Global Co-Evolution of Firm Boundaries: Process Commoditization, Capabilities Development, and Path Dependencies
AbstractThis paper studies the co-evolution of firm boundaries and capabilities by examining the influence and interplay of process commoditization, changing external availability of capabilities and firm specific paths of governance decisions, along with strategic drivers guiding these decisions. We test hypotheses on a unique and comprehensive panel of global services sourcing projects from early experiments in 1980s through 2011. Our findings suggest that initial firm governance decisions are strongly influenced by process commoditization, external availability of services, and firm strategic objectives. With experience, governance decisions are primarily affected by past decisions and emerging – internal and/or external – sourcing capabilities. The results indicate persistent heterogeneity of boundary configurations as firm and supplier capabilities develop and differentiate over time.

Call the Nazareth College Box Office at (585) 389-2170
Nazareth College Arts Center is pleased to present the award-winning vocal quintet 42Five on Saturday, January 21, at 8 p.m. Opening for 42Five is Nazareth's own all-female a cappella group, Call4Backup.
This talented a cappella group brings a wide range of musical styles to life with a fresh approach, beautiful harmonies, a sense of humor, and a unique style. Evolving from a street corner barbershop sound and drawing on funk, rock, jazz, and blues, 42Five recreates an entire instrumental band with only their five voices.
From Elvis's 1956 remake of the R&B classic "Hound Dog" to '70s disco tunes such as "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees or '80s dance-pop/R&B hits like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," you simply have to hear it to believe it.
"When you leave a 42Five show, we want you to have experienced the impossible, the imaginative, and the hilarious," says Earl Elkins, High Tenor.
This incredible concert of "music without music" has universal appeal.
"The group got its start as a street corner act, so our foundation is really tight harmonies, really great music, and connecting with people," says Layne Stein, Vocal Percussion.

Nestled in a quiet canyon above the Silverado Trail in the world famous Napa Valley stand the breathtaking vineyards of Vine Cliff Winery.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

A patch of rough weather early Saturday that jolted people out of bed and even damaged a Southwest Miami-Dade home after lightning struck left it cool and clear to start the week.
Its looking like pretty nice weather all week, said David Ross, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami-Dade.
Monday and Tuesday is expected to feel similar to Sundays weather highs in the low-80s and lows in the upper-60s. By Wednesday, temperatures are expected to climb.
"A cool start this morning," said CBS4 meteorologist Michael Smith, with temperpatures across South Florida starting in the mid-60s.
It will be a little warmer toward the end of the week, Ross said.
The dry, cooler weather is a result of a cold front that moved through early Saturday off the Gulf of Mexico, Ross said.
The front brought strong wind gusts and heavy rain to parts of Miami-Dade, including Coral Gables and Coconut Grove where gusts of 50 mph were reported and also forced a tornado watch covering the region. Flooding was reported in Key Biscayne.
Ross said the weather is now tranquil.
The next chance of rain isnt until Saturday, when Ross said there is a 20 percent chance.

• Espace Famille: 4 fold-away seats facing each other, with a fold-down table (available for 3 or 4 people). There are baby changing facilities nearby.
• Kiosque: seats located at the far ends of coaches 8 and 1 (available on TGV Réseau and Atlantique).
• Duo side by side: 2 seats side by side.
For each seating location, you decide if you want a window or aisle seat.
Some TGV are double-deckers: TGV Duplex. You can choose the top floor "salle haute" or the bottom floor "salle basse".
Don't forget: the seat locations available (Espace Carré, window, aisle, Duo, compartment, sitting next to a friend) depend on:
- the type of TGV,
- the class (more comfort options in First Class),
- the number of seats available on the train when booking is made,
- and the number of passengers travelling.

I'm new here. My name is Hayden. I'm a straight male who is between high school and college. I joined this site because I'm bored and need something to do in my spare time. I might write something, might not. I love music and Supernatural, as well as Disney. I promise I don't bite. I'm not shy.

