After 106 years in business in Jasper County, McKlveen Lumber Co. is being sold.
Tom McKlveen, president of McKlveen Lumber Co., has announced the acquisition of McKlveen's Newton location by Spahn & Rose Lumber Co. The transfer of ownership will take place on Dec. 17.
"The sale to Spahn & Rose is a good fit for both McKlveen Lumber and Spahn & Rose," McKlveen said. "As independent lumber dealers, both companies are dedicated to providing a high level of service to their customers while offering superior products at competitive prices.
"We have a great deal of respect for the way Spahn & Rose operates their lumber yards and believe the strong history and heritage of McKlveen Lumber's presence in central Iowa will continue under new ownership."
McKlveen indicated that the operations of the Newton location would change very little when ownership and operations transfer to Spahn & Rose in December.
McKlveen also thanked the company's customers for their support over the 24 years since purchasing the Newton location from Watters Lumber Co.
McKlveen said he and his brother and co-owner Dick McKlveen will continue to work in the store on a full-time basis between now and Dec. 31, to assist in the transition to the new owners and to personally thank their longtime customers.
J.H. McKlveen & Co., the parent company of McKlveen Lumber, was founded in 1906 in Prairie City. Since that time, the company has been owned and operated by four generations of the McKlveen family.
Spahn & Rose Lumber Co. is headquartered in Dubuque, and has 26 locations in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The independent lumber company was founded in 1904. The locations nearest to Newton are Tama, Knoxville and Marshalltown.

Abstract: Research positioned in the intersection between management accounting and supply chain management is increasing. However, the relationship between management accounting and supply chain strategies has been neglected in extant research. This research adds to literature on management accounting and supply chain management through exploring how supply chain strategy and management accounting is related, and how supply chain relationship structure modifies this relation. Building on a contingency theoretical lens as well as literature within management accounting and supply chain management, a research model is developed. The research model highlights two basic forms of fit. First, fit between lean- and agile supply chain strategies, and supply chain management accounting practice. Second, supply chain relationship structure, modelled as the extent to which a firm organizationally integrates activities with customers and suppliers, is a moderating variable and. When misfits occur this may lead to negative performance effects and have implications for the competitiveness of the firm and the supply chain system as a whole. This study makes a contribution to the literature by conceptualizing the elements of management accounting in a context of the supply chain and by relating it to supply chain strategy and supply chain relationship structure. A set of generically different supply chain management accounting postures are proposed and the notion of design/use flexibility of a supply chain management accounting technique proposes.

Mønsted, Mette (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Collaborations are formed as inter-organisational relations, which are special forms of networks creating and spanning boundaries of organisations. This chapter is focusing on social networking mechanisms for organising, and managing networks. This is one of the features for understanding collaboration and management of collaborations. Networking is a new understanding of management in an economy in which uncertainty and turbulence are the norms rather than the exception. Network management in an entrepreneurial turbulent environment is seen as enacting power in a 'negotiated management' process involving partners much more than an established position in a hierarchy where power is exercised. The focus is on obtaining control and power, but also to keep all the actors active even when they are formally out of control of the manager. The question is how to create and maintain the role as project manager on joint projects with other firms. Networking is one way of mobilising resources, through which resources for establishing research and innovation are explored and exploited. In all research and innovation projects, the legitimacy of both technologies, firms and research teams are important. Legitimate partners, such as: recognised peers and research environments as well as international research funding may be exploited as a viable strategy for establishing a good reputation, and thus a strategy to create legitimacy of own innovation and research.

Value creation and ambiguity in client-consultant relationsSmith, Irene Skovgaard (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Et godt og effektivt samarbejde mellem kunde og konsulent fremhæves generelt som en afgørende betingelse for at få succes med brug af eksterne konsulenter. Dansk Industri har sammen med Dansk Management Råd (DMR) og Copenhagen Business School (CBS) etableret et udviklingsprojekt, der under overskriften 'Vækst i Vidensamfundet' har til formål at udvikle det afgørende samarbejde mellem kundevirksomheder og konsulentvirksomheder. Nærværende ErhvervsPh.d.-afhandling er en del af dette udviklingsprojekt og sætter fokus på, hvad der sker i kunde-konsulent samspillet i konteksten af konsulentopgaver, hvor det handler om at implementere forandring. På sådanne forandringsprojekter forventes konsulenterne at bidrage med viden, værktøjer og løsninger samtidig med, at de fungerer som forandringsagenter i kundeorganisationen og involverer og arbejder med ledere og medarbejdere på forskellige niveauer. Det gør kunde-konsulent samspillet til en kompleks størrelse, der ikke bare handler om den personlige relation og godt samarbejde mellem konsulent og opdragsgiver/projektsponsor. Når vi har at gøre med ydelser, hvor konsulenterne går i clinch med organisationen for at implementere forandring, må kunde-konsulent relationer ses i et bredere perspektiv end fokus på personlige relationer mellem enkeltindivider tillader. Kunden er en organisation; en kompleks social konstellation af mennesker med forskellige positioner og interesser. Det afgørende er, hvilken rolle konsulenterne får, når de bevæger sig ind i denne sociale sammenhæng, og hvilke muligheder og begrænsninger det indebærer for at være med til at skabe forandring som ekstern part i processen. Afhandlingen stiller skarpt på disse sociale aspekter af samspillet mellem konsulenter og interne aktører i konteksten af kundeorganisation. Forskningen, der ligger til grund for afhandlingen, er udført som antropologisk feltarbejde på to forandringsprojekter; den ene i en industrivirksomhed og det andet på et hospital. Dette indebar både observation af konkrete situationer, hvor konsulenter og interne aktører arbejdede sammen, og efterfølgende interviews med både konsulenter og de relevante ledere og medarbejdere om deres oplevelse af samspillet.

Interactions and Convergence in Product Development NetworksBerhausen, Nico Peter (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Many studies have focused on the topic of product innovation. As a key element of how industrial organisations work, of how competition is shaped and how economic growth is realised, innovation provides an interesting research field, which will never be fully explored. Industrial organisations explore these grounds through strategic processes in which objectives should guide product development processes. Ideas, alternatives or decisions form these processes in which heterogeneous actors need to be aligned and coordinated towards the final product innovation. Heterogeneity is a key aspect here; different, new technologies, conflicting objectives, different opinions and different management practices for example, are part of this process. Although these elements have been studied extensively in extant research, I identify several gaps in the existing literature, which I in turn strive to fill with this thesis. First, a perspective of the interactions in innovation processes is needed with a focus on control mechanisms and the mobilisation of strategic objectives. Secondly, focusing on control, the way calculative boundaries are created and explored and how these may be overcome needs more development and empirical insights. Thirdly, the interaction of control mechanisms and the coordination of product development networks through these interactions lack empirical insights and build an interesting research ground. I do not provide a holistic framework or a contingent perspective of how organisations should manage innovation. Rather I discuss the many ways in which product development networks become convergent through the interaction of control mechanisms, which may act as a vehicle or translator of strategic objectives...

How Can They Coexist?Gregersen, Mikkel Godt (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis consists of a cape and three papers. The overall research question is: How can intrinsic motivation and management control coexist in a creative environment and how can coordination be possible in such a context? The cape ties together the research done in the three papers. It is divided into six sections. The first section introduces the concepts of intrinsic motivation, creativity and management control. This is followed by a section on management control in a creative context. These two sections frame the thesis and introduce the setting in which the research has been done. The third section presents the research approach, which is the application of basic needs as social mechanisms. Social mechanisms are used to explain one event by a previous event by identifying the causal links between the two events. Basic needs are the needs for feelings of autonomy, competence and relatedness. In section four, social mechanisms are positioned as a middle-ranged paradigm between the Interpretive and the Functionalist paradigms. Section five discusses the findings of the three papers and finally section six provides the answers to the research question as a conclusion. The first part of the conclusion is that intrinsic motivation and management control can coexist under the conditions that all three basic needs, i.e. autonomy, competence and relatedness, are supported. This can happen when control takes point of departure in the individual employee. The second part of the conclusion is that coordination (via management control) is possible in a creative context if control interacts directly with the creative process.

policy and practice viewed from the perspective of managersLeth, Camilla; Hjalager, Anne-Mette; Holt Larsten, Henrik (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This report contains the major results from a study of management development in Danish organizations. The study is part of a European research project with participation of Denmark, the U.K, France, Norway, Rumania, Spain, and Germany. The project is part of the so-called Leonardo program the purpose of which is to further cross-country competence development and collaboration within the European educational sector. The first phase of the project is a quantitative interview study of one hundred organizations in each of the participating countries. The second phase consists in qualitative case studies in selected organizations in each of the countries. In Denmark one hundred and one organizations have participated in the study. Identical questionnaires and interviews are conducted in all of the mentioned countries and the huge amount of data is analyzed in each country and across countries. The findings will be published in books, journals and newspaper articles. Hopefully the findings of the large European project will thus affect the way in which educational institutions and organizations manage the "Europeanization" of management development. The present report solely describes significant findings from the questionnaire study conducted in Denmark. Two hundred and two managers have participated, that is two from each organization. We thank the contributing organizations without which it would not have been possible to generate this picture of management development in Danish organizations. The Department of Organization and Industrial Sociology at the Copenhagen Business School is the Danish partner in the project. The project has been conducted by Camilla Leth in collaboration with Ilse Kristensen, Mette Gundersen and Lea Green under the supervision of Henrik Holt Larsen. Anne-Mette Hjalager has contributed to the preparation of the report. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6722

A Typology and Propositions for Management Innovation ResearchHarder, Mie (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Management innovation is the implementation of a new management practice, process, technique or structure that significantly alters the way the work of management is performed. This paper presents a typology categorizing management innovation along two dimensions; radicalness and complexity. Then, the paper introduces the concept of management innovation capabilities which refers to the ability of a firm to purposefully create, extend and modify its managerial resource base to address rapidly changing environments. Drawing upon behavioral theory of the firm and the dynamic capabilities framework, the paper proposes a model of the foundations of management innovation. Propositions and implications for future research are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8245

How risk management frames the possible actions for managing risksChristiansen, Ulrik (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Using a systematic review of the last 55 years of research within risk management this paper explores how risk management as a management technology (methodologies, tools and frameworks to mitigate or manage risks) singles out risks as an object for management in order to make action possible. The paper synthesise by developing a framework of how different views on risk management enable and constrain the knowledge about risk and thus frame the possibilities to measure, analyse and calculate uncertainty and risk. Inspired by social studies of finance and accounting, the paper finally develops three propositions that illustrate how the framing of risk establishes a boundary for how managers might understand value creation and the possible future and how this impacts the possible responses to risk.

Gasparin, Marta (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This dissertation proposes a new perspective on management of design by regarding it as a translation process, using a framework based on Actor- Network Theory. Within the field of management of design, design has been defined as a problem-solving activity, a tool for either improving the decisionmaking process or for fostering radical innovation by making sense of things. Designers have generally been considered individuals with a different sensibility, able to make a difference by producing interesting and intriguing products which can deliver value to the customers and create value for the firm. Actor-Network Theory is a methodology for the socio-technical analysis that treats the actors as enacted and relational, and explores the network creation through an analysis based on a flat ontology, in which there is symmetry between human- and non-human actors. There is no a priori size, power or complexity of the actors, as these elements are built through the relations and understood by following them. The study is based on an ethnographic investigation of three design objects: the Serie7, the Egg (designed respectively in 1955 and 1958) and the Ice (designed in 2002), manufactured by Fritz Hansen. Based on the analysis, a new interpretation of the design, the design process, the role of the managers and designers, the value creation process, and the role of technologies of managing is presented. Design is defined as an outcome of the construction process of things made by mobilising and enrolling actors through the translations of goals. The design process is the process of enrolling, mobilising, and translating goals, creating the design in a heterogeneous network of allies. It is a chaotic practice, muddled and contingent, with the inevitable risk of unintended consequences. This process is guided by the managers, who act as spokespersons, while the designers are macro-actors, representing all the actors involved in the creation process, in the multitude making or agreeing on the final decisions concerning the design and its development during the life cycle of the object. The individual qualities of insight, intuition, vision, and creativity are reinterpreted and assembled in the language of the design. These qualities are no longer the properties of an individual, but collective virtues in relation to which governing and managing have a fundamental role. The managers are spokespersons, actors who translate the needs, the expectations, the demands and the desires from different actors. They work towards sharing the goals by encouraging the other actors to adhere to the programme of actions. The value is constituted and forged through the relationships, it is not something that is proper or embedded in the product, but is adopted and adapted by the allies in the network. The technologies of managing are not simple tools for fostering creativity, as described in the previous literature, they are actors mediating the process and conveying information that managers can use to make decisions. The technologies of managing are identified as black boxes and leaky black boxes. A black box is totally closed, a leaky black box is something the managers are working and acting on, stimulating the translations and actions that are shaping the network, including or cutting off the network actors and features, as well as mobilising actors.

