A cricket lurked in the halls of the West Jackson Primary School in Braselton, a fast suburbanizing rural town 50 miles north of Atlanta. Outside, a listless American flag hung under the fat orange sun of another steamy day. Highway 53 was choked with Jeeps and vans and pickups delivering 500 4-to-7-year-olds in new sneakers and backpacks.
With fast freeways to mountains and beaches, with lightning bugs and snakes, old barns and haunted houses, room to fly kites and some roads still safe enough for bare feet and bikes, Braselton is seductive turf for children of iconic American summers.
But their summer abruptly ended this week when all the Jackson County schools reopened. Ever-earlier openings across the country have brought complaints from some parents and from resorts that cater to traveling families, and a few state legislatures have acted to return August to the summer holiday.
But concern about the nation's literacy and more recently the carrot-and-stick provisions of the No Child Left Behind Education Act, which allows children to transfer from schools where test scores are low, have led school districts in many states to reorganize their calendars to help children improve their learning.
No one keeps up-to-date tabs on school district calendars. A survey by the Council of Chief State School Officers, mostly superintendents, found that in 2002, at least some schools in most states opened by late August. In many states, though few in the Northeast, some school districts open the first or second week of August.Continue reading the main story
The shift may be most pronounced in Georgia. After a decade of chipping away at summer with earlier openings, 19 of the state's 180 school districts started classes in the last two weeks of July this year and one on July 12, according to the Georgia Department of Education. By Monday, when Fulton County schools open in Atlanta, nearly all the public schools in Georgia will have resumed classes.
''Most people have come to accept that school starts the first of August, not the first of September,'' said Jocelyn Whitfield, director of government relations for the Georgia Association of Educators, which represents public education employees. ''But there are mixed feelings all across the state.''
The feelings of Zak Evans are unequivocal.
''It's bad,'' said Zak, one of Cindy Barhorst's 21 second graders. Mourning his shortened summer, Zak said: ''I played cards. I rode in a golf cart. I got sunburn in my eyes from the salt water.''
His chatty classmate Trace Wetherford recounted the summer's near and real perils. ''I saw 13 alligators,'' he said. ''I got stung by a jellyfish. I was on my sister's boogie board and a wave came up and hit me and something stung me and I saw the tentacles.''
He paused. ''And I saw two other alligators.''
West Jackson Primary occupies a 50-year-old one-story brick building that has a yard full of new playground equipment and a classroom air-conditioning system that has been renovated.
It is a boot camp for children from prekindergarten to second grade, run in cheerful manner by educators who are relentless in their mission to make little Americans put summer behind them and toe the line of regimented learning.
Along each side of the gray linoleum corridors runs a foot-wide blue stripe. Children walk along the stripe, single file, silently, keeping their hands to themselves, parading from the classroom to the cafeteria, the media room, the art room, the gym.
''Quiet signs and ducktails!'' a teacher commands her stream of kindergartners. They press an index finger to their lips and put the back of the other hand against their backs, fingers flapping.
In her classroom, Ms. Barhorst asked, ''What happens if you don't turn in your homework?''
''You miss recess,'' Leah Lloyd said from the back row.
''Very good,'' Ms. Barhorst said. ''You miss recess.''
''Last year we didn't have detention,'' she said. ''But this year we will.''
All fidgeting stopped.
Out in the hall, Denny Turner, the principal, gripped the yellow fly swatter that he used to silence a wasp in a first-grade classroom.
Mr. Turner said the county's new school calendar, with classes ending May 25, allows a two-week winter break and a one-week spring break. It also sets aside eight days when just those students who need help come in and two more weeks for help after May 25.
Though still running for the prescribed 180 days, the schedule also lets students in middle school and high school finish the fall semester and take exams before the winter break. That frees them from cramming during the holidays and can lead to the better test scores that the federal law requires of schools to avoid sanctions for substandard performance.
Not that that is an issue for West Jackson Primary. ''We have over 90 percent of our students meeting or exceeding in reading and math, constantly,'' Mr. Turner said. ''We're right up there with the top.''
Still, some amusement parks and resorts dispute the academic value of abbreviated summer schedules and say they are rough on business.
''It has cut our August in half,'' said Kyle Tibbs Jones, spokeswoman for the Sea Island Company, owner of the Cloisters, the resort hotel near Savannah where President Bush and fellow chiefs of state gathered in June.
Some states -- South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin -- have enacted laws that prohibit schools from opening before Labor Day or late August. In North Carolina, the legislature passed a measure this year pushing the starting date back to Aug. 25 and the closing date to no later than June 10. Gov. Michael F. Easley, a Democrat, has not yet decided whether to sign it.
While some parents bemoan the loss of the traditional summer, others are elated to have their charges in other hands.
''Is this another Williams?'' a teacher asked Sandra Williams, who was consoling her reluctant kindergartner.
''I've got four others in this school,'' Ms. Williams said, ''and one in middle school. Now I've got five of them out of the house. I can get on schedule and go to work. I'm ready for this summer to be over with.''Continue reading the main story

College-bound students will have the option to take the SATs next year in August, as the standardized test will be offered over the summer, NBC News reported.
The College Board shared the news earlier this month when it rolled out test dates for 2017. It also revealed the elimination of the January SAT test date as of 2018.
The move comes after the Assessments for The College Boards added a September exam date before college applications are due.

'Invisible wires' could improve solar-cell efficiency
November 30, 2015
Stanford scientists have discovered how to make the electrical wiring on top of solar cells nearly invisible to incoming light, using nanosize silicon pillars to hide the wires. The new design could dramatically boost solar-cell efficiency, the researchers suggest.
A solar cell is basically a semiconductor that converts sunlight into electricity, sandwiched between metal contacts that carry the electrical current generated by the cell. But with current… read more

Los Angeles, Oct 16 (IANS) Singer Jessie J has reportedly broken up with singer-songwriter beau Luke James because she feared he was only using her for fame.
"Jessie fell hard for Luke, but over the summer she started having doubts," a source told The Sun newspaper, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
James had stopped following Jessie on Twitter and in the early hours of Thursday morning, she posted a motivational message on the micro-blogging website.
"You got this girl. You are stronger than you think," she wrote.
Earlier this month, James had shared a cryptic message on the site which read: "Love is all you need, when it's real."
The duo's split comes as a surprise to many as just a few months ago the "Bang bang" crooner was talking about her desire to start a family.
Asked what else she would like to do with her life, she said: "Have a baby – not today! But that's something that I hope that I'm blessed with in my life."

Manresa is our 4-day new student orientation program. The name Manresa (Man-ree-sah) refers to the town in Spain where Saint Ignatius Loyola took time to reflect on his life – past, present and future. This parallels the reflection you will experience as a student beginning your collegiate career under Xavier's mission.
Small Groups
As a new student, you will experience Manresa with a small group of other new students. You will have two experienced upper-class student leaders to show you the ropes and guide you through your first few days as a Xavier Musketeer. You can learn about your small group via the Road to Xavier website and will receive information from your group leaders before you arrive to campus.
"Manresa is the perfect way for students to begin their college career. It eliminates the awkward getting-to-know-your-peers phase and gives everyone opportunities to make new friends. I felt extremely comfortable around my small group even after just a few hours. Not only were the activities (illusionist Craig Karges, Camp Kern, Black & White Dance) throughout the weekend fun, but they were informative and helped my classmates and I to transition into college life at Xavier. Manresa was an awesome experience and a great way to start my life at Xavier."

Action Alliance Meeting Assessment of Guiding Principles The following principles were created to guide the work of the Action Alliance: 1. As The Alliance conducts its work, it is essential that survivors, the interests of survivors, and those impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence are at the forefront of all decision-making. 2. Recognizing that local agencies have been the foundation of coalition work by connecting communities and survivors to statewide advocacy, we are committed to an Alliance in which Sexual Assault Crisis Centers and Domestic Violence Programs continue to be the driving force of The Alliance. 3. Recognizing the historical inequities between resources allocated to address sexual assault and domestic violence, we seek to create a change that includes an Alliance that equitably addresses the elimination of both sexual and domestic violence. 4. Recognizing that sexual and domestic violence affects all Virginians, we seek to create an Alliance where those who have been traditionally oppressed in society and/or marginalized in anti-violence work have the opportunity to be full and active participants in The Alliance. The Alliance recognizes that representation of traditionally oppressed groups is only a beginning. Intentional diversity also involves an analysis of oppression and a commitment to challenging and changing the disempowering influences of dominant culture. Everyone must share responsibility for ensuring that ALL voices are heard and valued. It is important that we regularly and systematically assess to what degree we are following these guidelines. The following survey will help us to do so. Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this survey. Providing contact information is completely voluntary! * 1.

