Medical helicopter crashes in Tucson, Arizona, kills all on board

Friday, July 30, 2010

A medical helicopter crashed into a fence just outside a house in Tucson, Arizona on Wednesday afternoon, killing all three crew members on board. The crash occurred at 1:42 p.m. Arizona time (21:42 UTC) at the intersection of Glenn Street and Park Avenue. Eyewitness Ricardo Carrasco said that he saw the rotors stop working and the helicopter start plummeting towards the ground, with the pilot attempting to steer it away from the house.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the helicopter was a Eurocopter AS350B3 flown in the LifeNet Arizona fleet. It was operated by the Colorado-based Air Methods Corporation, which specializes in flying emergency medical helicopters.

“This is a sad day for all of us at Air Methods and we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of our employees who perished while on duty,” Air Methods Corporation CEO Aaron Todd said after the crash.

Two other fatal aviation accidents were reported in the United States on Wednesday. In Alaska, a United States Air Force C-17 Globemaster transport plane crashed while preparing for an air show, killing all four crew members. Earlier, Delaware, Ohio city councilman and airport commissioner James Moore died when his rented light plane crashed and caught fire close to the city’s airport.

The Great Advantages Of Bail Bonds

The Great Advantages Of Bail Bonds

By Kelvin Sherman

A famous city of Orange County, the beautiful city of California, Costa Mesa is a semi-rural city with a farming community of around 16,840 out of a total population of 109,960. The economy of Costa Mesa is mostly based on light manufacturing, commerce, and retail. Most people think that finding bail bonds in this city would be difficult. But Costa Mesa bail bonds are countless with many companies that are operating here in this city for several years. You can find many Bail Bonds agents as well, who will gladly help you out whenever you are stuck with a huge bail amount that you cannot pay on your own.

Costa Mesa agents and companies are so helpful that you do not need to have any knowledge regarding bail bonds yourself. Costa Mesa bail bonds are professional and licensed practitioners who are excellent at their job and can help you go through the whole process as smoothly as possible without baring any worries. Whether you know anything about the bail bonds system or not, these professionals will guide you through, making things very convenient for you.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TuZYnqwWwY[/youtube]

The good thing about bail bonds agent is that they arrive immediately at the jail where you are detained. You do not have to worry about sending someone to the agents to get your bail rather they come to you and help you through the whole process ensuring you get safely out of jail without any problem. The process that Costa Mesa bail bonds agents go through is already defined and does not alter from that path. This means that you have to face the least amount of confusion and trouble as you already know the whole process in a very transparent manner. If you are stuck in Costa Mesa, need bail and expect yourself to be out and free in no more than an hour. Because that is how efficient the Costa Mesa companies are.

In Costa Mesa, when a person is charged with a crime, he or she is taken immediately to the police station by the officer of Costa Mesa police who has arrested the criminal. As soon as the criminal arrives at the police station, the process of booking and detaining is initiated. This includes taking photographs of the criminal, taking finger prints of the criminal, and going through all the necessary paperwork involved. Once the police is finished with all this process, they then give the criminal the option of getting out on bail, and let him / her know the bail amount. That is when the criminal can either opt to stay in bail or to get out of jail. Criminals can get out on their own funding, but if they do not have sufficient amount of money to cover the bail money, they can easily call up one of the many companies or agents and request them to come and bail them out from the police station.

It is always advisable that you contact any bail bonds company as soon as possible. Because if you take too long making this decision, the police of Costa Mesa will transfer you to the Orange County Jail, which is much larger and thus takes longer to process all the paperwork. If you are transferred, Costa Mesa bail bonds agents will find it more difficult to bail you out and you could be stuck there in that jail for a day or even more. This is why it is always advisable to be quick in making this decision and in contacting the bail bonds agents as soon as possible.

About the Author: Bail bondsman basically provides a contract to the court ensuring that the defendant would appear in the court. The guarantee is provided by the defendant’s family members or friends.

Remains of a child discovered in Jersey care home

Monday, February 25, 2008

Parts of a body belonging to a child have been discovered at the Haut de la Garenne in Saint Martin, Jersey, a United Kingdom Crown dependency off the coast of Normandy, France.

The Victorian building, which was originally built as a children’s care home and is now a youth hostel, has been under investigation recently as part of an inquiry into child abuse which occurred during the 1960s. The investigation has now been refocused with the aim to excavate further the grounds of the building, under the command of a specialist team from the UK who will use ground scanners and sniffer dogs to detect any other possible remains.

The body is believed to date from the early 1980s though further information about the identity of the child has not yet been released. The remains were found buried underneath a concrete floor inside the building. Today, the Guardian newspaper revealed that there are fears of a possible six further bodies buried on the site.

