Keeping up my social networking responsibilities is a lot of work!  I&#8217;ve changed my blog page to highlight the feed from the INFORMS Conference blog (where I will guest blog for a few days).   We&#8217;ve started a discussion on the appropriate twitter-tag (I like #baor11). I&#8217;ve contacted some friends for suggestions of a brewpub to visit (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gooseisland.com\/pages\/brewpubs\/4.php\">Goose Island on Clybourn<\/a> seems to be a good choice).  Above all that, I have to read (thoroughly!) the papers associated with the <a href=\"http:\/\/meetings2.informs.org\/Analytics2011\/edelman.html\">Edelman competition<\/a>, where I am a judge.  <\/p>\n<p>I have done my <a href=\"http:\/\/meetings2.informs.org\/Analytics2011\/blog\/?p=89\">first post<\/a> for the <a href=\"http:\/\/meetings2.informs.org\/Analytics2011\/blog\/\">INFORMS Blog<\/a>.

By some weird happenstance, I have never flown with Southwest before, but I am doing so on Saturday.    In view of the issues Southwest is having, I need to do a bit of risk analysis.  I really wish I could attend the risk analysis track before I get on the plane, instead of after I arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Arnie Barnett (operations research go-to guy for aviation risk analysis) has provided insight into the risks.  I think I\u2019ll be OK with Southwest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m getting ready for next week&#8217;s INFORMS Conference on Business Analytics and Operations Research.