POCO 1.3.3 Available
I am happy to announce that release 1.3.3 of the POCO C++ Libraries is finally available. More than any other release before, this release was a true community effort. Sergey Kholodilov contributed the MySQL connector for Data, and Ferdinand Beyer contributed the foundation of what now is the Crypto library. Chris Johnson helped bringing POCO to Cygwin and MinGW. Jiang Shan provided valuable input and bugfixes. Sergey Skorokhodov backported bugfixes from the trunk to the 1.3.3 release. And many others sent us bug reports or patches (see the Contributors page for a full list). Thank you! Last but not least I'd like to thank Alex "Mr. Data" Fabijanic, who was the driving force behind that release, and who also helped to bring POCO forward during periods when I was too much occupied by other projects.
So, what's new in 1.3.3?
Release 1.3.3 of the POCO C++ Libraries contains over 60 improvements and bug fixes. Improvements have been made to the multithreading classes (user-settable stack size), to events (simplified syntax based on new delegate function template), logging (time-based log file rotation), reactor framework, and others (see the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes). Support for MySQL has been added to the Data library. New Crypto and Zip libraries have been added. The build system has been revised, and the POCO C++ Libraries now work with GCC 4.3 and Visual Studio 2008.
And now let's work full steam on the 1.4 release!

The popular face of the wristwatch is constantly changing. Digital displays, which were once all the rage, fell out of favor long ago; oversized watches boomed and now seem to be over the hump; and gold has come and gone a few times over. But the greatest and perhaps most viable of today's trends might be the resurrection of the vintage watch trade -- new timepieces that pay homage to their roots and celebrate the ever-changing face of an industry from the 1950s through the 1990s.
This Week in Watches: July 15, 2014. The Bell & Ross WW1 Guynemer, news on Apple's iWatch, BENRUS lives again, and more.
Avant-garde watch design is best designed by what isn't, rather than what it is: Understand classics like dress, dive, and aviator watches and you'll know avant-garde when you see it. The problem with breaking the mold is that these watches often come with an equally unbelievable and impressive price tags, leaving mere mortals' bank accounts wanting. But more recently, a handful of watchmakers have taken a shot at inspired and unique design, without the insane price tags. These are our favorites that at least won't bankrupt you.
Most discussions about watches and their value begin and end with the movement: Swiss versus Japanese, in-house versus outsourced, finishing and complications. But in reality, the movement is only part of the story. All too often overlooked is the humble watch case, which can be equally artful, interesting, and difficult to produce.
The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional is such an icon -- it's nearly a perfect watch, really -- that it's hard to imagine that OMEGA could ever follow it up. Then last year the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon set the watch world abuzz. This video from Omega shows how it's crafted, in all its black ceramic glory.
This Week in Watches, we examine new offerings from Sinn, Grand Seiko, Magrette, Speake-Marin and the NYC-based strapmaker Suigeneric.
Today in gear we examine a wooden suit for the PS4, the perfect stout glass, Omega's latest astronaut watch, the global launch of Samsung's Galaxy S5, Bellroy's new slim wallet and a Hoover vacuum that ditches the cord for good.
Today in Gear we examine Ray-Ban's new customizable remix program, Nike Soccer's revised away kit for team U.S.A., the return of the Omega Seamaster 300, your new guide to alpine training and Bluelounge's key-sized charging accessory for Android.
It's easy to become numb to the incredible prices of fine watches. But being a watch enthusiast doesn't mean choosing between a good watch and a decent used car. By looking in the right places, you can avoid bland fashion watches in favor of well-made, unique timepieces that scratch the watch nerd itch while protecting your post-college pledge to never subsist on ramen noodles again. Here are a few examples of what can be found for less than $1,000.
A space watch is more than just branding. Torture tested to excel in the most inhospitable of environments, these timepieces are designed to survive instantaneous 200 degree shifts in temperature, acidic humidity and extreme g-forces (shocks up to 40 Gs). Much like the explorers who don them, there are but a lucky few that have earned special recognition. These are our eight picks of the best space watches (or their modern reinterpretation) available for the rest of you dreamers out there.

Body Lice
Body lice are tiny bugs that hide in soiled clothes and bedding. They crawl onto your body to bite you and feed on blood. Body lice like to bite soft skin areas where clothes fit tight to the body, such as the groin, waist, or armpits. Body lice are light gray and about the size of a sesame seed. They lay eggs in the seams and folds of clothing and bedsheets.
Avoid contact to prevent the spread of body lice:
Do not have close body contact with anyone until all your lice are gone.
Take a hot bath or shower and wash clothes and bedding:
This will usually get rid of body lice. Wash all clothes, towels, and sheets in hot, soapy water. Dry them on the hot cycle for at least 20 minutes. Items that cannot be washed or dry cleaned should be sealed in an airtight plastic bag for 2 weeks. Wear clean clothes and use clean towels and sheets. Do not share towels and sheets with others.
- Lice medicine: You can buy lice shampoo, lotion, or cream without a doctor's order. Apply these medicines to your body. Use them as directed. Do not use these products on children under 2 years old. Throw away all lice medicine that you do not use. Keep it away from your eyes.
- Take your medicine as directed. Call your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Contact your primary healthcare provider if:
- Your body lice do not go away, even after treatment.
- The lice bites become filled with pus or crusty, or your skin has a bad smell.
- Your skin burns, stings, swells, or is numb after you use lice medicine.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Seek care immediately or call 911 if:
- You are dizzy or have nausea and vomiting after you use lice medicine.
- You have areas on your skin that are red, swollen, warm, or tender, and you have a fever.

Generative Audio and The Future of Game Sound Design, by Stephan Schütze
Sound design expert Stephan Schütze has written a worthwhile op-ed on generative audio over at Develop. Beginning with his first experiences using generative capabilities on game sound design for Playstation 2, Schütze, the publisher behind Foundation's sound effects libraries (plus the Aviation Collection and Ambient Textures), gives a brief overview of the process and its open-ended potential before arguing why generative audio will soon be the status quo.

UK firms breaking the law as WEEE directive starts
Post a comment
LONDON Some British companies could be breaking the law as from today (March 15) as the Government has failed to consider the impact on business with the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) directive, a firm closely involved in the scheme has warned.
All producers of electronic and electrical waste in England and Wales are required to join an approved Producer Compliance Scheme (PCS) as of today under the European directive.
However, according to Leeds, England-based WeeeCare, the Government has, through lack of targeted information and properly funded publicity, put a great number of decent British companies at risk of breaking the law.
According to WeeeCare which says it was the first compliance scheme to have received EA (Environment Agency) approval in January and runs the only scheme to provide upfront, low costs for ensuring complete, professional compliance 65 percent of small to medium sized companies in the U.K. "have no idea what to do, or if they need to be signed up to a WEEE recycling scheme."
Particularly badly affected are said to be companies who import, manufacture, rebadge and sell electrical or electronic equipment (EEE), who will miss today's deadline for registration with a compliance scheme.
Compliance schemes must register their members with the EA by March 31.
WeeeCare, a division of environmental group WasteCare, claims that while most of the other EA approved schemes have no experience of collecting or treating WEEE and hence have no idea what their costs will be, it has taken the unusual step of guaranteeing the cost for 2007, by underwriting their charges.
The company's acting chief executive, Kevin Bray is concerned that: "For many companies the cost of compliance has been completely over-hyped, with some schemes charging them thousands of pounds just to join. Their impact on the environment through supply of EEE is low, and it is right that their costs should be equally low."

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies. What do you do?

The Smart Money Says Sell
Executives in financial services are selling off shares aggressively--and that could bode ill for the broader credit market.
Insider selling isn't an inherently bearish signal. Plenty of executives sell company shares in regular patterns or for financial planning purposes--to pay college bills, say.
But the widespread selling now taking place in the financial industry is noteworthy, says Michael P. Painchaud, managing director at Market Profile Theorems Inc., a Seattle quantitative research shop. He recently crunched the numbers on 1,120 such companies, from investment banks to specialty-finance outfits. What emerged was a clear pattern of bearishness in the corner suite, especially at firms sensitive to consumer credit. "There is an inordinate amount of risk within the finance industry relative to last summer," he says. "The big picture is one of erosion [of confidence] relative to other industries."
Painchaud found that in the financial industry, the ratio of open-market sales to purchases by insiders is 5.18, vs. the historical average of 2.1. His model, which compares insider selling in June, 2006, with January, 2007, takes into account, among other things, the number of individuals selling or buying in the past 60 days and heavy options-related sales. What follows are companies for which a "deterioration in the outlook is most clear." BusinessWeek translated Painchaud's numerical scale into categories: "most bearish," "highly bearish," and "bearish."

Since > everything you ask for (GHC, haskell-platform) seems to be already > there. > I guess I didn't communicate what I was trying to say clearly enough Originally I tried to set up the haskell environment in the way that was "expected" for an arch system, that is to use AUR packages for the libraries (and if the packages aren't available on AUR you notify the mailing list, and you can use tools like cabal2arch/bauerbill in the meantime) This however caused a number of issues once you deal with haskell installations that are non trivial, as I have described in this mailing list among the earlier one. These issues include - AUR doesn't always have fully updated versions of the hackagedb package - archlinux package management (through AUR) doesn't support the same granularity as cabal install, so using the archlinux-aur package management as an overlay above cabal install causes these types of problems. These include things like having to install an older version of package X without having to completely uninstall X (and its dependencies) to install that older version of X in order to build some haskell library/binary - Breaks between haskell-platform releases are more painful then they should be, due to the reliance on the cabal2arch tool What I am trying to say is that this suggested archlinux environment (for haskell) is very painful for the non trivial stuff (like if you rely on packages that aren't completely maintained, or a package that depends on another package with specific version ranges etc etc) and its *far* easier to just use cabal install for libraries. Of course for this *nothing* needs to be changed, except for the issue with non production haskell binaries/programs (which should be installed through AUR or even in official repositories). If we look at leksah for example ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43719), it depends on quite a few cabal2arch converted hackageDB packages (and those packages will obviously depend on more cabal2arch converted packages). Now this isn't an issue if 1. You have libraries installed through archlinux's AUR *and* 2. The dependencies happen to be the most up to date dependencies that are available for Archlinux AUR Point #1 is a concern for people that use cabal install for libraries, Point #2 is a general issue that effects any haskell program that doesn't happen to use the newest packages (either directly or indirectly). In the leksah example, some of those packages it depends on are outdated, but you obviously can't install those through AUR anymore, and then this whole cabal2arch mess starts happening with manual dependency tracking that I was talking about earlier (and what I refer to in regards to granularity). Currently haskell binaries/programs expect their dependencies to be installed via AUR packages, where as what I am saying (for the people that have installed their libraries through cabal) that there should be a PKGBUILD generator tool for haskell programs/binaries that scan for dependencies through cabal/ghc-pkg (and not AUR). I also believe that generally speaking, people should be encouraged to use cabal install instead of AUR > > Rémy. > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

