Every year, children die of hyperthermia, also known as heat stroke, while unattended in vehicles. The number of near-misses – children rescued before a fatality – is significantly higher. Hot cars put children's and pets lives at risk!
Even on a seemingly mild day, temperatures inside a car can rise nearly 20 degrees in 10 minutes, and leaving a window slightly open has no effect. These conditions are especially dangerous for children, whose bodies heat up three to five times faster than an adult's. Heat stroke happens when the body cannot cool itself fast enough and the core temperature rises to dangerous levels.
"Kids react differently to heat than adults," says Dr. Leticia Ryan of Children's National Medical Center, Emergency Medicine and Trauma Services. "Infants and young children haven't fully developed the internal systems regulating body temperature, putting them at much greater risk for organ failure and death when exposed to excessive heat. We see this all too often in the emergency room, and it's absolutely devastating."
Heat Scale: You may not want to believe it, but the outside temperature can be as low as 70°F for tragedy to strike. In half an hour, the car will reach 99°F. In one hour, it will reach 117°F. At 95°F, the temperature in the car hits 107°F in five minutes and 142°F in an hour. No pet or person could survive this.
Temperatures can quickly reach up to 200°F in a car.
Hot cars can kill... never leave a child or pet alone in a car!

Solar System Lesson Plan: Create a Glog
Submitted by: Angela Watson
In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3-12, students use BrainPOP and other resources to research a topic related to the solar system. Students then work collaboratively to create a glog that conveys key points about their solar system topic.
Students will:
- Research a topic related to the solar system unit of study.
- Work collaboratively to create a glog that conveys key points about their solar system topic.
- Internet access for BrainPOP and Glogster
Preparation:This lesson plan can be utilized at the end of a unit of study on the solar system as either a review or assessment activity. To prepare, create an account for yourself at Glogster and explore how the site works. Plan the timeframe for your students' glog projects and prepare any project guidelines or rubrics you wish to distribute.
Lesson Procedure:
- Tell students they will be demonstrating their understanding of the solar system by creating a glog. Show students the site and sample projects that are displayed there.
- Share your project guidelines, rubric, deadlines, etc. with the class.
- Allow students to get into groups and select one of the BrainPOP topics in the Space unit. Students should watch the movie on their computers (or via the BrainPOP app on their mobile devices) to review the information they learned and identify the key points.
- Guide students in using other internet resources as needed as they create their glogs. Be sure to talk about attribution and copyright issues so that students understand how to use images and videos appropriately.
- Encourage students to self-assess their groups' glog according to criteria determined by you or the class.
- Have students save and upload their glogs to your class website or blog. Invite students to view one another's glogs and comment on them.
Extension Activity:Students can also demonstrate their knowledge about space through the Build a Solar System Game in BrainPOP's GameUp. This game can be played collaboratively or independently. Check out the corresponding lesson plan for more ideas on how to utilize the game.

School board: Roseburg elementary school not closing, for now
ROSEBURG, Ore. -- The Roseburg School Board has decided it will not close any elementary schools to cut costs in the district.
The board met Tuesday night to discuss the expected $4 million in cuts the district will have to make because of the falling revenues from the state.
School board chairman Joe Garcia says there are a lot of options on the table, but the fact is they are going to have to start cutting programs to reach that goal. "That really we've done our best up to this point in reducing and minimizing impact to kids the best we can. If we move forward with reducing an additional $4 million, there is no way we will be able to not have direct impacts on students, either through staff cuts or program cuts," said Garcia.
He said the consensus is that no elementary schools in the district will be closed, at least for now.
"The consensus last night at the work session, the board is not prepared to take that task on at this time. I f we continue to have budget issues the following next two and three years after that, with declining enrollment, those are the kind of conversations that we'd like to engage with the community to determine whether or not we can sustain nine elementary schools for example, or whether there's a better way to deliver the service to the kids in the district."
Garcia says one option they are considering is a local option levy, and he says the board is in the process of determining what that would like. He says they feel that in any of those decisions, the community needs to be heavily involved.
The district has lost about 500 students in the last five years, and that means more than $3 million in state funding, besides the other cuts from the state.

PROVIDENCE – A simple but well-executed bunt that St. Raphael's Kamryn Labree laid down in the top of the sixth inning Monday proved a turning point in Monday's Division II losers' bracket semifinal contest against North Smithfield.
If the freshman doesn't get the ball down, the tenor of the game may have been drastically different. Both pitchers, SRA's Kaylee Sylvestre and Karissa Carlton of North Smithfield, may have gone on flummoxing hitters and maintaining what was a scoreless, rain-soaked affair at Rhode Island College's Dayna A. Bazar Softball Complex.
With one well-aimed flick of the bat, Labree changed everything. Her sacrifice bunt helped set the stage for all the offense No.2 seed St. Raphael would need in an eventual 3-0 triumph over top seed North Smithfield. The Saints will try to continue their climb out of the losers' bracket against two-time defending champion East Greenwich, the game set for 5 p.m. Tuesday at RIC.
The winner of the SRA-East Greenwich matchup advances to play North Providence with the Division II title hanging in the balance. That contest is on the docket for Wednesday with RIC also serving as the site.
With each starting pitcher humming along at an impressive clip – Sylvestre was working on a three-hitter with five strikeouts through five innings while her counterpart, Carlton, had a dozen whiffs while permitting two hits over the same span – it became a question of who was going to blink first. Thanks in large part to Labree, the Saints were able to provide Sylvestre with some margin for error over the latter frames.
The sixth inning began innocently enough with Sylvestre singling on a 2-2 pitch. Looking to sacrifice her teammate into scoring position, Labree sent the ball in the direction of North Smithfield third baseman Angela Pasquariello, who threw a one-hopper to second baseman Tara Larson, at the time covering first.
Seeing what was taking place, Sylvestre hustled over to third to give the Saints runners on the corners with the heart of the lineup coming up.
Freshman No. 3 hitter Haley Mitsmenn quickly fell behind two strikes before getting just enough to deposit the ball in front of Northmen center fielder Jamie LaFazia. Waiting to see whether the ball would be caught, Sylvestre broke for home with the game's first run in her back pocket.
With two aboard, cleanup batter Hayley Microulis jumped all over the first pitch from Carlton, sending a shot that quickly soared over the head of right fielder Katherine West, the ball rolling all the way to the fence. Labree and Mitsmenn easily scored with Microulis pulling into third with a triple that helped pad SRA's lead.
Seeking refuge from the rain drops, St. Raphael head coach Ron Labree stood underneath the concession stand and was asked about daughter Kamryn's "smallball" moment.
"She plays hard and knows what she's doing," said proud papa Ron. "As soon as Kaylee got on, she looked at me and shook her head. She knew what she was going to do."
Working with the lead for the first time didn't change Sylvestre's demeanor in the slightest bit. Facing the Nos. 2-4 batters in North Smithfield's lineup in the last of the sixth, the 10th grader retired LaFazia, Jen Brodeur and Larson – tough outs indeed – in order.
The Northmen's last gasp saw the II-North champs place two runners on, the result of a Saints' error and a two-out walk. With No. 1 hitter Jessica Tremblay standing in the on-deck circle, Sylvestre got the potential game-tying run in catcher Sam Archambault to pop up to second, ending the game.
Sylvestre wound up firing a three-hitter with five strikeouts. At one point, she retired 10 straight batters, while posting perfect fifth and sixth innings, the former seeing her retire the Northmen on just three pitches.
"I was able to mix my pitches and have the confidence that the defense would make the plays behind me," said Sylvestre.
Added SRA mentor Labree, "She won't back down, she goes right at you. She trusts her stuff."
Save for the hard-hit ball she surrendered to Microulis, Carlton was her usual stellar self. The Northmen's junior ace struck out a whopping 16 batters while walking just one.
Other than the seventh, North Smithfield's best chance against Sylvestre came in the first inning. Tremblay led off with a single with Larson adding a base knock with two down. The bid was extinguished when Sylvestre induced a pop-up to second base.
"We were able to drive the ball at some points, but mostly it was right at people," noted North Smithfield assistant coach Paul Mercier. "We didn't get many breaks, but we went down swinging."
The loss concludes a playoff run that saw the Northmen win two games in dramatic, last at-bat fashion and drop both encounters that took place on RIC's campus. North Smithfield finishes the season at 18-3.
"Every year we've kept moving forward, so you never know what's going to happen next year," Mercier remarked.
St. Raphael (21-3 overall) and East Greenwich have already crossed paths in the postseason, the Avengers pinning a 4-1 loss in a winners' bracket opening-round game that took place a week ago at the Hank Soar Complex.
"We know what E.G. is about and we have a lot of respect for them," said Labree. "We just played them, and hopefully we learned something from that."

