Pundits have been forecasting the demise of the hierarchical corporation for decades. We denigrate those authoritarian structures as controlling, territorial, bureaucratic, and slow--and we celebrate "alternatives" that are flatter, more democratic, and networked. But renowned organizational behavior expert Harold J. Leavitt argues that such alternative structures have not proven viable--or even desirable--and that despite its human failings, hierarchy remains the foundational shape of every large human organization. Why? Because it works. Top Down neither defends nor attacks the much-maligned hierarchy. Rather, this counterintuitive book convincingly shows that even the "flattest" of today's organizations are really just hierarchies in disguise--and to improve the ways hierarchies function, we must first acknowledge their inevitability. Exploring both the benefits and shortcomings of top-down structures, Leavitt shows how leaders can reshape hierarchies to incorporate the human values and motivations that enable employees to thrive. He then offers middle managers suggestions about how best to negotiate the way through those authoritarian mazes, while maintaining their personal integrity and even finding satisfaction in their work. Top Down is a refreshing, "get real" examination of the true state of today's workplace--and an important step toward creating organizations that are efficient and productive, but also egalitarian and humane. Harold J. Leavitt is Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior Emeritus at the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University.

Hardly anyone has a good word to say about hierarchies. They routinely transform motivated and loyal employees into disaffected Dilberts. Yet, the intensity with which we struggle against hierarchies only serves to highlight their durability. In this article, organizational behavior expert Harold J. Leavitt presents neither a defense of human hierarchies nor another attack on them. Instead, he offers a reality check, a reminder that hierarchy remains the basic structure of most, if not all, large, ongoing human organizations. That's because although they are often depicted as being out of date, hierarchies have proved to be extraordinarily adaptive. Over the past 50 years, for example, they have co-opted the three major managerial movements--human relations, analytic management, and communities of practice. Hierarchies also persist because they deliver real practical and psychological value, and they fulfill our deep need for order and security. Despite the good they may do, however, hierarchies are inevitably authoritarian.

Technology must continue to accelerate for at least four reasons: innate human curiosity, the human propensity to warehouse knowledge, the special character of science and technology's culture, and the competitive drive of for-profit organizations. After elaborating on those reasons and their interactions, this essay briefly considers potential effects of unrestrainable technological acceleration on such issues as the autonomy of the university, the erosion of science and technology's culture, future man-made disasters, and the likelihood of technology-driven societal upheavals. Some possible coping mechanisms are suggested.

Rigid, old corporate styles, like the inflexible steel and stone headquarters that symbolized them, are fast becoming quaint vestiges of things past. Many of today's managers are beginning to understand that encouraging some behaviors at the edge of accepted organizational propriety can actually help their companies achieve success in this new competitive environment. And hot groups are helping organizations do just that. Based on years of observing and participating in hot groups, the authors describe the conditions under which such groups flourish, the behaviors they exhibit, the type of leadership they require, and the benefits they bring. For those executives who believe that more hot groups might help stir the hearts and minds of their people, there remains the question of how to make them happen. The authors offer suggestions that managers can follow to create an environment fertile enough to allow hot groups to grow.

An information technology, involving the computer processing of information, mathematical programming for decision making, and simulation of higher order thinking through computer programs, will have far-reaching impact on managerial organization. Fewer people will be able to do more work and management will be able to deal with engineering, logistic, and marketing problems more effectively. Psychological problems may arise from the depersonalization of relationships within management, and education will more often take place outside of the organization.

November 28, 2014
A University of Colorado professor defended his essay comparing victims of the September eleventh World Trade Center attacks to Nazis, during his speech at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Tuesday night.
Ward Churchill says he wrote it from his gut the afternoon of the attacks in an attempt to examine the attackers' motives.
He says he was spurred to write the essay after television networks on the morning of the attacks "spu"' them as senseless, and government officials label the attackers as evil freedom-haters.
He says he didn't say the attacks were justified.
Churchill was talking to a crowd of about 300 people at Tuesday night's speech.
He also launched into a litany list of policies that may have played into Al-Qaeda's motives.
That includes sanctions against Iraq in the 1990's, which Churchill says left more than 500,000 Iraqi children dead, and the killings of Palestinian
children for throwing stones at Israelis.
The UW-Whitewater became the latest stage for Churchill. Some colleges have canceled his appearances because of protests to his
controversial essay.

