About Juan C.Close
I have a long experience teaching students of all levels and ages. I am patient, friendly, and I strive to make my lessons as entertaining and informational as possible.
My curiosity as a musician has led me to become familiar with most genres of guitar music. I also have an excellent ear and I can pick out any song you are interested in learning right away and make an easy arrangement according to your level.
About Juan
Juan's music blends elements from his unique life experiences, having been raised as an only child by a single mother in a bohemian environment. He was a recording and touring rock guitarist in Colombia, and he has studied East Asian music extensively, inspired by interaction with musicians and artists in China, Japan, and Indonesia.
His latest accomplishments include a performance of his composition "Reino Incierto" at Carnegie Hall (2015) and Sounds of the City, as well as a performance of his guitar quartet composition "Rising" by the UK guitar quartet.
Juan Calderon currently studies classical guitar with Mark D
Juan is also an avid cartoonist, collector of rare books and little cars, food adventurer and runner.
*** Lesson Details ***
Guitar teaching encompasses many disciplines. One has to be a bit of a psychologist in order to gauge a potential student needs and musical sensibilities. The mathematical aspect of musical notation and rhythm makes us part mathematicians. In the end, there is also a self-actualizing aspect to guitar teaching in the sense that we are always witness to those moments that made us decide a career on music.
During my years of guitar teaching I have encountered many types of students, and I have learned from them as much as they have learned from me as they make me question aspects of music that I would have never thought about. I have learned to not take for granted the definition of concepts such as rhythm and harmony, and to look at guitar technique from different perspectives as I find ways to accommodate to a student's capabilities. Ultimately, it is also a job that requires a lot of planning and structure. My first step, generally, is to assess the student's ability and interest to find material suitable for them. Then, I proceed to familiarize with the student's musical tastes and sensibilities to assign practice material accordingly. For example, if the student is interested in rock or pop music, we will work on a particular song that fits his level and also solves a particular technical problem. During that process I will answer any of the student's questions, and provide insight into musical terminology. We will also work on basic concepts of rhythm, melody, and harmony. My training as a composer and jazz guitarists also enables me to tap into the student's creative side. In that case, we would start with a basic blues progression and blues scales, and work on the basics of improvisation or songwriting.