DEVILS at ISLANDERS, 7:05 pmDiPietro plays before sellout; Gervais steps up
6:30 pm – Yann Danis is out sick, so Martin Brodeur gets the start. As I just tweeted, Yann will probably get his next chance to start in March.
11:05 am, NVMC: Rick DiPietro starts tonight against the Devils, 3-1 losers last night at home to the Canadiens. DiPietro shut out New Jersey on Monday after beating Buffalo in a shootout less than 48 hours earlier. Isn't it nice that the news of DiPietro getting a start is not really news?
Although a few tickets were available this morning, tonight's crowd will be a sellout – the latest indication that the fan base is recognizing what the Islanders have built this season. Key for the home team will be establishing their style of play and not letting the Devils drain the flow out of the game and the passion out of the stands.
The Devils are struggling badly of late. They have lost four of five and they do not have a power play goal in their last eight games. Niclas Bergfors, at one point pushing Tyler Myers, Matt Duchene, John Tavares, the kid goalies and all the rest as a Calder candidate, does not have a goal in his last eleven. With Rod Pelley out, former Islanders farmhand Ben Walter is up with the Devils.
Scott Gordon said this morning the Devils "are going to want to be able to respond" after the Islanders shut them out on Monday afternoon. "We caught them after their road trip and they weren't as sharp. I'm sure they'll be better tonight."
Coinciding with the Islanders' recent roll is the improved play of Bruno Gervais, who had a subpar first half after playing so well for long stretches last season with Mark Streit.
"The confidence is back," Gervais said this morning. "The message from the coaches was that I was trying to do too much. You can't make chicken salad out of … "
Asked for the reasons for the defenseman's improved play, Gordon said that Gervais and Freddy Meyer complement each other well. Gervais, who partnered with Dustin Kohn last game, agreed. "Now that we've both been here a while, Freddy and I know how to help each other on the ice," he said. "We have good instincts about when he should join the play and I should join the play. We back each other up."
Nathan Horton is out 4-6 weeks with a broken tibia after absorbing that slap shot dump-in from teammate Dennis Seidenberg in the third period on Thursday at the Coliseum. After the game, coach Peter DeBoer's preliminary report from Panthers trainer led him to believe, "It's nothing to be worried about." Now Florida, an Islanders rival for a playoff berth, loses a key component on their top line for a month.
Comments on tonight's game and this post.

Sticker shock: Teams being told asking price on Dylan Bundy is 6 yrs, $30 million. For Archie Bradley, 5 yrs and $20 million. #mlbdraft
Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLBTR points out here (where I found this information to begin with) that "No draft deal has ever been worth $20MM, so the high schoolers' asking prices are sure to scare away less serious teams."
So, do you think either of these players are worth that financial risk? Both being HS pitchers, and with the recent Hobgood shenanigans, I wonder if either of these guys would be smart options at this point for the organization.

Castle Heights fourth grade teacher Kiera Luke gets a toothless nip on the ear from a baby black bear who came to class for a visit. The little bear and his brother were found abandoned in their den near Monticello by Division of Wildlife Resources biologist Brad Crompton. Since Crompton's daughter, Sofia, is in Mrs. Luke's class, and since the class is working on a unit about animals, things worked out for a classroom lesson. Crompton said it is unusual for a mother bear to abandon her cubs, but it does happen sometimes. They'll be nursed until they are ready to be released in the fall near they place there were found. More school pictures are on page 5A.

