VLMER VlmerOOO@uwp.edu After an isolated group of University of Wisconsin - Parks ide athletes were diagnosed with staphylococcus (staph) infections, portions of the Sports and Activities Center were temporarily shut down on Wednesday, Oct. 17. After the areas were closed to investigate the public health issue, the affected areas were then reopened to the public on Friday, Oct. 19. The athletes who were diagnosed with infections are currently being investigated to determine whether or not the staph infections are methicillin- resistant staphylococcus aureus. The results of those tests will not be available until early this week. MRSA is resistant to many of the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat staph infect.ions. Because MRSA can resist all but the strongest of drugs, it can cause more serious infections like pneumonia and joint and bloodstream infections. Responding to the possibility of MRSA infections, officials immediately shut down high-contact areas used by the student athletes. Disinfecting procedures received from the Kenosha County Health Department were implemented, THE RANGER NEWS University of Wisconsin-Porkside's Student Newspaper October 23, 2007 News Since 1972 Staph"iiiieoc"ti~jii;'jd';iiiit"'ibd'~'wi1'""" Sports and Activities Center This is a scanning eJectron micrograph depicting Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. S. aureus, often referred to simply as "staph". are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. Staph bacteria are one of the most common causes of skin infections in the United States. http://www.lib.uiowa.edulhardin/md/cdc/staph/sem4.html and the KCHD visited campus on Thursday, Oct. 18 to determine that the university had taken all necessary precautions to reopen the facility. Staph bacteria are normally found on the skin or in the nose of about one-third of the population. lf a person has staph on his skin but does not feel sick, he is "colonized" but not infected with the bacteria. Healthy people can be colonized and experience no ill effects; however, it is easy to spread the bacteria to others. When staph bacteria enter the body through an injury to the skin, symptoms may include redness, warmth, swelling and tenderness of the skin, as well as boils or blisters. Staph is most often spread through direct skin- to-skin contact, but can also be picked up from commonly shared items. To control MRSA outbreaks on sport teams, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all athletes shower and wash with soap after all practices and competitions. All wounds that could be potentially infectious skin lesions should be adequately covered, or the athletes who are infected should be excluded from practice until the lesions are healed or can be adequately covered. Also, all shared sports equipment should be regularly cleaned. The best way to prevent the spread of staph infections is to practice good hand washing. The Wisconsin Division of Public Health recommends washing the hands with anti-bacterial soap under hot water for at least 15 seconds. They also strongly discourage sharing personal items such as towels, clothing, soap and deodorant. If a student develops a skin lesion, he or she should contact the Student Health and Counseling Center at 262-595- 2366. The SAC staff will soon receive training to educate patrons on how to prevent infections. Hand sanitizers will also be available at each activity area in the SAC.

VLMER U1merOOO@uwp.edu Northwestern Mutual, an insurance and financial services company, is now hiring interns for their Racine office. This internship is listed as one of the top ten internships in America by the 2006 edition of the Vault Guide to Internships. Other top ten internships include the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Electronic Arts, Hewlett Packard, INROADS, National Institutes of Health, New York Yankees, Procter & Gamble, SEO Career Program and the Supreme Court of the United States. The internship at Northwestern Mutual allows students to work the way a full- time employee of the company would work, but with part-time hours. They can also choose which hours to work and work around their school schedules. Most internships last for one semester to up to two years, allowing students to work part- time during the school year and full-time during the summer. "You do not necessarily have to do all of your work in- house," said recruiter Amanda Stanaitis. "I cannot stress enough the flexibility that comes with this internship," she added. Interns make a commission based upon sales, which are primarily insurance sales, as well as a stipend of $100 per week. The top fifty percent of interns make an average commission of $9,584 per year. Although the internship deals primarily in sales, Stanaitis explained the benefits of gaining strong sales experience. "Until you sell yourself, I can guarantee that you will not be able t.osell me anything else unless you really love it," said Stanaitis. "Almost all jobs you apply for. ..always appreciate sales experience." At Northwestern Mutual, interns are offered insurance and financial classes. They are also invited to participate in the company's annual meeting and awards show, which recognizes the year's top interns. New interns are first trained in a workshop setting and then attend weekly meetings to work on individual areas needing improvement. Continuing training for employees includes workshops with the managing director and one-an-one meetings with lead interns. Training can "go as fast or as slow as you want it to go," accord.ing to Stanaitis. After submitting a resume, students are required to fill out an online assessment to determine their skills. Then, they may be requested for an interview with the managing director and may be asked to give a presentation about themselves. Successful applicants will also be given 10- 15 marketing surveys to get a feel for the market before starting on the job. Students who arc studying accounting, banking, business, economics, finance, insurance, marketing and sales are welcome to apply. Those who are interested in this internship can submit their resumes to Stanaitis at Amanda.stanaitis@mnfn. com. For more information about this internship opportunity, visit www.nrninternship.com.

Despite their help, we still lost both of the matches We played, but it was still a lot offun. One of our newer reporters, Ryan Montross, even decided to cover the event as his first sports article. This is where problems with accuracy came in. Ryan was very eager to get quotes from other students who were competing in the tournament. So eager, in fact, that he did not realize that some of the players were giving him false names. PaJ1 of the problem was also that they gave him fake names wh.ich were fairly obscure, and in some cases, he did not notice the en-or until he tried searching some of the names online to find they were the names of little-known celebrities or h.istorical individuals. I hope the individuals involved in this whole fiasco understand that giving false information to the newspaper, although it is not illegal as it would be if you lied to the police, is at the very least not a good practice. Not only does it compromise our integrity, but also your integrity for not telling the truth. On a brighter note, The Ranger News staff has voted to approve professor Adrienne Viramontes' request to serve as our advisor. We look forward to working with her and think sbe will be a valuable asset to our staff. Congratulations, Adrienne! Opinion Editor One of the goals of this newspaper, and all newspapers for that matter, is to provide timely and accurate news. As a weekly, we sometimes struggle to stay timely, but we always strive to report information accurately. However, our ability to maintain that accuracy greatly depends on our sources, which are sometimes not as reliable as we would like them to be.

But this is not a war film in the classic sense; there are no daring raids and exploding trains. There are only cold, hungry, desperate men and women who move invisibly through the Nazi occupation of France. They use false names, they have no addresses, they can be betrayed in an instant by a traitor or by accident and they know they will probably die. Jean-Pierre Melville, who himself was a resistance member, depicts the intricate details of the shadowy world of the resistance network, making this a riveting historical film nair.
