I am a 71 year old grandmother who grew up in the Roman Catholic Church, learning from the Baltimore Catechism, and who graduated from a Catholic college. I am, however, growing ever more concerned that some clerics ("Outspoken bishop to lead Baltimore Archdiocese," March 21) and politicians alike seem to be misusing the concept of religious freedom and minimizing or ignoring the concept of separation of church and state.
These concepts are two of the most important principles on which our country was founded — and for good reasons, I might add. Putting aside all of the rhetoric, I think these principles are not so complicated.
Religious freedom means every citizen of our country has the right to practice his or her religion. It does not mean that any one of us can force the tenets of our particular religion on any one else, no matter how much we might feel compelled to do so.
Separation of church and state means just that. The state cannot mandate any religious practices or beliefs for its citizens. The church (synagogue, mosque, etc.) cannot mandate any practices or beliefs for any citizens outside of its own membership.
I think sometimes Catholics and other Christians forget that there are adherents of other religions in our country who have the same rights that Christians have. For example, how would Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals and other Christians feel if Muslim religious leaders lobbied our political leaders to pass a law requiring all women to cover their heads and bodies with clothing in public? How would they feel if Seventh Day Adventist (one Christian group) or Jewish religious leaders lobbied for a law to make Saturday the Sabbath and to limit commerce on that day? How would they feel if Mormon church leaders or the leaders of any other religious group in our country lobbied for laws that would impact everyone regardless of their conflicting religious beliefs?
I believe it is time for religious leaders to respect separation of church and state and tend to their flocks. There should be plenty to keep them busy in a world where many people are struggling just to keep their heads above water.
It is also time for candidates and elected officials to respect the separation of church and state and turn their attention to the many critical challenges (foreclosures, federal, state and local budgets, education, environment, energy, you name it) facing all of us.

Paris doctors proved as intolerate as their American collages, they would not permit her to study as a doctor. Elizabeth was forced to enter a large miternity hospital as a student midwife. There she caught an infection which caused her to loose sight in her eye.
On her return to New York in 1850 when she was 29. Dr. Blackwell was not permited to practice in any hospital. Dr. Blackwell for her own and other womens' rights. The right she fought for the most was for women to be able to learn and practice medicine.
Elizabeth started the New York infirmary for women and children, aided by her sister Emily and other women who became doctors by several tolorant Quakers.
With her sister they opened a medical collage for woman in the hospital Dr. Blackwell wrote and lectured. She spoke a series of lectures that she delivered in England in 1859 when she was 38.

Estadísticas de Viento para Isla Uvita, Promedio de Otoño desde 2006
The graph illustrates how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical northern hemisphere autumn. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with dark blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 8723 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Isla Uvita, located 1 km away (1 miles). There are insufficient recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Without question some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.
According to the model, the prevailing wind at Isla Uvita blows from the NE. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Isla Uvita. By contrast, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more deep blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average northern hemisphere autumn, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 56% of the time (51 days each northern hemisphere autumn) and blows offshore 72% of the time (56 days in an average northern hemisphere autumn). In a typical northern hemisphere autumn winds exceeding >40kph (25mph) are not expected, but 0 have winds on the range 30-40 (19-25) at Isla Uvita
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

I have been looking forward to posting these shadow shots up today. They were taken earlier this week on a trip to the beach. The sky was such a beautiful blue and the way the clouds were dancing in the sky, it was as if they were following the sun as it disappeared below the horizon. It really was magical.
The boy had fun in the shadows too :)

