Historic sites short of cash, class learns
HYDE PARK - Some members of the National Park Service will be the first to admit Springwood, home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is not maintained at all times. Eighth-grade, English students at Haviland Middle School wanted to know why, so they sent letters to the National Park Service. After a behind-the-scenes tour of the historic home Wednesday, they have the answer - lack of money. The students were invited to the site by Sarah Olsen, superintendent of Roosevelt Vanderbilt National Historic Sites. "We wanted to give them a good understanding of what it takes to keep up the Roosevelt home," Olsen said. This is important because Springwood is right in their backyard, eighth-grade science teacher Jessica Culley said. She said it was "a real world experience" for the students and included things "no one else gets to see." Though the students only toured Springwood and its museum - part of the Franklin D.
Getting Started With Telepresence
When it comes to telepresence, forking over the cold hard cash for such a sizable purchase is the least of an enterprise’s concerns. With its high technical demands and sophisticated network requirements, it’s crucial that users properly deploy and maintain their telepresence systems. It’s a task, however, that’s easier said than done given telepresence’s web of room systems, collaboration tools, software and business-to-business connectivity issues. Just the physical installation of a telepresence solution calls for ceiling height assessments and acoustic adjustments, and the entire deployment process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to complete. Standalone vs. Hosted Nor are any two system deployment processes the same.

Samson: Marlins are more than a game
Maximizing the gameday experience is a primary objective of the Marlins organization as the 2007 season gets under way. In a trendy place like South Florida, the Marlins are making a stronger push to lure fans into Dolphin Stadium by turning the ballpark into an event, not just a place to watch a game. Team president David Samson points out that Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria encourages the organization to "dare to be different" when it comes to attracting players and developing new promotional ideas. Thinking outside the box is how the marketing department came up with a new "Super Saturdays Concert Series," where after each Saturday home game, fans will be treated to a live band followed by a fireworks show. Established bands like Kansas, Joan Jett and Cheap Trick will be performing at Dolphin Stadium during the course of the season.
