Shawkat Based on Institutional Theory and the Resource Based View of the firm, this paper aims at finding a relationship between an MNC's choice of entry mode and the subsequent performance of the subsidiaries. There is a serious lack of work in the international business literature that looks at the influence of entry mode on subsidiary performance. Thus looking at this issue merits attention. The paper specifically looks at the choice between a joint venture entry, and a wholly owned subsidiary based entry and provides a number of testable propositions. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Survival during economic shock: the role of firm experience Kamal, Sifat Kamal, Shawkat http://hdl.handle.net/10361/1612 2019-09-30T03:01:38Z 2010-07-01T00:00:00Z Survival during economic shock: the role of firm experience Kamal, Sifat; Kamal, Shawkat Based on organizational ecology and other management theories, this paper aims at finding a relationship between organizational aging and firm survival during economic shocks.

Looking at the articles published in the top nine journals in the field of strategic management between the year 1999 and 2006, it was fond that scholars affiliated to Asian business schools having North American educational background were more productive compared to those having educational background were more productive compared to those having educational background from elsewhere. The findings also revealed that these scholars prefer to publish more in North America based journals when compared with European based journals; and having coauthors who are affiliated with North American business schools enhances the possibility of publication in top tier management journals. 2010-12-01T00:00:00Z The economic impact of e-commerce Hoq, Ziaul Kamal, Md.

Shawkat; Chowdhury, A H M Ehsanul Huda E-commerce has a significant impact on business costs and productivity. E-Commerce has a chance to be widely adopted due to its simple applications. Thus it has a large economic impact. It gives the opportunity for "boundary crossing" as new entrants, business models, and changes in technology erode the barriers that used to separate one industry from another. This increases competition and innovation, which are likely to boost overall economic efficiency. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z

Milwaukee UP: Artists aim to close 2010 with a bang
With the end of the year upon us, the desire to finish strong has hit several Milwaukee hip-hop artists.
Last week, to keep up his seemingly constant flow of content, the very visible Prophetic released a new music video for his song "Living in the Sky" (which can be found on his most recent mixtape) in collaboration with a gang of folks over a MIAD. The video is actually artsy and has taken Milwaukee hip-hop's music video game to a new level of conceptual creativity.
Looking back on things, Milwaukee hip-hop really has had a great year music video wise, which built upon the fantastic videos 2009 gave us. I can't wait to see what people do in 2011 as the medium of anything visual continues to show itself as the way to achieve one's dreams and goals.
Anyway, here's the video.
AND, since it's the holiday season and good cheer abounds, I'd like to provide for you a bonus video by Madison emcee, Emcee Starr. He is a member of the group The Fall Guys, and he recently gave the world a very nice and colorful video for his track "Thru The Light."
Look him up, and Madison hip-hop in general. If Milwaukee and Madison could find a way to collaborate in really solid ways, I think something really positive could come out of it for both scenes ... but hey, I'm a dreamer.

"This is a budget for people who aspire to work hard and get on," says Osborne.
He describes it as a budget for people who realise there are no easy answers.
Osborne says we have cut the deficit by a third, not a quarter.
Latest key points: Budget 2015 summary and highlights
Office for Budgetary Resopnsibility forecasts show GDP growth of 0.6pc this year and 1.8pc growth next year, with 2.3pc growth in 2015.
That compares with 1.2pc, 2pc and 2.3pc in the Autumn Statement.
The OBR predicts that the deficit will stand at 7.4pc in 2012/13. It will fall to 5.4pc in 2014-15.
Net debt as a share of GDP will peak in 2016/17, the OBR forecasts. That is a year later than forecast in the Autumn Statement.
Public sector net debt will be 75.9pc of GDP this year, according to the OBR, then 79.2pc, 82.6pc, 85.1pc, 85.6pc in following years before falling to 84.8pc in 2017/18.
The OBR predicts that there will be 600,000 more jobs created this year and 60,000 fewer people claiming jobless benefits.
Bank of England
Osborne said the Bank of England may need to use unconventional monetary policy instruments.
The Bank will still target inflation at, or around 2pc.
However, it will be asked to explain in greater detail the trade-offs it has made when taking decisions to ensure better communication between the Bank and Treasury.
If the inflation target is missed, the Bank's governor will still write a letter to the Chancellor, but not until the day when the minutes of that month's interest rate meeting are published.
Currently, the letter is written on the day of the decision.
Spending and saving
The Government will seek to make £11.5bn of savings in the next spending round versus a previous target of £10bn.
Total managed government expenditure for 2015/16 will be set at £754bn.
But, school and health budgets will be protected.
Public sector pay rises will be limited to 1pc a year in 2015/16.
But, the armed forces will get a pay rise of 0.5pc from May 1 and more money from fines relating to the Libor scandal will go to military causes.
Infrastructure and industry
Whitehall cuts will be used to boost infrastructure spending by £3bn a year from 2015/16.
Support will be provided for energy intensive industries.
Osborne introduced a "generous" new tax regime to promote early investment in shale gas.
The Government intends to progress two major carbon capture and storage projects.
Package of measures introduced to reverse decline in asset management industry.
The Government is abolishing stamp duties on shares on growth markets such as AIM.
The main rate of corporation tax is being reduced by another 1pc.
The UK will have a 20pc rate of corporation tax from April 2015.
This will be offset by increasing the bank levy to 0.142pc.
Taxes and welfare
A large new package of measures on tax avoidance and evasion to bring in £3bn in unpaid taxes is being introduced.
The Capital Gains Tax holiday is to be extended.
Personal allowance is to be raised to £10,000 by next year - one year earlier than planned.
Support for families
Tax free childcare vouchers worth £1,200 per child are to be introduced, along with increased support for families with children on universal credit.
The flat rate pension worth £144 a week is to be brought forward to 2016.
A cap on social care costs is to come in during 2017 and protect savings above £72,000.
Support for Equitable Life policy holders is extended to those who bought with-profits annuities before 1992, with payments of £5,000 and an extra £5,000 for those on lowest incomes.
Help for home buyers
Under the Help to Buy scheme, the Government will commit £3.5bn of capital spending over next three years to shared equity loans.
It will offer equity loans worth up to 20pc on a new build home for anybody looking to move up the housing ladder.
A new mortgage guarantee, sufficient to support £130bn worth of loans, will be introduced to help people who cannot afford a big deposit.
Fuel duty
September's 3p rise in fuel duty has been cancelled.
Alcohol duty
The Government is maintaining the planned rise for all alcohol duty, with the exception of beer and beer duty is being cut by 1p. "We're taking a penny off the pint," said Osborne.
Promoting jobs
Osborne is creating the employment allowance, which will reduce every business' National Insurance payroll taxes by £2,000.
The Chancellor described the move as "taking tax off jobs".

Register a birth
All births in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must be registered within 42 days of the child being born.
You should do this at the local register office for the area where the baby was born or at the hospital before the mother leaves. The hospital will tell you if you can register the birth there.
If you cannot register the birth in the area where the baby was born, you can go to another register office and they will send your details to the correct office.
There are different rules for registering a birth in Scotland, registering a birth in Northern Ireland and registering a birth abroad.
Information you need when registering a birth
When registering the birth, you should know:
- place and date of the birth
- name, surname and sex of the baby
- parents' names, surnames and address
- places and dates of parents' birth
- date of parents' marriage or civil partnership
- parents' jobs
- mother's maiden surname
You might not need to give all of this information, depending on who is registering the birth.
What you should take
You should take at least one form of identification when you go to the register office. You can use:
- passport
- birth certificate
- deed poll
- driving licence
- proof of address (for example, a utility bill)
- Council Tax bill
- marriage or civil partnership certificate
You should also take your child's personal child health record or 'red book' as some registrars may ask to see it.
If you're going to the register office on your own, you may need proof of paternity from the other parent before you give their details.
Organisations you need to contact
Having a child may affect your tax and benefits and services from your local council. The Tell Us Once service can report a birth to several government organisations in one go. The registrar will let you know if this service is available in your area.
Bring the following information to your Tell Us Once appointment:
- the date of birth, address, phone and National Insurance number of the people to be named on the birth register, or of any partner living in the same household
- details of benefits anyone to be named on the birth register is getting or has applied for
- details of benefits any partner living in the same household is getting or has applied for
If the Tell Us Once service is not available in your area, you'll need to:
- claim Child Tax Credit
- contact JobCentre Plus about your benefits
Child Benefit
You need to register the birth before you can claim Child Benefit.
You cannot apply for Child Benefit through the Tell Us Once service but you may be able to have your claim verified at your appointment. This means that you will not have to buy a second birth certificate to send off with your claim form.
Ask your local registrar if you can do this when you make your Tell Us Once appointment.

Art Tatum is acknowledged by anyone who knows anything as one of the greatest and most influential jazz pianists of all time. A child prodigy born with perfect pitch, Tatum was picking up church hymns and tunes off the radio by ear at the age of three. As a teenager, the nearly blind Tatum started at the Columbus School for the Blind where he studied music and learned Braille. His first musical heroes were his contemporaries like the stride pianists James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, and Earl Hines. Within a few years he was playing in New York settling at the Onyx Club where he recorded his first sides for Brunswick. Tatum developed an incredibly fast improvisational style, and though he rarely ventured far from the original melodic lines of a song, his technique and ideas are a direct line to the bebop revolution of the late 1940's. One of Tatum's great quotes was "There is no such thing as a wrong note."
Though I'm often dubious of many opinions laid out by jazz critic Leonard Feather, I have to more or less agree with him when he called Tatum "the greatest soloist in jazz history, regardless of instrument." Legendary French writer and artist Jean Cocteau called Tatum "a crazed Chopin." Count Basie called him the eighth wonder of the world. Classical composer Sergei Rachmaninoff once said, "he has better technique than any other living pianist, and may be the greatest ever." Dizzy Gillespie said, "First you speak of Art Tatum, then take a long deep breath, and you speak of the other pianists." Charlie Parker, who briefly worked as a dishwasher at Jimmie's Chicken Shack in Manhattan, where Tatum regularly performed, once said, "I wish I could play like Tatum's right hand!" One of the most famous quotes about Art Tatum was by Fats Waller, whose introduction one night announced, "I only play the piano, but tonight God is in the house." Waller also once said, "When that man turns on the powerhouse, don't no one play him down. He sounds like a brass band."
Art Tatum died in Los Angeles on March 12, 1955 at Queen of Angels Medical Center from the complications of kidney failure. He was originally interred at Angelus Rosedale Cemetery, but in 1991 he was moved to the Great Mausoleum of Glendale's Forest Lawn Cemetery.

This little girl is talking to Santa Claus, and so may any other girl or boy who telephones Murray Hill 8-2205 in New York between now and Christmas.
Thus reads a photo caption in a 1947 LIFE magazine story about some holiday subterfuge devised by the famed New York toy store, FAO Schwarz. The clever gambit involved an FAO-produced phone system on which children could dial that number (MU8-2205) and speak directly to Santa himself, laying out their wishes for the holiday: world peace, universal human fellowship, a train set, a bunny. You know, the usual.
Here, LIFE.com presents photos from that article — as well as some other "Awww"-inspiring pictures that never ran in the magazine.

The dueling responses to the State of the Union address by Marco Rubio and Rand Paul tonight provide reporters with a ready-made story of Tea Party-aligned conservatives vying with one another in what many will view as a preview of future political rivalry ahead of the 2016 primaries. There is some truth to this story, but it exaggerates Rubio's connections with Tea Partiers and ignores the most important thing separating the two politicians. Something else that happened today that could end up defining the opposition between the two much more sharply, namely the Armed Services Committee's vote to report Hagel's nomination favorably to the full Senate on a party-line vote. Paul isn't going to criticize Rubio directly, and will focus his attention on countering Obama, which is why the speeches tonight are mostly a sideshow and won't tell us very much. The floor vote on Hagel's nomination on
Thursday Friday will matter much more.
Whatever problems there were with Rand Paul's foreign policy speech last week, he put down a marker and identified himself as a realist. Indeed, many parts of Sen. Paul's speech read as a more effective defense of Hagel's past positions than Hagel was willing to provide at his confirmation hearing. The campaign against Hagel represents a concerted effort to write realists like Hagel out of the GOP and to demonize them as "fringe" figures. On
Thursday Friday, Sen. Paul has the opportunity to show that Ted Cruz and others like him don't speak for all Tea Partiers, conservatives, or Republicans by voting to confirm Hagel. A vote against Hagel is a vote to condemn many of the arguments Sen. Paul made last week to irrelevance. "Pro-Israel" hawks and hard-liners are looking for reasons to reject Paul in spite of his overtures to them, and sooner or later they will reject him regardless of how he votes on Thursday. As their treatment of Hagel has shown, they won't tolerate anything short of absolute conformity, so there's no long-term future in trying to win them over. In the end, they will always prefer Rubio, who happily endorses their entire agenda. Paul's most likely supporters in the GOP are those that have recoiled from the disgraceful way Hagel has been treated. This week he has a chance to represent them in the Senate, and he shouldn't squander it.

