Abstract: In globalizing competitive markets knowledge exchange between business organizations requires incentive mechanisms to ensure tactical purposes while strategic purposes are subject to joint organization and other forms of contractual obligations. Where property of knowledge (e.g. patents and copyrights) and contractbased knowledge exchange do not obtain network effectiveness because of prohibitive transaction costs in reducing uncertainty, we suggest a robust model for peer produced knowledge within a distributed setting. The peer produced knowledge exchange model relies upon a double loop knowledge conversion with symmetric incentives in a network since the production of actor specific knowledge makes any knowledge appropriation by use of property rights by the actors irrelevant. Without property rights in knowledge the actor network generates opportunity for incentive symmetry over a period of time. The model merges specific knowledge with knowledge from other actors into a decision support system specific for each actor in the network in recognition of actor role differences. The article suggests a set of 9 static and 5 dynamic propositions for the model to maintain symmetric incentives between different actor networks. The model is proposed for business networks.

Shollo, Arisa (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This Ph.D. thesis is concerned with the role of the business intelligence (BI) output in organizational decision-making processes. The primary focus of this thesis is to investigate how this BI output is employed and deployed by decision-makers to shape collective judgement and to reach organizational decisions. Concerning the role of the BI output in decision-making the BI literature is characterized by normative ideas of how the BI output should be used in decision-making and how it can enable people to make better decisions. Most previous work has concerned methods and technologies to collect, store and analyze BI. It has also, assumed a rational approach to decision making where data from information systems are used to inform decisions either by reducing uncertainty, ambiguity or complexity. This study attempts to establish knowledge about the role of the BI output in the IT project prioritization process of the Group IT of the Danske Bank Group. Hence, the starting point of this thesis is a 16-month long interpretive study from March 2010 till July 2011 during which I observed the prioritization process and collected various forms of data. I use a rich dataset built from this longitudinal study of the IT project prioritization process in Group IT where thematic analysis is used to analyze the data. Overall, the study operates under the interpretive paradigm, which assumes that the world and knowledge are socially constructed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8664

The Role of External Knowledge Sources and Organizational Design in the Process of Opportunity ExploitationFoss, Nicolai J.; Lyngsie, Jacob; Zahra, Shaker A. (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Research highlights the role of external knowledge sources in the recognition of strategic opportunities, but is less forthcoming with respect to the role of such sources during the process of exploiting or realizing opportunities. We build on the knowledge-based view to propose that realizing opportunities often involves significant interactions with external knowledge sources. Organizational design can facilitate a firm's interactions with these sources, while achieving coordination among organizational members engaged in opportunity exploitation. Our analysis of a double-respondent survey involving 536 Danish firms shows that the use of external knowledge sources is positively associated with opportunity exploitation, but the strength of this association is significantly influenced by organizational designs that enable the firm to access external knowledge during the process of exploiting opportunities.

CPH Kids and Danish Children's FashionCsaba, Fabian Faurholt; Larsen, Frederik (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: During the Copenhagen Fashion Week A/W 2010, CPH Kids opened as the first independent trade fair for children's clothing. Despite considerable resistance, the fair managed to establish itself and challenge the established order by providing a venue devoted fully to children's clothing and luring away exhibitors and visitors looking for change. In this paper, we analyze the dynamic development and distinctive traits of the children's clothing sector symbolized at the new fair. Our study contributes to inquiry into the role of fairs and festivals in the creative industries by examining the special case of coinciding, competing trade fairs. We introduce and build on three closely related, but in our view complementary, concepts applied and developed in analyses of festivals, trade shows and other kinds of temporary, usually competitive events, namely tournament rituals, field configuring events and tournaments of value. We establish the common ground of the three approaches, particular their assertion of the rich research potential and vital significance of festivals, fairs and similar events for many fields, whether deemed creative or not. We also single out particular strengths of each approach, which inform our inquiry. They review of theory, points to how existing work has explored fairs as arenas of conflict between exhibitors as well as the rivalry between events separated in time and/or place. In our case, we demonstrate how the emergence of a rival fair both incites and exposes division or segmentation of a field. This observation in our view, challenges prevailing understandings of the relationship between fields and the events, we assume represent and shape them. We argue that it is more complicated than extant theory suggests, and this has implications for the analysis of the fairs and to their role in configuring field. We raise questions about the precise manner in and extent to which events configure field, and point to the agency of event organizers, the fair context and the fair as medium as factors that need to be factored in. The reflections on the field configuring capacity of fairs and similar event, inform our explorations of Danish childrenswear. Following the tournament of value-approach, we place values – more specifically how different values are affirmed and negotiated at the fairs – at the center of our analysis. The approach suggests, that symbolic value, and ultimately the (economic) value exchange value, of cultural products are established through judgments of their technical/material, social, situational, appreciative and utility values. However, we do not focus as much on specific evaluative practices in the field, as the cultural values and norms around which childhood is constructed. These values are vital for the field of children's clothing, so we address contemporary concerns about childhood placing a particular emphasis on the Nordic context with its the notion of "the competent child". While our analysis only offers only selected snapshots of the many activities at the two fairs, we have pointed to some of the ways in which positions are staked, values are addressed, forms of capital built and exchanged, and different field configuring mechanisms operate. We conclude, that while further research is required to gauge the field configuring impact of CPH Kids and explore the values, identities and structures of Danish children's fashion in more depth, our investigation points to the field dividing impact that fairs might have.

The Role of Knowledge Embeddedness in the Process of Creation of Synergies in International Strategic AlliancesBernhard Nielsen, Bo (København, 2001)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper develops a conceptual model, based on a structural equation approach, for empirically investigating the role played by relational embeddedness in the process of creation of synergies of knowledge related capabilities in international strategic alliances. The theoretical model identifies an underlying latent construct; knowledge embeddedness and its antecedents: complementarity, compatibility, tacitness, trust, protectiveness, coordination, and cultural distance, which needs to be explicitly recognized and integrated in the theory of creation of synergies in international strategic alliances. While the individual importance of most of these variables has long been recognized in both strategic alliance and social exchange literature, their simultaneous effects have thus far been ignored. Embeddedness is hypothesized to be a full mediator of these effects on creation of synergies. Furthermore, alliance longevity, absorptive capacity, network capacity, and collaborative know-how are proposed to moderate these effects. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6547

Hougaard, Jens Leth; Tjur, Tue; Østerdal, Lars Peter (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Discrete choice experiments are widely used in relation to health care. A stream of recent literature therefore aims at testing the validity of the underlying preference axioms of completeness and transitivity, and detecting other preference phenomena such as unstability, learn- ing/tiredness effects, ordering effects, dominance, etc. Unfortunately there seems to be some confusion about what is actually being tested, and the link between the statistical tests performed and the relevant underlying model of respondent behaviour has not been explored in this literature. The present paper tries to clarify the notions involved and discuss what can be tested in a general frequency of choice frame- work and more specifically in a random utility model.

Becker, Markus C.; Knudsen, Thorbjørn (København, 2001)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Under conditions of pervasive uncertainty, increasing the "amount" of information will not necessarily decrease uncertainty. Perhaps more information will even increase uncertainty. Since information may be valuable, even under conditions of pervasive uncertainty, this amounts to a puzzle. Its solution seems to hold the promise of understanding how decisionmakers actually go about reducing uncertainty in its more pervasive forms and is therefore at the center of attention in the present article. It is hypothesized that the role of routines in decision-making provides the key to solve the "information puzzle." Drawing on data from 56 companies, the argument is supported by empirical tests employing path analysis by linear structural equations modeling. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6907

The Role of Socio-technical Devices in Framing the Framing the Current Strategies Issues and Future States of the Service MarketTryggestad, Kjell (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to inquire into the role of socio-technical devices like value metrics and accounting in organizing the service market. The authors provide a case on how such devices participates in framing the market for transportation during the introduction of large-scale bridges. In addition to the traditional role of accounting as a representation device, the authors also show how these devices participate in performing the service economy – undermining and redrawing organizational boundaries in unexpected ways. The presence of multiple connections with socio-technical devices are then brought into an explanation of the overflowing and reconfiguration of the transportation market.

Drivers for influenceBeckmann, Suzanne C.; Jalving, Michala; Rohde Olsen, Sarah (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The role of marketing within companies and organisations has been discussed for a long time, as well as its opportunities for influence – not least in times of financial constraints and difficult economic contexts. Through in-depth interviews we investigated how nine Danish top executives see the marketing department's potential for influence within companies in general and in their specific organisations. The objective was to gain deep insight into the informants' experiences with marketing and its position within Danish companies and to relate this insight to the level of market orientation. We found strong similarities with other research into the antecedents of marketing's influence and established another key factor, namely employee competencies and thereby the responsibility of human resource management as well as a cultural moderator, namely creativity bias of marketing employees.

Case Studies of Two VendorsRiis, Philip Holst; Beringer, Joerg; Winther, Jacob (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper examines the concept of role-‐oriented enterprise systems by investigating motivations for and approaches to constructing and reflecting predefined organizational roles in user interfaces of packaged enterprise systems. The research is conducted as case studies of Microsoft and SAP, constructed from interviews, documents, and examples of role-‐oriented enterprise system packages from both vendors. The research indicates that the primary motivation of the vendors for including predefined roles is to complement a function-‐centric approach with a user-‐centric approach to the design of user interfaces of enterprise systems. The research furthermore identifies strategies of an embedded and an independent approach to modeling the role concept and a unified and a componentized approach to reflecting role aggregation in user interfaces.

Standards of Civilization in the Development of International Financial OrdersSeabrooke, Leonard (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The use of a 'standard of civilization', a preferred form of socio-political organization, in global capital markets presents both constraints and opportunities for creditors and borrowers. When imposed, civilizing standards may change how a borrower would prefer to conduct their affairs. Creditors, after all, do not have the time and money to check every little detail and want clear performance benchmarks in economic life. At the same time, borrowers may present themselves as conforming to a civilizing standard to access capital and give themselves a greater capacity to conduct their own affairs. As long as they stay within the parameters of legitimate financial practice to signal institutional isomorphism, the 'groove', creditors may well allow borrowers room for change in self-determined ways. This paper maps out the historical and conceptual terrain concerning civilizing ideas about the legitimacy of financial practices within global capital markets, and investigates relationships between Western 'civilizers' and Emerging Market Economies during the last two periods of financial globalization, the late-nineteenth/ early-twentieth centuries and the late-twentieth century.

Recent developments and dependencies on prices/taxesla Cour, Lisbeth; Milhøj, Anders (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In the following we will analyse the sale of alcohol in Denmark. Various figures related to this question are published by Statistics Denmark at different frequencies. Our main concern will be with quarterly data for the sale of beer, wine and spirits from the period 1990 – 2004. Our two hypotheses are: First we want to convince the reader that the total sale of alcohol in Denmark since 1980 has been fairly stable. By total sale we mean the total sale of 100% alcohol so the three categories – beer, wine and spirits are measured in litres of 100% alcohol equivalents. In order to convince the reader that the total sale of alcohol has been fairly constant we will present graphs and various indicators and tests of the degree of temporal dependence in this series. The overall impression from this analysis is that our first hypothesis seems to be supported – at least not contradicted – by the data. Next, we want to model the sale of beer and wine as shares of the total sale of alcohol. Even though the total sale can be considered fairly stable there have been divergent paths of evolvement for the sub-groups: the sale of beer has decreased over the period and the sale of wine has increased. The sale of spirits has been fairly stable. Modelling the system of the beer-share and the wine-share we want to split the total development into a part that can be ascribed to changes in the relative prices and a part that can be explained by changes in taste and drinking habits specified as a trend. By specifying a system conditionally on the prices of beer, wine and spirits and a trend we manage to estimate price sensitivity and taste sensitivity. A small forecasting exercise shows that the final model is fairly good at predicting changes in the shares due to price changes. Finally, the effects on the market shares of hypothetical changes in the taxation of alcohol are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7532

