Bob Jensen's Threads
Bob Jensen at Trinity University
One of the features of my website in recent years has been a threading of conversations that I initiated with faculty and other contributors around the world. The purpose of this document is to provide links to some of these threads.

In an August 15, 2001 controversial address to the American Accounting Association, current AAA President Joel Demski lamented the fall of accounting education (I think he meant business education in general) from scholarship, joy, and an academic curriculum. In particular, he blasted the current textbooks and publishers, public accounting firms, accounting educators, administrators, and the tendency for scholarship and curricula to become niched into specialty topics with failing cross-communications between those specialties such as tax accounting , capital markets studies, NFP accounting, managerial accounting, AIS, etc. In particular he laments the way accounting curricula have evolved to meet the career interests of public accounting firm employers and the virtual failing of the five-year, 150-credit, requirements to sit for the CPA examination. At the end of his address to the membership, Joel announced a curriculum-design competition.
You can both read and listen to Joel Demski's August 15 address to the AAA membership at http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~rjensen/001aaa/atlanta01.htm

Adobe Acrobat and PDF Treads, Including Adobe's PDF Search Engine
With a little help from my friends, I learned some new things about PDF files. You can read my comments and the threaded messages at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/acrobat.htm
I illustrate how it is quite easy to convert a HTML document into a PDF document (an almost perfect conversion) versus converting a PDF document back into a HTML document ( a less-than-perfect conversion).
I thread Richard Campbell's message about how to secure an online PDF document such that nobody can copy any part of the document or print any part of the document (other than to capture portions of pages as graphics files). It is also possible to secure an online PDF document such that it cannot be converted into HTML using Adobe's conversion program.
I provide update threads on Adobe's new and frustrating PDF search engine that appears to be outsourced to Altavista. Craig Polhemus mentions some alternative PDF search engines being considered by the American Accounting Association.
Once again those threads are at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/acrobat.htm
Threads on the P2P, PDE, Collaboration, and the Napster/Wrapster/Gnutella/Pointera/FreeNet Paradigm Shift
The Napster/Wrapster/Pointerra/FreeNetGnutella paradigm shift in networking technology is so important to the world that I would like to see continued dialog from other friends and acquaintances on this real paradigm shift taking place in front of our eyes and ears. The founder of Netscape, Mark Andreessen, states the following:
It's a big deal," said Andreessen, who met with Gnutella developers last week and quickly became an admirer. "It will be a way for businesses to expose what they want people to find more easily."
For my threads on this paradigm shift, go to http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/napster.htm
Electronic Books, eBooks, e-Books, and eJournals
Electronic Book, e-Book, eBook, eJournal, and Electronic Journal Watch
Electronic Books or eBooks are books that can be downloaded from the Internet into special reading devices that cannot be printed, photocopied, printed on paper, or copied in whole or in part to computer files. Since they are the highest form of copyright protection, publishers are interested in creating public interest in such books. I added a threaded summary of my previous messages on electronic books at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/ebooks.htm
XML,
XFRML, XBRL, XForm, and RDF Standards
I updated my threaded
messaging of XML, XFRML, XBRL, XForm, and RDF standards that
will become the most important networking standards of the 21st Century.
What is XBRL and why will it change the business reporting world in the 21st
Century? The answers are given at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/xmlrdf.htm
Blackboard Server Threads
Trinity University recently installed
a Blackboard server. To help Trinity faculty and others make decisions how
and when to use this server for courses, I have developed an on-going page of
threaded messages discussing good and bad experiences with the Blackboard
server. I encourage other users to join into the debate. See

Innovations in Pedagogy Including a Tribute to Professors Breit and Elzinga
Over the holiday break I wrote a document (screen play? short story? tutorial? case?) that is a takeoff on the Muppets. It is entitled "Clyde Gives Brother Hat a Lesson in Arbitrage" and can be found at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/acct5341/speakers/muppets.htm
One section in the appendix of the above document deals with some controversial issues of fair value accounting and makes reference to sections of both the FASB's new Exposure Draft on fair value accounting and the JWG position paper of the IASC on fair value accounting for banks.
The bottom section of the above document contains a tribute to Bill Breit and Ken Elzinga. You might enjoy reading about two economics professors who have made several "killings" in fiction writing that also teaches principles of economics.
Threads from Daring Professors
DHTML for Excel Spreadsheets in Internet Explorer
I have an Excel spreadsheet embedded in an HTML document that illustrates how students can change the data in one or more cells and then see the outcomes change in other parts of the spreadsheet and graphs. The important thing is that they can do these dynamic changes in the web browser without downloading an Excel file and then having to run the file in Excel. They never have to leave the web browser. This is a new feature of Excel 2000. You can do the same thing with MS Access databases. It only takes about five minutes to learn how to do this. The illustrations and instructions are at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/dhtml/excel01.htm.

CPA --- Career Passed Away
I have written a futuristic letter and pasted up the many response messages about auditor independence and the pending breakup or reorganization of CPA firms. The web address of my Career Passed Away document is at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/cpaaway.htm
Global Business: A Cultural Perspective
I also want to thank those of you who responded to my request for the latest thinking on crossing cultures. I did in fact receive permission to place Professor Carper's paper in my website. The paper is entitled "Global Business: A Cultural Perspective." My "Introduction" also contains a message from Dr. Carper regarding how you can get an interesting spreadsheet program. The web link is at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/cultures/culture.htm
The above document also contains Dr. Clark's commentaries on Professor Carper's paper.
External Validity Controversies Regarding Students as Subjects in Experiments
I want to thank all of you who responded to my request for the latest thinking on using students as subjects in behavioral research experiments. The general conclusions are that external validity tends to be low in such studies even though students are commonly employed for convenience and cost reasons. You can read more about it and read abstracts of some of the most widely cited papers on this topic at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/student1.htm
