CIPE and Atlas Corps have jointly launched the new Think Tank LINKS (Leaders, Innovators, and Knowledge Sharing) Fellowship. This innovative, all-expenses paid program is an opportunity for talented young professionals from developing countries with strong research backgrounds to shadow leading U.S. think tanks for six months. In addition, Fellows will be enrolled in a professional development training program and join a growing network of nonprofit leaders from around the world.
Fellows will be based at leading think tanks in Washington, DC area for six months (January through July). They will serve 40 hours per week at their host think tanks, focused on a mutually agreed-upon research topic that relates to democratic and/or economic reforms. Fellows are expected to publish their research during the program through articles, blogs, and presentations.
CIPE and Atlas Corps will provide Fellows with logistical support regarding visa, health insurance, stipend, and international travel. Fellows will also receive a monthly living stipend that covers basic housing, food, and transportation for one person.
If selected as a Fellow, you are responsible for the following pre-departure logistics.
Selected candidates are expected to pay for their travel to the U.S. Embassy and pay the initial visa expenses. If the visa is approved, CIPE and Atlas Corps will reimburse your visa fees, but not the travel to the Embassy.
Fellows are required to contribute a $250 participation fee. If a Fellow ends the program in good standing, they will receive a $500 end of service award. The end of service award is given for successfully fulfilling the responsibilities and expectations of being a Think Tank LINKS Fellow. There is no cost to apply to be a Fellow. The $250 participation fee will only be collected from applicants who are matched with an organization and accepted as a Think Tank LINKS Fellow.
Applications are due August 15. Fellows will be selected by October. The program begins in January and completes in July. Space is limited, apply early!
CIPE and Atlas Corps are looking for qualified candidates who have:
After the initial screening by CIPE and Atlas Corps, top applicants will be interviewed and selected by the respective Host Organization's staff. Preference will be given to non-OECD applicants.

I decided to try this game again only because some friends are playing again and I like playing with these guys so much that I'm in.
I'm actually really enjoying the game right now. I know most people are very vocal about how much they dislike this game, myself included, but here are the things I noticed and how I am playing, which I think is the main factor in my enjoyment of the game.
Well the server I'm on is full now. This was a huge reason I left, the last server I played on was a ghost town. Mergers helped out a lot and I guess F2P too.
I'm soloing some of my story line and that's it! Like I said, I have a great static group and it is probably %80 of why I am having a good time. We unlock all the group quests on each planet and then run flashpoints and pvp. We do some solo quests here and there to unlock stuff, but we do as much group content as possible, and keep up our story. We do have to run some flashpoints maybe twice, but that's not that much of a problem.
The thing I noticed that still bugs me is the layout of the zones. This still feels, stuffy, enclosed, I have always struggled to describe exactly what it is about them, but a big part of it is that we are so damn isolated from the other faction. I love PVP in this game. I know there are some balance issues right now, but it's still fun. This has always been one of the things that kept me playing. I don't always like PVP in games, but in this one, it's fun. I just wish I would run into more of the opposite faction out in the world.
Space combat probably still sucks, but the good part is that I don't know because I have't had a reason to try it again.
The group content in this game is fun. The story has always been decent if not good. It's certainly not my favorite type of design for an MMO, but I'm better with it now that I've gotten over my initial disapointment.

I came back to give it another shot,Dec 5th till today today I decided to remove it again from my HD. I have 2 50's sith and smuggler, and 5 others been working on a BH who is a 44 but so much frustration in the game, mission bugs if you get caught up in a mission only remedy is to use your fleet pass and then reset, u cant do it in a mission (class) Lagg is still a issue, I have a good connection with DSL but when population is somewhat heavy 50-100 in an area my character literally stops wont move for several seconds. I could provide a long negative list but I am sure some of these issue you may or may not have. End game is nothing but a repetitive missions grinding for medals etc and for what? When I read the state of the game it turned me off improvements ?? its just isn't worth my time to bother with it anymore I am offically done with it and its time to move on to something else. At this momnet in time I really dont see much maybe Archmage or Pathfinder time will tell.

