Historic Bethabara Park offers a variety of special events to the public throughout the year. These large events require a lot of manpower, and we need your help! We need volunteers to assist with tent set up, parking, loading wagon rides, selling bottled water, providing information, and handing out programs. Specific events offer additional volunteer opportunities. Have fun and meet people in the community.
We'd love to hear from you. Please join us in creating great celebrations.
Are you interested in volunteering at our special events? Please contact Assistant Director Diana Overbey firstname.lastname@example.com or (336) 924-8191 for more details!
2013 was a good year for Bethabara. Harriet McCarthy took on the role of Volunteer Curator of the 1761 Reconstructed Medical Garden. A natural leader, Harriet organized a group of dedicated Master Gardeners who worked in the garden from spring to late fall, accomplishing nothing short of a miracle, restoring a garden that had become under planted and overgrown. Truth be told, there are simply not enough good things one can say about Harriet—wise, knowledgeable, meticulous, dedicated, and fun are but a few adjectives that immediately come to mind. She is a curatorial dream come true for a historic garden site.
Harriet has been a Master Gardener in Forsyth County since 2005. She is currently President of the Management Council Extension in addition she is the head curator of the Forsyth County Extension Demonstration Gardens and was the recipient of the 2013 Friends of Extension award. Specializing in gardens that attract butterflies and birds, Harriet and her fellow Master Gardeners have established a Monarch Butterfly Garden at Bethabara. The garden serves as a teaching garden for the public as well as a Monarch Butterfly Waystation that serves to sustain butterfly migration.
Harriet is the mother to three boys adopted from Russia. She was presented with the Congressional Angels in Adoption award in 2003 for her work in post-adoption support outreach.
She is a San Francisco native and was formerly a dancer with San Francisco Ballet.
An avid reader of history, Harriet graduated from Salem College. She lives in Winston-Salem with her husband Eugene.
We at Bethabara are so very grateful that Harriet McCarthy has chosen to become a Bethabarean and to share her many talents with us.
Dick Fulp is the embodiment of a concerned citizen, committed to his community and to making it a better place for all. Independent, wise, funny, and endearing, Dick has a special place in the hearts of the Bethabara staff and the Historic Park, Inc. Board of Trustees.
Dick has served many roles at the Park—Trustee, Chairman of the Board, volunteer, and program coordinator. If you've ever attended Historic Bethabara Park Kite Day, you've probably met Dick and his grandsons, Parker and Clay Hughett, who lend kites from the back of Dick's Jeep so that kids and adults can fly them in the winds of early April. Dick purchased and assembled more than two dozen kites to insure that each person has a kite to fly, even if participants do not have kites of their own.
Dick's family shares in his activities and commitments. He plays a big role in his grandsons' lives, and over the years you would see them at his side, erecting tents for Park festivals, clearing trash from Park streams and woodland trails, and teaching children how to fly kites. Dick's wife Barbara and daughter, Leigh Hughett, have also volunteered at the Park, bringing lunch for the family workers and scooping ice cream at Independence Celebration. This is a family whose members support each other.
Dick was born in Kernersville and grew up with an enduring love of history. He attended Davidson College and earned an MBA at UNC Chapel Hill. He's worked for a number of financial institutions, including Wachovia, Bank of America and Franklin Street Partners. His hobby is clearing old, abandoned cemeteries, and he is currently at work on the Strangers' God's Acre at Bethabara.
Whenever Dick Fulp drops by the Park, it's a better day. It is a privilege to know and work with him.
Dick Ayscue has played numerous roles at Historic Bethabara Park over the years: trustee, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, mentor of the reconstructed 1759 Community Garden, and special event "parker" extraordinaire. Dick Ayscue deserves a lifetime award for volunteerism, for he has served with distinction on many boards and is a beloved member of a number of non-profit organizations. He is an inspiration to the members of the Historic Bethabara Park staff and to the many people he has worked with at the Park. Dick says that he "tries to do something good for someone every day," a commitment evident to anyone who knows him.
