SD festival drawing filmmakers to middle America - Centre Daily Times

ABERDEEN, S.D. ? It's a Friday night on Main Street in the small northern South Dakota town of Aberdeen, and it's supposedly a hopping one with the marquee event of the annual South Dakota Film Festival being held at the historic Capitol Theater.

And yet, the street is nearly empty. The chirping of crickets is only occasionally disturbed by passing cars or pedestrians. Cannes or Sundance, this is not.

Some might consider it an unfortunate side effect of being, well, in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota, in a town hugged by corn fields and the closest "big cities" - Fargo, Bismarck, Sioux Falls and Pierre - each being about three hours away.

But Tom Black doesn't see it that way.

"We're not the middle of nowhere. We're the middle of everywhere," said Black, a co-producer of the South Dakota Film Festival, which this weekend is in its sixth year.

Looking at a map, he's just about right. As long as film goers don't mind that cattle outnumber local residents, Aberdeen is pretty close to being smack dab in the middle of the country.

And it's that central location that has grown the small-town festival into a filmmakers' favorite, consistently drawing hundreds of people into the quaint-but-spacious theater each of the event's four days.

It's gotten so big, in fact, that organizers said they might need to spread to other downtown locations in the next year or two.

"It's charming here. It's a great theater," said Mike Scholtz, 42, of Minnesota, whose latest documentary "Wild Bill's Run" has won awards at both the South Dakota and Seattle film festivals. The "arctic crime caper" also has been accepted into the better-known Mountain Film Festival in Canada's Banff, Alberta.

"A lot of festivals are in hotel conference rooms, or just spaces that aren't as nice for film watching. This is a really nice space for it," Scholtz said.

Indeed, the Capitol Theater is the stuff of theatres past. Inside the lobby is an ornate chandelier and restored 1920s organ. The theater itself is adorned with turn-of-the-century embellishments and balcony seating. The screen pulls down over a true stage, one that's used for live performances by the Aberdeen Community Theatre.

It's a space Penny Stolsmark of Pierpont, S.D., has known since childhood - but Friday marked the first time she and her husband have visited for the film festival.

"We had to come. We've never been to this before, but we always wanted to," Stolsmark said. "We're big moviegoers. I'm thinking if we really like it tonight, we might VIP it next year."

What drew Stolsmark to this year's festival wasn't a new film, but rather one celebrating its 20th anniversary: "Thunderheart" starring Val Kilmer and Native American actor Graham Greene. Greene is arguably best known for his role in another South Dakota-filmed movie, "Dances With Wolves," for which he was nominated for a best supporting actor Academy Award.

The showing, followed by a question-and-answer period with Greene, was to be one of the festival's highlights.

Saturday is to feature a preview of upcoming films made in South Dakota, a six-minute silent flick called "Bus 1107," a horror film called "Werewolf in a Girls Sorority," and what Black describes as this year's big get: "Butter," a film starring Jennifer Garner that won't be widely released until Oct. 5.

And that's just a sampling. About 100 filmmakers entered their works; about half of those were accepted, organizers said. Many of the films have cast or crew from the Upper Great Plains.

"We'll tear about 1,000 tickets over the course of the weekend," Black said.

Scholtz, who made his first film in 1997, said Aberdeen - population 27,000 - will continue to lure him because it's a "filmmakers' festival."

"Everyone in the film community in the Midwest is aware of the festival," he said. "Average people won't have heard of it, but they have a really good reputation with filmmakers."

Black said that while the festival is heavy on Great Plains artists, it also draws filmmakers from Florida, Washington state, Washington D.C., and the rest of the country. People don't just love showing their work in South Dakota, he said, they like making it here, too.

Not only does the state offer the picturesque landscape that made "Wolves" star Kevin Costner a lifelong fan, but it's cheap for film workers, Black said. South Dakota doesn't have the income tax, union labor or hefty sales tax of some other states, he said.

"You may think Chicago isn't the middle of nowhere, but it takes a lot longer to get to Chicago for most people," Black said. "We're actually the perfect place."

Open WebOS 1.0 ported to Galaxy Nexus (video)

Today HP announced the release of version 1.0 of Open WebOS, those being the remnants of the once super promising Palm operating system. The team behind the project showcased their achievement by porting the OS to a PC. But the place where people really want to see it running is on a phone, where it was meant to be.

Enter the WebOS Ports team, who have managed to get it running on a Galaxy Nexus. According to them it took about two months of development to get the operating system to run on Samsung hardware, and it can now connect to Wi-fi and do most things a normal phone can. However there's still work to be done as the phone features, including SMS aren't ready yet.

The most difficult part is getting complete hardware acceleration for the OS. And as you can see from the video, the phone desperately needs it before it can actually be used by a normal human being. But the project is heading in that direction, their goal being to make the Galaxy Nexus with WebOS a real alternative to whatever else is on the market.

Since the project isn't complete the WebOS Ports team has yet to to release a full how to guide to get it running on your Nexus device but, when they do, it will most certainly be posted on their Wiki.

Ancient stinging nettles reveal Bronze Age trade connections

ScienceDaily (Sep. 28, 2012) ? A piece of nettle cloth retrieved from Denmark's richest known Bronze Age burial mound Luseh?j may actually derive from Austria, new findings suggest. The cloth thus tells a surprising story about long-distance Bronze Age trade connections around 800 BC.

2,800 years ago, one of Denmark's richest and most powerful men died. His body was burned. And the bereaved wrapped his bones in a cloth made from stinging nettle and put them in a stately bronze container, which also functioned as urn.

Now new findings suggest that the man's voyage to his final resting place may have been longer than such voyages usually were during the Bronze Age: the nettle cloth, which was wrapped around the deceased's bones, was not made in Denmark, and the evidence points to present-day Austria as the place of origin.

"I expected the nettles to have grown in Danish soil on the island of Funen, but when I analysed the plant fibres' strontium isotope levels, I could see that this was not the case," explains postdoc Karin Margarita Frei from the Danish National Research Foundation's Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen.

"The levels indicate that the nettles grew in an area with geologically old bedrock. We can only find rock with similar levels of strontium isotope in Sweden and Norway as well as in Central Europe."

Karin Margarita Frei had to conclude that Bronze Age Danes did not use local stinging nettle for their nettle textiles.

Strontium tells us where we come from

It is Karin Margarita Frei who has developed the method to determine plant textiles' strontium isotope levels that has led to the surprising discovery.

Strontium is an element which exists in Earth's crust, but its prevalence is subject to geological and topographical variation. Humans, animals, and plants absorb strontium through water and food. By measuring the strontium level in archaeological remains, researchers can determine where humans and animals lived, and where plants grew.

The new discovery is the result of a collaboration between an international team of researchers from the Danish National Research Foundation's Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen, the University of Bergen in Norway, and the National Museum of Denmark. The findings are described in an article that has just been published in Nature's online journal Scientific Reports.

Made in Austria

Karin Margarita Frei's work and the grave's archaeological remains suggest that the cloth may have been produced as far away as the Alps.

A bronze container, which had been used as urn, is of Central European origin and probably from the K?rnten-Steiermark region in Austria. The strontium isotope analysis of the cloth indicates that it may very well be from the same region. This assumption is supported by yet incomplete analyses of pitch found in the Luseh?j grave.

Textile archaeologist Ulla Mannering from the National Museum of Denmark offers an explanation as to how an Austrian cloth ended up in Funen, Denmark.

"Bronze Age Danes got their bronze from Central Europe, and imports were controlled by rich and powerful men. We can imagine how a bronze importer from Funen in Denmark died on a business trip to Austria. His bones were wrapped in an Austrian nettle cloth and placed in a stately urn that his travel companions transported back to Denmark," Ulla Mannering suggests.

Nettles made good textile

The strontium isotope analyses have surprised Ulla Mannering.

She concludes on the basis of the analyses that Central Europeans still used wild plants for textile production during the Bronze Age while at the same time cultivating textile plants such as flax on a large scale. Nettle textiles could apparently compete with textiles made from flax and other materials because top quality nettle fabrics are as good as raw silk.

The strontium isotope analyses also mean that Danish textile history needs revision.

"Until recently the Luseh?j nettle cloth was the oldest nettle cloth we knew, and the only Bronze Age nettle cloth, but with our new findings we actually have no evidence that nettle textiles were produced in Denmark at all during the Bronze Age," Ulla Mannering points out.

Why I never trust GPS maps completely (and you shouldn't either)

23 min.