Walking miracles: They promise to help treat everything from diabetes to poor circulation, but do the new generation of health shoes live up to the hype?
By Lucy Elkins
Last updated at 10:52 AM on 10th August 2010
When Hollywood actresses Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kirsten Dunst stepped out in Worishofer sandals – said to help with bunions – they caused something of a stir.
After all, corrective shoes are meant to be clumpy and unattractive. In fact, Worishofer is one of a growing number of trendy footwear ranges with apparent health benefits.
But are they any good? Podiatrist Michael Abrahams, of the London Nail Laser Clinic, gives his verdict.
Sensible: Maggie Gyllenhaal, left, and Kristen Dunst wearing Worishofer sandals
£40, scholl.co.uk
MAY HELP: Painful heels, knees and lower back
These look a bit like flip-flops with a strap.The key to this design is on the inside – one side of the shoe is higher. This is to help prevent the foot rolling over and in; unsupportive shoes, hard surfaces or wear and tear can make the problem worse, resulting in fallen arches.
An unsupported arch can also mean the foot and leg are no longer in proper alignment, causing aches and pains.
EXPERT COMMENT: Fallen arches can cause knock-on problems as every time you take a step one side of the foot slides inwards more than normal, putting excess tension on the thigh, leg and lower back.
A lot of leg pain is due to fallen arches. These shoes will stop the foot rotating inward so much. They also have a solid strap which means the feet won't slide around as with conventional flip-flops.
However, some people just never get used to flip-flops of any kind.
£38, cosyfeet.com, 01458 447275
MAY HELP: Swollen feet
These fabric shoes are super-wide – fitting up to EEEEE+ – and there are also extension pieces available. They're made without internal seams, which means there's less risk of chafing thin skin on the feet.
EXPERT COMMENT: These will be good for people with swollen feet, such as those with arthritis. The lack of seams will also mean they're suitable for diabetics whose skin is often thin on the feet.
The fabric won't offer much protection from bumps and cuts, which is important for diabetics as nerve damage means reduced sensation and problems with wound healing – having solid protection around their feet is important.
Although these are very roomy they might be too wide for some; the foot will slip around, which could cause rather than solve problems.
£89.99, fitnessfootwear.com
MAY HELP: Plantar fasciitis, aching joints
These shoes are designed to simulate walking on soft ground, said to ease the stress on joints; promote correct posture and strengthen the leg, buttock, back and abdominal muscles.
They have a soft foam insert running between the sole and the footbed – the part of the shoe the foot rests on – to provide extra cushioning. The sole is thinner towards the toe and thicker towards the heel, to help produce a rolling motion from heel to toe.
EXPERT COMMENT: Every time you take a step you put a strain of three to four times your body weight on your joints – more if you're doing high impact exercise.
These thick soles will reduce that impact, helping with aching legs or knee pain, for example.
They may also help with plantar fasciitis – when the band of tissue running from the heel along the sole to the toes becomes inflamed. This can occur as a result of repeated tension from flat feet, the way you walk, even trauma.
These shoes, in effect, work like an insole, supporting the foot.
£55, lovethoseshoes.com, 0161 975 5380
MAY HELP: Bunions, aching joints
Shoes designed by a German podiatrist to support the foot and reduce strain on the joints and back.
The footbed is lined with leather to allow the feet to breathe. There is cork between the footbed and the sole to absorb shock and reduce impact on the joints. The adjustable strap means they can be adapted to pretty much any width of foot fit, hence their apparent suitability for bunions.
EXPERT COMMENT: If you have a bunion then your big toe joint sticks out from the side.
If you have a strap across, you can adjust it to fit. But you will still be pushing your feet in as much as possible to make them fit snugly, which can put pressure on the bunion. So these might suit people with slight bunions. They could potentially aggravate more pronounced bunion joints.
The thicker heel provides shock absorption so may help reduce strain on the back and legs.
£29, beechsandals.co.uk
MAY HELP : Bunions, Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis, aches
Flip-flops with a difference, these have four toe-separators – by spreading the toes and realigning the feet they are said to help bunions, plantar fasciitis, joint pain and poor posture.
EXPERT COMMENT: I sometimes recommend these to patients with Morton's neuroma, a swelling on the nerves between the toes which occurs often as a result of wearing narrow shoes that squeeze toes together.
The dividers keep the toes apart, so reduce the swelling. They would be good for bunions, as there is nothing to press on the big toe joint and they have the extra straps to help them hold the foot. They offer some support, too.
£49, lovethoseshoes, 0161 975 5380
MAY HELP: Poor circulation and to strengthen muscles
These make the wearer work harder with every step. The unusual platform puts you on a slight incline, forcing you to correct your balance; this is said to encourage the pumping action in the deep veins and make muscles work harder.
This apparently boosts circulation – useful for diabetics. The increased work on the muscles that happens as you walk in Tonewalkers also helps to reduce blood pressure, the makers claim.
EXPERT COMMENT: I don't think these would be good for diabetics, as there is little protection for the feet.
They may help with circulation, as the calf muscles would be working harder than normal. But I am also concerned these will cause a huge alteration to the normal gait, which can cause aches and pains.
They're also quite clumpy and people might fall. I can't see how these would help reduce blood pressure.
£65, lovethoseshoes.com, 0161 975 5380
MAY HELP: Back ache and tired feet
A less clumpy version of the clog, these have a wooden insole that supports the arch and relieves pressure in the legs and feet, according to the maker. The sole is slightly curved, creating a rocking motion which is said to encourage a smoother gait, improving posture and preventing back pain.
EXPERT COMMENT: The contours and design of the sole should support the arch of the foot and help reduce aches and pains that occur as a result of flat feet.
The thick sole will act as a shock absorber and the angle encourages a better gait, helping reduce stress on the joints. I also like the larger box area for the toe that would reduce the risk of compression.

MAY HELP: Diabetics
The Crocs Rx Cloud has been designed specifically for diabetics. The soft footbed, made of a lightweight resin-like material, provides underfoot cushioning, while the shoe allows for use of a heavy sock without creating any tightness or pressure points on the foot. The protective front toe cap and elevated heel rim also protect the foot.
EXPERT COMMENT: These are more enclosed than a normal Croc and have lots of space at the front for the toes. That makes them ideal for diabetics, who tend to have thin skin on their feet and often have a lack of sensation in their feet which means they can unwittingly hurt themselves.
The only down-side is some people may find their feet slip around slightly in these because they are so roomy – although this could be helped by wearing socks.
£45, footasylum.com
MAY HELP : Lower back pain, aching joints
These may look like ordinary flip-flops, but each part of the sole is a slightly different density – to maintain normal balance, legs have to work harder than normal. The manufacturer claims your legs work 16 per cent harder than in normal shoes, so they tone your legs as you walk.
They have a padded sole, which gives about 22 per cent more shock absorbency than regular shoes.
EXPERT COMMENT: These have a nice thick heel which will help reduce the impact on joints and may help with lower back pain in some. But if your aches and pains result from mechanical damage in your hip, for example, then these are unlikely to do anything to help ease your pain.
The thick sole and thick band around the top mean this is more supportive and a better option than a normal flip-flop and may help with aches and pains for some.
- A new implant has been developed to tackle the problem of flat feet. A trial at the University of Alicante found the device reduced pain. Most children are born with flat feet but usually grow out of it as ligaments strengthen. But some never develop an arch, and in severe cases surgery may be needed. Results from the trial show that an expanding screw-like device can help. Implanted through a small incision between the ankle and heel bone, the device has four 'fins' which open out to support the tissue, creating an artificial arch. Researchers said that most patients who led a sedentary lifestyle before surgery were able to take up more demanding sports after.