For some reason, my students are fascinated to hear stories about my sons. I think it may have to do with the fact that we spend all of our time together at school—and a lot of time, in our full-day K, thank goodness! It's that same phenomenon when they run into me at the supermarket or Wal Mart and they act like they've seen a movie star. So funny! I get to meet family members and wave "hi" and "bye" numerous times, and then, the next time (or few times) I see that student at school, I will hear, "I saw you at Wal Mart!" For some reason, they get immense joy from seeing a teacher at a non-teacher place. I think the same is true about hearing that a teacher has a family, or any sort of life beyond the excitement of the classroom!
So I start off the lesson talking about my 3 year-old Jake. "Hey friends, you know how Jake really likes monster trucks?" I begin.
One particularly talkative turkey reports, "Yes, and your bigger son plays soccer."
"Mmm Hmm," I agree, continuing on with the Jake story. "Jake, you could say, collects monster trucks. He has a bunch of them, and he loves them all. Lately, he's been having fun making parking lots with his monster trucks, lining them up in rows." I continue. They're fascinated. Oh my goodness, only in kindergarten!
"Well, over break," I say, "Jake didn't want to pick up his parking lot. He was so pleased with his line of monster trucks that he left them out in the living room, just like this," I say, as I show a picture of Jake's trucks. A few boys announce that they have some of the same monster trucks, with infinite pride. So silly!
"I decided to do an experiment," I continue, with a devious smile. "I took a monster truck off the end, and I hid it!"
"Miss Ovelli! That's not nice!" a student protests.
I smile and agree. "I know! I just wanted to see if he'd notice, and guess what! He noticed right away! First thing the next morning, he woke up, went straight to his parking lot, rubbed his eye and asked where his blue monster truck was!"
The kids giggle.
"So later on," I continue, "I moved his trucks around in his parking lot, and do you know what?!" I ask, tapping in to their interest, "As long as all of his spaces were filled with a monster truck, he didn't mind where they were in his parking lot!"
"Today," I say with extra excitement, getting a little quieter, "We are going to make 8 in different ways, and the same sort of "rule" will apply! We will have to keep the spaces full to make 8 in our row, but as long as we always have 8, like Jake always had all his trucks, we will be A-OK! In fact, we will have a way to show all the ways to make 8, which is really big kid stuff!"
"Are you ready to get started?" I ask, to total excitement.
"Yes!" the students declare.
Before we begin with our group practice, I show an old Decomposing 4 page, with the chubby 2-colored circles. "Do you remember this?" I ask, to a bunch of affirmative nods and "Yes"es.
"Well, we're doing the same type of thing, but 8 is such a really big number, there's no way I could fit 8 of these big old circles across a page and up and down. We will use these cubes—we can pretend they're cars in a parking lot if you'd like—to show our 8's," I explain, showing a row of Unifix or counting cubes.
My student of the day helps me pass out a recording sheet to every student. I take rows of Unifix cubes and remove the last 2 cubes, reducing each row to 8.
"Now, girls and boys," I begin, "You will need to have one row of cubes sitting all together on your top row, like this," as I project an image of my row of intact cubes up on "the big screen." "The other cubes," I continue, "Need to be pulled apart and placed down by your tummies. Those are your fill-in cubes, because like Jake's parking lot, we have to have 8!"
Students giggle.
I walk around to see that we are all in a good place to begin. Students look ready, and we begin the process of coloring our squares to show the exact number of cubes that we have. This is where our former graphing practice comes in handy—I remind the kids that just like we made our little reminder marks in the exact squares that we color on a graph, we make those same marks to show exactly where to color on our rows of 8.
This is where I have a heart attack moment, I am embarrassed to admit. We count 8 together, across the top row, or so I think. As we count and get all the way to 8, I realize that we have AN EXTRA RECTANGLE on the recording sheet! (Since I make all of this stuff from scratch, I made the 9 page at the same time I made the 8 page we're using today. Somehow, I thought I took off a space, but I apparently just shrunk the rows of 9—which remained 9 on our 8 page! Oh no!!! This is a great moment to explain that "nobody's perfect," and we all make X's down the side of our paper. (This horrendous mistake has been corrected before adding the resource to this lesson. I just wanted to explain why we all have a bunch of X's.)
We practice the process of carefully marking the spaces, then recording the numbers, and removing one cube off the end at a time. When students are inclined to leave a block off the end, I remind them, "Remember the parking lot? We need to keep the spaces full!"
I keep looking for that moment where I can step back and make this an independent practice activity, but to be perfectly honest, it never happens. At each one of our 4 heterogeneous tables, there are at least 2 students who are not "solid" on the process at all. Sure, there are 4, possibly 5 kiddos in the class who can complete this activity with no further input from me, but they seem happy to be staying with the group. So group work continues. Perfect practice makes perfect. Confused practice makes… confusion!
Each time we take off one cube, we fill it in with our "fill in" cubes from the bottom. Everything about this activity focuses on the process, and each time we complete a new row—I make sure we emphasize the fact that 6 and 2 is 8, but 4 and 4 is also 8! We go on and on about the different combinations, and this is where the little guys who really "get" this concept are shining. By the end of the activity, I have those kiddos explaining the combinations, and they are telling me how "Yes, Ms. Novelli, it's still making 8…" This is fun!
When our parking lot is completely full of "fill in" cars, I start walking—without writing the numbers on "the big screen" to match the number combination. I know that if a student really understands this process, the first blank will have a 0 and the second will have "8." Hmm. It's not looking too good. I'm reassured that the entirely guided lesson was necessary.
As we wrap up our lesson, we put all of our cubes together in rows. (For little guys who make their cube rows into drum sticks, the cubes are quietly removed!)
"Let's sit back and admire our great work," I begin, and I show my work on the big screen while the kiddos look at their pages.
I love to talk about mathematical thinking, to put words to thought processes and to draw student attention to concepts that will help them grow as young mathematicians. So I start talking, directing their attention. "Hmm… my row was all red to start, and then there's this line that splits right down the middle—a diagonal line—and before I know it, at the bottom of my page, everything is blue, and there's no red left at all! Look at your pages. Do you have that too?!"
Some of the turkeys note that their colors were not red and blue—their colors are different—but the color switch is the same! Wow!
Then, we talk about the first row of numbers, and we count down the line. I'm pointing on the "big screen" as we count. "8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0!" A couple kids add "Blast off!" Hehe!
"Now, let's talk about the other side," I continue. "From the top, there's 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8!" Hey! What can you say about this!"
Students say some good stuff, like "The numbers keep changing!" Yes. "They go in order, like counting!" Yep. "When one goes down, the other one goes up!" Awesome.
I ask about their favorite parts of the lesson. They like coloring. One little guy likes the X's, with no sarcasm or bad feeling at all. "Glad I could help," I say with a smile. Of course, they like Jake and his trucks, and ask if I can bring them to school. Aw, I love my turkeys!
In classic kindergarten fashion, when asking about tricky parts of the lesson, the initial response is the same as usual, "It wasn't tricky. It's easy." So I start pulling it out of them. "Hmm… what about keeping track of the colors? Didn't you have to color over a section with another color, at least once in awhile?" I pry. One of my turkeys blurts, "She did!" pointing to her neighbor.
I remind them, "I'm not asking you to think about your neighbor's math, this is sharing what you think about your math!"
A few kids start to share that knowing where to put numbers on the number side was tricky, and I agree. We talk about paying attention to order and the places where things belong is so important. I take this moment to tell them that this habit of being precise and putting things in just the right place and using our routines just right will be important throughout math and science and in other classes too! I remind them it's good that we're already getting such good practice with this. They smile.
Back to pep rally mode for me. "Did we find lots of way to make 8?!" I ask/holler.
"Yes!" students respond.
"Tell me some!" I yell, while picking students. (For every eager kid that I "call on," I select someone else who is not raising a hand, just to keep things lively and the engagement high.)
"8 + 0!" "4 + 4!" "2 + 6!" I'm hearing. I add "Equals 8" to the number combinations, but it's great to hear them coming up with number

