Ian Kilpatrick, chairman of IT specialist Wick Hill Group, examines the range of Internet security threats faced by companies today and advises on how to protect against them.
How to use the Internet while staying secure has always been a concern for businesses. Over the last couple of years there have been many changes in the Internet threat scenario. Most notably there has been a significant increase in the 'access anywhere/anytime culture' with a growth in social networking, a move to convergence solutions such as VoIP, a major increase in smartphone use, a growth in cloud computing, plus the 'consumerisation' of systems (i.e. the use of personal devices for company data).
The range of security threats includes
* Malicious threats, such as viruses and other malware
* Fraud threats such as phishing emails, spyware and toll fraud
* Unauthorised access from hacking, data leakage, botnets, unsecured wireless, and user name/password insecurity, etc.
* Operational threats, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, attacks on VoIP, the failure of cloud computing suppliers to secure your network, or security risks from remote workers.
* Newer threats such as social networking insecurity, web application threats, smartphone insecurity and poor security for converged voice/data applications on the network
The basics that companies need to protect themselves in today's internet environment include:
Risk assessment/risk management.
A risk assessment should be carried out BEFORE implementing additional aspects of internet use, to identify the risks and determine what, if anything, needs to be done to minimise them. It is important to regularly review all security policies. Recent history has shown that it is less expensive, easier and more efficient to deploy security at the beginning of any project than to try to "backfill" it. Oh yes, and it's more secure!
Staff training
Educated staff are the first and main line of defence. Staff need to be brought on board, where security is concerned. The impetus needs to come from the top and be maintained.
Staying up to date
A basic and key way of staying secure is to make sure you rapidly deploy software updates, such as operating system and browser updates. Make sure too that patches, particularly security patches, are installed as soon as available.
As a first line of defence, users should be educated to not open unknown attachments, which are a common source of viruses and spyware, and to be very cautious about clicking on any links.
Anti-virus systems should be behaviour-based and updated automatically in the background. Many anti-virus solutions also incorporate anti-spyware elements, to help cope with problems such as the theft of user names and passwords. Suppliers include Kaspersky Lab, VIPRE Business, Norton, McAfee and Symantec. Anti-spyware suppliers include Barracuda Networks and WebRoot. Free anti-spyware solutions, such as Spybot, are also available.
Firewalls are now almost universally deployed. All messages entering or leaving the network pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.
A huge range of firewalls is available today from companies such as Check Point, Nortel, Nokia and WatchGuard. Firewalls are also available as part of a unified threat management appliance (UTM) or an extensible threat management (XTM) appliance, where a firewall is combined with other security functions, including (in many cases) web application firewalling (WAF), sometimes also known as deep packet inspection (DPI).
The best way to prevent unauthorised access is through authentication.
Single factor authentication involves the use of passwords only, ranging from weak to complex. It has a number of insecurities and is highly vulnerable to the same password being used for multiple applications (including social networking), increasing the risk that your business applications security could be breached.
Strong two factor authentication comprises something you know (a password) and something you have (e.g. a hardware token, which can produce a time limited one time password, a soft token (for example a PIN sent to a mobile phone) or a swipe card). Companies including VASCO, RSA and CRYPTOCard provide strong two factor authentication solutions. While there are still risks with this approach, it provides significantly improved security at a comparatively low cost
Biometric authentication, involving personal elements such as fingerprint or iris recognition, is more appropriate for high security applications, such as financial or defence.
Remote user security
Encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs), either IPsec or SSL, are the typical solution for secure branch to head office communications, for communications between companies and third parties such as suppliers, and for secure communications between remote/mobile workers and head office/branches. This should be done, using a minimum of two-factor authentication.
Branch offices can install low-cost remote UTMs which incorporate VPNs and these can be centrally administered, typically by the head office. Companies such as WatchGuard, Check Point and NETASQ provide remote, centrally manageable IPsec and SSL VPN solutions.
Another method of securing remote and mobile users is endpoint security (EPS). Coupled with central management, it can ensure that firewall, anti-virus and security patches are used. A range of solutions is available from companies such as Check Point, GFI Software, Kaspersky Lab and Citrix.
With the growth of remote working, managing the remote worker network securely has become increasingly difficult and costly. To complicate matters, many employees are using their own PCs, laptops and smartphones to link to the company.
This carries a significant risk of these devices being infected by spyware, etc. and introduced to the network. Additionally, data on them could be unprotected. Coupled with this, there is the high cost of providing, supporting, patching and managing company supplied devices.
One solution is for the employer to give the employee an allowance to buy their own PC or laptop and to supply them with a secure, hardware encrypted flash drive with embedded security software.
This creates a secure tunnel, stronger than an SSL VPN, between the remote worker's PC and the applications on the home network. File transfer between the PC hosting the flash drive, and the corporate network, is strictly controlled. The use of applications and programmes too is subject to the applied security policy.
