(Redirected from Schumpeter)
Joseph Alois Schumpeter (February 8, 1883 – January 8, 1950) was an economist from Austria and an influential political scientist.
- Innovation is the market introduction of a technical or organisational novelty, not just its invention.
- Theorie der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, 1911
- Only a few people possess the quality of leadership the quality of actually introducing and undertaking new combinations which is quite a different thing from inventing them. However, if one or a few have advanced with success, many of the difficulties disappear. Others can then follow these pioneers, as they will clearly do under the stimulus of the success now obtainable. Their success again makes it easier … for more people to follow suit, until finally the innovation becomes familiar and the acceptance of it a matter of free choice. … The successful appearance of an entrepreneur (one who carries out new combinations) is followed by the appearance, not simply of some others, but of ever greater numbers, though progressively less qualified. … Every normal boom starts in one or a few branches of industry and … derives its character from the innovations in the industry where it begins. But the pioneers remove the obstacles for the others, not only in the branch of production in which they first appear, but, owing to the nature of these obstacles, ipso facto in other branches too.
- The Theory of Economic Development, 1934.
- Economists have never allowed their analysis to be influenced by psychologists of their time, but have always framed for themselves such assumptions about psychical processes as they have thought it desirable to make.
- Joseph Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis, 1945. p. 27
- Gentlemen, a depression is for capitalism like a good, cold douche.

Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, 1942[edit]
Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, 1942; Third Edition, 2014.
- I felt it my duty to take, and to inflict upon the reader, considerable trouble in order to lead up effectively to my paradoxical conclusion: capitalism is being killed by its achievements.
- Preface, pg.xiv
Part I[edit]
- However, if Marx had not been more than a purveyor of phraseology, he would be dead by now.
- Part I, Chapter I, pg.5
- Geniuses and prophets do not usually excel in professional learning, and their originality, if any, is often due precisely to the fact that they do not.
- Part I, Chapter III, pg.21
- As a matter of fact, capitalist economy is not and cannot be stationary. Nor is it merely expanding in a steady manner. It is incessantly being revolutionized from within by new enterprise, i.e., by the intrusion of new commodities or new methods of production or new commercial opportunities into the industrial structure as it exists at any moment.
- Part I, Chapter III, pg.31
- For one thing, to predict the advent of big business was considering the conditions of Marx's day an achievement in itself.
- Part I, Chapter III, pg.34
- Any existing structures and all the conditions of doing business are always in a process of change. Every situation is being upset before it has had time to work itself out. Economic progress, in a capitalist society, means turmoil.
- Lack of outlets, excess capacity, complete deadlock, in the end regular recurrence of national bankruptcies and other disasters-perhaps world wars from sheer capitalist despair-may confidently be anticipated. History is as simple a that.
- Part I, Chapter IV, pg.51
Part II[edit]
- As soon as we go into details and inquire into the individual items in which progress was most conspicuous, the trail leads not to the doors of those firms that work under conditions of comparatively free competition but precisely to the door of the large concerns--which, as in the case of agricultural machinery, also account for much of the progress in the competitive sector--and a shocking suspicion dawns upon us that big business may have had more to do with creating that standard of life than with keeping it down.
- Part II, Chapter VII, pg.82
- Capitalism, then, is by nature a form or method of economic change and not only never is but never can be stationary. And this evolutionary character of the capitalist process is not merely due to the fact that economic life goes on in a social and natural environment which changes and by its change alters the data of economic action; this fact is important and these changes (wars, revolutions and so on) often condition industrial change, but they are not its prime movers.
- Part II, Chapter VII, pg.82
- The fundamental impulse that sets and keeps the capitalist engine in motion comes from the new consumers' goods, the new methods of production or transportation, the new markets, the new forms of industrial organization that capitalist enterprise creates.
- Part II, Chapter VII, pg.83
- The opening up of new markets, foreign or domestic, and the organizational development from the craft shop and factory to such concerns as U. S. Steel illustrate the same process of industrial mutation-if I may use that biological term-that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one. This process of [Creative Destruction]] is the essential fact about capitalism.
- Part II, Chapter VII, pg.83
- Situations emerge in the process of creative destruction in which many firms may have to perish that nevertheless would be able to live on vigorously and usefully if they could weather a particular storm.
- Part II, Chapter VIII, pg.90
- Nothing is so retentive as a nation's memory.
- Part II, Chapter VIII, pg.100
- Want and effective demand are not the same thing. If they were, the poorest nations would be the ones to display the most vigorous demand.
- Part II, Chapter X, pg.114
- The stock exchange is a poor substitute for the Holy Grail.
- Part II, Chapter XII, Section II, pg.137
- Capitalism stands its trial before judges who have the sentence of death in their pockets. They are going to pass it, whatever the defense they may hear; the only success victorious defense can possibly produce is a change in the indictment.
- Part II, Chapter XIII, pg. 144
- Capitalism inevitably and by virtue of the very logic of its civilization creates, educates and subsidizes a vested interest in social unrest.
- Part II, Chapter XIII, Section II, pg. 146
Part III-V[edit]
- It is quite possible that future generations will look upon arguments about the inferiority of the socialist plan as we look upon Adam Smith's argument about joint stock companies which, also, were simply false.
- Part III, Chapter XVII, pg.196
- The capitalist process shapes things and souls for socialism.
- Part III, Chapter XIX, Section I, pg.220
- Nothing is so treacherous as the obvious.
- Part IV, Chapter XX, Section I, pg.235
- To realize the relative validity of one's convictions and yet stand for them unflinchingly is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian.
- Part IV, Chapter XX, Section III, pg.243
- In economic life competition is never completely lacking, but hardly ever is it perfect.
- Part IV, Chapter XXII, pg 271
- The trouble with Russia is not that she is socialist but that she is Russia.
- Part V, Chapter XXVIII, pg.404
- This civilization is rapidly passing away, however. Let us rejoice or else lament the fact as much as everyone of us likes; but do not let us shut our eyes to it.
- The March into Socialism, pg.419
Quotes about Schumpeter[edit]
- Schumpeter always argued that capitalism, as an intrinsically amoral economic system driven by the pursuit of profit, dissolvent of all barriers to market calculation, depended critically on pre-capitalist - in essence nobiliary - values and manners to hold it together as social and political order. But this aristocratic 'under-girding', as he put it, was typically reinforced by a secondary structure of support, in bourgeois milieux confident of the moral dignity of their own calling: subjectively closer to portraits by Mann than Flaubert.
- Perry Anderson, The Origins of Postmodernity (1999), Ch. 4 : After-effects
- Contemporary democracy, properly understood, was thus a richer affair than the thin models of it proposed by Schumpeter or Popper, as a mere choice between competing elites for office. It was to be conceived, not in a spirit of minimalism, but one of positively minded realism.
- Perry Anderson, The New Old World (2009), Ch. 4 : France
- The last chapter modeled technological progress as an increase in the number of types of products, N. In this chapter, we allow for improvements in the quality or productivity of each type. This approach has come to be known as the Schumpeterian approach to endogenous growth. We can think of increases in N as basic innovations that amount to dramatically new kinds of goods or methods of production. In contrast, increases in the quality of the existing products involve a continuing series of improvements and refinements of goods and techniques.
- Robert J. Barro, Xavier Sala-i-Martin, Economic growth 2nd ed. (2004), Ch. 7 : Technological Change: Schumpeterian Models of Quality Ladders
- The aristocratic and the modern were inextricably combined in Joseph Schumpeter. The paradoxes of this great economist, who also served as minister of finance in the post- World War I government of Austria, are suggested by the fact that at his first teaching post, he challenged the university librarian to a duel to win freer access to books for the students. Perhaps Schumpeter was attracted to the big issues because he himself witnessed drastic changes in society.
- Samuel Bowles, Richard Edwards, and Frank Roosevelt. Understanding Capitalism: Competition, Command, and Change (3rd ed., 2005)
- Although democratic ideas often yield rather ambiguous answers to the question of inclusion. Schumpeter was an exception. … Schumpeter's solution, or rather nonsolution, was to allow a demos to draw any line it chooses between itself and other members. … Schumpeter's solution to the problem of composition of the demos is unacceptable, because it effectively erases the distinction between democracy and a nondemocratic order dominated by a collegial elite.
- Robert A. Dahl, Democracy and Its Critics (1989), Ch. 9 : The Problem of Inclusion
- Aside from Yugoslavia, experiments with decentralization did not extend to planning innovation, the greatest weakness of the socialist economies. Even where markets were allowed to exert more influence over current production, the state was still responsible for planning the future. And state socialism provided only weak incentives for innovation. The Schumpeterian pressure that forced capitalist firms to innovate or die was not present in the planned economy.
- Barry Eichengreen, The European economy since 1945 : coordinated capitalism and beyond, Ch. 5 : Eastern Europe and the Planned Economy
- We have far more people selling derivatives, index funds and mu tual funds (as we call them) than there is intelligence for the task. I am cautious about prediction; I discovered years ago that my correct predictions are forgotten, the others meticulously remembered. But some things are definite; when you hear it being said that we have entered a new economy of permanent prosperity with prices of financial instruments reflecting that happy fact, you should take cover. This has been the standard justification of speculative excess for several centuries — for a good part of the millennium. My one time Harvard colleague Joseph Schumpeter thought inevitable and even beneficial what he called "creative destruction" — the cyclical process by which the system eliminates the people and institutions which are mentally too vulnerable for useful economic service. Un fortunately the process has larger and less benign effects, including the possibility of painful recession or depression.
- John Kenneth Galbraith, "The Unfinished Business of the Century" (1999)
- The developed economies are currently experiencing profound changes. A technological revolution is creating entirely new sectors, based on biotechnology, microprocessors, and telecommunications, whose products are transforming business practices across the economy. A wave of managerial innovations has seen companies around the world adopt new forms of supplier-client relations, just-in-time inventory systems, quality control and team production. Economic activity is shifting from the industrial sector into the service sector. Capitalism seems to be in the midst of one of those 'cycles of creative destruction' that Schumpeter (1950) identified.
- Peter A. Hall and David Soskice. "An introduction to varieties of capitalism." in Varieties of capitalism: The institutional foundations of comparative advantage (2001)
- That an economist of Professor Schumpeter's standing should thus have fallen into a trap which the ambiguity of the term "datum" sets to the unwary can hardly be explained as a simple error. It suggests rather that there is something fundamentally wrong with an approach which habitually disregards an essential part of the phenomena with which we have to deal: the unavoidable imperfection of man's knowledge and the consequent need for a process by which knowledge is constantly communicated and acquired. Any approach, such as that of much of mathematical economics with its simultaneous equations, which in effect starts from the assumption that people's knowledge corresponds with the objective facts of the situation, systematically leaves out what is our main task to explain.
- Friedrich Hayek, "The Use of Knowledge in Society" (1945)
- Schumpeter's attempt to prove his assertion to the layman characteristically begins by assuming that 'means of production are present in given and, for the moment, unalterable quantities'. He does not explain to whom these quantities are 'given', that is, known, nor how much about their various attributes and potentialities anybody knows.
- Friedrich Hayek, "Two Pages of Fiction: The Impossibility of Socialist Calculation", Economic Affairs (1982)
- It was probably the influence of Schumpeter's teaching more than the direct influence of Oskar Lange that has given rise to the growth of an extensive literature of mathematical studies of 'resource allocation processes'. As far as I can see they deal as irresponsibly with sets of fictitious 'data' which are in no way connected with what the acting individuals can learn as any of Lange's.
- Friedrich Hayek, "Two Pages of Fiction: The Impossibility of Socialist Calculation", Economic Affairs (1982)
- Schumpeter was the most romantic of economists, and capitalism to his eyes had all the glamor and excitement of a knightly jousting tourney.
- Robert Heilbroner, The Worldly Philosophers, Chapter XI, p. 303
- For Schumpeter, capitalism itself could not possibly make for conquest and war: its spirit was rational, calculating, and therefore averse to risk-taking on the scale implicit in warmaking and in other heroic antics. Interesting as they were as a counterpoint to the various Marxist theories of imperialism, Schumpeter's views evinced less awareness of the knottiness of the problem he was dealing with than those of Adam Ferguson and Tocqueville that have just been recalled. To go back even further: Cardinal de Retz, with his insistence that the passions are not to be counted out in situations where interest-motivated behavior is considered to be the rule, appears to have had the better part of the argument than either Keynes or Schumpeter.
- Albert O. Hirschman, The Passions and the interests (1977)
- Schumpeter's work, his dynamic view of the entrepreneur and creative destruction has had a great impact on me. He indeed wrote a book, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, which intended to give a complex analysis of the two systems. But these two books, and a few others (e.g., some of Mises's and Hayek's works) are rather exceptional. A typical American textbook on economic systems is not written with the same ambition about capitalism with which I wrote about socialism. It doesn't give you a general model of capitalism, including the characterization of the political, ideological, and social spheres.
- János Kornai, in "An Interview with János Kornai : Interviewed by Olivier Blanchard", Macroeconomic Dynamics, 1999
- We are far from understanding how to achieve adaptively efficient economies because allocative efficiency and adaptive efficiency may not always be consistent. Allocatively efficient rules would make today's firms and decisions secure - but frequently at the expense of the creative destruction process that Schumpeter had in mind.
- Douglass C. North, Institutions, institutional change and economic performance (1990) Ch. 9 : Organizations, learning, and institutional change
- Schumpeter's approach has an important implication for political behavior. If the constellation of economic interests regularly changes because of innovation and entry, politicians face a fundamentally different world than those in a natural state: open access orders cannot manipulate interests in the same way as natural states do. Too much behavior and formation of interests take place beyond the state's control. Politicians in both natural states and open access orders want to create rents. Rent-creation at once rewards their supporters and binds their constituents to support them. Because, however, open access orders enable any citizen to form an organization for a wide variety of purposes, rents created by either the political process or economic innovation attract competitors in the form of new organizations. In Schumpeterian terms, political entrepreneurs put together new organizations to compete for the rents and, in so doing, reduce existing rents and struggle to create new ones. As a result, creative destruction reigns in open access politics just as it does in open access economies. Much of the creation of new interests is beyond the control of the state. The creation of new interests and the generation of new sources of rents occur continuously in open access orders.
- Douglass C. North, John Joseph Wallis, and Barry R. Weingast, Violence and Social Orders (2009), Ch. 1 : The Conceptual Framework
- A final aspect of all open access orders is Schumpeter's notion of creative destruction, one of the most powerful descriptions of a competitive, open access economy. When Schumpeter wrote Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy in the early 1940s, the economic theory of perfect competition among atomistic firms (i.e., firms too small to have market power) had come under sustained attack as unrealistic. Large and powerful economic organizations dominated the new economy, and their behavior did not match the textbooks. Despite this dominance, the economy produced historically unprecedented, sustained economic development. Schumpeter asked, How could large businesses that were supposed to choke off competition and growth nonetheless generate such spectacular productivity increases in a world that seemed ever more competitive?
- Douglass C. North, John Joseph Wallis, and Barry R. Weingast, Violence and Social Orders (2009), Ch. 4 : Open Access Orders
- Madison or Sieyes would have agreed that the role of representatives is to determine for the people, and sometimes against the people, what is good for them. But here comes the crucial break with the classical tradition: Kelsen, Schumpeter, Bobbio, Dahl, and Downs all agree that nobody and no body can represent the will of all the people. In sharp contradistinction to the classical view, these theorists maintain that political parties represent distinct interests. The theory of democracy based on the assumption of the common good is just incoherent.
- Adam Przeworski, Democracy and the Limits of Self-Government (2010), Ch. 2 : Self-Government of the People
- Specifically, it discusses the possibilities for finding a viable alternative to neoclassical economic growth theory, in the form of some combination of Keynesian macroeconomics and evolutionary growth modeling. In this framework, economies are considered as complex adaptive systems which can generate dissipative structures, depending on the underlying knowledge dynamics and the energy throughput. This macroeconomic framework, which integrates short-run Keynesian elements with long-run Schumpeterian thinking, has to be considered as extremely powerful, both intellectually, as it allows for a much more comprehensive understanding of growth processes, as well as politically, as it offers a meaningful alternative to mainstream approaches which failed to predict the current economic and financial crisis and cannot offer meaningful answers how to get out of the crisis.
- Andreas Pyka and Maria da Graça Derengowski Fonseca, "Introduction" in Catching Up, Spillovers and Innovation Networks in a Schumpeterian Perspective (2011)
- Now, at the turn of the millennia, when total-factor-productivity has remarkably soared in America and abroad, both fools and sages sing Schumpeter's praise. That would have amused and pleased this worldly scholar who in some dark hours of the night used to despair in his German-shorthand diaries of justly deserved praises passing him by. So Keynes was wrong: in the long run not all of us are dead.
- Paul Samuelson, "Reflections on the Schumpeter I knew well" (2005)
- It is also erroneous to believe that a political position founded on economic superiority is "essentially unwarlike," as Joseph Schumpeter says in his Zur Soziologie der Imperialismen. Essentially unwarlike is the terminology based on the essence of liberal ideology. An imperialism based on pure economic power will naturally attempt to sustain a worldwide condition which enables it to apply and manage, unmolested, its economic means, e.g., terminating credit, embargoing raw materials, destroying the currencies of others, and so on. Every attempt of a people to withdraw itself from the effects of such "peaceful" methods is considered by this imperialism as extra-economic power.
- Carl Schmitt, The Concept of Political
- Schumpeter argued that the economy was characterized by a process of cre ative destruction. An innovator could, through a new product or lower costs of pro duction, establish a dominant position in a market. But eventually, that dominant position would be destroyed, as another new product or process was invented.
He worried that the giant corporations he saw being formed during his lifetime would stifle innovation and end this process of creative destruction. His fears, so far, have been unfounded; indeed, many of the largest firms, like IBM, have not been able to manage the innovative process in a way that keeps up with upstart rivals.
- Joseph E. Stiglitz and Carl E. Walsh, Economics (4th ed) (2006) Ch. 20 : Technological Change
- Schumpeter emphasizes a "demand-side" explanation for such clustering of innovation. One might also consider a complemen tary "supply-side" explanation: since innovators are, in many cases, working with the same components, it is not surprising to see simultaneous innovation, with several innovators coming up with essentially the same invention at almost the same time. There are many well-known examples, including the electric light, the airplane, the automobile, and the telephone.
- Hal R. Varian, Part I. "Competition and market power", in The Economics of Information Technology: An Introduction (2004) by Hal R.Varian, Joseph Farrell and Carl Shapiro
- The term 'kinship' correctly suggests the existence not only of contemporary relatives but also of ancestors. Indeed, the recent discussion of dynamic capability was prefigured historically, with a variety of terminology, in a number of sources. Perhaps the most directly relevant example among these earlier contributions is Schumpeter's discussion of the 'routinization of innovation' (Schumpeter 1950). Schumpeter's argument presented, however, an issue that remains central in contemporary discussion of dynamic capability—the possibly problematic character of the claim that there is such a thing as 'learned competence' for doingnew things.
- Sidney G. Winter, "Dynamic Capability as a Source of Change" in Alexander Ebner, Nikolaus Beck, eds. The Institutions of the Market: Organizations, Social Systems, and Governance (2008)
- The writings of Joseph Schumpeter contributed an essential part of the broad conceptual framework that now embraces the discussion of dynamic capabilities.
- Sidney G. Winter, "Dynamic Capability as a Source of Change" in Alexander Ebner, Nikolaus Beck, eds. The Institutions of the Market: Organizations, Social Systems, and Governance (2008)
- Towards the end of his life, Schumpeter re-painted his picture of capitalist development on an even broader canvas. In Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (Schumpeter 1950), he offered a complex, multifaceted argument that the type of capitalism he had earlier described might be passing from the historical scene, morphing by small degrees into some variety of socialism.
- Sidney G. Winter, "Dynamic Capability as a Source of Change" in Alexander Ebner, Nikolaus Beck, eds. The Institutions of the Market: Organizations, Social Systems, and Governance (2008)
- Maybe we expect too much from democracy. The economist Joseph Schumpeter, one of the great modern thinkers to address the question, certainly thought so. Eighteenth-century optimists believed that there was such a thing as the common good, that people could determine it for themselves, and that they would then elect representatives to carry out their will. This "classical theory of democracy," as Schumpeter argued in 1942, was more a quasi-religious expression of hope than an actual description of how democracies worked. There is no such thing as the common good, he delighted in pointing out. And even if there were, ordinary citizens, including the more educated among them, would be too irrational in their desires and too easily fooled to know what it might be. In theory democratic citizens raise and decide issues. In practice, "the issues that shape their fate are normally decided for them."

I Dare You
As a buyer of radio advertising, Im willing to pay you for every listener youve got. If theyre old enough to vote, theyre old enough to drive cars and have money and influence a lot of other people who have money. Every listener matters. Thats why I like to target adults 18+. More than 50,000 business owners who buy radio advertising received the following memo from me recently:
Ive never seen a business fail due to reaching the wrong people. So why do most business owners instinctively believe that reaching the right people is the key to successful advertising?
Who, exactly, do you not want to know about you? Who isnt qualified to repeat the good things theyve heard about you? And when is the best time to advertise?
Solomon wrote about these things in the 11th chapter of Ecclesiastes: If you wait for perfect weather, you will never plant your seeds. If you are afraid that every cloud will bring rain, you will never harvest your crops ... So begin planting early in the morning, and dont stop working until evening. You dont know what might make you rich. Maybe everything you do will be successful.
It would appear that Solomon advises, Dont over think it. Just tell your story every day in every circumstance. You never know who might be listening.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke felt the following moment to be important enough to include in the books they wrote about Jesus. Heres how Luke tells it: A large crowd came together. People came to Jesus from every town, and he told them this story: A farmer went out to sow seed. While he was scattering the seed, some of it fell beside the road. People walked on the seed, and the birds ate it all. Other seed fell on rock. It began to grow but then died because it had no water. Some other seed fell among thorny weeds. This seed grew, but later the weeds stopped the plants from growing. The rest of the seed fell on good ground. This seed grew and made 100 times more grain. Jesus finished the story. Then he called out, You people who hear me, listen!
Neither Solomon nor Jesus advised, Target the good soil.
Maybe Jesus just didnt understand. And maybe Solomon wasnt very bright.
I know its counterintuitive, but if you look at all the offers from all the sellers of mass media and then accept the offer that allows you to reach the largest number of adults 18+ each week, 52 weeks a year, for the fewest dollars per week, its hard to make a mistake.
Radio is called "mass media" because every radio station, regardless of format, reaches the rich and poor and middle class masses across a wide range of ages and locations.
Radio is not a rifle; it is a shotgun. Radio is not a fishhook, it is a net.
Pick a random radio station. Any format, any city. Call and give an AE a weekly budget for a consecutive 52-week schedule. Ask that AE to send you a reach-and-frequency analysis for whatever schedule delivers the largest net reach of adults 18+ with a 3-frequency within that budget.
The odds are 9-to-1 against you receiving what you requested. Instead, youll receive a schedule that shows you only the demo of which the station is most proud.
Call and ask. I dare you.
My staff and I have been calling more than 2,000 stations a year for more than 25 years. Fifteen years ago I quit hiring people with radio experience to buy media for me. I swear Im not making this up. Every time I stole an AE from radio and taught them to buy media, theyd always get deeply depressed in about 90 days.
Whats wrong? Id ask.
They tell me they understand what I want, then they send me something completely different.
Dont let it get you down. I told you it would take multiple conversations.
Thats not it.
Then whats bothering you?
Every one of these reps says exactly the same things to me that Ive said to buyers a thousand times.
And that bothers you?
I always thought I was being clever.
The strength of every radio station is anchored in the irresistible nature of sound and its broad appeal to the masses, but most sellers of radio insist on presenting it as a narrow, targeting device. Why present only a fraction of your audience when the entire audience is so much more impressive?
Because the buyers insist on seeing target demos.
No problem. Give them exactly the numbers they requested, and then show them the remaining balance of your audience as you say, And these are all the listeners you get at no extra charge.
That, my friend, is added value.
Trust me, looking at the whole audience is more impressive than looking at just part of it.
And these are all the listeners you get at no extra charge.
Roy H. Williams is president of Wizard of Ads Inc. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
It needs to be recognized that Roy - with a combination of his skills - represents a unique individual plying his trade in radio.
Meanwhile, I question Phil as to where the term "purist" a. Came from. and, b. has what to do with anything...? (I will own the "cynical comment.)
|- Ronald T. Robinson
Indeed, Roy is a master at providing appropriate and powerful buys for his clients. I wouldn't dare invade that space for any reason. Plus, he types some pretty mean "hype", as well. The combination makes magic.
In the meantime, I'm going to insist that the vast majority of radio-folk are still clueless as to the actual impact of radio or how to present it even better.
Fact: Bad stations providing poor commercial content are still on the air - although just barely in many cases - only because the medium itself still retains an innate and persuasive power.
|- Ronald T. Robinson
Very good, Roy. Any station that does a reasonably good job has an audience. Even the ones that sound hokey to radio people have a good audience.
Look at Ron Robinson's comments compared to Roy Williams and you can see who has a good grasp of the mass audience's behavior (Williams) and who thinks like the cynical purist (Robinson).Radio has underpriced itself for years.
|- Phil
What about those stations that don't subscribe to rating services? How do you your buyers work with them?

