You know how, when KGB agents are tailing you, all you want to do is roll out of the car while your driver keeps going? Only those agents aren't dumb: If they suddenly see one fewer head inside the car, they're gonna know something's up. Spytechs at the CIA figured that if you brought along something compact yet inflatable, you could quickly blow it up as you exited the vehicle, and nobody would see any difference. It was the early '80s so, naturally, the researchers thought of sex dolls.
Two noob CIA engineers were sent to a shady shop in DC's red-light district to pick up some anatomically correct sexy-time dolls. The dolls were attached to a system of rapid inflation, essentially a tank of compressed air that could pump the dolls up in less than a second. Only problem was, the dolls split at the seams when the inflation happened too quickly. (Ooh la la!)
This being the pre-internet era, and a time when mail-order took 6-8 weeks for delivery, those two poor bastards had to keep going back again and again to the sex shops to buy new dolls. The description in Spycraft is priceless:
When the young techs returned to a store for more dolls, the proprietor's quizzical stare seemed to raise uncomfortable questions about their private lives. After all, they could not explain, "You see, we work for the CIA..."
Try as they might, the techs couldn't get the sexy plastic ladies (or men?) to blow up appropriately, and even with added valves for air control, they tended to sag inhumanly.
Added to that was the problem of rapid deflation—agents who jumped out of cars tended to jump back into them after the mission or drop was carried out. Probably the most embarrassing scenario would be that the KGB caught up with the agent after he had jumped back in the car, and got a closeup of him wrestling with a sex doll in the back seat.
The "elegant solution" was, sadly, far less risque. The "Jack-in-the-Box" (or JIB) that went into operation tucked inside a briefcase, and emerged as a simple, two-dimensional cutout of a man's head and shoulders. Apparently KGB tails didn't get too close—merely the suggestion of a body was enough.
As if to drive this point home, CIA agent and US traitor Edward Lee Howard—on the run from a suspicious FBI in Santa Fe in 1985—built his own JIB out of a toilet plunger, a coat hanger and a Calvin Klein jacket, with a Styrofoam dummy head wearing a fashionable Jerome Alexander wig to complete the illusion. He jumped out of the moving car as his wife drove, propping up the dummy in her hubby's place. (Who was the bigger dummy: the dummy, the lady propping up the dummy or the guy selling state secrets to the Soviet Union?) Sadly, American agents were as easily duped as their Eastern Block counterparts. According to Spycraft, "The FBI did not discover his escape until some 25 hours after he jumped from the car."
All of this CIA tech and much more like it is covered with great depth and hair-raising anecdotes in Spycraft, a new book by Robert Wallace and H. Keith Melton, reviewed by us, and available for pre-order at Amazon.

Haywood health board gets more than it bargains for
A proposed health board rule in Haywood County has reignited a debate about how far officials can go when it comes to private property.
Public outcry crushed a nuisance ordinance considered by the county last spring. Now, it's made a dent in the health board's plans to amend a little known rule from 1970.
The rule spells out how to safely store garbage that can attract disease-carrying pests, like rodents and mosquitoes. With the new amendment, the health director is allowed to step onto private property if a property owner is uncooperative. Violators can be charged with a misdemeanor.
State law has long allowed health directors in North Carolina to abate public health risks by entering private property. They can even clean up the property if the owner refuses and recoup the cost through a lien.
The health board was ready to vote on the amendment with little ado in January. But a crowd of 75 rallied at the last minute and turned up to oppose it. The stunned board members decided to hold off on the vote.
A few changes to the rule change were announced last week after the board gathered for a work session. The rule now requires the health director to first obtain an administrative search warrant before entering private property — unless there's an imminent hazard.
Related Items
"Imminent hazard" means a situation that is likely to cause an immediate threat to human life, an immediate threat of serious physical injury, an immediate threat of serious adverse health effects, or a serious risk of irreparable damage to the environment if no immediate action is taken.
Haywood County Health Director Carmine Rocco said even in such an emergency case, he'd try to seek consent first.
Constitutional or not?
Many at the January meeting had cried that the health board rule was simply a back-door approach to passing a public nuisance ordinance they already defeated.
Jonnie Cure, who helped round up the opposition, argued that if neighbors were putting her health at risk, she could just take them to civil court.
"If somebody is putting my life in danger, I have remedy," said Cure. "I don't need to sic the health department on them."
Lenise Paschke, pharmacist and chair of the Haywood health board, said the board didn't have the time or the energy to police people's yards.
"It is not our intention to go running through the county, entering people's property. These statutes have been on the books quite a while. We haven't done that yet," said Paschke.
The health board maintains that the rule is a way to protect public health — not address aesthetic issues.
"It has nothing to do with how many bikes somebody has in their front yard or issues related to personal taste," said Rocco.
The rule is more narrowly tailored than the nuisance ordinance considered by county commissioners last spring. The nuisance ordinance would have cracked down on junk on peoples' property, prohibiting everything from outdoor storage of scrap metal to junked cars to non-maintained swimming pools.
County Attorney Chip Killian said the health board has gone out of its way to satisfy concerned citizens with recent changes. Killian considers the state law to be wholly constitutional.
"That's really going the extra step, we feel," said Killian.
But opponents argue the state law violates the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches.
"The victim here is the property owner, not the person who's supposedly put at risk," said Cure.
Waynesville Attorney Russell McLean said a search warrant should be required every single time, despite state law saying otherwise.
Killian disagrees.
"It's not up to us to decide whether the state statute is unconstitutional or not," Killian said. "I don't believe it is, but if it is, that's another matter. We're supposed to proceed under guidelines of state law."
Rarely used rule
Rocco has worked in public health in North Carolina for more than 20 years and has never stepped on private property without the owner's cooperation.
Usually, the health director works with property owners and educates them on the public health risks lurking in their backyard.
Knowing the health director could enter their property or put a lien on their land might provide an incentive to cooperate.
"This just gives us one more tool for us to address public health concerns," said Rocco. "I will do what I think is necessary to protect the public's health."
Storing garbage improperly can attract flies, rats, snakes or other disease-carrying animals. Property owners who allow standing water to collect provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can also spread disease.
Lacrosse encephalitis is of particular concern in Western North Carolina, which sees a few cases every year. Last year, through November 2009, four cases of lacrosse encephalitis were reported to the health department in Haywood. A boy in Cherokee died last year from the mosquito-borne disease.
Other complaints included 33 sewage complaints, nine vector complaints and six trash complaints — all would fall under the rule in question. Vectors are disease-carrying animals.
The rule regulating solid waste has been on the books for 40 years but was sitting dormant for the past two decades until it was rediscovered last year.
A solid waste task force was created last summer to look at where modifications to the rule needed to be made. The task force worked for several months to amend the rule and held public meetings to discuss the issue before the vote in January.
"Unfortunately, nobody came," said Rocco.
The health board will decide the next steps at its meeting on Wednesday, March 10.

