By Marcello Iaia
WESTERLO — Amid a recent reshuffling of town officials, Keith Wright, was chosen by an all-Democratic town board on Dec. 4 to fill the vacancy left by retiring Highway Superintendent John Nevins.
The maintenance of all 54 miles of town roads is the responsibility of Wright's department and, in a rural Hilltown like Westerlo, he is focused on keeping them drivable during the winter and overseeing repairs of damage sustained last year during Tropical Storm Irene.
Wright, a Democrat, grew up in Feura Bush, just south of Slingerlands, where he started working as a meat cutter at Falvo's Meat Market when he was a teenager. He can still bone an animal with ease — deer being his favorite to hunt because it becomes so varied in his kitchen.
"You make cutlets out of it. You can make roasts out of it; stew," Wright said last week, listing his preparations of heart and venison. "You can do the steaks the same as you do beef, or veal, or anything."
Wright, 57, said he has enjoyed his 18 years with the Westerlo Highway Department for similar reasons, most recently working six years as foreman.
"You could be putting pipes in in the summertime, blacktopping, cutting brush, ditching — just, so many different things," Wright said of the work he still does out on the roads as superintendent, with eight other workers. He oversees an additional employee working at the town landfill.
While Wright still likes the outdoors and rural environment he enjoyed at Lake Onderdonk as a child, he said he hates the winter. He spends his free time in his preferred season, the summer, training his Labrador retrievers to hunt duck and pheasant.
Road recovery
The process of coordinating Westerlo's road repairs with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the State Emergency Management Office has taken more than a year since Irene washed out several roads in August 2011. The town is in the Basic Creek watershed.
Federal funding for projects repairing damage from tropical storms Irene and Lee is 75 percent, with the remaining 25 percent covered by the state.
Getting through all the paperwork, collecting money, and finishing projects — paving on Tan Hollow Road and Lobdell Mill Road this spring, and installing two culvert pipes on Boomhower Road — is his main concern during 2013, Wright said.
Both Tan Hollow and Lobdell Mill were severely washed out and have since been filled in and their banks restored with large rocks. Wright said the eight highway department workers he oversees are not capable of such large projects, which are done by Callanan Industries, Inc. At the September town board meeting that followed the storms, Nevins said repairs to the two roads could cost close to $1.5 million.
Callanan quoted over $100,000 for installing the culvert pipes along Boomhower Road. Paving for Tan Hollow, from bridge to bridge, Wright said, would be $140,000, and $17,000 for Lobdell Mill. The fill and new culvert pipe on Lobdell Mill will cost roughly $360,000.
"Our ditches and the streams were all fixed from Irene, so everything held up real well when we had that heavy rain," said Wright, of storms last month.
Westerlo snow
Without snow for most of 2012, Wright said, highway workers have recently been occupied in the garage, making sure their trucks are mechanically ready for the winter months. Many of Westerlo's trucks are recently purchased and built for snow-plowing, a $240,000 expense in the $965,000 highway budget.
As he resigned from his seat in November, Councilman Greg Zeh said the town should look into shared services as an untapped area of savings large enough to keep tax increases from exceeding the state-set 2-percent cap the board voted to override for 2013. Zeh suggested the title and job description of the highway superintendent be changed to a commissioner of public works that would include oversight of the Westerlo water system, parks, and building maintenance.
"How are they going to maintain that [services] with a tax base that is not growing rapidly, but with costs that are continuing to grow?" Zeh asked rhetorically in November.
Wright said he has not had any conversations about shared services with Nevins or board members.
"I think it's good the way it is, as far as doing things in the wintertime," said Wright. "The county can't go on our roads with their trucks and we can't go on theirs…because we use sand, salt mixture, and the county uses just straight salt. There's no way you can put that on the town roads, it'd just tear them right up." The town's mixture is a third salt.
Current practice is common courtesy, Wright said, when it comes to equipment and plowing between county and town road crews.
"We've got an excavator; if they need it we'll go and dig a pipe up for them — do anything we can to help them out…. If we need a truck or something, they'll send over a truck," said Wright.
Aside from finishing the town's recovery from storm damage, Wright said the highway department will keep busy with routine resurfacing of roads and clearing ditches.
"Our roads, for town roads, they're in good shape," said Wright.
No major changes or initiatives are planned, Wright said, adding that he wants to focus on making things "as smooth as possible."
"There's only a certain amount of money that we have, so you've got to work within your budget and get as much done with whatever money I have," said Wright.

