  • Testimony to US House Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security
    Association of Professional Flight Attendants Proudly Representing the Flight Attendants of American Airlines Office of the President Testimony to US House Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security “TSA’s efforts to Advance Risk-Based Security: Stakeholder Perspectives” April 11, 2013 Introduction Chairman Hudson, Ranking Member Richmond, and Members of the Subcommittee, Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to submit the following testimony. Furthermore, thank you very much for your recent strong statements regarding TSA’s policy making process. Although we may not all agree on the recently announced change in the prohibited items list, I believe there is bipartisan agreement that the decision-making process did not include input from each critical stakeholder. I appreciate your support in holding TSA accountable for this oversight. The attacks of September 11, 2001, changed the commercial aviation industry, and the flight attendant profession in particular, dramatically and forever. The protocols and security measures that were instituted after those tragic events had one single intention: to keep us all safe. On March 5, 2013, Administrator John Pistole of the Transportation Security Administration announced a policy change that would once again allow knives of a certain size on board aircraft departing from US airports. The policy is ostensibly justified by the ‘risk-based analysis’ this hearing seeks to better understand. Although we support risk-based security and the periodic review of TSA’s prohibited items list, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, representing over 16,000 American Airlines employees, vehemently rejects the TSA’s attempt to make such a sweeping policy change without the input of key stakeholders.

Nearly 3,000 people, representing 90 different countries, lost their lives that day. These victims were business men and women, vacation-goers, and loved ones heading from the east coast to California to visit friends and family. What started out as a beautiful Fall day on the east coast in the United States with thousands of commuters heading to work and going about their everyday lives, ended in tragedy and sorrow, leaving behind a permanent scar that would change all our lives forever. The events of 9/11 affected our entire country on a grand scale both economically and culturally. But Massachusetts was a part of this day, from the attacks to the impact.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

    A FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE INVESTORS REPORT 2012–13 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Dear alumni and friends, As much as this is an Investors Report, it is also living proof that a passion for collaboration continues to define the Kellogg community. Your collective support has powered the forward movement of our ambitious strategic plan, fueled development of our cutting-edge curriculum, enabled our global thought leadership, and helped us attract the highest caliber of students and faculty—all key to solidifying our reputation among the world’s elite business schools. This year, you also helped set a new record for alumni support of Kellogg. Our applications and admissions numbers are up dramatically. We have outpaced our peer schools in career placements for new graduates. And we have broken ground on our new global hub. Your unwavering commitment to everything that Kellogg stands for helps make all that possible. Your continuing support keeps us on our trajectory to transform business education and practice to meet the challenges of the new economy.