Been out of Work for a While? Here's How to Re-enter the Labor Market
The labor market has been showing signs of a stable recovery as employers continued to add jobs in May, but job seekers with a year or more of unemployment on their resume are still facing a tough battle to getting hired.
Whether it was by choice or a layoff, job seekers looking to re-enter the job market need to learn how to best sell and market themselves to prove to hiring managers they are still valuable and relevant.
"Sometimes it's more of a sales job to convince someone you are up to speed and keeping up with the industry," says Pamela Skillings, , co-founder of Skillful Communications. "It can be a little bit more challengin g. You need someone to be open to the idea that you still have something to contribute."
Parents who took time off to raise children are often overwhelmed with the idea of leaving the house and the job-searching process. After all, they have to contend with gaps in their resume and concerns that they may not be current on the latest industry trends and skills. To combat this, expert suggest doing volunteer work or consulting to highlights talents and expertise.
Know Where to Look
Applying for jobs with family-friendly companies may also reduce anxiety about reentering the workforce. There are many online resources that rank and show companies' culture and values. "Target any businesses that have earned recognition for work/life balance," suggests Skillings.
Job hunters with resume gaps should also look at small and medium-sized businesses. Skillings says larger corporations tend to shy away from hiring people with gap years, but adds smaller companies are more likely to overlook any breaks as long as the right skills and enthusiasm were present.
Pass the First Hurdle
With the surge of resumes coming in for open positions, companies use automated software to help filter out the applications. Resumes with a gap could get overlooked, so experts recommend not listing employment in chronological order at the top of the page. Instead, opt for a skills- based resume that groups applicable skills and accomplishments at the top.
"The trend is to not do a chronological resume," says Theresa Andrikanich, a talent search marketing manager at Progressive Insurance. She also notes that candidates with 20 years of experience with no time out of the labor market are switching to this technique to better highlight their skill sets.
How to Handle the Interview
The interview process is always nerve-racking, but even more so for those who haven't put on a business suit in a couple years. But experts say job seekers need just one thing: confidence.
"What we hear often times is they feel like they lost the edge when the go on an interview," says Andrikanich. "Confidence is a key factor in how you sell yourself."
She suggests talking about the idea of going back to work with family and friends as soon as possible to make the topic more comfortable and to get any insight, advice and job leads. Hold mock interviews and look for sample questions online to be as prepared as possible.
Start Networking
Networking is a key element of getting back into the workforce, and don't be afraid to solicit tips and connections from family, friends and former co-workers.
Be sure to create an online profile that includes a LinkedIn page, and join career-related industry groups.
"If you are trying to come back you have to make sure you are putting yourself out there and that you are comfortable in your own skin," says Andrikanich.

text: News Cabinet votes to build in Negev, but will settlements bloom there Facebook Twitter Email SMS WhatsApp Share By J. Correspondent | July 27, 2001 NITZANA, Israel — How does a barren strip of land in the northern Negev tie in with last year's failed Camp David summit? The answer lies partly with a man considered a legendary figure in Israel's history. Last week, Aryeh "Lova" Eliav stood in the heat of the day on a hill in the Negev. "Right here, underneath me, we have the equivalent of the Sea of Galilee," he said. "The only region in the country which suffers no water problem is the Negev. Pretty soon we will be able to ship water from the south to the north." His prediction might sound counter-intuitive, but Eliav, 79, a former secretary-general of the Labor Party, has some basis for his optimism. He was referring to the huge Negev aquifer, an untouched water reservoir in a country suffering an acute and unprecedented water shortage. "Some 50,000 Israelis could come down and settle here," Eliav said. "It is only a matter of will." In the early 1950s, Eliav, under the guidance of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, orchestrated the settlement of the Lachish and Arad regions in the Negev with thousands of Israelis, turning Lachish into the granary of Israel and Arad into a prospering desert city. Now Eliav is again in the midst of a political campaign for the Negev. Here is where the story links to Camp David. A year ago, then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered the Palestinians a portion of the Negev known as the Halutza sand dunes in exchange for Israeli settlement blocs in the West Bank. Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat turned down the proposal, questioning the quality of the land Israel was offering. Still, the offer created a precedent: It was the first time that a portion of land within Israel's original 1948 borders was being bartered in political negotiations. Last week, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government moved to prevent a repetition of the offer, as ministers voted to build new Jewish communities in the Halutza dunes. Halutza is one of the more beautiful spots of the northern Negev: It is some 400 square miles, the size of the Golan Heights, but pure desert. The area is largely unused. Studies are performed here by the Nature Reserves Authority, and the Israel Defense Force uses the area for training purposes. It also is a destination for wealthy Israelis from the north, who come on weekends to test their four-wheel-drive jeeps. Yossi Beilin, who served as justice minister in the Barak government, defended last year's offer to transfer Halutza to Palestinian control. "This was simply the best alternative," said Beilin, who last year was one of the advocates for the land trade. Beilin recalled that other options for such a trade — including an area east of Beersheva bordering the Hebron mountains — are close to Israeli population centers. "The advantage of Halutza was its emptiness," Beilin said in a recent interview. "At Camp David and the subsequent Taba talks we were quite close to reaching an agreement on such an exchange." He blasted last week's Cabinet vote. "This was simply another move by the present government to block any future options for a possible deal with the Palestinians," Beilin said. It is "sad that my friends in the Labor Party in the coalition fell into this trick." However, Beilin's adversaries on this issue are not only his "friends" in the Cabinet, but also people from his own political school of thought — like Eliav. Thirty years ago, Eliav was the first mainstream politician to call for a total Israeli withdrawal from territories conquered in the 1967 war, recognition of the PLO and the eventual recognition of an independent Palestinian state. After he was forced to quit the Labor Party, he set up his own Shelli Party, which failed to win Israelis' hearts and minds. For all intents and purposes, Eliav was the political role model for Beilin and other leading Israeli doves such as Yossi Sarid, leader of the Meretz Party. When it comes to Halutza, however, Eliav overnight became a political ally of Avigdor Lieberman — the right-wing infrastructure minister who introduced the Cabinet proposal — and an opponent of the dovish Beilin. Eliav long has called on Israelis to populate the Negev. Fourteen years ago he convinced the Jewish Agency for Israel and the regional council to set up a youth village here in Nitzana, at the southern tip of the Halutza sand dunes. The village since has blossomed. Even this summer, in the midst of the 10-month-old Palestinian uprising, it is hosting dozens of American Jewish youths who undergo paramilitary training. But Eliav always has wanted to do more. He called for establishing within Halutza a new town, accompanied by several villages, that would attract thousands of Israelis to the south. That dream has more chance of becoming a reality after last week's Cabinet vote. Undermining those chances, however, is neglect of the region by successive Israeli governments. Although 20 years have passed since communities were established in the area — mostly by evacuees from Sinai settlements that were abandoned after the 1979 peace treaty with Egypt — only 200 families live there today, a far cry from Eliav's vision. Last week, in what turned out to be an uneasy confrontation, Beilin visited the region and met with Eliav in Nitzana. Beilin suggested that the Cabinet vote was merely a political move to prevent Israel from turning over the region to the Palestinians, and that no one in the government seriously intended to build new communities there. Eliav apparently took this personally. "Don't do this to me, Yossi," he said. "Not to me, with my record, at my age." Beilin immediately apologized, saying he did not doubt Eliav's good intentions. Just the same, Beilin did not change his opinion regarding the import of the Cabinet move. J. Correspondent Also On J. Politics Jewish philanthropist Daniel Lurie files to run for mayor of S.F.

