The George Peabody Library
The Sheridan Libraries at The Johns Hopkins University announce the opening of Eureka!: Rare Books in the History of Scientific Discovery at the George Peabody Library in Baltimore. Spanning more than 2,500 years of scientific breakthroughs and including books that date from the late 15th century to the mid 20th century, Eureka! contains highlights from the Dr. Elliott and Eileen Hinkes Collection of Rare Books in the History of Science.
The collection, totaling more than 300 items, provides a kind of roadmap of seminal moments in the history of science and was assembled over two decades by Dr. Elliott Hinkes, an alumnus of the Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Hinkes, who died in 2009, maintained a private practice specializing in medical oncology and hematology in the Los Angeles area for more than 30 years and was an associate clinical professor at UCLA.

JSI & Octagon open new Home Depot Store
Jericho Stage built this small public speaking indoor stage with steps and safety rails. The stage was carpeted and skirted in black and JSI also provided the podium. This store in Bethesda, Maryland was once a high end Expo Design Center, A Home Depot Company lasting 17 years that catered to the more affluent of home renovators and new home builders. It was only a year ago that the Expo stores started closing due to the crippling affects of a poor economy. Now with hopes of a growing economy, Home Depot and it’s marketing company “Octagon” have asked JSI to help them reopen the location as Home Depot Store #2509. Many neighbors and friends of the former store were glad to see the location reopen. The event was busy with old and new clients as a once familiar place to shop opened with a breath of new life.
