View Profile. Ted G Sprague. As a child growing up in North Korea, Hyeonseo Lee thought her country was "the best on the planet." It wasn't until the famine of the 90s that she began to wonder. She escaped the country at 14, to begin a life in hiding, as a refugee in China. Hers is a harrowing, personal tale of survival and hope â” and a powerful reminder of those who face constant danger, even when the border is far behind. Ted Sprague was a resident of Los Angeles, CA. He was the son of Mindy Sprague and the husband of Karen Sprague. He was an evolved human who had the ability to emit radiation from his body. He was killed by Sylar. Matt and Audrey are investigating the murder of Robert Fresco, an oncologist at UCLA. His body was found burned to a char and emitting 1,800 curies of radiation. A fingerprint found seared into the man's bone is matched using the FBI's CODIS system to Theodore Sprague. Ted Sprague has the ability of radiation. He was mistaken as Sylar a several times. He previously teamed-up with Matt Parkman and Wireless in order to bring down the Company.

Flu season in full swing at the College By Caroline Russomanno Arts & Entertainment Editor The flu has afflicted many College students lately, but according to Janice Vermeychuk, director of Health Services, this yearʼs flu season is not as bad as previous years. “Last year was a horrible year for the flu — we had 300 students in here with it,” Vermeychuk said. This yearʼs count hasnʼt reached those proportions yet, but the Collegeʼs flu season stretches until the start of Spring Break. “Spring Break tends to flush it out,” Barbara Clark, an adult Nurse Practitioner with Health Services, said. Tina Tan, the state epidemiologist for the Department of Health, said in a phone interview this season has not been “a more serious season compared to previous years. Weʼll have a better sense at the end of the season.” “All of the strains (of the flu) in the reported cases have been a match with the vaccine so far,” she added. A far greater number than those with the actual flu Tim Lee / Photo Editor is the number of students with an influenza-like illness While many College students have been affl icted with the fl u lately, this year’s fl u season is not as (ILI).

  • Matt's Missive
    Matt’s Missive April 2021 Iona Update By Barbara Duffield Friends, this year is flying by in some ways. It feels like I just said I was beginning my first class of my second year in IONA, and here we are approaching the end. It seems an appropriate time to offer a summary of where things are currently. First, for those who are unfamiliar with the journey I am on, I am what is called a postulant in study for Holy Orders to the Priesthood, in a diocesan program called Bi-Vocational Priesthood. I am a hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator in my “regular” life. That will not change, but once I am ordained, God willing, I will be able to serve in situations requiring a priest, both in my life in the Diocese of West Texas and in my work life. I was sent to this opportunity by my St. Matthew’s family, and approved by Bishop David Reed and the diocesan Discernment Committee. I am offered the opportunity to practice skills such as preaching, pastoral care, and other duties; learning how it might be done as a priest as opposed to a lay person. Fr. Tim has been extremely generous with his time, helping me to find my bearings in this new role. Part of my training was to be completed at another parish but was not possible due to the Covid landscape. As the danger of Covid lessens, it may still occur. To this point, I have classes the first weekend in May and June, and then will have a break over the summer until early September.
