Se împlinesc trei ani de la invazia pe scară largă a Rusiei în Ucraina, timp în care Ucraina a rezistat agresiunii datorită ajutorului din partea statelor occidentale. Între timp Donald Trump a revenit la Casa Albă și a anunțat, încă din campania electorală că va face pace în Ucraina. Dar ce fel de pace? Și cu ce costuri pentru Ucraina? Despre războiul din Ucraina, despre planurile lui Trump pentru pace și consecințele viziunii lui pentru Ucraina și Europa vorbim cu istoricul Armand Goșu.  Armand Goșu: „Problema e că Putin nu se mulţumeşte, cum ar vrea Trump, cu 20% din teritoriu. Putin nu gîndeşte în termeni de teritoriu, el nu e agent imobiliar, nu construieşte Trump Towers prin Mariupol. Pur şi simplu Putin doreşte să dispară naţiunea ucraineană, să dispară statalitatea ucraineană. Asta nu înţelege Trump, asta nu înţeleg demnitarii americani.”Oficiali americani și ruși s-au întîlnit la Riad pentru a pregăti negocierile de pace. Fără Ucraina și fără Europa. Ce semnificație are această primă discuție între demnitari americani și ruși?Armand Goșu: „Poate să fie începutul unei frumoase prietenii. Trump văd că vrea să sugereze dinamica unei fructuoase cooperări între Washington şi Moscova. Prezenţa în sală, în spatele delegaţiei ruse, a unui diplomat expert în Arctica sugerează – şi după aceea a şi dat informaţia – că uite, noi avem multe proiecte, pe business. Dmitriev a ieşit, a dat la presă că americanii au înţeles c-au pierdut enorm. Deci dintr-o dată toate păcatele lui Putin au fost şterse, vinovat de începerea războiului, am aflat o zi sau două mai tîrziu, nu mai era Putin, era chiar Zelenski. Deci pur şi simplu s-a întors cu totul lumea pe dos.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

Președintele ales al Statelor Unite nu-și ascunde intenția de a prelua Groenlanda, teritoriu autonom aflat în componența Danemarcei, stat membru al Uniunii Europene. Presa internațională analizează declarațiile lui Donald Trump și motivațiile din spatele acestora. După cum relatează Newsweek, Donald Trump a spus că deținerea și controlul Groenlandei este o „necesitate absolută” pentru Statele Unite. Trump a scris duminică pe rețeaua sa Truth Social că, ”în scopul securității naționale și al libertății în întreaga lume, Statele Unite ale Americii consideră că proprietatea și controlul Groenlandei sunt o necesitate absolută”.Trump a făcut aceste comentarii într-o postare în care l-a anunțat pe cofondatorul PayPal, Ken Howery, drept alegerea sa pentru ambasadorul SUA în Danemarca. Groenlanda este un teritoriu autonom al Danemarcei.Bloomberg amintește că ”propunerea lui Trump de a cumpăra Groenlanda în 2019 a declanșat tensiuni între SUA și Danemarca, prim-ministrul Mette Frederiksen descriind-o atunci drept „absurdă”, arătând clar că Groenlanda nu este de vânzare.Interesul reînnoit pentru Groenlanda vine în momentul în care Trump a amenințat că va relua controlul și asupra Canalului Panama. La începutul săptămânii trecute a sugerat din nou că vecina Canada ar putea deveni cel de-al 51-lea stat al SUA.Groenlanda este deja crucială pentru apărarea națională americană, fiind gazda unei baze aeriene americane și a unei stații radar. Războiul din Ucraina a crescut dramatic valoarea militară a teritoriului pentru SUA și NATO, având în vedere locația strategică a insulei între Arctica și Atlanticul de Nord”.Dar, după cum comentează The Daily Beast, ”se pare că viitorul președinte este mult mai interesat de rezervele de cărbune, zinc și cupru ale insulei decât de perspectivele imobiliare tradiționale.Groenlanda găzduiește, de asemenea, cea mai nordică bază militară din SUA, , care ajută la furnizarea de informații cruciale pentru avertismentele legate de rachete și supravegherea spațiului aerian”. Dar, de partea sa Europa își pregătește cursa pentru metalele rare din Groenlanda, explică publicația daneză Politiken, preluată de Courrier International.”Dependentă de China, Uniunea Europeană lansează o ofensivă de farmec pentru a pune mâna pe numeroasele metale și minerale prezente în subsolul Groenlandei. Prin urmare, Comisia Europeană are acum ochii îndreptați către Groenlanda, teritoriu autonom, parte a Regatului Danemarcei, stat membru al Uniunii Europene. Subsolul Groenlandei ar conține nu mai puțin de 25 din cele 34 de minerale și metale pe care Uniunea Europeană le consideră a fi cele mai importante pentru evoluția sa tehnologică. Deci, UE are nevoie de Groenlanda, dar se pare că și Groenlanda are nevoie și de UE.Erik Jensen, responsabil pentru finanțe și afaceri fiscale în guvernul groenlandez, subliniază pentru Politiken că Groenlanda dorește o dezvoltare masivă a industriei sale miniere.Aceasta ar putea într-adevăr să creeze o parte importantă a fundamentelor economice care ar permite Groenlandei, în doar cinci-zece ani, să devină o națiune independentă”.

