Active Living Research Seeks Conference Abstracts
Active Living Research (ALR), a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, has announced a call for presentation and workshop abstracts for its 11th Annual Conference on March 9-12, 2014, in San Diego, CA. The theme of the 2014 conference, "Niche to Norm," recognizes the importance of advancing active living from an emerging research field with limited results and impact to well-accepted findings that regularly guide decision-making across sectors to create more active communities.
Call for Abstracts - Research & Practice Tracks
The aim of the ALR conference is to be the premier venue for both cutting-edge research and for making findings accessible to and useable by non-scientists. Thus, the 2014 conference agenda will include both research and practice/policy presentations.
Abstracts related to all populations and active living environments and policies in all settings are welcome. Submissions related to the conference theme and research and practice/policies that inform strategies for increasing physical activity among racially and ethnically diverse populations of youth and those living in lower-income communities who are at greatest risk for obesity are particularly encouraged.
Call for Workshops
ALR seeks high quality workshops for researchers (e.g. methods, statistics) and practitioners (e.g., use of measures or tools, dissemination, translation or scalability of findings to inform policy and practice). These sessions must be interactive and have clear learning objectives. Workshops can be proposed for either 1.5 or 3-hour formats.
Read the full Call for Presentation and Workshop Abstracts: http://activelivingresearch.org/cfa2014
The submission deadline for presentation abstracts and workshops is September 4, 2013, 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Notifications will be sent out in late October.

Most systems allow you to select 'only respond once to each sender', which should prevent the problem.
With our old system, I once had half a million emails (truly!) in my inbox as my out of office responded to someone else's ad infinitum.

MY office's IT staff blocked emails from the sender after I had tried everything else.

Subject: [H+T--Friends] Out of Office Meltdown
I am the list administrator so let me first apologize for the meltdown yesterday. Apparently Rajiv's "out of office" automatic response was not recognizing that it was causing a massive loop. I was surprised to see it happen since most email systems now have protections so infinite loops do not happen. Technically it was either a poorly configured mailer or a purposeful out-of-office configuration that responds to every email forgetting that we get email from entities other than just people.
So how do we prevent it from happening again? First, on your end make sure to check the setting in you out of office responders. They are all different but there is usually a place where you can put exceptions in for who gets a response. I am sure no one on this list cares when you are out of the office.
On my end when I see people whose out of office response hits the list I go and put them under moderation. What that means is when they post it gets delayed since I have to review it. This is a manual process and sometimes hours can go buy before I check my email and review moderated posts. I am also working to get one or two more administrators.
What I did yesterday, once I realized the melt down was happening was to shut down the list from all traffic. I needed to let everything settle down. I am not sure exactly when it all started but it was going on for about an hour or more before I realized it. I was working offline and not monitoring email.
Again, I apologize and I feel bad that several people unsubscribed as a result. Hopefully they will find their back. Finally, if you use out of office responders take a look at all the configuration settings. If anyone knows more about configuration settings and wants to share what people can do I am sure folks on this list would be happy to hear.
Remember if I see your out of office response get posted you will go under moderation.

Once the mess got up past 50 messages yesterday I called the two people listed on Rajiv's outgoing message (since I'm fairly local) and forwarded to them what the message said. I got the response that the San Francisco HR department was refusing to block the buildup and transmittal of outgoing messages.
So I hope that Rajiv is okay. He's been a thoughtful and articulate professional, and has been a staunch provider of useful health-related input during our recent Bay Area RTP process.

Here are some links to set OOF exceptions. Given that Outlook is the
predominant mail system I am confining my response to Outlook.

I am the list administrator so let me first apologize for the meltdown
yesterday. Apparently Rajiv's "out of office" automatic response was
not recognizing that it was causing a massive loop. I was surprised to
see it happen since most email systems now have protections so infinite
loops do not happen. Technically it was either a poorly configured
mailer or a purposeful out-of-office configuration that responds to
every email forgetting that we get email from entities other than just
people.
So how do we prevent it from happening again? First, on your end make
sure to check the setting in you out of office responders. They are all
different but there is usually a place where you can put exceptions in
for who gets a response. I am sure no one on this list cares when you
are out of the office.
On my end when I see people whose out of office response hits the list I
go and put them under moderation. What that means is when they post it
gets delayed since I have to review it. This is a manual process and
sometimes hours can go buy before I check my email and review moderated
posts. I am also working to get one or two more administrators.
What I did yesterday, once I realized the melt down was happening was to
shut down the list from all traffic. I needed to let everything settle
down. I am not sure exactly when it all started but it was going on for
about an hour or more before I realized it. I was working offline and
not monitoring email.
Again, I apologize and I feel bad that several people unsubscribed as a
result. Hopefully they will find their back. Finally, if you use out
of office responders take a look at all the configuration settings. If
anyone knows more about configuration settings and wants to share what
