Car color and personality

Our gadgets, clothes, cars and all our belongings are extensions to our personalities, unmet needs and patterns of thinking.
In this article i will tell you about the relation between your car color and your personality.
What a car color says about your personality
Here is what your car color says about your personality:
Everything you own is an extension to your personality

If you want to know a lot about people's personalities at your first encounter then learn how to look at their belongings using this new point of view.

"These guys put their logo on more things than Nike does. How do they expect to remain secret when they make every effort to mark their equipment with a unique, unmistakable symbol?"In television, as in Real Life, any decent-sized organization will have a logo or symbol to identify itself. Said symbolism will appear when needed to identify the group, whether it's a discreet corporate logo on the building or an imposing banner behind the Diabolical Mastermind when he makes his world-threatening rants. Some groups, however, carry this to a ridiculous extreme, especially if a megalomaniac Villain is in charge. When this trope is in play, the design will be wantonly slapped on everything in sight, down to the most mundane items and meaningless locations. Bathroom doors, coffee mugs, staplers, golf carts, Highly Conspicuous Uniforms — nothing is out of the question, no matter how trivial or impractical it may be. This reaches its fullest expression when entire vehicles and even bases are constructed in the very shape of the logo. This is true even in an Elaborate Underground Base or a Supervillain Lair, where the only people present are supposed to be the Minions and the Goons; it's almost as if the Evil Overlord was worried his legion of mooks would forget where they were if they weren't reminded every two minutes. Note that this trope is not limited to Villains or Evilness. Good guys love branding, too. Also see Highly Conspicuous Uniform (when the sigil is overused on the mooks' clothing), Malevolent Mugshot (when a Villain puts their own image everywhere) and Conspiracy Placement (when the Ancient Conspiracy hides clues among the Muggles). May Contain Evil. Not to be confused with Instant Runes displayed by the copious dozens.

Trade Rumor Penguins (Update 8:20pm)
Hearing Despres For Setoguchi…. More to come.
**My guess is, if something were to come from this it would be in a few days or a few weeks from now. Even though Despres was a healthy scratch in the Penguins 2-1 win over the Senators today, Setoguchi was in the line up for the Wild to start against the Blues.
It is still a possibility and I am sure if it were to happen there would be more involved and not be just a 1 for 1 trade.

Celeste Cantú, General Manager, for the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) has been working on the crest-to-coast, corner-to- corner Integrated Regional Watershed Management Plan called, One Water One Watershed (OWOW) that addresses all water-related issues, joins all entities and hundreds of stakeholders seeking to create a new vision of sustainability for the Santa Ana River Watershed.
This project is a great example of how businesses can get involved in water stewardship projects aimed at addressing water related risks in their supply chain.
Glaciers and ice-sheets are neglected but vital microbial habitats. Microbial processes in glacial systems act as "sentinels and amplifiers" of climate change impacts on glacial systems, thus ice-microbe interactions assume importance on both societally-relevant and evolutionary timescales.
At the United Nations' Climate Summit in Manhattan, Cargill will join dozens of other companies, governments and civil society groups from around the world in supporting the New York Declaration on Forests.
In their paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the team describes how they subjected algae specimens to warmer and/or more acidic water over a year's time and the changes in the algae that came about as a result.
These days, boats get the scoop on algae blooms.
State researchers now pull water samples via a moving boat, rather than just by hand for later scrutiny, giving much quicker snapshots of algae "hot spots" in the Indian River Lagoon.
National water quality standards will be introduced for New Zealand's lakes and rivers, the Government has announced today.
The new policy means, for the first time, rivers and lakes will have minimum requirements that must be achieved so the water quality is suitable for ecosystem and human health.
They will be introduced among an updated National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management (NPS).
The 20th century dawned with both excitement and concern for the water future of California and the rapidly growing but arid American West. Gold fever was receding, urban populations were burgeoning, and tentative efforts at modern, irrigated agriculture were expanding. The articles in this Scientific American collection reveal beliefs common at the time: Any water flowing unused to the sea was wasted. Growth of the West could happen only through expansion of irrigated agriculture and a blossoming of the desert.
Iran is headed for a water shortage of epic proportions, and little is being done to reverse a decades-long trend that has reduced the country's water supply to crisis levels.
Changes in the global climate, a century of rampant development and heavy subsidies on water and other utilities are all contributing to a situation that is likely to get much worse.
Since 1970, average rainfall in the south-west of Western Australia has decreased by nearly a fifth, and the sciencesuggests that this is linked to human-caused climate change.
Across Australia, CSIRO predicts rainfall will probably decrease in southern Australia, and the predictions for the south-west are especially grave where the recent drying has left empty dams and greater reliance on groundwater.
So, what can south west Western Australia tell us about managing water – particularly groundwater – in a drying climate?
"Rain, rain go away…" might be popular as a nursery rhyme, but it's a hugely unpopular sentiment right now in California, as this epic drought puts increasing strain on communities throughout the state. And even though stormwater remains a leading cause of pollution at California's beaches, hoping for less rain is not a long-term solution.
Climate change, water and sustainable communities – these are the top three environmental priorities to be addressed by RBC in the coming four years, as outlined in the new RBC Environmental Blueprint. Launched today, this new roadmap outlines how we will approach environmental sustainability globally from now until 2018. Every roadmap needs a destination, so this document not only sets out the corporate environmental policy, objectives and priorities; it includes aggressive targets and a new area of focus to work towards.
The US secretary of state, John Kerry, says saving the world's oceans was a vital security issue, and has urged leaders at an international summit to take immediate action on overfishing and pollution.
Kerry, speaking at the start of the summit, said humans had caused "enormous damage" to the oceans, jeopardising the food security of three billion people on the planet.

