A Letter from Matt..A Bill from Grays....and Some Junk Mail
He calls it a "listen and learn" tour and in a letter to local leaders Mr. Doheny outlined some of his findings which he says show the public is "fed up and disgusted" with Congress.
The Doheny candidacy has been in operation for some time, but the candidate says he will officially announce soon...
I love how the MSM allows candidates to campaign for months but don't call them a candidate until they officially announce.
Doheny is a solid candidate with youth and enthusiasm on his side. His prospects in the GOP primary are good as party poobahs are behind him....
Name recognition and the preference of Tea Party voters are certainly things he needs to overcome in his bid to defeat fellow Republican Doug Hoffman.
By the way, has the MSM checked on Mr. Hoffman's new residence in Saranac Lake ? Check with the Franklin County clerk and the BOE...I think they are in Malone.
Anyway, this should be an interesting race as will the November battle against Rep. Bill Owens, who has been highly visible since his Ascension to DC last fall.

He is clearly doing his homework by traveling NY 23 and listening to the people. Jeff, how about posting his letter! I wish Newzjunky would do the same. JML, Potsdam.

Hes rich.. He can travel and meet people. Every where and everyone is bitching about congress, state government, local governments et. My opinion of this whole thing is he will change nothing if elected.Its alot like Lazio.. Hell say what is necessary to get elected.. The bottom line with him is NYC is where his heart is and to whom he owes. This is the very thing the Northern New York people have complained about the most.. Id really give him some thought but his NYC connection scares the hell out of me... Also the other day I read on your blog that someone thinks he is anti gun.Someone ran to his defense later. Where do you think he stands on that Has he ever stated? In my opinion Doheny vs Hoffman is the blind leading the blind. Owens vs either is a Owens victory.. Come on GOP get with it and get some decent canidates

