Abstract: This article begins by clarifying and defining field and habitus (1) anchoring these concepts in a tradition drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, but also underlining the extent to which the concepts have been used beyond this tradition (2). The article then proceeds to discuss the use of field and habitus in international studies (3). It points out that field and habitus can be (and has long been) used for empirical studies linking the national, the international and the transnational. However, the concepts were imported into scholarly IR/IPE disciplines proper as part of the theoretical discussions surrounding the reflectivist turn. At present, field and habitus are often used to transcend the key divides (inside/outside and public/private) rather than to study relations across them. Finally, the article concludes on the avenues for further research using field and habitus in international studies, insisting on the scope for enhancing and clarifying the heuristic value of the concepts (4).

How Organizational Design Can Make Delegation CredibleFoss, Kirsten; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Credible delegation of discretion obtains when it is a rational strategy for managers not to overrule employee decisions that are based on delegated decision rights or renege on the level of delegated discretion (and this is common knowledge). Making delegation of discretion credible becomes a crucial issue when organizations want to sustain the advantages that may flow from delegation: Such advantages are dependent on motivated employees, and managerial overruling or reneging is harmful to motivation. However, little work has been done on how organizations can make delegation credible. We argue that key elements of organizations (i.e., organizational structure, coordination mechanisms, reward structures, and interdependencies between activities) and how these fit influence the credibility of delegation. Fit configurations of organizational elements reduce the probability of managerial intervention that may harm employee motivation. This introduces a neglected incentive dimension to the organizational design literature. Moreover, it is argued that harmful intervention may be reduced by increasing managers' costs of intervening. Refutable propositions are derived. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7427

Højbjerg Jacobsen, Rasmus (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: When a policy maker or an administrator decides on how many and which of a number of proposed policy measures to implement an important piece of information is whether the effort is "worthwhile". The precise meaning of the word "worthwhile" will depend on the context. In some cases, the question of whether a policy measure is worthwhile will be decided on a purely qualitative basis given the results of the policy measure. In other – and perhaps most – cases some sort of money evaluation will be attached to the results, and a total effect in money terms will be used to evaluate the results. This manual is concerned with the latter case. Given the large degree of competition between various projects for public funds, a compelling case for a specific project can be made if a well carried out cost-benefit-analysis shows a resulting surplus. While this criterion is obviously not the only one used, it could be an important factor when preparing policy makers to make decisions about a specific project. The basic idea behind cost-benefit-analysis is simple: calculate all benefits and all the costs associated with a specific effort, subtract the costs from the benefits while carefully addressing the time profile, and use the resulting number as an indicator for the economic profitability of the project. If the result is positive, the project produces an economic surplus, and if it is negative the project leads to an economic loss. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8878

Abstract: Denne afhandling handler om usikkerhed i projekter. I tre afgrænsede forskningsartikler analyserer afhandlingen, hvordan usikkerhed håndteres af projektledelsen i tre konkrete projekter. Udgangspunktet er en teoretisk fremstilling af usikkerhed, hvor især usikkerhedens sociale dimension, forstået som den meningsskabelse der foregår gennem projektdeltagernes handlinger og fortolkninger, er i fokus. Usikkerheden undersøges når den kommer til udtryk i de generelle betingelser for projektet, og i de konkrete uventede begivenheder, der opstår i projektet undervejs...

a case study of the implementation of the EU eigth directive in Denmark 1984-2003Loft, Anne; Jeppesen, Kim K. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyses the complex process through which EU's Eighth Company Law Directive on the qualification of statutory auditors (1984) was implemented in Denmark. The Directive envisaged one group of 'statutory auditors' in each member state. However, in Denmark there were two groups of auditors: the state authorised auditors who had a long education and high status, and the registered auditors who had a shorter education, lower status and whose clients were mainly medium and small sized businesses. An exemption was made in the Directive to allow the registered auditors to continue to audit despite that they did not have the required 'university level' education. This made the issue of education central to the long-term survival of the registered auditors and it consequently became the object of a long conflict between the parties with an interest in auditor education and qualifications: the profession, the state and the educational institutions. This case illustrates the processes of audit regulation in a small European state with a highly developed economy where auditors are approved and regulated by the state but through processes heavily influenced by the profession. It provides an interesting contrast to other studies carried out on the implementation of this Directive, e.g. in the UK (Cooper et al, 1996) and in Greece (Caramanis, 1999), and perhaps some insight into the difficulties which may be encountered in implementing the new Eighth Directive proposed by the Commission in May 2003.

Abstract: Siden offentliggørelsen af "Effekter & virkningsgrader af markedsføring – Case studie af tilbudsaviser i detailhandlen"1 har der været en heftig debat om tilbudsaviserne eller tilskudsaviserne, som de måske rettelig burde hedde. Den oprindelige bevæggrund var en forundring over et øget forbrug af tilbudsaviser/ markedsføring, sammenholdt med en faldende virkningsgrad af effekten. Dette indikerede en "kompetencefælde" som identificeret i en tidligere analyse (Analysen om Performance management & marketing2) Hurtigt vidste det sig, at vi havde stukket næsenind i kompleks problemstilling, der i høj grad handlende om en magtbalance mellem detailhandlerne og deres leverandører- og et samlet markedsførings- og rabattilskud på mere en 12 milliarder kr. i dagligvarebranchen3. Det svarer til ca. 12 % af forbrugerprisen når beløbet sammenholdes med den totale omsætning af dagligvarer i Danmark. Omdrejningspunktet for dette var, og er, tilbudsaviserne. Analyserne indikerede klart, at der var tale om en "pengemaskine" for supermarkedskæderne. Derfor mente vi, at "tilskudsaviser" er en mere præcis betegnelse. Dette bliver yderligere forstærket, da andre analyser viste at det kun var 38 % af produkterne4, der var reelle tilbud i de såkaldte tilbudsaviser. Antal sider samt oplag er imidlertid det som driver tilskuddene. Derfor oplevede vi også supermarkeder der udgav op til 140 sider i en avis hver uge! I 2012 kom Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsenrapport5. Den konkluderede at priserne på dagligvarer i Danmark er ca. 4-6 pct. højere end gennemsnittet af syv EU lande (Belgien, Danmark, Finland, Frankrig, Italien, Holland og Tyskland). Dette vel at mærke når der var korrigeret for moms og afgifter, samt taget en skønsmæssig højde for den høje danske velstand, og at flere varer sælges på kampagne i Danmark, end i de øvrige lande Efterårets (2012) årsaftaleforhandlinger mellem industrien og supermarkeder trak store overskifter i pressen. I debatten blev der sagt ord som kan komme ind under begrebet "Mafiametoder". Den nye erhvervs- og vækstminister Annette Vilhelmsen udtalte, at hun var klar til et opgør med branchen6. Ultimo 2012 kom data fra Danmarks Statistik7, der konkluderede, at selv når man renser for den danske moms og afgifter, så betaler danskerne stadig 13 % mere for varerne end gennemsnittet i ni EU-lande, der er sammenlignet med. Spørgsmålet er så bare om tilbudsavisen har en fremtid i dens nuværende form – Det vil vi godt komme med vores bud på, baseret på udviklingen i markedet og ikke mindst med udgangspunkt i forbrugernes holdninger til at modtage tilbudsaviser i postkassen.