A former Iranian prosecutor and associate of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was freed without explanation after two days of detention, state-run media reported.
Saeed Mortazavi was arrested by judicial officials on Feb. 4 after a dispute between Ahmadinejad and long-term rival Parliamentary Speaker Ali Larijani exploded in public, with the two trading accusations of wrongdoing and improper conduct in the presence of lawmakers.
During the parliamentary session, Ahmadinejad showed a video apparently featuring Mortazavi and which the president maintained, implicated Fazel Larijani, the speaker's brother, in fraudulent business dealings.
Mortazavi had been held on unspecified charges and no details were given on why he was released from Evin prison at dawn today, according to Fars and Mehr news agencies reports.
With tightening sanctions over Iran's nuclear program restricting the country's crude exports and its access to oil revenue, Ahmadinejad has been made the scapegoat in recent months by fellow politicians for his management of the economy. The president has in turn threatened to unveil documents that, he says, show some officials are corrupt.
Tensions among establishment leaders have escalated before a June 14 presidential election in which Ahmadinejad isn't eligible to run. The nation's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ordered officials to stop the bickering.
Larijani, the son of a senior cleric and one of five brothers who have held public office, lost the 2005 presidential election, when Ahmadinejad won his first term. Larijani later quit as Iran's nuclear negotiator over differences with Ahmadinejad.
Mortazavi was suspended in 2010 after the deaths of three men arrested during the country's protests that followed the contested 2009 election. He was subsequently appointed head of the Social Security Organization by Labor Minister Abdolreza Sheikholeslami.

Looking at the low number of homes for sale this week, it's hard to believe.
If you are a seller or if you've been thinking about selling in this market, good for you. Most houses that have been priced properly are receiving multiple offers and some are going for more than the asking price due to the competitive nature of the buyers in the market and low inventory. Interest rates are still at all-time lows and buyer demands are still high, this is the perfect time to sell your home.
Start packing, because it'll happen faster than you think.

Drunk driving on a Wednesday
from Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire – Huzzah! Lyrics on Genius
The Pitchfork review of this album says that this line, while undoubtedly an uber-catchy hook, "packs boundless socio-pathology into five words". Those five words? Drunk drivin' on a Wednesday.
This complete disregard for safety or life characterizes persons suffering from the mental illness "Antisocial Personality Disorder", which many know as the disorder of personality associated with psychopathic serial killers, because of the lack of empathy it encompasses. This is reinforced by eXquire's "fuck everybody" attitude and admittance to being deep in depression on the album's opening track, "Triple F"

Nearly ten years ago, when Bin Laden and his supporters launched the attacks of September 11th, the U.S. and Britain responded with Operation Enduring Freedom in October, 2001 -- a campaign which continues to this day with nearly 140,000 coalition troops in Afghanistan. It remains to be seen if the recent killing of Osama Bin Laden will have any immediate effect on the situation in Afghanistan, but security has been tightened at coalition bases throughout the region. The Taliban has promised a new Spring offensive soon, as the weather warms and Afghanistan's "fighting season" gets underway. Insurgent attacks across the country, large and small, continue at the rate of about 30 per day, an increase from last year. NATO leaders have endorsed a target withdrawal date of 2014, with a handover to Afghan forces beginning next year. Gathered here are images from the ongoing conflict over the past month, part of an ongoing monthly series on Afghanistan. [39 photos]

The Defuser
Jarrett Crippen was born and raised in Austin, Texas where he still lives with his wife and family.
Jarrett became an Austin Police officer at the age of 23. After 9 yrs spent on patrol, he was promoted the rank of Detective and was assigned as a criminal investigator for the next 5 yrs.
In 2006, Jarrett followed his dream of teaching and became an instructor at the Austin Police Academy teaching cadets, officers and members of the public. Jarrett has completed numerous schools and seminars on leadership and communication skills including the West Point Leadership Academy and Say It Loud; a public speaking certification seminar.
In 2007, Jarrett and his wife; Norma founded SCARE for a CURE, a non-profit corporation that each year holds a haunted house to raise money for cancer related charities. In SCARE 2007 raised over $10,000 for Breast Cancer research and recovery and logged over 3880 volunteer hours from over 200 volunteers, including many Austin area high school students.
Also in 2007, Jarrett; a self proclaimed comic book geek, auditioned for and was selected to be a cast member of Stan Lees Who Wants to be a Superhero. A reality show on the SciFi Channel. In September of that same year, Jarrett won the contest and out of the 3400 people who auditioned for the show, he was proclaimed the worlds next great superhero!
Jarrett now spends his time divided between his family, preparing for SCARE 2008, and his activities related to being a real life superhero. He routinely travels to cities around the country to appear as The Defuser, but his favorite stops are Austin area elementary schools, boy/girlscout events and church groups.
Jarretts passions include public speaking and story telling. He is always looking for ways to educate children about how to be a hero in their own community as well as raise money for worthy causes.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Medal of Honor to be awarded, only the sixth since 9/11
Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti was killed in a firefight in Afghanistan. He is the second service member to receive the military's highest honor for action in Afghanistan. But the award was given 246 times in Vietnam.
President Obama will award the Medal of Honor this autumn to a soldier who died in Afghanistan in 2006. He will be the sixth soldier given the award since 9/11, raising questions as to why so few veterans of the current wars have received the military's highest honor.
The White House Friday announced that it would make a posthumous award of the Medal of Honor to Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti, who was killed in a firefight.
No official account of what Monti did to warrant the medal has been released, but in a video on YouTube, Monti's father says his son was killed while trying to save fellow soldiers, twice running into enemy fire on purpose.
The announcement points to the apparent reluctance of the Pentagon to anoint today's heroes with the Medal of Honor.
The Vietnam War produced 246 Medal of Honor recipients during the 16 years of the conflict. Monti will be only the second service member to receive the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan. Four service members have been awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq. A total of 1.9 million service members have deployed since 2001.
"Given the tremendous sacrifices of our troops, it is surprising that there were only six," says Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, an advocacy group in New York.
Each of the six were awarded posthumously. Of the 246 awarded for Vietnam, 154 were posthumous.

My window tint is almost a perfect match to the stock back tint. I've never really noticed a difference.
I've had it on since I bought the truck 4 years ago now, and this is the first time I've noticed that it has a slightly different color to it. Its not noticable.

Some random photos
Heres a video of the stereo. Best I could do, sitting inside the vehicle was mad distortion.
Finally recorded some sound of my exhaust. If someone really wants a driveby I might be able to arrange, there is absolutely no drone with this setup. You get off the gas and it sounds stock. Its PERFECT.
Slow acceleration and cruise....

I will start dumping all my photos onto this thread so keep an eye out!

Navy secrets bought with prostitutes
SAN DIEGO — Nicknamed "Fat Leonard," the gregarious Malaysian businessman is well known by U.S. Navy commanders in the Pacific, where his company has serviced warships for 25 years.
But prosecutors in court papers say Leonard Francis worked his connections to obtain military secrets by lining up prostitutes, Lady Gaga tickets and other bribes for a U.S. commander, in a scandal reverberating across the Navy.

NY ex-con charged with murder in officer's killing
The suspect is accused of killing a policeman who suspected he had been involved in a hit-and-run car accident on Tuesday.
By Frank Eltman
Associated Press
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.— An ex-convict suspected of gunning down a New York police officer and then fatally shooting a carjacking victim is charged with first-degree murder.
Police officers packed the courtroom for Darrell Fuller's appearance Thursday in Hempstead on Long Island.
Authorities say the Queens man had been hospitalized until Wednesday for self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
Fuller is accused of killing a policeman who suspected he had been involved in a hit-and-run car accident on Tuesday.
Authorities allege Fuller then fled that shooting and killed the second victim while stealing his vehicle.
The name of Fuller's attorney was not immediately known.
Fuller served four years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted murder in 2005.
A funeral for Nassau County Officer Arthur Lopez is planned for Saturday.

The point of the story is that some restaurants have a way of bringing out the Philistine in everyone. The plutocratic Texan was referring to Paul Gauguin, and the probability of one of his paintings hanging at a Trader Vic's is as likely as rediscovering Michelangelo's Pieta at Pizza Hut. Some patrons don't know better. Neither do some restaurant owners.
And hotel restaurants -- especially those whose clientele varies from day to day and where quality is as variable as monsoon weather -- are particularly prone to setting an unsophisticated tone, and therefore, eliciting a similarly vulgarian response. But there are some rare exceptions, as in the case of Christine Lee's Gaslight, which has been located for more than eighteen years at the Thunderbird Hotel in the northernmost reaches of Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. As wonderful and inviting as it is bizarre and anachronistic, the Gaslight is indeed well named: As Chinese-American restaurants go, it's a time warp, recalling Forties movies and the accompanying Oriental stereotypes as vividly as the superb preparation of cuisine -- much of it not of Chinese derivation -- recreates a rich legacy of immigrant kitchen magic.

Region: North Dade
As I've contended in the past, the most effective response to questionable authenticity is sovereign execution -- and happily, we get that at Christine Lee's. The dishes form a hybrid of assimilated Cantonese, the first Chinese cuisine to reach America, and more region-specific Hunan, Mandarin, and Szechuan specialties, which became popular in the United States during the Seventies. But there's more: depending on your mood, Christine Lee's is also a steak house, or a surf-and-turf emporium, or a "continental" restaurant.
Fact is, the Gaslight's menu is a veritable multicultural blueprint. From Maine lobster to orange blossom steak ($21.95), from blackened filet mignon ($23.50) to pan-fried Chinese or Szechuan dumplings ($6.95 and $6.50), from red snapper almondine ($16.95) to Peking duck ($32.50), and from veal marsala ($16.95) to moo shoo pork ($13.25), Christine Lee's Gaslight takes us back to an epoch when Americans met the Orient just about halfway, when Chinese cuisine was exotic and novel enough to be cause for circumstance and celebration, and when the prerequisites of elegance and attentive service were integral to the dining experience. The doyenne of Chinese-American cooking (after whom the restaurant is named), Christine Lee has performed a rare feat in maintaining high culinary standards in this area for more than 30 years.
The Gaslight occupies a large section of the Thunderbird and contains a tropical bar and performing stage. Yes, there is nightly entertainment at Christine Lee's, but a discussion of its brand of musical theater must wait until the conclusion of the meal.
Among the appetizers, of which I tasted all but two, the roast pork tenderloin slices ($5.95) were as meltingly soft as veal scallops, and their flavor was both enticing and delicate. The above-mentioned Chinese dumplings held their gingery tang in check, while the accompanying soy-based sauce was a fitting compliment to each mound. One of the best was listed as a house specialty, chicken wings in oyster sauce ($5.95). Here the overpoweringly pungent sauce was ladled economically and to great effect. (Who needs Buffalo wings after these?) The one bad blot on the preliminary proceedings was an egg roll ($3.80) stuffed with a gelatinously putrid pork that was crisp, all right, but felt no more appealing inside the mouth than a punch in the nose -- this roll was more worthy of Bruce Lee than Christine.
We ordered only one item from the continental section of the menu -- an expensive one. A three-pound steamed Maine lobster (market price) arrived for one of my ravenous guests, who blanched at the sheer massiveness of this extended crustacean. "I think I'll do my bit from Splash now," she joked, making a reference to a scene in that film when Daryl Hannah, playing a mermaid, bites into the lobster claw and eats it like fried chicken, to the dismay of Tom Hanks. The Gaslight's preparation -- and presentation -- of lobster was magnificent. But this mammoth seafarer was the Jethro Bodine of lobsters; just setting eyes on it was enough to misplace your appetite.
Much more pleasing to the eye were the lovely Chinese entrees. The menu is traditional, which is to say it lacks some of the epicurean finish of some modern "upscale" Chinese restaurants in Dade County. (The egg foo yungs, chow meins, and moo goo gai pans of yesteryear make return appearances here.) The Hunan Beef slices with baby corn, ginger, scallions, and green peppers ($14.95) could not have been more fragrant. And the chicken with walnuts, snow peas, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and vegetables ($13.95) offered that peculiar distinction of not being overpoweringly sweet, as many Sinophiles patrons prefer their dishes incorporating nuts to be. A simple veggie dish such as broccoli with garlic sauce ($5.25) would render the President's ban on broccoli as ludicrous as his choice of running mate. And any of the fried rices are both generous and flavorful.
And now, in lieu of dessert -- though you can order pineapple melba ($3.95), coconut snowball ($3.50), orHaagen-Dazs ice cream with honey walnuts ($3.50) -- we must adjourn to the bar for some entertainment. (By the way, the drinks here, while no match for the encyclopedic cocktail cart at Trader Vic's, must be counted a success: the banana daiquiri ($5.25) may be the tastiest in Miami.) It is in this retro-Vegas setting that Christine Lee's memory-lane experience attempts to reach a fitting culmination. The current show-stopper is a woman named Bunny Osborn. She sings.
Well, kind of.
I never believed I would live to hear Al Jolson's signature tune, "Swanee," performed live. And performed like this! "Swaaaaneeeee, how I love ya, how I love ya, my dear old Swaaaaneeee," wailed the over-bejeweled, over-mascaraed, way over-enthusiastic, and way, way over-forty Bunny, aided by a competent trio of Gaslight regulars (including pianist Maria Velasco). She sang her little heart out to a congregation of enthusiastic friends from the Old Testament and still had the energy for an on-stage change of costume. (Bunny transformed from a blue-sequinned nightmare to a black-sequinned horror faster than you could say "My Way.") After a lengthy and pretty devastating assault on Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll," Bunny offered a medley that included songs by Burt Bacharach and Michel Legrand, much to the tear-wiping delight of the long-in-the-tooth spectators. But the socko finish was coming, and it came in true old showbiz fashion. (Bunny was obviously reared on a steady diet of the Hollywood Squares.)
The pianist tinkled the introductory rhythm of "New York, New York," and Bunny got to work. She thanked all her performing friends on the ships of Florida, all her friends in the Catskills, the trio, the waiters, and maybe God, too. This homily went on for a good ten minutes, and I wondered whether the pianist, who somehow kept the tune going, might develop acute carpal tunnel syndrome. Then, Bunny warbled, "Start spreading the news/I'm leaving today/Right to the very heart of it/ New York, New York." This after-dinner serving of the performer's craft was becoming about as palatable as a bottle of Immodium A-D. And just as I could contain my laughter no longer, this indefatigably cheery Borscht-belter beckoned me -- and another guest -- on-stage, at which point we ran out of Christine Lee's like Quincy Watts at the end of the 400-meter race in Barcelona.
It was either that, or goodbye, walnut chicken.

An Empirical Analysis of Some Basic CharacteristicsKnudsen, Thorbjørn; Koed Madsen, Tage (København, 2002)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The label 'International New Ventures' has been used to designate firms, which from their inception are oriented towards the international market place. The present article aims to test empirically whether such a type of manufacturing firms differ from comparable firms with respect to some basic characteristics. The motivation for doing so is to evaluate the usefulness of studying International New Ventures as a distinct form of economic organization. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6891

Vaud ‐ key elements of successTSE Consulting; Institut for Produktion og Erhvervsøkonomi; PEØ; Department of Operations Management; OM (Lausanne, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The City of Lausanne and the Canton de Vaud asked TSE Consulting to prepare a report giving specific consideration to the business development possibilities for a proposed sports cluster development project. This report is a supplement to previous reports and other studies being commissioned on this topic. This report has been developed over five weeks during January and February 2014. It was prepared by TSE Consulting in Lausanne with input from TSE Academic Advisor, Troels Troelsen, an Associate Professor of Sports Economics at Copenhagen Business School. Information for this report was drawn from interviews, desk research and existing documents, combined with TSE Consulting's experience of working with sports cities around the world. The Olympic Capital sports cluster already exists and as such this report focuses on providing some key points which will assist in the further development and enhancement of the existing cluster. The report starts with a background and understanding of the cluster as it is today and then provides some key ideas to the further development of the sports cluster in the Olympic Capital. The report provides a definition of a cluster and outlines some of the pros and cons of an industry cluster for the organisations that are operating within them. The key ideas for ensuring that the future development of the cluster is successful are described and a starting point is provided for the next step to take for each point. Final comments are then made in relation to the proposed cluster and the case studies that have been developed in relation to the cluster are outlined in the Appendices. The idea of the cluster is a very exciting start of a new expansion of the sport sector in Lausanne / Canton de Vaud. This report aims to provide ideas and background to kick start the development with very concrete recommendations so that the implementation can start over the coming months.