Ultima analiză a Institutului pentru Studiul Războiului (ISW) privitoare la situația din Ucraina vine ca un puternic semnal de alarmă. Documentul descrie scenariul unei victorii rusești care nu mai pare deloc improbabilă, pe fondul blocării sprijinului din Statele Unite pentru Kiev. Pericolele vor fi multiple, inclusiv pentru România. În esență, ISW susține că întârzierea sprijinului militar pentru Ucraina încurajează Rusia să iasă din logica războiului de poziții și să treacă la ofensivă. De la începutul anului, rușii au înaintat încet, dar sigur, cucerind circa 360 de kilometri pătrați dar progresele ar putea fi și mai mari în lunile următoare. Toate acestea s-ar putea solda, în cursul anului viitor, cu o victorie a Rusiei.Pentru analiștii institutului, Statele Unite, principal responsabil pentru slăbirea sprijinului acordat Ucrainei, au în față două opțiuni.Prima: să reia rapid furnizarea de ajutor militar pentru a permite Ucrainei să stabilizeze linia frontului. A doua: să îi lase pe ruși să învingă armata ucraineană și să amenințe granițele NATO de la Marea Neagră până în centrul Poloniei. Nu există a treia opțiune, spun analiștii ISW.În această din urmă situație, riscurile unui atac rusesc împotriva NATO în viitorul apropiat ar crește dramatic dacă SUA ar permite Rusiei să învingă Ucraina acum. Iar apărarea statelor baltice în special ar putea deveni o provocare aproape insurmontabilă. Aceste riscuri și costuri pe termen lung depășesc cu mult prețul pe termen scurt al reluării asistenței pentru Ucraina.Dar cum ar arăta scenariul unei victorii rusești?Desigur, ucrainenii nu se vor supune de bunăvoie cuceririi rusești și ar urma o insurgență masivă.Însă rușii pregătesc deja forțe distincte de unitățile lor militare obișnuite pentru a răspunde insurgenței.De asemenea, rușii vor lua cu forța sute de mii sau chiar milioane de ucraineni în serviciul militar, împreună cu baza industrială de apărare pe care ucrainenii o construiesc acum, crescând semnificativ potențialul militar și economic al Rusiei.În acest scenariu îngrozitor, NATO trebuie să se aștepte să se confrunte cu mari forțe convenționale rusești de-a lungul întregii sale granițe, de la Marea Neagră până la Arctica.Și pentru prima dată de la prăbușirea URSS, granițele Poloniei, Ungariei, Slovaciei și României se vor afla direct sub amenințarea unui atac terestru.Analiza descrie drept cu totul falsă ipoteza din cadrul actualei dezbateri din SUA cu privire la furnizarea de asistență militară suplimentară Ucrainei potrivit căreia războiul va rămâne blocat, indiferent de acțiunile americane.Potrivit ISW, viitorul NATO este legat de Ucraina, indiferent de statutul ei de membru al alianței.O victorie ucraineană va însemna o armată de succes, mult mai puternică decât cea a oricărui stat european din NATO și un uriaș factor de descurajare împotriva viitoarei agresiuni ruse.Să spunem că de la declanșarea invaziei rusești, ISW a furnizat analize foarte precise, care și-au dovedit în timp viabilitatea. Semnalul de acum ar trebui să fie perceput la adevărata sa dimensiune în aripa trumpistă a Partidului Republican din SUA, în măsura în care acolo a mai rămas un dram de rațiune. Dar ar trebui să servească drept un semnal deșteptător și pentru autoritățile de la București.Cu toată apartenența noastră la NATO, pacea nu mai este o garanție. Iar narațiunile rusești, care inundă societatea noastră și cer încetarea sprijinului pentru Ucraina, trebuie privite așa cum sunt: drept acte ostile la adresa României. Ascultați rubrica ”Eurocronica”, cu Ovidiu Nahoi, în fiecare zi, de luni până vineri, de la 8.45 și în reluare duminica, de la 15.00, numai la RFI România

Leembossen, vloeiweiden, watermolens: het stroomgebied van de Dommel zit vol met cultuur- en natuurhistorie. In deze aflevering struinen we langs de lange lijnen van de geschiedenis van dit landschap in Noord-Brabant en het noordelijk deel van Vlaanderen. Anthonie spreekt met Ger van den Oetelaar en Jan van der Straaten, beiden met een lange staat van dienst in de Brabantse natuurbescherming. Met een team van 26 auteurs publiceerden zij in 2023 een kloeke landschapsbiografie van het stroomgebied van de Dommel, uitgegeven bij Pictures Publishers. Ger is werkzaam bij Ark Rewilding Nederland, is geboren en getogen in het Groene woud en schrijft veel over natuur en cultuurhistorie in dit gebied. Jan is milieu-econoom, voorzitter van een Europees netwerk van natuurfotografen, Saxifraga, en auteur van talloze natuurboeken. In deze aflevering lichten we een aantal onderwerpen uit dat fascinerende landschap van de Dommel uit. Wat maakt het gebied zo bijzonder? Hoe zit het met bosgebruik in de Middeleeuwen? Wat hebben de leembossen te maken met de sponswerking van het landschap? En wat zijn vloeiweiden precies? Ook bespreken we waarom het coöperatieve gedachtegoed in de 20e eeuw een grote plaats kreeg in het Dommellandschap en zien we hoe onnodig desastreus de ruilverkavelingen uitpakten voor natuur en samenleving. En Jan zou Jan niet zijn als hij af en toe een uitstapje maakt naar zijn vakgebied van de economie en ons schets welke sporen de commercie achterlaat in landschap en natuurbeleid. De leestip van Jan is ‘Arctica' van Bernice Notenboom. Anthonie tipt de prachtige landschapsbiografie die in deze aflevering centraal staat: ‘Het stroomgebied van de Dommel. Een landschapsbiografie' en Ger tipt één specifiek hoofdstuk uit dat boek, namelijk hoofdstuk 5 “Water- en moerasnamen als spiegel van het Dommellandschap” van Hein Elemans.

Stuart and Burning Man's Community Services head honcho Terry “Retro” Schoop riff on the streets of our fair city and the naming thereof, from the controversial to the miraculous to the misunderstood. Black Rock City has elaborate art themes, each with street names, each with curious conditions. Why does our recreational refugee camp even need street names? Were they always alphabetical around an imaginary clock face? And what's a clock anyway? Hear this year's art theme (ANIMALIA) express itself through cryptids (animals that no one can prove are real). Folklore and fandom brought us our new ABC street names: Afanc, Bigfoot, Chupacabra, Dingbat… and NOT the Easter Bunny, thanks to Encantados, which are were-dolphins that shape-shift into dapper dancers in search of a party.  This is an episode with literature, lore, and laughter — and a pile of BRC trivia for street cred.Streets of BRC 2023: Cavalcade of Cryptids | Burning Man JournalBurning Man 2023: ANIMALIATerry “Retro” Schoop | Burning Man JournalBurning Man Staff: Terry Schoop

Distinguished professor and Chair of the Department of Biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Steven N. Austad, joins the podcast to discuss his research on the biology of ageing. Tune in to learn the following: The importance of proper protein folding in terms of healthy ageing and longevity, and what secrets the Arctica islandica clam might hold in this regard How the human lifespan stacks up against other mammals of similar size Why the study of lab mice might not be the best model for improving human longevity For over 30 years, Austad has been studying the biology of ageing. He more or less stumbled upon this area of research while conducting field work in South America on opossums; much to his surprise, he learned that the lifespan of these animals is very short—just 18 months on average—and as they age, they develop numerous ailments, including cataracts, muscle atrophy, and dental issues. This spurred Austad's interest in the topic of ageing and compelled him to research why certain species age at the rate they do, and more broadly, why ageing occurs at all.   Austad studies traditional lab animals and unusual animals in the field, such as small bats and Arctica islandica, a species of clam that can live for over 500 years. Despite the general trend of increased life expectancy with increased size, these small animals show a fascinating ability to age successfully—even against the rigors of the wild.  By studying the process of ageing in these animals, Austad believes that insights can be gained that might inform us on how to increase human longevity. He explains one of the suspected ways in which certain species of clams, including the Arctica islandica, live so long. The key lies at least partially in the ability to regulate and maintain proper protein folding. Indeed, it is the age-related weakened ability to do this that leads to dementia and other common features of ageing in humans. Currently, he's working on sequencing the genomes of various species of clams that live various lengths of time with the hope that this will reveal which molecules might be involved in the protein folding process.

