ATLANTIC BEACH, FL, November 05, 2010 (Press-News.org) Since its publication in 2009, Unnatural Deaths has enjoyed a surprisingly wide circulation both inside and outside Maine. Fuller has appeared before enthusiastic audiences at numerous book clubs and libraries. Media reviews have praised the work.
Whether Fuller is discussing the bureaucracy of Federal law enforcement, the general way in which murder investigations are conducted in Maine, or providing a thumbnail sketch of life on Portland's Munjoy Hill, it is clear he has done his homework and his writing, while fiction, rings true. With his skillful use of idiom he deftly sketches his characters so that they immediately materialize in the reader's imagination, and he enlivens his narrative with a sense of humor.
-Fernand LaRochelle, Assistant Attorney General (Retired), Criminal Division, Maine Attorney General's Office
Fuller's debut novel tells a story of murder and related plots by organized crime solved through diligent police work rather than flashes of insight. Yet, due to the author's considerable experience and probing mind, the narrative does not become tedious. He constructs his characters and their subcultures with such skill as to make each incident a story in itself. Particularly well described is the stark contrast between the gangsters' lack of moral sensibilities and the essentially decent ethos of rural Maine people. The novel's setting stimulates the reader to think deeply about how readily the innocent and friendly inhabitants of small-town Maine and their elected officials can be duped into unknowingly supporting the evil of seemingly wholesome, helpful outsiders. One is left with a disturbing sense of vulnerability and a warning to be cautious.
- Henry F. Ryan, M.D., Chief Medical Examiner (Retired), State of Maine.
"An excellent portrayal of diligent police work."
- Kennebec Journal
"Engaging and eminently readable...showcases the best of life in small-town-Maine."
- The Town Line
"A fine job of capturing the interworking of police agencies...excels at developing believable Maine characters."
- Maine Lawyers Review
Unnatural Deaths, in trade paperback form, is available at Amazon.com. BarnesandNoble.com and other on-line booksellers, as well as at your local independent bookstore, for $16.95 plus any applicable sales tax.

Study Finds Teens Frustrated by Lack of Diagnosis
A recent British study found that young cancer patients often feel frustrated that physicians do not take their symptoms seriously and consider cancer as a possible diagnosis. The study looked at the cases of 24 cancer patients between the ages of 16 and 24 years old. It took between eight weeks and 11 years to diagnose each case of cancer. The patients told researchers that they believed that cancer was ruled out as a possibility based on their age alone.

New Jersey Courts Rule on Required Arbitration Agreements for Patients
2010-11-05
New Jersey nursing home residents and medical patients may see less access to the courts for negligence claims after two recent court decisions.
A recent appellate court decision ruled that residents can be required to arbitrate their claims against a nursing home despite a state law to the contrary. Another case held that, under certain circumstances, doctor-patient arbitration agreements are enforceable.

Impaired Driving Charges and Retrograde Analysis
2010-11-05
When Time is an Element of a Crime
Unlike some crimes, impaired driving charges like DUI and drugged driving have an element of timing that any prosecutor must prove to obtain a conviction against an alleged drunk driver.
Under Pennsylvania's DUI statute, title 75 section 3802(a), subdivision (1), "general impairment" is defined as driving, operating or controlling a vehicle "after imbibing a sufficient amount of alcohol such that the individual is rendered incapable of safely driving...". An impaired driver can also be convicted under the "general impairment" subdivision ...
Is Tort Reform Really the Solution to High Health Care Costs?
2010-11-05
According to studies published in the most recent edition of the health care industry journal Health Affairs, medical liability costs (i.e., those spent in defense of, or to prevent, medical malpractice actions) is a mere 2.4 percent of America's overall health care budget. These studies, performed by a joint group of researchers, attorneys and doctors, present conclusions that directly contradict the popular view that medical malpractice/negligence lawsuits are the leading cause of the so-called "health care crisis."
Important findings of the study include:

New IRS Rules for Tax Preparers
2010-11-05
The IRS has issued new rules amending section 1-6109-2, requiring paid tax preparers to be registered with the IRS. The final regulations provide that for tax returns or refund claims filed after December 31, 2010, tax return preparers must obtain and use a preparer tax identification number (PTIN), rather than a social security number (SSN), as the identifying number to be included with the tax return preparer's signature on a tax return or claim for refund.
For some practitioners, a significant change created by this regulation is the requirement that the term "tax ...
