To achieve effective collaboration with entrepreneurs, leadership must be the catalysts for change and ensure that the organization as a whole is willing to rally around new models of innovation. Companies need a clear rationale for which ideas get developed internally, and which should be candidates for external collaboration. A holistic innovation strategy, which defines objectives for both internal and external innovation, is essential.
Delivering agile innovation
Creating value from collaboration with entrepreneurs in retail and consumer products
We live in the age of innovation, driven by the rapid evolution of technology and data which has fundamentally changed consumer behavior. This is creating unrelenting pressure on consumer products (CP) and retail companies to put innovation at the center of their business.
Succeeding in this environment requires CP and retail companies to develop a highly agile model for innovation that accelerates speed to market and helps them to re-imagine business models and transform consumer experiences.
Yet delivering transformation on this scale is extremely challenging. Our survey confirms that innovation is becoming increasingly difficult. Most large companies are hardwired to maximize efficiency, minimize variances and avoid experimentation. This can be incompatible with a culture in which risk-taking is a prerequisite for success.
A growing number of companies are now looking outside their organizations for new ideas. Smaller entrepreneurial firms offer the agility and creative thinking that larger organizations need to unplug innovation bottlenecks.
Yet, in practice, it is very difficult to get these collaborations right. Overcoming the challenges of collaborating will be critical to delivering agile innovation.
The nine principles of agile innovation
Based on our experience, successful collaboration with entrepreneurs and startups requires companies to adopt nine principles.
Click on each principle to read more.
Large companies frequently have a fear of failure and a reluctance to experiment. Initiatives, such as Six Sigma, which are designed to minimize variances, can exacerbate this. Business leaders must nurture a culture in which ideas and experimentation are encouraged and embrace failure as an opportunity to learn, while ensuring the benefits of the Six Sigma model are not lost. The two cultures must co-exist.
Entrepreneurial firms are typically unencumbered by bureaucracy. Many embrace near-lean methodologies, which means they have a very efficient approach to identifying, discarding or pursuing new innovations. Large CP and retail companies should embrace this attitude as much as possible, empowering managers to make rapid decisions. Common agreement and clarity around the problem statement is also critical.
Successful collaborations do not just depend on finding the right entrepreneurs. Large companies also need to identify the right internal team to manage those relationships. CP and retail companies need to look for individuals who have the right mindset and can serve as effective, "multilingual" translators between the entrepreneurial and corporate worlds.
CP and retail companies need a framework that provides the flexibility to allow different engagements, but within defined parameters. Some companies will prefer to use an intermediary, while others will choose an incubator model. Keeping collaborations at arm's length from the core business will typically make sense, to give them space to breathe and the ability to operate under slightly different rules.
CP and retail companies have very different cultures, processes and speeds of working compared with startups. Aligning expectations requires the ability to clearly understand each other's concerns. Both should be clear about their roles, responsibilities and expectations. Open, frequent communication is essential. Successful collaboration requires both parties to embed themselves in each other's business environment so that there is a deep mutual understanding and alignment.
Business processes need to be changed in order to collaborate effectively with entrepreneurs. For example, the large company's procurement processes may take several months to navigate, but that may be too long for the small startup with just a few months of funding to develop a new idea. Business leaders must accept variance from the corporate norm and ensure that these normal processes and rules can be circumvented, without undermining their validity for the core business.
When collaborating with entrepreneurs on innovation, tightly defined performance metrics will not work. Equally, it is important not to obsess over perfection. Developing ideas quickly that are "good enough," then testing and refining them in an iterative process, is often a more effective way of innovating than laboring over perfection.
Entrepreneurs have much to teach large organizations about innovation. Their emphasis on rapid prototyping, and willingness to take risks and learn quickly from mistakes are the bedrock of their capacity to innovate. Although multinational CP and retail companies may never have the agility of the startup, it is essential that they embed mechanisms to learn from smaller collaborators, and refine their own approach to innovation by adopting some startup behaviors and approaches.

