As a result, hypothermia can develop in older adults after even relatively mild exposure to cold weather or a small drop in temperature. These tips from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health will help older people avoid this dangerous cold-weather condition. When the temperature... Read more →

Enhancing Ties Between Law Enforcement and Business 01/22/16 In 2008, a new federal law creating stricter penalties for criminals who engaged in intellectual property theft was enacted to keep pace with globalization, e-commerce, and technology advances.
