From rss.justia
A Miami-Dade grand jury says that the state is not doing enough to fight Florida nursing home negligence. The grand jury issued its report, aALFs: a Call for Greater Interagency Communication and a Cry for More Citizen Volunteers,” earlier this month after a two month-investigation that was instigated following a series of articles in the Miami Herald called Neglected to Death. The newspaper reported that even though at least 70 frail elderly seniors have died from nursing home neglect or abuse in the last decade, almost all of the assisted living facilities where the deaths occurred were allowed to stay in operation.
The grand juryas report blames the Agency for Health Care Administration for allowing dangerous assisted living facilities to stay open and not taking more effective action to protect nursing home patients by cracking down on abusers, rogue operators, and troubled facilities. The jurors said that seeing as there has been an aexplosiona in the number of ALFas in the last five years, the state needs to do a better job of enforcement to prevent Florida nursing home abuse and neglect.
Other recommendations by the grand jury (as reported by the Miami Herald): Our Miami nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers have seen firsthand the devastating effect that mistreatment and poor nursing care can have on a patientas health and emotional well-being. The state must do everything possible to provide consequences so that negligent ALF operators buckle down and do a better job of taking care of our sick and elderly.
If you suspect Miami nursing home negligence, you should immediately remove your loved one from the unsafe environment and report what happened. Tell the authorities and speak with a Miami-Dade County personal injury law firm.

A private nursing patient is suing A.S.A. Home Care, Inc. for Miami nursing negligence. A private nursing patient is suing A.S.A. Home Care, Inc. for Miami nursing negligence. The patient, who is a paraplegic, claims that a male home health care nurse assaulted him.
The plaintiff, known as John Doe, says he rebuffed the nurseas sexual advances right away. Yet, per the Miami personal injury complaint, the nurse persisted, showing the patient porn and giving him a sex toy.
The plaintiff says the nurse would take longer than the other nurses to replace his bandages when treating a wound on his back close to his buttock. Although he couldnat feel or see what was happening, the plaintiff said he felt unusual sensations in the genital area. John Doe also says that the nurse sodomized him in 2008.
Per the Miami nursing negligence lawsuit, when confronted the nurse begged the patient not to report what happened. The plaintiff is accusing ASA of failing to properly supervise or investigate complaints made about the nurse and not providing a patient with a secure and safe environment. The plaintiff is claiming severe physical, mental, and emotional injuries, humiliation, and shame. He is seeking over $5M in Miami, Florida personal injury damages.
Sexual Assault of Nursing Home Patients Nursing patients require specialized care because they need help. This places them in a very vulnerable position when their well-being is being entrusted to others. While many nurses are dedicated to doing a good job, there are those that have been known to exploit their position to inflict intentional harm on patients. Sexual assault, rape, molestation, physical assault, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and harassment are some intentional acts of violence that an abusive nurse might inflict upon a patient.
Because of their disabilities and injuries, many nursing patients are too sick, frail, or unable to report the incidents of abuse or neglect. Some may be too frightened to speak out.
If you suspect Miami nursing home abuse or neglect, you should remove your loved one from the dangerous situation immediately and report the incident to the authorities. If the person is a hired home nurse, you should keep him/her away from the patient.
The victim may be entitled to Miami nursing home negligence damages for the harm he/she suffered. In Florida, plaintiffs have four years from the date of injury to file their Miami personal injury complaint. Also, the statute of limitations for Miami medical malpractice against medical professionals is within two years of the date of injury or two years from when the injury was/should have been discoveredaunless fraud or misrepresentation or concealment involvedain which case this time frame may be extended.

