Novant Health UVA Health System, an integrated network of physician clinics, outpatient services, and medical centers in northern and central Virginia, recently added a new orthopedics practice to expand its specialized spine care.
Novant Health UVA Health System Spine Orthopedics – Manassas, which is located within the Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics on Rolling Road, will provide a range of minimally invasive treatment options for orthopedic conditions that affect the lower back, upper back, and neck, including herniated discs and spinal stenosis.

The practice will also be home to Jarid Tareen, MD, a new Novant Health UVA Health System provider.  Tareen specializes in minimally invasive spine procedures and general orthopedics, including casting and joint injections.
He is a 2014 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Medicine where he completed an orthopedic surgery residency in 2019.
Dr. Tareen also completed a spine surgery fellowship at New York UniversityLangone Orthopedic Hospital, formerly known as Hospital for Joint Diseases, earlier this year. He is looking forward to welcoming new patients at Novant Health UVA Health System Spine Orthopedics – Manassas for consultations and X-ray evaluations.
“Our goal is to help you understand more about your orthopedic condition and get you the treatment you need to move more comfortably and relieve chronic pain in your spine,” said Dr. Tareen.
A Fredericksburg man pleaded guilty today to lying on an ATF form in the course of straw-purchasing seven firearms for a convicted felon and criminal street gang member.
According to court documents, following the recovery of a firearm by the Metropolitan Police Department that had been purchased just one week prior, ATF agents reviewed firearm transaction records and determined that Chad Thomas Lamph, 22, had purchased that firearm and numerous others from federal firearms licensees in December of 2019.
For each firearm that he purchased, Lamph certified on ATF Form 4473 that he was the actual transferee / buyer. However, the ATF’s investigation revealed that Lamph had in fact purchased seven of those firearms on behalf of another individual he knew to be a convicted felon and criminal street gang member in exchange for money.
Lamph pleaded guilty to making a false statement with respect to information required to be kept in the records of a federal firearms licensee. Lamph faces a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison when sentenced on December 11. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
This case is part of Project Guardian, the Department of Justice’s signature initiative to reduce gun violence and enforce federal firearms laws. Initiated by the Attorney General in the fall of 2019, Project Guardian draws upon the Department’s past successful programs to reduce gun violence; enhances coordination of federal, state, local, and tribal authorities in investigating and prosecuting gun crimes; improves information-sharing by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives when a prohibited individual attempts to purchase a firearm and is denied by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), to include taking appropriate actions when a prospective purchaser is denied by the NICS for mental health reasons; and ensures that federal resources are directed at the criminals posing the greatest threat to our communities.

Florence Jane Edwards (nee Potts), born in Charlotte North Carolina on December 05, 1942, to Edward Potts and Zuleni Glover Potts Troup. At the age of 2, her family moved to New York City to take a bite out of the Big Apple and partake in big city living. After High School, she joined the United States Women’s Army Corps. Following that commitment she proceeded to engage in acts of civil service. As a single Mother she raised her only daughter while working as a 911 operator for the New York City Police Department. She taught us many lessons, not just through her words, but through her actions. She provided comfort and warmth in some of the darkest of times and instilled morality and strength when it was needed most. She never thought anything was too crazy and possessed a wealth of knowledge that she voraciously added to as often as she could. In a world of social media and political party warfare she taught us the most valuable lesson of all – to always be an individual. There has never been and never will be another like her. She retired an Admitting Clerk from Down State Medical Center, Brooklyn. A member of the Independent United Order of Mechanics’ and Civil Servants Employees of America; Florence advocated for civil rights, women’s rights and fair treatment for all. She loved her family, nature, the arts, jazz, soul music and soul food; fashion, drawing, painting and interior design. She answered the call from Heaven on August 25, 2020 in Jacksonville, FL. Her witticism, candor, beauty, intelligence, “Grandma kisses” and heartfelt laughter will be greatly missed, until we meet again.
Along with her parents, and stepfather Braiford Troup, Florence is preceded in death by her sisters Muriel Toles and Ada Mitchell, brothers James Potts and Raymond Troup. She is survived by her sisters Wilhelmenia Mejias and Jean Deloach; her daughter Lisa and husband Frank Vazquez, her grandchildren Matthieu Williams and Eboni Vazquez. Matthieu’s wife Sumayta Kabir. Her step grandchildren Michael, Frankie, and Gloria Vazquez. And a host of nieces and nephews
Amazon, Walmart and Wegmans are among more than 20 companies in Northern Virginia that will be seeking candidates for thousands of open positions at the October 8 Hiring and Reskilling Virtual Career Fair.
The event is the third in a series of virtual career fairs presented by the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, and open to anyone looking for job and/or reskilling opportunities.
The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Participation is free and participants are asked to register online prior to the event.
In addition to Amazon, Walmart, and Wegmans, companies and organizations seeking candidates for jobs and/or job training programs during the event include Cox Communications, Fairbrook Hotels, George Mason University’s Continuing and Professional Education Division, Marymount University, Navy Federal Credit Union, the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association, Revature, Securitas and Smoothstack.
“The FCEDA is proud to present the Hiring and Reskilling Virtual Career Fair,” said Victor Hoskins, president and CEO of the FCEDA. “We thank the companies that will be interviewing candidates at the fair and the organizations that offer reskilling and upskilling programs. Many people are in need of jobs because of layoffs at this unprecedented time. Each person hired saves a household. We at the FCEDA are here to help.”
The Hiring and Reskilling Virtual Career Fair will welcome job seekers of all backgrounds, especially those unemployed due to COVID-19. The open positions will span a variety of industries, and not all require a college degree – including store clerks, construction, program managers, information security analysts and more. For those interested in training programs, there will be organizations that train and place candidates in lucrative tech careers in a matter of months at no cost to participants. The virtual career fair is open to all industries and levels of experience.
During the event, participants will be able to browse companies in a virtual lobby, enter companies’ booths, view open positions, engage in video conferencing and chat with HR representatives in real-time – all from the comfort of their homes.
The virtual career fair is part of an FCEDA talent initiative funded by Fairfax County to attract, retain, grow and retrain workers. The initiative pivoted during the COVID-19 crisis to connect displaced workers with companies doing surge-hiring during the pandemic.
