It's National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and there's a new push to keep roads safer. In Tennessee, the state with the highest levels of distracted-driving deaths in the country, police have taken a unique approach to catching distracted drivers. Officers are riding on city buses and watching drivers around them, catching ones on their phones and then calling for backup to pull them over. "This is distracted driving week throughout the United States, and so this week, we're spending time working on our roadways to bring attention to our drivers about this type of behavior that we're trying to stop," explains Steve Dillard with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office. In California, drivers can be issued a ticket for just holding your phone behind the wheel, even at a traffic stop. Now, the National Transportation Safety Board is pushing the state to take it a step further and become the first to ban hands-free calls, saying it can still cause drivers to be distracted. But are hands-free devices really a distraction? An instructor with the MasterDrive driving school in Denver, Colorado says hands-free technology still takes the driver’s focus away from driving their vehicle. “While you're looking at your screens and trying to figure out which button to push, the cars in motion,” the instructor says. “The car is not being driven by you at that point, and at any point, things could happen.”Distracted driving claimed more than 3,000 lives in 2017 alone. 1495

It’s hard to regard Ellie as a menace.When Greg Manteufel is frustrated or feeling down, she sits by him. At night, she sleeps under his covers. At dinner, she’s there next to him, knowing he’ll throw something her way. She belies the stereotype of the vicious pit bull.“We love her like she’s our daughter,” he said of the dog.And yet, Ellie may be the reason Manteufel nearly died.Gravely ill, he lost parts of his arms and legs, as well as the skin of his nose and part of his upper lip. The cause was capnocytophaga (cap-noh-seye-TOE’-fah-gah), a germ from Ellie’s mouth or from another dog he encountered.Capnocytophaga is commonly found in the saliva of cats and dogs and almost never leads to people getting sick, unless the person has a compromised immune system. But Manteufel was perfectly healthy. In fact, he doesn’t think he’d ever used his health insurance before he fell ill.The case is extremely rare and doctors at his hospital, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, had no explanation for why he got so sick. But over the last 10 years there have been at least five other healthy people who have had severe reactions to the germ. A team of researchers connected with Harvard Medical School has developed a theory on why — a gene change in all the victims.And their finding means doctors can’t rule out the capnocytophaga bacteria could strike Manteufel and other victims again.___Greg Manteufel thought he was getting the flu in June of 2018. He had a fever, vomiting and diarrhea. But when he started getting confused, his family took him to the hospital.Doctors did blood cultures and found capnocytophaga, which caused sepsis, a severe blood infection that led to his blood pressure dropping and many of his organs shutting down.“Do what you have to,” he told the doctors.He had so much to live for — foremost, his wife of 16 years, Dawn, and 26-year-old son, Mike. He was just starting to get really good at his day job, painting houses. He cherished his Harley Davidson Electric Glide. He was in the middle of fixing up his ’66 El Camino. And of course there was Ellie, the pup.And so he persisted, through more than 20 surgeries, including amputations of his left and right arms just below the elbow, and legs through the middle of the knee.His wife and son stayed optimistic, because he was.“Greg said he didn’t come this far to lay down and let this beat him,” Dawn Manteufel said.He was out of the in-patient rehab unit in about two weeks, learning to move from his wheelchair to the bed, toilet and car. The usual stay is three to four weeks, said Dr. David Del Toro, medical director for the inpatient rehab unit at Froedtert.Manteufel made similar quick advances using his arm prosthetics and leg prosthetics.“He does not seem like any other patient I’ve met before,” Del Toro said. “He’s just, you know, full speed ahead.”Meanwhile, researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, connected to Harvard Medical School, as well as Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center had been investigating cases like his.The team has done genetic testing on five otherwise healthy people who suffered capnocytophaga infections to see if they could find anything in common. They discovered all had a gene connected to the immune system that was working differently — a genetic variant.“It was a really thrilling moment,” said Elizabeth Fieg, a genetic counselor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “The stakes are so high with these cases and the patients have gone through so much.”They believe it makes those people more susceptible to developing severe medical problems from capnocytophaga. But they are also trying to determine if there are other risk factors.Of the five in the study, three survived with amputations and two did not. Fieg hopes their research can determine why some did not survive.She also hopes if their theory is confirmed, it will help diagnose cases faster, and perhaps save lives and limbs.That’s why Greg Manteufel jumped at the chance to take part when he was approached in August.Researchers need to gather more evidence, but hope to publish their study in the next year to 18 months.___Manteufel’s life now includes frequent occupational therapy appointments to perfect his use of arm prosthetics — the kind with metal moveable hooks at the end. He’s using a fork regularly and he’s now working on picking up the TV remote, opening doorknobs, cutting vegetables and doing the dishes.He’s using shortened leg prosthetics, called stubbies, to get his body conditioned to eventually use to full-sized ones. Those are expected to arrive any day.Plastic surgeons plan another surgery to perfect his nose. They’ve already moved skin from his forehead there. It looks oversized now, but it will eventually fit in with the rest of his face.He plans to get his car revamped so he can drive with prosthetics. He wants to get a special pole so he can go fishing again. He is even considering going back to work painting.He’s also become less quiet and a lot more outgoing. “Now everybody I see wants to hear something or talk to me. I tell them a 15-minute story about what happened. They probably want me to leave, you know,” he said, chuckling.Ellie’s often by his side.“She loves kids. She loves puppies. Other dogs,” Manteufel said.As harmless as she seems, she may have capnocytophaga germ.The results of Manteufel’s genetic tests are expected in three to four months. Fieg said people with the gene variant are at increased risk for recurrent capnocytophaga or other infections in the future.While Manteufel doesn’t like the sound of that, he said Ellie’s accidentally scratched him since he’s been home and even licked his mouth. He’s been fine.And even if he does have the gene variant, he said, it changes nothing.“We didn’t even bother testing her,” said Manteufel. “We weren’t going to get rid of her if it was her that caused it anyway.”“We just love her to death.” 5972

LAKELAND, Fla. — State Attorney Brian Haas is pursuing a misdemeanor trespassing charge against a 32-year-old Lakeland woman arrested in June for taking her husband’s guns and giving them to police. Haas announced the charge during a press conference on Wednesday. He says the couple is in the middle of "particularly acrimonious" divorce and says details previously reported are exaggerated and, in some instances, false. Courtney Irby was arrested on June 15 for armed burglary of a dwelling and grand theft of a firearm. Her arrest made national headlines and drew criticism from state legislators to advocates for domestic violence victims, with many urging for the charges to be dropped. 705

Kids can set their expectations pretty high when it comes to Christmas presents. One father says his 10-year-old daughter’s wish list included an iPhone 11, AirPods, MacBook Air, and ,000 cash. To avoid going broke or disappointing your kids, parenting experts say it’s important to manage children’s expectations before the holidays roll around. “If you have an entire list of big-ticket items, it might be clues that it’s time to have a conversation about budgeting and about the value of money right and maybe start implementing some chores,” said certified parenting coach Carrington Cunnington. Cunnington says gift lists are a great tool especially for distant relatives, but children can be encouraged to think about more than just what they want.“I suggest my kids think about how could this exchange bring you and the person who you're exchanging with, how could it bring you closer together,” said Cunnington. Cunnington says it's also good to encourage your child to be a gift giver from an early age. Also, get them thinking about incorporating experiences instead of just items.“More people will remember special experiences than they will remember what was under the tree when they were 6 or 8 or 10 years old,” said Cunnington. Another approach suggested by a parenting support group is Want-Need-Wear-Read. Each kid gets one thing they want, one thing they need, something to wear and something to read. 1433
