DURHAM, N.H. – Once lost in the mists of time, the colonial hydrology of the northeastern United States has been reconstructed by a team of geoscientists, biological scientists and social scientists, including University of New Hampshire Ph.D. candidate Christopher Pastore.
The results, which extend as far back as the year 1600, appear in the current issue of the journal Environmental Science & Technology in the article "Tapping Environmental History to Recreate America's Colonial Hydrology." The findings provide a new way of uncovering the hydrology of the past and will lead to a better understanding of hydrologic systems now and in the future, the scientists say.
"We outline a methodology for synthesizing modern scientific data with historical records, including anecdotal sources," Pastore says, the paper's lead author. "It underscores the role of humans in an assessment of hydrologic change."
Throughout American history, water resources have played an integral role in shaping patterns of human settlement and networks of biological and economic exchange.
"The research emphasizes the effect of human activities on the evolution of watersheds and on the dynamics of ecosystems, important to water sustainability," says Thomas Torgersen, program director in National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences, which funded the research.
The scientists divided their study area into three geographic and socio-political subregions: New England; the Middle Colonies; and the Chesapeake. They then looked at the ways in which physical variables--such as soil, vegetation, and climate--combined with socio-political factors to influence each subregion's hydrologic environment.
In New England, for example, close-knit religious communities with strong central governments concentrated their economic efforts on fur-trading and timber extraction, according to the paper's co-authors, which include Charles Vörösmarty of the City University of New York, principal investigator on the NSF grant. Vörösmarty is formerly the director of the Water Systems Analysis Group at the UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space.
The Chesapeake region, on the other hand, was settled largely by young, unskilled men who cleared trees and planted tobacco fencerow to fencerow. "This caused extensive erosion, which dramatically altered rivers," Pastore says.
The Middle Colonies were characterized by diverse social, cultural, and religious traditions and feudal-style estate agriculture.
Integration of human decision-making into analyses of land-cover change, engineering and climate change is fundamental to understanding subregional hydrologic patterns and how they interact, the scientists say.
They recommend two metrics for quantifying hydrologic change.
The first, which they call a simple water balance, takes into account precipitation, evapotranspiration, and water storage, which can be used to track changes in annual river discharge. The second, termed mean water residence time, or the average time a water molecule spends in one place, can also be used to calculate the amount of water moving through a system.
The resulting information helps determine past water residence times, which in turn allow scientists to infer changes in the biogeochemistry of rivers and streams.
Many pathogens, or disease-causing organisms, are linked to water flows. An understanding of historical water residence times, says Pastore, may lead to new insights into how diseases are transmitted today.
Our colonial past may be hydrologic prologue.

Nanotube foams are strong and flexible
Nov 25, 2005
Scientists in the US have made foams from arrays of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes in the foam buckle to less than 15% of their original length when a load is applied. The foams could find use in a variety of applications, including cushioning pads and energy absorbing coatings (Science 310 1307).
Pulickel Ajayan of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and colleagues at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the University of Florida created arrays of vertically aligned nanotubes by chemical vapour deposition. The nanotubes formed an open-cell foam system, with a porosity of around 87%.
In general, the more flexible the foam, the less strong it is. For example, increasing the voids in a typical foam increases its compressibility but rapidly lowers its strength. However, nanotube foams are unusual in that they are both extremely strong - with a compressive strength of 12 to 15 megapascals - and very flexible. In contrast, typical low-density flexible foams, such as latex rubber and polyurethane, have a compressive strength of about 20 to 30 kilopascals.
The team looked at the foams with a scanning electron microscope and found that the nanotubes formed regular buckles along their axis. "The most fascinating thing is that all the nanotubes unanimously buckle at the same wavelength towards the same direction - they do not buckle randomly," says team member Anyuan Cao of the University of Hawaii. Moreover, the foams recover rapidly when the load is removed and have good fatigue resistance, suffering less than 15% deformation after thousands of cycles.
According to Cao, the nanotube foams could have applications as cushioning pads, energy absorbing coatings, and damping layers, while nanotubes with buckles could be used to make electromechanical devices such as actuators.
The scientists now plan to explore the electrical properties of compressed nanotubes by, for example, monitoring the change in electrical conductivity that takes place when the nanotubes buckle. They also aim to tailor the mechanical properties of the nanotubes for different applications by controlling the buckling wavelength, which determines the strength of buckled tubes, or by using aligned single-walled nanotubes.

Critics' Quotes
Iron Lake
"Krueger brings a fresh take on some familiar elements and a strong sense of atmosphere to his first mystery... an occasion for Krueger to draw some nifty connections between monsters of the heart and monsters of myth... [T]he author's deft eye for details of everyday life brings the town and its peculiar problems to vivid life."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Boundary Waters
"Krueger's writing, strong and bold yet with the mature mark of restraint, pulls this exciting search-and-rescue through with a hard yank."
—Publishers Weekly
Purgatory Ridge
"Pulls the reader in on the first page and holds him fast until the satisfyingly correct wrap-up on the last."
—The Denver Post
The Devil's Bed
"Readers of Krueger's Cork O'Connor mystery series (Iron Lake, Boundary Waters, etc.) will have to postpone the pleasures of the much-anticipated fourth volume, but the wait will be well spent with this fast-paced stand-alone political thriller."
—Publishers Weekly
Blood Hollow
"The prose in Blood Hollow is so good and the plotting so deft that readers will be hard put to stop reading once they begin. Krueger has moved to the head of the crime fiction class with this one."
—Chicago Sun-Times
Mercy Falls
"Cork, the sharp-witted small-town sheriff, continues to be an engaging and sympathetic series anchor; likewise, Krueger's depiction of rural America and the cultural differences among its residents remains compassionate and authentic. Not just for fans of the series, the novel is a smart and satisfying mystery on its own."
Copper River
"This series gets darker and more elegantly written with every book. Minnesota has become a hotbed of hard-boiled crime fiction, and the Cork O'Connor novels are among the best."
Thunder Bay
"Deftly plotted... [T]he action builds to a violent and satisfying denouement."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Red Knife
"Racial tensions fuel Krueger's outstanding ninth Cork O'Connor mystery, which delivers everything its predecessors like Thunder Bay have promised—and more."
—Publishers Weekly
Vermilion Drift
"Krueger's superlative 10th novel… succeeds on every level and ought to attract the author a deservedly wide readership."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Krueger fans will find a feast in between these covers, and for those who have yet to sample his fine and evocative writing, the book offers a complex yet completely believable plot, all tied up in words sharpened by one of the modern masters of the craft."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Northwest Angle
"Solid storytelling and intriguing characterizations combine for a sobering look at the power of family and faith and Native American culture. Krueger never writes the same book twice as each installment finds him delving deeper into Cork's psyche."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"...part adventure, part mystery, and all knockout thriller... Catch-your-breath suspense throughout."
Trickster's Point
"Krueger's intimate knowledge of Minnesota's northern reaches and respect for Native American life, ancient and modern, provide an intricate setting for this gem of a mystery."
—Publishers Weekly
Ordinary Grace
"A respected mystery writer turns his attention to the biggest mystery of all: God… Krueger aims higher and hits harder with a standalone novel that shares much with his other work.... 'the awful grace of God,' as it manifests itself within the novel, would try the faith of the most devout believer. Yet, ultimately, the world of this novel is one of redemptive grace and mercy, as well as unidentified corpses and unexplainable tragedy. A novel that transforms narrator and reader alike."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Tamarack County
"Minnesota's haunting Northwoods provide the backdrop for bestseller Krueger's 13th Cork O'Connor novel, a winter's tale that will both break and warm the reader's heart… Krueger's evident empathy for the Ojibwe and their traditions and values blends seamlessly with horrific violence played out against O'Connor's struggles to heal his family's wounds—and his own."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

The temperature has warmed up a bit lately, but I am still feeling cold. My office is always freezing. I keep saying I will buy a space heater, but I really dont want to spend the money. I am also feeling pretty tired this morning. More so than normal. Not sure why that is because I went to bed at normal time. I skipped office PT this morning - I keep doing this and no one has said anything to me... But my gym bag is packed so I plan to get in a run after work. I am just feeling blah this morning. I accomplished pretty much all of my work yesterday so I dont really have anything going on today - I plan to get in a bunch of studying during the day since I scheduled my military education test (the first one) for next Tuesday. We have a three-day weekend so I should be able to get in a bunch of studying. I am tempted to take leave tomorrow and give myself a 4-day weekend, but I cant really justify why I should take a day off, other than the fact that I dont really have any work going on right now...
I finally called the Building Department today to get my pergola inspected. No lie. Tomorrow is the absolute last day I can get it inspected before my permit expires. The thing has been finished since August (minus some painting that stil needs to be done). Lazy much? I couldnt even remember where I put the building plans and had to scramble this morning to find them. So the inspectors are coming tomorrow. They could have come today, but I didnt leave my plans out for them. If you dont leave them your plans they wont inspect it (even though they have your plans on file - but whatever). The thing has been standing for quite a few months so I cant imagine there are any problems with it. It has held up through the storms we've had recently, so I think it's solid.
Last night after work I got in 25 minutes on the elliptical. I wasnt really feeling it, but I pushed through, and I was glad I did. I had my ipod on shuffle and I wasnt as pleased with the songs that came on like I normally am. I think its about time I put together some new playlists and download some new songs. After the gym I went home and made a Hungry Girl recipe - the Spicy Chicken Crunchtastic Supreme - its a knockoff of a Taco Bell Crunch Supreme thing. But obviously healthier. It was pretty yummy and really easy to make so I will probably do that again tonight. And definitely tastier than taco bell, especially because I used my homemade taco seasoning!

I am so feeling it also. I skipped spin last night and was downright angry this morning for no reason. I am so sick of this cold snap! Next week is supposed to be better but at -9, I can't think that positively. My space heater under my desk is on all the time. I am taking tomorrow afternoon off and we are headed to Palisade for the wine tours Sunday/Monday. Ususally the Grand Junction area is much warmer, only supposed to be 21 on Sunday. I need some Miami!!!! Good luck with the inspection and keep warm!

College Hockey:Cornell's Iles named ECAC Hockey student-athlete of the year
ECAC Hockey recently announced that Cornell goaltender Andy Iles has been named the student-athlete of the year.
A finance and Marketing major, the senior has accumulated a 3.78 grade-point average, while recently being named to the league's second-team all-conference team.
"It is easy to see Andy Iles and what he has done at Cornell," said Cornell coach Mike Schafer in a news release. "But what people won't see is the time he puts into community service and preparation in being the best goaltender he can be. It is amazing to see the courses he excels in and the number of projects he is involved with."
Iles made 80 consecutive starts in net for the Big Red, marking the fifth longest streak in NCAA Division I history and serves as one of the team captains this season. Iles has also rewritten the record books in his time at Cornell, now standing as the program's all-time leader in career saves with 2,962.
He has made the Dean's List six times to date while studying in the grueling demands of the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. He is a member of the Sphinx Head Honor Society and the Red Key honor society.
Iles is a finalist for Senior CLASS Award and outside of the rink, he has been involved in a service trip with the Portal De Belen Foundation to Don Juan, Dominican Republic, and is the organizer and planner of the Cornell Hockey Teddy Bear Toss, which donates proceeds to Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes and the Franziska Racker Centers.

Well, things haven't gotten worse for Bryan Singer over the last few days, but they have hardly gotten better. A few days ago, 31-year-old Michael Egan filed a federal lawsuit against the X-men: Days of Future Past director, saying he was drugged and raped on numerous occasions back in 1999. All of this occurred while Egan was a teenager, attending various Hollywood parties that Singer also allegedly attended. Singer has denied the charges and revealed his alibi, saying he was filming X-men at the time, but now another situation has cropped up that will require his attention.
Daily Mail reports that Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (West of Memphis, Deliver Us from Evil) has reached out to Egan over a documentary she's working on that will reveal the sexual abuse running rampant throughout Hollywood, and the allegations against Singer, which have been whispered about long before now, will be a part of it. Here's what a source close to Egan had to say....
"Just this week, I got a message from Disarming Films, a documentary film company working out of Los Angeles. They said they are making a documentary about a bunch of children molested by somebody in the film industry. I never contacted them back. They wanted videos and pictures of Michael and a few others he knew. The film company said they were working on numerous children, now adults, now coming forward about this."
Berg's Oscar-nominated doc Deliver Us from Evil dealt with the Roman Catholic Church's cover-up of sexual abuse charges, so this is ground she's tread before. She's currently at Tribeca for the premiere of her narrative feature, Every Secret Thing, starring Diane Lane, Dakota Fanning, and Elizabeth Banks.
Meanwhile, Singer has removed himself from all promotion for next month's X-men: Days of Future Past, including his scheduled appearance at this weekend's WonderCon.

TC TO LORD CLARENDON; 5 August 1849; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18490805-TC-LC-01; CL 24: 173-175
Londonderry, 5 Augt, 1849—
Dear Lord Clarendon,
As I do not return by Dublin, but quit Ireland at this point for Scotland, will you accept from me a word of adieu in writing, which I had hoped to have offered by word of mouth, had the course of travel allowed.
I have roamed extensively over this unfortunate Ireland; round all the coast, by Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Galway, Sligo, with excursions into the interior in various quarters; I have seen many kinds of men, and in some places the strangest figure of Human Society that memory ever had to record, or even imagination to conceive; and certainly one ought, in looking at all, to have laid up "materials for reflexion" for some time to come! My surprise, however, if I have been at all surprised or disappointed, has rather been of the joyful kind; that of finding more good men, of all descriptions, busy in their places, and more germs of hope and benefit, discoverable in this waste scene of Human Distractions and Delusions, than I had dared to anticipate. If the Potatoe will but honestly die, and keep dead, the people will have to admit that it is dead; and close on the rear of that discovery, the possibility of a new Ireland (which ought to mean a new England and a new Scotland, both somewhat desirable withal, in various respects!) will dawn upon the astonished imaginations of Irishmen. The universe is not built upon potatoes; it was not a good universe while it rested on that sad basis! But "the insolvent Unions" of the West are certainly at this moment the miracle of the world; the Connaught of these years is paying the full score for the sins of many past generations;—and, I calculate, will teach all men that "indolent Laissez-faire plus a Poor-Law" is not, by any manner of means, the solution of Human Society; that actual command of the Foolish Multitude by the Wise Few is once more (in spite of all our modern philanthropies) becoming clearly, what it always from the beginning of the world till late times was, the indispensable necessity, if human beings would live together in any but the savage state. Alas, alas, what a sea of nonsense we have got to get across before there can be any steady progress towards that result! The thought of this has kept me dumb these several years; and is indeed enough to sadden any considerate person's heart.
Wheresoever I went, one thing struck and gratified me: the position of the Lord Lieutenant, and the estimate formed of his conduct, in the minds of all manner of men. The "native Irish," Priests, repealers (Ex-repealers) &c &c all bitterly dislike the English; but on all of them it has got, or is getting, clearly impressed, that Ireland has no better friend than its present Viceroy. Even Duffy of the Nation volunteered to admit that Lord Clarendon's demeanour, throughout that infatuated (and to Duffy not tragicomical but tragic) business of Repeal and its Results, had been that of a man of dignity and honour,—unexceptionable in all particulars, except that of some Dublin Newspaper (whose name I forget) set to abuse and calumniate him (Duffy) with which operation, I ventured to assure him, Lord Clarendon had no very intimate concern!1 These were Duffy's own voluntary sentiments, perhaps worth recording here, and submitting to a very unexpected audience.
At several points in my journey I fell in with Duffy, and went a day or two along with him. The depths of Native Irishism (which has not grown much lovelier for being looked at) were thereby laid bare to me: many Priests, only one or at most two of whom did I much have to esteem; Repealers (all hopeless Ex-repealers now), among whom the Mayor of Kilkenny2 seemed to me a man of real honesty, of intelligence (strangely cultivated), and elevation of mind, a man really worthy of esteem. Duffy himself is now in Dublin; intent, as you already know, on recommencing his Newspaper; but I greatly mistake if his views are not wholly altered, or altering, in regard to all manner of Anglo-Irish questions; if you do not see a "Nation" very different indeed from what the late one was. Duffy's popularity among all classes of the Irish population (innkeepers, populace, priests &c) surpasses all my conceptions; my notions of his personal character and qualities you already know, and have forgiven; but I have now good hopes of the man,—hopes that even you may admit the intrinsic worth of this poor misguided soul and see him effect real benefit to his bewildered countrymen. He has in him many truths, which it is highly important they were taught, and which there is surely no man living that has now such an opportunity to teach them. If the "Martyr of Repeal" (say, surviving Martyr of Ex-repeal) turn out as I expect, the day may come when honourable Persons in Authority may find some worth in him too.— In all things, Let us hope!—
Forgive me, dear Lord Clarendon, for this long incoherent story, little to the purpose after all, and little expressing the things I wished to say. The hurry of a traveller, whose poor brain is set whirling, like all his bodily adjuncts and his bodily self, in the incessant locomotion must plead my excuse.— Lord George Hill was the last person I saw; after his Gweedore the last object is to be the School at Temple Moyle in this neighbourhood.3 After which, to Glasgow on the morrow, and then home to native Annandale for a while. I saw one Mr Boyne (an agent of the Board of Works) at King William's Town;4 and greatly admired him and the works he is doing there. A most effectual Triptolemus;5 to whom if you gave the able-bodied of a Western Union with their gratuitous Stirabout, and some quasi-military cat o' nine tails to awaken their energies, surprising (and I think invaluable) results might follow! I deign to ask Captain Larcom shortly for some further details about Boyne.
And so farewell, dear Lord Clarendon: be pleased to accept my cordial thanks, and all the honourable wishes I can form while quitting your shores.
Yours with great regard, T. Carlyle

In the NYTimes, Roberta Smith takes issue with current art jargon, particularly the newly fashionable use of the word "practice" to describe the artmaking process. "When it comes to fashionably obtuse language, the art world is one of the leading offenders. Academic pretensions flash through like brush fire, without a drop of cold water splashed their way. 'Reference' and 'privilege' are used relentlessly as verbs, as in 'referencing late capitalism' or 'privileging the male gaze.' Artists 'imbricate' ideological subtexts into their images. Some may think such two-bit words reflect important shifts in thought about art, but they usually just betray an intellectual insecurity.... Another lamentable creeping usage is not only pretentious, but it distorts and narrows what artists do. I refer to — rather than reference — the word practice, as in 'Duchamp's practice,' 'Picasso's studio practice' and worst of all, especially from the mouths of graduate students, 'my practice.' Things were bad enough in the 1980s, when artists sometimes referred to their work as 'production,' but at least that had a kind of grease-monkey grit to it. The impetus behind practice may be to demystify the stereotype of the visionary or emotion-driven artist, and indeed it does. It turns the artist into an utterly conventional authority figure."

If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get your boss...!!
- Bill Gates
Academicians do a great job at educating the students; however, vast gap exists between academics and professionalism. Academicians and Corporate Professionals must join forces to guide the next generation.
To ensure that students are ready for the challenges after graduation, professionals with rich corporate experience must interact with the college students to guide them on how to 1. Bag the first dream job. 2. Undergo a smooth transition into the corporate world. 3. Evolve into a competitive, successful, ethical professional. Our Finishing School initiative is a pursuit for doing just the same, thereby helping the college students be Corporate Ready!

No one, that's who, and we happen to love the smell of the bergamot and black pepper bar, appropriately named Accomplishment (since we dragged our butts out of bed to take a shower before work today).

For today's hyper-connected, always-tethered employee, the notion of acceptable information technology is as much about the experience as it is about business productivity. With the lines between home and office continuing to blur, employees are choosing devices that more so reflect their personal identities than their professional ones.
Companies around the world are waking up to sleek silver hardware across their organizations as "Apple-ization" of the enterprise takes shape. And what started as a hardware trend has had reverberating effects for how enterprise software entrepreneurs think about product.
In this paper, we aim to explore the origins of the post-PC era, the accompanied rise of Apple, and the subtle but important implications for the next generation of software companies.

Pimientos de Padron
We first spotted Pimientos de Padron in a little tapas bar in Sitges Spain south of Barcelona. It was not displayed at the bar nor on the menu, it was being eaten by the help. At the time, you couldn't get these peppers easily in the States. Now, they have caught on and the seeds are available for domestic gardens. The plant is a prolific producer in our garden, and a few plants will keep you in peppers all season. Part of their charm is that every 10th one or so has a chile kick, about as hot as a poblano. We like to serve them with
Tortilla de Patate
as part of a tapas menu.
Yield 4 servings
30 Pimientos de Padron
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon Fleur de Sel, or to taste for sprinkling
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add peppers. Fry until brown and blistery, 3 to 5 minutes. Shake pan often or use tongs to turn peppers for even browning.
Remove to serving plate, sprinkle generously with salt, and serve immediately.
Pan-seared peppers as appetizers is a hot area in the market. Newer peppers are appearing with differing sweet and earthy intensities. Try
Fushimi Peppers
for variety.

This trust is a type of Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) with a twist: you need a spouse.
Here is how it works: You establish the SLAT to benefit your spouse (and other heirs). The SLAT is then the owner of a life insurance policy insuring you or both of you. The SLAT is also the beneficiary of this policy. You then transfer cash to the SLAT so that the trustee can pay the premium for the life insurance policy [depending on your ability to make annual exclusion gifts or use the lifetime gift tax exclusion, these transfers of cash to the SLAT may not be subject to gift taxes.]
By setting up your spouse as the SLAT beneficiary, the trustee has the ability to make income-tax free loans from the cash value of the policy to your spouse, or withdraw cash and make distributions to your spouse during their lifetime. (This is a great solution if you are uninsurable, but your spouse is, and you pass before your spouse.)
Then when the insured passes, the SLAT receives the death benefit in cash and can make further distributions, including assisting in paying of estate taxes.
Since the SLAT owns the life insurance policy, the death benefit passes to the SLAT without adding to the taxable size of your estate.
You need an estate planning attorney to set up a SLAT and to determine if this is the right solution to your overall estate goals.

Bienvenidos a American Bar Association, la más grande asociación de voluntarios en el mundo. Con cerca de 400.000 miembros, ABA provee acreditación para escuelas de leyes, educación legal continuada, información respecto de la ley, programas para asistir a abogados y jueces en su trabajo, e iniciativas para mejorar el sistema legal público.
Los miembros de la Comisión en asociación con el Departamento de Justicia de U.S y agencias en todo el país poseen una excepcional practica de conocimientos y entrenamiento en representación de víctimas de violencia domestica, asalto sexual y acoso.
Comprehensive Tool for Lawyers in Spotting Domestic & Sexual Violence Released by the American Bar Association
WASHINGTON, D.C., – The American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence has released "Comprehensive Issue Spotting: A Tool for Civil Attorneys Representing Victims of Domestic and Dating Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking," a client-centered resource to help lawyers new to representing victims of these crimes provide knowledgeable assistance to their clients.
In the U.S., access to legal services is identified as one of the most effective tools for the estimated 1.5 million victims of these crimes each year. "Comprehensive Issue Spotting" will enable lawyers to identify and become familiar with the wide-range of legal issues facing victims, and provide well-informed legal advice and referrals.
The guide takes a two-pronged approach in addressing such critical areas as protection orders, child custody, immigration, employment and housing. First, it provides a list of questions that lawyers can use to gather information from their clients. For example, with respect to criminal matters, "Did the client report the violence to law enforcement?" and relative to immigration issues, "What is the immigration status of the offender?" The second part of the guide identifies the type of help that victims need and asks lawyers to research and list the local resources for their clients. In criminal matters, that may be having the name of the local victim services contact at the prosecutor's office; and as to immigration — "What is the local community-based immigration agency?"
"Too often, a victim of a domestic violence situation or stalking is treated for one part of the problem, without real acknowledgement and understanding of all of the issues surrounding the abuse. This comprehensive issue-spotting tool will help lawyers respond to victims holistically, and will help ensure that lawyers have information about additional resources to help victims become safe," said Judge Pamila Brown, chair of the commission.
The ABA Commission on Domestic Violence developed the tool in partnership with the Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs, Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, National Center for the Prosecution of Violence Against Women, National District Attorneys Association and the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.
Copies of the tool are available electronically via download from the commission's Web site athttp://www.abanet.org/domviol/pdfs/Issue_Spotting_FINAL.pdf.
Founded in 1994, the ABA Commission on Domestic Violence has a mission to increase access to justice and safety for victims of domestic violence by mobilizing the legal profession.
With more than 413,000 members, the American Bar Association is the largest voluntary professional membership organization in the world. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.
ABA – American Bar Association
The ABA Commission on Domestic Violence is provided as a service for legal practitioners and advocates who may find it useful to include current statistical data in their arguments to the court. It is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of research in the area of domestic violence.

Gael Monfils
"I don't regret anything. I am proud to try a challenge even if I do not exceed."
- Gael Monfils
Gael Monfils BiographyGael Sebastien Monfils was born on September 1, 1986, in Bobigny, France. His father, Rufin, is a former soccer player and his mother, Sylvette, is a nurse. His younger brother Daryl came shortly after Gael.
gael monfils plays junior opens
Gael Monfils' professional tennis career began at the 2002 Dutch Junior Open, where he was a runner-up, and the German Junior Open, which he won. By the end of the year, he was ranked as the No. 44 junior in the world.
In 2003, Gael Monfils earned his first ATP point and his ranking moved up in the juniors, where he reached No. 2.
gael monfils moves up in ranks and wins atp title
In 2004, Gael Monfils had his most successful season to date, winning the three out of four Grand Slams, which put him at No. 1 in the junior ranks. That October, he played for the ATP for the first time, making it as far as the quarterfinals. Gael Monfils also managed to win junior titles at Wimbledon, the French Open and the Australia Open. He came in third at the U.S. Open.
2005 was another milestone year for the budding tennis player, as he moved up a remarkable 200 ranking spots. Although he won two other finals, more notable is the fact that Gael Monfils finished his tennis season as the No. 3 Frenchman and clinched his very first ATP title.
gael monfils plays table tennis
In 2006, Gael Monfils coasted through several tourneys. However, the competition in which he excelled that year wasn't tennis, but table tennis. A table tennis tournament in Vegas was hosted by the Tennis Channel, and Gael Monfils got a wildcard. He actually won the competition.
Gael Monfils managed to regained his foothold on tennis at the 2006 French Open. Playing James Blake, who was ranked No. 8 (while Gael Monfils was ranked No. 25).

