			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As spring begins, the term &#8216;spring cleaning&#8217; pops into many people&#8217;s mind in order to overhaul their home or office and give it a fresh, clean look.</p>
<p>While beginning to clean your home of office space, there are few items that are commonly left off the list that are an important to remember.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wowtotalcleaning.com/">Austin carpet cleaners</a>, painters and maid services are in high demand during this time, but there are also other areas that need to be worked on. For example, make sure to move furniture in order to dust and vacuum behind it and get rid of the dirt build up.</p>
<p>Another forgotten area is the over the refrigerator, wooden chairs and couch pillows. When cleaning decorative pillows, it is the best idea to put them in garment bags if you are using a washing machine or hand wash them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.legalnews4you.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Austincarpetcleaners2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-802" title="Austincarpetcleaners" src="http://www.legalnews4you.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Austincarpetcleaners2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="256" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other items that area commonly missed an can collect dust are pianos in the home. This can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth paired with furniture polish. Also, make sure to clean exterior doors of your home with a sponge and soap so you can boost the aesthetic appeal of your home.  Other items such as leather furniture and fine art pieces may require special instructions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Monday morning, a juvenile gunman took fire in a cafeteria shooting five people and fatally injuring three of them.</p>
<p>The students had no warning before the gunshots began and they continued until a teacher was able to chase the student out of the school. One student was pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital and two more have now succumbed to the gun shot wounds suffered.</p>
<p>The alleged gunman is currently facing multiple criminal charges and it is also thought that families of those shot will be filing lawsuits against him for wrongful death, medical expenses and pain and suffering. Civil lawsuits are usually filed after such tragic events on a school&#8217;s campus.</p>
<p>Victim&#8217;s parents have often filed lawsuits against school districts alleging that not enough was done in order to protect the students. Officials have recently released a report stating that the gun the teen used in the shooting may have belonged to a relative.</p>
<p>Grief counselors are at the school today in order to give students the option of returning to the building before classes resume Friday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Boston Red Sox relief pitcher, Bobby Jenks, has stated that an error that was made during surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital resulted in a second emergency surgery on his spine.</p>
<p>The ordeal began on Dec. 12 when Jenks went into the hospital in order to have bone spurts removed from his spine. Two of the bone spurts were supposed to be removed, while two others were not.</p>
<p>“I don’t know whose fault it was, but there was an<a href="http://www.finneylawoffice.com/practice-areas/medical-malpractice/surgical-errors/"> error</a> done inside,’’  Jenks said. “I had four bone spurs on my spine. We talked about taking  the top two out. The third one was started and not finished. So  basically there was a serrated edge that sliced me open in two different  spots and I was leaking spinal fluid.’’</p>
<p>Two weeks later, Jenks began to have severe headaches from the leaking fluid in his body. He went back to the hospital on December 30 and had to undergo emergency surgery. Because of the sensitive area that the surgery was done on, Jenks does not know if he will be able to pitch this season. He is currently discussing with his representatives whether legal action will be taken.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new study released by researchers at Dartmouth College yesterday has stated that the use of organic brown rice syrup in itself and in other products may have higher levels of arsenic.</p>
<p>At this time, there are no federal regulations from the Food and Drug Administration on arsenic levels in food, but the study compared the &#8220;safe drinking water&#8221; levels put into place by the Environmental Protection Agency and found that some products have arsenic concentration six times this level.</p>
<p>Researchers stated that this study proves that the FDA needs to put federal regulations on the arsenic levels on food products. Because of the increased use of organic brown rice syrup in products as a healthy alternative, researchers decided to conduct this study.</p>
<p>After looking at 17 different baby formulas, the found that the two that used this type of syrup had nearly 20 times higher arsenic concentrations then the 15 formulas that did not use it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seventy-four people were killed after a riot broke out after an Egyptian soccer game.</p>
<p>According to officials, it is still unclear whether or not the riot was started because of the rivalry between the two teams or political issues in the area. The riot broke out after the game when everyone inside had to funnel out of a narrow pathway to get out of the stadium.</p>
<p>Supports of the opposing team carried clubs and knives and attacked those trapped from behind them. More than 70 people were stabbed, crushed, or suffocated to death.</p>
<p>Many are blaming the military for failing to prevent the rioting from taking place. The board for the Egyptian Soccer Federation will be questioned about the violence and the police chief in the area, Port Said, has resigned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than 66,000 tires have been recalled by Toyo Tire U.S. Corp after a possible defect was found in the tires which could cause them to fail.</p>
<p>According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company will replace all of the <a href="http://www.finneylawoffice.com/practice-areas/product-liability/defective-vehicles/">defective tires</a> with no charge beginning on Feb. 2. The recalled tires are the Toyo Extensa S/A tire size p225/60r16 97t that were produced from Sept. 2009 to Nov. 6, 2010.</p>
<p>The issue was found in the bead area of the tire. A small kink may crack if the tire is under-inflated or overloaded. The crack could cause the tire to fail and this could cause a driver to lose control and crash.</p>
<p>The recalled tired were distributed to retailers throughout the country. Owners of the tires should be contacted by these retailers in order to alert them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The captain of the Costa Concordia, that was grounded over the weekend when it was taken off course, has told officials that he ordered the ship to be &#8220;turned too late.&#8221; Four of the 11 victims in the crash have now been identified at this time.</p>
<p>This information was accidentally released from an interrogation transcript. The captain is currently on house arrest after being charged with manslaughter and abandoning ship before the passengers were safe.</p>
<p>The captain stated that he decided to take the cruise liner on this route in order to &#8220;salute a former captain&#8221; that lives on this Tuscan coast. The captain also stated that he had done this route a few times and did not have any problems, but this time the area was too shallow. By the time he made the order to change paths, it was too late.</p>
<p>Eleven people were killed in the accident and 20 more are still unaccounted for. The search for the missing people has been suspended because rescue crews fear that the Costa Concordia is slipping into deeper, rougher waters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A seventy-nine car pileup occurred on Highway 73 in Port Arthur last week. Luckily, there were no fatalities, but 54 people were injured.</p>
<p>Out of the injured, three people suffered serious injuries. Eighteen drivers involved in the crash were cited for multiple reasons including failure to stop and driving with a suspended license. When police receive the call about the wreck, it only involved four cars.</p>
<p>By the time they arrived at the scene, there were 50 cars involved. Many other drivers stopped their cars because they could not pass or to offer assistance to other drivers. Emergency crews were on the scene for hours and took nearly six hours for the roadway to be reopened. Officials have said that smoke from a nearby marsh fire and fog made it difficult for drivers to see.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After it was found that a multi-vehicle, fatal accident in Missouri was caused by a texting driver, the National Transportation Safety Board has encouraged that the use of all non-emergency portable electronics while driving should be banned in all 50 states.</p>
<p>The NTSB has encouraged the entire U.S. to change this policy in order to combat distracted driving that occurs when a person uses their cell phone while driving.</p>
<p>Many states have already banned texting while driving, but the new recommendation would be to ban the use of all devices while driving, excluding a GPS. A study done by the National Highway Traffic Administration showed that 3,092 people were killed last year as a result of <a href="http://www.finneylawoffice.com/practice-areas/car-accident/reckless-driving/">distracted driving. </a></p>
