Surf's Up for School Districts on the Web
Rutkowski, Kathleen, Multimedia Schools
The vast majority of these sites target two main audiences--teachers and the community.
[Editor's Note: URLs mentioned in the text of this article appear in The VOICES of the Web Honor Roll, page 80.]
As I write this column in June of 1997, more than four percent of the some 14,467 U.S. school districts have a reported Web presence. These 646 districts are scattered throughout the country. Nearly every state has an online school district Web site, but in terms of absolute numbers, the states of California, New York, Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey have the most reported school districts online.
When you consider that in September 1994, there were only four U.S. school districts with Web sites, this is rapid but not unexpected growth. Based on an analysis of statistics maintained by Gleason Sackman, the growth of school district Web sites increased significantly in 1996. In the same period of time, the number of school Web sites also increased significantly (see Figure 1). National programs such as Net-Day and massive media attention, in large part resulting from the Clinton/Gore emphasis on networking in education, all have factored into a significant increase in the number of schools that are now "wired" and connected to the World Wide Web. Educational leaders are acknowledging via these district Web sites the legitimate role that educational leaders and administrative offices must assume in helping staff, students, and parents keep informed about their educational programs, including their technology components.
School district Web sites share certain general characteristics. Most of these sites are created by the district technology department, although a few were created by students and teachers from the district and some by professional Web design companies. The vast majority of these sites target two main audiences--teachers and the community. They provide teachers with information about online curricular resources, state and local educational standards, and professional development opportunities. They also often provide information to prospective staff by announcing job vacancies and releasing information on employment criteria and needs. School district Web sites usually provide statistical information about school district student populations, including information regarding assessments, and typically they provide links, if not Web space, to individual schools in the district. Many sites also provide news about school board activities or other local political action impacting the operations of the system. In addition, some sites provide information for students to use in their homework as well as curricular resource links for homeschoolers.
Many school districts are turning to external contractors to assist them in their development of Web sites, network designs, and implementation plans. It is extremely important that these design companies work with district personnel in determining the nature and kind of information that is made available online. Not all school districts require external Web consulting and many of the sites highlighted in this article demonstrate outstanding technical and information presentation capabilities of inhouse district personnel.
There are many excellent district Web sites. A genuine treasure trove of information is available about educational organization, standards, politics, curriculum, and principles of management and administration. While the choices I made were difficult, the Web sites highlighted in this column have established a commanding presence on the World Wide Web and demonstrate an extremely effective use of Web technology for education.

Texas Ranchers To Gel Grains In Drought Areas DALLAS government offi- cial says grains probably will be made available soon to Texas farmers and cattlemen suffering from the drought.

o Information: Hazel Dell/Salmon Creek Business Association or Clark County Fire District 6.
Tony Ruestig finds the "Remember When" theme personally appropriate for this year's 48th annual Hazel Dell Parade of Bands.
Ruestig, who's working on a float for Twin Star Credit Union, said he remembers when he marched in the parade in 1976 and 1977 as a student at Jason Lee Middle School in Hazel Dell.
"I played the saxophone, and the saxophones were right up front," Ruestig said. "There was no room for mistakes."
Ruestig also remembers when — a few decades later — he got to watch his son, Joshua, march in the parade for Skyview High School.
"My father watched me, and I saw my son," Ruestig said. "It's a generational thing and a real community event. There are a lot of people who could have participated when they were in school that are now watching their grandkids in it."
The parade was first launched after area schools approached local businesses looking for an opportunity for school band kids to march in something besides football games, said Brad Lothspeich, co-chairman of the event.
"At the time, we had marching bands but no parades to march in, and this is still pretty much the only parade they can be in around this area," Lothspeich said. "We wanted to create the parade for the kids to have something to do near the end of the school year."
In 1964, the first parade launched with about 12 local bands and 60 other entries. By the 1980s, it had grown to about 20 local bands and 120 entries. And today, it has about 27 bands and 145 entries, he said.
"If it gets much bigger, I don't know where we're going to put everybody," Lothspeich said. "It just keeps getting better and better. It's not the Rose Parade, of course, but it's the biggest parade in Southwest Washington."
About 5,000 people are in the parade and around 20,000 show up to watch each year, if the weather is nice. The event costs about $14,000 to put together, through money donated by local sponsors, Lothspeich said.
This year, the parade is honoring its Hazel Dell sponsors by having three local business owners act as grand marshals: Mike Collins, Roy Sonney and Bob Kuzma.
"They've hung on through the good times and the bad, and we felt it was a good time to honor them," Lothspeich said.
Besides the bands and music, visitors will also see horses, pets, clowns, fire engines and floats. And before the event, when the parade section of Highway 99 closes to traffic, children are encouraged to make chalk drawings along the street.
"We might create a contest for that in the future, although not this year," Lothspeich said. "There's usually a lot of artwork in the street. It's great."
Ruestig and his co-workers at Twin Star Credit Union have been working on the idea for their float since January. The company's Hazel Dell office has a friendly competition with the Clark Regional Wastewater District each year to see who can come up with the best display, he said.
"A lot of it we put together after work and on weekends," Ruestig said. "It's fun to see how it all comes out. Of course, the winner gets bragging rights."
One day, Ruestig would like to see future generations of his family in the parade, he said.
"If my son has children, they'll probably be in the parade, too," he said. "It's a tradition for so many families."

