Ethnicity, Scarring and Plastic Surgery
2011-01-09
Scarring is one of the most common concerns for anyone considering plastic surgery. Ethnicity plays a large role in determining your risk of excessive scarring. People with non-Caucasian ancestry are at a greater risk of developing visible scars, thick scar, raised scars, and skin discoloration. The darker the skin the more the risk increases. However, as plastic surgery has advanced, plastic surgeons have learned techniques that can prevent or minimize scarring in high-risk patients.

Federal Reserve Proposal Would Hamper Ability to Fight Foreclosure
2011-01-09
The Federal Reserve (Fed) is considering a rule that would seriously diminish borrowers' ability to keep their homes when they are facing foreclosure. Numerous consumer advocacy groups are protesting the proposal, saying that it would destroy an important homeowner right.
Currently, the law protects homebuyers who signed mortgage documents that were inaccurate or improperly processed. That protection will be loosened if the Fed goes forward with the proposed rule.

High Court to Decide Reach of Anti-Retaliation Provisions
2011-01-09
Federal law provides employees with important protections against discrimination in the workplace, including discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age and disability.

Lack of Standard for Drugged Driving in New York Affects Enforcement
2011-01-09
The breathalyzer has become the most well-known tool in the fight against drunk driving. But what about drugged driving? No single device has yet been created to test a person for all of the drugs that might impair a driver. Some field tests of saliva have been developed that test for marijuana, cocaine, and other drugs. But even if drugs are detected in a person's system, the laws of many states do not currently have established standards for what constitutes "drugged driving."
The standard for drunk driving is well-established across the country. All 50 states currently ...

Data Mining Violating Fourth Amendment Protections?
2011-01-09
The Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable searches and seizures is a cornerstone of our criminal justice system. Unfortunately for some, that protection is being unwittingly eroded through data mining. The practice of analyzing vast amounts of electronic data on personal dealings, from shopping preferences to Facebook updates, is commonly used by marketing agencies to streamline advertising campaigns.
However, law enforcement agencies are now mining data to monitor suspected criminal activity and identify potential terrorist threats. Personal data derived from ...
