This book uses quantitative and historical methods to trace the evolution of the Japanese economy's business network from the prewar period to the end of the century. It addresses whether the controversial "keiretsu" enterprise groupings have outlived their usefulness and are withering away in the face of deregulation, globalization, and market liberalization. While concluding that these relationships are still central to Japanese business, the book also notes that they are much more subordinated to the strategies of individual enterprises than was true of the prewar network economy.Read more
- The changing Japanese economy and the reasons for Japanese economic decline
- Wide interest in the topic of role of networks in global business practice and in economic efficiency
- Extensive analysis of data in drawing conclusions about the changing structure and functioning of business networks in Japan or elsewhere
Reviews & endorsements
"I highly recommend this book to students of formal network analysis, complex organizations and markets, and Japan. It inspires the reader's confidence that the years the authors spent studying keiretsu enabled them to really know what they are talking about"
-Robert M. Marsh, Contemporary SociologySee more reviews
"The structural analysis and knowledge of the context works very well in combination to inform the reader of Japanese business networks, and the evidence Lincoln and Gerlach present supports a stronger role for the individual firm and its network position and a weaker role for the keiretsu as a unitary actor in understanding Japanese business networks...The theory of organizational networks thus seems to travel well across contexts."
-Heinrich R. Greve, Administrative Science Quarterly
"Japan's Network Economy: Structure, Persistence, and Change is an ambitious, original, and meticulously researched analysis of the rise and fall and future of the great Japanese keiretsu...Supported by careful analysis, Lincoln and Gerlach get the story right and provide new insights into keiretsu behavior."
-Brian Uzzi, Northwestern University, American Journal of Sociology

Jennifer Lopez wasn't nominated for any Golden Globes this year, but luckily, the superstar was tapped to present an award, so we didn't have to have a J.Lo-less — gasp! — red carpet. And girl didn't disappoint, arriving fashionably late to the red carpet in a seriously sheer Zuhair Murad white gown and long flowing locks. It was sexy. It was bold. It was definitely, DEFINITELY J.Lo.

Purple Cows Gone Bad
Just because it's different, doesn't mean it's good. Something can be remarkably bad and not succeed in any way. Just a head's up. Goldin Pickle Juice - The BevNET.com Review
Facebook: Seth's Facebook
Twitter: @thisissethsblog
Seth's most important book about the art of marketing
The practical sequel to Purple Cow
An instant bestseller, the book that brings all of Seth's ideas together.
Why the internet works (and doesn't) for your business. And vice versa.
The classic Named "Best Business Book" by Fortune.
The latest book, Poke The Box is a call to action about the initiative you're taking - in your job or in your life, and Seth once again breaks the traditional publishing model by releasing it through The Domino Project.
The worldwide bestseller. Essential reading about remarkable products and services.
A long book filled with short pieces from Fast Company and the blog. Guaranteed to make you think.
Seth's worst seller and personal favorite. Change. How it works (and doesn't).
All for charity. Includes original work from Malcolm Gladwell, Tom Peters and Promise Phelon.
Top 5 Amazon ebestseller for a year. All about web sites that work.
A short book about quitting and being the best in the world. It's about life, not just marketing.
Seth's most personal book, a look at the end of the industrial economy and what happens next.
"Book of the year," a perennial bestseller about leading, connecting and creating movements.
More than 3,000,000 copies downloaded, perhaps the most important book to read about creating ideas that spread.
A short, illustrated, kids-like book that takes the last chapter of Icarus and turns it into something worth sharing.
The end of mass and how you can succeed by delighting a niche.
The sequel to Small is the New Big. More than 600 pages of the best of Seth's blog.