Knee Osteoarthritis: Thumbs Down for Acupuncture and Glucosamine
Osteoarthritis is the "wear and tear" kind of arthritis that many of us develop as we get older. Cartilage becomes less resilient with age, collagen can degenerate, and inflammation and new bone outgrowths (osteophytes) can occur. This leads to pain, crepitus (Rice Krispie type crackling noises with movement), swelling and fluid accumulation in the joints (effusion), and can severely limit activity for some patients.
Since knee osteoarthritis is such a ubiquitous annoyance, home remedies and CAM offerings abound. Previously we have covered a number of CAM options on this blog, including glucosamine, acupuncture, and several others. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has just issued a 1200 page report evaluating the evidence for various treatments for knee osteoarthritis short of total knee replacement surgery. A 13 page summary is available online. They have done the heavy lifting for us, reviewing all the available scientific studies for evidence of effectiveness. Here's what the science says: (I've highlighted the ones where the evidence is strong.) (more…)

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes
- 2 1/4 pounds potatoes (waxy variety, such as Yukon Gold
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons mild brown mustard
- 1/2 bunch chives, snipped
Cook the potatoes in simmering salted water until just tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain and dry. While the potatoes are still hot, remove the skins and slice the potatoes 1/2-inch thick.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the bacon fat in the pan; crumble the bacon into small pieces, and reserve.
Bring the chicken broth, vinegar, onions, salt, sugar, and pepper to a boil.
Combine the oil, rendered bacon fat, and mustard with the warm potatoes. Pour the boiling broth-vinegar mixture over the potatoes. Toss in the crumbled bacon and chives.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Tested by the world's best athletes and deemed as outstanding: the 2011-12 ATOMIC Race collection puts the World Cup technologies developed by the most successful brand in Alpine ski sport in the hands of performance-driven skiers.
The ski technology which made Carlo Janka overall World Cup winner; the boot construction which took Atomic athletes to three crystal globes and seven Olympic medals; the equipment which made all the difference in 20 World Cup wins: what again made ATOMIC the most successful brand at the Alpine Ski World Cup in 2009-10 is now at the disposal of ambitious leisure skiers striving for personal success. The ATOMIC Race collection covers the entire ski sport spectrum: from pure speed machines based on World Cup know-how and designed for greater precision, more effective edge grip and even more explosive dynamics through to agile all-rounders designed for maximum fun on the slopes at any speed. Presenting the highlights of the ATOMIC Race collection 2011-12:
With the D2 Race, ambitious skiers can use the same ski construction as overall World Cup winner Carlo Janka. The competition had no answer to the fourth generation of the simply outstanding D2 Race GS: the ski which combines unparalleled smoothness with maximum effective edge grip even on frozen pistes. This is thanks to a unique construction comprising a separate upper and lower deck. The relatively soft lower deck – or Adapter Deck – absorbs vibrations, delivers optimum edge grip and ensures perfect smoothness. The stabilizing upper deck – or Control Deck – efficiently distributes the power generated by the skier at every stage of the turn. The six different Race models have been redesigned for the new season and are complemented by the new Performer. This forgiving, compliant performance ski with Active Camber is ideal for newcomers and price-conscious athletes. ATOMIC offers a wide range of bindings for all Race skis, all of which can be perfectly adapted to the skier's individual style: from the X-binding series borrowed directly from the World Cup to the Neox models designed for athletic skiers.
Years of development have gone into ATOMIC Race boots: the race-proven, exclusive ATOMIC Race geometry delivers a tangible improvement in power transmission on the slopes and a real competitive edge in race conditions. The World Cup chassis, 98mm lasts and Team ASY Pro Liner provide the foot with ultra-precise support, while high-grade aluminum buckles help to reduce weight. The premium RT CS 130 model with 55mm RS Dual Strap enables the skier to maintain a perfect line even at high speeds: it has the same flex as the World Cup boot and is also available with optional low-profile carbon buckles.
Thanks to better prepared pistes and equipment which is easier to master, speeds on the slopes are increasing. ATOMIC has responded by developing reliable safety equipment which offers unrivalled, all-round protection without compromising on mobility or fun. Performance-driven skiers can choose from two different but equally high-grade helmet designs. The aerodynamic Pro Tect WC with ABS shell is the same helmet worn by Benni Raich at the World Cup: lightweight, ultra-robust, FIS-homologated and designed for maximum protection even in the ear region. The design of the Troop SL is more radical. The original helmet worn by Marcel Hirscher combines tried and tested race features with cool freeski visuals and can also be fitted with a chin cup. The shape and design of both helmets are compatible with the ATOMIC Race RS and Race WC ski goggles. But it's not just the head which requires protection: the back is especially prone to injury from falls. ATOMIC has therefore developed the Live Shield protectors, optimized to the safety needs of skiers. They protect the back and parts of the stomach area from injury, boast excellent breathability and ensure natural freedom of movement in every situation.

