Lasagna is something of a Christmas tradition in Tim's family, and meaty tomato sauce is one in mine, so last weekend we combined the two for a meaty, cheesy lasagna good enough for a festive family gathering on Christmas Day. We spent most of the afternoon making it---first the sauce and then assembling the lasagna layers---and probably only 20 to 30 minutes sitting down to eat, but the added blessing the prep process gave us was stories of Tim's childhood and memories of my grandma, the kinds of things that come up when you smell tomato sauce cooking on the stove. My grandma died in 1999 and Tim's mom in 2002 but I swear when we are chopping garlic and boiling noodles, there's this undeniable comfort that comes from the familiar scents and sounds and flavors you once shared with someone who is now gone. Maybe this is the whole point of traditions, holiday or otherwise: we're creating landmarks for ourselves so that someday, when we're far away from this place or that person, we can … [Read more...]
Ricotta Pear Stacks
Buckwheat Crepes with Honeyed Ricotta and Sautéed Apples
Good morning, guys! Well, I say good morning, but, technically, it's about 11 AM over here at my parents' place on the day after Christmas. While I am freshly showered, I am also typing these words from bed, so morning seems appropos. This is a lazy morning, the kind with little on the day's docket, the kind that define the term "holiday" to me. I love mornings like these---slow breakfasts, unhurried schedules, time to sit and think. And I figure as long as I'm sitting here thinking about mornings from here in my old room, now might be a good time to talk about Megan Gordon's new breakfast book, Whole-Grain Mornings, and about the first recipe Tim and I made from it: buckwheat crepes. … [Read more...]
Homemade (Einkorn) Ravioli with Sundried Tomato, Capers and Ricotta — Made with a Food Processor!
The exclamation point at the end of this post's title is a little gimmicky, I know. But if there were ever a time to use an exclamation point in a post title, this is it. As soon as I saw this post at The Kitchn about making homemade pasta in the food processor, I was curious. As any Italian grandma would tell you, pasta-making traditionally involves very specific rules, from the mounding of the flour on the counter to the setting the eggs in the center to the incorporating everything into a workable dough. If the process could actually be as simple as a few minutes in a food processor, why wasn't everyone doing it that way? Was this a gimmick or a trick? I'll admit I was skeptical, but since The Kitchn rarely steers me wrong, regularly pointing me to such interesting resources as a simple sourdough starter, cool kitchen designs and a reminder about a Samoa popcorn recipe I have got to try, I figured this concept was worth a shot. That very day I saw the piece, I pinned the article, … [Read more...]
Einkorn Cannoli Cupcakes
When I was a kid, my parents would dart around the house in the final moments before company arrived, lighting candles, cleaning bathrooms, setting appetizers out just right. You could feel the energy in the air in those almost-game-time minutes---a sort of nervous, happy energy---something greater than the sound of my mom's boom box playing its background harps or violins. When the doorbell rang, my dad would rush to the door, opening it proudly, beaming, welcoming guests inside as he took their coats and greeted them, motioning my brother and me to come say hi. Then, my mom would emerge from the kitchen, winded but obviously delighted at whatever was in her hands, prompting oohs and ahs and questions from the ones who'd been invited to come. Each one meal and its accompanying conversation would take two or three---maybe four or five with particularly talkative friends---hours before dishes were being cleared and the food getting wrapped up and people's coats being pulled back out to … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Stuffed Peppers
Like businesses, music, vacations and books, most meals begin as ideas---but as ideas that come more quickly down the mental conveyor belt than sonatas or summer getaway plans. A conversation at the office jogs a memory of Grandma's butter cookies, and the kitchen finds you rolling dough; a blog post inspires dessert and you're beelining for the pantry; or, unexpectedly on a weekday afternoon, a hunt through the refrigerator, opening drawers and crispers, fills your hands with bright red peppers and cauliflower and recalls a possibility you'd almost forgotten---and then, that quick, momentary thought, incubated right away in discussion and action, becomes a recipe you test twice in one week with your husband, the two of you lost together in discovery, in watching the abstract become something you hold in your hands and eat. … [Read more...]
Carrot Risotto (or, choosing whom you cook with)
My brother hasn't been in the car with us twenty minutes before I hear him say something in passing about a spring pea risotto he's tried the week before, and before I can stop myself I'm exclaiming, "Risotto! I want to make risotto! How do you do it? Was it hard?" Then, to Tim, "Remember our carrot risotto in California?" That risotto we'd had at La Bicyclette, the highlight of our meal and maybe our entire trip, was the kind of entrée you never forget, so even though I ask him, I know Tim knows it, too: a carrot risotto so creamy and buttery, so cheesy and comforting, so beautifully bright orange the way things hardly ever naturally are, that I heard at least three other bloggers say they would tackle this recipe when they got home. Of course, I wasn't one of those bloggers saying I'd make it later, just so we're clear. I responded by saying how much I liked it, how warm and savory and amazing it was, but I didn't dream of going home and trying it myself because, … [Read more...]
The Perfect Crustless Quiche
February 17 was a big day for my family this year. Not only was it my mom's birthday, but it also was the first time they came to visit Nashville. Ever! And while I've been wanting my parents to visit ever since I first moved last February, I'll be the first to admit that in the valley of a few weeks ago, it felt a little impossible. So I'm thankful to say that in fact, we had a busy four days, filled with many moments where I'd look at Tim and say, I'm not in pain!, amidst marathons of Downton Abbey, antiquing in Franklin, a visit to the gym and grabbing them Olive & Sinclair chocolate-dipped popsicles at Hot and Cold. It all started when they arrived early Friday morning, having braved a 6 AM flight to get here, and so we had a birthday breakfast waiting---and the star of that show was this quiche. Here are the reasons I like this quiche: 1) You don't have to make a pie crust. It's not that I have anything against pie crust (especially not this foolproof one!); it's just that … [Read more...]

Will xanax show up positive on a urine test?

Answers (3)
Thank you. I had a old script and a new job. I will see my Dr. Thank you very much.
As long as you can prove you have a script you should be ok for a pre-employment drug screen. No worries! Most pre-employment screens are looking for illegally obtained drugs. If a Dr has prescribed them, it is ok unless you are trying to get a DOT job and arent allowed any medications that alter your ability to drive. They will just either call the Dr who prescribed or the pharmacy to be sure you have a legit Rx. Good Luck!
Thank you.

Volunteer in Laos
Discover the ancient country of Laos when you volunteer with GVI on critical community development projects throughout the city of Luang Prabang!
Although tourism has picked up in Laos over recent years, it is still one of the poorest countries in the world and is largely an agricultural country. By volunteering in Laos with GVI, you can contribute to sustainable projects that aim to have a long-term impact on the lives of local community members and their futures.
Spend your gap year, career break or volunteering holiday exploring a land rich in culture and ornate temples, as you make a difference teaching English to young Buddhist monks or volunteering with children on a variety of childcare initiatives.
Have a look at these 10 Awesome Things To Do In Luang Prabang.
GVI has been operating volunteer projects all over the world for the past 14 years, and our projects in Laos are no different. We are proud of our approach of establishing long-term and sustainable projects, in which the local community is always consulted first and foremost in order to determine their needs. With the contribution of volunteers, we work together in partnership to achieve these goals.
OUR PROGRAMS IN Laos
Volunteer with Buddhist Novice Monks in Laos
Program Type
2 - 24 weeks
Price from
"It was an amazing experience. To be able to interact with young novice Buddhist monks and know that you are actually making a positive impact on them seems almost a little surreal at first but then becomes so common place that it takes a moment when one grasps you on the arm and says "You are a very good teacher" to bring home exactly what you are doing.
But that is only a small part of it. The people that I met are what really made the Laos project something that will have a special place in my heart forever."- Greg Wright - Australia
Women's Empowerment Project in Laos
Program Type
4 - 12 weeks
Price from
"The entire experience was amazingly rewarding. All the students I had the pleasure of interacting with were hardworking, dedicated and so appreciative of the work we were doing. Although I was only on the program for a month and had no previous teaching experience, I felt that I was able to play a real part in improving the life opportunities of the students I worked with. I would encourage anyone wanting to make a positive impact while travelling or wanting to experience a culture beyond the tourist experience to seriously consider a project with GVI. My only regret is that I did not stay longer."- Patrick Rose - Canada
Childcare Expedition in South Asia
Program Type
12 weeks
Price from
"Volunteering with the GVI team has been a great way to learn more about the incredible work that GVI guys are doing every day. It is a wonderful way to stay connected and learn about ongoing social and environmental projects and helping GVI amplify the work done by change-makers internationally"- Sam Wattson - United Kingdom
Volunteer with Children in Laos
Program Type
2 - 24 weeks
Price from
"One of the things I love about Luang Prabang is that you can walk everywhere. It's a small and beautiful town and the Lao sense of community really gives it a small-town feel. Everywhere you go you see people you know: students, teachers, volunteers, ex-pats, vendors, the family from the guesthouse. And of course the ubiquitous novice monks with their umbrellas to shade them from the sun."- Amy Dillon - Canada
Teaching Internship in Laos
Program Type
24 weeks
Price from
"Beautiful jungle foliage reaches up from the numerous gardens and from both river sides. Colourful blossoms and rich fragrances. Coconut palms and bananas…but, probably the most memorable aspect is the hundreds of saffron robed novice Buddhist monks to be seen wherever you look. Teaching them is such a pleasure. Typical of Lao people, they are humble and mild mannered and learning English is so important to them. Being amongst them, teaching them, just being here is a wonderful calming experience. None of us want to leave."- Richard Fawcett - United Kingdom

Research Institution:
AbstractThe proposal describes a miniaturized tunable filter technology for wideband tuning in the 500 MHz to 3 GHz bands. The filters use a novel actuator to achieve a combination of wide tuning range and high-Q of the resonant elements. The filter technology can be integrated into a small surface mount package, as described in the proposal. The technology is a major step for reducing the SWAP of front-end filters used in JTRS radios. BENEFIT: The proposed miniaturized, tunable filter technology can be used in a wide range of military and commercial radio hardware operating in the 500 MHz to 3 GHz bands.