Article 12 of this year's Town Meeting Warrant will ask for $50,000 to have the town conduct a hydrology study.
Editor's Note: Throughout the month of April, the Press will take a look at some of the articles in the Dover Town Meeting Warrant.
Article 12 of this year's Town Meeting Warrant will ask for $150,000 to have the town conduct a hydrology study.
Sponsored by the Board of Health, the proposed study will give the town a better idea of how much water is being used by the town.
Speaking at the Warrant Committee's Open Hearing on March 19, Carol Chirico, a member of the town's Board of Health Water Resources Study Committee, said residents first became concerned about groundwater when 46 Springdale Ave. first came on the market, and a 40B development was proposed for the site.
Since the summer of 2017, the committee has gathered data to support several goals, including educate residents about the quality and quantity of their groundwater.
About 96 percent of Dover residents use water from either the Charles River and Neponset River aquifers; the remainder get their water from Walpole or Natick.
According to Chirico, 15 residential wells have already gone dry, and drillers have to go deeper and deeper to draw water. Some users are exceeding the state-mandated allowance of 65 gallons per person per day by as much as 100 percent; and the town has no conservation measures in case there's a drought, such as the one in the summer of 2016.
The proposed study would produce a GIS map of private and public wells in town, and install 15-20 monitoring wells (Dover currently has just one); the data would help the town better assess its water usage.
The Board of Health will present "Water Supply! A Discussion on Massachusetts and Dover Water Resources" on Tuesday, April 24, at 7 p.m. at the lower level of the Dover Town House.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be tested in several ways. The client may be asked to determine illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on exactly what is understood as the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific illness, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased noticeably.
It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye issue might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can signal the physician and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
Consequently, one's dependence on sight is emphasized when one faces a possible or momentary irreversible loss of this vital sense. When corrective measures are looked for, specific forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were established to motivate decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals should understand. Probably, the primary reason why this kind of eye surgery here has ended up being well accepted is because many of its cases had been effective.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be very risky.
In other words, a basic error might practically trigger an individual's life time loss of sight. Hence, it is crucial to think about numerous aspects prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right corrective step one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision however it does not necessarily indicate that it can provide you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily indicate they have perfect vision also.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the ideal eye surgery this website the way many people see it
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye may find more info be made in numerous methods. It needs to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem may have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can alert the client and the physician to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

About three novels later, you will realise almost all her novels have a set formula:
- The romance is always between thirty or forty-something young couples.
- Either or both of them have children in their teens.
- Needless to say, the-in-love couple have amazing bonds with their kids.
- They usually meet under unfortunate circumstances (like accidents or war), and when they take a break for coffee, they ask a simple-yet-loaded question. Like, "Did you always want to be a doctor?" or "Do you like what do you do?".
- Invariably, this line is always followed by "She wanted to know everything about him". Or he about her, as the case may be.
Since I started reading her books at an impressionable age of 13, whenever I tried to make conversation with someone, my mind would go - "She wanted to know everything about him (or her)" - she being me of course. It took me a long time to let go of the thought that my life is parallely being written into a novel and that I didn't have to give live mental commentary for everything happening in and around me.
I digress again, Fifteen years later, I still want to know everything about everyone. Of course, I don't go - "Tell me everything!". But when i ask, "How was your trip?" or "How was your weekend?" or the desperate "Anything else?", I expect a mind-blowing and spicy reply. More importantly, I expect details. I do not expect, "It was good" or "It was relaxing".
A more subtle corollary is, when I ask that, I expect everyone to want to know everything about me too. So, when these amazing 1-line insights into the trip or a weekend is not followed by "how was yours?", I die a little inside.

At a press conference last week, Charlie Williams, president of the T1 Coalition, laid out his organization's proposal for at least a short-term solution to the state's lack of funding for road and bridge maintenance.
T1's plan does not involve new money. In fact, it's the opposite —Williams and others who gathered at the Capital are pushing for old money.
Since 1990, the Mississippi Legislature has diverted approximately $300 million from monies collected from user fees under the 1987 Road Program — intended for road and bridge work — to the General Fund, the Budget Contingency Fund and other state agencies or localities. Williams and other officials gathered at the State Capitol news conference called for that money to be repaid to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT).
"This idea is not a new tax or user fee. It is simply allocating money for which it was originally intended," Williams said. "We understand that the Legislature has the authority to fund this program however they choose, and this is one idea."
Williams said the $300 million would serve to "bridge the gap" between now and 2016 when he hopes lawmakers would craft a comprehensive, long-term funding solution. It would also avoid trying to enact a permanent solution during an election cycle.
At the heart of the issue is the 18¢-per-gallon user fee established in 1987 to maintain the roads and bridges. Due to inflation, cars getting better gas mileage and other factors, the state is not currently collecting enough funding for road and bridge maintenance.
A Mississippi Senate task force recently wrapped up months of hearings and work without coming up with even a short-term answer.
Whether the Legislature will respond to the call for repayment of funds to MDOT is uncertain, but at least one House member is calling for his peers to act.
Rep. Robert Johnson III, a Democrat representing Adams, Claiborne and Jefferson counties and chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said, "This truly a public safety issue, an economic development issue. There are some things we can do short-term that does not involve taxes."
Both Williams and Johnson were quick to downplay criticism of the MDOT after a recent PEER report found a lack of transparency at the agency concerning appropriations for road and bridge maintenance. Williams said he believes MDOT is working on the issue and that PEER has said it is willing to review the matter in the coming months to ensure that MDOT is rectifying the problem.
"This is not a state agency issue," Johnson said flatly.
Blake Wilson, who heads the Mississippi Economic Council, shared results of electronic surveys taken during the MEC's Pathway to Progress Tour, part of its Mississippi Blueprint. Asked to rate the state's roads, only 1.2 percent of respondents rated them "excellent" while 15.38 percent responded "good." Nearly 19 percent rated the roads as "poor," the lowest ranking.
When asked how important transportation infrastructure is to economic development, 88.04 percent responded "very important," the highest ranking.
Wilson emphasized that when the 1987 program was enacted, Mississippi was last in the U.S. in four-lane highway accessibility. Today, the state ranks 16th and first in the South.
"Why would we give up our competitive advantage? Why would we want to give up ground we have gained?" he asked.
Wilson again stated that the MEC was planning on conducting a study of the state's transportation needs. Similar to the study MEC conducted on health care issues, Wilson promised a study costing "several hundreds of thousands of dollars" and taking months to complete.
"Today, we find Mississippi's economic development future and safety threatened by deteriorating roads and bridges. We look forward to working with the state's leadership and the Legislature to find a solution that will benefit all of our citizens," Williams said.

