Copenhagen Fashion Week
Every February and August, Copenhagen hosts the Nordic Region's largest fashion event, Copenhagen Fashion Week. As industry movers and shakers get dressed and ready for a week of sartorial extravagance, the runways come alive with a diverse cast of fashion talents — Danish and international, new and established, classy and street. Meanwhile, the four trade fairs, Vision, Gallery and CIFF/CIFF KIDS, boast upwards of 1,100 exhibitors representing more than 2,400 international collections in all categories of style.
Scandinavian fashion is known for its unique take on design, which marries modern elegance to playful aesthetics and conceptions of dress. A contemporary approach to fashions both feminine and masculine is expressed in fresh silhouettes, innovative fabrics and sharp colour schemes, all in unsurpassed qualities. These are only a few of the reasons why more than 50,000 international buyers, designers and press attend Copenhagen Fashion Week twice a year.
Of course, the other main attraction to see is Copenhagen itself. It's a cosy yet metropolitan harbour city that offers a rich array of design venues, cultural events, shops, cafés, bars and nightlife.
If you want more information about the participating designers and trade fairs, or the city of Copenhagen in general, check out our official guide book or send an email to info @ copenhagenfashionweek.com.

Intended Use
For the qualitative screening of serum IgG antibodies to Entamoeba histolytica using an Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbant Assay (ELISA) technique.
Amebiasis is the disease caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. This organism is endemic throughout the world in developing countries, and can be found in immigrants and travelers from these areas. The disease usually manifests with intestinal symptoms. In a minority of cases, the organism will become extra-intestinal and lead to abscess formation in different organs. Of the organs that could be affected, the liver is the most common site. Typically, the organism can no longer be found in the feces once the disease goes extra-intestinal. Serological tests are useful in detecting infection by E. histolytica if the organism goes extra-intestinal and in excluding the organism from the diagnosis of other disorders (e.g. chronic liver diseases, ulcerative colitis, etc.). This serology test should not be used for detecting intestinal infections. An Ova & Parasite (O&P) test or an E. histolytica fecal antigen assay is the proper assay for intestinal infections.
Since antibodies may persist for years after clinical cure, a positive serological result may not necessarily indicate an active infection. A negative serological result however can be equally important in excluding suspected tissue invasion by E. histolytica.
Principle of Procedure
The micro test wells are coated with E. histolytica antigen. During the first incubation with the diluted patients' sera, any antibodies which are reactive with the antigen will bind to the coated wells. After washing to remove the rest of the sample, the Enzyme Conjugate is added. If antibodies have been bound to the wells, the Enzyme Conjugate will then bind to these antibodies. After another series of washes, a chromogen (tetramethylbenzidine or TMB) is added. If the Enzyme Conjugate is present, the peroxidase will catalyze a reaction that consumes the peroxide and turns the chromogen from clear to blue. Addition of the Stop Solution ends the reaction and turns the blue color to a bright yellow color. The reaction may then be read visually or with an ELISA reader.
Please refer to the complete Package Insert for more information.

Questions about mortgage for a fourplex
In my recent situation with FHA, I was allowed to use the total rents based on a rent survey for the property minus out the county vacancy factor for the county (It happened to be 15% also). This number must be equal or less than the total payment for the property, PITIMI. I just closed this in the LA area and the client is living in his unit for free. Its a great way to go and the 4 unit loan limits are much higher than the single family loan limits,
What does an underwriter for a bank or mortgage company guidline go by for VA home loan.?
You are correct. The clock starts from the last event but both events need to wait out their respective waiting periods. In this case both events have 2 year waiting periods. Thus you should be good to look for a loan in Oct 2013. Good luck and happy house hunting

I own one home and currenlty am renting it and living elswhere and would like to refinance it.
For a rental property most loans are maxed at 75 loan to value when trying to combine multiple loans into one loan. If the first is eligible for HARP you may be able to refi just the first and lower the payment but combining them into one loan want work until you have more equity.
High Debt to Income Ratio & Mortgages
This is right on the edge of being done. FHA allows the most flexible guidelines for ratios. They can possibly allow up to 55% for you total debt ratio. I would suggest you have a local mortgage professional look into your situation and see. They part that may hurt you is that your payment will also include taxes, insurance, and mortgage insurance. Have a professional run your numbers and see how close your are.
Is a PMI single payment available for FHA loans?
If you are looking to "Buy Out" you have to use a conventional loan. The conventional loan programs have options for as little as 3-5% down. Much better way to go if you can qualify for it.
Home Affordable Refinance Program will be extended 2015
I am glad that they extended the program to 2015. This has helped a lot of people lower their monthly payments and stay motivated to keep homes that are underwater. I hope that this is a good sign of more changes to come!
Conventional loan, credit 750, would like to refinance to combine my escrow, under water
As of now, the only programs that really help underwater homeowners are FHA and HARP, Since you don't have your escrows currently included I can assume your are not FHA currently. Use the online look up tools and determine if you are fannie or freddie backed. If you and it was acquired by the investor before 5/31/09, it can easily be done.

Organized Labor Discovers the Joys of Voluntary Association
opposing "right to work" laws that further insert the state into relations between employees and employers by governing agreements between businesses and unions and forbidding closed, union-only shops. Decade after decade, politicians put their thumbs on one side of the scale or the other, and these laws are just a move in their eternal game of "I'm really your friend." But organized labor has struggled in recent years to adapt to changing times. Less then seven percent, and dropping, of private sector workers choose to join a union. Now comes word that labor is adapting tactics that pretty much anybody who isn't viscerally opposed to unions should applaud. They call it alt-labor, but you may know it as voluntary association and free speech.
I've ruffled a few feathers in the past byWrites Robert VerBruggen at RealClearPolicy:
Unions have been in decline for years in the private sector, and now they're losing major political battles in the public sector, too. So, labor groups are trying a new strategy: Instead of going through the normal channels to win workplace elections and represent laborers officially, they are cobbling together as many participants as they can to stage strikes, hold protests, wage public-pressure campaigns, organize boycotts, and file lawsuits against employers. We saw this, for example, in the recent "$15 an hour" fast-food strikes, and in last year's Black Friday protests at Walmart.
VerBruggen points out that these alt-labor groups give up the legal advantages the government has granted formally organized labor unions over the years—compelled membership after successful workplace votes, in some states, as well as mandatory collective bargaining—in order to work flexibly and with a variety of new tactics.
Josh Eidelson describes some of those tactics at The American Prospect:
Twenty years ago, when Rutgers labor professor Janice Fine first set out to count the nonunion groups that were organizing and mobilizing workers, she found just five in the entire country. Today, her tally stands at 214. These groups organize farmworkers and fashion models. They go by names like "workers' centers" and "workers' alliances." Some are rooted in the immigrant-rights movement as much as the labor movement. Lacking the ability to engage in collective bargaining or enforce union contracts, these alternative labor groups rely on an overlapping set of other tactics to reform their industries. The ROC teaches workers their rights and also restaurant skills; advises and publicizes model employers; and helps organize protests like the ones at Capital Grille, making customers aware of what goes on behind the dining room. The ROC also lobbies state and local lawmakers for reforms and helps workers take legal action when all else fails.
So... Less reliance on government-backed coercion, more demonstrations, public relations, and shaming. That is a big step in a positive direction. It's a necessary step, too, with unions representing only 6.6 percent of private sector workers and 35.9 percent of public sector workers. The old model no longer works. Let's hear it for the older model of public debate and economic pressure.
VerBruggen concedes that many critics of unions may still not like what the new labor groups have to say, but that's life. They have the right to say it, and to a greater extent than in recent memory, they're trying to achieve their goals through non-coercive means.
The main problem with unions is not that they agitate for better wages and conditions and say bad things about corporations. It's not even that they sometimes break the law and need to be sanctioned for it. The problem is that for decades the government has been giving these organizations special legal privileges, severely limiting freedom of contract both for businesses and for workers who don't support unions.
The newest element of the labor movement is one that eschews most of these privileges, instead relying on basic constitutional freedoms to achieve its goals. Union critics should see that as a victory.
Good for them.