Teacher Quotes
Nat King Cole:
Get Your Kicks on Route 66!
Dalai Lama:
I believe an important distinction can be made between religion and spirituality. Religion I take to be concerned with faith in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition or another. Spirituality I take to be concerned with qualities of the human spirit, love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of harmony, that bring happiness both to self and others.
Shunryu Suzuki-Roshi:
True practice is beyond our joy or understanding.
- Joe & Russ at Soto Zen Priests Association meeting, held at Great Vow Monastery, Oct. 2010
Myogen Steve Stucky and Ryushin Paul Haller, co-abbots of San Francisco Zen Center:
Our bodhisattva vow is to include all beings, and our expression of this vow means to go beyond inherited cultural patterns. We recognize that biases inherent in American culture are a karmic legacy that needs to be acknowledged and overcome if we are to become a sangha that truly reflects the boundless wisdom and compassion of all buddhas.
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche:
I don't see any particular problems in working with others. Just go ahead. Push yourself harder. Sometimes you find that you don't like someone that you are trying to work with. But if you look behind their facade, you see that the person is, in fact, quite lovable. They do possess the primordial dot.
When you first talk to them, you might find them completely off-putting and irritating. You wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole. But gradually, your pole becomes shorter. You begin to do a double-take. You might even begin to like them. The point here is that you have to push harder, and then there's no problem at all. You might be working with someone who is completely untrustworthy, but that doesn't matter. Trust begins with trusting in yourself, your dot, and your commitment.
You have to work hard to help others, directly, without even wearing rubber gloves to clean up their vomit. You're not like an employer who is interviewing potential employees to decide which ones to hire. We are going to help others, regardless of their workability.
Zoketsu Norman Fischer:
[B]eing happy by covering over life's sorrows – impermanence and loss – is not a good way to be happy, because those things have a way of catching up to you.
Ryushin Paul Haller:
"Wherever you are, you belong right there … This is your life; this is what you are; this is what's happening."
Shunryu Suzuki-Roshi:
"If you continue this simple practice every day, you will obtain some wonderful power. Before you attain it, it is something wonderful; but after you attain it, it is nothing special."
Dalai Lama:
There is much we can do to influence our experience of suffering. Old age, sickness, and death are inevitable; but, with the torments of negative thoughts and emotions, we certainly have a choice in how we respond to the occurrence of suffering. If we wish, we can adopt a more dispassionate and rational approach, and on that basis we can temper our response to it.
Shunryu Suzuki-Roshi:
Nothing we see or hear is perfect. But right there in the imperfection is perfect reality.
Dainen Anshin:
In reality, you may actually fail at any endeavor that's big enough and challenging enough to be worth your time and energy. And often the lessons learned from failure are invaluable – they are the ones you could not learn any other way.
Zoketsu Norman Fischer:
As we all know, we can think about changing our emotional lives for a thousand years and nothing will change. But as soon as we sit and breathe, opening the field of awareness somatically, we have a different – and wiser – access to what is within us.
Shunryu Suzuki-Roshi:
[Our Zen forms are] not the means of obtaining right state of mind. To take this posture itself is our purpose or practice. It is not some means of obtaining some special state of mind. When you have this posture, you have right state of mind. So there is no need to obtain some special state of mind.
Excerpts from Joe's Priest Ordination

Hunting above Carbon and Emery County on Manti Unit
According to Lieutenant Carl Gramlich, most hunters are seeing bucks. No complaints about having to stay in a single unit. Not many deer were taken, but most hunters want to make use of the entire hunting season and are very discriminating about how big a buck they are going to harvest. They are holding out for the biggest buck on the mountain and don't want to end the almost four week hunting season early.
Hunting above Moab in the LaSal Mountains
Conservation Officer Tj Robertson says that he didn't hear any complaints about the number of bucks hunters were seeing. He reported that hunters reported seeing a lot of small bucks. A few bucks have already been taken.
Hunting above Monticello and Blanding in Blue Mountains
Conservation Officer Dennis Shirley said that almost everybody saw deer and almost everyone was able to take a shot. A lot of younger bucks were taken. He received a lot of compliments from out-of-state hunters about the number of deer they saw, but also received some complaints from residents about the number of deer they saw. The deer population is good, according to Shumway.

Hospitality Outreach Event Draws 150 Students to LA Live
December 11, 2012
By Diana Garcia
One hundred and fifty students from eight local high schools got an exclusive opportunity to learn about careers in the hospitality industry and how to pursue higher education during a recent outreach event at LA Live. The Collins College of Hospitality Management at Cal Poly Pomona, the CSU's Hospitality Management Education Initiative (HMEI) and the California Restaurant Association Educational Foundation hosted the event.
Experience Hospitality: The Los Angeles High School Summit 2012 started Nov. 27 on the rooftop terrace of Staples Center with a keynote address from partner and executive chef of Yard House Restaurants, Carlito Jocson.
"It was all about inspiring," Jocson said. "If you inspire them and they go and put forth the effort to do their best, good things will happen."
Jocson shared a story about the challenges he faced immigrating to Southern California from the Philippines as a child. His childhood was marked with the feelings of being an outsider, but he came from a loving home where cooking together was a priority. His parents gave him exposure to many ethnic cuisines that he still draws on to this day. Students and teachers alike were moved by his passion for food, family and his faith.
"I have a Filipino student in my ProStart program who saw and heard something today that changed him," said Donnetha Wallace, culinary arts instructor at Blair High School in Pasadena. "Now he can stand proud as a young person who wants to become a chef."
The daylong event introduced students to the full range of CSU hospitality management programs. Students, faculty and staff from Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Northridge, San Diego State and Cal Poly Pomona's Collins College provided information about their programs, leaving students with the understanding that an education from the CSU can lead to significant opportunities in the hospitality industry.
Later, the students went on tours of the Nokia Theatre, Staples Center, the JW Marriott hotel and Katsuya, a downtown Japanese restaurant. A networking lunch with the city's leading industry professionals wrapped up the day overlooking the Lakers basketball court in the San Manuel Lounge of Staples Center. The luncheon featured about three dozen executives from the JW Marriott, Hard Rock Café, Hilton Worldwide, Levy Restaurants, The Daily Grill, Marriott Bonaventure, Visit California, PKF Consulting, Sysco, Fairmont, the L.A. Tourism and Convention Board, and more.
Paulina Hurtado, a sophomore from the Applied Technology Center, a college-oriented high school in Montebello, said she benefited from the experience and is excited about pursuing a college career in hospitality.
"This was a really great opportunity because it gave us a chance to talk to these professionals that we wouldn't have on our own," she said.
The California Hotel & Lodging Association Educational Foundation and Levy Restaurants, which provides the food and beverage management for Staples Center and the Nokia Theater, sponsored the event.
"Experience Hospitality was made possible because all of our organizations and sponsors believe in the power of education and the need to equip young people with the tools to pursue a college education," said Erin Mascho, HMEI program coordinator. "I hope that the students not only saw a few glamorous venues, but also understood how they could one day lead those venues if they go to college."
Diana Garcia is the communications assistant for HMEI and a Cal Poly Pomona Communications/Public Relations class of 2012 graduate.

