NEW YORK, NY, April 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Law Office of Richard M. Kenny, located in New York City, was hired by Jonathan Zimmerman of Brooklyn in his lawsuit against the New York City Police Department. Attorney Richard M. Kenny has represented injured clients in several high-profile cases throughout New York since 1990.
Zimmerman, 26, sued the New York City Police Department alleging police brutality. Zimmerman was sitting in a parked car with a friend outside her home in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The officers approached Zimmerman's vehicle and told him that he was getting a ticket for being double-parked.
When Zimmerman began to contest the ticket with the officers they ordered him to exit the vehicle. When he refused, one of the officers reached inside the vehicle and removed the keys from the ignition. Zimmerman was also maced while he was still sitting in the car. After being maced, Zimmerman was Tasered and hauled out of the vehicle. He was then Tasered two additional times.
Zimmerman was left with a dime-sized scar after surgery to remove the Taser prong. All charges against him were subsequently dropped. The incident involved officers from the 81st precinct, which has been under fire lately due to allegations that the officers have arrest quotas that need to be filled every month. The Civilian Complaint Review Board did not impose any discipline on the officers involved.
The challenges facing police officers in the city are certainly well-documented, but citizens need to protect themselves as well. To learn more about the services offered by the attorneys at the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny, please visit the firm's website at http://www.rmkinjurylaw.com/.
At the Law Office of Richard M. Kenny, we have helped clients obtain successful verdicts and settlements in cases involving motor vehicle accidents, firefighter and police officer accidents, medical malpractice, civil rights violations and other personal injury claims.

Ancient corals provide insight on the future of Caribbean reefs
2011-04-08
CORAL GABLES (April 7, 2011) -- Climate change is already widely recognized to be negatively affecting coral reef ecosystems around the world, yet the long-term effects are difficult to predict. University of Miami (UM) scientists are using the geologic record of Caribbean corals to understand how reef ecosystems might respond to climate change expected for this century. The findings are published in the current issue of the journal Geology.
The Pliocene epoch--more than 2.5 million years ago--can provide some insight into what coral reefs in the future may look like. ...
Unprepared cities vulnerable to climate change
2011-04-08
BOULDER—Cities worldwide are failing to take necessary steps to protect residents from the likely impacts of climate change, even though billions of urban dwellers are vulnerable to heat waves, sea level rise, and other changes associated with warming temperatures.
A new examination of urban policies by Patricia Romero Lankao at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), in conjunction with an international research project on cities and climate change, warns that many of the world's fast-growing urban areas, especially in developing countries, will likely suffer ...
If plants generate magnetic fields, they're not sayin'
2011-04-08
Searching for magnetic fields produced by plants may sound as wacky as trying to prove the existence of telekinesis or extrasensory perception, but physicists at the University of California, Berkeley, are seriously looking for biomagnetism in plants using some of the most sensitive magnetic detectors available.
In an article that appeared this week in the Journal of Applied Physics, the UC Berkeley scientists describe the instruments they used to look for minuscule magnetic fields around a titan arum – the world's largest flower – during its brief bloom, the interference ...

High-profile panel to address causes, consequences of the politicization of science
2011-04-08
WASHINGTON, April 7, 2011 – Science is playing an increasingly prominent role in many controversial political, religious and socio-economic debates, such as those about embryonic stem cells, genetically modified foods, teaching evolution and climate change. As a result, scientists are finding themselves forced into the fray and frustrated when their data and findings are misunderstood by policymakers and the public and even misrepresented for political gains.
At 12:30 p.m. Sunday, April 10, at the Experimental Biology meeting in the Washington, D.C., Convention Center, ...

Molecules identified that help propel cancer metastasis
2011-04-08
April 7, 2011 – (BRONX, NY) – For many types of cancer, the original tumor itself is usually not deadly. Instead, it's the spread of a tiny subpopulation of cells from the primary tumor to other parts of the body—the process known as metastasis—that all too often kills the patient. Now, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have identified two molecules that enable cancer to spread inside the body. These findings could eventually lead to therapies that prevent metastasis by inactivating the molecules.
The regulatory molecules are involved ...
Long-term study shows that kidney transplants are faring better than previously reported
2011-04-08
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- A new study from Mayo Clinic (http://www.mayoclinic.com/), the largest long-term study of kidney transplant recipients published to date, demonstrates that progressive damage to kidney transplants may be less common and less severe than previously reported.
The study, involving 797 patients transplanted between 1998 and 2004 and followed for at least five years, shows that 87 percent of patients have mild or no signs of progressive scar damage to the transplanted organ when biopsied at one year after transplant. This number decreases only slightly ...
UMMS researchers develop new technology to screen and analyze genetic mutations
2011-04-08
WORCESTER, Mass. – A single change to even one of the thousands of DNA codes that make up each gene in the human genome can result in severe diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy or Huntington's Disease. A similarly minor change in the DNA of a virus or bacteria can give rise to drug resistant strains that are difficult for physicians to treat with standard drug therapies. For these reasons, scientists have long sought ways to study the effects genetic mutations can have on an organism but have been hampered in these efforts by an inability to easily ...
Soy increases effectiveness of radiation at killing lung cancer, Wayne State study shows
2011-04-08
DETROIT—A component in soybeans increases radiation's ability to kill lung cancer cells, according to a Wayne State University study published in the April 2011 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, the official monthly journal of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer.
"To improve radiotherapy for lung cancer, we are studying the potential of natural non-toxic components of soybeans, called soy isoflavones, to augment the effect of radiation against the tumor cells and at the same time protect normal lung cells against radiation injury," said ...
