WILMINGTON, NC, February 08, 2013 (Press-News.org) Experienced North Carolina sex crimes defense attorney Patrick Roberts of Roberts Law Group, PLLC, recently helped a local college student avoid rape charges. The student wisely secured legal representation early enough in the investigation and no charges were ever filed against him.
The student had been accused of sexually assaulting a female after a college party. He would have faced up to 30 years in prison if convicted of what could have been a charge of 1st degree forcible rape. He would also have faced a term of 30 years of being forced to register as a sex offender. But, when all the facts were on the table, no charges were filed.
Patrick Roberts put his experience in sex crimes defense to work for the university student. The accused student submitted to a polygraph examination regarding his version of the events that led to the accusation of sexual assault. Roberts fully prepared the student for his meetings with both law enforcement and with university officials.
After collecting the available evidence in the case, including the accused's version of events and the results of the polygraph examination, the university declined to pursue the alleged sexual assault case any further. The matter was not referred to law enforcement. No charges were ever filed.
The importance of involving a criminal defense attorney as early on in any case cannot be understated, particularly for college students and young adults. There is simply too much on the line this early in life to trust your future, your reputation and your freedom, to anyone other than an attorney or law firm with a history of successful results in difficult cases.

2013-02-08
Every business owner's aim is to attract customers but they are sometimes so busy with work that they neglect their own image - then wonder why clients are not flocking to their doors.
You would not, presumably, get your hair done by someone whose own hair was a mess or take health and nutrition advice from a practitioner who was seriously overweight and smoked heavily. Similarly, your clients need to see that you practise what you preach - you have to model the behaviour you want to see in your clients. If you are recommending that your clients update their website, ...

npower Reveals Brits Baffled About History of Household Items
2013-02-08
A survey released by npower shows that Brits are baffled when it comes to the history of technology, with the average guess 36 years out.
npower research showed that while many believe these life-changing gadgets came into existence in the last 50 or 60 years, many are actually more than a century old.
Take the dishwasher for example. Invented in the 1890s by Josephine Cochran, the dishwasher is a Victorian invention and has been around for more than 120 years. Yet Brits believe it was actually invented in the 1970s, more than 80 years out.
Another big misconception ...

High-energy X-rays shine light on mystery of Picasso's paints
2013-02-07
ARGONNE, Ill. (Feb. 6, 2013) -- The Art Institute of Chicago teamed up with Argonne National Laboratory to unravel a decades-long debate among art scholars about what kind of paint Picasso used to create his masterpieces.
The results published last month in the journal Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing adds significant weight to the widely held theory that Picasso was one of the first master painters to use common house paint rather than traditional artists' paint. That switch in painting material gave birth to a new style of art marked by canvasses covered ...
Social media may prove useful in prevention of HIV, STDs, study shows
2013-02-07
Facebook and other social networking technologies could serve as effective tools for preventing HIV infection among at-risk groups, new UCLA research suggests.
In a study published in the February issue of the peer-reviewed journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases, researchers found that African American and Latino men who have sex with men voluntarily used health-related Facebook groups, which were created by the study's investigators, to discuss such things as HIV knowledge, stigma and prevention and ultimately to request at-home HIV testing kits.

Volcano location could be greenhouse-icehouse key
2013-02-07
HOUSTON -- (Feb. 6, 2013) -- A new Rice University-led study finds the real estate mantra "location, location, location" may also explain one of Earth's enduring climate mysteries. The study suggests that Earth's repeated flip-flopping between greenhouse and icehouse states over the past 500 million years may have been driven by the episodic flare-up of volcanoes at key locations where enormous amounts of carbon dioxide are poised for release into the atmosphere.
"We found that Earth's continents serve as enormous 'carbonate capacitors,'" said Rice's Cin-Ty Lee, the lead ...

2013-02-07
A minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots in brain tissue after hemorrhagic stroke appears safe and may also reduce long-term disability, according to late-breaking research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013.
Of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) each year, most are severely debilitated, said Daniel Hanley, M.D., lead author and professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Md.
ICH is the most common type of bleeding stroke. It occurs when ...

Eating Southern-style foods may be linked to a higher risk of stroke, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013.
In the first large-scale study on the relationship between Southern foods and stroke, researchers characterized a Southern diet by a high intake of foods such as fried chicken, fried fish, fried potatoes, bacon, ham, liver and gizzards, and sugary drinks such as sweet tea. In addition to being high in fat, fried foods tend to be heavily salted.