LOWVILLE — More than a year after being suspended on allegations of authorizing $347 worth of improper payments to her daughter, a former Lewis County election commissioner now faces criminal charges.
Elaine McLear, New Bremen, on Tuesday afternoon was arraigned on an unsealed indictment including three felony counts of first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and single misdemeanor counts of official misconduct and petit larceny. She pleaded innocent, and her case was adjourned to March 29.
Acting County Judge Donald E. Todd, who is presiding over the case, released Mrs. McLear on her own recognizance, directing her to visit the local state police barracks for processing.
Mrs. McLear was accused of submitting purchase orders for payments to her daughter, Diane McLear, of $35 for an election inspector training session in August 2011, $120 for working at the Sept. 13, 2011, primary election and $192 for working at the Nov. 8, 2011, general election.
"The people are, in fact, ready for trial," prosecutor Colleen M. Glavin, assistant state attorney general and public integrity officer, told the judge.
Rome attorney John G. Leonard, who is representing Mrs. McLear, declined immediate comment following Tuesday's arraignment, noting he had yet to review the unsealed court documents.
Judge Todd, an Oswego County judge, is handling the case because newly elected Lewis County Judge Daniel R. King recused himself.
Mrs. McLear, who had been the Democratic commissioner since 1997, was suspended without pay Dec. 28, 2011, pending the results of a state police investigation into the allegations.
The matter was then turned over to the attorney general's office, as the district attorney — like the sheriff — is an elected official who has direct dealings with the Board of Elections.
Mrs. McLear in late June sued the county, seeking reinstatement and back pay, and a state Supreme Court justice ruled in her favor, agreeing election commissioners can be removed from office only by the governor. However, the county appealed the decision, keeping Mrs. McLear from returning to work until that process is completed.
Her term expired Dec. 31, and legislators appointed Lindsay I. Burriss, who served as interim commissioner throughout 2012, to the job on a permanent basis.
Results of that appeal will determine whether the county will be required to pay Mrs. McLear, who had an annual salary of roughly $35,000, for her year under suspension.
A county filing in the civil case indicated that Diane McLear, through attorney Michael F. Young, admitted that she was not due payment for the two elections and on June 27 issued a refund check for $312 to the county.
The former commissioner is the second Lewis County official to face criminal charges within the past few months.
Recreational Trail Coordinator Robert C. Diehl, 43, who is currently suspended with pay, in November was arraigned in Lowville Village Court on charges of third-degree grand larceny, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and official misconduct. He was accused of submitting a purchase order and voucher for payment in late October for stone products from V.S. Virkler and Son, Lowville, that included $3,262.97 worth of gravel that was delivered to his residence for his personal use.
Mr. Diehl has yet to appear in County Court in the criminal matter but, on Dec. 26, did participate in a daylong administrative hearing that was presided over by retired state Supreme Court Justice John S. Parker. Judge Parker is expected to rule soon on whether the Board of Legislators can terminate Mr. Diehl.

