Monday Morning Madness: July 15, 2013
by, 07-15-2013 at 05:00 AM (423 Views)
If you gave me a list of outcomes from this weekend's series with the Yankees, I would have ordered their likelihood as such:
- Yankees Sweep
- Yankees spontaneously combust; Yankee dust sweeps Twins
- Yankees win 2 of 3; Twins win game 2 because all Yankees oversleep
- Yankees win 2 of 3 fair and square
- Twins win 2 of 3 because all Yankees lock their keys in their cars
- Twins win 2 of 3 fair and square
- The universe ends abruptly
- Twins Sweep
Of course, watching the Yankees yesterday, they suck. The Twins still took care of business and it was fun to watch the Yankees look like a Little League team for a magic Sunday. Here are a few more thoughts from the series:
Brian Duensing
A couple weeks ago, I posited that if Brian Duensing can't get lefties out, he has no value. Why is Duensing struggling? I looked at his splits versus lefties over the past four seasons:
H% is the percentage of batted balls that went for hits. You can see that his four-year trend does not look great. His hit rate has climbed like... like, really tall stairs and his BA/OBP/SLG have climbed along side. However, here's another chart that tells a slightly different story:
PA K% BB% K/BB xFIP BABIP 2010 153 22.2 4.6 4.86 3.13 .204 2011 187 20.3 3.2 6.33 2.89 .261 2012 178 15.7 5.1 3.11 4.04 .274 2013 83 24.4 6.1 4.00 2.63 .400
Duensing's peripheral stats aren't quite as depressing. In fact, by xFIP, he is actually better against lefties than he has ever been. The increase in his walk rate would be troubling if the sample wasn't so small. His BABIP is sky high and his strikeout rate is higher than ever, so if he has been unlucky, there is no reason to think he can't return to an effective lefty specialist. However, if he is simply getting more hittable, then it might not matter how much his BABIP drops. Again, the sample is small.
Roster Moves
Oswaldo Arcia got a couple days off this weekend, and he needed them. It looked like he was trying to hit a home run every time up and he was yanking his head toward right field instead of watching the ball hit his bat. Then, he got optioned to AAA on Sunday. I can't say I hate the move, although I would rather see Arcia make adjustments while facing MLB pitching. I understand why the move was made though.
I don't really get the Chris Parmelee demotion though. Perhaps Parmelee's time to get consistent at bats with the Twins has passed. He's clearly not in the current plans and he's lost playing time to Clete Thomas of all people. Now, it seems that Chris Herrmann and Chris Colabello are coming up and they should both get consistent playing time. Thus, there has to be an odd Chris out. Parmelee may never get a solid two months with the Twins ever. Things certainly seem to be pointing in that direction.
I don't really care about Eduardo Escobar. Mostly because...
I like Pedro Florimon
I just like him. I know he really isn't a good hitter and he probably isn't a long-term solution at short, but I just like him. He plays great defense and makes some really spectacular plays. He also makes some really tough plays look really easy. He's quite streaky at the plate, but he can get some hits here and there. He's second to only Joe Mauer according to Fangraphs' WAR, so he clearly provides value. The Twins will likely look to upgrade at short in the coming seasons, but I wouldn't mind if Florimon is around for a bit longer.
Enough love, time for Madness!
Random Plug - Grant Brisbee is at it again
Brisbee presents a series of images that show what errors look like. It's fantastic. If you read my blog, you probably have noticed that I try to create silly posts like these. However, Brisbee is on a completely different level of silliness and I can't match him. You should just go read/look at this article and have a good laugh.
Photo Breakdown! - Oswaldo gets gum
Lost in the shuffle of Michael Tonkin's successful debut was a quest for a specific piece of gum that was caught on camera in the background. Here's the proof:
If you look, Arcia is pulling out massive quantities of gum. I find it unlikely that he will chew all of them.
Now, he seems to be sorting through, likely looking for the flavor of his choice. I hope he finds it.
It looks like he has, as he conscientiously puts the pieces that he will not chew back in the bucket for the next guy. What a dude!
Poll Results!
Which Twin is most likely to be traded this season? 36 votes
- Josh Willingham - 10 votes
- Kevin Correia - 6 votes
- Mike Pelfrey - 2 votes
- Ryan Doumit - 7 votes
- Justin Morneau - 11 votes
Losing Morneau will be sad, but hopefully the Twins can bolster the Farm System at his expense. I would support trading all of these players, but I love to wheel and deal. I added a new poll, please vote when you have a moment.
LOL FSNorth
Hey FSN, what does Paul Goldschmidt look like? Who does he play for? HAHAHA! lol. It is an impressive list though.
Link to Something Stupid I "wrote"
Speaking of silliness, I created an all bird all-star team. I think there's some dignified subtlety and I hope you enjoy it. Can birds play baseball? You'll find out.
Links to Something Good I read
Twins Daily is dominating the trade deadline talk and speculation. Each MLB team will be featured and sleeper prospects and dream targets are discussed. You can find a new one each day on the front page.
Twins Daily member Jorgenswest has also posted some great articles looking at what reasonable return would be for some of the Twins players who may be traded. He looked back at deals for similar players and analyzed the returns. If you didn't see these articles already, you should really check them out. The level of research is really helpful and impressive. He has written three as of when I am writing this:
Brian Duensing
Glen Perkins
Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey
Parting Chart - All Stars
I realized that not only are Joe Mauer and Glen Perkins both from Minnesota, but they both graduated in 2001 as well. Guess who else graduated in 2001? That's right, I did. I played baseball when I was young too. Now, I'm not going to lie and say I remember playing against Perkins or Mauer or anything like that, but it's certainly possible. Anyway, I created this little chart that highlights our baseball accomplishments, as we will always be linked together in history.
Joe Mauer Glen Perkins Brad Swanson High School Cretin-Derham Hall HS Stillwater Area HS Mounds View HS Class of 2001 2001 2001 College None University of Minnesota University of Minnesota Position Catcher Closer Left Couch MLB Debut 4/5/2004 9/21/2006 4/1/2015 Salary 23 Million 2.5 Million Less than Mauer made yesterday Best Known For Humble Midwestern charm Twitter Presence Putting Twins player heads on bird bodies All-Star Selections Six One Zero Most Impressive Baseball Feat 2009 AL MVP Pitched for Team USA in 2013 World Baseball Classic Caught a spike on a root in center field; hyper-extended knee Endorsements Land O'Lakes Milk Minnesota Twins Ticket Packages Voted for Nader in 2000 Facial Hair Sideburns Neckbeard Can't grow
And now you know that we are three completely different people. Have a nice week, everyone!

