Infection control is important because it is the best way that we can prevent the spread of many common contagious diseases. The following piece discusses effective methods of infection control, particularly with regard to schools and daycare centers.
What are infections?
How do we get infections?
What is the best way to wash your hands for proper infection control?
How long do you need to wash your hands for good infection control?
When should you wash your hands to prevent infection?
What are the best ways to control the spread of infections in schools?
When do children need to be excluded from day care or school in order to help with infection control?
Infections are caused by germs within our bodies that shouldn't be there. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites are all different categories of germs which each cause different types of infections.
|Viruses - These influenza virus particles or "virions" cause the contagious respiratory illness known as flu.
|Bacteria - E. coli 0157:H7 can cause foodborne illness, bloody diarrhea, kidney failure, and sometimes death.
Fungi - This fungus, Penicillium marneffei, usually affects those with AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy.
|Parasites - Giardia lamblia infection can occur from contaminated water, food, or by the fecal-oral route.
Viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites can be spread when a sick person coughs into the air or by touching that person's secretions (urine, runny nose, cough, and diarrhea). Drinking or eating after an ill person or handling items that they have touched are common ways you can come into contact with these secretions. When the germ particles enter your body, they can cause you to have an infection.
Since MOST infections are spread by touch, washing your hands before touching another person is one of the best ways to help stop the spread of infections. However, it is important to wash your hands even when you are not feeling sick because most germs are actually transmitted a few days BEFORE you start feeling sick.
The Henry the Hand Campaign seeks to educate the public on 4 important principles of good hand-washing that help to reduce the spread of infections:
1) WASH your hands when they are dirty and BEFORE eating.
2) DO NOT cough into your hands.
3) DO NOT sneeze into your hands.
4) DO NOT put your fingers into your eyes, nose or mouth.
(Source:http:// http://www.henrythehand.com/)
** Regular soap and water are best. Antibacterial soaps are not necessary if you have spent enough time (at least 20 seconds) cleaning your hands with regular soap and water.
The answer is 20 seconds. Singing a song like "Happy Birthday" twice while cleaning your hands with soap and water helps to assure that you have spent the correct amount of time required to actually kill the germs on your hands.
1. Before preparing or eating food
2. After going to the bathroom
3. After changing diapers
4. Before and after tending to someone who is sick
5. After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
6. After handling animal waste
7. After handling garbage
8. Before and after treating a cut or wound
(Source: http://www.cdc.gov/cleanhands/)
School attendance is important. However, sick children in crowded schools can also lead to the spread of infections to healthy children. The following guidelines are noted by the American Academy of Pediatrics for schools regarding infection control:
1. Immunizations. Although specific laws vary by state, most states require proof of protection against:
For a list of mandatory immunizations by state that are required to attend school and/or daycares see the following websites: www.immunize.org/laws or www.cdc.gov/other.htm#states. Policies established by each state's health department about exclusions of un-immunized children and exemptions for children with certain underlying medical conditions and families with religious or philosophic objection to immunization should be followed.
2. Infected children should be excluded from school until they no longer are considered contagious. (For recommendations, see When do children need to be excluded from day care or school in order to help with infection control? in next section.)
3. In some instances, administration of appropriate antibiotics to the sick child will limit further spread of infection (for example, antibiotics for streptococcal throat infection and antibiotics for pertussis or 'whooping cough').
4. Appropriate antibiotic prevention should be given to close contacts of children with infections caused by specific pathogens (for example, close contacts of a child diagnosed with meningococcal bacterial meningitis).
5. Temporary school closing can be used in limited circumstances:
**In all circumstances requiring intervention to prevent spread of infection within the school setting, the privacy of children who are infected should be protected.
(Source for above school recommendations: School Health Section, American Academy of Pediatrics Red Book 2006: pages 145-146)
Mild illness is common among children. Most children will not need to be excluded from school or their usual source of care for mild respiratory tract illnesses because transmission is likely to have occurred before symptoms developed in the child. Disease may occur as a result of contact with children who have no symptoms of infection. The risk of illness can be decreased by following appropriate hand washing procedures on a routine basis.
However, during the course of an identified outbreak of any communicable illness in a childcare setting or school, a child determined to be contributing to transmission of organisms causing the illness may be excluded. In general, the child may be readmitted when the risk of transmission is determined no longer to be present.
Children should be kept out of the childcare setting or school for the following:
Most minor illnesses do not constitute a reason for excluding a child from childcare. Examples of illnesses and conditions that do not necessitate exclusion include the following:
Asymptomatic children with mild loose stools usually do not need to be excluded, except when an infection with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli or with Shigella species has occurred in the child care program or school. Because these infections are transmitted easily and can be severe, exclusion is warranted until results of 2 stool cultures are negative for the organism.

Distrust between the federal and state governments is putting $20.5 billion of economic benefits from competition and red tape reforms at risk.
Two reports by the COAG Reform Council, released ahead of Friday's meeting in Canberra between the premiers and Prime Minister Julia Gillard, found while there had been progress on some reforms, work on areas such as energy, workplace safety and secondary education was falling behind.
COAG Reform Council chief Paul McClintock, who is retiring from the role, doesn't believe partisan politics is responsible for stalling the reforms but says trust started to break down during the debate over hospital funding.
He said the issue of electricity prices and energy reform on the agenda for this week's COAG meeting would be crucial to the future of co-operation.
"It will be interesting to look at how the energy issue is faced this coming week," Mr McClintock told reporters in Canberra ahead of the release of the reports on Tuesday.
"That will, I think, depend a lot upon whether there is trust between the various members of COAG to say 'This is something we can do together,' or people are going to play politics with this.
"There has been a long period where there has been a growing level of suspicion between the governments ... it's at a really disappointing level."
A recent survey by Griffith University found that 89 per cent of people had a negative view of the way governments worked together.
Mr McClintock said some of the blame could be laid at the feet of the political parties. He suggested every party should take a "federalism" policy to the election.
"We are at a bit of a crossroads and Australians are losing faith quite quickly in the ability of governments to work together," he said.
"We need to stand back and say it's not good enough."
Mr McClintock said that of the areas covered by the Seamless National Economy (SNE) agenda started in 2008, 26 out of 49 areas of reform had been completed.
But the council had concerns about 15, which were overdue or at risk of delay, and eight that were in danger of not being completed.
Mr McClintock said the SNE areas most at risk of falling over included occupational health and safety, mine safety, directors' liabilities, chemicals and plastics, and energy.
The second report, on the overall COAG reform agenda, put a figure of $20.5 billion in 2012 dollar terms on the benefits from competition and regulatory reforms.
Of the 30 key reform areas, three had been completed, 11 were on track and 13 were likely to be completed but may not meet their deadlines, it said.
Mr McClintock said improving the quality of high school education was one of the areas that most worried him, along with the cost of health care and affordability of housing.
A study of the reforms showed that two-thirds of the changes that had "reward funding" attached were on track to be completed.
Mr McClintock said Friday's COAG meeting should be used as an opportunity to breathe new life into talks on energy reform, especially a national rollout of smart meters - which enable consumers to take advantage of price savings for on- and off-peak power use.
He said some of the reforms could be done by the states talking without the commonwealth's involvement.

