Any company handling hazardous substances in New Jersey must be aware that while the state was recently unsuccessful in expanding liability for damages under the Spill Act, the Supreme Court clarified what constitutes a "discharge" under the Spill Act, which could create unforeseen liability.
On September 26, 2012, the New Jersey Supreme Court in New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection v. Dimant (Docket No. 067993) decided the level of proofs required to establish a causal nexus between a discharge and damaged natural resources in order to impose liability for damages and cleanup and removal costs under the Spill Compensation and Control Act, N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11a et seq. (the "Spill Act") against a party that has caused a discharge of hazardous substances.
The Court ruled that a plaintiff, including the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the "NJDEP"), seeking damages under the Spill Act must show by a preponderance of the evidence that a discharge occurred and that the discharge is "reasonably linked" to the environmental damage at issue, such as groundwater contamination.
The Court clarified what constitutes a "discharge" under the Spill Act. A spill of a hazardous substance onto the lands of the state, such as onto asphalt "under which there was no structure to contain it," constitutes a discharge. Further, in-state spills do not require resultant damages while spills that occur outside the state must result in damages inside the state. While the clarification of "discharge" was not the focus of the decision, it is important to note that such a broad interpretation of "discharge" could create unforeseen liability for companies handling hazardous substances because to obtain injunctive relief, the state need only establish by a preponderance of the evidence the existence of a discharge; there is no de minimis discharge exception or requirement to prove actual damages.
When seeking damages, as opposed to injunctive relief, under the Spill Act, the analysis does not end with finding a discharge, but instead proceeds to the nexus between the discharge and the contamination for which the damages are sought. The Court rejected the NJDEP's argument that the Court should adopt the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act's ("CERCLA") "some connection" nexus standard because the legislative history and language of the Spill Act are silent on that language. The Court also declined to impose the common law "proximate cause" nexus standard proposed by others involved in the case.
While the Court explained that a plaintiff must prove a "reasonable link" between the discharge and the charged environmental damage "in some real, not hypothetical" way, "neither the Spill Act nor its corresponding legislative history definitively address the level of causation needed to impose liability on a discharger." The Court did provide some guidance as to how the state could have met its burden under the reasonable link nexus standard. Referring to cases cited by amici in the case, the Court commented that some evidence of a plausible migration pathway by which the contaminants could have traveled from the defendant's site to the area at issue "might have made for a different result in this matter."
Importantly, the Court made it clear that this "reasonable link" nexus standard only applies to the recovery of damages and other costs provided under the Spill Act, not injunctive relief. As the Court recognized, based on its review of the Spill Act's legislative history, "all liability under the Spill Act is not tied to some static causation nexus." In applying this standard to the trial court's findings of fact, the Court affirmed both the trial and appellate courts' conclusions that the NJDEP's proofs at trial were insufficient to impose liability for damages and those costs available under the Spill Act.

University holds on for 60-58 tourney victory
The University boys basketball team erased a double-digit first-half deficit and survived a late scare to defeat Palm Springs, 60-58, in an opening round game of the Irvine World News Gary Raya Classic at University High Tuesday evening.
Joey Sfreddo and Justin Wu each scored 14 points a piece as the Trojans evened its record at 3-3 on the season. Sfreddo drilled three 3-pointers.
University coach Mike Dinneen said his team has things to work on but it's a good win.
"We were able to get stops at the end and we held on and got the win," said Dinneen. "We didn't have the tempo we want and we didn't push the ball the way we need to but we're going to get better."
Nikhil Rao made one of two free throws to give the Trojans a 58-48 lead with 2:51 to play and University appeared to have the game secured.
However, the Indians battled back and made it interesting.
Palm Springs (2-1) went on an 8-0run and cut the lead to 58-56after Ricky Wright converted 2-of-3 free throws with 19 seconds left. The Indians fouled Sfreddo and he made one of two free throws to increase the Trojans' lead to 59-56.
Riley Hagar's basket with eight seconds remaining trimmed the lead to 59-58. Rao made the second of two free throws to give University a 60-58 lead.
The Indians quickly got the ball down the ourt and Wright's 3-point attempt from the corner bounced of the rim at the buzzer and the Trojans held on t win.
"We stayed clam, got stops and made some key buckets," said Sfreddo. "We have to pick up our offense. It's key for us to push the ball on the fast break and create open shots. "
"We showed that we can play with intensity and that we can compete with anyone," said Wu. "But we need to take care of the ball better and start hitting our 3's."
Kiron Dey scored 10 points for the Trojans but fouled out with 4:06 to play. Keisho Awamoto and Jake Terpening also each added six points for University.
Hagar led all scorers with 17 points.
The Trojans had a dreadful start to the start of the game as they missed fired or committed turnovers on each of its first 15 possessions.
Sfreddo finally canned a 3 with 55 seconds left in the opening quarter to get University on the board. The Trojans trailed, 13-3, after eight minute of play. However, University rallied to tie the game at, 21-21, following a pair of free throws by Terpening but the Indians nailed a 3 down the stretch to take a, 24-23, halftime lead.