Valle courts eco-tourists slowly but surely
By Tara FitzGerald Original Print Publication: May, 2008
Tiny Valle de Bravo, long known as a weekend playground for wealthy Mexico City dwellers and adventure sports seekers, is starting to turn its penchant for outdoor pursuits into viable eco-tourism projects, which in turn are stimulating interest from visitors.
With Valle's eco-tourism industry still in its nascent stages, the Comisión Nacional de Areas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP) set up operations in the area a year ago, and sees huge potential for the development of eco-tourism in the region, due to its abundant natural resources.
"We are aiming to convert the 'normal' tourism you see here into ecological, rural, and alternative tourism, as well as working on sustainable development," says Ricardo Vallín León, eco-tourism representative for CONANP in the Valle region.
Designated a pueblo mágico by the Mexican government, Valle de Bravo is a charming colonial town of winding, cobbled streets and red-roofed, whitewashed houses draped with bougainvillea. It sits on a hilltop above Lago Avándaro, providing ample opportunity for a gamut of water sports, while the pine forests that surround the town are ideal for hiking, mountain biking, and horse riding. Valle is also one of Mexico's top spots for hang-gliding and paragliding: on a sunny weekend day you can see dozens of daring tourists floating across the cloudless sky.
Beyond these outdoor pursuits, another prime factor makes Valle ripe for eco-tourism: outside town in the municipality of Temascaltepec is the Piedra Herrada monarch butterfly sanctuary. The winter migration of millions of monarch butterflies from Canada and the United States to Mexico's warmer climes is one of the country's most spectacular natural phenomena. Between November and March visitors from all over Mexico and the world come to see these hardy but delicate creatures form shimmering carpets of orange and black over the pine trees.
The forests where the monarchs habitually winter are threatened by illegal logging, prompting the creation of government reserves to protect these well-traveled creatures. "Piedra Herrada, the monarch butterfly sanctuary, is one of our strongest ecotourism investments in the area," says CONANP's Mr. Vallín León. "Apart from the sanctuary itself, we are working with the people who live there [on the ejidos—communal lands] to train them as tourist guides and educate them on why the sanctuary is necessary."
Another eco-tourism site is the Monte Alto Reserve, which offers mountain biking and hiking trails, camping areas, and 607 hectares of pine forest. CONANP is also planning, in conjunction with the local community, the construction of a Cultural Center for Conservation, which will include a monarch information center, local training courses on good ecotourism practices, a reforestation project, and a natural water recycling and treatment facility.
One high-end commercial venture that combines ecological and adventure pursuits is the Rodavento hotel. Operating since 2004, this hotel just outside Valle is made up of rustic-style cabañas with wood-fired stoves tucked into the woods around a lake. "The idea is to offer guests the possibility of luxury accommodation while also being exposed to nature," says General Manager Carlos del Rosal.
And what is the hotel doing on the environmental front? "All our water is spring water and we have a natural water treatment plant as well. In the restaurant we focus on buying from local producers and most of the food is organic," he says. Rodavento offers an extensive menu of activities both on and off its grounds, including rappelling, kayaking, and mountain biking.
Antonio del Rosal, executive director of Rodavento's parent company Río y Montaña, says the people now coming to Valle de Bravo are more environmentally conscious than perhaps they were a few years ago. "Having said that, I still think a lot of people don't necessarily come here with ecotourism in mind. However, once they are here they get involved in outdoor activities and that helps to promote eco-consciousness."
Valle is getting there on the environmental front and whatever your budget, eco-friendly lodges, bed and breakfasts, or campsites are available for choosing.
Getting There
Valle de Bravo is in the Estado de México, about two hours by car from Mexico City. From Toluca, take the carretera that goes to Temascaltepec. Exit at Valle de Bravo (Km. 40). You'll pass the Nevado de Toluca and Los Saucos before reaching Valle.

The short answer is—perhaps, at least parts of it. Copyright law protects "original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression." 17 U.S.C. §102. This protection attaches from the moment at which the expression is recorded—in other words, from the moment the pen hits the paper.
Are we on the brink of another domino falling in the battle to protect patent rights? It might seem so, considering a recent Third Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling that appears to elevate commercial antitrust law above the interests of patent holders.
On July 16, 2012, in the K-Dur case, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a "finder of fact must treat any payment from a [pharmaceutical] patent holder to a generic patent challenger who agrees to delay entry into the market, as prima facie evidence of an unreasonable restraint of trade." In re K-Dur Antitrust Litig., No. 10-2077, 2012 WL 2877662, at *16 (3d Cir. July 16, 2012). The opinion was the latest salvo in the heated debate between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and pharmaceutical companies regarding so-called "reverse payments." Not only did the opinion reverse a long string of circuit court opinions upholding such payments as a proper exercise of patent rights, it supported the FTC's view that such payments are inherently anti-competitive.
As an IP attorney with a transactional and litigation practice, I am often in the position of advising clients with respect to protection of their copyrightable works. I have found that a majority of new clients do not understand who owns works created by independent contractors they've hired. Specifically, clients do not know that if they hire an independent contractor to create copyrightable works for them, in the absence of a written agreement vesting ownership of the works in the client, the independent contractor – and not the client – owns the copyright to the works.
On Friday, August 24, a nine member jury entered a verdict in favor of Apple and awarded almost $1.05 billion in damages. Apple filed suit against one of its largest competitors, Samsung Electronics, in April 2011, and alleged that Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets infringed seven of Apple's patents covering the iPhone and iPod products. In turn, Samsung countersued alleging that Apple infringed Samsung's patents covering various wireless software components of its products. After more than a year of highly contentious litigation and following a trial that began at the end of July and lasted the better part of August, the jury deliberated for less than three days before delivering the verdict in favor of Apple.