3-3 is not bad. A lot better than my 1-8 start last season. Manu isn't doing much off the bench right now. My offense is strong, but I need to do more defensively. Too many turnovers as well on my team. Mostly Big Country and Mighty Mouse.
Looks like the nuggets have some competition...

2-4. Just like last year my offense is dreadful. Thought focusing on outside was the key but I guess not.
Oh weird, didn't know that. Anyway, CP did you make a decision on whether or not in-season FAs are excluded from the 60day trade rule? Seems like most are in favor/unopposed to it.
Whoa, I was talking with Onepoint about the league just a few days ago.

Person airlifted following assault Thursday night at Rochester hotel
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded around 8 p.m. after the man was struck during an incident at the Residence Inn at 182 Milton Rd., according to Deputy Police Chief Scott Dumas. The identity of the man has not been released.
Dumas said police are looking into whether the serious head injury was caused by an object or another person.
"We anticipate making an arrest this afternoon," Dumas said, adding more information will be released at that time.
By the time firefighters arrived at the scene Thursday evening, paramedics from Frisbie Memorial Hospital were already treating the man, according to Assistant Fire Chief Mark Dupuis. He said firefighters helped paramedics by providing a driver and transporting the patient to Skyhaven Airport on Route 125.
Dumas said a flight from the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team (DHART) transported the man from Skyhaven to Maine Medical Center in Portland.

We've all heard the stories: A young man or woman is followed and attacked. But we may be helping would-be stalkers, particularly through activity on social media. Our Kat De Maria sat down with an expert and tells us about tracking data and what it can tell people about who and where we are.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Imagine you're at the Schine Student Center at Syracuse University. Someone comes up to you and says they like baking, too. The person knows a lot about you but has never actually met you. It may be alarming, but it's possible, through a smart phone app called Highlight.
"Accesses almost all of your publicly available data off of Facebook and uses it to suggest people who might be nearby you that you don't know that might have something in common with you, suggesting them as possibly somebody to go up and meet," said Kate Brodock, SU Digital and Social Media Executive Director.
Highlight, which SU's digital and social media director says has been described as "very creepy," is one of many tracking apps that builds off of Foursquare, which allows you to "check in" at many locations. Foursquare sometimes offers deals or discounts and has social appeal.
"It's interesting when people post when they're in a new place, maybe they're at a restaurant I haven't tried or seeing a movie I haven't seen before, I can ask them how it was, what they thought about it. It's just a good way to keep current," SU graduate student Gregory Sides said.
Sides says he limits his locations to a few close friends. But it's possible to let a whole lot of people know where you are, if your Foursquare is linked to Facebook or Twitter. Facebook itself also does a lot of tracking, including of who you're with and where you are. This fun company picture lets each of these co-workers' friends know that all of us were at the bowling alley, for example. And thanks to the recent changes to Facebook, information like that and more goes to all of their friends, too.
"Their entire network can then see what you've posted, all of the comments on there and if you've been geolocated, they can understand that, as well," Brodock said.
Well it's pretty obvious that right now I'm at Syracuse University. But I won't be by the time this story airs and I don't use check-in services like Foursquare. But what if somebody does, but doesn't want people to know where they are all the time?
"I always tell people don't geotag your house, when you leave the house you might not want to immediately broadcast to the world. Moderate level of check-ins and that," said Brodock.
The social media director also suggests familiarizing yourself with privacy settings on tracking applications and customizing them to suit your comfort level.
For Laetitia Degoul, who does not have a smart phone, she says apps like Highlight are way too much.
"I think it's still weird to go up to somebody and say, oh, I hear you like baking, and we should be friends," Degoul said.
The social media director suggests Googling yourself often and understanding how applications use the data available to them.
As with many things, advocates say education is the key to staying safe: At SU or anywhere in the social media world.