A framework for analyzing innovation in the context of holiday package industryBudeanu, Adriana (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper has the starting point in the acknowledgement that a closer examination of the operational elements related to holiday packages may reveal advanced opportunities for advanced innovation. The investigation confirms that such opportunities exist in the intangible aspects of tourism products and production. Summarizing these findings, the paper proposes a framework that enables better insights into the nature of tourism innovation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8545

Redskab til kontrol eller udvikling af offentlige organisationer?Hansson, Finn (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Det er en gennemgående tese i denne undersøgelse af interne evalueringer, at en af de vigtigste kendetegn ved den New Public Management -dominerede udvikling af den offentlige sektors reguleringspolitik, som Danmark såvel som en række andre OECD lande har gennemlevet, er en omfattende brug af alle mulige former for evalueringer og tilsvarende vurderings- og kontrolsystemer til styring og regulering af offentlige institutioner og aktiviteter. Den overordnede samfundsmæssige baggrund for denne udvikling består af en sammenkædning af grundlæggende ændringer i forholdet mellem videnskab og samfund, udvikling af mere og mere komplekse reguleringssystemer og måske vigtigst, hastige ændringer i samfundenes værdigrundlag (individualisering, se Beck 1999) – alt sammenholdt med voksende økonomiske problemer for den offentlige sektor i en globaliseret økonomi. Et af de mest karakteristiske træk ved NPM i forhold til tidligere politiske strategier for udvikling af den offentlige sektor er den meget omfattende og i nogle sammen¬hænge systemati¬ske anvendelse af evalueringsmetoder, af refleksive kontrol og reguleringssystemer, det som Power (1997) sammenfattende betegner som 'the audit society'. Overgangen fra styring af offentlige institutioner og organisa¬tioner via generelle politiske målsætninger og økonomisk rammestyring til en moderniseringsproces, hvor udviklingen er styret af et quasi-marked i form af brugerefterspørgsel og resultaterne skal dokumen¬teres i form af produktbeskrivelser, kon¬trakter (con¬tract management) og opfyldelse af kvalitetsmål, har krævet ibrugtagning af en række metoder og teknikker til organisationsudvikling og styring af produkterne kvalitet, som tidligere kun yderst sjældent har været anvendt af offentlige institutioner og organisationer. Mens NPM strategien med privatisering og deregulering viste sig at have begrænset rækkevidde, så efterlod den en omfattende brug af evalueringer og dermed en arv, som i første omgang blot fremtrådte som et teknisk hjælperedskab i udvikling og omlægning af offentlige institutioner, den systematiske brug af evalueringer som kontrol og styringsredskab. Efter en periode viste det sig imidlertid at blive til noget, der er mere end et teknisk hjælpemiddel. Evalueringer er kommet for at blive og har i denne proces fået en langt mere og mere selvstændig rolle og funktion – de er ikke længere blot et redskab til justering og feedback – men fremstår mere og mere som den nye centrale metode for organisationsudvikling i store såvel som små offentlige organisationer.

The Impact of Commission's Proposed Data Protection Regulation: Appendix to Deliverable D5.1Savin, Andrej (Bruxelles, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The European Commission recently proposed a General Data Protection Regulation,1 which is meant to replace the EU Data Protection Directive2 and to thoroughly reform and modernize the EU privacy regulatory framework. The Regulation, if adopted, would introduce a number of changes, several of which would considerably alter the current privacy setting.3 First, the current Directive would be replaced with a Regulation, achieving EU-‐wide harmonization. Second, the scope of the instrument would be widened and the provisions made more precise. Third, the use of consent for data processing would be limited. Fourth, Data protection "by design" would be distinguished from data protection "by default". Fifth, new fundamental rights would be introduced and the old ones clarified. Sixth, new rules on controllers' and processors' duties, on supervisory authorities and on sanctions would be introduced. Finally, the Commission would obtain significant new powers to adopt delegated acts. This appendix explores the impact that the proposed Regulation might have on interoperability of user-‐generated services.4 Since the proposed Regulation is an instrument of high complexity, only those provisions of direct relevance for the project and Work Package 5 will be analysed here.

