Former ABN Amro equity team target growing international demand for a Danish-run Nordic long/short equity strategy that has steadily returned more than 30% since 2007, generating positive performance in both 2008 and 2011
The original fund has been running since September 2007 and is domiciled in Denmark. While Danish investors accounted for the majority of fund assets early on, that balance has been shifting for some time.
Back in 2010, Juul-Larsen told EuroHedge that international interest was beginning to outstrip domestic demand. Furthermore the firm has also seen a shift towards institutional inflows, having initially attracted mainly private wealth capital.
While foreign investors have always been able to invest in the Danish fund, Juul-Larsen believes the use of a standard Cayman offshore structure is likely to reassure some investors and enhance the perception that allocating to the strategy is now easier...

As I was telling another friend about the bat in the house, she told me about the time her husband had to make his first presentation to an audience of about 100 employees. He was there to explain retirement plan investing opportunities that the company would be offering.
The meeting was being held in the company's headquarters, an old building that was in the process of being renovated. Work on the auditorium had been halted for the training to take place. My friend's husband was terribly nervous. He'd only had a short time to learn the material and had never spoken in front of such a large group. Making matters even more stressful, his boss-a tough former Marine-had gone along to monitor his new hire's performance.
The boss slapped him on the back and handed him the microphone. Speaking quietly to his boss, my friend's husband said, "I have the worst case of butterflies."
He was wrong.
He had bats.
The moment he spoke into the microphone -- "Can you hear me back there?"-- the bats that had apparently been napping inside the speakers were so startled they dropped and began flying crazily around the room.
The first screaming person to flee the building was the tough former Marine boss.
The presentation was rescheduled.
She says she assured her husband that someday, he would see the humor in what happened. Says it's been three years, but he's not yet reached that point.
Good thing he's not married to me. If my spouse had come home with a story like that, first thing I'd have done is go online to see where I could buy a remote-controlled bat.

Went to bed hoping Spring was just around the corner so I could get back to riding my horses. Woke up and looked out my bedroom window to see how much snow had melted off the fields and my riding arena. As I started to smile at the bigger spots of bare ground, a Robin landed in the tree outside my bedroom window. My poor husband just about fell out of bed as I started screaming about Spring and the robin.
Robins are Back!!

I'm getting the error "Invalid e-mail address" when doing Reply To All and there are multiple recipients, or when trying to send to a group of just 6 or 7 people. The e-mail addresses all look fine.
I found that if I save the e-mail as a draft, switch back to the old "Classic" e-mail view, then I can send it just fine with no errors. So it appears to be a bug in the new e-mail UI.
Verizon - can you please confirm this is a bug in the new mail UI, and let us know when it will be fixed?
Also, please enhance the error message to say which address is invalid, rather than leaving us to guess which one - thanks.
Related thread here.
FYI: I got a callback from Verizon support this week saying that the "Invalid email address" problem is a bug in the new e-mail UI. If you have any CAPITAL letters in an e-mail address, it will cause this error.
He said this is supposed to be fixed in an update coming in January.
He did not mention if they will also fix the error message so that they actually tell you which address is causing the problem.
I sent out a group email and it comes back saying, Unknown email: (blank). It does not tell me which of the 150 email adresses is in valid. Please help!

Maceió (Portuguese pronunciation: [masejˈjɔ]) is the capital and the largest city of the coastal state Alagoas, Brazil. The name "maceió" is of Indian origin, and designates the naturally spontaneous courses of water which flow out of the soil. Most maceiós flow to the sea, but some get trapped and form lakes ("lagoas", in Portuguese).
There are plenty of maceiós and lakes in this part of Brazil; because of this, the city was named Maceió, and the State, Alagoas. The new Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport connects Maceió with many Brazilian cities and also operates some international flights. The city is home to the Federal University of Alagoas.
The city began in an old sugar mill and plantation complex around the 19th century. Its development started with the arrival of ships taking wood from Jaraguá bay.
With the installation of the sugar mills, Maceió started to export sugar, then tobacco, coconut, leather, and some spices. Prosperity made it possible for the settlement to become a village on December 5, 1815. Thanks to its continued growth, Maceió became the capital of the Alagoas Province on December 9, 1839.
Maceió is also a port city and due to its port development about 200 years ago it changed from a village into a city.
Maceió | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Climate chart (explanation) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Maceió has a typical tropical climate, specifically a tropical wet and dry climate, with warm to hot temperatures and high relative humidity all throughout the year. However, these conditions are relieved by a near absence of extreme temperatures and trade winds blowing from the ocean.
The city is located between Mundaú Lake and the Atlantic Ocean. The city proper has a total population of 922,458 inhabitants (year 2006) living under a tropical climate with average temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). As of 2010, Maceio metropolitan area had a total population of 1,156,287 inhabitants.
January is the warmest month, with mean maximum of 32 °C (90 °F) (89.6°F) and minimum of 22 °C (72 °F) and more sun; July experiences the coolest temperatures, with mean maximum of 27 °C (81 °F) and minimum of 17 °C (63 °F) and more rain and much higher humidity.
Maceió has a tropical forest. Rainforests are characterized by high rainfall, with definitions setting minimum normal annual rainfall between 2,000 mm (about 78 inches or 2 meters) and 1700 mm (about 67 inches). The soil can be poor because high rainfall tends to leach out soluble nutrients.
There are several common characteristics of tropical rainforest trees. Tropical rainforest species frequently possess one or more of the following attributes* not commonly seen in trees at higher latitudes or trees in drier conditions on the same latitude.[clarification needed]