Your weight loss efforts will succeed or fail based largely on your food environment. Start the day with breakfast, and serve yourself smaller portions. Cook your own meals, and control what goes into the recipe. Restaurant and packaged foods generally contain a lot more sodium, fat, and calories than home-cooked meals. As everyone knows, hospital meals are overly bland intentionally. Create a shopping list and stick to it, and be especially careful to avoid foods at the ends of the aisles and along the checkout stands, where grocers tend to sell high-calorie snack and convenience foods.
In addition to your food and eating-related choices, you can also support your weight loss and dieting efforts by making healthy lifestyle choices, without resorting to extremes such as gastric-bypass surgery. As lack of sleep has been shown in clinical trials to have a direct link to hunger and overeating, get plenty of sleep every night. Exhaustion also impairs your judgment, which can lead to poor nutrition choices. Finally, get more exercise. It not only burns calories, but can actually improve your resting metabolism. Medical research shows that three 10-minute spurts of exercise per day are just as good as one 30-minute workout. Beyond degree major requirements, you may consider Clark University double majors as a complementary elective.

From Here to Eternity
Let's be honest: an all-singing adaptation of James Jones's sprawling novel 'From Here to Eternity' sounds like an cataclysmically daft idea. But in actual fact, Tim Rice's first new musical in 13 years very nearly works.
Following the lives, loves and, uh, violent deaths of a group of GIs posted to Hawaii in 1941, Jones's semi-autobiographical story really isn't jazz-hands stuff. But first-time West End director Tamara Harvey's ruggedly masculine production strikes an appropriately gritty tone. With Rice and collaborator Stuart Brayson's bluesy, percussive songs, the roiling bass rhythms of the soldiers' voices and Soutra Gilmour's stark, semi-derelict sets, there is little frivolous about the show.
Crucially, it has a magnetic lead in Robert Lonsdale's enigmatic loner Private Robert E Lee Prewitt. He could be a brooding cliché, but in his first musical role, Lonsdale hits the right balance between hero, dickhead and vulnerable young man. And he has a fascinating voice, not a million miles away from Jack White's bluesy yelp – he injects paint-stripper intensity to the show's stronger numbers.
The elephant in the room is the 1953 film. For the most part, the leads escape the shadows of their screen counterparts, most notably Ryan Sampson, whose Private Angelo Maggio is drastically different to Frank Sinatra's – puny, pugnacious and fluid of sexuality, there are intriguing shades of Chelsea Manning in his portrayal.
However, the movie's iconic image, of Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster doing it in the Oahu surf, hangs off the show like a dead weight. Clearly Rice and co felt the scene's inclusion was crucial. But they don't seem particularly enthusiastic about it, and the sub plot about upstanding Sergeant Milt Warden having it off with the lonely wife of his commanding officer feels clangingly half-baked.
Blandly affable Darius Campbell and pouting Rebecca Thornhill struggle to inject interest into poorly sketched characters, lumbering ballads and an asinine love story. You can't help but feel that everyone involved knows the only point of the whole romance is the arse-baring love scene that closes the first half.
Even without them, it'd still be flawed: the many perfunctory deaths feel poorly suited to the musical format – it feels weird that a key character can literally die without anybody making a song and dance about it.
In a strong year for new musicals, 'From Here to Eternity' is nothing like the best. But it's a spunky effort from Rice and Harvey, and certainly more interesting than anything Rice's erstwhile writing partner Andrew Lloyd Webber has mustered in recent times. If nothing else, the gauntlet is convincingly thrown down for Lloyd Webber's 'Stephen Ward', which opens in a couple of months.

