Since 2009, hundreds of inmates have been convicted of DUI in Scottsdale Arizona. However, their cases could potentially be overturned in the near future. The blood-testing equipment utilized by the Scottsdale, Arizona, police department crime lab in all of these cases has come under scrutiny. And, the challenge is now up for decision in front of a judge.

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration is charged with protecting workers from unsafe conditions at the workplace. One way they do this is by conducting inspections, but the agency does not have the resources to inspect all companies. Some have expressed worries following the Texas fertilizer plant explosion that killed 14 workers. The last inspection at the plant was 28 years ago. OSHA employs roughly 2,200 inspectors who are responsible for the safety of 130 million workers. The agency completes approximately 40,000 inspections each year, but at this rate, ...

Loss of hearing is the most frequent U.S. occupational injury, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also reports that about $242 million is paid out every year in workers' comp benefits nationally to people with work-related hearing impairments. And the Occupational Safety and Health Administration says that about 30 million U.S. workers are subjected to "hazardous noise" annually. Hearing loss is usually permanent; once it is gone, it doesn't come back later. The condition may be characterized by the inability to hear sounds ...

To cater to the rising elder population of baby boomers, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, has proposed a new senior safety rating for older drivers. Rising baby boomers According to information provided by AARP--a foundation aimed at providing education and assistance to older adults--individuals today over age 65 years of age represent 16 percent of the total U.S. population. Data also shows that by the year 2025, one in five drivers in the United States will be in this age range. And, in 17 years, there will be 57 million elderly drivers ...

Many people, when hearing that someone has a trust, assume that there must be a large amount of money involved, or that trusts are only useful for people with a very high net worth. This is simply not the case. The trust is actually a powerful estate planning tool that can provide tax benefits, prevent expensive and time-consuming probate issues, and stave off possible legal challenges. Creating a trust is more complicated than drafting a will, and it must be done meticulously in order to take advantage of the many "pluses" that result. How do trusts work? While ...

The lawsuit, filed on May 6, 2013 in Federal District Court, alleges that Ralph Crawford and McDonald's Corporation engaged in the illegal practice of time-shaving, in which a supervisor trimmed payroll costs by repeatedly and routinely deleting compensable time from its employees.

From brain to heart to stomach, the bodies of humans and animals generate weak magnetic fields that a supersensitive detector could use to pinpoint illnesses, trace drugs – and maybe even read minds. Sensors no bigger than a thumbnail could map gas deposits underground, analyze chemicals, and pinpoint explosives that hide from other probes. Now scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley, working with colleagues from Harvard University, have improved the performance of ...

PORTLAND, Ore. − Patients with two forms of leukemia, who currently have no viable treatment options, may benefit from existing drugs developed for different types of cancer, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The study, published in the May 9 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, isolated the molecular mutation that causes chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) in some patients. That mutation, occurring in a gene called colony ...

Sunless tanning — whether with lotions, bronzers or tanning pills — has been promoted as an effective substitute to dodge the health risks of ultraviolet rays, but if the products don't provide the perfect tan, young women likely will not use them, according to a Baylor University researcher. "The feeling is 'I tan, I feel good, I'll look good tomorrow . . . What's health?'" said Jay Yoo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of family and consumer sciences in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences. He conducted a study of 182 Caucasian female college students, with an average age ...

A particular tumor suppressor gene that fights cancer cells does more than clamp down on unabated cell division -- the hallmark of the disease -- it also can help make cells more fit by allowing them to fend off stress, says a University of Colorado Boulder study. CU-Boulder Professor Min Han said the research team was interested in how a common tumor suppressor gene known as Retinoblastoma 1, or Rb, behaved under conditions of starvation. The question is important, said Han, because it may help researchers understand why many cancer cells are more susceptible to starvation ...

From the several pandemics generally called 'pestilences' three are historically recognized as due to plague, but only for the third pandemic of the 19th to 21st centuries AD there were microbiological evidences that the causing agent was the bacterium Yersinia pestis. "For a long time scholars from different disciplines have intensively discussed about the actual etiological agents of the past pandemics. Only ancient DNA analyses carried out on skeletal remains of plague victims could finally conclude the debate", said Dr. Barbara Bramanti of the Palaeogenetics Group at ...

A University of Southampton professor has carried out the most detailed analysis ever of the archaeological remains of the lost medieval town of Dunwich, dubbed 'Britain's Atlantis'. Funded and supported by English Heritage, and using advanced underwater imaging techniques, the project led by Professor David Sear of Geography and Environment has produced the most accurate map to date of the town's streets, boundaries and major buildings, and revealed new ruins on the seabed. Professor Sear worked with a team from the University's GeoData Institute; the National Oceanography ...

The so-called Elephant's Tomb in the Roman necropolis of Carmona (Seville, Spain) was not always used for burials. The original structure of the building and a window through which the sun shines directly in the equinoxes suggest that it was a temple of Mithraism, an unofficial religion in the Roman Empire. The position of Taurus and Scorpio during the equinoxes gives force to the theory. The Carmona necropolis (Spain) is a collection of funeral structures from between the 1st century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D. One of these is known as the Elephant's Tomb because a ...

Researchers from IMDEA-Nanociencia Institute and from Autonoma and Complutense Universities of Madrid (Spain) have managed to give graphene magnetic properties. The breakthrough, published in the journal 'Nature Physics', opens the door to the development of graphene-based spintronic devices, that is, devices based on the spin or rotation of the electron, and could transform the electronics industry. Scientists were already aware that graphene, an incredible material formed of a mesh of hexagonal carbon atoms, has extraordinary conductivity, mechanical and optical properties. ...

WASHINGTON--Researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory flew their fuel cell powered Ion Tiger unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for 48 hours and 1 minute, April 16 to 18, by using liquid hydrogen (LH2) fuel in a new, NRL-developed, cryogenic fuel storage tank and delivery system. This flight shatters their previous record of 26 hours and 2 minutes set in 2009 using the same vehicle, but with gaseous hydrogen stored at 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi). Liquid hydrogen is three times denser than compressed hydrogen. The cryogenic liquid is stored in a lightweight tank, ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — When it comes to a cancer diagnosis, timing can be everything – the sooner it's found, the more treatable it is. But when and how often should someone get screened? A growing number of educational, interactive tools known as "decision aids" – such as videodiscs, audiotapes, workbooks and pamphlets – are intended to supplement patient-doctor discussions on the pros and cons of timing, methods and frequency for different types of cancer screening. A University of Michigan study found that despite strong recommendations from the medical community ...

Our ability to assess biological diversity, ecosystem health, ecological interactions, and a wide range of other important processes is largely dependent on accurately recognizing species. However, identifying and describing species is not always a straightforward task. In some cases, a single species may show a high level of morphological variation, while in other cases, multiple morphologically similar species may be hidden under a single species name. Cryptic species, two or more distinct species that are erroneously classified under a single species name, are found ...