if you stick with a group of friends and have a good time that's all that matters.
swtor was never meant as a open world pvp game unfortunately , just wasn't implemented correctly :( I feel you on that level. Warzones are addictive and fun though and if you have a group of friends you'll enjoy them even more.
im not into flashpoints or raids as much as i was when i was younger kid. most of the game is centered around this at level 50 so if you enjoy it you'll enjoy endgame.
If you are not level 50 PvP is quite decent.
But i must warn you, when you hit 50 its 180 degrees turn, game has huge balance issues that only became worse after each patch. If you dont play one of the select classes you prepare to be roflstomped (smashers FTW).

I really like pvp before 50 in SWToR. Most of the Warzones are quite a bit of fun. At 50, you tend to see more gear differences than before. You can also run into well coordinated groups while pugging quite a bit at 50 as well. Now, evenly matched teams at 50 can be fun.

I've been a big nay sayer since I quit playing about a month after launch. I started playing again about a week ago because a friend talked me into it. I am enjoying the for the most part, but I can't help but keep a running list of things that I am disappointed about. I also can't help but keep in mind that it is a game that will never grow into anything and it will basically limp along. I am having fun for now, but those things weigh on my mind.

Cure a Tickling Throat
When you were 9, playing your armpit was a cool trick. Now, as an adult, you can still appreciate a good body-based feat, especially if it serves as a health remedy. Take that tickle in your throat: It's not worth gagging over. Here's a better way to scratch your itch: Scratch your ear. "When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm," says Scott Schaffer, M.D., president of an ear, nose, and throat specialty center in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. "This spasm relieves the tickle."

Gov. Jerry Brown isn't ready to jump on the bandwagon to delay the cancellation of hundreds of thousands of Californians' individual health care plans... but he doesn't seem ready to simply leave those folks hanging, either.
"We're following our own path," said Brown on Tuesday when asked whether he supports President Obama's plan for a one year delay on cancelling plans that aren't compliant with the Affordable Care Act.
The governor, appearing at a Sacramento event to promote vision care for low-income kids, suggested state officials will seek some kind of middle ground when they convene later this week.
"We're going to be very careful to both be sensitive to all the potential customers," said Brown, "and also the financial viability going forward, so the rates are attractive not just for this year but for many years to come."
Perhaps as many as one quarter of the Californians facing cancellation of their individual plan by year's end have now been told they can extend that plan through the end of March. Last week, state insurance commissioner Dave Jones announced agreements with both Anthem and Blue Shield to give those consumers extra time -- though state officials pointed out some of those people could be forced to restart their coverage in the spring with no credit for paid premiums or expenses towards their deductible.
The state's health insurance exchange, Covered California, earlier insisted that those non-compliant plans need to be eliminated by Jan. 1 in order to ensure a 'level playing field' in which the state's pool of insurance consumers would be large enough to balance out the costs associated with guaranteed coverage.
"We will respond to this particular cancellation issue in a way that we think takes in all the factors and helps build the program for the future," said the governor on Tuesday.
California's decision on whether to allow some consumers to, in essence, opt out of the Affordable Care Act for 2014 will be closely watched elsewhere. The state has been the most aggressive in the nation when it comes to making the health care transition, and is home to the single largest group of uninsured Americans.

Gear Review
Patrick Mason
Great Knife Cheaper at Wal-Mart or Amazon
I carry this knife every single day, and have for about 5 months. I use it probably 100 times a day (I work in a warehouse) It holds and edge even through tape, cardboard and even the occasional METAL strap. I can easily open and close it with one hand. Only con is that every 3 or 4 weeks I need to tighten up all the screws as it gets a bit wobbly, and the clip starts to loosen, but if you just do that whenever you sharpen it it works out fine.
Unlike a few people I have NEVER had this knife unintentionally open. That being said I always put the switch to the lock position before returning it to my pocket.

By a vote of 73-23, the United States Senate voted to extend for five years the FISA Amendments authorizing the warrantless wiretapping of domestic communications.
"Christmas is not more important than this legislation." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) actually said that with regard to his effort to begin debate on the Senate's renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
If you ride public transportation, watch what you say. In city after city, transit authorities are installing sophisticated surveillance equipment to record every word spoken by riders.

In an article posted by Libertarian-minded Judge Andrew Napolitano on LewRockwell.com on Thursday, Napolitano asserts that government spying has gotten out of control. According to Napolitano, both the Democratic and Republican Parties have justified the process of spying on American citizens and the violation of constitutional rights in the process, always under the guise of security, and in doing so, have violated their oaths to uphold the Constitution.
NSA whistleblower William Binney says the FBI's probe into General David Petraeus indicates that "every American is under surveillance."
The Alameda County, California sheriff's office has been forced to suspend the purchase of a surveillance drone after constitutionalists and activists slammed the agency with concerns that the use of the unmanned aerial vehicle would violate privacy protections.
The sheriff's office had asked the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to approve a $31,646 grant to purchase a drone. The money was part of a $1.2-million grant handed out by the California Emergency Management Agency.
Soon, thousands of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) unmanned aerial vehicle license holders will launch their drones into the skies over the United States. Despite the delay of lawmakers to establish constitutionally sound guidelines for the use of these eyes in the sky, a handful of congressmen are pushing to move forward the date of deployment.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has before it a bill that proponents hope will not only increase protection of personal privacy, but will also bring some order and consistency to a conflicting patchwork of laws and judicial decisions about the government's reach into personal data stored in electronic records.

Book of Wisdoms – Shaykh Nuh HM Keller
Book of Wisdoms al-Hikam al-Ata'iyyaby Nuh Ha Mim Keller
Infinitude is the native land from whence Allah has created the soul, then summoned it again upon the tongue of His messengers (Allah bless them and give them peace) from its exile. This is the first of a series of articles the interpreter has been asked to write on "traditional Islamic spirituality," a science that deals with answering this summons, lifting the heart from the narrowness of the self to the limitlessness of the knowledge and love of the Divine.
People have spoken and written much about Sufism, as the discipline is known, but these articles shall endeavor to understand it in its own context by translating, Allah willing, Ibn Ata' Illahs famous Book of Wisdoms (al-Hikam al-Ata'iyya), a classical manual of spiritual development, together with some commentary on it. One either has a tariqa and a sheikh or one does not, and Ibn Ata' Illah is writing without apology for those who do, although the insights he raises may interest many others.
The interpreter conveys this knowledge by the authorization of Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri, from Muhammad Said al-Kurdi, from Muhammad al-Hashimi, from Ahmad al-Alawi, from Muhammad al-Buzidi, from Muhammad Qaddur al-Wakili, from Abu Yaza al-Mahaji and Muhammad ibn Abd al-Qadir, from al-Arabi al-Darqawi, from Ali al-Jamal, from al-Arabi ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Abdullah, from Qasim al-Khassasi, from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, from Abd al-Rahman al-Fasi, from Yusuf al-Fasi, from Abd al-Rahman al-Majdhub, from Ali al-Sanhaji al-Dawwar, from Ibrahim al-Fahham, from Ahmad Zarruq, from Ahmad al-Hadrami, from Yahya al-Qadiri, from Ali ibn Wafa, from Muhammad Wafa Bahr al-Safa, from Dawud al-Bakhili, from Ibn Ata' Illah al-Iskandari the author of the work (Allah be well pleased with them all of them), who says:
1. One of the signs of relying on deeds is loss of hope when a misstep occurs.
The sheikh begins his book with this key aphorism because it is of the adab or "proper way" of travelling the spiritual path to focus upon tawhid or the "Divine Oneness," in this context meaning to rely upon Allah, not on works, since
"Allah created you and that which you do" (Quran 37:96).
The method of the spiritual ascent is threefold, consisting of knowledge (ilm), practice (amal), and the resultant state (hal) bestowed by Allah. Knowledge here means everything conveyed to us by the Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), which is the content of the Sacred Law or sharia. The practice of this knowledge, inwardly and outwardly, with heart and limbs, is the spiritual path or tariqa. The resultant state, Allahs drawing near to the heart that thus draws near to Him, is the dawning of the Divine Presence upon the soul, termed by Sufis "ultimate reality" or haqiqa.
Ibn Ata' Illah, as a spiritual guide, is concerned in this work with the second moment of this ascent, that of way and works, so begins his book by letting the traveller know that the matter of his spiritual progress is in Allahs hands alone. Discouragement at the inevitable mistakes one makes in the path is a sign of relying on ones deeds rather than on Allah.
Works, whether prayer, or the dhikr or "remembrance" of Allah, or fasting, or jihad, do not cause one to reach the end of the path, but are merely proper manners before the majesty of the Divine while on it. Just as putting ones net in the sea does not produce fish, though one must keep it there so that if Allah sends fish they can be caughtso too works are a net, and their spiritual outcomes are from Allah. Abu Hurayra (Allah be well pleased with him) heard the Holy Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) say:
"None of you shall be saved by his works." A man said, "Not even you yourself, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Not even me myself, unless Allah envelopes me in mercy from Him. But aim to do right" (Muslim, 4.2169: 2816).
Imam Nawawi comments:
The outward purport of these hadiths [n: of which Muslim relates several] bears out the position of those who are in the right, that no one deserves reward and paradise for his acts of obedience. As for the words of Allah Most High
"Enter paradise for that which you have done" (Quran 16:32),
"That is paradise, which you have been bequeathed for what you used to do" (Quran 7:43),

