Outdoor Planter Wall: Fab Modern Porch Design
In a busy, urban setting of this Upper Westside co-op a former superintendent's apartment was turned into a modern oasis for the Zizmor family. A clever means of screening off their open plan living space from neighbors in close proximity, while forgoing traditional window coverings. Rather, they have spider plants, herbs and English ivy to help maintain a sense of privacy.
The connection made between indoors and out with the spectacular porch concept was created for them by Elwell Katzander of Mingo Design. An outdoor dining area is shielded by the plant boxes and the expanse of space is maximized by continuing the horizontal pattern of ipe wood indoors.
There is much more to this gorgeous renovation than the jealousy-inducing porch. Read the full article at Dwell.

Guardian Avionics will launch its newest product, the Aero 454, at this week's AirVenture in Oshkosh.
The Aero 454 receives data from your airplane's Garmin GPS units (430, 530, 650, 750, G900, G1000) and re-transmits it simultaneously to as many as three iPad/tablet devices held by pilots or passengers.
It can now also transmit Standby frequencies on the SL30/SL40 from your Flight-guide IEFB app Airport Pages.
The new Aero 454 is an FAA/TSO certified product. It can reference locations, maps, flight plans from the panel mounted GPS's, approaches, departures, and much more on your iPad/tablet, according to company officials. "You will no longer lose GPS signal because of banking or a heated windshield," officials said in a prepared statement.
The unit will communicate with any app, including: Flight Guide, ForeFlight, WingX, Jeppesen, Garmin Connect, and others for GPS location, officials add. When integrated with Flight Guide IEFB app, the user will have access to GPS location and flight plans as well as have the ability to change radio frequencies on the SL30 directly from the app.
The Aero 454 (with CO detector) mounts easily in most panels and will enhance your WAAS GPS capabilities when compared to portable Bluetooth receivers, according to company officials. Aero 454 is factory installed in all new Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft models. Guardian Avionics CO Detectors are also standard on Cessna 172, 182, 206 and Diamond Aircraft.

I own nothing. JK Rowling is the genius behind Harry
Potter. I just borrowed the characters for a while.
A Haunted Halloween Kiss
October 31, 1492 Northern England
Sir Nicholas de Mimsy
Porpington, you are found guilty of the crime of sorcery, said the
Magistrate. You have used your evil powers to ensnare and bewitch the Lady
Aisling. For your crimes you shall be beheaded. Have you any last requests?
I have not bewitched the fair Aisling. I love her deeply, and if I must die, I
wish that I might do so with the taste of her lips on mine, cried Sir
Nicholas. A gasp rose up from the crowd at the audaciousness of his request.
Indeed, said a beautiful red headed woman dressed in gray. Lord Nicholas
has not bewitched me, and I would honor his last request.
Never shall it be done, said the magistrate. Even still, you are under his
spell. When he is dead, the spell shall be broken.
If you murder my love, I swear from this day forth, I shall never speak
another word, in this life or the next, until I can grant his last wish. Wait
for me my love, for I shall join you in death, cried Lady Aisling.
The first blow was dealt to Sir
Nicholas, and while it killed him, it failed to remove his head from his body.
The magistrate ordered the executioner to continue, but to no avail. Forty-four
blows later, and Sir Nicholass head was still attached to his body. The
magistrate declared it the most evil type of sorcery, and ordered that his body
be buried in an unmarked grave, on unconsecrated ground. True to her word, Lady
Aisling refused to speak again. She lived on in silence for six long years. On
October 31, 1498, she threw herself from a cliff into the sea, and her body was
never found.
James and Lily
The Great Hall was awash in the
light of hundreds of jack o lanterns floating in the air. The long house
tables groaned under the weight of the amazing feast. James Potter helped
himself to another slice of roast beef, and speared a Yorkshire pudding with
his fork. As he ate the succulent food, he watched his three best friends plan
yet another prank. Normally, hed be right in the middle of the fray, but not
tonight. Tonight he had something special to do. A flash of red caught his eye,
and he watched Lily enter the Great Hall. She crossed in front of the teachers
tables and paused to speak for a moment with Professor McGonagall. When she
finished her conversation, she slid into her place next to James at the long
Gryffindor table.
What took you so long Lily?
asked James. If you were much longer, those three gits would have eaten all
the food.
We three gits would never deprive the beautiful Lily Evans of even a morsel of
food, said Sirius Black. The house elves are always happy to bring more, he
finished with a laugh.
Go on with whatever prank youre planning, said James, And leave us alone.
What? You arent going to help us? asked Remus Lupin reaching for a slice of
apple pie.
Not tonight, said James, looking at Lily who was talking to Bill Weasley who
was in his first year at Hogwarts. Ive
got something far more important planned for tonight. Remus gave him a knowing look, and
then looked at Lily. James flushed, and Remus smiled and turned back to
continue planning with Sirius and Peter Pettigrew.
When the protracted meal was
finished, most of the students remained in the Great Hall where the staff had
arranged a typical Muggle Halloween party. James took Lily by the hand and led
her to a secluded area of the castle. Floating above them, unnoticed by the
young couple were Sir Nicholas, the Gryffindor ghost, and the Grey Lady, the
ghost of Ravenclaw House. James sat Lily on a stone bench and knelt down beside
Lily Evans, I love you more than life itself, and I cannot imagine living my
life without you in it. Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife? he
asked proffering a diamond ring in his hand.
Oh James, whispered Lily. I can think of nothing that would bring me greater
joy and happiness. A tear slipped down her
cheek as James slipped the ring on her finger. In the distance, a clock struck
midnight, signaling the end of Halloween. Above James and Lily, Sir Nicholas
and the Grey Lady floated away, their faces wreathed in disappointment.
Harry and Ginny
The Great Hall was filled with
the sounds of laughter as the students enjoyed the Halloween feast. A hundred
skeletons danced around the Great Hall.
If you both follow this study chart I made, said Hermione. You shouldnt
have any problems taking your N.E.W.T.s this spring. Of course it means you
actually have to study you know.
Shut up Hermione, said Ron good-naturedly, his mouth full of food. We have
months before we have to take our N.E.W.T.s. Besides, I dont think Harrys
even listening to you. He pointed his fork full of mashed potatoes at their
friend who was staring dreamily across the table at a beautiful redheaded sixth
year who also happened to be Rons sister.
You havent got a chance of getting through to him when hes like this. You
should have seen the two of them this summer, mooning over each other all day
every day. He never even wanted to play Quidditch! Ron added, his voice tinged with shock.
Well I think its rather nice, said Hermione. Very romantic you might try
it sometime.
Come on Hermione, said Ron, his face turning as red as his hair. You know I
care about you. Im just not the goo-goo eyes type.
True, but I love you anyhow, said Hermione enjoying the site of his face
turning an even brighter shade of red.
After the feast, there was a
mass exodus of students heading to their dormitories. Harry and Ginny were
caught up in the wave of students heading towards Gryffindor tower. Grabbing
Ginny by the hand, he pulled her to the edge of the crowd and slipped into a
deserted classroom. Harry waited until the hallway was clear before leading
Ginny back down the stairs to a small sitting room he had found during one of
his unauthorized jaunts through the castle. Sir Nicholas and the Grey Lady
floated in behind them and drifted up to the ceiling where they watched,
unobserved. Harry knelt down next to the sofa where Ginny. He reached into the pockets of his robes and
pulled out a diamond ring.
Ginny, I know you still have a year left of school, and this may be too soon,
but I love you, and I want us to be married when you graduate from school.
Oh Harry, I-I dont know what to say, said Ginny.
Say yes, just say yes.
Of course my answer is yes, said Ginny. Harry slipped the ring on her finger
and prepared to kiss her gently. As he kissed Ginny, Sir Nicholas slid into his
body. The shock of the ghost entering his body caused him to pull away, and he
saw the Grey Lady rise up from Ginnys body.
My beloved Lady Aisling, said
Sir Nicholas. At last you have granted me my request.
My love, I vowed Id never speak again, said Lady Aisling, but now that Ive
felt your lips upon mine, I wish to sing to the heavens.
Harry Potter, I thank you, said Sir Nicholas. We have waited so long for
this to happen. Weve been allowed to try every twenty years since Aislings
death to fulfill my dying request for one last kiss. Weve never found a couple
that was in love enough to accept us into their bodies and break my true loves
silence. We were so close twenty years ago, when your father proposed to your
mother, Harry, but the clock struck midnight
before they kissed, and we were forced to wait another twenty years. Now we can
be together for all eternity.
Thank you my dears, said Lady Aisling. Your love is strong and will
withstand the trials that are to come. I see much happiness in your future.
Lady Aisling and Sir Nicholas joined hands and floated away, together at last.
Well, said Harry as they
watched the ghostly couple disappear. What do you think of that?
I think we are going to have a wonderful life together. Aisling means vision,
said Ginny. I believe that Lady Aisling has seen into our future.
And great trials, added Harry. Dont forget that.
Our love can withstand anything Harry. You of all people should know what the
power of love can do. Harry thought back to his mothers gift of love to him,
and the love he felt for Ginny, and he knew she was right. They could survive
anything together.

Resume: Previous research found that capital structure affects performance when it is adapted to the level of environmental dynamism and pursuit of an innovation strategy. The current study reproduces some of these relationships in a more recent dataset but also identifies significant nuances across industrial environments. Analyses of a large cross sectional sample and various industry sub-samples suggest that other factors have influenced capital structure effects in recent years including flexibilities in multinational organization and effective strategic risk management capabilities.

A Learning PerspectiveLyles, Marjorie A.; Pedersen, Torben; Petersen, Bent (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The study explores how firms close their knowledge gaps in relation to business environments of foreign markets. Potential determinants are derived from traditional internationalization process theory as well as more recent literature on organizational learning processes, including the concept of absorptive capacity. Building on these two literature streams a conceptual model is developed and tested on a set of primary data of Danish firms and their foreign market operations. The empirical study suggests that factors considered essential in traditional internationalization process theory, such as experiential learning, explains only a very limited part of perceived knowledge gaps. When factors pertaining to the concepts of absorptive capacity and superstitious learning are added, the explanatory power improves significantly. Apparently, our understanding of firms' internationalization processes can be enriched by insights from organizational learning literature. Key words: Internationalization, knowledge gap, absorptive capacity, superstitious learning. JEL Codes: D21, F23, M10 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7434

A Case of Kuhnian Lost ContentFoss, Kirsten; Foss, Nicolai (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Among the many seminal contributions of Ronald Coase, founding property rights economics is a truly major one. This approach impacted a number if fields in economics in particularly the 1960s and 1970s, but gradually lost influence. What is called property rights economics in modern economics, mainly originated by Oliver Hart, is very different from the original property rights economics of Coase, Demsetz, Alchian, Cheung, Umbeck, Barzel, etc. in terms of analytical style and explanatory scope. Based on our earlier work on the subject (Foss and Foss, 2001), we argue that the change from Mark I to Mark II property rights economics led to Kuhnian loss of content. This is related to the strong assumptions concerning the definition and enforcement of ownership rights made in the latter approach which leads to many real life institutions and governance arrangements being excluded from consideration.

Collaborative Capability in R&D Alliances: Exploring the Link between Organizational and Individual level Factors.Knudsen, Line Gry; Nielsen, Bo Bernhard (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Collaborative capability has predominantly been conceptualized and analyzed from a firm-level perspective, paying inadequate attention to the individual level mechanisms that enable this ability to develop and flourish. Utilizing the dynamic capabilities perspective, we suggest that antecedents of collaborative capabilities can be found at the organizational and individual level. Hence, this study examines the role of collaborative capability in R&D alliances with particular focus on the interplay between organizational and individual level mechanisms. We explore the development of Novozymes' "Partnering Project" and show how individual level factors work in concert with organizational level mechanisms in creating collaborative capability. Based on the in-depth case study and a review of the extant literature, we propose a framework for explaining the multi-dimensional nature of collaborative capabilities in R&D alliances and show how firms can benefit from increased attention to the interaction between individual and organizational level issues when designing R&D alliances.

An econometric study of an Italian bankGritti, Paola; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: We empirically address how customer satisfaction and loyalty in the banking industry may affect profitability. This helps to identify the strategy and competencies necessary to benefit from customer relationships which are important sources for improved performance in the banking. We do this by analyzing data collected on 2,105 customers of 118 branches of one of the biggest banks of an Italian banking group. We find that customer satisfaction impacts loyalty, which in turn has a direct effect on financial and non-financial customer value/total customer value/complex customer value. Moreover, loyalty is a mediator between financial and not-financial customer value and two sources of customer satisfaction, namely relationships with the front office and the branch, on the one hand, and the products offered, on the other.

