Recently, I had a conversation with a young lady who was trying to move within her company. When the opportunities seemed to dry out, she considered moving to another organization entirely. When I mentioned this to someone in the personnel department, the reply was "So? That's fine. Let her."
That seems a little…witchy to me.
Don't most talent management principles say to treat current employees a little better? Isn't it almost always preferable to grow existing employees over hiring new ones? I thought maybe since this was in a government organization, it's possible that the costs of recruitment and hiring (which are unseen and presumably not tracked) don't really bother those in the personnel system. The taxpayer might disagree, though, especially given that the government was running on fumes lately.
I would love to hear from anyone in government HR (or private sector, it would be great to have some comparisons), most especially if you have any information that might justify the response mentioned above.
Right now I'm more disappointed in people than I've been in a long, long time. At least 10 minutes or so…

Obesity could double in Minnesota if patterns hold
Anyone who thinks Minnesota has a serious obesity problem now should look ahead 20 years. A new analysis of government health data suggests that Minnesota's obesity rate could climb to a staggering 54.7 percent by 2030 if the state's current weight-related trends don't change. Simone French, an obesity prevention researcher at the University of Minnesota, hopes the report's dire projections will motivate lawmakers to take more action on reducing obesity. MPR.
Peterson: farm bill unlikely soon
Don't expect a new farm bill by the time Congress bails out of Washington next week for the fall election, Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said Friday. That won't affect the nutrition and farm programs covered by the 2012 farm bill, at least until Jan. 1, Peterson and ag experts say. Bill Craig, a University of Minnesota Extension agricultural business management educator based in Crookston, expects the current farm bill to be extended, with action on a five-year bill after the election.

National Science Foundation Partnerships for Innovation grant
U scientists have received a grant from the National Science Foundation's Partnerships for Innovation Program to develop biotechnology to clean up hydraulic fracturing (fracking) water.
Fracking, the use of hydraulic pressure to release natural gas and oil from shale, has the potential to meet energy demands with U.S. resources and stimulate the economy. However, the practice also carries possible environmental and public health risks, most notably water contamination.
A University of Minnesota research team is addressing this challenge by developing innovative biotechnology to purify fracking wastewater. Headed by Larry Wackett, a professor in the College of Biological Sciences, the team includes Alptekin Aksan, professor in the College of Science and Engineering, and Michael Sadowsky, professor in the College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences.
The effort has earned a new $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation's Partnerships for Innovation (NSF-PFI) program, which pairs academic researchers with companies to transfer academic knowledge to the private sector and produce innovative technologies that benefit the public. Wackett, Aksan and Sadowksy, as well as CBS Dean Robert Elde, are co-investigators. Elde's role is to lead interaction between the researchers and the companies. If the project is successful, the team will be eligible for additional NSF funding.
The three scientists, all members of the university's BioTechnology Institute, are using naturally-occurring bacteria embedded in porous silica materials to biodegrade contaminants in fracking wastewater, a technology they originally developed to remove agricultural pesticides from soil and water. They now have the ability to customize the technology to degrade chemicals in water used for fracking. Their goal is to make the water suitable for re-use in fracking of other wells and significantly reduce the amount of water used by industry.
Earlier this year, Wackett and his team also won a University of Minnesota Futures Grant to more broadly explore methods for mitigating the environmental impacts of fracking. For this project, they are working with a larger interdisciplinary group of co-investigators including faculty in the Humphrey Institute for Public Affairs and the School of Public Health as well as the intercollegiate BioTechnology Institute. Given to only one or two faculty teams annually, Futures Grants encourage extraordinary collaborative research deemed likely to attract substantial external funding.

