| | Importance of life insurance in financially protecting families | | 2008-06-13 05:00:56 | | There is a significant role of insurance in protecting the family- financially, but still we need to know more about the insurance, amount of coverage, plicies and many other related issues. To learn about insurance, government or non-profit organizations are a good place to get useful information, tips, suggestions and advice about insurance.State Insurance Regulators Offer Tips for Consumers:According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC): "While many adults with dependent children living at home know they need life insurance to protect their families, not all have it, and few young singles even take the time to evaluate their options," says Alessandro A. Iuppa, NAIC president and superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Insurance. "To help educate consumers about if and when to purchase, increase or reduce life insurance at different stages in their lives, we've created Insure U." Consumer research conducted by the NAIC earlier this year indicates the following: | | By: How to be debt free? | | |

| | Tell World Congress Of Families That UNFPA Deserves Some Credit! | | 2008-01-16 23:20:00 | | CLICK HERE TO TELL WCF TO GIVE UNFPA SOME DESERVED CREDIT! The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is a great resource for learning about what is going on in the world. They are studying current issues worldwide in humanitarian and human rights issues. Some of their most interesting projects include the sex-ratio imbalance in Asia, Manila slums, HIV in Latin America, and Fistula worldwide.The organization was recently criticized by pro-life groups! It is reported,An international network of pro-family groups is calling on the UN Population Fund to place development before its promotion of abortion and contraception under the agency's "reproductive health services." The criticism from the World Congress of Families International (WCF) comes in response to the UNFPA's recently released annual report which stated that "reproductive rights" and contraception are the primary focus of the organization's work...."UNFPA acts as if this was one of the great tragedies to befall humanit | | By: Life Consistency | | |
| | Mass. elders without families have no protection against being declared incompetent! | | 2008-01-15 17:34:00 | | Yesterday the Boston Globe reported on the risks of being a Massachusetts elder without family and friends-- you might find yourself placed into state custody against your will!I didn't want to write this post until I had some good news to go along with the bad, but haven't been able to find much. Surely elders placed into state guardianship are at least entitled to legal representation, right? Well, not that I could figure out.Every year an unknown number of elders are declared incompetent and placed in state guardianship at the request of nursing homes, hospitals and others. They then become virtual prisoners of the nursing home, with no legal representation, no access to money or even the ability to find out where their money and belongings are, and no one to watch out for them.Some of these elders, of course, do meet the legal definition of incompetent, defined in the Law.com Dictionary as " referring to a person who is not able to manage his/her affairs due to mental deficiency (low I.Q., deterioration, illness or psychosis) or sometimes physical disability. Being incompetent can be the basis for appointment of a guardian or conservator (after a hearing in which the party who may be found to be incompetent has been interviewed by a court investigator and is present and/or represented by an attorney) to handle his/her person and/or affairs (often called "estate"). They need help and they should get help, but they do not deserve to be treated like children. Actually, I take that back, even children don't deserve to be treated the way they are.A few of the unjustly confined do manage to get out. "In December 2006, it took just 2 minutes and 10 seconds for Mass. General to convince Judge Merrill that 74-year-old Rose Doyle should be put in the care of a guardian. Doyle was confined to a nursing home for three months. She complained to Greater Boston Legal Services.

| | Depression In Families | | 2008-01-13 00:32:00 | | There's no single known cause for depression. The illness often runs in families. Experts believe a genetic vulnerability combined with environmental factors, such as stress or physical illness, may trigger an imbalance in brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, resulting in depression. Imbalances in three neurotransmitters — serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine — seem to be linked to depression.Scientists don't fully understand how imbalances in neurotransmitters cause signs and symptoms of depression. It's not certain whether changes in neurotransmitters are a cause or a result of depression. | | By: HealthyBodySoul | | |