So, you forgot to tells us about the bill from Grays and some junk mail, both of which I find more interesting than Mr. Doheny's campaign.
Unless, of course, Doheny wants to talk about what he will do to address the Democrats' plans to turn our beautiful region into a giant industrial wind complex.
Plans which will threaten home values, seasonal businesses and jobs. Plans which already have created social problems beyond repair and stifled real estate sales and growth along the Lake and river shore. - March 27, 2010 at 10:42 AM
Doheny owns a gun. He can't be anti-gun. That is more Hoffman blather.
- March 27, 2010 at 10:48 AM
I have not formed an opinion of the wind mills yet, but I did see them along the shoreline in Western NY and they kind of pretty and completely quiet. Are there studies that indicate a decline in prop values after installation? I really don't know and am asking honestly. They were not bad like I expected but I want to learn more.
- March 27, 2010 at 10:51 AM
1048. I,m not intersted in whether he owns a gun or not.. I,m sure he owns as many as needed to give an impression.. Whats his views on gun ownership and the right to carry one. Does he support gun control and if so what kind of controls. Someone wrote yesterday he duck hunts. WoW.. Thats not the answer we want. We would like his views on ownership, registration, hunting our rights vs government intrusion.
- March 27, 2010 at 10:58 AM
Wind mills destroy property values on the waterfront. Has anyone built a new home near the Wolfe Island project lately, or sold and exisitng home at a profit? The answer is NO. Transmission lines in small lake front communities are even worse. Wind is bad for the power industry - numerous studies now demonstrating how they raise power prices for everyone and are actually contributing to more use of fossil fule because of the intermittancy of wind. Power output changes as cubed function of wind speed - meaning it goes up and down fast and utilities have to cycle fossil fuel plants to make up the slack. Wind projects are purely money grabs for politicaly connected investors. Thanks a lot to Barry Bumsby and Ken Blankenbrain.
- March 27, 2010 at 11:00 AM
The issue of guns is important to me also. Because he owns a gun dosnt make him pro-gun.. Let him openly state his position. He also has some very strange positions on other important issues. The wind pwr is an important issue that needs a straight answer. Up here we need to know how he would vote about our dependancy on foreign oil. My understanding is that we have plenty of domestic oil readily available and only the lobby of the conservationists prevent it from being tapped.. We need direct answers. I hear he is very strong aginst gays in the military yet there is a lot of comment about his orientation. This dosnt matter nor should it be an issue about his leadership but rather if he is a hipocrite or not.
- March 27, 2010 at 11:30 AM
Mayor...what did the letter say?
- March 27, 2010 at 11:57 AM
I love how you people operate- "I heard that a guy who knows my cousins daughter said that this guy thinks guns are going to be taken away by some guy, so it must be Doheny."
just because he hasn't had the specific conversation at your house make him an anti?
Well, I had the conversation with him. I am a staunch second amendment supporter. It is a political deal breaker for me. If a candidate is not 100% in favor of the second amendment as the PEOPLES right to bear arms, I will not vote for them.
I don't care if you hunt, dont care if you own pistols or rifles, trap shoot, duck hunt, deer hunt, plink, or just keep a shotgun under your bed for protection, All forms of legal gun ownership and useage are alright in my book.
Mr. Doheny is absolutely 100% on the side of the second amendment, period. Those of you who posted here out of honest concern have nothing to worry about.
Those of you who posted just to put out false information should get a life. - March 27, 2010 at 12:00 PM
Hey RWiley-
Not for nothin here, but most everybody who lives more than 700 feet from the shoreline of the river in Cape Vincent doesn't give a crap about your friggin windmills.
You are like some idiot savant with a compulsive disorder who just HAS to write constantly about windmills.
How about this? SHUT UP! Nobody and I mean NOBODY gives a crap about you, your windmills or your crappy litle village.
All you want to do is whine and try to make your problems everybody else's. Well you know what? We don't care. And if they come to our town and want to build windmills, we'll deal with it. But we'll do it without your overreaching, never-ending line of BS. - March 27, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Heh 1200.. You dont understand.. I want him to answer the questions Hes probably paid you to give the proper answers.. Cant he take a simple stance.. I,m for it Im against it... Im for it with this exception.. How could you know anymore than us what the amswer is unless your a person paid to give his answers.. If he cant take a stance or if he needs someone to answer all of his questions we need someone else in Washington. So far all Ive heard or read he has said appears to be hot air like Hoffman except he does differ on some opinions..
- March 27, 2010 at 1:11 PM
1:11pm - I am confused by your position. The noon guy said he spoke to him and got comfortable with his position on gun control. Why do you then assume that Doheny has paid him? That is a big leap. There has been an adequate forum for the candidates to express their views on a series of topics. Silence does not mean that the candidate does not support your view. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, but from the conversation the noon poster had with him, it sounds like Doheny is supporter of the 2nd Amendment. If you doubt it than talk to the candidate yourself. There are plenty of opportunities. The last thing you should do is assume Doheny has an opinion that differs with yours when you clearly have not done anything to try to learn the truth and clearly have no idea.
- March 27, 2010 at 1:26 PM
Both Republican nominees for Governor are far from perfect on 2nd Amendment Rights and they support a woman's right to choose...Go figure?
- March 27, 2010 at 1:44 PM
Who is the noon guy.Is it him, or a paid supporter, or you.I want to learn the truth about him on the issues from him in public statements. Its really not hard to say yes or say no.. Is it>I would like him on record with some substance. He has taken a position on some issues and while I differ with some of them he is on record and I commend him for that.. Unlike Mr. Lazio running around making false promises when they are impossible to keep.. Its one thing to believe in something and and stick to your belief if it differs to popular opinion. I totally agree wit his position on Gays in the military however my beliefs are biased and would be considered discrimanatory. Are his beliefs that firm that they could be discriminatory and if they are should he be running for US congress. If he discriminates against gays how do we know he wont discriminate against blacks, jew, even women all considered minorities.
- March 27, 2010 at 1:57 PM
It's funny Kristen G. said she had a gun under her bed to appeal to the redneck crowd, while in New York she claims the opposite, I find it interesting I can't purchase a 30 rd. magazine or clip for my mini-14 but the cops and military can have one.

I heard and watched more from the Hoffman, Maroun and Dohney "debate" for the TEA party in Plattsburgh:
It is very odd how those three and the GOP in general all hate "mandates" for things like health care for all ... but they have no qualms about clinging to:
1. Mandating English as the "official" language of the U.S. (Psst. It already is). (Hint: if you don't want immigrants speaking Chinese or Korean or Spanish or Arabic or Hindi, then don't allow so many in who can't speak English).
2. Mandating health care rules for women and their health care needs and concerns.
3. Mandating that the Constitution be changed for every social issue they deem "right" i.e., to protect the flag from being burned (Hint: burning the flag is the accepted method for a worn out and tattered flag).
4. Mandating that we all have the "right to carry a gun, even strapped to our leg" and even at a public event or in church (like in Texas).
etc. etc.
Those three lack strong leadership and knowledge skills.
But, for what they lack in those areas, they have plenty in the red meat, divisive, and off the charts sound byte area. - March 27, 2010 at 3:58 PM
DAN...shut up!!! No one wants to hear your negative comments anymore. If you really believe people care what you have to say start your own blog. You sound like an old tired wanna be. JUST GO AWAY!

