This application is a continuation-in-part of patent application Ser. No. 164,969, filed July 1, 1980, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,360,042, which in turn is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 967,514 filed Dec. 7, 1978, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,245,924.
This invention relates to the art of pipes, tubing, and conduits. The invention finds particular application in drainage tubing used to remove excess water from agricultural fields and will be described with particular reference thereto. It is to be appreciated, however, that the invention has other applications such as septic or leach bed tubing, culverts, tunnels, subterranean conduits, other types of drainage conduits, and the like.
Conventionally, drainage tubing is used to remove excess surface and subsurface water from agricultural fields as well as from commercial and residential properties. Generally, a trench is dug in the soil by a trenching machine, the drainage tubing positioned on the floor of the trench, and the trench refilled. Water which enters the tubing at one end or at openings along its length are carried through the tubing for disposal.
Most commonly, drainage tubing is corrugated plastic tubing which is circular in cross section. The tubing constructions consist of alternating outward projecting peaks and inward projecting valleys which increase the strength and rigidity of the tubing. The interior of the peaks are hollow and form troughs which collect sediment and cause turbulence in the flow of fluids. The tubing is normally constructed of a single layer of high density, thermoplastic material. For enhanced properties a filler is sometimes added to polyvinylchloride and polypropoglene. To prevent polyethylene from being weakened by ultraviolet light, carbon black is commonly added. To allow water or other fluids to enter or exit the tubing, the tubing is usually perforated in the valley areas at spaced intervals.
An arched conduit construction is described and claimed in the present assignee's U.S. Pat. No. 4,245,924, issued January 20, 1981. In this patent, it is shown that perforating only a flat base portion of the arched conduit is at least as effective as perforating a circular conduit intermittently around its circumference.
One of the problems with the prior art tubing has been the propensity of the carbon black filler to absorb energy. When exposed to sunlight during storage, handling, and installation, the carbon black readily absorbs solar radiation. This raises the temperature of the plastic which in turn lowers its elastic modulus i.e. softens it. The softened plastic tubing is easily deformed by the weight of other tubing in storage, by mechanical installation equipment, by rough handling, by the weight of backfill, and the like.
Another problem with the prior art tubing is that perforating the corrugated top wall sometimes required interrupting the manufacturing process during the perforating. That is, the continuously moving tubing in the manufacturing line was intermittently stopped to allow the perforating process to take place. Other perforating apparatus included complex interrelated moving machinery parts, note for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,180,357 issued Dec. 25, 1979.The above-referenced arched tubing patent of the present assignee overcame this problem by perforating only the flexible base. However, it has been found desirable for some applications to have the top wall perforated as well.
Yet another problem with the prior art tubing occurs in shipping. Rigid non-foldable arched and circular tubing have a large volume due to the interior bore but relatively little weight due to the thin-walled construction. This tends to fill the volume capacity of transporting vehicles without meeting their weight capacity. To improve shipping efficiency, the arched conduit of the present assignee'above-referenced patent has a hinge at its apex area to enable the tubing to be flattened. When the hinge is defined by a sharp groove, there is a tendency for the plastic to fatigue or crack along the hinge. When the hinge is broadened, the actual fold line may vary altering the apex of the arch, hence changing the cross section of the arch and weakening it.
The present invention contemplates a new and improved conduit product which overcomes the above problems and others. It provides a new and improved arched conduit construction which is economical to manufacture, high in both impact and structural strength, easy to ship and handle, and readily adaptable to use in a broad range of practical applications.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a conduit product comprising a top wall and a generally flat base. The top wall includes a longitudinally elongated apex area having a plurality of apertures and first and second longitudinally elongated side walls having a longitudinally elongated apex edge area which is connected with the apex area. The generally flat base is operatively connectable with the first and second side walls adjacent base edge areas which are opposite from their apex edge areas.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a conduit product comprising a top wall and a generally flat base. The top wall includes a longitudinally elongated apex area and first and second longitudinally elongated side walls which are operatively connected with the apex area. At least one of the apex area and the first and second side walls has a plurality of dimples thereon such that the top wall is conveyable past a sharp blade in such a manner that the blade severs the dimples creating apertures through the top wall. The generally flat base is operatively connectable with the first and second side wall base edge areas.
One advantage of the present invention is that it provides a conduit construction which is easier to manufacture and perforate.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it yet is stronger, it requires less plastic material to manufacture.
Yet other advantages of the present invention include that it inhibits heat build up, it is foldable to reduce its bulk, it protects filter materials from damage during storage and shipping, it has improved fluid flow characteristics, and it reduces the amount of collected sediment.
Still other advantages and benefits of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
The invention may take physical form in certain parts and arrangements of parts. The drawings are only for the purpose of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conduit construction in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a conduit construction in accordance with the present invention before being perforated;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view through section 3--3 of FIG. 2 with an aperture or severed dimple illustrated on the right hand corrugation for clearer illustration of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the conduit construction of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 illustrates a preferred perforating process in conjunction with a corrugated tubing product; and,
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of an alternate embodiment if a conduit construction in accordance with the present invention.
With primary reference to FIG. 1, the conduit construction includes a top wall A which is strong relative to top compressive loading forces and a base B which is relatively strong in tension. The top wall A includes a longitudinally elongated apex or hinge area 10 which extends along the length of the conduit construction. A first longitudinally elongated side wall 12 has a longitudinally elongated apex edge area 14 and a longitudinally elongated base edge area 16. The first side wall apex edge area is connected longitudinally with the apex area 10. Adjacent the first side wall base edge area 16, the first side wall has an outward extending foot or flange portion 18 and a downward extending claw portion 20. When installed, the claw portion 20 digs into the soil to anchor the base edge areas against moving toward each other folding or collapsing the conduit. Extending generally between the first side wall apex and base edge areas are a plurality of alternating peaks 22 and valleys 24. The first side wall peaks have apex ends 26 which taper from a corrugation height of about 0.190-0.250 inches to the valley level along a generally semiround interface area. The alternating first side wall peaks and valleys provide a transverse corrugation along the first side wall such that the first side wall is corrugated. p A second longitudinally elongated side wall 32 has a longitudinally elongated apex edge area 34 and a longitudinally elongated base edge area 36. The second side wall apex edge area 34 is connected with the apex area 10. Adjacent the second side wall base edge area 36, is an outward extending second side wall foot or flange portion 38 and a downward extending claw portion 40. Disposed transversely generally between the second side wall apex and base edge areas are a plurality of alternating second side wall peak portions 42 and valley portions 44. The second side wall peaks have apex ends 46 which taper from a corrugation height of about 0.190-0.250 inches down to the valley level along a generally semiround interface area.
The apex area 10 and the first and second side wall valleys 24 and 44 define a continuous arch cross section. The apex area is sufficiently flexible that it functions as a hinge about which the first and second side walls are foldable. The first and second side wall peak apex ends 26 and 46 which are disposed closely adjacent each other to define a longitudinal fold line or hinge region along the apex ends, are displaced by about twice the thickness of the apex area, i.e. about 0.125 to 0.160 inches. Optionally, the apex area 10 and the first and second side wall peaks may define a continuous arch with the valleys recessed therebelow. As yet another option, the peaks may extend across the apex area removing the ready apex folding property of the conduit. To facilitate the ingress or egress of fluids into the conduit product, a plurality of apex apertures 50 are disposed in the apex area 10. The apex apertures are centered along the apex hinge region at its intersection with corrugation valleys. The apex apertures define weakened spots along the hinge region to assist in centering the fold. Preferably, the apex apertures are about 0.1-0.250 inches in diameter. A plurality of first side wall apertures 52 are disposed in the peak portions 22 of the first side wall and second side wall aperture portions 54 are diposed in second peak portions 42 of the second side wall.
In the preferred embodiment, the base portion B is a flexible sheet which is connectable adjacent the first and second side wall base end edges 16 and 36. More specifically, the base B is attached to the flange portions 18 and 38. Further to the preferred embodiment, the base B is a sheet of extruded porous hydrophilic plastic material. The porous material, such as netting or mesh, is sufficiently fine that it blocks soil and sand particles from entering the conduit while allowing fluids to enter and leave. A mesh having apertures with a nominal size on the order of 100 to 300 microns is preferred. Optionally, other apertured sheets may be utilized, such as spun bonded materials, slit or slotted fluid impermeable sheets, and the like. Preferred porous plastic materials include DELNET plastic netting from the Hercules Corporation or CONWED plastic netting from the Conwed Company.
With particular reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the top wall A is a layered plastic construction. The top wall has an inner layer 60 of a first plastic material and an outer layer 62 of a second plastic material. In the preferred embodiment, the inner plastic material is polyethylene with carbon black filler and the outer layer 62 is polyethylene with a titanium dioxide filler. This provides the exterior of the top wall with a white, light reflective surface which inhibits the conduit from becoming warm when stored in sunlight. This retards the top wall from becoming softer or decreasing its elastic modulus from an increase in heat and from becoming deformed or damaged. Optionally, other combinations of layers of material may be used, such as expanded polymeric material which is expanded with a CELLOGEN additive in amounts to cause a 20 to 40% reduction in the specific gravity. Other top wall materials include virgin and reprocessed polymers, polyethylene, polyurethane, nylon, polyvinyle chloride, styrene polymers, and the like.
With reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the top wall A of the conduit product is initially formed with a dimple where each of the apertures is to be located. Specifically, the apex area 10 is molded with a plurality of dimples 70 projecting outward therefrom. The first side wall peak portions 22 have dimples 72 projecting outward therefrom and the second side wall peak portions 42 have dimples 74 projecting outwardly therefrom. In the preferred embodiment, dimples are disposed on alternate peaks of the side walls. Optionally, on conduit in which the top wall is open along one edge rather than closed as in circular conduit, the dimple may project inward from the apex area and the valleys.
With reference to FIG. 5, the apex and side wall apertures are formed by passing the conduit along knife blades such that the dimples are severed. To emphasize that the formation of apertures from dimples is also applicable to circular and other shaped conduit, circular conduit is illustrated in FIG. 5. The circular conduit has a circular corrugated side wall 12' having alternating peak portions 22' and valley portions 24'. Projecting outward from the peak portions are a plurality of dimples 72' and 74' which are severed to form apertures 52' and 54'. A dimple severing means 80' includes a horizontally disposed guide surface 82 along which the dimples slide. A knife blade 84 is disposed adjacent a downstream end of the horizontal surface 82. The guide surface has a guide portion 86 which extends below the knife blade 84 to inhibit the dimples from flipping out of contact with the blade and being only partially severed. A like severing means 80' severs the other longitudinally disposed row of dimples 72'. If the top wall is open on one side or able to be opened outward, the dimples may project inward and the severing means may be disposed along the interior of the top wall.
The present invention is applicable to corrugated and non-corrugated conduits of various stages in addition to the parabolicly arched conduit of FIGS. 1-4 and the circular conduit of FIG. 5. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the conduit may have a generally triangularly arched cross section. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, like elements with the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4 are denoted with the same reference numeral followed by a double prime ("). The top wall A includes an apex area 10", a first side wall 12", and a second side wall 32". The first side wall has alternate peaks 22" and valleys 24" and projecting dimples 72" which are severable to form side wall apertures. The second side wall 32" has alternating peaks 42" and valleys 44". Side wall apertures 54" are formed in the valleys or peaks by severing projecting dimples.
The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceeding detailed description. It is our intention that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

text: Bob Morton, president of the board of directors of Portsmouth Murals Inc., said the murals honoring the Portsmouth Spartans and Branch Rickey that were removed last fall will be repainted in June. "(Robert) Dafford is due back the first of June. We hope to have them both done by the end of August, if not sooner," Morton said. He said Portsmouth Murals Inc., will rededicate the Branch Rickey Mural with a celebration on August 28th. "August 28th is the day Branch Rickey signed the contract with Jackie Robinson," Morton said. "We thought that would be a great day to rededicate the mural."Morton said Dafford will restore the murals back to the original form. "If you've noticed the wall it's got a coating on it. We hope that coating is going to be the answer to some of our maintenance problems that we've had with those two murals," Morton said. The two murals were first painted in 1994, using a different primer that what's currently suggested. The murals were taken down because the primer underneath was starting to fail and would have effected the mural. "He's (Dafford) going to replace the murals for $10,000 per-mural," Morton said. "We made enough money from the baseball banquet to pay for the restoration. It looks like we are in good shape right now." According to www.sciotocountyohio.com "the purpose of the floodwall mural project is to create an outdoor art gallery depicting the last two centuries of the history of Portsmouth and the surrounding area. The section of floodwall included in the project is 20 feet high and extends for 2,090 feet along Front Street in the historic Boneyfiddle District of downtown Portsmouth. Painting began in 1993."

