Hortincy Voris Hogan, youngest daughter of John and Rachel Montfort Voris, was born in 11/22/1810 in Mercer County, Kentucky, likely at the Pleasant Hill Shaker village, as her parents had joined the society early in 1810. She was the twelth child of Rachel and John Voris and a great granddaughter of the patriarch of the Low Dutch Colony, Hendrick Banta 3rd and his first wife, Rachel Brower.
The Shaker records say she left the society in 1829, but does not give a month and day in the records. I believe she left with one of her brothers. Samuel left March 23, 1829 and Francis left August 25, 1829. Patsey Thomas [Martha], the daughter of Elisha Thomas, left the society October 8, 1829 and would marry Francis Voris, Hortincy's brother.
I checked the census for Illinois and Indiana for 1830 and they are not there....though I believe they may have made a stop somewhere in Indiana as they moved towards Illinois.
There is a Francis Voris in Kentucky [Mercer County] in 1830 with
two males between the ages of 20-30,
one male between 30-40,
one female under the age of five,
two between five and ten,
one female between 20-30
one female between 30-40
There is also a much older Francis Voris in 1830 both in Mercer County. I don't know if the younger Francis is the one who left the Shakers...he would have been about 39 in1829 when he left the Shakers, if his 1790 birthdate is correct. Samuel would have been 23 when he left the Shakers in 1829 and Hortincy about 19 when she departed in the same year. According to Larry Voreis, Francis Voris married Patsey Thomas on January 30, 1830 in Shelby County, KY, so the female listed as between 30-40 must be Patsey, but who is the female under 5? It may be well that it is the daughter of Francis and Patsey who did not live into adulthood.
Both Francis and Samuel show up in the 1840 census of Peoria, Illinois. Francis has a son under the age of five and possibly a daughter, but by 1850, only the son is living with him and Patsey. The son is Henry B, age 14 at the time of the census. He is not found after this date however, so must presume he has died. In Larry Vories book on the Low Dutch [OUR LOW DUTCH HERITAGE], Francis and Patsey adopted Henry. Francis provided for his wife, Patsey, in his will and that she provide for Henry. A large portion of his estate went to his nephews, sons of his brother, Peter.
I think it is likely that Hortincy left the Shakers with her brother Francis in August of 1829 and then moved with him to Indiana and from there to Illinois where she married John Devonport Hogan on September 15, 1835. [source: Illinois marriages online] On her license she is listed as Hortensia Goodrich Voris.
John D. Hogan was a physician, and with her, would move to Bastrop County, TX. They were there by the 1850 census which lists four children. Frustratingly it only gives initials...save the youngest. F.V. , age 11, a son born in Missouri; then S.A. who was born in MO and was 9 at time of the census of 1850. The boys are followed by their only sister, C. who was four at the time of the census and born in Texas...followed by John born in Texas and only 4 mos old at the time. Later census would show that the oldest boy was Frank...probably Francis Voris and the next son was Shields Alexander. The girls name has not been found and nothing else is known about her at this time.
The 1850,1860, and 1870 census does not show the Hogans but since they are found in Bastrop County, TX in 1880, it is assumed they were there all that time but missed the census taker unintentionally or on purpose. It does show in Texas Civil War records online that John as well as both his sons, served in the Civil War...in the Confederate Army. The boys were part of the 17th TX Infantry, Company F.
Shields Alexander Hogan married Mary E. Lytle by January 1, 1865, when their first son was born. He was named Montfort E. Hogan...though some census give the middle initial as S. His death certificate and marker at the cemetery where he was buried, give his name as Montfort E. Hogan.
Shields and Mary would have a daughter, Mary Zepha in 1866 and another son in 1877 named Hardway. He apparently died young as he is not listed after this 1880 census anywhere in Texas records or anywhere else. Mary did not marry and died January 15, 1884.
In 1880 Shields and his family are living in Waco, TX [McLennan County] where he is listed as a herdsman born in MO. By 1900, he is living in the same town and county but his occupation is now lawyer...and gives his birthdate as October 1843. Mary was born November 1847 in Texas. Shields was living in a boarding house in 1910, listed as age 57 and a lawyer, it also states he had three children and only one living. He was lodging with J. Green and there was a young girl with him or it appears she is with him...named Elizabeth Hogan age 15.
Also living in McLennan County, Waco, TX is their son, Montfort Hogan.
Montfort Hogan is listed as having been born Jan of 1865 in TX . His wife, Lucy, was born in Arkansas in February 1881. They are in the 1900 census of McLennan, TX.. They have one son, Luther, born in Texas in June of 1894. Lucy was a Robinson before her marriage to Montfort Hogan and was born according to TX death records and a cemetery record, in 1871. She died March 25, 1905. He is not found in 1910 census but in 1920 he is listed as living in McLennan County, TX at Waco with a second wife, Eddleta age 35 and her two sons from a prior marriage, Carl W. Stewart [18] and Frank Stewart [15].
The death of Montfort Hogan occurred August 30, 1931.
Texas deaths online and at USGENWEB for McLennan County, TX, give the following on this Hogan family:
S.A. Hogan died of an accidental gunshot wound to the head....one source specifically says it was accidental. He was 75 years of age and the death happened on November 13, 1917 in McLennan County, TX. He was buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Waco, TX. [source: USGENWEB TX deaths]
His wife, Mrs S.A. Hogan had died on January 28, 1910 at the age of 63 and was buried in the Oakwood Cemetery.
Shields Alexander Hogan died at the age of about 75 years in McLennan, TX with his occupation listed as lawyer on his death certificate. It gives his father as John D. Hogan, but mothers name unknown by the informant, M.E. Hogan of Waco. The date given is November 13, 1917. [*note, the M.E. is Montfort E. Hogan].
Montfort E. Hogan died on August 30, 1931 in Lake Waco, TX [McLennan County] and it gives his date of birth on the death certificate as January 1, 1865 and his mother as Mary Lytle. The informant is Harvey L. Hogan. I am going to assume this Harvey L. Hogan is the son of Montfort though I find no record of him in census records online. It is possible he is the same as Luther on the 1900 census and perhaps a misinterpretation of information given to the census taker or they called the son by the nickname Luther. I strongly suspect Luther in the 1900 census and later references to Harvey L, are one and the same. [see below]
1920 Galveston TX, finds Harvey L. Hogan age 25 and a butcher living with his wife, Hardee also 25. No children listed, but the Social Security deaths online lists a Harvey L. Hogan JR dying in Bowie County, TX on October 20, 1997.
Harvey Lytle Hogan died August 21, 1963 at the age of 60 in Wharton, TX, his residence at the time was Brazona, TX and he was buried in Houston. His death certificate gives his date of birth as June 4, 1894 in Texas...which lines up perfectly with the census taken in 1900 that gives the child,Luther, a birthdate of June 1894.
The following was found online at McLennan County, TX genweb site and was compiled by the Central Texas Genealogy Society.....
Oakwood Cemetery, McLennan County, Waco, Texas.
Dr John D. Hogan CSA 1810-August 7, 1890
Hortensia VORIS Hogan, wife of Dr J.D. 1811-February 6, 1902
Mary E. Lytle Hogan, 1847-January 28, 1910
S. A. Hogan 1843-November 14, 1917 [should read Nov 13 according to the sources]
Lucy Robinson Hogan wife of M. E. 1871-March 25, 1931
Montfort E. Hogan January 1, 1865-August 30, 1931
Mary Zepha Hogan daughter of S.A. and M. E. 1866-January 15, 1884
Harvey Lytle Hogan, son of S.A. and M.E. 1866-November 10, 1884
From the records of the Fall and Puckett Funeral home in Waco, TX compiled by the Central Texas Genealogy Society and online at McLennan County, TX genweb [USGENWEB] I found the following on the Hogan family:
Hortensia Hogan died February 6, 1902 at the age of 91, informant S.A. Hogan
Montfort E. Hogan age 66, died of acute dilation of the heart on January 1, 1865, charge of 358.25 goes to the estate for settlement. He died in Precinct 4 of Lake Waco and was living on Corsicana Road. He was a farmer and divorced.
S. A. Hogan died at age 75, charges of 57.00 no casket. His residence was Corsicana Road.
Mrs. S. A. Hogan died of apoplexy January 28, 1910
In addition I found online at McLennan County, Waco, TX from records of the WACO DAILY EXAMINER and compiled by the Central Texas Genealogy Society .....
Wed. January 16, 1884 Miss Zephie Hogan, daughter of Shels Hogan, died yesterday, age 17. The father is in Tyler. The funeral will be Thursday from the residence at 8th and Austin, with Mr J.D. Shaw officiating.
Wed, March 26, 1905 Mrs Hogan, wife of J.W. Hogan, died at Llano yesterday, ship remains to Waco. J.W. is the son of Judge S.A. Hogan, funeral Monday. [*there is a question mark after the name of Judge Hogan]
Wed March 27, 1905. Funeral of Mrs. Mont Hogan is from the residence 8th and Austin with burial in Oakwood Cemetery.
[*I believe the question mark for the entry in the newspaper on March 26, is a misprint , and the name J. W. should be M. E. This is the date of his wife's death according to the Oakwood Cemetery records. Her name was Lucy Robinson Hogan and the entry for the paper on March 27, confirms that.]

