UPDATE: Another child diagnosed with lethal virus in Wanaque nursing home outbreak
Lindy Washburn
A new case of a virus that has caused the deaths of nine medically fragile children at a Wanaque nursing home was confirmed Wednesday, bringing the total number of children sickened to 27, the state Health Department said.
The latest child to be diagnosed developed symptoms on Monday, a week after the last previously reported case. As a result, the date at which the outbreak can be considered over, if no new cases develop, has been extended by a week — to Nov. 26.
In addition to the children who have been sickened, a staff member at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation also was previously found to have been infected with adenovirus and has since recovered.
The Wanaque center is licensed to care for 92 children and 135 adults. If all the pediatric beds were full at the time of the outbreak, 22 percent of those patients would have fallen ill and 10 percent would have died.
The vast majority of those who have died in the outbreak have been younger than 18.
Wanaque virus outbreak:Report details hand-washing lapses
Adenovirus:What you need to know about it
Notification:Mother of child who died at NJ facility wasn't told about virus outbreak for weeks
Adenovirus usually causes mild respiratory illnesses in otherwise healthy people but it can be life-threatening to those with severely compromised immune systems. The children at the Wanaque center are in long-term care because of their complex medical needs: Most breathe with the assistance of a ventilator, and many rely on feeding tubes for nutrition.
In response to the outbreak, the Health Department has stationed a full-time staff member at the Wanaque center to make sure all infection control protocols are followed.
In November, expert teams from the Health Department are to visit the Wanaque center and three other long-term care facilities where ventilator-dependent children reside to educate staff members on infection control and the spread of disease.
A surprise inspection of the Wanaque center on Oct. 21 found lapses in hand-washing and basic hygiene, but they were considered minor deficiencies. Health Commissioner Shereef Elnahal plans to meet with federal officials to discuss whether the standards should be tightened
Editor's note: Has your family been affected by the viral outbreak at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation? NorthJersey.com is interested in hearing your perspective. Please call 973-569-7100 and ask for Lindy Washburn or Scott Fallon, or write them at washburn@northjersey.com or fallon@northjersey.com. Thank you.

Abbey of Saint-Evroul
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Abbey of Saint-Evroul or Saint-Evroul-sur-Ouche (Saint-Evroult-sur-Ouche, Saint-Evroul-en-Ouche, Saint-Evroult-en-Ouche, Abbaye de Saint-Evroult, Sanctus Ebrulphus Uticensis [1]) is a former Benedictine abbey in Normandy, located in the present commune of Saint-Evroult-Notre-Dame-du-Bois, Orne, Basse-Normandie. Its name refers to its founder, Ebrulf (Evroul), who founded a hermitage in the forest of Ouche around 560. The abbey was rebuilt around 1000.
Robert de Grantmesnil served as abbot of Saint-Evroul, which he helped restore in 1050. He had become a monk at Saint-Evroul[2] before becoming its abbot.[3]
Orderic Vitalis entered the abbey as a young boy and later wrote a history of the abbey.

Musical tradition
A manuscript from Saint-Evroul depicting King David on the lyre (or harp) in the middle of the back of the initial 'B'.
Normandy was the site of several important developments in the history of classical music in the 11th century. Fécamp Abbey and Saint-Evroul were centres of musical production and education. At Saint-Evroul, a tradition of singing had developed and the choir achieved fame in Normandy. After entering into a violent quarrel with William II of Normandy, Robert de Grantmesnil had been forced to flee to Rome in January 1061 and thence to the court of Robert Guiscard in Salerno, taking with him eleven of his monks, including his nephew Berengar. In his time, Saint-Evroul was famed for its musical programme and these eleven monks brought its musical traditions to the abbey of Sant'Eufemia (now part ot town of Lamezia Terme and different from Sant'Eufemia d'Aspromonte) in Calabria, a foundation of the Guiscards, of which Robert became abbot.[4]

Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (i.e., voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction. Lenz's law describes the direction of the induced field.
Smoke Detector Loops on Alarm Panels. A smoke detector circuit is built into many home security systems. Also known as a "smoke loop", this circuit uses low voltage smoke detectors, powered by the alarm system panel.
Explore the interactions between a compass and bar magnet. Discover how you can use a battery and wire to make a magnet! Can you make it a stronger magnet? Can you make the magnetic field reverse?
If the two requirements of an electric circuit are met, then charge will flow through the external circuit. It is said that there is a current a flow of charge. Using the word current in this context is to simply use it to say that something is happening in the wires charge is moving. Yet current is a physical quantity that can be measured and expressed numerically.

