FBI suspected Ray Bradbury of communist sympathies

NEW YORK (AP) ? The FBI gave Ray Bradbury a mixed review.

According to documents declassified recently through the Freedom of Information Act, the bureau investigated the "Fahrenheit 451" author in the 1950s and 1960s because of suspected communist sympathies.

One informant warned agents that Bradbury, who died June 5 at age 91, wrote stories that were "definitely slanted" against capitalism. The informant added that science fiction itself could so terrify readers that they would succumb to "incompetence bordering on hysteria" and would be helpless during a third world war.

The bureau noted Bradbury's opposition to Sen. Joe McCarthy and other anti-Communists and his support for civil rights. But it concluded that Bradbury had never been in the Communist Party and that interviewing him was unnecessary because he did not have "informant potential."

Modric thanks Spurs for Real Madrid chance

Madrid, Aug 30

Croatian footballer Luka Modric has thanked the fans and his former club Tottenham Hotspurs after he joined Spanish giants Real Madrid in a deal worth around 35 million euros.

Modric also looked back over his time in London with Tottenham, who he helped guide to a fourth place finish last season. He said Wednesday that his move to Madrid was partly thanks to the English side, reports Xinhua.

"I spent four incredible years there. I would like to thank everyone in the club, the people who helped me in London. I want to thank the fans, because they treated me very well, they gave me a lot of affection and respect... it was a mutual feeling.

I want to thank my teammates too. Thanks to them I'm here now, and thanks to Tottenham as a club as well. I only have good memories from over there," commented Modric.

The Croatian midfielder, who will be 28 at the start of next month, spoke to Real Madrid TV about his hopes for his career in Spain, while also reflecting on his four years with Spurs and also his roots at Dynamo Zagreb.

"It means a great deal to me to join Real Madrid, because it's a great club. This is a club that always fights for all possible titles. It makes me proud and it is an honour to be a part of this club. I hope to be able to help the team to win the maximum number of trophies," said Modric, who was delighted to be able to work with Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho.

"It's incredible for such a good coach to want me. What's more, I was willing to wait until the last day in order to be here. I owe him everything and I really want to play for him and for the team," insisted the midfielder.

Clint Eastwood is Mitt Romney's opening act

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Clint Eastwood, the Hollywood filmmaker who knows all about sticking to the script, turned in what seemed like an oddly unscripted endorsement of Republican Mitt Romney Wednesday night.

Standing on the convention stage with an empty chair, Eastwood carried on a sometimes rambling conversation with an imaginary President Barack Obama.

The actor and director talked about Oprah Winfrey, Obama's unfulfilled promise to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and lawyers.

At one point, Eastwood talked about letting Obama go and making a change.

"When somebody doesn't do the job, you gotta let 'em go," Eastwood said. The tough-guy actor of "Dirty Harry" fame drew a finger across his throat.

The crowd cheered Eastwood's entrance and shouted his famed catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day." But backstage, stern-faced Romney aides winced at times as Eastwood's remarks stretched on.

On a night where virtually every moment was scripted, Eastwood was among the only speakers not reading from a teleprompter as he spoke.

The Oscar-winning director of "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby," Eastwood criticized Obama for failing to turn the economy around and for wanting to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects.

Eastwood says Obama has failed to deliver on his promises and it's time for Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, to take over.

He entertained the audience with a mock interview with Obama, posing questions and pretending that Obama had told Eastwood to shut up.

Eastwood endorsed Romney earlier this month at a campaign event in Sun Valley, Idaho.

Kepler discovers planetary system orbiting 2 suns

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Astronomers at the International Astronomical Union meeting announced the discovery of the first transiting circumbinary multi-planet system: two planets orbiting around a pair of stars. The discovery shows that planetary systems can form and survive even in the chaotic environment around a binary star. And such planets can exist in the habitable zone of their stars. "Each planet transits over the primary star, giving unambiguous evidence that the planets are real," said Jerome Orosz, Associate Professor of Astronomy at San Diego State University and lead author of the study which is published today in the journal Science.

The system, known as Kepler-47, contains a pair of stars whirling around each other every 7.5 days. One star is similar to the Sun while the other is a diminutive star only one third the size and 175 times fainter. The inner planet is only 3x larger in diameter than the Earth, making it the smallest known transiting circumbinary planet. It orbits the stellar pair every 49 days.