Wilson Rothman

On a trip to Oregon's?Willamette Valley in the spring of 2010, I was using the Google-powered?Maps app on an iPhone 3GS to hunt down wineries while my friend drove.?

That's farm country, and driving on dirt roads is pretty much expected. Nevertheless, it seemed odd when the app told us to turn onto a gated farm driveway.?

Then we saw the sign: "Sorry your GPS brought you here. To get to the winery you came for, turn around and go back?" It was polite, but you could sense that the farmer who posted it was somewhere on his tractor, smirking.

There's an old sailor's adage: Always carry at least two forms of navigation.

While that no longer means "pack a sextant," it does mean you should at least?have a back-up GPS app, a separate GPS device?or even a honest-to-gosh?dead-tree road atlas when you're in unknown territory.?Thanks to the well-publicized shortcomings of Apple's new Maps app???the first one that's?not powered by Google data???our blind reliance on GPS apps has become quite clear.

As a tech writer and navigationally challenged human who's reviewed GPS gadgetry for 10 years, I've learned that?any system can be as flawed as it is useful, and you should never trust it 100 percent.

Back in the early 2000s, before we were married, my wife lived for a couple of years in Washington, D.C. and I would head down there from New York on weekends.?When you're driving along in D.C., numbered roads veer into lettered roads, and?you have to make a lot of weird corrections?every few blocks, all the while risking driving straight into a fountain or a statue of a man on a horse. While D.C. residents take pride in the "National Treasure"-grade mysteries of getting around the nation's capital, outsiders like me fail to appreciate it. So when GPS became a thing, I was all over that.

My wife and I referred to the first GPS navigator as "the other woman," but in reality, this authoritative, British female voice was a relationship counselor: When road rage was high and we weren't listening to each other, we would both listen to her.

During that period, I tested a lot of GPS products for my weekly column on Time.com and for pieces in the New York Times and Money Magazine. I got to try out all of the major brands, and compare them side by side.?With GPS, even D.C. was, for the most part, much easier to get around in.?

But there was one map error that constantly perplexed us: When driving back from the Pentagon City Mall to Southeast D.C., we would always be told to take an exit that didn't exist. New construction, you may think, but there was no evidence that the exit ever existed. At least not where it told us it was.

The sudden surge of consumer GPS gadgets around 2001 and 2002 was caused by the U.S. government allowing civilian hardware to access the?1-meter GPS?accuracy that had previously only been available to military devices.?

But GPS only tells you where you are in latitude and longitude?? building?the visual maps that need to be placed under those pinpoints is a challenging multi-billion-dollar endeavor. Even Google???which stood on the shoulders of mapmakers such as TomTom-owned Tele Atlas and Nokia-owned Navteq when building its remarkable geographical database???can get it wrong every so often.

The world is constantly changing???roads and bridges spring up, while old ones are closed off. Cow pastures become shopping centers. Restaurants and bars open and go out of business. A broken clock may be right twice a day, but?a map of the world really never is.

In 2004 or 2005, TomTom was pitching me on its latest dash-mounted navigator. I had favored Garmin (which used Navteq's maps, which experience had suggested to me were more reliable than the Tele Atlas ones used by TomTom). Nevertheless, I was willing to give TomTom (and Tele Atlas) another try. When I set it up, however, I noticed a real problem: My home wasn't on the map.?

The best rationale was that my street was part of a new-ish apartment development, but excuses don't work when you can't even get home! The apartment complex in question has since been added to the Tele Atlas database???sure enough, it?appears on the new Tele Atlas-powered Apple Maps app.

But even my preferred Garmins gave me trouble. When I went to the wedding of one of my best friends, out in rural Vermont, the GPS system would get me within a mile of his house, but leave me out on a road in the middle of a field. Finding his house from there?required dead-reckoning, though the balloons on the mailbox didn't hurt.

Down in Texas, visiting my brother-in-law, even a simple search for Starbucks once turned into an existential nightmare (made worse by lack of caffeine). The "point of interest"???those geo-tagged yellow pages that are the least reliable part of the GPS map experience???plopped a Starbucks smack in the middle of a quiet residential street. We never did quite figure out where that phantom Starbucks really was, or if it existed at all.

Smartphones were thought to be the holy grail, because they could download fresher (and therefore???we naively assumed???more accurate) maps on the fly. Never again would a random construction project take you by surprise. So we cheered the arrival in 2009 of bona-fide turn-by-turn smartphone?navigation, particularly the free version that?Google offered on the Motorola Droid and subsequent phones running?Android 2.0.