Mercury Mountaineer Maintenance and Repair
nvbanker Posts: 7,285Are Mountaineers known for problems?
No, they're generally excellent vehicles, in my experience, and I've owned 7 of them, still have an 07. Yours sounds like a mess, and I would take it back if I were you. It's got a bunch of issues, none of them sound good. I've never had one do any of those things.
dbild427 Posts: 1I just recently bought a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer and the Moon Roof leaks when it rains. I had a mechanic look at it he said that all he could do is to clean out the tracks/gutters. He told me that he has seen this problem before and dont have a solution other than to replace the whole unit. I took it to a Auto Glass Shop that actually installs moon roofs and he told me the same thing. Anyone out there who might have an answer to this problem? I am not counting on it too much, because I've noticed that there aren't too many answers to problems in this forum. I'm hoping for the best and that someone may respond. :confuse:
djg131 Posts: 1I have a 1998. Awesome vehicle. It has served me well since I purchased it in 2000--though I am probably more attentive than most when it comes to regular service. I believe that maintaining an older vehicle is a great trade-off when compared to new car payments and higher ins., etc. I think what your problem needs is a 'soft parts' tranny rebuild. If it is still under warranty, you should insist on this!! The problem is common around 100,000 to 120,000 miles. You can drive it as is for MANY more miles, especially if you do not use overdrive, but that can be a nuisance. The problem is primarily in the high range shifting area, but once the trans is down, you should do the other 'soft parts as well. Hope this helps. Don

By Brian Messenger
---- — METHUEN — The mayor is standing up for Assistant City Solicitor Anne Randazzo after City Council Chairman Sean Fountain questioned her work performance at a public meeting Tuesday night.
Fountain's comments came during interviews for the city solicitor job. He twice questioned the amount of legal work Randazzo does for the city, first before posing a question to finalist Richard D'Agostino and again during an interview with finalist William Faraci.
"The department of law ... is basically a one-person operation," said Fountain. "I know we have an assistant. I don't know what the assistant does to assist with the department of law. I haven't seen much."
Randazzo was hired shortly after Mayor Stephen Zanni took office in January 2012 to fill the newly-created position of assistant solicitor/human resources director. She makes $80,578 annually.
"Not one councilor has asked me about her work," said Zanni yesterday. "They make accusations out there that they don't know about. I think she's done a tremendous job."
Since being hired, Zanni said Randazzo has completed all tasks assigned to her by City Solicitor Peter McQuillan, including between 15 and 20 legal cases. In addition to that, Zanni said Randazzo remains busy with her duties as human resources director.
"I am here every day," added Randazzo. "I answer to the mayor. He's my boss. I am confident that I'm doing everything I can do and doing the best I can do."
But two additional councilors yesterday said they share concerns about Randazzo's hybrid position. Councilor Michael Condon said assigning split duties for both assistant solicitor and human resources director may have been a bad idea.
"Maybe we made a mistake here," said Condon.
Condon said he believes Randazzo is spending the majority of her time with human resources work. As a result, councilors are concerned the city solicitor is not receiving the support they expected upon approving the new position last year.
"People are wondering where most of the time is being spent or whether any of the time is being spent with the solicitor," said Condon. "It was our understanding that she was really going to dig in her heels with Peter. And from what we're hearing, that's not happening."
Councilor Jennifer Kannan said she too is disappointed with how the position is being used, particularly after Zanni hired an outside legal firm earlier this year to help negotiate a legal settlement with police Chief Joseph Solomon.
Councilors cried foul when Zanni hired the firm, reminding the mayor of his claim in early 2012 that Randazzo's addition to the city staff would save "a fortune" in outside legal fees.
"That's when I started saying, 'Why aren't we using her?'" said Kannan. "What's the position? Should it be reevaluated?"
Yesterday, Zanni said that thanks to Randazzo's legal work, the Solomon case is the only case the city has outsourced all year.

Great pastas, Wine Menu, Cocktails, never a long wait, and the view mainly on 4th of July it's great, perfect evening romantic getaway. I've been to many Napa bistros as well as great restaurants in Sausalito and San Francisco, this place is peaceful, private, and the service is great it's a great option so you don't have the long wait & fight the traffic either(Fast Kitchen too) And the fireplace in the lounge it's awesome. I love it!!!!

The Dead Fish has a great bar and good drinks. The out door seating is very romantic with a great view of the Carq Bridge. Food is good too!

I checked out the DF for brunch Sunday with a friend who lives over near Crockett. My friend got the crab benedict, an obvious choice given the nature of the restaurant. I stayed with the theme and got the crab omelet. Both items were really tasty with the fresh crab. My omelet had fontina, avocado, onion and tomato and was cooked perfectly. A fun and tasty brunch!
Posted on Citysearch on: 11/5/2006
\rThe Dead Fish is a great place to have drinks. The friendly staff continuously brings you warm and fresh bread while slip on drinks and overlook the water as the sun sets. I have not eaten dinner here yet but the appetizers and the atmosphere are great! \r

My dungeness crab sandwich came to the table as a french dip. When they corrected my sandwich, it was more like bread with a little strand of crab. I was very disappointed with my order, but I saw all the steaming, sizzling crab and shrimp skillet platters coming out for other tables and I was very jealous that I had not ordered that. On the other hand, the steamed clams were delicious. My side salad was pretty tiny. They should really take off the crab sandwich from the menu if it is going to be so skimpy on the crab. I'm dying to go back to try their platter plates.

The bruschetta was fantastic! Over New Year, our family went with both sets of parents/in-laws and kids. Good wine list, too. We were seated at a window overlooking the new Carquinez bridge, which is beautiful at night. The food was excellent and service was good. Overall a fantastic experience for our family. We have yet to go as a couple, but I know it is a romantic place just from our visit. The restaurant is reasonably priced and it's much needed in this area -- there are few good seafood restaurants around! I highly recommend.
Posted on Citysearch on: 11/9/2005
The food, service and atmosphere...everything is A+....I use to go here every payday with my coworkers....Until I found another job.....I highly recommend the muscles, or I always get the prime rib/dungeness crab platter....The price is about 30 bucks for that...which is reasonable because the food is excellent!! Though when it's packed it's hard to get parking and you have to park up the hill across the street...but I DO NOT MIND...because i love this place!! Just a tip that you should make reservations ahead of time....

I went here for the first time on Thanksgiving of this year (2004), and what a FANTASTIC choice it was. I was in hog-heaven, eating some of the most DELICIOUS, amazing food I've ever had. The bruschetta was TO DIE for! The calamari was also quite good, and the salmon with the lemon-butter sauce was SUPERB. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also great, and the staff was nice and friendly. I give this place a 10-- I will DEFINITELY be coming back here!
Posted on Citysearch on: 6/4/2004
Recommended by a friend, I was more than pleased with the results. The service was great, our waiter was especially attentive making suggestions for us along the way. From the bread to the entree's, everything was excellent. I was with a large party so there were plenty of different plates on the table. I especially recommend the Lasange-Prawn combination. It's the best of both worlds. The prawns were loaded with garlic essence and the lasagne was reminiscent of my homemade masterpiece. It's a little out of the way as far as location but it would not hinder me from frequenting the restaurant. Prices are comparable to any other upscale restaurant and definitely worth the money

TOLEDO, OHIO (WTOL) - If you're planning your summer vacation, you could be in for sticker shock. Airfares are taking off, just as the summer travel season does.
Everyone wants a deal, but finding cheap tickets is getting tougher.
"This year's different than any other year," said Sarah Rosenberger, a travel consultant with Central Travel. She says ticket prices are, on average, up $50 each and now fluctuate seemingly without rhyme or reason.
"It can change in a day, it can change in an hour, so it's all over the place right now," Rosenberger said.
Rosenberger says being flexible with your travel dates is key to getting a good deal. She recommends traveling mid-week - Tuesday or Wednesday - to save money.
"They are not only less expensive, but they tend to have better availability, so if you can avoid the weekends, that's your best bet," Rosenberger said.
Also be flexible with the airports you fly to and from. Instead of just looking at flights from Toledo Express or Detroit Metro, cast a wider net.
"We have so many airports that are in the general vicinity," Rosenberger said. "You may have to drive for two hours, but if you can save a couple hundred dollars, a lot of people are very happy to do so, especially if a family is traveling."
Booking at least three weeks ahead will typically get you a pretty good deal. Many sales are posted late on Mondays or early Tuesdays. To keep track of a specific route, consider signing up for fare alerts.
Some travel sites now have fare tracker tools.
Kayak has a fare chart that graphs historical prices, and Bing Travel predicts whether or not it's a good time to buy.
With the Orbitz Deal Detector, you can receive alerts if the price of a specific trip dips below a level you set. Farecompare and Airfarewatchdog are also good sites for finding cheap flights.

FORT MYERS, FL (WINK/CNN) - A family of five was shot to death - the result of what sheriff's deputies say was a murder-suicide on Sunday.
Investigators say a father shot his three young daughters and their mother before taking his own life. The girls were between the ages of 2 and 10.
A neighbor says she heard what sounded like festive activity at the home around the time of the deadly shootings.
"We heard the girls laugh and the little girls - heard, you know, all of them laughing and talking," the unnamed neighbor said. "I heard the music go from like, five to maybe 10? I just heard it go fttt and then it just stopped. There - there was nothing. I heard nothing, no noise – silent, dead silent. And then at 4:45, the cops were at the door."
Authorities say the parents had no known criminal records. They're still trying to determine what led to the killings.

Cosequin plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. Healthy articular (joint) cartilage is crucial to joint utility. Cosequin helps support cartilage production and protect existing cartilage from breakdown. Cosequin is the only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement that has been shown safe, effective, and bioavailable in peer-reviewed, published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies. Cosequin is manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the pharmaceutical industry.
Chondroitin is often given along with glucosamine because its use has been shown to possibly increase the efficacy of the glucosamine. Glucosamine is an easily-absorbed, natural supplement that may help maintain the health and resiliency of joints and their connective tissues. It may also help to prevent cartilage degeneration in dogs suffering from arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the cushions that surrounds each joint becomes thin and stiff. Glucosamine may help supply the materials needed to rebuild the cushion.
Maganese Help your body utilize several key nutrients such as biotin, thiamin, ascorbic acid, and choline
• Keep your bones strong and healthy
• Help your body synthesize fatty acids and cholestorol
• Maintain normal blood sugar levels
• Promote optimal function of your thyroid gland
• Maintain the health of your nerves
• Protect your cells from free-radical damage
This joint mobility supplement is vet-recommended and formulated scientifically for the long-term maintenance of cartilage. It stops the enzymes that cause cartilage deterioration and can demonstrated improved joint function and mobility in as few as six weeks, providing both short and long-term benefits for strong, healthy joints.
Nutramax Laboratories utilizes standards that are similar to those followed in the production and manufacturing of health supplements for humans for their pet products, ensuring that your dog is provided with the safest and most reliable joint health supplement possible.

Daily Star
---- —
The old-timers used to say, "You get Walton Fair, Labor Day and winter in that order and that close together."
It's hard to believe that summer is gone already. It seems that I was getting our camper ready for a summer of fun just a few days ago. Now, it's already winding down.
Before long, I'll be closing it up for winter. Heck, I bought my winter ski pass to Belleayre Mountain the other day.
Where does the time go? Is it the fast-paced life that we live or do we try to cram too many things into such a short amount of time? My grandfather used to say, "Time doesn't go by any faster, we just get used to the routine."
Believe it or not, winter is just around the corner. Early bear season starts in the Adirondacks on the 15th of this month, and archery season for deer around here begins Oct. 1.
I wonder what kind of a winter we'll be having. After all, there was only man-made snow on the slopes last year. There wasn't enough snow for guys to run their snow machines, and this past summer wasn't any better. The creeks are lower than I've ever seen them because of the lack of rain.
Usually when we camp at West Canada Creek north of Utica, we kayak and float the river with tubes. Not this year. The water was down three or four feet and there were more sections of gravel than water. People who tried floating it dragged their canoes and kayaks farther than they paddled them.
So what's the forecast of things to come? Last year, the trees were bent right to the ground with an overabundance of apples. Everyone said that was a sign of a hard winter. There are no apples this year, but the oak trees have plenty of acorns. Is that a sign?
I had an old gentleman tell me the other day that we're going to have a long winter because the pine cones are falling early _ before they got a chance to open up.
Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with a winter forecast. The pine trees in my yard started losing its cones weeks ago, far ahead of schedule, and many of the trees in the woods look like they're dying. A lot of the leaves on the maples and oaks have turned brown. Whole sections of the trees seem to be dead.
I think it's the lack of water. Parts of the trees are shutting down, so the pine cones are falling to allow what moisture there is to nurture the rest of the tree.
Do these things have anything to do with winter? Probably not. The Farmer's Almanac says we're going to have quite a bit of snow and cold this winter. Well, we usually do here in the northeast, so that's no big surprise.
The almanac uses a 100-year average to predict the weather. So when you average in all the snow and cold we used to get, well, you see where this is going.
One thing is for sure, we'll have weather this winter and there's nothing we can do about it. We take what we get. I just hope we have lots of snow because those new skis I bought last year didn't get a lot of use.
For those of you who hate winter, there's a reason. You don't like to do anything outside once the snow starts to fall. Take up a winter sport and it will change your whole outlook about winter.
But don't worry; in just a short time, spring will be just around the corner.
What's Happening?
The Gilbertsville Rod and Gun Club's youth shoot, trap shoot and chicken barbecue is Saturday. For more information, call Bob Manwarren at 607-859-2526. The club will hold its last 3D archery shoot of the season Sept. 16. Sign-ups run from 7-11 a.m.