Obling, Anne Roelsgaard (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis is the result of an ethnographic fieldwork at a major university hospital in Denmark that I undertook between June 2009 and January 2011. I was an 'embedded' observer in a cancer clinic and entirely dependent on the staff – administrative and clinical – for access to facilities, people and diseases. That said, I was never asked to modify my writings in any way or to show the content of my field notes or tape recordings. Neither does the hospital have any formal share in the overall thesis. The responsibility for the final outcome is on my shoulders alone. As an embedded observer I was to handle personally sensitive data, such as specific details in patient records, with confidentiality. There is no information in my writings which can be traced – directly or indirectly – back to individual patients or relatives at the hospital and hence disclose their identity. My observations lasted anywhere from 20 minutes (the length of a typical staff meeting) to five working days in a row. During a day of observation, I followed doctors from they arrived in the early mornings; when they attended the morning conferences, until they left the hospital in the late afternoon after hours of clinical work in the outpatient clinic. I also followed them in their offices and in the operation theatres. Many tableaux from the thesis you are reading now were recorded in my notebook and then reconstructed in the later writing. Wherever possible, I have used my free access to the hospital to check the accuracy of my writing, for example by procuring typical situations more than once or by going through precarious details with involved staff members. Statements that appear in quotation marks ('…') were recorded directly on my tape recorder or in my notebook while the person was speaking, or immediately hereafter. Through the process I have shared my ideas with the staff members involved to make sure that they understood the purpose of my work and also in order for them to have a chance to feel comfortable with my presence. Throughout the thesis, I have shortened quotes from documents and interviews in order to make the text more readable. In addition to my fieldwork at the hospital, I have worked with the sociologist Nanna Mik-Meyer. In her work, Mik-Meyer has focused on general practitioners and their preoccupation with patients who attend the consultancy with medically unexplained symptoms. Parts of the raw data material from some of her previous studies became the basis of a co-authored article, which is included in this thesis. Utterances from individuals described in this article are directly quoted from a larger quantity of interviews with general practitioners in primary care medicine.

Lessons from the Entertainment IndustriesLorenzen, Mark; Frederiksen, Lars (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper analyses management of product innovation in project-based industries, offering a view on management not only of firms, but also of markets. It first argues that projects are prominent in industries where the nature of consumer demand means that product innovation takes place as experimentation. Then, the paper argues that if skills needed for projects are very diverse and projects are complex, there are few internal managerial economies of projects, and the scope for management then transcends the boundaries of firms. In these cases, markets become organized in combinations of people, contracts, and other institutions, in order to facilitate the coordination of market-based projects. While contracts play a role, a continuous, active role of knowledgeable managers (leaders and boundary spanners) is also often necessary. Such managers --- and thus (core parts of) whole industries --- are embedded in project ecologies at particular places, which is why we see geographical clusters in many project-based industries. The paper is mainly conceptual, but develops its argument by drawing examples from the Entertainment industries throughout.

Management Policies and Industrial Sector Ecology in Japan's postware Machine-tools Industry to the 1980sTackney, Charles T. (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This is an exploration, using Japanese language primary sources, of management policies and relat-ed industrial sector ecology of the post-World War II machine tools industry. From postwar devas-tation to global leader in worldwide market share by the mid-1980s, remarkably little is know of the factors that contributed to this sucess. Paralleling Max Holland's 1989 Burgmaster case study method of the U.S. firm's and industry failure, this study examines the history of Okuma Corpora-tion, an Aichi Prefecture machine tools producer. The role of management leaders and government support for viable firms is shown to provide the necessary industrial ecology for machine tools pro-ducers to recover, innovate, deal with successive oil shocks, and achieve a leadership role in the machine tools sector. Comparative reflections on the parallel decline of the U.S. machine tools in-dustrial sector conclude the paper. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8614

A Knowledge-Based DiscussionSpender, JC (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Methodological individualism is the doctrine that economic or social phenomena are ultimately grounded in individual knowing and choice. Recently numerous collective concepts have been introduced into our thinking about the firm - absorptive capacity, communities of practice, dynamic capabilities, social capital, organizational routines, and so on. As far as we can tell these are neither theoretically nor empirically well grounded. In this talk I consider what might be meant by the statement that 'only individuals can know'. I contrast notions of knowing as having and holding data, or a frame of meaning, or a skilled practice. I conclude that all manner of social entities can know in all respects save that of creating the knwledge that is then known. Jel classification: D8, M10, M19 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7418

A knowledge governance perspectiveFoss, Kirsten; Foss, Nicolai J. (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: A critical knowledge governance problem concerns the consequences for the use of the authority if the knowledge that is essential in a work setting is partially unknown to the person who is to exercise authority. Is it possible to rationally direct work and activities and efficiently utilize knowledge under such conditions? Recently, many scholars have given negative answers to this question, arguing that authority relations are becoming strained by the increasingly distributed nature of knowledge in and between firms. We analyze this argument on the basis of definitions of "authority" and "distributed knowledge." This allows us to show that --- while intuitively appealing --- the argument that authority cannot be an efficient coordination mechanism in the presence of distributed knowledge is at best problematic. The argument is based on the flawed inference that because the holder of authority is ignorant about some of the knowledge held by employees, he cannot rationally direct them. However, it is correct that the quality of centralized direction (planning, authority) may be compromised by distributed knowledge, leading to choices of other governance mechanisms and structures.

The Role and Interplay of Management Control Systems and Company PerformanceWillert, Jeanette (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This dissertation addresses the topic Management Control Systems (MCS) as a Package. Many research studies investigate management and control systems individually, whereas fewer research studies take a holistic view and include a larger part of all the MCS managers use to guide and direct subordinates behaviour in the best interest of their companies. In the MCS literature, it is stressed that knowledge is particularly lacking about how managers design and use MCS as a package, and the effectiveness of using the MCS. This dissertation responds to this call by carrying out a large survey among executive managers in large companies, a survey that investigates the subject: Effective Management and Control Systems. The focus in the survey is to explore how executive management in large companies design and use their management control systems package. Further, this study is supplemented with archival data on the participating companies' performance. The dissertation presents three papers, each of which introduces knowledge within studying managers' use of MCS as a package. The first paper presents executive managers' use of management control systems as a package in large companies. With basis in a conceptual MCS framework the paper explores executive managers' focus and emphasis on using the different parts of an MCS package to guide and direct their subordinates to ensure high organisational performance and further success for their companies. The second paper is a literature review including a comparative analysis of MCS frameworks. The paper discusses the fundamental purpose of MCS frameworks to clarify the usability of MCS frameworks in research and in practice. The paper draws attention to research gaps and missing variables within the frameworks, and provides a guideline of issues that researchers and practitioners may benefit from when using the frameworks. The third paper investigates relationships between executive managers' use of some MCS and companies' financial performance. The MCS investigated are: strategy, evaluation of subordinates, rules and procedures and executive managers' focus on customer relations when guiding and directing their subordinates. The paper finds both some positive and some negative relations between the use of MCS and companies' development in financial performance. The findings in all three papers can be used by both researchers and practitioners who wish to expand and advance their existing knowledge about MCS' impact on company performance and success.

