Brooklyn Nets forward Andray Blatche was questioned by Philadelphia police, but not charged, as part of a sexual assault investigation at an upscale hotel on Tuesday.
Brooklyn Nets forward Andray Blatche was questioned by Philadelphia police, but not charged, as part of a sexual assault investigation at an upscale hotel on Tuesday.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey says Blatche was among the witnesses interviewed by police on Tuesday. Ramsey told reporters preliminary findings of the investigation show Blatche was not involved.
Officer Jillian Russell says the possible assault reportedly happened around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday in a room at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The Nets were in Philadelphia to play the 76ers. Blatche was expected to play.

General manager Billy King said the team had no further comment.
On Tuesday, Blatche wrote about the incident on Twitter. "Im ok and I didn't do anything jus was n the area when it happened," Blatche tweeted. He later took down the tweet, and eventually posted: "Gettin ready for the game."
Police tell WCAU-TV that a 21-year-old woman was taken from the hotel to a local hospital.

Worst Celebrities of All Time
The Top TenXW
I don't even know why his a singer. Sometimes I think he release some kind of mind controling thing through his song otherwise nobody will listen to his crab. Grow up man. First time I listen to his song it remind me the end of the world. The worst singer, dancer... In the world
You know, it's funny. Here you are, complaining about this dude, when in the past, there was Hitler (killed 6 million Jews), Stalin (killed 60 million people), and yet, this dude (that simply makes music) is number one for worst well-known person... wow. - Loopnines
worst singer i cant believe thay nominated as grammy awards
Justink Blubber or whatever his awfully given name is an ungrateful, uncivil, disrespectful twat. I mean, really? Is this what people, or his "so-called Beliebers" aspire to become? A bucket-pissing, fan-spitting, music-reeking weed eater? This generation for music has deteriorated ever since he in such disgraceful recognition, including his counterpart, Miley poo-Cyrus. Mainstream music is at it's worst thanks to Bieber Weiner.
The worst thing of all time! I still can't believe that good for nothing junkie won a Grammy. A GRAMMY! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, PEOPLE! - DaTrueSwagLord21V66 Comments
Sorry Miley, but you know... You used to be somebody. Little girls loved to watch your "Hannah Montana" show. Now look what happened, things have seriously gone downhill in the last few years. Miley, please, reconsider your ways. Do it for the youngsters
This chick is beyond ratchet! She's fake and is totally trying to be something she CLEARLY is not! It's one thing to admire a culture and actually try to learn about it...but she's just portraying the african american culture as hood boogah!
Miley Cyrus used to be a good person (Minus the fact I never liked her anyways). But it all broke into shards after the music video "Wrecking Ball" where she was fully naked on the swaying wreaking ball I mean, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT! She always sticks her ' tongue out and that is HIDEOUS! Past=I don't like her music Now= I HATE HER! She should go back to being not a bear humper and to someone that doesn't catch the attention of "Perverts World-Wide"
I really don't like your sex is the worst and the picture of you is the worst toV43 Comments
Only reason shes famous is cause of a sex tape. If that sentence doesn't prove why shes worst that I don't know will. Maybe this? Shes an attention seeking adult. What the frick is with all her million dollar over the top weddings? She wastes so much money on weddings, then gets divorced 3 days later. Attention seeking to the max. She acts like shes all that and goes over the top. Ugh I can't even go on, she makes me sick. Only reason shes here is because some sick men like seeing her half naked - dragonfly99

Sick of seeing her on magazines and hearing about her on T.V.. She ain't God, she's just a selfish, ignorant low-life hag that she's the next Bill Gates!
Awful person, everything that's bad about modern America in oneV37 Comments
Adolf Hitler he killed six... six million people and Justin Bieber just makes mistakes but Adolf Hitler no he should be the worst he KILLED SIX MILLION PEOPLE Justin Bieber just makes music and he donates to a lot of charity did Adolf Hitler give to charity no he just KILLED SIX MILLION PEOPLE wow just because you dislike Justin Bieber music ah worst person kill him just wow Adolf Hitler is number six how stupid are kids today I am 13 and don't care that there is no periods or all that other stuff but I hope you guys understand this
I truly hate this ass but to be honest, I don't think he should be in this list. He was a bad person, but is by no means a celebrity. He may be well known but that's not the only think required to be a celebrity. - SelfDestruct
I'm so angry about this. Justin Bieber beat Adolf Hitler? What has the world come to? we're talking about a man who killed 6 million people for their beliefs? made concentration camps? kept children behind fences? And that's supposed to compare to a guy that, what? peeid in a bucket, that's bull. This man, shouldn't even be known as a Celebrity, this man who shall not be named is evil and pure wicked. Justin Bieber went through a rough patch that does not at all in ANY WAY compare to this jerk. He COMES AFTER KIM K? Miley? WOW that's just pitiful, Neither of the people above have killed someone? let alone 6 million wow, humanity has shocked me, I see humans but no humanity. I'm appalled by his placement in this list, just disappointed tremendously.
