Abstract: Qualitative value profiling (QVP) is a relatively unknown method of strategic analysis for companies in international business-to-business settings. The purpose of QVP is to reduce the information complexity that is faced by international companies in dealing with business partners. The QVP method allows the development of 1) profiles of the target country in which operations are to take place, 2) profiles of the buying center (i.e. the group of decision makers) in the partner company, and 3) profiles of the product/service offering. It also allows the development of a semantic scaling method for deeper analysis of all involved factors. This paper presents the method and compares and contrasts it with other similar methods like the PESTELE method known from corporate strategy, the STEEPAL method known from scenario analysis, and the Politics-Institutions-Economy (PIE) framework known from International Business. This comparison suggests that QVP on most accounts provides deeper insights than alternative methods and thus lays the foundation for better strategic planning in international business-to-business markets. Hence, it is a valuable addition to the toolbox of business strategists and consequently, for the advancement of international development. Further use of QVP is recommended and suggestions for future research are provided. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9243

Abstract: A central issue in science policy today is the changing role and function of research evaluation. How is quality selected, has local organizational traditions and managerial practices influence on the research evaluation? Who is perceived as peers or evaluators by the researchers and by managers? Recent organizational theory has focused on organizational and social dimensions in private knowledge-based companies, but left out research organizations. How important is the organizational context for the research evaluation processes? The paper will present results from an interview-based study of four private and public research organizations and discuss the importance of the organizational context on the production of new knowledge.

The role of internal controls and materialityChristensen, Leif (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Accounting and auditing is closely related to the quality of data. Two important elements supporting the quality of information are internal controls and materiality. Inspired by Simons (1994), these elements can be considered "basic building blocks". Internal controls are perhaps the most important element, as they ensure that information used for management purposes has the required quality (Kinney, 2000). This information can be used as a basis for preparing the external financial reporting (COSO, 2013) and as a prerequisite for establishing information-based management control systems (MCS) (Simons, 1994). When regarding management controls as a package, internal controls are part of the administrative controls and often formalised in policies and procedures (Malmi and Brown, 2008). The level of controls should be guided by the need for reliable information. These considerations are linked to another "basic building block", namely the concept of materiality. The basic meaning of materiality is "that there is no need to be concerned with what is not important or with what does not matter" (Bernstein, 1967). Gaining an understanding of these concepts is important in order to answer the question "when is enough – enough?" The information should be both reliable and relevant, but there is also the cost to consider, since companies spend considerable resources on the design, implementation and operation of administrative controls and financial reporting (Carney, 2006). It is also important to understand these concepts when performing an audit of the internal controls embedded in the company systems and processes (Kinney et al., 2013), as well as when preparing an annual report. The overall objective of this thesis is to add to the understanding of the role of internal controls and materiality. The three articles included aim at meeting this objective by analysing selected areas within accounting and auditing. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9353

the Danish stock market since World War 1Risager, Ole (København, 1998)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract: This paper contributes to the growing literature on mean reversion in stock markets by examining a newly constructed Danish data set for the period 1922-95. Variance ratio tests clearly reject the random walk hypothesis at the 2-year horizon, that is, the riskiness of a 2- year investment is significantly less than twice the risk of a 1-year investment. Variance ratio tests for 3- and 4-year horizons are not significant under conventional significance levels, whereas autocorrelation tests of the joint hypothesis that there is departure from random walk at all horizons tend to reject the random walk hypothesis and support the mean reversion hypothesis.

Abstract: Formålet med markedsføringsloven er, at den skal understøtte fair konkurrence samt gode forbrugerforhold. Markedsføringsloven udgør således en væsentlig rammebetingelse for alle virksomheder og forbrugere i Danmark. Fair konkurrence, og en hensigtsmæssig forbrugerbeskyttelse, hvor forbrugerne er beskyttet mod fx at blive vildledt eller udsat for aggressiv markedsføring, understøtter velfungerende markeder. Markedsføring er i høj grad reguleret af fælles europæiske regler. Siden den sidste store revision af markedsføringsloven, der skete i 2005, har der været en række ændringer af markedsføringsloven i forbindelse med gennemførelse af EU-regler, herunder særlig direktivet om urimelig handelspraksis. Disse ændringer har savnet en egentlig integrering med lovens øvrige regler. Det har betydet, at en række af reglerne overlapper hinanden, og at loven flere steder fremstår fragmenteret. Det har også medført en åbningsskrivelse fra Europa- Kommissionen, som gør opmærksom på, at Danmark på en række punkter, efter Europa- Kommissionens opfattelse, ikke har implementeret direktivet om urimelig handelspraksis korrekt. Den teknologiske udvikling har endvidere givet virksomhederne nye måder at markedsføre sig på. Det har dels skabt udfordringer for virksomhederne, der kan være usikre på, om deres kommunikation holder sig inden for lovens rammer, og dels for forbrugerne i forhold til, hvilke rettigheder de har. Der er endvidere behov for at se på de redskaber, Forbrugerombudsmanden har til rådighed i sin håndhævelse. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9345

