FDA finds salmonella strain at second Mexican fann BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVA~ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER · WASHINGTON . - The salmonella strain linked to a nationwide outbreak has been found in irrigation waterand in a sample from a batch of serrano peppers at a Mexican farm, federal health officials said Wednesday. Dr. David Acheson, the Food and Drug Administration's .food safety chief, called the finding a key breakthrough in the case, as did another health official. "We have a smoking gun, it appears," said Dr. Lonnie King, who directs the center ·for foodborne illnesses at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Acheson said the [arm is in Nuevo Leon, Mexico . Previou sly, the FDA had traced a contaminated jalapeno pepper to a farm in the Mexican stale of Tamaulipas. Both farms shir.ped through a packing factlity in Nuevo Leon, raising the possibility that contamination could have occurred there. ihe FDA advised con· sumers to a void raw serrano pep~rs from Mexico, in addition to raw jalapeno peppers from Mexico, and any foods that contain them. In a statement Wednesday, Mexico's Agriculture Department said it "rejects" the FDA's conclusion that the source of the salmonella ·outbreak had been located in the Mexican farm's irrigation water. "The farm unit in question ended its harvest more than a month ago, so the sample they say they have lacks scienti fic validity" because the sample "was taken recently from a tank holding rain water tliat was not used in production," the statement said. "The government reiterates its call tor the FDA to use information responsibly and, above all, to base it on scientific evidence," <the statement concluded. .. Acheson and other officials were grilled at a congressional hearing about why the investigation originally focused on tomatoes. ·Industry representatives com-· plained that they have lost more than $:100 mi Ilion and h,ad to dump ~ns of perfectly good tomatoes they could not sell because of government warnings. The probe was slowed even more because FDA investigators were unfa· n1iliar with the workings of the tomato industry and were reluctant to share information, they said. "For weeks ·and weeks, investigators were on the trail of the wrong product," Thomas Stenzel, president of the United Fresh Produce Assn., told the House Agriculture Committee. But federal officials insisted that tomatoes still cannot be ruled out and that it is quite possible the outbreak was caused b)" several different kinds of contaminated produce. "I don't \hink we can say that (tomatoes) were needlessly dumped," Acheson told reporters after the hearing. "The early part of the investigation clearly implicated tomatoes." The outbreak has sickened more than I ,300 people si nce April. · Tomatoes had been the prime suspect in the nationwide outbreak for weeks. But last week, the FDA said only jalapeno peppers grow n in Mexico were curre,ntly implicated in the nationwide salmonella outbreak. The FDA said then it had found the same strain of salmonel- · Ia responsible for the out· break on a single Mex icangrown jalapeno in a south Texas produce . warehouse. The agency explained that any contaminated tomatoes would ' be out of the food suppl y chain ty now.

The 2.1 OO~yea r-old Anlikythcra Mechanism was recovered from an ancient shipwreck in 190 I ncar Antikythera. a small island off Greece's soulh coast. Its insides iook like a clock.

