Myths and misconceptions in entrepreneurship
February 11, 2011 1 Comment
Just last week a colleague from the UK asked me to share with them a document I used for a training course on entrepreneurship education with the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship. The paper was on the 'Myths and Misconceptions of Entrepreneurship' which was written as collective exercise between a number of people (Luke Pittaway, Jason Cope, Ellie Hamilton, Frank Cave) at Lancaster University in 2001. I thought it would be worthwhile to share these myths and misconceptions more widely via this blog:
'Entrepreneurs are born and not made'
Much of the early research in entrepreneurship has focused on trait theory and the personality of the individual (Chell, 1985). As a consequence, it is often assumed that individuals have certain inherent traits that predispose them to entrepreneurial activity. From this perspective, it is deemed possible to build a personality profile which identifies the entrepreneur. More recent research indicates that entrepreneurial skills, abilities, behaviours and perceptions are dynamic, and can change over time and through experience and learning (Cope, 2001). People may display some of the classic traits such as need for achievement, risk bearing, creativity but these are not necessarily stable or static characteristics. Entrepreneurship can also be viewed as a social construction (Chell and Pittaway, 1998; Pittaway, 2000) occurring within and shaped by particular social, historical and cultural contexts. In other words nobody really knows and there are many disagreements about it even in the academic research.
'Entrepreneurship is synonymous with new venture creation'
Entrepreneurship is often seen as a set of activities involved in organization creation (Gartner, 1985). From a more dynamic perspective, it is reasonable to argue that the study of entrepreneurship should encompass the entirety of the entrepreneurial experience, prior to, during and after start-up. By focusing on new venture creation alone, the rich and complex process of how entrepreneurs negotiate the management of a growing enterprise or venture is largely ignored (Cope, 2001). Forms of entrepreneurial activity have seen to occur in many contexts other than simply during venture creation and this is, therefore, just one perspective.
'Entrepreneurship is all about making a fortune'
Entrepreneurship is often associated with making money and creating a personal fortune. For some people, this may indeed be the case. However, even in a business context the underlying motivations for any individual may be extremely complex and can include the need to: achieve independence/autonomy; be challenged; create something new; exploit an opportunity; influence others; or simply to make a living. Money is often the mechanism through which individuals (and those around them) measure their success rather than an end in itself.
'Entrepreneurship only takes place in a business context'
Entrepreneurship is often associated with wealth creation in a business context. However, the same sets of behaviors and activities may be found in a number of other contexts – public sector, voluntary sector and other non-profit organizations. There is growing interest, both politically and academically, in the notion of 'social entrepreneurship' and 'social enterprise'. The triggers for such activity and behavior may be different (for example, the response to a perceived social need or gap in provision). It is not clear from the limited research to date whether there are significant contextual differences in terms of motivation, perceived rewards, use of networks, etc. What is clear is that the sectoral boundaries between 'public', 'private' and 'voluntary' may become blurred.
'Entrepreneurship is all about the cult of the individual'
Entrepreneurs are often portrayed as 'heroes' and entrepreneurial endeavor (particularly in Western societies) is associated with the expression of individualism. Even where an individual is perceived to be leading entrepreneurial activity, this is not achieved without the involvement of others – who often occupy crucial roles within the organization. Research in high growth firms in Silicon Valley, for example, indicates that a balanced team has an impact on long-term business growth and survival (Eisenhardt and Bird-Schoonhoven, 1990). In smaller firms the support network, the family and domestic partners are also viewed to have a significant impact on both the entrepreneur and the development of the small firm. Entrepreneurial activity, therefore, is not always driven by individuals.
'SMEs are a homogenous group'
Small businesses and owner-managers are often treated as a homogenous group, particularly for policy purposes. This is, however, a gross over-simplification. The SME sector is characterized by its diversity, e.g.:
- Size – a micro-business employing less than 10 employees has a quite different dynamic to small and medium-sized enterprises employing 25-50 employees.
- Industry sector – SMEs differ considerably between industry sectors depending upon their technology base and the dynamics of their market.
- Owner-managers – differ in terms of their underlying business motivations, aspirations, experience and business strategies.
'All owner-managers want to grow their business'
Western economies have institutionalized the concept of business growth, exemplified in the concept of GDP. The SME sector is often heralded as the engine of economic growth (OECD, 1998). As a consequence, much support for small businesses works on the assumption that all business owners wish to grow their business. Research evidence suggests that a desire for business growth amongst SMEs cannot be assumed (Gray, 1998). Some owner-managers operate a business as a means of sustaining a particular lifestyle, whilst others wish to keep the business at a size that remains under their personal control. Interestingly, some owner-managers actively pursue a strategy of business closure if they perceive this to be the best course of action. The number of owner-managers that pursue substantial growth is only in the region of 15% (Carter et al, 2001).
'Entrepreneurs are risk-takers'
It is a commonly held belief that entrepreneurs take risks. However, research illustrates the complexity surrounding the concept of risk. Some theorists argue that entrepreneurs are 'moderate' risk takers (Brockhaus, 1980; Gasse, 1982), whilst others suggest that entrepreneurs take 'calculated' risks (Timmons et al, 1985). There are significant difficulties associated with any attempt to measure an entrepreneur's risk-taking propensity, as the concept of risk is a subjective one. An observer may view the entrepreneur to be taking a risk whilst the entrepreneur might feel that he/she is actively trying to minimize the risk being taken (Chell et al, 1991).
'Entrepreneurship cannot be taught'
Entrepreneurship courses are now being offered in a large number of US universities. 'Two main types of course are evident: courses for entrepreneurship, and courses about entrepreneurship.' (Levie, 1999; p4). A common demarcation is that courses for entrepreneurship emphasize experiential learning and connection with entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial activity, whilst courses about entrepreneurship tend to be delivered in a more traditional manner – through lectures, textbooks and assessed through essay and exams. These two different pedagogical approaches need not be mutually exclusive. In teaching entrepreneurship, the subject can be approached from a functional, managerial perspective – studying the processes of start-up, sources of appropriate finance, forms of legal entity, the management of growth, exit strategies, etc. Another underlying purpose may be to sensitize individuals to the contexts in which entrepreneurial activity may occur – for example, within small businesses, large corporations (termed corporate entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship), the public sector and voluntary organizations. More broadly, there are interesting issues to be considered from social, historical, cultural and moral perspectives.

