The Acres Homes Community will launch its new neighborhood website on September 12, 2007. TLC² has provided technical and web hosting support during the construction of the community portal. City, civic and UH leaders will be present at the event.

This two-day workshop provides attendees with a working knowledge of how to design and deploy a GMPLS-based dynamic circuit services network. The workshop will provide an overview of GMPLS architecture, RSVP and OSPF protocols, control plane design concepts, and specifics of dynamic circuit services network engineering as relates to campus, regional, and national network facilities in the R&E community.

School-aged children will get a fun treat when they get hands-on experience using NEAT-o-GAMES, the latest research in computer games that promote physical activity. The Smartphone based game was developed by Ioannis Pavlidis, Eckhard Pfeiffer Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Computational Physiology Lab. All-N-One organized the children’s tour of UH to spark their interest in science and technology. TLC², in cooperation with the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the American Chemical Society student chapter, will conduct three demonstrations at the UH campus to engage at-risk youth involved in the All-N-One program in the science and technology fields.

FLUKA is a fully integrated particle physics MonteCarlo simulation package. It has many applications in high energy experimental physics and engineering, shielding, detector and telescope design, cosmic ray studies, dosimetry, medical physics and radio-biology. Workshop held to teach participants how to efficiently use this package. 34 attendees

TLC² sponsored the Joel Burton Plone BootCamp. Participants learned the essentials to build a Plone site and deploy it. 38 attendees

UH Visual Studies program to host a conference with guest speakers that include John Wood, John Stauffer, Sally Gall, and Cig Harvey.

TLC² welcomed Sally Mann, named "America's Best Photographer" by Time magazine, to the University of Houston where she will spoke at a public lecture organized by the UH Visual Studies initiative. It was co-sponsored with the Chancellor's Office, American Cultures Program, Texas Learning and Computation Center, Tenneco Lecture Series, Houston Independent School District, and Region 4 Educational Service Center. 350 attendees

The Single Particle Reconstruction and Visualization Workshop organized by Wah Chiu, PhD and Steve Ludtke, PhD, Baylor College of Medicine, covered the details of the EMAN software package that is used for reconstructing 3d models from a set of randomly oriented particle images. The workshop was held in the multimedia interactive classroom at the Texas Learning and Computation Center. Background lectures on general reconstruction principles were presented, but the majority of the workshop consisted of hands-on sessions designed to familiarize the attendees with the EMAN software. The EMAN software, known for its ease of use, is provided free of charge as a service to the scientific community. 70 attendees

France – USA Conference on Applied and Numerical PDEs in honor of Dr. Glowinski’s 70th birthday sponsored by TLC², Department of Mathematics, College of Technology, and College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. 55 attendees
