The current virus of concern is the H1N1 virus. Because it is new, most people do not have immunity to it. It is a respiratory illness that causes symptoms similar to those of seasonal flu. HOW IS H1N1 INFLUENZA SPREAD? It is believed that it spreads the same way as regular seasonal flu. Influenza and other respiratory infections go from person to person when germs released from coughing and sneezing enter the nose and / or throat. Germs can also rest on hard surfaces like counters and doorknobs, where they can be picked up on hands and transmitted to the respiratory system when someone touches their mouth and/or nose. *WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?* The symptoms include: . Sudden Fever (100.4ºF / 38ºC); . Cough; . Runny nose; . Sore throat; . Body aches; . Fatigue / physical exhaustion; and . Lack of appetite. In some cases, these symptoms are accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. *HOW DO I PROTECT MYSELF AND OTHERS?* The Province of Manitoba through the Manitoba Health and Health Living (MHHL) recommends the following precautions: . Cover your cough by coughing into your elbow or sleeve or use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. . Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Hand sanitizers are also effective. . Reduce the spread of germs by limiting touching your eyes, nose or mouth and by washing your hands frequently. . Maintain your health by taking care of yourself and those in your care including eating a healthy balanced diet, avoiding cigarette smoke and other harmful substances, being active and getting enough rest and sleep. *WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I GET SICK?* If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, you should: . Stay home from school or work and limit unnecessary contact with others. . Contact your health-care provider or visit your nearest health-care centre if you are concerned that you may need care -- especially if your symptoms are severe or worsening (e.g. shortness of breath, dehydration, or worsening fever, cough or weakness). . Should major disruptions to University activities occur as a result of a pandemic, the course content, marks breakdown and other provisions in course outlines may be adjusted as the circumstances warrant. Students seeking medical advice can contact University Health Service (UHS) by calling (204) 474-8411 or visit their web site: www.umanitoba.ca/student/health <http://www.umanitoba.ca/student/health/>. For personal advice on self-care or when to seek further care, those who cannot contact their primary healthcare provider can phone Health Links--Info Santé at any time at 788-8200 or toll-free at 1-888-315-9257. *IF I AM SICK CAN A PROFESSOR / INSTRUCTOR ASK ME TO LEAVE THE CLASS?* Yes, if you have influenza symptoms your professor or instructor can ask you to leave the class and not return until your symptoms are gone. If this occurs professors / instructors have been asked to accommodate and be flexible to allow you to complete your course work. *DO YOU HAVE A STUDY BUDDY?* If you are unable to attend class do you have a Study Buddy within your class that will share notes and hand outs after you have recovered. If you do not have a Study Buddy please ask a classmate to become yours. And if you are asked to be a Study Buddy please assist your fellow student because you may need their help if you are ill. *DO YOU HAVE A HEALTH BUDDY?* Many of our students come from other provinces and other countries, which means they are away from their support network of friends and family. If you are in this situation please make friends with someone who can be your Health Buddy. A Health Buddy is someone who will keep in touch with you regularly to see if you are healthy and if they cannot reach you they would be expected to find you to ensure you are healthy or to find out if you need assistance. *WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA DOING ABOUT H1N1?* The University of Manitoba has been involved in pandemic planning and has developed an institutional plan. Deans, Directors, and Heads of Administrative Units have also been requested to develop their own unit plans. A Pandemic Planning Committee is actively involved in overseeing and communicating the planning activities, which includes an awareness campaign and provision of hand sanitizing stations. The primary method of communication will be via the University of Manitoba's web site, visit www.umanitoba.ca <http://www.umanitoba.ca/> and follow the H1N1 Flu Virus link. *WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?* . Faculty specific instructions will be coordinated and communicated through faculty specific dean's offices. .

