         <description><![CDATA[
	Presidents' Day, celebrated each year on the third Monday in February, is a day when Americans honor the legacies of the U.S. presidents. The holiday was established in 1800, when Congress declared February 22–George Washington's birthday–a federal holiday. Still legally known as Washington's Birthday, Presidents' Day has become a day to honor not only Washington, but Abraham Lincoln, the 16th U.S. president who was born on February 12,&nbsp; and the lives and accomplishments of all U.S....]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	Making healthy food choices is one important thing you can do to reduce your risk of heart disease—the leading cause of death of men and women in the United States.

	According to the American Heart Association, about 80 million adults in the U.S. have at least one form of heart disease—disorders that prevent the heart from functioning normally—including coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems, heart defects, infections, and cardiomyopathy (thickening or enlargement of the heart...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	Through several years of investigating accidents and research in the field of accident reconstruction, leaders in the field of occupational accident prevention have concluded that there are specific reasons why accidents occur. They found that worker safety is dependent on worker behavior and human factors. They developed ten safety rules and, while some of you may have heard them before, they are worth repeating:

	1. STAY ALERT - and stay alive. The more awake a worker is, the less likely...]]></description>

	Dining Out

	People in the U.S. do a lot of eating out, on Valentine's Day and the other 364 days of the year. According to the National Restaurant Association , 49 cents of every dollar spent on food was predicted to be spent at restaurants in 2011. Most diners do have a safe meal. However, more than half—59%—of the 13,405 outbreaks of foodborne illness reported in the U.S. between 1998 and 2008 involved food prepared in a restaurant or deli setting, according to CDC. These nearly 8,000...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	Just as there is a right tool for every job, there is a right extinguisher for every fire. The class of an extinguisher,&nbsp; identified on its nameplate, corresponds to the class or classes of fire the extinguisher controls. On most construction jobs, we are concerned with Class A, B and C fires. Consequently, the best extinguisher to have on a job is a multi-purpose Class ABC extinguisher, which contains a dry, powdered chemical under pressure. The following&nbsp; describes the classes of...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	The formula for defensive driving is see the hazard, understand the defense and act in time. All drivers must apply this formula to prevent accidents in spite of the actions of other drivers or the presence of adverse driving conditions. A defensive driver must be able to accurately predict the outcome of traffic situations in order to apply the defense in time to prevent an accident.

         <description><![CDATA[
	A lot of people think that women do not get heart disease. More women die from heart disease than from anything else. Any woman can get heart disease.

	When you think about heart disease, you probably think about chest pain. Women might not have chest pain. If they do, they might call it an achy, tight or "heavy" feeling instead of pain. The pain might even be in the back between the shoulder blades, instead of the chest.

	Women might think these signs are no big deal because they...]]></description>

	While no standard guidelines covering life expectancy and recommended age for replacement have been offered, some specialists suggest that belt webbing or belt hardware should be replaced immediately if wear or other damage...]]></description>
