Texas City Cracks Down on Drivers Without Auto Insurance
2011-01-04
Drivers in the city of Corpus Christi, Texas, now have even more incentive to abide by the state's car insurance mandate after local police began a new campaign this past weekend that targets the uninsured motorist problem.
Over New Year's weekend, a unit of the city's police department set up a number of checkpoints across the city where drivers were asked to show proof of insurance. If a motorist stopped at the checkpoint could not provide proof of coverage, the police were authorized to tow the vehicle to an impound yard.
For those who don't have coverage, getting ...

"Private" Posts To Social Media Discoverable in Lawsuits?
2011-01-04
Every day millions of people log on to Facebook and MySpace to post pictures of adventures and everyday events, update friends on life's happenings, and express thoughts and feelings. While using these new online social media, most assume that since they selected "private" status for their accounts, and because they only share information and pictures with their friends and family, that those who are not meant to see this information won't. But this thinking may be flawed.
Consider the logistics of keeping private the sheer volume of information flowing from social-media ...
Through Divorce, Work to Protect the Children
2011-01-04
Divorce is hard on everyone involved. It's hard on husbands and wives losing the person they thought they would spend the rest of their lives with. Wrapped up in their own emotions and stresses, parents sometimes forget how hard divorce is on their children. A simple, off-handed negative comment about an ex-spouse or an intense argument in front of the children can cause undue stress to the children.
According to family law specialist Stacy Phillips, there are ways to keep children from experiencing additional grief during the divorce process. She offers the following ...
CDC Says Reducing Motor Vehicle Injuries Is a "Winnable Battle"
2011-01-04
When most people hear Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health concerns used in the same sentence, they often think of preventable illnesses and communicable diseases. They do not think about motor vehicle accidents or injuries sustained in car crashes. But automobile collisions are a public health problem.
The CDC has identified six public health concerns as "winnable battles" -- one of those six targeted areas includes injuries from motor vehicle accidents. This designation means there will be increased attention and resources focused on preventing ...
Teen Driving Safety Promoted in Arizona Through the Driving Skills for Life Program
2011-01-04
With almost 3,000 teenagers killed in motor vehicle accidents in 2009 and another 350,000 injured, it is no surprise that car accidents are the leading cause of death for teens aged 15-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Even though drivers in this age group represent only 4 percent of the licensed drivers in Arizona, they account for 10 percent of motor vehicle accidents.
In an effort to reduce these statistics and promote safe driving, on-hands safety training was provided via the "Driving Skills for Life" program held early November in Chandler.

Divorce in the New Year: Protecting Your Business
2011-01-04
January is the month of renewal - closing the door on the negativity of the prior year and planning for the challenges of the new year. Many commit to weight loss, exercise, or stopping smoking at the start of a new year as an opportunity to make improvements in their lives.

Planning for a divorce and new life may seem daunting. Not knowing what to expect can be scary and frustrating. In a Texas Divorce, specific requirements must be met before ...
Marriage, Mortgage and Divorce: Strategies for a Secure Future
2011-01-04
Many homeowners have faced challenges in recent years, from lost jobs to plummeting home values. But life goes on in the midst of adversity, and issues such as divorce can add complexity to a host of financial issues. With wise planning and realistic negotiating positions, couples can usually figure out a way to fairly factor a home's value into the property division aspect of divorce.
While many couples will decide that one spouse will retain possession of the home, sometimes an outright sale is the most prudent strategy, particularly if financial difficulties have ...

2011-01-04
Whether you are facing a child custody dispute or anticipate coming to a relatively straightforward agreement regarding parenting your children, it is likely that you plan to meet with an attorney. While the legal process may seem daunting, keep in mind that the more thoroughly you prepare, the more easily you will be able to devise a suitable parenting plan.
Texas law clearly states that the best interest of the child is the main factor the court will look at in making custody decisions. Accordingly, Texas strives to ensure that a child has contact with both parents ...
Is there a Doctor in the Team? The Use of Primary Care Teams
2011-01-04
A recent article from U.S. News discussed the development of primary care teams, rather than individual doctors, for treating patients.
According to the story, "team" is a relatively new concept in family medicine. The writer tells of a colleague who told him, only half in jest, "My definition of good teamwork is that when I tell my office nurse to do something, he or she does it."
The concept is to examine the many elements of a visit to a doctor and change who does some of the information gathering and even some of the selection of treatments. Some medical practices ...
