Flowmaster Super 40 Muffler 9525454
- Deep "Flowmaster" Tone: The Super 40 muffler offers the same great tone as the Original 40 from Flowmaster. It offers a deep, powerful tone that screams performance and turns heads.
- Tame Interior Manners: Flowmaster's Delta Flow Technology gives the Super 40 Series muffler a much lighter interior tone. The Gen II case technology vastly reduces interior drone and resonance.
- Improved Performance: The Flowmaster Super 40 offers improved exhaust flow and performance. Unrestricted flow is great for improved horsepower and torque.
- For Cars & Trucks: The Super 40 is ideal for high horsepower cars and trucks. A large internal chamber is specifically designed for large volumes of exhaust flow coming from large bore modified engines.
- Black Painted Finish: The Flowmaster Super 40 is constructed of aluminized steel and finished with a black paint for a unique look and improved durability.
- Made in the USA - Santa Rosa, CA
The Super 40 mufflers feature Flowmaster's newest "Gen II Delta Flow" technology. Inspired by the Top Ten race muffler, the Super 40 offers the best of both worlds when it comes to performance and sound. It's perfect for high horsepower vehicles offering unmatched performance and horsepower gains. The Super 40 offers a aggressively deep rumble similar to the Super 44, with much less interior resonance and drone. It comes in a black painted finish with a 13.5"L x 10"W x 5" H case and an overall length of 19.5". For a muffler that screams that "Flowmaster" sound without overbearing interior noise, look no further than the Super 40 Series mufflers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flowmaster's warranty?
All Flowmaster products built of aluminized steel have a 10 year limited warranty against defective materials and workmanship. All stainless steel mufflers have a 10 year limited warranty against defective materials and workmanship.
What is "Delta Flow" technology?
Flowmaster's "Delta Flow" technology has evolved from extensive Research & Development at race-tracks around the country. This new technology provides superior scavenging while reducing resonance inside the vehicle. What you can expect is improved performance while maintaining a pleasant tone, both inside and outside the vehicle.
What materials are used to build Flowmaster mufflers?
All Flowmaster products are fully mig welded and built from 16 gauge aluminized steel for durability and value. Specific part numbers of the 40 and 50 series are also offered in 409 stainless steel, while the Hushpower II mufflers are offered in either 409 stainless steel, or 304 stainless steel.
What pipe size should I use for a street application?
In general, the following guidelines should be applied for street applications.
2" tubing up to 100 hp per pipe
2.25" tubing up to 160 hp per pipe
2.5" tubing up to 200 hp per pipe
3" tubing up to 300 hp per pipe
What is the difference between a 40 series and a 50 series muffler?
Both mufflers have the same sound outside the vehicle, but each has varying sound levels generated inside the vehicle. The 40 series (two chamber) will resonate inside the vehicle, generally around 1800-2000 rpms and also again around 2400-2600 rpms. The 50 series (three chamber) incorporates an H-chamber that helps eliminate this interior resonance in the cab area of your vehicle.
Will I lose power going from a 40 series to a 50 series, or to a 70 series?
No. Flowmaster engineers each series of mufflers for very low restriction with the main differences being varying sound levels both inside, and outside your vehicle. This way you can customize your vehicles sound levels to your vehicles needs and sound preference.
Do I need to install an "H" pipe to my dual exhaust?
Flowmaster strongly recommends using an "H" pipe, commonly known as a "balance tube" on all "true dual" exhaust systems. An "H" pipe equalizes the pressures between both banks of the engine giving a broader and flatter torque curve throughout the rpm range. It also eliminates "back-rap" common on deceleration, and creates a deeper mellower tone both inside and outside of the vehicle.
Is an "X" pipe better than and "H" pipe?
Over the years, Flowmaster's testing of all types of crossovers, including "X pipes", has revealed no substantial benefits over a properly installed "H" pipe on street driven applications. However, in race applications with small cubic inch engines and /or restricted (small bore) carburetors, will respond well to the addition of X pipes, tri-y styled collectors and/or properly designed single exhaust systems.
Will my late model vehicle run better if I replace the single inlet muffler with a true dual exhaust system?
Flowmaster does not recommend replacing factory single inlet exhaust systems with a "true dual" system on computer controlled vehicles. The computers in most late model vehicles will not be able to compensate with the fuel needed with an almost doubling of the exhaust flow. Flowmasters dual outlet kits will give you the look of a "true dual" system, while optimizing the vehicles performance.
Do I need to run tailpipes after the mufflers?
Yes, Flowmaster highly recommends running tailpipes out from under the vehicle. This directs the exhaust fumes away from the vehicle, while minimizing the sound transmitted into the cab area of the vehicle.
What kind of performance gains can I expect when installing Flowmasters on my vehicle?
Performance gains will vary dependent upon your application. The more power the vehicle makes, the bigger the gains will be. Generally, a 5-7% gain of power is fairly typical, while 1-2 mpg can be achieved. That is if you can keep your foot out of the gas to hear that Flowmaster sound.
How can I be sure that I'm buying a Flowmaster muffler?
The Flowmaster name is embossed in every muffler case that Flowmaster builds. If it doesn't say Flowmaster on the case, it's not a real Flowmaster muffler.
3 Year Warranty
Flowmaster is offering a 3 year limited warranty on the aluminum Super 40 Series Delta Flow Mufflers.
Flowmaster mufflers are designed to work with new or existing exhaust systems. They offer slip on installation and can be welded or clamped into place. Due to the use of heavier materials, Flowmaster recommends spot welding the joints when using clamps. On some applications it will be necessary to cut or splice when adding Flowmaster mufflers to an existing exhaust system.

For Exhibit A on Matlock's virtual ignorance of the facts, see his statement that Liberty is "still dealing with provisional ABA accreditation." For your information, LU received provisional accreditation faster than any ABA-accredited law school in the history of ABA-accredited law schools, which was 18 months. Going by sheer mathematics, the soonest that ANY institution could be granted full accreditation is a full four years after provisional accreditation, which would translate to April 2010. As LULAW1982 rather ineloquently pointed out, we have an ABA site team coming in the fall. Based on our track record and future projections, LU is a virtual shoo-in for full accreditation. And as you must know, oh wise Matlock, there is no difference between provisionally accredited schools and fully accredited schools, except fully accredited schools are permitted to engage in night school programs, joint degree programs (e.g., JD/MBA), and LL.M. programs. Oh, I'm sorry, you didn't know that, Matlock? Maybe you should check your facts the next time you begin to make overblown and unwarranted generalizations.
Liberty intentionally has its students spend 20 percent more time in class (one hour) than virtually all other ABA-accredited institutions (50 minutes) in order to increase the treatment of the subject matter.