Then cancel Netflix and go to that [Red-something] at the supermarket.

I am a Straight Christain Mother with two Kids
Well, aren't you special!
Netflix isn't sticking an Uzi up your straight Christian ass, forcing you to watch anything. You no likee look at Gays? Just look somewhere else.
Think about it. You already have the choice.
I am a White Grand Wizard Father with two Kids.. I do however understand both sides. My bestfriends is a Noir also. I do believe the Noir community should be able to have they're Genre, But i also believe i shouldnt have to see it. Due to my BELIEFS & young kids. Now i dont blame anyone (Noir or White), Netflix wants to have everything for anyone to watch.. From a buisness prospective its smart. The reason im upset at Netflix is because they dont have the Option to take away Genres. Think about it. If you had a Choice.. You wouldnt have to complain & Netflix would make SO MUCH MORE. I feel that as a Customer we all should have the right to say what we want on our home Genre screen. The customers would be happier, Noir or White you would get what you wanted. There would be alot less people canceling the service.
What is a Christain, a Christian who abstains?
Use vinegar solution to clean stubborn santorum off your underwear.
Usually, whatever follows "I'm a Christian" is very un-Christ-like.
Not surprising. Christ wasn't a Christian.

Get a little mad scientist with your beer
Friday - 4/20/2012, 3:13pm  ET
Brennan Haselton, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Remember when beer was just beer? Nowadays they throw everything but the kitchen sink in and some of it's very good.
But what if you could infuse beer yourself, at home?
The folks at Dogfish Craft Brewery in Delaware say you can with their new Randall Jr home beer infuser. A tongue-in-cheek "informercial" explains how it works, but basically you fill the Randall Jr's basket with whatever you want -- fruit, jelly beans, clam shells, anything -- add beer, pop in the 'fridge and presto, you've got your own home infused concoction.
We've purchased a Randall Jr, and will get to back to you on its performance.

Respect views of Falklands Islanders demands PM David Cameron
Prime Minister David Cameron last night confronted Argentina's president over the Falklands, as the two met at the G20 summit in Mexico.
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner attempted to hand Mr Cameron a package marked UN – Malvinas but he refused to accept it.
He told her she should respect the decision of the islanders on their future in a referendum next year.
Relations between Britain and Argentina are in the deep freeze after Buenos Aires tried to use the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War to revive its claim on the islands.
Britain has rejected calls made by Ms Kirchner to the UN decolonisation committee for direct talks to discuss the future of the disputed territory in the south Atlantic.
The tension between the countries has been ramped up during this week's summit after Mr Cameron singled out Argentina for criticism for its protectionist policies.
Downing Street aides said the Prime Minister sought out Ms Kirchner to make Britain's position on the Falklands clear.
Mr Cameron said: "I am not proposing a full discussion now on the Falklands but I hope you have noted that they are holding a referendum and you should respect their views.
"We should believe in self-determination and act as democrats."
Aides said Mr Cameron gave a "clear and calm message".

[Solved] Right way to put SVG code directly into HTML?
As SVG tag is not recommended by W3C with what tag you should wrap SVG code in HTML? Though all modern browsers render it perfectly valid document is a right way to go. :)
If you're not using the svg element can you actually USE svg code?
Anyway, from my reading every web browser supports SVG except Internet Explorer versions 8 and older.
There should be of course SVG element(don't know will it work without), i wished to ask with what element you should wrap SVG element. Like OBJECT...?
Document didn't pass validation in Brackets with JSLint. Now I did validation in http://html5.validator.nu/ and he says "The document is valid HTML5 + ARIA + SVG 1.1 + MathML 2.0".
All modern browsers do support it perfectly and i have no concerns for older browsers, they are pretty much dead for me. Well XP users on IE8 are only concern, but also i think that "right" users on XP use Chrome or Firefox.
So i guess it's fine too use SVG element without OBJECT...