PhD – University of Toronto, Canada (1999)
Research Interests
Dr. Jianrong (John) Wu's research centers on the statistical design and data analysis for Therapeutics of Solid Tumor Program (TSTP) and Pediatric Pre-Clinical Testing Program at St Jude.
My primary research interest is to develop new methodology for designing clinical trial and pre-clinical study. Pediatric cancer clinical trial is often conducted as a single-arm phase II trial or a randomized phase III trial with time-to-event endpoint, particular with a proportion of patients cured. Statistical methodology for such trial design is relatively scarce. My research is to provide more flexible and powerful statistical design for such trials. For pediatric pre-clinical tumor xenograft model, my research interest is to develop new methodology to assess the anti-tumor activity of the treatment for single drug testing and to assess the synergism for drug-drug combination testing. My other methodology research interests are survival data analysis, randomized phase III survival trial design and group sequential trial design and likelihood-based small sample and large sample inference.

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert
It was interesting to read the Bears coverage Wednesday morning in Chicago's two major newspapers.
Mike Mulligan of the Chicago Sun-Times chronicled the high number of carries for rookie tailback Matt Forte this season. Meanwhile, Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune profiled backup tailback Kevin Jones -- who just happens to be facing his former team Sunday in Detroit.
Is it time for Jones to start easing Forte's load? That might not be a bad idea for the long haul, assuming the Bears are comfortable with Jones' recovery from offseason knee surgery.
Forte has an NFL-high 92 carries in four games, six more than Kansas City's Larry Johnson, and also leads the Bears with 18 receptions. Forte is on pace to rush 368 times this season, putting him dangerously close to the 370 mark that historically has caused problems for running backs. Mulligan details a study by Football Outsiders that suggests tailbacks who get at least 370 carries in a season face a greater risk for injury and typically see their production the following year drop by 35 percent.
Enter Jones, who has 71 yards on 20 carries this season. Players who tear an ACL typically need a full year to return to their previous strength, but there is some hope that he will be able to provide more consistent relief for Forte. On Sunday, Jones will face the Lions and said: "Most of all I want to beat them. No way I want their first win to be on us."
Elsewhere around the NFC North:
Green Bay officials moved quickly to add depth at defensive end after learning of Cullen Jenkins' season-ending chest injury. The Packers signed free agent Kenneth Pettway, who was with former Jacksonville teammate Richard Collier last month during the shooting that left Collier paralyzed from the waist down. Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette has details.
Packers coaches have been impressed by how fast rookie quarterback Matt Flynn developed a rapport with his offensive teammates, according to Lori Nickel of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, for one, said: "[He] seems to have a little chemistry with some guys. Nothing seemed to be too big for him. He didn't seem to be intimidated by anything and obviously he's played in some big games himself and so I think those are some of the traits we observed that impressed us as a staff."
David Herron, the linebacker who might replace injured Minnesota starter E.J. Henderson, was once the blocking fullback for Maurice Clarett at Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio. Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune tells his story.
Rick Alonzo of the St. Paul Pioneer Press examines the Vikings' pass rush. The team has seven sacks in four games, good for No. 19 in the NFL.
Several Lions players are hinting that some offensive wrinkles could be employed Sunday against the Bears, according to John Niyo of the Detroit News.
Jon Kitna is on borrowed time with the Lions, writes Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press.