Cloud security commonly holds IT pros back from IaaS, but Security as a Service appeals to some, even for on-premises infrastructures.
Security can be a bugaboo for companies considering cloud infrastructure deployments, but some businesses use the cloud specifically -- and only -- to administer Security as a Service.
IT pros who use Security as a Service offerings say they can cut down on management time spent on common security tasks and provide a centralized, Web-based means of overseeing their infrastructure's security.
G6 Hospitality LLC, the parent company of Motel 6 and Studio 6 based in Carrollton, Texas, uses Trend Micro for all of its security services, both on-premises and cloud-based. Recently, the company put Trend Micro's Web App Security as a Service into production, and Tom Sipes, managing director of IT security and compliance, said it has made application developers' lives easier.
Web App Security provides security analysis of code for Web applications, meaning developers don't always have to wait on G6's security team to reprioritize its schedule to examine code for them.
Web App Security's browser-based dashboards are also a convenient place to get an overview of the Web application environment for G6.
"I like the fact that if I'm sitting at home and we have to run some analysis, if I want to take a quick look, I don't have to VPN in or anything," Sipes said. "I can drill into any one of the sites we're analyzing and know, right out of the chute, where a problem is."
With Web App Security, Sipes doesn't have to rely on third parties to provide Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates.
"I have the ability to go in and take the inbound certificate request, drop it in, get the approval and return the certificate -- and that round-trip time is five minutes," Sipes said. The front-end security developers then have the ability to go into the Web portal and make the request themselves, as long as one of Sipes' security engineers approves it and validates that the certificate request is correct."
Even companies in regulated industries, such as banks, find that Security as a Service meets their security and compliance standards as long as no corporate or user data leaves their facilities.
Travis Homi, director of IT at Central Bank and Trust in Lander, Wyo., uses GFI Software's GFI Cloud for antivirus and patch management on his network of five branch locations in Wyoming, which hold a total of 90 PCs and 15 servers. GFI Cloud can perform security operations on workstations as well as servers.
"Our comfort level isn't to the point where I would move everything to the cloud, especially sensitive customer data; I really believe that needs to be in-house," Homi said. "The actual data that resides on GFI's servers is our IT infrastructure data. … It's still sensitive information, but it's not customer data."
In fact, GFI was recommended to Homi by one of his company's regulatory compliance auditors.
Meanwhile, of the benefits of Security as a Service, Homi said convenience is at the top of the list.
"Ease of management and ease of deployment," he said. "You install the GFI cloud agent on each of your systems, and you can add and remove services from the central Web console."
This will also help when the bank adds more services from GFI, like Web protection.
"I've already got the agent installed on my entire network," Homi said. "I can just deploy that from a website. It's really easy; a big time saver as far as deployment goes."
Other Security as a Service product vendors include Cisco Systems Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., McAfee, Panda Software, Sophos and Symantec Corp.
A few forward-looking shops use Security as a Service to monitor cloud-based infrastructures, too. Find out more in Part 2 of this story.

