A hospital is supposed to be a place where people can count on getting the highest standard of care. A hospital should gather together high-quality medical specialists in a way that allows them to work together to serve the needs of patients in a controlled environment with all the benefits of modern medical technology. Unfortunately, hospitals have become something else. They have become, like most things in our modern society, machines whose primary--and possibly only--function is to manufacture profits for their owners. Hospitals seek to generate profit in many ways, ...

While only one piece of legislation has passed, proposed bills could have implications for business owners. ACTA: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement So far, the only recent cyber law to be passed is ACTA, which is really an agreement between nations rather than a law passed by Congress. ACTA allows court orders to be brought against companies that infringe on the intellectual property rights of other firms. Under ACTA, businesses may sue websites ...

Famous class actions -- like the case against Pacific Gas & Electric chronicled in the movie "Erin Brokovich," as well as the 125,000 plaintiffs who banded together to sue Wyeth Pharmaceuticals for damages caused by the popular diet drug Fen-Phen -- have shined light on this area of the law and proven to the public that single ...

A study recently published in the trade journal "Computers in Human Behavior" indicates that multi-tasking in any form causes a significant decrease in performance of both visual and audio tasks. The research, led by Zheng Wang, Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University School of Communication, shows that performing more than one visual or audio task at a time causes a marked decrease in each of these skills.

Even more troubling is the fact that so many of these accidents are caused by drunk drivers. Road Deaths Decline Overall In 2011, there were 368 road deaths ...

The Boy Scouts of America has a long record of helping boys develop leadership and life skills that allow them to grow into successful young men. However, for all the good it has done, the Boy Scouts also has some questionable marks on its record. Far too many Scouts have been sexually abused by adult leaders in the organization.