Olivia Longott is a busy woman, but we're so lucky and thrilled that she's going to be giving us some exclusive episode commentary every week during this season of Love And Hip Hop.
Hmmmm… So I see u guys enjoyed last night's show. Where can we start today with Chrissy and Kim, or Kim and Em? Let's start with Kim and Em. lol
I'm so proud of Emily for standing her ground and letting Kim know that she didn't, doesn't, and won't ever agree with her past actions, but it's also big of Kim to try and make amends. I will not discuss the hair on fire incident, let's just leave that alone. And fyi, I was superimposed with men on my lap — that was not me. Now although the party was fun and I had a good time with the girls, as far as Chrissy and Kim, I think Kim tryin' to get an apology is never gonna happen. What needs to happen is they just need to stay away from each other and keep the peace. Nancy, Jim and Chrissy, I'm glad things are going well and they have finally gotten to the point where they are giving each other a chance.
Yandy and Chrissy we just have to wait and see…
(And by the way, we here at the VH1 Blog know that despite what Wayne Williams thinks, "December" is still at the top of our charts, so go ahead and download it over on iTunes!)

Product description
In America Karl Rossmann is 'packed off to America by his parents' to experience Oedipal and cultural isolation. Here, ordinary immigrants are also strange, and 'America' is never quite as real as it should be. Kafka, a Czech writing in German, never acutally visited America; so, as Max Brod commented, 'the innocence of his fantasy gives this book if advanture its peculiar colour.' Both Joseph K in The Trial and K in The Castle are victims of anonymous governing forces beyond their control. Both are atomised, estranged and rootless citizens decieved by authoritarian power. Whereas Joseph K is relentlessly hunted down for a crime that remains nameless, K ceaselessly attempts to enter the castle and so belong somewhere. Together these novels may be read as powerful allegories of totalitarian government in whatever guise it appears today.

Author information
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the state Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; The Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. Only a few of his friends knew that Kafka was also at work on the great novels that were published after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial, and The Castle.
Review quote
"He is the greatest German writer of our time. Such poets as Rilke or such novelists as Thomas Mann are dwarfs or plaster saints in comparison to him" -- Vladimir Nabokov "Kafka described with wonderful imaginative power the future concentration camps, the future instability of the law, the future absolutism of the state, the paralysed, inadequately motivated, floundering lives of the many individual people; everything appeared as a nightmare and with the confusion and inadequacy of a nightmare" -- Bertolt Brecht

Some Music for Grown-Ups
By BooMama.
Once upon a time I was very hip and with it and now when it came to music. At any given point in the 90s, in fact, I could tell you what song was at the top of the charts, how long it had been there, and what nine songs were right behind it. My CD collection (and, in high school, my rockin' cassette collection) ran the gamut from classical to country to alternative with everything in between, and I marveled when people who were only 10 or 15 years older than I was said that they had "lost touch" with the music scene and "weren't interested" and "had never heard of Blues Traveler."
Oh. THE HORROR.
But then I became a mama. And while I managed to hang on to some of "my" music during the first year of motherhood, by year two I was regularly listening to the melodic stylings of singing vegetables on a daily basis. I don't mean to brag, of course, but even now I could sing the entire Veggie Tales canon from memory. Maybe even a cappella. And with an impersonation of Madame Blueberry that would make you weep.
Four or five years ago I decided that as much as I treasured the countless hours that I'd spent with singing vegetables and puppets and lambs and dogs, it was high time to reclaim my iPod – and to reclaim it with authority. I felt like I was up-to-speed with praise and worship music, but as far as pop? Or rock? Or folk? Or pretty much anything else? I was clueless. However, with the help of some musically minded friends, I started to discover some new-to-me artists with unmistakably grown-up sounds and mercifully kid-friendly lyrics (for the most part – but certainly nothing worse than I heard when I was 4 and "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" was all the rage on the radio).
Here are a few of my favorites.
1. Amos Lee – As The Crow Flies
Amos Lee's heartfelt, unpretentious vocals mix perfectly with the laid-back, acoustic feel of his songs. Part blues, part country, part folk, and part-all-his-own-thing, Lee will make you long for an opportunity to hang out and relax with the people you love most. Depending on what kind of mood I'm in, listening to Amos Lee either makes me want to snuggle up next to a roaring fire or sit outside and watch the sunset. And at the end of a long day, when you're so worn down and weary that it feels like your brain is tired, a little Amos Lee makes everything better. You'll want to sit on a porch swing and sing along.
2. Ben Rector – Something Like This
I don't want to overstate it, but I'm pretty sure that Ben Rector is a genius. He plays about 426 instruments (give or take a few, of course), writes all his music and lyrics, and sings like a dream. It's a little scary to think about how prolific and versatile he is at only 25 years old, but I cannot wait to see what's in store for him down the musical road. His clever cover of I Wanna Dance With Somebody will make you smile, and his consistently thoughtful lyrics – combined with inventive pop arrangements – will make you a believer in his talent. He's an up-and-comer for sure.
3. The Civil Wars – Barton Hollow
You'll be relieved to know (or, I don't know, maybe you won't) that The Civil Wars don't sing about the battles between the North and South in the 1860s. The Civil Wars do, however, sing about the sometimes paradoxical battles of love and marriage and life. Joy Williams and John Paul White create stunning harmonies against the backdrop of folk/country melodies, and their songs will haunt you – in the best possible ways – long after you press pause on your iPod. The Civil Wars offer storytelling at its finest, and as an added bonus, that storytelling is in musical form.
4. Dave Barnes – Stories To Tell
The first time I heard a Dave Barnes CD, my immediate reaction was Well, my word. It sounds like home. Sure enough, Dave Barnes and I share the same home state (Mississippi), and he's translated that blues-y heritage into his own unique style of pop music. His latest CD, Stories To Tell, speaks so eloquently about the joys of love and family, and in my opinion it's his best CD yet. At its core the music still sounds like home, but now home has a brass section, a strings section, and a collection of catchy choruses that I sing to myself all. day. long. You'll love it – and your family will, too.
5. NEEDTOBREATHE – The Reckoning
I've never been much of a rock-n-roll girl. There have been exceptions, of course – like when I was in college and got a wee bit obsessed with The Black Crowes – but by and large I've favored the acoustic, singer-songwriter types. Several years ago, though, my husband and I went to a concert, where NEEDTOBREATHE opened for the headlining act. After the guys from NEEDTOBREATHE played approximately four measures of Washed By The Water, I looked at my husband and said, "Oh. I am pretty sure that I'm going to adore them forever." Judging by how loudly I was playing the The Reckoning – which, by the way, is honest, compelling and real – in our kitchen last Saturday, I'd say that my prediction was accurate.
6. Sara Groves – Invisible Empires
Sometimes, when I'm feeling really stressed, I listen to Sara Groves. Nobody captures the holiness of the ordinary more beautifully than she does, and her voice pretty much personifies the word "angelic." But don't let the sweet voice fool you; there's not one iota of fluff in her lyrics, and the wisdom – my goodness at the wisdom. Each song is like a great poem that needs to be unwrapped, pondered, analyzed, then put back together again. If you've been looking for calm, soothing music that will feed your soul, look no further. I'd also suggest keeping a Sara Groves CD in your car at all times, mainly because 1) she sings real pretty-like and 2) the sound of her voice completely eliminates road rage.
Before they released their last CD, Scars & Stories, The Fray did something brilliant: they streamed the album on iTunes for free. And while I don't exactly know how many times I listened to that free stream, I do know that it was enough that I halfway expected to get a bill from their record label. I listened to it over and over and over, and when I could finally by a copy of my very own on the release date, I proceeded to listen to it over and over and over again. Be aware that a few of the songs are probably better suited for date night than for running errands with the kids, but my goodness this music is a treasure. It's smart, complex, and utterly enjoyable. Yay for The Fray.
What about y'all? What are some of your favorites these days? Any great musicians or albums that the rest of us need to know about or may have overlooked?

