Love this cigar. It s my new number one cigar now. The price is just outrageous for a box. Im rating this 100 all the way
Upon removing the label I found the blue mold spots carefully hidden. It's certainly not fatal but it surprised me for such an iconic brand. The burn was very uneven and while it was indeed a savory smoke, the construction was sub-par. In all, a surprising amount of defects for a premium stick.
Love this cigar. It s my new number one cigar now. The price is just outrageous for a box. Im rating this 100 all the way2 0
Great cigar! Wonderful smooth taste!0 0
This exact cigar, the #2 belicoso and no other size or shape Monte White, is one of my favorite cigars. Absolutley one of the best!0 0
My wife bought me a few the cigars on the cruise. Truly an outstanding smoke in all respects. The taste is outstanding. Must get more of these.0 1
This is the absolute best cigar Of this kind and line. The price is a bit but the cigar is the finest you will ever smoke. Go out buy yourself one or two maybe three. You will see why.. Excellent construction texture and long filler leaf. Very consistent with a nice white ash and even burn. The flavor is a earthy with a hint of nutty taste with a cream finish. This cigars flavor is consistent all the way to the nub. I take my time and smoke them very slowly.. The longer they age the better. You will not be let down. It is better to buy them by the law.0 0
Best Cigar ever smoked, Its so smooth and relaxing. I would recommend to and new or veteran smoker0 1
I bought the 5 pack Montecristo toro sampler just to try them out and I didn t expect much. The Montecristo Montecristo brown band white fleur de lis was the best I had up till this point including the Monte , but I saved the White and Platinum for last. After over two months in the humidor I finally fired up my White tonight and was blown away. From the first light it was awesome and stayed that way until the end. Like all Montecristo it has a perfect draw, smoke and ash - textbook in fact. However, this one has a great slightly sweet chocolatey flavor that is super smooth. The toro was a long smoke too - I dragged it out to nearly 1:45 mainly because I was savoring it and smoking it slow so it wouldn t overheat. I enjoyed the flavor so much I went extra slow. I had a Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic after because I m a Hemingway fan, but I was so disappointed with the Hemingway after smoking this that I m going to look for a way to trade my Hemingway s for the Montecristo White! This beats the Monte, Epic, Classic aka Yellow Box nasty , and even the Montecristo Original. This is a full flavor cigar but a mild cigar from a nicotine kick standpoint too.2 0
Ever since being introduced to the Montecristo White line, I've been proudly boasting my affinity for these succulent smokes. Flavors of rich, roasted coffee with a smooth draw. It's an easy, medium-bodied smoke, great for new and experienced smokers alike.0 1
Best consistently constructed cigar. Leathery taste and creamy smoke. Forget about all those $30 high-fallutin' brands - you can't get any better than this1 1
Este Cigarro es excellente. Lo recomiendo a quien busque un sabor suave y cremoso. Su construccion es buena, pero genera poco humo. Aun asi es muy bueno. Un saludo desde Puerto Rico!0 0

