In an interview on CNN's Starting Point, Romney Campaign adviser Bay Buchanan gave an "indictment" of the media for paying more attention to a statement by a candidate than the foreign policy of the sitting President.
"That's an indictment on the media, Soledad, that they would think that some little comment by the candidate is more important than a policy, an entire foreign policy of the President of the United States," said Buchanan. And CNN's Anderson Cooper proved that argument true as he led his show the previous night with tape of Romney and not a report that the U.S. may have had advance warning on a deadly terrorist attack in Libya.
"Also, is this not a story that one out of every six Americans is in poverty? Is that not a much bigger story that 47 million Americans have to take food stamps to take care of themselves and their families, and that's because of four years of Barack Obama and that he has no new, fresh ideas on how to put America back to work?" Buchanan asked in amazement.
Anchor Soledad O'Brien fanned the flames of Romney's latest media firestorm, his remark on 47 percent of citizens that was leaked by liberal magazine Mother Jones. "So he says he's not going to worry about 47 percent of the country. He says they're victims, they feel entitled, they don't have personal responsibility, they don't care for their lives," O'Brien said of Romney.
"How do you justify that if you want to be President of the entire country?" O'Brien asked. She then misquoted him as saying "47 percent of Americans pay no tax," when Romney said they paid no income tax. "That's not correct," O'Brien falsely declared.
She also included two other remarks by Romney that the media deemed controversial, and finished that up by asking if the campaign is falling apart.
"[H]ere's a headline from Bloomberg, "Today Mitt Romney lost the election." Politico says the thing is kind – the wheels are falling off. Is that correct? Is it just a hot mess in there?" O'Brien asked a frustrated Buchanan.
A transcript of the segment, which aired on September 18 on Starting Point at 7:04 a.m. EDT, is as follows:
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: So he says he's not going to worry about 47 percent of the country. He says they're victims, they feel entitled, they don't have personal responsibility, they don't care for their lives. That's roughly what he said in that clip there. How do you justify that if you want to be President of the entire country?
O'BRIEN: So that's Governor Romney late on Monday night sort of talking about these tapes as they were leaked, and, of course, he says 47 percent of Americans pay no tax. That's not correct.
BAY BUCHANAN, senior adviser, Romney campaign: It's no income tax, Soledad. That – you are correct. It's no income tax. They certainly pay payroll taxes.
O'BRIEN: And even those 47 percent, I think I have a chart of this, 47 percent of those people who pay no income tax, look at that chart there, 61 percent of those folks, they're paying payroll tax. Money is coming out of their paycheck.
BUCHANAN: Yes, they are.
O'BRIEN: So these aren't – it's being described as this sort of myth of the deadbeat nation. All these people on the –
BUCHANAN: No, no, no.
O'BRIEN: But they're paying money, right? And sales tax, of course.
O'BRIEN: Let me read to you a little bit of what David brooks wrote in his op-ed. He said "The people who receive the disproportionate share of government spending are not big government lovers. They're Republicans. They're senior citizens. They are white men with high school degrees. As Bill Galston of the Brookings Institution has noted, the people who have benefitted from the entitlement explosion are middle class workers more so than the dependent poor." So essentially, didn't Mitt Romney in these leaked tapes really bash his own voters? Those are the people who are voting for Mitt Romney.
BUCHANAN: Honey, I -- I think you're my soul I'm talking to now, my husband. (Laughing)
Sorry, Soledad.
O'BRIEN: That's okay. I like it.
BUCHANAN: I think what he's saying -- I'm trying to charm you here.
O'BRIEN: More.
BUCHANAN: You know, it's -- you know there's no question that Mitt Romney's plan is that he recognized more and more people are becoming dependent on government. And that is Barack Obama, his answer is more government, more government. Whereas –
O'BRIEN: I hear you, but my question to you is, aren't the people that he's bashing to these wealthy donors, these are Republicans. These are white men with high school diplomas. These very people are the people who were going to vote for him, and now you have a major problem.
BUCHANAN: We're not -- first of all, we're not bashing them. He was analyzing saying certain people are with Barack. Certain people we have. Certain people are in the middle. And that's who we're going to appeal to.
But the key here is that we recognize that America today deserves better than we have. You can't have 23 million unemployed or underemployed Americans, and say that we're doing well. And Barack Obama wants you to spend more. And we say – Mitt Romney said that's not the right way. The right way is to give these people who are out there, who are finding they need food stamps, an opportunity to, again, be able to work and produce and take care of themselves and family and have that –
O'BRIEN: But he's not talking – 47 percent of the nation is not on food stamps. 47 percent, so that's –
BUCHANAN: But 47 percent –
O'BRIEN: That 47 percent number is not people who are on food stamps as you see –
BUCHANAN: 47 million Americans are on food stamps. And that is a national disgrace. You have to agree, Soledad.
O'BRIEN: But the number he's talking about in these leaked tapes is half of the country. Half of the country is not on food stamps. He's talking about half of the country are people who are going to vote, potentially, the people he's talking about who are getting some kind of entitlements including Social Security, including Medicare, they are white people. They are people who are going -- men, high school degrees. You are essentially the campaign, meaning you, are essentially undermining the very people that you're trying to get. Let me ask you another question about this –
BUCHANAN: You know, Soledad, let me make a point. I do believe that the majority of Americans, without question, way more than 47 percent, whether they're dependent now on different aspects of government, they want to again see the kind of enormous opportunity out there for their children and for themselves, that they can really pick and choose the kind of jobs that they can take.
O'BRIEN: But he didn't say that. Yes, Bay! Yes! True! And I bet he wished he said that.
BUCHANAN: That is what he offers.
O'BRIEN: But he didn't offer it. I bet today he wishes he said what Bay just said, I wish I had said that at that dinner, because today the clips that we're talking about, he didn't say that. He said 47 percent of the nation are basically losers, they consider themselves to be –
BUCHANAN: No, he did not say they're losers. Don't put – he said they do not pay income tax. And that's a fact.
O'BRIEN: He said , they did not. He said they are victims, they believe the government has a responsibility for them. My job is not to worry about them. I'll never convince them to have personal responsibility, implied, they don't. I'll never convince them to care for their lives. Implied they don't. That's what he said.
BUCHANAN: No.
O'BRIEN: Let me ask you another question. I've got to move on. Because I want to get to something else. I want to play a clip about a joke that he made about being – If he were Latino he would have an easier path I guess. Let's play that.
(Video Clip)
ROMNEY: Had he been born of Mexican parents I'd have a better shot of winning this. But he was not.
ROMNEY: But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico, lived there for a number of years. And – I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.
(End Video Clip)
O'BRIEN: The irony is that earlier in the day he'd been talking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and he had then highlighted in his speech to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce the direly high unemployment figures for Latinos and then makes a joke well if I were Latino I'd actually be doing better than I'm doing. At the very least, bad idea to make that joke?
BUCHANAN: It's a joke. He's used it before. He did it on Univision where they were laughing and talking about, hey, you were born in, you know, your folks were born in Mexico, so couldn't you claim this? And so it's kind of a joke that's been going back and forth.
But the key is, if you look at Barack Obama, black Americans are extremely proud to have him as President of the United States, one of their own, if you like. And they vote overwhelmingly, 90-some percent. And so the idea is, hey, maybe I could get a higher percentage of Hispanics if I could claim that. And it's a joke. That's it. We all should be laughing and not be too concerned about this –
O'BRIEN: You know, there was a while back in the beginning of the campaign in the primary process when I did an interview with Mitt Romney, and we went back and forth in his interview, he had just won the Florida primary, so it was about hey, you won, congratulations. Let's talk a little bit about the strategy ahead. And then he said this. I'm going to run the chunk of the interview that I did with him, because it now seems to be coming back around. Let's play that.
(Video Clip)
ROMNEY: I'm not concerned about the very poor, we have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich, they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling, and I'll continue to take that message across the nation.
(End Video Clip)
O'BRIEN: All right, I know I said last question, but I've got to ask you, you just said "I'm not concerned about the very poor because they have a safety net." And I think there are lots of very poor Americans who are struggling, who would say, that sounds odd. Can you explain that?
ROMNEY: Well, you had to finish the sentence, Soledad. I said I'm not concerned about the very poor that have a safety net, but if it has holes in it, I will repair them.
O'BRIEN: Got it, okay.
ROMNEY: The challenge right now, we will hear from the Democrat party, the plight of the poor, and there's no question, it's not good being poor. And we have a safety net to help those that are very poor. But my campaign is focused on middle-income Americans. My campaign, you can choose where to focus. You can focus on the rich. That's not my focus. You can focus on the very poor. That's not my focus.
(End Video Clip)
O'BRIEN: I think there are people who would say, yeah, and I guess that's true. You know, he kind of went later and backed away from those comments. But I think people hearing these clips from inside this private dinner, with very wealthy donors, $50,000 a plate to attend this, say actually, what he said there was the truth was what he was thinking, that he doesn't care about the very poor.
BUCHANAN: Again, he didn't say he didn't care, Soledad. Let's –
O'BRIEN: He clearly said he didn't care.
BUCHANAN: There's a safety net out there for the poor. And he said if there's any holes in it, well let's make certain that we fill those holes because we have to have a safety net, a government does. And he supports that.
But right now what's happening in America is we're losing our middle class. And so his campaign is to give a plan, to show Americans what he will do as President to provide those opportunities, to make certain the private sector becomes invigorated, that that energy is started again, and that's where the American spirit lies.
O'BRIEN: What he said was half the country sees themselves as victims and there's nothing I can do about those.
BUCHANAN: No, what he – it wasn't inarticulate I meant – he said 47 percent. That's a fact. That comes out of a report, 47 percent of Americans do not pay income taxes.
O'BRIEN: No, no, no, no. What he said – there's two different clips, okay? So he said that, too. But he said this, "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the President no matter what, who believe they are victims." You're – another section he was sort of conflating the idea that 47 percent of people do not pay taxes, and you could argue he's speaking specifically about income tax, even though they're paying payroll tax, and so it's really 18 percent.
But 47 percent of people, he says, they're victims and they think they're entitled. And obviously, today, everybody in the campaign is thinking that's a big mistake. Listen, there's a sense, you saw the Politico article I'm sure, that the campaign is in big trouble. Bloomberg writes –
BUCHANAN: Oh my gosh.
O'BRIEN: – here's a headline from Bloomberg, "Today Mitt Romney lost the election." Politico says the thing is kind – the wheels are falling off. Is that correct? Is it just a hot mess in there?
BUCHANAN: You know, Soledad, I find it very humorous. We've just spent a week – everybody said Romney has had a rough week. And certainly this is a bump in the road. But we, but it's the other campaign. Is anybody looking at the campaign of Barack Obama? He has spent the last week with America watching as his foreign policy is of appeasement and apologies, has disintegrated. We have problems around this world in all the Muslim countries where people, our anti-American sentiment is unbelievable. And that's a good week for the President?
O'BRIEN: But aren't you kind of answering your own question when you say looking at the campaign of Barack Obama. No, because look at the headlines. You're right. You're drawing focus from your own campaign by these headlines.
BUCHANAN: That's an indictment on the media, Soledad, that they would think that some little comment by the candidate is more important than a policy, an entire foreign policy of the President of the United States. Also, is this not a story that one out of every six Americans is in poverty? Is that not a much bigger story that 47 million Americans have to take food stamps to take care of themselves and their families, and that's because of four years of Barack Obama and that he has no new, fresh ideas on how to put America back to work? That's what Mitt Romney is all about. That's what our campaign is about. That seems to be a whole lot more important than some comment that he made – inarticulately stated about which voters are Barack Obama's –
O'BRIEN: I appreciate your spin on that. But I think "inarticulately stated" is the least of the problems they're facing.

