FORT STEWART, Ga. Winn Army Community Hospital has a baby boom it cannot handle.
Mothers and children and strollers pack the pediatrics department, another hassle after long waits for hard-to-get appointments. The problems don't stop there. From gynecology to internal medicine, this hospital on the grounds of Fort Stewart, the biggest Army base in the South, is overwhelmed. Too many patients are demanding too many services from a medical facility with too few doctors and too little space.
Military families complain they can't get in to see a doctor. The hospital's top commander points to a lack of money and staff to meet basic needs. And everyone involved agonizes about whether the problems can be fixed any time soon.
The Army's acting surgeon general says the situation here illustrates the challenge the service faces nationwide in keeping health care promises that were made to soldiers when they enlisted. Months after the problems revealed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center caused a massive shake-up throughout the military's system of care, the service is struggling to find enough doctors and nurses to care for troops and their families.
"If you're sending someone off into harm's way, if you're asking them to do the nation's business, you need to take care of them," says Col. Scott Goodrich, Winn's commander. "Whenever we can't provide the care we need to a soldier, that's very, very painful to me.
The Army operates 36 medical facilities worldwide. For the past two years, more than half have failed to meet Pentagon standards for providing a doctor within seven days for routine medical care. And the Army has been forced to spend more money sending military families to doctors in nearby communities. Payments for outside referrals have jumped from $200 million in 2000 to nearly $1 billion last year, records show. Outpatient care accounts for 70% of those costs.
Here at Fort Stewart, home of the 3rd Infantry Division, Winn Community Hospital is among the worst in terms of access to routine medical care. Other problem facilities, according to Army statistics, include Walter Reed, the Army's premier hospital; Fort Hood, Texas, the Army's largest base; Fort Campbell, Ky., home of the 101st Airborne Division; Fort Jackson, S.C., a training facility; and Fort Riley, Kan., home of the 1st Infantry Division.
Maj. Gen. Gale Pollock, the Army's acting surgeon general, says the Army's entire health system has trouble providing care quickly enough. Pollock visited Fort Stewart in April and calls the situation at Winn "not acceptable."
Goodrich and Pollock say the reasons for the problems include: the demand for doctors in Iraq; a shortage of Reserve caregivers, and a cumbersome government process for hiring civilian replacements.
Such challenges are not solved easily.
The Army has 4,170 doctors, about 180 shy of what it says it needs. Pollock says she hopes the Pentagon's plans to expand the Army to 547,000 members — an increase of 65,000 — will provide the doctors that military families need. Last year, Congress approved paying bonuses up to $400,000 for medical officers with critical wartime specialties if they agree to remain on active duty for four years.
"It takes a while to recruit them, to develop them as professionals," Pollock says. "(But) now that we are growing the Army I'm optimistic I'm going to be allowed to grow the Army medical department staff so that we can start to address some of these issues."
Goodrich points to a more immediate problem: the conflicting demands for limited funds. "(The Pentagon) says you're authorized this many people. It's not enough," Goodrich says of his staffing. "There's only so many dollars. If you've got a war, you need equipment, you need soldiers, you need body armor. If I had more money, I'd buy more doctors."
'It was good, it really was'
Care at Winn was excellent a few years ago, families say. "It was good, it really was," says Gloria Smith, 50, wife of retired Master Sgt. Anthony Smith. "Since the deployment started, everybody is overworked."
Many families share that view:
•Sgt. Joseph Waterman returned from Iraq in October 2005 with ribs and vertebrae broken in a roadside explosion. The hospital did not have enough doctors or therapists to help him.
So each week his wife, Mary, drove him three hours to Augusta, Ga., for therapy at Eisenhower Army Medical Center. That required taking their three children, including two who had to miss school, and paying $69-a-night hotel bills the Army was slow to reimburse.
"It was breaking us," says Mary Waterman, 31. "He was hurt (in Iraq), so I thought they would go out of their way to take care of him."
Early last year, Joseph Waterman's case manager at Winn allowed him to finish his therapy at a private facility in Savannah, Ga., a 45-minute drive from Fort Stewart.
•Warrant Officer Dan Howison and his wife, Kathryn, wanted to have a second child before he went back to war. Kathryn Howison, 29, says the family care doctors at Winn were slow to see her and slow to refer her to the hospital's gynecology department.
"They'd say, 'I'm sorry we don't have any appointments this month, call back next month,' " she says. "And you're like, 'What? You know I have a limited time here where I can try to have this baby. You guys got to get me in there!' "
After nearly a year of delays, Kathryn was sent to a private fertility clinic in Savannah, where hormonal treatments led to conception last year. The Howisons' daughter, Piper, was born last week. Dan Howison will head to Iraq this summer.
•Amy Lambert, 40, a mother of three whose husband is being deployed to Iraq in two to three months, says Winn doesn't have enough staff members to follow up with patients after office visits.
"You have to be the one who pesters them and calls them," she says. "If you say, 'Fine, I'm tired of dealing with this,' that's what they're hoping for."
Patient complaints rise
Linda King, a hospital patient representative since 1990, says there are more complaints than ever. Complaints filed with the hospital hit a record 616 in March, four times as many as March 2006. Three out of four were about access to care or service delays.
Soldiers and families from closed bases have moved to Fort Stewart, adding to the number of those eligible for care at Winn. The potential patient population has swollen 40% to 74,000 since the facility opened in 1983, officials say.
The hospital's emergency room often has only one doctor on duty and strains to handle the demand, receiving 70 to 110 patients per day. Visits jumped to 36,000 last year, up from 30,000 in 2005.
Hospital data show most of those seeking care should not be there in the first place because they are not emergency cases. Seventy-five percent of ER visits in March were for issues such as flu symptoms, chronic pains or prescription fills — matters the hospital's family doctors should handle, but are too busy or short-staffed to take on.
"They (patients) say, 'I've been trying to get an appointment for two weeks and I'm tired of waiting, I just need to see somebody,' " says Maj. Chad Marley, chief of Winn's emergency room. "Although it makes our job difficult at times, I take some pride in the fact that I'm the only place in the hospital that doesn't say, 'No.' "
Carol Reynolds, 39, the wife of a deployed lieutenant colonel, says she had to change her doctor four times in four years. Goodrich says continuity of care at Stewart is "non-existent."
And while out-patient services are strapped for space, in-patient rooms are empty because of the shortage of doctors and nurses. Winn is listed as a 112-bed facility, but it can staff only 91 in a major emergency and 40-45 beds routinely, Goodrich says.
Overall, the hospital's annual budget has nearly doubled since 2001 to $72 million. That's still nearly $10 million shy of expenses.
Reconfiguration and expansion of the hospital could help ease overcrowding and improve access to care, Goodrich says.
A 2006 Winn hospital Master Plan calls for seven new expansion projects to add 45,000 square feet and renovate another 74,500 square feet of space. Only one project has been approved by the Pentagon, however, and it is delayed until 2013, budget records show.
"Build me a bigger hospital, I'll take care of more," Goodrich says.
Hopes for improvement
The situation adds to the stress for family members of soldiers fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan, says Col. Todd Buchs, the Fort Stewart base commander.
"If you look at the average life of a military spouse, it's a stressful life," Buchs says. "You're raising your children with basically a single-parent family. Throw one more stressor on them — being frustrated with the hospital — it just makes your life more frustrating."
One solution would be to send more patients to see doctors in nearby communities.
However, fewer private doctors want to accept military patients. Some doctors shun Tricare, the military insurance program, which pays the same modest rates as Medicare.
Other doctors only accept military patients if they can prescribe whatever medical treatments they deem necessary, which often conflicts with Army physicians who may prefer more limited procedures, Goodrich says.
Goodrich says he believes Winn is about to get better. With much of the 3rd Division gone to Iraq and some new doctors hired, Goodrich says he can improve access to care and take the pressure off the ER.
Buchs says he hopes the changes work. Families "don't expect people to feel sorry for them," he says. "All they want is to be treated with the appropriate care that we can give them because of the sacrifices they are making."