Not much rhymes with colonoscopy....
Wanted to give you some amusing little ditty to help you feel some pity....
(Hey, THAT rhymes...).
Nothin' doin'.
So, then, I thought about bright and cheerful images, to encourage all my readers to take care of BUSINESS, if you know what I mean.
Here's the best I could do...
This story begins about a year and a half ago, on my 50th birthday. (I apologize to all you young things who simply CAN'T relate. And I have but one piece of advice for you: just wait. It's coming for you, too, Babe, and it's sooner than you think.) So, anyway, it was a big day for me: I needed to get my driver's license renewed, and I needed to get my photo made. So I dressed in a GOOD color for me, got my hair done, and waltzed into the DMV, Express Lane. The girl who was taking my picture said, "Oh, that's a nice photo!" and I said, "Yeah, and it's my 50th birthday, too!" And of course, the poor woman had no choice but to oooh and aaah over how young I looked. So I walked out of there with a spring in my step, and off I went to my doctor's office.
I pulled the same thing on several other people, who all also, agreeably, complied with my request for vain assurances that I really didn't look "that" old. And then, enter my blue eyed doctor, whom I adore. "Really????" he beamed. "Your birthday? Well, I have a little present for you!" I dimpled in what I hoped was a fetching manner. "You DO????" By this time, the hook was firmly set in my jaw. "What is it???!!!!" I asked my wonderful, generous doctor-friend. "It's called a 'colonoscopy'" he smirked. Honestly, the nerve of some men. He USED to be my favorite doctor.
We had no money. We have a high deductible. I had no time. I didn't WANNA. So, like many of you have done, I put it off.
Flash forward a year and a half.
Last month, I got the word from one of my siblings, who shall go unnamed, that a cancerous polyp had been found in (and was then successfully removed from) his/her colon.
And, this sibling gently and lovingly warned me, that if I knew what was good for me....
Well, cancer in a family member certainly perks up your attention level. And, this year, I HAVE met my deductible. And so, I got busy and scheduled the darn thing.
Here are my words of wisdom in regard to this procedure:
First and foremost:
1. For cryin' out loud, just do it. It really ain't that big a thing. And I'm a great big weenie in regard to fear. But honestly, if I can do it, so can you.
2. It's just like you've heard: the prep is the worst part. But in regard to that, they've made some significant advances, which leads to #3.
3. Ask for Miralax for your prep. Mix it with SmartWater (electrolytes, dontchaknow) or Gatorade. Drinking an entire gallon, 8 0z. every 10 minutes, really was the worst part. But it's doable. I understand that the "old" stuff: GoLytely, it's called - now, THERE'S a misnomer if ever there was one - is terrible, terrible stuff.
4. This is my most significant piece of advice of all, so listen up.
I cannot emphasize this last point strongly enough.
Because, first off, by scheduling the colonoscopy, well, aren't you being the Brave Little Soldier in the first place? Don't you deserve LOTS and LOTS of sympathy and pampering and hand-holding (as long as you've washed them after every bathroom visit)? And if your dear spouse is lying in the bed next to you moaning and groaning and clutching his own guts, well, it kinda steals your thunder a little bit. Although, after that night, we each had plenty of surplus thunder that needed to BE stolen, if you know what I mean.
When my dh attempted to steal the toilet away from me at 3:00 AM, as we were both making a mad dash for the facility, I'm telling you, that was just about the final straw for me. THANK GOD we have more than one toilet in this house, or somebody would have been calling Stanley Steamer the next morning before we left for the clinic. (Stanley Steamer: hey, that could be another joke...better not go there....) After that, I decided to sleep downstairs on the living room couch. Pilgrim, my German Shepherd followed me down the steps, and lay on the rug in the living room, her tall, pointy ears coming up every time they detected another whale song coming from my rumbly tumbly. Deep, crying out to deep. Wow, it was loud.
Anyway, I made it through. Versed is my friend. I never felt a thing, I had a lovely nap, and I woke up in the recovery room with my dear husband sitting next to me reading a magazine. He and the kids were hoping for some GREAT stories in regard to loopy ways I might be acting following the procedure, but I am afraid I let them down in this regard. Oh, well. (Kudos to whoever dosed me up with the meds: just enough, but not too much!)
Oh, by the way: did I mention? I'm all clean!!! Praise the Lord and pass the cheese!