FDA finds salmonella strain at second Mexican fann BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVA~ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER · WASHINGTON . - The salmonella strain linked to a nationwide outbreak has been found in irrigation waterand in a sample from a batch of serrano peppers at a Mexican farm, federal health officials said Wednesday. Dr. David Acheson, the Food and Drug Administration's .food safety chief, called the finding a key breakthrough in the case, as did another health official. "We have a smoking gun, it appears," said Dr. Lonnie King, who directs the center ·for foodborne illnesses at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Acheson said the [arm is in Nuevo Leon, Mexico . Previou sly, the FDA had traced a contaminated jalapeno pepper to a farm in the Mexican stale of Tamaulipas. Both farms shir.ped through a packing factlity in Nuevo Leon, raising the possibility that contamination could have occurred there. ihe FDA advised con· sumers to a void raw serrano pep~rs from Mexico, in addition to raw jalapeno peppers from Mexico, and any foods that contain them. In a statement Wednesday, Mexico's Agriculture Department said it "rejects" the FDA's conclusion that the source of the salmonella ·outbreak had been located in the Mexican farm's irrigation water. "The farm unit in question ended its harvest more than a month ago, so the sample they say they have lacks scienti fic validity" because the sample "was taken recently from a tank holding rain water tliat was not used in production," the statement said. "The government reiterates its call tor the FDA to use information responsibly and, above all, to base it on scientific evidence," <the statement concluded. .. Acheson and other officials were grilled at a congressional hearing about why the investigation originally focused on tomatoes. ·Industry representatives com-· plained that they have lost more than $:100 mi Ilion and h,ad to dump ~ns of perfectly good tomatoes they could not sell because of government warnings. The probe was slowed even more because FDA investigators were unfa· n1iliar with the workings of the tomato industry and were reluctant to share information, they said. "For weeks ·and weeks, investigators were on the trail of the wrong product," Thomas Stenzel, president of the United Fresh Produce Assn., told the House Agriculture Committee. But federal officials insisted that tomatoes still cannot be ruled out and that it is quite possible the outbreak was caused b)" several different kinds of contaminated produce. "I don't \hink we can say that (tomatoes) were needlessly dumped," Acheson told reporters after the hearing. "The early part of the investigation clearly implicated tomatoes." The outbreak has sickened more than I ,300 people si nce April. · Tomatoes had been the prime suspect in the nationwide outbreak for weeks. But last week, the FDA said only jalapeno peppers grow n in Mexico were curre,ntly implicated in the nationwide salmonella outbreak. The FDA said then it had found the same strain of salmonel- · Ia responsible for the out· break on a single Mex icangrown jalapeno in a south Texas produce . warehouse. The agency explained that any contaminated tomatoes would ' be out of the food suppl y chain ty now. For now, the focus of the investigation is on the two farms in Mexico, which Acheson said are quite far from each ot her.

ALAN ROBINSON I : ' .'I l,, l ~ l CC Sabathia says 'thank you' to fans '. CLEVELAND (AP) -. CC Sab~thia is winning . games in Milwaukee and hearts in Cleveland. The left-bander, traded from the Indians to the Brewers for ·f o u r prospects on July 7, took out a large ad Wednesday in the sports section of Cleveland.'s daily newspaper, The Plain Dealer - a $12,870 thank you to the ~ommunity, the team and its fans. · "Thank you for 10. great years :.. You've touched our lives with your kindness, love and generosity. We are forever grateful! It's been a privilege and an honor!" read the ad, signed by CC; his wife Amber and the Sabathia family. : "Wow, that just blows me <:\Way," Indians right-hander Paul Byrd said. "What a ¢ool thing to do by a really great guy." .. It was a touch completely unexpected by Indians fans, who have become embit«:red through the years at ~ing star players such as . )\]bert Belle, Manny Ramirez and Jim Thome spurn the city for the riches of free agency elsewhere. "I'm sorry he's gpne and this is just one reason why," said John · Stevens, a fan attending the Indians' game against the Detroit Tigers at · Progressive Field on Wednesday night. "He said his goal was to bring a World Series championship ip Cleveland. I hope he comes back to the Indians and does it. I haven't given U!l hope." Sabathia is eligible for free agency after this sea-. son. Indians general manager Mark Shapiro wanted to si~n the 2007 AL Cy Young ;wmner to a contract exten~on, but when the team played its way out of contention in late June, he · decided to get prospects in return for his ace. ~· "That ad shows how much CC cares very deeplr, about his time here, • Inaian s manager Eric Wedge said. · "He's more ·than a great baseball player.