NEWPORT BEACH - Joe Ozaki of Japan played in the first round of the Toshiba Classic Friday not knowing his family's status after a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit his homeland the night before.
He figured they'd be OK because someone would've gotten in touch with him if there was trouble.
Ozaki, whose home is in Tokyo, spoke with his wife, Yoshie, Friday night, helping him put his mind at ease. It also helped him make a jump from tied for 15th to tied for third after a second-round best 7-under-par 64 Saturday at Newport Beach Country Club.
Ozaki's 64 tied three others and put him in contention going into Sunday's final round, as he's tied with two-time major champion Mark O'Meara, who grew up in Orange County.
Nick Price, a three-time major winner who matched a Champions Tour record 60 Friday, remains in the lead. He went three under and has a two-shot lead at 14-under, going into the final round.
Mark Wiebe, seeking his first win on the Champions Tour since 2008 and his third victory overall, is in second, two shots back after shooting 65 Saturday.
Ozaki's bogey-free round on the second shortest course on the Champions Tour (6,584 yards) included seven birdies, five coming on the front nine.
He said he also felt relaxed during his second round because he played with Fuzzy Zoeller. Ozaki, who is 54, said he likes Zoeller's pace and in the past he had always told Ozaki to relax.
Ozaki, who has yet to win on the Champions Tour, did appear calm. As he should since three of his five best scores on the 50-and-older tour have come at Newport Beach. But the news about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan did concern him a bit.
"He lives in Tokyo, so pretty much kind of far away from the main, damaged city," said Yasuko Moore, Ozaki's caddie who interpreted his answers during an interview. "But they felt the shake, movement, so they were really nervous. His wife got so shaky because of the aftershock, too. They kept coming back, the aftershocks. His family got really nervous with the aftershocks."
Ozaki's wife called him Friday night. Before that he had no way of getting in touch with his family, including his two sons, ages 20 and 12. He has been away from Tokyo for the past five weeks, but he plans to reunite with them after this tournament ends.
If he can repeat or better his second-round score, he'll have a chance to take a championship with him. He shot a 64 Saturday because he said he was able to read the greens better and improve on his putting.
Wiebe, who was the first-rounder leader last year, putted just fine, matching his 65 from Friday. He collected seven birdies, three out of his final five holes. He was happy with that considering he finds the poanna greens challenging at Newport Beach.
Price, 54, said he played a conservative round Saturday, finishing with four birdies and a bogey.
"I just need play well enough to win," said Price, who had a five-shot lead after the first round. "I did the right thing. I'm not trying to set any records."

