Although many couples find that divorce is a favorable solution to end ongoing marital troubles, some also experience that the separation produces ongoing conflict between ex-partners. A recent study--highlighted in a new article from Counsel & Heal--notes that this stress could be in part due to shared child custody situations. Kansas State University's Mindy Markham led the study and found that, "Nearly half of the mothers in this study continue to have conflicted relationships with their ex-partners, and conversations with these women negate the notion that ...

According to a recent article from The Huffington Post, NASA is anticipating the Mars landing of the new rover, named Curiosity, on August 5, 2012. This rover is particularly significant due to the fact that it is much larger than previous devices; its size is described to be approximately the same as a Mini Cooper. Not only does Curiosity's size implicate a stronger research tool, but one that will be able to cover more ground and explore the planet's possible ability to sustain life. As the team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, anxiously oversees ...

Until recently, a divorced spouse in Massachusetts could set up a new household with a significant other and continue to collect alimony as long as he or she did not remarry. The paying spouse had little recourse until the Alimony Reform Act took effect. Starting March 1, 2012, the Alimony Reform Act fundamentally changed Massachusetts divorce law. Among the changes, the law now allows parties that are paying alimony to seek a modification or termination of payments after their former spouse moves in with a significant other. New Rules for Alimony and Cohabitation This ...

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19, 2012 — New evidence reveals the possibility of mood-enhancing effects associated with some flavors, stemming at least in part from natural ingredients bearing a striking chemical similarity to valproic acid, a widely used prescription mood-stabilizing drug, scientists reported here today. This effect joins those previously reported for chocolate, teas and some other known comfort foods. They presented the study of more than 1,700 substances that make up the flavors of common foods at the 244th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical ...

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19, 2012 — Drug counterfeiting is so common in some developing countries that patients with serious diseases in Southeast Asia and elsewhere are at risk of getting a poor-quality drug instead of one with ingredients that really treat their illness, a scientist involved in combating the problem said here today.

Fernández, Ph.D., described how his team has developed technology that reduces the time needed to check a ...

19 August 2012: Consumers face a barrage of product claims each day. These claims create consumer expectation of safety and product performance and, assuming they are accurate, facilitate well informed choice. But increased scrutiny of claims, especially where the claim involves potential health outcomes, means that claim substantiation and the science behind it are more important than ever. Scientists told the audience here today at the 244th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Philadelphia that greater collaboration is needed to ...

Frech and co-author Sarah Damaske of Pennsylvania State University examined longitudinal data from 2,540 women who became mothers between 1978 and 1995. Accounting for pre-pregnancy employment, ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Married couples who undergo long-term separations appear to be those who can't afford to divorce, a new nationwide study suggests. Researchers found that about 80 percent of all respondents who went through a marital separation ultimately divorced, most within three years. About 5 percent attempted to reconcile. But 15 percent of separations didn't lead to divorce or reconciliation within 10 years. Couples in these long-term separations tended to be racial and ethnic minorities, have low family income and education, and have young children. "Long-term ...

DENVER — Young adults from middle income families are more likely to rack up student loan debt—and in greater amounts—than students from both lower and higher income backgrounds, finds new research to be presented at the 107th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association. "Many middle income families make too much money for their children to qualify for student aid packages," said study author Jason N. Houle, a Robert Wood Johnson Health and Society Scholar at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "While at the same time, they may not have the financial means ...

"In one or two weeks, some refugees find themselves going from a place like a Burundian refugee camp to a Midwestern city like Dayton," said sociology professor Theo Majka. "The journey from a rural environment in a developing country to a ...

DENVER — American megachurches use stagecraft, sensory pageantry, charismatic leadership and an upbeat, unchallenging vision of Christianity to provide their congregants with a powerful emotional religious experience, according to research from the University of Washington. "Membership in megachurches is one of the leading ways American Christians worship these days, so, therefore, these churches should be understood," said James Wellman, associate professor of American religion at the University of Washington. "Our study shows that -- contrary to public opinion that ...
