Just goes to show, you can’t destroy an ant hill by killing a few ants here and there.

Health Center Announcement on the Emergency Alert System:

“These individuals have received antibiotic medication as a precaution.  The University staff is working with the patient’s roommate and friends to identify others who may need the medication.  The Health Center will administer the antibiotic to other members of the campus community who may be at risk for infection

Due to the severity of the illness, the Health Center is advising that individuals who may have had this level of contact see a health care professional and receive antibiotic medication to help prevent the illness.  The treatment comes in the form of a single pill.”

For more information call the Health Center at 541-346-2770.

According to the bug report, the problem lies in the Windows operating system and is available to be patched manually.  A formal Windows Update through the Windows Update program is expected to follow.  The bug was discovered three days ago and as such it is not expected to be fixed anytime soon.  There is no way to re-enable either add-on at this time, despite the fact that the problem was in the OS and not the plug-in.

“People can’t be tricked into fixing health care.” If you want to bring the country together, he continues, you have to aim for 70 votes and the kind of bipartisan strength that the Healthy Americans Act has with 14 senators sponsoring the bill.

Worth noting, as shown by data tallied by blogger Nate Silver, is that Wyden has received $674,117 in campaign contributions from the health care industry, 3.7 percent of his total campaign funding, which is a higher portion than about three fourths of the Senate. Only nine Democrats get a higher percentage of campaign money from health industry groups.

“Senators whom the health care industry seems most inclined to give money to are not necessarily those who are complete deadweight on the issue,” Silver writes. “Rather, it’s those like Enzi and Conrad who are pushing solutions which are invariably described as bipartisan but which are in fact likely to lock in an industry-friendly plan.” Note the headline of Levy’s editorial: “Wyden’s Third Way,” and the piece’s emphasis on its bipartisan support

The plan is drawing fire, though, from labor unions. A political action committee paid for the following television ad opposing Wyden’s bill and in favor of Obama’s plan:

Meanwhile, three cases of the virus have been confirmed in Oregon — two in Mutnomah and one in Polk County — while another 19 are considered probable, including five in Lane County. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s statistics indicate that the number of confirmed cases has risen to 286, with the largest numbers in New York and Texas.

For the moment, according to a statement released by WOU President John Minahan, the closure will only last until Monday, when the Center for Disease Control will announce the results of its test on the student. After that, Minahan said, the school will decide what to do next.
