ERIE-WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA PORT AUTHORITYv.JOSEPH RUGARE, D/B/A JULIE MARIE LAKE RIDES, APPELLANT
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County in case of Erie-Western Pennsylvania Authority v. Joseph Rugare, d/b/a Julie Marie Lake Rides, Nos. 49 and 58 Equity 1975.
Daniel J. Beggy, with him Mansmann, Beggy & Campbell, for appellant.
Paul F. Curry, with him Stephen E. Jones, William C. Sennett, and Knox, Graham, Pearson, McLaughlin and Sennett, Inc., for appellee.
President Judge Bowman and Judges Crumlish, Jr., Wilkinson, Jr., Mencer, Rogers and Blatt. Judge Kramer did not participate. Opinion by Judge Rogers.
[ 29 Pa. Commw. Page 84]
The narrow issue of this case is that of whether the exercise of regulatory authority by the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority (Port Authority) over ferryboat operations at the port of Erie, Pennsylvania, pursuant to the Third Class City Port Authority
[ 29 Pa. Commw. Page 85]
Act (Act)*fn1 preempts the regulatory authority of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (P.U.C.).
The Port Authority was created by ordinance of the City of Erie adopted pursuant to the Third Class City Port Authority Act. The Port Authority acquired land commonly known as the Erie public docks and the docking berths appurtenant which were formerly owned by the City. The Port Authority prepared leasing agreements for its public docks and berths, which described, inter alia, the services to be rendered and the rates to be charged for such services by the successful bidder.*fn2 In the spring of 1975 the Port Authority publicly advertised for bids for the leasing of the public dock facilities.
The appellant, Joseph Rugare, an individual doing business as Julie Marie Lake Rides and Ferry Service, has been transporting passengers on Lake Erie as a common carrier under rights granted by a P.U.C. Certificate of Public Convenience. The certificate permits the transportation by watercraft of persons between the public docks in the City of Erie and the pier on the north side of the entrance channel to Erie Harbor.
Upon receipt of a copy of the Port Authority's proposed lease and specifications, Rugare filed a complaint in equity in the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County seeking injunctive relief, alleging that the leasing specifications were a usurpation by the Port Authority of the P.U.C.'s power to set schedules and rates for common carriers, exercised by the grant of a certificate of public convenience to the plaintiff.
[ 29 Pa. Commw. Page 86]
The Port Authority then filed its complaint against Rugare seeking an order restraining the defendant from trespassing on the public docks and berths. Judge Fred P. Anthony, noting that the parties had stipulated that the only issue was whether or not the Port Authority had regulatory authority to the exclusion of the P.U.C. and concluding on the authority of the Act that it did, enjoined Rugare from using the public dock facilities in his business and from the unauthorized use of water routes within the jurisdiction of the Port Authority. Exceptions filed by Rugare were dismissed by the court en banc and Rugare appealed to this Court.*fn3 We affirm.
As the trial judge noted, the Third Class City Port Authority Act is new and there are no cases construing it. The problem is one purely of statutory construction. The cardinal principle that the plain words of a statute cannot be disregarded where the language is free and clear from all ambiguity*fn4 is controlling here.
The Legislature stated the purposes of the port authorities authorized by the Act in Section 3(a), 55 P.S. § 573(a), as those of "planning, acquiring, holding, constructing, improving, maintaining and operating, owning, leasing, either as lessor or lessee, port facilities and equipment." A port facility is defined by Section 2 of the Act, 55 P.S. § 572, as
[including] all real and personal property used in the operation of a port terminal,*fn5 including, but without being limited to, wharves, piers, ships, ferries, docks, graving docks . . .
[ 29 Pa. Commw. Page 87]
pleas of the county wherein the authority is incorporated. The court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine the reasonableness of fares, rates and other charges or services fixed, altered, charged or collected by an authority. The court shall make such order as to fares, rates and other charges or services as to it shall be just and proper. . . . (Emphasis supplied.)