Administration says consumers now save up front as insurers get efficient to avoid refunds
Those health insurance rebates that some consumers got last year will total much less for 2013, but the Obama administration says that's a good thing.
The Health and Human Services Department announced Thursday that employers and individual policyholders will receive $500 million in rebates this summer. It's half the $1.1 billion returned last year.
But Health and Human Services' Gary Cohen says the lower rebates mean insurance companies have learned to be more efficient, and consumers are saving up front.
President Barack Obama's health care law requires insurers to spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar on medical care and quality improvement or refund the difference.
The administration said consumers saved $3.4 billion up front in 2012. Cohen acknowledged the rebate rule may not be the only reason.

Francisco Liriano threw a four-hit complete game last night, helping the Pirates end a four-game losing streak. His performance kept scores of nervous Yinzers, panicked at the possibility of another late-season Pirates collapse, from racing to the Roberto Clemente Bridge and ending it all. Liriano threw just 94 pitches, giving the bullpen a much-needed night off. It just what the Buccos needed. But we really have to talk about his at-bat in the top of the ninth inning. Because it was fantastic.
Liriano saw four pitches from Randy Choate, and he never bothered to swing at any of them. But that's not the best part: Liriano also backed out of the batter's box each and every time. "This is certainly a time," announcer Bob Walk said after the first pitch, "he does not need to be getting on base." I mean, look at that. "Statue of Liberty play," play-by-play man Tim Neverett said when it was over. Liriano just tried so hard to make it look like he wasn't trying. And that's great hustle.
A career American Leaguer before coming to Pittsburgh, Liriano had only 17 big-league at-bats before this season, managing two hits. He's struck out 15 times in 41 plate appearances this season, but he's somehow got three hits. Liriano began the year on the DL, and back in April, in one of his plate appearances during a Triple-A rehab assignment, this happened:
That's right: Francisco Liriano once put a ball in play with a half-assed swing, didn't initially bother to run, and still managed to get on base. The man is an inspiration.

dishwasher troubleshooting: dishes not clean
Thanksgiving means two things: lots of food and lots of dirty dishes. And more dirt requires more soap, right?
Despite what you might think, too much soap can actually prevent your dishes from getting clean — especially on the top rack.
You should only use about half the amount of detergent recommended on the package. And if you have a water softener, you need only 1-2 teaspoons of powder — even less if you use liquid.
Too much soap can cause over-sudsing. Our customer service representative Maghan explained to me that the dishwasher tries to drain as much of the soap suds and food residue as it can. But when too much soap is used and it produces so many suds, the dishwasher can't drain it all in the time allowed.
So instead of draining, the soap bubbles pop inside, redepositing tiny food particles back onto the dishes, which show up most on glassware and silverware.
How do you know if you're over-sudsing? Run a cycle without any soap. If suds are left at the bottom of the tub, you're over-sudsing.
To remedy, we suggest a "vinegar cycle":
– Empty any dishes and shut soap door, without adding any detergent
– Run dishwasher until it gets to the wash cycle
– Open the door and check if the dispenser flap has opened
– If it hasn't, run for another minute or so until the flap opens
– If the flap has opened, add the 1 cup vinegar and run through the full cycle.
You might have to repeat the process two or three times to ensure you've eliminated the build up of soap. Maghan also suggests trying a dishwasher cleaner like Glisten or Dishwasher Magic.
And I've said it again, but I will continue to harp on about using rinse aid. It's not just for looks, people! Maghan reminds us dishwashers today come designed to use rinse aid to help dry, as they lack a built-in fan.
So remember: gorge on turkey, just go easy on the soap, OK?

Hop in the Saddle: A Guide to Portland's Craft Beer Scene, by Bike
by Lucy Burningham Author, Ellee Thalheimer Author and Laura Cary Illustrator
Bicycling and craft brew—it doesn't get more Portland. For the first time, a guide marries these two worlds by linking the best beer spots with routes that explore the city's first- class cycling boulevards, bike-friendly streets and quirky bike charm. This carefully curated guide separates the status-quo ale trail from the cutting edge brew destinations that make Portland so world-renowned.
Writing about Portland's food and drink scene for the past seven years has inspired Lucy Burningham to form some, ahem, strong opinions about what really deserves to be sipped, supped and discussed in this town. That's why Hop in the Saddle only includes the best of the best, from the city's most intimate tasting rooms and knowledgeable beer sommeliers to innovative brewers and top-notch cheesemongers. Whether you're interested in drinking beer straight from the barrel, knowing which of the city's top chefs secretly cellar beer or loading up your bike some rare bottles, Lucy pours a strong brew of insider info.What connects Lucy's favorite finds? Stellar bike routes through each of the city's five distinct neighborhoods: Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, Southwest and North, complete with detailed maps and cue sheets. You won't find carefully tailored cycling routes like these anywhere else. Along the way, prominent guide book author Ellee Thalheimer clues you into the history of Portland's bike corridors, who to say hello to at the local cargo bike boutique, the city's fine cycling infrastructure like bicycle corrals and other PDX bike jazz.
Comments & Reviews

A couple weeks back, I drove across Wisconsin, en route from my cousin's wedding in southeastern Minnesota (ancestral home of the Martin clan) to my SO's family vacation cabin on the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin.
My parents abandoned Minnesota for Northern California when I was six, so my memories of mosquito swarms, May snowstorms, and rusty quarterpanels aren't particularly vivid. I'd assumed that I'd be seeing nothing but late-model Buicks in my Wisconsonian travels. Not so!
What a find! A beater '51 Plymouth sedan with an IHC Milwaukee Foundry sticker on the bumper!
This fine machine was providing some vintage ambiance to Milty-Wilty's Diner, located on State Highway 21 in Wautoma. With a name like Milty-Wilty's and an old Plymouth setting on four flats, we had no choice but to stop.
Good move, too, because David Lynch appears to have designed Milty-Wilty's decor; check out this plywood sign, beckoning kids to the "play area" in back! My first impression was that I was suffering from Grain Belt Beer and cheese curd-induced hallucinations, but it was all gloriously real.
Later on, at an art gallery near Sturgeon Bay, I caught sight of this '50 Chevrolet in the bushes. The Eau Claire dealership emblem just beckons to be photographed.
At this point, the old Chevy serves mostly as a yellowjacket breeding facility. I spoke to the property's owner, and he said that they'd discovered the Chevy hidden in the weeds. They cleared enough of the undergrowth that visiting artists could see the car and be inspired by its lines. I'm pretty sure that a LeMons team with a hundred bucks could make this car their own!

An annual sales promotion on China's biggest online shopping site is off to an spectacular start with $5 billion of goods sold in just 90 minutes.
That's equal to more than half of last year's total sales volume of $US9.3 billion for the entire day and close to the 2013 all-day total of $US5.8 billion.
Alibaba's Singles Day is an attempt to get customers who are single to buy themselves gifts and has taken place for several years on November 11, chosen for its numeric date of 11/11.
It kicked off in Beijing at midnight on Wednesday and initial signs point to a significant increase in shopping from smartphones.
Alibaba said 27 million people purchased goods through their mobile phones in the first hour of the event.
Mobile purchases using the Alipay e-money system accounted for $US2.9 billion of the $US3.9 billion cleared in the first hour of the promotion. That's 74 per cent of the total value of goods sold. In 2014 at the same time, a little less than half of all purchases were settled via mobile Alipay.
Following the success of Singles Day, Amazon created its own manufactured shopping holiday in July this year called Prime Day. It was targeted at selling more products and getting consumers to sign-up to Amazon's $US99 annual membership program. The company did not release sales figures for the day.

When people think of summer, they often think of outdoor barbecues. As a matter of fact, summer is frequently referred to as barbecue season. If you're going to be doing some grilling this year, you're going to want to make sure you have everything ready. Here's how you can prepare.
Make Sure Your Grill Is In Good Condition
If there is a problem with your grill, you're going to want to be aware of the issue before grilling season kicks off. Take the time to inspect your grill from top to bottom. Look at it carefully and see what kind of shape it is in.
If your grill needs to be repaired or replaced, you will want to take care of that before grilling season starts, not afterward. You should regularly inspect your grill. If your grill is in rough shape, you should decide what to do with it.
Give Your Grill A Good Cleaning
If your grill is dirty, it's going to impact the taste of the foods that you cook there. You should make sure you give your grill a deep cleaning before you start cooking on it again. We found the Yoshi grill and bake mat to help a lot with keeping the grill clean. It also keeps the food a lot cleaner, which means it will be better for your health.
You should clean your grill as thoroughly as you can. Make sure that the grill is as clean as it needs to be. You should scrub your grill clean so that nothing will get in the way of the taste of your food. Make your grill look like it is new again.
Start Looking At Recipes
You shouldn't just cook the same old foods on the grill. You should look for new recipes to try. Look for marinades or seasoning mixes that you can use on your meat. Look into making kebabs; they are a great thing to cook on a grill.
If you want to make the most of the BBQ season, you shouldn't just stick with the tried and true dishes. Try to prepare some new foods as well. Even if you get sick of your old favorites, you'll be able to enjoy some exciting new dishes. You'll never run out of things to eat. Check out Bill Anderson's competition bbq secrets for some impressive recipes.
Make Sure You're Ready To Entertain
Don't just barbecue for the people in your household. Invite a few friends over. Prepare to start treating people. The summer is a perfect time for an outdoor BBQ.
What kinds of things should you be doing? To start, you should make sure that your yard is clean. You may also want to buy some new patio furniture. This will give your guests a place to sit outside. Get your yard ready for guests. Once the weather is right, you can start inviting people to come over for some BBQ.
If you're not ready for the BBQ season, now is the time for you to start preparing. The weather is starting to warm up. If you want to make the most of this season, then you need to start getting ready. If you're fully prepared, you should be able to have a fantastic time.