Just because it's different, doesn't mean it's good. Something can be remarkably bad and not succeed in any way. Just a head's up. Goldin Pickle Juice - The BevNET.com Review
Herbal tea, in fact. Tons of different kinds. It occured to me that on the side of almost every package of tea, it gives you the recipe. The recipe for how to make a cup of tea.
Is there anyone who doesn't know how to make tea? Among the group of non-knowers, do they think to look for a recipe on the box? If it's not there, do they look it up in a cookbook?
On the other hand, I was dishing out some Marshmallow Fluff yesterday (this is a GREAT product) and I saw the recipe for a Fluffernutter on the back. What did that invention net them? Do you think you could invent a new use for your product?
In case you need help with tea, here you go: Lipton Tea
Clueless marketers are feeling a little of the "blog buzz" (maybe because some folks think that's how Howard Dean got 10,000 people to a rally last night). They want to know how to use the medium to sell more stuff.
I don't think that's the right approach.
Joi Ito pointed me to Epeus' epigone - Kevin Marks weblog. I commend you to read it, then, if you don't understand everything he's going on about, take a few minutes to look up the missing pieces on Google.
It's a pretty subtle thing that's going on here, but it is very much going on.
I'm fascinated by Meetup, but I just want to say that this link is for a meeting that's telegraphing a punchline: International Anarchy Meetup Day.
Borscht belt jokes aside (do the anti-social people have a meetup as well?) Scott's insight about the power of viral marketing is astonishing. Meetup is growing faster every day, fueled by the tell-a-friend motive that is 100% based on selfish needs. In other words, people tell other people because it's good for THEM, not for meetup.
Is there a business out there that can't learn from their success? Don't think so. (Is there a naysayers meetup?...)
PS rereading this, it occurs to me that my anarchist readers will be annoyed with me for not realizing that anarchy is a valid political movement, and that anarchists are quite entitled to organize meetings. Gotcha.
You can read all about the results of my, What Should Google Do? challenge by clicking on the link, it'll take you to the PDF. Hey, it's free, and you can share it.
Thanks to everyone who contributed. You can read more about it at the new Fast Company Now blog.
Two just arrived.
The first is from Steve Ruskin, "I'm the one on the right."
The second is a piece of art from artist Leland Johnson. You can find the book
Brian Peddle sent me this neat riff on the old "find a caption" viral cartoons. Fanta Shokata.
That I find a site I like, much less a designer's site. Hence, it's with great excitement that I commend you to: MANOVERBOARD. Web & Print Design and Consulting..
It's got permission elements, viral elements, good taste, smart design and more. Nice.
I had heard about "Google Answers", but I confess that I thought it was a dead end gimmick.
It's not. It's amazing.
Check out this example: Google Answers: manufacturers of superballs (high bounce rubber balls)
The thoroughness and reliability of the answers I looked at belied the astonishing (under $200) price that was being charged.
One last factoid: They didn't drink Kool Aid at Jonestown. It was FlavorAid. I feel sorry for the guys at General Foods who had to live with the brand besmirchment!
Thanks to Dave Winer for the obtuse reference that started me down the road.
The latest spam making the rounds might come from PayPal or even your bank.
It requires you to click on a link and go to a web page to read a security message or new terms and conditions.
But to get to the page, you need to type in some identifying data. Of course, that's the scam. It's not really the bank. It's an identity thief, just waiting to steal from you.

DERBY – Incumbent Republican Mark Higley and Progressive Katherine Sims faced off in a forum at the IROC Monday evening for a bid for Orleans-Lamoille's only House seat in Montpelier.
NEWPORT, VT - Having a mammogram is typically a private matter, but it wasn't for Deveney Choquette, a popular radio personality on WMOO in Derby. On Friday, October 5, she had her very first mammogram – after telling all her listeners about it in the week leading up to the procedure. Then on Tuesday, October 9, she reported back to listeners about the experience.
DERBY LINE – The Derby Line Village Trustees have agreed to do a study of the water system on Elm Street. The engineering firm of Aldrich and Elliott will conduct the $15,800 study as soon as possible.
A no-interest, five-year loan through the Agency of Natural Resources will fund the study. Ultimately, the system's rate payers will have to pay for the study and the eventual upgrades.

How To Begin The Bowling Arm Swing
Two key components of an effective bowling arm swing are tempo and direction. Tempo and direction have always been keys of successful arm swings so let's begin by learning
how to begin the bowling arm swing.
Hold the
bowling ball
in your stance position with the center of the ball in positioned in front of your bowling shoulder so the ball is ready to begin the swing cycle along your target line path. Regardless if you refer to hold the ball knee high with your arm extended downward and the back of your hand resting on your leg, if you hold the ball waist high, or if you hold the ball shoulder high, begin the swing motion by moving the ball smoothly toward your target on the lane. Try to sequence the beginning movement of the ball with the first step of a four step approach or slightly before the first step.
It helps to reduce muscle tension by holding the ball against or very nearly against your body. The further from your body that you hold the heavy bowling ball, the more tension in your arm muscles will occur.
Place the ball into motion by allowing your bowling arm to extend fully in order to develop a full radius arm swing path. As you begin the first movement of the ball, simultaneously release your support hand from the ball so the weight of the ball will swing freely, smoothly, and uncontrolled into your back swing.
Ladies should consider holding the ball in the stance position a little further toward the outside edge of the bowling shoulder than men to avoid the ball from swinging back and contacting the leg or hip. A good rule of thumb is to hold the ball with the center part of the ball in front of the bowling shoulder or toward the outside edge of the bowling shoulder, a good technique when learning
how to begin the bowling arm swing.
The first movement of the bowling ball is sometimes referred to as the "pushaway" motion. Smoothly "pushing" the ball toward your target on the lane will initiate the swing cycle. Once you have moved the ball into motion toward your target, your ball will swing naturally and smoothly with the force of gravity allowing your bowling arm to be fully extended as your arm begins the back swing cycle. As little of tension as possible in the muscles of your bowling arm will help you begin the "pushaway" motion in a smooth and consistent manner.
Try to avoid a quick and "jerky" motion when beginning the swing. Your "pushaway" can be shaped slightly into an outward and downward rolling motion if you hold the ball waist level or higher. If you hold the ball low with your ball just above knee level, as example, then you should move the ball forward toward your target and then allow the ball to swing back once your bowling arm is extended. In all cases, it is important to begin the swing cycle smoothly and allow your feet to match the pace of your arm swing while maintaining alignment with your target on the lane.
We hope these tips help you learn how to begin your swing. If you have any questions about swing direction techniques, we recommend you seek consultation with a certified bowling coach or with a top amateur/professional player in your area to work at improving the effectiveness of your arm swing.

