Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was struck by a car while cycling in San Francisco. It was 100% the driver's fault. My injuries were a split chin, a broken tooth, and cartilage damage in my knee, along with a destroyed bicycle.
CHIN: I recieved two stitches on my chin, and there is obvious scarring about the size of a peanut.
TOOTH: I recieved a full crown on my front tooth.
KNEE: MRI's and X-Rays and they show a 3mm "flap" of cartilage under the patella. I've been going to physical therapy for a few months, and believe that arthroscopic surgery going to happen.
As a result of my knee injury, I can no longer ride my bicycle, snowboard, go hiking, play sports, etc. Standing from a seated position, climbing stairs etc causes pain.
Total medical bills so far are about 10k not including surgery, which is about 8k.I hired a personal injury attorney, and am just waiting for all physical therapy/surgery to be completed before the attorney files a demand to the insurance company.
Case sounds like it is worth close to 6 figures. It will be worth more if you hire a personal injury attorney rather than do it yourself.

The response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor is it intended to be anything other than the educated opinion of the author. It should not be relied upon as legal advice. The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change.

The worth of a case is a function of many things including but not limited to:
1- cost of the treatment received;
2- nature and extent of the injuries;
3- the overall recovery period;
4- the nature and extent of the pain suffered;
5- the nature and extent of life disruption a person has suffered;
6- what the injured person did while recovering (were they bed ridden the whole time or went to work?)
7- the way the accident occurred;
8- the existence of any affirmative defenses;
9- the jurisdiction in which a case will be tried should the settlement negotiations fail;
10- the plaintiff and his credibility;
11- the defendant and his credibility;
12- the plaintiff's expectations;
13- possibility of future treatment;
14- prognosis;
15- existence of any permanent medical condition condition;
16- existence of any previous adverse medical history;
and many other factors.
So based on what you have written it is simply impossible to know what your claim is worth.
One thing you should note: if you are surgical candidate and you have not had your surgery as of yet, it would be advisable to wait until after your surgery and the determination of your prognosis to talk settlement with anyone.
All the same, you should have an in person conversation with a local attorney who will be able to give you more accurate guidance as to what to do next. Generally, the initial consultations are free and there is no obligation.
I hope this helps-

Your case should have a value into 6 figures if you have the knee surgery and depending on how bad the scar is. Do not settle your case until you have the knee surgery. You should also go to a plastic surgeon and have him evaluate your scar to determine if cosmetic surgery could help the appearance of the scar. You can add the cost of this surgery to the value of the case and also increase you general damages for pain and suffering.Ask a similar question
Assuming your current lawyer has the proper education and experience in personal injury claims, that person is in a better position to evaluate your claim than a bunch of lawyers on the internet who have not met you, read your records, or seen the photos of your injuries. You hired the lawyer because you trusted him/her. Unless something has changed to make you lose that trust, stick with your lawyer's opinion. If you don't agree with him/her, tell them your concerns and get the answers you are looking for before settling. Good luck.Ask a similar question

As a San Francisco bicycle attorney, I am glad that you have retained an attorney to help you with this claim. The value of the case depends on many factors. The fact that you are in San Francisco and have bicycle claim is good because San Francisco jurors are generally good for bicyclists and plaintiffs, and are more likely to understand and empathize with your disability from sports. We are an active City and you should be compensated for this disability. Another factor as to the value is the insurance carrier on the other side. certain insurance carriers pay more in settlement than others. What are the offending driver's policy limits? Since you have an attorney, you should ask him or her detailed questions. Each attorney should know the details of their own clients' cases and be able to answer all the tough questions. If they cant answer your questions, you should think about why they can't. I wish you well and hope that you do recover from your injuries and keep biking. Best wishes, Claude WyleAsk a similar question
You need to have the surgery. You also need to have a full report as to future medical needs including the potential for future surgeries, physical therapy, etc. With the right attorney, you could be looking at a settlement range in the six figure amount. On your own, who knows! In my opinion, you will certainly not get the "top dollar" offer without at least the threat of litigation if not actually having filed a lawsuit. You should retain an attorney immediately. The statute of limitations (time deadline for filing a lawsuit) is usually two years from t he date of the accident but can be shorter depending upon any number of factors. You should retain a lawyer immediately. That lawyer should have you examined by a reputable medical expert and a full analysis should be done as to what your future care needs will be. REMEMBER: Once you sign a settlement and release agreement, that is it!! You will never be able to seek any additional compensation at any time in the future no matter what your future medical problems may be.
NOTE: Nothing in this statement is intended to create an attorney client relationship. Attorney does not agree to take any action on this matter unless a written retainer agreement is signed by client. Attorney is solely licensed in the State of California.

Having said this, because we're tucked away in the suburban streets, Tranby also creates a safe and private space for our students to learn and grow. We're not a big campus so our students can enjoy close relationships with our staff. It's not uncommon for students to say they feel like they're walking into someone's home when they return to Tranby for their block study.
Course material designed in consultation with Indigenous Leaders and industry partners: The courses offered at Tranby provide students with the skills and knowledge relevant to practical application when they return to their communities. They also provide students with the confidence to seek employment or further advance their careers.
A learning environment that embraces diversity in thinking: A diverse range of students from various locations in Australia that are able to share their personal experiences with each other and contribute to a unique learning experience.
Small class sizes: We purposely keep a cap on the sizes of our classes at Tranby to ensure that all students are given the attention they deserve to learn and grow.