New London — It's as if time has stood still at the Lighthouse Inn.
The menu at the hostess station in the now-shuttered inn once reminded the server that prices for brunch had changed — brunch for adults was now $29.95 and $15.95 for children. The soup of the day: lobster bisque.
Enter the main dining room and some tables still have linens on them with wine and water glasses in their proper places. A fake Christmas tree stands in the center of the room.
But the historic inn hasn't been open to the public since 2008 and, on this breezy fall day, those tables, linens, glasses and just about every piece of furniture and equipment was on the auction block. City officials, through their auction, were hoping to reclaim $125,388.51 in lost personal property taxes.
The city earlier this year took title to the historic property after a real estate tax auction failed to elicit a single bid at the minimum price of about $577,000.
At 11 a.m. Friday the doors to the inn opened to just two potential investors who had each brought a check for 25 percent of the minimum auction price — more than $30,000. They were able to see the rooms where some beds appeared to be freshly turned.
But there were a few things that investors couldn't ignore — the smell of mold, the outdated kitchen and furniture, the water damage and the layers upon layers of dust that cover almost everything.
One hour later, State Marshal Joe Heap opened the auction. There were no bidders. Tax Collector Maureen Farrell then made a bid on behalf of the city, thus making it the official owner of the once-thriving inn.
The previous owners, the Business Loan Center LLC, had defaulted on the taxes.
One potential bidder, Jim Noonan, a New London businessman, said Friday he had a small interest in the property. "It's a beautiful inn and it's going to be a big project to take on," he said.
Noonan, however, didn't rule out the possibility of investing in the property in the future.
Heap said it was probably advantageous to the city that no one bought the property since that will enable the city to now sell the inn with all of its contents. Prior to the auction, he said, he didn't believe the city would receive its asking price because the market is saturated with used hotel and restaurant items for sale.
The city legally had to conduct two separate auctions, for personal and real property, before taking complete possession of the inn and its contents, Heap said.
The 1902 Lighthouse Inn property on Guthrie Place, which had been a cherished dining spot and drinking establishment for generations and had been transformed into a resort in recent years, includes three buildings encompassing about 32,000 square feet of space and 51 guest rooms.
The city plans to make repairs to the inn, make a proposal to the new City Council in November to pass some sort of tax-abatement package, then host a general auction in which the highest bidder would become the new owner.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 32 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lori13 Good fit and good for competitive swimming This suit is great. Fits perfectly and not see through. I am bigger on top and sometimes there is not enough coverage but there were no issues with this suit. I did 2 indoor triathlons with it and it was great. No riding up on flip turns and it stayed in place the whole time. January 29, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by LenofIllinois Did not have bra cups The suit was attractive an fit well except it did not have bra cups so I was unable wear it, January 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cassy Good fit Great for compition. My daughter dives for her school. January 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kwame Great fit Great fit for my daughter on swimming team not to tight October 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by estafish Not For Petites I loved this swimsuit. Unfortunately I had to return it. I am 5 ft. 2 inches tall and it was too long for me. The top portion of the swimsuit sagged and puckered. Not a good fit for me. August 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WearWhatsComfortable Great Fit for Serious Swimming This suit almost seemed too small for my torso at first (a common problem as a guy who wears these style of suits), but once I got it in the water it was great. I barely noticed it after a few laps. The amount of compression is simply how this suit (and all competition suits, as a girl friend who is a competitive swimmer tells me) is meant to work. This will likely be my go-to suit going forward for lap swimming. August 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by cs swiming suit always every year because our daughter grows every year we need to buy her a new swimming suit and of course it has to be from your store, is well made and good quality, and the design are proper and beautiful. August 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mineo Not the bathing suit we bought She loves the one we bought! Would recommend that one. July 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Girl531 A good buy The suit is great and stays put--a real plus for serious swimming. There's not a lot of support, breast-wise, but you do get smashed in pretty tight. If you're larger than a B-cup (I'm not), you may wish for more support. Otherwise, a great suit, sleek and attractive but more importantly, sturdy and dependable. July 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yanaoflife This product is perfect for serious swimmers. Amazing, gives you amazing results as far as competitive swimming. Gives you great movement and easy to wash, and take off and on. June 23, 2015

Early childhood education building is on a school bond issue in Hennessey
HENNESSEY — Voters in Hennessey will decide Tuesday if the school gets a new early childhood education center and agricultural barn.
The $2.3 million bond issue would fund construction of a building that would house the district's growing prekindergarten and kindergarten programs. The agriculture barn would be used by students involved in FFA and other activities.
Superintendent Joe McCulley said having younger students in the same building with older elementary students has been problematic at times.
"The school was built before we had prekindergarten and those kids move so much within the building, with all of the high-stakes testing we have, we need to have a more calm and silent environment within the building for the older kids," McCulley said. "It will help keep the halls quieter."
Construction of the proposed 10,000-square-foot building would also free up some space in the current elementary school.
"It would allow us to take out some walls and expand our computer lab to 70 seats," McCulley said.
There are about 60 students in the prekindergarten program and another 60 in the kindergarten program. McCulley said those numbers continue to creep up.
The agriculture barn is $200,000 of the bond issue.
"We're looking for more numbers in our ag programs," McCulley said. "A lot of the reason they are down is kids don't have a facility to care for their animals."
McCulley said about 60 students participate in the school's agricultural education program.

