AHA+ is a lightweight yet moisturizing AHA exfoliant that contains 10% AHA formulated at an effective pH of 4.
This is a very good water-soluble cleanser whose silky texture and low-lathering formula is suitable for all skin types, break
Add to Faves?
Strengths: Inexpensive, effective formulas, most of which are fragrance-free; some of the products come in a variety of sizes, including travel sizes; good water-soluble cleanser; good AHA exfoliant; simple but effective benzoyl peroxide treatment; an intriguing anti-acne line for those with sensitive skin.
Weaknesses: No BHA exfoliants (while AHA can help improve breakouts, BHA, also known as salicylic acid, is preferred).
The Acne.org product line and website is a labor of love from Daniel Kern, a resourceful guy who struggled for years with acne before finally, through much trial and error (sound familiar?), finding what worked for him. He decided to share his story online so others struggling with acne would have a place to ask him questions, talk about their failures and successes with battling breakouts, post reviews of products they've tried, and boost each other's self-esteem—which often takes a nosedive when persistent acne shows up.
After years of personal experimentation to get his own acne under control, Kern developed what he refers to as The Regimen. This is a 3-step system for treating acne that involves gentle cleansing, disinfecting with a benzoyl peroxide product, and applying a moisturizer.
The entire 3-step routine is super-detailed, so be prepared to read, re-read, and study the routine's charts and images carefully before doing this, assuming you choose to follow it. One thing is certain: This is a routine that won't get you out the door in a few minutes-- however, many who've adapted to it feel strongly that it's worth it, and we're not going to debate that when clear skin is the result.
Do you need to follow The Regimen to get great results with these products? No, and if you choose to follow The Regimen you do not need to use Kern's Acne.org products—something he makes clear on his site. Although Kern shares some good tips and helpful guidelines, much of his info is rooted in personal experience rather than scientific research. Also, when it comes to acne, there's more than one way to treat it—as most people with acne have likely come to discover. Kern's Regimen is merely one more method to try.
We're surprised that the Acne.org line doesn't offer a BHA exfoliant, because BHA (salicylic acid) has mounds of research proving it's an important, if not crucial, ingredient for battling blemishes (not to mention redness, blackheads, white bumps and red marks from acne). Instead, Acne.org sells an AHA exfoliant, which can be an option but many will have even greater results using a BHA exfoliant or at least alternating between the two if you like how Kern's AHA product makes your skin feel.
Overall, although the Acne.org regimen isn't as complete or as simple it may seem, most of the products are worth considering, and they're affordable, too. Kern wisely avoids the use of fragrance or common irritants found in so many anti-acne products. Like us, we imagine Kern has wondered more than once why so many products claiming to improve acne only contain ingredients destined to make the redness, pain, and inflammation of acne worse, not better.
We're thrilled to say that Kern's products, while not perfect (but then again, no anti-acne routine will work the same for everyone), are considerably better than almost every other anti-acne line out there. It's sad that there are so few truly effective (or at least strong potential to be effective) anti-acne products available, but you can add those from Acne.org to the short list of winners!

By ALICE WADLEYEmery County Progress
In 1954 SSgt. Paul Sersland was traveling from Los Angeles, Calif. to Birmingham, Ala. to make repairs on a B-25 bomber. Over the Grand Canyon the plane began to experience problems and Sersland talked with the Lord and told him he didn't need to fly anymore if he got him through the ordeal.
That was the last time Sersland flew in an airplane until Monday, when he had an opportunity to fly in a B-17 Flying Fortress. Sersland, who now lives in Layton, is a World War II veteran and was a waist gunner on a B-17 bomber. He was a member of the 303rd Bomb Group and the 360th Bomb Squadron stationed at RAF Molesworth. The 303rd was better know as the Hell's Angels. The Hell's Angels was one of the first B-17 units in England. They were the first group to complete 25 combat missions in June, 1943, going on to complete 364 total combat missions, more than any other group.
Sersland himself completed a total of 35 combat missions during his time as a waist gunner.
Sersland enlisted in the Army Air Core as a cadet when he was 18 years old. He volunteered to serve as a crew member on a B-17. When he got to the barracks he noticed many of the bunks were empty. He asked why. The airman who gave him the tour replied "they finished their mission but it depends on what you call home". This made him nervous, seven out of the 12 planes that were assigned to Sersland's unit went down during the war.