This video was produced by students in Sam Bringardner, Allison Scheetz, and Stacia Landon, students in the Spring 2009 Advanced Television Production Class as part of a Service Learning Project.
We are pleased that you will be participating in Service Learning this semester. One of our Programs primary concerns is student safety. You likely listened to the Public Safety presentation at freshmen orientation, but we would also like to you to consider the following tips specific to your service learning experience.
Due to logistical constraints, the Service Learning Program is unable to provide transportation to or from Service Learning sites.
There are a variety of ways students may choose to reach their Service Learning sites. Many facilities are within walking distance of the Marquette University campus, and most other locations are easily accessible by bus. Students serving at agencies that are further from campus may choose to drive their own vehicles or carpool with other students. Taxi and ride sharing are other modes of transportation to get to and from your service learning site. Lyft, Uber, and Zip Car are some of the most popular forms of ride sharing. Most are resonably priced and offer safe rides to and from campus. Regardless of how you get to and from your Service Learning site, certain safety precautions should be considered, especially when traveling alone, at night, or to unfamiliar areas.
When walking to and from a Service Learning site, always walk with a buddy. Walk on main paths in well-lit areas. Never take short cuts or walk through alleys. Do not carry valuables, and if you do, keep them hidden from sight.
Lately the city and county of Milwaukee have increased measures to ensure greater bus safety. The bus system continues to be the safest and most efficient mode of transportation.
When riding the bus, know your bus routes. Review the bus route and schedule before you board the bus. With continued construction and service changes, it is important to check the MCTS Web site regularly.
Always feel comfortable to confirm the bus route with the bus driver when you board the bus.
For added security, sit near the bus driver. Always be alert do not sleep and limit the use of headphones and cell phones.
When driving to Service Learning sites, know your route and confirm the address with the site coordinator beforehand. The site coordinator may also provide additional tips for traveling to their facility, as well as information regarding parking.
Always park in safe, well-lit areas. Hide any valuables out of sight, or lock in the trunk. Double check to make sure car windows are closed and doors are locked.
First and foremost, begin by attending your sites orientation session. Typically, orientation is required before you can conduct service at the site. During these sessions you will review specific safety and operational protocols, meet agency staff, and receive a tour.
Each Service Learning site will have specific safety precautions to adhere to; however, generally it is ideal to:
Most Service Learning sites fall outside of Public Safetys normal service and patrol areas, thereby making it even more important that you consider and adhere to the crime prevention measures outlined in the safety video above.
If you are interested, know that the Department of Public Safety also hosts special self-defense and student safety workshops. Check the DPS Web site for a listing up upcoming workshop dates.
Rarely have students participating in Service Learning ever reported safety concerns, but in the event you witness or are a victim of any harassment or crime while participating in service learning, promptly report this to Public Safety and the Service Learning Program.