If TAMU still decides to come we will start to hear a LOT more TCU and Louisville rumors.
No we won't unless you start them. TCU has never been in our radar and UK will not want Louisville in this conference.
I read them all day (rumors). The latest is TCU to the big12. With still an internetz full of TCU to SEC rumors. TCU is not under contract atm. And would be an easy add.Mizzou is not leaving now. TAMU is hellbent on leaving. WVA was already told "no thank you" and might make the SEC look bad to go back and recant that.As far as the in state agreement, that is a verbal agreement and some arms could be twisted in Kentucky. All this being said I still think the SEC may stay at 13 schools for a season. But all of this is conjecture. You guys can moan and whine that rumors do not exist all you want. I pretend my wife doesnt exist at times too... but then she rears her ugly head.
But all of this is conjecture.ou You guys can moan and whine that rumors do not exist all ywant. I pretend my wife doesnt exist at times too... but then she rears her ugly head.
They would have to, unless they add a third new team in the west (Kansas?).We might be going back to the old (2 permanent, 1 rotating) schedule. Who's ready to play Tennessee again every year?
"PAC 12" announcing they are just fine with 12 members. Don't need any other teams to add to their conference, thank you very much.
while the Longhorn Network runs wild and free.
I've been saying for the longest time that Oklahoma really had no options. People are stupid and get to thinking that this is somehow related to how big of a football factory you have - heck, the SEC and Pac 12 both have plenty of football factories on the level of the Sooners. Big Whoop.The whole TV market thing is vastly overblown too. We all know the "academic fit" is simply a front. OK is not favored by geography, footprint for a conference, tv market, culture or academics. OK has no vast pool of recruits that anyone is going to fight over either. It's been one big long bluff for a while for them simply because they were aware how bad it looked for them to hang to Texas' ass hairs. Bluff over. They're going to have to make the Big 12 work, which isn't really a bad option for them and Texas anyway. Bring in BYU, TCU and Houston and you have a fine 12 team conference that Texas still controls. Bring in Boise and you have a media darling. What's the negative for Texas and their little bitch in Norman?
but who really fricking knows?
Give me one good reason why a conference with 2 national TV contracts, who is already getting played in every football watching house in OK, would want or need the Sooners. They have no recruits. They have TV markets the size of Memphis or less and again, we're already in them. They add nothing that the SEC doesn't already have, in spades. Texas A&M was the prize for the SEC - a huge footprint in Texas local news and the ability to claim Texas as SEC country. A&M has the big budget and alumni base. They're good enough in all the sports. They bring upside while bringing few demands, unlike the Sooners and Longhorns. The SEC wants a school in NC or VA. They'd fall back and take Mizzou simply for the purposes of blocking out the Big 10 and completing a 14th and I'm not sure they even need a 14th team - it may stay 13 for a while. We aren't going to 16 team mega conferences - that's always been media bullshit that the herd believes. Everyone is going to max out at 14 because after that, there really isn't anyone out there for the big conferences that adds anything substantial. The Big 10 wants Notre Dame and knows that at some point Rutgers is the smart long term move so that you can have a toe hold for trying to actually create college football fans in the biggest market that exists. Mizzou is their fallback and UConn is going to be somebody's fall back as well - Big 10 or ACC. I may be all wrong but I just think that almost all the stuff we have heard for 2 years is misinformation and spin and posturing. Once you really look at it all from each player's perspective, it doesn't look at all like what we keep hearing from ESPN and such.
Worst case scenario is, the SEC and media hunker down and start counting beans and the process of culling teams begins. I realize this is a falling sky possibility and at this point the SEC seems immune to the viral nature of what is going on in collegiate athletics. But anything ain'tsuprising me anymore in regards to this aMm. It certainly would be d-vasting to lose members of this conference.

This has probably been covered before but how exactly does a 13-team schedule in a split division conference work?

Winner of Your Best Soda Fountain Recipe
Congratulations to inpatskitchen, whose A Tribute to Woody (Homemade Ginger Ale Float) won this week's contest for Your Best Soda Fountain Recipe, earning her big prizes from Viking, OXO and Tiny Prints, and a spot in the next food52 cookbook!
Q&A with inpatskitchen
- Describe an early food experience that has influenced the way you think about food and/or cooking.
- I was always amazed at how my Mom was so organized when preparing for large dinners or family get-togethers. She was an amazing cook and I watched carefully. Every year she would do a sit down dinner for 10 to 12 on Christmas at 1 pm and then at 4:30 would open up the house for 30 to 40 more for a large buffet. She taught me how to cook and plan ahead and to this day if I can prepare anything ahead of time, I do. I inherited her "Betsy Clark" recipe file book in which she wrote many of her recipes (although not too precisely) and refer to it frequently. It's well worn and very stained but so many good things are in it, as well as so many memories.
- What's your least favorite food?
- I'll eat them but I'm not crazy about Sloppy Joes.
- What is the best thing you've made so far this year?
- Husband Tom will always say my Beef Burgundy, but I actually think the Spring Vegetable and Salmon Nicoise Platter that I made for Your Best Spring Vegetable Recipe contest was terrific and can see making it frequently this summer with seasonal vegetables.
- Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster.
- Actually this past week ... I made pork hand pies for the street food contest but they turned into "bricks". Tom tossed a piece of pork into the dog's bowl and it literally bounced! Oh well, you win some ... you lose some.
- What is your idea of comfort food?
- Roast chicken and then the next day chicken noodle or rice soup from the leftovers.
- Apron or no apron?
- No apron ... just a lot of Zout and Shout!
- What's your favorite food-related scene in a movie?
- I'm not much of a movie-goer but I did get a kick out of Darryl Hannah eating the whole lobster (shell and all) in Splash until I found out it was all tofu!
- If you could make a show-stopping dinner for one person, living or dead, who would it be?
- Probably my mom ... I think she'd actually enjoy my cooking.
- You prefer to cook: a. alone, b. with others, c. it depends on your mood
- I prefer to cook alone but it's probably because of the size of my kitchen.
- When it comes to tidying up, you usually: a. clean as you cook, b. do all the dishes once you've finished cooking, c. leave the kitchen a shambles for your spouse/roommate/kids to clean.
- I usually clean as I cook but I have been known to leave the kitchen in shambles.

