Pizza for the locals... Pizzeria 712

    Pizzeria 712

    Hello UT locals or welcomed visitors... if you are looking for a great place to eat tonight or this weekend and haven't tried Pizzeria 712, you've got to give it a whirl. A friend and I ate here for lunch today (even with the kids who liked their ham + cheese panini) and it was as yummy as always, and we even sat outside. It is one of my favorite UT county spots.

    (ps. If you are a local UT reader, let me know!)

Under the Same Moon

    Under the Same Moon

    How many of you enjoy foreign films? It is tricky to find someone who will sit down and watch one with me, (not everyone loves to read subtitles) but this last weekend a friend and I watched Under the Same Moon. This inspirational flick tells a story about the challenges of immigration with great heart through a young boy's long journey seeking to unite with his mother again. It has a universal appeal, is gripping at times, but of course ends well. The little boy's character was both uplifting and endearing. Watch the trailer here.

    What about you ... have you seen any interesting films lately?

    Regina Spektor, Far


    Regina's new album Far comes out June 23rd, (pre-order here) but did you see her new video that came out a few days ago? Perhaps some inspiration for the video came from this surrealist painting by Dali, and this by Escher? Thoughts?

Nissan Murano SUVs Recalled For Crash Potential

    Recently, Nissan and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posted a notice about recalling 362,891 Murano SUVs from model year 2003 to 2007 due to a potential problem with their air-duct intakes that can lead to a crash.

    According to the report, “The intake air ducts, which are connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This separation occurs due to the premature aging of the material used in the intake air ducts which causes excessive shrinking.” This would cause the engine to stall and increase the chances of a car crash accident.

    Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of unintended deaths in the United States. While auto accidents do happen because of driver error or negligence, auto manufacturers are equally responsible for ensuring vehicle and car occupant safety.

    It’s a relief that car manufacturers like Nissan really exert a lot of effort to protect consumers against possible product liability. A single defective car part can have an immense effect, not just on the life of its consumer but of the public as well. A Murano SUV stalling could be the root of a multiple vehicle car crash on the freeway.

    Nissan has advised owners to wait until they receive notice before bringing in their vehicles since recall information may not be updated at dealerships. Letters regarding the recall will be sent to owners starting the first week of July. The Nissan recall hot line is 800-647-7261.

    All in a Day by award winning author Cythia Rylant not only has a sweet message, but has breathtakingly beautiful art by Nikki McClure. I still can't get over the fact that talented Washingtonian (Go Olympia!) Nikki does all of the above paper-cuts by hand. If you look close at the above photos, all of the hand-cut black space is connected, wow she is incredible. A great overall children's book.

To Heal and Not to Harm

    “Surgeons must be very careful
    When they take the knife!
    Underneath their fine incisions
    Stirs the Culprit - Life!”
    -- Emily Dickinson

    Discounting token visits to family and/or friends, we all go to hospitals or see a doctor for one reason: to get better or to ensure our health and well-being. The rising number of medical malpractices cases though, is enough to make one wary.

    Recently, the California Department of Public Health fined 13 hospitals $25,000 for violating health codes that endangered patients.

    Hospital violations penalized include the facilities’ failure to follow policies and procedures to ensure safe and effective use of medications, use and maintenance of respiratory equipment and blood transfusion. Three of these hospitals were found to have left foreign objects inside their patients.

    Three out of ten hospitals—meaning, if you are scheduled to undergo surgery in any of these hospitals in California, you have a 23% chance of ending up with like say, a glove inside your stomach.

    Take for example, St. Jude in Fullerton. According to the state report, although this is the facility’s first administrative penalty, it was fined $25,000 after a plastic drape was left in a patient's body during a July hysterectomy. The patient had to undergo a second surgery for its removal.

    University of California Irvine Medical Center on the other hand, was fined $50,000. It committed two violations when the health and safety of a patient was jeopardized when the hospital failed to follow its policies and procedures for fall prevention and when another patient’s safety was compromised when an allegation of physical assault was not investigated timely.

    It’s great that the State is exerting a lot of effort in protecting and promoting the health of its residents by keeping an eye on its hospitals but for some victims of medical malpractice, it may not be enough or it may be too late. In some instances, victims of medical malpractice may have no other recourse left but to institute medical malpractice claim. This can be painful and expensive on both ends.

    Patients pay to get proper medical attention and literally place their lives and limbs in the hands of their doctors and hospitals. There is a sacred trust and responsibility reposed on medical practitioners and health facilities that must provide quality patient care. A single act of negligence on the part of these health professionals carry a devastating effect in the lives of so many people.

Sundance

    Sundance

    My sweet husband surprised me last night and took me up to Sundance and out to dinner. It reminded me of how much I love the beauty of nature. If you are ever in Utah, or live here... it is a wonderful place to visit.

    A quote on the wall read,

    "This place in the mountains,
    amid nature's casualness toward death and birth,
    is the perfect host for the inspiration of ideas:
    harsh at times, life-threatening in its winters of destruction
    but tender in attention to the details
    of every petal of every wildflower resurrected in the spring.
    Nature and creativity obey the same laws,
    to the same end: life.
    -Robert Redford.

Twitter



    Among the growing list of the social media Twitter is smoking hot, well it has been for a while, tweeting since '06, but lately I've seen a lot of people sidestepping off the facebook bandwagon and onto the Twitter mobile. For those unaware, it is kind of like text messaging to the masses (read about it here) How many of you use Twitter? I've been tweeting for a little bit but am still trying to get the hang of it. Follow me here.

    Some people were born to tweet, others including myself may still be a little confused about it all, but for the first time this week, I found it enjoyable to update, read other people's tweets, and quickly converse tidbits about various topics.

    What are your thoughts about twitter? What do you tweet about? Who is one of your favorite people to follow?

Maryland Personal Injury Offsets to Underinsured Coverage by Workers Compensation Benefits Received.

    In a Maryland personal injury case, there is a some what complicated situation that exist when multiple policies of insurance are all at play in the plaintiff's recovery. An interesting case was recently decided in the matter of Blackburn v Erie involving under insured coverage and workers compemsation insurance. This situation involves a fairly complicated mess of who gets what from the insurance coverage and who is entitled to what as off sets to avoid a wind fall recovery to the plaintiff. The first part of the equation is easy. When the under insured coverage is greater then the liability coverage the under insured coverage must pay the deficient. Of course this assumes a policy limits offer. It becomes more interesting and perhaps more complex when you throw in a workers compensation policy. You encounter this situation when a worker is injured in car accident for example. In this case when the workers compensation carrier has paid benefits the under insured carrier wants an off set to their coverage equal to the benefit received by the plaintiff. As such no wind fall by coverage duplication. Normally this argument arises when the workers compensation carrier has reduced their lien by some figure. In this case the under insured carrier says well then reduce what we owe to plaintiff by the amount of the reduction in the workers compensation lien. And guess what the courts in Maryland agree with the under insured motorist on this point.