Feminine tattoo designs are a lot more intricate than men's tattoo designs; there is a lot more detail to fit into something which will be smaller. Choosing the right design is a very important process and shouldn't be rushed, I took over a year before I found the right design for me. The odds are very slim that if you rush finding a tattoo design that you will still like it in 5 years, make sure that you have picked the right one, if the right one isn't out there, either adapt one that you like or have one designed just for you. Have you given any thought to the position of your tattoo? Even though feminine lower back tattoos are the most popular at the moment, they are followed closely by breast and butt tattoos so if you are a little bit shy you may want to have a look in your area for a female tattooist, although the male tattooists have probably tattooed just about every part of a woman's body.
There are so many feminine tattoo designs that you might feel a little over whelmed by them all, the best way to choose is to already have an idea of what you want and search through those, otherwise you may end up with a spur of the moment design which you will hate in 12 months. There are so many beautiful feminine tattoos designs but some of the most popular ones involve combinations of butterfly fairy tattoos which can look extremely sexy and which can be enlarged without problem if desired.
With this in mind, it is specially important for females to not only select a suitable design but also to take particular car when choosing where to have the tattoo. The female skin tends to change more than a mans over the years and specially in particular areas. Apart from the aging effect on the skin a big change can occur during and following pregnancy. The skins elasticity will change, so it is advisable to think very carefully before deciding to have a tattoo in these areas.
Finding the right feminine tattoo designs is only half the battle, you need a hygienic studio and a tattooist with a reputation that you can trust, this can be done easily by word of mouth and recommendations from friends. A tattoo is an open wound for a short period and the risk of infection is high, follow any and all instructions for aftercare and keep the area clean and dry, also avoid sun bathing for at least 8 weeks.

Training Program
The objectives of the Cell Biology Training Program are met through several different mechanisms. Faculty/student interactions are promoted through biweekly journal clubs, a "Seminars in Cell Biology" series and the Van Liere Research Day. In addition to discussing state-of-the-art approaches in journal club, with faculty and seminar speakers, students have the opportunity to participate in hands on workshops in core facilities in the Health Sciences Center. This group also organized a regional cell biology meeting and established connections in the cell biology communities at Ohio University, Marshall University and the University of Kentucky.
This training program is designed to build upon didactic instruction received by the students in the first year curriculum in Biomedical Sciences. Concepts taught in the Foundations for Contemporary Biomedical Sciences and Cellular Methods courses form the base for the advanced concepts discussed in this training program. Participation in the Cell Biology Training Program may reap immediate benefits, e.g. providing insight for experimental design for ongoing research projects. The program will support a "student sabbatical" allowing students to spend 3 weeks at a lab at another institution to learn cutting edge technology not yet available at WVU. In the long term the program will provide important training for the further development of a career in science including opportunities to explore career alternatives, particularly for those with an interest in cell biology.
Journal Club:
We explore areas of interest and new technology through participation in a journal club where we spend a few weeks focused on subjects chosen by the students.
Examples of Topics include:
- Studying GTPase activation using FRET imaging
- Imaging real-time cell migration and invasion in C. elegans
- Live cell imaging of actin dynamics in hippocampal neurons
- Small animal imaging techniques
- Atomic force microscopy
- Stem cells
- Imaging techniques to overcome the diffraction limit - STED, PALM and iPALM
- Lgr5, wnt signaling and stem cells
- The uses of ultra sound imaging in cardiovascular and cancer research using small animal models.
Students invite and host seminar speakers doing exciting work in cell biology fields of interest. These experts bring new ideas and areas of imaging expertise to our program.
Past Speakers include:
David R. Sherwood, Ph.D.
Duke University
"Genetic analysis of development in C. elegans: modeling cell invasive behavior"
Donna J. Webb, Ph.D.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
"Imaging spine morphogenesis and synapse formation in hippocampal neurons"
Clare Waterman
Director, Cell Biology and Physiology Center National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute National Institutes of Health
"Integrating Actin Dynamics and Adhesion in cell migration"
Nick Barker
Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore
"Lgr5 stem cells in epithelial self-renewal and cancer"
Ronglih Liao
Brigham and Women's Hospital Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
"Cardiac Regeneration: Can we turn back time?"
Peter Friedl
Department of Genitourinary Medical Oncology - Research, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, Netherlands
"Intravital microscopy of collective cancer invasion and metastatic dissemination"
Our students have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops to gain experience in new imaging techniques.
Past Workshops include:
- Small Animal Imaging
- Visit the Animal Models & Imaging Facility to see our IVIS Lumina in action. Students will visualize orthotopic bioluminescent tumors and metastases in live mice.
Histology series: General introduction to histology and tissues; introduction to specific histology topics selected by the students - circulatory system, nervous system. The workshop includes three "hands on" microscope sessions studying histological specimens.
Neuropathology: Two workshops were led by Dr. Fahad Bafakih, Chief Resident in Pathology at the WVU School of Medicine. The first workshop was focused upon the pathology of cancer in the central nervous system and the second workshop covered the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Special thanks to Drs. Barb Ducatman, Kymberly Gyure and the Department of Pathology for providing access to the pathology teaching lab.
The students of the Cell Biology Training Program organized the inaugural Appalachian Regional Cell Conference held in 2012 in Charleston, West Virginia. They established contacts with students at Ohio University, Marshall University and the University of Kentucky, who shared an interest in Cell Biology. The students applied and received funding from the American Society for Cell Biology to defray the costs of the meeting. The inaugural meeting was very successful attracting 73 participants from the region. Students presented their research in podium and poster presentation. Dr. Vinay Pathak, Head of the Viral Mutation Section of the HIV Drug Resistance Program at the NCI, gave the keynote address.
Since the inaugural event, the students have organized four additional annual ARCC meetings. Dr. Alfred Goldberg from Harvard University was featured as the keynote speaker to the 5th annual ARCC.

