A ruling by a California court upholds the legality of the Port of Los Angeles' Clean Truck Program and may improve the air you breathe by ensuring commercial trucks preform appropriate maintenance according to a press release Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

The legal ruling now places responsibility of maintaining their trucking fleet on the commercial trucking companies. "This victory bolsters the standing of burgeoning clean port programs across the nation," said Melissa Lin Perrella, senior attorney with NRDC's Southern California Air Program. "Millions of people live in port communities across the country and are forced to subsidize the operations of outdated port operations with their lungs. This decision allows the Port of Los Angeles to continue introducing cleaner trucks while getting dirty ones off the road and sets the stage for healthier communities nationwide."

Ellis Moser and his Proud Parents Of course, we knew he was going to be a boy months ago. There are few surprises in obstetrics anymore, unless of course, you are having a litter of septuplets that end up to be octuplets at the time of delivery. New parents are very excited when they spot the weenie on the ultrasound. In the old days, we had to wait until the baby was born to know what parts they wore. When I saw pregnant patient in those days, I would always guess the sex of their unborn baby. Surprisingly, I was right 50% of the time.

Training people to avoid falls by repeatedly exposing them to unstable situations in the laboratory helped them to later maintain their balance on a slippery floor, according to new research from the Journal of Neurophysiology.
