Even at record low, startups are still making a positive impact. Andy Dean Photography/Shutterstock.com
Entrepreneurs: Grayer Than You'd Think
The United States' startup rate in 2010 reached the lowest it has ever been since records started being kept in 1976, according to a Census Bureau report that was partially paid for by the Kauffman Foundation and published today. But in spite of the record low, startups still made an overall positive impact on job creation.
The startup rate, which is taken as a percentage of startups compared to overall businesses, was down from its peak of 13 percent in 1987 to below 8 percent in 2010. Private-sector firms created a net number of negative 1.8 million jobs between March of 2009 and March of 2010. However, of the 394,000 companies that began in 2010, 2.3 million jobs were created, meaning the 4.1 million differential came from businesses that existed prior to 2010, based on numbers reported by the Kauffman Foundation.
"Without the new jobs created by business startups, the Great Recession would have been even deeper, with many more jobs lost," said Robert E. Litan, vice president of research and policy at the Kauffman Foundation. "Unfortunately, new-firm formation has waned since the 1980s, and the recession accelerated the decline."
With fewer than 35 percent of all firms being 5 years old or younger, down from 50 percent in the early 1980s, Litan is using the study to call for increased support from policymakers, educators, and other entrepreneur support organizations to help entrepreneurs "commercialize their technologies." Which is kind of always a good idea.
But considering that startups did, in fact, contribute 2.3 million jobs in spite of overall losses, it's not a bad idea to give a bit of credit where credit is due: to the entrepreneurs themselves. To be clear, it's not a rosy picture painted by the study, but it's certainly no harbinger of economic doom either.

Great laptop.12/3/2010
I've had it for about four months now and it's still amazing. I use it for gaming and design. It definitely has the power to run anything on max. I'm using this as a desktop replacement and don't really lug it around too much. Too heavy for that. Still, the portability with power is nice should you need it but the battery really only lasts like an hour or two if you turn everything down.
Great laptop, low cost.10/4/2010
I am a freelance interactive developer. Whenever I need to shop for a new machine I like to get laptops considering that I usually end up at one of my local coffee shops to do work for my clients. This Asus laptop handles any of my work tasks effortlessly. I am surprised that it is slightly lighter in weight than my previous gaming laptop (Gateway FX series). I am highly recommending this laptop to anybody that works in the interactive design business or is a hardcore gamer looking for a solid machine that can have all of the visual game options cranked up and still provide great performance. I would not recommend this laptop if you are somebody looking to use it unplugged for longer periods of time. It has a short window of time while unplugged (1-2.5 hours depending on applications running).1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

The Los Angeles Lakers were already going to be without Dwight Howard Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Now, they'll be without Metta World Peace, who will be serving a one-game suspension for Malice in the Palace II. On Sunday, the b(r)a(w)ller formerly known as Ron Artest got tied up with Brandon Knight and proceeded to grab the Pistons guard by the neck and pop him in the jaw (watch the video above). A classy move, especially in the place where he once started a riot. Expect more minutes for Pau Gasol and Earl Clark -- and for Kobe Bryant to pick up the scoring slack.

