A number of significant historical events have occurred in...
Heard County
Heard County, in west central Georgia on the border with Alabama, is the state's seventy-seventh county. Created in 1830 from 301 square miles of Carroll, Coweta, and Troup counties, it was named for Stephen Heard, an influential patriot of the American Revolution (1775-83), a planter, and a governor of Georgia from 1780 to 1781. The land now encompassed by Heard County was originally held by Creek Indians, who lost it at the Treaty of Indian Springs in 1825. The first white inhabitants arrived soon after the signing of the treaty and acquired most of their property by state-run land lotteries. Most of the new settlers came from other parts of Georgia in the search for better land.
The county seat, Franklin, named in honor of Benjamin Franklin, was an established village by 1770 but not incorporated until 1831. The first courthouse burned down in 1893 and was replaced the
The Heard County Historical Society, organized in 1979, maintains a museum and archive of historical records in the "Old Jail" building in Franklin. Other incorporated communities in the county are Centralhatchee (incorporated in 1903) and Ephesus (incorporated in 1964).
Rocky soil prevented the county's farmers from developing large-scale operations; they were required instead to engage primarily in subsistence farming during the early days of the county's history. Eventually able to grow cotton as well, county residents entered a period of relative prosperity after Civil War (1861-65) until a drop in the cotton market, damage wrought by the boll weevil, and the Great Depression forced many farmers to leave. The remaining inhabitants discovered that devoting much of their land to forestry was profitable, and today a large proportion of the county's acreage is reserved for the lumber industry. A few farmers raise some beef cattle and poultry for market, and a number of residents are employed by factories.
A satellite campus of West Georgia Technical College is located in Heard County.
Notable residents of the county include Mayhayley Lancaster, a fortune-teller, lawyer, political activist, schoolteacher, and self-proclaimed "oracle of the ages," who became a west Georgia legend in the first half of the Georgia Historical Society to "the book judged the most worthy contribution to Georgia county or local history published during the previous year."
According to the 2010 U.S. census, the population of Heard County is 11,834, a slight increase from the 2000 population of 11,012.

[REF WATCH]Referee Matt Stoneman found himself in a difficult situation when he allowed a controversial goal in a Pacific Premiership soccer match in New Zealand.
Port Hill scored in the 27th minute of the match but Western Rangers claimed that the goal should have been disallowed because of offside. Before the game was restarted, Stoneman sent off Rangers captain Owen West and player/coach Jeremy Birss for protesting the decision. After the pair told their teammates to leave the field, Rangers fans ran onto the field and confronted the official.
As the possibility of a physical altercation became more and more likely, Port Hill substitute Mitch O'Brien came to the rescue, saving Stoneman from the angry spectators.
"They were swearing at him and he's only a young fellow and he seemed to be quite intimidated by that so I told them to get lost," O'Brien said. "One of them gave me a headbutt so I gave them one back. You know he doesn't have to be scared of that sort of nonsense, mate,' he said.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M:
Rebranded GeForce GT 645M/640M with minimal improvements to power consumption. Can also be based on the slower GK208 chip (only 64 bit memory interface).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
Haswell-based dual-core processor clocked at 2.9 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
Above all, this display size is used for subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles. For all three types, this size is quite large. The biggest variety of subnotebooks is represented with this size.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

