By Scott Burton - According to statistics from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a law enforcement officer's job is extremely dangerous with one officer being killed every 53 hours in the line of duty. Even more astounding is that this number is on the rise. In 2011, 173 officers were killed, with 68 of them being killed due to a gun-related incident. It's hard-hit reality to what officers go through each day when they put on the uniform and put the gun in the holster and hit the streets. There is good news though: a good number of these deaths are ...

Every year, roughly 500 to 600 sex offenders leave Oregon prisons and reenter the community. Of these, only four percent are caught committing another sex crime within three years of release, according to state records. Recidivism is actually lower for sex offenses compared to most other serious felonies. For instance, one study from the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that within three years of release from prison, 70.2 percent of armed robbers were rearrested, 74 percent of burglars were rearrested, and 70.2 percent of those convicted of illegal weapons offenses ...

Cycling with her husband, who was not hurt in the accident, she was struck by a black ...

When oil booms hit, the number of injuries and deaths rise. Louisiana saw this when the rush began in the state in 2008. In 2009, three men died, then two men in 2010, followed by one death in 2011. There were many others whose lives were spared, but they suffered injuries that had a major effect on their lives. However, when shale development lessens, the injuries and deaths do as well. There has not been a death reported in Louisiana in over one year. More Oil Means More Potential for Accidents When the rush occurred in Louisiana in 2008, many workers came to the ...

The use of child support or spousal support may be necessary to provide for children or a spouse after a marriage has ended. The courts determine the equitable amount needed for child support and issue an order as part of the divorce decree. What happens when the non-custodial spouse losses their job or suffers a significant loss of income? In New Jersey, it is important to determine if the income is permanent. Because your obligation to pay child support is created by a court order, your job loss does not automatically eliminate your obligation for making your child ...

Every day - in work and at home - Missourians use products manufactured by dozens, if not hundreds, of manufacturers. Most of the time, they simply trust that manufacturers create and design these products with sufficient expertise and skill that they will be safe to use, or if there is some danger associated with its use, that the manufacturer will provide appropriate warnings of these dangers. Unfortunately when manufacturers fail to adhere to these basic duties and produce unsafe or defective products, consumers can be severely injured, and in some cases, killed. The ...

Back in 2010, texting while driving became a primary offense in Washington State, meaning that drivers could be pulled over for reading, writing or sending text messages. Previously, texting behind the wheel had been a secondary offense; in other words, motorists could be ticketed for texting, but only if they had been pulled over for some other infraction, such as speeding. In the first year of the strengthened anti-texting law, state troopers ticketed 602 drivers for texting behind the wheel. But, despite heavy enforcement, many drivers did not seem to get the message: ...

The frailty that so often accompanies old age puts senior citizens at risk of experiencing serious, and even life-threatening, injuries. For that reason, many elderly Wisconsin residents choose to move into nursing homes. By doing so, they hope to remain safe from the hazards that come with living on their own. Unfortunately, a recent study shows that this is not always the case. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, approximately one in five patients experience a fall within the first month of being admitted. The study looked ...

In a recent study released by the Surdna Foundation, most North Americans are aware of the climatic change brought on by the extreme weather conditions now referred to as Global Warming. The sad news is, the weather is getting worse according to the study. As a result, these climatic changes have produced erratic climate behavior, which not only affects the environment but a person's skin, making it dry. So how does one solve that problem and UV light radiation? "There are countless brands on the shelf offering varying types of SPF (UV Light) protection and other ...

When ancestral humans walked out of Africa tens of thousands of years ago, Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies came along with them. Now the fruit flies, widely used for genetics research, are returning to Africa and establishing new populations alongside flies that never left — offering new insights into the forces that shape genetic variation. That's one of the findings from two new papers published this month by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and their colleagues that describe the genomes of almost 200 strains of the tiny flies. The work reveals ...

A Simon Fraser University physicist has helped discover that understanding how a chemical mark on our DNA affects gene expression could be as useful to scientists as fingerprints are to police at a crime scene. In a new study, Emberly and his colleagues cite proof that variable methylation, a chemical mark on our DNA, is predictive of age, gender, stress, cancer and early-life socioeconomic status within a population. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has just published the study online. Working with researchers at the University of British ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System have identified a genetic signature that distinguishes patients with complicated sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that can be fatal, from patients with a more benign form of the disease. The gene signature could become the basis for a simple blood test. Their findings are reported online in the journal PLOS ONE. In sarcoidosis, tiny clumps of abnormal tissue form in organs of the body. These clusters of immune cells, called granulomas, cause inflammation. Sarcoidosis can occur in the ...

The unexpected survival of embryonic neurons transplanted into the brains of newborn mice in a series of experiments at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) raises hope for the possibility of using neuronal transplantation to treat diseases like Alzheimer's, epilepsy, Huntington's, Parkinson's and schizophrenia. The experiments, described this week in the journal Nature, were not designed to test whether embryonic neuron transplants could effectively treat any specific disease. But they provide a proof-of-principle that GABA-secreting interneurons, a type ...

White non-Hispanic construction workers are awarded higher workers' compensation settlements in Illinois than Hispanic or black construction workers with similar injuries and disabilities, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health. The disparity amounted to approximately $6,000 more for white non-Hispanic claimants compared to minority workers in the same industry, says Lee Friedman, assistant professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at UIC and lead author of the study, which was published in the October ...