Pedersen, Torben (København, 2006)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Subsidiary development is a multi-dimensional construct that cannot be captured just by looking at subsidiary roles, activities, etc. Three distinct dimensions of subsidiary development are identified and these are: scope of subsidiary (the breadth of activities), level of subsidiary competence (the depth of activities) and level of integration in the internal MNC-network. Birkinshaw and Hood (1998a) have in their seminal paper proposed a model where subsidiary development is determined by three factors: Headquarter assignment, dynamism of local business environment and subsidiary initiatives. This paper is the first to conduct a statistical test of this model on a large-sample data set including data of more than 2.100 subsidiaries located in seven different countries in Europe. The effect of the three determining factors on subsidiary development is tested simultaneously in a LISREL model. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7465

An Empirical StudyHeimeriks, Koen H.; Duysters, Geert; Vanhaverbeke, Wim (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper assesses the differential performance effects of learning mechanisms on the development of alliance capabilities. Prior research has suggested that different capability levels could be identified in which specific intra-firm learning mechanisms are used to enhance a firm's alliance capability. However, empirical testing in this field is scarce and little is known as to what extent different learning mechanisms are indeed useful in advancing a firm's alliance capability. This paper analyzes to what extent intra-firm learning mechanisms help firms develop their alliance capability. Differential learning may explain in what way firms yield superior returns from their alliances in comparison to competitors. The empirical results show that different learning mechanisms have different performance effects at different stages of the alliance capability development process. The main lesson from this paper is that firms can steer the creation and speed of their alliance capability development as different learning mechanisms have differential performance effects and are more appropriate at different levels of alliance capability. Key words: learning mechanisms, alliance capabilities and competitive heterogeneity. JEL classification: L14 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7459

Resume: The economics of growth has shown that countries not only grow by deploying higher levels of inputs to production, but also by better allocating whatever resources are at their disposal and by introducing productivity-enhancing innovations. We proffer arguments as to why and how entrepreneurship as well institutions of liberty (i.e., economic freedom, including the rule of law, easy regulations, low taxes and limited government interference in the economy) positively impact total factor productivity (TFP): These institutions allow entrepreneurial experimentation with the combination of factors to take place at low transaction costs. We test these ideas on a unique panel data set derived from Compendia, World Bank data and the Fraser Institute's economic freedom data. We find that while entrepreneurship positively impacts TFP, the marginal contribution of entrepreneurship to TFP is strongest in economies with substantial government activity.

An MNC Subsidiary Perspective on Knowledge OutflowsMahnke, Volker; Pedersen, Torben; Venzin, Markus (København, 2006)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This empirical paper explores knowledge outflow from MNC subsidiaries and its impact on the MNC performance. We develop and test hypotheses derived from literature on MNC knowledge flows integrated with the perspective of knowledge-creating, self-interested MNC subsidiaries. The hypotheses are developed using a simultaneous equation model applied to a unique dataset encompassing a German MNC, HeidelbergCement. Enablers and impediments of knowledge outflows are assessed in order to explain why subsidiaries share their knowledge with other MNC units. Implications are examined by studying the link between knowledge outflows and subsidiary performance. Our findings suggest that knowledge outflows increase a subsidiary's performance only up to a certain point and that too much knowledge sharing may be detrimental to the contributing subsidiary's performance.

Insights for International Strategic ManagementBenito, Gabriel R.G.; Petersen, Bent; Welch, Lawrence S. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Companies' choice of foreign operation modes (FOM) has been a core subject of international business studies basically from its beginning (Hymer, 1960 [1976]; Root, 1964). A halfcentury of research has brought us a set of established perspectives on companies' foreign operation mode choices; the most important being the economics based approaches of internalisation and transaction cost theories (Anderson and Gatignon, 1986; Buckley and Casson, 1976; Hennart, 1982), evolutionary and resource based approaches (Andersen, 1997; Kogut and Zander, 1993; Madhok, 1997), institutional approaches (Kostova and Zaheer, 1999; Meyer and Peng, 2005), and process models based on learning and decision behaviour theories (Johanson and Vahlne, 1977, 2009)....

Some Cross-Country EvidenceBjørnskov, Christian; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2006)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: While much attention has been devoted to analyzing how the institutional framework and entrepreneurship impact growth, how economic policy and institutional design affect entrepreneurship appears to be much less analyzed. We try to explain cross-country differences in the level of entrepreneurship by differences in economic policy and institutional design. Specifically, we use the measures of economic freedom to ask which elements of economic policy making and the institutional framework that are responsible for the supply of entrepreneurship (our data on entrepreneurship are derived from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor). The combination of these two datasets is unique in the literature. We find that the size of government is negatively correlated with entrepreneurial activity but that sound money is positively correlated with entrepreneurial activity. Other measures of economic freedom are not significantly correlated with entrepreneurship. JEL CODE: M13, O31, O50 KEYWORDS: Economic freedom, entrepreneurship, cross-country variation.

A model of integrative strategy making processesJuul Andersen, Torben; Bernhard Nielsen, Bo (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: There is general consensus that coordination and integration are needed to achieve efficient outcomes while distributed decision power and autonomous actions are essential to develop innovative responses. These dual requirements for operational optimization and ongoing business innovation capture the essence of organizational ambidexterity as the means to sustain performance over time when environmental conditions change. This paper incorporates strategic management and organization theoretical rationales in a model that combines elements of integration and experimentation in the strategy making process and thereby extends the evolving literature on the ambidextrous organization. The performance relationships of the ambidextrous integrative strategy making model are investigated on the basis of a cross-sectional sample of 185 business entities operating in different manufacturing industries. Results of structural equation analyses indicate that superior performance in the ambidextrous organizations is associated with efficiencies derived from adherence to centralized strategic planning and effectiveness generated by decentralized innovative behavior through participation and autonomous actions. The study enhances our understanding of ambidexterity as the result of combined strategy making processes that balance the needs for economic efficiency and organizational adaptability.

Resume: We discuss the emergence of the theory of the firm (in the Coasian sense); survey and discuss the main currents of the theo~y of the firm, and discuss what has determined the emergence of the theory of the firm. We argue that advances in the theory of the firm have been strongly influenced by conceptual innovations in (mainstream) economics in general and by the ongoing division of labour in economics in tandem with a recognition of the importance of a number of empirical anomalies The substantive borrowing from neighbouring disciplines, such as business history, law, psychology, organizational sociology and business administration has been relatively limited and ad hoc (although some scholars, notably Williamson, have made more substantive use of these disciplines than othe~s) The fact that the theory of the firm has stayed relatively close in to the (changing) economic mainstream and that its substantive borrowing from neighbouring disciplines has been relatively limited unde~lie and explain much of the "external" critique of the theory (i.e., the critiques of sociologists, heterodox economists and management scholars).