In many cases myocarditis improves, either on its own or with treatment, leading to a complete recovery. Myocarditis treatment focuses on treating the underlying cause.
In mild cases, your doctor may tell you to rest and may prescribe medications to help your body fight off the infection causing myocarditis while your heart recovers. If bacteria are causing the infection, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. Although antiviral medications are available, they haven't proven effective in the treatment of most cases of myocarditis.
Certain rare types of viral myocarditis, such as giant cell and eosinophilic myocarditis, respond to corticosteroids or other medications to suppress the immune system response. In some cases caused by chronic illnesses, such as lupus, the treatment is directed at the underlying disease.
If myocarditis is causing heart failure or rapid or irregular heartbeats as a symptom, your doctor may hospitalize you. You may receive drugs to regulate your heartbeat. If your heart is weak, your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce your heart's workload or help you eliminate excess fluid. These medications may include:
In some severe cases of myocarditis, aggressive treatment may be necessary, such as:
In the most severe cases, doctors may consider urgent heart transplantation.
Some people may have chronic and irreversible damage to the heart muscle requiring lifelong medications, while other people need medications for just a few months and then recover completely.

Would be way better if we could have had points for a tie though. Don't really see the need for an eliminator when it's a round robin game.
Anyway, good recovery by our bowlers/terrible batting by WI. Problem is of course our batting from 6 down, plus Nicol, is crap, so if WI get early wickets they'll still be in with a decent chance.
The difference between England and NZ's NRR is literally about 6 runs.
If you add 6 runs to England's Against element the run rate suffers by 0.15. Which is almost the gap between the two sides.
So winning by 5-6 balls, maybe 3-4 balls if you passed the total by extra runs should eliminate net run-rate as a factor. Barring weird D/L adjustments.

On September 12, 2011, when Ryan Callahan was named the 27th and youngest captain in New York Rangers history, it was nearly impossible to imagine that a mere two-and-a-half years later, he would be engulfed in serious trade rumors.
The Rochester, NY native has endeared himself to the Rangers fanbase with his heart-and-soul play on the ice and appreciative demeanor off it.
Callahan's gentlemanly persona, willingness to spend time with the fans, and media-friendly attitude has made him the perfect captain for New York.
Now, it appears that his captaincy may be coming to an end.

The oil slick covers part of the street and coats dead leaves between 500 and 600 South Streets.
It wasn't in the same class as the Gulf Oil Spill or the Exxon Valdez disasters, but the five-block flow of oil down south 300 West Street in Price was enough to keep hazmat workers busy long into the night Tuesday.
The used motor oil - estimated at 50 to 100 gallons - was coursing down the gutter on the west side of the street and then disappeared into a storm drain at 600 South.
From there it followed the pipe into the Price River.
Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont said there had been an oil slick on the river last week, but at the time it had been considered to be runoff from city streets after the snowstorm.
The chief added that dumping oil into storm drains is a violation of both state and federal laws. It carries severe penalties.
Bedont said used oil can be taken to auto parts stores or auto maintenance shops to recycling, so there is no need for pouring it into drains.
County emergency services coordinator Jason Llewelyn said the spill was reported Tuesday by a school crossing guard who noticed that Creekview Elementary kids were walking through it.
The hazmat team deployed special oil-absorbent booms to halt the flow. A detergent was used to emulsify the oil for easier cleanup.
The oil was mostly contained to within a foot of the curb, but in some places where the channel was obstructed by leaves and twigs, the water-borne oil spread out into the street.
Price City workers used a vacuum truck to remove the oil from the storm drain.
Remediation efforts were finished by about 8 p.m., according to Price City Public Works Director Gary Sonntag.

ALDEN N.Y.- For Alden native Doreen Taylor, it was her love of music at an early age, and her supportive family, that allow for a musical career to travel from opera to rock to now country.
Taylor's first solo country CD was released early last year.
Now as she plans a tour to support that effort, Doreen Taylor stopped back home to get a reminder of what allows her to do what she does.

