Allied Veterans attorney gets 6 years in prison
Updated:SANFORD, Fla. —
An attorney convicted of leading a $300 million gambling ring that used a veterans charity as a front has been sentenced to
six years in prison.
Jacksonville attorney Kelly Mathis received the sentence Wednesday after a Florida judge listened to character witnesses describe the lawyer as a man of integrity who loved his family.
Mathis' attorneys argued that he should be spared prison given he only provided legal advice to Allied Veterans of America.
statewide prosecutor Nick Cox said Mathis deserved prison for engaging in deception. Cox said Mathis was responsible for marrying the gambling operation with the veterans charity.
Mathis was convicted last year of 103 counts of racketeering, possessing slot machines and other charges.
Mathis wiped away the tears Wednesday as he listened to his wife read letters from their daughters, begging a Seminole County judge not to send their father to prison.
Mathis's wife was joined by almost a dozen Jacksonville attorneys, each taking the stand to try
to keep the man convicted by the state of orchestrating a multimillion- dollar illegal gambling operation under the guise of a charity , out of prison.
Even though a report from the Department of Corrections recommended two years of home confinement, Cox pushed for a minimum of five and a half years, saying Mathis should have known what he was doing was potentially illegal, setting up casinos across the state.
"To take advantage of it, in the manner he did, he wasn't a lawyer, judge, this was a crime," said Cox.
The judge is allowing Mathis to remain free pending the outcome of his appeal, which may not be heard until next year.
9 Investigates first exposed the Allied Veterans strip mall casinos more than two years ago.
A raid last year by the state forced the resignation of Florida's lieutenant governor.

How did the pt respond?? You wrote so much but wrote nothing about how the pt responded.
Not saying this lady was not experiencing a true issue, but I've seen some crazy things people do to get attention, drugs or admitted to the ICU.
I have also given pts Ativan for resp issues, it does calm them down enough to help ease their breathing efforts. I have also given morphine for the same reason. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If she needed to be intubated, she was in the right place.
Was the doc right, I have no clue, was he an ass, maybe. The ICU is a tough place to be and you will see lots of suffering if you stay.
Jul 20Quote from quiltynurse56I shouldn't have fed into it.. :P I just. Guh. I couldn't read that post and not...!And another old thread revived.
Jul 20Quote from sevensonnetsProfessionals do not coo and hold hands in the breakroom, or move the relationship to a private area. Professionals keep their private life and work life separate.The cooing and holding hands in the breakroom soon gets old and so you move to less public areas of the hospital thinking you'll have some privacy there to avoid being talked about and being scrutinized. But you will be and at least one of you will be counselled about your behavior and somebody loses their job because they're neglecting it. I have seen it happen more than once. It's never a good idea to date someone from work.
I met a DH at work ( during a code no less). We dated, and eventually married. No counseling or job loss was required!
Jul 20Quote from Pangea ReunitedComes across to me as a little shy, and afraid of rejection.You're coming across as a little creepy to me. Is it just me?? The detailed plans involving someone you "barely know" are strange.
Jul 19
Go for it. She may turn you down for coffee in the cafe, because she doesn't have time for a break. Just ask her if she would like to get together sometime.
Who CARES if other hospital personnel see you and start "rumors" This is work, not junior high.
Good luck!
Jul 19Quote from springchick1The OP may very well know how to do this and doesn't realize it. Is it possible he/she learned it as different terminology? Not all clinical rotations give the same opportunities. I actually had very little exposure to IV's in general during my clinicals. Just the luck of the draw on the days I was there. Does that mean I went to an inferior school or am an inferior nurse? Yes, the OP should ask at work, but who knows, maybe he or she has been belittled for asking questions at work and is now feeling intimidated.My question is what kind of nursing school and clinical sites did you attend where you don't know how to do this??
Jul 19Quote from sadiemae1123I think if he does end up posting the labs you should next demand the last calibration report from the lab for that machine.Gotta love election season. I just saw a Facebook post by someone running for office.
Apparently he has such an amazing work ethic he continued to go to his job despite having a "really low sodium", a potassium level of 11.4, and being "really dehydrated".
He even posted the time sheets to prove it. Not the labs though. [emoji57]
Think I should vote for him?