By Master Sgt. Bob Haskell, USANational Guard Bureau
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 1, 2002 The police chief for Montgomery County in Maryland who led the high-profile manhunt for the snipers who killed 10 people and terrorized the Washington, D.C., region for most of October is also a highly regarded officer in the Air National Guard.
Charles Moose, who seemed to breathe a little easier on Thursday night, Oct. 24, after the two suspects had been arrested without incident early that morning, has become the new poster person for members of the National Guard and other military reservists who maintain demanding civilian careers.
Most Americans know him as Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose, the leader and national spokesman for the multi-agency task force that devoted three weeks to tracking down those responsible for killing 10 innocent people, wounding three others and terrorizing people around the nation's capital before the Oct. 24 arrests. Maryland authorities charged the two suspects with six counts of first-degree murder on Oct. 25. Other jurisdictions have also taken action against them.
His military colleagues also know him as Maj. Charles Moose, commander of the District of Columbia Air National Guard's 60-member security forces squadron in the 113th Wing based at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
Moose, 49, has commanded the 113th Security Forces Squadron since May 2000, a D.C. Air Guard spokesperson explained. He has spent much of the past 13 months dealing with two unthinkable and historic events -- the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Pentagon and this October's hunt for the accused snipers.
Members of the National Guard and the president of the United States praised the no- nonsense Moose for his conviction and his compassion. The imposing police chief in his trademark tan shirt and black tie relayed the sniper's chilling message that "your children are not safe, anywhere at any time," and he repeatedly addressed the cold-blooded serial killer on national television.
"What you see is what you get with Maj. Moose. He is direct, but he is also a humanitarian," said Chief Master Sgt. Bobby Spear, the senior enlisted member of the security forces squadron who has recently retired from the U.S. Secret Service after 26 years.
"The admiration that he's received from the national and international media and communities comes as no surprise to us," added Spear about his commander who grew up in Lexington, N.C., and studied American history at the University of North Carolina. Moose has also earned a doctorate in urban affairs, and he clearly knows how to balance his civilian and military obligations.
"He worked around the clock for two or three weeks after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001," Spear recounted. "He would work all day at Montgomery County and then come to Andrews (Air Force Base, Md.) and work with us late into the night, making sure we had everything we needed to keep our planes and our part of the base secure. He'd spend the night and then go back to work at Montgomery County the next day.
"We're proud of him for what he has done," said Spear about Moose's highly visible participation with the sniper task force. "This is not a role that he would ordinarily relish."
"You have lifted a shadow of fear for many families. God bless you and may God bless the victims," President George Bush said in praise of Moose, according to White House spokesman Ari Fleischer in the Associated Press.
"Many police and law enforcement officers still serve their nation in the National Guard while supporting their communities as well. We are proud to count among them the leader of the task force that is even now working to bring this investigation to a conclusion -- Police Chief Charles A. Moose, Montgomery County, Maryland," stated Maj. Gen. Raymond Rees, acting chief of the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, Va.
The two accused snipers' victims include six who were killed in Montgomery County, next to the District of Columbia, where Moose has been the police chief since 1999.
That's where the killing began on Oct. 3. That's where it ended on Oct. 22. That's where it was determined on Oct. 24 that a Bushmaster XM-15, .223-caliber rifle recovered from the two suspects' car was linked by ballistics to 11 of the then-14 shootings attributed to the sniper.
That's where Moose led the multi-agency task force that included members of the FBI, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Secret Service, D.C. Metropolitan Police, Maryland and Virginia state police, the U.S. Marshals, and a half- dozen other county and municipal police forces.
"This is a very complex investigation. The unprecedented cooperation has made this case possible," Moose said on Oct. 24, cautioning that much more work remains to be done. "It's been very, very honorable to work with all of the men and women involved in this matter.
"We have not given in to the terror," he said to everyone the sniper has afflicted. "Yes, we have all experienced anxiety, but in the end resiliency has won out."

