Engineering Firm

To an outsider, KCI Technologies may appear to be a typical, run of the mill engineering firm.  However, once introduced, prospective clients soon understand why KCI was recently ranked 83rd on the Engineering News-Record's list of the top 500 engineering firms in the country, 7th on its list of Top 20 Telecommunications Firms, and 55th out of the Top 100 ‘Pure’ Designers. With a focus on providing the highest quality service through a commitment to innovation and employee development, KCI is clearly positioning itself for the future.  KCI Technologies is currently the largest employee-owned, multi-disciplined engineering firm in Maryland.   Providing consulting, engineering, and environmental construction management services, KCI had revenues of approximately $131 million in 2009, and serves clients in the Northeast, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the US.  The more than 900 employee owners of KCI operate out of offices in 12 states – Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia.  KCI has undergone incredible changes over the last several decades.  From a basement dream, to a multi-million dollar employee owned organization, KCI is poised to face the future.  However, with an uncertain economy and reduced governmental and private-sector spending, will the loyalty and commitment of the employee-owners be enough for KCI to continue building the impressive set of awards and recognition for which the company has become accustomed?

Telehealth is progressively being considered as a possible approach for delivering more efficient healthcare and addressing access issues. Since the establishment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), new reform-based programs and initiatives often focus around the three goals of the “Triple Aim”: (a) improving population health, (b) enhancing the patient care experience, and (c) reducing per capita costs. As telehealth adoption and utilization within health systems is expected to increase, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has shown initiative by investing in programs that help facilitate the growth of telehealth by providing non-partisan, unbiased information and technical assistance. One such program is the telehealth resource centers (TRCs). TRCs are funded to increase the use, efficiency, and raise awareness about telehealth through education and training. This article provides an overview of the services offered by twelve regional TRCs, as well as the National Telehealth Technology Assessment Center (TTAC) and the National Telehealth Policy Resource Center (NTRC-P). It also provides suggestions about what more can be done by the federal government to maximize telehealth's potential to address the needs of a strapped health system.

During its 36th and 37th sessions, held in February and May 1959, respectively, the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) spent considerable time on the preparation of documentation for the forthcoming Assembly. Special attention was paid to the budget estimates for 1960, 1961, and 1962, a review of the basis of assessment, documentation on questions of a constitutional and general policy nature, the policy and program of ICAO for the provision of air navigation facilities and services, ICAO policy on technical assistance, and the future frequency of Assembly sessions. Opinion in the Council was evenly divided on asking the Assembly to vote funds to cover the basic estimates of meetings and activities and to authorize the Council to make, if required, supplementary appropriations up to the amounts indicated in a list of contingent expenditures, as opposed to asking it to vote a budget that would include the contingent expenditures, identified as such, with the proviso that the amounts voted for these expenditures would be available only for the purposes indicated and that assessments for them would be made by the Council if and when necessary. Both alternatives subsequently having been put to the Assembly, the latter body decided to do nothing about the contingent expenditures for meetings, while authorizing the Council to make supplementary appropriations to cover the contingency that the post adjustment for Headquarters would be raised. On the subject of assessments, two tasks were undertaken, one being the drafting of instructions to the Secretary General of ICAO on the preparation of the draft scale of assessments for 1960–1962, and the other being a general review of the basis of assessment, while on the subject of the future frequency of Assembly sessions the Council decided to recommend a major session in 1962 and, if necessary, another session of limited scope either in i960 or in 1961, preferably the latter.