COACH: Bubba Hooker (second year at Bethel, 7-4; eighth year overall, 11-60).
2011: 7-4, 6-3 (4th), lost 50-15 to Oscar Smith in Eastern Region Division 6 quarterfinals
TOP RETURNEES: OL/DL Ricky Walker (6-2/278/Jr.), RB/CB Jihad Hudson (5-6/145/Sr.), S/WR Nicholas Clark (5-11/146/Sr.), WR/DB Corey Sweetenberg (5-10/166/Sr.), QB Trey Jackson (5-9/173/Sr.), RB/CB Justin Blue (5-9/181/Sr.), OL/DL Todd Barker (6-0/280/Sr.), WR/LB Casey Pretlow (5-11/199/Sr.), OL/DL Marc Maddox (5-9/231/Sr.), PK Jordan Shover (6-3/154/Jr.).
25.8 (4th)….……..PPG…...…...…….17.5 (6th)
111.2 (8th)……… Rushing…………..144.5 (6th)
210.9 (1st)…... Passing………......87.3 (3rd)
322.1 (1st)…….Total……………..231.8 (6th)
There are two big changes: One, former Phoebus assistant Ron Johnson is the coordinator. And two, the philosophy is completely different. No longer will the Bruins use a no-huddle spread that gains about two-thirds of its yards by air. Hooker is switching to a traditional running game that will be designed to churn out yards and eat up as much of the 25-second play clock as possible. Jackson, who completed 2-of-8 passes last year backing up Frank Brown, will run the show. In Willie Davis and Rashawn Proctor, the Bruins lost two receivers who combined for 99 catches and 23 TDs last season. Alex Wilson (eight catches, 107 yards) is the top returning receiver. In Hudson (21 carries, 105 yards), who missed much of last season with a hip pointer, Hooker believes he has a solid back. Demetrius Dinkins (10 carries, 39 yards) will back him up. Walker will join the offensive line after concentrating on defense his first two seasons. Maddox, who is battling a knee injury, is the only returning starter on the offense.
A beneficiary of the switch in offensive philosophy should be the defense, which occasionally found itself on the field too much last year. The Bruins gave up 20 or more points six times, including a pair of wins. Under new defensive coordinator Bernie West, previously the coach of the successful JV team, Bethel hopes to be more consistent in the 4-4-3 set. Walker is a star, and Hooker plans to play him "wherever we think they'll run the ball." Virginia Tech is among his offers at this point. Pretlow returns at linebacker where he'll be joined by Jaciel Graves (5-10/214-Sr.), Stephan Parris (6-2/158/Sr.) and Brian Moore (5-11/188/Jr.). Clark is the veteran in the secondary and will be joined by Blue and Hudson at the corners. Freshman Terry Chisley is the backup at both corner spots.
"We're changing ur from a quick-strike, throw-it-down-the-field (style) to sort of a slow, methodical offense. I don't want to say three yards and a cloud of dust because that doesn't equal a first down. So hopefully four yards and a cloud of dust. … We're trying to instill a tougher mentality by running the ball. We feel like that will help us in the long run. … We're trying to set the foundation for the program as far as the kids being strong and tough. … We're trying to find the five best (on the line). Ricky hasn't played offense to speak of, but he goes 6-2, 278, and he does a good job wherever he plays. … We've been working hard on the fundamentals. We're very basic. Eight-man front, 4-4-3, I-pro, split-pro, some gun when we have to throw. We're trying to spend most of our time coaching the fundamentals. … We've led the league in passing, but so what? When it's all said and done, it hasn't helped us get to where we want to be. … We've got so many inexperienced kids. They might not be young, but they're inexperienced as far as playing tine."
If all goes as planned, the 2012 edition will look more like the Bethel of old. The Peninsula District has never been a finesse league, and a running game is a must. The Bruins had that with Jontel Evans and Sam Bennett, and they need to revive it. Jackson won't be asked to do as much as Frank Brown was last season. Hudson and Dinkins both showed promise last year as runners. The front line is green with only Maddox a returning starter, though you have to assume Walker will flourish in his new role. And the more time the offense takes off the clock, the less time the defense needs to be on the field. That's how you win in the PD, and the Bruins hope to rediscover that formula. If they do, they'll make the playoffs for the fifth time in six years.

Despite back-to-back 19-win campaigns and a WNIT appearance in 2011-12, the Hofstra women's basketball team has its eyes on a bigger prize this season — its first trip to the NCAA tournament. The Pride (19-12, 11-7 Colonial Athletic Association) saw last season come to end with a 73-71 loss to Harvard in the opening round of the WNIT.
Hofstra must replace the backcourt tandem of Nicole Capurso and Candice Bellocchio, and sharpshooter Katelyn Loper, who transferred to Oregon. However, expectations are high for the freshman class, which includes three guards, and the Pride brings back senior Shante Evans, one of the country's top performers.
Hofstra got the season started on a good note with a 77-75 victory over Stetson in the WBI Tip-Off Classic in Daytona Beach, Florida. Junior guard Annie Payton scored a career-high 17 points to lead the way. The Pride followed up the win with consecutive losses to No. 15 Texas and No. 18 St. John's. With one of the more difficult non-conference schedules in the nation, the Pride will be well-tested when CAA play begins.
Head coach Krista Kilburn-Steveskey believes her team will be up to the challenge. "We have to be playing good ball right from the get-go," Kilburn-Steveskey said. "We're looking forward to competing for the CAA title, with the goal continuing to be for this team to be the first in program history to get to the NCAA tournament. With 12 of the teams we're facing having played in a postseason tournament last season, we know it's not going to be easy. We have to outwork teams and get after it."
While the Pride is inexperienced in the backcourt, it has a gem in Evans on the inside. The 6-foot senior forward, who averaged 19.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per contest as a junior, is homing in on becoming the all-time leader in both scoring and rebounds. Evans is 182 points and 15 rebounds shy of the current school records.
As a junior, Evans continued to rack up honors. She earned first-team All-CAA, AP honorable mention All-America, and first-team All-Met Division I recognition for the second straight year. In addition, Evans has been named to both the John R. Wooden Award Women's Preseason Top 30 and Naismith Trophy Watch List.

Holly Dublin - nueva presidenta de la CSEIUCN, Gland, Switzerland 10 Dec 2004. Dr Holly T. Dublin's association with the Species Survival Commission began over 30 years ago when she became a member of her first Specialist Group. Since that time she has contributed to numerous SSC Specialist Groups, task forces and initiatives. In 1992 she became the Chair of the African Elephant SG, one of the Commission's most productive and acclaimed groups. In 1994, Holly joined the SSC Executive Committee and has been a dynamic participant ever since.
Holly moves with ease between the day-to-day realities and concerns of conservation practitioners and the world of international policy, its financiers and decision-makers. A skilled writer and orator, with a long and dedicated history with IUCN and SSC, she will be a committed and effective Chair.
Although Holly has lived in East Africa most of her life, she received her MSc. in Wildlife Biology from the University of Washington in 1980 and her PhD. in Zoology from the University of British Columbia in 1985. In the course of her career, she has been awarded: WWF's International Conservation Merit Award; the Chicago Zoo's President's Medal for Conservation Excellence; Officer of the Golden Ark; the Charles A. Lindbergh Grant and is a two-time Fulbright Scholar. A life-long expatriate, she remains a U.S. citizen.
In 2002, Holly completed twenty-years with WWF. Professionally, she "evolved" from her origins as a nascent Graduate Fellow working in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, to become the Project Ecologist for the Masai Mara Ecological Monitoring Programme, the Scientific Officer for Eastern Africa and finally, for many years, as a Senior Conservation Adviser for WWF's Africa and Madagascar Programme. Since then, she has served as a Senior Conservation Adviser for IUCN's Eastern Africa Regional Office in Nairobi, while conducting independent evaluations and programmatic planning exercises for the Global Environment Facility, the International Finance Corporation, UNEP, WWF International and numerous other NGOs.
Holly has many other associations within IUCN and its Commissions as a member of the World Commission on Protected Areas, the Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy and as an active contributor to the Commission on Ecosystem Management, particularly with regard to the conceptualization and operationalization of the Ecosystem Approach to the conservation of biodiversity. On the regional and national level, she has worked with IUCN's national and sub-regional offices in Africa and Asia. She has been an active player in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES) and is also experienced in the deliberations of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on Migratory Species.
Her priorities for the Commission over the next four years are:
* restructure the Commission and its Secretariat support system to facilitate the integration of the work of SSC's members and Specialist Groups with the outputs of the SSC Strategic Plan (2001–2010) and IUCN's Key Results Areas (2005–2008);
* re-appoint the Specialist Group Chairs on the basis of criteria developed by the Consultative Group on Commissions, recommended to the IUCN Governance Task Force and later adopted by Council;
* continue to respond in tangible ways to the recommendations outlined in SSC's "2001 Study on Voluntarism" and the "2004 External Review of IUCN Commissions";
* assist in securing support for the implementation of the Species Information Service to enable it to reach its full potential;
* forge stronger and more synergistic partnerships and joint programmes of work with our "sister" Commissions, the Secretariat and with relevant institutions and individuals outside IUCN; and
* investigate the merit and feasibility of SSC hosting an international forum on species conservation.

