| Screencasting Recorder: Upload, Share, Publish, Embed - FreeScreencast ...
This is too good to be true! FreeScreencast is a new free web-based service that allows you to record anything taking place on your screen in a simple way. Not only. FreeScreencast takes care of uploading your recorded clip and provides you immediately with an embed code to post the screencast on your site. This is the first easy, and inexpensive screencasting tool that truly empowers online publishers to create and publish high-quality screencasts on their blog sites with the minimum effort. The only limitations of this new web-based service are the fact that for now the screen recording tool works only on PC Windows machines, the need to download a few components, and a few rough corners in the UI and management features available for now. But it is reasonable to expect that within a short time these issues will be addressed providing to this service the true popularity and attention it deserves.
Wabasha-Kellogg grad Sanders hopes to break through for NDSU
Eric Sanders doesn't plan on missing nationals this year.The 2003 Wabasha-Kellogg graduate and current senior wrestler for North Dakota State University will be one of the top seeds in the Western Regional Tournament on March 8.
Sanders, who is one of three wrestlers in Minnesota to win five high school state titles, has just one loss in the region and could be the No. 1 seed."He's one of the top two wrestlers in our region," NDSU coach Bucky Maughan said. "I think he has a good shot at winning it or getting second and having a chance at the wild card."Sanders, who wrestles at 133 pounds, is having the best season of his career this year at 21-11, including winning 10 in a row before suffering a loss last weekend. His career record is 72-51."It's my senior year, so I want to do the best I can," Sanders said.
SaaS - a CIO’s dream?
Application development and the satisfactory delivery of high quality enterprise applications are often viewed as impossible goals. The maturity of Internet technologies for application development has seen fundamental trends emerging in the application development profession to ensure that higher levels of satisfaction are delivered. This has forced enterprise application solution providers to re-think their deployment and delivery strategies and to ensure that any solution offered supports strategic business objectives. More importantly, these solution providers must offer enterprise applications that can keep up with and support the rapid changes in business objectives and operations.

Dollar Hits Third Record Low in a Week
The latest record for the euro drew a new round of criticism in Europe, particularly from trade unions worried about exports to the U.S. "An excessively expensive euro will cost European jobs, coming as it does on top of other setbacks to growth — the subprime financial crisis and credit squeeze, the U.S. recession, and the end of the construction boom in several EU countries," the European Trade Union Confederation warned. European Union businesses said they were starting to feel the pinch, too, notably from U.S.-based buyers who pay for goods from Europe. "We said when the euro was above $1.40 that we feel the pain. When the euro is above $1.50, it is alarming," said Ernest-Antoine Sillier, president of the EU employers' group BusinessEurope.
A weekend of voting - and shopping
You do not query the inequity of disenfranchising the hundreds of thousands of her supporters. A previous BBC article opined that if, by the time the convention is held, neither of the candidates has a clear majority, these delegates might well resolve any potential problem. This weekend's results were hardly unexpected and are not necessarily indicative of future voting patterns. If you saw "Sixty Minutes" on CBS, you will know that Mr Obama smiled a lot but said very little about what he would do as president, whereas Mrs Clinton was far more specific; there's none so blind as those who will not see! With regard to the Frank Rich column, a pity you did not link to Tad Devine's article in the same publication (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/10/opinion/10devine.html) in which he supports the notion of using super delegates, saying "Democratic leaders need to let the voters sort out which one of these two remarkable people will lead our party .
Cornell on the rise after clinching second Ivy title
That was never more evident than in a 72-71 victory at Harvard in mid-February. Crimson guard Jeremy Lin, a 25 percent 3-point shooter, made a 3 with 42 seconds remaining to give Harvard a 71-66 lead. Undaunted, Cornell sophomore Alex Tyler, who had committed a turnover with just over a minute remaining, made a putback, a hook that drew a goaltending call, and a layup in a 25-second span without a timeout. ''Not only do we win it in regulation, we win it with three field goals,'' Donahue said. ''The guys don't panic and throw a garbage 3 up there and get lucky. It was three executed plays. They did a terrific job of staying poised.'' That has seldom been the case. Since coach Mike Dement's 1987-88 Cornell team went 17-10 and 11-3 in the Ivy League to earn the school's second NCAA tournament bid (the 1953-54 team won the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League and the school's first NCAA berth two years before the Ivy League formed), the Big Red had just two winning seasons until going 16-12 and 9-5 in the Ivies in 2006-07 under Donahue.

What's on in the UK in 2008
Chester's renaissance as a 21st century City extends into the retail sector too. Work began in September 07 on the £280 million Northgate Development, which will change the face of the area around the Town Hall. The new scheme will regenerate 25% of the area within the ancient City Walls and create a new, purpose-built performing arts centre seating audiences of up to 1000 people, 60 new Rows-style shops, a department store for House of Fraser; a new indoor market; library and multi-storey car park. The 19th century, Gothic-style Town Hall will become a freestanding building for the first time in over 100 years. www.chesterrenaissance.co.uk Press contact for further details: Caroline Hoppe (Visit Chester & Cheshire) tel: 01244 405622/ email: c.hoppe@visitchesterandcheshire.co.uk The Grand Arcade Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Full open Spring 2008 This exciting new development will bring a 21st C.
Unity under the sea: Google invests in new undersea cable
Google announced today that it plans to join five other international companies in building an additional undersea cable between the US and Japan. The need for the cable itself is unsurprising, given that trans-Pacific bandwidth needs grew by 63.7 percent between 2002 and 2007, but the fact that Google is joining the consortium of Bharti Airtel, Global Transit, KDDI Corporation, Pacnet, and SingTel is unusual. Google is insisting, however, that this new move does not signal a change in focus for the company. According to Google Network acquisitions manager Francois Sterlin, "If you're wondering whether we're going into the undersea cable business, the answer is no," Sterlin wrote in the Official Google Blog. "We're not competing with telecom providers, but the volume of data we need to move around the world has grown to the point where in some cases we've exceeded the ability traditional players can offer." Once completed, the newly-minted "Unity" five-fiber-pair cable will be capable of carrying up to 960Gbps per pair, or 4800Gbps across the entire cable.
TurboTax, TaxCut court Mac users with new versions
Good news, tax procrastinators—since this is a leap year, you have an extra day to put off filing your 2007 taxes. The bad news, of course, is that even with 24 more hours to table your taxes, you'll still have to finish the job eventually—that April 15 deadline isn't going anywhere. With February soon giving way to March and bringing us another calendar page flip closer to the filing deadline, it's time to pick a program for preparing your tax return. Fortunately, the makers of tax-preparation products have updated their offerings to reflect this year's ever-changing tax laws and to add features aimed at making this annual chore more efficient. For Mac users, the leading providers of tax-prep software are Intuit, with its TurboTax product line, and H&R Block, which makes TaxCut.