One substantial local industry is based on chemical products from brine pumped from deep wells on the outskirts of Maceió. Another substantial industry is the fabrication of ethanol and sugar from sugarcane grown in the region. In the last thirty years the tourist industry has transformed the coastal areas of the city into vibrant centers of entertainment for Brazilian and foreign tourists (Americans, Italians, French, Germans, Argentinians, etc.).
These coastal neighborhoods include coconut palm trees, playgrounds, squares, open-to-the-public football, volleyball, and basketball fields, residential buildings, bars, nightclubs, tourist-oriented shops, restaurants, banks, hotels, and gambling houses (slot machines and bingo only, since casino games are illegal in Brazil).
The GDP for the city was R$ 9,143,488,000 (as of 2008[update]);[1] The per capita income for the city was R$ 9,894 (as of 2008[update]).[2][3]

American jazz and rock and almost all Brazilian styles and dances are played all over the city in bars, pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, street festivals, concerts, private gatherings, and churches all the year round. Some classical music in concerts in the University, in the theater, and museums can also be heard.

Festa Junina[edit]
Festa Junina was introduced to Northeastern Brazil by the Portuguese for whom St John's day (also celebrated as Midsummer Day in several European countries), on June 24, is one of the oldest and most popular celebrations of the year. Differently from what happens on the European Midsummer Day, the festivities in Brazil do not take place during the summer solstice but during the tropical winter solstice. The festivities traditionally begin after June 12, on the eve of St Anthony's day, and last until the 29th, which is Saint Peter's day. During these fifteen days, there are bonfires, fireworks, and folk dancing in the streets (step names are in French, which shows the mutual influences between court life and peasant culture in the 17th, 18th, and 19th-century Europe). Typical refreshments and dishes are served. It should be noted that, like during Carnival, these festivities involve costumes-wearing (in this case, peasant costumes), dancing, heavy drinking, and visual spectacles (fireworks display and folk dancing). Like what happens on Midsummer and St John's Day in Europe, bonfires are a central part of these festivities in Brazil.
This is a typical Alagoas revelry that resulted from the union of Reisado (an Epiphany celebration), Auto dos Caboclinhos (Caboclinhos' Play), Chegança (public folk play depicting a naval battle) and Pastoril (outdoor folk play). Its choreography and costumes with colored ribbons and beads reproduce the cathedral's façades on the monumental hats covered with mirrors.
This is a dramatic dance motivated by the sea. It tells the sea adventures of the first navigators in its songs accompanied by guitar and ukulele.
Boi do Carnaval is a popular culture display derived from Bumba-Meu-Boi. It is always presented together with La Ursa (The Bear), Vaqueiro (Cowboy) and a percussion band whose rhythm captivates everyone that hears it.
Gogó da Ema was a famous palm tree with a crooked trunk roughly shaped like a curvilinear letter N. The tree fell on July 27, 1955 at 2:20 in the afternoon.[4] It has become a symbol for Maceian culure and tourism, and there is a beach named after the celebrated tree. The tree also appears in folkloric art and music throughout northeastern Brazil.
Main sights[edit]
Maceió is home to numerous beaches, the color of sea varying from emerald green to blue; the water is always clear. The sand is white and there are many coconut plantations.
The Maceió sea has natural pools and reefs a few meters off the coast, that can be accessed by boat or raft sailings. The Mundaú lake is another option for sailing and bathing in transparent water.
Historical buildings include the Cathedral of Our Lady of Pleasures (1840), the Deodoro Theatre, the Municipal Market, the Historical Institute Museum and the Floriano Peixoto Palace, seat of Alagoas State government.
Gastronomy include fishes, shrimps, crabs and lobsters are some of Maceió's specialties. Fresh seafood is prepared from local recipes, such as tapioca, acaraje, carne-de-sol, cuscuz de tapioca. A kind of mollusk, the sururu, is appreciated in the city and is incorporated in many typical dishes.
Maceió is connected to the main cities of Brazil by the BR-104, BR-101, BR-316 and AL-101 highways.
International Airport[edit]
Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport located outside Maceió serves the area with international connections to Milan in Italy and Buenos Aires in Argentina, as well as cities throughout Brazil.
In 2012 the airport handled 1,719,979 passengers.
The Port of Jaraguá is a Brazilian port located in Maceió. The commercial and economic development of the Port of Jaraguá, next to the margins of the Mundaú lagoon, was responsible for the emergence of an important settlement that received the name of Maceió and later became the present capital of Alagoas. The Port of Jaraguá is situated in a natural port area that facilitates the ships docking. During the Brazilian colonial period, the most important products exported from there port were sugar, tobacco, coconut and spices.

