Breast Augmentation and Pregnancy
2013-03-16
If you are considering breast augmentation, your future pregnancy plans should be factored into your decision. Although breast augmentation will not interfere with your ability to become pregnant, it will affect the results of any breast augmentation you obtain now. For this reason, some women choose to delay breast augmentation until after they are finished having children.
During a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon, ask to them discuss the potential impact of pregnancy on your breast augmentation. It's important to make an informed decision about whether ...

Military performs random alcohol tests on service members
2013-03-16
A report recently released by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) stated that drug and alcohol abuse among service members was a "public health crisis" that could negatively impact service members' "force readiness and psychological fitness." This report may have contributed to the new random breathalyzer program being used by the Marines.
The program, which began in January of 2013, requires all Marines to receive random breath alcohol tests at least twice a year. Anyone with a blood alcohol level over 0.01 percent can be referred by a commander to substance ...

2013-03-16
The sad death of a six-year-old on his way to school who was run over by a semi truck in East Harlem on February 28, 2013, has raised emotions and highlighted the awareness of New Yorkers to the dangers associated with living in a huge city. Little Amar Diarassoubba was reportedly in the crosswalk with his nine-year-old brother a half block from his school when the first grader was run over by the back wheels of the truck.

Employers in Colorado may select physician in workers' compensation claims
2013-03-16
Many occupations place workers in dangerous situations that increase the risk of an on-the-job injury. These workers know that they need to perform their daily activities carefully, as any mistakes can result in an accident that may cause harm to themselves or to their coworkers.
While some occupations immediately come to mind when someone thinks of a dangerous job, nearly any worker could suffer an injury when he or she least expects. Some workers may fall off a roof while building a house, while others may get a repetitive stress injury while sitting behind a desk.

Understanding the Legality of Pregnancy Discrimination in New York
2013-03-16
In this day and age, many believe that pregnancy discrimination is not an issue in the workplace--but try telling that to the thousands of workers who file pregnancy discrimination complaints every year. One of the latest examples of potential discrimination against a pregnant employee in the workplace is the allegation made against Oprah Winfrey's cable network, OWN.
According to AOL Jobs, a former senior director at OWN alleges that the network froze her out of her job and did not promote her because of her pregnancy. After receiving an impressive review for her first ...
AZ traffic fatalities up; legislature considering distracted driving bans
2013-03-16
According to reports in Arizona and across the country, the number of traffic fatalities -- including the number of teenagers killed in motor vehicle accidents -- rose in 2012. Many in Arizona place at least some of the blame on the lack of distracted driving regulations in the state. While many states nationwide have enacted laws banning dangerous distractions on the road, Arizona has not followed suit.
According to the National Safety Council, the number of people killed in auto accidents across the country increased by approximately 5 percent in 2012 -- the first ...
Diet soda may increase the risk of a DWI charge
2013-03-16
Those who drink diet soda with alcohol may be at an increased risk of receiving a DWI. A study, recently released in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, found those who mixed their alcoholic beverages with diet soda instead of regular soda experienced increased intoxication levels.
The increase was significant. Breath alcohol tests found those who used regular soda had readings around 0.077 while those who used diet soda read 0.09. In Texas, this variation could mean the difference between a warning and a conviction for driving while intoxicated ...
Mandatory liability insurance for gun owners will ease burden on victims
2013-03-16
The usual gun control measures are bans on assault weapons, prohibitions on sales at gun shows, limitations on the size and number of ammunition magazines and more-stringent background checks with longer waiting periods. But what about requiring gun owners to carry liability insurance as a method of gun control? Since the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, the idea of mandatory liability insurance for gun owners as a means to regulate gun ownership has been gaining traction.
Mandatory liability insurance as a method of gun control
