Entirely Off Topic? Not by a long shot, especially after 9/11 and the anthrax scare which have adversely affected the economy. It is now vital, more than ever before, for absenteeism from the workplace to be minimized. To be sure, info on how to deal with anthrax can help reduce absenteeism from work. If only more women had known about the double role of yogurt, they would have been more productive in their workplace! Hopefully, increased productivity leads to prosperity and all that it implies.
