Mazda Ignition Recall, Temple Football 7 - 0, Princeton Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

Mazda says it is recalling 4.9 million older vehicles worldwide, including 1.36 million in the U.S., because ignition switches could overheat and catch fire. The U.S. recall covers the 1990-1996 323 and Protege, the 1993-1998 626, the 1993-1995 929, the 1993-1997 MX-6, the 1989 to 1998 MPV and the 1992-1993 MX-3. Mazda says it put too much grease on electrical contact points in the switches when the cars were manufactured. The grease can carbonize and reduce electrical insulation. The company says continuous use can cause electricity to flow between the points and make the switches overheat. That can cause smoke and possible fire. Mazda says the problem doesnâ€™t affect the carsâ€™ operation or safety devices. It says there havenâ€™t been any fires, crashes or injuries in the U.S., and the problem doesnâ€™t happen when the car is turned off. Globally there have been 13 fires in the Mazdas, but no injuries. Dealers will replace the ignition switches starting in December.

Temple University football , now 7 â€“ 0 for the first time, after beating East Carolina last night 24 â€“ 14. The team has never been more exciting to follow than through the eyes of their alumni and die hard fans. While more than 50 years have passed, veteran players still see themselves on the field. Seventy-six-year-old John McShane started as a quarterback in 1959. But by the time he graduated in 1962 he played nearly every position on the field and still has the paper clippings to show it. Heâ€™s been a season ticket holder since 1970 and nearly every away game is spent with his old buddies and teammates at PJâ€™s in Blue Bell. The latest AP poll has the Temple Owls ranked number 22 nationwide. Up next for them is Notre Dame at the Linc a week from Saturday â€” a game their faithful alumni wonâ€™t be missing.

Princeton University officials say 19 students have been seen for hand, foot and mouth disease at the schoolâ€™s health center since Sept. 17. The contagious viral illness often causes painful sores inside the mouth as well as a skin rash on a personâ€™s hands or feet. Its most commonly seen in children younger than age five. More information about the disease is available on the CDC website : http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth