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Sound off
Vaccines and Autism!
I started my iReportings back in 2006/2007. And have been trying to tell you about this for a very long time, Some people have read my work before and others are only learning of this stuff right here and now.
I discovered that I have an autism spectrum disorder, it was called Aspergers syndrome and has been reclassfied in a group called PDD, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder.
Back in 2005 I learned that I've had an allergy to all the artificial colors, flavors and preservatives used in all the foods, beverages, drugs and pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, toiletries and even heavily dyed clothing like denim (I think I remember that it's Blue Dye #2)
I can't take a regular aspirin, or Excedrin, Tylenol, You name it and I can not and will not take it! Frankly things are so bad that if I am dying, unless they can give me dye and additive free medications, I will totally refuse them.
This is because of everything that I have been through for my entire life!
Learning disabilities, behavioral disorders, everything!
I woke up in 2007, Meaning that in 2007 I had been away from the additives enough that I started making eye contact with people and have been improving all the time.
The reason this worked for me is because the additives that caused the swelling of my brain stem was now gone and the intracranial pressure was relieved and was no longer causing the conditions that created my autism spectrum disorder.
Through all of my experiences and what I've learned I can say that autism can't be cured, but it can be stopped. And the important thing to remember is that it isn't only the food that must be changed. You have to get away from all the chemical additives which means everything that contains the FD&C Food, Drug and Cosmetic dyes and the D&C (drugs and cosmetics only). everything, shampoos, soaps, everything you use must be dye and additive free.
I say everything must be dye and chemical free because if I am exposed accidentally to any additives the migraine headache starts and the disorders return with a sort of immediacy that is quite disturbing especially when it can takes, or weeks to purge the toxins from your body.
When all the additives are gone the intracranial pressure causing the pressure against the delicate tissues of the brain, once they are gone the brain should return to it's normal, not normal like it should have been before the autism, But it should return to a normal state where the pathways through which the electrical impulses of the brain will go the way they are supposed to go, They could not make the journey from one hemisphere to the other.
The Corpus Callosum is a sort of piece of tissue that rests between the two halves of the brain and when the brain stem swells it's like parking a car on top of a garden hose, it's not gonna flow!
The tissue gets pinched or squished by the swollen brain stem which is centered in the middle of the brain and the swelling of the brain stem while it pushes in all directions causing a variety of problems, primarily creating conditions that hinder the functionality of the brain with physical pressure from both the swollen brain stem but also the intracranial pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid that stops flowing because of tubes like the cisterna magna being pinched and, or blocked by the swelling of the brain stem.
For me the ICP was indicated by tinnittus (ringing in my ears) and a physical pressure I felt from behind my eyes. I was also very much... emotionally inept, my relationships, jobs, marriages all suffered and I always felt awkward in social situations. My job history was a joke, What kind of tenure can you build when you work at a place for 6 months, or less? 50+ jobs in I don't know how many years.
I was always hiding out inside rather than going out with people, I would try to hang out with my friends but more often than not I was leaving early for one reason, or another. It's much worse now with my self imposed dietary restrictions, I don't want to offend someone by refusing their food, so It's better for to not go at all.
With very few people taking this as seriously I have no choice but to tend to my own needs and pass on any invitations from anyone and everyone... including my mom!
I've told her all about this stuff but it's difficult for her to read all the labels so she sometimes overlooks some things and I can't take any chances so I wont even eat her food anymore. Unless I oversee the preparation and witness what goes into everything!
If the government would get off their butts and ban all the additives then we wouldn't have to work to eliminate any additives if they're not being used!
Vaccines do the same thing as the artificial additives but only stronger and more direct. The vaccines go right into the blood stream and they have a direct route to the brain and cause an immediate shock to the system unlike the additives consumed on a daily basis.
There are several ways that autism occurs and each has it's own variants, the vaccines trigger autism with children who have the pre-existing condition of behavioral disorders caused by the consumed additives. The autism from the womb is a result of the toxic food additives and the additives in cosmetics and toiletries and clothing (dyes only in clothes) Full blown autism is a collection of every behavioral disorder and a sort of vacancy of the emotional side of victims.
It's like something has severed certain parts of the brain, especially those having to do with emotions, emotional responses and certain cognative abilities that just seem to be gone, or just not there. It's not a "the lights are no but nobody's home" situation... They are home, they are in there, they just cant get out to reach you and you can't reach them.
What you experience and think of as rage isn't rage, it's an extreme frustration from not being able to say what you want to say.
It's like the stories about the drug induced thing when you're wide awake but can't move speak, or even twitch an eye. You think your child isn't there, but he/she is very much there.
It's troublesome to think that doctors give these kids more medications to help them not knowing that they are giving them more of what is causing to be autistic.
that really bothers me and I wish people would listen and hear me, but most don't see past their own thoughts.
All of this can be stopped, They started it, they can also stop it, but we need to make them do it.
What do you think of this story?

