Business incubator
Business incubators are programs designed to support the successful development of entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services, developed and orchestrated by incubator management and offered both in the incubator and through its network of contacts. Incubators vary in the way they deliver their services, in their organizational structure, and in the types of clients they serve. Successful completion of a business incubation program increases the likelihood that a startup company will stay in business for the long term: older studies found 87% of incubator graduates stayed in business,[1] in contrast to 44% of all firms.[2]
Incubators differ from research and technology parks in their dedication to startup and early-stage companies. Research and technology parks, on the other hand, tend to be large-scale projects that house everything from corporate, government or university labs to very small companies. Most research and technology parks do not offer business assistance services, which are the hallmark of a business incubation program. However, many research and technology parks house incubation programs.
Incubators also differ from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Small Business Development Centers (and similar business support programs) in that they serve only selected clients. SBDCs are required by law to offer general business assistance to any company that contacts them for help. In addition, SBDCs work with any small business at any stage of development, not only startup companies. Many business incubation programs partner with their local SBDC to create a "one-stop shop" for entrepreneurial support.
In 2005 alone, North American incubation programs assisted more than 27,000 companies that provided employment for more than 100,000 workers and generated annual revenues of $17 billion.[3]
The incubation process[edit]
Most common incubator services:[4]
- Help with business basics
- Networking activities
- Marketing assistance
- High-speed Internet access
- Help with accounting/financial management
- Access to bank loans, loan funds and guarantee programs
- Help with presentation skills
- Links to higher education resources
- Links to strategic partners
- Access to angel investors or venture capital
- Comprehensive business training programs
- Advisory boards and mentors
- Management team identification
- Help with business etiquette
- Technology commercialization assistance
- Help with regulatory compliance
- Intellectual property management
Unlike many business assistance programs, business incubators do not serve any and all companies. Entrepreneurs who wish to enter a business incubation program must apply for admission. Acceptance criteria vary from program to program, but in general only those with feasible business ideas and a workable business plan are admitted. It is this factor that makes it difficult to compare the success rates of incubated companies against general business survival statistics.[5]
Although most incubators offer their clients office space and shared administrative services, the heart of a true business incubation program is the services it provides to startup companies.
More than half of incubation programs surveyed by the National Business Incubation Association in 2006 reported that they also served affiliate or virtual clients.[6] These companies do not reside in the incubator facility. Affiliate clients may be home-based businesses or early-stage companies that have their own premises but can benefit from incubator services. Virtual clients may be too remote from an incubation facility to participate on site, and so receive counseling and other assistance electronically.
The amount of time a company spends in an incubation program can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the type of business and the entrepreneur's level of business expertise. Life science and other firms with long research and development cycles require more time in an incubation program than manufacturing or service companies that can immediately produce and bring a product or service to market. On average, incubator clients spend 33 months in a program.[6] Many incubation programs set graduation requirements by development benchmarks, such as company revenues or staffing levels, rather than time in the program.

