Alone in crowded streets of Paris by Viyan
Me and a friend were walking through central Paris. France has just won a football game and qualified for the next round of the W-cup. The streets were filled with people, cars were driving around, stereos on max, some even with people on the roofs waving the french flag. As we are walking one of the cars, a white van, slowed down and a man starts screaming at me. I don't remember what he said. I tried to make him understand that i was not interested and that he should just drive on. Then i heard the door slam and i knew, without looking back, that he had stopped and jumped out. Soon i a felt his hand on my shoulder. He was talking but i can't remember what he was saying. I turned around. Infront of me was the biggest human being I have ever seen. His hand still on my shoulder was the size of my head. I feelt fear, shame, anger, panic, surreality and just wtf. I told him something in lines of not touching me and leaving me alone while walking away. But he persisted. Followed after me kept on touching me. My friend was in chock unable to be of any help. None in the streets seemed to react either. I yelled at him tried to fight his hands of but he was so strong and just huge. I started to be really scared. It was not just the normal everyday inconvience anymore, I realised that if he decided he could just lift me up and through me into the van(someone was driving it slowly along the sidewalk following us) and there would be nothing i could do. I was wearing a light summer dress. He hand managed to get under my dress and between my legs. I froze. Then I turned around to face him. Yelled at him louder. Streched out my arms to keep him away from me. Started to kick towards him. It all felt so helpless though, so fucking scary and surreal cause i as very aware that he was so much stronger. This is all happening in the midst of huge crowd. none stopped. Then another car stopped across the street from us. i thought they would help. it turned out to be a car full of young guys who started to point at us and laugh, look she is trying to kick him in her flip-flops, she stands no chance. the absurdity of this woke me up a bit and anger took over instead of panic. i kicked as hard as i could and hit him straight on his shin. this made him let go of me with both his gigantic hands and touch his leg instead. as soon as i was free of his grip i took my friends armed and we walked away. As fast as we could. what gives me chills until today is that feeling of total hopelessness, that he had all the power, and the surreality of it all happening among so many people.

Re-Imagining Memoir: Alison Bechdel's Fun Home
Even though it had been highly recommended to me repeatedly, I didn't get around to reading Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir Fun Home until after I saw the musical at the Circle in the Square on Broadway. It's rare that I retain enough interest in something to read the book after having seen the movie or the play, but I knew I would this time. The musical, which grabbed five Tonys, was such a fresh, original take on memoir, with subject matter so foreign to the Broadway stage, that I knew I would enjoy, at the very least, mulling over the differences between book and play.
I was especially eager to dig into the book after I read a fantastic interview with Lisa Kron by Laurie Winer in the LA Review of Books. Kron was the playwright for Fun Home and I was really intrigued when she claimed that about 75% of the play doesn't appear in the memoir (what?!) and that the book didn't contain any scenes:
"There are no scenes in the book. There are no scenes! There is no dramatic action, there are no sustained scenes. There aren't even really characters. There's Alison at this age, at this age, and at this age. There are fragment[s] of scenes in different locations."
I just couldn't fathom what that meant, and I must, say, after having read the memoir, I'm still not sure what she's talking about. Either her notion of what qualifies as a "scene" or a "character" completely diverges from mine, or (and this possibility entrances me) her play so deeply informed my reading of the memoir, that I was unable to recognize the lack of scenes or character. Had Kron baked into my mind the material I needed to bridge the gaps between plot fragments and character revelations? It seems like I would need a time machine to know (or a device like the one in the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.)
But then I remembered Scott McCloud's brilliant graphic book, Understanding Comics.
Measuring the Impact of Art
Last week I attended a high-caliber symposium co-sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the UK's Cultural Value Project. They brought together a dizzying array of researchers (demographers, cognitive scientists, arts policy wonks, "recovering" academics, etc.) to discuss how we ought to measure participation in arts and culture on the local, regional, national and global scale.
"Participation" and "engagement" are key metrics for arts institutions and their funders. But the inquiry often ends right there. I think the vast majority of people in the arts – including artists and administrators – take it as a given that art has a beneficial effect on society. I happen to agree with them. Wholeheartedly. But many powerful people in this world – including those who hold the purse strings – are not necessarily convinced. Funding for the arts is paltry compared to expenditures on science, where, lo and behold, we have a lot of convincing evidence about the importance it holds for humanity.

Launching the Media Impact Project
Yesterday, I was very excited to launch the Media Impact Project, which aspires to be a global hub for the best research on measuring the impact of media. Supported by $3.25 million in initial funding from the Gates and Knight Foundations, I'm optimistic that the Norman Lear Center can help make media more accountable to audiences and contribute to a better understanding of the role that media plays in people's lives.
The New York Times picked up the story and I was thrilled to see reporter Michael Cieply focus on this aspect of the program:
Let Me Infotain You
In April of this year, I attended Fractal'11, a truly unique conference in Medellin, Colombia, that explored the convergence of fiction, art, science and technology. The event was the perfect forum for me to talk about my winding career path, which began in an English PhD program, meandered through a Web start-up and an international multimedia company and deposited me, quite happily at the Norman Lear Center.
One of the many fascinating themes of the conference (I explored several others here) was the appeal of infotainment, material that serves two seemingly unrelated purposes: to occupy attention agreeably (as the Oxford English Dictionary defines "entertainment") and to transmit practical information that may just contribute to your survival.
My talk about Entertainment as Virtual Reality focused on the ways in which entertainment – catchy pop songs, video games, movies, opera, toys, etc. – could be understood as simulations, little virtual reality machines that allow us to test our ideas about the world in safe, artificial spaces. Regardless of how distracting a cultural object may be, it is also a powerful transmitter of information about our world, and it can have a surprisingly profound impact on our lives well outside the movie theater, concert hall or American Girls store.

