 00-244, and 03-130, it was necessary to conduct contour overlap studies2 for these commonly owned stations. Figure 5.0 is a map exhibit depicting the principal community contours for these six stations. The 5 mV/m daytime contour for WVOM was projected utilizing the notified daytime facilities from the FCC’s Consolidated Database System (“CDBS”) and soil con- ductivity data from FCC Figure M3. The 3.16 mV/m contours for WABK-FM, WVQM, 1Blueberry Broadcasting has other commonly owned stations in the area, but they do not have any principal community contour overlap with WMCM or WQSS and, therefore, were not analyzed as part of this analysis. Nor were they counted as stations in the market if their site was inside the composite con- tour.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021

    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.