A Sociological Approach to Managerial TechnoloyThygesen, Niels Thyge; Tangkjær, Christian (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The relevance of technologies in management and organizational analysis is well accepted in theory, if not by managers themselves. But the way technologies allow us to observe has not yet been explored. This is because many accounts of technologies neglect, if not the constitutive nature of technologies, then at least their observational potential. In particular, this article argues, technologies work by setting the scene of observation for the manager. In order to handle that challenge, management must be a matter of `managination`, that is, second order observation. Keywords: management, observation, reproduction, steering, technology.

Taarup-Esbensen, Jacob (Frederiksberg, 2018)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This PhD reflects the effort to close a gap in the multinational enterprise (MNE) risk management literature on the identification and mitigation of risk arising from local communities. Small villages and towns that are situated geographically close to the MNEs' place of operation have increasingly been identified as a source of risk (BSR, 2003; ICMM, 2015). The mining industry is one of the most exposed to risks from local communities, where there historically have been many conflicts between mine owners on one side and the people living close to the mine on the other (Godoy, 1985; Hoskin, 1912; Lynch, 2002; Morris, et al., 2012). And with access to new communication technologies, it is possible for even the remotest communities to communicate effectively to a wide global audience, enabling non-governmental organisations, politicians, investors and other civil society actors access to up-to-date information about mining MNE operations. This improved outreach has meant that mines have been closed due to conflicts with local communities and therefor a need had arisen for MNEs to implement management practices that can effectively mitigate these types of risks.

Using the force of partner attractionHald, Kim Sundtoft (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Company performance is increasingly affected by a range of external factors embedded in a complex network of action controlled by other companies' in its environment. A well managed company, it's argued, is one that is aware of these external factors, and one who in response seeks to implement tactics maximizing own influence and control over them. Information gathering and model building are tactics normally used in this effort. However, in this article we discuss a third tactic, the tactic of attraction in dyadic relationships. Founded on the theory of social exchange and based on literature reviews on long-term-orientation in relationships and relationship value we develop a conceptual model highlighting the components of attraction in business to business relationships. First we demonstrate how the force of attraction can be understood as partners expected relationship value and how expected relationship value in turn is strengthened or weakened by partner- comfortability and dependability. Then we show how partners perceived attraction towards an industrial company can be managed using a combination of structural- and behavioral adjustments. Key words: Inter-organizational relationships; Relationship Management; Relationship-value; Attraction. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6293

Frandsen, Thomas (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The world is increasingly turbulent with shorter and shorter technological life cycles and more and more frequent changes in customer demand. This situation implies that flexibility and agility are crucial for producers of products and services. Much effort has been directed toward understanding innovation and the ways in which management can increase the value of innovation efforts. As a consequence, suggestions emphasizing different aspects of innovation and creativity have been put forward. However, the value of architectural knowledge for innovation is increasingly recognized as crucial with modular architectures proposed as one way of increasing the rate of innovation by introducing flexibility and agility without sacrificing efficiency. Modularity is a way to design a system with the intent of reducing its complexity by decomposing the system and reducing interdependencies between the subsystems of the system through standardized interfaces. Systems designed in this way allow for greater flexibility through recombination; however, they retain efficiency by means of standardization and scale economies from the reuse of components. For this reason modular architectures present an interesting solution to the dilemma of whether to invest in innovation or in efficiency. The topic has received much attention in the face of demands from customers for increasingly heterogeneous products and services. However, an important aspect to keep in mind is that, while decomposition is a powerful way of reducing complexity, most real systems remain only nearly decomposable (Simon, 1962) or loosely coupled rather than uncoupled (Orton & Weick, 1990)....

a refection of corporate strategyJørgensen, Heidi; Vintergaard, Christian (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Logically it seems that companies pursuing different business strategies would also manage their relationships with other firms accordingly. Nevertheless, due to the lack of research in the field of network strategies, this link still remains inadequately examined. Based on the well-known framework of organisational behaviour developed by Miles and Snow (1978), this paper argues that the patterns of network behaviour practiced by firms greatly depend on the business typology of the company. That is, a company's business typology will to a certain degree dictate the network identity of the company. In this paper evidence is provided, that the relation between a company's strategy, structure and processes in fact have a considerable influence on its pattern of network behaviour. Three case studies from the Danish biotech industry exemplify and illustrate how a company's strategy is directly correlated with how it manages its strategic network relations, which consequently affects its network identity (Eisenhardt 1999). It is argued in this paper that the level of relational embeddedness, incentives for establishing strategic relations and the relation between the number of non-redundant and redundant relations are the most dominant elements distinguishing the types of network behaviour in relation to the business typology. The paper thus strives to argue how different business typologies develop a network identity on the basis of their network behaviour. Due to the correlation between a company's strategy, structure and processes and its pattern of network behaviour, knowing how to manage this relation becomes essential, especially during the development of new strategies.

I explained that a red-black tree is really just a 2-3-4 tree in disguise. I then reviewed Chris Okasaki's simple, short and elegant treatment of red-black trees (Red-Black Tress in a Functional Setting) which I think is a great example of functional programming and rightly a "functional pearl". This is interesting stuff I think and not as widely known as it should be.
Further reading:
The correspondence between 2-3-4 trees and red-black trees is made sharper by considering Sedgwick's Left-Leaning Red-Black Trees. See here for a formalisation in Agda.

Gee golly, I wonder what would cause a tear of this magnitude in the roof of a poor and innocent Lexus? Click for the answer, with a bonus video!
Oh, it's because the owner, Frankie Rio, decided to use a Lexus GS350 for one of those subwoofer decibel competitions. You know, Frankie, there's a reason beater vans are popular for these kinds of competitions. Vans are a lot cheaper and generally, hold many times the speakers, and are made like brick shithouses. Hopefully this display of wanton destruction at least won the competition to pay for the repairs. Who are we kidding? This 159.5 dB monster is probably being held together right now with duct tape and some super glue.

