Intellectual Property and Information Technology Due Diligence in Mergers and Acquisitions: a More Substantive Approach Needed*
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DUE DILIGENCE IN MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: A MORE SUBSTANTIVE APPROACH NEEDED* Martin B. Robins† I. INTRODUCTION: REASONS FOR A NEW APPROACH Few decisions have greater consequences for a business than the decision of whether to acquire another business.1 In today’s world, one of the key determinants of a business’s value is the value of its intellectual property (“IP”) and information technology (“IT”).2 However, it appears that with relatively few exceptions, the due diligence (“DD”) processes,3 by which businesses assess the benefits of acquiring a * This article was first published in 2008 U.

Life at War and the Heroic Illusions Created to Cope with War: A Study of Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien By Gaye L. Allen A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Liberal Studies written under the direction of Professor Richard M. Drucker and approved by ________________________ Richard Drucker Camden, New Jersey May 2011 i Abstract of the Thesis Life at War and the Illusions Created to Cope with War: A Study of Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien By Gaye L. Allen Thesis Director: Professor Richard M. Drucker This thesis will examine the fictional war novels, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane and Going after Cacciato by Tim O‘Brien. It will examine the heroic illusions created by soldiers on the frontline as psychological coping mechanisms as a means to escape the realities of war. It will also examine how Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien create protagonists and characters that struggle to understand the conflicts within themselves as consequences of their developing point of view toward themselves, their war comrades, and their society‘s values and how each of these writers through observing battlefield experience comes to question the meaning of war and its effects. Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien investigate the moral and cultural values of their respective societies. Crane portrays the Victorian era O‘Brien examines1960‘s America. Each novel asks us to view their war with both irony and sympathy.

25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Faces of Product Pleasure: 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions Pieter M. A. Desmet Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands The study of user emotions is hindered by the absence of a clear overview of what positive emotions can be experienced in human- product interactions. Existing typologies are either too concise or too comprehensive, including less than five or hundreds of positive emotions, respectively. To overcome this hindrance, this paper introduces a basic set of 25 positive emotion types that represent the general repertoire of positive human emotions. The set was developed with a componential analysis of 150 positive emotion words. A questionnaire study that explored how and when each of the 25 emotions are experienced in human-product interactions resulted in a collection of 729 example cases. On the basis of these cases, six main sources of positive emotions in human-product interactions are proposed. By providing a fine-grained yet concise vocabulary of positive emotions that people can experience in response to product design, the typology aims to facilitate both research and design activities. The implications and limitations of the set are discussed, and some future research steps are proposed. Keywords – Emotion-Driven Design, Positive Emotions, Questionnaire Research. Relevance to Design Practice – Positive emotions differ both in how they are evoked and in how they influence usage behaviour. Designers can use the set of 25 positive emotions to develop their emotional granularity and to specify design intentions in terms of emotional impact. Citation: Desmet, P. M. A. (2012).

Executing Risk-Based LUST Site Closures in R10 Indian Country
UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 10 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 900 Seattle, WA 98101-3140 OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT Reply To: OCE-082 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Executing Risk-Based LUST Site Closures in R10 Indian Country FROM: Rob Rau, Ground Water Unit TO: Interested Parties Purpose and Statement of Problem: The purpose of this memo is to provide guidance in executing risk-based leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site closures in Region 10 Indian Country based on human health considerations. It is also intended to promote a consistent decision making process that can address unique site considerations and circumstances. Closing LUST sites that do not meet lookup cleanup concentrations may range from the use of formal risk assessment procedures with the imposition of institutional controls such as deed restrictions, to making a best professional judgment determination that a site does not pose an adverse health risk based on the evaluation of a conceptual site model developed from site-specific data. With this understanding, Region 10 recognizes that between a clean site closure and a comprehensive site-specific risk assessment there is a continuum of activities that could comprise a risk-based closure strategy. In general however, more robust and thorough scientific site evaluations are always preferred, and it is generally not appropriate to close a contaminated site that does not meet cleanup standards simply because it is “good enough” or because it is not practical to do more cleanup. Since few risk-based LUST site closures have been completed at EPA-lead sites, and many questions remain regarding technical implementation and policy decisions, this memo should be regarded as a “living” document, and reevaluated and updated regularly as additional policy decisions are made both regionally and nationally.

Our Intentions Core Values: COURAGE, REVERENCE And
When We Meet Again April 2021 The Board and staff team are beginning to imagine the time when opening the building and grounds to on-site gatherings might be possible again. Beginning in April, we will hold several congregational gatherings, with Board members facilitating break-out groups, to gather questions and ideas from members and friends. We will also gather questions and ideas from key committees. Responses from these gatherings, and from the Protocols Advisory team, together with resources from the Mn. Dept. of Public Health, the UUA and other sources, will guide staff in their recommendations to the Board through the summer and beyond. ________________________________________________________________________________ Our Intentions to shape an evolving plan for gradual return to on-site activities as soon as possible, with input from the Board, lay leaders/committees and the congregation at large to ask the Protocols Advisory Group to guide each step of the plan to gather a technology team to enable possibility for each step of the plan to expect policy, guidelines and clear expectations to be owned and articulated by the Board, and to be implemented by staff Core Values: COURAGE, REVERENCE and COMPASSION We treasure embodied, in-person relationships and engagement. We are mindful not only of Covid’s physical dangers, but dangers of isolation to emotional and mental health. We endorse and will follow the best research and best practices of science. We will center the most vulnerable and those most at risk. We will care for our members of all ages, and for the wider community (the common good). We commit to justice and equity, mindful that access to adequate healthcare is uneven in our society: what feels “safe” to some may be dangerous to others.
