...they'd rather roll the dice with another owner since studies show many modified mortgages still go south, just delaying the inevitable. But in cases like Miami Gardens, says Milligan's lawyer, Miami real estate attorney Rashmi Airan-Pace, lenders need to realize that as foreclosures mount and infect neighborhoods, their chances of auctioning those houses dim significantly. "Given what fair market value of these homes has become today," Airan-Pace says, "they especially need to change their mind-set about reducing principal," which she complains too few are willing to consider...
...stay alive and grow in such conditions, farm animals need pharmaceutical help, which can have further damaging consequences for humans. Overuse of antibiotics on farm animals leads, inevitably, to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and the same bugs that infect animals can infect us too. The UCS estimates that about 70% of antimicrobial drugs used in America are given not to people but to animals, which means we're breeding more of those deadly organisms every day. The Institute of Medicine estimated in 1998 that antibiotic resistance cost the public-health system $4 billion to $5 billion a year - a figure that...
...vaccinations, in order to contain the spread of a theoretical pandemic. In their calculations, the most effective policy was to aim first for inoculating children ages 5 to 19 and adults ages 30 to 39. That's because school-age children are such a powerful nexus of flu infection: they get sick, infect one another in the close and less-than-hygienic hothouse of school and then bring the virus back home to their parents. The parents, in turn, can then infect others in the community. Knock these links out of the transmission chain, and the spread of the virus...
Adding to the chaos is the fact that the zombie computers often show no signs of being infected. Hackers look for computers with security vulnerabilities and infect them in advance of an attack. When the hackers are ready to launch the assault, the master computer awakens its zombie army, and the attack begins. Because DDoS utilizes multiple computers from multiple locations - and because hackers may use their network for only a single attack - there's no way to protect against a seemingly random array of computers suddenly going rogue. Once the attack begins, websites can try to trace the sudden...
...Food and Drug Administration a year earlier, protects against four types of the human papillomavirus—or HPV—two of which cause 70 percent of cervical cancer cases, according to drugmaker Merck’s Web site. There are over 40 strains of HPV that can infect the human genital area, according to the Center for Disease Control's Web site, although most people who become infected do not show symptoms...