Free Culture Forum
I was very excited to attend the Free Culture Forum in Barcelona last October: the event was quite unique in its effort to bring together a broad range of scholars and activists from all around the world to work together to develop guidelines for sustainable models for creativity in the digital age. There were some pretty noisy fights, let me tell you, but at long last, we've produced a great brief which, so far, has been endorsed by 69 organizations and key players in the field. Please take a look at the document and be sure to watch this fun video about the Forum and its annual entertainment showcase called the oXcars.
Halloween: A great time to let the slut out?
A few years ago, a girlfriend of mine dressed up like a pimp and her husband posed as her ho. Everyone loved it — except my friend. Hundreds of pictures and lots of laughs later, she said she'd never ever wear something that wasn't slutty for Halloween again. "But everyone loved it!" I said. "Yeah, but Larry got all the attention!"
Women have a more than ample supply of trampy costumes to choose from these days, and I can't help but think that demand is driving it. When I go to Halloween parties these days, I'm often amazed at the self-professed feminists, succesful businesswomen and hard-core intellectuals who turn up as French maids, horny school girls or (a perenial favorite) naughty little devils.
Don't get me wrong. I, too, am guilty of giving in to the tramp in me. I think one reason I adore Halloween is because it gives women like me, who believe we should be taken seriously in this crazy world, a chance to do all the things that mama told us not to. Why dress up like a monster when you can be an expensive call girl instead? (When I dressed up like Anna Wintour last year, that's what some guy thought I was.)
In a way, the most dangerous, and most monstrous thing, that a strong self-possessed woman could do in this world is to dress like a prostitute. And, of course, that's why we like doing it.
Mikhail Bakhtin, the Russian literary critic and philosopher, talked about the political importance of the carnivalesque in literary and cultural representations (hey — wasn't I just talking about the carnivalesque the other day?). Carnavalesque describes a subversive cultural mode that overturns our assumptions about good taste and proper behavior. Modern day carnivals do this to some extent, as well as Mardi Gras and, I would argue, Halloween. In fact, I can hardly think of any other holiday in the U.S. that so whole-heartedly commits itself to turning the world upside down, giving us a chance to become the things we fear or despise. Whether we dress up like ghouls or sluts, the act of impersonating another character is, in Bakhtin's eyes, pretty damn subversive. It gives us an opportunity to experience our lives, briefly, from the perspective of another. Most women with strong self-esteem probably have no rational desire to be a sexual object for hire, but I think very few could argue with a straight face that they've never fantasized about it. Halloween gives us an excellent opportunity to confront our fears, to show surprising sides of ourselves, and to subvert our own status quo.
So what should I be this year? I'm thinking the girl with the dragon tattoo . . .

Jason Mittell (Film & Media Culture) and James Morrison (Political Science) are faculty at Middlebury who are moving towards completely paperless teaching and research. Both cite similar reasons for preferring electronic versions of papers, articles and even books. Digital documents are simply easier to organize and access when everything else you do is on your laptop. Having your students submit electronic versions of their assignments means that you can retain a definitive copy of all your students' work which is handy when you need to write references, find model essays from past classes to guide your current students or search for evidence of plagiarism. This case study will focus on receiving and grading electronic versions of student papers.

Online Placement Exam – Prof Nancy O'Connor
All the Language departments and Language Schools at Middlebury require students to take a placement exam before enrolling in language courses or programs in order to ensure students take courses at a level appropriate to their knowledge of the language they want to study. Amongst language departments, the Spanish department was the first to create an online version of their placement exam in a web application referred to as Measure. Prof. Nancy O'Connor used the Spanish department exam as a guide for developing an exam for students of French.
The exam contains about 90 questions, most of which are either multiple-choice or cloze type questions, and progresses from easier points of grammar — verb conjugation in the present, possessive and demonstrative adjectives — to more difficult ones — choice between past tenses, use of the conditional and the subjunctive. There is a section to test reading comprehension, consisting of questions concerning a short text. The exam is configured to allow students to access the questions only once and has a time limit of 1 hour 15 minutes. Student answers are saved to a database and scores can be exported into a spreadsheet. Results from this exam determine what level courses students are allowed to take at Middlebury."
Extending the Textbook – Prof Kyoko Davis
Prof. Kyoko Davis has never been fully satisfied with the audio resources included with any of the textbooks used by the Japanese dept. The Japanese dept currently uses Genki, An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese. To supplement the audio resources that accompany this textbook, Prof. Davis has recorded additional audio material for students, some of this audio contains material from the textbook that is not in the accompanying resources, some contain alternative versions that are presented at a faster and/or slower pace and some contain supplementary material.
One area of study that Prof. Kyoko has focused on is vocabulary instruction. She has worked with Media Services to record hundreds of vocabulary items and used a spreadsheet to document all the metadata for each item including Hiragana, Katagana and Kanji representations of a given word, its English translation, grammatical categorization and information about lessons it appears in. All of this information was then imported into a database that was accessed by a web application she helped design for vocabulary study that allows students to specify items they know and don't know, tracks their study habits and generates quizzes customized to their particular knowledge of the items studied.

