The August 2006 DirectX SDK download contains the
The August 2006 DirectX SDK download contains the tools needed to build cutting-edge, media-rich, interactive applications. It includes run-times, headers and libraries, samples, documentation, utilities, and support for C++ and Managed Code development. NOTE: This DirectX SDK contains Direct3D 10 components that are not usable until the Windows Vista RC1 release. Do not install this SDK in Windows Vista for releases prior to RC1.
What's New in the August 2006 DirectX SDK
This version of the DirectX SDK contains the following new features, tools, and documentation.
PIX: Direct3D 9 Shader Debugging
PIX now enables you to debug vertex shaders and pixel shaders inside of a single frame capture. You can step through the assembly instructions, set breakpoints, and restart the shader from the beginning. If the shader was compiled with debug information and if the HLSL source file is available, the source code will be shown as well. Currently the shader debugger shows register contents. In future releases it will also show the contents of HLSL variables and will allow source-level stepping.
PIX: Current Mesh Viewing
It is now possible to view the mesh data for the currently selected draw call event. The 3D data is displayed in wireframe and numeric forms for each stage of the rendering pipeline: before vertex processing, after vertex processing, after the geometry shader, and in screen space. This allows you to inspect how the data changes as it flows through the pipeline for each draw call event.
XACT: 3D Pan Property
New properties on the Play event allow a sound designer to specify a panning direction for wave playback of mono or multichannel content. See the XACT Event, Play Wave reference for more information.
Direct3D 10 Technology Preview
Samples and applications built with the Direct3D ® 10 Technology Preview in the August 2006 DirectX ® SDK require Windows ® Vista TM RC1 to run. The Windows Vista RC1 will be available to MSDN ® subscribers.
Developers will notice that syntax has changed for several of the Direct3D 10 core APIs between the Windows Vista Beta 2 and Windows Vista RC1. Several APIs have been added, renamed, or removed. For a full list of changes, please refer to the August release notes.
New Technical Articles
This release includes three new technical articles:
Graphics APIs in Windows Vista: describes the new display driver model.
Coding For Multiple Cores on Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows: gives some advice on how to get started with multithreaded programming.
Making Video Games Accessible: Business Justifications and Design Considerations: descibes how to add basic accessibility features to games.
Skinning10 Sample
The Skinning10 sample demonstrates four different methods to perform skinning on Direct3D 10 hardware.
dlTube.net did not scan DirectX SDK 9.0c August 2006 for viruses, adware, spyware or other badware.
For your own safety, we recommend that you always have an antivirus, with virus definitions up to date, installed on your computer when downloading and installing programs from the web.

NWC defeats Rocky Mountain JV, Little Big Horn
Head coach Andy Ward and his Northwest College men's basketball team extended their winning streak to four games with a pair of victories in the annual Lions Club tournament in Sheridan last Friday and Saturday.
The Trappers, who began their winning streak with victories over Williston State College and then-No. 6 Northeastern Junior College in Powell Nov. 21-22, ended last week's tournament with an 85-70 decision over Rocky Mountain's junior varsity squad and a 108-79 victory over Little Big Horn College. The victories helped NWC improve to 5-5 overall.
"It was a good tournament for us," Ward said. "We were able to play everybody, and as a team, I thought the guys did a nice job. It's nice to be at .500. Getting their has been an uphill battle. But more importantly, we're emphasizing the improvement we've made since the start of the season. We're doing a lot of things better, but we still need to be able to play every game with the intensity we showed during our recent win over Northeastern. That's the kind of intensity we want to see every time we step on the floor."
NWC 85, Rocky Mountain JV 70
The Trappers posted a 15-point victory over the Battlin' Bears during the tournament's opening day Friday.
Ward said the Trappers struggled some in the first half, but a strong showing during the final 20 minutes helped set the tone for the rest of the event. NWC trailed 32-31 at halftime, but rallied to secure a convincing victory.
"We were able to jump out to a 10-point lead in the first seven minutes or so, but we had some missed shots after getting some good looks at the basket," Ward said. "We also didn't play as well as we could have on the defensive end.
"In the second half, I thought we played a lot better. We shot the ball really well. We were more aggressive with our shot selection, and we just played with a lot more intensity overall."