POLITICAL POINT: Three-year-old Carter Kincheloe had lots of interest in a 12-foot Trojan horse that appeared Thursday afternoon at the Gothenburg Public Library, even though the toddler had no knowledge of the Amendment 3 proposal to increase legislators' term limits from eight to 12 years. Scott Tillman of Michigan built the horse out of white pine. He is hauling it, along with its political message, to 30 Nebraska communities with friends, Gary Heinzle and Mike Groene of North Platte, representatives of Nebraskans Against Amendment 3.

Jennifer Huston death declared suicide
SHERIDAN — Newberg-Dundee police have declared the death of missing Dundee wife and mother Jennifer Huston a suicide.
Huston's body was found Tuesday near her car on a logging road off of Gopher Valley Road. Inside her car was an empty packet of sleeping pills she had purchased from a pharmacy the last day she had been seen. The cause of death has been ruled asphyxiation.
Police are still waiting for toxicology results. Huston left behind a note addressed to family members inside her vehicle.
The medical examiner determined that Huston had died very close to the time she had been reported missing July 24.
In a note, members of Huston's family expressed their gratitude to the community, law enforcement and media in attempting to find her. No plans for a memorial service have been made yet.
A neighbor spotted a green SUV that matched the description of Huston's vehicle Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. and alerted authorities. Yamhill County sheriff's deputies were dispatched to cordon off the area and secure the scene.
When Newberg-Dundee detectives arrived, they conducted a sweep of the area. In the course of that, they discovered Huston's body in a wooded area about 50 yards from her car.
Detectives proceeded to notify the family, the Yamhill County District Attorney's Office, the state Medical Examiner's Office and the Oregon State Police Crime Lab.
While they still need to complete their investigation, they said, there was nothing to suggest foul play and thus no indication of any danger to the public.
Authorities had searched the area from the air, but heavy tree cover obscured the car.
Police said her car had a full tank of gas and did not appear to have been involved in an accident.
Huston, 38, has been missing since the evening of Thursday, July 24. The news of her disappearance spread across the country and large-scale searches were conducted by friends, relatives, authorities and civilian well-wishers.

Editor's Note: Thousands of Nova Scotians face daily challenges keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table, let alone living a safe and rewarding life.
Today 500 volunteers fan out across the city for a day of action, part of a
campaign by United Way, supported by Halifax Regional Municipality, to develop and implement a comprehensive anti-poverty strategy. In the coming months, we'll be watching how they do and bringing you stories of people, their struggles and solutions, large and small.
Amy Cresine is making it work.
"It's falling into the ground," the single mother said of the little old house she rents in Guysborough.
Last Friday afternoon she had a fire on in the stove in the kitchen and a pile of dishes to get done.
She had Christmas presents for her four children to think about.
Her mother's health to think about.
She'd just got back from working as a monitor at the elementary school.
If there was time before her four kids got home from school, she'd spare a bit of time for improving the home they return to.
In rural Nova Scotia there's often just not another place to rent.
"People around here, they want to sell," said Cresine.
"I have eyes everywhere looking for another place."
Deciding to stay
There is nowhere in Guysborough with room for four children and herself that she could afford on the $600 a month she is provided through social services. She is on the list for a new place through the Eastern Mainland Housing Authority, and if somewhere better comes up they'd be willing to bump her to $700 a month.
But for now, this is where she'll make her stand.
Her life is all about decisions.
She might have better luck finding a place in a bigger community, or even a more rural one.
But Cresine has decided to stay in Guysborough because she has parents and aunts and uncles nearby who provide critical support — a drive when one is needed, a set of eyes on the children at times, and a sense of community.
"It's better for my kids here," said Cresine.
"I feel better about letting them run up the street than I would in Antigonish."
After the bills are paid she has about $800 a month for groceries, school supplies, clothes and all the other things four children need.
"It's hard but you do the best with what you have," said Cresine.
Beyond family and a sense of safety — Cresine came home to the community after living in Antigonish and Kentville — Guysborough has other things going for it.
So she doesn't need a car.
She walks to her job as a lunchtime monitor at the school, which pays about $214 a month. (Social Services claws back 70 per cent of anything she earns over $150 dollars monthly.)
Six evenings a week she's walking children to something — art nights, ugly sweater walks, Jumpstart, Girl Guides.
"Our municipality is really good for that and most of it doesn't cost us anything," said Cresine.
Measuring victory
When they moved into the house five years ago it had a tiny wood stove in the kitchen. With a draft coming through the wooden floor boards, the house would nearly freeze up at night.
So she bought a larger, more modern, used stove from a friend who let her pay it off as her cheques came in. Her father installed it. She has six cords of firewood, bought by Social Services, stacked out back.
The house was two bedrooms but with her father's help they converted it into a three-bedroom.
There's an electric storage heater that looks out of place in the old house in what serves as a living room. It heats bricks during the off hours when electricity is cheaper, then allows the heat out during the day — but she finds it expensive to run so she relies on the wood as much as possible.
What constitutes a victory in housing, as in life, is often determined by how you measure it.
Cresine didn't plan on being a single mother to four children
But she is one and she's making it work the best she can.
The house she's renting, at least for now, is the best option available to her.
"My children aren't growing up with a silver spoon in their mouths, but they have what they need," said Cresine.
"Life's not easy, but I do enjoy my children and watching them grow."

Pre tých zdatnejších v angličtine a tých, ktorým sa nezdá niečo z môjho prekladu =D =)
DOOM, GLOOM AND PERSONAL GROWTH - Stefan (Paul Wesley) has his own ideas about Elena's (Nina Dobrev) new plan for the future. While Damon (Ian Somerhalder) tries to get the truth out of Jules (guest star Michaela McManus), he asks Elena to keep an eye on Rose (guest star Lauren Cohan), a situation that turns unexpectedly dangerous. Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig) try to be honest about their feelings for one another, and Tyler's (Michael Trevino) reaction to Caroline's generosity comes as a surprise to her. Damon struggles to hide his true feelings when a life-and-death crisis hits him harder than he expected. Matt Davis also stars. Marcos Siega directed the episode written by Sarah Fain & Elizabeth Craft (#212).

This is the second episode from Food Network's Melissa d'Arabian that I've watched. Her show is called $10.00 dinners and I have to say that I am enjoying her show. I can relate with her, since I consider myself to be a home cook, with no formal culinary training. Did I make this meal for $10.00? If you don't include the cost of many of the pantry items, I could. Well, let me show you:
Here are the simple ingredients: Orange juice concentrate, chicken breasts--bone in, skin on, honey and salt & pepper. Three chicken breasts cost about $8.25. I admit that I'm a little picky about using frozen concentrate, so I paid about $2.75 for this version, that doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup. The honey cost $6.00, from a local bee keeper right down the street where I live. I'm a little over budget, but I only used 1/2 cup of the orange juice and the rest is in the freezer for another time. I only used 4 Tablespoons of honey, so I guess you could say I was within budget of how much of the ingredients I used... now, for the sauce.
Roll up your sleeves. In a pot, pour 1/2 cup of frozen orange juice concentrate (no need to thaw), 4 Tablespoons honey, some salt and pepper. Yes, that's it! You won't even break a sweat.
TIP: I poured olive oil in my measuring cup and poured the oil into the skillet I was going to use. Next, I pour in the honey into the same measuring cup-- the honey slides right out!
Season the chicken with kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper. Always be careful when working with raw chicken, of course. These chicken breasts are resting on a silicone cutting sheet, on top of my wooden board. That way, I don't cross-contaminate and I wash the plastic mat in the dishwasher. You want the chicken to come to room temperature-- 15-30 minutes, tops.
TIP: Melissa reminds us that we should buy chicken on sale and freeze it. To quick thaw frozen chicken I never use the microwave. I soak chicken (I use a Food Saver bag) in a bowl of water. Within 30 minutes, it's safely thawed.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Heat an oven-proof skillet with 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (you can use olive oil, but when I am searing I prefer vegetable oil because it has a higher smoke point). The idea is to sear the chicken and get that beautiful crispy skin. The secret? Be sure that you chicken is bone dry...pat, pat, pat with towels to get all moisture off. Bring the oil hot enough to where it ripples, but it's not smoking. Put the chicken in, skin down, and sear the meat for 3 minutes (not moving it around). Flip the chicken over and glaze the chicken with a brush-- don't POUR the sauce on (or the skin can become soggy).
Put the oven-proof skillet into the oven and bake/roast for about 15-20 minutes. We want an internal temperature between 160F-170F. Halfway through I carefully (remember, the handle is hot) removed pulled out the skillet and glazed the chicken again.
I'd say the chicken is cooked. Look at the pan sauce! Remove the skillet, and set the chicken onto a carving board and cover with foil-- let is rest for about 10 minutes.
What I like about this recipe, is that there is nothing to deglaze and no sauce to reduce. It's already passing my "test" that when I ran a spatula through it, it separated. This really is a tasty sauce.
I'm still working on my "removing bones from chicken skills"-- but I managed to cut out the breast bone and then I sliced the chicken breasts. Melissa was right-- I had four generous portions.
I plated this with Melissa's Perfect Crisp Potatoes and Haricot Vert with a compound butter of tarragon and herbs. The entire meal took less than an hour, from start to dining room table.
Melissa, you did it! The chicken was really moist, and the sauce... mmm-mmm-mmm. My son does not like chicken breast meat at all. He ate this dinner and said it was incredibly delicious.
One last thing about this recipe-- buying chicken breasts with bone-in and skin on is more economical, and I do believe that the bone keeps the meat juicier. I have a confession to make, though-- can you guess? I don't like chicken skin. Still, I loved the recipe-- I ate every single bite...except for the skin.
...and, I really loved this recipe, too! These potatoes are so easy to make, non-greasy and very Parisian. I'm going to tease you, and post how to make these on a separate post.
I'm officially a fan of Melissa d'Arabian. I made both of these recipes in under an hour. Truthfully, I would serve this dinner to company. I also think that the sauce would be delicious with pork tenderloin-- and I definitely plan to test that theory.

