 ATSDR - Water Distribution System Model, Dover Township Area, New Jersey
At the conclusion of the test, data from each pressure logger was retrieved by downloading the data to a Psion HC-120™ hand-held computer through the use of an RS232C cable that connects to the infra-red port on the logger (Figure 3) to the Psion HC-120™ hand-held computer in the manner shown in Figure 4.
Because data from the tests were gathered at one-minute sampling intervals, the pressure graphs show transients or "spikes" in the data (Appendix D and E).
Therefore, the measured pressure data from the tests, shown in Appendix D for the March 1998 test and in Appendix E for the August 1998 test, were averaged over one-hour time periods for use with model calibration.

Generally concerned with the national ID effort, they knew that this could be the test case that decided once and for all whether ID was just warmed over creationism and that the Dover school board had left behind many clues to the religious intent behind their policy.
The TMLC, on the other hand, was gung ho to defend the Dover policy itself, possibly due to their encouragement of the board’s efforts over the preceding years, and not merely the scientific nature of ID or the overall ID public relations movement.
The fact witnesses would include former members of the Dover school board, local residents who attended the board meetings where the ID policy was discussed and ratified, and teachers who participated in the behind-the-scenes discussions with the administration and the school board.