For iPhone users, GPS navigation was a double-edged sword, because without Apple providing a free homegrown navigator,?people who wanted live turn-by-turn instructions had to pay up in the App Store, sometimes up to?$100. The bulk of iPhone owners stuck with the native Maps?app, powered by Google, and even though it was only at its best?when you had a navigator riding shotgun, who could read out instructions,?its accuracy became the gold standard.

Cue all hell breaking loose when Apple swapped it out with their own approach, powered by the Tele Atlas map?database instead of Google's. The problems there are compounded: It's not just that some of the map data is screwy, it's that the points of interest that are pegged to the map can be way off.?

To make it worse, Apple oversold the 3-D multitouch map?manipulation. While?it looks insanely great when fully operational, it looks downright screwy when rendered wrong or used in an unsupported area (like most of the world). Apple bit off more than it can chew and, as CEO Tim Cook's apology indicates, the company is choking.

The other day, my family was packed into the minivan, heading from Seattle to a friend's house across Lake Washington. Our car's navigator was trying to take us over the 520 toll bridge, but Apple's Maps app was saying to go over I-90, which is free. We steered in that direction, and were glad we did: Turns out, the 520 bridge was closed all weekend.

It's at this point that a sane person just throws up his hands. If the free Apple upgrade works some of the time, and my car navi works some of the time, and I've also got the Garmin app and?Google maps via the browser, the real answer is the sailor's law: Reliance on one navigation tool is stupid, so always have a back-up.

Sony ties up with Olympus, takes 11 percent stake

Hiroyuki Sasa, left, speaks as his predecessor Shuichi Takayama, second left, and two outside directors of the company, Hiroshi Kuruma, second right, and Yasuo Hayashida, attend a press conference in Tokyo when the entire board of scandal-tainted Olympus resigned and the new president was tapped to lead a turnaround at the Japanese medical equipment maker. Sony and Olympus have agreed on a business alliance that will see Sony Corp. invest 50 billion yen ($640 million) for an 11 percent stake in the embattled medical equipment and camera company.

FILE - In this April 12, 2012 file photo, office workers leave the headquarters of Sony Corp. in Tokyo. Sony and Olympus have agreed on a business alliance that will see Sony invest 50 billion yen ($640 million) for an 11 percent stake in the embattled medical equipment and camera company. The deal, announced Friday, Sept. 28, was widely expected as Sony president Kazuo Hirai had expressed interest in such a move as part of a turnaround at the Japanese electronics and entertainment company. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara, File)

TOKYO (AP) ? Sony is expanding its sprawling electronics to movies business empire with a new venture ? looking inside the human body.

The company on Friday said it will spend 50 billion yen ($640 million) for an 11 percent stake in Olympus Corp., an embattled maker of endoscopes, which are the long thin camera-equipped instruments that allow medical professionals to peer inside the body.

The deal was widely expected as Sony president Kazuo Hirai had expressed interest in moving into the medical equipment business.

Olympus Corp. is the world's biggest maker of endoscopes and is also known for its cameras. It has been on shaky ground after its British chief executive Michael Woodford turned whistleblower and helped unearth a scandal involving a systematic cover-up of massive losses.

Sony Corp. has its own problems and is hoping new businesses will be part of its turnaround. Sony has reported losses for four straight years as it fell behind in portable music players, flat-panel TVs and smartphones. Sony's red ink for the latest fiscal year through March was the worst in its 66-year history.

The two companies said they will set up a new medical equipment company together later this year, 51 percent owned by Sony and the rest by Olympus.

The alliance between Sony and Olympus will focus on the camera business as well, and both sides can benefit from sharing their technology, and working together to become more competitive, they said. In such alliances, companies can share in procurement on parts, boosting their bargaining power with suppliers and lowering costs.

"I will do my best to make this meaningful and profitable for both Olympus and Sony," Hirai said in a statement. Sony will become the biggest shareholder in Olympus after acquiring the 11 percent stake.

Olympus President Hiroyuki Sasa said working with Sony will help shore up Olympus' finances, and that its endoscope business would benefit from Sony's image-sensor technology.