You know you have been a nurse too long, when one of parents deck you and you can't get up off the floor.

Oh my dear, I feel so bad for you. what a horrible experience. I know you will never forget this, but if it's any comfort to you at all, I know you did your level best in this case. You are a very kind, caring helpful nurse. God bless you.
Jul 18
Patient's wife said, "You don't know what you're doing!"
I wanted to respond, "Oh, really? If you and your husband knew what y'all were doing, why were you unable to manage this health issue at home? If you know what you're doing, why are you even here?"
Jul 18
Not the rudest, but the latest. "How long have you been a nurse?". I respond 6 months. "It shows". Same pt was upset bc her ice melted when I brought her water.
Jul 18
I'm white, and I live in an area where whites are a distinct minority. I've been called at "fat white (bad word for female dog)" more times than I can count, and have been "fired" several times because the patient -- or more likely his family -- want a nurse with the same racial background as their own. I've also been the nurse asked to change assignments because someone doesn't want an Asian, African or Latin American nurse taking care of them. I have to laugh, because the patient who starts firing nurses and special ordering a nurse of the racial background they prefer quickly end up with the least experienced and least proficient nurses on the unit.
I couldn't possibly come up with the worst thing someone has said to me without hours of reflection, but here are some of the more memorable statements:
"If you're pregnant, I hope your baby is born dead." (I wasn't pregnant; but had just had surgery for cervical cancer and knew I was never going to be able to become pregnant. So this hurt on so many levels.) When I said I wasn't pregnant, they asked "Why would you want to kill your baby?"
"I (bad word meaning, among other things, "to strike or penetrate") your husband."
And from a psych patient in my first psych clinical: "You're so pretty in your red panties." Turns out he was the local campus creeper and had been arrested for peering in Windows. It's very possible that one of the Windows he had been peering into was mine.
Other posters have fabulous answers about how to deal with the comments, so I'll defer to them. Just know that you will get rude, insulting, personal and otherwise inappropriate comments throughout your nursing career. Don't let it get to you.

Syria named among "most dangerous" zones on Earth
12 March 2014 [09:15] -
The number of children affected by the civil war in Syria has more than doubled over the past year, with hundreds of thousands of young Syrians trapped in besieged parts of the country, the United Nations Children's Fund said, Al Arabiya reported.
"After three years of conflict and turmoil, Syria is now one of the most dangerous places on earth to be a child," said the UNICEF report. "In their thousands, children have lost lives and limbs, along with virtually every aspect of their childhood."
"They have lost classrooms and teachers, brothers and sisters, friends, caregivers, homes and stability," it said. "Instead of learning and playing, many have been forced into the workplace, are being recruited to fight, or subjected to enforced idleness."
UNICEF said the child casualty rates were the highest recorded in any recent conflict in the region. It cited U.N. figures that at least 10,000 children have been killed in the Syrian war but noted that the real number is probably higher.
The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said that more than 136,000 have been killed since a revolt against President Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011.
"The dangers for children go beyond death and injury," UNICEF said. "Boys as young as 12 have been recruited to support the fighting, some in actual combat, others to work as informers, guards, or arms smugglers."
The UNICEF report said 2 million children needed some form of psychological support or treatment while a total of 5.5 million children were affected by the conflict - some of them inside Syria and others living abroad as refugees.
This is more than twice the number of children affected by the conflict in March 2013, when UNICEF estimated it had impacted 2.3 million young Syrians.
The number of children displaced inside Syria has risen to nearly 3 million from 920,000 a year ago. Meanwhile, UNICEF said the number of child refugees has grown to 1.2 million from 260,000 since last year - 425,000 of them under 5 years old.
"The decline in Syrian children's access to education has been staggering," the report said. "Today, nearly 3 million children in Syria and in neighboring countries are unable to go to school on a regular basis. That's about half of Syria's school-age population."
UNICEF said there were 323,000 children under 5 years of age in besieged or areas that are hard for humanitarian aid workers to access.
The UNICEF report comes after Save the Children, an international advocacy group that promotes children's rights, issued an assessment of Syria's collapsing healthcare system.
The UNICEF report said Syrian children are being been forced to grow up faster than any child should - one in 10 Syrian refugee children is now working while one in every five Syrian girls in Jordan is forced into early marriage.
"This war has to end so that children can return to their homes to rebuild their lives in safety with their family and friends," said UNICEF director Anthony Lake. "This third devastating year for Syrian children must be the last."