Research for the Future
In this brochure we would like to introduce you to the Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung: Who we are, what we do and how our research benefits society, meaning us all. Senckenberg examines relations in the natural world and communicates its scientific findings to the public in various ways – at first glance this does not seem especially spectacular, since other institutions in Germany, Europe and all over the world are doing exactly the same thing.
What makes Senckenberg exceptional is its research network comprising nine locations in Germany, its extensive collections and the wide variety of specialist expertise: from deep sea organisms to the ecosystems of high-altitude mountains, from the age dating of the oldest rock to climate modelling. This wide spectrum allows for a better understanding of the "system earth-human" and with this a sustainable management of our valuable resources- and this is what we want and must make possible. This is why it is important to us to present the research and science conducted at our modern natural history museums in Frankfurt am Main, Görlitz and Dresden to the public. To inform and advise we use numerous mediums: print and internet, audio and video, in popular and subject-specific science. Not only the 600.000 visitors a year, but also and especially Senckenberg's broad civic involvement, prove this approach successful. We hope we can motivate you to immerse into the "Senckenberg – World of Biodiversity"- get hooked on the fascinating topics of the life and earth sciences and on Senckenberg!

Mark Pomerantz, a former federal prosecutor, says the government wants everybody on Wall Street to believe all their conversations are being taped.
Pomerantz tells MarketWatch that the perception of wiretaps being employed in a widespread way is great for deterrence. However, he said he didn't think they were being employed extensively by federal prosecutors.
His comments come after the conviction of hedge-fund manager Raj Rajaratnam for insider trading, a case brought via the use of wiretaps. Rajaratnam's lawyer seeks to have a panel of federal appeals court judges set aside his conviction on the basis that the government employed deceptive techniques to obtain approval for wiretapping his client's cell phone. Key evidence in the case against Rajaratnam comes from incriminating phone calls, according to reports.
Pomerantz, who spoke at a conference about insider trading at Columbia University in New York, said wiretaps are hard to obtain even in narcotics and organized crime cases. He added that prosecutors are growing weary of insider-trading complaints. Pomerantz is now a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.
"The other thing you would hear if you could walk through the halls of the U.S. Attorney's office is that they are a little bit tired of these cases," he said. "There is a formulaic aspect of bringing these and trying these and I'm not suggesting the government will walk away from this because it is more fun to do something else. But there is a respect in which people will be glad to see the current spate of insider-trading cases die down."

Thanks hope that you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi, Scott was wondering what kind of reflexes you have with your cervical injury? Do you think if it's left untreated that they would be hyper or hypo? Thanks, Ragu
Thank you!
Me and friends go to vegas once sometimes twice a year. Do you ever go cause maybe we can meet and go see fights?
It's pay per view and tonight the ultimate fighter comes on "free". spike tv.
I'm Still Laughing!
HAHA! My Bad! I'm laughing right now! I made a joke when it wasn't one...LOL!
"Free fights on pay per view" ( I almost chuckled )
Those Jerk Owners were suppose to have fights broadcasts at theaters but don't know what happened. I was excited cause my wheelchaired ass gets in free with a friend. ( no joke )
I luv great fights also! I heard that the GSP and diaz fight is off and now Penn is suppose to fight Diaz (better and greater fight) and GSP is fighting condit. That's what I heard.
Oh yeah! Lesnar vs overheem coming up too.
I remember you! The Henderson fan! Boooooo! I'm just bitter.
BTW. That fight was still stopped too early.
I just read a post from Simon on FB that Applz should be up and running in a few days!
Have you had any withdrawals yet? Hoping Applz will be up and running soon. Several Applz members have joined here just to keep in touch. Have you got all your hunting gear ready?

KLH Model Nine loudspeaker
The following report is longer than usual, simply because the closer a reproducer comes to approaching theoretical perfection, the more it benefits from attention to small details in its installation and use.
In theory, most of the benefits accruing to the electrostatic principle are in the high-frequency range, where smoothness, extended range and good transient response are difficult to achieve in a dynamic speaker. This has prompted most designers to limit their electrostatics to the middle and upper-frequency ranges, while relegating the low end to a conventional cone-type woofer. The KLH Nine is one of the few existing designs which strives to span the entire audio range with electrostatic elements.
The complete KLH Nine system consists of two large, flat panels, closely resembling decorator-type room-divider screens both in shape and in appearance. Each panel is framed with finely finished wood, and the front surface is covered with boucle fabric (footnote 1). The rear surface is covered with a finely perforated metal screen, and a similar metal screen lies behind each grille cloth, to protect the radiating elements.
Each panel contains a complete two-way, full-range electrostatic system. A small square panel at the middle of one edge serves as a tweeter above about 2kHz, while the entire lower range is handled by eight large strips of diaphragm material that almost completely cover the remaining frame area. The two panels are mirror images of one another; one has the tweeter located at the left, the other at the right.
Each panel has its own polarizing supply (6kV), and hermetically sealed into a heavy metal case that attaches to the rear bottom of the panel and serves as a base to support the panel upright on the floor. Each power supply draws 5W at 115V AC, and 15' AC cords are supplied. The supplies are fully fused.
KLH suggests a choice of two basic setup arrangements: with the speakers side by side in a shallow V configuration, or separated by some distance, for wider stereo spread. Because of their two-sided radiation, however, they should not be located closer than about 4' from any parallel wall surface, as this will inhibit low-end radiation and may cause midrange standing-wave problems.
For the initial tests on our KLH Nine, we placed the panels together, using the special metal straps that are provided to couple the frames, and located the system near one end of a 20' by 13' by 9' room, in an area that has proven to be satisfactory with other speakers. An oscillator sweep failed to reveal any audible peaks or dips or harmonics, but we did find one spot near the low end where there were loud metallic rattles from the edge of one of the perforated rear screens. For some reason, slight twisting of the panel frame eliminated the rattles, and they have never since recurred.
High-frequency distribution was judged to be quite poor. Each small, flat tweeter panel radiates an increasingly narrow beam with a rising response at frequencies above about 2kHz. At 5kHz, the beam was judged to be about 30° wide, while at 10kHz it was barely more than about 10°. The speakers can be aimed so that neither beam reaches a listening area, and this will offset most of the highend rise, but unless some care is taken to do this, stereo imaging will be quite poor and the sound will be excessively toppish.
The system's overall response, off the tweeter axes, sounded almost perfectly smooth from well beyond audibility (14kHz in our case, and verified to beyond 20kHz with a condenser microphone) to around 40Hz. There was a slight high-end rise above about 3kHz, but for some reason, this did not add any spit or sizzle to the sound; it just seemed to impart an open, airy quality to it. There was no slow rolloff or humped response at the low end; it hit 40Hz and then dropped off very rapidly. (We should point out that, of the other systems that extend significantly below 40Hz, practically all of them have a peak at 40 or above, which acts to exaggerate lows and to mask the audibility of the extreme lows.)
With some experimentation, we were able to place the KLH Nine where its low-end radiation throughout the room extended down to a useful 35Hz, but were unable to elicit much of anything from it below that. There was no low-end fluttering; when it dropped out, it just went silent.
Note that the foregoing observations about the KLH 9's low-end performance apply when the two panels are placed side by side. Unfortunately, this arrangement tends to kill most of the stereo effect except when listening from a distance of 8' or less, and when the panels are separated, to improve the stereo spread, the system's entire low end was noticeably impaired. Instead of linear response to 40Hz and a sharp drop-off below that, the whole bass range below about 70Hz exhibited a slow rolloff. There was still usable output at 40Hz, but it was weak, and there was virtually nothing below it.

