A look at LSU's regional foes
Posted on 6/1/2017 9:16:00 AM.
By Jeff Palermo
Weather permitting LSU will begin the Baton Rouge Regional by hosting Texas Southern on Friday at 2:30 PM. Southeastern Louisiana and Rice are scheduled to play on Friday at 7 PM. The Lions and Owls are in Baton Rouge for regional play for a second straight season.
Here's a brief scouting reporting on the teams.
Texas Southern Tigers:
Started the season 0-9 and enter Friday's game with a record of 20-32. They played 36 of their 48 regular season games on the road. They have never won an NCAA Regional game.
Team ERA of 6.56, but pitched well in the SWAC Tournament, allowing 14 runs in four games.
Top offensive player is Guadencio Lucca, who is hitting .315, 6 home runs and 28 RBI. The junior from California also has 14 doubles and 5 triples.
Rice Owls
31-29, started the season 6-17. Won the Conference USA Tournament to receive an automatic bid to their 23rd straight NCAA Tournament. Beat LSU in a regional game last year and had the Tigers on the ropes in the championship game. Rice led 2-0 in the 7th inning. But Greg Deichmann hit a two-run homer and LSU went on to win 5-2.
Keep an eye on freshman pitcher Matt Canterino. The right-hander is 5-4 with a 3.92 ERA, but has 105 strikeouts in 91.1 innings.
Dane Myers has also played well. The junior from Katy, Texas, is hitting .360, with 6 home runs and 38 RBIs. He also has 11 doubles, five triples and leads the team with 13 stolen bases.
Southeastern Louisiana Lions
36-20. Finished the regular season winning 12 of their last 15. SLU has six victories against top 50 RPI teams. Might have lost some momentum with their play in the Southland Tournament, where they went 1-2.
The Lions have three players with 10 or more home runs, Taylor Schwaner, Carson Crites and Ryan Byers. This team is also speedy on the base paths with 110 steals.
They need ace pitcher Mac Sceroler to get back on his game. The junior right-hander from Denham Springs has nine wins of the year, but he's given up 13 earned runs in his last two starts.

Give Me Five
Well, here we are. Hannah is half a decade old. When you say it like that it seems like a pretty long time, right? Well, I think most parents would agree that it flies. I'm sure I'm not the first one to say that when it comes to parenthood the days are long but the years fly by. I can't say that it feels like yesterday we were pacing the basement of Sam's mom's house trying to soothe Hannah to sleep, encouraging her first steps, or dismally potty training, because when you throw a second kid in the mix it all becomes a bit of a blur. But I do remember quite vividly the exact moment she was born, completely blue and silent, and that hour-long 5 seconds before they cleared her lungs and she let out the first of a million future wails.
We have a remarkable little girl. I know, I know, you think your kids are remarkable too. And they probably are. But it's so incredible how much of a pedestal we put our own kids on, I'm not ashamed to admit it. For all the parental training we went to, I think something that would have been the most valuable is if someone we respected told us: "Look, you're going to think your kid is the greatest thing ever. Everyone does. But that doesn't mean you have to go around telling everyone, including your kid, such a thing." Humility isn't easy and we all know plenty of people who are self-declared super-humble beings.
My point is, I'm not going to go into all the amazing things Hannah does that your kid probably doesn't. I'm not going to talk about how she's pretty much the smartest preschooler in North America or that she's funnier than Tina Fey and Chris Rock combined. Or even that she's stunningly cute and beautiful (fact: if you google "cutiful" she'll be at the top of page 1), but that's not what I'm writing about tonight. That would be way too obnoxious and I'm way too humble to do that.
For posterity's sake I do want to write a little bit about what she's into. If you don't care because you already threw up from my previous obnoxiousness then feel free to go back to your Facebook stream.
Hannah's favorite activities: eating sweets, doing gymnastics, doing anything with her older cousins Monica and Mariah, who she completely adores and admires; spending time with her Aunt Heather and her many loving grandparents; going to the park; drawing/coloring, doing projects with her momma, playing with her world of little animals and people (Littlest Pet Shop, Palace Pets, Disney princesses, etc.), playing with Barbies, playing with stuffed animals, reading books, watching movies/shows/videos, swimming, riding her bike/scooter, playing with her friends in the neighborhood and at school, and, of course, making poop jokes.
