Azim Premji, Chairman of Wipro Ltd., pledged on Tuesday to contribute more to philanthropy. Mr. Premji, who donated 8.7 per cent of the Wipro stock in 2010 — valued then at $2 billion — to the Azim Premji Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the company, said he would contribute to the growth of the Foundation.
"I strongly believe that those of us, who are privileged to have wealth, should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged," Mr. Premji said in a statement.
He said the workforce of the foundation, which employs about 800 persons across the country, would be "scaled up" to 4,000-5,000 people in about five years.
He said the foundation, which was focussed on promoting education, particularly at the primary school level, but which also funds the Azim Premji University, is aimed at providing opportunities to the "disadvantaged".
Referring to the recasting of the management of the company, Mr. Premji said: "The developments of the past two years have given me confidence in our institutional strategy," he said.
However, even as the company went ahead with the changes, Mr. Premji said, he was "committed to transferring more of my wealth to scale up the Endowment of the Foundation."
Mr. Premji, who took over the family business in 1966 following his father's death, recalled the "significant influence" his mother had in shaping his attitude to philanthropy. Despite being a medical doctor, she chose to help build and run for 50 years a charitable hospital for children afflicted by polio and cerebral palsy, in Mumbai.

In later years I have taken to wondering when the holiday season would end for me and the Christmas season begin. As the one has grown longer the other has grown shorter. This year, perhaps at the request of Henry Paulson, perhaps because it has been the pull of the tide for a couple of generations, perhaps just because people were panicking everywhere, they started the holiday in Maplewood before the squirrels had finished off the jack o lanterns. By the Saturday before Black Friday the Bagel Chateau had moved the dial over to Lite FM, always accommodating when it comes to holiday drool, and I knew that the time had arrived to shut down my ears and grinch out.
So here I was weeks later, sitting by the window, and looking out past my wife's shoulder at the mix of snow, ice, slush, sand and salt that was calculated to ruin the town's holiday plans for the day. The ride in the horse drawn wagon had been last Saturday's festivity. Today's entertainment was slated to be the petting zoo but it wasn't appearing too likely at that moment.
Then I heard the music. As the weeks went by, I had been enjoying a near perfect immunity to Lite FM seasonal fare but suddenly it was there. It could not to be ignored. It wormed through the door with all its insipidly false bonhomie: Holly Jolly Christmas.
I said to my wife, "Burt Lahr, right."
She said "No, he's the lion. Burl Ives."
That was when the Christmas Season began for me this year because I started thinking about how Christmas has survived the devilish mix of nonsense the western world has been heaping on it for about 150 years. If it can get any worse than 2008 Mall America with its perpetual side bar over cribs in the town square I don't know how.
There is a famous, and disputed, story from the annals of the Great War, World War I, the War to End All Wars, Woodrow Wilson's War to Save Democracy, call it what you will. It is a mystery to me how any of these names does justice to 20 million dead but those are the choices history has given us.
As the story goes, with most of the carnage still ahead, elements of the British and German armies were faced off across a "no man's land" in a small hilly part of Belgium called the Ypres Salient. On Christmas Eve 1914 a couple of hundred troops from either side, maybe a few more, decided to call the war off. They fraternized. They were told never to do it again. They didn't.
Subsequently much has been made of the story, sentimental and not so sentimental. The sentimental has to do with how the spirit of christmas without jesus could save the world if we could only harness it, like Santa Claus has his reindeer. William Butler Yeats had the more clear sighted vision of that spirit in harness and he saw a Beast slouching across the century towards Bethlehem.
The story of the Christmas Truce at the Ypres Salient says to me that there is a "still point at the center of the turning world." T S Eliot described it; he did not create it. The fraternal moment between warring troops was just such a still point, a gift of God which was returned before the year was out. Nevertheless there it was, a part of the story.
Just like this baby boy Jesus was born in a crib of straw in a field somewhere to the amazement of a bunch of shepherds. It happened. A glimmer of light. So there it is, a part of the story.
'Do you see it?'
'See what?'
'I think so.'

Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Zahir Azimi said the reinforcements came from religious schools in Pakistan that had been closed down.
"Based on our information, Taliban has closed all its religious Madrasas in Pakistan and Taliban has deployed all its fighters in Afghanistan to carry out insurgency and suicide attacks," Azimi said last week in Kabul.
The recent fighting included an uptick in attacks in the Kabul area, Khaama Press reported.
The summer offensive has resulted in casualties on both sides. The ministry said Sunday the national army lost more than 100 soldiers in the current Afghan month. The Taliban lost 443 fighters with 581 others wounded or captured.

Is Britney back? I give props to Britney for still trying to be the entertainer; clearly people have this Britney obsession. After her immaculate choke at the 2007 MTV Video Awards, people are either praying for her to fall off a cliff or rise out of the ashes like a phoenix (In her case growing out of the baldness.) The latest single �Womanizer� is the first off her new record �Circus� due to drop December 2nd 2008 the same day as her birthday, Britney�s pulling a Beyonce! I will review the LP just for ya�ll, you know all of you want to know.
Interested in hearing what her new material would sound like, her last LP �Blackout� didn�t even grab my attention; it was better than some extreme garbage pop floating but still wasn�t worth my time or yours. When I heard �Womanizer� I couldn�t help but think I�ve heard this before, indeed I have! Britney�s �Blackout� album has a tune titled �Ooh Ooh Baby� it has the exact same beat and melody as �Womanizer� also twin to the Pink Panther theme song.
The tune was produced by up and coming Atlanta producers The Outsyders who did an alright job but if she really wanted recycled tunes why not hit up Max Martin for the rerun? The only differences in the tunes are the intros and slight variations in the vocal arrangements during the chorus and hook. The verses are pretty much doppelgangers, I am sure even a deaf person can hear the blatant similitude. The vocals are decent, contrived at times nothing too spectacular, of course there aren�t any Mariah runs but she�s never been a Mariah, more of a Madonna.
Lyrically speaking the most clever bit is �Lollipop, must mistake me of a sucker / To think that I would be a victim of another / Say it, play it how you want it / But no way, I'm never gonna fall for you, never you baby.� Plenty of repetition in the track, focusing more on the
hook and chorus until it has accomplished drilling the infection into your system. Candy coated rain drops this is pop, skimming the surface as to what a womanizer really is, no deeper meaning in the lyrics but this is Britney Spears we are talking about, you know �Baby One More Time� and �Oops I Did it Again� were so profound.
Is Britney back? Not at the moment, she�s still out to lunch. We�ll see what �Circus' brings and then decide because if they think this tune is the answer that will refresh her career, who lied to her and them? --

