Laptop Battery Conservationists and Colton city leaders are hoping that a $2.2-million federal grant will help in efforts to protect the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly, an endangered insect whose presence has blocked some developments in the city.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Thinkpad Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton awarded the grant money last month. The funds will be used to protect and preserve the fly and several other endangered species in the Colton area, including the Los Angeles pocket mouse, the western burrowing owl and the California gnatcatcher.

Laptop Computers The money will help the city pay 75% of the costs to acquire land for the flies and other species, Hendron said. The other 25% will have to come from the city, private donors or the state. Officials hope the land will help the creatures grow in numbers.
"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."

Desktop Computer As advocates of the species fight for its survival, developers and other area businesses have had to battle protectors of the insect to advance their projects.
Notebooks The fly was put on the endangered species list in 1993, and conservationists in Colton soon acquired 10 acres near the San Bernardino Freeway as a fly preserve. The area is part of the Colton Dunes, of which only 2% remains untouched by development, according to the federal grant report.
Lenovo Colton wants to develop the 10-acre preserve and surrounding areas. Plans for a recycling plant, new roads and a sports park have been rejected because of the species.
Hard Drive "The question is whether you consider the economic vitality of a community more important than a fly," said Daryl Parrish, Colton's city manager. "I think it is."
Travelstar Parrish said he hopes the federal grant will help the city buy fly-inhabited land for preservation in outlying areas to allow the city to build in more desirable areas.
Gateway But he and conservationists concede that $2.2 million might not go far enough.
Laptop Parts Greg Ballmer, an entomology research associate at UC Riverside, said, "A couple million is helpful. However, some of the parcels are very expensive."
Software Hendron said that, in any case, the federal government doesn't favor the kind of land swap Colton is talking about. Federal officials prefer that more land be acquired for the species' benefit, she said.
Hard Drives It's unclear how many flies live in the region. Federal officials said they have seen as many as 15 flies alive in one area at a time. They would like that number to rise to 200.
Electronics "It is difficult, because the fly population is already dangerously low," Ballmer said. "Why risk losing even more?"
