Recently, at both the state and federal level, a bill has been introduced to randomly test welfare recipients for drugs use. This bill would be put into action to prevent people on governmental assistance from abusing the programs and using the money to purchase and use drugs. Those on assistance would be required to take a pee test and the tests would be administered at random. These random tests would be given to around twenty-percent of those on welfare. Those who have been in favor of the bill are Republicans at both the state and federal level.

What do you think about this current event? Would this bill be warranted for drug prevention? What civil liberties does this infringe upon?

Post comment below.

I had a plan in my head, one that I had consulted with my parents and close friends.  I was going to quit my current job in July, and either hopefully be heading off to grad school (Please someone say yes to to me!!), or go and intern (most likely for free) at a lab to be a more attractive candidates for when I apply again (let me tell you, the people who apply for my program are freaking amazing people who have had a lot of great opportunities to work with some incredible people).  But during this time I have also been applying for research positions here and there, trying to gain more experience. Well, Miami is not the place for this really.  The only places where research is done is at the universities, and they are looking for post-docs and 3-5 years experience.  I have neither, but this in no way deters me from applying.  Well, I have received called backs and they quickly go sour when they see I don’t have years of experience (which really irritates me because they have my resume!  Why do they play with my emotions?? Rat bastards…), this quickly ends our phone conversation.  But last week I received a call from HR at UM.  They saw I applied for a research position and while, she told me I didn’t look like a strong candidate there I did have a lot of experience in coordination of benefits yada yada (Seinfeld). Doreen (or as I kept calling her in my heard, Dory)  wanted to pass my resume to the Behavioral Health department for a position that I would fit perfectly in.  I said sure, and then she told me that it was only a temporary position… three months at the very least.  PERFECT!  Things (at least in my head) started to fall in place!   What are the odds of this all happening so wonderfully?

I was offered the job immediately and thus began my mad dash to get all the crazy requirements done before I start.  I have been given more paperwork than I have for any other job, I have been given a shot, and for the first time in my life made to pee in a cup.  Thank the good man/woman upstairs that I have not indulged in any recreational activities in the last 8 months.  I passed my TB test, and no call from the illegal drug people, so I am good!  I just have to finish one more long online packet that I can do this weekend and my start date is the 11th!

My current employer (their competition) is very happy for me, it really is a step up for me.  But the only problem is that they want to give me a going away party.  I don’t really like parties that are thrown for me. I feel uncomfortable, I feel like I am not that important to have a party just for me.  I told my supervisor to please not do that.  I’d rather have everyone do one shot and call it a day (but I couldn’t say that).  I know it’s weird, I know, but this is part of my psychosis.  I want to just run, leave quietly, no party.

I am very hopeful that I will get accepted to school soon.  I am working on two more applications… let’s see how it goes!  Till then, I will try and figure out how to not offend my current employer when I talk to them again today when I ask for just a little bye, no party.

Hilariously, though, the more you observe the context of this decision the more terrifyingly insightful it is. You see, it doesn’t make much sense to end a ban on quarantining people if such a quarantine, even a partial one, wasn’t being considered. But wouldn’t that be a lot of Kansan taxpayers’ money to spend on a medically inaccurate view of how to stop the spread of HIV? Well, yes, yes it would, but apparently it’s one that the Republican governor and legislature of Kansas are still considering.

Kansas is one of the few states that hasn’t clarified whether it will independently set up its exchange or refuses to and expects the federal government to do so, from here. Click to enlarge.

Of course, that wasn’t their tune in the past couple of months when it came to offering preventative care to the 130,000 Kansans without insurance in the form of a state-administered medicaid expansion. No, the head of the KDHE farmed out the analysis of the cost of that to a private firm that gave him and the rest of the state a page and half report declaring that the cost of that would be over a billion dollars over the next ten years. Of course, there’s the option available to Governor Brownback to yield to the federal government and allow it to set up the exchange, but he’s apparently not gotten around to that have yet to announce whether he’ll select either of those choices.

So to recap: the freedom of the state to quarantine HIV+ people is something to be discussed and the cost is apparently no object. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people are continuing to go without basic medical insurance but the cost of Kansas doing something is too much and asking the federal government to assist is not even worth discussing.

Actually, this isn’t the first time such a strange bundle of issues has come before the Kansas government and led to them simultaneously claiming that invasive, costly, and honestly useless programs are completely reasonable and that more effective medical programs are just too much to put on the government’s dime, especially since they’re so questionable. In 2011, Governor Brownback invited the Heritage Foundation to a public conference about how to help alleviate the lot of Kansan children growing up in poverty. Instead of actually providing family planning services, creating additional programs to assist single mothers in avoiding or mitigating the affects of poverty, or otherwise trying to actually help those families, Brownback found room in the budget to host an event for a political commentator to lecture them and insist that they should just get married.