Among the Trappers who enjoyed solid performances against Rocky Mountain were sophomore Julian Olubuyi and freshman Casper Hesseldal. Olubuyi finished with 25 points, and Hesseldal added 17 points. Cody Ball added 13 points to aid the winning effort. For Rocky Mountain's junior varsity, Elvis Old Bull, Jr. was the leading scorer with 25 points.
"Julian was strong for us from start to finish," Ward said. "Casper played especially well in the second half. That's when he got the majority of his points."
Ward added that Hesseldal, who sustained an ankle sprain Nov. 15, appears to be reaching 100 percent as far as his health is concerned. When Hesseldal initially sustained the injury, it was feared the freshman had suffered a break and would be lost for much of the season.
"Casper was our leading scorer when he went out," Ward said. "Fortunately, he's been able to play, and it sure is nice to have him on the court. He's another good scoring option for us. He's still not 100 percent, but he's getting there."
NWC 108, Little Big Horn 79
On Saturday, the Trappers won a high-scoring contest with Little Big Horn College during day two of the tournament. NWC raced to a 54-32 lead at halftime, and continued its hot shooting in the second half. For the game, NWC shoot 54 percent (42 of 77).
"We knew Little Big Horn was going to put up a lot of shots," Ward said. "With that in mind, we needed to play solid defense, and we needed to do a good job on the boards. We outrebounded them 42-35, and I thought we did pretty well from the beginning to the end.
"We also wanted to push the ball when we were on offense. I told the guys to run because we knew if we pushed the ball hard, we'd be able to get some easy baskets at the other end."
The Trappers finished with six players in double digits in scoring, including sophomore Jordan Harris, who led NWC with 16 points. Other leading scorers for NWC were Ball (14 points), Mitchell Ackelson (11), Jay Peters (11), Carnell Calhoun (10) and Keith Kegerreis (10). In the rebounding department, freshman Ricardo Bodra continued to be a major force for the Trappers. He finished with a team-leading 11 rebounds during his 17 minutes of playing time."
• Up next: The Trappers have two games scheduled this week, and both will be played during the Eastern Wyoming College Tournament in Torrington Friday and Saturday. NWC will face the tournament's host team, EWC, Friday at 7 p.m. On Saturday, the Trappers will face Western Nebraska Community College at 3 p.m.
"Those are two very good teams, so we have to be ready to play," Ward said.
Following the tournament, the Trappers will have one more game left on the schedule before the start of the Christmas break. That game, against Laramie County Community College, is slated for Friday, Dec. 12, at NWC.
That game currently has a scheduled 7:30 p.m. start time, but Ward said that could change.
"We're looking to play that one earlier in the day Friday or possibly move it to Saturday (Dec. 13)," Ward said.
Any change in the game time or playing date with LCCC will be published in the Powell Tribune as soon as that information becomes available.

A recent survey shows it's cheaper to buy a home than rent in many of the largest metropolitan areas.
According to real estate site Trulia.com, in 98 of 100 of the largest cities, the monthly cost to rent is more expensive than a mortgage payment, mainly because home prices have fallen so much.
Purchasing was cheapest in Detroit, Oklahoma City, and Dayton, Ohio.
San Francisco and Honolulu are the two cities where renting is cheapest. A tight supply of homes pushed values up in those cities.
According to brokerage firm CBRE, the average monthly rent for an apartment was $1,263 in the fourth quarter, which is the highest since 2008.

Your Guide to Nontoxic Toys
The best wooden, organic cotton, and all-around safe toys for babies and kids
Young Children Cotton to Cotton
Stuffed animals and dolls are the perfect toys for creative young children. Toddlers and preschoolers enjoy animating them through imaginative play, and babies like to explore the textures and shapes with their hands and mouths. But stain- and moth-proofed cotton, synthetics, and wool used in stuffed and soft fabric toys can contain azo dyes, which can be carcinogenic. And cotton crops account for one quarter of the insecticide use worldwide. Be sure that the cotton toys you buy are made from certified organic and/or untreated cotton and wool colored with nontoxic colorfast dyes. Here are some good options.
Organic Gift Shop sells Froggy Friend, an easily-animated, green cotton amphibian whose hands and feet can be dipped in water and frozen—a welcome remedy for the sore gums of a teething baby!