While wind and rain whipped around the Puget Sound area on Saturday, snow piled up in the mountains, with Mount Baker expected to get as much as 18 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
While wind and rain whipped around the Puget Sound area on Saturday, snow piled up in the mountains, with Mount Baker expected to get as much as 18 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
The website for the Mount Baker Ski Area trumpeted the change in conditions, declaring: "Winter has definitely returned!"
But while skiers could take heart in the weather, folks in the lowlands found less to celebrate.
Wind gusts in the Puget Sound region reached as high as 48 mph on Saturday afternoon, said Jay Neher, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Those winds caused all kinds of problems for utility workers, who were dispatched from one power outage to another in Western Washington, to pull branches off wires and reset circuits.
On Saturday morning, about 7,000 customers lost power in Whatcom County when falling limbs caused three substations to trip off, said Dorothy Bracken, a spokeswoman for Puget Sound Energy. Those customers regained power within about two hours. Later in the day, the utility dealt with smaller outages in Woodinville, Mount Vernon, Port Orchard and Cle Elum, among other towns scattered throughout PSE's coverage area.
In Snohomish County, winds knocked a branch onto a power line at about 3 p.m., tripping the circuitry and causing a power outage for about 16,000 customers, said Neil Neroutsos, spokesman for the Snohomish County Public Utility District. Those customers, mostly in Lynnwood, north Edmonds and Maltby, lost power for a half-hour before the PUD was able to remove the limb and reset the circuit.
A smaller outage hit North Seattle on Saturday afternoon, with 765 customers losing power in a pocket south of Northeast 125th Street and west of Lake City Way Northeast, according to Seattle City Light.
With local gusts anticipated to reach as high as 50 mph, the National Weather Service put a wind advisory in effect until 9 p.m. Saturday for a stretch that included Everett, Seattle, Bremerton and Tacoma.
The National Weather Service also declared a winter storm warning, in effect until 6 a.m. Sunday, for the northern and central Cascades, including the mountain passes. The northern Cascades were expected to get dumped with 12 to 18 inches of snow, while Stevens and Snoqualmie passes were looking to get 2 to 6 inches, mostly Saturday night.
The forecast for Sunday promises better weather for the Puget Sound region. There's a 30 percent chance of rain, with winds dropping to about 10 mph.
On Monday, rain is likely to return, with winds of between 10 and 25 mph and a high temperature near 50.

Rode the puch today.

Nashbar is having a 20% off sale on Continental if you guys are interested.
Going to order a cassette now. Like to see what the XXX fans think. I have 11-28, and I don't use the 11 or the 28. 12-25 or the 12-27? What do you guys think? It's 10 speed. I'm mostly in the middle cogs, I think having the 12-25 might improve my self-esteem on the bike so I don't look as much of wuss since I'm rarely on the bottom 3 If I'm the 15 for 12-27, then I'm 4 cogs up.
Maybe the 12-27 wouldn't be so bad since it has the 16 I want and 27 just in case I wuss out on the occasional steeper hills.
12-25 Tooth (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25)

If I like the 12-25 I'll either give it to some chump on 41 for free, they pay for shipping or I'll just donate it to a local family shop for someone who can't afford a new cassette, it's still looks like it has few thousand miles left.
PlanetCyclery on Ebay, $43 with shipping, ordered few things from them before, should be here by Friday/Saturday.

