Spindleruv Mlyn: Resi Stiegler excited to be back on snow{mosimage}Resi Stiegler is back in action, on the mend from a complicated ankle and shin injury that has kept her out of World Cup competition so far this season. The 2005 Sprint/Ski Racing Junior of the Year raced in the giant slalom at Spindleruv Mlyn, Czech Republic, on Wednesday, but failed to qualify for the second run.
"I just wanted to get my first race over with, and get that out of the way," said Stiegler, who will also race in Thursday's slalom, her favorite event. "It's not that bad. It's going to be more painful when I take the boot off and it swells up."
Stiegler can make a pretty solid claim to having had the worst case of "shinbang" on recent record, having suffered the injury while training in Soelden, Austria, just before the October season opener.
"Most doctors told me they had never seen an injury like that without a leg break also," said Stiegler, who ruptured the interosseous membrane in her left leg. "It's the ligament that holds the tibia and fibia together." Stiegler said she also suffered from bone fractures in her ankle and heel.
Stiegler got on snow just about a week ago in her hometown of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and trained gates with coach Seth McAdam. "It felt fine," she said. "It hurt, but not too bad."
She got on a plane for central Europe, trained a little near Lienz, Austria, and came to Spindleruv Mlyn, which had never hosted an alpine World Cup race before Wednesday's giant slalom.
"Slalom's the worst," said Stiegler. "GS I'm psyched because it doesn't hurt as bad, but slalom hurts because of the pressure and I'm really hesitant on it."
Slalom is still Stiegler's best event, and she plans to race in as many of them as possible in coming weeks (there are four World Cup slaloms before the Olympic Winter Games: Spindleruv Mlyn, Lienz, Zagreb and Ofterschwang).
Last March, Stiegler and Tim Jitloff were named the 2005 Sprint/Ski Racing Juniors of the Year.

Hey all, I've been given an awesome welder (been researching it on this site and others for a while now) and am interested in getting her fixed up, painted, and in service. The unit was free so I'm able to sink additional capital into it. I was hoping to benefit from the expertise on this forum to complete this project!
photo (2).jpgphoto (1).jpg
Welder Info: Model Aead-200le
Welder Serial: HG028167
Onan: CCKA-MS/2748J
Onan Serial: b760-102942
So far I've added tires, and done everything necessary to get her purring like a kitten. I still need to purchase cables to test the welder but genset seems to be producing to spec using a multimeter (AC and DC).
The issue: the governor shaft is broken flush to the top of the motor and all associated governor parts are missing. The carb linkage is intact but all adjustments have to be made by hand. I'm trying to locate pieces and parts but the governor parts aren't specifically listed in the miller manual, and there are several different types listed in the Onan manual.
I'll post pics as I go, I've started with some ebay parts I'm hoping i can modify to work... but if someone had a working unit similar I could "copy" the dimensions and fab my own parts (with the exception of the governor shaft.)

Will call Miller Tomorrow...
Thanks, if that's the case this project just got a whole lot easier! Ill give miller a call in the morning and see where it gets me. Using the information on this form I was able to confirm it is an older 200le model made in 1976. I degeased the engine today and am starting to prep the body panels/trailer for paint... She's running great but the "tuna can" mufflers don't do too much for the noise! Do you have any suggestions for "cleaning" inside the generator? It has years of accumulated dust... Not really sure I should even bother. I've already cleaned the slip rings (wasn't initially producing electricity) but I'm hesitant to do anything more than blowing it out with compressed air.

Nobel Son
Drama, Comedy
Barkley Michaelson is in a deep life rut. He's struggling to finish his PHD thesis when his father, the learned Eli Michaelson, wins the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Barkley and his mother, Sarah, a renowned forensic psychiatrist, now have the ill-fortune of living with a man-eating monster whose philandering ways have gotten less and less discreet. As if Barkley's world is not bad enough, on the eve of his father receiving the Nobel, Barkley is kidnapped and the end requested ransom is the $2,000,000 in Nobel prize money. Needless to say, Eli refuses to pay it and so starts a venomous tale of familial dysfunction, lust, betrayal and ultimately revenge. In the words of Michel de Montaigne, the 16th century philosopher: "There is more barbarity in eating a man alive than in eating him dead."

Gallery: San Francisco's Exploratorium Reopens as the Country's Biggest...
When the Exploratorium opened in 1969, it pioneered a new type of interactive science museum that has come to be the norm at museums around the country and the world. Now, the Exploratorium is forging new ground in the realm of sustainability. The new 330,000-square-foot museum will itself serve as an interactive exhibit, educating the public about energy-efficient design. To achieve its goal of net-zero energy, the Exploratorium partnered with Silicon Valley-based solar manufacturer SunPower to offset its 1.3-megawatt solar system to offset the new facility's energy needs.
The new museum, which is being designed EHDD Architecture and GLS Landscape Architecture, will be one of the greenest museums in the country. The innovative new building will feature a bay water heating and cooling system that will circulate about 74,000 gallons of water per hour throughout the facility. The cold temperature of the bay water will be used to cool the building, and for heating it will be passed through electric heat pumps. By avoiding the use of evaporative cooling towers, the system will save an estimated 2 million gallons of water per year. Additionally, rainwater will be collected from the new building's roof to be reused for toilet flushing.
"This project combines an effort to both innovate and think critically about the impact science can have on the world. Our net-zero goal is, in part, a way to reduce our global footprint and help improve the community we've been a part of for more than 40 years," said Dennis Bartels, the Exploratorium's executive director, in a press release. "Net-zero is a process – and an opportunity for the public to learn with us."
Another benefit of the new location is that it's easily accessible by mass transit. Pier 15 is close to the Embarcadero BART station, as well as the ferries that land at the nearby Ferry Building, making it easier for both locals and tourists to visit the museum.

Day 1 La Paz
Arrive in La Paz at any time. Founded by Alonso de Mendoza in 1548, La Paz's proper name is La Ciudad de Nuestra Señora de La Paz (the City of Our Lady of Peace). Although Sucre is the official capital, La Paz is the Bolivian centre of commerce, finance and industry, and the de facto capital. This is a busy modern city, with its centre at the base of a canyon 5 km (3 miles) wide and sprawling impromptu housing all the way up the surrounding hillsides. The city is at nearly 4000 m (13,120 ft) above sea level, so visitors should be prepared for cool evenings and mornings. Explore the city's many fine museums or its historic ecclesiastical structures, such as the Iglesia de San Francisco, whose architectural details reflect the indigenous and mestizo heritage of modern Bolivia. The city is also renowned for its many markets, including the Mercado de Hechicería (Witches' Market), where Paceños and visitors may purchase potions and incantations made from all sorts of herbs, seeds, and secret ingredients to remedy any number of illnesses (real or imagined) and protect from evil spirits. With streets lined with market stalls and vendors, the pace on the street and the vibrant atmosphere is an incredible experience. There is also a thriving black market and a Carnaval market, where locals purchase carnival costumes. You'll also find a wealth of shops selling all sorts of handicrafts, mainly alpaca wool products, silver jewellery, woven textiles and leather goods. Optional activities in La Paz include museums, a tour of the Valley of the Moon, or a visit to the world's highest ski resort, Chacaltaya (5600 m/18,368 ft). To the south of the city is the Valley of the Moon, with crater-like formations made of sand.
Day 2-4 La Paz/Sucre (2B)
Spend the day exploring La Paz before boarding an overnight bus on day 2 to Sucre. Often referred to as Bolivia's White City, the country's official capital, Sucre, is situated at nearly 2800m (9184 ft) and offers its visitors and inhabitants a more moderate, comfortable climate than cities at higher elevation. After getting settled from the overnight bus, we tackle the city as there is a lot to offer during our two days here. Optional activities include a visit to dinosaur footprints, a visit to an old tin baron's mansion, a textile cooperative, mountain biking and hiking. Before the conquest, military, religious and political leaders of the local indigenous population made their homes on the present day city site. The site became the headquarters for the Spanish Royal Court, which by the late 1700s, ruled over colonial Paraguay, parts of Peru, Argentina, Chile, and most of Bolivia. In 1825, in the wake of the Latin American independence movement, the city was renamed Sucre, after Simon Bolívar's second-in-command, General Sucre. The city's fine museums, colonial buildings and ties to the independence movement make it a city of great historical interest. La Paz to Sucre Approximate distance: 416.40km Estimate travel time: 14 hours
Day 5-6 Potosi (2B)
Staying in the Bolivian highlands, we travel south to the city of Potosí. The highest city of its size in the world, this UNESCO World Heritage Site has had a tumultuous history as a silver mining centre during colonial times. Take an option to descend into a working mine for a close-up look at methods basically unchanged in decades, if not centuries. Situated at 4070m (13,350 ft), Potosí is the highest city of its size on earth. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in1987 in recognition of its tragic history in the mining of silver during the time of Spanish colonization. Potosí provided a large share of the silver mined and shipped back to Spain until the early 1800s, when both the supply of silver and world market prices began to decline. Working conditions for miners were appalling, and a large portion of the indigenous population was decimated. African slaves were brought in to replace the native workers, and it is estimated that as many as eight million indigenous people and Africans died in the mines during the first three centuries of Spanish colonial rule. There is time for an optional tour to the working mines of the Mountain of Silver, an eye-opening excursion.
Day 7-9 Uyuni/Salt Flats (3B,2L,2D)
Travel through the Bolivian landscape to the town of Uyuni. Despite its isolation and challenging climate (cold and blustery most of the year), the town of Uyuni has earned the nickname of Hija Predilecta de Bolivia (Bolivia's Favourite Daughter). It is also the starting point for our 3-night excursion through the spectacular Salar de Uyuni (Uyuni Salt Flats) in 4x4 vehicles. Spend three days in the stunning landscapes between the Salar de Uyuni and the Atacama Desert in Chile. The salt flats now cover a total area of over 12000 square km (7440 square miles) and is one of Bolivia's main salt mining centers. Driving across the salt flats is a fantastic experience, particularly for the contrast of piercing blue skies and blinding white salt on the flat lakebed. The area's unusual landscape of mountains, active volcanoes and geysers is like nowhere on earth. Our groups like to get creative with photography, as the endless white of the salt flats creates some great depth illusions that are fun to play with in photos. The tour takes us through the impressive large red lagoon of Laguna Colorada the striking blue-green Laguna Verde at 5000m. The region's volcanic activity is present as we pass by numerous geysers, boiling mud pools, thermal baths and Licancabúr Volcano. Surprisingly, both wildlife and flora manage to survive and even thrive in the desolate landscape; this includes vizcachas (of the rodent family), flamingos and assorted varieties of cacti. We offer unique accommodation on the Uyuni Salt Flats. Instead of very basic refuges and homestays most operators use, we have upgraded to simple hotels that are equipped with solar panels to provide electricity and hot water. Rooms are multi-share and each with a private bathroom. Meals are made from local ingredients, most of which are grown on-site. Note: During the rainy season the locations visited may change due to some routes being covered by water.
Day 10-11 San Pedro de Atacama (1B)
In the morning we take a bus further south to the dry desert regions of Argentina and Chile, where we stop in the little town of San Pedro de Atacama, on the edge of the Atacama desert—the driest place on earth. There are plenty of optional excursions here, like biking, exploring nearby ruins, horseback riding, and a tour of the Valley of the Moon.
Day 12-13 Salta (1B)
We make our way to Salta, situated in the Lerma Valley of northern Argentina. Salta is home to Empanadas Salteñas - the delicious local specialty, and no visit to the town will be complete without giving them a try. In the evening experience the local celebration at one of the "Peña" folklore shows. On Day 13 you will have some free time to explore the area. The scenic Quebrada de las Conchas, and Cafayate, famed for it´s wine and vineyards, are recommended stops. The multi-coloured valleys in the region of the foothills of the Andes are sure to be a highlight.
Day 14 Buenos Aires (1B)
We skip the long journey to the coast, and fly to Buenos Aires, the Paris of the Americas. The capital city of Argentina, Buenos Aires is the ultimate cosmopolitan city. Travellers find that it has more in common with the cities of Europe than the rest of South America. Nearly 40 per cent of Argentina's 33 million citizens live in Greater Buenos Aires, and the Porteños are justifiably proud of their home. The city is comprised of a number of distinct neighbourhoods, some of which have become top tourist draws. For many, the highlight of their time in the capital is a visit to San Telmo for the weekend antiques market and street artistís displays. La Boca was originally settled by the successive waves of immigrants that contribute to the capital's unique character. Its brightly coloured walls and buildings draw Porteños and tourists alike, and it is here that the world-class football team, Boca Juniors, plies its trade. A Sunday afternoon match at the fabled Bombonera is not to be missed. Posh Recoleta, with its cafes, museums and cemetery, is a pleasant place to spend an afternoon. During colonial days Buenos Aires was the seat of the Viceroy of La Plata. Almost completely rebuilt since the turn of the century, the heart of the city is the Plaza de Mayo, with the historic Cabildo (Town Hall), where the Independence movement was first planned, the Casa Rosada (Government Palace) and the Cathedral where San Martín, the father of Argentine independence, is buried. When you are done exploring, settle your weary feet and enjoy a drink in one of the many sidewalk cafes and restaurants and you will begin to understand the contemplative Argentine way of life. Try the succulent bife and parrilladas! Please note: You should be especially careful when wandering about the capital city on your own, particularly at night. Tourists are easy prey for individual pickpockets or groups of two or more people working as a team on the streets. Pay particular attention to anyone who 'accidentally' spills anything on your clothes or belongings (mustard, etc.) and then apologizes and offers to help clean up. They will clean you out instead! Be safe and leave your passport, credit cards, travellers cheques and cash funds you won't be using immediately in the hotel's safety deposit box. Most Porteños are honest and genuinely helpful and friendly, but be safe and enjoy the city!

Jay Friedlander
Jay Friedlander
Sharpe-McNally Chair of Green and Socially Responsible Business
207-801-5716 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Jay Friedlander is the founder of the Sustainable Business Program and the inaugural Sharpe-McNally Chair of Green and Socially Responsible Business at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. College of the Atlantic has been cited by the Princeton Review, the Sustainable Endowment Institute, Fast Company, The New York Times and others as a leader in sustainability.
As Chair of the program, Jay has developed a sustainable business curriculum focusing on how building social, economic and environmental capital sparks innovation and creates competitive advantage. In addition, to move students beyond the classroom, Jay created a sustainable enterprise incubator fostering growth of traditional and social ventures for academic credit. This unique academic program has attracted the attention of Newsweek, The Chronicle of Higher Education, as well as Ashoka, who selected College of the Atlantic as one of five U.S. Changemaker Campuses in 2009.
Prior to joining College of the Atlantic, Jay was the chief operating officer for O'Naturals, Inc., a natural and organic fast-food restaurant group. O'Naturals was founded by Gary Hirshberg, the CEO of Stonyfield Farm, and board members included Peter Roy, a former President of Whole Foods Market.
O'Naturals received numerous awards for sustainable business and was recognized for its innovative approach by international media and industry leaders. Jay was instrumental in all elements of the start-up, including fundraising, concept development, daily operations and expansion strategy. Under his leadership, O'Naturals developed a franchising relationship with the $19.5 billion Compass Group.
In addition to his start-up experience, Jay has worked with senior executives of Fortune 500 companies. As a strategy consultant he developed and implemented global brand experiences and customer-centered growth strategies for clients including Citigroup and other industry leaders.
Jay has a wide range of work and life experiences. He has served in the Peace Corps in Mauritania; written an ecotourism business plan for a college in Costa Rica; broke fundraising records for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy; counseled Native American students; and taught environmental education.
Jay's honors include being a ceremonial speaker for the Yale and Goldman Sachs Foundation on Non-profit Ventures; presenting academic papers at international business conferences; serving as an adjunct professor in new venture creation at Babson College for over 8 years; and serving as a board member for Maine Businesses for Sustainability.
Jay received his MBA from the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College, where he specialized in new venture creation and graduated Summa Cum Laude, Valedictorian of his class. Jay earned his undergraduate degree in Sociology and Anthropology from Colgate University where he graduated with Honors.
In addition to speaking English, Jay is conversant in Spanish, French and Hassiniya Arabic.
Jay is an outdoor enthusiast and has spent time living and traveling throughout North America as well as Africa, South and Central America, and Europe.
B.A. Colgate University 1990
M.B.A. Olin Graduate School of Business, 1997
Jay holds the Sharpe-McNally Chair in Green and Socially Responsible Business. The Sharpe-McNally Chair in Green and Socially Responsible Business is named for three people whose commitment and dedication of the college has been transformative: Henry and Peggy Sharpe and Jay McNally. Henry is a Life Trustee of the College and owner of Brown & Sharpe, the world's largest metrology group. Peggy has provided volunteer leadership for environmental organizations including The Nature Conservancy and the Conservation Law Foundation. Jay McNally, a COA graduate, founded Ibis Consulting, Inc, a pioneering firm in the electronic discovery industry. The chair was established to help future business leaders leverage the power of environmentally- and socially-focused strategies to bring about positive change in the world, while also gaining competitive advantage.
Courses Taught
HS1025Business and Non-Profit BasicsAnyone who is involved with for profit or non-profit enterprises needs to understand a wide variety of interdisciplinary skills. This introductory course will introduce students to marketing, finance, leadership, strategy and other essential areas of knowledge needed to run or participate in any venture. This course is meant to build basic skills and expose students to a variety of business disciplines and is REQUIRED for all future business courses.
Level: Introductory. Class limit: 18. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
HS1017Creative Destruction: Understanding 21st Century EconomiesJoseph Schumpeter in 1942 used the phrase "creative destruction" to describe the process by which capitalism creates vibrant economic growth and new technologies and modes of production, but in doing so destroys organizations and relationships linked to older technologies and modes of production, often with adverse effects on individuals and communities. Many observers feel that Schumpeter's description is even more appropriate today, as information technologies and the long arm of multinational capitalism create vast new potential for economic growth and improvement in living standards, while rapidly altering social and environmental relationships, marginalizing those communities unable or unwilling to adapt, and exacerbating existing inequalities. This course gives the student currency in the dynamic issues surrounding 21st Century capitalist economies (including "advanced," developing, and robber/crony capitalisms) using an institutionalist approach; as such, the course focuses more on using a variety of approaches to understanding economic phenomena, and less on imparting the standard body of neoclassical theory (although the latter will be used where appropriate). Fundamental capitalistic structures and processes are examined and contrasted with traditional and command economies. Major attention is given to the role of multinational corporations in the global economy. Other topics include technology, stock markets and investing, money and central banks such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, business cycles, unemployment and inflation, trade and currency issues, consumerism and the nature of work, and whatever other topics students collectively wish to explore. Student evaluation is via multiple diagnostic tools, possibly including quizzes, reading questions, a current event portfolio, written book reviews or issue analysis, and oral exams.
Level: Introductory. Prerequisites: none. Class limit: 20. Lab fee:$20. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
Business, like all disciplines, has its own language. Being able to speak the language of business is critical for activists, social entrepreneurs and business owners alike. Financial statements are a key component of this language. These statements measure the fiscal health of both non-profit and for-profit organizations. They provide insight into all areas of the company. They are a powerful tool for determining investments, competitive positioning and have extraordinary impacts on all of an organization's stakeholders. Unfortunately, most people, including many who run a wide variety of organizations, fail to grasp this language. In doing so, they undermine their organization's opportunity for success, as well as create obstacles to using business as a means of social change. Without guidance, looking at these financial statements is similar to examining hieroglyphics for the first time. Starting from a basic level and layering in complexity, the course will seek to demystify these statements in a way that is informative and unintimidating. In addition, time will be spent advancing students' understanding and familiarity with spreadsheets. Topics of the course will include: Creating and analyzing cash flow statements, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, as well as common sized income statements; Differentiating between each type of financial statement; Relating these statements to each other, tying them together and varying statements depending on business models; Comparing non-profit and for-profit financial statements and approaches; Examining key financial ratios and how they are different for different businesses; and Spreadsheet management and design. By the end of the class students will create their own financial statements and analyze a business through various financial statements. This class is positioned within the business program to provide the students' skills for business plan projections, exploring investing, general management, lead
HS5023HatcheryThe Hatchery is applied Human Ecology in action; it offers students a bridge from coursework to actively creating their vision of the future. The Hatchery gives students from across the campus the opportunity to move from ideas to action. Hatchery students work either individually or in teams on a wide array of enterprises. Past projects have included: urban farming; international development; policy and planning; photography and film; alternative transportation; biofuel production; renewable energy; food systems; the arts; furniture production; technology development; social enterprise. Ventures have been for-profit and non-profit, encompassing the range from local businesses to scalable start-ups. Students selected for the Hatchery are required to devote an entire term to launching their venture. Each Hatchery enterprise, whether a team or an individual, must take the course for a minimum of three credits. Along with weekly instructional meetings, students receive office space, supplies, professional services, mentors and potential access to seed capital to develop their ventures. After the initial ten weeks of class, if students decide to continue their enterprises, they have access to the Hatchery space and resources for an additional nine months.
The Hatchery takes place in three phases:
--Application: Students apply for a position in the Hatchery over winter term.
--Rapid Prototype: The ten weeks of the Hatchery course. Students create a rapid prototype to test their ventures in the marketplace. These prototypes vary widely depending on the type of ventures.
--Creating an Enterprise Structure: During the ten weeks of the course, students will have weekly assignments that introduce key elements in an organizational structure and highlight operational considerations that are universal amongst enterprises.
--Development: The following 9-months. Students have access to the Hatchery space and resources to continue developing their enterprises.
Level: Advanced. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor.
HS5034Impact InvestingImpact Investing focuses on the emerging field of impact investing, which seeks to generate returns for society, the environment and financial investors. Impact investing seeks to create avenues for private investment to work alongside existing efforts of NGOs and others to help solve global and local problems. Impact investing can be used to fund solutions in areas as diverse as food systems, climate change, poverty, affordable housing and clean technology among other issues.
This course will examine the strategy of various impact investing mechanisms from crowdfunding to "localvesting." In addition, students will examine case studies to understand the benefits and pitfalls of different strategies and their potential to create social and environmental change. During the course students will learn how to create financial projections and evaluate the financial returns of enterprises. For their final project, students will have to structure an investment platform that generates returns financially, socially and/or environmentally.
Students will be evaluated based on class participation, written assignments and verbal presentations. This course will be integrated with and requires co-enrollment in Energy and Technology and Islands: Energy, Economy and Community.
COURSE LEVEL: Advanced. PREREQUISITES: Instructor Permission and at least one of the following: Math and Physics of Sustainable Energy (preferred), Energy Practicum, Financials, Business Nonprofit Basics, Sustainable Strategies or Launching a New Venture. CLASS LIMIT: 10 COA students and 5 Islanders. LAB FEE: none. MEETS THE FOLLOWING DEGREE REQUIREMENTS: HS
MD5011Islands: Energy, Economy and CommunityThis course is focused on developing initiatives in the renewable energy and finance sectors on MDI and Maine Islands and is being offered in conjunction with the Island Institute and the Samsø Energy Academy in Denmark. This will be a comprehensive, intensive, interdisciplinary course. Students and community members from Maine's Islands will learn from the Samsø Island experience of transforming to a carbon negative island through a community driven, grass-roots approach to create investment opportunities for both individuals and businesses in enterprises that developed and scaled, efficiency upgrades, wind, and solar power production and biofuel distributed heating and other elements of a renewable energy portfolio.
Three weeks of the term will be spent at Samsø's Energy Academy learning the community process, investment and engineering strategies that the small rural farming and tourist community used to transform themselves into an independent energy community and rejuvenate their local economy. The course will push students to identify opportunities within their communities and develop significant energy related ventures accordingly. COA students and island resident participants will use this knowledge to develop plans for adapting and creating appropriate technology, investment platforms or services to reduce energy consumption and to boost renewable energy production here in Maine.
Students will be evaluated based on class participation, written assignments and verbal presentations. This course will be integrated with and requires co-enrollment in Impact Investing and Energy and Technology.
COURSE LEVEL: Advanced. PREREQUISITES: Instructor Permission and at least one of the following: Math and Physics of Sustainable Energy (preferred), Energy Practicum, Financials, Business Nonprofit Basics, Sustainable Strategies or Launching a New Venture. CLASS LIMIT: 10 COA students and 5 Islanders. LAB FEE: $500.
HS4022Launching a New VentureThis course will cover the process of new venture creation for students interested in creating businesses or non-profits with substantial social and environmental benefit. It is designed for student teams who have an idea and want to go through the formal process of examining and launching the enterprise. Topics covered in this course will include: opportunity recognition, market research, creating a business plan, producing financial projections and venture financing. As part of the course, all students will submit their ideas to the Social Innovation Competition. In addition, students will make a formal business plan presentation.
Level: Intermediate/Advanced. Class limit: 15
HS3035Sustainable StrategiesBusiness has tremendous societal ramifications. Inventions and industries from the automobile to the internet impact everything from air quality to economic and political freedom. Entrepreneurs, who are often at the forefront of business and thus societal innovation, are changing the way business is conducted by creating businesses that are beneficial to the bottom line, society and the environment. Through cases, projects and present day examples, the course will challenge students to understand the impact of business on society and the challenges and pitfalls of creating a socially responsible venture. In addition, it will offer new frameworks for creating entrepreneurial ventures that capitalize on social responsibility to gain competitive advantage, increase valuation while benefiting society and the environment. The final deliverable for the course is an in-class presentation in which student teams will either: (1) recommend ways to improve the social and environmental impacts of a company, while increasing competitive advantage and bottom line; or (2) benchmark two industry competitors, a socially responsible company versus a traditional company.
Level: Intermediate. Class limit: 15.

Col. Zadok Magruder High School boys basketball team is the protypical run-and-gun longballers. Its opponent on Wednesday, DeMatha Catholic, is quite the opposite. Their matchup to open the public high school basketball season was basketball's classic speed vs. size.
The Stags boast a lineup with eight players standing 6-foot-4 or taller, including 6-foot-8, 275-pound North Carolina State recruit, BeeJay Anya. The Colonels tallest player, Brian Coleman, is a 6-foot-4 forward-turned center that still finds his way beyond the 3-point arc.
On Wednesday, speed won, 69-65, as the Colonels extended their winning streak to 28 straight games with senior point guard J.J. Epps leading the way with 22 points.
In the game to open last season, DeMatha and its size won easily, thumping Magruder 75-58. That was the Colonels only loss in a season that ended with a victory in the Class 4A state championship game.
"They handed it to us last year and, you know, we got a lot of seniors but our defensive effort was fantastic tonight," longtime Magruder coach Dan Harwood said. "It was a great win and it's good for Montgomery County basketball."
Magruder, even if it took all four quarters to do so, made a convincing argument for its style of play.
First quarter: Split decision.
To the surprise of none, Anya won the jump ball, easily flipping it back to point guard Alani Moore. To the surprise of possibly less, Magruder's second field goal attempt was a Nick Griffin three.
Colonels up 5-0.
Buckets were traded for the remainder of the quarter. Magruder's guards did everything they could to help Coleman and Justin Witmer down low, but it seemed a long-shot that the Colonels would be able to swipe every lob thrown Anya's way for an entire game.
The quarter closed 11-11.
Second quarter: Speed, unanimous decision.
In the early minutes of the second, DeMatha looked ready to steal the show at the capacity gym in Rockville. Corey Henson scored five quick points and Kelvin Howard and Alex Newbold each knocked down a three to stretch the Stags' lead to six.
That's the biggest their lead would be all game. It would be stolen two minutes later.
Epps, who had been nursing a sprained knee since a preseason scrimmage with St. John's College, began to find his shot and his rhythm, and his team followed suit. During the last 5 minutes, 15 seconds of the half, the Colonels buried four threes, added seven more points and took a 40-24 lead into halftime.
"We shoot well, but we usually shoot well when we pass well," Harwood said. "I'd say other than J.J.'s pull-up three, all of our threes were on assists tonight."
In just the second quarter, Magruder outscored the Stags 29-13. On three balls from kickouts.
Third quarter: Split decision.
Epps cooled, Anya began muscling his way inside, the lead shrank.
DeMatha brought it all the way back to within 10 points but the Colonels continued their spread scoring effort — six players tallied points for Magruder in the third quarter — to extend it back to 17 entering the fourth.
Fourth quarter: Speed wins.
DeMatha coach Mike Jones needed to force turnovers. He couldn't do that with size, he needed speed so Anya sat.
"I like when teams press me because that's my strength," Epps said. "I know I'm pretty quick and I can get by most guys so once they press I know that's good."
For awhile, Epps flitted this way and that, keeping DeMatha at bay and the lead comfortable. But soon, Magruder got panicky. Passes were thrown away. Ill-advised shots were taken. The lead dwindled. With 2:40 left, the Stags cut it to within single digits. With 1 minute left, it was a two possession game.
But Matt Ricketts canned a pair of free throws, Tyrii Jackson added one more, and time ran out on the Stags.
It was a lead they couldn't shrink fast enough.
Magruder 69, DeMatha 65
Magruder 11 29 17 12—69

Companies, mainly leaders, need to take a bottom-up approach with employees in order to succeed in future
In the future leaders, managers, marketers, HR will have a different challenge or opportunity with each employee building his/her own brand and amplifying their views in the spheres of influence, these members will find it difficult to 'manage' human resources, they have to start thinking about how to make the company relevant to these resourceful humans so that they embrace the company objectives and convey the messages in their spheres of influence. The tables are turning, companies that are moving away from hiearchy to wirearchy will survive in the future as they will be agile, resourceful with crowdsourced insights.
Apr 9 2013: I believe the connection between the 2, hierarchy vs. "wirearchy" is that one depends on the other until a certain point. There is a level of disconnect at one point or another with the individual who is promoted into the hierarchy from the mass majority or entry level. There is also a level of admiration and drive from the entry level toward the hierarchy until a certain point, in which the driving force now becomes the fuel for himself.
The small group of elite who hold executive positions, subconsciously, along with added responsibility within their position create this environment of inferiority and believe that their talents have gotten them to their position to make the right choices. At some point you believe that your strengths and those of the fellow colleagues in his/her elite group can come together to make the right choices for the company. If you have a group of like minded people with the same responsibility you are not adding variables to your choice making process. In turn you will mostly have the same views and agree with a lot of the same idea's. Although it is their responsibility to make choices, you must also realize that the level of education and idea spread amongst the younger entry level employees are still at a stage being exercised to their fullest capacity.
There will always be the cycle in which one generation is gone, the new will replace. The entry level or "bottom" should be able to openly continue to exercise their creativity amongst the hierarchy. The point is to break the cycle and to create variety in a controlled organization within the company. In no way allowing the bottom to make choices is the answer, but creating a gateway for their ideas to be filtered through and acknowledged is.
There is no point to diminish the 2 way street in which ideas are spread. It is known that the best method of creativity drives the force in innovation which in turn is success.
Apr 9 2013: Agreed, 2 way or multi-way is the future. An example here is what happened at Kodak( http://futuristcmo.com/category/organization-culture/ ) , of course there are many other examples. As human beings we aspire to achieve something and hence have a drive to get there, and during this path we are happy to listen, learn, change. But the moment we achieve something and our credibility increases, we hesitate trying new things, because of the fear of failure and its impact of our so-called credibility.
The other angle to it is the elitism, like-minded group points you mentioned, these aspects give people some sort of comfort in order to shield the forces of change. I strongly believe that in the years to come, investors will not only look at the strength of the management team in order to steer a company forward but also will look at the systems within a company to allow interaction and also employee satisfaction scores. This will have an impact on long term success of companies, companies can no longer push things under the carpet and the same applies to each employee. Collaborate, give credit, own up and deliver - credit hijacking, blame culture, stalling good ideas from colleagues will not work in future.Apr 8 2013: We don't have the kind of leadership to make this happen regretably.
Apr 8 2013: Yes, there is a lot of talk about this subject these days, so hopefully it will make a small difference. Generation Y might be in a better position to do it, but yes currently such leadership seems to be rare.Apr 6 2013: There are so many factors and variables that I am not sure you can say that. Can you say that Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Attila the Hun were failures because they didn't buy into that concept. I have never dealt with a company or whatever that really bought into what we were told would work in B-School. Remember that Stalin had a usable H-bomb before the Great Democracies with all the physicists and great universities. I don't know if Beria was in charge like with their atom bomb. I don't know if they had a list of who to blame or kill if it don't work. There are two ways to motivate people. Only two real ways exist.
Apr 6 2013: Hi George
I like the examples you gave, the type of problems and people mindset many centuries back (Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great...) were so different. Social media and other networking platforms have made people with similar problems connect in mass numbers and the reactions, expectations are so different.
Also in business there is so much information with people in the field/across departments, whereas senior management sometimes miss out on this information if they are not connected well enough internally. I'm not suggesting that this is the case across all companies, but by having a bottom up approach as well, the information flow becomes 2-way. This approach becomes even more critical to survive in the connected media age.
Apr 7 2013: Ramesh I am not disagreeing with what you suggested. I am just feeling that there is not a great deal of listening going on.
Apr 7 2013: I know George, agree that there is not a great deal of listening going on. To a certain level thats a problem that most people have, they talk more than they listen, i guess companies and leaders only mirror this habit.Apr 5 2013: The short answer is you need to have both the bottom up and the top down.
Any organization has to perform certain functions or it will not survive.
Edward Deming was the father of the Toyota manufacturing system and TQM and Lean and indirectly Six Sigma. They are about removing waste from companies process's. Which would include unnecessary levels of management.
At the other end of the spectrum Apple would not have been Apple without Jobs. John Sculley fired Jobs and the company languished he came back and built it into one of the richest company in the world. Walmart had Sam Walton, Ford had Henry Ford who borrowed the assembly line from meat packing plants, Kiichiro Toyoda borrowed many ideas from Ford in Toyota's manufacturing.
I agree bottom up is an imperative.
There have been some tremendous sucess stories of this being implemented in goverment.
Apr 5 2013: Thanks Pat
I agree that it has to be top down and bottom up, considering that top-down is already there, I was emphazing on bottom-up to complement top-down. There are many names in the industry like Steve Jobs, Henry Ford who have built up a company and its reputation, perhaps they wanted to build a great product or company, that's what they are passionate about. Some leaders don't have that intent or capability, they are more keen on building their reputation or short term goals and hence not ready to listen to anyone around them, thereby creating a 'negative vacuum' as I mentioned below.
I believe a bottom-up approach with some voice, can help break through these 'negative vacuum' areas around leaders, which is only good for the company.
Its refreshing to hear about such success stories in government.
Apr 5 2013: There has to be a vision/goal. Managers typically do not have the vision/goal. Anything persistently negative is not inherent in any business management, that is simply not true.
Some of the leaders do cross over from being interested to being interesting which is a problem which can create conflict. The best way to manage anything is by using the scientific method which means managing with metrics. When you do this is removes bad emotion from the process.Apr 5 2013: Again we revisit Marxism where the value of the product is in the craftsmen. Where that may have been true in the 17 and 1800's it is not even a consideration now. The roles of the top and the bottom are nowhere near. At the bottom it may be my task to put in the right taillight ... my supervisor is in charge of all head and tail lights ... his boss watches all lighting interior and exterior ... his boss manages electrical systems ... etc
A CEO meets with finance, personnel, administration, operations, advertising, transportation, etc ..
To the best of my knowledge only Henry Ford and Lee Iacocca were the only two heads of motor companies who ever made or designed a car.
I find it refreshing to watch Under Cover Boss at times. The big cheese goes into the field and the trainer usually says he is not suited to perform the task and would not hire him/her.
It is hard for a boss to hear what they really need to hear ... most tell them what they think he wants to hear. Some bosses are egomaniacs ... would you tell Donald Trump the truth probally not because he is a micromanager with a super ego and in essence you would be telling him he was wrong ... check your resume first.
Industries like armies run on the strength of the first line supervisors and their ability to relate, listen, communicate, and direct the crews. It is these supervisors that must have a line of communications up to decision makers at the production level manager ... it is his/her job to sell it and get it funded.
The additional problem is unions ... any changes must go through negoations. Union had a purpose and were needed early on. They fought management and now unions are mostly management themselves.
Going from the bottom up has proven there is no structure and therefore falls apart rapidly. The bottom cannot fund the operation ... only sees to the product ... lacks marketing ,,, transporting ... etc ...
It has been tried .. and failed.
Apr 5 2013: Thanks for the note, Nice point on craftsmen.
Regarding yout point on Donald Trump and similar people: the issue is that such people create an atmosphere of what i call 'negative vacuum' around them, which is no one dares to bring negative news to them, if they do they either get fried or fired! So over time the real issues are not dealt with and things are pushed under the carpet till its too late or it explodes.
Fro, the bottomup approach i meant, people getting their opinions and issues out instead of being blocked by the 'negative vacuum', they may not be in a position to make the decisions like you mentioned, but tostart with, they should have a voice and that will ensure they get a response.
Yes most of the unions have lost their focus in terms of what they stood for, either management has infiltrated the unions or union top people have been bought out or just acting on their own interests/ short term goals.Apr 4 2013: G'day Ramesh
Good post by the way.......Utterly agree, the hierarchy system has to die out for us to go on &/or for capitalism to work properly in the future.
There is a fundamental problem, we have more highly educated people running the show today who think they know it all because they have some sort of degree, they are not going to want to give up their social status & lower themselves down to a supposed lower class of people.
The strangest thing is we have many more highly educated people with all these degrees running the show but the world is in a bigger mess than it ever has been plus corruption in repent throughout the system & the world, what happened to intelligence?
Any smart highly educated person will do as you say & go the way of wirearchy however I don't think they teach common sense in universities/colleges just egotism & hierarchy. Thank God my stepdaughter had common sense enough before going into uni because she witnessed utter snobbery brought on by egotism & hierarchy at it's worse.
Apr 5 2013: Good-day Mathew, thanks for your post.
I think hierarchy starts at an very early stage in ones life- schools, society, university etc. the problem i have with the education system is it focuses mainly on technical or subject aptitude and not much on attitude thats related to doing things along with others. In my experience Ive seen many partially intelligent people who are good in their subject but cannot stand a difference in opinion and they will just bulldoze through, which is not good for a larger group in order to achieve a common goal, thats why i call such members as partially intelligent!
In my view one good thing that social media has done to generation Y is, they will get used to airing their opinion and the so called negative vacuum will disappear overtime. Of course there is a danger of having too much noise on different subjects sometimes on social media, but I guess it will evolve over time.
RameshApr 4 2013: I believe one could find plenty of evidence that shallow rather than highly hierarchical forms of organization work better in situations in which one needs creativity and flexibility from employees. In many sorts of work, the front line of employees has better information about what those they serve need and what works than do those more distant from the client. Micromanaging professional and creative people is not a good recipe for offering exceptional service.
It seems to me that there was plenty of evidence on this already by the 1960s or 1970s, but I would need to do a literature search to find it.
And with communication being so much easier, coordination and information sharing among employees ought to be easier than it has ever been.
Apr 4 2013: Thanks Fritzie for your comments, fully agree on value of the front line employee point.
Some leaders think they know or should know more than their team members and because of this thought they tend to micro manage or not listen. The impact of such culture on the marketing department is immense as they are responsible for the company image etc, but now things are changing.
Fritzie -
Apr 4 2013: Sometimes leaders do know more about some things, while knowing less about others. But in my experience micromanaging has more to do with wanting to control outcomes or a distrust of employees. Specifically objectives at the top and objectives at the bottom might be different. In the literature I believe this is called "the agency problem."
- +1
Apr 5 2013: Yes, agree that the objectives can be different. Some leaders or organisations have a solution to this, because there is mutual trust, these 2 communities communicate their intent and problems. That makes the other community appreciate the actions and co-operate.
Problem is when a 2 way trust deficit occurs, people dont communicate the objectives or intent, they dont even communicate their actions. People then stumble upon results after its been carried out, then the blame game starts!

Check out Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image
scheme↓ left eye↓ right eye↓ color rendering↓ description↓
red-green pure red pure green monochrome
the predecessor of red-cyan; ghosting on computer screens as the green filter lets too much red through. Used for printed materials, e.g. books and comics.
red-blue pure red pure blue monochrome
no ghosting on screens as there is no overlap between the colors the filters let through. Often used for printed materials.
red-cyan pure red pure cyan (green+blue) color (poor reds, good greens)
patent-free, limited color perception, currently the most common in use; images available in full version (red channel has only red color) and half version (red channel is a red-tinted grayscale image, yields worse colors but less retinal rivalry)
anachrome dark red cyan (green+blue+some red) color (poor reds)
a variant of red-cyan; left eye has dark red filter, right eye has a cyan filter leaking some red; better color perception, can show red hues better than red-cyan
mirachrome dark red+lens cyan (green+blue+some red) color (poor reds)
same as anachrome, with addition of a weak positive correction lens on the red channel to compensate for the chromatic aberration of eyes.
Or transparent gift wrap . The clear colored type that they use to wrap fruit baskets ;-) Both have a perfectly even color . The color wrap comes in rolls at florists . Pretty cheap ! And you could make a few hundred glass lens out of it ! Just need the frames to put the film onto .
There are a few shops and companies who will sell this or send you a pair of cardboard glasses for a self adressed envelope with stamps.
I myself bought 50 glasses since we made a "wedding magazine" for friends that married. We used a graphic program and later some freeware/shareware to convert 2D images of their childhood etc. to 3D cyan/red anaglyph images.
Bas-Relief Demo (demo version but will create anaglyphs without limits, only limited functions for other functions) is great.
Basicly you draw a depth map.
This is done easily in any graphic program.
What I did is that I put the original image in a layer, and created a new layer.
I started with the most close parts and just roughly drew over them with a brush tool. Then I would create another layer and draw over the parts a bit further away, draw, repeat, draw, repeat.
After that I would change the layer transperency to 5-15% and blur the image a bit.
Then BASS will generate the 3D image.
Also a few other tools will create 3D anaglyphs, some even with depthmaps.
I dont recall the names right now, but Annaglyph etc. are usefull tools.
Also you can simply use any graphic application such as PS, PSP or Gimp.
To make 3D you simply split the image color channels and join the red channel of the other image with another.
I found it at the "official" site here:
They also have some hints/tips/guides on 3-D pictures.
Hope it's OK that I post the link here...
its called XenoDream2.2 an its very extencive program thats been out awhile now but does have the ability to do fractals in 3D
