Montreal, Quebec, Canada (CaymanMama.com) — Mark Owen, a UK pop sensation of the group Take That, may lose his marriage in spite of the fact that he is seeking treatment for his out-of-control alcohol addiction in an effort to save it.

Owen’s wife, actress Emma Owen told a friend she may still leave her singer husband, whom she has been married to for six months. They have been a couple for five years and have two children together.

Owen checked himself into a rehabilitation center last week after admitting to a risqué one night stand involving 10 women, as well as taking part in one long-term affair while dating his current wife.

“Emma is absolutely mortified and as things stand she doesn’t think she can take Mark back. The sheer scale of the betrayal is so huge,” a friend of Emma’s told a British tabloid. “Almost overnight, Emma has gone from being in what she thought was a happy marriage to finding out her husband is a serial adulterer with a big drinking problem. … She’s scared of girls coming out of the woodwork and selling their story about liaisons with him.”

It has also been reported that Owen has been receiving advice from former band mate Robbie Williams who has also struggled with substance abuse.

Dallas, TX (Press Release)—It is widely believed that police officers are killed more often by altercations with suspects, gunshots, and other criminal activities, when in fact more officers are killed in line-of duty car crashes while not wearing their seat belts. Amy K. Witherite, a prominent Dallas, Texas automobile accident lawyer reports, police officers believe that seat belts could become a problem when trying to exit the cruiser at a seconds notice, or when they is unruly suspect in the backseat, but do not stop to think what could happen if they were involved in a crash, as reported by the Houston Chronicle.

Data provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) http://www.ntsb.gov/ revealed that across the United States at least 64 police officers have died from 2004 to 2008; with 40-percent of those officers who sustained fatal injures were not wearing their seat belts during that time period. In Texas alone, five out of 13 officers who were killed during an automobile crash in 2007 were unbuckled at the time. Over the past three years, 18 Texas police officers were killed in car and motorcycle crashes, while only 16 officers were killed by gunshots. A 2006 informal study in the Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection and Critical Care, they study the popular syndicated COPS television series, in which they found that officer buckle up less than 40 percent of the time, with 20 percent of the officers killed between 1997 and 2001 were not wearing their seatbelts. An analyst for the Internal Association of Chiefs of Police estimated that about one third of officers fail to fasten their seatbelt.

Am I losing my mind? My husband is the one who won’t stop drinking so why can’t I just file for divorce?

Chatsworth Montreal alcohol rehabilitation facility offers help for New York divorce lawyer clients who can’t stop drinking.

New York, NY(news)–Till death do us part, my husband is still drinking, and I love him. For better or for worst, my husband still stinks of booze, and I love him. For richer or for poorer, my husband keeps draining our checking account at the bar, but I still love him…right? I have consulted with five different New York City divorce lawyers and have backed out of filing for a marital separation on three separate occasions. I feel like I am losing my mind, and I am not the one drinking here. Maybe he will really stop drinking this time. I keep the house perfect, the kids in line, a happy bedroom, and my husband still comes home drunk.

Just when I think I can’t take it anymore, I consult a divorce lawyer in Manhattan, and I have a momentary new lease on life. I feel the courage and hope of a new life for my kids and me. Then my husband promises he will stop binge drinking alcohol and tells me he can’t live without his family. Until death do us part. Just because he consumes alcohol every day doesn’t make him an alcoholic. He has a good job plus good wives stay with their husbands to keep the family together, for better of for worse? If I were a better wife he probably wouldn’t drink so much and want to spend more time at home. I have to stop nagging him. I feel like I am losing my mind sometimes and maybe I am the one who needs treatment. One divorce attorney asked me if I was codependent on my husband. I guess I am but aren’t all wives?

Employers and employees may find themselves in litigation with one another over a breach of contract issue, the breach of a non-compete agreement, or a discrimination or retaliation matter.  Sometimes, the parties can resolve their differences easily.  But if the parties are not able to resolve the case at the outset, they must participate in the discovery process.  This is the process whereby each side learns more about the facts and matters at issue in the lawsuit.

Discovery can take several forms, including written questions to be answered by the other side, requests for certain categories of documents and oral depositions. In most discrimination or retaliation matters, the parties will depose the former employee, the person who made the decision to discharge the former employee, and other witnesses who may have knowledge of critical facts.  In a breach of contract situation, the parties may need to depose individuals both inside and outside the company.

Once the discovery process draws to a close, the parties are armed with the necessary information to either try the case or to make a second attempt at settlement.  To speak with a Texas attorney who both settles and tries employment disputes, please contact the employment lawyers at Clouse Dunn Khoshbin LLP at info@cdklawyers.com.

New York, NY- The city of New York enacted several new regulations and laws to help protect and ensure the safety of asbestos abatement contractors and workers, who handle the toxic asbestos fibers that are prevalent in buildings throughout the city. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Department of Buildings (DOB), and the New York Fire Department (FDNY) have joined together to ensure that New York City’s workers, and residents are protected from the known cancer-causing carcinogen, as reported by the DEP.