Aces' volleyball training regimen tougher
Volleyball team likes net results
EVANSVILLE - They lifted enough weights to prepare for a season of football, they ran enough stairs to make a soccer coach proud and they sprinted enough to qualify for the track team.
They, however, are a bunch of volleyball players.
What was most certainly a busy offseason for the Evansville Aces included some time on the court — and so much more.
"The stuff we were doing wasn't always easy," senior middle hitter Rachel Robinson said. "I mean, we did heavy lifting circuits, we ran 400s, and ran the stairs at the soccer stadium. and what not, but we just tried to take care of our bodies a lot better.
"We're a lot faster, we have a lot more endurance and it made preseason a lot easier."
Coach Mike Swan hopes that commitment will pay off; UE's regular season opens with a Friday match against Memphis in the first of three tournaments on the road to start the year. And that was the motivation for the summer of work all along — put in the effort to make the conditioning count once the games start to count.
After this weekend's Memphis tournament, the Aces will play in the Bearcat Invitational in Cincinnati on Sept. 4 and 5, and the Raider Challenge in Dayton on Sept. 11 and 12 before opening against Tennessee-Martin at home on Sept. 14.
Evansville will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last year's 0-4 start, which ultimately cost it a chance at a .500 record as it finished 14-18.
"This weekend is key," Swan said. "Last season we were always playing catch up ... and fighting to get back to the top.
"I think definitely all of us would be disappointed if we didn't have a winning record this season."
So instead of crossing their fingers and hoping for a turnaround, the Aces did something about it. Helping the strength and conditioning effort five times a week was UE strength coach Joe Hermes. Swan also credits Robinson and the upperclassmen for taking the lead.
It's something Swan has increasingly emphasized over the past few years.
"We've implied, or really strongly suggested that this is a full-time commitment year-round," he said. "To the players' and their families credit, they've been willing to do that and it's a huge step for the program."
Now the Aces hope the next step is a winning record for the first time since going 19-15 in 2000, even if that meant foregoing some of summer's typical downtime for a regimen more usually associated with a football, soccer or track team.
"It's one of those things where it is kind of worth the sacrifice," Robinson said. "I think we can all really tell it's had an impact, and because of that it makes things really exciting."

"the many lives of a behemoth oil company"
An investigation into a giant oil company and the people who run it and how it manages
its public profile and its engagement in places where there is little or no rule of law.
The book does not give answers but it does pose lots of questions.
"Even handed, well researched, and well done."
I had some trepidation about getting this book as it is about that big boogeyman of oil Exxon-Mobil. Nor was I familiar with Coll's writing or journalism either, so that was not something that I could lean on to support a purchase. This book was purchased more or less on whim and a fancy of wanting to know more about oil, energy, and energy policy. I was concerned that this book would be too narrowly focused on Exxon-Mobil and not really inclusive of the industry or energy policy as a whole. I was relieved to find that this was not the case. It is a good primer for both energy policy and the oil industry. The book was illuminating and well done. And by the end I had a respect for Exxon-Mobil that I would have NEVER, EVER thought possible.
"Oil is here to stay - learn about it"
Oil is a very dirty business. The stuff is dirty when it comes out of the ground. Exxon's business locations are dirty and out of the way. Sure, every business has its dirty little secrets, but the oil industry affects all of us. A rather long book does not seem so long because the industry is very complicated. Two-sided arguments throughout show that morality can trump business and sometimes business trumps morality.
"Untold history"
I really enjoyed listening to this perspective of the oil conglomerates. I found the parts about foreign policies and how they effected countries particularly informative. It was a bit on the long side for listening and I really had to space it out. Dry at times, but very educational.
Artist who wants to go to space
"You Probably Don't Know About Exxon"
For everyone who likes to rail against the most profitable company in the world, Get Informed! Love 'em or Hate 'em this Exxon-Mobile is here to stay, and not only stay, but define our world of energy. This is a spectacular read, full of historical and geographical anecdotes that illuminate the dark icky world of oil.