Construction and information content of an investor-cost based rating of Danish mutual fundsBechmann, Ken L.; Rangvid, Jesper (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We develop a new rating of mutual funds: the atpRating. The atpRating assigns crowns to each individual mutual fund based upon the costs an investor pays when investing in the fund in relation to what it would cost to invest in the fund's peers. Within each investment category, the rating assigns five crowns to funds with the lowest costs and one crown to funds with the highest costs. We investigate the ability of the atpRating to predict the future performance of a fund. We find that an investor who has invested in the funds with the lowest costs within an investment category would have obtained an annual risk-adjusted excess return that is approximately 3-4 percentage points higher per annum than if the funds with the highest costs had been invested in. We compare the atpRating with the Morningstar Rating. We show that one reason why the atpRating and the Morningstar Rating contain different information is that the returns Morningstar uses as inputs when rating funds are highly volatile whereas the costs the atpRating uses as inputs when rating funds are highly persistent. In other words, a fund that has low costs one year will most likely also have low costs the following year, whereas the return of a fund in a certain year generally contains only little information about the future return that the fund will generate. Finally, we have information on the investments in different mutual funds made by a small subgroup of investors known to have been exposed to both the atpRating and the Morningstar Rating, i.e. information is provided on how investors use the two ratings. We find that investors have a clear preference for high-rated funds. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7194

Lando, Henrik (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article suggests a rationale for statutes of limitations in sales law, i.e. for the practice of cutting off buyers' remedies after the expiration of a limitation period. The rationale is based on the notion of wear and tear, which carries two implications: First, a good that breaks down after several periods of use is likely to be of nearly optimal quality, and in this case little is gained by allowing a claim. Second, the number of dysfunctions is likely to increase over time, which implies that the pool of potential claims, and in particular the pool of unjustified claims, is likely to increase over time. It will be shown theoretically that these implications can provide a rationale for cutting off claims. The rationale will be supported with empirical evidence stemming from a recent extension of the limitation period from one to two years in Denmark. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7237

Staff utilisation in branches of a large Canadian bankAsmild, Mette; Bogetoft, Peter; Hougaard, Jens Leth (, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper we consider staffing decisions in branches of a large Canadian bank. The bank has well-developed staffing models and the branches work in a highly competitive environment. One would therefore expect limited 'inefficiency' in the sense of wasted resources and over-staffing. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) we nevertheless find considerable 'inefficiency' which raises the question whether this is best interpreted as waste or if the apparent inefficiency may serve other purposes. To investigate this, we invoke the theoretical framework of Rational Inefficiency (Bogetoft and Hougaard 2003). A systematic pattern of slack consumption emerges, which suggests that the allocation of slack between sta↵ groups is far from random. The slack pattern seems natural from the point of view of employee value and hierarchy and also considering employee flexibility and substitutability. For example we find relatively large over-staffing at the supervisor level which is natural given both their strong bargaining position derived from their role in the branch hierarchy and given the relative flexibility of supervisor resources.