A well stocked library with an on-campus Librarian: Tranby students have access to all material in our well stocked library. The Tranby library holds the largest collection of Indigenous literature outside of the State Library of New South Wales. We have a volunteer librarian available two days a week as extra support for students in locating resources.
Learning support: Each student at the commencement of their block will sit down with the Student Support Team to establish a learning plan that covers the student's learning needs, support and goals. As part of this, tutors can be matched with students where needed under the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme, and we have a tutor available one afternoon a week for students to drop in and see for any questions.
Opportunity to travel to other countries: Overseas field trips that provide students with first hand experience of Indigenous education in other countries.
Recognition of Achievement: A formal graduation ceremony is held on campus at the completion of the course. Local members of parliament, staff and board members also attend to support. There are also various awards Tranby offers that students can aim for.
Guest speakers: We host a range of guest speakers during block for our students to facilitate personal growth and explore resilience topics such as goal setting, managing family relationships and healthy eating.

Linda Akrasi Kotey
The Attorney General (A-G) and Minister for Justice, Betty Mould Iddrisu, has told Parliament that due to Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) Scheme between Ghana and the United States, she was unable to disclose to the House the outcome of investigations into the Kosmos and EO Group.
Responding to a question on the outcome of investigations by the United States Department of Justice on the Kosmos and EO Group's affair yesterday, Mrs. Mould-Iddrisu stated that the Criminal Division of the US Department of Justice asked for assistance from the A-G's office, which is the national authority for Ghana, under the Mutual Legal Assistance Scheme (MLA) concerning the activities of Kosmos Energy and the E. O. Group.
She said, in a letter dated May 12, 2010, the Department of Justice told the A-G's office that it had closed the enquiry into the matter, and that they did not intend to take any further enforcement action.
They added that should additional information or evidence be made available to them, they may re-open an enquiry into the matter for reasons of strict confidentiality for Mutual Legal Assistance requests.
"This is the only information that I am able to provide presently, as to the nature of the investigations by the US Department of Justice," the Attorney-General told the House.
She explained that investigations by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of Ghana into activities of the E.O. Group, and related companies in particular, were still ongoing.
The CID, she said, was conducting investigations into the activities surrounding the acquisition of 3.5% carried shares of the EO Group and related companies.
Responding to further questions as to whether it was a member of the jubilee fields which instigated the investigations of the US into activities of the EO Group and Kosmos, the A-G stated that the contents of Mutual Legal Assistance are confidential, as such she could not take further questions.
She reiterated to the members that there was an ongoing arbitration in respect of some other matters, as such her office attempted to lay some aspects of the MLA in court.
They were not dealt with lightly, because even disclosing contents of the MLA in court could be pre-judicial to an ongoing investigation.
The Minister also told the House that the Justice for All Programme, which allows the courts to sit at the various prisons to review the warrants of remand inmates, was still ongoing, and had not been discouraged, or abandoned.
Responding to a question as to when the system would be adopted, the A-G said when she assumed office, she took the project to another level, by causing a high court level dialogue to be instituted.
This is the periodic meeting of all the heads of institutions involved in criminal justice delivery, to address issues pertaining to criminal justice delivery.
The Minister of Justice said a task force had been set up, chaired by a retired Supreme Court Judge and the Deputy Attorney General, to oversee the activities of the remand review project under the "Justice For All Programme."
She recalled that in 2007, there were four sittings held in the then James Fort Prisons, and two subsequent sittings at the Nsawam Prisons in 2008. In 2009, there were three sittings at the Nsawam Prisons.
The Attorney General maintained that this year, twelve special courts had been set up to sit in the Nsawam Prisons, and that cases which qualified to be dealt with under the project, had been handled.
At the end of the sittings, 18 remand prisoners were tried and sentenced, 68 discharged, and 19 granted bail.
She said there had been cases of recidivism amongst those released, as 13 of them had been alleged to have committed fresh offences after their release, and had been re-arrested.
One of them was killed in a shootout with the police in a foiled robbery attempt.