As revised, September 2007 and approved by the Library & Technology Committee, November 9, 2007; collection levels revised May 2009
I. Overview
The Duke University School of Law Library is part of Duke Law School Information Services (DLSIS), which also includes the Law School Educational Technologies and Computing Services departments. The overall mission of DLSIS is:
To provide an innovative and comprehensive information environment for study and scholarship to prepare Duke Law students for responsible and productive lives in the legal profession and to support the Law School's national and international leadership in improving the law and legal institutions through teaching, research, and public service.
In support of the DLSIS mission, the law library's primary collection development goal is to provide access to rich collections of electronic and print resources for legal research and scholarship.1 To achieve this goal, the law library relies increasingly on electronic sources of legal information while continuing to develop and maintain in house collections of print and other resources to support research and scholarship at the law school and university.
Duke University is distinguished by interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship and learning, with many formal and informal bridges between departments and schools. Because nearly any field of study can have a legal component, the law school is an active participant in Duke's interdisciplinary programs and initiatives. As a result, the law library serves not only as a library for the law faculty and students, but as a law library for the entire Duke community. Our collections provide access to a broad range of resources on law and on law's intersections with other disciplines. Internationalization is also an area of emphasis for Duke University and the law school. Because nearly every area of legal study is enhanced by consideration of comparative or international perspectives, the law library maintains strong foreign and international law collections to support research in these areas.
In addition to developing its own electronic and print collections, the law library actively participates in campus, regional, and national programs for cooperative collection sharing and development, including the Triangle Research Libraries Network, the Consortium of Southeastern Law Libraries, and the New England Law Library Consortium. Campus-wide access to legal literature, increasingly via reliance on electronic databases, is provided through cooperative programs of the Duke University Libraries.
Legal information is published in a variety of electronic formats, as well as print and microform. Increasingly, the law library relies on electronic resources in order to provide broader access to information, and enhanced searching and retrieval capabilities. To provide the greatest flexibility in use and ensure permanent and reliable access to core resources, the library collects some materials in multiple formats. Choice of format is guided by considerations of the nature of the resource, usability, long-term access, the benefits of ownership versus licensing, as well as cost.
Electronic materials and titles in multiple formats pose new challenges for researchers both in identifying sources of information and accessing them. The library strives to facilitate value-added access to electronic materials selected for the collection through the online catalog and its open URL link resolver and database management components, through web pages, and through Blackboard course sites.
In addition to these general considerations, specific criteria for choice of format vary depending on the type of material, its attributes and patterns of use. These are noted in the appropriate sections that follow.
II. Collections
A. Primary Sources of Law
1. United States
Primary sources of law are authoritative statements of legal rules.2 In the United States, the primary sources of law for both federal and state jurisdictions are issued by governmental bodies with the authority to make law: legislatures, courts, and executive agencies. The sources include constitutions, legislation, court opinions, court rules, and administrative rules and decisions. Because they too are issued by governmental bodies, related materials, such as attorney general opinions and legislative history materials, are also included in this category for collection purposes.
Because these sources are fundamental to legal research and scholarship, and are heavily used by faculty, students and other researchers, the law library holds a comprehensive collection of primary source materials for U.S. law in multiple formats. The library strives to collect and maintain nearly all official primary sources of law for federal and state jurisdictions, as well as selected commercial versions of these materials to enhance access and usability. Print and electronic indexes and other finding tools provide access to these primary sources and related materials. In part, the law library achieves its collection goals for federal primary source materials through its participation in the Federal Library Depository Program. U.S. primary sources are available in a variety of electronic formats, including commercial databases, and government web sites. Currently, nearly all official sources for primary materials are print versions, and methods for ensuring trustworthiness of electronic documents are not well developed.3 Therefore, print resources continue to be collected as official and trustworthy documents for reliable permanent access. As practices and preferences change, the policy is re-evaluated. Other selection preferences for print include the use of the resource for instructional purposes, print's usefulness for some research tasks (primarily statutory research), and instances when a text is lengthy and reliance on other formats would require frequent and extensive printing.
Microforms are selected in limited circumstances when they provide significant space savings, are the only form of publication, or provide a backup to print holdings for titles of highest importance. Digital collections with page images are increasingly available for US primary sources and are chosen in preference to microfiche when they meet that and other criteria.
2. Foreign Jurisdictions
As in the United States, the primary sources of law in foreign jurisdictions include court reports, constitutions, statutes and regulations emanating from courts, legislatures and other official bodies. Only works in the vernacular are considered to be primary sources. The relative authority of the sources varies by country and by the type of legal system in place. In civil law countries, for example, court reports, although important, have traditionally been considered to be non-binding.
The law library's collection development philosophy for foreign primary materials is to develop a focused collection which builds on our historic strengths (e.g., the U.K. and other common law jurisdictions), is representative of major civil law and common law jurisdictions throughout the world, reflects the research interests of Duke Law faculty and students, and supports the curriculum.
To meet these goals, the library collects and maintains current and retrospective foreign law materials with the intensity of collecting guided by collection levels assigned to each country. Definitions describe the primary and secondary sources included for each collection level. Language and difficulty in obtaining materials for some jurisdictions also affects the collection level.
See Collecting Levels for Foreign Jurisdictions (Appendix B)
3. Public International Law
Public international law is the law governing the relationships between national governments and intergovernmental organizations.4 The sources of public international law include treaties, customary law (actions of states and intergovernmental institutions as evidence of general practice accepted as law), general principles of domestic law (e.g. res judicata); jurisprudence of both national courts and international tribunals, and the teachings of eminent international law scholars.5 Primary source materials include treaties, and documents emanating from the legislative and adjudicatory organs of international governmental associations, including both legal acts (decisions, resolutions, directives, etc.), and decisions of international tribunals. The law library collects international primary materials in order to advance the internationalization goals of the university and the law school, and to support the research interests of Duke Law School faculty and students, and the curriculum. Access to current and retrospective materials is provided with the intensity of collecting guided by the collecting level for the organization and type of material.
See Collecting Levels for International Law (Appendix C)
B. Secondary Sources
Secondary sources are materials about the law, used to explain, interpret, develop, or locate and update primary sources.6 A broad variety of books and treatises, journals, encyclopedias, reference materials, and finding tools are included in this category. The library collects and provides access to secondary sources on legal subjects for the United States and foreign jurisdictions, as well on topics of comparative and international law. The intensity of collecting for specific subjects is guided by law faculty research interests, major areas of specialization within the law school curriculum and programs, and legal aspects of interdisciplinary research and initiatives across the University.
The focus of the Duke Law Library collections of secondary sources is on scholarly materials in support of the research and curricular needs of the law school. The library collects only selected practice-oriented materials to support the training of students in clinical programs and skills courses, and to maintain a collection of materials applicable to the practice of law in North Carolina. Materials aimed at student readers are collected if they focus on substantive discussion of course topics, or serve as introductory treatises.
Materials on the law written for non-professional audiences, including the Duke community and members of the general public, are also collected selectively, emphasizing materials on the U.S. Supreme Court, overviews of American legal issues and noteworthy cases, and self-help books for the non-business community. Basic form books, and standard legal research tools, such as encyclopedias, are provided for use by researchers at all levels. Electronic access to resources is provided on site for the general public unless prohibited by licensing agreements.
See Appendices for specific collecting intensities.
Collecting Levels for Secondary Sources (Appendix A)
Collecting Levels for Foreign Jurisdictions (Appendix B)
Collecting Levels for International Law (Appendix C)
1. Treatises and other Books
Legal treatises are traditionally defined as expositions on particular subjects of the law, published in book form.7 Treatises and other books and monographs in law are often written for a particular audience including scholars, practitioners, law students, and laypersons. They vary in publication format and updating patterns.
a. Monographs
Scholarly monographs are written on relatively narrow topics, and are rarely updated. They are often published by university presses and are similar to scholarly works in other disciplines.8 Monographs are published predominantly in print, often in short runs, and are often difficult to obtain after they are first published.
The library selects broadly and deeply in monographs from scholarly and authoritative publishers in accordance with subject level intensities. Both law and law-related titles reflecting law's intersections with other disciplines are collected. Titles that duplicate holdings of other Duke libraries may be selected in areas of strong interdisciplinary interest
Individual monographs are not actively collected in electronic format because of the limited range of law-related titles available, users' resistance to reading lengthy material on computer screens, and the consequent need for extensive printing. However, digital collections of historical treatises are actively licensed since they are often otherwise unavailable in print. Many treatises are also accessible through commercial databases. In addition, the law community has access to a wide range of e-books through the Duke University Libraries subscriptions.
Individual title access to monographs included in digital collections is provided through the catalog. Titles in commercial databases such as LexisNexis and Westlaw or others with law only access are not treated in this way given the campus wide coverage of the catalog, and because they are more frequently identified by users directly through these databases.
b. Multi-volume, supplemented treatises and loose-leaf services
Legal treatises designed for regular supplementation serve several audiences. Some are core works on broad topics used by scholars, practitioners and students. Others, particularly those that are heavily supplemented, are intended for use by practicing attorneys. Titles in this category are selected when they provide the main resources in an area, or are useful to introduce students to resources used in the practice of law, or when the title is expected to be used mainly as an entire work. Print editions are preferred for permanence and ease of use for topics at higher collecting levels, even if they duplicate titles available in databases.
The term "loose-leaf service" is specialized type of secondary source, usually published in multiple volumes, containing a mix of news, commentary, case reporting, and administrative materials kept up to date on a regular and frequent basis. They are increasingly published in electronic format. The library relies almost exclusively on electronic access to these materials, but continues to maintain print format for some subjects.
c. State treatise and practice materials
Other than for North Carolina, secondary source materials from U.S. states are generally not purchased except for the highest level subject areas, faculty interest, or when the topic is specific to the jurisdiction, such as Delaware for corporation law. However, all treatises on North Carolina law from reputable publishers are acquired, including legal practice titles. Books published by the American Bar Association and included in their package plan, along with a very limited selection of CLE materials are also acquired in order to provide a basic collection of materials on practice topics and the legal profession.
d. Student texts
Student texts provide introductory overview treatments of a topic, without detailed analysis or extensive case references.9 The library collects student texts that emphasize substantive discussion of topics covered in the law school curriculum, usually subscribing to publisher series of approved texts. Books on how to take exams and introductions to the law school experience are also collected selectively. Duplicate copies of current editions are provided based on level of use, with one copy of superseded titles retained. Commercial course outlines and materials written exclusively to assist students in preparing for course or bar examinations are generally not collected unless recommend by faculty.
e. Casebooks
Casebooks are usually added only when authored or edited by law school faculty members, received as gifts, or recommended as important general texts on a topic. Casebooks or other required texts for law school courses are generally not purchased because of their limited research value and the difficulties of meeting student demand for assigned texts with one or two copies.
2. Periodicals
Legal periodicals are of several types, published for both general and specialized audiences. The most prominent form is the law review, the primary outlet for legal scholarship and commentary, which in the US is published at law schools. Legal journals from commercial publishers usually focus on current issues of interest to practicing lawyers or specialized audiences. Selection of journals usually involves a long term commitment to purchase, binding and storage. Other forms of periodicals are used for current awareness and recent developments and have less permanent value to the collection.
As the primary source of legal scholarship and commentary, the law review collection has especially high value for both current reading and historical research. The library provides multiple formats and access methods for a broad range of law and law-related journals. Print supports routing to faculty and is the basis for the permanent historical collection. Electronic access supports broad access for both remote and campus-wide use, and is increasingly the choice of researchers for its ease of retrieval and copying.
Online access is always acquired for print subscriptions when available and cost is reasonable. Page image sources are given highest collecting priority to support page citation to the final published version. Access through journal aggregators is rarely relied on as the only or primary source for journals because of concerns about long-term reliable access and incomplete coverage. Electronic-only access is preferred for materials that contain primarily current information with less permanent value, or infrequently used sources.
Access to e-journals is provided in the same manner as print resources via the online catalog, as well as through campus open URL link resolver services. The law library coordinates with other campus libraries to monitor duplication, purchase digital archive access, and explore the most advantageous pricing models for electronic offerings.
a. Law journals
The library subscribes to one copy of nearly all scholarly journals indexed in Current Law Index and the Index to Legal Periodicals and Books. Scholarly journals from organizations, societies, and commercial publishers are collected more selectively than those published at law schools, based on subject collecting levels and the journal's importance to the area of law covered.
The need for multiple print copies has decreased due to increasing reliance on electronic sources. Duplicate print copies are purchased for a small number of frequently cited journals if needed for faculty routing (but not retained and bound), and for law reviews published at North Carolina law schools in order to ensure their availability to all audiences.
b. Journals from other disciplines
Electronic access to a wide range of journal literature and improved intra-campus document delivery for print titles have greatly reduced the need for subscriptions to journals held elsewhere on campus. The library subscribes selectively in print to a few titles held at other campus libraries based on faculty interest, routing and curricular needs but these are not usually bound and retained. In some cases, the law library is the only library on campus with print holdings in disciplines related to law.
c. Bar association materials
The library's periodical holdings include a range of bar association and other professional materials in a mix of formats. All journals and newsletter publications of the ABA and state bar journals are received in print. State bar journals are retained in microfiche. Journals from prominent international and foreign bar organizations are also collected.
d. Newsletters
Newsletters contain content such as case summaries, short items on issues of current interest, and announcements, much of which is of little interest for scholarly or historical research; they are generally not included in standard legal periodical indexes. Electronic access is preferred for newsletters of all types. Print subscriptions are acquired only if routed to interested faculty and copies are retained only for a limited time.
e. Leisure Reading
The library maintains a collection of recently published popular and news magazines, national legal newspapers, and national and local newspapers for current reading only. Suggestions for titles are regularly solicited from students for this collection. For historical research in newspapers and magazines of general interest, the library relies on campus collections of databases and microform sources. Databases are also relied on for legal newspapers.
C. Special Collections
1. Riddick Collections
Dr. Floyd M. Riddick, Parliamentarian Emeritus of the United States Senate and a Duke alumnus, and Marguerite F. Riddick were primary benefactors of the law library. In addition to their support for construction and furnishing of the Rare Books and Special Collections Room, the Riddicks established an endowment to support the library's collections in the areas of legislative and parliamentary procedure, and American government.
Dr. Riddick also donated major portions of his own library to Duke. These materials are organized in four groups: the Senatorial Collection (books written and autographed by U.S. Senators and other politicians), the Parliamentary Collection (materials on parliamentary procedure), the Congressional Collection (U.S. Senate materials), and selections from his personal library.
2. Rare Books
There are approximately 1,600 volumes in the Duke Law Library rare book collection, which is housed in the Marguerite F. and Floyd M. Riddick Rare Book and Special Collections Room. Rare books have been defined as books having value aside from, or in addition to, the intellectual content of the text for example, works that are old, unique or which contain interesting inscriptions. The collection consists primarily of English books published before 1800, American serials published before 1820 and American monographs published before 1870, with a focus on early North Carolina law books. Most of the works in this collection were gathered from review of the library's general collections for materials published during these time periods and meeting the criteria as a rare book. A project is now in progress to evaluate the strengths of the current collection and potential areas of interest for further development.
3. Christie Collection in Jurisprudence
This collection, established in 1973, is named in honor of Professor George C. Christie, James B. Duke Professor of Law and consists of treatises on jurisprudence and legal philosophy. The collection is intended to promote the scholarly study of legal philosophy. Monographs on jurisprudence and legal philosophy are collected at a comprehensive level.
4. Cox Legal Fiction Collection
In 1987, Brainerd Currie Professor of Law James D. Cox donated funds he received as recipient of the Duke Bar Association Distinguished Teaching Award to purchase novels and other fiction involving lawyers or legal themes. Professor Cox has continued to contribute funds annually for this collection. The collection is designed to highlight law in popular culture and "in the hope that a fiction collection with some connection to the law may well spark students and others to enjoy a pleasant diversion while rationalizing it as field work." The library also selects popular films with lawyers as characters or law related themes in DVD format for this collection.
5. Duke Law School Publications
a. Faculty Collection
All non-journal article publications of the Duke Law governing faculty published during their appointment in the Law School (other than journal articles) are acquired and maintained in a separate Faculty Collection. When a faculty-authored item is acquired for the general collection, a second copy is purchased for the Faculty Collection. The collection includes titles authored or edited by faculty members, and books with contributions by the faculty (excepting short contributions to multi-volume encyclopedias).
b. Faculty Scholarship Repository
The library developed and maintains the Faculty Scholarship Repository, using an open access (OAI-compliant) archive of the texts of most article-length publications by faculty members. The repository also includes SJD theses, and contributions from the Duke Law Student Paper Series. Publications in individual bibliographies of Duke Law faculty members are linked to the articles in the repository.
c. Law School events
Events sponsored by the Law School, including conferences, panel discussions, special lectures and other events sponsored by or held at the Law School have been regularly recorded since 1999 and webcast since 2002. The library catalogs the recordings of these events, enhancing access with subject and speaker information, and is responsible for permanently archiving digital versions in the university's off-site storage facility. A project is currently underway to digitize earlier VHS-formatted material so that it can be more effectively preserved and accessed.
d. Law school history
The Duke University Archives is the official repository for records of Duke University, including the law school. To provide local access, the law library collects and maintains copies of many of the publications and historical documents of the law school and library, and preserves them as part of our collection. This material includes bulletins, yearbooks, prior exams, memorabilia and miscellaneous historical documents and reports. A web based timeline on the history of the Law School will be made publicly accessible in fall 2007 and will be enhanced with additional materials from this collection.
6. North Carolina Materials
Legal materials from North Carolina are collected in order to support the curriculum and the needs of the Law School's clinics, the local bar, and the community in researching N.C. law; and to participate with other law libraries in the state in preserving legal materials for North Carolina. Secondary sources, including practice oriented materials, are collected more broadly than for other states or topics. Duplicate copies of print materials for primary sources, and print citators are also held. The library maintains a strong historical collection of all North Carolina materials.
All treatises on North Carolina law from established publishers are acquired, including legal practice titles. Standing orders for continuing legal education materials from the state bar and non-commercial sponsors, annual reports from state bar committees, and selected reports of government agencies are collected. Duplicate copies in print of the law journals published at all North Carolina law schools are collected and retained.
7. Pamphlet and Miscellaneous Documents Collections
The pamphlet collection is an historical collection consisting of legal and non legal Anglo American pamphlets dating from approximately 1765 through 1968. The pamphlets are assembled and bound by size, without regard to subject matter, and numbered in a single series. Each pamphlet is fully cataloged. A similarly organized collection of miscellaneous government documents related to law, or considered of high interest at the time of publication, covers the period from approximately 1880 through 1975.
III. Format Policies
A. Licensed Databases and Digital Archives
The library subscribes to a range of over 30 legal databases for both general use, and for specific subjects or countries. Highest priority in database selection is given to image-based content, resources that enhance the print collections, and those that greatly improve search capabilities and access. Campus-wide access is negotiated whenever possible, and where the nature of the content suggests broad interest. In addition, the Law School community has access to over 400 databases made available through the Duke University Libraries.
B. Microforms
Microforms are unpopular with researchers and are often difficult and inconvenient to explore and print. Microforms do have advantages in space savings, preservation and at times cost. The library collects materials in microform very selectively for infrequently used materials, mainly as a duplicate format and to provide permanent access in economical space for materials such as, records and briefs, legal newspapers, selected U.S. government and congressional documents, and international organization documents. About 30 percent of the library's overall volume count is in microform volume equivalents. Many of the materials previously collected in this format are now available in digital collections. The library actively investigates replacing or duplicating microfiche holdings with digital products as they become available.
C. CD-ROMs
Materials in CD-ROM are not selected unless exceptional circumstances exist. Exceptions are: North Carolina primary materials that are received free from the publisher and allow electronic search and discovery otherwise not available to some patrons; titles received in the depository selection; and titles containing content only available in this format. CD-ROMs that accompany, supplement, or duplicate print material are kept with the material.
D. Audio and Video
Externally-produced audio and video materials are collected primarily to support teaching and enhance course-related resources. Because of licensing issues and the challenges audio and video pose for use and preservation over long time periods, these materials are acquired very selectively, usually only when requested by faculty for use in courses, or if they contain documentary type content that is of long term value.