http://travel.state.gov, added several new states to the last warning issued in September 2010. The headline already making the rounds is that the "US Has Added Five Mexican States" to the travel warning, including Jalisco. While this is literally correct, it does not state the specific areas involved, and is very misleading.
Kelly Trainor, US Consul based in Nuevo Vallarta, confirmed this personally to Casa Cupula in her own words: "...there are no specific warnings for the Municipality of Puerto Vallarta or Riviera Nayarit."
Here is the text of the entire detail section on the Jalisco warning:
Nayarit and Jalisco: Official U.S. government employees are prohibited from traveling to Colotlan, Jalisco, and Yahualica, Jalisco, both near the Zacatecas border, because of an increasingly volatile security situation. Concerns include roadblocks placed by individuals posing as police or military personnel and recent gun battles between rival TCOs involving automatic weapons. You should defer non-essential travel to these cities. In addition, the border areas between Jalisco state and the states of Zacatecas and Michoacán, as well as southern Nayarit state including the city of Tepic, have been sites of violence and crime involving TCOs. You should exercise extreme caution when traveling in these areas. Due to recent TCO-mounted road blockades between the Guadalajara airport and the Guadalajara metropolitan areas, U.S. government employees are only authorized to travel between Guadalajara and the Guadalajara Airport during daylight hours.
The warning relating to Guadalajara was based on an incident the night of January 15, 2011 (see https://www.osac.gov/Pages/ContentReportPDF.aspx?cid=10314). This warning notes that this was the FIRST such incident in Guadalajara, and also notes that several individuals were arrested and detained in relation to this incident. The rest of the warning pertains to parts of Jalisco that border Tepic, Zacatecas and Michoacan: these zones are all at least a 4 hour drive from Puerto Vallarta. The Guadalajara metropolitan area has a population of about 4.4 million people, and in any city of that size, even in the US, there are bound to be any number of drug or gang-related or violent incidents in a given month. I have personally driven to Guadalajara from Puerto Vallarta on the toll road as of last month, and will go again in early May, with no fear for my personal safety. Security has been elevated, and is very much in force everywhere you go.
Beach resort areas of Mexico are NOT given travel warnings, with the exceptions of the downtown areas of Acapulco and Mazatlan, where it is recommended to stay in tourist areas. The violence cited is between drug gangs and law enforcement, and not directed toward or involving tourists. The concern is for any effect on innocent bystanders.
The North American press treats "Mexico" like a small city that should be avoided, not a huge country of 110 million people, with 31 states and Mexico City. They rarely differentiate between Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua (at the US Border, 4 days drive from Puerto Vallarta), or Culiacan, Sinaloa, Durango, Tamaulipas or other affected areas which are also far from away from tourist areas. It's like saying don't visit the Jersey shore because people get murdered in Newark (year-to-date total of 29 murders http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/04/your_comments_in_wake_of_polic.html). Or don't visit San Francisco because of the murder rate in Oakland (36 so far this year http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/04/25/BANC1J74ST.DTL). But these troubled areas are all CLOSER to these tourist areas than we are talking about in Mexico.
Mexico is a big country, confronting problems which are primarily fueled by the flow of money and arms from the US in exchange for drugs used by American citizens. We are all in this war together. If North Americans stop visiting Mexico tourist areas, we are are only contributing to further decay of Mexican society by staunching the flow of legitimate tourist dollars to legitimate businesses and honest Mexican workers.

