The Yoder three-tier model for optimal planning and execution of contingency contracting
No full textThe following article is taken as an excerpt from the proceedings of the annual Acquisition Research Program. This annual event showcases the research projects funded through the Acquisition Research Program at the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy at the Naval Postgraduate School. Featuring keynote speakers, plenary panels, multiple panel sessions, a student research poster show and social events, the Annual Acquisition Research Symposium offers a candid environment where high-ranking Department of Defense (DoD) officials, industry officials, accomplished faculty and military students are encouraged to collaborate on finding applicable solutions to the challenges facing acquisition policies and processes within the DoD today. By jointly and publicly questioning the norms of industry and academia, the resulting research benefits from myriad perspectives and collaborations which can identify better solutions and practices in acquisition, contract, financial, logistics and program management.

Contingency Contracting operations are increasingly the major source of support and provisioning in forward theaters, especially in light of reductions in organic (non-contracted) support capabilities. Recently, theater combatant commanders have come to rely on contingency contracting officers to support coalition forces, and concurrently, to achieve a transformation of the economic landscape essential for achieving theater objectives. But, critics of recent operations cite deficiencies in DoD's ability to effectively and efficiently conduct a coordinated contracting support effort that integrates the combatant commander's theater objectives with the myriad stakeholders deemed essential for success. Can we, the military, achieve better results? The author contends that with proper understanding of integrated planning and execution, contingency contracting operations can, and will, provide significant leverage for achieving the combatant commander's objectives. The author formally presented, on August 7th, 2003, a Yoder three-tier model for contingency contracting operations to the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School. Subsequent to the NPS faculty presentation, the author published a synoptic interest article in the Army AL&T Magazine's January-February 2004 edition, entitled, Contingency Contracting Operations--Achieving Better Results. Because of continued interest in the Yoder three-tier model expressed by academics, force planners, and contracting offices from several agencies, the author believes a more comprehensive write-up of the Yoder three-tier model is appropriate. The NPS Acquisition Symposium provides the in-depth coverage, broad dissemination and recognized avenue for open dialogue of the model and its potential efficacy. As such, this paper proposes the Yoder three-tier contingency contracting officer model structure for Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force support of theater contingency contracting operations. The creation of this Yoder three-tier model and its employment will allow for better planning and coordination; likewise, it will allow for better tactical, operational, and theater objective support.Second Annual Acquisition Research SymposiumApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Data for: An analysis of conservation practice adoption studies in agricultural human-natural systems
No full textThe supplementary materials contains the full coded dataset for a systematic literature review of 174 studies examining farmers' adoption of conservation practices. It lists each of the 174 peer-reviewed journal articles lead author's last name, year published, and full title, as well as an additional 20 articles that were omitted from coded. It contains definitions for each code and indicates which codes were selected within each article, as well as overall totals. There are two additional spreadsheets that provide the entire 2,044 unique journal articles returned from the full search results and the full search string used in each Web of Science search. The document provides details on how diverse studies characterize conservation adoption from a couple human-natural systems perspective, including types of adoption metrics and whether conservation outcomes are measured, farm characteristics, farmer demographics, individual farmer ability and willingness, social dimensions, and governance factors
Christian nonconformity by J. H. Yoder and M. L. King
No full textThis Bachelor thesis with the title Christian nonconformity by J. H. Yoder and M. L. King, deals with the specific status of Christian in society. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the ethical concept of J. H. Yoder and the second part is dedicated to the ethical concept of M. L. King. The final part is attempting to compare both approaches with a focus on nonconformity. In the comparison is persuaded the social aspect in particular and shows the relationship between the society and the Christians according both concepts. The author of the work uses as literal sources particularly the essays and speeches from M. L. King and from the book of J. H. Yodera: The politics of Jesus. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org

Substantive Due Process and Free Exercise of Religion: Meyer, Pierce and the Origins of Wisconsin v. Yoder
No full textIn this paper the author examines the nature of parents\u27 due process right to direct the education of their children and its relationship to the First Amendment. The article begins with the hardiest of the U.S. Supreme Court\u27s early substantive due process decisions: Meyer v. Nebraska and Pierce v. Society of Sisters. Meyer struck down a Nebraska law forbidding the teaching of foreign language in public or private schools; Pierce struck down an Oregon law requiring attendance at public schools. Part I recounts that the laws in both cases were the result of complex forces, uniting groups as disparate as the Ku Klux Klan and the progressives, both of which advocated the “Americanization” of the state\u27s young people. In both cases, the incidence of the laws fell heavily and deliberately on parochial schools. Yet in both cases the Supreme Court ignored the claims of infringement of religious liberty and resorted to the reasoning of substantive due process to recognize a parental right to direct children\u27s education.
Part II discusses that the constitutional bases for parental rights and free exercise claims in the 1920s were more closely connected than we might have thought at first glance. Indeed, for the Court in that era, free exercise rights were substantive due process rights. Deciding Meyer and Pierce on the basis of parental rights, rather than free exercise grounds, imposed few additional intellectual costs on the Court and, importantly, absolved the Court of some difficult questions surrounding the relationship between the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Like the Court\u27s earlier substantive due process cases, Meyer and Pierce are without constitutional rigor, thereby giving the Court great flexibility to support benevolent causes.
Part III discusses Wisconsin v. Yoder, and Part IV shows that Yoder follows in the substantive due process tradition of Meyer and Pierce. Unlike those cases, Yoder comes with the formal trappings of the Free Exercise Clause, but like those cases, Yoder\u27s free exercise rights are fitted into a larger patchwork of substantive due process rights. As a result, Yoder too lacks doctrinal rigor and becomes a useful vehicle for giving the Court a way out in difficult cases, while not imposing any additional form on the First Amendment. In this sense, Yoder survives Smith, but only because there is so little to survive

Contrasting John Howard Yoder and Stanley Hauerwas on Being the Church in a Culture but not of the Culture
No full text[missing page:107]This thesis examines the contrasts and constructive value in the writings of John Howard Yoder and Stanley Hauerwas concerning the relationship of the church to its surrounding culture. The writings of each author are individually examined to understand their common perspectives on how the church should function within its surrounding culture. Differences between the two authors are then described to highlight each one's distinctive contributions and missteps. The last chapter argues for the constructive value of their combined voice concerning the church addressing and living in culture.Master of Arts (MA
