From Round to Square (and back)

For The Emperor's Teacher, scroll down (↓) to "Topics." It's the management book that will rock the world (and break the vase, as you will see). Click or paste the following link for a recent profile of the project: http://magazine.beloit.edu/?story_id=240813&issue_id=240610

A new post appears every day at 12:05* (CDT). There's more, though. Take a look at the right-hand side of the page for over four years of material (2,000 posts and growing) from Seinfeld and country music to every single day of the Chinese lunar calendar...translated. Look here ↓ and explore a little. It will take you all the way down the page...from round to square (and back again).
*Occasionally I will leave a long post up for thirty-six hours, and post a shorter entry at noon the next day.

I'm Innocent...
Roll Tide

But now that I have your attention, I want to tell you that football (the American kind) has been played at the University of Alabama since 1892. 
[b] Don't Stop RF

That's the year a geeky football powerhouse-to-be called the University of Chicago opened a few Oxford copycat doors.

 I am not sure if they ever played, but I am looking into it. All I know is that Alabama never stopped letting football dominate academics, and Chicago blinked (way to go, Robert Maynard Hutchins...I hope you're happy with your old Heisman and academic respectability...and Division III football today.

Whoo-hoo. 

 Moi? I'll bask in fifteen national championships and concede Chicago a few of those "Nobel" things I've heard about.

 Roll Tide.
