OXFORD, Miss. (Reuters) A Mississippi couple, accused of seeking to join the militant Islamic State group on a planned honeymoon trip, remained in custody on Tuesday after being denied bond in federal court.
LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) Anjem Choudary, well-known for praising the Sept. 11 attacks, was accused of using lectures published online to encourage Islamic State support.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Islamic State militants have systematically destroyed dozens of ancient temples, shrines, manuscripts, statues and carvings in northern Iraq.
(REUTERS) Archaeologists compare the assault on Nimrud to the Taliban's destruction of Afghanistan's Bamiyan Buddha statues in 2001. But the damage being wreaked by the Islamic State to ancient monuments and places of worship is even more relentless and wide-ranging.

College Credit
Did you know that some of the best college classes you can take are available to you in high school? They're called "A.P." or Advanced Placement classes.
One factor that makes AP classes so valuable if you're a college-bound high schooler is cost. Because, while there may be a small fee charged to test and earn credit for taking them, by passing just four AP courses, you can potentially eliminate an entire semester's worth of college requirements.
That could mean wiping out a semester's worth of college tuition and living expenses – which, at a top private college could mean saving $10,000 or more.
Getting high scores on AP tests can also increase your chances of receiving merit or non-need-based financial aid from many colleges. So think "AP" in high school and get ahead in college.
In April 2010, it was designated a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. Redlands is among just three other colleges or universities in California to receive this designation.

Application Security, Inc. (AppSecInc), the leading provider of database security solutions for the enterprise, today announced that TeamSHATTER researchers, Esteban Martinez Fayo, Martin Rakhmanov and Qinglin Jiang, have been credited by Oracle for discovering and reporting the single security issue fixed in the Oracle Database and nine out of 14 security issues fixed in Oracle Enterprise Manager in the January 2013 Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU). TeamSHATTER researchers have been credited for reporting vulnerabilities in 30 of the 33 Oracle CPUs since the program's inception in 2005.
The January 2013 CPU contains a total of 86 security vulnerability fixes across multiple Oracle products; 45 of the fixes in this CPU are for vulnerabilities that are remotely exploitable without authentication. The CPU contains one database fix and 14 issues fixed in Oracle Enterprise Manager. The database issue and nine of the Oracle Enterprise Manager fixes are credited to TeamSHATTER.
The database vulnerability that was fixed is in the Spatial Component of the Oracle database. It allows for a full server takeover and should be patched immediately. If it is not needed, removing the Spatial Component is a potential workaround. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.0.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager vulnerabilities include flaws that allow an attacker to affect the confidentiality and integrity of the database. The CVSS scores range from 4.3 – 7.5. An analysis and recommended call-to-action for the database vulnerability and the Oracle Enterprise Manager vulnerabilities is available here: http://www.teamshatter.com/
"Oracle is making a concerted effort to fix security vulnerabilities across the product line. The one database-specific fix has a CVSS score of 9.0, making it very high-risk, and customers need to deploy patches ASAP," states Esteban Martinez Fayo, researcher with TeamSHATTER. "And, even though the fixes in Oracle Enterprise Manager are not as high of a risk (CVSS scores range from 4.3 – 7.5), 14 fixes is a high number that should be deployed so organizations are not left open to attack."
This Critical Patch Update also contains 18 new security fixes for Oracle MySQL. Two of these vulnerabilities allow for a complete takeover of the database and the hosting server, and the other two vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password. It is extremely critical to apply these patches to any MySQL installation.
The TeamSHATTER vulnerability knowledgebase is the largest and most up-to-date offering of its kind. By identifying and remediating critical database vulnerabilities, TeamSHATTER helps to ensure that AppSecInc customer data is safe from internal and external threats.
AppSecInc supports every Oracle CPU by updating its market-leading solutions, AppDetectivePro for auditors and IT advisors and DbProtect for the enterprise with the appropriate scanning checks and monitoring filters through its monthly ASAP Update™ (Application Security Automatic Protection) process. DbProtect updates will include monitoring filters for the new security vulnerabilities, enabling customers to protect sensitive information during the deployment of new patches across their database infrastructure.

Testing the conveyor-belt hypothesis
The study by Tang and his colleagues sought to test an alterative means of bacterial dispersaltheir "conveyor-belt" hypothesis that bacteria might also be able to move upward, against gravity and across stratified density boundaries, by hitching a ride with the many zooplankton species that migrate from the depths to the surface each day with the setting sun. Their idea requires that bacteria not only climb aboard the upwardly migrating zooplankton, but that they later disembark in surface waters. Another possibility is that zooplankton eat the bacteria, and later egest them unharmed.
Tang says that intermittent or permanent stratification due to differences in temperature and salinity is common in many water bodies, whether they be lakes, coastal bays, or the open ocean. Stratification occurs frequently in Chesapeake Bay and other estuaries when relatively fresh river water forms a layer that floats atop the saltier, denser seawater entering the estuary's mouth.
To test their hypothesis that bacteria might be moving between water masses by hitching a ride on "water fleas" like Daphnia, the researchers filled a series of graduated cylinders with fresh- and then salt-water to form a stably stratified water column, then added bacteria labeled with a green fluorescent protein to the lower layer and kept the top layer bacteria-free.
The researchers then added Daphnia to the cylinders and used a directed light source to manipulate their swimming direction. (The species of Daphnia they used instinctively move toward light.) By alternating the position of the light every 2 hours for 8 hours, the researchers were able to make the water flea swim up and down across the stratified water column several times, and followed the rate at which bacteria were transported upward. A cylinder with bacteria but without Daphnia served as the control. Afterward, the experiment

COSTA MESA, Calif. — Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, one of the GOP's earliest champions of marijuana legalization, says his party should field a presidential candidate who will support states' rights to legalize pot.
Mr. Rohrabacher insists he has not touched marijuana since he was 23 and says he isn't advocating its use.
But he said the federal government should not be in the business of deciding the issue and that the argument should be a central part of a broader Republican push to empower states, with an agenda that also includes scrapping the Department of Education.
SEE ALSO: Bill would loosen medical marijuana restrictions in D.C.
"I think we ought to look for a presidential candidate who will make that part of his message," the 13-term California Republican said. "Just transfer it all to the states. Now this government would have nothing to do with education, and how about, from now on, drug laws are considered criminal matters, which is what our Founding Fathers had in mind, and that is up to the states."
He said it's an issue his former boss, President Reagan, would have embraced.
"In about half of Ronald Reagan's speeches, look real close and you see him saying, 'Our goal is not to put people in jail' — and I wonder who worked with him on the speech?" he said, alluding to his role as speechwriter in the Reagan administration.
"Reagan did not want to put people in jail," he said. "He did not want to militarize our county in order to stop people from smoking weed.
"He oversaw the greatest reduction in the use of illegal drugs than any other time period, and it had nothing to do with enforcement. It had everything to do with 'Just Say No,'" he said, alluding to the 1980s ad campaign that was part of the "war on drugs." "It was cultural messaging. That is what made the difference."
Mr. Rohrabacher made the comments as the Republican Party and the country as a whole shift stances on legalization.
In a March poll from NBC News/Wall Street Journal, more respondents said tobacco, alcohol and sugar are more harmful to health than marijuana. The Washington Times/Conservative Political Action Conference poll this year found that a plurality at the grass-roots gathering thought marijuana should be legalized.
Mr. Rohrabacher has been at the forefront of that push for years.
In 2005, he joined Reps. Ron Paul, Texas Republican, and Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat, and television talk show host Montel Williams, who has multiple sclerosis, at a press conference in Washington to call on the federal government to stop interfering with states that have medical marijuana laws on the books.
He also pushed to bar the Department of Justice from using federal tax dollars to arrest and prosecute physicians and pharmacists in states, including his home state, that had approved medical marijuana.
Mr. Rohrabacher now is sponsoring the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2013, which would end the enforcement of federal marijuana laws in states that have legalized marijuana for either medical or recreational purposes.
The proposal has been bottled up in the House.

Our new Eastside Campus location is now open! We have moved from Bellefield Office Park to the Bellevue downtown area, just a few blocks from the Bellevue Transit Center along I-405. The new space has been completely renovated to meet student needs and to fit the way our faculty members teach these days. The new address is 200 112th Avenue NE, Bellevue and we had our official opening today.
It is the first day of classes for the Fall, 2015 quarter, and the first class at the new Eastside campus will take place this evening! We are really looking forward to life in the new facility.
We had a formal ceremony this morning to mark the occasion, with Fr. Sundborg and Provost Crawford offering remarks. Fr. Sundborg did the formal ribbon cutting, along with our Eastside Coordinator, Susan Early.
We would like to thank SU Facilities for a great design and build out, especially Steve De Bruhl, and Meriwether Partners for getting us a great location and lease, especially David Rothrock!
We are starting the fall quarter with the largest undergraduate class we have ever had, and our graduate enrollment is up notably from a year ago! Congratulations to our staff and faculty members for the successful work they have been doing to increase enrollment!
Here are pictures from the Eastside campus, including some of the signage in the entry way and the four classrooms at the new facility.

From August 19-24 I did a quick trip to India to visit the Xavier Labor Relations Institute (XLRI) in Jamshedpur, India. XLRI is a Jesuit university in India that offers only graduate business programs, both at the master's and doctoral levels. It has a strong reputation in the country, consistently appearing in the Top Five of business school rankings, but is less well known outside of India. The purpose of the visit was to assist them with their effort to obtain accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), an accreditation held by 750 business schools around the world, including the Albers School.
XLRI got its start in the 1940's when Tata Steel asked the Jesuits to provide training to its managers on improved labor relations. Tata was a company ahead of its time in terms of how it viewed the role of business in society and how workers should be treated as a precious resource. The early leaders of XLRI were Jesuits from the US, but over time Jesuits who are Indians have gradually taken over the reins. A few of those early Jesuits, now in their 90's, still live on the XLRI campus and I was able to meet them!
Jamshedpur is literally a Tata company town known for its steel mills. It is also a town that is hard to get to, as it does not have commercial airline service. To get there, I had to fly to Delhi and take a flight from Delhi to the city of Ranchi. Then you take a daunting car ride from Ranchi to Jamshedpur. Most of the way it is a two lane highway with your driver constantly angling to pass the next car or truck and duck in just in time before oncoming traffic. The drive is an important part of the Indian experience and hard to fully describe. It's best to sit in the back seat and stare out at the countryside and not watch the road!
Most of the distance from Ranchi to Jamshedpur shows evidence of building a four lane highway between the two towns, but it is a work in progress and no segment has actually been completed. The locals say the expanded highway has been under construction for four years and because of corruption progress has been slow. At the same time, there were a few segments of the journey when we drove on private toll roads. These roads were well maintained and not very crowded, and show that India is more than capable of taking on its infrastructure problem, but there just does not happen to be a toll road for the drive between Ranchi and Jamshedpur! :}
June 23rd was a Sunday, so I attended the 8:30 AM mass at the campus chapel. I had been told earlier that almost all the XLRI students and staff are Hindus, so the fact that there were only about 75 in attendance was not surprising. But about half way through the mass, I realized that the last time I was at a mass in India, Mother Theresa was there! This happened in 1997 when I was a faculty member at Creighton University and helping to lead a study tour to India. Back then, there were not a lot of Americans going to Calcutta, but those that did talked about attending the early morning mass at Mother Theresa's mission, and sure enough, when we did, she was there and we were fortunate enough to visit with her afterwards! Ironically, the priest saying the XLRI mass referenced Mother Theresa's early morning mass attendance, noting that when asked about it, she replied that if she did not check in with the Lord every day then her work would "just be social work."
While it was the monsoon season in India, most of the time the sun was out and they reported it had been a weak monsoon year. Naturally, it was much more hot and humid in Jamshedpur than in Seattle, but one seems to spend enough time in air conditioned buildings and cars that it does not make much difference. The only time it rained was on the drive back to Ranchi as my trip was coming to a close, and that was intermittent and caused no problems with the driving.
The flight from Ranchi to Delhi proved to be interesting. As we approached Delhi, the pilot announced the presence of thunderstorms and we would have to do 15-20 minutes of circling until the storms cleared. The air was very rough and we did a lot of bouncing around, and after an hour we were still circling, but suddenly we were making an approach and all of the sudden we had landed. Then the pilot announced that all the other planes that had been circling ran out of fuel and had to be diverted to other locations, and if we had missed our approach, we would have had to do the same. That would not have been good, because then I would have missed my flight to Frankfurt!
On the flight from Ranchi, I met Sakshi Singh Rawat, the wife of M.S. Dhoni, the iconic cricket player and current India national team captain. Prior to my trip, I did not know anything about Mr. Dhoni, but while at XLRI they proudly talked about him since he had grown up in Ranchi. According to the London School of Marketing, he is Number Nine among the world's most marketable sports stars, ahead of Ronaldo and Kobe Bryant, for example. Despite the global celebrity status, they still choose to live in Ranchi rather than Delhi or Mumbai or any other large city. (Ranchi is not a big city by India standards, with a population of less than one million). By the way, although she is a seasoned traveler, Mrs. Dhoni thought our bumpy ride was the worst she had ever experienced!
Once in Delhi, I needed to transfer from the domestic terminal to the international terminal, which is normally a ten minute taxi ride. Unfortunately, because of the huge storm and resulting flooding, traffic was a disaster, and it took over an hour to make the transfer. Luckily, there was plenty of cushion built into the schedule and I had no trouble making my 2:30 AM flight to Frankfurt and back to Seattle!
On August 26
, I met with a group of MBA students from Yuntech University in Taiwan. The students were on campus as part of a two week study tour they are participating in that is focused on Seattle. The group is staying is staying in our dorms, eating in our cafeteria, and meeting in our classrooms while they are in town. An important part of their trip is visiting Seattle based companies such as Starbucks, Costco Wholesale, Expeditors International, Boeing, PACCAR, and Microsoft. I provided them some information about Seattle University as well as about the economy in our region.
I asked them what their observations were about their visit so far, after having been here for three days. One observation was that people are very nice, stopping for them at corners and crosswalks. I noted that this was very unique to Seattle and in the rest of the country drivers only stop at stop signs and stop lights. You risk your life if you go to another part of the US and expect drivers to stop for you. They will not unless the sign says to!
They also observed that home construction was very different. In their country, homes are built with brick construction, but they had not seen this here. I indicated that I actually lived in a brick home, but we no longer use bricks much because they do not do well in earthquakes and we are all waiting for the next earthquake!
A student said they had seen very few African Americans thus far in their visit, and had expected that they would see more. I replied that the African American population is only 7% of the Seattle population, but there are predominantly black neighborhoods just South of campus and also East of campus. I explained that 20 years ago the surrounding community was much more African American, but through a process of gentrification many families have been pushed out to other communities, particularly South toward the airport.
The students were also struck by the size of US college campuses. At their school, their campus is pretty much one high-rise building, but they had visited the University of Washington that morning and were amazed by the size of the campus and all the green grass. While smaller, they were also impressed with the size of our campus. In terms of controlling the cost of higher education, I would bet their campus is more effective in that regard! :}
A disproportionate number of students were wearing Converse Chuck Taylor high tops, so I took the opportunity to provide them some history, namely when I was growing up, one had four options when it came to buying athletic shoes - Chuck Taylor white high tops, Chuck Taylor white low tops, Chuck Taylor black high tops, and Chuck Taylor black low tops - and that was it! Compare that to the selection of brands and styles available today for athletic footwear! (There were also Keds, but Keds were not cool, so they were not really an option.)
Finally, the students wanted to know how our students went about finding jobs after graduation. Beyond doing well in their coursework, I mentioned the importance of internships and participating in extra-curricular activities, since that made one a more rounded person. Communication skills and the ability to work with others are also important things employers look for. Given the nodding of heads, it seems it works the same way in Taiwan!
After our meeting, the students went to Safeco Field to see the Mariners play the Oakland A's, with King Felix on the mound, and fortunately the Mariners treated them to an 8-2 victory!
We are moving our Eastside campus and very excited about our new location! The build out of the new Eastside Campus location is moving along very nicely, and we are projected to be moved out of Bellefield Office Park and into
200 112th Avenue NE
August 31st
. However, due to the need for testing airflow, lighting, etc… we don't expect to have full occupancy until
September 14th
. That will be in time for fall quarter classes! The 112
Avenue location is just south of the NE Fourth Street I-405 overpass and south-bound on-ramp.
The new facility will have a layout specifically designed to meet our program needs, as opposed to the Bellefield facility that was always a poor match for us as a facility. The new Eastside campus also is conveniently located near the Bellevue Transit Center, so it will be much easier for students and staff to use public transportation to travel to (including the Eastside Light Rail once it is in place).
Below are a few pictures of the new location - the SU signage facing north toward the I-405 NE 4th Street overpass and on-ramp, one of the 50 parking spots assigned to SU, and an interior classroom shot showing that we are still in the remodeling phase. All these were taken on August 6th during a walk-through tour.
One thing is certain - this will be a huge improvement over the Bellefield location! This is very exciting news for Albers and SU!

The 21st annual International Association of Jesuit Business Schools (IAJBS) World Forum took place July 19th to 22nd in Montevideo, Uruguay, with Universidad Católica del Uruguay hosting the event. There were 240 participants representing
49 universities
23 different nations
. The theme of the conference was Leadership and Innovation for a Sustainable World, and the agenda included a number of panel discussions and paper presentations. For example, Marinilka Kimbro, Assistant Professor of Accounting in the Albers School, presented a paper with a Corporate Social Responsibility theme - "Standardized Matching: Collaborators and Commonalities for Global CSR."
IAJBS convenes this meeting every year, and it is good opportunity to meet and interact with Jesuit business school deans from outside of the US. Schools from Spain, Latin America, Korea, the Philippines, and India participate in significant numbers. Every other year, the meeting is held jointly with Colleagues in Jesuit Business Education (CJBE). This was a year for a joint meeting. CJBE is more faculty focused than IAJBS, which is more focused on deans and other administrators.
This year I talked to a number of schools who are interested in student exchange agreements, and a few schools are interested in 3+2 programs built around some of our master's degrees. In 3+2 programs students earn an undergraduate degree and a master's degree in five years rather than the normal six (four years of undergraduate study followed by two years of work on the master's degree). With affordability becoming a bigger and bigger issue for private higher education, we have to find ways to add more value to what we charge for, and programs like this are one way to do it (we also need to do more of this with our own SU students - and you will be seeing more of it!).
I participated in a panel discussion, serving as a commenter for a presentation by Dr. Stephen Fox, Professor of Organizational Learning and Leadership at Queen Mary University of London. He was advocating for more "learning by doing," which is definitely the trend in business education. His views also align with the practices of Ignatian Pedagogy, something close to home to the audience, with its emphasis on Experience and Reflection.
During the business meeting of IAJBS, it was announced that the next meeting will take place outside Nairobi, Kenya in July, 2016. The theme will be emerging economic trends in Africa, with an important part of the meeting devoted to discussion of the Jesuit initiatives in Africa around establishing business programs on the continent. There are nine different initiatives in play, including one along the Rwanda-Burundi boarder that we have discussed contributing to. The 2017 meeting will take place at the University of Namur in Belgium, which is the last remaining Jesuit university in Europe outside of Spain. Namur is heading up the Rwanda-Burundi initiative.
Several IAJBS representatives were at the recent Jesuit university presidents meeting in Australia. They reported with great pride that IAJBS was called out as the most effective Jesuit affinity group operating on a global basis. While we tend to think of ourselves as a shoe-string operation, and focus on all the things we could do but do not do, it is nice to get a more positive perspective from others!
I've served on the IAJBS Board of Directors since 2011, and at the meeting was appointed Vice-president and President-elect for 2015-16, with the expectation that I serve as President in 2016-17. No doubt they were running out of options to get to my name! It does mean I need to make plans to go to Kenya in 2016 and Belgium in 2017! Let's hope IAJBS survives my time in office and makes it to 2018! :}
Dave Tinius has been a member of our faculty since 1971 and retired at the end of this academic year. Dave was a Professor of Accounting and instrumental in the founding and building of our accounting program. The program has come a long way while Dave has been at SU, where today it is ranked as a Top 20 program by
US News and World Report
Dave served as department chair for 18 years between 1977 and 2003, so no one has had more to do with the advancement of the program than Dave Tinius.
Dave is responsible for many of the distinguishing features of our Department of Accounting. He founded our Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) chapter back in the 1970's, and today it has received Gold Chapter Awards for the last four years (awards that go to a few of the top chapters in the nation). BAP is the accounting academic honorary, and Dave not only was critical to the development of our campus chapter, but in the 1980's he was highly active in BAP at the national level, serving on the Board of Directors and as BAP National President. It was a critical time in the history of BAP, as there was a move to make BAP more dominated by the major accounting firms as opposed to a balance between academe and industry. Fortunately, for thousands of accounting students, the latter approach prevailed and the distinctive professional formation that BAP promotes continues to this day.
Dave was also critical in establishing the Accounting Awards Banquet, which recognizes our outstanding accounting students and just celebrated its 43
year, making it one of the longest on-going traditions at SU (see my blog on My 30
for more information on this tradition!).
Dave was also involved in the founding of the Accounting Associates, which then because the Department of Accounting's advisory board. The board has been a vital source of support for the department for many years, and the department would not be where it is today without the assistance of the board.
Other important accomplishments over the years included the founding of our Volunteers in Tax Assistance (VITA) program and our Master of Professional Accounting (MPAC) program. The former assists hundreds of low income households with their federal income tax filing and garners them several hundred thousand dollars in tax benefits and savings. The latter is one of our Top 20 programs!
And then there is the Pacioli Society. This was an initiative to recognize the 500
anniversary of Luca Pacioli's publication of a treatise on double-entry bookkeeping. This was an extraordinary undertaking led by Dave and colleagues Bill Weis and Chauncey Burke. The Society produced a video, held international symposia in Italy, and published a new translation of the treatise, among other things, but perhaps the Society's proudest moment was the appearance of its story on the front page of the
Wall Street Journal
, later to be included in the anthology, "Dressing for Dinner in the Naked City and Other Tales" from
The Wall Street Journal's
"Middle Column." It also spawned a series of study tours to Pacioli's birthplace, Sansepolcro, Italy, which took place every summer for many years.
On June 30
we held a gathering to honor Dave's many contributions to Seattle University and the legacy he has created through his work with our students and alumni. Family, friends, alumni, and colleagues gathered at the La Spiga restaurant, with the Italian theme an appropriate reminder of Sansepolcro.
A number of colleagues stepped forward to offer commentary at Dave's expense. Barb Yates, Professor Emerita of Economics, fellow department chair, and frequent collaborator on the Sansepolcro trips, noted Dave's persistence and determination, his attention to detail, his "suave" way of proceeding, and his ability to not only dream big, but to make those big dreams happen.
Bill Weis, once an accounting professor working with Dave in the Department of Accounting, but now Professor of Management, filled in some of the history, including Dave's impact on BAP at the national level, as well as important details about the Pacioli Society. In particular, he assured the audience that when the impending anniversary was discovered by Bill, and the brainstorming got going, it was all in good fun and not meant to be serious. Except Dave took it seriously, would not let go of it, dragged everyone into it, and the rest is history! Bill finished out by naming Dave the "Pacioli of the Seattle University accounting program!"
Others spoke of Dave's integrity and honesty, his leadership ability and critical role in building up the accounting department, and his care for others.
Throughout the evening the name of John Moga kept coming up. John, a SU accounting alum and Managing Partner for Arthur Andersen in Seattle for many years, is a longtime supporter of our accounting program. He provide critical support to our fledgling program, including convincing Fr. Bill Sullivan, SU president at the time, that it would be ok for the department to receive financial support from the accounting community. If Dave was the academic leader of our accounting program, John Moga was the equally important professional community leader!
Thank you, Dave Tinius, for everything you have done for Seattle University and the Albers School, especially for your critical role in building up our outstanding accounting program!
This year was the 13
year of the Albers Executive Speaker Series. The series brings top business leaders from the Puget Sound and elsewhere to campus to speak to SU students.
This year is also the 35
anniversary of the
Puget Sound Business Journal
. To mark the occasion, the
identified the 35 most influential business leaders in the Puget Sound over the last 35 years.
While the speaker series does not go back 35 years, it is interesting to see how the two lists overlap. It turns out that fourteen of the business leaders identified by the
have also participated in the speaker series. This includes Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz (#4 on the
list), Costco's Jeff Brotman and Jim Sinegal (#7), former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (#9), and Bellevue real estate developer Kemper Freeman (#10).
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz at the Albers Executive Speaker Series:
Just about every speaker has proven to be a good role model
for Albers students and a leader you want to expose students to! One exception to that would be Kerry
Killinger, former CEO of WAMU, who was #13 on the Journal list. Remember the list is identifying influential
leaders, not necessarily admirable leaders or leaders who did not lose their
way. Killinger spoke in May, 2003, long
before the demise of WAMU and arguably before the organization started to stray
from a sustainable path.
Some people on the Journal list have spoken more than once –
that would include Howard Schultz, Jim Sinegal, former Alaska Air CEO Bill Ayer
(#16), Phyllis Campbell (once as CEO of the Seattle Foundation and once as Vice
Chair with JP Morgan) (#20), and #32 Sally Jewell (as REI CEO). Alan Mulally (#15), who recently retired as
CEO of Ford Motor Company, is scheduled for his second visit in October. The first time he spoke he was CEO of Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. Schedule for
April, 2016 for the first time is Richard Barton (#11), founder of Expedia and
Others that we have been fortunate to have in the series
include PACCAR's Mark Pigott (#23), Tomio Moriguchi from Uwajimaya (#24), and wireless
guru John Stanton (#29).
I often tell students and parents that Seattle is a great
town for a business school to be in.
What more proof do you need than the Albers Executive Speaker Series and
the great business leaders our students get to hear from!

Franklin hires town managerWritten by Holly Kays
- Macon man celebrates 85th birthday with Grand Canyon hike
- Reducing their footprint: Smokies unveils new energy-efficient equipment
- Lawsuit filed against former tribal leadership
- Jackson passes climate change resolution
- Taking on the challenge: Bridges balances career and motherhood as casino executive
After a closed session Monday, the Franklin Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to give Interim Town Manager Summer Woodard a permanent place in town hall. Woodard, who has been acting as town manager since Warren Cabe resigned in May, now has the job for good.
"We were unanimously very pleased with her work," said Alderman Barbara McRae. "She is very qualified and has been an employee for years."
Woodard, a Franklin native, received a master's degree in public administration in 2010 and has worked for the town ever since, including serving as assistant to the town manager under three different managers. As a student, she did an internship that gave her experience working in every town department.
The board voted to award her the same contract they signed with former manager Warren Cabe, an annual salary of $85,000. They did not go through a search process for the position, agreeing that Woodward was highly qualified and up to speed on everything happening in the town.
"Since she proved herself, why go through the expense of a major search when we already had a viable candidate in-house?" asked Mayor Bob Scott.
As part of the same discussion, the board also did some shuffling of positions in town hall, with the moves expected to save about $25,000. Woodard told the board she did not need an assistant but did not want to serve as human resources director, since that could cause a conflict of interest.
"If you get into a conflict with an employee and the HR director decides something, the employee should have the opportunity to appeal," McRae said, "and if the town manager and the HR person are the same individual, there's nobody that you can appeal to."
The board gave the human resources job to Chad Simon, who has been working in the front office for several months, splitting the HR job with the town clerk position. Janet Anderson had been doing that job in addition to her responsibilities as finance director but now is continuing solely as finance director.
"The town has grown and we have to look periodically at positions and how we can operate more efficiently," Scott said.

In 2001, Marco pursued his dream and started his own business with his brother Mimmo and two others.
Acclaimed bassists all over the globe have used Markbass amplifiers to wow the crowds with their sound and tone. Craig Young (Elton John, Megadeath); John McKenzie (Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, David Bowie); and Bob Daisley (Ozzy Osbourne) are among the bassists who use Markbass amps.

Sure, they've been chummy over the years. But come Feb. 12, Tina Fey and Betty White will become competitors as they vie for the 2012 Grammy Award for best spoken word album.
Both actresses earned Grammy nominations Wednesday night for narrating the audiobook versions of their memoirs – Fey, 41, for Bossypants, and White, 89, for If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won't).
Both women, of course, have been nominated for – and won – a number of Emmys, but these are their first Grammy nods.
