Control Aversion and The Search for External Financing in Swedish SMEs
The discussion on growth (see Storey, 1997) and control aversion (Cressy, 1995; Chittenden et al., 1996; Cressy and Olofsson, 1996) in small and medium sized firms has been attracting an increasing amount of attention. Our purpose in this article is to identify under what circumstances small and medium sized firms are prepared to accept outside control in the business firm in order to grow. In the article it is argued that technology development, financial strength, size and perceived need to grow, change firms attitudes towards external financiers. The change in attitude towards more openness eventually leads to an actual behaviour where the principals choose to apply for external finance in the form of bank loans. A linear structural equation modelling program, LISREL, is used to analyse a sample of 281 Swedish firms. The firms all have less than 200 employees, and the sample includes both manufacturing and service firms. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2000

Despite this mild disappointment, the RD99DT's recording faculties are intact. It doesn't record the broadcast stream directly - DVD/HDD decks like this have to decode it first - but in XP mode the RD99DT captures the signal faithfully without introducing any additional noise, and you can't ask for much more than that.
SP mode also achieves superb results, giving you almost XP-like quality but using up less disk space in the process. LP, EP and SLP should be used only when you want to squeeze every last drop of space from the hard-disk - they certainly shouldn't be used to archive your wedding video. The blurred and jittery pictures are just about passable if you squint really hard or get drunk first.
As a DVD player the Toshiba does a fine job, particularly when you engage 1080p upscaling. Kingdom of Heaven looks adequately rich and cinematic during both light and dark scenes, while the sharp, artefact-free detail reproduction gives sweeping shots of armies and fleets of ships the impact they deserve. It doesn't stand up to the rigours of the Silicon Optix HQV disc as impressively, with some jagged edges letting the side down, but on the whole it's a superb effort considering that DVD playback isn't its primary objective.
Recorded sound is encoded by Dolby Digital Stereo Creator, and despite being more efficiently packed than a PCM track, it doesn't struggle for dynamism. Speech is clear and articulate, plus the vociferous peaks and troughs of your average movie, drama show or football match are conveyed with pleasing energy. These characteristics are also apparent when you feed sound to a TV or home cinema system through the analogue outputs.
If you like your recorders to be slick, cutting-edge and packed with multimedia playback features, then the RD99DT probably isn't for you - go and check out the Panasonic DMR-EX89 or LG RHT-497H instead. There's no hard-disk jukebox functionality, it can't record onto dual-layer discs, the operating system is clunky and Freeview picture quality is disappointing.
But that's not to say it's completely without merit - there's an excellent array of recording and editing features at your disposal, connections are plentiful and it's a pretty impressive DVD upscaler to boot. And at just over £200 online the RD99DT is fairly good value for a 250GB model, which might just persuade you to take a punt despite its limitations.

I really wish I could push a button, and every trace of you would disappear. I don't even have the ability to write a meaningful poem. I just want you gone. Every single trace. I can't give you an answer to why I want you gone. I just do. Sometimes things just work out that way. And it's not that I have bad feelings towards you, I just can't stand the thought of you, the sight of your name, anything. I wonder why things turned out the way they did. But I can't explain everything. Things just, Are. If I could, I'd take an eraser, and erase the story that was written, and that continues. You'd be gone in seconds. And I'd be better. You bring nothing but unwanted thoughts. So leave. Why won't you? There's something that holds you down, but I'd rather cut that string and let you fall. I would, If I could. But I can't, it's out of my hands. So I want to go away, But I'd rather you go away. I should be here, you should be gone. There's still a trace of you...But I want it gone. So disappear confused one. Go away, start a new life. Stop dragging on here. Just go.

Want Gasol at your next party?
Michael Fanker sort of looks like Pau Gasol. He's tall, sports a scruffy beard and wears his dyed hair similiarly.
He looks close enough to the Lakers forward that, according to his website, Fanter has fooled many people and made Lakers broadcaster Stu Lantz, Rick Fox and Norm Nixon all do double takes before realizing Gaosl wouldn't be sitting in the stands.
But the more unsavvy fans have mistaken Fanter as the real deal and asked to have their pictures taken. All of which, of course, gave Fanter the idea to make a career out of impersonating the 7-foot Gasol.
For a hefty fee (reportedly starting at $600), you can have Fanter attend your party, a tournament, or star in a commercial or film. His website says to check the calendar for availability and by the looks of things, he's available.
Personally, Fanter looks more like the GEICO cavemen that Gasol has been compared. Just saying.

