Fame can touch just about anything, including food. To see a leftover crumb from Pete Doherty, head to the Old Boatstore.
It doesn't exactly have the "ooh" factor of a Lucille Ball caricature hanging on Sardi's wall. It does, however, inch toward the "eww" factor of, say, a faded 34C underwire tacked up on the ceiling of a dive bar. What is it? Just a wee crumb of a toastie eaten by the Libertines co-frontman Pete Doherty.
That's right. There's a museum where you can view the dried-out crust of a British pop star's cheese, tomato and pesto panini that he ate at a cafe in a Cornish seaside village. Owners Michael and Francesca Bennett wanted to commemorate the visit of celebrities to their seafront cafe, the Old Boatstore. When photographer David Bailey visited, the couple told the BBC, they were so excited they decided to keep a bit of the sandwich he'd consumed. The Museum of Celebrity Leftovers grew from there.
Now, when you visit Kingsand in the U.K., you can view about 20 "artifacts" sealed under tiny glass domes and kept on a bright blue shelf hanging on the cafe wall -- the museum's entire collection. Ogle actress Mia Wasikowska's wedge of zucchini. Examine the end of comedian Hugh Dennis' ice cream cone. Ruminate over retired BBC weatherman Craig Rich's pasty crust.
No preservatives have been added to the remains, and Michael Bennett assured the BBC that none of the exhibits seem to be getting moldy, just dried and shriveled.
The Bennetts have owned the cafe for nine years and serve mainly vegetarian fare with locally sourced seafood when available. So don't expect to see a bite of Prince Harry's burger anytime soon. However, Charles and Camilla have paid a visit. The Museum of Celebrity Leftovers has a tiny silver crown adorning the glass dome protecting Charles' relic: a teensy crust of bread pudding.
It's unlikely that the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall came just to see the odd exhibit, as the display of food waste is more kitschy than captivating. It may, however, have some competition for the world's most underwhelming excuse for a museum. Consider the Asphalt Museum with its chunks of tar at Sacramento State College in California. Or the Barbed Wire Museum in LaCrosse, Kan. And you might just get "sucked in" -- their pun -- at the Vacuum Museum along Route 66 in Missouri. (For more, see our list of the world's weirdest museums.)
No reason to cross the Hermitage or Smithsonian off your must-see list just yet. En route between the two, you might want to stop in the Old Boatstore for a bite to eat. Who knows who may be seated next to you.

Man shot during business robbery in southwest San Antonio
Suspect fled with cash after shooting, robbery at Alamo Auto & Title on Buffalo Street
A man was hospitalized after he was shot in the chest during a robbery on the Southwest Side.
The suspect walked into Alamo Auto & Title in the 2100 block of Buffalo and pointed a gun at a clerk, then fired a warning shot in the wall and demanded money, San Antonio police said.
An SAPD police report stated the victim, identified as James Gonzalez, 50, was there to pick up the clerk when he heard the shot and went to check on her. He was then shot by the suspect in the chest, San Antonio police said.
Police said the suspect jumped the counter and took the cash drawer, then fled on foot.
Gonzalez was taken to University Hospital in critical condition. Police could not find the cash drawer, but said the suspect dropped some money on Adolph Street.
According to SAPD, the suspect is described as being about 35 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build. Police said he was wearing black clothing and had a ski mask covering his face.
The suspect's vehicle is believed to be a late-'90s model green Chevy pickup truck with a silver tool box and business logo on both driver and passenger door.

Golf school programs that go deeper than honing participants' golf skills.
Why not break from the traditional golf outing and choose clinics that focus on skills that participants can use in their everyday lives? Here are some fresh options that are defining the next generation of golf school:
The Inner Game of Golf — An Arizona researcher has studied the brain-wave activity of golfers when they putt. Have attendees' putting analyzed (and adding a little betting) to learn how stress affects the way they think and perform, both on the putting green and in the office.
Business Golf — Increasingly popular are clinics that teach a sales team the basics of golfing with clients, down to the "who does what, when, where, and why" of golf etiquette. Also included are some easy self-diagnostic tips and the do's and don'ts of on-course small talk.
A Winning On-Course Strategy — Golf, like life, works best when you "plan your work and work your plan." Participants learn to develop a strategy for business golf using performance dynamics and visualization.
Your Own Best Coach — A golf instruction session and course time delivers lessons that apply to every aspect of our lives.
Mona Gambetta, vice president of marketing for the Scottsdale Golf Group, Scottdale, Ariz., represents the John Jacobs' Golf Schools and the company's newest product, "EagleVision … Performance Solutions for Golf and Business," to companies across the country. Reach her at (480) 991-8587 or email@example.com.