Did not enjoy this much. Story line was poor and could have been in any setting. Good effort from the actors but could have been better.
I loved this musical, though I think we were very lucky to get the understudy for Sergeant Warden, who from the videos we have seen, the understudy was a better age and weight for his part. Though the first half was a little slow, as far as we could tell that was an effect and was meant to be there. The first half was also a lot more inappropriate and probably should have been rated a lot more than 13+ but gave a good introduction to the story and characters. On the whole, the second half was largely emotional and featured a lot of crying on my part. Everything could be seen easily and Lonsdale is an incredibly talented man, being able to sing incredibly, and can sing whilst dancing, jumping, holding the plank and playing the guitar. He can also act incredibly and play the bugle. Definitely worth going to see.
Did not enjoy this musical at all. I felt like I was watching a slightly more advanced version of a high-school musical!!! No-one was really believable in their roles and there was not one memorable song in the entire production. I could have sworn the reviews I read when I booked were better than what I am reading now which is really surprising (and annoying!!)
P.S. in this 33 people show, the only two actors I would say good are, 1, Siubhan Harrison (played Laurence), she is the only one who can properly sing in a musical, but a concert. In the whole terribly boring 2 hours and 40mins, only her 5mins solo singing made me finally think ok I am seeing a musical. She sings great, with all emotions and role's thought inside her voice and beautifully expressed, very touchable. 2, Laurence's lover, the soldier (Sorry I can't remember his name), he is probably not the best singer but he is the best actor in this show. The others, Rebecca is a beauty but I think that playing film suits her better (and best in 1950s' Hollywood film), her singing is far too simple and no acting skills inside the voice; she was just singing a song, not the character's heart. The rest supporting roles are making me feeling watching a drama school's training course, sorry, but they are all good enough, compared with such a horrible play.
I can't bear this so-called play at all, nearly want to run away even before the play ended. Just before I thought it couldn't be worse, the playwright proved I was wrong: the final 10 mins was even worse or the worst show I have ever seen in west end. To me the first 2 hour 30 mins was unbearable but still can be looked as a musical or dance or single show----any but a play, however the final 10 mins made it a complete disaster. Apart from Disaster, such word, there is nothing else I could use to describe I am afraid. The musical I would rate it 3 stars however the terrible end worth 1 star only, so overall 2 stars. And the 3 stars only goes to those poor actor and actress----they are all good and professional but they had to play such a play, poor them.
We enjoyed the show and loved the costumes and hair styles! The cast put in lots of effort - some of the performers were stronger than others. Overall it was an enjoyable afternoon but I wouldn't be telling everyone it is a must-see. To be fair, I haven't seen the film and I'm not usually a fan of musicals so it probably would have had to be exceptional to get 5 stars from me!
Not appropriate language for my 14 year old daughter -- I wish I'd read a review that shared this information. The song lyrics and stage action was rather crude at times. The sets were not impressive, costumes were era appropropriate, lead male's voice rather weak, the "narrator" male lead was very good, and the female leads were good. There was nothing truly exceptional about this show -- not the muic, book, sets, correography, etc. It lacked any "Wow factor". We'd give it 2 stars at best. Very average. We wont be recommending this show to anyone -- there are too many better shows in the West End..
Didn't know what to expect from not having seen the film but really enjoyed the show. Every single performer gave it there all and personally, I felt captivated in the story and scenes. There was six of us who went together and all thought it was fantastic staging, score and acting. There were half full seats in the theatre when we saw this during the week. It was a shame because compared to a lot of good shows in the west end, it's definitely up there. Personally I appreciate the great performances given that night, because despite the half empty room, it was still top standard theatre.
A beautiful story, adapted in a nice musical. Our seats were quite well located and we could enjoy the show.
I was not sure what to expect and booked tickets having read some press reviews. Apart from some poor lighting in some scenes the show was very enjoyable. The cast work very hard despite and it must be very hard playing to a half full audience. The score and singing was very good. Overall we enjoyed the show and had a very enjoyable evening.
What a shame as there are some very good parts in the show, particularly the score and Robert Lonsdale's performance.Some of the direction is terrible, the worst I have ever seen in the West End.It seems as if the production team could not decide on the type of show they wanted to do - a narrative 'South Pacific' type or a more abstract one and the result is a bit of a mess with good songs thrown in.Darius Cambell is so wooden he is embarassing, especially when emerging from a closet in women's clothes, what was the director thinking of? The book is weak and some of the numbers do not make sense - why is the ensemble writing postcards home at the back of the stage when the romantic leads are downstage re enacting the beach scene?The set did not convey 1940's Hawaii to me and the back projections are, frankly, amateurish. A strong guiding hand such as Cameron Mackintosh was needed to give a consistent approach and, in my opinion, a sung through approach such as 'Miss Saigon' would have worked much better.
Energetic, old fashioned, and a bit of a mess. That said, very enjoyable and some cracking numbers and performances throughout (Darius is actually pretty good, and Ryan Sampson makes the show). The staging and choreography are excellent. The music is okay, a bit plodding sometimes, but there are a few good numbers in there. Rice's lyrics are fine. The book needs work and to be honest this show probably could have done with a few months outside of London removing some of the fat (needs about 20 mins and quite a few numbers cut). So close...I've given it four stars but I would prefer to give it 3 and a half.
Time Out's review is accurate. This show is nearly an absolute belter. The score is strong, especially in the second half, the cast good (Lonsdale is excellent) and some of the choreography is fantastic. But the flaws are pretty big: the first half drags, the Warden/Karen love story is flat as a pancake and there are some bizarre staging choices. At least two big numbers are hopelessly broken up by chat and 'plot' that just confuse. But it's got bigger balls than every new musical this year (including The Commitments). If you can't stand the 'family' shows plaguing the West End then give it a shot. One for grown-ups.
Never have I seen a worse acted musical. The leads are wooden, the script is vulgar and the music forgettable. Save you money
A sensational new show and wonderful story full of live, love and loss. Fantastic performances by a slick, super-pro cast and many memorable songs which you leave humming. A grown up musical for anyone craving something more, and plenty of eye candy too. Overall a great night out, don't forget the tissues!
Loved it!!!
Boring, dated and dull only good thing about the show was the guy playing Prewitt And Darius Campbell, but the show and songs let them down - dismal. The plug needs to be pulled sharpish.
Always hard transferring book to stage, especially into a musical, not a bad job,early days and needs to be given a chance. Pace a little slow at times and felt a little uncomfortable watching a couple of scenes. Music and singing was really good and has a couple of stars in the making who I haven't seen before. Overall a good evening out.
No terrible, but not 'all that' either.. A rather flat storyline and I sat feeling like it was going to take off, but it never quite did. No memorable songs, or singers and in parts a bit too cringy for my tates.

Northwestern Energy to Purchase PPL Montana Hydroelectric Plants for $900 Million Dollars – Deal Includes Kerr Dam
Northwestern Energy announced on Thursday, September 26, that an agreement has been reached with PPL Montana to purchase 11 of their hydroelectric facilities for a price of nearly $900 million dollars.
Northwestern Energy spokesman Butch Larcombe said the electricity generating facilities are located throughout the state.
"We have reached an agreement with PPL to buy their hydro assets in Montana, which consist of 11 hydroelectric generating dams and one storage reservoir on the Missouri and Madison and Clark Fork and Flathead rivers, so it is exciting news," Larcombe said.
Northwestern Energy has been primarily in the power distribution business, however Larcombe said this was a golden opportunity for the company to purchase electric generating facilities, such as the Kerr Dam located on the Flathead River near Polson.
"This was a real good opportunity for us to buy some clean, sustainable generating facilities that we think will serve our customers for decades to come," Larcombe said. "PPL is the major owner of the Colstrip plants in Eastern Montana, and they sell electricity to big customers. We have bought electricity from PPL, but they're a totally different operation, and they're part of a company out of Pennsylvania."
Larcombe said the $900 million price tag for the dams and facilities was high, but explained why the investment was worthwhile.
"It's important to remember that PPL has been a good owner of these properties," Larcombe said. "They've invested more that $400 million in the dams in recent years. We think they're in a position to be very solid performers for years to come."
Larcombe said Northwestern Energy would be seeking approval for the acquisition from several state and federal agencies.
"The key piece of approval will come from the Montana Public Service Commission," Larcombe said. "We like this deal, and we're optimistic about our chances to convince the commissioners that it's a good deal for Montana consumers, as well."
Larcombe said the approval process will begin in December, and he expects the entire process to be wrapped up in nine months to a year.

