	William Harrison Riker, September 22, 1920–June 26, 1993 \| By Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Kenneth Shepsle \| ...
		Riker's theory of political behavior marked a sharp departure from standard political science views and an equally sharp departure from views standard in economics.
		Riker was elected to the American Academy of the Arts and Sciences in 1975 and in 1983 was chosen to serve as president of the American Political Science Association.
		Riker, however, drew attention to the significance of the proactive role of politicians in structuring the environment in which preferences are coordinated into a collective outcome.

		Riker was in charge of feeding Spot while Data was away at a conference in late 2369, and was scratched on the forehead as he attempted to set down a bowl of food.

	William Riker published on federalism over a long period starting with his 1955 APSR article 'The Senate and American ...
		Riker's alternative is, of course, to characterize federalism as a rational bargain between prospective national leaders and officials of constituent governments who come together for the purpose of creating a larger territory so as better to facilitate the levying of taxes and the raising of armies (Riker 1964, Chapter 1).
		Riker made two bold claims: that Australian federation was precipitated by German, French and Japanese imperialism in East Asia and the Pacific, and that because these threats were relatively weak, it was necessary only to create a relatively peripheralized federation that reflected the strength of provincial as opposed to national loyalties.
		Riker was also over eager to include in his federal taxonomy all those states that were labeled federal and had come into being in the context of external threat, even when, as in the case of India they failed to meet the conditions of his own definition of federalism.

	Greg & Janis Riker Residence
		For Riker, locating loudspeakers that were capable of meeting the demands of everything from background and live music to boardroom presentations was difficult enough without having to find something that could be concealed unnoticeably within the decor too.
		The 16 audio zones Riker created are all served by the flat-panel Sound Advance speakers with the exception of a few areas that were so small the devices couldn't be employed.
		Representing an ideal audio source for parties hosted by Riker and his wife, live performances are typically mixed and distributed by a Mackie d8b 24-track digital console in the downstairs recording studio.

	Thomas Riker - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		Thomas Riker was an accidental transporter duplicate of William T. Riker; in essence, Thomas was an exact clone of William with personality and memories diverging due to different life experiences from the point of the duplication.
		During Riker's transport from the planet's surface, a second confinement beam was initiated to overcome these difficulties, with the intent of reintegrating the two beams in the transporter buffer prior to rematerialization on the ship.
		In contrast, the Riker that beamed off-planet eight years prior was soon promoted and made his career a priority over their relationship, and never made the trip to Risa with Deanna.

	EconLog, Riker and the Mathematician's Fallacy, Bryan Caplan: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Background: Riker is deeply impressed by the literature on social intransitivity.
		But Riker seems to have almost no interest in empirical public opinion research (much of which has subsequently found that, contrary to Riker's fears, political opinion is roughly one-dimensional).
		Riker, by addressing the social choice problem, is implying multidimensionality, which does make intentions impossible to determine.

	STARTREK.COM : Biography
		Riker finished eighth in his graduating class; one fellow cadet was Paul Rice, who would later fall victim to the computer weapons systems on planet Minos.
		Although Riker has displayed a well-rounded personality and temperament throughout his rising command career, his mother's death when he was only 2 helped foster an acrimonious 15-year separation from his father Kyle Riker at age 15, when he left home.
		On a personal level, I was heartened to find Riker commanding the refit Enterprise as captain in 20 years, but disturbed to discover that he and my chief security officer Worf had clashed over their affections for Deanna Troi along the future timeline shown to me by the Q entity in late 2370.

	Riker's Island; New York Neighborhood \| Sprol
		Over the past 60 years, Riker's has expanded from its original 90 acres to its present 400 (with the help of landfill), and in the past 20, its complex of various detention centers has grown from 6 to 10.
		By 2000, the number of stabbings on Riker's had been cut by some 93%, in part thanks to the model of corporate accountability espoused by former commissioner for the NYC Department of Correction Bernard Kerik that tightened regulations for inmates and guards alike.
		Most of Riker's inmates are not destined to live the simple, idyllic life of a gardener, however: the prison cell door is a revolving one.