The fact that the three Republican Candidates of the 23rd Congressional District stood together in a Public Forum is Light Years ahead of the 2009 Special Election.
This is a good start for such a large district.
The fact that our local newspaper followed the Plattsburgh event with a reporter is another positive indicator.
To those who want the facts, attend a candidate's event and find out first hand.
There is plenty of time to size up the candidates before the Primary, and might even reduce some of the the bellyaching and hearsay that is posted on this site........ - March 27, 2010 at 5:25 PM

"You are like some idiot savant with a compulsive disorder who just HAS to write constantly about windmills. "
Actually, anon. 12:10.
There are millions of people around the world who care about the impacts of windmills. They have created serious problems for hundreds of communities. Billions of dollars of your tax dollars are going to windmills and 73% of that money is going to europe to create jobs and opportunities in the European Union.
Coalitions have been formed from Wayne County to St. Lawrence County for discussing and making recommendations on how to handle the local impacts of wind. Seasonal businesses and jobs from Oswego County to St. Lawrence County are threatened. According to a Jefferson County legislator, 40.5 % of the tax base will be affected.
Also, your hard working Jefferson County Board of Legislators discovered these past months that wind is a hot and difficult issue to handle and we are just getting started here in the North Country. Ask any one of them if it is an issue that should be ignored.
If you live in Jefferson County, your legislators just gave a developer a 53 million dollar PILOT. And that developer was the first of as many as 8 other projects to come to Jefferson Co. JCIDA got over a million for arranging one deal alone and it came from your pocket.
Wind development and its impacts on property values, businesses and tourism will be a political issue and many will care as we approach these elections.
You can crap away your time talking about guns, gays and abortions during the election season, or you can address a real issue facing our taxpayers right here in the 48 and the 23.
Wind development. - March 27, 2010 at 6:11 PM
If Doheny or any non- incumbent does not discuss the impacts of wind on property values and its threat to tourism then they have a nothing new to bring to the campaign. Like wiley said, guns, gays and abortions have been beat to death.

Wind power is a big issue for St. Lawrence, too.
Remember it was us that have been screwed over and over with promises of cheap power and opportunities from the Seaway that never came about. Wind development is about to do the same with even a bigger mess and even more expensive power. - March 28, 2010 at 9:53 AM
I like Dan's comments and don't see any reason why he shouldn't be able to speak negatively about the Republican party and their candidates. Most of them do want to make what they consider progressive changes to the Constitution to ensure that their values are the law of the land. It's in their party platform.
- March 28, 2010 at 10:04 AM
Freedom of speech is important but Dan is SO misinformed. He makes broad accusations without a hint of truth behind any of it. And despite his ignorance on the issues and candidates, he continues to say the same thing again and again and again. For those of us who read this blog regularly it just gets old. I am fully supportive of him starting his own blog so those who want to read his commentary, informed or otherwise, can. But for those of us in the republican party who come to this blog as one of many sources of information, his words are simply in the way.

11:24 - Ding! Wrong on several counts. Your view is wrong. I am not misinformed and I almost always post accurate info and not opinion. When it's my opinion I say so, but I don't use my opinion as passing for the truth ...
I have several blogs. You are free to visit them if you like. Most of the stuff I post there are facts and can easily be traced.

Anyone who's ever been out on a bike path or trail knows the hazard of approaching another runner who's wearing earphones. You know you should announce that you're passing them, but you know they can't hear you. As a cyclist, I always shout out "passing on your left" or even just a friendly "hello" to let someone know I'm behind them. Lately, though, whenever you see the almost ubiquitous white headphone cable, you know it's gonna be a crapshoot whether or not they'll hear you. Just the other day, I was on a bike path, shouted out a warning, to no avail, and sure enough, the guy I was trying to pass decided to turn around right in front of me. We missed colliding by inches. Wouldn't it be marvelous if there was a way for people to listen to their tunes, but also hear the world around them?
AIRbudz is a new product designed to do just that. AIRbudz are not headphones. They are merely eartips designed to replace the tips that came with your in-ear earphones (they fit many common models), but in this case they're whittled away to just a skeleton of the original design. (If you're having trouble visualizing this, check out the video overviews.) They allow almost all of the ambient sound around you in, while still letting you enjoy music or audiobooks. The creator of AIRbudz, Tammy Erdel, recently completed a successful round of fundraising for her invention on Kickstarter (which has been a terrific place for innovative products to receive funding based on an idea, with ordinary people turning into backers for a product they think stands a chance to make it big)
Knowing I ride my bike quite often, they sent me a pair to try. I was impressed with how easy they were to swap out with the standard tips on a few pairs of my in-ear monitors. I was afraid that they might be too fragile, but they were substantial enough. I checked them out in my listening room at home — and I'll have to be honest and say that I was not impressed with the sound. Let's face it — in-ear 'phones are designed to have a tight seal in your ear canal in order to create any bass at all, and obviously that depends on their being fitted with a solid eartip. I tried them with three different models – two high-end Audio-Technicas and a mid-range iFrogz pair. They all had a similar thin, bright sound.
But fidelity aside, out on the bike, with wind noise and all, I appreciated their benefits. I was able to bring along my favorite riding songs, but I was also able to hear the people I was riding with talk — even two guys riding in front of me. I heard another cyclist announce he was passing me, and I could hear a truck coming up behind me. I was also able to hear my own voice when I called out to a runner that I was coming up behind her.
Honestly, on the bike, you really need to stay focused on the outside environment, and not get lost in your music. Music on the bike is a motivator; and that should be all. They sounded adequate with an audiobook, so maybe you can get lost in your favorite novel next time you're training for a marathon.
There are certainly times in life when you should have the best possible listening devices available to you, but there are also times that safety should override your need for sound quality. AIRbudz is perfect for those times.

