    PROPOSAL AIMED AT DISPOSAL

    Burbank Leader, CA
    Nov 4 2006

    The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved Michael
    Antonovich's motion to direct county staffers to pursue the possibility
    of expanding a pharmaceutical disposal program to the entire county.

    The "No Drugs Down the Drain" program informs residents about the
    hazards of throwing away medications in places where they can reach
    surface waters and negatively affect the environment. Research has
    shown that medications in surface waters complicates human growth
    and reproduction.

    The program encourages county residents to either dispose of medicine
    waste at hazardous-waste collection centers or seal them in sturdy
    plastic containers before putting them in trash cans.

    the country joined Armenia's Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian for

    the relationship between the United States and Armenia.