I don't think Aldolf Hitler can be listed as a celebrity. He is a HUGE SUPERSTAR of history. He is someone who changed the course of history and effected the course of humanity. How can you possibly put him on the same list a total drop kicks like Kim Kardashian, Lil Wayne or Nick Manaj?
Yeh, why isn't Adolf up top?V44 Comments
What an awful singer, her lyrics don't make sense, and I mean what kind of family name in Minaj, does it mean:
Everything about her is negative. And for good reason. - PositronWildhawk
Nicki Minaj is a hoe. A cheap prostitute plastic face surgery, fake breasts and fake lips, fake buttocks. Her songs is literally not suitable for children and youngsters!
Not a very good example to youngsters but I love your voice! I love your raps!V22 Comments
Okay, seriously? This is Obama we're referring to, THE PRESIDENT, he's hard working, he's a good idol and no matter how much pressure he's gotten he's still maintained chill and makes sure to keep himself and his family grounded. Obviously, as the president he will go through tough times and not always make the best decisions but that's part of his job, he learns as he moves forward. He has no reason to be on the Worst Celebrity's List, that must be a joke. Besides isn't he the president? can't he get you deported for putting him on this pathetic list?
I have nothing against him. He is a hard working president, a role modern to all men in United state of America. Question for you, what is the unemployment rate now?
Anyone who trades 5 blood thirsty terrorists for a known deserter (while 4 innocents are left behind to suffer in Iran), refuses to lower the flag to half mast in honor of 4 marines and a midshipman killed in cold blood on American soil and can't even bring himself to pick up the phone and offer his condolences to Kate Steinle's family (even though he did call the family of drug dealer Freddy Gray) is pathetic in my view.
Why are you hating him? Come to Romania and see how looks a president, a parliament, a constitution that really deserves your hate.V18 Comments
Her face is so messed up... I can't believe she was actually pretty at a time in her life
Please deport this crack head to another planet.
Woah, I just read a few of the comments and they were so harsh. Give her a chance!
She nice so why put her in the top ten hayrideV7 Comments
He thinks he's the best rapper ever. Wow. Also, his wife is Kim Kardashian, which is even worse, and guess what? He named his kid "North".
North. The joke is that the baby is called "North West", so it sounds like Northwest.
Who the hell names their baby that?!
Can't even rap or sing. Have you seen bound 2? Out of pitch oh my god
He named his child North and Saint West? Does he want his children to get roasted when they go to school, come on. And, he interrupted Taylor Swift when she was young and so excited to receive her award. He ruined that moment and no matter if she forgave him or not. That should be on his conscience cause that's so cruel and not innocent. Although yeezys are quite nice unlike him.
Yo People, Imma Let You Finish, But Kanye is Actually The Best Rapper Ever!V18 Comments
Okay can I ask you something? WHY THE HECK IS LORDE HERE? Wow, Lorde is one of the kindest and most down to earth celebrities out there, she did win a grammy and good for her and seriously for people to say shes overrated or she didn't deserve her grammys, that's all false. Her song is very good, and whether or not it was grammy worthy is not our decision and if someone reckoned it did, well she got it. She worked hard on that song and she was so young when it came out, she's done nothing wrong, she hasn't peed in a bucket, she hasn't realeased a sex tape to be famous, she hasn't interrupted Taylor Swift once she was on stage, Lorde is a generally well- mannered and sweet person and I'm still confused as to why shes on this list. hmm.
