Congratulations to this woman. Keep your spending in check and save more. The answer is never in…Read More making more money if you cannot have self control of how you budget things. Personal finance is not that complicated at all that a fifth grader can understand the math of it. So why can't most adults in this country save?

Does this case demonstrate the need to amend § 160.203 of HIPAA so as to put elder abuse on an…Read More equal footing with child abuse when it comes to enabling the states to enact laws needed to protect their citizens against abuse?
This section of HIPAA currently provides the following (Source: HIPAA Administrative Simplification, page 7, http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/administrative/privacyrule/adminsimpregtext.pdf)
"A standard, requirement, or implementation specification adopted under this subchapter that is contrary to a provision of State law preempts the provision of State law. This general rule applies, except if one or more of the following conditions is met:
...
(c) The provision of State law, including State procedures established under such law, as applicable, provides for the reporting of disease or injury, child abuse, birth, or death, or for the conduct of public health surveillance, investigation, or intervention."
A proposed amendment would merely add “elder abuse” as follows
"A standard, requirement, or implementation specification adopted under this subchapter that is contrary to a provision of State law preempts the provision of State law. This general rule applies, except if one or more of the following conditions is met:
...
(c) The provision of State law, including State procedures established under such law, as applicable, provides for the reporting of disease or injury, child abuse, elder abuse, birth, or death, or for the conduct of public health surveillance, investigation, or intervention."

Same thing happened to my husband. I took a picture of a bed sore and reported it to NYSDOH. The…Read More hospital installed 3 security camera's in his room. Stopped my visits for about 6 weeks because I took a picture of a crime and reported. They punish my husband for my advocacy and no one will lift a finger to stop it.

This situation is getting out of hand. It seems that a week can't go by without another burglary…Read More taking place in the area of Mt Sinai. What is it going to take for the police to to realize that something is going on here? Could there be a step up in daytime patrols in the area? This is obviously the work of kids on drugs. Stealing cooper fittings is what junkies use to do back in the 70's and 80's. Stealing video consoles! You don't have to be a detective to figure this one out. This is becoming all to common in this hard working community. Hey SCPD! what do you say and try and be pro active in an area that is being hit pretty regularly with reports of burglary. This is what we pay our taxes for, for you to provide some kind of protection to homeowners. All were asking is to step up patrols in the area.

Same here, I will avoid that intersection like the plague. I love the way the plan is to make 347 3…Read More lanes in each direction for a radius of a half mile from there. Its just going to push the bottlenecks to a different location. I would bet anything these new jug handles are going to create more of a mess than is already present there. Watch for cars lined up down the road blocking neighboring intersections while they wait to make a turn. This whole plan is a gigantic waste of money. They need to eliminate 3/4 of the traffic lights on 347 to even remotely help. Instead, they added more lights down at the other end of this project. My commute from PJS to Hauppauge on 347 consistes of 43 traffic lights. One day I got caught at 26 of them! What a joke.

Once this work gets underway this is going to be a mess. Local businesses better be ready for…Read More business to slip once work starts. Going to Uncle G's and the movie theatre are going to be a pain. I really question whatever they are proposing is actually going to ease traffic in this particular area. I know I'm going to be scoping out the back roads once this work starts.

Peace Of mind Landscaping does my yard too. They always are there when they say they will be and do…Read More an excellent job. I just had my mulch done and he did it and looks great. He is fair in his pricing and I would recommend him. I have a very small area of grass in the front of my house, so small I am surprised he would even take the time to do it because it takes him longer to set up then to actually cut trim and blow but he does and its well worth the price of $25 Call them at 331-0908

I have about 3/4 acre to take care of. O'Connell's Landscaping does the lawn cutting and trim for…Read More $40 per week. They do all kinds of lawn services as well but I only look to have the lawn cut and trimmed. They are professional and courteous. They get my vote!