With over 340 stores (and counting!), we've got a lot of hidden gems out there. Get the story behind the store in this eight-store series. Maybe your local store will be featured next! (Read on to find out how you could win a $50 gift card to Whole Foods Market®. UPDATE: Thanks to everyone that entered. Congrats to our randomly chosen winner, Courtney F.!)
Today we're talking with Paul Barron, the new Marketing Team Leader at the Sonoma store in California.
What's the best-kept secret at your store?
It's got to be HelloCello's Limoncello di Sonoma. So good. And grown, produced, bottled and sold right here in Sonoma County. It's made with ingredients from small farms in Northern California, like organic lemons, grappa distilled from biodynamic grapes, as well as fairly-traded agave sugar. It's only available online or at our store, and it's a citrusy, fresh and crisp true taste of Sonoma!
What's the tastiest dish in your store right now?
Rafi, one of our Team Members in the Whole Body department, is a sandwich genius. The sandwich she custom built one day in our Prepared Foods department is so good we decided to make it a feature. Rafi's "That's a Wrap" is tuna, kale, feta, tomatoes, shallots, walnuts, lemon juice and walnut oil in your choice of wrap. It's super popular, and only available through the end of March. Get it now and thank Rafi later.
Tell us about one rock star Team Member.
If you've ever shopped at our store, you probably already know our Team Leader in Specialty, Chris Moonsammy. Team Members and shoppers absolutely love this guy. He's spent years working in Michelin-starred and award-winning restaurants like Cindy Pawlcyn's Mustard's Grill, so not only does he know a ton about wine, cheese and really any other ingredient, but his customer service is exceptionally great too.
For example: a customer asked about the difference in three different colors of miso. Chris stepped in and gave a full tutorial (hint: it has to do with how they're processed. If you want to know the full scoop, stop by and ask Chris!). And when our store had to stop carrying Devonshire Cream, Chris was able to tell a customer how to recreate it with basic ingredients she probably already had in her home. He always goes the extra mile, and we're so happy to have him in Sonoma!
What's the most popular local product your store carries?
Dips and spreads from the popular local restaurant The Girl and The Fig fly off our shelves. Clover Milk and cheeses from Vella and Cowgirl Creamery are also super popular. But I'd have to say the Russian River Brewing Company's Pliny the Elder Double India Pale Ale is the winner here. We get limited amounts and it sells out in a flash. And actually, this is a timely question because during the first week of April, we're doing a pop-up booth in somewhere in Sonoma and we'll be serving Pliny the Elder… watch for us (or just come by the store and pick up your case early!).
Whatcha got going on with local schools or non-profits?
I am so excited about these. First, we're finalizing a title sponsorship for the Valley of the Moon Certified Farmer's Market! We'll be in the Plaza every Tuesday with local farmers to support them as they share their amazing products with around 2,000 shoppers. One of our Core Values is Caring about our Communites, and this is one way we can directly do that.
We're also building a partnership with La Luz Center, which provides English language and computer skills training, distributes food, offers crisis and medical services and supports multicultural events among the Latino community. We're starting by sponsoring a Cinco de Mayo potlock there; we'll roast a whole wild boar, bring all kinds of tasty sides and make a party of it.
What else makes your store a "hidden gem"?
A lot of people don't know we have some great value options. We're a "hidden gem" because we're a one-stop shop for all your wine country vacation and picnic needs – and with coupons and the 365 Everyday Value brand in the basket, shoppers can really save money. This, of course, is great because it leaves more in your wallet to purchase the delicious wines you taste while you're here!
Plus, we're close to the Square, where open containers are allowed. You can buy some Limoncello di Sonoma and a Rafi's Wrap and head to the Square for a lovely evening.
Now that you know what makes our Sonoma store shine in California – tell us: what makes your local store a hidden gem?
Share your comment below by Sunday, March 31 and you'll be entered to win a $50 Whole Foods Market gift card. Enter once on each "hidden gems" blog post, running from March 20 – March 29, for more chances to win.
The fine print: No purchase necessary. Promotion ends 3/31/12, 11:59 PM CDT. Must be a legal resident of the US or Canada (except in Quebec, where it is void) age 18 or older to participate. Taxes on prize, if applicable, are the responsibility of the winner. Employees of Whole Foods Market, Inc., are not eligible. Void where prohibited.