Emotionologies in an Information Systems ProjectHekkale, Riitta; Stein, Mari-Klara (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Using Stearns and Stearns' (1985), and Fineman's (2008) view on emotionologies, this qualitative case study examines the attitudes that members of an inter-organizational information systems (IOIS) project hold toward emotions and their appropriate expression in this particular project. In order to understand the role of emotionologies in emotion management, we suggest the adoption of the concept of emotion structure, consisting of emotion rules and resources (Callahan, 2004), which we argue helps to understand both the attitudes a group holds towards emotions and their expression as well as the influence of these standards on emotion management. This study extends prior research on emotion rules (cf. Bolton & Boyd, 2003) and introduces the idea of personal emotion rules of IOIS project members. We show that organizational actors are indeed skilled emotion managers, but their behavior is guided not only by group emotionologies with their commercial, professional, organizational, and social emotion rules, but also by personal emotion rules. Based on earlier literature (e.g. Callahan, 2004), we suggest that emotion rules and their impact on emotion management emanate from two sources: external (authoritative) and internal (allocative). We then identify various types of emotion management that follow (prescriptive, situational, presentational, philanthropic, misanthropic), both confirming and extending prior research.

Abstract: It may be optimal from a welfare perspective to use R&D subsidies when the source of R&D distortions originates from the surplus appropriability problem and technological spillovers in the form of knowledge spillovers, creative destruction, and duplication externalities are absent. Hence, R&D subsidies may constitute the optimal policy even when subsidies directly targeted on monopoly pricing could be applied. The result holds when dynamic effects are important relative to static effects and when governments spending is restricted. The latter characteristic arises when a government is unable or unwilling to use the level of spending required to implement the optimum policy. The argument is developed in a semi-endogenous growth model where the only distortion is monopoly pricing of intermediate goods.

Ideological Continuity and the Organization of Anti-Socialist Propaganda in the Danish Business Community, 1945-1974Lund, Joachim (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In Denmark, only minor changes took place in the economic elite after the liberation. Retributions with economic collaborators were dealt with in the legal system, and business managers who had been involved in pro-German political activities during the occupation withdrew to their executive offices and kept a low profile. With Nazism defeated, other ideational forces of integration surfaced as prewar anti-Socialist feelings and activities were invigorated. As an integral part of a general fight against economic regulation and for free trade, anti-Socialism became an important integral factor among Danish business leaders during the immediate postwar years.

Challenges without the ClassroomLindberg, Frank; Pettersson, Michael (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The development of ITC has increased focus onto distance learning programs worldwide. Most universities today offer distance learning programs that are based on the Internet. This development represents a fundamental change in the very logic of being a university. It is no longer enough to rely on professor authority. How can one create a learning situation that enables the university to remain viable? In most western countries, the professors have dominated the learning processes at universities. Since the 50-ties, learning has been about learning-in, memorizing, and cram (Illeris, 2000) where professors most often decide what and when one could learn by providing the context and substance. In this perspective, the student has a role which is close to the one of a passive receiver, and s/he is mainly preoccupied with the problem of generating substance in memory most efficiently. Today, technology challenges our pedagogical reasoning in many ways. However, old pedagogical models often prevail. We see practices where lectures, notes and course information are published on the Internet, where ICT helps professor-student communication, and online based student tests. These attempts are based on old-time educational logic. There are fewer attempts to use ICT according to a different pedagogical perspective than the old professor authoritarian model. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate some challenges virtual students experience when facing a new ICT-based learning situation. We will try to explore and develop understandings of what it might mean to be a student when learning occurs within a virtual problem based learning landscape. When students are used to the traditional classroom, challenges appear in the twilight zone between two pedagogical practices. How do the students cope with challenges that a new virtual program demands, and what paradoxes and ambiguities appear when old learning processes do not work anymore? The present focus reflects an existential-phenomenological point of departure. This perspective is based on the philosophical writings of Søren Kierkegaard and Martin Heidegger (1927/1996; "Being and Time"), and the successors Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur. The work is also inspired of the father of culturalism – Jerome Bruner (1996) and Wenger's (1998) community of practice. Thompson (1997) is an inspiration through his initiator of hermeneutical endeavor within consumer research. The consequences of this perspective are that the student and his/her experiences and learning cannot be separated from the student's existence. As for the subject matter, we cannot separate the student from his/her studying. Learning becomes a profoundly socio-cultural process which has to be studied according to the situation and context in which it appears. It is the heart of this project that the twilight zone between cultural roles might reveal some interesting knowledge about the introduction of ICT and its consequences. The socio-cultural conditions of present society set the context for the hermeneutic analysis of meanings and salient life concerns that learning experiences hold for time-pressured virtual students with high degree of responsibilities. An existential-phenomenological assumption is that individuals would tend to interpret their experiences within present socio-cultural framework. Due to its novel characteristics of the program, however, it is particularly interesting to investigate the role that virtual studying serves in the construction of reality and meaning. Furthermore, as it is assumed that experiences cannot be separated from who one is (being-in-the world), the process of human change during virtual studying is also expected to influence salient types of learning, the student's work practice, and his/her private practice.