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. -- After a 36-year ban, local lawmakers are considering letting you walk your dog in Glen Park.
In response to some local discussion, Williamsville Village Trustee Christopher Duquin said the Glen Park Joint Board raised the question of whether or not the ban should be lifted.
Chair of the Glen Park Joint Board Peter Warren said the board has not yet taken a position on the issue. He said they plan on discussing it at their upcoming meeting on March 5.
The Village of Williamsville held a public hearing Monday night to let local residents share their opinions on the matter.
"We have a lot of residents in the village that own dogs," Duquin said. "It seems, based on the Facebook page, about 75 percent of people are for allowing dogs in the park, on a leash and making sure the owners clean up after themselves. That leaves about 25 percent that are against it. What we want to know tonight is whether or not that plays out when people come to the public hearing, and what they have to say about it."
Some arguments against lifting the ban included protecting the natural wildlife, keeping the park clean and preserving the area for photography.
Duquin says the village will deliberate on the hearing and make a decision at their next board meeting on March 11.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bellaborukh ivory faux fur throw Absolutely love it, looks very sophisticated and awesome price. November 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cr8zychica super soft I bought this as a compromise-my boyfriend is rugged and outdoorsy while I'm a little more "hippie" (though I prefer boho or global)-for the living room. It was such a hit. He loves this throw and I constantly find him wrapped up in it. He thought for sure it was real fur.l It is very soft and was a great purchase. July 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by liz35 Loved this throw Loved the color and softness of this throw so had my mother get it for me for Christmas. January 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Camille Perfect Throw Nice accent on my bed top. Perfect for a chilly night or pretty for decoration! June 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Genevieve Incredibly soft & luxurious I wanted a pottery barn blanket, then found this one which is almost exact to their model . Half price with the complete top quality. I LOVE this blanket! It's sooo soft and the white colors Are beautiful December 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kaci Sweets Love, love, love I cuddle with it while I watch television. December 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Megan Fantastic Buy. I hunted around for a fur blanket for well over two months until I found this little gem. This blanket is the softest faux fur will ever get compared to the real thing. On top of that it does a wonderful job of imitating the look of real fur as well, the stock photo does not do the blanket justice. The only aspect I would change is the size I found while it was plenty long the throw was a little on the thin side but this seems to be a trend in fur throws in general. Overall I love this blanket and use it on a daily basis from watching tv to playing video games its a staple of the living area. December 15, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Saturday Sleeper Couldn't Love It More If I Tried! I love this blanket so much I can't even stand to use it. I need to get another one so I can use this one without fear of wearing out the only one I have. I can't even describe how much I love it! <3 December 12, 2011

DEGRASSE St. Lawrence County dive master Mark T. Smutz stood on the shore of the Grasse River on Monday, watching his team as it finished another recovery mission.
The divers had just found the body of 21-year-old SUNY Canton student Elliott D. Mullings of Brooklyn.
Ive been doing this for just about 27 years, and I have been to this site at least three times, said Mr. Smutz, of the county Underwater Recovery Team. One time is too many times.
Sheriffs Detective Sgt. Thomas H. Caringi said Monday morning that according to witnesses, the man had ridden down the waterfall on an inner tube, gone under water, resurfaced and then disappeared.
Divers responded Sunday afternoon, searching the black waters of the Grasse River in depths of 5 to 25 feet, Mr. Smutz said.
The dive team, with members from emergency response agencies across St. Lawrence County, does its best to stay focused during rescue and recovery missions, Mr. Smutz said.
We have a great team because everyone comes together, Mr. Smutz said. They leave work and their families for these calls. All the guys and gals here volunteer their services. Nobody gets paid.
He said that especially in searches like the one for Mr. Mullings, it can be difficult to make sure everyone is kept out of harms way.
There are unpredictable eddies where the current turns, and moves back and swirls in a spot. It will hold you up and suck you under, Mr. Smutz said. If you try fighting it, it will hold you in place. So if you try to relax and let the current take you out of that, most of the times it will spit you out and let you go.
The divers face not just physical danger in low visibility, but the emotional trauma of discovering someones loved one, assistant dive master John A. Ashley said.
This bothers a lot of the divers, Mr. Ashley said. Stress comes into play, and we check with our divers to see how they handle a recovery. Everyone handles it a little bit differently.
A stress debriefing team is available in such cases.
Despite the challenges, Mr. Smutz and Mr. Ashley said team members focus on a central goal in all recovery missions.
We try to do the best we can to put the families hearts and minds at ease and give them some closure, Mr. Smutz said.

Each month at Blueshirt Bulletin, we'll pick one player from the Rangers who stood out in recent games and award him with the prestigious title of Blueshirt Bulletin's Bull of the Month. Whether he has been the lone bright spot on the team or one of many, this player will have impressed us with his persistence, consistency, and overall superb play. In short, the Bulletin Bull is the defined difference-maker on the New York Rangers over the course of that month.
November's Bull is: Brad Richards
Stats: 21 GP, 9 G, 10 A, +1, 3 GWG,
League Rank: 30th G, 77th A, 4th, GWG
Highlight Reel: GWG against the Islanders (11/15), GWG/PPG against the Flyers (11/26), Goal Against the Penguins (11/29)
The Case: The difference between the New York Rangers of October and the New York Rangers of November is night and day. Last month, awarding King Henrik the crown for Bull of the Month was virtually a no-brainer; his performance between the pipes was the main reason the Blueshirts started out with any wins at all. Lundqvist has continued his superb play well into November (with some much appreciated help from his reliable and equally as steady backup, Martin Biron), but several other players have stepped up their game as well, providing the Blueshirts with an eruption of offense that is quickly becoming the norm rather than the exception for this team.
Foremost among these players is one who has been buzzed about in Rangerland since well before the season began—a certain coveted centerman by the name of Brad Richards.
When Richards signed a blockbuster nine-year, $60 million contract with the Rangers on July 2nd, the inevitable comparisons to free agency gems-turned-pariahs Chris Drury and Scott Gomez began. However, far from caving under the pressure of the harsh Broadway lights, Richards has already started to flourish in his first season in New York City. His nine goals for the Rangers—second only to Marian Gaborik—puts him on pace for a career-high 35 goals. Though it was originally assumed that Richards would spend his career in New York centering the speedy Gaborik, the two were split up relatively early on, and Richards now plays on a line with former Tampa Bay Lightning linemate Ruslan Fedotenko and New York captain Ryan Callahan. The first line of Gaborik-Anisimov-Stepan has been garnering all of the attention recently, but Fedotenko-Richards-Callahan is really a "second line" only in name.
More important than his total stats, Brad Richards has been the one to step up when his team needs him most. Richards is tied with Gaborik for the team lead with three game winning goals, and tied for second-most in the NHL. In addition to netting the game-winners against Montreal, the Islanders, and most recently against Philadelphia last Saturday, Richards also earned the struggling Rangers a much-needed point with his game-tying goal (and first as a Ranger) against the Ducks in Sweden, as well as earning the primary assist on Dan Girardi's game-winner that sparked a 5-1 rout of the Hurricanes on November 11th at the Garden. On Tuesday night, Richards assisted on Gaborik's game-winning goal against the Penguins, while adding another assist and yet another wicked wrister. Talk about Mr. Clutch.
Coach Tortorella's decision to make Richards and alternate captain has been validated by the creative center's performance on and off the ice. In addition to his clutch on-ice presence, Richards immediately gelled with the rest of the Rangers' locker room, even introducing a new tradition of awarding the "Broadway Hat" to the best player of the game. The ritual became an instant hit among players and fans alike, and has certainly helped to foster a sense of team camaraderie.
The Verdict: Throughout 21 games with the Rangers, Brad Richards is well on his way to earning both his extensive contract and the 'A' on his chest. His three game winning goals demonstrate that valuable ability to be the perennial difference-maker, and his 14 points in the past 13 games show that he is consistently contributing to the team's offense. Richards is a dynamic player with the ability to kick-start the team's offense…and he boasts a dangerously accurate wrist-shot.
"(Richards) is everything we thought we were getting. Maybe even more." – Brandon Dubinsky
"A guy like that has the tendency to step up at the right time, and it's not a coincidence. His focus, I think, is real good when it comes down to the final minutes. When you need that extra something for the big play, he is able to do it." – Henrik Lundqvist
"A player like that rises up to big occasions. He's come up with some big goals to propel us to important leads late in games." – Ryan Callahan
Runners Up: Marian Gaborik and Derek Stepan are deserving of Blueshirt Bulletin's Bull of the Month for November. Gaborik, with his team-leading 11 goals and 19 points, has been the gift that keeps on giving. He has played in all 21 games so far and has not gone more than three games without recording at least a point. Fifth in the league with 85 shots on goal, Gaborik has been an exhilarating offensive presence for the Rangers since day one of the season. Many of his recent highlight-reel goals have come off beautiful passes from sophomore Derek Stepan, who is more than earning his spot as the team's first-line center.

