Free Massachusetts Divorce Seminar Set For Early February in Five Locations

Family law firm to present "Divorce Seminar 2013" in Springfield, Worcester, Burlington, Quincy, and Norwood.

2013-01-30

NORWOOD, MA, January 30, 2013 (Press-News.org) Leading divorce and family law attorneys from the Massachusetts Family Law Group will conduct a series of two-hour seminars teaching men and women how to properly plan and prepare for the "harsh reality of divorce." Each seminar will give participants a roadmap of the divorce process and focus on the main issues in a typical divorce case, such as child custody and parenting plans, child support and alimony, property division, and the allocation of debt. With over 100 years of combined experience in family law amongst the attorneys at the law firm, the group will serve as knowledgeable sources of guidance for participants.

"January and February are two of the busiest months for filing new divorces each year. We want to show people how to avoid the most common mistakes, survive the process, and emerge in the best shape possible," said Irwin M. Pollack, Founder and Lead Attorney of the firm.

Managing Attorney David L. Callahan insists, "None of our employees or attorneys will be soliciting legal work at the seminars. Our sole purpose is to educate men and women on how to be prepared in the event of a future divorce." Pollack and Callahan will present five seminars, at several different locations and at different times, to allow those who are interested more flexibility in attendance.

The first seminar will be on Saturday, February 2, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon at the Springfield Marriott. The second seminar will be held Monday, February 4th at the Worcester Hilton Inn and Gardens from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The third seminar will be at the Burlington Marriott on Wednesday, February 6th from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Seminars will also be held on Thursday, February 7th, from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon at the Quincy Marriott, and from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Courtyard Marriott in Norwood.

Pollack and Callahan both emphasize how proper strategizing and planning increases the likelihood of a successful divorce outcome. "Just as a smart homeowner takes out different types of home insurance to protect himself or herself in the event of a natural disaster, we plan on seeing some attendees who are savvy enough to protect themselves 'just in case' a future divorce were to occur," Pollack says. In such an event, "the person who attends our seminar should be less likely to be sent scrambling into a panic."

Attendance at the seminar is free, pre-registration is not required, and each participant will receive a free workbook.

Real angry birds 'flip the bird' before a fight

2013-01-29

DURHAM, N. C. -- Male sparrows are capable of fighting to the death. But a new study shows that they often wave their wings wildly first in an attempt to avoid a dangerous brawl. "For birds, wing waves are like flipping the bird or saying 'put up your dukes. I'm ready to fight,' " said Duke biologist Rindy Anderson. Male swamp sparrows use wing waves as an aggressive signal to defend their territories and mates from intruding males, Anderson said. The findings also are a first step toward understanding how the birds use a combination of visual displays and songs to ...

Study finds taking the stairs, raking leaves may have same health benefits as a trip to the gym

2013-01-29

CORVALLIS, Ore. – New research at Oregon State University suggests the health benefits of small amounts of activity – even as small as one- and two-minute increments that add up to 30 minutes per day – can be just as beneficial as longer bouts of physical exercise achieved by a trip to the gym. The nationally representative study of more than 6,000 American adults shows that an active lifestyle approach, as opposed to structured exercise, may be just as beneficial in improving health outcomes, including preventing metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. "Our ...

Link found between insulin sensitivity, cells' powerhouses

2013-01-29

SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 28, 2013) — If findings of a new study in mice are any indication, it might be possible to fine-tune cellular powerhouses called mitochondria, tweaking one aspect to increase insulin sensitivity, reduce body and fat mass, and even extend life. Exploiting this target could one day lead to novel treatments for type 2 diabetes — an endocrine system disease that affects 8 percent of the U.S. population. The research also points to promising new avenues of investigation in the biology of aging. The study, reported in The FASEB Journal by authors from the ...

Diabetes drug could hold promise for lung cancer patients

VIDEO: Diabetes drug could hold promise for lung cancer patients. Click here for more information. LA JOLLA, CA— Ever since discovering a decade ago that a gene altered in lung cancer regulated an enzyme used in therapies against diabetes, Reuben Shaw has wondered if drugs originally designed to treat metabolic diseases could also work against cancer. The growing evidence that cancer and metabolism are connected, emerging from a number of laboratories around the world ...

The 'July effect' -- negligible for outcomes following spine surgery

2013-01-29

Charlottesville, VA, January 29, 2013. The "July effect"—the notion that the influx of new residents and fellows at teaching hospitals in July of each year adversely affects patient care and outcomes—was examined in a very large data set of hospitalizations for patients undergoing spine surgery. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) and the University of Virginia Health System (Charlottesville, VA) found a negligible effect on periprocedural outcomes among patients treated by spine surgery. Detailed results of their thorough study are furnished in the article "The ...

Increasing severity of erectile dysfunction is a marker for increasing risk of cardiovascular disease and death

2013-01-29

A large study published in PLOS Medicine on January 29, 2013, shows that the risk of future cardiovascular disease and death increased with severity of erectile dysfunction in men both with and without a history of cardiovascular disease. While previous studies have shown an association between ED and CVD risk, this study finds that the severity of ED corresponds to the increased risk of CVD hospitalization and all-cause mortality. The study authors, Emily Banks (from the Australian National University) and colleagues, analyzed data from the Australian prospective cohort ...

New evidence highlights threat to Caribbean coral reef growth

2013-01-29

Coral reefs build their structures by both producing and accumulating calcium carbonate, and this is essential for the maintenance and continued vertical growth capacity of reefs. An international research team has discovered that the amount of new carbonate being added by Caribbean coral reefs is now significantly below rates measured over recent geological timescales, and in some habitats is as much as 70% lower. Coral reefs form some of the planet's most biologically diverse ecosystems, and provide valuable services to humans and wildlife. However, their ability to ...

Could the timing of when you eat, be just as important as what you eat?

2013-01-29

Boston, MA—Most weight-loss plans center around a balance between caloric intake and energy expenditure. However, new research has shed light on a new factor that is necessary to shed pounds: timing. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), in collaboration with the University of Murcia and Tufts University, have found that it's not simply what you eat, but also when you eat, that may help with weight-loss regulation. The study will be published on January 29, 2013 in the International Journal of Obesity. "This is the first large-scale prospective study ...

Debunking the 'July effect': Surgery date has little impact on outcome, Mayo Clinic finds

2013-01-29

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- The "July Effect" -- the notion that the influx of new residents and fellows at teaching hospitals each July makes that the worse time of year to be a patient -- seems to be a myth, according to new Mayo Clinic research that examined nearly 1 million hospitalizations for patients undergoing spine surgery from 2001 to 2008. Among those going under the knife, researchers discovered that the month surgery occurred had an insignificant impact on patient outcomes. In addition, no substantial "July Effect" was observed in higher-risk patients, those admitted ...

Physicians' brain scans indicate doctors can feel their patients' pain -- and their relief

2013-01-29

BOSTON – A patient's relationship with his or her doctor has long been considered an important component of healing. Now, in a novel investigation in which physicians underwent brain scans while they believed they were actually treating patients, researchers have provided the first scientific evidence indicating that doctors truly can feel their patients' pain – and can also experience their relief following treatment. Led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Program in Placebo Studies and Therapeutic Encounter (PiPS) at Beth Israel Deaconess ...