These types of solutions essentially provide a secure, virtual environment, irrespective of the security status of the users PC/Laptop. They include solutions from Check Point (Abra) and IronKey, as well as the different approach of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) from Citrix and VMware.
Smartphone growth presents another remote access security risk. Staff are increasingly using them to retrieve email and use other applications on the move.
But they remain largely unprotected and have the potential to put the whole network at risk through unauthorised access, particularly as they are so easily lost or stolen. Wi-Fi roaming out of the office, creates a number of security risks, including the risk of identity and security credentials being lost or stolen.
Because of the dangers, smartphones should be treated just like PCs, when it comes to securing them.
A lot can be done through carrying out a number of simple preventative actions. For example, use the PIN function to secure the phone, install data wiping facilities, employ time-out policies, and install GPS tracking so the phone can be located if stolen. Authentication to the network from smartphones is essential.
Specific smartphone security solutions are also available from suppliers such as Kaspersky Lab, Sipera, CRYPTOCard and Check Point.
Wireless security
The use of wireless has grown significantly in the last few years and is now endemic, with smartphones increasingly being used to connect to wireless.
Authentication is absolutely crucial in this environment and strong two factor authentication should be used for access to all confidential internal data, from wireless pcs, laptops and smartphones. Sensitive data should not be held on a smartphone or wireless laptops, unless encrypted.
IPSec or SSL encrypted VPNs should be used for all wireless communications between head office and remote locations, such as branch offices, mobile users or home workers.
When employees leave a company, and their access to wireless hasn't been managed, then the risk of them causing problems through unauthorised access is significantly increased.
Wi-Fi roaming and Bluetooth are other risks, with many users leaving their devices Wi-Fi roaming and Bluetooth-enabled. This leaves them vulnerable to attacks resulting in access to the devices and the company network, particularly if authentication is not strong enough.
If your organisation is using unencrypted wireless in the office, all the information held on your network can be at risk. If your existing solution supports WPA2 or even the discredited WEP encryption, switch it on (it will have arrived with the default off). It is a good idea to encrypt all relevant confidential files, data, internal e-mails and network attached storage (NAS).
Wireless security providers include companies such as Aruba Networks, Check Point, Ruckus, SonicWall, and WatchGuard.
Encryption (including laptop and smartphone encryption)
The easiest and most effective way of stopping sensitive and critical data being read by unauthorised personnel or outsiders is to encrypt it.
Loss or theft of data stored on laptops or smartphones is a particular problem.
However, this can be easily and inexpensively protected using comparatively low-cost encryption software for laptops from companies such as Pointsec, Utimaco and PGP, and specific mobile security software for smartphones.
The use of unified encryption management (UEM) means encryption can be easily managed across all data risk areas including desktops, laptops, PDAs, USB sticks, mobile phones and other removable media.
* Converged systems security
Security convergence is different from normal data security, because the link between phone systems and the Internet makes both voice and data more vulnerable to problems such as toll fraud and the total loss of both voice and data communications, if VoIP is hacked. However, there are security products available specifically tailored for a unified communications (UC) environment. These include solutions from Sipera, Panasonic and Samsung.
* Cloud computing/hosted systems security
If you put your network into the cloud or use hosted systems, then you are making someone else responsible for your security and need to ask your supplier a number of questions. These could include:
- what security and authentication procedures are in place for remote staff access?
- how is data secured against leakage?
- what protection is there against DDoS attacks?
- how can you guarantee your staff won't access my company's data?
- what is the service level agreement for availability and what is the recourse if it is breached?
- in what jurisdiction is my data held and stored?
Unified threat management systems (UTMs) are designed to provide a range of security solutions in a single appliance, reducing costs and simplifying the whole process of security systems management and installation. The minimum requirement for a UTM is a firewall, VPN, anti-virus and intrusion detection/prevention. Some UTMs may also provide anti-spam, web content inspection spyware protection, centralised management, monitoring, and logging capabilities.
Extensible threat management systems (XTMs) are a development of UTMs, which combine fast throughput with advanced networking features to handle high-volume traffic. They are suitable for 50-10,000 or more users.
Popular UTM and XTM solutions include those from WatchGuard, Check Point, Fortinet, Barracuda Networks and NetASQ.
Web Application Firewalling (WAF)
Web application firewalls apply rules to HTTP (essentially web server and browser) conversations. This is sometimes also known as deep packet inspection (DPI). Dedicated devices are available such as SecureSphere from Imperva, ModSecurity (open source) and the Barracuda Web Site Firewall. WAF is also included in many UTM and XTM solutions.
A variety of other multi-functional solutions, incorporating various security product mixes, is also available from companies such as Kaspersky Lab, Symantec, McAfee and Computer Associates.
The latest important IT security concerns include the increasing amount and variety of remote access, and the growing use of converged systems such as VoIP and smartphones. However, these and other ongoing security risks such as malware, fraud and data leakage, can all be adequately protected against with a strong commitment to security and the deployment of appropriate solutions.