People are always dissing her. That really pisses me off. Lorde deserves much better, she's talented, and I love her cover of "Everybody wants to rule the world." Everywhere I turn I see "LORDE BASHED THESE CELEBRITIES! " And one time I watched one of these videos, and it was seriously just a lady praising Snooky and Selena Gomez, when Lorde was the one who was right about feminism. And she knows what she is talking about. - TheAlbinoWolf
People must be off their rocker to put her up here. Lorde is simply awesome. She rocks! - Ark-M
I love you lorde!V16 Comments
Trashy, untalented and brain-dead
Just one thing to say ugly hoe skank fake wow
She isn't brain dead. She's amazing and shouldn't even be around #1. - LittleLovelies
You look horrible brain dead and stupidV6 Comments
The Newcomers
The Contenders
Amanda bynes is a bully who hides behind a screen posting hate to everyone on twitter She has no life.
Calls people ugly when she's ugly her own self
She's stupid and horrible actress tooV2 Comments
She's one of the biggest divas ever. Yes, she has talent. But she's throwing it all away with the way she's acting. She goes licking donuts while saying "I hate Americans. I hate America." If you're going to look up to someone who does that then uses her fans to make her look good... I pity you. I really do.
Her voice is so damn annoying in that song the way.
She has about as much talent as my left ass cheek
I hate her music but that doesn't mean I can't sing. She's a user and all she wants is more money and more fans so she can become popular.V27 Comments
Very bad guy. he can have a date with Justin Bieber
Leave Clarkson alone. He is a nice guy
Goes too controversial a lot of times. There were probably at least 100 Top Gear controversies associated with him, captain slow, and hammondus the moron. - SelfDestructV1 Comment
So stupid never going to be elected however is the woman every man fancies but doesn't say please sarah can you give me a private dance
Found out going into politics allow making millions by fleecing all the suckers.V1 Comment
Being on Top Gear doesn't make you a celebrity. What worse could it get if he talks crap about the best cars and praises the worst cars. We all know about how awful the Bugatti Veyron is.
You're the worst don't look good ever you always are so wired and other stuff like that
Why is he down to 46? He is the worst celebrity ever, along with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond! They are all way worse than Justin Bieber. - SelfDestruct
He's weird lookingV2 Comments
I honestly don't like him either.

*With his robot boxing drama "Real Steel" topping the weekend box office with an $8.6 million debut, co-star Anthony Mackie is already knee deep into his next project "Gangster Squad," an account of the LAPD's real life fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s.
Sean Penn stars as real-life mobster Mickey Cohen. According to the studio, he "runs the show" in LA, "reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and—if he has his way—every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control."
Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling play LAPD's Sgts. John O'Mara and Jerry Wooters, the cops who try to shut Mickey down.
And Mackie's character? "I'm the black guy in 'Gangster Squad,'" he told EUR, referring to his role as Coleman Harris, a switchblade-toting cop who proudly patrols one of the most crime-ridden areas of the city.
"I love the 1940s/1950s of American history," he said. "Guys wore great hats and suits, women were like size 10s, you have amazing cars, like that was the beginning of the American muscle period, it was just an amazing time in this country. And I feel like the gangsters coming along at that time – like Mickey Cohen, like Al Capone, they seemed like fascinating fictional characters – fictional, because, who would take over a city? Really? Like if you tried to do that today…really?"
In the audio below, the New Orleans native says he had some studying to do about the City of Angels to absorb the mindset of an LAPD officer in the 40s and 50s – not to mention, and African American cop during the pre-civil rights era.

Here's the question you clicked on:
solve xyz=x+y+z for z
here you're not going to get a number answer
its going to be all variables
so on the left side of the equation, try an isolate z
xyz-z=x+y z(xy-1)=x+y z=(x+y)/(xy-1)
The first step would be to get all the terms with z in them on one side of the equation, and all other terms on the other side then factor out z from the terms. divide to isolate the z
how would you know what to do first ?
you can divide the left side by x and y to get z alone
moving all the terms that contain z to one side of the equation is always a good first step.

Say What: Ashton Kutcher Will Play Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak Approves
Okay, so we may be slightly tardy to the party, but we are still fumbling a bit over the fact that Ashton Kutcher is playing Steve Jobs in a sure-to-be-huge, upcoming indie biopic. Um, say what?
We're not gonna lie — we see the resemblance, but does it make that much sense for the tabloid star and actor, known for films such as Dude, Where's My Car? and What Happens in Vegas, to portray a Bay Area (and global) icon who's perhaps the most influential person in tech? Seriously, what was the casting director on? We're thinking the producers of the flick, who begin filming in May, might need to go back to drawing board on this one.
