Extractions: or tgoldberg@newmoa.org Northeast States Form Clearinghouse to Promote Mercury Reduction BOSTON - Environmental officials from eight Northeast states announced today that they have formed an umbrella organization - the Interstate Mercury Education and Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC) - to assist their implementation of mercury reduction laws and programs aimed at getting mercury out of consumer products, the waste stream, and the environment. Launched under the auspices of the Northeast Waste Management Officials' Association (NEWMOA), the new clearinghouse will coordinate regional mercury reduction efforts and assist state environmental agencies in developing and implementing specific legislation and programs for notification, labeling, collection, and eventual phase-out of products that contain mercury. According to Commissioner Chris Recchia of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, "for several years all of the Environmental Agencies in the Northeast have been working aggressively to eliminate mercury from waste and products as part of a larger effort to reduce mercury in the environment. By forming IMERC, we are aiming to build on already successful efforts to reduce emissions from waste combustion facilities, collect and recycle mercury-added products, help hospitals and schools eliminate and safely manage stockpiled fever thermometers and elemental mercury, and educate the public."

Maine Meeting Place Several agencies now contract to use MMP as Likewise, maine's revised Special EducationRegulations were made Anne Holcomb Director, maine Meeting Place York http://www.benton.org/Library/State/meeting-place.html
Extractions: The Maine Meeting Place (MMP) is a statewide electronic bulletin board system created in February 1992 for people with disabilities, their families, and the people who serve them. MMP users can obtain or share information, meet others with similar problems and concerns, and contribute to disability awareness. The network is accessible over regular telephone lines through a toll-free number using low-cost terminal equipment or personal computers. The network was started by a parent who had two young children with special needs. The parent had a hard time obtaining timely information about disabilities issues and networking with other people with disabilities and their families to achieve common goals. Due to Maine's rural character, many families with children with special needs rarely communicate with one another, and their primary contacts with people knowledgeable about disabilities are with state agencies or other service providers. When the project began, staff identified a large number of $25 Sceptre terminal devices that were eventually purchased and distributed free of charge by the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council. Essentially a small keyboard with a modem, users can plug the device into a phone line and a television to connect to the network. The television screen serves as the monitor. Thus even families without a home computer can use this basic technology to participate in the network from home. Although the Sceptre terminals are no longer available, MMP continues to receive donations of second-hand computer equipment that founder Lou McIntosh says is "so out of date in today's business world that they aren't worth the money to cart them away." As of this writing, MMP had just received a donation of 100 computers with 286 processors that will be distributed to consumers after being fitted with modems.