When the ·four-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman realized he wouldn' t rriake ·it, who ran up to lend not only a helping hand but offer words of consolation? Not another defensive player, but quarterback · Ben Roethlisberger. It's a much-repeated scene only four days into the Steelers' camp: Roethlisberger isn't just running the offense, he's leading it. The entire team, too. There's no hiding it: The Steelers are Big Ben 's team. Not Jerome Bettis' team or Alan Faneca's team or Hines Ward's team, but one that now relies on No. 7. "Absolutely," said new to about Roethli sbcr~cr. ··one ·million dollars is~ a ,lot of money." . That 's $102 million to be precise, though the 26-yearotd Roethlisberger probably won't see all of it. A nice chunk of it, $36 million , is guaranteed, including the $25.5 million signing bonus. ·Such a contract isn't uncommon for NFL ·star quarterbacks, but it's a huge commitment for a team that previously declined to devote nearly as much cash to a single player. But Roethlisberger already is the second-most accomplished quarterback in the 76-yearold franchise's hi story to Terry Bradshaw, even though he is beginning only his fifth season on the job. Coincidentally, it wasn'.t until his fifth season in I974 that Bradshaw, one of the greatest big-game quarterbacks iri NFL history. fully ries in six se<Jsons. At the same stage of his career. Roethlisberger has won a Super Bowl and is averaging I I victories per season. ''The guy keeps getting better," Ward·said. "And you know he's going to keep getting bettef." . Other than winning multiple Super Bowls, there isn't much Roethli sberger hasn't done since the Steelers drafted him No. 11 overall in 2004. He went 13-0 in 2004, by far the best record for an NFL rookie quarterback, won a Super Bowl the next season. then set Steelers' single- season records with 32 tolll:hdown passes and a I04.

The left-bander, traded from the Indians to the Brewers for ·f o u r prospects on July 7, took out a large ad Wednesday in the sports section of Cleveland.'s daily newspaper, The Plain Dealer - a $12,870 thank you to the ~ommunity, the team and its fans. · "Thank you for 10. great years :.. You've touched our lives with your kindness, love and generosity. We are forever grateful! It's been a privilege and an honor!" read the ad, signed by CC; his wife Amber and the Sabathia family. : "Wow, that just blows me <:\Way," Indians right-hander Paul Byrd said. "What a ¢ool thing to do by a really great guy." .. It was a touch completely unexpected by Indians fans, who have become embit«:red through the years at ~ing star players such as . )\]bert Belle, Manny Ramirez and Jim Thome spurn the city for the riches of free agency elsewhere. "I'm sorry he's gpne and this is just one reason why," said John · Stevens, a fan attending the Indians' game against the Detroit Tigers at · Progressive Field on Wednesday night. "He said his goal was to bring a World Series championship ip Cleveland. I hope he comes back to the Indians and does it. I haven't given U!l hope." Sabathia is eligible for free agency after this sea-. son. Indians general manager Mark Shapiro wanted to si~n the 2007 AL Cy Young ;wmner to a contract exten~on, but when the team played its way out of contention in late June, he · decided to get prospects in return for his ace. ~· "That ad shows how much CC cares very deeplr, about his time here, • Inaian s manager Eric Wedge said. · "He's more ·than a great baseball player.

When the ·four-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman realized he wouldn' t rriake ·it, who ran up to lend not only a helping hand but offer words of consolation? Not another defensive player, but quarterback · Ben Roethlisberger. It's a much-repeated scene only four days into the Steelers' camp: Roethlisberger isn't just running the offense, he's leading it. The entire team, too. There's no hiding it: The Steelers are Big Ben 's team. Not Jerome Bettis' team or Alan Faneca's team or Hines Ward's team, but one that now relies on No. 7. "Absolutely," said new to about Roethli sbcr~cr. ··one ·million dollars is~ a ,lot of money." . That 's $102 million to be precise, though the 26-yearotd Roethlisberger probably won't see all of it. A nice chunk of it, $36 million , is guaranteed, including the $25.5 million signing bonus. ·Such a contract isn't uncommon for NFL ·star quarterbacks, but it's a huge commitment for a team that previously declined to devote nearly as much cash to a single player. But Roethlisberger already is the second-most accomplished quarterback in the 76-yearold franchise's hi story to Terry Bradshaw, even though he is beginning only his fifth season on the job. Coincidentally, it wasn'.t until his fifth season in I974 that Bradshaw, one of the greatest big-game quarterbacks iri NFL history. fully ries in six se<Jsons. At the same stage of his career.

Other than winning multiple Super Bowls, there isn't much Roethli sberger hasn't done since the Steelers drafted him No. 11 overall in 2004. He went 13-0 in 2004, by far the best record for an NFL rookie quarterback, won a Super Bowl the next season. then set Steelers' single- season records with 32 tolll:hdown passes and a I04.