Can't get good quality using HD576p in CRT TV
I'm trying to connect my HTPC through component to a TV. My hardware:
- NVIDIA GeForce 6150 (ASUS onboard)
- Debian etch
- CRT TV Samsung CW29Z408T 29"
- Xorg 7.1
- Nvidia driver 1.0-9746
I'm in Spain (PAL-G) and the TV supports component and progressive signal. Currently, I have image in the TV, but it's not very good. I get the highest quality image when using "TVStandard" "HD576p". I set modes entry in xorg.conf to "720x576". But i have a problem.
There is overscan. It's like the image is zoomed in. Image it's centered, but I can't see the task bar. Why this happens? It's the xserver creating a desktop higher than 720x576? Or the xorg it's really creating a desktop of 720x576 and the problem it's showing it?
Lot of thanks.
Re: Can't get good quality using HD576p in CRT TV
Have you tried to adjust the TV Overscan in nvidia-settings ?
Re: Can't get good quality using HD576p in CRT TV
2 Attachment(s)
Yes, I tried TVOverScan options, but it didn't works.
I've been working on it, and i have more info. When I use progressive signal, the dot matrix of the xserver looks quite good. When in use interlaced signal, dot matrix looks worst. That's the reason I think that the best mode (at least for me) is with progressive.
The problem with progressive it's that I can use only two modes: 640x480 and 720x576. With 640x480 I see the complete desktop. If I use 720x576, I get the problem of my first post: desktop looks like "zoomed in". When I set 800x600, I only get a black screen. But my TV receives the signal and says that is 720x576p, but I only see a black screen.
With interlaced mode, i can use 800x600 and 1024x768, but image it's not so clear.
I have attached the xorg log with verbose mode. HD576p with 800x600 should work, isn't it? My graphic card it's built onboard, so i share ram memory. Progressive signal needs more memory than interlaced? I'm afraid I don't know very much about video output.
Why I get the black screen? It's a bug? Anyone have any idea? All answers are well received, I'm a bit desperate :)
Thans again
PD: I also include my xorg.conf
Re: Can't get good quality using HD576p in CRT TV
Are you stating that adjusting TV-overscan in nvidia-settings didn't have any impact, or just wasn't sufficient to resolve this?
Additionally, please generate and attach an nvidia-bug-report.log.

Excuse me for the delay, but I couldn't work on my computer till today.
The TV-overscan in nvidia-settings works (it appears in the setttings dialog and I can use it) when I'm in interlaced mode. If I use progressive signal (putting a resolution of 720x576, image zoomed) and execute nvidia settings, the overscan does'nt appear in the dialog, so it doesn't work.
I'm not sure if this is really, really, really true, but when I look to the zoomed image an interlaced mode, the Overscan is set to 25 (max value), and the level of "zoom" is quite similar to the zoom with progressive signal. Maybe the Overscan is working at its max level with progressive and I can't change it.
I also attach the nvida-report
Re: Can't get good quality using HD576p in CRT TV
Have not found a solution yet. Anyone knows about a bug with progressive signal NVIDIA GeForce 6150 and 800x600 resolution?

Kawasaki KLE500 vs. BMW F650GS?

I think they are both good bikes for the task. I've only ridden the GS650 but I did own a GPZ500 for a while and the engine is awesome (shared with the KLE albeit in a higher state of tune in the GPZ). Gas mileage and comfort is likely to be slightly better on the BMW and you can tailor it with a greater selection of OEM & after market farkles.
One definate advantage that the BMW will have is the quality of finish. I'm not saying the BMW is more robust than a Triumph/Honda/Harley etc. but every Kawasaki I have owned has had a distinctly delicate feel to the finish. The exception to this is the engine paint which is likely to be better on the KLE.
I delivered my mate's GS650 to him in Ireland early this year (in snow). Went 2-up, cruised easily at 85mph and was well impressed. Owners of earlier model KLEs have also praised their bikes so it's worth getting a test ride if you can.

Last week, we passed along the news about Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress having his drivers license suspended, and today we get news that he will have his home in Virginia Beach, Virginia home auctioned off as well. Mike Garafolo of USA Today reports on Monday that Judge H. Thomas Padrick Jr. has ordered the auction of Burress' home to satisfy liens against the property due to a judgment resulting from the 2008 traffic accident in Florida that we mentioned last week. Burress reportedly owes $159,000 to a Florida woman who claims the veteran wide receiver rear-ended her Read more [...]