I haven't solved the problem with 64 bit Arduino crashing under 64 bit SUSE v11.1, but I've got a practical workaround. I simply use VirtualBox to run 32 bit SUSE v11.1 under 64 bit SUSE, and hence the 32 bit Arduino packages.
Both Arduino v0011 and v0012 then work fine according to the setup instructions on the Arduino website.
But note that to get USB virtualisation working, some configuration (hacking?) is needed. This is a problem both for SUSE, see :
and for Ubuntu, see :

- Great neighborhood spotOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/23/2014Service: (5 stars) - The bartender (liz) was a joy and made great drinks. The wait staff was attentive and helpful. The general manager was very nice (he knew we were in talks to book our rehearsal dinner there and made a point to make us feel welcome). Food (4 stars): We had a cheese plate the manager comped which was very good with some local goat and blue cheese, homemade burratta and fresh flat bread from the pizza oven. The "20 minute" Chicken w/ Shaved brussel sprouts and bacon (5stars) the star of the night. Crispy and juicy. I had the Wild Salmon. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a crispy skin that added a great texture, and accompanied by cor, chorizo, mushrooms and green beans (5 stars for meat/ 3 for the corn succotash)Special Features:
- Yum!!!!!JayneDined on 9/15/2014Our lunch was terrific..... Starting with our friendly, knowledgable server, Christopher.... We have been served by him before, but he was exceptional this time.... And the heirloom tomatoes with house made mozzarella made me wish summer wasn't over...thx so much!!!!!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/10/2014It was pleasant ambiance service was good. The food was good but very ordinary
- We were treated like VIPs!JosefinamarieDined on 9/9/2014Piatti's turned out to be the PERFECT place to celebrate a landmark birthday with a group of friends and neighbors. Great job, Piatti. It was perfect in every way. The ambiance, service and food were all perfect. One of our guests, a real foodie, was telling me last night that he couldn't get the sauce for one of his dishes out of his mind--it was so fresh and light and flavorful. I had the minestrone. It was probably the best I'd ever had--not too heavy, fresh and perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but Slowluv2gooutDined on 9/9/2014The waiter had a great personality, and the food was good - especially the appetizers. But the waiter was responsible for too many tables. So service was very slow - 2 1/2 hours from coming in to leaving. We would have ordered dessert, but ultimately had to go. If you have the time, though, it's worth the visit. Very nice staff and very pleasant dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Does It AllPenneyDined on 9/4/2014Whether a Lunch or dinner for two, a special group gathering, or a family get-together - Piatti is the place to go for friendly servers, delicious food, and a comfortable, attractive environment. In addition, you have a choice of comfortable seating, inside or out. Don't miss it!Special Features:
- NorCaleatsVIPDined on 9/1/2014The food continues to be consistently well prepared and fresh. Our server was excellent in both his demeanor and service. We love the $10 corkage fee!Special Features:
- 2 Elk Grovians2ElkGroviansDined on 8/22/2014We expected a great evening out to see one of our favorite jazz-blues-scat song stylists and outstanding accompanying musicians. Happily, we weren't disappointed! Host and service staff were intelligent and friendly; the food was tasty and well-presented (as was the wine). Hat's-off to Piatti's for such a lovely, welcoming venue. Extra-added performances by very talented young people, the legendary Delta breeze, the dancing, and the great folks we just met then joined at the next table--all contributed to the ambiance and our enjoyment far beyond what we anticipated of a casual Friday night out. Stay the course, Piatti's, and keep the great jazz coming!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SactocgtDined on 8/20/2014Food and service at Piatti is inconsistent. Sometimes excellent other times so-so. This time so-so! A beautiful setting.
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/20/2014Great, go a lot with my family. Brought my Girlfriend here for her birthday she loved it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As always, deliciousKCalVIPDined on 8/17/2014This place is consistently good, I have never had a bad meal here. The service is excellent and the staff is very helpful. I will admit that I was a bit disappointed this trip because they were out of two of the items we really had our hearts set on, but I also realize that when you use fresh ingredients that can happen.Special Features:
- A farewell dinner!West2eastDined on 8/14/2014Service well-timed, wine list affordable, friendly staff. The salads were great, we all got different dishes and all loved what we got. Were happy that we could choose smaller portions with smaller prices. Our only negative would be the chairs were a bit hard for sitting any length of time, there were booths but none available as there were less of those than regular tables. But we would happily go again.Special Features:
- Delightful eveningcarrieDined on 8/14/2014Excellent food and noise level manageable, indoor and outoor options both really niceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A great find.RonaldDined on 8/7/2014This was our first experience with a Piatti restaurant and will seek out their other locations as we travel.Special Features:
- Tasty TraditionalFoodieDined on 8/7/2014Always enjoy dining here, but much more so before the redesign which doesn't generate the warmth of the old layout. More Bahouse than Italin House. As for the food, me and my mate and guests enjoyed the food, especially the t-bone pork chop and the pork pappaderelle. The service was attentive and smart. Appreciate the nice tough of a small cake for my birthday boy guest, too.Special Features:
- Great local foodrichanddiVIPDined on 8/5/2014Went there for an impromptu glass of wine and stayed for app's and dinner - the chef's menu was enticing. Fresh, local, simple yet flavorful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nouveau ItalianSchiecklivitcusVIPDined on 7/21/2014The restaurant has a wood fired pizza oven. There is a chalk board in back of the bar with a wine list. They have Music on Friday nights on the Patio. I began with a meatball appetizer. They were large, they had a mild flavor and they were covered with a mozzarella and served in a high sided dish with red sauce. The cocktail was "A Perfect Storm." The minestrone had a tomato base with pepper flakes and green beans, and no pasta or beans, The clams had lots of garlic and pepper flakes and kernels of corn in a light white sauce with tagliatelle pasta.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dine outteoteoVIPDined on 7/20/2014overall everything is good and decent! We will visit again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Review for Sunday diningSactoFoodieDined on 7/13/2014Great food, and service was good up until dessert was served. The waitress let the dessert sit for a good ten minutes and the ice cream melted. It was only when the manager saw us eyeing our dish from the open kitchen that the food got out. Also, the people who were next to us were extremely loud and obnoxious. I understand that the resturaunt cannot help this ,but on a slow Sunday they sont have to provide such close seating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!BWCFoodieDined on 7/12/2014I recently had dinner with another couple for my wife's birthday. Sometimes we can be picky about our food and did not have great expectations since we have not eaten here for several years. To our surprise we had one of the best Italian meals that we ever had. The restaurant was not very crowded for a Saturday but had a comfortable ambience and was not very noisy so you could hear the person across from you. The fresh heirloom tomato salad and carpaccio was fresh and tasty. Our pasta was perfectly cooked and had outstanding flavors that went well with their homemade bread that was crunchy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. I would definitely return again and would recommend this restaurant to my foodie friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent service & great foodNikkiDined on 7/5/2014The restaurant is farm to fork, so the menu changes seasonally to reflect availability. The wait staff wa constantly checking up on us and seeing all our needs were met. The dipping oil for the bread was rich with spices. The appetizer cheese plate was so good! The Margherita Pizza had a light tomato sauce and the crust was crispy, yet soft where it should be; only advice would be to provide a bit more basil. The Pappardelle and while Bolognese sauce was good; I would have liked heavy cream for a smoother, richer taste, but it was solid. The ambience is a big, open place, sparse artwork, music playing masks outdoor traffic perfectly. There is a pretty outdoor patio with water alongside it and twinkle lights for nighttime! Love it here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful dinnerMarkDined on 7/3/2014We have been to Piatti's a few times and it is a wonderful restaurant. Moving here from New Orleans has been difficult and I try not to be a food snob, but Piatti's is really one of the nicest culinary experiences in Sacramento. I had the heirloom tomato, mozzarella, and basil salad - it was large and could have been a meal in itself. The pork chop was prepared well and moist. My wife's salmon was excellently prepared and seasoned. Great dining experience and the wait staff were attentive and helpful. Nice evening meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Piatti restaurantolc440VIPDined on 6/29/2014As a first time customer at Piatti's restaurant we were really surprised how lovely and formal it was. The food was delicious and service by the waiter was excellent. Will return.Special Features:
- Consistentpf63VIPDined on 6/21/2014Piatti has been around for a while and if there's one thing I can say for sure, it's been consistent in so many ways: food, service, ambiance. Staff are always welcoming from hostess to servers which is a huge part of the experience. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always enjoyableJujuDined on 6/20/2014Outdoor patio dinner with Valerie V singing is the best. My friends and I shut the place down. We didn't want to leave.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DrSquirrelDined on 6/15/2014Best, garlicky, dipping oil for the warm bread. The two meals we got were of decent (appropriate) proportions and very tasty.Special Features:
- Piatti - still love the food!hefetrubDined on 6/15/2014The remodel was a bit of a disappointment. Considering all of the amazing restaurant interiors in the Sacramento restaurant scene these days, the buzz about Piatti's remodel had my expectations on a higher tier. Although their efforts fell short there, the food was excellent and the service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 431 reviews are from the Piatti - Sacramento reviews archive.
- NorCaleatsVIPDined on 5/30/2014We enjoyed the wonderful chicken and the Friday night jazz series on the patio is a special attraction.
- Delicious & funOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/29/2014We ate a business lunch here. The kitchen brought out our main courses before our salads, so they gave us the salads for free. It was great service recovery and the food was out of this world- so fresh and exquisitely prepared.Special Features:
- Lemon cream sauces22kVIPDined on 5/24/2014Love their ravioli with this sauce but it's not always available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this placelove2eatDined on 5/24/2014First time here for dinner and it was as I expected. .. wonderful. The food is amazing, the service is great, and the portion size is what a portion should actually be. I came here on Mother's day for brunch last year and it was wonderful as well. Highly recommend this place! !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!FoodDined on 5/21/2014Great food, service and convenient location. I have eaten both lunch and dinner there. I most certainly will come back and recommend to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An off night?omnivoreVIPDined on 5/13/2014The food quality was inconsistent Tuesday night - not nearly as good as on previous visits. The bartender did not follow the recipe for the drinks and produced four very sour cocktails, and pea shoots served with the vegetables were so fibrous as to be inedible. Pork chops, veal, and pasta were excellent. Saving graces! When food/drink issues were noted to the waiter, he explained to us that WE must be wrong ("Italian 150's are SUPPOSED to be sour" and "pea shoots are just like that". Not an acceptable approach for wait staff! And, the waiter was "mentoring" a new waitress that night. I hope she did not learn his approach. I have liked Piatti a lot in the recent past, but I will wait a while before returning.Special Features:
- remodel worksOuiniVIPDined on 5/12/2014second visit to Piatti's after a very bad initial meal shortly after the remodel months ago. Piatti back on track with quality food, fairly priced, good service and a remodel that insulates the diner from the Fair Oaks Blvd cacophony. Remodel of nearby store was a visual distraction but to be expected as the Pavilions re-invents itself with the changing economic tideSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day DinnerMaeMDined on 5/11/2014Piatti's is a favorite spot for my mother and I. We were excited to go since renovations had been done. Very disappointed with the renovations. I had planned to take my husband for a date night due to the romantic, intimate setting and that is now gone. However, it would be great for a group of friends for a couples night out. Food was excellent as usual, even though they were out of majority of the entrees and the one dessert we really wanted. Make reservation before 7pm and you may get a better selection. Service (Anton) was also great- less my wine glass that had lipstick on it, but it was handled immediately. I would come back with a group of couples and maybe sit on the patio, just not for romance with the hubbySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our Experience at PiattiBigD76Dined on 5/11/2014Great service from our waiter. Good and consistent meals. A nice restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Mother's Day brunchBuckeye1VIPDined on 5/11/2014We were there for Mother's Day brunch and they were not busy. They felt it was because they generally don't serve brunch. Their menu was limited for breakfast items but what we had was good. Their bread pudding was to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

