Terror Trends Bulletin, by Christopher Holton, Nov. 21, 2014:
With so many Jihadist threats metastasizing around the world, it's getting tough to keep track. There are more Jihadists fighting in more countries than ever before. Here are just a few examples:
- The Islamic State
- HAMAS/Islamic Jihad in Israel
- Boko Haram in west Africa
- Al Shabaab in east Africa
- Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb
- Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
- Al Qaeda on the Indian Subcontinent
- The Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan
- Lashkar e Taiba in India and Pakistan
- Hezbollah in Lebanon
- Jemaah Islamiyah in Malaysia and Indonesia
- Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB)
- Ansar al Sharia in Libya
- Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines
Not long ago, America's attention was focused on our porous southern border when thousands of unaccompanied minors were flooding across at an orchestrated invitation signaled by President Obama. That story seems to have been largely forgotten, except by people in border states.
Now, however, with President Obama's unilateral executive action on illegal immigration, the border will likely come back into focus.
When the Mexican border was the top of the news, it served as a reminder that our southern border is almost completely unsecure. And there have been some reminders mixed in about the potential for a terrorist threat from south of the border, such as James O'Keefe of Project Veritas wading across the Rio Grande dressed like Osama Bin Laden.
But the Jihadist threat from south of the border is not new. It has been discussed since before 9/11. The Jihadist threat on the southern border is real and it is multifaceted.
For instance in May 2001, former Mexican National security adviser and ambassador to the United Nations, Adolfo Aguilar Zinser, reported, that 'Islamic terrorist groups are using Mexico as a refuge.'
There is no way to estimate how many jihadists may already have crossed into the U.S. from Mexico. But the time to play politics with the border issue is long past. The shallow sloganeering and race-baiting that have dominated the national debate about border controls should be recognized as what they are: hindrances to sane and sensible national defense measures.

Gov. Bobby Jindal says he saw three groups of people try to illegally cross into Texas from Mexico when he traveled to the border to get a closer look at the nation's immigration crisis.
On Monday, the Republican governor received a helicopter view of the area, took a boat tour up the Rio Grande River and spoke with public safety officials about the influx of people illegally entering the United States.
Jindal, a likely 2016 presidential candidate, blamed President Barack Obama for creating a climate that encouraged larger numbers of people to try to come to the country illegally.
Also on the trip were Louisiana's state police superintendent, Col. Mike Edmonson, and House Speaker Chuck Kleckley. The security briefing and tours were handled by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

3rd year to stay for our annual Williams Ranch Party. The Lodge is great for views, comfort, and most of all the best "West Texas Hospitality" you can find. As another comment we reviewed stated this is our 3rd stay here and they treated us just like family coming in to town. You just don't see that anywhere. You give your credit card and that is the most important part you play when you stay with most all motels, hotels, or lodges. Also we always enjoy the fundraising cook off, the Fort Tour, shopping down town, the observatory, all of the dining, and the fantastic views. See you next year Mountain Trails Lodge.
5 sur septembre 06, 2014
This is the perfect place if you enjoy getting away from the big city and if you like beautiful scenery. We took beautiful drives around the area and the Fort is spectacular. The Turners were great hosts and treated us each morning to an amazing breakfast.
4,6 sur avril 15, 2014
I'm handicapped and so used the only cabin with a ramp. It was a wonderful cabin, but not really set up for someone with legs that don't work. I brought my own potty chair and it's a good thing I did, because I could NOT use the toilet as it was. Even another bar on the wall opposite the door probably would not have made it usable. I didn't try the shower, but it looked like it would be okay. I could have backed into the tiny room, transferred to the bathtub bench and used the hand-held shower. The lip on the threshold of the front door was problematic. When the wind caught that door to the outside and slammed it back, it was hard to get over the threshold so I could grab the door knob to pull it closed at the same time I was trying to reenter the cabin. That door knob gave me fits! I had the hardest time getting it to turn! Maybe a knob with more texture would help. Also, I couldn't reach the controls on the air-conditioner/heater, so it stayed on the whole time I was there. Moving that unit down somehow might save you some money on the electric bill. I brought my own portable ramp, and it's a good thing, because I could not get into some of the rooms. It might serve you guys well to purchase a portable ramp for the lodge, because that would increase the accessibility. The large room where the presentations were made could be made more accessible by putting the current ramp where the stairs are (makes for a straight shot into the door) and the stairs where the ramp is now. Then the portable ramp (which I hope you'll buy) could complete the path (to jump that 5-6 inch step) into the room, though you might have to built the top of the platform wider to accommodate the length of the portable ramp. And that building needs a handicap accessible toilet as well. You're SO CLOSE!

This was my third year to stay at Mountain Trail Lodge. It is quiet, clean and very pleasant. Jenny and Scott have a way of making one feel at home, not just as paying guest. Each year I look forward to visiting with them. And to top it off, the food is outstanding.
4,6 sur avril 14, 2014
I enjoyed my stay here. The food was fantastic, the people friendly, and the bed comfortable. Mountain Trails Lodge is located close enough to explore Alpine and Ft. Davis all in a short weekend.
5 sur mars 22, 2014
There is no other way to describe our stay at Mountain Trails Lodge except to say that it's like going home, only better. Scott, Jenny and Brian are down-to-earth, without guile, intelligent, and willing to do whatever it takes to help you while you're with them. We have stayed with them before and will continue to book with them when we go to Ft. Davis, which we hope will be for many years to come. They've become our kin. Thanks, all of you, and God bless MTL and you.
5 sur mars 16, 2014
We stayed here the week of Spring Break from Saturday night through Tuesday night. The accommodations were great - VERY clean and had everything we needed. The FULL breakfast each morning was excellent (eggs and a meat each morning along with either biscuits or muffins, awesome pancakes, and French toast the mornings we were there. Also fresh fruit, yogurt and cereal each morning). We will definitely stay here again when visiting Ft. Davis!
4,6 sur janvier 18, 2014
This is one of the first vacations my husband and I had had in 10 years. This was the last leg of our journey and I was not dissappointed in the accommodations or service at Mountain Trails Lodge. The owners were absolutely wonderful and the breakfast every morning could not have been better at any five star restaurant. Thanks for such a wonderful stay.
5 sur janvier 04, 2014
During a tour of far West Texas, we chose to celebrate our anniversary with a two night stay in Fort Davis. We chose the Mountain Trails Lodge. On first view, I had hoped for massive mountains right off the deck. That is not the case, though the view is spectacular! After a tour of the area, we had the best possible "relax on your porch" view possible. Add to that the friendliest and most accommodating hosts, phenomenal breakfasts, and just overall a great vibe - we stayed another night! We will most certainly be back. You won't be disappointed!!
4,2 sur décembre 19, 2013
I would return to Mountain Trails Lodge and recommend it to others - particularly as a great base from which to explore the Ft Davis area. It's right on the highway to everything; easy in-an-out; spotless, modern cabins; and run by a couple of great people who you will wish were family once you get to meet them. My deepest regret is that we missed barbecue night. Oh, and by the way, their complimentary breakfast is a REAL breakfast - like sausage, biscuits and gravy, eggs, waffles, good fresh fruit - not cold bagels, muffins and cereal.

Ozone depletion interactive lab
What is the process by which CFCs destroy ozone? This informational piece, part of an interactive laboratory series for grades 8-12, explores the destruction of the ozone layer by chlorofluorocarbons. Here students view a four-step animation that shows how ultraviolet light breaks chlorine free from a CFC molecule. The chlorine then destroys an ozone molecule. Additional steps show how the process can be continuous. Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse

Thinking involving very large and very small quantities
Intuitively a million is a lot more like a billion than ten is like one hundred, because our intuition has some grasp of ten and one hundred, but we have little grasp of what millions and billions involve. Fortunately, there is often a way to make intelligent decisions involving big quantities. Use arithmetic! Typically we don't need more than multiplication and division to put things into terms we can deal with. If we are unwilling or unable to do the calculations, we should at least recog
Microbes : too smart for antibiotics?