I wrote on Jan. 24 that Norton Internet Security 2008, a Symantec product, now has the greatest number of Editors' Choice awards of any security suite, and therefore has replaced the ZoneAlarm suite in the WSN Security Baseline.
This story touched a nerve for a significant number of readers, who have had bad experiences with Symantec and its products in the past.
Some readers revolt against Symantec products
After the story was published, many readers wrote in to voice their criticism of Symantec software. Many, who say they're disappointed with Symantec's customer service and technical support, asked that we consider these factors in making our choices.

Unfortunately, Windows Secrets does not have its own test lab to scrutinize antivirus and firewall solutions, and we also don't have the resources to conduct surveys on customer support. Instead, we analyze the test results of respected labs and let you know which products have received top ratings from the greatest number of reviewers. We publish the WSN Security Baseline as a way for individual and small-business PC users to see at a glance the minimum they need to protect their systems from hackers.
Whatever problems Symantec software has had in the past, the situation is that two major publishers, PC Magazine and PC World, have given their top awards to the latest version of Norton Internet Security. No competing product currently holds more than one Editors' Choice award from major test labs. We felt it was important to pass that information on to you.
Having said that, one of our best sources of information is your e-mail messages, which form the basis of this week's top story on problems with Symantec uninstaller programs. I promise to continue to investigate stories that you propose in the tips you send in.
Many feel suites don't provide best protection
Several other readers questioned the value of recommending suites in the Security Baseline. IT manager Rob Devereux put it this way:
- "I think one of the conclusions that most IT professionals are coming to now is that you will never have best of breed in a security suite, and your findings seem to bear this out with Symantec failing in some surveys, and ZoneAlarm in others, in areas where they have weak products.
"By their very nature, these suites are often the result of one manufacturer who does one job well buying another smaller company or companies to do another security job or jobs and then getting their developers to write the rest and bolt the applications together. For example, Norton started out doing hardware and software diagnostics, went into antivirus, and then bought companies to add in spyware and other functionality.
"The result, all too often (and Norton is a good example), is a product that has one exceptional component (often the thing that the company did well at first), two mediocre ones, and another one or two awful ones that don't work well (for instance, the Parental Advisor in the Norton security suite). I have certainly seen a downgrading in the usefulness and reliability of Norton Anti-Virus since they made it part of a suite.
"The point I am trying to make is that picking and choosing to get the best-of-breed antivirus, the best-of-breed [anti]spyware, the best-of-breed firewall, and so on, can be a far more beneficial and secure way to work than buying a security suite that forces you to have bad products along with good."
IT professionals should, by all means, read the full test results that the Security Baseline links to, and determine for themselves whether a combination of products from different vendors would better serve their company's needs. In most cases, the same labs that test suites also publish results for each vendor's separate firewall, antivirus, and antispyware products. We consider the Security Baseline to be only a starting point for those who want to do their own research.

Representations for a spins-first approach to quantum mechanics Documents
Main Document
Representations for a spins-first approach to quantum mechanics
written by
Corinne A. Manogue,
Elizabeth Gire,
David McIntyre, and
Janet Tate
In the Paradigms in Physics Curriculum at Oregon State University, we take a spins-first approach to quantum mechanics using a java simulation of successive Stern-Gerlach experiments to explore the postulates. The experimental schematic is a diagrammatic representation that we use throughout our discussion of quantum measurements. With a spins-first approach, it is natural to start with Dirac bra-ket language for states, observables, and projection operators. We also use explicit matrix representations of operators and ask students to translate between the Dirac and matrix languages. The projection of the state onto a basis is represented with a histogram. When we subsequently introduce wave functions, the wave function attains a natural interpretation as the continuous limit of these discrete histograms or a projection of a Dirac ket onto position or momentum eigenstates. We are able to test the students' facility with moving between these representations in later modules.

Saint Paul Regional Water Services to hold annual fall water tower open house
Saint Paul Water Regional Water Services is pleased to announce the annual fall open house at the historic Highland Water Tower.
The tower doors will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, October 10 -11.
The water tower is a Highland Park neighborhood landmark located at the intersection of Snelling Avenue and Ford Parkway.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Visitors are invited to climb the 151-step staircase inside the tower to the observation deck.
The deck offers stunning views of the Highland area, the Twin Cities, and the Mississippi River, providing an excellent opportunity for photographs and a fun family outing.
The tower's observation deck provides visitors with a spectacular view of the area, particularly looking down on the changing colors of the trees dotting the Highland Park golf course below and out toward the Mississippi River.
On a clear day, visitors can see airplanes lifting off from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport to the south. The scene stretches from the Saint Paul city skyline on the east to the Minneapolis skyline on the west.
The tower, which was designed by Clarence W. "Cap" Wigington, was completed in 1928. Wigington, an architect for the city of Saint Paul from 1915 to 1949, also designed many other important structures in the area, including the Keller Golf Course Clubhouse (1929), the Saint Paul Public Safety Building (1929–30), and the Como Park Pavilion (1934).
The construction of the Highland Water Tower includes facings of Kasota and Bedford stone and a riveted steel-plate tank with a capacity of 200,000 gallons. The tower is still used today to help supply water in the Highland area. A collection of several original Highland Tower blueprints, many of which bear Wigington's signature, will be displayed inside the tower.
The open house is designed to inform residents about municipal water and the efforts of the utility to preserve and protect water resources. Information about the utility's water treatment process and distribution system will be available.
Utility employees will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about utility services.
For more information, please contact Saint Paul Regional Water Services at 651-266-6350.