TORONTO -- Wrestling fans in Canada who just can't get enough -- and can't get off the couch -- now have a new option. Say hello to WWE 24/7, the video-on-demand product that has finally arrived north of the border.
Launched in March 2004 in the United States, the 24/7 channel features tons of WWE/WWF/WWWF archives,
along with the other properties the company owns, including ECW, the AWA, Smoky Mountain
Wrestling, Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW. WWE estimates put the collection as being a 75,000 hour
library of digital wrestling programming.
So far in Canada, it is just available to Rogers Digital Cable subscribers, but in an interview with SLAM! Wrestling, Tom Barreca, Executive Vice President, WWE Enterprises and head honcho of 24/7 promised that would change.
"We're talking to everybody pretty actively and we've been, but Rogers was sort of at the fore," Barreca said. "It sort of made sense that we came here first. But we're in active discussions with virtually all the players."
The subscription video-on-demand product is live as of today, with 20 hours of footage available at any one time, and four to five hours rotating in every week. Rogers is charging $9.95 a month for the ability to get WWE 24/7.
The press conference -- with media and fans present -- was a rolicking affair with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan cracking jokes over and over as master of ceremonies "Mean" Gene Okerlund tried to keep order.
Heenan took the podium, apologizing for his voice troubles, a result of battling throat cancer. "Anything you don't understand, pretend I'm American," he joked. Heenan promised that even the short-lived Bobby Heenan Show would air, reminding fans that it lasted "longer than my honeymoon."
Piper rambled through his early days in Toronto, and a combined recollection of WrestleMania I and the preceding War To Settle The Score on MTV before promising that the fans will love 24/7. "I hope you have a ball because this 24/7 is right up your alley," he told the fans in attendance.
WWE Canada president Carl DeMarco recalled his younger days heading to Maple Leaf Gardens, and called the 24/7 launch a "historic announcement for us and the WWE fans."
David Purdy, Vice President & General Manager, Television for Rogers, talked about how the power is now shifting to the customer. "For me, this is one of my greatest days at Rogers," the self-confessed wrestling fan said.