The Prussian deportations (or: Prussian expulsions, Polish: rugi pruskie) were mass expulsions of Poles (and, to a lesser extent, Jews) from Prussia in 1885-1890. More than 30,000 Poles with Austrian or Russian citizenship were deported from the Prussian part of divided Poland to the respective Austrian and Russian parts. The deportation was carried out in an inhumane way and was based on an ethnic discrimination principle. The expulsion was condemned by the Polish public as well as the federal German parliament. The expulsion also contributed to the worsening of the German-Russian relations. In the aftermath, Poles without German citizenship were again allowed to work and reside in the German Empire in all seasons but the winter.
Agriculture in the eastern provinces of Prussia was to a high degree based on large-area manors owned by German junkers, who employed thousands of immigrant Poles from the Russian and Austrian part of partitioned Poland. Also, the growing industrial region of Upper Silesia attracted workers from there. At the same time, parts of the local German and Polish population moved to more industrialized western areas of Germany (Ostflucht). Although no anti-German political activity of the immigrants was noted, the resulting increase of the Polish population alarmed nationalist German circles, including Germany's chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
The expulsion order of 1885 and its implementation
On 26 March 1885, the minister of internal affairs of Prussia[who?] ordered provincial authorities to expel abroad all Poles and Jews with Russian citizenship. In July 1885, the expulsion order was extended to include Austrian citizens also. Additionally, the authorities were obliged to watch that in future no "undesirable foreigners" would settle on those territories[1].
The order was executed on all non-Prussian citizens, regardless of year-long residence or previous service in the Prussian Army, and despite their state of health, age or sex. The expellees were "driven in mass towards the eastern border under blows of gendarmes' rifle butts"[2]. Fatal incidents were noted[1] as the expulsion was carried in winter time.
In the initial months nearly 26,000 persons[1] were expelled from eastern provinces of Prussia, mainly workers and craftsmen employed there. The expulsions were continued in subsequent years, so until 1890 the number of expelled persons exceeded 30,000.[2][3] Until 1890 the border of Prussia was closed to immigrants of Polish ethnicity.[1]
Effects on public opinion
The expulsion left a strong impression on the public opinion of Poland, Germany and Europe.[2] Alfred von Waldersee, who in principle agreed to the necessity of the expulsion, approved of "incredible harshness" (German: unglaubliche Härte) in individual cases. Schweinitz, then German ambassador in Russia, said upon reflection: When some day the great chancellor resigns, then many people will feel ashamed and they will mutually reproach themselves with the meanness of their grovelling before his mighty will. I am touched at the most by the unwise and to no purpose cruel order of the expulsions.[2]
The matter was laid before the parliament of the German Empire. A question was asked by Polish MP's and it was supported by the Centre Party, Social Democratic Party and the progressives. The leader of the Social Democratic Party Wilhelm Liebknecht called the chancellor to withdraw the steps which might cause international complications and bring down repressive measures upon Germans living abroad. Ansfeld, a progressive, put in a resolution that the expulsion was not justified by the national interest, it was contrary to humanitarian reasons and posed a threat to the welfare of the Empire's citizens. Ludwig Windthorst of the Centre Party put in a supplementary motion to the same effect. On 16 January 1886 the parliament of the German Empire condemned the expulsion with a great majority of voices.[2] Nevertheless the parliamentary resolution was neglected by the Prussian government.
A similar question was asked by Polish MP's and the Centre Party in the parliament of Prussia, but the majority of voices to condemn the expulsions was not obtained here, because political forces of anti-Polish orientation were represented much stronger in the Prussian parliament than in the parliament of the German Empire[3].
Influence on German relations with Russia
The formerly good relations between Germany and Russia worsened in the 1880s due to more nationalist trends in Russian policy. German minorities in the Russian Empire, including Baltic and Russian-born Germans as well as recent German immigrants faced sentiments of both the government and parts of the public supporting the idea of Pan-Slavism.
With that background in mind, the German ambassador in Russia, Schweinitz, advised Bismarck to abstain from the expulsions, anticipating they would provoke supporters of Pan-Slavism and entail repressions against German settlers in Russia[4].
In general, the expulsions met with disapproval in the government circles of Russia. Dmitry Tolstoy, a conservative and the minister of internal affairs, acknowledged Bismarck's anti-Polish motivation and tried to procure a good reception for the events in Russia, but unofficially gave ambassador Schweinitz to understand that Bismarck had committed a grave mistake as such measures were unnecessary.[5]. Also Nikolay Giers, the minister of foreign affairs of Russia, told that Bismarck, by his own conduct, had aggravated already existing hostile feelings towards German colonists in Russia, had set a bad example to be followed, and had spread the seeds of new ethnic antagonisms in the future.[5] Bismarck himself expressed to ambassador Schweinitz his disappointment, stating that "the Russians showed less satisfaction because of our expulsions than I had expected".[5]
Soon afterward, the Russian government imposed legal restrictions on acquisition and lease of land by Germans in Russia, thus limiting the German colonisation movement in the Russian-controlled part of Poland.[5]
Thus, contrary to Bismarck's original intentions, the expulsion contributed to the worsening of German-Russian relations and the erosion of their traditional cooperation - a shift in Russia's policy, which finally led to the creation of the Franco-Russian Alliance then transformed into Entente, which battled the German Empire during World War I from 1914 to 1918.
Softening of expulsion policy since 1890
Later on, the need for cheaper labour by German landlords and industry prevailed, thus the policy of the Prussian government in this question had to be softened. In 1890 a new order was issued to allow employment of foreigners of Polish ethnicity except in the period between 20 December to 1 February of each subsequent year, which measure was intended to force the workers to periodically return abroad, thus preserving their status of seasonal workers and preventing the continuity of their inhabitance in Prussia. Such a system of annual winter expulsions was adapted to the needs of the landlords, but was harmful to Upper Silesian industry, which used to disobey the order frequently, with the silent tolerance of Prussian authorities, or to enforce its temporary suspension. [6] Only unmarried persons were accepted and they were often separated from the local native Polish population[7].
Further Polish immigration to Prussia until 1914
Since 1905 a semi-government agency, called the "Head Office of Farm Workers" took up the engagement of workers from outside of Germany. Labour contracts gave opportunity for many corrupt practices to the detriment of workers. The immigrant worker was poorly paid, exploited and - in practice - totally unprotected. Nevertheless the influx of candidates was always huge and in the eve of World War I the number of immigrant workers exceeded 500,000 persons, 80% of them from the Russian-controlled part of Poland. Approximately 200,000 of them worked in the eastern provinces of Prussia. With a low living standard and intensive work, a male worker could save 100-150 Marks per year, while a female worker could save 50-100 Marks per year[8].
Place in Polish national traditions
The Prussian deportations serve as a national symbol for Poles of the anti-Polish policies of Prussia, the German Empire, and Otto von Bismarck during the time that Poland was divided.

A spell to reverse the Awakening Spell
Prue and Phoebe Halliwell
Good Magic
To Reverse Awakening Spell is a spell written in the Warren Book of Shadows. It is the reversal spell for the Awakening Spell.