RENO, NV - The man who shot three people at a Reno Walmart has been sentenced to at least 35 years in prison, but it could be up to 96 years.
Following up on the jury's finding John Gillane guilty on seven counts in last year's shooting at the Kietzke Lane store, Judge Patrick Flanagan handed down the sentence late Wednesday morning.
Gillane had been found guilty of attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.
Gillane was an employee at the Walmart and shot three managers, all of whom have recovered from their injuries.
Wednesday in court, the prosecution read letters from two of the victims. Eric Hill's letter said he was still in a lot of pain as a result of Gillane's action both physically and mentally. Rick Burns's letter says the tragedy still affects his life today, physically, emotionally and financially.
Richard Sanders stood before the court and Gillane and told Judge Flanagan he deserved the full sentence. Sanders told Gillane that he "would never be able to forgive him."
The judge also ordered Gillane to pay for restitution for the victim's medical expenses, totaling more than $200,000.

CEDAR CITY, Utah, Dec. 4 – After falling behind early against San Diego on Tuesday night, Southern Utah started the second half on a 17-3 run to bring the game back within three. That is as close as the Thunderbirds would get however as the visiting Toreros held on to win by a final score of 67-53.
Sophomore guard Johnny Dee hit two threes and a pair of free throws to give the visitors their first eight points and help USD open the game with an 8-2 lead. Jackson Stevenett then sank a baseline jumper for his first basket of the game, which was followed by six consecutive Torero points that would push the margin to ten at 14-4.
Cal Hanks rallied the Thunderbirds by scoring three-straight for Southern Utah, but Ken Rancifer answered with a three from the wing to spark a 7-0 run that saw USD go up 22-7 with nine minutes remaining in the first half.
The Thunderbirds continued to chip away at the lead as Hanks made two more baskets over the next five minutes to help bring SUU back. Stevenett would contribute a straightaway three that cut the deficit to seven at 24-17.
San Diego was able to stretch its lead again in the final minutes of the half, taking a 36-22 score into the locker room as Dee beat the buzzer for his third three of the of the game.
"Dee set the tone for the first half by making those first two threes," explained SUU head coach Nick Robinson. "Cal had a good half for us. He took his time on offense and stayed aggressive."
Hanks racked up eight points and four rebounds for SUU in the first half, surpassing his previous career highs for a game in just a single period. Dee was the Toreros top-scorer in the early going, recording 13 points in the first twenty minutes.
Damon Heuir started the second half by scoring on back-to-back drives to the basket and A.J. Hess added a lay-up to pull SUU back within ten with the score at 39-29. A corner three for Heuir and a transition bucket from Stevennet then helped Southern Utah open the period on a 17-3 run and bring the score to 39-36.
After a basket and a pair of free throws pushed the San Diego lead back up to seven, Jayson Cheesman block led to a fast break lay-up for Heuir that made the score 45-40 with nine minutes to play.
The Toreros worked their lead back into the double figures as Chris Anderson got inside for a score near the six-minute mark, but the T-Birds came back again after Heuir hit another three to make the count 58-49 with three minutes left on the clock. San Diego was able to hold on in final moments however, eventually coming away with the 67-53 win.
San Diego shot 40.8 percent from the field in the game and was 20-33 from the foul line. Southern Utah posted a mark of 35.1 percent and made 10 free throws on 15 attempts. The Thunderbirds outrebounded the Toreros by a count of 43-31 and blocked 10 shots as a team.
"We rebounded at a very high rate, we executed on defense and gave ourselves a chance to play from behind," said Robinson. "We have played hard consistently, we just don't play smart all of the time."
Heuir led the Thunderbirds in scoring for the fifth time this season, recording 17 points on 6-13 shooting. Stevenett finished with 13 for SUU along with eight rebounds. San Diego got 17 from Dee and another 13 from Chris Anderson.
"It was great to have as many people come as we did, to play in front of a crowd of 3,200," commented Robinson. "They gave us terrific support."
Southern Utah will now have time to prepare for its first Big Sky game, a Dec. 17 meeting with North Dakota. The Thunderbirds will host UND in the concluding game of an SUU doubleheader that Monday at 7:30 p.m.

Fergie confirms Van Persie bidComment on this story
London – Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed on Friday that Manchester United have made a bid for unsettled Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.
Ferguson made his move for van Persie after the Netherlands international, whose current contract expires at the end of the forthcoming campaign, announced earlier this month that he would refuse to sign a new deal with the Gunners.
Premier League champions Manchester City and Italian giants Juventus have also expressed interest in van Persie, but Ferguson tried to steal a march on his rivals with a firm offer.
It is believed Arsenal rejected United's bid because they want at least £20 million ($31.2 million) for the 28-year-old, who scored 37 goals in all competitions last season and won both the Players' and Football Writers' Player of the Year awards.
"Obviously Arsenal have given out the fact that we've made a bid for him," Ferguson told MUTV.
"We try to keep business as close as possible to us until the moment we conclude a deal. There's no point talking about something that might not happen.
"There are other clubs interested in the player. We've shown an interest and that's where we're at at the moment."
Van Persie stunned Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger when he declared immediately after Euro 2012 that he wanted to leave the north London team because he felt the club's ambitions did not match his own.
That shock announcement prompted City and Juventus to start the chase for one of Europe's top strikers and United are now firmly in the hunt as well.
Arsenal were expected to announce on Friday whether van Persie would join them on their pre-season tour to Asia but later delayed the decision until Saturday, when they are due to leave the country.
It is widely believed Wenger will opt against including van Persie in a bid to avoid further acrimony.
The van Persie saga threatens to become a carbon copy of those that saw Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri sold to Barcelona and Manchester City respectively last year, even though Wenger was desperate to keep both players. – Sapa-AFP

This book offers special insights into 'hot' trout streams beneath dams across America.
- Filed Under
Recently I read a book every serious fly angler will want to study: "50 Best Tailwaters to Fly Fish." The maps, access data and insect hatch charts (including Trico density below most dams) alone are worth the $34.95 price of the book.
While there is some complaint these days over dams - Trout Unlimited is out to breach dozens of them, which halt salmon and steelhead migrations - this book points out many waters where trout fishing would be non-existent if left to nature alone. Some examples known to Utahns: Green River below Flaming Gorge and Provo River below Deer Creek Dam.