About Marc
I am a classically trained guitarist that performs both as a soloist and for ensemble in a wide variety of styles. I graduated in 1996 from Schoolcraft College with an Associates degree in Music performance, and then, studying under the tutelage of Brian Roberts went on to receive my Bachelor's degree in Guitar Performance with a secondary in Jazz from Wayne State University in 2004. While at Wayne State and along the way I've performed and participated in several masterclasses with renowned artists: William Kanengiser, John Holmquest, Philip Candelaria, Jason Vieaux, Scott Tennant, and Antigoni Goni. I have also completed the teacher requirements for books 1-a and 1-b for the Suzuki Guitar Institute.
Many of my classical guitar and electric guitar students have went on to study further at the collegiate level, some achieving scholarships. My most recent students are current Berklee school of music graduates now in a band called "Flight of Fire", recently opened for Bonjovi this past summer and are getting air time on local radio stations... well on their way to living the dream! â¦the bulk of my students become full time professional musicians.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am an extremely patient person who has been teaching for over 20 years. I am laid back so there will be no pressure. With my electric and steel string guitar students, I host a special "Jam Session" 2 - 3 times a year to which will be one of your goals to participate in. This includes playing with a drummer, bassist, singer and another guitar player (usually me) and having it recorded. This should serve as your motivation to practice. This really eliminates the need for me to pull out a "yardstick" and "smack" your hands over the knuckles when not practicing your scales as many old traditional teachers may have done!
At your first lesson I will talk with you and give you examples of music that is played with a Flat-Pick, or music that uses the Finger-Style technique. This will be an important process as it will dictate which direction you will go in as a musician and especially during our lessons.
For the most part, playing with a Flat-Pick is generally used with the electric guitar and with most mainstream styles of music like "Rock and Roll", "Blues", "Rock-a-Billy" "Funk", and playing with the Finger-Style technique is used in styles like "Classical" and "Folk." After a while, I will introduce you to the other style of playing as well, as most great guitar players use both techniques in their playing...musicians (guitarists) such as: âJimmy Pageâ, âBrian Setzerâ, âStevie Ray Vaughanâ, âJoe Satrianiâ, âLindsey Buckinghamâ, âPaul McCartneyâ, âJohn Mayerâ, and many, many more.
To make learning the guitar Fun, I make sure to incorporate your main interest(s) first. Whether it be learning your new favorite song(s), learning how to write a song, or just learning some basics that you can use for when sitting around the campfire. This will be intertwined with which style you choose to start with: Flat-Pick or Finger-Style.
Pending on the level that you are starting at, (beginner, intermediate, advanced) I will include tidbits of music theory that will be used in a consistent manner. These will usually be progressive, pending on your level. For example, the songs you learn will be written out in an easy to understand chart that will have the fundamental aspects of theory (IE, chords, key, and rhythm pattern) that all musicians should understand.
With Children learning with a Flat-Pick, I encourage the use of a basic guitar instruction book.
Level One (beginners) :
"Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book One" by Will Schmid.
I will also use as a substitute for Level One:
"Alfred's Basic Guitar Method" by Alfred's Publishing Co.
More advanced players who can read music already (and graduates from book one) I prefer;
"Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book Two"
With Adults, I will ask if learning to read music interests you. It is a vital part of a practicing musician, but sometimes your needs may require a more one dimensional approach as time may be of essence. Again, I learned by ear and educated myself later...so I understand the person who wants to hold off on reading right away.
Students who want to learn the Classical (Finger-Style) approach will be encouraged to purchase a beginners book that I use written by one of my first instructors/mentor. It is a very intuitive book that covers the technique in great detail yet is very easy to understand (along with my help.) I will provide means of acquiring this book at your first lesson.
Students who want to learn the Folk (Finger-Style) approach will usually start in the above book, unless your an adult who just wants to learn some basics.
At your first lesson I will also provide you with documentation that goes more in depth about the various styles of guitar as the above info is scaled down.
*** Studio Equipment ***
-Guitars (Electric, Acoustic, Classical, Bass)
- PA (loud speakers so you can Turn it Up! When playing along)

*** Lesson Details ***
My approach to teaching music is strictly an individualized one, catering to the specific interests and goals of each student. I believe that if learning music is truly enjoyable and fun, students will develop a sincere love for their instrument. In teaching children, my emphasis is on instilling in them a love of music. While progressing in mus
I strive to make learning music fun, regardless of age, style, and ability. I organize an annual recital to showcase my students' talents and hard work.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide all music and instructional materials, and ask that students provide a clean, quiet area to hold our lesson, ideally with a music stand. I also ask that a student provide their own instrument. If providing an instrument is not possible, I ask that the student notify me so I can provide an instrument for them in the interim.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in a wide range of styles on the acoustic and electric guitar, piano, ukulele, and bass.
I explain music theory in a fun, clear, and articulate manner and show its benefits and application in song writing, learning music, and playing by ear. My extensive background in rock, classical, pop, folk, and jazz allows for a truly cater my instruction to my student's tastes.
I make it my mission to structure my lessons on my student's goals and interests and avoid imposing concepts that don't interest my students.

Inverted Murdoch
Artist Geoffrey Raymond poses with his painting of News Corp's CEO Rupert Murdoch, titled "Inverted Murdoch", in front of the NewsCorp building in New York in this August 3, 2011. Raymond, famous for his paintings of troubled Wall Street figures, has found his next muse in MF Global Holdings Ltd's Jon Corzine. Raymond told Reuters on November 3, 2011 that, after news broke of the former New Jersey governor's fallen firm, he went back to his studio in Troy, New York, painted a fresh coat of primer over an initial sketch of Bank of America Corp's Ken Lewis and now plans to use that canvas to paint Corzine.