Ausmus preaching aggressiveness on bases
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Before Brad Ausmus embarked upon his Grapefruit League debut as Tigers manager on Wednesday, he was asked how he wanted people to view his team.
"If someone came up to me and said, 'We like the way the Tigers play baseball. They play baseball the right way,' that would be good," Ausmus said. "It's battling for your life with two strikes. It's finding a way on the mound without your best stuff to get guys out. You can see those things. It's not giving up on a fly ball in the gap, running it down, or keeping the runner from going an extra base."
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Before Brad Ausmus embarked upon his Grapefruit League debut as Tigers manager on Wednesday, he was asked how he wanted people to view his team.
"If someone came up to me and said, 'We like the way the Tigers play baseball. They play baseball the right way,' that would be good," Ausmus said. "It's battling for your life with two strikes. It's finding a way on the mound without your best stuff to get guys out. You can see those things. It's not giving up on a fly ball in the gap, running it down, or keeping the runner from going an extra base."
It's also aggressiveness, and finding different ways to bring in a run. And while the rest sounds familiar -- something a lot of managers will mention -- the aggressiveness has been evidenced immediately.
The Tigers stole 35 bases for the entire 2013 regular season. They stole 17 bases last Spring Training. They stole four bases on Wednesday -- including a double steal that included Victor Martinez -- and watched Rajai Davis turn a popup in foul territory behind third base into a sacrifice fly without a play at the plate as he dashed home.
The Tigers ran their way into three of their six runs on Wednesday, and they set up their go-ahead rally with a walk and back-to-back bunts ahead of a two-run single. Then they manufactured their first run Thursday without a base hit, watching Jose Iglesias foul off a pair of two-strike pitches to stay alive for a leadoff walk before bringing him around on a wild pitch and two groundouts, the RBI coming from Miguel Cabrera.
The Tigers scored a half-dozen runs Wednesday without an extra-base hit. They've only done that once in a regular-season game since 2000, a 13-hit barrage against the White Sox in a meaningless late-season contest on Sept. 9, 2010. By contrast, not until Danny Worth's eighth-inning double on Thursday -- in the Tigers' 17th inning of the spring -- did Detroit have an extra-base hit.
It's early, it was far from a projected Opening Day lineup in either game and they have a lot of Grapefruit League play left for Cabrera and others to feast on pitching. Nonetheless, after two games, it's clear these Tigers aren't going to wait around for home runs to happen.
"We hope we can use some of our leg assets in terms of running the bases, and maybe defensively," Ausmus said Wednesday. "But I think it's the frame of mind that we have to change before it becomes a real factor, the frame of mind of wanting to go the extra 90, the extra 180 feet, forcing the defense to make the play on you."
Yes, Ausmus used the term "leg assets." And yes, they definitely wanted to go the extra feet.
For a veteran ballclub, that would seem like a difficult change to force, especially from a first-time manager. So far, however, the Tigers seem to be embracing it.
"I'm actually 100 percent on board," Torii Hunter said. "I've been playing a while, and this is the right way to do it."
Part of the change is the reality of the roster construction. When the Tigers had Prince Fielder and Cabrera, the goal was to bring them to bat with as many runners on base as possible. Where they stood on base was irrelevant.
"There was awareness," Hunter said, "but oftentimes you would catch yourself waiting for the big homer, because you actually had big hitters. You had Prince, you had Miguel, so obviously you didn't want to move too much and take the chance of getting thrown out."
Even so, the Tigers brought in a baserunning consultant last year to help draw an attacking mentality of Austin Jackson, Andy Dirks and other Tigers with the capability to run. They learned quite a bit from longtime coach Jeff Cox, but very little seemed to translate into games.
The Tigers led all of baseball with 419 chances to move from first to third base, according to the Bill James Handbook. They took advantage just 89 times. They had better numbers sending runners home from second, but still not a high rate, at 54 percent. They grounded into 147 double plays, second most in the American League, and made 29 outs advancing, fifth most in the league.
The Tigers finished with a net loss of 32 runs on the bases, according to the handbook, tied for worst in the Majors. No other AL team was worse than minus-16.
Detroit still finished second in the Majors in runs scored. Once they struggled to plate runs in the postseason, though, team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski sought some diversity.
"We had dominant starting pitching in the Boston series," Dombrowski said last week, "and we got beat because we didn't score enough runs, and we gave up some big hits at the wrong times."
Once Jim Leyland retired, Ausmus' hire was a philosophical change. After the Tigers traded Fielder to Texas for Ian Kinsler, however, the roster he had took on a different look. The signing of the speedy Davis, who stole more bases by himself last year (45) than Detroit did as a team, made the change more pronounced.
"I think the previous rosters probably had a little more long ball capability," Ausmus said, "and often when you have that capability, you don't want to take the bat out of their hands by risking a stolen base or risking a hit-and-run. I think the team, the lineup/roster is different, and you have to adjust for that. If this lineup/roster is a little bit more balanced as opposed to being more power laden, then we have to go with that as a strength."
If Leyland had this type of roster, his philosophies might well have been different too. But Ausmus does take some different views. He understands the double downside to putting runners in motion ahead of Cabrera, both in losing a baserunner and in opening up a base. But there's also an upside to the threat if a pitcher throws Cabrera an extra fastball, hoping to give his catcher a chance to catch a would-be basestealer.
"It's a possibility," Ausmus said. "I think the veteran, smarter catchers will realize it's more important to go after Miguel Cabrera. I think the younger catchers who are more concerned about throwing a runner out, Miggy could see a few more fastballs. The flip side is that if you steal second, now you have a base open. So when is the right time to steal second with Miggy at the plate or Miggy on deck?
"There are times when you definitely want Miggy to be able to swing the bat and, in theory, get pitches to hit. That being said, statistically, the more runners you have on base, the better chance you have of scoring. And if Miggy ends up walking, I'm very comfortable with Victor Martinez having an opportunity to hit a double in the gap and score two, or even hit a single and score the runner from second."
That's a strategy question Ausmus will have to tackle sooner or later. For now, he's focused on the mindset. He wants players to think aggressively.
So far, it's taking.
"I call it being a hyena," Hunter said. "taking advantage of a weak link. If you drop a ball, I'm going 90 feet. If you're lazy getting to the ball in the outfield, I'm going 90 feet. That's being a hyena."

