ELMHURST, Ill. – The University of Denver accepted an invitation to become The Summit League's newest member institution, the university and league announced today. Denver will join The Summit League during the 2013-14 academic year.
"I am pleased to announce the University of Denver as our league's newest member," said Summit League Commissioner Tom Douple. "The university is a tremendous addition with an excellent academic reputation and a history of very successful athletics. Denver is a renowned metropolitan area and easily accessed through one of the world's leading airports. All of those qualities make the University of Denver an excellent fit for The Summit League."
Denver's membership will take effect on July 1, 2013. The Pioneers, who compete in men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, and women's volleyball, will be immediately eligible for all Summit League Championships during the 2013-14 season.
"Just as a university is responsible for providing its student-athletes with solid instruction and guidance both in the classroom and on the field of play, a robust conference values educational excellence as well as athletic achievement," said University of Denver Chancellor Robert Coombe. "Considering its strong academic focus along with the competitive success of its member institutions' sports programs, we could not be more pleased than to find a permanent home in The Summit League."
"The current climate within collegiate athletics has made it imperative that the University find a stable home for the majority of our sport programs," said DU Vice Chancellor for Athletics, Recreation and Ritchie Center Operations Peg Bradley-Doppes. "The Summit League is an excellent alliance for our teams, with many institutions within the conference already familiar to residents of the Rocky Mountain region. Our student-athletes will be able to jump in and compete for NCAA post season play right away, which is the goal for all of our athletic programs."
"The extensive document review and the recent site visit verified the close alignment of the University of Denver, academically and athletically, with the member universities of The Summit League. DU has very strong undergraduate, graduate and professional programs and very competitive and accomplished intercollegiate athletics programs," said South Dakota State University President Dr. David Chicoine, the chair of The Summit League's President's Council and a member of the site visit team. "The discussions the site visit team had with faculty leadership, the Chancellor, the Provost and athletics department leadership affirmed the value DU brings to the League and the value The Summit League can bring to DU. It is an outstanding opportunity for us and we are pleased to have DU join The Summit League."
"The inclusion of the University of Denver into The Summit League continues the commitment to strengthening our membership academically and athletically," said Western Illinois Assistant Vice President for Student Services/Director of Athletics Dr. Tim Van Alstine. "Denver has a rich history of competing at a high level and it will certainly bolster the already impressive national profile of The Summit League. I know our coaches and student-athletes will welcome the Pioneers and will look forward to competing with them."
Founded in 1864, the University of Denver has an enrollment of 11,797, including 5,453 undergraduates and 6,344 graduate students. Academically, the Wall Street Journal's 2007 rankings of top business schools ranked DU's Daniels College of Business seventh in the nation for producing graduates with high ethical standards. Daniels College of Business is in the top 15 percent of undergraduate programs and the top five percent of graduate programs among the approximately 550 business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). U.S. News & World Report's annual 2012 college rankings for undergraduate education place Denver 82nd among national doctorial universities.
In athletics, Denver has won four of the last five NCAA Division I-AAA Director's Cups and finished as high as No. 47 in the Directors Cup among all Division I institutions. Within the past 10 years, the Pioneers have captured five NCAA Championships and 18 individual NCAA Championships. Denver also combined for 32 conference tournament championships, 20 regular season championships and 153 individual championships during that span. The Pioneers produced 30 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and captured 11 Sun Belt Conference Graduate Rate Awards over the past 12 seasons.
Famous alumni of the University of Denver include: Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; Pete Coors, CEO of Coors Brewing Co.; Brad Anderson, Vice Chairman and CEO of Best Buy, Co., Inc.; Andy Taylor, Chairman and CEO Enterprise Rent-A-Car; and Olympic Silver and Bronze Figure Skating Medalist Michelle Kwan. Notables in professional sports from DU include: current San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich; Jerome Biffle, 1952 Olympic Long Jump Gold Medalist; former NHL players Kevin Dineen, Keith Magnuson and Bill Masterson; former NHL executive and 1980 "Miracle On Ice" assistant coach Craig Patrick; and current NHL standouts Matt Carle (Philadelphia Flyers), Tyler Bozak (Toronto Maple Leafs) and Paul Stastny (Colorado Avalanche).
Denver's metro area ranks as the 21st largest in the United States with a population of 2.87 million. The city of Denver had a population of 619,968 in 2011 and features the 10th largest downtown area. Denver has professional teams in each of the five major sports leagues and its airport is the largest by area in the United States and ranked as the 11th-busiest by passenger traffic in the world in 2011.
Entering its fourth decade of Division I athletics, The Summit League offers 19 championship sports and has a combined enrollment of over 144,000 at nine universities, four of which are located in top 58 U.S. metro populations (Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City and Omaha). Member institutions include: Fort Wayne (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), Kansas City (University of Missouri-Kansas City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Omaha (University of Nebraska Omaha), the University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University and Western Illinois University. Previously known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League rebranded in 2007 and has since produced 54 All-Americans, 37 Academic All-America selections and seven NCAA Championships. For more information about the league and its history, visit www.thesummitleague.org to "See The Summit" or follow on Twitter @thesummitleague.
Founded in 1864, only a few years after the city itself, the University of Denver is one of the country's premier private universities. The University's 125-acre campus, a few miles south of downtown Denver, is home to more than 11,000 students hailing from all regions of the U.S. and 93 other countries.
The University offers:
• More than 170 undergraduate programs of study
• More than 120 graduate and professional programs
Regardless of what they study, University of Denver students embark on a personal educational journey that helps them find and follow their individual purpose.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Redhead Construction Spanish Co.
Gen X-er with 15 years of Const background starting new company that intends to break down traditional barriers that exist on jobsites between English & Spanish-speaking teammates through cool, fun and memorable teaching techniques designed specifically for the Const Trade. Sick & Tired of lack of inclusiveness, productivity, and safety (Latinos 3x more likely to be injured) on jobsites because no one has found a time-sensitive & fun way to teach Const Spanish and have it stick - that will change. As the name implies, I do have red hair that is (can be) memorable. The const industry is rarely on the cutting edge of tech, coolness, or anything else, and I'd like to quickly stand out as something new & different. Company culture is based around teaching Const Spanish in innovative new ways unlike those taught in any classrooms. Internal company motto is, "Do cool shit every damn day or die trying. Inactivity is lame ." You get the idea. We are competitive as hell, but look to have fun and improve each day - individually and as a team.
Target market is the US construction industry (commercial and residential) & will be aimed more specifically at the next generation of construction leaders that understand the Latino demographic shift in the US and view it as an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage vs. threat to the status quo. Desired audience will be more design sensitive and will pick up on subtle cues of new companies, ie, differentiated logos that stand out.
Looking for logo to be used on biz cards, letterhead (etc), apparel and website. Would like to capitalize somehow on the "red head" aspect as this should make it easy to remember. Would like logo to encapsulate the 3 main components of the company: a redheaded dude, construction, and the Spanish language. Interested in fresh approaches to designs that will "say" those 3 things clearly. If hardhat can be incorporated fluidly - great; the early-adopters are focusing on safety, but if it doesn't fit - no worries. I'd rather select a fresh design that includes the 3 main components mentioned above without a hardhat than something everyone has seen before that includes one. No dudes with toolbelts and no gumby-looking guys with red circles for heads.