Origins, Key Tenets and Research GapsFoss, Nicolai J.; Lyngsie, Jacob (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The field of strategic entrepreneurship is a fairly recent one. Its central idea is that opportunity-seeking and advantage-seeking—the former the central subject of the entrepreneurship field, the latter the central subject of the strategic management field— are processes that need to be considered jointly. The purpose of this brief chapter is to explain the emergence of SE theory field in terms of a response to research gaps in the neighboring fields of entrepreneurship and strategic management; describe the main tenets of SE theory; discuss its relations to neighboring fields; and finally describe some research gaps in extant theory, mainly focusing on the need to provide clear microfoundations for SE theory and link it to organizational design theory.

An Empirical Investigation of the Role of Industry Factors in the Internationalization Patterns of FirmsGrøgaard, Birgitte; Gioia, Carmine; Benito, Gabriel R.G. (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Research on companies' internationalization has mainly focused on firm-level and country-level factors in order to explain firms' cross-border activities. With the exception of a limited number of studies emphasizing rivalistic behavior in oligopolistic industries, industry factors have been neglected as potential determinants of companies' internationalization. We argue that differences across industries with regard to competition level, research intensity, tangibility of the products, and the existence of clusters should influence the impetus and opportunities to internationalize. This study examines the role of such factors using data covering the internationalization patterns of the 100 largest non-financial Norwegian companies over the period 1990 to 2000. We find that industry factors contribute significantly to explaining the internationalization of these companies, and that the effects of industry factors remain strong when firm-level characteristics are taken into account.

Origins, Attributes, CritiqueFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Israel Kirzner's concept of entrepreneurship as alertness to profit opportunities is one of the most influential modern interpretations of the entrepreneurial function. Shane and Venkataraman's (2000: 218) influential assessment defines entrepreneurship research as "the scholarly examination of how, by whom, and with what effects opportunities to create future goods and services are discovered, evaluated, and exploited." As such, "the field involves the study of sources of opportunities; the processes of discovery, evaluation, and exploitation of opportunities; and the set of individuals who discover, evaluate, and exploit them." Shane's General Theory of Entrepreneurship (2003) cites Kirzner and "Kirznerian opportunities" more than any writer other than Joseph Schumpeter. More generally, the entrepreneurial opportunity, rather than the individual entrepreneur, the startup company, or the new product, has become the centerpiece of the academic study of entrepreneurship.

Resume: In this book chapter I present a multidimensional entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) scale. The scale builds on three established ESE-scales, but the reliability of it is improved compared to the original three scales as the highly discipline-specific jargon is transformed to a more neutral wording of the items. The scale has been tested in a large scale survey including 445 students from twelve different programmes at three universities in Denmark and one university in Sweden. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) has been applied in order to investigate the multidimensionality of the items in the scale, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has been applied to investigate its convergent, discriminatory and nomological validity. The results demonstrate support for a multidimensional ESE-scale with high predictive validity regarding entrepreneurial behaviours and with high reliability as the items are comprehensible to respondents, regardless if they have entrepreneurial experience or not. The scale can thus be used in programme evaluations that include control groups or other type of individuals that lack entrepreneurial experience. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8565

From opportunity discovery to judgmentFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Entrepreneurship has become a fast-growing subfield in management research, and is increasingly appearing in economics, finance, and even law. We survey a number of approaches to entrepreneurship in the economics and management literatures, and argue that modern research in this area need to be focused around ideas from Austrian economics and Frank Knight on entrepreneurial judgment. We critically discuss the recent opportunity discovery literature in management, and argue that it has partially misunderstood the Austrian origins of the theory, and fails to ade-quately distinguish between opportunity identification and opportunity exploitation.

Resume: Entrepreneurship is ultimately about the arrangement of resources into productive activi-ties. Much of the entrepreneurship literature, however, has focused on the demand side of the market. While resource heterogeneity is a feature of many theories of the firm, such theories are not built on a systematic theory of capital. We show how the approach to capital developed by the Austrian school of economics provides a natural bridge between theory of entrepreneurship and the theory of the firm. We refine Austrian capital theory by defining capital heterogeneity in terms of subjectively perceived attributes, the func-tions, characteristics, and uses of capital assets. Such attributes are not given, but have to be created or discovered by means of entrepreneurial action. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7443

Resume: The study of entrepreneurship and the study of economic organizing lack contact. In fact, the modern theory of the firm virtually ignores entrepreneurship, while the literature on entrepreneurship often sees little value in the economic theory of the firm. In contrast, we argue in this chapter that entrepreneurship theory and the theory of the firm can be usefully integrated, and that doing so would improve both bodies of theory. Adding the entrepreneur to the theory of the firm provides a dynamic view that the overly static analysis of firm organizing cannot support. Moreover, adding the firm to the study of the entrepreneur provides important clues to how we can understand entrepreneurship. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8250

Wild blank Blue Jackets
Columbus, OH – Ryan Suter and Charlie Coyle potted a power- play goal apiece, while Niklas Backstrom stopped 24 shots to notch his second shutout of the season, as the Minnesota Wild blanked the Columbus Blue Jackets, 3-0, on Sunday at Nationwide Arena.
Jason Pominville, acquired from the Buffalo Sabres at Wednesday's trade deadline, recorded a goal and an assist for his first two points as a member of the Wild, who snapped a three-game skid and sit just two points back of the idle Vancouver Canucks for the top spot in the Northwest Division.
"What you saw tonight is what our game is supposed to look like," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "I really liked a lot of players tonight. I thought everybody was on top of their game."
Sergei Bobrovsky allowed all three goals on 24 shots for Columbus, which has dropped two straight to fall four points back of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
After a scoreless first frame, Minnesota broke through while on the power play early in the second when Suter skated into the high slot and rifled a wrister over the glove of Bobrovsky for a 1-0 lead at the 3:13 mark.
A hooking penalty against Columbus forward Vinny Prospal at the 13:54 mark gave Minnesota another man advantage and the Wild quickly capitalized, as Mikael Granlund received the puck in the right circle and made a nice one- touch pass to the low left side, where Coyle pounded it home for a 2-0 lead with just under five minutes left in the middle stanza.
Columbus had a pair of power-play opportunities in the final period, but Backstrom turned away all 12 shots he faced in the frame to secure his 28th career shutout.
"We lacked energy in the second period," Columbus coach Todd Richards admitted. "We picked it up in the third, but we still didn't do enough."
Pominville lit the lamp with 1:25 left in the contest to account for the final margin.
Game Notes
Minnesota improved to 9-10-1 on the road, while Columbus fell to 11-5-5 at home ... The Wild have taken both meetings with the Blue Jackets this season, including a 3-2 decision on Jan. 29 in Minnesota ... Minnesota went 2-for-3 on the power play, while Columbus failed on all four of its chances with the man advantage.

