Can I salvage my college career in my final year?
I'm about to enter my senior year of college as a Computer Science major with pretty much the worst profile possible: a just-above-being-kicked-out GPA, no internships or relevant experience, no extracurriculars, no well-developed skills. Is there any way I can make myself employable in the next 10 months? [more inside]
Which doors are open (or not firmly closed) to someone like me?
Which career fields or industries are realistically open, or at least, not hostile, to middle-aged people wishing to achieve professional and financial success for the first time, in the current climate? [more inside]
How can I frame my willingness to leave a job after only a month?
I recently started a job that ranks between okay and good. I have now been contacted about a job that would be OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT WHOAAAA. How can I possibly interview without revealing what a jerk I am for leaving a job after only a month? [more inside]
Anxiety or Intuition?: Special Career Edition
I have an offer for a position I was initially excited about. But something doesn't feel right, and I'm hesitating. Is that feeling just normal anxiety about change and the unknown, or a gut feeling about the position/place? [more inside]
I've fallen down a well and can't get out
I was a high achiever during high school and college, but after 10 years of working in the real world, I'm stuck in a mediocre career with few options for advancement. How can an achievement-oriented person such as myself find happiness in mediocrity? [more inside]
I want to quit my federal job, but am unsure if it's the right choice.
Should I give up my federal government job? Major snow storm inside. [more inside]
How do I live this awful job?
My job is awful — and I mean really awful. I can't get a full night's sleep, take care of myself, or have a life any more. I'm suffering mentally and physically, but the exit door isn't clearly marked. I could use some advice...and also, a new job. Lots of shitty snowflakes inside. [more inside]
New mom asking: Go back to work or not?
How could I possibly leave my baby to go back to work? And yet, tons of people have done it, including many I work with. How?? ... And then on the other hand, how could I quit working? (Long -- feel free to skip ahead to the question section.) [more inside]
Weighing my first job offer after graduate school
I recently completed my master's degree, and have spent the past six weeks looking for a relevant job. This week I received my first offer, but am torn about whether to accept or keep looking. [more inside]
Non-academic career suggestions for Psychology PhD
I am considering leaving a tenure-track faculty position in Psychology in order to have a more normal life. I would be very grateful for suggestions on non-academic careers. More inside. [more inside]
My new job is a giant over-promotion and I am horrified
One week into my new job and it has dawned on me that I have absolutely skipped many steps in my career and I am unqualified. The pros: More money! More challenge! The cons: It feels like a countdown to me being discovered as a fraud and getting fired. How do I position myself for the best outcome? (Very long, if you need a good book) [more inside]
Severe depression and job search
Feeling serious despair. I left a toxic work environment, yet not in the smartest way and that was a year ago. I've done some PT work before moving to another state. [more inside]
Yet another "Do I want this job?" question
I've been at my current employer for about three years. I'm thinking of making a career move, so that I focus more on, let's say, tennis policy analysis. I've found a job that looks promising, but I'm having a hard time telling if it's the right next step for me. [more inside]
How to Try to Get Value at Work
For a number of reasons, I don't feel valued at my current workplace. I know what I ultimately need to do, but what do I do about my feeling useless and lack of hopelessness in the meantime? [more inside]
Should I Apply For Training Jobs If I Have Panic Attacks When I Train?
One of the primary roles in my last job was training. At some point I started having panic attacks when I began my training sessions, which was a cause of real distress in the moment, but also longer term as I was now worried about my ability to do my job. Now that my company has closed down, I'm looking for a new job, and I've become aware that I'm subtly discounting opportunities which involve training out of fears related to panic attacks. I really don't think I can afford to overlook these positions in the current job market, but my brain keeps imagining turning up at a new job and having a panic attack in front of a whole new group of people, and naturally things grind to a halt from there. Any thoughts, advice or previous experience would be most welcome; comprehensive history inside. [more inside]
GF is more successful than me, how do I deal?
