2001 Water Symposium: Water Pollution in Urban and Rural Settings

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute, the Federal Water Quality Association and the National Capital Chapter of the American Water Resources Association co-hosted the 2001 Water Symposium: Water Pollution In Urban And Rural Settings.The symposium examined the relative contributions of urban and rural areas to nonpoint source water pollution, and examined innovative approaches and possible synergies to improve water quality in both urban and rural portions of watersheds. Timothy L. Miller, chief of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA), outlined the major findings from 10 years of monitoring and assessing both surface and groundwater contamination in 140 rural/agricultural watersheds and more than 40 urbanized watersheds. The assessments show that water quality is affected by local land and water uses and practices, as well as population density. The urbanized study areas typically involved suburban type residential and commercial land use and low to medium population density, rather than heavily developed urban cores. Urbanized areas grew by 16 million acres between 1992 and 1995, or four to five million acres per year.For both urban and agricultural areas, nonpoint source chemical contamination is a problem. Generally such contamination was found to occur more frequently and at greater concentrations in urbanized areas, which cover less than 5 percent of the land in the continental United States, than in farming areas, which cover more than 50 percent. In both agricultural and urban settings, nutrients and pesticides were found, but the urban areas also contained volatile organics, trace metals and high insecticide concentrations. Contamination from urban areas also appeared to have a more significant detrimental influence on aquatic life. In response to a question, Miller said that arsenic exceeding the current 50 ppb (parts per billion) federal standard was found in a handful of samples, but many more exceeded the proposed 10 ppb standard

Cardiovascular Disease: Analyzing Primary and Secondary Prevention Strategies

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the single most common cause of death around the world, with an increasing number of people living with coronary heart disease (CHD) (Anderson et al., 2016). Smoking and tobacco use are major risk factors for CVD and are the leading preventable causes of death globally. The chance of developing CVD is reversible and the elimination of tobacco use after a heart attack can reduce an individual\u27s risk of CVD mortality by 36% over two years (Rigotti & Clari, 2013). Smoking cessation is the central element of primary and secondary prevention strategies. Primary interventions can include aspirin and statin therapy, while secondary preventions include, but are not limited to, exercise-based rehabilitation and psychosocial interventions. The purpose of this project is to determine whether primary or secondary interventions are more effective in reducing the risk of developing CVD. To answer the clinical question, a thorough review of the literature was organized in the databases, Cochrane Library, National Guideline Clearinghouse, CINAHL, and PubMed Clinical Queries. The search yielded relevant sources of evidence which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Evidence included systematic reviews and randomized control trials. The findings regarding the best interventions to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease will be presented. These findings will assist healthcare providers in implementing the best quality of care to their patients

Working Welfare Recipients: A Comparison of the Family Support Act and the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act

This Note compares the work requirements of the Family Support Act ( FSA ) with those promulgated by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act ( PRWORA ) This Note concludes that the fairest and most effective welfare program offers a combination of work, education, and training, and proposes suggestions for implementing the existing work requirements to ensure long-term self sufficiency for welfare recipients

Sovereign Immunity for Rent: How the Commodification of Tribal Sovereign Immunity Reflects the Failures of the U.S. Patent System

Last year, a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company attempted to rent the sovereign immunity of an American Indian tribe in order to shield its patents on a dry-eye drug from invalidation by generic competitors in inter partes review. Pharmaceutical firms are notorious for pursuing unconventional methods to extend the duration of their patents and, in this sense, the maneuver is unsurprising. The exploitation, however, of an historically disenfranchised community with limited economic opportunities is particularly unsettling. This Article will provide, firstly, a factual summary of the legal background of this case; secondly, a review of the February 2018 decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) to deny the application of tribal sovereign immunity in this case; thirdly, a review of the July 2018 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, affirming the PTAB’s decision; fourthly, a discussion of the ways in which the precedent set by Allergan’s maneuver may adversely affect consumer welfare by undermining the process of inter partes review; fifthly, an analysis of the history of tribal sovereign immunity and how its exploitation in this case reflects the historic oppression of American Indians; and finally, strategies to deter such transactions from recurring in the future

The Christian Periodical Index, ACL’s Longest Service Project

When the Christian Librarians’ Fellowship (CLF) was first formed in 1956, those early librarians were not just focused on their own needs, but they were also concerned with the information needs of students at Christian institutions. Part of their earliest vision was the establishment of the Christian Periodical Index (CPI).And so began a project which continues to the present day. It has far exceeded anyone’s vision at the time if its creation. Who knew about the coming explosion of publishing – to say nothing about the Internet! Yet the mission of CPI – to provide access to English language articles and reviews from an evangelical perspective – has not changed in 50 years, though it has broadened its target group from the original CLF membership
