Point-imaging solutions such as Symantec Ghost automate only parts of the systems deployment process. The manual work that needs to be performed as a result can negate any automation benefits. In this product comparison white paper, EMA details the many advantages of the Dell KACE K2000 Systems Deployment Appliance, which caters to the entire systems deployment lifecycle.
Compares the Dell KACE family of appliances with leading competitors Altiris, LANDesk, and Microsoft. It explains key best practices in lifecycle management, uses these as a framework for functional comparison, and includes a cost comparison to determine overall solution value.
The following report, sponsored by Dell KACE, is based on a global survey of 741 IT professionals conducted in August 2011. The goal of the survey was to gather data about the usage of employee personal devices for business and corporate policy toward their adoption in the workplace.
While Microsoft® Office 2010 delivers compelling new productivity features for corporate users, migrating from older versions can be challenging for the corporate IT teams who must deploy it. Upgrades are particularly troublesome if there are desktops in remote offices and laptops used by a mobile workforce.
The Essentials Series by industry expert Greg Shields will assist you in understanding those activities and enabling technologies that are available for planning and executing a Windows 7 migration. You'll learn seven key activities required for success, read about the free tools that are available from Microsoft, as well as see alternative approaches to enabling a more automated and integrated migration.
This Dimensional Research report is based on a survey of 1,142 IT professionals conducted in March 2009. The goal of the survey was to gather data about current plans and attitudes within corporate IT organizations for adoption of Windows 7 for desktop and laptop computers.
Kace is so far proving to be recession-proof; if anything, sales at the company seem to be picking up as the economy nosedives. That probably won't be easy to maintain, although we have long been fans of the company's business model, and the latest release is an example of how its technology continues to improve.
Application virtualization offers huge potential benefits to systems administrators faced with traditional desktop lifecycle management challenges. This Impact Brief from Analyst EMA discusses the hot application virtualization market, the KACE acquisition of Computers In Motion, and its ramifications in the world of systems management.
The 451 Group gives an analysis of KACE's recent acquisition of application virtualization company Computers In Motion.
This King Research report is based on a survey of 961 IT professionals. The goal of this report is to evaluate changes in attitude towards Windows Vista now that Service Pack 1 has been released. Findings include that the number of IT departments not planning to deploy Vista has increased and that more IT managers are switching to an alternative operating system.
The following report is based on a survey of IT professionals conducted in May 2008. Findings include that companies are not confident that deployed software is in compliance. Multiple problems with software license compliance were identified by participants including deployment of unlicensed software, lack of preparation for software audits, and inadequate effort to ensure compliance.
The 451 Group weighs in on KACE enhancements to its popular appliance-based systems management solutions as well as impressive revenue numbers.
This King Research report is based on a survey of over 900 IT professionals. Findings include that the majority of IT organizations are not planning to upgrade to Vista, and that a significant number of IT organizations have actually considered moving to non-Windows operating systems to avoid the upgrade.
Analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates profiles the recently-improved KBOX Systems Management Appliances and Systems Deployment Appliances aimed at making the appliances more attractive to the largest medium enterprises.
This King Research report is based on a survey of IT professionals conducted in February 2007. The goal of the survey was to gather data on their approach to unifying systems and security management.

My 5 year old pulled out her second tooth to get more money lost another tooth. She had been waiting all week to go to Walmart to buy a new Barbie doll. The older girls and I went shopping with friends on Saturday night and then out for a yummy dinner.
Yesterday we visited with family and were treated to another yummy dinner of cornbeef and cabbage.
And, in between all the outside playing, shopping, basketball and eating, I finished that book I got at the library last week.
It was so good! Sad, happy and hard to put down. I'd definitely recommend it.