Participants, including District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer and District 5 City Councilwoman Lorie Zapf will gather at 8:15 for a continental breakfast at the Family Life Center, 2128 Chatsworth Blvd., before setting off to toil from 9 a.m. to noon. A complimentary barbeque lunch will be served at the same location after the mission is complete, and volunteers will be given T-shirts for the cleanup event.
The Day of Service includes a variety of projects and skills so all ages can participate.
Volunteers are still needed to aid the ambitious effort. Among the key projects are hillside stabilization and arena improvements at the Peninsula YMCA, filling gopher holes at Robb Field, painting the back side of the gym at Point Loma High, trail work at Cabrillo National Monument, preparing food for the homeless, clean up of the San Diego River at Dog Beach, weeding the Rose Garden at Liberty Station NTC Park and elementary school improvements.
Additional projects include trash removal at Famosa Slough, graffiti removal, writing letter and cards to soldiers, singing to seniors, youth hostel improvements, prayer quilt ministry and help to the Presbyterian Urban Ministries and San Diego Food Bank.
"This is an opportunity for volunteers from throughout our neighborhood to work together to enrich our community by helping our schools, our environment, our military and our neighbors in need," said event co-chairman and former City Councilman Byron Wear.
Many volunteers, including students, Y members, veterans, Scout groups, community volunteers and civic leaders plan to participate and more help is needed.
"The Day of Service has been a highlight for our church and it's given us the opportunity to collectively put our faith into action," said Karla Shaw, associate pastor of the Point Loma Presbyterian Church
To volunteer for the Day of Service event, call (619) 326-8894, email email@example.com or show up at the church at 8:15 a.m. on June 1 for an assignment.
On Sunday, June 2, the church will have a special celebration at the 8:30 and 10:15 a.m. services with Dr. Dean Nelson, director of the journalism program at Point Loma Nazarene University, who will speak on preaching on community service.
The Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church celebrated its 75th year in 2012 with a renovation of the church sanctuary and new courtyard and plans are under way for a renovation of the church preschool and youth facilities in 2014.

If I haven't mentioned it here before, then I will now. I'm an avid scrapbooker! I even have my own custom designed scrapbook business (Nana's Novelties). I'd give your the url link but my site looks pretty pitiful & I really need to revamp it (which means finding the time!) Anyway – one reason I decided to get into the scrap for hire business is to preserve history for generations. That's my tag line "Preservation for Generations". Anyway, as I have been working on a project (won't say what just now – wait another month!) – I've realized that my mind just isn't what it used to be. Trying to remember details about certain activities and events is like trying to find a small piece of glass in a pile of mud. Everything is murky and not quite clear. I've even gone back through emails I sent to people looking for details I might have written about – not many.
My idea has more to do with journaling history as it happens. I don't keep a "journal" or diary. I suspect it's because:
- I really don't have the time
- I figure I say enough in emails to other people (I keep the sent copy)
- By the time I get to putting down the details, it's already too late
So I thought, what about just listing major points in a word processing format? Yesterday was my grandson's birthday and I want to list details of the day, what happened when, what he said, what we ate for dinner, what type of cake, etc. I want to do that when special holidays or events happen as well. What we thought about it, where we went, etc.
What this boils down to in relation to genealogy is someday your descendents are going to research you! They will find the vital information – where and when you were born, where and when you married, your children, probably where you lived and how you earned a living. They won't know how you felt on 9-11 or how depressed you were when someone you loved died. They – just as we do now – will be left to guess about all of that.
I'm hoping by scrapbooking not only the special moments of my family's life – but the day to day (sometimes humdrum) life, not only will my descendents have a better picture of the whole person but someday when my memory really does fail me in big ways, then I can look at the pictures and read the stories and have all of those memories come back to life.
How do you journal for history? Leave me a comment with your ideas – or blog about it and send me the link.

Catherine's Cilbir (Turkish Poached Eggs over Yogurt) Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
Recipe: Cilbir (Turkish Poached Eggs over Yogurt)
Category: Vegetarian
How long does it take? 20 minutes
Name: Catherine
Why is it a favorite meal? Yogurt sauce and poached eggs are two of my favorite quick dishes. Together... heaven.
Cilbir (Turkish Poached Eggs over Yogurt)
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 garlic clove, chopped
Small bunch fresh dill, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried (optional)
2 eggs
Smoked paprika
Butter (optional)
1. Bring a small saucepan about 1/2 full of water to a boil.
2. While the water boils, whisk together the yogurt and chopped garlic with a pinch of salt and dill if using. Spread the mixture in the bottom of a shallow bowl for serving. I like to place the bowl of yogurt on an unused burner of the stove near the boiling water to help it come to room temperature faster (this is a quick weeknight meal, after all!).
3. Crack one egg into a small, shallow bowl or ramekin.
4. When the water boils, turn the heat as low as possible so the surface of the water barely moves. Using the wrong end of a wooden spoon, create a whirlpool in the water and carefully slip the eggs (one at a time) into the swirling water by gently lowering the bowl or ramekin into the center. Once the eggs are in the pot, again use the wrong end of the spoon to swirl around the outside if the whites are spreading out too much, then let the eggs sit still as they poach for 3-4 minutes.
5. When the eggs are poached, carefully lift them out of the water with a slotted spoon. Drain them for a few seconds, and place them atop the yogurt in the shallow bowl.
6. Sprinkle with smoked paprika. For a richer dish, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over low heat while the eggs poach. When the butter sizzles, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and stir as it cooks for approximately 30 seconds. Pour this over the eggs.
Serve with pita bread, baguette, or any other bread good for soaking up sauce.
This recipe serves one, but can easily be scaled up to serve more.
Thanks Catherine, and good luck! Readers, give Catherine a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

You're due to make an airplane flight in one hour. The airport is still 20 minutes away, and you're stuck on a major highway in a very slow-moving boondoggle of cars and trucks going nowhere.
What do you do? How do you react? How do you feel?
Many of you might change lanes as soon as possible. Some may try to find an alternate route by squeezing over to the next lane so you could get off at the next exit. Others might simply sit there, stew, honk the horn in frustration, give up and get ready to blame someone.
I call the above "traffic jam management." Here's the funny thing: you can't manage the jam, but you can manage yourself. As I think about it, many club operators manage their facilities as though they're in traffic jams every day, meaning that they react rather than act. They wait for the event to happen before they then recklessly decide what to do. They don't take responsibility for who they are in the midst of circumstances.
What about pre-planning? Did it occur to them to call ahead to find out what traffic was like on the way? Did they map out alternate routes "just in case?" What about GPS or turning on the local traffic station prior to entering a possibly congested area? Or how about any of a half-dozen other innovative solutions including the possibility of calling the airline and telling them what's happening and asking for a rapid check-in once they arrive?
Maybe one in 10 people will do one of the above. Most will go straight to "reactive management." That's what I accuse 90 percent of health club operators of doing these days — reacting rather than acting.
But, you say, it happens. Circumstances arise. You really can't do anything about it. You're a victim of an unmanageable situation. It's not your fault. Oh yeah?
Many business managers routinely practice traffic jam management. Here are some of the tell-tale signs that you are reacting:
- You look for reasons why it happened
That's helpful only in retrospect to try to learn something for the future that maybe won't even be repeated. Not very useful, though, because most of us look for why as a way to blame someone or something else.
- You carry it with you the rest of the day
"If that hadn't happened, this wouldn't have happened…and then this wouldn't have taken place. My whole day, which started off great, got ruined." Here's the problem with this one: you not only carry it with you the rest of the day, so does everyone else who comes in contact with you.
- You get angry and then try to control your anger
After all, you're the boss. You have to be in control. You have to set a good example. The obvious problem with this reaction is that your focus is on anger — even resolving anger is about anger — and not about how you can respond to the situation and solve it.
- You take it personally
This retort is often accompanied by "Why do these things always happen to me?" or "Just my luck!" Your challenge is to make even the worst of circumstances work for you.
- You make somebody wrong
This comeback is the prize of prizes. It assumes two things: 1) that you are intellectually superior to everyone else on the planet and that if they would just come up to speed, then the world would work perfectly all the time; and 2) that there actually is someone to blame for everything that happens — and it's seldom, if ever, you.
We're not very adept in modern society at applying common-sense principles to everyday happenings. We tend to look for the deeper meaning. We forget to address the current situation and move on from there. In other words, most managers are either mired in the past or stuck in anticipation of the future. It might be useful to attempt to deal with now rationally, maturely and effectively. We might see a lot better results in health clubs — for managers, employees and customers — if we just practiced some elementary sanity.
Did it ever occur to you to allow an additional half-hour to get to the airport? To expect the worst and act as though the best is going to happen anyway? Try it. It might just work.
Or maybe you like traffic jams.

