Social Networking Sites

You think privacy setting are automatically set in facebook and
other socialnetworking sites, think again. Most users don't know
that setting their profile to private is up to them. Because of
this most of the users in facebook do not have their profile set
to private. This allows marketing companies to access your
information as well as friends you don't know. Many people allow
friends to come into their network because they claim to be a friend
of a friend. These dishonest fake friends come into your facebook
page solely to gather information from your profile that will enable
them to send you spam email or gather information for identity theft.

New Health Care Reform Myths Debunked

Here are several health care myths that have been
debunked by the government:

1. Health care reform will NOT use tax dollars to pay
for abortions. This is stated clearly in the reform
documents. The health insurance reform legislation
maintains the status quo of no federal funding for
abortions, except in cases of rape, incest
or when the life of the woman is endangered.

2. Health care reform will NOT lead to massive tax
increases and kill jobs. To the contrary, the new reform
will save tax dollars and help create jobs at the...

10 Ways To Save Money In A Tough Economy


Many Americans complain they are having a tough
time paying bills because we are in a tough economy,
but for many of the complainers, their bill paying
was tough in a good economy. Why? They overspend
no matter how much money they make. If they under
spend when the economy is good, they will have money
left to save and then live off when the economy is
tough. Also, when the economy is tough, your good
habits will be rewarded with financial peace of mind,
transferring the good habits you learned from the
better economy to the poor economy. Since the U.S.
economic status fluctuates every 12-20 years, it is
best to keep a sound financial budget in good times and
bad.

Inadequate Infection Control Procedures Can Put Your
Life at Risk in a Surgery Center

Drug resistant MRSA infections are on the rise in the nation's
hospitals, and, as a retired dentist, I can tell you that infection
practices in dental offices have increased remarkably since the
discovery of the AIDS (HIV) virus. Now, despite all of the
infection control courses physicians, dentist and other health
care professionals are required to take, we find that surgery
centers all over the country are not using adequate infection
control procedures.

Because of the lack of infection control in two major surgery
centers in Las Vegas, Nevada, which caused a major hepatitis
outbreak, the federal government ordered a major...

Knowing The ABC's of Health Insurance Can Save Your Life and Save Your Home

As a former member of the health care industry I
was amazed at how little patients knew about their
own health insurance. Some patients thought they
had great health insurance that paid for everything,
but didn’t, and some thought their health insurance
was like car insurance, if they used it, they would
be penalized. So, when patients came to my clinic I
tried to explain their health insurance benefits to
avoid confusion, but most clinics skip the explanations,
hence, it would benefit you to do your own research,
and ask lots of questions.

Making Sense Of The Volatile Financial Markets

A Commentary

In recent days we had a market crash, saw the federal
government infuse a promise of $700 billion dollars in
the financial markets and then days later experienced
the largest one day stock market gain in history. Then
the market oscillated way up and way down for days after.
Any bad news about the economy seems to have sent the
financial markets in a tailspin. Any talk from a financial
specialist or the President also seems to send the markets