Testifying out of sight, ex-CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress Friday that classified intelligence showed the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack but the administration withheld the suspected role of al-Qaida affiliates to avoid tipping them off.
The recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not to alert them that U.S. intelligence was on their trail, according to lawmakers who attended Petraeus� private briefings.
He also said it initially was unclear whether the militants had infiltrated a demonstration to cover their attack.
The retired four-star general addressed the House and Senate intelligence committees in back-to-back, closed-door hearings as questions persist over what the Obama administration knew in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and why its public description did not match intelligence agencies� assessments.
After the hearings, lawmakers who questioned Petraeus said he testified that the CIA�s draft talking points in response to the assault on the diplomatic post in Benghazi that killed four Americans referred to it as a terrorist attack. Petraeus said that reference was removed from the final version, although he wasn�t sure which federal agency deleted it.
Adding to the explanation, a senior U.S. official familiar with the drafting of the points said later that a reason the references to al-Qaida were deleted was that the information came from classified sources and the links were, and still are, tenuous. The administration also did not want to prejudice a criminal investigation in its early stages, that official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the process publicly.
Democrats said Petraeus made it clear the change was not done for political reasons during President Barack Obama�s re-election campaign.
�The general was adamant there was no politicization of the process, no White House interference or political agenda,� said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. �He completely debunked that idea.�
But Republicans remain critical of the administration�s handling of the case. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Petraeus� testimony showed that �clearly the security measures were inadequate despite an overwhelming and growing amount of information that showed the area in Benghazi was dangerous, particularly on the night of Sept. 11.�
In fact, Petraeus told lawmakers that protesters literally walked in and set fire to the facility, according to a congressional official who attended the briefing. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens died from smoke inhalation. Petraeus said security at the CIA annex was much better, but the attackers had armaments to get in.
Separately on Friday, the Democratic leader in the Senate rejected a request from John McCain and two other senators for a Watergate-style congressional committee to investigate the Benghazi attack. In a letter to McCain, Sen. Harry Reid said several committees in the House and Senate are already investigating and he would not allow the Senate to be used as a �venue for baseless partisan attacks.� Republican House Speaker John Boehner also said this week that a special committee was not necessary.
Petraeus, who had a long and distinguished military career, was giving his first Capitol Hill testimony since resigning last week in disgrace over an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Lawmakers said he did not discuss that scandal except to express regret about the circumstances of his departure and say that Benghazi had nothing to do with his decision to resign.
He was brought to a secure room beneath the Capitol, avoiding crowds of photographers and television cameras.
Petraeus testified that the CIA draft written in response to the raid referred to militant groups Ansar al-Shariah and al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb but that those names were replaced with the word �extremist� in the final draft, according to a congressional staff member. The staffer said Petraeus testified that he allowed other agencies to alter the talking points as they saw fit without asking for final review, to get them out quickly.
The congressional officials weren�t authorized to discuss the hearing publicly and described Petraeus� testimony to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

There are two different ways to approach their building. The first is to drive along Waigani Drive, and turn right at the lights near Boroko Motors. After turning right into the same streets as the likes of, ANZ Waigani, SVS Trading, TE PNG, Daltron etc, keep in the right lane and take the first street to the right. Follow this road which will lead you down past Fu Gui Restaurant and around the corner where you will end up at their doorstep.

