Resume: This paper suggests that it is time to take the agency of teams seriously. Whereas the debate has previously focused on how firms may function more effectively by using team-based work-organization, our aim is to discuss and understand how teams effect the evolutionary dynamic of companies. Fieldwork in four Danish manufacturing companies helped us discover that firms as "communities of teams" are highly dynamic entities with complex layers of different team forms that operate, innovate and improve by constantly recombining work, collaborating across organizational divisions and redistributing authority, thereby challenging some of the existing "idioms" of team research and theories of the firm. The paper builds on these findings as we attempt to rethink research on teams by re-describing the evolutionary dynamics of firms and suggesting some themes that call for comparative research.

Resume: In this paper I explore the constructive links between co-operation, rivalry, and learning within the structure of team communities. Drawing upon social learning theory, the main purpose of this paper is to argue that both co-operation and rivalry are important triggers for mobilizing learning processes within and between teams. However, social learning theory tends to disregard the positive aspects of rivalry. Consequently, this paper will argue for the need to extend social learning theory beyond its rather harmonious learning perspective. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7369

Exploring the Emergence, Consolidation and Reconfiguration of Legitimatory and Fiscal State-craftingCelik, Tim Holst (Frederiksberg, 2017)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Since the crisis-engrossed 1970s, and especially the 1990s, 'governance' has become a dominant concern and concept; notably, within particularly political science, a certain diagnosis explicitly or implicitly focused on a shift 'from government to governance' has become increasingly popular. This study examines the governance phenomenon of the post-1970/1990s period from a state-situated and historically informed perspective. Specifically, taking initial analytical departure in an approach of the early 1970s associated with James O'Connor, Jürgen Habermas and Claus Offe focused on the statesituated tension-filled functional relationship between legitimation and accumulation, the study both historically and theoretically reworks this approach and reapplies it for the post-1970s/1990s governance period. It asks whether and to what extent governance has served as a distinctive post- 1970s/1990s state-facilitated way of bridging/altering the tension-filled relationship between legitimation and fiscal accumulation in Western European liberal-capitalist democratic polities.

Ethics and Economy in Public AdministrationPedersen, Ove K. (, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: It has become common over the last 25 years to formulate general ethical standards for management of public administration, not only in developing countries, but in most western democratic societies too. Standards of ethical conduct currently exist for public managers in USA, England, New Zealand, Canada, Australia5, and a number of other countries6. They apply to members of the civil service on the basis of professional merits (meritocracy) as well as to public officials on the basis of their political appointment (politocracy).

Vetterlein, Antje; Brown, Dana; Roemer-Mahler, Anne (København, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: An increasing number of firms are engaging in social and environmental initiatives beyond their core business activities. While much has been written on the question of why business should be spending resources on social and environmental causes, relatively few studies have systematically addressed the question of why companies actually do engage in such activities. A notable exception is literature on the 'business case' for corporate social responsibility, which argues that good social and environmental performance will positively affect a company's financial results. Empirical evidence, however, has failed to prove this. Moreover, even if there is an economic rationale, it is not clear why some companies engage in social activities while others do not. And, why do many more companies today 'see' the business case than in the past? Our paper attempts to conceptualise the motives of companies to engage or not to engage in such activities. Drawing on theories from Management Studies, Sociology, Political Science and International Relations, we suggest modifying the notion of the business case by opening the black box of the corporation's identity as a social actor.

A Market-Based Alternative to Government?Hodge, Graeme; Greve, Carsten (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: One of the paradoxes of the past few decades has been the continuity and even growth of infrastructure Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) despite the loud voices of critics and harsh judgments of some academics. Indeed, there is little doubt about the success of PPPs judging on the basis of increasing global interest, the frequency of use in countries such as the United Kingdom or Australia, or by the spectacular delivery of timely new infrastructure. There has been considerable work undertaken to date on the multiple meanings of PPP more generally, on the multiple disciplinary languages spoken by commentators and on the evaluation challenges faced by those interested in assessing PPPs as projects or activities. There has been less work undertaken, however, on the meanings given to how PPP has been judged as 'successful' by implementing governments. Indeed, the criteria on which governments might judge PPP as a success story seems to be inherently ambiguous and as politically oriented as it is oriented towards more traditional utilitarian policy goals concerned with project delivery or efficiency. In view of the continuity of PPPs post-GFC, the very nature of 'PPP success' needs serious rethinking. This paper explores the notion of 'success' for PPP and argues that short of embarrassing and large scale corruption or widespread incompetence, PPP and PPP projects are inevitably judged as 'successful' in government. This is not only because the PPP concept itself is so wonderfully amorphous and ambiguous, but because each strand of PPP has multiple goals. Infrastructure PPPs for example, have fifteen or so different goals. The criteria for success are therefore multi-faceted and themselves incorporate the very goals of government itself. It is inevitable that PPPs are seen by government to help create public value as well as private value. The paper uses theories of policy success and evaluation studies to assess how 'success' is interpreted. The paper concludes that many of the claims for PPP success and failure are therefore, to an extent, self defining exercises. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8573

A critical assessment of Fair Trade through the examination of the Argentinean wine industryStaricco, Juan Ignacio (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This dissertation offers an assessment of Fair Trade's transformative potential through an empirical examination of the case of Fair Trade wine produced in Argentina and consumed in the United Kingdom. Guided by a dialectical understanding of the research process, the analysis is done at various levels of generality, offering both case-specific and universal arguments about the Fair Trade system as a whole. Theoretically, the dissertation develops a regulationist framework based on a critical engagement with the French Regulation Approach and the Amsterdam Project in International Political Economy. The proposed analysis of Fair Trade as a 'mode of regulation' makes possible: (i) an examination of specific ways in which this initiative institutionalizes key socioeconomic relations, (ii) a comparison of Fair Trade with the 'conventional' economy and (iii) a discussion of its concrete effects. The further exploration of Fair Trade's political and ideological dimensions sheds light on the reasons behind the system's current limitations. The analysis shows that Fair Trade offers very limited improvements compared to the conventional economy. Additionally, for the Argentinean wine industry, Fair Trade further marginalizes the most vulnerable groups. These findings, it is argued, are a consequence of Fair Trade's acritical acceptance of the main capitalist contradictions, which importantly limit the transformative aspirations of its supporters.