More than half of all business incubation programs are "mixed-use" projects; that is, they work with clients from a variety of industries. Technology incubators account for 39% of incubation programs.[6]
Business incubation has been identified as a means of meeting a variety of economic and socioeconomic policy needs, which may include
• Creating jobs and wealth
• Fostering a community's entrepreneurial climate
• Technology commercialization
• Diversifying local economies
• Building or accelerating growth of local industry clusters
• Business creation and retention
• Encouraging women or minority entrepreneurship
• Identifying potential spin-in or spin-out business opportunities
• Community revitalization[7]
About one-third of business incubation programs are sponsored by economic development organizations. Government entities (such as cities or counties) account for 21% of program sponsors. Another 20% are sponsored by academic institutions, including two- and four-year colleges, universities, and technical colleges.[6]
In many countries, incubation programs are funded by regional or national governments as part of an overall economic development strategy. In the United States, however, most incubation programs are independent, community-based and resourced projects. The U.S. Economic Development Administration is a frequent source of funds for developing incubation programs, but once a program is open and operational it typically receives no federal funding; few states offer centralized incubator funding. Rents and/or client fees account for 59% of incubator revenues, followed by service contracts or grants (18%) and cash operating subsidies (15%).[6]
As part of a major effort to address the ongoing economic crisis of the US, legislation was introduced to "reconstitute Project Socrates". The updated version of Socrates supports incubators by enabling users with technology-based facts about the marketplace, competitor maneuvers, potential partners, and technology paths to achieve competitive advantage. Michael Sekora, the original creator and director of Socrates says that a key purpose of Socrates is to assist government economic planners in addressing the economic and socioeconomic issues (see above) with unprecedented speed, efficiency and agility.[8]
Many for-profit or "private" incubation programs were launched in the late 1990s by investors and other for-profit seeking to hatch businesses quickly and bring in big payoffs. At the time, NBIA estimated that nearly 30% of all incubation programs were for-profit ventures. In the wake of the dot-com bust, however, many of those programs closed. In NBIA's 2002 State of the Business Incubation survey, only 16% of responding incubators were for-profit programs. By the 2006 SOI, just 6% of respondents were for-profit.[6]
Although some incubation programs (regardless of nonprofit or for-profit status) take equity in client companies, most do not. Only 25% of incubation programs report that they take equity in some or all of their clients.[6]
The formal concept of business incubation began in the USA in 1959 when Joseph Mancuso opened the Batavia Industrial Center in a Batavia, New York, warehouse.[9] Incubation expanded in the U.S. in the 1980s and spread to the UK and Europe through various related forms (e.g. innovation centres, pépinières d'entreprises, technopoles/science parks).
The U.S.-based National Business Incubation Association estimates that there are about 7,000 incubators worldwide. As of October 2006, there were more than 1,400 incubators in North America, up from only 12 in 1980. Her Majesty's Treasury identified around 25 incubation environments in the UK in 1997; by 2005, UKBI identified around 270 incubation environments across the country. A study funded by the European Commission in 2002 identified around 900 incubation environments in Western Europe.[10]
Incubation activity has not been limited to developed countries; incubation environments are now being implemented in developing countries and raising interest for financial support from organisations such as UNIDO and the World Bank.
On November 3, 2010, New York City broke ground on its sixth business incubator and the first in the Bronx called the Sunshine Bronx Business Incubator[11] which is a joint venture between the New York City Economic Development Corporation and Sunshine Suites. Manufacture New York is a Manhattan-based fashion incubator and small-run production facility.[12]
Incubators are going through a renaissance as of 2011. New experiments like Virtual Business Incubators are bringing the resources of entrepreneurship hubs like Silicon Valley to remote locations all over the world.
Incubator networks[edit]
For many years now, incubators aggregated themselves into networks. These networks are used to share good practises and can spread new methodologies. Europe has the well established European Business Centre (EBN) association that federate more than 250 eBICs all over the Europe. EBN is animate its network for 25 years now.[clarification needed] France has its national network of technopoles, pre-incubators, and eBICs: RETIS-INNOVATION. This network mutualize resources to internationalize startups. Spain has a national network too: ANCES that regroup more than 30 eBICs.
The Startup Federation is an international incubator network created in September 2013 including incubators such as Washington, D.C.'s 1776, New York City's General Assembly, Boston's Cambridge Innovation Center, London's Warner Yard, Berlin's Betahaus, Chicago's 1871, and others.[13] The network allows members of each incubator to collaborate with other incubators and their members within the Federation to share space, talent, ideas, etc.
Of 1000 incubators across Europe, 500 are situated in Germany, successfully supporting entrepreneurship and the regional industries. Some of them are organized federally within the ADT (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Innovations-, Technologie-, und Gründerzentren e.V.).[14]

I think Colin did an incredible job for a player in his position! You can't fault a guy in his situation and ony 25 years old. Harbaugh has had what, 2 years playoff experience and his brother has 8? Make no mistake: the Niners should NOT have been the favorites. As a Niner fan I can say in all objectivity that the Niners (given their current personnel) should be back in the playoffs again next season. Lets see what Colin does in the off season. Flacco... will he get better? Maybe... become a mobile QB? No. Can Colin be a better pocket passer... Yes! Lewis is gone... so goes the heart of the Ravens. You don't just replace Lewis. I believe the Niners will be back... Do it Colin!

Last night during Super Bowl 47, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick looked young and showed his first signs of being a little rattled during a game.
Kaepernick still had an awesome game with 302 yards passing and 62 rushing yards. After the game in a move that displays class, maturity, and leadership, Kaepernick put it all on him, and told CSNBay Area that he made to many mistakes for his team to win.
"I feel like I made too many mistakes for us to win," Kaepernick said.
"Things weren't working in the first half," Kaepernick said. "We just didn't finish our drives. We turned the ball over a couple times. That was the difference in the game."
"We stopped ourselves," Kaepernick said.
Colin Kaepernick is only 25 years old, and even with a Super Bowl run has still only started 11 total ball games, He will be fine and one of the more dynamic playmaking quarterbacks in the NFL for years to come.

