This paper compares two methods of examining the entry choice of professional golfers, focusing on the size of the purse, the strength of the competition, and a newly constructed variable, the match of the player's skills with the skills rewarded at each tournament, while controlling for some dynamic factors such as year end pushes to cross relative earnings thresholds. Logit regressions are one method of examining the entry choice. A second method exploits combinatorial arithmetic. Choosing which n of N tournaments to play is equivalent to choosing n balls without replacement from an urn with N balls. The results show that golfers choose tournaments with higher purses, with a better skills match, and when the competition is fiercest.
It's hard to believe that almost 20 years have passed since the release of "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," the debut effort from hip-hop "supergroup" the Wu-Tang Clan. But then, that album's shadow looms so large over all that followed in the hip-hop and rap worlds that it seems fitting that the 1993 release is still cited as one of the most significant and influential rap platters this side of RUN DMC and Public Enemy. Conceived initially as a loose collective of MCs who would gather together beneath the Wu-Tang umbrella periodically, then scatter to pursue world dominance as solo artists, Wu-Tang today is widely considered one of the most successful brands in the history of hip- hop. That initial plan worked -- Wu-Tang members are by this point as widely hailed for their ...

SUHAIMI Fadzir, a kampong boy from Lenggong, Perak will have his solo art exhibition at the prestigious Schmidt Art Center (whose permanent art collection features works by Salvador Dali and Rembrandt among others) in the United States this October. Suhaimi, an architect and painter, tells Sharmila Valli Narayanan of his artistic journey and his efforts to make art more accessible to the rural folk in Malaysia. AS A KID, I grew up knowing nothing about art but in actuality, I was doing art without knowing it,' says Suhaimi Fadzir about his childhood in Kampung Gelok, near the small town of Lenggong, Perak. Lenggong is famous for its discovery of the Perak Man. `When I was three or four years old, other kids and I would take charcoal and draw pictures in the caves. We also made our own t...

But the Junior Blues enter the 2011-2012 season with the same expectations they always have, to be a contender in the Centennial League and 6A.
I crave trees, especially now that I live in part of the county where they don't grow naturally. Instead, we have sagebrush and the occasional pinn. I've planted trees near our house, but it is unlikely in my lifetime that they will be the giants I want. So, whenever I travel I seek out trees. Big trees. Old trees. They could be planted on a college campus or they could grow naturally like the ancient redwoods of Muir Woods in Northern California. Last month, when we visited our eldest daughter in Gainesville, Fla., we hiked Paynes Prairie, a state preserve containing live oak, sweet gum, hickory, palm, magnolia and holly trees. Armadillos rooted in the underbrush. When we were back east last summer, Hank and I returned to a favorite grove of trees at the William Cullen Bryant Homestead...