The outer planet is slightly larger than Uranus and orbits every 303 days, making it the longest-period transiting planet currently known. More importantly, its orbit puts it in the "habitable zone", the region around a star where a terrestrial planet could have liquid water on its surface. While the planet is probably a gas-giant planet and thus not suitable for life, its discovery establishes that circumbinary planets can, and do, exist in habitable zones.

Although much more difficult to detect than planets around single stars, the rich dynamics and wild climate changes make these circumbinary planets worth the effort to find. These two planets join the elite group of 4 previously known transiting circumbinary planets, Kepler-16, 34, 35 and 38.

The new planetary system is located roughly 5000 light-years away, in the constellation Cygnus. The planets are much too far away to see, so they were discovered by the drop in brightness they cause when they transit (eclipse) their host stars. The loss of light caused by the silhouette is tiny, only 0.08% for planet b and 0.2% for planet c. By comparison, Venus blocked about 0.1% of the Sun's surface during its recent transit. Precise photometric data from NASA's Kepler space telescope allowed the transits and eclipses to be measured, which in turn provided the relative sizes of the objects. Spectroscopic data from telescopes at McDonald Observatory in Texas enabled the absolute sizes to be determined. "Based on their radii, these probably have masses of approximately 8 and 20 times that of the Earth," Orosz said.

"Kepler-47 shows us that typical planetary architectures, with multiple planets in co-planar orbits, can form around two stars," said co-author Joshua Carter, a Hubble Fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "We've learned that circumbinary planets can be like the planets in our own Solar System, but with two suns."

The work was presented at the International Astronomical Union meeting by Dr. William Welsh, Professor of Astronomy at San Diego State University, on behalf of the Kepler Science Team.

"The thing I find most exciting," said Welsh, "is the potential for habitability in a circumbinary system. Kepler-47c is not likely to harbor life, but if it had large moons, those would be very interesting worlds."

Why Public Speaking is Easy & Gets You More Customers | Growthink

Speaking at events is a great way to generate quality leads and expand your business.

The truth is, you don't have to be a great orator or the next Tony Robbins, so long as you know what you're talking about (which you will), come across as credible, and most of all, interest the audience.

Below are some tips to help you find and speak at events to generate new business. But first, I'd like to reiterate why you should be speaking at events.

Why should I speak at events?

Event marketing is another marketing channel, or way to let people know what you do and how to contact you. And it's face-to-face; this can help get your message across more powerfully and position your business more credibly. With these barriers overcome in the listeners' minds, you'll find that the new inquiries you get are more qualified leads-which usually means more sales and the sales process comes together a lot more easily.

Make a short list of the local service organizations in your area-the local Chamber of Commerce, or organizations like Kiwanis and Rotary Club. Likewise, consider national organizations. Most importantly, choose organizations and groups whose members are target customers of yours.

Contact the organizations and ask how to get considered as a speaker for one of their regular events. Also, be sure to find out how much time you will be given to speak. After the event, count how many appointments you get and see for yourself if it was worth the time invested.

Ideally you can get a video made of you speaking at the event. If so, post that on your website and on social media sites. The video will give you more credibility and position you as an industry expert.

Who is my audience?

Once you know where you'll be speaking, you can find out more about the audience. What do they want to learn about? What do they believe they want and what are their needs?

Think of how these relate to what you do. What could you show them how to do that would help them get what they want? These could be tangible or psychological benefits.

Figure this out and you're on your way to preparing a simple speech.

What should I talk about?

Address what it is that your audience is looking for, and explain it in a way that they'll understand.

For example, let's say your company provides outsourced customer service. If so, you'd want an audience primarily comprised of business owners. A simple talk would be for you to give them 5-10 tips related to customer service. For each tip, you would include good and bad examples.

Importantly, in doing this you will naturally promote your company's service (as the "good" examples will be ones that your organization has done) without directly pitching the audience.

So, yes, you can get tons of leads from your speech without being "salesy."

Where do I get material?

This part is easier than you think. Once you choose the topic, try brainstorming everything you can think of that it entails. With our customer service example, you can discuss delivery & fulfillment, billing, refunds, returns & exchanges, technical support, customer phone support, etc.

The key is that you are an expert on your business, so the information is probably already in your head.