Hey guys i need tips getting away from an enemy using Lightning gun. Other weapons i can avoid and dodge but the lightning gun take me down 90% of the time. Anyways ways to dodge or get away from it
use the corners on map ie. door/pillar/wall/team mate
The strongest dodge is side to side, not as fast as possible but slightly less than that varying to much less than that.
Moving backwards (away from the opponent) is very dangerous and should be used with caution.
Forward is slightly better than back since the opponent has to vary their lg mouse motion speed to be faster to accommodate for the enemy player being closer.
In many situations you simply cannot run away from the lg'ing opponent if you are within a certain range, kind of like the event horizon of a black hole. If you try to get away you will effectively be moving away from the opponent making their prediction very easy.
Either don't get into such a situation in the first place, or fight them outright. If it's clan arena sometimes you can mix shooting them with a rocket and rj'ing away to safety although you have to be careful because if your rocket jump arc is slow, or doesn't place you behind cover quickly the guy can LG you in the air.
Another idea is to discover what kind of dodging works for yourself. Next time you're lg'ing someone and they are trying to get away, ask yourself what would be the most inconvenient thing for them to do? Sometimes the answer is counter-intuitive.
I'd also say improve your LG so you are the hunter, not the prey.
Just don't panic and try getting away by only going in one direction. :D
Panic. Only go left. Very easy to shaft. :)
Lorfa said it, go left, right, left, right, change intervals. Makes aiming harder but also makes surviving easier.
And this from me, someone who can't dodge for sure.
Read that post! :)

Polyglotism or polyglottism[1] is the ability to master, or the state of having mastered, multiple languages.
Numerous theories exist as explanations for polyglotism. For example, it has been recognized that someone who is interested in languages, with a sufficiently developed intellect, and who optimizes their learning technique with experience, will become increasingly efficient as each new language is learned; therefore, such an individual is able to master new languages with less effort than the average person. Also, different languages overlap in the areas of grammar and vocabulary, and this makes it easier to acquire connected languages, such as English and French words, or English and German words.
One theory suggests that a spike in a baby's testosterone levels while in the uterus can increase brain asymmetry,[2] while others have suggested that hard work and the right type of motivation—which any adult can apply—are the key factors of polyglotism.[3] Neuroscientist Katrin Amunts studied the brain of German polyglot Emil Krebs and determined that the area of Krebs' brain that was responsible for language—the Broca's area—was organised differently in comparison to the brains of monolinguals.[4]
Objective criteria[edit]
Due to the advent of computers, linguists obtained a better understanding of what it can mean to "know a language". It is estimated that the most frequently used 2000 words—in all or most of their multiple senses—cover approximately seventy-five to eighty percent of a general text in English and other European languages; such a limited vocabulary also allows one to express more complicated concepts, whereby they are described by means of circumlocutions (e.g. as a rule, 30,000 to 50,000 words in modern English learner's dictionaries are defined with merely 2000 to 3000 defining vocabulary words). On the other hand, a native speaker with an American college education may possess a 25,000- to 30,000-word passive vocabulary—of which various parts can be activated—that increases to possibly 50,000 words, or more, by the age of fifty to sixty years.[citation needed]
It is therefore difficult to objectively judge many claims of polyglotism, because what is ostensibly "fluent speech" can be achieved with the assertive use of a very limited general-purpose or specialized vocabulary.[citation needed]
Polyglot savant[edit]
Savants are typically individuals with significant mental disabilities who demonstrate profound and prodigious capacities and/or abilities far in excess of what would be considered normal,[5][6] including the capacity for languages.
A well-known case of a polyglot savant is that of "Christopher," who participated in studies with Dr. Neil Smith, Ianthi-Maria Tsimpli, and Jamal Ouhalla. Christopher is fluent in approximately sixteen languages and possesses the capacity to acquire new languages very easily, although his representations of the sound systems of these languages is relatively poor and his ability to use language communicatively is highly restrained. Researchers taught him new languages, controlling the methods and exposure, so that they could study his language-learning process and extrapolate the results to determine how most people acquire languages. Christopher was taught two completely new languages: Berber language, a real language spoken in Africa, and Epun, an invented language. Some of Epun's structures and rules were made to violate the parameters of universal grammar, which are hypothesized to underlie all human languages. Christopher was able to learn Berber as easily as he could any other foreign language, but had difficulties learning Epun. For example, he had trouble processing sentences structures that weren't in the S-V-O order. This provided further evidence for the theory that there is a Universal grammar shared by all human languages which defines what is linguistically possible (in terms of word order, syntax, structure, etc.). The researchers applied what they discovered from studying how Christopher learned Berber and Epun to the general process of acquiring an L2 (a language that it is non-native). They conclude that L2 learning consists of transferring familiar rules from one's L1 (native language) to the new language system and of applying the principles of universal grammar.
This research demonstrates the hope that studying extraordinary individuals, such as polyglot savants, will help reveal how humans in general acquire languages.[7]
Christopher learned languages by quickly "devouring" introductory self-teaching books, interacting with native speakers, and receiving explicit instructions. Christopher is also capable of identifying many different languages by looking at their written form, although he cannot speak or translate them. However, with a keen eye and a little bit of training this skill can be relatively easily acquired. For example, Christopher correctly identified Bengali, Chinese, Czech, Gujarati, Icelandic, just to name a few, when shown examples of these languages. This is especially interesting because these languages are from a wide range, both genetically and typologically. However, many of these languages differ largely in aesthetic characteristics of their writing styles, making the task of identification simpler.[8]
While polyglot savants such as Emil Krebs may have anatomical or biological differences that allow them to organize language in a different and more efficient manner, it has also been suggested that the entire language acquisition process for polyglot savants is different from the process most humans undergo. This ability, though, is also seen in individuals with no apparent deficits in any cognitive, linguistic, motor, emotional or other domains, adding further complexity to the picture. It has been proposed that these individuals with unparalleled linguistic abilities undergo the same first language acquisition process over and over again with each new language. Because they are able to consciously or unconsciously learn the pragmatics, grammar, syntax, etc. of a language as if they were learning a language for the first time they are able to acquire it as proficiently as a native speaker. Most humans allow the grammar of previously learned languages to affect and influence their ability to learn a second, third, etc. language. This is an issue that these polyglot savants do not struggle with. This ability may be tied directly to how these individuals organize Broca's area of the brain however; their learning abilities for languages are unparalleled and still not fully understood to this day.[9]
There is still much research that needs to be done regarding the mechanisms through which polyglot savants acquire language. Although it is apparent that polyglot savants, such as Christopher, have amazing linguistic abilities, quite often, their general intellectual ability is impaired. Poor hand–eye coordination, weak problem solving abilities, and social and conversational problems, make every day tasks very difficult for Christopher. This, paired with his incredible ability to process languages, demonstrates the fact that there is still much to learn about the nature of learning new tasks, and how it ties in with learning new languages.[9]