Colposcopy rhymes, but that would be hard to fit into a song. Except maybe you could say you'd rather have a colonoscopy than a colposcopy. I'm not sure I would, but you could say it.
I'm glad you went and did it. You are the brave little toaster in my world.
and oddly enough, my secret word to get this posted is "tummess". Isn't that fitting?

I had one last year at 34 because of illness. It was a 3 day prep with the last day being the "turned to water" part. It was horrendous. They said the 1 day prep for your 50th was bad but slightly less than bc you werent starving for 3 days. I do NOT look forward to 50. - March 28, 2012 at 2:18 PM

Re: Breaking news in F1...
Long but fun. I'm a bike guy first and foremost. Used to race, was a mechanic (mostly Ducati, BMW, Yamaha). I've kept a lot of the bikes I owned, considering I started at 15 and I'm 61, that's a few.
I have the MV 750 Senna. Great bike, fast as hell. Comes with two exhaust systems. I took the noisier one and gutted it, remapped the FI on a friends dyno. 149 at the rear wheel. I still don't really believe it. But when it hits the limiter at 13,900 RPM it makes your hair stand up.
I agree that big horsepower isn't that important on the street. I have one of the Kenny Dreer Norton 880 sprints. Makes me feel like I'm 19 again when I ride it. Probably has 60 HP but i toast a lot of sportbike guys with it on twisty stuff. Skinny tires, but good handling and torque to pull the bike back up. Some of those guys can ride, but a lot of them wear their tires out in the middle (if they wear them out at all).
Got a bunch of bikes, way to many to list. A '50 vincent black shadow, the prototype for the new vincent (Honda RC51 engine, frame and running gear by Roush)--I have the touring version. I invested in the company and part of the deal was I got one of the prototypes: http://www.vincentmotors.com/BIK/touring.php .There's only one of them. If we ever do make these bikes they'll have a different engine, the Honda deal didn't work out. Couple of Gold Stars, lots of japanese stuff (FZR1000, FJ1300, etc.) plenty of dirt bikes. My old Matchless G80CS Desert Sled, some BMW airheads, other stuff. I'm not a collector, I just don't like selling bikes.
there's some incidental toy pictures in this gallery. http://gallery.mac.com/billbab#100006&a … amp;sel=14
f you look carefully at the senna pictures you'll note the exhaust has big holes in the back. Nuttin' in 'em.

News and Notes 9/14
John Bowker has made a good impression since he was re-called. The coaching staff were very impressed by his defense at first base on Sunday. They also expect to use him quite often the remainder of the season.
"I'd like to give him a little bit more of a look," Russell said. "He's got bat speed, very direct to the ball, some power … instincts on the field."
Brad Lincoln has yet to be used out of the 'pen since being re-called a week ago but has continued throwing on the side.
"We're making a lot of progress," Ray Searage said. "His neck, which had been stiff two weeks ago, is fully recovered."
Both Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata have been given the green light to steal. John Russell's intention is to get the top two in the order to be more aggressive on the bases and for them to be considered as a "threat" for the 2011 season.
"That's how you're going to learn," Russell said. "We can create a lot of really fun things with that. Once they start to get a taste of it — Andrew is going to keep going, and so is Jose. When you pull off a couple double steals, now they know. They're going to be a pretty good tandem."