A strategy-as-practice PerspectiveBorgström, Benedikte; Gammelgaard, Britta (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: Road transport is a dynamic sector with market changes because of liberalization and increasing demand of transport and logistics services. Shippers' supply chain objectives of low costs and agility and a demanding operating environment due to, for example, congestion is challenging. Haulier competitiveness, however, resides in knowledge, technology and networks so the purpose of this study is to develop a conceptualisation of how these capabilities are deployed and make up effective value propositions for customers. Design/methodology/approach: Two case studies of value proposition development are analysed for objectives of strategic development. Findings: Haulier competitiveness is not a static but a result of resource deployment. From the strategy-as-practice perspective collaborators' and customers' resources are considered potentials for emergent strategies and learning for value-creation. Research limitations/implications: The usefulness of the conceptual apparatus lies in understanding strategic development as a result of capability deployment rather than managerial decision making per se. Practical implications: Both hauliers and shippers are able to improve value creation from increased understanding of capability deployment. Original/value: This research shows that innovation of transport companies' (hauliers' and other types of logistics providers') value propositions drives competitiveness. The strategy-as-practice approach is applied as the theoretical lens for understanding and developing strategic outcomes of transport and logistics provision and supply chain value creation.

Abstract: We briefly survey Hayek's work and argue for its increasing relevance for organizational scholars. Hayek's work inspired aspects of the transaction cost approach to the firm as well as knowledge management and knowledge-based view of the firm. But Hayek is usually seen within organizational scholarship as a narrow, technical economist. We hope to change that perception here by pointing to his work on rules, evolution, entrepreneurship and other aspects of his wide-ranging oeuvre with substantive implications for organizational theory.

Foss, Kirsten; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In his seminal 1945 essay Hayek argued that the dispersed nature of much commercially relevant knowledge places strong constraints on the feasibility of centralized allocation and coordination mechanisms, but that there remains a problem of making efficient use of such knowledge (the first Hayekian knowledge problem). He realized that firms, because they make use of authority, are also challenged by dispersed knowledge, and his emphasis on delegation as a response to dispersed knowledge may lead to the prediction that (large) firms shouldn't exist. Yet (large) firms obviously do exist (the second Hayekian knowledge problem). Recently, many management and organizational scholars have echoed Hayek's argument that centralized coordination mechanisms, such as authority, may fail in the presence of dispersed knowledge. We examine these modern arguments and argue that they rest on shaky foundations: dispersed knowledge is a less strong constraint on authority than is often thought. We examine the wider implications of this for knowledge-based arguments in management and organizational theory, and call for more research into the micro-foundations of such arguments.

Abstract: This paper shows how improved health conditions aect fertility decisions and economic growth. Survival rates for children and adults are incorporated into an overlapping generations model featuring endogenous fertility and altruism from workers towards their retired parents. The main nding is that a simultaneous increase in child and adult survival decreases fertility and increases savings and productivity growth. The analysis illustrates the key role of health in the demographic transition. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7695

An Empirically Based Research Method for Identification and Measurement Using Patent DataDahlgren, Henrich; Lund Jensen, Rasmus; Valentin, Finn (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper deals with methodological issues of assessing the composition and level of heterogeneity of firms' intellectual assets. It develops an original metric - referred to as the H-index - for measuring heterogeneity using data extracted from patent documents. The main purpose is to improve the characterisation of research activities within firms in the biotechnology sector. Although the H-index grew out of research on biotech firms, the metric carries broader relevance for all patent-intensive industries. The measurement and calculation of the H-index is illustrated using some empirical examples from our preliminary study on Scandinavian biotech firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6772

Implications of Strategic Management TheoryAgarwal, Rajshree; Barney, Jay B.; Foss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Macroeconomic theory assumes that factors of production in the economy are homogeneous and fungible. As a result, it may be ill-suited for developing policy responses to the recent financial crisis. Theories of strategic management and organization, with their emphasis on heterogeneously distributed resources and capabilities, may be better positioned. Examples of where macroeconomic theory may lead policies astray, and where theories of strategic management may be more appropriate, are provided. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7906

Abstract: (1) The essence of Yin-Yang is that yin and yang are contrary yet complementary. 阴阳的本质是阴阳是相生相克的关系。 (2) This contrary yet complementary relationship can be described by three characteristics of Yin-Yang: nonexclusivability, transformability, and coopetitionability. Nonexclusivability means that anything contains yin and yang elements and neither yin nor yang elements can be excluded because within both elements there is a seed of the opposite element. Due to the existence of a seed of the opposite element, the yin and yang elements can be mutually transformed when the opposite seed grow to a certain size. Due to this possible growth of the inside opposite element, the relationship between yin and yang and their inside opposite element is one of competition and cooperation, i.e. coopetition. When the configuration ratio of an element's opposite seed is within the range of 1% to 25%1, their relationship is more co-operative than competitive, and therefore there is more synergy than tradeoff between them. The closer the ratio is to 25%, the stronger the synergy. When the ratio is within the range of 25% to 49%, their relationship is more competitive than cooperative, and therefore there is more tradeoff than synergy between them. The closer the ratio is to 49%, the stronger the tradeoff. 阴阳的相生相克关系可以描述为三个特性:不可排除性、相互转化性、竞 争合作性。不可排除性是指任何事物都包含阴阳两个对立元素,二者之任 何一个均不可能被排除在我,这是因为在阴或阳元素内部天然的包含着对 立元素的种子。正是因为这个种子的天然存在,阴和阳元素可以互相转 化,这种转化发生在对立元素种子成长到一定程度的时候。正是由于这种 对立元素的成长可能性,阴或阳元素和它内部的对立元素之间的关系是既 竞争又合作的。当内部的对立元素占总体元素的力量比例在1%到25%之 间时,两者的关系是合作多于竞争,越靠近25%这个点,这种合作的协同 效果也强烈。当这个搭配比例处于25%到49%之间时,它们的关系将是 竞争多于合作,也就是他们更多互相排斥而非互相促进。当这个比例越靠 近49%,这种排斥效应越强烈。 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8891

Buch-Kromann, Matthias; Haulrich, Martin (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We propose a novel machine learning technique that can be used to estimate probability distributions for categorical random variables that are equipped with a natural set of classification hierarchies, such as words equipped with word class hierarchies, wordnet hierarchies, and suffix and affix hierarchies. We evaluate the estimator on bigram language modelling with a hierarchy based on word suffixes, using English, Danish, and Finnish data from the Europarl corpus with training sets of up to 1–1.5 million words. The results show that the proposed estimator outperforms modified Kneser-Ney smoothing in terms of perplexity on unseen data. This suggests that important information is hidden in the classification hierarchies that we routinely use in computational linguistics, but that we are unable to utilize this information fully because our current statistical techniques are either based on simple counting models or designed for sample spaces with a distance metric, rather than sample spaces with a non-metric topology given by a classification hierarchy.

Raahauge, Peter (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Kinks and jumps in the payoff function of option contracts prevent an effective implementation of higher-order numerical approximation methods. Moreover, the derivatives (the greeks) are not easily determined around such singularities, even with standard lower-order methods. This paper suggests a transformation to turn the original ill-conditioned pricing problem into a well-behaved numerical problem. For a standard test case, both vanilla- and binary call price functions are approximated with (tensor) B-splines of up to 10'th order. Polynomial convergence rates of orders up to approximately 10 are obtained for prices as well as for first and second order derivatives (delta and gamma). Unlike similar studies, numerical approximation errors are measured both as weighted averages and in the supnorm over a state space including time-to-maturities down to a split second.

Watch One Direction in 10 Most Fascinating People of 2012 Preview
Barbara Walters talked to the boys of One Direction as part of their inclusion in her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2012 list and they revealed the one thing they will never get used to as their fame reaches stratospheric levels.
Babs asks them the boys if they are used to the shrieking of the fans, who obsessively follow them and chase them down streets and in public, often at a danger to themselves.
Adorbs blond singer Niall Horan explained that you never get used to it. He said, "We were heading out to go to a concert and we turned a corner from our hotel and the girls started running down the main avenue, like a zombie movie. How can you get used to this, watching people running down a main street with cars everywhere? You can never get used to it."
Aw, Niall worries about Directioner safety. He doesn't want fans to get hit by cars while running recklessly to try and get closer to the band.
Harry Styles said that it still blows his mind. "To think we are some people's favorite band is insane," he said, without an ounce of pretense. He also says he wouldn't camp out for days to see his favorite band, but loves that the Directioners do that very thing.
The Barbara Walters special honoring the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2012 airs at 9:30PM ET on ABC on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Hi all,
Cant we use System.out.println within class scope ? Like the one shown below:
class A{ int a=1; System.out.println(" a is " +a); //giving error ... understandable System.out.println(); // but why error for this..? void cal(){ int b=2; System.out.println(" b is " +b); //working fine } } public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { A a =new A(); a.cal(); } }
Why doesn't java allow this? I mean Should i explicitly write a method to display the value of variables of a particular class? OR Do it this way which is as told in java in main()
A a = new A();
System.out.println("a is " +a.a);

Some I like so far:
"Dad, where's the pump ? Aahh, forget it, I'll get you a new bike!"
"MY BIKE!! THERE IT IS! … you know … over by the wall."
"To recognize you have a problem is the first step."
One I came up with:
"Listen honey, some people have a lot of cars…you need a Range Rover, a Ferrari and a Ford Escort. I need a bike for all kinds of situations."
A few from the urbanvelo comments:
"What if you crossed Lance Armstrong with a cat lady?"
"Joe learned that yelling "party at my place†during critical mass is a bad idea."
"Okay … Off the roof, onto the trampoline and into the pool … make it, and you win the lot … Miss it, and your bike goes with the others … who also tried … and failed!!!â€

- 1 large or 2 small leeks, about 1 pound
- 2 bay leaves
- 20 black peppercorns
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 strips bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 5 cups chicken stock
- 1 to 1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, diced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup creme fraiche or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons snipped chives
- Trim the green portions of the leek and, using 2 of the largest and longest leaves, make a bouquet garni by folding the 2 leaves around the bay leaves, peppercorns and thyme. Tie into a package-shaped bundle with kitchen twine and set aside. (Alternately, tie 2 leek leaves, bay leaves, peppercorns and thyme together in a piece of cheesecloth.) Using a sharp knife, halve the white part of the leek lengthwise and rinse well under cold running water to rid the leek of any sand. Slice thinly crosswise and set aside. In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the bacon. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is very soft and has rendered most of its fat. Add the chopped leeks and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the reserved bouquet garni, chicken stock, potatoes, salt and white pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are falling apart and the soup is very flavorful. Remove the bouquet garni and, working in batches, puree the soup in a food processor or blender. (Alternately, if you own an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot.) Stir in the creme fraiche and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately, with some of the snipped chives sprinkled over the top of each bowl of soup.

My Vehicle Inspection certificate from another state is expiring while I am in Texas. What process do I follow to remain compliant?
You may obtain an inspection certificate by presenting your vehicle for inspection at a local inspection station. Texas has both a safety inspection program and an emissions (I/M) program. If you present your vehicle for inspection in one of the emissions counties it will receive a safety & emissions test. You may request an emission only test if your state only requires an emission inspection.
Generally, states honor the laws of other states, and there are even reciprocal agreements, where this state honors other states laws as their own.
Your vehicle does not have to be registered in Texas in order to be inspected; you do, however, have to show proof of financial responsibility.
My home state requires an emission test
Emission inspections are only available in counties participating in the emissions (I/M) program: Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, El Paso, Travis, and Williamson.

(June 3, 2004, Washington, DC) - FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor has refused Media Matters for America's request for time on the broadcast to discuss attacks on philanthropist George Soros by host Bill O'Reilly and by O'Reilly's guest Richard Poe, a contributing editor of the right-wing magazine NewsMax.
Poe appeared on the May 18 edition of The O'Reilly Factor to promote his NewsMax article "George Soros' Coup." Media Matters for America has issued an analysis of the Poe article, detailing factual errors and misrepresentations (05/19/04).
On May 19, Media Matters for America President and CEO David Brock wrote to O'Reilly asking for time on the broadcast to debate the anti-Soros attacks. On June 1, O'Reilly's producer denied the request, suggesting O'Reilly was no longer pursuing the subject. Yet on the June 1 broadcast of The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, O'Reilly spent nearly half his show attacking Soros; and on the June 1 O'Reilly Factor TV broadcast, O'Reilly featured unrebutted attacks on Soros by FOX News contributor Newt Gingrich.
On the June 1 editions of both The Radio Factor and FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly distorted a quotation from a 1995 profile of Soros in The New Yorker to make it seem as if Soros wished his own father dead (for more information, see www.mediamatters.org). O'Reilly also said, during his radio broadcast, that Senator John Kerry's acceptance of presidential campaign support from Soros "would be like having some militia group funding the Bush campaign."
Later on the June 1 radio broadcast, following a discussion during which he and a guest attacked Soros, O'Reilly said, "I mean, we really can't get anybody in here [to defend Soros] that's not a raving, raving Far-Left person and why we would want to do that, I don't know. You got a whole network to listen to on that."
"It is hardly 'Fair and Balanced' for The O'Reilly Factor to continue to attack Mr. Soros with no opposing viewpoint, especially after they told Media Matters for America that they would no longer be discussing Mr. Soros," Media Matters for America President and CEO David Brock said today. "Media Matters for America's analysis of the Poe story on George Soros finds factual errors and inaccuracies that should be explored on The O'Reilly Factor. We hope Mr. O'Reilly finds the time on his show to discuss this story from all sides."

On prominent display at the Global Green Oscar party last week was a sign-up station for Global Green's new e-activism campaign. Their goal is to get people to spread the word about the earth's three greatest challenges:
- stemming CO2 emissions and global warming
- destroying weapons of mass-destruction
providing safe drinking water to 1.5 billion people
I asked the guy at Global Green booth, and he didn't seem to have the slightest idea, so I wonder if Global Green needs some help defining "activism." They encourage everyone to take 10 steps to reduce their carbon footprint (pretty much the same 10 you have heard everywhere). That's not activism.
You can get emails about the amazing aerial artwork of John Quigley (one example pictured above shot by Orlando Bloom's cousin, Sebastian Copeland) who draws environmental slogans using human bodies in symbolically charged places (like the Amazon, the Arctic and rumor has it in a major event in D.C. soon). I believe Quigley and his gang are most certainly activists, risking arrest and frostbite. But watching them on video? Not activism.
If you look at the three points above, it strikes me that maybe we need more focus here. WMD's — are you kidding? Like we as individuals will ever have a face-off with the industrial-military complex and hope to make event the slightest dent in that steel clad time bomb. Even Gorbochav, one of the founders of Global Green, didn't make great headway. Not activism.
Safe drinking water ... well Charity:water is totally killing that one. They have succeeded in bringing clean drinking water to almost a million people in just a couple of years through innovative viral campaigns. Read my post here. So just talking about the plight of people without water seems mute when a hardcore team of activists is already out there doing something about it.
Global Warming. Do we really need to raise MORE awareness about global warming? I think we've all pretty much bought in. So I don't really think telling my friends (again) about the latest doom and gloom prediction is really go to help anything. Not activism.
So Global Green, what do you want me to do as an e-activist? How can I help? Other than joining your email list.

It was a difficult story to miss this week: Real Madrid signed 7-year-old Argentine soccer prodigy Leonel Angel Coira to a one-year contract to play with its youth club. You know you've got deep scouting when you're discovering standout second graders.
But, it got me thinking, who is the youngest player ever signed by the Colorado Rapids?
Thanks to some fine work by the Rapids' media relations staff, we have the answer.
Twelve years ago this week, on August 17, 1999, the Rapids acquired Seth Trembly of Arapahoe High School at the ripe old age of 17.

Dennis Miranda, 51, a passionate conservationist, avid birder and trail expert with a broad grasp of environmental issues, was hired as the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association's (WVWA) Executive Director last month with a goal to "ramp up appreciation" in terms of programs and projects and have people feel great in the nature that surrounds them.
"This association is a well positioned organization that continues its efforts of preserving the water quality of the creek, preserving open space, protecting natural resources and preserving those values."
Dennis insists that Philadelphia is a leader in this nation when it comes to preserving open space and maintaining its park system. "It is an area beloved by the community. Whether you are a passive recreationist or an active recreationist, you are in an area that has a great tradition."
Since 1957, WVWA has been protecting the local environment in the 64 square miles of the Wissahickon Creek's watershed. They protect over 1,200 acres of natural open space in Montgomery County. Their Camp Woods (they refer to it as New Old Grove) is a typical example of preserving an open space. The forest at that location has a 150-year-old minimum average for each tree.
Its beech and oak trees haven't been harmed since the Battle of Germantown in 1777, and according to Dennis, the entire forest landscape looks pretty much as it did before Columbus's arrival in the New World. "Our greatest challenge is to help find ways to regenerate the forest…The park-like feel of the forest is not a true forest until we restore the understory, and that is something we are wrestling with now," he said.
Dennis' life as a conservationist began June 5, 1984. He took out a map while volunteering at the Newark Watershed in North Jersey. His job was to preserve open space in the highlands of New Jersey. That particular effort led to Dennis' being hired as the New Jersey Conservation Foundation's first Urban Parks Project Manager. He was there for 10 years and was able to develop the necessary skills to undertake environmental challenges on both a suburban and urban landscape.
"We're still trying to preserve our natural functioning ecosystems," he said. "We don't have much open space or wild lands left … People like to live where they can see nature and enjoy nature. Unfortunately though, in urban, suburban landscapes, we have very little of it left."
Dennis was in Gainesville, Florida as Executive Director of the Florida Trail Association before he accepted his new position at Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association. Though it was a transition leaving 80-degree weather to come north to a colder climate, Dennis is comfortable with the Mid-Atlantic region due to his northern New Jersey roots. He was also an Executive Director for the Rahway River Association in Northern New Jersey between 2004 and 2010.
When it comes to learning more about nature within the Philadelphia area, Dennis suggested participating in programs by Friends of the Wissahickon, which organizes many interpretive walks and nature talks. "These (park) areas anchor the community, help stabilize property values and continue providing the magnet for business because people want to live here," he said. "It's a quality of life issue."
While Dennis grew up in North Jersey, he would go hiking and bird watching in the New Jersey Meadowlands. When he got his first car, he went to the New Jersey Highlands. Wherever he moved, he would always have to find the wilderness. "I go to the Adirondacks. I go to Maine. I've traveled down the states … Increasingly with more people living in urban and rural areas, we lose our touch with nature. Yet without nature we can't survive or thrive. My most passionate challenge is to involve families and kids in appreciating and becoming aware in embracing our natural heritage."
Dennis graduated from St. Peter's College, majoring in Political Science and History. His hobbies include bird watching, hiking, butterfly watching, mountain biking and gardening. His wife is named Martha; they have a son, Pedro, a sixth grade honor roll student, and a daughter, Ariana, who is studying astrobiology at the University of Florida. The family will soon be moving here and living in Wyndmoor.
The Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association is headquartered at 12 Morris Rd. in Ambler. More information at www.wvwa.org or 215-646-8866.

College professor pranked by pregnancy test
Is this the best classroom prank ever?
This may just be the best classroom prank ever.
Students at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Mich., recently pulled one over on their professor, who has a strict policy on cellphones -- if it rings in class, you must answer the call on speakerphone.
A video that's since gone viral shows professor Stephen Barrows telling student Taylor Nefcy to answer her ringing phone.
She does, only to be greeted by an unexpected message:
"Hi, this is Kevin from the Pregnancy Resource Center. Per your request, I am calling to inform you that the test results have come back positive. Congratulations."
Barrows is mortified, but the call only gets better:
"There is no need to worry," says the caller. "I know you told us the father is no longer in the picture, but we will be in contact with you throughout this whole process, so don't worry about anything. We provide counseling and other maternity services at no charge."
Barrows apologized, but Nefcy tells him it's all good.
"I've been expecting this and I already know what I'm going to name the baby. Her first name will be April and her middle name will be Fools," she says as Barrows bursts into laughter.

Bangkok, October 4, 2013--Vietnamese blogger Le Quoc Quan was sentenced to prison on Wednesday for tax evasion, a charge that government authorities frequently use to stifle critical voices. The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on the appellate court to reverse the politically motivated ruling and urges Vietnamese authorities to end state persecution of Vietnam's independent bloggers.
The People's Court in Hanoi ruled in a one-day trial that Quan had failed to pay income tax at a consulting company he ran and established. He was handed a 30-month prison sentence and fine of 1.2 billion dong (US$60,000), and was ordered to pay 600 million dong in back taxes, according to news reports. Convictions on tax evasion carry a maximum of seven years in prison under Vietnamese law.
At the hearing, Quan denied the charges against him and said he was the victim of "political acts," news reports said. His lawyer, Ha Huy Son, said that the presiding judge would not allow any arguments from the defense and that there were many "inaccuracies" in the prosecution's evidence, according to the reports. The lawyer said Quan will appeal the conviction.
Quan wrote a popular blog in which he reported and commented on issues of government corruption, religious freedom, political pluralism, and human rights abuses. He was first detained on December 27, 2012, in Hanoi, days after he wrote an article published on the BBC's website that criticized the Communist Party-dominated government's constitutional reform drive. His blog has remained inactive since his arrest.
"The politically motivated ruling against Le Quoc Quan points to a lack of judicial independence and rising government intolerance for free expression over the Internet," said Shawn Crispin, CPJ's senior Southeast Asia representative. "We condemn the conviction and call for Quan to be released on appeal."
In August 2012, assailants beat Quan outside his home with an iron bar, according to the Vietnam Committee on Human Rights, a local advocacy group. Quan said at the time that he believed the assailants were state agents.
Officials used similar trumped-up tax evasion charges to initially detain and later sentence prominent blogger Nguyen Van Hai in 2008. After serving his two-and-a-half-year prison sentence, Hai was charged with anti-state crimes in September 2012 and handed a 12-year prison sentence to be followed by five years' house arrest. Hai will be honored with CPJ's International Press Freedom Award on November 26.
Quan's sentencing comes amid an intensifying crackdown on Vietnam's independent bloggers. In an authoritarian country like Vietnam, where many issues are not covered by the mainstream media, the only avenue open to critical and independent reporters and writers is blogging. At least three bloggers have been detained so far this year on arbitrary anti-state charges.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS—The motion capture technology that sent Na'vi prancing through Pandora with lifelike accuracy in the film Avatar has another use in the lab: creating fine-scale, highly personalized models of how a body moves. Computer scientist Nadia Magnenat Thalmann of the University of Geneva in Switzerland and colleagues have been working to design virtual replicas of athletes' bodies—not just their general shape and movement, but also dynamics hidden within the joints that bear the strain. Their first test subjects: a group of professional ballerinas from the Grand Theater of Geneva. Due to the unusual stress on their joints as they dance, many ballerinas need hip replacement surgery in their early teens, says Thalmann, who described the ongoing modeling project here today at the annual meeting of AAAS, which publishes Science. The case study used MRI to generate a model of each dancer's muscles, cartilage, and bone, slice by slice. Then, by adding data from a motion sensor suit (like the one in the photo above), the researchers watched how stress was distributed within the tissues (colored joint models, left) as she performed. The results have helped each dancer understand which movements put her at risk of long-term damage, Thalmann says, and predict the need for future surgery. This technology is still young, Thalmann points out, and the process of analyzing personalized data takes about a month. But she predicts that doctors will someday use the method to quickly model strain and injury in the clinic … even for those who don't regularly subject their bodies to high kicks and splits.

On the sleepy Labor Day streets of Nob Hill, the alley between Flying Star and the Slice Parlor attracted quite a crowd. Three artists jammed out to hip-hop while keeping their brushes to concrete on the 100-foot long wall. Everyone passing by stopped to watch, dance, talk and take pictures.
The psychedelic street art is a mishmash of images and colors reflecting the styles of the collaborating artists: Jaque Fragua, Ernest Doty and Ryan Montoya. A sickly green skeleton hovers in the smog of a nuclear reactor above the message "A good Indian is a live Indian." A large Native/east Indian spirit guide with four eyes looks on. The hands of God descend from the sky controlling marionettes.
Fragua says the artwork is meant to draw attention to environmental and cultural degradation. "We wanted to put everything under one umbrella," he says. "This includes all of the issues that face the way indigenous people live in the area and around the world."
Fragua says he sees the piece as a parody of what he calls "art slavery" along Route 66 where billboards advertise Indian wares for tourists. "We're advertising the truth," he says. "It's something that doesn't require money to look at, just attention."
The mural is part of a larger show called Bomb the Canvas, featuring graffiti-style art around Albuquerque. The fourth-annual expo ended Sunday, but the street art lives on.

