News of Warner Brothers Movie "Contagion"
On September 9, Warner Brothers will be releasing the movie Contagion, a fictional drama that portrays CDC and other U.S. and international partners responding to an emerging infectious disease outbreak. We are reaching out to you in an effort to take advantage of this opportunity to provide accurate and potentially life-saving information to the public about how to prepare for a public health emergency.
When asked to respond to the inevitable question about the plot of the movie, "Could this really happen?" CDC is compelled to say, "Not only could it happen, CDC scientists are working 24/7 to find out if it's happening right now." The following websites are being highlighted to enhance your awareness, particularly during September (National Preparedness Month).
* CDC Preparedness Information http://emergency.cdc.gov/
* Emergency Preparedness for Individuals http://emergency.cdc.gov/preparedness
* Flu Prevention Information http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/preventing.htm
In addition, I hope the following information about CDC's role in emergency preparedness and response is helpful.
* CDC works with state and local health departments across the United States, as well as international partners around the world, to recognize disease patterns and improve the public health community's ability to respond to health threats.
* CDC and its partners play key roles in homeland security by maintaining the ability to detect and respond to outbreaks, as well as natural and man-made disasters, at home and abroad.
* CDC is a key source of evidence for health action — monitoring health, informing clinical and policy decision-making, and providing individuals the information they need to take
responsibility for their own health.
* CDC supports state and local public health partners with training and guidance to ensure nationwide lab capacity for detecting and responding to health threats, as well as the capacity to
address key risk factors leading to premature death, injury, and disease.
* CDC recognizes that state and local public health departments are the first responders when disease threats occur, and it is their initial investigations that help CDC quickly assist them.
With a sense of urgency do we take this opportunity to educate others about how CDC and the public health community work to keep America safe and how they can join in by being prepared themselves. To learn more about Contagion and how CDC protects America 24/7, visit the following sites:
* Contagion Official Website http://contagionmovie.warnerbros.com/index.html— Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the movie stars Kate Winslet, Matt Damon, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Lawrence Fishburne

Issue 1: Terrorism and Violence
The Inaugural edition of the Journal of International Relations Research (JIRR) will be themed around Terrorism and Violence. We invite submissions from authors in a variety of formats including reviews, blogs, polemics and full-length articles. To be published in (traditional) electronic text format AND in a dynamic web version featuring interactive multimedia features that make the most of web 2.0.
The human fascination with violence and terrorism is evident in the wealth of multimedia news reporting as well as academic and popular writing on the subject. But how does this reflect on society and the subject matter at hand? Are contemporary narratives, explanations and analyses providing fruitful or even sufficient representations of the realities? JIRR would venture not and invites the world IR community to contest this assumption.
We welcome submissions focusing on individual and group level explanations for the trend of engagement in terrorism and violence. Be it on an empirical, philosophical or theoretical basis, JIRR ascribes no preferred method; our only stipulation is for quality and originality of the contribution. Examining the dynamics of counter-terrorism bodies should also be considered, as should the media coverage and aspects of public debate, philosophy and response.
Articles that represent comprehensive academic research into terrorism and violence are most welcome, be they in the guise of chapters of forthcoming works that read well as stand-alone pieces or as purposefully structured journal articles contesting issues in the field. Polemics are intended to be shorter essays designed to be countenances to work authored previously or critical and controversial pieces designed to raise questions and shape future debate. We also welcome entertaining reviews of relevant books, film and other media that speaks to IR debates on terrorism and violence.
JIRR is uniquely set up to accommodate a range of multimedia aspects and authors wishing to submit in non-traditional formats are encouraged. This subject would lend itself well to a photo-essay for instance or video report. As an Open Access Online journal we will feature video, pictures, diagrams and other dynamic features that help to illustrate the issues at hand. This distinctive characteristic of JIRR obviously equips the journal well for coverage of Terrorism in its 21st century guise and authors are encouraged to think of novel ways to supplement their written paper with multimedia referencing.
The ultimate issue publication deadline is 1st December, though submissions should be sent in well in advance of this date to ensure publication. Once complete the article/polemic/review will be published online in our dynamic web format, in advance of the publication of the text and download versions.