“There could be six, but it could be higher than that,” according to lead investigator Lenny Harper, who further said, “Allegations range from physical assaults right through to rape. It is difficult to envisage more horrific crimes than some of those that are alleged to have been carried out here.”

A helpline set up to find more information about alleged child abuse at the Haut de la Garenne and Jersey Sea Scouts has garnered a total of 140 contacts, made up of those claiming to be witnesses or victims to the crimes. The information gathered from the telephone inquiry triggered the search of the grounds.

International forces in Dili reach agreement

Thursday, June 8, 2006

The international forces in East Timor have reached an agreement about the coordination of the military and police forces in the field. Representatives of the four countries reached the agreement during an urgent meeting after an incident between Australian and Portuguese soldiers yesterday.

In the agreement reached between Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Portugal and the Timorese government, operational autonomy is given to the international forces, which will operate in cooperation and coordination with each other.

The agreement also stated that in an initial phase Dili will be divided into sectors, and each area will be under the control of an international force. Outside of its area of responsibility, the military or police force will only be able to operate if other international forces request their actions. Also was agreed that the police forces will assume total control of the city after the military forces leave their current occupied positions. A situation that is expected after the arrival of the remaining equipment, mainly vehicles, for the Portuguese Republican National Guard (GNR) and the arrival of the remaining Malaysian police officers and their equipment.

In an official notice, the Timorese Foreign Minister, José Ramos Horta stated that “the objective on a long run is for the GNR to operate has a tactical intervention force in all the city of Dili”.

Ramos Horta explained that “in the next days, maybe already tomorrow morning, they [the Australian, Malaysian, New Zealand and Portuguese forces] will do some coordination training, in way to assure that the four forces know exactly what each one will do”. “Since some are from the Army and the others [Portuguese Republican National Guard] are a specialized police and that they never worked together, its useful to carry out some practical exercises”, he added.

In another subject, Ramos Horta explained that the Australian soldiers that are in Maubisse, next to a rebel group lead by major Reinado, and in Gleno, Ermera, next to another group of “military opponents”, are there “containing those elements”.

“Those groups are not comparable with other people that are here in Dili and that must be disarmed”, Ramos Horta said.

“The Australian presence in Maubisse and Gleno aims in containing those groups on their areas, until arrives the moment in which the President decides that is time for also mister Alfredo Reinado and the others to put down their weapons”, he said. “This is not urgent because they are not causing problems to anyone”, he justified.

The urgency of the resolution and clarification of the command and cooperation of the international forces was originated after an incident between Australian and Portuguese soldiers. When yesterday a Portuguese GNR patrol transported three people to a temporary detention center managed by Australian soldiers.

The detainees were arrested by a GNR Special Operations team, after being caught looting a governmental warehouse, in Balide, Dili.

The Australian soldiers then refused to receive the detained men, questioning the legitimacy of the Portuguese soldiers to make arrests. The Portuguese contingent transported the detainees to the Timorese prison services in Dili.

How To Make Successful Nba Bets?

How To Make Successful Nba Bets?

Format of the tournament

The League is composed of 30 teams which are equally divided on the Western and Eastern Conferences. The conference includes 3 divisions with 5 clubs in each. The regular championship consists of 82 rounds.

The winners of the divisions and 5 teams with the best winning percentage get into the play-off. The struggle lasts up to 4 wins. The representatives of different Conferences take different nets and will meet only at final match.

Peculiarities of NBA betting online

First of all, you need to get acquainted with the rules. The basketball quarter lasts 12 minutes, nit 10. Also zone defense is forbidden and this fact simplifies the actions of the attacking teams. Basketball association is constantly supporting financially its clubs. The difference in class of the favorites and underdogs is not as large as in European Leagues. 30% of the matches end with the winning of an underdog.

60% of winnings are gained by the hosts of the basketball court. 60% But don’t rely on brands as at a distance the margin will “eat” the part of the profit. Search for deeper regularities and bet on handicaps.

NBA is good for total bets. Bookmakers propose the action line up to 15 steps of total in both side and the margin doesn’t exceed 4 %.

One month before the start of the season, the clubs spend preseason games. The team plays 6-10 games which purpose is to estimate the basketball players and tactical progress. Such matches create the model of a game for a forthcoming season.

Winning series seldom last more than 10 matches. If your bank is huge enough use Dogon. Or, better , join the game when the team has won 5-7 times in a row.

The last team of a previous championship can become a leader in a year. Use statistics only of a current season.

Useful regularities of NBA betting

Important matches are usually played on total under. If we compare with regular championship, fewer goals are scored at play-off. The sportsmen are focused on defense and don’t risk. The tendency is the same during the first matches of a season.