I don't need to tell you the cultural impact a new Call of Duty title has on the world, especially the young euro-western (usually primarily male) demographic. With Call of Duty: Black Ops II releasing yesterday, the famed FPS franchise is all the rage on Twitter.
So, I'd like to share a couple of the more entertaining Call of Duty Tweets, and trends I've noticed.
I'm not on twitter but that's because I'd almost always embarrass myself with stupid things I say. D:
"I really wanna play COD, preferably with a cute boy"
and THAT my friends is why Girls can not be taken seriously as gamers since most of them just do it for their own social gimmick like reasons.
"yeah you're not real. Girls don't play COD mate. I could mug you off on COD with a 360 no scope headshot. Shut up I'm real"
Oh look at me guys, look at me I'm a real girl gamer I'm going to beat all you "noobs"....blah blah blah.
No....you shut up.
Honeslty it's sickening, it's why most real "girl" gamers don't get taken seriously. The majority of them are fake who are doing it to either impress someone, look cool, fit in or prove something.
yeah this is difficult to actually cause not that i don't believe people its just hard to actually know unless they have a mic

Jim Bushman has been road commissioner for Palmyra Township for the past 12 years and has proved successful in his duties as commissioner. He dedicates himself full time to the position as road commissioner and has since Day 1.
Some of the ones running against him have full-time jobs and also want to be road commissioner. My concern is if one of the others is elected, he could not perform the duties of commissioner while working a full-time job.
Another one of my concerns is, with four other candidates on the ballot, the people who support Jim Bushman need to get out to the polls and vote.
That is the most important thing of all. Without your vote on the ballot, Jim Bushman cannot and will not win this election. Please get out and vote, and let's retain Jim Bushman as Palmyra Township road commissioner. He has proved himself.
Don't go by the fancy signs and 'I can do this job' talk. Let's retain the man who has proved he can do the job. If it isn't broke, let's not fix it.

Press release
Brussels, 7 March 2013
Commission wants to simplify life for SMEs by easing the top 10 most burdensome EU laws
The 20.8 million European small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) create 85% of all new jobs in Europe, they employ 2/3 of the workforce in the EU and they contribute significantly to innovation and growth. Following the principle "think small first", and in line with the Small Business Act of 2008, the Commission has put SMEs at the heart of its smart regulation agenda to help growth and job creation in Europe. In a broad consultation initiated by the Commission, around 1000 SMEs and business organisations have now identified the top 10 most burdensome EU laws. The purpose of this broad consultation was to check where EU regulation might be impeding jobs and growth and to identify areas or issues which would require further examination and action where necessary. The result published today indicates that SMEs see the biggest difficulties and costs as a consequence of the rules regarding the REACH chemical legislation, value added tax, product safety, recognition of professional qualifications, data protection, waste legislation, labour market related legislation, recording equipment for road transport, public procurement and the modernised customs code.
The Commission, while recognising the overall necessity of having European-wide rules in these areas, will now thoroughly address these concerns via the new Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT1) launched in December 2012 (IP/12/1349). Through this programme, the EU's regulatory acquis is being screened for burdens, gaps and inefficiencies in order to evaluate and if appropriate revise those laws where the assessment points to a need for action. The Commission will announce follow up actions by June 2013, also taking into account the outcome of the ongoing legislative processes.
European Commission President José Manuel Barroso said: "The Commission is making sure that EU legislation is fit for purpose and helps European businesses to grow and to create jobs. This is why we have put smart regulation at the heart of our policy-making. And this is why we want to ease the lives of our small and medium sized enterprises, which are most important engines for Europe's economy. I want to thank all those who contributed to identifying the most burdensome pieces of legislation. We will work hard not to disappoint your expectations."
European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship, added: "SMEs which are creating the lion's share of all new jobs in Europe are the key to get out of this crisis. Our legislation needs to be designed with SMEs (and especially new entrepreneurs) in mind: it must be smart, it must be simple and it must be stable. The better we listen to SMEs concerns, the better they can help us to return to growth. "
The following EU laws have been identified by SMEs as the TOP 10 most burdensome EU laws:
In many of these areas (e.g. professional qualifications, data protection, procurement, etc.) the Commission has already taken action to further improve and simplify EU legislation (see MEMO/12/974).
The consultation also reveals that small businesses appreciate reduced payment deadlines under the Late Payments Directive entering into force on 16 March 2013 (IP/12/1071) as one of the most successful legal improvements, together with allowing more SMEs to benefit from simplified accounting/auditing regimes.
The results of the Top 10 exercise are published as part of the Commission's input to the Spring European Council: The Communication "Smart regulation – responding to the needs of SMEs" and the accompanying staff working document also provide examples of exemptions and lighter regimes for SMEs proposed by the Commission and adopted by the EU legislator. A new annual scoreboard is presented, too, which tracks progress on SME-relevant legislation and which shows how proposals by the Commission to simplify or reduce burden are followed up by the other institutions and by Member States. The scoreboard identifies how different approaches to implementation affect the overall result for SMEs given that more than a third of administrative burden to SMEs is added at the stage of implementation by Member States. The network of SME Envoys will actively follow-up the TOP 10 results and make administrative burden reduction a priority in Member States.
Cost of legislation to SMEs is systematically assessed before legislative proposals are adopted by the Commission. Wherever possible, micro enterprises are exempted from regulation and lighter regimes for SMEs are introduced.
Generally, the Commission consults and keeps an open dialogue with stakeholders such as business, social partners, civil society organisations and other interested parties to ensure its proposals respond to the reality on the ground. The dialogue with interested parties can take many forms, and methods for consultation and timing depend on the different contexts.

anhingaSaturday, September 15, 2012
I had to look back through my archives to see when I last finished a sweater. November. Last November. Holy cow.
I was happy to be working on an interesting, stockinette stitch, pattern, with just enough "change it up" to keep my mind busy. I love how the center insert highlights the intersecting pieces. The visible seam was a challenge for me as my mother has taught me how to hide the seams so well. A trip to the yarn store was actually required for teaching me how to show my seams!
A super straightforward back piece and two sleeves with exactly the same number of rows (ha! thanks to working both sleeves at the same time).
I am mostly a cardigan knitter, but can't tell you how much I adore the "wear" of this sweater. The "flowy" front makes it fun and easy on the body.
Pattern: anhinga
Yarn: 10 balls Rowan by amy butler belle organic aran color 212
Needles: size 8
Size: 34"
I wanted to let you know that Jimmy Beans Wool is carrying a limited edition of Denise2go's newest set of interchangeable knitting tools. This special line will feature eight designs of the Denise2Go released monthly over a six-month span (through February '13). There are only 46 sets of the "roll back to school" edition available.
And one more thing. I don't really have a recipe for my veggie chili. I just take every veggie I have in the fridge and saute them in olive oil. (This time I had, onion, mushroom, zucchini, eggplant!, green and red pepper and celery. Then I toss in a couple cans of any beans, one can of corn, and 1-2 cans of crushed tomatoes along with a teaspoon of chili powder. Let that simmer for a bit, then spoon a big ladle into a bowl and top it with cheese (i love cheddar) sour cream, diced red onions and avocado. Serve with tostito chips.
Enjoy your weekend!

