What is the conservation-conscious Texas Republican supposed to do when looking for transportation? On the one hand, he'd like to have something economical and ecologically responsible. On the other hand he's in Texas and has to do a lot of driving and needs a big, comfortable vehicle that can seat the whole family. And, of course, it helps a lot if it's a pickup truck in order to fit in with the neighbors. The answer? Why a BigAss EcoTruck, of course.
After much research I determined that the best solution for the BigAss EcoTruck was a Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel pickup with a four-door Crew Cab. Other options presented themselves but didn't hold up. The best was the Dodge Contractor's Special, which is basically the same truck but with a hybrid diesel engine.
The clueless marketers at Daimler-Chrysler haven't realized how marketable a hybrid pickup would be in Texas, so they're only available for fleet purchase in California, which means you have to buy 30 or more and transport them to Texas yourself, and I didn't feel like opening my own car dealership just to buy one truck. The only other hybrid pickups are from General Motors, who prove with every stupid decision why they deserve to go out of business. In the case of their hybrid pickups, their idiocy is displayed by having used the hybrid features of the engine to improve towing capacity rather than gas mileage, totally defeating the purpose of hybridization.
Ford has a nice hybrid engine suitable for a pickup, but it's only going to be available in SUVs for at least another year. Another option might have been a truck which would run on E85 Ethanol fuel, and they do exist, but no one in the state of Texas currently sells E85, though that's bound to change since about half the gas-powered vehicles on the market can actually use it. Still not an immediate solution.
Since hybrids weren't a realistic option, the best way to go was with an alternative fuel vehicle, and the Dodge Ram 2500 qualifies on all counts. It's a serious truck with a three-quarter ton carrying capacity, plus it has the most comfortable backseat for the kids of any of the extended cabs I've looked at. It has a gigantic 5.9L Cummins Diesel engine, and while most of us are familiar with stinky commercial trucks running on PetroDiesel, the fact is that Diesel engines are able to run clean-burning BioDiesel with no modifications.
Rudolph Diesel invented his engine back in 1892 to run on biofuel. His first working model displayed at the 1898 exposition in Paris ran on pure peanut oil. The Diesel engine, by its very nature, is designed to run on low-volatility, high-viscosity fuel. It works by heating the relatively stable fuel to a more combustible temperature where it burns much more efficiently than fuels like gasoline.
Modern Diesel engines, as developed by Clessie Cummins, are modified to use fuel injection to work with lighter weight fuels like PetroDiesel (still much more viscous than gasoline), but they can still run on biofuels which have either been processed to be lighter weight or are actively heated in the engine to reduce viscosity. Diesel engines also have a great deal of tolerance for variations in the fuel, so under the right conditions you can run on a variety of different fuel mixes from straight vegetable oil to small amounts of BioDiesel used as an additive to improve the performance of standard PetroDiesel.
The Cummins Diesel engine in the Dodge Ram comes well prepared to run BioDiesel. It can run processed, fuel-quality BioDiesel just like regular PetroDiesel, despite the fact that it may have double the viscosity. It also comes with an engine heater which can be used to heat the fuel to reduce viscosity, which can make it feasible to run on much heavier weight oils and also makes it possible to run on various Diesel fuels in cold temperatures where they might gel and become useless — a problem even with PetroDiesel, though admittedly not much of an issue in the sweltering hell that is Texas.
The engine heater even comes with an external power cord which you can run out of the hood and plug into house current to heat the fuel before starting the engine in extreme cold (below 0 degrees Fahrenheit). It has to be noted that neither Dodge nor Cummins will officially endorse the use of anything higher than B20 in these engines, but extensive private testing has been done and is well documented on BioDiesel discussion forums with very few problems reported. Using BioDiesel also doesn't void the engine warranty unless it can be proven to have damaged the engine. Since it generally leaves fewer deposits and burns cleaner than regular Diesel, this shouldn't be a concern.
The one frequently noted issue is that on older engines the detergent properties of the BioDiesel may clear sludge deposited by past use of PetroDiesel out of the engine and deposit it in the fuel filter, which may have to be replaced. The most telling endorsement of BioDiesel is that the Cummins racing team uses B100 BioDiesel in all their racing engines, which are the same basic engine as in the Dodge diesel trucks.
One of the key reasons I chose a truck which could run BioDiesel was fuel availability. I had given up on finding Ethanol in the Austin area, but two different companies are providing various different blends of Biodiesel — Willie Nelson's BioWillie and Austin Biofuels, with a total of five stations between them and more on the way.
The way I figured it, there was no point in getting an alternative fuel vehicle unless I could be confident of finding fuel for it. The other advantage of BioDiesel is that, potentially, the price will remain lower than that of gasoline. The raw material cost of BioDiesel from waste oil is about $1.10 a gallon. The raw material cost for new oil is about $1.80 after a rebate from the IRS. Taxes and processing expenses still add into that, but the end result is that the price for B99 BioDiesel should stay stable at about $2.70 a gallon while the price of gasoline fluctuates with market volatility in the $3-$5 range.
Since BioDiesel is a renewable resource produced domestically on a pretty small, localized basis — you can even make it yourself fairly easily — there shouldn't be the kinds of problems we've seen recently with petroleum, so the price can be counted on to stay the same or even go down as production increases and becomes more efficient. Another major consideration is gas mileage. A 20% mix of BioDiesel has been found to increase overall engine efficiency and fuel mileage by around 15%.
Plus diesel engines generally get better gas mileage than gas-burning equivalents. Diesel mileage increases over time, but mileage figures in the 21-25 mpg range are not unheard of when using B20 fuel, and that's pretty good for a large truck. BioDiesel also causes a lot less pollution. With the efficiency of modern engines the emission levels from BioDiesel are really remarkable. BioDiesel produces significantly lower levels of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter and completely eliminates the sulfur dioxide produced by petroleum products.