Just for a day, if you could be me,
to do what i do, to see what i see,
you can open whats hidden, and trap what is free,
then when you've finished we can see what i'll be.
so just for a day, my soul's your's to peruse,
you can mould me and shape me, maybe give me a muse,
you can fix me and help me to stopper my fuse,
then when you've finished we can see through my ruse.
so just for a day, you can see my true face,
to see what i am, when my shroud's not in place,
to see what i am far from public embrace,
then when you've finished we can see my disgrace.
so just for a day, see who i really am,
see through my lies, see my everyday scam,
see through my lies, see the truth gram for gram,
then when you've finished, will you still give a damn?

I really like this. It's very straightforward, and you aren't trying to hide your intentions behind metaphors or similes. I like the ending as well; it's a challenge to the reader, to look through the the falseness of others. I feel it also challenges the reader to look inside themselves, and see if they are being false as well. Good work.

In another win for the famously blind meritocracy that rules American life, rewarding the ultra-talented and pushing the less brilliant and skilled into the outer darkness, Chelsea Clinton has landed a coveted position at NBC News. This was almost as much a surprise as her admission to Stanford; one can only marvel at the sheer guts and talent that have enabled her to overcome our society's fixed aversion to giving a chance to the relatives of the rich and the prominent.
On a more serious note, I know of no reason why the younger Ms Clinton should not have this or any job. But the increasing sense that this country is run by a hereditary celebrity class is one of the most corrosive and dangerous forces eating away at our common life.
The children of famous politicians could do our country an immense service if they sought out ways to serve that were more low profile. This would be particularly true for the children of extremely rich politicians.
It might be argued that it is unfair to expect a wealthy, smart and well connected young person to sacrifice natural ambition for the common good. But surely the poor and obscurely born also have to eat their share of the world's injustice. Maybe the rich and famous could also have a small taste?
This is not a point that will often be made in our celebrity crazed, wealth obsessed culture. It should be, and it is a sign of the deep trouble we are in that it isn't common wisdom. Meritocracy is not the same as nepotism and the mix of media, money, celebrity and politics, while to some degree inevitable, is also toxic and should be taken in the smallest possible dose.
Via Meadia wishes Ms Clinton and her far-sighted employer all the best; it also wishes the best to the millions of young people without wealth or connections who are struggling to launch their careers in these difficult times.

Lawyer: Accused man, woman in love
By AUDREY McAVOY
Associated Press
HONOLULU — An attorney for a defense contractor accused of giving military secrets to his Chinese girlfriend said Friday there was no evidence that classified information was given to China or to any other foreign country.
Benjamin Bishop, 59, was in love with the 27-year-old woman, who is a student, his attorney Birney Bervar said.
"He says he was in love with her and she led me to believe she was in love with him. It's not an espionage case, it's a case about love," Bervar told reporters after a detention hearing for Bishop.
Bishop is charged with one count of communicating national defense information to a person not entitled to receive it, and one count of unlawfully retaining national defense documents and plans.
An FBI affidavit alleges Bishop gave his girlfriend classified information about war plans, nuclear weapons, missile defenses and other topics through emails and telephone calls.
Asked if there was any proof that Bishop provided classified documents to the girlfriend, Bervar said he had not yet been given access to the evidence in the case. He said the evidence he has seen so far — the criminal complaint and FBI's affidavit — don't allege the woman was working for the Chinese government or that the information Bishop gave her was passed to the Chinese government.
But the affidavit alleges the woman may have attended an international defense conference in Hawaii, where she initially met Bishop, specifically to target people like him with access to classified information.
Bervar said he spoke to the girlfriend, who hasn't been named by authorities. Officials say she's living in the U.S. on a student visa.
The woman told Bervar agents went to her home on March 15 and seized computers but have since returned one computer and another laptop. She hasn't been arrested.
She also told Bervar she passed a government polygraph test, but the lawyer didn't say what questions she was asked.
FBI spokesman Tom Simon declined to comment. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson said he wouldn't discuss the girlfriend, who is identified in court documents only as "Person 1."
The charge of unlawfully retaining national defense documents charge stems from allegations that Bishop improperly kept some classified information at home, authorities said.
U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Richard Puglisi heard arguments Friday about whether Bishop should be released on bail.
Sorenson told Puglisi there was a risk Bishop would disclose classified information if he were released.
He said Bishop violated security oaths he signed when he failed to tell the government about his contact with the woman, as his security clearance required him to do because she's a foreign national. These claims, along with a 2003 arrest for prostitution, show Bishop can't be trusted with national security information, Sorenson said.
"He cannot be trusted to be out in the community with information that he has," he said.
But Puglisi said he was having difficulty understanding why Bishop posed a danger, because Bishop has been fired and no longer has access to classified information.
"If there's specific information related to potential for disclosure, I want to hear it," Puglisi said.
The judge brought up the example of Wen Ho Lee, a scientist at the center of a federal probe into nuclear secrets theft at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Lee wound up pleading guilty to a single count of downloading sensitive material after the government's case collapsed.
Puglisi noted that a judge ordered Lee to be held after finding he was a danger to the community because there were missing tapes that Lee could have disclosed if he were released.
Puglisi said there's no evidence Bishop has a secret thumb drive or hidden files containing classified information that he could leak if he were released before trial.
The judge set another hearing for Monday to give the prosecution more time to present more evidence about why Bishop might pose a danger to the community.
The judge said he also wants to give court officials an opportunity to interview a potential third-party custodian for Bishop if he is released.
The Army Reserve lieutenant colonel was working at the U.S. Pacific Command as a contractor when he was arrested a week ago. Officials haven't disclosed the name of the contractor employing him.
The affidavit says Bishop met the woman at an international military conference in Hawaii. They began an intimate relationship in June 2011, when Bishop was working at a Pacific Command office that develops plans to deter potential U.S. adversaries, according to the affidavit.

9 Cube Soap Silicone Mold
The cube soap mold you've been waiting for! This 9 cavity mold is great for production work or for the home crafter - since each cavity is separate you don't have to fill the entire mold at once. Although this mold holds nearly 3.5 pounds of soap (55 oz to be exact) if you fill each cavity to the tippy top we recommend filling each cavity to only 5 oz for ease of use. It high gloss finish on the inside resulting in a smooth, professional look to your soap.
Great for Cold Process, Hot Process, and Melt & Pour soapmaking, in our tests we found that the addition of Sodium Lactate in our Cold Process recipe was essential for ensuring that the soap wasn't too soft to release from the mold. This mold also works best with a recipe that has a low superfat and the soap comes out faster when using a 15% water discount (combined with Sodium Lactate).
Make perfect little soaps - we love this!
Mold Size: 7-3/4" x 7-3/4" x 2.5"Cavity Size: 5 oz, 2.125" x 2.125" x 1.75"Cavities: 9Mold Material: Silicone
This cube soap mold is everything I've wanted in size, shape, durability, functionality, purpose and price! It gives my soap a gorgeous sheen on the sides, and UBER easy to unmolding my cold processed soap. I've used sodium lactate in some btches, and left out in others to see the difference, and although SL really does make a hard bar, it isn't that necessary in my formula, as my soap pops right out, Beautifullyou, every single time. THANK YOU! Could have bought 1 25cavity mold but noooo, I needEd to buy 4 separate 9 cavity molds. Lol!
As someone who just took up soaping, I was actually semi concerned using silicone as a mold. I was afraid it wouldn't be strong enough to keep the shape. This mold has worked wonderfully! I'm making my 3rd batch with it today! My only concern is that because of my essential oils the silicone has started to discolor already and I hope this doesn't affect future batches.
I have fallen in love with this little thang! I can mix up a batch, seperate into however many sample scents I want to try and BAMM! I have super cute, totaly giftable or resellable test soaps!
Used it for CP. Sturdy. Easy to clean.
This mold is wonderful! It's sturdy and it gives my soaps a beautiful finish. So far I haven't had much trouble getting the molds out, but I haven't used it in cold process, only melt and pour.
This is my first but not last silicone mold. I love this mold! In full cube size the soap is a bit awkward to handle but such a fun shape. My second batch I filled the mold 2/3rd full and the size of the bars were easier to handle. Unmolding is quick and easy:) Thanks again BB

The Aces reclaimed the three-goal lead on a power play of their own when Scott Gomez broke into the zone and put a wrist shot into the top corner of the net from the slot at 6:52.

John, I think I've fixed this.
Between rev. 126 and rev. 127, the arguments order for jQuery.event.trigger changed dramatically ;)
Changing the arguments order in the call from jQuery.prototype.trigger makes this works again.

John Bailous was standing at a bus stop on a wide El Cajon Boulevard overpass in City Heights on Friday morning, surrounded by amenities you wouldn't expect to see on a freeway bridge: A plaza scattered with benches, tree planters, kiosks and a bathroom, which was closed.
"Only in San Diego you got a restroom at the transit center, and it's all locked up," Bailous said as he waited for a bus to take him downtown. "I ain't never seen it open."
Not only is the bathroom closed, residents like Bailous are still waiting for transit stops that have long been planned on that bridge.

General Motors has decided to sell its European arm, including Vauxhall, to Canadian car parts firm Magna, the German Chancellor announced today.
Angela Merkel told a news conference in Berlin the move was the outcome the German government had been working towards as it fought to preserve the firm's 25,000 jobs and four plants in Germany.
The decision is a blow to unions in the UK which have warned about possible job losses among 5,500 workers at Vauxhall's plants in Luton and Ellesmere Port if Magna was successful.
Sources had suggested earlier today that the GM board was set to decide not to go ahead with a sale, which would have eased fears of UK job losses.
But later speculation said GM had decided to sell its European arm to Magna, which is backed by Russia's Sberbank, a move confirmed by the German Chancellor.
Business minister Pat McFadden said: "Our objective throughout has been to get the best possible outcome for the Vauxhall workforce and the production plants in the UK.
"We have been in close contact with all parties throughout, including GM in the US and Europe, and all the potential bidders.
"Now GM has announced its preferred bidder is Magna. We will now continue our discussions with Magna: they have told us of their commitment to continuing production at both Ellesmere Port and Luton and we will work to make sure we get the best possible outcome for the UK."
Unite's joint general secretary Tony Woodley said: "The uncertainty surrounding the ownership of Vauxhall is now over, but the uncertainty surrounding the long-term future of Britain's plants will continue.
"One of the alternatives could have been the unthinkable position of liquidation.
"Nevertheless, with Magna as the new owner, we need to make sure that British plants and people are not treated disproportionately during the re-structuring that will take place. With that in mind, the union and the Government will no doubt continue to negotiate with Magna.
"We expect financial support from the UK Government for Magna to be dependent on the job and plant commitments given by the company."
Unions had been pressing GM not to sell its European business, believing this would be the best option for securing jobs in the UK.
Chancellor Merkel said "patience and resilience" during discussions had led to the sale decision being reached.
The decision has to be ratified by the Opel Trust, made up of representatives from GM, the German federal government and the German states that contain Opel plants, which is expected to announce its views later.
A rival offer for the business was made by Belgian investment group RHJ.
GM confirmed its board had recommended selling a majority stake of 55 per cent in Opel/Vauxhall, with employees holding a 10 per cent stake.
President and chief executive Fritz Henderson said: "Several key issues will be finalised over the next few weeks to secure the binding agreements, including the written support of the unions to support the deal with the necessary cost restructuring for viability and the finalisation of a definitive financing package from the German government.
"The definitive agreements should be ready to sign within a few weeks, with closing to follow within the next few months. Under the deal, Magna/Sberbank will purchase a 55 per cent stake in New Opel, GM will hold a 35 per cent stake and employees will be provided a 10 per cent stake.
"The hard work over the past two weeks to clarify open issues and resolve details in the German financial package brought GM and its board of directors to recommend Magna/Sberbank.
"We thank all parties involved in the intensive process of the last few months - especially the German government -for their continued support that enables this new venture. I'd also like to thank the Opel and Vauxhall customers for their continued loyalty. GM will continue to closely collaborate with Opel and Vauxhall to develop and produce more great cars, such as the new Insignia and the new Astra."
GM said the agreement will keep Opel/Vauxhall a fully integrated part of the firm's global product development organisation, allowing all parties to benefit from the exchange of technology and engineering resources."
"The new ownership structure constitutes a new lean, efficient and independent organisation for the Opel and Vauxhall brands. The current portfolio of Opel/Vauxhall cars and the models in the pipeline are a strong basis for future success," GM said in a statement.
John Smith, GM Group Vice President Business Development, added: "GM operates many joint ventures around the world and has proven in the past that this business model delivers the right balance of independence, innovation and synergies. All parties will work hard to close the deal as soon as possible."
The German government has been backing the joint bid from Magna and Russian bank Sberbank, offering almost £4 billion of finance.
Berlin championed the Magna bid because it involved guarantees not to shut down German plants, which employ 25,000 workers, but UK ministers have been pressing for a "commercial" decision to be made rather than one influenced by politics.
GM was considering the sale under moves to return to a firmer financial footing after emerging from US bankruptcy.

The FA had designated this as Sir Bobby Robson Day and it was an afternoon where one of his phrases hung heavily in the August air. "If," said the man who might have won the World Cup for England. "If... biggest word in football, son."
If is the biggest word in Watford. If they had had played to their potential in the play-off final against Crystal Palace, if Kevin Phillips had not produced an unstoppable penalty, they would be making their final preparations for the Premier League, wondering how the money would be spent and whether the glamour would have taken on a tinsel-like quality come November.
Even had Watford's owners, the Pozzo family, allowed Gianfranco Zola to spend no money at all in the summer, rather than bring in 13 players, they would have been better prepared than Hull for the season ahead.
As it is, Watford are top of the embryonic table as if Wembley had been a blip and, on this evidence, they can still claim to be the best footballing side in the Championship. This, their first home game of the season, was a statement of naked intent.
When, put through by Almen Abdi, Lewis McGugan fractionally delayed his shot to give him just the angle to drive into the top corner of Ryan Allsop's net, it was Watford's fourth and a chant of: "We're just too good for you" began bouncing around Vicarage Road.
That was, however, a long way from the truth for much of the match. Until they caved in early in the second half, Bournemouth looked at least as good, if not better than Watford.
When Lewis Grabban, who has now scored all three of Bournemouth's goals in the Championship, slid home Ryan Fraser's low cross, it was an equaliser they had earned. Bournemouth's manager, Eddie Howe, grew up in Amersham and Watford were the team he went to watch: "I think they will be the team to beat," he said. "But I think this will be the same kind of Championship that it was last season, very open and very difficult to read."
Only after the fourth goal did Howe's prophesy, delivered before Bournemouth's opening-day victory against Charlton, that: "this is a league where we shouldn't really be" sound like a warning.
Towards the end, Bournemouth disintegrated, allowing Troy Deeney, who had scored Watford's winner at Birmingham the Saturday before, to leave with the match ball stuffed under his shirt grinning at everybody after completing a hat-trick. The last two were a shot from the edge of the area and a penalty after Diego Fabbrini had been hauled wearily down.
The first was more important because the game was then still in the balance with Watford 2-1 up. Both goals had come from corners converted by Gabriele Angella, one of the flood of footballers from the Pozzos' other club, Udinese, who with Zola, have transformed football on the edge of the M25.
Fernando Forestieri, another of Udinese's exports, judged his through-ball superbly and Deeney muscled his way through two defenders to place his shot over Allsop's prostrate figure. Last August, Deeney was serving a sentence for affray after kicking a man in the head. Deeney was released early because of the remorse he had shown. His redemption is rather more important and rather more personal than his club's failure to make the Premier League but it is a stitch in the same fabric.
Nevertheless, for those clubs looking for a last-minute stopgap striker, Deeney may tick a number of boxes. "He is in a good environment here and maybe we can help him improve," said Zola. "He has worked a lot on his physical condition. He has power and ability and one of the qualities people don't see is his intelligence. I hope he stays."
Then came the fourth, very similar to the third except the pass came from Almen Abdi and the finish was McGugan's. It was over.
Nevertheless, Zola emphasised just how far Watford still have to travel and should they win automatic promotion, they will become only the third side since the formation of the Premier League to do so after losing a play-off final.
The first were Sunderland. After losing to Charlton on penalties after a 4-4 draw in 1998, Peter Reid ordered the team bus to stop at a pub outside Peterborough and told his players to get drunk and wash away the taste of defeat.
It must have worked because the following season Sunderland won the league with 105 points. As someone who drinks nothing stronger than espresso, they are tactics that to Zola would seem incomprehensible. But he is travelling, more soberly, to the same destination.
Watford (3-5-2): Almunia; Doyley, Angella, Cassetti; Anya, Faraoni, Abdi, Iriney, McGugan; Forestieri, Deeney.
Substitutes: Bond (g), Ekstrand, Battocchio, Acuna, Pudil, Fabbrini, Smith.
Bournemouth (4-1-4-1): Allsop; Francis, Ward, Cook, Daniels; MacDonald; Fraser, Arter, Surman, Pugh; Grabban.

