The Role of LeadershipFoss, Nicolai; Stieglitz, Nils (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We draw on the complementarity literature in economics and management research to dimensionalize business models innovations. Specifically, such innovation can be dimensionalized in terms of the depth and the breadth of the changes to the company's business model that they imply. In turn, different business model innovations are associated with different management challenges and require different leadership interventions to become successful.

A Case of Kuhnian Lost ContentFoss, Kirsten; Foss, Nicolai (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Among the many seminal contributions of Ronald Coase, founding property rights economics is a truly major one. This approach impacted a number if fields in economics in particularly the 1960s and 1970s, but gradually lost influence. What is called property rights economics in modern economics, mainly originated by Oliver Hart, is very different from the original property rights economics of Coase, Demsetz, Alchian, Cheung, Umbeck, Barzel, etc. in terms of analytical style and explanatory scope. Based on our earlier work on the subject (Foss and Foss, 2001), we argue that the change from Mark I to Mark II property rights economics led to Kuhnian loss of content. This is related to the strong assumptions concerning the definition and enforcement of ownership rights made in the latter approach which leads to many real life institutions and governance arrangements being excluded from consideration.

The Supporting Role of Organizational DesignAhrensbach Rasmussen, Klement; Nicolai J., Foss (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Based on interviews in LEO Pharma, UCB Pharma and Novo Nordisk, we document how deep-seated changes in the pharmaceutical industry related to increasing demands from payers, the strengthening of the role of patients, changing legal demands, and declining technological opportunity, drive a process of experimenting with business model. We distinguish between three ideal types, namely a traditionalist model (exemplified by Novo Nordisk), the full-blown service-oriented model (UCB Pharma) and the in-between model (LEO Pharma). We describe the changes to the organizational design and management processes that accompany the ongoing process of changing business models in these firms.

Hoffmann Pii, Kathrine (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The patient-centred approach is expanding in the Danish healthcare system. This approach strives to organize treatment and care so that it takes departure in the individual patient's personal values, wishes and motivations. The intention behind the approach is to offer more effective and more ethical treatment and care. The patient-centred approach assigns to a great extent the responsibility for individuals' state of health and improvement to the individual patient. But what challenges does the approach pose for the professionals who work with it? In this thesis, I seek to explore the organizational and managerial problematics that the patient-centred approach implies in a case from the vascular specialty in the Danish healthcare system. The research question that I explore in the thesis is: How is preventive capacity and responsibility built and distributed in patient-centred prevention practices?

Towards Sustainable LawyeringHøedt-Rasmussen, Inger (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The role of the lawyer is in transition and the formerly predominantly homogeneous profes-sion has become a heterogeneous group of lawyers with diverging perceptions of the lawyer's identity and of the main characteristics of the profession. The European Union has extended the perception of democracy and the fundamental rights to include more collective rights, social concerns, global responsibility and sustainability. The dissertation's main question is: How can the identity and competences of lawyers be developed so that they can practise sustainable and proactive lawyering in the European Union? Theoretically as well as methodologically this research constitutes an interdisciplinary study, where legal science meets sociology and social learning theories. Identity development is perceived as a reflective project; there is a range of lifestyle choices which contribute to a composed but constantly shifting maintenance of self-identity in relation to democratic principles and the ideal of justice connected to the role of lawyers. The study builds on Anthony Giddens's structuration theory. This involves looking at how lawyers connect the questions 'What to do?' (societal level) and 'How to act?' (professional level) with 'Who to be?' (personal level). The study depicts a European identity ideal based on legal sources while empirical data from focus groups and individual interviews makes it possible to identify six different identities among Danish practising lawyers. It is possible to recognise the following identities: lawyer-businessman, lawyer-performer, lawyer-entrepreneur, lawyer-humanist, lawyer-integrator and lawyer-statesman. The fragmentation of the profession, with greater demand for specialist knowledge, in-creased individualisation and participation in new communities of practice, requires each lawyer to reflect on their identity and establish criteria for what, when and how they will use their lawyering skills. For this to succeed, lawyers' identities and competences will depend more on self-directed learning and individual learning plans, where the legal identity combines (global) societal responsibility with job satisfaction, authenticity and adherence to personal values.