THANK YOU – new several, but several are new..
it will be a nice break from the baby signing time tunes & veggie tales norm!
Janet On Monday, April 16 at 7:08 pm
I highly recommend Patty Griffin– she has several albums and goes through different musical phases. Her latest, Downtown Church, is gospel, but her other albums are singer-songwriter folky with occasional blasts of rock and roll.
Also absolutely love Tift Merritt's See You On The Moon.
Amos Lee has a beautiful animated video of Flower on Youtube right now.
Marissa On Monday, April 16 at 7:15 pm
Little Big Town is an amazing band with perfect harmonies! They are definitely worth checking out. =)
Andrea P. On Monday, April 16 at 7:22 pm
Oh definitely anything by Amos Lee. I love As the Crow Flies, but you should definitely check out everything else by Amos, including Amos Lee and Supply and Demand. If you like Amos Lee, I also recommend the Zac Brown Band. These two together will ease all your pain! I spend a lot of time studying (4th year pharmacy student) and when I need some music to listen to during more intense studying, I love listening to Rodrigo y Gabriela. Acoustic guitar at its finest. My favorite from their self-titled album is Tamacun.
Shannon On Monday, April 16 at 8:06 pm
If you like that Amos Lee album, then you'll love his "Mission Bell" album. I'm also loving Counting Crows' "August & Everything After – Live at Town Hall." You MUST listen to the "Rain King" track – it's got a fun Bruce Springsteen gem on it. Josh RItter's "So Runs the World Away" is amazing, and Kathleen Edwards' "Voyageur" is wonderful.
I can't wait to check out the music you suggested!
Sue K On Monday, April 16 at 8:13 pm
Tyrone Wells – new album Where We Meet – well, I love all his music!
Kat D On Monday, April 16 at 8:15 pm
Less well-known, but still wonderful: Jeffery Foucoult and Michael Perry & The Longbeds,
I also love Jack Johnson, Carolina Chocolate Drops, William Elliot Whitman, and throw in a little Counting Crows to round it out.
Laura B On Monday, April 16 at 8:24 pm
I would add Matraca Berg to your list. She is an amazing singer/songwriter and has just released her first new album in a long time – "The Dreaming Fields". One the songs on it 'You and Tequila' that she wrote, was recorded by Kenney Chesney – her version is the one that should be getting airplay – it is sooo much better. But the whole album is full of amazing songs – love her!
I have her earlier albums as well and I highly recommend them too. She has written all of my favourite country songs – including, but not limited to 'Strawberry Wine', 'American Girl', 'X's and O's', 'Wild Angels', and many more. But the songs I really like best are the ones she saves for herself. To say she is a prolific songwriter is an understatement.
Renea On Monday, April 16 at 8:34 pm
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! When I was younger I swore I would stay up with whatever music was "current" — I didn't count on disliking what might become "current" however. While I enjoy most styles of music, I have been listening to jazz for 30+ years and am sadly out of touch with good new music. Thank you for sharing your favorites — I love new music and am looking forward to discovering these artists.
Corky h On Monday, April 16 at 8:35 pm
Try Grey Reverend's album "of the days". Singer songwriter and excellent guitar skills.
Kayla Vance On Monday, April 16 at 8:41 pm
Omg! I love the Civil Wars! I love the Fray! I love NEEDTOBREATHE!
I will have to check out this Ben Rector and get Sara Groves cd.
If you like the Civil Wars check out the punch brothers! Gotta love 'em
Candie On Monday, April 16 at 8:55 pm
I loved this post! I am always looking for new music!
Daisy Boots On Monday, April 16 at 9:52 pm
love, Love, LOVE John Mark McMillian!!! must,, Must, MUST listen to him. Both of his albums The Medicine and Economy are on Spotify…..
WiFarmChick On Monday, April 16 at 9:56 pm
Fernando Ortega….Rich Mullins
Chris S On Monday, April 16 at 9:57 pm
Thanks so much for the list! I can tell that we have similar taste in music. I love Civil Wars and Amos Lee. Running straight to Amazon to listen to the others. I see lots of familiar artists mentioned in the comments, too, so I'll have to take some notes and see what else I can find there.
Lindsay On Monday, April 16 at 10:11 pm
I think we have the same taste in music. I LOVE all of the artists and albums that made your list. I would also add Audrey Assad, Nichole Nordeman, Brooke Fraser, Brandon Heath and Lindsay Mccaul… All of these artists offer the same singer-songwriter vibe you seem to love with a lot of substance. Also, Ellie Holcomb (from Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors) recently released a great little EP called Magnolia that's based on the Psalms. It's beautiful, and based on your picks here, I bet you'd love it.
Michelle On Monday, April 16 at 10:45 pm
I too love sara groves. Her song "less like scars" carried me through some really tough times with one of my precious sons. If any of you have a "prodical child", i hope you will put her lyrics in your heart, and ipod too. Blessings.
Kristina K. On Monday, April 16 at 10:51 pm
I'm a big Amos Lee fan and am excited to see him on your list. I haven't heard any of the others and look forward to trying them out.
One suggestion: Brandi Carlile — The Story
Chris S On Monday, April 16 at 11:03 pm
I'm back with some more artists to add to the list. Had to go and check my iTunes to make sure I didn't miss any great newer stuff. Here are a few I don't think have been mentioned yet: Angelique Kidjo, Trombone Shorty, Vienna Teng, Dar Williams, The Decembrists, Grace Weber, Heather Masse, Justin Townes Earle. I can't wait to listen to some of the suggestions!
Dayna On Tuesday, April 17 at 11:24 am
Yes, yes, yes to Trombone Shorty!! He's an amazing talent and Backatown is a fantastic album.
Cyndi Adams On Monday, April 16 at 11:12 pm