The Infatuations to bring party to Black Swamp Arts FestivalWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
The title of the opening track on The Infatuations' "Detroit Block Party" says it all: "Tonight We Celebrate."
Lead singer Caleb Gutierrez yells, "Get up!" and adds, "If you came to party, you came to the right place."
"We wanted to set the tone that this is a soundtrack for party events in your life whether it's a graduation party or wedding, just hanging out for the weekend or whatever it is, we want to be that soundtrack," said guitarist and band co-founder Christian Draheim. "'Tonight We Celebrate' is a song about let's go have a good time.
"I think so many artists are so deep and so heavy; they have so many important things to say. And at the end of the day, I started doing music because it was fun; it was a way to escape all the important, mundane stuff."
Fans have been moving and grooving since the Motor City band's disc dropped in May. The group's retro-sounding modern mix of rock, Motown, soul and funk has been compared to Fitz & The Tantrums and Mayer Hawthorne.
Essential to that sound is Gutierrez's distinctive voice.
"[Marco Lowe, band co-founder and songwriter, and I] knew we had to find the right lead singer for this project," Draheim said. "We had come up with a description of what we should keep our eyes and ear open for: Somebody who has that power and depth of a Levi Stubbs and the full vocal range of Stevie Wonder and can get a little gritty and sound like Rob Tyner, somebody who can symbolize all these Detroit vocalists and have their on thing at the same time."
Draheim saw Gutierrez take the stage at an open-mic night at a Dearborn bar in 2009.
"It was the first time I heard Caleb sing. And the whole place stopped, even the dart game. He commanded the whole place," Draheim recalled.
Gutierrez joined the lineup in 2010. One year later, The Infatuations released a video for the single, "Blame It on You."
"We had a pretty good idea of what we wanted our sound to be; it was kind of a combination of Motown, funk and Detroit-inspired rock 'n' roll," Draheim said. " 'Blame It on You' really had that backbeat Motown feel to it, just something easy for everybody to grab on to and sing along to with us."
Since then, the group has shared the stage with George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars and Here Come the Mummies.
"As we started playing festivals, I noticed that there's young people, there's older people, there are all sorts of different ethnic backgrounds in front of us," Draheim said. "I think there's something in [our music] for everybody."
Get ready to dance: The Infatuations — Draheim, Gutierrez, Lowe, bassist the Wolf, guitarist Nick Behnan and drummer Bobby Myers — will cruise down I-75 to play the main stage at 10 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green. The group also will take the family stage at 1:20 Sept. 6.

