About the Author
George F. Heileman Sr. is an Arizona native, a Tempe schools and Arizona State University graduate with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, a U.S. Air Force 20-year veteran, a teacher, a salesman and a technician. At age 81, he realized he had been blessed with a rewarding life that has also experienced its share of pitfalls—which, if recorded, might explain his life circumstances and helps guide others.
His last military assignment, toward the end of the Vietnam War and a corrupted Washington, DC, environment made him reluctant to mention what he felt was unjust. When first recording memories, his ramblings were very disjointed; his daughter, Gina, then took his labors in writing, edited the material and made the journey extremely readable.

Moshy Shain releases new book ‘The Orange Cover’
NEW YORK – Moshy Shain’s “The Orange Cover” (published by Xlibris) was written and published by the author with the desire for readers to achieve a happier life and an easier time to deal with day-to-day problems.
Shain’s personal experiences have significant influence in writing the book. He recounts having piles of struggles throughout his younger years, and how he came out of his own problems.
“If you are human then you are going through some emotional pain, some will deny it and some know it by now. We could spend tens of thousands of dollars on therapy, but after reading the book very slowly and carefully, you might be saving yourself money and time and you will save your life,” the author says.
“The Orange Cover” was written in English; any age could read it and feel what they are reading. Shain believes that the “The Orange Cover” will be easily understood and relatable to readers. “Most people who are willing to help themselves, would rather have experience others had when they went through the same problems, and not read a book that was written by a professional or a doctor.”

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., June 12, 2017 – Utah recently became the first state to pass legislation supported by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery Association (ASDSA) which ensures that children are protected from dangerous sun exposure while at school. Since being signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert, legislatures in the states of Alabama, Arizona and Washington have also approved similar measures.
The law, deemed SUNucate, eliminates barriers prohibiting students from possessing and using over-the-counter sunscreen by exempting these products from requirements implemented by broad reaching ‘medication bans’, such as the need for a physician’s note or prescription. ASDSA applauds Representative Craig Hall and Senator Jacob Anderegg, sponsors of House Bill 288, for their leadership on the issue and thanks both the legislature and Governor for their support of the efforts to help protect children from skin cancer.
“Utah has set a great example early on this year by passing this legislation, which highlights the importance of sun protection for our children. Creating a culture of sun-safe behavior in our youth is an important part of how we can reduce the risk of skin cancer,” said ASDSA President Thomas E. Rohrer, MD. “As dermatologic surgeons, we must help the public understand the real risks of excessive sun exposure and how to mitigate them.”
The impetus for SUNucate were raised by dermatologists, dermatologic surgeons and members of the media who noted that children were being required to bring a prescription from a physician in order to possess or use sunscreen at their school or camp (sunscreen is classified as an over-the-counter drug by the FDA). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the United States Preventive Services Task Force both believe that children should have access to sunscreen and other sun-protective measures in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
“This is excellent news for all of Utah, and I hope that more states will follow its lead,” said ASDSA State Affairs Chair Terrence Cronin, Jr., MD. “Increasing access to sunscreen in schools is an important step in the uphill battle against skin cancer. We hope that our youth will also be allowed to wear sun-protective clothing, including hats, while outdoors and to also be educated on why being in the sun without adequate protection can be dangerous.”
ASDSA has worked with multiple medical/health care organizations, patient groups and industry partners – such as the American Medical Association, members of the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention and the Personal Care Products Council – to show state legislators the need for this measure which will protect school-aged children. Encouraging states to allow for the regular and routine use of sunscreen at schools without a prescription is key to reducing skin cancer in the United States.

AMA Continues Efforts to Expand Funding for Graduate Medical Education to Address Physician Shortages
CHICAGO – Continuing its efforts to ensure patients have access to an adequate physician workforce, the AMA today adopted policy aimed at making sure there is sufficient funding for medical residency positions. Currently, hospitals that begin sponsoring residency training and become eligible for graduate medical education (GME) funding under Medicare have a maximum of five years to establish all residency programs before the institution’s Medicare GME funding cap is set. Based on the new policy, the AMA will advocate to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to modify its current Medicare GME requirements to allow institutions ample time to create new residency programs to care for patients in underserved and economically depressed areas.
“The AMA remains committed to expanding GME funding to ensure we train enough physicians to meet the nation’s changing health care needs,” said AMA Board Member and resident Omar Z. Maniya, M.D. “The current five-year deadline for developing new residency programs in underserved areas before a cap is placed on the amount of Medicare funding they can receive for these programs is not effective. We will urge CMS to give institutions the time they need to identify qualified, willing teaching partners to create residency programs that are able to meet the needs of patients in underserved areas.”
The AMA has been a long-time advocate for modernizing GME. This includes increased funding for medical residency slots, and development of innovative practice models as well as residency positions that reflect societal needs. Most recently, the AMA urged support for the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2017, a federal bill that would expand Medicare funding for 15,000 additional residency positions.
The AMA also supports the maintenance and expansion of GME as part of its SaveGME campaign. This initiative urges Congress to protect federal funding for graduate medical education, which supports access to care in undersupplied specialties and underserved areas. The campaign also aims to educate patients about the importance of GME and the role of residents in the delivery of our nation's health care.
Launched in 2013, the AMA’s Accelerating Change in Medical Education initiative also addresses some of these issues by supporting medical school projects aimed at accelerating student progression through medical school allowing them to enter residency sooner and contribute more rapidly to expanding the physician workforce