Veggie Cream Cheese Spread
This is a homemade version of the veggie cream cheese spreads you can buy in the grocery store (Philadelphia, to be specific!), and I love its delicious versatility! Of course, you can spread it on crackers, crostini, or (as I did the other day!) toasted mini-bagels…but it's also exceedingly delicious as a sandwich spread, whether it's a ham sandwich or a veggie sandwich with cucumbers, lettuce, and sprouts.
Here's how to make it!
First, slice up some green onion. Serious flavor!
Next, dice up some red onion, otherwise known as I-have-no-idea-why-they-call-them-red-onions-when-they-are-clearly-purple onion…
The idea here is to dice everything really finely so you won't have to pulse the heck out of the cream cheese mixture to break it up. Starting with everything really small will let you control how much you mix everything together.
Now for the fun part! Throw some cream cheese into the food processor (or you could use a mixer if you're not concerned about the veggies getting broken up too much.)
Then grate or press the garlic and add it in. I like to grate or press it so there aren't any chunks of garlic here and there. You just get the delicious flavor.
And pulse it around until it's the texture you want. You can just pulse it three or four times and be left with more of a white cream cheese mixture with flecks of color…or you can do what I did and pulse it several times for a more peachy-colored mixture.
Either way, the most important thing is to transfer the mixture to a container and refrigerate it for at least a couple of hours—longer is better! That way, the flavors will have a chance to combine.
Then serve it with crackers, crostini, or toasted mini bagels!
This is super scrumptious, friends. Like, totally.
And you can add whatever you'd like to the mixture: cucumber, jalapenos, radishes, different colors of bell pepper, different herbs…anything goes!
Here's the handy dandy printable.

Some members of my family are NOT cream cheese enthusiastic, so I mix 1 block of reduced fat cream cheese, 1 block of Neufchatel cheese, and almost that much of nonfat plain Greek yoghurt. I do whatever veggies diced fine plus a dash of Worchestershire and Cajun seasoning (Slap Ya Mama is my preference). No food processor at our house – I just use the KitchenAid mixer. Sometimes I'll roll some in wax paper, chill and slice, so they fit nicely on crackers or toast or cucumbers.

AREA FISHING REPORTCrankbaits or spinner-crawler rigs continue to produce walleyes in 30 to 32 feet of water from the Lighthouse Gap to Morris Point Gap and up to Garden Island. On the main-lake reefs, pink or gold jigs and spinners are a good bet for walleyes as well.
By: Herald Staff Report, Grand Forks Herald
Crankbaits or spinner-crawler rigs continue to produce walleyes in 30 to 32 feet of water from the Lighthouse Gap to Morris Point Gap and up to Garden Island. On the main-lake reefs, pink or gold jigs and spinners are a good bet for walleyes as well.
In the Northwest Angle area, Scott Edman of Angling Adventures Guiding Service said fishing continues to be excellent in Ontario waters. The reefs in the deep basin areas north of Skeet Island are giving up numbers of walleyes, while points, dropoffs and shorelines within the shallower basin areas closer to the Angle are producing larger fish but fewer numbers. Expect to find some nice-sized perch and crappies mixed in with the walleyes. As usual, a jig tipped with a minnow or soft plastic is the standard presentation, Edman said.
Muskie fishing remains consistent, Edman said. The late-summer algae bloom has filled in certain areas, making it difficult to spot "follows" and cast to specific rocks. Look for areas where the wind has cleared the algae away or run farther north to find clearer water. Northern pike and muskies have been a common catch for the walleye anglers working shoreline areas, especially spots with weeds. Try using a large swim bait retrieved close to the bottom along shorelines to tap into this bite. Most smallmouth bass are still right along the rocky shorelines and points, Edman said, but anglers can expect to find some nice bass on deeper off-shore structure as well.
In Minnesota waters, Edman said the most consistent action has been along the deep edge of structure pulling bottom bouncers and spinners with live bait. Speed-trolling shallow rock flats with crankbaits also will put fish in the boat. Some of the best spots include Little Oak Island, the Crowduck Island flats and Starren Shoals off Garden Island.
Fishing is good, and anglers right now have the chance to catch walleyes, pike, white bass and perch, according to Mark Bry of Bry's Guide Service on Devils Lake. Bry said it's hard to remember better August fishing than this year has offered. Fish are beginning to move shallower, Bry said, although the best action still is in 12 to 25 feet of water. Anglers are catching numbers of 14- to 17-inch walleyes along with occasional fish in the 18- to 22-inch range, he said. Pick a favorite technique, and it's probably working right now, Bry said, whether it's jigging and live-bait rigging with minnows and crawlers or trolling crankbaits. Work the edges of weeds, points and flooded rocks, Bry said, and look for the fishing to get even better with the onset of fall.
The end of last week saw a big cool-down in water temperatures, making catfish sluggish, according to Grand Forks catfish guide Brad Durick. This week's warm-up has everything moving back to normal. Catfish are being caught fairly shallow near wood or some other sort of structure out of the main current. Many fish are being caught in as shallow as 2 feet of water. As the water warms up, they will continue to move back to the current edges and holes. Baits of choice have been sucker and goldeye. Frogs also are working, Durick said, but not as well. Whatever the bait, keep it fresh. River levels are getting low so anglers fishing by boat below the Riverside Dam or Drayton Dam should be careful of shallow water and other dangers that may be lurking below the surface. There is still enough water to fish, Durick said, but anglers need to be careful when boating.
Live-bait rigs tipped with leeches and crawlers are producing walleyes on Island Lake and Blackduck Lake in 12 to 18 feet of water. Lakes such as North Twin, South Twin, Gilstead, Gull and Pimushe are producing panfish in 6 to 10 feet and bass along the deeper weeds.
Jigs tipped with minnows or spinners and crawlers are starting to produce walleyes on the points and cabbage weed areas in 9 to 12 feet of water. There have been some decent walleye catches reported during the day on the main-lake reefs in 20 to 25 feet of water and at night with crankbaits around the points in Walker Bay. Muskies are being raised on the rocks around Submarine Island and on the cabbage in Portage Bay.
Slip bobbers and leeches, spinners and crawlers, or jigs and minnows are all producing walleyes on the 12-foot weed edges and points. The tops of the main-lake bars and humps also gave up walleyes on spinners and crawlers in less than 20 feet of water. Look for perch on the 12-foot rocks and northern pike to be mixed with the walleyes.
Nightcrawlers continue to work best for walleyes in 12 to 21 feet of water on lakes Melissa, Sallie, Big Cormorant, Deadshot Bay, and Big Detroit. Muskies are becoming more active with some fish caught on topwater baits at Big Detroit, Sallie, and Beers Lake. Look for sunfish from the weedlines out to 20 feet on Melissa, Big Detroit, Little Detroit Lake, Floyd Lake and Acorn Lake.
Minnows are producing a few walleyes during low-light periods on Long Lake in 18 feet of water. At Fish Hook Lake, minnows will produce walleyes and pike in the 7- to 14-foot weeds. Bass are hitting plastics in the 7- to 12-foot weeds of most lakes, and spoons are producing pike on Big Mantrap Lake in 14 to 16 feet of water. Look for bluegills in 12 feet on Fish Hook and the Crow Wing Chain, while rainbows are suspended and active on Bad Medicine Lake.

