...Using Teams in Production and Operations Management Governments around the globe are investing in businesses and banks in an effort to avoid a complete collapse of affected institutions. However, the general public is not convinced that the government will be able to effectively run the businesses it has acquired with any better dexterity than existing mismanaged government budgets. Furthermore, although the infusion of funds may temporarily secure investments, it does not effectively alter the transactions that instigated the decline. (/money, 2011) Inflated values of derivatives, fueled by ambitious speculation and fortunes amassed by paper transactions rose to catastrophic levels. Derivatives are commitments to purchase commodities or financial instruments at a fixed price, with an agreement to take profits if the value of the asset rises. In recent years, mortgages sold at subprime rates were bundled into securities. Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch created offsetting credit derivatives to protect investors in the event that these securities defaulted. Credit derivatives benefitted from profits derived from the increased number of subprime loans and home sales during the real estate bubble. When housing prices dropped and interest rates rose, many adjustable-rate subprime mortgage owners were unable to keep up with the higher monthly payment. Mortgages defaulted, demand for houses cooled abruptly, and the suddenly above market rates of credit derivatives collapsed....

...Korean War Korean War The Korean War (25 June 1950 - armistice signed 27 July 1953[1] ) was a military conflict between the Republic of Korea, supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC), with military material aid from the Soviet Union. The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II. The Korean peninsula was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of Japan in 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th Parallel, with United States troops occupying the southern part and Soviet troops occupying the northern part.[2] The failure to hold free elections throughout the Korean Peninsula in 1948 deepened the division between the two sides, and the North established a Communist government. The 38th Parallel increasingly became a political border between the two Koreas. Although reunification negotiations continued in the months preceding the war, tension intensified. Cross-border skirmishes and raids at the 38th Parallel persisted. The situation escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950.[3] It was the first significant armed conflict of the Cold War.[4] The United Nations, particularly the United States, came to the aid of South Korea in repelling the invasion.

...Knowledge & Information Systems Bus 650 Spring 2013 Chervon McElroy International Business Machine better known as IBM is an American computer manufacturer that was established in 1911. IBM was formed from the merge of several companies. These companies were known as the Tabulating Machine Company which was used to count the population for the US Census, the International Time Recording Company who produced clocks and other time recorders, and The Computing Scale Company which produced commercial computing scales that provided the weight and price of a retailers products. This product was popular with butcher and dairy retailers. For a few years after the merge the company was known as Computing-Tabulating-Recording or CTR until 1924 when the company changed its name to IBM. IBM has been in many markets throughout its years. Other than taking over the vast businesses and products when the company merged back in 1911, the company has taken advantage and used the technology in earlier products to create new ones. In the 1930’s IBM started producing calculators using the technology from their tabbing machines. In the 1940’s IBM partnered with Harvard University to finance the invention of the first machine to compute long calculations automatically.[i] Although IBM did not create the first computer, by 1953 the company was producing their own line of computers. In the 1970’s IBM introduced the floppy disk which allowed customers to store and save data. IBM created...

Some say that Vatican II is a remarkable breakthrough in the history of the church, while others demur at these opinions strongly and not a few people have left the Roman Catholic Church unfortunately. On the verge of coming third millennium, Ormond Rush tries to clarify what determines the orthodoxy from three theological spheres; theology of religious language, theological epistemology and theological hermeneutics. Summary To begin with Rush defines orthodoxy as God’s revelation. According to him, there are discrepancies in comprehension of orthodoxy between “Dei filius” and “Dei verbum”; the former...