I feel everyone's Pain, the "meet & greet my wife & I attended wasn't anything to write home about, and I've been waiting over 3 months for our merchandise "signed lithograph's" through a little on-line research, I found that groundcontrol.com is somehow in bed with Live Nation which didn't surprise me after I thought about it…. So, through a little more on line research, I tracked down, and sent an e-mail in good faith to a few folks at the top of the food chain at Live Nation, and the agency that Manages ZZ-Top. I was very polite, but firm as to why the fans were mis-led, and why it takes over 3 months to get this merchandise sent out….. NO RESPONSE what so ever…… I would suggest if you have problems, and you can't get an intelligent response from groundcontrol.com flood these people with e-mails.Their names are; Nathan Hubbard & Irving Azoff the management company is Sanctuary Management in Los Angeles, they have a website, flood these people too the e-mail addresses are; 'firstname.lastname@example.com'; email@example.com. I would wager the band has no idea how poorly this company or these people represents them, and how their name as well as other acts they represent are dragged through the mud for their own financial gain.
Good Luck!!
The same happened to my husband and I. Our daughtor bought a dimond pass for her Dad for "fathers day" and a gold pass for me. ZZ top has been her Dads favorite band for 40 years. It cost her $375 to send us the consert and another $100 for a hotel room. We drove 4 hrs to get to Spokane from the cost. Don't get me wrong, the music is great still, but I think the band has lost sight of who has made them what they are today. I would hope that they would take note of the coments of they'er fan base, however, when I wrote to the band throught the e-mail given, my letter was sent back. We waited a month for the "meet and greet" pictures to be posted, and have NEVER gotten the lithagraph that was suposed to come in the mail to us. I am pretty sure that you have just lost a long time and faithful fan. Please take note of the displeasure , because we are the ones that helped you buy the new house and all the nice toys you have.
Bought the diamond package for ZZ Topp's show at the Fox Theater in Bakersfield, Ca. VERY disappointed...not allowed to: shake hands or talk to the band and ABSOLUTELY no asking the band to autograph ANYTHING!! It was NOT a meet and greet, but a photo op only!!! So, if anyone else buys the diamond package do not expect anything other than a very quick photo with the band and a quick out the door ya go! BUYER BEWARE is right!!! They didn't even take our names down when they took our picture, so I have no idea how they're going to know where to mail our picture to!!!
We went to the Bend, Oregon concert and felt the same way. My boyfriend, Rory, has been a huge fan forever and I was surprising him with an early Christmas present with this Meet & Greet. He didn't even know until five minutes before the Meet & Greet that he was going to get to go to it. We enjoyed the show tremendously, and were very excited for the Meet & Greet until we got into the room and were given the "Don't touch them or talk to them" speech. This should have been advertised at the point of sale of the tickets. I am sure that it would have changed alot of people's minds about buying the "Diamond" package.
There should not be a Meet & Greet if you are going to treat your supporters like that. We will be back for other shows (this was his seventh ZZ Top concert), but we will not be doing another Meet & Greet unless things change.
I also am curious if the band even knows that we are being treated like this or are being given this spiel.
Another problem that I had was that when fans each purchased their ticket, they should have been entitled to the same amount of poses/pictures. We had two in our group so we should have been entitled to two pics. And...I used to work for a photographer who did Meet & Greets....hello! It is the digital world...you take more than one pic no matter if you (the photographer) think that it looks great or not. I noticed that in many of the shots from our group, people had strange looks and in a few Frank had his mouth open in an awkward way. Do you really think that Frank would be happy knowing that his pics didn't look good?
I will put this Meet & Greet behind me and go back to enjoying their music!
Maria McQuaw
If Billy, Dusty and Frank are aware of this, and they have to be, then shame on them. The true fans made them what they are and to be treated in this manner is a HUGE turnoff! It's all about respect and when you don't give it, you won't recieve it in return. To borrow a quote from The Who, "Won't Get Fooled Again!! People who are about to waste their hard earned money have to be made aware of what to expect! Buyer Beware!!!!

Birds of a Feather is a special, magical place–your dream come true! Our community, founded in 2004, is a gay and lesbian community like no other in the world located in the "Land of Enchantment", sunny Northern New Mexico.
Our LGBT community began as a vision by its founder, Bonnie McGowan, to create a thoughtful community development as a safe haven for people of like minds. Our community is made up of people who care about environmentally responsible living; an active and healthy lifestyle; and forming strong social connections when we need them most–as we are aging.
We are currently offering a few fabulous re-sale lots in Phase I, as well as several of our newly created lots in Phase II, which are available for our floorplans or your custom designed home to be built by one of our approved builders. All of our 1/4 to 3 acre lots are pine-forested and most have magnificent views! Lot pricing starts at $44,900 with all underground utilities (water, telephone, electric to the lot line). High speed internet currently available by wireless or satellite service. DSL coming soon.
Most of our current community residents and lot owners (ages 45 & up) are planning on "aging in place", ie: staying in their homes as they age. Our homes are designed with aging in mind and our community supports staying physically fit and active. Our residents enjoy hiking on our 140-acre property, as well as gathering to share meals, celebrate birthdays and holidays, playing games or golfing and traveling together. Visit our "meet your neighbor" page to see photos of current and future residents and their homes, as well as read what they have to say about living at Birds of a Feather!
"Good to be Green!" Our aging populations and the "green movement" are two mega-trends for the 21st century, driving demand for "aging in place" and eco-friendly home design. Combining these approaches makes good sense for a second or retirement home that is easy to live in, healthy, and super energy efficient!
Birds of a Feather is now offering a fabulous energy-efficient, architect designed floor plan which we are calling "Los Nidos" meaning the nests! There are two sizes to choose from... 1275 and 1425 sq. ft. and both have two bedrooms, two baths, and an open floorplan. The larger size includes an office/den. You choose your favorite homesite, floor plan and finishes and take up to five years to build!
Check out our Los Nidos page for pricing, floor plans, elevations and more detailed information!
You also have the option if you prefer, to design a custom designed home or EcoNest. You may also choose from our architect designed southwestern style "casita" floor plans or our newly offered "Little House" floor plan of about 960 sq. ft... perfect for LGBT retirement or a second-home get-a-way! Check out all of our housing options!
Living in our community includes fabulous neighbors, access to many acres of adjoining private property conserved as green space with trails for walking/hiking, as well as a community center proposed for the future.
Interest rates are at historic lows and our local banks have great lot and construction financing available for qualified buyers. Please call us for more information or to reserve your homesite in our community today!