A lot of poise and class for a 2nd year man.
I'm not saying CK doesn't have class; I think he does; but it's not class to take full responsibility for a TEAM losing a game. That's just youthful inexperience talking. You win as a TEAM and you lose as a TEAM. Had the 49ers won, would he have taken full credit for it? He can apologize for his mistakes, but he wasn't the only one making them. For example, he had nothing to do with Torrey Smith being able to catch a badly underthrown pass, fallng down backwards, then being able to get up and still scamper into the end zone.
All week long he was telling the media not to focus on him, that it was all about the team and not him. Now he wants to say it was all him? It's an admirable attitude, but it's wrong. -
Get your facts Mokoda it was Jacoby Jones that did the scampering. CK should have showed a little more poise on the last series, he was probably thinking which tat to kiss when if he got his team into the endzone.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son is in Pre-K. The teachers are wonderful, Ms. Sarah and Ms. Soto genuinely care for the students and go the extra mile to help them learn and grow. The director on the other hand seems lost in a fog. Her communication skills are poor both in relation to addressing parental concerns and in providing general information of coming events and parental involvement opportunities. When a concern is presented to her she becomes defensive and seems to resent being asked to discuss the situation. The facility itself is newer and seems to work well for the children.
We have been at the St. Vincent's for three years and have found the lower grade teachers & aides - passionate about teaching, caring and supportive. Our child has excelled and is eager to learn. The family involvement is wonderful - in sports, fundraisers, & social activities. Highly recommend.
St. Vincent's has incredible state of the art Promethean whiteboards. The interactive learning is incredibly successful. My children are so excited to learn! The school has a warm, friendly environment and wonderful after school enrichment program options too for working parents. All of last year's 8th graders were accepted into their first choice high school. The teachers are definitely preparing the students to get into great high schools like Cathedral and Francis Parker.
The academic program is archaic -- some currently used worksheets still bear dates from the 1970's. The teachers have lost their zeal and inspiration, and harshly deride the children too often. The fabulous new facility is underutilized, technology is inadequate, and it is very hard to get but a handful of parents to get involved to support the school -- and it's the same ones every time. The leadership seems to coddle the inactivity and ineffectiveness of the teachers, especially in the middle and upper grades, and encourages a "teach to the lower-middle" philosophy. School is going downhill and an overhaul will be required for it to survive as an alternative to the vibrant public and private schools in the area.
This is an immature preschool program - only 3 years old with issues with the quality of Pre K2 staff. While the teachers may have enough education/experience to teach a preschool class, they do not have the maturity or communication experience necessary to effectively interact with parents. They resort to writing notes when there are issues instead of communicating directly with parents. If a parent questions the way a situation is handled, they view it as being disrespectful and unsupportive of the teachers. What they don't realize is that respect is a two way street and if they expect to receive it, they need to be respectful and open to hearing other points of view. Again, this is a sign of immaturity and being unwilling to take steps necessary to make changes that will improve the quality and effectiveness of their program. Ms. Michelle especially has a negative attitude which shows in the tone of her voice when interacting with the children as well as with parents which is totally unacceptable. Our child did not feel supported or accepted by the teachers which ultimately caused us to remove him from the school.
My daughter was in the 3 year old class at St Vincent Preschool. What a gem. Ms. Katrina and Ms. Christina are "3 year old whisperers." They were always there, and key to set the kids up in their routine. My daughter had a fantastic year. Definitely my best preschool experience (and I went through a couple with my older son). I love how they work on both the gross motor, fine motor, language but also work a lot on moral education. The snacks are appropriate portions and healthy, and the entire school is very health conscientious and "green." We are not catholic, but felt welcomed right away and the moral education appropriate for everyone. The facilites are beautiful and designed for their age, and separated from the larger school. We became very close with her teachers, the director, and the other parents. Its a great little school and my best school experience as a parent (I am also a pediatrician).
Our daughter goes to St Vincent Preshcool and we are happy with the program. The director had to work through some staffing issues but now they have some incredible teachers with Ms Michelle and Ms Sarah. We plan to send our younger daughter to St Vincent when she turns two in March. The preschool is brand new and the K-8 school just installed promethius boards in every classroom. The average student teacher ratio is 18-1 so we are happy with the education so far.
Our school has a family atmosphere Throughout all of the crisis' a family may experience, the other families of St. Vincent De Paul are there to support your family.
Our child has really benefited from his time at St. Vincent's. Classmates are smart and polite. Teachers and Staff are experienced and dedicated. Parents and Alumni are involved and support the school.
We are extremely happy and blessed to have our son at St. Vincent's! It is an extraordinary education that is afforadable. The faculty is superb, as is the ciriculum. We look forward to our other children being students at St. Vincents, as well.
This is not a very school. Segregated physical education classes are not a good idea, in my opinion. My son and daughter complain to me all the time.
I am an alumna. While I agree that some programs, especially Literature and Science, prepared me for high school the Spanish and Math programs were abysmal. In addition, for kids who test into or have honors programs available in local public schools (like Seminar and International Baccalaureate) I suggest they go that route. Based on purely anecdotal evidence, I have seen that those in honors programs at public schools go to far better colleges than than 98% of private school kids.
This is an excellent school that has great teachers and leadership. The sports have an important role and music is starting to become a reality as well. The parents are very involved with fundraisers among other events they put together for the school. They are very interested in how well their child is doing in the class.
St. Vincent's has a very good academic and sports program. The academics are more difficult than at other schools, and there ias a lot of homework, but the children usually get in to good high schools such as OLP, Saints, the Bishops school, etc. St. Vincent's is not as parent friendly as it could be, but the overall atmosphere is very welcoming.

