MIAMI, FL, March 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) Ferrer Shane, PL is proud to announce that one of its attorneys, Diana E. Gonzalez, is running for Miami-Dade County Court Judge.

Starting her career in 2004, Diana Gonzalez was rapidly promoted up the ranks in the Public Defender's Office, first handling misdemeanor charges, then defending young people in the juvenile division, to ultimately defending clients charged with the most serious felonies - all in the span of just five years, trying everything from a traffic ticket to a murder case.

Having traveled abroad with the U.S. Department of Defense and with USAID to teach criminal defense strategies to transitioning countries, Diana recognizes what makes our constitution one-of-a-kind, and as Judge she will handle cases promptly, efficiently and fairly, with the understanding that this is essential to justice.

Diana also keenly understands that legal issues affect more than just the people who would stand before her in the court room. Regardless if it is a civil case, a criminal, probate, landlord tenant, or claims case, Diana knows that the case impacts victims, witnesses, defendants, family members, and friends on both sides. The outcome of a case has a ripple effect on the economy, our communities, and our sense of well-being as a society. No matter the nature of the case before her, Diana's experience, integrity and knowledge will give her the tools necessary to balance all of the above while staying true to the law.

Diana's well-rounded life experiences add to her ability to be a fair and impartial judge. She has seen both sides of the coin, knowing what it is to be a victim, and knowing what it is to have loved ones involved in the criminal justice system. She knows what it is to struggle economically and also what it means to run a business.

Diana has worked hard all her life. She will bring to the bench the same strong work ethic she developed since going to work at age 14. Despite being the youngest child, she was the first in her family to graduate from high school, college, and ultimately law school.

Having spent the majority of her days as a lawyer in the court room, Diana knows that everyone should be treated with respect. She also believes that people should be held accountable for their actions through a fair and equal legal process. As Miami-Dade County Court Judge, Diana is guaranteed to treat each individual, victim, defendant, witness, attorney, law enforcement officer and court room staff with equal dignity and respect.

New insight into mechanisms behind autoimmune diseases suggests a potential therapy

New insight into mechanisms behind autoimmune diseases suggests a potential therapy
2012-03-19
LA JOLLA, Calif., March 18, 2012 – Autoimmune diseases, such as Type I diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, are caused by an immune system gone haywire, where the body's defense system assaults and destroys healthy tissues. A mutant form of a protein called LYP has been implicated in multiple autoimmune diseases, but the precise molecular pathway involved has been unknown. Now, in a paper published March 18 in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) show how the errant form of LYP can disrupt the immune system. ...

UMass Amherst theoretical physicists find a way to simulate strongly correlated fermions

UMass Amherst theoretical physicists find a way to simulate strongly correlated fermions
2012-03-19
AMHERST, Mass. – Combining known factors in a new way, theoretical physicists Boris Svistunov and Nikolai Prokof'ev at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with three alumni of their group, have solved an intractable 50-year-old problem: How to simulate strongly interacting quantum systems to allow accurate predictions of their properties. It could open the door to practical superconductor applications, as well as to solving difficult "many-body" problems in high-energy physics, condensed matter and ultra-cold atoms. The theoretical breakthrough by Prokof'ev and ...

Improving Your Doctor's Hygiene

2012-03-19
When people don't feel well, they see a doctor. They probably assume that the doctor will not spread anything to them to make them sicker. Ohio residents may be disturbed to find out that hygiene in hospitals is not as high of a priority as one would expect. Hospital-acquired infections are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. A 2004 study done by the American College of Physicians found that only 57 percent of doctors washed their hands when they were supposed to. The study also showed that the busier the doctor was and the more patients needing ...

Columbia Engineering and Penn researchers increase speed of single-molecule measurements

Columbia Engineering and Penn researchers increase speed of single-molecule measurements
2012-03-19
New York, NY—March 18, 2012—As nanotechnology becomes ever more ubiquitous, researchers are using it to make medical diagnostics smaller, faster, and cheaper, in order to better diagnose diseases, learn more about inherited traits, and more. But as sensors get smaller, measuring them becomes more difficult—there is always a tradeoff between how long any measurement takes to make and how precise it is. And when a signal is very weak, the tradeoff is especially big. A team of researchers at Columbia Engineering, led by Electrical Engineering Professor Ken Shepard, together ...

A surprising new kind of proton transfer

A surprising new kind of proton transfer
2012-03-19
When a proton – the bare nucleus of a hydrogen atom – transfers from one molecule to another, or moves within a molecule, the result is a hydrogen bond, in which the proton and another atom like nitrogen or oxygen share electrons. Conventional wisdom has it that proton transfers can only happen using hydrogen bonds as conduits, "proton wires" of hydrogen-bonded networks that can connect and reconnect to alter molecular properties. Hydrogen bonds are found everywhere in chemistry and biology and are critical in DNA and RNA, where they bond the base pairs that encode genes ...

Genetic variation in East Asians found to explain resistance to cancer drugs

2012-03-19
DURHAM, N.C., AND SINGAPORE – A multi-national research team led by scientists at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School has identified the reason why some patients fail to respond to some of the most successful cancer drugs. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs (TKIs) work effectively in most patients to fight certain blood cell cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) with mutations in the EGFR gene. These precisely targeted drugs shut down molecular pathways that keep these cancers flourishing and include TKIs for treating ...

Exotic materials will change optics, Duke researchers say

Exotic materials will change optics, Duke researchers say
2012-03-19
DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University engineers believe that continued advances in creating ever-more exotic and sophisticated man-made materials will greatly improve their ability to control light at will. The burgeoning use of metamaterials in the field of optics does not rely on the limited set of materials found in nature, but rather man-made constructs that can be designed to control light's many properties. This control is gained by use of metamaterials, which are not so much single substances but entire man-made structures that can be engineered to exhibit properties ...

Special Safety Issues Facing Older Drivers and Pedestrians

2012-03-19
As we most of us already know, aging usually means we'll experience more problems with our hearing, vision and motor skills. In order to grow older safely, we must first recognize our vulnerabilities. Once we do this, we can adapt our behavior in order to create a safer environment for ourselves and everyone else. The following statistics shed light on the special safety issues facing seniors both behind the wheel and when walking around as pedestrians. Safety Issues for Senior Drivers/Pedestrians (Note: In 2009, approximately 40 million Americans were age 65 and ...

Bone marrow transplant arrests symptoms in model of Rett syndrome

Bone marrow transplant arrests symptoms in model of Rett syndrome
2012-03-19
A paper published online today in Nature describes the results of using bone marrow transplant (BMT) to replace faulty immune system cells in models of Rett Syndrome. The procedure arrested many severe symptoms of the childhood disorder, including abnormal breathing and movement, and significantly extended the lifespan of Rett mouse models. Exploring the function of microglia deficient in methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (Mecp2), the protein encoded by the "Rett gene," principal investigator Jonathan Kipnis, Ph.D. and his team at the University of Virginia School of Medicine ...

The Viking journey of mice and men

2012-03-19
House mice (Mus musculus) happily live wherever there are humans. When populations of humans migrate the mice often travel with them. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology has used evolutionary techniques on modern day and ancestral mouse mitochondrial DNA to show that the timeline of mouse colonization matches that of Viking invasion. During the Viking age (late 8th to mid 10th century) Vikings from Norway established colonies across Scotland, the Scottish islands, Ireland, and Isle of Man. They also explored the north ...