Mitch McGary Impressive, More Thoughts on Michigan's Win Over Penn StatePosted by KTrahan on March 14th, 2013
Kevin Trahan writes for the Big Ten Microsite and covers Northwestern sports for InsideNU.com. Follow him on Twitter at @k_trahan for Big Ten Tournament updates.
Michigan is off to the second round of the Big Ten Tournament for a date with Wisconsin after an 83-66 win over Penn State in the first round. The Wolverines' struggles this season with the Nittany Lions continued in the first half, as they led by just two at halftime, but they pulled away in the second half for an easy win. Five UM players scored in double figures, led by Trey Burke with 21.
Here are three thoughts from courtside:
- Mitch McGary is going to be special: Big men typically take longer to develop as freshmen than guards to, so it's no surprise that Mitch McGary wasn't the most "fab" of Michigan's star freshmen in the early going. However, over the past month, McGary has shown vast improvements and has arguably been the Wolverines' best young player over that time span. McGary continued that dominance in the first half on Thursday afternoon, posting 10 points and 10 rebounds in 13 minutes of action. He had just one more rebound and no points in the second half, but the game broke open quickly and he wasn't needed. McGary's improvement is a great sign for a Michigan frontcourt that will need someone to step up next year. He'll be helpful in this year's UM postseason run, but next year is when he'll ultimately be able to become a star, rather than just a role player. He has all the tools for stardom — he's aggressive on the boards and has a great knack for the basket on second-chance opportunities — and as he gains experience, he'll become even more of a threat.
- A good tune-up for Michigan: It's kind of hard to believe that just a month ago, Michigan was the #1 team in the nation. Now, the Wolverines couldn't even get a bye on the first day of the Big Ten Tournament. John Beilein's team has struggled through a number of tough losses this season, none tougher than last Sunday's home loss to Illinois, when a bad roll on the rim cost them a big win and a higher seed in the Big Ten Tournament. That can really mess with your psyche. In a way, Thursday's result at United Center was the perfect one for the Wolverines as they enter postseason play. It offered some adversity — Penn State began the game up 14-3 — but once things settled down, it helped the Wolverines build their confidence. They were effective from beyond the arc and got the ball inside, the latter of which they've struggled to do down the stretch. Friday's game against Wisconsin will be a much bigger test, but Thursday's game against Michigan couldn't have gone much better for Beilein and company.
- Penn State's future is bright: Penn State just might be the best 2-16 conference team in history. Being the best at being the worst isn't exactly encouraging in itself, but the Nittany Lions are vastly improved since the beginning of the year, and that's without first team All-Big Ten point guard Tim Frazier. They own recent wins against Michigan and Northwestern and also nearly took down Wisconsin and Iowa. They're starting to get more confident, and next year could be the year they put it all together. Penn State could potentially have the best backcourt in the Big Ten in 2013-14. Frazier will be back, along with D.J. Newbill and Jermaine Marshall, who are both much better now than they were in January. The frontcourt, which has been a weakness all season, has started to improve. Forward Ross Travis has really started to come into his own, and he posted 12 points and 11 rebounds against the Wolverines. Four of those rebounds came in the early going, when he was arguably the best player on the floor for a stretch. As the pieces start to come together and players continue to improve, look out for Pat Chambers' squad. Things are definitely looking up, even coming off a year with just two conference wins.

John Singleton Copley
Copley, John Singleton (American portrait painter)
John Singleton Copley (kŏp´lē), 1738–1815, American portrait painter, b. Boston. Copley is considered the greatest of the American old masters. He studied with his stepfather, Peter Pelham, and undoubtedly frequented the studios of Smibert and Feke. At 20 he was already a successful portrait painter with a mature style remarkable for its brilliance, clarity, and forthright characterization. In 1766 his Boy with the Squirrel was exhibited in London and won the admiration of Benjamin West, who urged him to come to England. However, he remained in America for eight years longer and worked in New York City and Philadelphia as well as in Boston.
In 1774 Copley visited Italy and then settled in London, where he spent the remainder of his life, enjoying many honors and the patronage of a distinguished clientele. In England his style gained in subtlety and polish but lost most of the vigor and individuality of his early work. He continued to paint portraits but enlarged his repertoire to include the enormous historical paintings that constituted the chief basis of his fame abroad. His large historical painting The Death of Lord Chatham (Tate Gall., London) gained him admittance to the Royal Academy. His rendering of a contemporary disaster, Brook Watson and the Shark (Mus. of Fine Arts, Boston), stands as a unique forerunner of romantic horror painting.
Today Copley's reputation rests largely upon his early American portraits, which are treasured not only for their splendid pictorial qualities but also as the most powerful graphic record of their time and place. Portraits such as those of Nicholas Boylston and Mrs. Thomas Boylston (Harvard), Daniel Hubbard (Art Inst., Chicago), Gov. Mifflin and Mrs. Mifflin (Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia), and Paul Revere (Mus. of Fine Arts, Boston) are priceless documents in which the life of a whole society seems mirrored. Among his finest later portraits are the curiously distorted image of Samuel Adams (Mus. of Fine Arts, Boston) and the group portrait of the Copley family (privately owned). The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has an excellent collection of his works. Copley's son was Baron Lyndhurst.

