story: after considering an outside search to fill one of its most visible positions, the university of texas named one of its own employees friday to lead the mccombs school of business.
george gau, 54, will replace outgoing dean bob may, who will return to teaching. in a career dating to 1988, gau has earned a strong reputation for starting joint ventures with businesses and creating a nationally recognized real estate program.
ut president larry faulkner said friday in a letter to administrators and search committee members that he spent the past three weeks trying to decide whether to choose gau or look for an outsider who might bring a higher profile and shake things up.
"there was a hope by many involved in this search that we could recruit the right person from the outside, in part just because we had gone inside for so long. i was among them," faulkner wrote. "however, my hope does not extend to the point of being willing to take a pass on the strongest candidate just because he comes from the inside."

the choice that is not a technique that you should use to come up with ideas for the topic of a research project is, writing about academic subjects that are not interesting to you. this does not belong to the techniques to come up with ideas because having no interest in a certain topic will lose your drive to come up with better ideas. it gives no room for improvement and acquiring of new ideas and information. 

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
