In January 1, 1863 President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation took effect, freeing most slaves in the United States. In 1864 that Kentucky became the last state to allow the enlistment of slaves in the Union Army.
Like many Kentucky-owned slaves, Newton Bush risked his life to escape from his owner and travel to Camp Nelson and enlist in Company E of the 5th Regiment United States Colored Cavalry.
His story, "Reverend Newton Bush: Freedom at a Terrible Price, 1845-1925" will be presented Thursday, Feb. 7, at 12 noon in the J. B. Sowards Theatre on ACTC's College Drive Campus.
Bush was one of 24,000 men of color from Kentucky who joined the Colored Cavalry to fight for their freedom and a better life for the people they loved. It didn't take long for those soldiers to discover that joining the Army didn't result in being treated with respect, but eventually their bravery in battle earned the respect of the white soldiers.
For Bush and the troops in the Colored Cavalry, the fighting didn't end when the Civil War was over. They had endured slavery and risked their lives to preserve the Union, yet they spent the rest of their days in fear of being harassed and killed while fighting for freedom and equal citizenship.
Newton Bush is portrayed by Robert Bell, a Chautauqua Speaker for the Kentucky Humanities Council.
This Black History Month Program is supported by ACTC and community partners, including the NAACP of Boyd/Greenup Counties, City of Ashland Human Rights Commission, Highlands Museum & Discovery Center, and members of the medical community.