As the Rod Blagojevich scandal continues to unfold, it's worth recalling that Democrats in 2006 -led by Representative Rahm Emanuel- ran on the theme that they would end "the culture of corruption." Indeed, Emanuel, in dismissing wrongdoings by Democrats at the time, explained them away as simply the actions of a few individuals. About Republicans, Emanuel said, "They have institutional corruption." The argument put forth was that Democrats would bring ethics and high standards to public office and that the Democratic Party would embody integrity and police its ranks.
It hasn't quite worked out that way.
As the sportscaster Warner Wolf used to say, let's go to the videotape. In 2008 alone, we have the arrest of Democratic Governor Blagojevich on charges of public corruption, which include trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. Former Democratic Representative William Jefferson, a nine-term incumbent, lost his seat in Louisiana because of corruption charges, including allegations that he took bribes -of which $90,000 were allegedly found in his freezer during an FBI raid- from a company seeking lucrative contracts in the Nigerian telecommunications market. Tim Mahoney, the Democrat who succeeded Republican Mark Foley after the latter resigned due to a sex scandal, lost his seat when he, Mahoney, became embroiled in a sex scandal of his own. Former Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned in disgrace after he was caught up in a call girl operation. Democratic Representative Charlie Rangel is now under investigation for reportedly helping to retain a multimillion-dollar tax loophole for an oil drilling company at the same time that the company's CEO was pledging $1 million to the Charles B. Rangel School for Public Service at City College of New York. Also, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick resigned as part of a plea bargain in which he pled guilty to two felonies for obstruction of justice.
Democrats seem to be doing a rather fine job at building on a culture of corruption rather than ending it.
Corruption and scandals plague individuals in both parties, of course, and Republicans have had their fair share of them (including the conviction of Senator Ted Stevens earlier this year). There are scoundrels and honorable people in both political parties. But three things are worth bearing in mind at the moment:
The first is that Democrats, in their effort to gain political power, made ethics a defining issue. They are the ones who set the expectations and the ethics bar very high. Having so far failed miserably to meet their own standards, they are vulnerable to the charge of hypocrisy.
Second, when enough scandals occur in a concentrated time period, they reach a tipping point. The public begins to associate corruption not simply with individuals but with the party they represent; and that, in turn, can do tremendous damage to the "brand" of a political party. Such a thing happened to Republicans in recent years, and they paid an enormous political price for it. Now that same thing may be happening to Democrats.
Third, President-elect Obama made the centerpiece of his campaign the promise that he would "turn the page" on the old politics and clean out our political Augean stables. As head of the Democratic Party, he is now responsible for its conduct, including its ethical behavior. It looks as if he has his work cut out for him.
The Democratic Party has, in a matter of mere months, succeeded in creating a record of corruption that extends from mayors to governors to member of Congress. And the Blagojevich scandal is not only far from over, it may well extend beyond what we now know. It's fair to assume that a lot of people are beginning to talk to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in the hopes of gaining leniency, so we will see how far the tentacles of this scandal extend.
The "culture of corruption" appears to be alive and well, aided and abetted by Democrats at almost every level. I rather doubt the national media will be as eager to highlight this issue as they were with Republicans. But the public might connect the dots anyway.

Included in our trip package was a day trip aboard the Camira, a seven year old eighty five foot catamaran! We were told it would be an all day trip leaving at seven am and getting back shortly before seven at night to Whitheaven Beach and all meals were to be included. Being broke college students the free food idea sounded amazing and it really was delicious.
Our whole trip had fabulous weather and the day sailing was no different. Not a cloud in the sky and about ten knots wind (I have a bit of a sailing background so going for a leisurely sail with beautiful scenery was amazing) the crew even told us that our day was the best weather they have had for a month and a half.
We stopped between two islands in Hook Passage for snorkeling. We hadn't been told this was happening so we were all very excited. I had never snorkeled before and was so glad to get a trial run before the next days trip to the Great Barrier Reef. I've never been one with the water but snorkeling was about as easy and user friendly as floating on a raft. I had a great first experience!
We all got back aboard and finished our sail to the beautiful Whitheaven Beach! The sand is ninety eight percent silica which makes it extremely fine and white. The sands make up keeps it from ever warming up, no jumping around due to hot sand. It is part of a national park and wins several awards each year. We got to play around on the beach for a hour and a half then we finished our journey by sailing around the rest of Whitsunday Island. It was a beautiful day I won't forget.