Apparently, I tweaked both of my ankles in Monday's Clipless Near Death Escapade. So they hurt.
And apparently everyone is having the same issue I am with water bottle crashes, based upon the number of new threads showing injuries. I was either lucky, or have mad skills. I could have listed magic as the third option, but Missus H has the market cornered on that.
LAJ has one too. And now possibly Roll, only you can know. In your case it would be a magic rain bike. As I understand it, those are very rare.
Tweaked ankles I guess are better than a broken collar bone. But still, too bad about the sore ankles.
...last big crash at speed for me was losing a pedal when I hit a pothole.
I went down quicker than it takes to tell it, and ended up in the UCDavis ER,
with a bunch of people asking me if I knew how I got there.
Not my best memory of a bicycle adventure, that's fer sure.

I'm off the bike until I can get my Synvisc shots. Oh well. Right knee in relative vapor lock. After I get the shots it's a couple of weeks to recover, a week on pain meds after I get the initial reaction to the shots which is rather nasty, etc.
Getting old does suck.
Oh look what I found while doing some spring cleaning today. Now I have a whole gig of extra storage available. OH BOY!!
Don't be jealous.

Monks, soldiers and thieves by BricksandStonesWatch

This is the desolated church of Our Lady of the Wormwood called Panagia Absinthiotissa in Greek, located in the northern part of Cyprus ruled by the Turkish authorities. It was probably constructed in the Byzantine period, around the 12th C. as a religious centre of a large Orthodox monastery which continued to function under catholic crusader and the Venetian rules. In later years, when Cyprus was conquered by the Ottoman Empire the site was abandoned and left as a ruin until the 19th century when art historians visited in for the first time and recorded its surviving treasures. Among them was for example a tombstone of a Venetia lady who probably supported the Orthodox monks financially and in exchange was allowed to be buried in their church. The ruined church and surrounding monastic structures were thoroughly restored and reconstructed in 1960s when Cyprus obtained independence and Orthodox monks were invited to live in Panagia Absinthiotissa once again. It was a big project at a time but its success was short-lived. When inter-communal violence broke on Cyprus and the Turkish Army invaded the island in 1974 the monks were expelled and fled south. After Turkish soldiers left the site, the church and its nearby refectory remained unprotected and open to thieves who stripped it of everything which could be of any value and destroyed the rest. All that is left today are bare walls stripped of frescoes and covered with modern graffiti...The whole building is full of filth, empty bottles, cans, toilet paper etc. but still, to my mind at least, it represents an important monument, worthy of interest, care and another restoration.
A Beautiful historic church!
i am very glad you think so! Thank you very much for taking the time to comment on it! Cheers!
(great story, I think I visited it when my father took me to see cyprus, he was born in Nicosia before the invasion
Great capture! The Church and the landscape behind it are fantastic. What a tragedy that it is taken over by vandals!
I think you would like Cyprus a lot - there are numerous Roman, Greek and gothic monuments there, frescoes and mosaics have been stolen but bare walls themselves can still preserve some beauty, plus in Famagusta there are some Syrian frescoes preserved! If only the political situation on the island would be better - there was a chance for unification few years ago but it failed....Still, thank you for the comment, as always - I appreciate it!
Thanks for the tip. Cyprus sounds very interesting indeed. Sad about the political situation, naturally.
...story.. and great compose.Thanks.
I am glad this caught your attention - thank you very much for taking the time to comment - I appreciate it!
...Thanks again for you.
Such sites are similar to the wounds .. wounds of history. Nations and cultures miscommunication ...
The Poles and Lithuanians have their own common history - a painful, sometimes glorious, sometimes - basest. And anti-heroes, and there were heroes on both sides; moreover, there was a time when it was difficult to understand what citizenship is and what - nationalism.