Emogrifier - Convert HTML & CSS into gmail friendly emails
Hello all.
I wanted to let everyone know about a free / open source utility we
recently launched called the Emogrifier. I'm sure most of us have
struggled with getting HTML emails to display properly in gmail. We
recently had to tackle this issue with one of our web apps, so we
thought we'd share the solution with other designers and developers.
This utility merges HTML and CSS into one document using inline styles
that gmail and other strict web-based email clients can understand. Now
you can produce your emails using a clean seperation of content and
style and merge the two just before sending it.
Check it out at http://www.emogrifier.com/

Tonight I'm going to Wolf Trap, one of the coolest venues ever, to see Ben Folds, Guster and Rufus Wainwright. One concertgoing curiosity I've always had - who is that dude that always screams "Freebird" between songs? Is it one guy who does nothing but travel from place to place, turning up at concerts all over the world? Or is there some type of "Freebird" representation system where one person is chosen for each show? I mean, look, everyone at concerts claps, some scream and there are usually a bunch of people holding lighters above their heads... but there's only one poor bastard who screams "Freebird" at the top of his lungs on any given night. I've made a decision - tonight is my night. I'm going to be the "Freebird" guy.
Posted by Chris at June 29, 2004 3:06 PMI love Ben Folds, I'm intensly jealous.
Posted by: Oliquig at June 29, 2004 3:29 PMguster!!!!
Posted by: laura at June 29, 2004 3:32 PM*sigh* i love guster. i'm trying to get my boyfriend into them, because he loves better than ezra and i feel they're kind of similar. i saw guster at 9:30 club once. great show.
as for "freebird," i don't know, but i hear it sometimes. i wonder if any band has been like, "okay, someone yelled for 'freebird,' let's play it" and just busted out with "freebird" right there.
Posted by: rachel at June 29, 2004 3:37 PMWhen I saw the Allman Bros in 99, we had a "Whipping Post" guy who screamed it between every song. They did NOT play it (I was glad, kinda cliche), but even 45 minutes after the last song, when the crowd as at least half gone, dude was still screaming
Yeah. I was wishing for the Freebird guy that night. Oh - and I'm in Alabama, so can you imagine how many "Freebird" guys we have here? And can you imagine how many times the band WILL play Freebird? Yeah - its obscene. I hate that damn song now.
Jeez. Long ass comment Zoot - shut the hell up already.
Posted by: Zoot at June 29, 2004 3:54 PMHate, hate, HATE you. First Gary K, and now Ben Folds? Who I loave so? While I'm at home fighting multiple infections and watching a bazillion episodes of M*A*S*H?
Karmic anvils, I swear.
Posted by: amalah at June 29, 2004 3:54 PMI don't think there is a Freebird system. I think it just magically works itself out.
Posted by: Fraulein N at June 29, 2004 4:05 PMheh I have a friend who always shouts out "Play some Skynyrd" whenever he sees a live band.
But I do it right back to him, when he's up there, so it evens out.
Posted by: pie at June 29, 2004 4:06 PMI'll be there too, so if you are the Freebird guy tonight, I'll know who to look for and give the evil eye! I'm looking forward to the show, most definitely. And my daughter hates me because I'm going, and she's babysitting her brother.
Posted by: Lisa at June 29, 2004 4:12 PMYours is the second blog I've read this on, I can't remember who else is going, I'll have to think where I saw that (and it's not the Lisa above). Have fun! We call Rufus "Wufus Wainwite" here, it's mildly amusing to say.
Posted by: Busy Mom at June 29, 2004 5:01 PMvery very jealous... no one i know wanted to go with me to boston to see them... i know i could have gone by myself, which i have done in the past, but going alone as well as the steep price of the tickets (although probably value for money) means that i will have to liuve vicariously through good people like yourself.
Posted by: chlamygirl at June 29, 2004 5:34 PMGuster rocks!
Have a good one!
Please, whatever you do, DON'T be that guy.
Posted by: Kristi at June 29, 2004 8:25 PMCuriously enough, I think the "Freebird Guy" was at a KMFDM concert I went to years ago. I think he must have confused his venues and,judging by the look on peoples faces, was about to regret that mistake.
Posted by: Geezitron at June 29, 2004 11:21 PMHey...that "freebird" guy frequents shows in CA and NV I can personally vouch for it. Damn that guy gets around.
Posted by: Amy at June 29, 2004 11:46 PMyou lucky lucky boy! Can I ride along?
Posted by: Amber at June 30, 2004 7:18 AMalright alright I'll admit it. It's me. I'm the freebird gal. Sure the voice seems deep in the concert hall -that's the acoustics.
NOT! LOL. Maybe they are yelling it 'cause some band gave in and played it once at some concert they were at. Who knows why crazy people do things?
Posted by: HR Lady at June 30, 2004 8:48 AMI've heard good things about Guster, but have never seen or heard them. I'm jealous.
Also, I've never been at a show where someone screams "Freebird." Kids these days, eh?
Posted by: Dawnie at June 30, 2004 9:01 AMI do not know if you trust me, hence, I will revalue your fantastic notes connecting to this good post. Before this I did use the help at freelance writers .
Posted by: bg35Lucy at January 6, 2010 1:29 AMWe think, you could take the article submission for your story close to this post, because that seems to be really superb and has not to be hidden from all people!