OROVILLE — Eric Maturino was a marked man three minutes into the game against Paradise High, due in part to the words that came out of the mouth of Bobcats first-year coach Jerry Hight.
After Maturino converted his second 3-pointer and 10th straight point for the Las Plumas High boys basketball team, Hight yelled out, "Let's get a hand on No. 24 now."
The in-game instructions only slowed down, but did not completely shut down, the LP junior guard-small forward, as Maturino went for a game-high 25 points to lead the Thunderbirds past Paradise 70-54 in the consolation semifinals of the 20th annual Dennis Burnum Classic on Friday afternoon at Oroville High.
"I like the extra pressure because it frees up some of our guys, so I can fake a shot, make a pass, then just scoring for the team," said Maturino, who also swished 5 of 8 3-pointers in the win.
The victory gives LP (4-11) another early-season test against league and city rival Oroville — a 58-50 winner over Gridley — in the consolation finals at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Paradise, meanwhile, drops into the seventh-place game, where it'll take on Gridley in the opener Saturday.
Hight admitted that he's frustrated with the team's 1-12 start to the season, given the shape Paradise is in and the amount of talent it has on its roster. The Bobcats tipped off Friday's contest with two of its leaders in fine fashion. Senior forward Tom Hays scored eight of his team-high 14 points and pulled down six of his eight rebounds, while junior Jonathan Dixon added five points and senior Jay Dance dropped in a 3 for a 20-19 lead through one quarter.
The early advantage wouldn't hold for long, as LP junior A.J. Cahee swished a 3 midway through the second quarter, pushing the T'birds back in front for the game's sixth lead change, 26-24.
Dixon, by far the biggest player on the court, outweighing the beefiest Thunderbird by 15 pounds, came back with one of his eight rebounds, and then proceeded to deliver a couple nice pump fakes, before converting the basket and drawing the foul for an eventual three-point play and 31-30 Paradise lead.
LP managed to put together a 6-1 run after that, capped by a Jess Little putback over senior Justin Gist to jump the T'birds ahead at halftime 36-32.
In the second half, LP went back to Maturino, and the 6-foot-2, 180-pounder swished home a pair of putbacks for an early 42-36 lead 5 minutes, 45 seconds into the third quarter. Not long after that, the T'birds extended it to double-digits, courtesy of another 3 from Maturino and steal and layup by senior Brendan Matheson, to push LP ahead of Paradise 51-40.
"I think that was his big breakout performance," said Las Plumas coach Allie Bruce on Maturino. "This game was the first one where we've all been healthy. We got Jordan Collins back, our 6-foot-4 post and team captain. He had I think 11 points, several rebounds and defensively he was a key."
The Bobcats fell behind by 19 early in the fourth quarter, which allowed Hight to empty his bench and get ready to concede the team's 10th straight defeat.
"It's frustrating and I feel like we're getting in better shape but we're still not to the point where we're able to close," he said. "All we can do is keep working hard and try and get on the winning side of things. We've had a long losing streak here, and it'll be nice to get a win under our belt and get some positive momentum before league."
Paradise begins Eastern Athletic League play at home against Oroville on Jan. 16.

[UPDATE: This story was originally published on October 24.]
Every now and then, a bauble comes around that is so mesmerizing that it knocks the wind right out of us. And while our accessory interests often fluctuate from edgy to whimsical to minimal, there's always room in our box for a free-spirited Southwestern addition. So, when we met local jewelry designer Tamar Wider of The 2 Bandits, we were smitten right off the bat. Her line's rustic elegance and California-meets-Texas vibe has us positively googly-eyed.
Naturally, we wanted to shine a spotlight on the darling designer and take a peek at her enviable duds. And it turns out, this gal's wardrobe is every bit as cool as her bits and bops! To see what we mean, check out this slideshow of Wider's favorite fall looks and get to clickin'.

My observations this month surround two different assembly lines that I've witnessed recently. In November I visited Eurocopter's Marignane sprawling headquarters complex outside of Marseille in the south of France. A month before I'd been to Boeing's Ridley Park facility outside of Philadelphia. The immediate impression that was made upon me was the difference in assembly method between the two lines, due largely to volume of order and customer profile of each aircraft type.
The Super Puma assembly technique in Marignane involved the helicopter, for the most part, staying static and engineering teams working around it. With an aircraft such as the versions encompassed in the Super Puma family, orders tend to be from a wide variety of customers but in volumes from single aircraft up to some that are into double figures. So when an aircraft needs a unique modification, the specialists come to it and fit the mod. The parts system is still centralized where engineers go and ask for the items they require and there seems to be a busy, almost cluttered hive of activity around each aircraft. But then with so many modifications that continually need to be done according to customer requirements, the ability to standardize this system into a pulse line seems limited. However, it does allow Eurocopter to be flexible and adaptive towards individual customer needs, however big or small they might be.
The opposite is true at Boeing's Ridley Park facility. With a single big customer that is the U.S. Army, it has been possible to lean and pulse-line helicopter production and the process surrounding it. If you are building so many aircraft the same, great economies can be made although even here, extra modifications have to be done to the completed aircraft at a different location. However, there was something very impressive about the focus on point of use where the exact location of different services, tools, skills and people are located around the circumference of the aircraft:
• <100 feet—tools, parts, test equipment and inspectors; • <200 feet—team areas, feeder areas, support personnel, lockers and break areas; • <300 feet – ITPs, deliveries, training, build-up, assemblies and so on.
I'm not saying that this was not present at the Eurocopter facility, it's just an observation that its U.S. counterpart—admittedly thanks to a recent multi-million dollar facility redesign—seemed to have its working area around the aircraft more ordered.
This does not mean that Eurocopter hasn't been modernizing, or doesn't believe in pulse lines. Far from it—in many ways it's down to a numbers game. However, having just seen its newly completed logistics center, with automated warehouse, it must be said that it is of a level of size in both actual space and volume of parts handled that is scarcely, if ever, seen outside of the U.S. in this business. It is almost how a Hollywood film would portray an automated industrial facility of the future—clean, always moving, relentless. And this is going to be, indeed already is, a tremendous advantage in the battle to keep customers happy and shortening the downtime of their precious rotary assets. Time is money—and the faster a spare or replacement part gets to where it is needed, the happier the customer. In today's harsh economic environment, that will count more than ever.