Lund, Joachim (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This article explores the co-operative efforts of the German and Danish police in the surveillance of German Communists who sought refuge in Denmark duing the 1930s. Because of the escalating and violent confrontation levels during World War II, postwar accounts have to a considerable extent regarded the relations between Nazi Germany and its neighboring Scandinavian countries in the 1930s in a conflict rather than a cooperation perspective. While in the prewar period there were fundamental ideological differences between Denmark and Germany, and Danish anxieties about Hitler's aggressive foreign policy were tangible indeed, there were points of mutual interest as well. During the social turmoils of the 1930s, the governments of both countries were working at strengthening social cohesion through different political schemes. They were also busy fighting political elements that threatened such cohesion. In Denmark measures were taken to protect democracy against subversive efforts of Communists and National Socialists, while in Germany, the Nazi dictatorship was ridding itself of the 'Marxists' – Communists, Social Democrats, Union activists etc.; in other words enemies that were considered a major threat to the state and the celebrated Volksgemeinschaft. In this way, in both countries, social engineering came to include the close monitoring of Communist activities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9371

Tsingou, Eleni (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Policy processes in transnational settings are shaped by actors whose approval and consent are required for reform to take place. These 'transnational veto players' frame and delimit policy options. The concept of 'transnational veto players' is developed through an empirical analysis of global reforms in the regulatory treatment of large financial institutions deemed 'too big to fail'. Actors debating and developing policy on 'too big to fail' may have formal defined constituencies, as regulators, academics or lobbying organisations, but in their transnational interactions they are also informed by a diffuse constituency of peers through their multiple associations within policy communities. These interactions determine which policy ideas are permissible and how they are adopted. The 'too big to fail' case shows how reform activity to curtail the risks posed by large financial institutions may also inadvertently strengthen their position as transnational veto players.

Some Lessons from Scandinavia and AustraliaGreve, Carsten; Hodge, Graeme (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper examines the transparency of public-private partnerships (PPPs). The key question is "How has transparency and accountability been implemented in PPPs?".PPPs in infrastructure have been presented as enabling synergy and as a major alternative to previous contracting out techniques. These partnerships have most usually involved the preferential use of private finance, highly complex 'bundled' infrastructure delivery contract arrangements and new governance and accountability assumptions. Risk management is also particularly important to PPPs. Contracts between the governments and partnering private firms, however, have also been more complex and have not necessarily lead to simple synergy, but to more negotiations and governance structures. One ongoing concern from critics has been the accusation of illegitimacy due to the use by governments of these contracts to hold project information secret, rather than providing details of the deals to citizens. This paper first presents the transparency concept as it relates to modern day infrastructure PPPs. Second, the paper discusses how transparency and PPPs are related, and suggests a typology of transparency based on degree on openness and phases of the PPP process. Third, the paper examines empirical evidence on transparency elements in PPP contracts and governance structures based on two cases from Scandinavia and Australia. Fourth, the paper concludes by observing how different transparency dimensions relate to the different phases in a PPP project, including the important point about the contract institution that defines a PPP. The paper also concludes by suggesting some ways forward to improve transparency in future PPPs to enhance legitimacy. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8572

Justification and Critique, Emancipation and Coercion Towards the 'Active Society'Hansen, Magnus Paulsen (Frederiksberg, 2017)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Since the late 1980s, European welfare states and labour market regulation have gradually but radically been transformed into ways of underpinning a more "active society" where active usually entails paid work or activities, such as training and qualification, that aim towards work. The thesis investigates the transformation towards the 'active society' through the spectre of unemployment and how it is governed. Two puzzles in the transformations have motivated the inquiry: firstly, the co-existence of a plurality of different, and often contradictory, conceptions of who the unemployed are and why they are unemployed; and secondly, the co-existence of wills to emancipate the unemployed alongside the justification of using coercive measures towards them. This thesis argues that if we want to understand the varieties within the transformations, the "what?" question, it is necessary to address the "how?"; i.e., how transformations are legitimised. Here, ideas and morality are pivotal. Inspired by French pragmatic sociology (Boltanski and Thévenot), the ideas are approached as cities of unemployment that are mobilised to justify and criticise policies related to the governing of unemployment. In these situations where the question of what is the best way to govern unemployment is put to the test, cities of unemployment enable actors to prepare and qualify the reality of the situation for critique and justification. Each city of unemployment is founded on a principle with specific principles to try or test both those who govern and the subjects inhabiting each city, thus entailing a specific understanding of what emancipating the unemployed involves, i.e., what kind of moral subject the unemployed person is with what kind of needs and characteristics. The thesis thus asks which cities of unemployment are mobilised in contemporary reform processes of the governing of unemployment, how are the cities mobilised to justify and criticise, and how do the cities sediment into instruments and institutions governing the unemployed?

Denmark in the Global EconomyCampbell, John L.; Pedersen, Ove K. (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Proponents of the varieties of capitalism literature maintain that capitalist countries whose institutions best fit either the liberal market economy or coordinated market economy types will perform the best. Countries whose institutions are more mixed will perform less well. This paper challenges that assertion by focusing on Denmark—a country that has performed at least as well as many other advanced capitalist countries during the 1990s, including those that fit much more closely either the pure CME or LME types. Denmark has recently developed a more hybrid form than is generally recognized. The dynamic interaction of elements found in both liberal and coordinated types of capitalism have contributed to its success. This is demonstrated by analyses of the institutions that coordinate Danish labor markets, vocational training, and industrial policy. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7351

Government Policies on Corporate Social Responsibility in Denmark and the UKBrown, Danna; Steen Knudsen, Jette (, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Do government policies on CSR in the UK and Denmark reflect distinct domestic political-economic institutional differences as predicted by the Varieties of Capitalism approach, or do they display new forms of governance that primarily address the needs of global businesses? We move beyond the management literature and the literature on public management of particular environmental and sustainability programs to explore a broader government agenda for CSR through a political science lens. We develop a set of expectations that follow from the literature on domestic institutions as well as from the literature that takes into account the role of governments in interaction with transnational actors. We find evidence for a substitution objective in the initial CSR programs of the Danish and British governments (and a mirror objective in Denmark). However, we also find that globalization has motivated governments to use their regulatory authorities pertaining to CSR policies for purposes beyond enhancement of welfare state functions.