This post was contributed to FanSided.com from Randy Buchman of FanSided's very own Baltimore Orioles site, Birds Watcher. For more Baltimore Orioles news, check out BirdsWatcher.com.
The Baltimore Orioles enjoyed a powerful offensive first half of the season, led by Chris Davis who leads all of baseball with 37 home runs. Manny Machado has advanced his skills beyond his 21 years, providing a .300-plus average with more doubles than came be imagined, along with amazing defense at the hot corner. The Birds may well have the very best defense in the sport – often starting five former gold-glove winners.
But true to the fears of many, it is the starting pitching that has been the biggest challenge. The Orioles have already used 13 different starters. And while the bullpen is a team strength, they have not had the lights-out effectiveness of 2012. Closer Jim Johnson already has six blown saves and seven losses.
Major weaknesses in the lineup have been rotating efforts at second base and designated hitter – both positions where the Orioles are the statistical worst in the AL. Brian Roberts has recently returned and may solve the problem at second, while an intriguing possibility is the pending arrival of Cuban defector Henry Urrutia – who has crushed minor league pitching and is pounding on the door to be called up.
You can check out the complete review of the Orioles first half of the season over at BirdsWatcher.com.

Ghost: exactly, I've only ever done this strat when running with guildmates. Me (mage ofc), hunter, warrior, and resto druid, and sometimes another hunter.
Hunters often are not at the top of arena pvp, as the enclosed spaces, dead zone, and LoS in arenas really put them at a disadvantage. However, in the more open field of WSG, a good hunter can be absolutely godly, especially if he's pro at setting traps and micro'ing his pet. Plus, if a hunter gets just one Kill Shot off, that often times will be the deathblow against another player.
I highly recommend that hunters play WSG, or that you team up with a good hunter if you are going to be doing some WSG's during a weekend or something.

The only way you could tell today was different for the police chief was if you looked at his outfit. Today he was in a suit and tie when he normally wears his dress uniform to meetings. Chief Micheal T. Williams has talked openly the last few months about retirement but we don't know if he made the decision because of the election or if he planned it this way all along. Williams dodged cameras and skipped today's council meeting. Also retiring from the city is chief of staff Al Stokes.
"I've come back home, I'm going to stay at home and I'm happy I'm going to look forward to helping whoever it is that comes in after the mayor," says Stokes. Finance director Barbara Malkove is hanging up her calculator and retiring. We don't know about city attorney Larry Wettermark. He would only say he serves at the pleasure of the mayor.
"I am going to reach out to [Stimpson] and help him to help move Mobile forward," says Wettermark. Current mayor Sam Jones wasn't sure how many people will leave by November.
"I don't know, I can't tell you what Sandy Stimpson's going to do, you'll have to ask him about that," says Jones. One man who's confident he still has a job is Mobile Fire Rescue Chief Stephen Dean
"I still have a lot to offer I've been here 39 years and I'm planning on being here," says Dean.

Tommies Blog: Playoff Hopes Still Alive After Concordia Win
There were 21 seniors on the St. Thomas football team that left Palmer Field at O'Shaughnessy Stadium Saturday with both bittersweet and thrilled emotions. After giving up 13 early points, the Tommies outscored Concordia (Moorhead) 34-7 the rest of the game in a 34-20 victory to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The Tommies (6-2, 4-2) will have their playoffs ended with a loss, less than a year removed from a run to the Division III national championship game.

Very well said brother....
I found out the hard way about that cheap oil
They are comparing Kia vs Lexus lol
It has come to our attention that a new sponsor here has taken the liberty of posting
our list next to theirs and breaking down the entire list down to the penny per MG. How on Earth they have the time to do this is fuckin beyond me lol. So i would like to take
a few minutes out of my day and remind everyone what WE here at AMA are all
Those that know us, know that we have not only lived up to these expectations we have surpassed them. If we wanted to cut corners on production costs in order save some PENNIES then we would, but that's not what we're about as many of you already know. Without going into too many details we choose to use the best of everything we can get our hands on, which means we DO NOT use a carrier oil that is better off used in frying some chicken or putting on a salad :hmm:. Without dragging this out I would like to thank all of our loyal supporters by offering an EXCLUSIVE VIP members only list. Sorry but we don't have the time to do an entire break down of the VIP LIST against our competitors but maybe the "other sponsor" will be nice enough to re do theirs for us?
How do you become a VIP? and how do you get this VIP LIST? Well we make that
nice and simple for you just PM any of our reps (Sherk, Freight Train, Bama, and Heavy Iron) for the details.
Now to all my fellow ALPHA'S out there. The moral of the story here is.....DICK RIDING has never been a form of transportation . So lets please be ourselves stop riding them
Very well said brother....
I found out the hard way about that cheap oil
They are comparing Kia vs Lexus lol
The fact that Heavy is a rep for you guys should say it all. That's as far as I will take it. AMA FTW
Heavy is a good guy but don't cut Sherk short bro. Sherk has a good rep here as well and always responds prompt as hell to questions. I've been around here for over a year and have talked to Sherk in the past about certain products. If he doesn't feel someone would benefit from taking something, he will be honest and tell you.