撰文/闵嘉德（Josh Mitteldorf） 翻译/汪婕舒人类的衰老是缓慢的进程，每过一年，我们都向死亡的终点迈出一小步。于是，当我们环视四周，便认为其他动植物也同我们一样。但实际上，自然界有着形形色色的衰老，其过程从短短几小时（比如微生物）到一些动物的几百年和树木的数千年不等。一些动物在生命的尽头会突然衰老，还有一些根本不会衰老，少数甚至可以逆转衰老。而植物的衰老模式和寿命长短更加多样。许多衰老理论都是基于“人类的衰老经验在大自然中一定是普遍存在或至少是典型的”这一想法。然而，一个好的理论应该考虑到衰老模式的多样性，也应考虑到衰老是从远古进化而来这一事实。一些对现代动物（包括人类）的衰老起到调控作用的基因，其根源都能追溯到10亿年前的微生物。没有衰老的生命？有一种变豆菜（Sanicula）是生长在欧洲牧场里的灌木。在过去65年中，人们一直在不间断地研究着瑞典的一片变豆菜。变豆菜的预期寿命与人类差不多，但它却从不衰老。对人类来说，随着年龄的增长而逐渐变老，死亡的几率便会增长。而对变豆菜而言，每一年，75株变豆菜中平均就有一株会死去，可这却与年龄无关，一株75岁的变豆菜的死亡率并不比一株10岁的更高。我们人类在出生时的预期寿命大约是70年（各国差异很大），到了60岁预期寿命可能剩下18年，80岁的老人可能预期还能活7年。而对变豆菜来说，一株幼苗的预期寿命是75年，到了60岁，它的预期寿命依然还剩75年。实际上，有少数变豆菜已经200岁了，但它们的预期寿命依然还剩75年。按照这个概率，100万株变豆菜中约有一株能活到1000年，如果我们的解释正确的话，这株1000岁的变豆菜与死亡的距离并不比一株幼苗更近。龙虾是否会衰老至今还是一个谜。由于被过度捕捞，龙虾很少能长到1千克以上。但人们依然时常捕捞到超过4千克的龙虾，历史纪录中最大的龙虾更是足有20千克。大龙虾通常会被放回大海，这并非只是因为它们不适合摆上餐桌。龙虾长得越大，繁殖力就越强，它们留下后代的几率就越大。一只大龙虾繁殖出的后代能占据一大片海域。我们并没有最老龙虾的记录，因为它们没有年轮或类似结构供我们检验年龄。有人认为20千克的龙虾可能超过100岁，但并不确定。蛤类也能无限地长大，其繁殖力同样会变得越来越强。幸运的是，蛤类有生长环，可以让我们数出它的年龄。已知最老的蛤是一只北极圆蛤（Arctica islandica），足有507岁，很可能死于打捞后撬开壳数生长纹的过程。它被称为“明”，因为在它出生时中国正处于明朝。蛤类有一些天敌，比如说海星会抓住它们的壳，用蛮力将它们撕开。但是，一旦一只蛤长得比海星的腕还长，它就有可能无限地生长下去。重达350千克的巨蛤依然保持着它那些迷你亲戚们的生活方式，每天吸入超过它们自身重量3万倍的海水，滤食浮游生物和海藻，这些生物进入巨蛤肚子里还能继续繁殖。正如大龙虾一样，巨蛤也能为整个种群提供后代。美国加利福尼亚州白山上的刺果松平均寿命超过1000岁，当然前提是它度过脆弱的幼年期。 图/Dcrjsr/世界上的长寿之王非树莫属。一株19世纪死于风暴的龙血树（Dracaena draco）可能已经活了6000年；美国加利福尼亚州白山上的刺果松（Pinus longaeva）中最古老的大约已有5000岁，平均寿命超过千年。这是由于树在生长上投入巨大精力，总是试着让自己的叶片逃离其他树木的阴影，从而抢到最好的阳光。森林中最古老的树总是能傲视群雄，获得第一缕阳光的能量。那么，树木到底会不会衰老呢？有些会，有些不会。当然了，如果一棵树成长为树林中最高的一棵，也会有烦恼——它将是第一个被闪电击中的目标。并且，当树林扎根的土壤被侵蚀，它也是最头重脚轻、最容易被风吹倒的那一个。此外，有些树木似乎也拥有一个“特征年龄”，一旦过了这个年纪，死亡率会逐年增加。有证据表明，年老的树木更容易受到真菌和疾病的侵害。不过，在大多数时候，老树通常是因为尺寸过大而受到机械伤害，最终垮塌致死的。也就是说，正是持续生长的能力终致其消逝。突然死亡有一种独特的性状被称为“终生一胎”（semelparous），是指那些在一生中只会繁殖一次的动植物。繁殖后，它们通常会迅速死亡，包括蜉蝣、章鱼、大麻哈鱼，还有成千上万种一年生开花植物。终生一胎生物的死因是什么？科学家曾认为，这是由于繁殖过程中耗尽了营养。可事实上，这种想法并无多少依据，爆发的繁殖与突然的死亡似乎是两个不同且独立的适应事件。如果你在花园里种着一年生植物，就能亲眼见证这一点：通常，植物先开花，后结出种子，随后死去。但是，如果你掐掉花朵，它就又会长出一朵新的来。如果每次在花变成种子之前都把花剪掉，这株植物就能一直活下去，绽放整个夏天。很显然，是种子发出了信号，告诉植物死亡的时刻到了。大鳞大麻哈鱼（Onocorhynchus tschawytscha，俗称奇努克鲑）通常在距离大海几百千米的河流上游里孵化。出生后的一两年，它们会生活在河水的保护中，这里生活安逸，鲜有大型捕食者。当长到足以互相竞争的大小时，它们就会向下游迁徙，前往茫茫大海中谋生。它们会在大海里生活2～7年的时间。其间，它们越长越大，但并不会随着年龄的增长而变得衰弱。当它们准备好繁殖下一代，就会找到来时的路——绝非随便挑一条河口，而是回到当初孵化的那个河塘。它们接下来的旅途就是奋力向前冲，而终点就是繁殖和死亡。在繁殖地成片死亡的大鳞大麻哈鱼当成年大麻哈鱼到达产卵地后便不再进食，新陈代谢迅速瓦解。肾上腺泵出糖皮质激素，导致衰老加速。糖皮质激素也引发免疫系统的崩溃，致其全身覆满真菌感染。肾脏萎缩，同时邻近的细胞（肾间质细胞）变得膨大。循环系统也遭到了感染，动脉随之出现损伤，这些损伤看起来与导致老年人心脏病的损伤十分相似。逆流而上当然是费力的，但是，给它们身体带来致命伤害的，并非肉体上的损耗，而是一系列严重的生化反应。这些反应发生的时机是由基因定好的，在产卵完成后即刻发生。这种症状不分雌雄，虽然绝大部分新陈代谢的压力都落在雌鱼身上，在生命的最后阶段，卵可能占据了它们身体重量的1/3。章鱼的故事也值得一提。它们的寿命很短，根据种类的不同，从几个月到几年不等，但都会在一次繁殖之后死去。雌章鱼会守护和照料它产下的卵，要是环境对孵化不利，就会吃掉它们。这样，雌章鱼就获得了重头再来一次的机会。如果它认为时机成熟适合孵化，不仅不会吃自己的卵，甚至会完全停止进食。雌章鱼为了保护自己的卵不受捕食者侵害，会一动不动、专心守护长达几个月的时间。但是，一旦卵孵化，它就会在几天内死去。它的死因并非饥饿。我们知道这一点，是因为它们有两个内分泌腺，称为“视腺”，分泌的物质控制着章鱼的交配行为、亲子照料和死亡。视腺可以通过手术去除，去除之后的雌章鱼就能活得更久。如果只去除一个视腺，雌章鱼会停止进食，但可以多活6个星期。如果两个视腺都去掉，雌章鱼就不会完全失去进食能力，在卵孵化之后，还可以恢复进食。接着，它们还可以重振旗鼓，恢复之前的力量和体格，并继续存活40个星期甚至更久。深海章鱼长达四年的妊娠，最后为孵化后的卵鞘。拍摄时间分别为2007年5月、2009年、2011年9月、2011年10月。 图/MBARI2007年，美国蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所的布鲁斯·罗比逊（Bruce Robison）发现，一只雌性深海章鱼（Graneledone boreopacifica）正在加州海岸附近冰冷的深海中照料160枚卵。他每隔一段时间就回到同一个位置的同一块石头去观察它。从2007年到2011年，它不吃不喝，一动不动，只是轻微地扇动着卵上方的海水，保证卵获得新鲜的营养物质。过了4年半，卵终于孵化了，但他只看到空空如也的卵壳，再也没有见到这只雌章鱼，它应该是死去了。这是有史以来观察到的最长的妊娠。

Professor Leachman explores the origins of Industrial Engineering Operations Research, his particular interests in the field, and an extensive analysis of supply chains from Asia to California and the dispersal of goods to U.S. markets.TranscriptSpeaker 1: Spectrum's next. Hmm Speaker 2: [inaudible].Speaker 1: [00:00:30] Welcome to spectrum the science and technology show on k a l x Berkeley, a biweekly 30 minute program bringing you interviews featuring bay area scientists and technologists as well as a calendar of local events and news. Speaker 3: Good afternoon. My name is Brad swift and along with Rick Karnofsky, I'm the host of today's show. Our interview is with Professor Robert Leachman of the [00:01:00] industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. He received his bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics, his master's degree in operations research and a phd in operations research all from UC Berkeley. Professor Leachman has been a member of the UC Berkeley Faculty since 1979 professor Leachman, welcome to spectrum. Speaker 4: Thank you.Speaker 3: The department [00:01:30] that you're in, industrial engineering and operations research, those two fields, how did they grow together? Speaker 4: Well, if we trace the whole history, industrial engineering started shortly after the turn of the century focused on improving the efficiency of human work and over the years it grew to address improving the efficiency of all production and service systems. Operations. Research started during World War Two focused on [00:02:00] mathematic and scientific analysis of the military strategy, logistics and operations. And it grew to develop that kind of analysis of all production and service systems. So in that sense the fields grew together. But in another sense they're different. Operations research steadily became more focused on the mathematical techniques for analysis of operations, whereas industrial engineering always has been more focused on the operational [00:02:30] problems and the engineering practice of how to address those problems. So in that sense, the two fields are complimentary. So how is it that things have changed over say the past 20 years? Well, I think the domain for ILR has, has changed as the u s s become less a manufacturing based economy and more a service space that has increased the focus and service areas [00:03:00] for applying industrial engineering operations, research type thinking and analysis, be it things like healthcare, financial engineering, energy conservation. And there's certainly been a lot more activity in supply chain analysis, particularly multi-company supply chains and even the contractual relations between those companies. Speaker 5: Okay. Speaker 3: And in your work, which complimentary technologies do you find the most helpful and have the most impact? Speaker 4: Well, I [00:03:30] think certainly the, the progress in computing power or the progress in automated data collection and the data resources we have now makes a lot more things possible now that weren't possible before and certainly changes how I do things. We can do much more analysis than, than we used to be able to do. Speaker 3: The idea of keeping things simple, which is sort of an engineering paradigm of sorts, right? Is that still a virtue or is that given [00:04:00] way to a lot of complexity that all these other capabilities lend themselves to? Speaker 5: Yeah, Speaker 4: I think there's a Dick Dichotomy here in industrial practice. I think simplicity wins out. If you have an elegant, simple solution that will triumph. I think the incentives are a little different in academic research, especially mathematical research from the kind of an elegant theory is one where you start with a [00:04:30] small set of assumptions and you derive a great complexity of results and analysis out of that. And so sometimes I think there's kind of a different direction between what's really successful in practice and what's really successful in academia. Speaker 3: What is the research like in industrial engineering and operations research? In terms of the academic research and theoretical research that happens? Speaker 4: Well those [00:05:00] doing research on the mathematical methodology of operations research considered themselves to be theoreticians and those doing work on advancing the state of the art and engineering and management practice are often labeled as quote applied and quote researchers, but