Christopher Julius "Chris" Rock III (born February 7, 1965) is an American comedian, actor, screenwriter, television producer, film producer and director. He was voted in the US as the 5th greatest stand-up comedian of all time by Comedy Central. He was also voted in the UK as the 9th greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups in 2007, and again in the updated 2010 list as the 8th greatest stand-up comic.
Rock was born in Andrews, South Carolina. Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. A few years later, they relocated and settled in the working-class area of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. His mother, Rosalie (née Tingman), was a teacher and social worker for the mentally handicapped; his father, Julius Rock, was a former truck driver and newspaper deliveryman. Julius died in 1988 after ulcer surgery. His younger brothers Tony, Kenny and Jordan are also in the entertainment business. His older half-brother, Charles, died in 2006 due to a long struggle with alcoholism. Rock has said that he was influenced by the performing style of his paternal grandfather, Allen Rock, a preacher.
Rock was bused to schools in predominately white neighborhoods of Brooklyn where he endured bullying and beatings from white students. As he got older, the bullying became worse and Rock's parents pulled him out of James Madison High School. He decided to drop out of high school altogether and later received a GED. Rock worked menial jobs at various fast-food restaurants.

Ixos XHD 508

This is another rigid cable, the body of which feels powerful and durable.
On the inside, IXOS claims to be using 'medical grade fibre-optic cable', which sounds like the sort of substance you can trust to handle your audio.
Still, for all that promise, we're less than inspired. The Sweeney Todd soundtrack seems confused when all hell breaks loose, lacking differentiation between sounds.
The detail is okay, but the loss of control can't be ignored for this outlay

The Runt Still Manages To Pack A Punch
At only 3.25", the Runt stun gun is pretty damn small (but still puts me to shame). They come in 350,000, 650,000 and 950,000 volt models and there's even a rechargeable 950 model that plugs directly into the wall via retractable plug. It'll operate about 300-500 times on a full charge, which is good because thats how many times I like to shock attackers. The rechargeable version costs $70, and all the other ones are cheaper. I'd been thinking about getting a stun gun for my girlfriend for some time, and I decided to go with one of these since it's nice and compact. She hates it. Mostly because I told her it was a handheld electrolysis hair remover. You should have seen her trying to get rid of her mustache, priceless.

Paul Stookey at T.H.E. Show
He brought the house down with a holocaust-inspired sorrowful ballad about a French boy from Alsace-Lorraine. Paul weaved a wonderful story about how the song grew from a purely musical idea of a chord and its harmonic progression into a rich tapestry of musical color and poetic lyrics.
Robert Deutsch adds: One of the highlights of my time in Las Vegas was the concert by Noel Paul Stookey, sponsored by PBN speakers and Cary Audio. As self-effacing as he is talented, Noel (as I understand he likes to be called) told that audience that if they were expecting a one-man version of a Peter, Paul, and Mary, concert they were going to be disappointed. He is very much his own man, with his own songsand very good songs they are, too, performed with the confidence of a master of the folk genre. From the audiophile perspective, an interesting aspect of the concert was that the PA speakers were custom-made by PBN, and the electronics were tube-based Cary Audio models. The sound was excellent.