1800 East Oakton Street
November 25, 2002
Marvin Nichols
VIA E-MAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com
RE: Comments in Response to MSHA Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking - Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure of Underground Metal/Nonmetal Miners
Dear Mr. Nichols:
On behalf of its 30,000 member safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) offers the following comments in response to the September 25, 2002, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning amendments to its existing health standard regulating diesel particulate matter (DPM) exposure in underground metal/nonmetal mines (67 Fed. Reg. 60199).
ASSE agrees that it is essential to address this occupational health risk by establishing concentration limits (CL) that are both protective of miners and technically and economically feasible. ASSE participated actively in the original DPM rulemaking process and appreciates the opportunity to provide further input on this critical issue through this ANPRM, which resulted from the settlement agreement reached in response to legal challenges to the January 19, 2001, final DPM rule for metal/nonmetal mines.
The Society believes that MSHA took the correct action in largely staying enforcement of the interim CL of 400 ug/m3 until July 2003 to allow mine operators time to implement control strategies and maintenance programs as well as to determine how much equipment, if any, must be replaced and whether more costly changes to mine ventilation systems will prove necessary. Now, MSHA is in the process of refining its sampling and analytical methods - as well as determining the appropriate surrogate for DPM "after the fact" - and the results of this research may not be clear for some time. Also, it is our understanding that some basic data on exposure levels in sample isolated zones may not be known until early next year. Therefore, ASSE urges the agency again to be deliberative and refrain from issuing a proposed rule until it has compiled and analyzed all necessary data and made the information public for review by the regulated community. Proper deliberation is possible since MSHA has taken a commendable step forward in developing compliance guides for DPM reduction that can be used during the time rulemaking is pending. ASSE knows MSHA will continue such assistance.
Although MSHA has posed many specific questions in the ANPRM, ASSE's comments focus on the following key areas that must be addressed before MSHA proceeds with further regulation:
ASSE is concerned it may be premature to determine some of these issues in light of the ongoing research by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the paucity of real-world sampling data under the current 400 ug/m3 standard that would demonstrate whether that more liberal level is attainable given the control technology on the market and the various ventilation systems present in the affected mines, and the problems that the coal industry has encountered while using some of the filtration systems recommended by MSHA. Those problems include, but are not limited to, increased CO levels in mines using platinum filters to reduce DPM emissions, and paper filters that catch fire and pose a significant safety hazard in gassy mines.
Given this uncertainty, ASSE urges the agency to refrain from taking any further regulatory actions until these problems are addressed head-on and the agency can assure mine operators that control devices are available in the market that are both efficient and safe for use in the underground working environment. If more research is needed to reach such a conclusion, then MSHA and NIOSH should dedicate the necessary resources to conduct such surveys and field tests before mandating a further lowering of the concentration limit while technology lags behind.
Economic Feasibility
With respect to economic feasibility, more experience under the 400 ug/m3 (TC) standard is needed before accurate cost projections can be quantified. Section 101(a)(6)(A) of the 1977 Mine Act requires MSHA to determine that its standards are feasible. At the present time, no one can accurately predict whether the covered mines can consistently meet the 400 ug/m3 level - much less whether they could ever reduce levels to 160 ug/m3.
In the ANPRM, MSHA stated, "(N)ew information on the technological and economic feasibility of current control technology was presented to MSHA [after the DPM rule was finalized]." ASSE urges the agency to take the time necessary to fully consider this new information, solicit additional data from mine operators who are now attempting to implement the interim CL, and perform a second regulatory impact analysis before issuing a second final rule governing diesel exposures in the mining workplace.
Since the original DPM rule was promulgated, President Bush signed Executive Order 13272 (August 13, 2002), "Proper Consideration of Small Entities in Agency Rulemaking." MSHA must comply with that order when revising the DPM rule. Also, any scientific or economic data employed for this rule must pass muster under the agency's new "Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility and Integrity of Information Disseminated by Federal Agencies." See 67 Fed. Reg. 8452 (February 22, 2002).
