New Innovation Center
inspires students as real-life classroom
By ASHLEY HANNAH
SCRA
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
JULY
29, 2010 -- Bryan Bryant, an employee of SCRA, was stopping by the
new
SCRA-MUSC Innovation Center for a quick errand. Knowing that
his teenage daughter, Liz, had an interest in science, he asked
if she would like to tag along to see the new Meeting Street facility
at the base of the new bridge across the Cooper River. What started
as a quick errand for Bryan turned into an afternoon of inspiration
for Liz. Not only was she able to see a nicely renovated building,
but she was able to meet with scientists, learn more about their
research and see scientific discovery in action.
Current
tenants of this facility are the tangible example of how science
can change our lives, and demonstrate the job possibilities for
aspiring young scientists in South Carolina, like Liz Bryant, to
work in their chosen area of interest. One tenant company, Immunologix,
is a biopharmaceutical company that was created by an alumnus of
the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the Citadel
around a technology developed at MUSC. The growing company currently
employs an MUSC grad student who took time to speak with Liz about
what the company is doing and the kind of career options that it
offers.
 |
Liz
also received a tour from a recent Clemson graduate of MFC Tech's
tenant space. MFC Tech is an alternative energy and biofuel development
company co-founded by an MUSC professor. Liz was able to see scientific
theories come to life in an environment that enables research and
development, including current company research projects such as
how fuel cells are generating and collecting power from tiny organisms
that produce methane while eating bio-waste.
This
tour offered Liz the opportunity to meet with young scientists that
are pursuing careers in their field of interest, learn about new
developing technologies, and see the tangible, physical implementation
of science. This renovated building became more than bricks and
mortar, more than commercial development. It became a real-life
classroom.
For
many years the building located just off of I-26 coming into downtown
Charleston had sat undeveloped and deteriorating. Charleston Mayor
Joseph P. Riley Jr. and area leaders actively looked for new opportunities
and an infusion of development resources to restore this building
and the surrounding area. At this same time, SCRA and MUSC were
looking to develop laboratory space to transition research to the
commercial market. And so, the vision for an Innovation Center began
to take shape.
Now
there is a renovated building that not only embodies attractive
real estate with fresh paint and shiny glass windows, but houses
tremendous promise for the Charleston community and South Carolina.
The
SCRA-MUSC Innovation Center is a world-class facility that houses
emerging technology-based companies spinning out from research at
MUSC and the Charleston area. These companies, while developing
novel technologies, are also creating job opportunities for South
Carolina's best and brightest. The Innovation Center represents
new job opportunities for young graduates pursuing biotechnology
and life science related careers.
Currently,
SCRA manages a network of Innovation Centers with locations across
the state. Working with partners throughout South Carolina, SCRA
is building an "ecosystem" of centers that will support
a homegrown technology-based, high quality economy.
Next
time you enter the downtown area of Charleston, look just off of
the interstate to the white building with the Innovation Center
sign. It is here that revitalization, innovation and commercialization
are truly in action. It is here that South Carolina's brightest
graduates have found career starts in-state and in their field of
interest. It is here that technology development is underway that
will better our lives. It is here that a young teenager was able
to see a working laboratory where science is creating endless possibilities
for the world, and for her.

an emerging global leader in targeted applied research and commercialization

Us,
lazy? We think that's a crock
of boiled peanuts
By ANN THRASH, contributing editor
JULY
29, 2010 -- Did y'all see the story in the paper yesterday about
how lazy we are around here? At least according to BusinessWeek,
that is. Supposedly we're the eighth
laziest state in the country. Most of us would probably beg
to differ on that, but there's one area in which I'm definitely
lazy and not a bit ashamed to admit it: boiled peanuts.