Desmar Jackson
Oct. 27, 2013
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Missouri Valley Conference will hold its annual Media Day on Wednesday in Chicago, during which it will announce the preseason poll results and All-Conference team. Here's a look at my preseason ballot.
1. Wichita State
2. Indiana State
3. Bradley
4. Missouri State
5. Northern Iowa
6. Southern Illinois
7. Evansville
8. Drake
9. Loyola
10. Illinois State
On paper, there are two very solid teams in the league (Wichita State and Indiana State). After that, well... In fact, trying to figure out the third-best team was mostly a process of elimination. I think three teams that have been at or near the basement in recent years (Bradley, Missouri State, SIU) are ready to move up. Here are some quick thoughts on each team.
1. Wichita State. The Shockers lost so much from last year's Final Four team -- including Carl Hall, Malcolm Armstead, Demetric Williams and Ehimen Orukpe. Still, they are ranked No. 16 in the preseason USA Today Coaches poll. They would do well to note how SIU was ranked for four weeks at the start of the 2007-08 season, coming off a Sweet 16 appearance, only to settle later for an NIT bid. Nothing is automatic in college basketball. Wichita has the likely preseason player-of-the-year in Cleanthony Early (13.9 ppg). Their next-best player is sophomore Ron Baker (8.7 ppg), who missed most of last season due to injury, but was a hero in the NCAA Tournament. Guys like Tekele Cotton (6.5 ppg), Fred VanVleet (3.6 ppg) and Chadrack Lufile (1.6 ppg) were role players last year who will have to step up big for the Shockers to return to the Big Dance.
2. Indiana State. It seems like Jake Odum (13.6 ppg) has been in the league forever. The savvy veteran point guard, paired with athletic swingman Manny Arop (12.0 ppg) and sharp-shooting Lucas Eitel (4.1 ppg), give the Sycamores one of the league's best backcourts. They have Justin Gant (7.5 ppg) and Jake Kitchell (2.7 ppg) returning in the front court. Having made the NCAA Tournament two years ago and the NIT last year, the Sycamores should be a dangerous team once again.
4. Missouri State. The Bears were the youngest team in the Valley last year, and after a terrible start to the season, finished a respectable seventh in the MVC. Freshman of the Year Marcus Marshall (11.5 ppg) is a special player. The Bears will be bolstered by the return of Jarmar Gulley, who missed last year with a torn ACL. They also have some young big men in Christian Kirk (8.7 ppg) and Gavin Thurman (6.9 ppg) who could develop into nice players. It also appears Keith Pickens (6.1 ppg) is going to give his knee another try this year after announcing his retirement last March.
5. Northern Iowa. The Panthers always seem to plug guys into their system without missing a beat. If that trend continues, then Northern Iowa could finish in the top half of the Valley. The top two returnees are Seth Tuttle (11.4 ppg) and Deon Mitchell (9.3 ppg) -- both solid MVC players. Matt Bohannon (4.7 ppg) is one of the league's better perimeter shooters. Tennessee transfer Wes Washpun is expected to boost UNI's athleticism. They really need some of their younger players, such as Austin Pehl (0.8 ppg) to improve.
6. Southern Illinois. Desmar Jackson (15.6 ppg) is one of the league's most explosive scorers, and Anthony Beane (9.2 ppg) is a rising sophomore. Those two players alone will keep SIU in most games. There are big questions at point guard and center, though, where the only player with Division I experience is Davante Drinkard (1.9 ppg). Coach Hinson overhauled virtually the entire roster in 16 months on the job, and if some of the new pieces like freshman Sean O'Brien come through, the Salukis could finish even higher.
7. Evansville. Graduation really did a number on the Purple Aces' roster. They lost four starters, and are about to find out what life is like without Colt Ryan, who has carried the program the last four years. They do return sophomores D.J. Balentine (8.1 ppg) and big man Egidijus Mockevicius (5.8 ppg), and the latter could develop into one of the better post players in the league. Still, this looks like a rebuilding year in Evansville.
8. Drake. Since the end of last season, the Bulldogs have had a coaching change and a lot of roster turnover. They have a couple of pretty good players coming back in big man Seth Van Deest (9.5 ppg) and guard Richard Carter (9.2 ppg). After taking a year off from basketball, forward Aaron Hawley will return for his senior year. Ray Giacoletti will need an immediate boost from his first recruiting class to avoid Thursday night basketball in St. Louis.
9. Loyola. First, a confession. I've not seen Loyola play. I know they lost three of their best players off last year's seventh-place team in the Horizon. I know they have a redshirt freshman named Milton Doyle who originally signed with Kansas. I don't know if they are ready to compete at this level until head coach Porter Moser gets a few more recruiting classes under his belt in the new league.
10. Illinois State. Quick. Name one player on the Redbirds' roster. Can't come up with one? Me either. I looked it up, and they do have Nick Ziesloft (4.5 ppg) and Kaza Keane (2.7 ppg) returning. That's it. All the new players may be really good somewhere down the road, but it likely won't be this season.
Here's my preseason All-Conference team.
Cleanthony Early, Wichita State
Jake Odum, Indiana State
Walt Lemon, Jr., Bradley
Desmar Jackson, Southern Illinois
Marcus Marshall, Missouri State
A tsunami swept through the MVC during the off-season and washed away most of its returning scorers. Twenty-four players averaged double figures last year in the MVC, and only eight of those players return. Two teams (Bradley, Indiana State) have two of them, while Wichita State, Northern Iowa, SIU and Missouri State each have one. That should make for a wild and unpredictable season.

