Well, Microsoft just can’t seem to quit Windows XP. It is now being reported that the company has given HP an extension to continue selling the aging OS until April 10, 2010. |
The rumor’s source is fairly dubious — it comes from AppleInsider, which typically only reports on Apple rumors, and even there its accuracy rate has not been the best. In any case, it claims the information comes from a source within HP. |
If true, it would mean that Microsoft would essentially offer XP and Windows 7 side by side with at least one manufacturer for possibly as long as six months. While no firm date has been announced for Windows 7’s launch, it is expected to debut later this year. |
Support for XP officially from Microsoft will end on April 14, save for important security updates. If this rumor is true, it may be worthwhile to watch Redmond over the next week to see if they go ahead and push the support cut-off for the OS once more. |
I always thought Microsoft would end up doing this, especially with the number of netbooks still coming out preloaded with XP. |
A memorandum of understanding has been signed for the establishment of a new joint asset management and financial services company called Emerging Investment Company. The venture is the first of its kind to be set up by the private sector. |
The shareholders are the local National Investment Trust (NIT), the Hong Kong-based Regent Pacific Group and Al-Faysal Investment Bank, part of Saudi Arabia’s Dar Al-Maal Al-Islami Trust (DMI). NIT is taking a 50 per cent stake in the new company, which will have an authorised capital of Rs 200 million ($6.5 million). ... |
Emerging Investment Company plans to launch an Rs 500 million ($16.3 million) closed-end fund in early 1995; it will also float open-end investment vehicles in the future. The government-owned NIT has been the only open- ended mutual fund to operate locally until now. ‘Backed by a strong equity culture and high corpora... |
Anytime Fitness will open in a 7,500 square-foot space in the plaza on Easton Street NE. The space is currently under constuction and should be open by next month. |
PLAIN TWP. The newest resident in Oakwood Square is ready to get you in shape. |
Anytime Fitness will open in a 7,500 square-foot space in the plaza on Easton Street NE. The space is currently under construction and should be open by next month. |
"We're excited to be coming to Plain Township," said owner Heather Williams. |
Oakwood Square made sense for a new fitness center. Plain Township is a big market but lacks a downtown area, and residents now travel to the Belden Village or Washington Square areas to shop, she said. |
"I grew up in North Canton. I've seen that plaza with nothing in there. I think what they're doing there is great," she said. |
The fitness center will be stocked with equipment and offers classes including yoga and boot camps, training and virtual training. It also offers a 3D body scanner, tanning and hydro-massage. |
The facility will be open 24 hours. It offers a "care, coach, connect" approach to fitness, with personalized training designed to help clients develop a plan to reach their goals, she said. |
Membership at Plain's Anytime Fitness includes access to the company's 4,600 facilities nationwide. |
For membership information, see facebook.com/AnytimeNorthCanton or call 330-915-3105. |
The fitness center is the newest tenant in a plaza that once vexed residents and township administration. |
Oakwood Square spent more than 15 years slipping into disrepair as store fronts remained empty or saw a rotating cast of tenants. |
The 13.4-acre plaza has been revitalized in recent years. |
Discount Drug Mart opened in the 30,000 square-foot anchor spot last year. It was joined by other new tenants, including Mercy Medical Center and Mexican restaurant Tlaquepaque. Other existing tenants, including the Bistro of Oakwood, Toddy B.'s and Gioninos have undergone external makeovers. |
Howard County Public Schools Superintendent Renee Foose introduces the ARL Financial Center stock ticker on Friday, March 20, 2014. |
Students in the Academy of Finance at Howard County's Applications and Research Laboratory now have the entire financial world before them. |
The academy unveiled a new data center at the Ellicott City school Friday — one that includes a New York Stock Exchange ticker, giving the students live, up-to-the-minute information about the markets they're studying. |
"The opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange is one of the most exciting sounds in the American landscape," Superintendent Renee Foose said. "This is a wonderful, wonderful thing." |
The unveiling of the ticker, part of a new data center in the academy, "embodies our strategic plan," Foose said. |
"This is a curriculum that provides engaging, relevant learning experiences both beyond and in the classroom," she said. "It helps students develop essential skills such as innovation, problem-solving and critical thinking. It allows students to have real-world opportunities. That's what this is doing. I couldn't be mo... |
