American Express v. Italian Colors Ruling
In American Express v. Italian Colors, the Supreme Court last week, in a 5-3 decision, dealt an immense blow to consumer interests. The court's recent ruling is going to lead to serious long term consequences for many individuals who should legally be able to join together and form a class. Writing for the majority opinion, Justice Scalia notes, "Antitrust laws do not guarantee an affordable procedural path to the vindication of every claim." Justice Scalia believes, along with the rest of the majority, that an arbitration clause in the contract trumps the right of a plaintiff to join a class-action suit and seek affordable and meaningful restitution. Typically and often, firms with extensive market power are able to leave consumers with no option but to accept lopsided arbitrations that are impractical and impervious. If a consumer wished to enter litigation against these behemothly large corporations, they would need to spend millions in legal fees only to see monetary rewards numbered in the thousands. The consequence of the decision by her conservative colleagues is excellently explained by Justice Kagan, "So if the arbitration clause is enforceable, Amex has insulated itself from antitrust liability—even if it has in fact violated the law." She goes on to explain, "The monopolist gets to use its monopoly power to insist on a contract effectively depriving its victims of all legal recourse." Now that the court has made it abundantly clear that they are going to unabashedly favor big business, even if it means allowing them to escape the grasps of Antitrust legislation that has been in place for decades, the only place the consumer can turn is to Congress.
A Win for Consumers in Mandatory Arbitration Cases: Recent Decision in Toyota Hybrid Brake Case Refuses to Follow Concepción When a Party is a Nonsignatory
On January 30, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the lower court's decision in the multidistrict Toyota Motor Corp. Hybrid Brake Marketing Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation, holding that the plaintiffs' consumer fraud claims against Toyota, relating to faulty brakes in 2010 Prius models and 2010 Lexus hybrid HS 250h models, were not subject to arbitration.
Citing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion—which overturned state laws that categorically preclude enforcement of class action waivers in certain arbitration agreements—Toyota moved to compel arbitration with the plaintiff car-buyers, based on an arbitration clause in the purchase agreements with their dealers. Toyota filed the motion only after failing in its effort to obtain dismissal of the plaintiffs' lawsuit on the merits. The district court, however, refused to order arbitration because Toyota was not a signatory to the purchase agreements. In other words, the district court said that the arbitration clause was limited to the plaintiffs and the dealerships, not Toyota.
On appeal, Toyota argued that even though it was a nonsignatory, plaintiffs should nevertheless be compelled to arbitrate their consumer fraud claims because the claims are intertwined with the purchase. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected this "equitable estoppel" argument, agreeing with the plaintiffs that their consumer fraud claims against Toyota, which relate to the faulty brakes in their vehicles, are not intertwined with the purchase agreements with the dealers, which dealt with matters of financing and insurance.
In particular, the Court of Appeals noted that no court would need to examine the purchase agreements in order to resolve the plaintiffs' claims. It also rejected Toyota's argument that a provision in the arbitration clauses required that the issue of whether the claims belong in arbitration be addressed, in the first instance, by an arbitrator rather than the district court, pointing out that Toyota could not rely on that jurisdictional clause because, as a non-signatory to the purchase agreements, it lacked standing to do so. Having rejected Toyota's contention that the plaintiffs' claims are intertwined with the agreements, the Court of Appeals saw no need to address the plaintiffs' alternative argument that, even if their claims were subject to arbitration, Toyota had forfeited any right to seek arbitration by playing a game of "heads-I-win/tails-you-lose" and filing its motion to compel arbitration only after failing in its bid to seek dismissal of the case on the merits.
Toyota marks a significant victory for consumers, especially in cases involving consumer fraud. This decision further signifies that the Supreme Court in Concepcion did not articulate a bright- line rule in deciding cases where mandatory arbitration clauses are in dispute. As we predicted in our previous blog, which examined Concepcion in detail, mandatory arbitration clauses will continue to be a hot-button issue in the courts and hopefully more cases like Toyota will arise giving more protection to consumers.
The case was argued before the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals by Seeger Weiss partner Diogenes P. Kekatos. The court's decision is published at 705 F.3d
How Companies Break the Law and Escape Liability Through Mandatory Arbitration Clauses
Supreme Court decisions are often puzzling. The Court's decision in AT&T Mobility v. Concepción is particularly baffling in the world of consumer rights law. In Concepción, Justice Antonin Scalia held that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which favors contractual arbitration clauses, preempts state consumer protection laws. Let's break down exactly what that means…
Concepción in a Nutshell
In Concepción, customers of AT&T brought a class action suit in a California district court alleging that AT&T's offer of a free phone for new cell phone customers was fraudulent because the customers actually had to pay sales tax on the "free"phone. AT&T argued that their cellphone contract with their customers contained a clause that provided for arbitration of all disputes and barred any class action lawsuit. Relying on California state law, however, the District Court found the arbitration clause unconscionable because it did not allow for class wide actions. The 9th circuit agreed, and held that the Federal Arbitration Act, which makes arbitration clauses enforceable, did not preempt the California state law. The case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal.
In a landmark decision, Justice Scalia, overturned the lower court's decision and held that the FAA preempts California's law regarding the unconscionability of arbitration waivers. Scalia's decision is momentous for two reasons. First, it limits a consumer's rights to take action against a company who breaks the law. Also, Scalia uses Congress's power and decides that the FAA, which clearly favors companies and disadvantages the consumer, trumps the California law which was enacted to protect consumers.
The Alliance for Justice Speaks Out
There are many reasons why arbitration agreements are unconscionable, and that's what makes the Court's decision so troubling. Alliance for Justice does a masterful job highlighting obvious instances where companies have broken the law, but have relied on Conceptión to escape liability by having their arbitration waivers enforced. The complete line of cases can be found here:http://www.afj.org/connect-with-the-issues/the-corporate-court/att-aftermath-stories.pdf.
Why Mandatory Arbitration Clauses Violate Consumers' Rights
- Arbitration clauses are often hidden in fine print and contain confusing language which the average consumer has trouble comprehending.
- Arbitration clauses are judicially inefficient. They require each consumer to go through the process of filling out paperwork and completing the necessary calls while foreclosing all class action proceedings. This process is difficult to comprehend (and time consuming!) for a consumer who has no legal training. Whereas, a class action suit allows for multiple consumers to bring a single action against a company and lets the attorney do the legal grunt work, not the consumer.
- Arbitration clauses allow companies to cheat and win. A company who violates the law and strategically adds an arbitration clause to its contract is allowed to settle disputes with individuals "behind closed doors." But class action suits are public knowledge, and settlements are widely reported in the main stream media. When the public knows companies cheat, companies are more likely to be deterred from continuing to break the law.
- Arbitration clauses create contracts of adhesion which are unreasonable because of the strong bargaining power that large companies possess. These "take it or leave it" deals further weaken the consumer's position at the time of sale.
What Concepción Means for the Future of Class Action Litigation
Mandatory arbitration clauses should continue to be a hot-button issue for the Supreme Court if articles like these continue to be published. There could be hope for the consumer and the future of class action lawsuits, despite the presence of a contractual arbitration clause, due to of the slim 5-4 ruling in Concepción. Perhaps the Court, in the future, might be swayed by Justice Breyer's dissent, where he asks this yet to be answered question:"Where does the majority get its contrary idea—that individual, rather than class, arbitration is a 'fundamental attribut[e]' of arbitration?" Consumers and class action attorneys, alike,hope that the Court will answer this question sooner than later (if at all).
Background Check Errors Prompt Talk of Further Legislation
Companies strive to hire honest employees with strong credentials. In an effort to make informed decisions, employers conduct background checks prior to hiring an employee. These background checks might examine a prospective employee's employment history, driving record, criminal records, and credit report.
Various laws have been enacted to ensure that the employee is protected throughout this process. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which protects a job applicant's information found in a credit report and ensures that the information is accurate. The extent to which an employer can legally analyze a job applicant's criminal history varies on a state-by-state basis. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars employers from using job-screening standards that have a disparate racial impact.
Despite these legal safeguards, job applicants are often treated unfairly during the employment hiring phase. Take, for instance, Green Mountain Coffee Co., who allegedly rejected job applicants after examining unauthorized consumer reports (per FCRA guidelines), which they obtained from a consumer-reporting agency. The Judge agreed to dismiss the suit after the parties resolved the dispute in an undisclosed nature. Another example is Dominoes, who also allegedly violated the FCRA by running employee background reports without proper authorization and by not sharing the reports with applicants and employees before terminating employees or denying job applicants of employment. The case is currently in litigation. LexisNexis agreed to settle their dispute for more than $1.3 million. The company was accused of failing to notify timely thousands of individuals about negative background reports because of a computer glitch. In light of these cases, it is fair to anticipate similar suits being filed in the near future.
When companies violate laws or make errors in the background check process, perfectly eligible candidates are denied jobs. Common mistakes include multiple reports of a single offense, the inclusion of convictions and arrests that were legally expunged, and even the inclusion of another person's criminal offenses. Job applicants can contest any mistake made by employers, but what happens when employers don't even share the information (like the alleged behavior of Dominoes)? Worse, even if a prospective applicant contests the mistake, the appeal process usually takes about thirty days. The position is often filled by the time the appeal process ends, and the candidate is left without a job even if the appeal succeeds.
As stories of companies acting negligently during employment background checks continue to brew, new legislation will continue to pass limiting the employer's access to job applicants' personal information. In May 2012, Vermont became the 8th state to restrict the use of credit reports for employment purposes claiming that the results of a credit report have "no correlation to job performance" and do not provide "meaningful insight into a candidate's character, responsibility, or prospective job performance." Vermont joined California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon and Washington to enact such a law. At the federal level, the EEOC is currently investigating the use of credit reports for employment purposes, but has yet to rule on the issue.
Employee Rights When Applying for a Job
It's become clear that legislative bodies are recognizing the risk of error associated with companies conducting employment background checks. Therefore, it is important that you know your rights when applying for a job.
First, the Fair Credit Reporting Act enables you to get a free copy of your credit report through each of three national credit reporting companies: TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. Each company must provide one free copy of your credit report every twelve months. It might be a good idea to have a current copy of your credit report for your reference before applying for a job.
Second, an employer must get your authorize before obtaining any credit information from third parties. You should probably get this authorization in writing.
Finally, if you have unfortunately been denied employment or had your employment terminated because of a failed background check, an employer must provide you with a written report of the information used to make their decision and a document called "A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act." You should carefully analyze the information used in their decision, and you have the right to contest any information you believe to be erroneous.
