How to claim your assets as exempt when filing a personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Your debts disappear and you can keep all or most of your assets.

Officials and generally ignorant people in the city of Denver have outlawed the pit bull breed of dogs.

However, owners of existing pit bulls can keep their dog if the meet new regulations, including a special, breed-specific licensing fee of $200, carrying $100,000 of liability insurance, be at least 21 years of age, and post warning signs in the front of their land.  Except for the licensing, this is all fine and dandy. Its what responsible dog owners would do anyways.

the ban is not just due to urban legends regarding the breed, but alot to do with irresponsible ownership. If the dog is owned by bad owners, he  is a victim of his environment, then who is at fault, the dog or his owner?

Most pit bull owners dont bother to carry insurance. And many fail to keep the animals on their own property. Even ones that have shown themselves to be aggressive.

Obviously other breeds will bite, but the kicker is this:  most dog owners will have insurance, for whatever reason this breed tends to have owners that miss that whole train of though.

Give pits a break, hold the owners accountable!

Most everyone will have their wisdom teeth removed, its a very common procedure.  however if its done incorrectly, the patient can end up with a permanently numb tongue. Sensation and taste are delivered to the tongue through the lingual nerve.

The day after the tooth extraction if your tongue is still numb you should report this issue to the surgeaon who performed the work. Consider getting a second opinion from a clinic that examines and evaluates lingual nerve damage. This shoudl be done forthright if you are wanting to get the nerve repaired. Most oral surgeons believe the success rate is higher if it is addressed quickly.

Caution,  some patients who have an injured lingual nerve are informed that it was part of the consent form the patient signed or was a calculated risk of the procedure — that is nonsense and  irrelevant. The real issue is whether the wisdom tooth extraction was performed properly or not.