The data center, particularly the stock ticker, will give students "real-time information and feedback on economic trends," said Board of Education Chairwoman Ellen Giles. |
"They'll have hands-on practice in investing and portfolio management," she said. "I can't think of a more relevant way to get students to connect what they learn in class to matters in the real world." |
The students in the academy learn more than "how to invest wisely and track market investment," Giles said. |
"A powerful combination of advanced-level instruction, industry exposure, interaction with field professionals and practical applications give students a head-start to success in college and a rewarding career," she said. |
The academy's partnerships are vital to that goal, Giles said. While the data center was provided by the Howard County Public School System, other initiatives are through partnerships and funding from groups like the Bright Minds Foundation, which provided a grant for financial literacy classes in county middle schools... |
"The strengths of the Academy of Finance lie in partnerships with the business community," said Maddy Halbach, academy instructor. "These partnerships bring exciting experiences and opportunities for our students to apply their new-learned skills." |
Many of those business partners were on hand for the stock ticker's ribbon-cutting last week, as academy senior Grant Toeneboehn rang the "opening bell." |
"The financial center has brought to realization how volatile the markets can be, and how exciting it is to participate in it," he said. |
For example, Toeneboehn said, when Federal Reserve System Chairwoman Janet Yellen recently announced changes to the federal bond-buying program, students were able to see instantly the impact the decision had on the market. |
"Understanding the complexities of our markets has become even more important for our youth, as we strive to make better financial decisions and compete in an ever-increasing global society," Halbach said. "A financial center for the Academy of Finance not only compliments what we are diligently trying to teach, but al... |
ARL Principal Andrew Cockley said the stock ticker and data center will give students real-time access to data around the world. |
"They'll be able to access that information, analyze it and watch the impact it has on the markets in real time," he said. "It's going to really enrich the discussions." |
Desmond Morrison, a senior at Reservoir High School in Fulton and second-year academy student, said the new stock ticker "will help us out a lot when it comes to looking at and analyzing economic data." |
"I'm really excited about it," he said. "I've always been interested in finance my whole life. I'm very good at math, and I like applying math so I can help people out. Finance was a natural fit for me." |
Alicia Kong, a financial adviser with ING and chair of the academy's advisory board, said the board was excited by the new data center, and hopes more students take advantage of what the academy has to offer. |
"I know how technology and the stock market are integral to learning in real-time and understanding how what goes on in the world changes the stock market," she said. "We are elated and excited for this, for the current and future students to come and be a part of this." |
The Ravens have two more days of minicamp this week, but guard Marshal Yanda won’t be taking part in the practices. |
That was the word from coach John Harbaugh on Tuesday. Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports that Yanda underwent shoulder surgery and Harbaugh said that the team is targeting training camp for Yanda’s return to full activity, although he left open the possibility that it might not happen on the first day of camp. |
Injuries have been a constant in Yanda’s side during his career, although they haven’t stopped him from playing at a high level. Yanda dealt with the shoulder injury last season as well as an ankle issue and wound up missing two regular season games. Yanda still played well enough to earn a Pro Bowl nod that he turned ... |
Repeating as SB champs is simply an incredibly hard thing to do. |
This guy is easily one of the 5 toughest men in the NFL. Probably the best guard as well. This is a guy you really don’t worry about when it comes to being ready. |
Yanda and KO…best guards in the NFL KO started every game last year as a Rookie. What some great third round picks. |
Unless they did MRIs for camp, why do so many guys wait until OTAs/etc to have surgery? Wouldn’t you want to get that taken care of asap? |

J.J. Abrams is developing 'Glare,' an HBO drama about the colonization of another planet. |
J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions is developing Glare, an HBO space drama about the colonization of another planet. Javier Gullón will write the script and executive produce the hour-long series with Abrams and Bad Robot’s Ben Stephenson, according to the Hollywood Reporter. |