With police in making space for creativityHartmann, Mia Rosa Koss (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: What does it mean to be innovative in public organizations? Scholars and policy makers call for public sector organizations to become innovative, whether this is through increasing collaboration, exploring networks or recognizing the innovation that occurs in government. This study contributes to this discussion a critical perspective arguing that much of the innovation that occurs in public organizations may come about in ways that are intentionally silenced by the organization and therefore dependent on the tactical creation of space for everyday creativity. It does so through an 18-month ethnographic study informed by Foucault's concepts of governmentality and discourse, as well as his history of the emergence of police within the state, and by De Certeau's theory of everyday practice and metaphor of the city.

FDI with chinese characteristicsCrabtree, Andrew (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: China's FDI to Africa has drawn much attention recently, partially because of the high profile China has given it, and partially because of the political and economic effects it is having on Africa. This paper begins by outlining the political context which is needed to understand Chinese outward FDI, namely the introduction of the "open door" policy and, more particularly, its policy towards Africa. The paper then goes on to give an overview of Chinese FDI in Africa. The paper then turns to ask the question: Is Chinese FDI developmental? To answer this question, it examines the notion of development and argues that much of the "western FDI" debate is severely limited in as far as it concentrates on income poverty and ignores other aspects of multidimensional poverty. After giving an overview of China's involvement in Africa, the paper turns to four case studies of Chinese FDI, examining the developmental impacts on a variety of dimensions (as far as is possible) of different types of FDI in different regimes, namely resource seeking and manufacturing in Zambia, an infrastructure project in Botswana and construction/tourism in Sierra Leone. It warns against generalising from these cases, but suggests that the developmental effects so far have been limited. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6753

Toppenberg, Gustav; Henningsson, Stefan (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The last decade has seen a rise in research on the topic of challenges associated with information systems (IS) in corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Although this proliferation of research has the potential to significantly improve our understanding of IS challenges in M&A activity, absent is the necessary step of consolidating and integrating extant knowledge. In this paper, we review the domain of IS integration in M&As with focus on what have been studied and how it has been studied. By reviewing 37 articles, published in 13 journals, 5 conference proceedings this paper identifies patterns and gaps, and provides directions for future research.

An HCI Study with the Lundbeck InstituteØrngreen, Rikke N.; Nielsen, Janni; Levinsen, Karin; Stanley Christensen, Elise; Mortensen, Ole E. (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper presents the first results of a close collaboration between the HCI-Research Group, at the Department of Informatics, CBS and the Lundbeck Institute.This report contains the resulting descriptions of analyses, investigations and evaluations carried out in the pre-phase. The working paper is written considering both the current and future context of the Lundbeck Institute and what we (in the HCI Research Group) know and need to know more about with respect to the future users of the e-learning activities. Another of our concern has been to investigate the Lundbeck Institute current activities and raise questions that the Institute needs to consider when contemplating a relatively large e-learning project. However, we find that the concepts investigated and the processes we have been through have a general relevance. We are thus grateful to the Lundbeck Institute for allowing publication of these pre-phase results. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6450

A Comparative Study of Four European SolutionsKazan, Erol; Damsgaard, Jan (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper focuses on the triumph march of mobile phones that currently are annexing music players, navigation devices, and cameras as separate physical objects. The next target is set on payment. Through synthesizing available literature, we construct a framework for studying digital payment platforms that combines platform, technology and business design aspects. The framework is applied to conduct a comparative case study of digital payment platforms. Four types of market actors are considered: banks, mobile network operators, merchants, and startups, which are incumbents and disrupters in the payment industry. These actors issue four types of payment systems, and we can observe that three of four platforms types can be classified as multi-sided platforms (MSP). All alternatives seek foothold by issuing evolutionary payment instruments, which are intertwined with digital payment platforms. By hosting third-party services, payment instruments are evolving from single-purpose to multi-functional ones. Our research extends existing payment literature from the MSP perspective to emphasize certain digital payment platform components, which impact strategies and complementary products.

Investment and Determinants of Financial Constraints When Sample Splitting Criteria Are Unknown and EndogenousHobdari, Bersant; Jones, Derek C.; Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Unlike previous empirical work in analyzing investment behavior and the determinants of liquidity constraints, we use a switching regression framework when sample separation is unknown and endogenous and firms are assumed to operate either in the financially constrained or in the financially unconstrained regime. The actual regime the firm is in is determined by a switching or selection function, which depends on those variables that theoretically determine the wedge between internal and external finance, the severity of information and agency problems and time-varying firm characteristics. By using new panel data for Estonian companies during 1993 through 1999 we find that: (i) separate regimes exist in investment behavior; (ii) the likelihood of being financially constrained is higher in firms that are recently privatized, small and where ownership is concentrated in the hands of insiders and the state; (iii) soft budget constraints lower the probability of a firm being financially constrained; (iv) the actual probabilities of operating in the financially constrained regime are calculated to be quite high and essentially stable during 1993-1999: 0.52-0.57 for state owned firms, 0.40-0.46 for domestic owned firms and 0.53-0.57 for employee owned firms; (v) ownership structure affects investment beyond its indirect effects through financial constraints.