Christy Haynes named one of "Brilliant 10"
University of Minnesota chemist Christy Haynes has been named one of Popular Science magazine's "Brilliant 10," an honor that recognizes an elite group of young scientists whose research is expected to dramatically impact their fields. Haynes' profile was published today on the PopSci website and is featured in the Popular Science magazine now on newsstands.
Haynes, an associate professor of chemistry in the University's College of Science and Engineering, has been working with her research group to study blood platelets. Platelets are small, irregularly shaped cell fragments that circulate in the blood and are an essential component of blood clotting. Platelets are about one-tenth the size of average cells in mammals and have proven difficult to study due their small size and their biological function to react immediately when in a foreign environment.
Haynes and her team are the only researchers in the world who have been able to measure chemicals being released by individual platelets in real time. They were the first to successfully isolate an individual platelet under a microscope, place a minuscule electrode onto it, and measure the messenger molecules released.
Understanding how platelets communicate with each other gives researchers fundamental knowledge they never had before. This could lead to new treatments for patients who have difficulty with blood clotting or developing medications to help patients avoid dangerous blood clots.
Haynes is already collaborating with renowned platelet specialists nationwide to look at platelet samples and conduct initial lab testing for possible anti-clotting medicines.
Haynes and her colleagues recently formed the Center for Analysis of Biomolecular Signalling within the University of Minnesota Department of Chemistry. The research will be focused on learning more about how cells in the body send chemical signals to each other during immune response, blood clotting, muscle firing and more.
In addition to studying platelets, Haynes has been building "an immune system on a chip," where she is isolating and studying the various way cells communicate and respond to each other. With more information about how immune cells interact, she helps to open new avenues for treating allergic reactions and asthma. For more information, see the news release.
Douglas receives CAREER award
Professor Christopher Douglas has received a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support his research into new methodologies for chemical synthesis, particularly those relating to the activation and functionalization of carbon sigma bonds adjacent to carbonyls.
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is one of the NSF's most prestigious awards. It supports junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education, and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations.
Douglas' research encompasses discovering new chemical synthesis methods involving the metal-promoted activation of carbon sigma bonds in ketones, esters, and aldehydes. A major focus will be on the insertion of unsaturated groups into the activated bonds. Mechanistic work will be undertaken to develop a deeper understanding of the new reactivity develop. The methods developed under the CAREER award will be applied to a diverse set of synthesis challenges. Applications will range from the synthesis of commodity chemical feedstocks like methyl ethyl ketone to the synthesis of complex natural products.
Douglas also will initiate two educational projects that interweave research and teaching. The first project involves discovery-based learning in a large chemistry classroom. A hybrid, guided-inquiry and traditional-lecture teaching plan for introductory organic chemistry will be piloted and tested.
The second project is an outreach program involving a local recording arts high school that serves at-risk children from predominantly underrepresented groups. Douglas and members of his research group will design and lead college visit days designed to engage students in hands-on science demonstration activities, including making their own chemiluminescent glow-stick. The high-school students will record their experiences as a part of their recording-arts curriculum with a goal of producing a pubic service announcement for their school's radio program.

Study says the lust that drives sexual harassment at the workplace is power not sex
A new Youth Development Study, authored by Amy Blackstone a sociology professor at University of Maine, along with two sociologists at the the University of Minnesota, Professor Chris Uggen and Ph.D. candidate Heather McLaughlin, belies popular belief and reveals that it's not the new vulnerable secretary or the college intern or the junior associate who are subjected to sexual harassment at the workplace, but the female supervisors who are, in reality, sexually harassed more.

Want more self-control over what you eat? Just pay attention, U study suggests
Why is it that some people dip into a bowl of M&Ms or a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream or a bag of Frito-Lay potato chips and eat just a little bit, while other people munch away until the container is empty, or close to it? Most of us would say it's because the people in the first group have more self-control, or willpower. But that may be only part of the explanation, according to new research from the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management and the study's lead author, Joseph Redden, an assistant professor of marketing.