Welcome to disasterpreparer.com
This website is dedicated to helping people to become better prepared. It has no advertisements and serves no political agenda. Neither does it attempt to scare you, since I firmly believe that preparing should be motivated out of love rather than fear. It lays out a case for the need to be prepared. The information presented here is directly from my book, the Handbook to Practical Disaster Preparedness for the Family, 3rd Edition.
To help get everyone on the same page, as well as illustrate the point of how merciless our world can be, let's start by defining the word "disaster." One succinct yet informative definition is given below.
disaster – a calamitous event, especially one occurring suddenly and causing great loss of life, damage, or hardship, such as a flood, airplane crash, or business failure.
The key words here are calamitous event, suddenly, great loss of life, damage, and hardship. None of which sound appealing, but particularly distressing when put together in a single sentence! When described in this way, it becomes clear why we are interested in mitigating the hardship caused by such a crisis.
Why bother preparing?
Why bother preparing? The short answer is that the world is not as safe as we would like to think. It is a chaotic system with limitless inputs and limitless outputs. Anything can happen. If you can remember those three simple words, it might help you along your way. Put them in your head and don't let them out. When someone asks you why you're going to such trouble to prepare for darker days, just tell them "anything can happen."
Life is wholly unpredictable. Ninety-nine percent of the time everything works great. The world spins like a top, the skies are clear, and your refrigerator is full of milk and cheese. But know with certainty that the world is a dangerous place. Storms rage, fires burn, and enemies attack. No one is ever completely safe. Not you. Not your children. Not the richest man alive. We all live as part of a very complex ecosystem that, at its core, is unpredictable and willing to kill us without remorse or pause.
Are you Prepared?
This website contains useful information, including a discussion of our basic needs that must be met in any disaster, a listing of the cornerstones to creating an effective preparedness plan, a checklist for an emergency auto kit, and a listing of relevant websites. It also allows you to purchase my books at the lowest price.

Automotive and diesel mechanics inspect, repair, and overhaul cars, buses and trucks. Although service technicians work on traditional mechanical systems, such as engines, transmissions, and drivebelts, they also must be familiar with a growing number of electronic systems. Braking, transmission, and steering systems are increasingly controlled by computer chips. Additionally, fuel injection and engine timing systems rely on microprocessors to maximize fuel efficiency and minimize harmful emissions.
Further, diesel service technicians and mechanics may work on a vehicle's electrical system, make major engine repairs, or retrofit engines with emission control systems to comply with pollution regulations. For example, they may use an oscilloscope to observe the signals produced by electronic components. After identifying malfunctioning equipment, service technicians repair and recalibrate components such as hydraulic pumps and spark plugs. Service technicians use many different tools, including power tools such as pneumatic wrenches, welding torches, and engine hoists. In fact, experienced workers literally may have several thousand dollars invested in their tool collection. Beyond major requirements within the department, you may consider Texas Tech University Earth sciences as a complementary elective.

The Story Project - Debbie's Story
Have you ever felt like life was out of control? That's how Debbie felt when told she had cancer. But God was by her side - I think you'll appreciate how He showed up in her life.
Last spring, we introduced you to some very special people through The Story Project. We're continuing this new tradition and over the next several weeks we will share more incredible stories of what God is doing in the lives of Positive Life Radio listeners. This week is Debbie's Story
In December of 2010, Debbie was diagnosed with cancer. During this time of decisions and loneliness, Debbie say's, "When everything else was out of my control ... the radio station was always playing songs that reminded me that God was still there...He cares and He is with me all the way through."

My 3 1/2 year old has been trying a balance bike without too much success and we really wanted to move up to something that she could at least participate with us on a bike trail. She's just over 3 feet and so we weren't sure if we should start with a 12" or 14" tire sized bike. The 16" is perfect. Dropped the seat all the way down and she is a speed demon around the house. She was able to cruise around the neighborhood without too much difficulty as long as it was flat. I think she will be able to hit it all in a couple months. I really think she will be able to use this bike for at least a few years. The training wheels are very easy to put on and take off without a tool. There is also a great "hand grip" on the back of the seat for "catching her" if she can't slow down. Great price for a Specialized too!
Best Uses
great first bike. we used it for learning to ride with pedals and breaks (coming from a Glide Bike) and even use it for the BMX track now. Worth the money on this bike.
Best Uses
I love the lightweight of this bike she can pick it up and move it easily and she only weighs in at 34lbs herself. I would have liked it to have come with a hand brake. This problem was easily delt with since this bike uses real bike parts unlike others. After seeing this bike my friends actually bought one for his daughter as well.
Best Uses
So while shopping for a bike for my daughter, I can across this bike. I actually cannot believe the quality. For not much more than another major brand, you get an aluminum frame, nice components, a handle on the seat for easy lifting, aluminum wheels, and an all around great bike. I could not belive how much better the quality was for not much more money. I wish it was styled a little better for a 16" bike to appeal to my 5 yr old better, but it was an exact replica of the full-sized bike. I guess that would be good if you had multiple kids or a girl the wants to be like a big kid. Me - I have to buy the aftermarket streamers to make the bike more youthful. I could not have been more impressed with this bike. A little pricy but well worth it.

