Tower School in Marblehead Massachussetts launched a great new website today
In the spirit of the schools Earth Day celebration, it features some of the environmental projects that Tower students and teachers have been working on recently. Among other things, the Tower School Environmental Committee is hosting a blog presenting current composting statistics, and public service announcements from Grade 4 - They will be adding content to this site on a regular basis, and hope that you return often. Over time Tower hopes other schools will contribute to this project, making the conversation more global
The Treedia team received some great news last night at a reception by Northbridge Venture Partners at the ICA. We were selected as one of the AlwaysOn Northeast 100 for 2008.
Congrats to the team for kicking ass and taking names!!
The first-annual Northeast 100 list was compiled by the AlwaysOn editorial panel. In order to be eligible for the list, companies in the Northeastern United States had to be creating new business opportunities in high-growth markets, demonstrating significant market traction and pursuing game-changing technology in a key sector. AlwaysOn received hundreds of nominations for this year’s list.
“For the first annual elite Northeast 100 list we surveyed more than 500 venture investors, investment bankers, and technology insiders, who nominated hundreds of companies to determine the Northeast 100 winners,” said Tony Perkins, Founder and Editor, AlwaysOn Network. “Each of the Northeast 100 winners had to demonstrate leadership among their peers in the following areas: innovation, market opportunity, commercialization, media buzz, and stakeholder value creation. We congratulate them all on this great honor!”
We are right in the thick of this - normalizing - optimizing - mobilizing - localizing - globalizing - monetizing the V.I.T.A.L RSS/OPML media (video/image/text/audio/link) for personal consumption via an open platform - the web of data - 3.0 - pretty cool.
Hard to believe this happened. As an avid flyfisherman I’m shocked. The link is here.
“A 20-year government effort to restore the population of an endangered native trout in Colorado has made little progress because biologists have been stocking some of the waterways with the wrong fish, a new study says. Advances in genetic testing helped biologist discover the error, which was called a potential black eye, but they said there is still hope for restoring the greenback cutthroat trout.
The three-year study, led by University of Colorado researchers and published online in Molecular Ecology on Aug. 28, said that five of the nine populations believed to be descendants of the endangered trout were actually the more common Colorado River cutthroat trout, which look similar.
The study said the results imply that the effort has “failed to improve the species’ status.”
Really……no kidding?
