| Startup plans floating data centres
A STARTUP is planning to build floating data centres on knackered cargo ships. San Francisco Bay Area company International Data Security (IDS) envisions it will have up to 50 decommissioned container ships housing data server farms, moored in various ports around the world including 22 in North American cities. IDS believes using cargo ships will give it flexibility and enable expansion limited only by the availability of ships and port space instead of real estate constraints. Its first location will be available at Pier 50 in San Francisco starting in April and it already has, ahem, anchor tenants signed, a source close to the company said. Shipboard cargo spaces will be built out as data center floors and deck space will be used to stack modular data centers in standard shipping containers.

1824 'shack' matures
In southern Anne Arundel County, Route 2 meanders toward Solomons Island, winding through miles of farmland and a smattering of houses.
In 1967, Georgina and Richard Fries were looking for an alternative to the Baltimore-Washington suburbs after a job transfer brought the family south from New Jersey.
"We bought a shack and 2 acres for $29,000," said Richard Fries.

8 students treated for pain-pill use
What about the rest of society, can't they find the same inner piece in thier search? Why one people are allowed, another denied? Complex is an understatement. Glad these kids survived, but look at mankind in the broader picture. I'll lisen to suggestions, see more draconian laws, maybe we do the China solution, but you will have yet to find the answer in mankinds affinity for eutopia. .
Tesoro, Seawater AC, Hoku Scientific and Wall Street
Tesoro, owner of the larger of Hawaii's two refineries, says gasoline price margins have shrunk so it will make less gasoline. Tesoro says its Kapolei refinery will be dialed back to as little as 74% capacity. Here's an alternative to oil for downtown office buildings. Honolulu Seawater Air Conditioning has lined up more than 10 million dollars in equity financing. U.S. and Swedish investors are chipping in for a zero emissions seawater air conditioning plant. Downtown building owners could save a fifth of their air conditioning costs by using seawater instead of a system-based on freon. Hoku Scientific has installed two solar power systems on neighbor islands. Its newest turnkey photovoltaic systems are at the Lihue and Kona operations of Paradise Beverages. The company uses a lot of power to refrigerate its warehouses, since it's the Hawaii distributor of Coors, Corona, Miller and Heineken.