GameDay Vision
This is a logo for our company and for a consumer product both with the same name - GameDay Vision. We are a young company with a new product that will revolutionize the way fans experience professional sporting events. We will be selling the device for NFL games THIS season and hope to be in all other sports very soon. While at an NFL game, fans will be able to see instant replays from multiple camera angels (End Zone, 50 Yard line etc); stats from current game; scoreboard & individual stats of all other NFL games; real-time performance of fantasy team; the NFL RedZone; other NFL games being played; highlights of the game being watched; network and in-stadium live action feeds. It gives fans Special Access that they can't get at home or on the internet. We want to make going to the game as exciting as watching Monday Night Football.
The company has been around for a few years under the name Kangaroo TV but we are in the process of changing our name to GameDay Vision.
If you go to the existing website click on the box that says "Gen III" or "Dolphins" to see the device that will be used in the NFL this year.
This device is for sports fans. Initially it will just be used in the NFL but in the next few years we are hoping to expand to all other sports. The market will be those people who are season ticket holders or who go to a few games a year. The device can be used by people of all ages but we think that it will be mostly men from 18-40 that will initially buy the device. Could also be a great gift for Dad, uncle, husband, boyfriend. The fan will not be opposed to bringing another device with them to the games and will not be scared off by the new technology. Some people will be complete sports nuts who want to know what is happening with every player in every game while others just want to be able to watch their other favorite team.
We do not want an icon or symbol, rather want to stick to just using the words "GameDay Vision" in an interesting type/font/colors. We want the GameDay to be one word and to have the "G", "D" and "V" capitalized. GameDay and Vision do not have to be on the same line. We want it to look serious but interesting and fun. This logo will go on business cards, website, email blasts, packaging etc. In addition, the logo will go onto the device. Please see the attachment to see where on the device it will go and the size. I do not necessarily have a concept in mind but have thought about the following:
I liked the following fonts because they look a bit like "old school" sports font; however, I am not stuck on this idea.
http://new.myfonts.com/search/life (search "life after college")
One possibility that I liked is the NBC Sports logo without the peacock at the top (please do not copy)

Palermo have announced the signings of Diego Fabbrini, Alejandro Faurlin and Mauricio Sperduti, as the end to the transfer market looms.
The Serie A strugglers completed the coup for highly-rated youngster and Italy international Fabbrini from Udinese, while Faurlin arrives on loan to add options to the Rosanero's midfield from QPR.
Argentina international winger Mauricio Sperduti arrives from Newell's Old Boys, meanwhile.
"Palermo announces it has reached an arrangement with Newell's Old Boys for the acquisition of Mauricio Sperduti," a statement on the club's official website read. "The player will sign a contract until June 2016.
"At the same time, Palermo announce they have acquired the rights to attacker Diego Fabbrini from Udinese Calcio, and Queen's Park Rangers player Alejandro Faurlin.
"The midfielder moves to Sicily with the right to redemption in favour of our club."
Faurlin had found himself on the fringes of Harry Redknapp's squad at Lotus Road, and his agent revealed the 26-year-old jumped for a switch to Serie A.
"Lately there has been less room due to the delicate situation of the English club," Lucas Cominelli told reporters. "The player was wanted by other clubs, but Palermo were decisive.
"He is a technical midfielder, but the comparison with Andrea Pirlo seems an exaggeration however, as we are talking about a player from a different planet."

Vice President Nicolas Maduro and other Cabinet ministers have striven to assure a nervous public that Chavez's administration is firmly in charge even as the opposition challenges its legitimacy. Chavez has been out of sight in Cuba since undergoing cancer surgery on Dec. 11.
Among three televised events held nationwide on Friday, Maduro helped opened a school in Chavez's home state of Barinas alongside the president's elder brother, Adan, who is the state's governor.
"We're all Chavez. We have to feel that way," Maduro said during the school visit. "We all love Chavez from our hearts."
The vice president, whom Chavez designated last month as his chosen successor, also visited an agricultural training center in Lara state, where he insisted on the importance of "socialist efficiency." He then spoke to National Guard troops in western Zulia state, blaming materialistic values for exacerbating crime. A day earlier on Thursday, Maduro presided over the inauguration of a housing project in Caracas.
Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez gave an update on the government's efforts to build new public housing for the poor, saying more than 400,000 homes are currently under construction nationwide.
"All the programs of the revolution continue and will continue," Ramirez told reporters Friday. "The revolutionary government hasn't stopped, not one minute."
Opposition leaders have said the government violated the constitution by indefinitely postponing Chavez's swearing-in past Jan. 10, a stance that has been dismissed in a ruling by the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, a president known for speaking and singing on television for hours at a time has not uttered a word or appeared on television since Dec. 10. Even his popular and normally busy Twitter account has gone dark since early November.
Maduro and other government leaders don't enjoy anywhere near the level of public adoration that Chavez does, but the president's followers have still embraced him as his anointed stand-ins.
Critics note that while many Venezuelans remain on edge awaiting news of Chavez's condition, the government faces serious challenges ahead.
The opposition newspaper Tal Cual headlined an editorial by journalist Fernando Rodriguez on Monday saying Venezuela is now a "headless country."
"Who's in charge in this country?" Rodriguez asked. He noted that Venezuela is being battered by 20 percent inflation, shortages of some types of food and that hundreds were murdered last month during the holidays.
Rodriguez wrote that as he sees it, "The country is standing still."