20 U.S. Code § 7217a - Participation of children enrolled in private schools
(a) Participation on equitable basis
(1) In general
To the extent consistent with the number of children in the school district of a local educational agency that is eligible to receive funds under this part, or that serves the area in which a program assisted under this part is located, who are enrolled in private nonprofit elementary schools and secondary schools, or, with respect to instructional or personnel training programs funded by the State educational agency from funds made available for State educational agency use, the local educational agency, after consultation with appropriate private school officials—
(A) shall provide, as may be necessary, for the benefit of such children in such schools—
(i) secular, neutral, and nonideological services, materials, and equipment, including the participation of the teachers of such children (and other educational personnel serving such children) in training programs; and
(B) if such services, materials, and equipment are not feasible or necessary in one or more such private schools, as determined by the local educational agency after consultation with the appropriate private school officials, shall provide such other arrangements as will assure equitable participation of such children in the purposes and benefits of this part.
(2) Other provisions for services
If no program is carried out under paragraph (1) in the school district of a local educational agency, the State educational agency shall make arrangements, such as through contracts with nonprofit agencies or organizations, under which children in private schools in the district are provided with services and materials to the same extent as would have occurred if the local educational agency had received funds under this part.
(3) Application of requirements
The requirements of this section relating to the participation of children, teachers, and other personnel serving such children shall apply to programs carried out under this part by a State educational agency or local educational agency, whether directly or through grants to, or contracts with, other public or private agencies, institutions, or organizations.
(b) Equal expenditures
(1) In general
Expenditures for programs under subsection (a) of this section shall be equal (consistent with the number of children to be served) to expenditures for programs under this part for children enrolled in the public schools of the local educational agency.
(2) Concentrated programs
Taking into account the needs of the individual children and other factors that relate to the expenditures referred to in paragraph (1), and when funds available to a local educational agency under this part are used to concentrate programs on a particular group, attendance area, or grade or age level, children enrolled in private schools who are included within the group, attendance area, or grade or age level selected for such concentration shall, after consultation with the appropriate private school officials, be assured equitable participation in the purposes and benefits of such programs.

Alabama Uncontested Divorces
Call us today at (205) 201-1789
We are currently charging $320 in attorney fees for uncontested divorces without minor children and $420 for uncontested divorces with minor children of the marriage.
Alabama Cheap Divorces
There are generally two ways that couples can get a divorce in Alabama, either contested or uncontested. Alabama uncontested divorces are generally the best way to get a quick and cheap divorce and is sometimes called a no fault divorce. It is where both spouses reach an agreement prior to the divorce being filed and at the time the case is filed, nothing is contested or disputed.
In an uncontested divorce, the necessary documents are typically prepared by an Alabama uncontested divorce lawyer and both parties then sign the documents, which includes a settlement agreement concerning all of their marital issues. Once the documents are signed and properly executed, then the documents can be filed with the appropriate court (and since an agreement has been signed and filed with all of the other documents, it is called an uncontested divorce). The Court will typically not sign the divorce decree for at least 30 days, but in an easy and quick uncontested divorce both spouses will usually be receiving their Final Decree of Divorce in the mail about 6 to 12 weeks after filing (depending on the county you file in).
There are typically no hearings or court dates in an Alabama uncontested divorce since an agreement has been reached concerning the division of marital assets, custody, and other such matters. Some counties have a different process for obtaining a quick no fault divorce than others and each county can have their own unique document requirements. However, our lawyers file hundreds of uncontested divorces every year in almost every county in the state, and are familiar with the requirements necessary for you to receive a cheap and quick divorce no matter where you are filing.
Alabama Contested Divorces
In contrast to an uncontested or no fault divorce, a contested divorce is when one spouse contacts a lawyer to file their divorce for them without an agreement having been reached. In response to this filing, the other spouse usually gets an attorney and responds by filing a document called an Answer. At this point both parties, through their respective divorce attorneys, will try to reach an agreement at various hearings that are set each month or so. Eventually, if no agreement can be reached, then both parties will go to trial (many months or well over a year later) and have a Judge decide such things for them as custody, visitation, and marital property division. The attorney fees in a contested divorce are much higher than an uncontested, and the process takes much longer since there are contested issues to be resolved.
How Much Does an Uncontested Divorce Cost?
Our uncontested divorce lawyers are currently charging $320 for attorney fees in simple no fault divorces in Alabama without minor children of the marriage and $420 for simple no fault divorces in Alabama with minor children of the marriage. We would need to speak with you first about your agreement and gather some additional information about you and your spouse. Once we have this information our uncontested divorce lawyers will create the documents for you and your spouse to execute, and return them to our office to file it for you.
When you retain our lawyers to handle your uncontested divorce for you we will: 1) prepare all of your documents, including your agreement for you; 2) counsel you and answer any questions you may have about the divorce process; 3) file your divorce documents once they are properly signed and executed; and 4) work to ensure that the judge signs the Decree and that the process goes as quickly as possible. A non-contested divorce is almost always the best way to obtain an easy and cheap divorce while allowing both parties to have the divorce become final as quickly as possible and not drag on in the Courts.