Sasa and Hirai plan a joint news conference Monday morning in Tokyo, where they will likely face questions about how two troubled Japanese companies getting together might lead to them competing more successfully on the global stage.

Earlier this week, Sasa was at the Tokyo District Court to enter a guilty plea for Olympus, along with three former executives who faced charges as individuals, in the opening session of a trial into the fraudulent financial reports.

Olympus has said it hid 117.7 billion yen ($1.5 billion) in investment losses dating to the 1990s.

Prosecutors outlined in detail the elaborate schemes concocted over the years, using overseas bank accounts, paper companies and transactions controlled behind-the-scenes, all to keep massive losses off the company books.

County launches flu vaccination campaign - Ramona Sentinel ...

Influenza, regardless of what type, can be deadly, say county health officials, adding they want everyone aged 6 months and older to be immunized.

?The best protection against the flu is to get vaccinated,? Supervisor Greg Cox said today. ?I already received my shot and I hope every eligible county resident will get their shot too.?

The vaccine is especially recommended for people who are at higher risk of developing serious complications from the flu, including people with certain medical conditions, pregnant women, and people 65 years and older.

The highest number of influenza-related deaths came at the height of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic when 58 people died in San Diego County, health officials reported

The second highest total came a year later when 24 deaths were reported?eight due to H1N1. Prior to those two years, the highest number of deaths occurred during the 2003-04 flu season when 22 deaths were recorded. A total of 14 deaths were recorded during the 2005-06 and the 2011-12 flu seasons.

?Influenza can be a serious and deadly disease; especially for the elderly and young infants, as well as for people with chronic conditions like heart disease or diabetes,? said Dean Sidelinger, M.D., M.S.Ed., child health medical officer for the County Health and Human Services Agency

This year?s flu vaccine is expected to offer protection against Pandemic H1N1, Influenza A H3N2, and Influenza B. The vaccine is available throughout San Diego County at doctors? offices and retail pharmacies.

County public health centers have flu vaccine available for children and adults with no medical insurance. For a list of locations, visit sdiz.org or call 2-1-1.

How Critical Thought Increases Innovation and Improves ...

Running a business requires more than sound formulas. While there are plenty of time-tested methods for getting things started, it takes an extra something to create a business that not only survives but thrives in various economic conditions. There isn?t a clear-cut answer for every question, and not every problem has an ideal solution. While it?s acceptable to borrow someone else?s playbook for most things, business owners who lack originality and problem-solving skills will get left in the dust by those who can think creatively.

Flexibility and Leadership in the New Millennium

The technological landscape has changed on a wider scale within the last decade than it did during the three decades that preceded it. This has rendered a lot of old business strategies obsolete, and the rate of progress has shown no signs of slowing down. It?s the primary reason that business owners need to become more creative; viable long-term strategies need to incorporate a degree of flexibility that business plans didn?t require prior to the 21^st century.

It isn?t enough for business owners to hire creative thinkers to serve their companies. They need to embody what they want to see in their employees. Companies without strong leaders are like rudderless ships in stormy seas; employees may have brilliant ideas, but without someone in charge who recognizes true innovation, those ideas become little more than wasted potential. Business owners don?t need to become experts at everything, but they do need to know enough to be able to hire the right people, and they need to be beacons of confidence to those who have entrusted them with their futures.

Applied Understanding

There?s always more than one way to approach a problem, and learning all of the various methods is necessary for truly understanding what?s at the core of it. That understanding can often be applied to other aspects of a business, and it gives employees the kind of experience that?s immensely helpful when dealing with new challenges.

This is where critical thinking comes into play. When it?s broken down, critical thought requires two things: a willingness to question assumptions and the ability to create actionable plans. It?s not entirely unlike the scientific method, and the main benefit is that it?s results-oriented over everything else. It forces people to keep digging until they uncover solutions, and as long as there are well-defined goals, a little critical thought can go a long way.

Creativity and the Bottom Line

A lot of business owners make the mistake of undervaluing creative thinking, but creativity is the wild card that can push a business over the top. Creative marketing campaigns are responsible for sustaining the profitable empires of countless corporate entities, and encouraging creativity among employees can lend itself to bursts of inspiration that end up becoming incredibly?profitable. Creative work environments also foster?job satisfaction

among employees, and that helps business owners create an army of loyal workers who want to see their company succeed. That?s a key component of long-term financial success.