Event Date:
Event Location:
- Phelps 5309
The Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Music: CISM Film Discussion Series join Professor Eric Prieto (French) and Rob Wallace (English) for a screening of "THREE TALES"--music by Steve Reich, video by Beryl Korot
Prieto and Wallace will briefly introduce the piece and lead a discussion after the screening.
"THREE TALES" (2002) is the second collaboration between composer Steve Reich and his wife, video artist Beryl Korot. In the style of their earlier piece, "THE CAVE" (1994), this work combines Reich's distinctive blend of acoustic instruments and sampled speech/sounds with Korot's video images, creating a unique musical and visual experience. The "three tales" of the title consists of footage of, and interviews and commenary about, three 20th Century events: The Hindenburg explosion, the atomic bomb tests on the Bikini Atoll, and the cloning experiment that produced Dolly the sheep. Each of these tales develop inerweaving philosophical, religious, and musical ideas in a dreamlike web of images and sound.
Refreshments will be provided.
This event is co-sponsored by CISM, IHC, and the College of Arts and Letters, and is held in conjunction with Professor Eric Prieto's Winter 2005 course, Music and Literature (FR 200K/CL 249).

The Premier League Title Race; Does anyone actually want to win it this year?
November 21, 2010 6 Comments
We all know by now that we can never write Manchester United off. 94th Minute winners and dodgy 1-0's will characterise their season as ever. A simple victory yesterday against Wigan has moved them level on points with Chelski at the top of the league, with Arsenal 2 points behind. All this without their best player for most of the season so far (see Pat's blog on Rooney's injury), and some pretty terrible defending throughout the season, has shown why Fergie is always there or there abouts come the end of the season.
But what about the new top 4 candidates? Or should we say, title challengers?Tottenham and Van der Vaart have shown a few times this year, not least yesterday against Arsenal, that they're serious about being 'in the mix' as Harry Redknapp calls it. Money Bags City have failed to impress so far but still find themselves 5th with a game in hand on 4th placed Bolton, meaning a win would take them to within a point of the Gooners. That leads me nicely on to Bolton, who surely can't be considered Title challengers, can they?! Johan Elmander has been in great form, and Owen Coyle has assembled a solid squad who actually play great football – what a transformation from Big Sam Allardyce and Gary 'the Gnome' Megson. With Tottenham at 6th also level with City and Bolton, a nice little chasers' pack is forming, and it will be fascinating to see where it finishes this year. I'd like to briefly play devil's advocate and suggest Sunderland aren't too far off either. When Darren Bent's back, I fancy him and Gyan to form a potent partnership up top. Watch this space.
Man U have been wasteful too often this season, drawing half of their games (7 of 14). Their away record has been surprisingly poor also; 1 win, 6 draws and 0 defeats. The stat that interests me the most about United though, is the fact that they are the only unbeaten team in the PL at this moment. Chelsea and Arsenal have both lost 4 games already, which is more defeats than Bolton (who have incredibly lost only 2 games), City (3) and Sunderland (2 also). The simple fact is, a draw gets you a point, and a loss gets you none. That's why United have kept themselves going at the top, they haven't had the sporadic defeats to the likes of Wigan, Sunderland, Spurs, and Birmingham etc that Arsenal and Chelsea have had. Let's not forget also, that Rooney's just coming back from injury. If/When he finds form again, United will be once again resurgent, and I bet we'll see far less draws from them.
Chelsea are a different side to the one that won the league by a point last season. 4 defeats this year, including their heaviest defeat since Roman Abramovic arrived on the scene (3-0 Sunderland), have shown a real frailty, something unheard of with this normally solid squad. Missing Lampard and Essien has been a nightmare for Chelsea, and you can see the difference in the midfield when they're not playing (although I've been impressed by Remires so far). The strength in depth seems to be missing this year, with an all-too-often average looking bench being taken to Premier League games. Fair play to them for pushing the young 'uns in, but they're not good enough replacements for old Michael Ballack and Deco. Inconsistency never wins the league, and at this stage, that's how it looks with this Chelsea side. Of course, they still sit top of the table and are waiting for the return of 2 of their best players. I'm not about to write them off just yet,
We know of course that all of the teams mentioned above want to win the title, despite freak results. It looks to me though, that United are the team of the top 3 who want it most. Under SAF, they have exactly the three characteristics I labelled before, even with a slight lack of form. They fight to the end, and as I said, you can never right them off.
Beyond the top 3, grouping an unlikely trio of Bolton, Man City and Spurs, I'd say Spurs want it more. I know 'Arry has talked up Spurs' title chances yesterday, but does he really believe they're good enough to be Champions? Why not. We've seen what they're capable of, domestic and European. It would also be foolish to write them off at this point in the year.
I can't discuss the title without mentioning Liverpool (see my previous post). A team-mate of mine yesterday said he thought 'Pool would sneak up the table whilst everyone gets carried away with the other 7 teams at the top. The poll on my previous post so far shows that the majority of readers believe they won't even make the top 6, let alone top 4 and beyond. I do think, as I said in that blog, that top 6 is beyond them this season, but an attractive victory against the Hammers will certainly restore some confidence to a team who are playing well below their station.
So, who actually wants to win it this season? United and Spurs look to be the most keen this season, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be there at the end. It's November, no-one can really predict at this stage who's got the league in the bag, (PaddyPower will encourage you to though) but if form continues as it has for the top 3, the league could really be anyone's.
What do you reckon? Surprise Champion this year? Or another Chelsea/United domination? Vote Now!

