Legal obligations of persons who are in accidents involving injuries vary from state to state. However, they must typically notify emergency personnel at the very least, and some states mandate the uninjured driver must assist the injury victim in other capacities, if necessary. It is also the duty of all persons involved in the accident to share personal contact and insurance information with one another. If a driver leaves the scene of the accident hastily without having met these requirements, he or she could face civil and criminal ramifications.
Civil Consequences of Leaving the Accident Scene
Motorists who leave the scene of an accident may face civil liability. The victim is eligible to bring suit against the negligent driver for engendering the accident, and for any injuries or harm which may have been worsened by the delay in receiving medical attention.
In addition to compensation for medical expenses and lost earnings, a defendant would most likely be ordered to pay the victim punitive damages. As the name implies, punitive damages are intended to admonish a wrongdoer, and stop others from making the same mistake. Punitive damages are determined on a subjective scale based on how nefarious the driver's actions were, as well as his or her net worth.
Criminal Consequences of Leaving the Accident Scene
If a person is injured, fatally or otherwise, you could face incarceration if you flee the scene after striking them with your vehicle and not stopping to help them. The criminal sanctions can range from a misdemeanor to a felony, depending on the severity of the injuries and type of damage. If a death occurred, it is automatically a felony offense to flee the scene of an accident.
Additionally, a criminal case and a civil case can be brought against a hit and run driver simultaneously. However, the criminal case will typically be allowed to proceed ahead of the civil case. A criminal conviction may be used as supplemental evidence to support the corresponding civil suit, and is strong indication of liability that can expedite the civil proceedings.
The law upholds that every person is conscious of their duties at an accident scene, therefore, committing a hit and run could be admissible in court as evidence of awareness of responsibility.

Robert E. Lee's demand for the surrender of John Brown and his party, October 18, 1859
On October 16, 1859, abolitionist John Brown and his "army" of some 20 men seized the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia) in preparation for his war for slave liberation. By the morning of October 18, when Brown refused to accept the terms of this note, marines under the command of Bvt. Col. Robert E. Lee, stormed the building and captured Brown and the survivors of his party. The operation that Brown envisioned as the first blow in a war against slavery was over in 36 hours.

Slaughters hands NQ lawyers salary bump to £63,000
Readers' comments (9)
I can't think of any other industry that gives its staff pay rises of almost £10k a year, no wonder so many graduates wants to go into law
@Anon - Where did you get the £10k a year figure from?
@Anon 2:47 - Presumably you're talking about the pay difference between bands? This is pretty common across the professions - think accountancy, medicine etc. It reflects the fact that each year's experience makes you a much more valuable employee and that your job description is contantly evolving (the job done by a 3 PQE tends to be pretty different from that done by a trainee). Unless you make partner it does eventually tail off to circa 2% rises.
Its such a wonderful firm - with no bullying partners causing stress to associates - no all that's been thoroughly rooted out by a strong HR team - of course it has!
@ Anon (3.22pm) - I think Anon above is referring to the payrise as you progress through the lockstep i.e. 1PQE to 2 PQE (£8.5k) and 2PQE to 3PQE (£8k).
X on £43K as a second year trainee moves on as a one year PQE to £63K. Nice work if you can get it - but it is getting more difficult to obtain a training contract.
From antitrust point of view, this is called "signalling", i.e. letting your competitors know what your main costs are with the aim of having those competitors then adjust their competitive behaviour accordingly. The quote is just a perfect example. Hopefully the OFT will read this.
That's still 30K short of what an NQ at a US firm in London makes and I know from personal experience that the hours are the same if not better at most US firms in London because work just doesn't come in as consistently as it does at the MC firms...
Wow! I am over 20 years qualified and earning much less than trainee solicitors.Who said personal injury work is lucrative.I need to work in the City!