Skip to comments.Latino helps others build union power [Illegals entitled to Union/prevailing wages]
Posted on 02/19/2008 9:18:04 AM PST by XR7
Striding onto a Seattle-area work site with a white hard hat, Jimmy Matta converses in Spanish with Latino laborers who carry paintbrushes, power drills or spackling tools.
How much are you getting paid?
How many hours are you working?
Matta gives them his business card, promises his help and drives off to the next site.
A decade of organizing Latino construction workers is paying off for Matta, 32, who recently became the first Latino organizing director of the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters.
Born in Idaho to illegal migrant farmworkers, Matta spent much of his early childhood in the Central Washington cities of Quincy, Wenatchee and Ephrata and began working summers in the fields at age 10.
He is now among the union's senior leadership, responsible for organizing efforts in Western Washington, which accounts for nearly half of the union's 23,500 members in five states.
His promotion "is a big step forward for the carpenters and for the Latino population," said Chris Elwell, executive secretary of the Seattle-King County Building and Construction Trades Council.
At the same time, Matta and the carpenters union have been criticized for aggressively recruiting and going to the defense of nonunion Latino workers, many of them undocumented.
Sunday in Everett, Matta distributed checks to Latino drywall tapers as part of a class-action lawsuit over wages and overtime he helped bring about against a large Snohomish County drywall contractor.
Critics also have complained that the carpenters union goes beyond recruiting Latino carpentry workers to also solicit Latinos working as drywall tapers, painters and others who typically would be organized by other trade unions.
The carpenters union says its only aim is to help those whose illegal status leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and also those whom other unions have neglected...
(Excerpt) Read more at seattletimes.nwsource.com ...
"Si se puede!"
Why bother fighting this anymore?
The takeover is complete.
Hey, if they can't vote, at least their union dues will go to the dems........
This really plays to the Democrats. They were conflicted between their illegal hispanic voters and their union members. But with 2/3 of the union members now Hispanic, no es problema, hombre.
So much for cheap labor. Who would have guessed that illegals/poor mexicans would be seduced by democrats message of 'social justice' instead of capitialism?? Remember Bush sending Tony Snow on Rush's show to claim these are future Republicans? Well maybe so with Senior mCCain, Visva McCain, of course we have to give up a few issues, like tax cuts, ...
You know, I'd bet that even when McAmnesty gets his program passed they will still vote Dem.
Somebody needs to explain to this union thug and those illegal workers that their only usefulness lies in the fact that they can be paid cheap wages with no benefits.
When they start demanding equal pay, there will be no reason for them to be hired. Their buddies at the Chamber of Commerce, the Wall Street Journal, the meat packing plants, the landscapers, and the construction businesses will tell them to get lost.
Once they get uppity, maybe even McCain will tell them to get lost. And Tony Snow won't be lecturing us about whether we would rather pay $30,000 or $50,000 for that remodeling job. It will cost $60,000, with the differnce going to union dues which will NOT be spent on Republican candidates.
What ye sow, ye shall reap.
Arrest the Union leaders and seize their Union assets.
Sorry, but you are wrong.
Illegals ARE being hired - especially on the really big construction jobs that get municipal, state, and federal dollars/tax subsidies. In fact, the Latinos (illegal and legal) outnumber other ethnicities. And, they are getting union/prevailing wages.
Another reason... I hate unions!
We have no presidential candidate amongst the big three who will take care of this problem. So we'll have another 8 years of this probably doubling the number of illegals.
Some states are stepping up. That may be the way to go.
can anyone else shed some optimism on ths problem?
Unions have been organizing (with varying degrees of success) illegal laborers in my neck of the woods for some time now. They had an active outreach to the illegal Portuguese and Irish back in the 1970s and 1980s, so this doesn't come as a surprise.
While they may be incidents where illegals are being hired, you can not back up the claim that illegals are being hired universally with full pay and benefits.
And if they are "on the really big construction jobs that get municipal, state, and federal dollars/tax subsidies", they in violation of a lot of laws besides immigration that I doubt many firms would want to risk violating.
If you can prove this, send me the names of these companies and I will report them. I don't think you can or will.
Go ahead. . .get those illegals to join your union. No employer is going to risk employing illegals if they have to pay them the same as they pay American citizens.
Of course. Mark Levin put it exactly, given their education, dependence on government programs like food stamps, who will they follow? those who promise free college and health care and tax increases on rich, or capital gains tax cuts? McCain and Bush's plan for capturing this group of voters is similar to original plan for Iraq's occupation 2003 , if there is a plan , we cant see it
"So much for cheap labor."
It's a bluff. Sometimes these union apparatchiks make an attempt at seeming as if the illegals aren't depressing wages. This is done to keep the rank and file confused.
The union ruling class makes more money by increasing membership, not raising memberships' wages.
DING DING DING DING DING! We have a winer!
If employers are forced to pay illegals the prevailing wage, then the incentive to hire illegals evaporates. Toss in stepped-up enforcement, and it's definitely not worth the hassle.
Love or hate unions in general, we should be cheering for this effort -- it would be a potent disincentive for businesses to hire illegals, whether that's what the union intended or not.
You are correct, the fight is over. All 3 candidates still left in this race are pro illegals.
We are going to get amnesty, open borders, rampant disease, socialism, and a declining USA culture.
Just a short time away now.
There is no "plan" (I don't need no steenking plan).
Whomever comes up with these hair brain anti American, anti Constitutional ideas over at the RNC is just some wonk that 'thinks' the Rs will get some votes out of it.
They won't of course, but it sure as hell will destroy the country!
I only know of what I have been told. I work with a lot of construction workers here in Los Angeles and almost all are Hispanic. In Los Angeles you are required to pass a Contractors State test before becoming a contractor. It is not an easy test unless you have a photographic memory. Even if you understand what you are reading on plans it is often a debate as to the meaning of a note. With earthquake, wind, soil conditions and environmental concerns, building conditions are getting harder to discern.
The people I work with tell me that in Los Angeles you have to belong to the Union. You no longer need to be a licensed contractor, as an alternative you can also now show you are in the union. This is in Los Angeless mind acceptable. Never mind the fact that they dont check for legal citizenship or if you speak English or you have an education above 3rd grade.
Add to this that very few projects have Union members. No one can afford Union wages. The people that insist on Union workers are the government. Our Schools, our highways, Libraries, everything government related is Union and they dont check for legal status. This is the reason that our military bases have been hiring illegal aliens to do their work. It can be argued that by hiring Union Members you are hiring the worst of the worst.
I heard some union boss boast that it is not his responsibility to check the legal status of workers. Hey, but let them build a roof over your childs school.
Hear hear!
Of course. Mark Levin put it exactly, given their education, dependence on government programs like food stamps, who will they follow? those who promise free college and health care and tax increases on rich, or capital gains tax cuts? McCain and Bushs plan for capturing this group of voters is similar to original plan for Iraqs occupation 2003 , if there is a plan , we cant see it
Didn't you get that memo? Our betters at the country club have decided that with their presumed family values, even if the 1st generation goes democrat, their children or maybe their grandchildren will grow up to be fine, outstanding republican voters.
Wakeup Bush, McCain, Kemp : you don't create conservatives by government handouts, even if it's moving them to middle class. You create a religious belief and loyalty to government, which is seen as Mommy.
They don't risk it. They are only required by law to ask a potential hire to provide "proof" of being "legal." Any illegal can pick up a phoney SS card, drivers license, even a birth certificate - so well duplicated as to fool law enforcement - for about $400. That's all an employer needs to see. They don't run checks to verify, and they never check citizenship status - and the law does not require that they do. Even police officers are forbidden in most jurisdictions from doing so during stops for traffic violations (Recall the recent stir when an Arizona sheriff proposed doing that?). So, how many well-paid illegal alien construction workers are out there? Who knows? The unions don't care and they are signing 'em up!
The big, expensive construction jobs.
You said it.
And, you're right.
it's not JUST the prevailing wage but also the fact that being in a union makes you harder to fire or cast aside if you get hurt.
The whole reason you hire an illegal is that they toss these guys aside if they get hurt because they know La Migra is one step away if need be. They also are a more compliant workforce (wish they were so docile away from their jobs sites) than any American force would be and again, a union changes that.
I share your sentiments here, although I'd still rather try the Thompson plan of attrition.

