Rotten office fridge cleanup sends seven workers to hospital SAN JOSE, Calif. - A California office worker cleaning a refrigerator full of rotten food created a smell so noxious that it sent seven co-workers to the hospital and made many others ill. Firefighters had to evacuate the AT&T building in downtown San Jose on Tuesday after the fumes led someone to call emergency services. A hazardous materials team was called in. What crews found was an unplugged refrigerator crammed with moldy food. Authorities say an enterprising office worker had decided to clean it out, placing the food in a conference room while using two cleaning chemicals to scrub down the mess. The mixture of old lunches and disinfectant caused 28 people to need treatment for vomiting and nausea. Authorities say the worker who cleaned the refrigerator didn't need treatment - she can't smell because of allergies.

School Community Council Annual Meeting May 26 7:00pm School Foyer “ Please consider this your invitation to attend” Come out and support your SCHOOL and the KIDS! Did you know…. Most of the time when we encounter the word "brandish" in print, it is followed by a word for a weapon, such as "knife" or "handgun." That's appropriate given the word's etymology: it derives via Middle English "braundisshen" from "brant, braund," the Anglo-French word for "sword." Nowadays you can brandish things other than weapons, however. The figurative usage of "brandish" rose alongside its earliest literal usage in the 14th century. When you brandish something that isn't a weapon (such as a sign), you are in effect waving it in someone's face so that it cannot be overlooked.

~Submission Deadline for the EDGE ~ is FRIDAY at 5:00 p.m. Network of multiple sclerosis research centres launches in Canada The pace of research on multiple sclerosis in Canada is expected to accelerate significantly, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada said Thursday in announcing five new research and training centres across the country. For the next three years, each centre will receive $100,000 per year to fund collaborative training and research activities, with the goal of discovering a cure for MS as quickly as possible. “I have always held on to a hope, a hope knowing that one they are going to find out what it is that causes MS and ultimately the cure," said Michelle Amerie, 43, of Toronto. "Without having that hope, without realizing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak, then I might as well close my door. I want my door wide open." Each centre will be linked to universities and teaching hospitals in one of five regions. Researchers and trainees affiliated with each centre will collaborate through conferences, regional workshops, online tools and inter-lab exchanges. The five centres' regions will be: Western-Pacific, covering B.C. and Saskatchewan. Alberta. Manitoba-Ontario, excluding Ottawa. Quebec-Ottawa. Atlantic (all four provinces in Atlantic Canada). Amerie called the announcement of the new research centres "exciting news" for the 75,000 people like her who are diagnosed with MS in Canada, as well as their loved ones and friends. Amerie experienced her first symptom of MS at 16 and was completely diagnosed four years later. Always an adventurous traveller, Amerie uses a manual wheelchair to help keep her energy up throughout the day. She loves to scuba dive, and has gone skydiving and mountain climbing in a specially designed wheelchair she compared to a wheelbarrow and a rickshaw. The disease is mysterious, and people with MS don't know how they will feel on any given day, Amerie noted. She urged people to be aware of the progress that is being made in MS research, adding the new research centres funded by the society will provide a new focus. Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world. The chronic, often disabling disease attacks the brain and spinal cord, and is the most common neurological disease in young adults in Canada. CBC.ca/news May 14, 2009

Did you know…. In the days before computers, small, local newspapers around the U.S. relied heavily on feature stories, editorials, and other printed material supplied by large publishing syndicates. The syndicates delivered that copy on metal plates with the type already in place so the local papers wouldn't have to set it. Printers apparently dubbed those syndicated plates "boiler plates" because of their resemblance to the plating used in making steam boilers. Soon "boilerplate" came to refer to the printed material on the plates as well as to the plates themselves. Because boilerplate stories were more often filler than hard news, the word acquired negative connotations and gained another sense widely used today: "hackneyed or unoriginal writing."