National Portrait Gallery to Display NAVAL OFFICERS OF WORLD WAR I for the First Time In 50 Years, 5/10
An impressive, recently conserved portrait of First World War Naval Officers will go on display at the National Portrait Gallery for the first time since the 1960s, it was announced today (Thursday 8 May 2014). Through a successful public appeal in 2013, £20,000 was raised for essential conservation work on the large-scale painting, allowing it to go on rare public display thisSaturday 10 May 2014 as part of the Gallery's programme commemorating the First World War centenary.
Measuring over five metres in length, Sir Arthur Stockdale Cope's grand group portrait Naval Officers of World War I (1921) is set in the Admiralty Boardroom, Whitehall, and comprises twenty-two portraits of the navy's most senior figures. It has been in storage for over fifty years due to its delicate condition which had made it unfit for public display.
Following the success of the public fundraising appeal to restore the portrait, conservation work has taken place on the painting, and its huge original frame, over a five-month period. Such is its size, a narrow entrance had to be created in the wall of the National Portrait Gallery's framing studio to allow the enormous frame to be passed into the studio in four separate parts. The vast canvas has been carefully rolled into a cylinder so that it can be transported into the Gallery before being stretched and assembled onsite.
The careful removal of discoloured varnish and surface dirt that had built up on the canvas over many years has transformed the painting's appearance, revealing once more the tones in colour and subtle details that were previously masked from view. After being painstakingly cleaned, parts of the frame were re-built in areas, and its gilded surface has been restored using historically faithful techniques and materials.
Shortly after the First World War, the leading financier and public servant Sir Abraham Bailey decided to commission three group portraits to commemorate the role of the army, the navy and the politicians in bringing the war to a close. Sir James Guthrie's Statesmen of World War I and John Singer Sargent's General Officers of World War I are on continuous display in Room 30 where they form the centrepiece of the Gallery's Great War holdings.In contrast, the Naval Officers of World War I has not been seen for several decades.

Dakota Fanning Is a Homecoming Queen
Dakota Fanning isn't just a 'New Moon' queen -- now she's a homecoming queen. Everything is coming up roses (and sashes) for the 15-year-old actress, as she was honored by her fellow Campbell Hall Episcopal High School classmates over the weekend. Fanning, sporting a cheerleaders outfit and tiara while walking arm-in-arm with a football player, was all smiles while winning the prize. More Pics After the Jump!
Fanning puts her fame and busy schedule aside each week to show some school spirit, as she cheers for the Vikings football team whenever she can.
The teen actress is set to propel her career even higher into the Hollywood stratosphere this November, as she stars in the sure-to-be-massive 'Twilight' sequel, 'New Moon.'
Director Chris Weitz said recently told MTV that Fanning's Jane character is "bad news," adding that the acclaimed actress has "never really gotten to play a bad person before, probably because she is a very good person. She is really a lovely young person. But I think she had some fun playing, really, the most evil of all the bad guys."

How refreshing that such a talented young actress has her feet firmly planted on the ground and is able to lead as "normal" a life as possible. She will have an unbelievable future if she keeps on this track. This is a person young girls should be looking up to. Keep her in the news and get Lindsay out of it!

At least at my school, and every other school I had ever heard of, only seniors were even allowed to be nominated. What is this?
- Monday 02 NovemberBy Robyn29
I was just thinking the same thing. A Senior girl is always Queen. Is she a Senior already????
- Monday 02 NovemberBy Whitney
Who cares? That's not the case at all schools. And it looks like the sash just says "Homecoming Court," not queen. It's quite common for schools to have homecoming courts made up of underclassmen. But even if that's not the case, does it all really matter? I couldn't tell you who my homecoming and prom royalty were when I was in highschool. Or college for that matter. And I was on homecoming court my senior year of college. It's not a big deal.
- Monday 02 NovemberBy whoopie
Hey WHAT get over it. She's popular amongst her peers. Maybe their school has different rules. You are probably still upset you werent' popular enough to be chosen. You don't know the scoop as to why she is beloved. You sound jealous. and the rest of your supporters do as well. Lead your own lives, donate to homeless shelters, volunteer at animal shelters, spend time with terminal abandoned babies, and then cry.