How Managers in Multinational Corporations perceive Stakeholders and Societal ResponsibilitiesRahbek Pedersen, Esben (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The stakeholder approach has become a popular perspective in mainstream management and corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature. However, it remains an open question how real‐life managers actually view their stakeholders and what rationales are used for making judgments about their relative importance. This article will try to answer these questions by examining who managers in multinational corporations (MNCs) consider as their stakeholders and how they value them. It is concluded that managers still tend to hold a rather narrow (managerial) view of the firm and primarily give priority to stakeholder groups which are directly involved in the core transformation system. The conclusions are derived from interviews and surveys of in total 662 managers in four MNCs. The data is collected as part of RESPONSE: a large EU‐ and corporate‐funded initiative on corporate social responsibility (CSR). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7936

Reflections on the "Dark Side" of Impact AssessmentLund-Thomsen, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper considers the issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR) standard impact assessment in global value chains. CSR standards have proliferated in recent years, and several studies have attempted to assess their effects on local producers, workers, and the environment in developing countries. However, much less attention has been paid to the "dark side" of impact assessment – the ethical and political dilemmas that arise in the process of carrying out impact studies. This paper addresses this gap in literature, arguing that impact assessments of CSR standards may do more harm than good to the intended beneficiaries - developing country firms, farmers, workers, and communities - unless these ethical and political dilemmas are given serious consideration.

Business Model Opportunities and Barriers for Fashion LibrariesRahbek Gjerdrum Pedersen, Esben; Netter, Sarah (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore barriers and opportunities for business models based on the ideas of collaborative consumption within the fashion industry. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis is based on a multiple-‐‑case study of Scandinavian fashion libraries – a new, clothes-‐‑sharing concept that has emerged as a fashion niche within the last decade. Findings: It is concluded that fashion libraries offers interesting perspectives, e.g. by allowing people to experiment with styles without having to pay the full cost and becoming a meeting place for young designers and end consumers. However, at present fashion libraries remain a small-‐‑scale phenomenon with difficulties reaching the mainstream market, not least due to limited financial and human resources as well as conventional fashion consumption patterns. Research limitations/implications: The study is limited to the new phenomenon of fashion libraries and does not cover other types of collaborative consumption within the fashion industry (Swap-‐‑parties, etc.). Originality/value: The paper is one of the first attempts to examine new business models of collaborative consumption in general and the fashion library concept in particular. The study contributes to the discussions of whether and how fashion sharing and collaboration holds promise as a viable business model and as a means to promote sustainability.

The Case of Nike in PakistanLund-Thomsen, Peter; Coe, Niel (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article examines the circumstances under which CSR initiatives facilitate and/or constrain labor agency in GPNs. Using a case study of Nike's CSR approach in the football manufacturing industry of Pakistan, we explore how the CSR measures advocated in a new, emerging policy paradigm on CSR in GPNs affect labor agency at Nike's main football supplier factory in Pakistan. We argue that international companies may undermine labor agency in GPNs through their sourcing policies, but that their CSR policies could have a potential, albeit limited, positive impact on labor agency in GPNs which is significantly shaped by national-level contextual factors.

Vallentin, Steen; Murillo, David (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Modern governmental approaches to CSR (corporate social responsibility) have two distinguishing traits: they tend to define competitiveness as their primary concern and to make use of liberal and indirect means of steering. Contributing to a political understanding of CSR and focusing empirically on developments within the EU, this paper approaches CSR governance in general and competitiveness-driven CSR governance in particular from the point of view of an analytics of governmentality – thus introducing governmentality studies to the field of CSR. The aim of the paper is first, conceptually, to make sense of the governmentality approach in terms of the practical brand of critique it embodies and its positioning vis-à-vis other comparable contributions to our understanding of the government of CSR. And second, analytically, to propose a framework for analyzing the governmentalities of CSR. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7908

Advantages of strategic ambiguityMorsing, Mette; Langer, Roy (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper we analyze the construction of corporate social responsibility in the business press as an act of strategic ambiguity. While corporate social responsibility (CSR) generally evokes positive associations in public opinion, this paper demonstrates that these associations are based on a broadly encompassing and ambiguous definition of CSR. Our empirical data shows how the business press in its discourse on CSR provides no clarity on the definition of CSR in terms of a coherent motive, a dominant stakeholder or a consistent issue, but rather maintains ambiguity and imprecision about the meaning and content of CSR. While ambiguity and imprecision may be seen as an act of uncertainty in a passing stage when a new phenomenon emerges and develops, our longitudinal data demonstrates how ambiguity is preserved during a ten year period in four different daily newspapers. Ambiguity is systematically maintained in the business press. We refer to this process as strategic ambiguity. The paper discusses the potential value and limitations of framing CSR in a state of strategic ambiguity in the context of the concurrent rethinking of the role of business in modern welfare societies.