Are You Adhering to Your Prescription Drug Regimen?
Adhering to medication means taking the medication correctly, as instructed by a health care professional. This includes filling and refilling the prescription, taking it regularly, and continuing to take it for as long as prescribed. While this may seem simple, the World Health Organization has reported an average medication adherence rate of only 50 percent for people with chronic illnesses in developed countries. So, why is only half of the population taking their medicines as prescribed? Moreover, why is it important to adhere to your medication regimen anyway? Read on to find out why it's important and how you can improve your adherence.
Why Adherence Matters?
Simply put, it can improve your overall quality of life. Evidence suggests that for many chronic illnesses, higher medication adherence reduces hospital visits. Fewer visits to the hospital mean lower medical costs as well.
Adherence to medication may be 'easier said than done' for many people. There are a variety of barriers that may make it difficult for patients to follow their medication therapy. Here are a few of those barriers and suggestions for how to get around them.
Often times, patients just cannot afford their medications. Perhaps there are alternative drugs available that do not cost as much. Talk with your prescriber or pharmacist. They may be able to help you find a more affordable drug.
You can also visit the Medtipster website, www.medtipster.com, to determine the cost of a prescription. The tool can help you compare the price on related drug products.
Side Effects
Your medicine may trigger unpleasant side effects, causing you to stop taking it. Talk to your doctor about these side effects. They may be able to switch you to a different medicine to reduce the side effects. They may also have suggestions for minimizing the side effects. Your doctor has your best interest in mind and is a knowledgeable resource to help improve your quality of life.
Feeling Better
There are five pills left, but you started to feel better and decided to stop taking your medicine. Before you stop, talk to your prescriber. Stopping early may cause more health problems. For instance, if a patient has a bacterial infection and stops taking his or her medicine early, some bacteria may still be alive. These bacteria could start a whole new strain of resistant germs. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2009). Even though you may feel better, try to continue to take your medicine(s).
Make taking your medicine a part of your daily routine. Once you are used to taking your medicines regularly, it will not seem like a burden on your lifestyle. Buying a pill minder dispenser may help; it's an easy daily reminder to take your medicine. Write down a schedule of when to take your medicines or add it to the calendar on your electronic device.
Health Care Beliefs and Attitudes
Some patients hold certain beliefs or attitudes that stop them from being adherent to their medication regimen. For example, a patient may believe that taking a medication as prescribed will not lead to a predicted outcome or that a particular disease state is not significant or will not lead to severe untoward outcomes. Talk with your prescriber about your beliefs. He or she may have more information about your illness and medicine than you know. Your prescriber can tell you why it is in your best interest to adhere to taking your medicine(s).
Adhering to your medicine can improve your overall quality of life, so take care to adhere to your prescribed medication regimen. For a better result, you will be glad you attended to your health.

Team Zoo is a Japanese cooperative of small studios including architecture, urban planning, furniture makers and graphic designers. Formed in 1971 as Atelier Zō by graduates of Waseda University, Tokyo, the group was influenced by the architect and educator, Takamasa Yoshizaka, whose emphasis on regional identity and vernacular approaches they adopted. By 1978 the group had expanded, calling itself Team Zoo with each individual practice named after a different animal. The organisational structure of Team Zoo is the result of the unique Japanese context, where the rapid post-war economic growth fuelled a building boom that demanded extremely fast paced construction, something very difficult for a small office to achieve. The group therefore comes together for large-scale projects that demand such a commitment, whilst working independently in the interim. The high rents of Tokyo also saw many of the individual practices moving out to the provinces, where most of their projects were located, mainly schools, kindergartens and community buildings as well as some housing.
Many of the group's buildings are designed to be intimate in scale with large institutional buildings being broken down and clustered together. Team Zoo also insist on using local materials and craftsmen; often this has led to new workshops being set up by artisans employed by them. For example, Atelier Iruka in Kobe used traditional plastering methods for the exterior of their library in Wakimachi, contacting craftsmen whose skills were almost forgotten and arranging for young apprentices to be trained, thus ensuring the survival of the craft for at least another generation. They also commissioned traditional birds and dragons from a local tile factory saving it from closure. Atelier Zo, which is the most active of the studios, is known for its buildings expressing the zoological metaphors of the groups' names, for example Domo Cerakanto takes its shape from a mythical fish. The combination of such metaphors with vernacular traditions stand in marked contrast to much of contemporary Japanese architecture and the loose cooperative structure of the group has ensured that their slower and more individualised approach to architecture can survive in a highly competitive context.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. manufacturing grew in November at its quickest pace in five months, bolstered by a rise in domestic demand, an industry survey showed on Wednesday.
Financial information firm Markit said its U.S. "flash," or preliminary, manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index rose to 52.4 from a three-year low of 51.0 in October. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
Output in the sector and domestic new orders also grew at their fastest pace since June, while the pace of hiring in the factory sector was the swiftest in four months.
Some respondents said efforts to rebuild after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the U.S. East Coast in late October may have accounted for some of the increased demand.
But Markit chief economist Chris Williamson said there were "surprisingly few" who tied the increase in output or employment to the storm, adding that weather-related effects might show up more prominently in next month's survey.
The decline in new orders from overseas clients, meanwhile, was the slowest since May, "suggesting trade will also act as less of a dampener on the economy during the summer months," Williamson said.
"This is an encouraging sign that the slowdown in the goods-producing sector may have bottomed out," he said, which should make manufacturing a positive contributor to overall U.S. growth in the fourth quarter after acting as a slight drag between August and October.
One possible cause for concern: a sharp rise in the survey's input prices component to 63.6, the highest reading since March. Here, however, the storm probably did play a part by causing short-term shortages of certain goods and breaking supply chains temporarily, Williamson said.
The "flash" reading is based on replies from about 85 percent of the U.S. manufacturers surveyed. Markit's final reading will be released on the first business day of the following month.

Here we go again. Our commissioners that promised not to raise taxes again find a new way so as not to be blamed.
To the editor:
Here we go again. Our commissioners that promised not to raise taxes again find a new way so as not to be blamed.
They know that with nothing on the ballot but the school bond to attract voters, most votes will come from those that benefit from these dollars. They�re helping the schools send their wish list to Santa Claus.
There are two words that elected officials apparently do not have in their vocabulary � �cut spending.� Do they ever consider those on fixed incomes or low-salaried citizens who have seen their home insurance, gas, food, taxes, health care, repairs and most necessities double?
They have no way of requesting a bond or any other type of additional money to pay bills. They must adjust their living accordingly.
Thank God for the education lottery � hopefully that will prevent them from requesting the deeds to our homes.
I know the Board of Commissioners has a tough job to do, what with parents wanting babysitters and kids that think they are owed something for nothing and know it all. We still owe $90 million dollars on past bonds. Can we, as government does, pass this on to our grandchildren? That should help with their education.
Is it money that prepares our kids to compete with other kids academically around the world and prepares them to be productive, self-supporting, taxpaying citizens? Or does it take qualified, caring dedicated teachers and schools officials with the help of parents to prepare our kids to meet their potential.
How much money does our school system get from the county, lottery, state, federal government and other sources per year?
Times are tough and will get worse with our present government. Would they like to share the wealth with us?