My favs at 52 are – Maroon 5, Train, Pink, Gautier, Evanescene, Aerosmith, Nickleback, Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson and new to the scene Gautier. His voice is so incredible and the songs so simple. I would love to post a link to Gautier songs here but I don't know how to. :o(
Lester On Tuesday, April 17 at 12:06 am
Matt Nathanson (his newest with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland is wonderful)
Will Daley
Kings of Leon
Mazzy Star
Gary Allen
and of course Adele
Not all of those are all child appropriate, but are great grown up music.
My all time go-to is The Dave Matthews Band.
Chrissa ~ a tad bit creative On Tuesday, April 17 at 4:07 am
Like the look of that list! I'm always on the lookout for some new music to try, so thanks!
I had a chuckle at your Veggie Tales memories – I taught 6-year-old for a couple of years so I can kinda relate!!
Sarah On Tuesday, April 17 at 6:44 am
The Avett Brothers, Ree. I have been following them around for 5 years now…their lyrics, the emotion that they put into the songs, the way that they perform live. It's rustic perfection! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eM3QgXd3Rg
Helen in Oh On Tuesday, April 17 at 7:20 am
Thank-you so much for this post. Now I know how to update my music. Thank-you sooo much.
Holly On Tuesday, April 17 at 7:22 am
Well…there went my next paycheck. iTunes, here I come! I LOVE Ben Rector and recently hear the Civil Wars, but don't have their albums yet. Everyone's suggestions look so wonderful. I just need to figure out how to keep my old stuff in itunes and only upload the new HIP stuff to the ipod. Anyone want to write a post with an iPod tutorial?
Mary On Tuesday, April 17 at 5:01 pm
You just need to store the music for your iPod in a separate folder (name it 'iPod'), within your iTunes Music folder (located on your hard drive, if you have a PC, in My Documents – My Music – iTunes – iTunes Music). When you sync up your iPod, browse for the iPod folder and it will load only that music onto your iPod. And when you want to update your iTunes, it will include everything that is located in the iTunes Music folder, including your iPod music.
patimk On Tuesday, April 17 at 7:48 am
At 55 years old – I'm still a concert girl. Thanks for this post. Some others you might like are Andrew Bird, Death Cab for Cutie, David Gray, Fleet Foxes and I know the youngsters love them but so do I – Foster the People and Black Keys!
ValerieMN On Tuesday, April 17 at 8:17 am
Perfect timing! I have been feeling very musically-challenged lately. An new ipod is in my future and loading it up with cool music will be such a treat! When I bought my first ipod years ago, I asked my friends to each tell me the name of their favorite song – whatever genre or time period. Then I bought all those songs – a great way to experience new music!
zoom On Tuesday, April 17 at 8:32 am
When I first read this post, it made me feel really out of touch. I have not heard of one of these bands. Having said that, my curiosity is in high gear and I can't wait to explore these bands. Thanks Boomama!
wandak On Tuesday, April 17 at 8:46 am
All things Pearl Jam and Linkin Park! They just continue to put out such great music…
Debbie S. On Tuesday, April 17 at 8:54 am
Wow. Have never listened to any of these (except the Fray) but I have got me a collection built now on Playlist.com. These groups are awesome! Thanks! I, too, have been in a musical rut (but my collection is the '70s).
CoCowgirl On Tuesday, April 17 at 9:01 am
Thank you for this post and to all of you who commented! I have been looking for some great new music to down load for my Ipod. I now have 10 Plus bands/singers to look into. Thank you for saving me lots of time. Check out Templeton Thompson if you get a chance!
Sharon C. On Tuesday, April 17 at 9:21 am
Has any one mentioned Ryan Adams yet? He is soooo good. He's got so many albums out and he is so gifted and talented. Hardly ever hear him on the radio. He's my favorite. I will definitly be trying out alot of those previously mentioned.
Patrice Sarath On Tuesday, April 17 at 9:46 am
Wow Boo Mama! We have the same tastes and you hipped me to some new bands. Thanks! Awesome!
Christine C On Tuesday, April 17 at 9:50 am
I am so thankful for good christian and other positive music!! If you like your music a little more rocking but want to hear the gospel message, check out this new Christian rock band, CrossTie, (www.crosstiemusic.com). It is a DAD and his three sons (ages 10-16), and they are all so talented!! I think it is great to see familes coming together to spread a positive message!
Lesley On Tuesday, April 17 at 9:53 am
The Civil Wars' album is one of my favorites thus far this year.
A recent-ish album that is pretty kid-appropriate is The Damnwells' "No One Listens To The Band Anymore" (my favorite of theirs is actually an earlier album, but it's a little rougher).
Also, Alabama Shakes…their debut just came out last week and they're fantastic!
Winnipeg Girl On Tuesday, April 17 at 10:14 am
Thank you for the great list – I knew a few names and Love love love the Civil Wars – and was so thrilled to see the few shout-outs for Canadian bands!!!! Blue Rodeo is a must, Kathleen Edwards too – and the Wailing Jennies are Winnipeg girls. Don't miss them. If you like them, check out the band "Nathan" – also Winnipeggers. A little more rock-n-roll but still amazing intelligent story-telling in the lyrics: The Weakerthans – Winnipeg boys with lead singer and songwriter that every Winnipeg woman is a little in love with – John K. Samson. Check them all out. We may be the Great White North but we grow good music.
Kristin Davison On Tuesday, April 17 at 10:48 am
Gosh!! I Have sooo many. I really love nearly everything!!! I really guess that I am only just now coming to appreciate Lionel Richie ( I know!) and I love anything country!!! I am from Texas so we LOVE our Texas Country down here! Kevin Fowler, Stoney Larue, Randy Rogers, Bart Crow, Aaron Watson!! I to, am in LOVE with The Civil Wars ever since I saw them on the Grammys for like 2 1/2 minutes!! Instant love!