The president of Clemson University is chastising those who booed President Barack Obama during the college's Military Appreciation Day at last weekend's game.
During the university's annual event that was held this year during the Clemson vs. Virginia Tech game on Saturday, a ceremony was held to induct ROTC cadets into the military.
The ceremony was disrupted by booing from some fans in the stands.
In an email with the subject line, "Dear Clemson Family: Focus on Positive Dialogue and a Civil Discourse," Clemson University president James Barker addressed the behavior at the football game.
He wrote: "Saturday's football game marked Clemson's annual observance of Military Appreciation Day, a time when we pay tribute to veterans, men and women currently serving and those who gave their lives to protect us. Clemson has a strong military heritage, and this day is always a special occasion.
"Unfortunately, the day was marred by bad behavior from some fans. During the ceremony inducting ROTC cadets into the military, a number of fans booed during the section of the oath they take to obey the President of the United States.
"I understand that we are in the home stretch of a heated presidential election and that freedom of speech is a right which makes our country great. Regardless of one's political leanings, however, this ceremony was a sacred moment to the recruits, their families, and many others in attendance. Many Clemson people have contacted me to express their sadness and disappointment at this public display of disrespect for the office of the President and the young people taking a solemn oath that day. I share those sentiments.
"As the election draws closer, negative campaigning is intensifying on both sides. The heated rhetoric and lack of civility we hear every day on TV, radio and in social media can be contagious. But it is possible to hold opposing viewpoints and debate issues without rancor and disrespect -- as demonstrated at a recent Strom Thurmond Institute roundtable discussion with political science Professors Bruce Ransom and Dave Woodard.
"Political campaigns seek to divide us -- to highlight differences in order to drive us into opposing camps. I believe there is far more that unites us, as Americans and members of the Clemson family. These include:
- Our core Clemson values of honesty, integrity and respect for others.
- Our respect for the military and support for our servicemen and women.
- Our respect for the Constitution they are sworn to uphold, which is clear in placing ultimate authority in our civilian Commander-in-Chief, the President.

Also: pairs on debut, players with most team-mates, and most overs bowled in a day in Tests

All South Africa's wickets in their second innings at Perth were taken by left-armers - and all by people with the same first name! How often have either of these things happened in Tests? asked Ross Cambray from the UK
Rather surprisingly, perhaps, the feat of the two Mitchells - Johnson and Starc - in taking all ten wickets in the second innings of South Africa's victory at the WACA last week was the first time two (or more) bowlers with the same first name have combined to take all ten wickets in a Test innings. I suspect you could have got long odds on "Mitchell" being the first such name! There have of course been all-ten instances by Jim (Laker) and Anil (Kumble). As for all ten wickets in an innings being taken by left-handers, this had happened on only eight previous occasions, the last one being in January 2006, when Irfan Pathan (5 for 61), Zaheer Khan (2 for 75) and RP Singh (3 for 66) took all the wickets in Pakistan's first innings in Karachi. That was the match which Pathan started by taking a hat-trick in the first over - but from 0 for 3, and later 39 for 6, Pakistan fought back to win by a whopping 341 runs! Sri Lankan left-armers (Chaminda Vaas, Sajeewa de Silva and Jayantha Silva) took all Pakistan's first-innings wickets in Colombo in April 1997, but the previous instance before that was in 1909, when it actually happened twice in the same match: in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston George Hirst took 4 for 28 and Colin Blythe 6 for 44 as Australia were skittled for 74, then in the second innings Hirst and Blythe claimed 5 for 58.
What is the oldest Test match to feature a player who is still alive? asked Bipin Mendis from Sri Lanka
That's a relatively easy one, since there is only one cricketer still alive - as I write with fingers firmly crossed - who played in a Test match before the Second World War. That is Norman Gordon, the South African fast bowler, who played throughout the 1938-39 home series against England (which ended with the famous ten-day Timeless Test in Durban). Gordon, who celebrated his 101st birthday in August, was the first Test cricketer known to have made it to three figures. There is also one survivor of the first post-war Test, in Wellington in New Zealand in March 1946 - the Australian opener Arthur Morris, who's now 90. There are currently five other nonagenarian Test cricketers: for the full list, click here.
Dean Elgar made a pair on Test debut at Perth - how many players have done this? asked Savo Ceprnich from South Africa
The unfortunate Dean Elgar was the 38th man to start his Test career with a pair of ducks: notable others to have done so include Graham Gooch, Ken Rutherford, Marvan Atapattu and Saeed Anwar. The last before Elgar to start with two zeroes was Mark Gillespie of New Zealand, in Centurion in November 2007 (he did at least have the compensation of taking five wickets in South Africa's only innings). Nine of them never played another Test: let's hope Elgar doesn't join that list. For the full list of debut pairs, click here.
Which Test player has had the most team-mates, and who has played against the most different opponents? I'm guessing Sachin Tendulkar for both... asked Rohit from India
Sachin Tendulkar has had 104 different team-mates (so far), but actually three Englishmen outdo him in this regard: Walter Hammond had 106 team-mates and Frank Woolley 111 (despite playing only 64 Tests); the record-holder is Graham Gooch, who shared a dressing room with 113 different England players during his 118-Test career, which stretched almost 20 years from 1975. When you look at opposition players, though, Tendulkar does indeed have a big lead, with 477. The only other man to have faced over 400 different opponents in Tests is Muttiah Muralitharan, with 405 (exactly 300 of whom he dismissed at least once). Tendulkar leads the way in both lists in one-day internationals, with 123 team-mates (Rahul Dravid is next with 115, and there are eight others over 100) and 743 opponents (next comes Sanath Jayasuriya with 701).
With regard to last week's question about the most runs scored in a full day of Test cricket, how many overs were bowled the day India and England combined for 588 runs? And how many overs were bowled when Don Bradman made 309 in a day in the 1930 Headingley Test? asked AR Hemant from India
I'm afraid I can't have more than an educated guess at these answers, as Wisden doesn't divulge how many overs were bowled each day, and the reports in the Times, which I have unearthed, don't give the bowling figures at the end of the day. Anyway, after India were all out for 203 in 68.1 overs on the first day at Old Trafford in 1936, England reached 173 for 2, and carried that to 571 for 8 the next day before declaring. In all, England faced 142 overs and scored (according to Wisden at an average rate of 91 runs per hour. The innings lasted six and a quarter hours, so the Indians were bowling more than 22 overs an hour! India, left about two and a quarter hours to bat, reached 190 for 0 by the end of the second day - on which a record 588 runs were scored all told, from what I should think was about 125 overs - and finished with 390 for 5 from 115 overs. As for Don Bradman at Headingley in 1930, Australia were all out about half an hour before lunch on the second day... for 566, with England having bowled 158 overs in about seven and a half hours - so on the first day, when Australia scored 458 for 3 (Bradman 309 not out of his eventual 334), they would also have faced around 125 overs.
What have there been more of in Test cricket - centuries or five-wicket hauls? asked Dhanushka Edussuriya from Sri Lanka
When I did the calculations (before the match in Kolkata, the 2066th in Test history), there had been 3583 centuries and only 2637 instances of five of more wickets in an innings (and 387 ten-wicket matches). So, as any bowler will no doubt tell you, it's more difficult to take a five-for than score a ton in a Test!

She says the DOT is prepared to move forward immediately with a $29 million project to reconstruct 11.5 miles of Interstate 86 in Seneca territory located in Cattaraugus County. The project was stalled when Seneca leaders demanded "exorbitant new fees for work within the territory" and failed to negotiate with New York State. If a resolution cannot be promptly reached, funds for this and other projects will be reprogrammed to address other important transportation needs in Western New York.
"We are here today to show that this is a priority project for the State of New York and for the Department of Transportation," Commissioner McDonald said. "DOT is prepared to immediately advance the I-86 project, which will rehabilitate and improve safety on this important highway while creating more than 450 jobs in the process. This project will benefit all residents – Seneca and non-Indian alike – as well as the motoring public. We need to get this done."
The DOT will place in escrow the standard project monitoring and other fees, totaling $1.7 million to be paid to the Seneca Nation for work on roads that cross their territory. The fees will be deducted from $400 million owed to the state and localities by the Seneca from their $4.65 billion in Casino profits.
"We are ready to proceed with I-86 repairs that will improve transportation infrastructure within the Seneca Nation," said Commissioner McDonald, "and have notified the contractor to be prepared to deploy personnel and equipment to get the job started before the close of this construction season.
"We historically have had a good working relationship with the SNI," said Commissioner McDonald. "And we look forward to continuing that relationship and working in the mutual interests of the Nation and the State."
NYSDOT expects construction will be completed in 2013.
Future transportation projects planned for the infrastructure within the SNI territory include work slated for next year to replace the bridge carrying Routes 5 and 20 over Cattaraugus Creek; the next phase of I-86 resurfacing from Salamanca (Exit 20) to Route 219 (Exit 23); and general maintenance repairs to roads and bridges as necessary.