Water Jet Nozzles Produce a Controlled and Erosive Environment
DynaFlow, Inc. has unveiled its Dynajets high-efficiency water jet nozzles. Dynajets produce a controlled and erosive environment, enabling increases in cleaning, cutting and drilling rates over conventional jet nozzles. Dynajets employ cavitation, acoustic excitation, and jet interruption and structuring to create high-frequency stresses on the target surface or in the liquid. This is accomplished through passive manipulation of the flow and interaction of the liquid with the nozzle geometry. This involves no moving parts and no additional power source.

Vice President Barrot's speech on
Sustainable Transport in the Alps
[ full text
On 13 October Jacques Barrot , Vice President of the European Commission and Commissioner in charge of Transport, made a speech in Chambery, France on the future of transport in the Alpine region. Transalpine transport is at the heart of the Commission strategy for an intermodal balance, which is even more important today given high oil prices. During 2005 approximately 200million tonnes of goods will cross the Alps, two-thirds of this by road. However, two-thirds of goods crossing the Alps via Switzerland are carried by train, which proves that the belief that the railways can play the leading role is not utopian. The Lyon-Turin and Brenner projects are emphasised as integral elements of readjusting the modal balance in the Alpine region.

The aim is to achieve a significant change in the modal split towards sustainable transport modes. In order to reach their goals, the 36 CIVITAS cities follow an ambitious and coherent approach to energy and urban transport policies. The "CIVITAS Forum" is a key element of the "CIVITAS Initiative". The Forum provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences. Cities that are members of the CIVITAS Forum benefit from the experience of those other likeminded cities that are at the forefront in introducing clean vehicles, alternative fuels and innovative policy measures to improve urban transport.

European Commission authorises Czech
Republic to grant €74 million aid to its coal industry

The European Commission decided on 20 October not to raise any objections to the €74 million aid which the Czech Republic is proposing to grant its coal industry. The aid is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market. The money is exclusively intended to cover so-called inherited liabilities, which arise in the context of the closure of coal mines. The Czech coal industry does not receive any subsidies for current coal production. The Commission today also decided that the state funding of the public body PKU (Palivový kombinát Ústí) does not constitute state aid, as PKU is not carrying out an economic activity.

Proportion validity example
Understanding Proportions. Created by Sal Khan and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education.
Video transcript
Is the proportion true or false that 3/12 or 3:12 is equal to 5/35 or 5:35? Now to figure this out, we just have to figure out whether these are equivalent fractions, and the easiest way to do that, is to put both of them in simplified form, and see if we get the same answer. So let's try with 3/12 first. So if we have 3/12, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 3. So let's divide by 3. So divide the numerator by 3, and let's divide the denominator by 3. We get 3 divided by 3 is 1. 12 divided by 3 is 4. So 3/12 is the same thing is 1/4. Now let's try do the same thing for 5/35. 5 over 35-- I'm leaving some space so we can divide-- well, these are both divisible by 5, so let's divide the numerator and the denominator by 5. So if we divide the numerator by 5 and the denominator by 5, the numerator, 5 divided by 5 is 1, and then 35 divided by 5 is 7. So this thing is equivalent to saying that 1/4 is equal to 1/7, which is clearly not true. This is clearly not true, so the proportion is false.