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is cancer of the lymphoid tissue, which includes the lymph nodes, spleen, and other organs of the immune system.
Alternative Names
Lymphoma - non-Hodgkin's; Lymphocytic lymphoma; Histiocytic lymphoma; Lymphoblastic lymphoma; Cancer - non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
White blood cells called lymphocytes are found in lymph tissues. Most lymphomas start in a type of white blood cells called B lymphocytes, or B cells.
For most patients, the cause of this cancer is unknown. However, lymphomas may develop in people with weakened immune systems. For example, the risk of lymphoma increases after an organ transplant or in people with HIV infection.
There are many different types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is classified according to how fast the cancer spreads.
- The cancer may be low grade (slow growing), intermediate grade, or high grade (fast growing). Burkitt's tumor is an example of a high-grade lymphoma.
- The cancer is further sub-classified by how the cells look under the microscope, for example, if there are certain proteins or genetic markers present.
According to the American Cancer Society, a person has a 1 in 50 chance of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Most of the time, this cancer affects adults. However, children can get some forms of lymphoma. High-risk groups include those who have received an organ transplant or who have a weakened immune system.
This type of cancer is slightly more common in men than in women.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can cause a variety of symptoms. Symptoms depend on what area of the body is affected by the cancer and how fast the cancer is growing.
Symptoms may include:
- Night sweats (soaking the bedsheets and pajamas even though the room temperature is not too hot)
- Fever and chills that come and go
- Severe itchiness that cannot be explained
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, groin, or other areas
- Unintentional weight loss and loss of appetite
Coughing or shortness of breath may occur if the cancer affects the thymus gland or lymph nodes in the chest, which may put pressure on the windpipe (trachea) or other airways.
Some patients may have abdominal pain or swelling, which may lead to a loss of appetite, constipation, nausea, and vomiting.
If the cancer affects cells in the brain, the person may have a headache, concentration problems, personality changes, or seizures.
Signs and tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam and check body areas with lymph nodes to feel if they are swollen. Tests to diagnose and stage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma include:
- Blood chemistry tests, includes protein levels, liver function tests, kidney function tests, and uric acid levels
- Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
- CBC to check for anemia and low white blood cell count
- CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis
- Gallium scan
- Lymph node biopsy
- PET (positron emission tomography) scan
- X-rays
Treatment primarily depends on:
- The type of lymphoma
- The stage of the cancer when you are first diagnosed
- Your age and overall health
- Symptoms, including weight loss, fever, and night sweats
Radiation therapy may be used for disease that is confined to one body area.
Chemotherapy is commonly used as the main form of treatment. Most often,multiple different drugs are used in combination together.
Another drug, called rituximab (Rituxan), is often used to treat B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Radioimmunotherapy may be used in some cases. This involves linking a radioactive substance to an antibody that targets the cancerous cells and injecting the substance into the body.
People with lymphoma that returns after treatment or does not respond to treatment may receive high-dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous bone marrow transplant (using stem cells from yourself).
Additional treatments depend on other symptoms. They may include:
- Transfusion of blood products, such as platelets or red blood cells, to fight low platelet counts and anemia
- Antibiotics to fight infection, especially if a fever occurs
Support Groups
The stress of illness may be eased by joining a support group whose members share common experiences and problems.
Expectations (prognosis)
Low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually cannot be cured by chemotherapy alone. However, the low-grade form of this cancer progresses slowly, and it may take many years before the disease gets worse or even requires any treatment.
Chemotherapy can often cure many types of high-grade lymphoma. However, if the cancer does not respond to chemotherapy drugs, the disease can cause rapid death.
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Infection
- Side effects of chemotherapy drugs
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of this disorder.
If you have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, call your health care provider if you experience persistent fever or other signs of infection.

- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014I had been here before and wanted to take my mom somewhere special for her birthday. It was perfect. They put this fancy sparkler for a candle in her dessert. The food was outstanding as usual and the service was great. We were there on a Sunday night so it wasn't very crowded and it was nice to have a quiet & relaxing birthday dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentlovekeywestDined on 9/25/2014We both had the filet and it was excellent! Would gladly return. Had a special - $ 15 off bottles of wine which was nice and they celebrated my husband's birthday with a huge sparkler in his dessert. Very nice surprise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely DelightfulMaddogDined on 9/15/2014My beloved wife and I dined at Michaels Restaurant in Key West and found it to be absolutely delightful. My wife had a salad and entree from the Specials Menu and both were excellent. I had the "Our Salad" which was salami, shrimp, pepperoncinis, egg, provolone, roasted red bell pepper and Bermuda onion tossed in a creamy Pecorino-Romano dressing and it was delicious. For my entree I had the Filet al Forno, which is a Filet Mignon topped with roasted garlic and Roquefort cheese. It was tasty and cooked just right. The service was friendly and attentive. This restaurant is certainly worth your time and moneySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best restaurant in Key WestDiner722VIPDined on 9/8/2014A server at another restaurant recommended Michaels and we were not disappointed. You don't think great steakhouses in Key West but the steaks are as good as any I have had anywhere. Kim,our server, was fantastic. My wife had the veal and declared it the best ever. Highly recommend Michaels while in Key West.Special Features:
- Lack of leadershipCheetahDined on 9/5/2014With a nice atmosphere like they have, no concerns for patrons. With a loud and obviously low class group of drunks no efforts were made by anyone to quiet them down. Always a problem in Kye West, but others have handled in better ways. Rounded the whole experience and will not come back, there are many resturants here so good competition. As a local I usually recieve a discount and better care. They shoud have moved us or done something, or compted us. But no apologies were even offered by the oblivious matrede .
- Used to be goodFoodiex2Dined on 9/4/2014Now overCooked food. The fish was way too overdone and bland, salads had too much dressing, and lettuce wilted. The beef was unedible, way over-cooked as well. Strange as we have had some good meals here but now will not return. Thankfully the service was quick as our friends had gone the night before and waited close to 2hrs for their entrees..
- Michaels Is GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/31/2014They have plenty of room inside and outside (covered) for you to choose, and the inside room where I sat had two tables and was very romantic. Michaels is a little bit pricey, but it is worth the extra expense, and it's a nice change to the food on Duval Street. It was within walking distance from the B & B we were staying at, in fact it was literally right around the corner. The food was hot and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary DinnerdinewithconfidenceDined on 8/28/2014My husband and I, along with our son and his fiancé, celebrated our anniversary at Michaels. We were extremely pleased with the food, service and ambiance of Michaels and will definitely return in the future. It is one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Key West. We have been going to Key West for 10 years and have eaten at many very good restaurants, but none compared to this. Would/will recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a really special place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Superb!HmcowgirlDined on 8/12/2014Everything was delicious from our salads and appetizers, to our entrees. Then the neopolitan key line dessert was the perfect finale with the crisp wafers and fresh berries. We would definitely go back the next time we're in the Keys!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZING!!!MsgrDined on 8/3/2014Simply amazing!!! The food, the service, the ambiance, the wine, all exquisite! Off the beaten path but well worth the walk both ways!! We WILL return, hopefully with a sizeable group. Perfect for an intimate dinner, a gathering, meeting friends. FAR EXCEEDED A&BSpecial Features:
- great food + Chicago beefqjacksonDined on 7/27/2014The owner Michael has roots in Chicago so that was a plus for me. The food was amazing. The only set back was the typical Key West night time heat and humidity.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always outstandingTinabinaDined on 7/25/2014We enjoyed another wonderful evening at Michael's. We were in excellent hands with Todd at the helm. Michael's is a mandatory stop each time we visit Key West and we were not disappointed this visit. We look forward to seeing you next time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bourbon and SNL RecapsWoztini1Dined on 7/25/2014What a delightful evening. We had the pleasure of dining on the patio and Rob took care of us. We became fast friends. He was on the money with all his recommendations. The Peppered Ahi Tuna was off-the-charts. We all went with the Veal Chop, as we are already frequent flyers with Allen Brothers in the red meat department. It DID NOT disappoint. We had lots of bourbon (which is not the norm for Key West) and their selection was vast. Somehow we got onto the top of SNL when it was actually good. Lots of laughs and impersonations by all. Thanks for a wonderful evening! See you next year!Special Features:
- Hidden GemJuicyDined on 7/23/2014The food and the service were excellent. I just didn't like sitting at the bar to wait for our table because we were 10 min. early and several tables were open. Other then that, excellent dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/22/2014From the front door greeting to the beautifully set table I special requested, our party of 6 wanted for nothing. The wine , the food & the service was just as always, perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, Good ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/22/2014It's pricey, but you feel satisfied after dinner. They take good care of their customers too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of Key West's bestWreenoDined on 7/21/2014Always one of Key West's best dining experiences. The food, ambiance, and service are always top notch in this restaurant in a once private residence.Special Features:
- Exciting FindKeyWestTouristDined on 7/21/2014I found this restaurant while searching on the internet. Once in Key West, talking to a few locals, they were surprised because they considered it a local favorite. Personally, I'm glad we found it because the meal was amazing. The cocktails also were well made with great flavor. Dessert was also delicious. My wife and i enjoyed the outdoor seating near a water feature. It's also within easy walking distance from most of Key West's main attractions.Special Features:
- A MUST in Old Town Key West.Shoshonna721Dined on 7/21/2014Simply the best. FOOD was absurdly good, staff extremely pleasant and attentive, and the historic charm of Michael's made 6 people, including 2 teens, extremely happy. We will go back, absolutely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good find away from DuvalTknoGeekDined on 7/20/2014Great tasting food with very good service. We sat outside on their patio and found the ambience quite enjoyable. This restaurant is a few blocks away from the...energy of Duval Street so it's nice and relaxed. We recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meat loaf nightMikeVIPDined on 7/17/2014I had been threatening to have the meatloaf for 12 years, and finaly did tonite. Had the Lighter Menu portion and it was delicious. I won't wait that long again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tribe chiefTribechiefVIPDined on 7/12/2014We have eaten at Michael's often, but not recently. The service was fine. The interior space is tired. The prices -even for Key West -are astronomical: $ 37 for a simply prepared local fish- $60 for a a bottle of Macon-are you kidding? I could eat at LeBernadin for about the same.
- Great Food and accommodatingCRZYK9SDined on 7/5/2014This was our third time here and as always the service and food is wonderful. My wife is a vegetarian and has certain dietary restrictions there're always very accommodating in making sure she is able to have a great experience too. The restaurant is nestled in a house in Old town and that adds great ambience. Almost forgot the Key Lime Pie is really good :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RTRfoodieVIPDined on 7/5/2014Fabulous time sharing such a wonderful restaurant with great friends. We had to add more guests at the last hour and were graciously accommodated. Brady as usual, was an outstanding server. We will continue to recommend this fabulous place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful eveningLuvgreatfoodDined on 7/5/2014The menu is varied so everyone can find something to their liking. The food is delicious and the wait staff are very nice. The pricing is also at a level for various wallets. A wonderful time was had by all. We go,at least once,every time we are in Key West.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Great; Service LackingMommaDined on 6/28/2014Michael's is a lovely Key West restaurant and one of our favorites. We took our realtor to dinner to thank him for closing a deal for us. We arrived a bit early for our 7:00 p.m. reservation but were seated immediately. There were waitstaff milling around and they were attentive to other tables but no one checked on us. Perhaps they were waiting for the final member of our party to arrive but I don't think that is any sort of excuse not to check in with us. After about 10 minutes the busboy finally brought us water and bread but we still hadn't been addressed by the waitstaff. Finally, after 17 minutes of waiting, our waiter sauntered over to take our drink order. Service the rest of the night was spotty, at best. Food was fabulousSpecial Features:
- Anniversary DinnerJodeeDined on 6/26/2014Went to Key West for our 10th anniversary and choose Michaels for our anniversary dinner. We ate outside by the fountain, shaded and fans so perfect temperature. Fabulous wine list. We ordered crab cakes, steak and a shrip with pasta. Everything was amazing!! Great service without being pretentious. We will be back to Key West and back to Michaels.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and characterLove2eatDined on 6/25/2014This place was recommended to us and I am glad we came. The service was great and the food was amazing. It made for such a good night out for my wife and I.Special Features:
- AmazingWonderfulDined on 6/24/2014We 1st went to Michaels for our wedding dinner 4 years ago, we wanted to go back for our anniversary dinner and again it did not disappoint. Amazing food with flavor that knocks you off your feet, great service from our server Kim. It is an eloquent yet comfortable spot.Special Features:
- Michaels Key WestchapelhillchuckDined on 6/21/2014Maybe we were tired from being in the sun all day or the late reservation that we booked but this was a good but not great dinner. I think it started with having a hard time finding a place to park that wasn't reserved for the local residences. Our table was in the middle of the restaurant and we were surrounded by parties of 4 and 6 that were not talking in whispers. the service was solid but off just a little to result in a 3 star rating rather than 4. My award - winning veal chop was tasty but being stuffed with a very salty ham did not suit my taste. However the grouper that my wife had was very tasty. I would go back and give it another try.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Evening!REPMAPDined on 6/16/2014We had an incredible experience at Michael's. The restaurant is in what appears to be an original Key West style residence, with charm and character, inside is a formal dining room and outside is cozy Key West style raw bar feeling seating. The food was delishious, meals original yet grounded in Key's traditions; we recommend the Seafood Jambalia. The service was perfect, great smiles and friendly interactions. They were constantly attending to us, but didn't make it a distraction. Great place for a special occasion. We can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great steaks!TheresaDined on 6/14/2014Excellent food and great service, too. Stop making me type 50 characters.Special Features:
- Great menu, great selectionOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/13/2014This was the second time that my family ate at Micheals, and it was worth the trip back. The menu had a great selection of items from steak, veal chop to seafood. I had the scallops with brie with a port wine reduction as an appetizer, and it was fabulous! I had the macadamia crusted mahi as my main course, and that too was outstanding. My husband had the veal chop and my kids had steak and pasta and they throughly enjoyed their meal.Special Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/12/2014We went to Michael's for our anniversary dinner and it was great. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the key west area in the future. Great food, good service overall good experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A key west classicElevatedLadyDined on 6/11/2014As a local I have dined here many times. I like taking visitors here because I know they will get a great meal and it's a true example of a classic neighborhood gem. Hidden away among historic homes, the neighborhood is delightful to stroll through.

