OTTSVILLE, PA, January 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) Alpha Center for Divorce Mediation, pioneered integrated divorce mediation services 15 years ago, have once again brought critical advancements to the way divorce is handled by introducing a new concept that facilitates divorce mediation online.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey divorcing couples now have an option to mediate online, as an alternative to in-office sessions. This affords clients the privacy of mediating their divorce using their personal computers in a home setting.
Many savvy couples have already learned to forgo expensive and grueling court battles and opted for the common sense divorce mediation approach. Up until now, that meant the inconvenience of traveling distances over the course of several months to meet their mediator in person, in the often uncomfortable presence of their spouse.
As of January 1, 2011, they need only to log onto their computer to conduct their meetings live with their mediator and spouse; all gathered together in a "virtual" mediation room. "We have seen the tension and discomfort experienced by our clients when they are asked to meet in person to resolve their differences with their soon-to-be ex. There is no doubt that this technology will give them greater comfort and convenience as they navigate their divorce challenges." says Alpha Center's president, Keila M. Gilbert, Esquire.
Psychologist Reb Brooks, who works with Alpha Center couples to develop Parenting Plans (in lieu of custody battles) also, feels the new technology will offer a benefit to clients. "Divorce, even a mediated divorce, is a difficult process. Anything that can make it easier on those involved, whether it is financially, emotionally or logistically should be considered a blessing. "This opinion is shared by Ed Roberts, CPA, who provides tax planning strategies for Alpha Center clients. He believes that tax planning and advice he offers is better suited to being discussed in this private and convenient setting.
This technological advancement follows Alpha's earlier development of interactive online programs for Marriage Success, Divorce Survival and New Beginnings. These webinar programs opened the door for attendees to educate themselves and speak with professionals about their personal relationship matters in the privacy of their home computers.

Landscape tree disease from 12 wood decay fungi studied
2010-12-31
STONEVILLE, MS – Landscape trees, valued for their aesthetic nature and their environmental benefits, are becomingly increasingly valuable in urban environments. A single mature tree can add considerable value to commercial and residential properties. Conversely, tree mortality can result in significant economic losses. Urban trees must endure adverse growing conditions that reduce their structural strength and subject them to stresses, predisposing them to disease. One particularly devastating pathogen, wood-rotting fungi, can compromise the stability of urban trees, resulting ...
Researchers discover potential solutions to New England roadside erosion
2010-12-31
KINGSTON, RI – Erosion is a significant problem on highway embankments in New England. To mitigate erosion on the regions' highways, slopes are seeded with a grass–legume mixture that usually including red fescue, a grass preferred for its drought-tolerance and ability to thrive in acidic, infertile soil. "A mixture of red fescue, perennial ryegrass, and kentucky bluegrass is planted to stabilize the soil, but only the red fescue survives long term on slopes", noted Rebecca Nelson Brown, lead author of a report in HortScience. Brown and a team from the Department of Plant ...
Improving nitrogen use efficiency lessens environmental impact
2010-12-31
ITALY – Most agricultural crops require large quantities of nitrate-rich fertilizer to realize optimal yields. The dilemma for growers is finding ways to balance the amount of nitrogen needed for production while minimizing potentially harmful nitrates that can leach into ground and surface waters. Increased interest in environmentally beneficial "low-input" approaches is challenging researchers to identify genotypes that have a characteristic called "high nutrient use efficiency", or NUE. Using vegetable types with high NUE could help growers lessen environmental impacts ...
Can bedding plants thrive with recyled water?
2010-12-31
EL PASO, TX – To conserve dwindling water resources, municipalities are encouraging the use of "recycled water", municipal wastewater that has been extensively treated and deemed safe to reuse for irrigation and other purposes. Using recycled water can be cost-effective and helps conserve the potable supply. In areas of the U.S. where production of bedding plants means income and jobs, commercial growers are looking for ways to use reclaimed or recycled water for irrigation, but using recycled water does not come without challenges. The water can contain high levels of ...
April grafting optimal for Fraser fir
2010-12-31
RALEIGH, NC – Christmas trees provide a significant source of revenue in southern Appalachia, resulting in millions of dollars in sales during the holiday buying season. The most popular species in the region is fraser fir, appreciated for its fragrance and consumer-friendly traits such as soft needles, strong branches, exceptional needle retention, and natural Christmas tree shape. Frasers, indigenous to isolated high-elevation mountains in southwestern Virginia, western North Carolina, and eastern Tennessee, are under attack by a pathogen called Phytophthora cinnamom, ...
Large-scale analysis identifies new genetic alterations associated with height
2010-12-31
A large collaborative study has added to the growing list of genetic variants that determine how tall a person will be. The research, published by Cell Press on December 30 in the American Journal of Human Genetics, identifies uncommon and previously unknown variants associated with height and might provide insight into the genetic architecture of other complex traits.
Although environmental variables can impact attained adult height, it is clear that height is primarily determined by specific alleles that an individual inherits. Height is thought to be influenced by ...
New test announced for major killer of lung transplant patients
2010-12-31
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A lung transplant can mean a new chance at life. But many who receive one develop a debilitating, fatal condition that causes scar tissue to build up in the lungs and chokes off the ability to breathe.
University of Michigan researchers hope a new diagnostic tool they developed to predict bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) will allow doctors to intervene earlier and, ultimately, to provide life-saving treatments.
BOS is the leading cause of death for those who survive one year after lung transplantation and more than half of recipients will develop ...
First come, first served?
2010-12-31
Emergency department overcrowding can result in long waiting times for seriously ill patients. They then compete with patients with less severe illnesses for the next available treatment. In this edition of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2010; 107[50]: 892), Michael Christ and his coauthors provide an overview of current practice for initial assessment of emergency patients.
Triage provides reliable methods that can be used to assess the severity of an illness and the urgency of treatment in emergency departments.
In English-speaking countries, ...
What triggers mass extinctions? Study shows how invasive species stop new life
2010-12-31
An influx of invasive species can stop the dominant natural process of new species formation and trigger mass extinction events, according to research results published today in the journal PLoS ONE.
The study of the collapse of Earth's marine life 378 to 375 million years ago suggests that the planet's current ecosystems, which are struggling with biodiversity loss, could meet a similar fate.
Although Earth has experienced five major mass extinction events, the environmental crash during the Late Devonian was unlike any other in the planet's history.
The actual number ...
Was Israel the birthplace of modern man?
2010-12-31
Tel Aviv ― It has long been believed that modern man emerged from the continent of Africa 200,000 years ago. Now Tel Aviv University archaeologists have uncovered evidence that Homo sapiens roamed the land now called Israel as early as 400,000 years ago ― the earliest evidence for the existence of modern man anywhere in the world.
The findings were discovered in the Qesem Cave, a pre-historic site located near Rosh Ha'ayin that was first excavated in 2000. Prof. Avi Gopher and Dr. Ran Barkai of Tel Aviv University's Department of Archaeology, who run the excavations, ...
