West Ham United skipper Kevin Nolan netted his 100th career goal against Wigan on Saturday, to help his side record an important 2-0 victory over the Latics.
West Ham know that the victory has made them all but safe from the relegation battle, as they breached the 'magic 40 points' mark.
Sam Allardyce's men moved back into the top half of the Barclays Premier League with the result, and his captain Nolan spoke about his twin delight of recording the win and reaching his own personal milestone.
"I'm absolutely delighted," he beamed. "To get to 42 points and to reach 100 goals too was nice."
"100 goals from anyone is a good turnout from anyone's career so I'm really delighted to get there. Hopefully I'm not finished yet, I'm looking for 101 now and that's the main thing." He told the West Ham Official Website.
Goals from both Nolan and Matt Jarvis delighted boss Allardyce, who feels his team are now safe from the drop and can look to cement their place in the top ten during the final four games of the season.
"We can enjoy it but you have to remember we still have games in the Premier League to play. We're five unbeaten and we want to carry that on until the end of the season."
"When we looked at each other as a squad in the pre-season, we thought we would be very worthy of being in and around that top ten."
Manchester City are next up for the Hammers, and the Premier League champions will be looking to end West Ham's five game unbeaten streak with victory at the Etihad Stadium.

Argos beat Eskimos 42-26, advance to CFL East final
Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray throws the ball against the Edmonton Eskimos during first half CFL Eastern Conference semi final football action in Toronto on Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012. (Nathan Denette/ THE CANADIAN PRESS)
The Canadian Press
Published Sunday, November 11, 2012 4:40PM EST
TORONTO -- Ricky Ray threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in a record-setting second quarter to lead the Toronto Argonauts past the Edmonton Eskimos 42-26 in the CFL East Division semifinal Sunday.
Chad Owens also had a 59-yard punt return TD to highlight a 31-point Toronto outburst, the most in any quarter by one team in CFL playoff history. Owens, a finalist for the league's outstanding player award, brought the Rogers Centre gathering of 25,792 to its feet with the roof closed due to the installation of camera rigging for the Grey Cup game.
The win was Ray's first in three meetings this season against his former team. The Eskimos stunned the CFL last December by dealing Ray, a two-time Grey Cup champion, to Toronto for journeyman quarterback Steven Jyles, Canadian kicker Grant Shaw and a 2012 first-round pick.
Ray finished 23-of-30 passing for 239 yards and received a nice round of applause when he left the game with just over a minute remaining.
Adding insult to injury, Edmonton played without linebacker J.C. Sherritt. A finalist for the CFL's top defensive player award after registering a league-record 130 tackles, Sherritt watched wearing a walking boot on his right foot.
The lopsided loss capped a season to forget for Edmonton, which entered the playoffs having lost three straight and eight of its last 10 regular-season games for a 7-11 record overall. And last weekend the club fired general manager Eric Tillman, who had been under tremendous fire in Alberta for trading Ray.
Kerry Joseph, appearing in his first playoff game since leading Saskatchewan to victory in the 2007 Grey Cup game in Toronto, got the start for Edmonton but struggled. He was replaced by youngster Matt Nichols to start the second half.
However, Joseph returned late in the third. Nichols guided Edmonton to a field goal on its first possession of the half but was carted off with a nasty left leg injury on the second, finishing 3-of-9 passing for 50 yards.
Joseph had a 16-yard TD run before finding Fred Stamps on the two-point convert at 11:08 of the fourth. He then hit Nate Coehoorn with a 39-yard touchdown pass and two-point convert to Cary Koch at 14:37. Joseph finished unofficially 12-of-25 passing for 192 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
Toronto travels to Olympic Stadium in Montreal for the East final next Sunday, with the winner advancing to the Grey Cup on Nov. 25 at Rogers Centre. The Alouettes won the season series 2-1 but the Argos' lone victory was a 23-20 decision at Molson Stadium on July 27.
Chad Kackert, with two, and Maurice Mann scored Toronto's other touchdowns. Swayze Waters added five converts, two field goals and a single.
Koch had Edmonton's other touchdown. Shaw added the convert and a field goal.
Owens' electrifying TD helped stake Toronto to a commanding 31-7 half-time lead. He took Shaw's 39-yard boot back at 3:38 of the second to break a 7-7 tie after Edmonton dominated the first quarter by outrushing Toronto 99-0. It was Owens' first punt return score since Oct. 10, 2011.
It came after Ray hit Kackert with an 11-yard TD pass at 2:00 after Toronto coach Scott Milanovich successfully challenged an end-zone interception by Edmonton's Joe Burnett, which was overturned. That allowed the Argos to maintain possession after initially getting the ball when Ronald Flemons recovered former Argo Cory Boyd's fumble at the Eskimos' 27-yard line.
A key defensive play also set up Ray's 11-yard TD strike to Mann at 9:06, coming after Marcus Ball intercepted Joseph's attempted shovel pass to Hugh Charles and returned it 53 yards to the Edmonton 29-yard line.
Toronto completed its onslaught with Ray's seven-yard TD run at 14:59.
Joseph's 11-yard TD pass to Koch at 9:06 of the first opened the scoring to cap a smart nine-play, 91-yard drive. Charles' 46-yard run was a key play on the march, which marked the first time this season Edmonton had scored a TD on its opening possession.

Over the past few days, Microsoft has been talking about improvements made to Windows 8 on its 'Building Windows 8' blog at MSDN. Strangely enough, the improvements mentioned were either dealing with the classic desktop, or were demonstrated using the classic desktop - and not the fancy Metro user interface which is supposed to be Windows 8's big new thing. Today's post finally gives a little more detail about how the classic and Metro UI work together, but questions still remain.

Being a zookeeper is a job not without risks, but you have to imagine that the zookeeper at the Kolmården zoo in Sweden who walked into the wolf enclosure on Sunday morning did not expect that she'd end up dead. She apparently entered the enclosure around 11am, and witnesses say the wolves quickly surrounded her and began mauling her. That is the stuff of actual nightmares. Tragically, even though emergency personnel arrived quickly, they couldn't get in there in time to save her. As Jan Tengeborg, the local emergency services coordinator, helpfully explained, "You can't just go in to a pack of wolves. Police and ambulance staff couldn't get close to the victim until later." Other than the fact that they are wolves, there are several possible reasons for their decision to attack her. According to Olof Liberg, a wolf expert at a university in Sweden, the ferocious animals can be set off by "a breach in routine," and he said that wolves can be especially dangerous when a zookeeper is in with them alone.