Overcoming fear of speaking at the event

If you have some time before the event, don't worry or rush too much to finish your speech. Rather, try keeping a journal for collecting ideas and tips to share along the way. Then, assemble them into an outline for your talk. You don't have to write it out word for word if you don't want to.

If someone called you on the phone and asked you a question, would you need a script? No, you'd just explain it to them as you naturally would. Half of public speaking is reframing the way you see the situation, so you can relax and communicate as you would with an old friend.

Practice giving your speech by yourself a few times so you can pause and think about how it sounded along the way. Maybe have someone else listen to you in order to give feedback.

But when the day comes, relax and remember to talk as if you're on the phone with a friend. You don't have to hold eye contact with anyone in the audience, and they'll forgive you for any blunders as long as you're sincere and interesting!

Public speaking and "event marketing" is a great channel to meet and secure new customers. So, take a minute now to find a relevant event at which you can speak. You'll be glad you did.

There are many more other "publicity" methods that can help you get even more new customers. Learn how to easily get tons of publicity for your business with Growthink's Publicity Playbook.

Sarajevo Massacre Remembered :: Balkan Insight

Past verdicts of the Hague Tribunal have concluded that on August 28, 1995, several shells were fired from Army of Republika Srpska positions at the centre of the besieged city of Sarajevo.

One of these shells fell in front of the northern entrance to the city?s Markale market in Mula Mustafe Baseskije Street, killing 43 and wounding 84 people.

Nasuf Rasevic?s brother was one of those killed.?

?We were together that day, but I went to the Eternal Flame and he stayed at the market. When the shell fell, I ran towards the market and saw that my brother had been killed. They did not let me through, but I saw my dead brother on the handrails,? recalled Nusuf Rasevic.

Although 17 years have passed, Rasevic says that the most difficult thing for him to deal with are the denials of the responsibility for the Markale massacre, and he primarily blames the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina for permitting these denials.

Nasiha Celebic, whose brother was also killed in the August shelling of the Markale market, says that the denials of the crime by the Bosnian Serbs offends her.

?I?m deeply offended when the murders at Markale are denied. It is tough living with that even after so many years,? said Celebic.

Two members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zeljko Komsic and Bakir Izetbegovic, as well as the prime minister of the Sarajevo Canton, Fikret Music, paid their respects to the victims that died at Markele. No officials from Republika Srpska attended the ceremony.?

?The forces that carried out the aggression on Bosnia had no consideration for either the timing or location of the attack. They wanted Bosnia to disappear. Thank God that did not happen,"

"This place, as well as other places where people died, are a warning, ?and send a message to young people that they can live together, side by side, in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a dignified manner,? said Music.

Zeljko Komsic, the Croatian member of the Bosnian tripartite Presidency, said that the murder of his fellow citizens hurts him as much today as it did in 1995.

?The years pass and I hurt just the same. I am also aware that we simply must move on. We have to continue living knowing that such a crime was committed and make something normal of this country, but it still hurts,? said Komsic.

The Hague Tribunal has sentenced two former commanders of the Sarajevo-Romania Corps of the Army of Republika Srpska for the shelling campaign against Sarajevo. Stanislav Galic was sentenced to life imprisonment and Dragomir Milosevic to 29 years in prison.

The former Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic, ?and the former Bosnian Serb army chief, Ratko Mladic, who are currently on trial at the Hague Tribunal, are also charged with these crimes.

Tuesday?s commemoration marks the second massacre at the Markale market. The first massacre took place on February 5, 1994, when a single shell fell killing 68 and wounding 144 people.

BRUSSELS (AP) ? Belgium's highest court considered Tuesday whether to grant conditional early release to one of the nation's most despised criminals, the accomplice and former wife of a pedophile and child killer, even though she let two of his victims starve to death.

The Court of Cassation can only rule on procedural issues in the decision by a lower court to allow Michelle Martin to live in a convent after serving barely half of her 30-year sentence for her part in the mid-1990s kidnappings, rapes and killings by her then-husband, Marc Dutroux.

The overwhelming expectation is that Martin will be granted her freedom, especially after the legal adviser to the court said he had seen no procedural infringements meriting a revision of the earlier decision.

Even some of the parents of Dutroux's and Martin's victims have lost hope that Martin will be denied release.

