Philanthropy and Volunteer

(SkyNewswire.com) --- Next summer, a family will be moving into a new home at 2850 N. 21st St., in Milwaukee - thanks to Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity and a donation from LiteSteel Technologies.

The donation came in the form of a 30-foot long LiteSteel beam (LSB ), which was installed by a team of volunteers Aug. 19. LSB is a patented, cold-formed, light weight steel structural beam that combines the strength of steel but with the installation workability normally associated with wood products.

on 2010/9/1 22:00:00 (47 reads)
Science, Technology and Innovation

(SkyNewswire.com) --- Researchers in North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine have developed a method for predicting the ways nanoparticles will interact with biological systems - including the human body. Their work could have implications for improved human and environmental safety in the handling of nanomaterials, as well as applications for drug delivery.

NC State researchers Dr. Jim Riviere, Burroughs Wellcome Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology and director of the university's Center for Chemical Toxicology Research and Pharmacokinetics, Dr. Nancy Monteiro-Riviere, professor of investigative dermatology and toxicology, and Dr. Xin-Rui Xia, research assistant professor of pharmacology, wanted to create a method for the biological characterization of nanoparticles - a screening tool that would allow other scientists to see how various nanoparticles might react when inside the body.

Legal : South Carolina Sentencing Reforms: A New Reality-Based Public Policy
on 2010/9/1 21:00:00 (34 reads)
Legal

(SkyNewswire.com) --- Earlier this summer, South Carolina became the latest state to adopt sentencing reforms aimed at reducing penitentiary expenses. South Carolina's prison population rose abruptly from just over 9,000 inmates in 1983 to more than 24,000 by the end of 2009, with steep future increases projected. Over the same interval, the state prison budget rose from $63.7 million to almost $400 million. Despite this massive public investment, rates of violent crime and recidivism in the state have remained high.

According to The Pew Center on the States, spending on corrections throughout the U.S. increased more than fourfold over the past two decades. One percent of American adults are behind bars, and corrections budgets are the fastest growing expense item for state governments after Medicaid. The Pew Center, which advises many states about public safety performance, praised South Carolina's dedication to the issue. Richard Jerome, project manager of the organization's Public Safety Performance Project, said that "South Carolina policy makers put aside ideology, looked at the data and forged a comprehensive package of reforms that will get taxpayers a better return on their public safety dollars."

Legal : The Widespread Effects of Leandra's Law
on 2010/9/1 20:00:00 (37 reads)
Legal

(SkyNewswire.com) --- Despite a flood of protest from local governments, a provision of Leandra's Law requiring ignition interlock devices for all New York drivers convicted of DWI is set to soon go into effect. These devices connect the ignition of an offender's vehicle to a breath alcohol analyzer, and prevent the vehicle from starting if the driver does not pass a breath test. As of August 15, every New York county is required to adopt a comprehensive ignition interlock program.

Some local governments, while optimistic about the law's intended effects, are worried about the financial burden created by the mandated installation and monitoring of the devices. In Dutchess County, for example, between 750 and 900 drivers are convicted of DWI each year; formerly, the Probation Department had monitored only about 20 offenders a year who were ordered to install ignition interlock devices following a felony DWI conviction. The new ignition interlock requirement is just one of the many impacts Leandra's Law has had on the state, suspects, and convicted defendants.

Legal : European Court Decision Advances Fathers' Rights
on 2010/9/1 19:00:00 (39 reads)
Legal

(SkyNewswire.com) --- A recent decision by the German Constitutional Court provides that men who father children out of wedlock need not obtain the mother's consent to seek legal custody. The court heeded a 2009 European Court of Human Rights ruling that German family law was inconsistent with a European directive to respect and sustain family life, and it also ran afoul of anti-discrimination laws. The interests of a German child in having a relationship with an unmarried father can no longer be subsumed by the mother's parental rights.

Some German conservatives decried the judgment, arguing that it undermined the institution of marriage and reduced its value to mere tax advantages. But reaction was generally positive, praising the long overdue recognition that all children equally deserve the benefit of having a legal relationship with both parents. The Frankfurt newspaper Allgemeine Zeitungput put it simply: "Children need both a mother and a father." Others recognized the practical realities in a country where nearly one of three children is born outside of marriage.

Legal : Estate Planning Basics for Aging and Infirm Parents in Florida
on 2010/9/1 18:00:00 (42 reads)
Legal

(SkyNewswire.com) --- One of the quickest ways to learn about the importance of having a solid and comprehensive estate plan is having to facilitate the process for elderly parents who encounter unexpected hardships. For adults with parents in their seventies or eighties, emerging health care issues may be the catalyst for decisions about factors not considered by a generation that may have associated estate planning more with financial issues resolved by a standard will. By seeking practical advice about strategies available to help a family cope with issues caused by advancing illness or the desire to keep a long-cherished family home, the younger generation can help elders avoid additional worries.

Several legal processes are available to confirm that trusted loved ones or counselors can make important decisions for people who are no longer in a position to do so for themselves. A durable financial power of attorney can be granted to a son or daughter to help an elderly parent manage a checkbook and make other money-related decisions. Such powers can also be made on a temporary basis to weather an illness or major surgery.

Legal : Injured Workers Have Rights
on 2010/9/1 17:00:00 (29 reads)
Legal

(SkyNewswire.com) --- According to a report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 3.7 million workers suffered reported nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in 2008. Like many other states, New Jersey has a comprehensive workers' compensation system in place to provide, according to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, a "no fault insurance program that provides...benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses". The Worker's Compensation benefits include:
- Payment of medical expenses for treatment. However, the treatment and medical provider has to be authorized by the Worker's Compensation insurance carrier.
- Up to 70% of wages if the authorized treating physician has determined that an employee is unable to work temporarily due to a work connected injury.
- An award for partial permanent functional disability that is calculated pursuant to the extent of disability and in accordance with a disability schedule.

Benefits in Workers' Compensation do not include pain and suffering. This is as a result of a compromise in the State Legislature when it was agreed that all injuries on the job, whether or not the injuries were caused by the employee's own negligence, would be covered under Workers' Compensation. As a result, an employee whose negligent actions caused his own injuries is still entitled to Worker's Compensation benefits.

Legal : School Bus Seat Belts Again in Debate
on 2010/9/1 15:00:00 (30 reads)
Legal

(SkyNewswire.com) --- Recently, two school buses were involved in a serious accident in Missouri. One student was killed, as was the driver of another vehicle involved in the accident, and over fifty students were injured in the crash. The incident renewed the debate over whether school buses should have seat belts installed and whether those belts would make buses any safer.

The crash occurred when a pick-up truck rear-ended a semi that had stopped for construction traffic. One of the school buses collided with the pick-up and was then struck from behind by the other bus.

Business, Money & Finance : CE Marketing: California Duo Crack "The Google Slap" Code for the Home Business Industry; PPC Supremacy is Live till 12PM Today and Then is Closed for...?
on 2010/9/1 14:00:00 (51 reads)
Business, Money & Finance

(SkyNewswire.com) --- "Affiliate marketers, network marketers, and home business entrepreneurs in particular have been hit hard over the past 18 months and traffic for them has been scarce," says Jim Yaghi, one of the trainers spearheading the PPC-focused training.

PPC or Pay-Per-Click advertising has been traditionally the most valuable source of traffic for online entrepreneurs. 29-year-old David Schwind, who worked closely with Yaghi in building the training series, says, "Changes in consumer laws have made it difficult for systems that rely solely on affiliate traffic to do business. With most of their affiliates WIPED off of major advertising platforms like Google and Facebook, the system owners are struggling to stay alive."