Find these UGG® boots, slippers, sandals and more at Eastbay!How to Clean UGG® Boots
If your UGG® boots happen to get dirty at any point, do NOT wash them using a washing machine. Instead, hand-wash your UGG® boots in cold water (hot water can damage them) and air-dry them away from any heat sources (do not put them in a dryer). Dryers, heat sources and direct sunlight could potentially damage them. Stuff your boots with paper towels before air-drying them so they keep their shape when they dry.
There are also products available that are made specifically for cleaning sheepskin, and also for protecting and conditioning UGG® boots and shoes. Don't use any products that haven't been approved by UGG® Australia, as other products could damage your UGG® boots.
If you purchase an UGG® "Fluff" item (such as the UGG® Fluffie sandal), gently brush your UGG® shoes with a wire brush daily. If they get dirty, clean with a soft cloth and cold water, and let air-dry. After they dry, brush them out again using a wire brush to keep their fluffiness.
Here are some important tips to keep in mind when shopping for and trying on UGG® boots and shoes:
UGG® boots should be snug, but not uncomfortable - the twin-faced sheepskin will give a bit as they mold to your feet. UGG® boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth of the sheepskin, which has natural properties that will wick moisture away from your feet to ensure they're kept cozy and dry. The sheepskin helps maintain body temperatures, making UGG® boots appropriate for all climates - UGG® boots will keep your feet warm in temperatures as low as -30�F and cool in temperatures up to 80�F. UGG® boots and shoes are NOT waterproof. However, sheepskin is naturally water resistant, so small amounts of water will not seep through or cause damage.
UGG® boots should not be worn in extremely damp or muddy conditions (so you probably shouldn't plan any snow-trekking or off-road hiking in your UGG® boots). Even though UGG® boots are designed to keep out dampness, sheepskin does absorb moisture and mud more readily than leather. By keeping your UGG® boots out of mud and water, you're ensuring the longevity of your UGG® boots so you can wear them year after year.
Since you'll likely be wearing your UGG® boots almost every day, it's good to know that UGG® boots and shoes will match just about anything! For women, pairing your UGG® boots with skinny jeans tucked into them is the ultimate cold-weather style. Also, wear your UGG® boots with a knee-length skirt (or higher/lower depending on your preference) and either tights or bare legs for a casually chic look that goes from day to night in a breeze. For men, UGG® boots and shoes look great with your normal style of jeans and can easily be matched up with anything from a t-shirt to a button-down top or a sweater. With so many colors to choose from, you're sure to find a pair of UGG® boots that will look great no matter what your style is. But don't worry about only being able to wear them in the winter - with sheepskin's temperature control, you'll be able to show off your UGG® boots any time of the year!
UGG® uses only the highest-grade, lavish, twin-faced sheepskin available. Twin-faced sheepskin is used in most UGG® core products. A piece of twin-faced sheepskin has been treated on both the fleece side and the skin side, providing the soft comfort UGG® boots are famous for. Grade-A sheepskin is extremely dense and soft, which provides a more comfortable and durable material. Lesser-quality materials and synthetics can be coarse and scratchy, while grade-A sheepskin breathes naturally, wicking away moisture and allowing air to circulate freely. Be sure to look for authentic UGG® boots to avoid the risk of fake sheepskin, which will leave your feet sweaty and cold. Sheepskin is also naturally thermostatic, keeping bare feet as close to your natural body temperature as possible - regardless of the temperature outside. This is known as "30� Below" - the science behind thermostatic footwear.
UGG® boots and shoes are all about luxury and comfort. From the moment you try on a pair, you'll immediately understand why UGG® boots are some of the country's most popular footwear styles ever made. The story of UGG® Australia began in 1978 when Brian Smith, a surfer from Australia, traveled to the United States with a bag full of sheepskin boots. He found a new home among California surfers, and it was there that the UGG® brand began. By 1998, the product line had grown to include two boots, four slippers and a few casual shoes. It was in 1998 that UGG® Australia first stepped up alongside the world's finest luxury footwear brands. The business continued to steadily grow as UGG® boots reached beyond the beaches of California to New York City - and beyond. By 2003, UGG® was responsible for the creation of an entirely new category of footwear. From that moment on, sheepskin footwear would be seen on the runways in Milan, Paris and New York; and it all began on the beach in Australia.