MSHA should remain open to the idea of extending the stay on enforcement of the 400 ug/m3 concentration limit for those mine operators who are acting in good faith to reduce DPM exposures - particularly since the technical feasibility of this interim level has not been proven and MSHA's own "baseline sampling" activities will not be completed until July 2003. In addition, the Engine Manufacturers Association has noted that the filters specified in MSHA's Diesel Toolbox "are simply not add-on devices and cannot be unconditionally applied to all existing engines." EMA Letter to MSHA (May 22, 2002).
ASSE recognizes that costs associated with compliance include review and modification of equipment and ventilation system; utilization of control methodology (including filters and after-treatment devices); shifts to low sulfur fuels; more frequent equipment maintenance; and additional training of mechanics. However, it is impossible to quantify these costs with the data available. The coal industry's experience suggests that MSHA underestimated costs of replacing filters and other control devices by several levels of magnitude. MSHA should review that data before making a determination on the economic feasibility of the current metal/nonmetal rule and any modifications to it.
Use of PPE
ASSE's historical position is that exposures to potentially hazardous chemicals in the workplace should be reduced through engineering controls. Where that is not possible, administrative controls should be applied and then, as a last resort, PPE should be employed to protect workers satisfactorily. The current available information suggests that engineering controls may not be adequate in managing DPM exposures.
Therefore, at least during the first few years of enforcement, mine operators should be able to combine various control methodologies as they attempt to lower DPM levels and gradually phase in newer, cleaner-burning heavy equipment. ASSE does not presently make a recommendation on the length of this phase-in period. Once MSHA and mine operators have more sampling data available, it will be more apparent whether certain categories of mines will require additional time and/or greater flexibility in attaining the interim concentration limit.
Use of EC as a Marker
ASSE agrees with MSHA's apparent intent to shift from using TC to using EC as a marker for DPM. This makes sense, as the specified NIOSH Method 5040 was developed to analyze EC, and it has not been proven accurate at measuring TC instead. If MSHA is going to subject mine operators to monetary penalties based on a single sample, it must ensure that such samples are accurately obtained and analyzed. Therefore, utilization of EC as the surrogate for DPM should improve the validity of samples obtained by both MSHA and mine operators in calculating the levels to which miners are exposed.
MSHA must still recognize that there may be confounding factors in the underground mine environment (e.g., cigarette smoke, oil mist, and naturally occurring carbonic ores) that can mimic DPM and could skew results and make it appear that miners are exposed to higher levels that are actually present in the work environment. In addition, ASSE agrees that MSHA should use only personal samples for enforcement purposes, rather than using area samples which may not be reflective of occupational exposures because they could be taken near equipment tailpipes or in remote areas where miners rarely travel or work.
Moreover, the 160 ug/m3 "final" concentration level that was designated in the January 2001 rule appears to have been arbitrarily selected without a basis in any epidemiological study or risk assessment (a point raised by ASSE in its original comments). Because MSHA must adhere to the new guidelines on the integrity of scientific data in promulgating a final rule, it should withdraw the 160 ug/m3 final concentration limit and reopen the record for a complete review of the current state of science to determine whether, in fact, any lower level is warranted.
Opportunity for Full Partnership
ASSE understands that NIOSH and the metal/nonmetal mining industry and related unions are developing a partnership that would further investigate diesel health issues, exposure monitoring, and economically feasible DPM control technologies. As you know, ASSE has a Mining Practice Specialty, and we offer our assistance to work with the partnership on this important project. It is our hope that this tripartite project can yield important information about current exposure levels and answer the critical questions concerning the efficacy of control methodologies. Involving the organizations representing the SH&E professionals who will be responsible for their implementation can only help inform this process.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments. ASSE looks forward to participating actively in any future rulemaking actions, public hearings, or stakeholder meetings on this critical health issue impacting our nation's miners.

On Tuesday, Governor Dayton and DFL legislative leaders held a press conference to talk about middle class investments made in the Minnesota state budget
The budget passed by Governor Dayton and the DFL legislature puts fairness back in the system. It strengthens Minnesota's middle class and our economy by lowering property taxes and making investments in education and job creation to move Minnesota forward.
The budget closes the deficit for the long term and makes spending cuts and reforms. It pays for new investments in education and job creation by asking the richest 2% of Minnesotans to pay their fair share and closing corporate tax loopholes.
Sign up for Governor Dayton's newsletter to receive updates as he signs bills into law.