text: State of the Union: Pandering As An Art Form by Gary Graham 25 Feb 2009 post a comment Share This: The President is a great orator. That doesn't make him a great leader. I know, I know - give him a chance. But if you were able to glimpse into the future and could glean important information, vital information that a nation's leader was actually unknowingly leading his people over a cliff; wouldn't you...want to tell someone about it? I am no genius. I'm a pretty average, normal guy...but a guy who has been paying attention. I remember the past, as it helps me extrapolate into the future and make better decisions for myself and my family. Avoid the pitfalls. Swerve around the danger. I don't doubt President Obama is a smart man, loves his family and truly wants what he considers to be the best for America. But obviously, he hasn't been paying attention. The President said today, following up on his speech before the joint session of Congress: "...because we know that business, not government, is the engine of growth in this country. It is entrepreneurship and industry that are the well-springs of an economy that has been the greatest force of progress and prosperity in human history." Huh? Did these words actually emanate from the mouth of one Barrack Obama today? One week after he signed a bill that evidences a completely opposite point of view? "Business, not government, is the engine of growth"?? Then why, may I ask, are we not letting business grow, instead of government? Wow, I'm jolted into a major communication disconnect. Whiplash neck spasms in tag team Wrestlemania, C-6 and C-7 locked in a smackdown. Calls are going out to my chiropractor and my accountant, in that order. The President's words today sound awfully familiar; don't they to you? The President almost sounded like ...Ronald Reagan for a second. Almost sounds like his statement was cut-and-pasted from a previous Reagan speech. But after last light, RR must be rolling over in his grave. And President Bush doesn't get a pass. As was pounded in last night, the Obama administration 'inherited' this deficit, this debt, this crisis. (Nevermind the whole Freddie Mac, Fanny Mae fiasco and the Democrat's mishandling that lead to the mortgage meltdown...are you listening Dodd, Frank, and Pelosi?) President Bush acted like no Conservative I've ever known when he okay'ed the TARP legislation. And by the way...where is that $700B and why did it not accomplish what it was supposed to? So here's a bent twist to syllogistic reasoning (If A equals B and B equals C, then A equals C): Now we have, If A equals B and B equals C, then O equals S, unless M doesn't do what we want it to, and we have to tap G to T the R and then ZZ equals Top. So problem solved -- Let's throw more money at the problem, smile and declare it a Success. I feel good now. The truth is often found in the simplest of answers: Socialism does not work. Scream it from the rooftops to all the dumbed down voters who didn't pay attention to world events the past 50 years. But how does Obama's Conservative words square with his recent actions? Does it sound to you like he truly believes that "business, not government, is the engine of growth in this country"? Oh, wait - I forgot to translate the statement. Sorry, my bad. I, being a formal college-indoctrinated liberal, actually speak fluent Lefty. And since you, the reader, deserve the truth, I shall now provide for you that valuable service. "...business, not government, is the engine of growth in this country." Translation: "Business is a slave of my newly re-imagined government. Yes, it is the engine, and yes I will have my hands firmly on the steering wheel, it will go when I stomp the accelerator and not before, and it will be fueled by the incredible debt I am now piling onto your future generations." And moving on to the rest: "...it is entrepreneurship and industry that are the well-springs of an economy that has been the greatest force of prosperity in human history". Translation: While all that sounds really neat and noble and all that...what I really mean to do is shackle entrepreneurship and industry with carefully tightened regulation, restriction, taxation, marching orders, and constraints, forcing business and industry to produce products nobody wants to buy but that I think we really, really need to make, in order to save the planet for the children and for working families...until innovation is frustrated, incentive is exhausted, and once and for all, the beast that is Capitalism is sucked completely dry." Any questions? I mean... What sort of flim-flam, talking-out-of-both-sides-of-his-mouth, snake-oil salesman, con artist are we dealing with here? And I thought Bill Clinton was slick! And the sums involved! Can any of us actually contemplate how much a trillion dollars is? Sure, we say, flippantly - it's a thousand billion. Big deal. But really, it's a number so big, we can't even picture it. Grains of sand on the beach, number of stars in the sky type of thing. A few hundred million we can maybe picture. But a trillion or two, or three? It ceases to hold any meaning to us. So he's able to slip that on to our tab. Megamyopia - it's so big we can't even see it. But! Tell ya what I'm gonna do...come closer little lady, that's right, step right up, here's what I'm gonna do. If you act today, I am including in your purchase of Dr. Barry's Magic Elixir Stimulus Package, an absolute free no-cost-to-you TAX REBATE! No, don't look over there behind that curtain, look here, see, it's MONEY! Free MONEY! Just don't save any of it, SPEND IT NOW, hurry, run off and spend all of your fee money! I got a headache. There it is. To lighten the sting, to lessen the blow, we get a payoff. Tax breaks for everyone earning less than $250K. And why that arbitrary cutoff? Because the number of voters earning over 250K is so small as compared to those earning less. (The Dems play the numbers game dontcha know...but we mustn't call it pandering, lest