Big Boob Videos » Busty Dildo Lovers 2: Crystal Gunns
Featuring Crystal Gunns
Date February 29th, 2012
Duration 20:09
This SCORE vid from Busty Dildo Lovers 2 of Model of the Year Crystal Gunns batin' in bed was the second video she did. Crystal was nervous about videos back then and used to worry about how she looked and performed. There was nothing to worry about. Crystal could have been a hot web-cam girl with her style and body but she preferred exotic dancing in front of a live audience. She definitely would not have left her cam viewers dangling, literally, by dragging things out the way a lot of cam-girls do to build up the minutes. Crystal was too straightforward and down to the good stuff in everything she did on camera. "In fact, my first video was with SCORE," Crystal said in one of her earliest interviews. "Honestly, I didn't think I was going to get through it because I was so nervous, but the second one for Busty Dildo Lovers 2 was easier and a lot of fun. Now, I do my dildo shots and it's like, 'Oh, great, my dildo shots.' And it just stays in there, so, they're great. Peter [the photographer] was very happy with me today because my muscles down there are getting really strong, and I just held the dildo in." Crystal, usually a very chatty girl, is very quiet as she dildos herself.
What Members are saying about this update...

C G - legend -- beautiful. Can I get a big AMEN for that??
March 03, 2012
Crystal Gunns is a legend. What a beautiful woman!

Many of the changes to the design have to do with the space below ground, where trucks bringing goods to the offices and stores in the new buildings will pass through security screening. Victims' family members have long been calling for the "footprints" where the Twin Towers stood (marked in squares on the map) to be free from any construction besides a memorial, both above and below ground. While the original plans put the security checkpoint underneath the World Trade Center site, the new design moves the underground truck route south of Liberty Street, underneath the new park. The truck ramp and security area is marked in blue in the image on the left.
The PATH tracks, which ran underneath part of the north tower and much of the south tower before the attacks, are being rebuilt in the same location, although an extra train platform may be added. The PATH tracks are shown in the image on the right. The PATH station is slated to open in November 2003.

text: Description Suggest an Edit The St. Louis Riverfront Trail follows the Mississippi River on the Missouri side, from Gateway Arch heading north to the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, part of the legendary Route 66. The trail is distinctly urbangritty even, in placespassing among old industrial areas along the river and atop a levee. There are plans to renovate some of the buildings.The landscape is dotted with trees, and you'll find a narrow green belt along portions of this riverfront trail; watch for wildlife in these sections. Some crossings are not paved and you'll also have to be mindful at these crossings for traffic. In addition, there are a few short hills that lead to and from the levees.

The collection of essays in Cybercrime: Law Enforcement,
Security & Surveillance In The Information Age
(London: Routledge 2000) edited by Douglas Thomas &
Brian Loader offer a concise, thoughtful introduction
to issues and technologies, including privacy, encryption,
hacking, anonymity and infowar. It is complemented by
the Australian Institute of Criminology 2007 report on
The future of technology-enabled crime in Australia
Information Security Management: Global Challenges
in the New Millennium (Hershey: Idea 2001) edited
by Gurpreet Dhillon, Cyber-Threats, Information Warfare
& Critical Infrastructure Protection (Westport:
Praeger 2002) by Anthony Cordesman, The Law &
Economics of Cybersecurity (Cambridge: Cambridge
Uni Press 2006) edited by Mark Grady & Francesco Parisi
and Security and Usability (Sebastopol: O'Reilly
2005) edited by Lorrie Cranor & Simson Garfinkel are
also recommended.
The Hundredth Window: Protecting Your Privacy and Security
in the Age of the Internet (New York: Free Press
2000) by Charles Jennings & Lori Fena is a crisp overview
of dangers and what you can do about them. The authors
were among the founders of industry group TRUSTe
whose performance is questioned elsewhere on this site;
Fena has been a president of the Electronic Frontiers
Foundation (EFF).
Other introductions include Digital Crime & Digital
Terrorism (Upper Saddle River: Pearson Education
2006) edited by Robert Taylor
Secrets & Lies: Digital Security In A Networked World
(New York: Wiley 2000) by Bruce Schneier is an engaging,
clearly-written introduction to security mechanisms, policies
and risk assessment. It's strongly recommended. Schneier
is a leader thinker about network security; his Applied
Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms and Source Code in
C (New York: Wiley 1995) is a detailed primer.
Trust & Risk In Internet Commerce (Cambridge:
MIT Press 2000) by L Jean Camp is a useful study of perceptions
of risk online, regulatory frameworks and technologies
such as encryption. Like Schneier's Secrets it's
an essential read. We recommend reading in conjunction
with Joseph Reagle's thesis, identified on the preceding
page of this guide. It is more up to date than The
Global Internet Trust Register (Cambridge: MIT Press
1999) edited by Ross Anderson, Fabien Petitcolas, Bruno
Crispo et al - a PDF
version of the 1998 edition is available.