Released: Dec 01st, 1988
Running Time: 85
Director: Val Rosen
Company: Lipstik Video
Megan Leigh, Tiffany Storm, Stephanie Rage, Jessica Longe, Gail Force, Frankie Leigh, Rene Bliss (Morgan)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Lipstik Video consistently puts out some of the best all-girl features on the market, and Inner Pink will certainly delight an audience that thrives on soft textures, gentle caresses and crackling fireplaces that are the hallmarks of these femme scenarios.
Stephanie Rage and Jessica Longe are "sisters" who have come to terms with their preferences for non-male companionship, particularly after Longe goes into this ecclesiastical explanation of her motives for letting her ex-husband take the A-train. The action centers on Jessica as she masturbates, talks on the phone and reminisces about delights with former school chums. Flashback: Frankie Leigh by the fireplace with crackling logs that sound like a thousand gum snappers on Hollywood Boulevard. Lots of engaging fanny slaps and luscious multi-girl scenes, too. Sensuous, provocative boxcover.

AFI Honors "Art And Farts" Of American Film With Laugh-Filled Mel Brooks Tribute
It was completely appropriate that AFI's 41st Life Achievement Award honoree Mel Brooks made his entrance at the Dolby Theatre to the Steven Sondheim song, "Comedy Tonight". It set the tone immediately for a very different evening than any that had come before at this annual event. Look at the list of the 40 previous AFI honorees, and there's not a single solely comedic filmmaker or actor in the whole bunch. Yes, there are some — like Billy Wilder, Mike Nichols, Shirley MacLaine and Tom Hanks — who have made a few classic comedies but no one whose whole screen career is built on laughs. The AFI finally corrected that glaring omission Thursday night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight the American Film Institute honors the art — and the farts — of American film," said AFI Board Of Trustees Chair Sir Howard Stringer in welcoming the star-studded crowd. "When I telephoned Mel to tell him the AFI had voted him in as the 2013 recipient, he responded instantly, 'What took you so long?' Fair enough. Comedy is routinely short-changed at many awards ceremonies , particularly the Oscars. It is often said comedy is harder than drama because funny is like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. That makes Mel, without question, Hollywood's principal lightning conductor."
I have been to many of these AFI nights, but I rarely remember so much warmth in the room, and this one definitely had the funniest speeches. Maybe Hollywood needed a laugh. And the crowd got several with expertly chosen clips from such Mel classics as The Producers, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles (Stringer's "farts" reference was to the famous campfire bean scene shown in its entirety), Spaceballs, High Anxiety, Silent Movie and on and on. There also was a very short clip from his more obscure second directorial outing, 1970's The Twelve Chairs. When I talked to Mel as he ate his dinner (just before Martin Short and a group of dancers took the stage singing a number from the Broadway musical version of The Producers to start the main presentation), I told him that of all his movies, the one I really loved most was that little gem, Twelve Chairs. "Thank you so much for saying that. That is my favorite of all my films," he told me. "I am so happy because I just learned Turner Classic Movies has contracted it for a six-month run for the first time, so more people will be able to see it now." He clearly also was excited to be the center of attention on this night as he sat at the table of honor with family and longtime friend and partner in the "2000-Year-Old Man" routines, Carl Reiner.
Incidentally this is the first year of a new TV deal for the AFI Life Achievement Award event. It will air this month on TNT and TBS and then as part of a yearlong run on TCM along with a package of Brooks' movies. AFI CEO and President Bob Gazzale told me this is the ideal home for the show and they have signed a three-year deal with the Turner networks. AFI Board member Rich Ross of Shine told me before the show that the selection of Brooks was unanimous and a perfect choice for the first of the Turner shows. At the post-party, Stringer told me it was an obvious choice and was so happy they finally got to honor to a true comic legend. As he said in those opening remarks, "Hopefully it starts a trend." Gazzale told me the response was so strong that contemporary comedy talents including Zach Galifianakis, Seth Rogen and Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to attend even though they weren't part of the tribute.
In his opening remarks, Gazzale drew big laughs as he said: "Early in the planning for this night, the phone rings. 'Gazzale,' he says, 'Italian or Jew?' Clearly disappointed that I even answered at all, he made me an honorary Jew with a deadline of tonight. So, Mel, as I begin my exodus back to goyville I say to you mazel tov and thank you."
A long line of stars paid tribute both in person and on tape, but thankfully the night stopped short of turning into a Friars roast. There was more an air of love and respect in the room. And laughs, of course. "If Mel Brooks tells you you're funny — it's almost as good as Woody Allen telling you you're funny," Short said to kick things off. Allen, who worked with Mel as a writer on the classic '50s TV series You Show Of Shows, actually was featured quite a bit in taped interview segments extolling the genius of his friend. Of course Allen is another comic legend who could, and should, be the recipient of this award. But he would never show up — and that's a requirement.
