The event was led by Dr. Jill Biden, who has been a community college professor for 17 years. Among the highlights: • The administration has announced a new partnership called “Skills for America’s Future.” It’s designed to change the way business and labor leaders connect to community colleges. • President Obama has set a goal for America to once again lead the world in producing college graduates by 2020. That includes an additional 5 million community college degrees and certificates in the next 10 years. • The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation are launching the “Completion by Design” program. Investing $35 million over five years, the program hopes In a phrase that has special meaning at Clark College, two of the speakers— to dramatically improve graduation rates at community colleges.

    The Fastest 50 the Vancouver Sun Wed 31 Oct 2007 Page: F2 Section: Special Section Source: Vancouver Sun

    The Fastest 50 The Vancouver Sun Wed 31 Oct 2007 Page: F2 Section: Special Section Source: Vancouver Sun British Columbia's fastest-growing publicly traded companies These lists detail two pillars of B.C.'s economy: Those companies with the fastest growth and those companies with the strongest fundamentals, hence the Fastest 50 and the Strongest 50 combine to form The Vancouver Sun's Top 100. The Fastest list is all about balanced growth, not just success in one category of financial performance. Where other ranking efforts look solely at revenue change, BusinessBC's sophisticated analysis is based on formulas developed by James Brander of the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. It takes into account employee growth, revenues, stock performance, and earnings. The Strongest 50 concentrates on total assets, market capitalization and how the company performs based on those fundamentals (more below.) Twenty-five companies, such as Teck Cominco, have both strong fundamentals and continue to grow, so they qualify for both lists. BusinessBC's other project partner, Ernst & Young LLP, began by looking at all publicly-traded companies with headquarters in B.C. and/or a significant proportion of business activities located in the province. Most but not all companies are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange. Detailed financial information was drawn from annual reports and other sources. Employee numbers were volunteered by the companies and compiled by staff at The Vancouver Sun. Some 500 to 600 corporations were reviewed to arrive at this selection. James Brander's formula was applied to Ernst & Young's findings and the result was further refined to ensure that companies with balanced growth across the categories received due recognition.

    Negotiating a Quantum Computation Network: Mechanics, Machines, Mindsets

    Negotiating a Quantum Computation Network: Mechanics, Machines, Mindsets by Derek Noon A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016, Derek Noon Abstract This dissertation describes the origins, development, and distribution of quantum computing from a socio-technical perspective. It depicts quantum computing as a result of the negotiations of heterogeneous actors using the concepts of ANT and socio-technical analyses of computing and infrastructure more generally. It draws on two years of participant observation and interviews with the hardware and software companies that developed, sold, and distributed both machines and a mindset for a new approach to computing: adiabatic quantum computation (AQC). It illustrates how a novel form of computation and software writing was developed by challenging and recoding the usual distinctions between digital and analogue computing, and discusses how the myriad controversies and failures attending quantum computing were resolved provisionally through a series of human and non-human negotiations. These negotiations disrupted, scrambled, and reconstituted what we usually understand as hardware, software, and mindset, and permitted a ‗disruptive‘ technology to gain common acceptance in several high profile scientific, governmental, and financial institutions. It is the relationalities established across these diverse processes that constitute quantum computing, and consequences of this account of computation are considered in the context of digital media theory, industrial histories of computing, and socio-technical theories of technological innovation. Noon ii Acknowledgements Many sources of support helped me through the PhD program. I‘m grateful to Mitacs for its financial support of this research, and for providing me such good STEM peers/research subjects.

Associate Professor, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, UBC. Peter Hall Co-supervisor Associate Professor Herb Barbolet External examiner Independent food consultant Date Defended/Approved: January 08, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract In this paper I explore the transformation of the fruit and vegetable processing industry in BC’s Lower Mainland region from the late 1980s to 2011. I look at how the industry has adapted to the globalization of the fruit and vegetable processing sector and how it has evolved since the introduction of free trade agreements in 1989 and 1994. This research is based on the analysis of media reports, statistical data, survey results, and a series of interviews. The fruit and vegetable processing industry works within a globalized, competitive food system, while remaining an important component of the local food system. The paper contributes to the growing body of literature on Alternative Food Networks and Short Food Supply Chains in an often understudied link in that chain.