Beaufort County investigators are searching for two suspects who robbed a man outside a home in Seabrook. Deputies with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office responded to a home on Delaney Circle Tuesday night for a report of an armed robbery.The 46-year-old victim said he was robbed at 9 p.m. after dropping a friend off. According to the sheriff's office, the victim was sitting in his car in the driveway of his friend's house, when he was approached by two men. The suspects, one of whom was armed with a gun, demanded the victim empty his pockets. After handing over his wallet, the victim was told to get out of the car and lie on the ground. The suspects then ran towards a nearby wooded area. Authorities say the victim then drove to a family member's home and called police. If you have any information you are asked to call Investigator SSgt. J. Fraser at (843) 255-3416 or the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at (843) 524-2777.

If you don't know what OMG WTF stands for, step out of your cave into the sunlight and ask a teenager. After that, take a look at this Panhead-powered, VL-framed chopper from Morrow Vintage Customs in Ventura, California. Kurt Morrow built it for Mike Greco who uses it as a daily rider, of all things. You'll see right away why we used modern text-speak to describe an old chopper.
This bike is completely hand-built. It's a complete custom bike, not a customized bike. No two parts on the bike were ever together before this. Mike rides this motorcycle 80 miles round-trip in the San Francisco/Half Moon Bay area. Lots of torque and a very narrow setup make it great for traffic, plus the high ground clearance helps for the mountain roads.
Mr. Morrow let us pick his brain about this bike. He was very happy to talk about it and the work he does in his shop.
**What inspired this style for you? **
I got the frame first, it sat around, and I looked at it for years. I've wanted to do a VL with a Big Twin, keeping the floorboards and a reasonable seating position. All the VL customs I've seen have had crossed up controls. This just started out as a super-light little bike. I wanted it to be lighter and quicker but not real choppery. I like the rake of a VL frame, I had never ridden one (a custom one) and all the restored VLs I had ridden were a little too heavy to really do anything for me. Every part of this bike came from somewhere else; it is from my imagination.
I live and work in my shop. Years ago I got hooked on old bikes. Now I do ground-ups and vintage bikes.
What did you have to do to fit the Norton rear fender to the frame?
I cut and sectioned it to fit over the tire and welded it up to the frame. The brackets were done by hand.
**What did you have to do to fit the Ducati 250 gas tank to the frame? **
I put my own tunnel in, and put the tank mounts in it, created a new petcock location. Basically, I started with the shell and filled the tank up to fit the frame. I spent two weeks making a curved tunnel to fit the frame and no one's ever seen it. [Laughs]
**What did you have to do to fit the Benelli gas tank to the frame as the oil bag for the bike? **
I widened it 1-1/2 inches, added new mounts and oil line fittings, then made brackets from scratch and welded them to the tank. A lot of this sort of work is a matter of seeing the piece, then you make a bracket to fit. It's the same with the battery situation.
**Why did you use a Ducati 250 tank and the Benelli scooter tank with the bike instead of Harley units? **
I didn't do it to save weight. I just liked the appearance. This was something I hadn't seen before. The filler cap on the Ducati tank is bitchin'. It wasn't a Paughco or a Sportster tank like so many people use. It was up to me to make them fit. That's the sort of work I enjoy doing.
Tell us more about the wheels. Why did you build them in-house instead of going aftermarket? What did you make them from?
I don't really buy anything aftermarket. I like to make wheels and this way I'm sure they're straight. I'm real concerned about making it all fit together right since no one's going to be able to just fix the stuff on this bike. None of the parts were originally meant to go together.
**Why the Nissin caliper? **
It was from a CBR 900. That was the caliper used to stop the fastest production bike going at the time it was made. Those calipers are so plentiful and well built but really ugly too. I carved on it to take the hard edges off.
**Why did you use the 1935 frame with the 1950 Panhead? What did you have to do to make them work together? **
There's a cross tube from the neck to the seat post that had to be removed and arched to fit. The rear footboard mounts are in the way of the Panhead engine cases so I had to make a hole for the motor to fit and shim the motor mounts too.
How did you get started building motorcycles?
I started out late in life in my 40s, 11 years ago. I live and work in my shop. Years ago I got hooked on old bikes. Now I do ground-ups and vintage bikes. No new stuff. No one's noticing me because I'm inching along. I started before the big chopper craze and it passed me up because I don't care for that newer style of bike. I do early Triumphs, Nortons, BSAs. I do everything but the plating and I do a little painting. It's a good business.
What was the biggest challenge with this project?
Making all those different parts look like they belong together, then making them work together and haul ass.
According to Kurt, riding this Panhead is also therapeutic for Mike Greco. That's not something we hear associated with an old chop too often. Usually it's something along the lines of "cool" or "fun." As therapy goes, though, it doesn't have Prozac's side effects and it's a damn sight better looking than Dr. Phil. HB

Memphis recruit Will Barton can score from anywhere on the court, but unfortunately for the 6-foot-6 swingman, it seems that the top-ranked shooting guard in his class won't be eligible to play for the Tigers this upcoming season.
Goes to show you exactly how fluid the recruiting situation is, I guess. Either that or ESPN is really gullible. Or the Bartons are bald-faced liars. All three work.
The Barton Brothers choose Memphis over Maryland, Syracuse and others.