When a Harvard social scientist equated the measures taken by schools to accommodate food allergies with mass hysteria – the media ate it up.
Perhaps it was the "emperor has no clothes" syndrome, gotcha journalism or simple contrarianism, but Dr. Nicholas Christakis's article in the British Medical Journal got columnists and reporters buzzing in a way that no press release on a food allergy breakthrough could do. Whoa, the chorus of discontent seemed to say: "It's all a lot of needless fuss."
For those of us who live daily with food allergies, and who know otherwise, the hype about allergy "hysteria" and the clever headlines: "This Allergies Hysteria is Just Nuts," "Nut Allergies – A Yuppie Invention" and "Everyone's Gone Nuts" have been disturbing to witness.
In her article "Backlash Boards the Bus," in the Spring 2009 issue, Allergic Living Senior Editor Claire Gagné investigates the media fallout from the Christakis article and the growing "fashion" of dismissing genuine food allergy concerns as the misguided over-reactions of nervous parents and educators. As well, she delves into an aspect of food allergy that I've long found perturbing: why this disease is the subject of so much disbelief.
As someone who has experienced anaphylaxis, I sometimes find it odd to have a condition that gives rise to so much doubt. I have a niece who's type 1 diabetic. As she astutely points out: "Nobody has ever said to me, 'I think you're faking it with that insulin pump.'"
But as Gagné says in her article, when you're dealing with food – the very substance that keeps us alive and is tied not just to human health but to all our rituals, celebrations and socializing, you're into different territory. One that people find a personal stake in – and that certainly seems the case when it comes to what's in a child's lunch bag.
Christakis contended that the "extreme responses" of schools and school communities to allergy risks show the signs of "mass psychogenic illness" – that's mass hysteria. Yet in four years of covering issues related to food allergies, I have watched as parent advocates and politicians pressed ahead painstakingly to achieve school anaphylaxis laws in places such as Ontario, Manitoba, New York and New Jersey. Extreme responses, hysteria? Hardly.
The school anaphylaxis laws aim to reduce potential exposures to a few major food allergy triggers and mandate regular training for staff on emergency procedures and auto-injector use. They have come into being due to the rapid rise in the incidence of food allergies. It might seem exciting to suggest otherwise, but these laws have been framed after numerous democratic meetings, consultations with allergists and educators, and much consideration about what's fair to ask of others. They didn't just pop out of a few overheated imaginations.
I'll grant the professor this – you will find some parents of allergic kids who are too anxiety-ridden (and this magazine has written about the risks of transferring such anxiety to children). But I contend that they are the minority, and that it's really easy to find food allergic kids who are proud participants in their classes and on school teams. As for an epidemic of anxiety within the schools – where is the evidence of that?
What I see, especially in comments posted on the Internet, is the general public becoming confused about what to believe about food allergies. And who can blame them, given the recent commentaries. My hope is that Claire Gagné's article will provide those of you receiving questions at your children's schools with the full picture to show to others. That should help them to separate facts and hyperbole.
With luck, this tempest in a lunch bag won't set back any of the good work that's been done to help protect allergic students in their schools. It's time to accept that the rise of food allergies is the new reality, and move forward with making schools safe places for all students.

HBO Sports celebrates the holiday weekend with an action-packed tripleheader, including the return of light heavyweight powerhouse Sergey Kovalev, when WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING: SERGEY KOVALEV VS. VYACHESLAV SHABRANSKYY AND SULLIVAN BARRERA VS. FELIX VALERA AND YURIORKIS GAMBOA VS. JASON SOSA is seen SATURDAY, NOV. 25 at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT) from The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The HBO Sports team will call all the action, which will be available in HDTV, closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired and presented in Spanish on HBO Latino.
The main event features the return of the feared Sergey Kovalev (30-2-1, 26 KOs) as he battles heavy-handed Vyacheslav Shabranskyy (19-1, 16 KOs) for a vacant light heavyweight title in a scheduled 12-round bout. Following a light heavyweight title reign that spanned more than three years and featured eight successful defenses, polished Russian knockout artist Kovalev, 34, is eager to reclaim the belts he lost in 2016 to future Hall of Famer Andre Ward.
Standing in his way is Ukraine's Shabranskyy, 30, who turned pro in 2012 after a long amateur career in his home country and has been knocking out top contenders on the way to his biggest fight to date. Both men have been active lately, this being Kovalev's tenth fight since Jan. 2014 and Shabranksyy's tenth fight since Jan. 2015. The bout marks Kovalev's 11th appearance on HBO, while Shabranskyy is making his debut on the main channel after fighting on HBO Latino in 2015.