SLU's First Endowed Chair in Public Health Honors James Kimmey
Nov 25, 2011, 09:30 ET
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Saint Louis University announces that its first endowed chair in its School of Public Health will be named after James R. Kimmey, M.D., MPH, the outgoing president and chief executive officer at Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH). A generous gift to SLU from MFH helped establish the James R. Kimmey Endowed Chair in Public Health.
Kimmey is the first president and chief executive officer of MFH and had been executive vice president and vice president for health sciences at SLU. The surprise announcement was made on Nov. 17, as business associates, friends and family gathered to honor Kimmey and celebrate his retirement from MFH, an organization he led since its inception.
Kimmey served in various leadership roles during his 14-year tenure at SLU. Among them, he was the founding dean of SLU's School of Public Health, which remains the only school of public health in Missouri and at a Jesuit university. Kimmey left SLU in 2001 to lead the newly formed MFH.
"Jim's vision has guided lasting improvements in health care in the state and made a significant impact on education at SLU," said University President Lawrence Biondi, S.J. "Jim's passion for public health and commitment to improving the health of Missourians -- particularly those in need -- will forever be linked to our work in our School of Public Health. It is appropriate that the School's first endowed chair bears Jim's name, and it is a fitting legacy for an impressive visionary."
Biondi added that one of the most important reinvestments in higher education, an endowed chair, is a hallmark of excellence and helps a University recruit and retain distinguished scholars.
"I am very touched by the establishment of a chair at SLU in my honor," Kimmey said. "Public health is a critical component in any community's quality of life and has been important to me throughout my career.
"I'm pleased to have been part of the founding of SLU's School of Public Health. It is important that this school's outstanding faculty and students continue to be part of the community discourse to improve public health, which impacts us all, regardless of our socio-economic status and where we live in the community."
Kimmey has shown a commitment to public health throughout his career, which has spanned nearly 50 years.
In 1963, shortly after completing his medical residency, he joined the U.S. Public Health Service and served as the first chief of the Federal Kidney Disease Branch, guiding federal efforts to establish the effectiveness of chronic hemodialysis as a clinical tool. After receiving his MPH in 1967 from the University of California, Berkeley, he served as the regional health director for the Public Health Service in New York City.
He left federal service in 1968 to become the founding executive director of Community Health, Inc., a national planning assistance program sponsored by the American Public Health Association and the National Health Council. In 1970, Kimmey became executive director of the American Public Health Association, a 50,000-member professional organization of public health workers.
Kimmey served as Wisconsin's Secretary of the Health Policy Council and director of the Division of Health Policy and Planning from 1973 to 1976. He established the Midwest Center for Health Planning, a non-profit technical assistance and educational organization based in Madison, Wisc., which he guided through 1987.
Kimmey joined SLU in 1987 and held a number of senior positions. He was director of the University's Center for Health Services Education and Research from 1987-1991; founding dean of its School of Public Health from 1991-1993; vice president for health sciences and chief executive officer of the Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center from 1993-1998; executive vice president and chief operating officer of the University from 1998-2000; and director of the Institute for Urban Health Policy from 2000-2001. He was appointed professor emeritus of public health in 2001.
Kimmey has held many leadership positions on boards for non-profit and professional organizations. Among these are: president of the World Federation of Public Health Associations; president of the American Health Planning Association; chair of the Community Health Planning Section of APHA; chair of the Task Force on Accreditation for the Health Professions; chair of St. Louis ConnectCare, a safety net provider; president of the Metropolitan St. Louis Hospital Council; president of the St. Louis Chapter of the Missouri Public Health Association; and chair of the Gateway Center for Giving.
He currently serves on the board of St. Louis Regional Chamber & Growth Association. He was on the board and served as chair of Grantmakers in Health, the national association for health focused foundations.
Among his awards and honors are: Public Health Service Commendation Medal (1968); APHA/AHPA Richard H. Schlesinger Award for Achievement in Health Planning (1978); Alpha Sigma Nu, Saint Louis University (1993); James R. Kimmey Award for Excellence in Health Planning, APHA (1994); Archbishop John May Award for Health Leadership, Archdiocese of St. Louis (2002); CORO St. Louis Community Leadership Award (2010); and Leonard and Cecelia Doaks Award - Health Literacy Hero, Health Literacy Missouri (2010); Lifetime Achievement Award, Doorways (2011); Kathy Curtis Legacy Award, Missouri Community Mental Health Centers (2011); Award of Merit, St. Louis Urban League (2011); and James R. Kimmey Lifetime Achievement Award, Missouri Health Advocacy Alliance (2011).
Kimmey received his Bachelor's and medical degrees from the University of Wisconsin.
Accredited since 1991, Saint Louis University School of Public Health is the only accredited school of public health in Missouri. It is one of 47 fully accredited public health schools in the U.S. and the only accredited Jesuit or Catholic school in the nation.

Can Doing Good Be Bad for Business?
New research by Assistant Professor of Marketing Carlos Torelli suggests corporate social responsibility efforts have the potential to backfire.
Doing good isn't always good for business, according to new research from the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management. The discovery, to be published in the Journal of Consumer Research, found corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts have the potential to backfire for luxury brands associated with a self-enhancement concept.
"When people see brands advertised they implicitly bring to mind abstract meanings. With BMW, for example, people think status and self-enhancement," says Assistant Professor of Marketing Carlos Torelli, author of "Doing Poorly by Doing Good: Corporate Social Responsibility and Brand Concepts." "When all of a sudden people see a message that communicates pro-social things about BMW, they feel a disconnect--there's a sense of discomfort trying to put these two things together."
According to Torelli and co-authors Alokparna Basu Monga and Andrew M. Kaikati, this motivational conflict is triggered by the simultaneous activation of self-enhancement and self-transcendence values and an accompanying subjective experience of disfluency (something does not feel right). This kind of motivational conflict, which draws upon Scwartz's model of human values, had not previously been reported in CSR literature.
In their studies, the researchers identified familiar luxury brands such as Rolex and BMW and presented participants with information suggesting that these brands were also pro-social brands engaged in CSR. Subjects were then asked to evaluate the messages compared to a control condition where the brand only communicated what it typically does--self-enhancement and status appeal.
"What we found is that people evaluated the brands more negatively when they were communicated with a pro-social agenda compared to the control condition. Interestingly enough, brands that were not luxury in terms of their self-enhancing nature didn't have this effect," says Torelli.
While the study suggests CSR presents a danger to luxury brands, Torelli's research found it is possible to counter the subjective experience of disfluency.
"If you're a luxury brand and you're trying to communicate your pro-social actions, you have to put people in a mindset to think carefully about the message and to be prepared to reconcile the information. If you communicate that, you don't get the negative reaction."
In a commercial, Torelli suggested this could be achieved by prior presentation of exemplars that counter the subjective experience of disfluency, such as reminding viewers of well-known philanthropists. The introduction of a sub-brand could also serve to discount it by signaling to consumers that a brand is engaging in inconsistent actions.