Leflore boys could have banner season this year, while girls will be a work in progress
LEFLORE — For Leflore Basketball Coach Todd Hackler, he will do something he has not done in quite a while — coach both boys and girls teams. But thanks to Assistant Coach Tony Marris, Leflore's baseball coach, Hackler believes that he can once again handle both duties.From his Savage team's perspective, Hackler sees his team as a sleeping giant."I think we have a special group here," said Hackler, whose boys' team is 1-1 so far on the young season. "We have a group that will be pretty solid."On the other hand, it will likely be a work in progress for Hackler with regards to the Lady Savages (0-2). He has three players back from last season's team.

Meet Rosina Day 1 of 3
Lesson 1 of 3
Objective: SWBAT ask and answer questions to determine a person's challenge in an informational text.
Big Idea: What is life like being deaf? What does it mean to learn math, writing, reading, and art? What about playing basketball? Come read how Rosina does it.
Summary and Context
Today, we will read an informational text, call, Meet Rosina by George Ancona. We will read it with text dependent questions. As we read, we will identify Rosina's challenge. The questions ask what the text states explicitly.
I will provide visual clues for my students to help them understand the word challenge before we read the text. My students will have an opportunity to discuss what was learned.
Lesson Opening:
I start with students on the rug and share the objective. I ask the students:
•What does challenge mean?
I ask them to pair share first, before some share out loud.
To help my students fully understand the word I provide pictures to create a chart. I say,
"boys and girls to make sure you understand the word challenge, we are going to come up with a definition together."
I place the following pictures on the chart:
After taping each picture to the chart, I ask them what they see in each and how that is a challenge?It is a quick discussion.
After I put all the pictures on the chart, I ask them what they think the work challenge means. We come up with a collective definition. Then, I dismiss by asking them to go to the table of contents in their anthology and find the page number of our selection, Meet Rosina.
Resources (3)
Now we read the first part of Rosina. We read them with text dependent questions. These questions ask explicitly what the text states. The story is 18 pages long and so I am reading the first 10 pages first.
I use a couple of reading techniques: cloze reading and silent reading. A cloze reading means, I read and intentionally leave out a word out for my students to read chorally. The storyline is not complex and that is why I am letting them read silently. I will modify this technique if I find the students are not understanding.
These are Rosina's text dependent questions for the first part.
Resources (1)
Brain Dance
To transition into the next task, I ask my students to get up and get ready for brain dance. Brain dance is a way to help my students wake up and reenergize their brains. We alway start with breathing. I am attaching a document that lists all the eight movements to give you an option of which movements you want to do with your class. Music is welcomed.
Resources (1)
Identifying the Challenge
Now I create a chart where we discuss two questions:
•What is Rosina's challenge? and
•How does she respond to the challenge?
Here is the chart:
I didn't take a picture the first day so the chart includes both days.
Resources (1)
Learning Sign Language
I gather my students on the rug. I want to give them to experience speaking Sign Language. For English Language Learners, it helps to give them concrete experiences to understand abstract concepts.
Please note: You may choose to skip this step and do something else.
I ask my students to sit around the room and practice signing their names.
Before I partner them up, I explain American Sign Language and give each a sheet.

Resources (3)
Debriefing the Lesson
I gather my students on the rug and debrief the lesson. I ask them what they learned about Rosina today. Here is one student's response:
I have them pair-share and then a few share out loud.
I review the objective and bring closure to the lesson.

SANDY HOOK, N.J. - May 1, 2013 --A popular swimming and fishing beach area has reopened, little more than six months after sustaining serious damage from Superstorm Sandy.
Gates to the Gateway National Recreation Area at Sandy Hook opened Wednesday morning to accommodate anglers. Sandy Hook is a prime spot for bluefish and striped bass in the spring.
Many of Sandy Hook's historic buildings and many of its beaches were damaged by Sandy.
However, officials say the park's nude beach and beaches B and North will be open by Memorial Day.
Parking will be limited while lots are repaired.