I always flinch a little bit at that term. I think the implication is that those advancing the state of the art of practice are merely applying quote unquote the mathematical methodology [00:05:30] developed by the theoretical researchers, but that's not my experience at all. If and when one is able to advance the state of the art, it comes from conceptualizing the management problem in a new way. That is, it comes from developing the insight to frame in a much better way. The question about how the industrial system should be run at least as much as it comes from applying new mathematical sophistication and moreover available mathematical methodology. Almost always has [00:06:00] to be adapted once the more appropriate assumptions are realized in in the industrial setting. Speaker 4: So in that sense the quote unquote applied IUR researchers actually do research that is basic and theoretical in that scientific sense I talked about and that is its theory about how the industrial systems and organizations should be run. So beside the efficiencies and productivity gains that you're striving for, [00:06:30] are there other benefits to the industrial engineering and operations research? I spend a fair bit of time working on what I call speed and that is speed in the sense of the time to develop new products, the time to ramp up manufacturing and distribution to bring into market. And my experience in a lot of industries, especially high technology, is that the leaders are not necessarily the ones [00:07:00] with the lowest cost or the highest efficiencies, but they're almost always the ones with the greatest speed. And IOR can do a lot for improving the speed of that development and supply chain. Speaker 4: And that's an area I work on. And that has applications across the board taking things to market. Absolutely. And we have expressions like a time is money or the market [00:07:30] window or things like this, but they're often very discrete in nature like you're going to make the market window or you're not the way we describe it, but that's, that's not the reality is that everything is losing value with time. There is a great value on on bringing stuff out earlier. Everything is going obsolete and that is undervalued. In my experience in organizations, most people have job descriptions about cost or perhaps revenue, but a, there's little or nothing [00:08:00] in there about if they do something to change the speed, what is it worth to the company, so we work to try to reframe that and rethink that to quantify what speed is worth and bring that down to a the level of NGO, every engineer so that they can understand what impact their work has on speed and that they can be rewarded when they do things to improve speed. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:08:30] you are listening to spectrum on k a l x Berkeley. Today's guest is professor Robert Leachman of the industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. We are talking about analyzing supply chains. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 3: [00:09:00] can you give us a, an overview of this kind of mathematical analysis that you use in your work? Speaker 4: Okay, well let me take a recent topic. I've spent a lot of effort on and that is, uh, studying the, the supply chains for containerized imports from Asia to the United States. [00:09:30] Over the years I have been fortunate to have access to the all the u s customs data to see who's bringing in what goods and declared values their pain to bring those in. And I've been fortunate to have access to the transportation rates and handling rates that they're paying. And I can start to lay out the picture of the supply chains for each company and how it can be best managed. And so that involves mathematics [00:10:00] to describe the variability and uncertainties, uh, the variabilities in the shipment times and the chances for mistakes, the uncertainties in sales in various parts of the u s and so on. And then putting together the mathematics to simulate this so that we can now see how alternative supply chains behave. And also the impact of changes in government policy such as fees on the imports or improving the infrastructure [00:10:30] with uh, expanded ports or rail lines or uh, highways and the like. This is kind of a long, large effort to where we've been able to replicate inside the computer the whole trade going on and then inform both policy analysis for the governments and for the importers themselves. Speaker 3: California in particular, it's a real destination for the Asian supply chain. Are there peculiarities about California that you could tell us about? Speaker 4: [00:11:00] Well, close to half of all the waterborne containerized imports from Asia to the u s enter through the California ports. A few include Long Beach Los Angeles in Oakland and there are very good economic reasons why this happens and this has to do primarily with managing the inventory and supply chains. If you think about the alternatives of at the factory door in Asia, we can decide how much is going to go [00:11:30] to various regions of the United States before we book passage on the vessels. Then considering the lead time, you need to book a vessel at least two weeks in advance. And considering the answer it needs and so forth is that you're committing how much is going to go where one to two months before it gets there. Whereas if you simply ship the stuff to California and then after it gets here, now reassess the situation based on how much arrived in California [00:12:00] and what is the updated need in the supply chain in the various regions in the u s then you can make a much more informed allocation, a match the supply to demand much better and you'll reduce the inventory in the system and you'll decrease the time until goods are sold and people will be able to get their goods earlier. Speaker 4: The big nationwide retailers we have in the U S and also the nationwide, uh, original equipment manufacturers that resell the good once they're here in [00:12:30] the u s practice, these kind of supply chains. And so they bring the stuff to California and then reship. So that means that a, we have a critical role in supply chains and more comes here then goes elsewhere. If you were to think about doing what we do at, say, the port of Seattle or, or through the canal to the Gulf or east coast, then you would have to ship into that southern California market, which is the largest local market in North America. And that would be much more expensive [00:13:00] than if you start there and ship out from there. So you don't have to ship that local market stuff. The downside of that is that there's a huge amount of pollution created with all the truck traffic to bring the boxes from the ports to a cross dock or a warehouse and trans ship the goods, reload them and send them back to a rail yard and so on. Speaker 4: And uh, that creates traffic. It creates pollution, creates concern for the governments and rightly so. Uh, and [00:13:30] so there's been a lot of proposals that maybe there should be some sort of special tax on the containers to pay for infrastructure and to pay for environmental mitigation and the like. So I've done some of the studies of that question from the point of view of the importers of what is the best supply chain for them in response to changing infrastructure or changing fees and taxes, changing prices at the California ports. I'd probably some studies that have [00:14:00] been a highly controversial and got a lot of people excited. I did two scenarios. One where there's just taxes placed on the boxes and there's no improvements in infrastructure. And the answer to that