Dick Ayscue is a former vice president of Thalhimers NC and SC who moved to Winston-Salem in 1969. He has served as President of both the Winston-Salem and North Carolina Merchants Associations. He retired from Hecht's stores in 1991 and currently serves on the board of DataMax Corp., a non-profit organization that promotes the economy in Winston-Salem. Dick brings his management expertise and inestimable people skills to each of the many roles he has undertaken at the Park. A natural leader, one commonly hears the refrain "Let's ask Dick" among Bethabara community gardeners. He is warm and funny, wise and compassionate. We count ourselves lucky that he has taken us on. Dick represents the Park at its best.
It was a good day when trustee Chuck Hotchkiss introduced Keets Taylor to Historic Bethabara Park.
Born in Alaska, Keets Farquhar Taylor, artist, historian, preservationist and business woman, was raised in Flat Rock, NC where her father founded the Flat Rock Playhouse.
In 1992 Keets and her husband, Dick Taylor, helped organize the Loch Norman Highland Games. She later helped develop the Master Plan for the preservation of Rural Hill, the 1760 homestead of Major John Davidson in Huntersville, NC. and in 2004 was appointed the Executive Director of the Catawba Valley Scottish Society and the Rural Hill Center of Scottish Heritage.
Keets Taylor is an artist and portrait painter and is a member of the American Society of Portrait Artists.
Keets played an important role at Historic Bethabara Park in 2009. Bringing her artistic and organizational skills to bear at the 2009 Celtic Festival, she designed the festival brochure and worked to secure clan participation. She designed advertising and promotional material for Park events and researched and composed historic overviews of the terrain covered in two new Park trail maps. Smart, talented and humorous, Keets has been a delight to work with and an amazing volunteer.
A man of prodigious energy and talent, Chuck Hotchkiss has generously given of himself to support events at Historic Bethabara Park. Chuck is an important member of the Bethabara team, and his assistance enables Park staff to accomplish significant projects on a limited budget. Chuck is the volunteer every non-profit institution hopes to secure, and he is much appreciated by staff.
Chuck Hotchkiss has served as a volunteer at Historic Bethabara Park for the past 10 years. It is difficult to assess the actual number of hours he devotes to the Park, for he does woodwork, restoration, and repair for us every week, but in addition, he works all year long to set up the Park's highly successful Celtic Music Festival & Highland Games. Chuck has been the volunteer Director of this event for 10 years, sending out mailings, contacting Scottish clans throughout the state, securing athletes for the Highland Games and orchestrating Celtic food and craft vendors and activities. On the week of the Festival itself Chuck spends each day overseeing the set up and placement of tents and equipment. His contribution to the Park is invaluable, and the Celtic Festival would not be possible without his input and oversight.
Chuck has set up a woodworking shop in a Park building, the Archeology Lab, in order that the Park can build things needed on site at minimal expense. He constructed signs for two historic houses at Bethabara , he restored, virtually single handedly, the interior of the 1803 Herman Buttner Distiller's House, he painted the interior of the 1782 Potter's House, he built cabinets for the entrance to the Edwin Stockton Sr. Visitor Center, he restored a museum display case for Bethabara's Colonial Medicine exhibit, he built information stands for the displays in our Barn exhibit, he built shelves for storage of education program equipment and business office records and rebuilt a cabinet for the museum store. He regularly repairs objects used by 4th grade students in the Park's "Making a Home in the Wilderness" program and he has constructed benches for the public to utilize throughtout the Park.
If ever a volunteer deserved recognition for his contribution to a non-profit community resource, it is Chuck Hotchkiss.
Many of the photographs you see in our ads and on our website are due to the skill of long-time volunteer Jack Streb, APSA*. From September through May, visitors to the Park might see Jack strolling the grounds with his trusty film camera, capturing scenic shots when the light is just right or catching special moments during the Park's festivals and events. We are most fortunate that Jack donates his professional talent, honed throughout his career.
Jack served as Director of Still Photography Planning for Kodak's Consumer Markets Division and retired after serving as Vice President and General Manager of Marketing for Kodak's Electronic Photography Division. He has written articles on scores of photographic subjects and taught photography to such diverse groups as airline flight attendants, National Park Rangers, magazine writers, and adult camera clubs. He presented his slide and movie programs to more than 100,000 people in personal appearances in the United States and Canada.
We appreciate the many hours and rolls of film that Jack has spent to preserve unique aspects of the Park.