News & Events
For the Media
Clarkson University Students Teach Classmates About Safety
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/hill-emlaw.jpg ]
Two students took over as teachers this year in first-year student orientation at Clarkson University by leading an event that taught the newest Golden Knights about sexual assault.
Clarkson sophomores Sarah Hill and Sarah Emlaw, who spent last semester working on a presentation under Assistant Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences Jennifer Ball, showed their own video and lead a discussion that focused on sexual assault education.
As part of a course they took last semester with Ball and Daniel E. Dullea, titled "Documenting Social Activism," the duo decided to make "One in Four," a video about sexual assault. After the completion of the video, they realized they could reach more people and present to groups about the topics covered in their video.
But the two admit they had plans to make the video before the class required it.
"We grew up together in a small town (Chestertown, N.Y.) and realized that after high school, we'd all be out in places we we're familiar with," said Emlaw. "We knew that learning about sexual assault would be important for ourselves and others.
"We had seen news stories about sexual assault from across the country in small towns like ours and like Potsdam. We saw it close to home. It was scary thinking that these types of issues are everywhere."
After the course and project were finished, Ball suggested that the students join the first-year orientation board, with hopes that they could present during the three-day event.
Hill and Emlaw joined in as part of a larger session on sexual assault, including survivor story-telling and small group discussions, which they helped organize.
"The program raises awareness about the issues of sexual assault in our community and the tremendous resources offered through Clarkson and the wider community to help raise awareness and aid survivors," said Ball.
The group plans on bringing their video on the road to local communities in the near future.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

The interview was conducted by Lord Chalfont, a former Tjmes correspondent and Minister of State at the Foreign Office in Prime Minister Harold Wilson's first ad¬ ministration. Asked if he was ready to recognize Israel's right to exist, Sadat replied: "I have accepted Resolution 242, which in¬ cludes a recognition of the existence of the State of Israel, and this answers your question. I was ready for peace two years ago, and I am ready now. There is only one point on which I must insist. The Palestinians should attend the Geneva' conference and have their say there. This is my only condition." Asked about terrorism, the Egyptian President replied: "I am against terrorism and violence. But put yourself in the place of the Palestinians. Let us put the real problem on the table and solve it. There are a million Arab refugees living in tents, what do you expect from them in their situation?" At that point Sadat revealed that because he objected to violence he personally in- tervenced to prevent the Queen Elizabeth 2 from being torpedoed , by terrorists last year. The steamship was carrying 590 American Jews to Israel to. celebrate the 25th an¬ niversary of the Jewish State. "I personally," he said, "countermanded an order given by an Arab Pinhas Sapir, Jewish Agency Chairman Will Visit Columbus The newly elected Chairman of the Jewish Agency and Israel's former Minister of Finance, PINHAS SAPIR will visit Columbus, Ohio on Sunday July 28th to address a leadership meeting of the COLUMBUS x JEWISH- FEDERATION. He will be visiting key communities across the United States during the month of July. At a special meeting called for 10:30 A.M. at the Melton Building at 1175 College Avenue, Mr. Sapir will examine the current Jewish needs and the humanitarian goals the American Jewish community must set for itself for 1975 on behalf jof the people of Israel. "It is planned that this meeting will provide a direct dialogue between the people of Israel and Columbus Jewish leadership," ex¬ plained Millard Cummins, 1975 Campaign Chairman, "in order to foster a com¬ plete understanding of the extraordinary dimension of' leader. I stayed up until 3:30 a.m. when I was'sure that the captain of our sub¬ marine, who had the order to torpedo the QE2, had received my order, and the Egyptian submarine was on its way back to Alexandria." Sadat did not name the Arab leader, and Lord Chalfont stated here that Sadat had not told him the name of the Arab, leader even privately, but most people assumed it was President Muammar Qaddafi of Libya! Sadat (CONTINUED ON'paqE S) * WASHINGTON (JTA) — Discussion here of Henry A. Kissinger's future is not whether he will resign as Secretary of State but when and why he will step out of the position he assumed only last Sept. Resignation "within weeks," some of the country's principal con¬ servative voices are now saying. He will leave ' the Cabinet, they say, to help former New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, his prime political sponsor and friend, groom for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1976. Liberal commentators agree Kissinger may leave but for different reasons. The Secretary, they say, has incurred. President Nixon's displeasure for being identified daily in the media as. a diplomatic magician and as America's number one hero, for moving world diplomacy at his pace. The implication is that the President simmering in domestic problems, is a "yes man" to his subordinate on foreign policy which the President cherishes as his domain of eminence in the historical record. A French source said the President could not and would not allow Kissinger to continue in his Cabinet after hearing the Secretary lay the blame on the military of both superpowers for the failure to reach agreement on nuclear weapons at the recent Moscow summit conference. The French analyst compared Kissinger's remark with that of ' Jacques Servan - Schreiber, Minister of Reforms in the new Cabinet of President Valery Giscard d'Estaing. The popular minister was critical of the French government for Pinhas Sapir human needs facing Israel's people during this post - war period. "The basis is not so much a case of Jewish survival in Israel, but a case of the quality of that survival. At this meeting he will clarify the American Jewish community's role in assuring effective support of vital social welfare and immigrant programs in Israel. We urge," stated Mr. Cummins, "the attendance (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) NEW YORK (WNS) — The B'nai B'rith's Anti Defamation League has charged that Jews have become victims of ethnic discrimination in college admissions and Wrings nationally and in appointments as high school principals in New York City. The charges were made in two reports. One pointed to a "re - emergence of racial and ethnic discrimination" in colleges and universities because of federal "failure" to take action "against preferential treatment and quota systems. "The other report charged that in six New York City school districts no Jewish principals were named between Oct. 1969 and Oct. 1972 although 38 non -Jews were appointed. WASHINGTON (WNS) — Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Commerce Secretary Frederick Dent have been discussing whether American businessmen should be allowed to participate in a Moscow exhibition of police equipment. This was revealed by Dent who said a decision will be' made soon on whether U.S. firms should be allowed to sell the Soviets such items as personal surveillance, observation and information - gathering devices. Sen. Henry M. Jackson has declared that he is outraged by the prospects of U.S. participation in the exhibit and said his Senate sub¬ committee on investigation will look into the matter. The Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry has charged that U.S. participation would be a "completely im¬ moral act which only furthers the ability of the KGB to wipe out any voice of dissent." NEW YORK (WNS) - Dr. Joseph P. Sternstein, the new president of the Zionist Organization of America, has announced he plans to conduct an extensive educational program to restore the "Zionist Com¬ mitment" to American Jews. Dr. Sternstein, rabbi of Conservative Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn Heights, L.I., told a press conference the first step in his program would be a series of seminars to expose young adult Jews and their families to Zionism. The ZOA leader noted that while he does not believe "if you don't go on aliya, you are not a Zionist," the recent decline in aliya indicates an overall decline in American Zionist consciousness. exploding an atomic bomb in the Pacific. He was fired immediately by d'Estaing, the French analyst said, "because no head of state can countemance a subor¬ dinate telling the public that his leader does not control his own government. Can Nixon be any different?" In blaming the military for failure on SALT at the summit, Kissinger pointed a finger at Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger, his Harvard classmate who has also risen phenomenally to •the top of the government's appointive hierarchy. Schlesinger's thinking on Soviet - American relationship in matters-of defense and armaments is (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) Emigrants Seek Help For Relatives Still In Russia By Tova Kamins NEW. YORK .(JTA) —, "I am speaking in the name of all the (Soviet Jewish) prisoners. The people are in desperate straits. They have waited 5, 7, 10,. years for their beloved ones... We demand the intervention of international organizations on the conditions of the prisoners." These were the words of Chaim Drori, an Israeli citizen who-recently emigrated from the Soviet Union and whose brother - in - law, Yosef Mendelevich, is a prisoner in a Soviet labor camp. Mendelevich was sentenced to 12 years in a labor camp in the first Leningrad trial in Dec. 1970. Drori, along with Mrs. Eva Butman and Julia Dymshitz came to the United States last week to seek help not Only for their imprisoned relatives but all Soviet Jews. Drori and Mrs. Butman held a press conference July 18 with New York State Commissioner of Human Rights Jack Sable at his offices in Manhattan. Julia Dymshitz, who did not at¬ tend the press conference, was in California talking with officials and Jewish groups there. For the past 10 days, the three have been meeting with Senators, Congressmen and other government of¬ ficials as well as some United Nations officials to do what they can to convince the U.S. government that action must be taken to intervene on the part of Jews in Soviet prison camps. Those prisoners are living a subhuman existence on food that is not fit for human consumption and in con¬ ditions akin to those of Nazi concentration camps, they (CONTINUED ON PACE 5) Frank Nutis Bond Leaders Meet In Israel Frank Nutis, Columbus leader in the Israel Bond Organization will be among fifty-five American and Canadian Jewish leaders who will leave for Israel on Saturday evening, Aug. 3 for three days of top level Conferences with Govern¬ ment leaders on the critical financial and economic problems now confronting the country.