scenario is a pretty significant drop, especially the lower value imports where inventory is not so expensive as simply moved to other ports. Speaker 4: But then I also did a scenario where if there was a major improvement in infrastructure of moving [00:14:30] a cross docks and import warehouses closer to the ports and moving the rail yards closer to the ports to eliminate the truck trips and alike, uh, that even as high as $200 a box, this would be a value proposition to the importers of the moderate and expensive imports as they would make California even more attractive than it is now. And so that got picked up by one camp saying, see we can tax them and they will stay and pay. Uh, but they didn't [00:15:00] quite read the fine print in the sense that no, you have to build the infrastructure first and then you can use that money to retire the bonds. But if you tax them first without the infrastructure in place, they will leave. The bill passed the California legislature. Speaker 4: But, uh, fortunately governor Schwartzenegger staff contacted me and talked about it and I think they got the story straight and the governor vetoed the bill. But the challenge remains is that I find it intriguing that generally [00:15:30] the communities near the ports are, are generally hostile to a logistics activities. They don't want warehouses, they don't want truck traffic, they don't want rail yards. Uh, and this tends to mean the development of those kinds of things happens much further out in greenfield spaces, which of course increases the congestion increases and the transportation. And I mean, there's something almost comical about hauling stuff around when we don't know where they should go yet. [00:16:00] But there's an awful lot of that that happens. So there's still a lot of potential to improve the efficiency of the supply chain. Speaker 3: Okay. Would this experience that you've had doing some research and then getting involved a little bit in the public policy side of it, is that something that you could see yourself doing more of? Speaker 4: Well, I guess it is that I was asked by a government agency that the Metropolitan Planning Office for Southern California is, is, [00:16:30] is as the acronym Skag s c a g southern California Association of governments. And they asked me to, to look at the problem and I, and I was happy to do so. I think in one sense it's, it's nice to make a contribution to public policy so that we can have a more informed public management just like it is to help private companies do that. But on the other hand, a political process is pretty messy, pretty frustrating at [00:17:00] times is that usually things are a little more sane inside a company, but it's important and I'm Speaker 2: glad to do it. You are listening to spectrum on k l x Berkeley. Our guest is professor Robert Leachman, the industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. We are talking about analyzing supply chains and global trade Speaker 3: to sort of address the idea that [00:17:30] all these efficiencies and productivity gains take jobs out of the economy. Is there some swing back where there are jobs that are created by all these changes? Speaker 7: Yes. Speaker 4: Well, let me divide this into two pieces. First, with regard IOR type work, where we're developing systems to manage supply chains or industries better is that I've been doing this kind of thing [00:18:00] since about 1980 in industrial projects in the U S and abroad. Uh, and I don't ever remember a single project where what we did resulted in a decline in employment. And in fact a lot of those were companies and crises. And if we hadn't been successful, I think a lot of people would have been put out of work. And every one of those projects created new engineering, managerial jobs to manage the information technology that was being used to run the system [00:18:30] better. So kind of on a micro scale of doing projects, it's not my experience that IUR type work reduces in employment. And when I think about the larger scale of all the offshoring of manufacturing from the U S to Asia, the companies doing this are more profitable and the costs of the consumers are much less. Speaker 4: And if you look at the gross national product and the like, these numbers are pretty good and the average [00:19:00] income of Americans is very high compared to the rest of the world. But the distribution to that income bothers me a lot. Increasingly, we're a society of a small number of very wealthy people and a lot of people who were much worse off. And in the era when we manufactured everything that provided a huge amount of middle-class type jobs and we don't have that anymore. We have low paying service jobs and we have a lot of well paying [00:19:30] engineering and management jobs. And that concerns me. I think all the protests we start to see going on even today here on campus, uh, illustrate that. Speaker 3: How do you see the outsourcing of manufactured goods to low wage regions? And supply chain efficiencies playing out over time? Speaker 4: Well, certainly the, the innovations in supply chain management have enabled it, but you know the difference in in salaries between [00:20:00] this part of the world and there has always been there and that wasn't something that was created right and it's not going to go away immediately. Take some time. I think there's, there's little question that Asian goods will cost more. The Asian currencies have been artificially low for a long time, but they are starting to move up as energy gets more deer, transportation costs go up. Our interest rates have been artificially [00:20:30] low since the recession and before. I don't think those low interest rates will last forever and when they go up then inventory gets more expensive and so those supply chains all the way down to Asia will get more expensive. I think we've done a lot of brilliant engineering and other technology improvements that have lowered costs a lot, but I think those costs are going to go up and as they do, then the answer for the [00:21:00] best supply chains is going to bring some stuff back to America. And that's already happening first. The very bulky stuff like furniture and it left North Carolina, but now much of it is come back and I think you'll, you'll see that the, the most expensive items to ship around will be the first to change. Nowadays the big importers have very sophisticated departments studying their supply chains and I truly [00:21:30] believe that they could save a penny per cubic foot of imports. They will change everything to do it Speaker 4: and so things can change very fast. Following the economics Speaker 3: and I understand you're a musician, can you give us some insight into your, a avocation with music? Speaker 4: Well, I'm a jazz pianist. I had come up through classical piano training but then at middle school, high school age, moved to the bay area and [00:22:00] there was lots of jazz happening here and I was excited by that and I actually learned to play jazz on the string bass first. But I had a piano in my room and the dorm I lived at here at Berkeley. And so I was playing a lot and listening to records of people I really enjoyed. And there was lots of jazz happening here and other musicians and we learn from each other and you grow your vocabulary over time and I was gone a couple of years between, Speaker 5: yeah, Speaker 4: Undergrad and Grad school working in industry, but [00:22:30] when I came back here to Grad school then I was playing bars in north beach and the like, but at a certain point you have to decide whether you're going to be a day animal or a night animal. You don't have the hours to do both, but art is very important to me and lyrical jazz piano is very important to me. It's, it's a way to do expression and creativity that I don't think I've found another medium that can match it. Speaker 3: Professor Leishman, thanks very much for coming on spectrum. My pleasure. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:23:00] irregular feature of spectrum is to present the calendar of the science and technology related events happening in the bay area over the next two weeks. Brad Swift joins me for this. Speaker 3: Get up close to a hundreds of wild mushrooms at the 42nd annual fungus [00:23:30] fair being held this year at the Lawrence Hall of science in Berkeley. Eat edible mushrooms, meet vendors and watch culinary demonstrations by mushroom chefs. Get the dirt on poisonous mushrooms and checkout other wild funky from the medicinal to the really, really strange mushroom experts will be on hand to answer all your questions and to identify unknown specimens brought in by the visitors. My cologists will present slideshows and talk about foraging for mushrooms. [00:24:00] Find out how different mushrooms can be used for treating diseases, dyeing cloth or paper and flavoring foods. The fair will be Saturday and Sunday, December 3rd and fourth from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day. There is a sliding admission charge to the hall of Science, which includes all the exhibits and the fungus fare. Check their website, Lawrence Hall of Science. Dot Orgy for details. Speaker 8: On Tuesday, December 6th [00:24:30] at 7:00 PM the Jewish community center at 3,200 California street in San Francisco is hosting a panel discussion on digital overload. Debate continues over the extent to which connectivity is changing the QALY of our relationships and reshaping our communities. Now there are major concerns about how it's changing our brains.

Professor Leachman explores the origins of Industrial Engineering Operations Research, his particular interests in the field, and an extensive analysis of supply chains from Asia to California and the dispersal of goods to U.S. markets.TranscriptSpeaker 1: Spectrum's next. Hmm Speaker 2: [inaudible].Speaker 1: [00:00:30] Welcome to spectrum the science and technology show on k a l x Berkeley, a biweekly 30 minute program bringing you interviews featuring bay area scientists and technologists as well as a calendar of local events and news. Speaker 3: Good afternoon. My name is Brad swift and along with Rick Karnofsky, I'm the host of today's show. Our interview is with Professor Robert Leachman of the [00:01:00] industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. He received his bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics, his master's degree in operations research and a phd in operations research all from UC Berkeley. Professor Leachman has been a member of the UC Berkeley Faculty since 1979 professor Leachman, welcome to spectrum. Speaker 4: Thank you.Speaker 3: The department [00:01:30] that you're in, industrial engineering and operations research, those two fields, how did they grow together? Speaker 4: Well, if we trace the whole history, industrial engineering started shortly after the turn of the century focused on improving the efficiency of human work and over the years it grew to address improving the efficiency of all production and service systems. Operations. Research started during World War Two focused on [00:02:00] mathematic and scientific analysis of the military strategy, logistics and operations. And it grew to develop that kind of analysis of all production and service systems. So in that sense the fields grew together. But in another sense they're different. Operations research steadily became more focused on the mathematical techniques for analysis of operations, whereas industrial engineering always has been more focused on the operational [00:02:30] problems and the engineering practice of how to address those problems. So in that sense, the two fields are complimentary. So how is it that things have changed over say the past 20 years? Well, I think the domain for ILR has, has changed as the u s s become less a manufacturing based economy and more a service space that has increased the focus and service areas [00:03:00] for applying industrial engineering operations, research type thinking and analysis, be it things like healthcare, financial engineering, energy conservation. And there's certainly been a lot more activity in supply chain analysis, particularly multi-company supply chains and even the contractual relations between those companies. Speaker 5: Okay. Speaker 3: And in your work, which complimentary technologies do you find the most helpful and have the most impact? Speaker 4: Well, I [00:03:30] think certainly the, the progress in computing power or the progress in automated data collection and the data resources we have now makes a lot more things possible now that weren't possible before and certainly changes how I do things. We can do much more analysis than, than we used to be able to do. Speaker 3: The idea of keeping things simple, which is sort of an engineering paradigm of sorts, right? Is that still a virtue or is that given [00:04:00] way to a lot of complexity that all these other capabilities lend themselves to? Speaker 5: Yeah, Speaker 4: I think there's a Dick Dichotomy here in industrial practice. I think simplicity wins out. If you have an elegant, simple solution that will triumph. I think the incentives are a little different in academic research, especially mathematical research from the kind of an elegant theory is one where you start with a [00:04:30] small set of assumptions and you derive a great complexity of results and analysis out of that. And so sometimes I think there's kind of a different direction between what's really successful in practice and what's really successful in academia. Speaker 3: What is the research like in industrial engineering and operations research? In terms of the academic research and theoretical research that happens? Speaker 4: Well those [00:05:00] doing research on the mathematical methodology of operations research considered themselves to be theoreticians and those doing work on advancing the state of the art and engineering and management practice are often labeled as quote applied and quote researchers, but I always flinch a little bit at that term. I think the implication is that those advancing the state of the art of practice are merely applying quote unquote the mathematical methodology [00:05:30] developed by the theoretical researchers, but that's not my experience at all. If and when one is able to advance the state of the art, it comes from conceptualizing the management problem in a new way. That is, it comes from developing the insight to frame in a much better way. The question about how the industrial system should be run at least as much as it comes from applying new mathematical sophistication and moreover available mathematical methodology. Almost always has [00:06:00] to be adapted once the more appropriate assumptions are realized in in the industrial setting. Speaker 4: So in that sense the quote unquote applied IUR researchers actually do research that is basic and theoretical in that scientific sense I talked about and that is its theory about how the industrial systems and organizations should be run. So beside the efficiencies and productivity gains that you're striving for, [00:06:30] are there other benefits to the industrial engineering and operations research? I spend a fair bit of time working on what I call speed and that is speed in the sense of the time to develop new products, the time to ramp up manufacturing and