Nearly anyone who heads out for a walk on a regular basis likely keeps an eye out for drivers who may be distracted or operating recklessly. If you’re on foot in November, your risk of getting killed is far greater than at other times of the year, according to a study released by two Carnegie Mellon University researchers.

The researchers concluded that the November time change to standard time, or the end of daylight-saving time, has an impact on drivers, who may need weeks to get used to the new daylight patterns.

The study finds that the adjustment leads to a 300 percent greater chance of pedestrians being struck and killed by a car for the first few weeks after the return to standard time.

n what can only be described as a “sign of the times” to quote the much over used expression. 25 injury law firms around the United States have been awarded “Best Of The Web” by the organization Law Wire News. The factors to determine the winners were depth of website content, use of video, use of social media and use of mobile devices. The idea behind the contest was in part to encourage law firms to reach a new generation of people who may not be looking to traditional yellow pages when injured or understand they have rights in many cases.

Attorneys representing a 29-year-old man says he was abused from 1992 to 1994 by Sandusky during a press conference, Nov. 30, 2011.

The latest person to accuse former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky of sexual abuse also claims that Sandusky threatened to hurt the boy’s family if he ever told anyone about the abuse.

Sandusky’s newest accuser, who is now 29, had not told anyone about the abuse until he read about the grand jury presentment charging Sandusky with 40 counts of child molestation over 15 years, his lawyer Jeff Anderson said today. Until that time, he had thought he was the only victim.

The man, whose identity was not released, issued a statement that said, “I don’t want other kids to be abused by Jerry Sandusky or anybody like Penn State to allow people like him to do it-rape kids! I never told anybody what he did to me over 100 times at all kinds of places until the newspapers reported that he had abused other kids.”

“I am hurting and have been for a long time because of what happened, but feel now even more tormented that I have learned of so many other kids were abused after me,” he said.