Sersland said the B-17 was the best plane during the war. It could take punishment, carry a large payload and bring its crew back alive. When asked what his scariest experience was Sersland told of the time when his crew was flying a combat mission and their number one engine got hit and was vibrating violently. The crew tried to feather the prop, but they were unsuccessful. The right aileron was blown off and gas was coming out of the right wing. The oil pressure on the plane continued to drop and the plane had to fall out of formation. When a plane dropped out of formation it was vulnerable to enemy attack. Somehow, the pilot was able to land the plane and the crew was able to survive.
Today Sersland and another crew member are the only living survivors of the B-17 crew that he served with during the war.
On Monday, Sersland and his son-in-law, Jerry Cottrell got to go on a B-17 flight in West Jordan together. They sat in the radio control area. Sersland said on some missions he had to man both waist guns.
The flight lasted approximately 30 minutes. Passengers were able to walk through the aircraft and take a look at all of the crew positions. This short flight gave only a sample of what it was like to fly on a B-17 during the war. After the flight Sersland kissed the ground.
The flight was made possible by the Liberty Foundation. The Liberty Foundation's B-17 "Memphis Belle" is one of only 13 B-17's that still fly today. The B-17 dubbed the "Flying Fortress" as a result of her defensive fire power and stout construction, saw action in every theater of operation during World War II. The majority of all B-17s were operated by the 8th Airforce in Europe and participated in countless missions from bases in England deep into enemy territory.
There were 12,732 B-17s produced between 1935 and 1945, of these 4,735 were lost in combat. Following the war, B-17s saw combat in three more wars; Korea, Israel used them in the war of 1948, and they were even used during Vietnam.
The "Memphis Belle" was built toward the end of the war and never saw any combat. It is painted in the colors and nose art of the original historic "Memphis Belle" B-17 that flew countless missions with the 91st bomb group of the 8th Airforce, and was the first B-17 to complete 25 missions.
The Liberty Foundation's B-17 has an interesting postwar history. Sold surplus to National Metals Co. of Phoenix, Ariz. for the sum of $2,687 and then sold to Fast Way Air of Long Beach, Calif. In 1960 she was converted to a water bomber and operated as Tanker 78 until the late 1970s. The plane was then purchased by the Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation (MARC) in 1982. MARC, was started by David Tallichet, a wartime B-17 pilot with the 100th bomb group. He and his staff restored the B-17G to resemble a B-17F model. The restoration included reinstallation of power turrets, early tail gunners compartment, early Sperry dorsal turret recovered from a south Pacific wreck and adding a 91st BG paint scheme
In 1989, N3703G was hired for use in the filming of the Memphis Belle movie in England. In July 1989 she crossed the Atlantic with another B-17 to participate in the filming of the movie. Since returning to the U.S. the plane has continued in the paint scheme of the "Memphis Belle."
The Liberty Foundation's B-17 provides visitors the opportunity to take a step back in time and gain respect for the men and women who gave so much to protect freedom. At each stop, flight "missions" are available in the Memphis Belle, which allow people to take flights in this historic aircraft. During flight operations, there is a designated, secure area for those who would like to watch the aircraft flights at no charge.
For enthusiasts that choose to take a flight experience on the aircraft, these participants receive a pre-flight safety briefing containing the historical significance of the aircraft and a spectacular scenic air tour around the Salt Lake Valley. During the flight, passengers enjoy the unique opportunity of moving about the aircraft to the different combat crew positions to see the viewpoint that thousands of airmen saw in combat over 60 years ago.
The B-17 flight experience takes 45 minutes with approximately half hour in flight. B-17 Flights are $410 for Liberty Foundation members and $450 for non-members. Passengers can become a Liberty Foundation Member for $40 and receive the member discount for family and friends.
While the cost to take a flight sounds expensive, it must be put into perspective when compared to the B-17's operating cost which is $4500 per flight hour. The Liberty Foundation spends over $1.5 million annually to keep the B-17 airworthy and out on tour.