Peter Berg knows the power of suspense, but even more than that, he knows the virtue of the human spirit, as is demonstrated by his work in "Patriots Day." In a year that has already included an exhilarating demonstration with "Deepwater Horizon," Berg has found his niche and comfort zone within filmmaking. Compelling and sobering, the film pays an homage to not only the great city of Boston and its victims, but to law enforcement officials everywhere. It's an upsetting and uncomfortable experience but lingers with its gripping storytelling quality. It very well may be Berg's best film to date.
Closer to "United 93" than "World Trade Center" in terms of high-profile national tragedies on the big screen, "Patriots Day" packs a wallop of emotion, bringing to light details that the average citizen may not have been aware of during the events. Berg's attention to detail, especially in the narrative cohesion and editing is the film's supreme achievement. He recreates the attacks of this harrowing chronicle in American history, utilizing existing footage, only scarcely giving us hints of Hollywood in the production. The film is much more difficult to recommend to the average movie-goer for a casual Friday date night, but it is sure to start some much needed conversations that should be happening daily about the human spirit.
"Patriots Day" is an account of Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis' actions in the events leading up to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the aftermath, which includes the city-wide manhunt to find the terrorists behind it.
What Berg does extremely well is assemble a stellar ensemble cast, giving everyone their own assignment, each operating at their very best. With Mark Wahlberg in the lead role as Sgt. Tommy Saunders, he lifts the jarring presence of himself that was littered throughout "Lone Survivor." He manages to convey the hurt and pain of a city in one scene, and then be the beacon of hope and endurance the next. It's his best performance since his Oscar-nominated work in "The Departed."
Co-stars Kevin Bacon and John Goodman, both grossly ignored by the Academy for their entire careers, are both champions of their craft, unrivaled by their dedication to bringing these true men to life.
Playing the villain of a movie can be challenging. Playing the real-life person who committed one of the most vile acts of terrorism seen on our soil in recent memory is another hurdle on its own.
Alex Wolff and Themo Melikidze as as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev deliver immaculate work that stands toe-to-toe with some of the great supporting performances of 2016. They tap not only into evil as seen by the acts of the day, but by the vanity and hatred of motivation that drove these brothers to not only act but plan to continue their reign. They're also key examples of why we are in desperate need of a casting Oscar at the moment, because the sheer imagery of them both in comparison to the real individuals is staggering.
Most of the time, when critics name an MVP in a film, it goes to an actor or the director. In "Patriots Day," film editors Gabriel Fleming and Colby Parker, Jr. rise to their professions with respect and excellence. Cutting together heart-stopping action sequences littered with emotionally resonate beats, the team just hits a home run. That's also thanks to the talented sound team, who partnered with Oscar-winning composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to blend the two elements beautifully.
The main flaw in "Patriots Day" is the film not quite knowing when it has its audience. With a collage of interviews with real-life survivors following the end of the film, it makes a strange shift from narrative feature to an almost documentary-like structure that just feels misplaced.
"Patriots Day" has lots to celebrate. An unblemished ensemble, partnered with a near perfect crafts team, makes for a pure sentimental outing at the movies.
"Patriots Day" is distributed by CBS Films and opens in theaters on Wednesday, Dec. 21.

Delmarva Coastal Bays Workshop
On March 29th, approximately 14 people participated in a workshop on Delmarva Coastal Bays held at the USGS Baltimore Office. The workshop was organized by Bob Shedlock (USGS Baltimore) and included representatives from Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Maryland Geological Survey, and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
The purpose was to coordinate various USGS and National Park Service field activities that will occur over the next several months. Participants discussed the growing understanding of the geologic controls on groundwater discharge to the coastal bays system and other nutrient cycling issues in the bays.
Attendees from the Coastal and Marine Program included John Bratton (WHFC) and Frank Manheim (Reston), who showed results of electrical resistivity and Hover-probe coring studies in Delaware and Maryland. Other USGS presenters included Jon Dillow (WRD, Baltimore/nutrient-related water quality), Earl Greene (WRD, Baltimore/model simulations of discharge), and David Krantz (WRD, Delaware/field evidence of discharge including aerial infrared imaging).
Carl Zimmerman from the National Park Service presented an open seminar during the lunch hour entitled "Science and Resource Management at Assateague Island National Seashore," featuring a variety of issues including rare birds and plants, beach replenishment, hurricane wash-over, and pony contraception. The meeting provided an opportunity to compare preliminary data sets collected within the last few years on shore, on the water, and from the air, and to plan science and funding strategies for future work that would benefit all parties involved.

A raccoon got into some electrical equipment at the Delaware City, DE, refinery knocking a number of units offline, causing a large flaring incident Sunday night.
The raccoon got into some high-voltage switch gear at the refinery and "connected himself between a very high voltage bus bar and the ground, and that caused basically an electrical fault" said Delaware City Refinery manager Herman Seedorf. That loss of power caused a chain of events that knocked much of the refinery offline.
EPA: Leak Breaches Water Standards
DuPont: Chemical Found Off Site
Chemical Release Shuts TX Plant
Ammonia Leak at CA Nuke
Safety Report: Oil, Gas Sites True Hazards
When that happens, pressure can build up in some units because they're not operating. To relieve that pressure, the gas goes to the flare to protect the equipment, refinery workers, and those in the surrounding community.
"All those safety systems worked as designed, but as the gas goes to the flare it has to be combusted, and that's why you see a very large flare, especially when you have a number of units shut down like that," Seedorf said.
During the shutdown, more than 1,000 pounds of carbon monoxide released, according to a report released by the National Response Center. The refinery also released 500 pounds of sulfur dioxide, 100 pounds of hydrogen sulfide and 10 pounds of hydrogen cyanide.
"We lost a number of these operating units all at once, and basically that meant we had a lot of stuff relieving through the flare," Seedorf said. "There were some odors that we detected, but we also measured for any sulfur compounds that could be of concern, and there was absolutely nothing detectable by the meters that we were using."
One source of concern for Sarah Bucic who is a member of the refinery's Community Advisory Panel and others in the community following Sunday's incident was the failure of the refinery's community information line which should provide information to the public about events at the facility. "That was very unfortunate," Seedorf said. "There's a back-up generator that was supposed to go on, and for some reason on that particular night, the back-up generator didn't come on."
Determining the cause of the generator failure is just one item on a list of things refinery workers will follow up on after the incident. "We're going to find a couple of other things that we'll need to address to make it a world-class facility, and we'll continue to address those."
PBF Energy purchased the refinery in June 2010 and restarted operations at the refinery, which the previous owner Valero Energy, closed in 2009.

