Monarchs Fly Off To Mexico

Laptop Battery Shannon Carney stood as still as a 7-year-old can, not wanting to disturb the monarch butterfly sitting on her head. The butterfly lingered for at least five minutes as Carney posed like a statue. She occasionally moved her eyes to try to get a glimpse of the monarch and asked her friends if it looked like it was ready to fly.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Laptop Computer The students have been learning about monarchs all month and raising some of their own.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Desktop Computer "We love insects here," Fay said.

Notebooks The second-graders study all kinds of bugs all year as part of their curriculum, but the monarch project is new this year.

Lenovo Fay and Deal attended a workshop about the king of butterflies this summer and signed up their class for a University of Kansas project to track the monarchs' migration.

Hard Drive A UPS package containing 16 caterpillars arrived during the first week of class. Students followed the progress of the striped creatures as each formed a soft-skinned pupa that turned into a hard-shelled chrysalis and then a full-fledged butterfly.

Travelstar "First the shell turned jade green, then black," said Amanda Bayne, 7, as she described the life cycle of the monarch.

Gateway "And you could see half its wings while it was still inside," added Ashley Barnes, 7.

Laptop Parts "And then when they come out of the egg, they eat part of the egg," said Barnes, wrinkling her nose. "Then it ate other stuff."

Software The monarchs emerged from their cocoons Friday, and yesterday the world travelers began their 2,000-mile trip to Mexico.

Hard Drives "It's so much warmer there than here in the winter," Barnes said. "That's why they are leaving. Our fall is their summer."

Electronics The butterflies will stay in Mexico for several months before returning to Texas, where they will breed and die two weeks later. Their offspring will return north.

Canon Before releasing the butterflies yesterday, the students attached paper tags the size of a pencil eraser head with adhesive backs to the base of the butterfly wings. Each tag had an identification number the teachers recorded. Monarchs have sturdy enough wings to travel thousands of miles, and teachers said the tags won't harm them.

Desktop Pc Once the butterflies arrive in Mexico, an organization that tracks monarchs will log the butterflies that survive the journey. Students will be able to check whether their monarchs reached their destination on the Internet at monarchwatch.com.

Desktop Computers Scientists are studying the changes in migration patterns of monarchs because of environmental changes that threaten their way of life.

Think Pad Last year millions of monarchs died in Mexico because their habitat has shrunk. Logging has cleared forests where the butterflies make their homes in Mexico, and development in the United States has shrunk their food supply.

Repair Monarchs eat milkweed, a plant once commonly found in the Northeast that has become less abundant as housing developments and parking lots have replaced fields.

Data Recovery In the spring, students in all grades at Antheil will plant seeds from the milkweed pods at school and at home to attract and feed more monarchs.

Cisco Students described the release of their four-winged friends yesterday as both a sad and happy occasion.

Keyboard "I'll miss them," Carney said. "(But) it's too cold here for them."

Monitor Several of the students asked if they could hold a butterfly named "Lucky" because it was the first butterfly to leave the chrysalis.

Desktop After the students had released the butterflies, one landed on a tree nearby instead of flying away like the others.

Infosys Collin Mahoney, 8, observed the monarch resting on a branch.

Refurbished Laptops "I think he likes it here with us," Mahoney said. "I guess he's not ready to leave yet."