Increasing fears of migration in the UK materialised a few months ago, when a "No Eastern Europeans" sign was placed at the entrance of a fishery in Warwickshire. The owner of a fishing lake, who set up a sign, claims that the people from Eastern Europe are responsible for the fish depletion, as instead of releasing the fish they catch, the Eastern European fishermen apparently ate it. Although the sign has been removed by the local police, the Englishman has not been charged. On the contrary, he and his neighbours claim that the sign and their attitude towards their fellow EU citizens are not racist.
A story of a Warwickshire fishery is just an example of a broader social and political climate in the UK, in
Increasing fears surrounding migration in the UK are rarely far from society's surface, and re-materialised in the public debate a few months ago, after a "No Eastern Europeans" sign was placed at the entrance of a fishery in Warwickshire.
The owner of the fishing lake claimed that people from Eastern Europe were responsible for fish stock depletion in the lake, as instead of releasing the fish they caught, the Eastern European fishermen would apparently eat them. Although the sign has since been removed by the local police, the lake owner has not been charged. On the contrary, he and his neighbours claim that the sign and their attitudes towards their fellow EU citizens were not racist.
The story of one Warwickshire fishery is just an example of a broader social and political climate in the UK, in which prejudices and stereotypes about immigrants are ripe. As the work restriction on Bulgarian and Romanian citizens will be lifted from January 1, 2014, the potential "threat" of new migrants - who happen to be fellow EU citizens - has been overplayed by the politicians and the media. Polls indicate that the number of those who see immigration as "very bad" has increased from 11 percent to 21 percent in the past 10 years, possibly as a result of the frequent targeting of immigration policies by political groups across the spectrum.
British officials commissioned a report from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, which was entitled "Potential impacts on the UK of future migration from Bulgaria and Romania". According to the report, it is not possible to predict the number of those expected to arrive to the UK over the next year. Facing a potential increase in the migrant population, UK government has revealed its plans to cut health and housing benefits, in an attempt to prevent the "abuse of the system" by foreigners and to remove the supposed incentives for migrants.
At the opening of parliament, the Queen spoke of a desire to curb migration and impose NHS contributions and additional checks on migrants in the UK. Prime Minister David Cameron added that immigrants could "no longer come here and expect something for nothing".
But, in spite of the negative political and media portrayal of Eastern Europeans, the report indicates that these migrants claim benefits less than other migrant groups, and even less than those born in Britain. It is rarely mentioned that majority of the immigrants who come to the UK, and the other EU states, move in order to work, not to claim benefits. In fact, the National Institute for Economic and Social Research estimates that some 700,000 people have moved to the UK since 2004 and have contributed about 5bn pounds ($7.5bn) to the UK GDP. Indeed, net migration to the UK has fallen by a third in the past year, according to statistics released on Thursday by the Office for National Statistics.
Yet, Migration Watch UK claims that migrants' contribution to the economy, compared with their use of social services, is not enough to justify their presence in the UK.
As I followed the debates around migration and UK attitudes towards foreigners, I wondered how immigration could be the most important question in the country, considering the numerous economic and social issues. After all, every homeless person I have met here on the streets of Oxford has been British-born, not African, Asian or Eastern European. It has been suggested that the government is using the issues of migration and continuing economic crisis in order to pursue some of its more conservative policies. Labour leader Ed Miliband said that tackling migration would not impact the real issues in the UK, such as economic growth or unemployment.
But, the real question should not be whether the migrants contribute to the economy or not, or how big of an issue migration really is in the country. What concerns me is that very few media outlets or politicians have commented on the human rights implications of these discussions. The attitudes toward Eastern Europeans and the debate around migration in the UK did not even cause a stir among the European organisations which are so keen on publicising human rights violations outside of the Union.
Portraying Eastern Europeans as criminals and barbarians surely constitutes hate-speech and discrimination, something prohibited not only by UK laws, but also by the EU Charter on Fundamental Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights, which should apply equally to all member states and people, regardless of their place of birth or its GDP. The fact that the UK has yet to sign or ratify Protocol 12 to the convention, which deals with discrimination, should not absolve it of its moral responsibility.
Having a "No Eastern Europeans" sign in the UK is not only xenophobic - it dangerously resembles "No Jews", "No Arabs" and "No Blacks" slogans, used by nationalists in days thought long past. Although the sign in Warwickshire has been removed, the feelings of intense dislike, mistrust and stereotypes towards "others" remain.