Associate Deputy Attorney General United States Department of Justice December 5, 2006
STATEMENT OF RONALD J. TENPAS ASSOCIATE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY UNITED STATES SENATE CONCERNING "EXAMINING ENFORCEMENT OF CRIMINAL INSIDER TRADING AND HEDGE FUND ACTIVITY" PRESENTED ON DECEMBER 5, 2006 STATEMENT OF RONALD J. TENPAS ASSOCIATE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE DECEMBER 5, 2006 "Examining Enforcement of Criminal Insider Trading and Hedge Fund Activity" Good morning Chairman Specter, Ranking Member Leahy, and members of the Committee. Thank you for inviting the Department of Justice to testify today concerning its views on the draft bill you have shared with us, entitled the "Criminal Misuse of Material Nonpublic Information and Investor Protection Act of 2006." As I noted in my testimony before this Committee in September, the Department and the Corporate Fraud Task Force are committed to maintaining fairness and integrity in the marketplace by ensuring that individual investors are able to invest their hard-earned dollars without fear of being taken advantage of by those - whether they be corporate officers, members of the financial services industry or others - who improperly use inside information to enrich themselves at the expense of others. I know that I speak for the Task Force membership in extending our appreciation to this Committee for its thoughtful examination of the issues presented by insider trading and the parallel proceedings that are often used to investigate such conduct. As discussed at your last hearing, while the Department of Justice and the SEC frequently investigate the same misconduct, the remedies which each of our agencies bring to bear vary, with the SEC pursuing civil remedies and the Department of Justice responsible for criminal prosecutions. Thus, I will focus my remarks on the bill's criminal provisions and the effect those provisions would have on our criminal enforcement tools. More particularly, I would like to present our preliminary thoughts on some of the overarching problems the bill seeks to address, while also discussing examples of specific concerns we have identified that we think warrant additional attention. In general, we welcome the overall thrust of several of the criminal provisions, although we have a number of specific concerns about language in the bill and whether that language will effectively accomplish its apparent purposes. I want today to give you some illustrative examples of these concerns in the hope that we can work with you in a more detailed fashion moving forward so that any legislation achieves our shared goals of clarifying the legal responsibilities of insiders and supporting our corporate fraud enforcement efforts. I would like to start my discussion with Section 4 of the bill. This section would amend Title 18, Section 1348 by adding a new subsection (b) that expressly prohibits insider trading. When I testified in September, I noted challenges we face in prosecuting insider trading but explained that despite various hurdles, the Department has enjoyed consistent success in prosecuting those who seek to exploit their access to information at the expense of the market. I described examples of our cases, which involve all types of defendants, from corporate officers, directors and employees who traded the company's securities after learning of significant confidential corporate developments, to friends, family members, and other "tippees" who traded the securities after receiving inside information. Nevertheless, we believe it could be helpful to put "inside trading offenses" on a firmer statutory footing than they now stand, which is as a judicially-recognized species of Title 15 offenses that prohibit schemes to deceive associated with the offering and sale of securities. The fact that the detailed elaboration of the elements of this offense have emerged largely through judicial decision-making has produced some degree of uncertainty for our prosecutors and for others for whom clarity in this area is important. Yet, while we agree with the underlying premise of this section, we have a number of concerns about the specifics reflected in the bill. For example, this section is entitled "Willful misuse of material nonpublic information." As you know, in the criminal law, "willful" has a very particular meaning and imposes the highest burden on prosecutors with respect to the "state of mind," or "scienter," we must establish for a criminal defendant. Yet, despite the section's title, the various subsections of the bill contain a variety of other "scienter" standards - the new paragraph (b)(2)(1)(A) incorporates a "knowingly" standard, while paragraph (b)(2)(1)(B) provides no explicit scienter requirement, not even "knowingly." We would like an opportunity to work with you on developing a consistent approach that fairly penalizes wrongdoing but which does not unfairly ensnare the innocent actor. I also observe that new subsection (b) as currently worded introduces at least two substantial changes from current law. First, it eliminates the element that the person who is charged with insider trading be shown to have a "duty" with respect to that information. We are concerned that eliminating this requirement potentially subjects to criminal sanctions those who innocently come by valuable information and trade on it. Thus, it may extend criminal liability more broadly than is warranted. Conversely, the draft bill essentially adds an affirmative defense that trading on inside information is acceptable if that information was "gained by. . . research and skill." We are concerned that, while this may not be the intent, such a formulation will make it more difficult to prove insider trading than is the case under current law. In addition, we are concerned that the phrases "research and skill," "of a specific nature" and "significant factor" may impose burdens we do not currently face, or may be insufficiently precise to provide the notice function normally required of a criminal statute and thus will present real difficulties of proof at trial and in formulating jury instructions. Thus, we think it might be helpful for the Committee, as a better model, to look to the definition of insider trading that the SEC has already promulgated through its regulatory process and to build from that if any adjustments are necessary. We would be happy to work with the Committee in any such effort. Further on in Section 4, paragraph (c) contains a variety of provisions. Again, we find much to applaud in terms of the general thrust, but are concerned with various specifics. In general, we welcome the effort to make clear the Department's authority to investigate insider trading offenses and to do so in a manner that involves express coordination with our partners at the SEC. As you are aware, recent court decisions have, unfortunately, created potential barriers to the conduct of parallel investigations by the Department and the SEC, which are so important to the efficient, targeted and expedited resolution of these complex cases. And one of those decisions, United States v. Stringer, the United States has appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. It is unclear to us to what degree the lower court's decision in Stringer, which rested at least in part on constitutional grounds, is likely to be embraced, rejected or expanded by the Court of Appeals. Thus, we would urge that any final decisions on how to respond should be made only after that Court has issued its opinion, so that we may carefully assess the degree to which legislation can respond to the appellate court's rationale and insure that any legislation provides as comprehensive a fix as possible. In addition, even as currently drafted, there are several aspects of the bill we would like to work with you further on. For example, the language of subsection (c) may result in some unintended consequences because paragraph (1)(A) of subsection (c) restates plenary authority to investigate, an authority we believe falls to the Attorney General generally as to all federal criminal violations. We are always cautious when we see language restating authority we believe already exists. Such language may be cited as evidence that the authority did not exist prior to this revision, or that a prior authority has been altered because the language of the revision does not identically track the pre-existing language found elsewhere. Thus, it may simply be best to remove this language, although again, this is something we would like to discuss more fully. Similarly, proposed paragraph (c)(2) of revised section 1348 would provide that neither the Attorney General nor any other Federal agency would have a duty to disclose any investigation or to disclose any contacts made with a companion agency to "request or receive evidence," except pursuant to a court order issued on good cause shown that the sole basis for a civil investigation is to assist in a criminal investigation. We appreciate the intent of this provision to clarify an area of the law which has been made more murky by recent court decisions such as Stringer. We are concerned, however, that this revision may be too narrow. For example, we have traditionally coordinated our efforts with the SEC through steps more than just "requesting or receiving evidence." Thus, this language might be argued to cut-back on, rather than confirm, the propriety of our traditional coordination efforts with the SEC. Similarly, the language in (c)(2) applies only to investigations of violations of "this section", i.e. Section 1348 of Title 18. Yet, we continue to have parallel proceedings involving the SEC that involve other criminal provisions of Title 18 and Title 15, which could equally be frustrated by these court decisions. Thus, (c)(2)'s limitation in coverage to Section 1348 might be read as an intention to disallow consultation in such other matters. Let me turn now to Section 5, a section to create incentives for private citizens to report and assist in the investigation of insider trading. We always welcome the assistance of private citizens and whistleblowers who report criminal acts or other violations of laws. These reports often reveal wrongdoing which would have otherwise gone undetected. One example of this with which the Committee is familiar is the civil False Claims Act, which provides for monetary awards to successful plaintiffs who initiate a civil qui tam proceeding on behalf of the United States. We are concerned, however, about replicating such a reward statute with respect to criminal proceedings. Giving such substantial financial incentives to individuals to make criminal allegations would be a fairly dramatic departure from past practice in the criminal arena. Thus, we would like the opportunity to think further about whether such a step would on balance be a net positive or negative for our enforcement efforts. Such incentives may produce not only meritorious allegations that are helpful to the government but also false allegations that could result in individuals being falsely accused. In addition, such incentives could be expected to become important grist for impeachment of a key government witness in a criminal trial, perhaps hurting our efforts to prosecute matters successfully. Also, it is unclear to us whether the factors that the statute indicates should be considered in fashioning a reward amount are meant to be exhaustive or only illustrative. One factor that is missing, but which strikes us as potentially quite important, is whether the person providing the information was himself complicit in the crime. Finally, we are reviewing whether the reward scheme conflicts with the Justice for All Act and would impinge on our associated efforts to insure that victims are made whole through restitution, as well as detract from our traditional use of criminal fines to support the crime victim's fund. Finally, a short comment regarding Section 6, which would create new regulatory requirements for hedge funds, including civil penalties, and which the SEC and the Department would have joint enforcement authority over. As I noted at the outset, the Department and the SEC have well-established roles with regard to our securities markets. The SEC has, over the years, developed considerable expertise in promulgating detailed regulatory requirements and enforcing such regulations through civil enforcement action. Thus, we believe it would be a mistake at this stage to tamper with that scheme, and to extend such enforcement duties to the SEC and Department of Justice jointly. We believe it best if the Department "sticks to its knitting" and continues to focus on criminal enforcement, with the SEC having sole authority in the civil arena. Conclusion In closing, let me again thank the Committee for its continuing interest in our corporate fraud enforcement efforts, and its interest in insuring that we have the tools necessary to perform effectively. We remain committed to combating all threats to the integrity of our capital markets and to the welfare of the investing public, as we know you do. Thus, we look forward to working with you to address some of the matters of concern that I have raised, both today in this hearing and beyond. Thank you.