Score 0:2 in a series is a verdict. NHL hockey players go further having lost two or three games in a row. But at NBA, the team that got such advantage was able to reach the next round only in 93-95% of cases. The score 0:2 had happened 280 times but only 18 times the team was able to win back.

The teams that have renewed their squads during the shoulder period, don’t demonstrate their perfect game during the opening match. The freshers need some time for adaptation as basketball demands team-work.

Bets on NBA winner

3-4 teams usually give points to other participants of the League by a level of game. Golden State Warriors, Cleveland and San Antonio regularly fight for the title. But shootouts are unpredictable that is why while making the prediction on the winner of the tournament, work, at least, with 10-12 pretenders.

Over the history of tournament, the competition was won by 17 teams out of 30. If the winner is clear at play-off, then the bets are like lottery. Especially when the equal teams are fighting for the title. Think about the bets on leader of the Conference or Division or just agree to bet that the team will get into the play-off stage.

NBA basketball betting strategy

Zig Zag theory is used for betting on play-off. Even Top clubs don’t win all the time and due to this fact some amazing outcome can happen. The matter is that you bet on a team that has lost the previous match. After the failure, the team is figuring out the mistakes and tactics diligently and the players are serious.

This factor is taken into consideration by the experts of bookmakers. The club is winning over the rivals but instead of increasing the handicap during the next meeting, it is the same or even slightly decreased. The same situation at the regular championship leads to increase of handicap at 2-3 points.

Strategy is good for competitive matches. Ignore the events with obvious favorite even if it is not marked at coefficients. Ill -judged bets won’t become successful. Don’t over – and underestimate the team.

Summary

Except unique peculiarities and regularities the NBA betting has its advantages:

– Regularity of events – every day during the season;

– Wide line and margin 3-4% on popular markets;

– A lot of information and statistics for analysis;

Bookmakers analyses NBA matches and that is why the bets have also some disadvantages:

– Ideal line of value coefficients;

– Tendencies are changing rapidly that is why there are no long-term strategies.

Bear in mind all regularities of the tournament, keep to the strategies you have chosen and analyze every choice. Don’t be afraid to use American resources.

French workers use threats in compensation demand

Friday, July 17, 2009Following similar threats by workers at New Fabris and Nortel, workers at JLG in Tonneins, France, threatened to blow up several platform cranes. The JLG factory announced in April 2009 that it will fire 53 of its 163 workers by the end of 2009, while the remaining 110 jobs will not be secure over the next 2 years.

JLG Tonneins was acquired in 2006 with its parent JLG Industries, a maker of aerial work platforms, by the U.S.-based Oshkosh Corporation. Despite being hugely profitable in the past, production has been much reduced since 2008 with the contraction of the construction industry and lower demand for its products. Despite excellent past results the new American management demanded sweeping cuts at the company.

In the view of locals, “the company’s actions are a disgrace given the expensive perks, such as official cars, for its corporate fat cats, compared to the sacrifice, silence, and dignity demanded by the company of those it has made redundant.”

The management offered severance pay of 3,000 (US $4,200), however the workers demanded a severance package commensurate with “the wealth that their labor has generated.” Worker’s delegates requested a “supra-legal” payment of € 30,000, on Thursday 16 of July the management responded with a counter offer of € 16,000. On Thursday night the worker’s actions secured the € 30,000 settlement initially demanded.

Taylor Swift’s Evermore records biggest sales week of the year as it returns to No 1 on album chart

Friday, June 11, 2021

Taylor Swift’s Evermore album has returned to the top position on the Billboard 200 chart this week, after an 8307% increase in sales. Evermore, which was released in December, only had its vinyl edition issued on May 28, although preorders were available from the moment of the album’s release.

In the week ending on June 3, Evermore sold 192 thousand copies, setting the record for the biggest sales week of the year. Billboard credited the rise of Evermore back to No. 1 to a number of factors, including “modern-era record-breaking vinyl LP sales — 102 thousand — Swift-signed CDs and deep discounting on its digital album”. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums in the United States on a weekly basis, combining album sales and streaming.

This one hit me hard. I’m so in my feelings (more so than usual!) over what you all did here for Evermore. Blown away by how much you care, and how long we’ve been caring about each other…Love you, so very much.

In this week’s chart, Evermore jumped from 74 to 1, marking the biggest jump to the number 1 position since Radiohead’s In Rainbows went from 156 to 1. Since then, three albums have also re-entered the chart at no. 1, the most recent of which was Bon Jovi’s This House Is Not for Sale on the March 10, 2018 chart, caused by a bundling of concert tickets with the album. Evermore broke the record for the biggest sales week for a vinyl album, having initially sold over 40 thousand copies from May 28 to May 31 to edge out the previous record holder, Jack White’s Lazaretto. By the end of the week, Evermore had sold 102 thousand vinyl copies.