Say Aloha with Terry Ambrose
Terry Ambrose started his business career as a skip tracer and bill collector. He's been writing mysteries and suspense novels for more than 25 years, but only recently became serious about publishing. His debut mystery, "Photo Finish," was a 2013 San Diego Book Awards Finalist. In addition to writing fiction, Terry also writes about real-life scams and cons, profiles authors, and does book reviews as part of the featured content at terryambrose.com.
Could you please start by telling us a little about yourself?
I began my business career as a skip tracer and bill collector. During twenty years in customer service and business management with financial institutions, local governments, and public utilities, I wrote documentation, training materials and articles for newsletters and trade publications. I've also studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming to learn more about human communications. The trouble is, that's boring. It's a lot more fun to say I started out skip tracing and collecting money from deadbeats and quickly learned that liars come from all walks of life. I never actually stole a car, but sometimes hired big guys with tow trucks and a penchant for working in the dark to "help" when negotiations failed.
Please tell us your latest news!
My latest news is about "Kauai Temptations." This is my second McKenna Mystery and it's a book that I almost lost. I mean, as in gone-forever lost. Fortunately I found one backup copy on my old laptop in the trash. I think I have 10 backup copies now. Anyway, it's about what happens when the search for an identity thief takes a wrong turn. Wilson McKenna's bank tells him he's written $4,000 in bad checks on an island he's never been to. That makes him one unhappy haole. Things get worse when he's nearly arrested for impersonating himself and the woman who trashed his credit turns up dead. Before he knows it, McKenna's up to his 'umi'umi in hot lava.
Do you plan all your characters out before you start a story or do they develop as you write?
I know who every character is before I start writing, but not in detail. I'll have the basics, but as they go through the story I get to know them better. In my current WIP, I have a 12-year-old girl named Lily who is supposed to be in one scene. Her story fascinated me so much that before I knew it, she'd become an integral part of the overall plot.
What main genre do you write in?
I write in the mystery genre, but in different sub-genres. The McKenna Mystery books are classified as cozies. They're funny and set in Hawaii. The "License to Lie" series books are thrillers set in Carlsbad, CA. It's a completely different writing experience when I switch.
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?
I've always enjoyed writing. Most of my career, however, that meant writing training and marketing materials. I started writing fiction in my late 30s when I was under a huge amount of pressure at work. Partway through my very first "novel," I realized the process of writing was a release and decided to get serious about it. I joined a critique group, learned just how many beginner mistakes I was making, and began writing in earnest. Twenty-five years later, I decided it was time to get serious about publishing.
Do you have a specific writing style?
In "Scene and Structure," Jack M. Bickham described stimulus and response as the driving force behind good conflict. I strive to put that conflict on every page. In a review of "License to Lie," The San Francisco Book Review said, "The author writes a thriller that instead of gore, utilizes intellect and emotion, in an action packed story line to propel readers to an unexpected, but very satisfying, conclusion."
I also like to have realistic-sounding dialogue, characters that are three dimensional, and twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the end. No POV "head hopping", no "plot cheating." That's not my style.
If you could be one of your characters - Who would you be? And why?
McKenna is my alter ego. I think it would be fun to be him because he gets to say all the things I might be thinking, but am too chicken to say. He also gets to live in Hawaii—who could ask for more?
Can you please give us a sneak peek at any of your upcoming books?
"Con Game" is the sequel to "License to Lie." The complicated relationship between Skip Cosgrove and Roxy Tanner continues in "Con Game." Their relationship is complicated because they're in love, but neither trusts the other. With a man Skip once helped send to prison for armed robbery coming back to kill him and the mark in Roxy's latest con dead, their options are limited. Their only good choice is to split up to find a killer and a would-be murderer—and help a homeless girl from falling into a life that could get her killed.
How can readers find out more about you and your books?
I write more than fiction. I also do author interviews in which I look for the story behind the story, book reviews, and tips on how to avoid scams and cons. Everything is published to my website at terryambrose.com, where there's also information about my books. And, for those who like newsletters, I have a monthly newsletter called "The Snitch." It includes a recipe—typically gluten free, a tip to avoid a current scam, and contest information—including links to some of the best giveaways on Goodreads.
Do you belong to a critique group? If so, how does this help or hinder you?
I've belonged to critique groups off and on since I began writing fiction. The only times I haven't been in a group have been when we moved and I hadn't yet found a group. I've been in a few groups that just didn't work for me, but a good group is invaluable. I find that a critique group keeps me grounded. As authors, we get ideas that we think are fantastic, but the group is a great sounding board. For instance, I recently had a joke in an upcoming McKenna Mystery that I thought was hilarious. When I read for the group and nobody reacted, I realized it wasn't that funny after all. There's no doubt about it, writing is hard enough without doing it in a complete vacuum.
Wilson McKenna has never written a bad check in his life. So how did he end up with $4,000 in returned checks from an island he's never been to? Now, the bank wants their money and he's determined to track down the crook who's ruining his life. Before you can say "aloha," he's nearly arrested for impersonating himself, the woman who trashed his credit is dead, and he feels like he's up to his 'umi'umi in hot lava. McKenna had better watch out—some temptations can get you killed.