21 reviews | 3.5 out of 5
Assembly went just as described--good instructions. You'll need a helper for a couple of steps of the assembly to hold the top. The plastic used for the box is softer than I expected--it doesn't like the warm sun. Despite the hinge locks, the top sags and droops while open, making it difficult to load. Once closed and latched, the box seems to hold its shape okay. Mounting to my vehicle's roof rack was straight-forward, though the u-bolts near the hinges were tough to get to and tighten down, expecially with the top sagging. Recommend you use a ladder to reach into the back of the box to tighten those u-bolts down. Give yourself a good 30-45 minutes to assemble the box and install on your vehicle. Probably 15 min to install or remove from your vehicle once you've assembled it. The box is less expensive than a Thule or Yakima, and rightly so.
I purchased this after lots of research, it is well constructed and is very easy to assemble it took me about forty five minutes to complete and will require two people. As far as the other review I have no idea what their problem was. it mounts right to my factory roof rack and all the mounting hardware was there....if you do NOT have a factory roof rack with cross bars you will need to order the optional mounting hardware,which is clearly mentioned when you purchase this product.
I love the design and it is made in the U.S.A. !!!!!!!!
Bought this to go on vacation. Read all the reviews, and researched all the competitors, ie thule, honda, etc. This looked to be the best value for the money. I was very aprehensive due to reviews of flimsy when in heat. We went to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Lake Powell, etc. in late June. It held up just fine, is on flimsy side, so when its opened in heat, but never buckled or sagged. We could not have gone on vacation without it. It did the job, even better than expected. A little side note, it did make us too tall to enter 50% of parking structures in Las Vegas, therfore, had to park with oversized trucks and trailors, but was not a big deal, and sometimes got closer parking because of it.
I recently bought this item for a vacation for my family. It was not too difficult to assemble. It does take a little help to get it mounted on the roof rack. I was worried about it keeping water out. My whole drive from Virginia to N.Y. it rained and at the end trip I found just a tiny bit of water and all my luggage was dry (I did install the weather proof strip incorrectly though). Overall very happy with this product.
It took 45min-1 hour to properly build and about 10 min to set up on the top my car. I have used it twice for a few music festivals and it literally is like having an extra trunk. I also looked at this exact brand on REI as well as a few camping stores and Walmart had the best deal.
Made it in one piece and everything stayed dry all the way from Oregon to Virginia!!
I would not recommend this carrier! It has a nice look. So far it seems durable but the design is an absolute nightmare. The way you connect it to your roof is next to impossible. You will need two people in order to do connect it to your roof. The clamps on the front and back to keep it closed are also difficult to clamp down.
I paid $189.00 for it just last month (Oct '12). With tax $198.00! Grab it at $129.00! It is "o.k." for the purpose intended. Very lightweight materials, as in "flimsy", but will hold if handled gently. NOT easy to put together. I feel I overpaid by $60.00 but at the current $129.00 it's a good value.
I have a 08 toyota 4 runner and it fit great! I used it on 10hr trip one way and it was great. No problems. Has a lot of storage space. If I had to say anything bad about the sport rack is it takes some time to put togather when you get it. Nice product for the money!!
This item does NOT come with all moutning hardware as indicated. When you contact the dealer directly they know NOTHING of this porduct or can tell you how to get the parts! This item is very difficult to assemble and not worth it. Nothing Wal-Mart is at fault for, its the product itself!
This is a Great carrier for the price. We have a Toyota Sienna That has no place for a Spare Tire. So this was the best salutation for us.,Plus We can lock it to make sure it is secure. There is still room inside for a few things as well. I like that this is not skinny like most of the carriers out there, But is still compact & light weight enough for ease of installation on top of the Van.
Good size. Fairly easy to assemble (with 2 people). Have not used it on trip yet but installed on roof and appears to be a great match for our needs. Great price! Quality seems to be great too. Would recommend.
Pretty flimsy construction, but it works.
You get what you pay for. It's a cheap box it didn't open and close well. I returned it within hours of assembling it.
Item was slightly damaged during shipping. Box was smashed up. The lid was dented in and when I pushed it back out it left a crease. But I needed it for planned vacation . No time to return. Other than that it is a good product. Fairly easy to assemble light weight and overall a good value.
This roof box is hard to put together. The included hardware did not have a proper fit. The side supports/ opening springs are hard to open and close. The front and rear latches are hard to open and clothes and fall apart every time you do get them open.
Good for now and then, to flimsey for every day use .

Equity as an Option and NPV [LO4] Suppose the firm in the previous problem is considering two mutually exclusive investments. Project A has an NPV of $1,900, and Project B has an NPV of $2,800. As the result of taking Project A, the standard deviation of the return on the firm's assets will increase to 46 percent per year. If Project B is taken, the standard deviation will fall to 29 percent per year.
a.What is the value of the firm's equity and debt if Project A is undertaken? If Project B is undertaken?
b.Which project would the stockholders prefer? Can you reconcile your answer with the NPV rule?
c.Suppose the stockholders and bondholders are in fact the same group of investors. Would this affect your answer to (b)?
d.What does this problem suggest to you about stockholder incentives?

I need help with PART B of this question please.
Introductory Text:
On June 10, 2000, the Millennium Bridge, a new footbridge over the River Thames in London, England, was opened to the public. However, after only two days, it had to be closed to traffic for safety reasons. On the opening day, in fact, so many people were crossing it at the same time that unexpected sideways oscillations of the bridge were observed. Further investigations indicated that the oscillation was caused by lateral forces produced by the synchronization of steps taken by the pedestrians. Although the origin of this cadence synchronization was new to the engineers, its effect on the structure of the bridge was very well known. The combined forces exerted by the pedestrians as they were walking in synchronization had a frequency very close to the natural frequency of the bridge, and so resonance occurred.
Consider an oscillating system of mass and natural angular frequency . When the system is subjected to a periodic external (driving) force, whose maximum value is and angular frequency is , the amplitude of the driven oscillations is
where is the force constant of the system and is the damping constant.
We will use this simple model to study the oscillations of the Millennium Bridge.
Part A
Assume that, when we walk, in addition to a fluctuating vertical force, we exert a periodic lateral force of amplitude 25 at a frequency of about 1 . Given that the mass of the bridge is about 2000 per linear meter, how many people were walking along the 144--long central span of the bridge at one time, when an oscillation amplitude of 75 was observed in that section of the bridge? Take the damping constant to be such that the amplitude of the undriven oscillations would decay to of its original value in a time , where is the period of the undriven, undamped system.
Answer ≈ 1810 people (to 3 significant figures).
Part B
What would the amplitude of oscillation of the Millennium Bridge have been on the opening day if the damping effects had been three times more effective?
How would I go about this question & how do I do this?
Thank you for helping in advance.

We're Trying To Do "The Wrong Thing Right" in Schools
By Will Richardson

"A couple of weeks ago, thanks to some serendipitous surfing online, I came across this 10-minute snip of an interview with Ackoff, a pioneer in the field of systems thinking who was a professor at the Wharton School prior to his death in 2009. I was staggered a bit after watching it because he was able to articulate something I have been feeling for a while now but had been unable to find the words for:
"Peter Drucker said 'There's a difference between doing things right and doing the right thing.' Doing the right thing is wisdom, and effectiveness. Doing things right is efficiency. The curious thing is the righter you do the wrong thing the wronger you become. If you're doing the wrong thing and you make a mistake and correct it you become wronger. So it's better to do the right thing wrong than the wrong thing right. Almost every major social problem that confronts us today is a consequence of trying to do the wrong things righter."

Democratic Corporation: A Radical Prescription for Recreating Corporate America and Rediscovering Success
We all know that American business needs fixing, and there is no shortage of prescriptions: imitate the Japanese, or follow the example of successful firms, or practice right-sizing. But these approaches do not work very well, says Russell Ackoff, because they only attack the problem piecemeal—and it is the entire system of American business that is flawed. In this revolutionary book by a widely respected business thinker and pioneer in the fields of operations research and systems thinking, Ackoff underscores the urgent need to overhaul the kinds of systems found in America, from our business schools to our boardrooms. And he shows how firms can break out of the mold—and leapfrog the competition in today's volatile economy.

Cornell Policy Review: Special Edition: Systems Thinking
Posted February 18, 2016 by Cornell Policy Review
Systems are ubiquitous. From our devices and networks to our social constructs, we are surrounded by complexity and its accompanying difficulties. For students of policy, these intricacies are familiar, and often accompany what Cornell professors Derek and Laura Cabrera have termed "wicked problems."
The articles in this edition are written by thirteen Fellows of the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs (CIPA). For seven weeks, they probed the wicked problems most important to them. From tiger management in India to social services in Texas, the following deconstructions of complexity are as diverse as they are profound. With guidance from Dr. and Dr. Cabrera, CIPA Fellows have been exposed to an intellectual process all policy students and practitioners should envy.
The edition is prefaced with an introduction to systems thinking by Dr. and Dr. Cabrera, and is followed by four of their student's articles and TED-style talks. Over the next month, we will publish nine more CIPA Fellow articles in film and text.
The Cornell Policy Review is proud to present this special edition on systems thinking.The Cornell Policy Review is proud to present this special edition on systems thinking. We hope you will consider applying the process to your own wicked problems in public policy and beyond.

6 PhD Scholarships in the Centre for Systems Studies, Hull University Business School!
The Centre for Systems Studies, based in the Business School at the University of Hull (UK), has a strong international reputation for its cutting edge work on the theory, methodology and practice of systems thinking. We have six scholarships for our Systems Science PhD program to offer to successful candidates wanting to start a PhD in September 2016, and the deadline for applications is 29 February 2016. Please distribute this information as widely as possible to your social media groups and contacts.
These scholarships are structured into three research areas, each of which has a pair of scholarships associated with it:
Resilient Communities for Sustainable Development: exploring the potential for harnessing ecosystem services and local sustainable development to promote the physical, social, mental and economic well-being of communities in different socio-economic settings. One PhD student will work on local "green economy" models and their impact on the socio-economic well-being of the community, and the other will work on the exploitation of ecosystem services for health and well-being.
Resilience in Cyberspace: examining the opportunities and challenges for public and private sector service providers operating in the digital economy. The focus will be on internet-based business models and their sustainability. One PhD student will focus on the way social media and pervasive technologies furnish data and networks that can be harnessed by businesses; and the other student will focus on how the digitisation and connectivity afforded by these technologies can expose service providers and consumers to ethical and security challenges.
Marginalisation and Conflict: extending the capabilities of systemic action research methodologies and complexity science to address the dynamics of conflict and marginalisation and their consequences in complex social systems. The first PhD student will focus on health/welfare settings, and the second will focus on social inclusion/exclusion, collective identities and radicalisation. Both students will work with the wider team of academics to develop a framework for understanding and explaining the systemic phenomena associated with the dynamics of marginalisation, in order to inform the design of policies and interventions to minimise the social costs of this.
For applicants in the European Union (EU), the scholarship pays for your fees and an annual stipend of £14,057 (tax free) for three years. For applicants outside the EU, it covers three years of fees only, so you must have the means to pay for your living expenses during your studies. Hull is one of the cheapest places in the UK to live, so your stipend (if you receive one) will spread further than those offered by many other universities.
For further details of these scholarships, please click on the link below. This will take you to a page where, if you scroll down, you will find a list of all the scholarship topics being offered across the University. In this list, click on Resilience and Sustainability of Socio-Ecological Systems, which is the overall title for our Centre for Systems Studies cluster of scholarships. This will open a drop down menu where you can click on each Systems scholarship topic in turn to view the details.
All the Systems PhD topics have Professor Yasmin Merali nominally allocated as supervisor, as she is Director of the Centre for Systems Studies. In reality, however, she will allocate successful candidates to a pair of appropriate supervisors with in-depth knowledge of the relevant research area.
To apply, please go back to the first page you visited. Above the list of all the scholarship titles is a button saying Apply Now. Click on this and follow the instructions. Remember, the deadline is 29 February 2016. We look forward to reading your application!
Best wishes,
PS. We also welcome applications on other topics from potential students who have their own sources of funding.

