•Insurer's handling of fire has Ossining condo owners fuming
Ask some distraught people in Ossining and they'll tell you emphatically that integrity went up in smoke on April 7, 2005, when a basement electrical fire destroyed, or badly damaged, six townhouse condominiums. Since the fire, they haven't been able to return to their homes. That's two full years ago Saturday. And the way things are going, it could conceivably be another two years before life is back to normal at Building G of the Cedar Garden Townhouses.

AIG Auto Insurance today announced the AIG Teen GPS Program for auto insurance policyholders with teen drivers. According to the National Highway Safety Administration, auto accidents are the leading cause of death for 16 to 20 year-olds, with roughly 6,000 young lives lost annually. The program will initially be piloted in New Jersey, as well as Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Washington, and uses GPS technology to allow parents of teen drivers to monitor the location of the teen's car and driving.

Additionally, the AIG Teen GPS Program will automatically send the parent an e-email and/or text message if the teen's car exceeds pre-defined speed limits or is driven too far from a pre-defined location, such as home, school or work.
Tax Time: Did You Have Substantial Property Damage in 2006?
NEW YORK, March 26, 2007 — With less than a month until tax day, taxpayers are sifting through their files to assess last year's gains and losses. If you suffered a loss of personal property not entirely covered by insurance, a portion of the unreimbursed loss may be an allowable deduction on your federal income tax return, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.).“If your home, car or boat was damaged or destroyed by a windstorm, fire, flood, vandalism or other sudden and unexpected disaster, you may be able to deduct a portion of the loss from your taxes," said Jeanne M. Salvatore, I.I.I.'s senior vice president, public affairs.To qualify for the deduction, these losses usually need to be substantial, said the I.I.I. If you were significantly underinsured or had a large catastrophe deductible, you may have a sizable unreimbursed casualty loss.

Its coming up on Cover the Uninsured Week (April 23-29), a time when the country reflects on the needs of 45 million Americans living without health insurance. This years effort has a single goal: supporting reauthorization of federal funding for the State Childrens Health Insurance Program. As candidates for president unveil their plans for universal health coverage, it is also an appropriate time to reflect on broader issues, and to separate reality from political rhetoric.

These units offer a more informal alternative to postoperative care at hospitals or affiliated rehab facilities. The article talked about competition in the medical marketplace.