To establish carrier routes and services, including water routes and water services as it deems necessary for the efficient operation of the port; provided, that the authority shall not engage in the transportation of property by motor vehicle outside the port terminal without the approval of, and subject to regulations by, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
Our reading of these provisions convinces us, as it did the Erie County Court of Common Pleas, that the Erie Port Authority has the power to regulate passenger ferryboat operations at the Port of Erie, exclusive of the P.U.C. The definition of public facilities, over which the Port Authority is given broad powers, clearly includes the public docks and facilities which the Authority leased. As noted by Judge Anthony for Erie County Court, the use of the word "exclusively" in Section 573(b)(9) clearly demonstrates the Legislature's intention to give the Port Authority sole power to determine the existence and extent of public necessity for all water services and matters incident thereto. The statutory directive that the Court of Common Pleas have exclusive jurisdiction to determine the reasonableness of "fares, rates, and other charges and services" precludes the exercise of the same power by the P.U.C.
Section 3(b)(20), 55 P.S. § 573(b)(20), grants the Port Authority power to establish water carrier routes
[ 29 Pa. Commw. Page 89]
and services. The same provision specifically preserves the regulatory power of the P.U.C. over motor vehicle transportation of property outside the port terminal. The preservation of P.U.C. jurisdiction in this regard together with the absence of any provision saving its powers otherwise demonstrates that the Legislature in granting broad powers to the Port Authority was mindful of the effect of the legislation upon P.U.C.'s former regulatory powers.
The appellant directs our attention to Section 9 of the Third Class City Port Authority Act, 55 P.S. § 579, which provides that "[a]ll contracts and purchases [of the port authority] shall be made in accordance with the . . . 'Third Class City Code.'"*fn6 Section 1913 of the Third Class City Code, 53 P.S. § 36913, authorizes cities of this class to enter into contracts with public transportation companies "[s]ubject to the provisions of the Public Utility Law." The appellant says that the effect of these provisions is that the Port Authority has no power to control by lease or otherwise his fares, schedules and methods of operation, since these matters are by the Public Utility Law committed to the P.U.C. The error in this argument lies in the appellant's overbroad interpretation of Section 9 of the Third Class City Port Authority Act. The statute says that contracts and purchases of the Port Authority shall be made in accordance with -- that is, shall be let or made in the manner provided by -- the Third Class City Code; not that the substance and subject matter of the Port Authority's contracts must conform to the limitations on city contracts imposed by the Third Class City Code.
We are mindful of the general principle that the General Assembly believes that sound public policy requires that public utilities be regulated by agencies
[ 29 Pa. Commw. Page 90]
of the Commonwealth with statewide jurisdiction rather than by local authorities who might exercise their powers with an eye toward the local situation and not in the best interest of the larger public. Duquesne Light Co. v. Monroeville Borough, 449 Pa. 573, 298 A.2d 252 (1973); Commonwealth v. Delaware & Hudson Railway Co., 19 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 59, 339 A.2d 155 (1975). That principle, however, has no application where there is express statutory grant of power to local authorities. Subsections (b)(9) and (b)(20) of Section 3 of the Third Class City Port Authority Act clearly demonstrate the General Assembly's intention to allow the creation of a Port Authority in Erie with exclusive authority and power to provide the facilities and to regulate the services needed in the Port of Erie.
Appellant also says that comparison of the Third Class City Port Authority Act with the Second Class County Port Authority Act, Act of April 6, 1956, P.L. 1414, as amended, 55 P.S. § 551 et seq., supports a conclusion that the General Assembly did not intend by the former to confer the power on local authorities to regulate transportation systems. In the Second Class County Port Authority Act, the term transportation system is defined as including property useful in the transportation of passengers for hire, and the Authority is given power to acquire and operate transportation systems. Since no definition of a transportation system appears in the Third Class City Port Authority Act, the appellant asks us to conclude that the Legislature intended not to confer power on Third Class City port authorities to regulate such systems. Overlooked in this thesis is the fact that, as its title says, a principal purpose of the Second Class County Port Authority Act was to improve mass transportation in populous Allegheny County. Naturally no such concern appears in the title of the Third Class City
[ 29 Pa. Commw. Page 91]
Port Authority Act. Hence, the absence in the Third Class City Port Authority Act of mention of transportation systems as a subject of regulation does not cause us to hesitate to affirm the Erie Port Authority's regulatory powers over those using its facilities so clearly conferred by statute.