Suicides Surged in Europe, North America during Recession: New research suggests that the economic recession could be linked with more than 10,000 suicides across North America and Europe. A study found that between 2008 and 2010, rates of suicide surged in the European Union, Canada and the United States. The increase was four times higher among men than women, according to the report published in the British Journal of Psychiatry. In conducting the study, researchers from the University of Oxford and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine examined information on suicides from the World Health Organization. The data included 24 countries in the European Union as well as Canada and the United States. The investigators found a reversal in the decline in suicides in the European Union that coincided with the beginning of the economic crisis in 2007. By 2009, suicides had increased by 6.5 percent. Meanwhile, suicides in Canada rose by 4.5 percent between 2007 and 2010. In the United States there was a 4.8 percent increase during this time period, the study found. According to the study authors, these figures are "conservative" estimates. They said that the actual number of suicides since the recession hit are likely much greater than expected. (HealthDay News, 6/12/14)
Colorado Bans Putting People with Mental Illness in Solitary Confinement: Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed legislation ensuring that inmates with serious mental illness will no longer be kept in solitary confinement. The law, which makes an exception for "exigent circumstances," is part of a trend of state and federal authorities rethinking the use of solitary confinement, as they weigh prison safety against the potential psychiatric impact of extreme isolation. Maine and New Mexico have taken steps to reduce their use of solitary confinement, and Nevada and Texas are studying the issue. The federal Bureau of Prisons has enlisted consultants to study its use of segregated detention. The report is expected by the end of the year. (The Wall Street Journal, 6/6/14)
More U.S. Service Members Receiving Treatment for Mental Health Conditions: About 3.5 percent of U.S. military personnel were in treatment for mental health conditions in 2012—up from just 1 percent in 2000, a new military study finds. Experts say the rise likely due to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the military's efforts to get more soldiers into treatment. Past studies have suggested that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and other mental health conditions are much more common in the military than the treatment rates would imply. One found that psychiatric diagnoses among active-duty troops rose from just over 5 percent in 2003, to 9 percent in 2011. The findings, reported in a recent issue of the Medical Surveillance Monthly Report, are based on medical records from active-duty U.S. service members for the years 2000 to 2012. The study found that at any given point in 2012, about one in 29 troops were in treatment for a mental health disorder—which was 2.5 times the rate in 2000. (HealthDay News, 6/13/14)
Union Seeks Federal Investigation of Kaiser Mental Health Services: The National Union of Healthcare Workers has asked the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation into what it says are care delays and falsification of records by Kaiser Permanente affecting thousands of mental health patients. In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, the union accuses the health system (with which it had been negotiating) of wrongdoings that "mirror" the recently-uncovered practices at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinics—like concealing long wait times and awarding bonuses that incentivized managers to keep staffing low. Kaiser Permanente released a statement dismissing the letter as a union ploy aimed at discrediting the HMO in the midst of "protracted" labor negotiations. Kaiser said the union was trying to capitalize on the national scandal surrounding the VA. The union alleges that chronic under-staffing at Kaiser mental health programs has resulted in long wait times for people seeking individual therapy, and that it manipulated its records to conceal these wait periods from state inspectors.