Continuing its mission to promote Minnesota small business, the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) launched a new blog today aimed at providing practical guidance for aspiring entrepreneurs and new business owners in Minnesota.
Dubbed Minnesota Business 101, the weekly blog touches on topics ranging from how to organize and register a business to licensing, regulations and financing. It will focus primarily on helping new business owners navigate through DEED's Guide to Starting a New Business in Minnesota.
"Small businesses re the driving force of the economy and account for half of our private sector jobs in Minnesota," said DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben. "This new blog is just one tool we are using to connect those hoping to start a small business with the expertise and resources we offer at DEED."
Minnesota Business 101 will also include videos offering expert guidance from DEED consultants, advice from real Minnesota small-business owners, and profiles of small businesses. The blog launches today and will appear on Mondays in the future. Check it out at: http://mnbusiness101.wordpress.com/.
DEED is the state's principal economic development agency, promoting business recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce development, international trade and community development. For more details about the agency and our services, visit DEED at www.PositivelyMinnesota.com. You can also follow DEED on Twitter at www.twitter.com/PositivelyMN.
This month, Governing Magazine (one of the most credible sources of nonpartisan news and policy analysis covering state and local governments) reported the results of a new survey conducted by Thumbtack.com and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation ranking the Most (and Least) Small Business-Friendly States in the country.
According to the survey, Minnesota ranked 11th in the nation for overall business friendliness, confirming our state remains one of the best places in the United States to start, own, and expand a small business.
According to Governing Magazine:
"When it comes to how business-friendly an area is, smaller companies care about much more than just taxes...Training and networking programs were found to be the best predictor of overall scores, followed by a state's economy and licensing requirements.
"In fact, the majority of businesses surveyed didn't think their taxes were unfairly high. The larger the business, though, the more negatively it perceived its taxes.
"When a small business owner decides where to set up shop, they're most likely to choose where they already reside. For this reason, taxes typically aren't their chief concern initially, said Katie McConnell, a senior associate with the National League of Cities' Center for Research and Innovation."
Neighboring Wisconsin ranked 17th for overall business friendliness, and Iowa ranked 21st. In addition to being ranked the 11th best state to own a small business, Minnesota received an A- grade for overall business friendliness, which was a marked improvement from the B grade Minnesota received in 2012.
You can read more about the survey, and how Minnesota's small business environment compares to other states, on the Governing.com website.
Minnesotans need a strong economy we can depend on for good jobs, living wages, and a strong middle class. That is why Governor Dayton's budget invests in measures to create jobs, strengthen our infrastructure, and make Minnesota a more competitive place to do business. These investments will yield new jobs, vibrant communities, and additional state and local tax revenues that will far exceed these initial investments.
Investing an Additional $86.5 million in Economic Development
Creating thousands of jobs by leveraging $1.475 billion in private investment.
Saint Paul – This morning, Governor Dayton released his bonding proposal which would put 21,000 Minnesotans back to work on critical projects to improve Minnesota's infrastructure. Leaders representing working families from around the state welcomed the Governor's proposal and lauded him for his commitment to creating good jobs in Minnesota.
"Governor Dayton recognizes that despite strong job growth over the last year, we cannot simply rest on our laurels and hope that growth continues. Governor Dayton's jobs and infrastructure bill is a proactive plan that will create 21,000 new private sector jobs. This is especially good news for workers in the building and construction trades, a sector that has not experienced the same post-recession rebound that other industries have. Minnesota will only maintain our economic leadership if we make investments in our future. Governor Dayton recognizes that improving our aging infrastructure is part of that future. We are confident that Legislators also recognize the need to create jobs and improve our infrastructure and will send a bill to the Governor's desk this session."
- Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson
"I applaud Governor Dayton for proposing investments in Minnesota's infrastructure. This proposal will put construction workers to work in every corner of Minnesota repairing, rebuilding, and expanding public structures and facilities that will benefit us all."
- John Raines, Executive Secretary-Treasurer, North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters
"With today's announcement, Governor Dayton demonstrated his continued commitment to creating good jobs here in Minnesota. Investments in our infrastructure will put thousands of Minnesotans back to work on projects that will position our state for success in the future."