C# Interview Questions & Answers
C# Interview Questions & Answers :
1. Does C# support multiple-inheritance?
2. Who is a protected class-level variable available to?
It is available to any sub-class (a class inheriting this class).
3. Are private class-level variables inherited?
Yes, but they are not accessible. Although they are not visible or accessible via the class interface, they are inherited.
4. Describe the accessibility modifier "protected internal".
It is available to classes that are within the same assembly and derived from the specified base class.
5. What's the top .NET class that everything is derived from?
6. What does the term immutable mean?
The data value may not be changed. Note: The variable value may be changed, but the original immutable data value was discarded and a new data value was created in memory.
7. What's the difference between System.String and System.Text.StringBuilder classes?
System.String is immutable. System.StringBuilder was designed with the purpose of having a mutable string where a variety of operations can be performed.
8. What's the advantage of using System.Text.StringBuilder over System.String?
StringBuilder is more efficient in cases where there is a large amount of string manipulation. Strings are immutable, so each time a string is changed, a new instance in memory is created.
9. Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?
10. What's the difference between the System.Array.CopyTo() and System.Array.Clone() ?
The Clone() method returns a new array (a shallow copy) object containing all the elements in the original array. The CopyTo() method copies the elements into another existing array. Both perform a shallow copy. A shallow copy means the contents (each array element) contains references to the same object as the elements in the original array. A deep copy (which neither of these methods performs) would create a new instance of each element's object, resulting in a different, yet identacle object.
11. How can you sort the elements of the array in descending order?
By calling Sort() and then Reverse() methods.
12. What's the .NET collection class that allows an element to be accessed using a unique key?
13. What class is underneath the SortedList class?
A sorted HashTable.
14. Will the finally block get executed if an exception has not occurred?
15. What's the C# syntax to catch any possible exception?
A catch block that catches the exception of type System.Exception. You can also omit the parameter data type in this case and just write catch {}.
16. Can multiple catch blocks be executed for a single try statement?
No. Once the proper catch block processed, control is transferred to the finally block (if there are any).
17. Explain the three services model commonly know as a three-tier application.
Presentation (UI), Business (logic and underlying code) and Data (from storage or other sources).

Just as athletic brands led by Nike Inc. /quotes/zigman/235840 /quotes/nls/nke NKE seek to expand globally, the National Basketball Association has been keen on building up its international fan base, and the sales that come with it.
For the first time, the U.S. basketball league released its worldwide rankings of top selling basketball jerseys for the 2012 to 2013 season, based on global sales of Adidas /quotes/zigman/364540 /quotes/nls/addyy ADDYY , which has the licensing rights to make the jerseys. NBA said a total of 12 NBA teams will play 10 preseason and regular-season games in 10 cities in seven countries as part of its 2013-14 NBA Global Games schedule. That would mark the most NBA teams to play internationally in a single season in the history of the league, NBA said. Among the cities in the NBA's sights: Istanbul, London, Rio de Janeiro and Taipei.
LeBron James of the Miami Heat topped the list of worldwide NBA jersey sales, where he ruled the roost in the United States and the Philippines. In China, Latin America and Europe, fans catapulted Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls to the top spot. A league spokeswoman declined to comment on specific sales data.
While Jeremy Lin of the Houston Rockets didn't see his jersey place in the top 15 globally, he remains a star in China, where his jersey garnered the No. 4 spot.
Getting the players to be ambassadors is not just important for NBA, but also to Nike and other athletic gear retailers such as Foot Locker Inc. /quotes/zigman/293726 /quotes/nls/fl FL . The players' signature basketball sneakers, priced at up to $200 a pop and dominated by Nike, often are big buzz builders for the brands they wear.
Nike, whose stock recently hit a record high, has sent James and other players overseas to drum up global demand.
While fans have bought LeBron James' signature gear, the two-time NBA champion still has some catching up to do. Nike's Jordan line of sneakers filled the top four selling basketball shoe slots so far this year, with the franchise having generated $2 billion in retail sales, according to SportsOneSource analyst Matt Powell. James' sneakers, in comparison, didn't place in the top 10 and generated sales of $250 million year to date.

Woman Charged with Gun Smuggling in Derby Line
BURLINGTON, VT – A Florida woman was indicted Friday on charges of smuggling firearms into Canada from Vermont. The woman, Annette Wexler, 46, allegedly used the Haskell Free Library in Derby Line for the operation.The Haskell Library straddles the international border and can be accessed by both U.S. and Canadian residents without going through customs.The U.S. Attorney for the District of Vermont says a federal grand jury, sitting in Burlington, charged Wexler, of Gibsonton, Florida, with various firearms offenses. The charges include conspiracy to make false statements to firearms dealers when purchasing firearms, illegally exporting firearms to Canada, and dealing firearms without a license. The indictment alleges that Wexler knowingly transported an illegal alien into Vermont. Wexler has denied all charges. U.S. Magistrate Judge John M. Conroy released Wexler on personal recognizance.The indictment says Wexler and a conspirator bought numerous handguns from multiple licensed gun dealers in Florida from July 2010 to April 2011. When the guns were purchased, Wexler and her conspirator falsely stated on the ATF forms they were the true owners of the firearms when they were actually purchasing these firearms on behalf of a Canadian conspirator.According to the indictment, Wexler and another person traveled to Derby Line with multiple firearms and transferred them to the Canadian at the Haskell Free Library on March 25, 2011."The United States Attorney emphasizes that the charges contained in the indictment are merely accusations and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until she is proven guilty," states a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice. If convicted, Wexler faces ten years in prison. The U.S. is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Perella. Wexler is represented by Nancy Waples of Burlington, Vermont.This case was jointly investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and Homeland Security Investigations of the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Surete du Quebec provided assistance in this investigation.

Cambodia Hope is an organization that is focused on raising awareness around the efforts needed to help rehabilitate the victims of human trafficking in Cambodia.
We are in need of a beautiful website design.
Our goals are to raise awareness, raise money for supportive efforts, highlight links to other active organizations, and help those who have the resources or time come together with those that need it most.
The site should provide an overview of the situation, provide information on ways to help (donation link, contact information, other links, etc...), and eventually will encompass social networking and news links about the efforts.
- If the resulting site is done in Illustrator, any fonts will need to be listed and available.
- For color themes we are thinking greens and oranges (inspired by the native bamboo and the color of the robes worn by the monks) or earth tones. Something to reflect the culture and landscape.
- The audience for the site are generally not Cambodian Nationals. Europe, North America, South America, and mostly, at this time, located in the United States. However, NGO's located in Cambodia will view the site regularly.
- Easy navigation is key with only one navigation deep being needed.
- We have no logo, and will probably use some combination of graphics on the site to act as that.
- Please keep the fonts down to 2 (3 at the very most).
- Please use our tagline: "It's simple. Leave the world a better place than how you found it!"
- For overall style we are looking for a zen simplicity and elegance.
- Do not try to keep any of the original design alive, we are looking for a new and fresh look.
- We are not looking for cartoony or highly stylized content.