An Analysis of Donor-financed Management ToolsLund-Thomsen, Peter; Jamali, Dima; Vives, Antonio (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for more than 90% of the world's enterprises and 50-60% of employment. Their contribution to national and regional economic development and GDP growth is well-recognized (Morsing & Perrini 2009, Srinivasan & Bolar, Under Review). In fact, SMEs are thought to have enhanced local productive capacities, fostered innovation and entrepreneurship, and attracted foreign direct investment in both developed and developing countries (Raynard and Forstater 2002). However, whereas SMEs account for more than 60% of employment in developing countries, and although they are sometimes portrayed as key vehicles in the struggle against poverty in Southern contexts, (Luetkenhorst 2004), there is still a critical lack of knowledge about to the extent to which these firms may contribute to achievement of broader objectives of sustainable and equitable development (Fox, 2005). In fact, when it comes to their role in promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) in developing countries, the verdict is still out there in terms of the extent to which SMEs engage in CSR, and whether their CSR involvement makes any difference to the profitability of firms, workers, and the environment in the South (Jamali et al., 2009; Sachdeva & Panfil, 2008).

Ney, Caroline Julie (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: As sustainable development practices expand among companies, innovation appears more and more as a required path to progress towards the integration of ecological concerns at the very heart of business activities. Ecodesign not only requires this integration but can also be a concrete tool for its implementation (Le Pochat, 2005). Our results show that while implementing ecodesign practices, companies mobilize existing competences, that they combine with new ones. These new competences originate from exploration-orientated external cooperations. This original combination of competences paves the way for an internal research, made mostly of exploitation but still including some exploration projects. Long-term continuous innovation (Verona, Ravasi, 2003) requires an appropriate balance between exploration and exploitation. The litterature refers to this balance as « ambidexterity ». The present paper provides evidence for a competence development process associated to the implementation of ecodesign. By combining contextual and network ambidexterity, this process promotes a continuous stream of innovation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7118

Thompson, Grahame (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Many formulations of contemporary globalization suggest that citizenship is being radically transformed by processes of transnationalism. And the business world is reacting to this sense of change by firms claiming to be 'global corporate citizens'. But what exactly does global corporate citizenship mean and what are its implications? In this paper a preliminary response is made to these questions by situating corporate citizenship within the wider framework of constitutional debates about private economic law and the juridicalization of the international sphere more generally. The paper poses the issue of whether there is a quasi-constitutionalization of the international corporate sphere underway and the possible governance consequences of this process.

Hockerts, Kai; Wüstenhagen, Rolf (København, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper proposes a model of how incumbents and new entrants engage in sustainable entrepreneurship. We suggest that in the early stages of an industry's sustainability transformation, new entrants ('Emerging Davids') are more likely than incumbents to pursue sustainability-related opportunities. Incumbents react to the activities of new entrants by engaging in corporate sustainable entrepreneurship activities. While these 'Greening Goliaths' are often less ambitious in their environmental and social goals, they may have a broader reach due to their established market presence. This paper analyses the interplay between 'Greening Goliaths' and 'Emerging Davids' and theorizes about how it is their compounded impact that promotes the sustainable transformation of industries.

Abstract: This paper draws on interviews with 12 investor relations directors. These were used to elicit the mental models respondents used when explaining their firms' motivation to engage in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Four dimensions of CSR-induced competitive advantages emerged: risk, efficiency, branding, and new markets. Respondents from firms with lower social performance drew on less differentiated and less balanced cognitive frameworks (focussing on risk and efficiency). Respondents from firms with higher social performance reported not only more links between CSR and competitiveness, their underlying cognitive models were also more balanced across the four dimensions.

Strand, Robert (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The metaphors of strategic management are predominantly rooted in competition in support of the objective to achieve a "competitive advantage." Drawn from military, sport, and (oftentimes incomplete) interpretations of evolutionary biology, these metaphors imply that business is a zero-sum competitive game. Metaphors are not "just" words but, rather, they impact thoughts and actions. Hence the use of competitive metaphors encourages competitive behavior in business. We argue that this misdirects the purpose of business from being about value creation and, moreover, that value creation is most effectively achieved by approaching business as a fundamentally cooperative endeavor. Furthermore, these "survival of the fittest" sorts of metaphors inhibit considerations toward ethics, humanism, and sustainability. We call for a shift toward metaphors rooted in cooperation and as a means to do so we also call for a shift in focus from achieving "competitive advantage" toward achieving "cooperative advantage" as the objective of strategic management. We conclude by laying out some promising research avenues for further considerations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8880