We are impressed by Hacking Exposed (New York:
McGraw-Hill 1999) from Stuart McClure, Joel Scrambray
& George Kurtz and by Dieter Gollmann's Computer

Earlier this year the cybercrime
unit in the US Department of Justice released a useful

Conduct Involving the Use of the Internet.
Like its 1997 report
on The Availability of Bombmaking Information,
the Frontier document provides a perspective on

than the breathless Safe: The Race to Protect Ourselves
in a Newly Dangerous World (New York: HarperCollins

The Danger of a Defective Car Part
A car accident is a always traumatic experience, add to this the physical injuries victims will sustain and how serious these injuries will be. The severity of injuries and extent of damage during car accidents are greatly affected by the types of vehicles involved in the accident and the speed of these vehicles before collision. Thus, a bigger and faster moving vehicle will definitely cause greater property damage and worse injuries to the victim.
Besides the injuries, the victim is sure to be subjected to financial burden also as the injury will require medical treatment, and if the victim will not be able to render work, this will means lost wages, putting him/her and his/her family in a more stressful situation.
Often, car accidents occur due to the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of the driver. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the top four causes of accidents are drunk-driving, speeding, driver error (like failure to use signal lights or failure to buckle-up) and driving distractions, such as texting while driving, which is the leading type of distraction among young drivers in the U.S. These causes fall under the control of the driver; but there are also other causes of accidents which fall outside the driver's control; and since these are not obvious to the driver, the risk of accident is increased, and the extent of damage and severity of injuries, possibly greater.
These other causes include defective car parts or poorly manufactured vehicular parts, such as a defective braking system, an exploding airbag, a defective child seat or, seat belt, headlights or signal lights that do not work properly, or tire tread depth that falls short of government standard. These defects can be due to something that the manufacturer failed to do or something that the manufacturer did, but which is not supposed to be part of the manufacturing process.
It is not easy to prove a car defect (especially if the defect is the car's design itself) or a defective car part. Despite a driver's statement that a particular part failed to function properly, evidences that will prove the veracity of the driver's words will be required. If proven, however, then the manufacturer of the defective car part will have a lot to answer for, including compensating the victim for his/her present and future accident-caused financial concerns, besides recalling the defective part so as not to put other lives in danger. An experienced attorney of the Hankey Law Office can assist with legal action against car manufacturers.Read More
Health and the Elderly
An Assembly bill that seeks to shift the management of Medicaid fundings to private entities is being mulled in Nevada. However, even as this proposed legislation is yet to leave the chambers necessary to make it a full-fledged law, advocates are concerned that changing management platforms could lead to a loss for the senior citizens and the disabled of the region.
For instance, 72-year-old Marsha Rodriguez, who is afflicted with a hereditary protein deficiency that gives her difficulty in breathing, is able to receive services from a home caregiver who helps her take a bath, change her clothes, and perform minor activities such as doing laundry and cooking because she receives a Home and Community Based Waiver, which uses Medicaid funding. So instead of living in a nursing home or an assisted living facility, she can be taken care of at home.
If Nevada transitions the population to a Medicaid managed care program, non-profits and advocacy groups are worried that senior citizens, blind people, and the disabled would find it difficult to receive financial assistance and live at home, which is currently being taken care of by the state Aging and Disability Services Division by operating waiver programs that provide non-medical programs to the said group of people.
According to SeniorAdvice.com, the proposal died at the committee level without even reaching a public hearing but a similar provision was placed onto the final appropriations bill of the state's most recent legislative session.
Aging and Disability Services Division administrator Jane Gruber said it was unclear whether all or only a subset of the elderly, blind, and disabled who are receiving non-medical services via the waiver program, which serves 4,443 people, can be affected. One thing she said for sure, they will be affected.
Non-profit organization Nevadans for the Common Good held a caucus regarding the subject matter on Oct. 27, 2015, which was attended by many lawmakers in the state, including state Senator Michael Robertson and Assemblymen Paul Anderson and John Hambrick.Read More
Hazards on the Road