Public Policy In The Development Of Mussel Farming In Galicia: The Role Of The European Union
Today, mussel farming is commonly considered as strongly supported by the public sector. In order to ponder and test this asseveration this paper makes a historical revision of the role played by the public administration since the origins of this culture until current day. With this aim was established a systematization of the different subjects through which the mussel farming development was boosted. First of all a definition of these differents subjects was made, considering the activities in promoting aquaculture and, more concretely, mussel production. Three main functions were distinguished: planning and management, control and inspection and creation of social fixed assets. As a result, the important changes in the contribution of the public sector to the development of mussel farming due to the creation of the regional governments and the incorporation of Spain to the European Union vas verified.

In late 2007, our company was purchased by Priceline.com, and following that, we built and implemented the Priceline Partner Network.
HBCWeb continues providing custom design and development solutions to clients of the Priceline Partner Network who operate websites in the travel industry. Our Development Manager - Karl Ginter, runs the day to day operations of the company and manages a team of extremely talented and experienced designers, developers and programmers.
We would love to speak to you about your project, and provide insight based on years of industry experience. Ready to discuss your project? Click here to get started.
I really appreciate all of your hard work on this project. I am very proud of the product before us. Thanks for being able to translate my thoughts into a tangible design.

Of the hundreds of vendors we work with, they're one of the best.
While building my business, I could not have imagined how crutial a website would possibly be. I did my research and recieved multiple bids from dozens of potential website companies. I chose HBCWeb.com in the end because of their endless resourses, the quality of their existing websites and the personability of their staff. From the inital contact, the web development managerwas professional and was able to answer my questions and concerns efficantly and with great knowledge of the field.
Throughout the actual production of my site RoundersNetwork.com, HBCWeb.com's staff was there to hold my hand every step of the way. While I completly believe in my business model, I am not versed on the technical sides of web design/production. I couldn't have imagined how much work goes into making a website. The production team were completely at my disposal, making sure I understood what was going on and how each step is completed.
As I look forward to the future I have complete confidence in HBCWeb.com and what they can do for my business ventures. I have already began working with them on building my next website.

A French-language newspaper in Montreal is reporting that two players with the Montreal Canadiens have been linked to a suspected mobster.
In a story that appeared in todays edition, La Presse reported that Canadiens forwards Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn are good friends with 38-year-old Pasquale Mangiola, an alleged member of organized crime recently arrested in a police operation.
La Presse says Mangiola provided the Belarusian brothers with services during meetings at bars, including girls and the use of luxury cars.
Canadiens defenceman Roman Hamrlik also has connections with Mangiola, according to the story. He was seen in bars in the company of Mangiola.
Mangiola was arrested in what police are calling Project Axe and is facing six counts of conspiracy, along with possession and trafficking of cocaine and an illegal weapons charge.
Police allegedly recorded phone calls between the Kostitsyns and Mangiola during the course of their investigation.
But police are not commenting on the alleged links between the Kostitsyns and Mangiola cited by La Presse.
Concerning the numerous rumours that have been running around last night and this morning, they are still rumours as far as we are concerned, Constable Yannick Oimet said. We do not comment on investigations like Axe that are before the courts.
Sergei Kostitsyn was sent to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL earlier this week while his elder brother Andrei had one goal and two assists in a 5-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins last night.

