Re: UCF regional!

I think this is the proper time for a big UCF Regional team sing-along.... and since Barenaked Ladies are playing in Orlando tommorow, it's only appropriate.

"Who needs sleep? Well your never gonna get it.
Who needs sleep? Tell me, what's that for?
Who needs sleep? Be happy with what you're getting. There's a guy who's been awake since the second world war."

See you guys Thursday.

XBOX LAN party!?

A few of the members of Team 408 Roboticks are having a large xbox LAN party the 2 nights that they are there. (Friday night- Saturday night)

We will be staying at the Days Inn @ 11639 East Colonial Blvd. If you want to join in the lan party, an xbox is needed (of course) and a copy of Halo, although we will be playing some other games. (DOA3, project gotham (yes, we're old school-its pg 1)vice city (although not MP) etc.)

Flyers will be posted in select places around the hotel for more information if you want to get in the LAN party.

Re: UCF regional!

Hey everyone i know alot of people are following this thread and so i would like to bring up something. If you dont know at VCU regional this weekend there was a outbreak of a virus, were alot of people got sick they had the health department come and everything. FIRST made a offical statement to. As i was reading throught the CD thread about it i came to find out that there field, that was used in VCU is coming hear next

hear is the quote from the thread

Quote:


It was Truck #2, which I know was going to Orlando next, then Peachtree, and I can't remember the rest of the route after that. I think anyone else who gets this truck should be ok; besides the disinfecting, the truck is traveling for several days, the virus will not have a host, so it should die off.
The symptons are nasty with vominiting and diaheraa some students and mentors ended up in the hospital.
Even though it was sanitized and hopefully died off, i just ask everyone this weekend to wash there hands and desanitize everythign. When human players get off the field wash your hands. Just be careful cause i knwo i dont want it and i dobut anyone else wants it

Re: UCF regional!

i would like to just point out... that whoever read this thread about the virus... they should let every single of their team member know about this whole situation... i really dont think that any of us want something like that happening @ UCF... when a lot of teams have another regional and championship event to go to...

Exclamation Re: UCF regional!

Well while talking about this with Nathan Pell(1083), we looked at the FIRST statement about the virus and they said it was prob the norovirus and so Nathan found a fact sheet about it and hear it is

facts on Norovirus

February 2004
Norovirus Fact Sheet
What are noroviruse?

Norovirus is a virus that causes the “stomach flu,” or vomiting and diarrhea, in people.

What are the symptoms of illness caused by noroviruses?

Norovirus illness usually begins 24 - 48 hours after exposure, but can appear as early as 10 hours after exposure.
Symptoms usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramping. Sometimes people have a low-grade
fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The illness is usually brief, with symptoms
lasting only 1 or 2 days.

How serious is norovirus disease?

Norovirus disease is usually not serious, but people may feel very sick. Most people get better within 1 or 2 days,
and have no long-term health effects from the illness. Sometimes people are unable to drink enough liquids to
replace what they lose from vomiting and diarrhea, and they can become dehydrated and need to see a doctor. This
problem usually occurs only among the very young, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.

How is norovirus spread?

Noroviruses are very contagious and spread easily from person to person. The virus is found in the stool and vomit
of infected people. People can become infected in several ways, including eating food or drinking liquids that are
contaminated by infected food handlers, touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus and then touching
their mouth before handwashing, or having direct contact with another person who is infected and then touching
their mouth before handwashing. Outbreaks also have occurred from eating undercooked oysters harvested from
contaminated waters - cooking kills the virus. Drinking water contaminated by sewage can also be a source of these
viruses. Persons working in day-care centers or nursing homes should pay special attention to children or residents
who have norovirus illness. This virus can spread quickly in these places.

How long are people contagious?

People infected with norovirus are contagious from the moment they begin feeling ill to at least 3 days after
recovery. Some people may be contagious for as long as 2 weeks after recovery. Therefore, good handwashing is
important. Persons infected with norovirus should not prepare food while they have symptoms and for 3 days after
they recover. Infected people do not become long-term carriers of norovirus.

Who gets norovirus infection?

Anyone can become infected with these viruses. Because there are many different strains of norovirus, norovirus
infection and illness can re-occur throughout a person’s lifetime.

What treatment is available for people with norovirus infection?

Currently, there is no specific medication or vaccine for norovirus. Norovirus infection cannot be treated with
antibiotics. By drinking fluids, such as juice or water, people can reduce their chance of becoming dehydrated.
Sports drinks do not replace the nutrients and minerals lost during this illness.

Do infected people need to be excluded from school, work or daycare?

Since the virus is passed in vomit and stool, children should not go to daycare or school while they have diarrhea or
vomiting. Once illness ends, children can return to daycare, but handwashing must be strictly monitored. Persons
who work in nursing homes, take care of patients, or handle food should stay out of work until at least three days
after symptoms end.

Can norovirus infections be prevented?

You can decrease your chance of coming in contact with noroviruses by:
• Frequent handwashing with warm water and soap
• Promptly disinfecting contaminated surfaces with household chlorine bleach-based cleaners
• Washing soiled clothing and linens
• Avoiding food or water from sources that may be contaminated
• Cooking oysters completely to kill the virus