Video: Homeowners complain about trashy neighbor
Largo, Florida - "Paper, pieces of furniture- just garbage," Don Delaney ticks off items he sees in a trash pile in his neighborhood. It's not what he likes to see when he drives down Bradford St.
"Well, it's terrible," he says. "You get people coming to see you and visit, and they turn in and the first thing they see is a landfill."
And Delaney says the pile present for the last few days is a small one. Sometimes it's much worse. "I don't know how he gets away with it," he says shaking his head.
Delaney and others who live in the neighborhood say the piles of debris have long been a problem. They've seen strangers pick through the trash looking for anything valuable, and one time, they say the pile was even set on fire.
"It's a health hazard," says Carol Fines. "They clean it up and two weeks later it's back again. It's been an ongoing thing for the last two years."
The house at the address is a rental property owned by Gary and Barbara Buffington and managed by Buffington Properties.
Complaining neighbors say the property owners' son, Tait Lundquist, hauls in junk from other rental properties and dumps it on the Bradford curb.
"He has a trailer that he pulls in the back of his truck and he pulls up and leaves it for us to look at," says Brian Stopford, who rents at the address.
While 10 News was out taking video of the trash, a man who wouldn't identify himself, started taking video of us. "We're just wondering why you're so interested?" 10 News asked.
"I saw a news van," he replied.
Later, neighbors and city officials identified that man as Tait Lundquist.
An inspector from Largo code enforcement also turned up while 10 News was at the property. He also took photographs of the trash and issued a violation.
Neighbors say they've called the city of Largo, Pinellas County and even the police about the situation without results, so that's why they contacted 10 News.
Largo Community Development Department Director Carol Stricklin says the property is a repeat offender, and has an outstanding $1,400 fine for a similar trash violation in December 2010.
"We are concerned about a neighborhood's quality of life and when we hear of a violation, our goal is compliance," says Stricklin.
And even though residents expressed frustration with the city's response, Stricklin encouraged them to keep calling in complaints.
After completing our interview with Stricklin, 10 News once again encountered Lundquist in the lobby of city hall. This time he told us he was the property manager. He denied any debris was hauled in from other properties, and he blamed the piles of trash on Tropical Storm Debby and on his tenants.
"What can you tell the neighbors who live on the street-is it going to get better?" we questioned.
"I don't see that it's bad," Lundquist replied. "I would say to talk to the tenants, the people who live on the property- they're the ones that are causing the defect."
When 10 News returned to the property, all the trash that was there had been hauled away.
Neighborhood residents can only hope it stays that way, but they say in the past, such hopes have been trashed.