The Expectations of the Modern Age

It?s not easy to run a business, and encouraging creativity and critical thought may seem like a huge burden for some, but the potential payoff is far too great to ignore. Businesses can no longer survive if they are devoid of creativity, and fostering the kind of work environment that engages both creative and critical impulses is necessary for survival in the modern world.

Reed Resources mandates Credit Suisse for $19m debt finance for ...

Friday, September 28, 2012 by John Phillips

(ASX: RDR, OTC: RDRUY) has appointed Credit Suisse to act as arranger to provide $19 million in debt finance for the wholly owned Meekatharra Gold Project located in the prolific Murchison region of Western Australia.

The funds are to be used for working capital requirements, with Reed receiving a credit approved term sheet which is subject to detailed documentation.

Luke Tonkin, managing director for Reed, commented on the facility: ?The Credit Suisse facility, which replaces the previously announced $23M facility offer by another lender, provides the company with a flexible funding and hedging package which will not only provide funding for the development of Stage 1 of the Meekatharra project but will also allow the company to commence preliminary work on Stage 2 of the project in a shorter timeframe.?

Highlighting the potential of the Meekatharra Gold Project, it currently hosts a Resource of 3.6 million gold ounces and a Reserve of 752,000 gold ounces, with the current forward plan to commence mining in October 2012 with commissioning in December 2012.

Another plus for the project is the strong potential for gold ounce growth, considering there has been limited exploration on majority of Reed?s 1000 square kilometre tenement area.

Key features of the facility

- $19 million Senior Secured Term Loan Facility;
- Tenor of twelve months from first utilisation, with an option to extend a further six months;
- A hedging facility which includes 70,000 ounces in forward delivery contracts and 40,000 ounces in bought puts; and
- Mining approval for the Batavia open pit is a condition precedent to utilisation (mining approval for the Bluebird and Surprise Stage 1 pits have been received, with the required approvals for the Batavia pit expected in the coming weeks).

Ryder Cup 2012: US, Europe tied after initial matches

Keegan Bradley of the US enjoyed his first Ryder Cup match Friday morning, while Tiger Woods continued to struggle.

By Nancy Armour,?Associated Press / September 28, 2012

USA's Keegan Bradley reacts after making a putt to win the hole during a foursomes match at the Ryder Cup PGA golf tournament Friday, Sept. 28, 2012, at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Ill.

Even Tiger Woods.

Bradley put on an impressive show in his Ryder?Cup debut Friday, helping the U.S. salvage a 2-2 tie with Europe in the foursome matches. He made four big birdie putts, including a 15-footer to clinch his and Phil Mickelson's 4-and-3 upset of Sergio Garcia and Luke Donald. It was the Europeans' first loss in alternate-shot play; they had been 4-0 together, and Garcia had a career record of 8-0-1.

"He played some of the best golf and to be his partner was an awesome experience," Mickelson said. "I love, love playing with this man. He's just so fun, loves the game and plays with such excitement. And man, can he roll the rock."

As the winning putt rolled into the cup, Bradley let loose with a scream that could be heard all across Medinah while his caddie twirled the flag stick like a baton. Bradley pumped his fist, and he and Mickelson exchanged a hand slap and a hug.

Captain Davis Love III sent the duo out in the afternoon to face Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell, Europe's top team, in fourballs.

"You need momentum on your side and, unfortunately, we didn't have it today," Garcia said.

Neither did Woods and Steve Stricker, who were in trouble from the first tee and fell 2-and-1 to Ian Poulter and Justin Rose for their third straight loss in match play. The two had little time to dwell on the loss, however, facing Lee Westwood and Nicolas Colsaerts in the final afternoon match.

European captain Jose Maria Olazabal sent McIlroy, the world No. 1, and McDowell, who delivered the winning point two years ago, out first in hopes they would get Europe off to a quick start. His plan appeared to be working, as an unfavorable relief ruling on the second hole fired the Northern Irish duo up. Two holes later, McIlroy chipped in from behind the green for the first of four straight birdies.

The world No. 1 screamed and threw a roundhouse punch when the ball went in the cup, and slapped McDowell's hand so hard his friend will likely be feeling it the rest of the day.

They were 3 up through 12 holes and the momentum was infectious, with Europe leading all four matches at one point.