And Now, this 3rd day of March, 1977, the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Erie County, made June 11, 1975, is affirmed.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE,v.RAUL ORTEGA-ALVAREZ, CIRILO FIGUEROA, CHARLES BUSIGO-CIFRE, ARMANDO ALVAREZ, CIRO RODRIGUEZ CALANA, JORGE INFIESTA, AND DOMINGO DEL CRISTO, APPELLANTS
Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Charles M. Metzner, Judge, entered after a jury trial convicting appellants of conspiracy to traffic in narcotics in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 173-74 and of substantive violations of those sections. Affirmed. SHIRAH NEIMAN, Assistant United States Attorney (Paul J. Curran, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, on the brief; Daniel J. Beller, Alan R. Kaufman, John D. Gordan, III, Assistant United States Attorneys, of counsel), for Appellee.
Hays, Anderson, and Mansfield, Circuit Judges.
Ortega-Alvarez, Calana, Infiesta, Cifre, Del Cristo, Alvarez, and Figueroa appeal from judgments of conviction for conspiracy to violate 21 U.S.C. §§ 173-74*fn1 and for substantive violations of those sections entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York after a jury trial. We affirm.
This is another in a long line of cases involving major conspiracies to distribute narcotics. By March 1970 appellant Ortega-Alvarez had received 45 kilograms of heroin from a 60 kilogram shipment which had been smuggled into the United States from South America. With the help of Calana and others, he prepared the heroin for distribution and then sold it to a long list of customers. Each of the other five appellants was charged with buying at least one kilogram of heroin from the 45 kilogram supply. Apparently basing its conclusions largely on the testimony of Rodriguez and Gonzalez, two conspirators who were not defendants in the case, the jury found all seven of the appellants guilty of the conspiracy count against them, and it found all but Cifre guilty of the substantive charges as well.
The appellant buyers claim that their conspiracy convictions should be reversed because the evidence did not show a single, far-flung conspiracy as charged in the indictment, but, if anything, a series of smaller, self-contained conspiracies. In light of our numerous decisions in narcotics conspiracy cases, this argument is totally unpersuasive.
It is firmly settled in this Circuit that when large quantities of heroin are being distributed, each major buyer must be presumed to know that he is part of a wide-ranging venture, the success of which depends on the performances of others whose identities he may not even know. United States v. Mallah, 503 F.2d 971, Slip op. at 5495-97 (2d Cir. 1974); United States v. Arroyo, 494 F.2d 1316, 1319 (2d Cir. 1974), cert. denied, 419 U.S. 827, 95 S. Ct. 46, 42 L. Ed. 2d 51 (1974); United States v. Bynum, 485 F.2d 490, 495-96 (2d Cir. 1973), vacated on other grounds, 417 U.S. 903, 94 S. Ct. 2598, 41 L. Ed. 2d 209 (1974). The jury in this case had sufficient evidence to find that there was a single conspiracy, even though several of the members participated directly in relatively few of the transactions involved.
The jury also had sufficient evidence, despite some inconsistencies in the testimony of the government's witnesses, to find that each of the appellants was a member of the conspiracy and was guilty of the substantive charges of which he was convicted.
Appellant Cifre was the only defendant convicted on the conspiracy count but acquitted of the substantive charges against him. He argues that the jury verdict as to him was inconsistent and that his conspiracy conviction should therefore be reversed. Appellant's argument was rejected by this court in United States v. Zane, 495 F.2d 683, 690 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 419 U.S. 895, 95 S. Ct. 174, 42 L. Ed. 2d 139 (1974), and we reject it again.