- Probe into gas crematorium projects
PIMPRI CHINCHWAD: A three-member committee will conduct an inquiry into allegations of irregularities in the gas-based crematorium projects in Pimpri Chinchwad, civic chief Dinesh Waghmare confirmed at the general body meeting on Saturday. Waghmare said that the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will not spare officials, people's representatives, or contractors, who may that will be found guilty of committing the irregularities. If the need arises, the civic body will take action of lodge police complaints. The committee is expected to submit its report within a week.in next four to five days Waghmare was replying to a three-hour discussion by corporators about alleged irregularities in the gas-based crematoriums, as well as irregularities in the purchase of idols meant to be given to warkaris (devotees) during their annual pilgrimage to Pandharpur. The municipal commissioner said, "The standing committee had approved a resolution to purchase idols for the warkaris. The proposal to construct five gas-based crematoriums is still pending for approval before the standing committee. The tender committee opened the received bids, compared rates put forward by contractors and sent it to the concerned department head for approval. Eventually, the bids were later sent to the chief auditor, who has clearly stated that no irregularities have occurred or less documents have not been submitted''." Waghmare said a committee had been appointed to check the alleged irregularities in purchase of idols. "The committee has sought an extension to submit the report," he stated. Ruling party leader Mangala Kadam said, "The standing committee has blacklisted the contractor who supplied the idols. The municipal commissioner can take further action, if necessary. Corporators felt that it was crucial to construct a gas-based crematorium for the benefit of residents. It is the official's job to check whether the specifications in the contract are fulfilled by the contractors and the project is implemented properly."EOM
- Body found on terrace, probe on
NEW DELHI: A man's body was found on the terrace of a building in outer Delhi's Aman Vihar on Sunday morning. According to the police, the man was bludgeoned to death with a brick that was found next to the body. Investigations have revealed that the man was drinking with one of the tenants in the building late at night. Police suspect that the tenant could be the murderer as he was found to be absconding with his family. The incident took place during the early hours. Police are probing if the murder was due to a fight over the victim's relationship with the tenant's wife, as they said that a woman's clothes were also recovered from the spot. "Around 8am, local residents called the police and reported that an unattended body is lying in the rain on the terrace of a building. A police team rushed to the spot and found that the man was dead. His face was smashed multiple times with a brick lying next to him and a few teeth were broken. He was taken to a hospital where the doctors declared him dead on arrival. The man could not be identified," said a senior police officer.