An empirical analysis of science-industry collaboration in a pharmaceutical companyVedel, Jane Bjørn (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In recent years, the concept of 'strategic research' has played a prominent role in Danish public research policy. This thesis investigates how strategic research develops in a pharmaceutical company. Politicians and policy makers have tended to see science-industry collaboration as the main strategic tool for stimulating national growth and job creation. They have also anticipated that companies and politicians in the future will have an increasingly important role in specifying societal and industrial problems that can be solved through science-industry collaborations. Hence, strategic research is today closely associated with what is termed 'demand-driven innovation'. Science-industry collaboration has also attracted interest in industry, for instance, in pharmaceutical companies. However, here we find quite different ideas about strategic research and science-industry collaboration. Rather than representing a tool for providing short-term solutions, pharmaceutical companies have seen science-industry collaboration as a device for building long-term platforms of innovation. Arising from a curiosity concerning the differences between policy and corporate practices of strategic research, this thesis asks the following questions: What characterizes strategic research in a private company? Through which practices does strategic research (and science-industry collaboration) develop? What characterizes the management of strategic research?

Abstract: This dissertation provides a critical analysis of transparency in the context of organizing. The empirical material is based on qualitative studies of international cooperative organizations. The dissertation seeks to contribute to transparency and organizing scholarship by adopting a communication centred approach to explore the implications of pursuing ideals of transparency in organizational relationships. The dissertation is comprised of four papers each contributing to extant debates in organizational studies and transparency literature. The findings indicate that transparency, in contrast to being a solution for efficiency and democratic organizing, is a communicatively contested process which may lead to unintended consequences. The dissertation shows that transparency is performative: it can impact authority by de/legitimating action, shape the processes of organizational identity co-construction, and its intersection with new media technologies can create tensions. Thus, the dissertation questions instrumental tendencies which regard transparency as full disclosure, the opposite of secrecy, and a way to achieve a consistent organizational identity. The dissertation provides a framework of organizational transparency which underlines its negotiated, power-infused and paradoxical nature. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8916 Files in this item: 1

A Time Series Analysis of Institutional and Partisan EffectsCiti, Manuele (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The marginal involvement of the EU in redistributive policies and its limited fiscal resources have led to a lack of attention to the EU budget and its determinants. In this paper I analyse an original dataset containing yearly data on the main macrocategories of expenditure and how they have changed over the last three decades (1984-2013). Using time series analysis, I find that the ability to form winning coalitions in the Council, the ideological position of the co-legislators, and some 'structuring events' - like the adoption of the Multiannual Financial Framework and the accession of the cohesion countries - have a significant role in driving the process of budgetary reform.

Abstract: Island hører til verdens mikro-stater, som af FN er defineret som stater med mindre 1,5 million indbyggere. Rent faktisk er der i Island ca. 325.000 indbyggere, hvoraf ca. 200.000 bor i Reykjavik og forstæder til Reykjavik. Island blev en selvstændig stat i 1944 efter 565 års samhørighed med Danmark. Islands historie er en stærk integreret del af Nordens historie fra vikingetiden og frem til vor tid. Island har en veluddannet befolkning, og har indtil sammenbruddet af det finansielle system været kendetegnet af et højt bruttonationalprodukt per indbygger og af at være en rig velfærdsstat med stor global synlighed.

The paradox of the Danish and Irish Responses to the Financial CrisisCampbell, John L.; Hall, John (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper presents a paradox to the "Varieties of Capitalism" school of comparative political economy. Proponents of this approach typically describe Denmark as a coordinated market economy in which the state works with centralized corporatist institutions to coordinate economic activity. In contrast, Ireland is seen as a liberal market economy in which state intervention is limited and corporatism largely absent, with market forces dominating economic activity instead (Hall and Soskice 2001, p. 19; Soskice 2007). This leads one to expect that the Danish state would have shouldered the costs of rescuing the banking sector during the financial crisis, which began in 2008, while private actors in Ireland would have done so. Yet the opposite was true. Resolving this paradox requires attention to literatures that rarely speak to each other. The first concerns size. Katzenstein (1985) argued that small states are especially vulnerable due to their dependence on international trade and their need to navigate geopolitical seas dominated by larger states (see also Cameron 1978; Garrett 1998; Jones 2008). Fear concentrates minds whilst small size allows close linkages. There was an elective affinity between this situation and corporatism—defined best as a centralized system of interest groups, decision making through continous political bargaining between business, labor, the state, and political parties, and a national ideology of social partnership. Much has been written about the first two points (e.g., Becker and Schwartz 2005; Hemerijck et al. 2000; Ó Riain 2004; Schwartz 1994, 2001), but little about the ideology of social partnership.