The Liberty Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit flying museum and funds generated merely help offset these high costs. Only the public's interest and other generous donations keep this historic aircraft flying and from being silenced permanently in a museum for years to come.
Public flights and tours will be May 18-19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the South Valley Regional Airport, Leading Edge Aviation, 7365 South 4450 West, West Jordan.
Interested parties can call Scott Maher at (918) 340-0243 to schedule a flight or get information about the public tours.

Subject to the waiver authority under subsection (f), such transferred funds shall remain available for the same purposes for which such funds were originally appropriated: Provided, That such transferred funds shall remain available for obligation by the Federal Government until the expiration of the period of availability for those Federal discretionary funds (which are being used in the Pilot) that have the longest period of availability, except that any such transferred funds shall not remain available beyond September 30, 2018.
"(f) Waiver Authority.—In connection with a Federal agency's participation in a Performance Partnership Pilot, and subject to the other provisions of this section (including subsection (e)), the head of the Federal agency to which the Federal discretionary funds were appropriated may waive (in whole or in part) the application, solely to such discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot, of any statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirement that such agency head—
"(1) is otherwise authorized to waive (in accordance with the terms and conditions of such other authority), and
"(2) is not otherwise authorized to waive, provided that in such case the agency head shall—
"(A) not waive any requirement related to nondiscrimination, wage and labor standards, or allocation of funds to State and substate levels;
"(B) issue a written determination, prior to granting the waiver, with respect to such discretionary funds that the granting of such waiver for purposes of the Pilot—
"(i) is consistent with both—"(I) the statutory purposes of the Federal program for which such discretionary funds were appropriated, and "(II) the other provisions of this section, including the written determination by the agency head issued under subsection (d);
"(ii) is necessary to achieve the outcomes of the Pilot as specified in the Performance Partnership Agreement, and is no broader in scope than is necessary to achieve such outcomes; and
"(iii) will result in either—"(I) realizing efficiencies by simplifying reporting burdens or reducing administrative barriers with respect to such discretionary funds, or "(II) increasing the ability of individuals to obtain access to services that are provided by such discretionary funds; and
"(C) provide at least 60 days advance written notice to the Committees on Appropriations and other committees of jurisdiction in the House of Representatives and the Senate."

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in recognition of the successful interagency collaboration resulting from the Helping America's Youth initiative, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. It is the policy of the Federal Government to promote achievement of positive results for at-risk youth through:

The Chair, after consultation with the Vice Chair, shall designate an officer or employee of one of the member departments or agencies to serve as the Executive Secretary of the Working Group. The Executive Secretary shall head any staff assigned to the Working Group and any subgroups thereof, and such staff shall consist exclusively of full-time or permanent part-time Federal employees.
Sec. 4. Functions of the Working Group. Consistent with the policy set forth in section 1 of this order, the Working Group shall:
(a) identify and engage key government and private or nonprofit organizations that can play a role in improving the coordination and effectiveness of programs serving and engaging youth, such as faith-based and other community organizations, businesses, volunteers, and other key constituencies;

(iv) developing strategies to ensure that the Federal website is routinely updated, improved, and publicized;
(c) encourage all youth-serving Federal and State agencies, communities, grantees, and organizations to adopt high standards for assessing program results, including through the use of rigorous impact evaluations, as appropriate, so that the most effective practices can be identified and replicated, and ineffective or duplicative programs can be eliminated or reformed;
(d)(i) identify and promote initiatives and activities that merit strong interagency collaboration because of their potential to offer cost-effective solutions to achieve better results for at-risk youth, including volunteer service in concert with the USA Freedom Corps and mentoring in concert with the Federal Mentoring Council; and,
(ii) encourage rigorous evaluations, as appropriate, of such initiatives and activities to ascertain their effectiveness in improving academic, employment, social, and other individual outcomes, and make these findings publicly available, and
(e) annually report to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, on its work and on the implementation of any recommendations arising from its work, with the first such report to be submitted no later than 6 months after the date of this order.
Sec. 5. Administration of the Working Group. (a) The Secretary shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide administrative support and funding for the Working Group.

