| ResNet moves to Burge Union
Think of it as the trek of the tech: student technology services move into the Burge Union. ResNet, which provides Internet service for student housing, moved to the Burge from McCollum Hall over winter break. Last Monday, an information technology desk opened. The technology services moved to the Burge Union this semester in hopes that the Burge's location near the Anschutz sports complex will make the services more accessible for students. Next fall, students will see a Pulse coffee shop, new furniture and 10 to 15 high-end-computer workstations, in addition to the help desk. The workstations will feature software for photo and video editing. A large screen plasma or LCD TV will be added to a conference room. Students also will be able to check out laptops, digital cameras and digital camcorders.

Trucking's owner-operators on a tough road to survival
It hurts," he said. “I'm a man who's trying to make a living for my family and I'm not succeeding."Trucking's owner-operators, the self-employed drivers who haul everything from Hummers to hay, are suffering. Many say they're running on the edge of bankruptcy, about to disappear unless they get help. While a wave of trucking failures now might be invisible to consumers, when the economy rebounds, it would push up shipping rates, helping increase prices.The housing downturn and decreased consumer spending have cut into loads; the extra trucking capacity is pushing down freight rates. Diesel prices, which are always higher in the winter, have hit such highs that Truckinginfo.com runs ads for thief-stopping fuel-tank locks.“If you can run all week without a flat tire, you're a little bit ahead, otherwise, you're basically just running to put the money right back into the fuel tank," said trucker Benjamin Stanley, 40, of Spotsylvania, Va.
R. Queisser: Does "Faulty Planning" by Pentagon Surprise Anyone ...
Jane Stillwater: Does prayer really work? "No." (2 comments) At the rate I've been wearing my knees out, if prayer really worked, we'd have PEACE in the world right now. But maybe peace will come through the back door -- because America simply can't afford "war" any more. And maybe my appeal to the Pentagon to reinstate my embed will come through. And maybe Desperate Housewives will get back on the air and...maybe in 2008 we won't just elect "More of the Same". Not a prayer.

January 2008
The Joint Strike Fighter isn't a done deal, and the leadership at the Pentagon seems dead set against buying anymore F-22s beyond the four they just ordered to keep the production line open past 2011. If Boeing can put something together that would offer a real leap beyond JSF--it isn't so far fetched that they could divide and conquer.

Michael Peltier: Crist calls for fitness challenge
Look for it on your local public television channel, though it may find its way to commercial stations. Historically, the governor has given the request during a joint session of the Legislature convened Tuesday morning. In breaking with tradition, Crist is doing it when working folks can actually see it. That's if they choose to do so. Contact Michael Peltier at mpeltier1234@comcast.net. .
