This document provides information about the 59th North Bay Motorcycle Club Championship Enduro to be held on April 7, 2013 at Cow Mountain Recreation Area in Lakeport, CA. Riders can pre-enter by March 29th for $60 or post-enter for $65. The event will have a 350 rider limit and start at 8:00 AM with rider registration and a meeting at 7:00 AM. Riders must have a current AMA or district membership card to participate.
This document describes research applying techniques from program analysis to automatically infer properties of code in the Maple computer algebra system. The researchers developed abstract interpretation frameworks tailored to Maple and used these to gather constraints about Maple code and values. By analyzing the entire Maple library with this approach, they were able to infer simple but useful properties, like type information, for parts of the library. This demonstrated the potential of applying formal methods to understand and reason about large, dynamically-typed code bases.

Trust in current suppliers can act as a barrier to the adoption of new products. The study examines how trust affects the diffusion of an innovative floor drain product among plumbing companies. Companies that trusted their existing suppliers showed less interest in information about the new product and were less likely to purchase it once available. Entrepreneurs from less trusted groups, such as African Americans, found it particularly difficult to overcome barriers caused by supplier trust. The findings suggest that trust confers competitive advantages by slowing the spread of new ideas and protecting incumbent suppliers.
The document proposes reformulating laws of fluid mechanics to analyze financial cash flows and market liquidity. Specifically:
1. Laws of conservation of capital, cash flow rate, and cash return rate are modeled after laws of hydraulics and aerodynamics to quantify market dynamics.
2. A "cash flow rate of return budget equation" is proposed to measure transfers of cash returns between investment scales, akin to turbulence transfers in fluids.
3. Measuring an index's "coefficient of illiquidity" demonstrates applying fluid mechanics concepts to term structure analysis.
This document discusses alternative approaches to reciprocal tariff liberalization in international trade negotiations. It describes how negotiations under the WTO allow flexibility in reducing tariffs on a product-by-product or general formula basis. Sectoral approaches are also discussed, including negotiating access to certain sectors or negotiating bilateral access across sectors. While sectoral approaches can efficiently reduce high tariffs, they may favor developed countries' export sectors and result in an initially lower level of welfare.
This document discusses the role of competition policy in promoting growth and jobs in the EU. It argues that competition policy can contribute substantially to the EU's growth and jobs strategy by removing market restrictions and excessive market power. The document outlines how the Commission is taking a more proactive approach to competition policy by advocating for competitive markets, conducting sector inquiries, and screening legislation for potential competition issues. It also discusses the Commission's tools to intervene in national markets and address international competition issues.
This document is a consulting agreement between Accelerated Sciences Corp. and Medior Entertainment Group. Accelerated Sciences owes Medior $140,000 for prior services and retains Medior as a non-exclusive advisor for 4 months. The agreement outlines how the $140,000 will be paid based on financing amounts Accelerated Sciences receives, with full payment due by June 30, 2002 if certain financing thresholds are not met. It also covers expense reimbursement, termination terms, and confidentiality.
The document summarizes an undergraduate research experience program focused on automotive manufacturing systems at Auburn University. It describes how the program was developed in response to growth in the automotive industry and related employment opportunities in the southern US. It hosts 10 engineering students each summer who work on research projects related to the automotive industry. The program aims to provide research experience and encourage students to pursue advanced degrees and careers in engineering. It also aims to recruit a diverse group of students from different universities.
The document discusses alternative approaches to reciprocal tariff liberalization that have been used in past multilateral trade negotiations. It describes three main approaches:
1) Sectoral approaches where countries negotiate liberalization either on a selective product-by-product basis or within identified sectors.
2) Across-the-board approaches using tariff reduction formulas to lower all tariffs according to a pre-specified formula. Formulas discussed include percentage cuts and cuts proportional to initial tariff levels.
3) Balancing liberalization based on tariff revenue forgone to account for differences in initial tariffs and country size. However, this may not be as efficient as it implies lower cuts on higher tariffs.
This document summarizes a study examining how US banking deregulations in the late 1970s through early 1990s affected entrepreneurship and industry structure. The study uses establishment-level Census Bureau data to analyze how deregulations impacted entry rates, entry size distributions, and survival rates of firms. It finds that deregulations reduced financing constraints, particularly for small startups, and improved allocative efficiency. However, deregulations also led to a dramatic increase in "churning" among small, new entrants, with most failing within three years. This highlights how financial reforms can "democratize" entry by allowing more startups, even if most eventually fail, with a few surviving to displace incumbents through creative destruction.
The MPC5121e is a multi-core processor from Freescale that provides a computing platform for embedded applications. It uses an e300 core running at up to 400MHz with integrated graphics, display control, and networking capabilities. The processor is well-suited for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications requiring an LCD interface.