Honoring a Cherished Father
Penny Blatt keeps her father's memory alive with a gift to Temple University Hospital and Temple University School of Medicine.
Story by Andrew Smith
Photography by Jim Roese Photography
Though Abraham M. Rechtman, MED '23, passed away more than 40 years ago, his daughter is still reminded of him regularly.
"People frequently come up to me and tell me that my father operated on them or on one of their relatives," Penny Blatt says. "Even decades later, they still remember things he said to them and the way he treated them."
In honor of her father, Blatt recently made a $1 million commitment to the School of Medicine and Temple University Hospital. Half of the gift will endow the Abraham M. Rechtman, MD, Orthopaedic Research Fund in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. The other half will name the Abraham M. Rechtman, MD, Outpatient Orthopaedic Clinic in the hospital's Boyer Pavilion.
She says the decision to make a gift in her father's name was an easy one.
"Temple was an important part of my father's life. He always raved about his time there and felt a special kinship with the school. He was first in his class all four years—I still have the medal the university gave him. When the opportunity arose to honor him, it was almost automatic that I chose Temple."
Following graduation from the School of Medicine, Rechtman embarked on a distinguished career as an orthopaedic surgeon. According to Blatt, he was the first in Philadelphia to be certified in what was then a relatively new specialty.
Penny Blatt recently made a $1 million commitment to the School of Medicine and Temple University Hospital in honor of her father, Abraham M. Rechtman, MED '23.
For many years, Rechtman served as chief of orthopaedic surgery at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. He also operated once a week at the Betty Bacharach Home for Crippled Children in Atlantic City, N.J., and provided medical coverage at local high school sporting events.
"My father loved practicing medicine; it was a calling for him," Blatt says. "We had a three-story home at 17th and Pine streets. My father's office was on the first floor, and we lived upstairs. Sometimes, at the end of the day, he would stand at the bottom of the stairs and call up to my mother, asking if it was okay if one of his patients joined us for dinner."
Described by Blatt as a man of principle, Rechtman also enjoyed teaching medicine. Throughout the decades, he supervised and taught hundreds of medical students and residents.
"Most of them had trouble keeping up with my father because he had long legs and walked so fast," Blatt says, laughing.
Even after Rechtman stopped performing surgery, he would continue to visit the operating room to guide younger surgeons.
"My father was a physician in the days when people revered physicians," Blatt says. "He was the most wonderful father in the world, and I think he deserves to be remembered for the things he did. Naming the orthopaedic outpatient center after him and helping fund research will ensure that his legacy lives on."
To make a gift to Temple, contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at 215-926-2500 or email@example.com, or visit myowlspace.com/makeagift.