Subject: Processors | July 8, 2005 - 10:41 AM | Joe White
SANTA CLARA, Calif, July 7, 2005 — Based on internal testing by Intel Corporation, a system based on the forthcoming dual-core Intel® Itanium® processor codenamed 'Montecito' demonstrated a 60 percent performance increase over a previous technical computing benchmark posted by a four-way RISC-based system.
Athlon 64 FX-57 Review
Subject: Processors | June 24, 2005 - 01:11 PM | Ryan Shrout
I forgot to post this last week, but GDHardware has a review of the new Athlon 64 FX-57 processor that will be announced on the 27th of this month.
The real target audience for the FX-57 is going to be the ultra-gamer who insists on nothing but the absolute fastest gaming CPU money can buy. It simply crushes everything in its path in game performance and handles most of today's common applications with power to spare.
Intel Roadmap Details
Subject: Processors | June 16, 2005 - 02:58 PM | Ryan Shrout
Anandtech is looking at the near future of Intel's roadmaps including the Presler and Cedar Mill cores.
As we mentioned earlier, two Cedar Mills running at lower clock speeds will compose a Presler dual core processor (Smithfield's replacement). HyperThreading, EIST, XD and EM64T are enabled on all of these new processors. Furthermore, all Cedar Mill chips will also receive VT technology, with the exception of the Pentium 4 631. The Pentium 4 631 and 633 are identical except the absence of VT in the 631.
The Pentium D Processor
Intel released the Pentium D line up along with the Extreme Edition processor last month, but we are finally starting to see them for sale in the channel. Should you be looking at the low cost 820 for your next upgrade?
Apple to Use Intel Microprocessors Beginning in 2006
Subject: Processors | June 7, 2005 - 03:27 AM | Joe White
WWDC 2005, SAN FRANCISCO—June 6, 2005—At its Worldwide Developer Conference today, Apple® announced plans to deliver models of its Macintosh® computers using Intel® microprocessors by this time next year, and to transition all of its Macs to using Intel microprocessors by the end of 2007. Apple previewed a version of its critically acclaimed operating system, Mac OS® X Tiger, running on an Intel-based Mac® to the over 3,800 developers attending CEO Steve Jobs' keynote address.
Apple to Officially Move from IBM to Intel Processors
Subject: Processors | June 6, 2005 - 07:26 PM | Ryan Shrout
This is really a blow to the stomach for AMD with Steve Jobs officially announcing that they are going to Intel for their Mac line of computers. So many times we thought we had seen AMD nearly sign up with Apple for this exact deal, but it would seem that AMD's smaller fab capabilities are holding it back yet again.
One interesting point though is that with the Intel chips in Macs, that means an official x86 version of Mac OS X should be released soon, so maybe AMD users that build their own systems can still get the Mac experience if they wish to?
Marketing Talk
After the first day of Computex, three of AMD's executives sat down with a handful of press for a small Q&A session that covered some candid topics on Intel's products as well as their own.
AMD Showcases Wide-Ranging Motherboard Support For Dual-Core AMD64 Processors
Subject: Processors | May 31, 2005 - 12:54 PM | Joe White

AMD and partners have shown a sustained commitment to AMD64 technology with dual-core support for the world's highest performing x86-based 32- and 64-bit processors.
AMD 'Shatters The Hourglass' With The Arrival Of The AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor
Subject: Processors | May 31, 2005 - 12:53 PM | Joe White
COMPUTEX, TAIPEI, TAIWAN -- May 31, 2005 --Completing the world's only broad dual-core client and server processor line-up, AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the immediate availability of the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core processor. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor is poised to deliver an experience unmatched in the industry, targeting prosumer and digital media enthusiasts, as well as those who run many software applications simultaneously.
Ever Want a 16 Core Opteron System?
Subject: Processors | May 27, 2005 - 02:38 PM | Ryan Shrout
Yeah, me too. But in the mean time you can look at this website that has some benchmarks from one of them. How does a SiSoft CPU benchmark results of 171167 Dhrystone and 72739 Whetstone sound to you? Did I mention the system had a 128 GB of memory???
Shortly after WinHEC 2005, IWill (the maker of some great motherboards and sweet sff products) generously allowed me to touch their highest performing Opteron system. This was not your everyday dual or quad opteron system - it was an 8-way

The ingredients of the Calm Legs® formula have been shown in controlled clinical trials to be effective for reducing symptoms of Restless Legs (RLS).
With superior raw materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing in an FDA registered facility, we ensure that the entire Calm Legs® formulation is highly absorbable, safe and effective.
IRON (Ferrous Fumarate) 8MG: The most common nutritional deficiency in the world, iron deficiency can cause Restless Legs (RLS) by lowering brain dopamine levels. Used successfully for over 50 years, iron may be the most well-established natural Restless Legs (RLS) support nutrient. Researchers have suggested supplemental iron may produce significant relief from Restless Legs (RLS) symptoms.
MAGNESIUM (Magnesium Oxide) 270MG: Magnesium calms the nervous system, settling "excitable" neurons while boosting neurotransmitter production. Magnesium also plays a key role in leg muscle relaxation that is crucial for relief from Restless Legs (RLS). Studies have shown that supplemental magnesium improves quality of sleep while serving as a useful therapy for Restless Legs (RLS) symptoms.
VALERIAN (Root) 800MG: This soothing herb has been prized for its relaxing effects since ancient Greece and Rome. For those with RLS sleep disruptions from Restless Legs (RLS), valerian is clinically shown to accelerate sleep onset, enhance sleep quality and reduce nighttime awakenings. Researchers have suggested that valerian is a safe herb for managing RLS Restless Legs (RLS) without side effects.
VITAMIN C (Ascorbic Acid) 200MG: Restless Legs (RLS) are linked to bad circulation and unhealthy blood vessels. Vitamin C is famous for promoting flexible, healthy blood vessels. Vitamin C also boosts iron absorption, "regenerates" vitamin E and enhances circulation to the legs and feet. Research has found that vitamin C supplementation brings significant reductions in Restless Legs (RLS) symptoms.
VITAMIN E (dl Alpha-Tocopheryl) 400MG: Calm Legs® Vitamin E is a Restless Legs (RLS) relief multi-tasker that promotes flexible arteries, boosts leg circulation, modulates inflammation and supports healthy nervous system function. Recent research found that vitamin E supplementation was associated with "prompt and gratifying relief" of nighttime leg cramping.
FOLIC ACID 800MCG: Folic acid is crucial for maintaining calm, settled legs, especially in deficiency-risk populations like pregnant women and the elderly. In fact, research has suggested that up to 27% of pregnant women experience Restless Legs (RLS) symptoms. Calm Legs® supplies a precisely calibrated dose to support ideal folic acid blood levels for relief from Restless Legs (RLS).
VITAMIN B-12 (Cyanocobalamin) 300MCG: Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) scientific reviews have reported that B12 deficiency appears to be a cause of Restless Legs (RLS) flare-ups. CalmLegs® supplies Vitamin B12 to help stabilize nerve fibers and ease the nervous system sensitivity that is associated with Restless Legs (RLS), providing meaningful relief from this condition.