Once again I apologise for sounding like a smart arse about the snatch from yesterday. I did it with a 16kg as I for some reason thought that was the go. So you must have thought I was off my tree talking about getting 250 should be possible! Yeah, well no wonder if you use 8 kilo less!
I did it again today with the 24kg as Rx, see below!
Part one down with 3 kids in our bike and going around to 2 playgrounds!
12 sets of 3 MU, every 45 sec, they feel really good these days, but I cant hold on and lock out so i have to touch the ground every time. Suspect some rotational lack of strength??
rested 5 min
10 min amrap KB snatches with 24 kilo:
201 done in 9.45.

Hey guys,
Sorry for the question..I looked in FAQ and exercises but can't find it...what is the leaning rest on rings? Is it like in a dip position? Or?
Thanks!! :)
- January 23, 2011 at 11:55 AM
- Nathan H. said...
Kendra, pushup position on rings. Rings @ 2", feet @ 6"
Front leaning rest position is a military term for the top of the pushup.

Hill Sprints: Done
Took Brian to my favorite hill for hill climbs. Had a good time. Felt like we were running through wet concrete the last 10 seconds of rounds 6-8. We were within 1-2 seconds of the marks set on the first round.
Practices TGU's for this afternoon's session. Forearm bruised so they will be interesting.

Way to cold and icy to run outside, so did it on the rower subbed 40sec. for 30sec. Don't have a HR monitor either so kinda guess 95%, got 1,625m total...was brutal!
12x3 muscle-ups: 3with 2blue bands/6with 1blue 1red/3 with 2red. Went alright one day I'll get those bad boys!
TGU weren't has bad as I thought used 15lbs, shoulders started to burn on the last 25though!
broke that 4mins into 5sets, everything was shaking! I have a feeling my arms are done!!
- January 23, 2011 at 1:46 PM
Started with some Push Jerk, built to a 1RM 300lbs - 15lb PR!!
Then did MU's 3x12 sets, long breaks, wasn't feeling them today.
Skipped the TGU, and did the Front leaning rest in 1 min sets.
Ran afterwards. REALLY COLD -16C out, but the run went reasonable well considering. Hill sprints were a little slippery, but not bad.

This is Nate.
10min warm-up to only slope around. "slope" sprints done. thought about stopping at 6 cause of hamstring tightness and knowing i wasn't well-hydrated. kept with it, but started cool-down jog back home and quads cramped up...not cool!
mu's done. mixture of strict, false grip kipping, no false grip kipping. plenty of rest in between.
rotated back and forth with tgu and push-up hold on rings.
lot of volume today. REALLY glad there's a rest day tomorrow. vids from BD Challenge coming tonight hopefully...

My wife, who is also a cop like me, got into a foot chase this afternoon with a 15 year old high school kid who just stabbed and killed another 16 year old kid on the bus. If you wear a badge to work, Thank You! if or know someone who does, thank them. Be Safe Dawgs.

I did the run first thing this morning. Hard pressed to find a hill in Naples so I did 30sec sprints and cut the rest time to 1:30.
Rested about 8hrs
Then..Did the MUs. Done as jumping muscle ups. I'll be so happy when I finally get a muscle up.
The TGUs were painful in many ways. Took forever and were hard. I was fatigued from the jumping MUs.
Front leaning rest also done: that also sucked! No part of today was easy. Ok done crying!

James I hope you get a chance to decompress a little from the amazing weekend you bestowed upon us at Crossfit Performance
You and Michael are amazing. The assessment module was incredible and you as a Coach and presenter are everything and more than my Coach BK expressed. I am so psyched to have had the opportunity to have you weigh in on my Games training and you renewed my confidence as an athlete with your insight on my impending rest I must take following surgery to repair an umbilical hernia...I look forward to coming back stronger.
After you left today the emails from all the athletes were flying back and forth about how much we all took from this weekend and how you took the time to meet with our team this morning before your flight back to Calgary.
You have a way of speaking to us in layman's terms but with such intelligence behind it..
Thank you for dinner on Friday and I hope there was enough food for you and Michael last night...loved having you guys!
I look forward to what lies ahead and I am definitely taking the lifestyle assessment and ANYONE wondering about these modules should know how invaluable the experience was as a coach or even just as an athlete.
Sorry for the long post...you rock!!

Philadelphia's city controller plans an audit of demolition practices in the city in the aftermath of a June 5 building collapse that killed six people and injured 12 others.
Philly.com reports Alan Butkovitz's office sent a letter Wednesday to the city's commissioner of licenses and inspections, Carlton Williams.
Butkovitz says his office intends to audit the "policies and procedures" used by L&I and other agencies to monitor public and private demolition projects.
The district attorney's office, City Council and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are already conducting investigations into the collapse, in which a building under demolition collapsed onto a Salvation Army thrift store downtown.
Two employees and four customers were killed.
Police allege a heavy equipment operator had been high on marijuana.