My girlfriend is more successful than me. How do I keep myself from turning into a jealous weird guy? I want to celebrate and support her success, without getting bummed out and feeling emasculated. Looking for strategies (non-redpill) on how to not let this get to me, not blow my budget, and maintain my sense of masculinity. [more inside]
To be young, gifted, and non-white
I'm an introvert working in a newsroom. I'm in a position that manages people, workflow, and the news. The Big Boss started out a Nice Guy but is now The Big Bad. I enjoy the work. I do not enjoy getting treated like shit. How do I keep my sanity? [more inside]
I think I may need to offer my head up for hunting...
I'm a writer and former academic with a diverse skill set. I'm looking to make a major career transition, but am unsure how to find the kinds of jobs that I believe would be professionally satisfying to me. [more inside]
How to work a professional network?
I've been a freelancer for over a decade. It's had its good points, but I'm feeling burned out and ready for something new. I would like to find a full-time salaried position, but I'm feeling a little lost about how to go about it. Can you offer guidance? [more inside]
Should I become a counselor?
I think I need a new career: my current one is going nowhere, and I'm incredibly unhappy. It occurred to me that I might have a better life, if I were to become a counselor of some sort. Am I right? [more inside]

What questions and issues should I raise at a federal interview?
I recently had a phone interview for a federal GS-11 paralegal specialist position that went well. They've offered to fly me out for an in-person interview at their location. I've never worked for the federal government, but have roughly 10 years of experience working in various law firms. If this were a law firm, I'd know what questions to ask, and what the red flags would be. However, when it comes to the federal government, I'm really clueless about everything. If you transitioned from a career in the private sector to the federal government, what do you wish you had asked before you started? [more inside]
help! should I drop out of my MFA writing program?
I started a MFA writing program in Vancouver this fall. I wasn't sure about whether I should go or not to begin with, and now, I'm still second-guess and worrying I made a big mistake. I'm unhappy, often, and I'm worried that if I stay it will be for the wrong reasons: a big, heavy sunken cost fallacy. Can you help, please? Long complicated backstory inside. [more inside]
Working as a medical writer/editor. Difficulty level: No undergrad
I want to explore a career as a medical writer/editor. I've worked in the healthcare field for 18 years and I feel I have a lot of things going for me, however I don't have the undergraduate degree that most employers list as required. More details below the jump. [more inside]
Looking for and starting a new job while trying to get pregnant
I've been affected by a round of layoffs and am looking for work. The search has been going well and there are some prospects. My major source of anxiety right now is that this is happening while I am trying to get pregnant. [more inside]
Confused about giving up my job that I know (almost) inside out.
Been working at the same not-for-profit for 4 years and I feel that I'm 'in with the bricks', get on with my colleagues and am the 'go to person' in the organisation. However, I've ALWAYS been unsure about the ethics of my boss regarding such things as favouritism, making rules up as she goes along, finance etc. I've now been offered another job as an Executive Assistant for local council - more money, better holidays etc BUT I'm scared. More inside. [more inside]

Leaving a dream job for a better quality of life
About a year and a half ago, I was offered an absolute dream job opportunity with a company I obsess over. I feel like the things I am doing have the chance to change the world in at least a small way, and I am well respected and valued in my organization. I have direct access to VIPs that others would love the chance to have a single coffee with. But, it's incredibly stressful at times and has a poor work-life balance. Should I leave this job for an almost-as-cool job that might be better for my family? [more inside]
Got a generous job offer but am having trouble deciding
I'm a recent college grad about to start a master's in computer science. I'm in a very fortunate position in that I've been interning at a national lab in New Mexico this summer and have been offered a fellowship that would cover my tuition, pay me a stipend while in school, and give me a full time job after graduation. But I'm not sure that this is what I want for my career. [more inside]
Career rechanneling advice for a Canadian law-talking guy

22 year old in need of career/schooling advice :)
I am a 22 year old female and live in the US. Currently I'm looking for career and school advice. Making decisions is so hard for me though because I tend to overthink and be doubtful of myself. Advice? [more inside]
Career Advice Filter: what am I?