CSS Tables
What are peoples thoughts on CSS Tables? They seem easy enough to use. Is anyone using them yet?when you say CSS tables, what exactly do you mean? Tables styled with CSS or maybe using the display option? And what are you using the tables for? lolI feel turned off by the whole idea of them right now, but I'll need to let it simmer for a while and do a lot more hands on testing. The big question to me is: why?
So you can now code with a bunch of divs and have it behave just like a table. Why not just use table tags instead? Because they are div's that is somehow better code? It's still source-order-dependent and requires you to re-define all the display properties of all those divs. Where is the true advantage?
As an aside, they aren't supported in IE 7, so it'll be many many years before they can be widely used anyway (not that that should be an argument against them).Oh so it is the whole turning a div into a table with CSS thing. Yea I don't really get it either... tables already exist, divs do a fine general structure job as they are... as far as I can see its a little redundant. Maybe I'm missing something...The problem for me with using CSS-Tables is the extra mark up required to make it work. It's something I'd played around with long before Rachel Andrew's book was released and I felt it too big a compromise to add divs to make a layout behave how I'd like it to, particularly when less divs and a few floats worked just as well. I was intrigued at how Rachel Andrew was going to get around this code-bloat problem, so I bought the book. And she didn't solve the problem as far as I'm concerned. Her code is as bloated as mine was - nowhere near the level of using actual table tags of course, but bloated never the less. For me, applying purely stylistic markup is undesirable, particularly when identical results can be achieved with fewer and more meaningful HTML elements. So for the time being, I don't use the CSS table property."chriscoyier" said:The big question to me is: why?
To appease those with an unyielding hatred for tables... and so they can say "I never use tables." Oh the world and their love of extremes. ;)
If I've got a contact form or datasheet that would easily be done in a table, I use a table. No need for tag-discrimination.

It's no longer enough to update your relationship status on your Facebook page. Now, you have to wear it on your sleeve ... literally. Buump Relationship Status bracelets, new to the U.S. this spring, have already made a successful splash at New York City Fashion Week, according to the company's press release:
"Targeting 13 to 35 year olds, these pliable silicon bracelets come in 10 lively colors of two different types: one that defines your current relationship status, and one that states what you're looking for. "So, for example, you can wear a two-bracelet combo that shows that you're 'in an open relationship' and looking for 'whatever I can get,' or 'married' but looking for 'fun.'"
The company admits that the bracelets were "inspired by the Facebook relationship status," and fans include reality star Kristin Cavallari and designer Betsey Johnson. So, would you wear your relationship status on your sleeve... or rather, your wrist?

Quantifying alignment units with keystroke dataCarl, Michael (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper discusses a method to triangulate process and product data. We suggest converting Translog data into a relational format which contains both process and product data. We outline how this representation allows us to retrieve and correlate the various dimensions of the data more easily. The concept of Alignment Unit (AU) is introduced and contrasted with that of Translation Unit (TU). While AUs refer to translation equivalences in the source and target texts of the product data, TUs refer to cognitive entities that can be observed in the process data. With an (almost) exhaustive fragmentation of the source and target texts into AUs, we are able to distribute and allocate the entire set of keystroke data to appropriate AUs. Using the properties of the keystroke data, AUs are quantified in a novel way which enables us to visualise and investigate the structure of translation production on a fine-grained scale.