What Broadband Options (xDSL) are available on my Postcode?
Central and Surburban Doncaster, Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham have a wide range of Broadband Options.
aDSL & aDSL2+.
aDSL refers to services which can provide typical data speeds of up to 8Mbps on downstream bandwidth and up to 2Mbps for upstream bandwidth.
FTTC – Fibre to the cabinet (vDSL).
This is where the segment from the main Openreach exchange to the localised green street cabinet has been upgraded from Copper to Fibre, allowing far more data to be transmitted along the same geography to the commercial of residential property. The only segment not on Fibre from the Openreach exchange is the last mile where it is still copper until FTTP can be delivered, at reasonable costs.
FTTP – Fibre to the Premises.
Lightning fast Internet is excellent for all sorts of reasons. Today (as at 18/08/2019) there are a host of different options to choose from including 330Mbps Openreach broadband, delivered via Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology which does not involve copper tails but the fibre is delivered right up to the doorstep. If you are streaming games and videos from your home area network, then FTTP is a great option, albeit slightly more expensive. Another option may be Fibre on Demand (FoD).
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) on Demand.
Fibre to the Premises (on Demand) entitles you to order Generic Ethernet Access (GEA) on a Fibre to the Premises (GEA-FTTP). It allows speeds of up to 1Gbps for those who are within proximity of a Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) area, but who are also in a Fibre to the Cabinet Area.
G.Fast (Ultrafast Broadband).
Soon G.fast will also be available meaning that technology is available to boost speeds over copper tail circuits. G.fast delivers ultrafast broadband speeds of more than 100Mbps. This builds upon existing copper infrastructure.
What is the difference between WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) and Internet?
Often people get entirely confused between internet access and wifi. Wifi, is simply a wireless signalling protocol which allows the signal from the box on the wall (NTE) to be transmitted to a computer device or telephone handset without the need for unsightly cables. You are likely to get a large loss of speed if you simply use wifi to access the internet, especially if you building has thick walls and lacks wifi boosters.
What is the best fibre broadband in my area?
This is based entirely on localised geography and where your property happens to sit in relation to the Openreach physical infrastructure.
As most internet service providers utilise the Openreach infrastructure and simply rebrand the service, you will not receive faster speeds by using BT. Approximately 80% of the UK population live within 0.6 kilometres from the local green street-side cabinet, but less than 20% live within 0.2 kilometres.
BT so happens to be just one of the many service providers (ISPs) also using the Openreach infrastructure. Others include brand only Openreach broadband e.g. Tesco, John Lewis, Now, first utility broadband, direct save broadband, Shell Energy Broadband, who are classified as Virtual ISPs (without infrastructure).
Ironically, another vISP, Post Office Broadband are now selling the infrastructure of its earlier iteration of GPO (General Post Office) which became British Telecom (and its sister company, Openreach).
Some ISPs put their own equipment into the Openreach local exchanges to lower their cost of delivery and, in turn, this should provide better pricing but normally that profit gets put back into building more infrastructure. This is otherwise known as local loop unbundling (LLU). Providers include Talk Talk Broadband, Sky Broadband and Vodafone, ZEN Internet, SSE Broadband, EE home broadband, Gigaclear Broadband, 3 Mobile, Hyperoptic Broadband.

… Outside of his poor HR/FB rate, there is another aspect of Rios' performance that warrants concern. Rios has been absolutely terrible against fastballs this season. Though he has hit fastballs well over his career, Rios currently carries the fourth worst pitch value against fastballs this season. When a hitter suffers such a drastic decline against fastballs, it's typically due to reduced bat speed as a result of age. Rios is only 30, and it would be surprising if he lost his effectiveness this early in his career. This is purely speculation, but it's possible something was off with Rios' swing early in the season. That could be an explanation as to why he has really struggled against fastballs this year. …

- Cultural Competency
An increasingly diverse and multicultural society is inspiring our movement to strive toward developing cultural sensitivity and cultural competence. However, culture is neither a blueprint nor an identity; individuals often traverse many cultural traditions. A program is considered relevant when the age, socioeconomic status, and culture of the community it intends to serve are taken into consideration. Creating relevant programming challenges us to address the concerns of the populations we serve. However, It is not possible to predict beliefs and behaviors of individuals based on their race, ethnicity, or national origin. This workshop will explore creating supportive environments that foster mutual education and understanding as we move toward creating programs that are both inclusive and meaningful.
If your center is in need of training or technical assistance on a topic not listed here, select "other" in your assistance request. We will contact you promptly regarding your request.

Everyone in the agency directly or indirectly impacts the lives of children who come to the center/shelter for intervention. All employees can offer ideas of how the agency can grow to meet the needs of children and what unique resources support that development. Thus it is requested that all staff attend the first half of this training. The remainder of the training will involve the Executive Director and the children's program staff. Volunteers are welcomed.
- Strategic Planning for Organizational Growth and Social Change

Republicans had a field day today with news that U.S. Sen. Mark Udall's campaign was hit with a tax lien for failing to pay unemployment insurance to the state of Colorado.
The Denver Business Journal reported that Mark Udall for Colorado Inc. owed $458. The lien was filed on Feb. 4, recorded on Feb. 10 and lifted on Valentine's Day, according to the campaign.
"Due to a miscommunication, we mistakenly paid the state less than was owed," campaign spokesman Chris Harris said. "Once we were made aware of the error, we immediately ensured it was rectified."
"We?" No doubt, the campaign farms out its payroll activity to a private firm but is taking a bullet on this one. And shots were fired instantly by a variety of conservative groups both local and national.
Meanwhile, The Daily Beast called Thursday a "watershed day for political technology" because Udall's campaign used an "emoji,' a pink heart, in a press release, considered a first in Senate history. The emoji involved Gardner's endorsement of Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck for Gardner's seat in Congress. (More on that later.)

Buccaneers travel to take on FGCU and Stetson
FT. MYERS, Fla. and DELAND, Fla. (Oct. 25, 2012) – The ETSU men's soccer team begins a three-game road trip to close out the regular season this weekend, with its first two stops coming in the Sunshine State to take on Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson.
ETSU (8-5-2, 4-1-0 A-Sun) takes on FGCU (6-5-2, 3-1-1 A-Sun) Friday on Eagle Field at 7 p.m., and concludes the weekend Sunday against Stetson (2-7-2, 1-3-1 A-Sun) at the Hatters' Athletic Training Facility at 1 p.m.
After going winless in five-consecutive games during September, the Buccaneers have gone without a loss through all of October at 4-0-1. The month began with a convincing four-goal victory over North Florida, and also includes ETSU extending its unbeaten streak against ranked opponents to six games with a draw against then-No. 18 Wake Forest. The Bucs' current five-game unbeaten streak is tied for the longest in program history, and ETSU has outscored its opponents 14-3 during the stretch.
Junior David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.) has been on a tear. The product of Dobyns-Bennett has scored a goal in each of the last five games, totaling 11 goals, seven assists and 29 points on the year. All three of those marks are ETSU single-season records, and lead the Atlantic Sun in each category. Geno's points total ranks tied for fifth this year in the NCAA, while he also ranks among the nation's top 10 in points per game (1.93) and total goals.
Second-year goalkeeper Ryan Coulter (Dublin, Ireland) has been a key part to ETSU's great defensive play. Coulter has posted three shutouts during ETSU's five-game unbeaten streak, and has surrendered just three goals through five conference games for an A-Sun GAA of 0.60. The Irish keeper's three shutouts and league GAA each rank first in the conference. After shutting out Northern Kentucky last Friday, Coulter was named A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season and the fourth time in his collegiate career.
ETSU's Last Outing
ETSU had its first all-time meeting with Northern Kentucky last Friday, shutting out the Norse at Summers-Taylor Stadium, 3-0. The two sides took a scoreless game into the locker room, but ETSU used a three-goal, second-half surge to jump all over the A-Sun's newest member. Geno opened the scoring with his A-Sun leading 11th goal of the season in the 52nd minute, while seniors Franck Doumbe (Silver Spring, Md.) and Alesi Osorio (Austin, Texas) added to the lead on Senior Night.
When the final whistle sounded, ETSU had outshot the Norse 14-5, and Coulter had made three saves to earn his second-consecutive shutout. The win moved ETSU's points total to 12 in the league standings, which currently ties them for first place with Mercer.
Scouting the Eagles
FGCU enters Friday as winners of their last three games. The streak began on Oct. 12 against USC Upstate, 1-0, which also includes victories against North Florida, 2-0, and most-recently at Jacksonville, 3-2. Those three wins come in the aftermath of a loss to Lipscomb and a draw against Northern Kentucky, giving the Eagles 10 points and placing them third in the league standings.
Felipe DeSousa heads the FGCU attack. DeSousa has scored five of the team's 18 goals, and also leads the Eagles with 11 points. William Morse and Henry Penagos have three goals apiece. In goal, Nathan Ingham carries a GAA of 1.38, surrendering 19 goals in 13 games.
Scouting the Hatters
Stetson is looking for its first win since Sept. 26, having gone 0-3-2 in its last five games. The Hatters kicked off the conference season earlier than most, beating Jacksonville, 2-0, on Sept. 7, but have gone 0-3-1 in their last four A-Sun contests. Stetson's five-game winless streak began at Mercer on Oct. 7, and also includes losses to UCF, USC Upstate, Lipscomb and Northern Kentucky.
Kai Eckenrode has just two goals this season to lead a depleted Stetson attack. As a team, the Hatters have scored just six goals while conceding 15. Andreas Schnabel has been between the posts every minute of the season, carrying a GAA of 1.29.
Series History
The last time ETSU met FGCU was in last year's A-Sun Championship Final at Summers-Taylor Stadium, which the Eagles won with a goal in the 89th minute, 1-0. The win boosted the Eagles ahead 3-2-0 in the all-time series after ETSU had knotted it up with a win during the 2011 regular season. FGCU has won both meetings at Eagle Field.
A game before falling to FGCU in the final, ETSU came back from two goals down to advance past Stetson in the 2011 A-Sun Semifinals. At the end of two overtimes, the Bucs and Hatters were tied, 3-3, but ETSU went on to win an eight-round penalty kick shootout, 5-4. Overall, Stetson leads the series 4-1-2, but has not defeated ETSU in their last three meetings. The Hatters are 2-0 when playing the Bucs in DeLand.
Live stats against FGCU will be provided by Stat Broadcast through FGCUAthletics.com, while Sunday's live stats versus Stetson will be available at GoHatters.com. Free live video will be available for both games on ASun.TV.
ETSU Notes
- ETSU is on a five-game unbeaten streak, tied for the longest in program history.
- David Geno leads the A-Sun in goals (11), assists (7) and points (29). All three totals are new ETSU single-season records.
- Ryan Coulter has surrendered just three goals in five A-Sun games for a conference GAA of 0.60.
- ETSU and FGCU last met in the 2011 A-Sun Championship Final, which the Eagles won 1-0 with a goal in the 89th minute. Two days earlier was ETSU's last meeting with Stetson, which ended in a tie, 3-3, but the Bucs advanced to the final by winning the penalty kick shootout, 5-4.

I would like to use class ISBNValidator. I think this class should be in library commons-validator-1.3.1.jar, but there isn't any in org.apache.commons.validator.routines (one other ISBNValidator is in org.apache.commons.validator).
Could anyone tell me where is the problem?

|Bacterial chemotaxis - Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis 168
|Chemotaxis is the process by which cells sense chemical gradients in their environment and then move towards more favorable conditions. In chemotaxis, events at the receptors control autophosphorylation of the CheA histidine kinase, and the phosphohistidine is the substrate for the response regulator CheY, which catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoryl group to a conserved aspartate. The resulting CheY-P can interact with the switch mechanism in the motor. This interaction causes a change in behavior, such as in direction or speed of rotation of flagella.

Elizabeth Hurley Gossip
Elizabeth Hurley gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Smutty Social Media, November 10, 2015
How bad has blowhard rhetoric become when Candace Cameron Bure is a voice of reason? Starbucks War on Christmas? It's a red cup, folks. Until Starbucks puts a baby Jesus or nativity scene on the cup while saying Merry Christmas, then pulls it because they say it's offensive, let's talk. I don't remember Starbucks ever being a Christian company, do you? A Santa, a snowflake, some holly, a polar bear, some jingle bells or plain red cup don't define Christmas for me as a Christian. My relationship with Jesus does. So, I will joyfully sip on my Starbucks coffee, in a plain red cup, and instead of complaining about the lack of decorations, I will lovingly share the good news of Jesus Christ with friends and co-workers or anyone who's willing to engage in conversation. Merry Christmas to all! Full Story
The Royals 1.10: Oh thanks god, it's over
The Royals Season 1, Episode 10 recap Spoilers but let's be honest, who really gives a sh*t? It's the final episode of The Royals season one—amazingly, this garbage show got renewed for a second season—and somehow, defying all the odds, Ted is still not fired. "I can't wait to fire you," Cyrus sneers to Ted. Full Story
The Royals 1.8: Ted continues to be employed
FameFlynetUK /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
The Royals Season 1 Episode 8 Recap At this point, the most insane aspect of The Royals is that Ted continues to be the head security officer at the palace. The king has been stabbed while out walking alone in London and Ted reveals he had an agreement with Simon to let him take these unattended jaunts, and yet he is not immediately fired. Full Story
The Royals 1.3: "Fashion week makes everyone crazy"
The Royals Season 1, Episode 3 recap I do not understand why Princess Eleanor even cares about Jasper evil-butlering her by releasing the tape of their threesome. When we first met her she had a bare-assed upskirt photo on the cover of all the tabloids, last week she was openly smoking a joint at a royal function, and this week she conducts a war with her mother in the papers. Full Story
The Royals 1.2: "Why all the mayonnaise?"
INFphoto.com/ Splash News
The Royals Season 1, Episode 2 recap This show's production value cracks me up. Blenheim Palace is standing in for Buckingham Palace—with an assist on some interiors from the Greenwich Observatory—and anything shot in and around Blenheim is beautiful and detailed. But it's painfully apparent when scenes are in built sets on a soundstage. Full Story
The Royals 1.1: "The Queen knows everything"
Wenn, Roger Wong/ INFphoto.com, Splash News
The job of a pilot is to introduce the major characters, set up the primary conflict, and then hook the audience into coming back for more. The Royals succeeds at all of these things, and surprisingly it's not as soapy as I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, it's a still a soap opera, and the pilot gives me serious OC vibes, particularly at the beginning. Full Story
Smutty Roundup: Catching up with the Afflecks & Royal Liz