ESO motorcycles were designed by engineer Jaroslav Simandl and built in the Czechoslovakian Jawa/CZ factory. Though the engine was originally designed by Simandl for speedway (and was an exact copy of a British JAP), Simandl designed the S45 motocross engine (named for its actual horsepower output) on the then-new unit construction concept in 1957. Three ESO motors were available: 250cc, 350cc, and 500cc. All were dry sump (using an external oil tank) and fitted with four-speed transmissions. Among the most unique features of this engine design were the straight-cut gears and the backwards-spinning crankshaft.
ESO's were always limited-production machines that ended up in the hands of the best club racers and GP riders. In typical Czech fashion, the ESO came with a complete spares kit that included spare engine, clutch and carburetor components. The ESO was taller, longer, and heavier than many of the British four-strokes of the era, but fast for the times. However, with the long chassis, heavy gross weight and slack head angle, it was a slow responder. Better find a berm!
The engines were so well regarded that Swede Sten Lundin used an ESO engine in a Lito frame to win the 1961 World Championship, while fellow World Champion Bill Nilsson stuffed an ESO engine into a Rickman Metisse in '64. With a better chassis, the Czechoslovakian handling problems disappeared.
Unfortunately, the government commissars felt that the ESO was competing too well against CZ, and by the end of the 1964 season ESO was discontinued as a brand and absorbed into the Jawa factory.
WHAT THEY COST This beautiful example was restored by well-known restorer Eldon Blasco and now belongs to the private Early Years Of Motocross Museum. Value is estimated at over $20,000. Restorable examples, if you can find them, will still cost more than $10,000.
MODELS 250cc, 350cc, and 500cc motocross versions.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR Pay attention to the detailing. A true ESO has lots of chrome bits and hand crafting. There is pin striping on the fenders, tank and rims.