Types of Headphones
Headphones are used not only for private entertainment, but also for professional monitoring. The most common uses and for field recording where a loudspeakers would be impractical or for musicians in the studio who need to hear each other or previously recorded tracks for overdubbing.
Four types of headphones are common:
Closed Headphones
The first is the Enclosed (Closed, Closed Back or Isolating) type. The enclosed headphone seals outside sound out and inside sound in. It is best used in noisy environments, as it has difficulty consistently reproducing bass frequencies since the seal against the head varies with pressure, hair and eyeglasses.
Open Headphones
The second is called Open (Open-Aire, Open Back, Vented) type. The Open headphone is usually more accurate, consistent and lower in cost for the same performance as an Enclosed headphone. Comfort is usually higher since less pressure is required against the ear. Musicians often prefer them when playing or singing since they can hear some natural sound through them.
Voice Headphones
The third type could use either Open or Enclosed but is designed for voice communications, intercom, or language lab use. The frequency response is tailored for clear voice reproduction and not for music.
In-ear earphones
The forth is in-ear earphones. Used when talent is either on-camera or performing and does not want the phone visible. These either have the transducer at the ear like a hearing aid or clipped behind the neck with a clear plastic tube and earmold in the ear canal. In a pinch, consumer \'earbuds\' may be used in this application.
Factors to consider when buying headphones.
The higher the price, the wider the frequency response and the closer the two sides will match each other. The effect of headphones is to exaggerate frequency response and stereo width, making them hard to use for critical esthetic judgements. Chances are the more boring a pair of headphones sounds, the more they will sound like speakers.
Watch out for impedance and power handling, most modern mixers and recorders require headphones to have between 30 and 90 ohms impedance, a higher impedance will work, but at reduced volume. Headphone amplifiers are a good idea since most built-in headphone amplifiers are quite low in quality.

'Pond Skim' back to its normal zaniness
The annual Pond Skim at Canyon Lodge was back in form last Sunday, April 22 at Canyon Lodge, and it was about time.
In the two springs before this one, Closing Day at Canyon was all about snow, cold temperatures and wind—not exactly what Mammoth Mountain Ski Area executive Bill Cockroft and P.A. Announcer Extraordinaire Scottie Marzonie had in mind when they created the event 13 years ago.
"The last two years were freezing, snowing and overcast," Marzonie said. "Originally, the pond skim started as just a big, fun, water sun-bathing, bikini-style party, so lots of people used to show up."
This year, they did.
Performing in 75-degree temperatures with sunny skies, about 65 skiers and snowboarders hit the pond, in varying degrees of dress and undress.
They competed in a 1-2-3 format for Best Dressed, Best Crash, and Best Overall skim as well, and boy did they pay the price.
This year the pond was 107 feet long, 30 feet wide and four feet deep. The water temperature, Marzonie said, was about 37 degrees.
Hundreds of spectators watched the event from the pond, or on the roof at Canyon Lodge.
Marzonie was at his usual best, inspired by the weather, the participation and the tradition.
"It was just a great crowd, great weather, the pond was in good shape and it was filled nice and early, so it really turned out to be an awesome event," Marzonie said.
"Everything went in a positive direction. It was a great day to close Canyon."

Roman Divacky on behalf of the ClangBSD team writes "ClangBSD is a branch of FreeBSD that aims at integrating clang into FreeBSD, replacing GCC as a system compiler. Recently, we've achieved the state when clang can compile all of FreeBSD world on i386/amd64 platforms (including all the C++ apps we have and itself) and a bootable kernel. Thus we feel that the time has come to ask the FreeBSD community for wider testing on i386/amd64 (you sure can help with other platforms too :))."

TORONTO, ON - In the second leg of the 2012 Amway Canadian Championship (ACC) final, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2W-1L-1D in ACC) fell 1-0 at Major League Soccer rivals Toronto FC (2W-0L-2D in ACC) on Wednesday evening to lose the two-leg final 2-1 on aggregate.
A late strike by Reggie Lambe secured TFC's fourth-straight Voyageurs Cup title and a return to the CONCACAF Champions League - this time for the 2012-13 season. In what was a tense and scrappy second-leg battle in front of 13,777 at BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario, both sides finished with ten men after TFC's Julian de Guzman and Whitecaps FC striker Sebastien Le Toux were both sent off near the hour mark. Though they pressed hard to the end, the Blue and White will be extremely disappointed that their quest to win the Voyageurs Cup title for the first time continues.
"Obviously, we're disappointed with how the game went," said Whitecaps FC head Martin Rennie. "It's always hard to lose a cup final, and especially if you don't feel like you got to the level that you would hope and you would like to. Cup finals are often very close and tight games. If you get chances, you've got to take them, and we didn't do that tonight. We have to dust ourselves off and start looking forward to making a run at the MLS Cup Playoffs, starting on Saturday against Portland."
Rennie made three changes to the side that started last Saturday's 2-2 home draw with Pacific Northwest rivals Seattle Sounders FC in MLS. John Thorrington came into midfield, while Eric Hassli and Camilo Sanvezzo returned to Vancouver's attack. TFC, meanwhile, had captain Torsten Frings return to the home side's starting XI after the former German international overcame a shoulder injury.
A breezy and warm evening greeted both sets of players in Southern Ontario, with the 'Caps wearing their all 'deep sea' blue kit for this decisive second leg. With plenty at stake, the first half showed the tension of the occasion, as both sides struggled to get their game plans on full track. TFC made the brighter start, with Joao Plata creating a couple of chances. The best of those opportunities came on seven minutes, as the Ecuadorian headed Frings' fine cross across the face of the Vancouver goal.
Though they struggled to create much before the break, Whitecaps FC had a couple of opportunities around the midway point of the first half. Alain Rochat headed Camilo's free kick wide of the near post before Thorrington powered a shot just wide of the target on 23 minutes.
The last chance of the half fell to The Reds on 37 minutes, but Frings drilled an indirect free kick wide of the near post. It remained scoreless at halftime, with the 'Caps still in need of a goal to turn the final series back in their favour.
Needing to find a breakthrough in the second half, Whitecaps FC still struggled to create much going forward after the restart. Instead, it was TFC that had chances, with Frings causing Vancouver goalkeeper Joe Cannon a bit of an issue with his deflected goal-bound strike that came close to crossing the 'Caps goal line on 56 minutes.
Soon after, a flashpoint occurred that had an impact on the remaining stages of the match. On 58 minutes, a melee in front of the fourth official's bench saw match referee Silviu Petrescu show a straight red card to TFC midfielder de Guzman for striking out at Whitecaps FC's Jun Marques Davidson, while Le Toux was shown a second yellow card. It left both sides playing with ten men each for the rest of the game.
As time ticked down, Rennie used his three substitutions. This included Darren Mattocks and Davide Chiumiento coming into the match in a bid to find that elusive 'Away Goal'. As Vancouver committed men forward, TFC were able to counter-attack. Reds substitute Nick Soolsma found the back of the net on 80 minutes, but the Dutchman was in an offside position when he scored.
It was a sign of things to come. On 83 minutes, TFC assured victory with a second aggregate goal from Lambe. Ryan Johnson's cross from the left was nodded back into the path of the Bermudan international by Soolsma on the edge of the Vancouver box. The attacker then struck a right-footed shot past Cannon to make it 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on aggregate.
Though TFC took the lead, Whitecaps FC still needed to score to take the match into extra time. Chiumiento struck a free kick just over the TFC crossbar before five minutes of stoppage time were played. In the end, the final whistle confirmed more Voyageurs Cup joy for The Reds, and more Canadian Championship frustration for Vancouver.
Whitecaps FC will look to quickly put this disappointment behind them, as they wrap up a very busy month of May with a Cascadia Cup derby clash at Pacific Northwest rivals Portland Timbers on Saturday evening. TFC, meanwhile, will look to carry the momentum of Wednesday's ACC win into Saturday afternoon, as they look for their first points of 2012 in MLS when they host Eastern Conference rivals Philadelphia Union.