Hannah's least favorite activities: eating vegetables, getting her hair washed, taking naps, and sharing with her little brother. And, sadly, t-ball. Maybe she'll come around in a couple of years, but since she was about two and a half it's been pretty clear team sports may not be her thing. And I'm totally fine with that as long as she finds things to do that she loves and involve movement.
Dad's least favorite things Hannah does: she watches those ridiculously useless and pointless surprise eggs videos on YouTube. I cannot fathom what so enchanting about them but she gets complete zoned in on them. I don't go around kicking people in the shins a lot, I've grown out of that, but if I saw one of the people who creates those videos I'd put a boot on and take a Messi free kick right to their tibia. Also, she whines and throws fits a lot when she doesn't get her way and that's pretty annoying. But show me a 5 year old who doesn't do that and I'll call bullshit.
Sorry, that took a dark turn there. Back to Hannah. If you're still reading you're probably aware of most of these things. But here's something that really only Hannah and I know – every time I drop her off at school I make her pinky swear that she's going to have an awesome day, or some variation of that, and I usually get a kiss or five. But, I've noticed something the last couple months that shows that she's getting older and makes me want to cry a little – she's slightly embarrassed to do our little routine in front of her friends.
She's developing some self-awareness, a huge part of maturing, which is awesome, because I want her to be mindful and confident. But while she's always been a little shy about being in the spotlight, this feels more like "daaad, the other kids are watching, be cool and just leeeave." I know she won't say that for at least a few more years, and maybe she never will because I think she probably already knows that's just going to encourage me to be even more embarrassing. I'm pretty excited about that part of her getting older. She's as goofy as I am and the older she gets and the more she understands the real world, the more important I believe it is to have a sense of humor and not take one's self too seriously.
One last story that is more for us to look back on. I mentioned Hannah can shy away from the spotlight and can be a little self-conscious when it comes to other kids.
But she surprised me a couple of weeks ago when she showed some grit and "who cares what others think" spunk. She ran into another kid at the Y and knocked some teeth out of place – it was pretty nasty, a lot of blood, pain, and tears and we thought they were going to have to pull the teeth. And that would have been the start of an interesting couple of years. However, instead of the teeth coming out they went back into place, but are turning gray, which you can kind of tell from the photos. Hannah told me one of those days that she doesn't care if the teeth fall out or turn gray and she knows that it might look odd and other kids might make fun of her – "I don't care dad, it's OK." she said. I absolutely love that attitude and hope she carries it with her long after her old goofy dad is gone.
Happy 5th birthday to my lovely little girl. I can't imagine life without her.
Well…I'm a Dad.
Three words I've always imagined saying. Someday. When I met Sam and then was finally able to convince her that this goofball living in Indy was worth the time and effort, I started to feel like that day was getting just a little bit closer. We fell in love, took a couple of vacations, she moved to Indy, life started settling down a bit. Then we got married, jetted off to Aruba and made "history." After a long 9 months (certainly felt even longer for Sam), the day has come. On June 27, 2012, Hannah Marie Pickett was born and we became parents to someone other than a cute little weiner-beagle puppy. We were blessed with a beautiful, precious, amazing little angel.
Everyone says it's life-changing, and it certainly is, but not in that TAAA-DAAA-bright-spotlight-shining-down-from-the-heavens-immediate-sudden-revelation way that you expect. To me it's been a subtle process. Watching the doctor tug Hannah out of Sam like when Harry Dunne's tongue was stuck to the ski lift. Squeezing Sam and holding my breath waiting to hear our baby's first sound. Fighting back tears as they squeegeed Hannah off and suctioned her dry. Releasing those tears upon seeing Sam hold our baby for the first time. Awkwardly helping the nurse give Hannah her first bath. All the poop and piss and crying. And all of Hannah's poop and piss and crying. Staring at Hannah, watching her sleep. Seeing her big new eyes gaze around at seemingly nothing and everything at the same time. Each of these moments are new memories, and it's tough to shake them, like little bouncy balls in my brain (on second thought, maybe I should see a doctor). I look forward to creating new memories with my family every single day.