Indore: Collector P Narahari on Wednesday ordered a magisterial probe in the death case of a snake charmer, who was allegedly beaten by forest officials and members of an NGO. The collector has asked sub divisional magistrate (SDM) Malharganj area N N Pandey to begin an inquiry in the case.

Urban development ministry has directed the divisional commissioner to look into the matter and submit a report within a month.

Claiming that people are faced with water paucity due to irregular supply of water, he sought an explanation from CM Fadnavis, who also holds the urban development ministry portfolio. Replying to query, CM informed that the divisional commissioner had been directed to conduct an inquiry into the allegation and submit the report in four weeks.

- Mishra: Probe fake online accounts
NEW DELHI: Tourism minister Kapil Mishra has complained against "fake social media profiles" created under his name are being allegedly used to "incite communal and caste-based tensions". Mishra, who wrote to home minister Rajnath Singh, commissioner of police and heads of Twitter India and Facebook India, said some of the accounts that were @kapilmishraAPP and @JalMantri on Twitter and @Unofficial KapilMishra and @KapilMishraG on Facebook. "This is to bring to your notice that there are some fake accounts being operated on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter which are using my name and photo to incite communal and caste based tensions. People who are operating these accounts are posting fake pictures and statements in my name and then they spread screenshots of such fake posts through various accounts," said Mishra's letter. He added that because of the way the fake accounts and posts were being promoted, "I can tell you that there is a very systematic, professional and organised attempt to incite communal and caste-based violence. Some posts are so violent and poisonous that people reading and spreading openly give threats of attacking me", Mishra said. Mishra said he had submitted more complaints on similar matters to the commissioner of police. "I am writing to you to ensure strict criminal action against such people as people running these accounts are causing a threat to communal harmony in an organised and criminal manner," he added.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Rice University volleyball concludes tournament play ahead of the start of Conference USA play with the Active Ankle Challenge in Louisville on Friday and Saturday. The Owls have a quick turnaround with the opening match less than 48 hours after hosting Baylor on Wednesday.
Weekend Storylines
• The Active Ankle Challenge is the last tournament in the regular season for Rice before Conference USA play begins on Sept. 27. The Owls square off against three vaguely familiar foes at the event, having faced Bowling Green once (W, 3-1 in 2008), Louisville twice (0-2, last meeting in 2005) and Virginia Tech once (W, 3-0 in 1990).
• In their last outing, the Owls hosted Baylor on Wednesday night. Rice started strong with a 25-18 win in the opening set before the Bears rallied to take the next three.
• Jillian Humphrey put down double-figure kills for the ninth time in 11 matches on the season, leading the squad with 14, including a .346 hitting percentage. She has now hit over .300 in five-straight matches.
• Daniela Arenas notched 21 of Rice's 66 digs on Wednesday, bringing her career total to 943. With 57 more, she would become the 14th player in program history to pass the 1,000 dig mark. Her 4.07 digs per set ranks eighth in Conference USA.
• Noelle Whitlock has come on strong in the past two matches, with a season-high 14 kills (.387 hitting) against NC State and 11 more kills against Baylor. She previously had only knocked down double-figure kills twice on the season. Her 19 digs against the Wolf Pack were also a season best.

• Rice cruised past Houston Baptist in a four-set win to open last weekend's competition before running into tough Missouri and NC State squads.
• In the first Rice Invitational of the season, the Owls played LSU to a four-set loss, but had two thrilling sets, winning a 28-26 first set, and dropping a 31-29 fourth set, the team's longest set since September 15, 2012
• The Owls have played three five-set matches this season (0-3 record), including the first two matches of the year. Rice played six five set matches in all of 2012, going 3-3.

Only Kong Toys Last,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: KONG Extreme Goodie Bone Dog Toy, Medium, Black (Misc.)
With a German Shepherd/Lab mix, toys usually don't make it more than 10 minutes before they are destroyed. The only toys that have consistently lasted (some for almost 6 months now) are Kong toys. This is the newest to his collection of Kong toys, and he treasures it like a real bone, and he can naw on it all he wants, and little to no damage happens.
This, along with all other Kong products (besides the frizbee) have been wonderful. They even let you put treats in them, but my dog likes them either way. They aren't quiet indestructible, but pretty darn close. Buying one every few months is a lot better than buying one every few minutes.

Thanks, Yahoo, You Did the Right Thing
It looks like Yahoo has reinstated the Linux/Open Source link on their Tech News page. Perhaps it was just a fat-fingered mistake or an accident of some sort that the link was removed from the main link bar but it certainly raised my hackles. And, frankly, my hackles don't need raising over something like this. But, they've put it back in a different location (not a big deal) but at least they've put it back. And, for those of you who either believe that it never left or that my eyesight is somehow to blame, I have screen shots for you.
This is the screenshot on the day that I noticed the link missing. In its place is Social Media.