I actually saw this in person several years ago. You captured the felling of the place quite nicely.
Hi Lori! Sorry for late response and thank you for the comment! It see you know eastern Mediterranean very well, it is a fascinating region, I wish it would be a bit cheaper to travel there from central and north-western Europe To be honest I found most of the places in northern Cyprus quite depressing (except Famagusta which is an amazing city and luckily it is not as damaged as most Greek medieval sites...) but I did not want this to be visible on this photo... Rather, I wanted to show that the monastery can be beautiful again. Thank you very much for another kind comment - I appreciate them (and once again sorry for not responding earlier!)
No problem about the response time, I am really bad at it myself! As to the Greeks not maintaining or refurbishing their wonderful medieval and much older sites, I could not agree with you more! I found it very strange that they would let things decay to such a degree without trying to preserve them for posterity's sake! If you thing the Greeks are bad, found Budapest Hungary to be much worse!
I am glad you are not offended, a few times someone wrote me an angry note for not responding to their comments in time and now I am worried about it. About the decay of historical monuments, of course Greece and Cyprus are struggling with financial difficulties so budgets of cultural institutions are being cut which may have negative impact on the managing of sites. However in general, Greece and Cyprus are taking care of their heritage quite well, students can visit museums in Greece for free which is amazing given that I often had to spent quite a lot of money for tickets. Entering Hagia Sophia in Istanbul for example is quite expensive. Especially if you travel with your partner. Sites in Israel are also very expensive to visit so I think Greece is actually doing quite well. The destructio of monuments in northern Cyprus is,, unfortunately caused by the Turks, especially the Turkish military. I like Turks a lot and they often have been very friendly to me but to be honest, at least on the level of the state, they do not care about historical heritage, I could write a whole essay on it. In Turkey for example there is no ministry of culture - just a department in the ministry of Tourism. The monastery on this photo was destroyed by the Turkish forces and this is the fate shared by many Christian sites in the north - they are not protected and most of their frescoes or movable artifacts have been destroyed or stolen. I am not sure what the situation in Hungary is but on Cyprus the destruction of heritage is unfortunately, taking place mainly because Turkish authorities either lack many to put an end to it, or actively participate in it. There are some Turks who try to change it, for example the previous authorities in Famagusta, but overall, there is still much that needs to be done.
Anyway, sorry for the longish rant, and thank you once again for taking your time to write and read comments - I appreciate it a lot!
Anyway, sorry for the longish rant, and thank you once again for taking your time to write and read comments - I appreciate it a lot!
I have only seen a small part of Turkey and that was a long time ago. It is very sad that so much of the historical landmarks are being destroyed from either neglect, greed, or war! What will be left for future generations to enjoy and learn from? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I've seen a church like this somewhere in Thessaloniki, cramped between modern high-rise flats. Looks much better like this!
Hi Hansmar! Thank you for the comment and I am sorry for taking so long to reply. Thessaloniki is a unique place in Greece as it is the only major, Byzantine city left in the borders of modern Greece. Athens and other modern Greek cities were minor settlements in medieval period and only Thessaloniki can claim to be a proper Byzantine metropolis similar to the great Byzantine cities like Antioch. Even though most of its old town was destroyed by fire, a high number of late antique and medieval churches survive there, including the only Byzantine medieval bath house the type of which probably served as prototype for later Ottoman baths (at least that's what I read in one of the articles on it).... Anyway, sorry for such a long response, I visited Thessaloniki recently and I am still under strong impression of that place. Once again, thank you for the comment and sorry for the late reply!
Another tragic story from Cyprus...
Hi!Thank you for the comment and I apologize for taking so long to reply, I was out of Europe for some time and had little tie for DA...Unfortunately, this is the fate of many historical monuments in Northern Cyprus, a lot of work, money and cooperation is needed to restore and protect what is left of the rich heritage of the region - this can be done and I know people who undertake such works but it takes a lot of time and effort even to obtain permission and funding to restore and protect a single fresco - not to mention entire church or monastery - anyway, thank you for the comment -- I am glad this caught your attention and once again, sorry for the late reply!
How sad :'/ the picture is beautiful though. I hate it when vandals attack historical sites