Billy Crystal paid tribute to Brooks by praising him as the inspiration to his whole career. "The 2000-Year-Old Man comedy album came out two weeks before my Bar Mitzvah, and I devoured it. I knew it backwards and forwards. I didn't want to be a Yankee anymore. I wanted to be Mel Brooks. At my Bar Mitzvah, instead of a yarmulke I wore a big black hat and a cape. I stood next to my rabbi and read from the ancient sacred Torah. The rabbi was a little ancient himself, and in the middle I just stopped and said: 'You know I was there when they wrote this. I used to play handball with the prophets.' This was 1961. It was Mel who made me want to be a comedian," he said.
Reiner in his brief toast said, "I would like to acknowledge three people who early on knew Mel Brooks was one of the funniest people in the world: Sid Caesar, me and Mel Brooks." Sarah Silverman came on to say, "Mel, you have been friends with Carl Reiner for over 50 years, which makes it clear you are unable to make new friends. Finally a lifetime achievement award for Mel Brooks. Wow. What an elegant way to say, 'Hey, let's wrap it up,' " she said.
Some past AFI honorees including Clint Eastwood (on tape) and Morgan Freeman and Robert De Niro in person also got their moment to toast Mel. "I got the AFI award in 2003, when it still meant something," joked De Niro. Frequent Brooks co-star Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety) got one of the biggest laughs of the night when she talked about her Academy Award. "As you may know, I won an Oscar in 1971 for The Last Picture Show. I started working with Mel a year later, and I haven't won one since. Not even a nomination. But life is too short to be bitter. Face it, Mel, we are old. Not as old as Carl!"
Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Cary Elwes, Larry David, Gene Wilder (on tape) and David Lynch — who Brooks hired to direct The Elephant Man for his Brooksfilm production company — spoke as well. And Amy Poehler also scored, even though she has no history with Brooks and said she thought they were honoring Mel B. of Spice Girls. But she touched hearts with this line, "My wish is that every man in the audience tonight feel half as funny as Mel Brooks and every woman in the audience feel as loved and be as loved as much as he loves Anne," a reference to his late wife Anne Bancroft, whose presence was strongly felt in the room and on screen, particularly in a musical clip from To Be Or Not To Be.
Finally, 1997 AFI honoree Martin Scorsese presented him with the prestigious award. "Mel has made his own tradition of greatness," he said. "In Mel's films, all bets are off. The boundaries of what's funny or what isn't kind of fade away or tumble like that sheet that was falling in It Happened One Night." He said as the 86-year-old Brooks bounced to the stage: "Mel has made his own comedy his own way and reminded us yet again what it is all too easy to forget: You can be a great filmmaker just for laughs."
Then Brooks took over. "Normally I don't agree with AFI's choices. Tonight I kind of do," he said in the middle of a riff about the food and some of the people in the room. "Movies saved my life and rescued my soul. I thank the AFI for giving this to me," he added before pulling off one final pure Mel Brooksian moment by noting that the previous year's AFI honoree usually has to come back and toast the new honoree. But he said he didn't want to have to get back into a tux "with the red handkerchief" and sit through this again next year, so he led the crowd in "pre-emptively" toasting next year's (as-yet unchosen) honoree. "He or she is a remarkable person. I've known him or her for over 20 years, and he or she is the only person that I've never been jealous of because when someone is truly talented you just have to salute it. Here's to you for a well deserved award and to the AFI , you finally got it right!" he said.
Leave it to Mel Brooks to send up the whole event and get the last laugh. In his case, AFI, you really did get it right.
I loved the event. Yeah AFI! I thought the whole thing was touching and funny, aside from Jimmy Kimmel. He made a joke about Mel Brooks almost being dead and said, "Rest in Peace." Even from the nose-bleed section I could tell that was just plain rude. Poor Mel had to keep laughing cause the cameras were on him. Conan O'Brien was so much classier.
I agree. Kimmel was stupid and he also made a rape comment that bombed. The man is not funny and I hope for his own sake they edit that out.
If Jimmy Kimmel Ever Spends Any Time In Prison, He'll Find Out Why Rape Jokes Aren't That Funny.
Great!Mel Brooks,Congratulations!
Thanks for all the laughs, Mr. Brooks!
I only wish Gene Wilder had been there in person. Even though his pre-recorded speech was 20-30 seconds long it was the most emotional and compelling one of the night.
Mel Brooks is and always will be one of my heroes.
But AFI has honored cinematic jokes.
This is the season of the Mel.
Mel Brooks is one of my heroes. A well deserved award.
No-one pointed out that yesterday, June 6, was the anniversary of Anne Bancroft's passing. I was fortunate to meet her briefly and I shared how 84 Charing Cross Road was a favorite of mine . . . her reply "yes, that was a good one wasn't it?". She was a lovely, gracious lady.
Unlike the brains of politicians, terrorists and military leaders, Mel Brooks' productions are intentionally and hilariously stupid. His ability to reduce historical monsters to their true idiot identities, such as with "Springtime For Hitler" and "The Inquisition", is true genius. Mel, this wounded world needs you, so please keep doing it for another 86 years.
Yeah MEL so much better than boring Morgan who cannot even speak
what talent and wit you have – such a solid talent -
Why is Morgan such a B O R E ??
but loves the ladies