By far the worst incident this morning has been on northbound 35E at the Cayuga Bridge where six or more vehicles were involved in a crash just after 8 a.m. Tow trucks are now on the scene hauling away the wreckage, but the freeway remains closed.
Traffic is being forced to exit at Pennsylvania Avenue. That has created a backup to downtown St. Paul.
Along with 35E, the accident is snarling traffic on westbound 94. Plan on 25 minutes from 694 to reach downtown St. Paul, and another 20 to reach downtown Minneapolis.
Icy bridges have led to numerous accidents this morning. On westbound 494, the drive is 75 minutes from Hwy. 61 to Cedar Avenue.
The State Patrol also is responding to a rollover crash on Hwy. 610 near West River Road in Brooklyn Park.

Award-winning country singer/songwriter Elizabeth Lyons said she'll feel like she's at home when she performs at the Lake County Fair July 24. A Winnetka native and New Trier High School graduate, Lyons and her family spent many a hot July day at the fair.
"We used to go with my grandparents and parents to the Lake County Fair when we were little," Lyons recalled.
"I remember the petting zoo, and I loved the food, especially the corn on the cob. My mom let us get whatever we wanted. I loved the fresh air and being away from the worries."
And she always got to see her great Auntie Ann, who has been working at the fair for 57 years.
Listed on the Music Row DisCovery Award & Country Music Association's Who to Watch for 2014, Lyons promises to perform "#Party Rules," one of her fans' favorites. "I've always loved performing, and music has always been something that makes me happy," she said. The hashtag is part of the song title, she said, because she loves tweeting with her social media network fans.
Lyons grew up in Winnetka, playing piano and participating in Children's Theatre of Winnetka and the New Trier High School theater program as well as singing in church choirs.
The Midwestern girl, who believes country music is alive and well here as much as it is in Nashville, said she fell in love with the genre in high school.
"My mom is from small town in Iowa. We have a farm out there and country music was always around," she said. "The story telling is so beautiful. Country music has a way of going right to your heart. It can touch you in the best times and the worst of times."
Taylor Swift was great to listen to when going through heartbreak and Kenny Chesney was great when she just wanted to feel happy, she said.
With a degree in film from Vanderbilt University, Lyons is ready to set the country music scene on fire.
She wrote and had produced six songs on an EP (extend play) in November 2012 that hit No. 42 on the itunes country music chart. "I've sold over 70,000 songs on itune, which is a really big thing for an independent artist," she said.
In June 2013, she released a music video that charted No. 8 on the country music video charts and No. 18 for all genres. The music video featuring her singing, "Everything Tonight."
She's been touring all summer and has opened for Cole Swindell at the Milwaukee Summer Fest among others.
Lyons has the kind of voice and ebullient personality fitting for a trip to The Voice to try to get onto Blake Shelton's team, but that hasn't been one of her goals, she said, although she admits she's starting to think about it.
Grand Ol' Opry? "It's a true dream of mine. We'll make it happen."
Lyons writes or co-writes her own songs – some based on past experiences, for example having a party in the sticks with her family on the Fourth of July in Minnesota. Those kinds of songs set her apart from other country singers who don't focus on Midwestern country living, she said.
When she performs at the Lake County Fair, "it will be such a really special night," she said. She's proud to be singing for veterans who will be honored that day. "We'll recognize all the active and retired military," she said, noting one of her ancestors died while in the military during World War II.
"It's a full circle thing of coming back there. I hope I can inspire some people to follow their dreams whatever they may be, bring everyone together with my music, make it a good time with them to be with their family and having fun. I'll try to bring my Aunt Annie upstage and recognize her 57 years working at the fair."
Her parents, Dennis and Sarah Lyons, still living in Winnetka, will be there, too. Her mom encouraged her to sing at the Lake County Fair. Lyons admires her dad for having worked at the same company for 30 years. "I think it's something that's strong about Midwesterners. That type of hard work ethic is really cool."