Rahbek Pedersen, Esben (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to develop a model of how managers perceive the responsibilities of business towards society. The article is based on the survey responses of more than 1,000 managers in eight large international firms. It is concluded that the managerial perceptions of societal responsibilities differ in some respects from the mainstream models found in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business ethics literature. The article is an output of RESPONSE: an EUand corporate-funded research project on managerial perceptions of CSR. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7126

Yokoyama, Keiko (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The growing practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has led to increasing research attention in the literature to the role of CSR strategy. CSR strategy is a concept for maximizing profits or benefits for both society and the company. Studies of CSR strategy during the 1990's and the early 2000's were mainly limited to examining the concept of CSR, and merely discussed the needs and importance of the strategic development of CSR. Recently, strategy researchers have proposed more specific CSR strategies by applying their knowledge of strategic management. This paper first summarizes these CSR strategy studies and then proposes an approach to CSR strategy from a new perspective. This paper also identifies issues that a company may face when implementing CSR and suggests approaches to CSR strategy to overcome these issues. To overcome the CSR issues, the paper discusses (1) a framework for recognizing the contribution that CSR activity makes to corporate performance, and (2) approaches to CSR strategy for resolving tradeoffs inherent to the CSR activity. This paper proposes that a company design its CSR activity so that it expands the company's stakeholders, resources and capabilities. Secondly, because the impact of CSR activity occurs both through external factors, such as legitimacy and reputation, and through internal factors, such as implementation and learning, efforts to stimulate the processes are discussed. Lastly, based on the above considerations, the outcome of CSR, corporate performance and the resolution of tradeoffs inherent to CSR are further examined. This paper concludes by pointing out that, from the perspective of CSR strategy, it is most important for a company to implement CSR activity regarding it as a social business, based on a careful review of its core business.

Abstract: Over the past decade product service systems (PSS) study has established itself as a research field. Most recently scholars have occupied themselves with the design and implementation of product service systems, which they posit help reduce environmental and economic inefficiencies. However, extant literature leaves open the question why such inefficiencies exist in the first place. This paper proposes opportunistic behaviour, bounded rationality, and asymmetric information as possible explanations for the existence of the inefficiencies discussed by PSS scholars. It continues by exploring five types of property rights and the role they can play in increasing eco-efficiency. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7123

The Relation Between Policies concerning Corporate Social Responsibility and Philosophical Moral TheoriesAn Empirical InvestigationFrederiksen, Claus S. (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper examines the relation between policies concerning Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and philosophical moral theories. The objective is to determine which moral theories form the basis for CSR policies. Are they based on ethical egoism, libertarianism, utilitarianism or some kind of common-sense morality? To address this issue, I conducted an empirical investigation examining the relation between moral theories and CSR policies, in companies engaged in CSR. Based on the empirical data I collected, I start by suggesting some normative arguments used by the respondents. Secondly, I suggest that these moral arguments implicitly rely on some specific moral principles, which I characterise. Thirdly, on the basis of these moral principles, I suggest the moral theories upon which the CSR policies are built. Previous empirical studies examining the relation between philosophical moral theories and the ethical content of business activities have mainly concentrated on the ethical decision-making of managers. Some of the most prominent investigations in that regard propose that managers mainly act in accordance with utilitarian moral theory (Fritzsche and Becker, 1984; Premeaux and Mony, 1993; Premeaux, 2004). I conclude that CSR policies are not based on utilitarian thinking, but instead on some kind of common-sense morality. The ethical foundation of companies engaged in CSR thus does not mirror the ethical foundation of managers. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7822

Theory and Practice of Stakeholder Engagement in ScandinaviaStrand, Robert; Freeman, R. Edward (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this article we clarify the historical roots of stakeholder theory to establish that a much larger role was played by Scandinavian thinkers in its development than is currently acknowledged. We show that important contributions to the stakeholder concept were being made by Eric Rhenman and his Scandinavian contemporaries in parallel to the contributions from the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the early 1960s and thereafter and thus are not a "historical trail" as they are currently labeled. Therefore we offer a significant modification to the historical narrative as presented in Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach (Freeman, 1984). These important Scandinavian contributions include the first publication and description of the expression "stakeholder" in management literature accessible to scholars throughout the world and the introduction of the first stakeholder map to the management literature. We use this occasion to consider potential relationships between these early Scandinavian contributions to the stakeholder concept with current practices of well-known Scandinavian companies. Through this we contend the evidence suggests relationships worthy of further considerations. We conclude by endorsing the expression "Scandinavian cooperative advantage" through which we intend to provoke increased attention from beyond Scandinavia. Cooperation between companies and their stakeholders is increasingly recognized as necessary for the social and environmental sustainability of world and the long-term profitability of companies where we contend inspiration for such cooperation may be prosperously drawn from Scandinavia.

Getting started
A rough-and-tumble market is driving new designs and features as the once humble vacuum cleaner goes high-tech. But we've found that high-priced, feature-laden machines don't necessarily clean better. You'll find strong performers for as little as $100. Use our vacuum cleaner guide to select the best model for your home.
The right vacuum for the job
Carpets top the list of critical cleaning chores, an area where upright models have traditionally excelled. But you may prefer a canister or a central vacuum for other cleaning. Within types, check our Ratings (available to subscribers) of canister and upright models for a powerful unit, one that performed well on carpets, bare floors, and in our airflow tests. Here's what else to go by when shopping:
Try before you buy
Some vacuums are easier than others to push, pull, and carry. See which feels best at the store. Many of the heavier upright vacuums do not score well in our handling tests.
Protect your ears
The noisiest vacuums we tested produced 85 decibels or more, the level at which we recommend hearing protection. Canister vacuums as a group tend to be quieter.