Where are we with D/D Project?
Elena and I have been intouch I hope to speak with Nadyezhda soon. We at Charles Town are looking forward to seeing the children's descriptions posted soon
As you can see, the main part of us, in Cornellà, are waiting for Olga's student descriptions... Olga has written to me some time ago and one of her students added comments. We don't have fluent communication but we feel they are working and we hope to receive news from Alapaevsk soon.
I like Easter e-cards and I will be happy to receive them but I have not pupils for you!
You will have one e-card at least... from me :-)
Last week the students were able to chat LIVE with each other on Kidchat! It was the first time for the students in Italy and the second time for my students in Illinois. Since we had Monday off (that's when I have the students), they weren't able to finish their descriptions. They will finish them next Monday and also try to chat again. My students come in early before school starts and 8AM and Mara's students chat with them at the end of their school day.
This is a great project and the students are excited to be a part of it!
Theresa Allen
Cathedral of St. Raymond School
This experience sounds very motivating and interesting... Olga, what do you think about it?
Great to know the kidchat can be used. The chat system can for sure be improved. Any opinions/suggestions?
Thanks Theresa for sharing this nice experience with us. I hope other teachers will be able to do the same. Kidlink chat is a safe tool where only registered kids can chat- The users are identified by nicknames and they cannot be anonymous. Use of fake names or aliases is impossible, and the dialog between children is closely monitored.
Hello to all of you.
I have been taking care of students' chat for a long time. I try to encourage pupils to use our chat in Kidspace more regularly and I invite them to add some more news now and then.
Unfortunately my advice keep getting no results as you can see. There are lots of "Hi", "Anyone there?" or nonsense.
It's very difficult to find out why nice and interesting dialogues among students never start.
a-DomenicoF from Italy
We prompted them for our Math Stats Project. Once they started they didn't want to stop. They need what we call "ice breakers"

Children learn about Dakota history
NEW ULM – Area children got a chance to join in in the Brown County Historical Society's U.S.-Dakota Conflict events on Saturday at the New Ulm Public Library.
Lori Pickell-Stangel, who is the executive director of the McLeod County Historical Society, gave a presentation to a group of 15 children and 10 adults on the cultural history behind several Dakota conflicts. She performed in the character of a Dakota woman from before the arrival of pioneers.
Pickell-Stangel said the props she used are available to be rented out for educational events, and that she provides her performances for a small additional fee. She can be contacted by phone at 320-587-2109 and at the McLeod County Historical Society website: www.mcleodhistory.org
Following the presentation, the Wanda Gag House hosted a crafts event in the same area for the children (also pictured). The crafts involved drawing a story in Native American symbols on either a bookmark or on a homemade birch basket.
The events were part of the Brown County Historical Society's larger 2013 U.S.-Dakota War Commemoration.

Crossing the Prince Edward Island - Page 3
The PEI Crossing
At 5:05 AM on Sunday, August 12, Bradford – accompanied by Gaudet – set out from Tignish on the island's Northwest side along the trail – an abandoned railway that consists mostly of flat crushed gravel sections. Gaudet would accompany Bradford for what he estimates were the first 25k, and again for a 65k section through the night.
The run went on without a hitch at first, but then Bradford's skies darkened in more than one way.
"The first 100k went really smoothly, and we were chatting and running," Bradford says. "Then a rainstorm came in. It got really dark at night, with really, really heavy rain, torrential rain. It got really difficult to see, even with my headlamp."
"The night run was surreal," says Gaudet. "Bats crisscrossed our head beams throughout the night and raccoons seemed equally confused by the heat and our lights."
When it wasn't raining, Bradford had to deal with humidity and subsequent chafing – something relatively foreign to him. Despite the roadblocks, though, he covered the first 100 miles in under 24 hours. "My wife came out to crew and mule for me then, but I got sick and couldn't hold down food. I was dry heaving constantly. That point, with over 70 miles still to run, was one of the darkest points overall."
But he persisted – for unselfish reasons.
"I'd already told so many people and family members, and people had come to the island and rearranged their travel schedules to be there," Bradford says. "I decided it was something I was going to do whether my body wanted to or not."
"At this point my uncle got on a bike and rode with me," Bradford continues. "He rode probably 100k total, and then with 2k to go, at a road crossing, he got off and walked with my wife and I."
Bradford's wife also ran with him through the second night, when he says he experienced hallucinations. "With 50k or so to go, she joined me," he says. "It was great – I totally needed her. I would have been a wreck without her."
At 3:31 AM the second morning—46 hours, 26 minutes after setting out from the other side of the island, Bradford finished his traverse of the trail. Pending Gaudet's attempt, it is the only known completion of the trail in one shot – and the fastest.
"It was a big group effort, which was pretty amazing," Bradford says. "I remember during the second night, being overwhelmed with this sense of gratitude. It was really profound, like in that raw, emotional state you can get into when you beat yourself up that way. It was all the help I had."
"It became a lot easier when I just decided I needed to be there, to see it happen and have it all pay off for everyone," he goes on. "This had never happened before in a 100 – usually I'm in charge of deciding whether I'll be able to continue. When I abandoned that, when it wasn't my choice anymore, that was pretty helpful."