I agree with u 10000% bro, when I was researching with AMA Sherk was the man! He always responded to my pm's and was happy to help with any questions I had. I'm just say for those don't know about Sherk and AMA, should see that heavy is a rep for them that should say a lot.

Emberly is 37 weeks old!
It's virtually impossible to get her to sit still enough for a clear picture… especially with my little point & shoot. So until I get a DSLR camera, this is the best I can do!
Emberly loves to clap and will clap on command. All you have to say is "Clap your hands!" and she will furiously clap them together. She focuses really hard to make sure that her hands touch together every time!
Poor baby girl has been really stuffy all week. Richard and I both have a light cold now too, which she probably gave us (I can't help but kiss both of them so I'll bet it's my fault).
A master at crawling around the entire house and waving "Hi" & "Bye" now, she is also starting to make the sounds associated with those words. Usually "Ha!" or "Ba Ba!"
Also, it seems like she doesn't want to nurse. EVER. Except for in the middle of the night. She only drinks two 4 oz bottles while I'm at work. That's only 8 oz! She nurses when she wakes up, when I get home, before bed, and then in the middle of the night when she wakes up. But she is really distracted, continuously unlatches, and I don't feel like she is getting any milk. Am I drying up? My milk supply is plummeting while I pump at work. I went from being able to get 4 oz per session to only 2 1/2-3 oz per session. I've heard that this is normal, but I know that babies are supposed to be drinking 24-32 oz per day. Is it possible for her to get dehydrated? She would nurse if she was truly thirsty, right?
18 Notes/ Hide
- annamannix said: …that I left for him the other day. I've found that for him, it's more about the comfort than the milk itself now. If she'll eat food and drink water, it's all good.
- bageldreams said: My baby boy has really slowed down on the milk intake, nursing mostly at night. We offer him a sippy cup of water at meal times which he drinks a little of. SHe looks super healthy and happy to me.

Osprey chamber under discussion
Date: February 4, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
With the void left by the sunset of the Osprey Revitalization Committee, some residents are looking for another organization to promote Osprey.
"We had a pretty good core group," said Rick Noyes, chairman of the former group.
Noyes and Realtor Norma Martin have begun discussing the possibility of creating an Osprey Chamber of Commerce.
The two are regulars at a monthly networking breakfast in which Osprey business owners and residents get together to promote their businesses.
"We have 35 to 40 people at the breakfasts," said Noyes. "I think we've reached critical mass."
Martin said after three years of meetings, the group has gotten large.
"If it gets too big, it'll be hard for people to speak," she said.
Noyes believes an Osprey chamber would do wonders for Osprey businesses.
"The goal is to create awareness of local companies and reinforce doing business with one another and to reach out to citizens to let them know that these businesses are there," he said.
The Venice Area Chamber of Commerce already serves Osprey, and its president and CEO, John Ryan, said the desire may be there, but there may not be enough people to support it.
"Osprey is very near and dear to us," said Ryan, who thinks a better option would be to increase Osprey business participation in his chamber.
Noyes agreed that there could be conflict there and suggested Osprey could be an affiliate of the Venice Area Chamber.
"I think it could be interesting," said Noyes.
Martin believes Osprey may be able to support its own chamber.
"Osprey is coming into its own," she said.