As I think back over the past week, the only real sudden feeling I remember is being innately protective. The slowest, bumpiest drive home in history, introducing her to Cleo's kisses, carefully carrying her down the stairs, attempting to not break any of her limbs putting her clothes on her, balancing her on top of the fridge while I grab a beer (gotta have two hands to open it duh, don't judge) (OK, I didn't do that)…but the point is, every little movement, sound and breath has me on the edge of my seat. It's an overwhelming combination of stress and LOVE. It's new and will take some getting used to, but man, what an amazing journey we've begun.
By the way, Sam was absolutely amazing through the birthing process, she's friggin' strong. Couple of pushes into it and they were telling the doctor to get her ass in the room, baby's ready to go! Sam is going to be the most amazing, caring, loving, fun, protective, smart and HOT mom around. No doubt about that. And no offense to the other billion moms out there, including our own, who are awesome, you are all awesome.
Stay tuned, I feel like this is going to be quite the adventure, so I'll try to jot some thoughts and musings down as we go if anyone cares to read them.

By Edward C. Harris
This publication is the single textual content committed solely to archaeological stratigraphy, a topic of basic significance to so much reviews in archaeology. the 1st version seemed in 1979 due to the invention, by means of the writer, of the Harris Matrix--a strategy for interpreting and providing the stratigraphic sequences of archaeological websites. the strategy is now known in archaeology everywhere in the world.
The starting chapters of this version talk about the old improvement of the information of archaeological stratigraphy. The principal chapters study the legislation and uncomplicated innovations of the topic, and the previous couple of chapters examine equipment of recording stratification, developing stratigraphic sequences, and the research of stratification and artifacts.
The ultimate bankruptcy, that's by way of a word list of stratigraphic phrases, provides an summary of a contemporary approach for recording stratification on archaeological websites. This publication is written in an easy variety appropriate for the coed or beginner. the novel rules set out also needs to supply the pro archaeologist nutrition for idea.
Key Features
* Covers a easy precept of all archaeological excavations
* offers a knowledge description and research instrument for all such digs, that's now broadly authorized and used.

6. The archives of the Kingdon's Workshop site are now held at the Winchester City Museum and they include the four plans made of the excavations. The information on those plans has been reproduced in Fig. 6 and the structural features from the Roman and Fig. 5 Ill. ENLARGED SECTION OF PIT; AND CONTENTS. Early recording methods on excavations 25 medieval periods are illustrated. Few layers of soil from either of the periods were planned. The development of sections since the beginning of the century may also be shown by an example from the excavations at Kingdon's Workshop (Fig.
The matrix system admits to only three possible relationships between two given units of stratification. In Fig. 9A, the units have no direct stratigraphie (physical) relationship; in Fig. 9B, they are in superposition; and in Fig. 9C, the units are correlated (equated by the = sign) as separate parts (given different numbers in the field) of a once whole deposit or feature interface. Using this method during an excavation (Fig. 10), a sequence can be built up on paper as the work progresses. g.
15B) would thus destroy these stratigraphie relationships, since they are formed on a vertical plane by the characteristics of man-made upstanding strata. All units of archaeological stratification, therefore, have faces; these are examined in the next chapter as 'layer interfaces'. 2. Boundary contours. These lines, or contours, define the unique extent of each unit of stratification in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. g. Fig. 15A). Boundary contours are not the same as surface contours, as stratification is a state of superposition.

The Sonoraville Phoenix have had two straight back-and-forth battles that did not go their way on their home field. This week they are looking to bounce back by going on the road and making sure it isn't a good night for Haralson County on their home field.
The Phoenix (3-3, 0-1 Region 6-AAA South) will make their longest trip of the regular season this week when they travel to Tallapoosa to take on a winless Rebels team as they try to even their subregion record.
Sonoraville lost the last two Fridays at The Furnace to Ringgold and Bremen with both games being decided by one possession. Against the Blue Devils last week, the Phoenix fell behind by two touchdowns after the game was tied at the half, but kept fighting to get within a score before Bremen salted the game away.
Sonoraville coach Denver Pate said you are never satisfied with a loss, but he was pleased with the way his team kept battling despite being down and dealing with multiple injuries.
"We are proud of our players for the battle they put up," said Pate. "We had several key guys go down with injuries, and I thought we did the best we could do replacing them and trying to keep plugging away. I just hate it for Will Pritchett and Matthew Vincent. They are two key contributors on our team, and they have done a great job of being true team players."
