Kuo argues that mentoring "requires both time and perserverance" and that it is an essential component of a necessary strategy to "move away from a model ... of hiring a limited number of highly paid and highly trained professionals and loading them with work."

IM rolled the remote truck and two cameras to produce a video tape but also streamed the event live over the Web. A link was coordinated between IM Web programmers and the UC Davis campus Web page that delivered a live full-motion stream relayed from the site directly to the desktops of viewers at UC Davis, UC Office of the President, and other UC campuses. "I want to convey my appreciation for [IM's] quick and thorough responsiveness to our request to videostream the memorial service on our research expedition Web page and to provide copies of the memorial videotape to the families of those who perished in the Sea of Cortez," says Maril Stratton, Director, Public Communications. "The video is beautifully done, and I know it will be of comfort to the families and treasured by the victims' children as they grow. Thanks so much for helping the campus appropriately honor the memories of those whose lives were so tragically lost."

of Mumbo Gumbo, on piano and accordian), and George Haver (acoustic guitar).