Last week Yew Dell held their annual fall fundraiser, which was also their 10th birthday party, on a brisk damp evening. People gathered for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, admired the gardens and indulged in lots of chatter. Much credit for Yew Dell's success must go to Executive Director Paul Cappiello, he is a real treasure, and board chair Mary Rounsavall. They both were warmly applauded.
A delicious dinner was served in a big white tent by Wiltshire Pantry. Fancy cupcakes were the "Birthday Cake†centerpieces and were to accompany the absolutely divine salted caramel ice cream. I would have traded the entire dinner for more of their fabulous ice cream!
Dinner was followed by a fun auction of trees, vacations and special wines. Among the attendees were Mary and Kurt Broecker, Liz Todd and Dan Schusterman, Carol and Charlie Hebel, Sylvia and Kenny Ray Jaegers, Mary and Steven Klein, Rosemary and Lee Kirkwood, Diana and Mike Ray, Ellen and John Colliver and hoards of others.
Each year CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) holds a fundraising party for guests to preview some of the art by invited artists that will be exhibited at the St. James Court Art Fair. CASA does such wonderful and needed work with children living in dicey situations. The organization receives no governmental support and must raise all of its own operating funds.
Greg Spears, the Complex Director for UBS at Olympia Park Plaza was the sponsorship chair for the event and, needless to say, UBS was the major sponsor.
The party, held at the Henry Clay, is always wonderful. There are so many things to see that it is hard to make up your mind.
After a few drinks and delicious apps and a stroll around the artists' stalls, you have a hard time picking out your favorite piece to buy. The ladies as a rule go for jewelry or woven shawls. The men tend to like the pottery or paintings or a chair. Yes, a chair. Some just find their table and sit and hold court while their wives shop.
Carol Lomicka, who has been a supporter and activist at CASA forever, and who chaired the renovation of their new offices on the old Kosair Hospital Campus on Eastern Parkway was busy shopping for goodies with the benevolent help of her sweetheart of a husband, Bill.
Other attendees were Ed Nasif, Denton Randal, Charlotte and Randy Hockensmith, Patricia and Kirk Carter, Betty and Tom Hagg, Mark and Tammy Switow (Tammy is the board chair), Christie and Randy Coe, Melanie and Steve Langford, Kate Inman, Teri and Steve Bass, Gladys and Sonny Bass, Ned Bass, Ed Nasif, Kathy and Amos Martin, Liz Todd and Dan Schusterman, Ethel Huffman, Laura and Doug Dausman, Patti Swope and Rich Van Camp.
The vendors were happy and so were the patrons.
Fran Jasper had friends in for a cocktail supper at her fabulous and delightful home in Mockingbird Valley on Saturday evening.
The house has charming terraces both in back and in front. The front terrace has an elegant swimming pool with an enormous eight-foot-tall stone urn for a focal point. The rear terrace is walled and elegant.
Fran's business is Oriental rugs, but she also is a top-rated interior designer. Her work ranks among the best in town.
She also has a diverse group of friends among which were Ellen Timmons, Michael Webber, Wayne Jenkins, Steve Van Hooser, Sue Baughman, Joey Seay, Diana and Bill Schmied, Kyle and Giampaolo Bianconcini, Vivian and John Korfhage, Charlotte and Richard Hibbs and lots of other talented people.

Propane Shortage Prompts Gov. To Declare State of Emergency
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has declared a state of emergency because of a severe shortage of propane and other home heating fuels statewide.
Dayton issued the emergency order Monday. The order calls on the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to activate the Minnesota Emergency Operations Plan.
State agencies also will be directed to help local governments respond to and recover from the emergency.
Minnesota's adjutant general also will be able to order any military forces to active duty to provide emergency relief.
Dayton also instructed Minnesota's commerce commissioner to use his consumer protection authority to help guard Minnesotans from price gouging.
The governor plans to meet with propane industry suppliers Tuesday to discuss the shortage and how to improve Minnesota's propane supply.

Backup USB battery
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
I am considering buying one of those portable batteries. Main usage will be for an iPhone 3GS (but future iPhones and other devices could be a possibility).
Something similar to this one.
Any suggestions? Do you have a specific brand/model you can reccomend?0
I use a Duracell PPS2. It's simple to use and gets the job done without any drama at all. It's very slim and light. When my phone needs a charge, I use it with a very short cable, but when my headset needs a charge I use a longer one. The battery's cake, cables are the hassle point.
I keep it in a little kit bag with AC & DC chargers, and all the various cables needed to charge all my gizmos.
If you're hoping to charge an iPhone this is a good read - iPhones are notoriously finicky chargers because different models require different voltages / ground on the USB data pins - some chargers ignore those data pins and it can cause problems charging.
I find the most reliable way to charge is to get something that has a 12v car socket, then use an iPhone specific car charger. I've had mixed luck with USB chargers.
@Wayne R: Have you used it with an iPhone? If yes, which model? @itsrob: regarding your "mixed luck"... which one worked? or worked best?
The one I'm currently using successfully came as part of a more expensive solar kit. The battery is a 5400mAh lithium-polymer battery. It is remarkably lightweight but is bigger than my phone. I use it to top off my phone at night during campouts which it can do 2-3 times before dying. The solar panel is slow to charge but I usually just charge the battery via USB before leaving town. http://www.amazon.com/StrongVolt-Charger--18Watt-Portable-Folding/dp/B005N1P7HM/
This solar panel / charger doesn't charge an iPhone (but I did have luck with other phones). http://www.amazon.com/PowerFilm-USB-AA-Solar-Charger/dp/B001RMBHMK/
I think if it specifically lists the iPhone (like in your original link) you are probably going to be ok.
I use the Just Mobile Gum Pro. It's powerful enough to completely recharge my iPhone in a bit over an hour, while still being small and light enough to be pocketable. iLounge gave it their "Highly Recommended" rating, and it gets 4.5 stars from users on Amazon.
Just Mobile has a couple of newer models with slicker packaging, but the Gum Pro has a more rugged case and the best size+weight to power ratio of the bunch. If you're looking for something with more oomph, there's the iSound Portable Power Max, which has more than triple the capacity of the Gum Pro (with correspondingly greater size and weight), but the reviews seem to be much more mixed on all of the larger battery packs.
I've used this rechargeable battery for about a year, and it's fine. (I use it with various Android devices, not an iPhone).
In case you cannot follow the link: it's described as "New Trent iCarrier 12,000mAh Heavy Duty 2A/1A Dual USB Ports External Battery Pack".
pamar @ Did you bought New Trent external battery? Would you like to give feedback please. I am thinking to buy that External Battery. I am personally using usb battery http://theeffectiveguide.com Streamlight Protac Hl USB flashlight is the perfect for this type work.

About The Writers
Monday, April 2, 2012
Writers Rock!
A couple of weeks ago, I knocked on my neighbor's door and asked if I could buy some of her landscape rocks to use for a writer's conference project. She did not close the door in my face but kindly suggested I take what I need. (We both knew she wouldn't miss them. The previous homeowner was overly zealous with the cobblestones.)
Over the next few days, I poked around her yard, rejecting and selecting, no doubt earning a reputation as the neighborhood's crazy rock lady. I gathered about 50 rocks, and, because they were dirty from lazing around on the ground as any self-respecting rock will do, I washed them in my kitchen sink. I took them to the home of one of my NCW partners in crime, and we began stamping them with inspirational messages.
A few days later, I gathered 50 more rocks. I washed them. This time, April came to my house, and we stamped the second batch.
Even after that, we needed more rocks. Again, I gathered and washed. My hands, which were already dry from weather and the seasonal war on germs, began to snag soft fabrics the way I imagine shark skin might. The words I stamped on the rocks grew shorter. In fact, if I could have found a way to make a single letter inspirational, I would have.
But, corny as it is, the one phrase I wish I would have thought to stamp is "writers rock." Because we do! Whether multi-published or just beginning to get words down on a page, we're creative, imaginative, friendly, fun people. I had a great time talking with many of the writers who attended the 7th annual NCW conference last weekend.
I've lost momentum in my writing, and the conference gave me a much-needed kick in the pants. As I get moving again, I'm not sure whether I'll be sticking to my usual route or heading for the road less traveled. But I don't think that matters right now, as long as I keep going forward.
If you were at the conference, I hope you had a great experience and want to come back. If you weren't able to attend, well, maybe next year.
And to everyone who took a rock home: Thank you! I did not want to haul those things out of there.
If you attended the conference, please share your thoughts!