Some Pentagon reporters were taken off guard by Leon Panetta's blunt-talking first news conference as Secretary of Defense.
They shouldn't have been.
Panetta, a former long-time House member from Monterey, raised eyebrows when he waded directly into Washington's budget fight by saying that tax hikes need to be considered to help offset deep military spending cuts as part of the debt ceiling package.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I didn't come into this job to quit," he said. "I came into this job to fight."
Panetta's candor is no surprise to those of us who've tracked his long political career.
I first met Panetta in 1978, when he was a new member of Congress and I was a rookie reporter just out of college.
Panetta would come to his district office in San Luis Obispo and hold media roundtables.
No rules, no restrictions. Any topic was fair game. Panetta didn't dissemble; he liked to tell you what was on his mind.
A former registered Republican who worked for President Nixon's Justice Department, Panetta later became White House budget director and then chief of staff for President Clinton.
Panetta told me several years ago, while he was running his foundation at Cal State Monterey, that California's budget woes couldn't be solved with cuts alone; that then-Governor Schwarzenegger's focus on waste and fraud was a dead end.
In 2008, I sat next to him in a media skybox at the Democratic convention in Denver, where he was watching the nomination process for President Obama.
At the time, I assumed he would be a top recruitment prospect for Obama, although he showed no indication that he would leave the good life in Monterey.
The inaugural was barely over when Pres. Obama recruited Panetta to be director of the CIA. He took over the Defense post on July 1.
Panetta's willingness to float the tax issue, instead of merely criticizing cuts, is entirely characteristic as he takes on his latest role in Washington.

Google will no longer sell ads for porn on its sites, according to reports.
Google made it official policy Monday that it would no longer advertise or promote "sexually-themed sites," according to CNBC, a policy that had been in the works for a while.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I was caught by surprise," Theo Sapoutzis, chairman and CEO of AVN Media Network, told CNBC. "I was one of the very first advertisers for AdWords back in 2002. It's something that's been [untouched] for 12 years, so you don't expect change is going to start happening."
Advertisers that would be affected were notified by email. From the report:
Beginning in the coming weeks, we'll no longer accept ads that promote graphic depictions of sexual acts . . . When we make this change, Google will disapprove all ads and sites that are identified as being in violation of our revised policy. Our system identified your account as potentially affected by this policy change. We ask that you make any necessary changes to your ads and sites to comply so that your campaigns can continue to run.
Adult industry insiders say this could hurt the industry. "There are many people who say the biggest losers are the ones who play by the rules," Tom Hymes, senior editor at industry trade publication AVN told CNBC. "The winners are the huge properties with a lot of free content and frequent updates—the type of actions the Google algorithms really like."
Despite the change, "porn" is still one of the most popular searched on the search engine -- garnering 351 million searches in May. So, is Google biting the hand that feeds it? Likely not, since Google will continue to gain revenue with or without porn ads. The upside is that losing porn ads is unlikely to have much opposition despite complaints by the adult industry.

Björk, Tomas; Murgoci, Agatha; Zhou, Xun Yu (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to study the mean–variance portfolio optimization in continuous time. Since this problem is time inconsistent we attack it by placing the problem within a game theoretic framework and look for subgame perfect Nash equilibrium strategies. This particular problem has already been studied in [2] where the authors assumed a con- stant risk aversion parameter. This assumption leads to an equilibrium control where the dollar amount invested in the risky asset is independent of current wealth, and we argue that this result is unrealistic from an eco- nomic point of view. In order to have a more realistic model we instead study the case when the risk aversion depends dynamically on current wealth. This is a substantially more complicated problem than the one with constant risk aversion but, using the general theory of time inconsis- tent control developed in [4], we provide a fairly detailed analysis on the general case. In particular, when the risk aversion is inversely proportional to wealth, we provide an analytical solution where the equilibrium dollar amount invested in the risky asset is proportional to current wealth. The equilibrium for this model thus appears more reasonable than the one for the model with constant risk aversion. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9097

Strand, Robert (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The metaphors of strategic management are predominantly rooted in competition in support of the objective to achieve a "competitive advantage." Drawn from military, sport, and (oftentimes incomplete) interpretations of evolutionary biology, these metaphors imply that business is a zero-sum competitive game. Metaphors are not "just" words but, rather, they impact thoughts and actions. Hence the use of competitive metaphors encourages competitive behavior in business. We argue that this misdirects the purpose of business from being about value creation and, moreover, that value creation is most effectively achieved by approaching business as a fundamentally cooperative endeavor. Furthermore, these "survival of the fittest" sorts of metaphors inhibit considerations toward ethics, humanism, and sustainability. We call for a shift toward metaphors rooted in cooperation and as a means to do so we also call for a shift in focus from achieving "competitive advantage" toward achieving "cooperative advantage" as the objective of strategic management. We conclude by laying out some promising research avenues for further considerations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8880

Cross-national Transfer of Socially Responsible InvestmentBoxenbaum, Eva; Gond, Jean-Pascal (Frederiksberg, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper examines how individuals select and mobilize local institutions when they transfer business practices across societies that are construed as dissimilar to one another. We investigate empirically how the American business practice of socially responsible investment (SRI) was transferred to France and Quebec. Our analysis identifies five micro-strategies that were employed to contextualize SRI, namely filtering, rerouting, stowing, defusing, and coupling. This repertoire of micro-strategies extends previous research on contextualization, translation, and institutional transfers and links them to one another. They may also help explain why some transfers succeed while others fail. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7875

Abstract: Economic theory predicts that military conscription is associated with static inefficiencies as well as with dynamic distortions of the accumulation of human and physical capital. Relative to an economy with an allvolunteer force, output levels and growth rates should be lower in countries that rely on a military draft to recruit their army personnel. For OECD countries, we show that military conscription indeed has a statistically significantly negative impact on economic performance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7714

The Roles of Knowledge Sources and Organizational Instruments in MNC Knowledge ManagementFoss, Nicolai J; Pedersen, Torben (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recent research on the differentiated MNC has concerned knowledge flows between MNC units. While linking up with this literature, we extend in two directions. First, we argue that conceptualizing the MNC as a knowledge structure furthers the understanding of intra-MNC knowledge flows. Thus, we see MNC knowledge elements as being structured along such dimensions as their type and degree of complementarity to other knowledge elements, and their sources, for example, whether they are mainly developed from external or internal knowledge sources. These dimensions matter in terms of knowledge flows, because they influence the costs and benefits of knowledge transfer and, hence, the actual level of knowledge transferred. Second, based on this conceptualization, we argue that MNC management can influence the development, characteristics and transfer of knowledge through choices regarding organizational instruments (control, motivation and context). We test six hypotheses derived from these arguments against a unique dataset on subsidiary knowledge development. The dataset includes information on organizational instruments, sources of subsidiary knowledge, and the extent of knowledge transfer to other MNC units. It covers more than 2,000 subsidiaries located in seven different European countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7317