Redesigned in 2013, the new Spirit E-310 Propane Gas Grill is complete with all the essential features a griller could want in an affordable package. With the control panel conveniently moved to the front, two full-use stainless steel tables allow for food platters and prep. The grill offers enough room to cook a 20 lbs. turkey or roast meats and vegetables at the same time. Porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates provide superior heat retention and clean up easily, and the durable porcelain-enameled shroud will not fade, peel or rust. An Electronic Crossover ignition system lights the three burners with just one touch of the igniter button, and an easy-to-read fuel gauge accurately measures the amount of LP gas in the tank.

How Instagrammable Is Instagram For Your Small Business?by Ron Callari
While it's often been said, "a picture's worth a 1000 words," none of the current crop of social networks have given as much credence to that sentiment as Instagram. Yet, on the same token, can a platform (which is almost 100-percent mobile-based) really benefit those in small businesses saddled to their computers, working on the 'cube farms'?

Only five special Final Edition vehicles will be sold to deep-pocketed buyers looking for a far out of the ordinary far-eastern wannabe supercar.
My Other Bicycle Is A Chevrolet... Wait, What??by Motors.new
While American cars are a tough sell in Japan, American bicycles are practically flying off the shelves.

Can Management Advance in This Way? A Question from the Global Drucker Forum 2014
The 6th Global Drucker Forum ended on November 14 with a series of comments and calls to action from the major speakers involved. The last of these was HBS professor Clay Christensen, who called for more cooperation and harmonizing of language among management experts. He illustrated the kind of cooperation he was talking about with a story about Florida governor Jeb Bush and how he had shared slides from a presentation on the topic of child-centred education and the reform of the American education system. Forbes columnist Steve Denning quoted Christensen's story in full and suggested that this is the way the management field should be headed.
I responded to his column and here is an expanded version of my comments:
"Perhaps Jeb Bush should have started closer to home with his brother, George W. who, with the No Child Left Behind legislation, embraced an evidence-based learning model. This required regular, standardized testing with teachers' performance assessments based on the results. Many educationists see it as the antithesis of child-centered learning. The battle between the two continues to this day.
Oppressive Bureaucracies Are a Symptom Not a Cause: Part I
This week I am off to Austria for two conferences. I am a keynote speaker at the Innovation Congress in Villach on November 13, where I will be talking about "The Ecology of Innovation" and I will then travel to Vienna to take part in the 6th Global Drucker Forum, where I am chairing a panel. I will be reporting on both meetings in future blogs.
In the meantime the buildup to the Drucker Forum continues, with HBR blogs from several of the management gurus who are going to be present. Gary Hamel is one of those blogging; he published "The Core Incompetencies of the Organization" on October 31 and followed it up with the dramatically titled "Bureaucracy Must Die!" on November 4.
I replied to the first blog as follows:
"Your blog is descriptive of large organizations but does not explain how they got that way. All today's large organizations started off small and earlier in their lives many of them were seen as pioneers of management practice. Standard Oil (ExxonMobil), US Steel, General Motors, Sears, Roebuck, Kodak, Xerox and Nokia (among others) were all held up as exemplary at one time or another. The "hero to zero" phenomenon is so pervasive in the corporate world that the explanations for it must go well beyond "hubris", management "myopia" and "clueless" leadership. No doubt such conditions exist but, like oppressive bureaucracies, they may be symptoms rather than causes: unintended consequences of strategies pursued in contexts we don't even acknowledge, let alone understand. The true causes must be complex mixes of the ecological and the evolutionary – a combination of the developmental dynamics whereby supple saplings become rigid trees and the evolutionary processes that allowed small mammals to replace large reptiles as the planet's dominant species.
The virtual absence of these ecological and evolutionary concepts from the current management canon and the widespread use of structural and engineering analogies makes us insensitive to the roles of emergence and constraint in the lives of organizations. It leads to notions of managers as detached, rational strategists, scanning "the" environment, looking at their organizations objectively, implementing practices and applying "principles" by issuing crisp, actionable instructions. The firm itself is seen as a passive, command-and-control machine, waiting for orders to execute and strategies to implement. Thus mechanical analogies leave linear notions of cause-and-effect intact and they blame unintended consequences on inept managers, poor analysis and faulty implementation. It's a self-sealing system, a hall of mirrors.
You are right that we need to go much deeper; much, much deeper. We need to assimilate the emerging evidence that humans are rational but in an ecological, rather than in a logical way. And that's O.K. Our minds are embodied, not just "embrained". "Thinking" is not just the conscious manipulation of abstract symbols: we can "think" about the world in just as many ways as we experience it. Immerse a collection of those kinds of minds in an ecological and evolutionary context, where causality is nonlinear, emergence matters and constraints are ubiquitous. Only then can one start to appreciate the complexity of the issues that we are dealing with, as well as the combinations of judgement and reason – wisdom – required to navigate them. It leaves one in something close to a state of awe for those practitioners who can."
Bureaucracy Was a Discovery, Not an "Invention"
In his second blog, "Bureaucracy Must Die!" Hamel describes bureaucracy as an "invention". If this is the case, he argues, all that is needed is for us to invent a benign substitute for it; "We must find a way to reap the blessings of bureaucracy – precision, consistency, and predictability – while at the same time killing it. Bureaucracy, both architecturally and ideologically, is incompatible with the demands of the 21st century."