I think we should first start by saying "Hi" and then "no" you haven't come through to Budget Music Video, this is the new BMV Productions website, similar yes but most certainly not the same. And although it's a live link, it will not officially go live [i.e. publicized or promoted] until the new year, so between now and then, those that already have access can expect to see regular updates as we repeatedly post and pull content until satisfied with the end result. But posting and pulling withstanding, you should take the time to take a tour, to find out not only what's coming but why we felt it necessary to create a second website. If the truth be told, right from Budget Music Videos inception many had suggested [some quite insistent] that we should have a second site as well, conscience to the fact that the name Budget Music Video has a distinct flaw… "You'll be stuck with a business that can only attracted broke ass clients" and for the most part they were right, but then that was always the point. Struggling artists with a bunch of song and not too much else are numerous and are the ones in greatest need of a Budget Music Video service. That is why they have our deepest gratitude because they are responsible for making Budget Music Video the number one music video production company of its kind. More to the point they have elevated Budget Music Videos capacity to spread its wings into the wider market justifying the need for a second website. As previously stated, this new BMV website is still very much work in progress, as we venture to attract new, lucrative and more diverse opportunities, whilst continuing to adhere to our stock in trade of always providing a high quality cost sensitives service. At the time of writing, BMV Production has just secured major contracts to produce high end music videos for two of the world's leading reality TV show franchises. Non-disclosure agreements have already been signed so this is as much as can be said for now until January 2016..Read More

It's no secret that we love doughnuts, and less of a secret that at Voracious, we are downright mad for Top Pot Doughnuts. From Laura Onstot's column about doughnuts to Julien Perry's interview with Top Pot owner Mark Klebeck, our passion for fried dough knows no bounds. And for me, a cookbook that peeks inside the inner workings of a beloved Seattle restaurant or bakery gets me hotter than oil in a deep fryer.
Top Pot founders and brothers Mark and Michael Klebeck partnered with local food writer and recipe developer Jess Thomson to write Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts: Secrets and Recipes for the Home Baker. The book includes recipes for Top Pot favorites like the Pink Feather Boa and Valley Girl Lemon doughnuts, classics such as Bavarian cream bismarks, apple fritters and old fashioned doughnuts, and variations for toppings, icings and glazes that can be mixed and matched with the four "master recipes" for spiced cake, devil's food cake, raised, and sour cream old fashioned doughnuts.
The introduction of the book includes the story behind Top Pot, the history of America's passion for doughnuts and explanations about various ingredients crucial to the Top Pot kitchen that are recommended for the home baker as well. Things like agar to help icings and glazes set and mace to give yeasted doughnuts their unique flavor. There are recommendations for equipment, but tips for improvising with stuff you already have for things like mesh strainers, bench scrapers and dough dockers.
Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts includes master recipes for Spice Cake, Devil's Food Cake, Raised, and Old-Fashioned doughnuts, along with toppings for each, like powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar. The introduction of the book, along with the chapter on icings, glazes and toppings however, encourages you to experiment and mix and match. Try the berry glaze with the old fashioned doughnuts or the maple glaze with the spiced chai ones. There are also fun flavors that Top Pot makes, but doesn't regularly sell like the Cristal doughnut that is topped with a ginger ale glaze and crushed pop Rocks. Best of all though is the recipe for Pershings, the fruitful marriage of a cinnamon roll and a doughnut.
This compact book doesn't use up page space for sidebars or extra story telling. Instead, each recipe includes both weight and volume measurements, cooking time and recipe yield. Some recipes include tips for using up extra dough or cautionary tales to warn you about potential errors you may encounter, so your doughnuts live up to your Top Pot expectations. Jess Thomson is a respected recipe developer and vivid storyteller. For bonus reading, I suggest checking out her behind-the-scenes story about writing the recipes for the book and having to eat lots, and lots of doughnuts.
Meet the authors around town this month and pick up your copy of Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts

LIRS Receives Checago Bright Foundation, Inc. Outstanding Achievement Award In Community Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) has received the Outstanding Achievement Award in Community Service from the Checago Bright Foundation, Inc. "We are honored to receive this award from the Checago Bright Foundation, and extremely grateful for the amazing work of the organization and its founder. Checago Bright-Sawo is a refugee entrepreneur who is giving back to others in so many ways," said Linda Hartke, President and CEO of LIRS, the national organization established by Lutheran churches in the United States to serve migrants and uprooted people."The foundation is presenting this award to LIRS for its dedicated service to the community by helping refugees, immigrants, and asylees resettle with their families and secure a second chance to live a normal life again, without fear of the persecution they suffered in their home countries," said the foundation's founder and CEO, Checago Bright-Sawo. The Checago Bright Foundation, Inc. was founded to address issues of basic life necessities in Liberia, such as undertaking clean water, sanitation, and education initiatives to empower the underprivileged through capacity-building and community development. The foundation ( www.checagobrightfund.org) serves Liberians in poorer communities by building and renovating latrines and hand pumps, providing scholarships, and participating in community projects in rural areas and the capital city of Monrovia. "As a former refugee from Liberia, I volunteered for eight years with LIRS in North Carolina by assisting new refugees arriving in the United States," said Bright-Sawo. "I then relocated to Washington, D.C., where I've helped LIRS advocate for refugees worldwide by heading refugee delegations for the past three years on World Refugee Day, and by urging Congress and the White House to provide greater protection of refugees overseas and enhance services to refugees already in the United States. The award was presented on Saturday, December 1, 2012 at the foundation's Second Annual Gala, which took place at the Kahler Hall Ballroom at 5440 Old Tucker Row in Columbia, MD. CNN producer and writer Brenda Bush-Weeks was the guest speaker at this year's gala, which aimed to raise awareness of the deplorable conditions of poorer communities in Liberia; empower the underprivileged through capacity-building and community development; and boost the foundation's work addressing the basic life necessities of Liberians. The foundation's goal for this year's gala was to raise $70,000 for constructing five toilet facilities and five hand pumps in Monrovia and rural Liberia. "Each year the money we raise goes directly to funding our projects, and this year, we anticipate building several modern latrine facilities and hand pumps for safe drinking water, and providing scholarships and educational materials to the following communities in Liberia: Jacobs Town Community, Paynesville; ICA-Camp, Sinkor, Monrovia; and Bomi County, Dorleyla Town, Swen Mecca District," said Bright-Sawo. LIRS is nationally recognized for its leadership advocating on behalf of refugees, asylum seekers, unaccompanied children, immigrants in detention, families fractured by migration and other vulnerable populations, and for providing services to migrants through over 60 grassroots legal and social service partners across the United States.

Travis Wood: Trustworthy Bullpen Linchpin, or Flash in the Bullpen Pan?
Last season, an emergent Travis Wood played a huge role in the Cubs' mid-season bullpen revival. A unit that staggered out of the gate turned into one of the league's best for (most of) the rest of the season, and one of the key turning points was Wood's demotion into a relief role in mid-May. […]

March 18, 2016 | Discuss
Chicago Cubs: why Travis Wood is important
The Chicago Cubs will be strong contenders for the World Series in 2016. The offseason acquisitions of John Lackey, Ben Zobrist, and Jason Heyward should make the Cubs even better than last season. While there has been a lot of focus on the offseason acquisitions, the Cubs have a lot of returning players that should make a great impact. One of these returning players is Travis Wood...

Chicago Cubs: Pitching woes continue
Believed to be a strength heading into this season, the Chicago Cubs bullpen and backend of the starting rotation has been disappointing as of late. After Sunday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, the Cubs are back at .500 for the first time since 2-2 on April 11th. The bullpen didn't start the season poorly, but a few injuries here and there, and the regression and underperforming...