In 2000, Piper Halliwell became infected with Oroya Fever. In order to save their sister's life, Prue and Phoebe cast the Awakening Spell. However, as a side effect, the spell animated the Ninja Doll they used in the ritual and it began spreading the disease. In order to stop an outbreak, the sisters realized they had to reverse the awakening spell with this spell. Prue astral projected to the manor from their quarantine room and she and Phoebe cast the spell. Piper then fell into a coma again and nearly died, though Leo Wyatt healed her before her spirit could move on.[1]

Tenuta di Biserno Campo di Sasso Insoglio del Cinghiale 2008
Other Red Blends from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Intense ruby with flecks of purple. The nose is intensely fruity with a hint of spicy oak and licorice. The palate is balanced and harmonious, with the rich fruit being balanced by ripe, round tannins. Insoglio will gain in complexity as it matures in bottle.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2008 Insoglio del Cinghiale emerges from the glass with rather assertive aromatics, including grilled herbs, blackberry jam, smoke and scorched earth. Plums melt into wild cherries and an assortment of other dark fruit in this plump, juicy red. Some of the intensity of the fruit tapers off on the mid-palate, leading to a finish that is a touch slender. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2018. "
Wine Spectator - "Lovely blueberry aromas, with hints of meat, follow through to a full body. Offers soft and silky tannins, as well as notes of currant bush and hints of fresh herbs. Better than 2007. Best from 2011 through 2016. 17,300 cases made. "
Tenuta di Biserno Winery
Marchese Lodovico Antinori discovered the property of Tenuta di Biserno near Bibbona, in the Alta Maremma area of Tuscany, in 1994, while looking for additional land to expand his Tenuta dell'Ornellaia vineyard. Given its proximity to Bolgheri, it is not surprising he was at first struck by the similarity in terroir. What he found in Bibbona, however, had so much potential, he was inspired to develop a quite different plan. With more hills and stones than nearby Bolgheri, this land appeared to be ideally suited to produce a new and different wine. In 2001 Lodovico and his brother, Piero, established Tenuta di Biserno as an elite wine estate.
"One of the big developments is the release of two vintages of a new wine from Tenuta di Biserno. Biserno is the new family-owned winery of brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori, located just outside the appellation of Bolgheri… I find the style of the property's wines already to be a fascinating combination of Ornellaia's and Sassicaia's, emphasizing the generosity of the former and the firmness and backbone of the latter."
Wine Spectator
James Suckling
October 31, 2007 View all Tenuta di Biserno Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

One of my all time favorite meals. Make sure you pour off most of the bacon grease before cooking the shrimp.
Shrimp and Grits
4 cups water
Salt and pepper
1 cup stone-ground grits
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 slices bacon, chopped
4 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 cup thinly sliced scallions
1 large clove garlic, minced
Bring water to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Add grits and cook until water is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheese.
Rinse shrimp and pat dry. Fry the bacon in a large skillet until browned; drain well. In grease, add shrimp. Cook until shrimp turn pink. Add lemon juice, chopped bacon, parsley, scallions and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes.
Spoon grits into a serving bowl. Add shrimp mixture and mix well. Serve immediately.

BBQ Shrimp & Pineapple Kabobs
Amy - amylz
Kraft 2 servings, one kabob each
6 large shrimp (1/4 lb.), peeled, deveined
6 chunks fresh pineapple (1-1/2 inch)
6 squares green pepper (1-1/2 inch)
6 wedges onion (1-inch wide)
1/4 cup KRAFT Teriyaki Sesame Ginger Barbecue Sauce
PREHEAT grill to medium-high heat. Using four long wooden skewers, place two skewers, side-by-side on clean work surface. THREAD shrimp onto each set of two parallel skewers alternately with the pineapple, peppers and onions. (You will have two kabobs.) GRILL kabobs 4 to 6 min. or until shrimp turn pink, turning and brushing occasionally with the barbecue sauce. Serve over hot cooked rice.
NOTES: Substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, for the shrimp.

Place the shrimp and lemon wedges in a single layer in a large glass baking dish or a deep-sided jelly roll type pan. For 4 lbs, you'll probably need two 9x13 casserole dishes. Then combine the rest of the ingredients....pour over shrimp and lemon wedges. Bake at 450 for about 15 minutes until the shrimp are pink. Be sure so stir a couple times so that all the shrimp are covered. I serve it straight from the baking dish with a big spoon so people can scoop out shrimp and the "sauce".

History of Germany
To a pre-POD history, see wikipedia:History of Germany
After WW1
After the German loss in the war, Fascism still grows, but instead of the hatred of Communism, Hitler used his anger against Britain, France and other western nations. Hitler still enters into World War II, but without an Anti-Comintern Pact and the need of a Non-Aggression Treaty with the Soviet Union.
Hitler then would be able to take the British Isles and Africa. Japan sees no need of Pearl Harbor attacks and the US doesn't get into the war. Hitler's Lebensraum doesn't include Russia. Therefore, Germany didn't invade its neighbour and kept in peace with it.
After the German invasion of Africa and Great Britain in 1943, Germany became the world's superpower, comprising about 25 million sq km and about half of the world's population. After the war, the government began their "Nazi policies", such as mandatory atheism and persecution of Jews and other minorities (which led to a massive migration of Jews to the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, making it declare independence becoming the Republic of Judea).
Seven years after the war, corruption and the lack of civil rights have destroyed Germany from inside. A crisis was installed and people lost hope in the government. At the outset of 1952, an anti-government organization named Rotfrontkämpferbund or the Alliance of the Red-Front Fighters was created. This left-wing movement started to gain force incredibly fast, and, on 7 October 1952, the Revolutionaries took over Berlin, which became known as the "Sozirev", creating a new form of government.
Non-democratic democracy, non-dictatorial dictatorship
After the establishment of the new government, a new type of democracy was used. The germans hadn't forgotten the tragical result of the Weimar Republic and was not confidence about a full multi-party democracy. So, in the new created People's Chamber decided to create a new type of elections, the German Democracy. The German Democracy, like in OTL Soviet Democracy, worked under a one-party system, the KPD, but with elected representatives and even secret ballots.
German Perestroika
This new type of democracy started to reconstruct an economy in ruins and restructure freedom of speech and other democratic values. The negotiations with other countries started in weeks after the coup. The Christmas of 1952 the Berlin Accords was signed to give England and Wales (at the time the queen was exiled in Canada) back to the UK and give sovereignty to Africa, creating the African Democratic Republic.
Present and Future
Today, the Great German Republic is one of the rarest examples of working socialism and proof that socialism alongside with Capitalism can work together for the best of the people.

