MANILA - The Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday reminded the public, especially mothers and caregivers, on proper hygiene after changing babies' diapers to avoid the spread of EV-71 virus or enterovirus 71, which has killed tens of babies in Cambodia.

Dr. Eric Tayag, DOH assistant secretary and spokesman, said that caregivers who change diapers (pertaining to children's feces) and do not properly wash their hands after could spread the EV-71 virus to children.

"Proper disposal of baby diapers or human waste, strict personal hygiene, and regular hand-washing prevent viral spread. The virus is known to be excreted in the feces since it is found in the human intestine," Tayag said.

Other precautions

Tayag urged parents and day-care personnel to clean and disinfect toys and teaching tools that are easily shared with other children. This can prevent EV-71 infections as there are no known effective drugs or vaccines.

According to Tayag, the DOH and the World Health Organization have clarified that the Cambodian EV-71 infection was of the encephalitis type and not HFMD (hand, foot and mouth disease).

Affected Cambodian children generally had fever followed by rapid respiratory deterioration and impaired conciousness. Death occurred 24 hours from hospital confinement, DOH and WHO said.

Tayag explained that EV-71 causes different diseases of varying intensity. These include the often mild hand, foot and mouth disease, acute respiratory disease, acute flaccid paralysis (polio-like) and the deadly brainstem encephalistis. HFMD is characterized as self-limiting illness and accompanied by skin lesions or rashes.

Takeaway: Editing text is tedious work. Use these two shortcuts to delete whole words instead of single characters.

Many users delete text the hard way-character by character. Fortunately, there are many editing shortcuts, and Id like to share two that transform [Backspace] and [Delete] into deleting machines.

Pressing [Backspace] deletes the characters to the left of the insertion point, one at a time. When you need to delete an entire word, press [Ctrl]+[Backspace]. This shortcut deletes text to the left of the insertion point one word at a time instead of one character at a time. For instance, to delete the last four words in a paragraph, including the ending period character, youd hold down [Ctrl] and press [Backspace] five times. (Word counts a punctuation mark as a word.)

Pressing [Delete] removes the characters to the right of the insertion point, one character at a time. To delete several characters to the right, at once, press [Ctrl]+[Delete]. This combo deletes all the characters to the right of the insertion point in the current word. For instance, to remove cut in the word shortcut, youd position the insertion point between the t and the c, and press [Ctrl]+[Delete].

What deleting shortcuts do you use?

"Drop the i-word" is a campaign to stop using the word "illegal" in the immigration discussion.

By Miranda Leitsinger, msnbc.com

Whenever I write stories about illegal immigrants, I receive complaints that I should drop the i word (which is also the name of a campaign to end the use of the term illegal when referring to illegal immigrants).

In the interest of bringing this debate into the open, we solicited a few short opinion pieces from leading voices on immigration issues. We also asked the co-editor of the AP Stylebook, a key arbiter of word usage for journalists, to share his thoughts.

And we hope you weigh in in the comment section, too. Whats your take on the phrase illegal immigrant?

Word gamesBy Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington think tank that supports tighter immigration controls:
