 he vacillates through a series of emotions that are synonymous with life’s journey. On the other hand, his wife is disgusted for increasingly obvious reasons.
Forced to acknowledge the ramifications of a regrettable mistake, Locke risks all that is dear to him. Condemn him if you will, but imagine if President Clinton had shown the courage to simply admit his weakness concerning the young Monica Lewinsky and refused to deny the encounter and vilify her in the process. Maybe he would have benefitted had he gotten into a car and simply driven for a few hours to talk things over with an angry Hillary and his staff.
Say what you want about Ivan Locke, but he is no Bill Clinton.
I just rewatched one of my favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes “Heart of Glory“, one best season 1 episodes…. where the 2 ( and a half??) Klingons are aboard the enterprise and attempt to recruit Worf to mutiny.
The early scene where Picard can see through Geordi’s VISOR was just as goofy as I remembered…. the idle chit chat about the video tap as the crew was in a dangerous situation was something the later Picard would never do.
They didn’t tap into Geordi’s VISOR again until the fist TNG movie did they?
The Klingon costumes were re used from STAR TREK 3 weren’t they?
The visual direction of the finale was excellent, the shots of the various parts of engineering never seen before or since!
And the wide shot/wider shot/much wider shot of Worf doing the funeral howl was really impressive.
Note: The funding reported here excludes some items that could not be allocated to individual states.
Within the business sector, manufacturing companies continue to conduct the lion’s share of R&D. As shown below, manufacturing performed 68.5 percent of private sector R&D in 2011. This is down from previous decades, as several service sectors have grown rapidly. In particular, the software publication, computer systems design, and scientific services sectors now comprise, in aggregate, 19.2 percent of R&D performed.
But rather than these service sectors, manufacturing remains the primary contributor to the Seventh District’s R&D prominence. The far right columns in the table below display the District’s relative employment concentration in leading R&D sectors by individual industry.4 The first three rows present the employment concentration of leading service industries in R&D performance. With a few exceptions, such as Wisconsin’s high concentration in software publishing at 39 percent above the national average, District state concentrations tend to fall below national levels. In contrast, the manufacturing leaders in R&D activity are much more concentrated in District states. For example, concentrations in non-medicinal chemicals such as industrial chemicals exceed national levels in every District state, as does the machinery industry concentration. Pharmaceuticals and medicinals are strong in Indiana and Illinois, while electronic equipment employment is especially concentrated in Illnois and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, employment concentrations in the motor vehicle industries are off the charts in Indiana and Michigan. And as previously discussed, automotive employment and spending for R&D have become much more concentrated there than the total employment numbers might suggest, as the state has held onto its R&D even as production activities have moved to other states and regions.
Among major R&D performers in manufacturing, the only area in which the Seventh District does not have a significant employment concentration is the computer and electronic products sector. This sector’s products and components are distinguished by “the design and use of integrated circuits and the application of highly specialized miniaturization technologies (which) are common elements….”5 Manufacturing activity and employment in this sector have tended to concentrate in California, Texas, Massachusetts, and other states outside of the Midwest region.

As regions look to innovation as the wellspring of their economic development, they may be well advised to build on their existing sources of innovation activity. For the states of the Seventh District, the traditional base of manufacturing industries is clearly an important candidate.

2 Funding patterns differ from R&D performer patterns; the federal government funds almost 30% of overall R&D, with large proportions allocated to the business sector (especially defense contractors) and colleges and universities. The character of R&D also differs across sectors, with colleges and universities typically engaging in “basic” research, an activity that advances science with no specific application. In contrast, businesses more often fund development and applied R&D, activities that are intended to introduce new products or services into commercial use. See InfoBrief, NSF 140307, December 2013.

4 Employment concentrations are measured here across all occupations of firms in the sector, not solely R&D activities.

Note: Thanks to Timothy J. Larach for assistance.The Cape Notre Dame girls golf team did what every high school team in the nation strives for, and not just once but twice.
Notre Dame won its second-straight Class 1 State Championship in one round of golf due to inclimate weather canceling day two.
Senior Sarah Bell won her second individual state championship by hitting two under par at 69 while fellow senior Allison Bray tied for second at 74.
Also placing in the top five for Notre Dame was sophomore Taryn Overstreet, tying for fifth place at 83, who took sixth in last year’s tournament with a combined score of 158 (80, 78).
Head coach Mark Moore is only in his second season at the helm for Notre Dame, and he credits these two state titles due to the team he inherited.
Both Bell and Bray had qualified for state their freshman and sophomore seasons, and Moore heard his incoming freshman Overstreet was going to make quite the impact in 2016.
This made the expectations for the 2017 season even higher with every golfer returning and the fact the Bulldogs had won state by 40 points the year before.
Coach Moore said it was difficult trying to keep his team motivated and focused because the team was relaxed this year thinking it would be no problem to repeat.
Bell suffered an injury and was out for a few weeks, leading the team to lose a match and place second in a couple tournaments.
“I think that helped keep them focused and helped the girls at the back end of the lineup be ready to go for the postseason,” Moore said.
Moore said seniors Haley Taylor and Olivia Williams played some of their best golf in the postseason as each placed in the top 10 of the sectional tournament.
Coach Moore said it’s not the talent he will miss from these graduating seniors, but how much fun they were to be around.<gh_stars>0