Really, why don't we merge?
My fellow students, I agree with Mr. Lanbo Zhang: we're kidding ourselves. For all of the defensiveness and attacks, for all of the controversy and contention— Columbia and Barnard are one school, and we should make that the case not just in theory, but also in practice.
I think it's time Columbia became a part of Barnard College.
It's obvious that this has been coming for years now. Columbia has been going downhill. Inefficient academic bureaucracy? Drug-busted frats? Five-thousand dollar Nutella? The signs are everywhere.
I went to Hamilton earlier this week. The elevator line crowded the lobby. The walls and floors were scuffed beyond belief. The distinct lack of plastic potted plants (a serious aesthetic issue) was entirely unfortunate. When are they going to get a wrecking ball in here and just level the place, already? Maybe then they can at least add an elevator that fits more than three people at a time, in a building that plays host to hundreds each day.
As we move into the future, I can't help but wonder how Columbia can justify its continued existence alongside a school such as Barnard. Columbia is truly a university stuck in the past: a past of patriarchal bullshit, and a past where poorly-researched collegiate elitism and general misogyny can still be published in the newspaper. Meaningless rhetoric and attachment to the Columbia brand-name aside, what does the university really have going for it? Certainly not its facilities, its close relationship with the student body, or even its community spirit. Well, maybe the football team? Oh, wait…
And seriously, what difference is there between a large research university and a close-knit liberal arts school, anyway? None at all. What need is there for a co-ed institution that so poorly educates its male students so as to produce men unable to understand the need for a women's school in a world where 51% of the population has only 18% of the seats in the Senate, and just 17% in the House. In a world where a woman trying to talk about misogyny in video games ends up dealing with threats of rape, murder, and a game about punching her in the face. In a world where Heidi Klum can save the lives of her nearly-drowned son and nanny, and the only thing the media talks about is that her nipple slipped out of her swimsuit. How can Columbia believe that they are "educating" respectable men who make comments such as: "Barnard girls are either dumb, rich, or (most of the time) both." (See comments section here.)
You Columbia students will also be much happier under the Nine Ways of knowing. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to be forced to take certain classes when they could have the option of taking a variety that allows for personal interest. And it's not like classes taught by Barnard professors are any different, anyway! Particularly not in their attention to the plight of women and other disenfranchised parties, which are so oft overlooked in other educational experiences. Let's be real: Columbia's love affair with the intellectual pursuits of crusty old white cisgendered heterosexual men is quaint, at best.
I have no experience with Columbia health and counseling services, and even minimal with the ones here at Barnard, but I feel confident enough in my knowledge of both of these things to say that the services here at Barnard are vastly superior.
Honestly, this merge is completely logical. Columbia is having serious issues with educating their students in respect for differences and general decency. Their moral fibre is in shambles, and with Barnard's strong philosophy and drive to end the proliferation of misogynistic attitudes from young men who think they know what's best for other people, it's obvious what the solution is: It's high time that we cease being "Barnard College" and "Columbia University", and finally become Barnard University.
Columbia, don't be in denial. You know it's true.
Brooke Jaffe is a proud Barnard Junior majoring in English. She is an occasionally snarky writer who does, actually, have a lot of love for her awesome friends at Columbia University, even if she does get sick of the privileged non-Barnard student contingent telling her college what is 'best' for them. Her interests include sticking it to the man and writing silly satire at 2AM.
I've done it. I've finally made peace with the college application process. Yale or not, I can enjoy myself and find a great research lab and sing a cappella and dance on rooftops and meet daring, curious, incredible individuals. These things can be found everywhere; these people are everywhere. My intellect and my attitude are the sole predictors of my life's value. Not a college decision. Not some arbitrary red stamp pounded by some stranger onto some file that unsuccessfully attempts to encompass my character and my achievements in the span of five pages. It's ridiculous for me, or for anyone else, to interpret the events of the next few months as a measure of personal worth. It's easy to try to quantify a human being. That's why we love doing it so much. But every time, every single time, we will be wrong. People are not grades. People are not awards. People are not resumes. People are people. I am a person.
December 14th, you are not the apocalypse. You are the same December 14th as last year, and the year before.
Climate and Conquest: How Did Genghis Khan Rise? - Columbia University's Earth Institute
blogs.ei.columbia.eduGreat read and video of the researchers in Mongolia.
Eight hundred years ago, relatively small armies of mounted warriors suddenly exploded outward from the cold, arid high-elevation grasslands of Mongolia and reshaped world geography, culture and history in ways that still resound today. How did they do it?
Tree-ring scientists at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have worked in Mongolia since 1995. In 2010, Lamont researcher Neil Pederson and Amy Hessl of West Virginia University were seeking old trees for a study of wildfire history. High in the Khangai Mountains, north of the steppe where the long-disappeared Mongol capital of Karakorum once lay, they explored a nearly solid-rock plain of hardened lava left by a volcanic eruption some 8,000 years ago. Growing out of fissures and thin soils were thousands of gnarled, stunted larches and Siberian pines–a tree-ring scientist's treasure. Annual rings of many species reflect rainfall or temperature in predictable ways. These can be read like books; and trees in the driest, harshest sites like this are exquisitely sensitive to rain, live to extraordinary ages, and leave trunks that may stand for centuries after they die. They are truly ancient manuscripts, writ with a fine hand.
Pederson and Hessl analyzed 17 trees to chart a yearly record of rainfall back to 658 AD. They saw that from 1211-1230—the exact time of the Mongols' rise—central Mongolia saw one of its wettest periods ever. That time also was unusually warm, as shown by a
We Need Decentralized and Renewable Energy
We Need Decentralized and Renewable Energy
by Steven Cohen
Executive Director, Columbia University's Earth Institute
Huffington Post
Posted: 11/7/11 08:34 AM ET
The surprise snow storm that hit the Northeast of the United States at the end of October resulted in massive power outages and reminded us of our dependency on energy. Without plentiful, easily accessible energy we must do without heat, cooling, refrigeration and light. We also lose television, the internet and the ability to recharge our smart phones. While we can get a lot more efficient in our use of energy, our dependence on energy and use of electronic technology continues to grow. And not just here in the United States. As nations such as India and China grow their economies, they increase their use of energy as well. Unfortunately, as we discovered here after the recent storm, we are dependent on a centralized massive energy infrastructure, one that is more vulnerable to disruption than we would like to think.
Let's focus on the issue of centralized, capital-intensive production facilities. With the growth of the 21st century's globally interconnected economy, we find that large multi-national corporations are developing differently than companies did in the 20th century. They are less identified with their nation of origin, and often rely on a large number of smaller companies to provide them with essential elements of their production process. These smaller suppliers are located all over the world. This "networked" style of management has been made possible by a number of key technologies: Low-cost computing, the internet, smart phones, satellite communication, containerized shipping and bar codes. These complex production networks are still vulnerable to disruption, such as the supply shortages faced by the auto industry after this year's massive earthquake in Japan. However, they are far more resilient than the highly centralized, capital-intensive energy system we all depend on. In a global supply chain, if one supplier is unavailable, others often can be found. Electricity doesn't work that way. If your utility stops sending you power, there is no store across the street you can switch to.
In the case of the recent energy outages in the Northeast, the problem was not with the generation of energy, but with its distribution. The weather knocked out power lines and other transmission equipment. Power generators were not disrupted. In summer heat waves, however, most of the problem stems from inadequate generation of power.
In the 2011 version of the energy crisis, we face problems with both power generation and distribution. In some places, during certain times of the year, energy use puts a strain on energy generation facilities. In addition, energy generation poses risks to human health and ecological systems first when we extract fossil fuels from the earth, and again when we burn the fuel. Seeing this danger, some environmentalists have taken another look at nuclear power. Then came the nuclear disaster in Japan which reminded us of the risks of nuclear power. The probability of risk is low, but once incurred, the intensity of risk is quite high. The Gulf Oil spill, mountaintop removal for coal, and hydrofracking for natural gas are vivid examples of the environmental impact of extracting fossil fuels from the crust of the earth.
The very real dangers of climate change are a warning that we need to begin the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The trick is doing this while the worldwide consumption of energy continues to grow at a ferocious pace. The other trick is to convince companies that have billions of dollars in sunk costs in the current energy system to stop lobbying against renewable energy and start investing in it.
It is silly to think that anything short of economic or natural catastrophe can stop increased energy use across the globe. People tell me all the time that the answer to this energy and sustainability crisis is to reduce consumption. I see no signs of that happening. It is possible to shift individual consumption to less resource-consumptive and less environmentally-damaging behaviors, but an overall reduction in economic consumption is not going to happen in the United States and is certainly not going to happen in Asia and Africa. Particularly while the population is growing and people struggle to escape extreme poverty. If economic consumption shrunk it would be economically and politically destabilizing.
So what do we do? Is there a solution to this crisis of sustainability? I think there is. The heart of the issue is energy. We need to decentralize production and increase the resiliency of the energy distribution system. A massive public-private partnership is needed in the United States to develop smart-grid, distributed generation technology. We also need to work on the development of decentralized, small scale energy generation. Ultimately, each home and business should be capable of generating, storing and sharing energy. Solar, wind, geothermal, and perhaps some other technology yet to be invented must be subsidized to make them cheaper than fossil fuels. At some point, the subsidies will no longer be needed.
Communities, households and businesses must be encouraged via the tax code to become energy generators. There is of course a precedent for such a massive government intervention in the private market place. It is called home ownership. In 1940, 43.6% of all American Households owned their own homes. By 1960 that had reached 61.9%. This was made possible by making mortgage interest tax deductible and by government-backed mortgage insurance. Yes, I know that during the past two decades we made huge mistakes in housing finance and policy that led to the massive foreclosures of the last several years. That still does not mean that the basic policy of facilitating home ownership was a mistake. We need similar policy creativity to increase the percentage of people generating energy from renewable sources.
As the rest of the economy moves away from capital-intensive, highly-centralized production facilities, we need to do the same with energy. As we take that step, let's also replace our dependence on fossil fuels with renewable forms of energy. Let's increase government spending on the basic science and R & D needed to develop the breakthrough technologies needed for the transition off of fossil fuels.

