No matter who your Atlanta dumpster company is, there are some things that should not be thrown into an Atlanta dumpster and Green Star Waste wants residents to understand why. Many household chemicals, including paint and gasoline, should never end up in a dumpster in Atlanta. These pose a threat due to the risk of fire and also due to the risk of runoff. Your Atlanta rolloff dumpster is not water tight, so when it rains, anything that's in the dumpster could be rinsed into nearby water supplies, potentially putting your family and local pets and wildlife at risk of ...

Attorneys Clark & Washington know that one of the major factors in determining whether to file for bankruptcy protection is whether you can keep your house. Now, thanks to the significant change in Georgia bankruptcy code made by SB117, keeping your home just became a little bit easier. The law, which became effective in May, gives a personal exemption of up to $21,500 for a person's primary residence. Under the previous Atlanta bankruptcy law, people filing for bankruptcy were allowed to claim just $10,000 of the value of their home as a personal exemption. Couples ...

Atlanta pool maintenance company Pinnacle Pools understands the importance of properly winterizing pools in Atlanta. Despite the relatively moderate Georgia winters, winterizing your pool before temperatures get too low is a critical part of pool care. When fall hits, most people stop using their pools. Winterizing at this point allows you to prevent the potential damages of freezing water and keep the area as clean as possible for when you reopen the pool for spring. Though it is possible to winterize your pool on your own, before you consider that option you should ...

A night out on the town should be fun, but without responsibility it can be costly, even fatal. Atlanta limo company Topper Worldwide urges party-goers to avoid the costly mistake of a DUI and instead rent a limo. It is not only safer for everyone, but in the long run, it can save you a great deal of money. The average cost of a DUI is around $10,000 in bail fees, additional fines, and insurance increases, if you are fortunate enough to only be pulled over. If you are in an accident, the number rapidly increases with legal fees, not to mention the amount of time lost ...

Sound Physicians Chairman Edward G. Murphy, MD will share key opportunities and challenges for providers and hospitals considering forming an ACO and the role of hospitalists in that delivery model at the 3rd National Accountable Care Organization Congress on Oct. 31. "For an ACO to be financially-viable, a strong framework and system for performance management must be in place on day one," said Dr. Edward G. Murphy. "Otherwise early losses will put the ACO behind from the beginning." Dr. Murphy led the conversion of Carilion Health System to an ...

NEW ORLEANS -- Over the past few decades, cheerleading has evolved from leading the crowd in cheers at football games to a competitive, year-round sport featuring complex acrobatic stunts performed by a growing number of athletes – and as a result the number and severity of injuries from cheerleading has also surged. In a new policy statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) urges coaches, parents and school officials to follow injury-prevention guidelines, develop emergency plans and ensure cheerleading programs have access to the same level of qualified coaches, ...

A new inhibitor helps previously nicotine-addicted rats stay on the wagon, according to a study published on October 22nd in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. Kicking the cigarette habit is difficult enough, but resisting the urge to light up in situations previously associated with smoking can be a quitter's downfall. But help may be at hand. A new inhibitor developed by Fang Liu and colleagues at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto helped ex-smoker rats resist that urge. Liu and colleagues found that long-term nicotine exposure caused two neurotransmitter ...

Mothers and newborns who are both admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) after delivery are significantly more likely to die compared with mom–baby pairs not needing ICU admission, found a study in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). As well, when both mother and baby require admission to an ICU, they are much more likely to be managed at different hospitals, thereby negatively impacting maternal–infant bonding. Researchers completed a population-based study of all 1.02 million live born singleton deliveries in Ontario between 2002 and 2010. They found that ...

Engaging in a combination of healthy behaviours, such as not smoking, moderate alcohol consumption, exercise, and eating fruits and vegetables daily makes it significantly more likely people will stay healthy as they age, according to a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). "Our study shows the cumulative impact of healthy behaviours on successful aging — the greater the number of healthy behaviours, the greater the benefit," writes Dr. Séverine Sabia, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, UCL (University College London), UK, with coauthors. Successful ...

A study in The Journal of Cell Biology identifies a motor protein that ferries HIV to the plasma membrane, helping the virus escape from macrophages. HIV reproduces inside disease-fighting T cells, killing them in the process. But the virus can also replicate in macrophages, which survive infection and serve as reservoirs of HIV. In T cells, new viral particles are formed at the plasma membrane, but in macrophages the viruses assemble inside cytoplasmic containers called virus-containing compartments (VCCs). To break out of a macrophage, a virus particle therefore has ...

Las Vegas, NV (October 22, 2012) – A stay in the hospital may not be the only way to acquire Clostridium difficile diarrhea – but the potentially life-threatening infection may be associated with a number of health complications in hospitalized children, according to the findings from two studies unveiled today at the American College of Gastroenterology's (ACG) 77th Annual Scientific meeting in Las Vegas. In a separate case report also presented today, fecal microbiota transplantation in a 20-month old with recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) suggests the therapeutic ...

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease ...

AUDIO: This audio clip captures the unusual speech-like sounds from white whale NOC. See supplemental information for more data. Click here for more information. For the first time, researchers have been able to show by acoustic analysis that whales—or at least one very special white whale—can imitate the voices of humans. That's a surprise, because whales typically produce sounds in a manner that is wholly different from humans, say researchers who report their findings in the ...

Some African dung beetles roll their feasts of dung away to avoid the hordes of other hungry bugs at the pile. But now researchers who report their findings in the October 23 issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, have discovered that the beetles also use the balls in another, rather clever way: The moist balls keep the bugs cool even as they push a weight up to 50 times heavier than their own bodies across the scorching sand. "Like an air conditioning unit, the moist ball is cooled by evaporative cooling," said Jochen Smolka of Lund University. "The beetles ...