Before 2014, many cruise companies that faced medical malpractice lawsuits were able to get these legal actions dismissed even before trial. Obviously, courts have always decided in their favor, exempting them from any legal responsibility (even if the medical team that these have on board fails to give patients the exact treatment they need) and telling patients that they should not demand from ships' doctors and nurses the same level of medical care as on land; besides, ship doctors and nurses are beyond the direct control of cruise lines since they are private contractors.
This aura of immunity from medical malpractice is a result of decades of court decisions that have consistently acquitted cruise liners from medical negligence/liability. One case example, which cruise companies usually rely upon, is the 1988 Barbetta v. S.S. Bermuda Star lawsuit, wherein the court ruled that the duty of a carrier is to make sure that it employs a competent and duly qualified doctor; failure to do so would be violation of its duty. If the doctor hired, however, commits an act of (medical) negligence, then he or she alone, not the carrier, will be held accountable for such act.
A 2014 incident that occurred onboard one famous cruise ship led judges to reconsider the soundness of exempting cruise ships from any medical liability, considering the following facts: doctors and nurses are presented as ship personnel or employees and that their wearing of the cruise ship uniform is direct proof of this; today's cruise ships have advanced laboratories, intensive care units and technologies which will easily enable their medical personnel to link with medical experts on shore through live video conferencing; and, cruise ships take pride in their onboard medical center, making sure that this is included in their promotional materials.
Fortunately, the only treatment required by most travellers is remedy for bruises, indigestion, sea sickness and sun burns. But, though safe from any serious medical condition, they will definitely not be safe from expensive infirmary bills, which most health plans do not cover, by the way. As regards those whose condition really needs emergency attention (like drowning, stroke, heart attack, allergic reactions and appendicitis) the major issue is that most likely they will not receive the treatment they need on time or, even if they would be treated, in many instances, treatment will be from the hands of those who lack training or who are more panicky than in control of what they are doing.
In its website, the Louis A. Vucci points out the unnecessary risk of injury suffered by many cruise passengers at the hands of members of a ship's medical staff who lack training, especially for emergency situations, or who are not just capable of providing the standard of care that passengers are entitled to receive.
The laws governing cruise ship issues are much more complex than the laws governing land vehicles. There will always be a legal means for passengers who get injured during cruise vacations to get the compensation that they may be owed.
According to the US Department of Labor, prior to the passing into law of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) in 1970, 10 per 100 employees were injured at work daily, while the number of work-related death averaged to 38 every day.
Making sure that every working environment is healthy and safe for all types of employees – the main thrust of OSH Act that is strictly enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA (founded in 1971 as an offshoot of OSH Act) – caused a major change in the yearly rate of workplace injuries and fatalities, especially on the side of the private sector. Thus, because of OSH Act, the number of daily fatalities has been significantly lowered to 12, while the number of injuries has gone down to three per 100 employees.
Considering the fact, however, that majority of workplace accidents are actually consequences of employer or employee negligence, lack of care, or failure to perform one's duty in keeping the working environment safe from any risk of accident, 12 deaths and 3 injuries per 100 employees every day is not only still high, but this would also translate to millions of dollars in compensation.
Compensating workers who sustain injuries that are work related or who develop illnesses due to their work (a very common occurrence among those who are regularly exposed to hazardous chemicals) began during the early part of the 1900s. The cash benefit awarded to workers is approved and paid by the Workers' Compensation insurance program, which is mandated and administered by the state.
The cash benefit is intended to cover cost of medical treatment, hospitalization, lost wages (due to days away from work), rehabilitation and required expenses in case of employee death. Workers' Comp benefit is awarded to employees who get injured or ill, regardless or whose fault their injury or illness is; however, if their injury was self-inflicted, a result of working while drunk or due to a violation of the standards of safety imposed by the company or state, then they will lose the chance of qualifying for this benefit.
Workplace injury is a persistent problem in many working environments all across the nation. While employee and employer negligence are major factors in the occurrence of accidents that result to injuries, other significant reasons include lack of employee training on company and state rules on workplace safety, employers failing to strictly impose company policies on how to keep the workplace free from risks of accident, and putting employees in job positions where they do not really possess the required interest, skills and patience. This last factor is one of the most common roots of hazards in the workplace, as well as the frequent reason for fast employee turnover and higher Workers' Comp premiums due to high compensation claims, among others.
While many employers still linger in trying to find the best means in finding the right people for the available job, others have obviously made great strides towards increased production which convert to high profits for the company. This means answers which translate to decreased rate in employee hiring and firing, safer working environment, reduced lost time and incidences of fraud and abuse; decreased incidences of absenteeism, reduced costs of group health insurance package, and smaller workers' compensation premiums. The strategy is simple: determining the qualifications and suitability of applicants and through pre-employment screening.
This means hiring people who possess the knowledge, skills, stamina, interest and personality demanded by the job.
The website of the LaMarca Law Group, P.C. says injured workers have a basic right to receive the financial benefits provided by the Workers' Comp program. The firm also mentions, though, the financial difficulties that workers may suffer due to lost wages, especially if their injury is too severe that it would require "several days to several weeks off of work."
Other than just earnings potential, an employee should first think of safety and, rather than just filling job vacancies, employers should make sure that they have the right people for the job.