I've given out the odd bit of career advice here, but now I find myself in my own bored, unhappy rut. Jobhunting throws up hundreds of results because I am a jack-of-all-trades, but all I can muster for all the options is total apathy. Help! [more inside]
How to approach supervisor about moving from 1.00 FTE to 0.75 FTE?
Another department recently offered me a 0.25 FTE position, and I'm sort of nervous about approaching my current boss about asking if my current department would support/allow this. [more inside]
I Want Less Money and No Power!
I was a software developer for the first 10 years of my career (1998-2008) before going into management. I'm now an executive at a Fortune 500 company with a high-stress job overseeing 250+ engineers layered within four levels of management under me. It's a great job - I'm incredibly lucky to have it - but I need help planning my exit. I want to be a software developer again. [more inside]
Reluctance to stay in academia: is this burnout or a sign?
I'm in the last stretch of my PhD in the UK, with a month left before I submit my thesis. I also have a full-time job as a lecturer. I enjoy and am energised by teaching but am increasingly reluctant to focus on research. Part of this is probably exhaustion from the PhD, and I know I shouldn't make any decisions now, but part of it feels like genuine dislike of the work and skepticism of its value. What do I need to consider, post-submission, in evaluating my future? [more inside]
Technical or Professional certifications a non-IT professional
Are there any technical or professional certificates that a non-IT professional could obtain that would be appealing to future employers? I'm in my mid-30s and all of my work experience has involved non-technical office work. I'm currently a manager (like, actual manager, not an office manager) of one of the branch offices of a small company and oversee a small staff, but I'm looking for a change of scenery. Other than an MBA, are there any certifications (whether professional or technical) that a beginner can obtain that would be attractive to potential employers? If it matters, I currently make in the mid $50s and would like my next job to pay the same or more. I know, I know... Thanks in advance!
Career question: how to transition out of nonprofit track?
I have worked for the federal government for five years (2 on Capitol Hill and 3 in SLC) and also for a well respected local nonprofit here in Salt Lake City, UT for the past two years. I'm Associate Director and things are good. However, unless I become Exec. Director there isn't much upward mobility. Plus, I wrote another question earlier this year about avoiding burnout, which is a problem with nonprofits, long hours, small staffs, etc. What I'm saying is I can't see working in the nonprofit world long term. I don't really see myself transferring to another nonprofit in town either. [more inside]
I'm hitting rock bottom. How do I pull myself back up?
Everything in my life seems to be spiraling out of control. I'm afraid I'll hit rock bottom soon and will need to rebuild my whole life. Help me not go crazy. [more inside]
I can quit my miserable job — but should I?
I started a new job a little over a year ago. After starting I realized the job (and company culture) was not for me, but it is very "prestigious," I liked my coworkers and found it tolerable, at least, so decided to stay. After a series of management shakeups and horrendous treatment of my department, all of my coworkers have left... leaving only me. I can quit, but should I? [more inside]

Deciding between two library jobs
I have to choose between two librarian positions soon, and could use others' advice and experience. I have been an academic librarian for a number of years, married to an academic, and we have both received offers from the same two universities. This is great, because we get to finally live together full-time. But, the two librarian jobs and universities are quite different. [more inside]

Looking for women-founded and women-run technology companies
I am a woman whose experience in technology is eerily similar to that of the women in these two articles. I am at a breaking point. But rather than leave the field, I would like to shift employment so that I'm working at exclusively women-led or women-run companies. Can anyone provide some ideas for potential places to apply for full-time employment? [more inside]
How to deal with grad school woes
2nd year student in a PhD program and I'm hitting some major roadbumps. Questioning my academic career, research plans falling apart, and absentee advisor(s) are all contributing to the problem. Would quit in an instant, but some complications recently arose. [more inside]
Lie by omission or be brutally honest?

How to address burnout and work overload when you're the sole employee?