Submission Extra-Galactic Planet Discovered in Milky Way->
astroengine writes: "Between six to nine billion years ago, the Milky Way collided with another galaxy. As you'd expect, this caused quite a mess; stars dust and gas being ripped from the intergalactic interloper. In fact, to this day, the dust hasn't quite settled and astronomers have spotted an odd-looking exoplanet orbiting a metal poor star 2,000 light-years from Earth. Through a careful process of elimination, the extrasolar planet (known as HIP 13044b) actually works out to be an extragalactic planet, a surviving relic of the massive collision eons ago."

Calling All Collectors: Scientists Will Identify Objects at Museum's Identification Day

Visiting the Museum's Great Gull Island
by AMNH on
On the eastern edge of Long Island Sound, a small, rocky piece of land known as Great Gull Island houses the crumbling battlements of a U.S. Army fort and some 11,000 nesting pairs of Common and Roseate Terns. The Museum purchased the island in 1949 to preserve a breeding habitat for terns displaced by increasing development on Long Island's beaches. The acquisition has proven to be a success, as the remaining Army structures are a nesting tern's delight.

Comes out tomorrow the 17th at 5 PM PST. Im definitely gonna play
Personelly i enjoyed Gunz up to the point K-Style became rampent...it was an annoying thing to see thought that game was called "Gunz" for a reason to fight with guns...not "Fly around like a chinese movie" as your opponents happily fly around and destroy you with ease.....
and the hit detection was so bad realy I was realy good at using Revolvers and would use my smg's when I was out of ammo for revolvers... and I would be nailing people with full clips just to found out they were either never hit in general or were only hit 2 or 3 times out of the 20+ times that shoulda sank in o_O
Oh right sorry.
It even has the 4td character Rena. She's definitely my favorite now.
Can anyone even play a match?
I'm sad about the death of k-style, was fun to perfect the techniques and made Gunz gameplay quite unique compared to your average shooter
Well, the game is so broken no one can even start a match and it lags like every 10 seconds LOL. I feel bad for the people who were closely following this.
Current Games:
Wildstar - Entity - Healz Maybe - Dominion
Blade and Soul Taiwan - Viney - Wulin Faction
Skyforge - NA - Sir Vinn
Waiting for:
Blade and Soul NA
Everquest Next

PROVIDENCE — The scoreboard doesn't always tell the true story of a soccer game.
That may have been the case on Sunday as darkness enveloped the R.I. College soccer field while Lincoln and Exeter/West Greenwich battled through a tense Division II state championship final.
When the final whistle sounded, EWG celebrated a 2-1 victory over the gallant Lions, who hung tough in a game that saw the Scarlet Knights own a 24-10 advantage in shots on goal.
"They just had a little too much offense for us," Lincoln High coach John D'Aloisio said. "It could have been a 3-1 or 4-1 game if not for our goalie, Aiden Cullen, who I thought could have been voted the MVP of the game."
Cullen saved at least two goals while standing as the last line of defense for the Lions, who took an early 1-0 lead on Melissa Sorkin's 30-yard direct kick that drove EWG goalie Olivia Tourgee over the goal line while making a belated save of the powerful boot.
Sorkin's goal came 15 minutes and 16 seconds into the first half. It was more the product of her strong right leg than any offensive threat the Lions had put together.
EWG's defense had a plan to double-cover Lincoln's leading offensive threat, forward Jillian DeSimone, whenever the junior received the ball. And that strategy proved effective for most of the game.
Five minutes after Sorkin scored, Cullen made her first amazing save, diving to stop a hard shot by EWG's Kara Shaw.
Cullen's teammates were doing the best they could to thwart repeated intrusions by the Scarlet Knights.
Sophomore Ashley Moreau and senior Elizabeth D'Amelio led a strong effort by the Lions at midfield and beyond as the Knights began to control the tempo of the match. Even so, Lincoln would take a 1-0 lead into halftime.
The Lions, who only gave up eight goals in the regular season, continued to thwart EWG's. Senior Nora Kinslow blocked one of Shaw's hard passes with her body to break up a developing play by the Division II-South champions, who had scored 71 goals during the regular season (Lincoln won the North with 48 goals scored).
The game changed quickly six minutes into the second half when the Knights got the tying goal on a throw-in by Karen Rafanelli that senior Cara Caliri booted past Cullen from close range.
"They have one of the longest throw-ins I've seen in girls soccer," D'Aloisio admitted. "We knew about their thrower but she got the ball in deep and they just knocked it past Aiden."
The Knights, who edged Lincoln 2-1 in their only regular season meeting, got another quality shot three minutes later. Cullen again was equal to the task.
The Lions achieved some offensive pressure with 18 minutes left in regulation but couldn't get off a decent shot. Then with 11:40 left, DeSimone went down the right side and drilled a searing crossing pass. No teammates were positioned to convert the ball, which was gathered in by an EWG defender and reversed back up the field.
With 8:30 left, EWG really put the pressure on Cullen, creating an open shot for Allisa Georgio in front of the net. Georgio had the whole net to shoot at but slipped as she put her foot to the ball. Cullen came out of nowhere to snare the slow-moving shot before it crossed the goal line.
Before the Lions could breathe a sign of relief, the Knights set up for a corner kick that landed in a crowd of players, right in front of Lincoln's goal. Shaw swiftly booted the ball past Cullen and the Knights had their first lead of the game with 7:57 showing on the scoreboard clock.
Lincoln sent the ball in deep just once in those final 7 minutes and 57 seconds. The Lions could not produce a single shot on goal as time escaped from the scoreboard clock. DeSimone tried her best to create a couple of scoring chances but was run off the ball by the Knights' defenders.
Once the final whistle blew, the Lions trotted over to their side of the field, gathered their emotions, and then joined together at mid-field for the closing ceremonies. Each player received a medal for finishing second in the state. D'Aloisio accepted a silver plaque denoting the same accomplishment.
"We had a tremendous season," the first-year coach said. "The girls were wonderful to work with. They really pulled for each other. I know they are disappointed right now but they can leave the field with their heads held high."

Mary Chestnut Smith may not have scored this past weekend at the North Carolina State Games High School Soccer Showcase at Queens University in Charlotte.
But she certainly raised some eyebrows with the college scouts. Smith, a rising senior at Avery High who scored 33 goals this past year, played for the West all-stars and turned in a solid performance on Sunday afternoon in the bronze-medal game. She had four shots on goal, and nearly tallied twice.

Folks who read this column during the whole Cranston prayer banner controversy know I am a stickler about church and state separation.
Even when a complaint may seem picayune or silly, or targets a much revered or longstanding symbol, having religious iconography on public property is wrong and impermissible under the Constitution. Public property should and must be a zone of neutrality where all faiths feel welcome to pass and roam freely, but none can plant a flag — or a cross, or a crescent or a six-pointed star.
The idea is not freedom from religion, as the Wisconsin group opposing the Woonsocket memorial would have you believe, it is to protect religion from the encroachment of government.
As a wise man once said, when you mix politics and religion, what you get is politics. The Founding Fathers, who knew well the history of the bloody civil wars incited by mingling of church and state in the England many of them left, were careful to keep the corrupting hand of government out of religion in the Bill of Rights.
But the war memorial at Place Jolicoeur is different — materially, qualitatively and significantly different. It is different because it is not a religious symbol at all. Cross or no cross, it is not a religious symbol, it is a war memorial.
Its purpose — its reason for being, and for being where it is in the public square — has nothing to do with faith or religion. It is there to remember, and recognize the sacrifice of, the soldiers it honors: William Jolicoeur and Alexandre, Henri and Louis Gagne. The cross at the top is ancillary; it is, in effect, a decoration on the monument and what it denotes, any religious significance aside, is that this is a substitute for the graves these men will never have in their home city. They are buried on the faraway battlefields where they fell in service to their country.
I am not a lawyer, but I still watch a lot of "Law & Order" reruns, and there seems to be a U.S. Supreme Court decision fairly on point. The high court ruled that the display on public property of a crèche (Nativity scene) or menorah at the Christmas/Chanukah season is permissible if there are also secular symbols — Santa Claus, Christmas trees, candy canes, snowmen, etc. — as part of the display. That is exactly the case with the monument: there is the stone, the American flag and the plaque that are all important parts of the memorial as well as the cross.
