Steroids case dropped in Florida
Lawyers for pharmacy file memos in Albany, Orlando addressing issues in case
Published 12:00 am, Wednesday, December 29, 2010
Federal prosecutors in Florida have ended their years-long criminal investigation of an Orlando pharmacy whose operators also were targeted in a related investigation by the Albany County district attorney's office and several other law enforcement agencies, according to court records.
In memorandums filed in Albany on Monday, and also on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Orlando, lawyers for the operators of Signature Compounding Pharmacy said federal prosecutors in Florida recently notified them in writing that their office had "closed the matters previously pending against Signature Pharmacy."
The memorandum filed in Florida by Signature's attorney, Amy Tingley of Orlando, relates to the federal government's failed efforts to use evidence that had been seized from the pharmacy during a multi-agency police raid in February 2007. Last June, a federal judge in Florida ordered federal authorities to return the evidence, including pharmaceutical drugs and business records, because the judge said the U.S. Attorney's office had improperly obtained it from state law enforcement authorities.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Orlando filed an appeal of the judge's ruling but later abandoned the appeal and made arrangements to return the pharmacy's property.
More Information
Tingley said in an e-mail she was "not available to comment."
U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell, who ordered the federal government to return Signature's property, also is presiding in a related federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Signature's operators against Albany County District Attorney David Soares, an assistant district attorney and the Orlando Police Department, which initiated the investigation of Signature pharmacy more than four years ago.
The pharmacy's operators claim in the lawsuit that their rights were violated and their business and reputations destroyed by what they have characterized as a malicious prosecution and their unlawful arrests.
For more than four years the once-bustling Orlando pharmacy has been in the cross-hairs of various law enforcement agencies. Police and prosecutors alleged the pharmacy was a pipeline for illicit prescription drugs, including steroids and human growth hormone that were being used by professional athletes and others.
Still, the decision by federal prosecutors in Orlando to abandon their probe of the pharmacy's operators may not be the end of their legal troubles. In Rhode Island, federal prosecutors have implicated Signature pharmacy in a case in which human growth hormone allegedly was being smuggled from China to the United States for distribution.
The role of the Florida pharmacy in the Rhode Island case was highlighted in a partially sealed criminal case against Victor Martin Effron, an Orlando businessman who pleaded guilty last year to smuggling charges. Effron's plea agreement and sentencing were partially sealed because of his cooperation in the ongoing investigation.
Signature Pharmacy is identified in Effron's court case by name and also as "pharmacy X." Two Florida physicians, Gary Brandwein and Claire Godfrey, who pleaded guilty to felony criminal charges in Albany related to prescriptions they wrote through Signature pharmacy, also are identified in Effron's criminal case.
In Albany, attorneys for Signature's operators on Monday filed a memorandum challenging Albany County prosecutors' appeal seeking to regain control of their office's criminal case against the pharmacy. The legal action relates to a decision last month by Albany County Judge Stephen W. Herrick to dismiss a 33-count indictment against the pharmacy's operators. The judge also appointed a special prosecutor, saying Soares' office has a conflict because of the pending civil rights lawsuit. A state appelate judge has issued an order temporarily staying Herrick's ruling.
John Casey, an attorney for the pharmacy's owners, said in a memorandum that the district attorney's challenge of the dismissal "is a veiled attempt to undermine Judge Herrick's appropriate exercise of his judicial authority to appoint an impartial prosecutor to reinstate the integrity of the criminal process as it pertains to this matter."
Stanley and Naomi Loomis, who were Signature's husband-and-wife owner-operators, were identified along with three other Signature managers as the primary targets of Albany County prosecutors' multistate drug investigation that drew national attention.

Hellas Verona starlet Juan Iturbe left Porto because "he had no chance of playing" and had problems with the club hierarchy.
The young Argentine has been a revelation since joining on loan with option to buy and helped newly-promoted Verona to fourth place in Serie A.
"Everyone knows why Iturbe didn't play at Porto, but he will be the one to tell you as soon as the season comes to an end," agent Augusto Paraja told Antena 1.
"President Pinto da Costa is one of the best in the world and I have nothing against him, whereas I prefer not to talk about director general Antero Henrique.
"The player will give his response on the field. Iturbe can make the difference at any club and his worth was never in doubt.
"Unfortunately at Porto he had no chance of playing."
Iturbe is expected to start tonight's game against Inter, click here for a match preview.