Abstract: The concept and phenomenon of trust and its relation to leadership has recently come into focus. What role does trust play? Can trust be created strategically? Questions like these are often raised. How we conceive of and conceptualize trust is not as often discussed. Among those conceptualizations of trust available are those understanding trust as normatively value laden and those attempting to understand trust as normatively neutral. In this article I will attempt to challenge the idea that trust as a concept and phenomenon meaningfully can be understood as symmetrical and normatively neutral. One need not continue the phrase "trust is good," with "control is better," as e.g., Stalin did. Let us stop with "trust is good," and look at the implications of this evaluation. It is my conviction that trust is normally something which is normatively desirable, and that trust is a concept which cannot be exempted from a discussion of value judgment. This is perhaps because trust as a phenomenon is good in itself, even before it becomes good for something else. This point of view has consequences for understanding trust as connected to a systematic form of observation which is more or less directly claimed to be normatively neutral.i Such a view on analyzing trust presupposes that trust and mistrust are symmetrical and not so different. Such a point of view makes it possible for the terminology to maintain its normative neutrality (Luhmann 1979). Understanding trust by defining it as a conception characterized by normative neutrality is in thesystem theoretical universe interconnected with the fundamental premise that functionality and functional self-stabilization are more important than validity.The assumption of neutrality is also interconnected with the idea that functionality is normatively neutral and is not in itself attributed value judgments. Mistrust becomes, in principle, as equally good a form of observation as trust – or more explicitly stated, the question of good becomes irrelevant in the systems theoretical universe – all that is relevant is that both observations claim to be able to reduce complexity. It is this viewpoint on value related neutrality and concept related symmetry I wish to subject to a critical evaluation. At the same time I am interested in showing that one can in fact say something about trust and trust production by exposing some of the conditions which lay at the foundation for declaring trust or mistrust. My argument against the understanding of trust as value neutral is divided into five sections wherein I address different aspects of trust as a concept and phenomenon. In the first section, I address the trust concept's connection with other related concepts, and show the inherent attribution of value within the concept. In the following section, I show the complexity which arises in and with that trust both can be a precondition for and a product of social processes. The creation of trust can be both the intentionally intended and functionally unintended; for example, trust can be something that is desirable, but can arise without anyone having planned it. In the third section, I argue that there is a difference between having trust in a phenomenon and having trust in one's knowledge of the same phenomenon. The fourth section addresses the question in relation to the trust phenomena's strategic flexibility of form for example, the idea that one with leadership tools can consciously bring forth trust. In the conclusion, the question about trust communication is addressed. In this section I argue that trust is positively value-laden, becausesincerity is a functional and pragmatic condition for successful communication which is oriented towards understanding.

Bernhard Nielsen, Bo (København, 2001)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Although trust has been given much attention in alliance literature as an explanatory factor, little research has been devoted to defining and operationalizing trust. Trust is more or less seen as a magic ingredient, poorly understood much like the concept of luck, and usually attributed ex post; successful alliances seem to involve trust; unsuccessful alliances do not. The extant literature has treated trust as a residual term for the complex social-psychological processes necessary for social action to occur. Since trust is a social phenomenon, both national culture and institutional arrangements have an impact on trust and the perception of trust. Hence, this paper develops a conceptual model, based on a structural equation approach, for empirically exploring the role played by trust in the process of learning in international strategic alliances. The model distinguishes between pre-alliance formation factors and post-alliance formation factors in an attempt to respond to calls for research examining the evolution of trust and its impact on international collaborative relationships. The determinants of trust in international strategic alliances are examined and a series of testable propositions are derived to guide future empirical investigation.

Bordum, Anders (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this articlei I will argue that trust is a fundamental and critical concept because trust is the direct or transcendental constitutive ground of most social phenomena, as well as applicable as an operational method in critical theory. There are two different but overlapping positions on trust I address in this article. One is the standpoint we find in business strategy, that trust is naïve to show, and control or contracts are presumed better. In the strategy game the idealistic good guys seems to lose (Arrow 1974), (Williamson 1975). The other position is the position taken by systems theory where trust is treated as if it was a value-neutral system-internal decision, which presupposes that trust and mistrust are symmetrically interrelated functionally (Luhmann 1979). In his early book Trust and Power, Niklas Luhmann seems to agree with the vision guiding my general argument that there is a need for clear directions and specifications in organisations and systems as to whether trust or distrust is appropriate and rational (Luhmann 1979:93). Yet I challenge these positions described above with an alternative understanding inspired by Jürgen Habermas which can be applied as an operational strategy for analyzing trust in its' empirical and social distribution, without ignoring the questions of validity in real social settings where trust is actively playing a direct or indirect constitutional role in the foundation of most interactions, organisations, institutions, and societies.