Coroner suspected an 'Angel of Death'
One afternoon in early 1999, Coroner Zachary Lysek left his office at the Northampton County Government Center in Easton, Pa., rode the stainless-steel elevator two floors up and walked into county Solicitor Jack Spirk's corner office.
Lysek was investigating the death of 78-year-old Easton Hospital patient Ottomar Schramm, and the evidence was leading him down a troubling path. He needed to talk to someone about the probe's potential bombshell findings and, as the county's solicitor and a former assistant district attorney, Spirk might be able to help.
"We might have an Angel of Death," Lysek told Spirk and county Administration Director James Hickey, who had slipped into the office behind Lysek to discuss another matter. They quickly shut the door.
It would another take five years and a separate investigation into a registered nurse working in New Jersey to confirm what Lysek felt in his gut: Schramm was murdered.
The nurse, Charles Cullen, will plead guilty Thursday to murdering Schramm while working as a temporary nurse at Easton Hospital. It will be the 17th murder Cullen has acknowledged since April, when he agreed to cooperate with authorities investigating his claims of having killed as many as 40 patients at 10 medical facilities where he worked. In return, prosecutors have agreed not to seek the death penalty.
On that winter day in 1999, though, Lysek had much to learn about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the Dec. 31, 1998, death of Schramm, a retired steelworker from Nazareth, Pa., who was admitted to Easton Hospital following a grand mal seizure at Gracedale Nursing Home.
Schramm had died 22 hours after routine blood tests found three times the therapeutic level of the heart medication digoxin in his system - medication that was never prescribed.
"The issue was where did he receive the dose?" Hickey said recently, recalling the meeting. "Did he receive it at Gracedale or did he receive it at the hospital?"
Lysek declined to comment on his investigation, but the autopsy report he filed listing Schramm's death as "accidental" shows an investigator frustrated with his findings but unable to prove wrongdoing.
Lysek's quest to find a possible "Angel of Death" began seven hours after Schramm died at 1:25 a.m. when the hospital's on-call pathologist asked his office to take jurisdiction in the case because Schramm had tested positive for unprescribed digoxin.
Lysek hired Sara Funke of Forensic Pathology Associates in Allentown to perform the autopsy. He then ordered tests on all samples collected from Schramm at the hospital, including the blood drawn when Schramm was admitted to determine whether the digoxin was administered at Gracedale.
Lysek also asked Gracedale for a list of staff who had access to Schramm between Dec. 1 and Dec. 28, when he was admitted to the hospital, and to secure all medications it had for Schramm. Perhaps one of the bottles was mislabeled, he noted.
But a review of Schramm's medication showed no problems with the bottles or the drugs inside, Lysek wrote in his report. And interviews with three Gracedale nurses seemingly ruled out the possibility of Schramm's having been poisoned there.
In the meantime, Funke completed her report on the autopsy, finding Schramm had died from "aspiration pneumonia due to seizure." She added that the non-prescribed digoxin was a contributing condition to his death.
"Neither a review of the available medical records nor the autopsy itself indicates how Mr. Schramm received digoxin," Funke noted. "On the basis of the contributing condition, manner of death will be listed as accidental."
Then, on March 3, he returned a call to Schramm's daughter, Kristina Toth.
Toth told him that while her father was in the emergency room at Easton Hospital, a male nurse was carrying a syringe when he came in to wheel Schramm away for additional tests, he wrote in his report. When Toth asked why he had the syringe, she said, the nurse explained it was to start her father's heart if it stopped.
Toth also wondered if he was the same nurse who tried to convince Toth that her father would not have wanted an autopsy because Schramm had a living will, Lysek noted.
"Ms. Toth was advised that I would forward this information to the internal investigators of Easton Hospital to determine who this male may be, and what his relationship was to the patient care of her father," Lysek wrote.
The autopsy report makes no further mention of a male nurse or what Lysek was told by the hospital. It ends with an entry on Aug. 18, 1999, about a meeting Lysek had with two Easton Hospital officials to ask them to perform an internal investigation into the incident.
The internal investigation ended like Lysek's. "Inconclusive," said Paul Laughlin, an attorney representing the hospital in the civil case brought by Schramm's widow.
"They were not able to determine the circumstances of how Mr. Schramm was given digoxin," he said. "They were unable to determine the circumstances around that."
Neither investigation had found enough evidence to launch a criminal investigation by the district attorney's office. The case went cold.
Then, in the summer of 2002, a nurse at St. Luke's Hospital in nearby Bethlehem, Pa., contacted Lysek through a third party about a nurse by the name of Charles Cullen who was being investigated by the administration for hiding medication in needle disposal bins.
Because St. Luke's was in neighboring Lehigh County, Lysek contacted the district attorney there, James Martin, through a mutual acquaintance about the tip.
They arranged a meeting and, on Aug. 29, 2002, the coroner, district attorney and the tipster nurse sat down for a meeting. A few days later, Martin asked the Pennsylvania State Police to investigate Cullen's actions at St. Luke's.
Like those by Lysek and Easton Hospital, the separate investigations by the State Police and St. Luke's found no criminal wrongdoing by Cullen. As he had time and again, Cullen was able to walk away and get another job, this time at Somerset Medical Center.
In the days after Cullen's arrest last December for murdering one patient and attempting to murder another at Somerset Medical, Lysek changed Schramm's cause of death from accidental to homicide.
"I was very suspicious of this death from the beginning, and I did not feel comfortable calling this death an accident," Lysek said at the time. "It's not common for a person to have a medication in his system that was not prescribed for him - and the levels were very high."
Soon after, Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli opened an investigation into Schramm's death and also asked Lysek to review the files of all 150 patients who died there during Cullen's stint there between November 1998 and March 1999.
Morganelli announced last month that Cullen would plead guilty Thursday to murdering Schramm even though Lysek's review has not been completed. The district attorney said Cullen would be brought back if other murders are uncovered.