Salvador Díaz Mirón Biography and Poems. This is biographical information on Salvador Díaz Mirón, one of the best poets of all time. This biography page also provides a link to poems written by Mirón, as well as, a video biography...if available.
Salvador Díaz
Salvador Díaz Mirón (December 14, 1853 – June 12, 1928) was a Mexican poet. He was born in the port city of Veracruz. His early verse, written in a passionate, romantic style, was influenced by Lord Byron and Victor Hugo. His later verse was more classical in mode. His poem, A Gloria, was influential. His 1901 volume Lascas ("Chips from a Stone") established Mirón as a precursor of modernismo. After a long period of exile, he returned to Mexico and died in Veracruz on June 12, 1928.

For Immediate Release:Majority Caucus Louisville Metro Council Contact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622Louisville – Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13) will talk to an international audience on how partnerships between government and other groups can have an impact on a metro area when she addresses the 2012 International Town Gown Conference on Wednesday, June 6th at Eastern Kentucky University.
"I have been asked to talk to the attendees about the New Cut Road/ Taylor Blvd Corridor Plan which got underway last year," says Welch. "The focus of the conference is the practical approach partnerships can make when trying to get something accomplished."
The Corridor plan is a partnership between four members of the Metro Council: Welch, Marianne Butler (D-15), Dan Johnson (D-21) and David Yates. The Council members are working with The Kentucky League of Cities and the University of Louisville. The plan is addressing transportation and economic deelopment concerns along a well established thorofare in south Louisville.
The Councilwoman will be joined by Bobbie Bryant, KY League of Cities and Steven Bourassa, University of Louisville to offer an overview of the scope & significance of the corridor plan.
"As we have seen both here in Louisville and across the country, tight economic times have given many cities an opportunity to work with others to take care of important needs," says Welch. "I am happy to share how we are working together with other countries as they face the same challenges we do when it comes to important services."
The theme for the 2012 conference is "Town and Gown Partnerships for the Present and Future". Over 400 attendees are expected representing educational institutions/communities through the United States, Canada and several other countries. Included will be representatives from institutions and communities in Europe, South America and Asia with which Eastern Kentucky University maintains exchange agreements

Photos from the first day of the Bath & North East Somerset Youth Climate Summit 2012, organised by Green Vision. The first day of the summit included a wide array of wonderful speakers including those pictured above: Matt Williams, co-director of the UK Youth Climate Coalition; Jane Stephenson, CEO of Resource Futures and Tim 'Mac' Macartney, founder of Embercombe.
The second day of the summit, which seeks to reflect on yesterday's inspiration and help participants understand how they can use their new knowledge and learning in their schools, their communities and in their future lives.
Help fund the Bath & North East Somerset Youth Climate Summit!
This is a two day event which brings together 150 young people from across Bath and North East Somerset to learn about Climate change and other global issues which affect them.
On day one of the event we have 16 inspiring speakers talking on subjects that range from the science of climate change to economics, energy, migration, local food, coastal resources and youth climate action. These speakers include: Juliet Davenport, CEO Good Energy; Jane Stephenson, CEO Resource Futures; Tim Macartney, Founder Embercombe; Sarah Denie, Economist; Matt Adam Williams, Co-Director UK Youth Climate Coalition; Fergus Feilden, Founder and Architect at Feilden Fowles.
On day two we have a whole day of conversations which lead to creating personal or community led action. These conversations are hosted by young people and supported by a team of experienced facilitators.
More information is available at the summit's crowdfunding page here or at the summit's website here.
As you should know by now, the Bath & North East Somerset Youth Climate Summit is fast approaching. We would like to invite everyone - be they within the summit's usual age bracket or be they older - to a fringe event of the summit: an Evening of Inspiration and conversation to be led by our guest speaker, the internationally recognised sustainable living visionary, Tim "Mac" Macartney.
Mac founded Embercombe - a centre that champions a new way of living and inspires people to contribute energetically towards the emergence of a socially just, environmentally sustainable and spiritually fulfilling human presence on earth. Mac will explore the stories from the climate conference and lead a conversation on how we can support young people in developing this agenda.
Jamie Colston, Facilitator for Green Vision and Jenny Mackewn will the begin conversations about the future of Green Vision and the Youth Climate Summit. We will also be inviting questions about where we as a community could take this project in the future.
We are inviting parents, governors, teachers, school leadership teams and people who support young people in their journeys. By creating a synergy between the Climate Summits agenda, the young people, and you, we hope to develop momentum and commitment that leads to positive change.
To view the full, formal invitation to this event click here [pdf].