On March 26, the Kansan House passed an additional regulation, that if a social worker has “reasonable suspicion” (hmmm) that a welfare recipient is abusing controlled substances, they can report them and make their add contingent on a positive drug test. All the evidence suggests that this won’t be cost effective, to say nothing of it creating a (probably racist and classist) culture of anxiety over access to necessary assistance. But after multiple years of debate, the bill seems to be heading towards law, because Kansas both has the money to test anyone on welfare deemed “suspicious” and the dire need to cut those people from the welfare rolls because of its projected budget shortfalls.

Or maybe, just maybe, a lack of funds is a pretext to deny care that disappears down the memory hole when it comes to the nightmarish idea of quarantining HIV+ people.

Adulterants are additives which mess up drug test results. The individual taking the drug test can add an adulterant to chemically alter the test, they can bring in replacement urine, they can dilute the sample, or they can attempt to distort the results by taking certain chemical, herbs or liquids before taking the drug test.

Water based adulterants are the most commonly used in messing up a drug test result. The individual can either drink a lot of water the day before and the day of the screening test or they can add some sort of dilution, including just water itself, to the sample cup. Fortunately, diluted samples are considered to be tests of interest to a drug testing company such as ourselves, and so the individual would be more likely to have to submit a secondary sample if the result came back diluted. Now, when it comes to chemical alterations, CMM Technology has you covered.

Our special drug test kit, Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6, is designed with an adulterant test already built in to the cup. Now, that is efficiency for you. If a compromised sample has been given, all you have to do is use our drug test equipment instead of the drug test kits you have been using. CMM Technology prides ourselves on being a leader in drug testing in Western Australia, and we ship our products all over our country. There really isn’t a reason why you cannot have everything you need in order to implement your employee drug testing in a reasonable and effective way.

We’ve thought of everything.

Adulterants come in many different forms, and drug testing services are great at spotting suspicious looking samples. These companies make a living at accurately reporting drug testing results, and CMM Technology delivers the drug test equipment to many of these testing services. In addition to that, we often deliver directly to businesses which desire to use onsite drug testing as part of their protocol.

We cover that, too.

Go read about the Tennessee legislature’s continued movement on tying welfare benefits to student achievement:

The bill is sponsored by Sen. Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, and Rep. Vance Dennis, R-Savannah. It calls for a 30 percent reduction in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits to parents whose children are not making satisfactory progress in school.

My very first blog post was about this very question of decency in how we deal with the least among us, and has remained a personal interest. Welfare as it’s typically defined in policy terms is the state-federal program known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) in the ’96 welfare reform effort. Basically the federal government block-grants funds to the states for assisting low-income individuals and families, to which states must also contribute funds, with these four specific imperatives:

States can use federal TANF and state MOE dollars to meet any of the four goals set out in the 1996 law:  “(1) provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives; (2) end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; (3) prevent and reduce the incidence of out of wedlock pregnancies and establish annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies; and (4) encourage the formation and maintenance of two parent families.”

This comes from a policy primer over at the CBPP, which includes this categorical graph of how TANF dollars are spent:

As the primer notes states are given broad leeway in how they administer the program, which is how things like drug-testing and attending PTA conferences get attached to eligibility requirements. It’s worth noting two things here; First, that beyond being the only federal ‘welfare’ program that still offers cash assistance, TANF also sets a lifetime maximum of sixty months (five years, consecutive or not, which most states emulate although about a third set limits lower) and the second is the directive I emphasized in the quote, that TANF “end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage.” I get the impression that most folks have no idea about the former and Republicans keep forgetting they already won the war on government dependency (unless you expand the definition of welfare beyond any useful meaning) vis a vie the latter.

I think this is critical context for understanding how particularly cruel these additional state requirements are in Tennessee and elsewhere. Legislators and advocates are essentially telling poor residents that destitution isn’t bad enough for them, that their stigmatization isn’t sufficiently codified into law, that the whole TANF process isn’t demeaning enough in your effort to gain benefits that are already “50 percent of the poverty line in all states.” If you’re at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder and your child isn’t doing well in school, Tennessee wants to punish you by leaving you poorer. If you’re impoverished and use illegal drugs many states want you to stay indigent and looking for psychotropic escape. Such efforts do not “strengthen welfare,” but effectively represent state-imposed floggings meant to dissuade participation. For all intents and purposes these are poverty punishment policies.

