The Removal Act called for the formation of a Capital Commission to locate a site for the capital on state-owned land. The Commission, composed of Governor David Butler, Secretary of State Thomas Kennard and Auditor John Gillespie, began to tour sites on July 18, 1867, for the new capital city. The village of Lancaster was chosen, in part due to the salt flats and marshes. Lancaster had approximately 30 residents. Disregarding the original plat of the village of Lancaster, Thomas Kennard platted Lincoln on a broader scale. The plat of the village of Lancaster was not dissolved nor abandoned; Lancaster became Lincoln when the Lincoln plat files were finished September 6, 1867. To raise money for the construction of a capital city, a successful auction of lots was held. Newcomers began to arrive and Lincoln's population grew. The Nebraska State Capitol was completed on December 1, 1868; a two-story building constructed with native limestone with a central cupola. The Kennard house, built in 1869, is the oldest remaining building in the original plat of Lincoln.

Selecting the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug testing panels refer to the group of substances screened. Common options include 5-panel, 10-panel, and 12-panel tests, with custom screenings available as needed.

Understanding Drug Tests

A drug test involves the technical analysis of a biological specimen (such as urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluid/saliva) to check for specified drugs or their metabolites. Major applications include detecting performance-enhancing steroids in sports, legal compliance for employment and probation, and routine law enforcement BAC checks. BAC tests use breathalyzers, while urinalysis dominates in sports and workplace drug testing. Various methods exist, with differing accuracy and detection periods. A drug test may also assess the quantitative content of illegal substances to encourage responsible use.

Impact of Passive Smoke Inhalation on Drug Tests

Concern about "passive" inhalation from sharing a space with marijuana smokers is unlikely to impact results since labs set cut-off concentrations beyond potential passive exposure.

Other urine test anomalies may indicate false negatives or adulteration. Examples include:

  • Low creatinine levels might mean urine was tampered with, possibly diluted through excessive pre-test water intake or direct water addition.
  • Testing labs use creatinine levels alongside specific gravity to assess dilution risk, often colorizing toilet water to prevent sample contamination.
  • Attempts to introduce certain enzymes for sample stability might alter pH, which is also monitored in tests.

Drug Duration in Your System

The detection window of a drug test depends on several variables, such as:

  • Drug quantity
  • Frequency of use
  • Type of drug
  • Individual metabolic rate and health condition
  • Fluid consumption since drug intake
  • Physical activity post-consumption
  • Genetic factors affecting drug processing

Lincoln is the capital of the U.S. state of Nebraska and the county seat of Lancaster County. The city covers 94.267 square miles (244.150 km2) with a population of 284,736 in 2017. It is the second-most populous city in Nebraska and the 71st-largest in the United States. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area in the southeastern part of the state called the Lincoln Metropolitan and Lincoln-Beatrice Combined Statistical Areas. The statistical area is home to 353,120 people, making it the 106th-largest combined statistical area in the United States.

The city was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster on the wild salt marshes of what was to become Lancaster County. In 1867, the village of Lancaster became Nebraska's state capital and was renamed Lincoln. The Bertram G. Goodhue-designed state capitol building was completed in 1932 and is the second tallest capitol in the United States. As the city is the seat of government for the state of Nebraska, the state and the United States government are major employers. The University of Nebraska was founded in Lincoln in 1867. The university is the largest in Nebraska with 26,079 students enrolled and is the city's third-largest employer. Other primary employers fall within the service and manufacturing industries, including a growing high-tech sector. The region makes up a part of what is known as the greater Midwest Silicon Prairie.

Designated as a "refugee-friendly" city by the U.S. Department of State in the 1970s, the city was the twelfth-largest resettlement site per capita in the United States by 2000. Refugee Vietnamese, Karen (Burmese ethnic minority), Sudanese and Yazidi (Iraqi ethnic minority) people, as well as other refugees from Iraq & the Middle East, have been resettled in the city.