After getting the full tour treatment from museum president Bob Kendrick, who spun fascinating yarns about Satchel Paige and the other greats who preceded him generations ago, Kemp was handed a couple of parting gifts.
In an impromptu presentation preceding a dissertation on hitting by Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, Kendrick handed Kemp the museum's 2011 Oscar Charleston Legacy Award as the Major League player of the year, and the Josh Gibson Award as the premier home run hitter in the National League.
Playing in the NL, Kemp has rarely visited Kansas City, and he was unable to attend the museum's annual Legacy Awards ceremonies following last season.
"This is unbelievable," Kemp said. "I really appreciate it. It's amazing to be here.
"Stew, my agent, and my dad told me I needed to check this [museum] out. It's amazing to know what they had to go through, to know [about] some of the great Negro League players who probably could have done amazing things in the Major Leagues.
"I want to thank God for having this opportunity -- and thank you guys for supporting baseball."
Kemp, voted by fans into the National League's starting lineup for Tuesday night's All-Star Game, decided not to play after consulting with the Dodgers. He had no luck as the NL captain in Monday night's State Farm Home Run Derby at Kauffman Stadium, showing some rust and going deep only once.
Kemp has not returned to the Dodgers' lineup since the recurrence of a hamstring strain sent him to the disabled list for a second time on June 1. He is expected to resume his place in center field and in his No. 3 spot in the Dodgers' lineup after the All-Star break.
Kemp is hitting .355 with 12 homers, 28 RBIs and a .719 slugging percentage through only 36 games. In 2011, he led the NL in homers (39), RBIs (126), total bases (353) and runs (115), batting .324. He finished second in the NL Most Valuable Player voting to the Brewers' Ryan Braun.
"Matt Kemp walked in today with my old friend, Dave 'Smoke' Stewart," Kendrick said. "We've seen Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Dave Winfield at the museum the past few days.
"It's been an incredible five days at the museum."

Posh reject Mackail-Smith bids
Peterborough's director of football Barry Fry insists that Craig Mackail-Smith is going nowhere.
By Chris Galea
Last Updated: 15/07/09 12:00pm
Peterborough United's director of football Barry Fry insists that Craig Mackail-Smith is going nowhere after the club rejected three bids for the in-demand striker.
Mackail-Smith has scored 43 goals in 97 appearances for the Posh since joining in January 2007 for a bargain fee of £125,000 from Dagenham & Redbridge.
He has previously been linked with the likes of Celtic and Fry confirmed the 25-year-old has again attracted interest during the summer.
"We've had three clubs in for Craig Mackail-Smith during the summer transfer window and we have turned down all three of them," Fry told skysports.com.
"We are not interested in selling him. Everyone has got a price in this game, but those three bids were nowhere near our valuation of him."
Injury worry
Mackail-Smith has been struggling with a groin injury and was sent to Manchester United's training ground for scans on the problem last weekend.
The forward is not giving up hope of being fit for the opening game of the season against Derby County on 8th August and Fry admits it would be a blow to be without him.
He added: "He was in the training camp at Spain last week and he had a scan yesterday, so we will have to wait and see what that reveals.
"He played with the injury for the majority of last season and it didn't stop him running about and scoring goals, but we'll be absolutely gutted if he is unavailable for the start of the season."
Fry also revealed that fellow striker Scott Rendell almost left London Road this week, after the club accepted a bid from Blue Square Premier outfit York City, but the former Cambridge United man turned down the move.
"We've accepted a deal for Scott Rendell from York City, but he has turned it down. We also accepted a bid for Rene Howe, but he also rejected the move.
"There are four or five clubs still interested in Shane Blackett and Danny Blanchett is on trial with Port Vale, but I've not spoke to Micky Adams since he played for them last week. There are a few opportunities for some of them to move on, but they haven't as yet."