Key Takeaways: What's the Future of Psychedelics in New York?
A Look At New York's Current Psychedelic Drug Laws (& What Might Change)
Will psilocybin be decriminalized?
By Phil Dubley Last Updated: October 25, 2022
New York recently decriminalized marijuana, although most other psychoactive plants and compounds remain illegal.
However, NY is known for having milder penalties than most other US states. Possessing any controlled substances could lead to a year in prison and a $1000 fine.
This article will summarize New York's psychedelic drug laws and explore what changes may be right around the corner.
We'll also discuss psilocybin's therapeutic benefits and which magic mushroom species can be found growing around New York state.
Most psychedelics carry up to a year in prison and a $1000 fine.
Buying mushroom spores is legal here in New York — germinating them is illegal.
Both recreational and medicinal marijuana are legal in New York.
Ketamine is currently legal for medical use.
No, psychedelic mushrooms are illegal in New York.
Psilocybin, the primary compound in shrooms, classifies as a Schedule I substance in New York. This means that possessing magic mushrooms may cost you up to a year in jail and/or a fine of $1000.
Magic mushrooms have therapeutic benefits, although these are mostly unrecognized by conventional medicine. However, some experts recommend reclassifying psilocybin to take advantage of these medicinal uses.
New York is considering decriminalizing shrooms through Assembly Bill A6065, so keep an eye on how this plays out.
WA MT ND MN SD WY ID OR NV CA AZ NM PR GU AK CO KS OK TX LA AR MO IA WI MI IL IN OH KY TN MS AL GA FL SC NC WV VA PA NY VT NH RI CT MA NJ DE MD ME UT NE DC HI
Legalization Status
Surprisingly, magic mushroom spores are legal in New York (and most other states). It's legal to order spores online and have them delivered. It only becomes illegal when the spores are germinated to grow magic mushrooms.
Check out spore vendors such as Spores 101 or Sporeslab — both of which ship to New York (legally).
Yes, you can find psychedelic mushrooms growing throughout New York state.
Magic mushrooms species grow worldwide. Unfortunately, there are many poisonous species that are difficult to differentiate from magic shrooms.
It's also important to note that it's illegal to harvest wild psychedelic mushrooms in the state of New York.
Some of the most common magic mushrooms you'll find in New York include:
Psylocibe caerulipes — mushrooms are notoriously hard to find, so if you find a place where they grow, make sure to come back every year. You can recognize them easily due to the blue base of their stem.
Psilocybe cyanescens — This species loves places with lots of decaying wood, such as the sides of trails. They are easy to identify, thanks to their wavy appearance. However, we recommend taking a small dose first, as they're highly psychoactive.
Psilocybe weilii — You can search for psilocybe weilii near coniferous forests or in places with lots of red clay on the soil. Plus, this species carries a high concentration of tryptophan, an amino acid related to serotonin.
Lately, research about the medicinal uses of psilocybin has been more active than ever. Although early experiments date back to the sixties, study permits were hard-to-get due to the war on drugs.
In the year 2000, psychedelic research was finally resumed under new legislation introduced by the Obama administration that permitted research institutions to obtain psychedelics for research purposes.
Here are some of the focal points for magic mushroom research:
Mushrooms may improve problem-solving and creativity.
Magic mushrooms may alleviate depression and mood disorders.
Psilocybin may alleviate existential anxiety and depression in palliative care.
Psychedelics like magic mushrooms may offer treatment for PTSD and other manifestations of psychological trauma.
Psilocybin and LSD may be useful in the treatment of cluster headaches.
Magic mushrooms may offer treatment for addiction and substance abuse disorders.
No, LSD (Acid) and related lysergamides are illegal in New York.
Acid is classified as a Schedule I restricted substance and therefore carries the same penalties as psilocybin, MDMA, and cocaine. Possessing any amount of LSD may cost you a year in prison and a hefty fine.
Sadly, these restrictive laws significantly slow down research regarding medicinal LSD. Like most other psychedelics, acid has dozens of therapeutic value in the treatment of mental health disorders.
No, all forms of DMT (dimethyltryptamine) are banned in New York.
DMT is a naturally-occurring compound responsible for producing profound psychedelic experiences. It's the primary ingredient in the shamanic plant mixture known as ayahuasca, as well as changa and the venom of the Sonoran desert toad.
DMT can also be vaped or smoked in pure form.
Carrying DMT in New York may cost you a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
No, MDMA (ecstasy) is illegal in New York.
Ecstasy has shown excellent potential as a therapeutic tool for treating a wide range of mental health disorders — including PTSD, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addiction, and more.
This has led many lawmakers to rethink drug laws to allow them as a last-resort treatment. In fact, MDMA therapy may become legal for clinical use by the end of 2022.
Possessing MDMA in New York carries the same penalties as LSD and magic mushrooms. Therefore, if police find ecstasy on you, it may cost you up to a year in prison and a $1000 fine.
Yes, ketamine is legal for medicinal use in New York but remains illegal for recreational or nonmedical use.
Ketamine is used as an analgesic and sedative in surgical practice and for managing treatment-resistant depression.
Possessing ketamine without explicit authorization carries up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine. Those caught with more than 1 gram of pure ketamine could fit the criteria for even more severe punishments.
Yes, marijuana is legal for both medicinal and recreational use in New York. Delta 8 and delta 10 THC are currently illegal, however.
Recreational marijuana is legal in quantities up to three ounces. Lawmakers passed this law in March 2021 after dozens of failed attempts to legalize it.
Under federal law, hemp-derived delta 8 THC and delta 10 THC are legal throughout the US. This change began with the updated 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp and its derivatives.
However, New York recently banned both delta 8 and delta 10 within its jurisdiction.
Regarding medicinal marijuana, you can only get access to it through licensed medics. You can find all the relevant information on the New York State Medical Marijuana Program's official website.
While they sound pretty similar, legalization and decriminalization are two different concepts. It's vital to understand the distinction, as many states and countries are currently taking a stance on the topic. So here we give you a brief description of each one.
Decriminalization abolishes or significantly reduces penalties regarding the substance. However, selling it is still illegal and often carries severe prison sentences. Although it may not sound like much, this greatly aids in helping addicts and reducing drug-related violence.
On the other hand, legalization removes all penalties related to the drug and permits its sale and commercialization.
New York is a progressive state regarding drug laws, although there is still a lot of work to be done. Nevertheless, legalizing recreational marijuana was a significant step forward.
Concerning psychedelics, the most likely to change is the legalization of MDMA for medicinal use (a federal change coming just around the corner), followed by the decriminalization of natural psychedelics like psilocybin (speculation).