What's worse burglary or murder? This is a question that is so easy to answer, yet if you listen to the supporters of 61 year old Joe Horn, you would think that burglary was the epitome of crimes. I am talking about the case of Joe Horn who shot two of three suspected burglars to death as they walked from his neighbor's yard in Texas. He was talking with the 911 operator when he did it.
I am sure that people are reading this and saying "but Black Sentinel isn't a crime a crime?" Of course and I don't have any problems with that. The problems I do have is when someone decides that this is now the wild, wild west and breaks out a gun and starts shooting those he "suspects" are guilty of a crime. I am pretty darn sure that those three men "were" robbing Horn's neighbor, yet whose responsibility is it to make sure that those involved in crime pay for them? I know that Horn believes that it was he that had the right.
This is a clear cut case of murder. I believe that it can be looked at as premeditated murder if you read or listen to his conversation with the 911 operator.(read the transcript here) The operator tells him, "Don't go outside the house, you're going to get yourself shot if you go outside with a gun. I don't care what you think." Horn then replies, "You wanna make a bet; I'm going to kill them." Not to mention that when he was shooting you can hear on the phone call him stating "you're dead" then the loud cracks of a gun firing. What about stating you are going to kill someone right before you do it isn't considered premeditated murder?
People are saying things such as "if we start doling justice like Horn, crime would go down." Did crime in the old west go down when you could shoot people justly in the streets? Nope, in fact crime was out of control, which is the reason we had to enact new laws in order to stop people from taking it upon themselves to dole out the justice. What would have stopped another neighbor from seeing Horn with his gun, not knowing exactly what "he" was doing, go get their gun and shoot him, thinking "he" was in the middle of committing a crime as well. This kind of action opens up a can of worms that once out is going to get out of hand very quickly.
He told the dispatcher that he saw them coming out the window and had to go, where he went over to the neighbor's yard to confront the men. He claims that he didn't expect to see them, yet he could see them and ran over there with his gun, is he kidding. He says that they came towards the front yard and he "had" to shoot. If he had stayed in the house like he was told he wouldn't have "HAD" to shoot anyone. The point is he WANTED to shoot those men. He even stated a new law called the Castle Doctrine Bill as a means that would protect him "if he kills them." Senator Jeff Wentworth says that the bill was not written to protect a person in this situation.
The senator says the bill is intended to defend someone that is defending themselves or their family etc. from someone breaking into their occupied home, car or business, not a neighbor's home which was unoccupied at the time. Like the senator said, in HIS OWN HOME, not some house next door, down the street or how about across town. So this man hadn't even read the law he was citing before he went off to do his little shooting spree. Now is this the type of person we want taking it upon themselves to give justice at will? I don't feel safe with this moron out supposedly protecting me or anyone else.
I am seeing on the news paper Blogs a lot of people are saying that this man is a hero because these two guys were scumbags and deserved to be shot dead, as they would be out robbing someone else right now. They are also talking about how this guy Horn shouldn't have to cower in his home while burglars are running amok. Now the problem I am having is yes these guys probably were scumbags, but when did being a scumbag deserve death? Also, Horn was not being robbed personally so he didn't need to cower in his home, remember, he went out and confronted the alleged scumbags. Also, if they were in "HIS" home I probably wouldn't have a problem with what happened.
This has turned into a race problem since the protestors seem to be minorities and the people who are supporting him are white. The supporters are also running around with the confederate flag, I even seen a confederate flag painted on the back of one person's head. I think that the reason the minorities are painting this as a racist problem could be that the man probably would not have run out of his house to shoot these fellows if they were white. He likely would have asked them what they were doing. This is the discrepancy, he might have jumped the gun and these guys could have been a construction team doing work, he didn't know and that is the problem with people deciding that they have the right to play police man.

News outlets said they would not be filing any text or pictures after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to accredit the international picture agencies Getty Images and Action Images as well as two Indian agencies.
The five-match series is due to start on Tuesday with a Twenty20 international in Bangalore.
"It is regrettable that the politically-charged Pakistan tour will be affected by the BCCI's failure to recognise the long-standing importance of photographic news agencies in the flow of sport and news images every day," said the News Media Coalition, which represents a group of media organisations including AFP.
Other international agencies who are members of the coalition, such as Thomson Reuters and the Associated Press, will also halt text and photo coverage. It is the second time in as many months that a series involving India has been hit by a coverage suspension, with a similar dispute embroiling England's recent tour.
As well as the suspension of coverage by the agencies, English newspapers and leading websites refused to use images supplied by the BCCI and instead used file pictures.
"As a direct result of the BCCI stance, great sporting moments from the cricket tours to India are going unrecorded and therefore lost forever. England's games were the hidden series and the Pakistan tour is heading for the same fate," said Andrew Moger, executive director of the NMC.
The World Association of Newspapers is backing the suspension, saying the BCCI was "denying the ability of editors to select from the best of photography for the benefit of readers".
A BCCI spokesman declined to comment but did refer reporters to a statement issued for the England tour which said there was "no intention to censor or limit bona fide news reporting" and emphasised that news agencies had been accredited.
The photo agencies however had been refused as the BCCI deemed "their primary businesses involved the commercial sale and licensing of images rather than the supply of images to news publications for bona fide editorial purposes".