An Analysis of ICMB 2006Damsgaard, Jan; Hedman, Jonas (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyzes the 44 papers included in the proceedings of the 5th ICMB conference in Copenhagen 2006. The purpose of the paper was to investigate to what extent the conference fulfilled its objectives which was to compare previous expectations with present realities along the following four areas: (1) business models, (2) the influence of m-business on private and work life, (3) the impact of regulation, and (4) the re-composition of the value network. In the analysis we apply the well-known framework by Lyytinen and Yoo for studying nomadic computing. In addition to this we also classify the papers in relation to type of artifact investigated, application area, and research methodology. The analysis show that the main focus lay on the use and adoption of mobile services – over 60% of the papers address. Few papers address the impact of service on any level of analysis. Business model is a recurring topic in 17 of the papers. There is lack in theorizing of the artifact, e.g. many just study mobile devices, but do not describe what type they study.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to develop a model of how managers perceive the responsibilities of business towards society. The article is based on the survey responses of more than 1,000 managers in eight large international firms. It is concluded that the managerial perceptions of societal responsibilities differ in some respects from the mainstream models found in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business ethics literature. The article is an output of RESPONSE: an EUand corporate-funded research project on managerial perceptions of CSR. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7126

A Case of Danish Multinationals and their Subsidiaries in P.R. China and IndiaWorm, Verner; Xu, Xiaojun; Shinha, Jai b.P. (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: By drawing on a selective review of literature, we propose that the culture of Danish multinationals and transnational organizations interface with the Chinese and Indian societal and managerial cultures in order to create hybrid cultures in Danish subsidiaries in P. R. China and India. The hybrid culture moderates the relationships between the forms of knowledge and internationalization of multinationals on one hand and the transfer of knowledge on the other. It is postulated that stable cultural frames of the Danes and Chinese managers, both having stable cultural frame, will require long drawn efforts to overcome the cultural distance and transfer the various forms and levels of knowledge in the initial years of the subsidiaries. On the other hand, Indians' style of switching their cultural frames will create less entry problems but more recurring problems once Danish multinationals will get going. Once the postulates are empirically validated, potential implications for strategic interventions are briefly discussed. Keywords: Knowledge transfer, culture, MNCs.

Abstract: Modularization refers to the opportunity for mixing-and-matching of components in a modular product design in which the standard interfaces between components are specified to allow for a range of variation in components to be substituted in a product architecture. It is through mixing-and-matching of these components, and how these components interface with one another, that new systems are created. Consequently, the degree of modularization inherent in a system is highly dependent upon the components and the interface constraints shared among the components, modules, and sub-systems. In this paper, a mathematical model is derived for analyzing the degree of modularization in a given product architecture by taking into consideration the number of components, number of interfaces, the composition of new-to-the-firm (NTF) components, and substitutability of components. An analysis of Chrysler windshield wipers controller suggests that two product architectures may share similar interface constraints, but the opportunity for modularization of one module is significant higher than the other due to the higher substitutability of its components and lower composition of NTF components.

Will China Continue to Hold Together?Brødsgaard, Kjeld Erik (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The recent Bo Xilai affair has created strains in the Chinese political system and has intensified the power struggle concerning the new leadership appointments due to take place at the 18th Party Congress. The pressure on the political system is intensified by a number of social phenomena such as increased fragmentation, vested interests, corruption, social unrest, increased income and social inequalities and a de facto reform stop since 2009. Some scholars believe that we now see the end of 'resilient authoritarianism' and that China either will experience a political and social collapse or move towards a democratic system. However, developments since 1989 show the regime's amazing ability to revitalize its organizational capabilities and regain its Mandate of Heaven. It may be too early to declare the Party over.

An Inspiring Experience for the Sahara RegionLyck, Lise (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article includes as Part One factual information on Greenland and the structure of the Greenlandic economy, and factual information on the Sahara Region, south of Morocco. It is needed in order to have a basic understanding of what Greenland and the Sahara region are, seen from an economic, political and geographical point of view. Furthermore, the current economic situation in both Greenland and the Sahara region is presented together with the development of the last years. Part Two of the article deals with the constitutional framework conditions for Greenland in relation to being part of the Danish Realm, Greenland being situated in the Arctic with a geostrategic position for more Southern powers (America, the Nordic countries and Russia), being inhabited by indigenous people and having a prominent position in relation to sustainability. It also deals with "the Moroccan Initiative for Negotiating an Autonomy Statute for the Sahara Region" , as presented by Morocco to the Security Council on 11 April 2007. Part Three deals with natural resources both in Greenland and the Sahara Region. Firstly a short introduction to living resources, mainly the fisheries is presented. Secondly, the mineral resources are presented and analysed in depth. It includes the search for minerals, petroleum and gas before and after 1979. Furthermore, it includes the development and content of the mineral laws. In this context, the Greenland strategy for mining is presented. Finally, the status on minerals and petroleum resources in Greenland and the Sahara region is presented. Part Four includes the conclusion and the perspectives for ownership and management resources that can be learnt from the Greenland experiences, in particular in the context of the Moroccan Initiative for the Autonomy of the Sahara Region.

Reconceptualising the Chinese Diaspora in Southeast AsiaJacobsen, Michael (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper argues that the fluidity that permeates the contemporary international community is driven by especially political and economic globalisation, which has a huge impact of the relationship between the nation and the state. As the individual nation state is increasingly depending on the international community for its economic survival this dependency on the global has as a consequence that it rolls back aspects of national sovereignty thus opening up the national hinterland for further international influences. These developments initiate a process of disaggregating state and nation, meaning that a gradual disarticulation of the relationship between state and nation produces new societal spaces, which are contested by non-statist interest groups and transnational more or less deterritorialised ethnic affiliated groups and networks. The argument forwarded in this article is that the ethnic Chinese utilises these newly created spaces for setting up diasporic like networks thus providing substance for transnational ethnoscapes or nations without states.