Expanded Coverage for Young Adults under ACA Increased Inpatient Hospital Visits for Mental Health: Expanded coverage for young adults under the Affordable Care Act substantially raised inpatient hospital visits related to mental health, a new study finds. Researchers caution that the finding might not be good news. Greater hospital use by the newly insured might be caused by inadequate outpatient resources to treat mental health patients earlier and less expensively. The study, based on a big national sample from community hospitals, found the law also increased young people's hospital use. Total inpatient visits for those aged 19 to 25 increased 3.5 percent compared with people aged 27 to 29, who couldn't be on their parents' plans. Mental health admissions increased much more—by 9 percent. A large portion of psychiatric admissions came through emergency departments. The study did not look at the volume of outpatient mental health care. But even if they had, they wouldn't have produced a final answer on the effectiveness of expanded coverage.

PTSD, Depressive Episode Increases Risk for Preterm Birth: Women with both Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and major depressive episode were four times more likely to have a preterm birth, according to a new study. Among 2654 women in the study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, researchers found little increased risk of premature birth (before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy) in women suffering from depression alone. Initially PTSD appeared to be a potent risk factor, but they found risk was only elevated for those individuals who had both PTSD and depression. All analyses controlled for use of harmful substances and for antidepressants. Previous studies had found an increased risk of late term premature birth—after 34 weeks but prior to 37 weeks gestation—in women taking antidepressants. (MedPage Today, 6/12/14)

Thumb sucking can be a difficult habit for a child to break. Understand what you can do to help your child stop sucking his or her thumb.
Thumb sucking is a common habit among children. At some point, though, you might think, "Enough is enough." Here's help encouraging your child to stop the behavior.
Babies have natural rooting and sucking reflexes, which can cause them to put their thumbs or fingers into their mouths — sometimes even before birth. Because thumb sucking makes babies feel secure, some might eventually develop a habit of thumb sucking when they're in need of soothing or going to sleep.
Many children stop sucking their thumbs on their own sometime during the toddler years — between ages 2 and 4. For older kids who continue to suck their thumbs, peer pressure at school usually ends the habit.
Remember, though, even a child who's stopped sucking his or her thumb might revert to the behavior when he or she is stressed or anxious.
Thumb sucking isn't usually a concern until a child's permanent teeth come in. At this point, thumb sucking might begin to affect the roof of the mouth (palate) or how the teeth line up. This is more likely to occur if a child sucks vigorously, as opposed to passively resting the thumb in his or her mouth. However, aggressive thumb sucking can cause problems in baby teeth.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says treatment is usually limited to children who continue thumb sucking after turning 5.
Talk to your child about his or her thumb sucking. You are more likely to be successful in stopping the habit if your child wants to stop and helps choose the method involved.
In some cases, paying no attention to thumb sucking is enough to stop the behavior — especially if your child uses thumb sucking as a way to get attention. If ignoring it isn't effective, try one of these techniques:
If you're concerned about the effect of thumb sucking on your child's teeth, check with the dentist. For some kids, a chat with the dentist about why it's important to stop thumb sucking is more effective than a talk with mom or dad.
In other cases, the dentist might recommend a special mouth guard or other dental appliance that interferes with sucking.
Rarely, some doctors recommend using unpleasant techniques, such as covering your child's thumbnail with vinegar or another bitter substance or bandaging the thumb.
For some children, thumb sucking is an incredibly difficult habit to break. Remember, though, peer pressure typically leads kids to stop daytime sucking habits on their own when they start school.
In the meantime, try not to worry. Putting too much pressure on your child to stop thumb sucking might only delay the process.

Happy 250th Birthday to the Sandwich
The thought of a 250-year-old sandwich is enough to turn your stomach. But, worse than that is the thought of having no sandwiches at all. That's why we should all join the town of Sandwich in celebrating the 250th anniversary of the invention of the sandwich.

Latest update : 2012-12-19
Nagorno-Karabakh, the time bomb on Europe's doorstep
The enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh is a powder keg at the centre of a decades-old dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Its people are mostly Armenian, but under the Soviet Union it was ruled by Azerbaijan. In 1991, Nagorno-Karabakh declared itself independent. A three-year war followed, killing around 30,000 people. A fragile truce still holds, but Armenian forces occupy large swathes of Azeri land, and oil-rich Azerbaijan says it will take back the territories by force if there's no peace deal.
Armenians and Azeris inhabit two different worlds. The Karabakh Armenians do not see themselves as occupiers, but as keepers of their ancestral lands. They will tell you that they were effectively occupied by Azerbaijan for 70 years. Azeris will tell you that they did no harm to the Armenians in those 70 years, and that it was the Armenians who sparked the conflict. War trauma and national pride prevent the two nations from communicating directly with each other. Occasionally their presidents or foreign ministers will sit around a table with a Russian or Western mediator. The smiles are wooden; the suits seemingly made of concrete.
The worry, of course, is that Azerbaijan's oil-infused defence upgrade will make for a much more devastating second Karabakh war. Russia, Turkey and Iran could be sucked in. But over coffee at one of the smarter hotels in the Karabakh "capital" Stepanakert, a presidential aide offered France 24 a surprising perspective. Despite Azerbaijan's public threats to retake its lands by force, Baku privately prefers the status quo, he said. Azerbaijan has pledged to give Karabakh a "very high degree of autonomy" if and when it regains control. That, the aide told us, could open a pandora's box of claims by other minorities inside Azerbaijan, such as Lezgins, Talysh and Kurds. Eventually, the aide suggested, the integrity of the Azerbaijani state could be seriously compromised – and over a larger geographical area than just Karabakh.
If he's right, perhaps we shouldn't expect a second Karabakh war after all.