A television studio with lights, cameras, talent and guests. It's here where hands-on experience is gained.
"It's not only hard work, it's just a passion, and whenever you have a passion, it's not even work for you," said Junior Eddie Edwards whose goal is to become a director. It's in Camille Briggs' class where he's getting his start at accomplishing his dreams.
He credits his teacher for helping him perfect his projects.
"No, no, go back, do this, do that, this is how it's supposed to be. This is how it flows even better. So, by the time I'm done with the project, it's flawless," said Edwards.
Briggs' teachings go beyond the classroom.
"What better way than to show them what the industry is all about.," said teacher Camille Briggs.
Every other year, she takes her class to where the movies are made: Hollywood.
"We take a tour of all the television studios in Hollywood. Sony, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Universal. We tour the colleges there: UCLA, LA Film School, USC," said Briggs.
Their next trip is scheduled for December, and they're counting on you to help them on their journey. Another lesson from Briggs.
Public donations help students like Edwards watch real life directors yell out "Lights, camera, action!"
"The camera rolling, or the different angles of the director, telling the camera people what to do is just like, wow. This is what I want to do. This is what I'm getting ready to do," said Edwards.
Edwards, Briggs, and this video broadcasting class are ready to roll out the red carpet in the entertainment capital of the world.

Om ar ra pa sa na di, Manjurshri's mantra for wisdom and cutting through the darkness of ignorance
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. - Buddha
May boddhichitta precious and sublime
Arise where it has not yet come to be.
And where it has a risen
May it grow and flourish ever more and more.
Boddhichitta is a feeling, deep from within when you recognize the suffering of another person and you see that no matter how much money, clothing, experiences, relationships, status, or physical ecstasy you give them, these things will run out and they will yet again suffer. So bodhichitta is the wish for enlightenment to free these friends and yourself from an unending circle.
Boddhichitta has two aspects: Aspiration and application. In order for the feeling to even develop into an aspiration, there must be serious contemplation on what in this life will bring one lasting peace and fulfillment. I use my mother for this exercise. She has rheumatoid arthritis. Her hands and feet are twisted and knotted and she is in financial difficulty, but the government and health insurance companies will offer her no coverage because she has a pre-existing condition. She also helps raise her grandson and provides for him. My mother is kind and generous with great devotion, yet she continues to suffer. My mother gave me this opportunity to be a human being this time around. She nurtured and took care of me as a child, teenager and adult. I can never repay her for her kindness.

Lower your acquisition costs
August has been a pretty slow month for mobile app marketing in recent years, but this year went a different direction. Not only did our July indexes reach impressive heights, but Apple also introduced a new wrinkle to its ranking algorithm all while gearing up for its annual launch of new eye-catching gadgets. So much excitement, that we almost missed the coveted Index post!
Mobile marketers have quickly realized the reach of Facebook's mobile app install ad units and their ability to cost-efficiently drive volumes of users — and the latest Fiksu Indexes certainly reflect this trend.
Following a steady couple of months, April saw competition – and costs - heating up for mobile app marketers. The Fiksu Cost per Loyal User Index reached $1.50, an increase of 10 percent, or 14 cents over March's $1.36, while the App Store Competitive Index rose 11 percent, to 5.61 million daily downloads from 5.02 million in March.
After analyzing the data, it was clear to us that three distinct forces contributed to these dynamics in April:
School's out, and just as we saw last year, iPhone app downloads started increasing during the beginning of the summer months, causing App Store competition to heat up. Fiksu's June Indexes reflect this trend, plus a significant rise in the costs of loyal user acquisition.
Here's a snapshot of the latest data:
After recently announcing the next version of Android, "Jelly Bean," Google touted some impressive numbers surrounding the Google Play ecosystem. With 1.5 billion installs a month, 600,000 available apps and games and 20 billion app installs, Google is quickly closing the gap between Google Play and Apple's App Store.
The Apple App Store is celebrating its fourth birthday this week, and the company has quite a bit to celebrate.