Shopping Online: Tips for the holidays
The holiday season is upon us, and that means millions of people will be shopping for gifts online. Though online shopping peaks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, you can be a safe shopper year-round. Here are some tips to remember:
-Always use a credit card. Never use a wire-transfer or a non-credit card method to buy anything online. Laws allow you to challenge any disputed item that shows up on your credit card bill, and most credit card companies have what's called a "zero liability" policy that doesn't hold you accountable for charges made if your card is lost or stolen.
-Make sure you're using a secure site when paying for something. The site you're visiting may not have an "https" in the URL, but you should see one when you go to check out. As an example, when you shop at Amazon, you only see www.amazon.com in the URL. But when you go to pay for the items in your shopping cart, you're taken to a secure version of the site. You can see that the checkout page begins with "https," a sign that you're on a secure site.
-When in doubt, do some research! If looking at a website that seems sketchy, pause for a second and do some research on the company before you buy. The Better Business Bureau offers a list of accredited businesses on its website. You can also Google the company. You may find customer reviews and experiences that could help you determine if the site is legitimate. If in doubt, don't buy.
-Finally, don't click on links directly from e-mails. Businesses love to send e-mails touting their latest sales. But so do scammers! If you get an e-mail from the Gap advertising 30% off, don't click directly from the email. Instead, type in the Gap's web address directly into your browser and then search for the deals. This helps prevent you from clicking on a link from a phishing email.
Online shopping is fun and convenient. Just make sure you're doing it safely and securely, and you should be fine.
This feels good and looks good as well. This is the best credenza desk I now own. Awesome gift! I was able to get this credenza desk on sale around New Year. Perfect gift for anyone! Customer service great as always!Was this comment useful to you? YesNo

the deposits of the bank or financial institution are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
such exception shall apply to such bank or financial institution only if the bank or institution meets bonding requirements under State law which the Secretary of Labor determines are at least equivalent to those imposed on banks by Federal law.
The Secretary of Labor shall prescribe the amount of a bond under this section at the beginning of each fiscal year. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, such amount shall not be less than 10 percent of the amount of funds handled.

(c) A bond required by subsection (a)—
shall include such terms and conditions as the Secretary of Labor considers necessary to protect the Thrift Savings Fund against loss by reason of acts of fraud or dishonesty on the part of the bonded person directly or through connivance with others;
shall have as surety thereon a corporate surety company which is an acceptable surety on Federal bonds under authority granted by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to sections 9304 through 9308 of title 31; and
It shall be unlawful for any person to whom subsection (a) applies, to receive, handle, disburse, or otherwise exercise custody or control of any of the funds or other property of the Thrift Savings Fund without being bonded as required by this section.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person who is required to be bonded as provided in subsection (a) shall be exempt from any other provision of law which would, but for this subsection, require such person to be bonded for the handling of the funds or other property of the Thrift Savings Fund.

2014 Lexus IS: New Car Review - Video
The 2014 Lexus IS 250 and its more muscular IS 350 brother have been completely redesigned from the previous model year with bolder exterior sheet metal and a longer wheelbase.
The competition in this segment is tough, with entries from Mercedes, BMW and Infiniti forcing the Lexus IS to work harder to get noticed -- and it did.
The base IS 250 comes nicely equipped with tech conveniences such as a 7-inch display that's controlled by Lexus's Remote Touch system. HD radio is also standard, serving up weather and traffic info without a subscription. The optional Enform interface can control your smartphone apps using voice recognition. The capacitive touch climate controls are clever, too.
In terms of interior space, the IS's longer wheelbase has added more room to stretch out. But the low-slung roof cramps rear-seat headroom for taller folks.
Power and Performance
The IS 250 packs a 204-horsepower 2.5-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It's capable but not exhilarating. Move up to the IS 350 if you need the kick a 306-hp V6 offers. Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available for both models.
Either way, fuel economy hovers around 20 miles per gallon city, but can go as high as 30 mpg highway if you stick with the rear-wheel-drive IS 250. Government fuel-economy ratings are 21 mpg city/30 mpg hwy for the rear-wheel-drive 2.5-liter, 20 mpg city/27 mpg hwy for the all-wheel-drive 2.5-liter, 19 mpg city/28 mpg hwy for the rear-wheel-drive 3.5-liter and 19 mpg city/26 mpg hwy for the all-wheel-drive 3.5-liter.
The Sticker
Pricing for the base IS 250 starts at $35,950. An all-wheel-drive IS 350 stickers at $41,700 before options. Comparison shoppers will no doubt size up the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Infiniti Q50 before making a decision.
The Final Say
The 2014 Lexus IS 250 and IS 350 deliver a fine blend of performance and luxury. We like the IS's handsomely updated design, and aside from the lack of headroom for rear-seat passengers, we think you will, too.