If I do a ping to 126.96.36.199, I get timeout errors. But if I ping OpenDNS or the Level3 DNS servers, all is OK. I liked the Comcast DNS server because it is faster when it works but the timeout errors will cause my browsing to slow-down. What is going on with the 126.96.36.199 DNS server?
Solved! Go to solution
FWIW, the default Comcast DNS servers are deliberately configured to de-prioritize / rate limit ICMP packet based ping probes, so pinging them is not a good method to use to gauge their performance.
For me, 188.8.131.52 was doing the same behavior as all-75's.
So, if ping is not a good measure, what is?

Beer, cheese and sausage have defined Milwaukee's reputation for as long as anyone can remember. But according to a new study, it turns out that food and beverage companies also account for a heaping portion of the metro region's economy.
Southeastern Wisconsin offers a veritable economic smorgasbord: 253 food and beverage companies that employ 14,700 workers and generate a collective annual payroll of $590 million. All told, food processing accounts for 9% of the metro region's manufacturing base, according to a report to be released Wednesday at a meeting of the Milwaukee 7 economic-strategy consortium.
From Nestle SA of Switzerland to Kraft Foods and Cargill Inc., seven of the world's top 11 food processors have operations in the region.
No one previously bothered to investigate the economic impact of the sector until the M-7 carried out the study with Deloitte Consulting LLC. Such inattention might seem strange in a dairy-and-agricultural region of self-proclaimed cheeseheads.
What they've missed is that the area has all the ingredients of a full-blown industrial cluster - one with enough critical mass to recruit additional jobs and possibly offset some of the erosion in other parts of the state's manufacturing base, the M-7 concluded.
"It's not like food is going away," said Shelley Jurewicz, the M-7 researcher who wrote the report. "People have to eat."
The M-7 also found cause for indigestion. Sioux City, Iowa, Omaha, Neb., and Fresno, Calif., have been marketing their food-processing sectors aggressively for years, making metro Milwaukee a latecomer to gastronomic economics, Jurewicz said.
The M-7 itself is little more than 5 years old and was created to play catch-up in the global game of business attraction. Its own leaders concede that the region has sat passively on the sidelines for years while rival regions from Boston to Beijing systematically have identified, honed and touted their respective competitive advantages.
As the M-7 gradually gained traction, it focused on more familiar sectors such as water technology, batteries and advanced manufacturing. Food processing would add a new dimension, although Jurewicz made clear that the M-7 is still digesting its findings.
The next step, she said, is to draw up a marketing strategy that differentiates Milwaukee from other areas that vie for new food sector investment. So far, most of the brainstorming centers on an effort to marry the region's food processors with one of the fastest growing trends in eating: foods that are organic, fresh and locally grown - what the M-7 calls the "good food movement."
"That would be our sweet spot," she said. "I haven't seen those two groups come together in other regions around the country."
Among U.S. states, Wisconsin ranks second behind California for the number of producers of certified organic food and sixth for locally grown food, according to M-7 findings.
For now, however, the M-7 is savoring what the region already brings to the table.
Wisconsin ranks as the No. 1 producer of beans, cheese, cranberries and ginseng. It's the No. 2 producer of butter, milk and milk cows; No. 3 in carrots, potatoes, peas and sweet corn; and No. 4 overall in food processing.
Wisconsin also ranks No. 7 in the number of patents related to food products and processing.
The breadth of industries should also work in the region's favor, the study found.
The menu of players cuts a broad and diverse swath of the local economy, encompassing meat products from Cargill, beer from MillerCoors and cocoa from Archer Daniels Midland Co.
Milwaukee-based Sensient Technologies Corp. makes food colors, flavors and fragrances with operations around the globe. Milwaukee is the North American headquarters for Chr. Hansen AS, a Danish bioscience company that supplies enzymes for yogurts, meats and sausages. Japan's Kikkoman has its North American headquarters in Walworth, where it produces 33 million gallons of soy sauce a year.
"When you peel back the layers, you find a lot of strength in the workforce and in R&D," Jurewicz said.

