Two reasons come to mind: (1) Like the proverbial mountain, the challenge was there to be climbed, and (2) I was on my way to such a selection by developing, for the 50 th anniversary of the founding of ORSA, a timeline of important OR events that included the publication of seminal books. Thus, when Peter Horner, the editor of ORMS Today, asked me for such a ...

I’m recovering from the end of the semester. I’m looking forward to a return to regular blogging. I’ll start writing about the end of the semester. I decided to have some fun with my stochastic processes final this semester and to write questions about werewolves and Star Wars (I was inspired by Tallys Yunes’s vampire network flow).

Organic farming has been one of the fastest growing segments of U.S. agriculture
for over a decade. The U.S. had under a million acres of certified organic
farmland when Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990. By

farmland had doubled, and doubled again between 2002 and 2005. Organic livestock
sectors have grown even faster. ERS collected data from USDA-accredited State
and private certification groups to calculate the extent of certified organic
farmland acreage and livestock in the United States. These are ...

What was mystifying about her opposition, as TPM noted , was that she did not mention that Rauf had a long-term relationship with the Bush administration. Nor did she mention that as the Bush State Department's chief of outreach to Muslims she participated with him in multiple bridge-building efforts to the Muslim world. Here's her explanation: Hughes claimed in a statement to me that she doesn't remember any of the ...