Thrash
|
What
does one thing have to do with the other? Well, it's the cooking.
Lots of people make boiled peanuts in a pot on top of the stove,
but that's just too labor-intensive for me. If you cook them that
way, you've got to continually check the pot to make sure the water
hasn't boiled out, and it heats up the kitchen, too - not a good
thing this time of year. If I want a sauna, I'll just step out on
the back porch; I don't need that in my kitchen.
Years
ago somebody -- can't remember who -- told me about using a Crock-Pot
to make boiled peanuts, and I've done it that way ever since with
great results. Talk about the lazy way to cook! Put the peanuts
and the salt in the crock, set it on low, then just walk away for
a couple of hours. That's it. No unwelcome extra heat and steam
in the kitchen. No constant checking of the pot to see if the water's
boiled out. The only time you need to take the lid off the pot is
about seven hours after you turn it on, so you can check the salt
and adjust it if needed. That beats taking the lid off every 30
minutes or an hour and releasing all that wet steam a few inches
from your face.
 |
July,
August and September are green-peanut primetime in South Carolina,
so if you've never tried making them yourself at home, there's no
better time than now. Your only real effort here is going out to
the farmers' market or the grocery store to get the peanuts (which,
although they're called "green" peanuts, are really more
of a light tan color).
The
peanuts and salt are all you need, but if you want to kick them
up just a touch, add a smoked ham hock to the pot while you're cooking
them. My husband, Bill, gets the credit for coming up with that
idea, and we've gotten pretty hooked on it.
Here's
to a lazy, boiled-peanut weekend for all of us.
Lazy Crock-Pot
Boiled Peanuts
2 pounds
fresh green peanuts, in the shell
½ cup kosher salt (or ? cup regular salt)
Optional: 1 smoked ham hock
Rinse the
peanuts well and place them in the Crock-Pot (3-quart size or
larger). Sprinkle the salt over the peanuts (it sounds like a
lot of salt, but for that many peanuts, it really isn't). Add
the ham hock, if using, and stir things around (if the ham hock's
frozen, no need to thaw it; just toss it in). Cover everything
water, then put the lid on the pot and set the temperature to
low. Cook for 7 hours, then take a few peanuts out of their shells,
taste them, and adjust the salt if needed. Cook for 8-10 hours
total. Makes enough for 4 to 8 people, depending on the intensity
of their craving.

JULY
29 , 2010 -- The
maker of ancillary products for the MacBook has garnered praise
from CNET, the leading tech information and review site:
"Designed
primarily for Apple laptops, the BassJump provides a noticeable
improvement to the depth and clarity of your MacBook's audio playback.
At $80, it's perhaps a bit expensive for such a focused task,
but its Mac-consistent design, compact size, and handy control
software help its appeal. We also like that it's USB-powered,
so you only need to mess around with a single cable."

ENCYCLOPEDIA
Mason
Lee's will
One
of South Carolina's most famous legal disputes derived from a celebrated
eccentric, Mason Lee (ca. 1775-ca. 1823), and the legal proceedings
surrounding the probate of his will. Lee lived in Marlboro District
and devised his property to the states of Tennessee and South Carolina
in order to defeat inheritance by any of his relations. He directed
that proceeds from his large estate be disposed of so that no part
of it would be inherited by any of his relations "while wood
grows or water runs." Lee authorized his executors to defend
his will with the best legal defense that money could buy "again,
again, and again."
 |
Originally
from North Carolina, Lee, at age 30, was allegedly struck by lightning
that may have first caused his idiosyncrasies. He then moved to
Georgia, where he was charged with murder, and he afterward located
as a fugitive to Marlboro District, South Carolina. While in Marlboro,
Lee accumulated great wealth, but his eccentricities became more
pronounced. He slept in a hollow gum log and wore no buttons on
his clothes. He believed that all women were witches and that his
relatives were in his teeth and used supernatural powers to bewitch.
He cut off the quarters of his shoes and drilled holes in his hat
to drive the devil from his feet and head.
After Lee's death an intense legal battle ensued among the elite
of the South Carolina Bar to settle the estate. To contest the will,
the heirs at law employed James R. Ervin, Abram Blanding, and William
Harper, three of the state's most prominent lawyers. Lee's executor,
Robertson Carloss, engaged Josiah J. Evans and William Campbell
Preston, both future U.S. senators, to argue for the will. The state
court of appeals affirmed, holding that eccentricity, however great,
is not the same as insanity and thus is insufficient to invalidate
a will.
Subsequently, the state of Tennessee sold all its interest in the
Lee estate to the estate of Robert B. Campbell, a member of Congress
from South Carolina. The state of South Carolina through legislation
gave its share to Lee's heirs at law. By this time, however, there
was little left in the estate since the proceeds had been dissipated
by legal fees and the second executor's excesses. The hollow log
in which Lee slept is in the Marlborough Historical Society Museum
in Bennettsville.