Acne is the development of blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, or cysts. This skin condition is most common in teenagers, but can also occur in adults and children.
Dead skin cells and oils travel up to the surface of the skin through pores. Sometimes there is too much of an oil, called sebum. The extra sebum causes dead skin cells to stick together and block the pore. This is what causes acne. Bacteria can also become trapped in the pore and cause an infection. The infection causes the familiar redness and pus. It can also spread down into the skin and cause cysts.
Blackheads are clogs that reach the skin's surface. Whiteheads are clogs that stay beneath the surface of the skin. Small red bumps, pimples, and cysts may develop if bacteria is causing an infection.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of acne:
- Family history
Changes in hormone levels which can occur with:
- Puberty
- Pregnancy
- The time before a menstrual period
- Stress
- Certain cosmetic products especially those that are greasy
Acne symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe. They include:
- Excess oil in the skin
- Blackheads
- Whiteheads
- Papules—small, pink bumps that may be tender to the touch
- Pimples—inflamed, pus-filled bumps that may be red at the base
- Nodules—large, painful, solid lumps that are lodged deep within the skin
- Cysts—deep, inflamed, pus-filled lumps that can cause pain and scarring
The areas of your skin most likely to develop acne will be examined. The doctor can make a diagnosis based on physical exam.
If your acne is severe, you may be referred to a dermatologist.
Acne will require a combination of treatments. Most treatments may take several weeks to work. Your skin may actually appear to get worse before it gets better.
It is also common to have to change treatments during recovery.
Medications to treat acne include:
- Over-the-counter topical medications such as cleansers, creams, lotions, and gels to reduce the amount of oil and/or bacteria in the pores.
- Prescription topical antibiotics or retinoids to reduce the amount of oil and/or bacteria in the pores.
- Oral antibiotics to control the amount of bacteria in pores.
- Medications to control certain hormone levels.
Oral retinoids to reduce the size of oil glands. This medication is only used for severe cases of cystic acne.
- Must not be taken by women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant due to the risk of serious birth defects.
- Potential complications need to be followed with frequent examinations and blood work.
There are a number of procedures that can be used by your doctor or dermatologist to treat acne:
- Corticosteroids—an injection of corticosteroid directly into the cyst mostly used for large, cystic acne lesions
- Acne surgery
- Chemical peels—uses glycolic acid and other chemical agents to loosen blackheads and decrease acne papules
- Dermabrasion —used to treat deep acne scars
- Scar excision—used to reduce or improve the appearance of acne scars
- Collagen fillers—used to add volume to acne scars to make them appear more smooth
- Light and laser therapies
Some of the procedures have risks such as scarring and infection.
Home Care
To decrease irritation of your acne:
- Gently wash your face with mild soap and warm water no more than twice a day to remove excess oil. Scrubbing or washing too often can make acne worse.
- Allow your face to dry before applying any lotion.
- Do not pick at or squeeze blemishes.
- Use lotions, soaps, and cosmetics labeled noncomedogenic. This means it will not clog your pores.
- Use topical acne treatments only as directed. Using them more often could make your condition worse.
- Recognize and limit emotional stress whenever possible if it triggers your acne.
- Wear sunscreen year-round. This is especially important if you are using medication that can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Acne is caused by changes in your body's processes so it is difficult to prevent. Acne is not due to improper hygiene.

Nothing new. A bit tired due to the amount of work. Spent a superb evening with my university friends on Wednesday during the "24 heures of Louvain-La-Neuve". I'm in a period of doubt concerning GnomeMeeting. Should I continue or should I spend my spare time on something else?
Release 1.2 with Evolution-Data-Server support is ready. There are still a few bugs to fix, but the code and strings will soon be frozen. I think an official release could be ready around my birthday, mid-November. I started porting it to OPAL for SIP support, that is like writing a new GnomeMeeting. Is it worth it? I don't know, but I'll do it.
The schedule is nearly done, the hotel for speakers has been booked, contacts have been taken again with Linux Magazines... That will be the 5th FOSDEM edition if I remember correctly.

The latest update has come in from Greenland, with the Under the Pole team talking diving holes, science and inviting locals to join in on the experience.

Much jubilation was felt amongst the team as after months of waiting they finally have sea ice surrounding them.
"The ice is moving, cracking and grinding, northern lights are dancing at night around the Why [the name of their boat] and the dives are splendid, offering visibility down to 60 and 70 meters," writes expedition leader, Grislain Bardout in his latest newsletter. "Having the boat icebound was a dream. How beautiful she is!"
Life is not easy for the crew, however, who work in temperatures falling to -30 degrees C. With ice anything up to 60 cm thick it also freezes the toilet pipes meaning these must be defrosted before every day can begin.

They are making headway on their scientific work, however, Ghislain says: "Science wise, we started the cryosphere program, or interaction between atmosphere, ice and ocean. Part of the boat was transformed into an efficient laboratory. This program is extremely interesting because it provides us with a real database on our environment during the ice season."
There was also a bit of fun to be had at the weekend during a visit to Ikerasak with the diving equipment to allow inhabitants to discover the undersea world. "All together we shared this event and, in spite of our languages and cultural differences, the diving hole was surrounded all day long by thirty persons or more. Twelve of them dared to immerse and went to see under the ice, although they didn't even know how to swim," adds Ghislain.
The team also plans to invite hunters and children from the Uummannaq Home to join them on the ice.