Apocalypse Schaal.
Is there any other way to think of the Comedy Central special that comedian Kristen Schaal delivered last spring? It appeared on April Fool's Day at midnight, a dead giveaway of its intentions (and probably the lamest thing about it). It was a sustained bit of performance-art-meets-stand-up, as playfully unnerving as anything since Andy Kaufman. Before it aired, Schaal — probably best known as the stalker-fan Mel on HBO's "Flight of the Conchords" and the NBC page Hazel on "30 Rock," — tweeted repeatedly that no one should watch her embarrassing special.
What happened was: Schaal, who has the look and voice of a particularly cheerful serial killer, told a few jokes, did a few bits, then became flustered over her inability to say "airplane"; she looked pained and left the stage; Kurt Braunohler, her comedy partner (not identified as such), came out and apologized; Schaal returned, only to be heckled by a young girl, who got onstage and did a few minutes of confident material; so Schaal, now very flustered, walked off again, declaring her career over; then finally, rallying, returned and danced while Braunohler shouted repeatedly: "Kristen Schaal is a horse!"
The audience left.
As planned, presumably.
How does a stand-up comedian follow a performance so potentially alienating? We asked the Northwestern University graduate, who is appearing Saturday at the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre, alongside Dave Chappelle, the Conchords, Al Madrigal, Demetri Martin and Chicago's Hannibal Buress. The following is an edited version of a longer chat.
Q: Your special had a bit of scorched earth to it — I know it's a joke, but did it change the way people regarded you? Have you done a lot of stand-up during the past summer?
A: It didn't really change anything. Everything feels so saturated now, I'm not sure enough people were even paying attention. Basically, I wanted to bomb on national TV, and I did it! It was different, but I don't know if anyone had a strong reaction, to be honest. I'm not sure it was on a lot of people's radar. I wanted people to fall for it for two minutes. I wanted everyone to fall for it, but then I thought it would be clear how orchestrated it was once a little girl climbed onstage, right? I wanted whoever turned on that special, even in the middle, to look around the room and ask, "Wait, what's happening?" I wanted to turn one of those (comedy specials) on its head and for people to live in that space for a little bit until they realize that it's all been planned out.
Q: That song, "Kristen Schaal is a horse," over and over, it does get stuck in your head.
A: It's what my heart beats to.
Q: What program were you in at Northwestern?
A: Performance studies. I wanted to be an actor, but when I transferred (in sophomore year, after a freshman year in her home state, at University of Colorado) the theater program was full. But I could eat lunch with the theater kids. It was good enough. Mary Zimmerman was one of my teachers. But transfer students were second-class citizens, and there were a lot of restrictions, so I sat in on (longtime acting professor) Mary Poole's acting class every day for a trimester, until she felt sorry for me and let me in the class. Which is what I wanted. Then I took improv at Second City and Improv Olympic and began acting. At Second City, I was never onstage, just in the classes, but ("30 Rock" co-star) Jack McBrayer coached a few times.
Q: Did being in performance studies influence your direction toward conceptual comedy?
A: I think it did, absolutely. After three years of adapting short stories to perform into weird things, it heavily influenced me.
Q: The last time I saw you, you were onstage in Rogers Park, wearing a whoopee cushion.
A: Sounds right. I was a character who was big in his time but was not funny now. I found it interesting, because hardly any jokes stand the test of time. Every joke has a shelf life, even ones not based in pop culture.

i think i liked E2 more than this and i already share my thoughts on that title, E2 its not that good and you get a pretty poor idea of what is going to be the new issues
but this
well i think the dynamic, the characterization and action is very good
Im just not sold on the characters themselves
both Mr Terrific and Huntress really damaged my opinion on this characters
so both Helena and Kara end up in another dimension
and then Helena robs BW to get some living, and she becomes the huntress, this I can understand cause, what else is she gonna do?
but then we get that there was a Helena on E0 and died, why?, it feels unnecessary and disrespectful
I think its funny that pretty much Gail Simone is one of the writers who got more screwed by the relaunch, her characters fridge and deleted or regressed to a lesser form
maybe is just a coincidence
then Kara uses her "scientific knowledge?" to build her own company to build a machine to go back to her own earth
and then she suddenly becomes a superhero, NOW
she never bother to use her powers to help ANYONE
this is something that i thought a lot before the issue even came out and this didnt do anything to clarify
the use of Mr Terrific's awful version of Kara was a terrible idea
I just have no idea where this is going, i feel like this is going to be a Guiligan Island scenario, basically all the issues will be about trying to leave the island, and they will never leave it as a rule
Kara and Helena(or Hel) will never go back to E2, and if they do the title is canceled
and is almost made worse by the fact that Mr Terrific did it, and had the capacity to do it all the time, but Kara never asked him for whatever reason
this is a couple of characters that lies, steals and deceives for no real reason, not to mention Kill in the case of Huntress, they are just selfish
they are so alienated from E0 on every way that i dont see why is this set on it
it could easily take place on E2
Im giving this a 6 out of 10
just not impress

