Be tough, active, gregarious and noisy, always on the move and always alert to the possibility of a …meal. Don't be like the boisei – whose behaviour was specialised for survival in only one niche, they didn't make it. They live within a strict social structure and are led by a dominant male whose strength and power holds the group together. The boisei 's specialisation has locked them into one way of living, and when their niche no longer exists, neither can they. But the habilis can adapt to a changing world - their generalist trait lives on in us. Two million years ago, evolution tells us… Strategic Knowledge

- Step 1: Gather data Step 2: Discern the patterns in the data in order to transform into info reconstructing the acquired information into strategic knowledge Step 3: Translate into strategic knowledge that can be used to your competitive advantage – to develop a strategy. The strategic thinker finds strategic knowledge in the complex and chaotic data stream of everyday living. Data and info have no value unless acted upon

- November 12, 2008 - 11:52AM How fast is the new supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory? If everyone in the world performed one mathematical calculation per second, it would take 650 years to do what this machine can do in one day. That makes the $US100 million computer, nicknamed "Jaguar" by scientists, the fastest in the world for unclassified scientific research. At more than 1 quadrillion mathematical calculations per second, it is about 55,000 times faster than your typical PC. Only one other supercomputer is faster, and it's devoted to classified research on nuclear weapons at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Global climate change, space matter that can't be seen, and alternative energy - everything from improved gasoline combustion to fusion - are some of the subjects Jaguar will be used to research. In June, Jaguar, a Cray system, was rated fifth-fastest in the world by researchers who track the 500 top supercomputers. The Oak Ridge lab, a Department of Energy facility, announced Monday that it had upgraded Jaguar since then, and achieved its four-year goal of 1 quadrillion calculations per second - or 1 "petaflop" - six months ahead of schedule. Jaguar recently achieved sustained performance of more than 1.3 petaflops while churning out calculations on superconductivity and has hit a peak speed of 1.64 petaflops, the lab said. It is still undergoing final trials but should be ready for research by January. Thomas Zacharia, Oak Ridge's associate director for computing, anticipates a waiting list of proposals and near full-time operation when the computer begins work. All users must share their results with the broader scientific community.

- National will: - Appoint a Minister of Infrastructure to reshape, co-ordinate and then oversee the Government's infrastructure objectives. - Develop a 20-year National Infrastructure Plan in conjunction with local government to set a clear direction for vital national infrastructure investment, including top priority projects. - Introduce a new category of state highway, called Roads of National Significance, which will be singled out for priority treatment. SH1 is an example. Such roads will be central to our development and investment plans Introduce priority consenting, which will streamline consents for major national infrastructure using a call-in process so the decision is determined nationally. The law will require a decision on these priority consents within nine months. - Increase Crown capital investment by up to an extra $500 million a year above levels projected by Labour. This is in addition to the Broadband investment commitment of $1.5 billion over six years. This will result in National investing in close to $5 billion of additional capital investments, over the next six years, to fund infrastructure over and above that foreshadowed by Labour. This mean that at the most, National will be running a gross debt-to-GDP ratio around two percentage points higher than Labour is planning. - Pass laws to introduce a new range of financing techniques for national infrastructure projects. National will introduce infrastructure bonds as a new asset class, and make greater use of public-private partnerships. Australia- The Minister has overall responsibility for all of the matters falling within the Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government portfolio, including regulation, safety and funding in relation to aviation, shipping, roads and railways and policy on regional development, local government and the territories, including the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory .
