Right after the 9-11 terrorist attack, I think the country made a tremendous effort in enhancing its preparedness for a terrorist attack and other types of potential disasters, like infectious diseases. They worked closely providing money to state and local health departments, and funding research projects. But the fur... |
What are some of the major changes you've seen since 9-11, both locally and nationally? |
After the 9-11 attacks, we saw many positive changes. Money was provided to state and local health departments to hire individuals with expertise in bioterrorism. In almost every major health department, they set up a section to deal with bioterrorism threats. First responders also received funding for equipment and tr... |
Over the years, though, the emphasis has shifted more to pandemic planning and many of the people who were hired to work on bioterrorism were moved over to the area of infectious diseases. There's less emphasis on bioterrorism. But terrorist organizations are still thinking very strongly about using biological agents. ... |
You created the Center for the Study of Bioterrorism (now the Institute for Biosecurity) before 9-11. Did you envision the kind of response to your program that 9-11 would bring? |
We started thinking about the Center in 1999 and it opened in 2000. Our focus was always on bioterroism, because we felt that this was one of the more likely weapons terrorist organizations would use. We created large numbers of fact sheets and other training materials related to bioterrorism. |
What happened then was 9-11, and 9-11 was a more traditional attack in that they used planes basically as bombs to explode the World Trade Centers. But that was followed by the anthrax letters. We were getting thousands of requests to provide our factsheets and information because there was just nothing else out there;... |
Now what we're finding is that every year that goes by, there's less and less requests for those materials. We're becoming very complacent. It's understandable from a psychological standpoint. We don't want to think about these bad things and the further away we get from 9-11 and the anthrax letters, the less we're goi... |
How has the Institute for Biosecurity changed in response to new and growing needs? |
Shortly after 9-11, the Centers for Disease Control created centers for public health preparedness to provide training for public health professionals, which was very similar to the things we were doing. Around this time, I was talking to people around the country at conferences and what people were telling me is that ... |
Because the program is offered online, we've had students come from all parts of the United States and outside the United States. We've had students who were currently serving in the military in Afghanistan and Iraq. We've had students complete the program while working with the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control.... |
Are there other programs like yours? |
There is not another program like ours. Our program is the only program that combines public health preparedness with a strong emphasis on bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases. There are other programs that deal with laboratory investigation of biological agents and there are preparedness programs in schools o... |

Michael Yormark, president of the Florida Panthers, works out to maintain the high level of energy he needs to run the company. His exercise routine is tough. His diet and body fat are unbelievable. See how he does it. |
Why do you keep fit? |
As president of the company, I'm in and out of meetings all day, leading the staff by example, so I got to have high energy, high passion, in early, out late. I have to stay mentally sharp and perform at peak. Working out every day keeps me there. |
My focus is on being as physically fit as I can be. Being in the business I'm in, you have to be mentally sharp every morning. |
My goal is to live a healthy lifestyle with as low body fat as I possibly can have, by working out and eating healthy every day. |
What's your workout routine? |

I train seven days a week, getting to the gym at 3:45 in morning. Training starts 4:15. |
I train with a pro trainer, Manny Mair, who has a private gym in Coral Springs, five days a week, and do cardio twice a week [without him]. |
Monday to Friday my training is 90 minutes: 30 minutes elliptical, 60 of weight training that focuses on my legs, shoulders, arms, midsection. I do a lot of core training. Many of the exercises are out of the box… |
Saturdays I do a full-body workout at a gym in Boca. I do cardio on the elliptical every day but stretch it out on Sundays and Wednesdays. |
Does your family keep fit? |
My wife, Dana, lives a lifestyle similar to mine. She does Pilates five days a week, cardio every day. My daughter, Sophia, is very active. … We monitor her eating habits, make sure she eats as healthy as possible. No fatty food, fried food, fast food. We want to develop healthy eating habits. Childhood obesity is a ma... |
Do you have a personal fitness mantra? |
"Anything is possible." You set goals in the gym, anything is possible if you put your mind to it and you're committed. |
My life mantra is: "Dream big and don't fear to fail." |
What's your diet? |
I start the day at 3:30 with egg whites wrapped in a non-fat, no-carb wrap. When I come in the office, I have a homemade remedy of oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins. Mid-morning I eat an energy bar. Lunch might be sweet potato and salmon or sweet potato salad. Mid-afternoon is a snack combo of cashews with no salt and ... |
Eating healthy balances what you do in the gym. |
I cheat with frozen yogurt on the weekends. My daughter loves it and my wife likes it, so the three of us indulge. |
I haven't had anything to drink except water for three years. |
Are you serious? No drinks but water for three years? |
No energy drinks, no beer. |
Do you take any supplements? |
I take all-natural vitamins, multi-vitamins during days with Manny. I take Juice Plus and Gold Medal amino acids. |
According to the National Institutes of Health, the average American man has body fat of 17 to 19 percent. What's yours? |
Between 7 and 8 percent. |

Tkinter Crash under PythonWin |
Dave Butler davebutlerREMOVE at |
Mon Nov 12 18:38:08 CET 2001 |
I recently began exploring Tkinter programming. I built the following |
program based on similar code in a book: |
from Tkinter import * |
top = Tk() |
quit = Button(top, text='Quit', command=top.quit) |
This simple "app" opens fine and closes when run from a command prompt |
(under Win2000). However, when run from PythonWin (win32all build 140) the |
app does not close and a few clicks later PythonWin crashes with a MS Visual |
C++ runtime error ("abnormal program termination"). |
Any explanations? Is PythonWin a stable platform for using Tkinter? |