E. Free Internet Resources
Web distribution plays an increasingly important role in providing legal information from local, national and international governments and organizations. Freely available sources may also continue or duplicate titles held in other formats. Web search engines and other web related finding tools remain the primary method for identifying law related resources freely available on the web. Catalog links are provided for web resources that meet the library's general criteria for selecting resources, make significant additions to the collection or aid researchers in identifying the resource, and if it appears that the web site is reliable for future use. The library also adds value by making relevant topical materials prominent through web pages and special research guides.
IV. Collection Organization and Maintenance
A. Reference Collection
This collection gathers sources for quick consultation for both law and non-law topics, guidance for further research, and gathering current, general information. It includes standard reference sources such as encyclopedias, U.S. and foreign legal and general dictionaries, directories, citation guides, style manuals and statistical sources, state legal research guides, indexes to legal periodical literature, general sources on significant topics or cases in American law, U.S. Supreme Court data, biographical sources, finding tools for government documents, and standard reference sources for other disciplines. The collection also contains basic legal self help tools to provide lay users with general information about common legal matters. The collection is reviewed and updated regularly.
B. Reserves
A small collection of permanent and course reserves is located in the circulation area. Permanent reserves include materials used in a manner that requires limited circulation due to high demand or use in connection with courses, as well as introductory texts so that they are easy to identify. It includes student texts, such as hornbooks and nutshells, basic treatises for first year courses, legal research and writing materials, and a selection of titles about attending law school and taking exams. Books and single copies of other materials may be placed on reserve for a particular course at the request of the instructor. The library does not maintain electronic reserves. The University and the Law School encourage faculty to post course-related materials through the Blackboard course management software.
C. Library Service Center
The law library uses the University's Library Service Center (LSC) for off-site housing of low-use materials that can be easily identified for retrieval (e.g. state session laws, official state reporters, second copies of other reporters). Twice daily delivery of materials from the facility provides excellent access to this material as well as appropriate conditions for preservation.
V. Gift Policy
Donors contribute to strengthening the collections and fulfilling the mission of the law library through their financial support and gifts of books, and other library materials. Generally, books about legal and law related subjects are accepted that fit within the scope of the collections. Duplicate copies are evaluated on a case-by case basis. Donors are advised that acceptance is conditional. The law library reserves the right to retain or dispose of the gift materials as it deems appropriate.
A list of gifts in kind is provided annually to any faculty member requesting one. A letter acknowledging the receipt of materials is sent to non-faculty donors and items are book-plated with the donor's name. Under tax law, the library is not permitted to assess value or make appraisals for donated materials.
Appendix A - Collecting Levels for Secondary Sources
The level definitions used here are adapted from the Association of Research Libraries and Research Libraries Group and have been refined for the Duke Law Library's collections.
[1] BASIC: A collection of up-to-date general materials that serve to introduce and define a subject and to indicate the varieties of information available elsewhere. In addition to important treatises and introductory books, it may include access to appropriate bibliographic data bases, historical surveys, bibliographies, and a few widely used periodicals on the subject. A collection at this level supports general research and brief examination of a topic.
[2] BASIC ACADEMIC SUPPORT: A broader selection of materials for a subject is provided on a wider range of topics with more depth. This collection would include a greater variety of material such as explanatory and reference works, analytical works, a range of periodicals and historical descriptions. Subjects are often included in this category due to a strong legal component in an interdisciplinary area, a developing academic interest in the area, or special library funding supporting the area above a basic level.
[3] INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT: A collection that is adequate to support law school and graduate instruction, or sustained independent study and generalized examination of a topic. An instructional legal collection includes most primary sources, a significant number of monographs, selected treatises that are regularly updated, retrospective and historical works, a selection of specialized journals, access to appropriate non-bibliographic databases, and the reference tools and fundamental bibliographical apparatus pertaining to the subject. This level may include some practitioners' materials and authoritative multi-jurisdictional titles.
[4] RESEARCH: A collection that includes the major sources in a defined area necessary to do extensive research including materials required for dissertations and independent research. A research level legal collection includes materials that allow for extensive research, seminar level research and writing, and most faculty research needs. It also supports journal publication and editing. It includes an extensive range and more specialized secondary sources, nearly all monographs in the area, and a range of specialized databases. This level includes representative practitioners' titles, and materials for most jurisdictions. Pertinent foreign language materials are included. Older material is retained for historical research.
[5] COMPREHENSIVE: A collection that includes, so far as is reasonably possible, all significant works for a defined field, including extensive historical collections. While this level of collection intensity does not rise to that of a "special collection," the aim is to anticipate and serve research needs of faculty and any academic researcher. Some exclusions and omissions will occur, but these will be limited. Such a collection includes all significant current and historical secondary legal materials, and may include manuscripts, and material on related non-legal aspects. Subjects at this level may result from maintaining historical collection strengths, matching the strengths of the law school curriculum and programs, or supporting special interests of the community.