On the production of the stress-fit, self-managing employeePedersen, Michael (København, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Routine work‐process, lack of self‐management, and long work‐hours have traditionally been the main topics of discussion within the occupational stress literature, constituting the primary factors that make people breakdown and burn out. But within the last couple of years, this discussion has expanded its focus from issues concerning the disciplinary work‐space. Increasing attention is now being placed on the problems related to the burgeoning interest in employee empowerment and self‐management in contemporary work‐life. In short, how stress relates to self‐management. These working conditions, which put a great deal of emphasis on the subjectivity of the employee and the ability of the employee to self‐manage in a pursuit of an organization's goals, are thus no longer regarded as something that decreases stress, but rather as something that evokes it. However, as this thesis argues, one can regard stress as more than a crisis we are faced with in our work‐life. It is also an element that co‐produces what it is to be a efficient employee‐subject within this work‐life. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's ontology of flows and machines, this sketches out how stress among self‐managing employees, and in particular the manner in which stress is reduced to a matter of individual coping, can be viewed as an organising process that separates, joins and codes the ontological fabric of our lives. In this regard, certain modes of existence centred on stress issues and the coping strategies of individuals are themselves produced as an individual responsibility for maximizing one's own productivity as a self‐managing and committed employee. As I will argue, the production of this mode of existence of the employee‐subject revolves around the assumption of an employee subject that is able to tune its feelings, desires and thoughts in to a life of productivity without breaking‐down their body and soul. In fact, the potential break‐down of stress should act as an internal limit for personal productivity, as a way of rebooting to an ever more efficient self‐management. All in all, we can therefore talk of a production‐process revolving around the presumption of an always fitter, happier, more productive employee. The questions raised in the investigation of this particular form of production of subjectivity are: what notions of subjectivity as a productive resource are we presented with when not only self‐management but also the management of the stress this self‐management might entail becomes an underlying foundation for a flexible and efficient organization? What can an employee think, do and hope for under such circumstances? What are the dynamics that drive such a notion of subjectivity? And with what necessity does this notion set itself forth? All in all, the claim made in the thesis is that for this fitter, happier, and more productive employee, dealing with oneself and stress are primarily matters of individual responsibility and personal development. But by turning stress into matters of individual responsibility, happiness and productivity, one thereby misses some of the underlying ontological processes working within selfmanagement theories and practices. These processes are pre‐personal or preindividual in the sense that they outline ways we can be produced as individual subjects. These not only produce stress as a possibility for any particular individual to assume, they also convert stress‐issues amongst employees into matters of being unable to adequately contribute towards the organization, leading in turn towards an understanding of these issues as something best handled if employees can improve their own coping abilities. If they can better their own self. We can hence talk of a commitment machine that produces a zone of indiscernability between the subjectivity of the employee and the efficiency of the organization connecting up with a coping machine that frames problems within this zone as a matter of personal problems regarding one's subjectivity. The coping machine serves to reinforce the production of the self‐managing employee by making the employees themselves each responsible for learning to take control of their own passion for working in the organization. The employee has to be passionate and committed, of course; but they now also have to distance themselves from this passion and commitment in order to perform well at their tasks. These passions are simultaneously considered both essential and problematic: the employee is both part of an ideal state and a pathological condition. The coping machine makes this pathological condition into a problem of personal commitment rather than making it a task for questioning how the production of the pre‐individual zone of indiscernability between the work and the employees' subjectivity is itself set up by the commitment machine. In other words, the coping machine produces a mode of existence wherein stress results from an overemphasis, on the part of the employees, upon the commitment towards their work and from a failure to deploy the most appropriate selfmanagement technologies. The thesis can thus be said to be guided by three ambitions in its unfolding of this tune in, break‐down and reboot motion. First of all, to give an account of the inherent modes of existence produced within the contemporary organizational ideal of the committed self‐managing employee. This is done through a reading of various discussions about the management of employee subjectivity ranging from the self‐leadership literature focusing on self‐management as intrinsically motivating and enjoyable through to discussions of incitements to self‐manage and commit as a subtle ways to encroach and exploit the employee's personal subjectivity to contemporary discussions of the new nature of capitalism and its focus on the active living forms of knowledge as the key to value‐production. The second ambition is to address a prevalent paradigm within the occupational stress and stress‐management literature, namely that of coping, as a reinforcement of this demand for a committed and self managing employee. This is done through a reading of some of the most influential scholars within stress and coping and best‐sellers on stress‐management. The third and final ambition is to describe this movement of reinforcement, or tune in, break‐down and reboot movement, through the Deleuzian notion of machines that in various dynamic ways produce and regulate ways of being or modes of existence. Consequently, it will be suggested that the nuts and bolts making up the relation between self‐management and stress is part of a mode of existence that sets up certain expectations about the problem of stress and the enterprise of dealing with stress as an individual productivity and enjoyment issue: being fitter, happier, and more productive rather than being regarded as part of the pre‐individual collective endeavor that constitutes us as these very subjects. Today in self‐management these machines of commitment and coping might produce us as a fitter, happier, and more productive subject. But this very machinic production that unleashes and confines our subjectivity as employees depends on an extremely unstable pre‐individual force. Tapping into this force always means that the foundation of these machines are themselves vulnerable and fragile, or as Deleuze might put it: we do not know yet what we are capable of as this fitter, happier, more productive employee, we do not know were the preindividual forces that animates the machines of commitment and coping might bring us, so we must tune in, breakdown, and reboot to find out. Besides a short introduction and a first chapter that highlight some of the most important notions in the thesis, such as self‐management, stress, subjectivity, modes of existence, pre‐individual forces and social machines, the thesis consists of three parts. The first part running from chapter two through five, is called Machines and Maps. Here I discuss the concept of machines as it is developed by Deleuze and Guattari. Of particular interest is their notion of a social machine. Also crucial is what a machinic approach in general implies when analyzing an object of research and how this approach is utilized to understand the production of subjectivity in contemporary work‐life. The second part Self‐management and the Commitment‐machine runs from chapter six to eleven. Here I outline two machinic indices of a self‐management, namely the 'subjectivity' and 'commitment' and the machinery that drives them; the commitment machine. In the third and last part Stress and the Coping‐machine, which runs from chapter twelve to fifteen, I shift my focus towards the two machinic indices of stress: 'the somatic subject' and 'the coping processes'. I end up with a description of the coping machinery that drives these indices and how this machinery connects up with the commitment machine resulting in the production of the stress‐fit self‐managing employee.

