LONG BEACH, CA, April 19, 2013 (Press-News.org) Mesa Commons Apartments is an affordable housing development with a strong sense of place. The idea behind it is to incorporate sustainable aspects through walkability to amenities and the implementation of "Green" technologies. This 77-unit affordable community will serve large families with incomes between 30% and 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The subject site is a 4.08 acre vacant parcel with primary access from El Cajon Boulevard and with full view from the main road. The surrounding neighborhood is single-family homes adjacent to a commercial corridor. The architectural goal for Mesa Commons is modern - contemporary architecture that conforms with previously approved plans for the community. The architect incorporates Universal Design concepts throughout the project.
Mesa Commons Apartments will be a huge asset to the community, and will include one-, two- and three-bedroom units for families who qualify. With a warm yet modern feel, the two and three-story residential development will contribute to the neighborhood by offering an aesthetically pleasing design and beautiful landscaping. Recreational amenities for the residents of Mesa Commons will include a tot lot, fitness facilities, picnic areas, laundry facilities, surveillance cameras, assigned parking, and a clubhouse that encompasses a kitchen, computer room, entertainment area/meeting space and restrooms.
Mesa Commons is another fantastic example of public/private partnerships that are so successful in creating affordable housing today. The project is being developed using 9% federal low income housing tax credits, conventional construction and permanent loans from Chase Bank, equity from Boston Capital, and gap financing from the San Diego Housing Commission, all of whom were on hand to kick off the project.

Managing Risk in Healthcare Through Lean
2013-04-19
Risk management in the hospital setting is complex.

In this one-day workshop, participants will learn another way to view risk management--through the lens of Lean.
By applying Lean principles, healthcare environments can better understand processes that fail and redesign them to eliminate waste and improve safety. They can make risk management something that everyone is involved in, ...

NIST tests in New York City suggest how to improve emergency radio communications
2013-04-18
Radio communications can be unreliable in underground tunnels and other large, complicated structures, posing a safety hazard for emergency responders. New tests of wireless emergency safety equipment by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have defined the challenges more precisely and suggest how emergency communications might be improved.
In a series of experiments conducted in New York City, an epicenter of underground tunnels and high-rise buildings, NIST researchers measured path loss, or reduced signal strength, which can occur when signals ...

2013-04-18
In the first published results of more than three years of tracking mountain lions in the Santa Cruz Mountains, UC Santa Cruz researchers document how human development affects the predators' habits.
In findings published today (April 17) in the online journal PLOS ONE, UCSC associate professor of environmental studies Chris Wilmers and colleagues with the UC Santa Cruz Puma Project describe tracking 20 lions over 6,600 square miles for three years. Researchers are trying to understand how habitat fragmentation influences the physiology, behavior, ecology, and conservation ...
Researchers abuzz over caffeine as cancer-cell killer
2013-04-18
Researchers from the University of Alberta are abuzz after using fruit flies to find new ways of taking advantage of caffeine's lethal effects on cancer cells—results that could one day be used to advance cancer therapies for people.
Previous research has established that caffeine interferes with processes in cancer cells that control DNA repair, a finding that has generated interest in using the stimulant as a chemotherapy treatment. But given the toxic nature of caffeine at high doses, researchers from the U of A instead opted to use it to identify genes and pathways ...
Increased brain activity predicts future onset of substance use
2013-04-18
Do people get caught in the cycle of overeating and drug addiction because their brain reward centers are over-active causing them to experience greater cravings for food or drugs? In a unique prospective study Oregon Research Institute (ORI) senior scientist Eric Stice, Ph.D., and colleagues tested this theory, called the reward surfeit model. The results indicated that elevated responsivity of reward regions in the brain increased the risk for future substance use, which has never been tested before prospectively with humans. Paradoxically, results also provide evidence ...
