...Sarah, one of the participants, says she had tried countless treatment programs in the past, but nothing had rid her of her 20-year heroin habit. "I was pretty chaotic," she says. "Most of my time was taken up by either looking for money or taking drugs." But by going to the clinic every day to inject heroin, she received help finding housing and battling her depression and had time to become a mentor for inmates being released from jail. Within the first year of the trial, Sarah had reduced her injections from twice a day to once...
...Through countless hand sanitizers, instructions on keeping clean, and other proactive measures, the university has been making a concerted and visible effort to keep students and the campus clean over the first few weeks of school. These efforts are necessary and will hopefully pay dividends if flu affects a large swath of campus later this fall.

The best tribute his colleagues in Congress can bestow is the health-care-reform bill that was his life's cause and that he worked so hard for but, sadly, did not live to see enacted. Farewell to a true patriot. Cheers Echevarria...
...with a sprawling flock of photographers, journalists, and hangers-on, only to later resume the party across the pond in London, Milan, and finally Paris.With these four fashion capitals essentially dominating the industry on the basis of tradition and clout alone, it’s easy to overlook the countless other fashion weeks cropping up in cities around the globe, to varying effect. Tokyo and Copenhagen maintain a loyal following with cult native designers like Junya Tashiro and Henrik Vibskov, while São Paolo is also emerging as a worthy contender. Still the future of Los Angeles?...