Vaughan hopes all county players remain clean after witnessing the consequences of drug abuse

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has announced that all county players should have learnt some serious lessons from the tragic death of Surrey batsman Tom Maynard.

Vaughan welcomed the England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) announcement of increasing the number of drug tests done during the season and off the field as well.

Vaughan also hopes that Maynard’s death will “frighten” other county players who even consider using recreational drugs.

During an inquest into Maynard’s death, it was revealed that the Surrey batsman had been three times over the legal alcohol limit and had been a habitual cocaine and ecstasy user for a few months prior to his death.

Maynard was found dead near Wimbledon Park tube station an hour after fleeing from authorities, who stopped him for “driving erratically” in the early hours of June 18 2012.

The coroner at the inquest stated that it was impossible to tell whether Maynard had been killed by electrocution after falling on the tracks, or whether the impact of the train hitting his body has resulted in his death.

“There will be players in cricket who have taken recreational drugs and are still doing it, but I hope Tom Maynard’s tragic story will make them stop,” Vaughan wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph. “There are around 400 professional cricketers in England and it would be naive to think Tom’s is an isolated case. There are bound to be more who have taken drugs in the past or are still doing it now.

“The England and Wales Cricket Board is going to introduce more testing for recreational drugs and that will frighten a few into cleaning up their acts.”

Maynard’s death has been tough on the entire Surrey squad, especially captain Rory Hamilton-Brown, who was Maynard’s flatmate.

Hamilton-Brown was distraught after the death of his best friend and wasted no time in stepping down as captain at the end of last season before joining Sussex.

In an attempt to make up for their losses, Surrey signed South Africa captain Graeme Smith to a three-year deal and have even recruited the services of former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting for June and July this year.

Vaughan noted that the addition of two veterans would be extremely beneficial for all the younger players in the Surrey squad.

“There was a lack of those players at Surrey 12 months ago but next summer they will have Graeme Smith and Ricky Ponting,” Vaughan wrote. “Two men who are exactly the right kind of role models for young kids making their way in cricket.”

England batsman Ian Bell also voiced his support for the increased frequency of drug testing, and told the BBC: “Other sports are doing it. It’s important what has happened doesn’t happen again.”

We have all known, or at least seen, the individuals who from middle age and onward must drag an oxygen tank behind them wherever they go. This is because their lungs are so deteriorated from smoking that they are unable to pull in and process as much oxygen as everyone else’s lungs.

In other words, they cannot physically function without the oxygen that they are dragging around behind them. Of course, all of this started with either cigarettes or drug abuse, but drug abuse is just as likely to cause cancer in the lungs as some of the tar found in some cigarettes. In addition to that, drug abuse has been linked to respiratory problems, as has severe and chronic alcoholism.

Now, obviously anyone who is dragging an oxygen tank behind them is not very marketable and does not appear very competent in the workplace. Naturally, you would wish your employees to be a little more developed than that. Try out our drug test equipment for your employee drug testing. Alcohol test and drug testing is part of keeping your other, non-abusing employees safe. In fact, screening tests are really the only way to ensure that employees are following company policy concerning drug testing, since verbal confirmation cannot be entirely, or scientifically, trusted.

Obviously, we here atCMM Technology are not prejudiced against anyone with a disability. It is, however, recommended that the oxygen tank draggers should be closely examined for employment, since a history of compulsive self sabotage has already been established and is openly available for the public to see. That is another thing about employees who exhibit lack of self control from their younger years. Their credibility is ruined with professional clientele.

All parts of your business must be kept well maintained and intact. There must be set standards, and your employees, who work for you, must maintain those standards within and among themselves.

With the amount of help which is available for recovering addicts, including but not limited to employee assistance programs set up within companies, there really is no excuse for allowing abusive behavior to enter your own workplace.

Avertest has offices in Missouri and California, and does tests not only for probation officers but also for companies checking on their employees.  Runge says he’s seen lots of these prosthetic devices, known as Whizzinators, in this time with the company, in fact, as many as a few a month.

“The industry has been seeing these types of devices, whether it’s a Whizzinator or other type of devices used to adulterate or tamper with drug testing samples for years,” he said.

Though the higher-end devices go for about $150 each, he says they’re pretty easy to spot, they’re often plastic, and don’t look particularly authentic. They strap on, and have a small box that holds the urine, and its kept warm by a small heating device.

“It’s ususally…the people that are going to try to use these things are people brand new to the criminal justice system,” Runge said.

In other words, using one is a rookie mistake. In fact, falsifying a urine test while on probation could lead to criminal charges, which KMOX reported on Friday morning.

In Daniel Goleman’s book, “Social Intelligence,” he describes how people should be able to get along with each other quite easily, and why many of them do not. Understanding socialized behavior is one of the best ways to improve your business standards and your business output.

