According to Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Jim Amormino stated that Tuesday a 48 year old woman was struck by what is reported to be a medium blue pickup truck while crossing in a cross walk during rush hour. The accident occurred at approximately 5:00 p.m. while the woman identified as Zhen Huang was crossing five lanes on Magnolia Avenue.

Amormino stated that Huang was returning home from a walk when she was struck and that she was hit by the truck outside of the cross walk, causing the cross walk accident. Investigators believe from skid marks that the truck that was making a left turn from Pacific Avenue onto Magnolia Avenue was trying to beat a yellow light and was traveling at approximately 25 miles per hour at the time of the hit and run.

The estimated speed investigators were able to determine from skid marks on the road. It is reported that when Huang was struck by the truck she was dragged approximately 10 feet, and she was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Police and the family are asking for any witnesses to come forward that have information about the accident. They do not have a description of the driver, but the truck was a late model, that is light blue full size pickup truck with a work rack in the back of the truck.

Filed under: accident/injury News — Tags: — nupex @ 4:20 am

August 1, 2009 (by Horatio Algren) According to reports the husband and wife accused of hit and run in the death of one USC student and the severe injuries to another rejected a plea deal offered by the district attorney.

Josue Luna and his wife Claudia Cabrera charged with hit and run in the death of USC student Adrianna Bachan near campus in a crosswalk at approximately 3:00 a.m. on March 29th, who died from the injuries she sustained in the hit and run. Marcus Garfinkle was critically injured in the hit and run accident.

The plea deal that was offered was a 6 year sentence for Luna and a 4 year sentence for Cabreara who was driving the vehicle at the time of the hit and run when she ran a red light and drove through the crosswalk striking the two USC students. Cabrera was arrested on April 2, after Bachans mother made a series of televised pleas for the capture of the alleged suspects and offered a $235,000 reward.

Luna was arrested in the alleged hit and run on April 18 when he was walking across the border back into the United States from Mexico.

Attorney Jeffery Benice who is representing the couple stated that the plea deal is unacceptable and if they went to trial Luna and Cabrera would serve less time. The attorney also stated that Luna is willing to serve extra time in order for his wife to serve less time. Benice said the couple are seeking a 2 year sentence for Cabrera and a 4 year sentence for Luna. Hit and run accident attorneys will be watching this case closely.

June 23, 2009(by Horatio Algren) According Zicam injury lawyers, the Food and Drug Administration has not identified what ingredient in the three Zicam products that they have issued a warning for.

The warning was issued after more than 130 Zicam users complained to the Food and Drug Administration they had suffered long-lasting or even permanent loss of their sense of smell. Some of these users reported they had loss of smell after their first use of the products, while others used the products or extended amount of time prior to realizing there was a problem with their sense of smell.

The three Zicam products that have been recalled contain zinc derivatives, which include Zincum Gluconium and Zincum Aceticum.

Tips on Feeding your Cat

Filed under: animals — nupex @ 8:30 pm

As a general rule, cats are obligate carnivores – which essentially means that they need a diet which is rich in protein to be healthy. of course, they can eat certain other items like sugars, yet since they have short digestive tracts their systems are not very well equipped for digesting vegetables and the like, especially as a major part of their diet. Because of this, you might want to hold off on switching Kitty to a vegan diet.

What should your cat’s food contain? When you read the food label, the first ingredient listed should be protein. What you don’t want to see are a lot of by-products, which are basically those parts of animals and plants that are not eaten by humans. Furthermore, you don’t want to see a lot of fillers. For me, I suggest a premium cat food like Life’s Abundance from Dr. Jane Bicks. For me, premium is simply the only way to go.

Fillers are normally made up of grain, some of which cats find hard to digest – such as corn. Some cat foods may contain as much as half grain as filler. Now, you can imagine what this will do your cat if he finds the food difficult to digest — that will be one unhappy cat. Giving your cat this type of food, depending on the cat, could result in some health issues, or in a cat that simply will not eat.

When you do go shopping for the food, be certain to check the expiration date, as cat food, even though it is of the dry variety and made with preservatives, does not last forever. Furthermore, once opened, even dry cat food will lose much of its freshness after a few days, so be careful not to buy huge heaping bags of cat food if you do not have airtight containers for it.

Giving your feline dog food is a very large no-go because they simply will not thrive on this particular food and some of the elements vital to feline health, like the amino acid Taurine, for example will simply not be there or not in adequate quantities.

