  BC Gov't >> /departments/airport/projects.php
The project consisted of constructing 7,033 square yards of new apron, 4,667 square yards of pavement overlay on existing apron, and complete reconstruction of 5,333 square yards of existing apron, bringing the total apron area to 17,033 square yards.
The plan is basically a strategic plan for staged development of the airport based on current inventory and operations and projecting those numbers into growth projections in stages of 5, 10, 15, and 20 years in the future.
This project is still in the preliminary stages and allows for incremental growth of the existing 3,800 feet X 75 feet runway to ultimately 5,500 feet X 100 feet.

 Products and Solutions: Worldwide Education & Research: Success Stories
In fact, NOW is so important to the computer industry that it is funded by some of Silicon Valley's top companies, and should carry Cal's computer science department into the next realm of technology.
And presently, NOW is being used by Culler and his students, as well as by the university as a whole, for a range of scientific, engineering and information processing applications.
The fallout from this research is threefold: what is learned from the NOW project will help to influence the technology industry; NOW is part of a graduate studies course for 12,000 Cal graduate students; and it is used as a resource for many other parts of the university like those doing computational science.

 07.31.2006 - Stardust@home launches today
The project was announced in January as NASA's Stardust spacecraft was prepared to deliver to Earth its payload of cometary and interstellar dust grains embedded in a relative ocean of aerogel detector.
The scanner is now on loan from UC Berkeley to NASA's Johnson Space Center, where colleagues Jack Warren and Ron Bastien are scanning the interstellar dust collector in the Cosmic Dust Laboratory.
The project is funded by NASA and has received critical technical and developmental support from Amazon Web Services and The Planetary Society, which has also supported the SETI@home project to detect intelligent signals from space.

 Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | Hubble to put supernova theory to the test
Type Ia supernovae are similar because their progenitor stars are white dwarfs that accrete mass from their partners in a binary system, exploding in a thermonuclear blast when the mass exceeds a specific limit, 1.4 times the mass of our sun.
Before the Supernova Cosmology Project's collaboration with JPL, most nearby supernovae were found by amateur astronomers or by small dedicated telescopes looking at one galaxy at a time.

This is a review of the Berkeley Project, supposedly designed to clone Jesus Christ.
Most scholars now suggest that the Lord’s birth had to have been at least as early as 4 B.C., since that is the date generally ascribed to the death of Herod the Great (who killed the infants in attempting to eliminate the baby Jesus – Matthew 2).
The promoters of this clone-Jesus fantasy are urging gullible folks to send money for the implementation of their “Second Coming Project,” and they provide a post office box number in Berkeley.