Beijing '08 Preview: FAW B131 Sedan
The FAW Besturn is a Chinese sedan based on the current-gen Mazda6, and while it won't go down in the annals of memorable car designs, its certainly not offensive either inside or out. Come next month at the Beijing Motor Show, FAW is expected to introduce a new, still-unnamed 4-door that Autoblog Chinese refers to simply as B131. The attached sketches show some promise -- that's a nice-looking car -- but the spy photo to the right gives us pause, as it looks nothing like the sketches. In fact, it just looks like a taped-up Mazda6. Here's hoping that FAW unveils something that looks like the drawings and not just the current Mazda6 with a FAW badge in the middle of the grille.

Google made the highest bid for streaming video site Hulu, reportedly around $4 billion, more than double what it paid for YouTube, Business Insider reported. However, Google was also bidding on some as-yet unspecified extras that didn't meet the conditions of Hulu's owners.
Dish, which is also interested in Hulu's technology, bid $1.9 billion, topping other contenders Amazon and Yahoo. Hulu was apparently looking for a bid higher than $2 billion, but without whatever bonus items Google threw in the mix.
Why does Google want Hulu? As we reported last week, even though YouTube had six times more unique viewers than Hulu, Hulu generated more than four times more video ad impressions than YouTube in August.
Another reason: 86.8 million people in the U.S. watch a TV show online at least once per month, according to eMarketer. By 2015, eMarketer forecasts that number to increase to 125.3 million.
It's still possible Hulu may not sell, and it's also possible that Hulu's owners, which include News Corp., Walt Disney Co., NBC Universal, and Providence Equity Partners, would decline a sale involving Google without caveats, such as blocking piracy searches, Reuters reported. Other factors that may derail the sale include Yahoo's instability following the firing of Carol Bartz.
Also, "…the bidders all figured out pretty quickly that the TV companies who own Hulu now want to phase out free ad-supported content completely. So as soon as the current set of Hulu contracts expire in a couple of years, it would be back to the negotiating table," Business Insider added.

With a massive recall of air bags, the US auto industry has broken the annual record for safety recalls in less than half a year.
Automakers are recalling millions of vehicles to replace defective explosive charges in air bags that can send metal shrapnel flying at occupants during a crash.
Car companies have now called back at least 31.4 million vehicles in the US this year, breaking the industry's record for annual recalls of 30.8 million set in 2004. The air bag issue so far accounts for about 3 million of that and is likely to grow.
The air bags, made by Takata Corporation, are used in millions of vehicles made by Honda, Nissan, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda and BMW, underscoring how increasing use of common parts is amplifying safety problems. To cut costs, automakers are designing different models to share platforms and many parts, so a single defect can affect millions more vehicles than in the past.
Honda and Nissan are recalling the air bags, while others automakers are characterising the defect differently. But Ford, Chrysler, Mazda and BMW are considering recalls, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Toyota recalled about 766,000 in the US for the same defect earlier this month. (Car companies are yet to announce how many vehicles will be affected in New Zealand).
Automakers are split on how they are labeling the air bag action. Honda said it is recalling 2 million vehicles, including 2001-2007 Accords, 2001-2005 Civics, 2002-2006 CR-Vs, 2002-2004 Odyssey vans, 2003-2007 Pilots, 2003-2011 Elements and other Honda and Acura models.
Nissan is calling back 228,000 vehicles in North America, including the Infiniti FX35 and Pathfinder.
But Ford and Chrysler said they are conducting a "field action" in co-operation with the NHTSA to collect air bag inflators from cars for the agency's investigation into the problem. A Mazda spokesman described its action as "special service program" of 34,600 vehicles that works like a recall.
The NHTSA has found that on some of vehicles, the propellant housed in a metal canister in the system can burn too quickly, causing the container to explode. If that happens, metal shards will spray into the passenger cabin. Sometimes the problem is with the driver's air bag; at other times it occurs on the passenger side.
Millions of vehicles in the US and elsewhere have previously been recalled for the problem. But NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation started receiving more reports of incidents of air bag inflator ruptures last year. The agency said it learned of three injuries caused by the problem.
A review found at least six incidents that occurred in hot and humid regions such as Florida and Puerto Rico. Investigators are looking into whether high humidity is causing the propellant in the air bag canisters to burn too quickly.
Takata has asked automakers to look at cars registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
But Honda said it would also recall vehicles in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas, based on the high humidity levels in those states.