Dakota Fanning is such a talented young woman; it's great to see that she is getting as close as she can to a normal high school experience. I do think the 'Twilight' movies are below her level of talent, though.

does she really need to be homecoming queen? some other girl could have had a moment in the spotlight at that school.
- Monday 02 NovemberBy Rodney
WOW!! Sound's like we have a few "sore losers" that were not voted onto the court here. What you are missing here is the fact that the court and the Queen are voted on by their classmates. Who are we to tell them who should be Queen. Obviously Dakota is who they wanted and who they got. So quit staring down the Queen from your high school in the supermarket everytime you see her(20 years later) and let Dakota have her childhood. She is a member of the school and deserves to be treated like everyone else there with the same opportunities.

What makes Fanning any less deserving than anyone else? From what I can see a cheerleader is the homecomming queen. Pretty common if ya ask me.
Good for her. Have fun!

Way to go hunny..I was never on the Homecoming Queen or even on the court but I saw so many girls who where..They where super happy and excited think my lucky stars young girls can look-up to you..You stepped out of the spot light to finish school that's so wonderful when you could have gone for your GED or just dropped out..I'm super happy for you and what a big beautiful smile you have looked like you where so happy and on top of the world..Also to be courted by a such a handsome football player to top off you go girl..Hope you had the time of your life..Your only young once so take It all In and don't grow up too fast..!

All the schools I've been involved with had Homecoming COURTS...grade school, jr & sr high and just this past Saturday, college. The senior IS NOT always chosen - it's based on who gets the MOST VOTES by the student body. In most schools, the team picks a girl from each class and then the entire student body votes. We had wrestling, basketball, football, etc. queens.

In 'Papa's' footsteps
Writer chronicles his long pursuit of his 'best friend,' Ernest Hemingway
After mailing a piece he wrote about Ernest to Mary Hemingway, he never dreamed he'd get a response, but he did.
"A letter appeared in my mailbox," Nuffer said. "I was stunned, just stunned. Celebrities don't ever reply to anything."
That letter was the beginning of a five-year correspondence between Mary Hemingway and Nuffer.
In 1989 in Sun Valley, Nuffer met Tillie Arnold at a cocktail party before a Hemingway convention. He came to her rescue with her favorite drink – bourbon on the rocks – as she was being grilled rabidly by other guests clamoring to get the inside scoop on their idol.
"People who knew him are constantly besieged with questions such as 'What is he like?'" Nuffer said. "I never asked for anything. I never wanted anything.
"I never prevailed upon anybody. I just played it really straight, and we became friends."
In the years following, Nuffer and Arnold remained close, with Nuffer and his wife, Mary, visiting Arnold in her homes in Idaho, Arizona and La Habra Heights.
Few are as well-equipped to write about Hemingway as Nuffer, who would never describe his avocation as an obsession but rather "Hemania." In the book's preface, Nuffer immediately adds "... although I don't consider myself manic."
But why Hemingway?
"First, he was the best writer of fiction in the last century," Nuffer said. "He always said, 'You don't write books from the standpoint of the left politically, you write books that are good or bad.'
"He was also very objective, tremendously objective. You admire that about him, too."
Secondly, Nuffer said, Hemingway knew full well the frailties of man. His heavy drinking and the ensuing years of ill health after surviving two light plane crashes contributed to that.
"He had a feel for almost every human condition," Nuffer said.
Nuffer, the founder of one of San Diego's oldest public relations firm, Nuffer, Smith, Tucker Inc., read Hemingway in high school and college, and "Death in the Afternoon" sparked a lifelong interest in bullfighting. But it wasn't until 1971, when Nuffer was 39, that he went looking for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" at the library near his Ocean Beach home. It was one of the few Hemingway books he hadn't yet read.
The conversion was complete.
With his wife, Nuffer began traveling to places where Hemingway lived and worked. To date, his pilgrimages have taken him to more than 160 Hemingway-related sites in Canada, Cuba, Europe and the United States, including 15 homes or apartments, and the rooms where he was born and died.
He has quaffed Hemingway's beverage of choice, a daiquiri (called a Papa Dobles by the reverent), at Hemingway's favorite bars in Cuba and Paris. He once sneaked into a back room at an antique shop in Canada so he could type on a typewriter Hemingway used when he was a reporter at the Toronto Star.
He has also collected quite a trove. Among the more than 250 books on his shelves (including practically every academic and biographical text ever written about the man), there are first editions of most of Hemingway's books, a brick from the backyard of Hemingway's home in Key West, Fla., and all 26 issues of Ken, a late '30s leftist magazine that carried articles by Hemingway about the Spanish Civil War.