This is exactly right.
And don't forget that a Public Sector Union's love isn't like a square's love.
How do "educating workers about their *rights*" and filing lawsuits constitute Less reliance on government-backed coercion?
It depends on what the rights and lawsuits are about. If they are talking about contract rights or enforcement, or anti-fraud actions, then I do not see a problem with it (though I am rather dubious this makes up the bulk of what is going on).
Closed shops harmed the union movement in this country. If you have a closed shop, the union doesn't have to give a fuck about the welfare of each individual worker. If the company screws you over, big deal. The next guy they hire has to join the union. So the union doesn't care. But if it is a right to work state, there is no guarantee that the next guy will join the union. So the union is going to defend you personally and has an interest in making sure you are satisfied with being a member.
What closed shop did was allow the Democratic Party to turn unions into cash boxes looting the union dues to support Democratic causes while really not worrying about the interests of the worker. Right to work makes for better unions. But it also makes them necessarily less instruments of the Democratic Party. So of course the Dems hate right to work.
a closed shop is also very effective at enforcing conformity. Just try to be the guy who works a bit harder, who produces at a higher rate, etc. Unions kill individual initiative, sacrificing it at the altar of the hive.
They do if it is a closed shop. If it is a closed shop, everyone is just a stream dues and nothing more.
Wouldn't the problems you and John note be ones that any exclusive deal would run a risk of?
I may not understand your question. My point is that a closed shop enforces performance norms among members. Anyone deemed an overachiever is brought back in line. Can't have that worker making the rest look bad.
I do not disagree, I am only noting that such would be a risk in any exclusive deal (where entity A agrees only to work with entity B). Entities still make such deals because, I guess, at times other factors (certainty or uniformity) might be desired.
While unions are very much the lapdogs of the Democratic party, individual union members are, in healthy numbers, Conservative and becoming more so. I outed myself as a Conservative when I first came to work here and ever since I've been amazed at how many Conservative union workers there are. Unfortunately, as long as union bosses determine who goes out on a job call and who doesn't Conservative union members will still keep their heads down even in this Right to Work state.
Union workers are often, and traditionally, working class white men who are unsurprisingly less than thrilled with liberal policies such as affirmative action, higher taxes, gun control, etcetera.
to buttress your point, a good many people in WI fled the public unions when membership was no longer compulsory.
This is something that's often pointed out as a difference between the USA and pretty much the entire rest of the world.
Instead of going through the normal channels to win workplace elections and represent laborers officially, they are cobbling together as many participants as they can to stage strikes, hold protests, wage public-pressure campaigns, organize boycotts, and file lawsuits against employers.
Losing badly under the set of rules they created, they turn to "guerrilla tactics". Fine, as long as employers are free to fire them, and file counter suits.
These groups organize farmworkers and fashion models.
If these are joint meeetings, I imagine it's not hard getting the farm workers to attend.
Exactly what part of the NLRA has been repealed that leads Tucille to think that unions are eschewing most of it's priviledges?
Anything other than pure freedom of contract rights for all sides means unions still have the government's thumb on the scale in their favor.
Real test will be if these voluntary unions turn to coercion and government involvement if their voluntary methods fail. No one likes losing.
boycotts? strikes? those are terrorist tactics that hurt innocent parties!
Bring on the robot scabs!
-The old model no longer works. Let's hear it for the older model
I think this is correct, but in a different sense. As I understand it the old model, to the extent it was legitimate and not gang coercion, was that unions would represent groups of highly skilled workers. That seems to me to be something that could work at times without government coercion. Take pro-sports. While playing pro sports may be nearly every man's dream, there are not that many very elite level athletes. Whenever there is a strike in professional sports there will be literally thousands of people interested in being replacement labor. But the product of pro-sports is not men playing sports, but the very best men playing sports. In 'scab seasons' the games are less interesting. As long as a significant number of such men 'hold the line' I can see them exacting significant concessions from employers.
Unionizing less skilled labor seems rightly doomed to failure if there is no government coercion or impediments to movement of labor.
there is one differnce between sports and the typical labor union - the employer, in this case the team, can fire or trade a player for a number of reasons. Much tougher in the typical union shop.
Also sports is odd in another way. The player sunion is a cartel of players. But the league is also cartel, one of teams. It's two cartels negotiating.
This would be like if all fast food restraunts joined a cartel and set labor condidations to be worse than wat the market equilibrium would otherwise be, and then agree to not compete with one another. In such a case, I can see why a labor union is good in order to counter the cartel with another cartel.
But in almost every industry, different firms have to compete for labor. If one sucks, its workers leave for the next one. Sports unions are pretty much an oddity.
The strange thing is, unions basically *are* cartels - something which is illegal in every other part of business.
Imagine if oil companies (or any other set of businesses, large or small) 'unionized' and said they would only sell their labor at a price well above market clearing.
California's coercion stems from 'prevailing wages'. All public sector contracts have to include a statement of compliance to prevailing wages. To get a private construction permit through the red tape all medium and large scale projects contracts will have the same. This prevents mom and pop contractors from undercutting union contractors. I grok the problem, in principle, but I've never met a pipe fitter or electrician, union or not, who doesn't like this. This is class warfare. The people who actually know how to do something don't want their wages stamped to ground by lawyers and money managers.
Anyone deemed an overachiever is brought back in line. Can't have that worker making the rest look bad.
Exactly. Union work rules are designed to squelch any sort of initiative or innovation.
It's not 1975, TLPB. In the year 2013 an electrician (IBEW or not) will not work or eat if he doesn't have initiative. You don't hire sparky to be innovate. The exception to this is government hangouts like the LADWP.
Can someone explain something to me? Why do unions seem to operate inevitably from a "pressure group" model. It strikes me that there's no reason a union couldn't just as easily thrive through a training and marketing model that gives their members a relative advantage against non-union competition. To some extent, that seems to be the model predominant in the skilled trades. In that case, I wouldn't imagine that there wouldn't be employers happy to pay a premium with an organized partner and labor provider, or even certify themselves through union membership.
Because the 'training/marketing' model requires the acceptance of *competition*. Unions are business (despite what they try to tell you) and no large business passes up an opportunity to put up barriers to entry.
The 'coercion' model means that the union doesn't have to *innovate* or increase efficiency - they can keep doing the same shit, pulling in large amounts of money while giving shit service because, where're you gonna go? All the jobs in your field are closed shop. Shut up and pay your dues or starve.
So, basically, unions have been stripped of a lot of their *power* (and are losing more) so now they actually have to do stuff the members *want*, instead of whatever's best for the union.
They are also losing the power to manufacture grievances against management - now the *member* get to decide if management is mistreating them and what, if anything, its worth doing about it rather than the union getting to simply proclaim that the workers are being mistreated and the union is going to take care of it for you.
Fucking markets, how do they work?
Got a friend of mine - a heavy equipment operator (basically a glorified truck driver). Did some work for his company on a (government) job in CA. He had to join the union, who took out almost $700 of his $1,800 a week paycheck. What benefit did *he* get from the union? Nothing.
Still, I suppose $1,100 is better than nothing - company had no work in AZ at the time.
(basically a glorified truck driver)
Give me the keys to an 18 wheeler and say goodbye to every lamp post and telephone pole in your neighborhood.
I just think the term HEO is churching it up, like calling janitors 'sanitation engineers'.
HEO=Heavy Equipment Operator
There's been some push-back on that. Engineers want their BS degree certified by getting payed more than technicians and operators. There really is such a thing as a sanitation engineer, as in someone who knows how a wastewater digester works. (Only one tiny bone from the ear will survive the process, in case you have unwanted dead body on your hands.) The HEO term probably comes from contract negotiations. If you want me to operate that forklift, as well as taking out the trash, you'll have to pay me more. There's nothing terribly wrong about that, as far as I can see.
I've ruffled a few feathers in the past by opposing "right to work" laws that further insert the state into relations between employees and employers by governing agreements between businesses and unions and forbidding closed, union-only shops
Begging the question.
the entire point of contention is whether or not "right to work" does, in fact, further increase or decrease the amount of ... umm ... insertion.
"right to work" laws . . . further insert the state into relations between employees and employers . . in the sense that school vouchers further insert the government into the business of education.
I've ruffled a few feathers in the past by opposing "right to work" laws that further insert the state into relations between employees and employers by governing agreements between businesses and unions and forbidding closed, union-only shops
This is a union talking point.
Right to work laws don't insert the state further, they remove avenues for state-based coercion.
Right to work laws make unions false claim on the ownership of labor back into something unsupported by law.
Thus, RTW laws REMOVE the state from relations between employers and employess by forcing out union mandates that are backed by the force of law.