distribution to bring into market. And my experience in a lot of industries, especially high technology, is that the leaders are not necessarily the ones [00:07:00] with the lowest cost or the highest efficiencies, but they're almost always the ones with the greatest speed. And IOR can do a lot for improving the speed of that development and supply chain. Speaker 4: And that's an area I work on. And that has applications across the board taking things to market. Absolutely. And we have expressions like a time is money or the market [00:07:30] window or things like this, but they're often very discrete in nature like you're going to make the market window or you're not the way we describe it, but that's, that's not the reality is that everything is losing value with time. There is a great value on on bringing stuff out earlier. Everything is going obsolete and that is undervalued. In my experience in organizations, most people have job descriptions about cost or perhaps revenue, but a, there's little or nothing [00:08:00] in there about if they do something to change the speed, what is it worth to the company, so we work to try to reframe that and rethink that to quantify what speed is worth and bring that down to a the level of NGO, every engineer so that they can understand what impact their work has on speed and that they can be rewarded when they do things to improve speed. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:08:30] you are listening to spectrum on k a l x Berkeley. Today's guest is professor Robert Leachman of the industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. We are talking about analyzing supply chains. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 3: [00:09:00] can you give us a, an overview of this kind of mathematical analysis that you use in your work? Speaker 4: Okay, well let me take a recent topic. I've spent a lot of effort on and that is, uh, studying the, the supply chains for containerized imports from Asia to the United States. [00:09:30] Over the years I have been fortunate to have access to the all the u s customs data to see who's bringing in what goods and declared values their pain to bring those in. And I've been fortunate to have access to the transportation rates and handling rates that they're paying. And I can start to lay out the picture of the supply chains for each company and how it can be best managed. And so that involves mathematics [00:10:00] to describe the variability and uncertainties, uh, the variabilities in the shipment times and the chances for mistakes, the uncertainties in sales in various parts of the u s and so on. And then putting together the mathematics to simulate this so that we can now see how alternative supply chains behave. And also the impact of changes in government policy such as fees on the imports or improving the infrastructure [00:10:30] with uh, expanded ports or rail lines or uh, highways and the like. This is kind of a long, large effort to where we've been able to replicate inside the computer the whole trade going on and then inform both policy analysis for the governments and for the importers themselves. Speaker 3: California in particular, it's a real destination for the Asian supply chain. Are there peculiarities about California that you could tell us about? Speaker 4: [00:11:00] Well, close to half of all the waterborne containerized imports from Asia to the u s enter through the California ports. A few include Long Beach Los Angeles in Oakland and there are very good economic reasons why this happens and this has to do primarily with managing the inventory and supply chains. If you think about the alternatives of at the factory door in Asia, we can decide how much is going to go [00:11:30] to various regions of the United States before we book passage on the vessels. Then considering the lead time, you need to book a vessel at least two weeks in advance. And considering the answer it needs and so forth is that you're committing how much is going to go where one to two months before it gets there. Whereas if you simply ship the stuff to California and then after it gets here, now reassess the situation based on how much arrived in California [00:12:00] and what is the updated need in the supply chain in the various regions in the u s then you can make a much more informed allocation, a match the supply to demand much better and you'll reduce the inventory in the system and you'll decrease the time until goods are sold and people will be able to get their goods earlier. Speaker 4: The big nationwide retailers we have in the U S and also the nationwide, uh, original equipment manufacturers that resell the good once they're here in [00:12:30] the u s practice, these kind of supply chains. And so they bring the stuff to California and then reship. So that means that a, we have a critical role in supply chains and more comes here then goes elsewhere. If you were to think about doing what we do at, say, the port of Seattle or, or through the canal to the Gulf or east coast, then you would have to ship into that southern California market, which is the largest local market in North America. And that would be much more expensive [00:13:00] than if you start there and ship out from there. So you don't have to ship that local market stuff. The downside of that is that there's a huge amount of pollution created with all the truck traffic to bring the boxes from the ports to a cross dock or a warehouse and trans ship the goods, reload them and send them back to a rail yard and so on. Speaker 4: And uh, that creates traffic. It creates pollution, creates concern for the governments and rightly so. Uh, and [00:13:30] so there's been a lot of proposals that maybe there should be some sort of special tax on the containers to pay for infrastructure and to pay for environmental mitigation and the like. So I've done some of the studies of that question from the point of view of the importers of what is the best supply chain for them in response to changing infrastructure or changing fees and taxes, changing prices at the California ports. I'd probably some studies that have [00:14:00] been a highly controversial and got a lot of people excited. I did two scenarios. One where there's just taxes placed on the boxes and there's no improvements in infrastructure. And the answer to that scenario is a pretty significant drop, especially the lower value imports where inventory is not so expensive as simply moved to other ports. Speaker 4: But then I also did a scenario where if there was a major improvement in infrastructure of moving [00:14:30] a cross docks and import warehouses closer to the ports and moving the rail yards closer to the ports to eliminate the truck trips and alike, uh, that even as high as $200 a box, this would be a value proposition to the importers of the moderate and expensive imports as they would make California even more attractive than it is now. And so that got picked up by one camp saying, see we can tax them and they will stay and pay. Uh, but they didn't [00:15:00] quite read the fine print in the sense that no, you have to build the infrastructure first and then you can use that money to retire the bonds. But if you tax them first without the infrastructure in place, they will leave. The bill passed the California legislature. Speaker 4: But, uh, fortunately governor Schwartzenegger staff contacted me and talked about it and I think they got the story straight and the governor vetoed the bill. But the challenge remains is that I find it intriguing that generally [00:15:30] the communities near the ports are, are generally hostile to a logistics activities. They don't want warehouses, they don't want