2010-09-04

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, September 04, 2010 (Press-News.org) One of Australia's biggest sporting events - the AFL Grand Final - is coming to the MCG in Melbourne towards the end of next month.

The match, in which the winner of the AFL premiership season will be decided, traditionally takes place on the final Saturday of September at the famous venue.

This year will be no different, with hordes of sports fans set to book into Melbourne hotels in order to head to the match on September 25th.

Although Aussies will already be aware of the significance of the AFL Grand Final, overseas visitors may be surprised as they get swept up in the hype leading up to the event.

Indeed, the 2006 Sweeney Sports Report declared that it has now become the most important sporting contest in the country, attracting the highest TV viewing figures, the largest attendance and the most overall interest.

Given that Australia is traditionally a nation of sports lovers and the fact that it has to view for attention with the upcoming Ashes cricket series, this is quite some accolade.

As a result, it is advisable that people planning to head to the match book their hotels near MCG as soon as possible.

Ticket information and kickoff times will be confirmed closer to the event.

For more information on this event, visit the AFL website or contact the venue on (+61) 3 9657 8888.

New Florida Law Permits Device to Monitor Repeat DUI Offenders

2010-09-04

A new law will allow a person who has as many as four DUI convictions to regain their right to drive, but it also includes the requirement that an ignition interlock system be installed on the vehicle. The ignition interlock prevents the car from starting if the person attempting to drive has alcohol on their breath. While the law will allow a person with four DUI convictions to get their license back, even anti-drunk driving organizations generally find this better than simply revoking the license, because the ignition interlock allows monitoring, and it is hoped, a ...

Huge Changes in California DUI License Sanctions for Second Offenders

2010-09-04

In California, DUI offenses are currently "priorable" if they follow a DUI violation date within the previous ten years. This ten-year period is an extremely long duration time. Years ago, DUI's were priorable for five years, then more recently, for seven years. For what seemed like eons, the driver's license sanction for a second priorable DUI offense was a hard and complete one year license suspension, whereafter one could pursue a restricted license, provided they met certain conditions. For what seemed like eons, the drivers license sanction for a third priorable ...

Options for Delivering a Baby After a C-section

2010-09-04

For nearly a generation, the majority of women who have had cesarean birth have been told by the medical establishment that any future births will also have to be C-sections. This advice was based primarily on the belief that a VBAC - vaginal birth after cesarean- might cause the scar from the previous cesarean to rupture. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) now says that statistics show there is less than a 1% chance of the scar rupturing, so more women should be allowed to choose a VBAC rather than opting for a scheduled cesarean.This statistical ...

2010-09-04

There are many reasons why people in Arizona may need to explore legal remedies for unbearable debt.