You know what an oxymoron is right? Jumbo Shrimp? Smart Jason? You see it's using an adjective to describe the opposite really. In more Merriam-Webster speak an oxymoron is: is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms.
Yesterday I was using Google to search for what would be considered the healthiest food. I wanted to know what the 'experts' thought was the one food that had it all and I was curious if I was eating it. If you ask me its the banana. I mean you get potassium, Vitamin C, Folate, Vitamin B6, Magnesium and Manganese plus a limited amounts of fat, cholesterol and sodium. Not to mention that they are cheap. I just bought 9 lbs of bananas for $4.46.
As I typed healthy into my Google search bar the automatic drop down showed healthy fast foods. I thought well what could that entail. What is considered fast food and what would be considered healthy? There were a ton of links but what drew my eye was the article from CNN because it was about breakfast.
As you know breakfast and I are best friends. I love breakfast not just in the morning, but sometimes for lunch and at least once per week for dinner. Last night before making a terrific meal (recipe may be revealed tomorrow as I'm making it again tonight and will take pictures) I thought of making pancakes with sliced banana and strawberry. Then I contemplated making french toast and finally settled on the meal that I made. That did not stop me from having a bowl of granola a few hours later.
So with peaked interest I clicked on the link and saw some items from places I had never heard of. It was interesting to see what was considered healthy and from where. I can tell you that I cannot recall the last time I ate a fast food place (by my definition fast food is Jack In The Box, McDonald's, Burger King, IHOP, etc.)
Here are the 10 places and items that were considered the healthiest of choices at fast food chains for breakfast along with how to improve each choice:
1. Spinach Florentine Breakfast Wrap (Cosi)
Room for improvement: The fat content is on the high side (since the wrap is made with eggs), so eat low-fat fare throughout the day — or split this hearty pick with a friend.
2. Protein Artisan Snack Plate (Starbucks)
Room for improvement: Along with all that protein and fiber, you get 19 grams of fat. Tip: Eat half of either the honey peanut butter spread or the cheese.
3. Berry Topper Ideal Meal (Jamba Juice)
Room for improvement: Stick to the small (12-ounce) size — larger serving sizes load on the calories.
4. Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (Au Bon Pain)
Room for improvement: The protein content is a bit low: Make it more filling by eating a few nuts or a yogurt on the side.
5. Scrambled Egg Whites, Chicken Sausage, and Fruit (Denny's)
Room for improvement: Order a piece of whole-grain toast (without butter or margarine) to increase the fiber factor, adding about 100 more calories.
6. Fruit & Maple Oatmeal (McDonald's)
Room for improvement: Watching calories? Order it without the brown sugar to save 30 calories. "You won't miss it with all the fruity flavors," Largeman-Roth explains.
7. Simple & Fit Veggie Omelette (IHOP)
Room for improvement: This omelette is made with "egg substitute" (which contains mostly egg whites); if you prefer the real thing, ask your server to substitute egg whites instead.
8. Western Egg White & Cheese Muffin Melt (Subway)
Room for improvement: This pick didn't show up higher on our list because the sodium count is high.
9. Egg White Turkey Sausage Wake-Up Wrap (Dunkin' Donuts)
Room for improvement: This pick tastes rich, but it's small, so it may not keep you full for as long as the egg options higher on our list, Largeman-Roth explains. It's also low in filling fiber, so pair it with a piece of fruit for more fuel.
10. Breakfast Power Sandwich (Panera Bread)
Room for improvement: "This sandwich has a lot of sodium," Largeman-Roth notes. But you can slash 300 milligrams simply by ordering it without the smoked ham.