Students who want to
avoid the required physi-cal

may earn the components
necessary to graduate by
taking physical educa-tion
proficiency tests.
Last year about 200 tests
were given, according to
Judy Williams, physical

The written and skills
tests are given each se-mester.

On Monday, Sept. 28,
the Student Senate will
hold an open forum to help
determine the future of the
Spire. The future of the
Spire is in question due to
the financial situation of
the '80-81 Spire.
"Our main objective is
to get a feeling of what the
student body wants," said
Mark Publow, Student
Senate president.
"We will definitely pub-lish
the '80-81 Spire,"
stated Publow. "As far as
the '81 -82," he continued,
"the financial budget out-look
is bleak but not insur-mountable."
He said the
'82 Spire is financially
There is no fee for the
tests if students take
them on the scheduled
day. If the assigned day is
missed and the student
wishes to schedule a spe-cial
testing time, thereis
a $20 fee.
This year all the tests
have been revised and
updated. The proficiency
handbooks have also
been updated to corr-sp
on d with the tests.
Handbooks are on res-erve
in the LRC as are the
textbooks for the classes
students may test out of.
Students choosing to
"proficiency out" of a
course need not register
for the course or sign up
to take the tests. Tests
may be picked up in PE
pen foru
feasible if the student body
wants to continue the year-book.
The idea of publishing a
yearbook last year was
brought before the Senate
by the Senate executive
board. "The decision was
made in a relatively short
time for that large of a
decision," stated Publow.
He said that no real study
of student desire for the
yearbook was made.
The literary magazine,
Passages, was incorpor-ated
in the Spire because
both were not financially
possible as separate pub-lications.
Sandi Covert,
who had been chosen as
the editor of Passages,
became the Spire editor.

This fall, written tests
will be given Monday
Sept. 28. Students who
pass the written portion
will be notified by PO by
Wednesday, Sept. 30.
Skills tests for those stu-dents
will be given Oct. 2.
The tests are now sco-redby

for the spring written
tests and skills tests res-pectively.
The Spire does not have
someone in an advisory
position. Publow said the
advisor was important as
an objective observer to
offer suggestions and
The financial figures for
the proposed budget were
presented to the '80-81
Senate by Senate President
Dave Lucas. The Spire was
budgeted the $12,000 ori-ginally
allocated to Pas-sages.
An additional
$12,000 was expected to
come from ad sales. This
gave a total budget pro-posal
of $24,000. The plan
was to distribute year-books
free to all students.

yearbook was near

Bethel spent over
$217,000 on renovations
and repairs on housing
this summer.
Nelson Dorm has acquir-ed
a $44,000 roof as well
as new carpeting and fresh
paint in every room.
Fountain Terrace, the
only Bethel-owned, off-campus
housing, has seen
quite a few improvements
since last year. Two of the
buildings, 691 and 799,
have new hot-water heat-ers.
According to Rod
Long, director of housing,
this system should allow
the hot water supply to
last through the 6 a.m.

Fountain Terrace has al-so

other expenses including

This added up to an ex-pected
cost of $23,650,

The financial problem
came with the ad sales.
Rather than the proposed
income of $12,000, sales
totaled $3,000. Brice Rus-sell,

m seeks community's desire
ask questions about Spire
Every year,it seems, some major issue confronts the
Bethel community. This year, the community is faced
with determining the fate of Spire, Bethel's yearbook.
In order to make this decision students and adminis-trators
must ask probing questions.
Probably the biggest problem of this year's Spire
has been money. The 1980 - 1981 Spire is $9000 over
the budget. Last fall Spire was put into gear with very
little in-depth study or planning. Now money is com-ing
out of the 1981 - 1982 Spire budget to pay last
year's debt. Dona Amann, Spire editor and Mark Pu-blow,
student body president, seem certain that a
Spire can make it if there is enough student support to
help provide the money—Still, there are questions that
need to beca-sked, studies that need to be made.
How much does a yearbook cost at Bethel? How
much should a yearbook cost at Bethel? How much
does a yearbook cost at other schools? What is the
Bethel student's cost? Do Bethel students want a
Spire? It is easy to say Yes now before the money is
forked out. Will students want it next fall when it
comes out and they have to pay?
Why did the Spire cost samuch this year? Why is it
coming out in November instead of the original Sep-tember?
Can the very late distribution of Spire be
avoided in the future? Does Spire have the support of
the Student Senate and the administrtion? If not, why
not? If so, why so?
A yearbook can be valuable in stimulating memo-ries
of Bethel and the time spent here. Yet, will it sti-mulate
memories and how often? Is a photographic re-cord
of a school year worth some $20,000? Twenty
thousand dollars could be a down payment on a new

Klaudt A quest for success; ip 00,4 one person's journey
by Kraig Klaudt
It was easy to see the foolishness of building one's life
around the goal of becoming a rock star or a millionaire.
"That's not where it is at," they warned me, "those
people are really unhappy, actually it is all emptiness.
You can only be successful with Christ."
So I sold my guitar, donated my ten shares of Taco
Bell stock to World Vision and became a Christian, for
that is where success is. Only upon hitting the scene of
the saved did I find it was B.J. Thomas who bought my
guitar and my church which had controlling interest in
Taco Bell. "It's okay," they explained, "so long as you let
Christ work in- these things."
What do they mean? They'll allow the Savior to play
the keyboards for B.J. or prepare burritos?
The Other: "I was thinking more about the selling of
The Man: "Show me a verse where it says I can't sell
drugs to kids."
The Other: "Scripture doesn't speak to that specifically,
although it can be implied through other statements
about the body being the temple of God and how we are
not to harm others."
The Man: "So Scripture says some things on what suc-cess
may or may not be, if only to suggest some options
that are more desirable than others?"
The Other: "Yes, I guess so."
The Man: "What does it say about spending one's entire
life baking Hostess Twinkies in a factory . . .in an
affluent society . . . in a world that is starving? Could
that be the most successful thing for me to do?"
The Other: "Twinkies ...ah...I can't find that word in
my concordance."