A driver's manual contains all the rules and regulations connected to driving, plus topics and images that clearly explain all about traffic signs and signals, safe vehicle operation, teens behind the wheel, accidents and emergency situations, and the various procedures involved in earning a driver's license. All these are for the purpose of making sure that anyone applying for a license will know and will observe road safety rules after being granted the privilege to drive his or her own car.
A state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), called the Department of Public Safety or Registry of Motor Vehicles in other states, is the government entity responsible for the issuance of a driver's license. Sadly, however, for despite the DMV's required education, training, and tests (manual and written) which will show the worthiness of applicants to be granted their own license, knowledge on how to drive safely and the duty to properly observe traffic safety rules are almost immediately forgotten by many drivers. How else will one explain the more than five million car crashes recorded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) every year? Worse, more than two million of these crashes result to injuries, while at least 30,000 end in death.
Every year, more and more vehicles get driven on major roads and highways all across the nation. While some accidents are blamable on acts of nature (which many others now call "Act of God") because these occur naturally devoid of human activity, such as a violent weather or an unexpected medical condition (Acts of God do not include known preexisting weather and medical conditions), more than 90% of all motor vehicle accidents are due to human fault – consequences of negligence or recklessness.
Speeding, drunk-driving, driver error and reckless driving are the top irresponsible acts or bad behaviors that cause road accidents. While certain actions, like driving after having a bottle or two of beer with colleagues after work, may be considered as lapse in judgment, some accidents, especially those resulting from reckless driving, are simply maddening since these are due to someone's wanton disregard for the safety of others.
Driving on the wrong lane, beating or going through red lights, ignoring stop signs at intersections, not slowing down when making turns, tailgating, changing lanes abruptly or without using signals, driving over the speed limit and driving while intoxicated are just few of the reckless behaviors that some drivers knowingly or carelessly commit and which make roads no longer safe for other motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcycle riders.
What may be considered as reckless driving is not always specifically outlined by the law; thus, it is often left to the discretion of the officer involved if the driver at fault in an accident will be charged with reckless driving or with some other traffic violation.
Since the consequence of a car accident will definitely affect the life of the victim and his/her family, especially if it results to severe or disabling injuries or, worse, death, it can be wise to seek assistance from a seasoned personal injury lawyer.
According to the US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment rate during year-ends 2012, 2013 and 2014 were 7.9, 6.7 and 5.6, respectively (from a high of 9.9 during the Great Recession of 2008-09). While the term unemployment may suggest a negative meaning (such as when people are laid off or quit their work while looking for a new job) or a positive meaning (as may be the case when a company makes technological improvements, replacing human workers with machines for consistently fast work output, or when a job is outsourced), for workers who have been displaced from their work, the term can only signify one sense: financial problems.
For millions of wage earners in the US, who may just have enough salary to enable them to cover all their financial concerns between salary dates, losing their source of income, even for just a month or two, can result to unpaid monthly bills, loans or mortgages – the possible start of a crushing debt crisis.
Banks give debtors the chance to settle late payments for their loans; however, after being continuously delinquent for about three to six months, rules will require these banks to consider unpaid bills as bad debts and, so, refer a debtor's account to a collection agency, which does not shy away from using hounding tactics in order to make a debtor pay.
The stress and difficulty that debtors experience in coping with their debts. Besides the sleepless nights due to inability to pay their mortgage, car loan, student loan, medical bills and/or credit card bills, the thought of the possibility of losing their home or car plus all the text messages, letters, emails, phone calls and other forms of harassing tactics from collection agents, can be just too much. But rather than allowing debtors to legally suffer the consequences of their delinquency or inability to pay, this Greenway Bankruptcy Law firm informs debtors that there are various types of solutions, legal ones, which will save them from all forms of debts, regardless of how enormous these may be. One of these solutions is bankruptcy, designed as a legal means for individuals and businesses to get out of debt for a chance at a brand new financial start.
The Bankruptcy Code, which was enacted by the US Congress in 1978 and which completely replaces the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, also called the Nelson Act, is composed of various Bankruptcy Chapters (7, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 15, which was added to the Bankruptcy Code in 2005) each designed to address the specific financial situation of those seeking protection under the Bankruptcy law.
Records from the United States Courts (http://www.uscourts.gov/statistics-reports/us-bankruptcy-courts-judicial-business-2014) show that from 2010 to 2013, the average number of bankruptcy applications filed in various U.S. federal bankruptcy courts was 1,358,104. The average number of applications filed during the same years under the different Chapters is as follows: Chapter 7 = 952,948; Chapter 11 = 11, 583; Chapter 12 = 582; and, Chapter 13 = 392, 879.
Chapter 7, specifically, which is the bankruptcy chapter most commonly applied for, involves liquidation. This chapter requires a debtor to surrender all of his/her "non-exempt" properties for liquidation and cease operation of his/her business if he/she has one. Non-exempt properties usually include a vacation home, a second house, expensive musical instruments (but only if the debtor is not a musician by trade), cash, bonds, stocks and other forms of investment. Exempt properties, on the other hand, include items which are considered necessary for working and living; a number of examples are a house, a vehicle (or vehicles but only up to a certain value), clothing, necessary household appliances, personal injury compensation, tools necessary to the debtor's trade or profession, and jewelry (up to a certain value).
A trustee appointed by the court will take charge of the liquidation of the debtor's non-exempt properties and use the amount earned to pay all of the debtor's non-dischargeable debts, such as child support and alimony or spousal support, court fees, government-imposed penalties, debts resulting from wrongful death or personal injury, student loans (unless debtor would suffer "undue hardship" if he/she were to keep paying these), and taxes (federal, state, and local) that are no more than 3 years old since these first became due. If the amount of liquidated properties is more than enough to pay all non-dischargeable debts, the remaining amount will have to be returned to the debtor. Otherwise, creditors will have to accept the (legally determined) amount they are paid, even if this falls short of the actual amount owed to them. Besides this, they should also follow a decision made by the court which is to forgive any balance from the debt and to stop any further collection of payment, or suffer severe penalties under federal law.
