COOK COUNTY, IL, August 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) Illinois State Police made nearly 10,000 DUI arrests in 2011. The Chicago Police Department made more than 3,000 such arrests. Cook County police officers made an additional 475 DUI arrests. With the latest survey of arrest records for police departments across the state, it is clearer than ever that drinking and driving enforcement is one of the state's top priorities.
Among the Cook County police departments reporting high totals of DUI arrests were Chicago (3,037 arrests), Chicago Heights (265 arrests), Orland Park (263 arrests), Schaumburg (250 arrests), Oak Lawn (245 arrests), Evanston (225 arrests), Skokie (220 arrests) and Palatine (214 arrests). With thousands of arrests happening every year, it is easy to see how a person charged with DUI can feel pressured by the system. You should not plead guilty until you have spoken to a knowledgeable DUI defense attorney about your situation.
DUI Lawyer John W. Callahan reports, "Many clients who could help themselves by contacting a DUI Lawyer right after the arrest often put themselves at a disadvantage by waiting a week or two after the arrest to retain a lawyer. This is a huge mistake as every day that the client waits to retain a DUI Lawyer can reduce the likelihood of beating the DUI suspension on the client's case."

How Pharmaceuticals Make Their Way to Market: The FDA Approval Process and Patient Safety Concerns
2012-08-13
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that all new pharmaceuticals travel a long path with several steps before being approved for use to treat illness and disease. The FDA requires new drugs to undergo this process for many reasons, primarily to discover if the drug does what it is meant to do and to learn of potentially harmful side effects. Most importantly, the underlying purpose of the FDA approval process is patient safety.
Typically, before a new drug is approved by the FDA, the drug manufacturer must complete several phases of testing. Often, before ...

Choosing A Doctor After A Workplace Injury
2012-08-13
The Pennsylvania workers' compensation system is set up to provide payment of medical expenses and lost wages related to an on-the-job injury. A worker does not need to sue his or her employer to prove that the employer is at fault or responsible for the injuries; a worker must simply report the injury to his or her employer to start off the workers' compensation process.
One question that often arises however, related to on-the-job injuries, is whether a worker is free to choose his or her own doctor for treatment. It is not hard to understand why an injured person ...

After this experience, Wu went on to found VinAudit.com-- ...