Driving has its hazards; even though you're closed inside one's vehicle's strong protection, a car accident may cause significant injuries to other owners, or to you, your passengers. If the incident happened not because of your mistake but as a result of another's, then they may be used responsibly for compensation. Economic compensation for your problems bought might be offered once you've the help of capable car accident attorneys who is able to signify your plight in court successfully.
There are various explanations why road crashes happen. Some are because of human mistake or physical problems, where both can be stopped and can be beneath the driver's handle. Where the driver is completely for example where paths aren't while in the greatest condition isn't at fault there are situations, nevertheless. Such, malfunctioning traffic lights, broken roads, and street risks including poorly illuminated roads could cause any motorists, even the absolute most thorough ones a threat. While crashes arise due to such route dangers, town, their state, or perhaps the government could be the one accountable.
Potholes are one of the reasons for many road crashes. They could cause problems to the vehicles and also the driver although they're frequently looked at as mere problems on the road. Potholes occur mainly because of two reasons: first, the future don-and-rip of the trail and second, poor temporary route fixes. According to the website of the Newport Beach personal injury lawyers of The Seegmiller Law Firm, when these potholes seem to be about the streets, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause damage to the vehicle.
You can find facts once you feel the potholes on the road would be the people that triggered your accident, to consider. First, be sure that the government continues to be liable of the responsibility minute, that their irresponsible behavior triggered the injuries which you have sustained, and to guarantee the protection of the streets. Collecting data, appropriate paperwork and watch stories is vital in making certain you've a strong case contrary to the government, thus acquiring pro help from car accident attorneys is the best solution to make certain you could have the reimbursement you deserve.Read More
Drug Overdose
The US Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) recorded 43,982 deaths due to drug overdose in 2013. More than half of this number, 22,767 or 51.8% were involved in the use of drugs either prescribed by doctors or sold over-the-counter.
The problem of drug abuse in the US goes back to the 19th century, when a mixture of opium and alcohol, called laudanum, was then used. Laudanum was used as a medical remedy for diarrhea, cough, anxiety, sleeplessness and pain. Its addictive effects were found useful, especially by Caucasian women, who could definitely not go to bars or saloons to drink (like their male counterparts); instead, they went to their doctor for the addictive drug, which they claimed was a remedy against pregnancy problems, emotional problems, menstrual cramps and childbirth.
Many other addictive substances, including heroin, opium, cocaine and marijuana, were used as time went on; however, during the early part of the 1900s, laws eliminated the distribution of these substances and, by 1920s, the stimulants methamphetamine and amphetamine became doctors' and abusers' center of attention.
Currently, drug abuse has come to involve prescription medications, such as pain relievers. Today's most commonly abused prescription drugs include: opioid pain relievers, like Oxycontin and Vicodin; central nervous system (CNS) depressants, which relieves anxiety, like Xanax and Valium; and stimulants formulated to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), like Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall. The most abused over-the-counter drugs, on the other hand, are cold and cough medicines that contain dextromethorphan.
In 2005, 4.4 million American teenagers, aged between 12 and 17, confessed to taking prescription painkillers and, in 2006, an additional 2.6 million was reported as having become first time abusers. Today, an estimated 15 million people in the US are prescription drugs abusers, surpassing the combined number of those who use illegal substances.
With drug abuse, however, comes the danger of death. CDC, in fact, has been reporting at least, 20,000 deaths each year, since 2009, due to narcotic pain relievers. Since these drugs are prescribed by doctors, majority of the teenagers who abuse these believe that these must be safe. But these drugs, in reality, when taken for no reason at all, except for the high that these provide, can even be more dangerous than illegal substances.
Opioids, for example, can cause constipation and make a person feel drowsy. If too much is taken, it can also depress (or slow down) breathing. This particular effect of opioid can cause hypoxia, which is inadequate supply of oxygen to the brain – a condition that can result to coma and/or permanent brain damage.
Occasions that lead to prescription drug abuse include the unscrupulous practice of a number of doctors who have become prescription factories in exchange for easy money. Or it could be due to the carelessness of some parents or relatives, who leave these types of drugs within easy reach of their teenage children.Read More
How to Check for Asbestos
