On Jan 1, 2009, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was significantly and purposefully amended to broaden the number of employees who can claim to be disabled and seek ADA protection. Under the ADA Amendment Act of 2008 (ADAAA), more individuals will likely be deemed disabled and will qualify for reasonable accommodations and protections from alleged discrimination. The prior ADA did not define the term "major life activities." Rather, the EEOC (by regulation) and the courts (by case law) developed a list of examples. The ADAAA expands that term to epic proportions. The revised and non-exhaustive list of major life activities includes: 1. caring for oneself, 2. hearing, 3. performing manual tasks, 4. seeing, 5. speaking, 6. breathing, 7. learning and 8. reading. The ADAAA provides...

Physical inactivity is a major contributing factor to prevalence of obesity and diabetes along the Texas-Mexico Border. Walking has been identified as a popular activity, but appropriate distances are seldom attained. This investigation was performed to evaluate self-monitored pedometer use, stage of change movement, and psychosocial mediators using walking as the physical activity. Seventy students enrolled in university kinesiology activity classes (age 22.53 ± 4.5, percent M/F 8/92) volunteered to wear pedometers for nine weeks and record weekly step averages. Weekly step averages were compared with an ANOVA and psychometric variables were analyzed with MANOVA. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention survey packets containing scales measuring exercise behavior change, barri...

This final rule announces updated requirements that the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH or Agency), located within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or Department), will employ to test and approve closed-circuit respirators used for escaping atmospheres considered to be immediately dangerous to life and health, including such respirators required by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for use in underground coal mines. NIOSH and MSHA jointly review and approve this type of respirator used for mine emergencies under regulations concerning approval of respiratory protective devices. NIOSH also approves these respirators for use in other work environments where escape equipment ...