She is the Person you need on your side.
I first hired Ms Fedrigon in 2006
I utilized Ms Fedrigon's services for my Custody (ongoing) and let me be clear - even though I am her client and my needs do take a priority - she is MOST concerned with my Child's welfare and needs foremost.
Her style is intelligent and aggressive, but most effective!
I do recommend her and I recommend her OFTEN to anyone that needs help.
I trust her with my Families needs.
Posted by anonymous
I met Ms. Fedrigon in 2006 and she handled matters expediently and I was well satisfied with the outcome. She was honest about the chances of successful litigation, potential outcomes, cost and just what was expected of me in court and my obligations. We have since used this firm for many, many other legal concerns and have recommended at least a half dozen of our friends to this practice, all of whom have had similar experiences.
Living in such a small town, it is important to have an attorney well respected by not only the courts but their peers and I am certain Ms. Fedrigon has achieved that respect and admiration. She is trustworthy, honest and a revered attorney in our town.
Ms. Fedrigon was the second attorney I hired to handle custody litigation and while I was unimpressed with the first (billing a lot of hours with very little shown results and work), Kim Fedrigon is quite the opposite. She not only kept me informed of all the on goings for the case, but let me well in advance of any delays, pitfalls or other scenarios which may take more time to litigate.
Posted by Ralph
Told me my case did not take priority when a court appointed therapist said my kid was being abused. Did not return my calls for a week. Did not return my emails for a week. Then didn't address the things we talked about but did just the opposite. Then I emailed her to ask why? She told me she was busy with other cases and I would need to wait. Then charged me for all the time. Overcharged me. Then double charged me for the initial visit that I was told would be $100. I was charged $268. I was then sent a bill that took up all my remaining retainer for work not performed. I have the emails to prove it. If you are a concerned parent as I am, find someone else.

BlackBerry Outage Affects 10 Million Users
Just when it seemed things couldn't get much worse for BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion (RIM), the company has been slammed by a massive service outage that has left smartphone users around the world unable to make calls or send text messages.
Reports suggest BlackBerry users in Europe, the Mid East, South America and Africa have been the hardest-hit by the recent outage.
It's estimated that about 10 million Research in Motion customers are affected by the outage, which started early Monday morning, Eastern Standard Time. The problem has prevented BlackBerry users from completing phone calls, accessing emails, browsing the web, and sending instant messages via BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). (Source: computerworld.com)
RIM's Inconsistency Frustrates Users
Research in Motion is inconsistent in dealing with the issue, which compounds the problem.
On Monday the company announced it had fixed the outage, only to receive millions of messages from users who found their situation considerably different. Even now the Waterloo, Canada-based firm has not revealed when it may be resolved.
Specifically, it seems European, Middle Eastern, African, Indian, Brazilian, Chilean, and Argentinean users are all affected by the issue. North American BlackBerry owners appear to have been spared the frustration.
The company offered this explanation for the problem: "Although the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested... As a result, a large backlog of data was generated and we are now working to clear that backlog and restore normal service as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience and we will continue to keep you informed." (Source: cnet.com)
Customers Consider Switch
Understandably, many RIM customers aren't satisfied with the explanation.
Users expressed frustration with the outage which, unfortunately, is not the first to strike RIM's BlackBerry service in recent years. A number of Twitter users weighing in on the issue suggested they were seriously considering making the switch to RIM's major competitors -- meaning they might just ditch the BlackBerry for an Apple iPhone or Google Android phone.
Overall, it's not good news for a firm that only a few months ago was forced to lay off thousands of employees due to sliding smartphone sales.
As of Wednesday morning, the problem has spread to North America as well, with BlackBerry users reporting difficulty accessing BBM (BlackBerry messenger) and emails.

Speaking in Rome at the weekend, Senator Paolo Guzzanti claimed he could be the next man to be poisoned because his name was mentioned in a list of people that the Russian secret service was allegedly targeting. He said the journalist Anna Politskovskaya and Alexander Litvinenko had already been killed. "And now there's Scaramella," he said. "I'm worried and I'm also worried for my family."
His name appeared on two emails, said to have been written by an agent of the FSB, the Russian agency formerly known as the KGB, which lists those who have become a thorn in the side of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. It also gives details of a potential assassin, a judo expert who speaks English and Portuguese.
Mr Guzzanti, who added to alarm about Mr Scaramella's condition by claiming that the 36-year-old had been told he would eventually die from polonium contamination - a fact not confirmed by doctors - said he himself would undergo medical checks as a precaution.
The Italian politician remains at the centre of controversy in his own country about his role as president of a parliamentary commission set up in 2001 to investigate KGB activities in Italy. It has been claimed that he and other centre-right politicians used the commission as a means of trying to discredit leftwing opposition MPs, including the now prime minister, Romano Prodi, by claiming they had Russian connections.
Italian news agencies have reported that staff at a court on the island of Ischia, where Mr Scaramella attended a hearing earlier this month, are refusing to return to work until they have safety assurances.