10 Celebrities Convicted of Tax Evasion
10 Celebrities Convicted of Tax Evasion
Think tax evasion is a poor's man's game? Think again. Convictions range from middle class Joes all the way up to top celebrities like Nicolas Cage, Annie Leibovitz and Marc Anthony. Here's a look at 10 high-profile celebrity tax evasion cases and the lessons they offer.
1. Martha Stewart: She may be a home and garden guru, but she's also a convicted tax evader. Before doing jail time for insider trading, Stewart was forced to pay $220,000 in back taxes and penalties to the State of New York, learning the hard way that East Hampton mansions also generate taxes. Her claim that she hardly spent time there didn't reduce her burden, or appease the state of New York.
2. Wesley Snipes: You know him as Blade, but the IRS knows him as a tax evader that used various means to hide a lofty income. Snipes was found guilty on three counts of failing to file a federal income tax return, owing the government $17 million in back taxes plus penalties and interest. His attempt to pay off a portion of what he owed during his trial to avoid the slammer, failed and in 2008, Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison. He began serving his sentence in December 2010.
3. Willie Nelson: After seizing most of his assets in 1990, the federal government forced Willie to pay over $16 million in back taxes and fines for his involvement with a bogus tax shelter, offering new meaning to the singer's top-ten hit from 1975, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." Offering a note of redemption for the famous crooner, it was later discovered that Price Waterhouse had not paid Nelson's taxes for years and invested the funds instead.
4. Nicolas Cage: Cage inspired humor in "Raising Arizona" and sobriety in "Leaving Las Vegas," but only irony when the star of "National Treasure" contributed to the national debt to the tune of approximately $6 million, according to the IRS' 2009 charge. Accusing his ex-manager and accountant of making poor investment choices in risky real estate and failing to pay his taxes, Cage set out to make good with the IRS, but still paid considerable fines on the taxes. Be careful whom you trust with tax advice.
5. Marc Anthony: He may be the husband of superstar Jennifer Lopez, but fame didn't remove his obligation to pay taxes. In 2007, the IRS served Anthony with $2.5 million in back tax bills. Then in 2010, he received two additional bills totaling over $3 million for unpaid taxes on real estate. Marc Anthony blames management, but few empathize after the IRS claimed numerous years of zero tax payments.
6. Annie Leibovitz: It was December 8, 1980 when celeb portrait photographer Leibovitz captured John Lennon and Yoko Ono for the cover of Rolling Stone. Since then, her notoriety rocketed almost as fast as her spending. After years of extravagance and poor financial management, it seems paying taxes was just one expense she couldn't afford. Picture this: in 2009 Leibovitz owed $2.1 million in unpaid taxes for 2004-2007 and was forced to pledge the copyright to every photograph she has ever taken, or ever will, to get the loan she needed to pay her debts.
7. Darryl Strawberry: Mets or Yankees? Strawberry led them both to World Series titles, but like Pete Rose, he stumbled when it came to claiming taxable income. Both can likely recite their stats for every season played, but neither was very good at recalling income from autograph and memorabilia shows. After years of signing away without paying taxes, both received tax evasion convictions. The lesson? If you earn money from it, so should Uncle Sam.
8. Boris Becker: Christened "Boom-Boom" thanks to an impressive serve, the 90s tennis star impressed men and women alike with his talent, but the German tax authority? Not so much. Claiming to be living in the tax haven of Monaco from 1991 to1993, Becker was actually at home in Munich with his wife and kids. When the final ball dropped, Becker paid approximately $3 million in back taxes and interest on earnings from prize money, endorsements and appearance fees.
9. "Survivor" Richard Hatch: He survived the first season of Survivor, winning $1 million. But when it came time to paying his taxes, he stayed on the island and voted CBS off, claiming the network agreed to pay his taxes. In 2006, Hatch was found guilty of tax evasion and served part of a six-year prison sentence as a result. Then in March 2011, he returned for his third prison term for failing to file amended returns. Celebrity tax lesson: Don't "forget" to pay taxes on your income…especially before 51 million television viewers.
10. Heidi Fleiss: Known as the "Hollywood madam," Heidi Fleiss was sentenced in 1997 on tax evasion charges in connection with her high-profile prostitution ring. She served part of her seven-year sentence in prison and a halfway house. Her excuse? Apparently it's a bit challenging to pay legal taxes on illegal earnings.
While some celebrities continue to engage in various attempts to avoid paying taxes, from filing false returns to hiding money overseas, regardless of the method or fame of the individual, the government can force those guilty of tax fraud to pay back taxes and penalties, and serve time in confinement—a costly lesson for an avoidable mistake.

