  • North Carolina Books
    EileenNorth McGrath, compilerCarolina Books End of Eden: Writings of an Environmental Activist Thomas Rain Crowe. Nicholasville, KY: Wind Publications, 2008. 171 pp. $16.00. ISBN 978-1-893239-80-7. Elise Anderson, Wake Forest University n western North Carolina, communities hundreds of years old are now under assault. Population growth exceeds the carrying capacity of the land and triggers permanent environmental degradation, while the influx of newcomers swamps local traditions, values, and Iadaptations to the surrounding ecosystems. Sound bad? It is, but End of Eden offers hope and illustrates a way to communicate effectively about the very real dangers that threaten the communities, human and natural, of the mountains of North Carolina. A poet and environmentalist, Thomas Rain Crowe is the author of twenty books, including Zoro: My Life in the Appalachian Woods and Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved: 100 Poems of Hafiz. His literary archives have been purchased by Duke University. The topics Crowe addresses in End of Eden are as varied as the mountains he calls home. Throughout the volume, artwork by Robert Johnson illustrates the beauty and biodiversity of western North Carolina. The first of the book’s three sections presents broader perspectives on the ecosystems, history, and cultures of the mountains. The second, a collection of articles and editorials, focuses on local issues and political responses. Crowe concludes with columns from the Smoky Mountain News that capture the vibrancy and promise of the Jackson County Farmer’s Market. The farmers market is one traditional organization that is getting much attention now as a sustainable solution to current economic and environmental problems.

  • 2018 MLS All-Star and Honduras International Alberth Elis
    MLS Interview: 2018 MLS All-Star and Honduras international Alberth Elis Author : Dean Perretta FOX Sports Radio 96.9 FM/1340 AM and FourFourTwo Magazine's Dean Perretta briefly caught up with 2018 MLS All-Star and Honduras international forward, Alberth Elis, of Houston Dynamo prior to Las Naranjas' game against Gregg Berhalter's Columbus Crew. The very dynamic and pacy 22-year-old Honduras international, who has scored 19 goals in 32 games for Houston Dynamo ever since his high-profile arrival from Liga MX giants C.F Monterrey, has also scored seven goals in 28 appearances for Los Catrachos. The immensely talented Houston Dynamo's 2018 MLS All-Star was largely instrumental in advancing Honduras to a 4th place finish in the Hex for the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018; thus securing Honduras an ever-pivotal inter-confederation playoff game against Bert van Marwijk's Australia. 1 / 3 Wilmer Cabrera's Houston Dynamo are currently 10th in the ever-competitive MLS Western Conference with Elis' spectacular goals and dazzling performances providing an influential bright spark for the MLS club throughout the current 2018 MLS Season.

    FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMICS Working Paper Series Working Paper No. 2018-10 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE Franziska Prockl May 2018 THE SUPERSTAR CODE - DECIPHERING KEY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEIR VALUE. Franziska Prockl Paderborn University, Management Department, Chair of Organizational, Media and Sports Economics, Warburger Str. 100, D-33098 Paderborn. May 2018 Working Paper ABSTRACT The purpose of the presented research is to advance the superstar literature on the aspect of superstar’s characteristics and value. Typically, superstar research is faced with one problem: They apply the same criteria to determine who their superstars are as to describe them later because they lack “an objective measure of star quality” (Krueger, 2005, p.18). To avoid this complication, the author chose to study Major League Soccer’s (MLS) designated players as this setting present a unique, as discrete, assignment of star status. MLS has formally introduced stars in 2007 under the designated player (DP) rule which delivers over 100 star-observations in the last ten years to investigate MLS strategy of star employment. The insights from this data set demonstrate which characteristics are relevant, whether MLS stars can be categorized as Rosen or Adler stars, and what the MLS pays for and in this sense values most. A cluster analysis discovers a sub group of ten stars that stand out from the others, in this sense superstars. A two-stage regression model confirms the value stemming from popularity, leadership qualities, previous playing level, age and national team experience but refutes other typical performance indicators like games played and goals scored or position.

  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.

  • Onside: a Reconsideration of Soccer's Cultural Future in the United States

Bowers, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology Elizabeth L. Keating, Ph.D. Department of Anthropology Throughout the course of the 20th century, professional sports have evolved to become a predominant aspect of many societies’ popular cultures. Though sports and related physical activities had existed long before 1900, the advent of industrial economies, specifically growing middle classes and ever-improving methods of communication in countries worldwide, have allowed sports to be played and followed by more people than ever before. As a result, certain games have captured the hearts and minds of so many people in such a way that a culture of following the particular sport has begun to be emphasized over the act of actually doing or performing the sport. One needs to look no further than the hours of football talk shows scheduled weekly on ESPN or the myriad of analytical articles published online and in newspapers daily for evidence of how following and talking about sports has taken on cultural priority over actually playing the sport. Defined as “hegemonic sports cultures” by University of Michigan sociologists Andrei Markovits and Steven Hellerman, these sports are the ones who dominate “a country’s emotional attachments rather than merely representing its callisthenic activities.” Soccer is the world’s game.