Vincent and Pritchett were two of the several Sonoraville players injured in the physical contest to add to an already depleted roster that has been affected by multiple early-season injuries.
One of the high notes from the contest was the continued strong play from quarterback Patrick Moore who threw for two touchdowns and ran for a 72-yard touchdown.
Sonoraville has a chance to change the momentum of their season on Friday when they visit a Haralson County team that hasn't had a lot go their way under first-year head coach Scott Peavey. All but one of their five losses have been by 30 points or more. Still, Pate said his team can't take anything for granted and have to prepare well this week.
"(Haralson County) will run a lot of one back on offense," said Pate. "Their backs do a good job of running hard. On defense, they will work from a three-man front and will try to bring an assortment of blitzes."
Another added variable for the team on Friday is the road trip. The Phoenix have already traveled to Model, Dalton and LFO this season, but the trip to Haralson County is longer than any of those at right around an hour and a half.
The players will also be out of school on Friday to begin Fall Break, which runs through next Friday. Pate said they will try to make things as normal as possible to not let the road trip make too much of a difference in their approach.
"I think not having school for the next two Fridays is bigger than the drive because it takes our players out of the routines they are accustomed to," said Pate. "Our guys do a good job of using the bus trips as a time to relax and get ready for the challenge they will face. The trip will have no bearing on how we play."
Pate added that his team will have a list of several keys they want to accomplish in order to have a successful night at Haralson County on Friday.
"We have to win up front first and foremost on both lines of scrimmage," said Pate. "We have to do a better job of getting the ball in our playmakers' hands offensively and be able to get off the field on third downs on defense."

"Teams not hitting are the teams not walking. All great hitters wait for
their pitch to come to them–Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, [Barry] Larkin.
That's why Larkin always hits .300 and why he always hits well in the
— Bob Boone, Reds manager
"I think the main thing is on-base percentage. If you still have a good
on-base percentage and drive in runs, the strikeouts don't really matter."
— Jeromy Burnitz, Brewers outfielder
"Our hitters' patience was very impressive. Patience like that put us in a
position to score some more runs."
— Jimy Williams, Red Sox manager, on drawing 10 walks in an 18-inning game
"I was not trying to hit anyone. And if I was, I wouldn't hit them in the
foot. If they go back and think about it, they would know that I wasn't
trying to hit them. Obviously, some pitches got away, but I am not going to
— Scott Schoeneweis, Angels pitcher, on hitting four batters in one start,
including Frankie Menechino twice
"He was a little erratic early, and a couple pitches got away from him. But
he settled down and pitched a great game in the middle."
— Mike Scioscia, Angels manager
"I'm looking around, but it's better to have a good player than a so-called
'veteran presence.'"
— Terry Ryan, Twins general manager, on trade possibilities
"The things I did may be overreaction by me. Hey, it's not like Bill Selby
is chopped liver. It was just that we had the lead, and I wanted my best
defense in place. I was wanting to win that one so bad. It was no harm, no
— Bob Boone, Reds manager, on switching Juan Castro and
Bill Selby between second base and shortstop three times in one
inning to keep Castro in front of likely balls in play
"I thought it was funny, didn't think anything bad about it. Hey, the
second-base umpire asked me if we had a kangaroo court and that the manager
should be brought up on charges. I was just wondering when I came to bat how
they would announce me. Would it be, 'Bill Selby, second baseman, third
baseman, second baseman, third baseman, second baseman, utility player.'"
— Bill Selby, Reds infielder
"When you're released and you're hitting .390, it's time to retire."
— Ozzie Guillen, Expos coach, on his decision to retire after being
released by the Devil Rays
"I don't plan on coming back until it completely heals. If I was 35 years
old and we were going into the playoffs, I might suck it up and pitch. But
I'm 29 and hopefully have a long career remaining. There's no use going out
there and hurting the team."
— Billy Wagner, Astros pitcher
"If it's this way six weeks from now, we might have to make some changes.
And even if we're getting better, we might have to do it. I think it will be
a very active trading period."
— Peter Magowan, Giants owner
"You get this guy throwing 99 miles per hour. How the heck do you throw a
ball 99 miles an hour? And do it all game?"