Your comment is very true. Once destroyed, cultural heritage is lost for ever and no reconstruction or model can make up for it. Still, I am glad this image caught your attention - thank you for taking your time to write a comment - I appreciate it!
I am glad you think so! Thank you for the comment, Northern Cyprus is full of beautiful places but the political situation needs to improve on the island, there was much suffering there in the past and the process of mutual forgiveness will not take place imminently. It is a great pity...Anyway, thanks again and sorry for late response!
Beautiful place and beautiful image. I love it!
It is very sad, but desolate, destroyed places do have some intriguing look and atmosphere about them. Still, I would prefer to see this monastery in a better condition, the exterior of the church looks more or less ok but the interior was very depressing... stolen frescoes, old furniture and rubbish, empty bottles etc.... Anyway, thank you very much for the comment - I am glad this coought your attnetion (also I apologise for the late response)
Thank you for such detailed information and historical perspective.
Thank you very much for taking your time to read it - I am very glad this cought your attention and you cared to leave comment - thank you again and sorry for late response!
..what a pity, such a peaceful place and interesting building ..
Yes it is... unfortunately many sites across the Middle East, including North Cyprus, have suffered the same fate... On Cyprus, the problem is that the status of these structures is still disputed so no one can invest any money in restoration becouse it is uncertain who actually owns them. Also, in many cases Greeks from the south are not very happy about allowing Turks to restore Byzantine or Crusader structures becouse that would mean indirect recognizing of Northen Cyprus as a ountry... Anyway, thank you very much for the comment! I am glad that photo from my gallery cought your attention! Thanks again!
peristerona ... ? looks like that one, the same pattern.
Hi! sorry for late response! Ruins of this monastery are a bit away from peristerona, at least from the one near Nicosia, I read somewhere that there are at least two other villages by that name in Northern Cuprus but they are even further away. Which one do you mean? Unfortunately I have not had a chance to visit any of them but the general pattern of abandoned, Byzantine churches is common to many sites in NC... Anyway, thank you very much for the comment! I am glad this cought your attention!
Your description of this building is common of many in the north of the island. The muslims have no respect for any religion other than their own, or at least that is how it appears. There are ransacked and desecrated buildings like this all over the TRNC, it is disgraceful. The RoC allow mosques on this side, and many have even been restored, but this is not the case in the north.
Hi! Thank you for the comment! I would not generalize about all Muslims but I agree that sometimes one can get an impression that cultural monuments of other religions are not respected and protected sufficiently in countries with Muslim majorities, especially in the Middle East. Obviously, this saddens me greatly as I think it is common sense that every cultural monument should be protected adequately and adherents of different religions should not be persecuted. It is a pity that it is not always so… Also, I agree that mosques on the recognized side of Cyprus function properly; the medieval Augustinian monastery in the south side of Nicosia is a mosque now although it still is essentially a beautiful gothic church. The example of Northern Cyprus, however, is more complicated than that because for the most part the local, Turkish authorities are not opposed to restoration of the medieval monuments in the north but because of political tensions, the south blocks all attempts at organizing restoration campaigns. Couple of years ago there was an American sponsor who wanted to secure the chapter house in the Bella Pais Abbey (it is in danger of collapse) and was willing to invest more than a million dollars in the project, but the south blocked this… Apparently, it seems that some of the authorities would prefer the medieval monuments of the North to collapse rather than to allow them to be restored by the unrecognized Turkish authorities. Please do not get me wrong, I have no idea how the Cyprus problem should be solved but I am genuinely worried by the devastation of historical monuments in the North and I do not think there is just one side to blame for it…Anyway, thank you once again for the comment!
Lovely little church indeed
I am glad you think so although to be honest - it would be much lovelier if it was not vandalised so much... Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it!
A very beautiful shot!
Beautiful simplicity.
I am glad you think so, visiting some of the sites in Northern Cyprus can be fairly depressing... What I found unusual about this one is the contrast bewteen the ruined interior and the relatively well preserved rood which was restored in early 70s. In most cases the roof is the most damaged part of the ruin... Anyway, thank you very much for the comment, as always, I really appreciate it!

