The U.S. Census Bureau reported a 2010 savings of $1.6 billion. This is in large part due to all the Americans taking initiative to be counted in the system, and to the thousands of hard working census staff members across the U.S. who helped ensure that people got counted.

Some questions are coming in from folks who completed and mailed back their census forms, but are being visited by census workers in person, or receiving a phone call from the US Census Bureau.

Know the Difference between Cold and Swine Flu Symptoms

 

H1N1 Flu (referred to as "swine flu" early on) is a new influenza virus that is unpredictable, evolving and widespread. Declared a global pandemic in June, the flu is expected to stress the schools, healthcare systems and the economy this year. The virus is spreading from person-to-person, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times could lead to death. 

The Ohio Asian American Health Coalition (OAAHC) has an exciting opportunity for someone interested in helping to advance the health and well being of Ohio's Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPI) population.  Attached is an opportunity for an Executive Director position with OAAHC. 

Please see the information below regarding H1N1 flu. This may be useful for the individuals you serve.
