parents get exemptions for their children, but the figure is higher in some areas, Glanz said.Even if children survive a bout with whooping cough unscathed, they can spread illness-causing bacteria to more vulnerable victims, he said, including babies not yet vaccinated.Vaccinations for whooping cough are given in five doses between 2 months and 18 months of age.Glanz said commonly employed vaccines are tightly regulated and monitored and are safe -- but he said that does not prevent misinformation from circulating on the Internet and by word of mouth about supposed dangers."I'm hoping that our study is an additional piece of information that doctors can use when conveying the risks and benefits," he said."There's a spectrum of parents that are concerned. states allow schools to give medical exemptions for not getting a child vaccinated, and some states give religious exemptions or simply allow parents to refuse vaccinations out of a belief children face potential harm.About 1 percent of U.S. cases in 2007, so it was chosen to study the impact of vaccine refusals, Glanz said in a telephone interview."The U.S. The regime governing the clauses for the 36 executives is similar to thatdescribed for the executive directors and senior executives, except in the caseof certain specific termination benefits of the senior executives International Endesa Copyright Business Wire 2009. These conditions are alternatives to those derived from changes to thepre-existing employment relationship or the termination thereof due topre-retirement for the CEO and senior executives. But some of those who had hoped for radical change blame him, as well as Khatami, for failing to stand up to Iran's hardline religious establishment.VOTER APATHYDisenchantment with "reformist" leaders thwarted in that era may translate into a low turnout, compared with the mobilization that gave Khatami landslide victories in 1997 and 2001.Karoubi, who favors economic liberalization and better ties with the West, accuses Ahmadinejad of isolating Iran with his vitriolic attacks on the United States, his combative line on Iran's nuclear policy and his belittling of the Holocaust."Our policy is one of detente. We want to have interaction with the whole world except Israel," he declared in March.In Iran's clerical system, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, not the president, has the last say on national issues such as nuclear policy and relations with the United States.Former Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi, a close Khatami ally, is among influential technocrats and politicians, from centrists to left-wingers, who have joined Karoubi's campaign."A rainbow coalition advises me on social, economic and political issues.
This is my key to success," said Karoubi on a campaign trip to the central city of Isfahan in May.His campaign manager is Gholamhossein Karbaschi, a dynamic former mayor of Tehran who launched big infrastructure projects but later faced corruption charges brought by hardliners.Karoubi, born in 1937 in the western province of Lorestan, is the only candidate to form a party, the National Trust party.He has faulted Revolutionary Guards officials for siding with Ahmadinejad despite a ban on armed forces' involvement in partisan politics.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Zimbabwe is on the brink of having 100,000 infections of cholera, a preventable disease that has already killed 4,283 people there and remains a serious threat, the Zimbabwean Red Cross and its partners said on Tuesday. HealthThe damaged water and sewage systems that triggered the recent outbreak in the southern African country remain neglected, and stand to cause another public health crisis, they said in a new report."Communities across the country are still without access to potable water and basic sanitation," said the report released by the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). The WHO has said those countries were able to avoid the high death rate seen in Zimbabwe because their health and water systems were able to respond appropriately.Given that Zimbabwe is the country most dependent on food aid in the world, and has a very high HIV/AIDS infection rate at around 15 percent, the IFRC's Conneally said it was critical to shield poor rural dwellers from infections that could exacerbate pressures in the fragile country."All of these factors are interlinked," he said.(For details on the IFRC program see )(For more information about Zimbabwe's cholera crisis and other humanitarian issues see ) Health.

People are starting to focus on the timing and shape of the recovery, rather than assuming that the shoots will grow into trees."This will add to those who believe that after a 30 percent increase in the S&P 500 we need a reality check as to what the green shoots are going to lead to."SCOTT BROWN, CHIEF ECONOMIST, RAYMOND JAMES & ASSOCIATES, ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA:The S&P/Case-Shiller reading was "maybe a little bit lower than expected. We had hoped to see the pace of home price declines moderating. Two percent per month is still worrisome."GARY THAYER, SENIOR ECONOMIST, WELLS FARGO ADVISORS, ST.
