Aruba Networks, the Mobile Edge Company, today announced that Group Lapeyre, a leading manufacturer and distributor of home improvement products in Europe, and a subsidiary of Group Saint Gobain, is expanding its deployment of Aruba's Mobile Edge architecture. While Group Lapeyre has had Aruba's mobility solutions deployed at its headquarters since 2004, the company is now extending this network to the Group's industrial sites, including several factories, warehouses and shipping docks. "As far as we're concerned, Aruba's solutions guarantee the best performance on the market today, incorporating simplified and centralized deployment and management as well as highly evolved security functions such as a stateful firewalls, encryption, authentication and IDS/IPS to meet with even the most rigorous demands," said Patrick Goubin, Group Lapeyre's networks and telecoms manager.
Alfred State College has received approval to offer an associate degree program in heavy equipment operation at the Applied Technology Campus in Wellsville, NY, to begin accepting students in Fall 2006. The two-year program will teach students to operate heavy equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, wheel loaders, and excavators used in the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, airports, gas and oil pipelines, tunnels, buildings and other structures; in surface mining and quarrying activities; and in material handling work, and will be based upon the modular format that has been successful on the campus for 40 years. Stressing hands-on education, much of the laboratory work will be based upon the learning-by-doing philosophy which allows students to work on live projects.
Some City Council members don't expect voters to uphold their decision to annex nearly 3 square miles southwest of the city. That could have serious, long-term planning consequences for Fort Collins, especially as city executives eye several more enclave annexations on key "gateways" to the city. .

The sound of cinder blocks hitting the dirt is music to Roslyn Robinson's ears. The Johnson City woman spent her entire life dreaming of the day she'd own her own home. It was a struggle, but her dream is now her reality. "This is awesome," Robinson said. "This is more than I could ever want or hope for." Robinson sheds tears of joy as crews deliver and assemble her new three-bedroom home. She originally bought a home through Mountain Villa Homes, formerly of Kingsport, more than a year ago, but she says the company took her money and ran. She claimed despite buying a modular home from Mountain Villa more than a year ago and paying a monthly mortgage on it, the company never delivered her home. Robinson brought her concerns to us. Just months after we aired her story, Mountain Villa settled.
ASHLAND -- Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center Superintendent Mike McDaniel said the school is "truly into something that is really, really big" with a new bioscience program that will start in the 2007-08 school year. McDaniel outlined the program for the board at its meeting Thursday. He said the scope of the program will prepare students for jobs in the areas of bioresearch, biomedicine and bio-agriculture, which include a growing list of at least 18 career activities. Possible career paths for bioscience students include geneticist, biologist, molecular chemist, research technician, health and safety specialist, biotech lab technician and product development engineer. Calling the program "tech prep on steroids," McDaniel said first year students will be involved with a tech prep type curriculum with core coursework and practical experience that will include work at Samaritan Regional Health Systems, WIL Research or Ashland University.