If "history prefers legends to men," as "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" claims, wouldn't history books have been delighted to include the legend of the time a vampire picked up a horse and threw it at one of the country's most renowned leaders?
Adapted by writer Seth Grahame-Smith from his novel, "Vampire Hunter" is, of course, historical fiction, which to some means "clever twist on reality" and to me generally means "cheap excuse to exploit people too dead to complain." The movie (from "Wanted" director Timur Bekmambetov) doesn't even get completely, deliriously bizarre, so at least the story would seem to recognize its own absurdity and go for fun with both feet off the ground. No, this plays out mostly as straight-faced alternate history, as if Abraham Lincoln still walked and talked and behaved generally as we've always heard—just that when he was taking down the South, he was battling both Confederates and vampires.
Benjamin Walker, who looks more like Liam Neeson than Lincoln (and played a younger version of Neeson's title character in "Kinsey"), stars as the Great Emancipator, who also was apparently great at driving an axe into the skull of the undead. Abe's vampire-hunting mentor Henry (Dominic Cooper) insists Lincoln not develop any friends or family in 1837 Springfield, but that doesn't deter the tall action-hero-in-training from taking a shine to Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who's currently tied to future Lincoln debate opponent Stephen Douglas (Alan Tudyk). Douglas actually did court Todd, as it turns out, so put one mark on the board for something real that "Vampire Hunter" taught me about Lincoln's life.
Something the movie glosses over, among other things, is how the man successfully ran for president in the midst of a crusade against vampires. Who is the audience for this voiceover-heavy, 3-D garbage? Both history buffs and vampire hounds will be bored stiff.
It might all be harmless nonsense if not for the film's ignorant notion that all men are slave to something. There's a big difference between a figurative slave and a literal one. For example, Lincoln's convictions and lust for vengeance, to which he's supposedly a slave, won't physically abuse him.
Grahame-Smith can write "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" or "Romeo and Juliet and Frankenstein" or whatever lazy stories he wants to mash together because he has two ingredients and no original recipes. Once you start dealing with real people and major world events, you're not encouraging education, just pointlessly and offensively obscuring truth. Where does it end? "Franklin D. Roosevelt: Phone Sex Operator?" "Rosa Parks: Breakdance Champion?" It's much more fun to come up with these idiotic concepts than to actually watch them.

Veterans applaud Ayotte, Shaheen for health care billBy John Koziol
Union Leader Correspondent
June 14. 2014 7:16PM
BARTLETT - Veterans across New Hampshire are applauding a bipartisan bill in the U.S. Senate that would allow them to receive health care closer to home.
In the wake of reports that the Department of Veterans Affairs had secret "waiting lists" of people seeking care, most notably at the VA facility in Phoenix, both the House of Representatives and the Senate have passed bills to reform the VA and provide services to vets that had been delayed or denied.
The Senate's measure contains a provision that was introduced by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., that would let veterans get care from a non-VA provider if they reside in a state without a full-service medical facility, like New Hampshire, and live more than 20 miles from the nearest full-service VA hospital.
Because the VA's Manchester center is not a full-service hospital, some veterans who need more extensive care have to travel to either Roxbury, Mass., or White River Junction, Vt.
On Friday afternoon, Ayotte addressed the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of New Hampshire, which this weekend is holding its annual convention at the Attitash Grand Summit hotel, and she spoke about the effort in Congress to improve things at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Mark McCabe, a Pelham resident who is the incoming commander of the VFW New Hampshire Department, said what Ayotte and Shaheen have proposed was "fabulous."
"Now you can get care at your doorstep," said McCabe, who today will be sworn in as commander to succeed Jim Golden.
McCabe noted that New Hampshire veterans get good care already and that spending per-veteran here was among the lowest in the country.
Bill Ryan, a Lyndeborough resident who is the quartermaster of VFW Post 8641 in Merrimack, said he regularly has to travel more than 20 miles to get medical care in Manchester. He added that some veterans he knows are deterred by even that relatively short ride.
Ryan commended Ayotte and Shaheen for helping New Hampshire veterans.
"In my humble opinion," said Ryan, "for 90 percent of the people in that room (at Attitash), it's going to be a good thing."
Ayotte later said another important provision of the bill is that it would hold people "accountable" for what she described as possible illegal behavior by some VA officials.
"I share with you the shame and outrage" that has erupted since investigation found that some VA administrators - but none operating facilities that serve N.H. veterans - had falsified waiting lists, said Ayotte.
She said another important element in the Senate bill would allow the firing or demotion of administrators found to have engaged in wrongdoing, and it would also "make sure it never happens again."

In the wake of embarrassing leaks by Edward Snowden about the National Security Agency's domestic and international intelligence gathering, the agency is trying to figure out how it lost control of this information and how to prevent it from happening again.
As to how it happened, NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander has a pretty good idea, at least at a high level: Too many people with access.
Alexander told the House Select Permanent Intelligence Committee on June 18 that NSA now has at least 1,000 systems administrators, a growing number of them contractors, like Snowden. Administrators are defined by their privileges on IT systems, their ability to access, define and change just about anything they want. One thousand is a lot of administrators to keep track of. Many people, Alexander included, think it is too many by at least one.
"Clearly the system did not work as it should have," the general said in a June 23 appearance on ABC News' This Week. "He betrayed the trust and confidence we had in him."
The problem of administrative creep is not a new one, nor is it unique to the NSA or government.
"It's a common audit finding that organizations have too many administrative personnel," said Dave Frymier, chief information security officer at Unisys. Unisys faced the same problem when it found one day it had more than 100 Microsoft administrators. That number eventually was reduced to fewer than 15. "It just shows that they're human," he said of the NSA.
Alexander offered some ideas on how NSA plans to deal with the problem of trust. "We are now putting in place actions that would give us the ability to track our system administrators, what they're doing, what they're taking. A two-man rule," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
The "two-man" rule requires two people with separate sets of credentials for access to sensitive resources. It can be expensive in terms of manpower and is not fool-proof, but most in the security community think it is a good idea, especially in an environment as sensitive as the NSA.
"I fall into the category of people who wonder why they hadn't been doing this all along," Frymier said. "It's expensive, but it's one of the better solutions to the problem."
It is not the only solution, of course. The first — and most obvious — fix is to minimize the number of systems administrators. As with many simple solutions, however, this is easier said than done. While having a lot of administrators can be a security risk, it also helps to lighten workloads and make it easier to keep systems up and running. People tend to care about security risks only after an incident, but they care about having their systems running seven days a week, so convenience often trumps security.
A second solution is to reduce the privileges given to each administrator. Not all of them need all of the privileges all of the time. A system to grant privileges as required and to revoke them when a task is completed can make it easier to manage the managers. Microsoft has a more fine-grained administrative environment than Unix, and there are off-the-shelf tools to help with this process in a Microsoft environment. Unfortunately, NSA appears to be largely a Unix shop, Frymier said. But with its resources, the agency probably could develop its own administrative tools.
Another good security practice is to log all administrator activity. The problem with this is that logs often are looked at only after an incident, and administrators often have the ability to alter logs. This is where a system for real-time monitoring and alerting for suspicious activity would come in handy.
There are any number of other steps for segregating and protecting sensitive data, but none of them fool-proof. Eventually you have to trust someone with sensitive information. "At some point the problem is a human resource problem rather than a technical one," Frymier said.
So the Cold War saw of "trust but verify" makes sense. "The two-man rule really is the best solution to the problem," Frymier said. "It's a good way to get a vast improvement."