According to the EPA the overall environmental impact of BioDiesel was 50% less than that of PetroDiesel. Finally, BioDiesel is a renewable resource. We're not going to run out and we can always make more – plus it can help revitalize our agricultural economy.
So I went and bought the truck. It wasn't cheap. The Diesel engine adds about $5000 to the total cost of the vehicle. Almost as expensive were the features my wife thought a 'family' truck ought to have. I'd been planning to strip it down to the bones and keep the price low, but as it turned out, once we added things like automatic windows and door locks, the whole package ended up being several thousand dollars more than I'd planned to spend.
Fortunately my old Nissan Frontier has held its value really well and I was able to get a better price for it than I'd ever expected, plus I found a way to qualify for an extra $1300 in rebates from Dodge, bringing the total price a bit closer to my target. Nonetheless, it's still the most expensive vehicle I've ever bought, so it's a good thing Diesel engines just about last forever, since I may have to drive it that long to justify the cost.
From the very first time I refilled the gas tank I've been running on BioDiesel. I wanted to start out with BioDiesel from the very beginning in order to avoid problems with deposits from regular diesel. I've been experimenting with mixes between 20% and 90%.
I've gone about 500 miles of mostly commuter and urban driving so far, and have found that gas mileage seems to be better with the biodiesel than I was getting on the tank of pure PetroDiesel the dealership gave me. I'm still assessing it, but it looks like mileage is about 15% higher with a 20% mix of BioDiesel. Mileage benefits may drop off at higher percentages of BioDiesel. Diesel engine mileage also goes up over time as the engine gets broken in. Others have reported mileage as high as 25 mpg running BioDiesel in a broken-in engine, which is awfully good for a large truck.
My purchase coincided with the gas price here in Texas breaking the $3 barrier, so it's nice to be using a fuel which is already universally at or a bit below the cost of Unleaded in addition to getting good mileage. I've also noticed that with a high mix of BioDiesel the engine noise goes down substantially. Engine noise has always been one of the drawbacks of Diesel engines, and the BioDiesel lowers it enough that I can actually order at a drive-thru without having to turn off the engine.
Finally, it's nice to know that I'm using a renewable resource and producing less pollution. And with the BioWillie and Austin Biofuels bumper stickers on the back of the truck, when I park in downtown Austin and an eco-nazi decides to key the truck, he'll feel a little guilty when he gets to the end and sees the stickers.
On the whole the BigAss Ecotruck has been a pretty good experience so far, but there are a couple of minor shortcomings. Although Dodge did a great job with putting lots of compartments and storage areas in the front seating area, the back seating area is less full-featured.
Particularly bad is the placement of the back-seat cup holders, which are in the middle on the floor, very hard for a four-year-old to reach to place or retrieve her drink without spilling it. The factory radio also leaves a great deal to be desired.
The controls are arcane and the placement in the dash is peculiar, with an irregular shape which has round cut-outs for the knobs, so that when I replace it with a better quality sound system it's never going to look quite right. Ultimately fairly minor problems with aftermarket solutions available at a reasonable price. The one other concern is that there are still relatively few BioDiesel stations in the Austin area and they are limited to a very limited area, but from what I hear the numbers should double or more by the end of the year.
If you're in the market for a new vehicle, consider BioDiesel. You don't have to get a BigAss EcoTruck of your own. There are cheaper and more compact alternatives. Volkswagen and Mercedes both make excellent sedans in the US and you can still get Diesel Volvos in europe and all will run on BioDiesel and get over 30 mpg.
If you don't want to buy new, remember that older Diesel engines have a lot more life left in them than a gas engine of the same age. The main issue for a used car is that those produced before 2004 are likely to need any rubber gaskets or hoses replaced to run BioDiesel.
Forget the pie-in-the-sky about ethanol and hydrogen vehicles of the future. With BioDiesel the economical, renewable and clean fuel you've been waiting for is here now.
If you want to learn more about BioDiesel there's a fascinating article on ways to convert our entire fuel supply to BioDiesel from the University of New Hampshire. I also recommend Journey to Forever for information on BioDiesel, including practical methods for making your own. Powered by Sidelines

I would say Darkfall. I've never played Darkfall. This is one of the reasons why it has failed.
If Darkfall was released and I wasn't shocked at seeing the negativity many people were saying about it, I might have played it, but this didn't happen, and I'm nervous to put down all that money to play an MMO that has a very real chance of being bad. Darkfall has failed me.
I would say Aion. I played Aion.
Aion had nothing in it that was innovative to me, and it wasn't a fun game to me in the slightest. After playing Age of Conan, it felt like a step back. I want a game that builds off of Age of Conan, not goes backwards...
Aion and Darkfall.

This is why there are so many bad comments on darkfall. People haven't played it but they are bashing game because it's cool or something. I really don't understand such behaviour.

I guess I would have to say Darkfall was the worst thing to happen in 2009. I bought it, I played it, I feel like I was duped into financing a development team in bringing their product from late alpha into a proper beta stage. Just for comparison, I was playing Anarchy Online on launch day...well as much as anyone else was able to. This fails just as badly for me. Desolate towns, ugliest trees I've seen in a long time, mob AI that reminded me of being back in good old EQ. Pretty much lameness in all facets of gaming (of which there were really only two, combat and simple crafting). Except for the large amount of nifty left clicking. How can that not get old.
But, overall, just one more blot on a poor year for MMO's in general. Hoping there might be something better to come along in the coming year(s). I am planning to go back and see if they have it properly into at least a late beta condition after being "released" for a year.
Aion - linear grind bore with wings.
World of Warcraft is a proof that MMORPG quality should affect schedule/budget and not the other way around.