A wildfire in Croatan National Forest is mostly contained, fire officials said Tuesday.
A wildfire in Croatan National Forest is mostly contained, fire officials said Tuesday.
The 533-acre blaze near N.C. 24 and Nine Mile Road is two-thirds contained with full containment expected in the next 24 hours, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
All roads are open while some hiking trails remain closed.
The fire, which began late Sunday, is believed to have been started by a person and is being investigated as a possible arson case, said James Cherry, district fire management officer for the U.S. Forest Service.
No injuries or property damage have been reported, officials said.
Two dozen firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service, N.C. Forest Service, volunteer fire departments and the Defense Department battled the blaze.

NEW YORK — Texas's Dixie Elementary School (Tyler); Yehovah Yireh Foundation (Dime Box); City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department (Houston); and Faith, Hope and Charity: Concerned Citizen Organization for Youth (Marlin) are among 81 recipients of Nickelodeon (Nick) grants designed to help foster healthy and active lifestyles within local communities. The network is distributing a total of $600,000 to schools and other organizations across the United States as part of its 2004 "Let's Just Play" program.
Ranging from $2,500 to $10,000, Nick awarded the grants to applicants across the country with a comprehensive plan for encouraging play in their area. Applications were judged on a competitive basis according to the range and scope of the project, creativity, accountability and the effect it would potentially have on participants. In 2004, more than 1,800 grant applications were received from every state in the country for the program, expressing more than $9 million in need — many times for basic equipment.
"Of the applications we received, the majority requested funds for basic necessities such as athletic equipment, clearly demonstrating that it does not take an exorbitant amount of money to assist," Marva Smalls, Nick executive vice president of public affairs, said in a release about the grants. "Small amounts can yield big results for a community and will make-up for budget cuts elsewhere."
Nick also announced plans to commit $1.5 million to this year's program.

The research reported in this paper explored decision making and information use by public safety personal leading teams responding to major incidents. The research methodology was qualitative using critical incident technique and observation grounded in Activity Theory as meta-theoretical framework. The data gathered uncovered intuitive as well as analytic modes of thinking. The mode of information use and decision making uncovered varied from existing models. We argue that this has implications for decision support and our understanding of decision making in time-constrained, complex and uncertain environments.

Freshman Nik Stauskas provides sharp-shooting swagger for Final Four-bound Michigan
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Michigan is heading to its first Final Four since 1993, and it was a 3-point barrage by Nik Stauskas that sealed a spot for the Wolverines.
Stauskas made all six of his attempts from beyond the arc, scoring 22 points in Sunday's 79-59 win over Florida. The 6-foot-6 guard is shooting 45 percent from long range this season, and his performance against the Gators reminded everyone how good Michigan can be when everybody is contributing.
Stauskas made the regional final look like a routine pregame shooting drill. Now Michigan moves on to face Syracuse in a national semifinal Saturday.

That is a great idea! Dang it, why didn't someone share that with me before I pur my playroom right smack in the middle of my house next to the kitchen!
That is definitely a good idea...but only if you have extra space in your kitchen! I, unfortunately, need at least 1 more drawer as it is for dish cloths & towels, bibs, and oven mitts. I did put the tupperware and lids in a bottom drawer and Madelyn LOVES getting into that.ReplyDelete
Audrey looks so grown up and so stinkin cute! I love the little hair clip too!
Look at Audrey!! So adorable in all her chub! And her darling little clip and clear blue eyes. What a beauty! Great idea :)ReplyDelete
She is a cutie!ReplyDelete
My Grandma had this in her house and when i was younger I would dash to the kitchen and get out the "toy drawer"....good memories.
She is so adorable! And what a great idea!ReplyDelete

Such a cute girl!!! She's looking so much older. I always get a teeny bit sad when my babies lose their baby look, and start looking like big kids. Love her little hair clip!ReplyDelete
This is a great idea. I used to have a drawer dedicated to tupperware and other plastic things that I didn't care if the kids got into. They loved it because they could play while I was cooking, and I loved it because they couldn't break anything.
LOVE your beautiful cabinetry!
this reminds me of my grammy's house, too. she had a drawer of "safe" kitchen things that i remember my little sisters getting into - and then lucas when we went to stay.ReplyDelete
hello miss audrey! the cutest little polka-dot ever!
love, lindsay
This was a lovely idea my mom had for us when I was a baby. Instead of crawling around her feet during dinner prep, I played in the drawer. It's been lovingly named "the toy drawer".ReplyDelete
I have ALWAYS had a drawer the kids can destroy. usually it's the tupperware drawer. i will have to add a few of hyrum's toys in there too.ReplyDelete
Such a great idea. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
And Miss Audrey is quite the cutie!
Such a good idea to make "little helpers" in the kitchen feel like they are a part of what their mothers are doing. I wish Morgan liked toys instead of plugs and chords and cell phone chargers. Ugh...ReplyDelete
Audrey looks like such a happy little gal to have around!

Cute hair-do Audrey Mae!ReplyDelete
So glad you are enjoying this tip. Sometimes I wonder if they are even worth posting! This gives me great encouragement ;) I bet Audrey loves being close and you love having her close!ReplyDelete
Looking cute…..! and what a great idea of hiding toys in kitchen.ReplyDelete

My Mom did that when she was raising me and my siblings. Above the toy drawer, was a lid drawer then the fun towel drawer. Simple things bring about great delight to young children.ReplyDelete
I did the same for my children.