But hey, that's apparently just us. It looks like one big Apple power player is singing a different tune. News broke this morning that Steve Wozniak has co-signed the Kutcher casting.
"I'm glad that he's onboard," Wozniak tells TMZ. "I think he'll put a lot into it and that he cares about this particular subject. The fear that many might have is that Ashton was selected because he's 'hot' right now. But I feel that his selection was done in the most professional manner."
Okay, perhaps we can kind of see Wozniak's point, given Kutcher's involvement with so many tech startups (hence the emotional involvement with "this particular subject"). Still though, we'd love to hear the case for someone else...perhaps even a little-known actor to fill such a huge and career-defining role. Any suggestions on who should play Jobs — and the Woz! — let us know in the comments.

Recently FireScope Inc. introduced the general availability of its Stratis product. Stratis brings all of the FireScope Unify capabilities to the cloud, with the added advantage of a new architecture that delivers near infinite scalability. Moreover, the new Stratis architecture provides scalability at all application layers including its back-end operations, which were newly designed to leverage the benefits of MongoDB. In this article we will discuss several of the architecture choices that were made as part of this effort with the hope that others might benefit from the research and analysis that was performed to bring this product to market.
As background a functioning FireScope deployment has the ability to gather metrics from all forms of existing IT assets, normalize the gathered metrics, provide historical analysis of the metrics, and most importantly provide service views for worldwide operations which is unparalleled in the IT industry. In the early phases of designing the Stratis product, FireScope undertook significant research into the scalable persistence architectures that were production ready at the time of this effort. FireScope ultimately chose MongoDB for its ability to scale and its flexibility in supporting an easy transition from a relational persistence model to a NoSQL model. While researching MongoDB FireScope took the time to understand the application impact of the following architecture facets:
- Data mapping technologies
- Minimal field retrieval vs full document retrieval
- Data aggregation
- Early space allocation
In this article we detail each of the above mentioned research efforts and discuss the impact that our subsequent choices had on the FireScope Stratis product.
Application performance was a key driver in all research activities. Even though we were deploying these new application elements to the cloud, ignoring the importance of performance would mean more resources would be needed to get the job done. It's also worth noting that not all applications have the same considerations, so what may be an appropriate technology or architecture choice for FireScope Stratis might not be the appropriate choice for your application. With that said, let's address these research efforts in more detail.
Data Mapping Technologies
The FireScope Stratis application accesses persistent storage via Java, and PHP. As a result, we needed to make persistence access choices that would be compatible between Java and PHP. While Java and PHP were both requirements the main performance driven consideration was access via Java. In considering how to get information into and out of the database with Java, FireScope researched access using the following two approaches:
- Java Mongo driver with an in-house developed DAO layer
- Spring Data
We built narrowly focused prototype access solutions using both of these options. We saved and retrieved the same large graph of objects and compared the relative performance for each approach. One of the key findings in this analysis was the performance impact of "single binding" versus "double binding" of retrieved data.
When data is returned via the MongoDB Java driver each document is returned in the form of a HashMap where the fields of the persisted document form the keys of the HashMap and the corresponding values associated with each field are stored as HashMap values. FireScope designed its domain model to use getters and setters that simply accessed the appropriate field in the HashMap and ensured that each corresponding field has the correct Java type. In this model there is no additional overhead to bind each field to a corresponding Java field, we simply referenced the data in the HashMap. We refer to this model as "single binding" because the only binding performed is that of the Mongo Java driver.
By contrast, when Spring Data is used to render a document from MongoDB all fields in the HashMap returned by the Mongo Java driver are subsequently bound to a member field in the appropriate Java object. This binding is performed using reflection during the object retrieval process. We refer to this model as "double binding" because the initial HashMap rendering is then reflectively bound to the appropriate Java object fields and the initial HashMap is subsequently discarded.
In our comparative analysis we found that the "double binding" process used by Spring Data carried with it a performance overhead of greater than 2X but less than 4X. These comparative results were derived from multiple runs using each technology retrieving and saving the same large data graph on the same hardware. Furthermore, we alternated between technology choices in order to prevent differences in class loading, network, CPU, disk, and garbage collection from obscuring the analysis results.
Please do not take from the above that I have some issue with Spring Data. I absolutely love Spring, and nearly everything they do is 100% top notch! It just so happens that in this instance our performance-centric considerations directed us away from the use of Spring Data for FireScope's Stratis back-end operations. We do however use Spring in nearly every other area of the FireScope Stratis product. As a final thought, we also briefly considered the use of Morphia, but due to time constraints we never completed a comparative analysis using Morphia.