How DOES one stay hip and with it in the music world? I'd like to know!
I really need help when it comes to this stuff. I haven't heard of the musicians you mentioned, but I'm excited to listen to their work!! Thanks so much for sharing this.
Feel free to do so again anytime!!
Missy On Tuesday, April 17 at 10:52 am
If you're not from the Northeast (and even if you are) you probably haven't heard the folky, fun band Pesky J. Nixon. They have a new album out right now of covers – some folk classics like Dylan, some odd but interesting pop covers, and a bunch of other original folkie's songs. You can name your own price for the album at BandCamp http://peskyjnixon.bandcamp.com/. They're well worth a listen!
Kim On Tuesday, April 17 at 10:53 am
I think you would enjoy JJ Grey and Mofro; JJ writes all the songs and they definitely sound like home to me.
Ann On Tuesday, April 17 at 11:41 am
Trampled by Turtles- an absolute MUST! Bluegrass on steroids! Also hailing from Duluth, Minnesota, Ida Jo, a phenomenal violin player now based out of Madison, Wisconsin. Both worth a listen! And then there would be The Head and the Heart, they wish they were from Minnesota!
Tina K On Tuesday, April 17 at 4:16 pm
yes! Love Trampled and Head adn the Heart. Just beyond marvelous

My college kids were small in the 90s so they grew up with singing vegetables. Apparently, a lot of kids did. They went to FL on spring break and went to some ocean thingy, where they had…manatees! My daughter said all these college kids broke out into a rousing rendition of Barbara Manatee.
Anne On Tuesday, April 17 at 11:56 am
I created a Pandora "station" based on your selections, and I'm loving it!! I've long been a fan of sweet Sara Groves and her lyrics that resonate, nudge, and time after time cause me to say "Yes…that's what I feel!" Thanks for the suggestions!

If you like instrumental music, esp piano & cellow, you should check out The Piano Guys. They have a channel on youtube and you can buy their music on itunes.
Stephanie W. On Tuesday, April 17 at 3:49 pm
I am in love with The Lumineers right now. Their debut album just came out a couple of ago and they very literally put a smile on my face. Their music is fun, smart, folky, haunting, rustic, everything I love. They classify it as Roots Revival music. I love them so so much! Also I'm stuck on Mumford and Sons right now.
Tina K On Tuesday, April 17 at 4:15 pm
It seems we share about the same taste in music since I love everything you had listed. I hadn't heard of #2 or #4, but I will definitely give them a try.
Here are some I think you'd like: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, The Alabama Shakes (PLEASE, for me, check them out if you don't do anything else…please), The Head and the Heart….I'll list more once my iPod is charged.
Stuart Buck On Tuesday, April 17 at 4:23 pm
You should check out Deas Vail ("servant of God"). The lead singer has this beautiful boy-choir-ish tenor voice, and their songs "Atlantis" and "Shoreline" are some of the most beautiful rock songs I've heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=215a2CI-OlM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJrBFx6YpWI
"Birds" is another great song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-3_dAVJIrQ&feature=related

Love Ben Rector and Need to Breathe!!!! My daughter saw them together in Los Angles. She died.
Try the Ben Rector station on Pandora. You will not be disappointed!!!!
I loved the Whitney cover. I ran across it just after her passing.
I agree, he is a genius.
Stuart Buck On Tuesday, April 17 at 4:40 pm
Another good one, albeit in the country genre, is Eden's Edge. The lead singer (Hannah Blaylock) is the sister of Deas Vail's lead singer (Wes Blaylock). They've had some touring success lately — in the past year, they've toured with Reba, Lady Antebellum, and Brad Paisley. Here's how they often close their sets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7krWHnDJau0

I am never very hip when it comes to music but I am proud to say that my college roommate who knows what's going on with music took me to a Civil Wars concert last spring at a small coffee shopish venue on our campus. It was a really intimate audience, probably under 100 people, and we talked with them afterwards and took pictures. I had never heard of them before this. Good music and great voices. Their voices did all of the work on the stage. I also saw Dave Barnes in concert a few years ago and he was really fun. Probably more up my alley than The Civil Wars because he is a bit less mellow and folky. Check out his earlier CD "Me You and The World."
Brenda On Tuesday, April 17 at 7:43 pm

The sad thing is (other then the fact that I don't yet have an I-anything) is the "record" store in our town closed down about a month ago. They always seemed to have exactly what I wanted.

Marisa Avery On Monday, April 23 at 8:24 am
Latecomer to this post, but I had to drop in to give a few brilliant options based on what we put out there.
The Carolina Chocolate Drops–three piece group on the banjo, fiddle, and bottle/spoons. Purely wonderful–old tyme string band. Male and female vox. AND, on their latest album, Leaving Eden, just released in Feb, they covered You Be Illin' by Run DMC. Sting band style. This should certainly harken back to your heyday of music! the whole album is wonderful.
#2–Agree with the Avett Brothers comments. They're just marvelous…and so high energy in person.
#3–Eilen Jewell–Gillian Welch meets Billie Holiday. Songwriting wonder mixed with a rich, rich voice.
#4–Bon Iver–Some people have trouble with the falsetto and the stripped down instrumentals, but once you sit back and let it wash over you, it could just bring tears to your eyes. His lyrics are really so beautiful.
#5–Alabama Shakes–Soul. Blues. Rock. Brittany Howard's power voice.Clean. Good. Fun.
#6–Imelda May–Irish rockabilly with a handfull of country tossed in for the grit. 'Nuff said.

