Evacuation orders in the Armstrong Woods and Dry Creek areas near Guerneville in Sonoma County have been downgraded to evacuation "warnings," from evacuation "orders," and residents are allowed to return to those areas at their own risk, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department said Sunday night.

One downgraded evacuation zone is north of Mill Creek Road, west of Dry Creek (the actual creek) and Westside Road, south of Chemise Road and east of the burn area. Another is north of Sweetwater Springs Road, west of Westside Road, south of Mill Creek Road and east of the burn area. The third is north of the Russian River to the burn area, west of Westside Road, south of Sweetwater Springs Road and east of Armstrong Woods Road and Sweetwater Springs Road.

Residents living on Sweetwater Springs Road will have to report to the traffic control point at Armstrong Woods Road to make access. Residents will need to show proof of residency to make entry. No one living east of 17990 Sweetwater Spring Road, or north of 16881 Armstrong Woods Road, will be able to make access as of 6 p.m. Sunday.

All other areas under evacuation order were still closed Sunday night, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department said.

Global Health Issues

Global Health Issues        Info: Despite incredible improvements in health since 1950, there are still a number of challenges, which should have been easy to solve. Consider the following....     One billion people lack access to health care systems... 36 million deaths each year are caused by noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung diseases. This is almost two-thirds of the estimated 56 million deaths each year worldwide. (A quarter of these take place before the age of 60.) Cardiovascular diseases (C V Ds) are the number one group of conditions causing death globally. An estimated 17.5 million people died from C V Ds in 2005, representing 30% of all global deaths.

World Education Report

The World Education Information Report’s focus on education as a basic human right is a fitting choice for the International Year for the Culture of Peace. Education is one of the principal means to build the‘defenses of peace’ in the minds of men and women everywhere – the mission assumed by UNESCO when the Organ- ization was created more than half a century ago.

Tips for Health Care and Guide

Professionals. Guidance notes on the Muslim fast during Ramadan The Muslim fast during the month of Ramadan provides  an opportunity for health professionals to promote  health improvement among Muslims by offering lifestyle  advice on topics such as diet and smoking cessation.        It is important to recognize  that the Muslim community,  like any other, is diverse. This results in differences of  perception and practice among Muslim patients. The  start of Ramadan advances 11 days every year as it is  based on a lunar calendar and will sometimes fall in the  summer months, resulting in a more onerous fast than  when it is in the winter months. In 2007 Ramadan starts  in mid-September.      Fasting during Ramadan is intended as a discipline and  requires abstinence from anything taken orally during  the hours of daylight, each consecutive day for a month.  This includes water and smoking. Bleeding will also  preclude the fast for that day. Fasti