Bradley was rolling in one putt after another, and he and Mickelson won four straight holes to close out their match against Donald and Garcia.

"It was one of the most memorable days of my life so far," Bradley said.

Bradley and Mickelson's rally energized the Americans, and the blue numbers covering the scoreboard began to disappear. Jason Dufner evened his and Zach Johnson's match with Lee Westwood and Francesco Molinari with a 15-foot birdie putt on No. 9 that stopped a half-turn short of the hole. Dufner looked at it in astonishment, then gave a big smile when it dropped in a couple of seconds later.

He made a 10-footer on the next hole to take the lead, and he and Johnson went on to win 3 and 2.

McIlroy and McDowell, meanwhile, blew a chance to go 4 up when McDowell missed a 10-footer on the 12th hole. Jim Furyk and Brandt Snedeker then made birdies on Nos. 14, 15 and 16, erasing the Europeans' lead.

"We knew we just needed to hang in there and try and get something back," McIlroy said.

They caught a break when Snedeker's tee shot on 18 sailed so far right he had no idea where it went. Furyk missed a 20-footer for par by inches, and McDowell coolly put the Americans away with a 5-foot putt.

"That match to me personifies the Ryder?Cup," McDowell said.

Woods and Stricker had been 6-2-0 together in match play, and Love asked them to anchor the morning session. But they were in trouble right from the start, with Woods pushing two of his first three drives into the gallery and Stricker splashing his tee shot on No. 2. They struggled the entire afternoon, getting a break only because Rose and Poulter had some struggles of their own.

When Stricker's long birdie putt on 17 missed by about 4 feet, the Americans had to concede the match. The victory improved Poulter's Ryder?Cup record to 9-3-0.

"It was a tough go for both of us," Poulter said. "Tiger has had two of my three defeats, and I never wanted to have another one."

Students Use Engineering to Work Toward Sustainable Future

(NewsUSA) ? Although the change is gradual, the U.S. is gaining ground on a more sustainable future. Energy experts and environmentalists can argue it?s not occurring fast enough, but from transportation to engineering, improvements are being made.

The Prius is Toyota?s third most popular car. Each year brings a new round of hybrid vehicles, making over 30 different hybrid cars at the start of 2012.

Eco-friendly building options are becoming more affordable, and alternative fuels are being put to use. For instance, Green Mountain College in Vermont operates off a biomass plant that heats the entire campus using green woodchips, a local, renewable and sustainable fuel source.

More city engineers are adding bike lanes and wider streets as commuter biking grows in popularity. In fact, each year the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) holds a Human Powered Vehicle Challenge where top engineering students design sleek pedal-powered vehicles capable of road use.

By creating new prototypes for a road-friendly, human-powered vehicle, these engineering students are working toward a sustainable world. Eventually, many engineers think further developments in human-powered vehicles could lead to a transportation alternative that will reduce the consumption of traditional fuels.

According to a comparison calculation by Business Insider using data from Copenhagen?s huge cycling community, we would add $46 million to the economy if the same number of Americans biked to work.

The coming generations of engineers have a large burden on their shoulders to compete in the global market and thrive in a technology-driven workforce. Plus, demand for high-tech, high-wage engineering jobs is only growing.

A study by Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce noted that 8 million American jobs will require a degree in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by 2018. For aerospace, agricultural, mechanical, civil and electrical engineers, environmental protection and preservation are central to the job.

With each year?s human powered vehicle competition, ASME is grooming the next generation of engineers to be innovative, socially conscious and forward-thinking. For more information, visit www.asme.org

Does your culture allow for change?

Assessing Challenges and Priorities:?the first step of your transformation journey might just determine its destination.

How serious are you or your organization about changing your course, and how high are your odds at succeeding?? Our research shows that it is not the perfect idea or plan that will transform or turn around your business.? Otherwise we would not have met so many?bright executives who ?get? the scope of change needed and have inspired others with unconventional and far reaching visions of the future while continuing to run essentially conventional, product and provider-centric organizations. ??I have pondered this question for many years of research and client work with changing organizations.

For starters, I found that the biggest and most common mistake is to assume that when you find the right answers?business model, strategic plan, new products or latest software?the rest will somehow automatically?fall into place.? Not so.? The toughest struggle by far is in execution?whether the way that an organization thinks, learns, behaves and measures success embody the vision.? We have seen countless of smart leaders fail to move their organizations to an entirely new place in their markets because they rely on conventional processes and ways of thinking to execute new ideas and models. ??And your very first steps and decisions are critical determinants of the final results: how you assess challenges; frame, communicate and act on priorities.