Background Check Lawsuits
Unfortunately, not all employers will follow the law when conducting employment background checks, and Green Mountain and Dominoes are only a sample of how companies might be acting negligently when making employment decisions. Sometimes it takes a legal proceeding to hold large companies accountable and provide employees with a voice to speak out against the wrongdoings associated with background check errors. As such, we are sure to see class action lawsuits develop against more companies
Let's See if the Supreme Court Means What it Says
Consumer and plaintiffs lawyers know that there have been a long string of cases where the Supreme Court has enforced arbitration clauses much to the detriment of consumers. In the course of doing that, though, the Court has always said that enforcing arbitration clauses won't cause any harm, because arbitration is a forum where anyone with a valid legal claim can be heard fairly. The Supreme Court has also maintained that arbitration is only acceptable where parties can "effectively vindicate their substantive rights."
In In re American Express Merchants Litigation, we'll learn if the Court actually MEANT any of those promises. This is the most important and most pro-consumer case involving a challenge to an arbitration clause that has come down in several years. In the case, a number of small business merchants brought a class action in court alleging that Amex is violating the Sherman Act with a Tying Arrangement (using its monopoly power over charge cards to force merchants to take all Amex-branded credit cards — and pay higher fees). AmEx moved to force the case into individual arbitration (with no class action possible). The plaintiffs PROVED, with admissible evidence that was never controverted, that it would be impossible for them to pursue their antitrust claims, in court or arbitration, if they had to go forward on an individual basis. It would cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars to prove their cases in each case, even though their claims are typically only worth about $5,000.
But AmEx, backed by the Chamber of Commerce, wants the Court to abandon the "effective vindication" doctrine, or more likely to re-define it in a way that would make it completely meaningless. They want the Supreme Court to enforce AmEx's arbitration clause, and class action ban, even though it means that small business plaintiffs will lose all their substantive rights under the antitrust laws.
We support the efforts of organizations such as Public Justice which filed an amicus brief objecting to AmEx's radical position. The brief explains that if the Court severs the link between arbitration and the opportunity to be heard and obtain justice, then statutes that Congress enacted to protect consumers, small businesses, and workers from more powerful corporations will be gutted. As the brief explains, AmEx's proposal would change the underlying statute from the Federal Arbitration Act to the Federal Corporate Immunity Act, and would rob it of its legitimacy."

Guide to Filing a Hip Replacement Lawsuit
According to The New York Times, an estimated 500,000 individuals have undergone a surgery involving a metal-on-metal hip implant. A quality hip implant is usually expected to last for approximately 15 to 20 years, depending on the patient's activity level, fitness level and general health.
Many hip replacement patients, however, find that their implants begin to show signs of failure in a matter of a few short years. These patients have begun pursuing legal action against the manufacturers of these defected implants, but they need to first equip themselves with the necessary information before heading to court.
How to Find Out if You Have Been Affected by a Defective Hip Implant
The majority of hip implant patients have become accustomed to chronic pain and stiffness over the course of many years. In fact, these two symptoms are the most commonly cited reasons for the decision to have hip implant surgery in the first place. Unfortunately for many hip implant patients, the familiar pain associated with hip problems before the surgery may never actually improve, particularly if the implant used is defective.
Symptoms of a potentially defective or dangerous hip implant include:
- Noticeable swelling that does not respond to anti-inflammatory medications
- Unusual warmth in the area surrounding the implant
- Difficulty when walking, bending, sitting down or getting up
- Pain and stiffness that do not go away with proper medication and rest
Complications that arise from a defective hip implant may grow to be incredibly serious when not addressed in a timely manner. Corrosion of metal-on-metal components in an implant can allow minute particles of metal into the blood stream and into the tissue at the implant site. Severe cases can lead to tissue death around the implant, dangerously high levels of cobalt and chromium in the blood, and substantial bone loss.
List of Recalled Hip Implants
All hip replacement and hip surgery patients are strongly encouraged to consult their surgeons and medical records to determine what type of device was used during their procedure. Though many surgeons are able to reach their patients with relevant recall information relatively quickly after the information has been made available to them, not all patients are made aware of the potential danger they face. The following is a list of some recalled hip implants over recent years:
- DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System
- DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System
- Stryker Orthopaedics Rejuvenate Modular Neck Stem
- Stryker Orthopaedics ABG II Modular Neck Stem
- Smith & Nephew R3 Metal-on-Metal Liner
If you or a loved one have undergone hip surgery and have suffered adverse effects because of the type of implant used, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit concerning defective implants varies from state to state, so quick and decisive action is strongly recommended.
A product injury lawyer is a legal professional with experience in pursuing financial compensation for injuries or death caused by faulty products. Your attorney will help you make the important decisions regarding your case from start to finish, as well as make sure that you are awarded a fair amount of money for your pain, suffering and medical expenses. Don't allow multi-billion dollar businesses to take advantage of you in your time of need. Even if you have not yet begun to experience side effects associated with your hip implant, it is important to obtain a legal consult immediately in order to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.
Types of Hip Implants and Types of Hip Replacement Procedures
Total hip replacements are performed to treat a variety of conditions affecting the hip joint, including degenerative joint disease, arthritis, congenital hip dysplasia, and physical trauma. Hip ailments are more common in elderly people, but younger people can suffer from these conditions as well. Besides various diseases of the joints, physical trauma usually occurs due to falls, auto accidents, or other acute injuries.
