Chicago ophthalmologist Dr. Nicholas Caro is the subject of news stories again, this time because of trouble with the U.S. Department of Labor and a federal grand jury for allegedly raiding his employee's pension fund to the tune of around $260,000. Unprofessional conduct Many Chicago-area eye patients are all too familiar with Dr.Caro's questionable and harmful past medical practices. In 2010, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, the state agency responsible for professional licensing, including the prosecution of doctors who engage in ...

A Pennsylvania military divorce creates several unique rights and issues in comparison to a traditional civilian divorce -- especially in relation to procedure, property division and marital or child support payments. Specific state and federal laws apply to the process. Before you continue reading, however, bear in mind that in a simple, uncontested no-fault divorce wherein the husband and wife are in full agreement, either party may be in the military, and such a divorce is no more difficult than if neither party were in service. Commencing a military divorce To ...

You may assume that only a particular type of person can be accused of a particular type of crime. However, in reality, many different people -- doctors, lawyers, politicians -- confront egregious criminal allegations. While some individuals may be highly regarded in society, this does not preclude them from butting heads with the law. For example, recent news articles speak of Los Angeles Roman Catholic Archdiocese officials, who purportedly protected priests who sexually molested children. Sources explain that the archdiocese kept parishioners shielded from the issue ...

The ringing in of a new year usually brings with it a renewed sense of hope and a feeling of endless possibilities. Opening the calendar to "January" is seen as a way of wiping the slate clean on past mistakes. This may be true for some, but the year isn't starting out that way for everyone in Massachusetts, particularly those now subject to what some are calling a draconian "three strikes" law. "Melissa's Law" The Massachusetts habitual offender law began as a well-intentioned idea by the family of a teacher killed in 1999. The person ...

The greater Rochester, N.Y., community remembers all too well and with pain the horrible, fiery motor vehicle accident in 2007 that killed 5 cheerleaders, just 17 and 18, who had just graduated from high school in suburban Fairport. The girls, all close friends, had just won a national cheerleading title and were on their way to a weekend getaway, when their SUV swerved into the wrong lane on a two-lane highway into the path of a semi truck. While the investigation into the SUV-truck crash found several possible contributing factors, it had to be particularly painful ...

Older Americans are divorcing more often than in the past, raising particular issues for the divorcing spouses in particular, and for U.S. society in general, particularly in states such as Florida with high numbers of older residents. Two major areas of potential vulnerability exist for seniors who divorce in their later years: physical well being and financial security. The Bowling Green study A 2012 study of "gray divorce" has attracted significant national attention. Sociologists Susan L. Brown and I-Fen Lin looked in depth at existing research and at ...

A case pending before the California Supreme Court could have a major impact on plaintiffs' abilities to recover damages in employment discrimination cases. The case, Harris v. City of Santa Monica, asks the court to decide whether employers may assert the "mixed-motive" affirmative defense to avoid liability in employment discrimination claims brought under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. Harris, the plaintiff in the case, was hired by the City of Santa Monica ("the City") as a bus driver trainee. As a trainee Harris had one "preventable ...

When a couple spends a lot of time together, it is no surprise that the occasional argument will take place. A problem occurs, however, when these arguments escalate and lead to domestic violence. During the holiday season, authorities were on the look-out for domestic violence crimes. Several authorities, including members of the State Police, have stated that they typically see issues with domestic violence around the holiday season. They acknowledge, however, that evidence of a greater amount of domestic violence during the holidays is based more on practical experience ...

Since their introduction, hybrid cars have been touted for their "green" technology and fuel efficiency. And while their fuel economy can hardly be disputed, their silent operation at low speeds has created some safety concerns for the pedestrians who cannot hear the cars bearing down on them. Accordingly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently recommended requiring hybrid and electric cars to meet minimum sound standards so that pedestrians are aware of the their presence - hopefully reducing pedestrian accidents here in Virginia, ...

A recent government report indicates that the number of tax refunds being stolen is increasing at an alarming rate.

According to a report issued by the United States Government Accountability Office, or GAO, there has been a striking 62 percent increase in the amount of tax fraud being used to steal refunds in 2012 from the previous year. Tax fraud and identity theft This combination of tax fraud and identity theft ...

The National Transportation Safety Board seeks to ensure all motorists on the nation's roadways are as safe as possible. Drunk driving accidents are a major concern for the NTSB, accounting for up to one-third of all fatal accidents in the nation, according to its data. The federal organization has recently released a recommendation for states to require the use of interlock devices for DUI offenders. Michigan already requires the use for drivers who are arrested with blood-alcohol contents above twice the legal limit. The recommendation is non-binding and is only a ...

If something interests you then it is interesting or you have an interest in it - no problem here. However, if it doesn't interest you - how do you describe your state of mind? The fact that there appear to be two antonyms for 'interested' - 'uninterested' and 'disinterested' - leads to confusion for many people and misuse of one or other of these words is common. Actually, the antonym to interested is 'uninterested'. I am very interested in golf but my husband is completely uninterested; he prefers to play tennis. Disinterested is not the opposite of interested; ...

For anyone who says that heavy metal is dead, all you have to do is load up Spotify, the world's biggest music streaming service, and you'll see that couldn't be further from the truth. With over 20 million users around the world, Spotify has, until now, been filled with just the sort of apps you'd expect - pre-made playlists featuring the same overplayed pop hits. But, with the launch of the Earache Metalizer app from British extreme metal record label Earache Records, the silent majority have stood up and spoken, and it seems they're not such a minority after all - ...

Regular measurements of wind speed and direction at the ocean surface alert forecasters to threatening tropical storm conditions, while informing scientists of interactions between the atmosphere and sea currents that influence environmental conditions across the globe. The observations are most effectively gathered from Earth orbit. The U.S. lost that capability suddenly in late 2009, when the SeaWinds scatterometer aboard NASA's then 10-year-old QuikScat satellite experienced an age-related antenna failure. While NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

AUSTIN, Texas — For centuries, the fate of the original Otomí inhabitants of Xaltocan, the capital of a pre-Aztec Mexican city-state, has remained unknown. Researchers have long wondered whether they assimilated with the Aztecs or abandoned the town altogether. According to new anthropological research from The University of Texas at Austin, Wichita State University and Washington State University, the answers may lie in DNA. Following this line of evidence, the researchers theorize that some original Otomies, possibly elite rulers, may have fled the town. Their exodus ...