GAYLORD - An alliance of citizens and groups working to enhance the Minnesota River, received recognition from counties in the river basin. At its quarterly meeting July 15 in Gaylord, the Minnesota River Board presented its annual "Confluence Award" to the Minnesota River Watershed Alliance, recognizing its work on a national project to promote the river.
The Minnesota River Watershed Alliance (MRWA) is a basin-wide network of individuals from private organizations and public agencies, and citizens who meet quarterly and work on projects that support and benefit the Minnesota River basin.
Earlier this year the Alliance submitted a nomination of the Minnesota River to the U.S. Dept. of the Interior's (DOI) national Blueway program. In 2012 the DOI established the National Blueway System to promote a network of nationally significant rivers and their watersheds that are highly valued as economic, recreational, social, and ecological assets.
Under local leadership and control, Blueway designation gives national prominence to a river basin in terms of financial and technical support from federal agencies, and positive public recognition. More than 50 public and private organizations support the MRWA's nomination of the Minnesota River for designation as a National Blueway.
"The River Board's award is especially significant, because it demonstrates the depth of local support for this nomination," says Patrick Moore of Montevideo, who has served among the informal leaders of the Watershed Alliance since it began in 2005.
In addition, the River Board presented Moore with the "Tributary Award" to recognize his "leadership and actions to help improve the larger basin's water quality."
"Local groups such as the Watershed Alliance and individuals such as Patrick Moore are key contributors to our efforts to improve and protect our natural resources in the Minnesota River basin," says John Schueller, River Board chair and Redwood County commissioner.
The Minnesota River Board is a joint powers agreement among counties in the Minnesota River Basin, organized to "provide leadership, build partnerships and support efforts to improve and protect water quality in the Minnesota River Basin."
More information on the Blueway project is located on the web at: www.minnesotariverblueway.com.

I`m trying to make a Skype-like website but im trying to make it with the fastest speed and with the best sound quality possible. Its going to be mainly calls only so it"s mostly focus on high sound quality. About the speed, I"m talking about less than 60ms (milliseconds) delay between computers and the finest quality sound possible. For example, let"s say I"m having a videocall and i say "Hi", i want that the "Hi" I said gets to the other person in LESS THAN 60 MS (and viceversa, of course) and giving the best quality possible.So what im trying to figure out which are the best options to create the website, peer to peer connections or a common server connection? A local server on the city? encoded sound? biggest server? Renting a service? Also, I"m trying to gather a team that can help me making the website, to be honest i just have the budget not the knowledge to make it, so, what experts would be the best to make the website? like should i hire a sound engineer? a web developer? and Voip expert? who should I hire in order to create the website?Also, i"d like to point out that I count with a good budget so if there"s anything that might be expensive it"d be still worth it!THANKS IN ADVANCE, ALL INFORMATION REGARDING WILL BE APPRECIATED!