The hip is a ball and socket joint. The hip bone itself has a rounded gap, or socket, which the rounded ball of the femur, or thigh bone, fits into. This type of joint has a lot of flexibility as the joint can swivel in any direction. This is why hips can bend in more directions than knees or elbows, for example. It also makes broken hips particularly difficult to heal, which is why surgical intervention is sometimes necessary to promote mobility.
Types of Hip Implants
- Metal on polyethylene implants. This is the most common type of implant. In this method, both the ball and socket portions of the joint are removed and replaced with a metal prosthesis. A polyethylene spacer is then placed between them. The metal used is usually titanium-aluminum, stainless steel or cobalt-chrome. These implants do wear down over time, so subsequent replacements may be necessary in patients who live a long time post-surgery. A relatively new type of polyethylene is quite popular now due to its strength and durability. These new implants rely on a wear-resistant type of plastic that is manufactured to be stronger than regular polyethylene. Because these implants are new, long-term studies have not been completed to determine whether they will truly wear down more slowly than other types of implants
- Metal on metal implants. These work similarly to the above type, but there is no plastic spacer between the metal elements. This reduces the amount of wear that the artificial hip takes, but it does pose a potential risk to patients due to the release of metal ions into the patient's bloodstream.
- Ceramic on ceramic implants. These implants use ceramic pieces for the ball and socket portions of the joint. Ceramic is much less prone to wear than metal or plastic, but it can be brittle and prone to breaking.
Regardless of the materials used, the implant will generally be held in place with a special type of medical cement. It may also be wedged into place without cement so that the bone can heal over the implant and hold it in place.
Types of Hip Replacement Procedures
Surgeons utilize a variety of surgical options to address pain experienced by patients suffering from diseases of the hip joints. These options include total hip replacements where an artificial ball, socket, and stem is implanted into the joint to replace the existing diseased or damaged bone. Surgeons may also perform a total hip resurfacing where an artificial ball and socket is implanted, but the stem is very short in length and does not penetrate deep into the femoral bone. A resurfacing procedure is generally less invasive than a total hip replacement. Surgeons may also perform a partial hip replacement, also known as a hemi-arthroplasty, in which only the ball is replaced with an artificial implant. For physical trauma, depending on the extent of an injury, a broken hip can sometimes be healed naturally by limiting a patient's movement. More serious injuries may require surgical intervention.
A traditional hip replacement surgery requires an incision through either upper thigh or buttocks of the patient. Less-invasive techniques use smaller incisions and specialized instruments to complete the procedure. Regardless of the procedure completed or the materials used, a hip replacement surgery takes time and therapy to recover from. Some complications can arise if the new hip does not form a strong attachment to the existing bone. The patient may also continue to experience pain in the joint long after recovery is over. Fortunately, as technology improves, hip replacement surgeries become more effective.
Information on the recall of Stryker hip implants
Stryker Medical Company Lawsuits and Recalls
Stryker is a prominent medical device and orthopedic product manufacturer that supplies hip implants, knee implants and surgical equipment used at major medical centers. Over the past several years, some of Stryker's products have been recalled due to defects in their design or construction which have resulted in devastating injuries. These defects can make medical products unsafe for their intended use. Under product liability law, a manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that its products meet safety standards and do not pose a threat to consumers. Manufacturers are also responsible for warning patients of the risks associated with their products.
Here are a few of the major lawsuits and recalls that have affected Stryker and unsuspecting consumers across the country.
The Stryker Neptune Waste Management System
Stryker issued an urgent Class I recall for its Neptune series of waste management systems. This recall was issued on June 8, 2012, after the company received reports of serious and fatal injuries. These systems collect fluids during surgery by using a vacuum-like apparatus. When operated at high-pressure, the device can cause serious tissue damage, organ damage and fatal complications. This recall covered all six waste management models in the Neptune series. Stryker is facing a growing number of product liability lawsuits for injuries caused by these dangerous devices. Investigations show that these systems were not approved by the FDA and were not labeled properly.
Stryker Ceramic Hip Recall
In January 2008, Stryker voluntarily recalled its ceramic Trident Acetabular PSL Cup and Trident Hemispherical Cup implants. Stryker's Trident hip implants were recalled due to contamination at a manufacturing plant. These particular ceramic hip implants were prone to premature failure. A number of patients reported embarrassing squeaking and popping noises during normal activities. These issues are related to ceramic fragments, hip fractures and the loosening of components. Patients who were affected by faulty Trident hip implants are still coming forward, and more lawsuits are being filed.
Stryker Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants
On July 6, 2012, Stryker voluntarily recalled its ABG II and Rejuvenate modular neck stems that are used in hip replacement surgeries. The first product liability lawsuit alleging problems with the ABG II and Rejuvenate neck stems was filed on August 7, 2012. An increased risk of corrosion and metal poisoning were cited as the reasons for the recall. Stryker admitted that the systems were prone to wear and tear near the neck junction. These problems may cause pain, swelling and adverse local tissue reactions. If left untreated, these conditions can lead to aseptic loosening and sepsis.
More than 50,000 defective implants were sold before the recall, and people have begun to file suit. These plaintiffs are requesting a case consolidation that would allow patients from Arizona, Florida, Minnesota and New Jersey to move their cases to New Jersey's Bergen County Superior Court where they will receive individual trials and settlements. This venue was requested due to the proximity to the Stryker headquarters.