33 year old man | Country Club Hills, IL, USA | Seeking women 21-32 within 15 miles
The journey is just as important as the destination
Hi ladies, well this is the many sides of me.... I'm a bold and active guy with a playful sense of humor. You're not Willy Wonka, so don't sugar coat it and neither will I. I'm also well know for encouraging others to act on their dreams (rather than following others who did). I choose to live life motivated and whole hearted. My motto is "Roll with the ups and downs of life, chances are it is what it is, so fear nothing". I do like to think of myself as romantic, optimistic, driven and sophisticated. Definitely know how to appreciate the finer things as well as the simple pleasures. I truly enjoy being out doors and active let it be swimming, hiking, dancing, etc. I guess I like to keep moving so that I never get bored. Do you ever feel that way? Traveling anywhere to try anything new has always been a very large part of my life. I'm ready for an adventure into the unexpected, how about you? I also cook quite well. I've come to believe that it's not what you do in life, but rather how and whom you do it with. I'm not trying to change my life, just make it a bit more interesting by finding a partner to collaborate with. My passion for the more exotic side of life has me learning to speak French as a second language. And I would love to learn Italian, Spanish, or Japanese from any willing tutors. Being an extremely attentive person, I'm happiest when those around me are enjoying themselves. And lastly I'm also an open and honest person about who I am and what I want out of life, so please feel free to ask me anything. I'm looking to start a relationship, slow at first but with room to grow. And my match would have a zest for living life to the fullest and a health appetite for exploration. She is intelligent, feisty, and has a quirky sense humor. She's should never be afraid to be her own unique person, confident in her own skin, personality, and abilities. We would be able to go and do anything spontaneously, from sky diving, to formal parties, to road tripping. Both she and I would love to socialize, all while spending quality time together.