Pay Attention! To safety
How to eliminate boredom in safety training
Boredom may not appear to be a significant obstacle to a safe workplace, but the problem is that boredom usually translates into poor retention and learning. Workers who are bored by the safety training programs don't learn as well as those who find their training programs interesting and exciting. Failure to retain safety education material can make all the difference on the shop floor or out at the job site.
Those who conduct environmental, health, and safety training for welders and others in welding-related jobs face many challenges in delivering it effectively. Coordinating conflicting schedules, finding quality training materials, and making sure everyone is trained on time are all genuine obstacles to achieving training objectives. Yet one of the most common obstacles to effective safety training is one that many trainers often overlook—boredom.
The truth is that safety training sessions bore many workers. The result of this boredom is that workers fail to retain important safety information. This fact was confirmed in an October 2003 marketing survey of 150 safety professionals across a variety of industries that examined major safety training issues. An earlier version of the survey conducted in 2001 found similar results.
The 2003 survey was conducted over a two-week period. Safety managers from various industries were selected at random from phone lists. Among the topics investigated were the purpose of safety training, trends in training budgets, employee attitudes toward safety training, technology used in safety training, and obstacles to effective safety training.
The results of the survey were insightful in many ways. However, the question dealing with obstacles to effective safety training again provided revealing answers.
What obstacles do you face in conducting effective training?
|2003 Survey Results
2001 Survey Results
Further, safety trainers and managers also were asked to assess workers' attitudes about safety training. Over half said that most workers are bored by the current training formats and programs. In fact, 51 percent said that maintaining worker attention remained the most significant obstacle for effective training overall.
At first boredom may not appear to be a significant obstacle to a safe workplace. Not everything in life can be exciting and fun. Yet the problem is that boredom usually translates to poor retention and learning. Workers who are bored by safety training programs don't learn as well as those who find their training programs interesting and exciting. Failure to retain safety education material can make all the difference on the shop floor or out at the site.
Boredom as a Training Obstacle
Why do many employees find safety training boring? Several contributing factors can be cited.
- Many safety program topics are repetitive. Workers often hear the same presentation many times a year concerning a particular safety issue.
- Workers sometimes don't appreciate the importance of safety training. Many younger workers adopt an attitude that nothing bad can happen to them. Safety training sessions become dull because these workers believe that the material presented is unimportant to their daily tasks and job functions. Basically, workers tune out the safety message, believing themselves somewhat invincible to injury.
- Most of the safety training programs and presentations used, while technically accurate, are anything but entertaining. Videos, CD-ROMS, and other forms of safety training that feature less than captivating images, nondynamic graphics, and dry background music won't grab or hold a worker's attention.
Many safety programs are narrated by a safety expert who merely drones on and on about safe work practices. While the information presented may be completely accurate, the manner of the presentation leaves something to be desired in terms of maintaining interest.
The goal of any safety training effort is to increase awareness of potential risks and hazards and to teach best safety practices to the workers who face these risks on a daily basis. A solid safety training program ultimately will save money and lives as incidents and injuries decrease. Companies experience lower associated costs, higher employee morale, and fewer accident-related absences by using effective safety programs. Therefore, if addressing boredom can lead to better safety training, companies should consider it an investment in lower costs, better worker retention, and long-term profitability.
Many methods are available to eliminate or reduce boredom with safety training. Safety training can incorporate accurate, high-quality programs that also are exciting and entertaining. Technically accurate program content delivered in an entertaining style is a winning combination. Workers not only pay attention to such programs, but also better retain what they learn. Repeatedly using fun but educational safety training programs even may cause workers to look forward to safety training sessions.
Adult learning theory demonstrates that features such as music, humor, and live-action footage all hold the attention of the worker viewing the program. Upbeat, recognizable music; footage from real work sites; dynamic imagery and graphics; and even humor all can increase the effectiveness of a safety training program. Closer attention to the program usually means better retention of the material presented.
Another key solution to boredom is to make sure that the presenter's attitude is upbeat and enthusiastic. A safety manager should make sure that workers understand the importance of safety training. The packaging and delivery of essential and relevant safety information make or break the effectiveness of the overall safety education initiative.
Additionally, once workers begin to realize that safety training presentations won't be boring, their overall attitude toward the sessions changes as well. Workers begin to look forward to attending the safety sessions instead of viewing them as a potential nap time.
Pairing Importance With Enthusiasm
Safety professionals should try to address employee boredom with engaging safety training. The best way to do this in safety sessions is to state the importance of the training enthusiastically while using programs and materials that creatively grab and hold workers' attention.
An interested audience is more likely to learn and retain whatever is being presented. This holds true for safety training.
When workers fail to pay attention in safety sessions, they're more likely to experience injury and incidents that result in needless human suffering and financial cost. Effective safety training therefore not only depends on accurate content and up-to-date regulatory information, but also on an engaging and attention-getting presentation. Effective safety training makes every effort to combine the best of both worlds.