In the wake of a string of injuries and Friday's physical practice, coach Jim Harbaugh apparently had seen enough. Harbaugh stopped practice with about 40 minutes remaining Sunday and ordered cornerback Chris Culliver out of a drill following his hit on wideout David Reed.
Harbaugh reminded his team to not make unnecessary hits, to play clean and to support each other.
Culliver angrily headed to the sideline, where he watched the remainder of practice. But Harbaugh walked with him to the locker room and Culliver calmly listened as the coach talked during that 30-second stroll, ending with Harbaugh opening the door for him and other players.
Culliver has lined up all camp as the first-string right cornerback and is slated to start for the first time in his four-year career. Coming off a knee injury that sidelined him all of last season, he's looked fine, and judging from his actions Sunday, he still has that competitive edge that helped him serve as the nickel back in 2011-12.
Several veteran leaders came to talk with Culliver after he got ejected from the 11-on-11 session, including Vernon Davis, NaVorro Bowman, Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks.
— With Glenn Dorsey (left biceps) out, Mike Purcell took first-team snaps at nose tackle.
— Quinton Dial lined up as the second-string nose tackle and crushed Alfonso Smith in the back field for a would-be loss. Dial has been a physical presence daily, in a very good way.
— Defensive tackle Tony Jerod-Eddie planted right tackle Jonathan Martin on his keister in one-on-one blocking.
— Defensvie tackle Tank Carradine needs to cut down on mental mistakes, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said.
— Wideout Anquan Boldin, ejected from Friday's practice for fighting Darryl Morris, caught at least five passes in the opening hour of practice and looked unfazed by last practice's exit. On one play, Boldin caught a 20-yard pass from Colin Kaepernick against Jimmie Ward's coverage.
— Offensive play of the day: Rookie wideout Bruce Ellington appeared to tweak an ankle when he collided with Morris on a sideline catch. But Ellington came back shortly thereafter to snag a 40-yard bomb from Josh Johnson against Dontae Johnson's coverage for a would-be touchdown.
— Defensive play of the day: Safety D.J. Campbell made a last-second swipe to knock down a potential touchdown catch by Vance McDonald in the back of the end zone. Campbell came dangerously close to landing his head on the goal post.
— Carlos Hyde had an exhausting practice, seeing the majority of reps at running back and picking up the slack in place of the injured LaMichael James (right elbow) and Kendall Hunter (knee).
Frank Gore did see some carries, as did Jewel Hampton and Alofonso Smith, but Hyde really was in there a lot to get ready for his exhibition debut. Hyde caught a 20-yard bullet from Kaepernick on a route Hyde said he ran in the Orange Bowl for Ohio State.
— Interceptions galore: The defense intercepted four passes, perhaps their most all camp. Jimmie Ward had his second of camp, and the others came from Demarcus Dobbs, D.J. Campbell and Perrish Cox. Warm-ups concluded with Eric Reid picking off Blaine Gabbert (see: video).
— Captain TD, er, Torpedo: Vernon Davis broke free for a 40-yard touchdown catch of a pass by Colin Kaepernick against Nick Moody's coverage.
— Kap Count: The stat line doesn't look pretty (11-of-18, 2 interceptions) but Kaepernick completed a couple passes in tight windows and has had a positive camp.
— Health watch: Safety C.J. Spillman did not practice and instead did individual conditioning while wearing a breathing mask for unknown reasons. … Wideouts Michael Crabtree (hamstring) and Brandon Lloyd (undisclosed) did not practice. … Linebacker Nick Moody returned after missing Friday's session. … Defensive linemen Demarcus Dobbs was back in action, having tended to a personal matter last week. … Center Marcus Martin (ankle) took second-team snaps and linebacker Aaron Lynch (hamstring) got into team drills for the first time. … Defensive tackles Justin Smith (shoulder) and Ray McDonald (undisclosed) remain out, along with right tackle Anthony Davis (shoulder), cornerback Tramaine Brock (undisclosed) and running back LaMichael James (right elbow).

