In today’s technologically-advanced world, teleworking is playing a large role in the marketplace. In fact, a recent study found that “24% of rural businesses and 35% of non-rural businesses currently allow employees to telework or telecommute”, and “nationally, 2.4 million U.S. business establishments, out of approximately 7.4 million total businesses, allow employees to telework.”
A single computer used to fill an entire room. Now, the processors in most smartphones are greater than those of the first mega-computers. But, as technology gets smaller and smaller, it gets more and more difficult to produce "nano-sized" electronics.
So scientists have decided to get nature involved. Scientists at the University of Leeds in the UK and at Japan's Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology are using a special form of bacterium to test their theory. The microorganisms - Magnetospirillum magneticum - naturally create tiny magnetic crystals when they ingest iron. These magnets are similar to those found in PC hard drives.
The growing demand for data center space is no surprise. Immense volumes of data, disaster recovery solutions and effective heating and cooling needs have forced many businesses to expand their data center space. In fact, a recent study showed that "92% of respondents said their companies will definitely or probably expand their data center space in 2012."
The fact that so many businesses recognize the need for additional data center space isn't surprising. What is surprising is the number of companies that are turning to third parties for the expansion project. According to the study, "78% of respondents with expansion plans said they intend to use a partner - such as a wholesale data center provider or a design/build partner - for one or all of their projects."

Imagine having the luxury of multiple job offers. That’s the case for Mitchell Technical Institute’s Telecommunications program graduates. In fact, there are 33 jobs open for just 17 students.
SDN Communications is actively helping recruit future students to MTI’s program because it’s the future of our workforce. Yesterday, KELOLAND TV featured our partnership on the 10pm news. Almost $800,000 of the $20 million federal stimulus grant awarded to SDN is going to pay for lab equipment at MTI so students can get relevant, hands-on experience, which will lead them into good jobs – a goal of the stimulus effort.
Twenty percent of SDN’s workforce graduated from MTI. We anticipate more coming from there. In fact, KELO’s Ben Dunsmoor interviewed student Travis Williamson. He’s coming to work at SDN next month.

My South Dakota Book: Hometown Snapshots simulates a photography road trip of 33 South Dakota towns and other landmarks. The project will supplement the fourth grade curriculum in South Dakota. SDN Communications developed the book for its owner companies, the 17 independent telephone companies of South Dakota. Some of those companies used to give a reading book to elementary students as a gift from the local telephone company. Those companies asked SDN to develop something that would hold more value for not only the children but also parents. SDN Communicationssponsors the My South Dakota Book: Hometown Snapshots to fourth graders so they can learn more about South Dakota communities. In fact, SDN has distributed over 12,000 copies so far.
“This is the kind of book children and parents get excited about and keep for a long time,” says SDN Marketing Manager Vernon Brown. “When we give children or adults the book, they tell us they can’t put it down.”
The 108-page book also features many projects that can be personalized for each student’s family, heritage and community. There is also a pull-out map of South Dakota behind the cover and a parent/teacher guide available online.
“This is a way for our companies to show children how proud we should be of our state,” Brown says. “The book displays the best South Dakota has to offer. From our rich history to big festivals, it covers the colorful character of this big state.”