A cat who lives with a house rabbit might still stalk and chase a rabbit he met outdoors. The environmental cues would set the instinct in motion. In fact, he might even pursue his own rabbit-friend if they encountered each other outdoors. There are two lessons here. The first is to make sure you set up a situation where Felix is unlikely to feel predatory. The second is that even if Daphne has a feline friend, she could still be terrorized by an unfamiliar cat.
Many people report a total reversal of the expected roles between house-rabbit and house-cat. Daphne takes charge, bossing Felix, chasing him and generally throwing her weight around. Rabbits tend to be much more confrontational in social situations than are cats. I believe this is because, at a very basic level, rabbits are group animals and cats are solitary. Daphne's instincts tell her, "Here's someone in my territory. We need to figure out who's who in the social hierarchy." Felix, on the other hand, is thinking, "Hmm. A large furry creature who isn't running away from me. Why look for trouble?" Fundamentally social or pack animals such as rabbits, dogs, and humans are much more concerned with hierarchy-with who's in charge, who's top dog-than animals who are programmed to live on their own. Domestication has modified these instincts in the cat to the point that most domestic cats prefer to live with at least one feline companion. And of course there is a great deal of individual variation within species, from the human hermit to the gregarious cat. There are also animals who seem to prefer the companionship of species other than their own. Many rabbits who lack the social skills necessary for living with another rabbit do much better with a feline companion.
But what happens if the rabbit does run from the cat? Here's where environmental manipulation (the human's job) comes in. If Daphne runs, then the cat's instincts tell him something very different than the laid-back, confrontation-avoiding stance he generally takes to social situations. Cats play only one game, and it's called hunting. All that adorable behavior with the catnip mouse and the feather-at-the-end-of-a-string is basically Stalk, Capture, and Deliver the Fatal Bite.Probably the most difficult cat/rabbit introduction is between a shy and/or small rabbit and an adolescent cat whose claws haven't been trimmed recently. In this or any situation where the cat chases, the initial acquaintance should take place with Daphne safely in her cage. Make sure that the wire is small enough that Felix can't stick his foot through it. Also give Daphne a hiding place within the cage, such as a cardboard box (this is a good general policy for all rabbits, especially shy ones, even in catless homes). Actually, any cat who interacts with a rabbit, regardless of how friendly they are, should have his claws kept trimmed. Clip off the curved, sharp tip about once a month. Your veterinarian can show you how to do this. A mild swat from an untrimmed claw can give your bunny an undetected scratch that may later blossom into an abscess.
When Daphne is in her cage, the two have a chance to get used to each other's smell, sounds, movements, etc. A cage that's large enough for the rabbit to do some dashing is ideal, as Felix will be able to observe rabbit aerobics and become accustomed to it.
This phase may take days, weeks, or even months, depending on the animals' personalities. Don't rush things. It's much better to go too slowly and succeed than to push it and stress Daphne or have to scold Felix. Scolding is the least effective method of feline education. It usually teaches the cat (a) wait till the humans are away and then torment the rabbit to your heart's content or (b) rabbit=scolding, which is not a good way to begin a friendship.
When you feel ready to move on, the next step is to give Daphne and Felix supervised access to each other. That means, hang out with them in a room where you can intervene if necessary, but don't intervene unless absolutely necessary. Give them a chance to work things out in their own way. If Felix is mostly respectful and curious, let him sniff and investigate. If he's rambunctious, squirt him with water a few times. Try not to let him know that it's you doing the squirting, or he will associate it with you instead of with the behavior. The water should come as an unpleasant surprise, or, more technically, an environmental reprimand. If you find you're resorting to the water-pistol frequently, that means you've moved ahead too soon. Go back to the cage phase. Eventually, most rabbits and cats get used to each other. It's just a matter of time and, in some cases, supervision.
This is by far the most common scenario. Cat and rabbit meet, indoors. Rabbit charges up to cat. Cat, non-plussed, backs off. The cat may even run from the rabbit. Most rabbits will chase only till they feel they've made their point. These two guys require no human intervention. Once Daphne feels she's asserted herself to her satisfaction, she and Felix can become roommates, friends, or soulmates.
If you're introducing a new rabbit to a resident cat, you may need to give the rabbit time to establish a sense of territory in your home before she takes on Felix. It's generally a good idea to confine a new animal, whether cat or rabbit, to a small area at first, either a cage or a single room. Change is stressful for rabbits as it is for humans. Arrival in a new home is more than enough stress for a rabbit. Don't put her in the position of having to get used to new territory, new humans, and new cat all at once. Wait till she's confident and comfortable.
At our foster home we rescue both cats and rabbits. Over the years we have had the opportunity to observe many cat/rabbit introductions. By far the most important element you can contribute to this process is your intuition. Get to know your own cat and rabbit. Listen to what they tell you about their level of stress, when they're ready for changes, whether they're lonely, and so on. Let them set the timetable. This is the information that will allow you to shape the general guidelines given here to suit your situation.
Creating a place where cats and rabbits can live together peaceably is a satisfying endeavor. It makes you think, if this predator can snuggle with this prey animal, maybe there's hope for a compassionate world, after all. It's a start, anyway.