After all, the Hanna, Alta., and McCord, Sask., venues, two of the smaller stops on the schedule, only offer a combined purse of $3,200 an event.
But, for the last three or four years, they've got more attention from non-Canadian cowboys and barrel racers.
This weekend, the two rodeos have attracted a dozen Americans, some from as far away as Texas and New Mexico.
And, the most they can win for first is anywhere from $550 to $1,400 depending on the event — hardly enough to pay entry fees and travel expenses.
But, there's more at stake than what's visible on the surface.
All of the Americans are taking advantage of their last opportunity to qualify for November's Canadian Finals Rodeo at Edmonton, where they'll be playing for nearly $1.4 million in prize money.
For a couple of guys, like Oregon bareback rider Jason Havens and Texas team roper Paul Eaves, it's only a matter of being at either at Hanna or McCord and nodding their heads. It doesn't matter if they win any money.
Among the CFR qualification guidelines, every contestant must compete at a minimum of 15 Canadian rodeos.
Eaves, leading the team roping heeling rankings, has only been to 14. Same with Havens, 12th in the bareback riding standings and a lock to qualify for the CFR.
Then there are two saddle bronc riders — Dusty Hausauer, from North Dakota and Wyoming's Chet Johnson.
Hausauer is 11th in the standings and trying to protect his territory. Johnson is 14th, just $590 behind him. In between, a couple of Canadians, Justin Berg and Justin Meston.
Ironically, Hausauer and Johnson are former Canadian champions.
The most interesting debate is in the calf roping.
A maximum of five Americans qualify for the CFR in any one event.
Utah's Clint Robinson, seventh in the standings, currently ranks as the fifth American. Texan Stetson Vest is eighth in the rankings, a mere $122 behind Robinson.
But, both still could qualify. Montana's Chad Johnson is sixth in the standings, just $522 ahead of Robinson and $744 up on Vest.
First in the roping at the two rodeos combined pays more than $2,400, so there's plenty of room to manoeuvre.
Oregon's Blake Knowles, 17th in the steer wrestling standings, faces the stiffest test of all.
He has to win a minimum $1,236 to crawl inside the top 12. He'll have to place at both rodeos, which have a total of $2,300 up for grabs. Fellow Oregonian Sean Santucci is 13th in the same event and needs to win a minimum of $221.
The barrel racing is fairly straightforward.
Oregon's Brenda Mays simply has to show up at both rodeos to fill her 15 count and maybe win a few bucks. If she's shut out, New Mexico's Sydni Blanchard would get in by picking up $440 somewhere along the line.
Both rodeos start on Friday night. McCord goes two nights starting at 7:30. Hanna starts at 7 the first two nights and Sunday at 1 p.m.

Before taking a series of cheap shots at Howard Kurtz, the former Daily Beast Washington bureau chief and CNN "Reliable Sources" host who has moved to Fox News to host its "Fox News Watch" program, Salon political reporter Alex Seitz-Wald characterized Kurtz's new employer as "a stable for journalists who have fallen on hard times."
In related news, the New York Yankees and the Miami Heat, respectively, have become basement-dwelling final refuges for baseball and basketball players whose skills have seriously eroded. (/sarcasm).
Seitz-Wald was last seen at NewsBusters peddling the snortworthy assertion that Fox News was almost as negligent in covering the trial of now-convicted infant-killer Kermit Gosnell as the Big Three broadcast networks, and that conservative media in general also mostly ignored the story. Puh-leeze. In his latest exercise in fantasy, the Salon writer claims that, "considering how much there is to criticize about the network," Kurtz has been far too soft on the nation's leading cable news channel (links are in original; bolds and numbered tags are mine):
Howard Kurtz & Fox News: A true love story
The purported media critic has long treated the "fair and balanced" network with awe and romance
Fox News and Howard Kurtz may be a good match not only because the conservative news network has become a stable for journalists who have fallen on hard times, but because the former Daily Beast Washington bureau chief has long been more generous to the network than many of his fellow media critics.
Not surprisingly, Fox has often come in for a drubbing from media watchdogs for its often conservative, narrative-driven news coverage. But Kurtz, while occasionally willing to call foul on Fox, is generally pretty credulous of the cable news channel, defending it during controversies, favorably profiling its personalities, and seemingly overlooking its lapses.
But there's more.
Kurtz took Sean Hannity's side [1] in his battle with Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison after the Fox host called the congressman an Islamic "radical" comparable to the Ku Klux Klan; he defended the network after the Shirley Sherrod scandal [2]; downplayed News Corp.'s $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association [3]; favorably profiled anchors Bill Hemmer [4], Shepard Smith [5], and Megyn Kelly [6], along with chieftain Roger Ailes [7]; seemed to take the network's side in its dispute with former host Glenn Beck; and declared that Karl Rove is "generally fair-minded in his commentary." [8]
In the early days of the Tea Party rallies in 2009, Kurtz equated "whatever role Fox played in pumping them up" with mainstream reporters who were "late in recognizing the significance of the protests." Journalists at CNN and MSNBC who "also performed badly on April 15th," he wrote in a Washington Post Q&A with readers ... [9]
... This isn't to say Kurtz hasn't criticized Fox News. He's had a number of scrapes with the network, especially his made-for-TV feud with Bill O'Reilly that led to an on-air debate in February.
... But considering how much there is to criticize about the network, one might expect more from one of the country's most prominent media critics — who had a media watchdog TV show on a rival network for years. Perhaps, as some smart liberals like Alyssa Rosenberg and Simon Maloy have written, the move could actually be good for Kurtz and Fox. It could hardly get worse. [10]
(Full disclosure: Yours truly and Kurtz had a bit of a run-in in 2006 which I don't believe colors this post in any way. But I'm reporting it so readers can decide.)
Overall, what Seitz-Wald doesn't get is that what looks "conservative" to him is more often than not "fair and balanced."
But let's hit the specifics:
[1] -- Congressman Keith Ellison is an Islamic radical, and sharia law treatment of non-Muslims is in many ways comparable to the KKK's enforced treatment of Negroes in the South as second-class citizens and even non-citizens. Ellison's "rabid support for the anti-semitic views of Nation of Islam leader Pastor Louis Farrakhan and the late Black Militant leader Khalid Muhammad" definitely qualify him as an Islamic radical.
[2] -- Fox did far better than the broadcast networks and its cable competitors with the Sherrod scandal (wow, Seitz-Wald actually calls it a "scandal"), and was the only network willing to look at how the Sherrods had financially benefitted from a lifetime of racial grievance-mongering. Seitz-Wald also ignores that even the New York Times has acknowledged how the entire Pigford case claiming discrimination against black farmers turned into a fraud magnet, specifically a runaway train, driven by racial politics, pressure from influential members of Congress and law firms."
[3] -- Washington Post coverage of the story acknowledged that "It is hardly unusual for media companies to support candidates and political parties." No kidding.
[4] -- While noting that Hemmer has "a generally balanced approach, a style he honed in his native Cincinnati and during 10 years at CNN," Kurtz criticized his program because "the bookings on the two-hour program, and sometimes the story selection, tilt markedly to the right." (Of course, that tilt might have a lot to do with the fact that leftists don't like challenging questions coming from fair and balanced journalists.)
[5] -- Shepard Smith leans left. Kurtz noted that obvious fact. What's your problem, Alex?
[6] -- Kelly's sin appears to be having told Fox's Brit Hume during the interview processs that "She came in believing there was a left bias in the news." You don't say?
[7] -- The 2006 Ailes profile has its fair share of criticisms and points to what was then a pretty serious ratings decline.
[8] -- Kurtz had plenty of company in his assessment of Rove: "Slate said the 'mild-mannered' Rove 'has merely offered clarity, concision, humility, good humor, good posture, and dispassionate analysis.' New York Times columnist David Carr called him 'one of the best things on television news right now . . . graceful, careful and generous.'"
[9] -- If anything, Kurtz was being too kind to other journalists, whose hostility to Tea Party activists was already self-evident by that time.
[10] -- Oh, it can get worse, and it has been getting worse -- for Fox's competition:
On Thursday, June 20, Fox's total audience was greater than CNN, MSNBC, and HLN combined in every measurement: Total Day, Primetime, and every individual 4 p.m. to midnight prime-time slot. As seen above, it had almost 60 percent of the prime-time cable news audience. Ten weeks ago on April 11, another Thursday, Fox "only" had a 48 percent prime-time share.
Sorry, Alex Seitz-Wald. Far from being a place for "journalists who have fallen on hard times," Fox is more likely seen as a place where journalists can feel reasonably assured that if they do fair and balanced work, they'll be able to keep their jobs. At the other three networks, that would seem to be a dubious proposition.

What is Travelers Philanthropy?
Travelers inevitably impact the people and places they visit. The USAID-funded Ethiopia Sustainable Tourism Alliance, with support from Sustainable Travel International, is proud to introduce the Ethiopia Travelers Philanthropy Fund. The fund opens the door for travelers to give back to Ethiopia, ensuring their visits leave a positive impact. The program supports sustainable tourism development by connecting travelers to projects that improve the environment, boost local incomes, and enhance the destination for future visitors.
How Travelers Philanthropy Works
Participating tour operators are including visits to conservation and community development projects in their itineraries. Travelers can donate to and visit local communities that are working hard to protect their forests and rehabilitate degraded land. To do so, visitors can book a trip through one of our partnering tour operators and request that the itinerary includes a visit to one or both of the project sites. There are two ways to give – directly to the responsible non-profits that have been vetted through the fund or on the Global Giving website (coming soon!).
Visit some of the projects in Ethiopia:
- Plant a Tree in Konso's Gersale village
- Provide an Energy Saving Stove to a family in Ziway

UDC Touch
High Resolution Systems LLC has taken its popular UDC Touch, a Universal Device Controller with touchscreen interface, and expanded it into a line of dedicated products. High Resolution Systems will be showcasing the new product line in Booth 3389 at InfoComm, June 15-17 in Orlando.
"Customers have been asking for UDC Touch units dedicated to specific devices so we are introducing five new versions of UDC Touch, with customized displays and functionality, to meet their needs," says Drew Taylor, sales engineer at High Resolution Systems. "UDC Touch for Christie Vista Spyder, Christie Projection systems, Christie Projection with Spyder, Lightware and AJA Ki Pro extend touchscreen Universal Device Control to the most widely used devices on the market today."
UDC Spyder Touch is a dedicated touchscreen controller that communicates directly with the Christie Vista Spyder. It comes in 7- and 10-inch models, reads command keys and function keys from a connected Spyder and auto-populates the buttons on the touchscreen accordingly.
UDC Christie Projection Touch communicates directly with Christie digital projectors and can control up to 40 projectors as groups or offer individual control. It also comes in 7- or 10-inch models and reads lamp hours, input selected and more.
UDC Christie Projection with Spyder Touch delivers all the features of Spyder Touch and Christie Projection Touch combined in a single 7- or 10-inch touchscreen controller for users who typically team Christie digital projectors and the Spyder image processing system.
High Resolution Systems also offers the UDC Lightware Touch designed to control Lightware Matrix Routers of any size, from 8×8 to 80×80. It can define up to four separate routers and quickly switch control among different matrix routers. It comes in 7- and 10-inch models.
The UDC AJA Ki Pro Touch can control up to four Ki Pro tapeless video recorders and four KUMO compact SDI routers. The unit reads timecode from each Ki Pro and displays it individually.
UDC Spyder Touch, Christie Projection Touch and Lightware Touch come with a UDC Touch unit for an optional add-on with a UDC license.
In addition to this new product line, High Resolution Systems has announced new features for PowerPoint control for UDC-R or UDC-Remote Control. PowerPoint can be controlled from UDC using the UDC-R remote application on a computer utilized for a PowerPoint presentation.
"The most exciting new feature is PowerPoint Preview," says Taylor. "UDC-R sends a live preview of the computer running the PowerPoint back to UDC and displays this preview on a button. Like any other button, this preview button can be resized and moved anywhere within the controller interface. We have a customer using this feature to control PowerPoint from an iPad – he's able to set up buttons to control PowerPoint and get a live preview of his presentation and, of course, control the projectors and other AV equipment."

METRO VANCOUVER - The North Vancouver board of education is blaming the provincial government for a financial crisis in the 1990s that prompted the closure of a literacy program for learning disabled students and a human-rights complaint from the father of a dyslexic student.
The board, in its first full statement since the Supreme Court of Canada ruled last week in favour of Rick Moore, reviews the history behind the service cuts that reduced the help available to Jeff Moore when he was a primary student at Braemar elementary and struggling to read.
In its landmark ruling Friday, the country's top court said the district had discriminated against Jeff, now 25, on the basis of his disability.
The board's statement says it has always strived to provide educational standards that meet or exceed Education Ministry standards, but it was underfunded by $1.5 million a year in the early 1990s "and would not have been in crisis had these funds been included annually" in the block funding provided by government.
The trouble began in 1991 when B.C. school districts lost the ability to raise revenue through local taxation, the statement says. "The board, which had traditionally operated a number of extra programs paid for through local taxation, lost significant revenue by the change to block funding."
It had signed contracts with staff providing pay increases that were not recognized in the provincial block funding, and although it cut $17.5 million in spending over four years, it still had a significant debt.
Unable to balance its budget, the board was fired in 1996 and replaced with an official trustee, whose review determined that government had been underfunding the district. That led to a boost in dollars, enabling the board to maintain and develop new special education services and literacy centres, the statement says.
The Supreme Court ruling says the district, in dealing with its budgetary crisis in the 1990s, closed the Diagnostic Centre that served learning disabled students without considering the impact, and retained other non-essential services, such as its Outdoor School. It ordered the district to reimburse the Moores for the money they spent on private schools after they withdrew Jeff from his neighborhood school in Grade 3.
The board continues to insist that Jeff received significant individual instruction while he attended Braemar. But the court said those services were insufficient to provide him with meaningful access to an education.
Nevertheless, the board says Friday's judgment "provides clarity to the procedural process required prior to making changes to programs for students with disabilities." and it will work with the ministry, parents and employees to determine how to provide meaningful access to education for all children within its budget.