AMC reports a big quarterly drop in revenue and earnings
AMC Entertainment Holdings, an operator of 4,968 movie screens, reported Wednesday that total revenue for the three months that ended June 30 was $726.6 million, compared with $762.7 million for the same quarter a year earlier.
The Leawood-based company said ticket revenue accounted for $478.7 million in the second quarter, compared with $515.3 million for the second quarter of 2013.
Food and beverage revenue was $211.6 million for the quarter, compared with $219.5 million in the same period a year earlier. But AMC noted that per-patron concession revenue grew 4.5 percent to $4.22, the highest figure in the company's history.
Gerry Lopez, AMC's president and chief executive, attributed that revenue increase to "enhanced food and beverage initiatives" at the theaters.
Net earnings were $31.4 million for the quarter, compared with $61.6 million a year earlier.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, dividends and amortization were $131.8 million, compared with $134.7 million for the quarter a year ago.
Lopez said the company is "building momentum behind our continuing transformation of the AMC guest experience," a reference to upgrading theater seating, sound, projection and food experiences.
He also cited the company's new open source Internet ticketing program as an asset that has produced a 45 percent increase in online ticket revenue this year. He said about 13 million tickets have been sold online this year.

Rock Island Armory 1911 9mm followed me home...
Went to the gun show this weekend and ended up coming home with a RIA 1911 in 9mm. I am a big fan of the 1911 platform and Rock Island as their prices can't be beat. I have the 45ACP model and it runs flawlessly. I have been wanting to try one in 9mm and for $430 I said what the heck. It is the bare bones basic model, no beaver tail or combat hammer. I have exactly 10 rounds of 9mm in my stock so it may be a bit before I can get to the range.

Congrats! I would probably pick one up if I happened upon it as well.
The beavertail and hammer can be added easily enough. Throw some Wilson parts on there and some nice grips and that thing will be gorgeous. RIA's are pretty good. My only complaint with them are the huge billboard on the slide.

I have the tactical model and it shoots well. I have about 1500 round through it. I use stainless metalform mags 9fr794 and they work great.
Not a fan of the finish but it was inexpensive. Some day I will have it duracoated, or I will get a stainless one to replace it. |

I've been thinking pretty hard about getting an RIA 9mm 1911.
That billboard on the slide is really obnoxious. |

$30 more than an LC9, but all metal!
Has Taurus really spent more on shipping customers their firearms back to them than actual sales? |

The billboard on the side doesn't bother me all that much. I bought this as a shooter and it will get shot.....lots. This one won't be a safe queen or show piece that's for sure! Now if I can find some damn ammo, I didn't want to pay the $24 per box they were asking at the gun show.

Picked up a used one this weekend. Slight holster wear. It is like yours with the older GI looks, shorter sights, different hammer. Shot it and it shoots great. No problems at all.
I already had one but my daughter has been shooting my other RIA 1911 9mm so I picked the new (used) one up for her. Here is the my older one along with the RIA compact 45. Personally I like the stand out roll marks.

Rabbitt, I really like that compact. I have one of those on my short list as well. On a good note I found some ammo today so I should be able to get out to the range this week and test her out.

Discua Cruz, Allan and Hamilton, Ellie and Jack, Sarah (2012) Understanding entrepreneurial cultures in family businesses:a study of family entrepreneurial teams in Honduras. Journal of Family Business Strategy, 3 (3). 147–161. ISSN 1877-8585
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This study contributes to our understanding about entrepreneurial cultures in family businesses. Previous family business literature highlights that entrepreneurial cultures reside within a founding or incumbent generation. The identification and pursuit of opportunities leading to establishing or acquiring ventures revolves around a founder-centered culture. This view overlooks the way opportunity identification and pursuit become part of the culture in family firms. Interpretive methods were used to analyze six family business groups in Honduras. The unit of analysis is the family entrepreneurial team (FET), members of the family behind entrepreneurial processes. By focusing on the family entrepreneurial team this study shows that entrepreneurial cultures are transmitted via long intergenerational interaction and continued via involvement of junior generations in the identification and pursuit of opportunities. We argue that further attention to the family unit and alternative contexts extends our understanding of entrepreneurial cultures in family businesses.

