This alert is a hoax. If you delete this file you will be deleting a file

NO!!!!!!!
Dont do anything.
Its a hoax.
That file is part of the Windows operating system.
Whenever you get anything like this, check the urban legends site first:
http://urbanlegends.about.com/
Here is the virus hoax sextion of the website:
http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/virushoaxesaz/index.htm
AND Here is the information from the urban ledgends site about this
specific virus hoax.
http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/jdbmgr.html
Synopsis The file jdbmgr.exe is actually a dangerous Microsoft Windows
virus and deleting it will prevent it from spreading.
See the warning here.
Is it true? No, it is a hoax.
Like the SULFBNK.EXE virus scare, this virus warning attempts to trick
the unwary user into deleting a legitimate part of Microsoft Windows
operating system.
While the Urban Legend Zeitgeist waffled on whether the SULFBNK.EXE
virus scare was a deliberate hoax or a just the product of a
misundertanding, we won't be wishy-washy this time: it's a hoax.
The virus scare trades on the presence of the Java Debugging Manager,
jdbmgr.exe, that is a part of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
While jdbmgr.exe can be a target of the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus,
the mere presence of jdbmgr.exe does not mean your computer has been
infected. Unfortunately, it doesn't mean that it hasn't been infected.
Popular anti-virus products offered by Symantec and McAffee are capable
of detecting and removing the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus but they
aren't capable of restoring jdbmgr.exe if you have deleted it.
To recap:
The presence of a file named jdbmgr.exe does not mean your computer is
infected with the W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus.
The W32.Efortune.31384@mm becomes active immediately upon infecting a
computer and does not lie dormant for fourteen days.
Deleting any file named jdbmgr.exe will not remove the
W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus nor will it restore any damage done by the
virus.
The W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus can infect a number of other Microsoft
Windows systems files besides jdbmgr.exe.
Popular antivirus programs such as Norton AntiVirus and McAffee
VirusScan are capable of detecting and removing the
W32.Efortune.31384@mm virus.
Why? The email is debunked here.
When? May 2002
Comments It's that sinister teddy bear icon that gives it all away.
One thing to note, the Urban Legend Zeitgeist does not specialize in
analysis of computer virus warnings. There are a number of sites that
do, please see the links below.

I usually don't get involve with the discussions. However, I enjoy reading
the responses so, I will take a stab at it.
Many of the public health workers are currently credentialed or licensed.
For Example: (Mandatory license to practice)
1) Registered Public Health Nurse
2) Registered Dietitian
Unlike the field of Public Health Education, the credentialing is optional
for a practicing health educator. This may vary from state to state and from
employer to employer. However, it would be ideal to require a mandatory
(national and/or state) license/credential for practicing health educators.
For Example:
1) In every state, a practicing health educator must have CHES credentials.
Answer to the original question:
Yes, public health workers should be credentialed or licensed for
specialized fields.

Hello HEDIR land,
I am a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate

What are your opinions about this?

Greetings hedir land'ers
Thanks to everyone who sent me emails identifying colleges and
universities that offer a masters in school health education. Thought
I'd share the list I compiled with members of the hedir.........Since
I'm a 1991 graduate of the SIU PhD (health education) program, I knew
they offered the masters in school health. However, to be honest, I was
aware of only a hand full of the other colleges and universities on the
list.
I apologize if I left anyone off the list, it was not
intentional...........

Hello,
I have a drug education/prevention presentation (2 hour mandated
by NY State) that I am asked to give every semester to teacher education
candidates (non health ed majors). Here's what I currently do:
1. I start off asking the group to list substances they believe are used
by 8th, 10th, and 12th grades and to estimate what they believe to be
prevalence rates for each substance.
2. I then sample the class and record some of the estimates on the
board/overhead. I then ask for rationale/reason behind the estimates
and foster discussion on whether estimates are too high/low and why.
3. I then present recent (2000 and 2001) data from the Monitoring
the Future Study (many of the estimates are way high-no pun
intended)
4. I then talk/present information about skill building vs. information
on drugs. As a way to experience what I mean, I have the group
participate in goal setting activity...and discuss how goal setting is
related to drug use and the choices kids make.
5. I then present information on protective and risk factors in 6 domains:
individual, family, peer, school, community, and society.
6. I end by sharing the information (on an overhead and in a much
larger font) in the following document:
Guidelines
· Content should emphasize the IMMEDIATE effects and
ADVERSE consequences of drugs rather than their long-term dangers.
· Realistic appraisals of drug use rates among the demographic
profile you are working with. This is known as the social norm approach.
· Hands-on, skill-based approach to drug prevention has demonstrated
the largest and most long-lasting effects.
· Messages and activities should acknowledge the following:
o Drug use is a complex rather than a simple problem.
o Stereotypes do not apply because drug users form a heterogeneous population.
o Social policies governing drug use are inconsistent.
o Society contains great variation in behavior and lifestyle.
o Drug effects are produced by the interaction of many factors.
· Skills to address include:
o Ability to access valid health information and services
o Stress management skills
o Communication skills
o Peer resistance skills
o Decision making skills
o Goal setting skills
o Conflict management skills
o Self-esteem building skills
o Advocating for personal, family, and community health
Is an extensive background in drug pharmacology, legal issues associated
with drugs, and drug effects needed for the teacher to be an effective agent
of substance abuse prevention?
Teachers are doing substance-abuse prevention by:
o Creating an orderly and safe learning environment for children.
o Providing children with an appropriate forum for discussing life issues.
o Teaching social and other skills for coping with peer relations and stress.
o Helping children gain access to community resources outside of the school.
o Devising alternative learning strategies for children with learning
disabilities.
o Correlating relevant drug-related material with the curriculum.
Is there anyone in this room today who feels they cannot do all of the above?
_____________
My problem is this: one of the groups I present to is made up of
mostly elementary education majors. I have received feedback that
they would like to know more about drugs and the age group they
will be working with; warning signs of abuse at home; how to
prevent future drug use...in some ways, I believe I do that. However,
perhaps it needs to be more explicit and directive.
I would appreciate feedback and suggestions.
Thanks,
Michael
