...findings to the world of politicians, voters, and interest groups.40 A brief public choice analysis explains many of the problems of the current system and points to parental choice as the solution. Public choice analysis assumes that politicians, although they have a variety of desires, try to maximize their ability to get re-elected. They therefore pay more attention to organized interest groups, the media, and segments of the population which actively participate in politics than to the public at large. This is not to say that politicians are immoral or operate against the wills of the voters. Rather, just as retailers court those customers who have the most to spend in their stores, politicians listen to those who have the most impact on their re-election. In politics, it is the squeaky wheel and, more particularly, the well-funded, influential wheel, that gets the grease. When this insight is applied to the current public school system, it is easy to see why "the system" as a whole has developed a resistance to competition. There is no organized lobby for parents concerned about their children’s performance.41 There are, on the other hand, a number of very organized, politically active interest groups that support the current system.42 While these organizations—public school employee unions, school board and administrator associations, intermediate school districts, urban and rural school districts—do not agree on all points, they all tend to oppose parental choice and support...

Slocum Pappalardo Professor of Mechanical Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA slocum@mit.edu ™ FUNdaMENTALS of Design Pappalardo Series in Mechanical Engineering This book was made possible by a generous gift from Neil and Jane Pappalardo Support for this book was also provided by the Cambridge-MIT Institute, and iCampus the Microsoft-MIT Alliance ©2007 Alexander H. Slocum ABOUT This Book A college student challenged a senior citizen, saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his. "You grew up in a different world," the student said. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers..." Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the geezer said, "You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young; so we invented them! What are you doing for the next generation?"1 This book is about helping people to learn how to create their own future! It does this by taking advantage of the fact that the reader’s LEFT brain sees the LEFT side (FUN) of the book. The RIGHT brain sees the (MENTAL) side of the book. Its simply FUNdaMENTAL! This in itself is a key feature of this book: It seeks to train the brain to think by many a link. Creating things is NOT done by following a monotonous recipe... The ability to create can be learned by anyone who has a yearn to learn! But the eye must be quick to sort and pick! Embedded inside, many...

...Burton is wheel chair bound. The case is about him and his disability, He is majoring in music and the music building has no ramps and just stairs. Multiple times have a student had to carry Edward to class, and it’s a real inconvenience for him. Being a state college the school should be able to accommodate handicapped students, but the school says the music building has been there for over 200 years and is significantly important to the school. To make any changes to upgrades to the building it would lose the historic look and really wouldn’t be historic anymore. The other issue the state school has is that the costs of the ramps and other modifications to make the building ADA compliant would cost them $1 million. Issue: Edward Burton and the State college both have asked for an arbitration meeting. This meeting will be used to make a decision without going to court. Whether the State college should accommodate Edward per his request of ramps and other renovations to comply by the ADA or let the music building sit the way it is like the state college wants it. Legal Concepts: Under title 2 of the ADA it covers “public entities”. Which means any “..State or local government and any of its departments, agencies, or other instrumentalities.” According to Title 2 in the ADA a disability “Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a "major life activity" Which Edward has, he cant walk for long without loosing his balance, and since he’s in a school where...

...Week 3 Individual Assignment 1: Mile High Cycles Case Analysis Questions 1, 2, & 3 ACCT 6273, Section 7 Identifying Strategic Implications in Accounting Data MILE HIGH CYCLES CASE ANALYSIS * (Exhibit 3 Below) * (Exhibit 4 Below) * The variances are due to the Mile High Cycle company not forecasting for increased production. The company budgeted for the production of 10,000 cycles but the actual production was 10,800 units. When the company increased production, the production efficiency decreased. The company had to use or rework parts that added extra cost to the expenses; the reworked parts added $25,000 of extra expenses to the wheel assembly production and $45,000 to the final assembly process. The material, labor cost, labor efficiency, and labor rate variances all increased and created unfavorable expenses. The company's overhead cost, which included an assumed other cost section, that was 2/3 variable and 1/3 fixed also increased with the increased production. Mile High's final assembly process has the highest expenses and variance. I think that the company had to utilize different parts suppliers due to short notice of increased production, and when they utilized a different supplier the accuracy of the parts decreased. The purchasing managers could have also been lazying in doing their job, and not negotiated for lower supply prices. Mile High's labor expenses may have increased due to overtime and having to hire new employees. The variable portion...

... Keller Graduate School of Management MM522 Marketing Management Zach Yabs 1.0 Executive Summary The Twheel is an innovation on the pneumatic tire that uses an internal structure of spokes instead of air pressure to hold a tire together. The Twheel will provide value to customers via increases in performance, safety, and durability, as well as decreasing maintenance times, and environmental and personal costs. There are issues to contend with such excessive vibration and safety concerns that must be corrected. The Twheel will be introduced to the U.S. market in a three phase roll-out. The Twheel will gain acceptance in the market through an initial deployment into auto-racing, which will showcase the effectiveness of technology to the masses. Coinciding with the auto-racing deployment will be heavy advertising and promotions budgets, as well as celebrity endorsements that will establish the brand image. The roll-out will then proceed to the luxury car segment at premium pricing, and then conclude with mass retailers and most car manufacturers at reduced prices. The time frame of the initial roll-out will be approximately 5 years. Future targets will include military, construction, and specialty personal transportation vehicles. 2.0 Situational Analysis 2.1 Market Summary The tire industry is well developed, yet the emerging Twheel will have its own industry characteristics.