Need some urgent help from you all regarding my Sony DCR-TRV30 camera with Windows Vista Ultimate. I am having a desktop computer powered with ASUS motherboard having 1394 connectors in front and back side. I bought a Sony DCR-TRV30 camera that is just unable to get connected with my system. Vista just dont want to recognize it, dont know why. As a workaround I checked for its drivers under Device Manager, everything is ok. I bought new Firewire cables but that too dint worked. Later I also purchased new firewire PCI card but no success.
When I turn on my camera to VCR mode and try to ping, It wont ping though it is plugged into Firewire port because Vista is just unable to recognize the device. But the confusion is my camera shows that it is plugged in with the computer. Any idea or suggestion for getting rid of this problem ?

After being very quiet on the music front for a few months, I've finally ungagged myself with the first single I've released for a year. Or rather, I was ungagged by an article I read in The Times by Caitlin Moran on the 21st March 'Where is London if Soho is gone?'.
Since the 1st December 2014, along with Guy Hamilton and Colin Vaines, I have been running Save Soho with the ambassadorial help of Stephen Fry and Benedict Cumberbatch. I had no idea what impact this would have on my day to to day life. I guess this is what happens when you form a committee with such highly revered members of the showbiz world. And thank goodness Stephen and Ben embraced the challenge. The support for the campaign has blown me away and whilst I have had no time to do anything else, it has been inspiring to discover how many people from all over the world feel exactly as I do about the changes happening in our little village, and indeed London in general.
Film makers, jounalists, companies, media shakers and movers have all been appearing in mine and Save Soho's inbox by the thousands every week. For an indie singer living in a ramshackle bedsit in the middle of Soho, it's been something of a surprise. But a delightful one.
In the maelstrom of everyone else's wider concerns about Soho, I'd forgotten why I started Save Soho to begin with. Naturally, my concerns were about music. Where were all of us misfits who made underground music going to go when all our places kept being shut down?
And then Caitlin's article came out and it struck a chord. And then I got my guitar and struck a few more. I realised that because of the day to day work I do on Save Soho, I hadn't actually made any music for months. But out it came.
Like a storm that had been brewing in the back of my mind for months.
Sometimes we write songs because we WANT to write a song. Sometimes the song grabs us by the scruff of our neck and forces itself to be written.

Saturday 21st March - I read 'Where is London if Soho is gone?'
Sunday 22nd March - I wrote Hearts 4 Meat.
Monday 23rd March - We formed a new band called The 100 Futures and recorded our first single in a home studio in North London.
Tuesday 24th March - Overdubbed a few backing vocals and my broken tambourine at home in Soho.
Wednesday 25th March - Oscar nominated songwriter and producer Nick Southwood (Adam Levine, The Struts, The Overtones) kindly took on the duty of mixing the song.
Thursday 26th March - Designed a logo for the band along with the artwork for the single.
Friday 27th March - Nick sends the mastered mix of the song.
Saturday 28th March - I chuck the lot over to iTunes.
Tuesday 31st March - Single is self released
This is the most instant DIY experience I have ever had in music and the whole thing was done on zero budget, but a fortune in love and good will. I've never felt so lucky.
The good news about Save Soho is that I'm now working on a project called The Reservation with Alan McGee as an effort to bring music back into Soho. Putting our music where are mouth is so to speak. But there are many ways that one can try to protect an endangered culture.
It's predominantly artists who fear for London and what is happening to their place in it. I would urge all of us to express that fear, that passion. It is the only voice we have that can't be taken away. Paint, design, write, make music, make films. CREATE. Because if we saturate London with creativity, someone, somewhere will finally realise we have to have special little places for those creations to flourish.