Extended Greek Mod
This mod aims to give the Greek factions the same sort of depth that the Roman factions have in vanilla RTW, to improve historical accuracy, and to improve gameplay. Many new units have been added to the Greek factions, and other factions, along with new buildings, character traits, night battles, named legions, loyalty, and much more. Combat with phalanx based armies has also been made much more challenging. I have tried to stay close to the "look and feel" of vanilla (unmodified) Rome - Total War, so this mod should appeal to people who like vanilla RTW, but who want to play a more developed version of the Greek factions.
You can take a look at the readme here.
You can download the the mod here.
Designed to work with RTW 1.5, RTW:BI 1.6, or Alexander 1.9. It uses the -mod switch so it does not make any changes to your original game files.

Romney Wins Super Tuesday. Sort of.
The big question after Super Tuesday is not who won – it was, well, closer than many had guessed – but why Mitt Romney can't put a very weak field away.
There are two things you can probably count on now. That Romney will eventually be the GOP nominee. And that Romney won't get the nomination, however, without spending a lot of capital — the money kind of capital and the political kind.
When Romney won in Michigan last week, everyone said it was a case of winning ugly. Well, post-Ohio – which turned out to be as close as the width of an aspirin stuck between Foster Freiss' knees – it's still ugly. Romney can't get into general election form because he is still being pulled to the right by Santorum. And the longer it takes him to get to the general election, the weaker Romney looks.
Romney outspent Santorum more than five to one on Super Tuesday, and still it took nearly all night before he could claim Ohio, the night's big prize. Santorum, who claims to be the blue-collar candidate, can't win the blue-collar states, which would seem to be a problem for him. And if you're the kind of person who insists on looking at the math, there's an even bigger problem. It's hard to see how any of it adds up for delegate-shy Santorum.
But he's not dead. He is, as Miracle Max would say, only mostly dead. And when you have your Super PAC, that means you're still alive. Ask the Newtster.
Romney leaves Super Tuesday with very little momentum. The next states in play are Kansas and Mississippi and Alabama and Hawaii. Newt Gingrich has a great chance in the southern states. He's now calling himself the tortoise — leaving us to wonder if that means the walrus is Paul — but he's a tortoise that may be native only to the South.
Santorum will also play in those states. If slow-moving Romney – no hare himself – starts losing more states to either or both, he will look only weaker.
Early in the day, Barack Obama stole the spotlight from the Republicans with a Super Tuesday news conference — some coincidence, huh? – in which he got mostly questions on foreign policy. When questions start to move away from the economy, that's all Obama could ask for. And in what may be a real upset, Obama is the one who looks like a grownup in foreign affairs. He called out the Republican candidates for talking tough on Iran without explaining to Americans what the costs of going to war in Iran would be. He knocked them for their "casualness" about war.
It did not turn out, of course, to be a casual evening for anyone. Romney won. He won the most states and easily won the most delegates. So why did it seem that instead of winning, he had just barely survived?

an overviewMygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper gives an overview over how far transition has proceeded and what is still lacking in the process. The barriers for transition are identified. This includes an analysis of the different factors behind the steep fall in production in the first years of transition. It is shown that countries implementing a tough stabilization and a comprehensive and consequent liberalization have been most successful in the process. A fast and comprehensive privatization, on the other hand, has not been sufficient for the necessary restructuring of enterprises. Decisive for success in transition has been transformation of the state as a crucial part of the development of new market institutions implementing well functioning, clear and stable rules of the game for private enterprises. The institutional development has been important for the attractiveness of foreign investments and these FDI have been important for restructuring enterprises as part of a positive circle for the transition process.