Asbestos was widely used until the late 1970's for its fire resistant properties before it was determined to be a highly toxic material that caused the cancer mesothelioma. Since it was used to build many homes before this discovery, some people who own older homes can be at risk for asbestos exposure. There are steps you can take to determine if your home may have materials containing asbestos.
The first step is to simply determine when your house was built. Since asbestos was officially banned in 1989, houses built after this have a low risk of containing materials with asbestos. If your home was built before this time though, you need to inspect further. You cannot determine the existence of asbestos simply by looking at it. You instead need to check for signs that building materials are deteriorating or suffering from wear and tear. This is because asbestos is not particularly hazardous when protected but can become a risk when materials start to break down and the fibers are released into the air. You can look for disintegration in walls, tiles, insulation, and even stove tops.
If you see any signs of wear and tear in an older home, you should usually contact a professional to get the area tested for asbestos. This can also be a necessary precaution if you plan to renovate an older home and potentially release the asbestos fibers into the air. Before tests are done, it is important that you do not use power tools that can cut or disturb the fibers. It is not recommended to do this on your own as you may be put at risk of exposure.
A trained professional can come and take a sample of the materials you expect have been contaminated by asbestos and take the necessary steps to remove the fibers if they are found.
Asbestos exposure can be a serious health concern and lead to mesothelioma cancer that can affect the lungs, abdomen, chest, and other parts of the body. View this website to learn more about mesothelioma and asbestos exposure.Read More
China Makes 3D Printed Car
3D printing is no longer just about making small objects you will never need. The 3D printing industry is experiencing innovation at a rapid rate, and is constantly redefining their worth.
A company named Sanya Si Hai 3D Technology, Ltd. brought China its first 3D printed car. Weighing in at 500 kilograms, or 1102.31 pounds, this car is named Shuya after the city it was made in. Shuya can go up to 20 kilometers per hour, or about 25 miles per hour and runs on an electric motor.
Made of Tyrant Gold material, the car cost $1770 to create, including labor. It took about five days to print the 3.6 m/1.6 m two-seater.
This is not the first 3D printed car, or even the fastest made one, but the fact that it is China's first is exciting regardless.
Many companies are also testing the water of 3D printing homes. A Chinese company called WinSun even printed an apartment building as well as a mansion. Unlike cars, housing is a sector of 3D printing in which China is at the forefront of.
Of course, with this new form of technology, one should still be a little skeptical. 3D printing has not come with any major concerns yet, but it is important to think critically about any sort of new technology in order to avoid problems from arising. That is not to say to avoid 3D printed objects for the next 20 years, but wait until ones such as cars and homes have been heavily tested and researched before getting one for yourself. Also, these grand projects are not something you should try to create by yourself. The website of Jeff Sampson says that injury victims face a wide range of consequences that can affect them for the rest of their lives, so if you happen to come in contact with a 3D printer, stick with making small trinkets for now.Read More
Medical Nightmares Brought by Risperdal
Mental disorders are some of the most difficult health conditions that a person may have to deal with and there is such a negative stigma that surrounds even the association of such. The emotional and psychological stability of a person with a mental disorder is delicate in nature due to the cognitive discrepancies caused by the illness. Life is markedly more complicated with illnesses such as this, which is why it is imperative that the medication that allows for people who suffer such conditions can live a life as normally as possible.
Imagine then the profound and tragic impact that a defective drug could have upon an individual already so decidedly damaged by this disease that they did not ask for? To cite an example, lawyers of Williams Kherkher reported evidence on their website that Risperdal, a drug meant to treat patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism, has been linked to having been the cause of more illnesses such as gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a condition that increases estrogen levels in some young males, altering their physical appearance. This drug has also been linked to having been the cause of other conditions such as diabetes, galactorrhea, pituitary tumors, et cetera. This can be cripplingly devastating news for someone who is already sick – that they have gotten even more ill in trying to alleviate themselves from their mental disorder.
If this situation has happened to you or someone you know, it is advisable to seek the help of legal experts who have the know-how and specialization with defective pharmaceutical cases such as this.

