Media reports a library disaster: a case study at Colorado State University
The first section of this article surveys the literature regarding the news media's reporting of disasters. The second section describes the media reports of the July 1997 natural disaster's impact upon Morgan Library at Colorado State University. The third section analyzes the reports from Colorado State University's disaster as compared to the research literature, media by media: broadcast, national newspapers and wire services, Colorado (local) newspapers, library press, and specialized publications. The conclusion presents concerns about media reporting and the apparent lack of concern for accuracy; this case study serves as a warning to all librarians and researchers

Localized heating in nanoscale Pt constrictions measured using blackbody radiation emission
Using thermal emission microscopy, we investigate heating in Pt nanowires
before and during electromigration. The wires are observed to reach
temperatures in excess of 1000 K. This is beyond the thermal decomposition
threshold for many organic molecules of interest for single molecule
measurements with electromigrated nanogaps. Blackbody spectra of the hot Pt
wires are measured and found to agree well with finite element modeling
simulations of the electrical and thermal transport.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
How can the Christian worshipping community be a safe place for those living with non-suicidal self-injury?
Within contemporary society, there has been a greater understanding of issues of mental health and well-being. However, it could be argued that this awareness heavily focuses on issues of depression and anxiety and negates research into more complex issues such as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). This paper seeks to explore the issue of NSSI and where it fits within Christian theology and the pastoral practices of the Christian worshipping community

Reply to Kiers et al.: Economic and Biological Clarity in the Theory of Mutualism
Kiers et al. (1) make three main points. First, they noted that many mutualisms involve multiple symbionts interacting with a single host. We agree, and we explained that partner fidelity feedback (PFF) can function because plants generally “limit, withdraw, or even abscise investment in shoots, flowers, and roots (or subsets of any of these) after physical damage or deficits of… resources…” (2). This “modularity” of plant hosts (3) separates the effects of different symbionts and allows the host to react to individual symbionts. Modularity is easily incorporated into our model, because (with no change in our results) principal-agent theory allows the assumption of one agent per host to be replaced …Organismic and Evolutionary Biolog
Feminist Scholarship Review: Women and Music

New Criminal Law Review Symposium on Privilege or Punish: Criminal Justice and the Challenge of Family Ties
This symposium includes three review essays by Professors Doug Berman, Naomi Cahn, and Jack Chin. The review essays are focused on a recent book by Professors Dan Markel, Jennifer M. Collins and Ethan J. Leib entitled \u27Privilege or Punish: Criminal Justice and the Challenge of Family Ties\u27 (Oxford 2009). You can download the entire book for free at http://ssrn.com/abstract=1677503. In addition to the three review essays, the collection includes an essay by the book\u27s authors that serves as a reply to this set of critiques. Collectively, we are grateful to the New Criminal Law Review, which is hosting this collection in an upcoming issue. The essays are titled, respectively: Berman: Digging Deeper into, and Thinking Better about, the Interplay of Families and Criminal Justice Cahn: Protect and Preserve? Chin: Mandatory, Contingent, and Discretionary Policy Arguments Collins, Leib & Markel: (When) Should Family Status Matter in the Criminal Justice System
