By: admin

From The Washington Post

A California solar energy company that was unable to meet a deadline for an Energy Department loan guarantee last year has sought bankruptcy protection in Delaware.

Solar Trust of America’s Chapter 11 filing on Monday listed assets between $1 million and $10 million, and liabilities between $50 million and $100 million.

Why did you bury this story so deep no one could find it?

SOPA’s author is none other than the internet-challenged Rep Lamar Smith from Texas.

It’s the same Lamar Smith whose own website was guilty of copyright violations.

After he was accused of violating the same rules that he wants to enforce on me and you, he removed the background of his website, but he still managed to “pirate” other images.

Oh, and if you wondered who was  his top campaign donor…. the film/entertainment industry.

That’s right, he is  serving the people…THE PEOPLE…

Wink-wink.

What is going on in Japan is terrible.

What the government officials and the TEPCO corporation is doing to their fellow citizens is shameful and in my opinion many times worst in comparison with what was done in Chernobyl!

About 05-10 years from now Japan will have the most cancerous deaths , most still births and deformed babies in the world!

I think the government and TEPCO are doing it, mostly because of their sense of national pride, which tells them that neither of them can fail and must reach their goal at any cost, but at the end of the day they should ask themselves –  how many lives should they sacrifice to cover up their failure?

Is the entire country’s population enough?

What about the human civilization?

Russian Space Telescope Lifts Off, Will Be Biggest Telescope Ever

By: admin
Published: July 24th, 2011

From PopSci

 

RadioAstron Flight Model Astro Space Center, Russian Academy of Science

A new Russian space telescope that will work in concert with radio telescopes on the ground launched earlier today, capping an effort that germinated during the Cold War. It will be the biggest telescope ever, with an effective antenna size spanning 30 times the diameter of the Earth.

The RadioAstron telescope has a 10-meter antenna, a tenth of the size of the biggest radio telescopes on Earth, but when combined with ground-based observatories it will be huge — with a resolution up to 10,000 times better than the Hubble Space Telescope.

Manufacturers Are Looking for Software Engineers. At Last A Good News!

By: admin
Published: May 2nd, 2011

That is one good news out there…

US companies are trying to hire people with skills beyond the skills required by McDonalds

Lets hope the politicians will not kill the spark that can restart our economy with higher taxes and over regulations

From Dice
BY LESLIE STEVENS-HUFFMAN

American manufacturers are enjoying a resurgence. Last month, they expanded at the fastest pace in nearly seven years. More importantly, over 80 percent of companies can’t find the technology help they need, and the shortage will only get worse as baby boomers retire.

According to a survey conducted by KPMG,nearly 41 percent of U.S. manufacturers plan to increase hiring in 2011. That could mean 230,000 new jobs before the end of the year.

We’re not talking about people to man the assembly line or follow orders here. Companies need professionals with technical skills to build and operate automated manufacturing systems. Hot jobs include mechanical and electrical engineers and those who can read and write machine programming code, design mechanical systems and troubleshoot problems. Since the industry is actively recruiting, you may be able to telecommute or relocate to a manufacturing town that features a lower cost of living.