SOOOOOOOOOOO bad
Its funny when it takes you less time to find out a game stinks than it did to download and install the game
I realy dont get the *easy - hard* approach to gameplay. Aion was on my wish list and it just fell thrue the ashole bigtime. So Aion is the biggest letdown for me.

I believe Crimecraft should be set as an example of greedy devs punishment. Pay to play+cash shop+ no quality.
in game ads, too..
Biggest fail for me would be champions, simply because it set new standards for bare bones rushed out games. Not only is it deeply lacking in content, balance and the multiplayer aspect, it also lumped a csh shop on top of a sub fee. Other notables are crimecraft, spellborn, darkfall and of course the classic that is alganon.

There are several interesting possibilities this week, but I can specifically recommend Peter Case's new album Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John. "24 Hours" begins the album with a song that will certainly be on the best of list at the end of the year. This song has some of the best hooks Case has conjured up in awhile, as well as his usual literate lyrics. Besides that though, this song also has the benefit of guest Richard Thompson on guitar and vocals, which really makes this a proper record.
Interestingly though, Thompson's contribution of vocal harmonies on "24 Hours" did even more to benefit the song than his fancy guitar. Thompson's guitar playing is certainly a nice bonus, but Peter Case himself is actually a pretty fair picker. He's mostly got the fancy pickin' covered. But that second voice was really critical in the mix.
Billy Joe Shaver is Everybody's Brother. This album seems to be interested in spiritual themes, with Jesus specifically mentioned by name in three of the songs. This includes "You Just Can't Beat Jesus Christ," a duet with Johnny Cash rescued from an old demo. The album was produced by John Jr. I'd be real interested to hear what kind of Jesus songs are coming out of the guy who kicked my ass with "Jesus Christ Is Still the King" just two years ago. I'm particularly interested in that according to this article, Mr Shaver seems to think that the ghost of Johnny actually helped him write the seven-minute epic title song "Everybody's Brother."
Harry Shearer has a new album of Songs Pointed and Pointless. There are not many comedians as musical as Mr Shearer. I'm skeptical about overtly comic records. I so don't care to hear repeatedly about Adam Sandler's red sweatshirt. But Shearer was part of the brain trust for Spinal Tap and the Folksmen. That's another level of art. This might would deserve a listen, then.
For an album called Camp Meeting, I would have expected that Bruce Hornsby was making a gospel album. Turns out that he's going jazz, and fairly hardcore at that. He's taking a stab at Coltrane's "Giant Steps." He's also doing Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser."
James Brown The Singles, Vol. 3: 1964-1965 sounds like something a fellow would need to hear. These 40 songs on two CDs seem to suggest as many as 20 singles in two years. While these are from roughly the peak of his creative power, I know no more than a half dozen of these songs. This sounds intriguing.
I'm not familiar with these recordings, but my eye was caught by a five CD set of early Chet Atkins, and for under $30. The Early Years 1946-1957 sounds pretty interesting.
Public Enemy has a new album, How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul???. Now, they once managed to make one good album, and maybe a couple of worthwhile singles. But, predictably, they years ago devolved into cheesy agit-prop. This dumbass album title pretty well lays out their shtick. Public Enemy are, of course, paragons of soul. You know they are, cause they're black and they're "mad" – though all that mad is an increasingly obvious contrivance.
The PE problem is summed up in this Amazon product description obviously written by some record company flack:
Public Enemy's been pioneers in combining verbal acumen with technological advances, performance artistry and theatricality, thematic integrity and artistic control. In an era where mega-national corporations dominate the marketplace and many rappers prefer being popular to being relevant, Public Enemy remain vibrant and topical. They've also forged and maintained a creative legacy that has a timeless quality, yet gives listeners intricate and compelling slices of life from the various eras in which these songs were conceived. They are not entertainers or performers but scribes and commentators providing insight and information through rhymes and music that has uplifted and still inspires legions of fans.
Well no, they are NOT scribes and commentators, or are so only incidentally. They are, theoretically, musicians. They're making and selling songs, not writing newspaper stories. But in all that gushing PR verbiage, it doesn't even occur to them to say anything about PE being musicians, much less songwriters. That lack of interest in musicianship is the main problem with Public Enemy, and the main reason they don't sell. Those still inspired legions of fans have lifted the album to #4,232 on the Amazon sales chart.
By the way, there's a simple answer to the titular question of this album: Write some real songs.

Here we go - again. Itĺs time for the annual Slammies, which depending on your point of view are entertaining reading about the world of high school wrestling or a complete disgrace.
Biggest Screw-Up: The NJSIAA for having two different and conflicting rules in its regulation over how many dual matches are needed to qualify for sectionals. This came a year after the NJSIAA said No. 7 seeds could not bump No. 6 seeds, only to later find out there were instances when they did. Itĺs amazing how it can make such a mess over such simple things.
Most Ironic Moment: First-year Neshaminy coach Tony Incollingo guiding his Redskins to a dual-match victory over visiting Pennsbury. The last time the Pennsbury varsity and Incollingo were in the Neshaminy gym, Incollingo was wrestling for Pennsbury and was called for a controversial slam. When the Neshaminy wrestler failed to get up, Incollingo was DQĺd, Pennsbury lost the match and a near riot ensued. ôI didnĺt slam anybody,ĺĺ replied Incollingo when asked to recall the match from nearly 30 years ago.
Worst Announcing: To the Neshaminy PA announcer for beauties such as a three-point takedown and a two-point escape. And the last time we checked there is no such thing as the 190-pound weight class.
Best Payback: Delaware Valley assistant Phil Hutchins telling Voorheesĺĺ coach Eric Hall to ôhave a nice bus ride homeö after DelVal beat the visiting Vikings. Last year Hall said the exact same thing to Hutchins when Voorhees beat DelVal.