Rochester's favorite children's books?
Favorite books seem to be a hot topic this week. Maybe it's because school is starting again soon. Or maybe because we are approaching the perfect "huddle under a blanket with a good book" weather. Whatever the reason, books of some sort seem to be on all of our minds. The Sunday D&C Living section even had a list (from Writers and Books) of Rochester's favorite books. If I were to pick a favorite adult book it would probably be a classic like Jane Eyre or Rebecca.
But what about favorite children's books? I was recently invited to a baby shower and asked to bring a copy of my favorite children's book instead of a card. I love that idea and put a lot of thought into which book I would bring! I figured that they would end up with 10 copies of Goodnight Moon and I love You This Much, so I wanted to bring something different. One of my children's favorite books through the years has been The Foot Book.
"Left foot, left foot.
Right foot, right.
Feet in the morning.
Feet at night."
I can almost quote they entire book without even glancing at one of it's now bent, and somewhat torn pages. Then there's I'll Love You Forever. A very sweet, yet kind of depressing book. One mom told me that after reading that book to her son he said "I'll carry you when you get old, but don't expect me to change your diaper!"
No. I wanted a book that wasn't only different, but also left them with a smile on their face. And I knew the perfect one! Not only is it educational and can help with potty training, but no child (and some adults) can get through reading this book without giggling!
Hey! Don't knock it until you've read it! This has been an Armoto family favorite for years! When first learning to read, my oldest son Ethan used to love to read this book out loud when we had company. It also got us through quite a few potty training sessions.
So last night when I got to the baby shower I proudly set down a copy of Everyone Poops right next to 20 copies of I Love You This Much. I heard some snickers and whispering when they held up my gift and the book I chose to bring. But guess which book people wanted to look through on their way out of the shower?
So, what would you have brought to the shower? What is your family's favorite children's book? Leave a comment or share with us at Moms Like Me.

March 2014 - The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) just released the result of two decades of work on Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, in what will constitute the second part of its future Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
The work reveals that the effects of climate change are already felt in "natural and human systems on all continents and across the oceans" with great uncertainties about future vulnerability, and evaluates how to reduce the future risks through adaptation and mitigation.
The key concerns raised by the report include:
While effects are felt worldwide, some populations are more vulnerable than others. In the low-lying coastal areas and small islands, for instance, millions of people are facing relocation due to sea-level-rise and increased storm surges.
The Arctic is also particularly sensitive because:
The report emphasizes that adaptation is key. Luckily experience is accumulating worldwide, while governments are developing adaptation plans, and climate-change is being integrated into broader development plans.

Beautiful messy short haircut
When it comes to messy pixies there are no wrong way's to go. Just ruff it up and wear it proudly, it's all about confidence and how you sport it. It's one of those hair cuts that just exudes creativeness and originality in a women. We love how this one is layered and tousled in such a cool laid back manner. A great tip to achieving this look is using a nice and good quality men's hair paste. I strongly suggest KMS which hols the hair nicely but also smells amazing!

Resume: We discuss strategic renewal from a competence perspective. We argue that the management of speed and timing in this process is viewed distinctively when perceived through a cognitive lens. Managers need more firmly grounded process-understanding. The key idea of this paper is to dynamically conceptualize key activities of strategic renewal, and possible sources of break-down as they relate to the managment of speed and timing. Based on a case from the media industry, we identify managerial trade-offs and show how these can be influenced through managing subjective perception, strategic involvement and external knowledge-sourcing.

Brandl, Kristin Martina (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The global economy is perpetually changing to a highly knowledge-based economy in which services and especially knowledge-intensive services are increasingly offshored (geographically relocated) to emerging market economies such as India. This trend is interesting as for decades services had been characterized as intangible, perishable, heterogeneous and inseparable from their sources of origin making a geographic dispersion of service production and consumption unimaginable. Thus, the geographic relocation of the services is expected to infer organizational and operational reconfigurations also impacting the service production. The thesis studies these reconfigurations by questioning: how does offshoring impact on the production of services. In order to capture the unique characteristics of services and provide a thorough understanding of the phenomenon, detailed and dynamic analyses of activities and actors through process perspectives are argued to be necessary. Process perspectives allow studying relationships between actions and individual actors from an organizational and operational angle. Two process perspectives are applied in this thesis in three independent research papers. The first research paper studies the offshoring process as a strategic and organizational change process that leads to a misalignment of components of a services production system and questions how this impact elicits a reconfiguration of the system. The second and third paper investigates the offshored production process of knowledge-intensive services with a focus on actors in the processes and their activities. That is, the second paper questions how the increase of cognitive distance between actors inferred by offshoring changes the production of the services including costs and value outcomes. The third paper questions how offshoring impacts client co-production, i.e. the transfer and co-creation of knowledge, in a similarly designed service production process of knowledgeintensive business services. Collectively, this research shows that process perspectives on service offshoring are essential to study the impact of offshoring on service production. It also allows an understanding on the importance of actors and the causal links between them and activities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9046