— Torii Hunter, Twins outfielder, on facing the Indians' Bartolo Colon
"Ten years? I've got 17 years."
— Rickey Henderson, Padres outfielder, on being told he had tenure and
could bump rookies from good seats on the team bus
"I have to steal a line from Mark Guthrie. He asked me, 'What, are you guys
the University of Texas? You have a college record.'"
— Paul Abbott, Mariners pitcher
"If I was Pat Gillick, I would trade Ichiro [Suzuki], [Freddy] Garcia and
Edgar [Martinez] and they might go undefeated next year."
— Alex Rodriguez, Rangers infielder, on the Mariners' fortunes without him
"I'll tell you what. To get rained out and come in here, it's like a
beautiful woman is in the room and my eyeballs [are] poked out. That's kind
of what I feel like. You feel like, my gosh. You feel like you get something
going. I was throwing the ball real well before then. It's been four of the
last five starts I've seen rain. It's just the way it goes. I could cry my
sob story, but we're 20 games under .500, so there's a lot worse things
going on around here. It [stinks], but … I could be in Triple-A."
— Rob Bell, Reds pitcher, on doing well in his rained-out starts
"We just have to deal with our suckiness and go from there."
— Jeff Kent, Giants infielder, on the Giants' current malaise
"If I'm going to miss, I'm going to miss that way. I want to die like a
— Sammy Sosa, Cubs outfielder, after the Brewers' Jeromy Burnitz brought in
a home-run ball in the ninth inning

text: sbetchel 122 Report post Posted December 7, 2010 Hi all. I have set up a mouse look style FPS cam for my scene using OpenGL. Basically I am needing to know how to move the camera forward and back but also stay on the ground as a player would. Right now, when I move forward and back, I move along the Z axis of the camera. This works for a "flying" camera but not to stay on the ground. I cant use the world Z axis because that moves me the same direction no matter which way I face. Can anyone shed some light on how this is typically done?My first thought was to get the parallel projection vector by projecting my camera's Z axis onto the ground and translating using that. Don't know if that is correct though. Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, and his book is the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. The Everything Store is the book that the business world can't stop talking about, the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.
Your every step online is being tracked and stored, and your identity literally stolen. Big companies and big governments want to know and exploit what you do, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand.
In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick uses true-life stories to show exactly what is happening without your knowledge, teaching you "the art of invisibility"--online and real-world tactics to protect you and your family, using easy step-by-step instructions. Reading this book, you will learn everything from password protection and smart Wi-Fi usage to advanced techniques designed to maximize your anonymity.
Kevin Mitnick knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening. The world's most famous--and formerly the US government's most wanted--computer hacker, he has hacked into some of the country's most powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one point was on a three-year run from the FBI. Now Mitnick is reformed and widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security.
Invisibility isn't just for superheroes--privacy is a power you deserve and need in the age of Big Brother and Big Data.
An NPR Best Book of the Year
"Incisive.... The most fun business book I have read this year.... Clearly there will be people who hate this book — which is probably one of the things that makes it such a great read."
— Andrew Ross Sorkin, New York Times
— Vanity Fair
Liar's Poker meets The Social Network in an irreverent exposé of life inside the tech bubble, from industry provocateur Antonio García Martínez, a former Twitter advisor, Facebook product manager and startup founder/CEO.
The reality is, Silicon Valley capitalism is very simple:
Investors are people with more money than time.
Employees are people with more time than money.
Entrepreneurs are the seductive go-between.
Marketing is like sex: only losers pay for it.
Imagine a chimpanzee rampaging through a datacenter powering everything from Google to Facebook. Infrastructure engineers use a software version of this "chaos monkey" to test online services' robustness—their ability to survive random failure and correct mistakes before they actually occur. Tech entrepreneurs are society's chaos monkeys, disruptors testing and transforming every aspect of our lives, from transportation (Uber) and lodging (AirBnB) to television (Netflix) and dating (Tinder). One of Silicon Valley's most audacious chaos monkeys is Antonio García Martínez.
