Hundreds of Companies Victimized in Multi-State Scheme

More than 800 commercial trucking companies in nearly a dozen states paid Atlanta-area insurance broker John Paul Kill approximately $3.7 million in premiums from 2013 to mid-2014 to purchase insurance that protected their livelihoods: their cargo and the trailers that carried it.

There was only one problem—for the most part, Kill didn’t purchase the insurance requested by his customers. Investigators with Georgia’s Insurance Commissioner’s Office discovered that Kill pocketed the premiums for his personal use.

SLAUGHTER BEACH DELAWARE(Oct. 5, 2014) – The DuPont Nature Center at Mispillion Harbor Reserve has closed for the winter, and will reopen Friday, April 1, 2016 for the busy spring and summer seasons. The center is owned and operated by DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife.

 The DuPont Nature Center closes during the winter months when there is less public use of the center, which makes better use of the limited federal Sport Fish Restoration Funds which help the center operate. Cost savings from the winter closure supports aquatic education programs during spring and summer when public programs and visitation are in most demand.

Newswise — MINNEAPOLIS – A study of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) found that those who spent time in the sun every day during the summer as teens developed the disease later than those reporting not spending time in the sun every day. The study, which was published in the October 7, 2015, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, also found that people who were overweight at age 20 developed the disease earlier than those who were average weight or underweight. 

\”The factors that lead to developing MS are complex and we are still working to understand them all, but several studies have shown that vitamin D and sun exposure may have a protective effect on developing the disease,\” said study author Julie Hejgaard Laursen, MD, PhD, of Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark. \”This study suggests that sun exposure during the teenage years may even affect the age at onset of the disease.\”

Aging can be a complicated, mysterious process. We’ve been trying to find the key to staying youthful since the dawn of time, and though we’ve managed to prolong the aging process, the fountain of youth is still evasive. Though some parts of aging are inevitable, a common myth is that dementia is one of them. Dementia…

A state appeals court has upheld a local judge’s decision that Julio Colon (DOB 6/8/87), of Newark NJ, sentenced to consecutive five-year prison terms after pleading guilty in 2011 to drug and weapon possession charges, was not ineffectively represented by his lawyer when he pled.

Colon’s lawyer should have argued for a concurrent sentence on the charges, his appeal contended.

National Cyber Security Awareness Month

In many cases, an online password is all that separates the average person from financial or reputational harm—passwords are the way that people log into their online lives: e-mail, banking, social media accounts, cloud storage, and so much more. And often times, in an effort to better remember passwords, users often minimize their size and complexity, use the same passwords for different online accounts, and don’t change them very frequently, if at all.