If your cat is picky like mine, you may find yourself going crazy trying to cater to your cat’s tastes, especially if you’re trying to switch them to another food. What can you do?
Mix a few pieces of a new brand in with your cat’s regular brand, to get them accustomed to a new food scent and taste, without it bombarding them. Also, don’t forget to give your cat plenty of fresh water to help with food digestion.

Ergonomic Office Chairs, The True Way To Go

Filed under: home/office — nupex @ 7:22 pm

I just returned from Los Angeles to see a lemon law attorney  and time to blog again. Working in an office 8-12 hours per day can be strenuous on your body if you are utilizing an improper chair to help your back. Unfortunately, a lot of companies design and manufacture chairs and related furniture; however only a few actually invest time in to making chairs that are ergonomic and designed properly to help your back instead of simply offering a place to sit. Below are some factors to consider when obtaining a chair.
Seat Height - Office chairs and other similiar furniture height should be easily adjustable. Often times chairs will be equipped with a pneumatic adjustment lever to adjust the height of the chair. Based on average height of american people, seats that adjust from 16 to 21 inches should be proper for a majority of office workers. If you are on the tall side, you want the chair to be around 21 inches, if you are on the short side youIcidentially if you need a leading Outdoor Dining Furniture Source then I can suggest this top resource overall.
will do the opposite. I was once in the office of my attorney and I noticed he had a great furnite source overall. Of course, most of them do tend to have nice furniture.
Seat Width & Depth - The seat should have proper width and height to help encourage
a healthy body and back. Often times 16-19 inches wide will be a healthy standard width. chair should be deep enough so that the person sitting can sit upright with their back against the back of the chair.
You should have 2-4 inches left between the back of the knees and the chair seat. The tilt of the chair should also be adjustable to help reduce pain and improve comfort. Lumbar Support - Lower back support for ergonomic office chairs is definitely necessary. This is often times referred to as Lumbar support. Lumbar support is the inward curve of the chair against the back, and this helps you when you are sitting for extended periods of time. If you have improper lumbar support, this will often
times lead to slouching and improper natural curve. This can be unhealthy for your
lower spine.The backrest - Your chair should be 12-19″ wide. This should be separate from the
base or seat of the chair in order to preserve ergonomic support. This should assist
in helping your lumbar support, as most ergonomic furniture source can do. You should pay attention to the lumbar region to
ensure you keep an upright back and are able to keep your feet even on the floor in
front of you. The seat itself should be adjustable up and down and front and back
so that you can obtain the proper comfort and support.

The Dangers Of Scabies In The Nursing Home

Placing a family member in a nursing home is often because of the amount of care; they need that is not possible to give in the home. In some cases it is medical care that is required and in other cases, it is the need for someone to assist the elderly person during wakeful hours and during sleeping hours. This is in many cases to difficult for their children who work, too be there to also care for their aging relative. This is not an easy decision for the child of an aging parent, aunt or uncle when the responsibility has fallen on them. It is also a difficult matter for the Los Angeles personal injury attorneys that may be taking on the case dude to the stressed clients.

When this decision has been thought out and investigated to decide which nursing home is safest, what the family might not realize are the dangers of scabies in the nursing home. Even in the best facilities, without the proper watchful eye scabies can infect every resident.

The scabies are microscopic mites known medically as Sarcoptes scabiei, these are mites that burrow into the skin and once embedded they lay eggs. Once the eggs are laid, they cause an allergic reaction in the skin. This reaction causes a rash and causes unstoppable itching. When medical care is not given promptly for the condition it becomes worse, and the skin will have spots where the skin becomes crusted. Underneath of this dried and crusted skin are thousands and in some cases millions of scabies.

This should not be a situation that occurs in the San Ana nursing home, this is a form of neglect for the residents to suffer the pain of the microscopic mites on their skin. This painful and can even be dangerous for an elderly person. Skin breakage is a high risk of infection in an older person, which can place their health at risk.

The dangers of scabies in the Santa Ana nursing home should not be something the elderly person has to suffer with, and if it does occur it is negligence when there is not immediate medical attention. This is when the family needs to consult an Orange County or Los Angeles elderly abuse attorney. This is a personal injury attorney that can hold the nursing home responsible for the pain and suffering they have caused the aging family member. It also means the Santa Ana nursing home is on notice their neglect will not be tolerated.