Safety committee in tune with national standards
By Ellen Fussell
Continuing its effort to harmonize U.S. standards with the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC's) 60079 series, ISA's SP12 committee spent a good chunk of time at its winter meeting focusing on shock and fire hazard protection. The committee, Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Locations, is defining deviations between U.S. installation codes and those requirements listed in the comparable IEC 60079 series of standards.
"The IEC 60079 series standards do not include requirements for shock and fire hazard protection; the focus is entirely on explosion hazards," said SP12 committee chairman Ted Schnaare. "In the U.S., our standards require all electrical equipment to meet requirements for shock and fire hazards."
Harmonizing U.S. standards with IEC's 60079 series has been a continuous goal for the committee—influencing the IEC standards as much as possible to prepare them for use in the U.S. "We're dealing with a number of standards in the series: general requirements, flameproof equipment [types d, e, m, and others]," Schnaare said.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is continuing to work with the committee to harmonize its 2279 standard with ISA's SP12 series of standards. UL 2279 is also a U.S. national standard for hazardous locations, based on the IEC 60079 series. Schnaare said that because both are U.S. national standards on the same topic, "we're working on aligning these two standards so we'll have a single U.S. version of the IEC standard. He added the two are very close to meeting their goal, with a "few minor issues outstanding."
Schnaare said a compelling reason for harmonizing the two is to allow the U.S. to participate in the IEC Ex Scheme (see related story below). One of the first requirements, he said, is to identify the U.S. version of the applicable standard and its differences from the base IEC standard.
This task will fall under a UL/ISA correlating committee (formed in October with five UL members and five ISA members). Once the members reach harmonization, this group will keep them in sync if revisions should occur.
"Even though there are two separate organizations promulgating changes, any changes UL suggests will be shared with the SP12 committee through the correlating committee, and vice versa. So in the end, the standards are allowed to change, but they change in lockstep," Schnaare said.
The individual ISA and UL standards development and maintenance processes will go on as they do today based on ANSI requirements. But the communications process through the correlating committee will allow the standards to stay harmonized, Schnaare said.
Another important topic discussed was portable electronic products in hazardous locations (ISA Draft RP12.12.03, Portable Electronic Products Suitable for Use in Class I and II, Division 2, Class I, Zone 2, and Class III, Division 1 and 2, Hazardous (Classified) Locations). "That's the whole debate about using a cell phone, watch, or insulin pump in Division 2 or Zone 2 classified areas," Schnaare said. "We had a pretty big turnout of people interested in the progress of that document." (See related Safety article in March 2002 InTech).
New projects included discussion on national pipe taper (NPT) threads—the type of threads typically used for explosionproof installations in the U.S. and elsewhere.
"There's a need out there to harmonize the way we view NPT threads in the U.S. and the way they're used in the rest of the world, specifically in the CENELEC standards and the IEC standards," Schnaare said. "The main issue is that if you use just the standard specification for the threads, you don't get the required minimum engagement that you need for explosionproof protection. So we've been working on harmonizing those requirements."
The committee plans to have proposals to improve existing NPT standards by its next meeting in October.
ITIEC Ex Scheme
The IEC Ex Scheme is a plan to facilitate international trade in electrical equipment for use in explosive atmospheres. The ultimate goal is to give participating countries' manufacturers the means to get certificates of conformity confirming that their equipment passes IEC standards and is accepted at a national level. It will also eliminate the need for countries to obtain multiple national certification of equipment for each country in which they want to see their equipment. With an Ex Scheme certification, manufacturers will affix the IEC Ex Mark of Conformity to equipment that complies with the national standard.