User Review: Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $25
This keeps not only the rocks from poking me, but also keeps me insulated from the cold ground. This made my AT thru hike much more enjoyable.

- Comfy
- Insulating
- None
During the cooler nights, it is always nice to have some sort of insulating pad to lay on to help keep you warm.

I think you're missing the point of whiskey in the first place.So Knob Creek Rye -- bought a bottle on a whim -- is a bit too rough. Missing the crispness that other ryes have. That's kinda my problem w/ Knob Creek in general though. Once you get to 50% (or above) in ABV you kind of lose the subtle flavors.

From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Transportation authorities say a passenger inadvertently carried shotgun shells onto a plane at Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport. . . .
[According to another passenger] the pilot came on the intercom and said the plane had to return to the gate because a passenger had told a flight attendant he had the shells in his carry-on bag. . . .

Before outdoor writing became all how-to, all the time, one of the more common subjects was loss of friends, human and canine. This produced a great many maudlin, sappy articles but it also accounted for a few masterpieces.
Probably the best known is Corey Ford's "The Road to Tinkhamtown," which was first published in the late 1960s and then again in our 100th anniversary issue in 1995. It has also, I believe, run elsewhere in recent years.
From The Journal Times:
[Frank Hannan-Rock of Racine,] who was arrested while openly carrying a gun on his porch Sept. 9[,] filed a lawsuit Friday against the city and two members of the police department.
The lawsuit. . . challenges Wisconsin's Gun Free School Zone Act, claiming it "unconstitutionally deprives plaintiffs of a meaningful opportunity to bear arms. . . ."

Dave and I get chided from time to time for writing about guns that cost too much for ordinary people to buy. Today's topic is a gun I can pretty safely predict none of us will be able to afford: Nash Buckingham's "Bo-Whoop," probably the most famous waterfowl gun ever, goes on the auction block in March. Buckingham's Super Fox, named for the sound of its report, has been missing for over 60 years, making it the Maltese Falcon of American doubles. Some people think it may fetch even more than the $287,500 brought in 2007 by the Parker A-1 Special made for (and never delivered to) Czar Nicholas II of Russia in 1914,
If your hams are weak, you have a scant supply of wits, and your eyes purge thick amber and plum tree gum, the title of this post will mean a great deal to you, because Redfield scopes were once at the top of the heap, and its decline and fall were a sorry thing to see. Redfield got into the scope business in 1959 by acquiring Kollmorgen Optical, and retained the three knurled rings on the ocular-lens housing that were the trademark of Kollmorgen's Bear Cub scopes. To shooters of my generation, those three rings were as meaningful as the Cadillac logo.
There are only a few books on guns that are worth a damn, and to make matters worse they are rarely updated* and become less valuable over the years. Such is the case with Warren Page's The Accurate Rifle (1973) or Jim Carmichel's The Book of the Rifle (1985)--still eminently worth reading, but now quite dated.

Keeping in line with today's theme of outrageous prices paid for extremely rare rare items (see Merwin's post on the $177,000 bluefin tuna), I came across this item while perusing one of my favorite bird-hunting sites, Upland Journal this morning.
Here's a rare picture: a 2009 limit of Iowa roosters (they're hard to come by this year), and, rarer yet, me with a 20 gauge. I can't remember the last time I shot a rooster with a 20 before this season.
In a book on primitive man that I re-read from time to time, it says that a single man alone in the wilderness is lucky if he survives more than a year. Without help around, something will do him in. (On the other hand, five people can last for 30 years.) This same rule was echoed by a guide who operated out of Anchorage: "Don't ever hunt alone in this state."
A decade and a half ago I was hunting caribou in northern Quebec with a young guide whose name I've forgotten, but who was only 19 and tough. I had shot a caribou and we were on our way back to the boat, him carrying a tumpline pack that probably weighed 150 pounds.

Something that has to be considered, since money is tight these days. When somebody 'hates' their kitchen, they want to get rid of what they don't like. That's fine, but showing some woman smashing up perfectly-good cabinets just for the camera is not the best thing to do. The homeowner can sell old cabinets, or re-purpose them in a garage or basement. Smashing up is drama, not practical. I'd suggest the host actually talk about re-purposing, instead of a dramatic sledge-hammer moment.

This has been discussed many times.
#1 You complaining in the wrong area, this is just a bunch of people helping people with DIY projects.
We all agree with you and have many times talked about just how silly some of the the DIY shows are.
They think it makes good intertanment.

Burglar hits Habitat for Humanity, steals over $13,000 in tools
A charity is asking for help after they were victimized by a burglar.
In one week, Habitat for Humanity was burglarized in the Carondelet neighborhood two separate times, with the suspects taking around $15,000 worth of tools.
The organization is now asking for help to replace their stolen tools. Instead of giving tools, Kyle Hunsberger, director of construction, says money is the most helpful donation. He also says there is something else the community can do, "It goes without saying, don't buy tools from somebody that rolls up in a pickup truck and says they have a really good deal."
Anyone interested in helping, can donate at habitatstl.org.
Anyone with information on the burglaries is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 866.371.TIPS
Maplewood Police seek bank robbery suspect

No suspect in North St. Louis shooting on Sunday
No leads after a teen was shot North St. Louis on Sunday afternoon.

Missouri man accused of impersonating an officer
PECULIAR, Mo. (AP) — A 21-year-old Missouri man is accused of impersonating a police officer during two traffic stops, including one that sparked an armed confrontation with a shotgun-toting teenager.
The Kansas City Star reports Beaudonavan Martin Jr. of Peculiar has been charged with two felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon and one misdemeanor count of impersonating an officer.
One man told police the suspect was "cussing and very angry" during an encounter Tuesday night. In a second case that night, a teenage couple asked a friend to get his shotgun because someone was tailgating them and flashing his lights.
The two victims arrived at the friend's location and say the suspect got out of his vehicle holding a handgun and ordered the teen with the shotgun to drop it.
Charges filed in death of Granite City teen

Robber tries to rape homeowner, beats her with hammer
A 34-year-old man faces several charges after prosecutors say he tried to rape a Bridgeton woman before violently attacking her with a hammer.
Police say on April 21 Daniel Lee broke into the woman's home to steal coins. Lee found the home owner then allegedly tried to rape her and started to viciously beat her with the hammer. During the arrest, police say Lee also tried to grab an officer's gun.
High School Teacher accused of having sex with student
St. Louis Public School officials have placed a high school teacher on leave after he allegedly had sex with a student.
Court documents say David Marler had sex with a male student at Soldan High School. Marler also allegedly gave the same student an inhalant that made him dizzy and lightheaded. Marler faces eleven charges, including sodomy, sexual contact with a student, and endangering the welfare of a child.
The school placed Marler on leave on Monday.
St. Louis Police are asking any parents who believe their kids may have been victimized by Marler to call the Child Abuse unit at 314.444.5385.
State charges dropped against small town Illinois swindler
DIXON, Ill. (AP) - The Lee County state's attorney says she decided to drop state charges against former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell because a second trial after her conviction in federal court would not result in additional jail time or restitution.
Crundwell admitted in the federal case that she stole nearly $54 million in public money from the northern Illinois city over some two decades that she served as its bookkeeper.
The Lee County prosecutor, Anna Sacco-Miller, said Tuesday that any sentence in the state proceedings would be served concurrently with the nearly 20 years that Crundwell received in February in the federal case. As a result, she says, the expense to taxpayers of a second trial cannot be justified.
The charges can be refiled if Crundwell's appeal of her federal sentence is successful.

Last week, Jonathan Ortmans predicted that 2014 will see cities take the center stage in entrepreneurship policymaking. So we thought we should take an occasional look at how this trend is taking shape overseas -- starting with a new paper from the World Bank on India.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is looking for feedback from entrepreneurs and small business owners on a proposed rule to implement equity-based crowdfunding as required by the Jumpstart Our Business Startup (JOBS) Act.
New legislation introduced this month in the Senate could turn what was anticipated to be a sleepy start on Capitol Hill for entrepreneurship advocates into a fresh look at how Washington, DC, helps entrepreneurs and new firms.
While we are seeing more attention to addressing the paucity of useful national entrepreneurship data globally, efforts to develop comparable city-level information have been less of a focus with only a handful of global city rankings. How are city leaders now moving beyond dated "cluster and technology park" thinking to appeal to entrepreneurs and investors?
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Below, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories compiled from the last week. You can also find a recap of its most popular stories from 2013.
One new trend in innovation and entrepreneurship data is to produce a comprehensive picture of the ecosystem. Bloomberg followed this practice and recently analyzed data from each U.S. state and the District of Columbia to rank them on innovation.
Interested in launching a startup but afraid you will make critical errors at the outset that will torpedo your efforts? The Kauffman Founders School has introduced a new education series featuring insights from Noam Wasserman, who teaches an award-winning course on entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School and is the author of The Founder's Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup.
As we begin 2014, members of Congress return to Capitol Hill and there are a few committee hearings scheduled for the week ahead. In the House, private sector STEM programs get a look from the Committee on Science, Space and Technology while Africa's emerging economies are the focus of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In the Senate, the only relevant hearing currently scheduled is a review of government support for bank holding companies including testimonies from entrepreneurship professors from MIT Sloan School of Management and Chicago Booth School of Business.