But it's not technically a violation of the declaration Trump and Kim signed at the Singapore summit because North Korea "never said it would" disarm, as Vipin Narang, an associate professor of political science at MIT, tweeted Wednesday.
"North Korea isn't disarming. It never said it would," Vipin Narang wrote on Twitter. "[Trump] has to be well aware of these developments. He just doesn't care. Kim pretends to disarm and Trump pretends to believe him. That'll get everyone to halftime."

Vipin Narang was quoted as saying, "I should clarify one thing: I have no doubt SPD would love a nuclear artillery shell—it's literally in its DNA—but we are talking about a warhead 1/8th size of Nasr and that's not easy without a test. So I'm very skeptical they have one ... yet."

Vipin Narang told CNN that Kim's actions do not amount to "deception since he said on New Year's Day that North Korea would mass-produce and deploy its missiles that it already tested.

Vipin Narang said that for Sunday's procession "the most provocative move would be for Kim to parade new nuclear capable systems that we have not seen before.

"These may look like small goodwill gestures, but they are an important part of the trust-building process which North Korea has signalled it values," said Vipin Narang.

Vipin Narang called Mr Pompeo's plan a "delusional non-starter". Writing on his Twitter account he said: "If this is what Pompeo has asked for, it's no wonder North Korea has called him a 'robber' or 'gangster-like'. And trying to literally take their nukes away distracts from other realistic objectives like caps."

The US is anticipating that North Korea will return the remains of some 55 American service members on Friday, which is the 65th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended fighting in the Korean War.
SSP's Vipin Narang tells Vox it's a good thing that Pyongyang is dismantling the rocket-launch facility. But it's a positive step having less to do with North Korea's missile-launching ability, and more to do with how it will make the Trump administration look.

It is good news, said Vipin Narang, "but there are a couple of caveats. ...the Sohae test site could be destroyed, and North Korea could continue to improve their missile force and produce nuclear weapons."
President Trump tweeted a strongly worded message to President Rouhani of Iran. Jim Walsh says that the president's tweet could come off as a nuclear threat.