text: Cisco and BMC Software today announced a cloud delivery platform that\u2019s designed to help service providers simplify and automate the provisioning of cloud services.Top 5 network management investmentsThe Integrated Cloud Delivery Platform, jointly developed by the two vendors, is targeted at providers that are building large-scale, multi-tenant cloud infrastructures. With it, cloud providers can eliminate many of the manual steps required to set up a cloud computing service running on an infrastructure that spans data center networks, servers, storage and applications, the vendors say.\u201cThe alliance brings Cisco\u2019s expertise in networking and computing together with BMC\u2019s expertise in cloud management and business service management to offer customers all the essential elements to quickly orchestrate cloud services and respond faster to changing business needs,\u201d says Paul Sanchirico, vice president of the service provider systems unit at Cisco.The integrated system combines Cisco\u2019s Unified Service Delivery (USD) technologies with BMC\u2019s cloud-computing software orchestration and management system, called Cloud LifeCycle Management (CLM). Unveiled last year, USD is a cloud computing platform for service providers that combines Cisco's CRS-1 core Internet router, Nexus 7000 data center switches and its Unified Computing System (UCS), which integrates blade servers with switching, storage access, virtualization and management.The joint Cisco-BMC platform \u201cprovides a full-stack provisioning capability for rapid provisioning of services, in minutes rather than days or weeks, and it provides full cloud lifecycle management \u2013 everything from how you request a service to how you configure and provision it,\u201d says Paul Avenant, senior vice president of products and strategy for enterprise service management at BMC.The Integrated Cloud Delivery Platform also includes a self-service management portal that lets service providers offer their customers a way to set up and tear down cloud services as their business requirements change.By reducing the complexity and speeding the delivery of cloud services, providers can pursue new revenue opportunities and alternate delivery models, Sanchirico adds.For multi-tenant cloud security, the platform employs Cisco\u2019s network container architecture that creates physical and virtual partitions based on customers\u2019 security and capacity requirements. Load balancing, firewalls and QoS features can be automatically attached to each container.\u201cThis helps [service providers] set up the network containers, determine which workloads are best suited for which containers, and automatically provision the systems or services into the appropriate containers. That\u2019s something they would have had to do manually on their own,\u201d Avenant says.In addition to speeding deployment, the container architecture delivers the enhanced networking capabilities that providers need to attract enterprise cloud customers, Sanchirico says.\u201cA lot of the cloud offerings today are kind of \u2018best effort\u2019 when it comes to the network capabilities or the Layer 4-7 service capabilities. What we\u2019re doing here is enabling the service providers to offer much richer capabilities,\u201d Sanchirico says. \u201cThe firewalls are part of what they\u2019re delivering, the load balancers are there, and the networking VLANs and VRFs are established as part of the service capabilities that providers can deliver to their enterprise customers.\u201dCisco and BMC have partnered in the past, including for last year\u2019s launch of Cisco\u2019s UCS. As part of that launch, the vendors integrated Cisco UCS Manager with BMC's Atrium CMDB and BladeLogic Service Automation products.For this effort, Cisco and BMC co-developed the technology, aligned their R&D and product roadmaps, and are coordinating their sales and marketing efforts. The new alliance also calls for Cisco to resell BMC\u2019s Service Assurance and Compliance solutions as an option on Cisco\u2019s UCS.Follow Ann on Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/annbednarzRead more about data center in Network World's Data Center section.

(CNN, March 27, 2014) — More than 6 million people have signed up for Obamacare, as a crush of people raced to get health insurance before the March 31 deadline.
Administration officials announced the milestone Thursday amid an intense outreach drive. There were more than 1.5 million visits to HealthCare.gov and more than 430,000 calls to the call centers on Wednesday.
Those who've started the application by next Monday but are unable to finish because of technical issues will receive more time to complete the process, officials have said.
Reaching 6 million is a symbolic victory for the Obama administration following the botched launch in October.
The Congressional Budget Office most recently estimated 6 million Americans would enroll in Obamacare in 2014, down from its initial 7 million projection.
The administration did not release a specific enrollment target, but adopted the CBO's figure as a goal.
But just how many people fully enroll in the program this year remains to be seen. The latest figures reflect those picking plans, not paying their premiums. Only those who pay their first month's premium are considered enrolled, while those who don't pay have their policy selections canceled.
Insurers have said that the share of people sending in payments is in the 80% range.

The Secret Beyond Matter
In the Qur'an, Allah commands people to examine every thing, ponder over it, and see the divine purposes behind all events. Recognizing the subtleties, taking pleasure in them, and presenting them to others in a form that causes delight underlies the essence of the arts. These features owe their existence to the Qur'an's values.
One of the verses by which Allah summons people to ponder is as follows:
Have they not looked at the sky above them: how We structured it and made it beautiful and how there are no fissures in it? And the land: how We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains onto it and caused luxuriant plants of every kind to grow in it, an instruction and a reminder for every devotee turning to Allah. And We sent down blessed water from the sky and made gardens grow by it and grain for harvesting and soaring date-palms with layered spathes. (Surah Qaf: 6-10)
Everything stated in this verse is encountered frequently by people in their daily lives. However, only the believers who strive to see the divine purposes in these things can see the beauty in them. A strawberry's color, a rose's odor, a banana's flawless packaging, the heavens adorned with stars—all of these mean a lot to the faithful. Art is one way to express these beauties and then interpret and incorporate them effectively into our daily lives. Various branches of art, such as painting, music, or decoration, convey the joy inspired by such beauties to the human soul.
In a society where people abide by the moral values of the Qur'an, every living thing and each incident stirs great joy in people's hearts and, accordingly, manifests itself in artworks, city planning, construction, landscaping, and so on. Artists who see the world through the outlook endowed by the Qur'an's teachings amaze the world with their masterpieces. Their innovative works happens to be unique and invigorate people's lives.
The Example of The Prophet Solomon (pbuh)
The Qur'an provides a detailed account about aesthetics. The Prophet Solomon (pbuh), who had a superior understanding of art, is a good example of the Muslims' aesthetic understanding. From the Qur'anic accounts, we understand that art, aesthetics, and beauty pervaded the Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) palace. Its floor, which was the first thing to catch people's attention, gave the impression of water, for it was made of glass. The sight of such a transparent floor appeals to the human soul and gives relief. It is also exciting, since it is unique. Indeed, the impact of the palace's splendor on the Queen of Sheba is related in the Qur'an as follows:
But what she worshipped besides Allah impeded her. She was from an unbelieving people. She was told: "Enter the courtyard." But when she saw it, she supposed it to be a pool and bared her legs. He said: "It is a courtyard paved with glass." She said: "My Lord, I have wronged myself, but I have submitted with Solomon to the Lord of all the worlds." (Surat an-Naml: 43-44)
The Qur'an provides further details about the Prophet Solomon (pbuh)'s life. One verse calls our attention to why he enjoyed wealth, power, and magnificence, which are blessings from Allah:
And he said: "Truly do I love the love of good, with a view to the glory of my Lord." (Surah Sad: 32)
Another verse informs us that he made his people produce various works of art:
They made for him anything that he wished: high arches and statues, huge dishes like cisterns, great built-in cooking vats. "Work, family of David, in thankfulness!" But very few of My servants are thankful. (Surah Saba: 13)
These works of art convey his elegant understanding of art. Today, only one wall of this temple known as Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem remains, but as the Qur'an and historical documents and accounts reveal, it was once a magnificent palace. In the Qur'an, Allah commands Muslims to take lessons from the Prophets' lives and moral excellence. In this sense, what the Qur'an tells us about the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) is very precious, for it exemplifies the kind of innovations Muslims can make in art and aesthetics, and how they can embellish earth with superb works of art. In the End Times, there will be people who adhere to the Qur'an and, in compliance with Allah's commands, take lessons from its accounts of the Prophets' lives. In this sense also, the End Times will have parallels with the Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) period.