Video: Oldsmar couple arrested for animal cruelty, child abuse
PHOTOS: Mug Shots: Notorious Women
OLDSMAR, Florida - A woman who shared her home with close to 300 animals, which the SPCA took away Sunday, is reacting to the incident.
Joyce Kovacs said she is glad the animals are gone. They belonged to her daughter, Jennifer, and her daughter's boyfriend, Jeffrey O'Neil, who lived with Joyce. Jennifer Kovacs and O'Neil were arrested for child abuse and animal cruelty.
"I'm kind of devastated, you know. I guess I feel bad for Jennifer and Jeff that they're sitting in jail, and yet they brought this all on themselves," said Joyce.
Animals -- including snakes, lizards, and rats -- were taken from the home along the 200 block of Lee Street after deputies with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office responded to a call there about a missing infant.
Joyce said it was the couple's daughter, who a relative had come and taken away. According to deputies, a family member came to the house, saw the child was crying, but couldn't wake O'Neil. The relative left a note, which Jennifer and O'Neil didn't see.
That's when deputies saw all the animals being held in 88 cages. They described the home as being in "deplorable conditions." Some animals were even found dead and half eaten by others. According to deputies, they were being bred and sold without the proper licensing and conditions.
The SPCA Tampa Bay was called and they hauled all the animals away.
Joyce said her daughter and O'Neil sold some of the animals at flea markets or over the Internet, but the breeding got out of control. She added it's been that way for the past year. She said she told Jennifer and O'Neil they would have to leave the house soon, just recently. Joyce said she put up with it for so long for the sake of her granddaughter, because the couple had nowhere else to go.
All of the animals are in the care of the SPCA now. According to the organization, they will try to get the owners to sign the animals over to them. If not, the group will have to file for custody.