Monografi om dobbeltheden i tænkning af strategi, dels som vidensfelt i organisationsteori, dels som kunstnerisk tilgang til at skabe i erhvervsmæssig innovationGylling, Martin (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This thesis is a study of processes of commercial artistic creation focusing on the practice of processual strategy in a context of designed strategy. The thesis focuses on the practice of processual strategy, seeing as strategy within the field is primarily understood and practised in a designerly approach. This concerns constructivist and objective thinking which, according to critical voices in organizationstudies, has difficulties explaining how strategic organisation creation gains a processual character. This is the critique that comes from the more poststructuralist positions in research on process theory and strategy, which in these years aims to move focus away from the dominance of designed strategy. I.e. an approach to practice understood as methodological individualism and pragmatic rationality (Chia & Holt 2009; Steyaert 2007; Stacey 2011; Hjorth 2012). Through recent poststructuralist currents in the field of processual strategy thinking and organisational entrepreneurship, for example Chia & Holt's creation philosophical research in strategy without design and Steyaert's (2007) thinking on the concept of entrepreneuring; the process theoretical thinking of entrepreneurship and innovation, the aim is to look beyond constructivist thinking of practice in order to understand processual dynamics in strategic work at the level of the organisation. In relation to this thinking the present thesis provides an empirically based discussion of processual strategy with an aim to contributing to the field of organisational entrepreneurship.

Toward a General TheoryMikkola, Juliana Hsuan (København, 2003)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The focus of this paper is to integrate various perspectives on product architecture modularity into a general framework, and also to propose a way to measure the degree of modularization embedded in product architectures. Various trade-offs between modular and integral product architectures and how components and interfaces influence the degree of modularization are considered. In order to gain a better understanding of product architecture modularity as a strategy, a theoretical framework and propositions are drawn from various academic literature sources. Based on the literature review, the following key elements of product architecture are identified: components (standard and new-to-the-firm), interfaces (standardization and specification), degree of coupling, and substitutability. A mathematical function, termed modularization function, is introduced to measure the degree of modularization embedded in product architectures, by taking the key elements as the main variables. Various managerial and theoretical implications of the modularization function are drawn. For instance, the function can be used as a framework to aid to examine various leveraging forces behind new product development, manufacturing, and supply chain management policies of a firm. The modularization function also allows us to study the implications of modularization from different theoretical perspectives, such as resource-based view of the firm and transaction cost economics. Finally, the application of the modularization function and its limitations are discussed. Key words: modularity, product architecture URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6287

A methodological approach applied to the volkswagen case in ArgentinaYoguel, Yoguel, Novick, Anabel Novick, Marin (Frederiksberg, 2000)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The purpose of this paper -as a part of a wider research project - is to analyze the concept of production network from a methodological and theoretical viewpoint based on a three-plane perspective. These dimensions are the linkages among agents, the innovation activities, and the social management technology, including work process organization and the social agreement generation model in force. It is an experimentally methodological approach that tries to go from a theoretical conceptualization of the phenomenon to its empirical evaluation. The questions guiding this research are as follows: 9 What are the variables and dimensions to be observed in the analysis of a group of interconnected firms in order to define a production network? Is it a unique definition or, on the contrary, does it involve a range of alternatives? What are the externalities generated by the agents who belong to one network? 9 What is the relationship between the network's firms' technological behavior and their organizational counterpart? How are learning processes in the business firms linked to their own training systems? Has the social management technology some differential role in the learning process and in the development of skills? How do knowledge transmission processes manifest themselves within the "network"? 9 What indicators are useful for the empirical identification of the different means of manifestation of the network according to the theoretical viewpoint adopted? How can those indicators be articulated in order to elaborate typologies intended for the identification of "hybrid" models? How can a complex indicator be built in order to show the different levels of circulation of intangible assets, development of learning processes and work process organization? In the first section, the conceptualization of the production "network" used in this paper is discussed. In the second section, most relevant variables and indicators are presented in order to feature the business firms and the network in terms of: a) type, quantity and quality of tangible and intangible exchanges among the agents; b) innovative capacity and learning; c) social management technology. Then we elaborate a typology of networks based on the consideration of the previous parameters. Lastly, in the fourth section, we discuss how the three dimensions interact in the case of Volkswagen and his forty main local suppliers. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8076