The Scrappies - A series of originally designed small sculptures in scrap metal-look.
The body parts of the Scrappies are inspired by everything that can be found in a scrapyard: Old bolts and nuts, rusty coils, pipes, parts of ball bearings, tin cans, and more.
The figurines are worked out in minute detail, including "rust holes" and traces of an alleged "welding". The scrap metal look gives the characters their own special, irresistible charm.
Height (with stand): 18 cm
The figurines are created in the 3DP process (three-dimensional printing) from steel and bronze, from an aluminium-polyamide composite or from a gypsum-based, full-colored composite.
Products from this series are available as small, medium and large sized figurines; in white, black, colored, in steel, bronze and gold.
The figurines, while still produced by Shapeways, are not available directly through Shapeways, but you can still get one! To locate the nearest store for you, to order one or to enquire about wholesale possibilities, please send an e-mail to email@example.com.

Johannesburg is a sprawling city and the lack of convenient and safe public transport is often an obstacle to visitors. City transport consists of an unreliable bus network and a series of minibus taxi routes, neither of which operate much after dark. The main bus terminus is at Gandhi Square in the city centre, where there are timetables and route maps, but times are rarely accurate. The Gautrain train and bus service is safe and reliable but only stops around Sandton and surrounding suburbs, though it is very useful for getting to and from the airport. The quickest and cheapest way to get around is on a minibus 'taxi', an informal bus service that goes everywhere but has no schedule or formal stops and can be hailed anywhere along its route. However, dangerous driving and overcrowding deter many from using them as a means of transport. If necessary use them for short hops only and never with baggage. Metered taxis are safer but far more expensive. The best way to get around is by private car and there is an excellent network of highways and well-maintained roads. Drivers should keep their windows up and doors locked at all times, never leave anything visible in a parked car, and never stop for hitchhikers.
Electrical current is 230 volts, 50Hz. Round, three-pin plugs are standard.
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into 100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards are widely accepted. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs, as con artists are known to operate there. All commercial banks will exchange foreign currency.
The international access code for South Africa is +27. GSM mobile phone networks providing 900 and 1800 frequencies serve the country, and there are roaming agreements with most international mobile operators. Mobile service providers offer very cheap 'pay-as-you-go' SIM cards, which are a good option for visitors staying for some time. Internet cafes are available. Card and coin operated pay phones are also widespread.

Situated on the Highveld plateau, Johannesburg has a subtropical highland climate with generally mild weather and plenty of sunshine. Between October and April (late spring, summer, and early autumn) it is hot with frequent thunderstorms in the afternoon. Between May and September (late autumn, winter and early spring) it is dry and sunny with cold nights. The sunny winter weather takes the edge off the cold, but after dark it can be freezing. Snow is almost unheard of. The average temperatures in summer, between December and February, range between 58°F (14°C) and 78°F (25°C), and in winter, between June and August, the average temperatures range between 39°F (4°C) and 62°F (16°C). Johannesburg is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit the city is over December and January, when it is hot and sunny and the afternoon storms ensure the city is at its most lush and attractive.
The Gautrain provides fast and easy access to the Johannesburg city centre from the airport, with regular express trains to Sandton. An airport bus departs regularly to the city centre. Authorised shuttle buses and taxis are available; these display the ACSA logo on their vehicles. Hotel shuttle buses depart every 15 minutes from the bus terminal.
Car rental companies represented at the airport include Avis, Budget, Tempest and Europcar.
A metered taxi will take 30-40 minutes to the city centre. Taxis wait opposite the international arrivals terminal (Terminal A). Only official metered taxis with a yellow taxi light should be taken. The cost for a ride to the city centre should cost roughly ZAR 420, but prices do vary.
The terminals are all connected.
Facilities at the airport include bureaux de change, banks, a post office, shops, restaurants and bars, mobile phone rental, viewing decks, a medical clinic and a prayer room.
Short-term parking charges at OR Tambo Airport range from ZAR 20 for the first two hours in Parkade 1, to ZAR 15 for the first hour or ZAR 20 for two hours in Parkade 2. Long-term parking is available in shaded lots and costs either ZAR 65 or ZAR 80 per day. Official long-term parking lots cost just ZAR 45 per day and are connected to the airport via shuttle bus.
Wifi is available throughout the airport via MWEB.