My nemesis J.C. Huchinsssssss has delivered a bomb against the evil that is me. He made a ring tone out of the O Fortuna song I sang for the NOCTURNAL unboxing video. And yes, I use the term "sang" loosely, so STFU.
If you don't know the song, it is in every devil movie ever made. The song makes grown men poo themselves in fear. That's why it is so rad. You pooing yourself because of a tune? That's rad and you know it, so stop denying that it's wicked-rad.
Mr. Smart Ass Hutchins made a ring tone as "a present to the junkies." What that really means is this is the audio equivalent of me texting nekked pics of me to chicks and/or dudes, and Hutchins wants the Internet to slanderimize me. So in order to control the message before the message controls me (hear that, Anthony Weiner?), I'm just going to link to these bitches right here.
Screw you, Hutchinsssssss.

New Standardized Ithaca College Address Format
Contributed by Karen Serbonich on 08/26/2008
Over the past few years Mail Services has recognized the need to create a "standardized" method or format to be utilized when sending mail to our campus. One of the primary reasons for doing this is that more and more companies are starting to use third-party software to "validate" addresses before sending on to the United States Postal Service (USPS), which helps cut down on postage expense for the respective organization.

The fertile, rich polyphony of the Missa Dum Sacrum mysterium and the 19-part O bone Jesu has a flavour of its own. Unlike Byrd or Tallis, Carver doesn't go for sustained, ecstatic flight; the ear focuses more on telling details or subtle changes in sonority. That can give the music a stop-start effect in performance. Not here, though: these new versions have a momentum and expressive conviction that isn't matched by any other recordings I've heard. Each piece or movement is a live, evolving experience, with a natural climax. Just how "correct" the approach is I am in no position to say, but the conviction carried me along, and The Sixteen's clarity and technical security add to the sheer sensuous pleasure - as does the warm, spacious recorded sound.
With the two Carver works come two extras: the plainchant on which the Mass is based, and an anonymous Magnificat - not as distinctive as genuine Carver, perhaps, but further proof that musical life at the Chapel Royal of James IV was healthy and distinctive.

Hispanics in the entertainment industry have come a long way since the days we were subjected to playing bit parts that were pretty insignificant. Today, Latino actors can be anything they want to be, yet some view stereotypical roles as wrong since we, as a collective, have fought against having to play those roles.

Hi folks...how are ya?
Hey I planted a Buddleaiaosn something or other. Sorry but it's like
budleai...hmmm, well anyway common name butterfly bush. It's about
10' high now and 4' across. It has hundreds of beautiful purple
spikes of flowers. I frankly forgot that it was called the butterfly
bush until my lovely wife Linda called me at one of the markets and
told me that this bush is being completely invaded by Monarch
butterflies. When I got home she was right there must be a hundred or
so of the little guys all swarming all over this plant. Love it!
However, I was talking to an MG today about Hibs and I mentioned the
butterflies and she seems to think they are Pink Ladies and not
Monarchs. I had noticed that these seem smaller than Monarchs but the
coloring is awfully close. Apparently Pink Ladies appear before
Monarchs? In either case they're neat!