Residents complained that there were different colors when the ceiling was completed. It was found that the tile manufacturer had sent two different finishes.

Tin ceiling at Ray library
not what RTHS ordered
by STACY SOBOTKA
Observer Special Writer
Next time you go to the Ray Township Library, look up and you will spot different colors on the ceiling.
Residents let the Ray Township Board of Trustees know they were dissatisfied with the tin ceiling project at its meeting Nov. 19.
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the building of the "Mill School House," which houses the Ray Township Library, the library and the Ray Township Historical Society (RTHS) decided to refurbish the building with a tin ceiling.
"After four years of fundraising through the sales of the society's annual calendars, T-shirts, and cookbooks along with special events and the Kroger Rewards Program, the society was able to dedicate $6,877 for the tin ceiling installation," said RTHS President Terry Goike. "The society researched the costs for the materials and labor. Three quotes from contractors were secured with the lowest being around $8,000 from a local contractor who had installed tin ceilings in the area. The township and library boards were then asked if they would contribute $640 each to the project to cover the cost of the installation so the work could be completed in 2013 for the 150th anniversary of the building's construction and the 30th anniversary of the library."
The township board served as the entity to secure the project. It modified the specifications and advertised for sealed bids. Only one bid came in and the projected cost was $11,000.
To complete the project within the allotted $8,000 budget, the board suggested having the township's maintenance supervisor complete the work. Both the library board and the historical society were concerned about the quality of the work and what would happen if something unforeseen happened and there were cost overages. The township board said that they would guarantee the quality of the work and any cost overages.
The township approved the tin ceiling installation with a budget of $8,200 with $6,877 from the RTHS, $640 from the Ray Township Library, and $700 from the township.
Not long after the project began in September of this year, library staff noticed a significant difference in the tile colors. Not until the project was near completion was the matter investigated, and it was found that the tile manufacturer sent two different finishes. One was dull, the other glossy.
"The township contacted the manufacturer who sent replacement tiles in a glossy finish but only enough to change out the ones with a dull finish," said Goike. "The township started to install the replacement tiles over the dull finish tiles. Comments from the public stated that the new tiles did not match the original shiny tiles."
Ray Township resident Kevin Brown went to the library on Nov. 18, and reported to the board that there was a visible difference in the tiling.
"I looked at it objectively," he said. "There's definitely three different colored tiles there. I went there in the daytime to look and see if there's a difference in the daytime. You can't quite notice as much in the daytime but if you stare at it you can. There's definitely two in the day but at night you can see three different colors."
Goike and the RTHS are working to fix the problem. She offered the board a proposal by Jason Arnott of the Romeo-based design firm Earth Environments.
"The society feels strongly that this proposal is the best solution to the present situation, and to that end, the society has pledged an additional $1,500 to the project if the proposal is agreed upon," she said.
A survey about the tin ceiling is available in the library for those who wish to comment.
If the proposal is approved, the society will have raised $8,377 for the project. Both the RTHS and the township library will continue to ask for donations of materials, and hope the project will be completed by January 2014.
Though Arnott has never installed a tin ceiling, he has plenty of experience in ceiling replacement and historic preservation. He recommended furring the ceiling, which is preparing a frame to hold ceiling panels in place.
"We would be furring the ceiling down based on existing conditions of what's here," he said.
Arnott would use a suspended ceiling as a backup plan.
"I'm open to either suspended or fur down right from existing conditions, so either one is how we look at it. Whichever one everyone would like to settle on, I'm fine with," he said.
The township plans to discuss the matter at a meeting with Arnott and two representatives each from the Township Board, Library Board, and the RTHS. The RTHS is working on arranging this meeting.
"Before I go forward with this project any further, I want something in concrete," said Township Supervisor Charlie Bohm. "I don't want to end up with a situation that we currently have."
In other business, the Board of Trustees:
Announced the annual Christmas Tree Lighting will take place Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m.
Approved a motion to advise the Macomb County Department of Roads to apply crushed limestone to Hartway Road from 29 Mile Road to 30 Mile Road, and surplus material to be used for the western portion of 31 Mile Road until supply is exhausted.