Backe, Lise (København, 2004)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The article analyses the multinational oil-company Shell's decision in 1997 to establish Shell International Renewables. Theoretically the analysis contributes to developing the garbage can decision-making model developed originally by Cohen, March and Olsen (1972) by adding the production of organisational identities to the model. Within the scientific field of business and the environment the article contributes to a new understanding of the relationship between decision-making, green organisational identities and the process of social construction of business opportunities. This relationship can be of a sort, where the corporations' greener organisational identities are the product of random organisational garbage can decision-making processes. In such processes the rationale that the protection of the natural environment can be viewed as a business opportunity gets into focus not before, but after the decision has happened. Thus, in the process of accounting for their decision the corporations are not just accounting for a particular decision, but also in a general sense contributing to socially constructing anew what can be considered a business opportunity – also for other corporations. In this process of socially constructing new business opportunities the corporations are drawing on cultural sources not just from the field of rhetoric of economics, but also from other cultural sources within the business sector and the society as such.

Resume: Firms do not exist because of the cost of using the price mechanism, but because they enable actions to be carried out concurrently in conformity with a particular design. This concurrent coordination, which production requires, is distinct from the evolutionary coordination, which is the unintended consequence of market transactions. The two processes are alternatives only to a limited extent. Evolutionary adjustment cannot bring about concurrent coordination, and irreducible uncertainty limits the scope of the planning which does. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8095

A Case Study of Branding and Identity Struggles in a Low-Prestige OrganizationFrandsen, Sanne (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This dissertation examines the relationship between corporate branding and identity work at organizational and individual levels in the context of a lowprestige corporation. It is based on 17 months of research undertaken as an inhouse ethnographer at MGP, a European based national telecommunication corporation. The study seeks to contribute to integrated corporate branding theory by adopting a critical perspective on the intra-organizational affects of brands and branding. The dissertation contains three papers, each of which contributes to discussions within corporate branding, organizational identity and identification, as well as to literature on management control and employee resistance. The findings demonstrate that the management adopts integrated corporate branding in a hypocritical manner, while employees in response develop a cynical distance to their work. While this may be interpreted as negative consequences, the dissertation argues that these are productive and have certain advantages for the management in the given context. Thus, the findings challenge the integrated corporate branding ideal of coherence between the external and internal dimensions of corporate branding as the only productive way to create a successful corporate brand.

Resume: The role of product and marketing innovation for productivity growth is addressed using survey and register data for the Danish economy. It is argued that marketing and product innovation are complementary inputs and that innovation activities are skill-intensive. It is found that product and marketing innovation in skill-intensive firms results in significantly faster productivity growth than in unskilled-intensive firms that introduce this combination of innovation activities. More precisely, an increase in the share of educated workers of one percentage point, increases productivity growth by around 0.1 percentage point in firms with product and marketing innovation. In addition, it is found that firms that engage in product innovation but not in marketing innovation or the other way around do not demonstrate a growth effect from their innovation activities. It is also found that product and marketing innovation has an independent role in productivity growth that cannot be attributed to organisational changes, even though the majority of innovative firms engage in this latter innovation type.

Resume: Product Market Integration, Comparative Advantages and Labour Market Performance* In a two-country model with trade driven by comparative advantages, it is considered how imperfectly competitive labour markets are affected by lower frictions in international goods trade. Easier goods trading is equivalent to increased mobility of employment across countries and thus a change in the trade-off between wages and employment faced by wage setters. While the effects of product market integration on the trade-off between wages and employment in general is ambiguous, it is shown that product market integration works like a general improvement in productivity via the specialization it allows through trade. Unambiguously, real wages and employment and welfare improve upon reductions in trade frictions, and therefore workers are better off irrespective of whether the market power of unions is enhanced or muted.

Resume: In this paper, we set up a two-country general equilibrium model where trade unions have wage bargaining power. We show that a decrease in trade distortions inducing further product market integration gives rise to specialization gains as well as a labour market reform effect. The implications of the specialization gains are similar to an increase in labour productivity, whereas the labour market reform effect is similar to an increase in the degree of competition in the labour market. Wages, employment and welfare increase as a result of further product market integration. It is interesting to note that the labour market reform effect of product market integration is achieved despite an increase in the wage level. JEL Classification: F15, J30, J50. Keywords: Trade frictions, wage formation, employment, welfare gains. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7655