Koevermans makes PSV exit
Birmingham have missed out on signing Danny Koevermans after the striker departed PSV for Toronto FC.
By Gerrit van Leeuwen
Last Updated: 30/06/11 10:27am
Birmingham have missed out on signing Danny Koevermans after the striker departed PSV Eindhoven for Major League Soccer side Toronto FC.
The 32-year-old, whose PSV deal expired this summer, had been heavily linked with a move to St Andrew's after stating his desire for a foreign adventure.
However, the departure of manager Alex McLeish was understood to have given Koevermans second thoughts over the English switch.
And the Dutchman, capped four times for Holland, has now penned a two-year deal with Toronto.
He told Sportpromotion: "I am very happy with this transfer. It was really great how the club welcomed me.
"I hope I can have a major contribution to the club this season."
The move marks Koevermans' first stint with a foreign club having previously spent time at Sparta Rotterdam and AZ Alkmaar before joining PSV in 2007.
Dutchman and former Ajax, Lazio and Inter Milan midfielder Aron Winter is technical director at the Canadian club.

5.0 stars 10 totalReview Corey Rabin
Posted by Richard
Corey Rabin's firm did highly sophisticated real estate work for me and his work was excellent in all respects. In particular, his business acumen and ideas to help me best position my real estate concerns were invaluable. Corey has an uncanny ability to put things in perspective in a way that was particularly valuable to me, which helped me to make the appropriate decisions based on a balanced evaluation of the risks and benefits. I have the highest possible regard for Corey's abilities as a trusted lawyer and an astute advisor.
Posted by anonymous
I just lost my cousin suddenly, and i was named Alternate Executor and was not given the will or documents. Mr. Rabin, while he was on vacation spoke to me three times, and always gave the advice and the clarity i needed, He referred me to an out of state attorney who could help me with my situation and this brought resolution to my situation . Mr. Rabin is the type of attorney who really is looking to help people and knows the law. He is the real deal; his compassion and sensitivity to help me with this complex situation over my cousin's will, while i was grieving only speaks to his professionalism. I would refer him to family and friends and would hire him in a heart beat. He is a true Attorney, looking to help people in need.
Posted by Joyce
Mr. Rabin is the "BEST" I have known Corey for 15 years, legal issues he handled for me include probate, realestate closing, estate planning, He is very knowledgeable and compassionate, when I have a legal issue
my first call is to Corey Rabin.
Posted by Kathleen
Corey Rabin is the most professional attorney I have ever met. He responded to my request within 24hrs. He contacts me immediately when he has questions and I need answers. He shows compassion and understanding of the problem which is not common in today's legal world. Corey has a deep concern to help me find a solution to my issue. Corey is a pleasure to work with, and if I have more legal matters in my future Corey Rabin will be number one on my contact list.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to praise Corey Rabin.

Posted by Betty
After several devastating experiences with incompetent, or worse, lawywers, it was a great relief to find a brilliant, honest and resourceful lawyer who quickly resolved some highly stressful real estate, estate and familly conflicts. His office is staffed by diversely specialized lawers; helpfulness and high morale are apparant.

Flower Girl Princess
This is the most unprofessional online store I have ever ordered from. They do not answer calls or emails. I ordered my daughters first communion dress 3 weeks ago and it hasn't even shipped. Her communion is this weekend and we have no dress. There is no way to cancel the flipping order. We are left scrambling to find a dress and veil. They suck.