We are up for the cup as a break from league woe
Posted: December 01, 2012|
THE magic of the FA Cup is back with us again as we take the short trip to Crewe for our second-round clash this afternoon.
Crewe are a good footballing side filled with lots of talent that they nurture and bring through the ranks from a very early age.
In my opinion — and having played them numerous times over the last few seasons — they have been one of the best passing sides and rightfully gained a much deserved promotion to League One.
We go there on the back of two very bad results after losing to both the bottom two last week.
Every team is bound to slip up at some point in the season and it was us last week.
We are still very much in touching distance with the chasing pack, but I think today's cup clash is a welcome distraction from the league.
A good FA Cup run is always enjoyable to have and, with the added financial benefits, we're hoping to be in that hat for the third round draw.
I played my first 90 minutes on Tuesday night in a reserve team game away at Tranmere Rovers.
It was great to get the full game under my belt and its all in preparation to get myself back in action for a first team starting position.
When I say reserve team I use that phrase lightly because on the night we had myself, Jack Dyer, Corbs (Andy Corbett), G (Aaron Webster), Ross (Atkins), Jacob Blyth, Marcus (Holness), Chappy (Jordan Chapell) and Cleve (Cleveland Taylor) — a group of players that any League Two team would welcome.
I hope to see a big Brewers following make the journey to Crewe this afternoon and hopefully celebrate a Burton win and then draw a big Premiership team in the next round.
Come on you Brewers!

Quick Cash for Emergencies
July 2, 2014 by Dr. Letitia Wright
Filed under Featured Articles, Front Page
It's a good idea to be able to get quick cash for personal or business use. Sometimes things come up and they are outside your budget. When you have the freedom of quick cash you can take advantage of new opportunities and good deals. You can use quick cash to pay off debt. Perhaps you or someone in the family is ill and you need to get a few things. Perhaps your child in college needs some money.
You can turn your car into cash and still be able to drive it everyday. They look at your car and you pink slip. That's all. It's simple and easy. There is no need to go to a pawn broker. You can shop generic, eat at home, cut off your cable, spend all your time looking for lower rates, but that does not bring money in. If you own your car, a title loan is a fast and easy way to get the money you need. All you need to bring into the store is a clear title, valid government issued ID, and proof of income. Read more

As an experienced Canadian credit reporting professional and a business man himself, Pat Drummond knows the challenges that small businesses face, and has learned from experience how to avoid common mistakes, which may eat up valuable time and money. Small businesses especially ones that are generally family-owned or those that have been operating for less than 2 years need access to credit. Here are 4 steps you can follow to build your business credit:
1. Establish a Business Credit Report
Every business starts with no credit score, and no credit history. Similar to your personal credit report, a business good credit profile can help your company grow and prosper. As you make connections to your business clients, you can start to build your working relations and credit profile. As the business expands and starts establishing it, approvals for loans will get easier. Read more

Shabbat in the Bible
The Sabbath was a cornerstone of the Temple service and of popular observance in ancient Israel.
By Dr. Jeffrey Tigay
We Also Recommend
Reprinted from Harper's Bible Dictionary, by Paul J. Achtemeier, et al., pages 888-889. Copyright (c) 1985 by The Society of Biblical Literature. Used by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.
Origins–Creation, and (maybe) Babylonians
Shabbat is the weekly day of rest and abstention from work enjoined upon the Israelites.
An etiological origin for the Sabbath is supplied in Genesis 2:1-3, which speaks of God ceasing from the work of creation on the seventh day, blessing the day, and declaring it holy. Scholarly explanations of the Sabbath's origins have focused on certain days in the Babylonian monthly calendar on which normal activities of the king and certain professions were restricted. These days, known as "evil days," were determined by the lunar cycle, corresponding with the quarters of the moon.
While the postulating of a dependence on the Babylonian calendar is tempting, it cannot be objectively sustained. The biblical Sabbath was ordained as a weekly institution with no relation whatsoever to the lunar cycle. Moreover, the somber nature of the Babylonian "evil days" stands in stark contrast to the joyous nature of the Sabbath.
Of uncertain relation to the lunar "evil days" was the day of the full moon on the fifteenth of the month, known as shapattu, a term possibly related to sabbath. This day was described as a "day of pacifying the heart [of the god]" by certain ceremonies. No significant similarities between this day and the Sabbath are known, however.
The closest analogy between the biblical Sabbath and Babylonian culture is the shared literary motif of the god(s) resting after having created humans (see Enuma Elish 7.8, 34). Even here, the parallel is distant: the biblical God rests at the conclusion of his creative efforts, while the Babylonian gods are freed from the labors required to feed themselves since humans were created to relieve them of that task.
The Sources Are Full of the Sabbath
The Sabbath was a cornerstone of Israelite religious practice from earliest times. This can be seen from the consistent mention of the Sabbath throughout all the strata of Pentateuchal and extra-Pentateuchal sources, with the exception of wisdom literature. In the Pentateuch, Sabbath observance is legislated repeatedly in general terms (Exodus 20:8-11; 23:12; 31:12-17; Leviticus 23:3; Deuteronomy 5:12-15), though the types of work prohibited are relatively limited; those mentioned include gathering food, plowing and reaping, kindling a fire, and chopping wood (Exodus 16:29-30; 34:21; 35:3; Numbers 15:32-36). The positive specifications of Sabbath observance include giving rest to one's servants and animals (Exodus 20:10; 23:12; Deuteronomy 5:14).

