Goal here is to raise as much as we can @huntsmancancer and regardless of amount, looking for you to add to the effort. So 60% of my goal of 15 miles has been swum and we aren't even at the halfway point of the month. Please click hope.huntsmancancer.org/gentoend/jim... to contribute.

Recently, the administration proposed that there be a $100,000 fee for H1-B visas. This would dramatically effect the U.S. ability to compete technologically. It would lead to talented minds to go to other countries. Aditya Varanasi has an Op-Ed in the The Dallas Morning News that argues for H1-B.