Data backup should be as important to your business as an insurance policy. It is crucial to find a method that protects every level of your data.
To get your development projects under control, consider these five key capabilities when choosing a project management solution.
The cloud made self-service BI accessible. What's ahead for IT and business users?
Our storage analyst, Jon Toigo, takes a look back at the major events and trends in storage this year and asks what this means for 2013.
The cloud continues to be a hot topic for IT. Here are three storage trends to watch in 2013.
Emulation can pay big dividends. We examine emulation's long history, its value, and what's ahead, focusing on its use at Unisys.
What are the Next Big Things data center managers are watching?
This year saw more ups than downs, at least for mainframe boosters.
If you could ask for an IT skill for the holidays, what would it be? Network architects and mobile app dev specialists are just two of the types of skill that will be in demand next year.
These three trends will play a role in deciding which applications are the best candidates for the cloud.
The key to zero packet loss lies in understanding the four key sources of loss.
Applications technologies are changing rapidly. What trends and advances should developers pay attention to?
Virtualization matured in 2012; in 2013, virtualization will finally replace physical as the primary environment within the data center.
What's the latest in development languages, and what is BYOX?
As demands on IT continue to grow, so does the importance of workload automation. We examine three trends from 2012 and what's ahead in 2013 for this resource-saving technology.
Look for these transforming trends in your network security in the coming year.
With budgets under scrutiny, cloud computing may offer a strong ROI -- but only if you calculate costs properly.
A new exploit poses as law enforcement to trap users into paying to unlock their system What you need to know about the exploit and how to keep your users safe.
The full benefits of virtualization technologies can only be realized by integrating predictive analytics into IT operations so managers can gain greater control over capacity, efficiency, and risk.
As IT became more business-critical, it had to deal with skills shortages. What's ahead in 2013?

Berg, Petter (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: During the last ten years there has been a rigorous debate on how to improve anti-cartel enforcement in Europe. Introducing private enforcements systems, like in the US, was early in the process regarded as one of the most important steps for significant improvements. In contrast to public enforcement, private enforcement relies on adequate compensation to customers harmed by a cartel. But cartel damages are hard to calculate and the European Commission has therefore presented a draft guideline on how to quantify harm to assist courts and claimants. The focus in the guidance is on price effects, but cartels are also likely to cause other types of damage, such as efficiency effects. For example, a Swedish committee investigating cartels in the 1950's stated that "A monopolist or a cartel can charge too high prices in relation to its costs. A cartel determines prices after the least efficient firm in the cartel, and hence protects it" (SOU 1951:27). This statement reflects an early awareness that pricing and efficiency effects from cartels are deeply related, and jointly determines the harm for consumers. This thesis aims at re-joining the discussion of cartel prices and efficiencies for the purpose of determining cartel damages. It will focus on the issue outlined above, i.e. cartel behaviour and the harm caused by cartels when a cartel consists of members that are not symmetric in costs. Cost asymmetries can be both exogenous and endogenous to cartel formation, but rather than discussing why asymmetries arise, I will in the four chapters focus on the effect the asymmetries have on cartel prices and hence consumer harm.