Economic Outlook - May 2007
Immigrant entrepreneurs need a warmer welcome
North Carolina does a poor job courting and keeping foreign-born high-tech entrepreneurs, according to a study by Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and the University of California's School of Information. Immigrants were key founders - CEO, president or chief technology officer - in 13.9% of North Carolina engineering and technology companies started 1995-2005, compared with a study average of 25%. Nationwide, immigrant-founded companies produced $52 billion of sales and employed 450,000 in 2005. Vivek Wadhwa, executive in residence at Pratt, led the study. Born in India, he stepped down in 2003 as CEO of Relativity Technologies, a Raleigh software developer he founded.
BNC: Immigrants participate in startups at a higher percentage than they represent in the general population.
Wadhwa: It's relative. When you compare North Carolina to other states and map the growth of entrepreneurship and tech companies to the foreign population, you'll see a correlation. The fact that Georgia is so far ahead of North Carolina is a big surprise.
Why is that?
Georgia is making a concerted effort to be immigrant-friendly and provide the structure for tech companies. They aren't taking it for granted. I spoke to a bunch of people there, and they are well aware of Research Triangle Park's position as a tech center. But they have been making a conscious effort to succeed, and we haven't.
What's the problem here?
I was with Seer Technologies when it moved here from New York in 1991. We looked across the country, but RTP made sense because of everything that was already here. I was the chief technology officer of a $100 million company. Then in 1997, when I started my own company, I started calling local venture capitalists, but none would take my phone calls. I had to go through my Silicon Valley contacts and network back.
Why the cool reception?
The local VCs told me, "You people don't make good CEOs. You make good engineers." I was stunned. That was the mindset here. If you speak to Indians in Silicon Valley, that was the mindset there 25 to 30 years ago. My people had to prove that they're more than just engineers, that they can build and run companies. We find it very hard to get our phone calls returned even today. There are about half a dozen venture-capital firms in the state, but you might find only one or two examples of those firms funding a company with a foreign-born owner. That is an indication of the problems and issues. We don't make it easy for those who want to succeed.
North Carolina's pool of immigrants is growing.
Unskilled immigrants from Latin America have an easier time. If we need unskilled laborers, we bring them in. But there is no focus on skilled immigrants or on immigrants as entrepreneurs. This is not a report that I wanted to publish, because North Carolina was so low.
What does that mean when our state competes against others?
If we're going to compete, we need to import the right talent from outside the state. These immigrants are highly educated, they take risks, and they succeed in building businesses. We're churning out good scientists and engineers in our universities across the state, but they're not staying. Let's get as many as we can and then keep them here.
The percentage of immigrant-started companies in RTP is 18.7% - higher than the rest of the state.
But RTP is still below the national average. It's not immigrant-friendly, and I say that from my own experience. The only reason I stayed is that I love the area. But no one made it easy for me.
Why were a quarter of the immigrant-started engineering and tech companies in RTP founded by natives of India?
Mostly Indians come here because of the universities, and then they stay here and network. Entrepreneurs help others with the same background. But they don't have critical mass here yet. They're bootstrapping their way through and starting companies even though they aren't getting venture capital.
Is there anything that the state can do to encourage more immigrant startups?
Perhaps a pool of funding or a way to facilitate networking. They can make it easier for students to stay here by helping them get visas, scholarships or by hooking them up with companies. They can lobby for legislation that is skilled-immigrant-friendly. The caliber of foreign students is excellent. If they stay, they're going to be productive for 30 or 40 years after they get here.
If the state helps out, how can it ensure a return on its investment?
I wouldn't give anything for free to anyone. If there was a pool of money to fund new and promising businesses, this should be strictly like a venture-capital investment with tough terms and the potential for high returns.
How could legislation address the issue?
We need to start by becoming aware of the issue, and our study is a first step. Then we need to look for solutions. I wish I had the answers, but I'm just a tech guy taking a sabbatical in academia.