Appellant Ortega-Alvarez claims that his prosecution was barred by the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment. His argument is based on his 1971 conviction in the Southern District of Florida for selling narcotics not in their original stamped package in violation of 26 U.S.C. §§ 4704(a) and 7237.*fn2 While it is true that the 1971 conviction arose out of a sale which was also part of the present conspiracy, there is no basis for a claim of double jeopardy. Multiple violations of the narcotics laws arising out of a single transaction may be tried separately. United States v. Nathan, 476 F.2d 456, 458-59 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 414 U.S. 823, 94 S. Ct. 124, 38 L. Ed. 2d 56 (1973). The only requirement is that the elements of each offense be significantly distinct from those of the other offenses. See United States v. Cioffi, 487 F.2d 492, 496-98 (2d Cir. 1973), cert. denied sub nom. Ciuzio v. United States, 416 U.S. 995, 94 S. Ct. 2410, 40 L. Ed. 2d 774, 42 U.S.L.W. 3629 (1974); United States v. Sabella, 272 F.2d 206, 210-11 (2d Cir. 1959). A charge of a wide-ranging narcotics conspiracy consisting of numerous transactions is certainly sufficiently distinct from a charge of a substantive violation based on a single sale. United States v. Cioffi, supra at 497 n.6, 498. Ortega-Alvarez' prosecution for conspiracy was therefore in no way barred by his prior conviction for selling narcotics not in their original stamped package.*fn3
Ortega-Alvarez also argues that since he was originally indicted in Florida for conspiracy and agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge with the understanding that the conspiracy charge would be dropped, the government is now prohibited by the due process clause from prosecuting him for that same conspiracy. However, there is nothing in the record which establishes that such an understanding was in fact reached. The rule is that when an indictment is dismissed before trial upon the government's motion under Rule 48(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the dismissal is without prejudice to the government's right to reindict for the same offense, unless the contrary is expressly stated. DeMarrias v. United States, 487 F.2d 19, 21 (8th Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 980, 94 S. Ct. 1570, 39 L. Ed. 2d 877 (1974); United States v. Davis, 487 F.2d 112, 118 (5th Cir. 1973), cert. denied, 415 U.S. 981, 39 L. Ed. 2d 878, 94 S. Ct. 1573 (1974); United States v. Chase, 372 F.2d 453, 463-64 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 387 U.S. 907, 18 L. Ed. 2d 626, 87 S. Ct. 1688 (1967).
Appellant Infiesta claims that his conviction should be reversed on the ground that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at trial. He argues that his trial counsel failed to consult with him sufficiently before the trial and failed to cross-examine government witnesses properly at the trial. Under our decisions, a conviction may be reversed for ineffective assistance of counsel only when the representation is so inadequate "as to shock the conscience of the Court and make the proceedings a farce and mockery of justice." United States v. Wight, 176 F.2d 376, 379 (2d Cir. 1949), cert. denied, 338 U.S. 950, 94 L. Ed. 586, 70 S. Ct. 478 (1950); see United States ex rel. Walker v. Henderson, 492 F.2d 1311, 1312 (2d Cir. 1974); United States v. Currier, 405 F.2d 1039, 1043 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 395 U.S. 914, 23 L. Ed. 2d 228, 89 S. Ct. 1761 (1969). Under that stringent standard, which we have recently reaffirmed, United States v. Yanishefsky, 500 F.2d 1327, 1333 n.2 (2d Cir. 1974), Infiesta's claim clearly lacks merit.
Appellant Figueroa claims that his prosecution violated the Fifth Amendment because he was singled out for prosecution while other, more important figures in the conspiracy were not indicted. However, under United States v. Berrios, 501 F.2d 1207, Slip op. at 5158-59 (2d Cir. 1974), a defendant claiming a discriminatory prosecution must show not only that others similarly situated were not prosecuted but also that the decision to prosecute him was based on impermissible considerations such as race or religion. See United States v. Bland, 153 U.S. App. D.C. 254, 472 F.2d 1329, 1336 (1972), cert. denied, 412 U.S. 909, 36 L. Ed. 2d 975, 93 S. Ct. 2294 (1973); cf. Oyler v. Boles, 368 U.S. 448, 456, 7 L. Ed. 2d 446, 82 S. Ct. 501 (1962). Figueroa has failed even to allege such invidious discrimination in this case.
Figueroa also asks for reversal on the ground that the district court should have granted his motion for severance. We find no basis for concluding that the defendants suffered "substantial prejudice" as a result of being tried jointly. The district court's determination should therefore not be disturbed on review. United States v. Fantuzzi, 463 F.2d 683, 687 (2d Cir. 1972).
Appellants have raised several other points which we have considered but which do not merit further discussion.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Roofy100 I use this! I like to wear men's smellies sometimes and knowing that I love the women's fragrances I chanced buying this. It's lovely - fresh but woody - and suits my more masculine moods! September 13, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by AULDYIN WONDERFUL STUFF This has been my favourite make for men for nearly 40 years since my wife first bought it for me as a present. The packaging was changed 5 or 6 years ago and I firmly believe that Roger & Gallet regrettably did something to the composition of the aftershave balm. I used to prefer it but it now remains far too "sticky" long after applying it so I won't be buying it any more. Fortunately, the Eau de Toilette still seems to be the same and is still excellent. October 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by spangles47 Purchased as a gift. Unable to comment at the moment. I expect it will be well received and appreciated, as all my gift purchases from escentual have been September 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by drastrov Hugely underrated fragrance This is such a great masculine all-rounder. Subtly spicy with a deep amber and woodsy richness. I don't get any mint myself, more of an understated floral vibe, with a soapy, almost barbershop feel. Not a very young man's fragrance, but equally no "old man scent" danger here. Decent longevity too. This really deserves to be better known! May 24, 2015

The five companies covered in this article have an average earnings per share (EPS) growth projection for the next year of over 73%. A company's EPS is conceivably the most important statistic to understand before investing in a stock. Each time you consider starting a position in a stock, you should prudently scrutinize its profitability EPS information. The reason earnings are so vital to investors is that they tell you about the relative profitability of a company. EPS is the most important derivative of profitability for a shareholder.
