A Pennsylvania man has been accused of stalking his ex-wife. Police say he followed his ex-wife for weeks and attacked her as she was getting out of her car in a darkened parking lot. As the woman was pulling into a darkened parking lot of a welding company, the man jumped into the car, grabbed her by the head and neck and pulled out a .38 caliber gun. The gun was, apparently, loaded. Prior to the incident, the man had been calling his former wife all day. He had been threatening o kill himself.

Recently, a man and woman were arguing in a parking lot. A witness to the argument pulled the two apart. Shortly afterwards they returned to their argument. This is when the man grabbed the woman and bit off part of her ear. Prior to this incident, the police had been called and responded to what they thought was a rape claim. When they arrived on the scene, they found the woman on the ground covered in blood from here. After the man bit the woman's ear, he apparently took off. While he could outrun the police, he could not outrun the K9 unit. The dog caught up to the man and bit him on his foot. He was later treated for the injury at a local hospital and charged with maiming without malice and assault inflicting serious bodily injury.

A study recently released by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta reveals that many parents are uninformed about the potential link between newborn jaundice and brain injuries. When they are born, many infants' livers have not fully developed, resulting in a condition known as jaundice. Because this condition is not rare among newborns and usually does not have long-term consequences, many parents are assured not to worry unless symptoms persist or become worse. According to the survey, over 70% of respondents had never heard of kernicterus, a condition caused by elevated levels of a chemical known as bilirubin. Because these levels are usually regulated by the liver, kernicterus can be a secondary condition resulting from jaundice. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries due to a health worker's negligence, you be eligible for compensation.