Whatever The Daily Sentinel • Page 83 Willie McGinest is domg, rookies, veterans and coaches take note "He has shown me a lot," trght end Steve Hetden said. "He reminded me of how Jumor Seau (Heiden's former teammate) did things out m San Diego, a workmanshrp-type deal. He's always m the weight room and he's always around .the facility.

As the startmg left outsrde linebacker in Cleveland's 3-4 scheme, McGmest's dulles are to contain any runmng plays to the edge, rush the passer and drop back into pass covera~e. Because of his size - btgger than most linebackers, smaller than defensive lineman - and speed, he has helped transhis position. While not as quick as he once was, McGmes1 makes up for any deficrencies with smarts. "You know' how long he has been in the league, but when you see him on the field , he doesn't play like that," third-year linebacker Leon Wrlhams satd. "He's still the frrst one off the ball. He knows all the calls. He still plays hke a young guy out there," Williams has idolized McGinest smce he was little. And now that he's a teammate, Williams vtews McGinest as h1s role model on and off the field . "I had his playing card as a k1d," W1lliams said.

This weekend, his good fnend, Andre Tippett, will fmally be enshrined iii Canton after getting enoug~ votes m his IOth year of eligtbility. Ttppett, who spent hts ent1re career w1th the Patriots, was a five-lime Pro Bowl selection who finished with I00 sacks. McGinest will enter thts season with 85, not mcludmg his 16 durmg the postseason. When the time comes to debate McGmest's Hall ~f Fame credentials, perhaps the strongest case for his election will be that he was arguably the Patriots' best defensive player during the club's stretch run of Super Bowl tttles Winning a fourth one with the Browns would probably cement his candidacy. McGmest doesn't lil\e to talk about hts legacy, but he wants to . leave a lastmg , imprint on th~ game. "I look at it that we are all spokes on a wheel and we have to fine tune ourselves to make 11 go around," he said.

This weekend, his good fnend, Andre Tippett, will fmally be enshrined iii Canton after getting enoug~ votes m his IOth year of eligtbility. Ttppett, who spent hts ent1re career w1th the Patriots, was a five-lime Pro Bowl selection who finished with I00 sacks. McGinest will enter thts season with 85, not mcludmg his 16 durmg the postseason. When the time comes to debate McGmest's Hall ~f Fame credentials, perhaps the strongest case for his election will be that he was arguably the Patriots' best defensive player during the club's stretch run of Super Bowl tttles Winning a fourth one with the Browns would probably cement his candidacy. McGmest doesn't lil\e to talk about hts legacy, but he wants to . leave a lastmg , imprint on th~ game. "I look at it that we are all spokes on a wheel and we have to fine tune ourselves to make 11 go around," he said. "If I can leave an tmpresston on guys, it's defInitely a compliment to me and I'm flattered by it. "I try not to think about that stuff, though."

W.Va. - For more than 25 y~ars, Magi<: Years Daycare in Point Pleasant . W.Va., has been ofTering . quality childcare and education to children in the tri-county area. The center is owned by Robin Bias, who started her career in childcare with, Dottie Campbell before deciding to branch out on her own and become stalelicensed . She started Magic Years Daycare in the back of the Lutheran church in 1980, and from there her grandparents, Walden and Louise Roush, started plans to build her her own facility. The licensed childcare center opened Sept. 6, 19R6. It was a dream come true for Bias, whose upbringing in education - her mother, Maudellen (Roush) Henry was a Mason County teacher, and three of her sisters teach in Mason County. while one teaches in Cabell County - helped further fuel her dream of offering q,uality childcare in her hometown. The philosophy upon which she has built her center is one of long-standing values. The staff believes that adult-child relations in early childhood programs are important to the child's security, selfconfidence and learning. They think families of the children they se rve should be )istened to, and they want to build on the strengths those families provide. In fact , they act as a support beam to the families ' nurturing process and provide opportunities for families to interact with staff members, other families and community resources .