US Reverend Jesse Jackson with Julian Assange on a balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
Ecuadorian officials reportedly considered disguising WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in fancy dress to smuggle him out of their embassy in London to evade police.
Other alleged escape plans involved Assange becoming lost in the crowds at the nearby Harrods department store or making a dash across rooftops to a helipad.
The proposed plans are detailed in leaked internal Ecuadorian government documents, Buzzfeed News in the UK reports.
The 44-year-old Australian has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012, seeking to avoid extradition to Sweden over an investigation into rape and sexual assault allegations.
Another mooted option for getting Assange out of the UK was to appoint him Ecuador's representative to the UN or smuggle him out to the airport in a diplomatic car.
Further options outlined in the leaked report were that Assange "could leave in fancy dress" or be put into a diplomatic bag, considered inviolable by treaty.
But officials reportedly dismissed the latter plan as they knew police outside the embassy had advanced technology to detect body heat.
British police have a constant presence around the embassy and the options considered were never attempted.
As well as the escape plots, the documents detail alleged clashes between Assange and embassy security staff and concerns raised about his mental health.
In September 2012 it's alleged a guard found him in an off-limits secure control room in the embassy, leading to a scuffle and the toppling of a computer screen.
In January 2013, a security guard reported hearing a loud crash from Assange's small room then finding a large bookshelf had fallen over.
Assange reportedly claimed it had fallen of its own accord.
The documents also note instances of Assange shouting and talking incoherently at night and this was attributed to the stress of his situation.
The report recommends regular monitoring of Assange's mental and physical health and states "his evident anger and feelings of superiority could cause stress to those around him especially the personnel who work in the embassy, mainly women," Buzzfeed reports.
The report also notes a need to control access to alcohol.
Swedish officials began talks with Ecuadorian officials in Stockholm this week on setting up legal guidelines so Swedish prosecutors could interview him at the embassy.
Assange has been granted asylum by Ecuador as he seeks to avoid extradition to Sweden on the sex allegations and to the US to face espionage charges over damaging WikiLeaks releases of security information.

"No amount of money can make me endorse something I'm not 100-percent behind." -Shaq
We're proud excited to share the values with both Quickbooks and Shaq.
Mark your calendars and share!

Citigroup, fresh from a boardroom tussle that led to Vikram Pandit's ousting from the chief executive's chair, announced 11,000 redundancies today, a move that will cost the financial behemoth more than $1bn (£620m).
Its shares ticked upwards as it released news of 1,900 lay-offs in its institutional clients' business, 6,200 in its consumer banking arm and 2,300 in its back office. Other divisions are also expected to see cuts as the bank pares down its staffing numbers.
The cuts – presented as a "repositioning" – will land Citi with a bill which it will absorb as a charge of $1bn in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $100m in the first quarter of 2013. It expects to save more than that amount as a result of the cuts by 2014.
Michael Corbat, who replaced Mr Pandit in October, said the cuts were part of the series of actions taken in recent years to make the business leaner as it attempts to heal the wounds endured during the financial crisis by shedding non-core functions. "These actions are logical next steps in Citi's transformation," he said.
"While we are committed to – and our strategy continues to leverage – our unparalleled global network and footprint, we have identified areas and products where our scale does not provide for meaningful returns. And we will further increase our operating efficiency by reducing excess capacity and expenses, whether they centre on technology, real estate or simplifying our operations."
The business, Mr Corbat added, had "come a long way over the past several years".
News of the cuts refocused attention on the influence of Citi's chairman, Michael O'Neill, widely seen as a key mover in Mr Pandit's abrupt departure and Mr Corbat's instalment at the top of one of the world's largest financial businesses.
He is known as a ruthless cost-cutter, and in the past turned around the Bank of Hawaii, partly by maintaining a stringent focus on costs and its core businesses.