text: How does this work? I live in Seattle and I came across a 1973 enduro in a friends garage. He wants the bike out of his garage, however his buddy who is out of touch stored the bike there for the past 10 years doesn't have the key or the title. It sounds suspicious so I am not quite sure why his buddy has an enduro with no key or title. It's a 40 yr old enduro and needs restoration but it looks ok at first take. Anyhow I am interested in the bike, and does anyone have any experience with this kind of a salvage operation. Applying for a title from an unavailable previous owner. In WA, it requires a 3 year wait to see if the previous title owner shows up and wants the bike ,or not. Then I can apply for the title in my name. I am planning on just getting it running and not investing much into it until the 3 yr wait is over. If during the wait for the title the original owner comes knocking, well there it goes. I know it's not mine yet. So I don't want to restore or invest in something that can be legally taken back. But I am sure I am not the first person interested in such a project. Any words of wisdom are appreciated. Does this make any sense or am I out of my mind?? Thanks Vink

Anytime an audio person makes the decision to sell a vehicle the first question is always "have I recorded it sufficiently?"
In my case the answer was no. I'd recorded the bike before, but I had never really given it the full treatment, so I rolled it to work last week and set about recording it after hours but before the sun set.
This bike is a Honda VTX1300 with aftermarket Vance and Hines big shot exhaust. Honda's VTX line has a big, beefy transmission that clunks loudly when you drop into and out of first, and the big shot exhaust really does that distinctive chopper cruiser sound well.
Outside of those two main elements I didn't see much else on the the bike that I felt as though I could record cleanly and at speed. Tires were pretty out of the question, as was any noise that my feet made on the gear kicks. My plan was to find the best compromise of drafting placement and proximity to the transmission/exhaust for the onboard mics.
Drafting is a huge deal anytime you want to record a vehicle going faster than about 10mph. Drafting is the concept of placing mics within the shape and structure of a vehicle in a way that minimizes direct wind exposure when the vehicle is in motion. No amount of wind protection will stop an 80mph direct exposure to wind, but proper placement will allow for minimal wind protection to be sufficient even at that speed.
Motorcycles are a little trickier than cars and trucks when it comes to this because they have less surface area on which to mount things and the bodies don't divert nearly as much wind around them, so drafting options are more limited. This bike is pretty sporty and stripped down, which limited my drafting options further.
I decided to go with the following mic placements, wrapping each mic in a few layers of a cut up T-shirt:
- Line Audio CM3 behind the shock and near the exhaust
- Line Audio CM3 behind the engine block and aimed at the transmission
- Sanken COS11 lav behind the engine, under the seat for general engine bite
- Crown PZM 6D behind the license plate and near the exhaust.
Of all of them, I feel as though I could have walked away happy with just the combination of the PZM and the Lav (which I almost didn't put up). Both mics capture a ton of detail, and the PZM in particular felt like the gold standard of someone behind the vehicle moving at speed with a mic aimed right at the exhaust and no wind. That mic just had tons of low end, and got the quick transient nature of the cylinders just right.
The CM3s acted a little wooly and took on the most wind of all the mics, though they were certainly still acceptable and in the end gave me some interesting lower mid punch that the other two mics weren't picking up.
When they all came together I just about came out of my seat because I heard for the first time a representation of what it really does sound like to be piloting that bike.
Everything is there. The transmission kicks when I'm climbing the gears, the whine as the engine lets up, the fluffy kind of release in the exhaust, and all of the power of that bike feels like its there. The only thing missing is the wind, which is a pretty crazy experience given how intimate I am with the sound of this thing.
Its easily one of the best recordings I've ever made, and I feel like that PZM near the exhaust is going to be my new secret weapon when it comes to the exhaust portion of vehicle recordings. That thing took zero wind behind about 4 layers of cotton T-shirt even at 80mph on the highway over a 10 minute ride I did the same day. It was kind of magical.
I had my intern out helping me on the shoot, and he captured a perspective that I'm less familiar with: the exterior by. He was running a 416 in a blimp and was tracking me as I passed. These recording also came out great:
In all I got a full compliment of sounds from the favorite moto I've ever owned in about 3 hours of recording (including setup and teardown).
Things never seem to come together this well, so its important to sit back and appreciate it when they do. Feel free to use these recordings in whatever context you see fit.

To the EDN:
This is an open letter to the members of the 2010-11 Estherville Lincoln Central Midgettes Basketball Team.
In a word WOW!
You give refreshed meaning to the worn-out phrase "You go, girl!"
Congratulations on a thrilling season that exhibited your perseverance, outstanding athleticism, and that personal desire to represent your team, school and yourselves in perfect balance ON AND OFF THE COURT.
I watched most of you growing up in our little city and it's a very warm and fuzzy feeling when good things happen to our youth.
Everyone in Estherville and the areas making up the ELC School District are very proud of your success that landed the team in the spotlight at Wells Fargo Arena in the capital city. Just knowing you held top-rated Odebolt-Arthur/Battle Creek-Ida Grove to its lowest point total ever is spectacular and praiseworthy.
There's one more accomplishment to your credit that you may not fully realize.
It is your team that landed the name ELC on every sports page in every newspaper in the state last week. That doesn't happen very often. You most definitely were the attention-getter in every Iowa town and city! The fan map on the Des Moines Register website was very impressive as your fans and supporters gave a "shout out" in your honor.
Way to go your prowess will be honed under the direction of ELC G-BB Coach Brad Leonard and his staff. We look forward to hearing more about you in the coming years.
With that said, I want to offer special congratulations to graduating senior Ashley Weston. Also, accolades to Alyssa Johnson and Emily Kirchner who were selected to the 2A All-Tournament Team for going above and beyond.
Mary Ann Menendez