Non-Compliance Warnings
Since 2007, Stryker has received several urgent warnings and complaints from the FDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These citations were for failing to test problematic devices and for failing to fix the defects. The company also received multiple contamination warnings. Sterile medical implants were allegedly cleaned and packed in unsanitary areas where microbes exceeded allowable levels.
Between 2007 and 2008, Stryker, DePuy, Zimmer, Smith & Nephew and a host of high-profile orthopedic manufacturers were sued by the Department of Health for engaging in unfair sales strategies and offering unlawful kickbacks to surgeons who directed hospitals to purchase their orthopedic implants and other devices. The FDA has noted several serious design flaws and sterilization issues associated with Stryker's surgical implements and orthopedic implants. Problems with Stryker's Duracon, Scorpio and EIUS Unicompartmental Knee Implants have lead to more recalls and lawsuits.
Product liability issues are particularly dangerous when medical devices are involved. Due to the implications of defective medical devices, patients can often sue to recover medical expenses and punitive damages. Victims might also be eligible to request compensatory damages for pain, suffering and loss of consortium.
Stryker Hip Implant Lawsuit: ABG II and Rejuvenate
Stryker Orthopaedics Corporation has issued a voluntary recall on its Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II Modular Neck Stems after post-distribution reports were issued stating that these implants are susceptible to corrosion and/or fretting, which can lead to metallosis, adverse local tissue reactions, and pseudotumors.
Arthroplasty, also known as a hip replacement, is the replacement of the diseased or deteriorated hip joints with a prosthesis to relieve pain and increase mobility and function in the hip. The Stryker Rejuvenate system is a device with a stem and neck designed to replace the patient's hip by providing a mechanism that allows the joint to pivot as it would naturally. The Stryker ABG II Modular Neck Stem is a product designed to reconstruct the hip joint area by attaching inside the femur and coming out to connect with the hip.
Hip Replacement Risk
Standard risk to patients who receive hip replacements include decrease of bone mass or bone loss, nerve damage, uneven leg length, stiffness, and decrease in immune system function. Revision surgery is usually warranted in cases where the patient is experiencing post-surgical issues such as metal sensitivity, loosening of the implant, audible sounds from the area during movement and general wear over time.
Metal-On-Metal Implants
When metal pieces in hip implants constantly rub against each other, corrosion occurs. Unlike true metal-on-metal devices where the ball and socket are both made of metal components, both the AGB II and Rejuvenate products had metal stems and metal necks that rub together in a way similar to how the ball and socket devices do.
When corrosion or fretting occurs in metal hip implants made with cobalt and chromium metals, such as the Stryker Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II Modular Neck Stems, the patient can develop metallosis, a condition where metal debris collects in the soft tissues. This can cause inflammation and swelling, as well as destroy the otherwise healthy tissue surrounding the implant site. With deterioration of the tissue, the implant may become misaligned, causing severe pain, infection, swelling, and dislocations These complications can eventually necessitate a revision surgery.
Product Failure
While hip replacements are designed to withstand up to fifteen years of use, both the ABG II and Rejuvenate replacements began showing signs of failure after several months. This caused excessive post-surgical pain that required revision surgery in some patients.
If metallosis exists, inflammation and swelling of the area around the implant could occur, with some cases of pseudotumors and fluid in the joint. Tissue damage from metallosis can present as a rash in the affected area. An often overlooked sign of metallosis is extreme pain, which many patients dismiss as after-effects of the replacement. Metallosis can also cause the levels of cobalt and chromium metals in your blood to elevate. In some cases, this elevation of metal levels can be toxic and cause many systemic illnesses.
Further side-effects of metallosis include the following:
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Recurring infections
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Malaise
- Emotional imbalance
Patients who have either the Rejuvenate Modular or ABG II Modular Neck Stems should contact their doctor immediately. While not every patient who received Stryker's ABG II or Rejuvenate products have experienced symptoms of metallosis or product failure, all ABG II or Rejuvenate recipients should contact their doctor.

Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) met with area business owners, community leaders and public servants last week, to talk about the state of Washington politics, as well as his new position as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
McCaul stopped in on his way to meet with Gov. Rick Perry in Houston.
McCaul started off the meeting by telling members that the infighting between the two parties is due to one side being stuck in perpetual campaign mode, instead of governing. His specific target was President Obama.
"He is in a mode where he says let's talk about immigration reform, let's talk about everything but the economy," McCaul said. "He's in campaign mode."
McCaul told the audience that despite his position on the Homeland Security Committee, he hasn't been invited to the White House for meetings once.
"No attempt, despite all the talk about coming together," he said.
McCaul focused a lot of his criticism on the White House and Democrats in the Senate not passing a budget in the last four years; instead they have relied on continuing resolutions just to keep the government running.
"Four years without a budget," he said. "It's one of the most irresponsible things I have ever seen."
He also said that the recent Presidential election was about scaring voters, rather than talking about tough budgetary decisions that need to be made.
"This president won the election pandering to people that receive entitlement benefits," he said. "He was scaring the hell out of people."
McCaul said that Obama's recent attempts to demonize Republicans in the eyes of the voters don't help solve the problems facing the nation.
"We all agree that there needs to be a safety net, that we need to help those less fortunate, but it shouldn't be permanent," he said.