The Mythago Cycle | |||||||||||||||
Robert Holdstock | |||||||||||||||
Avon and Roc Books | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
At the end of Lavondyss, Tallis and Jim Keeton disappeared into Ryhope Wood, never to be seen again. The Hollowing, the third book in the Ryhope Wood series, opens a year later with the re-emergence of Jim Keeton from the wood and his subsequent death. More important than Keeton's death is the disappearance, shortly thereafter, of Alex Bradley, for once again, as with Mythago Wood and Lavondyss, the Keeton family merely provides the link between the stories. Alex is declared dead when a badly decomposed body is found with head trauma a year after his disappearance. His story doesn't end there, for seven years later a visitor tells his father, Richard, that Alex is alive within Ryhope Wood and in need of his father's aid. The Hollowing is the story of Richard's search for his son. Mirroring Tallis's search for Harry in Lavondyss, Richard's quest for his own son is a reminder that even as people are coming together, the magic of Ryhope Wood continues to tear apart families. Ryhope Wood has its own agenda and seems to summon people who have an aptitude towards mythagenesis in its attempts to refresh itself. At the same time, the Wood's defenses against the incursion of civilization are at work to keep out the humans who live in the area. One of the things which makes Holdstock's take on the idea of mythagos interesting is the fact that his characters are trying to apply modern logic and scientific process to a supernatural event which would have been accepted as such throughout much of its history. As the Ryhope Wood series continues, Holdstock needs to reveal more and more about the conditions in the woods. In The Hollowing, he refers back to the journals of George Huxley first referenced in Mythago Wood. While this helps inform the reader of Holdstock's rules, at the same time it lessens the innate mystery which creates much of the mood of the series. Ryhope Wood openly incorporates non-English mythology for the first time in The Hollowing, going as far afield as North American myth and ancient Greek legend. The majority of The Hollowing is set in 1968, when Tallis and Alex would have been twenty years old. Robert Holdstock was also twenty that year, so he has moved into a period within his own adult recollection. He is able to add bits of trivia and cultural touches which shows the world outside the wood to more complex than the previous novels. This also serves, in conjunction with the information he gives about the wood, to move the series more into the mainstream. Although it's true that after three novels, the plots of the Ryhope Wood series are getting redundant and predictable, the plots are not the important part of these books. Holdstock's focus is the meaning the Wood holds for each individual. In Mythago Wood, Stephen Huxley enters the wood to search for his lost love while Harry Keeton tries to make sense out of what happened to him in Belgium. In Lavondyss, Tallis Keeton enters to rescue her brother and instead comes of age. In The Hollowing, Richard Bradley recovers his own life, missing since his son's disappearance. Richard's quest is broken with occasional forays into the dreams of Alex Bradley. These dreams seem to be the voice of Ryhope Wood making itself known to the boy while he waits for rescue by his father. At the same time, Alex is remaking Ryhope Wood to such an extent that the scientific team delving into its mysteries become aware, and afraid, of him. Holdstock includes some literary references, most notably the early introduction of Helen Silverlock. Her name, she claims, is taken from the white in her hair. However, John Myers Myers's novel Silverlock deals with many of the themes of legend and myth which Holdstock has examined in the Ryhope series. Silverlock's companions, Lytton and Lacan also have names which evoke legends and history. In addition to the novels, Holdstock has written a short story, "The Bone Forest" which deals with the Huxley's encounter with Ryhope Wood. The Huxley's are also the protagonists of Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn, the latest addition to the Ryhope Wood series.
Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn
With Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn, Robert Holdstock has come full circle with
the Ryhope Wood Saga. In Mythago Wood, George and Christian Huxley were
shadowy figures in their own right, nearly as mysterious as the wood which Steve
Huxley explored. With the fourth book in the series, Holdstock has backtracked
to a time before Mythago Wood occurs and presents Christian Huxley as a well-rounded
character, perhaps more than previous protagonists since Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn
is told in the first person. This latest entry in the series explains what happened to
Jennifer Huxley and the role Guiwenneth played in her fate. Although
Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn can be read on its own (as can the earlier Ryhope books),
the reader will gain the most from the book if it is read along with the other novels.
As his brother Steve did in Mythago Wood, Christian enters Ryhope looking for
Guiwenneth. His quest, however, is more complex since he is also looking for his
mother, Jennifer and, although he would deny it, his father. While in Ryhope, Christian
hooks up with a mighty army, by far the largest group of people so far shown within
the boundaries of the wood. He makes a reputation with this group which is not even
hinted at during his later foray into the wood in Mythago Wood as
"The Outsider." However, Christian has more depth here than in the previous novel
and his relationship with Guiwenneth is more fully explored as we discover the
origins of the various versions of her mythago which appeared in the first book
of the series.
The mysteries of Ryhope Wood have been explored now, in three separate
novels and a short story, which means that much of what Christian discovers
is already known, in one form or another, from previous books. However,
Holdstock is able to give some of his tricks new angles as Christian approaches
them from his own viewpoint for the first time.
After the Greek departure which occurred when Richard Bradley entered the wood
in search of his lost son Alex in The Hollowing, Holdstock returns to
Ryhope's Celtic roots in Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn. He now uses the
legend of King Arthur and the Mabinogion as his departure point. This
Celtic background seems more at home in Ryhope Wood than the Greek, Native
American and other foreign mythologies which have been creeping in since the
original volume. Perhaps if Holdstock had made a more specific link from Ryhope
to woods in foreign locations they would have seemed more at home, but Holdstock
never made that connection.
Some of the more interesting characters in Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn
are the outsiders who Christian befriends. Chief among these is Someone son of
Somebody, a Germanic mythago whose father died before giving him a name. Until
he can discover his father's identity and the name chosen for him, Someone can't
claim a name of his own. Someone's search for an identity underlines the quests
which have occurred throughout the series. Although lacking in knowledge of his
name and ancestry, Someone does have an identity of his own.
Although Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn has a greater reliance on plot than
the earlier novels in the series, a vast proportion of the novel is still driven
by the mysteries of the Wood. Instead, every sidetrack and flashback conspires
to flesh out the spirit of Ryhope Wood, which has always towered above the
exploits of the various Keetons, Bradleys or Huxleys who have made their way
past Ryhope's outer defenses.
If you are looking for plot, or even character, driven fantasy, the Ryhope Wood
Saga will not serve your purposes. If you are interested in an examination of
mythology and its hold on the human subconscious, sometimes in esoteric terms,
Holdstock consistently manages to hit a bullseye. If you are looking for
literature which manages to capture, time and again, a specific mood: mysterious
and occasionally dark, the books which begin with Mythago Wood are among
the best written in the field.

I'm out of town so I'm only getting what nfl.com provides. In seeing cam get sacked quite a bit, is it mostly Bell or is the entire line playing like crap? Also, was the pick-six an ugly pass or was it more what the defense did? How is the playcalling?
The O-line was dreadful today. Granted, they had their hands full with Dumervil, Ayers, and Miller, but this was pathetic. Silatolu is far worse than Bell? I'm not sure I'm seeing that. Bell was getting beat on every single play this game.
I guess what I don't understand is... Newton starts the game 6-for-6, looks good, the offense is moving. Then he wildly misses Smith on a screen and everything goes downhill from there. I know he's under pressure, but he just seems to be making bad decisions in those situations. He's still staring down his receivers, he doesn't have a sense for when his protection is collapsing, and he hasn't shown a willingness to escape the pocket and make the pass on the run.
That said, part of that is how long he holds the ball. I blame that partially on play design, but I think the receivers have to accept some of that responsibility too. It was nice to see Edwards on the field today (and Gettis for a play or two), but I need to see more from him. As for Murphy, I need to see less of him. He's like this year's Naanee. I'd rather see Edwards or even Barnidge lined up in the slot.
I thought we were going to go to more of a power running game? I guess that just meant we were not going to run the option as much, not that we'd actually run the ball. Fewer than 20 runs to 36 passes. I know the O-line plays horribly at times, but we still have to get the ball in the hands of Stewart and Williams. It's a shame that half the time they touch the ball, there's a hold or illegal use of the hands or something.
I'm not sure how any team gets pressure on Manning. Really, I'm not. I won't fault the D-line for that. Forcing three fumbles certainly helps their cause. Unless there's a beast of a DT available in the draft next year, I'm keeping this unit intact.
Run defense could have been better, but wasn't horrible. LBs did alright in pass coverage.
Was it just me or did Martin play a great game today? The rest of the secondary did about as well as one could expect against Manning, given that Norman is a rookie, Thomas is practically a rookie, and Munnerlyn was back to being his normal self.
Speaking of whom, he did a lot of dancing on punt returns, but still didn't get anywhere. I'm not saying I want Edwards returning punts, but it might be time to see if Adams has learned how to hold onto the ball. I'm not sure what that does for the inactives list though.
The defense is playing really well right now. They didn't even give up that many points against a very good Denver offense when you factor in the punt return for a TD and the pick six. The people who thought the defense was the problem and were whining about McDermott should be laughing at themselves, because the defense has been damn good the past few weeks. Hardy and Johnson are both playing lights out, and Frank Alexander has been way impressive for a rookie.

