Families who lose children are left devastated by their loss.

A Chicago couple who'd faced difficulty conceiving was finally welcoming a tiny baby boy into its family. Although the baby was born 15 weeks premature, he had responded well to intensive care treatment at the local hospital. Sadly, their hope turned to sorrow when their child died six weeks after birth, the victim ...

2012-05-21

Nearly halfway through 2012 and here we have a thriving oil boom in many areas of the U.S. The oil boom is our answer, our counterpoint, in an economy that continues to struggle in the aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse. And it's not just oil. It's natural gas, too. We have technological developments in drilling to thank for unlocking reserves of oil and natural gas under shale rock formations. The technology is called hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," for short, and is responsible for both the good and bad of today's oil boom. Our Abundant Shale ...

Laws Banning Texting and Driving May Be Ineffective

2012-05-21

Despite the ban on use of handheld cellphones and other portable electronic devices while driving in New York, these laws may not actually contribute to improved motorist safety. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has found that these laws have not made a difference. In reality, bans on texting and driving may be causing more problems than they resolve. Because texting while driving is illegal, drivers often try to hide their phones in order to avoid detection -- resulting in their eyes being away from the road for even longer periods of time. ...