Joel Thomas Zimmerman (born January 5, 1981), better known by his stage name Deadmau5 (stylized as deadmau5; pronounced "dead mouse"), is a Canadian progressive, electro, and house producer based in Toronto, Ontario. Although Deadmau5 classes himself as having no genre, his extensive discography includes tracks such as "Arguru" and "Not Exactly", which have been included in compilation albums such as In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza, MixMag's Tech-Trance-Electro-Madness (mixed by deadmau5 himself), and on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance radio show. His debut album, Get Scraped, was released in 2006, followed by others in the next few years.
As well as his own extensive solo back catalogue, deadmau5 is recognised for his work alongside numerous other DJs and producers, such as Kaskade, MC Flipside, Rob Swire of Pendulum, Skrillex, and Steve Duda under the BSOD alias.
He was nominated for a Grammy in 2009 for his remix of the track "The Longest Road" by Morgan Page featuring Lissie in the category of "Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical"

"I remember...
I remember riding my bike to summer art lessons at the Children's Museum.
It was located in a rambling, old house with a helicopter in the front yard - what child wouldn't love this place? All hot and sweaty from a two mile ride in the Florida sun, I'd park my bike and run up the back steps to an enclosed porch where art class was held. I remember the feeling of stepping through that door into a magical, paint-spattered sanctuary. During those summer months on the back porch, a love for painting was born.
Many years of events seemingly unrelated to art followed this beginning.
There was college, marriage, a move to North Carolina, and the birth of two sons. My family was the primary focus during this time, and many weekends were spent together backpacking in the Appalachian Mountains where we were immersed in the beauty of God's creation. I didn't realize it at the time, but He had begun to fan that little flame again.
My boys grew older. More time became available. Then one summer I registered for an art class at our local community college and stepped through that door again.
So the journey continues. I am a signature member of the Watercolor Society of North Carolina and have been published in Splash 12: Celebrating Artistic Vision and Splash 14: Light and Color (North Light Books). I've had the opportunity to study with outstanding nationally known artists such as Cheng-Khee Chee, Frederick Graff, and Joseph Fettingis. In addition to displaying at art festivals throughout the Southeast and teaching workshops, I've enjoyed doing freelance work for the DaySpring division of Hallmark. The beauty of God's Word and His glorious creation continue to be the inspiration for my watercolor paintings."
Susan Crouch
Artist Statement
Psalm 19:1 says "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands." This is a timeless message - one that crosses all language barriers. It's the message I hope to echo in my paintings.
I work primarily in transparent watercolor because its character allows for awonderful blending of spontaneity and control. As a result, my paintings are a fusion of realistic and interpretive elements. Most projects begin with preliminary sketches to determine composition, value pattern, and colors. Once these initial decisions are in place, I follow where the watercolor leads me.
I enjoy painting a variety of subjects including flowers, figures, wildlife, and landscapes. My primary focus is always on the light and its ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. But the longer I paint, the more I realize - it's all pretty extraordinary.

The world is a strange place. Unsure of what to do about my political frustration, I decided to nominate as a Senate candidate for the Pirate Party Australia in the up coming Australian federal election. I discovered late on Sunday night that I had been elected by the members as the lead candidate.
Coincidentally, last night (Monday) my partner got us tickets to see the Australian Art Orchestra with Nicole Lizée present Hymns to Pareidolia. Knowing nothing before we went in, it turned out to be an almost perfect live music experience for me. And while I was watching and listening, I realized that for some reason I hadn't been open about my taste in big A Art to the pirates.
So I've decided to make a short list of artists that I appreciate for your delectation.
The very first artists this concert made me think of was a band I've never had the pleasure of seeing live and most likely never will, even in it's reduced state – Negativland, a band I first discovered via their album Dispepsi, although were already semi folk heroes because of what I'd heard about their U2 EP which, thanks to the then newly discovered web, I'd downloaded via Napster or Gnutella. Then their EP with Chumbawamba became my jam for a couple of years – The ABCs of Anarchism.
It's hard to know what came next, but suddenly I was listening to difficult music. The audio equivalent of The Illuminatus! Trilogy – some of it very very listenable, like 2manyDJs Radio Soulwax pt 2, some of it was understandable pop if hard for others to appreciate, like Cassette Boy (some songs available), and some was painful to others, like Buttress O'Kneel, John Oswald's Plunderphonics or The Evolution Control Committee. Their Rebel Without a Pause is considered one of, if not the, first mashups. And then there is DJ Food's Raiding the 20th Century, an unparalleled exploration, history lesson, exposition, on the nature of music and remix – itself a remix of over 190 mash up tracks.
Thankfully, this new remix culture quickly became rampant – the tools were readily available to anyone with a computer, and the mash up was not only born but breaking out. While some went for the decidedly pop route (Girl Talk, Freelance Hellraiser's A Stroke of Genius), some remained dedicated to the plain strange. It was around this time that DJ Danger Mouse's The Grey Album – mixing The Beatle's White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album – became an unofficial hit.
The intrinsic sharing nature of the internet allowed a genre of music called outsider to spread more widely. Associated with the avant garde, mail art, surrealist and underground movements, most notable for it's intense passion for the artform regardless of actual ability was refreshing for me. The Shaggs are the best example to my mind, and have one of the best back stories to boot, and we see this movement reborn as the Antifolk movement of the late 90s, but also side swiped by other pop weirdos – Singing Sadie (Everyone in town wants you dead), Toxic Lipstick (Slut cunt hairbrush), the unstoppable and ever loved New Waver from Spill records (check out Spill compilation 3), San Jose Cow Muzak's Mrs Bronson's favourite remains a….favourite. Also, anything on Dual Plover, including it's peak moment, The Rebirth of Fool, vol 2.
And there were aficionados and curators that made things easier for us – I would religiously download (by hand! pre-podcast!) and listen to Some Assembly Required, or ABC Radio National's The Night Air, and the revelation that was the first time I discovered WFMU's the 365 Days Project in 2004 (now UbuWeb's first 365 Days Project) and downloaded all of the songs over a week…so many of these songs have become better known now, but at the time, they were a revelation. It wasn't piracy – this was the only place they were documented on the internet. It was curation. My go to piece from this period is the Van Morrison "contractual obligation record" – Ring Worm/You Say France And I Whistle/Want A Danish – although the project is literally littered with passionate brilliance. Louis Farrakhan singing calypso? The Frugal Gormets – Satan's Blood ("Some kids try really hard to sound evil, these kids succeeded.")? Bach vs Batman on the moog? Understanding Marx?
These days there are blogs that curate such weirdnesses abound, my favourite being Music for Maniacs, a haven of some of the strangest pop music available. Including classics like Party Like It's Only $19.99, the Prince tribute done by The Evolution Control Committee; OUTER SPACE MUSIC FROM OUTER SPACE!; two Sesame St Disco albums; a string of Xmas albums that aren't really ever appropriate; maybe Halloween is more your thing?; American Standard by Thelonious Moog; don't like standards or Moog? What about some experimental bagpipe music?; or maybe your taste are more along the lines of the three album, 62 track compilations of Xanadu covers (More Xanadu)?
I'm going to close with the two stand outs. Vicki Bennett, performing as People Like Us, has been a consistent source of fantastic mind bending music and inspiration. Her Do or DIY with People Like Us radio show on WFMU is a stand out that I can't recommend highly enough. You'll never hear Percy Faith's Summer Place '76 (Theme From A Summer Place) in the same way again. This show has bought me many, many pleasures, but the top of the list has to be Caroline Bergvall's Via (48 Dante translations) (mp3).
But sitting on top of all of this is the Australian art duo Soda Jerk's Pixel Pirate II: Attack of the Astro Elvis Video Clone. (aka Hollywood Burn). Taking all of these ideas, and doing it coherently, with film. It remains my favourite movie of all time, and I am still in debt to Jean Poole for introducing me to it. From the blurb:
Hollywood Burn is an anti-copyright epic constructed entirely from hundreds of samples pirated from the Hollywood archive. It pits a righteous league of video pirates against the evil tyrant Moses and his Copyright Commandments. Determined to alter the present by changing the past, the pirates travel back to 1955 to construct the ultimate weapon: an Elvis Presley video-clone.
Part sci-fi + rom com + biblical epic + action movie, this remix manifesto adopts the tactical responses of the parasite, feeding off the body of Hollywood and inhabiting its cinematic codes. The unwitting all-star cast includes Elvis Presley, Charlton Heston, Jack Sparrow, Monkey Magic, Bette Davis, Batman, Jaws, Jesus, the Hulk, the Hoff and the Ghostbusters.
What can I say? It's essential viewing for members of the Pirate Party.