we be 'haters'.) So, even though, according to President Obama, "entrepreneurship and industry that are the well-springs" of the economy...we are going to punish achievers earning more than 250K with higher taxation. Everyone else gets a pass, in fact, "the checks are in the mail." Now...not everyone in the upper income bracket is a heartless, shiftless and arrogant, extravagance-addled, cruel and selfish jerk. (Though you wouldn't know it to listen to the class-warfare spewing mainstream media.) Many of my good friends are quite affluent. They are decent people who work hard, love their families, live life with vigor and vitality and love America. Aren't theirs 'working families' as well? Gary Sinise is a friend of mine. He earns, I'm guessing well over the $250K line. But his is a 'working family'. He loves his wife, his kids, his country. Yet, he is in the earning class that is daily maligned by public sentiment as 'rich guys'... 'wealthy, greedy bastards' who don't care about the 'little people'. So let's get even with them. The party's over, dudes...time to pony up. You wanna dance, ya gotta pay the band. Cough up, tightwad, The One told us you're not paying enough (even though your relatively small group is paying well over 50% of the taxes) so it's time to get out the checkbook. Because you 'can afford it'. And that's another thing. How do we know what someone else 'can afford'? And what business is it of ours anyway? Only the truly greedy and envious can make the claim that they know what somebody else can or cannot afford. Isn't it ironic that those who decry the rich as 'greedy' ...are they themselves the truly greedy; as it is they who covet something to which they have no rightful claim. But back to my evil and greedy rich friend Gary Sinise. Nevermind the tremendous contributions he makes towards the Arts. Nevermind the community events he volunteers to organize each month. Nevermind the exhaustive effort, time and sacrifice Gary expends selflessly year-in and year-out flying to the Middle East to entertain and uplift our troops; the men and women who lay their lives on the line daily to preserve our freedoms. But...he achieved more than the average Joe, so he must be punished. For the rest of us... Oh joy, we get money back! (Even though some will get checks who paid no taxes, maybe aren't even legal citizens, but...are prospective Democrat voters, hint hint.) "The check's are in the mail," said the President last night. Hmmm...tempt millions of people with immediate gratification, even though we are going further and further into astronomical debt. Does this sound at all familiar? As in...the very thinking that lead to our economic catastrophe? There is another phrase for attempting to mollify people from looking too closely at your actions - Hush Money. But oh we all feel good about it...because we're doing it for 'Working Families', dontcha know. This is the new feelgood buzz word, replacing the former Lefty fave, 'for the children'. If you are jamming it to the citizen taxpayer, (er, I mean asking the people for more patriotic sacrifice)...you can't do any better than to do it 'for the children and working families.' Cue music, We Are The World. Pass the Kleenex box, please. And since, sniff sniff, everything Bigger Government is doing to us is being done For the Children and Working Families, who can oppose it with impunity? What, do you want to be a child-abuser, a hater of families, a bigot, tightwad homophobe, misogynist, creepazoid from hell? Well...but I just wanted...to hang on to my business... Ha! You selfish bastard! Where's your patriotism! Give peace a chance for the change and hope we need, you asshole! Nope, we have to go along with this. And we have to feel good about it. (hey, buddy, at least use some K-Y, huh? Maybe slip on a Sinatra record first?) It is now considered patriotic to celebrate our own evisceration. Many a runaway train has been jammed into the tunnel of 'crisis'. What has emerged from the other side has rarely been desirable, or even recognizable. I am disparaged constantly for being a 'doom and gloomer'...a sour-grapes pessimist...a hater. "Give the man a chance, my god!" they scream at me. "It's only been a month! Don't you want us to succeed, don't you want America to recover??" Well...yes and no. I love America...just not the concept of America the Lefties envision. Ameroeurope holds no appeal to me. Nor does Ameranada. Or Amerexico. And Ameranistan is right out. Every time I see Mr. Obama's big charming smile I am reminded of the famous bump-and-run technique of an expert pickpocket. They casually bump into you (crisis), then quickly put hands on you asking if you're all right (caring concern), then touching you further ask if you're sure, they bumped you pretty hard (offer to make things better), then smile and quickly leave - with your watch and wallet (taxation). But, the Stimulus Package is officially enacted. It's done, it's happened. We don't get a do-over if God-forbid, this thing doesn't work. If this old hackneyed Keynesian socialist experiment in futility doesn't defy the historically consistent pattern of results that have thwarted collectivists since the beginning of time... if the arrogance of its invention is not charismatic enough to lift the mechanism of the physical universe from its hinges...and the President's plan actually works? I will tear off my clothes and dance in the street. Because everything I know will be wrong. And I will be ready for the dudes in the white coats. Please take me to my padded cell, sirs, and be quick about it. Martinis and Zoloft and please turn the TV to either The WWF or CNN, makes no difference. Reversing this rape that has begun on our nation will take ten generations to reverse - if it can be reversed at all. America as we knew it is gone. A memory. A story to tell our grandchildren. I'd love to believe in this monstrous spending plan. But even if you dressed up a turd... it would still be a turd.