Acoustic tags and numerical river models are two technologies developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to help improve salmon passage at the Columbia Basin's hydroelectric dams.
An average of 76 percent of juvenile Chinook salmon that pass through the lower 100 miles of the Snake River and its three hydroelectric dams survived the trek in the spring of 2008, according to a joint study between PNNL and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Portland District.
The information was gathered by surgically implanting 4,140 young salmon with a tag that's part of the Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS). The JSATS-tagged fish were released from the Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River, where hydrophone receivers in the river picked up small sounds, or "pings," that the tags emit. PNNL and NOAA Fisheries began developing JSATS in 2001 to determine the survival rate of subyearling Chinook salmon in the Columbia River estuary.
Migrating salmon will soon be directed away from predatory fish near The Dalles Dam, thanks in part to a detailed 3-D computational fluid dynamic model created by researchers at PNNL and the Corps' Portland District. The Corps is building a concrete guide wall downstream of the dam's spillbays. The researchers' computer model showed such a wall would help move fish away from shallow waters downstream.
Predatory fish like northern pikeminnow gather in the shallow waters and eat passing salmon. The new guide wall should direct salmon toward the Columbia River's deeper channels, where predatory fish are less abundant.
The 3-D model was unusual because it included breaking waves on the surface, while most other river models use flat "lids" at the water surface. One of PNNL's supercomputers processed the model, while commercially available software helped create the model.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The New Mexico softball team (0-6) held with No. 18/23 Nebraska for most of the game but couldn't hold them down long enough as the Huskers downed the Lobos, 3-0 in the Lobos' first game of the Troy Cox Classic hosted by New Mexico State.
Through four innings, neither team managed to score despite plenty of chances. The Lobos had runners are first and third base with two out in the first. They also had the bases loaded in the third with one out but couldn't convert.
Lizzy Rock got Nebraska on the board in the fourth with a two-out RBI double to center field that allowed Jamie Waldecker to score from second. One inning later and again with two outs, Cassie Kleinsmith singled to left field, bringing home Sheena Lawrick, who singles and stole second. The final Husker run came in the seventh as Lawrick singled to drive in Jessica Yoachim.
Sophomore right fielder Ryanne Hodgins tried to rally the troops in the seventh with a single of her own but that is all the Lobos would muster.
Senior Ashley Perkins (0-3) suffered the loss despite striking out 11 batters. Perkins allowed eight hits and four walks in her complete game effort. Ashley DeBuhr earned her first win of the season, throwing 4.2 innings of relief. DeBuhr gave up just two hits, walked two batters and sat down five. Jaime Borg started the game for Nebraska, going 2.1 innings for one hit and two walks.
Overall, the Huskers outhit New Mexico 8-3. Both teams committed three errors. Hodgins, junior left fielder Kristina Schmallen and freshman second baseman Ashley Allen collected the Lobos three hits. KoKo Tacha led Nebraska at the plate, going 2-3. Lawrick was 2-4.
The Lobos continue action tonight, playing New Mexico State.

FORKS TOWNSHIP — The unofficial end to summer is nearly here.
For some people, Labor Day weekend calls for a getaway to part of Sullivan County to camp with family and friends.
Days before the onslaught of weekend warriors at Worlds End State Park near Forksville,the Rider family from Milton has already set up camp.
"That way we have a few days to ourselves before it gets full," said Mary Rider.
The Riders will be joined by campers all around them in a few days when the Labor Day weekend arrives.
"We got all types of family coming here this weekend. If we want to go fishing,(we) go fishing, hiking, go hiking," said Dan Rider.
The cabins at Worlds End State Park are booked for the weekend ahead. Park manager Bill Kocher said reservations are made nearly a year in advance and back then, two storms wreaked havoc on the pristine park.
"It doesn't look the best here, looks like a bomb went off here, asking for people of their understanding of what we went through," said Kocher.
Most of the year Sullivan County is a pretty quiet place. Near the end of the summer, it gets pretty busy. With the county fair running through the holiday, a lot of campers will be staying at the state park and they will even do business in Forksville.
"We get a lot of tourists up here every year. It seems to get more and more," said "Big Mike" of the Forksville General Store.
So between grabbing a bite at the general store or taking in the fair, holiday weekend campers will have lots of choices even when it gets hot.
"They say it's supposed to be in the 90's up here. Guess where we'll be? At the creek!" exclaimed Mary Rider.

