2013-06-04
North Hollywood dentist, Dr. Bijan Afar, offers dental implants as permanent restorations for missing teeth. Many patients are missing one or more teeth, which can substantially affect the health and appearance of their smiles. These lost teeth can even trigger a chain reaction. As bone tissue is lost in response to the lost tooth, the health of adjacent teeth can be affected. They may be more likely to suffer from gum disease, tooth decay or loss.
Dental implants are a revolutionary tooth replacement alternative. Many dentists and patients prefer them because they ...

Study offers proof that texting and teen driving is prevalent
2013-06-04
A recent study on distracted driving is potential new proof that texting while driving in the United States remains a serious problem--particularly for teens.
The study showed that teens are texting behind the wheel and actually admit to the behavior. While the results don't quite reveal whether teens realize their actions are dangerous and lead to car accidents, it did show proof that more is needed to combat the growing problem of texting behind the wheel.
The study
The study looked at information from the 2011 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's ...
Texting and driving still a problem after Georgia ban
2013-06-04
Cell phones have become an intricate part of our lives and if you go anywhere in Dekalb County, you are likely to see many people talking on their phones, texting, and even watching videos or answering emails.

The danger that texting presents
Despite educational and law enforcement efforts, some people do not believe texting is that dangerous of an activity. Studies have shown, however, ...
Proposal seeks lower alcohol limit for Ohio OVI/DUI
2013-06-04
Last month, the National Transportation Safety Board came out with a recommendation to lower the minimum blood alcohol content (BAC) level, at which a person is considered to be legally under the influence of alcohol, thereby changing the definition of a drunk driver. The agency argued that the current .08 BAC is too high and advocates for lowering it to .05 to reduce the number of accidents.
While the federal agency can make such a broad recommendation, each state will need to change its own laws and this generally takes many years. In Ohio, the current blood alcohol ...
New Florida red-light camera law changes how motorists contest tickets
2013-06-04
Approaching an intersection as the light turns yellow always requires a split second decision. Is there enough time to make it through the light or not? The length of the yellow may differ between intersections and cities, such as Daytona Beach and Tampa. In some cases, it is more dangerous to slam on the brakes and stop especially on fast moving roads.
If the light turns red before your vehicle clears the intersection, it could mean a red-light camera citation. An investigation by a Tampa CBS news affiliate WTSP found that cities and counties across the state have actually ...
Psychologist argues biological makeup big reason behind life of crime
2013-06-04
When it comes to the propensity to commit crimes, many people assume that it is an individual's life circumstances that cause him or her to commit a violent crime. So it makes sense for those convicted of crimes to be "rehabilitated" so they can be productive members of society after they complete their jail sentences or probationary terms, right?
An author of a new book entitled: The Anatomy of Violence, The Biological Roots of Crime, isn't so sure. The contents of his recent book have sparked a public discussion about the nature versus nurture debate and ...
Learning more about Texas prenuptial agreements
2013-06-04
The prenuptial agreement is one of the most debated legal documents in use today. The controversy comes not from the agreements themselves, but from how people perceive them. Some people see them as powerful tools that can be used to protect both spouses from future contention by taking key property division issues off the table. Others view them in a much less altruistic light, painting these types of contracts as being responsible for the death of a couple's romantic love before the marriage begins, and even as "dooming" a marriage to failure.
The reality

NTSB recommendation to lower BAC to .05 met with stringent pushback
2013-06-04
A startling recommendation by the National Transportation Safety Board, the federal government agency in charge of investigating transportation accidents, has gained widespread attention among U.S. drivers. Earlier this month, the board recommended that states use a .05 BAC threshold for DUI, down from the current .08 BAC measurement implemented by all 50 states.
Reasons behind the proposal
The obvious reason behind the push is drunk driving prevention. The agency indicates that thousands of lives are lost every year as a result of DUI. As alleged proof, they cite ...

Memorial Day has come and gone. The parades are over, the flowers are fading, and the veterans who participated have packed their uniforms away until next year. However, one group of veterans - vets who are homeless -- has little to celebrate.