With regard to other debts, which include medical bills, past utility bills, personal loan from employer, family or friends, and, most especially, credit card bills, all of these are considered dischargeable debts, thus the court automatically frees the debtor from any further obligation of paying these, at the same time ordering creditors to cease any form of collection from the debtor.
Furthermore, once bankruptcy is filed in court, the debtor immediately is benefitted as all interest charges on loans as well as all legal and harassing tactics from creditors will cease; this is called the "automatic stay." Even a single attempt by a creditor to try to make a debtor pay can result to legal consequences against him or her.
Each bankruptcy chapter has requirements which will determine qualification. For chapter 7, an applicant will be required to take a means test – this is to determine if his/her salary is within the limit set under this specific chapter.
The law firm Erin B. Shank, PC, explains on its website how filing for bankruptcy can help an individual or business "restructure, significantly reduce, or altogether eliminate" debts and work towards financial independence. It is necessary, however, that one first understands what bankruptcy really is, what it does and which chapter will address and solve all financial problems, considering such individual's or business' specific financial situation.
One drug that is included in the World Health Organization's list of medicines necessary in the basic health system and which, in 2006, became one of the top selling drugs in the US, is Zofran. Generically known as Ondansetron, Zofran was formulated to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting in patients who have just had surgery, radiation therapy or cancer chemotherapy – the same purpose for which this drug was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1991.
Due to Zofran's efficacy in blocking serotonin, a natural substance inside the body that causes vomiting, its manufacturer, London-based GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), confidently endorsed it for off-label use, specifically for relief from morning sickness, which pregnant women feel during the first trimester of their pregnancy. Aside from this, GSK, as affirmed by the US Department of Justice, also rewarded doctors who prescribed Zofran for morning sickness.
One major issue that involved GSK, Zofran and pregnant women (even prior to Zofran being recommended to treat morning sickness) was the fact that GSK had never tested Zofran on pregnant women, thus the absence of records which will show if the drug is actually safe or harmful to the mother or her unborn child or to both. It seems, however, that the truth behind this issue of being safe or harmful has been known by GSK as early as 1992 due to lawsuit based on birth defect that was filed against it. Despite this knowledge, said manufacturer continued to promote Zofran to treat morning sickness.
There are many different side effects linked to Zofran, including swelling of the body, fainting, difficulty in breathing and/or swallowing, drowsiness, tiredness, dizziness or lightheadedness, constipation, headache, and irregularity in heartbeat. However, none of these side-effects can outweigh the severity of harm which is birth defect (such as cleft palate, cleft lip, or congenital heart defects) which also happens to be the basis of so many lawsuits against GSK.
There are many other things that Zofran users need to understand about this drug, including details about the birth defects linked to it, its history with the FDA, what this product really is, and the legal rights of individuals harmed by it. Information about other defective pharmaceutical products can be found at www.williamskherkher.com/practice-areas/defective-pharmaceuticals/.
While it is the duty of drug and medical supply manufacturers to ensure the effectivity and safety of all their products, they are not given the right to market these products for off-label use. Even if a product is intended as treatment for only one type of health condition, manufacturers still have the legal and moral obligation to test it to clearly determine who can use it safely and who can be harmed by it.
It is alarming, therefore, to know that tens of thousands of patients remain to be harmed either by prescription drugs or medical devices every year. Zofran is just one of the hundreds of drugs found and proven to cause adverse effects; with regard to medical devices, one recently identified harmful product is the power morcellator, a medical device designed to cut large tissues into tiny pieces.
Morcellators were introduced in the 1990s and were intended to aid physicians perform a laparoscopic surgery (such as hysterectomy and myomectomy) that is as painless and bloodless as possible, besides being a fast procedure. Furthermore, unlike in open surgery, the traditional way of performing surgeries, an abdominal incision that was about six to nine inches long is required, while in a laparoscopic surgery, which is a minimally invasive procedure and which makes use of a morcellator, four very tiny incisions, each measuring about 0.5 – 1cm. are all that is required.
Myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus, while hysterectomy is a procedure wherein the entire uterus, or womb, is removed due to any of the following conditions:
Despite the benefits and advantages provided by morcellators, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a safety communication notice to doctors on April 17, 2014, to discourage them from the further use of the device in surgical procedures, especially in fibroids removal through myomectomy. Morcellators, as studies show, caused the development of leiomyosarcoma, a deadly type of cancer, during the morcellation/cutting of these fibroids. The actual reason behind the development of leiomyosarcoma is the spread of the almost undetectable cancerous tissues called uterine sarcoma, which usually grows with fibroids and which also gets cut into very small pieces (along with the fibroids).
The first company to respond to the FDA's safety communication notice was Ethicon, a unit of Johnson & Johnson and which happens to be the largest manufacturer of power morcellators around the globe. While Ethicon's move to cease the manufacture, promotion and sales of its morcellators may be considered as a really positive move, it may have come late as thousands of women have already been treated with the device.
Definitely, not all of those who have been treated with a morcellator will develop leiomyosarcoma since not all those with fibroids also have uterine sarcoma. For those who have been diagnosed with the deadly cancer, however, consulting with a morcellator lawsuit attorney may be in their best interest. A website with address, www.williamskherkher.com/practice-areas/defective-pharmaceuticals/morcellators/ offers substantial information which someone diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma may just want to know.

