[HPCwire: High Performance Computing in Research & Academia] HPCwire: Researchers Connect Users to Grid Resources: Grid computing harnesses the processing and storage power of many different computers to analyse and store huge amounts of data. But just as grid-connected computers -- often numbering in the thousands -- are usually geographically dispersed and heterogeneous, with different processing speeds and operating systems, different grids and networks typically bear little likeness to one another.

About 70,000 harp seals were hunted this year out of a commercial quota of 273,000 animals, said Fisheries and Oceans Canada spokesman Scott Cantin.

[Official Second Life Blog] The Greening of Second Life - Technology - Second Life Blogs: As a RL principal in an Architecture firm on the East Coast, that's good to see.  We design some 'green' (sustainable design is the better term) buildings ranging from office buildings to corporate headquarters, hotels to condominiums - only to see some really un-green practices by the occupying tenants or facility owners.  Not all the time, but, not uncommon either.  Many have the impression that only new facilities can be green.  However, the US Green Building Council and their LEED program for construction actually has a LEED Existing Building category.  Those that take a hard look at it realize that it can be used as a guide to upgrading and replacing aged systems in a way that makes economic sense, not just to be green.  The pilot facility that achieved the first LEED Existing Building certification was National Geographic Society's headquarters in Washington, DC which consists of 3 buildings.  1 turn of the century building, 1 1970s building, and 1 completed in 1983 (which I worked on during its original design).  Facility management can greatly benefit from using the LEED guidelines to target upgrades and replacement strategies, everything from recycling to mechanical systems, or roofing.

[Frank Sommers' Weblog] What Virtualization Means to Developers: Just as few enterprises today would pay their developers to code up an app server, a transaction processing monitor, or an HTTP server, in the future, few enterprise developers might be tasked to write an inventory management system, a data mining application, blogging software, or insurance claims management code. Instead, developers might increasingly participate in open-source communities centered around implementations of standardized application interfaces, and enterprises would benefit from using the resulting high-quality software, which they could deploy in a virtualized fashion.