I *loved* the rocks! So creative!
I had to use one of our cobblestones for a photo prop awhile back. I definitely was getting weird looks from neighbors as I was picking up individual stones, studying them, and putting them back in my quest for the "perfect" rock.

I thought the rocks were so creative and that April and Jenny did an amazing job on them.
Pat, I would love to do a conference every weekend--not a problem. (just be sure to book me a room at a mental hospital because that is where I would eventually end up.)

Author Notes: Minted Buttermilk is like a lassi, but not so thick in consistency. We often drink this after dinner or lunch or may be along with our dinner, especially in summer. It really chills you off and you can beat the summer heat with this drink. i so much so miss my family get togethers back in India, where we would be always and I mean it always have thali style lunch or dinner. Now, when we go back and someone prepares that thali with almost more than 10 items or so, we feel our appetite has gone bad. Because, that what we grew up eating at home and outside. So, the buttermilk plays an important part of this elaborated thali meal and one of the components that we enjoy mostly as I said after a big thali meal is consumed to digest all that stuff. and, whenever we would be invited by my sister, she would make us this wonderful "phudina" = mint "Chaas" buttermilk. It is easy and really delicious way to end any meal. —PistachioDoughnut
Serves: 6
cup Mint Leaves
cups Plain yogurt
teaspoon Ginger paste
teaspoon Roasted Cumin powder
Salt to taste
1 small
Green Chili
- Take the mint leaves, ginger, green chili , roasted cumin powder and salt and blend it in a blender with just a little bit of water. Once everything is combined add in the yogurt and pulse it one more time to combine the yogurt to it. Add approx 1 to 1 1/2 cups of water and again blend it .
- Unlike, lassi this drink is not thick. Once everything combined, strain the drink in a pitcher.
- When you are ready to serve, take it in a glass and garnish it with some more roasted cumin powder or chaat masala and a lemon slice and some sprigs of mint.

College Students Use Phones During Class, Prepare to Explain F's to Angry Parents
Getting a good education may not be as important as getting in touch with your friends.
A new study has revealed that the average college student checks his or her phones, tablet and laptop for non-school purposes 11 times a day while in class.
The study looked at 777 students at six universities in five states, so it is hardly all-encompassing.
What exactly are these students doing?
- 86% -- texting
- 79% -- checking the time
- 68% -- checking email
- 66% -- looking at social media
- 38% -- surfing the web
- 8% -- playing a game
And while it's great to have all this technology at their disposal, it does come with some risks. Ninety percent of students say they fail to pay attention in class, while 80% say they miss some of the class lesson and 32% their teachers chastise them. Slightly more than a quarter of all respondents say checking their mobile device in class negatively affects their grades.

