Psychologists have found that people tend to forget that a head is just as likely to be followed by a head as by a tail; therefore they have too many reversals, and too few strings of heads, in their successive guesses. If a fair coin toss comes up heads thirty times in a row, the next toss is still equally likely to be heads or tails.

Consider an individual trying to produce a random series of heads or tails decisions without any external aid. People aren't good at being random; “therefore they have too many reversals, and too few strings of heads, in their successive guesses” (Dixit & Nalebuff, 1991, p. 184). This example helps to illustrate the difficulty of producing truly random data.

Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell and Martha Nussbaum. She shares with them not only the attempt to work out a chastened, usable, non-metaphysical discourse and vocabulary for a qualified humanist ethics but also their conception of the novel as an embodiment of moral philosophy.

Murdoch tried to work out a chastened, usable, non-metaphysical discourse and vocabulary for a qualified humanist ethics. In this regard, it has been suggested that she shared a great deal with other philosophers (e.g., Rorty, Cavell, and Nussbaum) (Bényei, 2003, p. 151).

But what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education? While the question of how global processes influence all aspects of education (and who controls these forces) is multidimensional and not completely testable, there appear to be some theories of globalization as it relates to education that can be empirically examined.

Rutkowski and Rutkowski (2009) ask "what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education?" (p. 138). This question is not entirely testable and has multiple dimensions but theories of globalization's impact on education exist and provide means of empirical analysis.

In a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners' peer feedback. Anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. However, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback.

According to Howard, Barrett, and Frick (2010), in order to make appropriate choices educators must understand the ways in which hiding or showing the identity of participants can impact the interaction that takes place in peer feedback activities. Obscuring the identity of participants in peer feedback "may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited" (p. 90).

It is not expected that the aspects of a design case which excite the authors are precisely what reviewers see as the case's true points of merit. I was excited to write my design case because I felt it was novel, but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case. A design that is unusual or new forces the author to explain its complexity with more precision.

Coming up with a novel solution is often a good way of getting attention, “but novelty is not necessarily an asset to a design case” that describes in detail how the design solution was arrived at (Howard, 2011). A novel solution to a problem may also meet with resistance from those who are invested in the old ways of doing things.

Modifications that increase task difficulty are also presented to assist instructors in structuring developmental progressions for activities that reflect various net/wall games. For example, game modifications that require participants to strike a ball with a hand after a bounce are introduced before requiring participants to strike a ball with a racquet or with a hand without a bounce.

A game can be changed so that players hit a ball with their hand after it has bounced. This easier version of a game can be played before players are required to hit the ball with a racquet or their hand before it hits the floor. This is an example of "modifications that increase task difficulty" to help "instructors in structuring developmental progressions for activities" (Mandigo & Anderson, 2003, p. 9).

Obviously, it is vitally important in the war of attrition that individuals should give no inkling of when they are going to give up. Anybody who betrayed, by the merest flicker of a whisker, that he was beginning to think of throwing in the sponge, would be at an instant disadvantage.

In nature it is common for a fight between two animals to be preceded by a standoff where they closely observe one another. Clearly, in this situation "individuals should give no inkling of when they are going to give up" (Dawkins, 1989, p. 77) in order to avoid giving the other an advantage.

Many physical education and health curricula have been developed to foster active, healthy lifestyles through various learning outcomes and objectives. Although such a goal may be desired and valued by our society, ways to achieve this goal are less understood. If elementary physical education is to assist children in developing skills and understanding that will serve as the foundation for future activities, then educators at all levels need to develop ways to foster these skills and understanding across numerous types of activities.

While I was in elementary school we would play wall games during recess. We weren't thinking about keeping fit but we were being active. Maybe this is an important lesson for educators. Mandigo and Anderson (2003) say that educators must enhance their ability to cultivate these types of skills and understandings related to healthy lifestyles across various activities to serve as foundations for future choices.

Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

While some have identified Merck as a visionary company dedicated to a "core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money" (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 48), others point out corporate misdeeds perpetrated by Merck (e.g., its role in establishing a dubious medical journal that republished articles favorable to Merck products) as contradictory evidence.

The Diffusion Simulation Game (DSG) teaches change management strategies which are consistent with Rogers' (2003) diffusion of innovation theory and related research. The player's goal within the DSG is to promote the acquisition of strategies that result in the adoption of an instructional innovation (peer tutoring) by the principal, teachers, and support staff at a fictional junior high school. The underlying model of the DSG represents several concepts of the diffusion of innovations theory such as: progressive adoption stages (awareness, interest, appraisal and trial, and adoption of the innovation), adopter types (innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards), opinion leaders, and gatekeepers.

Diffusion of innovations theory concepts that are represented in the Diffusion Simulation Game include progressive adoption stages, adopter types, opinion leaders, and gatekeepers (Lara, Myers, Frick, Aslan, & Michaelidou, 2010). The problem of how to best get people to adopt an innovation should be particularly familiar to those interested in technology start-ups. Perhaps a version of the game could be created to help people learn about diffusion of innovations theory in an entrepreneurial context.