Salix 14.2 Xfce Edition Officially Released Based on Slackware 14.2, Xfce 4.12
After being in development for the past three months, the Salix 14.2 Xfce Edition operating system has finally hit the stable channels, and it is now available for download. Based on the Slackware 14.2 GNU/Linux distribution and built around the lightweight and highly customizable Xfce 4.12 desktop environment, Salix 14.2 Xfce Edition ships with numerous improvements and new features that some of you who managed to test-drive the Beta and Release Candidate pre-releases are already accustomed with. Of course, many of the core components and default applications have been updated to their latest versions.

GNOME Control Center 3.22 to Update the Keyboard Settings, Improve Networking
The upcoming GNOME 3.22 desktop environment is still in the works, and a first Beta build was seeded to public beta testers last week, bringing multiple enhancements and new features to most of its core components and apps. While GNOME 3.22 Beta was announced on August 22, it appears that the maintainers of certain core packages needed a little more time to work on various improvements and polish their applications before they were suitable for public testing. And this is the case of GNOME Control Center, which was recently updated to version 3.21.90, which means 3.22 Beta.

Booking ref: PARBK / Singapore Airlines flight to Bali, Nov. 2010, Flight SQ317
Dear Purple Parking
I should have written before
A brief line to say thank you for exceptional service on our return from Bali at the end of Nov. You may recall the airplane's cargo doors froze shut causing a huge delay at baggage return - and then our bags failed to appear entirely (we got them back two days later).
I kept you informed throughout, but even so this meant a 1.5hr+ wait for your driver in not the best of conditions. He met us with not a word of complaint, however, and even with a smile.
All our thanks - and we've just booked with you again for a flight to Egypt from Gatwick at the end of this month that we hope will go a lot more smoothly!

1. Theo Cosby, Edward Snowden Girlfriend: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know by Paul Farrell (Heavy)
Easily taking the top spot is this article from a website I did not even know had articles. It combines the moron-friendly list structure of a BuzzFeed article with the rigorous journalism of a Skintern freeze-framing a half-titty on an episode of Justified. Also features a Google Streetview pic of the house they shared (share?). It reads like a murderer's plan for killing somebody they have been stalking.
Farrell dragged out all the naughtiest Theo Cosby pictures to give us facts we "need to know" like "4. She Had Been Working as a Pole-Dancer." Now when that question comes up on the Theo Cosby final exam you will be equipped to answer correctly.
Don't miss Heavy.com's "30 Strange & Sexy Photos of Edward Snowden's Girlfriend."
And by "don't miss" I mean "do fucking miss." Also, Heavy now seems like the sort of website where you get Bulgarian viruses that pop up ads for muscle pills. So way to go with that.

Graphic video of Sydney poultry workers cruelly mistreating turkeys at a processing plant at major retail supplier Inghams Enterprises has been turned over to Australian police.
Watch the abuse video here: Warning - graphic footage
Sydney vet Dr Mark Simpson said the behaviour shown in the footage, taken from a camera hidden in the south-west Sydney plant by Animal Liberation over two weeks, was among the worst he had seen.
He said CCTV monitoring of the slaughtering of animals should be mandatory to prevent further pain and suffering of animals.
The video, shown on Australian current affairs show Lateline last night, shows workers at the plant kicking birds, stomping on their heads and slamming them against production line machinery.
Emma Hurst, from Animal Liberation, said the workers showed complete disregard for the suffering they were inflicting on the turkeys.
"It is as though these animals are mere objects and that they are there for their enjoyment to torture them," Hurst told the ABC.
She said acts of animal cruelty by the workers were filmed on the secret camera every day and it appeared they went out of their way to intentionally harm the birds.
The ABC showed the footage to Ingham chief executive Kevin McBain, who issued a statement saying Australia's biggest poultry producer does not tolerate mistreatment of its livestock.
He said the company condemned the animal abuse seen in the footage and would "review, retrain and reinforce our animal welfare standards throughout the organisation".
He said the company was carrying out its own investigation to resolve "these intolerable incidents".
The ABC said Animal Liberation had given the footage to police and welfare authorities.