Russell L. Ackoff and Johan P. Strümpfer
Broadly speaking "terrorism" is regarded as extremely violent behavior by what is normally considered to be a minority subgroup of society. The value system in which terrorism is embedded is not universally shared within the larger society from which it emanates. Terrorists form a movement that pursues a cause defined by its aims which, in turn, are defined within a value framework that may be political, religious, social or economic. Its objective is to obtain acceptance of its value system and its aims. In pursuit of this objective it applies violence aimed at creating terror and anxiety in one or more target societies.
A major factor in the success of terrorism lies in the fear and social paralysis it induces. Through the media, particularly television, the terror produced is rapidly disseminated through a large part of the world. Instantaneous global dissemination by the media, particularly television, of news of terrorist acts promotes the aims of terrorism. Terrorists thrive on exposure of their message. The connections created by the media between most parts of the world directly favors terrorism. There is no better example than CNN and the September 11 attacks on the USA, which allowed a global audience to witness first hand terrorism in progress, in real time. Through violence terrorism conducts what is primarily a psychological war directed at affecting the mind and the behavior of public.
Those who sympathize with terrorists see them as freedom fighters. They create an environment in which terrorist movements are supported and flourish.

Failing With Single-Point Solutions: Systems Thinking For National Security
by Daniel McCauley
Journal Article | September 29, 2015
I have a problem with the Sunday morning political talk shows that our nation's leaders use as a testing ground for solutions to the challenges, issues, and problems besetting the US on a regular basis. My problem is not that I watch the shows, but when I do indulge I have a hard time understanding the simple, linear, reductionist explanations of experts that offer predictable and comfortable responses to complex issues. Terrorism, nation-state bankruptcies, stock market crashes, humanitarian disasters, invasions through proxies, nuclear and technology proliferation, and transnational criminal organizations are just a few of the more recent headlines that all experts agree are undermining US national security. But few of these experts identify—let alone explain—the interrelationship of many of these issues or the multitude of contributing factors inherent within each of these challenges. The pundits of opposing political parties, aka experts, seek to define a static end-product easily judged as right or wrong, good or bad that doesn't exist.
What has become clear are the uncertainties of a changing, continually globalizing world. Each subsequent change highlights the growing mismatches between the capabilities and capacities of traditional nation-states and the complexities inherent within non-traditional, global challenges. These complexities pose theoretical and real-world puzzles that demand thoughtful holistic policies by national security experts. Unfortunately, single-point solutions developed by government experts have failed to account for dynamic and volatile global conditions highly resistant to predetermined resolution. In fact, there is compelling evidence that suggests the very policies proffered as solutions act as catalysts to spawn the unanticipated consequences and shocks currently manifesting in the global environment. In fact, Dr. Jay Forrester, Professor Emeritus at the Sloan School of Business at MIT, assessed that up to 98% of all policy interventions fail in whole or part because of a lack of understanding of the systems in play. These failures highlight the limitations of our mental models and our overly simplistic approaches to problem solving.

An Interview with Russell L. Ackoff
By Glenn Detrick –
Academy of Management Learning and Education
Volume 1, Issue 1 September 2002
Russell L. Ackoff is one of the pioneers in management education. With an undergraduate degree in architecture and a PhD in philosophy, Ackoff is one of the founders of operations research and systems thinking, linking science and business. Influential in management thinking for the entire second half of the 20th century, Ackoff has published 22 books and over 200 articles in journals and books, on a myriad of topics. His illustrious academic career has played out primarily at Case Institute of Technology and The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Such is the breadth and reach of his intellectual contribution that the Ackoff Center for Advanced Systems Approaches at the University of Pennsylvania was established as part of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Ackoff has consulted with more than 350 corporations and 75 governmental agencies in the United States and abroad. All have benefited greatly from his "out of the box" thinking and point of view.
Ackoff provides a particularly useful perspective for this the first issue of the Academy of Management Learning and Education. As you will see from what follows, Ackoff challenges much of current thinking about teaching and learning in terms of what is effective and what isn't when the ultimate objective is to improve the learning process.

Building on the Work of Ackoff, Deming, and Fromm
Strategic Intelligence: Conceptual Tools for Leading Change

Published to Oxford Scholarship Online: August 2015
Building on the contributions of Ackoff, Deming, and Fromm, we can describe great organizations. Great organizations are works of performing art. Learning organizations survive and maintain profitability by adapting to change. They are learning organizations with the purpose of improving their customers' quality of life and/or improving their capability. They develop people at work, their competence, and character. They work to continually improve their social and environmental impact. If successful, great organizations will attract the most talented young people and become the model for education to shape the social character.

Learn Change Leadership From Two Great Teachers
By Michael Maccoby
Research Technology Management; Vol. 53, No. 2 March-April 2010 pp. 68-69.
If you need to change your organization, to make it more efficient and effective, I advise you to first get acquainted with the thinking of W. Edwards Deming (1900-1993) and Russell Ackoff (1919-2009). I had the very good fortune to learn directly from both of these theorists who have contributed so much to our most advanced understanding of change leadership.
During 1990-93, Deming invited me to meet with him regularly to discuss leadership and change. Ackoff and I worked together for more than 20 years at workshops and on change projects.
After World War II, Deming's teachings helped Japanese industry produce high-quality products and drive waste out of the system. In the 1980s, Ford improved quality by using his methods which evolved into the Six Sigma approach that has made America products globally competitive.
Although both thinkers came from technical backgrounds—Deming from statistics, Ackoff from architecture and operations research—both combined technical and psychological factors in their systems thinking. Both emphasized the importance of the human side. Although you can apply Deming's philosophy to any managerial challenge, his teachings about quality improvement, with emphasis on reducing variation, are mainly useful for designing processes for manufacturing products so they fit specifications, less so to organizing technical service and knowledge work.

MOUNT WASHINGTON -- After losing a couple of games to finish third in its district tournament, one might think that manager David Clevinger and his team might be a little down.
But the Mount Washington U-7 All-Stars were ready for play in the West Kentucky State Tournament at Okolona.
In fact, the team from Mount Washington did not lose a game in pool play and then completed the sweep by winning the state title 8-7 in eight innings over Germantown.