Secure Access Technologies launched a 'Two-Man Rule' solution that implements on any existing system in minutes. No coding or integration. 7 factors of authentication:www.SecureAccessTechnologies.com
The Two-Man Rule and "no alone zone" systems worked during the Cold War to ensure that no single individual had unrestricted access to (and therefore control over), or would be alone in proximity to, nuclear weapon(s) and/or systems linked to them, including electro-mechanical and electronic controls (like computers) and delivery systems. This was a well-thought out and implemented policy -- Dr. Strangelove never would happen. Additionally, the Human Reliability program (and HUMRRO) provided on-going vetting of the psychological fitness of military and civilian individuals alike who worked directly with or had access to nuclear material, nuclear power plants and devices (weapons) and delivery systems. It has worked so far; the alternative to its not working would be a Tom Clancy plot. The two-person rule and "no alone zone" plus human reliability practices might as well work with Cybersec, which BTW could directly and indirectly communicate with nuclear-related or controlling systems -- remember "War Games", the movie? Also, definitely for most if not all applications, admin logs must be made to be "chiseled in stone" (non-erasable); otherwise, where's the accountability?
A solution would to be a separate group (cyber folks) being notified of Admin activity, and only Cyber having access to logging info. Admin access MUST be logged and logs must be reviewed by others... I.e. separation of duties!
Their covert snooping into the citizens who provide the funds for their paychecks should be known. Their security on this information is counter-productive at the least.

I love the quirky quality of this picture. We picked a different, more lush, shot for the norah gaughan vol.2. You won't find a link on the Berroco site yet, but the booklet HAS started to ship to stores. I hope you like it! Currer, knit in Love-it.(Pure Merino would be an excellent choice for a colder weather version.) Now let me admit to a bit of cheating. This is what the knitting really looks like at the underarm: The knitter was trying to help and used short rows instead of casting on every other row and it looks sloppy. (Don't worry, she won't be mortified to read this post). I used i-photo to do some very rudimentary touching up. You can see why we need our art director. It's not my speciality (as they say in the UK).

Mel Rowsell, 'Camp Mother' at Vend, the online retail point-of-sale (POS) software specialist, talks to Gill South about recruitment and HR initiatives. It recently won the 2012 Kenexa award for NZ's Best Small Workplace.
At Vend we like to think of ourselves as one big family, however there is one big difference - we can choose who to invite into Team Vend. This is something we take very seriously because if our team members share the same vision, the same values and are engaged and enthusiastic about what they do, then our road to success is made so much easier.
Like all young companies, our recruitment processes are changing and being constantly refined, however one thing hasn't changed, and that is our absolute focus on employing for "cultural fit". Given the choice between choosing a technical expert who doesn't really 'get' us and someone who fits right in but needs some upskilling, there is no debate - cultural fit always wins.
As time goes by, we are getting more sophisticated about how to gauge this. For example, currently we are asking people to bring something to the interview for show and tell, to tell us about what is rocking their world in the technology sphere and describe their favourite book.
The interview process is a two-way street and we want to give people an inside look at what it would be like to work for Vend. So, we invite applicants out for coffee with the team or at least let other team members meet them in the process, plus show them around the office and encourage them to ask lots of questions. We tell them about our story of disrupting an industry and invite them to be part of this with us.
All of this takes a bit longer than the standard approach however we have learnt that choosing the right team members has to be a top priority regardless of what other demands you have on your time.
We have recently brought recruitment in house with the appointment of our Camp Mother and Cultural Ambassador role however we have used recruitment agencies in the past and will continue to do so selectively in future for certain roles.
Social media
While we still use more traditional tools such as seek.co.nz and www.vendhq.com/jobs, we also try to engage candidates through social media channels like Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. Like marketing our product, we think about who this job would appeal to, where they are likely to be hanging out, and what is likely to appeal to them.
Then we craft a job ad specifically with them in mind.
Word of mouth is also a biggie for us, especially as our efforts to communicate our culture and our employer brand pay off. For example, we were delighted when a candidate turned up for interview dressed as Spiderman in response to a quirky recruitment video we posted to YouTube.
When people join us, we aim to use their entire skill set - not just that in their job description, and we encourage people to develop themselves within Vend. For example, we have recently had people on our helpdesk move into QA and training roles.
We also encourage cross-communication so there is nothing stopping our developers suggesting a marketing idea, or our sales team suggesting a way to support our customers better.
New Zealand has more than its fair share of women entrepreneurs who are creating products, contributing to the New Zealand economy and taking
their ideas overseas. Tell us your stories of success, email me here or via the link below:

Unseasonably warm air spreads across NC
Unseasonably warm air spreads across NC
Record warmth for this time of year has spread across southern North Carolina this weekend.
The National Weather Service says Charlotte tied its record high of 75 degrees Sunday, last reached in 1960. Highs were in the 70s across much of the state, with even the mountains reaching the 60s.
Saturday was even warmer. Forecasters say Fayetteville set a record Saturday with a high of 79, breaking the old record of 77 degrees set in 1916. The average high in Fayetteville this time in January is 53 degrees.
The unseasonably warm weather won't last much longer. Forecasters say temperatures should return to normal winter levels by mid-week.