"No. Honestly, no," said Jean-Denis Lejeune, whose 8-year-old daughter Julie was one of the girls who starved to death, when asked he had hope the decision would be reversed. He said he was convinced the full court would follow the advice of the advocate general.

Away from the Court of Cassation, where arguments were heard from both sides in an ornate, wood-paneled room lit by gilded chandeliers, security forces are already preparing Martin's arrival in Mallone, the verdant village in the hills 75 kilometers (45 miles) south of the capital, where the Clarisse convent is waiting to host her.

A few policemen were already stationed close to the convent but apart from the comings and goings of locals, little was happening.

Next to the convent, fluorescent graffiti protesting Martin's possible arrival was removed. At a religious statue near the gate, two teddy bears still sat next to a picture of the two eight-year-olds who starved to death in Dutroux's dungeon in 1996.

"Shame on the sisters," one billboard said, in reference to the nuns who are willing to take Martin in.

Martin depicted herself as a more passive culprit than Dutroux, someone who was acting on the whims of a psychopath. But she is still blamed for aiding her then-husband's depraved and murderous spree, and she is particularly loathed for letting two 8-year-old girls starve to death while Dutroux was briefly imprisoned.

Dutroux, who was an unemployed electrician and convicted pedophile on parole at the time of the crimes, was arrested in 1996 and convicted eight years later of abducting, imprisoning and raping six girls between the summers of 1995 and 1996. He was also found guilty of murdering two of the six girls, who ranged in age from 8 to 19 years old.

The two 8-year-olds starved to death in a secret basement dungeon built by Dutroux, who left them in Martin's care while he was serving four months in jail for theft. The last two kidnap victims came out alive after police took action.

Martin's lawyer, Thierry Moreau, insisted his client deserved a shot at a better life.

"There is something human remaining in Mrs. Martin even though she acknowledges herself she is responsible for very serious acts," Moreau said.

Talk of her possible release has already spawned demonstrations demanding to keep her in jail.

Healthy Families: What Parents Should Know NOW

The final California state budget eliminated Healthy Families, a program providing affordable health, dental and vision coverage to nearly 900,000 California children. These children will be moved into the state?s Medi-Cal insurance program eventually and will continue to be covered by Healthy Families until then. The state?s plan for moving those covered by Healthy Families into Medi-Cal will be presented to the Legislature in October 2012. In the meantime, parents with children in Healthy Families need to understand they still have coverage and are aware of the upcoming changes. The following fliers may help:

1 in 40 ? SMA Could Affect You

The statistic is: 1 in 40 people carry the gene that causes SMA ? Spinal Muscular Atrophy. That means that more than 7 million Americans are carriers of a disease that most people have never heard about.?I learned about SMA when I lost two daughters, Jessica & Jaylin Gayle to SMA in 2001 & 2002. (Click here for the story.)?Here are a few quick facts. SMA is the leading genetic killer of children under the age of 2. SMA is a degenerative disease that affects the voluntary muscles. Those that survive face a life watching as their muscles slowly fail, leaving them unable to walk, crawl, sit up or even swallow. It is a recessive disease ? two parents who are both carriers of the gene that causes SMA have a one in four chance of passing the disease on to a child. SMA crosses all racial, ethnic, religious and gender boundaries and while it is primarily diagnosed in children it can affect people of any age.?August is SMA awareness month and there is hope. Families of SMA, a grassroots organization of which I am a member, is funding drug development programs and clinical trials which may mean a treatment is on the horizon. The federal government is considering the addition of SMA as one of the recommended diseases for newborn screening. You are reading this article so that one more person knows about SMA. Awareness is the beginning. Sometimes it takes celebrities to bring a disease from the shadows out into the light. Sometimes it just takes the dedication of individuals to make a difference. To learn more about how you can help contact Families of SMA, call?(800) 886-1762?or visit?www.curesma.org. We are working to help raise awareness and funding for research, education, advocacy and patient services. By increasing funding, we can help to unravel the mysteries of this disease and continue working toward effective treatments. By participating and donating, you can make a difference in a life. Together we will find a cure! One in 40 may seem like a big number, but it become very small when it touched our family.?- Nina?Gutierrez Gayle