There is one problem: bureaucracy is not an invention; it is a discovery. It was made about ten thousand years ago when humankind started working with concentrated resources that required scale and specialization to exploit them. Prior to that they had lived in small, nomadic, hunter-gatherer bands that were ideally suited to exploring for and exploiting resources that were mobile and ephemeral. These bands of up to 150 people, divided in small, egalitarian groups, were in a constant state of motion. They were coordinated via a shared narrative, personal relationships, generalist skills and self-discipline. Their actions were determined by their shared understanding of the situation they faced. But when humans encountered concentrated resources like the flood-fed lands of the Nile Delta and the salmon-dependent ecosystems of the American North-West they had to cope with much larger numbers of people and the need for specialization. Store-houses needed to be built, with scribes to keep the count of what was in them and a security force to protect the resources from being stolen. Time became important as one had to be ready for the annual flood or the salmon run. Even very primitive technologies led to the emergence of functional silos and very different appreciations of situations that were difficult to share. Bureaucracy and hierarchy were needed to control these larger-scale organizations because they could no longer rely on face-to-face coordination in the way the hunter-gatherers had.
The Ecological/Systems Perspective
From an ecological/systems perspective, enabling bureaucracies and the hierarchies that accompanied them were (and still are) a solution to the problems of scale and specialization. They become oppressive and coercive when they were combined with an unhealthy lust for power over others on the part of those who rise to the top of organizations. When this happens, people in organizations change from being ends-in-themselves to becoming means to the purposes of others; they become tools and instruments. (Canadians will be very familiar with the recent case of the star radio-host Jian Ghomeshi, who seems to have had problems along these lines). As I explained in The New Ecology of Leadership:
"Large-scale organizations attract people with a need for power and success. Such individuals can deliver tremendous organizational performance because of their ability to articulate a vision, rally followers around them, and challenge the rules about how things are done. Unfortunately, large organizations sometimes appeal to high-functioning but unhealthy, narcissistic individuals with excessive needs for attention and recognition.When success confirms and reinforces these behaviors, they can become overblown.
In their extreme manifestations such behaviors can take the pathological form of the so-called dramatic, emotional, and erratic personality disorders.A vision coupled with success can lead to grandiosity and illusions of invincibility. Poor listening skills and a fundamental lack of empathy can result in a thin-skinned, hypersensitivity to criticism and the encouragement of followers to become submissive yes-people. A history of rule breaking without negative sanctions can create beliefs that such restrictions do not apply to them. The very real sacrifices that such managers make as they climb the career ladder and pursue power can lead to a powerful sense of entitlement once they achieve it.
This means that over time the productive hierarchy essential to running the repetitive operations of a large-scale, commercial organization can start to take on the trappings of a dominance hierarchy, whose priority is not to create wealth but to distribute it—among its own members."
In short, the pathologies of bureaucracy have to be understood as the product of an interaction between humans, with their ecologically rational, embodied minds and an organizational form that has been around for only 10,000 years or so, which is not very long in evolutionary terms. We cannot discard bureaucracy; we have to understand its dynamics and its limitations and how to use it in combination with "hunting dynamics" of the hunter-gatherers. Only then can we get more of its benefits and less of its liabilities. That will be the subject of a future blog.
The Great Transformation: a Historical Perspective
The sixth annual Drucker Forum takes place in Vienna from November 13 to 14. The theme is the "The Great Transformation: Managing Our Way to Prosperity" and the forum features a pantheon of the ABCs (academics, business people, and consultants) of management. It showcases some of the leading management thinkers from around the world including Harvard's Clayton Christensen and gurus Gary Hamel, Rita McGrath and Roger Martin. Top journalists are going to be there in the form of Andrew Hill and Martin Wolf of the Financial Times, Adrian Wooldridge of the Economist and Adi Ignatius, editor of the Harvard Business Review. For me the most exciting thing about the meeting is that it attracts people with a very wide range of ideas, interests and experiences. Almost everyone is there for the duration and you get to interact with them all in numerous informal sessions and breaks.
One of the most interesting background aspects of this meeting, with its provocative theme, is that 2014 is the 70th anniversary of the publication of two key books by Austrian writers that have greatly influenced management and political thinking. The first is Friedrich Hayek's Road to Serfdom and the second is Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation. Hayek's book warned of the tyrannical perils of central planning. In his adopted country of Britain it was aimed at the many left-wing British academics, who saw fascism as a capitalist reaction against socialism. Hayek argued that fascism and communism were both totalitarian philosophies with their roots in central planning and state control. Hayek saw important roles for the state, however, and was opposed to laissez-faire capitalism. In the United States, on the other hand, Road to Serfdom, was picked up by the right wing, and championed by prominent economists like Milton Friedman. In the Cold War atmosphere it was often interpreted as a paean to free markets and a condemnation of government intervention. In short, it was (and often still is) an "either/or" interpretation – markets "ennoble" society – they turn private vice into public virtue, everywhere and always.