HTC readies Android 4.1 Jelly Bean updates for One XL and One S
According to Telstra (Australia's largest mobile carrier), HTC is currently "preparing" Android 4.1 Jelly Bean updates for its One XL and One S smartphones. Unfortunately, HTC didn't provide any launch dates for the updates, but let's hope customers won't have to wait too long.
Of course, it's no surprise that the One S and One XL (which is similar to AT&T's One X, but has different LTE bands) are going to get Jelly Bean. HTC has previously mentioned that it would bring the new version of Android to a variety of its devices – and the One series has to be included here.
Other HTC smartphones that will most likely get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean include: HTC Sensation (and its variations), HTC Rezound, HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE, HTC Evo 4G LTE, and HTC Velocity.

Linux Mint is a GNU/Linux distribution to which I have witnessed a great deal of respect. It is a solid operating system that comes with a desktop environment of its own (though it is based on Gnome Shell & its applications) and when it comes to usability & control, it really puts the users at the top.
So as soon as Linux Mint 15 'Olivia' got officially released, I downloaded it and as usual, ran few tests, took few measurements, and came up with this review. Linux Mint has two flavors, featuring 'Cinnamon' (1.8) & 'MATE' (1.6) desktop environments. This review is based on the 'Cinnamon' edition.
But please remember that I will not be able go through all the slight changes, but will mention some of the easily visible changes of the desktop & 'Nemo' (file manager). Then towards the end, I will also present you with performance based statistics that I have gathered as well.

(March 20, 2009) BOSTON — The SMTA Boston Chapter will cohost a technical presentation with IMAPS on April 21, preceding the opening of the SMTA Boston Academy, April 22-23. SMTA/IMAPS will present "Manufacturing & Reliability Challenges with QFN Packages in Pb and Pb-Free Environments," with speaker Cheryl Tulkoff, CRE, senior member of the technical staff at DfR (Design for Reliability) Solutions. The Boston Academy will include seven courses on SMT, packages and components, PCBs, and lead-free and REACH.
In "Manufacturing & Reliability Challenges with QFN Packages in Pb and Pb-Free Environments," presented at Textron Defense Systems in Wilmington, MA. One of the fastest growing package types in the electronics industry today is the quad flat pack no lead (QFN), comprising an overmolded leadframe with bond pads exposed on the bottom and arranged along the periphery of the package. While the advantages of QFNs are well documented, DfR Solutions considers QFN as a next-generation technology for non-consumer electronic OEMs due to concerns with manufacturability, compatibility with other OEM processes, and reliability. QFN acceptance, especially in long-life, severe-environment, high-rel applications, is currently limited. This presentation is designed to review the specific concerns in relation to design and process designs by CMs and OEMs and provide possible mitigations or solutions to allow the reliable introduction of QFN packaged components. Cheryl Tulkoff has over 15 years of experience in electronics manufacturing with an emphasis on failure analysis and reliability. She has worked in both circuit card fabrication and assembly and semiconductor fabrication processes. Tulkoff earned her bachelor of mechanical engineering degree from Georgia Tech. She is a published author, experienced public speaker and a senior member of ASQ and IEEE. She volunteers with several organizations specializing in encouraging pre-college students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Attend the presentation at Textron Defense Systems, 201 Lowell Street, Wilmington, MA, (978) 657-5111. All attendees MUST be US Citizens. Pre-registered attendees, please bring driver's license; late (non-pre-registered) attendees must bring a passport or birth certificate to attend this SMTA/iMAPs meeting.
The SMTA Boston Academy will be held in Boston April 22–23, in conjunction with Electronics New England, including Nepcon East.
SMT Editorial Advisory Board member S. Manian Ramkumar, Ph.D., will teach "SMT Process Fundamentals for Tin-Lead, Lead-Free, and Mixed Assembly." The course covers SMT and mixed assembly processes, such as PCB types, assembly methods, component types, defects, troubleshooting, and process control. It is an introductory course with a comparison of leaded and lead-free processes, and tips for equipment and materials evaluation. Ramkumar also will teach "Advanced Component Packages and Processes," covering terminology, classification, construction, and assembly of packages. Embeddeds, QFNs, package-on-package (PoP), BGAs, CSPs, CGAs, flip chips, WLPs, and other advanced packages will be discussed.
Nathan Blattau, Ph.D., DfR Solutions, will give "Next Generation Technologies in Electronic Packaging and Production," a course that deals with selection, review, and validation of new technologies. It helps attendees sort through the confusing and fragmented product data available to identify useable packaging, PCB, thermal management, and circuit assembly technologies; and discusses how to implement them. It targets design personnel, and reliability and product engineers. Blattau also will teach "The Reality of Lead-free Reliability," on RoHS, components, tin whiskers, solderability platings, PCB robustness, and other risks of lead-free assembly.
Andrew Mawer, Freescale Semiconductor, will present "Common Failure Modes in Electronic Packages and Assemblies and How to Avoid Them." The class will cover component-level and second-level interconnect failure modes, as well as those experienced in-operation and at the system level. Soldering is the focus. Mawer also will teach "Construction, PCB Design, and Assembly of BGA and Leadless Packages for Pb-Free," which covers the evolution of BGA and other area array packages, including enhancements to reliability, thermal compatibility, density, and other factors.
Jim Dills, GoodBye Chain Group, will teach "Aspects and Impacts of REACH: Overview of Current and Future REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs)." This course includes an introduction to the REACH legislation, its implications, preparation/conformance strategies, and case studies where REACH disclosures have been implemented.
To register for any of the courses, visit www.smta.org/education/academy/academy.cfm.