Die neuweltlichen Arten der Gattung Stiphrosoma Czerny, 1928 werden revidiert. Vierzehn Arten werden festgestellt, darunter der Gattungstypus, S. sabulosum (Haliday, 1837), sowie 13 neue Arten: S. pectinatum sp. n. (Kanada: Ontario, Quebec; USA: District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia), S. lucipetum sp. n. (Bahamas; Belize; Costa Rica; Kuba; USA: Florida), S. pullum sp. n. (Costa Rica), S. setipleurum sp. n. (Kanada: Neubraunschweig, Neuschottland, Ontario, Quebec; USA: Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia), S. balteatum sp. n. (Kanada: Ontario, Quebec; USA: District of Columbia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin), S. hirtum sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan; USA: Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Utah), S. artum sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta, Saskatchewan; USA: North Dakota), S. helvum sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta; USA: Montana), S. stylatum sp. n. (Kanada: Manitoba, Ontario; USA: Minnesota, Utah), S. minor sp. n. (USA: Arizona), S. vittatum sp. n. (USA: Kalifornien), S. sororium sp. n. (Mexiko) und S. humerale sp. n. (Kanada: Alberta, Britisch Kolumbien, Manitoba, Neufundland, Neuschottland, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan; USA: Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington; in der Paläarktis: - Lettland; Nord-Korea; Russland: Sibirien). Alle Arten werden beschrieben unter Abbildung der männlichen und weiblichen Genitalien sowie anderer diagnostischer Merkmale, und ihre Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse, Biologie und Verbreitung werden diskutiert. Das Vorkommen von S. sabulosum in der nearktischen Region wird erörtert aber ihre vermutete Einschleppung aus Europa ist unbewiesen. Die holarktische Verbreitung von S. humerale wird als natürlich erachtet; ostpaläarktische Populationen von S. humerale wurden früher irrtümlich für S. laetum (Meigen, 1830) gehalten. Flügelpolymorphismus wird von zwei neuen Arten beschrieben, S. hirtum sp. n. und S. artum sp. n., sowie von S. sabulosum. Eine neue Gattungsdiagnose für Stiphrosoma wird erstellt unter Berücksichtigung aller bekannten Arten, und die Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse der Gattung werden diskutiert. Ein Schlüssel für alle Arten von Stiphrosoma weltweit wird vorgestellt.StichwörterTaxonomy, Stiphrosoma, generic diagnosis, 13 new species, key, relationships, biology, distribution, wing polymorphism, New World.Nomenklatorische Handlungenartum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.balteatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.helvum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.hirtum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.humerale Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.lucipetum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.minor Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.pectinatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.pullum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.setipleurum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.sororium Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.stylatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.vittatum Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Stiphrosoma), spec. n.

Secular Power

In the XIV century. centripetal tendencies began to appear in the Moscow principality. Inside the Russian church, several areas were distinguished. Part of the clergy supported the specificobar form. The other understood the need for transformations in society. As a result, this led to a split in the Russian church in the 15th century for "non-possessors" and "Josephites". The former linked the fate of the future with the ideology of hesychasm and its moral transformation, while the latter sought support in alliance with a strong secular power.

Music Tradition

This paper explores Arnold Schoenberg’s curious ambivalence towards Haydn. Schoenberg recognized Haydn as an important figure in the German serious music tradition, but never closely examined or clearly articulated Haydn’s influence and import on his own musical style and ethos, as he did with many other major composers. This paper argues that Schoenberg failed to explicitly recognize Haydn as a major influence because he saw Haydn as he saw himself, namely as a somewhat ungainly, paradoxical figure, with one foot in the past and one in the future. In his voluminous writings on music, Haydn is mentioned by Schoenberg far less frequently than Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven, and his music appears rarely as examples in Schoenberg’s theoretical texts. When Schoenberg does talk about Haydn’s music, he invokes — with tacit negativity — its accessibility, counterpoising it with more recondite music, such as Beethoven’s, or his own. On the other hand, Schoenberg also praises Haydn for his complex, irregular phrasing and harmonic exploration. Haydn thus appears in Schoenberg’s writings as a figure invested with ambivalence: a key member of the First Viennese triumvirate, but at the same time he is curiously phantasmal, and is accorded a peripheral place in Schoenberg’s version of the canon and his own musical genealogy.