The Onyx Theatre was a good venue for this show. I have seen the show in several other cities and this production while more intimate and camp was also more amateur and less polished. Still a good time was had by all. The audience was very fun,...continued

Fun night out!!!
The title is self-explanatory. Eight buffed and butt-naked guys, with camera-ready bods and perky personalities to match, sing and dance their way through 16 musical numbers dedicated to stripping you of your inhibitions in a glorious celebration of the altogether.
After the initial shock wears off, you get so accustomed to the nudity that it no longer gets in the way of the entertainment. The effect is strangely liberating. It's only 90 minutes long, and by the time it is over, you'll feel overdressed in a tank top.

The editor explains that this book's authors are native Italian speakers with a strong Latin streak and that a "faithful translation would have been unreadable". The significance of this warning soon becomes apparent. Their tedious diatribe is constantly interrupted by "stories", which begin abruptly and end ambiguously. Some are sophomoric jokes, some are allegories and some are actually presented as true events, occasionally including actual names, more often just vague hints. In at least one story, they get mixed up, confusing Pius XII with Paul VI. All the stories are artless and are usually followed up by a threatening Bible verse from Jeremiah, Malachi or Jesus, usually railing against the priests and Pharisees. The verses are rendered in bizaarely stilted English ("Why smitest thou me?") and, with perhaps [traditional] Catholic style, are devoid of chapter and verse references.Read more ›

UK: Wells & Young's pulls Cobra Beer brewing as debts mount
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 9 June 2009
Wells & Young's has confirmed that it has ceased brewing Cobra Beer's namesake beer brand in the UK.
Following a report earlier this week in UK trade publication The Publican, the brewer said yesterday (8 June) that it has stopped brewing Cobra as "overdue payments had mounted up and Cobra were unable to pay".
Last week, Cobra was bought out of pre-packaged administration by a joint venture between Molson Coors UK and Cobra founder Lord Bilimoria. The company is believed to have racked up debts of around GBP75m (US$120.9m).
"We wish Cobra Beer all the best in the new company chaired by Lord Bilimoria, and we will now turn to our credit insurers for settlement of the debts," Wells & Young's said this week.
When contacted by just-drinks today, a spokesperson for Wells & Young's declined to detail how much the company is owed by Cobra Beer.
A spokesperson for Cobra, meanwhile, has told just-drinks: ""Molson Coors has an important trading relationship with Wells & Young's and we recognise the productive brewing role they have played in Cobra's development over the past decade.
"We have been in conversations with Wells & Young's regarding transitional brewing options and we were aware of their intention moving forward. Continuity is unaffected by this announcement and the joint venture is already taking orders for new stocks of Cobra."