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
I love all pets but don't have any right now. I used to own fish, but can't wait to have a dog and/or rabbits.
Being out and around the city is my favorite destination. Bars, shops, museums, and parks are great for hanging out. Especially in other locals, like Vegas, L.A., the N.Y.C, New Orleans.
Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Carbondale, IL
I love loud bright colors, being outdoors, travel, music, dancing, art, swimming, and foreign foods. To save time I'll just say I have a love for the exotic.
The more activities and movement the better; Listening to music, dancing, and shooting pool are my favorites. I also like seeing movies and great conversation.
The last good book I read was a Jack Reacher novel. I like Dean Koontz, James Patterson, and Frank Miller. However what I read more than anything else is magazines and thriller novels.

The Milwaukee Brewers finished 11th in a Harris Poll that asked respondents to name their favorite Major League Baseball team.
The poll was conducted from June 14-21 among 2,227 adults in the U.S.
In 2009, when the same poll was conducted, the Brewers finished 14th, so they have moved up three spots. When the poll was conducted in 1999, the Brewers ranked 21st.
Just as they have been since 2006, the Yankees were America's favorite team. The Red Sox were second, followed by the Braves, Phillies, Cubs, Mets, Giants, Dodgers, Twins and Cardinals.
The Blue Jays finished last at No. 30, but the survey did not include Canadian respondents.
The Florida Marlins finished 29th.
Lumber slumber
Brewers batters have not fared well in the All-Star Game, and Ryan Braun and Corey Hart continued that tradition Tuesday night when each of them when 0 for 2.
From 1969 to 2010, Brewers batters have gone 9 for 68 in the All-Star Game for a .132 average.
No Brewers batter has ever had two hits in a single All-Star Game. New York Mets third baseman David Wright was the only player in Tuesday's game to have two hits.
Prince Fielder, Jeromy Burnitz, Fernando Viña, Greg Vaughn, Paul Molitor, Cecil Cooper (2), Ted Simmons and Larry Hisle are the only players in Brewers history to get a hit in an All-Star Game.
Game's rating down
The rating for the All-Star Game telecast in the Milwaukee market was down 37% compared to last year.
Tuesday's game on WITI-TV (Channel 6) had an 11.3 rating or 101,903 households. Last year's game had a 17.9 rating or 162,057 households. Tuesday's rating was the lowest in the Milwaukee market since 2005, when the game had a 9.9 rating on Channel 6.
Nationally, the 7.5 preliminary rating for the game was the lowest in the event's history. The previous low was an 8.1 rating for the 2005 All-Star Game.
St. Louis led all local markets for this year's game with a 20.5 rating.
The Home Run Derby Monday night on ESPN had a 4.0 national rating or 6.4 million viewers. The rating for the event was down more than 21% from last year's telecast and the lowest since 2003.
In the Milwaukee market, the Derby had an 8.6 rating, third-highest among 56 metered markets. St. Louis had the highest rating for the show (10.4), followed by Boston (9.5). David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox won the competition.
Can you hear me now?
In a press call last week in advance of the All-Star Game, Commissioner Bud Selig was asked about how committed he was to the policy of linking the outcome of the All-Star Game to home-field advantage in the World Series.
Because the NL won the game Tuesday, whatever NL team advances to the World Series this season will have home-field advantage.
A reporter told Selig that "a lot of players have expressed reservations" about the policy, to which Selig responded that he and other baseball officials "hadn't heard from any players" who objected to the policy.
Well, given what the players' union executive director told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday, Selig has heard now.
Union chief Michael Weiner said there is a "strong sentiment" among players in the union that home-field advantage in the World Series should be determined by regular-season record. Weiner said players "never embraced the concept" of giving home-field advantage to the winner of the All-Star Game.
One greatest hits list
The unsentimental cast over at Cold, Hard Football Facts contends that the late Don Coryell of the San Diego Chargers is not deserving of election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Instead, they nominated him for pro football's "Hall of Very Good." Coryell died July 1 at the age of 85.
Here, according to the Cold crowd, are the 10 greatest coaches in pro football history:
1. Paul Brown; 2. Vince Lombardi; 3. George Halas; 4. Tom Landry; 5. Curly Lambeau; 6. Chuck Noll; 7. Bill Walsh; 8. Don Shula; 9. Bill Belichick; 10. JoeGibbs.
The complete explanation for their choices and the order of those choices are posted at www.coldhardfootballfacts.com.

