Heavy rainstorms have been taking the entire world by storm. There are storms in the Philippines that have left people completely homeless and without nothing at all. The leading U.S. tarp supplier Tarps Plus sent tarps to the stricken area but much more is needed. Those who are preparing for seasonal thunder and rain storms should look into canvas or poly tarps right away. The fact that poly tarps and some canvas tarps are waterproof is one of the greatest aspects that can be found. When those storms hit, there could be many leaks on the roof that have yet to be discovered. ...

Although the elderly account for only 12.7 percent of the nationwide population, they consume roughly a third of total prescription medications and about 40 percent of all over-the-counter medicine, according to a 2006 study in Clinical Geriatrics. Side effects from taking large amounts of powerful pills many nursing home residents consume can be severe, and sometimes even constitute significant cases of nursing home abuse because of overmedication and lack of real treatment leading to injuries such as bed sores. Families of those in nursing homes may discover the quantity ...

The Attorney General of Arizona, Terry Goddard, has issued an official notice to people across the state to be on the lookout for unscrupulous salespeople offering do-it-yourself living trust kits that are oftentimes both unnecessary and financially risky. At an average of $1,500 apiece, this is a very lucrative con for the scammers and a big loss for the victims. The high volume of such living trust-type products has led the Attorney General's office to deem them "mills," a name indicative of a cookie-cutter approach that is focused on just pumping out sales. They have ...

A whistleblower lawsuit filed in 2005 by former employees against Wyeth Pharmaceuticals of New Jersey (which was subsequently purchased by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer) has been joined by the U.S. Justice Department. The suit alleges violations under the False Claims Act and could result in a judgment against Pfizer in the hundreds of millions of dollars due to inappropriate billing of public health programs and other wrongdoing. The government's entry into the action suggests that significantly larger consequences may be at stake for the drug company. "It's going to ...

A San Antonio man profiled in a recent WOAI-TV segment has experienced a bizarre path to the foreclosure process. Roque De Leon claims that his original $35,000 mortgage, secured in 2002, multiplied tenfold when Chase purchased the mortgage from Washington Mutual in 2008 and somehow tacked a zero on the end of his account balance. "Chase started rejecting my $350/month payments, and demanded $2,000 per month," De Leon explained through a translating friend. Before the confusion had been cleared up, the bank initiated foreclosure proceedings and he was at risk of losing ...

In 2008, there were approximately 90,066 drunk driving arrests in Texas. Like many states, this only accounts for individuals with an illegal .08 or higher blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) level. However, some lawmakers and police officers indicate that this hard and fast rule doesn't always indicate the driver's correct intoxication level and that regulations should focus more on impairment rather than the uniform .08 blood concentration. A woman weighing 140 pounds may reach a blood-alcohol content of .07 with two drinks in one hour; a man weighing 200 pounds may ...

We have heard of the schoolyard bully, the neighborhood bully, of bullies stealing lunch money. But workplace bullies? Doesn't bullying only happen to children? Adults outgrow such behavior and deal with each other in a rational and reasonable fashion, don't we? Maybe not. A recent blog article dealing with healthcare raises the topic of workplace bullying. The author, a former bureau chief for the New York Times, points to a study that found "35 percent of the American workforce had been bullied at work, and another 15 percent had witnessed it." The health concern ...

New Jersey Transportation Commissioner James Simpson announced recently that construction of median barriers in 14 high-priority locations is finished and that crossover accidents have dramatically decreased because of the effort. "This department has worked steadily to install barriers along narrow highway medians because safety is our top priority and these barriers save lives," Commissioner Simpson said. "New Jersey highways are congested, and accidents do happen," Simpson said. "We will continue to invest in median barriers because they help prevent accidents from ...

The results of an investigation of a horrific trucking accident have spurred the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to recommend numerous truck safety rules. The accident, which occurred last year in Oklahoma, claimed the lives of 10 people and injured five others. The NTSB cited driver fatigue resulting from sleep loss as the root cause of the tragedy. The truck driver, who also suffers from mild sleep apnea, likely had only five hours of sleep before beginning his workday at three in the morning. At the time of the accident he had been on the road for 10 hours. Breakdown ...

Generally, after taking certain over-the-counter medications or receiving hospital treatment a patient is told not to drive or operate heavy machinery. Most patients abide by this, but for a commercial bus driver who failed to heed the warning, coupled with a lack of medical oversight by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the consequences proved to be deadly. On an early morning in May 1999 near New Orleans, a casino-bound tour bus veered off a highway, struck a guardrail, plowed through a chain-link fence, flew over a golf cart path and crashed into an embankment, ...

AAA recently conducted a study showing that 92 percent of the people it surveyed viewed texting while driving as "unacceptable." Surprisingly, however, 25 percent of those same people admitted to doing it. Phoenix is Arizona's only city that bans texting while driving. Does Phoenix have the right idea, or do bans on texting while driving fail to satisfy their purpose? Travel experts at AAA think that Phoenix is on the right track. Troubling Studies Federal data recently published in the American Journal of Public Health show that, between 2001 and 2007, 16,000 ...

Senior citizens are often targets for identity theft, as many do not have the means to dispose of their documents in a secure way. They may also lack access to information helping them to protect ...

A recent article on the Men's Health website told a cautionary tale of a man named Tom Zehmisch. He died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 46. Only four months earlier, he had participated in a national swim meet and he died while participating in a triathlon. To look at Tom, you would not have thought him to be at risk of obstructive sleep apnea. The stereotypical obstructive sleep apnea patient is more like Don Dillard who, in 2007 had reached a staggering 401 pounds on the scale. He had been hospitalized four times for serious health problems including congestive ...