If you're past the marriage counselor recommendation, then you need to gather your evidence as to marital assets and debts. Both parties have a right to equal access to financial marital information such as bank accounts, tax returns, history and evidence of major purchases (usually defined as being a purchase of an item for over $500.00 if you live in an affluent area, or over $100.00 otherwise): do NOT engage in 'information hiding'- this is reprehensible and simply ends up costing each of you more money in litigation fees. Take a copy of all important documents, and leave them with a friend, but do not do anything to the originals. Depending on the length of the marriage, you may end up with a large copying bill: that's something that you have to budget for, because most banks, creditcard issuers, etc. don't keep records going back more than five-to-seven years at most, and they will charge you for the privilege of getting their copies- for example, four years' worth of copies of bank statements recently cost a client $500.00 from the bank. Take your originals to one of the local copy-shops, and at $0.08 per page, it's a bargain.
What to copy? Bank statements; creditcard statements which show 'big ticket' items; evidence of purchase of big-ticket items; evidence of gifts from persons other than your spouse; correspondence from lawyers, accountants, and others who have been involved in your family's financial affairs, prior year's tax returns going back to the year prior to your marriage- all of these (if they've been important enough for you to keep) should be copied. Then return the originals so that your spouse has access to them. If can you afford it, get a pdf copy made so that you have that 'just in case'. Keep your copies with a friend just so your spouse doesn't do something foolish like trash all of the documents which show your separate property: remember, all property is presumed marital in Virginia, so it's up to you to prove that something was/is your separate property.
Try to figure out what is fair in terms of the division of marital assets: many people in Virginia are shocked when they find out that, even though they've kept separately-titled bank accounts, if they have been depositing post-marital earnings into such an account, the nature of that account has changed from "separate" to "mixed" simply because of having said "I do": the source of funds (your employment) is the same; the account is the same; and the amount of the deposits are the same as before you said those important words, BUT the difference in the eyes of the law is that you have said those words, and now you are a married person, with a legal and moral duty to support one's spouse as far back in Virginia's history as there have been records.
Division of a two-income household is often no more simple than division of a one-income household into two separate dwellings: this is NOT the time to get greedy, because (again) it will simply run up attorney's fees for both of you.
BUT you can save money by sitting down and figuring out what are marital assets and debts, and how to fairly divide them. You can create a written agreement known as an "MPSA" (Marital Property, Separation, (and if applicable) Child Custody/Visitation Agreement") but please do not presume that what is available out there on line is going to meet your particular needs. Also, no matter how well educated you are, how gifted with writing skills, there is not at present a quality on-line MPSA form available of which I am aware (if there is, please do direct me to it, because I'm all about trying to save money). IF you and your spouse can agree on the 'big' issues, then take that list of agreements to an attorney of your choice.
SHOP AROUND- don't presume that all attorneys charge the same for the creation of the "MPSA" : also don't presume that just because you can't agree on everything, that that is bad: go ahead and get down in writing what you CAN agree to, and then you can litigate the remaining issue(s).
The divorce issues that you need to determine if you and your spouse can settle upon are:
1) division of marital assets (physical things like dishes and furniture)
2) division of marital funds (bank accounts, savings accounts, Certificates of Deposit, stocks and bonds, etc)
3) division of marital debt (both secured AND unsecured)
4) division of future assets such as retirement funds, pensions, annuities, etc.
5) (If there are children) Children's Legal Custody and Physical Custody.
6) (If there are children) Child support (which is dependent upon the last issue)
7) Spousal support.
There is NO hard-and-fast rule in Virginia as to division of marital assets, except that our divorce Court (known as the Circuit Court where you live) is ordered to practice "equity"- this comes down to a 'fairness' analysis based on a number of statutory factors which are contained in Section 20-107.3 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended. These statutory factors focus on the contributions (both positive and negative- yes, anyone else would call them 'detrimental behaviors' but...) each party has made to the marriage, its assets, its debts, and the day-to-day joys and burdens of living. These 'contributions' can be both financial and practical, and there is NO ONE FACTOR which a Court must look at to determine whether there has been one spouse working harder in the marriage to keep it alive and functional.
There is also no hard-and-fast rule in Virginia as to spousal support (this is NOT the same as spousal support which may be awarded during litigation once suit is filed and before the actual trial): an award of spousal support must also be based on statutory criteria, this time contained in Section 20-107.1 of the 1950 Code of Virginia. (You can find both of these statutes at www.leg1.state.va.us).There is in some counties a special mathematical calculation for pendente lite ("pen-den-tay lee-tay") (literally, 'during the litigation') spousal support, so you will want to find out if you live in a county which follows the 'Fairfax rule' or the "9th Circuit" rule, etc. But this is NOT the rule for post-divorce spousal support. There is also no guarantee that a spouse will receive life-time spousal support, no matter how long one has been married: the statutory factors are what must be followed by the Court in crafting an equitable award of spousal support.
Children's custody, support and visitation MAY be determined as a part of a divorce action, but Virginia is unusual in having two courts which can determine children's custody, visitation and support, and the second court is known as the "Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court". This Court has primary jurisdiction (the power to make legal determinations) over issues regarding children, but that primary jurisdiction may be subject to being 'overridden' by an action pending in Circuit Court for divorce which includes child custody, visitation and support issues as long as there is a pending hearing in the Circuit Court. Yes, it is confusing- even lawyers get it wrong, so don't be surprised if you think this is a complex system. There is nothing wrong in having the custody/visitation/child support issues decided by the Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court, and often such a division of issues between two courts helps the level of antagonism to decrease in one or the other. The biggest issue with managing the custody/visitation and child support issues in Juvenile Court is that, after that Court has made its decision, each party has an automatic right to file an 'appeal' to the Circuit Court and then retry the entire case all over again as though the Juvenile Court's trial had never happened. This is known as the right to a trial "de novo" ("day noh voh") and it means sometimes that the spouse who has more money to pay for the second-go-round can basically use the Juvenile Court hearing as a 'dress rehearsal' and then have a potentially different outcome at the Circuit Court level. Another issue with trying custody at the Juvenile Court level (which is often referred to as the 'lower' court) is that they cannot have three-day trials as one can request in Circuit Court: quite often, a custody trial is limited to a few hours, or at most one day , at the Juvenile Court level, and if you have a large number of witnesses, or a highly complex history in the case, you must choose to limit which witnesses you call in Juvenile Court.
Just as one would not attempt brain surgery on oneself, it is a foolish man (as Abraham Lincoln said) who represents himself as counsel. Using a Virginia-licensed attprney to create your Marital and Property Settlement Agreement is simply good sense: there's a reason that we have to go through three years of law school, because (with all due respect to astrophysicists) this is like rocket-science, as it is a highly complex field for which you need a knowledgeable and steady guide to get you through the potential 'minefield' of issues.
One further point- if you are planning to proceed on a 'scorched earth' type of divorce, you're likely to end up losing if your spouse hires competent counsel. Save the anger for a therapist's couch, close this chapter of your life, and start the next one without exhausting the family fortunes because you think the Court will punish your spouse: it won't except in the most unusual of circumstances.