GM Billy King says UCLA forward is ‘in the mix’
By his own admission, Tyler Honeycutt did not have a good day working out in front of the Nets brass Thursday in East Rutherford.
“To be honest, it’s probably the worst workout I’ve had so far,” said Honeycutt, a slender, 6-8 small forward from UCLA. “Just normal, easy stuff I usually make wasn’t going in today, so just a little rest will help.”
His workout for the Nets was his 12th overall, he thought, and third in three days, after performing in Philadelphia on Wednesday and Washington on Tuesday.
“Fatigue is starting to kick in a little bit,” he said. “I’ve just got to suck it up from here on out.”
Not to worry. The Nets understood all that as they watched Honeycutt and five other players — including local products Jeremy Hazell (Seton Hall), Jonathan Mitchell (Rutgers) and Rashad Bishop of Paterson and the University of Cincinnati — play some spirited three-on-three at their practice facility.
“He didn’t shoot as well, and I think he’d tell you that,” Nets GM Billy King said. “(But) talking to other GMs, he had good workouts some places, other places he didn’t. So trust me, he’s in the mix.”
Honeycutt, 20, averaged 12.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and a Pac-10-leading 2.1 blocked shots as a sophomore last season, and shot 40.6 percent from the field, including 36.2 percent from 3-point range.
“He’s very athletic,” King said of Honeycutt, who was a star volleyball player in high school and credits that with helping him develop his leaping ability and shot-blocking skills. “He had some very good games in college. He didn’t shoot the ball well here today, but he’s athletic. His body’s a little frail (6-8, 188), but there was another guy from UCLA, back in ’87, who had a frail body that lasted 18 years — Reggie Miller.”
It wasn’t the first time someone had compared Honeycutt to Miller, the former Indiana Pacers great who retired as the most prolific 3-point shooter in NBA history, holding that distinction until Ray Allen broke his record for 3-pointers this season. The folks in Indiana brought Miller’s name up after Honeycutt had perhaps his best showing of the pre-draft workout circuit there.
“It’s a great player to be compared to,” said Honeycutt, who has never met Miller. “His name speaks for itself, what he’s done.”
Most of the mock drafts already vary widely, but Honeycutt is generally expected to be a first-round pick at next week’s NBA Draft, most likely going somewhere in the 20s. The Nets have the 27th pick and could definitely use a small forward who can shoot and play defense.
NOTES
The other two players who worked out were power forwards Carleton Scott of Notre Dame and Chris Wright of Dayton.
The Nets’ next and final individual workouts will be Monday.
Bishop, who went to Kennedy High School and St. Benedict’s Prep, was asked about getting a workout by his hometown team.
“It feels good to be back right there in your hometown, home state working out for a team,” he said. “It’s big. It just shows kids coming up behind me that you can do a lot of things from where we come from as long as you work hard.”

In Mildred Holt, 105, Johnny Carson met his match
From feeds.washingtonpost
Exhaustive as it was, the American Masteras documentary aJohnny Carson: King of Late Nighta on PBS Monday left out one of Carsonas favorite guests. She was my great-grandmother, Mildred Holt.
I suppose itas a forgivable oversight. The stooped, frail-looking woman in a powder-blue dress was neither a celebrity nor a newsmaker when she appeared on aThe Tonight Showa in August 1987. She was just a little old lady from a tiny town in Kansasaand by old, I mean historic. She was 105 at the time. But she had all her marbles, as well as a fierce, straight-shooting wit, and that was enough for Carson. Read full article >>

As an alternative to more traditional methods of learning about business and commerce, Capital Online Revenue introduces a new “earn and learn” training program.
Though business colleges remain in great supply, more and more Americans are turning to alternative sources of training and education, particularly during these days of economic upset and uncertainty. The simple truth is that with layoffs so prevalent and incomes so unsteady, investing in a full-time business education simply isn’t a viable option for many entrepreneurs. Instead, they are looking to business training modules that allow for on-the-job training, providing a way to master the tools of the trade even while making a profit. Capital Online Revenue continues to spearhead this movement with the introduction of its new “earn-and-learn” business training techniques.
Different from both traditional business education courses and even other online endeavors, Capital Online Revenue is a service that extends to customers a wealth of resources for learning about online business. What makes Capital Online Revenue services unique, however, is the fact that its training techniques are implemented in real-time. In other words, customers are both learning about online business and establishing their own online business both at the same time.
Though the notion of a make-money-online opportunity is hardly new, the methods being introduced by Capital Online Revenue are unlike anything yet devised by its competitors.