Additionally, our five stocks have share prices trading under $10. Stocks trading for under $10 often tend to have increased volatility. However, as we all know, the higher the risk, the higher the reward. The stocks selected are S&P 500 stocks with market caps of more than $2 billion. We use a speculative screen to find companies that may provide more bang for your buck.
Finally, the shares are trading well below their consensus estimates and 52 week highs. The companies are trading on average 37% below their 52 week highs and 64% below their consensus analysts' estimates. These stocks appear undervalued to me. We are in the midst of a sell off based on macroeconomic and geopolitical issues. Often, this is precisely the time to pick up shares in out of favor stocks with strong fundamentals and catalysts for future growth.
Now, simply screening for S&P 500 stocks with high EPS growth rates, share prices under $10 and trading significantly below consensus and 52 week highs is only the first step to finding winners that may provide alpha. In the following sections, we will take a closer look at these stocks to determine if the price is justified. We will perform a brief review of the fundamental and technical state of each company. Additionally, we will discern if any upside potential exists based on sector, industry or company specific catalyst. The following table depicts summary statistics and Tuesday's performance for the stocks.
LSI Corporation (LSI)
LSI ended the day down 1.55% at $7.59. The stock has a projected EPS growth rate for next five years of 16.38%. The company is trading down 17.39% from its 52 week high and 52% below its consensus price target of $11.50. LSI has a rock-solid balance sheet with over 20% of market cap in cash. LSI has a five year projected PEG ratio of .67. Analysts are expecting greater than 20% sales growth in FY2012. During the latest earnings call, the company raised quarterly revenue guidance to $585 to $615 million, up from $550 to $590 million previously.
The stock has been in a short term downtrend since mid-March and broken through the 50 day SMA. Currently, LSI is trading 9% above its 200 day SMA. The 200 day SMA should provide substantial support for the stock. I would wait for the stock to test the 200 day SMA prior to starting a position.
Micron Technology Inc. (MU)
MU ended the day down 3% at $6.02. The stock has a projected EPS growth rate for next year of 200%. The company is trading down 44.62% from its 52 week high and 79% below its consensus price target of $10.72. MU is trading at 75% of book value and has a forward PE ratio of 9.87.
The big catalyst for Micron is the potential acquisition of defunct competitor Elpida Memory. Micron has confirmed at least part of the chatter, saying it is indeed in talks to acquire Elpida Memory. No official word on media reports that Micron has offered more than ¥200B ($2.5B) for the bankrupt Japanese chipmaker. Analysts see this acquisition as a positive catalyst for Micron. The acquisition will consolidate the DRAM market and hopefully stabilize pricing. Micron has recently broken below its 200 day SMA. This is not a bullish sign. I would wait for the news to come out regarding the Elpida acquisition and buy start a position once the stock breaks back through the 200 day SMA, which is now resistance rather than support.
Sprint Nextel Corp. (S)
S ended the day down 1.2% at $2.49. The stock has a projected EPS growth rate for next year of 29.90%. The company is trading down 61.71% from its 52 week high and 69% below its consensus price target of $4.20. S is trading at 70% of book value.
A major catalyst for Sprint is a recent contract it signed with the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA). Sprint has won a contract with the WSCA to become one of several providers of telecom services covering 15 states including Alaska, Hawaii, California, Minnesota and South Dakota. The alliance, made up of mostly state and local government agencies such as emergency services, healthcare and public education along with several non-profit organizations, provides telecom services these entities might not have been able to afford if purchasing on their own through cooperative financing and purchasing.
Sprint's stock has been consolidating since mid-April in the $2.50 range. I see this as an opportunity to start a position at this level.