Letter from victim's son clears Sampson of blame
Pickering MP helped out
May 17, 2003 - National Post
The eldest son of Christopher Rodway, the British engineer who was killed
in a car bombing in Riyadh in 2000, has officially forgiven the Westerners
who were convicted of the crime, including Bill Sampson, the Canadian
under death sentence in the capital of the Muslim kingdom.
"Should the high court of Saudi Arabia uphold the lower court convictions
of Mr. William Sampson; Mr. Alexander Mitchell; and Mr. Raf (Schyvens), of
the murder of my father, I hereby forgive these individuals for their
action as determined by the courts and ask that they be pardoned," wrote
Justin Rodway in the letter, a copy of which the National Post obtained.
"I'd had my suspicions all along, to be perfectly frank, that they weren't
guilty," said Mr. Rodway, 28, a Briton who manages a company that provides
support housing to adults with mental health problems.
"I think it was quite obvious to anybody really, bar the Saudis, that they
weren't guilty. So it was a straightforward decision really, if I could do
anything to help I would, it was just as simple as that. I am glad it was
there if needed."
Mr. Rodway is Christopher Rodway's eldest son from his 1st marriage. Jerry
Rodway, Christopher's father, who had said he believed in the death
penalty in such cases, died last year.
Dan McTeague, MP for the riding of Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge, confirmed
yesterday that he went to England in January to secure the pardon from Mr.
Rodway. Mr. McTeague, who met with Mr. Rodway in the restaurant of a
Holiday Inn in Bristol, paid for the visit himself.
Mr. McTeague said the Sampson case was brought to his attention by
constituents several months ago. They had begun a petition to Saudi
authorities to free the Nova Scotia-born biochemist, who has been in
custody for 29 months and was sentenced to death in a secret trial for his
alleged involvement in planting the car bomb that killed Mr. Rodway. After
consulting with experts in Saudi law, Mr. McTeague decided that the best
course of action would be to attempt to resolve the case using shariah law
and obtain a pardon from Mr. Rodway's eldest son and heir.
"I thought the case was hopeless. I thought the only way out of this was
to provide at least an honourable way out for both sides. I was trying to
do at a lower level what could not be conducted through diplomatic
channels," he said.
A similar action won the release of 2 British nurses in 1998. Lucille
McLauchlin and Deborah Parry had been convicted and sentenced to death for
the murder of a colleague at the King Fahd medical complex in Dhahran in
December, 1996. They were saved when the victim's brother agreed to accept
$1.1-million in blood money. The nurses were released by King Fahd after
spending 17 months in jail and allowed to return home.
While public execution is the mandated punishment for murder in Saudi
Arabia, the family of the victim has the right to waive punishment
altogether or ask for diya, or blood money. Mr. Rodway said he would never
have made payment of blood money a condition of the men's release.
Sheikh Salah Hejailan, the Saudi lawyer representing Bill Sampson and 6
other Westerners in detention in Riyadh, said yesterday the letter could
prove useful if the convictions against the men are upheld by the Supreme
Judicial Council. He said that while the council has reached a decision,
it has not been ratified by King Fahd.
Mr. Hejailan is hopeful, however, that a recent plea for clemency will be
successful and the men will soon be released.
"Those people are innocent, they haven't done anything and that's their
position," he said. "They have retracted their confessions. They haven't
done any of these things."

Sampson finally sees son in Saudi jail
The father of a man imprisoned in a Saudi jail on a charge of taking part in a bombing campaign was able to visit his son Tuesday for the first time since July, 2001.
James Sampson told CTV Newsnet via telephone from Riyadh that he saw his William for about 20 seconds on Tuesday.
However, his son, who has spent most of his time in jail in solitary confinement and is facing the death sentence in connection with the December, 2000, bombing campaign, became agitated at the sight of his father.
"Well, when I went in he was lying on a bed covered by a blanket and chained by his ankles to a bedpost," Mr. Sampson told the television station.
"He told me to leave. I said, I wasn't [going to leave]. I was there to speak to him. Then he told me again to leave and then he jumped up and out of the bed and punched me on the chest," Mr. Sampson said.
William then began to throw things at a number of Saudi officials who were also in the room, prompting them to rush out, Mr. Sampson said.
He said his son "looks better" than the last time he saw him. At that time, William Sampson was weak and emaciated.
"He's still full of spirit and spite," Mr. Sampson said.
James Sampson said there is nothing more he and his son can do but wait.
It is Mr. Sampson's fourth trip since his son was arrested more than two years ago in connection with the December, 2000, bombing in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Sampson saw his son twice during his first visit in 2001, but has had no contact since then.
The pharmaceutical engineer faces beheading in the bombing death of Briton Christopher Rodway, though Saudis have not carried out any such sentence against a Westerner in half a century.
Authorities in the strict Muslim kingdom, where alcohol is banned, contend that the bombings were part of a turf war between bootleggers.
Others point to continued bombings and say the Saudis are trying to cover up a potentially embarrassing campaign by militant fundamentalists.
A ruling on Mr. Sampson's appeal to the highest Saudi judicial body has not been reached.