ATLANTA (AP) — Burch Smith struck out 10 in seven innings to earn his first major league victory, Chase Headley and Tommy Medica homered, and the San Diego Padres beat the Atlanta Braves 4-0 on Sunday.
The Braves lead the NL East by 10 games over Washington. Atlanta opens a three-game series at Nationals Park on Monday night, and can clinch the division by winning twice there.
Smith (1-1) held the Braves hitless until pitcher Julio Teheran singled with one out in the sixth. Teheran advanced to third on Justin Upton's two-out single, but Smith struck out Evan Gattis to end the threat.
Smith allowed three hits and walked two. The rookie made his fifth career start — he had a 12.41 ERA in his previous starts. He struck out seven of the first 13 Atlanta batters.
Teheran (12-8) gave up seven hits, four runs, no walks and struck out six in 6 2-3 innings. Manager Fredi Gonzalez pulled him with two outs in the seventh after Burch bunted into a forceout.
Jedd Groyko's RBI single and Headley's 13th homer in the sixth gave the Padres a 3-0 lead.
Medica, who homered off Philadelphia's Cliff Lee last Wednesday for his first career hit, led off the seventh with his second homer to make it 4-0.
After Teheran left, reliever Scott Downs gave up a double to Will Venable that advanced Burch to third. After pinch-hitter Chris Denorfia walked to load the bases, Downs struck out Gyorko to end the threat.
Smith retired the first 11 batters before Freddie Freeman walked in the fourth. Freeman moved to second when Smith made a wild pickoff throw, but Gattis struck out.
Padres closer Huston Street pitched the ninth. He gave up a leadoff single to Freeman before retiring the next three batters.
Teheran had retired 14 straight batters before Venable singled to begin the sixth. One out later, Venable stole second and scored on Gyorko's single.
NOTES: In the first six games of San Diego's 10-game road trip, Headley is hitting .364 with three homers and seven RBIs in 22 at-bats. ... Venable, who went 3 for 4, became the 10th San Diego player to have a 20 homer-20 steal season. ... Gattis went 0 for 4 and is hitless in his last 15 at-bats. ... Braves CF B.J. Upton, who went 0 for 3 and struck out twice, is 1 for his last 21. His average dropped one point to .190. Upton has struck out 143 times in 378 at-bats.

Special to the News
While conflict rages in the Middle East, national lawmakers are proposing a Renewable Electricity Standard to promote greater domestic energy independence. Oregon has everything to gain from adapting such a standard; it would direct the country to generate at least 20 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2025. Oregon legislators should help make sure its provisions are included in the national energy bill.
Renewable electricity standards are a no-brainer for states like ours dependent on an agricultural economy. Yet some politicians characterize them as attacks on industry by fuzzy minded environmentalists. It's time to put an end to this childish notion. Accelerating renewable energy development through biomass, wind, and solar utilization is principally about local job creation, national security, and a stable supply of electricity that promotes a healthy economic climate. It's about promoting initiative and industry in our rural regions. Increasing the proportion of renewable energy for Oregon is serious business, and our legislators should treat it as such.
Thirteen states — most lying in the agricultural plains of the Midwest and Southwest — have already passed renewable energy standards. Their leaders have realized that electricity generated from wind and biomass combustion is a promising new cash crop for farmers.
Here in Oregon, the dairy industry could solve waste disposal problems by extracting methane from cow manure and piping the gas to electric generators. The necessary technology has been around for 30 years, but electric utilities haven't wanted to buy the power — even though it's just as reliable as electricity from fossil-fuel plants and provides a local benefit.
The availability of wind energy close to the Gorge is almost perfectly correlated with irrigation needs, and electric irrigation pumps present an attractive constant load demand. Wind turbines outside the Scenic Area could contribute to the continued viability of family farming, ranching, and orchards near to the Gorge by adding a diversified income source to offset low margin crop production. The Sevenmile Hill proposal near The Dalles, involving 33 turbines, is consistent with this vision provided Audubon concerns can be adequately addressed.
Biogasifiers and biomass turbines fueled by agricultural wastes could also contribute significantly to the Northwest's generation capacity. It may soon be feasible to generate electricity by fueling turbines with excess crop residues or entire trees from orchard clearing. Currently, huge amounts of agricultural residues are being burned and wasted annually because operators simply have no other realistic option. Open burning also releases enormous amounts of smoke that could be dramatically reduced by high temperature turbine combustion.
Homegrown, renewable energy is not expensive. In fact, renewable power saves ratepayers money over time because wind turbines and methane plants keep churning out power at a fixed cost when drought and natural gas spikes drive up the cost of conventional generation. Plus, they pump that money into local economies rather than foreign gas fields.
Rural Oregon can be a powerful part of the nation's drive toward energy independance. Let's hope legislators weigh the state's interests above those of the petroleum industry.

Frank Dancevic seems to like Indianapolis, and we seem to like that bandana he's wearing. Sporting American colors at The Indy Tennis Championships, the Canadian won a big battle in the quarterfinals, avenging his 2007 Indy final loss to looker Dmitry Tursunov 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2.
The Canadian drove to the tournament with his girlfriend last week, as he did in '07 when he was a finalist. Maybe this time the headwear will spur him all the way to the top of the medal stand. We sure hope so.
In a white, striped Fila polo looked great with bright red shorts. But how can you not love that bandana? His long locks are tucked in nicely, and Frank seems to be playing with confidence knowing he won't be blinded by all that humidity-induced sweat.

That middle batch of flaked rye looks very suspect, almost molded, hence your nasty flavor?
65 IBU isn't all that high for a 1.085 IPA. My recipe is 1.073 and 75 IBU. I wonder if maybe it's the Nugget? Although the middle pic of the flaked rye doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before.

A Route to a New Negotiating Order in High Performance Work Organizations?Hull Kristensen, Peer (Frederiksberg, 2010)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Contrary to a widely held view, rather than seeing the certification of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) as a barrier to increasing employee participation, this article views new ways of structuring participation as a necessary step towards making improvements in OHS management systems. The article first considers how work organization has changed and then in a similar way traces how bargaining has shifted from being distributive to become integrative to create a fundamental change in the negotiation regime. Finally, by analysing an OHS-certified firm in greater depth, the article shows how solutions for improvements in OHS management and notable bottom-up formulations of OHS benchmarks may help us discover how the organizational form of firms in which high-performance work organization can be developed through new participative structures.

Lessons to be learned from the "hidden" committees of the Nordic Council of MinistersNedergaard, Peter (København, 2006)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In spite of their long history and extensive activities, the international committees of the Nordic Council of Ministers have not hitherto been subject to scholarly examination. This paper demonstrates that valuable lessons can be learned about policy learning in practise and theoretically by analysing the cooperation in the committees of the Nordic Council of Ministers. Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework as the starting point, fifteen hypotheses on policy learning are tested. Among other things, it is concluded that in order to maximise policy learning in international committees, committees should avoid fragmentation into coalitions, be open to public opinion, participants in committees should be driven by a sense of purpose rather that material interest, empirical data should be made available to committees, a neutral presidency should be present in order to act as an authoritative persuader, and neutral scientists should participate, although not necessarily scientists from consultancy firms.

A Time Series Analysis of Eight Sectors, 1984-2012Citi, Manuele; Justesen, Mogens K. (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Over the last three decades, EU regulation of the internal market has become highly pervasive, affecting practically all the domains of European citizens' lives. Many studies have focused on understanding the process and causes of regulatory reform. However, these have typically been small-scale or small-n studies, with no or limited attempts to analyse the more general sources of regulatory reform. In this paper, we focus on the determinants of stability and change in EU regulation. We develop an original dataset of 169 pieces of legislation (regulations, directives and decisions) across eight different sectors, and analyse the dynamics of regulatory reform in the EU. Using time series analysis of count data, we find evidence that the number of winning coalitions in the Council and the size of EU membership have a significant impact on regulatory reform in the EU. However, the political (left-right) composition of EU's legislative bodies has no significant impact on the process of regulatory reform. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8835