Greve, Crasten (Frederiksberg, 2010)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper aims to take stock of the concept of New Public Management (NPM) to see what has happened with the concept, and to consider recent concepts and ideas that challenge NPM. The reason is that there is still much talk about NPM, although many now seem to think that we have gone "beyond" NPM or are in a "post-NPM" public management situation. The second part of the paper will deal with self-styled conceptual alternatives to NPM. These began to appear in the last decade. With "self-styled" I mean that they explicitly present themselves as alternatives to NPM and address the shortcomings in NPM to promote other conceptualizations. Combined, these alternatives approach a coherent research agenda. To be able to discuss these matters, the argument is presented through a theoretical approach that views public management reform as institutional change. This approach is now common in public management reform studies (Pollitt & Bouckaert 2004; Christensen & Lægreid, 2001, 2007, 2011), Knill (1999) and Barzelay (2001) and colleagues (Barzelay & Gallego 2010). The analytical framework comes from theories of public policymaking and theories of historical institutionalism in political science. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8548

An Exploration of its Political ConnectionsThompson, Grahame (Walton Hall, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The notion of 'everyday life' (EDL) has found renewed analytical purchase in recent years and has become a widely used term in explorations of social life, moving all the way from studies of the family to the financial system. But what exactly is EDL and how can we understand it? This paper undertakes a preliminary investigation into how the term has been interpreted in various literatures. There are a wide variety of analytical takes on EDL and the objective is to utilize this preliminary discussion to provide the intellectual resources to deal with its connections to politics and constitutionality in particular. Although the relationship between EDL and constitutionality might at first sight seem remote the argument is that there is an emerging constitutionalization of EDL that is heralding a potentially new form of citizenship amongst those subject to its strictures. Throughout the paper it is relationships operating in the imaginary that are stressed, contrasting this to a more normal emphasis on social relationships in the first instance.

Mobilization effects in national innovation networksBorrás, Susana; Haakonsson, Stine (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Lead firms are increasingly reorganizing their innovation activities into global innovation networks. Such reorganization has potentially major impact on their existing home-based innovation networks. Based on 31 interviews in four case studies of lead firms in the Danish food industry, the paper analyzes the dynamics of five key features of home-based innovation networks: 1) size of the national networks, 2) type of organization, 3) content of collaboration within the network, 4) concurrent globalization of organizations in the network, and 5) degree of formalization of network interactions. The dynamics are generally differentiated according to the type of lead firm strategy, i.e. knowledge augmenting or knowledge exploiting. The qualitative and exploratory findings point towards some effects on national innovation networks. Hence, the paper concludes by hypothesizing that the globalization of lead firms' innovation has a mobilization effect on preexisting national innovation networks. The hypothesis says that lead firms' engagement in global innovation networks can mobilize the organizations that are part of the lead firms' innovation networks at home. This mobilization effect differs according to the lead firm's strategy. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8818

OMG WTF? Cell Phone Time Traveler from 1928?!?!?
This short film is about a piece of footage George Clarke found behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplins film 'The Circus' from 1928. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA – the scene shows a large woman dressed in black with a hat hiding most of her face, with what can only be described as a mobile phone device – talking as she walks alone.
"I kept winding it back, playing it; winding it back, playing it back, and I couldn't explain this," he says. "I want to get this out there to let people try and give me an idea, because right now the only conclusion that I can come to — it sounds absolutely ridiculous, I'm sure, to some people — it's a time traveler" Although, as Clarke notes, the "old woman … looks like a man in drag … on a mobile phone."
His only theory – as well as many others – is simple… a time traveler on a mobile phone
What do YOU think?!?!?

More than 11 million passwords stolen from the Ashley Madison infidelity dating website have been decoded, says a password cracking groupç SİA reports quoting the BBC.
When stolen data from the site was first dumped, the encrypted passwords were said to be almost uncrackable because of the way they were scrambled.
But programming changes by the site's developers meant more than a third of the passwords were poorly protected.
The cracking group said it would not be sharing the decoded passwords.
However, it had detailed the method it used to get at the passwords which would make it straightforward for criminal hackers to replicate the work. This may mean those who reused their Ashley Madison password could see other accounts breached.

Anderson Is Running Scared From Shogamania
March 24, 2010
This Talk had everybody salivating at the mouth because of the potential matchups for the spider.
But then This Happened

Which lead to this
Jul 27, 2010
ANDERSON WHATCHA GONNA DO BROTHER WHEN SHOGAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU....and so forth.
He has always said he wouldn't fight for the LHW title. The latest comment is probably because the UFC doesn't like people jumping around weight classes. He had two fights at LHW and Dana kept trying to get him to move to it permanently.
I think Andy changed his mind about moving up to LHW simply not to step on Machida's toes. HW was always unrealistic imo.
and funny pic!
ive always said that anderson's striking is a good bit better than machidas. id really like to see shogun/anderson.
Exactly ^ he doesnt want to get in Machida's way of winning back the belt.
definitely would be a great fight, i think it could go either way but id give the edge to shogun, i also couldn't see anderson finishing shogun where as i could see shogun finishing anderson
I'd love to see gsp vs silva but I'd much rather watch silva vs shogun.
I'd like to see shogun's agression vs silva's counter style.
gsp vs silva would be a waste of time, anyone who thinks gsp will win is an idiot.
Anderson Silva still has the goods, but in his last few fights it seems like mentally he might've lost a little bit of his fighting "edge", imo...he does just enough to get the "W".