This year's event is even bigger and better.David Cook / UAH HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Aug. 15, 2013) - Want to add some hands-on learning to your student experience at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH)? Then come to the Student Research Open House on Monday, Aug. 19, being held from 1-4 p.m. in the Von Braun Research Hall. It's sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) of as part of the campus-wide UAH Week of Welcome Aug. 16-24. Students in all majors are encouraged to come. One of the greatest opportunities UAH offers is the chance for students from any major to get actively involved in research from the beginning of their academic career, said David Cook, OVPR student research program coordinator. "The Student Research Open House gives students a chance to find out what research opportunities they can become involved with while a student at UAH," Cook said. "It's also a chance for everyone to discover the broad scope of the various kinds of research we do here, all at one event." This second-annual event will host 25 groups. Every college will be represented, as well as most of UAH's research centers and many research-oriented student clubs. Also on hand will be the UAH Moonbuggy, the ChargerSat 1 prototype, helicopter simulators, a dart concept rocket, a Nao robot demonstration and unmanned aerial vehicles. "It's amazing the amount of research going on in every department at UAH, and it's surprising to students when they discover that they can get involved," Cook said. "Our undergraduates are doing things like documenting historic sites in Huntsville, biomass estimation field studies in Panama, archeological digs on Redstone Arsenal and designing, building and testing a cube satellite that will actually fly in space." Many students find it beneficial to get immersed in the creativeness of a research project as part of their overall learning process, he said. The research work can help make the educational experience more vivid. "Some students learn better when they have an opportunity to apply what they hear in lectures or read in a textbook," Cook said. "When you put those students in a research project, they just take off. I've seen many students leave UAH well prepared for graduate school and the workforce because of their involvement in research. That's why we have this event, to inform our students of the opportunities to become involved in research and the real benefits they can get from doing so."

April 1, 2005
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - New Mexico (11-18, 1-1 MWC) opened its Mountain West Conference shedule with a split of the doubleheader it hosted against UNLV (24-13, 1-1 MWC). The Lobos fell in game one 10-4 but rallied behind sophomores Amy Ray and Caley Peterson in game two for a 7-3 win.
Game one started off well for New Mexico with senior ace Ashley Perkins needing just 11 pitches to retire UNLV in the first, recording two consecutive strikeouts and a groundout. But the second inning didn't flow as smoothly as the Rebels pushed three runs across the plate. The bases were loaded with two out when Amber Campbell tripled to right center field, clearing the bases and giving UNLV a 3-0 lead. One inning later, Morgan Bostwick doubled the score, launching a three-run homer to make it 6-0 in favor of the Rebels.
Freshman Lindsey Elcess shot back in the bottom of the third, blasting a three-run home run over the right field fence, making it her third home run in as many games. Sophomores Ryanne Hodgins and Amy Ray scored, having singled and walked, respectively, prior to Elcess' at bat.
But UNLV continued to hit with ease, putting up four more runs in the fourth, causing head coach Kim Newbern to replace Perkins with junior Katie Gregg. Still in the fourth with an inherited runner and two outs, Gregg ended the inning without further damage.
Elcess would homer again in the fifth to score the fourth and final run of the game. But that is all New Mexico could get as UNLV stud Jacque Kerrigan tamed the Lobos. Kerrigan threw a six-hit complete game, allowing four earned runs, two walks and four strikeouts.
Elcess finished the game 2-for-3 with four RBI and two runs scored while Hodgins was 2-for-4 with one run scored. Gregg allowed just one hit, one walk and one strikeout in her three and one-third innings of relief.
Gregg came back out to start game two but was quickly removed after giving up four hits and three runs without retiring a batter. Peterson threw seven scoreless innings in relief, allowing just three hits with no walks while sitting down four for her second win of the season.
Ray and Elcess quickly chipped away at the UNLV lead as both scored after getting on base with singles. New Mexico erased the deficit on one wacky play in the second. Junior Cassie Chavez singled up the middle with the bases loaded to drive in sophomore Liz Young. But a throwing error by UNLV's Pauline Glenn at third allowed Chavez to take second, Elcess to move to third and Hodgins to score. The Rebels' center fielder Brittany Freight grabbed the ball but also misfired for the second error of the inning, allowing Elcess and Chavez to score, giving UNM a 6-3 lead.
Junior Kristina Schmallen would drive in an insurance run in the fourth, singling to left field. Ray scored after leading off the inning with an infield single.
Ray finished the game 3-for-3 with two runs scored while Schmalled finished 2-for-2 with a RBI.
New Mexico returns to the field on Sunday at 1 p.m., hosting San Diego State for the second twin bill of the weekend.