Somewhere Danny Ferry might just be saying I told him not to do that. But whether he is or not, Dan Gilbert did do just that by going "all in" on Tom Izzo and it appears he came up snake-eyes. So what's a risk-taking NBA owner to do now you ask? Well, I can't imagine he knows, but I have a guess. No more guessing on Izzo though for now, it won't be him to replace Mike Brown next season. Per the Detroit Free Press Tuesday evening:
"The weeklong saga of Tom Izzo and the Cleveland Cavaliers ended with the Michigan State coach announcing he would stay in East Lansing and pass on an opportunity to coach in the NBA. In a statement released by the school Izzo said: 'I'm pleased to say I am here for life at Michigan State.'"

good value for tablet.10/6/2012
Very nice tablet, does everything expected. Ice Cream Sandwich works very well. Very smooth UI, very impressed with how well videos work especially YouTube and flash content. cannot be more pleased for $200.
Acer Iconia TAB A2009/24/2012
I think this was great, so I ordered this on Labor day (which was a Monday) the package came on Thursday, I thought it came very fast, so I was pretty happy about it, that I didnt wait too long. The tablet is great, I thought I got a very good price for it, and it is my first refurbished purchase. It has Amazon app store, so I was able to download free games into it. Also, the website from acer has good games with good graphics too but they are larger on memory. Overall this tablet is great.
Great Android Tab9/13/2012
This is the 3rd Acer tab I have purchased. My 2 grandsons are using the other 2, and couldn't be happier. I think they'll be a little jealous when I show them this new one. Worked no problem straight out of the box. IMHO, this Acer tab is as good as the I-Pad. Maybe a little less flashy, but certainly worth the price.
good tablet for the cost9/12/2012
I have an A500 and love it. So when this one went on sale, I bought it for my wife. Even though she hadn't used any android products before, she had no problems getting going with it. So far, I have been really happy with its quality and would recommend it.
Refurb but no issues so far9/11/2012
Only had it a few weeks but so far so good. You always wonder about a refurb but everything works and looks new. Well worth the (approx) $205 price. My first tablet so nothing to compare it to. Buying add-ons now-screen protector, case, ext speakers.
great tablet for the price9/9/2012
The price sealed the deal for me on my first android tablet. It's a different animal than my ipad but very good for the price.
Meets My Needs6/28/2012
This tablet is perfect for my needs. Not too difficult to use and such a nice size.
Acer A2006/11/2012
I would have given the A200 5 stars across the board, but the camera is so poor that I would rather use my cell phone. When using the camera with SKYPE, the person to whom I am connected comments about the poor quality of the picture and that the mic doesn't seem to have much dynamic range. Otherwise, the tablet is fast, the screen displays a crisp image, NETFLIX runs without dropouts.
Acer tablet6/6/2012
This is my first tablet. So far I am happy with the purchase.
Ease of use5/30/2012
I like the size and user friendly directions for using this Tablet. There are more applications than I thought would be included with this product.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Great refurb product5/28/2012
Purchased this as a refurb item and could not be happier with the results. Still working on learning the ins and outs of the tablet, but so far I am satisfied with my purchase, particularly for the value!
Great refurb Andriod tablet for a resonable price5/28/2012
I have had this refurb Acer Iconia A200 for 4 days now and have had no problem with it so far. I believe refurb product are a better value because they should go through a thorough test to ensure problem-free before reselling the products (for a lot less $). The product looks new and works fine. The tablet seems well constructed with high-quality material. Since it is my first Android OS product so I definitely have to learn how to get around....it's not too bad after all...great tablet!
Enjoyed the product, was just add described, came very quickly, thanks1 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful

Azureus makes X Server crash
1 Attachment(s)
I updated to Fedora 14 (big mistake, a lot of things that used to work don't anymore) and now I can't use azureus anymore because it makes the X server crash (backtrace goes into the nvidia kernel module). The Linux desktop did come to a state where it is almost unusable anymore. Getting much slower every release and sound support is getting worse and now even the GUI stops working. :(
Re: Azureus makes X Server crash
I am running Fedora 14 with Azureus just fine. Are you using the latest RPMFusion release of the nvidia driver, aka 260.x? If so, it is most likely your problem. I stuck with 256.53.
Re: Azureus makes X Server crash
1 Attachment(s)
I am seeing this as well with 260.19.12 from RPMFusion. Xorg crashes shortly after Azureus starts.

French expertise in aerospace highlighted at tech forum
Expert speakers from EADS Astrium, Thales Alenia Space and Arianespace addressing the 4th Annual Advanced Technology Forum in Abu Dhabi today, provided enthralling insights on the contribution of space technology in human development while highlighting advances made by the French aerospace industry over the last few decades.
The forum organised by the French Business Group, was inaugurated by HE Alain Azouaou, French Ambassador to the UAE and is the latest in the series of events comprising the Saison Francaise (French Season) that emphasise the growing areas of cooperation between the UAE and France.
Presentations at the forum which took place at the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies (ECSSR) included an in-depth look at the world of space craft, launch services for satellites, and high resolution satellite mapping. Speakers also presented an overview of the French space industry and its leadership status in the European and worldwide space landscape.
"Space technologies play an important role in everyday life and satellites have endless applications in telecommunications, agriculture, environmental protection, border security and infrastructure developments, among other areas, and this forum is aimed at reminding us what the space industry can offer," said HE Azouaou.
He also stated that the forum was a call to action for Emirati students, who represented the new generation of scientists, and would provide them with exposure to the space industry and its opportunities noting that French companies were already involved in several ongoing UAE government projects including Yahsat and civilian and military communications.
"Revenues of France's space industry reached a record breaking 3.9 billion euros in 2008 of which the civilian sector contributed 88% of the total," said HE Azouaou stating an average of 15% of annual revenues was being spent by the space industry, on research and development. The French Season is organized by the French Embassy and the French Business Group, and the premium sponsors are the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation (ADMAF), Al Masaood Automobiles and Caisse des Depots