|5 things we learned: Time for the Celtics to make a change in the middle
|12.05.14 at 9:56 pm ET
The Lakers made their only trip of the season to the TD Garden on Friday night, and the fans turned out to see them. But in a building with a surprising number of Laker fans, the home team delivered a commanding performance against Kobe Bryant's squad, as the Celtics won, 113-96.
Tyler Zeller and Jared Sullinger had huge nights for the C's (more on them later), while all five starters scored in double figures for Boston. Rajon Rondo was back to his old self, but Jeff Green and Avery Bradley were big contributors as well with 19 and 16 points respectively.
Bryant, of course, led the way for the Lakers. He finished with a pedestrian 22 points.
Here's five things we learned in Boston's victory:
Zeller was phenomenal in this game. In 17 first half minutes, he put together a near double-double with 14 points (on 7-for-8 shooting, no less) and nine boards. Zeller and Rondo have been fantastic together on the floor all season, but even more so on Friday. Five of Zeller's seven first half field goals were assisted by Rondo. His combination of always being a pick-and-roll threat along with running the floor play perfectly into Rondo's passing skill set.
"I think, obviously, Tyler played at a really high level," Brad Stevens said after the win. "I felt Rondo was just so much more aggressive and comfortable being aggressive tonight and that was great. Anytime he's probing like that, Tyler's going to roll to the rim and be available. And Tyler's got that nice little flip shot at five or seven feet where he can shoot it with either hand. He doesn't have to get it all the way to the rim to finish. So Rondo looks for him and that's a good thing."
Zeller wound up with a game-high 24 points and 14 rebounds — probably the best game of his career. His miss in the first half turned out to be his only one, as he went 10-of-11 from the field for the night.
Friday was Zeller's fourth start this season in place of Kelly Olynyk, and Stevens claimed before the game that it remains a temporary role. If Stevens is watching what everyone else has seen, he should officially hand the starting center job to Zeller.
After the game, Stevens was willing to concede that Zeller will in fact be the starting center when practice begins on Saturday.
Rondo has scored two points in each of his last three games. He recently said that he hadn't been himself during those games. Something evidently changed between then and the start of Friday's game. Rondo got off to a hot start, scoring six first quarter points to go along with five assists. Rondo's impact was clear: his plus/minus was +14 when he came out of the game for the first time, while the Celtics' lead was trimmed to as few as three points before Rondo reentered with his team up seven.
Rondo may have even taken it too far, attempting 17 shots in the game (and making six), but his attacking style represented a noteworthy departure. Even with all the misses, Rondo turned in a pretty effective game, scoring 12 points along with eight rebounds and 16 assists. On the other side, the Lakers only had 14 assists as a team.
Stevens did speak with Rondo about breaking out of his slump prior to Friday's game, and he felt it may have worked.
"The main one [thought about Rondo] was that I felt like he was waiting for the game to materialize around him more than just attacking the game, and so it was really good. I thought he attacked great tonight," Stevens said. "And every time he shot it, I was like a fan saying, 'Go in!'"
Sullinger's performance was easy to lose track of behind Zeller's big night, but the front court duo was not one to mess with against the Lakers. Sullinger brought it in the second half, scoring nine points and grabbing five rebounds in the third quarter alone.
He finished the game with an energetic and efficient 17 points on 5-for-9 shooting with 13 rebounds. Sullinger has said that starting alongside Zeller or Olynyk doesn't matter to him, but things seem to be going pretty well at the moment. Read the rest of this entry »
As most know by now, Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo shared breakfast together in Boston on Thursday, but as Ramona Shelburne of ESPN reported, there was nothing to the breakfast — it had actually been planned for weeks.
That doesn't mean there haven't been any trade conversations between the two legendary franchises recently, though.
According to one of Shelburne's sources, the Celtics and Lakers did briefly discuss a Rondo deal a few months ago, but talks have since ended. The Lakers don't have much to offer, and are not keen on including a first-round pick in a deal — something Danny Ainge would require at least one of one of in order to ship Rondo out. Although the odds of Rondo being traded are slim, a deal along the lines of a first-round pick, rookie Julius Randle (who is out for the year with a broken leg), and an expiring contract would be something Ainge would at least be forced to ponder.
But even at season's end, assuming Rondo has not been dealt, it's been no secret that the Lakers plan to pursue the crafty point guard in free agency. Rondo has long been one of Bryant's favorite players.
However, Thursday's hangout session had nothing to do with Rondo giving up Boston for Los Angeles. "It was a basketball geek conversation," Bryant said to reporters earlier on Friday.
And as for Kobe's thoughts on the breakfast? "It was delicious," he said.

With the Lakers in town for Friday night's game against the Celtics, Rajon Rondo and Kobe Bryant were spotted having breakfast together earlier on Thursday.
With Rondo set to become a free agent following this season, could Bryant be doing some recruiting?