$5,000 Grants Help Pay for Children?s Medical Expenses

UnitedHealthcare Children?s Foundation (UHCCF)?is seeking grant applications from families in need of financial assistance to help pay for their child?s health care treatments, services or equipment not covered, or not fully covered, by their commercial health insurance plan. Qualifying families can receive up to $5,000 to help pay for medical services and equipment such as physical, occupational and speech therapy, counseling services, surgeries, prescriptions, wheelchairs, orthotics, eyeglasses and hearing aids. To be eligible for a grant, children must be 16 years of age or younger. Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the United States and have a commercial health insurance plan. Grants are available for medical expenses families have incurred 60 days prior to the date of application as well as for ongoing and future medical needs. Parents or legal guardians may apply for grants at?www.uhccf.org, and there is no application deadline.

Medicare Updates Hospital, Nursing Home Compare Sites

Two websites that help Americans make informed choices about hospitals and nursing homes have been redesigned and will make more information available to the public, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced. The two sites ??Hospital Compare?and?Nursing Home Compare?? have been enhanced to make navigation easier by users and have added important new comparison tools like findings from nursing home inspections. ?These enhanced tools give patients, their families and caregivers the ability to make an informed decision on where to seek care by looking at how well hospitals and nursing homes are performing on important quality measures,? acting CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner said.??Anyone looking to compare hospitals or nursing homes ? not just those on Medicare ? can take advantage of these websites.? Both sites contain important data on how well these facilities perform on quality measures ? such as the frequency of infections that develop in the hospital, how often patients have to be readmitted to the hospital, and the percentage of nursing residents who report having moderate to severe pain while staying in the nursing homes. Researchers will now be able to access the data on both of these sites through mobile-ready applications.

How to Implement ?Rethink Your Drink? in Suffering Community

First 5 San Joaquin invites you to partner with them to promote the Rethink Your Drink (RYD) campaign in San Joaquin County. Our community is facing an unprecedented health crisis. Not only do extra calories from added sugar in drinks (such as sodas, sports drinks, juice blends and punch) contribute significantly to obesity, but they also contribute to the rise of related chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The RYD campaign aims to address this crisis by educating families about the link between consumption of these sugary drinks and the health risks. From July through September, this quarter?s health messaging efforts from First 5 San Joaquin will focus on equipping educators and advocates with resources to empower families to make healthier drink choices.?Click here for more information and resources?to assist you in your efforts.? Join the movement to help families make the change!

Prevention of Heat-Related Illness

The Calaveras County Public Health Department has issued recommendations to prevent heat- related illness. As temperatures hit the century mark, Calaveras County Health Officer Dr. Dean Kelaita urges residents to take actions to prevent heat-related illnesses. People at higher risk of heat illness have health conditions such as obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, poor circulation, or use drugs or alcohol. These conditions can make it harder for the body to stay cool in hot weather.

During this heat wave, be sure to:

Get plenty to drink

• Have water available for yourself, those with you when you leave your home
• Drink more water, juice & sports drinks
• Avoid drinks with caffeine [tea, coffee and cola] & alcohol
• Provide water for pets

Stay cool, stay indoors

• Stay in an air conditioned area if possible
• If you do not have air conditioning, go to a building with air conditioning
• Take a cool shower or bath

Wear light clothing and sunscreen when outdoors

• Choose lightweight, light-colored & loose-fitting clothing
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat to keep your head cool
• Be sure to use sun-screen when outside for sun protection [SPF 15 or higher] & reapply every two hours when in the sun

Plan outdoor activities

• Avoid being out during the hottest part of the day
• Rest often in a shady area
• Never leave children or pets in a parked car

Pace yourself when active

• Take frequent, regularly scheduled breaks
• If your heart pounds, you become out of breath, lightheaded, confused, weak or faint, stop your activity and rest in a cool or shady area

Use a buddy system during a heat wave

• Check on friends and family, especially the elderly or those with health conditions twice a day
• Have others check on you

?The warning signs of heat illness include heavy sweating, cramps, headache, nausea or vomiting, tiredness, weakness, dizziness and fainting,? ?Kelaita said. Residents should seek medical attention if they have these signs of illness. For more information about prevention and signs of heat-related illness, visit?www.calaveraspublichealth.com?or call Calaveras Public Health at?(209) 754-6460.