I manage a very small nonprofit organization. We had two employees, including myself, but had to let employee #2 go due to funding cuts. Our workload was already too heavy and I was burning out, so now it's just getting worse. I have the authority to control my workload and make cuts, but I don't know where to begin since nothing on my plate is unimportant and there's no other employees to shift the work to, either.

Tom Brady's 'Deflategate' Suspension Reinstated By Appeals Court
Tom Brady's four-game suspension by the NFL for reportedly deflating footballs is back on. The penalty was overturned by federal judge last summer, who agreed with Brady's argument that the penalty was unfair.

An isolation policy was adopted in feudal Japan from 1639 to 1853 owing to the fear of foreign influence. During those 200 years of isolation, all foreigners were withheld from the country with the exception of the Dutch, who were permitted to establish a trading post on a small island in the Bay of Nagasaki, called Decima. Western culture and science reached the Japanese exclusively through the Dutch on Decima. Health care on Decima was provided by Dutch barber-surgeons, who introduced Western surgical practice in Japan. Official interpreters were the only Japanese allowed on Decima. It was from among these interpreters that the first Japanese surgeons arose who, having mastered the Dutch language, translated several Dutch anatomic and surgical texts. Genpaku Sugita translated a Dutch anatomy textbook into Japanese, which was completed in 1774. This book, entitled Kaitai Shinsho [New Book on Anatomy], was the first Western scientific monograph to be translated entirely into Japanese. Several Dutch surgical schools were founded through which Dutch surgery, known in Japan as "surgery of the red-haired" was propagated. According to the custom of the surgical guilds in Holland, certificates were granted to Japanese apprentices who had completed their training in Dutch surgery. About 60 Dutch surgeons had served on Decima up to 1850, providing the basis for surgery to develop in Japan. Among them, Philipp Franz von Siebold was an exceptional scholar who also had a great impact in making Japanese culture known to the Western world.
Surgeons from Europe who are visiting a surgical department in Japan might be surprised by their Japanese colleagues asking for a "mes" when starting with an operation. The Japanese word for the surgeon's scalpel is mesu, which is similar to the Dutch word mes, meaning knife. Other Japanese medical terms that find their origin in the Dutch language are kateteru, which is derived from the Dutch word catheter, and supoito, a syringe, which comes from the Dutch word spuit.
The year 2002 was the memorial year of the foundation of the V.O.C., the Dutch East India Trading Company, which left an important legacy all over the world. During the following year, many exhibitions and festivities were organized to commemorate this event, both in The Netherlands and Japan. This article was written to highlight the impact of the Dutch barber-surgeons on teaching Western surgery in feudal Japan.
Dutch Factory in Nagasaki, the Gate to Dutch Surgery
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot in Japan, around the year 1530. Bungo-Funai, where the Portuguese set up a small hospital, became the center of Portuguese medicine, the Namban Igaku. The Jesuit priest Ferreira, who later changed his name to the Japanese Savano Chuan, wrote a book on Portuguese surgery entitled Namban-Geka-Hidensho [The Secret Tradition of Namban Surgery]. The book basically conveyed the humoral theories of Hippocrates and Galen [2].
The increasing influence of the Christian church as propagated by the Portuguese priests aroused the suspicion of the Japanese authorities and eventually led to all foreigners being expelled from Japan. This event, enacted by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1639, marked a period of isolation in which Japan kept its ports closed to all foreign ships. An exception was made for the Dutch because they kept far away from any religious involvement and limited themselves to trading with the Japanese. As a matter of fact, the Dutch in those days were at war with the Spanish, as they opposed compulsory Roman Catholicism, which tempted the Shogun to gather the Dutch on his side.