A linguistic contribution to the comparative study of national ways of thinking and communicatingLundquist, Lita (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recently, it was observed that the French President Nicolas Sarkozy 'uses a lot of verbs' (Calvet & Véronis 2008), what contributes to the impression he makes of being a "turbopresident". At the same time, the (then) Minister of State in Denmark, Anders Fogh-Rasmussen, was characterised as being arrogant because of his top-down, formal, and impersonal way of communicating. If these two styles of communication stuck out as being noticeable in their French and Danish political framework respectively, it is because they were seen against the backdrop of social norms spelling out other rules for communicating in the two societies; a French norm, for presidents at least, stipulating not to use a lot of verbs, and a Danish norm telling not to be formal and impersonal.

Strandsbjerg, Jeppe (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It is common practice to consider global space a coherent entity that naturally contains social practices and provides the stage for actors of global politics. Yet, such a view ignores the social process of establishing a global space as a framework for other social practices. This paper suggests that an analysis of cartographic practices is key to understand the historical formation of spaces. Drawing on Bruno Latour, I show how the globe has been assembled through cartographic practices in Europe from 1450-1650. I trace how the emerging discipline of cosmography transformed knowledge of the world, and how the Spanish attempts to map the world during the 16th century put in place a system to cartographically establish a new reality of global space. Finally, the paper focuses on how the world was published by Dutch map makers which disseminated this novel global reality and, in effect, made it mobile. This leads to the conclusion that the global map preceded, and assembled, the globe as a unified abstract space enabling the expansion of European political and economic practices.

Abstract: Our everyday actions have important consequences for the constitution and transformation of the local, national, regional and global contexts. How, what, and with whom we spend, save, invest, buy and produce in our ordinary lives shapes markets and how states choose to intervene in them. The political, economic, and social networks with which we associate ourselves provide us not only with meaning about how we think economic policy is made, but also constitute vehicles for how economic policy, both at home and abroad, should be made. And while elite actors in politics and economics obviously have more direct influence, this should not obscure the point that peripheral actors can challenge the legitimacy of how power is exercised. Nor should it obscure the point that such actors have a good deal more agency in terms of determining their own life experiences as well as those of others through their everyday actions than is commonly recognised.

Evolutionary Aspects of Technological Learning in Korea's Electronics IndustryErnst, Dieter (København, 1998)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper addresses a puzzle: How is it possible that a country that has established a broad, export-oriented industrial base at record speed, remains vulnerable to the vicissitudes of international finance and currency markets? I argue that the Korean model that was tremendously successful for catching-up, has now reached its limits. The analysis centers on the co-evolution of industry structure and firm behavior. The focus is on the role of technological learning for the development of the electronics industry, a main carrier of Korea´s successful late industrialization. It is shown that a heavy reliance on credit and an extremely unbalanced industry structure have given rise to a narrow knowledge base and a sticky pattern of specialization. Catching-up has focused on capacity and international market share expansion for homogeneous, mass-produced products; very little upgrading has occurred into higher-end and rapidly growing market segments for differentiated products and services. Such truncated upgrading is one important reason for Korea´s vulnerability to the financial and currency crisis. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8101 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Boards are endogenously chosen institutions determined by observable and unobservable firm characteristics. Empirical studies of large publicly traded firms have successfully controlled for observable determinants of board size and shown a robust negative relationship between board size and firm performance. The evidence on smaller closely held firms is less clear; we argue that existing work has been incomplete in analyzing the causal relationship due to weak identification strategies. Using a rich data set of almost 6,000 small and medium-sized closely held corporations we provide a causal analysis of board size effects on firm performance using a novel instrument given by the number of children of the founders of the firms. First, we find no empirical evidence of adverse board size effects when the size of the board lies in the typical range for closely held corporations of three to six directors. Second, we find a significantly negative board size effect for the minority of closely held firms that are characterized by having comparatively large boards of seven or more members and non-complex operations.

Abstract: The causal relationship between insider ownership and market valuation is tested by simultaneous estimation of the causes and effect of insider ownership among the largest continental European companies. Controlling for nation and industry effects insider ownership (measured by the fraction of "closely held" shares) is found to have a positive effect on market valuation (market-to-book values). And market valuation is found to have a positive feedback effect on the level of insider ownership. The findings provide empirical support for a theoretical model proposed by La Porta et al (1999). But the results are also found to be sensitive to owner identity: while a higher level of financial and corporate insider ownership is found to increase market valuation, family ownership has no significant effect, and a higher level of government ownership is found to reduce market valuation.