When award-winning printer Gavin Martin Associates introduced vegetable inks, they were keen to share the news - and reassure customers that their high standards wouldn't be compromised. Our solution consists of a giant vegetable complete with 1st place rosette to carry all the details. The announcement coincided with Hallowe'en, so we plumped for a giant pumpkin.

She gets fed up with the Goddess saying "Ta-daaa" whenever she appears, and thus curses her by turning her into stone. It is possible for the player to marry the Witch, but in order to do so, the player must show extreme neglect for his animals and personal well-being. Her hut is just outside Ramona's Villa. Island of Happiness The player can meet the Witch Princess once the bridge to the forest has been completed. Just as in Harvest Moon DS, she and the Harvest Goddess are rivals, but the most that ever comes out of it is bickering between the two ladies. Again, it is possible for a male character to marry her, but this time there are no special requirements in order to do so. Animal March (a.k.a.

She can be returned to her normal form when the player works on the Green Bell quest. She is quite easy to befriend, and if a male player should decide to marry her, he will learn her true name.

Gaza Strip: Palestinians kill two collaborators
A Palestinian policeman early Monday reportedly threw two hand grenades into a jail cell in Gaza City holding prisoners accused of collaborating with Israel.
Seven people were wounded in the attack, according to Palestinian security sources.
The assault appeared to be an attempt to killed Walid Hamdiya, who is accused of helping Israel assassinate leaders of the Palestinian uprising. Hamdiya was sentenced to death by the Palestinian Authority's State Security Court. He was a well-known Hamas activist who already a decade go caused the deaths of several high-ranking members of the Hamas military wing, including Imad Aqel.
Hamdiya is one of two prisoners whose injuries medics said were serious. Later, Al Jazeera TV reported that one of the wounded died.
In addition, a second suspected Palestinian collaborator who had been injured in the earlier grenade attack was executed by five masked gunmen in his hospital bed on Monday.
Mahmud al-Sharif was shot in the head by the gunmen who had burst onto his ward in the city's Al Shifa hospital, hospital sources said.
Sources within the Islamic Jihad said that the 45-year-old was suspected of having supplied the Israeli forces with information which led to the killing of one the group's leaders some 10 years ago. (albawaba.com)

Well I tried. But I was told I was sane. The social thing is ingrained since 1972. Often where I worked I had to fade into the background. I was the smallest there and often copped a beating. I once got dropped off in the desert and told to find me way home with just a flask of water. I can be unseen whenever I like. Simply not be noticed. I made it an art. I once lived in a house with people who didn't see me for 2 months.
Strange that I became a musician and played on TV and in concert. At least I got good at it. Just last night a top Sydney musician\teacher told me I am the best funk drummer in the city. "You should be out there playing! " Funny as I do not specialise in funk. It felt good and was what inspired me to buy the wine to celebrate what seemed a personal little victory.

Room 22: Alexander the Great
Portrait statuette of Socrates
Greek, about 200 BC - AD
Said to be from Alexandria, Egypt
Socrates (469-399 BC) is considered to be the intellectual father of modern Western philosophy. His method of enquiry was to enter into a penetrating discussion with his companions, questioning the nature of knowledge itself in pursuit of absolute truths. Socrates himself wrote nothing, but versions of his conversations are recorded in the written works of his pupils Plato and Xenophon.
Socrates' pursuit of true knowledge brought him into conflict with the piety laws of his native Athens, where his eventual prosecution led to enforced suicide.
to both Plato and Xenophon, Socrates' physical appearance -
portly, pug-nosed, fleshy-lipped - was like that of a

GCU, Federal Officials Set to Sign Official Memorandum of Understanding March 12
Lakewood, N.J., Mar. 6, 2012—Georgian Court University will celebrate its sustainability efforts and expanded partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as outlined in a new Memorandum of Understanding set to be signed by GCU President Rosemary E. Jeffries, RSM, Ph.D., and the EPA's Lisa Plevin on Monday, March 12 at 10:00 a.m. on GCU's historic Lakewood campus next to the solar array in front of the Wellness Center. The event is free and open to the public.
Ms. Plevin, chief of staff to EPA Region 2 Administrator Judith Enck, will join GCU as the campus community pledges to continue reducing its carbon footprint. GCU has also agreed to participate in a range of voluntary EPA programs designed to broaden the university's sustainability initiatives and further incorporate sustainability practices into the GCU culture.
"While the notion of 'going green' has become increasingly popular in recent years, Georgian Court's vision of sustainability is not limited to being eco-friendly," says GCU's President Jeffries, who was one of the original signatories of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment five years ago. "Sustainability is about bringing the earth into balance, and making choices that go beyond what we can live with—it's about making environmental, social, economic, and personal choices that future generations can live with."
From the solar panels on campus that help heat and cool academic buildings to GCU's new minor in sustainability, Georgian Court is dedicated to environmental stewardship in many ways. Monday's formal agreement with the EPA reinforces that commitment. With the MOU, GCU will:
As part of the agreement, Georgian Court will provide the EPA with an MOU status update each year, beginning September 1, 2012. Data reported to the EPA will be used to determine the environmental benefits associated with the university's sustainability activities.
For more information about Georgian Court's special initiatives, visit www.georgian.edu/sustainability.htm, or contact Louise Wootton, Ph.D., GCU Director of Sustainability, at 732.987.2349.
MEDIA NOTE: High-resolution images from Monday's event will be available to members of the press immediately following the MOU signing, and can be obtained from the Office of Public Information at 732.987.2291 or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves more than 2,500 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at One Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge, at Coastal Communiversity in Wall, and at Cumberland County College in Vineland.