Not So Great!
By Peck
from Florida
About Me Stylish
Packing was great but all shelves had big scratches on them. One had a sneaker or boot print on it. Obviously, these were done whever they pack the parts. Two of the boxes were covered with several sneaker/boot prints. Gray top had several scratches and a permanent serial number stamped on the top surface....had to cover it with a Bose speaker. Although very stylish, the directions were terrible. You would think these would be improved for all the money it cost. All wood parts were solid...unit is definitely built like a fort but definitely needed two people to do some of the installation. All in all I would never buy something so expensive over the internet again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Franklin County Environmental Judge Daniel Hawkins was disturbed and confounded by the case of the Klein brothers. Fred, Harry and Chris Klein, who are 71, 68 and 59, respectively, own the family home in Franklinton where they grew up.
The house has no running water, is structurally unsafe, smells of pet waste and is filled with belongings the brothers accumulated over decades of hoarding.
City code-enforcement workers have boarded up the house, and the brothers have moved into their 72-year-old sister's house next door.
"We didn't want to kick them out on the street and tear their house down," Hawkins said. "We wanted to find solutions."
But the judge learned there are no ready solutions to help hoarders. So he has decided to develop some.
Hawkins is working to establish an organized program to fight a recognized disorder that not only affects hoarders and their families but also spills into neighborhoods. He's talking with leaders of the Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County, county Adult Protective Services professionals and others.
Right now, there is no appropriate sentence Hawkins can give a hoarder convicted in his court of misdemeanor offenses. The offenses frequently involve animal neglect related to collecting and then being unable to care for too many stray cats, for example.
"I can't order someone to go to hoarding class or hoarding counseling, because there is no program," the judge said.
Hoarding is identified as a disorder by both the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association. About 75 percent of people with hoarding disorder also have other disorders, such as anxiety and depression, and about 20 percent have obsessive-compulsive disorder, said Dr. Delaney Smith, a psychiatrist who is the county ADAMH board's medical director.
David Lowenstein, a Columbus psychologist who estimates he has treated up to 25 people with hoarding disorder in his 30 years of practice, said they came to him for help with another problem, such as depression, and divulged their hoarding during treatment.
Lowenstein said he uses medication and counseling to treat his hoarding patients, who currently include a retired teacher who compulsively buys journals. She has about 5,000 blank journals, he said. "You would never know" because, like other hoarders, she keeps it hidden.
Hoarding can be dangerous. Floor-to-ceiling stacks of stuff pose a fire and health hazard. The reek of cat urine and dog feces and the rodents, insects and other vermin that can take up residence in and around a hoarder's home befoul the neighborhood and hurt property values.
Hawkins said he cannot quantify the scope of the problem in Franklin County, because hoarding cases are not broken out separately from the 800 to 1,000 cases his court handles every month.
Anecdotally, however, he said he handles enough cases to know it's a problem. He is currently dealing with separate criminal cases of older women hoarding cats as well as the civil case of the Klein brothers.
The planned court-based program would be the first of its kind in Ohio, said Hawkins and David Royer, executive director of ADAMH.
Fairfax County, Va., established in 1998 what is thought to be the first task force to help hoarders and their families.
Hoarding Connection of Cuyahoga County started within the past couple of years and includes about 20 partner agencies in the fields of elder care, social work and other disciplines. The group trains caregivers, social workers, medics and others on what to do if they encounter hoarding.
Hawkins and the mental-health professionals plan to develop a formal process to funnel hoarders, when appropriate, from the court to a mental-health center for evaluation and counseling, Royer said.
The judge already can order a mental-health evaluation as a condition of probation. But without a formal program and a mental-health center dedicated to working with the court, that has not been a good option. It will be, under the plans that are emerging, Royer said.
Hawkins hopes to begin the program this year. He does not have a cost estimate.
Royer said he is looking forward to the partnership.
"It's about putting the mental-health aspects of hoarding into the culture of how we think about hoarding and how we try to abate hoarding," he said. "If you don't develop a method to get to the root cause of hoarding, you will find yourself back there time and again."
Assistant city prosecutors who bring cases before Hawkins will attest to that.
Karmella Chivilo was already on probation for animal-neglect convictions related to hoarding cats in her Northwest Side apartment in 2011 when she was charged with the same offense last year. She is accused of neglecting nine sick, malnourished cats, according to court files.
"They keep multiplying," said Chivilo, a 71-year-old widow who lives on Social Security. "I have quite a few cats. I don't know how many. As soon as the weather gets better, I'll put them outside."
Chivilo's small apartment brims with cat climbing trees and toys and smells of cat urine. "It's too many, I agree," she said last week.
Hawkins, who was appointed to the bench in July and elected in November to fill an unexpired term, said he already was thinking there had to be a better way to resolve animal-hoarding cases when he was confronted with the Klein brothers.
The case has been pending since 2006, when the house was declared a public nuisance. Fixing it would cost $75,000. The county auditor values the property at $26,100.
Hawkins said he is sympathetic to the brothers and their desire to remain in their home, but he has to balance that with the fact that the house is unsafe.
He has not ruled yet on whether the house will be torn down. Jack D'Aurora, an attorney who is representing Harry and Fred Klein pro bono (the third brother declined help), said it is "pretty likely" it will be.
He is working to find the brothers another place to live and possibly a legal guardian.
Harry Klein has a different goal: "To get the house picked up so we can live in it, get it fixed up so it passes city code."