Trend Alert: Big, Bold Floral Walls
Written By: Jaymi Naciri
Sunday, April 22, 2018
If theres one thing you can count on, its that some type of floral pattern will always be in >
But todays floral trends are a far cry from your grandmothers busy, tightly patterned situation. Instead, its all about big and bold, and the trend is hitting hard for those who want to make a statement on one wall, or more.
This Ellie Cashman Design "dramatic, large-scale floral wallpaper is inspired by the still life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age," they said. "Majestic, ethereal blooms cascade down a dark, shadowy background." The wallpaper appears as part of Elle Deacute;cors April Edit: Large-Print Florals Their edit also includes dinnerware, placemats, and pillows, along with several fashion pieces.. "The April Edit is devoted to all petals, pistils, and stems," they said. "A fresh bouquet, literal or figurative, marks the start of spring like no other. But beyond adding a fresh spray wherever counter space allows, plant a seed in your wardrobe and on your wall, too."
Elle Decor
Its just one of the large-print florals that are breaking the light and airy mold this season. Expect to see lots of these dark, dramatic looks, many with black backgrounds and others that continue with the jewel tone theme weve been seeing in fashionable interiors.
This black-backed print helps an entry come to life.
You dont need a flat wall to create a statement wall - and your large floral print doesnt have to be the only print in the space, etiher.
Think you cant go bold in a small space? Think again
hgtv.com - Mike Schwartz
Maybe its the fifth wall you have your eye on.
hgtv.com - Twist Tours
"Floral prints are always in if you asknbsp;Anthropologie," said Country Living. "Rather than a traditionally feminine look in 2018 they feel especially fresh and more interesting >
We also love that you can incorporate this trend into your home even if you dont want to make such a semi-permanent commitment. There are numerous peel-and-stick options that will give you the look in an easily removable material, like this one from Etsy.
Or this fun and unique pattern from Walls Need Love that adds peacocks to the mix.
If the thought of covering a wall in something so bold is still too much, even in a removable application, think about smaller bursts of flower power, like these drapes.

Dear all,
I would like to know which is the preferred method for checking the integrity of RNA (stored for >1 year in -80) using gel electrophoresis. I want to use this RNA for real-time PCR. Should I do denaturing gels or non-denaturing gels?
In non-denaturing gels. should I use 1x TAE or 1x TBE?
Thanks a lot,

You can use agarose gel in ATE buffer as used for DNA to check RNA quality. Just make sure your gel system is RNase free.

If I can use TAE buffer that I use for DNA, can I use the same loading buffer also?

You mean loading dye? Yes.

Also, we check the RNA in denaturing conditions using non-denaturing gels, just adding formamide to the loading buffer (so no special preparations).

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that control metabolism. Pregnancy hormones can affect thyroid hormones. Untreated thyroid disorders in pregnancy increase the risk of pregnancy complications. It may cause harm to the developing fetus. There are 2 types of thyroid disorders:
- Hypothyroidism —the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone
- Hyperthyroidism —the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone
Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. The immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Other causes of hypothyroidism in pregnancy include:
- Inadequate treatment of pre-existing hypothyroidism
- Overtreatment of hyperthyroidism
Grave's disease is characterized by overactivity of the thyroid. It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Another cause of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy is very high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). However, cases of high hCG can resolve on their own.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of developing a thyroid disorder include:
- Personal or family history of a thyroid disorder
- History of treatment for a thyroid disorder
- Presence of a goiter
- Hyperemesis gravidarum , a severe form of morning sickness
- Family or personal history of immune problems such as type 1 diabetes , vitiligo
Symptoms of hypothyroidism may include:
- Goiter in the front of your neck
- Fatigue
- Forgetfulness
- Depression
- Dry skin
- Slow heartbeat
- Weight gain
- Constipation
- Intolerance to cold
Untreated hypothyroidism in pregnancy can:
- Increase the risk of miscarriage and fetal death
- Preeclampsia
- Low birth weight
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism may include:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Heart palpitations or abnormal heart rhythm
- Sweating
- Nervousness
- Tremors
- Protruding eyes
- Intolerance to heat
- Diarrhea
- Trouble sleeping
Untreated hyperthyroidism in pregnancy is associated with:
- Heart failure
- Premature birth and low birth weight
- Preeclampsia
- Stillbirth
- Fetal hyperthyroidism
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your doctor will test your thryoid hormone levels and other blood tests. Imaging of the thyroid may also be done. You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in hormone disorders.
To treat hypothyroidism, your doctor will prescribe medication to replace the hormone your thyroid is not producing enough of.
Mild hyperthyroidism during pregnancy is often monitored closely without therapy. In some cases, you may need to take medication. If antithyroid medications do not work, surgical removal of your thyroid gland may be done. It is rarely recommended during pregnancy. Treatment with radioiodine destroys the thyroid gland. It is not done during pregnancy because of risk to the fetus.
Hormones associated with pregnancy can cause changes in thyroid hormone levels. Therefore, your medication needs may vary during pregnancy. Your doctor will likely check your blood levels of thyroid hormone every 6-8 weeks during pregnancy and 4 weeks after your medication dose is changed.