By focusing on the cross, rather than the entirety of the memorial, and trying to get it removed, the Freedom From Religion Foundation opens itself up to charges of, well, zealotry. By attacking a war memorial as a manifestation of the establishment of a religion, they risk marginalizing themselves and poisoning the well for any future — and more worthy — complaints they might raise. It may be an unfortunate metaphor given the context, but is this the hill they are willing to die on?
So yes, the Place Joilcoeur monument is worth preserving, as it is, where it is.
However, the word worth can be a sticky one in a city that is, its mayor concedes, "teetering on the brink of insolvency." The city can not afford a cripplingly expensive legal battle over the monument, not right now. But neither can it afford to relinquish principle and cave into unreasonable demands simply because of the cost.
Mayor Leo Fontaine should first call the Freedom From Religion Foundation's bluff and see if they really have the will to take this case to court. If they do, then the City Solicitor should simply file a summary motion to dismiss, which has every chance of being successful. If it isn't and the matter must be fought out in court then there are many attorneys who would gladly take this case on a pro-bono basis or many organizations — perhaps even the ACLU if they can be convinced this is a speech rather than religious issue — that would be willing to put up the resources to fund a court fight.
The city should and must find some way to preserve the integrity of this memorial to sons of Woonsocket who died in battle.
For more years than I care to count, I have been covering hearings in cities and towns and the Statehouse where police officers and firefighters come to testify about budget issues — this is particularly true recently with all the various proposals to alter pension benefits.
As part of their argument they will inevitably say that, because of the nature of their jobs, when they leave to go to work they never know for sure if they will get to go back home, or see their families ever again.
I have to admit that, given the repetition, I do the one thing those public servants don't want me to do. I take it for granted. I stop writing those quotes down in my notebook, because I know they likely won't make it into the story.
As an outsider, someone who is observing and writing down, rather than living the life they are talking about, I become inured to it. It goes in one ear and out the other, often seeming like a play on emotions in a fight over money.
It takes something like last week's funeral of Providence Police Sgt. Maxwell Dorley to hit you in the gut with the realization that when cops and firemen say they could die in the line of duty any day they go to work, it is more than just words. For them and their families it is a horrible, nerve wracking, sleep-stealing way of life. And far too often, their worst fears are realized.
That's really all there is to say about it, except that, the next time you are tempted to gripe and groan about greedy, grasping public employee unions and their generous benefits, take a quick second to think about Sgt. Maxwell Dorley and what he contributed to "public service."

Chemical Exposure
When individuals are exposed to chemicals and toxins, they can face devastating injuries and medical problems. The effects can sometimes be treated but, in some cases, can lead to life-long problems. Even worse, sometimes the exposure is the result of another person's negligence and could have been prevented if certain actions were taken. This can happen when proper safety procedures were not taken in an environment such as a factories in which chemicals are used in the manufacturing process. However, chemical exposure can even happen in offices from cleaning products and paint.
One of the most common places an individual can be exposed to chemicals is at a construction site. According to the website of Crowe & Mulvey, LLP, even though toxic substance exposure may be less common than other accidents, the resulting injuries are often far more severe. Since construction sites constantly use dangerous chemicals, many instances can lead to toxic exposure. For example, accidents such as chemical fires, explosions, and spills can lead to the toxic exposure. However, employer negligence can also put employees in danger. These negligent actions include failing to quarantine a toxic substance or provide protective gear for employees. An employer may also fail to find chemicals in demolished materials, releasing them into the air. While construction sites are inherently dangerous, actions such as these put employees at more risk than necessary and can lead to devastating and life-long injuries.
Chemical exposure can lead to some of the most severe injuries an individual can take, changing an individuals' life forever. While accidents are often the cause, when employer negligence leads to toxic substances being released into the air, employees can take legal action to receive the compensation they deserve.
The Link Between Monsanto PCBs and Cancer
The United States federal government issued a ban on polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs in 1979. This came after health and environmental concerns came to light and made its way into public discourse. PCBs were solely produced in America by the agrochemical company Monsanto. Long before it dabbled in GMOs and biotechnology, Monsanto was a chemical industry leader and was estimated to have produced up to 1.5 billion tons of PCBs between the 1930s until the late 1970s. Today, PCBs are classified by both the Environmental Protection Agency and International Agency for Research on Cancer as probable human carcinogens.