Today, regular contributor Henci Goer, co-author of the recent book, Optimal Care in Childbirth; The Case for a Physiologic Approach , discusses a just published study on resolving the OP baby during labor through maternal positioning. Does it matter what position the mother is in? Can we do anything to help get that baby to turn? Henci lets us know what the research says in today's post. – Sharon Muza, Community Manager
In OP position, the back (occiput) of the fetal head is towards the woman's back (posterior). Sometimes called "sunny side up," there is nothing sunny about it. Because the deflexed head presents a wider diameter to the cervix and pelvic opening, progress in dilation and descent tends to be slow with an OP baby, and if OP persists, it greatly increases the likelihood of cesarean or vaginal instrumental delivery and therefore all the ills that follow in their wake.
Does maternal positioning in labor prevent persistent OP?
This month, a study titled "Is maternal posturing during labor efficient in preventing persistent occiput posterior position? A randomized control trial" reported on the use of maternal positioning in labor to rotate OP babies to occiput anterior (OA). Investigators randomly allocated 220 laboring women with OP babies either to assume positions designed to facilitate rotation or to recline on their backs. The positions were devised based on computer modeling of the mechanics of the woman's pelvis and fetal head according to degree of fetal descent. The position prescribed for station -5 to -3, i.e., 3-5 cm above the ischial spines, a pelvic landmark, had the woman on her knees supporting her head and chest on a yoga ball. At station -2 to 0, i.e., 2 cm above to the level of the ischial spines, she lay on her side on the same side as the fetal spine with the underneath leg bent, and at station > 0, i.e., below the ischial spines, she lay on her side on the same side as the fetal spine with the upper leg bent at a 90 degree angle and supported in an elevated position.
The good news is that regardless of group assignment, and despite virtually all women having an epidural (94-96%), 76-78% of the babies eventually rotated to OA. The bad news is that regardless of group assignment, 22-24% of the babies didn't. As one would predict, 94-97% of women whose babies rotated to OA had spontaneous vaginal births compared with 3-6% of women with persistent OP babies. Because positioning failed to help, investigators concluded: "We believe that no posture should be imposed on women with OP position during labor" (p. e8).
Leaving aside the connotations of "imposed," does this disappointing result mean that maternal positioning in labor to correct OP should be abandoned? Maybe not.

Heika: Mike Modano still glad hockey found him 'by accident' at age 7
Hockey saved Mike Modano.
And that's just one of the reasons he was so happy Monday night at his induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Because long ago as a rambunctious kid, his parents decided they needed to find a game that allowed little Mike to get his aggression out.
"He was a hard kid to handle and we were getting calls from his teacher, and we decided we just had to try something," said Karen Modano, Mike's mom. "So, Mike Sr. had a friend who suggested he play hockey, and Mike decided he wanted to try it."
Modano, who said he always felt he would be a pro baseball player, said he was hooked the first time he skated at age 7.
"The whole thing kind of happened by accident," he said. "I skated one day, and my whole demeanor changed — my life, my attitude — and I decided I really wanted to play. To this day, I thank my dad's friend for suggesting it."
Because Modano, 42, is a true American hockey success story, his induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame was appropriate.
He started out in baseball and football, but somehow found relief in hockey. He started out in the suburbs of Detroit, but he found as a teen in Canadian junior hockey.
He started out in 1988 as a first-round draft pick hero in snowy Minnesota but found his ultimate success in the searing heat of Texas.
It is as crooked a line as a hockey player could skate, and yet it all makes sense to Modano.
Well, it makes sense now.
"It's just a great feeling to see everyone here and remember some of the great times," he said, surrounded by friends. "That's probably the best thing about it."
Two of his best friends — Darryl Sydor and Brett Hull — were there. So were former teammates like Joe Nieuwendyk, Jere Lehtinen, Richard Matvichuk, Craig Ludwig and Bob Bassen. On hand also were a lot of the support people who worked behind the scenes with Modano and became good friends over the years. Former Stars owner Norman Green was there, too. It was sort of a reunion of the best hockey times in Dallas, a reminder of just how good it had been in the past.
And that's important for Modano, as he tries to look back and look forward all at the same time. Truth be told, he doesn't know what he wants to do. He's helping out the Allen Americans in the front office but said the heavy lifting in that job has been completed. He's talking with the Stars about joining them in some capacity, but he'll have to wait until after the NHL lockout.
"For now, I just want to relax and enjoy where I am," he said.
He's still searching, but he's no longer that rambunctious kid bouncing off the walls and driving his teachers crazy. Hockey put him on a path that led to nights like Monday and will lead to a few more special nights, as well.
"I think we've just got to get him through having his number retired and then the Hockey Hall of Fame, and then we'll be through," said Mike Modano Sr. "It's been a long ride, but it's been worth it."
All because of a chance experiment to see if they could find a 7-year-old a substitute for Ritalin.
"I was a problem child, always in detention. We went through a handful of child psychologists," Modano said. "But somehow, hockey changed me. For that, I'll always be thankful.
"My parents were looking for an outlet, I think we found a lot more than that."

When I first joined Strand Marketing back in February, I took over our key accounts in the RF/microwave industry and, I'll admit, I was a little concerned that I might not fit in at IMS in Montreal. While my previous position was in the complex financial services industry, now I'm managing more technology-type shows and I was a little lost with all of the new terminology that was being thrown around when I arrived—diodes, modules, cable assemblies, attenuators… What? I've learned a lot in the last few months leading up to my first IMS show, not the least of which is that engineers do, in fact, have a great sense of humor and are more open to creative marketing ideas than one would think. While I'll admit to being relieved to have June behind me, nothing could have felt more gratifying than to witness all of our hard work pay off in the form of stopping some incredibly smart people in their tracks.
For a bit of background, allow me to rewind a year. For San-tron, Inc., a manufacturer of RF and microwave coaxial connectors and cable assemblies out of Ipswich, Massachusetts, one of Strand's key responsibilities is creating and managing their IMS giveaway contest each year. It was clear that the bar was set high for me this year after last year's "Crab Hat" contest in Baltimore. In 2011, contestants were asked to grab a San-tron Crab Hat, take a picture of themselves wearing it, and post the picture to San-tron's Facebook page to have a chance at winning an iPad. What engineer would do that, you might ask? Well, the contest just won't end as it still plays out on Facebook! A dedicated fan even went the extra mile (more like extra thousands of miles) to create a 27-page PowerPoint presentation of the Crab Hat celebrating Chinese New Year in Taiwan, dining on lobster in Boston, and crossing Death Valley, among several other amazing places in the world that most people could only dream of visiting. The mastermind and dedicated fan behind the world-traveling Crab Hat is Francois Rivet, who even gave a formal presentation at the San-tron booth the first day of the show this year.
Needless to say, seeing Francois's random posts of the Crab Hat here and there over the last year, I knew that I had a lot to live up to in Montreal. So this year I introduced the "Score Big with San-tron" giveaway contest where contestants would have a chance to win a Samsung HD Video Camera by ringing their San-tron Cow Bell as loud and as close to the booth as possible after receiving a random email alert. Contestants were instructed to come by the booth and get their badge scanned by San-tron's contest coordinator, Sharlie, for a chance to win. Out of 4,118 non-exhibitors, Sharlie scanned over 600 names—the most leads obtained in San-tron's IMS history. It only took the first half of day one of the show for people to catch on to the hype of the contest, and by day two the competition was heated and people were sprinting down the show floor aisles. Consolation prizes were San-tron foam hockey masks. Will they be as popular as the Crab Hats? I guess we'll have to wait and see, but chalk one up for the freshman. What will I have to come up with next year in Seattle, though?
In addition to helping San-tron, Strand designed booth graphics and released daily news stories for Custom MMIC, Laser Services, KCB Solutions, SemiGen and Vaunix. A big thanks to the Microwave Journal for picking up these stories in their daily eblasts during the show and making our clients look good.
I did a lot of running, walking, and eventually, some limping that week and I'm hopeful that my feet will make a full recovery. Exhaustion was fully expected, but what I wasn't expecting was the strong feeling of camaraderie among all of the exhibitors. I am thrilled by the interwoven relationships and recognize that each year the IMS show plays an integral part in keeping those relationships alive. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting various engineers, too, and I was able to gain a deeper understanding of what makes them tick.
In addition to working hard at the show, we had a lot of fun kicking back and exploring Montreal's bars and restaurants. If you missed the bongo girls at the Journal's party at Sir Winston's Tuesday night, be sure to check out our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/StrandMarketing).
Thank you to everyone for welcoming me with open arms. I'm already looking forward to Seattle 2013!

