| Some key meth issues losing ground, support
Many lawmakers and the governor made tackling methamphetamine addiction in Nevada a top priority during this year's legislative session, but at the halfway point, several of the key issues have lost ground and might not get the support needed. Increasing treatment options and reducing the wait lists for those needing treatment was the No. 1 suggestion made during a recent governor's task force meeting, but new funds have not been added to the budget for treatment beds and the amount proposed by Gov. Jim Gibbons will help only a small percentage of those waiting for treatment. Maria Canfield, director of the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency, has said that in 2006, about 2,226 people waited an average of 24 days for treatment, but the $3.8 million Gibbons proposed only will take about 154 people off the list.
Calgary's next dean thinks oil has legs
Calgary is emerging as a world-class business city but will it have a world-class business school? That's the challenge of Leonard Waverman, a 65-year-old economist who on Jan. 1, 2008, will become the fourth dean in the past decade at the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business. Mr. Waverman, a Canadian who has spent 10 years at London Business School, knows something of Calgary -- he started his career as an energy economist. In recent years, his research has focused on the economic impact of communications technology. He talks about his new job, his age, and what's wrong with Canadian productivity. Why does the Haskayne school have trouble keeping deans? I think it's just circumstances. The underlying quality of the school and its people is there.