Feud of the Year: This one again goes to the Karam brothers, who nearly got into it after Jeffĺs Bethlehem Catholic team beat ôG.I.ĺĺ Jodyĺs Bethlehem Liberty team. Jody more or less also accused Jeff of cheating because all of the transfers who have gone to Beca. All of this came on the night a fan shoved Jeff Karam and was later arrested for harassment. And this is just one year after Jody refused to let his nephew and Jeffĺs son wrestle because he was a tenth of a pound over weight.
Feud of the Year II; Not sure what the latest flare up is here, but Voorhees coach Eric Hall and Delaware Valley coach Andy Fitz will not be sharing a cold one together anytime soon.
Controversy of the Year I: The fact choice school Bound Brook had 11 wrestlers in its lineup who were not from its school district. You wouldnĺt believe the number of letters and emails one gets asking you to blast the Brook.
Most Revealing Moment: When one of the above mentioned Bound Brook wrestlers mistakenly gave the name of his former school when asked to identify himself during Region V weigh-ins.
Best Idea: Because students supposedly only attend a choice school for the ôacademics,ö why not have them compete in athletics only for their home districts.
Controversy of the Year II: The Phillipsburg picture. No need to say anything more.
Worst Kept Secret I: Who knew what and when about the Phillipsburg picture.
Worst Kept Secret II: Once again why Jeff Buxton is no longer the coach at Blair.
Controversy of the Year II: All the talk floating around A.C. about what happened in the 138-pound weigh-ins. Itĺs all hearsay and there are two entirely different stories about what happened, but the fact the weigh-in master was from Paulsboro instantly sent up red flags because of all the shenanigans in the past.
Most Confused Wrestling Writer: No need to embarrass anyone, but this goes to a local ôscribeĺĺ who insisted there is no longer such a thing as a technical fall. Huh?
Lamest Excuse: Once again no need to embarrass anyone, but this goes to the coach who blamed a dual-match loss on the ref after his team lost 46-11.
Dumbest Idea: To the coach who showed up at the Moorestown Duals and suggested the team seeding be based on the region ranking power points.
Most Abused Rule: The one that says you canĺt wrestle up two weights from where you weigh in. Whether itĺs ignorance or whatever, itĺs stunning how many times this rule is broken.
Most Refreshing Quote: To the coach who was asked about the above rule when he illegally used a wrestler up two weights. ôI know the rule,ĺĺ the coach said. ôI was just hoping nobody would notice.ĺĺ
Most Revealing Quote: When asked why Paulsboro never wrestled Highland until this year, former Raider coach Bob Frederick said: ôI guess we (Paulsboro) could have worked something out, but we just felt we didnĺt want to do it.ĺĺ This was just another way of saying Paulsboro didnĺt want to risk losing the No. 1 trophy in South Jersey that is handed out by a newspaper it long had its hip pocket. Paulsboro, of course, also didnĺt was to risk losing its annual bogus claim to No. 1 in the state.
Most Depressing Blast from the Past: The time Belvidereĺs Josh Constantino didnĺt get his rightful seed at states and a Paulsboro wrestler benefited. ôThe brackets have already been printed up,ĺĺ said NJSIAA official Bob Frederick went the mistake was discovered.
Best Blast from the Past: The time Bergen Catholic drove all the way to the Beast of the East, checked into a hotel and then withdrew from the tourney without wrestling a bout when it discovered it would have had too many bouts in one week.
Funniest Blast from the Past: The time Lawrence coach Chris Lynne answered his cell phone during a match.
Duck of the Year: South Plainfield backing out of its match against Phillipsburg with the lame excuse about having too many matches in one week. Itĺs funny how when the Paper Tigers were loaded they accused others of ducking them.
Worst Warm-up Song: Nottingham playing ôThe Manĺĺ by Aloe Blacc.
Best Warm-up Song: Anything by AC/DC.
Most Predictable Development: Long Branch, a.k.a, ôWrong Branchĺĺ in some circles, bringing in another transfer before sectionals.
Most Fitting Development: Long Branch getting bounced from sectionals on a slam.
Most Refreshing Development: Brick Memorialĺs ôDiverĺĺ Dan OĺCone not being named New Jersey Coach of the Year for the third straight time. Oh, thatĺs right, the only reason he wasnĺt is because he is no longer the ĹStang coach and wasnĺt around to stuff the ballot box.
Most Exciting Match I: High Point pinning in the last four weights to pull out a one-point victory in the Group II Group state final.
Most Exciting Match II; Hunterdon Central getting even with North Hunterdon in the sectionals. Have you noticed when these schools wrestle it always seems to be decided by one or two points?
Most Exciting Moment: When Phillipsburg freshman Rob Melise (3-4) pinned Southern senior Jesse Bauta (21-5) to completely turn around the Group IV Group final. You could hear the roar in Toms River all the way back in Phillipsburg.
Worst Reporting I: Got to slam yourself here for spelling Meliseĺs name wrong in a story after groups.
Worst Reporting II: A North Jersey paper that wrote Delranĺs Dennis Smith was the Region VII coach of the year. There was only one slight problem: Smith retired a year ago.
Worst Reporting III: To the public address announcer at states who said that Absegamiĺs Will Sanz pinned Franklinĺs Ralph Normandia when just the opposite happened.
Inside Joke Award: To Franklin coach Ricky Krieger, who found out about the above mistake and played along with it by describing the bout to a writer as though his wrestler had lost.
Most Shameless Plug: The PA announcer in Atlantic City telling the crowd Camden County College is starting up a wrestling program and the coach will be Gary ôThe Pinball Wizardĺĺ Papa. Oh, no, not him again. It was so nice not having the pompous Papa around.
Most Intriguing Fact: The fact the three Robbinsville wrestlers at states, including heavyweight runner-up Tyler Gildner and third-place finisher Chris Tan, all lost their bouts in a dual match against Steinert.
Cheapskates of the Year: The NJSIAA for not printing up programs for groups and not providing programs to the press in Atlantic City.