Skip to comments.Obama plays race card in call for 2010 elections?
Posted on 04/26/2010 12:00:18 PM PDT by chessplayer
Young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women.
Drudge has this clip highlighted with the headline, OBAMA PLAYS RACE CARD in bold letters at the top of the page. Ben Smith at Politico goes with a less-provocative description of unusual demographic frankness in describing this effort from the DNC to get the troops rallied for the midterm elections.
Obama to white males- "Go f*** yourselves."
White males to Zero; "Go f*** Larry."
Unite against Old White Males!
Nope. Nothing ageist, racist, or sexist here. Move along.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer last week signed a new law into effect that authorizes local police to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 60% of voters nationwide favor such a law, while 31% are opposed. - Rasumussen
Disgusting horrible man. How far our country has sunk!
White males to Obama:
Go f**k your Kenyan self.......... and your America-hating Sasquatch wife.
He's a charlatan. Divisive, group-identity politcs is all he has left.
Well, let's see proof of citizenship before casting votes.
That'll leave a mark. Matt best be careful.
Out with Obama and all Democrats.
He plays the race card with everything. His socialism is rooted in his deep racism - it is reparations cloaked as "basic fairness," which really means redistribution of wealth.
This could get interesting
Of course he played the race card. Too bad white people have no race card to play. They were deracinated and brainwashed over the last 40 years. They will lose their country. But it will be okay, at least they're not racist!
F this bastard. He can not stay in the White House any longer . We need to find grounds to impeach him. Imagine THREE MORE YEARS OF THIS INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You hav it all wrong, larry f's mac daddy as that's the way mac daddy likes it.
We need to retake Congress, get Obama impeached and try him for treason.
"You hav it all wrong, larry fs mac daddy as thats the way mac daddy likes it."
I'm sorry, no comprendo ebonics-o...
0bama and the left haven't figured out that you can push a man just so far.
File this in the November election soundbite
box for future reference.
Hail the national divider!
What does Zero think the last 50 years of the so-called War on Poverty has been? Nothing more than the redistribution of wealth from those that do work to those that refuse to work. I say we declare the war lost and end funding.
Isn't that what they wanted to do in Iraq?
Exactly. His whole political career is the race card.
"Exactly. His whole political career is the race card."
Obama's career is an entire deck of race cards....
when the Tea Parties take back the country he wants video of burning buildings and blood in the streets, in order to prove to his friends in the Global Community what an evil, mean, nasty racist country we are.
When has this dirtbag NOT not used the race card?
That's in the face of aggressive leftist propaganda about AZ's new law. The more the truth gets out the better the numbers will be. Bring it, Dems!
Shame on you.
"Shame on you."
It gets worse...someone had to explain to me why (outside of my ordinary dislike of the bunny eyed albino freak) I should stomp that CNN fruitcake AC for calling me a "teabagger." I didn't know about his word for a good time on Saturday night with the boys...
Of course he's playing the race card.
That's all a race baiter community agitator knows how to do.
Kossovo war provocation, Clinton wag the tail wag the dog... folkes, it's all a game by our Rain MAn in chief.
With rhetoric like this, I can play a little game too, I would rally women and latinos who lost their jobs against the black Rain Man puppet under the banner of "anything but blacks". This is the level of the rhetoric we have with this guy. He needs to be impeached after 2010, perhaps.
Next Obama rally, no need to heckle, just wear an African mask and tempt him further down the black hole of "hotness" he and Hollywood are so much about. Nothing like a stupid whore who feels proud she is still pretty as her own self cut arteries keep bleeding.
Zero is our suicide girl.

