The Economic Impact of a Holy Cross Hospital in Germantown, MD Executive Summary This Sage Policy Group, Inc. (Sage) report estimates the economic and fiscal impacts associated with the proposed Holy Cross Hospital - Germantown. What is being proposed represents a unique economic development opportunity. To the study teams knowledge, no hospital in the nations history has been located on a community college campus with an educational partnership. The proposed new Holy Cross 93-bed facility would be built on the Germantown campus of Montgomery College as the anchor tenant of the college's Science and Technology Park, which is envisioned as home to the hospital, biotechnology companies, other high-tech companies, and a bioscience education center that are collectively expected to occupy as much as 1 million square feet of office and lab space. The new hospital would directly serve the most rapidly growing community in Montgomery County and create employment opportunities in a part of the county that has fewer of them. Over the past three decades, Montgomery Countys population expanded 64 percent with a disproportionate number of the 370000 newcomers arriving in the countys northwest quadrant along I-270. According to data from the Montgomery County Department of Planning, the number of jobs per 1000 population in Germantown is nearly half that of the county as a whole (274 vs. 534). This upcounty population (of approximately 220000) represents the states largest ...

Google Tech Talk December 4, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Manuel Pérez-Quiñones. Personal Information Management (PIM) practices are the behaviors that we follow when we organize our information. This often includes emails, documents, bookmarks, pictures, etc. Research in PIM has identified a common set of activities that require support: encountering information, organizing information, filing/archiving, and reusing information. Different tools must provide different kinds of support for each one of these activities. PIM practices become easier if the organization provides some infrastructure to alleviate the difficulty of these activities. But a larger value is that the organization can leverage these personal practices to improve the effectiveness of others and to capture that elusive corporate knowledge in an easy way. In this talk, I will describe previous work in PIM and highlight how some of the PIM practices can be supported and leveraged from the organization point of view. Manuel A. Pérez-Quiñones is Associate Dean and Director of the Office for Graduate Recruiting and Diversity Initiatives at the Graduate School, Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and a member of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at Virginia Tech. Pérez-Quiñones holds a DSc in Computer Science from The George Washington University.

Whereas this ascent of Europe was spurred by the Industrial Revolution, it was helped by the exploitation of other regions and societies through colonialism and slave trade, in addition to the unfair rules of the game dictated by the powerful and conquering nations. It would be unwise to think that the history has reached its conclusion.

About St.Petersburg College: In 1927, St. Petersburg College (then known as St. Petersburg Junior College) became Florida's first private, non-profit, two-year school of higher learning located in downtown St. Petersburg. Full accreditation followed in 1931 and in 1948 SPC became a public college. In June 2001, SPJC officially became St. Petersburg College when Florida's governor signed legislation making it the first community college in Florida to offer four-year degrees. On Dec. 11, 2001, the college received the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' accreditation to offer courses leading to bachelor's degrees. In 2002, St. Petersburg College began offering courses leading to bachelor's degrees in Education, Nursing and Technology Management. The college's commitment to its two-year curriculum, which has earned it wide recognition and annually wins it high national rankings, remains as strong as ever.

This program's offerings augment its two-year program, which has ...
Google Tech Talk April 9, 2009 ABSTRACT "Reflections on the 50th Anniversary of NASA: The Giants on Whose Shoulders We Stood" Why explore? Among the many reasons, we explore because it fuels a useful scientific and technological foundation that enables a flourishing economy. Taking humans to the edge of their known world both requires new technology, and returns radical new insights into the world. Without exploration, science and engineering became routine and uninteresting. The NASA Ames Research Center, which is nearly 70 years old, has contributed scientific and engineering expertise to the exploration missions at the heart of NASA over its 50 year history. Ames has made major contributions to the manned and unmanned space programs, including Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, the Space Shuttle, aeronautics, lunar science, planetary exploration, Mars, and the prospects of life in the universe. Ames' most significant contribution to science and technology, though, has been in developing the careers of masterful researchers. This presentation will emphasize the aerospace giants who fundamentally shaped the history of NASA Ames. Presented by John W. Boyd: John W. Boyd serves as Senior Advisor to the Center Director, the Senior Advisor for History and the Center Ombuds. Jack maintains his Virginia lilt. He is a graduate of George Washington High School in Danville, Virginia; of the aeronautical engineering program at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia ...

For educational purposes, this Sci-Fi story repeats itself throughout real human history. In philosophy, Socrates questioned authority and died for it. Pythagoras (inventor of the Pythagorean theorem) was deemed nuts and exiled on a ship if I remember my math/history lesson correctly. Galileo (astronomer) was sent to a life of house arrest (by the holy factions) saying the Earth revolves around the sun, contrary to religious beliefs that Earth/we are the center of the universe. (Everything IS the center of the universe, but I'll save that for another time) It may take years, decades, or even centuries but when truth becomes known and accepted, there is no stopping it. The power factions, (after the time of acceptance passes) the leaders will either change or conform and/or create ways to alter their views in order to continue their power as generations later never question or learn from their ancestor's history, ignorantly believing, "This new thought/idea/theory/tragedy, etc. couldn't happen today because, "Things are different now!" That, my friends, is "Cognitive Dissonance" at its absolute best! My thought involving this is technology may boom, but emotions are still primitive. In other words, "It's still the same sh$t, different generation." -Alien Orthodox-

Founded in 2000, The Azalea International Folk Fair was created with the clear and definite mission of serving as an invaluable educational resource to augment the social studies curriculum in South Georgia. The images and illustrations portrayed in school textbooks can be limited, abstract, or remote. We envision a project that literally brings the world to our doorsteps and provides a concrete expression of the worlds many traditions, cultures, and arts to supplement school textbooks and lessons. We began in 2000 with a three-hour program at the Valdosta-Lowndes Public Library called the Chinese Cultural Reflection that allowed students to explore the richness of the world's oldest living civilization and the social customs of today's modern China. In 2004, we were fortunate enough to form enriching friendships and working partnerships with members of Valdostas Asian communities. United by a spirit of caring and giving, we worked together to create a program entitled the Asian Cultural Experience to tell a broader story of Asian culture. In 2007, with an unwavering sense of purpose and a strong measure of confidence developed as a result of eight successful years and much valuable experience, we decided to expand the scope of our program to include Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and the rest of the global community. In keeping with our expanded mission, we gave the 2007 event a new title: The Azalea International Folk Fair. In 2008, both Georgia State Senate and ...