BELLINGHAM — The Woods Coffee is planning to open its 14th coffee shop on Monday, March 18.
The new coffee shop is on Lakeway Drive, across the street from the Fred Meyer shopping center. It will have a drive-thru and a significant park-ing area. Inside, the 1,800-square-foot space will feature a salvaged wood ceiling, old barn hardware and booth seating.
Owner Wes Herman said the Lakeway site has had more interest in the community prior to opening than any other of his cafes in recent years.
"I think it's the way we've transformed the space. Others wanted to demolish the building and start over, but we saw promise in the structure," Herman said in a news release.
In addition to the Woods' coffee shop, the company plans to lease the remaining 2,200 square feet of space on the west side of the building. The new tenant for that space has not been announced.
The building has had a variety of tenants over the years, including Sambo's, Pizza Hut and Lychee Buffet.

Cougar Rally Falls Short In 4-3 Loss To UCLA
May 20, 2005 PULLMAN, Wash. -- - UCLA starting pitcher Hector Ambriz gave up two runs over eight and one-third innings to lead the Bruins past Washington State 4-3 in a Pacific-10 baseball game, Friday at Bailey-Brayton Field. Ambriz (3-6) threw 138 pitches, scattered eight hits, struck out four and walked four. With the win, UCLA improved to 14-36, 3-16 in the Pac-10. Washington State fell to 20-33, 0-19 in the conference. The Cougars trailed 4-1 entering the bottom of the ninth before rallying. With one out, Scott Suttmeier walked, ending Ambriz's night. Brian Schroeder relieved Ambriz and promptly gave up singles to Jason Freeman and Jay Miller. The latter scored Suttmeier to cut the Cougars' deficit to 4-2. Brant Rustich followed Schroeder to the mound and gave up an infield single to Brady Everett that loaded the bases. The next batter, Jim Murphy struck out on a pitch in the dirt that scooted by Bruin catcher Chris Denove allowing all three runners to advance and make the score 4-3. Rustich picked up his first save of the season when Zach McAngus's fly ball was hauled in at the wall by centerfielder Josh Roenicke. Washington State had at least one baserunner in every inning, but went 5-for-25 with men on base and stranded 11 runners. UCLA broke a 1-1 tie off WSU starter and loser Jayson Miller (2-5) with a run in the fifth. Roenicke led off with a double was sacrificed to third and scored on a fielder's choice.
The Bruins added to their lead in the seventh when Mike Metzger delivered a two-run, two-out single to plate Nolan Rouse and Will Penniall.
After the Bruins took a 1-0 lead in the first, the Cougars tied the game in the second when McAngus led off with a double, moved to third on a Jeff Miller single and scored courtesy of an Ambriz balk. The three-game Pac-10 series continues Saturday at 1 p.m.

As officers continued down Bonney Road, they saw a blown transformer and came upon the vehicle, which had crashed into a Dominion Virginia Power pole and rolled several times.
The driver was fully ejected from the vehicle and was found lying next to it. According to Moyers, live power lines came down on several vehicles in the Car Max parking lot, causing damage.
Virginia Beach dispatchers were alerted of the crash and officers from the Virginia Beach Police Department arrived on scene.
The driver was transported to a local hospital with severe injuries. Their condition is unknown at this time.
Virginia Marine Police will charge the suspect with reckless driving, running a red light and attempting to elude police. They are empowered to enforce laws by both land and sea in Virginia, Bull said.

TAIPEI: Asian superstar Jay Chou has sued a Taiwan property developer for allegedly lying to him and his mother in order to make a sale, reported Taiwan media.
Chou and his mother had earlier purchased a NT$27.5 million (S$1.1 million) condo unit in Taipei, after the property developer claimed that it will have excellent views "of the rivers and the hills".
However, when Chou's mother went up to the 21st floor of the nearly-completed condo building in March to look at the view, she discovered that their luxury condo unit faces a forested area - dotted with multiple graves.
Chou's mother wanted to pull out of the deal, pointing out that she was never told their unit faces multiple graves, but the property developer refused to return their deposit and asked her to pay a NT$4.1 million (S$100,000) penalty if she wanted to back out.
Chou recently decided to take the developer to court in a bid to recover some NT$8.

Las Vegas New Year
Tour Review
This is a really great tour! It was my first one with Contiki and I met so many amazing people and had the most enjoyable time in Las Vegas. The tour manager was also a good laugh and knew all the best things to see and night spots to hit. Las Vegas is certainly one of the cities that never sleeps. I would recommend this tour to anyone who was thinking about going away at New Year, you make so many friends. It was a shame so many of us got flu on the way home but everyone was in high spirits! My only advice is try not to plan to see everything in the short time you are there, something does and will come up! Oh and if you like to shop bring lots of money as there are more designer stores on the strip than I have ever seen!