Worst Juggling: Every move Shawnee made in a sectional match it should have won against Millville was a complete bust.
Funniest Jeff Buxton Siting: The former Blair coach now cooking up the french fries at Hot Dog Johnnyĺs in Buttzville.
Biggest BS: Blair Academy saying it still won the ôundergraduateĺĺ title after its long reign as National Prep champion came to an end.

Whiplash: An Alarming Injury Caused by Rear-End Collisions
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, car accidents accounted for a total of 32,675 deaths in the U.S. during the year 2014. Comparing this to data gathered from previous years, it's clear that the number of fatal motor accidents have been decreasing. This, of course, doesn't automatically mean that our roads are becoming less dangerous. While trends show that car accident victims are now more likely to survive after a crash, they are sure to walk away with some form of injury.
Take whiplash, for example. Also referred to as a neck sprain or whiplash-associated disorder, this type of injury is common among vehicle passengers involved in rear-end collisions or rear-end accidents. Whiplash is a soft-tissue injury that is caused by the sudden back-and-forth movement of the head and upper back. This movement can cause the stretching and tearing of neck tendons and muscles, which then leads to stiffness, pain, and loss of range of motion.
Initial symptoms of whiplash include headaches that begin around the base of the skull, tenderness in the upper back and arms, as well as dizziness and fatigue. However, as Zavodnick, Zavodnick & Lasky, LLC points out, most people don't experience these symptoms immediately after the collision that caused the injury. In some cases, due to the adrenaline that fires up in high-stress situations, whiplash symptoms can take time to appear. This doesn't mean that it won't get worse without proper medical attention. If ignored, symptoms of whiplash can become worse and more bothersome, causing lapses in memory, irritability, insomnia, and even depression.
The most alarming thing about getting a whiplash injury is how long it could take to treat. Recovering from whiplash involves managing pain through medication, as well as exercise and physical therapy. Without proper treatment, whiplash can turn into a persistent, chronic problem, which can then affect a person's lifestyle and ability to earn an income.
If you had been involved in a rear-end collision recently, it's important to seek medical attention right away. You don't know what impact these types of injuries can leave in your life. After receiving a diagnosis, it's best to seek out legal counsel to learn more about your options for just compensation.Read More
How Do You Treat Dog Bites?
They say that dogs are a man's best friend. They will protect you, give you companionship, and be a loyal friend. But their bite can lead to a variety of problems. It can cause minor or severe injury, depending on the degree of bite. According to the 2013 – 2014 APPA National Pet Owners Survey Statistics : Pet Ownership & Annual Expenses, there are approximately 83.3 million dogs in the United States and they are kept by 56.7 million households.
Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that there are over 4.7 million dog-bite incidents yearly. From that number, 800,000 will require medical attention and 386,000 will need emergency medical treatment. When not treated right away, dog bites can cause significant damage to underlying tissues in the skin, bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, or nerves. Infections include tetanus and rabies.
There are several reasons why a dog will bite. They are either scared or threatened, protecting themselves, their puppies, or their owners. So make sure to keep these in mind when near a dog. Be alert to prevent a potential bite situation. But nevertheless, if what you are afraid of happens, here are some simple first aid remedies you can do for treating dog bites:
Clean the wound immediately. Run it under warm water for a few minutes to ensure it is thoroughly cleaned. Use antibacterial soap in combination with the water.
If the bite is not bleeding, encourage it by squeezing the wound. This will help prevent bacteria from entering the wound.
Provide pain relief by taking over-the-counter painkillers such as Paracetamol or Ibuprofen.
If there is a risk of infection, it is recommended that you seek medical advice. According to the website of the Law Offices of Yvonne M. Fraser, once the bite gets infected, it can lead to blood poisoning (sepsis), infection of the endocarditis and meningitis.
Big bites may require stitches so it is best to see a doctor
Get updated on your tetanus shot. Doctors recommend a booster after a dog bite if your last immunization was more than five years ago.
Be alert for any signs of infection. If you think that the bite is getting infected, see the doctor right away. Here are the symptoms of an infected dog bite:
Worsening pain
Redness or warmth around the bite
Pus-like discharge
Dogs can be adorable to have as pets. However, they can also be deadly. Follow these treatment methods for dog bites.Read More
Malpractice and Personal Injury Claims
When illness or injury occurs, we put our trust in a healthcare provider. We innately believe that they have been well-trained and we can rest assured that we are in good hands. Unfortunately, medical errors do happen. These errors result in the worsening of injury, a lifetime of a life-altering disability, or even sudden and unexpected death. This frightful reality is known as medical malpractice.
According to the Hankey Law Office, "when a patient dies because of the negligent action or inaction of a medical professional, this is considered to be wrongful death." Unforeseen death causes an emotional upheaval for a victim's family, friends, and community. A medical malpractice attorney can help an a victim's loved ones find solace in a settlement for their emotional suffering.
Medical malpractice is an especially important case to pursue. By reporting a medical professional's mistake, you can prevent further threat of error under the treatment of the same physician. Pohl & Berk, LLP point out on its website that this is important in order to hold the medical professional at fault should be "held legally and financially accountable for the repercussions of their actions." Do not let the negligence of a medical professional go without legal consequence – you could end up saving some one's health or life.
Whether you were misdiagnosed with disease or illness, prescribed the wrong type or amount of prescription, or suffered after misuse of medical equipment, you deserve justice for the mistakes of your medical physician. Medical malpractice lawyers are ready to fight for the financial compensation and justice that you deserve as a victim of medical negligence. We seek medical attention in hopes to improve our health. If the medical attention you receive leads to worsened health, hold your medical physician liable.Read More
Criminal Defense
Penalties for drug crimes seem to be getting worse and worse as the years go on. People who are convicted of drug crimes can not only face hefty fines, but years in jail. According to the website of Ian Inglis Attorney at Law, even for minor drug crimes, people have found themselves facing severe penalties. Punishments can often be applied to one of the four types of drug charges.