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 Files in this item: 1

How Material Practices and their Symbolic and Physical Meanings Form a Colonising LogicLauesen, Linne Marie (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This PhD thesis is the outcome of three-year doctoral study of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholder engagement in the water sector. This study contributes to new knowledge about water companies formed as hybrid organisations in the aftermath of the new public management (NPM) era worldwide. Today we see different hybrid organisations of water companies around the world that have either been fully privatised or quasi-privatised. Quasiprivatisation in Denmark means that water utilities are still perceived as natural monopolies, which has not made them into for-profit driven companies. Instead a simulated market and state regulation has been introduces with annual, national benchmarking to set a price cap as an upper limit for the consumer-price of water. Similar systems are seen in fully privatised water companies in the United Kingdom, the United States, and partially in South Africa. However, here the water companies are typically owned by private companies and not established as municipalityowned limited liabilities1 as in Denmark and elsewhere in Scandinavia. This PhD thesis proposes new models and principles and corporate social responsibility and stakeholder engagement of these water companies. The findings of the study suggest a new definition of a colonising logic of CSR competing and coexisting with the regulators' colonising logic of NPM. Through the study and definition of these logics as colonising the water sector this PhD theisis provides an understand of new perspectives of how CSR is enacted through stakeholder engagement and how the logic of CSR frames the top managers' claim: "We are CSR!" (Interview B, March 2011) and the consequences of this logic. Both the logic of CSR and the logic of NPM is found to be based on the materials that the water companies are organised around, namely water. Water is perceived as a natural good that should ideally be free and plentiful for all citizens around the world. However, the competition between the two colonising logics stems from another material, namely the money or price that providing clean and pure water for all are allowed to cost the citizens. Through the dialectical interaction of these in terms of material practices between producing water and infrastructure to distribute it and collecting money as a payment for it and the regulation of this, this PhD thesis proposes a new definition of the role of materials and material practices underlying several institutional logics such as the institutional logic of capitalism, state, democracy, family, religion/science, profession, and corporation (Friedland & Alford, 1991; Thornton et al., 2012; Friedland, 2013).

Exploring the 'Black Whole' in Institutional TheoryJakobsen, Michael (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this article is to take a critical look at how to perceive informal institutions within institutional theory. Douglas North in his early works on institutional theory divided the national institutional framework into two main categories, formal and informal institution or constraints as he called them. The formal constraints consisted of political rules, judicial decisions and economic contracts, whereas informal constraints consisted of socially sanctioned norms of behaviour, which are embedded in culture and value systems. As formal constraints are straight forward to deal with the informal ones are much more vaguely defined and thus more difficult to grasp analytical. This imprecise perception of informal constraints is surprising as they basically constitute the foundation of the society in question, whereas formal constraints 'only' constitute the functional aspects of the state apparatus in that particular society. In order to, however, begin excavating what lies further behind the informal constraints and their impact on the functionality of the formal constraints it is important to take an overall critical look at the way in which institutional theory relate to a given societal context. This article suggest that this is done by first employing an overall international business (IB) approach to analyse a national economy, in this case the Malaysian economy. This will not, however, be done according to the generally accepted procedure in IB studies using either a firm specific or a generic market-based approach, but rather by employing a combination of selected IB theories and a 'glocalised reading' on how the relationship between the global economy and a national economy pan out and how this translate into impacting a given societal setup. In other words, IB theories are not only employed in the economic sphere, but also confronted with a variety of societal factors that have a positive or negative impact on the explanatory power of the individual IB theories employed.

