| Romney pins Republican campaign hopes on business experience
She tried and failed to set up a socialist health care system. She wore a headband. She stood by Bill in spite of his infidelities. But she did nothing else that was newsworthy. I'm not likely to vote for a Republican in November, unless Ron Paul or Fred Thompson are nominated, which they're not likely to be (because the media doesn't give them equal air or press time, so the public doesn't know much about them), but I WILL vote Republican if Hillary is nominated. So will hundreds of thousands of other folks. .
Rednam pleads guilty to obstructing health-care fraud investigation
All three of these drugs are injectable, and are used to treat macular degeneration in patients' eyes. After the audit, the medical practice group notified Rednam that it would be making a voluntary disclosure of the audit's findings to the government. When the government began an investigation, it served a subpoena on the medical practice group, seeking, among other documents, the medical files for various patients receiving injections of the drugs discussed above. In his plea agreement, Rednam admitted that from April 18, 2007 through May 31, 2007, he remained at his medical office past regular business hours after all other employees left. While alone in the office, Rednam reviewed patients' files that were responsive to the subpoena and disposed of some of those records.

It's called Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and it uses a laser light to destroy diseased cells in the lining of the esophagus. After a series of tests at Mayo, my mother and I met with Dr Wang's right hand, a Nurse Practitioner named Lynn Borkenhagen (Kinney) who coincidentally is a Wausau native. With compassion and clarity, she explained my mother's condition and helped us understand her options for treatment. Lynn told us my mother's condition had already developed into early-stage cancer. The good news was that it was a relatively small area of cancer and it didn't appear to have spread to any lymph nodes or other organs in her body. That was the moment I took my first deep breath in weeks. The next day Dr. Wang performed a new procedure called Endoscopic Mucosal Resection. Using a special scope inserted through her mouth, Dr Wang was able to lift up the damaged lining of my mother's esophagus, pinch together the cancerous area and clip it off.
Police investigate luring of kids in Sussex
The 38-year-old man, who was not immediately identified, underwent surgery at Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center in Plainfield, and his injuries are not considered life-threatening, police said. City Public Safety Director Martin Hellwig said police will put on a "full-court press" to counteract the "disturbing trend" seen in Plainfield since Saturday, when shots were fired in an apparent gang turf battle. No one was hurt, but that incident, today's shooting and the shooting of a 20-year-old bicyclist Tuesday appear to be related to ongoing gang warfare, Hellwig said.

Argonauts give Stubler first head-coaching assignment
Days before an announcement that had been almost 40 years in the making, Rich Stubler underwent laser surgery to clear up an infection in the back of his throat. He also slipped on the ice outside his home, opening a gash that by Thursday had dried into the shape of a crescent moon over his left eye. He was swollen and raspy when the television cameras finally started rolling. But no hardship was going to diminish his first day as head coach of a professional football team. "Every day is a good day," the 58-year-old Stubler said, smiling. "I haven't had a bad day in so long, I can't even tell you." .