|Rajon Rondo: 'I've not been myself'
|at 1:15 am ET
After finishing 1-for-6 from the field against the Pistons, Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo has now scored just two points in each of his last three games. He's been held to single digits in six of his last seven outings and he hasn't made a free throw since Nov. 23.
This isn't your older brother's Rajon Rondo.
"I've not been myself," he said after a 109-102 win snapped a five-game losing streak. "I haven't been as aggressive. I haven't been making shots. I've been turning the ball over. So, like I said, a lot of those losses I put on myself, and I've got to find a better rhythm."
How, exactly, does Rondo plan to find that rhythm? He could start by attacking the basket, getting to the free throw line and breaking out of his 30 percent free-throw shooting funk.
"I don't really have the answer," added Rondo, who had eight assists against four turnovers. "If I had it, I'd probably figure it out, but I'm still confident in myself. I'm still believing in myself. So, that hasn't shied away from my game, and I'll continue to get better."
Things have gotten so bad that Celtics coach Brad Stevens benched Rondo for one possession on each end in the final minute of a one-possession game, replacing him with Evan Turner for free-throw shooting and defensive purposes. In the final minutes of overtime, the Celtics actively kept the ball out of Rondo's hands in order to avoid any Hack-A-Rondo attempts. It's hard to remember any team ever freezing out an All-Star and all-defensive point guard in such a manner.
"Evan's shooting 87 percent or something?" said Stevens, who sold Turner short on his 92 percent free-throw shooting. "We were playing Rondo off the ball in some actions … and it doesn't really matter who has it to me. I took him out the one time, and I immediately regretted it. I felt like I should have had him back in, so I had him take the ball out the rest of the time."
Regardless of how Stevens couched his reasoning, it was obvious the Celtics did not trust their captain with the ball in the final minutes of a close game, and that strategy actually worked to their advantage in their first home victory in almost a month. That's not normal.
|5 things we learned in the Celtics' overtime victory over the Pistons
|12.03.14 at 10:23 pm ET
The Celtics entered Wednesday's meeting with the Pistons at the TD Garden losers of eight of their last nine games. Not a good look to begin with, but even worse when you factor in their only victory during the streak came against the (then) winless 76ers. Detroit arrived with a 3-15 record, so if there was a time for the Celtics to get back on track, this was it.
It took overtime to get the job done, but Boston finally got its victory, 109-102. (For the complete box score, click here.)
Caron Butler hit a 3-pointer with just 14 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 88 apiece. The Celtics then failed to convert on the final possession of regulation as Andre Drummond swatted away Jeff Green's layup attempt at what seemed to be its highest point. But the C's scored the first eight points of overtime and finally held on for a win.
Despite an off night from Rajon Rondo, Green (game-high 32 points and six 3-pointers) and Kelly Olynyk (20 points, seven rebounds, three assists and an uncharacteristic three blocks) picked up the slack. Jared Sullinger was the only other Celtic in double figures, scoring 10 of his 14 points from the perimeter in overtime.
Here's five things we learned in the win:
Rondo has been playing seven minutes per quarter pretty consistently. Despite some questions about his late-game antics and ability to close out games, the Celtics should be a much better offensive team when he is on the floor. Rondo had played a mere 19 minutes entering the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game. He wasn't having anywhere close to his best game, but in his defense, it's hard to find a rhythm in such staggered minutes.
Stevens removed Rondo from the lineup with six minutes remaining, seemingly without reason since Rondo had played only 24 minutes to that point. Rondo finished with only two points for the third game in a row, this time with just three boards and eight assists. He played 34 minutes, committing a huge turnover in the final minute of regulation, and Stevens benched him again for the Celtics' second-to-last possession of the fourth quarter.
Stevens sat Rondo on another important possession in overtime, protecting Rondo from being sent to the free throw line (where he's shooting an atrocious 30 percent this season). Rondo also seemed to hide from the ball on possessions, which could have been reason for Stevens to sit him down.
Long story short, Rondo needs to fix his free throw shooting problem. It's unheard of for an All-Star point guard to be benched so late in close games.
Last year, in the first season of the Celtics' post-Paul Pierce/Kevin Garnett rebuild, we expected them to stumble to one of the league's worst records. They did just that, ending up with a record of 25-57. No big deal. We all saw it coming and knew the results would be tough. But 15 games into last season the C's held a record of 5-10 — all games in which Rajon Rondo did not play. That's not bad.
This year was expected to be different. Rondo would be beginning the season with the team, Danny Ainge used the No. 6 pick in the draft on the promising Marcus Smart, and the rest of the youngsters had another year of experience under their belts. That young core included Brad Stevens, who arguably had as much learning to do as any player on his roster in his first go-round as an NBA head coach.
Despite all of the positive signs heading into the season, it has not been any different. In fact, it has been worse. The Celtics have a record of 4-11 after 15 games — that's bad. Their loss to the Hawks on Tuesday night was the fifth time this season that the C's have blown a lead of 15 or more points and lost the game. Growing an enormous first-half lead and then losing the game has become routine for these Celtics, especially on their home floor.
In ways it's depressing that after opening up a 23-point lead in Atlanta the expectation was that they would find a way to lose, but those who saw it coming were right. The reason is their fourth-quarter execution, as they rank last in the league in fourth-quarter scoring. Stevens knows that the C's will continue to produce disappointing results until his team does something about it.
"The game honors the more physical team," Stevens said following the loss. "It does night in and night out. We've just got to improve in that area."
He later concluded: "I'm not crazy enough to think that if [the physicality] doesn't change, we'll be sitting up here a lot like this."
The fourth-quarter numbers have been well documented at this point, but it seems laughable that the Celtics haven't even gotten lucky and been able to close out any of these games. The main problem in the fourth quarter has been the apparent disconnect between Rondo and his teammates during crunch time.
|Magic 9-Ball: Rajon Rondo Trade Barometer v3.0
|12.02.14 at 3:34 pm ET
Let's face it: This is the season of Rajon Rondo. As interesting as it is to evaluate the frontcourt progress of Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk, Avery Bradley's offensive potential and Jeff Green's surprising consistency, the biggest questions the Celtics must answer all involve Rondo. Just how good is he? Will he be traded? What can they get in return? In a weekly feature on Green Street, we'll take stock of the Celtics captain's status every Tuesday.
Since last we evaluated Rondo's status this season, the Celtics have won just once in five attempts, and that victory came against the winless 76ers. Because they play in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics (4-10) remain only 1.5 games out of the eighth seed through 14 games, but their 1-9 record against teams with winning records isn't too encouraging for those holding out hope for the C's playoff prospects.
Over the past five games, Rondo has averaged 8.8 assists, 7.2 points and 5.8 rebounds, so his overall numbers have dipped, even if he's still the only NBA player currently averaging at least seven points, seven assists and seven rebounds. He remains the league's leader in assists, passes and assist opportunities per game as well as points created by assists per 48 minutes, according to NBA.com/stats.
The Celtics point guard has always been a different breed of basketball player, capable of controlling games as a facilitator, but at what point does his inability to score become a problem? His current status as the worst free-throw shooting guard in NBA history has been well documented, but Rondo's offensive woes go well beyond the charity stripe. He has attempted more field goals than he's scored points in seven of his 12 appearances, netting single digits on eight occasions and scoring six or fewer points four times this season. Meanwhile, the C's dropped from a top-five offense through two weeks of 2014-15 to 17th in offensive rating (106.1 points per 100 possessions) a month into the season.
When you combine Rondo's 13.7 points scored per 48 minutes (PTS/48) and 36.1 points created by assists per 48 minutes (PTSC/48), the four-time All-Star is still generating 49.8 total points per 48 minutes (PTSG/48). If that seems like a lot, it's because it is. Of the league's 30 starting point guards, 20 have generated more than 40 points per 48 minutes, and Rondo ranks ninth among that group. Obviously, a player's points created by assists depend on his teammates, but the list shakes out how you might expect.

|General Apache JackRabbit Questions
|Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:01:06 GMT
Hello fellow Apache JackRabbit users, I'm just getting acquainted wth Apache JackRabbit. As such I have a few question. -- My intent is to support an existing web application with the reading of files (e.g. PDFs, docs, etc) off of a MS Windows OS using a new Apache JackRabbit repository. (1) I assume the Jackrabbit Standalone Server can be integrated seemlessly with a web application... In regards to this statement, what benefits are gained by using the JackRabbit Web Application (war file). Is the Web App used in place of the server, or in tandem? (2) I understand how to read files from the repository using the JackRabbit API. But what is the most popular way to write files... I guess through the API. Is there a means or tool(s) to write files into the (Windows OS) repository outside of the API? (3) For reading PDF files for a web application is using the JSR 170 directly the best way to go for simple web applications... or have there been built applications with JSR 170 that eases development? (4) What are popular competing JSR 170-implementations to Apache JackRabbit? How do they compare? (5) Outside of JSR 170 and Apache JackRabbit's web site, is there any other popular home for JSR-170 related documentation? In general, am I on the right track wanting to add and manage PDFs and Word docs with Apache JackRabbit for a web applicaiton? If I'm off track please point me to the best Apache product to get the job done. BTW, we are using JavaServer Faces for our presentation layer and Java EE for just about everything else. Sincerely, Robert J. Liguori Computer Scientist

Jaguar vehicles are known for their style, flair, and their many luxury features. They also, however, feature a number of the standard accessories that can be found or their less expensive counterparts. Vehicles like the X-Type have simple alarm systems that can be installed aftermarket onto the vehicle, and you can disable these alarms easily in just minutes from underneath the car's dashboard.
Remove the dashboard from underneath the steering column and ignition cylinder. You can do this with a flat blade such as a knife or a screwdriver, by simply popping the panels off.
Locate the alarm system underneath the dashboard, and locate the wires connected to your car's positive battery terminal.
Disconnect the wire. If you have disconnected the incorrect wire, reconnect it and keep going until you locate the correct wire.