Chris Baker Tendered Contract Offer By Redskins
The restricted free agent has been tendered a right-of-first-refusal contract offer, meaning he will remain under the Redskins' control entering the 2013 season but could still end up playing elsewhere.
Chris Baker has been tendered a right-of-first-refusal contract offer as a restricted free agent, meaning if he plays for the Redskins next season, he'll do so for $1.323 million.
"Man, it felt good, you know?" Baker said Monday by phone. "It was just a blessing coming true. I worked hard to come back from the [quadriceps] injury last year and played well with the minutes they gave me, and I'm happy that they were able to have me back with a nice tender."
The 6-foot-2, 333-pound nose tackle's contract was set to expire on Tuesday, when the new league year begins. Because Baker went undrafted out of Hampton in 2009, he was only eligible for the right-of-first-refusal offer, which means he can still negotiate with any other team willing to match, or exceed, his offer from the Redskins.
"I'm just gonna wait and see what my options are," Baker said. "I'd like to be with the Redskins for another year, but if someone comes to me with another offer, I'm gonna have to make a business decision and see what I have to do."
Baker played in all 16 games last season as Barry Cofield's backup and finished with 15 tackles. The Redskins also have Ron Brace under contract for next season at $715,000, and Chris Neild, who tore the ACL in his left knee during training camp, will make $555,000 in the third year of his rookie contract.
The Redskins have now locked up five of their six pending restricted free agents for next season, either with new deals or contract tenders. Tight end Logan Paulsen, fullback Darrel Young and outside linebacker Rob Jackson agreed to terms on Saturday, while long snapper Nick Sundberg did so on Sunday. Receiver/return specialist Brandon Banks remains unsigned.

Providing the latest business, scientific, and regulatory news for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
News from Europe's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry coupled with upcoming events, and exclusive articles and interviews from industry experts.
Will CMOs Provide Sufficient Capacity for Growing Biologics Demand?
The overall pharmaceutical market is shifting its focus from small molecule drugs to biologic compounds. At the same time, the patents on several existing biotherapeutics are likely to expire over the next five years. These two factors are contributing to greater demand for contract manufacturing services in the biopharmaceutical sector at a time when a gap already exists between available and needed capacity, according to Aiswariya Chidambaram, senior research analyst for life-sciences with market research firm Frost & Sullivan.
"While companies are making investments to increase capacity, it is very difficult to predict exactly how much capacity will be needed in the future. Biopharmaceutical manufacturers need to closely monitor the situation and establish strategic relationships with the contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) that meet their performance requirements and have the expertise and capacity they expect to require," Chidambaram notes.
Key changes in the biopharma market
Be aware of challenges facing CMOs
Complying with complex regulatory requirements is another key challenge faced by CMOs and also a driver for their use by biopharmaceutical companies. There are a wide range of product types, and many times the regulatory requirements are different. In addition, CMOs are trying to grapple with the uncertainties in the regulatory framework for biosimilars. While the European Union has made significant progress, the United States falls slightly behind, and it is still unclear what the approval process will ultimately entail, according to Chidambaram.
Further down the road, biopharmaceutical CMOs, which are currently largely located in the EU and the US, will face new competition from CMOs in emerging markets, most notably India. "At this point, CMOs in these emerging markets have yet to develop the technical expertise for most biopharmaceutical processes, but they are making advances and are preparing to enter the biosimilars marketplace in the future," Chidambaram explains.
Quality must remain top selection criteria
Alliances/consolidation to be expected
First, larger CMOs are acquiring smaller CMOs that have complementary technical expertise, target a new end user segment, and/or serve a specific geographic market. They are also in some cases acquiring manufacturing sites from biopharmaceutical firms as a way to rapidly increase capacity. Second, large biopharmaceutical companies are acquiring CMOs to ensure access to capacity, particularly in emerging markets, where it is difficult to gain entry for international companies. Third, because the biopharmaceutical industry is a high-technology sector, CMOs are forming alliances with technology providers in order to be able to provide the services required for the large number of new products that are coming to market that are based on newer technologies. Finally, venture capital firms have taken an interest in the biopharmaceutical manufacturers and CMOs, and are investing in/acquiring companies with products in late stage clinical trials with a likelihood of being commercialized. Such investment is helping to fund capacity expansions and addition of the latest technological capabilities for these CMOs.
Demand growing for integrated CMOs
CMOs that have invested in advanced upstream and downstream technologies and achieved reduced quality variability and increased productivity will be of particular interest to biopharmaceutical firms. Those that have implemented single-use manufacturing systems, which enable significant cost reductions, particularly in multi-product manufacturing settings, will also be in high demand. CMOs with advanced lyophilization capabilities and those that have implemented process analytical technology can expect greater interest from biopharmaceutical customers as well, according to Chidambaram. She adds that strong growth for injectable formulations over the next five years will drive further demand for CMOs that can provide support for the production of prefilled syringes. As importantly, Chidambaram says, is the growth of the mammalian contract manufacturing segment, which is expected to witness significant investments and capacity expansions of as much as 60% in the medium-to-long term, propelled by the high success and growth rates of complex, glycosylated monoclonal antibodies, and recombinant proteins.

