John Mccormick my new Practical Consumer Column on Newsblaze.com

I've been a consumer reporter for decades mostly related to high technology but now I have an opportunity to point out fraud and deception in everyday ads which cost consumers billion$ every year.

 http://newsblaze.com/story/20091217133012mcco.nb/topstory.html

The first issue explains why it is dumb (really dumb!) to pay more than about $30 for an electric space heater.

I'll be covering a lot of common problems such as work-at-home and secret shoppers (good and bad), how to buy and sell gold.


Puppy mills and pet stores.

Statin drugs shown to reduce death rate from flu

The very latest report from Vanderbilt University and the CDC is that common statin drugs
used to reduce cholesterol, also cut the mortality rate from H1N1 by half.

Statins reduce inflamation in the body and that is considered the likely reason.

no local postal closings planned

With the USPS loosing billion$ there is a proposal
 to close a number of post offices but
the current list of offices being studied
for possible closing doesn't include any local post offices.

The study seems to be focusing on urban
and suburban areas where there are a number of
offices available to take over for any closed offices.

See http://www.prc.gov/prc-pages/default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
for a link to the latest list.