An overview of major forces and trends of the world: including but not limited to the economic, political, demographic, and technological forces, and trends in globalized competition and globalized cooperation in business. Of particular interest to this group of students, their deep understanding of such forces and trends should help them to spot meaningful opportunities and threats that would allow fruitful entrepreneurial pursuit.
A broad scale survey of new and emerging technologies, including but not limited to, information and digital technology, material science and nanotechnology, life science and bio-technology, and space technology. To couple with their general understanding and appreciation of these business-opportunity-laden technologies, this group of students should also study different legal protections (or little or no protection) given to patents and other forms of intellectual property in the U.S., in Europe, in Asia, and in the rest of the world. Cases may be used to study how successful companies have managed their creation, protection, exploitation of intellectual property rights globally.
This course focuses on the cultural and ethical aspects of management and business practice. Although EU and other regional and global treaties have reduced many structural barriers, businesses still face various cultural and ethical challenges in different parts of the world. Among other things, this course will expose students to several traditional values systems, such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Confucianism; certain contemporary value systems, such as social welfare system and environmentalism; and social roles of various institutions, such as governments, churches, families, and businesses. This is a foundation course on cross-cultural and ethical issues. A number of functional area courses will expand from this base to address cross-cultural and ethical issues in respective business functional areas.
Globalized production and outsourcing have become a norm in business. Assuming these students have already been familiar with general principles and methodologies of operational efficiency and optimization, this course will focus on the challenges associated with country borders. Among other things, this course will examine import/export control, customs inspection and delays, licensing, certification, environmental protection rules, and a whole host of other complications. These factors vary from one country to another, and complicates businesses' decision making in their operations management and supply chain management.
This course will focus on the challenges associated with multiple macro economic and financial parameters. With multiple currencies and different economic outlooks, businesses still have to develop a series of future cash flow estimates to do capital budgeting. With different costs of capital in different countries, and different risk levels associated with various financial instruments, decision on a global business's capital structure becomes a lot more complex than a pure domestic business. This course will cover all of these aspects of corporate finance.
The course aims to equip future entrepreneurs with an understanding of the main issues in the management of innovation and technology. It also addresses how technological innovation drives the long-term competitiveness of global organizations. Innovation management, and particularly technological innovation, is inherently uncertain and risky, and most new technologies fail to be transformed into successful products and services. Therefore, the focus of the course is to discuss how firms better manage technology and innovation. Furthermore, theother focus is on critically evaluating the factors for technological innovation, and then developing strategies for managing technological innovations in the competitive global environment.
Not all countries and markets are equally accessible for all businesses. Some countries are more protective than others, some industries are more protected than other industries in certain countries, and some of these protections are more accepted than others under certain bi-lateral or multi-lateral agreements and treaties. Such protections may be in the form of outright ban, quotas, cumbersome application and review processes, local partner requirements, local content requirements, or any other discriminative provisions. This course will examine all sorts of entry barriers in select countries and regions. To counter such barriers, this course will introduce various forms of strategic alliance and partnerships, including but not limited to joint venture, licensing, franchising, management contract, and reciprocal distribution agreement.
This course focuses on applying marketing principles to customer segments in cultural environments other than your own. Studying their needs and preferences, adjusting product attributes to meet their tastes, introducing services that fit their expectations, and other similar customized treatments are effective steps in cross-cultural marketing. Of particular importance, designing and executing a customized and integrated marketing communication program in this context is crucial. As a business expands internationally or penetrates another ethnic consumer segment, promotional messages should be carefully examined and perhaps re-crafted, and communication media be carefully selected to effectively reach the target audience.
This course focuses on additional challenges and complications in distribution and channel management associated with country borders. Unlike domestic distribution partners, international distribution partners would typically take greater responsibility (developing promotional strategy, taking greater financial risk, etc.), be given more power and freedom (territorial exclusivity, greater autonomy, etc.), and be compensated more handsomely. This course will examine in-depth a few representative global distribution systems, and reveal their pros and cons to different stakeholders.
Social Entrepreneurship is an emerging and rapidly changing field dedicated to the starting and growing social mission-driven for-profit and nonprofit ventures – that is, organizations that strive to advance social change through innovative solutions. Social Entrepreneurship is more than a set of tools and techniques for starting and growing a social venture. It is a mindset, a way of looking at things that is opportunity focused and creative. It is about passion – doing what you love. It is about creating wealth in all its forms: economic value, social innovation and sustainability, and making a difference in the communities that we serve. While numerous different definitions of social entrepreneurship exist, there appears to be a consensus on two major elements: • Social entrepreneurship involves the creativity, imagination and innovation often associated with entrepreneurship; and • The outcomes of social entrepreneurship are focused on addressing persistent social problems particularly to those who are marginalized or poor, however broader definitions also include those issues most pressing to society such as energy conservation, pollution, solution for pervasive disease amongst those able to pay for treatment, and those incapable of treatment.
This course covers a wide range of funding options that support innovative business endeavors. Besides the venture capital model, which is well known for supporting technology innovations in Silicon Valley, this course also examines internal funding sources that support in-house innovation and entrepreneurial endeavors, and the micro-finance model that support entrepreneurial initiatives in rural areas and third world countries. Guests representing both the supplier and the user of the fund in each of these funding models will be invited to give their views.
In this course you will work closely with faculty at IQS as well as with a European company to complete a consulting project, focused on a particular problem identified with the company. This will also include structured time with the faculty sponsor to review the company assignments and with the company, either at their location, or at IQS, working on projects for the company. Successful completion of this course is required by IQS in order to complete the Master in Entrepreneurial Management.
In this course you will work with a Faculty member at Fu-Jen University to develop a unique and compelling business plan. This includes ongoing individual meetings, coaching, and the use of a pool of mentors to provide the student with "real world" insight as the business plan develops. Successful completion of this course is required by Fu-Jen in order to complete the Master in Entrepreneurial Management.
In this course you will work closely with faculty at USF as well as with a company located in the Bay Area, to complete a consulting project, focused on a particular problem identified with the company. This will also include structured time with the faculty sponsor to review the company assignments and with the company, either at their location, or at USF, working on projects for the company.
After a tough financial crisis that ended in a very severe economic crisis globally, it makes sense to become well versant in managing the financial assets and liabilities of a company. This includes grasping the complexity of the financial instruments which CFOs now must use in order to maximize the value of a company. Students will deepen their understanding of finance by reviewing Accounting principles, including the introduction of tools and resources to better manage financial issues in the future.
