The controversy over Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and his conflict with a Cambridge, Mass., police officer just won't die. A Boston policeman is now suing that city and its police department after he was suspended for referring to Gates as a "banana-eating jungle monkey" in an e-mail he sent to a Boston Globe columnist and to other officers on the force, said Weinberg Law Firm, Texas Labor Lawyer.
Los Angeles Women drinking more, DUI arrests up, experts say
LOS ANGELES – On Thursday, Daniel Schuler refused to accept an autopsy report that showed his wife had the equivalent of 10 drinks and smoked marijuana within an hour of the wrong-way highway crash that killed her and seven other people.
"I never saw her drunk since the day I met her," Daniel Schuler told reporters outside his attorney's office.
But a preliminary autopsy of Diane Schuler ruled out a stroke, heart attack or aneurysm, Westchester County officials said. The medical examiner said Thursday that he stood by his report that found her blood-alcohol level was more than twice the state's legal limit, she still had undigested alcohol in her stomach, and she had high levels of the key ingredient in marijuana in her system, said Michael Bialys, Los Angeles DUI lawyer.

Inept doctor left deadly trail, brain injury lawsuit says
John Q. Kelly, New York brain injury lawyer, referred to a gallbladder surgery in which the patient "is now at UK in the ICU (intensive care unit) because Dr. Gunn stapled her common duct instead of the cystic duct. A liver transplant surgeon is trying to fix the mess."
Wrote Gallenstein: "I was surprised that this was not the only case."
"I can understand a physician making a mistake but this is over the top," Gallenstein wrote. "... I am afraid for the safety of the patients in this community. I will no longer refer patients to him."
On Dec. 6, 2005, Gunn performed surgery on Lang at Meadowview.

Court clerk claims sexual harassment by Weber County Justice Court judge
Weber County Justice Court Judge Craig Storey's longtime court clerk says the judge admitted to some misconduct after she complained to the state's judicial watchdogs he had sexually harassed her.
But on Tuesday, she says, the sexual harassment lawyer Orange County decided to admonish the judge in private and close the case. That prompted Marcia Eisenhour, 49, to go public with the incident, claiming while the judge is off the hook she is left to return to a hostile work environment.
Commission proceedings are secret unless the commission recommends public discipline and executive director Colin Winchester declined any comment.
But Ogden attorney Brenda Beaton told The Salt Lake Tribune that Storey, 55, admitted to the JCC that he wrote a sexually explicit poem about Eisenhour, described for her a dream in which she was washing dishes in the court's break room while naked from the waist up and that he had called and said he loved her after her father died.

Public works manager pleads guilty to DUI
Friday, June 12, 2009
By Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Mr. Barley was stopped on Oct. 12 after leaving a city outing at Butler's LakeVue North Golf Course. The city paid the club $3,060 -- enough for 60 people, including food and beer, based on prices on the course Web site.
The outing was part of the Personnel Department's CityFit Wellness at Work Program, a push to encourage healthy behavior by the city's 3,325 workers.
After Mr. Barley left, though, police got reports of a Jeep Cherokee "all over the road" on Route 8, and pulled him over. According to the police report, he confirmed that he had been drinking at a golf outing, and tests found an 0.184 blood alcohol content, more than twice the legal limit.
At his trial on Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to DUI. He was sentenced to 60 days of house arrest, including 72 hours wearing an electronic monitoring device. He can work, but not drive.
Told by a reporter of Mr. Barley's guilty plea on Wednesday, Mr. Costa said it was "news to me."
"He's the one who checks the driver's licenses" of employees to determine if any are driving with a suspended license, he added.

Supergraphics and the Los Angeles Skyline
According to the Los Angeles Times:
A company that installs the oversized advertisements known as supergraphics has gone to court to demand that Los Angeles let it keep images on as many as 118 multistory buildings while federal judges review challenges to city billboard regulations.
I for one could not be happier that they are being asked to remove those over-sized billboards. Not only do I dislike them, I think that they are a hazard to traffic in the city of Los Angeles.
Though I have never personally been in an accident that has been caused by these things, I would have to believe that there have been plenty of people who have. Maybe even enough that they could organize and file a class action lawsuit, maybe get themselves one of them fancy Los Angeles personal injury attorneys.