- All UNLV men's basketball coverage
The UNLV basketball team's problems are far from fixed, but a 64-55 victory Saturday against No. 15 New Mexico was clearly a step in the right direction.
Yes, it's tough to forget the train wreck of the past two games — playing uninspired in an ugly loss at Boise State, then trailing by as many as 16 points in falling at last-place Fresno State.
But, in what was deemed as a must-win game against New Mexico to salvage the season, the Rebels — especially in the first half — resembled the quality team they were expected to be.
Rebel fans, it's OK to exhale. The season is off life support.
Unlike the past two games, the Rebels played with emotion, energy and aggression for most of the night. At times, they were too aggressive, which led to some ugly turnovers and rushed shots. Still, coach Dave Rice will likely take the good with the bad when it comes to playing with aggression, knowing the miscues from playing with urgency are better than simply going through the motions — see the defeats at Boise State and Fresno State, where a lack-of-effort was partially to blame.
Saturday, the effort wasn't a question from the opening tip. The Rebels shared the basketball and had a good flow offensively, were intense on defense and rode the momentum of the near-sellout home crowd. And, when New Mexico trimmed the lead to just eight points late, the Rebels stepped up with defensive stops.
Here are some more observations from the game:
Anthony Bennett's big-time statement: With the Rebels desperate for a good start to the game, their most talented player delivered. That, after all, is what McDonald's All-Americans are supposed to do. The freshman started the scoring by knocking down a 3-pointer and capped a 9-2 UNLV scoring outburst over the game's initial three minutes with a monstrous dunk on the fast break to bring most of the 17,738 fans in attendance to their feet. Two plays, three minutes and it appeared the Rebels' problems were fixed. Bennett was the force inside he needs to be for UNLV to be successful, finishing with 17 points and 12 rebounds in one of his best games of the Mountain West Conference season. When Bennett is on his game, the Rebels likely will be, too.
Great effort from Carlos: Carlos Lopez-Sosa's role has been reduced to a few minutes a game, if any. Saturday, he made the most of them. In five minutes at the end of the first half, he grabbed three rebounds and had an assist, feeding the ball from the post to an open shooter for a 3-pointer to help UNLV build a 14-point halftime lead. Lopez has several limitations, but in spot situations such as Saturday, can provide a spark — something he showed late in the second half by grabbing a loose ball between two New Mexico players by diving onto the floor. It's the kind of hustle play the Rebels had previously lacked. Lopez is an above average passer, using good court vision to start the fast break after a rebound, or finding a shooter for an open look. More important, he's a team player. Instead of sulking on the bench after having his role diminished, he's constantly on his feet cheering for teammates. Fittingly, he was rewarded with some important minutes — he played 15 minutes Saturday, scoring two points, grabbing five rebounds and earning a loud roar from the home crowd for his hustle.
Problem No.1? Ill-advised shots: I've frequently defended Bryce Dejean-Jones for his everything-looks-like-an-open-shot approach, but consecutive air ball attempts on 3-pointers in the first half seemed a bit rushed. The Rebels had their best shooting performance in three weeks, connecting on 9-of-22 on their 3-pointers to make it tough to criticize the shot selection. But just because it falls doesn't mean it's a good shot. The Rebels are getting momentum and flow offensively, and don't get me wrong, tonight's effort will bring several diehard fans off the ledge. Still, they shot just 37 percent and had a few scoring droughts that would have spelled disaster if they weren't playing at home. Jones and Katin Reinhardt, two players receiving most of the criticism the past two games, each scored 16 points. Credit to both for helping UNLV win the game. They were great. And, when the offense settles, will be better.
The ugly truth: Even with the win, the Rebels are still a middle-of-the-pack team in the league. San Diego State, Colorado State and New Mexico have played better and have more impressive NCAA Tournament credentials. UNLV is still solidly in the NCAA Tournament, especially with a quality win against ranked New Mexico, but if Selection Sunday were this week, the Rebels postseason draw would be disappointing. The good news is there are still two weeks — and home games with San Diego State, Colorado State and the league tournament — to enhance UNLV's resume. Regardless, the loss at Fresno State will be an eyesore.

Robert Taylor Community Complex
Robert Taylor Community ComplexSarasota, Fla. 2012
Project Description
This renovation project took a pre-World War II facility that had been subdivided over time and tore down barriers to create an open, flexible, light-infused facility. Beyond the dynamic curb appeal and the first impression, the building was designed to be a social center serving various needs of multiple generations. Circulation space replaced corridors, allowing unobstructed visual connectivity. Major components are open to and accessed by a humming central spine that serves as a natural conduit for wayfinding. Locker rooms were strategically placed to serve fitness, athletics and outdoor use, and a large stage in the community room and a smaller stage outdoors share a performance prep area, allowing for both indoor and outdoor performances.
The interior and exterior are visually integrated, with the sleek tropical expression and hue of the architecture finding its way into the light-infused spaces, creating a sense of outdoor experience for users while inside. Modern furnishings and light fixtures, rich accent colors and large-scale floor graphics provide texture and contrast to the tropical color palette.
The soaring gull-wing forms on the exterior are interrupted by expanses of glass that mirror the sky and cue an uplifted vision of redevelopment. A tropical cornucopia of colors is sprinkled across the articulated planes, punctuated by clear aluminum and Gulf Coast blue. An arcade reaches its arm out from the building base to provide protection from the elements for outdoor users. After dark, gleaming displays create a sense of identity and safety.