You will find slick and hazardous driving conditions if you have to venture out Friday morning.
One to two inches of snow fell across the Bluegrass overnight. The snow, coupled with temperatures dropping to near single-digits in some areas, created a slippery mess. Blowing snow caused near white-out conditions at times.
Major roads in Lexington, such as New Circle Road and Man O' War are wet with areas of slush. Snow and ice cover many turn lanes and overpasses. Secondary roads remain snow and ice covered. Police reported several accidents overnight due to slick roads.
Officials in surrounding counties report similar conditions.
Be sure to give yourself a little extra time, take it slow and allow extra stopping distance.

Joseph Campbell & The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers
When Bill Moyers sat across from Joseph Campbell in the library of George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch a quarter of a century ago to begin a series of conversations that would continue over two summers, neither of them could anticipate the extraordinary impact their collaboration would produce. Campbell was the foremost interpreter of the world's great mythologies - the stories told by humans since the dawn of history to explain the mysteries of the universe - who had collaborated with Lucas on the film director's "Star Wars" trilogy. But despite his vast learning, his almost 40 years as a remarkable teacher, and the scholarly acclaim for his major works ("The Masks of God" among them), only a handful of people had ever seen or heard him in person. That changed when Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth with Bill Moyers was broadcast on PBS. It fired the imagination and intellect of millions of people and became a phenomenon.

What Your Coffee Table Book Says About You
Coffee-table books tend to have more in common with coffee tables than with books. They don't exist to be read. They exist to be noticed. They serve as a subtle way to reveal your passions to guests—and as a convenient way for them to conclude you're a dweeb. So choose wisely. Here's a survey of fall's big releases, plus psychological profiles of the men who would proudly show them off read more