With about 12 hours till polls open, it remains anyone's guess who will triumph in tomorrow's D.C. Council special election. But a look at the characteristics of the 2,894 ballots already cast during early voting, as well as the 6,669 absentee ballots requested by city voters, offer some insights into the shape of the electorate.
• Ward 6 voters were early-voting champions, with its 631 votes representing 22 percent of the total early ballots cast (versus 15 percent of the city's registered voting base). Ward 5 came in second place, with about 15 percent of the early vote. Meanwhile, wards 7 and 8 lagged badly, with 6.4 and 4.6 percent of the early vote, respectively.
• Republicans turned out slightly better than expected for early voting, with GOP registrants making up 7.4 percent of early ballots versus 6.3 percent of the citywide voting base. But they are massively outperforming the rest of the electorate in absentee ballot requests. More than one-fourth of all absentee requests were made by Republicans. Not all ballots that are requested are mailed by Election Day (3,135 had been received by Friday), but the figures indicate sole Republican Patrick D. Mara could count on a boost should the race go down to absentees.
• On the flip side for Mara, independent voter interest appears weak. Making up 17 percent of the registered voter base, independents made up only 7.6 percent of the early vote turnout and 8.5 percent of absentee voter requests. Democrats outperformed their 75 percent registration voter share in early voting, with 84 percent of ballots cast.
• Democrat Anita Bonds, who is counting on strong support in wards 4, 5, 7 and 8, should be concerned that her Election Day get-out-the-vote operation is up to snuff. Those four wards, out of eight total, made up only 40 percent of the early-voting electorate and only 33 percent of absentee-ballot requesters.
• All that said, don't put too much stock into these numbers as being too meaningful. In November's general election, early voters were most heavily in wards 4 and 5. But in the final tallies, voters from wards 6 and 3 caught up, and then some. And the share of the vote from Democratic registrants increased from 85 percent in early voting to over 90 percent in the final certified count.

Boys' basketball: A team to root for in Division 4AA
If you want a public-school team to root for in Southern Section Division 4AA this season against all the top small, private schools that have been put in the division, Laguna Beach is the team.
Coach Bret Fleming returns all five starters from an 18-10 team. At lunch time on Tuesday, he still had not seen the new division. But he suspected his school would be part of 4AA. Now comes the challenge of trying to compete with La Verne Lutheran, L.A. Price, Gardena Serra and L.A. Windward, among others.
"As a small public school, you kind of run out of options," Fleming said. "I don't cheat and I'm not going to draw better talent than those guys."
Yes, the new format is supposed to be fair and equitable, but there's nothing fair and equitable about being a public school in 4AA. They've become sacrificial lambs. It would have been fairer to just have all private schools in 4AA.