It's been 20 years, which is plenty of time to learn how to count time-outs. Go Blue!
I am pulling for Michigan to win. And Elijah's moment is his own to bear, just like Webber's moment is his to bear. I do feel sorry for Elijah, unlike Webber, he won't have the choice of trying to find redemption next year. Elijah's moment isn't that big of a deal to us (KU Fan's) but thanks for being cool about rubbing it in. You've always been a man of character and you never seem to have an issue reinforcing that belief about yourself when the time is right. Elijah's moment will disappear into the ether of other failed KU tournament runs (UT El Paso, Bucknell, N Iowa, etc) We have so many... it's hard to remember them all. I guess this feels good for you Michigan fans. After twenty long quiet years, you're back here making another go of it. That's almost enough time for the Fab Five's own children to have grown up and started for Michigan. Wow. That's a long, long time. Also, the reason I'm not following this thread is because when KU's season is over, I stop giving a hoot about College Hoops until the USA Today comes out in October with the preseason rankings. When that happens, you'll hear from me again.

Measuring ROIBy Wylie Wong | Posted 2008-11-26 Print
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's tech support call center, which receives 100,000 calls a year on more than 1,000 educational products, resolves customers' computer problems by taking over their desktops using Web-based remote software, also know as a clientless remote-support tool.
Measuring ROI
When the tech-support center implemented the Bomgar remote-support tool nearly two years ago, the publisher saw an immediate return on investment, ranging from faster call resolution to cost savings, Baird reports.
After the first year, average call times fell from 12 minutes to 10 minutes, and that dropped to about nine minutes at the end of this summer. The faster resolution rate improves customer service because it allows staffers to take more calls.
That, in turn, saves the company from having to hire more tech-support employees. Every 1.5 minutes that's shaved from the average call saves the publisher one full-time employee, Baird says. So a reduction from 12 minutes to nine minutes a call obviates the need for two additional full-time employees a year.
Switching from the old vendor to the new one also saves $12,000 a year in software licenses.
Overall, Bomgar's remote-administration tool has made the job faster and easier for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's tech-support team. "Since we installed this product, there has not been one single minute of downtime, no connectivity problems and no security breaches," Baird says. "We couldn't live without it."
Hosted or In-House Solutions?
Clientless remote-support tools are available as either a Web-hosted solution or as software and server appliances that are installed on an enterprise's in-house network. The type an organization chooses depends on its corporate policies, says IDC analyst Matt Healey.
For example, if security is a concern, a business may choose to install the technology in-house because all the data is housed internally, he says. However, he adds that with hosted solutions, companies can increase the number of software licenses almost immediately, while an on-premise product requires IT staffers to handle the installation.
The market for clientless remote-support tools is still emerging. Sales of these tools are expected to more than double in the next four years, from an estimated $156.4 million in 2008 to $335.7 million in 2012, according to IDC.

