[OPLINLIST] Closing June 11?

[Linda Hren]

      Will any of you be closing your library Friday, June 11, since the
President has issued an Executive Order for closing Government Departments
and Agencies on June 11, 2004 "as a mark of respect for Ronald Reagan"?
      It seems logical that libraries would close.

What's New on NetWellness- June 1, 2004

Summer Safety - June's Feature

Summer is a time for fun for you and your family, so don't let the sun make
you long for rainy days. Have questions about protecting you and the kids
from the sun? Is it too late and now you need to know what to do about that
burn?  NetWellness can help!


Department of the Month - Center for Human Genetics, University Hospitals of
Cleveland

Two faculty members from The Center for Human Genetics at University
Hospitals of Cleveland answer questions and write content for NetWellness.
*	Anne Matthews, RN, PhD on Inherited Disorders and Birth Defects, and
*	 Duane Culler, MS on Cancer Genetics.
Their perspectives help NetWellness visitors understand concepts in
genetics, interpret genetic risks, and learn more about inherited disorders.


The Center for Human Genetics, a unique collaboration between clinicians of
University Hospitals of Cleveland and researchers of Case Western Reserve
University, specializes in evaluation, diagnosis and counseling for
individuals of all ages and their family members. The Center's faculty
includes board-certified medical geneticists and genetic counselors who
serve patients for a variety of conditions. Examples include children and
adults with developmental difficulties, individuals with or family histories
of birth defects or genetic disorders, pregnant women who have an
abnormality detected on prenatal testing and adults with early onset cancer.
Some genetic diseases are not yet treatable; therefore, the center and their
faculty and staff ensure that patients and their family are carefully
educated about prognosis, complications that may occur and the best therapy
currently available.

More Experts!  Arthritis and Rheumatoid Diseases and Smoking Cessation

*	Avis Ware, MD, Assistant Professor, and Douglas Lienesch, MD,
