This week, Inside Out investigated the growing elderly population and the shortage of people who are dedicated to looking after them. Visiting a number of places, ExtraCare's Lark Hill Village in Nottingham featured, focusing on care and caring in later life. The programme started with the stark realisation that hundreds of convicted criminals were working as home carers. 23 carers at a certain care agency had been convicted of crimes of theft and assault due to the fact that such agencies had not carried out Criminal Records Bureau checks.

In today's world, most Americans are doing everything they can to stave off energy costs and achieve eco-friendly solutions.

There are many factors that have the potential to affect human fertility, both among men as well as among women.

For years, the health benefits of coffee--and caffeinated drinks in general--have remained a subject of debate amongst professionals in the medical community.

New Traffic Regulations in New York Permanently Ban Some Post-DWI License Reinstatements Although drunk driving convictions already result in severe penalties for New York drivers, Governor Cuomo raised the stakes a few weeks ago by imposing new regulations.

Based on other criminal traffic violations in New York, some drivers will also face longer reinstatement periods. Governor Cuomo positioned these changes as a safety ...

Revocable Trusts: Holding on to a Cherished Family Home Estate planning involves a wide variety of choices, depending on a client's assets and intentions as well as what is achievable under probate and estate laws.

An individual or couple's primary residence is often the most substantial asset they own, and its emotional value can be just as significant. ...

Finding smart solutions to the America's student debt problem occurs on two levels: exploring individual solutions to stop creditor harassment and get a handle on repayment options, and forging societal changes to bankruptcy provisions and other laws to restore American's cumulative debt load to a sustainable level. A recent report released jointly by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the U.S. Department of Education suggests that Congress should revisit U.S. law to better allow Americans to restructure student loan debt via the bankruptcy process.

It all began with a horrible accident in 2004. Two sisters rented a Chrysler PT Cruiser from Enterprise Rental Car Company and were driving it on the highway when it suddenly caught fire leading to a crash with an oncoming commercial truck. Unfortunately, both sisters were killed in the auto accident. One of the more frustrating aspects of this accident is the fact that it was avoidable. The vehicle that was rented to the sisters was under a safety recall for a potential fire hazard. Had Enterprise rented the sisters another vehicle, the accident may never have happened. ...

It is no secret that motor vehicle accidents are a huge problem in New York City. All you have to do is open the morning paper or turn on the evening news to be confronted with a seemingly endless stream of stories about pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists who were seriously injured after being hit by a car. Unfortunately, the New York Police Department rarely launches full investigations into these crashes. Limited funding means that there are only 19 officers on the NYPD's citywide Accident Investigation Squad. These investigators are called in only when an accident ...

We have all done it. Glancing at a radio dial, changing songs on an iPod, zooming in on a GPS, and doing anything with our smart phone...it was only a momentary glance, we tell ourselves, and nothing bad happened. The problem, however, is that you happen to do this while you are driving. At 70 mph. Let's do the math, in glancing at anything, for three seconds at 70 mph, means you have traveled 308 feet, or the distance of one football field. If you are texting, it's even worse. A study by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that "the risk of crash or ...

A recent change in Georgia law allows those carrying car insurance to better protect themselves from uninsured and underinsured drivers. Unfortunately, in this difficult economy the Insurance Information Institute estimates that almost 14 percent of drivers on our nation's roads are not insured. As a result, expanding insurance coverage to include accidents with uninsured or underinsured drivers may be more important than ever before. Although a basic auto insurance policy generally covers the cost of repairs and any injuries passengers may receive it may not be enough ...

A North Carolina driver facing a DWI charge, four months in prison, a one-year-license suspension and the costs and hassles associated with an ignition interlock device had the drunk driving charges dismissed at a pre-trial hearing. Wilmington DWI defense attorney Ryan Stump persuaded the judge that the State's inability to move forward with the case was reason to drop the DWI charge. In North Carolina v. S.T., our client had allegedly backed into a fence. His actions were observed by police who then stopped him on suspicion of impaired driving. He was subsequently arrested ...