I think Newton's problems are (greatest to least): Oline being in shambles, poor placating, no run game, young player problems (off throws, starring, pocket presence), receivers not getting open/not catching the tough catches that they could be getting, and not having a consistent receiver besides Smith.
Someone mentioned to me today (non-panther fan) how would I feel if we drafted Jarvis Jones or the top WR in the draft. There are more pressing needs, but it's possible the new coach wants a 3-4 defense and Jones looks great for an OLB.
For a WR, I think we need to find Smith's future replacement asap. LaFell is clearly not a #1 and no one else is looking ing the part either. LaFell is probably going to be a good #2 but we need the #1 WR soon. We could move Smith to the inside more frequently. I'd like to be able to do what ATL did for White when they brought in Jones.
The defense has been playing well, no doubt. I'm not ready to get behind McDermott just yet though. I still don't like how far our DBs play from the line of scrimmage, or the straight-ahead pass rush. BUT, it seems to be working somehow, and as long as that's the case, I can't really complain too much.
Small shout-out to Chud too. Following that first TD drive, we were inside our own 10 and Chud calls a quick slant! It was knocked down at the line, but that's the kind of play that will help Newton deal with the pressure that defenses are throwing at him. Too bad he didn't call more of those.
Call me a guy that was raised a Steelers fan before the Panthers came into the league, but I think we need to address O-line in the draft. If we can find that long-term LT, this line could look very good again (moving Gross to RT, of course).Originally Posted by manbearchef
If I'm the future (or current!) coach of the Panthers, I'm looking at what Johnson, Hardy, Edwards, Edwards, and Alexander have achieved this year and I'm not thinking about moving to a 3-4. What I am thinking is that I need a beast NT to replace Ron Edwards when he is no longer with the team (and I think he's done well this year, but he's not getting any younger).
I also don't think we need to go out and draft a WR in the first round. And, yes, if you're talking about finding Smith's replacement ASAP, that's what you're suggesting. I think we'll know by the end of the year whether we already have that guy on the roster (*cough* Gettis *cough*). I don't know that we really need to address WR in this draft anyway, but if the right guy is there, it wouldn't be too surprising if they pulled the trigger.
Biggest needs: OT, NT (Star Lotulelei would be amazing)
Silatolu has more POTENTIAL but at this stage he is not better than Byron Bell. Silatolu consistently looks like a deer in head lights. He has had multiple penalties against him example the screen play we did to Stew that went for about 60 yards but was called back (The refs said Gross but it was Silatolu even the announcers knew the refs called the wrong number). Personally I think the organization made a huge mistake drafting someone so raw so early when there were TONS of better offensive lineman available with that same pick. I am hoping our next GM is smarter with high draft picks. If I had a chance in free agency I would replace Silatolu and Bell to help make our oline better.
Did you even watch the game? On that play where Stewart went for a ton of yards, Silatolu was out in space and blocked the guy in the back. If he doesn't do that, Stewart doesn't spring that play in the first place.
Silatolu is not good right now, but he isn't bad. I know you're a Byron Bell apologist and have been for awhile, but Bell is miles worse than Silatolu. Did you even watch Bell get teed off on by Dumervil first, then Miller for the rest of the game after Doom went out? Bell didn't have a snowball's chance in hell. Which "tons" of offensive linemen would you prefer to Silatolu in this past draft? You're crazy if you're already going to give up on him right now.
Yes I saw the play but I like Stewarts odds of breaking the tackle because he does it on a consistent basis. You gotta let defender go and see what happens instead of moving your team backwards.
Cordy Glenn or Jonathan Martin would have been fine with me. I didn't say I would give up on him but I would prefer for him to compete in camp and possibly be a backup til he is ready.
You also have to protect your players. I can't fault him too much for that penalty.
Cordy Glenn would have been better. I preferred Cordy Glenn at the time of the draft. However, Martin is not a good fit. He's a poor run blocker. He would have only been able to play LT. He hasn't been good in Miami at RT. I'm still not seeing "tons" of better OLs that we could have gone with.
There's plenty to like about Silatolu. He's a superior athlete to both of them. Considering they decided they wanted to fill a guard spot, he's probably a better fit at guard than either Glenn or Martin (definitely Martin). Martin would be a useless RT. I've been a fan of moving Gross off of LT and to LG or RT, but I wouldn't do it for Jonathan Martin. And yes, when you're paying RBs like we're paying them, you ought to be prepared to run the ball a lot.

TUESDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- The incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer in the United States appears to be increasing, as individuals have failed to incorporate sun protection behaviors despite proven scientific evidence that sun exposure is a preventable risk factor, according to data presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, held from Feb. 4 to 8 in New Orleans.
Brett M. Coldiron, M.D., of the University of Cincinnati, discussed new statistics that point to an increase in non-melanoma skin cancer and reasons why young people are at an elevated risk of developing this type of cancer.
A recent analysis of Medicare claims data revealed that treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers in the United States nearly doubled between 1994 and 2006, with more than 3.5 million new non-melanoma skin cancers estimated in 2006. Despite exposure to ultraviolet light being proven to be a preventable risk factor for skin cancer, attitudes regarding tanning remain unchanged, Coldiron said in his presentation. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that individuals use a broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30 on all exposed skin; wear protective clothing; seek shade when appropriate; use extra caution around water, snow, and sand as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun; avoid tanning beds; and get vitamin D safely, through a healthy diet that may include vitamin supplements.
"As dermatologists, we know that it is hard to change behavior, even in the face of proven scientific evidence," Coldiron said in a statement. "Attitudes about tanning are no different, as studies have shown that even though people know that overexposure to ultraviolet light can lead to skin cancer, they still tan. We need young people to realize that tanning for cosmetic reasons now will ultimately negatively affect their appearance later and even increase their risk for skin cancer."