Video: Extreme weather in the United States
The extreme weather of 2010 was record-setting. But it may be the new normal. This year Americans have already suffered through "supercell thunderstorms" in Iowa, severe drought and record wildfires in Texas, and heavy rains across the United States. The recent southeastern storms and tornados took at least 340 lives across eight states. And residents of the Mississippi River Valley only narrowly avoided the most severe, damaging floods there in nearly a century.
The Center for American Progress's "Year of Living Dangerously" report and this video highlight the damage from extreme weather in 2010″"including the 1,000-year flood in Nashville, Tennessee, and the "snowmageddon" across along the East Coast""and the connection to global warming:
(transcript, mp4, YouTube)
This summary of climate science can help provide context to the recent surge in extreme weather events.
We determined in the report that the extreme weather of 2010 exacted a huge human and economic toll. More than 380 people died and 1,700 were injured due to weather events in the United States. The magnitude of these events forced the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, to declare 81 disasters. For nearly 60 years the annual average was 33. Total economic damages in 2010 exceeded a whopping $6.7 billion.
We must promptly begin to reduce carbon dioxide and other pollutants before the "year of living dangerously" occurs every year.
— Reposted from the CAP website.
JR: For a review of the recent literature on the link between human-caused climate change and extreme weather, see "Two seminal Nature papers join growing body of evidence that human emissions fuel extreme weather, flooding that harm humans and the environment."
10 Responses to Video: Extreme weather in the United States
Seeking Colorado Bob. Bob, where is your big list of big floods?
If this is the manifestation of +0.8C average warming on our Planet, i.e. an increase of the frequency and intensity of extreme extreme weather events, how will it look like with an increase of +4C in 2100? It will be an exciting time I guess, in which living dangerously will be accessible from one's front porch, no need anymore of joining expensive National Geographic excursions to Tibet or Africa.
Luc –
if Hansen is right that the 0.8C reflects only half of the 35yr-timelagged warming off the 55ppmv CO2 rise from 280 to 335 by 1975, (the other half being shaded out by our fossil-sourced sulphate parasol)
what is the 'pipeline' warming from the 55ppmv CO2 we've added since 1975, together with that from the closure of the parasol as we terminate GHG emissions ?
Supposing we ended those GHG emissions by 2045 (which many would say is not fast enough) then the sum looks like this:
0.8C x 2(ppmv) x 2(parasol) = 3.2C
While this cannot be more than a notional sum, it is worth noting that it excludes any additional warming from accelerating albedo loss and carbon feedbacks.
My point is that without effective mitigation – necessarily including albedo restoration since carbon recovery has both a lead-time and a time-lag on its effects, it seems likely we'd see 4.0C of warming well before 2050, let alone 2100.
great video.
this sort of stuff should be running nonstop on the tube.
Yes, it's about time the U.S.:
-Stop building any more coal power plants
-Convert the oldest, existing coal plants to natural gas
-Drastically ramp up nuclear power plants to power homes, industry, and electric cars
-tell Obama to mandate that all Gov't cars purchased from 2012 forward run on natural gas
"0.8C x 2(ppmv) x 2(parasol) = 3.2C"
Unless I misunderstood your paraphrase of Hansen, this 3.2 would come from the full accounting (times 2) of the "280 to 335" plus full accounting of 335 to _today's_ 390ppm.
..So when you speak of "ending all GHG emissions by 2045" one would still need to add to those 3.2C (even _before_ mentioning feedbacks that may further amplify, as you very rightly raise)…the additional rise in temp due to the 2011-2045. I suppose you were perhaps suggesting that the lag would mean a relatively small amount would be realized by 2045 with most of our "debt" in higher temps, for 2011-2045 GHG emissions, coming later, since after all you are speaking about temp by 2050.
Even so it would seem to be more than 0.1 so already to nearest 0.1 it would be more than 3.2C by this, yes, very "rough and ready" (or "notional") back of the envelope estimate.
Then add the feedbacks, including possible large release of methane (or, it's already large enough to matter, so make that 'possible huge release of methane) and 2050 would be that much higher of course..not that we should encourage the public to take their eyes off the effects during 2050-2100 or even for that matter, effects past 2100 which even international reports so often (inadvertently perhaps) brush under the rug.
Too often on CP including comments I think there is wishful thinking about soem short term horror "waking people up" .. While such effects are not zero, we vastly over estimate them if we paint mental pictures of a changed paradigm in terms of the corporate-governmental BAU institutions which rule our nation and rule most of world.
We imagine almost a chorus of "gee, you folks were RIGHT! We're verysorry! And, please come on TV/internet every week this year to suggest new policies to us!" happening after a sufficiently extreme series of climate disasters..Not likely! What happened after the WMD lies were exposed? Did the mainstream news media say, "Gee, you anti-war folks were Right! We're going to invite you to be the guest experts and analysts on our shows regularly now when we cover the so-called War on Terror, a war on a tactic, since the other side was so off base and you folks were so damn right, and prescient, and you warned us, and we don't want to have this happen again, so from now on in WOT and security matters, we'll invite you regularly as expert guests and ask for your policy suggestions" That sure did NOT happen!!
And it's fantasy to suppose it would happen with a climate "Told ya so" any more than this and other "Told ya so"
The institutions need to change, those governmental that are so beholden to private contributions, and also those economic institutions need to change, or policy will not change drastically. It can get better or worse, within the corporate paradigm, of course, after all, U.S. Republican policies versus those of Obama or of other western countries are not identical. But all fall far short of sane prudent policy, and for the same basic reason. CEOs are not Hitler-like genocidal monsters (not most of them anyway) and they want a livable planet for their grandkids, but the insanity of a corporate economic model with profits above all else, nay, short-term profits above all else (add to climate destruction even if profits in 30 years are hurt by it) is an elephant in the room we can ignore but until addressed, and replaced with a saner system, is one which will keep the parameters of any progress we are lucky enough to make, rather narrow ones. The corporate feudalism we live under must not merely lie, but be replaced with something positive, if we and the planet is to live. (I greatly admire the work of JR/CP which is highly needed and not everyone can work directly on planting seeds of new economic institutions which might help replace even partly the corporate short-term-profit hegemony, but hopefully more people will put more energy in these directions in the coming years)
Truly an epic 12 mths!

horrible song
DJ Premier "produced" this!?! Smh… Sorry but this blows! Only song produced by him I dare say sucks! Never thought I'd say that as he's my favorite producer… Wow…
Terrible! There must be a mistake…This ain't no Primo!!
WTF!? Worst DJ Premier beat ever. Sounds like a shitty Alchemist beat.
Damn I didn't hate this beat as much as everyone else, I thought it was kind of a cool change of pace for preem to let the sample ride, rather than his usual chopped-style.