Improving Disposition Outcomes for Patients in a Geriatric Skilled Nursing Facility
Meeting Presentation: American Medical Directors Association, March 2011.
Address correspondence to Randi Berkowitz, 1200 Centre Street, Roslindale, MA 02131. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate an intervention to improve discharge disposition from a skilled nursing unit (SNU).
DESIGN: Historical control comparison of discharge disposition before and after implementation.
SETTING: Fifty-bed SNU.
PARTICIPANTS: All patients admitted from acute care hospitals to a SNU between June 2008 and May 2010.
INTERVENTION: Physician admission procedures were standardized using a template, patients with three or more hospital admissions over the prior 6 months received palliative care consultations, and multidisciplinary root-cause analysis conferences for patients transferred back to the hospital acutely were conducted bimonthly to identify problems and improve processes of care.
MEASUREMENTS: Patients' discharge disposition (i.e., acute care, long-term care, home, or death) before and after implementation were compared.
RESULTS: Discharge dispositions were determined for all 1,725 patients admitted during the study; 862 patients before (June–May 2008) and 863 during (June 2009–May 2010) the intervention. Discharge dispositions were significantly differently distributed across the two periods (P=.03). Readmission to acute care declined (from 16.5% to 13.3%, a nearly 20% decline). Multivariable logistic regression, controlling for age, sex, and case-mix index and adjusting for clustering due to repeated admissions of individual patients, suggests that, during the intervention period, patients were more likely than during the baseline period to die on the unit in accordance with their wishes than to be transferred out to the hospital (odds ratio=2.45, 95% confidence interval=1.09–5.5).
CONCLUSION: Interventions such as the ones implemented can lead to fewer hospital transfers for SNUs.