A simple model for analysis of the business environmentMygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Societies all over the world are complex systems of human beings interacting with each other for making a living. Understanding these societies is essential for international business whatever the company interacts through foreign trade, outsourcing production or foreign direct investments - FDI. Choice of location makes it necessary to do an analysis of relevant foreign societies. The existing models for these analyses are often too simplified, static and without enough emphasis on key determinants for these societies – their institutions. The quality of institutions is an import part of the explanation for the level of development in different countries (WB 2002, IMF 2005, WEF 2006); but there is no simple link between institutions and economic performance (Rodrik 2004).

wage earner or employee owner?Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper investigates the determinants behind the choice between a wage earner position versus employee ownership. These determinants can be found both at the individual level: desire for selfgovernance, risk aversion, human capital, wealth, mobility; company level: size, complexity, heterogeneity of labor, capital intensity, human capital; and society level: labor market dynamics, social security, role of unions and specific institutional rules for employee ownership. The choice is determined by the possibility for wage-earners to adjust working conditions by exit versus the possibilities and costs for employee to use voice as owners of their company. It is predicted that employee ownership will be found in organizations which are small, homogenous, simple in structure, and with high emphasis on specific human capital. The opportunities of globalization with complex organizations crossing borders/cultures will be more difficult to implement in employee owned companies. Specific external institutions (tax incentives, company laws, privatization opportunities) and innovative internal institutions may change the balance in favor of employee ownership. The predictions are not tested, but illustrated by examples especially from recent evidence from Eastern Europe. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7089

Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The Baltic countries have been through a period of 15 years with fast changes in ownership and corporate governance structures. The privatization processes have been quite different in the three countries, but in the dynamics after privatization we see an increasing level of similarity in the adjustment of the ownership structure. We have followed the changes quite closely over the years both in quantitative research and in case studies. We focus on the most important institutions for corporate governance in legislation and enforcement, bankruptcy, company law, minority shareholder protection as well as the development of the banking system and stock exchanges. The paper analyses the main trends in the development and show how all the three Baltic economies are heading toward a typical Continental European system of corporate governance based on quite concentrated blockholder ownership.

a role in the Baltic economies?Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper gives an overview over some theory and empirical evidence on employee ownership and other forms of employee financial participation and answers the following questions: What is employee ownership and what is the relation to other forms of financial participation? Why is employee ownership widespread in some developed market economies like US and in Italy, France and Spain, while it has a quite rare occurrence in the Scandinavian countries? What are the conditions favouring and what are the barriers for employee ownership? What are the advantages and drawbacks for employee owned companies? The paper also gives a summary of the experience in the Baltics – with reference to the following three country articles – and gives finally some perspectives for the future.

Abstract: In countries like Italy, France, Spain and US enterprises where a broad group of the employees have controlling ownership have been quite widespread, while the Scandinavian countries have had few employee owned enterprises. In many countries in Eastern Europe the recent privatization process resulted in a strong wave of employee ownership, however, a wave that soon lost its momentum. The transition from plan to market has been a sort of experiment for analyzing the impact of institutional development. The spread of employee ownership is closely related to the change in both formal and informal institutions. The purpose of this article is to answer the following research questions: Why did employee ownership get so widespread in some countries Eastern Europe? Why did this ownership change relatively fast to other types of ownership? Was the development of employee ownership premature in relation to the development of the East European societies?

Abstract: Presently, legal regulation of participation of employees – financial participation as well as participation in decision-making – is not well developed in Estonia. On the one hand, it is due to the fact that no tradition of employee participation could have been formed after Estonia became independent because different, contrary political aims, e.g. development of the free-market economy and promotion of national elites, were given priority. Although employee ownership emerged during the early stage of privatization, it was a temporary phenomenon. Earlier experience with employee participation in decision-making was considered to be a relict from the time under Soviet rule and, therefore, to be discredited and not worth following. On the other hand, the solution of current employment and social problems is not associated with a higher level of participation of employees. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7112

Abstract: This report outlines main trends in employees' financial participation in Latvia including historical, socioeconomic and legal background. A special emphasis is placed on privatization during the transition period which shaped an environment for employees' financial participation and influenced the current state of employee share ownership and profit-sharing. Attitudes of social partners and the government will be addressed. The report will show why the transition process lead to a low level of employees' financial participation and the indifference and ignorance of policy makers concerning the development of financial participation.

Abstract: Participation of employees in decision-making in Lithuanian companies has its roots in trade union movement as well as in the practice of managing companies under Soviet rule. After Lithuania regained independence, employee ownership was used to facilitate privatization. A notable success was establishment of a number of employee-owned companies that were formerly state-owned enterprises during the first stage of privatization. However, no stronger tradition of employee participation has evolved. Current legal regulation of participation of employees - financial participation, as well as participation in decision-making - is not well developed and does not provide for stronger incentives. The solution of current employment and social problems by the Government, ruling parties as well as social partners is not associated with a higher level of participation of employees. Financial participation is viewed mainly as a way of employee motivation as initiated by managers and current owners of companies. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7110

Insights from a New SurveyMeyer, Klaus E.; Ionascu, Delia; Kulawczuk, Przemyslaw; Szczesniak, Anna; Antal-Mokos, Zoltán; Tóth, Krisztina; Darskuvenie, Valdone (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has been maturing as the region prepared to join the European Union (EU). Since the beginning of transition the pattern of FDI has evolved, reflecting new business strategies pursued in anticipation of EU membership. Based on first results from a questionnaire survey conducted in 2003 in Hungary, Lithuania and Poland, we portray the recent patterns and developments in foreign investment, the motives for investment, and managers' assessment of the local business environment. Some questions have been replicated from a study conducted in the emerging economies of Egypt, India, South Africa, and Vietnam, which allows us to benchmark FDI patterns in CEE against other emerging economies in different parts of the world. We find that find fewer changes over the period of the 1990s then we expected, but some interesting differences across the three countries in our study, and between CEE and other emerging economies.

Abstract: Over the last thirty years, Vietnam evolved from "war after war" to an emerging economy with an attractive foreign investment policy and commitment to a liberalized economy. Although the GDP per capita is still considerably lower than in the Asian Tiger economies, and the institutional framework still reflects inheritances from the central plan system, Vietnam today has a vibrant economy with small businesses springing up at every street corner. Foreign investors have been flogging to Vietnam since the early 1990s, with a new peak of FDI inflow in 2004. This paper reviews the Vietnamese economy, society, culture, and policies towards foreign investment to inform those considering to invest in Vietnam, and to provide some practical advice.