Fries Email: CJ_Fries(a)umanitoba.ca Telephone: 474-7871 (with voice mail) As Foucault has pointed out, the institution of medicine is about much more than providing health care. Medicine is a key apparatus of social control in advanced liberal societies such as Canada. Sociologists have been studying medicalization---the extension of scientific-medical authority into areas of social life including the tendency to view undesirable conduct as --illness? requiring medical intervention---for decades.What are the consequences of medicalization for society and how we understand ourselves? In which ways are the engines of medicalization shifting? How is medicalization part of larger cultural developments in the societies of the West? What role do the --psy? disciplines play in a medicalized framing of the self? These questions and debates, among others, will be examined in this seminar through the detailed and critical consideration of three recent texts concerning the sociological and philosophical consequences of medicalization. _Student Providing Aligned Research and Knowledge (SPARK) Pilot Program <http://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/dpr/spark-eclair/index-eng.asp>_ It is with great enthusiasm that I am writing to provide you with information on the Canada School of Public Service's _Student Providing Aligned Research and Knowledge (SPARK) Pilot Program <http://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/dpr/spark-eclair/index-eng.asp>_. SPARK is operated in partnership with the Public Service Commission, as part of their Research Affiliate Program (RAP). Under the program, selected graduate students work from their campus location; are paid for research projects in the field of public administration and public policy; gain knowledge and experience addressing practical, real-life issues; and can potentially be hired into an indeterminate position upon graduation. Students can also receive course credit for their SPARK project if the following requirements are met: * The student is enrolled in a course that is scheduled concurrently with their employment under SPARK; * The research being conducting under SPARK is of applicable subject matter; and * The course professor and the hiring organization are aware of and in agreement with the arrangement. Examples of projects undertaken to date include researching: * Selected Economic Trends in Canada's Economic Regions from 1996 to 2006; and * International experiences in addressing the misuse of alcohol, and addressing the misuse and diversion of pharmaceuticals. We kindly seek your assistance to share this information with all graduate students who might be interested in this opportunity. Students can view and apply for jobs at: http://jobs-emplois.gc.ca/rap-par/index-eng.htm. SPARK opportunities are clearly indentified in the title of the posting under the link "Current opportunities <http://jest-orae.psc-cfp.gc.ca/JEST-ORAE/advsrch.do?cnsrch=1&lang=en&p=10>", and will be made available on an on-going basis -- so it is important for students to check the site regularly.

These determinants also shape Canadians? access to primary health care (the provision and coordination of health services that are responsive to community needs). If there?s no one-size-fits-all model, how can we ensure that Canadians have equitable access to primary health care? How can we design a health care system that protects against vulnerability? Please join us for a stimulating discussion with health experts about access to primary health care for vulnerable populations. The expert speakers featured on the panel are: **Dr. Sherry L.

We launched the survey earlier in this month. Your assistance in distributing the link to the survey and encouraging your alumni to complete it is essential to its success. An information page about the survey is found on the AAA web site at: http://www.aaanet.org/cmtes/copapia/MAalumnisurvey.cfm. The direct link to the survey itself is also on this page. You may send either this page link or the direct survey link to your alumni. The genesis of the survey comes from a number of different interests. The AAA would like to connect with more Masters alums with regard to planning services, programs, and benefits. Departments of anthropology nationwide graduate over 1,000 Masters students per year and yet we know very little about their careers, their educational experience, and their needs for organizational affiliation. We have learned that departments of anthropology would like feedback on their graduate programs' usefulness as their graduates pursue careers in the broad array specializations characteristics of the discipline. In creating the survey, we engaged the advice of an extensive Advisory Network to provide feedback from all specialties across anthropology. We are sending the link to academic departments that grant MA degrees, as well as a number of other groups and list serves. (A list of members of the Advisory Network is found on the web page mentioned above.) Results from the survey will be published through the AAA, including the Anthropology Newsletter and the AAA web site. Individual respondents can request a copy of the survey report as well. Analysis will begin in fall 2009 and the report is expected at the end of 2009 or early 2010. The anonymous survey takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Queries can be directed to MASurvey2009(a)aaanet.org <mailto:MASurvey2009@aaanet.org>. Those who wish to go directly to the survey (without going through the CoPAPIA page) can go to the following URL: http://research.zarca.com/k/SsRXQTsVTsPsPsP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Distinguished Speaker Lecture: "The Road to Stockholm: A Nobel Mission"* *"The Road to Stockholm: A Nobel Mission" LOUIS J. IGNARRO, Nobel Laureate Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology, UCLA* Dr. Louis J. Ignarro is a Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology at the UCLA School of Medicine and winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his groundbreaking discovery of the importance of Nitric Oxide in cardiovascular health. This discovery made it possible to develop and market Viagra, the first oral medication for the effective treatment of erectile dysfunction. As a result of his role in this blockbuster drug, Dr. Ignarro is sometimes known as "the Father of Viagra". For nearly 30 years, Dr. Ignarro's research has focused on the role of Nitric Oxide in the cardiovascular system. Among the most significant contributions from Dr. Ignarro's wealth of research is the discovery that Nitric Oxide is produced in the blood vessels and controls the flow of blood by signaling the vessels to expand and contract.
