ENGLEWOOD, CO, September 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) The 11th Annual Austin Jay Fund Memorial Golf Tournament took place on Sunday August 26th, 2012. It was held at Coyote Creek Golf Course in Fort Lupton, Colorado. The tournament raised over $10,000 which will be added to more than $200,000 that this fund has raised over the years. The money has been donated to the neurology department at Denver's Children's Hospital. The fund was inspired by Austin Jay, a boy born with Bilateral Schizencephaly, a condition characterized by abnormal development in the hemispheres of the brain. It's a rare disease and research funding is scarce. Austin's dad Jay started the tournament to fund research when Austin was 3. He died when he was 11 but his family vows to continue raising money to find a cure for this disease. Jay was pleased with this year's turnout and looks forward to the growing success of the tournament. "Someday we'll have hundreds of golfers and I know we'll save another kid's life with this. I know we will." The Austin Jay Fund has made it possible for neurology department at Children's Hospital to continue to research this disease as well as fostered forums for doctors worldwide to share research findings.
Jay says the tournament is attracting more and more individual golfers as well as corporate participants. Local businesses see charity tournaments as a way to help out in their community as well as sponsor a fun outing for their employees. 1st Class Medical is located in Englewood, Colorado and sells portable oxygen concentrators and home oxygen machines. They participate in many local charity events and were a corporate participant this year. They got involved through Julian Montoya who is a respiratory specialist, helping patients find an oxygen machine that best suits their needs at one of the company's web entities, www.portableoxygenconcentratorsltd.com. Julian has played in the tournament for the past nine years and decided to take a break from discussing oxygen concentrators and get a foursome together to hit the links for a good cause. Their team also consisted of representatives from www.g2portableoxygen.com and www.lifechoiceconcentrator.com. The oxygen concentrator team didn't win the tournament this year but said they enjoyed their time out on the course and were happy to help out a great cause.
In addition to the golf tournament the Austin Jay Fund holds a silent auction and is planning a bowling tournament this winter. To make a donation make checks payable to The Children's Hospital/Austin Jay Fund and mail to Austin Jay Fund, 17121 E. Walsh Way, #101, Aurora, CO 80017.

Diabetes and the Eyes
2012-09-01
If you have diabetes, you may have already been told that it can cause eye problems and potentially lead to blindness. Attending regular check-ups with an experienced ophthalmologist is important in order to control the impact your diabetes has on your eyesight. An ophthalmologist can help you keep minor problems minor, and detect any major problems in their early stages, when they are more easily treatable.

Rear-End Car Accident? Learn More About Liability in Oregon Car Crashes
2012-09-01
Liability is a very important concept following a car accident. The person who "carries the liability" (or his or her insurer) has to pay for the property damage and injuries that result from the crash.
To put it simply, the one who carries the liability made some mistake that caused the accident. Legally speaking, making such a mistake is called "negligence." To be found negligent, a party must have a duty (in this case, to drive safely), must have breached that duty (by speeding, being distracted, etc.), and the breach of this duty must have caused ...
If Divorce Is In Your Future, Think Twice Before Snooping On Your Spouse
2012-09-01
In the information age, there is an electronic record of almost every aspect of our lives. If you're contemplating divorce, or if you're already in the middle of one, the temptation to secretly check up on your spouse on the computer can be powerful.
Yet, if you're not careful, you might be running abreast of privacy or even computer hacking laws. This could jeopardize your footing in the divorce, and may even lead to fines or jail time.
When it comes to electronic snooping, particularly in new media like Facebook and Twitter, the laws on privacy are murky at best. ...
California Nursing Home Advocates Expose Reports of Fraud and Neglect
2012-09-01
As the average age of the American population increases, we have become more aware from media reports and family experiences of the potential for elder abuse. Whether an elderly person is subjected to abuse or neglect in a nursing home or victimized by financial fraud, the people and institutions that commit such actions are subject to legal action and compensatory or punitive damages.
Surprise inspections of California nursing homes by the state Department of Justice's "Operation Guardians" program have recorded a range of safety and health problems at institutions ...
Two Recent West Virginia Coal Mining Fatalities Caused by Equipment
2012-09-01
The daily perils faced by West Virginia coal miners range from equipment-related accidents to violations of highwall safety standards and other coal mining safety rules. Whatever type of risk leads to a coal mining accident, serious injuries and fatalities to miners are far too often the result.
Two recent coal mining fatalities in West Virginia suddenly doubled this year's list of mining deaths. The mining accidents happened only a few days apart under tragically similar circumstances.
The first occurred on July 27 at Coal River Mining's Fork Creek No. 10 mine in ...
Original Mortgage Notes Requested In Chapter 13 Cases
2012-09-01
It seems simple enough: a lender, holding a mortgage, should have legally valid proof they actually own the note. A Chapter 13 trustee in Tennessee has been causing problems for lenders with this apparently straightforward demand.
Mortgage Loan Bubble
Many of the problems in the current real estate market were caused by the real estate bubble of the early 2000s. During that bubble, many lenders were in such a hurry to get loans out the door and make their commission that they failed to keep track of details like where original loan documents were located. The loans ...
Oregon Court of Appeals Resolves Divorce Property Division Dispute
2012-09-01
Financial issues lead to contentious disputes in many divorces due to the long-term implications of property division decisions. These disputes become all the more complex when the couple must resolve issues created by marital debt, pensions or IRAs, and the tax implications of divorce.
Family law attorneys must take a range of financial data into account when helping a client understand his or her best interests. This is all the more true when the marital estate contains diverse assets and business interests or one spouse has received a significant inheritance.

2012-09-01
Respect for personal privacy is one of the key values underlying American culture. Politically, we don't want Uncle Sam to become Big Brother. We want to be free from other people spying on us for any reason.
What about married or co-habituating couples, however, and the access to personal information that often comes with emotional intimacy? How does someone maintain or regain a sense of privacy when a relationship partner is involved?
This article will explore that question by analyzing a recent Michigan divorce case in which both partners inappropriately accessed ...