First Japanese Treatise on Anatomy Translated from a Dutch Anatomy Textbook
Importance of Dutch Surgery on Decima
The surgeons of the Dutch factory on Decima played a significant role in the advancement of Western medicine in Japan. Particularly surgery, as practiced by the Dutch, was regarded with great interest. Operations had, on a limited scale, been performed by the Portuguese; and one wonders why the Japanese regarded surgery carried out by the Dutch as so sensational. It might have been because the Dutch surgeons of Decima offered a surgical system, which was in keeping with the development of surgery in Europe. The introduction of vessel ligation for hemostasis by the French surgeon Ambroise Paré at the end of the sixteennth century, marked a new era in surgery. With increasing knowledge of anatomy thanks to the work of, among others, Vesalius, Eustachius, Fallopius, and Van den Spiegel, surgery eventually achieved the status of a science. The Japanese translation of the Dutch handbook on anatomy opened the door to practice surgery.
During the seventeeth century, the barber-surgeons in the Dutch cities were organized in guilds, which also conducted competence examinations. Having passed the examinations, surgical apprentices were admitted to the guild, which granted them a surgeon's certificate. The first surgeons to arrive at the Dutch factory on Decima, however, were ship's surgeons, who clearly formed a separate category within the profession. The Dutch East India Company assigned to each of her major ships one or more surgeons, who were in charge of the health care of the crew during the long voyage to the East. During the first quarter of the seventeeth century, the Company's Chamber at Middelburg, for example, engaged 114 surgeons and 3 physicians for its ships and stations in the Dutch East Indies [8].
To become a ship's surgeon took only 1 year of apprenticeship; and because he was authorized to work only on board ship or overseas, the ship's surgeon had, in general, a less favorable image than his mainland colleagues. Up to the year 1850, some 60 surgeons had been appointed to the Dutch factory on Decima for a period varying from 1 to 4 years [9]. Although salaries were low and life on Decima lacked the conveniences of the homeland, most of the factory surgeons obviously found some reason for wanting to visit Decima. For the adventurous, there was the journey to Japan, past remote coasts and exotic ports. The scholar could study the Japanese culture, which at that time was unknown to the Europeans. Thus, the quality of the Decima surgeons varied greatly, from a mere "horse doctor" to a scientist of great importance.
Nagasaki Interpreters, the First Students of Dutch Surgery
Communication between the Dutch and the Japanese took place by means of interpreters; consequently, the first Japanese physicians of Western medicine emerged from the group of interpreters, rather than from the residing Japanese physicians [10]. The interpreter Dembei Inomata became one of the pupils of Caspar Schambergen; and together with six other interpreters he wrote the Kaspar-Ryu-Isho, or The Medical Book of the Caspar School, which was later succeeded by Oranda Geka-Sho [The Book of Dutch Surgery]. Hoan Arashiyama (1633-1692), was the first Japanese person to undergo complete surgical training from the Dutch on Decima. His main instructors were Daniel Busch and Hermanus Katz, who were serving as the surgeons to the Dutch factory around 1650. As was customary with the surgical guilds in Holland, Hoan Arashiyama received a surgeon's certificate after he had passed a proficiency test. The certificate is dated January 21, 1665 and is signed by the head of the factory, Jacob Gruijs, and surgeons Nicolaes de Roy and Daniel Busch. The fact that a certificate was issued proves that the Japanese apprentices were trained in surgery according to the standards in Holland and hence were fully qualified. The surgeon's certificate granted to the interpreter Nids Kitzibeoye has also been preserved. This certificate, issued on Decima on February 20, 1668, bears the signatures of factory chief Constantin Ranst and surgeon Arnold Dircksz. A passage from this certificate as translated from the Dutch, is as follows [11].
Constantin Ranst, born in Amsterdam, chief on behalf of the chartered Dutch East India Company in the empire of Japan, hail, attests that the chief-interpreter Kichibei Nishi, having witnessed the practice of surgery for many years under the Dutch as well as under the Portuguese priests, generally has distinguished himself through his keeness of observation in such manner that he not only largely must surpass the knowledge of all other Japanese physicians but is to be considered a European surgeon.
Dutch Surgical Schools in Japan
The first Dutch surgeon on Decima whose name occurs in the literature, is Caspar Schambergen, who was attached to the Dutch factory from 1649 to 1651. He gave lessons in surgery to the Japanese and introduced a surgical system, which after a century and a half was still acknowledged as the Kaspar-ryu-geka [the Caspar school of surgery].