A great way to see the Flinders Ranges and outback is by mountain bike.
With hundreds of kilometres of off-road cycling trails, you can choose your own adventure. The Flinders Ranges and outback is paradise for keen cyclists
At the foot of Mount Remarkable National Park, Melrose is the perfect base. Stay at the holiday units, caravan park, hotel, cottage or blacksmith shop. Exploring is easy, with cycling trails easily accessible from the town centre.
Escape to Mount Remarkable's foothills and cycle through the unique Australian landscape. Look out for kangaroos, wallabies and emus.
Feel the adrenalin rush descending craggy slopes. Ride through the heart of the bush and rest atop its ridges.
See the sun rise over the red sand by joining a Flinders Ranges and outback cycling group. Tours depart at 7am each day from Over the Edge Sports.
Carve your way through the scrub on one of the many single-tracks. Get a feel for the Flinders Ranges and outback by starting with the original Melrose mountain bike trail, "Textbook 10%". For families, the "Showground's Loop" meanders throughout 100 acres of gums and gullies. It provides great picnic spots, creeks and laughing kookaburras.
For a challenge, try "Hellrose". The cycling track includes a technical climb, big jumps and descent. You'll find trails graded by difficulty level. Don't head to the Flinders Ranges and outback without a map of the trails and grades.

POTSDAM SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdams shared services initiatives were lauded by state college officials at a conference Thursday.
Representatives from about a dozen state colleges were invited to SUNY Potsdam for the Harnessing Systemness conference, the second in a series of meetings promoting shared services and cooperation among state colleges.
SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher coined the term systemness last year as a way of describing a stronger focus on collaboration between campuses.
There is a long history of shared services, but they have been kind of disjointed, said SUNY Chief Financial Officer Brian G. Hutzley, who attended Thursdays conference.
While other schools look at ways to cut costs by merging offices, SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam are already ahead of the curve.
They are a leader, both within the state and nationally, Mr. Hutzley said.
Natalie L. Higley, Vice President for Business Affairs & Administration for both SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam, presented the days keynote address. She outlined the lessons learned from her year working for the schools as she oversaw efforts to rapidly establish a slew of shared services.
Her efforts did not go unresisted.
When I came on board, nobody understood what shared services are. Nobody understood that they were a business process, she said.
The resistance stemmed from fears that SUNY would hire a joint president for both schools. That idea was considered but eventually discarded.
The concept was, would it be easier to share services with one president, but Canton and Potsdam showed that you can share services with two presidents, Mr. Hutzley said.
In the last year, SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam have worked quickly to merge payroll, veterans affairs, university police and several other administrative positions. Their plans for the future are even more expansive, with talk of possible shared academic programs.
Ms. Higley warned that shared services must be approached with planning and purpose. They are not a quick fix, and without proper care, effectiveness might be accidentally sacrificed in the name of efficiency.
According to Mr. Hutzley, the entire SUNY system will be taking a closer look at shared services as a means to provide the best value for students.
The cost of education should be a concern for everyone, he said.
At Thursdays conference, SUNY Potsdam President Dennis L. Hefner called for greater cooperation across the SUNY system as a whole, both to save money and to help students. He stressed the need for students to be able to transfer academic credits more easily between schools.
We are the same system. We need to make sure credits from one institution can transfer to the others, he said.
Mr. Hutzley said several initiatives are in the works to make moving between schools easier.

Last year this was much later in the month, so his is awesome news. Why? My wife and I are due to have our second child in early April and I was freaking out about maybe being 1200 miles away so close to the due date. However, this puts me six weeks or so out, which should go over much better. Thanks, Mets.
To see the team's 2013 Spring Training schedule, which officially starts Feb. 23, check out this post by Michael Baron on MetsBlog.com from yesterday.