By Sgt. 1st Class Gail Braymen, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2004 A standing-room-only crowd watched, teary-eyed but smiling, as a Florida Army National Guardsman was ceremoniously retired from military service at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here Feb. 21. Soldiers, civilians and children filled the conference room for the occasion.
Staff Sgt. Dustin Tuller sat at attention in a wheelchair, his Class A uniform trousers neatly folded beneath his left hip and right thigh, as his battalion commander read the official orders retiring him from the Army.
The 28-year-old college student, father of four and infantryman, had both legs amputated after being wounded in an attack in Iraq in December.
Army officials expedited his medical retirement when doctors feared he wouldn't survive his injuries. "I was in a coma when I got my retirement papers," Tuller said. "I wanted to have a retirement ceremony, because I've been in the Army for 10 years. I always wanted to be a soldier.
"If they hadn't retired me, I'd still wear the uniform, even with no legs."
The Company B, 3rd Battalion, 124 Infantry Regiment, soldier was almost killed and two others were injured during a raid in an area of Baghdad that the Army had designated simply "Section 17."
Tuller had just positioned his squad outside a building to provide security during the raid when the soldiers came under fire. It was two days before Christmas.
Weeks later, and 2,000 miles away from the streets of Baghdad, Tuller awoke from a coma in a German hospital. He had been shot four times in his legs and pelvis.
While Tuller was unconscious, doctors had prepared his family for the worst. "We've actually been told twice that he wasn't going to make it," said Tuller's brother, Daniel, an Air Force C-17 transport loadmaster stationed at Charleston Air Force Base, S.C.
Christmas Eve was the first time doctors notified the family they didn't expect Tuller to survive. The second time was 13 days later, when he went into cardiac arrest.
Tuller's prognosis had been so grim, Army officials decided to retire him from military service in a procedure called "imminent death processing." This can be applied when a soldier is expected to die within 72 hours from a medical condition incurred or aggravated in the line of duty.
Imminent death processing allows the Army to retire the soldier, even with fewer than 20 years of service, thus providing additional benefits for the soldier's family.
Tuller served in the Army for a total of nearly 10 years. He entered active duty in 1994 and became Florida Army National Guardsman the day after he was discharged from active duty in 2000.
But, despite his gunshot wounds and resulting complications, including kidney failure, during the flight from Baghdad to Germany, Tuller survived. "I remember some (about the attack)," Tuller said. "I had just gotten done putting my guys in position. I was putting myself in position, and that's when I got shot in the back of the leg. "After the first shot, I went to the ground and started crawling and yelling for a medic. I was looking for a concealed position, but there's not much cover in an urban environment."
The attacker had fired at Tuller from a window in a nearby building. "As the guy was shooting me, I was shooting back," Tuller said. "I shot an entire magazine."
Tuller doesn't remember what happened after the attack in Baghdad. The next thing he does remember is waking up in a hospital in Hamburg, Germany.
Although doctors hadn't yet been forced to remove his legs, Tuller knew his lower body was badly damaged. "I was afraid to even reach down there," he said.
Members of Tuller's family had been by his side almost the entire time he was unconscious. His brother Daniel, sister, Brandie, and wife, Alisha, arrived in Germany just days after the attack and spent almost a month with him there before he was moved here to Walter Reed.
"When my wife came to Germany, she split the children up," Tuller said. "Two went with my parents and two went with her mom."
But everyone -- Daniel, Brandie, Alisha and the couple's children, Dillyn, Zachery, Dammyn and Lexi, his parents David and Linda, and his mother-in-law Tracy Harding was at Walter Reed to help celebrate Tuller's survival.
During the retirement ceremony, Maj. Gen. Walter Pudlowski Jr., the acting deputy director of the Army National Guard, pinned a Purple Heart medal on Tuller's uniform and Lt. Col. Thad Hill, his battalion commander, pinned on his Combat Infantryman Badge.
Command Sgt. Maj. A. Frank Lever III, the command sergeant major of the Army National Guard, presented Tuller with several items, including a flag and several commemorative coins.
Officials at the ceremony gave the Tuller children a collection of Army National Guard games, comic books and other materials.
Dillyn, the eldest, eagerly opened a pack of Army National Guard trading cards and flipped through them, excitedly calling to his parents when he found one with a picture of a soldier wearing a desert camouflage uniform and Kevlar helmet. "Look!" he said, grinning. "It looks like Dad!"
Like many amputees, Tuller experiences "phantom pain" in his missing limbs. "Man, my feet hurt," he said quietly, closing his eyes and lowering his head. But after a brief pause, he continued explaining what medical procedures still lie ahead.
It's too soon yet for physical therapy and for doctors to start fitting him with prosthetics, he said. "I still have bandages and open wounds."
Before his unit left Florida in January 2003, Tuller was a student at Pensacola Junior College, preparing for a career as a physical education teacher. He's been away from school for more than a year, and it will be several more months before he's released from Walter Reed and can return home to Pace, Fla.
But the interruption in his life and physical changes in his body haven't changed his plans. "I'm going back to school," Tuller said firmly, "and I'm going to be a physical education teacher."
(By Army National Guardsman Sgt. 1st Class Gail Braymen is assigned to the National Guard Bureau, Arlington, Va.)

Towards Promoting Biliteracy and Academic Achievement: Educational Programs for High School Latino English Language Learners
Ochoa, Alberto M., Cadiero-Kaplan, Karen, High School Journal
The Latino student presently faces many obstacles to achieve educational equity and excellence at the high school level. This article examines academic programming for Latino middle and high school English language learners (ELLs) and provides recommendations for addressing programming that promotes biliteracy policy and programming as a valued outcome for academic and life success.
One of the largest high school districts in California was selected to evaluate middle and high school programs for Latino ELLs. Eight quality indicators were used to assess the services to Latino ELLs. The study was guided by two research questions focusing on services to Latino ELLs to support and develop biliteracy development and competence. The findings revealed that while the school district has the capacity and personnel to provide pedagogically sound programs to Latino ELLs, the district is lacking the consistency and academic rigor needed to provide equal educational access. The results suggest the need for a language policy that is supportive of additive language programs that have multiliteracy as an educational standard.
Today, many public schools continue to treat Latino students as second class citizens and fail to nurture their bicultural educational development. Maintaining a free and open democracy demands that we actively pursue equity and excellence for Latino youth--two values that require vision, resources, high biliteracy standards, accountability, public policy commitment, and community responsibility (Kozol, 1991; Macedo & Bartolome, 1999; Mc Caleb, 1994). At the secondary school level, the education of middle and high school Latino students is characterized by two restricting problems: academic access to the core curriculum and access to college. Our public schools are stratified institutions in which some students are provided with "high status" knowledge that yields social and economic control. Others are relegated to a second class citizenship both within our K-12 public school system and in the larger society (Barrera, 1988; Darder, 1995; Espinosa & Ochoa, 1992; Kitchen, 1990; Oakes, 1985; Ochoa, 1995).
This article begins by providing an overview of the demographics of the population considered, the current factors that inhibit academic achievement of Latinos whose first language is Spanish, and an overview of bilingual programming models. The second part of the article outlines the key aspects of our study approach to document programming for this student population in one high school district. We conclude by identifying eight salient findings and recommendations that have begun to be engaged in the school district studied. Both the methodology and outcomes have applicability to other schools and districts serving significant numbers of Latino ELLs and other language minority students.
Factors Inhibiting Academic Attainment
An analysis of demographic characteristics of California K-12 students by the California Labor Department indicates that since 1985, there has been an increase of over 100% in the number of English language learners (ELLs) in California (CBEDS, 2003). There are now over 1.6 million students whose first language is not English. It is estimated that these numbers will increase to 3 million students by 2010, with over 80% of students coming from Spanish speaking backgrounds. As a result, by the year 2010 school communities that serve this increasing Latino ELL student population, which will become the majority in our school communities, will need to have in place programs that serve this population. This includes the hiring of qualified bilingual credentialed teachers. Bilingual teachers are those who are fluent in English and another language.