Overview of Uncontested Divorce in North Carolina
An uncontested divorce differs from the typical divorce most of us are aware of in that there are no issues that need to be resolved in court. There are only two requirements for an uncontested divorce in North Carolina to be filed. One is that either spouse has been a resident of the state for at least six months, and the other is that the spouses have been living physically apart for at least a year. Because North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state, neither spouse needs to dispute anything to file for divorce.
The forms that are needed to be completed are available from the county clerk office where the couple resides and is based on the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts templates. The completed forms should be printed in black ink and filed with the county clerk office by one spouse, deemed the Petitioner. The other spouse is deemed the Defendant, who is given 30 days after being served with a Summons to respond. A hearing is then scheduled at which time the judge signs the divorce agreement.
It is possible to dispense with the services of a divorce lawyer when it comes to an uncontested divorce but it may turn out more expensive in the long run. While an uncontested divorce may seem a straightforward case, there are often unexpected complications that may arise depending on the circumstances. As pointed out on the website of divorce law firm Marshall and Taylor, working out the details of a divorce agreement can be overwhelming, especially if the couple has acquired property and have children. While these issues may not be in dispute, the legal documentation is still quite extensive and often complex.
If you are planning to file an uncontested divorce, it would be advisable to retain the services of a divorce lawyer to file it for you. It will save you time and money, and you will be assured that your divorce goes through without any hassles.Read More
Power Morcellators: Cause of Deadly Cancer
The National Institutes of Health states that hysterectomy, the removal of the uterus or the womb, is one surgery that majority of American women undergo before reaching the age of 60. This is due to the various uterus-related diseases that they can develop, such as cancer of the uterus, cervical or ovarian cancer, chronic pelvic pain, infection of the uterus (like pelvic inflammatory disease), uterine fibroids (benign tumors), vaginal bleeding, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and uterine prolapse (a condition wherein the uterus drops halfway between the cervix and the birth canal or vagina). Hysterectomy is actually the second most common surgical procedure performed on women in the US, Caesarean section being the first.
Traditional hysterectomy procedures, like vaginal and abdominal hysterectomies, required about five to seven-inch long incisions, big enough for the doctor to reach the particular organ or tissue that needs to be removed or treated. The introduction of the morcellator in the 1990s, though, saved patients the long abdominal cuts and longer recovery period required in traditional hysterectomy (as the device necessitates only 0.5-1cm incisions, and enables doctors to perform the procedure faster, more accurately, with minimal chances of infection and with much lesser pain and loss of blood).
A morcellator is a medical device capable of mincing (morcellating) large tissues into very small sizes that will allow easy suction and removal from the body. This device was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in laparoscopic (or minimally invasive) surgeries, such as hysterectomy and myomectomy (removal of myoma or uterine fibroids).
Despite its many benefits, the FDA found the necessity of issuing a safety alert that discouraged the further use of the device in surgical procedures due to reports that it can cause the development of leiomyosarcoma, a deadly type of cancer due to the spread of cancerous tissues called uterine sarcoma.
The first to respond to this FDA alert was Ethicon's Johnson & Johnson (the giant pharmaceutical company's power morcellator manufacturing unit), suspending distribution, recalling from the market and requesting doctors and hospitals to return three of the best engineered morcellator devices in the global market: the Gynecare Morcellex, the Gynecare X-Tract and the Morcellex Sigma.
Lawsuits against the manufacturers of power morcellators are now facing lawsuits filed by women (or by their respective family) diagnosed with the deadly cancer. The law firm of Williams Kherkher says on its website that women who have been harmed by a morcellator to immediately consult a morcellator lawyer to find out their legal options that may allow them to receive compensation from the harmful device's manufacturer.Read More
Qsymia and Belviq: The Newest Weight-loss pills in the Market
Obesity is one serious health problem that can increase the risk of heart attack, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer; and records from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reveal that 35.7 percent (more than one-third) of U.S. adults suffer from this unfavorable condition.
For many years the various options to shed off extra pounds have been strict diet, regular exercise, dietary herbal supplements, weight-loss pills or, if choosing to resort to medical means, then through bariatric surgery (which is removal of parts of the small intestines and stomach through surgery) or gastric banding (the surgical implanting of an inflatable silicone device around the stomach's top portion to make a person eat less as well as prolong the time for the digestion of food).
Diet and exercise required very strict discipline, weight-loss pills were linked to adverse events and the two surgical procedures presented possible serious side-effects, besides failing to ensure long term effects. The lack of, and the dire need for, an easier, more effective and safe means to shed off a substantial amount of unwanted fats, which could also ensure long-lasting results, were major reasons that made the introduction of the two new diet pills Qsymia (pronounced kyoo-sim-EE-uh) and Belviq (pronounced BEL-VEEK) an excellent news for those suffering from obesity in the US.
The oral prescription drugs Qsymia and Belviq were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2012. Belviq (lorcaserin hydrochloride), a serotonin 2C receptor agonist, is manufactured by Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. The FDA approved it in June 2012 to serve as a therapy prescription for long-term weight loss; it should be taken in combination with a healthy diet and exercise program.
Qsymia (formerly Qnexa), on the other hand, is a diet pill that combines two FDA-approved drugs: phentermine and (the extended-release formulation of) Topamax or topiramate. It is manufactured by the California pharmaceutical company Vivus, Inc. Qsymia was approved for chronic weight management, as an adjunct to increased physical activity and a reduced-calorie diet.
Both prescription drugs are intended to treat chronic weight problems in adults who are obese (that is, those who have a Body Mass Index or BMI of, at least, 30) or overweight (with a 27 or greater BMI) and suffering from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, or any weight-related condition.
Despite the delays in the further conduction of clinical trials that will determine the actual level of safety or danger associated with using Qsymia or Belviq cases of dangerous side-effects, with disturbing frequency, are already being reported.
According to an article in the website of Williams Kherkher, some of the serious harms that Qsymia and Belviq can cause are cardiovascular damage, depression, language problems, attention difficulties and memory loss.
Vision impairment, suicidal thoughts and actions, and increased heart rate, are also being linked to Qsymia, while those taking Belviq have also complained of valvular heart disease, serotonin syndrome or NMS-like reactions, slow heartbeat, hematological changes, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), painful erections and prolactin elevation.
Williams Kherkher advises those whose health have been affected due to their use of either Qsymia or Belviq to contact a lawyer who has extensive knowledge on both drugs and their side-effects. His expertise on the issue is sure to benefit those harmed by either of the drug by helping them look into their personal cases for the possibility of claiming damages for any harm they are made to suffer.Read More