in various mission fields

Early this summer, a
group consisting mostly of
Bethel art students toured
seven' European,countries
studying some of the most
famous art in the world.
Dale Johnson, associate
professor of art, led the
19-member group for three
weeks through England,
France, Austria, Switzer-land,
the Netherlands and
Belgium, visiting museums
in every major city.
Highlights of the stu-dents'
tour included: Leo-nardo
da Vinci's "Mona
Lisa," in Paris; da Vinci's
"Last Supper," in Milan,
Italy; Michelangelo's "Da-vid,"
in Florence, Italy, and
Rembrandt's "Night
Watch" in Amsterdam,
The tour was a summer
school course taken for
credit by most of the stu-dents.
Class members had
to keep a daily journal,
visit museums and write a
research paper after re-turning
to the U.S.
The purpose of the
course was "to develop
appreciation for the great
art treasures of European
art centers," said Johnson.
The course focused on art
from the Renaissance to
the rococo period.
The tour members were
busy. Johnson gave daily
lectures or orientation
sessions on each day's
events. Daily, the group
toured an important mu-seum,
church, artist's stu-dio
or art gallery. After-noons
were free for stu-dents
to visit the muse-urns
they wished.
The group lodged in
economy hotel and youth
hostels. Accommodations
were "really good, in in-teresting
places," Johnson
said. One night, en route
from Paris to Milan, the
travelers reserved "couch-ette
cars" and spent the
night, crowded but com-fortable,
on the train.
Cost for the tour was
$1550 which covered lodg-ing,
most transportation
and two meals a day. In
addition, the students each

For Billings, the summer
allowed her to see first-hand
what the mission-ary's
job is by seeing the
spiritual needs in France
and Europe. "France is a

explained. "The country is
predominantly Catholic

result the process of evan-gelism
is very slow. Seeing

how I had been warned that there was no successful

Bloody bricks leave
lasting broken stains
by Doug Berkey
They told me that "Bethel is People". I soon discov-ered
that there were plenty of bricks mixed in with the
Bricks appear in two forms: the ones that sit on top
of each other are called walls, individual bricks have
just enough life in them to walk arouond.
Most people walk around the walls during their
four-year term. Sometimes, they make a wrong turn in
the dark and smash into a wall. They recover quickly,
thank God, and continue their journey forgetting that
there ever was a wall. They leave, unaffected by the
walls, and the walls unchanged by them. Some of us,
though, keep making "wrong" turns. We just can't
seem to flow with the people who never even see the
walls, even though the walls guide their movement.
Perhaps you have noticed, but there are quite a few
bloodstains on the walls at Bethel. Some of teh blood
is old and dry. Some of it is fresh and moist. It seems-that
people play favorites wih the walls. Some walls
are more bloodstained than others.
A lot of my blood is on those walls.
At first, unaware or perhaps carelessly, I smashed
my head on a wall—a wall I had never seen before.
Then I wondered why the wall was there. I have yet to
understand why. I began to doubt if the walls even
had a right to be there. Naively, I started butting my
head against it, trying to break it down. I argued, I c a -
joled, I even tried explosives. Still, it stood firm.
One day, as I paused for rest from the pounding, I
noticed tht there was someone next to me, also pound-ing.
Our blood was running together, and yet we had
never noticed. Together we rested and then began
work on a certain part of the wall together. In our
struggle we became friends. I also began to notice tht
there were more walls all around us and-a few people
pounding away at each one. I spoke with them and be-gan
to know them. Their touch healed my wounds and
gave me strength to keep on with my struggle.
I became frustrated when I realized that just as the
wall seemed about ready to fall, the walking bricks
would run to reinforce it. The walking bricks have an
unusual characteristic, they only crumbled when
along. Together they were invincible. These bricks
used to be people but for some reason they had
changed into bricks. Perhaps for lack of love.
Despite the attempts of my friends and I, we just
couldn't break down the walls. Discouraged, some
left. Others stay on and their drops of blood are turn-ing
into pools as the life drains out of them. I see them
on their knees—still pounding. God help them. I have
given in. My head is sore and needs some rest. Most of
my friends have left and I miss their healing touch.
I see new people running into the same walls and
beginning their struggle. They stop me as I make my
way towards the exit door and ask if it is worth it. I re-ply:"
Yes, I learned to love. I can only pity those who
never see the walls and who never will."
Dedicated to: Bonita, Dale J., Tony, Joy, Larry, Don
P., Jerry, Lorelei, Kathy, Mark C.,, Lori, Lynn, Sara,
Stu L., Greg, Becky G., John, Leslie, and especially
Sonya, Sam and Teresa. To these friends and those
who have already left: May God's peace heal your
wounds and strengthen you.