My grandkids really liked this place. But I noticed kids there who weren't interested in science and animals in their natural habitat. So, if your kids like science and how things work in the atmosphere, animals living in their natural habitat...this is the place to go Plus , its a really wholesome hang out. The staff are really knowledgeable about...
Well run, hands-on camp experience for kids - an educational, fun time. The staff really knows their stuff and imparts a love of nature to the kids. Cool animals, too.
Bring the kids to view local wildlife up close. All animals here were injured and from rehab but are unable to sustain themselves in the wild, which is why they're used for learning. Accessible to all, good parking and close to town. Nice programs for kids parties and classroom learning experiences.
LSC does an impressive job of educating the public about raptors though their exhibits (open to the public for free) and has beautiful hiking trails in the surrounding area. Worth a visit!
The staff was knowledgable and made things fun for the kids. Proud of what this center stands for the rehab if animals that can't survive in the wild
We stumbled upon this wonderful sanctuary. We were pleasantly surprised about how many birds you could see. The whole family enjoyed it.
The grounds of Leslie Science Center are nice for a walk and while there take a look at the birds of prey in large cages. Each cage has an informational sign that educates you about the birds. Many can't be released back into the wild because of injuries, therefore they are kept in a protected environment. From Leslie Science Center...
On top of the hill you of paths you will find an amazing array of birds of prey habitats. They are off a beaten path, but don't let that fool you, you will find yourself only a couple feet from Michigans most amazing birds of prey including an eagle! We went on a Sunday so the critter house was close,...
This is a peaceful learning center of nature. Lovely trails to walk, animals to learn about. A few Birds are caged, including an eagle while they await to be released into the wild.
The LSC houses a number of raptors and birds of prey (a bald eagle, a peregrine falcon, a hawk, a couple turkey vultures, and several different kinds of owls), and the caretakers seem to do a good job there. The grounds were well-kept, and I guess it depends on the time of year you go as to what you'll see...

The Spanish club have been chasing the 23-year-old throughout the summer and had a reported £29.2million bid turned down last month.
Guardiola, however, is still pessimistic about his club's chances of bringing the World Cup winner to the Nou Camp.
He said today: "I think signing Cesc will cost a lot. We want him to come but if Arsenal don't want to negotiate, he won't come."
Guardiola's comments come just days after Barcelona's president appeared to admit defeat in the race to sign Fabregas. Sandro Rossell said there had been no talks between the two clubs over a deal for Fabregas, who was in Barcelona's youth system but moved to London at the age of 16.
He said on Spanish television: "They don't want to listen to offers and they are not putting the player on the market.
"One thing that is certain is that we will not go mad trying to sign him."
Guardiola has already been busy in the transfer market during the summer as he bids to bolster his squad.
He signed Fabregas's Spain team-mate David Villa, who was the joint top scorer at the World Cup in South Africa, for £35million and also brought in versatile Sevilla defender Adriano.