As baseball players are traded, bought, or signed as free agents, they leave behind homes and need new ones. Consequently, real estate markets from Boston to San Diego are awash each spring in high-end homes for sale belonging to departing and arriving Yankees, Dodgers, and Braves.
Not all players' homes are mansions and penthouses—the following properties owned by 300-300 club members, Hall of Famers, and a 12-time All-Star and a 21-season veteran include at least one ranch house. All but one, however, appeared on TopTenRealEstateDeals.com's annual list of Luxurious MLB Homes, starting off with a timely addition from one of New York's most prominent longtime Yankees.

Inspiration Gallery: Laundry Rooms
When I'm schlepping my dirty whites and darks down to the laundromat, I tend to daydream about having my own room for such tasks. Some day, I think, I'll have one organized and good-looking enough that I will want to do laundry. Here are a few inspiring examples that don't sacrifice functionality or style.
Nothing says "this is the room for clean things" like crisp, bright white (Images 1, 2, 6, 10). Sometimes, though, a little more color is on order, like the punch of aqua in Image 4 or yellow in Image 8.
These rooms stayed organized with hampers, cabinets, and shelving. Images 9 shows how useful fabric can be in masking something like plumbing. Similarly, in Image 5, curtains help hide the washer and dryer when the laundry room is really just an alcove.