RENO — Muckel Anderson CPAs, a full-service tax, audit and financial services firm, has moved its office to 300 E. Second St., suite 1320, in the Jones Vargas Center in downtown Reno, a 15-story office tower located across from Aces Ballpark. The Class A office building is managed by Basin Street Properties, a prominent West Coast real estate investor in commercial and mixed-use properties.
Muckel Anderson CPAs chose to move to its new downtown Reno location to accommodate a more efficient office space for its 23 full-time employees, including 13 CPAs, and to remain downtown among the professional services firms that are situated in the Reno redevelopment district. The firm had previously been located at 100 W. Liberty St.
"We have been anticipating the move for nearly a year and our team is excited to be in the new office — just in time for tax season," said Grant "Butch" Anderson, managing partner of Muckel Anderson CPAs. "Our firm's roots are in Reno and the majority of our clients live and work here, so we are pleased to be able to continue to invest in the city and our firm's future growth."

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Orange, Conn. Diesel Spill
About 8,000 gallons of diesel fuel were released after a motor vehicle accident at 8: 37 am at the intersection of Fernbrook Road and Rt. 34 in Orange, Conn., caused a truck to roll over. The Delta Bulk Transportation truck was out of West Bridgewater, Conn. The state Department of Environmental Protection, the lead agency for the response, notified EPA of the release at noon and an EPA representative arrived at 4 pm.
According to Delta Bulk, a car cut off the fuel truck, resulting in the rollover. Oil from the truck travelled from the road into a storm drain that empties into the Two Mile Brook, which flows into the Housatonic River about 1.4 miles away. Route 34 was re-opened at about 5:45 p.m.
A local fire fighter who also runs a heavy equipment leasing company used a backhoe to pile soil near the leaking truck, allowing oil to collect in the road and reducing the impact on the river. Some 3,000 gallons were recovered, and 2,500 were taken off the truck, leaving the final estimate of oil released to the water at 2,500 gallons. Of this, an estimated 100 gallons reached the Housatonic.
Delta Bulk Transportation hired a contractor to do the cleanup. A dirt dam constructed on Two Mile Brook captured the released oil and provided a good recovery point. The work continued through the night. DEP travelled up the Housatonic River in a boat to the outfall of the brook. The sheen was sufficiently light and small that a boom was not necessary. The shoreline of the Housatonic River and wildlife did not appear to be impacted.
Location: Route 34 and Fernbrook Road, Orange, CT

He claims to be a successful businessman. When he ran Bain Capital, it was going into bankruptcy in the 1990s and he had to secure a rescue from the FDIC. Yes, a big government bailout. In turn, he was able to leverage a $10 million profit for himself and his top executives at a cost to us, the real taxpayers. As I write this, in Freeport, Ill., an auto-parts plant called Sensata is stripping its equipment to be shipped to China. Its 170 workers, after being forced to train their Chinese replacements, will be left with no job, no health care and retirement pensions that will probably not be there. Sensata made a profit of $504 million last year. This of course was not good enough for Bain Capital.
The average pay for workers at the plant was $17 an hour, however, by moving the plant to China, it will pay the workers $1 an hour. Mitt Romney will say that his interest in Bain Capital is now in a blind trust. Regardless, he stands to make $8 million off the deal. So this is the man that America will elect to lead us and defend our interests.

DURHAM -- Public elementary schools in the Durham District School Board and the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Board, which includes Clarington, are open today after teachers called off their one-day protest.
After nearly 13 hours at the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the board declared the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario's planned day of protest is an illegal strike.
"We respect the OLRB's decision and will comply fully with the ruling," said ETFO President Sam Hammond in a statement after the ruling at 4 a.m. Friday. "We did not believe this to be an illegal strike based on past political protests directed at the government. We respect the provisions of the Ontario Labour Relations Act - something we have requested the minister and the government to do for almost a year."
The ETFO had called the planned Friday one-day protest on Wednesday, but Premier Dalton McGuinty said it would be illegal for the teachers to strike and asked the board to decide yesterday.
The Durham board announced it would close all schools following the ETFO's Wednesday announcement, but later chose to wait and reevaluate the decision after the labour board's ruling. At 5:45 a.m. Friday the board said in a press release schools will remain open and buses will run, and apologized for any inconvenience.

