If you want to keep up on where
and when the flu is hitting, check out www.Flustar.com. The
comprehensive surveillance network contains data that is
complied and analyzed twice each week during the flu season. The
site gathers data from four different surveillance networks,
including rapid assay data and clinical diagnosis data, and then
provides information about flu outbreaks on a regional and
national level.
The network categorizes flu activity in communities as low,
moderate and high. The site allows you to enter a zip code and
returns detailed information about confirmed flu activity in
that area and how it relates to activity on a national level.

NURSE/FIREFIGHTER WINS OLYMPIC SILVER MEDAL!
Congratulations to Lea Ann Parsley for winning her Silver
Olympic Medal in Women's Skeleton! At age 33, Parsley has many
accomplishments under her belt. Here is a brief synopsis:
Parsley became a firefighter at age 16. In August 1999, the Ohio
Firefighters Association named her the "State of Ohio
Firefighter of the Year." The award was for helping to rescue a
handicapped teenager from a mobile home, then going back inside
to rescue the youth's unconscious mother.
Parsley's 11 years in school have produced three academic
degrees and she is working on a fourth. In 1990, she earned a
Bachelor of Arts in adult health from Marshall University in
Huntington, West Virginia. In 1992, she received a B.S. in
nursing from the University of Virginia. And two years later,
she earned her masters in nursing from Ohio State University.
She is currently working on her doctorate in community health at
OSU's College of Nursing. Her thesis? Critical Incident Stress
Management; how emergency and rescue personnel cope with what
they have seen during disasters.
Parsley put her academic work on hold until March 2002 to
focus on training for the Olympic Winter Games. Parsley was also
one of eight U.S. athletes chosen to carry the flag that was
recovered from the World Trade Center. Here are some links more