There have been numerous scientific studies proving that PCBs cause cancer in animals. One study noted by the Environmental Protection Agency found that rats fed with PCB-laced food developed liver cancer over a two year period. According to an in-depth report by The Washington Post, another study that was covered up by Monsanto during their 4 decade production of PCBs showed that PCBs caused tumors in rats. While a similar definitive link is yet to be found between PCBs and cancer in humans, all studies point to the fact that prolonged and significant PCB exposure can result in considerable health risks. Another study pointed out by the Environmental Protection Agency is an examination of PCB exposure symptoms in workers. The study shows that there is a clear pattern indicating that exposure to PCBs increases the risk of liver cancer and melanomas.
All in all, the American scientific community has mostly come to the conclusion that toxic Monsanto PCBs can be potentially dangerous to human health. It has been particularly made clear by years of research that prolonged PCB exposure can negatively affect an individual's health. Aside from the threat of cancer, PCB has also been found to compromise a person's immune, reproductive, nervous, and endocrine systems.
Types of Construction Hazards
When proper precautions are taken on a construction site, workers can perform their jobs without being in an a harmful environment. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. A significant portion of workers are unnecessarily injured every year as a result of unsafe working conditions. Three common reasons for injury include slip and falls, struck by objects, and caught-in-betweens.
Slip and falls have potential to inflict extreme injury, and permanently affect the victim's life. If the floor is slippery, the workplace is cluttered, or surfaces are uneven, slip and falls can occur. Problems that can arise from these dangerous situations include injuries to the neck, spine, and hips.
Secondly, workers can be seriously hurt after being struck by a falling object. When people are working on a construction site, they should wear a hard hat to protect from falling objects. When there are not safe ways to deposit tools, trash, or unused material from a higher level on a construction site, they are liable to blow over or be dropped. According to the website of The Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., these mishaps can cause serious head injuries, broken bones, and painful lacerations.
Lastly, caught-in-betweens happen when a worker is crushed between two things in the construction site. Examples of caught-in-betweens are cave-ins, or being smashed by machinery as collides with something and the worker is stuck in the middle. Caught-in betweens are extremely painful, and can lead to amputations, broken bones, head injuries, and more.
Every one of these sources can be eliminated through implementing a higher degree of safety regulations on the work site. When workers are aware of their surroundings and consciously make efforts to keep the workplace safe, injuries are minimized.
Medical Malpractice in Tennessee
Do you think that you may have been a victim of medical malpractice in Tennessee? If so you should really find out a little more about state medical malpractice laws.
Medical malpractice laws vary from state to state, and in Tennessee, it is embodied in the Medical Malpractice Act. One of the conditions for determining if a claim has merit is to establish that a physician, nurse, or other healthcare professional failed to uphold the standard of care expected of them. This standard is defined as the generally accepted procedures and practices for a patient with particular medical condition for that geographic area.
The plaintiff in a medical malpractice claim in Tennessee must also establish that the failure to uphold the standard of care was the direct cause of your injury. This may take the form of a birth injury, wrong site surgery, retained surgical instrument, and so on.
Medical malpractice is perhaps the most insidious of personal injury cases because health professionals are specifically tasked to safeguard the health and well-being of patients. According to the website of personal injury lawyers of Pohl & Berk, LLP, we place a lot of trust in healthcare professionals and institutions, especially doctors, nurses and hospitals. This trusts makes it particularly egregious when they act in a careless or reckless manner, exposing their patients to serious harm.
In general, medical malpractice is not easy to prove because there are many factors that have to be considered to satisfy the definition of a breach and if it was in fact the proximate cause of an injury. It requires the expertise of the relevant healthcare professional and an experienced medical malpractice lawyer working in tandem to expose the negligence.
You have one year from the time of the injury to file a medical malpractice case against a healthcare professional or institution. That's not a lot of time, so if you believe you are a victim of medical negligence, consult with a medical malpractice lawyer in Tennessee as soon as possible.
An Overview of Silicosis
Silica or silicon oxide is perhaps one of the most common compound minerals found in nature, existing in various forms in soil, rock and sand. Its variety and abundance has made it an important component in many industries including construction, electronics, and food. As a consequence, it is estimated that more than 2 million workers in the US may be at risk for a medical condition called silicosis.
Silica can be present in the air as dust when working with materials that contain them such as concrete as extremely tiny particles that can be inhaled by anyone who is in the immediate area such as Nashville residents around a road being built. This is called respirable silica dust. Because it is so small, even a relatively small amount of silica can create a heavy concentration of silica dust. Somewhat similar to asbestos, when the silica particles are inhaled, they get into the lungs. This builds up over time and develops into a condition called silicosis, a type of pneumoconiosis, which is considered an occupational disease for workers who are repeatedly exposed to the dust. On average, 250 workers in the US die from silicosis every year.
The main problem with silicosis is that it makes it difficult for the patient to breathe, causing a perennial shortness of breath, and weakens the immune system so that the risks of developing respiratory, autoimmune and infectious diseases are much greater than a person without silicosis. And because there is no cure for silicosis, the only way to manage it is to do preventive measures. As any Tennessee personal injury lawyer may point out, it is the responsibility of employers and contractors to ensure the safety of their workers and other people from silica exposure to prevent silicosis.
There are three types of silicosis: acute (heavy exposure over a short time); chronic (regular exposure over an extended period ~10 years); and accelerated (regular exposure over a longer time ~20). It is difficult for the sufferer to detect the early symptoms of the disease because they can appear to be symptoms of a cold or flu (dry coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, feelings of tiredness). Some remain asymptomatic for years after exposure. If a person begins developing silicosis, the disorder will progress even when there is no further exposure to the mineral.
If you have contracted silicosis or other injury due to silica exposure, you may be able to get compensation from the responsible party. Consult with a toxic exposure in your area to discuss your legal options.
Staying Green in Infancy
Being a baby is not exactly the best thing for the environment. Babies, like all humans, can contribute to pollution. While this is kind of inevitable in our consumption-driven capitalist society, there are ways parents can reduce baby's carbon footprint.
One of the easiest ways to help curb baby-related pollution is to simply recycle your baby products. All those glass jars baby food comes in can be either repurposed in some cute DIY project, or simply sent to the recycling plant.
Another huge baby contribution to pollution is one-use diapers. Aside from being filled with baby waste, disposable diapers take up a great deal of space in landfills and smell bad. While it is definitely more work, having reusable cloth diapers can drastically cut back on baby-related pollution. Think about it: A baby can go through several disposable diapers a day. Over the course of a few years (until baby can go potty by herself), this will add up to hundreds of diapers being disposed of. Additionally, you'll save a lot of money not buying a new package of diapers every few weeks.
Radiology Errors as Medical Practice
Attending physicians are often targeted for medical malpractice lawsuits for delayed or wrong diagnosis, but they are not always the only parties concerned. In most cases, a physician will make a diagnosis based on results from blood work and radiology.
Radiology is a specialty field of medicine dealing with the use and interpretation of the products of various imaging technologies. Film X-ray radiology are the most commonly recognized technique, but there are also other techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Each of these techniques has a specific use, but they are all primarily diagnostic tools. A radiologist is a doctor who is qualified not only to perform the test but to interpret the raw data. A radiology technician, on the other hand, is only trained to take the images but is not qualified to "read" them.
The interpretation of the radiologist of what is in an image is what reaches the attending physician, which will use it together with other data to make a diagnosis. According to the website of law firm Crowe & Mulvey, LLP in New Hampshire, errors in reading the image are more common than people know. If the interpretation is wrong, or there was a perceptual error (missed something), the attending physician is likely to make a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, which can both have serious consequences for a patient who needs to be treated correctly in a timely manner.
Yet this is an aspect of medical malpractice that is often overlooked because of a multiplicity of errors. While fault may not lie entirely with the radiologist, it is important that they are also held accountable to minimize the occurrence of preventable errors in interpretation and perception of diagnostic images.
If you have suffered harm because of a delayed or wrong diagnosis, there may be others responsible aside from or instead of the attending physician. Bring your medical records to a Massachusetts personal injury attorney experienced in handling diagnostic error cases to get an accurate assessment of who should be held liable and sued for in your potential medical malpractice case. An experienced attorney will be able to determine the most likely defendant for your case to succeed against.