The time leading into the 2011 NBA trade deadline was one of the busiest and most high-profile transaction periods in recent memory.
In an unprecedented series of events, two All Stars were traded, as Carmelo Anthony was sent to the New York Knicks and Deron Williams was acquired by the New Jersey Nets.
Even the 2009-10 runner-up Boston Celtics made a move, dealing away their starting center Kendrick Perkins.
And with other big names like Gerald Wallace, Mo Williams, Baron Davis and Jeff Green all changing teams, it is clear that the NBA landscape has been altered.
Consequently, there are a number of teams whose 2010-11 season outlooks have been drastically modified.
As a result, this slideshow will take a look at the transactions made (or not made) by every team, assess how the changes (or lack thereof) will affect the squads and project an end-of-season record for each franchise.
Additionally, all of the teams' records in this slideshow account for the 1230 total wins and 1230 total losses which must mathematically occur during each NBA season.

Free art to get out the vote
The debates are over, the robo calls will soon come to an abrupt end and by this time tomorrow those lawn signs may seem like yesterday's news. In these final hours of the 2012 election there is really only one kind of messaging left -- get out the vote.
And as we say in journalism, that kicker counts. Getting through at the very end, after a long haul of dialogue over taxes, health care, the environment, national security and jobs, among many other things, is no easy feat. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