DoxTek Inc., a national leader in document management and accounting system and software integration recently completed a project to integrate the Central Utah Water Conservancy District's (CUWCD) scanning and document management system and its current accounting system to increase efficiencies and ultimately save CUWCD customers money.
"A lack of connectivity between our accounting and document management systems was creating extra work and requiring redundant data entry into both systems," explained Shawn Lambert, controller for Central Utah Water Conservancy District. "Delivering clean, usable water to our customers by managing our network of water facilities in the most efficient manner possible is our key mandate. DoxTek understands this mission and exceeded our expectations in their ability to deliver an integrated solution that improved our overall operational efficiency."
As an existing client, DoxTek engineers were familiar with CUWCD's infrastructure and had previously installed an onsite enterprise document management solution – Hyland OnBase document software. CUWCD's OnBase system effectively stores everything from human resources and finance documents to board minutes, compliance and records reports, engineering documents and maintenance information.
After meeting with key CUWCD employees about the new challenge, DoxTek determined a solution that would solve the initial accounting issues, be compatible with the OnBase document management system and CUWCD's existing accounting system, and benefit the entire organization. DoxTek's solutions for CUWCD included:
"We listened to our client's needs and process concerns; then identified how to make the document management and accounting systems communicate with each other and pertinent employees," explained Michael Miles, CEO of DoxTek. "Now employees have more time to focus on their core responsibilities, can give or receive approvals much quicker, access complete information remotely for more strategic and timely decisions and redirect resources to critical new projects within the organization."
To learn more about integrating diverse operating systems, automating accounts payable processes and freeing up staff to focus on strategic initiatives rather than manual tasks contact DoxTek.

CrisisCamp AAR - City Profile - Christchurch, New Zealand
Written by Heather Leson for CrisisCommons in collaboration with Gavin Threadgold
There was one CrisisCamp in New Zealand for Haiti response attended by 4 people. Gavin Treadgold heard about CrisisCamp DC in 2009. He joined the first CrisisCommons conference call to action after the earthquake in Haiti. CrisisCamp New Zealand/SahanaCamp held their first event in Wellington, NZ on January 17, 2010. The small team (under 10 people) primarily focused on supporting22 the recent deployment of Sahana Eden at haiti.sahanafoundation.org.
Lessons Learned
- CrisisCamps should include more engagement with emergency managers to better understand and identify requirements of IT for emergency management. This mandate should include a clear understanding of what standards exist (and need to be developed), interoperability of tools, and avoidance of duplicate efforts. CrisisCamps should use existing platforms such as Sahana or Ushahidi where applicable.
- CrisisCommons has a lot of potential to act as a means of prototyping new apps and capabilities. Volunteers may benefit from personal preparedness and introductory emergency management training. CrisisCommons has the potential to provide a good neutral umbrella for multiple projects, startups, and ideas that do not exist under other existing organizations, such as Ushahidi and Sahana. CrisisCommons has a lot of potential to act as a breeding ground for potential developers for existing projects.

Definitions for quality assurance
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word quality assurance
quality assurance(Noun)
A system in which the delivery of a service or the quality of a product is assessed, and compared with that required.
Quality assurance
Quality assurance refers to the engineering activities implemented in a quality system so that requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled. It is the systematic measurement, comparison with a standard, monitoring of processes and an associated feedback loop that confers error prevention. This can be contrasted with quality control, which is focused on process outputs. Two principles included in QA are: "Fit for purpose", the product should be suitable for the intended purpose; and "Right first time", mistakes should be eliminated. QA includes management of the quality of raw materials, assemblies, products and components, services related to production, and management, production and inspection processes. Suitable quality is determined by product users, clients or customers, not by society in general. It is not related to cost and adjectives or descriptors such "high" and "poor" are not applicable. For example, a low priced product may be viewed as having high quality because it is disposable where another may be viewed as having poor quality because it is not disposable.

There are some parents who consciously limit their children's exposure to licensed characters. They argue that the companies that sell merchandise with licensed characters on them - and the companies who own the license - are exploiting young minds for financial gain. Or something like that. I don't think I know any of these people, but I've read about them in magazines and seen them interviewed on TV. Their main target is - no surprise - that grandaddy of mice of men, the Disney Company.
I, on the other hand, have no such convictions. Our son loves Cars and our daughter loves Princesses, but they both have a variety of interests and love to read and play outside and are curious and engaging, so I don't think it's stunted their development in the least. It's not necessarily something we encourage, but it's there. And so when my parents invited us to spend some time with them in Southern California this past month, it was going to include a trip to Disneyland. I *may* have been almost as excited as the children about visiting the land of Mickey Mouse.
It was so much fun. Sure, there were a couple of meltdowns and they probably won't remember much about it, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I was especially looking forward to Mia meeting a real-life "Princess".
Now, of all of the major reservations parents have with their child's obsession with Disney, the ones about Disney princesses inspiring a less-than-realistic version of love are the ones that I can relate to. I was reading a story about Sleeping Beauty to Mia the other night that went more or less like this:
Aurora pricked her finger and fell asleep. Then a Prince kissed her and saved her and they were in love forever and ever. The end.
I try to balance that by reading The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch to her. For those of you unfamiliar with that story, the gist of it is this:
Prince is kidnapped by dragon. Princess outwits dragon and rescues Prince, all while wearing nothing but a paper bag. Prince admonishes Princess for not looking like a real Princess. Princess says, "I am too good for you", and kicks Prince to the curb.
So yeah, I much prefer the Paper Bag Princess as a role model for my daughter than the traditional Disney fare, but I can't (and won't) deny them to my daughter. Both she and my son are much too young to stop believing in magic, and I really believe that's what Disney is to most kids. It's a magical world full of castles and cars that speak and a mouse whose best friends are a duck and some dogs. It's where toys come alive and there are endless possibilities to be discovered. (Wow, that was some Kool-Aid I drank, hey?)
To illustrate just how powerful this belief can be, let me tell you about what happened when Mia finally had a chance to meet a Princess. Up until this point, both Murray and I knew that there was a very strong possibility that Mia would not go up and actually meet a Princess. She is very hesitant around strangers, especially of the non-regular-human variety. Last Christmas we waited in line for more than half an hour to see Santa Claus but when it was our turn she refused to go anywhere near him. Likewise, the day before our Disneyland visit we were at Disney's California Adventure. There's a picture we have of all of us waiting to meet Goofy. Mia looks the most excited of all of us. The next picture is Gavin meeting Goofy by himself.
At Disneyland, if you want to meet a Princess you go to the Royal Fantasy Walk. You wait in a long line to walk into an alcove where around three of the Disney princesses will be waiting for your child. The entire 45 minutes we were waiting, we knew that this could be a total bust. We gave her the option to leave if she wanted to and received an emphatic No! When we turned the corner and saw Princess Tiana waiting, Mia mustered every ounce of courage that she had and walked, hesitantly, up to her and offered her autograph book and pen. Once the name had been signed, the Princess took Mia in for a hug. Mia did this two more times. Each time, hesitant. She's not smiling in any of the pictures, and anyone unfamiliar with the back story would think that we totally forced her to do something she didn't want. When we were leaving the Royal Walk area, you could almost see the tension leave her body.
I don't know what motivates people to overcome their fears like that, but it has to be good. My kids will have plenty of time to be cynical about the entire enterprise when they're older. Just not now. Not yet. Hopefully not ever.
And you? You just go have a magical day!

