Old School Bakery & Deli (fresh baked goods, subs, sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches)
Old School does lunches, but I was looking for fresh-baked carbs - I'll definitely be back for more of these Radio Bars. Turns out that you can rationalize a lot of calories by saying "I'll blog about it".
NORTH GREENBUSH — General Electric’s digital makeover of technology that helps doctors detect and diagnose smaller tumors made its debut Friday, with a new digital X-ray factory in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Tech Park.
GE Healthcare officially opened its $165 million mammography production facility in the Rensselaer Technology Park today.
General Electric opened its $165 million digital mammography production facility Friday, that will create some 150 manufacturing jobs.
The new 130,000-square-foot facility in the Rensselaer Technology Park includes a 60,000-square-foot “clean room” and will have a payroll of some $10 million.
Last month, GE Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt was at the laboratory to announce plans to build a $100 million battery plant in the Capital Region that will employ 350 people.

A site for the battery plant hasn’t yet been announced, but state Sen. Roy McDonald pointed to vacant land across from the new X-ray plant and suggested to the crowd that GE put it “right there.”
Under pressure to improve recovery time objectives and minimize data loss, IT veterans at MetLife Inc. took advantage of decreasing storage costs and an underleveraged data center to devise a multimillion-dollar disaster recovery strategy that met those goals, eliminated a security risk and will earn a double-digit ROI in five years.MetLife previously backed up the mainframe onto data tapes, which were stored off-site. In the event of a major system failure, as much as 41 hours of data could potentially be lost, depending on the time of the last tape backup. MetLife turned their Scranton, PA data center into a mirror image backup site for Rensselaer, greatly improving recovery times and reducing potential data loss to 15 minutes. (They had to install an ultra-high-speed optical network line between the two centers to achieve this.)