The explosion of research in Monte Carlo methodology during the past 20 years has resulted in many application domains being analysed that were hitherto deemed impossible. It is the aim of this meeting to deliver an overview of recent advances in Monte Carlo methodology, the problems that remain to be solved, and some applications.
Richard Everitt: Missing data, and what to do about it. This talk describes two approaches to inference in the presence of missing or incomplete data: approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) and particle MCMC. Both methods are applied to parameter estimation of a hidden Markov random field, and are compared to the standard data augmentation approach.
Anthony Lee: Auxiliary variables and many-core computation. The use of auxiliary variables in various Monte Carlo methods has proliferated both explicitly and implicitly over the last two decades, as our understanding of how to devise effective algorithms has grown. In addition, massively parallel 'many-core' processors have become the focus of the high performance computing community for a variety of physical reasons. The confluence of these two streams of research provides an opportunity for novel development and re-assessment of algorithms using this parallel model of computation. I will overview some promising strategies, new developments and open questions in this area of research.
Nicolas Kantas: Particle methods for computing optimal control inputs. In this talk we consider how particle methods can be used for risk sensitive control problems. The approach is
based on earlier efforts for deterministic systems and is essentially a sequential Monte Carlo
(SMC) algorithm for an appropriate dual filtering problem.�We will describe how the approach can be used for scheduling unit commitment for power systems.
Nick Whitely: Stability properties of some particle filters. Whilst there is a rich literature on various theoretical properties of particle filters, most existing results which explain their stability properties rely on strong mixing assumptions which do not hold in typical applications. One of the main obstacles is dealing with a non-compact state space. This talk will describe recent developments which allow some stability properties of particle filters to be verified when the state space is non-compact.
Simon Maskell: Using a Probabilistic Hypothesis Density filter to confirm tracks in a multi-target environment. We describe a real-time scalable multi-target particle filter tracking, applicable to
tracking hundreds of targets, each of which is modelled with a low-dimensional continuous state (eg position and velocity in three dimensions). The approach is shown to maintain good tracking performance for high clutter, low-detection scenarios where Kalman filter based multi-target trackers fail to perform well. We also show results from a scenario with obscured regions where the target cannot be detected, and show that targets can be tracked through the obscurations.