Scroll Down For Each Team's Bowl
Richard Cirminiello
Cowboy Bowl Moment:
One of the great offensive displays in postseason history, Oklahoma
State ambushed Wyoming 62-14 in the 1988 Holiday Bowl. The Cowboys
cranked out 698 yards and 34 first downs behind Heisman winner Barry
Sanders' 222 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, and a near-
perfect passing performance from current head coach Mike Gundy.
Best Duck Bowl Moment: There have been Rose Bowls, a Cotton
Bowl and a slew of minor bowls in Oregon's history, all of which
paled in comparison to the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. Joey Harrington threw
four touchdown passes, Steve Smith picked off three passes, and the
No. 2 Ducks put a bow on the most successful season in school
history by pummeling No. 3 Colorado 38-16.
The Last Time You'll See ...
Oklahoma State: TE Brandon Pettigrew. Looking back at how
Pettigrew has developed in five years, it's hard to imagine how he
got out of Texas without being scooped up by the 'Horns or the
Sooners. Primarily a blocker in high blocker, he's blossomed into a
6-6, 255-pound downfield threat, who could wind up being the first
tight end selected in next spring's NFL Draft.
Oregon: DE Nick Reed. While Reed might be a try-hard guy who
doesn't fit the NFL prototype at defensive end, he sure has been
productive for the Ducks the last two seasons. A relentless pass
rusher with a non-stop motor, he's been named All-Pac-10 first team
in back-to-back years, amassing a whopping 42 tackles for loss, 25
sacks, and countless pressures over that time.
Breakout Player ...
Oklahoma State: WR Damian Davis. In 2007, Dez Bryant showed
signs of his massive upside before erupting this year. Although
Davis doesn't have as high of a ceiling, he's done the same thing
this fall, getting his feet wet with 16 catches for 348 yards and
two scores. He still needs to fill out his 6-5, 185-pound frame, but
with his roommate getting so much attention on the other side, he
stands to be the chief beneficiary.
Oregon: LB Spencer Paysinger. Paysinger has sort of gotten lost
on a defense with more recognizable names. That's too bad because
he's really delivered as a sophomore, making 86 tackles, and nine
tackles for loss, while doing a nice job in pass defense. He's got
good range, tackles well in the open field, and is, pound-for-pound,
one of the strongest players on the defense.
Best Non-Game Event
For fans during bowl week of the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, the
bowl game parade is a huge hit. It's the largest balloon parade in
the country with even more giant inflatables than the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade. Kermit the Frog is grand marshal this year.
The event is even nationally televised now on USA Network. For
players, the highlight is the Navy & Marine Corps Luncheon. It's
held on board an active Navy ship and players have the opportunity
to dine with sailors and Marines, and tour the ship. It's always a
smash with the players.
Player Gift Package
Players from both schools will receive a Tourneau watch, a
hooded sweatshirt from Sports Tek, an Insignia 19" HD TV/DVD Player,
and a Best Buy gift certificate
Charitable Component
The Holiday Bowl works with several charities each year. One example
this December involves the staging of a food drive with the San
Diego Food Bank at the game.
How Success is Measured
There are many benchmarks by which the bowl committee measures
success. First, it aims to provide a considerable economic impact
on the San Diego region. The more fans that travel to San Diego for
each game the better. Second, it wants to see large crowds at each
game. Third, it expects those fans to enjoy not only the game, but
the entire experience, including pregame and halftime shows, and
non-game entertainment. And finally, it's important to the committee
that the student-athletes have enjoyable bowl week experiences that
will provide them memories to last a lifetime. The Holiday Bowl
staff puts a lot of energy into providing them with a first-class
San Diego bowl week.
MVP of the Bowl
There are so many people that play invaluable roles in the
production of the game, it's impossible to choose a single person.
The Holiday Bowl is fortunate to have a dedicated and loyal
volunteer corps. It has 30 active board members, 120 committee
members, and several hundred other volunteers. It's because of these
selfless people that the bowl is so highly regarded throughout
college football. The committee believes it has the hardest working
corps of volunteers among the postseason games.
Impact to the Community
The mission of the bowl game is to generate tourism, exposure,
economic benefit, and civic pride for San Diego and its citizens by
presenting the nation's most entertaining bowl games and festivals
of events. The impact the game has on the San Diego community is
considerable. Last year, for example, the games—the Holiday and
Poinsettia Bowls—generated an economic benefit of more than $40
million. San Diegans are enthusiastic with the games. The local
ticket base for the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl alone is approximately
35,000. Our renewal rate annually is in the neighborhood of 95%.
Role of Volunteers
There are only nine individuals who are paid to put on two games
in San Diego, the Poinsettia and Holiday Bowl. They rely heavily on
volunteers to make these games and festivities function on a
year-round basis. They produce, sell, and market their calendar of
events, such as outrigger canoe races, 3-on-3 basketball tournament,
golf tournament, weiner dog races, hole-in-one tournament, and more.
They truly will play a role in every function associated with the