Nursing program dropped
by Debbie Sayler
As Bethel College's nurs-ing
program begins its
third year in 1982, the
nursing program offered
by Mounds-Midway
School of Nursing will be
coming to an end.
Bethel has a unique rela-tionship
with Mounds-
Midway. For the last six
years, several Bethel facul-ty
members have taught
liberal arts and science
courses to Mounds-Mid-way
Mounds-Midway is one
of the last three-year nur-sing
programs left in Min-nesota.
Because two-year
programs and four-year
baccalaureate programs
are now preferred by nurs-ing
students, Mounds-
Midway is discontinuing
its program.
Bethel will be offering a
four-year baccalaureate
This fall, two Bethel
faculty members, Paul
Johnson, assistant profes-sor
of sociology and Ran-dy
Johnson, assistant pro-fessor
of philosophy, are
teaching at Mounds-Mid-way.
Paul Johnson, who teach-es
"Introduction to Sociol-ogy"
at both Bethel and
Mounds-Midway, said,
"The Mounds-Midway
students get an added per-spective
from my class. I
think it gives them a break
from nursing, nursing,
Johnson said Mounds-
Midway students are dif-ferent
than many Bethel
students. "They know
what they want to do with
their lives," he stated.
Dr. Tricia Brownlee, di-rector
of academic pro-grams
at Bethel, agrees
that Mounds-Midway stu-dents
are more sure of
what they want to do with
their lives than'many Beth-el
students. "I think it's
interesting for teachers to
work with students who
are more vocational than
Bethel students," Brown-lee
Mounds-Midway stu-dents
can receive credit at
Bethel for classes they
have taken from Bethel
professors if they later
choose to attend Bethel
College. Mounds-Midway
students are also eligible
to take part in Bethel ac-tivities.
According to Brownlee,
both teachers and students
have liked the arrange-ment
between Bethel and
Mounds-Midway. "I think
it's a very positive rela-tionship
that everyone has
appreciated," said Brown-lee.
Seeing and experiencing
the poverty and physical
needs of Mexicans made
senior Maria Lopez glad
she went on SMP.
"I chose Mexico because
I myself am Spanish and I
know the people are very
oppressed," Lopez ex-plained.
Lopez lived in
Mexico City, Mexico,
teaching Bible school,
visiting with the people
and doing evangelistic
church services on Sun-days.
"It was really hard to
adjust to the poverty.
Many people live in
wooden shacks. Some
shacks are like cardboard.
I myself didn't live in a
very wealthy section.
There was a small room
not too far from mine that
housed five people, a bed,
a refrigerator, toilet and
table. And those condi-tions
are good—sometimes
there are as many as 14
people in a room!"
Since returning from
Mexico, Lopez has found ok,......".",:4.4,"
herself very conscious of
waste in the U.S. "I do
small things now like
turning off the water while
brushing my teeth. I don't
complain now about re-sources
because I have no
reason to. Americans have
a lot to be thankful for."
Another student who
went on SMP, Marlys
Johnson, found the exper-ience
of poverty changed
her attitude about re-sources
in the U.S.
"I think people need to
re-evaluate their life-styles,"
said Johnson who
spent her summer in a
Mississippi slum working
with Voice of Calvary
Ministries. Johnson work-ed
with black kids teach-ing
Bible classes.
"While I was down there
and saw the culture of
poverty, I started to realize
there are many things we
think we need in America
so we consume more than
necessary," Johnson said.
According to Johnson,
clothes and food are two
main items taken for
granted and wasted by
Bethel students.
"We need to use them
more wisely and crea-tively
so we can let other
people have the oppor-tunity
to eat one good meal
a day or wear clothes they
The kids Johnson
worked with made a great
impact on her. "They
taught me what it is to be
excited about Jesus and to
trust him. I've never seen
kids to excited for spirit-ual
Johnson would like to
see more people get in-volved
in economic devel-opment,
evangelizing or
social action. "If only
people would realize the
impact they can have if
they get involved as
Adjustments were an
essential part of all three
students' summers. "I don't
see how anyone could go
to a different country and
not experience culture
shock," stated Billings.
"For me, the language
barrior was frustrating as
well as people's attitudes
towards others and God."
Lopez found the poverty
very difficult to accept,
knowing what she had
back home. "You learn to
accept the conditions and
roll with the punches. I
was very open to learn
what they had to teach
Johnson had to adjust to
the strong presence of
prejudice. "Even though
slavery happened a hun-dred
years ago the condi-tion
of it in the people is
still there. In some health
clinics black people still
walk in the back door and
in some restaurants whites
sit on one side, blacks on
the other."
All three students are
very thankful for the
chance to live in a different
environment and have con-sidered
going back. "If not
next summer, I plan to go
to France after graduate
school," commented Bill-ings.

Lau chooses Bethel over Africa
by Ellie Feleen
"I really feel welcome
and wanted," said Bill Lau,
one of the new mathe-matics
professors at Bethel
this year.
Lau was set to spend
this year in Africa after
applying at five univer-sities
in Nigeria. But when
Bethel called him iri for an
interview, he accepted.
The result? A new mathe-matics
professor and also
a women's cross-country
coach for the 1981 season.

as they competed against
three large state colleges.
Univesity of Minnesota-

stressed the fact that this
year's team is young, with
only one senior and four
returning runners. He is
excited about the improve-ments
he has seen in his
team so far. "Last year at
this meet Bethel was 6th

I was eight years old when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa brought Major League Baseball back to life.
Four years after the 1994 baseball season was cut short by a player strike, America was still trying to rebuild its relationship with its national pastime. But baseball had a lot of work to do — it had, after all, walked out on the country, and you don't just walk back in and expect everything to be fine again — you have to rebuild trust.
You have to make people believe again.
Big Mac and Swingin' Sammy made us believe. By sending baseballs farther than anyone had ever seen, they made us once again remember why we fell in love with baseball, and why, despite its many flaws, it still had a place in our hearts.
Of course, I didn't need much convincing. By 1998, my love affair with baseball had reached full bloom. My first season of fandom — 1995 — came at a time when many lifelong baseball fans were too bitter to even look at a box score.
That was fine — more box scores for me.
Football, basketball, and hockey were all well and good, but baseball had the numbers. With twice as many regular season games as basketball and hockey (and ten times as many as football), baseball statistics are in a league of their own for number-freaks like me.
And they are endless. Once I got bored with ERA, WHIP, and OPS, I discovered sabermetrics: WAR, xFIP, BABIP, and DIPS. Heaven on Earth.
But in 1998, only one stat mattered: HR.
As much as I pored over the sports page every morning, it was nothing compared to my obsession during the waning months of summer in 1998. I made my parents mail me box scores at summer camp. I had to know — did Sammy hit one last night? Did Mac?
I remember almost coming to tears on the night when McGwire blasted #62. It was sensational. You couldn't write a better story. And I had seen it all. I had seen history be made.
Turns out, I hadn't seen anything yet.
We all know what happened next. It soon became obvious (though in retrospect, wasn't it always?) that McGwire had not gained those tree log arms simply through discipline and hard work. That the "pop" in Sammy's bat had a little something extra behind it.
Jose Canseco's Juiced. BALCO. The Mitchell Report.
America had let baseball back in the house, and in return it came back and hurt us even worse than before.
Slowly the phrase "steroid era" came into the popular baseball lexicon. I can safely say that my first true heartbreak was when I realized the full implications of such an era in baseball.
It wasn't so much that the greatest players that I had watched growing up — Bonds, Clemens, Palmiero, Rodriguez, Ramirez, Piazza — had been pulling the wool over our collective eyes. It took me awhile to realize that that wasn't the source of my deep anger and sadness.
Because it's not that I don't understand why they did steroids. Professional athletes are, by nature, insanely competitive. And they are also, by design (see my last column), worth an absurd amount of money. With so much money and pride at stake, it's no surprise that baseball players constantly seek ways to make themselves stand out from the crowd. Since the game began, teams and players have utilized illegal methods of gaining an advantage, from throwing spitballs to stealing signs. We're not dealing with a "new breed" of unscrupulous athlete, just a new generation with more extreme advantages available.
And, I can't say for sure what I would have done in their shoes. No one can.
Think about this: you must take an exam that you know ahead of time will be graded on a curve. You also know that at least half of the class will have answer sheets with them. What do you do?
Do you take the test honestly, knowing that the best of your abilities will be judged against those who have given themselves an unfair edge, and risk having your B+ performance turn into a C- when placed on the curve? Or do you cheat, like everyone else, to pull a decent grade on the test?
Now let's say you get $5 for a C, and $5,000 for an A.
And you've been training for the chance to take this test for your entire life.
It's not an easy question, and baseball players in the steroid era found themselves with an almost impossible choice: juice to stay relevant, or refuse and fade into obscurity?
What would you do?
So while it's upsetting that it happened at all, I don't find myself interested in condemning the players for succumbing to pressures that no one among us can say for sure we would have resisted.
What really broke my heart was that I realized I could never look at baseball statistics the same way again.
When Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's single season home run record in 1961, people wanted to put an asterisk next to his record because the season had been extended by eight games that year. There must be some permanent indication, they argued, that Maris had an advantage that Ruth did not have.
Should we put an asterisk on every stat sheet from the last 20 years? Do we wipe the record books clean of every player from the last two decades who has been connected to steroids? How do we judge the careers of those who were never implicated in the steroids scandal? How do we judge the careers of those who were?
Barry Bonds was a Hall of Famer before he ever took steroids, and he knew it. But he couldn't stand to see juiceheads McGwire and Sosa in the spotlight while he quietly hit 40 home runs and stole 40 bases. So he gave America what we clearly wanted: a hulking beast jacking balls into the upper deck every other night. Like most things in his career, he did that better than anyone else in the history of baseball. He now owns the record for home runs in a single season (73) and in a career (762).
He still may not make the Hall of Fame.
We've already seen that would-be Hall of Famer Rafael Palmiero will likely never make it — that finger wag was a mistake ("I have never intentionally used steroids. Never. Ever. Period," he told Congress sternly, five months before testing positive).
McGwire and Sosa will certainly never make it. Their heart-stopping 1998 season will always be a bittersweet memory for me. For many others, it will serve as a constant reminder to never trust your heart to a professional athlete.
There are countless players with Hall-worthy numbers who will likely be left out due to their involvement with steroids. There are likely hundreds more who could have made it, had they not been judged against juicers their entire career.
Nothing about the situation is fair. Steroid users and non-users alike will suffer the consequences.
But as we enter the supposedly post-steroids era, it is we, the fans, who must sort through it all — the disappointment, the anger, the betrayal — to determine who, if anyone, still deserves our respect.
And that's easier said than done, because there's no sabermetric in existence that can measure the impact steroids have made on the game of baseball.
But maybe that's a good thing — that's the first stat I can think of that I don't think I would want to see.