MASSENA The Massena Central School District has made headway on paring down a projected $5.6 million deficit in the 2013-14 budget, but the chairman of the Finance Committee said hard work lies ahead.
Michael J. LeBire told the Board of Education on Thursday night that the committees goal is $2.5 million to $3 million in cuts, and that the current proposal shows an estimated shortfall of $3.2 million.
The committee is looking at a series of cuts, he said.
No specifics on the cuts were presented. Mr. LeBire said the committee is using several criteria, including mandatory versus nonmandatory positions and programs; maintaining programs; maintaining acceptable class sizes; the impact of cuts on students, the district and the community; the cost of a program and the cost per student; maximizing shared services, and eliminating open positions where possible.
The latest projection shows an estimated 2013-14 budget of $48.7 million, up from $46 million this year largely because of increases in salaries, retirement contributions, health insurance and costs for programs and services provided by the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
Personnel is our biggest expense, Mr. LeBire said.
He said salaries will go up 5.2 percent; the contribution to the teacher retirement system will increase as much as 16.3 percent, and the contribution to the employee retirement system will go up as much as 20.9 percent.
Health insurance costs, meanwhile, will increase 6.3 percent, while BOCES costs will rise 5 percent.
This years revenue is $42,046,132. Mr. LeBire said the district is anticipating a 3 percent increase in state aid, or $751,411, and a 5 percent property tax increase would mean $681,288, bringing estimated 2013-14 revenue to $43,478,831.
Mr. LeBire said the district has faced cuts in state aid.
Our aid has gone down over the last three to four years, he said. The impact is that essentially weve lost $6 million because of gap elimination adjustments.
With the original $5.6 million shortfall, Mr. LeBire said, the district would have had to hit taxpayers with a 41.5 percent tax levy increase or cut dozens of teachers and administrators.
The district has 422.8 full-time-equivalent positions, including 211 teachers and 18.8 administrative positions.
The options for closing the gap included spending district reserves, raising taxes or cutting expenses.
By continuing to spend reserve funds, Mr. LeBire said, the district would be out of money by 2016-17.
Property tax increases also cant cover the gap alone, according to the committee chairman.
Board member Leonard A. Matthews suggested moving eighth-grade students to the high school, having a junior high for fifth to seventh grades and closing one elementary building.
We need to be pretty serious about this, he said. Were not where some of the other districts are, but we will be soon.

Mike will be greatly missed by his family and work associates as well as his many friends. Please remember his life with his favorite saying, "Life is good."
Funeral services were Monday, Nov.17, at the Price LDS Stake Center. A gathering was Monday prior to the services. An earlier gathering was Sunday, Nov. 16, at the Price 4th/5th LDS Ward. Interment was in the Cliffview Cemetery, Price. Services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary.
In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a Mike Loveless Scholarship Fund at the College of Eastern Utah.

The waves were churning up this foam a few different times after storms and I managed to get many good shots of it moving around through the Tufa as a foreground. The north end of the Milky Way took a TON of well constructed contrast work to get to appear this bright and still retain good details, and is best to photograph in the early morning at this time of year.
One problem with these types of shots is that camera technology isn't quite there yet for optimal detail and it's definitely only going to print so big before suffering from grain and whatnot, as my exposures were all at 3200 ISO and higher and not as bright as I would have liked to be able to get them. It will be very interesting to take the D800 out in such conditions soon, as what I've seen so far looks a lot better in all regards at those settings. This was with the 5D II.
Another problem with these shots is what to do for a light source and how to process when there is no natural light source! It's photography, so obviously you have to make the most of the light but to do that in a night shot with no moon takes some sort of imagination, I guess. It's always an adventure......
2 exposures of ISO 5000 and 1 minute for the landscape and water and ISO 5000 and one exposure of 30 seconds for the sky, all at f/2.8. The landscape ones were DOF blended a little. The sky was looking due north so I could get away with 30 seconds and extremely little motion, if any.

Naval Academy Graduate Receives Award for Operations Research
Posted on: June 26, 2013 08:00 EDT by Lt. Teng K. Ooi and Capt. Linda J. Beltra
The Mathematics Department is proud to congratulate one of our distinguished graduates, Ensign Taylor Boosmann, who was awarded the 2013 National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Prize for excellence in the area of operations research.
This award recognizes and honors Boosmann's superior scholastic academic achievements, her demonstrated accomplishments in athletics and extracurricular activities, and her commitment to serve in the military.
As part of her honors mathematics major, Boosmann completed a project titled "Staff Scheduling Academic Radiologists," where she designed models and implemented algorithms to help radiologists at Seattle Children's Hospital in Seattle, Wash.
"She took ownership over a challenging operations research problem and successfully investigated both practical and theoretical aspects of the problem," said Naval Academy mathematics professor Dr. David Phillips.
Boosmann graduated with honors in the top 5 percent of her class and will attend George Mason University where she will pursue a master's degree in operations research. After completing her degree she will enter the Navy's nuclear submarine community.
"I've never been the brightest student, but have always worked hard and genuinely enjoyed operations research," Boosmann says. "For that reason, being recognized in this way has truly been an honor."
The award was presented by Dr. Linda Corinne Mistler, the Maryland State Regent for the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