"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
Here's the question I posted on the #MeetBryan thread on FB:
Apparently he's going to actually answer some of the questions. We'll see whether mine gets picked.What are your thoughts on "advanced" statistical analysis? How do you envision integrating it into your job as a major league manager?
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
joshua (10-23-2013)
What was you thinking? He comes a dismal seasonHey Bryan, as you were watching the one game playoff with Pittsburgh, Did it occur to you to have started someone else besides Cueto?pitching sucked ,what make you think you can run the whole teamWhy he accepted a job he new he wasn't good enough for #meetbryan #boycotWhy is the front office stupid enough to hire you as manager?Make Chatman a starting pitcher !
Cincinnati Reds I am extremely disappointed with your censorship. As a devoted Red's fan I would like to know why Bryan thinks he can manage a major league club, when he has never managed previously. This is a legitimate question that any true Red's fan would like to have answered. I pay a handsome sum of money every year on Red's tickets and merchandise and quite frankly Bryan's reply can and will, affect my decisions going into 2014. You can better believe that a Red's beat writer will ask Bryan this same question. And rightfully so.Why weren't you fired also?!!!!
Now these two actually made me laugh unironically
What kind of sandwich are you going to make after you fire Brook Jacoby?Can you get Skyline to start selling 3 way chili plates and not just coneys?
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

This made me laugh and was an oasis in an ocean of idiocy. "DONT TRADE BP HES THE HART AND SOLE OF THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"How do you get Reds fans to have a minimal amount of real baseball knowledge? Good luck Bryan Price, hope you have a thick skin.
Wonderful Monds (10-23-2013)
Here is my question:
Bryan - you used the term "statistical analysis" in your opening press conference. Using advanced stats would you say that the combined IQ of the people posting questions on this Facebook page is higher or lower than 38 (your uniform number)? I think lower but I will hang up and await your answer

More than any other question, this is the one I want him to answer.If you could talk to Bo Diaz, what would you say to him? #RIPBODIAZ
If he hasn't thought long and hard for days on end about what he'd say to Bo Diaz, then he has no business being manager.

In present day England, a war is being fought. The average citizen does not notice, but vampires are running rampant among the populace, and it's up to the Hellsing organization to contain the bloodsucker threat, using even their own weapons against them. Alucard, a vampire himself, is the best agent the organization has to offer, answering only to Integra Hellsing herself. No one knows much about this mysterious figure fighting against the occult, but things starts to change after he "recruits" a new agent to the establishment...

As the years pass I find myself continually amazed with every Gonzo production I stumble upon. Either they will pump out pseudo-quality series like Last Exile or downright trash like Vandread, but rarely do they get it at least somewhat right as with Hellsing. Right in this case, though, happens to have nothing to do with a substantive plot, great animation, a solid soundtrack, or good... read more
I think that this is a fairly good anime. It has a fairly good story line to it. Sometimes I wish that they would go into a little more detail with the story line but it is still fairly good as it is. The animation in this anime I think needs some work in some areas like with some of the character details needs some more details to them.

