2011-06-10

DURHAM, NC, June 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) In keeping with the "diamond" theme of its 75th anniversary, The Wooten Company is celebrating the milestone with a special event at the Durham Bulls baseball game on Sunday, June 12, against the Norfolk Tides. The event is the first of three baseball-related celebrations at which the firm will include activities for local employees, clients and their families, while recognizing its achievements and its impact on the local community over the years.

One of the most reputable engineering, planning and architectural firms in North Carolina, The Wooten Company is commemorating its achievements of the past 75 years, including several in the Triangle area. Over the years, the firm has been responsible for developing: the water and sewer infrastructure master plan for Research Triangle Park, neighborhood development strategies for Raleigh, buildings for schools and businesses in Wake and Durham Counties, and the original plans for Carter-Finley Stadium at North Carolina State University, as well as several other projects that have made a substantial impact in the community.

"We are extremely proud of the work we have done for the Triangle area and other communities across the state," said Bucky Moore, president of The Wooten Company. "Our firm has demonstrated over the past 75 years a willingness to meet the infrastructure needs of our growing state, and it is a great time to celebrate our accomplishments in this area."

The Wooten Company will hold similar events later this summer at the stadiums of the Kinston Indians and the Hickory Crawdads for clients, employees and families of the firm's Greenville, Hickory and Asheboro offices. They recently held an invitation-only golf tournament for clients and employees to show its appreciation for the individuals and groups that contributed to firm's growth and success. The firm will celebrate its actual 75th anniversary on October 3.

For the past 75 years, The Wooten Company has been dedicated to designing rural electric lines, water and sewer systems, building systems and community planning and development projects all over the state of North Carolina. Their services include sanitary/environmental engineering, general civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, community planning, architecture, landscape architecture, and GIS/mapping services.

GoldCoin.net - Senior Citizens Hurt By Inflation Turn to Gold Coins

2011-06-10

Between several trillions in government bailouts and quantitative easing programs over the last two years, many seniors are feeling the pinch in the pocketbook. Excessive overprinting of United States Dollars and higher food prices have created the start of what could become an inflation-dominated decade. With significant increases in the prices of goods and services along with weakening dollar-backed assets, gold companies are reporting higher sales from senior citizens feeling this pinch the hardest as their pensions lose spending power and savings diminish in value by ...

But since the directive has been extended, more people are seeking the certifications to get themselves compliant with the directive and Security Plus is the most popular. The CompTIA Security+ training (http://www.trainace.com/courses/securityplus/) course is designed to meet the needs of network administrators, ...

Study Shows Evidence of Systemic Inflammatory Reaction to Silicone Breast Implants

2011-06-10

When the FDA lifted its10 year moratorium on the use of silicone breast implants for cosmetic breast augmentation in November 2006, it stated that the preponderance of evidence suggested there was no connection between silicone breast implants and breast cancer or autoimmune disorders, charges that had led to the moratorium. However, it also suggested that breast implant manufacturers and surgeons should continue to study silicone breast implants for the next ten years to build up evidence about those risks. Now, five years later, it seems one study suggests a mechanism ...

Police Seeing Higher BAC Levels in Those Charged With DUI

2011-06-10

Some Arizona law enforcement officials estimate that the number of so-called "extreme DUI" cases -- those involving drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 percent or more -- have doubled in recent years. Cases of "super extreme DUI" -- where the driver's BAC is more than .20 percent -- have also risen sharply. From a law enforcement standpoint, this trend has resulted in tougher crackdowns on possible drunken drivers, and the public outcry will no doubt pressure judges to "throw the book" at people charged with higher-level ...

New supernova remnant lights up

2011-06-10

Cambridge, MA - In 1987, light from an exploding star in a neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, reached Earth. Named Supernova 1987A, it was the closest supernova explosion witnessed in almost 400 years, allowing astronomers to study it in unprecedented detail as it evolves. Today a team of astronomers announced that the supernova debris, which has faded s0vewr the years is now brightening. This shows that a different power source has begun to light the debris, and marks the transition from a supernova to a supernova remnant. "Supernova 1987A has become the ...

Biologists uncover regulatory mechanism for gene expression in the visual system

2011-06-10

Biologists have uncovered a key regulatory mechanism used for gene expression in the visual system. Their findings, which appear in the latest issue of the journal Cell, offer new insights into the complexity behind the genetic make-up of biological systems. The study, which included researchers from New York University's Department of Biology, Japan's Okayama University, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and Germany's University of Würzburg, examined the photoreceptor cells in the retina of the fruit fly Drosophila. Drosophila is a powerful model for studying eye development ...

Early agricultural piracy informs the domestication of rice

2011-06-10

The origins of rice have been cast in a new light by research publishing in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics on June 9, 2011. By reconciling two theories, the authors show that the domestication of rice occurred at least twice independently but with extensive "borrowing" between the two subspecies. Indica and japonica are, respectively, the southern and northern varieties of rice and they are major staple crops in Asia. Whether they share a single origin of domestication or were domesticated independently twice interests both historians and biologists, and the two ...

Physicists hit on mathematical description of superfluid dynamics

2011-06-10

It has been 100 years since the discovery of superconductivity, a state achieved when mercury was cooled, with the help of liquid helium, to nearly the coldest temperature achievable to form a superfluid that provides no resistance to electrons as they flow through it. During that century, scientists have struggled to find a precise mathematical explanation of why and how this strange fluid behaves as it does. Liquid helium-4 itself becomes a superfluid when cooled to within a few degrees of absolute zero on the Kelvin scale (minus 273 Celsius or minus 460 Fahrenheit), ...

New Law Offers Relief to Struggling Utah Homeowners

2011-06-10

Despite signs of economic recovery, the home foreclosure crisis is far from over. Utah homeowners still face considerable threats: in February, Utah had the fourth highest per capita rate of foreclosure filings in the nation and over 32,000 homeowners were slapped with foreclosure notices in 2010. In other words, last year an astonishing one in 29 homes was affected. State lawmakers have taken notice. A new bill aimed at stemming wrongful foreclosures in Utah, SB261, was recently signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert. While SB261 seems to be a step in the right direction, ...