SandRidge Energy, Inc. (SD)
SD ended the day down 7.46% at $6.20. The stock has a projected EPS growth rate for next year of 94.44%. The company is trading down 49.84% from its 52 week high and 72% below its consensus price target of $10.60. SD is trading at nearly two times book value.
Analysts expect earnings to grow exponentially over the next two years. In a recent interview with Seeking Alpha, CEO Tom Ward stated he expects to triple the stock price in three years. The stock is selling for less than seven times cash flow.
SandRidge is oversold using the Relative Strength Index (RSI). A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. Even so, I would wait for a change in the recent trend prior to starting a position. The stock has broken through the 50 and 200 day SMAs and is not exhibiting any changes in the near term trend. I am disappointed with the stock's recent performance. I remand bullish on the long-term prospects for the stock and am looking for some semblance of a bottom to start a position.
Regions Financial Corp. (RF)
I am bullish on Regions in the long-term, nevertheless after the recent news came out about JPMorgan's $2 billion dollar snafu, I am steering clear of all financial stocks. I know Regions does not have the same set of exposures as the large global money center banks, but I don't see a clear positive catalyst for the financial sector right not. I believe the rest of the year will be filled with headlines regarding banking regulations. I am avoiding the financial stocks for the foreseeable future. Global money center banks haven't found a bottom yet and regional banks will be dead money until the issues are resolved.
These stocks have positive catalysts for future growth, are trading at significant discounts and have positive future EPS growth rates. Sprint looks good at this level. SandRidge, Micron and LSI need to improve somewhat technically prior to starting a position. I like Regions, but believe it is unfairly going to be stagnant along with the rest of the banking sector until the regulatory issues are cleared up.
Use this information as a starting point for your own due diligence and research methods before determining whether or not to buy or sell a security. If you choose to start a position in any stock, I suggest layering in a quarter at a time on a weekly or monthly basis to reduce risk. If you want to minimize losses even further consider setting a 5% trailing stop loss order as well.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in S over the next 72 hours.

These mashed potatoes can be made ahead, then baked in the oven or reheated in a crockpot. Perfect for Thanksgiving and very creamy.
Ingredients Nutrition

- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 3⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- Peel and cut potatoes into quarters.
- Boil just until soft.
- Drain potatoes, reserving a moderate amount of the cooking water.
- Start mashing potatoes by hand or in a mixer.
- Add cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper, sour cream and butter.
- Continue mashing until the desired consistency is reached and ingredients are well blended.
- Note: Some of the reserved cooking water can be added if the potatoes are too thick.
- Put in a buttered casserole dish (or crockpot).
- Dot top with additional butter if desired.
- Bake uncovered in oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
- If making ahead, refrigerate; then bake for 50 minutes in oven or heat thoroughly in crockpot.

Entrepreneurship and Organization by Seiichiro Yonekura
Book DescriptionEntrepreneurship is at the top of the social, political, and economic agenda. It is seen as essential to economic growth and, as a result, policy-makers worldwide are devising strategies that encourage and promote entrepreneurial activity. However, despite the importance attached to entrepreneurship in innovation and economic growth, the entrepreneur remains a strangely elusive and intriguing character. While entrepreneurship has been examined previously from the standpoint of various disciplines such as economics and sociology, this volume focuses on entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial organization from a business history perspective. Well-known international scholars place entrepreneurship in recent historical context and explore organizational innovation in firms from different sectors in America, Europe, and Japan. The coverage spans the entire twentieth century, from the beginnings of the radio communications industry in Europe to the computer networking industry of Silicon Valley, and includes chapters on Bill Gates and Microsoft, corporate renewal in Sony and Samsung, and R&D and leadership succession in large British companies, such as Glaxo, Courtaulds, and Unilever. Other chapters throw light on companies and sectors that are perhaps unfamiliar to English-language readers, such as the German retailing sector, the Spanish motor industry, and Japan's video game business. Three broad themes are addressed in the volume. The first examines the role of the entrepreneur in the creation of new firms and industries, arguably the raison d'etre of the entrepreneur. It does so by looking at entrepreneurship in five separate sectors in different countries. The second theme addresses the institutional and organizational factors facilitating entrepreneurship and innovation, for example the role of the venture capital industry, the 'hiving-off' process of entrepreneurship, and corporate renewal by internal entrepreneurship. The final theme investigates entrepreneurship in periods of transition, looking in particular at organizations in Britain and Japan to illustrate examples of corporate success and failure in making transformation.