The delay of Evermore’s vinyl release is due to the length of time vinyl records take to produce. As Evermore was only announced a day before its release, it is likely that there was not sufficient time before its release to complete the production of physical editions of the album, including vinyl editions. In other countries where Evermore hit no. 1 upon its December release, it also recieved a boost. On the United Kingdom’s Official Albums Chart Top 100, Evermore jumped 70 spots to the no. 4 position. Australia’s ARIA Top 50 Albums chart saw Evermore go up nine spots to no. 38. In New Zealand, Evermore was one of the fastest rising titles on the Official Top 40 Albums chart, re-entering at no. 30.

The Role Of Nurses In Today’s Health Care Industry

The Role Of Nurses In Today’s Health Care Industry

By Karen P Williams

The nurse’s role in healthcare has changed dramatically over the last few decades. In the mid-20th century, nurses often served only a few main causes-such as being midwives and giving basic care to patients-and were not nearly-as respected and independent as their doctor superiors. The last few decades have turned that stigma upside down, though. Modern nurses can further their careers all the way up to the Ph D level and some even have their own practice.

The Modern Nurse and Responsibilities of

Roles of modern nurses are very broad and often interlope. Depending on your education and licensing level, you can do anything from helping RN’s and doctors, to providing support in the O.R. and even to becoming a fully-fledged Nurse Practitioner, or NP. Just like many industries, you have to climb the career ladder and you do so by pursing as much education as possible and getting all the licenses (NCLEX-PN, NCLEX-RN, etc) needed to be successful in your career.

Moving forward, let’s take a look at roles of nurses in accordance to their educational/licensing attainments:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnnmKb_foMs[/youtube]

Most aspiring nurses these days begin their career as a medical assistant. If you are a fledgling nurse, this is the best place to be in the beginning. All it takes is a few quarters of vocational school and you are certified. Of course you want to move up in the world, right?

LPN’s (or LVN’s) have received an Associate degree in nursing and have passed the NCLEX-PN exam. On attaining this level of stature, you are very well on your way! The pay will be greater, and you will typically have the opportunity to provide leadership to medical assistants or medical aides. Generally speaking, you will be the ‘middle-man’ between the MA and the RN (Registered Nurse).

If you decide to open many more doors, consider becoming a fully-fledged RN. The many different types and roles of RN’s are extremely wide in scope. A Bachelor degree is required (BSN) from an accredited nursing school, and you must pass the national NCLEX-RN exam

And, if you have aimed for the stars and gotten your Master degree in nursing, the APRN

(Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) is well in sight. This is the top of, or very near, the career ladder of any nurse. A Master’s degree (MSN or MN) is required, as generally all the experience you got from being a lower-level nurse is. Common descriptions include: CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists), NP (Nurse Practitioner) and CNM (Certified Nurse Midwife).

Watch Out Doctors!

Your journey to the top is near complete. However, if even the top isn’t good enough for you, join the ranks of doctors! The DNP, or DrNp (Doctor of Nursing Practice) is the gold medal of nursing and, essentially, signifies that you have reached the extreme top of your game. This will require at least partial study in the PhD degree level and it varies from state-to-state.

Those are your options for becoming a nurse and that is the roles that they carry out. This guide is not meant to imply that you are required to rise to the very top (as most nurses are very happy once they have attained RN status) it only shows all the ‘rungs’ you can aspire to climb before you are ultimately satisfied and happy in your career.

Two teenagers charged in alleged school attack plot

Saturday, July 14, 2007

Two Long Island, New York teenagers, aged 15 and 17, have been charged for their alleged involvement in a suspected plot to attack their school next April, on the ninth anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting massacre.

The plot was uncovered when the 15-year-old suspect lost his journal at the McDonalds restaurant where he worked. The journal was found by a fellow classmate of the teenagers’ school, who quickly turned it over to school officials.

The journal is alleged to have outlined the teenagers’ plan to attack the school with guns and home-made bombs. The 15-year-old suspect’s home and computers were searched and evidence was collected, which revealed that he allegedly tried to purchase black powder explosives and machine guns over the Internet.

A video was also found in which the same teenager allegedly names some students and staff he would like to attack at the school. The 17-year-old was allegedly planning to aid in the attack on the school.

The two teens were arrested and held in Long Island jail on misdemeanor conspiracy, which is punishable by up to one year in prison. The 15-year-old will appear in juvenile court on Friday and the 17-year-old suspect is expected to plead not guilty at a hearing.