Percutaneous ultrasonographically guided liver punctures: an analysis of 1961 patients over a period of ten years
Ultrasonographically guided punctures of the liver represent a decisive tool in the diagnosis of many diseases of the liver. Objective of the study was to determine the extent to which the complication rate for ultrasonographically guided punctures of the liver is affected by less comprehensively studied risk factors.
A total of 2,229 liver biopsies were performed in 1,961 patients (55.5% males; 44.5% females). We recorded actual complications and assessed the following risk factors: needle gauge, puncture technique, examiner experience, coagulation status, puncture target (focal lesion versus parenchyma), lesion size, patient sex and age.
he rate of complications stood at 1.2% (n = 27), of which 0.5% (n = 12) were major and 0.7% (n = 15) minor complications. A significant increase in complications involving bleeding was observed with larger-gauge needles compared with smaller-gauge needles and for cutting biopsy punctures compared with aspiration biopsies (Menghini technique). In the bivariate analysis complications were 2.7 times more frequent in procedures performed by experienced examiners compared with those with comparatively less experience. Lower values for Quick's test and higher partial thromboplastin times were associated with a higher rate of bleeding. Neither the puncture target, lesion size or patient sex exerted any measurable influence on the puncture risk. Advanced patient age was associated with a higher rate of complications involving bleeding.
Our study helps to establish the importance of potential and less comprehensively studied risk factors and may contribute to further reduction in complications rates in routine clinical practice.
Ultrasonographically guided percutaneous liver biopsies are an important diagnostic and therapeutic option in routine clinical practice
Objective of the present study was to establish the routine clinical relevance of these factors on the basis of prospectively collected data in a large patient collective in order to further minimize complication rates and assure the greatest possible safety for patients.
A biopsy was defined as an intervention in which a single puncture target was approached through a single puncture channel using one or more puncture needles of the same or different diameter; one or more techniques could be used. The present report gives the external diameter of puncture needles in millimeters.
Major complications were defined as post-intervention events that were clinically relevant and required therapeutic intervention (e.g. blood transfusion, drainage etc.). Minor complications were events that were not clinically relevant and did not require specific therapeutic intervention.
Patient selection
A total of 1,961 patients underwent 2,229 liver biopsies in our institution's department of ultrasonography during the period of September 1999 through November 2009. In 31.5% (n = 702) of cases, liver biopsies were performed as out-patient procedures, while in 68.5% (n = 1527), biopsies were performed in inpatients.
The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration and Good Clinical Practice. It was approved by the ethics committee of the State Medical Council of Baden-Württemberg (74/12).
Data collection
The following parameters were prospectively recorded: needle diameter, puncture technique, examiner's experience (inexperienced: < 150 liver biopsies; experience: ≥ 150 liver biopsies), patient's coagulation status (platelet count, Quick's test, partial thromboplastin time [PTT]), target of puncture (focal lesion vs. parenchyma), size of focal lesions (size categories: < 2 cm, 2–5 cm, > 5 cm), patient's sex, patient's age (age groups: < 70 years; ≥ 70 years). For patients with complications, certain coagulation parameters were obtained retrospectively from the hospital's medical record system.
Puncture requirements
The following criteria had to be met before each puncture: clear indication with therapeutic consequence; adequate, current coagulation status (platelets ≥ 70,000/μl, Quick's test value ≥ 70%, PTT < 50 seconds) no use of anticoagulants, and written consent signed by the patient one day prior to the procedure. In rare cases and after careful consideration of risks and benefits punctures were also performed in patients not meeting the required coagulation criteria. The greatest deviations from the routinely required coagulation parameters were observed in patients in critical condition; they are presented in Table
All punctures involving fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or cutting biopsy (CB) were performed under ultrasonographic guidance (Philips HDI 3000/5000 Sono CT; C5-2 curved array transducers and biopsy guidance). The aspiration biopsy using the Menghini technique (ABM) was performed blind following initial ultrasonographic monitoring of the puncture track. The ABM was performed using a HEPAFIX Lok G 17 1.4-mm needle (B. Braun Melsungen AG, Melsungen, Germany). The intrahepatic phase of the needle insertion lasted 1–3 seconds.
For the FNAC, examiners used a puncture needle (Chiba, diameter: 0.7 mm, length: 220 mm; Bard Angiomed, Karlsruhe, Germany). A spinal needle (1.2 × 90 mm; Becton Dickinson S.M., Madrid, Spain) served as a leader canula. Following insertion of the leader canula, puncture material was obtained by the process of "needling".
CB was performed in side notch technique using a fully automated biopsy pistol (Manan Medical Products, Inc., Wheeling, IL, USA) using Pro Mag 1.2 × 160 mm needles (Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Vancouver, BC, Canada). The intrahepatic phase of both FNAC and CB required about 5–30 seconds. When during the same liver biopsy both a CB and FNAC were to be performed, the FNAC was always performed first.
Patient monitoring after puncture
Following FNAC, patients were required to maintain bed rest for four hours (three hours after CB and ABM). In addition, they were requested to apply pressure to the puncture site with a sandbag for one hour (for 30 minutes after CB and ABM) and refrain from oral intake during the same period. Blood pressure and pulse readings were obtained every 60 minutes (every 30 minutes after CB and ABM) and recorded. Following final complete blood count, physical examination by the treating physician and final ultrasonographic examination following CB and ABM, patients were discharged. No sonographic examination was routinely performed following FNAC. Patients with acute pain or circulatory instability following discharge were advised to seek immediate medical attention in the Emergency Department.
Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using the SAS statistical software version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Data was analyzed descriptively with respect to the complication rate and bleeding rate, absolute and relative frequency, mean, standard deviation, and maximum and minimum values. Potential risk factors were assessed for correlation with complication rate and bleeding rate using the χ2-test. If the absolute number of complications was too small, Fisher's Exact Test was used. Subsequently, bivariate logistic regression was performed. Due to the small number of cases a multivariate analysis could not be performed. All statistical tests were two tailed. The significance level was set at α = 5% (p < 0.05).
A total of 2,229 liver biopsies were performed in 1,961 individual patients aged 18 to 96 years (mean 53.4 ± 16.1 years). 55.5% (n = 1,238) of liver biopsies were performed in male patients, 44.5% (n = 991) in female patients.
Hepatic lesions of unclear malignancy represent the most frequent indication for liver biopsy (50.5%). Punctures are also performed for therapy monitoring and staging of hepatitis (Table
Complication rate was 1.2% (n = 27) with major complications in 0.5% (n = 12) and minor complications in 0.7% (n = 15). Bleeding rate was 0.9% (n = 20) with major bleeding in 0.4% (n = 8) and minor bleeding in 0.5% (n = 12). There were no puncture-related deaths. The complications are presented in Table
Overall, 39.8% (n = 1064) of the punctures were performed with FNAC, 33.2% (n = 888) with CB and 26.9% (n = 719) with ABM. The respective frequencies of the documented techniques together with the respective needle diameters are presented in Table
Comparison of CB with FNAC
With respect to needle gauge, a significantly higher bleeding rate of 2.7% (4/148) was reported for biopsies of focal lesions using CB (needle diameter 1.2 mm) compared with biopsies using FNAC (needle diameter 0.7 mm) with a bleeding rate of 0.0% (0/585). Biopsies of focal lesions using both FNAC (needle diameter 0.7 mm) and CB (needle diameter 1.2 mm) also are associated with a bleeding rate of 2.2% (8/368) which is also higher that that observed for biopsies at which only FNAC (needle diameter 0.7 mm) was used (Table
Comparison of CB (1.2 mm) with ABM (1.4 mm)
With respect to biopsy technique, biopsies of the hepatic parenchyma using only CB (needle diameter 1.2 mm) were associated with a bleeding rate of 1.8% (5/279). This was six times higher than the bleeding rate of 0.3% (2/717) associated with ABM (needle diameter 1.4 mm; Odds ratio [OR] = 6.52, 95%-confidence interval [CI] = [1.26-33.83],
Examiner experience
In 60.9% (n = 1,358) of biopsies, examiners were considered "inexperienced". A complication rate of 0.7% (n = 10) was reported for these biopsies . By comparison, the 39.1% (n = 871) of biopsies performed by "experienced" examiners were associated with a 2.7-times higher complication rate of 2.0% (n = 17) at bivariate regression (OR = 2.68, 95% CI [1.22-5.89],
Coagulation parameters
Coagulation parameters (platelet count, Quick's test and PTT) were fully documented for 34.0% (n = 757) of biopsies of the liver. Coagulation parameters were documented or retrospectively ascertained in 90% (18/20) of patients with bleeding complications. Bleeding rate for biopsies performed in patients meeting full coagulation criteria stood at 2.3% (16/710) compared with 4.3% (2/47) for biopsies performed in patients not fully meeting these criteria. This difference was not statistically significant on bivariate logistic regression (
Puncture targets
Two separate analyses were performed to assess the influence of the nature of the target lesion (focal lesions vs. parenchyma) on bleeding rates: the first included all biopsies of the liver, while the second focused on those biopsies involving CB (needle diameter 1.2 mm). By excluding the factors "needle diameter" and "technique", exact comparability could be achieved. Neither analysis found statistically significant differences with respect to bleeding rate for the different puncture targets (
Diameter of lesions
Diameter of the target lesion was documented for 1,090 biopsies. Broken down according to size, 18.0% (n = 196) of biopsies were performed in patients with target lesions < 2 cm in diameter with a bleeding rate of 1.0% (n = 2); 56.2% (n = 613) with lesions 2–5 cm in diameter with a bleeding rate of 1.3% (n = 8); and 25.8% (n = 281) with lesions > 5 cm in diameter with a bleeding rate of 1.1% (n = 3). With respect to bleeding rate, no statistically significant difference between the three size categories could be ascertained using Fisher's exact test (
Sex and age
Similarly, bivariate logistic regression failed to demonstrate any difference for complication rate of 0.8% (n = 10) among 1,238 biopsies in male patients vs. 1.7% (n = 17) among 991 biopsies in female patients (
A comparison of complication rates with other studies can be done most objectively when consideration is limited to complications involving bleeding. Our bleeding rates of 0.4% for major bleeding and 0.5% for minor bleeding fall toward the lower end of the ranges reported in the literature for both major (0.0-5.3%) and minor (0.0-5.9%) bleeding
With respect to needle gauge, our findings correspond with data reported from two studies using anesthetized pigs in which bleeding rate correlated with increasing diameter of the puncture needles
In the case of punctures of the hepatic parenchyma, bleeding rate associated with CB (needle diameter 1.2 mm) was approximately six-times higher than that reported for ABM (needle diameter 1.4 mm). This correlation has not previously been adequately explained although this had been suggested by data reported for early retrospective studies
An important consideration in the comparison of these two methods is the fact that, unlike ultrasonographically guided CB, ABM is performed with ultrasonographic support but not under real time conditions. However, real-time imaging does not appear to reduce the bleeding risk: significant bleeding usually results from arterial sources but small arteries cannot be visualized at ultrasound. By contrast, the constant ultrasonographic monitoring does reduce the risk of injury to the lung and gallbladder
With respect to examiner experience, a direct comparison between studies is difficult due to differing definitions regarding the respective examiners' degree of experience. Only the multi-center study reported by Cadranel et al.
