Anyone seeking a divorce has a myriad of decisions to make and issues to sort out. In addition to difficult issues of parental rights, child custody and visitation, there is also the issue of property division, which can be a huge sticking point in many divorces. Property division in Illinois In Illinois, when a couple divorces, the assets are split equitably, not necessarily equally. All property and assets acquired during the marriage are considered marital assets as opposed to non-marital assets -- generally those assets acquired by one spouse prior to the marriage. ...

More than 80 percent of adults believe that it is important to put their wishes about end-of-life care in writing, according to a recent report, but only one out of four does so. A survey of 1,700 adults released in 2012 by the California HealthCare Foundation illustrated the substantial gap between attitudes and actions when it comes to end-of-life planning. While most people place a high value on dying peacefully and without pain, few take the steps necessary to ensure that their wishes are fulfilled when the time comes; about 76 percent of adults surveyed said they ...

Four years after their introduction, doubts have surfaced about the reliability of the Intoxilyzer 8000, a machine that is used to test the blood alcohol level of those accused of operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI). These doubts have led to questions of whether such machines should be able to be challenged in court. Intoxilyzer controversy In 2008, the Ohio Department of Health used federal grants to purchase 700 Intoxilyzer 8000 machines at a total cost of $6.4 million. The reason that the machines were purchased was to make alcohol breath tests uniform ...

At the conclusion of the first year of a state ban on texting behind the wheel in Pennsylvania, the House of Representatives has declared April 2013 to be "Distracted Driving Awareness Month" in the commonwealth.

Wednesday night, a fertilizer plant exploded in the small town of West, Texas, just north of Waco. According to the Waco Tribune-Herald, up to 15 people are dead, several firefighters remain missing and more than 160 people are being treated for injuries at local hospitals.

At approximately 6:00pm local time, firefighters received a report of a fire at a fertilizer plant operated by the West Fertilizer Company.

According to a report issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 9,878 deaths attributed to alcohol-impaired-driving car accidents in 2011, which is the most recent year for which complete data is available.

The number of hours that medical interns work is legendary. As of 2003, a typical young doctor was on call for up to 36 hours at a time. As of 2011, that number was 30 hours. It's not surprising that many people have come to fear that exhausted interns may cause more medical or surgical errors. As a result, in 2011, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) passed nationwide standards limiting interns to 16-hour shifts. However, according to two recent studies published in JAMA Internal Medicine, shorter shifts may not lead to safer hospitals. ...

With healthcare costs the way they are, when you are having surgery, you would expect the surgeon to perform the operation in a nearly perfect manner. Although nobody is perfect, you certainly expect that the surgeon would not make an obvious error. However, the reality is that this is often the case. A recent article in USA Today points out that surgeons leave behind surgical items in their patients more than 12 times per day. In addition, an investigation conducted by USA Today found that although items such as clamps, forceps and other surgical items are sometimes ...

As spring arrives, countless Connecticut residents will be hitting the town's streets and sidewalks on foot to work off some of the "cabin fever" caused by a long, hard winter.

Many states across the nation have passed laws requiring the collection DNA from those arrested for violent crimes, even before conviction for the crime. In Virginia, an individual arrested for a violent felony or for the attempt to commit such a crime must provide a saliva or tissue sample for DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) analysis. The criminal charge itself is enough to trigger the requirement. DNA samples are then stored in a DNA data bank by the state Department of Forensic Science. In some cases, the state provides the DNA samples to CODIS, which is a database of ...

Mesothelioma is a terrible disease. It is a serious cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. Sadly, mesothelioma is difficult to treat and is almost always fatal. A lot of the challenge comes from the fact that mesothelioma is so hard to detect. The cancer forms in the lining of the lungs or other organs and develops slowly over time, sometimes becoming apparent only decades after the initial exposure to asbestos. Researchers have been working on new ways to diagnose mesothelioma with the hope that earlier detection could improve survival rates, or, at ...