what's going on at Londons Womens Care
Posted in the London Forum
1 - 20 of 69 Comments Last updated Jun 28, 2010
#1 Jun 7, 2010
what's your opinion about the doctors at Londons womens center?seems like they are very careless about their patients. what do you think?
#2 Jun 7, 2010
Which doctors would you be talking about there. Ive always went there since i had my first child almost 8 years ago, ive had 3 kids now and have seen Dr. Mechas will all of them and he always has been the best. He was always concerned with how things were going with me and the babies. I have not one complaint with him what so ever and would recommend him to anyone. If you havent had a visit with him maybe you should consider him for you next appointment. Im almost positive he wont let you down. He has always been so gentle and caring with me in every visit
#3 Jun 7, 2010
i have no complaints with any of them.. ive seen mechas.. briere (sp?).. and barton.. ive had 2 kids so far and considering a 3rd.. they answered any questions i had and talked about things other then the visit.. i adore them!
#4 Jun 7, 2010
I will make this short and to the point. I began going there when I was 10 weeks along in my pregnancy. They ran a few routine tests and I went on my way. Now please keep in mind that I am a well rounded individual and believe it or not have never even smoked a cigarette in my life. I received a phone call at 7:30 p.m. from that office telling me it was urgent that I come in first thing in the morning. When I got there they would not allow me around the other pregnant women. They put me in a room by myself. I over herd people in the halls talking about me. Two people entered my room and began telling me that I had contracted the Rubella (MMR) virus. They began explaining that it was going to cause birth defects to my child. They then proceeded to push abortion papers in front of me. I was hysterical, my entire life flashed before my eyes, I was in utter disbelief. How could this happen to me, I always took care of myself and took my vitamins and ate properly. The next few days seemed like an eternity. Research upon research was done, the information I found was unbearable. Loss of hearing, sight and motor skills. Deformity. My husband and I had been married for one year and were so excited to start a family. We were devastated and didn't know who to turn to for help. Days later we got a second opinion from some doctors in Corbin. After simply looking over my history, I was told that because I was in sports throughout school, I was given too many MMR vaccines and was just highly protected against the virus. There was nothing wrong with my baby, he was as healthy as could be. So here we were, two weeks of our lives had flashed before us. We were in agony but knew we would love this baby no matter what. Thoughts of all sorts poured through our minds, many suggestions but no answers. Our little guy is now a over a year old and as healthy and beautiful and fun loving as can be. But sometimes I ask myself, what if I wouldn't have gotten a second opinion? What if I would have taken their (abortion) advice? I would not have my beautiful son today. Maybe some of you have had a pleasant experience with this facility, but I have not. I hope some of you use your own judgment like I did, and know that the doctor's are not always right. To this day, I feel as though a part of me is left at that office, fighting for other women who are being given inaccurate information. I look at my son and feel so much hatred and resentment toward them, because I know they could have easily taken him away from me. My son, my life. I hope that people who read my story do not bash me for the way I feel, but can understand and know a mothers love and will to fight for her family. So please to anyone who reads my story, know my heartfelt agony. Share your story, and fight for what we all know is right!
#5 Jun 8, 2010
How nice your experience turned out well. Grateful NO!! Why hold this resentment? Why start a topix asking what others thought when in all actuality you wanted to tell your story. Mistakes are made everyday. Evidently your mother made some by letting you receive so many MMR vaccines. Anyone with that diagnosis should get a second opinion. There are some horror stories from Corbin too. Patients hold some responsibility also, and with the new medical system more will be required of patients. Let go of your anger, it doesn't look good on you.
#6 Jun 8, 2010
She never started the story, BUT I am so glad that she shared her experience with others so they may be aware to be more careful about diagnosis from there.
Praise God she was given the wisdom to seek another opinion or she may have aborted her precious child. Thank you God for your direction to this family!
#7 Jun 8, 2010
They have been pushing a hysterectomy on me for endometriosis. Nevertheless, I'm getting a second opinion also.

#8 Jun 8, 2010
Don't wait too long on your second opinion. I nearly died because I kept putting it off..........
#9 Jun 8, 2010
Don't be so naive.
#10 Jun 8, 2010
i know a young lady that was told that her 10 week old fetus had no heartbeat, was pushed to have a d&c, the Dr there left most of the baby in her womb and the lady was in the hospital 2 times with pelvic infections and had to have an additional operations to fix what the drs at London Womens Care caused. i wouldn't even bring my dog there to have her puppies
#11 Jun 8, 2010
you need to realize that this lady looks at her child and is greatful that he is alive, but what she is saying is that if she listened to the medical advice she was given, the child would not be here today. we go to dr's for proper care and professional advice, not wrong advice and poor care. that's what she is trying to get across, you would be angry too if it happened to you, be honest to yourself
#12 Jun 8, 2010
London Women's Center. I would not let them treat my dog. How many doctor's practice there now? How many are actually board certified????? What is their c-section percentage? Not a great place if you ask me. Go to Corbin or Somerset. And the woman who posted the story of what they did to her, good for you! We need to share these mistakes. Just because this is the only women's care center in London doesn't mean we should settle for them.
#13 Jun 8, 2010
Please get a second opinon! At least you will know for sure before you have surgery that you may or may not need.
#14 Jun 8, 2010
You hit the nail on the the head, sister or brother. why should we settle for London womens Care just because its our only option. We, as educated women should have a CHOICE and be able to CHOOSE who delivers our precious babies. how many women do those so called Drs up there need to damage?
#15 Jun 8, 2010
i started seeing dr. moghe in 2005. since then i have had a daughter which was delivered by her and she always treated me right. i have heard alot about the place and some of the doctors but that the case any where you go.i still go to dr. moghe. she has always seemed concerned.to me she is a good doctor. now on the other hand dr. barton, thats one i would not let touch a dead dog. he has no compassion for his patients. my aunt went to him when she was pregnant & she was having a some problems,he showed her no sympathy or compassion,it was like he didn't care what happened to her or the baby. she changed doctors,to dr. briere, her and the baby turned out fine. so like i said some doctors she have never been allowed in med school but some actually are good doctors. every place has good ones and bad ones....to mommytoabeautifulboy, i'm glad everything turned out okay with you and your child.glad he's healthy.
#16 Jun 8, 2010
Oh, How different we all see things.To each his own. My daughter's baby was delivered by Dr.Barton and we firmly believe our outcome of a healthy happy baby boy would not have been the same had we had anyone else. I can tell you without hesitation he is compassionate, sympathetic, and very caring Doctor who cares always for his patients.She saw Dr. Briere during pregnancy as primary liked him but will always be grateful to Dr.Barton. At times she saw Dr. Moghe never cared for her bedside manner. I have Dr. Briere who at times during different procedures has hurt me painfully, that doesn't make him a bad Doctor, the very procedures are painful. I know I'm a nurse. You should understand that they all have patients who don't do what they are suppose to, follow bad health habits and such I imagine they all can be firm when they have to.
#17 Jun 8, 2010
You do realize that four out of the five doctors who practice there did not go to medical school in this country. At least two of the doctors (Moghe and the other female dr) are not board certified.....that should tell us something......
#18 Jun 8, 2010
And by four out of five doctors, I am talking only about the ob/gyn doctors.
#19 Jun 8, 2010
If it would have not been for Dr.Barton i would probably be dead right now.He went the extra mile and found i had cancer.
#20 Jun 8, 2010
You have every right in the world to see whomever you want to. Just like every other woman. Some of the most prestigious schools in the world are not in this country. Remember America's shame is the fact that we have an infant mortality rate far higher than many other countries and Kentucky is low on the list of quality care for our children.