text: Chapter 11 The Internet 1 Introduction ARPANET in the 1960s. NSFnet in 1980s Internet in 1990s 2 Internet Protocols To support the Internet and all its services, many protocols are necessary. Internet Protocol (IP) Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Network Address Protocol (NAT) Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) 3 Four Layers of the Internet 4 The Internet Protocol (IP) IP prepares a packet for transmission across the Internet. The IP header is encapsulated onto a transport data packet. 5 IP Datagram (Packet) 6 The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Creates an end-to-end connection between sender and receiver using port numbers. The port number identifies a particular application on a particular device IP + port = socket Multiplexing (using port numbers) over a single IP line Flow control Error detection and recovery Establish priority 7 TCP Header 8 Other Internet Protocols Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Used by routers and nodes, performs the error reporting for the Internet Protocol Reports errors such as invalid IP address, invalid port address, and that the packet has hopped too many times User Datagram Protocol (UDP) A transport layer protocol used in place of TCP Where TCP supports a connection-oriented application, UDP is used with connectionless applications UDP also encapsulates a header onto an application packet but the header is much simpler than TCP 9 Other Internet Protocols Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) When an IP packet has traversed the Internet and encounters the destination LAN, how does the packet find the destination workstation? Even though the destination workstation may have an IP address, a LAN does not use IP addresses to deliver frames. A LAN uses the MAC layer address. ARP translates an IP address into a MAC layer address so a frame can be delivered to the proper workstation. 10 Other Internet Protocols Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) When a DHCP client issues an IP request, the DHCP server looks in its static table. If no entry exists, the server selects an IP address from an available pool. The address assigned by the DHCP server is temporary. Part of the agreement includes a specific period of time. If no time period specified, the default is one hour. DHCP clients may negotiate for a renewal before the time period expires. 11 Other Internet Protocols Network Address Translation (NAT) NAT lets a router represent an entire local area network to the Internet as a single IP address. This security feature allows a LAN to hide all the workstation IP addresses from the Internet. Since the outside world cannot see into the LAN, you do not need to use registered IP addresses on the inside LAN. We can use the following blocks of addresses for private use: 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 12 Other Internet Protocols Tunneling Protocols and VPNs The Internet is not normally a secure system. If a person wants to use the Internet to access a corporate computer system, how can a secure connection be created? One possible technique is by creating a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN creates a secure connection through the Internet by using a tunneling protocol. 13 The World Wide Web The World Wide Web (WWW) is a vast collection of web pages and other resources that can be downloaded across the Internet and displayed on a workstation via a web browser. The WWW is the most popular service on the Internet. Basic web pages are created with the HyperText Markup Language (HTML). HTML is a presentation language to display a web page. It uses HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) to transfer information 14 15 Other Markup Languages D-HTML (Dynamic HTML) Mouse-over techniques Live positioning of elements Data binding Cascading style sheets (layers) XML (eXtensible Markup Languages) Both the definition of the document and the contents of the document can be specified The syntax of XML is fairly similar to HTML Design your own tags, such as <CUSTOMER> which have their own, unique properties. Used widely for data interchange for Banks, B2B, etc. 16 Locating a Document on the Internet Every document on the Internet has a unique uniform resource locator (URL) All URLs consist of four parts: 1. 2. 3. 4. Service type Host or domain name Directory or subdirectory information Filename http://filebox.vt.edu/users/wfan/index.html 17 Locating a Document on the Internet When a user running a web browser enters a URL, how is the URL translated into an IP address? The Domain Name System (DNS) is a large, distributed database of URLs and IP addresses. The first operation performed by DNS is to query a local database for URL/IP address information. If the local server does not recognize the address, the server at the next level will be queried. Eventually the root server for URL/IP addresses will be queried. If the root server has the answer, the results are returned. When the domain's server returns the results, they are passed back through the chain of servers (and their caches). 18 IP Addresses All devices connected to the Internet have a 32-bit IP address associated with it. Computers, networks, and routers use the 32-bit binary address, but a more readable form is the dotted decimal notation. For example, the 32-bit binary address 10000000 10011100 00001110 00000111 184.108.40.206 19 IP Addresses There are basically four types of IP addresses: Classes A, B, C and D. A particular class address has a unique network address size and a unique host address size. First three 0-127 128-191 192-223 20 IP Subnet Masking Sometimes you have a large number of IP address to manage. By using subnet masking, you can break the host ID portion of the address into a subnet ID and host ID. For example, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 applied to a class B address will break the host ID (normally 16 bits) into an 8-bit subnet ID and an 8-bit host ID. 21 Demo ping ipconfig tracert netstat 22 Internet Services The Internet provides many types of services, including several very common ones: Electronic mail File transfer protocol (FTP) Remote login (Telnet) Internet telephony Listservs Usenet Streaming audio and video The World Wide Web 23 Electronic Mail E-mail programs can create, send, receive, and store emails, as well as reply to, forward, and attach non-text files. Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) is used to send e-mail attachments. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is used to transmit e-mail messages. Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) are used to hold and later retrieve e-mail messages. 24 File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Used to transfer files across the Internet. User can upload or download a file. The URL for an FTP site begins with ftp://… The three most common ways to access an FTP site is: 1. Through a browser. 2. Using a canned FTP program. 3. Issuing FTP commands at a text-based command prompt. 25 Remote Login (Telnet) Allows a user to remotely login to a distant computer site. User usually needs a login and password to remote computer site. A more secure version of telnet is SSH http://computing.vt.edu/software_and_hard ware/windows/internet.html 26 Internet Telephony The transfer of voice signals using a packetswitched network and the IP protocol. Also known as packet voice, voice over packet, voice over the Internet, and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). VoIP can be internal to a company or can be external using the Internet. VoIP consumes many resources and may not always work well, but can be cost effective in certain situations. 27 Listservs A popular software program used to create and manage Internet mailing lists. When an individual sends an e-mail to a listserv, the listserv sends a copy of the message to all listserv members. Listservs can be useful business tools for individuals trying to follow a particular area of study 28 Usenet A voluntary set of rules for passing messages and maintaining newsgroups. A newsgroup is the Internet equivalent of an electronic bulletin board system. Thousands of Usenet groups exist on virtually any topic. 29 Streaming Audio and Video The continuous download of a compressed audio or video file, which can be heard or viewed on the user's workstation. Real-time Protocol (RTP) and Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) support streaming audio and video. Streaming audio and video consume a large amount of network resources. 30 The Internet and Business Many agree that e-commerce consists of four major areas: e-retailing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Micro-marketing Electronic security Is e-Commerce a fad? What about ebusiness? 31 Cookies and State Information A cookie is data created by a web server that is stored on the hard drive of a user's workstation. This state information is used to track a user's activity and to predict future needs. Information on previous viewing habits stored in a cookie can also be used by other web sites to provide customized content. Many consider cookies to be an invasion of privacy. What do you think? 32 Intranets and Extranets An intranet is a TCP/IP network inside a company that allows employees to access the company's information resources through an Internet-like interface. When an intranet is extended outside the corporate walls to include suppliers, customers, or other external agents, the intranet becomes an extranet. Commonly use VPN to provide better security 33 The Future of the Internet IPv6 The next version of the Internet Protocol. Main features include: 128-bit IP addresses Simpler header (<8 fields) Priority levels Quality of service parameters Better security 34 The Future of the Internet Internet2 A new form of the Internet is being developed by a number of businesses and universities. Internet2 will support very high speed data streams. Applications might include: Digital library services LearningWare Tele-immersion Virtual laboratories 35 The Internet In Action: A Company Creates a VPN A fictitious company wants to allow 3,500 of its workers to work from home.

Ring up New Forest Council's tourist office and staff will paint a cheery picture of the badger watch.
'It's very slightly lit up so you can see the badgers but they can't see you . . . It's all fairly natural,' a spokeswoman said. They will also send you a free colour leaflet. But New Forest planners have different ideas.
A year after opening the badger sett in his garden to the paying public, Alistair Kilburn has been told it contravenes planning laws. Mr Kilburn is mystified. 'The council has known about the project from day one, supported it with free editorial in its promotional literature . . . When they get groups of journalists down they give them a whole selection of things to look at and top of the list is the New Forest badger watch. The whole thing is a complete paradox.'
New Forest council is torn between discouraging tourism and promoting understanding of nature. Chris Elliott, head of development control, said it was a 'unique case . . . I have never run across anything with quite the same ingredients in my professional career.'
Mr Kilburn sees his badger watch as the quintessence of green tourism. Visitors pay pounds 8 a head to sit in dark clothes and 'total silence' in a half-sunken hide. They can watch the badgers underground - he has built a viewing sett - or on the lawn. Occasionally he sprinkles nuts on the grass to ensure a decent show.
He says the project has educational and environmental aims, including taking the pressure off the New Forest and its wild badgers. 'It's providing a unique experience on a very small scale. Visitors are going away with misty eyes.'
His neighbours remain dry-eyed, however. Some have complained of food and drink being sold and up to 20 cars parked in narrow lanes.
Mr Kilburn rejects the claims as 'far-fetched and exaggerated' - badger-watching tends to be a family activity, he says, so there are many fewer cars than watchers - and wishes people had come round for a chat rather than going to the council 'behind his back'.
A few miles away in Ringwood, Mr Elliott has two piles of letters on his desk. He estimates there are about 80 supporting the badger watch - from as far afield as Bangor, in Ulster - and 30-40 against, almost all local.
'We have policies designed to curb the growth of tourism, because of overcrowding and the damage that day visitors, in particular, are causing. On the other hand we want people to understand the forest and its flora and fauna more fully, so we encourage the interpretation of wildlife and nature.'
Mr Kilburn, he said, had set up a commercial operation in a residential area and would have to seek planning permission. 'We don't want 'kiss-me-quick' tourism in the New Forest. Having said that, the badgers themselves will probably not tolerate a couple of hundred people staring at them.
'By its nature, it is probably something that will have to remain small-scale and could be found to be acceptable.'