Exception.StackTrace Property
The .NET API Reference documentation has a new home. Visit the .NET API Browser on docs.microsoft.com to see the new experience.
Gets a string representation of the immediate frames on the call stack.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property ValueType: System.String
A string that describes the immediate frames of the call stack.
The execution stack keeps track of all the methods that are in execution at a given instant. A trace of the method calls is called a stack trace. The stack trace listing provides a way to follow the call stack to the line number in the method where the exception occurs.
The StackTrace property returns the frames of the call stack that originate at the location where the exception was thrown. You can obtain information about additional frames in the call stack by creating a new instance of the System.Diagnostics.StackTrace class and using its StackTrace.ToString method.
The common language runtime (CLR) updates the stack trace whenever an exception is thrown in application code (by using the throw keyword). If the exception was rethrown in a method that is different than the method where it was originally thrown, the stack trace contains both the location in the method where the exception was originally thrown, and the location in the method where the exception was rethrown. If the exception is thrown, and later rethrown, in the same method, the stack trace only contains the location where the exception was rethrown and does not include the location where the exception was originally thrown.
The StackTrace property may not report as many method calls as expected because of code transformations, such as inlining, that occur during optimization.
Notes to Inheritors:
The StackTrace property is overridden in classes that require control over the stack trace content or format.
By default, the stack trace is captured immediately before an exception object is thrown. Use Environment.StackTrace to get stack trace information when no exception is being thrown.
The following code example throws an Exception and then catches it and displays a stack trace using the StackTrace property.
// Example for the Exception.HelpLink, Exception.Source, // Exception.StackTrace, and Exception.TargetSite properties. using System; namespace NDP_UE_CS { // Derive an exception; the constructor sets the HelpLink and // Source properties. class LogTableOverflowException : Exception { const string overflowMessage = "The log table has overflowed."; public LogTableOverflowException( string auxMessage, Exception inner ) : base( String.Format( "{0} - {1}", overflowMessage, auxMessage ), inner ) { this.HelpLink = "http://msdn.microsoft.com"; this.Source = "Exception_Class_Samples"; } } class LogTable { public LogTable( int numElements ) { logArea = new string[ numElements ]; elemInUse = 0; } protected string[ ] logArea; protected int elemInUse; // The AddRecord method throws a derived exception if // the array bounds exception is caught. public int AddRecord( string newRecord ) { try { logArea[ elemInUse ] = newRecord; return elemInUse++; } catch( Exception e ) { throw new LogTableOverflowException( String.Format( "Record \"{0}\" was not logged.", newRecord ), e ); } } } class OverflowDemo { // Create a log table and force an overflow. public static void Main() { LogTable log = new LogTable( 4 ); Console.WriteLine( "This example of \n Exception.Message, \n" + " Exception.HelpLink, \n Exception.Source, \n" + " Exception.StackTrace, and \n Exception." + "TargetSite \ngenerates the following output." ); try { for( int count = 1; ; count++ ) { log.AddRecord( String.Format( "Log record number {0}", count ) ); } } catch( Exception ex ) { Console.WriteLine( "\nMessage ---\n{0}", ex.Message ); Console.WriteLine( "\nHelpLink ---\n{0}", ex.HelpLink ); Console.WriteLine( "\nSource ---\n{0}", ex.Source ); Console.WriteLine( "\nStackTrace ---\n{0}", ex.StackTrace ); Console.WriteLine( "\nTargetSite ---\n{0}", ex.TargetSite ); } } } } /* This example of Exception.Message, Exception.HelpLink, Exception.Source, Exception.StackTrace, and Exception.TargetSite generates the following output. Message --- The log table has overflowed. - Record "Log record number 5" was not logged. HelpLink --- http://msdn.microsoft.com Source --- Exception_Class_Samples StackTrace --- at NDP_UE_CS.LogTable.AddRecord(String newRecord) at NDP_UE_CS.OverflowDemo.Main() TargetSite --- Int32 AddRecord(System.String) */

Anyone who has ever played a ballgame on the grass at Masters Field was invited to take part in a ceremony at halftime during the last home football game Saturday. The district's ongoing capital project will include renovating the field behind the high school on Ransom Road. The new field is scheduled for completion in time for the 2014 football season.
GIHS Athletic Director Jon Roth was joined by the school's first athletic director, 93-year-old H. David Myers, who Roth called "The Father of Viking Athletics," and Mike Masters, son of the late Gene Masters, the first GI football coach. The 248 wins by Gene Masters are the most ever by a public high school football coach in Section VI. Myers hired Masters in 1963 from Brocton to start the football and baseball programs.
Roth said that he had received at least a dozen calls asking what the new field would be called and where it would be located.
"It's going to be Gene Masters Field, and it's going to be right here where we're standing," Roth said. "The difference come September, it's going to be a turf field, and it's going to have lights, and we're going to be here next September with Friday night lights."
At one point during the halftime ceremony, the sun broke through the gray sky like a play the late Gene Masters signaled in from the sideline.
Roth noted several highlights of 50 years of Vikings football, which has seen 19 championships, including five straight from 1989 to 1993:
•1964 - the first varsity schedule, with freshmen and sophomore players
•1966 - Gene Masters' first championship team
•The first undefeated team 1971 (7-0-1)
•36 first team All-Western New York players
Campus Construction Management and Cannon Design hosted a hospitality tent with food provided by McMahon's Restaurant.