The Capital of Annapolis
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - It's up to Daryl Jones whether his spot on the Anne Arundel County Council remains vacant while he's in prison.
There's nothing in the County Charter to force the District 1 councilman to give up his seat, despite his conviction for failing to file dozens of federal income tax returns.
Jones, a Severn Democrat, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore to five months in federal prison.
Observers said yesterday that this appears to be the first time the council has been faced with this situation.
The first county executive, Joe Alton, went to jail after leaving office in 1974 for conspiracy to commit extortion as part of a scheme to take kickbacks from contractors. He served seven months in federal prison.
"That's the only kind of criminal mischief thing I can think of," said Dan Nataf, a political science professor at Anne Arundel Community College and director of its Center for the Study of Local Issues.
The Jones situation does have parallels to an ongoing case in Prince George's County, where Councilwoman Leslie Johnson resigned last summer over federal corruption charges. But that's about it, Nataf said.
"I'm a little surprised that there isn't some ineligibility (to serve) that comes with being convicted of a crime," Nataf said.
In August, Jones pleaded guilty to willfully failing to file 35 personal and business federal tax returns _ a misdemeanor _ from 2002 through 2007. He owed the federal government more than $108,000, which he has since repaid. He still owes more than $27,000 in interest and penalties, prosecutors said.
Jones also must serve six months of house arrest, as part of a year of supervised probation, upon his release from prison.
He has not said if he will resign the council seat, which pays $36,001 per year and includes an option to participate in the pension and health care plans.
The protracted absence of one member of the council also could create other complications.
"Can (the council) run on six? That's an even number," Nataf said. "It would be a really awkward scene."
In other words, there would be no one to break a tie vote.
If Jones does resign, the remaining six council members have 30 days to appoint his replacement, who would serve out the remaining three years of his term.
"I'm confident that Councilman Jones will do what's right for the citizens of District 1," councilman Derek Fink said yesterday.
The Pasadena Republican stopped short of saying that Jones should step down. But he added that officials should re-evaluate the County Charter and see if there's a better way to deal with these situations.
If the county executive is convicted of criminal wrongdoing, he can be ousted from office, Fink said. Not so for council members.
"There is no mechanism," Fink said.
Council Chairman Dick Ladd, R-Severna Park, said this week that the charter appears to allow a council member to remain in office while serving in the military. There's a provision that a service member can be absent for 180 days and that absence is not considered a vacancy that needs to be filled, Ladd said.
"The only way you can interpret that is that for every member who's not a veteran, it's less than 180 days," said Councilman Jamie Benoit, D-Crownsville.
Benoit said last night that whether the charter needs to be rewritten to address situations like Jones' "is a question worth debating."
"It's just unfortunate," Benoit said. "It's not my business to tell Daryl to resign. But he's a conscientious, honest guy, and he'll make the right decision."
Yet others spoke out in support of Jones.
Annapolis Mayor Josh Cohen, a former county councilman, took to Twitter yesterday to declare his public support for Jones, calling his sentence "excessive."
"Every case has its own circumstances," said Cohen, who declined to speculate on what might happen to the council. "You have to take that into consideration . Daryl's failure was not a failure of public office. It was a personal failure."
Cohen served with Jones on the council from 2006 until 2009, when he was elected mayor. The former probation officer said there are two types of offenders: those who commit crimes with malicious intent and those who just make bad decisions.
Jones falls into the latter category, Cohen said.
"The intentions make a difference," he said.
But it's tough to say whether constituents would be so forgiving, Nataf said.
"He's term-limited, so he might have run for county executive," he said. "But I just don't know where he goes from this."

In situ cell separation and immobilization of bacterial cells for biodesulfurization were developed by using superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs). The Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized by coprecipitation followed by modification with ammonium oleate. The surface-modified NPs were monodispersed and the particle size was about 13 nm with 50.8 emu/g saturation magnetization. After adding the magnetic fluids to the Culture broth, Rhodococcus erythropolis LSSE8-1 cells were immobilized by adsorption and then separated with ail externally magnetic field. The maximum amount of cell mass adsorbed was about 530 g dry cell weight/g particles to LSSE8-1 cells. Analysis showed that the nanoparticles were strongly absorbed to the surface and coated the cells. Compared to free cells, the coated cells not only had the same desulfurizing activity but could also be easily separated from fermentation broth by magnetic force. Based on the adsorption isotherms and Zeta potential analysis, it was believed that oleate-modified Fe3O4 NPs adsorbed bacterial cells mainly because of the nano-size effect and hydrophobic interaction

November 27, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A lawyer for one of O.J. Simpson's co-defendants in a robbery case says a judge has ordered more than $3,500 in restitution paid to a victim.
Lawyer John Moran Jr. says Judge Jackie Glass ended a hearing Thursday with instructions that the six convicted co-defendants pay $3,560 to collectibles dealer Bruce Fromong. Moran is the attorney for former Simpson pal Charles Ehrlich.
Glass previously ordered Simpson, Clarence "C.J." Stewart and four other men to pay Fromong's medical bills related to injuries he allegedly suffered when he was robbed in September 2007 in a hotel room.
Simpson and Stewart were convicted on kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and conspiracy charges. The others pleaded guilty to felony charges.

In 1986, California passed a ballot initiative called Proposition 65, which required consumer products with potential cancer-causing ingredients to bear warning labels.
Rather than label their products sold in California as likely carcinogenic, most companies reformulated their product ingredients so as to avoid warning labels altogether, and most did this on a national scale, not just in California, to avoid carrying a separate inventory of products.
After it was revealed that a common additive known as "caramel coloring" on labels, or 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) scientifically, used in many sodas may cause cancer, soda bigwigs Coke and Pepsi announced that they would reformulate their caramel coloring in order to avoid adding a cancer warning label to their products in California.
But did they really?
Pepsi Products Outside of California Still Contain Carcinogenic Caramel Coloring
It's been more than a year since Coke and Pepsi declared they would be reformulating their products to remove 4-MI in their caramel coloring.
This artificial brown color is made by reacting corn sugar with ammonia and sulfites under high pressures and at high temperatures. This produces the chemicals 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole, which have been found to cause lung, liver and thyroid cancer in lab rats and mice.
