  • 2006 TRASH Regionals Round 15 Bonuses
    2006 TRASH Regionals Round 15 Bonuses 1. Ever wonder how some ice cream flavors or treats came about? Given a description of the origins of a type of ice cream or ice cream treats, name it for 10 points each. (a) In addition to describing the ice cream’s texture, this flavor, allegedly invented in 1929 by William Dreyer, accurately depicts the paths of many Americans during the Great Depression. Answer: rocky road (b) This flavor, a version of spumoni, was popular in Europe in the early 19th century, and was likely introduced to the US in the 1870s where it took on the tripartite form we know now. Answer: Neapolitan (c) An entrepreneur in Boston; David Strickler in Latrobe, Pennsylvania; and Ernest Hazard of Wilmington, Ohio, all claim its invention around the turn of the century, but there is little doubt that it was popularized by Walgreen’s, who made it their signature dish. Answer: banana split 2. Hello, Cleveland! The Browns were one of the busiest shoppers this offseason. Name these newest members of the Dawg Pound, for ten points each. (a) Cleveland’s biggest pickup on defense was this longtime Patriots linebacker who is now reunited with current Browns head coach and former New England defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel. Answer: Willie McGinest (b) The Browns also beefed up the offensive line by signing this Saints All-Pro center and former star lineman at Ohio State. Answer: LeCharles Bentley (c) Cleveland got some additional receiving help by signing this former Penn State receiver who led the Seahawks with 10 touchdown catches last season.

  • Microfilmed - 1064 Information to Users
    MICROFILMED - 1064 INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they ari spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note wfll appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—bepnning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

Copeland Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c4959 Chapter pages in book: (p. 321 - 424) CHAPTER V MARKETING MELVIN T. COPELAND In the marketing field, the changes which have occurred since 1922 have been fully as notable as the changes in most other types of business activity, and of as great significance to the community.In order to keep the subject within manageable proportions for this survey, the .topics selected for concentrated study, on the ground that they are of particular significance or of especial interest, are as follows: changes in demand, changes in retail trading areas, hand-to-mouth buying, changes in dis- tribution, co-operative marketing, installment selling, and advertising. As the facts brought out in the analyses of these various topics will show, there have been numerous cross-currents and counter-currents among the marketing influences at work.While these conflicting influ- ences have benefited some industries and trades, they have reacted adversely upon other types of business.The purpose of this chapter is to show, so far as possible, the changes that have occurred and their relation to the general economic structure of the country.