Avanir Pharmaceuticals Pre-announces Preliminary Fiscal 2014 First Quarter Financial Information
Jan 13, 2014, 08:00 ET
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNR) today announced preliminary financial information (unaudited) for the quarter-ended December 31, 2013, in anticipation of the company's attendance at the J.P. Morgan 32nd Annual Healthcare Conference.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130207/LA55901LOGO)
Based on preliminary financial information (unaudited) for the quarter-ended December 31, 2013, Avanir estimates:
- Total gross revenues of approximately $34.6 million (Non-GAAP)
- Gross product revenue for NUEDEXTA® of approximately $31.3 million (Non-GAAP), representing an increase of approximately 13% versus the quarter ended September 30, 2013
- NUEDEXTA gross-to-net discount in the range of approximately 24-26%
- NUEDEXTA net product revenue growth of approximately 15-18% sequentially over the previous quarter
- Cash used in operations of approximately $9.5 million
- Cash, cash equivalents and investments in securities totaling approximately $46.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $43.9 million and restricted investments in securities of approximately $2.6 million
About NUEDEXTA
NUEDEXTA is an innovative combination of two well-characterized components; dextromethorphan hydrobromide (20 mg), the ingredient active in the central nervous system, and quinidine sulfate (10 mg), a metabolic inhibitor enabling therapeutic dextromethorphan concentrations. NUEDEXTA acts on sigma-1 and NMDA receptors in the brain, although the mechanism by which NUEDEXTA exerts therapeutic effects in patients with PBA is unknown.
NUEDEXTA Important Safety Information
NUEDEXTA is indicated for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect (PBA). PBA occurs secondary to a variety of otherwise unrelated neurological conditions, and is characterized by involuntary, sudden, and frequent episodes of laughing and/or crying. PBA episodes typically occur out of proportion or incongruent to the underlying emotional state.
Studies to support the effectiveness of NUEDEXTA were performed in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). NUEDEXTA has not been shown to be safe and effective in other types of emotional lability that can commonly occur, for example, in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
NUEDEXTA and certain other medicines can interact, causing serious side effects. If you take certain drugs or have certain heart problems, NUEDEXTA may not be right for you.
NUEDEXTA causes dose-dependent QTc prolongation. When initiating NUEDEXTA in patients at risk for QT prolongation and torsades de pointes, electrocardiographic (ECG) evaluation should be conducted at baseline and 3-4 hours after the first dose.
The most common adverse reactions are diarrhea, dizziness, cough, vomiting, asthenia, peripheral edema, urinary tract infection, influenza, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, and flatulence. NUEDEXTA may cause dizziness.
These are not all the risks from use of NUEDEXTA. Please refer to full Prescribing Information at www.NUEDEXTA.com.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains unaudited financial information under both U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis and Non-GAAP basis. This Non-GAAP financial measure of gross revenue excludes contra revenue items to reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of our financial information and the factors and trends affecting our business. However, these Non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use our Non-GAAP financial measures internally to better understand and evaluate our business, prepare annual budgets, and in measuring performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release reflects adjustments based on the following items:
Total Gross Revenues. Total gross revenues exclude allowances for customer credits, including estimated discounts, rebates, chargebacks and co-pay assistance (collectively, "Customer Credits"), the costs of which would be included in our net revenue figures. We believe that the exclusion of the Customer Credits provides management and investors with an additional basis on which to evaluate the growth of the NUEDEXTA sales revenues and the potential addressable market for NUEDEXTA, particularly given that there are no other drugs approved to treat PBA. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of total net revenues to total gross revenues because, at this time, we are in the process of completing our financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and are finalizing the accounting of the Customer Credits that account for the difference between the gross and net revenue figures.

absolute LENGTHS | absolute Black
Your lashes deserve the most tender care and the purest of ingredients - DeVita absolute LENGTHS™ offers only the finest mineral make up formulation for your precious eyes, and delivers the most naturally defined lash lengthening looks. Our advanced molded brush applicator and breakthrough formula of Biotin-D (strengthens lashes), Carrot oil (rich in beta-carotene), and natural fibers, helps to give the look of longer, defined lashes. DeVita uses pure pigments of Black Tea, and Pomegranate, with Iron oxides, which add rich, deep chemical-free color. Resists flaking, clumping and smudging - So don't be afraid to take your lashes to their absolute LENGTHS™ - naturally! Just great, healthy coverage you can count on - absolutely... |ab⋅so⋅lute| minerals™ by DeVita.
INGREDIENTS: Aqua (de-ionized water), Stearic acid (vegetable base), Stearalkonium hectorite, Copernicia cerifera (carnauba wax), Cellulose gum, Glyceryl stearate, Glycerin, Sambucus nigra (elderberry) fruit extract, Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), Tocopherol (vitamin E), Euphrasia officinalis (eyebright) extract, Biotin-d, Daucus carota sativa (carrot) seed oil, Potassium sorbate, Punica granatum (pomegranate) extract, Camellia sinensis (black tea) leaf extract, Cellulose, Iron oxide black. Ingredient labeling adheres to international INCI standards.
ACTION: Delivers naturally defined lash lengthening looks using natural plant fibers and rich, deep chemical-free color from black tea leaf and iron oxides, plus Eyebright, Biotin-D, and Carrot oil to help nourish and protect. DeVita absolute LENGTHS™ has a cutting edge molded silicon brush applicator featuring multiple bristle lengths, plus a curved angle to help encourage curling. You will not see gloppy gobs of mascara dripping from your wand. Our natural formula is light and clean coating the lashes with natural look enhancement, while the plant cellulose fibers extend the length.
DIRECTIONS: Always begin by wiggling the wand left to right at the base of lashes. It's the mascara placed near the roots -not the tips- that gives the illusion of length. Pull the wand up and through lashes, wiggling as you go. The wiggling part is key: Wiggling separates lashes. Wiggling is also the best and easiest way to get your brush back into the mascara tube - just wiggle slowly back in, rather than jab it in quickly.
Also make sure to use the longer comb side of the brush to help with separation as well. Use the short fine bristles at the end of the brush to highlight the tiny bottom lashes at the corners of your eyes. With our advanced molded brush you can accentuate every lash every time!
Disclaimer: When trying any new products (DeVita or others), a patch test is always recommended. Choose a small area (inside of wrist, side of face back by lower jaw etc) for 2-3 days prior to fully using, especially if you have a history of sensitive skin or allergic reactions. Your skin is unique to only you - DeVita cannot guarantee that customers will not experience skin reactions to our products and cannot be held responsible should any occur.
NOTE: Best for those wanting to create a natural lengthening effect to the lashes, while nourishing and hydrating the lashes at the same time. Free from coal tar, FD& C colorants and other mainstream mascara toxins.