TFSA return and payment of taxes
Most TFSA holders have no tax payable related to their TFSA investments, and no TFSA tax return has to be filed. However, when TFSA taxes are applicable for a year, a Form RC243, Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Return, must be filed by June 30 of the following year. Any tax owing must also be paid by that date. For payment remittance options, see Make a payment.
The Form RC243-SCH-A, Schedule A – Excess TFSA Amounts and Form RC243-SCH-B, Schedule B – Non-Resident Contributions to a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) will assist you in determining your tax liability.
If a TFSA return is required but has not been filed, the CRA may use information provided by your issuers in order to calculate any tax payable by you.
Proposed TFSA return explained
Annually, we send out a letter and a proposed TFSA return to Canadians who may have over contributed to their TFSA. You may also receive a proposed TFSA return if you made contributions to your TFSA while you were not a resident of Canada. If you receive a letter, it does not automatically mean that you owe tax. It may just mean that more information is required.
Proposed TFSA return package
The proposed TFSA return package normally includes the following:
- Cover letter – It provides general information about TFSA rules and instructions regarding what you need to do to respond to the proposed return.
- RC243-P, Proposed Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Return – This proposed TFSA return shows the taxes we have calculated and is based on the information we received from your issuers. The proposed TFSA return is not a formal assessment of tax.
- Return envelope – This is provided to mail your return and payment or additional documentation, as applicable, to the TFSA Processing Unit.
Responding to the proposed return package
This proposed return does not represent a formal assessment of tax. Although you cannot file a notice of objection on a proposed TFSA return, the following options are available to you:
- If you agree with the information on the TFSA return, sign, date, and include your social insurance number. You can make your payment electronically, by going to My Payment—save time, pay online! We will issue an assessment based on this return.
- If you do not agree with the TFSA return and you would like us to review your situation, send a letter to the address indicated below. Include a detailed explanation and any additional documentation you may have about the excess contributions along with proof that your excess TFSA amount has been corrected.
Canada Revenue Agency
TFSA Processing Unit
Post Office Box 9768 Station T
Ottawa ON K1G 3X9
We will review your request and send you a letter explaining our decision. If we do not receive a response from you, we will issue an assessment based on the information on file. This assessment will include any penalties and interest that may apply.
If you still disagree with our decision, see What should you do if you disagree with your assessment?

Monday, January 25, 2010;
The Obama administration and the Federal Reserve are winding down their efforts to keep mortgage rates at historic lows. Here are some of the tools they used:
The Treasury Department began to spend $220 billion in September 2008 to buy mortgage-backed securities before ending the program in December. A healthy market for these securities, which are giant pools of home loans, ensures that lenders have plenty of money to issue mortgages.
The Federal Reserve pledged to buy $1.25 trillion worth of mortgage-backed securities, the largest single intervention the central bank has undertaken amid the financial crisis and recession. The Fed has said it will end this program on March 31.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two firms that own or guarantee half of the nation's $12 trillion mortgage market, were taken over by the government in September 2008. The move helped these firms borrow at low rates because lenders know they cannot fail. They passed on these savings to consumers in the form of low rates. On Christmas Eve, the Treasury said it would cover all of their losses, but said that holdings of mortgage-backed securities must be scaled back over time.

