st. louis • a st. louis circuit court judge has ruled in favor of the st. stanislaus kostka catholic church in a decision handed down this morning .
the ruling grants the church control over the assets and property that have been the source of a decade - long dispute between the historic polish church and the archdiocese of st. louis .
in the 50 - page decision, judge bryan hettenbach rules in favor the church on multiple counts .
he dismissed the archdiocese' s claim that recent changes to the church' s bylaws should be invalidated by the court. and he sides with the church on the matter of property, saying the archdiocese can make no legitimate claim to its ownership .
the archbishop may own the souls of wayward st. stanislaus parishioners, but the st. stanislaus parish corporation owns its own property ,
the judge wrote .
it took 18 months for the st. stanislaus case to come to a trial. when it finally did, it lasted two weeks, and ended more than a year ago. the current dispute has entered its tenth year, and the broader tussle between the church and the bishops of st. louis goes back more than half a century .
the st. stanislaus story is about authority and control, about what it means to be catholic and the constraints of church hierarchy in governing individual parishes .
central to the fight is a 19th century agreement that allowed the parish to govern its own finances. its bylaws stated that a lay board would control the church’s property and assets while the archbishop would appoint the board and pastor .
in september 2001, the board amended the bylaws for the first time since 1891, removing the ability of the archbishop to fire the pastor or appoint board members .
in 2003, the archdiocese asked the church to change its legal structure to conform to every other church in the archdiocese, but the board was unwilling to give up its original deal. instead, church leaders rewrote st. stanislaus’ bylaws, eliminating the archbishop’s authority .
the archbishop responded by pulling the parish pastor, declaring several board members excommunicated and announcing that the church was no longer roman catholic .
ignoring the archbishop’s authority, the board hired its own pastor, who was, in turn, suspended, excommunicated and eventually defrocked .
come back to stltoday later today for reactions from both sides to the decision .
court rulings in serbian orthodox church clash may be key to st. louis case .
the rev. matthew harrison told a panel of lawmakers in the u. s. house of representatives that the st. louis - based denomination
stand (s) with our friends in the catholic church
in opposition to a recent government ruling on contraception .
a ruling on who should control st. stanislaus kostka church could come in late february .
cornerstone for the current st. stanislaus building was blessed by kenrick, who also agreed to a structure in which st. stanislaus’ laity would form a corporation, under missouri law, to help govern the financial life of the church .
archbishop john glennon requested that the church change its structure, to no avail .
archbishop joseph ritter requested that the church change its structure, to no avail .
the st. stanislaus parish corporation amended its bylaws to extend its existence from 99 years to perpetuity .
the corporation amended its bylaws to require that a minimum amount remain in its “restoration and repair fund. ”
with the help of its pastor, the board replaces old bylaws with entirely new ones. the changes include removing the authority of the archbishop to remove the pastor or appoint board members .
monsignor richard stika, vicar general of the archdiocese, threatens the church’s board with excommunication, according to board members, unless the church conforms to the same legal and financial structure as the archdiocese’s other parishes. stika says he was misunderstood .
parishioners vote 199 - 17 to amend the church’s bylaws, further negating the authority of the st. louis archbishop over st. stanislaus’ finances. archbishop (now cardinal) raymond burke later removes two priests who backed the action. appeals by the church to the vatican later fail .
the rev. marek bozek takes over as priest at st. stanislaus after suspension by the catholic church for leaving the diocese of springfield - cape girardeau. burke later declares all six board members and bozek excommunicated. burke also declares st. stanislaus suppressed, meaning it is no longer considered roman catholic .
the archdiocese sues, asking a judge to restore the parish structure to the way it was before 2001 .