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. – The Missouri National Guard's only engineer brigade has a new commander.
Col. William Blaylock II recently took over for Brig. Gen. Randy Alewel, who has been the unit's commander since February of 2010, after a change of command ceremony at the U.S. Army Engineer Museum's regimental room at Fort Leonard Wood.
Blaylock, who lives in Eureka, called command of the brigade the dream job of a Missouri Guard engineer officer.
"I never expected I'd be able to get to this point," he said. "I'm humbled. I'm here because of the noncommissioned officers and junior officers that I've worked with who have done things to put me in a good light. It's all about them."
Alewel, who lives in Warrensburg, called the ceremony bittersweet.
"You never want to leave a successful command with a great group of Soldiers, officers and noncommissioned officers, but at the same time, I'm giving it to a great officer," Alewel said. "Col. Blaylock is going to be an outstanding commander and he will continue to raise the bar for the whole organization here at the engineer brigade."
The brigade, headquartered at Fort Leonard Wood, is the higher headquarters for all Missouri Guard engineer assets. The unit undertakes plans, integrates and directs the execution of engineer missions conducted by the 1140th Engineer Battalion, headquartered at Cape Girardeau, and the 203rd Engineer Battalion, headquartered at Joplin, with their respective subordinate units; and when federalized, mobilizes with three-to-five mission tailored engineer battalions and augments engineer units organic to corps and division.
Maj. Gen. Stephen L. Danner, adjutant general of the Missouri Guard, said Blaylock was an easy choice to take command of the brigade.
"I don't think there is any doubt among the senior command section that Col. Blaylock is an absolutely outstanding candidate to be the new commander," Danner said. "I know his personal dedication and the talent background that he brings to the job. There really wasn't anyone else in my mind to fill the shoes of Brig. Gen. Alewel other than Col. Blaylock."
Danner said in the past, Blaylock has been a crucial component in the Guard to assist the citizens of Missouri during disasters.
"I've worked with him these last four years as a task force commander," Danner said. "He's done an exemplary job on several different state emergency duties."
For the performance of Alewel as brigade commander, Danner had nothing but praise.
"Randy has been outstanding," Danner said. "He has been an exemplary commander and one I hope many young officers emulate."
Although Alewel has been a standout in his former position, Danner said a change in doctrine no longer allowed Alewel, as a brigadier general, to serve as brigade commander.
"As of October 1 of this year, all the National Guard engineer brigades that formerly had a brigadier general commander are now aligned with the active component engineer brigades that have colonel commanders," Danner said.
Alewel will now move to a position at Ike Skelton Training Site in Jefferson City as the Joint Force Land Component Commander, which had been unfilled.
"With his expertise and capabilities, it's a perfect fit," Danner said of Alewel's new job.
"That's just part of life – unexpected changes occur," Alewel said of his unexpected change in jobs. "But at the same time, with the position that I'm going into, I'll be able to share some of these things that we are doing in the engineer brigade with some of the other brigades."
As part of Alewel's new responsibilities, the engineer brigade will continue to report to him.
"We only have so many general officer positions to fill against ranks and it was important to me that we continue to have a senior brigadier general in this brigade because of the many state emergency duties the unit responds to," Danner said. "I like continuity and this move brought continuity throughout the brigade and the force. I think that's very important in this day and age."
Alewel said his goal for his new position is Soldier care.
"I want to continue to take care of Soldiers, make sure that they have challenging and realistic training, and that they have the resources to accomplish any mission that they are asked to do," he said.
For his service in command, Alewel was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal.
"You never expect to receive anything for just doing your job," Alewel said. "So it was a surprise and I was honored."
Among his other military awards, Alewel has a Legion of Merit Award, a second Meritorious Service Medal, and a Silver and Bronze Order of the DeFleury Medal
Reflecting on his time in command, Alewel, who has been in the Guard for more than 31 years, credited the Soldiers for the successes of the brigade.
Alewel is a 1980 graduate of Concordia High School and graduated from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor's of Science in animal science in December of 1983. He also earned a Masters Degree in strategic studies from the U.S. Army War College in 2006.
In his civilian career, Alewel is the third-generation owner of Alewel's Country Meats, a meat processing business that started in 1932 and is now located in Warrensburg. Alewel, who has run the operation since he graduated from Mizzou, said he appreciated his employee's contributions to his success, as well.
Alewel is supported in his military career by his wife, Teresa, and their three children, Austin and Kayla, who both live in Columbia, and Paige, who lives at home, as well as his extended Family, to include his employees.
Blaylock returns to the unit from Joint Force Headquarters at Ike Skelton Training Site in Jefferson City where he was the director of strategic plans and exercises. He has been the brigade's deputy commander, as well as the commander of the 1140th. He's also served as the aide-de camp for the commander of the brigade, as well as a company commander and platoon leader in the 1140th.
His goal as commander is to build on the accomplishments of the brigade and his predecessor.
"Brig. Gen. Alewel put the brigade in a great direction," Blaylock said. "I want to continue developing the relevancy of the brigade. We've got some very important missions that we are tied into. I want us to continue to be the best engineer fighting force in the country."
Throughout his career, Blaylock, who has been in the Guard for 27 years, said he has had some great mentors.
"I've worked with great officers and noncommissioned officers along the way," he said. "They've redirected me when I need to be and warned me when I was headed in the wrong direction. I've had some great examples to put into my tool kit that I can look at and say, 'This is what I need to do.'"
Among Blaylock's military awards are a Bronze star, Meritorious Service Medal and the Bronze Order of the DeFleury Medal.
A 1984 graduate of Parkway North High School in St. Louis, Blaylock earned a Bachelor's of Science in elementary education four years later from Southeast Missouri State University, in Cape Girardeau. In 1994 he added a Masters Degree in arts and teaching computer resources from Webster University.
During the week, Blaylock serves as the director of technology for the Rockwood School District in Eureka, where he lives with his wife and two sons.
Blaylock is supported in his military career by his wife, Jill, and their two sons, Ian and Austin. He added that his father, William Blaylock Sr., who is now deceased, was an incredible influence on him.