Coily braids with cornrows for African American women
This African-American head of hair rocks coils and dreads with dark brown roots and golden brown ends. Short hair is sectioned and tightly coiled into small springy corkscrews of hair. The roots show the dark brown underneath the lighter golden brown of the ends. Across the crown, a section starting from the hairline is closed off and filled by diagonal cornrows, an accent piece --- or area --- to an urban, hip, women's hairstyle.

USA Taekwondo's 2009 U.S. Open will boast the biggest field in the history of the event. Set to take place Feb. 12-15 at the Las Vegas Tropicana Hotel, the U.S. Open will feature 1,741 athletes (surpassing the previous high of 1,637) as well as 461 coaches and 55 international referees.
There will be 59 different nations represented, including 17 national teams and 13 Olympians from the 2008 Beijing Games. The U.S. contingent will represent 47 states and include 2008 Olympian Charlotte Craig (Murietta, Calif.).
Also, for the first time in the history of the U.S. Open, the event will utilize the LaJust Electronic Body Protectors as a scoring system for the 14-17 year-old and adult (18-32 year-old) sparring divisions.
In addition, the U.S. Olympic Committee will be producing a highlight airing from this year's U.S. Open in Las Vegas. The 40-50 minute webcast will appear soon after the event on the USOC's website, http://www.teamusa.org/.
"We are excited and gratified to see unprecedented worldwide support for this important event," said USA Taekwondo CEO David Askinas. "The U.S. Open has long been recognized as one of the premier world events in the sport of taekwondo and USA Taekwondo is known for running the highest level events in the world. We worked very hard to secure a venue in Las Vegas for this event. We also dedicated ourselves to marketing the event for the last six months domestically and internationally and those efforts have clearly paid off. I also think it is fair to say that there is clearly interest in attending a high level taekwondo competition featuring the LaJust electronic body protector scoring system. There is a very good chance this system will be chosen for the upcoming world championships. If you combine all of those factors with the international lure of a Las Vegas vacation there was definitely a chance to make history this year. We are investigating the possibility of making Las Vegas a semi-permanent home for the event and we will be polling our customer base to gauge their interest in returning to Las Vegas in future years."
As part of its world ranking system which came into effect on January 1, 2009, the World Taekwondo Federation gave the 2009 U.S. Open the only G-2 rating among the international opens on the 2009 calendar. All other international opens were rated G-1.

- Charlotte Craig - USA
- Matt Beach - New Zealand
- Deepak Bista - Nepal
- Bineta Diedhiou - Senegal

Chicken Fried Steak
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 cube steaks, about 1 to 1 1/4-pounds
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- Sawmill Gravy, recipe follows
- Sawmill Gravy:
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage, small diced (patties may be used and broken into small pieces)
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
In a pie pan, whisk together the egg and milk. In a second pie pan, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, cayenne, salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste.
Season the beef with salt and pepper and dredge the steaks in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess, then submerge them in the milk and egg. Dredge them again in the flour mixture. Make sure both sides are well coated with the egg mixture before dredging them for the second time. Dust off the excess flour and set aside.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and fry until their coatings become golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove them to a plate lined with a brown paper bag or paper towels to drain. Arrange them on serving plates and serve with the Sawmill Gravy.
Brown the sausage in a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet, over medium heat. When fully cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, over low heat, add the canola oil. Whisk in the flour and cook, constantly stirring, until the flour turns a pale golden color, about 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and thyme and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Return the reserved sausage to the skillet and season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Serve alongside the Chicken Fried Steak.

A workshop to explore the concept of the GRAMMATICAL WORD from diverse theoretical perspectives, and its role in neuropsychological and computational models of morphology.
The concept of WORD is notoriously difficult to define. Besides denoting a prosodic unit (the phonological word) and a semantic unit (the lexeme), WORD is often used as a morphosyntactic unit: the grammatical word. This concept unifies concerns of inflectional morphology and morphophonology. It is the term on which paradigmatic relationships are defined. The grammatical word plays an important role in modelling storage and processing of lexical and grammatical information, in psychology and computer science as well. The linguistics department at UC Davis is organizing an interdisciplinary symposium on the grammatical word, to explore how different perspectives (theoretical and experimental) may converge in expanding our understanding of this multifaceted concept.
Invited Speakers:
Arto Anttila (Stanford U., Linguistics)
Brian Joseph (OSU, Linguistics & Slavic Lang. & Lit.)
Martha McGinnis (U. of Victoria, Linguistics)
Lee Osterhout (U. of Washington, Psychology)
Owen Rambow (Columbia U., Ctr. for Computational Learning Systems)
Organizer: Raúl Aranovich (UC Davis, Linguistics)