Water cascades from jug to jug in this indoor/outdoor fountain. The water fills small cavities in the tops of the cast resin jugs. The jugs feature an earthy, multi-color finish while the supporting faux rocks have a faux stone finish. A cavern hidden below the waterline keeps the pump out of sight. Includes a 9 foot cord.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I use this nice fountain on my porch. It looks great! A lot of compliments from friends !
We used this in our back yard planter near our outside seating area. Wanted to hear the sound of the water.
The cascading waters not only look good but the sounds are relaxing.
This wonderful sounding fountain has a very calming and relaxing atmosphere to it as it stands surrounded by various tall perennial plants in my garden. One cannot walk by it without stopping to admire and to listen to the cascading sounds made by the various levels of the flowing water.
Very easy to install and looks great in my outside rock garden. Nice soothing sound.
Use it in my outdoor kitchen near the pool.
Very attractive and good water sound.

WACO (August 25, 2012) -- A pair of four-set wins and Alyssa Dibbern's career high 19 kills highlighted the final day of the Fairfield Inn North Baylor Classic, as the Bears took home their second-consecutive title in as many years. A 3-1 win over Nevada in match one (20-25, 28-26, 25-11, 25-10) was followed by a 3-1 (25-21, 24-26, 25-18, 25-16) victory over Tulane.
"We were without a few key pieces throughout the weekend but we persevered," head coach Jim Barnes said. "We had players step and really contribute this weekend, which shows me the depth we have in this program."
Match One
Laura Jones led the Bears' attack with 16 kills, while Alyssa Dibbern totaled 13 as Baylor came from behind to defeat Nevada 3-1 (20-25, 28-26, 25-11, 25-10) on Saturday afternoon.
BU came out a little shaky in game one, hitting -.083 and found itself down 14-20 in the second set. But the Bears came roaring back to tie on set-point, 24-24, ultimately outscoring the Wolfpack 14-6 to end the second. Dibbern and Jones combined for 13 of the team's 18 kills in the swing set.
Baylor took control in the third behind a .321 hitting mark and solid defense that forced Nevada into a -.100 percentage. The Bears took control on an 8-0 run at the hands of Mackenzie Mayo's serve, giving BU a 15-9 advantage.
Baylor jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the fourth set on the serve of Thea Munch-Soegaard and never looked back. The passing attack and precise sets from Kate Harris led the Green and Gold to swing .538 to go with zero attacking errors en route to a 25-11 win in the final set.
Harris recorded 38 assists on the day, while four Bears totaled at least 10 digs, led by Hope Ogden's 18.
Match Two
Alyssa Dibbern's career high 19 kills helped Baylor to cap off the night with a 3-1 (25-21, 24-26, 25-18, 25-16) win over Tulane.
Kate Harris registered a double-double, collecting 55 assists to go with 11 digs. Three other BU players recorded 10-plus digs, led by freshman Mackenzie Mayo's 18. Adri Nora earned the start and stepped up to deliver 13 kills and a .385 hitting percentage.
After dropping the opening point, Baylor never trailed again in the first set, as Jones picked up five of her 11 kills in the first.
The Bears trailed much of the second set before a 9-2 run gave them an 18-15 lead that would stretch to four (21-17) before the Green Wave tied it at 24 and took the sets final two points.
After the break, Baylor came out and trailed only once the rest of the night. A third set 25-18 win was led by Dibbern's seven kills and .500 hitting percentage as BU swung .412 as a team.
Baylor would trail just once in the fourth game (3-2), as Dibbern continued to take over with seven more kills in the final set, giving BU the 25-16 win
The Bears will be on the road for the next three matches, competing in the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic beginning with No. 17 California on Fri., Aug. 31 at 9 pm CT.
All-Tournament Team

Tessa Lea'ea – Nevada

Ridley Scott-Produced Halo Series Is Called 'Halo Nightfall'
Posted on Monday, June 9th, 2014 by Russ Fischer
Today at Microsoft's annual E3 press conference there was no word about the Steven Spielberg-produced Halo series that is expected to premiere in 2015. But there was some brief info on the other series based on the Halo games, which counts Ridley Scott as a producer. That one is a smaller-budgeted "digital series" originally said to be similar to Halo: Forward Until Dawn. Now we know the title: Halo Nightfall. Read More »