To Kill a Zombie: Ending Shareholder Primacy
The theme of the Drucker Forum to be held in Vienna November 13-14 this year is "The Great Transformation: Managing Our Way to Prosperity". In the run-up to it Simon Caulkin wrote a mainly excellent article in the Financial Times entitled "Era of management-led growth held hostage by old ideas that refuse to die". In it he outlined the challenge of changing the assumption that the purpose of the corporation is to maximize returns to shareholders. He cited Lynn Stout's work, among others, to assert that "shareholders own shares, not companies, which are separate legal persons, and directors' only fiduciary responsibility is to the company. Shareholders are not principals and managers are not their agents." Caulkin described the whole shareholder-primacy theory as a zombie idea.
Then he went off the rails a little by mixing his monster metaphors: "So, yes, an era if management-led growth is both feasible and urgently needed. But the renaissance will not flourish unless a stake is driven through the heart of the shareholder-primacy zombie first."
Every monster hunter knows that you can kill only vampires by driving stakes through their hearts; to kill a zombie you have to disintegrate their brains. The shareholder-value model may suck out the lifeblood of corporations but it doesn't have a heart. Its brain is in thrall to neoclassical economics with its belief in the sanctity of free markets and its scientistic assumption that if humans aren't completely rational then they ought to be. Unfortunately the shareholder-value model is held in place by a powerful systems dynamic that works like an addiction. The short-term rewards for those who benefit – corporate executives, hedge funds, and buyout artists – are significant, while the long-term damage is only now becoming visible. Even then, the complexity of cause-and-effect in complex systems allows many to deny that any such relationship exists. As Upton Sinclair's quip reminds us: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
So how to disintegrate this zombie idea's brain? I have suggested a change in metaphor might help, from that of monsters to systemic addiction. Most addictions end only when the addict "hits the wall" and makes a radical attempt to change his or her lifestyle and avoid the contexts that trigger the habit. Often this takes a shattering event – either a personal crisis or an encounter with a charismatic individual, or perhaps both. I suspect that it will require similar events in the case of shareholder-primacy model – a crisis plus the emergence of charismatic enterprises that show a consistent ability to outperform their conventional counterparts in sustainability and service to their communities, while operating at a scale comparable to their conventional counterparts. Oh, and it couldn't hurt to attack the idea intellectually, as Lynn Stout has done, and try to disintegrate its brain…
What They Should Be Teaching at Business Schools
Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton had a recent blog in the Harvard Business Review entitled "How Business Schools Can Help Reduce Inequality"
Here is my response:
"What is needed is an ecological framework of "both…and" to embrace and contain the "either/or" of economics. Only then will we be able to see effective management practice as the integration of the "hard" and the "soft", the sciences and the humanities. The most encouraging indicator of this at HBS has been the appointment of Nitin Nohria as dean, with his academic interest in the power of context and contextual intelligence. An article on this topic by Tarun Khanna appeared in a recent issue of HBR.
An ecological perspective is the quintessential contextual view. From this vantage point we can see that enterprises are conceived in passion, born in communities of trust, grow through the application of reason and mature in power, where they tend to get stuck. This sets them up for crisis and destruction but with the possibility of renewal. At business schools an ecological perspective can be used to address complex existential questions like these:
- What kind of person am I (people are we)?
- What kind of situation is this?
- What does a person like me (a people like us) do in a situation like this?
- What are my/our options? How do I/we generate options?
- What are my/our decision criteria? how do I/we make decisions/choices?
- What are the consequences of my/our decisions/choices?"
In a subsequent posting Judith Samuelson refers to a helpful document from the Aspen Institute on the subject of corporate purpose and business education