Long-time readers of The 10b-5 Daily know that this blog has been interested in South Korea's efforts to establish a private securities class action system. As the deadline approaches for the new legislation to go into effect, financial regulators continue to weigh the costs and benefits. In this article from the Korea Times, the governor of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) notes that securities class actions can be misused and discusses the prevalence of these suits in the U.S. Another article from the same paper, however, quotes a FSS official as stating: "It's fair to say the imminent class action lawsuit has also kept companies from cooking their books."

The debate over restructuring the electric industry has encompassed a revisiting of the traditional rate-of-return (ROR) pricing model. Parties of widely divergent interests increasingly advocate alternatives. Under the label "performance-based regulation," these new pricing models share the objective of strengthening incentives for electric utilities incentives to pursue some specified "socially desirable" outcome.

Filings Against FERC's Pro Forma Tariffs
Two power pools (em one existing, the other inchoate (em have announced that they will file tariffs to price electric transmission as the difference in spot prices in the generation and consuming markets.
On May 31, 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued its Statement of Policy in Docket No. PL94-4-000, Pricing Policy for New and Existing Facilities Constructed by Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines.1 In that decision, the FERC sought to provide upfront rate certainty, thereby giving pipelines and shippers a firm basis for making decisions on large-scale investments.
But is that objective realistic?
Ah, the wonders of competition! Out with waste, in with efficiency. The prospects are exciting. So why look back wistfully?
If there is anything more abhorrent than wife-beating and drug abuse, surely it must be monopoly. Monopoly is un-American: To the economist it represents the very state of original sin. To the courts it ranks with conspiracy. Monopoly promises economic waste, throttled production, obscene profits, and naked power (em all rolled into one. Consider what used to be called the "public utilities." In that sphere, regulated monopoly flourished for many years.
Lately I'm reading up on the new Telecommunications Act. Last week I printed a copy from the Internet and stuffed it in my briefcase. Each night on the train I give it a go and skim a few sections.
The new law unabashedly favors competition over regulation, but appoints state commissions (PUCs) to certify when that competition may be deemed effective enough to open markets. Thus, the PUCs will take at least one last shot at managing markets before they relax regulation for competitive services.
The authors asked pipelines
and LDCs how they used storage.
Leasing activity proved a surprise.
Since deregulation, the natural gas industry has seen tremendous changes in every sector. Competitive pressures have reorganized business strategies so much that only those firms that adapt will survive. One area that stands ripe for change is the natural gas storage market.
Why build gas storage fields?
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved a policy statement, Alternatives to Traditional Cost of Service Ratemaking for Natural Gas Pipelines, giving pipelines greater flexibility to use market-based, negotiated/ recourse, incentive, and other alternative rates (Docket Nos. RM95-6-000 and RM96-7-000). Pipelines may negotiate new rates with customers, but may not negotiate services that might degrade open-access service under Order 636. The FERC is still considering what type of service flexibility it should allow.
Competition from Order 636 has gas customers rethinking their firm capacity options.
Just when everyone thought we had put Order 636 behind us, up pops perhaps our greatest challenge yet: the turnback (or "decontracting") of firm capacity on interstate natural gas pipelines. This phenomenon, now emerging on a few major pipelines, such as Transwestern, El Paso, and Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America, inspires different reactions.
Nearly every major rate case over the past several years focuses some attention on removing subsidies running between rate classes.