Moreira, Solon (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Licensing contracts represent one of the most widely used mechanisms to exchange technologies and transfer know-how between firms. Due to the opportunities that licensing creates for firms operating on both sides of the markets for technology, it has increasingly become an integral part of firms' R&D strategies. On the supply side, the existing literature has been focused on understanding how technology licensing can be used by firms as a mechanism to recover investments in innovative activities and to foster learning opportunities. On the demand side, it has been shown that licensing is an important source that firms can tap into to feed their internal needs for innovative knowledge. While several studies have examined technology licensing through the lens of the licensor, research on how firms rely on licensing contracts to acquire knowledge and improve their innovation performance still leaves much to be investigated. Furthermore, with few exceptions, neither organizational nor contractual characteristics related to the licensing deals have received enough attention as determinants of the capacity of the acquiring firm to benefit from licensing in a new technology. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the relationship between technology licensing and firm innovation, also examining how the characteristics of the acquiring firm and the use of specific contractual clauses affect this main relationship. The papers in this dissertation build on a different set of theoretical perspectives connected to the licensing literature. The dissertation consists of a general introduction, four papers, and a conclusion. Although all the papers build on the same main dataset related to licensing contracts in the global pharmaceutical industry, supplementary information from different data sources was connected to the licensing contracts to answer the specific research questions. Indeed, each paper, from a different perspective, contemplates and contributes to the existing literature by examining the relationship between technology licensing and specific dimensions of firm innovation. Understanding how licensing deals affect the performance of licensees and licensors is critical to understanding how markets for technology function.

Abstract: (1) The essence of Yin-Yang is that yin and yang are contrary yet complementary. 阴阳的本质是阴阳是相生相克的关系。 (2) This contrary yet complementary relationship can be described by three characteristics of Yin-Yang: nonexclusivability, transformability, and coopetitionability. Nonexclusivability means that anything contains yin and yang elements and neither yin nor yang elements can be excluded because within both elements there is a seed of the opposite element. Due to the existence of a seed of the opposite element, the yin and yang elements can be mutually transformed when the opposite seed grow to a certain size. Due to this possible growth of the inside opposite element, the relationship between yin and yang and their inside opposite element is one of competition and cooperation, i.e. coopetition. When the configuration ratio of an element's opposite seed is within the range of 1% to 25%1, their relationship is more co-operative than competitive, and therefore there is more synergy than tradeoff between them. The closer the ratio is to 25%, the stronger the synergy. When the ratio is within the range of 25% to 49%, their relationship is more competitive than cooperative, and therefore there is more tradeoff than synergy between them. The closer the ratio is to 49%, the stronger the tradeoff. 阴阳的相生相克关系可以描述为三个特性:不可排除性、相互转化性、竞 争合作性。不可排除性是指任何事物都包含阴阳两个对立元素,二者之任 何一个均不可能被排除在我,这是因为在阴或阳元素内部天然的包含着对 立元素的种子。正是因为这个种子的天然存在,阴和阳元素可以互相转 化,这种转化发生在对立元素种子成长到一定程度的时候。正是由于这种 对立元素的成长可能性,阴或阳元素和它内部的对立元素之间的关系是既 竞争又合作的。当内部的对立元素占总体元素的力量比例在1%到25%之 间时,两者的关系是合作多于竞争,越靠近25%这个点,这种合作的协同 效果也强烈。当这个搭配比例处于25%到49%之间时,它们的关系将是 竞争多于合作,也就是他们更多互相排斥而非互相促进。当这个比例越靠 近49%,这种排斥效应越强烈。 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8891 Files in this item: 1

A Comparative Study of Four European SolutionsKazan, Erol; Damsgaard, Jan (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper focuses on the triumph march of mobile phones that currently are annexing music players, navigation devices, and cameras as separate physical objects. The next target is set on payment. Through synthesizing available literature, we construct a framework for studying digital payment platforms that combines platform, technology and business design aspects. The framework is applied to conduct a comparative case study of digital payment platforms. Four types of market actors are considered: banks, mobile network operators, merchants, and startups, which are incumbents and disrupters in the payment industry. These actors issue four types of payment systems, and we can observe that three of four platforms types can be classified as multi-sided platforms (MSP). All alternatives seek foothold by issuing evolutionary payment instruments, which are intertwined with digital payment platforms. By hosting third-party services, payment instruments are evolving from single-purpose to multi-functional ones. Our research extends existing payment literature from the MSP perspective to emphasize certain digital payment platform components, which impact strategies and complementary products.