The newly enacted laws will impact how pending asbestos projects are filed within the city, how they are approved and inspected. The laws will also initiate new levels of partnership between the DEP, DOB, and the FDNY, who will oversee asbestos abatement and construction safety. Under the new regulations, asbestos abatement projects and demolition projects cannot be conducted simultaneously, which will ensure that workers who are inside the building are all wearing protective clothing while the abatement project is underway. Before, under the old laws, it was common for demolition crews to only wear dust masks or respirators in the same vicinity as abatement activities. In addition, abatement contractors must now pass stricter, lengthier exams before becoming a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. Workers also cannot use matches, cigarette lighters, open flames, smoke cigarettes, or other tobacco use while working in the same area where an asbestos abatement project is being conducted. This is to keep abatement workers from removing their protective gear while in contaminated areas for smoking breaks.

Asbestos fibers are a serious respiratory health hazard, which has been proven to be toxic and even deadly. When workers, laborers, residents, and consumers are exposed to asbestos containing materials or areas that are contaminated with asbestos, the risk for illness, injury, and fatal disease is often high. There is no known safe level of exposure to asbestos fibers, which can cause cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

/EIN Presswire/ PRESS RELEASE 15/3/2010

Subject: Call for resignation of the Greek Competition Commission

Denouncement to the E.U.Antitrust authorities.In a statement published on Friday in Athens,STOPCARTEL Antitrust N.G.O. has made a call for immediate resignation of the president and the members of the Greek Competition Commission.They officially overthrew the rule of law.

The statement came soon after their decision to reject an application for postponement of the judgement of a case due to heavy injury of the lawyer of the plaintiff company, as the legislation provides.This is the last of a series of illegal practices of the present president and members of the commission over the last several months..

IRON TENCO S.A. the company who submitted since 2006 the two Antitrust complaints that uncovered the hard core Greek steel cartel,proceeded to the Greek Competition Commission since 10 months ago after an order of the Minister of the Economy and Development, with an application to revoke the decision of the scandalous acquittal of certain members of the said steel cartel.

Following continuous unacceptable and illegal practices in handling Antitrust complaints concerning several sectors of the Greek economy,exersising internal terrorism and persecutions against members of the staff of the commission reacting to the above illegal practices,the president and the group which has been appointed by the previous government to exercise control of the Greek Competition Commission on behalf of the large economic tycoons of the country, passed last week the red line, denying to the legal representitive of the above plaintiff company the basic constitutonal human right of legal representation and assistance! .

The said,president and members of the commission rejected last Thursday an application for postponement of the judgement of the above steel cartel case, made by the plaintiff company, due to heavy injury of their lawyer in a road accident, as the legislation provides and began the judgement procedure in the absence of the plaintiff and their lawyer !

With the above move,the Greek Competition Commission overthrew officially the rule of law.

The plaintif company is preparing an official denouncement to the European Competition Commissioner and the European Parliament, to the Transparency committee of the Greek Parliament and to the Greek Minister of Economy and Development,calling them to take action and investigate this case that shows strong indications that represent another serious corruption practice in the public sector of the country.

STOPCARTEL N.G.O has reported officially last year the illegal practices of the Greek Competition Commission to the European Competition Commissioner and the European Parliament, obtaining a decision of the Petitions Commission of the European Parliament that they will keep the above case open for further investigation.The denouncement to the previous Commissioner Mrs Krooes is still in arears.

STOPCARTEL is a registered non-profit Organization in Greece and U.K.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada (CaymanMama.com) — Reports about the recent death of 80’s teen idol Corey Haim has put the spotlight on addiction and substance abuse.

The cause of Haim’s death has not yet been officially determined; however, the 38-year-old actor has publicly spoken about his long-time battle with addiction, which has led to speculation that substance abuse may have played a role.

A recent report regarding Haim’s refusal to accept help from David “Dr. Drew” Pinsky of VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab” reality program, stating he told producers of the show he was not in need of help, illustrates the need for those battling addiction to embrace treatment. Canada addiction rehabilitation center Chatsworth Pavilion discusses three myths about substance abuse and addiction that may prevent one, or their families from seeking the help they need.

Addiction Myths

It has been said that the first step to overcoming an addiction is admitting that one has a problem. The following are three myths that often prevent addicts from taking the first step in their road to recovery.

• (Myth) Addicts can stop using when they want to- Addiction is characterized as a disease, and long-term abuse of drugs can change one’s brain making their ability to stop with willpower alone difficult.

• (Myth) Recovery can only begin after one hits rock bottom – Recovery does not have to start after an addict has reached their lowest point. In fact, the earlier there is intervention, the less complicated an addiction may be to treat.

