This document discusses lame domain name delegations, which occur when a domain nameserver is listed as authoritative for a domain but does not actually serve that domain. The author implemented a patch that detects lame delegations and alerts administrators. A weekly script analyzes these alerts, filters out transient errors, and notifies the appropriate hostmaster via email. This approach helps administrators identify and resolve lame delegations across the distributed University of Michigan network and beyond.
or the first time ever there is a comprehensive theory of organization that places human performance in its rightful place as the driver of strategic roll out and success.

This document is a travel diary from a trip to Tibet from September 12th to October 6th.

Exploring New Methods for Protecting and Distributing Confidential Research ...Bryan Beecher
The document discusses improving methods for distributing confidential research data. It proposes moving from traditional paper-based systems to a cloud-based model where researchers could access sensitive data and analytic tools securely through a web portal. Some benefits include improved speed, scalability and cost-effectiveness compared to existing approaches. However, challenges include ensuring security, performance, and meeting researchers' needs when providing customizable virtual research environments in the cloud.
This is a talk from the Coalition for Networked Information Fall 2010 Member Meeting (CNIfall2010). I talked about our project to use Fedora as archival storage for social science research data and documentation.
This document provides an introduction to a framework for improving organizational performance and employee satisfaction based on social science. It begins by noting that small improvements in sales and costs can dramatically increase profits due to multiplier effects. It then asks whether human performance could be improved by 2% to increase sales and reduce costs, in turn doubling profits, without disrupting operations or requiring intense pushing by leaders. The document introduces a general theory of psychology that links human behavior directly to organizational performance and profit/loss. The framework aims to systematically construct organizations and link people to achieve better results.
The role of human resources in the modern organisation Wheelers PDFGraylit
The role of human resources has strengthened and become a strategic driver of organizational results. HR is now represented on the board and oversees organizational design based on the OPD-SHRM model. This model links organizational strategy to staff behavior and performance in a way that improves profits. The case study company implemented the OPD-SHRM system, which emerged HR as a natural partner to team leaders. HR now guides human performance through monitoring implementation of OPD processes and psychological targets to improve business goals and key performance indicators.
This document provides an agenda and overview for a two-day workshop on modern team leadership. The workshop will review the OPD-SHRM organizational model and processes that team leaders can use to improve team performance. Day one will cover defining success, building an architecture to specify goals and ideal actions, guiding the team psychologically, and establishing performance management processes. Day two focuses on the role of HR in supporting team leaders and coordinating corporate processes. The workshop emphasizes giving team leaders the skills to clearly define goals and expectations to engage employees and achieve strategic objectives.
Moving an Archive from Tape to Disk: A Case-Study at ICPSRBryan Beecher
This document summarizes ICPSR's efforts to transition its archive from tape to disk storage between 2006-2008. It describes ICPSR's mission to collect and preserve social science data. In 2006, ICPSR digitally preserved objects on tape but lacked automation. A new plan automated processes, moved all digital content from tape to disk by 2007, and discarded unnecessary paper records. This transition reduced costs while improving access and preservation for ICPSR staff. While progress was made, further work is still needed on a proper digital preservation system and long-term storage of larger digital objects and restricted-access materials.
The Origin of Consciousness 6th Edition pdfGraylit
This document provides background on Graham Little's intellectual journey and how he came to write this book. He began a PhD in organic chemistry but decided he did not want to be a research chemist. He then took a job with Shell Oil where he showed a talent for training and understanding human behavior. This led him to begin studying social science to better understand how human behavior works. Over nearly 40 years of independent study and research, he developed a new methodology for understanding individuals and society as a scientific discipline. The book aims to present a general theory of the person using this new methodology, addressing questions about consciousness, the mind, spirituality, development, and more. It argues historical failures in social science can be attributed to weaknesses in methodology