It is not hard to detect the?strategic goals and priorities of associations that were the products of formal strategic planning and committee-led processes. In spite at how hard these associations work to make them fresh and unique, they sound remarkably similar and formulaic: support our mission; promote green architecture or chemistry, global health, and patient safety; increase professional development, and member engagement, etc.? They appear to function more like campaign themes than actionable business strategies. ?Why are they selected?

In conversations with executives, my question about how their priorities help solve member problems elicits blank looks and puzzled stares. Doesn?t everybody support green science and doesn?t every doctor want to save patients? lives?? True enough when we pick a favorite book or philanthropic cause but not when we invest in a service-based network to increase our career success.? I mean how often do doctors wake up agonizing over breakfast about how many patients they can keep alive by the end of the day??? They are much more likely to worry about problems that prevent them from practicing good medicine: broken practice models in their fields; hospital access; confusion over how healthcare reform impacts them; insurance restrictions & reimbursement, etc. ?Connecting priorities to customer value and results, and the organizational capabilities for executing and sustaining them, is what begins to convert wish- lists into actionable strategies.

Generic, ?feel good? goals and objectives or tactical, short-term priorities do not translate into staff motivation and new ways of thinking, developing products and doing business.? Most importantly, they do not translate into increased member value and, hence, retention and growth.? The association may look good to its board or selected constituencies but it continues to do ?business as usual.?

Dropping isolated, new elements in organizations whose cultures and practices are not set up to integrate and use them will not bring about new results. An executive recently told us that his staff discouraged him from reading posts, let alone participate, in their new online communities lest he be ?upset by critical comments about the association.?? Hey, why bother to learn what?s in your members? mind and how they think so you can understand how to best serve them?

In our research we group associations in two large categories on the basis of their actions, thoughts, culture and behavior: bureaucratic or supply-driven and entrepreneurial or demand-driven. How leaders think and frame challenges and priorities is the first of eight indicators of an organization?s real orientation and market ?personality? that we identified.

Bureaucratic, provider-centered organizations frame challenges and priorities from an inside-out perspective with criteria that include:

Board and association driven interests, priorities and decisions
?Hot,? current issues that they believe will increase member engagement and public visibility
Products and initiatives that will increase prestige and reputation while minimizing risk & change
Short-term fixes

Conversely, entrepreneurial, demand-centered organizations focus on priorities that are based on outside-in criteria that include:

Member needs and critical challenges and the types of solutions they need
The broader context of customers? economic and social environments
Opportunities for strategic innovation
Addressing the larger, underlying root causes for immediate crises and narrow or tactical problems
Building new, long-term organizational capabilities and strategic relationships that build sustainable competitive advantage into the future

Take a hard look at the challenges and priority goals you identify as the most critical for your organization or unit and put them through a reality test from the perspective of your customers:

Are you identifying the roots of the strategic challenges that hamper?your ability to deliver value to your members or simply secondary symptoms?
Why is this priority a priority?? On what basis?
What results do you want for your organization and members?
How did you decide on it?? Does it tie into your vision and strategic goals?
What does achieving this priority goal mean? What does success look like and how do you measure it?
Does this goal represent a priority for your members?? Where does it fit among their other priorities for addressing challenges? What specific problem does it solve for them and how?
How do you know whether or not this is a member priority? Have you interacted personally with members? Have you drawn them out to reveal the issues that keep them up at night, the kind of solutions they need, their criteria for value and priorities?
Do you know enough about the context for your members? answers?relationships, work environment, ways they solve problems and frame obstacles etc. to better interpret their answers and needs?
How will this strategic priority translate into practical value for members?? What will they be able to achieve that that they cannot presently achieve?
What processes, relationships, methods, leadership, competencies etc. do you need to put in place to begin turning this idea into reality?? (Do not fall back on established ways for doing things, like convening another committee).
How will members/customers be involved in the development process?
What needs to change or be developed in your organization to deliver the value you envisioned
What role do you need to assume as a leader to guide this process to results?

Now try re-framing your critical challenge as a business challenge and pick priority actions in a true discovery process leading to solutions.