Three Writers. One Office. No Effects. This is all I know as we're tweeted this link to a video of three writers having a blast in the office playing office hoops. They bounce the balls off each others heads, they bounce the balls off walls, they use all the geometry skills they have to bounce balls here there and everywhere, and into the hoops. It looks like they're having a grand ol' time at work. They set this to dubstep, which is hard to forgive because that ship sailed and we blew it up over Cthulhu's lair. And then.. There's the VO. He has the perfect VO voice... but it's what he's saying. "Bring it Tosh". Tosh? The rape joke comedian? I am not sure why he is the chosen one to "bring it", and I am also not clued up on why a room with three writers can only come up with "bring it" and "nana nana boo boo" as a taunt... So there you have it. If this was meant to brand mOcean the agency and show off their writers many talents, you've only shown me that they can hit hoops. If this is part of a bigger thing, where Tosh will have them on TV or somesuch, you should have used that writing skill your titles say you have and communicated this in the video.
So if you like watching people hit hoops and edits that fit to the sound effects, enjoy.
[... and people will call me "bitter" in 3...2... whatever]
This was an entry to Tosh's "Sports or Consequences" video challenge. "Nana nana boo boo" is a line Tosh uses on this show when he does something better than someone else (such in his Sports or Consequences video clips). If you took twelve seconds to Google that phrase and added Tosh (since you clearly knew the Mocean video had something to do with Tosh) you would have easily found that out before you took the time to write a blog post about something you have no knowledge about.
Maybe the video wasn't supposed to speak to everyone, but rather those that are Tosh fans and can appreciate it. It wasn't meant for every demo across the board and it was something done purely for fun, not financial gain.
I wish I could address the point you try to make in the following copy and paste from your blog post but I can't understand WTF point you are trying to make about their writing skills: "If this is part of a bigger thing, where Tosh will have them on TV or somesuch, you should have used that writing skill your titles say you have and communicated this in the video."
Read more at http://adland.tv/comment/reply/155064#4yxPIhKtPwRSVHzY.99
Sorry I didn't know Tosh had fans, except for people who enjoy rape jokes.
If we need to take twelve seconds to google the intention behind this promotion, or if you have to explain it to us in a post, then you have wasted our time by creating a communication piece that does not communicate effectively.
the fact they did this crapola for free isn't helping the cause.
as for their writing skills-- the promo starred three writers. and yet there was no writing. except for a cliché catch phrase at the end. so the person who wrote this article was wondering why a room full of writers wouldn't you know...write something.
do you understand now? if not, i'm sure you can google it.

Port-of-Spain (Trinidad), Jan 4 (IANS/CMC) Trinidad and Tobago fast bowler Ravi Rampaul will miss this year's Caribbean T20 tournament due to injury, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has announced.
The confirmation Thursday follows earlier statements from manager Omar Khan suggesting that Rampaul was back in training after overcoming a knee injury and passing a fitness test.
However, Khan has since confirmed that Rampaul skipped Wednesday's planned training because of a doctor's appointment
Khan has indicated that after the test and during the net session, Ravi pulled up complaining of pain in the knee and sat out the rest of the session.
Local media reports have said that another MRI scan has shown that there's still a problem with the patella in Rampaul's right knee.
The doctor, Anil Gopeesingh, is said to have recommended more rest for the West Indies pacer who has a hectic international schedule ahead of him.
Rampaul's absence would be seen as a blow to the Trindad bowling attack as they prepare to begin the defence of their T20 title with a tournament opener against Jamaica Sunday.
Rampaul was a member of the Trinidad and Tobago team which won the Caribbean T20 last year and was also a member of the West Indies team which won the ICC World T20 in Sri Lanka last year.
All-rounder Rayad Emrit has been approved by WICB Technical Committee to replace Rampaul after a request from the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board.
Emrit, 31, is a right-handed batsman and right-arm seamer who has represented the defending champions in all formats for a decade.
He played two One-Day Internationals for West Indies in India in 2007 and was expected to join the squad for their pre-tournament warm-up match against the Windward Islands Thursday night.

Senate District 32 up for grabs
Sen. Chris Romer announced today that he'll resign his state Senate seat to run for Denver mayor, touching off a scramble to replace him in the legislature.
Five people have already thrown their hats into the ring for the Denver district, including sitting Democratic state Rep. Beth McCann.
Other contenders include Denver Democratic Party Secretary Owen Perkins, retired federal auditor Jeff Hart, doctor and advocate for the developmentally disabled Irene Aguilar, and environmentalist Matt Royster.
Romer said his resignation will take effect at the end of the year. A vacancy committee of about 150 Democratic activists and elected officials have until 30 days after Romer's last day to find his replacement.
Romer joins an already crowded field for mayor that includes two councilmen and at least two other candidates.

"Worst pick in the draft. The Seahawks continue to stumble..." -MM on 2012 Draft regarding RW
Regarding Carradine, I don't see the Clemons comparison. Carradine is a different build/player. Carradine is much thicker and is a great power/speed guy. Clem has grown in his ability in the run game, but is still a speed guy with a little power.
Carradine has the ability to become the best all around DE in the game IMO. He might never lead the league in sacks, but his all around game is awesome. Really no weaknesses besides the knee issue. In the LEO role, I could see Tank becoming a consistent 15 sack guy, whilst seeing the SEA Run D improving big time. To me, he is the defensive end version of Sheldon Richardson. High energy guy who makes way more tackles than his position should make (80 tackles this year).
I'm all in one Tank in R1. I think he's a top 3 talent when healthy. Worthy gamble IMO.

Lindsay Lohan Hair Disaster

This is an excellent example of not only a disaster of a life but also a hair disaster. What is Lindsay Lohan thinking? This shade of color is way too blonde for Lindsay's complexion. It makes her look washed out and sickly. In addition the blonde is still carry some brassy yellow tones in certain areas. It looks like Lindsay did this herself out of a box color. It is way to harsh for her. So make sure when choosing a hair color it will complement your skin tone.

More Moon and Companions [1]
The solar system offers a beautiful display at first light tomorrow, as three planets flank the crescent Moon. Golden Saturn stands close to the upper left of the Moon. Dazzling Venus, the "morning star," is farther to the lower left of the Moon, with shy little Mercury to the lower left of Venus.
At least one spacecraft is orbiting each of these worlds right now. And several missions to the Moon are scheduled for the next few years.
But the grand era of lunar exploration came to an end 40 years ago this month, with the flight of the final Apollo mission — Apollo 17.
Over the preceding dozen years, the United States had launched about 30 missions to the Moon. Many of them failed — especially the early ones. But about 20 succeeded. They dispelled many myths about the Moon, and helped us understand our satellite world in detail — its composition, its structure, and even its origin.
They also brought a greater appreciation of our own Earth, showing the vibrant blue world against the blackness of space and the stark grandeur of the Moon.
In the 40 years since Apollo 17, the U.S. has sent only about a half dozen missions back to the Moon. And plans for future exploration keep getting axed.
So today, the Moon is much as it was a half-century ago — a world beyond our grasp. Even so, it's a world made familiar by the accomplishments of a bold era of exploration — an era that ended four decades ago.
More tomorrow.