more than $ 12 million after determining that unitedhealth group’s subsidiary optuminsight infringed cave consulting group’s patent for measuring physician efficiency. the jury also rejected optuminsight’s counterclaim that cave consulting group infringed optuminsight’s patent for processing medical claims data .
cave consulting group’s u. s. patent no. 7, 739, 126 (the
‘126 patent”) protects its advanced approach to analyzing physician efficiency, which enables health plans, physician groups and others to obtain accurate and reliable physician efficiency scores—increasingly vital statistical measures used to combat rising healthcare costs. ccgroup’s patented physician efficiency method is considered the de facto standard for determining physician efficiency in the healthcare industry today .
the federal jury determined that optuminsight infringed the ‘126 patent by operating and licensing its impact intelligence software, a competing solution for developing physician efficiency scores. “the jury found that optum’s impact intelligence software infringed because it uses a pre - defined set of medical conditions to evaluate each specialty type, ” explained dr. douglas g. cave, president of cave consulting group. the pre - defined set of medical conditions is a key component of the methodology protected by cave consulting group’s ‘126 patent .
dr. cave also stated that “ cave consulting group has invested significant time and effort to determine and develop the most appropriate methods for obtaining reliable and stable physician efficiency scores, and we are relieved that the jury was willing to help us protect that hard work. ”
in response to cave consulting group’s lawsuit, optuminsight filed counterclaims asserting that cave consulting group infringed eight patents relating to the processing of medical claims data. cave consulting group defeated seven of those patents in pre - trial proceedings and obtained a jury finding of non - infringement on the eighth at trial .
cave consulting group, inc. is a software and consulting firm located in san mateo, california. the company is focused on improving the efficiency (cost - of - care) and effectiveness (quality - of - care) of the healthcare delivery system. senior management of ccgroup has assessed the performance of physicians and hospitals for over 24 years for health plans, hmos, physician groups, health systems, tpas, and employers .

wildwood woman wins battle to stay in the u. s. when her husband died in 2006 accident, she faced deportation. | local | urltoken

wildwood woman wins battle to stay in the u. s. when her husband died in 2006 accident, she faced deportation .
in the odd parlance of immigration law, the rule was known as the
widow penalty .
it meant that if a u. s. citizen married a foreigner and then died after less than two years of marriage, the foreigner lost the legal basis to stay in the country and could be deported .
it' s the situation khamphee
nok
kells was in for the past few years. kells is originally from thailand but now lives in wildwood .
her late husband, navy recruiter robert kells, died in a motorcycle accident in 2006, less than a year after they had been married .
threatened with deportation, kells sued the government and eventually won. her case and a handful of others like it provided the impetus this fall for congress to abolish the so - called
widow penalty .
earlier this month, kells and her attorneys learned that the u. s. government would drop its appeal of her victory. it officially ends litigation that could send her back to thailand .
it' s people like mrs. kells, who are not afraid, that allowed other people to benefit from this ,
said brent renison, an oregon immigration attorney who has worked to abolish the
widow penalty
for five years .
she was brave .
kells is in the process of applying for permanent residency. without the new law, her application could not have even been processed .
in 2004, renison had a client from south africa who was in the process of being deported because her husband died before the two - year mark .
the case sparked his interest in trying to change the rule, which seemed inhumane and was aimed at a small group of people. at one time, he knew of about 200 widows and widowers threatened with deportation because of it .
renison filed a national class action lawsuit in 2007 and created the website surviving spouses against deportation (ssad. org). he also found law firms across the country to represent other widows and widowers for free .
nok
kells met petty officer 1st class robert kells in beijing in 2003, while he was working at the u. s. embassy .
the couple, along with her two daughters, moved to missouri in 2005. her case was especially befuddling. at the same time the u. s. government was telling her she had no legal basis to remain in the country, it was also paying military death benefits to her and her daughters, who are now 20 and 14 .
kells stumbled across renison' s website after a friend told her about it more than a year ago. she still has a hard time believing her good fortune at finding him .
without brent, this law wouldn' t have made it through ,
she said .

the 8th u. s. court of appeals affirmed a lower court ruling that threw out a whistleblower case seeking $ 1 billion in damages against anesthesia associates of kansas city .
the claimant had accused anesthesia associates of submitting false claims for reimbursement to government health care programs such as medicare. the claimant argued that the anesthesiologists weren' t properly documenting their participation during the time when a patient is recovering from anesthesia, called the emergence period .
u. s. district judge david gregory kays of the western district of missouri ruled in june 2015 that there wasn' t enough evidence to prove the company failed to comply with government regulations because legislation never has expressly defined the scope of the emergence period from anesthesia. the judge also ruled that allegations of systematic insufficient documentation were without merit because an overwhelming majority of patient files for anesthesia associates contained the documentation .
the case was filed by the estate of john donegan, on behalf of the united states, in a legal maneuver known as qui tam under the false claims act, which allows whistleblowers to receive part of any penalty imposed. the appeals court affirmed the ruling in full .