truck traffic, they don't want rail yards. Uh, and this tends to mean the development of those kinds of things happens much further out in greenfield spaces, which of course increases the congestion increases and the transportation. And I mean, there's something almost comical about hauling stuff around when we don't know where they should go yet. [00:16:00] But there's an awful lot of that that happens. So there's still a lot of potential to improve the efficiency of the supply chain. Speaker 3: Okay. Would this experience that you've had doing some research and then getting involved a little bit in the public policy side of it, is that something that you could see yourself doing more of? Speaker 4: Well, I guess it is that I was asked by a government agency that the Metropolitan Planning Office for Southern California is, is, [00:16:30] is as the acronym Skag s c a g southern California Association of governments. And they asked me to, to look at the problem and I, and I was happy to do so. I think in one sense it's, it's nice to make a contribution to public policy so that we can have a more informed public management just like it is to help private companies do that. But on the other hand, a political process is pretty messy, pretty frustrating at [00:17:00] times is that usually things are a little more sane inside a company, but it's important and I'm Speaker 2: glad to do it. You are listening to spectrum on k l x Berkeley. Our guest is professor Robert Leachman, the industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. We are talking about analyzing supply chains and global trade Speaker 3: to sort of address the idea that [00:17:30] all these efficiencies and productivity gains take jobs out of the economy. Is there some swing back where there are jobs that are created by all these changes? Speaker 7: Yes. Speaker 4: Well, let me divide this into two pieces. First, with regard IOR type work, where we're developing systems to manage supply chains or industries better is that I've been doing this kind of thing [00:18:00] since about 1980 in industrial projects in the U S and abroad. Uh, and I don't ever remember a single project where what we did resulted in a decline in employment. And in fact a lot of those were companies and crises. And if we hadn't been successful, I think a lot of people would have been put out of work. And every one of those projects created new engineering, managerial jobs to manage the information technology that was being used to run the system [00:18:30] better. So kind of on a micro scale of doing projects, it's not my experience that IUR type work reduces in employment. And when I think about the larger scale of all the offshoring of manufacturing from the U S to Asia, the companies doing this are more profitable and the costs of the consumers are much less. Speaker 4: And if you look at the gross national product and the like, these numbers are pretty good and the average [00:19:00] income of Americans is very high compared to the rest of the world. But the distribution to that income bothers me a lot. Increasingly, we're a society of a small number of very wealthy people and a lot of people who were much worse off. And in the era when we manufactured everything that provided a huge amount of middle-class type jobs and we don't have that anymore. We have low paying service jobs and we have a lot of well paying [00:19:30] engineering and management jobs. And that concerns me. I think all the protests we start to see going on even today here on campus, uh, illustrate that. Speaker 3: How do you see the outsourcing of manufactured goods to low wage regions? And supply chain efficiencies playing out over time? Speaker 4: Well, certainly the, the innovations in supply chain management have enabled it, but you know the difference in in salaries between [00:20:00] this part of the world and there has always been there and that wasn't something that was created right and it's not going to go away immediately. Take some time. I think there's, there's little question that Asian goods will cost more. The Asian currencies have been artificially low for a long time, but they are starting to move up as energy gets more deer, transportation costs go up. Our interest rates have been artificially [00:20:30] low since the recession and before. I don't think those low interest rates will last forever and when they go up then inventory gets more expensive and so those supply chains all the way down to Asia will get more expensive. I think we've done a lot of brilliant engineering and other technology improvements that have lowered costs a lot, but I think those costs are going to go up and as they do, then the answer for the [00:21:00] best supply chains is going to bring some stuff back to America. And that's already happening first. The very bulky stuff like furniture and it left North Carolina, but now much of it is come back and I think you'll, you'll see that the, the most expensive items to ship around will be the first to change. Nowadays the big importers have very sophisticated departments studying their supply chains and I truly [00:21:30] believe that they could save a penny per cubic foot of imports. They will change everything to do it Speaker 4: and so things can change very fast. Following the economics Speaker 3: and I understand you're a musician, can you give us some insight into your, a avocation with music? Speaker 4: Well, I'm a jazz pianist. I had come up through classical piano training but then at middle school, high school age, moved to the bay area and [00:22:00] there was lots of jazz happening here and I was excited by that and I actually learned to play jazz on the string bass first. But I had a piano in my room and the dorm I lived at here at Berkeley. And so I was playing a lot and listening to records of people I really enjoyed. And there was lots of jazz happening here and other musicians and we learn from each other and you grow your vocabulary over time and I was gone a couple of years between, Speaker 5: yeah, Speaker 4: Undergrad and Grad school working in industry, but [00:22:30] when I came back here to Grad school then I was playing bars in north beach and the like, but at a certain point you have to decide whether you're going to be a day animal or a night animal. You don't have the hours to do both, but art is very important to me and lyrical jazz piano is very important to me. It's, it's a way to do expression and creativity that I don't think I've found another medium that can match it. Speaker 3: Professor Leishman, thanks very much for coming on spectrum. My pleasure.

These are songs that inspire the best in us. They make us want to join the bands on stage, take up an instrument, and add our own little something to the mayhem. Any instrument is fair game. We've divided things up a bit between instruments, or at least inserted our own commentary for most of the songs, so give a listen... then respond in the comments with your thoughts, and certainly any songs we left out!Due to the nature of the genre, there is a preponderance of guitar songs. Oh, and both DJ's Yuletide and Jack actually DID begin playing guitar because of THESE SONGS!

Happy New Year from BURNcast. In today's episode of BURNcast we speak to the Ice Queen, the fierce and noble leader of Arctica. Then we sit down and set a spell as we hear the sounds of the temple burn. Recorded September 3, 2006 in Black Rock City. BURNcast will be on hiatus for the month of January. BUT — we will be back and we will be fierce in February 2007, so stay tuned. The recording of the temple burn is dedicated to the memory of DaBomb's late father, Roy Lee Barnes, who passed away on October 29, 2006.