Caspar Schambergen was also one of the first factory surgeons to visit Edo, the residence of the Shogun. Once a year, the head of the Dutch factory was obliged to wait upon the Shogun in Edo (nowadays Tokyo), as was the duty of all feudal lords. The annual journey to Edo took several months, and the head of the factory with a delegation from Decima traveled through the country by sedan [12]. During one of the first court visits in 1649, the surgeon Caspar Schambergen was in the Dutch party. The court at Edo was so much impressed by his skills and his knowledge of surgery, that, when the Dutch delegation departed for Nagasaki, he was invited to stay. For 6 months he was the guest of the Shogun, which is considered quite an achievement so shortly after the proclamation of isolation. In the presence of the court physicians, Caspar Schambergen lectured on Dutch surgery and demonstrated operations. This was referred to as Komo-ryu geka.
The Caspar school was the first school of Dutch surgery, but more schools were to follow. In his Dawn of Western Science in Japan, Genpaku Sugita mentioned several surgical schools [7]. Although the surgical schools were all more or less alike, each school had its own rules and philosophy as laid down in the Densho, the instructions of the school. In addition to the Caspar school, the Nishi school of surgery, founded by the interpreter Kichibei Nishi (1666), the Kurisaki school, and the Katsuragawa school were all reknown surgical schools in Japan.
Japanese Surgical Textbooks
Hoan Arashiyama, the founder of the Katsuragawa school, wrote a textbook on Western medicine entitled Bankoku-Chiho-Ruishu-Tekiden [An Explanation of the Medical Practices of Foreign Countries]. He mainly recorded what he had learned from his instructor Daniel Busch and limited himself for the greater part to the treatment of wounds. Occasionally, he mentioned operations and operative techniques but scrupulously omitted many of the details because they were considered confidential. In this respect, he also followed his Dutch masters, as it was common practice with competing surgeons in Holland not to reveal to one another their specific skills.
In the year 1768, Jan Crans, chief of the Dutch factory, and surgeon Rudolf Bauer set out from Decima for the annual visit to the Shogun's court at Edo. Bauer was reknowned for his surgical skills, and it was under his tutorship that the interpreter Kozaemon Yoshio was trained in Dutch surgery. Yoshio, who meanwhile had built up a reputation of his own as a surgeon, accompanied the Dutch party to act as interpreter. In Edo, the Dutch surgeon and his Japanese apprentice aroused great interest. Bauer cured a patient with gangrene of the tongue and performed a venesection. Genpaku Sugita attended the venesection surgery and described how skillfully Bauer, who had estimated beforehand the distance the blood would spurt, caught the jet of blood in a vessel. Highly impressed, Genpaku Sugita accompanied the two surgeons during the rest of their visit. On one occasion, Yoshio showed him a Dutch surgical textbook he had recently acquired for the price of 20 barrels of the best sake (rice wine). The textbook, which Sugita was eager to borrow from Yoshio, was a copy of the Heelkundige Onderwijzingen [Lessons in Surgery] by Laurens Heister; it was a highly acclaimed surgical textbook published in Dutch in 1741 [7].
Von Siebold: Surgeon of Great Versatility
Von Siebold was more than just surgeon; he was also a biologist, a geographer, and an ethnologist. His pupils, to whom he granted a diploma modeled on the surgeon's certificate of Daniel Busch, were required to write a dissertation in the Dutch language about various subjects relating to Japanese culture. In this way, he gathered material from which he composed his Nippon, an impressive seven-volume publication dealing with Japanese culture. The name of Von Siebold was to live on in his pupils, some of whom, such as Gensho Honma (1804-1872) and Seikai Totsuki (1799-1876), became renowned surgeons in Japan.