Abstract: Turisme regnes som et af verdens største erhverv. UNWTO, der er turismens hovedorganisa-tion globalt har opgjort antal ansatte til 235 mio., dvs. 9,2 % af alle job, og turismens andel af verdens bruttonationalprodukt (BNP) til 9,7 %. Turismen fortsætter med at vokse, og finanskrise og økonomisk krise, askesky mv. har alene betydet kortvarige afvigelser fra væksttrenden og enkelte destinationsændringer. Europa modtager langt de fleste turister, og turismen er derfor et meget stort erhverv i de fleste EU-lande. Fra EU Kommissionens side er der nu - siden turisme med Lissabon traktaten er blevet et EU anliggende - pr. 30. juni 2010 udformet et mål om, at EU skal være verdens turismedestination nr. 1 og en politik, der omfatter 21 punkter. Dette er yderligere fyldt op med en detaljering fra 2011, se venligst Lise Lyck "En handlingsplan for dansk turisme" samt opdateringer på internettet. Dansk turisme har desværre haft betydelige problemer med konkurrenceevnen og har som det eneste EU land gennem en årrække har haft en aftagende markedsandel i udenlandske overnatninger. Det er baggrunden for, at erhvervets aktører og nogle politikere har arbejdet for at erhvervet kan blive konkurrencedygtigt og bidrage mere til at skabe økonomisk vækst, velfærd og arbejdspladser i Danmark.

A study of Swedish biotech firms' international expansionLindstrand, Angelika; Melen, Sara; Rovira, Emilia (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The effects of using personal networks have in recent years become a topic of interest in the research area that focuses on the internationalization process of the firm. Few studies have, however, used the concept of social capital when studying the internationalization process of high-tech SMEs. In this explorative case study, ten Swedish SMEs in the biotech business have been examined in order to see how they use social capital for accessing the critical resources that they need in their internationalization process. The results of the study indicate that the usefulness of social capital changes during this process and that the wrong perception of social capital's usefulness can lead to unsuccessful internationalization.

Et studie af 10-12 årige danske børns brug af internettet, opfattelse og forståelse af markedsføring og forbrugRasmussen, Jeanette (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne afhandlingen har haft til formål at udvide den viden, vi har om markedsføring rettet mod børn. Børn i dag lever i en mere kommercialiseret barndom, børn betragtes i højere grad end tidligere som selvstændige forbrugere, markedsføringsmetoder på internettet er karakteriseret ved at være mere sofistikerede og mindre gennemskuelige, og der er stor markedsføringsmæssig fokus på yngre børn, og specielt de såkaldte tweens (defineres typisk som de 8-12 årige). Det har derfor været afhandlingens sigte at undersøge i et hverdagsperspektiv, hvordan 10-12 åriges brug af internettet, deres oplevelse og forståelse af markedsføring på internettet er relateret til deres forbrug (køb og forhold til mærker). Det er tweens oplevelse og forståelse af medier og forbrug, som er i fokus. Afhandlingens teoretiske grundlag er tvær-disciplinært, og derfor er relevante dele fra barndomsforskningen, medieforskningen og forbrugerforskningen blevet inddraget. Metodisk er der brugt en triangulering af empirisk materiale, da dette er specielt godt i forhold til undersøgelser om børn. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8563 Files in this item: 1