The Bath and North East Somerset Youth Climate Summit 2012 is fast approaching and it's time to present our opportunities for you to get involved in its running and organisation. The information is available in full here. We particularly recommend you check out the opportunities to participate in our Facilitative Leadership Training (pdf).
In the weeks preceding the summit, we will be training up to 32 young people in facilitation and leadership skills. The one day Facilitative Leadership course will give participants practical skills and an understanding of World Café and Open Space facilitation methods. These skills are used around the world by business consultants, leaders, community engagement specialists and conveners of conversations that matter. Those taking part in this training will then facilitate discussions at the summit, helping attendees engage with and reflect on the topics raised by our speakers and workshop leader. More information on the facilitative leadership training is available here.
People's Kitchen team
During the two day summit, we will cook 280 meals using in-date supermarket waste food. We aim to give 12 young people the opportunity to get involved practically from finding the food, creating a menu, cooking, and creating a setting for serving beautiful food. We will enable the young people to gain a Level 2 Food Safety qualification and hope that in experiencing this unique opportunity that they will take this idea back in to their schools with support from the Green Vision People's Kitchen team. This initiative will be led by a professional chef.
Although much of this work has already been completed, the opportunity to participate in a working group choosing the speakers and workshop leaders, designing the two day event and then facilitating the conversations that begin there and may continue inside and outside of school for some time. You will be supported by Green Vision's facilitator and trained in facilitative leadership skills, event design and organisation. This opportunity has given last year's co-designers confidence, leadership and project development skills and increased their potential for future employment.
If you are interested in becoming involved in either of these opportunities then please contact Jamie Colston on email@example.com or 07909 442006.
We've just released information about the 5th Bath and North East Somerset Youth Summit, which Green Vision will host in October.
An international movement for change is growing and young people are at the heart of it. Everywhere people are looking for a new generation of leaders to protect and restore our natural habitat and facilitate peace, fairness, equality and a creative economy that asks what we can do to make the world a better place for all.
This is the fifth Youth Climate Summit to be held in B&NES. For the first time it will be hosted by Kingswood School in Bath who have generously donated use of their premises. Green Vision will build on last year's inspiring summit, hearing voices from around the world on how people, young and older are empowering themselves and enabling change to create a socially, economically and environmentally just world.
You can view information on the summit here.
If you're a young person interested in getting involved in organising and running the summit, there's information available here.
Information about last year's amazing summit is available here.
If you're dead keen already and want to get a teacher to book places for your school, you can download a booking form here.
Earlier this month Green Vision headed over to Southstoke for our 'Vision Day'. We were joined by our newly recruited mentor-directors: Gavin, Janine and Steve.
We spend the day in the beautiful yurt pictured above, designing our strategy for the next year. We developed a plan of action for our bike-powered cinema project (now dubbed 'Wheels for Change') and mapped out the various groups of people that Green Vision had to engage with. Hopefully it will allow us to think a lot more strategically about our plans for the future!
Keep an eye on our website for updates about Wheels for Change - we'll be launching it very shortly!
Green Vision will have a stall at Penny Farthing Festival, taking place in Bath on 5th May, a fully bicycle-powered festival! Lots of top bands will be playing at the event, which is put on by students from Bath Spa University and supported by several local businesses.
Green Vision will be talking to attendees about everything we do, but especially our new cycle-powered cinema project. The new project, details of which will soon be announced, will see a team of young people trained to build a bicycle generator which will be used to put on events in and around Bath. This project will involve raising £12000 to fund training and equipment, and we'll see if Penny Farthing Festival can provide our first few donations!
For more information on Penny Farthing Festival, click here. It takes place between 3pm and 11pm on Saturday 5th May at Bath Pavilion. Tickets cost £3 for those under 13, £8 for students and those aged 14 - 18 and £10 for those over 18.