As society has evolved, however, and ·more and more women began entering the workplace. many of the workplace barriers , keeping both men and women from pursuing certain professions. began to crumble. placing a greater emphasis on one's qualifications !'or a job than one's gender. While much has been made of the numerous instances in which women advanced up the ladder in the ''boys' club" environment of many of the world's largest corporations, women aren 'l the only ones breaking down barriers. Men, too. have begun pursuing careers that. just a decade or two earlier. were unofficially considered jobs strictly for the fairer sex. The following careers are- beginning to appeal to more and more men. while some are looking to increase that appeal to draw more men into their ranks . . • Teacher: While nearly everyone who grew up in the Un ited States can likely recall having a male teacher · or two, males are far less· common in the · profession than females. The Nat ion aI Educati on As soc iat ion reports that only 25 percent of its nearly 3 mi II ion teachers are males . . In addition. men who are teachers seem to be more dr;twn to. secondary euucation, as less than I0 percent of the male teachers throughout the · cou ntry are elementary sc_hool lea~hers. Because_ of the d1ffere nt pomts of View and expenence men and women each bnng to the workplace, lots . of school districts are_scekmg to a~d men to their stalfs, makmg t~iS one of the b_etter tradillonally female fields for_ men .to become mvolved ·~ · . ~· Medacal . Assas.ta~~: ~any JObs as m~uic.~l .tsststants do not reqUJre a lour-year degree. Schooling and certification is typ- ically involved, but a job as a medical assistant can be one of the more lucrative careers available to persons without a fouryear degree. That could be one reasun more ami more males are see king to become medical assistants. Rather than work long hours outdoors for relatively low pay. many men who have not graduated fron\ college have begun migrating toward careers as medical assistants. which often pay substantially more and arc far less taxing on the body than jobs as laborers. • Nurse: Nursing is per. haps the field most' instantly associated with women. . That's an unfortunate stereotype, as the small number of men who cur- · rently work as nurses admit they find the work fulfilling and rewarding.

As society has evolved, however, and ·more and more women began entering the workplace. many of the workplace barriers , keeping both men and women from pursuing certain professions. began to crumble. placing a greater emphasis on one's qualifications !'or a job than one's gender. While much has been made of the numerous instances in which women advanced up the ladder in the ''boys' club" environment of many of the world's largest corporations, women aren 'l the only ones breaking down barriers. Men, too. have begun pursuing careers that. just a decade or two earlier. were unofficially considered jobs strictly for the fairer sex. The following careers are- beginning to appeal to more and more men. while some are looking to increase that appeal to draw more men into their ranks . . • Teacher: While nearly everyone who grew up in the Un ited States can likely recall having a male teacher · or two, males are far less· common in the · profession than females.

Economic Development Director Perry Varnado;;: pointed to announcements by several firms of plans to locate businesses here. the jobs those. new industries will create for construction and once operational. and indications that the countv 's retail climate is improvin-g. Varnadoe said a steady increase in the collection or the cpunty 's one-percent sales tax is an indication that people are spending more money in the local community and that more people are coming here to spend money . Munidpal American Power is in the final stages of determining whether to invest $3 billion to build a facility in the county that will use I ,500 construction workers over 36-48 months and ISO permanent jobs. "They should make a final decision this summer," Varnadoe said, adding that along with the AMP project, the Anderson Company would build a facility thl)t would employ 20 to use a by-product of the facility to • pr6duce fertilizer.

