BDPA Los Angeles Chapter invites all parents, students (grades 9-11), and volunteers to participate in their annual High School Computer Training Program. Prior programming knowledge is not required to attend. This program is a subset of the Student Information Technology Education & Scholarship (SITES) program that takes place in all 49 chapters around the country.
During the program, students will learn Computer Science 101, Software and Network fundamentals, Dynamic Web Page Design (PHP), Relational Database Management (SQL, MySQL), Team Collaboration, Team Diversity, Time Management, and how to craft Effective Presentations. Five hard-working students will be invited to an all-expense paid trip to Atlanta GA to compete in the national High School Computer Competition with an opportunity to win thousands of dollars in college scholarship money. Click here, here and here to see a testimonial from students who participated in this event in the past.
The Parent-Student Orientation will take place on Saturday, January 26, 2008 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at the Tom Bradley Youth and Family Center (5213 Pico Blvd; LA 90019). Please contact John Malonson III by phone (310.430-2093) or email (mrmalonson@gmail.com) to RSVP your child or to learn more about the program.

CRS: Computer-Related Syndrome: The Prevention and Treatment of Computer-Related Injuries. By Richard Dean Smith, MD and Steve T. Garske, MS, PT.
The computer workstation must be considered a potentially hazardous place. Computer keyboard workers are akin to armchair athletes subject to the same stresses and injuries experienced by athletes. Our purpose is to alert keyboard workers to early warning signs, explain how to best arrange workstations, provide both preventive and therapeutic exercises, and enable workers to 'train' for computer keyboard work. With drastic cutback of workers compensation insurance benefits, prevention and early intervention is especially important.
