...entirely new. A classic Beer Game was created by Jay Forrester, an MIT professor, in the 1960s (he also worked on an aircraft flight simulator in the 1940s—what a guy). Later a “Root Beer Game” was developed to demonstrate supply chain management. Homework has never been...
Hotpot Paradise Ordinarily an informal affair, hot-pot gets the upscale treatment at branches of this swish chain (also called Ding Ding Xiang). The mixed-vegetable platter and the sampler dish of Inner Mongolian lamb will give you plenty of things to simmer, and go well with either the mushroom broth or the herbal black-chicken soup.

Get a side order of the restaurant's award-winning sesame crispbread, and wash it all down with a jug of cold soybean milk. Dinner for two runs...
...really shocking? Even Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre admits that the company was never primarily concerned with flavor. "Our core strength for 50 years is delivery convenience," he told me. And it's not as if a subpar product was doing that much damage to its business; the chain is still firmly entrenched as the No. 2 pizza source in the world (behind Pizza Hut). The fact is that the Domino's reboot isn't that great. I just had one. It's slightly softer and greasier now, in an enjoyable way. Whatever. The point is not the taste itself...
...fatty-acid craze threatening our ecosystem? The best omega-3 source is oily fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines. Environmentalists fear that some species - especially a small filter feeder called menhaden, which plays a critical role in the aquatic food chain - are being overfished for oil supplements. Bigger fish prey on menhaden, which eat omega-3-rich algae and in doing so clean the ocean waters off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. By filtering up to 7 gal. (about 26 L) per min., menhaden help prevent oxygen-depleting algal blooms that lead to underwater dead zones...
...Russian government also hinted that in order to keep oil prices down, Belarus should give Moscow a stake in its energy infrastructure - namely the oil refineries it uses to process oil for resale to Europe. This would play into Russia's larger aim of controlling the energy supply chain from the oil fields of Siberia to the gas stations of Western Europe...
