TD-Tronics Selects McCusker & Company Consumer Electronics Product Protection Plan

Customers offered in-home and carry-in service options under contract.

2010-09-16

LEAWOOD, KS, September 16, 2010 (Press-News.org) McCusker & Company, a national leading provider of service program warranty consulting services, today was named the service contract program provider for TD-Tronics, an Illinois-based retailer of consumer home electronics such as plasma and LCD televisions.

McCusker & Company will offer TD-Tronics customers a full range of in-home and carry-in television extended warranty service plans ranging from two-years to five-years after the initial manufacturer warranty. The coverage is extended to all types of television sets, including tube, projection, DLP, LCD and even plasma sets.

"We designed the plan to give customers the ultimate flexibility in a comprehensive service plan," said McCusker & Company President Will L. McCusker. "Customers not only have a choice of how long they want the plan in effect, but they can also choose to have the item repaired in their home which is a very convenient benefit."

It also provides TD-Tronics with a new revenue share opportunity that allows them to outsource their service repairs to a fully trained consumer electronics trained team and receive some revenue for selling the protection to their customers.

"This comprehensive service contract plan really simplifies the after-sale requirements for the dealer," McCusker said. "They no longer have to service the product after the sale. The product protection plan allows them to contract the repair out to a professional team and saves the merchant from having to have service contract professionals on-site. They also receive revenue just by offering their valued customers additional peace of mind for their purchase."

Changing Perceptions of the Role of Full-Time Dads

2010-09-16

The 21st century has seen advances in technology, science, medicine and more. One thing that traditionally hasn't changed, however, is the perception of the father's role in a child's life. Ask most people what a dad does, they may mention things like playing catch, being the family breadwinner, tackling household maintenance projects or mowing the lawn. When the phrase "primary caretaker" arises, few people equate that with a father. As the Bob Dylan song goes, though, "the times, they are a-changin'." Fathers all around the country are choosing to raise their children ...

Can Doctors Face Retaliation for Protecting Patients?

2010-09-16

Medical professionals often feel they have a reputation to protect, and the best strategy for achieving that goal is adherence to accepted medical standards and treating patients with the respect they deserve. But the recently settled case of a New York bariatric surgeon suggests that sometimes patients' best interests are not the foremost goal, when eliminating a colleague who dissents about medical practices seems more expedient. Dr. Neelu Pal lost her position at New York University's Medical Center in 2006 after she informed several patients scheduled for weight-loss ...

Your Legal Rights Following a Crane Accident

2010-09-16

On March 15, 2008, a 22-story crane collapsed on East 51st Street in Manhattan, killing seven people. A little over two months later, a second crane collapsed at an Upper East Side construction site, leaving two dead, including the 30-year-old crane operator. These two crane accidents have been at the center of multiple investigations, civil lawsuits and criminal charges against those believed to be responsible for the catastrophes. Rigging contractor William Rapetti was one of the individuals facing criminal charges for his role in the East 51st Street collapse. ...

Pennsylvania Court Considers Legal Justification for Drunk Driving

2010-09-16

A recent Pennsylvania appellate court decision involved a rarely implemented defense in a DUI/DAI case. In Commonwealth v. Clouser, the Pennsylvania Superior Court considered whether a driver was justified in fleeing danger in his vehicle even though he was intoxicated. While the trial court had denied the defendant's request to argue justification, the Superior Court held that he should have been allowed to present this defense. Appellant Michael Allan Clouser was out at a Franklin County tavern in June of 2009 with his girlfriend. Clouser admitted at trial that he ...

Pennsylvania Field Sobriety Testing

2010-09-16

In Pennsylvania, an officer often conducts field sobriety testing prior to asking a driver to submit to a roadside breath test and making an arrest, whether the driver is suspected of intoxication during a traffic stop, sobriety checkpoint or saturation patrol. In October 2008, Pennsylvania began the Checkpoint Strikeforce Initiative, which requires each of the 15 regional state police troops to conduct random sobriety tests of drivers on most weekends. The State Police Commissioner noted that the program contributed to a record number of DUI arrests that year. Standardized ...

The Confrontation Clause: New Meaning for The Twenty-First Century

2010-09-16

Any person accused of a crime in the United States has the right "to be confronted with the witnesses against him." It is one of the fundamental protections of the U.S. Constitution, written into the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment and guaranteed since the Bill of Rights took effect in 1791. However, our understanding of this right has evolved with time. Last year in the case of Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, the U.S. Supreme Court considered the protections of the Confrontation Clause with regard to the introduction of forensic evidence in a trial. Prior ...

The Pressure is On: Medical Professionals Standing Up For Patient Rights

2010-09-16

Medical Whistleblowers and the Sovereign Immunity Roadblock The heroic actions of two individuals recently brought the little town of Kermit, Texas, into the limelight. Two nurses at Winkler County Memorial Hospital found themselves in an astonishing situation after reporting suspected ethical violations of a doctor. Not only were they fired but also indicted on felony charges. Both nurses beat the indictments and later settled a civil lawsuit against the hospital, but the unexpected scenario has sparked public debate about laws protecting medical whistleblowers. Anne ...

Shorter Sentences for Viewing Child Porn

2010-09-16

Worried parents and law enforcement officials are driving an increase in child pornography cases across the U.S. Sentences for viewing child porn range from probation to 20 years in prison, but judges are leaning toward lower sentences. The Wall Street Journal analyzed four years of data and found a significant reduction in jail time. In 2006, about 20 percent of child porn possession and distribution cases brought sentences that fell below federal guidelines. By 2009, more than 40 percent of sentences brought such sentences, according to the Journal. In the same period, ...