Proximal Data, the leading provider of server-side caching solutions specifically designed for virtualized environments, today announced that Purchasing Power, the premier provider of purchase programs for employees, has selected Proximal Data's AutoCache® software to improve application performance and report processing in virtualized environments. Purchasing Power was able to triple the virtual machine (VM) density on its databases and reduce run times for its SAS data analytics program and its monthly financial reporting by 85 percent.
Purchasing Power had been experiencing issues with the processing time for its monthly reports, particularly a financial report that took 36.5 hours to run. The report also required keeping other virtual machines out of the system while it ran, since it consumed all the host resources. The company needed a solution that would support its Linux® operating system without having to use agents, improve its application performance and availability, and reduce latency, all without having to upgrade its back-end NetApp® SAN hardware.
"The need to improve the report processing performance, as well as other issues, led us to discussions about caching at the server level," said Brian DaPrano, manager of systems and security at Purchasing Power. "AutoCache was the only product we found with the features we needed and was the only solution that was both cost-effective and transparent to our existing systems and application environments."
Purchasing Power chose AutoCache not only for its compatibility with existing hardware and software but also for its ability to be flash device-agnostic, working with PCIe cards and SSDs, including Intel's 910 400GB PCIe card in its existing test configuration. AutoCache proved to be easy to implement and use while delivering significant results almost immediately after Purchasing Power's AutoCache evaluation began.
Utilizing AutoCache, Purchasing Power tripled the virtual machine density on its databases and reduced the original run time by 85 percent for its SAS data analytics program. Furthermore, the monthly financial report that took 36.5 hours to run now takes only 6.5 hours, even while running concurrent operations, including backup, with multiple VMs on the same host. AutoCache eliminated the need to move VMs when running the monthly financial report and improved the performance of each VM in the process, all without any change to Purchasing Power's internal processes or procedures.
"AutoCache performs with an amazing cache hit rate," said DaPrano. "Everything we tested with AutoCache has benefited. We had a major software upgrade and, thanks to AutoCache, the time to perform that upgrade was cut by eight hours. Without question, we would recommend AutoCache to everyone. This product just works."
Implementing AutoCache took Purchasing Power only a matter of hours, so in no time the company had fully deployed the software in its environment and on a test server used for trying different software.
Proximal Data's channel partner, Condre Storage, provided the transactional logistics support and services necessary to efficiently deliver the AutoCache software to Purchasing Power.
"By partnering with Proximal Data to supply AutoCache to customers and resellers, we are offering a complete solution that uniquely improves the efficiency of our customers' data centers," said Dennis Maetzold, president at Condre Storage. "Customers get an enormous return on their investment as a result of AutoCache's ability to deliver greater VM performance with higher throughput and lower latency."
Purchasing Power's future plans for AutoCache include deploying it to most of their virtual hosts in the next year and deploying it in their test environment to resolve any issues there as well.