Kenny Wallace wins Russ Wallace Memorial dirt race
Tony Stewart wasn't the only NASCAR star having a good night on the dirt Friday night.
While Stewart racing back to Victory Lane at Tri-City Motor Speedway in Auburn, Mich., NASCAR on FOX analyst Kenny Wallace was competing in the third annual Russ Wallace Memorial at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill., against the likes of Ken Schrader, Austin and Ty Dillon, Justin Allgaier and more than 30 other dirt racers.
The event honors the memory of Russ Wallace, the patriarch of the Wallace brothers Rusty, Mike and Kenny. Before his three sons made their names in NASCAR's top three series, Russ Wallace was making the family name well-known on the dirt tracks of the Midwest. Russ passed away in 2011.
A prolific dirt racer, Kenny Wallace races at a variety of dirt tracks multiple times a week. However, winning Friday night's race honoring his father was truly a special moment. Also a prolific Twitter user, Wallace shared his moment last night with all of his followers.
WINNING Dads race tonight at @TriCity11 was great, But racing neXt to "Ray Walsh and Rusty Grifaw" for the win made the WIN🏁

In Algiers, the capital city of Algeria, an NGO called Djazair al Kheir, is working hard for African migrants and the homeless to help them celebrate the fasting month of Ramzan. Volunteers at this NGO have been the busiest during Ramzan, cooking at least a thousand free meals for the poor.
Dawud, cook and volunteer speaks to AFP and says, "This year, we're preparing 600 meals a day. 300 of them will be sent to the restaurant serving African migrants and 100 meals will go the the NGO's three other restaurants in Algiers. Those coming from African countries will get a special menu."
In order to function, the NGO relies on its volunteers. Last year, it saw an inflow of nearly 4000 volunteers. The work of some of these volunteers during this month entails going out at night to hand out food and water to the homeless so that they can have their Suhur, a pre-dawn meal which is eaten before fasting begins.

Review Summary
- Rooms are large, with flat-screen TVs and wood paneling
- Luxurious marble bathrooms have separate showers and tubs
- Convenient downtown location
- Quality French fare at the popular Tableau Bar Bistro
- Modern, bright fitness center
- Tiny but sophisticated spa with one-person infrared sauna
- 24-hour room service
- Free loaner bikes
- Fee for Wi-Fi
- Pricey valet parking
Bottom Line
This 77-room luxury boutique has a modern, stylish feel, with a glam lobby (think: velvet couches, dark wood ceilings, and a stunning black-and-white granite fireplace surround) and a popular French bistro. The large, sleek rooms may be the highlight, with subtle earth tones, floor-to-ceiling windows, and decadent marble bathrooms, but the Downtown Vancouver location is convenient as well. The only real downsides are the extra fees for valet parking and Wi-Fi.

On New Year's Day an organist was due to play for a service in northwest London at noon. At 9.36 a.m. he was a broken-down train outside Hastings, with little prospect of getting to his destination in time. So he sent an SOS to DepList from his mobile phone. Twenty minutes later he'd found a substitute able to deputise for him. He reported later that it was a very good organist too, well able to cope with the unusual liturgical demands of the church in question.
When DepList was launched back in 2000, mobile phones were by no means ubiquitous, and they certainly couldn't send and receive emails — unless you owned a Blackberry. The concept of emailing from a train belonged to the remote future. DepList was a way of quickly contacting lots of people without having to telephone them individually, but you had to be sitting at a computer screen at home or at work to do this. Jobs took days or at best hours to fill, not minutes. In those early days, many members did not own a mobile phone and relied on landlines, answering machines and PC-based emails. Since then, advances in technology have worked very much in DepList's favour without us having to do very much. DepList is far more useful now than when it first started. And it's stories like this one that make it worth the effort of keeping DepList alive and relevant.

An Arizona family that suffered serious injuries after their car was struck by a wrong-way drunk driver serves as a reminder of the lasting effects of a DUI collision.
Chance Molzan and her mother are just now recovering from their injuries one year after the accident. Molzan's hands were severed in the collision and her leg was broken. Her mother is still struggling with her traumatic brain injury, according to Phoenix's KSAZ-TV.
If the Molzan family decide to file a civil lawsuit against the DUI driver, what kind of damages could they recover?

July 29 & 30, 2016 jailhouse interviews with Attorney Patrick Walsh.
Free Matt Sopron is a website dedicated to supporting the efforts of the Sopron Family to see their son Matt Sopron returned home.
Matt is currently serving a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit. While Matt is ineligible for parole those directly tied to the crime will be eligible for parole in 2020. This reality makes one question the level of justice at work in our court systems.
Help bring Matt home by getting involved and signing our petition at Change.org!
Matt Sopron is now 41 years old. He was born and raised in Chicago's Southwest side. He has a younger brother Michael and an older sister Michelle.Read More->

With the dust beginning to settle following the initial shock of the EU referendum result, financial institutions are turning to consider in earnest the practical steps that need to be taken to protect their businesses in anticipation of the strong likelihood that the UK will, at some point over the coming years, cease to be part of the EU (and, indeed, the wider EEA).
Various claims have been made in the media – including by very senior economists – concerning the future availability of single market passporting rights to UK-based financial institutions. Many of these claims have involved over-generalisation of this complex area, and have consequently been misleading or even inaccurate. Given the very great importance to UK financial institutions of their passporting rights, this level of confusion is unhelpful.
In this article, we explain the legal framework for the passporting regime in respect of financial services under the single market Directives and assess what the future landscape might look like, focussing upon:
- What are the various EU Directives under which passporting rights are established in respect of the main categories of financial services activities?; and
- What is the position of "third country" firms (which the UK is very likely to become) in respect of passporting rights under each Directive?