I have watched many EdCamps from afar by following their hashtags on Twitter while they are taking place, but have never had the opportunity to participate in one in person myself. I am excited that EdCamp Austin is coming to my area very soon, but I was also pumped when I heard about EdCamp Online and registered for it right away. After being a part of yesterday's event, I am even more excited about the in person experience I will be having in just a couple of weeks!
To preserve the experience, I created a Storify using the Tweets I sent out during EdCamp Online. They include general getting organized Tweets, information from the session on engagement in online learning that I took part in, and the wrap-up. Also included is evidence of some technical issues that were bound to happen with a large endeavor like this one. I've embedded the Storify slide show below so you can see what my experience was like. You can also click here to view the Storify in a different format. I hope it will help inspire you to take part in an EdCamp experience at your first opportunity!

So we very, very early on, we were iOS only, then we thought, well we're missing out on half of the market. We need to add Android. So we had a friend of ours start working on the Android app, and I had to build the API for him, but I was having a really hard time doing that because I didn't know what he needed exactly, so I built the first version of the web store over the weekend because I wanted to have a client to consume myself for the API I was building.
Self taught : acquired knowledge or skill on one's own initiative. Unity and app compatible porposes : software development kit that enables developers to create applications for the Android platform.
The Android SDK is the key-component of all Android-based development and had to be included in this stack for sure. We work with the SDK through IntelliJ IDEA and the command-line.
Spring-Boot allows us to create stand-alone web servers and helps us configure many of our dependencies with sane default, while maintaining flexibility where we need it.
last time i used the android sdk was converting the tiktok app to ios. what a mess it was back then. the developer nature of the sdk was apparent vs apples offering.

My slight hiatus can be blamed on two reasons: I've been under the weather and overworked. I always get sick at the most inopportune times. In this case, I have a lot of work to do and no time to take it easy. I haven't been feeling very creative with my outfits, and I haven't really spent much time outside. When the time finally came to run some errands, I put on my go-to staple item: my denim skirt. I always wear that (or jeans) when I'm feeling lazy...or in this case, sick and not in the mood to pick out an outfit.

The Walton County sheriff�s posse, which has been revitalized under Sheriff Mike Adkinson almost two years ago, had been dormant through the years of other administrations. It is now active and still seeking members to top-off its 24-member contingent.
One can often see the police presence in Walton County with their cars on the road and deputies on foot at various functions. There are two sections of the posse. Some are trained posse members who are active in the field, while others are �volunteer citizens� who donate their expertise to the department in administrative duties.
The word �posse� for Walton County was first recorded in an account of citizens forming a posse to hunt down the leader of a �bunch of scalawags.� Scallywags was the term given by Confederate sympathizers to those individuals who remained loyal to the Unionist cause.
The recorded account of this formed �posse� took place in 1865, when William Cawthorn wrote letters revealing the account of his son-in�law Morris Walden. Two of Cawthorn�s sons, William and Joseph, were incarcerated in a Union prisoner of war camp after being captured in an unknown battle. Morris with his wife and children lived near the Shoal River.
One evening in 1863, in the middle of the Civil War, two men rode up to the cabin and called Morris outside. Hot muzzle loaded gunfire ripped into the young man�s body as his family watched from the door. The bandits then stole the livestock and meats from the smokehouse.
The family posted a $500 reward for the killers but nothing was revealed to them or to the Walton Sheriff John Campbell.
The two sons were released at the end of the war in 1865. They literally almost had to walk back to Walton County from the northern prison camp. Once the sons did make it home they did their own investigating and found out the killers� names.
There was no need for the reward money any longer because they rounded up other Confederate war veterans and organized a �posse� for justice. It must be remembered that the sheriff had maybe one or two deputies at that time for the entire county, which also covered parts of what is now Okaloosa and Bay counties.
Cawthorn claimed justification as law enforcement was �scarce,� and hunting with the posse were also Morris�s bothers Samuel and Joseph Walden.
An account of the incident reads; �It was thought that the (Union) gang leader was aware he was a target but could not wait to get his crop in the ground, so he put on a dress and bonnet to plow his field, thinking to avoid detection. Each man of the �posse� fired upon him so that no man could be accused of murder, and the matter was handled by means of frontier justice.�
No further information is known about the situation and the account faded into a yellow toned typed paper found in the Coastal Heritage Preservation archives located in the Coastal Branch Library .
A posse history is now being written by the �Walton Posse� and should be available in a few months.
Those who enjoy real wild frontier law will find it amazing how early Walton County and surrounding areas meted out justice. But you too can share in the rich history of the �Walton Posse� and become part of its heritage. Call the Walton County Sheriff�s office at 1-850-892-8186 for information or email me at email@example.com and you�ll get the information.
What a wonderful legacy to leave behind for your family album and maybe someday hear your grandchildren say: �Papa was on the sheriff�s posse a long time ago!�
Fair winds to ye matey.
Chick Huettel is a long-time Walton County resident, writer and artist and a former TDC advisory committee member.