Race at breakneck speeds through the streets of modern-day L.A. in Midnight Club L.A. Remix, the ultimate racing experience for the PSP system. Drive the hottest real-world tuners, muscle and luxury cars, exotics and superbikes on the streets today. Customize your vehicle with the best after-market performance parts and custom kits. And exclusive to Midnight Club L.A. Remix, travel to Tokyo to test your skills against the best racers in the world. Street racing with no track and no rules: Welcome to the Midnight Club.
Super Gamer Dude
Sony PSP
Midnight Club: LA Remix is a game that expresses mere emotions of racing cars. The game is quite a complicated game because of its mixed concept of a weak storyline with the trash talks and extreme characters depicted within, the only apparent purpose of which is to motivate you to finish the race and destroy your opponents. The problem of this new version of Midnight Club is the long wait that you have to endure for screens to properly load throughout the game. At least the video game creators made a stunning change that remove the previous frame rate and weird side stories problems of the Midnight Club's Dub Edition.
The races in this game provide you with a total racing experience. Just don't rest on your laurels as your opponents can easily take advantage of your mistakes and weaknesses and they can come real hard against you.
Wise usage of shortcuts gives you the lead but the AI's don't easily give up. They really pose some challenge that can make you sweat it out before you can claim victory. The trash-talking opponents often distract you from your concentration, but despite all the dirty tactics that your opponent's make, winning the race comes easy with the timely use of the turbo boost and definitely gives that explosive and satisfying feeling.
In truth, this game, especially the career challenge is pretty tough. However, the LA Remix is just so good that once you start playing, you feel the exciting emotions that the game depicts and provides. With the simple controls of a PSP unit, you have the advantage of controlling your car amazingly well despite the tricky race tracks in the game.
The game is situated in downtown Los Angeles where the meanest and the fastest racers are. The game is all about getting as much rep before you take on the finest LA racers around. This makes the game a lot like an RPG because you have to earn rep to make you famous in the racing world. Earning a very high rep is your passport to becoming the best racer in LA. Being a lot like an RPG game, you have to bear the process of earning reps. You have to constantly race and win!
An interesting aspect of the game is the option of customizing your vehicles. This makes the game more appealing as you would want to save money just for your car. You can personalize your car by painting it and putting some aesthetic designs such as sprucing it up with some side skirts. You can also customize and improve your engine as you try to experiment on your car's ability to increase speed and handling.
Constantly playing the game helps increase your skill in the game. You gain more confidence as you easily cruise your way against your AI opponents. However, when you do not want to rely on your driving skill, you may want to rely on your car's special abilities and power ups such as vehicle launching and zone ability that are used to slow you down in tight corners but can give you a burst of speed right after.
You can play the game with your friends through the ad-hoc multiplayer. You may find the different modes of the game stimulating as you challenge all 58 well-tuned cars in the game. Other modes that you can dabble with include the mode of Painting the City before the time expires or the mode of Capture the Flag with your friends.
The game is really fun. It poses difficult challenges as you try to gain more reps. You may experience frequent restarting because your opponents are so good and the tracks are so difficult; yet, you don't feel inclined to stop playing this game. The game just gives a unique racing experience that you cannot forego. If you have a PSP unit, be sure that you include this game in your collection.

The Muslim Heritage Awareness Group (MHAG), a think tank and consulting body of the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC) held recently its meeting on 24 March 2009 in London at the Royal Society. In the following short article, we present a report on the meeting and describe briefly the debates around the selected theme: Muslim Heritage and Social Media.
The previous MHAG meeting was at Church House at the reception of Mr Jim Knight, the Minister for Schools, to launch the 1001inventions exhibition at the Houses of Parliaments. Following that successful event, another MHAG meeting was held on Tuesday 24 March at the Royal Society in London.
Following the previous format, proceedings start with a light lunch at 12.30 followed by four presentations (20 minute each) from experts on the theme selected for the meeting followed by a business meeting. The theme for this meeting was "Social Media".
The speakers and presentations were:
- Professor Peter Kawalek of MBS, University of Manchester: "What is Social Media and Why?"
- Mr. Lee Bryant, MD of Headshift Ltd. and Trustee of FSTC: "Social Media Strategies as Applied to Muslim Heritage Awareness"
- Professor Jim al-Khalili, University of Surrey: "Science Communication and Muslim Heritage in Science"
- Professor Salim Al-Hassani, Chairman of FSTC: "1001Games: Sports in Muslim Heritage".
The first part of the meeting was chaired by Bettany Hughes. It started by a spectacular short film entitled "Ancient Wisdom", originally shown at the launch of Qatar Science and Technology Park in Doha on 16 March 2009, to which FSTC contributed content and advice: see Ancient Wisdom Exhibition at Qatar Science and Technology Park 16th March 2009 in Doha.
A lively discussion ensued on all presentations with lengthy contributions from Dr Charles Savage, who came especially from Munich, and from Dr Munim Al-Rawi, who came especially from Dublin. Of particular note was the contributions of new members such as William Hopper, financier.
The last hour of the afternoon was spent on business issues related to future works and projects of FSTC, especially on the front of promoting Muslim heritage awareness for social cohesion and world peace.