- Harry Melander, President, Saint Paul Building & Construction Trades Council
Today, Governor Mark Dayton introduced a bonding proposal that would invest $750 million in infrastructure projects statewide, creating an estimated 21,000 Minnesota jobs. The plan – which builds on the Governor's proposed budget measures to get Minnesotans back to work – would address many of the state's needed infrastructure improvements and strengthen Minnesota's economy.
A Fair and Responsible Budget that Invests in the Middle Class
Today, Governor Dayton released a revised budget plan today that responsibly resolves the state's budget deficit and makes crucial investments in Minnesota's future. The Governor's proposal focuses on improving the lives of Minnesotans by making major investments in education, job creation, and a stronger middle class.
First, Governor Dayton's budget makes $640 million of long-overdue investments in education. The Governor's budget would provide access to high-quality early education for 10,000 young children, fund all-day Kindergarten for 46,000 kids, and increase school funding for every district in the state. His budget would also deliver the largest increase in direct student aid in 25 years, along with needed investments in the MnSCU system and the University of Minnesota to train our workforce for the jobs of the future.
The Governor's budget also makes needed investments in job creation. Minnesotans need a strong economy we can depend on for good jobs, living wages, and a strong middle class. That is why Governor Dayton's budget invests $86.5 million in proven economic development initiatives that will create thousands of jobs and leverage nearly $1.5 billion in additional private investment in Minnesota's economy.
Governor Dayton's budget plan would also provide property tax relief to Minnesota families and businesses. His budget would increase funding for the renter's credit, fully-fund the homeowner's property tax refund program, and increase aid to local governments by $120 million.
These new investments are made possible by asking the wealthiest 2 percent of Minnesotans to pay their fair share in taxes and closing unfair corporate tax loopholes enjoyed by just a handful of corporations.
According to the Department of Revenue's most recent tax incidence study, most low- and middle-income earners in Minnesota pay about 20 percent more as a share of their income in state and local taxes than the wealthiest Minnesotans. In order to address that disparity, honestly resolve our state's budget deficit, and make long overdue investments in education and job creation, the governor's budget asks the wealthiest 2 percent of Minnesotans to pay their fair share of income taxes.
Finally, the governor's budget delivers on his commitment to a Better Government for a Better Minnesota – ensuring Minnesotans get better public services for a better price. His budget delivers $5.1 billion in cost savings and reductions over four years through reform and responsible fiscal management.

In 2012, Gerdau Long Steel broke ground on a renovation project at its St. Paul plant. The renovation, made possible in part by a $249,000 MIF loan, will create a state-of-the-art facility for casting steel. This project helped create 40 new jobs.
The Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) helps Minnesota compete with other states and nations for new high-tech and manufacturing jobs. MIF helps encourage local firms that have options outside the state to expand here, and provides incentives for firms outside Minnesota to locate in our state. Over the last 8 years alone, the program has funded 53 projects, creating thousands of jobs and leveraging $587 million in private economic development.
Governor Dayton has proposed investing $30 million in MIF to enhance Minnesota's competitiveness, create thousands of new jobs, and leverage an estimated $990 million in private investment in Minnesota's economy.
Polaris Industries in Wyoming, MN
MIF Loan: $400,000 Est. New Jobs: 115-350
Polaris Industries, the Medina-based maker of all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, and motorcycles, broke ground in September 2012 on a 144,000 square foot expansion project at its research and development facility in Wyoming, Minnesota. The project, made possible in part by a $400,000 MIF loan, will double the size of the facility and create capacity for up to 350 more jobs. Polaris has committed to creating 115 permanent jobs within two years.
Gerdau Long Steel in St. Paul, MN
MIF Loan: $249,000 Est. New Jobs: 40
In 2012, Gerdau Long Steel broke ground on a renovation project at its St. Paul plant. The renovation, made possible in part
by a $249,000 MIF loan, will create a state-of-the-art facility for casting steel. This project helped create 40 new jobs.
One of the projects overseen by the MPCA was the construction of the Maplewood Mall stormwater system, which will contribute to the improvement in Kohlmann Lake's water quality by preventing 50 pounds of phosphorus and five tons of sediment per year from entering the lake.