Scouting Report Analysis

Two nice articles of Bleacher Report:
Managing Expectations for Anthony Davis
Scouting Report Analysis
Good reads
Was the use of the phrase "rampant losing" necessary? :rolleyes:Quote:
...That experience, along with the rampant losing he's bound to encounter in New Orleans, could weigh on his confidence and make the task of realizing his full potential that much more difficult.
People keep saying Kevin Garnett, but I see more of David Robinson. Garnett was always a good defender, an intelligent defender, but he has never been a game changer that alters 10-12 shots a game at the rim.He's averaged 1.5 blocks per game over his career, while I think Davis averages nearly twice that over his.
Robinson, like Davis, was a high school guard and did the majority of his damage offensively utilizing his athleticism and face-up game. The more and more I pour over the tape of D-Rob, the more I see what Anthony Davis will become. Robinson didn't come into the league until he was a 24 year old man, so Davis won't have the immediate impact Robinson did, but I expect their primes to be very similar.
Think it's interesting how people continue to assume the dude doesn't have enough offensive game to be effective, "nothing more than Marcus Camby" as one person put it. No matter.
Don't get why expectations need to be managed anyway. Think he'll be the greatest of all time, the only bad thing that'll happen is you're wrong and disappointed. For Davis himself? So long as he works his gluts off to make it happen, not a problem there either.
Garnett was one of the best defenders the league has ever seen. He could guard both forward positions and center. Just extremely versatile and capable. He was an absolute game changer on defense while also being fantastic on offense. Even at this age, he is the defensive anchor for the Celtics. If he gets injured or declines more, expect the Celtics to start dropping down in defensive rankings.
Robinson is an even better defender, but not quite as good of an offensive threat. If Davis turns out like either one of these guys, he will be the best player this franchise has ever had.
Honestly this was a great read, but the 14/7/1.5 seems a little low to me.
I expect Davis to be more like Robinson compared to Garnett.
Robinson not as good as an offensive threat as Garnett???
Sorry, I have to say something about that. Maybe you are remembering post Duncan David Robinson, but "in his prime" David Robinson was a top 3 scorer in the league multiple times- averaging nearly 27 PPG in his first 7 seasons in the league. Meanwhile, KG's career high was 24.2 PPG, a number D-Rob eclipsed 5 times, including the season he led the NBA in scoring at 29.8 PPG.
In his prime David Robinson was superior in every aspect of the game, with the exception of passing from the low post, and I see Davis as more Robinson than KG. Not a slight to KG at all- top 25 player of all-time- but I fully expect AD to be one of those once in a generation guys when it is all said and done that people talk about as a top-10 All-Timer. And if you check the 'In the NO' podcast, I have been saying that since December of 2011, so this is not homer speak
I think Robinson was a much better offensive player than Garnett.
I didn't know David Robinson scored 71 in a game. And yeah AD will be amazing it's a reason why I screamed like idk what when we got him. I mean....how many times have you heard someone compare any player to KG and Robinson? That's good enough for me lol I don't even care to argue I just want to see him in a hornets jersey now.
Robinson was a big time scorer.
Both Robinson and Garnett were great offensive players in their prime. A few points per game doesn't change that. They had a fantastic run in Minnesota.
Davis is so raw on that end I wouldn't predict him being like either. If he develops a top notch offensive game, it'll be his very own.
Well, obviously I'd be happy with Davis if any of the comparisons of him come to fruition. Be it Robinson, Garnett, Hakeem, or Russel.
Bring on the season, so I can stop being anxious and sounding like a fool trying to talk about the Hornets to everyone all the time.
I think Anthony Davis will be like Anthony Davis five years from now. Maybe even 10 years from now, if he reaches his ceiling.
When you have players as raw, tall, long, and athletic as Davis it's hard to say with their full potential is. However I don't think he'll be anywhere close to LeBron. James is all three things power, skill, and athleticism. It's hard to imagine Davis being a transcendent player relying heavily on athletic ability.

From imitation to invention : creating commodities in eighteenth-century Britain

This article presents the history of new goods in the eighteenth century as a part of the broader history of invention and industrialization. It focuses on product innovation in manufactured commodities as this engages with economic, technological and cultural theories. Recent theories of consumer demand are applied to the invention of commodities in the eighteenth century; special attention is given to the process of imitation in product innovation. The theoretical framework for imitation can be found in evolutionary theories of memetic transmission, in archaeological theories of skeuomorphous, and in eighteenth-century theories of taste and aesthetics. Inventors, projectors, economic policy makers, and commercial and economic writers of the period dwelt upon the invention of new British products. The emulative, imitative context for their invention made British consumer goods the distinctive modem alternatives to earlier Asian and European luxuries.

Fiber laser optical frequency standard at 1.54 μm |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 3, pp. 2052-2063 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1021 KB)
A 32 mW fiber laser is stabilized to the 13C2H2 P(16) (ν 1 + ν3) transition at 1542 nm using saturated absorption. The short-term shot-noise limited fractional frequency instability is 5.0 × 10−13(τ/s)−½ for averaging times τ up to about 100 s. The relative lock-point repeatability over 2½ month is 4.3 × 10−13 corresponding to 83 Hz. The simple setup includes a 21 cm long gas cell, but it does not require an enhancement cavity or external modulators. The spectroscopic lineshape is analyzed with respect to optical power and acetylene pressure. Narrow linewidths of 300 kHz FWHM are observed with a signal to noise ratio of 35 dB in a 9 Hz bandwidth.