Birds of Prey #61: Barbara's not being particularly rational, as Dinah quickly realises - her fear of losing Dinah to one of Oracle's enemies is overriding everything else, and she's not handling it well. Still, Dinah's hurt by this apparent lack of faith in her, and it leaves her feeling as if she's got something to prove. Which leads to this great scene, in which Dinah, still wheelchair-bound, takes on a group of thugs single-handedly. (That's her canary cry destroying the car in the first panel.)
Birds of Prey #77: Just an ordinary night out on the town with Dinah, Helena and Zinda. Hideous artwork, and I'm not quite sure why Canary and Huntress chose to exit through the window, but I just love Zinda's reaction to the bar fight.
Birds of Prey #80: The scene that breaks my heart every time. Helena realises that Oracle has been manipulating her.
Birds of Prey #84: Barbara has been infected by a cybernetic virus, a remnant of Brainiac's attempted possession of her body. Realising that the cure may very well kill her, she wants to at least try to put things right between her and Huntress first.
Birds of Prey #88: A trip to the mall!
Birds of Prey #90: This. This. Helena's working an undercover operation in order to strike a blow at Gotham's mobs. Batman outright demands that Oracle shut her down, that what Helena's really angling at is getting the mobs to destroy each other, violently, by instigating gang warfare. And Babs, who's made the mistake of doubting Helena more than once, tells Batman he can shove it.
Helena doesn't disappoint. Her operation goes off without a hitch, and she comes away from it with a wealth of inside information which even Batman has never managed to get his hands on.
A stunned Batman congratulates Huntress on her excellent work, leading Canary to do this:
Bahahahaha, I love you, Zinda.
Birds of Prey #93: During Shiva's short stint on the team. Cracks me up every time. Also, Zinda is awesome.
Birds of Prey #99: Dinah leaves the team in order to devote herself to raising her adoptive daughter, Sin.
Birds of Prey #100: I just enjoy this little bit of banter between Zinda and Babs.
Birds of Prey #107: Spy Smasher, aka Katarina Armstrong, forces Oracle to work for her and takes over the Birds of Prey. Nobody takes particularly kindly to it, but it's Zinda who's the first to outright reject Kat's command. Have I mentioned Zinda is awesome?
Birds of Prey #108: Babs finally faces Spy Smasher head on.
This is the point at which Spy Smasher storms outside, only to be confronted with every single hero and antihero the Birds have ever worked with. Also, Dinah!
And THIS.
Babs can't join them because she's got something else she needs to take care of: Misfit, the relentlessly eager-to-please Batgirl wannabe who's been trying to buddy up to the Birds, and who it turns out has been doing it fairly tough behind her cheerful bravado.

Mavic Yksion Griplink Tubular Tire
- Item: MAV0406 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 263 g
Sale $60.00
For years we've relied on the same tires for both ends of our bike when, in reality, the job requirements are different for the front as compared to the rear. This is the reason that Mavic's racing tires are built specifically for each end of the bike. This Yksion GripLink Tubular Tire has been created with a dual tread compound for the express purpose of keeping your front wheel glued to the tarmac when you lay your bike into a sweeping high speed corner.
The smooth black sidewall is more than just window dressing. The tread rubber is thickest, of course, in the center where it experiences the most wear and thins progressively towards the bead. The result is a sidewall that resists cuts on gravel strewn roads as well as looks great when paired with black carbon fiber rims. Inside the vulcanized casing rubber is a fabric that contains 25% Kevlar threads. This adds to the puncture protection along with a nylon breaker that Mavic includes underneath the tread. Even with these safeguards, the Yksion GripLink Tubular is a lightweight, race-ready tire.
And true to its name, it corners like crazy thanks to Mavic's dual compound design that places rubber with a 60a durometer in the high mileage center portion of the tread and a grippier 60a S+ high silica rubber on the shoulders. The 60a center is even softer than their PowerLink rear tire counterpart, but with the typical rear heavy weight bias on road bikes, the softer tread is more than durable enough to wear evenly with the rear tire while yielding far better grip through corners. The 290tpi casing is extremely supple and responsive. After all, what good would sticky rubber be to a brick-stiff tire. The Mavic Yksion GripLink Tubular Tire is Black and is designed for tubular rims. It's available in 700 x 23c only.

Summer is finally heating up and along with it some good news for consumers. Gas prices continue to drop at the pump, and the statewide sales tax falls back to 8.75 percent today, a decrease of 1 percent on every dollar spent. The tax rate dropped due to the expiration of temporary tax hikes imposed in 2009. The tax increase was originally imposed to help cut the state's budget deficit. While consumers will mostly feel ...
The best sales efforts in the world can be undone by weak operation support in a business.

