TME, vol. 18, nos. 1&2, p. 331 DanceSport and Power Values Diana Cheng Towson University, USA Peter Coughlin University of Maryland, USA ABSTRACT: DanceSport is a competitive form of ballroom dancing. At a DanceSport event, couples perform multiple dances in front of judges. This paper shows how a goal for a couple and the judges' eval- uations of the couple's dance performances can be used to formulate a weighted simple game. We explain why couples and their coaches may consider a variety of goals. We also show how prominent power values can be used to measure the contributions of dance performances to achieving certain goals. As part of our analysis, we develop novel visual representations of the Banzhaf and Shapley-Shubik index profiles for different thresholds. In addition, we show that the \quota paradox" is relevant for DanceSport events.

Cast of iron in Birmingham, Vulcan served as the Birmingham and Alabama exhibit for the St. Louis World’s Fair. As god of the forge, he holds a spearpoint he has just made on his anvil. The spearpoint is of polished steel. In a gesture of triumph, the colossal smith extends his arm upward. About his feet, piles of mineral resources extol Alabama’s mineral wealth and its capability of making colossal quantities of iron, such as that showcased in the statue, and of steel (as demonstrated with the spearpoint).