The announcement to create New York City Football Club as the next Major League Soccer expansion franchise elicited positive responses from across the city and country.
However, the Borough Boys, a supporters club whose mission is to "assist in bringing a top flight soccer club to New York City," and to, "dedicate themselves to supporting the club and representing the fans in club and league affairs," has announced their opposition to NYCFC.
The group released a statement on Friday, saying that while they are happy there will be a club within the five boroughs, they disagree with the Manchester City ownership group's goals for investing in MLS.
"While we always desired an MLS franchise, what we never desired was being forced to accept a foreign club's world wide branding ambitions, using New York City as a vehicle to promote a separate soccer club abroad," wrote the Borough Boys in the statement. "The news that Manchester City will be establishing a new MLS expansion franchise, using "synergies", cross promotion and color schemes of the parent club can only be described as disheartening."
In turn, the supporters club has decided to back the New York Cosmos in NASL this season and beyond.
"Over the past three years, we have been working closely with the New York Cosmos, in part because we felt they were the best choice for MLS expansion and in part because they demonstrated a commitment to being an authentic New York club, a club that was born of New York, made its history in New York, and a club who's very iconic status in this great city attracted countless members to the Borough Boys."
What do you make of this statement? Do you see NYCFC struggling to recruit fans?

It was my way of distinguishing between my two grandmothers. Simple ways, like who was the mother to which of my parents were way too hard for me to keep track of, so I went with color. I'm not actually biracial, unless you count agnostic and Catholic, and I'm sure some people would. The White Grandma had blond hair. The Black Grandma had black.
I spent a lot more time with the Black Grandma compared to the White one. The Black Grandma was my mom's mom, and she lived close by. When my mom wanted to go hang out with family and the house was empty at home, that's where we hung out. My mom, an aunt or two and my grandma would sit around the kitchen table drinking coffee. My mom didn't smoke, but my aunt and grandma did, so being the curious type, there was at least one occasion I remember where I reached my toddler finger out to touch the cherry red tip of one of those cigarettes. That's when I learned that smoking sucks.
I remember a lot of other stuff.
My first memory ever is of the white shag rug in the Black Grandma's living room that I became intimately familiar with while I was learning to crawl.
When my parents went on vacation far away, I stayed with my grandma while my older siblings stayed at home. My parents would send me mail "par avion" (FANCY!) and leave little treats for me, one for each day they were gone, which she would dole out to me while we whiled away the days.
Maybe TMI, but she had survived breast cancer in the 1960′s, and had a partial mastectomy as a result. Have you any idea how FASCINATING it is to a four or five year old that their grandmother keeps an extra prosthetic breast in their night table drawer? I assure you…FASCINATING. I would sneak in her room, slide open the drawer, poke it, then run back out. I'm sure she knew. She had to have known. So ridiculous.
I loved her pool. I didn't love to swim in it, but I loved to hang out at the ladder and pick the teeny tiny tiles off the cement, a naughtiness for which I was inexplicably never punished.
Her back deck was always stained red, and when I walked around on it barefoot, it stained my feet too.
She always had ice cream bars in her stand alone freezer in the laundry room. That same room was connected to the garage by a door that had a doggie door just big enough that I was sent through it a handful of times when we were otherwise locked out.
She loved to garden. Her garden was in her back yard, and when I was small I remember the treacherous climb in and out of that garden. The slope was so steep I could barely make it. I went and found it in the yard several years ago and couldn't believe how skewed my memory of that place was. It was so much closer to the house than I remembered and the slope…well…I've seen steeper handicapped ramps.
All over the house were needle points she had completed and hung. If she wasn't doing needle point, she was doing cross word puzzles. The easy ones were way too easy for her, so I got to make a huge mess of them with my elementary school vocabulary.
She loved listening to KGO radio in her car and on the little radio she kept in her kitchen, specifically Jim Eason, and she loved Upstairs, Downstairs and M*A*S*H.
A few times, she took me with her to the commissary at Moffett Field to do her shopping, just the two of us. I never understood why she wanted to drive so far to get groceries, but she did it all the time.
Until I got my driver's license, she would pick me up from high school, and I would spend the afternoons napping on her couch and watching TV until my mom could swing by to grab me on her way home from work. Some days it was a long wait. Those years I gave her a mother's day card along with one for my mom.
One of the times she picked me up, I saw she had a pack of cigarettes in her car, surprising since she had quit many years before. Unsurprisingly, she had only bought them because she had a coupon. Even she thought it was funny. She smoked them like a sneaky high schooler, and I never saw her do it again.
She had no pretence, at least not to me. It makes me laugh to think about stuff like how she would back up to a corner of a book case and rub her back on it to scratch an itch, or how we would come over to her house to discover that she had single-handedly rearranged all the furniture in her living room just for fun.
She *did* keep her apples in the fridge, which rendered them inedible, but this we shall let pass.
I loved how she and my grandpa always referred to me as "the baby" long after I stopped being a baby to anyone, and how
I grew up wearing her Sicilian skin. Four days into every summer, I can take one look at Large and know that he wears it too.
I hadn't seen much of her at all the last few years, though I did get to see her on Friday. She was sleeping, but I'm sure she knew, just like she knew about the poking the fake boob thing. On Sunday, she was gone. I hadn't thought about or remembered all the absurd and fun stuff we did together in a LONG time. I'm so glad I remember now.