Unexplained Experiences You Remember As A Child
Poster Handle
Post Content
When I was 4 years old two girls who looked to be in their teens came to the door and asked my mother if they could take me for a walk. We didn't know these girls, but my mom said I could. This part is strange enough, as my mom was very over protective and this was not something she would have done.
We walked down my street and they forced me to eat some grass. I began crying and begging them to take me home. My next memory is of being inside a dimly lit buildiing. It had the appearance of a doctor's office, but I can't say for sure. There was a person there that I thought was a doctor, but I only remember the back of his bald head. I don't remember entering or leaving the building, nor do I remember what happened inside the building. At the time, I thought the building was at the end of our dead end street, but there never was a building there.
I was shaking and crying as the two girls walked me home. They walked me up to my front porch and left. I ran in the house crying and my nose was bleeding. I told my mom and dad what happened and they didn't have much of a reaction. Again, this was not normal behavior for my parents. I was hysterical and asked my dad if he would go get the boy who lived down the street. He was 8 years old, and always looked out for me. He used to tell my mom he was going to marry me someday. I wouldn't calm down, so my dad walked down the road and got him for me. He comforted me while my parents behaved like spaced out zombies. (They were not on drugs)
I talked about this incident every day for awhile, but my parents have no memories of it. To this day my mom doesn't remember this, but she does remember me talking about it a lot . She says she remembers me running into a grocery cart at the store and I got a bloody nose, but doesn't remember this. I remember it vividly, as if it happened yesterday. I was traumatized by it for a quite some time.
The whole thing is so bizarre and makes no sense, but that's what happened and I'll never forget it.
Anonymous Coward 27666882
I often wonder why strange things like this happen to us as a child. Things that are totally unexplainable.

1991 Ford Taurus Q&A
1991 Ford Taurus Question: Cooling fan not running, spins freely by hand.
Wiring appears to have overheated, insulation melted/deteriorated, Black/Orange wire from motor not connected to anything (end stripped and bare, appears to have been connected at one time). (1) What does this wire connect to? and (2) What is probable cause of wire overheating. - Bruce Harper
Answer 1
To address your wire question - the cooling fan motor has two wires going to it - Dark Blue and Black. The black/orange wire comes out of the engine compartment fuse box, and goes to a splice - with two wires going into the IRCM (Integrated Relay Control Module), and one wire going into the fan resistor. You probably need to assess the damage and repair all wiring, then probably have to replace the cooling fan motor, as it likely overheated. - DaveJHM

Traders Have Been Tempted Before
The Societe Generale banking scandal joins a long list of rogue trading cases, from Baring Banks' Nick Leeson in the mid-'90s to a $750 million theft in 2002 by a trader at Ireland's largest bank.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
And our last word in business is bank fraud. In honor of the big French bank fraud case, we look at some other famous rogue trades.
In 2002, a trader at Ireland's largest bank stole $750 million from his firm to pad his salary, though that's almost too small to count compared to some other cases. An executive in Japan's Daiwa Bank racked up $1.1 billion from unauthorized trades in 1995. And then there's the trader at the hedge fund Amaranth, whose shady deals in natural gas contracts in 2006 cost the firm $6.4 billion. The fund folded.

Article: Sequential genetic modification of the hprt locus in human ESCs combining gene targeting and recombinase-mediated cassette exchange.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Genetic modification of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) will be an essential tool to allow full exploitation of these cells in regenerative medicine and in the study of hESC biology. Here we report multiple sequential modifications of an endogenous gene (hprt) in hESCs. A selectable marker flanked by heterospecific lox sites was first introduced by homologous recombination (HR) into the hprt gene. In a subsequent step, exchange of the selectable marker with another cassette was achieved by recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE). We show that 100% of the recovered clones were the result of RMCE using a promoter trap strategy at the hprt locus. hprt-targeted H1 cells maintained a diploid karyotype and expressed hESC surface markers before and after RMCE. Finally, we report a double replacement strategy using two sequential gene targeting steps resulting in the targeted correction of an hprt-mutated hESC line.Cloning and Stem Cells 07/2008; 10(2):217-30.

Article: Multipotentiality of neuronal cells after spontaneous fusion with embryonic stem cells and nuclear reprogramming in vitro[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Primary mouse brain cells were cultured with HPRT (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase)-deficient ES (embryonic stem) cells to see if the ES cells could provide cues sufficient to reprogram a pluripotential state. After 5 days of coculture, HPRT-deficient ES cells were killed by selection in HAT (hypoxanthine, aminopterin, thymidine) medium. We observed islands of HAT-resistant ES-like cells surrounded by differentiated cells. Cell lines generated from three such "islands" proved to be spontaneous, pluripotential ES-neural hybrids, and gave rise to a chimera following blastocyst injection. Re-expression of the ES-specific gene Foxd3 from somatic-derived chromosomes suggested that the somatic nucleus had been reprogrammed. Our results raise the intriguing possibility that ASCs shown to contribute to multiple tissues in blastocyst-injection studies may not contribute as a result of pluripotency. Instead contributions may arise from spontaneous fusion events in which phenotype is determined by either cytoplasmic dominance, nuclear reprogramming, or both.Cloning and Stem Cells 02/2002; 4(4):331-8.