| | | Rush Limbaugh Sells Harry Reid’s Letter on eBay to Support Military Families | | 2007-10-13 01:31:44 | | Rush Limbaugh today demonstrated he may be the most politically savvy person in America. After weeks of Media Matters, Moveon.org, and the Democrats in Congress, taking Rush’s statements out of context and claiming he attacked the troops, Rush Limbaugh clearly has won this battle.Harry Reid sent a formal letter to Clear Channel Radio, signed by 41 Congressmen, asking that Rush Limbaugh apologize to the Troops. I guess according to Harry Reid, Rush should apologize for having his statements distorted? Anyway, what Rush did next was truly brilliant, and patriotic.The entire proceeds of this auction, the entire high bid, will be donated to The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation, a registered charity which provides financial assistance to the children of fallen Marines and federal law enforcement officers. Rush Limbaugh serves on the Board of this organization and has been active on its behalf. All costs of this auction will be paid by the seller... every dollar of your winning bid will go to this charity, which has to date distributed over $29 million.Best of all, Rush asked all of the 41 disgraced Congressmen to match the bid to demonstrate how much they really support the troops.

| | Scandal of Elderly Abused by Their Families | | 2007-07-27 14:30:00 | | U.K. AT THE last census, 15,258 people out of the 80,287 living in the district were above the age of 65, which works out as 19 per cent of the population.However,both the county council and charity Help the Aged say that the true figure is likely to be much higher because there are still ongoing investigations and because a large amount of abuse goes unreported.Lizzie Jeans, the manager for Help the Aged's elder abuse campaign, said: "More often than not older people will not report abuse or maynot even recognise that they are being abused."Many elderly people have low self-esteem and think of themselves as a burden, so when people are being abusive,they often think that they deserve it."Recent research that we have carried out suggests that on anational level there maybe 500,000 cases of elder abuse that have gone unreported."The statistics reveal, quite shockingly, that family members were the main source of abuse....Of the other cases, four were committed by care home workers, on | | By: Elder Abuse | | |

| | Elderly Citizens Being Robbed By Own Families | | 2007-07-16 14:15:00 | | AUSTRALIA , QUEENSLAND'S property boom has sparked an increase in the number of elderly people being swindled by predatory family members.Middle-aged children whose parents own expensive property have used power of attorney to transfer ownership then sell homes, pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars.A spokeswoman for the Lifeline-sponsored Queensland Elder Abuse Prevention Unit said $30 million was known to be stolen this way each year.Many other seniors were too ashamed to report family-related theft. Justice Department Adult Guardian Dianne Pendergast said 145 cases of elder abuse were under investigation in Queensland.One woman lost her $750,000 home after granting a relative power of attorney.Another returned from hospital to find her house had been sold.Ms Pendergast said a growing number of "predators" wanted their parent's assets.

| | Constitutional Protections Don't Apply To Department Of Children And Families Investigations. | | 2007-06-18 14:15:00 | | By Jennifer Abel Courtesy of Thinking Mother BlogWhen accused of a crime you’re guaranteed certain constitutional rights, like the right to face and confront your accusers, have a jury trial, know the charges are against you and see what evidence the state has to support them. But none of these apply if you’re investigated by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.“The [DCF] is not a law enforcement agency and does not charge citizens with crimes,” department spokesman Gary Kleeblatt said in an e-mail. “Therefore, the agency has no involvement in the enforcement of constitutional rights that relate solely to criminal activity (jury trial, confront accuser).”“It’s a gimmick,” charges Michael Agranoff, an Ellington-based attorney who specializes in defending parents in DCF cases. “Making [these cases] civil instead of criminal is a gimmick to get around the fourth, fifth and sixth amendments to the Constitution.” Abridged >>Send your comments to jabel@h | | By: Elder Abuse | | |

CANCITA, Mexico - Since they joined their deported parents in Mexico, 7-year-old Adriana has stopped screaming “Papa!” in her sleep and 10-year-old Yadira’s asthma has eased. Pedro, 15, doesn’t break into tears anymore, and Adrian, 12, thinks of his new life as an adventure.
Awww… Poor little Adriana has bad dreams and Yadira suffers stress induced asthma, man, that just breaks my heart, and Pedro doesn’t break into tears?? At 15??
Good, it’s about time he woke up and smelled the roses, or tortillas as the case may be, you may call me a heartless bastard after you read my comments on this but I really don’t care, it’s fast becoming time that the American people are going to have to stand and defend these very shores, our home, our America, because you can bet your bottom dollar that the current administration is not going to do it for you…