Patients have the right to assume that the care and comfort they receive from medical providers will be proper and safe. In most cases, physicians and medical staff do uphold their end of this relationship. Sometimes, though, medical providers fall short. In such cases, they may be guilty of medical malpractice. Boston attorney Frederic Halström has extensive experience in litigating medical malpractice cases; he won the largest-ever paid medical malpractice verdict in Massachusetts. This means that clients who hire Mr. Halström will have a significant advantage in the courtroom.
Medical malpractice occurs when a physician or other medical provider fails to administer proper care to his or her patient, resulting in physical, emotional, or mental damage to the victim. In some cases, the provider may fail to properly diagnose a disease or administer proper treatment or medication. Whatever the circumstances, it is the patient – the consumer – who suffers as a result of medical malpractice. When this occurs, victims are entitled to file a medical malpractice lawsuit and should consult with a medical malpractice lawyer. Massachusetts and national victims commonly receive compensation for the following types of medical malpractice cases:
Procedural Negligence - Procedural medical negligence occurs when a medical provider fails to properly treat a patient or to perform routine tests or treatments for a medical condition. Additionally, pharmacists who fail to give proper instructions to patients when dispensing medication can be liable for medical malpractice. If this negligent act intensifies the patient's condition or leads to suffering, the doctor may be liable for medical malpractice.
Failure to Diagnose - If a physician fails to perform routine tests for diseases that are commonly linked to a patient's symptoms, he or she may be guilty of medical malpractice. Failure to diagnose can be particularly dangerous to cancer or HIV patients whose health relies on early detection. In most states, the physician can only be held liable if it can be proven that he or she strayed from customary procedural care, and that this negligence led to the patient's increased suffering or physical deterioration.
Misdiagnosis - In some cases, a physician may offer the wrong diagnosis to a patient. This is common in cases of female breast cancer. If the physician diagnoses or treats a patient for the wrong disease, the patient can suffer unnecessary financial and physical burdens.
Birth Defects or Birth Injuries - Obstetricians who do not use proper surgical care when delivering a newborn can be liable for medical malpractice if the mother or child is injured during the birth. Common negligence cases include the misdiagnosis of placenta previa and the prolonging of the birthing process. Placenta previa can cause dangerous blood loss to both the mother and the baby. Prolonging labor can lead to oxygen loss that can be fatal or cause significant brain damage to the child. Cerebal Palsy, a group of disorders that involve brain and nervous system malfunction, can be caused by lack of oxygen to the brain (hypoxia), as well as other factors.
Obstetrical Negligence - Obstetricians who fail to provide customary care to female patients may be guilty of medical malpractice if this negligence causes fertility problems or a deterioration of health for the patient. Obstetrical negligence may include improper insertion and monitoring of IUDs, and failure to diagnose gynecological diseases or conditions such as ovarian, cervical and breast cancer, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Surgical Mistakes - Surgical mistakes can involve any stage of the surgical process - from pre-operation to post-operation. Some examples of surgical mistakes are improper administration of anesthetic, failure to use proper surgical tools, or failure to provide proper care before or after the procedure.
Nursing Home Abuse or Injury - The mistreatment of elderly patients is an increasing problem in America. Often, nursing home patients do not receive proper medical or physical attention. In some cases, the owners of the nursing home or the medical providers on staff can be held liable for medical malpractice if it can be proven that their negligence led to the deterioration or death of a patient.
Wrongful Birth Improper Genetic Counseling - A wrongful birth improper genetic counseling claim usually arises from a lack of timely and adequate genetic counseling which fails to timely allow the mother the opportunity to consider termination and denies her opportunity to elect termination of fetus for genetic reasons.
Cystic Fibrosis - Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal inherited disease in white persons. It is caused by a mutation on chromosome 7 that encodes the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein; this mutation causes defects in the CFTR protein, which in turn causes abnormalities in the regulation of chloride transport across epithelial cells and mucosal surfaces. Cystic fibrosis affects the mucus glands in multiple organ systems, in particular the respiratory system. In patients with cystic fibrosis, the body produces mucus that is abnormally thick and sticky in the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas and sweat glands, obstructing these glands and airways and resulting in chronic respiratory infections. Pulmonary complications account for most of the morbidity and mortality associated with cystic fibrosis. In the United States, cystic fibrosis occurs at a rate of approximately 1 case per 3300 in whites compared with 1 in 15,000 in African Americans and 1 in 32,000 in individuals of Asian origin. The carrier rate in whites is 1 in 30 individuals compared with 1 in 60 in African Americans and 1 in 90 in Asian Americans. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations have been classified into five categories of abnormalities; individuals with a mutated form of cystic fibrosis thus can have a longer life expectancy than other individuals with cystic fibrosis. Recent advances in the treatment of cystic fibrosis with chest physiotherapy, mucus thinners, bronchodilators, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories have lengthened the life expectancy of cystic fibrosis patients. Testing for cystic fibrosis carrier status can be performed in a blood sample (genetic testing) or with sweat (sweat testing). If you or your child suffers from cystic fibrosis and you were not given the option to undergo genetic counseling and/or genetic testing [during prenatal counseling?], Frederic N. Halstrom and the Boston area medical malpractice attorneys at Halstrom Law Offices, P.C. can help you get the compensation you deserve.
First, it is important to remember that not all injuries or even fatalities are the result of medical malpractice. Our Boston law firm reminds consumers that all medical and surgical procedures carry with them some risk. However, there are some steps you can take if you suspect that you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice.
1. Examine the Evidence: Not all unfavorable outcomes are the result of medical malpractice, so it is important to ask some questions. First, does the damage caused by the medical procedure or surgery seem extreme? If so, was the patient warned that the medical or surgical procedure could have this result? If not, then the patient or their loved ones should question the physician or medical provider. If he or she is unable to give a satisfactory response, the patient may have been the victim of medical malpractice, and should seek the services of a medical malpractice lawyer immediately.
2. Document Everything: If you suspect that you have been the victim of medical negligence, it is important to retain specific documentation. Write down the doctor's instructions and the consequences he or she listed as a result of a certain medical procedure. Try to keep copies of medical bills and patient instructions. This will assist your medical malpractice lawyer in assessing and litigating your case.
3. Contact a Medical Malpractice Lawyer: Massachusetts victims are encouraged to contact our offices today. Remember that the sooner you contact a lawyer, the stronger your case will be.