Minimal Field Retrieval
One of the key performance impacting areas of the FireScope Stratis product is the data normalization engine. Every metric retrieved by FireScope passes through this engine and as a result the ability to do more with less is critically important to FireScope. In an effort to verify our architecture choices, FireScope performed another analysis comparing the relative performance of retrieving all fields of a queried document to an alternative scenario where only one-fourth of the full fields were retrieved. The intent here is that many use cases do not need all of the data for a given object. Of course we knew that reducing the bandwidth between the database servers and the application servers would be a good thing, but being new to Mongo we weren't sure if the overhead of filtering some fields from the document would outweigh the benefits of the reduced bandwidth between the servers.
In this analysis we setup long running retrieve / save operations. Once again, we alternated between retrieve / save operations where the full document was passed, and retrieve / save operations where the one-fourth populated document was passed. Alternation was used to prevent the impact of class loading, network, CPU, disk, and garbage collection from obscuring the analysis results. When the one-fourth populated document was used we specified a set of fields for Mongo to retrieve. For the full document no field specification was provided and as a result the full document was retrieved.
The analysis results indicated an overwhelming 9X performance benefit to using limited field retrieval. But be aware that using limited field retrieval also has its downside. If other developers on your team are not keenly aware that the object they just queried for might not have all of its fields populated, then application defects can easily result from using this approach. To avert possible defects, FireScope leverages an extensive unit testing, functional testing, and peer review / test process to ensure that such defects do not arise.
Data Aggregation
A portion of the section is based on ideas from this blog.
We acknowledge and thank Foursquare Labs Inc. for its contributions.
The suggestion offered in the blog is to aggregate a series of historical entries into a single document, rather than creating a separate document for each historical record. The motivation for aggregation is to improve the locality of associated information and as a result improve its future access time. While the FireScope system performance is not driven by user access, it does rely extensively on aggregated historical metrics collected throughout a day and we leveraged aggregation to achieve improved locality.
What was not discussed in the Foursquare Labs blog was a second and equally significant benefit of aggregation which is a huge reduction in the size of an index for the FireScope historical records. For those not familiar with Mongo it is important to understand that Mongo attempts to keep all indexes in memory for fast access. As a result any reduction in the size of an index allows Mongo to keep more data in memory which improves overall system performance.
For better understanding consider the following two data storage scenarios where a reference id, time stamp, and value of several collected metrics are stored using two alternative approaches:
- Collected metrics are simply added to a collection which is indexed on the ref_id + time fields.
{ ref_id : ABC123, time : 1336780800, value : XXX }
{ ref_id : ABC123, time : 1336780800, value : ZZZ }
- All collected metrics for one day are added to an array. The document for the day is indexed on the ref_id and midnight fields.
{ ref_id : ABC123, midnight : 1336780800, values : [ time : 1336780805, value : XXX, ... ] }
Note that for option 1 both the ref_id and the time are two elements in an index. If the system collects this metric once every 5 minutes, then the system would collect 288 ref_id, time, value entries in one day. If each entry is added to an index then the corresponding index size will be significantly larger for option 1 above than for option 2, because option 2 does not index the actual collection time but only midnight of the current day. As a result, the index size is reduced nearly 300 to one due to the aggregation of data with no loss of information.
Early Space Allocation
If documents are created from metrics collected throughout the day, then both space allocation, as well as index updates are required throughout the day as a part of normal business operations. As discussed above if documents are nested then locality of accessed information is improved. But if normal operations append to an existing document then in most instances, the document must be moved and all associated indexes must be updated in order to accomplish the document append operations.
With FireScope Stratis optimal update operations are achieved by allocating a full days worth of history records for each expected metric. Each history record contains default values for the expected collection interval. The space for one day's worth of data is created in a scheduled operation that is run once per day. Then as metrics are collected throughout the day the appropriate bucket (array entry) is simply updated. Since the update does not change the size of the document no document movements are needed throughout the day nor are index updates needed. The end result is a system that achieves optimal performance. While I am unable to share actual performance metrics for this approach, I can share that the relative performance difference is significant. It is also worth noting that you would need to take great care in measuring the performance impact of this architecture choice because MongoDB has the inherent ability to queue update operations, thus masking the real performance benefit of this enhancement.