Why Central Management Should Rely on Peripheral SensingPedersen, Carsten (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In dynamic environments, competitive advantage lies in developing useful knowledge from continuous streams of unstructured and ambiguous data. Frontline employees and certain groups of customers are often the first to sense emerging issues of strate-gic importance due to their experiential insights of the firm's daily operations. Yet, they are rarely asked to provide updated information about critical issues. The present paper seeks to conceptually develop the notion of responsive innovation, by drawing on literary streams concerning collective sensing, strategic issue diagnosis and integra-tive strategy within a micro foundations perspective. It is posited that companies should root their innovation processes in the collective sensing of frontline-employees and customers that operate around the organizational periphery. This frames the con-cept of responsive innovation, where individuals engaged in the firm's ongoing busi-ness activities collectively identify issues that central managers can resolve.

I know she can get her good china only at Ross-Simons.com, but I would like to check other china sites. I think I read of some on this site a year ago, but now I forget. One had "paris" in the name. Anyone have internet china site suggestions? Thanks. |

Glow-On gun sights paint has certainly helped thousands and thousands already. That fact cannot be overlooked.
There's definitively a spot for this type of product, Glow-On having the point position.
Its a matter of perspective, think of it this way:
Look a t the photo below.
In the USA a vast majority of gun enthusiasts own at least that number of pieces.
-Now imagine the same photo, but all the firearms with the original white dots or, bare metal....
-If you decided to retrofit those firearms with tritium, how much would you spend? $$$$...
Put together, its the most affordable upgrade you can make to your firearm.
Added to that the vast amount of plain iron sights out there...
A good deal for a fair price:D
Is it perfect? Of course not, but if you happen to push thru low light course at your local range, Glow-On will not disappoint.

2013 Equity Incentive Plan; Options Exchange; Stock Repurchase Program
On March 4, 2013, CTC Media's Board of Directors approved the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by the stockholders on April 30, 2013, at the 2013 annual general meeting. The Plan provides for the grant of a variety of forms of awards to acquire up to an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board has approved an initial round of awards to the Company's employees to acquire up to 2.0 million shares of common stock. Option awards will entitle the grantees to receive shares of common stock, at no cost, upon the satisfaction of performance-based vesting conditions over a period of three years from grant, which will become exercisable on a staggered basis over a period of four years from grant. Exercise will be subject to the condition that the closing price of the Company's common stock has exceeded $12.00 per share on at least ten trading days prior to exercise.
As a condition to the receipt of an award under the Plan, any employee who holds an outstanding option award under the Company's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan will be required to forfeit the unvested portion of such award; the vested portion of outstanding option awards will remain unaffected by the new program.
In addition, on March 4, 2013 the Board of Directors approved an open market stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company will repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of Common Stock in the market for use under the Plan. The Company expects to launch the repurchase program during the current quarter and to enter into a structured trading plan with a broker covering sales through March 3, 2014.
Changes in Reportable Segments Historically, CTC Media had eight reportable segments: CTC Network, Domashny Network, Peretz Network, CTC Television Station Group, Domashny Television Station Group, Peretz Television Station Group, CIS Group and Production Group. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company changed its reportable segments following the reorganization of reporting financial information to make operating decisions. CTC Media's management and Board of Directors currently evaluate and manage the performance of the Group and make operational decisions based primarily on its three Russian television channels (CTC, Domashny and Peretz) and Channel 31 in Kazakhstan. Each channel includes the operating results of its network, which is responsible for broadcasting operations, sales of the networks' advertising, licensing and commissioning of programming, producing its programming schedule, managing its relationships with its independent affiliates; as well as managing the respective owned-and-operated stations that distribute the network's signal. Each channel is also allocated the internal margin on programming acquired from the Company's in-house production company. The Company's other less material operating segments comprise CTC-International, administrative costs of our in-house production unit and digital media operations, which are included along with the Group headquarters operations in the Group's segment information as "All Other" segment.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Royal Pines Golf
Play the Course
RACV Royal Pines Resort operates a 27 hole composite golf course with 3 x PAR 72, 18 hole combinations (Gold, Green and Blue).
The Course Design and Environment
The major revamp of the existing Australian PGA Championship and Australian Volvik Ladies Masters tournament layout is now building momentum as the first stages of the refurbishments are due to finish in time for Decembers PGA Championship event.
The course, following the 2 year 27 hole refurbishment, designed by Graham Marsh, will see the grasses being improved to Winter Green on areas other than the greens and the highly regarded TifEagle replacing the original Bermuda 328 grass on the greens.
The complexity of works includes the neutralising of the acid sulfate soils in order that their necessary disturbance during earthworks will not impact environmentally on the adjoining waterways.
RACV Royal Pines Resorts championship layout provides three challenging 18 hole course combinations, with undulating terrain and magnificent greens in a lush tropical setting.
Australian PGA Championship
RACV, in partnership with the PGA of Australia, will host the Australian PGA Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort for the next five years. In November 2013 we saw Gold Coaster Adam Scott win the tournament by four shots from American Rickie Fowler, with a final score of 14 under par. This year the event will be held from the 11th until the 14th of December.