An Ohio judge sentenced Richard Beasley to death on Thursday for the murder of three down-on-their-luck men who responded to an ad he placed on the Craigslist website for a nonexistent job.
Prosecutors had called Beasley a "false prophet," and a con man who manipulated his victims to keep himself out of prison, acting as the mastermind and triggerman in the killings he was convicted of committing along with a teenage accomplice.
"Beasley is a master manipulator even up to today, constantly trying to manipulate and lie," Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh told reporters afterward, calling it a well-deserved sentence.
After Summit County Common Pleas Judge Lynne Callahan imposed the sentence, Beasley, 53, told her he believed his convictions would be reversed and he would be found innocent.
"I want to make sure you understand: I have killed nobody," said Beasley, who was wearing prison red and white stripes and sitting in a wheelchair.
Beasley has complained of constant neck and back pain from an auto accident and has asked for special mattresses and shoe inserts while in prison.
Beasley was convicted in March of kidnapping and killing David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Virginia; Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron, and Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon, Ohio.
He was also convicted of the attempted murder of Scott Davis, 49, a South Carolina man who answered the Craigslist ad and was shot in the arm while escaping after meeting Beasley and the teen accomplice, Brogan Rafferty.
The ad had promised a $300-a-week job as a ranch hand in rural Ohio, but the job did not exist.
Beasley and Rafferty were convicted in separate trials. Rafferty was 16 at the time of the crimes and therefore not eligible for the death penalty. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole and plans to appeal his conviction.
Jurors had unanimously recommended that Beasley be sentenced to death. Under Ohio law, the judge had the option of imposing the death penalty or sentencing him to life in prison.
Davis as well as friends and family of the men killed were allowed to speak after the death sentence was imposed.
Davis said he had felt God's presence come over him after he was shot and later when he was walking through the woods looking for help, recalling his painful recovery from the wound. He also told Beasley he planned to attend his execution.
"I will be there as you go, smiling," Davis said.
Afterward, Davis told reporters that Beasley was simply "a liar" when asked about his claim of innocence.
"When he was shooting at me I saw nothing in his eyes," he said.
Debra Bruce, Pauley's twin sister, said her brother had thought the job would provide a fresh start, calling Beasley "an evil and vile person."
Beasley's mother, Carol Beasley, told jurors during the sentencing phase in March to spare her son, who she said was abused physically and sexually as a child--including by a stepfather, who beat him with an extension cord.
The attacks were among a series of incidents in which people advertising goods for sale or responding to ads on Craigslist and other social media have been attacked and killed.
In 2009, a former medical student was accused of killing a masseuse he met through Craigslist. Last year, two men in Tennessee were accused of killing a man and a woman for "unfriending" the daughter of one of the suspects on Facebook.

IT is an area with large employment opportunities but Pakistan has not been able to capitalize on that. Compared to India that creates 300,000 IT staff each year we hardly create 5000. The opportunity is to train large IT group each year and cater to the international, regional and local marketplace..
ecommerce now accounts for a significant part of world trade. A large number of ecommerce experts can create a demand for local products and thus create valuable jobs. There are also opportunities globally for onsite as well as remote jobs. The idea is to create a top notch training program online and train a large group every 6 months. The groups can be engaged in projects that create business value and generate money on their own..
Train 10000 from all walks of life even without formal IT training. All the ones with BA, BSC even FA FSC and diplomas should be trained to serve in various areas.
With a large number of ongoing projects and jobs, we could become a center for animation work from abroad and generate foreign exchange..

Intel said Thursday that Brian Krzanich, currently the chipmaker's chief operating officer, will become the company's new CEO on May 16.
Current CEO Paul Otellini announced in November that he would be stepping down this month after 38 years at the company, the final eight of which were at its helm.
"I look forward to working with our leadership team and employees worldwide to continue our proud legacy, while moving even faster into ultra-mobility, to lead Intel into the next era," Krzanich (pronounced "ker-SAN-itch") said in a prepared statement.
As Intel (INTC) tries to navigate its way through a transition in computing from PCs to mobile, investors were closely watching to see whether Intel would pick one of its own -- as it has always done -- or an outsider as its new CEO.
The 52-year old Krzanich has been at Intel for 31 years. Since joining Intel straight out of college in 1982, Krzanich has held jobs as a process engineer, a manufacturing manager, a plant manager and the head of assembly testing. Shares of Intel were flat in early trading.
Related story: Intel offers more evidence of PC decline
Yet the company's board believes Krzanich will be the right person to steer the company in a new direction.
"The board of directors is delighted that Krzanich will lead Intel as we define and invent the next generation of technology that will shape the future of computing," said Andy Bryant, chairman of Intel, in a prepared statement.
Bryant also praised Krzanich's "open-minded approach to problem solving."
If that proves to be correct, that out-of-the-box thinking could come in use. The recent shift in computing is one that Intel hasn't always found itself on the right side of.
Intel dominates the PC market, but it is just making its way into mobile phones and tablets six years after Apple (AAPL) unveiled the iPhone and changed the computing landscape.
Though Otellini's Intel has since made great strides at getting its chips inside smartphones and tablets -- including a high-profile partnership with Google's (GOOG) Motorola -- it is still threatened by British chip designer ARM (ARMH), whose licensed designs appear in 95% of all mobile devices.
Even the three-decade old Wintel partnership that brought both Microsoft (MSFT)and Intel to prominence is no longer an exclusive marriage. Microsoft made a new version of Windows available on ARM processors.
In an attempt to tighten its grasp on the mobile computer market, Intel began to push its Ultrabook vision on PC makers. Otellini promised that the lightweight computers, whose design specification Intel licenses to manufacturers, would make up 40% of PC sales by the end of 2012.
That didn't happen. Ultrabook prices remain high, and sales have been lackluster, along with the rest of the PC market.

