| Passageways concludes year of innovation, acquisitions
Passageways, a company in Purdue Research Park, is preparing to close the books on a very productive year. The 4-year-old West Lafayette-based firm provides solutions
that enhance internal communications for the financial services industry. This fall it added 66 new clients through the acquisition of the Instant Intranet Builder product from Engineered Business Solutions in Houston. Since then, the company has launched new products and been selected to streamline internal communications and data management for additional financial institutions. Passageways introduced its Knowledge Management and Learning Management applications in
mid-November at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. "The launch of these two customizable products adds further information management capabilities to the Passageways portal," said co-founder and Vice President Christopher Beltran.
IT'S A CHORE: But farmers have to fill out forms or possibly face ...
Last year, Tom Dancer farmed approximately 500 acres, all but a few rented, in Freehold, Manalapan and Millstone townships, growing field corn, soybeans, rye straw and wheat.
That quick profile of Dancer, a 49-year-old lifelong farmer who lives in Millstone, is the kind of information the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeks in its five-year census of farmers in the 50 states and Puerto Rico.
The census is important in drawing up farming legislation, determining how federal agriculture money is distributed and positioning farming support services, according to state Secretary of Agriculture Charles M. Kuperus and Troy Joshua, director of New Jersey farming statistics for the USDA.

Hardware Intel Responds to EU Charges With Demands of Its Own
Intel insists its innocence as it responds to antitrust allegations from the European Union Intel revels in the glory of being the CPU industry leader, at least for the time being.

Further, as with any company that is dominating the market, allegations of antitrust violations become a serious threat to the company worldwide. AMD said Intel's anti-competitive practices established a monopoly in the microprocessor market. AMD then sued Intel in U.S. courts in June of 2005. The company since mounted a long-standing legal battle that included ads in major newspapers and the a website chastising Intel who it portrays as sinister and monopolistic. AMD received an ally in the form of the European Union. In July 2007, it announced that based on evidence collected in a multi year investigation, including materials found in a June 2005 raid of European Intel offices, it was filing charges against Intel for engaging in anticompetitive practices.

Of cousre Oilberta never sucked the teet of the U.S. where most of the provinces oil goes. When Ontario was carrying the country and oil was about 20 bucks the Oilbertans were whining then. Here it is 2008 and they can't stop. Don't worry as the economy of the country slows and the price of oil drops we'll still hear the whining of the oilbertans.