Press Release from Umeå University
Umeå University inaugurates Sweden's first Arctic Research Centre
[2012-12-04] On 12 December, Umeå University will inaugurate the Arctic Research Centre "Arcum". Now all Arctic countries have such a research centre. World-famous scientists such as Robert W. Corell, who was a climate adviser to Al Gore, are involved in the opening ceremony.
The Arctic is a region with an extremely sensitive climate, where global warming is happening twice as fast as in the rest of the world.
"The Arctic is facing major changes, not only concerning the climate, but also in terms of natural resources, social questions, indigenous peoples, health and culture. Public attention to this important and valuable area is increasing. Umeå University's geographical position and our broad research and education make us well suited to take a national responsibility for the Arctic region. That is why we are establishing Arcum. Our goal is to become Sweden's hub for Arctic research," says Lena Gustafsson, Vice-Chancellor at Umeå University.
The inauguration is well-timed during Sweden's chairmanship of the Arctic Council 2011 – 2013. The seven other Arctic countries have already established Arctic research centres.
"Coordination is necessary to get a better overview of the Arctic research. To gain important knowledge, we must gather researchers from different disciplines, but also from different institutions - both national and international. That is what we hope to stimulate with Arcum," says Peter Sköld, Director of the Arctic Research Centre.
In Sweden, the counties of Västerbotten and Norrbotten are part of the Arctic region, according to the Arctic Council's definition. Research with a connection to the Arctic is conducted in all of Umeå University's academic disciplines: medicine, humanities, social sciences as well as science and technology. They include, for example, research on climate, the indigenous Sámi people, Northern industries, and diseases that are common in the North.
"Arcum's strength is that we have a critical mass of researchers from different disciplines. We will also work actively to attract young scientists and to introduce new disciplines," says Peter Sköld.
Three internationally known scientists are involved in the opening ceremony of Arcum: David Carlson, former International Polar Year Programme Officer, Robert W. Corell, environmental scientist and international authority on climate change, and Kue T. Young, leading researcher within health on indigenous peoples. The director of the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat Björn Dahlbäck and the Sámi youth representative Ylva Maria Pavval will attend as well. Moreover, researchers from Umeå University's four faculties will hold lectures.
Facts on the Arctic
The Arctic has no natural borders, but consists of the sea and land area around the geographic North Pole. About four million people live in the area, which is shared by eight countries: Denmark (with Greenland and the Faroe Islands), Finland, Iceland, Canada, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States (with Alaska). In all countries there is now at least one Arctic research centre.
Inauguration of Arcum
Date: 12 December, 13.00 – 17.00 (1 pm – 5 pm). The best time for interviews is between 11.30 and 12.50.
Place: Umeå Institute of Design, Umeå Arts Campus, Umeå University
