Watch Out for Loan Modification Scams
The combination of the recession, high unemployment rates and the crash of the housing market has left many homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments. However, as the saying goes, in difficult circumstances comes opportunity. Unfortunately, for many homeowners, those taking advantage of the opportunities presented by these difficult times are loan modification scammers.

Considering a Loan Modification? Consider Bankruptcy Instead.
The crash of the housing bubble has left many homeowners in homes that are now not worth what was paid for them. The current economic crisis and rise in unemployment are leaving many homeowners with mortgages they cannot afford for houses that they cannot sell.
As a result, there has been a rise in loan modification programs. Loan modifications sound appealing because of the promise to work with the lender to lower payments, allowing the distressed homeowner to keep their home and avoid foreclosure.

Protecting Loved Ones from Elder Abuse
According to the California Attorney General's office, more than 200,000 Californians over the age of 65 are subjected to elder abuse each year -- and the problem is not expected to get better any time soon.
With a population of 3.7 million elderly, California already has the largest number of elderly residents in the nation. This number is expected to double in the next 20 years. As the baby boomer population enters their golden years, the number of people who need assistance from family members and long term care facilities ...
Fair Sentencing Act Reduces Disparity for Cocaine Sentences

Fair Sentencing Act Reduces Disparity for Cocaine Sentences
In August, President Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act into law. While the act does not eliminate federal sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine offenses, the mere fact that it occurred is a surprising criminal justice reform. Ten years ago, those working to repeal the 100-to-1 sentencing disparity were dismissed as "soft on crime."
The 1986 law was enacted at a time when many expected the crack cocaine epidemic affecting minority communities would cause a broader crime wave, which never ...

Report Offers Denver A Glimmer of Hope, But Economic Struggles Persist
According to the latest Mountain Monitor report from Brookings Mountain West, the Denver area's gross metropolitan product (meaning the value of all of its produced goods and services) has almost returned to pre-recession levels. In the second quarter of this year, the gross metropolitan product was just .1 percent lower than its highest levels before the recession began.
Perhaps surprisingly, though, this overall return to productivity is not reflected in employment rates. As the report indicates, ...

Another Alleged Police Brutality Incident Shakes Florida Law Enforcement
A recent suspected case of police brutality, this time resulting in the serious injury of 38-year-old Bamako Walton of Roodhouse, is putting the spotlight back on the actions of Florida's law enforcement officers. While the facts are still not completely clear, it is known that Walton was the passenger in a vehicle pulled over by an officer with the Jacksonville Police Department in the early hours of August 8, 2010. What remains to be seen, however, is how he ended up with multiple facial contusions, ...

Presumed Occupational Diseases for Firefighters and Police Officers
Maryland Annotated Code, Labor and Employment (LE) Article, 9-503 states that firefighters and police officers are given a presumption of compensability for certain occupational diseases if they contract heart disease or hypertension that results in "partial or total disability or death." Additionally, if a firefighter develops lung disease or certain specific cancers that results in partial or total disability, that firefighter is given a presumption of compensability that the disease was "suffered ...

Florida Sinkhole Claims Extending Beyond Sinkhole Alley?
Pasco and Hernandez counties are well established as the centers of sinkhole activity in Florida; Florida lawmakers have gone so far as to craft unique laws governing insurance coverage for sinkholes in these two counties. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that the problem may be spreading, with sinkholes reportedly appearing as far south as Miami and Naples.
Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty has requested claims data from both commercial and residential property insurance companies, with the ...

New Emphasis on Curbing Medicaid Fraud
In 2009, President Obama revealed that Medicare and Medicaid are the biggest drivers of the federal deficit and debt. Both programs are crucial to the health care industry in the United States; however, crippling waste, abuse and fraud cost the system $60 billion annually. As such, the Obama administration seeks to crack down on Medicaid and Medicare fraud.
Reports of flagrant Medicaid and Medicare fraud prompt public outcries. Consider the case of Elizabeth Corbitt, who in August was arrested on 419 counts of Medicaid fraud ...
