LARKSPUR, CA, August 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) Cheryl Indelicato, Registered Nurse and 3rd generation California vintner, will lead Team HandCraft in the 3-Day 60 mile Walk for the Cure in San Francisco and Atlanta as part of an expanded initiative by HandCraft Artisan Collection wines to support the fight against breast cancer. HandCraft Artisan Collection includes four wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah. Cheryl created the wines to honor women and has selected breast cancer research as the beneficiary. A portion of proceeds from the sale of the wines, up to $100K in 2012, will be given to national and local organizations that support breast cancer awareness, research and prevention.
"As a nurse, I have seen first-hand the tremendous impact this disease has on women and their families," remarked Indelicato. "Participation in the 3-Day walk is a way to get involved personally and make a meaningful contribution. I am looking forward to the challenge of walking 60 miles over three days and sharing this experience with other committed walkers. I know it will be a life changing journey." The SF Bay Area walk kicks off in Marin County on September 7, 2012 and ends in San Francisco on September 9 after crossing two bridges and covering 60 miles.
Team HandCraft has fielded a parallel team, led by winemaker Alicia Ysais, to participate in the Komen SF Bay Area Race for the Cure that takes place September 9 while the 3-Day is still underway. Cheryl Indelicato and Team HandCraft will also walk in the Altanta 3-Day October 19-21.

Rise In Traumatic Brain Injuries Among Veterans and Athletes Prompts New Research
2012-08-19
Since 2000, approximately 245,000 men and women who have served in the military have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury, otherwise known as TBI.
The majority of those cases were mild; but, even mild traumatic brain injuries can be highly disruptive to daily life. Unlike severe brain injuries, mild TBI can be harder to detect. Sometimes a mild TBI is not recognized for weeks or even months after an accident. Recent publicity has focused attention on studies demonstrating that TBI is often not recognized in athletes until long after the injury occurs. For example, ...
Congress May Block New Electronic Recorder Mandate for Trucks
2012-08-19
The federal government is constantly working to increase the safety of all people on the road by implementing safety rules for trucks and other commercial vehicles.
One way that this has been accomplished is by limiting the number of hours that a truck driver can be behind the wheel -- called hours of service rules -- to help cut down on driver fatigue. To record their hours, many drivers use a paper log, but some use electronic onboard recorders. In a short amount of time, however, all drivers will be required to have EOBR in their vehicles. A bill signed on July 6, ...
Women More Likely Than Men to Be Financially Harmed by Disability
2012-08-19
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 20 percent of American women have some form of disability. By age 65, the disability rate among women rises to nearly 50 percent.
A new study from the State Farm Center for Women and Financial Services at The American College shows that women are actually much more likely than men to develop a disability that prevents them from being able to work. In fact, in the 10-year period between 1999 and 2009, women's Social Security Disability applications grew by 72 percent, while men saw a comparatively ...
Florida Lifeguard Fired for Helping to Save Drowning Beachgoer
2012-08-19
A lifeguard at a Florida beach was recently fired by his employer for helping save a drowning man. The lifeguard said that he was told a man was struggling in the water, so he left his post to help him. By the time he got to the section of beach where the man was, he had been pulled out of the water by other beachgoers. The lifeguard stayed with the man to help him until paramedics arrived.
After the man was rushed to the hospital, the lifeguard returned to his post and was immediately fired by his employer. The lifeguard's employer has a policy that forbids lifeguards ...
Informed Consent is More Than Just Agreeing to a Medical Procedure
2012-08-19
Every person has a right to the personal integrity of his or her body. No one should ever be forced, coerced or misled into having his or her bodily integrity violated, but especially when it involves health care procedures and the medical professionals we trust. Pennsylvania law recognizes this and requires that "informed consent" be given prior to medical procedures being performed.
People often only think of informed consent as the act of signing a piece of paper before undergoing a medical procedure; essentially, just officially agreeing to it. But informed ...
Deportation Takes a Tragic Toll on the Children of Immigrant Families
2012-08-19
Stability, continuity, a sense of belonging -- these features of daily life that most of us take for granted are essential to a child's emotional wellbeing. It's hard to imagine a child being ripped away from a beloved parent or another close family member at a young age. Yet, that's exactly what has been happening for a long time under U.S. immigration policy, and new research shows it is the children who are paying for it.

New Law Allows Officers to More Easily Eavesdrop on People
2012-08-19
In the climactic scenes of crime thrillers, the "good guys," often portrayed by the police or someone within a criminal syndicate, wear a wire (a recording device) to catch the "bad guy" admitting to his crimes. In the movies, the bad guy often slips up and is recorded stating what the plan or crime is/was, and then the recording is used by prosecutors to convict the bad guy of various criminal charges.
Until recently, a scene like this would not play out in Illinois, unless the police went before a judge, presented evidence and received authorization. ...
Wisconsin Supreme Court Issues New Ruling in Miranda Rights Case
2012-08-19
You've probably seen it on TV: the police arrest someone, and read them their "Miranda rights." But do you know as much as you should about what these rights really mean?
Although they are sometimes referred to as "Miranda rights," the rights contained in a Miranda warning actually come from the U.S. Constitution and its state-level equivalent. The Miranda warning is a reminder that police must give to suspects before conducting any custodial questioning -- if police fail to give a Miranda warning, any incriminating statements that a suspect makes ...
Mental Health Needs of Aging Population Need Attention
2012-08-19
By 2030 Maryland and the rest of the nation can expect the population of seniors to be nearly double what it is today. Along with the increased number of elderly come increased health concerns, including the often-overlooked issue of mental health problems.
Health care workers are already bracing for the wave of physical ailments that will need more attention as the population ages, but readiness to deal with additional mental health issues is lacking. A recent eye-opening study from the Institute of Medicine reports that there are not enough medical personnel trained ...