"Greece. That's where we are headed if we don't change our way," he added, referring to the debt riddled nation with a struggling economy.
McCaul went on to talk about his ascension to the chairman's seat of the Homeland Security Committee.
The Congressman went on to say there are numerous things he currently disagrees with the Obama administration on, specifically naming the Benghazi attacks and al-Qaeda's presence in Africa.
(The Obama administration's) narrative is that the al-Qaeda threat is over," McCaul said. "The African theater proves it is not."
McCaul said that al-Qaeda has seen resurgence since the Arab Spring uprising in North Africa, raising money and securing weapons.
"Al-Qaeda has reconstituted in North Africa, raised $100 million and grabbed arms caches from Libya, so we need to make sure that stays over there," he said. "These are serious weapons when compared to what they or the Taliban possessed."
Another concern of McCaul's are the recent calls from the Arab world to release Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, otherwise known as the Blind Sheik, who was convicted and jailed in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. McCaul said the fact that the United States has imprisoned Rahman, combined with recent al-Qaeda chatter promising "shocking" attacks in the U.S., is a big concern to him and members of his committee.
When it comes to the Benghazi attacks, McCaul said he has a hard time reconciling the stories presented by the White House and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with other accounts presented about the attack that killed a U.S. ambassador.
"I brought up a classified security document that was sent to (Clinton's) office and she admitted that she never saw it, her staff never saw it – well, who saw it?" he said.
CAIRO (AP) — Ambassador Chris Stevens was still breathing when Libyans stumbled across him inside a room in the American Consulate in Benghazi, pulled him out and drove him to a hospital after last week's deadly attack in the eastern Libyan city, witnesses told The Associated Press on Monday.
Fahd al-Bakoush, a freelance videographer, was among the Libyan civilians searching through the consulate after gunmen and protesters rampaged through it last Tuesday night. Al-Bakoush said he heard someone call out that he had tripped over a dead body.
A group of people gathered as several men pulled the seemingly lifeless form from the room. They saw he was alive and a foreigner, though no one recognized him as Stevens, al-Bakoush said.
He was breathing and his eyelids flickered, he said. "I tested his pulse and he was alive," he said "No doubt. His face was blackened and he was like a paralyzed person."
Video taken by al-Bakoush and posted on YouTube shows Stevens being carried out of a small dark room through a window with a raised shutter and being laid on the floor. One man touches his neck to feel for a pulse. Some of the men shout, "God is great."
The video has been authenticated since Stevens' face is clearly visible and he is wearing the same white t-shirt seen in authenticated photos of him being carried away one another man's shoulders, presumably moments later. Two colleagues of al-Bakoush who also witnessed the scene confirmed that he took the footage.
Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack on the consulate, part of a wave of assaults on U.S. diplomatic missions in Muslim countries over a low-budget movie made in the United daStates that denigrates the Prophet Muhammad.
The accounts of all three witnesses mesh with that of the doctor who treated Stevens that night. Last week, the doctor told The Associated Press that Stevens was nearly lifeless when he was brought by Libyans, with no other Americans around, to the Benghazi hospital where he worked. He said Stevens had severe asphyxia from the smoke and that he tried to resuscitate him with no success. Only later did security officials confirm it was Stevens.
A freelance photographer who was with al-Bakoush at the scene, Abdel-Qader Fadl, said Stevens was unconscious and "maybe moved his head, but only once."
Ahmed Shams, a 22-year-old arts student who works with the two, said the group cried out "God is great" in celebration after discovering he wasn't dead. "We were happy to see him alive. The youth tried to rescue him. But there was no security, no ambulances, nothing to help," he said.
The men carried Stevens to a private car to drive him to the hospital since there was no ambulance, all three witnesses said.

It was nearly a year ago when President Barack Obama snidely suggested that his foreign policy was superior to other viewpoints, by answering "ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top al Qaeda leaders who have been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement" during a press conference.
Ahh yes. The playground answer.
Fine. I'll go with that.
Mr. President, you should ask Ambassador Chris Stevens whether your foreign policy decisions are correct.
Ask our soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors -- since they have had to mourn twice as many deaths in Afghanistan since you took office.
Ask those of us in the media who are force fed your half-truths and talking points, instead of real answers to hard questions.
I am tired of the President of the United States acting like he is the uniter of the world.
Pardon me Mr. President, but I am a citizen of the United States, not the world. Just look at my birth certificate. (Note: This is called sarcasm.)
Should we seek peace and prosperity around the world? Yes. Should we do it at the expense of America and her citizens? I answer that with a profound no.
It's not just your poorly thought out foreign policy that draws my ire. At home your policies have failed us too.
Gas prices have doubled since you took the oath of office.
Unemployment still hovers above eight percent and that's just the fudged partisan numbers from your friendly little labor department.
In some states, median incomes are at the lowest level since the Great Depression.
I could go on typing all of your failures Mr. President, but that may cause carpal tunnel and since you passed the healthcare bill, insurance companies have had enough time to find out what is in it. My deductibles are now too high for that.
Suffice it to say I won't be voting for you this year sir. Don't take it personal, it's just that I'm from the Show-me State and well, you haven't shown me a thing.
The only thrill up my leg I plan on getting soon is the one when I see you board Air Force One next Jan. 20, headed for Chicago and the arms of Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

A Tomball woman was convicted of Intoxication Manslaughter by a Montgomery County jury, in a rare case involving legal prescription drugs.