In our collective, however, complication rate increase in relation to examiner experience and do so in a statistically significant manner. This unexpected observation can be explained by the fact that difficult, "high risk" biopsies are only performed by experienced examiners; the elevated complication rate can thus be attributed to the more difficult puncture conditions. Inexperienced examiners are initially assigned patients with secure puncture conditions and perform procedures under supervision. In our opinion, the clear assignment of each biopsy to the corresponding degree of examiner experience serves to underscore our findings and could be interpreted to indirectly support the findings of other authors that examiner inexperience is not a risk factor for increased complication rates
Our data support the conclusion of other publications that normal or only mildly reduced coagulation parameters do not prevent bleeding complications
A comparison of punctures of focal lesions vs. parenchymal punctures failed to document an increase bleeding rate. This supports data published by Frieser et al. in the only study available to us that addresses this issue
In comparison with other studies
In conclusion, the findings of the present study show elevated rates of bleeding when larger-caliber puncture needles are used. A comparison of CB with ABM also showed an increased risk for CB. A lesser degree of examiner experience, on the other hand, did not represent a risk factor for elevated complication rates. The coagulation parameters thromboplastin and PTT significantly affect the bleeding rate. A similar influence was not observed for platelet count. For the factors puncture target (focal lesion vs. parenchyma), patient sex and lesion side, for all of which there is a general paucity of available data, our findings did not demonstrate any significant differences with respect to bleeding rate or complication rate. Advanced age, however, was clearly associated with an increased rate of bleeding complications.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Currently standing on different ends of the spectrum, Saturday's Michigan/Minnesota battle has a lot of intrigue for very different reasons.
The Gophers, currently 7-9 in the Big Ten and 18-11 overall, are playing for a spot in the NCAA tournament, licking their chops at the prospect of upsetting No. 16 Michigan on the road securing what would be a big addition to their resume.
"We obviously have been there so I know they are going to come in here with the mindset that it is a burn the boats type of idea," Michigan coach John Beilein said Friday. "They have to come in and get wins and as a result we have to understand going into this game, we have to have the same mentality as Michigan State coming in here.
"We're both really playing for something really big."
For the Wolverines, fresh off a buzzer-beating win at Purdue, the opportunity is even greater. With a win Saturday at home against the Gophers Michigan would put themselves one win away from clinching at least a share of their first Big Ten regular season championship since 2012.
Though John Beilein has been reserved in his dialogue trying not to look too far ahead, sticking to the one game at a time mentality, the goal is clear.
"When you're at a University that's where you want to be," Beilein said. "You want to be, as you get into March, you want to be in position for a league championship because a league championship usually means an NCAA berth and we all know anything can happen there.
"It's a great step in the right direction and that's the focus right now, win the Big Ten championship, that's our only focus. At the same time through a roll of the ball last year we finished fifth in the league and still had a pretty good year so, while we focus on that, we still try to look at the big picture as well."
Opening up conference play with a 63-60 win at Minnesota back on Jan. 2 that helped springboard Michigan to an 8-0 start in the Big Ten, the Wolverines were very fortunate to walk out of Williams Arena with the victory.
Freshman guard Zak Irvin knocked down five three-point attempts while sophomore Glenn Robinson III missed the final 17:24 of the game after rolling his ankle.
"In that game their pressure bothered us several times during the game," Beilein said. "Of course we're a more veteran backcourt now but they are as well.
"We couldn't get away from them and they were in command a lot of the game. We made a lot of plays and Zak Irvin hit five three's while Glenn Robinson sat on the bench. So, we were in good fortune in that game, to win it."
Minnesota is led by a strong perimeter attack of Andre Hollins, Deandre Mathieu and Austin Hollins, all averaging at least 11 points per game, each shooting over 40-percent from the field.
Inside the Gophers aren't scoring the ball at a tremendous clip but forward Joey King and center Elliott Eliason finish better than 45-percent of their offensive opportunities, Eliason leading Minnesota with 2.2 blocks per game defensively.
"Minnesota presents a lot of challenges," Beilein said. "They change defenses, they get great pressure on the ball, they force turnovers, and they have really veteran guards."
"I love the way their two big men have developed; the two big fellas. Joey King is playing really well for them right now as well and they just, they have a lot of experience and sitting right there with the opportunity to go to the NCAA tournament.
"I'm sure they're going to bring everything they have."

Naturally, as the Christian I was at the time, I looked up a prayer for a guardian angel. I clicked the first link, and started reading, because I was scared ******** of something that had just happened. I will explain that in a later post. I read the prayer aloud. It was strange. It went something like "Ariel creates it. Maya protects it." and so on. The names were sort of older. And this went about forty lines in a *name* *action* "it" kind of style/format, with that being one line. As soon as I had finished reading, I felt a very strange presence behind me. I didn't turn around. Suddenly, it was to my side. facing me. I could see it in my minds eye. It was pale in some places, and a bit tanned in others. This was because it seemed that parts of its flesh was taken from others. there were scars where the flesh was at one point stitched together, but it was rather clean. It wore no clothes, and had no genitalia or anything. It had no freckles, no marks, nothing on its palms, no wrinkles, just those scars. It also was floating. But its face..... It had no eyes. Also, for those who have played Jak and Daxter, you could say it looked like the Oracle. Or maybe comparable to a horse's head. It never has done anything, or said anything, but sometimes, I will feel it's presence, and know it is watching me. Did I get what I asked for? I don't know. next Tags: i | am | watched +14 Views: 3438 Submitted: 02/03/2012 Facebook Twitter Google+ Tumblr Pinterest