It would take until 1853 before Japan was forced to give up its isolation policy and open its ports to Western nations. Thereafter, Western medical knowledge, which had reached the Japanese only through the Dutch factory on Decima, continued to develop. By 1870, the evolution of Western medicine in Japan had become strongly influenced by German medicine [2]. This reorientation from Dutch to German medicine resulted from the fact that in Europe the German medical system had attained a leading position. Then ofter World War II, it was the American visiting professors who greatly contributed to modern Japanese medical practice [18]. Today, surgery in Japan has its own identity and has made major contributions to the various fields of surgery.
Interestingly, the religious reasons that some 400 years ago prohibited the performance of autopsies and hampered anatomic knowledge in feudal Japan have directed the way transplantation surgery developed in modern Japan. The belief that human integrity should be preserved after death, has proven to be a major obstacle to retrieving donor organs for transplantation. Whereas many thousands of cadeveric liver transplantations have been performed in Europe, perhaps only a dozen cadaveric liver transplants have been undertaken in Japan. The Japanese solution to this problem was the concept of using partial liver grafts from living donors. Japanese surgeons have pioneered this technique and have provided the basis for living (un)related liver transplantation, as is now practiced in a number of centers throughout the world. This surgical achievement in the end may be seen as a credit to Caspar Schambergen and his red-haired colleagues, who, three and a half centuries ago, laid the foundation for surgery in Japan.

The 6 ½ th President of Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas, is Michael Lewis???
Mr.Mike Lewis the president of the Haskell's Bank is now the 6 ½ th President of Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas, really...... Michael Lewis????
Wasn't there student bank audits that were requested in 2008-09 that passed with flying colors? If we trust him to run a $20 million dollar operation ? Oh wait, we don't think there was an audit. Was there ? Haskell's student bank remains ripe for a good forensic audit and Mr. Mike Lewis, who barely has any degree (education or A Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood ?) would also be in line for one....right????
Of course, on campus we all know that he is the puppet of the good Drs: did the last two real presidents have the goods to fire him ? Maybe but they probably were not backed by central office ? Were they ? So we have, with the departure of Chris Redman, a return to the pre-Swisher years ? We predict two things: one, that the informal interview ? Off campus, by Dr. Chenault with Gill Vigil, right before graduation will NOT be repeated for any other candidates ? And two, that Dr. Wildcat will not apply because "he doesn't want the headache" (translate that into I can't produce a A Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood, not even an itty bitty one like Mike Lewis ?)
Isn't it a sad day for American Indian students and employees at Haskell when Mike Lewis is deemed the "best" The Bureau of Indian Affairs has to offer an institution with over a 100 year history? Considering his move up through the ranks, we would be surprised if he can spell the word "university" let alone know what it takes to create one???

The Statistics transferred in these tests were all compliant with the COUNTER format. SUSHI is an initiative created by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) that aims to solve the challenge of how librarians can track usage of online content. SUSHI aims to provide a protocol that will enable libraries to retrieve and analyze that information in a standard data container.

For much of the NFL season it looked like two brothers could face off at the Super Bowl. That proved the case, but it was a different set of brothers.
OPINION: Radio host Colin Cowherd tagged it the HarBowl (and was quickly copied by Sports Illustrated), with brothers Jim and John Harbaugh coaching San Francisco and Baltimore respectively in the game this Monday (NZ time). Quarterbacking brothers Peyton and Eli Manning will watch from the stands after Peyton's Denver Broncos were upset in the playoffs and Eli's Giants didn't even make the postseason.
For Jim, the Super Bowl berth is vindication of his much criticised decision mid-season to bench quarterback Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick.
But elder brother John also had to make a tough choice. Following four losses and with a stagnating offence, last month he fired long-time family friend and offensive co-ordinator Cam Cameron, replacing him with his quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell.
The impact was immediate. Since then quarterback Joe Flacco has thrown for eight touchdowns and no interceptions in the three playoff games and now has the most post-season road wins of any quarterback in history.
If the brothers hadn't made these risky calls, neither team would have made the Super Bowl.