Power Restored to 10,000 Fargo Xcel Customers; Crews Still Working to Restore Power to SomeAbout 10,000 Xcel Energy customers have power again after a widespread outage early this afternoon gripped parts of Fargo and West Fargo. UPDATED: Power restored to 10,000 Xcel customers; crews still working to return power to rest
By: Kristin Daum, Inforum
FARGO – About 10,000 Xcel Energy customers have power again after a widespread outage early this afternoon gripped parts of Fargo and West Fargo.
As of 7:50 p.m., crews were still working to get power back for about 5,660 customers still affected by the outage.
"We really appreciate customers' patience as we work through this difficult situation," said Mark Nisbet, Xcel's principal manager for North Dakota. "Our crews will continue to work safely as we restore power as quickly as possible to as many as we can, but the possibility remains that outages for some customers may last for an extended time period."
The outage began at 1:40 p.m.
A 115-kilovolt transmission line tripped offline, causing equipment to fail and sparking a fire at the substation at Main Avenue and 42nd Street in Fargo.
The incident cutt off power to the substation and all of the Xcel customers it serves.
At its peak, the outage left more than 16,000 customers without power for at least four hours.
The incident affected West Fargo, south Fargo and portions of the industrial park in north Fargo.
The outage has darkened homes and businesses, as well as traffic lights, making for potential hazards after sunset.
As nighttime set in and homes grew colder, many people took refuge at West Acres Shopping Center, which still had power.
The customer service desk there reported taking more than 50 calls from people wondering if the mall had power.
Meanwhile, West Fargo Public Schools was forced to change some of its activities Saturday since the high school was also hit by the outage.
Xcel is offering updates as available through www.xcelenergy.com/outages and its Facebook page, "Xcel Energy North Dakota."

Units: 3
Meeting Time: Th 6:25-9:05

Course Start: January 12, 2012
Within the San Joaquin Valley's eight counties, there are over 220 low-income unincorporated communities that lack basic infrastructure (e.g., sidewalks, parks, streetlights) and reliable access to public services (e.g., public safety officials, healthy drinking water, wastewater disposal) for their nearly 500,000 residents. The Community Equity Initiative, a project of California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. (CRLA), works to address and eliminate social, political, and environmental factors that negatively impact these communities.
This practice-oriented course will provide students an opportunity to serve these communities using the tools of environmental justice, land use, and local government law. Students will build knowledge in these legal fields in the context of community-based lawyering. Led by counsel from California Rural Legal Assistance, students will work in small groups on legal research and advocacy projects for client neighborhoods. The class will require at least one trip to the Central Valley, where students will (1) learn from community members about their priorities and concerns, and (2) discuss legal findings directly with neighborhood groups.
Students will have work product deadlines during the semester, and they will present and reflect on their work at the conclusion of the term. To facilitate collaborative and practice-oriented work, the course will be ungraded.
APPLICATION PROCESS: Enrollment will be limited to ten students. Students with prior coursework or professional experience in environmental justice, land use, and local government will be prioritized for enrollment. Interested students should submit a resume and a covering email with a 1-2 paragraph statement of interest and experience to Professor Michelle Wilde Anderson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This course satisfies the Skills Requirement.

The Open Utopia is an open-source, open-access, multi-platform, web-based edition of Thomas More's Utopia.
The Open Utopia is an open-source, open-access, multi-platform, web-based edition of Thomas More's Utopia.
"…though no one owns anything, everyone is rich." -- Thomas More, Utopia
At the core of More's famous description of an alternative society is the principle that all property should be held in common. Since Utopia was published in 1516 many English language translations have passed into the public domain, yet there is still not a complete edition easily accessible. The Open Utopia will be the first.
But The Open Utopia is something more: it's an experiment in scholarly communication. For centuries scholars have expressed themselves primarily in print: individual ideas locked on paper pages. The Open Utopia is an effort to explode that model: the text will be readable in a variety of formats, listenable via recordings of staged readings, and viewable as an illustrated "DigiLuxe" flip book. The Open Utopia also opens up the concept of authorship: readers can remix More's original text, use Commentpress to annotate Utopia, post Utopia-themed videos, and through a Wiki collaboratively write their own Utopia. And this is just the beginning.
I've built a working (albeit incomplete) prototype of the The Open Utopia which I invite you to check out at: http://theopenutopia.org but I still need your help with funds:
* To translate from Latin to English the remaining sections of Utopia not already in the public domain.
* For actors to record a staged reading of Utopia.
* For creative and technical help in designing the DigiLuxe flipbook of Utopia.
* For design and programming assistance on The Open Utopia site to move past the prototype stage.

Susan Levine is collaborating with Janellen Huttenlocher, the William S. Gray Professor in Psychology, and a number of graduate students on research investigating the effects of variations in a child's surroundings and nurturing on the growth of language, mathematical and spatial skills in preschool and elementary school children. This research has shown large effects of schooling on the development of cognitive skills previously believed to be heavilyinfluenced by the child's biological endowment. Ongoing studies are aimed at identifying the nature of school input that is most effective in promoting cognitive growth. She also studies early quantitative development among infants and young children. This research also is carried out in collaboration with Huttenlocher and with graduate students.

The Smarter Data Center
Data centers have a bad reputation lately. Administrators often complain they are expensive to maintain, consume too much energy and run inefficiently. They've been viewed as a burdensome utility or worse: a barrier to growth.
But what if your data center could be a high-performing strategic asset? What if you could allocate more of your IT budget to innovative new projects? According to the 2012 IBM Global Data Center Efficiency Study, enterprises with highly efficient data centers allocate 53 percent more of their IT budgets to new projects because they are able to minimize maintenance costs. As one of the world's largest builders and managers of data centers, IBM can help you realize this goal by creating optimized, flexible data centers that are aligned with your business imperatives. By planning, designing and automating key functions of your data centers, we build efficient, effective computing hubs that serve as a platform for agility and innovation.