This company is licensed to operate in 10 states, but it has strong plans to expand its business in other regions in the nearest future.
Actually, Safeway is a group of companies that operate in specific states.
Unfortunately, average consumers may not be able to purchase auto insurance for major companies for many reasons.
For example, some of them may have several driving violations, while others can't afford the payment of this coverage or they consider many variables.
The good news is that Safeway specializes in offering a range of flexible and convenient products designed for average consumers.
This credible insurance agency offers both standard and no-fault policies, and this company is small enough to provide people with great flexibility under extenuating circumstances.
It offers special non-standard policies to drivers who have blemished driving records.
Each state has its own minimum coverage requirements according to specific conditions of the location.
Safeway claims to provide all policyholders with minimum coverage fast if they require something on the spot. So, consumers aren't forced to accept any extra or unnecessary coverage.
When establishing auto insurance over the phone, clients make their down payments and cover the premium of the first month, but they don't really get a verification of policy terms.
The overview of their policies is a declaration page.
The official website of Safeway insurance offers everything needed.

They are also eligible to verify if their insurance payments are received by entering their last names, policy numbers and dates of birth online.

DOMA defense in turmoil
The House of Representatives' courtroom defense of the Defense of Marriage Act suffered a serious jolt Monday after the law firm the House hired to argue the law's constitutionality in up to a dozen pending court challenges abruptly withdrew — and the former solicitor general heading up the defense resigned from the firm to stay on the case.
Just a week ago, House officials announced they had signed up Atlanta-based King & Spalding and prominent constitutional lawyer Paul Clement, a former solicitor general under President George W. Bush, to defend the constitutionality of the 1996 law barring federal recognition of same-sex marriage. The defense of the law fell to the House after President Barack Obama instructed the Justice Department to abandon defense of a key portion of the law because he and Attorney General Eric Holder concluded it was unconstitutional.
Story Continued Below
The House's appointment of outside counsel was made — and a contract for up to $500,000 issued — over the objection of House Democratic leaders, who called the effort a waste of taxpayer money.
However, late last week, King & Spalding came under pressure from gay rights activists decrying the firm's decision to back a law some view as unfair discrimination. On Monday morning, King & Spalding chairman Robert Hays Jr. announced that the firm was backing out.
"In reviewing this assignment further, I determined that the process used for vetting this engagement was inadequate," Hays wrote. "Ultimately, I am responsible for any mistakes that occurred and apologize for the challenges this may have created."
Minutes later, Clement announced — in a blistering letter — that he was quitting the firm and planning to see through the defense of DOMA.
"I resign out of the firmly held belief that a representation should not be abandoned because the client's legal position is extremely unpopular in certain quarters. Defending unpopular clients is what lawyers do," Clement wrote to Hays. "I recognized from the outset that this statute implicates very sensitive issues that prompt strong views on both sides. But having undertaken the representation, I believe there is no honorable course for me but to complete it."
"Efforts to delegitimize any representation for one side of a legal controversy are a profound threat to the rule of law," Clement said. "If there were problems with the firm's vetting process, we should fix the vetting process, not drop the representation."
Clement said he planned to keep up the DOMA defense and was joining Bancroft PLLC, a small Washington firm that is home to one of Clement's former colleagues in the Bush Justice Department, Viet Dinh.

Annise Parker clarifies things for HPD
As our story goes, Moore was arrested Nov. 17 for violating Section 28-20 of the municipal code -- "Entering restrooms of opposite sex" -- after an officer determined that she was legally Nathanial Tyrone Moore, an individual with a penis.
Though Moore went on to plead guilty (in order, it was said, to get out of jail), the mayor later described the arrest as "not about behavior" but about the officer's apparent misunderstanding of an executive order she issued last spring, forbidding any city employee from impeding access "by any employee or member of the public to a city restroom facility that is consistent with and appropriate to that person's expression of gender identity."
This misunderstanding "needs to be clarified," the mayor said, and earlier this week, an HPD spokesman, John Cannon, confirmed for Hair Balls that the department has been reviewing its enforcement policy for Section 28-20 with the city attorney's office. Cannon referred questions there, and yesterday, the mayor's press secretary, Jessica Michan, e-mailed with answers.
The mayor has said she is committed to "providing practical solutions in a diverse city," and Michan made clear that providing everyone a comfortable public restroom is "the goal of the order."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The order and ordinance work together like this, she explained: Section 28-20 declares it illegal to enter a restroom of the opposite sex only if done "without the permission of the owner." And the mayor's order, which applies only to buildings owned by the city, grants the public "permission to use the restroom appropriate to the gender with which they identify."
What this means is that Tyjanae Moore didn't need a genitals check to enter the ladies room in the city library. Trannies don't either, and no one does, and HPD officers no longer have to bother trying to sort the right genitals into the proper box, because where city-owned buildings are concerned, the ordinance governing who enters what restroom is no longer genitals-based.
Henceforth, everyone may use the restroom appropriate to the gender with which they identify. Everyone can go to the restroom he (or she) damn well pleases!
At least in city-owned buildings. As to whether the mayor hopes to assure transgenders city-wide access to public bathrooms, her press secretary said, "Not at this time."