Institute of Medicine Aims to Accelerate Progress in Preventing Obesity

Report Recommends Strategies, Calls On All Sectors of Society to Take Action Now?The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has released a report that outlines comprehensive strategies for addressing the nation?s obesity epidemic and calls on leaders in all sectors to accelerate action to advance those strategies. The release was a highlight of the second day of the 2012 Weight of the Nation conference, hosted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

• Make physical activity an integral and routine part of life.
• Create food and beverage environments that ensure healthy food and beverage options are the routine, easy choice.
• Transform messages about physical activity and nutrition.
• Expand the role of health care providers, insurers and employers in obesity prevention.
• Make schools a national focal point for obesity prevention.

The full report, a summary, practical guides for taking action and other materials are available for free on the IOM website.

Sugary drink consumption is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. Serving healthy beverages is essential for a child?s nutritious diet, and child care settings can play an important role in helping children develop healthy nutrition habits.?Learn what you need to know about new state and federal standards?for beverages served in child care settings.?Healthy Beverages in Child Care?is a project of California Food Policy Advocates (CFPA). CFPA, founded in 1992, is a statewide public policy and advocacy organization dedicated to improving the health and well being of low-income Californians by increasing their access to nutritious and affordable food.

Incoming 7th Graders Need Whooping Cough Vaccine

A California law that took effect last summer requires all students entering seventh grade each year to provide proof of having immunization against pertussis, more commonly known as whooping cough, before starting school.?The new rule follows the state?s worst outbreak of whooping cough in more than 50 years.??Immunity gained from childhood pertussis vaccine wanes over time, so a Tdap booster shot is needed,? San Joaquin County Health Officer Dr. Karen Furst said.?The Tdap booster vaccine protects against three dangerous diseases: tetanus, diphtheria and?pertussis. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial illness spread by coughs and sneezes. Furst recommended parents contact their child?s health care provider now to ensure their child is up to date on all immunization recommendations.?Furst urged parents of current sixth-grade students to get their child?s Tdap vaccine before school ends this year and take a copy of the child?s shot record or other documentation to school as soon as possible.?Because a large number of students need a Tdap shot between now and the start of the next school year, parents should make an appointment now with their child?s doctor or clinic to avoid the back-to-school rush.?School health officials want all students to be protected against disease and able to attend school on the first day without any disruptions. To achieve this, parents should take note of several important factors regarding the state immunization law for school entry in the 2012-13 school year:

• Seventh-grade students without proof of a Tdap vaccination will not be allowed to register for classes or attend school.
• If a child has received one dose of Tdap vaccine on or after their 7th birthday, the requirement is met.
• It is not too early to get the Tdap booster.
• It is not too early to get the documentation in to the school.
• There will be no Tdap immunization clinics at the schools.
• There will be no extension or grace period.

For those who do not have a health care provider or health insurance, Tdap vaccinations are available at many pharmacies and clinics. Public Health Services Immunization Clinic schedules are available?online?or you may call?(209) 468-3830.

Protect Your Preteen from Serious Diseases

The?Calaveras County Public Health Department?reminds families of preteens about recommended and required immunizations for 11-and 12-year olds. Dr. Dean Kelaita, county health officer, encouraged families of preteens to schedule a doctor visit and get vaccines they need to stay healthy and meet the Tdap school entry requirement for incoming seventh-graders. During 2010, California experienced a whooping cough (also known as pertussis) epidemic that resulted in 10 infant deaths. Incoming seventh-graders for the 2012-13 school year must provide proof of having immunization against whooping cough (Tdap) before starting school. Students who have not met the requirement will not be allowed to start school. Immunity from childhood vaccines wears off over time, exposing a child to serious diseases that can lead to missed weeks of school or serious illness. Besides the Tdap shot, there are other immunizations that are now recommended for this age group, including the meningococcal vaccine, a second chickenpox shot (if they never had chickenpox disease), and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series. Also, everyone older than 6 months is recommended to receive flu vaccine. The Calaveras County Public Health Department offers no- or low-cost vaccines to children without health insurance or whose insurance does not cover immunizations. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Information:?(209) 754-6460?orwww.calaveraspublichealth.com.

• San Andreas: weekly at Public Health Department, 700 Mountain Ranch Road, Suite C-2. Mondays 3 to 5 p.m. and Thursdays 8 a.m. to noon.