Professional sports holds an exaggerated place in modern American life. At its worst, politicians and bureaucrats link it to overblown promises of economic development, luring millions in taxpayer dollars to build arenas or, as is the case with West Valley City and the Utah Grizzlies, to subsidize teams. In reality, a few already wealthy people are enriched the most.
The truth is, if the National Basketball Association were to cancel its upcoming season, people along the Wasatch Front would spend their entertainment dollars on other things. Business around the EnergySolutions Arena, and certainly the arena itself, would suffer. But the economy as a whole would barely notice. That was the case in the affected cities when the NHL skipped a season during a labor dispute.
The effect on a community's psyche and collective sense of identity, however, may be another matter. The Utah Jazz are the state's only high-profile major sports franchise (Real Salt Lake and professional soccer remain outside the nation's mainstream sports radar). The team can provide a sense of community pride, as well as a welcome diversion during cold, sometimes inversion-choked winter days.
Unfortunately, the NBA has announced it is delaying the start of training camps indefinitely and canceling the first week of preseason games as owners and players continue to differ over the wording of a new labor contract. Negotiations are like workplace deadlines or the way most children treat homework. They become serious only when disaster looms. In this case, the difference between both sides is down to about $75 million. Critics have noted this is a tiny figure when compared with the players' combined $2 billion in salaries and the anticipated $4 billion owners expect to reap in revenue during the upcoming season.
But the history of professional sports suggests it would not be unreasonable to plan for the possibility that some or all of the season might be lost. The issue at stake has to do with how basketball-related income is shared, and the players would argue they already have conceded enough, coming down from a 57 percent share to something near 50 percent.
There are other issues at stake besides money. Small-market teams — and Utah certainly qualifies as one — would like a greater ability to hang onto star players who might be lured by the bright lights of big cities. And despite the revenues, many teams claim to be losing money — a collective total of red ink the commissioner places at $300 million. That's a figure, it should be noted, the players dispute.18 comments on this story
But with high unemployment in the general economy, and with tough times eating into many household budgets, the league would be wise to brace itself a more austere future. It may gain a huge chunk of its revenue through advertising, but it would be hard to sustain exorbitant salaries in all 30 markets if tough times continue long term. Attendance, meanwhile can be an indicator of community interest, and it appears to be waning in some markets.
Whether all this can be worked out quickly in coming days is anyone's guess. Life in Utah certainly would go on normally without the NBA. It would be more interesting with it, however, which is the best reason to hope for a quick settlement.

/PRNewswire/ -- Arteriocyte, a leading biotechnology company with offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Hopkinton, Massachusetts announced today approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial using its Magellan MAR01T technology in the treatment of Compartment Syndrome.
The FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE 15013) allows Arteriocyte and its clinical partners to initiate evaluation of concentrated marrow injections (using the Magellan MAR01T technology) to mitigate ischemic damage due to Compartment Syndrome in extremity trauma patients. This treatment has been developed in partnership with the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (ISR) and San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) at Fort Sam Houston, and The Ohio State University as part of Arteriocyte's Cellular Therapies for Battlefield Wounds Program.
The Magellan system is an FDA 510(k) cleared medical device for the rapid production of platelet rich plasma from blood and bone marrow that can be applied to a surgical site as surgeons deem necessary for their clinical use requirements. Magellan MAR01T technology enables the rapid Operating Room based "closed system" concentration of aspirated bone marrow, yielding an injectable tissue rich in platelets, hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells in as little as fifteen minutes. The self contained Magellan unit provides critical ease-of-use and operator-independent consistency necessary for deployment in military medical operations. Arteriocyte has partnered with the U.S. Military to develop Magellan MAR01T in clinical use across three trauma platforms: Extremity Trauma, Burn Wounds and Infection Prevention. The company is already actively enrolling patients in a separate clinical trial for MAR01T treatment in Critical Limb Ischemia under an FDA approved Investigational Device Exemption (IDE-14522).
The current clinical protocol will evaluate the Magellan MAR01T technology's role in treating wounded warriors at risk for long-term complications due to Compartment Syndrome, an acute condition that results from a rapid build up of fluid pressure in soft tissue compartments following trauma or severe inflammatory events. The elevated pressure collapses the blood vessels that perfuse muscle and bone, which can result in permanent tissue death, disability and amputation of the affected limb.
"We've been thrilled to partner with Arteriocyte in development of point-of-care cellular therapies," said Joseph Wenke, PhD, Manager of ISR's Extremity Trauma and Regenerative Medicine Task Area and the Orthopaedic Extremity Trauma Research Program. "This program is another example of the Institute for Surgical Research's efforts to improve stabilization, retention and readiness for thousands of our Wounded Warriors. We're pleased that Arteriocyte is ready to take this treatment into the clinic."
Retired Army Col., Dr. John Kragh, Orthopaedic Surgeon and researcher at the ISR, and Arteriocyte's Program Officer added, "Compartment Syndrome and the associated complications are a major challenge in Combat Casualty Care, resulting in elevated rates of amputations. This treatment represents an important potential tool to improve success of limb salvage for these patients."
Enrollment into the Compartment Syndrome clinical trial is anticipated to commence immediately following final approval by the Army's Human Research Protections Office. The study will be performed at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, led by Dr. Jason Calhoun, Chair, Department of Orthopaedics, and Frank J. Kloenne, Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery.
Arteriocyte CEO Don Brown said, "We consider it our responsibility to help focus on improving care delivery for our men and women in uniform. During the past five years, we have worked hard to make Arteriocyte's technologies available to those men and women who serve our country. We continue to be humbled by the extraordinary vision and commitment of our partners at ISR and SAMMC to develop and deliver the best care possible for our combat wounded soldiers."