DNAnexus Allies with Geisinger, UCSF to Augment Clinical Sequencing
DNAnexus, Geisinger Health System (GHS), and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are working together to develop clinically relevant workflows to enhance the use of DNA sequencing in medicine. Laboratories within GHS and UCSF will use DNAnexus' cloud-based software to upload, store, and analyze DNA sequencing data.
In conjunction with the Geisinger Clinical Program for Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), GHS will have access to DNAnexus' genomic data-management capabilities including visualization, analysis, and storage. The healthcare organization, in turn, will provide strategic counsel around the use of WGS data in clinical settings and the extension of DNAnexus' capabilities to further support such use.
"At Geisinger, providing the best personalized healthcare has always been our mission, and key to that is the ability to collect and manage valuable medical information like electronic health records, blood samples, and DNA sequencing data," says David Ledbetter, Ph.D., CSO, Geisinger Health System. "As whole genome sequencing becomes more affordable and accessible, we are eager to work with DNAnexus to find ways to manage this critical data asset and better leverage it within the clinical workflow."
David J. Erle, M.D., UCSF professor of medicine, notes, "In the past few years, the pace of development in DNA sequencing technology has been astounding, doubling in capacity even faster than the classic Moore's law of computing. That has a huge impact on our ability to understand both health and disease, but it also poses a formidable challenge. In many cases, scientists are now limited more by their ability to store and analyze the data than they are by their ability to generate it."

I have been with the LL program for over 5 years and I lost 3stones on the first attempt, and now I am 'locked in', once I am off the packs, I cannot control my weight and put it back on again.
Until recently I assisted the LL counsellor, but I was noticing more and more clients returning having put the weight back on, of course myself included. I have become disillusioned with the whole thing.
Yes its does work, you get a quick weight loss, but I feel it is unsustainable when you return to food. The counselling is supposed to change our ways of thinking and feeling,but I think most will agree, it goes over most people'e head and is forgotten the minute you walk out the door.
I have 2 more weeks of packs left, and to be honest, I cannot wait till they have all gone and I get out of this spiral.
Take care everyone, you may be getting sucked into a spiral, returning to LL time and time again, because

Eden found herself in darkness when she finally regained consciousness. Somewhere between a kick to her stomach and smashing her into the wall, John had knocked her out. Her head throbbed. She tried to move, but only managed a few feet before something restricted her.
Oh God.
"So you're awake. I was afraid I'd killed you without spilling any blood. That would have been such a shame."
John's voice startled her. It was so different from the kind man she thought she knew, the one she met at the bar. Then she remembered who he was, what he had done, and her stomach tightened.
"I know that you're afraid. If I were you, I'd feel the same. But it's not so bad." He touched her face, and Eden tried to pull away. "I mean, what did you really have here besides that job? You had a boyfriend who wold probably have killed you if I hadn't come along. I saved you."
"Don't touch me," she hissed. "You killed Daniel."
"We've established this." He sounded annoyed.
"You killed him. Why?"
"To protect you."
Lights flickered on, blinding her. John crouched down in front of her. He had something silver in his hand, and it took Eden a moment to recognize it. He gripped her jaw and titled her head up so that her neck was exposed.
Then he pressed his lips to her frantic pulse and stuck the knife into the spot between her shoulder and collarbone.

Wish I was brave as them! eek!
I know its a protest but they could raise funds for charity too but taken less seriously which defeats their goal?
Thousands of cyclists shed their Lycra yesterday (13 June) to take part in Naked Bike Ride events all over the world.
Globally more than 10,000 people take part in rides, designed to celebrate nakedness, draw attention to cyclists' vulnerability and protest against oil dependency.
An estimated 3,000 riders were expected to join the main UK rides yesterday in London, Brighton, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton and York. Smaller rides were planned in Belfast, Bournemouth, Cambridge, Exeter, Glasgow, Leeds, Oxford, and Totnes.
A spokesman for the Naked Bike Ride said, "It was a great success, with more rides and more riders than ever before. This year saw the first rides in Italy and Ireland and a newly extended ride in London starting from near Heathrow. The London ride now runs so smoothly that the police no longer see any need to escort us. There's been more media interest than ever before too - perhaps because of the dreadful BP situation in the Gulf."
Thanks to Brighton photographer Heather Buckley for her shot of one of yesterday's Brighton riders. To see more, visit her Flickr pages.

"...protest against oil dependency."
I have no issue wit
h wanting to protest, but ignorance rubs me the wrong way. Bicycles would not exist without oil or the use of refined oil products. From extracting the raw materials (or producing them- carbon) all the way to replacing worn parts. Oil is needed just as much for bicycles as it is for cars and modern life. When will people understand that oil = more than just cars!?
Oil is needed just as much for bicycles as it is for car and modern life
No argument oil is needed for bicycles, but just as much as for cars? That's over-egging it a bit.
No doubt some aspects of manufacturing and transporting my bike from the Far East to Blighty were oil powered, but unless my memory really is failing me I can't remember ever having to stick fifty quids worth of unleaded in it or indeed any. Nor does it take a litre of Castrol every month either… maybe the odd dribble of Green Oil, which, if my nose is right smells morel like the by product of olives rather than old dinosaurs.
Shiny Flu said"....ignorance rubs me the wrong way. Bicycles would not exist without oil or the use of refined oil products...."
That may be currently true, but need not necessarily always be true. In-fact we could make and maintain bicycles without any fossil-fuels.
Because modern society is geared-up around artificially cheap FFs [the true costs of FFs are not reflected in the price paid by the consumer], using renewable alternatives to FFs will continue to compare badly, untill the true cost of FF use is reflected in the price.
The most stupid thing we can do with FFs is to burn them. FFs will eventually run-out. For example, we are currently burning coal at a rate 1,000 times the rate that it was laid down.