June 30, 2008
Robert F. Wagner, an OSA Fellow noted for his achievements in medical imaging, died on June 30, 2008. He was 70.
Dr. Wagner was a distinguished research physicist and member of the Senior Biomedical Research Service in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). His career was dedicated to the development of consensus measurement methods for the assessment of medical imaging systems, quantitative medical imaging and tissue characterization, and computer-aided diagnosis. He is also remembered for the many invited presentations and tutorials he gave in and outside FDA, his numerous publications, his professional society activities, his assistance in regulatory decision-making, and his role as a mentor to numerous Ph.D. students, post-docs and coworkers.
Wagner received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Villanova University, where he was selected "Outstanding Graduate." He earned an M.A. in Theology from Augustinian College in Washington, D.C. and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Catholic University. After graduate and post-graduate work on the physics of nuclear interactions with radiation, he was hired by the Bureau of Radiological Health (a precursor to CDRH) to assess the dose reduction potential of radiographic intensifying screens made with phosphors developed in the color TV industry. In 1976 he was named Chief of the Diagnostic Imaging Section and he served in that capacity until 1995, when he assumed the role of FDA Senior Biomedical Research Scientist (SBRS), a position he held until his death.
Dr. Wagner was elected as a Fellow of OSA in 1989. He was also a Fellow of the IEEE, SPIE, AIMBE (American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering) and SPSE (The Society for Imaging Science and Technology). The FDA honored him with the FDA Commendable Service Award, the Award of Merit, the Commissioner's Special Citation, the Public Health Service Superior Service Award, and the Excellence in Analytical Science Award, presented in 2001 "for the development of multivariate models and software for the assessment of diagnostic tests, imaging, and computer-aided diagnosis in the presence of multiple random effects."
In recognition of his leadership in the field of assessment of diagnostic imaging performance, Dr. Wagner was chosen as a principal author of an International Commission for Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) report on image quality in medical imaging. The resulting document was published by the ICRU during the centenary year (1995) of the discovery of x-rays by Roentgen. This document laid the foundation for a series of ICRU reports with more detailed recipes, one medical imaging modality at a time, that have been developed since.
Dr. Wagner served on numerous academic advisory boards, search committees, conference program committees and editorial boards. He was a prolific reviewer for a broad spectrum of journals, including Medical Physics, Physics in Medicine & Biology, Optical Engineering and the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, and he performed grant review activities for such institutions as the National Science Foundation, the National Cancer Institute, the Atomic Energy Commission, the Canadian Research Councils and those of Great Britain, and the National Institute of Dental Research. In 2001 he co-chaired the annual conference of the Medical Imaging Perception Society.
Dr. Wagner is remembered by his colleagues for his "strong passion for science and humanity, a warm and charming personality, a wonderful wit, and a self-deprecating humility." He is survived by his wife, Ellyn.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- A graduate student has sued a California university on the grounds a moldy campus apartment led to his baby daughter's hospitalization.
Matthew Richert and his wife, Lori George, are seeking $25,000 in damages from the University of California at Santa Cruz after their 1-year-old daughter, Libby, spent three days in critical condition with respiratory problems.
Libby was diagnosed with asthma and allergic rhinitis, which Richert and George contend was caused by toxic mold found growing on the walls of their apartment shortly after they moved in in 2011.
"We did our best to manage it, but it just kept coming back," Richert told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. "Eventually I realized it was in the walls and the floor."
The family was relocated to a hotel last year after campus maintenance crews tested the apartment. Richert also brought in an independent testing firm that reported finding five separate species of mold in the unit.
The Sentinel said Tuesday that in 2009, a group of some 100 students staged a protest over what they called substandard living conditions at on-campus apartments. Among the complaints was mold in some units that was bad enough to trigger allergy attacks.
A campus spokesman said an inspection conducted in May found mold in 60 of 200 family housing apartments and that repairs were being made.

Bad news for Google TV users – that loophole you (hopefully) were utilizing to watch standard programming has now been closed. CrunchGear reports that Fancast has been blocked by Google TV, eliminating access to NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, and basically anything else not owned by Viacom. Add to the mix a ban blocking Google TV from using Hulu and the product's worth is rapidly decreasing.
The various networks seem determined to deny any access to Internet TV. Claiming worry over pirated links being displayed when users are browsing, Google is still anxiously trying to convince them to budge. It's obvious the traditional TV programmers feel a mounting pressure — consumers want to watch TV on the Internet — and are pulling out all the stops to keep this from happening. Apple TV is experiencing these same growing pains. TV companies can't realistically make the same profits from ads over Internet TV that they do now, and so naturally, no one is lining up to partner with either Google or Apple TV.
But with viewers dropping their cable plans like a bad habit, these companies are only delaying the inevitable. Google TV has some notable contenders in its corner, including the likes of Sony and Logitech. So while it looks like actually investing in Google TV right now is a little premature, it's only a matter of time until it becomes a fully functional TV alternative. But go ahead, mourn the loss of Fancast for today, and then go back to streaming on your computer for the time being.