A comparison of Russia and SloveniaMygind, Niels; Demina, Natalia; Gregoric, Aleksandra; Kapelyushnikov, Rostislav (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Ownership is determined by firm specific factors and the environment. Firms change over their life-cycle. The governance cycle – here defined as changes in identity of the dominant owner and own-ership concentration - is marked by key phases including start-up, growth, and possibly a restructur-ing or exit stage. During transition the cycle reflects: privatization often with a high proportion of employee ownership like in Russia and in Slovenia; strong pressures for restructuring and owner-ship changes; limited possibility for external finance because of embryonic development of the fi-nancial system. To provide simple hypothesis tests, we use Russian enterprise data for 1995-2003 and Slovenian data covering 1998-2003. In spite of differences in institutional development, con-cerning privatization and development of corporate governance institutions, we find that govern-ance cycles are broadly similar in the two countries. Employee ownership is rapidly fading, but while change to manager and non-financial domestic outsider ownership is typical for Russia, man-ager ownership is not widespread in Slovenia. Instead change to financial outsiders in the form of Privatization Investment Funds is frequent. Foreign ownership, which is rare especially in Russia, is quite stable. The ownership diversification to employees and diversified external owners during privatization did not fit well to the low development of institutions. As expected we observe in both countries a subsequent concentration of ownership on managers, external domestic and foreign owners.

Abstract: The concept of 'distance' has been used by international business scholars to explain variations in international business strategies and operations across countries. The more distant a host country is from the organizational centre of a multinational enterprise (MNE), the more it has to manage cultural, regulatory and cognitive differences, and to develop appropriate entry strategies, organizational forms, and internal procedures to accommodate these differences. Scholarly research has focused on the concept of psychic distance, which has been narrowed down in empirical work to indices based on Hofstede's work on culture. However, these measures capture only very partially the dimensions of distance of concern to international business. In this paper, we show how the broader theoretical concept of institutional distance, which incorporates normative, regulatory and cognitive aspects, affects entry strategies. Specifically, our theoretical arguments suggest that the impact of distance varies with different aspects of the concept of institutional distance, and that this impact interacts with both the investor's experience and with the relative importance of the pertinent operation for the investing MNE. Using a unique dataset of foreign direct investment in emerging economies that incorporates multi-host as well as multi-home countries, we find empirical support for our propositions, and provide an explanation for apparently inconsistent results in the previous literature.

Meyer, Klaus; Tran, Yen Thi Thu (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are expanding their global reach, carrying their products and brands to ever more remote corners of the world. They encounter business environments that vary not only from their country of origin, but also vary greatly amongst each other. Thus foreign investors have to adapt their strategies, most notably their marketing and acquisition strategies, to the local context. In this paper, we outline why globalisation drives MNEs into emerging economies, and we provide conceptual frameworks that may aid investors to adapt their strategies to emerging economy contexts. MNEs have to develop a portfolio of local and/or global brands that matches their competences with local needs. If they aim for market leadership they may pursue a multi-tier strategy, but this needs to be supported by an appropriate foundation of global and local resources. This strategy in particular requires the acquisition of complementary local resources controlled by local firms. However, acquisitions in emerging economies are inhibited by institutional obstacles and weak local firms. Thus, foreign investors may pursue staged, multiple, indirect, or Brownfield acquisitions to build their projected operation. We illustrate our proposed strategies by analysing how one multination enterprise - Carlsberg Breweries - has developed its operations in three very different emerging economies: Poland, Lithuania and Vietnam.

The Emergence of Stakeholder CapitalismMeyer, Klaus E. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: An unintended outcome of transition is the emergence of new forms of governance. Stakeholders other than shareholders influence corporate management to a higher degree than in mature market economies. Employees gained influence through ownership stakes or work councils, while elsewhere investment funds or governmental authorities retain influence via equity stakes or otherwise. This paper reviews privatisation and the newly created forms of private ownership to document the evolution of stakeholder capitalism and to discuss the opportunities and dangers that it may create for businesses in the region.

Abstract: The 1990s have been a period of extraordinary politics in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). This chapter discusses how the transition from state to market has created bureaucratic barriers to entry, but also windows of opportunity for foreign direct investment (FDI). The high costs and high investment risks associated with FDI in CEE are a reflection the institutional development. Thus, inflows of FDI have been largest in those countries that made most progress in establishing a market-oriented institutional framework. After outlining trends of institutional change and their impact on FDI, this chapter discusses how aspects of the institutional framework and FDI policy affect diverse types of investment projects. Acquisition and Greenfield investors are concerned with different aspects of government policy: privatization and regulatory policies for acquirers and investment incentives, regional policy and special economic zones for Greenfield investors. The shifting policy priorities have thus changed the types of projects undertaken by foreign investors in the region. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7106

Jerome, Idaho dairy processor to ensure wastewater discharges meet federal standards
Release Date: 05/12/2014
Contact Information: Hanady Kader, EPA Public Affairs, 206-553-0454, firstname.lastname@example.com
(Seattle—May 12, 2014) Idaho Milk Products, Inc., located in Jerome, Idaho, has agreed to resolve Clean Water Act violations related to the discharge of wastewater that did not meet federal standards, according to a settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The wastewater, which goes into the city's sewer system, routinely failed to meet the federal water quality limit for acidity (pH). The facility has taken steps to ensure future discharges meet standards and agreed to pay a $170,000 penalty. The company processes dairy products.
"Municipal water systems are designed for a specific type and amount of wastewater," said Ed Kowalski, Enforcement Director for EPA's Pacific Northwest Regional Office. "Discharges from industrial facilities that exceed standards can impact water quality in downstream waterways and jeopardize the integrity of the treatment facility."
Industrial wastewater discharges must meet federal standards for pH and temperature under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Discharges must also comply with conditions set by the waste treatment facility.
Low pH wastewater is corrosive and can compromise the integrity of the wastewater collection system pipes, leading to potential leakage. In addition, low and high pH can negatively affect bacteria and micro-organisms that break down sewage.
The wastewater is treated at the City of Jerome's wastewater treatment plant. From March 2009 to July 2012, EPA found that Idaho Milk Products exceeded the pH limit 138 times.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants are some of the largest volume dischargers of wastewater to surface waters in the U.S. Industrial facilities that discharge to municipal plants must comply with regulations to minimize difficulties the plants may face in complying with their own discharge limits.
"Look at it this way," said Kowalski. "A city is processing wastewater from residential homes, retail businesses and sometimes from industrial processing operations. Industrial facilities can add a large volume of waste to the system. Companies must ensure their wastewater does not compromise the city treatment plant."