Brooklyn is a hub for the art community. Music, theater and the literati abound in this artistic borough of New York.

The music, the food and the well-traveled, much cultured crowd make this venue a hot spot.
This chic but homey Park Slope bar has fast become "the" place for local gay men to meet a geographically compatible gal or guy. The stylish, deco-inspired interior makes for a relaxed time, and there is also a very charming garden in back. The crowd, much like the rest of the neighborhood, is very gentrified, but with a touch of the bohemian still evident. The highly efficient bartenders have garnered quite a following. Open daily till 4 am.

Charged off accounts are often bought up for pennies on the dollar before the SOL is up and sued on. If the collection agency sues you and obtains a judgment, they can enforce the judgment by levying on your property or wages, subject to certain restrictions depending on what state you are in.
In NY, a judgment can be collected on for 10 years, and at the end of the ten yr period, it can be renewed for another 10. So the period of collection on a judgment usually ends up being 20 years. This is why you never want to ignore a lawsuit, even if you owe the debt and have no excuse for not paying it.

reviews & comments (13)
Perfect in it's own simplicity. Some tender baby kale looked appetizing at the store so I used that instead of arugula. Tasted wonderful.
Loved the croutons (and will definitely make them again), but the dressing was awfully plain for a 4-fork "Exceptional" rating.
I made this salad exactly as described and it is absolutely delicious. I have made it about twice a week every week since I discovered it. Highly recommended. Note: use good parmesan; it really helps!
I made this exactly as in the recipe and it was excellent. My family loved it and I am planning for it to be a regular salad at our house.
This is by far the EASIEST salad to make. You'd think because it's so simple that it wouldn't be this outstanding, but it's the blend of lemon, garlic and parm that work so well with the arugula. I am making this one tonight for my significant who doesn't like veggies, but likes arugula :)
This is really a great salad. The croutons are wonderful. Everything can be made ahead an assembled just before survig. Make this over and over, such a crowd pleaser.
Simple and delicious. Omitted the croutons and substituted sgaved almonds. Rave reviews.

"SFC was the best experience in my life. I learned how to be the best I could be and I'll cherish my experiences forever."

Franciscan Education - 150 Years of Service in Brooklyn
Around the year 1224, St. Francis of Assisi gave permission to a young and learned Brother, St. Anthony of Padua, to teach theology to the Brothers "as long as such study did not extinguish the spirit of prayer and devotion." In the century that followed, a "Franciscan School" of scholars developed a Christ-centered theology and philosophy based on the life and teachings of St. Francis. The outstanding Franciscan scholars of that period are St. Bonaventure and Blessed John Duns Scotus. They followed the intentions of St. Francis that learning be placed at the service of living as Christ did; in other words, the quest for knowledge was not to be an end in itself, but a quest to live more authentically within oneself and morally within the world community.
In the early nineteenth century, Franciscan Brothers in Ireland began schools for poor and ordinary people. Following that spirit, Brothers came to Brooklyn in 1858 to educate the large numbers of immigrants arriving in America. Those Brothers opened St. Francis Academy in 1859. The institution officially became St. Francis College in 1884 when New York State granted the school a charter. Since opening its doors, the College has been committed to the Franciscan tradition of service and development of the whole person. Study of the liberal arts, combined with career preparation in specific fields of study, remains a means of following the quest for truth and personal authenticity. This is the Franciscan Spirit that leads our students to take their place in the world as ethical persons committed to nurturing the Divine goodness within every human being and all that God has created.
The Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn have been serving the Church in New York for nearly 150 years. Learn more about the life and work of the Franciscan Brothers.