After stints on Wall Street and as CEO of his own startup, García Martínez joined Facebook's nascent advertising team, turning its users' data into profit for COO Sheryl Sandberg and chairman and CEO Mark "Zuck" Zuckerberg. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the company's monetization strategy, García Martínez eventually landed at rival Twitter. He also fathered two children with a woman he barely knew, committed lewd acts and brewed illegal beer on the Facebook campus (accidentally flooding Zuckerberg's desk), lived on a sailboat, raced sport cars on the 101, and enthusiastically pursued the life of an overpaid Silicon Valley wastrel.
Now, this gleeful contrarian unravels the chaotic evolution of social media and online marketing and reveals how it is invading our lives and shaping our future. Weighing in on everything from startups and credit derivatives to Big Brother and data tracking, social media monetization and digital "privacy," García Martínez shares his scathing observations and outrageous antics, taking us on a humorous, subversive tour of the fascinatingly insular tech industry. Chaos Monkeys lays bare the hijinks, trade secrets, and power plays of the visionaries, grunts, sociopaths, opportunists, accidental tourists, and money cowboys who are revolutionizing our world. The question is, will we survive?

We live in complicated, dangerous times. Present and future presidents need to know if North Korea's nascent nuclear capability is a genuine threat to the West, if biochemical weapons are likely to be developed by terrorists, if there are viable alternatives to fossil fuels that should be nurtured and supported by the government, if private companies should be allowed to lead the way on space exploration, and what the actual facts are about the worsening threats from climate change. This is "must-have" information for all presidents—and citizens—of the twenty-first century.

Which paint color is most likely to tell you that a used car is in good shape? How can officials identify the most dangerous New York City manholes before they explode? And how did Google searches predict the spread of the H1N1 flu outbreak?
The key to answering these questions, and many more, is big data. "Big data" refers to our burgeoning ability to crunch vast collections of information, analyze it instantly, and draw sometimes profoundly surprising conclusions from it. This emerging science can translate myriad phenomena—from the price of airline tickets to the text of millions of books—into searchable form, and uses our increasing computing power to unearth epiphanies that we never could have seen before. A revolution on par with the Internet or perhaps even the printing press, big data will change the way we think about business, health, politics, education, and innovation in the years to come. It also poses fresh threats, from the inevitable end of privacy as we know it to the prospect of being penalized for things we haven't even done yet, based on big data's ability to predict our future behavior.
In this brilliantly clear, often surprising work, two leading experts explain what big data is, how it will change our lives, and what we can do to protect ourselves from its hazards. Big Data is the first big book about the next big thing.

Linking prehistoric archaeological remains with the development of language, David Anthony identifies the prehistoric peoples of central Eurasia's steppe grasslands as the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European, and shows how their innovative use of the ox wagon, horseback riding, and the warrior's chariot turned the Eurasian steppes into a thriving transcontinental corridor of communication, commerce, and cultural exchange. He explains how they spread their traditions and gave rise to important advances in copper mining, warfare, and patron-client political institutions, thereby ushering in an era of vibrant social change. Anthony also describes his fascinating discovery of how the wear from bits on ancient horse teeth reveals the origins of horseback riding.
The Horse, the Wheel, and Language solves a puzzle that has vexed scholars for two centuries--the source of the Indo-European languages and English--and recovers a magnificent and influential civilization from the past.

Social media is anything but a new phenomenon. From the papyrus letters that Cicero and other Roman statesmen used to exchange news, to the hand-printed tracts of the Reformation and the pamphlets that spread propaganda during the American and French revolutions, the ways people shared information with their peers in the past are echoed in the present. After decades of newspapers, radio, and television dominating in dissemination of information, the Internet has spawned a reemergence of social media as a powerful new way for individuals to share information with their friends, driving public discourse in new ways.
Standage reminds us how historical social networks have much in common with modern social media. The Catholic Church's dilemmas in responding to Martin Luther's attacks are similar to those of today's large institutions in responding to criticism on the Internet, for example, and seventeenth-century complaints about the distractions of coffeehouses mirror modern concerns about social media. Invoking figures from Thomas Paine to Vinton Cerf, co-inventor of the Internet, Standage explores themes that have long been debated, from the tension between freedom of expression and censorship to social media's role in spurring innovation and fomenting revolution. Writing on the Wall draws on history to cast provocative new light on today's social media and encourages debate and discussion about how we'll communicate in the future.