Lipids Respond Well to Switch From Boosted PI to Rilpivirine/Tenofovir/Emtricitabine (Complera), Study Finds
October 8, 2013
Significant improvements in lipid values were seen among HIV-infected patients who switched from a boosted protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral regimen to the fixed-dose combination of rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine (Complera), according to research presented at IDWeek 2013.
The SPIRIT study was primarily designed to establish the non-inferiority of rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine compared to regimens consisting of a PI, ritonavir (Norvir) and two NRTIs; favorable 24-week data on that front were presented last year. One of the study's secondary aims was to assess volunteers' relative change in fasting lipids -- specifically total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides -- depending on whether they switched from the PI-based therapy to rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine. At IDWeek, Pablo Tebas, M.D., presented encouraging 48-week data on that question.
To quickly recap the study construction: SPIRIT is a randomized, open-label, phase 3b study involving a total of 476 patients who began the study with a viral load below 50 copies/mL for at least the past six months while on a boosted-PI regimen. (The PI in the regimen was usually atazanavir [Reyataz], lopinavir or darunavir [Prezista]; the NRTIs in the regimen were usually tenofovir/emtricitabine [Truvada] or abacavir/lamivudine [Epzicom].)
A third of the volunteers (159) were randomized to continue their boosted-PI regimen for 24 weeks, then switch to rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine; the rest of the volunteers (317) switched to rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine immediately. Snapshots of both arms were taken at 24 and 48 weeks to assess CD4+ cell count, viral load, lipid values and other data.
This was a relatively diverse study cohort: Median age was in the low 40s, roughly 88% were male and 77% were white (the rest were about evenly split between African American and Latino). This was also a pretty healthy group: Mean CD4+ cell count at baseline was 576 cells/mm3 in the immediate-switch group and 600 in the delayed-switch group.
A snapshot (intent-to-treat) analysis at 48 weeks showed demonstrable fasting lipid reductions among all volunteers, with similar changes among those who immediately switched to rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine and those whose switch was delayed until week 24. Most of the reductions occurred within the first 24 weeks of the switch. "You see improvements in lipids that are similar to what you will obtain by starting a statin," Tebas said.
From a clinical-relevance standpoint, the even more noteworthy findings may be regarding the proportion of patients with high or borderline-high dyslipidemia. Here, Tebas presented 24-week data only, comparing them to baseline.
Among patients who delayed their regimen switch, the proportion with undesirable lipid levels remained steady, while among patients who immediately switched, the proportions shifted dramatically (P < .001 in all cases within the chart below, when comparing between study arms at week 24):
No significant differences in changes were seen for HDL cholesterol.
In response to a question from the audience, Tebas noted that the use of lipid-lowering agents had been permitted for patients enrolled in the study, but that his recollection was that a "very small proportion" -- less than 10% -- of volunteers were receiving such treatment. The number of patients taking lipid-lowering drugs were similar between the two groups.
It's worth keeping in mind that these are clinical trial data (real-world mileage always may vary), and that the study was funded by the company marketing rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine in the U.S. In addition, although some volunteers were receiving statins through the normal course of their health care, this study did not in any other way seek to use interventions that may have yielded reductions in fasting lipids without switching therapy. Further, potential lipid effects are but one of many considerations a clinician must take into account when determining whether it is worthwhile to switch a patient on suppressive antiretroviral therapy to a new regimen.
Nonetheless, these findings provide further support for the favorable lipid profile of rilpivirine/tenofovir/emtricitabine relative to some of the more commonly prescribed boosted-PI regimens.