A deliverable of the project: "Impact of the Third Sector as Social Innovation" (ITSSOIN), European Commission – 7th Framework ProgrammeBrink Lund, Anker; Lilleør, Anton Sylvest (Brussels, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This report from the ITSSOIN-project contains content and framing analyses of 8463 items on third sector activities sampled from the year 2013 in leading national and regional newspapers from nine European countries, posing the research question: How are third sector activities and social innovation framed by European news media? The analysis is one part of the deliverable D2.3 'Images of the Third Sector' of the ITSSOIN project. D2.3 has been conceptualised to evaluate perceptions of media and citizens attitudes towards the third sector. Both perspectives are published as distinct and independent papers. Readers also interested in the citizen perception find more insights in the publication 'Empirical analyses of citizen perceptions of the third sector in Europe'. The introduction (section 1) demonstrates that little relevant media research has been published specifically on third sector activities related to social innovation policy and civic engagement. Consequently, it is argued that more empirical research is urgently needed, and that a framing perspective, drawing upon the growing literatures of agenda-setting and diffusion of innovation, is particularly relevant for studies of this kind. The media content analysis (section 2) summarizes the major trends in mediated discourse on third sector activities in the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom 2003-2013. These tendencies are related to social innovation policy streams documenting that the latter is covered to a minimal extent. In all the countries under study, journalism tends to neglect innovative performances by the third sector. In so doing, mass media may not directly influence public opinion by telling people what to think, but rather indirectly by indicating to the decision makers what (not) to act upon. The framing analysis (section 3) indicates that third sector activities – in marked contrast to business and politics – do not have high priority as a news reporting beat in their own right. The third sector is primarily mediated with localized references to specific organizations and individuals performing advocacy and services provision on a non-profit basis. In the relatively few instances where social innovation policy in a more general sense is related to the third sector media coverage, the reporting is overwhelmingly loyal to government views. Four hypotheses are tested (section 4) showing that the press framing of the third sector is generally positive. It is also demonstrated how social innovativeness is less pronounced in press coverage than other civil society values, e.g. voluntarism and civic engagement. Most of the press coverage is consensus-oriented leaving little room for anti-establishment frames. Especially after the financial crisis of 2008, "volunteering" and "civil society" have become political catchwords regarded by governments as well as journalist to be universal solutions to social problems. Finally, an affinity between the media framing of different third sector fields and civil society roles is indicated. Advocacy is particularly emphasised in relation to environmental sustainability and community development. Service provision is stronger in relation to social services and healthcare. Please note that the study is explorative rather than explanatory in scope. Accordingly, we advise caution in drawing general conclusion from the limited amount of data available (section 5), and call for more empirical and comparative research involving a broader variety of media platforms, including electronic- and social media.

Mediating Private Capital with Public Values: The Everyday Politics of Mortgage Bond Systems in Denmark and the U.S.Seabrooke, Leonard (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Quasi-public institutions are significant but unsung players in the contemporary international financial order. What can be understood as quasi-public institutions (QPIs) have been created by states or private associations to provide a means of mediating private capital with public value, typically attracting domestic and international investment in order to foster and further a domestic agenda that has strong support from the broader population. As such they fit awkwardly with common perceptions of the international political economy as dominated institutions that reflect either state or market interests. QPIs do both and have emerged as institutional responses to domestic crises that then go on to have a role in shaping the world economy. QPIs that issue collaterized securities from mortgage credit, be they public or private in origin, reflect this institutional form given that their purpose is to bring together private capital and public value. This purpose also makes QPIs sensitive to everyday politics, given that they were created to reflect a broad social purpose rather than only elite interests. This article discusses the development of QPIs for mortgage bonds in a liberal market economy, the U.S., and a coordinated market economy, Denmark. I suggest that QPIs' values have been challenged by de-regulatory and re-regulatory trends in recent decades. I suggest that QPIs call upon us to question how we identify actors in the international financial order as either public or private, and the importance of everyday politics in fostering institutional innovations that have significant knock-on effects for the world economy.

Resume: This article discusses how institutional competitiveness and multinationals are mutually enriching concepts. Seen from the perspective of Multinationals, institutional competitiveness becomes expressed at two levels. At the level of corporate HQs institutional competitiveness proves itself by forming firms capable of expanding internationally. At the level of subsidiaries as providing institutional back up for these firms' abilities to fight for survival and growth within the frame of rivalling subsidiaries of the MNC. The article discusses at these two levels the comparative institutional competitiveness of Liberal Market Economies and Coordinated Markets Economies under the current competitive regime.

How? How much?Nedergaard, Peter (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Mutual learning among the Member States is the primary purpose of the employment policy of the European Union. The two most important questions in this regard are how learning occurs and how much learning takes place. In this article I argue that the existing analyses of the effects of learning in the European employment strategy have been either determined by the sender's interests or have underestimated how mutual learning between countries takes place. In stead the article develops a constructivist approach to learning and uses it to generate some concrete hypothesis about when learning in committees is most likely to take place. Afterwards, this constructivist approach is used to analyse the institutional framework surrounding the European employment strategy in order to evaluate whether the potential for learning is optimal. Finally, the article concludes that even though some basic premises for learning is fulfilled, the potential for mutual learning could and should be increased by implemented at range of concrete institutional reforms. Firstly, a range of professional and autonomous sub-committees which reports to the EMCO should be established. Secondly, the EMCO should be given more time to discuss the national action plans in meetings which more loosely defined agendas. Thirdly, the cooperation should be concentrated around the areas where the differences in terms of policy performances among the Member States are greatest. Fourthly, the president of the EMCO should be given a more prominent role at the expense of the Commission. Finally, the members of the EMCO should to a higher extent come from the directorates in the Member states rather than the minister's departments. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7332

Resume: This paper is about Poulantzas, historical materialism, international relations, and the current crisis. My purpose is to discuss how some Poulantzian theoretical contributions can be applied to the study of subject matters that are the focus of academic fields such as International Relations (IR), International Political Economy (IPE), International Politics, World Politics and others. I deliberately abstain from singling out any of these disciplines or fields or labels and from trying to define them precisely, because one of my arguments is that historical materialism (HM) is a research program2 that contains its own theoretical definition of the object under study. This object, with inspiration from Poulantzas' notion of the imperialist chain and his general theory of society, I will define as the global social formation or for short, world society.

Resume: New and more complex partnerships are emerging to address the sustainability of natural resource use in developing countries. These partnerships variously link donors, governments, community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), business, certification agencies and other intermediaries. High expectations and many resources have been invested in these initiatives. Yet, we still do not know whether more sophisticated organizational structures, more stakeholders involved, and more advanced participatory processes have delivered better sustainability outcomes, and if so, in what sectors and under what circumstances. To fill this knowledge gap and build capacity in this area, the NEPSUS research and capacity building project assembles a multidisciplinary team to analyze sustainability partnerships in three key natural resource sectors in Tanzania: forestry, wildlife and coastal resources. In each of these sectors, we assess whether co-management with local communities and private and civil society actors, and putatively more participatory processes in the governance of renewable resources, result in more equitable and sustainable livelihoods and environmental outcomes. We compare 'more complex' partnerships to relatively 'simpler', more traditional top-down and centralized management systems, and to instances where sustainability partnerships are not in place. This working paper tackles the main conceptual, methodological and research design issues arising in this effort. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9548

A Revised Note on Understanding Institutional ChangePedersen, Ove K. (, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This is a slightly revised version of an article I published in 1991 (Ove K. Pedersen, 1991, "Nine Questions to a Neo-Institutional Theory in Political Science", Scandinavian Political Studies, vol. 14, no. 2, p. 125-148). The purpose of the article 16 years ago is the same as the purpose of presenting this note today - to point to a number of methodological and theoretical problems which have to be discussed in connection with a theory of institutional change. No analytical approach for the study of institutions will be presented. No description of actual institutions or institutional change will be given. Rather, nine philosophical-methodological questions rarely raised and never answered in institutional theory will be asked. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7754

