Parent keeps child at home for safety
2009-11-13 23:34:00 Leatrice Jackson was fed up. She decided to keep her child home from Fenger High School because she had fears of Tywon, her son, being harmed. Can you blame her? Tywon Jackson at home. Photo by Terrence Antonio James The Chicago Tribune ran a front page story on Tywon not going to school for three weeks. He was sprawled across his bed, chillin', with no homework in sight. But if homeschool, charter, magnet, or other public school options weren't available, what else could poor little Tywon do? Fire up the Palystation bruh. To be fair, his mother tried endlessly to get her child into other schools, but she is quoted as saying, "When you say you are coming...
Bears game to be decided by safety
2009-11-13 03:04:00 All I wanted was an actual football contest tonight. Think about it. It's been weeks since the Bears had a game. The one in Cincinnati wasn't. Then there was the bye week. Then that exhibition game with Cleveland. Then last week, when we all bowed out with Tommie Harris. It'd have been nice to have had a game that kept our interest past halftime. It didn't quite feel like real NFL football what with the game on a Thursday on Channel 50 in between "Everybody Loves Raymond" reruns, right? But there was the voice of Pat Summerall. Sure he was speaking of Lexus and Southwest Airlines and Kay Jewelers instead of Ditka and Payton and, of course, Singletary. ...

U.S.A.H1N1 Vaccines, 195 Million Doses: Availability, Safety Issues
2009-09-22 20:43:00 Ari Brown, M.D.-- AVAILABILITY Q. Does your office have swine flu vaccine yet? No. Medical providers have not received their shipment of swine flu vaccine yet. We anticipate getting the first shipment in mid-October. The U.S. plans to have 195 million doses of H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine, but it will be distributed in several batches on a weekly basis. Q. Will the vaccine be a shot or a nose spray? Well, there will be both forms of the vaccine. The FDA has approved three flu shots from three manufacturers and one nasal spray from another manufacturer. Q. What is the difference between the three H1N1 shots? All three vaccines protect against just one strain of influenza—H1N1. They will NOT protect against the other flu strains we typically see in the fall and winter season. They are all inactivated vaccines. And like the seasonal flu vaccines, these vaccines are created with egg product, so people with egg allergies need to steer clear. Here are the key differences: CSL B...

Crossing to Safety
2009-09-22 10:00:00 My favorite writer of all time is Wallace Stegner (I apologize to those of you who have heard me carry on about him before but the man's a genius) and while I've read this particular novel before I figured it was time for a re-read. The best books always bear repeating.What makes this novel so good? You mean besides the prose so smooth you feel as if you're floating down a river with the sun shining down? Or the characters drawn so masterfully you can hear the distinctions in their dialog? Or the themes that, while eternal, are so modern, thoughtful and resonant that you find yourself nodding your head as you read?Stegner grew up in Saskatchewan but lived in various places in the central United States (Salt Lake City, for example) and the land plays a central role in his stories. He also follows the themes of family and marriage, love and unity, pride and failure in a way that convinces me he's the greatest contemporary writer of all time. I'd stretch it to say greatest writer ...

Tips For Baby Safety
2009-09-07 03:03:00 One of a parents’ main concerns is the safety of their baby. It takes some thought to realize some of the potential dangers to your baby. Making your home safe takes some good thinking and planning, and this gets especially true once the baby is crawling and walking. These are not things that should be learned by trial and error, it’s too dangerous. Not all homes are alike, so all these tips may not apply, but they will give you some good things to think about and point you in the way you want to go. Purses are something to watch for. Babies love to fiddle with things inside of purses, even if it belongs to someone else who just may be visiting. Of course, there are things in purses that babies should not get hold of. Like pens, make-up, nail files, medications, etc. Cleaning becomes a little extra important, since babies are on the floor a lot and will grab things put them in their mouths. Keeping things safely up where the baby can’t reach is a good rule to follo...

China Food Safety. Don't Blame Legal.
2009-08-22 10:37:00 Thought provoking post over at TwoFish's Blog, entitled, "Best and the worst – The Sanlu Settlement." The thesis is that China's handling of payments to those injured by the Sanlu dairy food poisonings was handled better than would have been the case had Sanlu been in the United States and been subject to a class action suit. TwoFish makes some valid points, which points are certainly more sophisticated than some commentators who fly over to China for a week and come back proclaiming that if only China allowed tort claims (it does) just like in the United States, all (or at least nearly all) food safety problems would be solved there. TwoFish says China handled Sanlu "quite well" and he challenges those who are "critical" to "explain what the Chinese government could have done better:" As I said above, as far as the actual settlements and consequences, I do think that the Chinese government handled things quite well, and I’d like for people that are critical of the leg...

Daley's charge to Rodriguez: Improve CTA safety

However, violent crime (assault, battery and robbery) spiked 7.4% in that time frame -- from 582 reported incidences in 2008 to 685 in 2009.The one bright spot is that thefts are down this year by just over...

Safety First
2009-06-09 00:22:00 I've written in the distant past about my fears that I'll leave the coffee maker on and it'll leave the house a charred husk. So today I got to work, sat down, started tasks, then realized: I left it on. No chance I didn't this time -- I didn't drink the last bit in the pot or pour it into a traveling mug, and that's when I always turn it off. Crap. Crap crap crap. I could already see the flames. I called the Ski Bum, left a message asking her to go over and turn it off for me. She did go over... and it was off.So it turns out that my coffee maker turns itself off after two hours. And I've been driving myself nuts about this for years.* * *It appears that, after some back-and-forth on his status, Gabon's President Omar Bongo is indeed dead at 73.