As computer video game graphics continue to improve, they will always be easy for use by everyday computer users. To increase video cards make it easy for the rendering speed of images on the computer, and you can see 3-D content in your own four walls. Since developing the first video card from IBM in 1981, a variety of video cards that have been used by many companies, each of which created its own advantages and disadvantages over the others.
Since 2002, ATI and Nvidia have been competing for almost 90% say the graphics card market. With their lines of ATI and Nvidia, the two companies have forced other manufacturers. The Radeon and GeForce lines alone offer hundreds of cards, each model is a slight variation on the next, which the consumer can get the exact video card to fit their needs. However, in order to choose with such a wide range of video cards be intimidating to users, who have little or no idea what to look for. Below is a selection of video cards, which one starting point for consumers to continue their research, whether they are based on value is, the quality or price.
The ATI Radeon HD 5870 was recently rated among the top add-in cards for single-GPU performance. This card has a core clock speed of 850 MHz and 1 GB of GDDR5, qualities which cause him to the top front of many dual-GPU cards. The HD 5870 is great, however, and it requires two slots on the computer, but it is a high quality product at a price of about $ 400 landed.
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 is a dual-GPU card, which was released by the company in January 2009. This graphics card has 240 stream processors on each chip, and uses 2 PCBs, rather than expose themselves to ATI's footsteps into the two GPUs on one board. The GTX 295 is a high-quality video card and with all the features it offers, it is not surprising that it's not exactly cheap.
For those looking for basic or cheaper video cards, there are many possibilities. The Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS is probably not the best choice for gaming, but the performance is well suited for other applications such as watching videos, editing photos, and more. With a core clock of 450 MHz and 256 MB of RAM, the 8400 GS is a top choice among entry-level graphics cards and costs less than $ 100.
While few of these cards do not appear exactly represent the entire market, they offer some examples of products available for consumers to make comparisons. Have when selecting a graphics card, the consumer should consider what functions they fulfill the most on your computer: streaming video, games or just to edit photos. No matter what the need for a graphics card fit the individual needs of almost any consumer, if they take the initiative to find them.

More than 400 students will graduate during fall commencement.
Ceremonies will be Saturday, December 15, in the Special Events Center on the main FPU campus, 1717 S. Chestnut Ave., Fresno. Students in the traditional undergraduate, seminary and other graduate programs will graduate at 10:00 a.m., and students in the bachelor's degree completion programs will graduate at 1:30 p.m.
The speaker at both events will be Pete C. Menjares, Ph.D., president of FPU.
A new feature at FPU's commencement May 5 was recognizing those who attended 50 years ago as Golden Alumni.
All members of the Pacific College classes of 1960-1962 had their names listed in the commencement program. Golden Alumni were also invited to a luncheon in Ashley Auditorium in McDonald Hall after the morning graduation ceremony and received commemorative sashes. Pictured from left are: Carol (Becker AA '62) Friesen, Ken (AA '62) Becker, Arthur Wiebe (president from 1960-1975) and Marilyn (Enns AA '62) Pittman.
D. Merrill Ewert told the 2012 graduates what he has told every Fresno Pacific University graduating class for a decade: "Commencement is my favorite day of the year!"
What's significant about Ewert's May 5 announcement is that this favorite day was his last as a college professor, administrator and president. Ewert, who became FPU president in June 2002 after a career at Wheaton College, the University of Maryland and Cornell University, will retire July 31, 2012. Pete Menjares, a faculty member and administrator at Biola University, will be 11th president.
More than 350 graduates will receive degrees during the fall commencement Saturday, December 17.
The graduate and traditional undergraduate ceremony begins at 10:00 a.m. Bachelor's degree completion students receive their diplomas at 2:00 p.m. Both commencements will be in the Special Events Center on the main FPU campus, 1717 S. Chestnut Ave., Fresno, south of the Chestnut-Butler intersection. In all, 273 bachelor's degree completion graduates will receive diplomas, along with 44 master's students and 35 traditional undergraduates.
A new group of graduates will be part of commencement Saturday, May 7.
Those earning master's degrees through the Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary, formerly MB Biblical Seminary, will join graduates of the traditional undergraduate and master's programs. The seminary became a school of the university in February 2010 and this May marks the completion of the first full academic year since the merger. These are the first joint ceremonies.
Among the 284 new graduates December 11 were a dozen representing the first cohort of the global MBA program.
The first cohort of students began the 16-month, 41-unit program in August 2009 at the North Fresno Center. The program consists of weekly evening classes and online component. In all, three cohorts are now going in Visalia and Bakersfield as well as North Fresno.
Check out Cyndee Fontana's great Fresno Bee story on three students graduating Saturday:
