APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES
Contract awarded: Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) has recently been awarded a Defense Advance Projects Research Agency contract for Urban Leader Tactical Response, Awareness & Visualization (ULTRA-Vis). The goal of the ULTRA-Vis program is to enable the small military unit commander to disseminate commands and actionable combat information over a wider area. This goal is accomplished through the development of equipment that can be worn by soldiers that allows them to issue commands and transmit critical combat information in the form of icons placed in a see-through heads-up display. ARA's Champaign office is contributing to this ARA effort through its leading technologies in motion tracking, icon registration, and a multi-modal interface. About ARA: ARA is an employee-owned, engineering, and science company that works with government and private industry to solve technical problems of national importance. It provides technologies and services that impact people's lives in critical defense, security, and infrastructure areas. ARA's Champaign office primarily serves in transportation infrastructure, management, safety, and operations as well as innovative location, tracking, and interface programs. http://www.ara.com.
THE MORNING CUP AND MORE
Located on the first floor of Ramshaw-managed Stratford Residences in downtown Urbana, the Morning Cup and More opened as the area's newest coffee shop on December 29. In addition to delicious coffee drinks, the shop offers wonderful food dishes, with the most talked-about item undoubtedly the homemade gelato. All menu items are prepared fresh, homemade, and prepared to order. The shop has a very relaxing atmosphere, with wooden floors, small tables, comfortable seats, and the pleasing coffee-shop aroma filling the air. And once warm weather comes, the shop has a wonderful patio area for outside seating. Co-owners Ron Bleky and Ann Stokr invite all local residents and visitors to stop by for a meal, a treat, or some coffee—or a combination of all three. http://www.tmcandmore.com/.
Sports Performance: Mettler Athletic's Pre-Season is a progressive sport-specific program developed to get athletes ready for their upcoming competitive season. Every sport has repetitive movements that can cause breakdowns in the joint or muscle and lead to an acute or chronic injury. The Pre-Season program has athletes perform exercises that help stabilize those areas that have been identified to be overused in each sport. Athletes go through strength and movement lessons that challenge them both physically and mentally to maximize their athletic performance. Mettler certified and professional coaches strive to add agility, durability, power, and speed to each participant's game. In addition to explosive ability and conditioning, the athlete works with Mettler skill instructors on the specific sport mechanics. Mettler offers our Pre-Season program for Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Volleyball, and Football. Membership: For anyone seeking a convenient and professional place to work out, Mettler Athletic is the ideal facility. Mettler Athletic offers corporate rates and has a wide variety of equipment and programs. Prospective members are invited to stop by and check out Mettler Athletic anytime. Please call 217-398-9800, visit mettlerathletic.com, or stop by 1809 S. Neil Street in Champaign.

Presented by 40 North | 88 West—the Champaign County arts, culture, and entertainment council—the Boneyard Arts Festival is an annual four-day event showcasing the broad range of creative activity flourishing in our community. Taking place April 16-19, the festival's goal is to bring together local artists and businesses for a special event promoting the art that lives here. More than a traditional arts walk, the Boneyard is a unique countywide celebration that takes place in a wide variety of venues (over 80 in 2008!)—both traditional (clubs, galleries, and museums) and non-traditional (ice cream shops and real estate offices)—and features the work of hundreds of artists. Sculptors, weavers, painters, photographers, and other visual artists join musicians, actors, dancers, poets, and performers of all kinds in sharing their creativity throughout Champaign, Urbana, Campustown, Mahomet, Savoy, Dewey, Rantoul, and St. Joseph. 40 North invites artists to partner with local businesses, arts organizations, nonprofits, schools, or municipal offices in hosting a performance or display of work...and join the celebration! For festival schedules and locations, check the website: www.40north.org.