There is a growing dichotomy between what designers put on the runway and what women put on their backs. The spring shows were filled with sheer dresses, bare shoulders, revealing cutouts and knits so thin they concealed nothing of the model's anatomy. And those were the day clothes.
How many women would dress like that for work, for lunch, for a meeting with their children's teachers, or for any ordinary daytime activity that requires more than a sweatshirt and jeans? Women in certain fields, fashion among them, can wear just about anything they please, and are in fact expected to be on the cutting edge. Not so the vast majority of women, whether they toil in the home or out in the world. Even women who are top fashion executives are more likely to be seen in a well-tailored suit than in a sheer dress.
With the example reported in Newsweek last week, that Monica Lewinsky was sent home from her White House job to change out of a low-cut dress, who would want to risk being labeled a bimbo?
As spring clothes start to trickle into the stores this month, the fashion-conscious shopper will find herself faced with challenging choices. Those pale chiffon dresses and sequin-strewn camisoles look mighty pretty. They could, of course, be sheltered under a jacket, as many designers suggested. Or they could be saved for evenings out, when a woman wants to look feminine and romantic.Continue reading the main story
A woman could also indulge a taste for romance with a pleated skirt and a sweater in a flattering shade of pink or blue. Or she could opt for a new-looking suit with a jacket cut to accentuate a womanly silhouette. There are ways to look feminine without frills, and without looking suggestive.
And there are designers who hedged their bets, spotlighting ethereal chiffons and georgettes on the runway and relegating tailored clothes to their showrooms, where only store buyers would see them.
''It's a season of transition,'' said Kal Ruttenstein, Bloomingdale's senior vice president for fashion direction. ''There's much less interest in minimalism and more interest in slight embellishment. Day clothes, although simple, have unusual cuts or details. Although length is no longer an issue, the eye is getting used to longer lengths, from top of the knee to below the knee and longer.''
Although he said he believes the suit will continue to be strong, Mr. Ruttenstein expects many women to eliminate the jacket as an everyday essential. ''The simplicity of a shirt and skirt or a sweater and skirt in good quality will carry a woman through the day,'' he said. ''It should be a strong season for skirts, especially skirts with pleats and fuller skirts.''
Helmut Lang, Marc Jacobs and Donna Karan all showed pleated skirts, and Calvin Klein showed skirts with an airy fullness. But those designers and others also showed pants, mainly cut on the straight and narrow. There were also pants chopped off at Capri or clam-digger length, and they weren't all intended for the beach, although most women are likely to reserve them for casual days. It's hard to imagine a businesswoman wearing cutoff pants to a meeting.
''A jacket with cropped pants is a new take on the suit for spring,'' said Joan Kaner, a vice president and the fashion director of Neiman Marcus. ''Capris are already selling for resort, so we know women are trying them. I also think people will embrace Calvin Klein's shirt and pants in matching fabric. It's the next step to the sweater and skirt women were wearing for fall.''
Ms. Kaner also admired the unmatched suit, as Karl Lagerfeld showed it for Chanel. ''He showed a traditional tweed jacket in a newer, younger way with black pants,'' she said. ''It's a suit with a sportswear feel.''
Bergdorf Goodman's buyers found plenty of clothes that can brave the light of day. The store's new fashion choices for spring include a pants suit by Gucci, skirts with matching tops by Narciso Rodriguez and Mr. Jacobs, and a simple shirtdress in a shiny fabric that could also go out at night.
''It's all about gray,'' said Lillian Wang, a fashion director at Bergdorf's. ''Gray is a substitute for black. It looks good in a corporate environment, and it's always chic. I'd love to see a businesswoman in something like the sharply tailored Gucci pants suit.''
As tailored as it is, the Gucci suit is cut to curve in over the waist. The shopper at Barneys New York will find similarly tailored suits that are less androgynous and more feminine than last fall's versions. One of the best is by Mr. Rodriguez, whose first collection under his own name is going into stores now. It looks like a winner.
Barneys has dealt with the plethora of sheer dresses by having them lined for wearability and showing them with cardigan sweaters or jackets.
''Everything has been affected by sheerness and romanticism,'' said Bonnie Pressman, the store's executive vice president and fashion director. ''What's interesting is the multilayering of sheer pieces so they can be worn for any occasion. We've seen an increase in the sale of cardigans to cover them and yet keep the softness.''
There are also leather and suede jackets to go over fluttery fabrics for a combination of tailored and soft. There are versions by Ann Demeulemeester in the designer area and less costly leather jackets in the Barneys New York Collection. And Ms. Pressman suggested trying a chiffon camisole or shell under a tailored suit for a different look that incorporates the newness of sheer in a way that won't shock anyone.
And then there's the matter of sequins for day, which is an idea from the runways that many magazines have endorsed. Somehow it seems more likely that a woman who has been a minimalist may opt for a sprinkling of sequins on an evening dress rather than go all the way into sparkly decoration for day. Or she may prefer her embellishment in the form of discreet embroidery.
If women reject the extremes of fashion yet again, as they have in recent years, the markdown racks of spring clothes may exceed those of the fall clothes now cluttering the aisles of even the best stores. Then the question will be, ''How long will it take designers to get it?''
The truth is out there.Continue reading the main story