this way to the petabyte SSD - 2016 to 2020 roadmaps
by Zsolt Kerekes, editor StorageSearch.com - published March 2010In which the author explains why he thinks users will replace their hard drives with SSDs in the last bastions of the datacenter (the cost sensitive utility archive) even if the cost of terabyte hard drives drops to zero...
And publishes the business plan for a new industry in the SSD market.
Now's a good time to get that coffee (and the headache pills).
This article maps my vision of the steps needed for the storage market to deliver affordable 2U rackmount SSDs with a PB capacity (1,000 TB) in the soonest possible time using evolutionary steps in chip technology but calling for a revolutionary change in storage architecture.
how does this article fit in with earlier and later SSD market model articles?
It can be read on its own - or viewed as a sequel to 2 preceding articles:-
this way to the petabyte SSD
This article previews the final chapter in the SSD vs HDD wars. The elimination of hard drives from what is currently (2010) its strongest bastion - the bulk data storage market in the data center.
That's been a cost sensitive market in which the cost per terabyte arguments (which I showed were irrelevant in 4 out of the 5 cases in the SSD market penetration model) have been very relevant in this 5th and final case. Media / capacity cost has been a protective shield to hard disk makers. This new article will show how that last remaining obstacle in the SSD domination roadmap will be removed. It will describe new user value propositions (which were not in my earlier SSD market adoption models) whereby the transition to solid state storage takes place irrespective of whether SSDs intersect with the magnetic cost per terabyte curve. It describes the market climate in which enterprise users will not find hard drives attractive or usable - even if the cost of buying a complete new HDD drops away to zero cents.
This is a much more complicated market to model than you might guess (even for an experienced SSD analyst like myself) for these reasons:-
In some ways I feel like any product manager launching any new product - nervous and hopeful that it will get a good reception. The product in this case - includes the idea of an entirely new class of SSDs.
By sharing this vision I'm throwing down the gauntlet to product managers in the SSD, hard disk, D2d and tape library markets and saying - "Look guys - you can do this. All the technology steps are incremental from where we are today... just start working on your aspect of the jigsaw puzzle. Because if you don't figure out which place you want to occupy in this new market (circa 2016) - then you will be unprepared for the market when it arrives - and won't have a business."
Because the audience for this article is technologists, product managers, senior management in storage companies and (as ever) founders of storage start ups... I'm not going to clutter up this article with things you already should know - or can easily find out - by reading any of the hundreds of other SSD related articles I've already published here in the past 11 years. Instead I'm going for a leaner style.
The 4 propositions discussed in this article are:-
|where will it
fit in the datacenter storage architecture?
In an earlier article - Why I Tire of "Tier Zero Storage" - I explained why I think that numbered storage tiers - applied to SSDs is a ridiculous idea - and I still hold to the view that SSD tiers are relativistic (to the application) rather than absolute.
But where does the Paranoid PB SSD appliance fit in?
In my view there are 3 distinct tiers in the SSD datacenter.
technical problems which need to be solved
I published my long term projections for HDD revenue in an earlier article - Storage Market Outlook 2010 to 2015.
The hard disk market doesn't have to worry about an imminent threat from bulk storage SSDs for many years.
Instead I think the concept opens the door to a fresh opportunity for companies in the storage market to re-evaluate themselves.
If they believe the PB SSD will be coming (and the details may be different to the way I have suggsted) where will their own companies fit in?
I've also started to discuss this idea with software companies too. Because the new concept open up entirely new ways of thinking about backed up data. What is it for? What can you do with it? How can you grow new business tools from content which upto now - was just out of site and out of mind?
There are many exciting challenges for the market ahead.
(And many mistakes too in the initial draft of this article - which I'll pick up and deal with later.)
Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you like it please let other people know.

France cracks down on radical Islamists
France has expelled of group of radical Islamists. It's all part of a crackdown on extremists following last month's attacks in Toulouse and Montauban. Meanwhile, it looks like many people may not even bother to vote in the presidential elections - a poll says the abstention rate in the first round could reach 32%. Finally, the auction of torture instruments that belonged to a French executioner gets the chop after complaints.

WASHINGTON, D.C……We, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., are saddened by the news of the recent shooting at Florida State University. Our prayers go out to the individuals who were injured and their families. We are also praying for the family of the person identified by law enforcement as the shooter, Myron May, a member of our organization.
Over the last several months we have taken a leadership role in the discussion centered around gun violence. We have adopted a 10 point platform, which includes an anti-gun violence initiative and a health partnership with the March of Dimes. We debuted our "Rise and Thunder" initiative for youth and young adult mentoring during the 2014 Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Conference, and will support Congressional leaders' efforts for a National Criminal Background Check System and the repeal of the "Gun Show Loophole" for firearms purchases. In addition, Phi Beta Sigma is focused on promoting healthy living. Our goal is to encourage more men to take care of their physical and mental health and to seek counseling when needed. We will continue to engage our efforts and embrace our motto of "Culture for Service, Service for Humanity."