After all, no company wishes to drop quality just to focus on quantity. There must be enough quantity, of course, but the quality of the product or service is what really determines how long the company will be in business. You must be able to sustain the quality of work you absolutely think that you’re capable of producing, and you must be in a position where you can improve that quality when you think of how to do it.

Running a company is hard. Anyone who has ever done it knows this. However, it is much more difficult if your staff is not socially educated and adept at all of their positions. There must be a socialization structure to your company, or loners will be allowed to sit in their back hovels and become even more isolated over the years.

The income of loners on average is twenty percent less than the income of socially adept individuals. Why is this the case?

It has to do with how comfortable some people feel around coworkers and subordinates who are loner type of people. Unfortunately, just about any manager or executive is socially adept, so you will not find many loners who are in positions of power. If you are a loner yourself, than your currently isolated positioning within the company can be to your detriment.

Loners also happen to be more likely to engage in drug and alcohol abuse while on the job. This is because the stress of being around other people, even in their positions which tend to be more withdrawn, is too much and they feel far too much pressure.

However, just as with any muscle, exercising your social muscles is more likely to make you feel confident in public situations and in uncomfortable positions with other people. CMM Technology brings this level of evaluation to your doorstep with our drug tests kits, featuring our LifeLoc FC10 breathalyser and our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6. These can be excellent parts of your business today. Order now: (+61) 1300 79 70 30.

Authorities say 34-year-old Sydney Levin was submitting a urine sample last week as part of his probation when an officer allegedly spotted him using a prosthetic known as a Whizzinator. The prosthetic is advertised as a “discreet” device that includes synthetic “medical grade urine.”

KMOV-TV reports that Levin, of Lake St. Louis, was charged last week with possessing a forging instrument. He was arrested and released after posting $25,000 bond. He pleaded not guilty Monday.

Authorities say Levin’s probation required him to submit a urine sample as part of drug test. He was on probation for possession of a controlled substance and felony stealing.

Currently,  three states require drug testing based on reasonable cause for welfare beneficiaries.  Missouri, Utah, and Arizona currently require suspicion-based drug testing, while many others, including Michigan, are considering similar legislation.  Michigan’s legislature passed legislation in 2011 requiring the Department of Human Services (“DHS”) to report on the feasibility of such a program.

In the report, DHS indicated it would develop a procedure for determining suspicion for drug use by either requiring questionnaire or analysis by an expert in drug abuse.  The report concluded that such a program would be feasible despite the inability to estimate cost of the program, relying on other states’ estimates of $100,000 to $20 million dollars.

But the real question is: would the program be constitutional?

MIssouri’s law has yet to implement a procedure for welfare recipients.  The constitionality will boil down to whether the procedure is individualized enough and satisfies the requirements of reasonable cause.  The future of Michigan’s proposed law is still tenuous, but it too will have to meet the standards of probable cause.

Effects of PCP medication abuse
Due to the over amount of PCP, the medication users have distressing emotional results. Their actions will be unforeseen and often aggressive actions is associated. Sometimes the users can even make destruction. Under the impact of PCP, the following are the repercussions on health of substance addict.

Effects on Brain: The misuse of PCP alters views of vision, sound and generates emotions of detachment from the environment and from them-selves also. These results are brought on by interruption of the connections between sensors tissues and natural chemical this. This is allocated throughout the perceptual and regulating program, results in changes in emotions, improves the craving for food and temperature etc.

Effects on abusers: Mostly if once the medication destroying becomes addiction it may become very difficult for the addict to leave it. This misuse can also cause to wanting and obsessive PCP seeking actions, despite of serious negative repercussions. During this process, there are many results both lengthy lasting and temporary results based on the quantity and use of the medication.

• Long phrase effects: Many lengthy lasting results are found due to the frequent misuse of the PCP for a lengthy period. This contains side results on respiration program and respiration prevents within minutes, which cause to rapid loss of life of the person. Throwing up, obscure perspective, moving up and down of eyes etc are few results brought on by destroying. About 90% of PCP medication users are brought into urgent rooms with serious emotional results. With high amount of the medication addiction the neurological program is affected and the addict can even go into state of comma.

• Brief phrase effects: Most informal effect is emotions disruptions for 48 hrs from the use of medication with significant lifts like anxiety symptoms. Breathing rates gets a little bit improved and claims into development of hypertension level along with development of beat rate. Breathing becomes superficial, blushing along with massive perspiration and many other arms and legs are general with frequent misuse of PCP medication and loss of muscle sychronisation may also occur. These drugs can affect the ability to think and connect because of the misuse.

