PALO ALTO, CA, February 25, 2014 (Press-News.org) The state of New York has completely redesigned its driver's license and added some 30 enhanced security features, although information on just some of the features will be made available to the public. A laser-engraved personal data and black-and-white holder's photo, a ghost image that floats in a transparent window, variable type, and UV features on both sides are among the new security measures.
In an effort to curb the use of fake licenses and to support underage prevention efforts, the new license is made of a rigid polycarbonate material that makes it difficult to fabricate or alter the document. To aid restaurants, bars, and retailers in preventing underage drinking, the minor's license is now in a vertical format, which makes identifying minors a snap. For more information on underage drinking prevention and the I.D. Checking Guide, visit: http://driverslicenseguide.com/alcohol-control.html
Knowing what the new license looks like and what its security features are makes performing a driver's license check for fake id detection quick and easy. Identification of fake licenses is further enhanced with the information license number configurations, terms for non-U.S. citizens/residents, and other key details.
The new New York license is shown at full size and in full color, and its security features are detailed, in the new 2014 I.D. Checking Guide, which will be available on February 1, 2014. The new edition also includes images and descriptions of several other new license formats, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Trusted Traveler Programs cards, employment authorization cards, tax exemption cards, military IDs, and other forms of government-issued identification documents.

Seamen injured on Louisiana drilling rig may seek "punitive" damages
2014-02-25
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently ruled that the victims in a drilling rig accident on a Louisiana waterway may seek "punitive" damages in their lawsuit against the company. The accident resulted in the death of one seaman and injuries to three others.
Because the accident occurred on a barge on a navigable waterway (Bayou Sorrell), the matter is covered by maritime law.
While the lower court agreed with the company's argument that this particular claim for damages is not available under statutory maritime law, the federal ...
Estate planning considerations common to baby boomers in Colorado
2014-02-25
If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you are a member of the baby boomer generation. At the end of World War II, returning military personnel married in droves and, shortly thereafter, had many babies, creating a "baby boom." As this generation of children aged, they gained a reputation as the wealthiest and most physically fit generation of their time.
Whether due to a struggling economy or the high cost of long-term medical care, the parents of baby boomers often do not have many financial resources to leave behind as they pass away. However, longevity ...
Statistics show PA workers' comp prescription costs among highest
2014-02-25
The workers' compensation system provides a crucial safety net for people hurt on the job, as anyone in Pennsylvania, who has faced a workplace injury knows. Unfortunately, recent reports indicate that Pennsylvania is among the states with the highest workers' compensation program costs resulting from physician dispensing of prescription drugs. Although this may not directly affect people who draw on workers' compensation, it could put a financial strain on the workers' compensation system, making it harder for injured workers to receive the benefits they are entitled to.

How old is too old to drive? The answer varies
2014-02-25
As our loved ones get holder, we owe it to them to do our part to help them stay safe and healthy. In some cases, this may mean having a difficult discussion about whether your elderly friend or relative should still be driving a car.
Some elderly people will be able to drive safely for their entire lives. However, for others, the physical and mental changes that come with getting older substantially increase the likelihood of a serious, or even fatal, car accident.
Recognizing the warning signs
Because age related changes often come on gradually, it can be hard ...
SSA increases oversight of judges in disability determinations
2014-02-25
In an effort to improve consistency in the disability determination process, the Social Security Administration recently announced plans to step up its oversight of the administrative law judges who are responsible for awarding or denying disability benefits.
The Social Security Disability Insurance program provides financial benefits to people who are unable to work because of a mental or physical disability. The program has increased substantially in the years since the U.S. economy took a downturn in 2008, and there are now approximately 11 million people receiving ...

2014-02-25
Many motorists in Connecticut have experienced a situation where they narrowly avoid being in a car crash.

Investigative sting uncovers a purported sex trafficking operation
2014-02-25
A lengthy investigative operation, which narrowed in on sex trafficking at the recent Super Bowl, has led to the ultimate liberation of 25 child prostitutes and the detention of at least 45 individuals. The adult suspects have been arrested for purportedly exploiting young children as prostitutes in New Jersey, federal authorities indicate.

Can you make your spouse leave the marital home in an Illinois divorce?
2014-02-25
In many cases, one spouse voluntarily leaves the home when a couple decides to divorce. However, some spouses refuse to leave the home, even though the other spouse tries to force the issue. Illinois law does allow one spouse to make the other leave in certain cases, and an appellate court ruling handed down in June 2012 helped clarify when one spouse can make the other leave their home.
Illinois law about possessing the marital home
There are two ways that a person can force his or her spouse to leave the marital home in Illinois. A person can file a petition for ...
Bankruptcy protection extends to people from all walks of life
2014-02-25
The perceived social stigma attached to bankruptcy makes filing for financial protection unattractive to some. Many people worry how bankruptcy will affect their credit rating, future purchasing power and their ability to provide for their family. Bankruptcy can feel like "giving up" -- there may be feelings of personal failure, or guilt and shame when contemplating bankruptcy. But bankruptcy is not waving a white flag of surrender; it is acknowledging a tricky problem and resolving it in the best way possible. Contrary to many popular notions, bankruptcy is a ...