En strategi- og ledelsesmodel for selveje i en offentlig kontekstHøjlund, Holger; Biil, Charlotte (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Vellykkede reformer forudsætter, at velfærdsinstitutionerne samarbejder med forældre og civilsamfund – og med hinanden. Det er en pointe, vi gerne vil have frem i denne inspirationsbog, som baserer sig på både forskning og praktisk erfaring. Der kommer løbende reformer på velfærdsområdet, og det er en enorm udfordring for både kommuner, institutioner og civilsamfund at følge med i omstillingsprocesserne. Samtidig er der værdier på spil, som gerne skulle udmøntes i praksis. Den sidste store skolereform på daginstitutions- og skoleområdet stiller skarpt på behovet for at tænke nyt. Hvordan omsætter vi samarbejdsværdier i bæredygtige løsninger? Det fortæller denne bog om med det formål at inspirere med en model for velfærdspartnerskaber. Et velfærdspartnerskab er et fleksibelt redskab for lederen, der ønsker at åbne sin institution op for omgivelserne. Modellen tager afsæt i et samarbejde mellem en gruppe selvejende daginstitutioner, tre kommuner, forskere og andre aktører. Findes der en sikker opskrift på samarbejde? Måske i det perfekte kærlighedsforhold, hvor parterne kender ethvert ønske hos hinanden. Eller måske i magtrelationer, hvor den ene part er dominerende og egenrådigt sætter retning. Anderledes er det i de fleste andre relationer, hvor det som bekendt ikke altid er lige let. Med denne bog vil vi inspirere til kunsten at samarbejde. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9172

Rocha, Robson (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The analysis in this paper concerns how national institutions impact the implementation of occupational healthy and safety management systems (OHSMS) in different types of market economies. The main objective is to show how variation in national institutional frameworks influences the implementation of OHSMS, and thus, relative performance. There are two main conclusions. First, dominating organisational templates and co-operative industrial relations structures allow firms from coordinated market economies (CME) to more effectively implement OHSMS than those from liberal market economies (LME) which are embedded in adversarial industrial relations. Secondly, due to differences in the institutional framework among countries, the mechanisms of enforcement for OHSMS need to be designed in different ways. The article contributes to the literature by showing that the implementation and functioning of OHSMS are mediated by the different institutional logics in which firms are embedded.

Et essay i forbindelse med fagbladet Folkeskolens 125 års jubilæum.Pedersen, Ove K. (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Lærernes fagblad Folkeskolen fylder 125 år. Tillykke med det! Hermed kan vi fejre et af de mest citerede fagblade, som udgives af en af de mest indflydelsesrige, danske interesseorganisationer, og samtidig en af de vigtigste af alle faggrupper, nemlig folkeskolelærerne. Først af alt kan vi dog fejre den danske folkeskole. Uden den, ingen lærere, og uden lærere ingen forening og intet medlemsblad. Sammen med fagbladet Folkeskolen kan vi derfor også tillade os at fejre skolen; også selvom det er usikkert hvornår folkeskolen opstod, og hvorfra den skal dateres. Opstod den med kirkeordinantens om "børneskoler" i 1539, med anordningen om "almueskoler" i 1814, eller med lov om forskellige forhold vedrørende folkeskolen i 1899? Svaret er ikke ligegyldigt, men irrelevant i denne sammenhæng. I dette bidrag skal jeg hylde Danmarks Lærerforening, dets medlemmer, og deres fagblad, og jeg vil gøre det ved at påstå, at der er ét forhold, som i alle bladets 125 år og i alle DLF's 134 år har optaget medlemmerne mere end noget andet - og det er folkeskolens formål. Folkeskolen fik sin første egentlige formålsparagraf i 1937, men lang tid før var dens opgaver fastsat ved ordinants, ved forordning, anordning eller lov. Det er derfor også ved sådanne bestemmelser, at skolen har fundet sin berettigelse og lærerne deres mission. Ligesom det er ved sådanne bestemmelser, at lærerforeningen har defineret, hvad der udmærker dens medlemmer, hvad der gør dem til en særlig profession, eller giver dem deres kaldelse.

The Open Method of Co-ordination and the Analysis of Mutual Learning Processes of the European Employment StrategyNedergaard, Peter (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The purpose of this paper is to address two normative and interlinked methodological and theoretical questions concerning the Open Method of Coordination (OMC): First, what is the most appropriate approach to learning in the analyses of the processes of the European Employment Strategy (EES)? Second, how should mutual learning processes be diffused among the Member States in order to be efficient? In answering these two questions the paper draws on a social constructivist approach to learning thereby contributing to the debate about learning in the political science literature. At the same time, based on the literature and participatory observations, it is concluded that the learning effects of the EES are probably somewhat larger than what is normally suggested, but that successful diffusion still depends on a variety of contextual factors. At the end of the paper a path for empirical research based upon a social constructivist approach to learning is suggested. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7364

Consensus, Experientiality and Network Centrality in Transnational GovernanceFolke Henriksen, Lasse (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: When experts with diverse training and experiential backgrounds come together to make binding decisions they face the challenge of finding common ground in the absence of any particular shared abstract body of knowledge or organization specific set of evaluative principles. How does consensus emerge in situations marked by contentious friction? Network theory suggests that connectivity enables orchestration of alignment and coordination across difference. Occupants of strategically central positions in networks can thus be formally identified from the structural characteristics of those positions (White et al. 1976; Burt 1992, 2010; Vedres and Stark 2010). But the formal characteristics of positions only tell us about the potential advantage of occupants. Actual advantage is about mobilizing action from network positions to influence what goes on in the network (Burt 2010, 223ff). What does it take for occupants of advantageous position to take action on specific collective problems in the face of contentious situations? URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8924

Entrepreneurship, Intrapreneurship and Public PolicyBorrás, Susana (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Organisations are crucial elements in an innovation system. Yet, their role is so ubiquitous that it is difficult to grasp and to examine from the perspective of public policy. Besides, links between the literature at firm and system levels on the one hand, and public policy and governance studies on the other, are still scarce. The purpose of this paper is to define the conceptual background of innovation policy in relation to the role of organisations in general, and entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in particular. In so doing, this paper aims at making three contributions. Firstly, it distinguishes between different types of organisations in the innovation system, a crucial topic in understanding innovation dynamics and blurring borders. Secondly, it identifies the organisation-related bottlenecks in the innovation system, and examines the policy instruments to solve them. Thirdly, it discusses the limits of public policy and suggests introducing a wider governance approach. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9312

Competency and Change in Public Sector Work PracticesHull Kristensen, Peer; Bojesen, Anders (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper invites to discuss the processes of individualization and organizing being carried out under what we might see as an emerging regime of change. The underlying argumentation is that in certain processes of change, competence becomes questionable at all times. The hazy characteristics of this regime of change are pursued through a discussion of competencies as opposed to qualifications illustrated by distinct cases from the Danish public sector in the search for repetitive mechanisms. The cases are put into a general perspective by drawing upon experiences from similar change processes in MNCs. The paper concludes by asking whether we can escape from a regime of competence in a world defined by a rhetoric of change and create a more promising world in which doubt and search serve as a strategy for gaining knowledge and professionalism that improve on our capability for mutualism.