Shooting Victims Gain Veto Power In Donation Distribution
Victims Complained They Had No Voice In Release Of $5 Million Donated In Their Name
Families forever changed by the Aurora movie theater tragedy left a meeting Friday saying they felt better about plans to distribute public donations to the victims.The families said they now have the ability to veto distribution decisions.The meeting was held behind closed doors at the Aurora Civic Center, said city of Aurora spokeswoman Kim Stuart. The meeting was private to allow participants to speak freely, she added.Two of Melisa Cowdens children were at the theater with their father when he was shot and killed. She says she heard what she wanted to hear at the meeting.I asked them, 'Can you promise, 110 percent absolutely promise that every dollar that has been raised with the Aurora victims shooting (fund) will go directly to the Aurora victims, said Cowden. They all said, 'Yes, we can 110 percent guarantee that.'During an emotional news conference Monday, relatives of some of the people killed and injured during the July 20 shooting rampage demanded a voice in deciding who receives the donations raised in the victims' names.Tom Teves, father of Alex Teves who was killed in the shooting, said the Community First Foundation charity that has received donations at its website, GivingFirst.org, is holding the funds and has repeatedly ignored requests from victims who want to have a say in how donations are spent."The victims have no voice at all," Teves said Monday.Instead, he said, Community First has put more effort into "political spin" than helping victims.Twelve people were killed in the shooting at the Aurora Century 16 theater and 58 others were injured.Community First has "continued collecting donations using the pictures and names of our loved ones to motivate donations without our permission, promising this would go directly to the victims," Teves said.Community First collected more than $5 million under the name of the Aurora Victim Relief Fund. The fund was endorsed by Gov. John Hickenlooper."We're all heartsick that this process that was supposed to help repair some of the emotional damage has been so painful," Hickenlooper told the Denver Post Wednesday. "Until yesterday I had not heard that some people had received nothing."Some victims have complained that they're having trouble paying medical bills, rent -- and even buying food.The Friday meeting involved victims and officials from the city, the governor's office, Community First and the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance.The victims and families wanted a say in how the donations are distributed and assurances that all of it would go to those who were involved in the tragedy.The 7/20 Recovery Committee was formed to decide whose and what expenses the remaining $4.6 million would pay. The committee did not include any victim representation, despite requests from victims that they be allowed to influence decisions, Teves said Monday.As a result of Fridays meeting, victims will also have veto authority over the decisions about distribution of the funds. 7/20 Committee spokesperson Rich Audsley says they hope to have a completed distribution plan in the next 30 to 45 days.Whatever the distribution plan is that goes to the executive committee for approval, if it's not unanimous approval, it's going to go back to the resource committee for more work, he said.

Dothan police say there is tremendous traffic congestion on Ross Clark in the vicinity of Chick Fil A.
The activity stems from what has been dubbed Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, a grassroots effort to show support for the fast-food chain after CEO Dan Cathy said in an interview that he is a firm backer of "traditional marriage."
Traffic officers are on scene and have opened an extra turn lane to help traffic flow in. Officers say traffic is a continuous flow but confirm it is a slow one.
Police say any motorist on the north side of Dothan that are not traveling to a business in that area should consider alternate routes.

"Laughlin, NV" Laughlin by PinkFloydActuary
Laughlin Travel Guide: 103 reviews and 208 photos
On my travels through the desert southwest, I stopped for a couple of hours in Laughlin. Being a huge Vegas fan, it's always interesting to see how the other gambling Meccas stack up. The first thing that sticks out to you is that most of the casinos are lined up against the river. You can either walk from casino to casino on a paved riverwalk, or hop a "river taxi" to get from place to place.
The other unique quality is that Laughlin segregates those who travel with their kids and those who don't. Almost every casino I saw had a "family" tower and an "adults only" tower. I've read that Laughlin isn't as family friendly as the other gambling destinations, and I don't know how comfortable I'd be having to be directed off to my own tower. The clientele of Laughlin did seem to me to be a bit older...and I noticed several more people looking like they were down on their luck.
Whether or not you travel with families, if you have casino resorts as a destination, it's worth a stop in Laughlin to see what it's all about. Most of the casinos didn't have a specific theme other than the Colorado Belle, where the steam ship theme carries through the casino, and they do a good job with it.
Please see my travelogue for a few other casino pictures from Laughlin.
- Pros:Gambling
- Cons:Seems like it would get dull quickly
- In a nutshell:Worth a side trip at least once

Lithuania said Thursday it expected smoother relations between neighbour Belarus and the European Union, as the Baltic state gears up to take over the rotating EU presidency in July.
Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius said his Belarus counterpart Mikhail Myasnikovich, now visiting Lithuania, had expressed hope for the "closer ties" over a dinner Wednesday.
"The question of improving EU-Belarus relations may be raised during our presidency but Belarus, of course, must solve the issues raised by the EU," he told AFP.
Minsk has become increasingly isolated from Europe since a crackdown on dissent after the controversial 2010 presidential election, which handed President Alexander Lukashenko a historic fourth term.
The EU responded with economic sanctions and issued travel bans against nearly 250 people in the Belarussian government and court system.
The EU's Baltic states had voiced caution regarding the sanctions, amid warnings the move could impact the Baltic economies.
"We as a member of EU must comply with sanctions. Of course, some businessmen react negatively," Butkevicius told AFP.
Belarus is the eighth biggest market for Lithuanian exports, and Belarussian cargo makes up one third of the volume in its Baltic sea port.
Unlike Lukashenko and foreign minister Vladimir Makei, the Belarus prime minister was not blacklisted by the EU.
Butkevicius said he hoped Myasnikovich would score an invite to attend the next Eastern Partnership summit, an EU meeting with ex-Soviet states that takes place in Vilnius in November.
But he said it was up to the EU to decide: its chief Herman Van Rompuy is tasked with sending out the invites, along with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite.
The Belarus president and premier were not invited to the previous summit in Poland two years ago, and some human rights activists and the Belarus opposition are calling for another snub.

Multiprocessor systems are widely used in many application programs to enhance system reliability and performance. However, reliability does not come naturally with multiple processors. We develop a multi-invariant data structure approach to ensure efficient and robust access to shared data structures in multiprocessor systems. Essentially, the data structure is designed to satisfy two invariants, a strong invariant, and a weak invariant. The system operates at its peak performance when the strong invariant is true. The system will operate correctly even when only the weak invariant is true, though perhaps at a lower performance level. The design ensures that the weak invariant will always be true in spite of fail-stop processor failures during the execution. By allowing the system to converge to a state satisfying only the weak invariant, the overhead for incorporating fault tolerance can be reduced. We present the basic idea of multi-invariant data structures. We also develop design rules that systematically convert fault-intolerant data abstractions into corresponding fault-tolerant versions. In this transformation, we augment the data structure and access algorithms to ensure that the system always converges to the weak invariant, even in the presence of fail-stop processor failures. We also design methods for the detection of integrity violations and for restoring the strong invariant. Two data structures, namely binary search tree and double-linked list, are used to illustrate the concept of multi-invariant data structures