That's just what pro-golfer Sergio Garcia was tasked with doing at Sunday's Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he proved he was more than willing to work his way up during the tournament's final round (watch below).

Watching Kieran Behan flip through the air, you'd never imagine the Irish gymnast overcame a series of injuries so severe that doctors told him he would never walk again.
At just 5-feet-4-inches tall, Behan, 23, struggled with a series of setbacks that would change his life forever, but his unwavering spirit and dedication to his sport led him to the 2012 Olympic Games in London, reports The New York Times.
Behan first started gymnastics at the age of 8, when he excelled at tumbling. But by the time he was 10, doctors found a tumor the size of a golf ball in his leg.

KENOSHA, WI (WTAQ) - The city council in Kenosha is scheduled to vote Monday night on city financing and a conditional use permit for Amazon.Com.
The Internet retail giant plans to build a distribution center just east of Interstate 94. It promises 1,100 full time jobs, plus up to 2,500 seasonal employees.
Developers say they want to start building as soon as possible, so the site can open by next fall.
Kenosha Mayor Keith Bosman says the new facility would have an assessed value of $170 million. He believes it would send a message to other companies that Wisconsin is a good place to do business.
The city plans to spend up to $18.2 million in tax incremental financing for public amenities like roads and sewers for the new center. It would be funded by the increase in total property taxes that the project would generate.
There's also been talk about possible state assistance. Officials have not confirmed that yet.

The Art of Food
The area road map used for this journey touted Julian, California, for its spring wildflowers, autumn apple harvest and apple pies. That was intriguing enough to prompt a search for food. Julian is only a few miles away from Palomar Mountain.
As you pass through Wynola Springs on the way to Julian, you'll find the Wynola Pizza Express. I recommend its vegan pizza, which is made with pizza sauce, sautéed tofu, fresh garlic and veggies. Even more interesting is the oven in which the pizza is baked. It features a mosaic exterior created by artist James Hubbell. The mosaic incorporates broken tiles, plates, cups and saucers. Look for the cup handles and teapot spout.
The soil and climate of the area surrounding Julian are perfect for growing apple trees. Many of their apples go to the Julian Pie Company, which served as another food stop. Apple pie a la mode at the pie company's location on Main Street in Julian topped off lunch. Pies made locally can be shipped anywhere, for anyone who enjoys the flavor and crust of homemade apple pies. The company offers other pies and desserts as well.
For more about the pizza and pies, visit www.wynolasprings.com and www.julianpie.com.
Down to the Sea Again
Returning from the Highway to the Stars and the Observatory, I couldn't help but reflect upon how explorers have used the stars as navigational tools for centuries.
This road trip exceeded expectations. Driving the mountain roads was a delight, plus it was scenic, educational and I had satisfied my appetite!

Remember the thick glasses? The dorky laugh? Well, today's engineers have a whole different look.
"It's actually cool to be a female engineer," stated Poornima Vijayashanker.
Vijayashanker shook up Silicon Valley when she teamed up to create the money management website Mint. Now she's focused on her 'femgineer' blog.
"If you do a Google search for women in tech, it's flat. And then 2013, there's a big spike."
That new trend of femgineers sparked her recent visit to Tampa.
"We have a huge issue when it comes to highly skilled it workers," lamented Heather Kenyon, CEO of the Tampa Bay Technology Forum.
The hope: Tampa becomes a tech hub.
"I think that we have done an amazing job of promoting ourselves as being a place for tourism and citrus and agriculture and all kinds of things, but not for technology and not for education and we need to change that," Kenyon continued.
That means local tech companies need to hire talent from local colleges.
"They can be really effective with keeping the kids in Tampa," Vijayashanker added.
So preventing the so-called brain drain can also boost the femgineer movement here in the Bay Area.