a smart grid system for Victoria Electric Cooperative in Victoria, Texas, with completion expected by the end of 2014. The system uses Trilliant's SecureMesh technology to improve operational efficiency, provide interval data for critical peak pricing (CPP) and time-of-use (TOU) rates, and enhance outage detection.
Four companies joined the Association for Demand Response & Smart Grid (ADS). The new members are Siemens, Constellation, Landis+Gyr, and GE. ADS is a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., focusing on the development and exchange of information among policymakers, utilities, technology companies, and other stakeholders.
Metadigm Services completed a multi-year, metering enhancement project for Georgia Power . Metadigm supported the utility in upgrading 2.4 million customers, including meter installation services, meter base repairs, incoming meter quality testing, warehousing, and inventory management throughout the state of Georgia.
Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) began installing approximately 6,800 new digital electric meters at residences and businesses throughout Okmulgee, Okla., as part of its GridSmart technology demonstration project. Installation began in mid-October. PSO installed about 1,000 meters around the University of Tulsa campus in March 2012, and 14,000 meters in the city of Owasso last year.
Southern California Edison (SCE) partnered with Corix Utilities to install smart electric meters in the San Joaquin Valley as part of the Edison SmartConnect program. Most of the meters are scheduled to be installed through December 2012. SCE has installed more than 4.6 million smart meters at residences and small businesses since the SmartConnect program began in 2009, and expects installations to total nearly 5 million by the end of the year.
Itron supplied E.ON, one of the largest utility companies in Hungary, with more than 7,600 smart meters for business and residential customers across the country. The deployment began in late September and expands on E.ON's existing gas and electric meter pilot project. Its general packet radio service (GPRS) meters allow for automated monitoring and increased communication about energy usage. The meters will be installed at a random selection of E.ON's 2.5 million customers. Over the coming months and years, the Hungarian Energy Office will use the data derived from the smart meters to evaluate consumer energy use and efficiency.
EVs & Storage
Smart City San Diego and the San Diego Zoo in September 2012 began installing a solar PV canopy that charges electric vehicles (EV) in the zoo parking lot. Smart City San Diego is a collaboration that combines the resources of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), City of San Diego, GE, UC San Diego and CleanTECH San Diego to develop green and domestic energy resources. In addition to charging EVs, the canopy will store solar power for future use and provide energy to the surrounding community.
The DOE awarded funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E) to a Det Norske Veritas (DNV) project for exploring the limits of battery operations. In cooperation with partners NexTech Materials and Beckett Energy Systems, the DNV-led project will use battery life prediction modeling and sensor monitoring to identify the potential limits of battery

Public School Enrollment Begins
Friday, Aug. 5, 2005
The first day of enrollment was busy and full of questions from parents anxious to get their kids back in school.
It's hard to believe that school will start in just a couple of weeks, especially when you see elementary schools only partially completed. But the district assures it'll be ready for the first day of school.
Wichita school district spokesperson Susan Arensman says if the schools aren't done, it won't affect the start of school.
Construction and minor renovations continue while USD 259 kicks off the 2005-2006 school year enrollment.
Doors opened early Friday morning. Parents filed in to add their children's names to the class roster. They also picked up the ever-important school supply lists and uniforms.
"We just got enrolled," says parent Sue Sinik. "Now, we're going to go out and buy everything on the list."
Principal Tammy McKean of McCollum Elementary says the first day is usually the busiest day for enrollment. Parents are eager to get the task over with and they like to be the first on the list for certain services.
"People do want to make sure they have a spot in Latchkey," says McKean.
Parents are also learning about a major change, all-day kindergarten. Last year, all but nine elementary schools offered this option. Now, all elementary schools are providing it.
By the end of the month, students will say goodbye to their summer break and get back to their studies. They'll also get to see their friends.
Enrollment continues through Aug. 11. The first day of school is Aug. 23.