Additional Notes
Complaint: This is a very long story, So i originally brought my volvo in for timing belt replacement. They did the job, with some delay due to them moving buildings which is understandable. So the job was done in a semi reasonable fashion and i had my car back. Since i had some acquaintance with these people the next time i needed something repaired (oil pressure problem) i felt like they might be a reliable resource. After having my car for nearly a month, which i dealt with because i felt they might be taking special care (which i asked for to find the problem and best solution) so they tear apart the bottom end of my engine and do their diagnostic and find its just the oil sump neck. I originally wanted to change the oil pump and any other replaceable parts while the job was being done so as to not have any future problems, volvo assured me that the oil pump was mechanical and that it would need no replacement. Job was finished and i picked up my car, when i picked up my car a few of the gauges in my car were no longer functional and the new battery i had just had installed was dead... When i called volvo back they sent someone out to give me a jump and assured me the gauges were as provided and since i had my car towed in i didnt feel like i had the correct knowledge to make any accusations so i just let it be. Now after less than 1500 miles of driving the vehicle the engine stalled and refused to run properly which all coincided with immediate loss of all oil pressure while on the freeway. I shut down the car within a second of the oil pressure zeroing and pulled over to the side of the road unpowered. I called volvo and informed them of the situation and the failure of the motor resulting from an area they had just been messing with. They seemed like they wanted to help and sounded like they might have been worried it was something they had done. After the car sitting in volvo for an additional 2 weeks which has caused me to stay in Washington longer (I moved away for work and was only supposed to be here for the holidays but am forced to stay longer now to deal with the car) Volvo calls me and says they brought the car in and found out the motor was bad and going to need to be replaced..... they found all of this out just by letting it sit in line for 2 weeks then starting it without taking it apart to even inspect the damage and what might have caused it to even verify if it was a problem caused by them or just mechanical failure. In my experience with a recent repair gone wrong with that few of miles and something to break in the exact same area as what was last repaired either means neglect in repair, lack of proper repair or improper installation.
Desired Settlement: I personally feel that regardless of normal mechanical failure possibilities the chances are too great that the damage was done by other means, and for the company to not even look in to the actual problem to atleast gain plausible deniability only makes me think even more suspicious thoughts. I feel at minimum just for reasonable doubt the car should have been taken back apart and full inspection performed. And now that i think about it i dont know if i would even trust them to do the diagnosis on a vehicle i believe might have been damaged at their shop. If the engine damages is found to be in the area of repair and parts removed and replaced, like i said before i think the chances are too great that the damage was done in their care and i would like my vehicle back in the running driving condition that it arrived in.
RE: ******** **** Complaint
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Business Response: Mr. **** has failed to address the issue at hand. He WAS informed of the needs for his vehicle and never took the proper steps to address them. The invoice he was provided had a clear statement that the wheel could never be removed and the oil pump seal he requested to be replaced could not be replaced due to this fact. We offered to remove it for him at his own risk of damage to his property. He declined such repair and continued driving the vehicle. Our dealership will take no responsibility for his actions.

Recent North Naples reviews
"The condo in Naples was perfect for us. It was literally a two-minute walk from the beach and had a view of the Bay from the screened in porch. Parking was right in front of the building. There were two well-sized bedrooms plus a den and two full bathrooms plus laundry room. The eat-kitchen is completely renovated. The condo was fully equipped and Tina was always available if we had any questions. We would absolutely stay there again."Guest: travelfam Date of Stay: December 2015 Review Submitted: February 17, 2016View listing
"Our family just spent 11 relaxing and stress-free days at this vacation home. We were a party of 2 adults, a 15 year old and a 12 year old. The home met all of our needs and I would rent it again without hesitation. Valerie was great to deal with and responded promptly to our questions prior to booking the home. The home is located on a tranquil canal where you can fish ( don't forget your FL fishing license) using the equipment in the garage.. The grounds with numerous shrubs and trees were impeccable. The best part of this vacation home is the super large pool (the largest of any home we have rented in FL). We spent hours in the pool each day. The lanai has upgraded furniture and provided sufficient shade from the midday sun. The kitchen was so well stocked. The refrigerator, oven, stove and dishwasher worked very well. There was more than enough cooking utensils/equipment. There was plenty of countertop space for food prep. The three bedrooms were roomy and very comfortable. The Master bedroom and bath were especially nice. Location, location, location. This home is so close to Vanderbilt Beach and the Delnor Wiggins State Park. You will enjoy the short distance to beautiful sandy beaches and the warm waters of the Gulf. Beach chairs and umbrellas, along with a few other items, are available in the garage. Lots of shops and restaurants are within a short drive. You wil not be disappointed renting this home. Thanks for everything Valerie."Guest: Darryl J.

For the data on weather take a look at www.weatherbase.com
We were in SL in November 2007. We weren't at the beach, but traveled to the Ancient cities area, Kandy and the tea country. We had rain probably two or three times, mostly at night. The weather was hot at lower elevations (but not unbearably so) but got cooler at higher elevations. In the tea country, we needed heaters at night to eat dinner al fresco.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Couple Of Capitals Enjoy Their Golf
by Paul on 01/22/09 at 10:41 PM ET
Comments (0)
from PGATour.com,
Jeff Schultz and Eric Fehr, who play for the NHL's Washington Capitals, left frigid D.C. during the All-Star Break to come to sunny Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and play THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.
PGATOUR.COM: What did you think about the 17th hole? I hear you had a 10-foot birdie putt there.
SCHULTZ: It wasn't as hard as I thought. But I guess if you've got a couple of stroke lead coming down the last day and everybody watching you, I can see why they call it one of the hardest holes in golf. It's a tough green to read. I was able to par it. It was the highlight of my day.
PGATOUR.COM: What similarities do you see between golf and hockey?
FEHR: I think it's kind of the swing—a slap shot and a golf shot. To me I putt like I'm playing hockey. I put my hand on the bottom of the putter.

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell division and growth. In order to identify new therapeutic targets through which to tackle the disease, scientists seek to clarify the mechanisms that control the expression of genes that favor the development of tumors, in processes such as uncontrolled cell division. Today, Nature has published a paper by the lab headed by Raúl Méndez, ICREA professor at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona).
Green shows the localization of CPEB1 in four tumor cells and blue the nuclei.

The study describes a mechanism controlled by the CPEB1 protein that affects more than 200 genes related to cell proliferation and tumor progression. The mechanism, which was discovered using Hodgkin lymphoma cells, has been proposed as a general regulatory system that enhances the spread of cancer.
The researchers describe that CPEB1 shortens a highly specific region of RNAs (RNAs are the molecules that carry gene information for protein synthesis). This region holds most of the signals that determine whether an RNA molecule is made into a protein or not. "CPEB1 "takes off the brakes" for hundreds of RNAs that stimulate cell desdifferentiation and proliferation, allowing them to be made into proteins; however, in addition to removing the brakes in the nucleus, this protein accompanies RNA to the cytoplasm, where it speeds up the production of these proteins", explains the senior author of the paper Raúl Méndez, head of the "Translational control of cell cycle and differentiation" group at IRB Barcelona.
Raúl Méndez is an expert on the CPBE protein family, a type of RNA-binding protein that has a positive and crucial role in early embryo development. "CPEB proteins are necessary during development and also during tissue regeneration via stem cells in adults, but if the programme governed by CPEBs is continually switched on, cells divide when they are not supposed to and form a tumor", explains Méndez. The CPEB family comprises four proteins, which compensate each other's normal function but which have specific activities in diseased states. "This finding is positive from a therapeutic viewpoint because it means that if you remove CPEB1 from healthy cells, its function can be taken over by any other CPEB protein. In contrast, in tumors only CPEB1 has the capacity to shorten these regions, thus affecting only tumor cells", states Italian researcher Felice Alessio Bava, first author of the paper, and post-doctoral fellow with Méndez's group who, this year, has obtained his doctorate degree through the "la Caixa" International Fellowship Programme. This study provides further evidence of the potential of CPEB proteins as therapeutic targets. In 2011, in a study published in Nature Medicine, Méndez identified that CPEB4 "switches on" hundreds of genes linked to tumor growth. This new study explains that the overexpression of CPEB4 in tumors is because CPEB1 has also "released the brakes that keep CPEB4 at low levels in a healthy tissue". "The fact that these proteins control each other is also advantageous from a therapeutic point of view", asserts Méndez, "because partial inhibition, by a drug, would be amplified, thus allowing tumor cell reprogramming. The amplification should make it easier to find a viable compound".
The lab has developed a system to screen therapeutic molecules for a drug that can inhibit the action of CPEB in tumors while having few secondary effects on healthy cells. "There is no drug currently available that influences the regulation of gene expression at this level. Our findings open up a pioneering therapeutic window. We are optimistic about the potential of CPEB proteins as targets", says Méndez.
The action of CPEB proteins should be considered in the design of other therapeutic strategies
The study published in Nature includes a meticulous genomic analysis of RNA molecules that are processed in different ways depending on whether CPBE1 is present. The study provides a list of between 200 and 300 of such genes, that is to say, those that would have the region holding regulatory signals removed. This is precisely the region where microRNAs —small molecules regulating the translation of this RNA to protein— bind. "Many antitumor therapies attempt to interfere with microRNA binding, but we have now revealed that CPEB proteins remove these regions beforehand. The pharmaceutical companies that are developing anti- microRNA compounds will be able to predict whether their targets are suitable approaches or not", explains the scientist.
The study has involved the collaboration of the group led by Juan Valcárcel at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), an expert in RNA nuclear processing, and that of Roderic Guigó, an expert in biostatistics and also at CRG. This study received funding from the Consolider RNAreg consortium of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competition and the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia).

Taking a page from the less-than-wholly-successful playbook of fellow court-appointed receiver Irving Picard in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, Burton Wiand has sued a major bank for allegedly abetting the Arthur Nadel hedge fund fraud.
In a complaint filed yesterday, Wiand accused Wells Fargo of being "essential" to Nadel's $168 million Ponzi scheme. According to Wiand, Wachovia—acquired by Wells Fargo in 2008, just before Nadel's scam collapsed—allowed Nadel to set up shadow bank accounts for a decade, giving him the ability to siphon funds into his own accounts or those of his alleged partners.
"The bank turned its back on its responsibility under the law and allowed Nadel free rein to steal this money," Wiand lawyer Terry Smiljanich wrote. "He robbed these innocent victims blind, in some cases taking their entire life savings."
"Indeed, the ability to commingle funds across multiple accounts was a key element in the continuation and longevity of Nadel's fraud," Smiljanich wrote.
Smiljanich went on to question Wachovia's investment of $550,000 in two of Nadel's Scoop Management hedge funds. The bank redeemed $425,000 in profits just two months before the scheme fell apart. Although it has since handed that money over to Wiand, "it's awful suspicious they were able to pull this substantial amount of money right before it collapsed," Smiljanich told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
The lawyer also criticized Wachovia and a former vice president at the bank, Timothy Best, for missing or ignoring "clear indications of money-laundering activities."
Smiljanich said that Wiand would seek whatever portion of the $168 million lost in the scheme not otherwise recovered from Wells Fargo.
Nadel, who pleaded guilty to fraud, is serving a 14-year prison sentence.

Australian officials find $160M worth of meth hidden in kayaks shipped from China
In this Feb. 5, 2014 image provided by the Australian Federal Police, kayaks are stored at a warehouse in Sydney after police discovered methamphetamine hidden inside the kayaks. (AP / Australian Federal Police)
The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, February 12, 2014 12:31AM EST
SYDNEY, Australia -- Australian police seized about 180 million Australian dollars ($162 million) worth of methamphetamine hidden inside kayaks shipped from China, officials said Wednesday.
Five people were arrested in Sydney on Tuesday after customs officials discovered 183 kilograms of meth last week while inspecting a shipment of kayaks from China, the Australian Federal Police said. Nineteen of 27 kayaks in the shipment had bags of meth stuffed inside the watertight areas of the boats, said Tim Fitzgerald, regional director for the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
Four of the five people arrested are from Taiwan, and one is from Sydney. Two were charged with attempting to import drugs, and the others were charged with possessing a commercial quantity of drugs. They each face a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
Australian officials have made a series of major drug busts in recent months. In October, police seized about AU$200 million worth of meth hidden in the tires of a truck shipped from China.