Some of the most innovative engineering projects undertaken in Minnesota in 2012 were set into motion as a result of environmental initiatives undertaken by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
The American Council of Engineering Companies of Minnesota (ACEC/MN) recently announced the winners of its 2013 Engineering Excellence awards. Several of the 29 award-winning projects were set into motion as a result of environmental initiatives undertaken by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
The projects represent some of the most innovative engineering work undertaken in Minnesota in 2012. Some were directly funded or overseen by MPCA; others were initiated in response to the agency's environmental work. Three of these environmental projects will compete for recognition at the national level.
One of the award-winning projects converted an Edina parking garage into a new drinking water treatment plant. When it was discovered that the city's groundwater was contaminated with vinyl chloride, a new treatment system was needed to protect the quality of the water supply.
The MPCA provided financial support for the project's design, while the city funded construction and ongoing operation of the facility. The unique project, designed by the engineering firm AECOM, allowed the city to reuse an existing structure. This eliminated the need to use valuable green space for infrastructure improvements.
Another project recognized by ACEC/MN was an innovative stormwater management system at Maplewood Mall. The system, designed by Barr Engineering, will capture and treat 90% of the stormwater runoff at the site. It incorporates rain gardens, permeable pavement crosswalks, a cistern that captures roof runoff for irrigation, and some 200 trees.

Emerging Responses to Children Exposed to Domestic Violence
This document reviews the new research, policies, and programs focused on children who have witnessed adult domestic violence. It argues that the diversity of children's experiences requires equally diverse responses from those who serve them.
View Full Resource: PDF | HTML
VAWnet Summary:
Emerging Responses to Children Exposed to Domestic Violence by Jeffrey Edleson In consultation with Barbara Nissley (Updated July 2011).
In Brief:
Public attention to the effects of children's exposure to adult domestic violence has increased over the last decade. This attention focuses on both the impact of the exposure on children's development and on the likelihood that exposed children may be at greater risk for becoming either a child victim of physical or sexual abuse or an adult perpetrator of domestic violence. New research, policies, and programs focused on these children have resulted. These new efforts are reviewed in this document and an argument is made that the diversity of children's experiences requires equally diverse responses from our communities.
"Exposure to adult domestic violence" describes the multiple experiences of children living in homes where an adult is using physically violent behavior in a pattern of coercion against an intimate partner. Several studies on children exposed to adult domestic violence have indicated children's responses to violence may vary. Many exposed children show more aggressive and antisocial as well as fearful and inhibited behaviors, exhibit lower social competence, and have poorer academic performance (Kitzmann, Gaylord, Holt & Kenny, 2003; Wolfe, Crooks, Lee, McIntyre-Smith & Jaffe, 2003). Children also show similar emotional health to those of physically abused children (Kitzmann et al., 2003). Other children display more resiliency to the negative effects of exposure and have no greater social or emotional problems than those not exposed to domestic violence (Graham-Bermann, 2001). The more social support networks and family members in protective roles available to the child, the more resilient a child may become (Masten & Reed, 2002).
Laws relating to child exposure to adult domestic violence have changed considerably in the last decade. These laws focus most often on criminal prosecution of violent assaults, custody and visitation decision-making, and the child welfare system's response (Lemon, 1999; Mathews, 1999; Weithorn, 2001).
The implications of research findings and some of the states' experiences with legislation suggest several key points:
- Children's social environments and experiences vary greatly;
- The impact of exposure also varies greatly, even within the same families;
- Children have a variety of protective and risk factors present in their lives; and
- This varied group of children deserves a varied response from our communities.
Currently, there are only limited options available for children who have been exposed to domestic violence. These options sadly do not reflect adequate responses to the range of experiences exposed children may experience. Perhaps the greatest challenge is to develop voluntary systems of care for children who are exposed but not themselves direct victims of physical abuse. These systems of care often operate outside of child protection agencies and allow communities to rely on more than one type of response, thereby avoiding overwhelming the child protection system.
Communities across North America are significantly revising the way they think about children exposed to adult domestic violence. At local, county and state levels, communities are engaged in a variety of policy and programmatic actions to respond to these children and their families. The recently reauthorized federal Violence Against Women Act of 2005 for the first time addresses the needs of these children. We need to continue to develop multiple pathways into services and multiple responses by social institutions if we are to adequately address the needs of these children and help them to grow into emotionally and physically healthy adults.