Chris Powell: Forget early release; the problem is any release
As they argue over the new program by which prisoners involved with rehabilitative pursuits earn reductions in their sentences, state officials keep missing the point.
Yes, two prisoners who received credits toward early release were charged soon after their release with the murder of store clerks during robberies in Meriden and East Hartford. But the prisoners had not received much time off their sentences and, assuming their new guilt, it's hard to imagine that their serving a little more prison time would have changed their behavior once released.
Indeed, since, quite apart from the early release program, about 70 percent of prisoners are back in serious trouble with the law soon after they leave prison, the important question is whether the rate of return to crime -- recidivism -- is any better or worse with prisoners who have gone through the program. The program is too new to evaluate well, but the limited evidence is that it hasn't made things any worse than they were, which was bad enough.
Recidivism generally is the compelling point about the early release program and criminal justice. In Connecticut one has to work hard at crime to get a prison sentence, and most people sentenced to prison are already chronic offenders and incorrigibles -- like the ex-cons charged in the recent murders in Meriden and East Hartford.
The most recent case in the early release controversy emphasizes this -- the case of a 49-year-old man released from prison 6 1/2 months early and soon charged with indecent exposure on a bus in Middletown. He already has had 28 convictions, including one for rape at knifepoint 22 years ago. So how could anyone really have thought that a rehabilitation program would change his behavior? And how could anyone really think that holding him another 6 1/2 months would have changed it?
That is, in Connecticut it's possible to accumulate 28 convictions, some of them violent felonies, and still not receive a life sentence and still be released even though prison destroys far more than it rehabilitates character and the character of most prisoners was destroyed long before they got to prison in the first place.
The only solution is for the law to set a threshold of incorrigibility requiring a life sentence beyond judicial discretion. It wouldn't have to be the three felonies of a "three strikes" law. Even a "20 strikes" law, a combination of felonies and misdemeanors, would be a vast improvement. Without that, most criminal justice will remain a revolving door and a waste of time and the law-abiding will remain unprotected. For the problem isn't early release -- it's any release.
In recent weeks Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon has been broadcasting television and radio commercials denouncing her Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, as a "career politician." Murphy has been in office for 14 years, moving from the General Assembly to Congress in 2007.
At the same time McMahon summoned four prominent Republicans to campaign for her:
Maine Sen. Susan Collins, who began holding positions in government in 1975 and has served in the Senate since 1996.
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a two-term state legislator appointed to the Senate in 2002 to succeed her father, who had served there for 22 years before being elected governor.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, a 30-year member of Congress.
And former Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell, who held elective office for 28 years.
All four McMahon campaigners have had political careers far longer than Murphy's, and yet McMahon believes that the public should think well of them anyway.
McMahon's sneer about "career politicians," as stupid and hypocritical as it is demagogic, needs the response given in 1948 by Tennessee Sen. Alben Barkley to sneers about "bureaucrats," the political buzz word back then. "A bureaucrat," Barkley said, "is a Democrat who has a job some Republican wants."
Chris Powell is managing editor of the Journal Inquirer in Manchester.

The International CES might never have seen so many connected devices in its history. Never mind phones and tablets, everything from cooking pots to cars and fitness bands now connect to the Internet and broadcast information.
That can mean new levels of convenience, but it also raises important questions about privacy and who gets to see the data, and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker is paying attention.
"I think we need to ... have a real look at the issue of privacy and where you draw the lines and what are the rules," Pritzker said in an interview with IDG News Service at the International CES expo in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
"I don't think there is consistency or clarity right now ... in terms of what companies are collecting and what they can do with that data," she said.
The issue was underscored for her, she said, when she toured CES and saw some of the gadgets on display, especially those associated with the "Internet of things." That's a catch-all term coined by the industry for devices such as home appliances, sensors and industrial equipment that can connect to the Internet and share information.
Samsung's Smart Home project, for example, pushes data from air conditioners, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners to a server, where it can be accessed through a smartphone app. Belkin has an Internet-connected cooking pot that can similarly be controlled from afar via the Internet. So the next time you make a stew at home, someone far away might know what you're cooking up.
"You say to yourself, 'Do I want everybody to know that? Do I want that [information] freely recordable somewhere else [where] I don't know what is going to happen to it?" she asked.
"It raises, for a lot of people, questions, and I think we should have a conversation about it and I think that needs to sorted out."
The issue of personal privacy was brought to national attention in the second half of 2013 when documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed massive data collection efforts by the U.S. government to monitor Internet and telephone traffic in the U.S. and overseas.
Pritzker said the Department of Commerce has been part of the discussion with the White House regarding the program. President Barack Obama is due to issue a report on the issue soon.
She said they both share concern on privacy issues as far as the NSA is concerned and that needs to be one of the things weighed in determining the direction of future surveillance efforts. She said it should also be ensured that any surveillance is being carried out for a legitimate purpose.