The Mitre United scheme is a national initiative to support grassroots football and encourage every football club to try Mitre's quality teamwear range. The key feature is a free kit offer, available through our trusted retail partner Kitking Ltd.
The scheme provides registered clubs with £200 worth of free kit, selected footballs or equipment for every £2000 RRP they spend on Mitre or Prostar teamwear and trainingwear. The new offer reflects Mitre's commitment to football at a grassroots level and we're confident that local clubs and leagues can benefit from the kit solution at a competitive price.
Mitre United will also give away extra prizes such as match tickets, VIP experiences and kit throughout the period of the campaign which runs from 1st March 2017 to the 28th February 2019.
It's simple to join the Mitre United scheme and get your free welcome pack.
Here's how it works :
1. Sign Up. Simply Register Here
2. You'll receive a free gift, a welcome pack, and regular updates from Mitre.
3. Start Shopping. Spend £2000 RRP at Kitking.co.uk on Mitre Prostar teamwear and choose from selected free product up to £200 RRP
4. Collect your free kit, wear it and play!
Once you've registered your club as part of the Mitre United scheme you'll receive an email from Mitre confirming your registration - and then you'll receive your free Mitre Welcome Pack including a free gift. The Welcome Pack will include details about the scheme, the new Mitre catalogue, your membership card, and free bibs for your club.
You can then start spending with us here at Kitking. The Welcome Pack will include a Mitre United card which has a unique reference for your club. Every time you spend, Kitking will use this code on your behalf. Make sure all the teams at your club use the same reference when placing their orders and let the Kitking sales team know, either via phone, email or the notes function when placing an order online.
Once you've spent £2000 RRP on Mitre or Prostar teamwear and trainingwear you'll be allocated with a free £200 to spend on Mitre apparel, Calcio or Ultimatch footballs, or our Speed and Agility Training Set - making sure you can kit your club out in our one stop shop. All you need to do is let Kitking know you'd like to order the free goods, we'll send it out to our warehouse and let you know it's on it's way.
Please be aware - If you were part of our previous Kit Back scheme, this ended on the 28th February 2016, and you will need to re-register your club and we'll be able to merge your spend from last year onto the new scheme - and you'll still get your free welcome pack. Any questions please contact Kitking.
How does the RRP spend work?
We work the scheme on the RRP value of the products which you're purchasing and therefore you might not even have to spend £2000 to claim your free £200. As all items purchased at Kitking are 25% off of RRP, you need only spend £1500.00 to qualify for the free £200.
Thanks for being part of our team - we look forward to welcoming you to Mitre United.

The win was the second in a row for the Bisons and gave them a 2-1 edge in the series at John Sessions Stadium. The Bisons were down 6-0 through five innings.
"It is hard to win on the road," Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand said. "When you get two-out-of-three on the road that is a confidence boost."
In the sixth they put three runs on the board. Richie Goodenow and Josh Chism singled. Bennett Smith knocked them in with a three-run homer over the left center field wall.
"Smith had a big home run," Forehand said. "He had hit into a double play with two outs to end the fourth inning. He came back and got his pitch the next time.
"Everybody felt like we were swinging the bats better. When Bennett hit his home run that really gave us life."
The Bisons added four runs in the seventh on five hits including an RBI-double to left center by Tennyson Dodd, a sacrifice fly by Chism, an RBI-single by Smith and an RBI-single by Kyle Henry.
In the eighth the Bisons scored four more runs as Chism hit a grand slam to left center, the first of his career as a Bison. The Bisons gave up two more runs in the ninth, but held off the late rally by Jacksonville.
"Chism fouled a couple of pitches off," Forehand said. "The pitcher he was facing was throwing mostly fastballs. Chism got one where he could handle it. That was a big blow. It took the air out of Jacksonville."
M.L. Williams, Smith and Henry each had three hits as the Bisons finished with 19 off of eight Jacksonville pitchers. Williams had two doubles.
Chism led the Bisons with a game-high five RBI.
Right-hander Dannie Strable started for the Bisons. He gave up five runs and five hits and walked two in 2.2 innings. Right-hander Chad Fromm came in and faced one batter, giving up a hit. Left-hander Alex Ross threw 1.1 innings and allowed two hits and one run while striking out one.
Right-hander Mike Grace, 2-0, pitched 4.2 innings. He scattered five hits and allowed two runs, both unearned. He did not walk a batter and struck out three. He was credited with the win.
"Grace should have closed it out, but we made a couple of errors in the last inning," Forehand said. "Mike had them off balance with his breaking ball and his change-up.
"He was excited. He actually threw his fastball a little harder than he normally does. He won the game for us by keeping it where it was until we could score. He pitched four great innings. That is how you win games on Sundays."
Starter Richie Goodenow, a left-hander, briefly returned to a relief role in the ninth. He pitched one-third of an inning to earn his first save of the season.
"Goodenow didn't throw very many pitches on Friday," Forehand said. "We thought we would bring him in to close it out. He didn't have his best stuff, but we wanted them to face a left-handed guy."
Jacksonville finished the game with 14 hits.
The Bisons are 9-15 overall, 2-4 in the A-Sun. Jacksonville slipped to 14-10, 5-4 in the conference.
The Bisons are back in action Tuesday at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium when Middle Tennessee State visits for a 3 p.m. game.

I've included a couple tracks from each album, as well as a few tracks he's made available for free in this sampler:
Carton Sonore - 9 songs
Thank you Mister!
Google translates it as "sound card" but litterally it would be something like "noisy cardboard" or figuratively "musical hit" (didn't thought of this sense when choose it but sounds quite funny added to the original sense).
You are very welcome, monsieur. I was thinking the name was a play on the computer term 'sound card.'
Who is the saw player on the album? They might be interested in knowing about the NYC Musical Saw Festival - maybe they'd want to perform there. This is Time Magazine's report of the festival http://youtu.be/eON-p4afeTkF
I believe Pierre (Mr. Carton Sonore) plays all the instruments.
Yes, and i already heard of the NYC Musical Saw Festival, but it's a bit far for me. I need to get rich first!

Hello All,
My desktop won't boot up.
I had Vista installed, but it kept having driver issues, so I decided to go back to XP Pro 64-bit. I put the XP disk in, deleted Vista, installed XP. It was doing fine until it got to the Restart part of the installation. It said it would continue with setup after installation. Well, during the restart, it wouldn't get past the mobo splash screen.
When you first start the machine, the mobo splash screen should appear, followed by IDE drive recognition, etc.
Well, it gets to the mobo splash screen, then freezes. I'm not sure what to do now. I don't have another mobo that supports SATA HDs, so I can't check the drive, but it should be ok.
Could the mobo have crashed during reinstallation? I can't even boot from a CD, the CD drive was the first on the list on the boot menu in the BIOS.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

BioElectronics pulsed shortwave therapy device gets South Korean patent allowance
Singapore: BioElectronics received patent allowance from the South Korean Intellectual Property office. The patent was allowed for a self contained medical device that is affixed to the body with a flexible antenna.
The device provides the patient with pulsed shortwave therapy and enables them to move more freely. The patent is among the nine other approved patents and another eight pending for pulsed shortwave therapy.
A visual monitor confirms that the antenna transmits energy at less than one milli watt to provide extended duration home therapy. The low power extended duration therapy is five times better than over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, is 100 percent safer and costs less than $0.25 for overnight pain relief.
Mr John Martinez, director, engineering, BioElectronics, said that, "We appreciate the importance of protecting our intellectual property throughout the world. This patent and our portfolio of patents provide confirmation of our sound science and are valuable assets in our accumulated body of knowledge."