You are so right about Disneyland. Now that we have kids it is hands down my favorite place to go. I recognize everything they do is to get my dollar, but it's all so well done, they deserve some of my money.ReplyDelete
Your daughter may not remember much from your trip, but I have no doubt she will remember meeting the real princesses!
I also have appreciation for how everything is so polished. I even liked the kitsch of the older rides. We're already planning our trip to Disney World for my husband's 40th birthday!ReplyDelete

85-year-old Pope Benedict XVI officially launches his own Twitter account Monday and you won't even join Facebook?
I have a few friends who have adamantly refused to join Facebook, calling it a "time suck." One, whom I respect, even laughingly refers to it as "Facepage."
OK, I get it. But it's Pope Benedict XVI, who in June 2011 actually sent his first tweet from the Twitter account for the Vatican news site, @news_va_en, to launch the new site.
So he has some experience but this new one to be unveiled Monday during a press conference will be his own personal account.
Should be an interesting kind of press conference, as not only will Vatican officials be in attendance but Twitter officials as well.
Vatican officials say the pope will be composing the tweets for the new account himself. For the first tweet from the account, the pope will also press the button to send the tweet himself, but after that others will send the tweets on his behalf.
Button? What? From a phone? A computer? Does he have a personal cell phone? If so, is it a Samsung Galaxy where he can share playlists by touching phones?
See, the Twitter announcement has opened a whole host of social media questions about the pope.
But I digress.
The tweets will go out in English, Spanish, French and Italian. Sounds like a full-time job for someone at the Vatican.
But Twitter by proxy? Sounds like a Kim Kardashian ploy.
Will we see Twitpics of the pope as well?
No one knows what his Twitter "handle" will be. Some speculate that it will be Benedictus PP XVI, the pope's signature in Latin, with the "PP" standing for papa, the Latin word for pope.
After eight years of Latin (and five years of French) myself, even I can come up with something a little catchier.
And he certainly not the first church/relgious leader to tweet.
I've been receiving tweets from the Dalia Lama (@DalaiLama) and Joel Osteen (@JoelOsteen) for more than a year.
In fact, when Osteen was in Northeast Ohio in mid-July, I was on the patio of Brio at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst having dinner with a co-worker when Osteen walked right by us enroute to the Apple store there but I didn't receive a tweet from him that he was there.
But I digress again.
I must say that I have eschewed receiving tweets from the Church of Scientology from the get-go as a matter of personal policy. As an Irish Catholic, I just can't get distracted by the mind games and proselytizing.
Now having the pope tweet is not quite on the level of God sending the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai but I must say I look forward to receiving his tweets.
One more thing.
I can only hope that, with more than a billion Catholics worldwide, he can quickly gain more followers than those TV/Hollywood/rock star celebrities.
In the most recent stats, pop singer Lady Gaga has 31,759,185 followers; then Justin Bieber has about 30 million; Katy Perry and Rihanna have 29 million and 27 million (respectively); and in fifth place is President Barack Obama at 24,042,970.
Kim Kardashian has 16,758,362.
I can only hope that Pope Benedict XVI quickly surpasses them all and maybe "Benedict fever" will finally outpace "Bieber fever."
Enjoy your week.

Not unlike the cry of the politicians we're certain to hear during this campaign year, Bobby Dean is hoping for "four more years!" If he can have them, Dean will have 50 years of service with Troop 281 of the Boy Scouts of America - 35 of them as Scoutmaster.
Dean, who'll be 80 on Sunday, has had two strokes and shoulder replacement surgery so his chances to make his "four more years" aren't up to the electorate but rather his health.
"I can't hike with the boys the way I used to," he said last week, "so I had to give up being Scoutmaster. But I can still do most everything else."
One of the things Dean does very well is guide young men to become Eagle Scouts, the highest rank in the program. In his years with Troop 281 he's had 116 "go through," as he says, and complete the program. He had five get their Eagle badges recently and two more will likely achieve the rank in the fall.
"It's a very demanding program," he said, "and it culminates with the boy developing and completing a program that's of benefit to others."
A visit to the Boy Scout Web site reveals that the project must be helpful to any "religious institution, school, or community," benefiting an organization other than scouting.
"There are a lot of other requirements the boys must meet along the way, culminating in the service project," Dean said. "Usually it takes (a boy) about four years to complete the Eagle program."
To have led 116 young men through this program is quite an accomplishment. Dean said that only about 4 percent of the 4 million or so boys in scouting achieve the rank of Eagle.
But even if they don't aspire to the highest level, Dean sees great benefit in Boy Scouts, structured for boys 10.5-18.

KUSA- The Washington County Sheriff's Office says they have located a missing father and son last seen July 2, 2012 in Longmont.
Monty Turner and 3-year-old Luke Turner were found in Akron, Colo., hiding in a box truck under some carpet at a relative's home.
They were located after an extensive search and surveillance by detectives at the Longmont Police Department.
The toddler's mother, Brandy Turner, told the Boulder Daily Camera, she and her husband, Monty, were struggling in their marriage and he moved out of their Longmont home in late June 2012.
She dropped off the boy with her husband for a July visit and grew concerned when he stopped responding to her.
She has now been reunited with her son. It was not immediately known if Monty Turner will face any charges. He did have parental rights to the child.