"The overall importance of the Sohae missile site has also likely diminished for Pyongyang" says Vipin Narang on the news that satellite imagery shows North Korea has begun taking down its main satellite launch facility.

"Trump's tweet betrays the fundamental problem: He thinks it was a contract and a unilateral agreement to denuclearize," said Vipin Narang. "But when North Korea says it is not going to unilaterally disarm, that is not the influence of China — that is them knowing what they signed [in Singapore]."
President Trump heads to Europe this week for the NATO summit after a weekend that featured heated rhetoric from North Korea on denuclearization. Jim Walsh weighs in on Here & Now.

Vipin Narang described the criticism as a "negotiating tactic." But he also cautioned, in a tweet, that the Kim regime is signalling "… (1) We aren't unilaterally disarming…(2) Any other stuff short of that? Gonna cost you chief…"
The North could try to trade sites and technology that have relatively low values in exchange for sanctions relief, while covertly operating facilities required to advance key capabilities, SSP's Vipin Narang said. "What it suggests is that Kim has no intention of surrendering his nuclear weapons."
Andreas IllmerBBC News
"You can imagine a North Korean strategy where — without a full disclosure of all their facilities — they can offer to shut down some of the known sites in order to get sanctions relief," SSP's Vipin Narang explains to BBC News. "At the same time they would clandestinely push ahead at the secret sites."
"North Korea has had a decade-long nuclear testing sequence where they have presumably learned a lot about designs," SSP's Vipin Narang told CNN. "They probably do not need full blown tests to go into serial production of warheads."

"Its command and control structure while Kim is traveling is unlikely to be robust enough for him to be able to reliably issue or stop launch sequences," says Vipin Narang. He said that was because North Korea was likely to have configured its nuclear forces to permit rapid authorization to launch in order to offset the risk of a first strike from the United States.

"This is a great step," said Vipin Narang, noting that the summit preparation was best handled by experts behind the scenes rather than in public forums such as Twitter. "This is how progress is made, and the best chance to have a summit, and one that yields meaningful outcomes," Narang said.
Jim Walsh, SSP senior research associate and foreign policy expert corrects Fox News host claiming the Iran deal must be bad because Iran wants to stay in "By that definition, no deal would ever be good if the parties supported it.

"Denuclearization is a catch-all term that allows both sides to let it mean whatever they want it to mean...It creates a lot of trouble as you approach a summit, because both sides can have very different definitions or notions of what it means." Vipin Narang told the WSJ.

"This was a smart move by Kim," says Vipin Narang. "Although it largely formalizes previous pledges on the moratoria from last November and March, it still leaves a lot of wiggle room for circumventing the pledges in the future, and nothing in there is irreversible. And nothing in there mentions denuclearization, of any variety."

Vipin Narang said Thursday's test did not demonstrate any "new capability, (this) was simply a developmental test before India inducts it into operational service."

Municipal Hospital Closings Under Title VI: A Requirement of Reasonable Justifications
Carol A. Cimkowski
Title VI, hospitals, race discrimination, health care
Municipal hospital closings in recent years are a by-product of two phenomena: 1) the dramatic increase in health care costs and, 2) the fiscal crisis facing many cities. The impact of this reduction in municipal services is felt most acutely by indigent inner city residents, who, because of municipal hospitals receive a portion of their funding from the federal government, have been able to challenge the closings of acute health care facilities as a violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Whether plaintiffs can succeed in these suits depends upon the standard that federal courts will employ to review Title VI challenges to municipal hospital closings. This Comment examines the standards employed in reviewing suits charging racial discrimination in municipal hospital closings. Two main issues will be discussed: 1) the burden plaintiffs must meet to establish a prima facie case of racial discrimination and 2), the circumstances that might justify municipal action once racial discrimination has been show and the burden of proof has shifted to the municipality. Because the standards of review in Title VI cases are derived from constitutional case law, this Comment will first examine the standards of review used in equal protection decisions. Second, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 will be discussed and the statutory standard of review will be distinguished from the constitutional standards of review. Finally, this Comment will explore the standards that have been applied to the municipal hospital closings and the policy considerations which support and conflict with their application.