Obama Carries the Great State of Slate
Why we're telling you how we're voting.
Click here to see which presidential candidate your favorite Slatewriter is voting for.
Today, Slate'sstaff and contributors reveal how they're voting in next week's presidential election. This continues a tradition we began in 2000 and repeated in 2004. It will come as little surprise to many of our readers—and certainly as no surprise to Sarah "Media Elite" Palin—that Barack Obama won Slate in a landslide. In capturing 55 of our 57 votes, with 1 to McCain and 1 to Libertarian Bob Barr, Obama won an even bigger Slate majority than Al Gore in 2000 (29 of 37 votes) or John Kerry in 2004 (46 of 52 votes). Incidentally, this is a voluntary project: Our staff and contributors can reveal how they voted, but they are not required to.
My two predecessors as Slate's editor, Michael Kinsley and Jacob Weisberg, each wrote articles explaining why we reveal our votes. I don't have anything to add to their eloquent arguments, so please read Kinsley's 2000 piece here (mentally subbing "McCain" for "Bush" and "Obama" for "Gore"), and Weisberg's 2004 piece here ("McCain" for "Bush" and "Obama" for "Kerry").
Why did Obama win the swing state of Slate? Like Mike and Jacob before me, I don't think a candidate's Slate victory reflects a bias that has corrupted the magazine during the campaign. There are obvious reasons why Slate would lean heavily toward Obama: Most of our staff and contributors live in extremely Democratic cities on the East and West Coast. (It's worth noting that our lone McCain voter, Deputy Managing Editor Rachael Larimore, lives in Ohio.) Slate'svoters tend to skew young, and all polls show younger voters favoring the Democrat. Also, a significant number of former Slate contributors, among them Austan Goolsbee, Jason Furman, and Phil Carter, are now advising Obama. It's understandable that our affection for them and respect for their views may be accruing to Obama. (He's taking Jason and Austan's advice on the economy? Then he must be pretty smart.) And, finally, we are journalists, and, to quote Kinsley:
No doubt it is true that most journalists vote Democratic, just as most business executives (including most media owners) vote Republican, though neither tendency is as pronounced as their respective critics believe. This is a natural result of the sort of people who are attracted to various careers. It is not the product of any conspiracy. There is no Liberal Central Committee drafting young liberals into journalism against their will or blackballing young conservatives. And there is nothing that can be done to change this disparity, unless conservative press critics would like to see the media institute a political quota system, favoring conservatives over better-qualified liberals (affirmative action for opponents of affirmative action).
But—for the millionth time!—an opinion is not a bias! The fact that reporters tend to be liberal says nothing one way or another about their tendency to be biased. It does suggest that when political bias does creep in, it is more likely to tilt liberal than conservative. But there are so many other pressures and prejudices built into the news—including occasional overcompensation for fear of appearing biased—that raw political bias plays a fairly small role. …Of course it is not easy to persuade folks of this, and many will never believe it. No doubt it is easier just to keep your political opinions secret and imply that you don't have any. But that absurdity or dishonesty itself undermines your credibility. Or it ought to.

BMS managers get new jobs
Days after announcing a streamlined R&D strategy, Bristol-Myers Squibb said it was also implementing managerial changes, which it described in a statement as part of its pursuit of "creating a global, integrated commercial organization and expanding the scope of its finance organization."
The changes include elevating Giovanni Caforio from the company's president of US to the new title EVP/CFO. This puts Caforio in charge of global commercialization strategy.
The title seems very much like that of Charles Bancroft, who is EVP and CFO, but Bancroft will now oversee business development and strategy.
Now-former US oncology president Murdo Gordon is stepping into Caforio's former role as president of US operations and Beatrice Cazala is "in the process of transitioning to a new role within the company." FiercePharma notes Cazala's news is an "ouch" moment, since her current title is commercial operations EVP, and this recent shakeup appears to be a sidelining of sorts.

The European debt situation continues to deteriorate, and the U.S. is not far behind. All the distress that is now focused on government debt comes from excessive private indebtedness as developed-world countries seek to support the private sector. This has shifted the debt burden to the government sector, and now the government is the problem rather than the solution. This is the outcome of a debt-bloated economy. (For more discussion of this issue, see the video of my recent interview with economist Dr. Lacy Hunt.)
Cover-ups tend to unravel when there is a hole so large (and getting larger) relative to the resources available to fill it. This happens even faster when the cover-up involves so many moving parts and requires so many volunteers to take the hit, particularly when there are strong private incentives not to volunteer.
The banks that were to roll over Greek debt at ridiculously low yields have largely already dumped their bonds to get out of the charity business. The rating agencies have shown some backbone (or creditability survival instincts) by downgrading Portugal and Ireland to junk, expanding the necessary cover-up.
Depositors are fleeing Greek banks (and probably others, as short-term funding rates in Europe rise), creating a liquidity crisis in which banks are loath to lend to other banks for fear of a default. A liquidity crisis morphs into a solvency crisis if banks are forced to dump bad assets at the already depreciated market terms and dump otherwise good assets at deep discounts to fund the deposit withdraw. Each asset sale is noted by the bank accountants as a reduction of income and capital.
The important and relevant question is where the private wealth will flee. It appears the answer will be that it will not gravitate to the usual places — such as the U.S. dollar and the U.S. Treasury — even if a U.S. debt ceiling deal is done on time.
