ESRI had acquired land including a warehouse used by a charity, Joseph’s Storehouse. The City of Redlands Redevelopment Agency, along with a task force and the two parties, helped arrange for a land swap.
Property One, LLC, an affiliate of ESRI, closed escrow on the Stuart Avenue property and, through the agreement, would exchange the property for the current Joseph’s Storehouse building at 457 New York St.
The charity, which feeds and clothes those in need, will now have more room and the city is pleased to keep the community resource.

Professor Stewart Fotheringham from NUI Maynooth (Ireland) leads the project called StratAG – Strategic Research in Advanced Geotechnologies. It focuses on research related to geospatial monitoring and early warning systems. The €9m is from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI). Forty researchers are onboard in Ireland, along with industry partners including “ESRI, eSpatial, PMS and Navtech [sic].”
Fotheringham offers this vision of the future city:
Picture a person walking down the street with a hand-held device, which they point at each building. As they pass the cinema, the device will tell them what’s on; as they pass a restaurant, the device gives them the menu; as they pass an office block, the device tells them what firms are located in the block, their line of business and contact numbers.

The head of the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) announced that the number of satellites in the Glonass constellation will jump from the current 16 to 30 by 2011. That includes six to be launched by the end of this year. Glonass will have strong coverage at the poles, something key for mining natural resources in those areas.

This makes no sense to me, but I guess we are still in the “solution in search of a problem” mode for LBS. Here’s the deal: Everyone gets the last short episode first. The rest are delivered in an order based on location. Does that sound fun or interesting?
The film, Nine Lives, cost of $25,000, and is a collaboration between Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Art, Design and Media undergraduates, and its computer engineering undergraduates who developed the GPS apps.

The new marketing deal for Whrrl involves updates via Whrrl for characters on Entourage, an HBO TV show. I guess if the locations in the show were somehow important to me this might be interesting, but this doesn’t sound like something that’d prompt me to sign up. That said, this is clever.
The current challenge to such network, offers Venture Beat, is that these location-based networks don’t have enough participants to make them interesting. “Fake ones” are a way to up the ante.
