By Kim CretorsUniversity of GeorgiaThe University of Georgia Athletic Association has announced anew professorship in horticulture that, if approved, will bearthe name of outgoing athletic director Vince Dooley.UGA President Michael F. Adams, chairman of the AthleticAssociation board, announced the professorship during the group’sannual spring meeting.With the University System of Georgia Board of Regents’ approval,the Vincent J. Dooley Professorship in Horticulture will beestablished during the 2004-2005 academic year.Nonathletic renown”Over the years, Vince Dooley has pursued a personal interest ina number of areas beyond intercollegiate athletics,” Adams said.”He has achieved renown in his own right for his knowledge andpractice in the field of horticulture. The creation of this namedprofessorship is especially appropriate given his passion forgardening and is a step that will strengthen our academicprograms in this area.””I was very surprised, yet very grateful,” Dooley said of theannouncement. “Over the years, I’ve enjoyed auditing courses atthe university in a variety of disciplines, but my latest suchventures have been in horticulture. Due to the enthusiasm of somegreat teachers like (UGA horticulture professors) Michael Dirrand Allan Armitage, I developed a real passion for gardening. Forthat reason, the endowed professorship is very meaningful andspecial to me.”‘Dooley’ bloomsDooley has a hydrangea variety (Hydrangea macrophylla’Dooley’) named after him.The plant is a “remarkable, cold-hardy, mop-headed selectiondiscovered in the garden of Coach and Mrs. Vince Dooley,” reportsDirr’s Web site (www.nobleplants.com). After an early Marchfreeze in 1996, the site notes, the only hydrangea plant in thearea with significant flowers was “the 6- to 7-foot-high, robustplant in Coach Dooley’s garden.”Starting in 1999, Dooley helped secure a designation for theentire UGA campus as an arboretum. He chaired the committee thatled to a campus tree tour and a set of plaques that identify manytree and plant species.The Athletic Association has designated $250,000 from recentcontributions to establish the professorship. The association hasgiven more than $2 million to a fund that supports nonathleticacademic programs at UGA.”We’re particularly pleased the Athletic Association designatedresources to establish a professorship honoring Coach Dooley,”said Gale Buchanan, dean of the UGA College of Agricultural andEnvironmental Sciences.”Such a professorship honors a man of many talents,” Buchanansaid. “While his many accomplishments in athletics are widelyknown, this professorship recognizes his commitment andlong-standing support of academic pursuits.”(Kim Cretors is the news bureau manager with the University ofGeorgia Office of Public Affairs.)

It’s not a miscalculation.You will know something is bad strategy if:It’s just fluff, like “we will strive for customer-centric intermediation.” (What does that even mean?)It’s just a bunch of financial targets;The actions are incoherent; orIt’s an aspiration without a diagnosis of a problem. “If you don’t know what the problem is you can’t solve it,” said Rumelt, the Harry and Elsa Kunin Professor of Business & Society at UCLA Anderson.“Another sign of a bad strategy is what I call a dog’s dinner”—a cooking mishap best left to your pet—he said. He shared an example of the “strategy” for a city in the Pacific Northwest. This city had 47 strategies and 178 action items. Action item number 122 was “develop a strategy plan.”
U.S. airlines employment will fall to the lowest since the mid-1980s by the end of 2020, the result of the pandemic’s devastating impact on the sector, an industry group said Thursday.Airlines will have cut the equivalent of about 90,000 jobs by then, the result of more than 30,000 furloughs at airlines like United and American that began last month and the departure of thousands of other workers that accepted buyouts from Southwest, Delta and other carriers.Passenger carriers and their employees’ labor unions have repeatedly urged Congress for a second $25 billion federal aid package to preserve jobs through March, but so far Congress and the White House haven’t reached an agreement on a new national coronavirus stimulus package, or aid solely for battered sector.- Advertisement – The industry’s workforce in the fourth quarter will fall to about 370,000 full-time equivalent jobs, from 460,000 in March, according to Airlines for America, a trade group that represents the major U.S. airlines.Air travel demand has begun to recover from more than five-decade lows hit in April, early in the pandemic, but it remains a fraction of last year’s levels. Since the start of October, the Transportation Security Administration screened 34 million people, down nearly 65% from the 97 million people who went through airport checkpoints during the same time last year.Thanksgiving will provide only a modest uptick in demand, and airline executives on Thursday highlighted continued challenges facing the business in the pandemic.- Advertisement – – Advertisement – Airlines for America said U.S. carriers’ Thanksgiving-week capacity will be down close to 39% from a year ago, compared with a 47% drop in the first two and a half weeks of November.Southwest on Thursday said a revenue rebound appeared to be losing steam for November and December bookings.“While the Company expected the election to impact trends, it is unclear whether the softness in booking trends is also a direct result of the recent rise in COVID-19 cases,” Southwest said in a filing “As such, the Company remains cautious in this uncertain revenue environment.” Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian noted the optimism following positive results from a Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine trial released earlier this week, news that sent airline stocks soaring, but warned the industry isn’t out of the woods.“Keep in mind that while developing a vaccine is an important step, widespread distribution will take many months, so we continue to expect 2021 will be a year with continued challenges,” he said in a staff note.

Published on March 20, 2013 at 9:48 pm Contact Michael: mjcohe02@syr.edu | @Michael_Cohen13 Facebook Twitter Google+ SAN JOSE, Calif. — For the second time in two years, Syracuse entered the NCAA Tournament in the middle of a story where basketball was not the focus. Its on-the-court achievements and current preparation once again took a backseat to reports of NCAA activity that cast a bit of a cloud over a team playing arguably the best it has all season.“Same story they had last year at this time,” head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I guess that’s annual. I guess next year we’ll get it again.”CBS Sports reported Wednesday that the Syracuse basketball team has been under investigation for a period of years, and that the school has received a letter of preliminary inquiry from the NCAA. The article comes one year after Fab Melo was pronounced ineligible two days before the Orange took the floor against UNC-Asheville in Pittsburgh.Boeheim fielded a handful of questions on the matter in his press conference Wednesday afternoon inside HP Pavilion, offering little more than several variations of “no comment.” Daryl Gross, Syracuse’s athletic director, would not comment on the record. He referred all questions to the answers Boeheim provided minutes earlier.“There’s no distractions for me,” Boeheim said. “And these players, there’s absolutely no distractions for them. They’re here to play Montana, and that’s it.”AdvertisementThis is placeholder textSyracuse takes the floor against the Grizzlies on Thursday at 9:57 p.m.Boeheim explained that the biggest difference from this year to last year is that the 2011-12 team was forced to deal with the absence of one of its most important players. Melo, a 7-foot center who was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year, had emerged as a threat on both ends of the floor for a team that lacked quality depth at the center position.This year’s story is “just talk,” as Boeheim described it.“Last year was completely different,” he said. “That was not a distraction, it was an absence. And they handled it as well as they could.”Gross grew frustrated when asked about the CBS Sports report. He said Boeheim’s comments provided everything that needed to be said, and he walked away when asked to confirm that the school had received a letter of inquiry from the NCAA.Brandon Triche, a senior guard, said he had not heard about the report, meaning it wasn’t any sort of a distraction. He said he and his teammates were not a part of it, so it won’t take away from their focus.Boeheim, though, is a part of it. And though the moderator attempted to quell reporters from probing the matter, Boeheim seemed to welcome the questions if only for an opportunity to deflect them.“I don’t mind,” he said. “You can ask a hundred of them.”But even when all the questions were asked, no new information was offered. Syracuse still has a game to play, and that, Boeheim said, is most important.“Doesn’t bother me,” Boeheim said. “Not at all. We’re concerned about playing Montana.” Comments
The National Inventors Hall of Fame and the History Channel’s Modern Marvels program has named Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis research as one of the top 25 best inventions of 2006. Khoshnevis, a professor in USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering presented his work in Washington D.C. on July 23, NASA’s annual Technology Day.Out of this world · As well as teaching, Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis also serves as a Felllow member of the Institute of Industrial Engineering. – Photo courtesy of USC Viterbi School of EngineeringKhoshnevis’ research is based on his invention of the groundbreaking automated construction method called “Contour Crafting,” which creates large scale structures layer by layer, similar to that of the process of 3-D Printing.For his work with NASA, Khoshnevis tailored the process of “Contour Crafting” for extraterrestrial applications.“I was looking at areas where my technology could be used besides the applications in building construction,” Khoshnevis said. “I thought about construction on the moon or on Mars, and I noticed that primarily, everything is based on taking stuff from Earth.”Khoshnevis, in collaboration with NASA, is developing landing pads for the moon and Mars.“So far, everything that has landed on the moon and Mars has landed on soft soil, and that is pretty dangerous… You need a flat surface which is also strong, which is also capable of handling high temperature of the exhaust fumes.”If successful, Professor Khoshnevis’ endeavors could vault USC onto the global stage.“Professor Khoshnevis’ research really establishes USC as a global community, and I think many students will be inspired by his passion to further pursue their own goals,” said Ying Ying Lei, a sophomore majoring in electrical engineering.Brian Weiniger, a junior majoring in astronautical engineering, also praised Khoshnevis’ research.“Colonizing the moon can be done in many ways. Rather than sending rockets to build lunar outposts piece by piece, this new technology holds the capability to build everything on the moon while using materials that are already there,” Weiniger said. “It goes to show how brilliant the professors are at USC. Having role models like Khoshnevis teach at our school is inspiring for students to push the envelope and create the ideas that will mold our future.”Khoshnevis teaches both industrial and systems engineering, and civil and environmental engineering classes, and is the director of the Center for Rapid Automated Fabrication Technologies, as well as the Manufacturing Engineering Graduate Program at USC. His work, however, is not limited to the field of engineering.“There are a lot of students sending me emails who want to be a part of the technology development,” Khoshnevis said. “There are students from architecture, engineering, business school, even social sciences and the arts. There is a sense that we are on the edge of something that could change the face of civilization.”While his research has already achieved significant results, Khoshnevis has even loftier expectations for it.“What I basically envision and hope is that one [of] the most major technologies that will have a very significant impact on the well-being of the whole population is about to emerge out of this activity,” he said.