Franklin Templeton Shootout: Poulter, Johnson go from opposite sides in Ryder Cup to teammates this week
Two and a half months ago, Dustin Johnson and Ian Poulter were on opposite sides as the U.S. and Europe battled in the Ryder Cup.
The emotional Poulter helped spark a rally late Saturday that cut the Americans' lead to four going into the singles. And that spark was roundly credited with spurring the Europeans' comeback.
Even though that's recent history, it is history this week, because the two will be teaming together to try to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout for the second time. The first of three rounds is today at Tiburon Golf Club at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, and will be played with the modified alternate shot format.
"Well, Ryder Cup is different," said Johnson, who won in 2010 with Poulter, but neither could return last year due to scheduling conflicts. "Nobody really likes each other that week. But this is a different week. It's a fun week."
At Medinah, Poulter helped turn what had been a fun week for the Americans into a nightmare. He made five straight birdies in four-ball to what may have seemed like at the time only diminish the eventual U.S. team's victory margin.
"You can call it the zone," Poulter said of the streak. "I don't know what you would want to call it. It was a good five birdies, is what it was."
"I didn't put much stock in it then because we were four ahead," said U.S. captain Davis Love III, who is playing with Brandt Snedeker this week. "It was like 'Well, they got lucky they're not five or six behind.' But I didn't put much stock in it. We went in and sat down, and we knew he was the hot player. We knew we had guys that wanted to play him, and we tried to match that up."
Nothing matched up for the Americans, though, and Europe won an incredible eight of 11 singles matches to retain the Cup. Poulter beat U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, 2-up.
"We usually fare pretty well in the singles," said Johnson, who defeated Nicolas Colsaerts, 3 and 2. "Just wasn't meant to be. That's all I can say."
Poulter seemed to have that crazed look on his face a lot that last day and a half, especially after playing so well with the crowd many times giving him a hard time.
"Ryder Cup is Ryder Cup," he said of his demeanor. "It's not difficult to get fired up for the Ryder Cup. So yeah, everybody on both sides were fired up. It's that simple. There is no love lost there in Ryder Cup. It's just for a week every two years, thankfully.
"There's a lot of passion for it out on the golf course. Whether you feed from the five, the electricity from the fans, or whether it's just your home crowd or it's your family and friends in the crowd giving you a good pump, it's just Ryder Cup."
Two years ago, Johnson and Poulter were in much the same position — Poulter and the Europeans had pulled out a clutch victory when Graeme McDowell beat Hunter Mahan to stave off an impressive American comeback. Poulter and Johnson both won their respective singles matches.
And they were paired together at the Shootout. They fired a final-round 59 in the scramble to rally for a two-shot victory.
"Our games are very different, but yet they tie in very, very well in this format," Poulter said.
Poulter said he will tee off first, like he did in 2010, and put one out there safely so the long-hitting Johnson can rip one.
"We all know how far he hits it off the tee," Poulter said. "And given a number of these holes and pin locations out here, if he hits one out there 350, I'm probably going in with a sand iron or a lob wedge to most of the long holes. It's a fun position to be in, because my stats inside 100 yards are pretty good, and Dustin finished out pretty well. It's kind of a lethal combination. Hopefully we can jell like we did two years ago, and have some fun on Sunday afternoon."
Poulter certainly isn't going to bring up what happened at Medinah.
"Why does he want to upset me, or me upset him?" Poulter asked. "He's my partner, right? Come on. We want to try and win this thing this week. I'm not going to bring it up. There's no point."
And no, don't expect Poulter to have that Ryder Cup-look on his face this week. Or any other week that's not the Ryder Cup, for that matter.
"You can't do it," he said. "I'm not going to stand on the first hole having my eye bulging out, fist-pumping, going crazy, because they're going to go 'What is this idiot doing?' In Ryder Cup, you're going to do it. You can't do that on the first hole of a 72-hole stroke play even. Doesn't happen, but it happened in Ryder Cup. It just does.
"It's the only event in the world that is ever going to create that drama, that intensity, that pressure. But it's right. It's fitting."

...or the weather or spring or... I'm thinking we have exhausted all of those subjects in the last week... don't you?
I WILL, however, say that I just love how listeners come out of the woodwork when days, and driving conditions, show up like they did yesterday (3/21/13)! All of the sudden, my phone is ringing non-stop! And not to complain or to ask about a contest or to request a song, but to tell me where they are, what's going on and what everybody SHOULD know! It can be so much fun... especially when they have a sense of humor and can laugh at it all... because I sure tend to have fun, making fun, of me, them and whatever else I can find humor in. Like my momma always said, "better to laugh than to cry!"
I gotta say, I was having quite a difficult Thursday until 'drive time' hit and the white stuff starting messing up the streets and the calls started coming in... Before then, I was cranky, tired and even a little sad over the way my morning had gone... but it only took about 20 minutes for all that to change because of the fine folks here in the Ozarks... more specifically, the KTTS listeners! So much of the time, it can seem like I am sitting in a room, all by myself, just talking to the walls... but you have all reminded me that that is not the case. I applaud YOU and thank you for being there, helping and appreciating and making a crazy day so much better... for me, at least!
Here's to Mother Nature and all the fun that is Life In The Ozarks!