Crackdown on Monsanto Seeds: Germany Tightens Restrictions on Genetically Modified Corn
The German government has imposed stricter regulations on the food company Monsanto regarding the sale of genetically modified corn seeds. The new rules are tantamount to an outright ban.
Brandenburg farmer Jörg Piprek checks his crop of GM corn in this 2005 file photo. The sign reads "Keep out!"
"This amounts to a de facto ban on the cultivation of genetically modified corn," said Peter Rudolph, who is responsible for genetic technology in the Brandenburg state ministry of agriculture, in remarks to Der Tagesspiegel Tuesday. He said the letter basically means Monsanto will no longer be allowed to sell MON 810, as the company has not presented any monitoring plan up until now. Brandenburg is the German state with the largest quantity of GM corn under cultivation.
In the letter, the federal ministry justifies its decision by writing that new information "gives reasons to suppose that the cultivation of MON 810 poses a danger to the environment."
The new ruling could mean that crops already planted may not be allowed to be harvested. Brandenburg farmer Jörg Piprek told Der Tagesspiegel the new ruling was absurd: "We've already planted the corn. They can't tell us after the fact that it was illegal."
The cultivation of genetically modified crops has been controversial all over Europe, with anti-GM activists going as far as ripping up crops. The German Agriculture Minister Horst Seehofer has up until now justified the cultivation of GM crops in Germany by arguing they are allowed under European Union regulations.

A snapshot of influenza activity in all 50 states
Illinois: Intensive care unit hospitalizations and flu-related deaths surpass previous years and continue to climb, with 27 adult deaths so far. Eight Chicago-area hospitals turned away ambulances earlier this week because of a surge of patients with flu-like symptoms but that situation eased. Chicago's health department encouraged vaccinations and held a flu chat Friday on Twitter; Mayor Rahm Emanuel tweeted a photo of himself holding a sign that said, "Any advice for people who shake a ton of hands? (hash)FluChicago."
Indiana: Flu is widespread in Indiana and deaths have climbed to 15 during what health officials call a "moderately severe" flu season. During the same period last year, no flu deaths were reported; two years ago there were two deaths. During the pandemic of the 2009-2010 flu season, there were 21 deaths by this time of the year. Two of this season's deaths were in children younger than 18.
Iowa: Flu problems are increasing in Iowa and are worse than in recent years. Some locations have run out of vaccine, partly because clinics ordered fewer doses because of recent mild flu seasons. Iowa doesn't track flu deaths.
Kansas: The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has reported one child flu death. Flu is widespread but vaccine supplies have mostly been adequate in Kansas.
Kentucky: Flu has been widespread in Kentucky for the past five weeks, which is earlier than usual. State authorities are not aware of any shortages and there have been no flu deaths in children.
Louisiana: High levels of flu-like illness are reported in Louisiana but no child deaths and so far emergency rooms have not had to turn away other patients to accommodate those with suspected flu. "This is going to be one of the very busy seasons," said Louisiana's state epidemiologist, Dr. Raoult Ratard.
Maine: Authorities say flu cases are increasing and reaching "epidemic proportions" with widespread illness throughout the state. Most hospitals are near capacity, and there have been some spot shortages of vaccine. Maine doesn't tally flu deaths but one school-aged child has died - Maine's first flu-related death in a healthy child in years.
Maryland: Flu cases are widespread and more numerous than expected in Maryland, but there are signs things may be stabilizing. Most patients are older than 65; no children's deaths have been reported. Emergency departments at several hospitals in the Baltimore-Washington area were at or near capacity for intensive- and critical-care patients but it wasn't clear to what extent flu was a factor.
Massachusetts: Massachusetts has reported a high level of flu activity, with 18 deaths, none in children. The city of Boston declared a public health emergency on Wednesday and is working with health care centers to offer free flu vaccines. Ahead of weekend church services, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston advised priests they may want to encourage parishioners to avoid drinking from communion chalices and skip handshakes when exchanging signs of peace during services until the flu emergency subsides.
Michigan: Health officials say the flu season is worse than previous ones, isn't slowing down, but has not reached an emergency level yet. Four Michigan children have died from flu-related illness. The hardest-hit regions are in the southwest, central and southeastern parts of the state. Some pharmacies are running out of vaccine, but enough is available on order.
Minnesota: Flu season has hit hard in Minnesota and many residents have gotten vaccinated. Some clinics have run out of vaccine and had to wait a day or two to get new supplies, but there have no serious shortages. There have been 27 deaths, most in elderly patients.
Mississippi: High levels of flu-like illness have been reported in Mississippi but no child deaths and so far emergency rooms have not had to turn away other patients to accommodate those with suspected flu.