Lady Gaga announced Tuesday that she's postponing shows Wednesday and Thursday at the United Center, as well as subsequent concerts in Detroit and Hamilton, Ontario, because of an injury.
"I am completely devastated and heartsick," the singer said on her Twitter account and website. "I've been hiding this injury and pain from my staff for a month, praying it would heal, but after last night's performance I could not walk. To the fans in Chicago, Detroit and Hamilton, I hope you can forgive me as it is nearly impossible for me to forgive myself right now."
The injury was described as synovitis, or severe inflammation of the joints, which Gaga said has caused her "chronic pain."
"It will hopefully heal as soon as possible, I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and Im sorry," she
The shows will be rescheduled and fans are advised to retain their tickets, according to the singer's Web site. Refunds will be available at point of purchase.

Message from Park Manager, Mark Spurrier
Volunteers are a critical aspect of the daily operation of both Cunningham Falls and Gambrill State Parks. Whether you desire to serve as a camp host, member of a trail maintenance crew, as a volunteer ranger, to help out at a special event, or as a supportive member and advocate through our Friends of Cunningham Falls and Gambrill State Parks, there's a role tailored to your time and talents. You might even have a skill that we didn't know we needed until you took the initiative to share it with us! I invite you to contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Eric Creter, via the park office or through e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com to request a volunteer application and talk about opportunities to serve your natural resources, your neighbors and yourselves. Your contribution is priceless.
Like working closely with animals?
Fascinated by reptiles and birds of prey? Then volunteering to assist with our Scales and Tales program might be just the opportunity you were looking for! You'll assist in the care -- mostly feeding and cleaning -- of our non-releasable raptors and reptiles, and may earn the privilege of helping with health checks and programs.
Requirements include love of working with animals and comfort in working with them, calm and patient personality, willingness to get dirty and messy as part of the job, and understanding of the importance of keeping our animals healthy, clean and comfortable. Must be at least 16 years old and able to life a minimum of 20 lbs. regularly and 50 lbs. occasionally or with help. Volunteers must be willing to work outside in all weather. Wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty (closed shoes or boots only); sanitary gloves and other needed equipment will be provided. This is an ongoing opportunity. Volunteers must be willing to commit to regular days and times.
Did you always want to grow up to be a Park Ranger?
Maybe becoming a Volunteer Ranger would suit you! Fullfill your dreams and become the happy Ranger you always wanted to be! We are looking for friendly, motivated individuals who are interested in assisting staff Park Rangers with customer service, nature programs, supporting lost person searches, visitor survey projects and more! This is an ongoing opportunity with a prerequisite of 40 volunteer hours prior to consideration and interview.
Fascinated by the past, and want to share it with others?
We have several opportunities to volunteer in Historic Interpretation at Cunningham Falls and Gambrill State Parks. At Cunningham Falls, you can choose to interpret the story of our historic iron furnace, Catoctin Furnace (c.1775-1903), for the guests of the park.
At Gambrill, you can volunteer to share the history and accomplishments of the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC -- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "Tree Army" -- with park visitors.
Comfort with public speaking and working with groups of people is essential. Please have a positive, cheerful attitude, good speaking voice, and passion for sharing the past with others. Experience with historical interpretation or teaching a bonus, but not required. Some knowledge of the relevant periods of history is helpful, but we will provide you with all the information you need to know. Costumed interpretation a possibility. This is an ongoing opportunity and days and times will vary.
Want to look back at the end of the day with a feeling of accomplishment? Volunteer to join one of our Trail Maintenance and Repair crews, working with the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. Clear Trails after storms (or the winter off-season), build water bars, repair trails damaged by storms or usage, and otherwise help to keep our network of trails in tip-top shape.
A strong back, and the ability to work outside in all weather on potentially rugged terrain, is a must. Familiarity with hand and/or power tools, and/or some experience with trail work, is a bonus but not required. Wear weather-appropriate clothing that can get dirty/muddy, and sturdy work or hiking boots; bring water bottle, work gloves, lunch, as well as sunscreen, bug repellent and rain protection as needed. This is an occasional opportunity and days and times will vary.
Is your company or civic group looking for an opportunity to give a day of service in a beautiful outdoor setting? Volunteering together is a great team building exercise and everyone will feel a sense of accomplishment. Tree plantings, amphitheatre renovations and trail projects are a few examples of what groups have done for us in the past. We always have projects waiting for the right group. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator to see what your group can do to help.
Want to help out at the park, but have limited volunteer time?
Volunteering at one of our Special Events -- the Maple Syrup Festival in the spring or Spirits of the Furnace in the fall -- could be just what you're looking for. We have lots of opportunities, from sharing tales of nature and history to helping with kids' crafts, from flipping pancakes or cleaning tables in the concession area to providing information about the parks.
Should be flexible, patient and cheerful, service-oriented, and committed to helping guests have the best possible experience at the event. Wear clothing appropriate to the weather, and comfortable/sturdy shoes or boots. Be aware that you may be assigned an indoor or outdoor location, and that you may be standing throughout your shift. Check with event organizer or Volunteer Coordinator about whether food or water will be available at the event. This is an occasional opportunity and dates and times will be announced well prior to the event.
Want to support our parks on an ongoing basis?
Then please consider joining the Friends of Cunningham Falls and Gambrill State Parks, Inc., a support group for Cunningham Falls State Park. Our members consist of local residents, representatives of the surrounding business community, campers and people like you who care about the park and want to be a part of making a difference for its future. The park needs this outside base of volunteers to maintain the high level of service the community has come to expect.
As the Friends, we strive to generate financial support necessary for supplementing the park's budget. All proceeds go directly back into the park. You can see this in improvements such as the Manor Area's Butterfly Garden, the renovated Nature Center at High Rock Scenic Area, tree plantings, new safety equipment, updated vehicles and heavy equipment. We also provide continuing support for events such as the "Maple Syrup Festival" and the "Spirits of the Furnace."
