| IBM eyes $2 bn pharma, health services market
HYDERABAD: IBM is targeting multi-billion dollar health business opportunities in India. The company has plans to tap opportunities worth $1 billion each in the Indian pharmaceuticals and health service segments over the next 3-4 years.
"It is looking at providing a range of IT solutions for patient record management and creating a vault of information for doctors, patients, nurses and insurers as well. In India, the integration of health information and data security itself constitutes almost 50% of the business opportunity in health services," J Sairamesh, Manager of New York-based IBM TJ Watson Research told ET.
This will also mean providing integration of small clinics with larger hospitals. The company is also working on a separate track for developing markets like India where there is a lack of proper networking in the health set up.
Military planned for bigger Afghan deployment
Its a shame we have to 'modify' things, we were also going to 'modify' our old seakings for troop carriers. o and off topic the cyclone has been pushed back to 2009. It just keeps going and going. If we plan for new equipment now we might have some say 2020 the earliest, but if the Liberals get in who knows maybe dion will pull a jean and sign 0 helecopter.

The curious absence of class struggle
Chris E. from vancouver, Canada writes: The rich don't get richer through work, they get richer when everything in the economy grows.
What threatens the ultra-rich is a slow-down of growth.
To keep the pyramid scheme growing, the government admits about a quarter million immigrants per year, which simultaneously widens the wealth gap by putting downward pressure on the wages of average, working Canadians. Posted 05/01/08 at 2:16 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .

These shallow water windfarms make use of well developed simple monopole foundations driven deep into the seabed or, so called "gravity bases", concrete structures much like a flat bottom Christmas tree stand that are floated in place, submersed and filled with rock. Certainly far offshore winds in deep water are more plentiful and stronger than those nearer the coast. And the lure of such development is understandable from the potential of enormous wind energy production. However technical viability and economic practicality lay somewhere in the future. The question is how far in the future? And what must be done to get there? And must we wait? Future deepwater windfarms in over 60 feet of water or so will require much more expensive multi-leg structures or floating platforms for depths up to several hundred feet.