Appendix B - Collecting Levels for Foreign Jurisdictions
The levels for foreign jurisdictions have the same definitions as those in Collecting Levels for Secondary Sources modified to more accurately describe primary and secondary foreign legal materials. The collecting levels apply here to the jurisdiction, rather than to a subject.
Only works in the vernacular are considered to be primary sources. In common law jurisdictions, the primary sources of law are statutes and cases. In civil law countries, codes are primary (i.e. binding) sources of law. Traditionally, court reports, although important, are considered to be non-binding. Journals and treatises are considered secondary sources in all jurisdictions. See, e.g., Alan Watson, The Making of the Civil Law 168-178 (1981).
Primary Materials: The Library does not collect codes or court reports.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects English-language secondary works only. The Library collects general works on the legal system and on major subject areas (e.g., constitutional law) in English.
Primary Materials: The Library collects selected codes or collections of statutes based on subject. The Library collects court reports from the highest court in common law jurisdictions.
Secondary Materials: The Library does not collect any court reports for civil law jurisdictions. The Library collects selected English translations of codes based on subject, general works on the legal system, and works on major subject areas, such as contracts, business law, etc. Secondary works in both English and major European languages are collected.
Primary Materials: The Library collects major codes or collections of statutes based on subject and court reports from the highest court, and selected reports from lower courts in common law jurisdictions.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects selected court reports from civil law jurisdictions, and translations of codes and court reports. The Library collects works on the legal system and on selected subjects. The Library does not select practitioners' materials, unless essential to a subject area, and collects expensive monographs and serials selectively. The Library collects secondary works in English and the vernacular.
Primary Materials: The Library collects most codes or collections of statutes for both civil law and common law jurisdictions, and collects most court reports in common law countries.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects most court reports in civil law countries, English translations of codes and court reports, works on the legal system and on wide variety of specialized subjects. The Library selects only the most important treatises or other materials requiring frequent supplementation, and collects expensive monographs and serials selectively. The Library does not select practitioners' materials unless essential to a subject area. The Library collects secondary works in English and the vernacular.
Primary Materials: The Library collects all codes or collections of statutes, and reports from all courts in common law jurisdictions.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects reports from all courts in civil law jurisdictions, translations of codes and court reports into English, works in English on all aspects of the legal system, and works in major languages on important aspects of the legal system.