Why did NASA managers, who not only had all the information prior to the launch but also were warned against it, decide to proceed? In retelling how the decision unfolded through the eyes of the managers and the engineers, Vaughan uncovers an incremental descent into poor judgment, supported by a culture of high-risk technology. She reveals how and why NASA insiders, when repeatedly faced with evidence that something was wrong, normalized the deviance so that it became acceptable to them. In a new preface, Vaughan reveals the ramifications for this book and for her when a similar decision-making process brought down NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003.
In 1905, Albert Einstein revolutionized modern physics with his theory of relativity. He went on to become a twentieth-century icon-a man whose name and face are synonymous with "genius." Now, at last, ordinary readers can explore Einstein's life and work in this new For Dummies guide. Physicist Carlos Calle chronicles Einstein's career and explains his work-including the theories of special and general relativity-in language that anyone can understand. He shows how Einstein's discoveries affected everything from the development of the atom bomb to the theory of quantum mechanics. He sheds light on Einstein's personal life and beliefs, including his views on religion and politics. And he shows how Einstein's work continues to affect our world today, from nuclear power to space travel to artificial intelligence.
Explaining why the whole is sometimes smarter than the sum of its parts, Johnson presents surprising examples of feedback, self-organization, and adaptive learning. How does a lively neighborhood evolve out of a disconnected group of shopkeepers, bartenders, and real estate developers? How does a media event take on a life of its own? How will new software programs create an intelligent World Wide Web?
In the coming years, the power of self-organization -- coupled with the connective technology of the Internet -- will usher in a revolution every bit as significant as the introduction of electricity. Provocative and engaging, Emergence puts you on the front lines of this exciting upheaval in science and thought.

Make your own reamers and learn how the master machinist of 100 years ago made his handful of tools do any job he was assigned to do.
These are all items that many of us can't afford early in our shop careers, but you can make them yourself now that you have a machine shop.
The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual was written to fill that void. The result of unprecedented collaboration among top U.S. military experts, scholars, and practitioners in the field, the manual espouses an approach to combat that emphasizes constant adaptation and learning, the importance of decentralized decision-making, the need to understand local politics and customs, and the key role of intelligence in winning the support of the population. The manual also emphasizes the paradoxical and often counterintuitive nature of counterinsurgency operations: sometimes the more you protect your forces, the less secure you are; sometimes the more force you use, the less effective it is; sometimes doing nothing is the best reaction.
An new introduction by Sarah Sewall, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, places the manual in critical and historical perspective, explaining the significance and potential impact of this revolutionary challenge to conventional U.S. military doctrine.
An attempt by our military to redefine itself in the aftermath of 9/11 and the new world of international terrorism, The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual will play a vital role in American military campaigns for years to come.
The University of Chicago Press will donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to the Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that supports the families of America's injured servicemen. To learn more about the Fisher House Foundation, visit www.fisherhouse.org.

Hughes draws on an enormous range of literature, art, and architecture to explore what technology has brought to society and culture, and to explain how we might begin to develop an "ecotechnology" that works with, not against, ecological systems. From the "Creator" model of development of the sixteenth century to the "big science" of the 1940s and 1950s to the architecture of Frank Gehry, Hughes nimbly charts the myriad ways that technology has been woven into the social and cultural fabric of different eras and the promises and problems it has offered. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, optimistically hoped that technology could be combined with nature to create an Edenic environment; Lewis Mumford, two centuries later, warned of the increasing mechanization of American life.
Such divergent views, Hughes shows, have existed side by side, demonstrating the fundamental idea that "in its variety, technology is full of contradictions, laden with human folly, saved by occasional benign deeds, and rich with unintended consequences." In Human-Built World, he offers the highly engaging history of these contradictions, follies, and consequences, a history that resurrects technology, rightfully, as more than gadgetry; it is in fact no less than an embodiment of human values.
The Nature of Technology is an elegant and powerful theory of technology's origins and evolution. Achieving for the development of technology what Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions did for scientific progress, Arthur explains how transformative new technologies arise and how innovation really works. Drawing on a wealth of examples, from historical inventions to the high-tech wonders of today, Arthur takes us on a mind-opening journey that will change the way we think about technology and how it structures our lives. The Nature of Technology is a classic for our times.