An Empirical Investigation from a Dyad PerspectiveWeber, Oliver Jacob (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In line with the concept of long-term relationships, as opposed to discrete exchanges, gaining acceptance amongst marketing researchers (e.g. Wilson, 1995; Ganesan, 1994; and Dwyer et al., 1987), the prevalent literature has increasingly emphasised the importance of cooperation between companies. As described in Selnes (1998), the objective of long-term relationships is to establish, maintain and enhance relations with trading partners at a profit. It is a dynamic process, whose success depends on the ability of companies to provide one another with episodes of value on a continuous basis. Definable as, "...similar or complementary coordinated action taken by firms in interdependent relationships to achieve mutual outcomes or singular outcomes with reciprocation over time" (Anderson and Narus, 1990, p. 45), cooperation between companies is viewed as an important foundation to the success of long-term relationships (Eriksson and Sharma, 2003). A joint effort based on coordination of activities thus permits companies to attain outcomes of mutual value otherwise not possible, e.g. exchange efficiency (Cannon and Perreault, 1999), decreased environmental uncertainty (Buvik and Grønhaug, 2000), and management of dependencies (Stern and El-Ansary, 1992)....

The tool is intended for training of university-level students, especially linguists training for a degree in speech technology, and visiting foreign students wanting to improve their spoken Danish. The TtT is operated through a simple wwwbased user-interface. Using the TtT requires basic skills in formal grammar-writing, but no knowledge on other aspects of artificial voice development such as phonetic-acoustic quantification, prosodic modelling, and signal generation.

Abstract: The paper examines how country tax differences affect a multinational enterprise's choice to centralize or de-centralize its decision structure. Within a simple model that emphasizes the multiple conflicting roles of transfer prices in MNEs – here, as a strategic pre-commitment device and a tax manipulation instrument –, we show that (de-)centralized decisions are more profitable when tax differentials are (small) large.

A Treatise on Modernity and NegationLarsen, Øjvind (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Modern global society has seen dramatic changes that throw us into impenetrable ethical problems of a kind never before witnessed in history. By this means, ethical problems constitute the locus of our confrontation with our own life situation. It is this condition that I take to be of fundamental importance when one undertakes to reflect upon the meaning of ethics today. If we approach the issue from the point of view of the history of ideas, we find that throughout the whole of the history of philosophy there have been a series of different attempts to articulate an ethics. Most of them address our concerns about how a human being ought to act in order to realise his or her life in the best or most correct way. I will return to the array of suggestions that have been offered in this regard. What is important for my purposes, meanwhile, is that there is some-thing that precedes ethical considerations, namely, the fact that ethics imposes itself upon the indi-vidual as a vital problem, and as one that cannot be escaped.

Experiences from IndiaSudhanshu, Rai (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper is an outcome of my experience as a team member of the Euro-India Innovation mapping project. The project set out to map India's IT Innovativeness over two years from January 2008-to December 2009. Here I bring to the fore the different methodologies that we reviewed in order to implement the innovation mapping project and our realization that each methodology in itself though useful may not be sufficient to address the complexity of the subject matter due to the vastness of India and its emerging nature. I outline some of the challenges faced by us when designing a methodology for mapping innovation in a large emerging economy. I discuss some solutions and report on how we solved the problem only to be faced with newer challenges. A methodological design is a challenging endeavor in the normal of time, when it comes to doing the same in a large emerging economy the problems becomes compounded. I highlight some of these problems and discuss some solutions in this paper. I conclude this paper with some insights proposing a mix methodology approach has been useful in addressing the challenges of data collection in emerging economies using our Indian experience as a backdrop to our findings.

Abstract: Based on an exploratory study of 138 firms this study analyzes the development within the field of Knowledge Management (KM) in Danish SMEs in the manufacturing industry. It is proposed that Danish SMEs do not (yet) have formalized knowledge structures, knowledge cultures, knowledge strategies, or knowledge systems in place. Hence, there could well be a large unexploited pool of knowledge assets in the SMEs. Empirical results verify the above propositions and suggestions to build or improve a knowledge process within the SME context are offered. The results of the study lead to challenges within different areas of KM that Danish SMEs face in the quest to stay competitive. Finally, the perspectives and the practical implications of a management orientation that can leverage knowledge advances and improve the types of knowledge that best fit innovative efforts and competitive strategies are also discussed.

Based on three case studies we argue that whereas small organizations often may chose adoption of OSS expecting significant cost savings, a major barrier for larger organizations' adoption of OSS lies in the organizations' consolidation of the enterprise architectures, in addition to that OSS will not be adopted before satisfactory delivery and procurement models for OSS are established. Keywords: Open Source Software, OSS, Enterprise Architecture, Total Cost of Ownership, Delivery and Procurement Model. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6490 Files in this item: 1