Service Level Agreement
Enterprise Chef is available to you both behind your own firewall and also hosted by Chef ("Hosting Service"). Our commitment to your success is the same, no matter which platform you choose.
Hosting Service for Enterprise Chef
The Hosting Service will be available to you 99.9% of the time in a given billing cycle. If we fail to meet this level, you will be eligible to receive a credit to your account. Credit will be granted according to Table 1. In order to receive any of the Service Credits referred to above, you must notify Chef in writing within thirty days from the date of the billing notification for the month in question. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit your right to receive a Service Credit.
Monthly System Availability Monthly Service Credit Provided < 99.1% – 99.9% 10% < 99.0% – 95.1% 15% < 95% 50% Table 1, Chef Service Credits(not to exceed 50% of monthly amount owed to Chef)
Chef considers the Hosting Service available when all the API calls required to successfully complete a Chef Client run are available, as reasonably determined by Chef. In the event of any customer support issue, if analysis determines that Chef is the cause of a customer's issue it will be counted against our Service Level Objective of 99.9% monthly system availability. For avoidance of doubt, any "Incident" will not count against our Service Level Objective. "Incident" means, generally, assistance from Chef for help beyond basic understanding of Chef products, services or features and functionality. An "Incident" is; (i) detailed analysis of customer written Chef code; (ii) debugging non-Chef libraries, gems, etc.; (iii) issues caused by Customer's Unauthorized Use. For purposes of illustration only, the following are examples of services and support that would not constitute an Incident: (i) Software bugs; (ii) issues with data/fields; (iii) feature requests; (iv) basic Chef assistance seeking to understand Chef products, services or features and functionality.

World Boxing Council president Don Jose Sulaiman has confirmed that No.1 ranked Denver Cuello will finally get his mandatory title shot against China's Xiong Zhao Zhong in China, sometime in July.
Sulaiman said he was not certain about the date or the venue for the fight although he said it would be in one of the largest cities in China.
His brief interview was seen on You Tube.
The Cuello-Zhong title fight will be the second such event on mainland China.
Mexico's Juan Francisco Estrada won the WBO/WBA titles when he beat Brian Viloria in Macau, China, last April 6 .
Sulaiman disclosed that they expect 200 million viewers of the fight on the free television networks in China surpassing the 130 million who watched Zhong win the title with a twelve round unanimous decision over Mexzico's Javier Martinez Resendiz in Kunming last November 24.
The Chinese world champion was scheduled to face Nicaragua's Carlos Ortega but that fight was cancelled, according to Sulaiman and Zhong will now defend his title against mandatory challenger Cuello.
Sulaiman noted that Cuello who is managed and trained by Aljoe Jaro "has been waiting for the opportunity for almost a year after stepping down to allow Zhong to fight for the vacant title against Javier Rezendiz.
The WBC board of governors at its convention in Cancun granted Zhong a voluntary defense before hie mandatory defense against Cuello but that fight was cancelled and Sulaiman revealed Zhong will go ahead with his mandatory defense against the hard-hitting Filipino southpaw.
Sulaiman said the Chinese people are "very interested" in seeing the Zhong-Cuello title fight even as the WBC president said he expects "the best man to win."
He said the WBC wants to support China which is the largest country in the world even as he added "the WBC has great expectations for boxing in China and we are very proud that the WBC staged the first world title fight in China."
The 30 year old Zhong has a record of 20-4-1 with 11 knockouts while nthe 26 year old Cuello has a record of 33-4-6 with 21 knockouts.
In his last tune-up fight Cuello won a ten round majority decision over Japan's Takashi Kunishige in Osaka. Cuello previously won nthe vacany WBC Silver title with a 1st round TKO of Carlos Perez on October b15, 2011 in Mexico and followed it up mwith a 2nd round TKO over fancied Ganigan Lopez also in Mexico on May 19, 2012 which earned Cuello the right to face Zhong.

Fuk me, where's the rest of the club gone?
Half of the car park is now filled with a block of quite smart looking flats, the stage isn't where it used to be and the whole club looks like it has been levelled, built again half the size and the whole thing moved a bit to the left.
Sold out!
Funnily enuff, last time we were here, the committee said 'You won't be back here again!'
Oh, OK so...where do you want us to set up?
It was something to do with us sitting outside the concert room taking peoples tickets.
Two years since we played here and it was a good un.
Dave theorised that the reason for this was the new buildings had most probably drawn some new interest.
Rich agreed that the overall aesthetic of the club lent it a very clean almost hospital/office like appeal, which would no doubt entice the inhabitants of the posh new flats.
Chappie argued that on the grounds of it being a relatively long abstinence, how could we possibly conjugate that conclusion as we never remember the people we meet anyway.
Ralph quickly berated him, winning the argument by raising his voice and shouting down this incredulous outburst, making Pauls input appear too weak and stupid to take seriously.
Shaun was quick to enter the debate, re-iterating that we are just a bunch of talentless tw@ts who enjoy nothing more than having a good laff and, this is perceived by the audience - via the medium of performance - endearing us to both intellectuals and neanderthals alike.
Joolz stipulated it was time he had a photo taken on his mobile fone...of himself!
I sat back and asked wot the fuk everyone had been drinking.
Skeggy said he'll get us back!

Mem. ASME
Department of Mechanical, Industrial
and Systems Engineering,
University of Rhode Island,
Kingston, RI 02881
e-mail: email@example.com
Contributed by the Dynamic Systems Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS, MEASUREMENT, AND CONTROL. Manuscript received April 20, 2017; final manuscript received November 15, 2017; published online December 22, 2017. Assoc. Editor: Yunjun Xu.
This paper addresses the problem of leader-following consensus control of general linear multi-agent systems (MASs) with diverse time-varying input delays under the integral quadratic constraint (IQC) framework. A novel exact-memory distributed output-feedback delay controller structure is proposed, which utilizes not only relative estimation state information from neighboring agents but also local real-time information of time delays and the associated dynamic IQC-induced states from the agent itself for feedback control. As a result, the distributed consensus problem can be decomposed into H∞ stabilization subproblems for a set of independent linear fractional transformation (LFT) systems, whose dimensions are equal to that of a single agent plant plus the associated local IQC dynamics. New delay control synthesis conditions for each subproblem are fully characterized as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A numerical example is used to demonstrate the proposed approach.

