Evidence for a Rotational Component in the Circumgalactic Medium of Nearby Galaxies: We present results of a study comparing the relative velocity of $\rm Ly\alpha$ absorbers to the rotation velocity of nearby galaxy disks in the local universe ($z \leq 0.03$). We have obtained rotation curves via long-slit spectrosc...