• (Myth) Addicts have to want to quit on their own – Being motivated by the pressure of family, legal intervention, or other factors can be just as effective as self-motivation when overcoming an addiction. Becoming sober helps one gain a better perspective in terms of wanting to be successful with treatment.

These are only some of the myths that can stand in the way of one’s sobriety. Learning the facts about addiction and treatment options is important for success long-term.

Chatsworth Pavilion is an addiction rehabilitation center that offers a closed group residential program, unique to the traditional revolving door programs of others. The center encourages those interested in learning more about their facility and recovery program availability to visit http://www.chatsworthpavilion.com or call 1-866-866-5021.

The Fifth Circuit ruled for an employer in a workplace retaliation matter.  Johnson v. Diversicare Afton Oaks LLC, No. 08-20827 (5th Cir. Feb. 17, 2010), available at http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/08/08-20827-CV0.wpd.pdf.

The plaintiff, an assistant director at a nursing home, failed to investigate an alleged incident of resident abuse and was suspended pending an investigation into her failure to investigate the alleged incident of abuse.  Following the investigation, she was asked to return to work but declined to do so because she had already filed a retaliation claim against her employer.

Texas law protects a nursing home employee from retaliation by an employer if the employee reports a violation of law.  Here, the employer moved for summary judgment, alleging that the plaintiff failed to actually make a report.  Evidence showed that, while the plaintiff telephoned a Texas agency on the relevant date, she did so merely to ask a question and did not report a violation of law.  Further, while the plaintiff argued that an employer can be held liable for retaliation when an employee is punished for the intent of reporting, she failed to show any causal relationship between her intent to report a violation and the retaliatory action of suspension.  Accordingly, the Court affirmed the district court’s grant of summary judgment.

To speak with a Texas retaliation attorney, please contact the employment law lawyers at Clouse Dunn Khoshbin LLP at info@cdklawyers.com.

REEG Lawyers: Another Frivolous Atrazine Class Action Lawsuit Only Harms U.S. Farmers

In these tough economic times, one may wonder why anyone - other than class action lawyers - would seek to destroy what EPA estimates is a $2 billion annual economic benefit to the nation

After plaintiffs’ attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Monday in the Southern District of Illinois, Kurtis B. Reeg, attorney for defendant Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., said another frivolous atrazine lawsuit only harms U.S. farmers.

“In these tough economic times, one may wonder why anyone - other than class action lawyers - would seek to destroy what EPA estimates is a $2 billion annual economic benefit to the nation, and all of the jobs that go with it,” Reeg said. “This lawsuit has no merit because we know from EPA-mandated testing that no water systems since 2005 have exceeded the annual average guidance for atrazine. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously.”

Atrazine is a widely-used herbicide in the U.S. and 60 countries around the world to help grow safe, affordable and abundant crops, including corn, sorghum, and sugar cane. EPA re-registered atrazine in 2006, stating it would cause no harm to the general population.

“This suit is no surprise, as the same plaintiffs’ attorneys who have been trying a wasteful case in Madison County, Ill., have been shopping this around for years,” said Reeg. “Just last month, plaintiffs in Illinois voluntarily dismissed numerous damage and liability claims they had made in their case. With that disarray, it appears attorneys are scrambling to another venue in which to waste scarce taxpayer resources with junk science and false allegations for personal gain at the expense of U.S. agriculture.

“Filing in federal court appears to be a mis-step, given the Iberville Parish, La., case which was dismissed by Chief Judge Butler in Mobile, Ala., in 1999. Judge Butler ruled that removing safe and approved levels of atrazine from drinking water was unnecessary and that shifting the costs of such unnecessary removal was wrong. This decision was also upheld on appeal, and we hope the court will rely on this past verdict to guide future decisions.

“Everyone should bear in mind that if a 150-pound adult drank literally thousands of gallons of water with atrazine at three parts-per-billion every day for 70 years, she still would not reach the exposure level at which no adverse impact has been detected in the laboratory.

“We know these communities are strapped for cash, and suing companies to upgrade their decades-old water systems may seem like an easy way to raise money, but it only harms local farmers who rely on these safely-regulated crop protection tools for their livelihood and to help cost-effectively feed a quickly growing consumer public.

“The many statements by farmers and their associations attest to their support for atrazine and its safety in use. They have for half a century. EPA’s atrazine regulation is a model of sound science carefully applied in its mission of protecting all Americans and our environment.

“As a hallmark of good stewardship, my client worked voluntarily with stakeholders for years and since then also with EPA to monitor the water systems where minute detections of atrazine may occasionally occur. Since 2005, no water system has had an annual average atrazine level in its drinking water greater than the EPA standard, which itself carries a 1000-fold safety factor.

“The mere filing of this new lawsuit suggests additional forum shopping by out-of-town attorneys who turn neighbor against neighbor to seek profit for themselves.”