Sherri Lorene Holloway, 31, was sentenced to 12 years in state prison following her conviction. The case stemmed from a crash on SH 105 in February of 2011, where Holloway crossed the center line, hitting a white Chevrolet van, killing its driver, Kenneth Buffington. Prosecutors said he was killed almost instantly, due to the force of the crash.
Holloway was seriously injured in the crash and sent by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Witnesses said Holloway's vehicle was weaving erratically before the crash, even causing a tractor-trailer to have to leave the roadway to avoid her, so State Trooper Eric Lopez obtained a blood sample from Holloway at the hospital. He was also given a baggie with numerous pills that hospital staff found on her.
Lab results showed that Holloway had a combination of valium, soma and hydrocodone in her system at the time the sample was taken.
After hearing testimony from forensic experts and witnesses to the crash, jurors took less than 10 minutes to convict her of the crime.
During the punishment phase prosecutors were able to enter evidence of another crash involving Holloway, which injured Tomball police officers Cpt. Rick Grassi and Sgt. Rebecca Carlisle.
Prosecutors said that in May of 2010, Holloway hit theTomball police officers in a police vehicle on FM 2978, while they were on their way to a police funeral in Conroe. Both officers were injured in the crash. She was allegedly under the influence of the same drugs when that crash occurred.
The 12-year sentence means that Holloway must serve at least half of that before she is eligible for parole. She will be credited with time served already in the Montgomery County Jail, meaning she will possibly have to serve less than five years in state prison.

Life with Dystonia
By Ellen L. Weisberg, PhD
Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder, next to Parkinson's disease and Tremor, affecting at least 300,000 people in North America. It is a neurological condition that results in sustained and involuntary contractions of opposing muscles, which leads to spasmodic movements, twisting, and abnormal stances. Like Parkinson's disease, dystonia is believed to be due to an abnormality in the basal ganglia of the brain, where movement is controlled.
The symptoms of dystonia first surfaced when I was in the middle of a radio shift, getting ready to record what I thought would be another effortless 30-second broadcast in a string of reports. Halfway through it, the left side of my mouth started twisting inward, making it difficult for me to talk. At the time, I remember wondering if there was something with my delivery style that had- over time- become subtly different… Was my chair too high or too low and I was straining my neck to get to the microphone? Did it have to do with the amount of gesturing I was doing with my hands when I talked?
As time went on, though, the difficulties I was having with my broadcasting increased, and getting the job done comfortably and in a timely fashion was becoming more and more of a struggle. My coworkers thought that maybe I was having sudden "stage fright," or that it was simply stress that was causing this, since my conversational speech away from the microphone seemed normal. It was only when I saw a neurologist that the situation became clearer: I was diagnosed with a "focal dystonia," which targets a specific part of the body and usually afflicts people at mid-life. My condition, "task- specific oromandibular dystonia," causes the jaw to either be clamped shut or held open and is brought on at least in part by repetitive movements. I had been doing two and a half years of daily broadcasting for hours on end, repeating similar phrases and articulating in a way that was different from my regular, away-from-the-microphone speech. I tried to return to broadcasting several times when the symptoms of the dystonia had temporarily quieted down, only to have to quit again when the condition would relapse. The symptoms eventually slipped over into my conversational speech, and there were times they were so debilitating that I thought I'd never be able to hold a normal conversation again.
I had consulted a second neurologist who prescribed Artane, an anticholinergic agent that improves muscle control in Parkinson's patients. After a brief honeymoon, "fool's gold"-kind of experience with the drug that lasted only a few days during which my speech seemed more effortless, the Artane lost its effects. My neurologist also tried administering Botox injections on the side of my mouth where muscles were twisting in such a way as to make speaking difficult. However, it was shortly after the injections that the condition relapsed to the point where I could barely talk at all. Continuing...

MTV's "Savage County" began life as a web series, and feels like it for every agonizing, disjointed, no-frills minute.
Based on the video game franchise, the live-action "Tekken" debuts Tuesday on Blu-ray and DVD. It's directed by Dwight Little, whose work includes such films as "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers," "Marked for Death" with Steven Seagal, "Rapid Fire" with Brandon Lee, "Murder at 1600" with Wesley Snipes and "The Phantom of the Opera" with Robert Englund.
R&R: It's been a while since you've done a feature film. You've been working a lot in TV, so why "Tekken"? What brought you back?
Little: It was a chance to re-collaborate with Alan McElroy, the screenwriter, who I did "Halloween 4" and "Rapid Fire" with, and he and I have a great, common creative interest and rapport. I thought the "Tekken" world was a great platform for a martial arts movie. I had some success with "Marked for Death" and "Rapid Fire," and it looked like it was in my area of expertise.
R&R: Were you familiar with the games?
Little: Only in sort of a passing way. I wasn't like a hardcore player, but my two boys are into it, so I get into vicariously. There was a mythology about the family and the Tekken corporation I got inspired by, like you get inspired by a short story or a novel. I also love the ever-changing, interactive fight designs — those were so visually interesting to me. I thought it'd be a way to freshen up the genre of a martial arts action movie.
R&R: Did you approach it any different because it was a video game first?