Research in the laboratory of Lawrence J. Mandarino, Ph.D., focuses on the molecular mechanisms responsible for insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and liver.
Of particular interest are the roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in muscle and the regulation of structure and function of mitochondrial proteins by post-translational modifications, especially acetylation. Dr. Mandarino and his colleagues are also studying the mechanisms of fatty liver development using mouse models.
A wide variety of techniques are employed in experimental systems to study these issues, including:
The goal of the laboratory is to provide detailed information about the molecular mechanisms responsible for insulin resistance in muscle and liver in people who are obese and have type 2 diabetes. This research provides new targets for treating insulin resistance, which is the basis of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other aspects of cardiometabolic risk—a cluster of conditions sometimes referred to as metabolic syndrome.

My kids are 15 months (GGB)
Scrambled eggs is a fave. We alway add cheese, and mix in different vegetables depending what we have , mushrooms, tomatoes, peas, etc...
Macaroni is also great - mixed with a packet of frozen winter squash (which acts like a sauce) and shredded cheese (add a little milk if too thick) . Done in under 10 minutes and a great serving of veg.
Mine also love warmed pita/flat bread with different cut up fruit and cottage cheese with pineapple. We also puree left over veggies for dips with this (sweet peas are delicious, as are carrots and mashed avocado)
We've also just started to introduce soups (all vegetable, pureed and thick) and let the kids add their own toppings which they seem to enjoy (Goldfish, shredded cheese, shredded apple/pear, chopped ham - sometime all of it at once)

Thanks - we did sausage meatballs today. It was yummy (2 of them thought so). We also still love the trader joes veggie sticks though I wouldn't say healthy for that one.

I have the book Super Baby Food- it guides you through making your own baby food for the first year. There are a bunch of great toddler recipes. Perfect for kids who are mostly eating everything you are but could use a couple of things of their own still. Lots of veggie recipes that my boys love. Nothing complicated to make. I make a batch and freeze it and warm as needed.

My kids like egg or tuna salad for lunch. Cut up pineapple is a fav these days too.
Jessica - posted on 01/12/2009
Mine also love sweet potato fries. We often do meatballs (frozen) quartered up and cheese cubes. Sweet English peas have been a favorite too. Around this age I started adding apple sticks...gala apples are the softest and mine had no problem eating them. Another thing mine love are sausage balls (made with mild sausage).
Lisa - posted on 01/01/2009
We do chicken strips also and sweet potato fries - all sweet potatoes. Tyson is more of real chicken vs. processed. We stick in the toaster oven for 10-15 minutes - both cook at 425. I'd also love ideas for all meals!!!!

Last year's World Book NIght was a hoot to be part of, a celebration of books, authors and reading, a chance to get great books into the hands of people who might not otherwise have them, a chance to meet random strangers and give them a gift.
The event began in the United Kingdom and Ireland and spread to Germany and the U.S. in 2012. This year, reports are that Germany is bowing out, but the U.S. is still going strong. The list of the 30 titles to be given away was released in November (and you can find it here), and this week e-mails are going out to applicants, letting them know if they've been chosen to be a volunteer book-giver.
I got my email yesterday. Whew! It was fun last year, going with my mother and my new puppy down to Como Lake and giving away copies of Kate DiCamillo's "Because of Winn-Dixie." I don't know yet which book I'm giving out this year, but I asked for Timothy Egan's "The Worst Hard Time," his prize-winning history of the Dust Bowl.
Last year, two Minnesota authors were represented among the give-away books: DiCamillo, and Leif Enger, and there was a big to-do that night at Magers & Quinn Bookstore in Uptown. This year, no Minnesota authors will have books given out, but Wisconsin will have two: Neil Gaiman and "Good Omens," and Michael Perry and "Population: 485."
World Book NIght is a day set aside to celebrate books, with a half-mllion copies of 30 different titles given away at random. Don't be surprised if a volunteer walks up to you that day and hands you a paperback book, no strings attached. Don't run! Don't say no! It's just a book, and a good one. The date is April 23, the time is no particular time at all, and the location is--random.