Parent should talk about the dangerous results of PCP medication addiction with their kids. Always avoidance is better than cure, so better to take necessary steps for not going for any medication addiction.

Education at your house is some of the most powerful learning that you can have. Education requires a dedicated time spent on learning and experiencing new things. When not restrained by deadlines and when internally motivated to get things done, rather than being coaxed and prodded along a specific course plan, self education is one of the most valuable ways to build self esteem and self respect.

This is because any sustained and carefully planned betterment of the self acts powerfully upon self esteem and the respect we hold for ourselves. It is the same as when you cultivate growth in a garden, causing the plants to grow better and stronger and larger.

Self education can get a bad rap if it is tied to online higher education colleges. There is still somewhat of a stigma about getting an online education from an online university. However, simply reading and educating yourself without a formal course structure is considered the actions of an intellectual.

Original thought is necessary in business.

You cannot successfully navigate even the most mundane of jobs without using original thought. However, drug and alcohol abuse can modify and warp original thought into very unproductive states.

CMM Technology provides drug test equipment, along with breathalyzer recalibration service, to businesses throughout Australia. We help you make your company part of a growth process, where your employees learn instead of become lethargic. Employee drug testing is extremely effective for determining who is fit for duty and who is leaving themselves behind. Our ToxSure saliva drug test definitely takes care of this need.

Miami Marlins prospect, Kolby Copeland, has been suspended 50 games for refusing to take an offseason drug test. Copeland, who is only 19, was drafted in the 3rd round out of high school last year. Under baseball’s minor league drug program, refusal to comply with testing is considered the same as a positive result in relation to discipline. Copeland is 1 of 8 suspensions this year under the minor league program. Going into the draft, Baseball America’s scouting report noted that Copeland “sat out the first part of high school season serving a suspension stemming from an underage drinking and driving arrest.”

Asli Cakir Alptekin

London Olympic gold medalist from Turkey, Asli Cakir Alptekin, has tested positive for a banned substance. No official announcement of this has been made by either the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) or the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF). If an announcement is made, Alptekin could face a lifetime ban. In 2004, Alptekin already served a two-year ban for a precious doping offense. It’s been reported that many in the track world found her 2012 breakthrough to be suspicious. An announcement from the organization is still pending.

Lavar Johnson, Alex Caceres, Riki Fukuda

When powerless individuals who really feel their helplessness seek revenge, the results can be devastating. We are not talking about blowing things up or annihilating entire blocks of a city, but on a more personal level than that. Powerless people cause a lot of destruction when they do not understand how to build themselves back up on the inside, which is the only way to regain power, by the way.

The first power play to expect is that of victimhood. Complaining about what they are not getting and about who is not treating them fairly is the habit of the novice weakling.

Secondly, they are likely to engage in some vicious gossip. This does not have to necessarily be about anyone in particular, as long as someone else’s reputation is hurt, and they look better for telling everyone about it. It is important to go from prey to predator in their minds, because weakness is not tolerated at this particular level.

After a powerless individual evolves for a while, they may be able to cover their tracks a lot better, and really look good while spreading their lies around. This means that they must be nice a good fifty percent of the time in order to look benevolent and friendly, and they will begin to ask subtler questions in public which really hit someone’s reputation a lot harder, especially in the eyes of authority figures in the company.

Lastly, the ultimate backlash of a powerless individual comes when they actually achieve a high ranking position, but are still pulling the same abuse of what little power they possess, just as they did previously. Good employees will end up leaving the company, while bad employees may become corrupt.

All of your employees should feel empowered, and this is done when they are safe and protected. Employee drug testing is a crucial part in making sure that your workers are fit for duty and responsible during their time at work.Drug test kits, like our Medix integrated pro-split cup 6+6, are specially designed with adulterant tests so that nobody can cheat on these tests.

Part of being friends with someone involves the give-and-take process. You must be willing to give some of your time, resources and attention to your friend, as well as take their contributions. If you are unable to engage in this give-and-take process, then you may be seen as either a doormat or too proud and arrogant.

Whatever happens, there is a limit to what you can give to your friends. Anyone who demands what they cannot give in return is engaging in partially dysfunctional behavior. There must be an even trade in resources and friendship. Protecting your money when your buddies come calling can be one of the wisest decisions you engage in.

The same applies for companies. When a business distributes more than it pulls in, then it can quickly go broke. That is obviously not the correct way of doing business. You must be able to contribute to your employees a proper compensation for their time and work, but no one should be asking you to give them twice as much as what they actually contribute. This is why, even though managers and executives may trust and really enjoy the company of their employees, they still engage in employee drug testing. It is the responsible thing to do.