Last week I participated in a very geeky panel discussion about a now-defunct standard for computer system security: the TCSEC. I showed some charts and diagrams about costs, error rates, and adoption of government-sponsored programs for evaluating computer security. During the panel, some audience members made the following claim:
"After its evaluation, Multics never needed a security patch."
I admit I find this hard to believe, and it's not consistent with my own Multics experience. However, most of my Multics experience predated the evaluation. So I ask: does anyone know if Multics had a security patch after its B2 TCSEC evaluation?
Aside from random earlier pokes at Multics while doing ARPANET maintenance in the late '70s, I never really used Multics until I worked at Honeywell in the early 1980s. Since Multics was a Honeywell product, we generally installed the latest and greatest Multics version on our site. After I left Honeywell, I re-encountered Multics through NSA's DOCKMASTER system. This system was pretty well locked down so I can't say much about whether it was security patched or not. No doubt the answer to that question exceeds the default security clearance of this blog's readership.
People were comfortable with Multics security, but I vaguely remember people referring to unexpected problems that were found and fixed. Even then, before the official Multics security evaluation, people felt that Multics was a secure, well-designed system. But I don't remember people believing that it would never, ever require patching.
I don't think it's possible to leave a security system unpatched indefinitely. While it's true that the system might in be flawless in some formal sense, it doesn't operate in a formal world. A practical view of security doesn't factor out its informal aspects. Those aspects hide the cracks that any sensible attacker will exploit.
