| 276 people ride, walk and run around the ring for fitness | ||

276 employees made their way around the four-mile Tevatron ring during last Wednesday's Health and Fitness Day. Included in the event was a stretch station where employees drew cards with instructions for neck rolls and arm stretches; an obstacle course complete with hopscotch; and an exercise station with dice labeled with jumping jacks and other activities. 110 prizes, including arm band radios, swim gloves and dumbbells were raffled and a participation trophy was given to the division or section with the greatest percent participation. The trophy went to Business Services at 37.96 percent, a slight edge over Lab Services at 37.50 percent. "Special thanks to volunteers from the Wellness Committee, RFACS, and to Karen Kalex and Lou Delmonte for all of their help," said Recreation Manager Jean Guyer. "We couldn't have done this without them."

| Town Hall Electrical Safety Meeting Tomorrow in 1 West | ||
|
||
|
Got questions about electrical safety? Come to the Electrical Safety Town Hall meeting in One West tomorrow at 10 a.m. to get answers from Electrical Safety Subcommittee chair Bob Ducar and his panel of experts.
"This meeting is for anybody who has questions, or who wants to learn a little more about electricity," said Ducar. Attendees can ask about anything that has to do with electricity or electrical safety, from shock or arc-flash dangers at work to wiring for home improvement projects. "We want people to be safe both at home and at work," said Ducar. "We'll entertain any question about electricity."
The allotted time for the meeting is one and a half hours, but the actual length depends on how many questions are asked. "The meeting is voluntary and very informal," said Ducar. "Just show up when you can and be ready to ask questions."

Duke University News, May 19, 2006: International Symposium to Assess Present and Future Promise of World's Most Powerful Particle Colliders
As a time of major transition in physics research draws closer, an international group of scientists will meet May 22-26 at Duke University for this year's Hadron Collider Physics Symposium. Participants will review the latest results from what is now the world's most powerful subatomic particle smasher and review final planning for its even more powerful successor now nearing completion.

| Cumulative Trauma Disorder | |
Fermilab takes pride in its committed work force. Paradoxically, an employee's positive attitude of "the job needs to get done" can sometimes lead to making a condition worse. Too often people ignore the discomfort, attempting to work through the pain, until the condition has reached an advanced stage. At that point, prescription drugs, physical therapy, injections or surgery may be needed. Dr. Foxen of Fermilab's Medical Department urges workers to be aware of pain patterns that may signal the onset of CTD. Typically, there is a gradual onset of pain, numbness or tingling in the wrist, hand, neck, shoulder or elbow with repeated use. If caught early, CTD's can often be completely reversed with simple and inexpensive measures such as resting the painful part, altering the work station and using over the counter pain medicine or cold packs. If you have pain lasting more than 4-6 weeks that is not responding to these measures, consider consultation with the Medical Department staff or your personal health care provider. |