MIDDLETOWN — Four men are vying for two spots on the Democratic line for 2nd Ward alderman.
Incumbent Ashok Sabnis is hoping for a third term, and Kevin Luccketti, who was appointed to the Common Council in June, is running for a full two-year term. Former 2nd Ward Alderman Jerry Kleiner is taking another shot, and political newcomer Kevin Witt has thrown his hat in the ring.
The primary is Sept. 10. All but Witt will be on the general election ballot whether or not they win — Sabnis and Luccketti will run on the Independence Party line while Kleiner has the Working Families Party line.
Kleiner said if elected, he wants to post committee meeting minutes online and hold Board of Estimate meetings in the council chambers rather than the mayor's office.
Kleiner said he wants to get the Heritage Trail extended to Middletown, and for the city to adopt a master plan. He said he wants to see more awareness of poverty and protecting the vulnerable. And he wants to find a way to reinstate the school resource officer program and improve the city's relationship with the Middletown school board.
"I never think of it as them and us," Kleiner said. "It's all us."
"Things are on the upswing," he said. "We're moving in the right direction." Luccketti said he wants to focus on code enforcement and quality-of-life issues. He supports continuing downtown revitalization and passing the amortization law, which would phase out multifamily homes in residential areas.
He says his MTA background gives him a valuable perspective on issues like traffic and infrastructure planning.
For example, he voted against a recent law toughening penalties for bicycling on the sidewalk because he doesn't think Middletown should have more bicycles in the streets.
He backs the amortization law, saying having too many people in neighborhoods not meant for them burdens the infrastructure.
"You have a small shirt, and you're trying to put that shirt on a heavy man," he said. "This shirt is going to be torn apart."
Witt said his work experience will help him as an alderman.
His work at the newspaper, he said, taught him how to ask the right questions and explain complex issues.
And part of his current job is customer service and trying to help people.
"It's a natural kind of progression," Witt said.
Witt said he wants to help find a solution to Middletown's flooding problems. He also said he wants to find ways to promote the city's successes.
"Middletown's a great city, and we need to continue to attract good people to live here and set up their businesses," he said.

Range DescriptionThis species has been recorded from Colombia (east of the Andes), Venezuela (south of the Orinoco), Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and south through the Amazon Basin of Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and northern Bolivia (Pando Department) (Gardner 2005). In Brazil, it occurs in a large part of the state of Mato Grosso, but has not been recorded from southern Pará state, east of the Rio Tapajós. The easternmost locality is on the left bank of Rio das Mortes, a tributary of the upper Rio Araguaia, western Mato Grosso. There is a potentially disjunct population to the south of Marajó Island (Eisenberg and Redford 1999).

Singer Miley Cyrus has hit the studio for an unlikely collaboration with hip-hop star Tyler, The Creator.
Bing: New Jonas Brothers song is about Miley
Rapper/producer Pharrell Williams, who has been working with Cyrus on her fourth album, alerted fans to the news via his Twitter on Monday, posting a photo of himself with the former "Hannah Montana" actress and controversial rapper Tyler. He tweeted, "In the lab... (with) Miley Cyrus (and) Tyler..."
Williams reached out to Cyrus and offered to produce her new material after being impressed with her resilience during the salvia scandal two years ago.

The Congress finds that—
because a high regard for the public trust and a lively exercise of political talents were outstanding characteristics of the thirty-third President of the United States;
because a special interest of the man from Independence in American history and a broad knowledge and understanding of the American political and economic system gained by study and experience in county and National Government culminated in the leadership of America remembered for the quality of his character, courage, and commonsense;
because of the desirability of encouraging young people to recognize and provide service in the highest and best traditions of the American political system at all levels of government, it is especially appropriate to honor former President Harry S Truman through the creation of a perpetual education scholarship program to develop increased opportunities for young Americans to prepare and pursue careers in public service.