[JURIST] Both Iraqi and UN officials said Sunday that they were unsure when a final draft of the Iraqi constitution [English translation; JURIST news archive] would be printed as last-minute negotiations over revisions dragged on. With only 5 weeks remaining before the October 15 referendum [JURIST report] on the draft and five million copies of the document still to be distributed, a UN official in charge of the printing said it was unclear when the constitutional drafting committee [official website] would finish its talks and said the UN wants the draft as soon as possible. Saad Qandeel, a Shiite negotiator, said that negotiations on several points would continue for several days yet and that "If we fail to reach an agreement by the end of the week then they will print the present version of the draft unchanged." The issues being negotiated include the wording of a section expressing the Arab identity of Iraq, control of water resources, and Kurdish demands to be guaranteed deputy prime minister posts. Qandeel said that the National Assembly did not discuss the draft in its Sunday session, as had been expected [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Guards at a New Orleans jail fled their posts after Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive] struck, leaving prisoners behind in appalling conditions, according to Australian tourist interviewed [text] for the Sydney Sunday Telegraph. Ashley Macdonald was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and was thrown in jail just before the hurricane hit New Orleans. He described a chaotic situation lasting for four days where inmates were able to obtain or make weapons and two inmates locked in underground cells drowned. According to Macdonald, authorities only came to the rescue of the prisoners who were without food, water, toilets or power after inmates began escaping from the jail once the roof had been ripped off. The Orleans Parish Prison and other local jails were evacuated in the aftermath of the storm, and a temporary detention facility has been set up [JURIST report] at the city's Greyhound bus station. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Last-minute talks continued Sunday at the UN as an intergovernmental negotiating group [JURIST report] struggled to finalize a text to be submitted to the UN's 2005 World Summit [official website], scheduled to begin Wednesday. The group is working to prepare a platform of agreed UN reforms [UN materials], but UN diplomats have said that proposed amendments by the US [JURIST report; US mission to the UN materials] advanced several weeks ago have opened the door to other late requests from Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Cuba and India. The world's heads of state are due to consider several key UN reforms at next week's summit, including expansion of the Security Council and reworking the UN structure to better address human rights and terrorism. Competing proposals on Security Council expansion [AFP report] have been circulated with no clear indication of which will be endorsed at the summit. Brazil, Germany, India and Japan have proposed [JURIST report] that the 15-member Security Council be expanded to include 25 countries; this would add six permanent seats, who would not have veto power, and four non-permanent seats. The African Union is pushing a different proposal [JURIST report] - one that would add two permanent seats with veto rights and five non-permanent seats. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said that a deal on the Security Council will not be reached before next week's summit, but that he hopes there will be an agreement by the end of the year. Sunday's Boston Globe has more.
[JURIST] The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights (EOHR) [advocacy website] issued a joint report with 21 other rights groups Saturday on last week's Egyptian presidential elections [JURIST news archive], concluding that although up to 15 percent of the votes cast may be questionable, there was lass fraud in Egypt's first ever contested elections than in past ballots. Monitors reported widespread fraud and violations [JURIST report] during Wednesday's election and a losing candidate has alleged fraud in the vote count, but EOHR said that the amount of fraud would not be enough to over turn the victory of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak [official profile; Wikipedia profile]. One of the main problems during Wednesday's vote was that groups of voters were bused to polling stations and were allowed to cast ballots without showing registration. The EOHR also reported low voter turnout, saying that actual turnout was likely less than the official figure of 23 percent. AP has more.
[JURIST] California Army National Guard Sgt. David Fimon has been sentenced to a year in military confinement and received a bad-conduct discharge after pleading guilty to abusing detainees in Iraq. Fimon pleaded guilty to maltreatment of detainees, conspiracy to commit maltreatment of detainees, dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice. Fimon's case is part of a larger investigation into reports of abuse by 12 soldiers [JURIST report] from the Fullerton-based Alpha Company. Specific allegations have not been disclosed, but a military source has said that there have been allegations that soldiers used an electric stun gun to abuse detainees who were handcuffed and blindfolded. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Israeli Cabinet voted Sunday to leave Gaza, the last formality in Israeli withdrawal [IDF materials] from the region before handing over control to the Palestinian Authority (PA) [official website]. However, the Cabinet also voted against demolishing 20 synagogues [Haaretz report] still standing in the Gaza Strip [Wikipedia backgrounder], a move which PA officials say could delay IDF withdrawal [Haaretz report]. An Israeli High Court ruling Thursday had authorized the destruction of Gaza synagogues that could not be dismantled [JURIST report], but Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon postponed the implementation of that ruling Thursday night pending today's Cabinet session. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Force officials said that Sunday's handover ceremony had been canceled, citing PA refusal to attend [IPC release]. Even after the pullout of Israeli forces from Gaza, the area's legal status as occupied territory remains unclear [Reuters report]. Israel has said that there will be an end to military rule in Gaza, but Palestinians say that the occupation will not completely end until Israel gives up control of the area's air space, sea lanes and border crossings. There has long been debate over whether the Gaza strip is an occupied territory - defined by Article 42 of the 1907 Hague Regulations [text] as territory "actually placed under the authority of the hostile army." Israel has maintained that the region has been held "in dispute" and has not been under occupation and has also argued that the Fourth Geneva Convention [text], which outlines an occupier's responsibilities to citizens of that territory, does not govern because the Geneva Convention is an agreement between states and the PA is not a recognized state. AP has more.4:34 PM ET - The BBC is reporting that Palestinians will demolish the synagogues in Gaza after the Israeli army withdraws, according to a Palestinian interior ministry spokesman.

Please help with the design of this roof
I am framing and pretty much building my own addition, but I need some help designing the addition roof and how it will tie into the existing roof.
The main problem is that the old house was balloon framed, and the 2nd floor walls are only about 5 foot high. They brought the rafters down to the top of this wall, and each room has an angled ceiling until it reaches the 9 ft level, then goes flat. As such, the pitch of the existing roof is pretty steep. I decided that I don't think I want to build the 2nd floor walls to match the existing walls. Rather, I'll build 9 foot walls on the 2nd floor, and then build my trusses / rafters on top of that. I am thinking of doing a basic gable roof that will tie into the existing roof at a 90 degree angle. The dimension of the addition are 24' long, but 32' wide. The trusses will be 32' wide. Should I just make the top point of the trusses higher than the existing roof, and tie the roof into that? Would the different pitches look bad? I"m thinking that the existing roof is an 6-12 to 8-12 pitch roof. Should I match that pitch, or just make the roof a 5-12 pitch roof and be done with it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I'm kinda stuck thinking about this. Also, if anyone has some easy to read articles about making the rafters using a speed square, that would be appreciated as well pics are here to give you and idea. type in http://photos.yahoo.com/jaymay75" - Roof Folder will give you the best shots. I can add more pics if needed. Thanks again for any help. |

HAVERHILL — Of 32 small and growing businesses that have set up shop in The Burgess Professional Center since 2011, The Black Tank is the newest and one of the hippest.
Black and purple lights usher visitors through a ground-floor entrance to the company's 4,200-square-foot show room and research and development area. The entryway was custom built by the owners of the eight-story building at 43 Essex St., within easy walking distance of the downtown train station.
"They built what I needed, an unconventional space," said Michael Johnson, owner of the engineering design company that specializes in making LED lighting for entertainment, theatrical and architectural markets.
"We love being close to the train station because it lets me recruit workers from Boston," Johnson said, adding that he moved his company to Haverhill four months ago after outgrowing his previous space in Amesbury.
Before that, like many tenants in the building, Johnson ran his fledgling business out of his home. He lives in Groveland.
The Black Tank is one of more than 40 small companies in the building, most of which moved in after building owner William Nofker and property manager Lisa Fitzpatrick began marketing the site as a "small business incubator" two years ago.
Nofsker moved his manufacturing company from Cambridge to downtown Haverhill in 1982, buying the Burgess Building at 143 Essex St. and the neighboring Lang Building, which he sold in 2006.
Two years ago, Fitzpatrick said they decided to upgrade the Burgess Building and start marketing it to a mix of tenants, specializing in small and new businesses. That includes light manufacturing, professional offices, research and development, and distribution and storage.
"With the downturn in the economy and specifically the downturn in manufacturing, we decided to try something different," Fitzpatrick said. "The idea is to be 'turnkey' for our tenants or we can customize to need."
City Councilor John Michitson worked with Nofsker and Fitzgerald to get the business incubator idea going. He began talking about the concept in the lead-up to his unsuccessful mayoral candidacy three years ago.
"This is proof of concept for our innovation-based economic development strategy," Michitson said of the Burgess Professional Center's growing list of tenants. "In the two years since Lisa started innovation-based marketing, she has attracted 32 small business start-ups occupying over 30,000 square feet. This is amazing when you consider that Massachusetts unemployment has actually risen over this time."
Michitson said businesses in the building are having a ripple effect on the downtown's restaurants and other retail businesses. Eventually, he hopes to see some of the start-ups move from the incubator site to Haverhill's industrial parks, where larger businesses thrive.
Typical one-room offices in the Essex Street building start at $250 a month, including utility costs, Fitzgerald said. Also included in the lease is access to several common amenities, such as small and large conference rooms, storage areas, kitchens and even a lounge with a pool table.
"We provide premium common amenities without the premium cost," Fitzpatrick said. "And we give entrepreneurs with small business owners the ability to get out of their homes and to be around other small business owners in similar situations with similar challenges."
That possibility was particularly appealing to Cecilia Buckles, who runs her Advertising That Works business out of one of the building's smallest spaces — a 150-square-foot office that came partially furnished.
"I used to run my business out of my home, but now I have a professional space to meet people," said Buckles, who's been in the building for two years. "I love the camaraderie among the tenants and the shared spaces."
Eric LaFleur and Jonathan Baron run NorthEast Computer Services on the building's seventh floor. The company provides information technology and computer management services to customers in the building and in cities throughout the state and country.
"It's a convenient location, being close to Boston, and an indestructible building," said Baron, noting the reinforced concrete building, built in 1912, once was a bomb shelter. "There's space here for us to grow as we need it, and potential customers are moving in all the time. We're like an in-house IT department or help desk for tenants in the building."
That company also works with Dave Spaulding's USAi.net business on the sixth floor.
"Haverhill works for us because it's close enough to Boston without paying Boston rates," said Spaulding, adding that his company's "disaster recovery" clients include many large companies located in Boston skyscrapers.
Another technology company in the building is Exultium, an Internet security firm.
"The set up is very economical for me," owner John Huston said. "It's inspiring to have an owner who invested in something like this rather than converting his building to residential apartments like so many buildings around us."
There are also lawyers and nonprofit agencies such as Community Action and The Greater Haverhill Foundation in the building.
"Here I get luxury space at the cost of one small office," attorney Michael Cormier said. "And I enjoy the camaraderie."

Kiss My Face Moisture Shave® Cool Mint -- 11 fl oz
Good stuff!
Smells great and works well. Leaves skin feeling great!
May 4, 2013
Satisfied customer
I discovered Kiss my face products about 10 years ago and as long as they keep making these products I will be loyal customer.
I would never put anything else on my face to shave.
April 17, 2013
very fresh and invigorating
As a first time user of this product, I have used the original kiss my face shave cream which was great but the kiss my face with cool mint gives you that tingling feeling and invigorating feel when you rub it onto your face.
March 24, 2013
Great shave!
Very minty, gives a nice shave and the pump is easier to use in the shower versus a tube.
March 8, 2013
Great smell, great results
I would highly recommend this product. I have used Kiss My Face Shave in the past in the peach mango flavor and it has been discontinued, so I gave this one a try and totally love it! It smells great, it moisturizes well and my skin feels much smoother after shaving too!

Both Hodgkin's lymphoma (formerly known as Hodgkin's disease) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are lymphomas, a type of cancer that begins in a subset of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are an important part of your immune system. The main difference between Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is in the specific lymphocyte each involves.
A doctor can tell the difference between Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by examining the cancer cells under a microscope. If in examining the cells, the doctor detects the presence of a specific type of abnormal cell called a Reed-Sternberg cell, the lymphoma is classified as Hodgkin's. If the Reed-Sternberg cell is not present, the lymphoma is classified as non-Hodgkin's.
The distinction is important because the treatment and outcomes for each type can be very different.
