WASHINGTON, DC, November 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) A recent poll by CID Gallup Latin America showcases Nicaragua as the Central American country with the lowest levels of criminality in the region, including Panama and the Dominican Republic.
The poll's results, based on approximately 1,200 interviews per country during September and October 2012, show Nicaragua's proportion of citizens that report having been robbed or assaulted in the last four months was 19 percent, followed by Costa Rica with 21, Panama with 22, the Dominican Republic with 25, El Salvador with 28, Guatemala 29 and Honduras with 32.
A previous poll held in 2010 had also shown Nicaragua to have the lowest incidence of crime in Central America, highlighting the country was still free from the climate of insecurity in neighboring countries.
This poll comes to confirm the high levels of safety in Nicaragua that have been recognized by institutions such as the Economist Intelligence Unit in its 2012 Security Risk Report, ranking the country among the safest in Latin America. Additionally, Nicaragua holds the lowest homicides rates in Central America in 2011, 12 for every 100,000 inhabitants, well below the Latin American average of 26, according to the United Nations.
The country not only offers tranquility and peace of mind to visitors, but also an excellent quality of life. This is why Nicaragua has been featured as one of the most attractive retirement havens in the world, according to renowned international publications such as TravelAge West, U.S. News and AARP Magazine.

Deaths, Injuries, and Hurricane Sandy
2012-11-21
As the death toll from Hurricane Sandy has climbed through the 100 mark, and property damage estimates top $50 billion, it's clear that it's going to be a very busy time for insurance companies and lawyers.
New York personal injury lawyer Nussin Fogel expects there to be a lot of litigation in the wake of the storm as insurance companies attempt to avoid responsibility for deaths, injuries, or property damage. "For example," said Fogel, "power failures at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans that caused 34 deaths after Hurricane Katrina led to lawsuits. ...
Adult Adoptee Reform: Setting the Captives Free - It is Time to Change Current Archaic and Cruel Laws That Block Access to Original Birth Certificates and Other Vital Information to Adult Adoptees
2012-11-21
In the 1930s, social workers set out to change legislation that, under the guise of protecting the privacy of birth mothers would later enlsave millions of Adult Adoptees. Did they know that would happen? Probably not. But now you do.

Perhaps it was, but those birth mothers and adoptees are adults and it is time to change those laws that are doing nothing but creating a sickness in our society that ...

'Obese but happy gene' challenges the common perception of link between depression and obesity
2012-11-20
Hamilton, ON (November 20, 2012) – Researchers at McMaster University have discovered new genetic evidence about why some people are happier than others.
McMaster scientists have uncovered evidence that the gene FTO – the major genetic contributor to obesity – is associated with an eight per cent reduction in the risk of depression. In other words, it's not just an obesity gene but a "happy gene" as well.
The research appears in a study published today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. The paper was produced by senior author David Meyre, associate professor in clinical ...