NASD Reminds Members That Fee-Based Compensation Programs Must Be Appropriate
Fee-based programs typically charge a customer a fixed fee or percentage of assets under management in lieu of transaction-based commissions. While NASD recognizes the benefits these programs offer for many customers, they are not appropriate in all circumstances. NASD therefore reminds members that they must have reasonable grounds for believing that a fee-based program is appropriate for a particular customer, taking into account the services provided, cost, and customer preferences.
Questions concerning this Notice should be directed to Philip Shaikun, Associate General Counsel, Office of General Counsel, Regulatory Policy and Oversight, at (202) 728-8451.

I only see added costs, which goes against the beowulf philosophy to care about the performance/cost ratio. On the other hand I must understand the generous support of the CTC by Microsoft as a way to compensate its poor presence in the Top 500 list ("see Windows can even do cluster computing"). Anyway it would be interesting if someone from Cornell with experience with this strange combination of Windows and HPC hardware would argue with factual information why it is so wonderful. Dan

Team USA in Vegas [7/21-26]
Posted July 29, 2008 - 12:21 PM
I got to meet the whole team. and a few others as well.
The first day, i just ran into the coaching staff.. it wasnt until the next morning that i got to see players. It was really fun. ALL the guys were incredible nice.. its amazing HOW different the guys are when no one's around.. which was almost everytime i met them. theyre ALL totally down to earth. maybe except Bron.
I watched them film a little of Road to Redeption. My favorite encounter was with Dwight Howard and Michael Redd. SUUUUUPER nice guys & hilarious. We gave Dwight gatorade before his work out and he totally appreciated it. you can see the gatorade bottle behind me in the picture.
uhm... TAYSHAUN PRINCE is HILARIOUS! haha. i was in the hotel casino and here comes Tayshaun. a family of 3 approaches him and goes, 'Tayshaun, can my son please have a picture with you. hes a huge fan' & Tayshaun refuses. The dad BEGS Tayshaun. Durant was there too.. so Tayshaun pushes the family next to Durant.. grabs the camera from the mom and goes, 'here, ill take the picture' :lol:
the next night, i spotted JKidd playing BalckJack at one of the tables. I wanted to talk to him so badly but im only 18. still underaged. argh. so i wrote him a note and gave it to my mom. she went up to him and gave it. haha. he was really appreciative and my mom said that everytime she saw him, he'd pull out the little note.
anyway. i ran into CP3, Dwade, Kobe and LeBron too many times that i was hiding from them. argh. i didnt want them to think i was stalking.. coz i wasnt.
i ran into: [excluding Team USA members]
Coach Pringles
Coach K
Craig Sager
Jim Hill
Hakim Warrick [rode the elevator with him]
LaMarcus Aldridge
Robin Love

Just for one day, heck, even one hour I would love to have Dwight Howard's body. I just can't imagine being that big and cut, being able to dunk with such ease and power. He also seems like a really cool guy to hang out with. I'd say I have a borderline man crush on him.
i love being a girl and loving the NBA. :lol:
we get double the fun.. we get to watch the hot players [kobe, sasha.. ect]
and still be able to enjoy the game
Dwight's body in person is hellllaaa huge. he looks bigger in person if u ask me

Can WebOS Rise Above Clouds of Skepticism?
Dec 13, 2011 8:45 AM PT
HP's decision to open source its webOS mobile operating system may have met with some early cheers last week from observers glad to see the company's indecision come to an end, but since then much of that relief has been increasingly tempered by sentiments of a darker kind.
"WebOS is doomed to fail" read one headline on Friday afternoon, for example.
"Open Sourcing The Platform Is The Death Of WebOS" agreed another over the weekend.
"Open-source webOS is dead on arrival" was one view expressed on Monday, followed soon afterward by "Open Source WebOS: A Win For Windows Phone?"
Much as many are relieved the technology won't be left to languish any longer, in other words, there's also considerable skepticism about the ultimate consequences of the move -- even among open source fans.
'The Burden of Proof Is on HP'
"By and large, the open source community has reacted with skepticism to the open-sourcing of webOS," RedMonk analyst Donnie Berkholz told LinuxInsider.
"We've seen the same thing happen before with Symbian, and it was a disaster, so the burden of proof is on HP to show that it's serious about this move," Berkholz explained.
From an open source perspective, the big question for webOS now "is whether HP's going to throw the code over the wall or work to build a community around it," he added.
"If it's the latter, then webOS stands a chance at a second life, whether it's within or outside of HP," Berkholz asserted. "If it's the former, the best legacy I could imagine is that portions of the code get reused elsewhere, instead of rotting as it would if it had stayed proprietary."
'A Big Question Mark'
Indeed, "I have a pretty mixed reaction," agreed Jay Lyman, a senior analyst with 451 Research.
There are several downsides to the move, Lyman told LinuxInsider. First is that "similar to Symbian, which was open sourced and then later reverted, webOS is facing a big question mark in terms of both developer and consumer interest."
That's where "most of the negative reaction to this comes from," he pointed out, and "HP didn't help by being unclear about its fate."
At least as significant, though, is the "really intense competition" webOS will face from Apple and Android, Lyman added.
'HP Knows About Linux'
On the upside, however, is that "unlike Symbian, webOS is based on Linux, so I think that may make open sourcing it easier than was the case for Symbian," Lyman said.
Also, "HP knows about supporting and certifying for Linux," he pointed out. "They didn't prove a whole lot of that with their indecision and communication about webOS, but HP is nevertheless a pretty big Linux supporter. That may help them."
Then, too, there's the fact that "before Android, every time someone talked about mobile Linux, everyone's eyes went into the back of their heads and they thought, 'here we go again,'" Lyman said. "There would be some excitement and developer interest, but it never really seemed to happen."
'That Counts for Something'
Android, of course, proved to be a different beast altogether, and it "paved a path in some way," Lyman said. "It proved that mobile Linux can work. So in that sense, it helps webOS."
There has even been a webOS product in the modern smartphone market -- the Palm Pre -- and "that counts for something," he added. "It shows there can be a device out there that is compelling to consumers."
In short, "the skepticism is understandable, but I do think there are some circumstances that give it hope," Lyman opined.
'It Can Move Forward'
Looking at the alternatives, then, "this is better for the software project and the odds of it living on," Lyman said. "It's better than selling it or reserving it as an intellectual property asset."
WebOS is "certainly facing an uphill battle," he acknowledged, and it might have ended up "yet another weapon in the patent wars."
However, "at least now that it's open source, it can move forward in a number of different ways," he concluded.
