GRAPEVINE, TX, April 12, 2013 (Press-News.org) Logan Creek Construction, a national developer of industrial space, has commenced construction on a new 500,000 square foot manufacturing facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth Industrial Center. The facility is a built-to-suit project for Fresenius Medical Care, which will operate the property under a long-term lease and relocate from its existing location in Coppell, TX. As a result of the project, Fresenius Medical Care will add several new jobs with a substantial capital investment and grow its existing relationships within the Coppell and Dallas-Fort Worth community.
Ed Harmon, president of Harmon Family Development Company, expressed his excitement for the project, "We have been seeking a new location for a distribution center in this logistics corridor for over two years. Dallas-Fort Worth provides ready infrastructure and a central location to the distribution points that will be served." He anticipates completion of the new facility in late 2013 or early 2014.
Doug Maloney, Senior Director of Supply Chain Operations for Fresenius Medical Care, is extremely pleased the project is moving forward. "It is exciting to know that we will continue to be a member of the Coppell and Dallas-Fort Worth community," Maloney said. "It was important for us to find a location that not only met our business needs, but also a location that would allow us to retain our valued employees. This location meets both criteria. This is where we want to be."
The state-of-the-art facility will serve as a regional distribution center for Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA), the world's largest, integrated provider of products and services for individuals with chronic kidney failure, a condition that affects more than 1,400,000 individuals worldwide. Through its network of approximately 2,085 dialysis clinics in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific, Fresenius Medical Care provides dialysis treatment to over 160,000 patients around the globe.

The company's North American headquarters is located in Waltham, MA, a suburb of Boston.
Project financing was provided by Amegy Bank of Dallas. "We are thrilled to work with Mr. Harmon and DFW Airport in securing Fresenius' regional operations in North Texas," stated Lindsay Jones, Senior Vice President for Amegy Bank.

While Aereo Grabs Headlines, Rabbit TV Grabs Audience
2013-04-12
It's no secret that Internet and wireless bandwidth will inevitably replace cable's outdated and costly infrastructure when it comes to the delivery of digital programming (TV shows, movies, and events). Widespread use of computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and set-top boxes is driving the demand for universal access to all types of programming over the Internet.
Today's active consumers often find it difficult to watch shows during scheduled time-slots, and are resistant to paying over $100 a month for countless channels they don't even watch. Many have stopped ...
IU study: 'Backbone' of mental illness stigma common in 16 countries studied
2013-04-11
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- An international study found that despite widespread acceptance that mental illness is a disease that can be effectively treated, a common "backbone" of prejudice exists that unfairly paints people with conditions such as depression and schizophrenia as undesirable for close personal relationships and positions of authority.
This backbone, say the Indiana University sociologists who led the study, spanned the 16 diverse countries examined. While the findings might be discouraging to mental health advocates, the data can be used to reconfigure public ...
New research challenges assumptions about effects of global warming on mountain tree line
2013-04-11
For years, many scientists believed that forest tree lines on mountains everywhere would shift to higher elevations as the planet's temperature increased due to global warming.
It's not that simple, new University of Calgary research has shown.
Even in a warmer world, local geologic/geomorphic conditions – including slope steepness, exposure and soil depth – will limit trees being established and growing on mountainsides, the research found.
The disruption caused by a shifting tree line could fragment alpine ecosystems and potentially threaten certain species. But ...
Despite what you may think, your brain is a mathematical genius

The irony of getting away to a remote place is you usually have to fight traffic to get there. After hours of dodging dangerous drivers, you finally arrive at that quiet mountain retreat, stare at the gentle waters of a pristine lake, and congratulate your tired self on having "turned off your brain."
"Actually, you've just given your brain a whole new challenge," says Thomas D. Albright, director of the Vision Center Laboratory at of the Salk Institute and an expert on how the visual system works. "You may think you're resting, but your brain is automatically assessing ...
Complaint-prone doctors can be identified before complaints occur
2013-04-11

Chickens with bigger gizzards are more efficient
2013-04-11
April 10, 2013 - According to animal scientists, farmers could further protect the environment by breeding chickens with larger digestive organs. This research, published in the February issue of the Journal of Animal Science, could solve a major problem in poultry production.
In some areas, large poultry operations release nitrogen and phosphorus into the environment. These pollutants come from chicken waste, and they can cause ecological problems like algal blooms in rivers and lakes.
"These result in a loss of plant and animal species and have negative impacts on ...

And their latest results, which make the technology more versatile, were the topic of a report here today at the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical ...