Appendix C - Collecting Levels for International Law
The levels for international governmental organizations (or IGOs) have the same definitions as those in Collecting Levels for Secondary Sources modified to describe primary and secondary legal materials more accurately. The collecting levels here apply to the organization, rather than to a subject.
Types of primary legal materials from IGOs include treaties, charters, legal acts (e.g. decisions, resolutions, directives, etc.), decisions of tribunals, etc. Many IGOs also publish secondary materials such as yearbooks and annual reports, technical reports, monographs, periodicals, and press releases.
The law library does not systematically collect materials from IGOs that do not publish legal materials; however, materials from these organizations may be purchased if they fit subject criteria for the library's general collection development policy.
Primary Materials: The Library does not collect primary materials.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects general works on the organization and works on major subject areas (e.g., human rights) in English.
Primary Materials: The Library collects selectively.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects general works on the organization and works on major subject areas, such as trade or the environment in English and major European languages.
Primary Materials: The Library collects selectively.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects works on the organization in general and on selected specialized subjects. The Library collects secondary works in English and major languages.
Primary Materials: The Library collects most primary sources.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects works on the organization in general and on a wide variety of specialized subjects. Loose-leaf treatises or other materials requiring frequent supplementation, and expensive monographs and serials are collected selectively. Practitioners' materials are not selected unless essential to a subject area. The Library collects secondary works in English and major languages.
Primary Materials: The Library collects all available primary materials.
Secondary Materials: The Library collects all important works on all aspects of the organization's legal activities. The Library collects secondary works in English and major languages.