Now I know where all those tiles went! I always wondered about that. The Drumsticks in the freezer were always my fav! :)
I'm so sorry. :-(
This was a nice way to remember her.
I'm sorry for your loss. Grandmas are pretty special, and a lot of what you said reminded me of my grandmas, especially the parts about staying with her while your parents were traveling.
The details are different but the magic of grandmas is the same. Thank you for making me think of mine.
Hi, nice site you have here! Keep up the excellent work!

Offenses set tone in Week 1 of NJCAA Football season
Week 1 of the 2014 NJCAA Football season saw several teams flex their muscles offensively as seven out of the 10 games on the schedule were decided by 20 points or more. The weekend also saw two historic powers take their first step towards contending for a national championship.
Top 20 Rankings – Week 1 (Same as Preseason)
The first regular season poll of 2014 will be released Wednesday, Sept. 3rd.

Highlights from Week 1's Top Matchups
Navarro became the first team in the nation to land a signature win after outscoring No. 5 Georgia Military 50-30 Saturday. After carrying the ball just 24 times as a freshman, running back Ke'aun Kinner (right) establishing himself as a workhorse for the No. 8 Bulldogs. The Navarro sophomore has 31 carries on the afternoon, compiling 148 yards and three touchdowns. Navarro sophomore quarterback Carson Earp completed 17-of-25 passes for 195 yards, scoring two touchdowns through the air and another on the ground. Sophomore wide receiver Austin Collins also showcased his playmaking abilities for the Bulldogs, catching four passes for 91 yards and three touchdowns. Navarro jumped out to an early 21-0 lead in the first half before Georgia Military was able to get on the board. Despite leading 29-6 at halftime, Navarro lost four fumbles in the final two quarters and allowed the opposing Bulldogs to cut their deficit to 36-30 with just under seven minutes to go. Coming through down the stretch however, Navarro scored two touchdowns in the final six minutes to put the game out of reach. Navarro will be back in action next week at home against Cisco, while Georgia Military will try to regroup with a bye week.
It didn't take long for No. 12 Arizona Western to send a message to the country that the Matadors are back and ready to contend for a national title. Opening up the season with a 45-10 win over New Mexico Military, Arizona Western dominated from start to finish on both sides of the ball. Running backs Demi Ayoola and Darrell Monroe (bottom, #32) led the Matador offensive. Ayoola had 21 carries for 131 yards, while Monroe rushed eight times for 92 yards and two touchdowns. Arizona Western sophomore quarterback Cid Camanse-Stevens threw two touchdown passes in the first half, totaling 126 yards on 9-of-19 passing for the evening. The Matadors' defensive effort was spearheaded by sophomore linebacker Antonio Kindard who racked up a game-high nine tackles.
Dakota-Bottineau kicked off their inaugural season in the MCAC on the right foot with a 22-9 victory over Minnesota West. Relying on a stout defense that held the Bluejays to just 149 yards of total offense, Dakota-Bottineau utilized their rushing attack to keep Minnesota West at arm's-length. The Lumberjacks' 193-yard rushing performance was led by running back J.R. Bass. The freshman ran for 65 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. With the Lumberjacks holding on to a 16-7 advantage, freshman defensive back Josh Best (bottom, #28) intercepted a pass and took it 48 yards for a touchdown – sealing the win for Dakota-Bottineau.

The meeting between the two countries is the first since a previous friendly in Dublin was abandoned when England followers started rioting at Lansdowne Road.
Hodgson believes the England support has improved vastly in recent times, but the FA is concerned about alleged misbehaviour in the recent World Cup qualifier in San Marino.
"As much as we all want to win, respect for the game and for our opponents is paramount," Hodgson said in his programme notes for Wednesday's match at Wembley.
"This game is no different and I strongly urge everyone in the ground to show each other respect and not to chant songs that could be regarded as insulting to others - particularly from a religious or political perspective.
"I hope everyone bears that in mind, and every time we come to support our national team.
"In my time as England manager the support this team has received at home and abroad has been nothing short of fantastic."

Psychological Usability Heuristics
I recently read an article regarding psychological usability heuristics. Not only was the article informative but the author created a Google document containing 10 heuristic categories each filled with useful heuristics.
I decided I wanted to organize these heuristics into a reference poster in PDF (366k) and web format (please use a modern browser).
The image below represents my efforts. Please feel free to download and distribute.
