FALLBROOK – The sandwich is the quintessential portable food, and one that has scores of incarnations. The modern concept of a sandwich that combines meats, cheeses and vegetables between slices of bread can be traced to 18th century Europe.

QUINCY, Mass. – According to the National Fire Protection Association, if someone has a reported home fire today, they are more likely to die than they were in 1980. This startling fact is attributed to several factors, including the way homes are built and the contents in them. “Open floor plans and a prevalence of modern synthetic furnishings make homes burn faster and the fires produce deadly smoke and gases within moments,” Lorraine Carli, NFPA vice president of Outreach and Advocacy, said. According to Carli, residents c...

Parents like to think they’re the most important influence in their children’s lives, and that’s probably true up to a certain age but then the outside world, in the form of school and friends, intrudes. By the time a child is a teenager, it’s almost a certainty that the opinions and actions of other teens are playing a large role in decisions about everything from clothing choices to hairstyles to academic efforts. Peer pressure is natural and, in many cases, can be a positive thing. But it can also be a negative, especia...
Having good insurance doesn’t always mean that a patient won’t be caught with a huge surprise medical bill they didn’t expect and don’t know where to turn. But politics and self-interest on the part of insurers and health care providers have gotten in the way of a workable solution. Such bills result when someone goes to the emergency room and the physicians treating them – primarily ER doctors, anesthesiologists and radiologists – don’t belong to a patient’s insurer’s network of providers. In other words, those providers a...
