Inventor Ed Hammer, who works for IdeaStar client TCP Inc., the leading manufacturer of compact fluorescent lighting, was recently featured on The Consumer Reports blog in the 10 Questions For… column.  The bimonthly feature presents ten questions to a person of importance.

As the father of the compact fluorescent light bulb, Ed has some interesting points to make. His original bulb is in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.  If you are ever there, stop in and take a look.

IdeaStar is always amazed at the interesting people we work with.  Learn more about Ed and compact fluorescent lighting at his blog, Drop the Hammer.

On Sunday Sept 7 Becky Lovejoy and Whitney Zunic participated in the 9th Annual Cleveland Clinic Sports Health River Run. Their team, Running for Cookies, participated in the half marathon relay, with Whitney running the first part of the relay of 5.8 miles, and Becky meeting up with her at the exchange point to run the last part of 7.3 miles.

This was their first attempt at a half-marathon relay, and despite the rain it was a very enjoyable experience for them both! Their next adventure is the 17th Annual Towpath Marathon, Half & 10k on October 12, where they will both be participating in the 10k. There is still time to register if you are interested in running as well!