1. The history of the early years of collection development is traced in William R. Roalfe, The Duke University Law Library: An Account of Its Development, 35 Law Libr. J. 41, 42-45 (1942).
2. Roy M. Mersky & Donald J. Dunn, Fundamentals of Legal Research 10 (8th ed. 2002).
3. See e.g., Richard J. Matthews & Mary Alice Baish, State-by-State Report on Authentication of Online Legal Resources (2007). The report concludes that although a significant number of state online resources are official, none are authenticated or afford ready authentication by standard methods. State online primary legal resources are, therefore, not sufficiently trustworthy.
4. Private international law (often referred to as "conflict of laws") governs the choice of law to apply when there are conflicts in the domestic law of different nations related to private transactions (such as contracts, marriage and divorce, recognition of judgments, etc.) The intensity of collecting of private international law materials is guided by the collection policy for secondary sources.
5. Article 38 (1) of the Statute of the International Court of Justice provides the classic formulation of the sources of international law:
"The Court, whose function is to decide in accordance with international law such disputes as are submitted to it, shall apply:
a. international conventions, whether general or particular, establishing rules expressly recognized by the contesting states;
b. international custom, as evidence of a general practice accepted as law;
c. the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations;
d. subject to the provisions of Article 5 judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists of the various nations, as subsidiary means for the determination of rules of law."

August 1, 2014
UWSP (7-0) trailed 28-25 at halftime, but Heuer scored eight of the Pointers' first nine points in the second half to knot the game at 34.
A three-pointer by Trevor Hass (New London, WI/New London/Augustana (SD)) gave the Pointers a 37-34 advantage and UWSP held on to the lead for the rest of the game.
The Vikings (6-1) cut the UWSP lead to one point with just over seven minutes remaining in the second half, but a Heuer layup assisted by Tyler Tillema (Randolph, WI/Randolph) started a 7-2 run to give the Pointers some breathing room.
The Pointers turned the ball over just seven times as the defense forced 17 Augustana turnovers.
Tillema finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Hass added 13 points.
The Pointers travel to UW-Whitewater Wednesday, Dec. 12 in a battle of unbeaten Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference rivals. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Our Followers
We are a diverse group of Olim, recent-arrivals as well as vatikim from all over the country who are deeply concerned about the safety, security and future of Israel. Most importantly, we want to see a President in the White House who will support and stand by Israel in absolute commitment to its safety, security and right to defend itself.
Since we believe that 'there is no such thing as friends in politics, only interests,' we started thinking about how to be proactive about this. One fact that caught our eye was that while the 2000 Bush-Gore Presidential elections all came down to 537 absentee ballots cast in Florida, only 64 of those - out of the many thousands of Floridian-Israelis - were cast from Israel!

Research on Offender Decision-Making
Funding Source:
National Institute of Justice
Monday, June 17, 2013
Number of Awards Available:
Anyone can apply.
The study of adult offender decision-making has typically been approached from the rational choice model. With this solicitation NIJ seeks to expand the existing research by examining the process of adult offender decision-making with respect to the decision to offend. NIJ requests proposals that either expand the rational choice model or use other theories (e.g., behavioral economics, business models, psychology, or cognitive models) or both. Proposed research also should consider issues such as social context, emotions, default choices, or possibly environmental context to help the field gain a better understanding of the overall decision-making process.

With the launch of our new website at sayyeah.com we added a simple contact form to allow interested people to get in touch with us. From the moment the site went live, the most interested people getting in touch were spambots.
100s of messages quickly flooded Lee's mailbox. Instead of prospective clients, he was inundated by offers for discount Michael Kors handbags, apparently being sold from a small fishing charter company and a diabetes care website (among many others).
We needed a way to block these useless submissions without adding any additional user requirements to fill out the form, such as captchas or simple math problems.
So how did we handle this challenge?
There's a growing trend across North America and beyond of users moving from desktop, to tablet, to phone throughout the day, depending on where they are and what they're looking to accomplish.
With all of these screens in play, and the context of use shifting based on being at work, at home, or on the go, it's important to understand and design for the user's intent across multiple screens and devices.