The first and most well-known drug charge is possession. The punishment for this can vary from state to state based on amount and type of drug. These drugs can include pharmaceuticals, but most commonly apply to marijuana, cocaine, heroine, and methamphetamine. The charges for possession can include fines and jail time, ranging from days to years. These penalties are increased if a person is found to be in possession of an illegal substance with the intent to sell, another type of drug charge. This is also commonly known as drug dealing. The charge of possession changes to intent to sell based on the amount an individual is found with. This crime faces serious charges such as 180 days to 99 years in prison and fines of up to $100,000. There are other kind of drug charges besides these, however, Often, possessing drug paraphernalia such as pipes and syringes, can land a person in jail or with large fines. Manufacturing and trafficking/delivering drugs are also serious drug crimes. Although these crimes differ in severity, all can carry thousands of dollars in fines, years in jail, and probation.
Although a person may deal with direct penalties from the law, drug crimes can make it almost impossible for a person to find a job or even buy a house, no matter how minor the charge. As law enforcement become stricter on drugs, it is important for individuals to understand that even the most minor drug charge can carry serious punishments. No matter the kind of drug charge, a conviction can change a person's life forever.Read More
Nursing Home Abuse
When a family member becomes too elderly to properly take care of themselves, most of us take comfort in the fact that nursing homes exist in which trained professionals can ensure the well being of a loved one. Unfortunately, the terrifying truth is that nursing home abuse is a serious and all too present problem. While an individual has every right to assume that their loved one is in safe hands at a nursing home, victims are facing physical abuse, sexual abuse, malnutrition, and a number of other problems, according to the website of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®. It can be difficult to even know if these problems are even happening as your loved one may not possess the ability to tell you. However, there are some warning signs you can look for.
One of the most obvious way to spot nursing home abuse and neglect is to look for changes in your loved one's physical appearance. This can include bed sores, unusual wounds, and unexplained loss of weight. You can also look for signs of poor hygiene. Another way to check is to inspect the bedding and clothing of the elderly. If you notice that their clothing is torn or stained as well as their bedding, these could be signs of abuse. There are also some nonphysical signs to watch out for as well. These include unresponsiveness, emotional withdrawal, and other strange behaviors.
Putting a loved one in a nursing home is a difficult decision faced by many. It is reasonable for an individual to assume that their family member is safe and well-taken care of in a nursing home. Unfortunately, nursing home and neglect is a serious problem leaving victims to not only face serious physical trauma, but emotional pain as well, according to the website of Ritter and Associates. When victims are not able to speak for themselves, it is important that we look our for our loved ones to prevent the ever present problem of nursing home abuse from becoming worse.Read More
Social Security Disability Benefits
Often people who were once completely healthy and able to work can become disabled and thus unable to perform properly at a job. This can cut off major finances for people and leave them struggling to support them and their family. When this is the case, an individual may be eligible to receive social security disability benefits from the government. However, understanding what disabilities qualify for social security can be confusing.
One of the most major disabilities in cardiovascular system disorders, which include a number of heart diseases. This can include chronic heart failure, such as coronary heart disease or frequent heart attacks. Not only do these and a multitude of other heart diseases affect a person on a day-to-day basis, but can make it impossible to work. Another set of diseases that carry these problems are autoimmune diseases, digestive system disorders, and skin disorders. These can all qualify for SSD if they leave a person unable to work. However, some diseases that qualify are not physical at all. Some mental disorders, even if they developed later on in life, can make a person unable to work. These include personality disorders, autism, bipolar disorder, and even depression.
Being put out of work for reasons you cannot control can leave a person in financial ruins, without the means to bring themselves out of it. Luckily for those facing these circumstances, according to the website of the Hankey Law Office, P.C., social security disability benefits can help the disabled cover the costs of housing, food, and other costs. This is why it is critical for those who have become disabled to determine if they qualify for security benefits.Read More
With the increase of prices in everything from cars to college, the need for loans has increased immensely in the past years. This can in turn lead to a rise in the amount of debt for individuals, leaving some with too much debt to handle. When this happens, filing for bankruptcy can be the best option. It is a confusing and scary process, involving loads of paperwork and decisions that have to be made. One of these decisions is whether to file for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, two options for personal bankruptcy. Understanding the difference between these two can, however, make the decision easier.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as liquidation bankruptcy. According to the website of Gagnon, Peacock, & Vereeke, P.C., chapter 7 bankruptcy involves canceling out all debts by liquidating some of your property in order to pay creditors. This can include a second car or home. This is typically the option for those who have little or no disposable income. The process takes around 3-5 months and can be extremely difficult to deal with. However, it has the benefit of completely wiping out unsecured debt and including credit card debt, according to information on the Greenway Law, LLC website.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also known as "wage earner's bankruptcy," according to the website of Erin B. Shank, PC. This is designed for people who have regular income and simply extends the period of time in which they can pay back their debts or reduces payment amounts. While it does not completely wipe out debt, it can help you make payments in a more reasonable manner.
Bankruptcy is something that many people do not think they will ever have to turn to. However, filing for bankruptcy can often be the most viable option for those looking to get back on their feet and can be the start to a new financial future for many.Read More
Doctors Deserve Prompt Pay
Doctors are some of the hardest working professionals in the nation and provide numerous services to individuals, ranging from simple check-ups to some of the most complicated procedures. For these services, insurance companies are often required to pay doctors for their work. Unfortunately, many insurance companies can engage in deceptive practices intended to having to pay doctors for their work. This violates the Texas Prompt Payment Act of 2003 requiring insurance companies to payout within 60 days of receiving requested items and forms required for payment. Luckily, according to the website of prompt pay law firm Williams Kherkher, this law also helps medical professionals get their due compensation.