How to Become a Bail Bondsman
Being a bail bondsman can be a profitable, yet risky, business. Not all states allow arrested persons to post commercial bail. However, these companies are very popular in the states that do allow the businesses. Consider taking the following if you are still interested in taking the steps to become a bail bondsman.
1Check to see if the state where you plan to work as a bail bondsman allows commercial bail for criminals. Some states do not allow it and a few other states have special guidelines regarding commercial bail. Some states openly allow it.
- States, such as Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon and Wisconsin do not allow commercial bail. Massachusetts allows it, but has rigorous requirements for new bail bondsmen when it comes to licensing. Texas and Georgia also have special guidelines pertaining to bail bondsmen.
2Gain information pertaining to being a bail bondsman in your particular state. Each state may have different rules and regulations for licensing. Even if you are already licensed in one state, do not assume you can operate in another.
- Ask the State Department of Insurance for information about bail bondsman schools and licensing requirements.
3Contact a school offering bail bondsman classes and choose one in which to enroll.
- Learn more information pertaining to being a bail bondsman from a trained instructor.

- You will likely have to prove to the insurance company that you are a trustworthy and reputable person.
6Continue to take courses on a yearly basis to renew your license.
- Some states require 6 or more hours of educational classes each year. Be certain to check with your state when you apply for your license.