Announcing the Launch of Our Report: The Architecture of Innovation
By Dr. Hollie Russon Gilman, Fellow, Beeck Center + Massive Data Institute; and Jessica Gover, Research Associate
October 6, 2016
Technology is transforming how we live our lives—from new solutions in health, education, defense, and beyond. The private sector provides user-centric, digital, customer-oriented solutions—in real time. We should expect the same from government. The government needs to evolve to keep up with these rapid changes in technology and data use. We need a government that is nimble and adaptive to change. More importantly, we need to create a culture within government that allows for a culture of innovation that leads to outcomes. At the same time, innovation—new technologies, data, and partnerships—have also triggered a need for rapid change in governance and public policy. With the election only a month away, the next president has the opportunity to pivot—to adopt a governance structure that proactively drives change and delivers results.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the release of our latest publication, "The Architecture of Innovation: Institutionalizing Innovation in Federal Policymaking," produced in partnership with The Massive Data Institute at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy. The report provides recommendations for how the next administration can pilot, iterate, and scale innovative approaches to more effectively serve the needs of the American people. "The Architecture of Innovation" offers recommendations for how government can structurally organize for change at the highest levels to not only adapt and meet the challenges of today, but also anticipate and meet the needs of tomorrow.
We are launching the report today at our Fall convening, Data for Social Good: Innovation in the Next Administration. The report launch will be bookended by a fireside chat retrospective on innovation in the Obama Administration and a panel discussing innovation in past, present, and future administrations.
As presidential transition teams on both sides are building out their plans for the next administration, they have an unprecedented opportunity to maximize and grow the strides made by the Obama administration to create impactful change. For federal policymaking to create lasting outcomes, we believe that creating a holistic culture of innovation in government is the key to solving some of our biggest civic challenges. We hope that our report and today's convening will provide a helpful roadmap as to best organization for innovation in government for 2016 and beyond.
We would love to hear your thoughts on the report. Please share your responses on Twitter at #Data4SocialGood, or email us at email@example.com.

In the late 2000's the world faced a Global Financial Crisis that caused a drop in demand for consumer electronic products as well as financial problems for manufacturers. The economic troubles led many original component manufacturers (OCM's) to issue end-of-life notices for many of the parts that they built. In the three months following the collapse of the Lehman Brothers bank, electronics manufacturers EOL notices increased by nearly 300%. 2009 was even worse with the number of EOL notices increasing by 1000%.
When the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) legislation came into action in 2006 many OEM's were forced to change the materials used in their products. Older components that did not meet the new guidelines were no longer useful and so therefore became obsolete. Rory King, Director of global product marketing at IHS, stated, "Many OEM's are sitting there with entire bills of material with literally thousands of parts which they had no idea were subject to unforeseen EOL or other supply chain disruptions." With RoHS 2.0 due to come into affect in 2014, this process is likely to repeat itself.
At present the life cycle of electronic components is shortening and component manufacturers are issuing last time buys (LTBs) more regularly. OEM's will therefore have to forecast and estimate what they will need before the part becomes obsolete.
Unfortunately there is no end in sight for obsolescence in the electronic components industry and even the most efficient OEM's will sometimes be left with excess stock for which they have no further use, however this does not necessarily mean that the stock is worthless although it may be costly to keep. By getting rid of your excess inventory you can save warehousing costs while at the same time can offer your business an instant cash injection.
It is a big world out there and there can quite often be someone looking for the parts you have in your inventory. If you have obsolete parts that are in demand you could recover even more from your inventory with consignment.
Trading Specialists are already the partner of choice for some of the worlds largest component and equipment manufacturers. We work with you to create a tailor made solution for your obsolete and excess stock, all backed up by our global distribution network.
To learn more about consignment or how to sell your electronic component inventory please follow the links.

Augusta Optometrist Pleads Guilty To Health Care Fraud Case
AUGUSTA, GA: JEFFREY SPONSELLER, 47, of Augusta, Georgia pleaded guilty today before United States District Court Judge J. Randal Hall to submitting over $800,000 in fraudulent claims to Medicare.
Evidence presented at today's guilty plea hearing showed that SPONSELLER, an optometrist and an owner of Eye Care One, located at 3152 Washington Road in Augusta, Georgia, submitted claims to Medicare for payment for eye examinations of nursing home patients. Instead of billing Medicare for the actual service he was providing at the nursing homes, SPONSELLER claimed that he was conducting the most expensive type of eye examination which typically lasts 45 minutes. An example of this health care fraud presented at today's guilty plea hearing involved a July 27, 2009 visit by SPONSELLER to a nursing home in Americus, Georgia where SPONSELLER billed Medicare for 177 patients that he claimed to have examined individually for 45 minutes each during that one-day visit. As a result this type of fraudulent billing, Medicare paid SPONSELLER for that type of eye exam more than any other doctor in the United States in 2009.
United States Attorney Edward J. Tarver said, "Health care fraud is a cancer on the financial health of our nation. In many cases, such as with this Defendant, it is committed by professionals who are well educated and highly regarded. Whether that fraud is perpetrated by an optometrist willing to claim that he worked the equivalent of 5½ days during a one-day visit to a nursing home – like this defendant did – or a medical equipment supplier that bills Medicare without authorization, the ultimate injury is to the American taxpayer. The United States Attorney's Office and its law enforcement partners will actively pursue those who abuse our country's health care programs for financial gain."
Derrick L. Jackson, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General for the Atlanta region, said, "Any time false claims are submitted for payment, our nation's health insurance programs and beneficiaries suffer. Protecting precious Medicare funds remains a top priority for the Inspector General and our law enforcement partners."
SPONSELLER faces a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000, in addition to paying restitution. The date for SPONSELLER's sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.
FBI Special Agents Paul Kubala and Jason Gustin, U.S. Attorney's Office Investigator Kimberly Reinken, HHS-OIG Special Agent David Graupner, and IRS Special Agents Roger Garland and Jeffrey Hale participated in the investigation of this case. Assistant United States Attorney David Stewart is prosecuting in this case. For additional information, please contact First Assistant United States Attorney James D. Durham at (912) 201-2547.