.Democrats appeared to have slightly weakened the GOP's hold on Florida's congressional delegation Tuesday, but the size of their gain depended on the outcome of a race matching a nationally known Republican firebrand and a political newcomer.
With two new seats in play because of population gains between 2000 and 2010, Republicans appeared to be on track to carry no more than 18 of the 27 districts in Florida's delegation to the U.S. House. Democrats were likely to win at least nine and perhaps 10, up from the six seats they hold in the current Congress.
One Republican incumbent, embattled Rep. David Rivera, was already on track to being ousted. A second, Rep. Allen West, was in a fight for his political life that seemed headed for a recount.
The Democratic pick-ups were part of a mini-Democratic wave that seemed to be sweeping over Florida. Republicans lost seats in both chambers of the Florida Legislature, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson won re-election and President Barack Obama was in a neck-and-neck battle with GOP challenger Mitt Romney for the state's 29 electoral votes.
Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith said the gains highlighted "a model we can use in the future" based on a durable foundation built on the party's traditional advantage with women, young voters, black voters, Latinos and Asian-Americans.
"If we hold our traditional, Democratic base and the working and middle class, we can win in the South, and we can win particularly in Florida, which is the prize of the South," Smith said in an interview.
One Republican victory was a 22nd term for Congressman C.W. "Bill" Young, who has faced a spirited challenge from Jessica Ehrlich, seen as a young, rising star for Democrats.
Congressman Vern Buchanan easily beat back a challenge from former state Rep. Keith Fitzgerald. Republican newcomer Trey Radel defeated his Democratic rival Jim Roach to represent residents of Congressional District 19 in the GOP bastion of southwest Florida.
The GOP was also celebrating wins by two freshmen incumbents who were targets of Democrats, nationally. Freshman Rep. Dan Webster beat back a challenge from former Orlando police chief Val Demings in central Florida and Rep. Steve Southerland prevailed over Democratic challenger Al Lawson.
But many of the night's key wins went to Democrats. Lois Frankel, a former mayor of West Palm Beach and former state lawmaker, defeated former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner for an open seat in a district that runs south from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale before hooking west and heading toward Weston.
Former Congressman Alan Grayson, a strident liberal known for his fiery rhetoric, easily defeated Republican Todd Long in a Central Florida seat.
And Joe Garcia won a rematch with Rivera. The incumbent has faced an investigation by the Florida Ethics Commission and allegations that he funded a straw candidate to bash Garcia in the Democratic primary; Rivera has denied wrongdoing.
All eyes were focused on West's race against Patrick Murphy, a former moderate Republican who said he was running as a Democrat as a reaction to the Tea Party movement. Murphy was leading, but by just 0.32 percentage points, well within the one-half percent margin that would trigger an automatic recount.
West has become known for his own brand of unyielding and conservative rhetoric, suggesting that more liberal members of Congress were essentially Communists and observing that Joseph Goebbels would be proud of Democratic propaganda.
"Murphy is a rising star in the party and will be a strong voice for the people of Florida in the United States Congress," Smith said in a statement. "Tonight, the people of this district rejected divisive, hateful rhetoric in favor a fresh-faced, bipartisan approach centered around the issues important to Florida's middle class families."

Seite 317 - Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That, in the course of justice, none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.
Seite 105 - And loos'd his love-shaft smartly from his bow, As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts : But I might see young Cupid's fiery shaft Quench'd in the chaste beams of the wat'ry moon, And the imperial vot'ress passed on, In maiden meditation, fancy-free. Yet mark'd I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk-white, now purple with love's wound ; And maidens call it love-in-idleness.
Seite 104 - Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song ; And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
Seite 292 - If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? revenge : If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example ? why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute ; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
Seite 357 - Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile, Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court? Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, — The seasons' difference : as the icy fang And churlish chiding of the winter's wind, Which when it bites and blows upon my body, Even till I shrink with cold, I smile and say, This is no flattery : these are counsellors That feelingly persuade me what I am.
Seite 373 - All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players : They have their exits and their entrances ; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Seite 357 - That feelingly persuade me what I am. Sweet are the uses of adversity ; Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head ; And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.
Seite 328 - The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils : The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted.

Seite 292 - Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

BUS-P550 Business Process Design
- 7 weeks
- 1.5 credits
- Prerequisite(s): MBA Core
Every organization, whether it provides a tangible manufactured good or an intangible service (or some combination of the two) must manage a variety of processes. These processes transform inputs (such as raw materials, parts, human capital) to provide outputs (a tangible good or service) which are valued by customers. Organizations that effectively design these processes to minimize wasted time, motion and materials develop an advantage over their rivals. Most organizations have numerous processes, some of which are primary components of the chain of production, some of which are secondary functions, which play a supporting role. The true power of an effective process design is to eliminate functions that do not directly add value or directly support the organization's products/services. This course examines the key methods used to analyze, develop and improve transformation processes in both the manufacturing and service sectors. The objective is to develop an understanding of trade-offs and limitations involved in process design as well as to develop an understanding of many of the basic tools used to analyze and improve processes.
In addition to the development of an understanding of how to conceptually improve a business process, the student will learn a powerful modeling technique, Process Model. Process Model is one of the hot items in the marketplace for assisting in the analysis and improvement of business processes. Approximately one-half of the classroom time will be devoted to the learning and use of Process Model.
- How to re-engineer a process
- How to develop a process map
- How to make a process map come alive by simulating entities (flow units) through the various steps
- Terminology relating to looking at processes: cycle time, average flow rates, scheduled availability, theoretical capacity, etc.
- How to use Process Model, a computer language, to simulate and improve processes
- How to better understand process variability and it's impact of process goodness
- How queuing problems can be solved using simulation
- How simulation can be used to perform "algebra" on probability distributions
- How to "fit" raw data to probability distributions. These probability distributions can/will used in simulation models
- How to simulate a McDonalds restaurant; this a capstone project to help the student understand the real-world issues of modeling a process