Glare marks Bad Robot’s second production for HBO, following the acclaimed sci-fi/thriller Westworld, which was recently renewed for a second season airing in 2018. The Star Wars: A Force Awakens director previously earned TV credits for Showtime music-drama Roadies, Hulu drama 11.22.63, CBS sci-fi drama Person of Inte... |
In 2016, Abrams produced two films: Star Trek Beyond and 10 Cloverfield Lane, a pseudo-sequel to 2008 found footage horror film Cloverfield. He’s currently producing God Particle, the third title in the Cloverfield franchise, and Star Wars: Episode VIII, both of which come out in 2017. |
From a new ‘Star Wars’ spinoff to video-game movies, here’s what you need to see in December. Watch here. |
LYNN — Union drivers who provide services for The RIDE, an option for people whose disability prevents them from using other public transit, are threatening to go on strike if a "fair" contract can't be reached with Greater Lynn Senior Services on Wednesday. |
Greater Lynn Senior Services (GLSS) is one of three vendors contracted by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) that provides drivers for The RIDE, which transports many seniors and others with disabilities to essential services such as grocery stores and doctors' offices. |
But according to the union that represents GLSS, International Brotherhood of Teamsters 42 (IBT42), their drivers are the lowest paid of the three vendors. |
Drivers for GLSS often start at minimum wage, which increased from $11 to $12 an hour this month, while the drivers for the other two vendors, Veterans Transportation and National Express, are hired at $14.50 to $15.50, according to Ryan Eaton, IBT42 secretary treasurer and business agent. |
The reason for the pay discrepancy, Eaton said, is unions negotiate contracts with their individual vendors for the RIDE, rather than with the MBTA. |
"We're looking for a fair deal for our guys and girls," Eaton said. "They deserve to be paid equal (to the other vendors). They deserve to have their safety guaranteed and we think they deserve to have their financial future secured. They provide such an invaluable service to the community. We feel they should be treat... |
In addition to higher wages, Eaton said the union, which represents approximately 270 GLSS drivers, is looking for a pension plan and safety improvements for drivers. |
Currently, if a driver were to report a safety concern with a vehicle, GLSS has the right to tell the driver to take it out on the road. This makes the driver liable, or at fault, if an accident were to occur. The union is looking to make sure there's accountability on the company's part if any safety issues occur, acc... |
A GLSS RIDE driver who asked to remain anonymous said he wanted fair treatment as far as getting the same wages as other vendors, and was concerned that he could face disciplinary action if he chooses not to use an unsafe vehicle after being told to take it on the road by the company. |
Paul Crowley, GLSS CEO, said in a statement GLSS is currently in negotiations with Teamsters Local 42 around a new collective bargaining agreement. He said the current contract is in effect until midnight on Jan. 31. |
"We have had multiple and productive bargaining sessions and have another one (on Wednesday)," Crowley said. "GLSS drivers help seniors and people with disabilities to remain mobile and in the community. They work tirelessly for the people we serve. They have been and continue to be the lifeblood of our organization. T... |
"We have presented a very generous package to the union leadership to bring back to its members. Out of fairness to the drivers, we will not talk specifics of the negotiations in the press." |
Contract negotiations have been underway since October. Eaton said union membership unanimously rejected an unofficial offer from GLSS over the weekend and membership voted to go on strike. |
If the union and GLSS can't come to an agreement during Wednesday's session, membership would take another vote. If the union votes again to strike, the walk-out would tentatively begin on Friday. |
"Our hope is by the end of the day (Wednesday), we'll have a contract," Eaton said. "We don't want our members on the street. We want them making money, but we want them with a fair contract as well." |
A 39-year-old man suffered injuries yesterday when he was struck by a car driven by a woman who Boone County deputies say was under the influence of intoxicants. |
At 2:20 a.m., deputies responded to Silver Fork Hill Road for a report of an individual struck by a vehicle. The deputies found a male victim who had been involved in an argument with 38-year-old Dawn Lowrey. During the argument, authorities said, Lowrey tried to leave in a vehicle and as she was backing out of the dri... |
Lowrey was arrested on suspicion of two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and one count of leaving the scene of an accident. |
Deputies say the second assault charge and endangering the welfare of a child charges are related to �several children� being present during the incident. One child was treated for minor injuries and released. |
Lowrey posted a $14,500 bond and was released from the Boone County Jail. |