Matchstick Men, directed by Ridley Scott, was
released in 2003 and is based on the book by Eric Garcia called
Matchstick Men: A novel about Grifters with Issues. It is
a film about confidence tricksters in which the main protagonist, a
con artist called Roy, is convincingly played by Nicolas Cage as a
man who suffers from Tourette's syndrome and obsessive-compulsive
disorder. There are two themes in this film that run alongside each
other: a clever story of conmen, filled with the expected twists
and an impressive final 'sting', and a deeply personal tale of a
man struggling to cope with serious mental illness who is
challenged by the appearance of a teenage daughter he didn't know
For anyone who hasn't yet seen the film and doesn't
want the plot revealed, please do not read on until viewing it.
Matchstick Men opens with Roy, at home,
suffering with his numerous obsessive compulsive symptoms, which
take the form of a need for order and cleanliness and a compulsion
to open and close doors three times, whilst counting aloud, before
he can walk through them. His Tourette's syndrome consists of a
facial tic involving mostly his left eye and audible grunting. In
the following scenes, we watch Roy and his partner in crime, Frank,
play out a 'short con' on an unsuspecting housewife. Roy is exposed
to bright sunlight, when a door is opened to her garden, which
triggers an increase in his facial tics, grunts and then the onset
of a panic attack.
Roy takes regular medication for his symptoms, but
despite this treatment he lives a lonely life and seems unable to
act on a clear attraction, apparently reciprocated, toward a
cashier at his local supermarket. Although Frank is seen to be
generally supportive and tolerant of Roy's symptoms, he
occasionally finds pleasure in upsetting him by deliberately
defying his need for cleanliness. Matchstick Men creates a
tremendous tone of anxiety for the viewer in the scenes in which
Roy struggles to control his world. His smoking, an attempt to self
medicate, increases as he becomes more stressed and anxious and is
at times almost unbearable to watch, especially in the confined
space of his car.
When Roy accidentally loses the remaining supply of
his psychiatric medication down the waste disposal unit of his
sink, a comic element is briefly added to the film, soon followed
by Roy's horror and despair when he finds that the doctor, who was
supplying them illegally, has moved away. Without medication, his
symptoms worsen, such that Frank arranges for him to see a
psychiatrist he knows called Dr Klein. In the first meeting with Dr
Klein, Roy begs for just a few tablets. Dr Klein refuses and
insists on a proper assessment, during which Roy reveals that he
has been without an intimate partner since leaving his wife almost
15 years before and that his wife had been pregnant when they
parted. Roy, uncertain as to whether he had been the father of the
baby, becomes curious to know whether he now has a 14 year-old
child. Dr Klein supplies Roy with some different pills, that he
believes will help him to feel much better, and says he will
contact his ex-wife on his behalf. The new pills appear to help
improve all of Roy's symptoms. After learning that has a daughter,
called Angela, who would really like to meet him, Roy is challenged
by his newfound role as her father and his obsessive-compulsive
disorder is tested to its limits by her visits to his house. As he
struggles to cope with a messy teenager in his life he also becomes
aware of the positive emotional effect that she is having in his
sterile life. Faced with the dilemma of whether he should tell her
the reality about his work, she makes some discoveries in his home,
which force him into telling her the truth.
As Angela learns about her father's real profession
and the amount of money that he has made from it, she asks to learn
the trade from him. Wanting to keep her presence in his life, he
reluctantly agrees. Caught up in the wish to please Angela, he
reluctantly teaches her how to carry out a simple 'con', but forces
her to return the money to the victim after it has been
successfully completed. Frank, by this stage, has persuaded
Roy to carry out a 'long con' with him, that promises to extort a
much larger sum of money from a businessman that Frank has met.
Contrary to Roy's wishes, Angela becomes involved in the final part
of the operation, which goes very wrong. On returning home, Roy and
Angela find the business man holding Frank hostage and he requests
all of the money that Roy has in the house. When Angela goes to get
the money, she returns with a gun and shoots the businessman. Frank
and Angela drive away at Roy's request before he receives an
unexpected blow to the head from the businessman. As Roy wakes up
in a hospital bed, he is questioned by police officers, but refuses
to answer anything until he can see his psychiatrist. When Dr Klein
arrives at his bedside he whispers the pass code for his bank vault
box and asks that it be given to his daughter. It is only when Dr
Klein has left and no one else returns that Roy gets up and opens
his hospital room to reveal that he is on the roof top of a tall
building and is himself the victim of an audacious sting carried
out by Frank, with the help of a fake daughter, psychiatrist and
businessman. However, one year later, after having lost all of his
money, Roy has found love and marriage with the cashier, who is now
pregnant with their first child. He is also honestly employed as a
carpet salesman and suffers far fewer symptoms.
The subject of OCD has been covered in my
previous Minds on Film blog about
The Aviator and I would refer readers, wanting more
information about OCD, to that post. In the character of Roy, there
is ample opportunity to examine the day-to-day effect that
obsessive-compulsive disorder might have on an individual and their
relationships. However, Matchstick Men also introduces
viewers to one of the conditions commonly associated with OCD,
Tourette's syndrome. This is a neurological condition characterised
by involuntary, random sounds and movements, known as tics, which
usually begins in childhood. It is thought that up to 60% of
children with Tourette's syndrome develop OCD. The tics are often
used to relieve uncomfortable feelings or sensations and many
people are unaware of their tics. In Roy's case his tics and grunts
are seen to be closely linked to his level of anxiety, something
that is well recognised in sufferers generally. His vulnerability
at the hands of others reminds us of the predicament that many
people with mental illness live with. It is only when Roy has
abandoned his stressful life of crime and finds a meaningful loving
relationship, that he is able to overcome the most distressing
symptoms of both of his disorders.
There is excellent information about all aspects of
Tourette's syndrome at the
NHS Choices website, including a
discussion about the
co-morbidity with OCD and ADHD, and
further advice is available at the website of the charity Tourettes
Action. Medication does have a role
in treating some of the symptoms of Tourette's syndrome and there
are three types of drugs that may be used: alpha2-adrenergic
agonists; muscle relaxants and neuroleptics. Behaviour therapy is
the widely used non-pharmacological treatment of choice, which can
be used alone or with drugs depending on the severity of the
symptoms. Through using relaxation and a technique called habit
reversal many people with Tourette's syndrome are enabled to manage
their symptoms better.
I would highly recommend Matchstick Men to
anyone interested in working in Adult Mental Health, whether in
psychiatry, psychiatric nursing, psychology or in any of the
branches of psychotherapy.

There are limits to what grown-ups can do to stop all of this, but teaching vigilant hand washing and proper sneezing (into the elbow, not the hand or your teacher's face) and keeping sick kids home are proven measures to lower the transmission of illness.
Sick little buggers, those children. A sk any parent of a preschooler or kindergartner, and they�ll tell you: They bring everything home with them.
And it isn�t just because they do gross kid things, either. Children are hard-wired to spread disease. Their bodies �shed� viruses for far longer than adults� do, long after they�ve been sick themselves, said Dr. Dennis Cunningham, physician director for epidemiology and infection control at Nationwide Children�s Hospital.
A baby who has had a cold can give that cold to someone else for about a month after the symptoms stop. Grown-ups typically stop shedding germs after their symptoms go away, he said. And once they�r e interacting with others at day care or school, the problem just grows as they spread colds, flu and intestinal bugs to their peers.
�Young kids may not share their toys, but they sure share their germs,� Cunningham said.
There are limits to what grown-ups can do to stop all of this, but teaching vigilant hand washing and proper sneezing (into the elbow, not the hand or your teacher�s face) and keeping sick kids home are proven measures to lower the transmission of illness.
Sick or recently sick kids should especially be kept away from others who are fragile, including people with severe asthma or those undergoing chemotherapy.
At the Columbus YWCA�s child-care programs, hand-washing is a big part of every day, and program director Jenn Hannah is proud to say that kids in the school-year program seem to get sick a lot less than others in their classes.
The kids wash before they eat, after they eat, after the restroom, after the gym and after they come in from outside.
They even use peer pressure on each other if they�ve fallen short on a good, solid hand-washing. (You should use plenty of soap and water and get through the ABC song before you quit, Hannah explained.)
The programs also make sure to sanitize toys and tables.
And, �If we see lots of yucky stuff going around, the Clorox wipes come out,� Hannah said.
The other key to prevention is vaccination, said Dr. Teresa Long, Columbus� health commissioner.
She and Cunningham have pushed for better vaccination coverage in school-age kids and have brought flu vaccine to the schools to encourage more protection in that group.
The H1N1 pandemic drove home the fact that young people could be severely sickened by flu, even die from it.
And experts have long worried about youngsters bringing illnesses, including flu, home to their most-vulnerable family members, including infants, grandparents and people with illnesses that weaken their immune systems.
Outside of schools and day-care settings � including in restaurants and stores � parents need to stay on top of good hygiene, Cunningham said.
That can mean giving kids a lift to reach the soap and water and making sure they still get in a good washing even if they�re struggling at an adult-size sink, he said.
In 2010, more than half of infectious disease outbreaks in Columbus were linked to schools or child-care centers, Long said.
This year, it�s about 40 percent so far.
Pertussis, or whooping cough, has been a top concern in recent years as several outbreaks have been documented in schools.

Hi Midget
as noted above, I have suggested yesterday four nested foreach loops in my answer to your cross post on the DevShed forum:
And I believe it is probably the best solution: clean, easy to read, easy to understand and efficient.
For the fun of it, however, let me suggest a kind of "Schwartzian" solution, which could also be called a "Lisp written in Perl" solution (or Scheme, or Haskell, or whatever functional language written in Perl):
(I have added spaces between the fields to make the output easier to read.) This prints (I copy only the beginning and the end of the 240-line printout):
The beauty (and fun) of this solution is of course that it holds in just one line of code (in pure Perl, without using a module to do the work behind the scene).
There are a number of downsides to this solution, however: first, it is far less easy to understand, it is actually hardly readable. Even though I just wrote it, I am not sure how I would explain it to make it clearly understandable.
To tell the truth, it was also a bit complicated for me to write it: it took me about 3 minutes to write the foreach nested loops above (which I did not even need to test), and and it took me slightly more than half an hour to get the nested map function calls to work correctly. So, in brief, this was just for the fun, I do not recommend this solution.
