Will economic recovery mean more divorces in California?
2014-02-28
A recent report by the Los Angeles Times addressed a study finding the divorce rate across the country is on the rise. According to the study, the current spike in the divorce rate is directly connected to the economic recovery. This finding was also supported in a piece recently published through Johns Hopkins University. According to a sociologist at the prestigious university, the divorce uptick is similar to a "Depression-era pattern." Although the rate of divorce decreased approximately 25 percent during the Great Depression, the depression did not reduce ...
More teens delay getting their driver's licenses
2014-02-28
For many teenagers across the U.S., getting a driver's license is an exciting rite of passage. It may come as a surprise that a recent study by AAA has shown that more and more teenagers are delaying this important milestone, instead waiting to get their licenses after they are young adults. According to AAA, only about 44 percent of teenagers got their licenses within a year of turning 16; by 18, barely over half were licensed drivers.

Can I erase back taxes in a bankruptcy?
2014-02-28
Bankruptcy can be lifesaver for so many people drowning under debt they know they can't pay back. It can erase credit card debt, medical bills, and many other types of unsecured debt and give people the opportunity to start on a fresh financial footing.
However, discharging debt in bankruptcy has its limitations; not all debt can be erased. Amid the upcoming tax season, many people have questioned whether back taxes can be discharged in a bankruptcy as well. The answer is: it depends.

A recent study has shown that primary care doctors are seemingly at a higher frequency of missing the proper diagnosis when it comes to heart disease in women.

New federal regulations may not be enough to eliminate trucker fatigue
2014-02-28
An attempt to increase the safety of the nation's roadways is receiving criticism from the commercial trucking industry. Forbes and The Wall Street Journal recently ran articles addressing the issue, with interviews of a number of leaders in the commercial truck driving business as well as those who operate the vehicles. Both claim new regulations put in place by the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) are not reducing truck driver fatigue.
Instead, the truckers argue the new regulations have cut down on their productivity. ...
April trial date scheduled for transvaginal mesh MDL
2014-02-28
Surgical mesh has been around for decades. In the 1950s, it was solely used to repair hernias. However, in the mid 1990s, the Food and Drug Administration approved the product to treat weak pelvic floor muscles--mainly in females. Manufactures then began manufacturing transvaginal mesh.
What is transvaginal mesh?
Transvaginal mesh is essentially a synthetic surgical mesh sling. The mesh device is utilized to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse--a condition that occurs when the pelvic muscles become too weak to support the body's internal organs. The mesh device is also used ...
Bankruptcy may be the solution to the ills caused by underemployment
2014-02-28
As the economy improves from the recession of 2008, more and more people who were previously unemployed are returning to work. Although this is mainly a good thing, many are suffering from the problem of underemployment. This problem often manifests itself when a person takes a job that pays significantly less than their previous position. It can also occur in minimum wage jobs that simply do not pay enough to cover basic living expenses or do not offer benefits like health insurance.
Unfortunately a new job may do little to relieve financial burdens. Some individuals ...
Crash highlights importance of gaining experience, driving responsibly
2014-02-28
Getting a driver's license at age 16 is an exciting time for many teenagers. In order to earn their licenses, most will undergo months of supervised driving and safety education to gain experience and learn how to drive in dangerous conditions. Laws exist in Nevada and every other U.S. state that require teenage drivers to obtain a learner's permit while learning how to drive. This is an important safeguard; car accidents are the leading cause of death of teenagers in the U.S., say the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In 2010, 20 drivers between the ages of ...
Snowball fight suspension calls attention to college crime consequences
2014-02-28
The occasional escapade or questionable decision is practically an inevitable part of the college experience, as many students in Washington County, Oregon, know firsthand. Unfortunately, occasionally situations get out of hand and students find themselves facing charges of college student crimes. A seemingly innocent snowball fight that recently led to the suspension of one University of Oregon student and talks of criminal charges against others underscored the fact that college crimes can happen and have unexpected consequences.

Dialing while driving is the most distracting activity behind the wheel
2014-02-28
Over the past several years, there have been a number of studies that have discussed the dangers of using cellphones while behind the wheel. However, a recent study has found that the most dangerous aspect of using a cellphone while driving is dialing a number, rather than talking on the phone itself.
The study, which was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tracked the driving habits of 109 experienced drivers (average of 20 years driving experience) and 42 young drivers that had just been issued their licenses. To keep tabs on the participants ...