I. • Thursday, July 31, 2008 Taking steps to balance work and family (MS) - Whether they ' re Jogging extra hours in the office or taking work home with them , many professionals today · work hard so they can better provide for their families . Parents often say. "I want my children to have things I didn't have growing up." While such a thou~ht process is both natural and admirable. It's also somewhat of a catch-22 . The more parents work to provide for their families, the more they tend to deprive their .children of what they need most: time with their folks . Of course , the fact such a dil.emma exists comes as no surprise to working ' parents, who struggle each day to let their kids know they come first and work second. Adding to the struggle is that, unlike previous generations, more of today's ' children are growing up with both parents working, further strain.ing the balance between work and family. With both parents having commitments outside the household , meshing two adult schedules with the schedule of a child (or children) is harder than ever before. But just like families must work together within themselves to ensure they spend quality time with one another, parents and their employers need to take steps to rnaintain a healthy balance between work and family. • Ask for or institute family-friendly benefits or policies . Recognizing the needs of their workforce, many companies, particularly larger ones. have begun 'to institute policies such as flexible schedules, work-from-home opportunities and on-site daycare . among others. These are a great way for an employer to let staff know their needs away from the office are a concern , too . Employers without such benefits should consider them, while employees should open a dialogue with their employer as to the likelihood of implementing such policies. The benefits of such policies are abundant for all parties involved. Employers will notice workers who are less stressed and less prone to fatigue. In addition , companies that provide such benefits tend t.o attract better candidates for job openings . For parents, such benefits help lessen some of the daily load. while provide more time to spend with the kids. . • Don't let go of your values . Again , this can apply to both employees and employers. Employees need to keep in mind that while it 's nice to give kids something you might not have had , i't's nicer yet to spend time with them. Ulti- mately, making it to all of your kids soccer games or piano recitals will mean more to your child than another yideo game. For employers . es pecially those with small businesses, it 's often best to reflect on why you started your own business. More often thari' not , one of the main reasons small · business owners set out on their own is .to leave behind a world where their time was becoming less and less their own . Small business owners or even managers in large corporations should remember a parent 's first respon~i­ bility is to his or her chijdren , not his employer. Encourage such a thought process and do what you can to make meeting the needs of family easier for . your employees. , • Become more efficient.

I. • Thursday, July 31, 2008 Taking steps to balance work and family (MS) - Whether they ' re Jogging extra hours in the office or taking work home with them , many professionals today · work hard so they can better provide for their families . Parents often say. "I want my children to have things I didn't have growing up." While such a thou~ht process is both natural and admirable. It's also somewhat of a catch-22 . The more parents work to provide for their families, the more they tend to deprive their .children of what they need most: time with their folks . Of course , the fact such a dil.emma exists comes as no surprise to working ' parents, who struggle each day to let their kids know they come first and work second. Adding to the struggle is that, unlike previous generations, more of today's ' children are growing up with both parents working, further strain.ing the balance between work and family. With both parents having commitments outside the household , meshing two adult schedules with the schedule of a child (or children) is harder than ever before. But just like families must work together within themselves to ensure they spend quality time with one another, parents and their employers need to take steps to rnaintain a healthy balance between work and family. • Ask for or institute family-friendly benefits or policies . Recognizing the needs of their workforce, many companies, particularly larger ones. have begun 'to institute policies such as flexible schedules, work-from-home opportunities and on-site daycare . among others. These are a great way for an employer to let staff know their needs away from the office are a concern , too . Employers without such benefits should consider them, while employees should open a dialogue with their employer as to the likelihood of implementing such policies. The benefits of such policies are abundant for all parties involved. Employers will notice workers who are less stressed and less prone to fatigue. In addition , companies that provide such benefits tend t.o attract better candidates for job openings . For parents, such benefits help lessen some of the daily load. while provide more time to spend with the kids. . • Don't let go of your values . Again , this can apply to both employees and employers. Employees need to keep in mind that while it 's nice to give kids something you might not have had , i't's nicer yet to spend time with them. Ulti- mately, making it to all of your kids soccer games or piano recitals will mean more to your child than another yideo game. For employers . es pecially those with small businesses, it 's often best to reflect on why you started your own business. More often thari' not , one of the main reasons small · business owners set out on their own is .to leave behind a world where their time was becoming less and less their own . Small business owners or even managers in large corporations should remember a parent 's first respon~i­ bility is to his or her chijdren , not his employer. Encourage such a thought process and do what you can to make meeting the needs of family easier for . your employees. , • Become more efficient. While it 's perfectly normal and healthy to take breaks · throughout the workday, limit the time you spend around the water cooler or getting a cup of coffee. In the long run , distraCtions or extended breaks only extend the time it takes to do your-job , which in tum limits your ability to leave the office ori time and get home and see your family . Employers, as well , can take steps to , .increase efficiency.
