ZyLAB Launches 2012 Webinar Series with a Deep Dive into the eDiscovery Challenges for Construction Litigation on February 15

Jones Day's Steve Bennett and Mary Mack of ZyLAB to lead "De-Constructing eDiscovery".

2012-02-06

MCLEAN, VA, February 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) Today, ZyLAB, a leading eDiscovery and information management technology company, officially opened registration for "De-Construction eDiscovery: Special Challenges in Construction Litigation," featuring Steven C. Bennett, a partner with Jones Day in New York City, and Mary Mack, Esq., enterprise technology counsel for ZyLAB. The live, online event takes place on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 1:00 EST. To register, please visit https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/843596078. This program qualifies for one New York Areas of Professional Practice CLE credit.

"In conventional litigation, key facts need to be extracted from email, attachments, contracts and various other data formats, but during construction litigation, evidence may also be lurking in schematic drawings or AutoCAD files, building permits, and Gannt charts," said Mary Mack. "We will show construction attorneys how to extract relevant information from complex files with the same finesse as traditional sources of electronic evidence."

De-Constructing eDiscovery is the first program from the company's 2012 eDiscovery webinar series, and it will be followed by thought-provoking sessions on "Capturing the Cloud" and "Locating & Taming Potential Enterprise Hot Spots for Bribery" with Chris Dale from The e-Disclosure Information Project in March.

Last year, ZyLAB's webinar series featured guest appearances by Judge David Waxse (US District Court), Craig Ball (Special Master and Consultant), Maura Grossman (Litigation Counsel, Wachtell Lipton), Anthony Diana (Partner, Mayer Brown), David Isom (Attorney, Isom Law Firm), Bill Hamilton (Partner, Quarles & Brady) and Victoria Edelman (VP of Education, Association of Litigation Support Professionals). The series' topics spanned Proportionality, 21st Century Productions and Metadata, Technology Assisted Review, Cloud Based eDiscovery, Legal Risks of Social Media in the Workplace, Bridging the Gap between Legal and IT, and Location Based eDiscovery.

Land-cover changes do not impact glacier loss

2012-02-06

This press release is available in German. The composition of land surface – such as vegetation type and land use – regulates the interaction of radiation, sensible heat and humidity between the land surface and the atmosphere and, thus, influences ground level climate directly. For the first time, the Innsbruck climate scientists quantitatively examined whether land-cover changes (LCC) may potentially affect glacier loss. "We used Kilimanjaro in East Africa as a test case, where a significant decrease of forests at elevations between 1,800 and 3,000 meters, caused by ...

Genetic variant increases risk of common type stroke

2012-02-06

A genetic variant that increases the risk of a common type of stroke has been identified by scientists in a study published online in Nature Genetics today. This is one of the few genetic variants to date to be associated with risk of stroke and the discovery opens up new possibilities for treatment. Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide (more than one in 10 of all deaths, and over six million deaths annually), and also in developed countries is a major cause of chronic disability. As the world's populations age the impact of stroke on wellbeing is likely ...

Spine Injury Information Many Doctors Don't Explain

2012-02-06

How is a spine injury patient supposed to make an informed decision about his/her medical care if they don't understand the basics about the spine? The problem isn't as bad as it was a few decades ago, but many doctors still don't adequately explain the anatomy of the spine, the reasons for a patient's pain and the anticipated treatment plan when a patient goes to an orthopedist or neurosurgeon. All too frequently, I find myself performing the treating doctor's job by having to explain information to new clients that should have come from the doctor. Spine Anatomy: The ...

Crystalline materials enable high-speed electronic function in optical fibers

2012-02-06

Scientists at the University of Southampton, in collaboration with Penn State University have, for the first time, embedded the high level of performance normally associated with chip-based semiconductors into an optical fibre, creating high-speed optoelectronic function. The potential applications of such optical fibres include improved telecommunications and other hybrid optical/electronic technologies. This transatlantic team will publish its findings in the journal Nature Photonics this month. The team has taken a novel approach to the problems traditionally associated ...

Avoiding a DUI: Is There an App for That?

2012-02-06

Avoiding a DUI: Is There an App for That? Cell phone owners may have a new use for their favorite device. In addition to providing access to a host of applications for staying in touch with friends, tracking weather, playing games, shopping and keeping tabs on our expenses, your cell phone now may be able to help you avoid a DUI. Recently, several developers have created applications designed to tell users when they have had too much alcohol to operate a motor vehicle. It remains to be seen if the application is accurate or reliable enough to be of any use. How It ...

Steroids control gas exchange in plants

2012-02-06

Stanford, CA— Plants leaves are sealed with a gas-tight wax layer to prevent water loss. Plants breathe through microscopic pores called stomata (Greek for mouths) on the surfaces of leaves. Over 40% of the carbon dioxide, CO2, in the atmosphere passes through stomata each year, as well a water volume twice that of the whole atmosphere. As the key conduits for CO2 uptake and water evaporation, stomata are critical for both our climate and plant productivity. Thus, not surprisingly, the total number and distribution of stomata are strictly regulated by plants to optimize ...

Chemists develop faster, more efficient protein labeling

2012-02-06

North Carolina State University researchers have created specially engineered mammalian cells to provide a new "chemical handle" which will enable researchers to label proteins of interest more efficiently, without disrupting the normal function of the proteins themselves or the cells in which they are found. Protein labeling is used by researchers in a variety of fields to help them understand how these important molecules affect the normal functioning of cells. Currently, proteins are labeled for study simply by fusing them to other fluorescent proteins, which allows ...

Tree rings may underestimate climate response to volcanic eruptions

2012-02-06

Some climate cooling caused by past volcanic eruptions may not be evident in tree-ring reconstructions of temperature change because large enough temperature drops lead to greatly shortened or even absent growing seasons, according to climate researchers, who compared tree-ring temperature reconstructions with model simulations of past temperature changes. "We know these tree rings capture most temperature changes quite well," said Michael Mann, professor of meteorology and geosciences and director of the Penn State Earth System Science Center. "But the problem appears ...

4th R Foundation: Looking for That one Step Solution to Most of the Problems of the World?

2012-02-06

Eighty % of the world's brains have defective wiring. The brain's physical structure is defective and the mind's comprehension has bugs in it. This causes emotionally challenged behavior that results in all these individual and group problems. Main stream education has finally woken up to the essential need for emotional intelligence education but has still not realized the actual nature of human intelligence. Experts consider emotional intelligence and regular intelligence as two independent entities which enhance each other. Actually the relationship between emotional ...

UBC researchers discover key to immune cell's 'internal guidance' system

2012-02-06

University of British Columbia researchers have discovered the molecular pathway that enables receptors inside immune cells to find, and flag, fragments of pathogens trying to invade a host. The discovery of the role played by the molecule CD74 could help immunologists investigate treatments that offer better immune responses against cancers, viruses and bacteria, and lead to more efficient vaccines. The findings are published in this week's edition of Nature Immunology. "This could ultimately lead to a blueprint for improving the performance of a variety of vaccines, ...