If you are undertaking a transition to MongoDB, or new development on MongoDB then choosing a data mapping technology wisely can have a significant impact on your application performance. Consider also the performance benefits of Minimal Field Retrieval, Data Aggregation, and Early Space Allocation as vehicles to optimize your applications' performance. You may also realize additional benefits, such as the reduced network bandwidth that comes with minimal field retrieval, and the reductions of index size that might result from data aggregation. We sincerely hope that you have benefited from the time invested in reading this article and wish you the best in all of your Mongo development endeavors.

NRF beat AFFO estimates by $.42/share! They took full advantage of the great market in the 4th quarter, unlike RAS. Schaeffer needs to step up to the plate and be more aggressive. Problem is he's still "shell shocked" by the recession and is scared to step it up.
NRF surprised me. Kudos to them. A lot is going right there. One of the big things that is going right has been their ability to raise money. NRF was about to raise over three times more investment capital than RAS in 2012. I would note here that this difference in capital raise is NOT about aggressiveness. RAS was doing everything it could to raise capital last year. It was more about market reaction. When NRF did a capital raise early in the year the market stalled the upward movement of its price for a while, but it didn't punish the stock. When RAS did a smaller capital raise at about the same time, the market pummelled it by taking the price down about a third (from above $6 to about about $4. The same difference can be found elsewhere, but that differerence is fading. Both did large secondaries at the end of 2012 and had their price rise from the offering price. Expect that both will do capital raises again before the end of 3Q, much as NCT did this week.
The difference in capital raises leads to another big difference. NRF successfully wrote a CMBS in 4Q. RAS will probably do the same in 2Q. The difference in timing will be more about the earlier access the market gave NRF to capital rather than inaggressiveness.
NRF's non-traded REIT is doing great (indeed, it accounts for well over half of NRF's capital raise in 2012). If, as you surmise, Salman was fired, it may well be because NRF's non-traded REIT was so much more successful in its early going That said, they are different NTReits with different terms, and RAS' NTREIT accounted for at least 20% of its capital raise in 2012 (e.g. it is working out, if slowly).
That said, if NRF's results seem a little too good to be true, look no further than the last addition to its AFFO adjustments: $117.4M of non-cash unrealized gains from fair-value adjustments. Bad news: without that non-cash adjustment NRF lost money by all of its metrics (an AFFO of -12M. This is the kind of sleight of hand that continues to make me wary of NRF. The market loves it, of course, but it's an accounting profit rather than a real one.
I've seen that before in other industries and companies. I dealt with one retailer that had gone through bankruptcy and their entire plan going forward was to structure everything so that they would NEVER go bankrupt again.
In some ways it can be healthy to make sure one doesn't make the same errors again, but as you point out one can miss significant upside too.
I think RAS was just a step behind many others getting their new investment cash in place. As you can see RAS has found recourse debt to be anathema............no more digging out with debt for equity swaps when business gets tough.
What more perfect reason and point in time for the return of "Hand me them dice!' Daniel Cohen?

The Encyclopedia of Domestic Violence is a modern reference from the leading international scholars in domestic violence research. This ground-breaking project has created the first ever publication of an encyclopedia of domestic violence. The primary goal of the Encyclopedia is to provide information on a variety of traditional, as well as breakthrough, issues in this complex phenomenon.
The coverage of the Encyclopedia is broad and diverse, encompassing the entire life span from infancy to old age. The entries include the traditional research areas, such as battered women, child abuse and dating violence. However, this Encyclopedia is unique in that it includes many under-studied areas of domestic violence, such as ritual abuse-torture within families, domestic violence against women with disabilities, pseudo-family violence and domestic violence within military families. It is also unique in that it examines cross-cultural perspectives of domestic violence.
One of the key special features in this Encyclopedia is the cross-reference section at the end of each entry. This allows the reader the ability to continue their research of a particular topic.
This book will be an easy-to-read reference guide on a host of topics, which are alphabetically arranged. Precautions have been taken to ensure that the Encyclopedia is not politically slanted; rather, it is hoped that it will serve as a basic guide to better understanding the myriad issues surrounding this labyrinthine topic.
Topics covered include: Victims of Domestic Violence; Theoretical Perspectives and Correlates to Domestic Violence; Cross-Cultural Perspectives and Religious Perspectives; Understudied Areas within Domestic Violence Research; Domestic Violence and the Law; and Child Abuse and Elder Abuse.