You are missed as a symbol of the struggle for justice, and for the value of each individual, the value of especially those people who seem to have been forgotten.
You are missed in this world. Vik, I miss you in my world. I miss you as my best friend, as the one who was always there in the last year, in good and bad times. You once told me I should smile, because my smile would light you. But Vik, it was you who made me laugh. Not only by your great sense of humor, but through your unique way to make the world around you a little brighter, just by being there. Everybody who knew you knows that, even those who met you even just once.
You cast a spell on people, through your charisma, through your personality, through your warmth. The world has become a bit darker without you, and it is also my own little world that has become a bit darker through your absence.
And Gaza of course, which I can't imagine without you, probably no one here can imagine it without you yet. Your Arabic vocabulary of: Mushkile? Leeesh? Mish Mushkile! Yallah! was completely enough to brighten up the people around you, and to make everyone in Gaza your rafiq and your rafiqa.
And people in Gaza have loved you and appreciated you, you knew that and you would never have thought anything else. We were all touched and overwhelmed by the grief and sympathy your death has caused. A compassion that has helped all of us to overcome our initial shock, I want to heartily thank you all for that.
Adie, my friend and ISM colleague once said, being as ISM in Gaza doesn't only mean to support the people here, but to be a bit of a Palestinian yourself, and to join carrying the burden for a little way. To not only feel with the pain of others, but to feel for yourself what it means to lose a loved one. Because being Palestinian means losing people you love.
Whoever is behind this senseless, cruel murder, he reached exactly the opposite of what he intended. Vik, through your death, we all have become Palestinians. We are more determined than ever. We will go on, and we will continue to fight, in the spirit of your humanity and with the strength and steadfastness of the Palestinians.
Not only because you would have wanted us to, but because we couldn't do anything else. Not the people out there that you have inspired and woken up, and not us here, being united in the same dream, in the same goal for which we fight: a free Gaza, a free Palestine.
I remember one morning in autumn. The day before had been a black day for Gaza, and so we were all together the whole night, sitting in the ISM office and writing. Vik and I left at dawn. And just as we had walked a few steps, it started to rain. The first rain of the year. And we stood in the middle of the road, feeling the rain pouring down upon us, and laughed, and suddenly it was as if the whole sadness of the last hours was washed away. As if it was a new beginning, in which the world was pure and innocent and full of hope.
I will not grieve because I know that where you went, there was such a morning waiting for you. I will not grieve, in gratitude of having gotten to know you. Because people like you show us that also for our humanity there could be such a morning waiting for us."
River to Sea Uprooted Palestinian

Video transcript
We cut through different scenes all shot from the perspective of a moving car. Sometimes this is from the passenger window, sometimes its through the front windscreen or driver's side window. We never see the driver, but get a clear sense that what we are seeing is the driver's point of view. Emotive but sparse music plays.
We cruise down a leafy suburban street. We see a dad loading the final suitcase into the back of the fully packed family wagon. Mum carries one more bag out of the house. The kids chase each other around the car, excited to get begin their holiday.
We then cut to another driveway in another suburb where a man in a four-wheel drive car being hitched to a caravan with a woman giving her husband instructions and directions.
We then cut to a close up shot of a 30 something woman looking on by.
We cruise along a busy freeway. The driver notices a van with surfboards attached to the roof, obviously off on sporting adventure.
We drive past the beach with families and kids having fun on the sand.
Cut to a scene with teenagers ready to go to a pool party have fun with water balloons and water guns.
We drive past a park on a beautiful summer day. A group of good mates are gathered around a BBQ and picnic, and they share a laugh and toss a Frisbee.
Cut to a shot driving down another residential street. We catch up to a couple of kids walking excitedly down the footpath in their bathers and floaties. Somewhere in the background, we can hear a pool party (with lots of splashing) taking place.
As the sun starts to hang lower in the sky, we drive along, looking out to the ocean - a dad races his two boys along the footpath towards a parked ice cream van with a queue of kids waiting to be served.
Cut to scenes of Christmas decorations, views of the city and a car towing a boat.
Cruising through the inner city at night, we see celebratory fireworks light up in the rearview mirror and then cut to a scene of a house with Christmas lights up.
Finally, we see the flash of blue and red lights as we pull up to a random breath test unit. For the first time, we reveal the driver, who is a Victorian Police officer. She says hello to a couple of the other officers, who are administering a random breath test.
VO: This year, more police than ever are working the holidays to keep us safe during ours.
Cut to our officer finishing up a breath test on a few 20-something kids. She waves them through and they drive off, clearly on their way somewhere fun.
VO: Let's all play our part in keeping our roads safe.
Our officer watches longingly for a moment as they drive off, but then continues working.
Fade up: TAC, Towards Zero and Victoria Police logos.
End of the transcript
Holiday road safety, Victoria Police
Both the TAC and Victoria Police have one goal the busy holiday times – getting people safely to their friends and family when using the road.
This long weekend Victoria Police are again joining us in making sure everyone gets to their holiday destination safely. There will be more police on the roads who are giving up time spent with their families and friends to make sure we all can spend time with ours.
Holidays are a high-risk time on Victoria's roads as more people are heading away for a short break or to visit family or friends. There are also more people out riding motorbikes, cycling or walking so we all need to be aware of what is going on around us, slow down, don't drink and drive and make sure we aren't driving when tired.
High risk of crash over holidays
Statistics show the risk of crashing increases for people as they travel longer distances to unfamiliar areas, experiencing fatigue and speeding. Make sure you take a break at one of the SES Pitstops around the state and enjoy some fun roadside activities.
Follow these links for more information on Statistics:
- Read more information on holiday road statistics here on the Australian New Zealand Policing Advisory website.
- Visit our road safety statistics page here on the TAC webiste.
- Visit the Australian Transport Safety Bureau website.
Both the TAC and Victoria Police have joined forces to help keep us safer during this time as we work towards our Towards Zero vision.
Tips for staying safe on our roads over busy holiday times
- Plan ahead: Plan how you are you're getting to and from your destination. In particular, map out the route you want to take ahead of time if you're unfamiliar with the area you're driving through.
- Give yourself plenty of time to get there and factor in rest stops.
- Take regular stops if you're driving for more than two hours.
- Stay within speed limits.
- Drive to conditions of the road and the weather.
- Make sure you're focused on the driving and not distracted by phones or others in the car.
- If you're drinking, don't drive. Organise a designated driver, a pre-booked taxi or having a friend or family member pick you up.
Make sure you take a break at the many Driver Reviver sites throughout Victoria this weekend, again run by SES volunteers.
With drowsy driving estimated to be a factor in one in five crashes, the TAC is supporting efforts by SES and Victoria Police to keep Victorians safe this weekend.
What you will find at the Driver Reviver Pitstops
- Free barista coffee
- Free bottled water
- Sausage sizzle - to raise money for the SES
- Fun photo booth area - take away a polaroid
- Giveaways including kids puzzles, eye masks and neck pillows
- Giant Jenga game
With many people heading to the snow for Queen's Birthday weekend, there will be an extra focus on the Hume Freeway stop at Balmattum (near Euroa), on both sides of the road.