text: Houston Criminal Defense Blog 2013 February Father Arrested for Avenging his Sons' Death Previous Post | Next Post Father Arrested for Avenging his Sons' Death Posted By The Martinez Law Firm || 11-Feb-2013 A father's love for his sons is one of the strongest bonds in the world, but for one parent, this love turned criminal when he avenged his sons' death by shooting the driver who killed both of them in a car accident back in December. According to the authorities, the accident happened on December 7th, 2012. The father with the initials D.B. along with four children and his wife were harmed when a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu crashed into the rear of their pickup truck. In the accident, D.B.'s sons were both killed. D.B. suffered a few non-life threatening injuries, but his 12-year-old son died at the scene. His 11-year-old son was airlifted to a local hospital where he died. The driver of the car that had started the accident was a man with the initials J.B. He was intoxicated at the time of the crash and when tested he had a BAC of .175. The angry father pulled out a gun and shot the driver in the head after discovering that his 12-year-old son was dead. Several witnesses say that they saw the crash occur, and then watched as D.B. walked away from the crash and back to his home. He returned shortly after with a gun in his hand, and fired shots until J.B. fell to the ground. Investigators say that they did not recover any weapons at the scene of the accident. Still, the evidence from the witnesses may be enough to prove that D.B. is guilty of his alleged crime. After obtaining a search warrant, investigators entered D.B's home and found a gun holster and ammunition. No gun was found. The father was arrested for the murder of J.B. and his bond has been set at $450,000. If you have been arrested for murder, chances are that you are terrified about what may lie ahead.

Accelerated Repair of Vascular Injury in Diabetic Retinopathy by Autologous TGF-β-Modified Hematopoietic Stem Cells
We propose to develop an efficient, safe clinical treatment for diabetic retinopathy using human adult stem cells that have been activated to repair damaged vessels in the eye. Despite advances in our understanding of how diabetic retinopathy occurs, no effective treatment exists to reverse the retinal blood vessel damage and the vision loss resulting from lack of blood/oxygen supply to the retina. Diabetic retinopathy remains the leading cause of irreversible blindness among working-age adults despite the use of laser and drug therapy, and retinal surgery to treat complications of diabetic retinopathy such as swelling of the retina, bleeding in the eye or retinal detachment. Adult blood and bone marrow contain stem cells that can repair damaged tissue and blood vessels. In disease these stems cells have limited repair capability and chronic diabetes further severely disrupts the ability of these stem cells to repair damaged blood vessels.
We have shown that these adult stem cells treated temporarily with a drug that blocks an important regulator of stem cell inactivation (i.e. , transforming growth factor-beta, TGF-β) greatly enhances vessel repair capability of these stem cells, and importantly stem cells from diabetic patients, as well. Thus, this stem cell activating drug may allow diabetic patients to use their own stem cells to treat their diabetic retinopathy. Using a patient's own stem cells is much safer and potentially more effective since rejection is not an issue.
In this proposal, we plan to determine the best source of the stem cells. We will compare the repair capacity of adult stem cells obtained from blood and the bone marrow since there is data to suggest that bone marrow derived adult stem cells may repair better than stem cells from blood vessels. We will also compare the repair capacity of the stem cells obtained from diabetic patients to that from non-diabetic patients since preliminary data suggest that stem cells from bone marrow of non-diabetic normal donors may repair better than stem cells from peripheral blood. We will then compare the effect of blocking TGF-β on these stem cells from different sources in order to determine the best source of stem cells for treating diabetic retinopathy.
Next, we want to determine whether these adult stem cells work better when they are injected directly into the eye versus injected into the blood stream. Injecting directly into the eye is simpler and safer but since diabetes is a systemic disease, systemic administration may be more effective. We also will determine if either route of stem cell therapy is safe and effective in the long-run.
Once we complete the proposed studies, we will be able to plan a clinical trial to treat patients with diabetic retinopathy using their own stem cells. If this treatment proves to be effective, it will be the first "cure" for diabetic retinopathy.
Since diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of irreversible blindness among the working age adult population in California and elsewhere, developing an effective treatment that will minimize the vision loss and blindness complications of this disorder will be a tremendous benefit to California and the world. Working age adults with diabetes mellitus may no longer become disabled due to visual impairment, allowing them to remain productive in jobs and enhance the economy of the state. In addition, since diabetes is a systemic disease involving damaged blood vessels throughout the body, the stem cell therapy developed with this proposal may be used to treat other disabling systemic complications of diabetes, such as neuropathy and kidney problems. An effective systemic therapy for diabetic complications would dramatically reduce the need for health care, and thus, reduce the cost of health care in California and the world. Furthermore, at least one member of this research team witnessed his mother blinded by retinopathy (but otherwise exceptionally healthy at 89 years old) succumb to depression caused by vision loss. The improvement in quality of life by developing effective retinopathy treatments cannot be underestimated