French National Habitus and the Rejection of American PowerFich, Christian (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Antiamerikanisme er et emne, der har tiltrukket sig stigende opmærksomhed gennem det seneste årti. Terrorangrebene den 11. september 2001 var udtryk for et ekstremt had mod USA, og mange amerikanere følte sig efterfølgende kaldet til at spørge ‖Hvorfor hader de os så meget?‖ (Zakaria 2001). Terrorangrebene fik et efterspil, der afslørede, at det kunne være nok så væsentligt også at spørge ‖Hvorfor er vi blevet så upopulære, selv blandt vores venner?‖ (Moïsi 2009). Forberedelserne til invasionen af Irak i foråret 2003 tydeliggjorde, at der var stor uenighed om mål og midler mellem USA og dets europæiske allierede for så vidt angår linjen over for Irak. Særlig ét europæisk land blev fremstillet som repræsentant for europæisk antiamerikanisme: Frankrig. Frankrig blev i amerikanske medier såvel som af ledende amerikanske politikere beskyldt for at agere spydspids for en politisk orkestreret modstand mod USA's udenrigspolitik, som væsentligst skulle være motiveret af en iboende fransk tendens til antiamerikanisme.

How Firms Can Make Credible Commitments That Make Opportunistic Managerial Intervention Less LikelyFoss, Kirsten; Foss, Nicolai J.; Vázquez-Vicente, Xosé H. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract We discuss and empirically examine a firm-level equivalent of the ancient problem of "tying the King's hands," namely how to maximize managerial intervention for "good cause," while avoiding intervention for "bad cause." Managers may opportunistically intervene when such intervention produces private benefits. Overall firm performance is harmed as a result, because opportunistic managerial intervention harms employee motivation. The central point of the paper is that various mechanisms and factors, such as managers staking their personal reputation, employees controlling important assets, strong trade unions, corporate culture, etc. may function as constraints on managerial proclivities to opportunistically intervene. Thus, firms can make credible commitments that check managerial proclivities to opportunistically intervene. We derive 5 hypotheses from these ideas, and test them, using path-analysis, on a rich dataset, based on 329 firms in the Spanish food and electric/electronic industries.

Abstract: This paper develops a general equilibrium search and matching model where an underground economy co-exists along with the formal part of the economy. In analyzing how tax and punishment policies a¤ect labour market performance, we find that punishment of infor- mal sector activities induce workers and firms to reallocate towards the formal sector. However, more importantly, we find that this real- location tends to improve e¢ ciency in search, reduce the overall wage pressure, and reduce actual unemployment.

February – March 2013
Hiking doesn't have to stop in the winter. If you enjoy visiting wild places you'll be thrilled to know that snowshoeing can be a fun, energizing and beautiful way to experience the marvels of backcountry winters. The relative ease of snowshoeing allows folks to venture into the winter wilderness without the required years of ski and snowboard training. Let MAS guide you efficiently and comfortably through spectacular winter scenery and experience for yourself the thrills of backcountry snowshoeing.
Add some pizazz to your winter and visit Bear Valley for this fun and challenging backcountry snowshoe adventure. Stomp across snow covered ridges and bowls and soak in the splendors of the alpine environment. Along the way your guide will share natural history and backcountry travel tips. This trip typically covers 4-6 miles through a variety of terrain in a non-motorized area along the Mokelumne Wilderness. The vistas are world-class so don't miss out on this opportunity to explore a winter wonderland with MAS.
Do you have a desire to skin up, ski down and then do it again? If so, the Bear Valley Adventure Race is your venue for thrill and skill in both resort and backcountry terrain*. We'll offer two different courses of vertical challenges for novice and advanced racers. We're broadening this "randonee" race to include all hedonists: alpine tourers, telemarkers and splitboarders.
Bear Valley Cross Country will host the 40th Annual Bjornloppet XC Ski Race and Festival on March 9th and March 10th, 2013! This is one of the longest running ski races in the west and it is open to all ages! In addition, the California Senior Winter Games will be held that same weekend. Bjornloppet athletes age 50 and up can participate in the Bjornloppet races and use their race results for both the Bjornloppet and for the California Senior Winter Games gold, silver and bronze medals.