Marussia team principal Graeme Lowdon believes the team's car for next year is on schedule to make the first pre-season tests.
The Banbury-based team used its 2011 car for the initial tests in 2012 and the MVR-02 car was only released for the final session at Barcelona, ahead of the season's opening race in Australia.
The delay in their pre-season plans centered on the team's failure to pass a number of the mandatory crash tests new cars are subjected to.
However Lowdon is adamant that the team is on track with their MVR-03 thanks largely to the technical structure that was put in place after Nick Wirth's departure from the team.
The first practice session ahead of the 2013 season starts on February 5 at Jerez.
"It's on target at the moment, and in fact some bits are ahead," Lowdon confirmed.
"We've got a high degree of confidence. We've got a totally different structure now.
"This will be our first car that's truly our car in terms of the new people involved. The car we've just finished with was a full CFD car when we hit the first race."
Marussia ended the 2012 season in 11th place despite being in 10th after the Singapore Grand Prix, but dropped down to 11th when Caterham usurped them at the final race of the season in Brazil.
Despite their struggles in 2012, Lowdon is convinced that Marussia will be a top 10 team next year.
"I definitely think this is a top 10 team. We didn't have a top 10 car, and that's something that takes time and money," he said.
"Look at Brazil, Timo's fastest stop was faster than all the stops McLaren did. People don't notice that kind of thing, but we've now got a very, very good team. A really good structure, very tight-knit and a very low cost base.
"If we have a car that's capable of quicker laptimes, which is the other piece of the jigsaw - and everything I've seen is that next year's car is going to be a really good car - then you can't write this team off.
"I'm perfectly happy to call this team a top 10 team even if the results don't show it. I'm looking forward to Melbourne."

On the menu will be guacamole and tortilla chips as a pre-dinner snack, my famous Caesar salad, curried Indian vegetable soup, cornmeal biscuits, scalloped potatoes with coconut milk and mushrooms, a rice and cauliflower pilaf courtesy of one of my guests, and a bean dish and dessert that one of my other guests will prepare for the meal.
