HOUSTON, TX, March 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) Personal injury attorney Clyde J. "Jay" Jackson III, of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto and Friend in Houston, Texas, was honored this month by the State Bar of Texas for his exceptional contributions in 2011 to the organization's legal education efforts. Mr. Jackson was one of only six volunteer lawyers who were recognized by the TexasBarCLE, the division of the bar that provides continuing legal education.
Explaining the significance of the "Standing Ovation" award, TexasBarCLE Director Patrick said, "All of our volunteers deserve our gratitude for contributing to the continuing education of their peers. Nevertheless, some stand out each year for extraordinary dedication and commitment."
"Without volunteers," Nester continued, "CLE from the State Bar couldn't be nearly as high quality, as abundant, or as affordable. Attorney volunteers are the reason TexasBarCLE can claim the slogan, 'Education by the Bar, for the Bar.'"
Attorney Jay Jackson, a first-time course director in 2011, was singled out for exceeding the expectations of the TexasBarCLE staff by going above and beyond numerous times throughout the year. He not only moderated two live three-day events in Houston, he also recruited many of the speakers, wrote an article, and spoke at all four sessions of the popular "Advanced Personal Injury Law" course. An enthusiastic perfectionist, he consistently received excellent speaker evaluations from course attendees.
Mr. Jackson focuses his representation on personal injury law, frequently helping those injured in motor vehicle and trucking accidents, while at work, and by defective products, such as tires, firearms and dangerous medical devices. He works closely with the other injury accident lawyers at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend to protect the rights of people catastrophically injured by the negligence of others. Founded in 1951, the firm has built a reputation as one of the most well-respected and oldest plaintiffs' personal injury law firm in Texas.
To contact attorney Jay Jackson or any of the personal injury lawyers at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend, visit the firm's website at www.abrahamwatkins.com or call 713-222-7211.
The TexasBarCLE is the division of the State Bar of Texas that seeks to provide continuing legal education to attorneys across the state of Texas. To remain licensed in Texas, attorneys must complete 15 hours of continuing legal education credit each year. For more information, visit www.texasbarcle.com.

A hidden architecture: Researchers use novel methods to uncover gene mutations for common diseases
2012-03-26
BOSTON, MA—Human geneticists have long debated whether the genetic risk of the most common medical conditions derive from many rare mutations, each conferring a high degree of risk in different people, or common differences throughout the genome that modestly influence risk.
A new study by Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) researchers has harnessed data and new analysis tools to address this question in four common diseases: rheumatoid arthritis; celiac disease; coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (heart attack); and type 2 diabetes.
The study will ...
Vaccinating chickens could prevent food-borne illness
2012-03-26
A vaccine could be developed to prevent Campylobacter being carried in chickens. This approach could drastically cut the number of cases of food poisoning, saving the UK economy millions each year, says an American scientist presenting his work at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Conference in Dublin.
Food-borne illness costs the UK an estimated £2 billion each year. Campylobacter is the leading cause of food-borne illness and is responsible for about 30% of cases in the UK. Campylobacter jejuni was responsible for more than 371,000 estimated cases in England ...
Single molecules in a quantum movie
2012-03-26
The quantum physics of massive particles has intrigued physicists for more than 80 years, since it predicts that even complex particles can exhibit wave-like behaviour – in conflict with our everyday ideas of what is real or local. An international team of scientists now succeeded in shooting a movie which shows the build-up of a matter-wave interference pattern from single dye molecules which is so large (up to 0.1 mm) that you can easily see it with a camera.
This visualizes the dualities of particle and wave, randomness and determinism, locality and delocalization ...
New Illinois Seatbelt Law Will Increase Safety
2012-03-26
Wearing seatbelts saves lives. A new Illinois seatbelt law intends to get more people wearing seatbelts and thus save more lives.
Starting the first day of 2012 the new seatbelt law requires that all passengers in vehicles need to wear seatbelts with some exceptions. Prior to the new law only passengers in the front seat and children riding in the backseat were required to wear seatbelts. Under the new law everyone in the car needs to wear a seatbelt regardless of age or seat positioning unless they are exempt of the law. A minimum fine of $25 is imposed for violators ...
Scratching the surface of social interaction
2012-03-26
It can be difficult to uncover the behavior of small, shy, nocturnal primates like the brown mouse lemur (Microcebus rufus), especially in the dense rainforests of Madagascar where this lemur lives. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Ecology shows that the social interactions of brown mouse lemurs can be monitored by mapping the transfer of tagged lice.
Brown mouse lemurs are the only known host of the parasitic louse Lemurpediculus verruculosus. The lice have evolved to stay attached to the sparse hair on the lemurs' ears, where they feed ...

Weather records due to climate change: A game with loaded dice
2012-03-26
The past decade has been one of unprecedented weather extremes. Scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany argue that the high incidence of extremes is not merely accidental. From the many single events a pattern emerges. At least for extreme rainfall and heat waves the link with human-caused global warming is clear, the scientists show in a new analysis of scientific evidence in the journal Nature Climate Change. Less clear is the link between warming and storms, despite the observed increase in the intensity of hurricanes.
In 2011 ...
Inner weapons against allergies: Gut bacteria control allergic diseases
2012-03-26
PHILADELPHIA - When poet Walt Whitman wrote that we "contain multitudes," he was speaking metaphorically, but he was correct in the literal sense. Every human being carries over 100 trillion individual bacterial cells within the intestine -- ten times more cells than comprise the body itself.
Now, David Artis, PhD, associate professor of Microbiology, along with postdoctoral fellow David Hill, PhD, from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and collaborators from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and institutions in Japan and Germany, ...

Intervention results in increased use of evidence-based medications for patients with ACS
2012-03-26
Among patients with acute coronary syndromes (such as heart attack or unstable angina) treated at public hospitals in Brazil, implementation of a multifaceted intervention that included educational materials, checklists and reminders resulted in improvement in the use of evidence-based medicines during the first 24 hours of hospitalization, according to a study appearing in JAMA. The study is being published early online to coincide with its presentation at the American College of Cardiology's annual scientific sessions.