Little: You look at the existing source material and find the thing that makes you passionate or gets you excited. I made the movie like I would make "Rocky" or "Gladiator" — the goal is to make a good movie, not a good video game. You have to commit to the characters to keep viewers actively committed to the story. Poppy visuals are not going to do it for 100 minutes. Alan and I said, "You know what? Jin and his devil wings, and the boxing kangaroo — let's leave that for a CGI or an anime movie. Let's leave these heavy supernatural items on the table."
R&R: Obviously, you were invested in it, so are you disappointed its theatrical release was so small?
Little: Sure, but that reflects the world we live in. This movie, made 10 years ago, obviously would have been released on 2,000 screens. To market and release a movie now nationally is a $35-to-$40-million commitment in marketing. "Iron Man" and those movies can support that, but there's only seven distributors now, effectively. The way that smaller movies come to the marketplace in an era of a digital world — it's exactly the same as the music business. Our world is changing so fast, but "Tekken" will be platformed on Blu-ray, on Redbox, on iTunes, on VOD and Netflix and pay-per-view, and that's how movies go into the world unless it's Warner Bros. and they have that massive marketing muscle. —Rod Lott

Q What causes dark undereye circles, and can anything be done about them?
A The usual suspects—sun damage, age, and genetics—can cause them, but there's also a lesser-known culprit: inflammation, says dermatologist Nelson Lee Novick, of Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Inflammation from allergies, a lack of sleep, or eye-rubbing can cause undereye blood vessels to become dilated or clogged. Also, age can thin undereye skin, making underlying blood vessels more visible; sun can darken skin; and genetics can make you more predisposed to it all.
As usual, prevention is the best medicine. Get plenty of sleep, and elevate your head with two pillows. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVB rays can darken circles), and sunglasses that filter both UVA and UVB.
But if these strategies don't help, you do have options other than a good concealer. New studies have shown that a topical therapy combining vitamin K with retinol can help. "After 16 weeks, a computer measured 70 percent reduction in subjects' undereye discoloration," says dermatologist Mel Elson of Burns, Tennessee, who has studied the vitamin combo. Products that contain sufficient amounts of the vitamins, he says, include Vita-Cap Dark Circle Eye Serum from Esteem by Naomi Judd, and Lumineyes by Mary Kay.

Kid's are wild. You know this, we know this. That's why we made the Raith WP Kid's. It's got enough performance features to keep up with the most active kid's, and all of the durability that those kid's require.
T.I.D.E. GRIP- Non-marking Durabrasion Rubber™ outsole for durable traction
- Our T.I.D.E. Seal waterproof membrane will keep feet dry.
- Synthetic leather and mesh upper
- EVA footbed for cushioning
- Quick lace lacing system for easy on/off
You don't want to bring a knife to a gunfight, but you also don't want to bring a gun to a pillow fight (that would just be weird). Our Durabrasion Rubber gives you a solid balance of performance and durability without being overkill for everyday activities.
T.I.D.E Seal™
The best way to make sure your feet dry quickly? Make sure they don't get wet in the first place. T.I.D.E Seal membranes will seal out the water (get it?) and keep you high and dry.

Comments about Raith WP:
My son loves Teva shoes! He first was introduced to them when he saw one of his friends wearing a pair and he made me go out and get him a pair. He loves that he doesn't have to mess with lacing them early in the morning when he is tired and no so awake, and he loves the comfort.
He absolutely wears them almost everyday. I think he would wear them to bed if I let him....lol.
I like that he likes them enough to take care of them too. He makes sure he keeps them in good shape and clean because they are his favorite! And that is good news for me. Teva is a favorite in our house! Now if they would make a formal shoe, I would be all set!
- Wear like iron

Comments about Raith WP:
Used as school uniform shoes for 6 yr. old boy. Lasted all year! Toggle laces great also.
Comments about Raith WP:
After trying on a whole slew of shoes, my son insisted that nothing was as comfortable as Tevas. While I would normally be very reluctant to buy shoes online for a child, his shoes were true to size and he has been wearing them everyday since they came out of the box.
Hopefully, because they are winter shoes and worn with socks, we will not encounter the smell issues we had with his summer sandals.

- Raith WP
I bought my son new asics sneakers a few a weeks ago. Asics because of the arch support that does not exist in most boys sneakers. Well new sneakers are now old sneakers because he kills them in no time. Laces are always undone and frayed and top part is filthy along with his socks because sand and water seeps in. He plays hard and is the type of kid that goes thru the puddle. At school he's usually playing soccer or in the sand pile. I think the Raith work well for him. Am I right?Asked on 11/24/2012 by Spunky from Palm Harbor, FL1 answer
This is a durable, waterproof shoe that features a quick-lace system that stays put. This is a great choice for the active kid.Answered on 11/26/2012 by Teva Product Specialist

Plus Model Magazine
Just a quick post to let you guys know I'm in this month's issue of Plus Model Magazine! I'm so honored to share the cover with Nicolette Mason! We had a blast on set, and I want to thank Plus Model Mag for continuously showcasing models size 18 and up, proving that style and beauty are not limited by size. So many mainstream magazines attempt to show they embrace women of all sizes with editorials featuring size 10 models. While I am not knocking them (I love body diversity in mags!), I do think PMM is amazing for taking chances with true plus size bodies. When was the last time you saw a size 20 woman in a mesh body suit in mainstream media? Make sure you go to plusmodelmag.com to see the rest of the photos and the entire issue!