Donald Trump's assertions during the Aug. 6 Republican presidential candidates' debate on Fox that Mexico deliberately sends us its rejects are easily proven. His contention that Mexico will pay for the wall is also realistic [Aug. 7, Page 1, "Sharp Jabs At GOP Debate"].
How can such a large number of illegal aliens reach our borders, especially if most of them come from Central America, as one of the candidates at the debate declared?
Mexico is well-known for its intolerance of illegal immigrants within its borders. So, how can hundreds of people cross thousands of miles of Mexican soil without being detained?
Suppose American authorities acted similarly and allowed illegal aliens passage all the way up to the Canadian border? Do you think Ottawa would hold back denouncing Washington's criminal crashing of their party?
Mexicans send millions in remittances home. What if America told the Mexican government that unless they ponied up to pay for the wall, all such money would be stopped? Didn't we cripple the Iranian economy by putting a stranglehold on their assets, until President Obama punked out and agreed to unfreeze $150 billion for the "Death to America" mullahs?
Trump is correct. America is a loser.

RUSSIA'S SMASHING BLOW. I I Austrian Army Reported in Retreat. 11,000 Prisoners Taken Predicament of German Force Against Warsaw. The claims made during the last day or two on behalf of the Russians that they have held up the Austro-German advance in Galicia, seem to have been more than justified. There have been significant allusions in the Austrian com- R f d d muniques to strong new Russian f -orces, and to-day comes news that the Austrian Archduke's forces operating in Galicia, together with the German troops on the south- fl 1. A"T'" 1 ern flank, are in retreat. A" Times war te l egram adds that General Von Woyrech, on the northern Galician flank, has sustained a smashing blow. Nor does it seem that the blow against Warsaw is meeting any better fate, and an optimistic view goes to show that the enemy have been led into a trap. Petrograd, Thursday. The Archduke's Army has sustained a serious reverse. Some German troops on the Archduke's southern flank are involved in the retreat. The enemy's armies m Gal1- cia are at a standstill, their communications being endan- gered by the retreat of the Archduke. General Von Woyrech, on the Archduke's northern flank, has sustained a smash- ing blow.—l< Times" War Telegrams. 11,000 PRISONERS..

The Austro-German armies which are attacking northward in the Vistula-Bug triangle for the time being are making no headway, and the admissions made in the Vienna communique suggest that thoey have been ratier saw.fely handled. In view of the supreme importance of retaining possession of the Lublin-Choim railway, connecting Warsaw and the cent.ral armies with the Russian forces in Galicia. it was certain that the Grand Duke would make a great effort to ar. rest the Archduke Jo.w"{)h"s advance. n living allowed the Austrians to reach tlx* difficult ground about 15 miles south of the railway, where thev were deprived of the assistance of their own railways. the Grand Duke eent large reinforce- ments, and iferce counter-attacks were made. Sino winning Krasnik a few days ago the Austricrl6 had gone forward fonr or five miles. Here the Russians engaged them on the banks of the small River UrTiedowka. and threw them back in complete disorder. The Petrograd com- munique which was issued on Wednesday night, here breaks off, but the Vienna report of yesterday's date carries on the story. The Russian counter-attacks were so successful that the Archduke's troops were obliged to retire to the heights north of Krasnik, so that apparently the ground won in the last few days has been lost. Attacks Severely Punished.

I Petrogra,d, Thursday.—The military critics anticipate farther heavy lighting between the Vistula and the Bug; to the south of Lublin and Ciiolm Tbe repulses of the enemy during the last three days Oil the whole of this front eliminate any l idea of that fighting blow for which the I Russians are prepared. The Russians are extremely mobile owing to their railways, whereas the enemies' present communications in this country are notoriously ill-eerved with roads. Furthermore, the Russians are fighting with confidence and inspiration with the Ivangorof—Brest—Litovsk line behind them. The armies of the Archduke Joseph, General Mac-kensen, and General Boehm Ermollis each occupy a front of, roughly, 5) miles.-Preas Assoctation Vy- ar Special. What the Enemy Say*.

AMERICA'S PROTEST I SIGNS THAT LUSITAN!A C3HTR0VE8SY I HAS REACHED CRiTiSAL STAGE. EXTRAORDINARY PROPOSAL New York. Friday.—An Associated Press telegram from Washington say6: There are many evidences in official circles that the German oontroversy has again reached & critical stage. The Ger- man proposals are not regarded as bring- ing the questions between the United States and Germany nœnr a settktiifnt i than they were weeks ago. Such conces- sions as are out.hned are regarded as l b?t a plight departure from Germany'si illgal position, whereas the officials point out that the United States is holding a Gtrictly legal position and cap-not, make any changes, or surrender any points. It is understood that Count Be-rn&torff dispatched a wireless message to Germany to-day fitatisg that tho proposals were not a,?eeptablo to the United States, and that the Amerk&a pœition is that Ger- many must first recognise the principle that unarmed and unrefcibtiiig merchant ships must be visited, &nd searched, and that the passengers and Te-W must be re- moved to a l?lae* of safety before the vessel is destroyed. Until such an agreement, is reached the United States cannot discuss any temporary arrange- mente. An Extraordinary Proposal. I It is believed that Count Bornstorff urged Germany to make a broad state- ment of its principles, reserving untile later the discussion of arrangements for pooaengar and contraband traffic. Re- garding "he suggestio* contained in the German Note that the American authori- ties and German consular officials should certify the character of vessels carrying Americans, the officials point out. jt is most improbable that Great Britain 1 would agree to siich an extraordinary procedure, or recognise the right of I American officials to ta?e any action other than t? CMurp against neutrality violations. Whil? th? Fnibed States is willing to assist in arranging the safe carriage of Americana on board belli- gerent passenger ships, if arrangements aro first made between l>olli £ erents themselves, for the United States on its own initiative to make concessions would imperil American rights with other belligerents.