Ben Affleck is in Atlanta working on The Accountant. He's the Accountant but really he's an assassin. Today he was in assassin mode, shooting a scene where he comes up from behind on a dude and stabs him in the chest. Oscar nominee and likely winner, JK Simmons, is also in this film along with Anna Kendrick. Full Story
Elizabeth Hurley: P.H.O.T.O.Y
You know, there's JLO and her Slum Love and then there's Elizabeth Hurley and her…well… My problem with JLO is that if you're going to date a backup dancer, keep him as the backup dancer – like Madonna – and don't give him the f-cking job as your head choreographer. Full Story
Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant go out for dinner with her new boyfriend
Here's a story about an actor and a model, two long-past-their-glory-days Brits, that obviously has nothing to do about the story of two very-much-in-their-prime American pop stars involved in a fight in an elevator…or does it? Look, I'm not trying to compare Liz Hurley to Beyonce, but I am going to argue that there's a lesson to be learned, in the wake of the possible beginning of the end of the Knowles/Carter empire, from the fact that Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley had dinner the other night. Full Story
Trading gross for…not so gross?
Elizabeth Hurley has a new boyfriend. His name is David Yarrow, 48. He's a billionaire (obviously). He made his money in hedge funds and is now a photographer. So the good news, I guess, is that she's no longer with that gross Shane Warne. The bad news… I look at this man's ripped jeans and his Simon Cowell sweater and, well, I already have an opinion. Full Story
The non-story of Liz, Bill, and Tom Sizemore
In my post yesterday about the allegation that Elizabeth Hurley had an affair with Bill Clinton, I asked of Tom Sizemore, "Is he even sober?" Well, he's answering that question for us. Following the widespread coverage of the story coming from an audiotape of him recounting the time he wingmanned for Clinton, Sizemore spoke to several outlets clarifying the situation. Full Story

Chatwood's status for first start uncertain
MIAMI -- Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood, who sustained a left hamstring strain Friday during his last Spring Training appearance, threw a side session on Sunday, but whether he'll make his first scheduled regular season start on Wednesday against the Marlins is uncertain.
The Rockies will evaluate Chatwood again on Monday. If he doesn't make the start, the club will place him on the 15-day disabled list.
Chatwood sustained the injury while running the bases Friday night against the Mariners at Peoria, Ariz. Although Chatwood said Saturday he felt good and shouldn't miss a start and reported feeling fine after Sunday's session, the Rockies weren't committing to anything.
If Chatwood needs to go on the disabled list, the team likely will go with righty Jordan Lyles, who pitched well in camp (0-1, 3.18 ERA, 12 strikeouts, six walks in five games), but was edged out for the fifth starter slot by lefty Franklin Morales. Lyles last threw in a Spring Training game on March 22. He threw informally at the Rockies' complex in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Saturday.
Also, righty Juan Nicasio, who will start Thursday against the Marlins, threw at the Rockies' complex on Sunday to stay on schedule.