She was married to Fred Apel. Having spent a week scouring the census for more accurate information very little has come up.
Family story has her married at Crystal Lake, Ill. 1864 . She had two girls: Minnie and Francis Elizabeth.
Minnie was born 9 Dec. 1866, Chicago, ILL area.

Cherry Blossom Time in Japan: The Complete Works
As we know Lee is interested in making books. He has published around 30 titles since 1970. In the past six years he has been averaging at least two a year. It has been a little hard on the wallet to keep up with him. Seems like in the past if Lee published a book it would wind up on my shelf, but in the past years I've been more selective. Several have not made it. I never bought Stems or Staglieno or Kitaj or Apples and Olives or the book of square self portraits published by the Fraenkel Gallery in 2000. Several others that I have bought wound up being very lonely and neglected.
This past year the Fraenkel Gallery published Cherry Blossom Time in Japan: The Complete Works.
This is a book that is hard to ignore with its hyper neon color scheme on the cover boards. The book's design is interesting in itself. Lee's books seem to be very design conscious lately in a good way. They try new forms in which to house the pictures and Cherry Blosson Time does this nicely. It is essentially split into two books. A vertical book and a horizontal one. A colophon and plate list in the center of the book serves as a dividing line. The back cover board is the "front cover" for the vertical book and vice versa for the horizontal book. It is an interesting solution to the problem in book design of giving the same "real estate" on the page to both horizontal and vertical 35mm images. Often a publisher will compromise by just designing a square book which in most cases comes off as traditional or having a conservative feel.
Another non-photographic aspect of this book is that it includes almost no text. Other than the colophon and plate list, there is one short quote by Friedlander and a poem by Waka of Narihira (825 – 880). There is something to be said for a photography book that just houses images and excludes dissertations on why the work is necessary or "valid."
But all of what I've written above has nothing to do with the photographs.
It was on four trips to Japan during cherry blossom time that these 73 images were made, the last of which in 1984. Lee's work has shifted since then. His world of today is more chaotic and claustrophobic and although he "orders" it in a way that makes it essentially palatable, these pictures seem to come from a calmer place.
This work is often compared to Japanese scrolls and I could regurgitate the same but I think, at this point in our collective consciousness, when we see light and bamboo and Koi fish in anything, we think "scroll." One thing that Lee does that corresponds to the qualities of a "scroll" is that he often confuses us as to spacial relatioships and, at times, what is up and what is down. Scrolls, when turned from holder to holder, create an infinite variation of "croppings" to the image. As the scroll moves, often the boundries of land to sky and continuum of land is confused. We also have such moments looking through these photographs (though oddly enough more so in the horizontal images and rarely in the verticals).
The book has a similar feel of a "Friedlander edit." Meaning, there are many images that work in similar formal ways that are included anyway. That usually makes me "not see" the images after a while, but that isn't the case here. Desert Seen (or in my case "unseen") is a good example of a book where my mind shuts down after the midpoint. These images continue to carry me and my interest through both sides of the book.
The printing is a Thomas Palmer (separations) and Meridan printing combination. The images read beautifully on the page. The paper stock is a very nice choice. More so than some of his other titles of late, this is one that will not be neglected on the shelf.
I imagine I will continue to take pleasure in letting Lee provide me my daily moment of Zen.

davey k necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 69 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
hi there
my name is david kavanagh, in ireland people know me as the relationship guy that people in the media turn to for advice and commentary. in the last two years i have built a small business of ten couples a month to 400 and the logo i have is too simplistic to be any good,i am hoping that you can help me and find one that says corporate, successful and marital. i run marriage training courses for couples around ireland
the logo should say-Avalon Premarriage Courses-Better Value, More Fun
the audience will be couples both getting married, getting ready to have children, and also when they are parents-they are discerning and want great quality and value but also an element of fun from their courses
they are aged between 25-50 and are from all over ireland
they are couples who want to have an amasing wedding and if they need counselling for any reason they want to have a brand that they can trust
the logo should be clean, simple and brilliant-go mad and have fun in the process.......
it has to be scaleupable to pop up banner size and scale downable to business card and letter head size if you know what i mean..
try to keep away from old hackeyed cliched images of love and marriage if at all possible
i will be launching AVALON ANTENATAL CLASSES AND PARENTING CLASSES in the next 6 months so both of these courses should be marketable with the new logo also