For medical professionals dealing with deceptive insurance companies, it is important to understand just how much compensation they can receive and punishments that an insurance company can receive. If an insurance company pays a claim 45 days after the deadline, they may have to pay a $100,000 fine. If they pay 49-91 days after the deadline, the fine raises to $200,000 and keeps raising the longer they take to pay out. However, the Texas Prompt Payment Act does not only cover late payments but underpayments as well. If an insurance company does not pay the full amount to a doctor for their medical services, the penalties can be similar to if they were late on their payments.
Doctors and medical professionals not only work extremely hard, but have some of the most complicated jobs in the nation. This is one of the many reasons they deserve to be fully paid for their services, despite unfair practices by insurance companies. Not being paid fully for services in the medical profession is a serious issue and should be handled as best as it possibly can be, sometimes including legal guidance.Read More
Morcellators Lawsuits
Morcellators are surgical devices that not many are familiar with. It was commonly used by Gynecologists in minimally invasive procedures, such as hysterectomy or a myomectomy, to break down large tissue growths into smaller pieces. Once thought to be a useful tool in removal of tissue with benefits such as shorter recovery time and less pain, people who had surgery using morcellators began experiencing serious problems. While the device was effective in breaking up noncancerous tissue, women who had cancerous cells started seeing these cells spread to other areas of their bodies.
The spread of cancerous cells due to the use of a morcellator occurs in women who have undetected urine cancer. While this might not sound like a common occurrence, it can occur in as many as 1 in every 370 procedures. Aside from cancer, morcellators can also cause abnormal growth of the tissue or direct harm to healthy tissue. This is why Johnson & Johnson recalled three of its power morcellators after the correlation between the device and serious medical problems was revealed. The FDA also issued an official warning to doctors to stop use of the device in women. They also put a "Black Box" warning on the device, meaning that the risks of the device far outweighed the possible benefits of using it. However, many individuals had already suffered significantly due to the device.
Women looking to undergo a fairly simple and minimally invasive surgery could face the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body without knowing it. When a morcellator is used in surgery on a women with undiagnosed urine cancer, the medical problems that an individual has to endure can be life changing. Many women have filed Morcellator lawsuits in an attempt to seek answers and hold someone accontable for what they've had to experience.Read More
Coloring Your Hair Tech: Balayage
A woman's hair is one of the most important parts of their beauty routine. Hundreds of dollars are spent every year by individual women to maintain their locks and keep them looking their best. Aside from just a normal haircut, many women opt to get highlights to change or enhance their natural hair color. Many turn to a cheap salon or even store bought products to do the job, often ending up with mediocre results or results that last longer than a couple of weeks. This can leave many women feeling disenchanted with the process of coloring their hair and feeling less confident. Many a Houston hair salon has started offering a service known as balayage which can improve coloring results for women.
Balayage is a coloring technique that began in France in the 1970's. Rather than the traditional foiling technique used by most salons, balayage is a coloring process that involves the stylists painting on the color, leading to more effective results. The benefits of this technique go beyond the physical components, however. Balayage highlights can go 8-12 weeks without being touched up, whereas traditional foil highlights can have to be retouched in as little as 6 weeks. The longer time between highlight and coloring sessions can save an individual time and money. Aside from not having to dye your hair as often, there are other ways balayage is healthier for your hair. Since the dye does not completely saturate your hair, you can expect less damage. Balayage is also safe for pregnant women and those with allergies, as the dye does not sit on the scalp but rather just the hair.
Balayage not only has numerous health and maintenance benefits, but is more versatile as the highlights can be as soft or as strong as you prefer. Women are now looking to balayage for not only these reasons, but to feel as confident in their hair as they possibly can.Read More

BOSTON -- The Red Sox annual Picnic in the Park took place after Sunday's win over Toronto, a chance for players and their families to mingle in the outfield on a perfect afternoon in Boston.
The pastoral scene was a fitting end to a lovely season at home for the Sox, who finished 53-28 at Fenway Park, the best home mark in the American League and a clear indication that finishing with home-field advantage throughout the playoffs is of the utmost importance.
As Boston leaves town for the last time before the playoffs, here are 10 items to keep an eye on over the final five games of the season:
1. Press on: "To continue to win," Red Sox manager John Farrell said Sunday when asked what his primary goal was on the five-game road trip. The club is closing in on securing the top spot in the AL, which would give them a home game Oct. 4 against the winner of the wild card play-in game, as well as home-field advantage over either Oakland or Detroit in a potential ALCS. (The Tigers have yet to clinch the Central but own a five-game advantage over Cleveland with six games to play.)
To illustrate just how critical it would be for Boston to have home-field advantage if it reached the second round, consider some basic win-loss records. The Sox are 64-27 at home against Oakland and Detroit since 2003. They are 38-49 at Oakland and Detroit in that same span.
2. Reeling Rockies: The bid for that top record in the AL may get a boost with two games at Colorado, which has been in play-out-the-string mode for weeks. However, before two Ws are penciled in for the Sox, it is worth noting that this year's version of the Rockies has played out much like others in the franchise history, with decidedly better results at home. Entering Sunday, 12 teams in baseball owned more than Colorado's 44 home wins. However, only Miami and the Chicago White Sox had fewer road wins than the Rockies' 27.
3. Rotation shift: Farrell announced Sunday that John Lackey would start Tuesday in Colorado and Jake Peavy would go Wednesday. Clay Buchholz, Jon Lester and Lackey are then scheduled to go, in that order, in the final three games of the season in Baltimore. That means Lester and Lackey are lined up to go in Games 1 and 2 of a Division Series with a five full days of rest, or Buchholz is the choice for the playoff opener on six days of rest, followed by Lester with six days off and Lackey in Game 3 with seven.
4. Ellsbury in action: The target date for Jacoby Ellsbury's return is Wednesday in Colorado. If that doesn't work out, Friday in Baltimore is likely. "Getting Jacoby back is probably as big a key as anything," Farrell said about the priorities on the road trip. Ellsbury said earlier Sunday he does not anticipate any rust entering the postseason.
5. Limit the workload?: Koji Uehara's outings come and go like a summer breeze. It's a wonder we see him sweating in the clubhouse after games. Perhaps that comes from the ferocity of the high-fives, for there is such a limited degree of stress for Uehara and almost no reason to hesitate when calling his name.
However, Uehara has established career highs in appearances and innings pitched and has thrown 1,020 pitches this season, his highest total since 1,055 in his rookie year with Baltimore. A few more outings and the star closer may pass that mark and firmly establish his heaviest workload in the majors. Farrell would love to see a rout or two, one way or another, on this trip so he can stay away from Uehara.
6. Bullpen bingo: While Uehara's role is understood, others in the pen operate on a day-to-day basis. There are times when Junichi Tazawa is the setup man, others when Craig Breslow does that work. Matt Thornton and Franklin Morales can match up against lefties, as can Ryan Dempster with his splitter. Brandon Workman and Drake Britton have had nice moments, but are rookies. In the end, however, Farrell has gone with a mix-and-match system for most of the second half of the season. He may use these final five games to give some guys that final test to see where best to slot them in the postseason.
7. Felix's farewell?: One member of that bullpen formula could be Felix Doubront, who tossed seven strong innings Sunday. Farrell said he may give Doubront a look out of the pen next weekend in Baltimore, but admitted there will not be much of an opportunity to gauge Doubront's effectiveness in a relief role before the roster is set for the Division Series.
Doubront deflected a postgame question Sunday about heading to the pen. His status remains very much up in the air, although it seems likely that he will be on the outside looking in come October.
8. Stretch it out: Another road trip priority for Farrell is to "get Clay stretched out." Indeed, Clay Buchholz has managed to increase his pitch count in three starts since returning from injury, but he has yet to go beyond six innings. Stress of pitches and the number of up-and-downs are nearly as important as strict pitch count, and Farrell might want to get Buchholz through a sticky seventh before he knows his right-hander is primed for playoff baseball.
9. Jackie Bradley vs. Quintin Berry: This figures to be the one playoff roster competition remaining. Ellsbury's ability to return with no issues is important, as it would render Bradley less significant, but it will be interesting to see how Farrell utilizes these two, and in what situations. Maybe his mind is already made up, but if not, there are five more games to make an impression.
10. Oh, those Orioles: Baltimore has lost four straight, a slide that has virtually wiped away its playoff hopes. They are 4 ½ back of the second wild card spot with seven games to play. If by some chance the Orioles manage to stick around until Friday, then that final series might have them playing with desperation. Baltimore already gives Boston all kinds of fits. If the Sox are still fighting for the best record and the O's are still in the playoff mix, it could be a fun final weekend.

Module Use and Impact The Electronics and Computer Module provides the majority of hardware and software support for research computers of NEI-funded investigators. Investigators in the Core Center receive minimal support for their research computers through the University of Michigan Medical Center for Information Technology (MCIT), and this is limited to connectivity, e-mail, security issues, Microsoft Office software, and the Windows XP operating system. Windows 7 and PC computer hardware and software problems and upgrades are not supported. Furthermore, MCIT does not support Macintosh hardware and software or Linux-based systems and software. The Electronics and Computer Module facilitates the research of NEI-funded investigators by solving research computer problems, including hardware and software upgrades as well as the design and installation of data backup systems. The Module also supports more than 15 PC and Macintosh computers that are integral to the instruments overseen by the Molecular Biology Module and Morphology and Imaging Module. A second function of the Electronics and Computer Module is to provide investigators assistance with the design, construction, testing, calibration, repair, and maintenance of electronic devices and computer interfaces. Integrating the processes of stimulus control, data acquisition, and response analysis is critical to electrophysiological studies of the visual system. With the existence of the Electronics and Computer Module, generating the appropriate stimulus, recording and amplifying the desired signal, digitizing and sorting this signal, extracting the salient parameters and finally modeling the results, is not limited to what can be done with commercially available equipment. Examples of projects and unique instruments the Electronics and Computer Module constructs include software-based stimulus controls to electromechanical devices such as shutters and servo-motors, and signal processors to enhance signal-to-noise ratios. Other Module functions that support the research of limited as well as more extensive users include construction of special pieces of electrical equipment and emergency repairs of commercial electronic and electromechanical devices. This latter function prevents investigators from having to interrupt work while waiting long periods for repairs. Similarly, the Electronics and Computer Module also ensures that instruments and computers in the Molecular Biology Module are repaired quickly with minimal downtime.

I suppose in cocoon-sitemap Caches will be declared in the sitemap, but a public setter, in components that need using the Cache, could be useful to inject it.

On Sunday, Hillary Clinton announced her bid for presidency with a big blue 'H' connected by a red arrow pointing right. It's pretty obviously supposed to symbolize Clinton's ability to cross the aisles to get things done, or something, but it soon became a weird design Rorschach test, which the Internet interpreted as everything from the signage on a Carnival Cruise Ship to (duh!) 9/11.
If just one little 'H' can cause all that pandemonium, imagine what a whole alphabet can do! Designer Rick Wolff has taken Hillary's campaign logo and turned it into an entire typeface, called (appropriately enough) Hillvetica. If you thought that red arrow was enraging on an "H," wait'll you get a load of it on a Q, and ampersand, or a question mark!
Sadly, Hillvetica isn't a computer downloadable font yet, but Wolff has started a crowdfunding campaign to get it off the ground. Donate to make Hillvetica a reality on GoFundMe by clicking here.