But despite their many similarities the brothers come across as very different personalities. John is popular among his peers, while the intense Jim is famous for getting into fights with other coaches, including a hilarious incident with Lions coach Jim Schwartz (check it out on YouTube).
Their two teams put a lie to twin assumptions that have underpinned the league in recent seasons. The perception is that to win the Super Bowl a team needs an elite quarterback. Neither Kaepernick nor Flacco fits in this category. Both would slide into the second tier of quarterbacks.
The second myth is that it is an aerial game nowadays, tailor-made for Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
But the 49ers and Ravens are both throwback teams in many ways. Don't get me wrong, for both Kaepernick and Flacco are great passers, but their teams are built around establishing the running game. That's how football has been played for generations. Much in the way that the success of great rugby teams is largely due to their forwards getting them on the front foot, the best NFL teams look to establish the run before they go for the glory passes (the Patriots being an exception to this rule).
But when they go to their passing games the two attacks are quite different. Both look to find men in space but Baltimore has a vertical attack while San Francisco's is horizontal. That means Baltimore looks for deeper passes down the field while the 49ers' receivers run routes that don't exceed a 20-metre radius, giving Kaepernick's spread offence more options for the short pass.
It will be an unenviable task for the 49ers' receivers because the Ravens linebackers deliver fearful punishment to whoever gets the ball.
So who is going to win? It's a tough call given the 49ers have a quarterback who is little more than a rookie. He's a great athlete but a wildcard, as it's hard to know how he will react to the pressure of the occasion. So far he has looked unflappable.
Flacco has proven to be a terrific playoff quarterback and leads the league in long throws. But the word on him is that he's not great at making reads and can be pressured into mistakes.
While the influence of quarterbacks is often overrated, that of coaches is generally underrated. On that count the 49ers have the advantage. Jim has been the best coach all season. He's aggressive when he needs to be, conservative when it's called for.
So San Francisco by three.

Upregulation of Toll-Like Receptors in Chronic Enteropathies in Dogs
The work was performed at the Small Animal Hospital of the University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland. Part of this work was presented at the 25th ACVIM Congress in Seattle, WA, USA, in June 2007.
Corresponding author: Iwan A. Burgener, med.vet., Dr.med.vet., DACVIM and DECVIM-CA, Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, Division of Small Animal Internal Medicine, Vetsuisse Faculty of the University of Bern, Länggassstrasse 128, 3001 Bern, Switzerland; e-mail: email@example.com.
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is thought to result from a dysregulated interaction between the host immune system and commensal microflora. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), but their role in enteropathies in dogs is unknown.
Hypothesis: That there is a dysregulation of TLRs recognizing bacterial MAMPs in dogs with IBD.
Animals: Sixteen healthy beagles and 12 dogs with steroid-treated (ST) and 23 dogs with food-responsive (FR) diarrhea.
Methods: Prospective, observational study. mRNA expression of canine TLR2, 4, and 9 was evaluated by quantitative real-time RT-PCR in duodenal and colonic biopsies obtained before and after standard therapy. Samples from control dogs were taken at necropsy, with additional biopsies of stomach, jejunum, ileum, and mesenteric lymph node in 6 dogs.
Results: There were significant differences (P≤ .017) in expression of TLR2, 4, and 9 between the 6 sampled locations in healthy control dogs (lymph node > small intestine ≥ colon). Before therapy, ST expressed more mRNA than control dogs for all 3 receptors (P < .05). There were no significant differences between pretreatment and posttreatment values, even though 32/35 dogs improved clinically. No associations were found when comparing receptor mRNA expression with either histology or clinical activity scores.
Conclusions and Clinical Importance: Bacteria-responsive TLR2, 4, and 9 are upregulated in duodenal and colonic mucosa in IBD. This might lead to increased inflammation through interaction with the commensal flora. The absence of significant changes after therapy despite clinical improvement might point toward the existence of a genetic predisposition to IBD as described in human IBD.

Recent reviews
Good 3.8 /5 from 211 reviews
The hotel was conveniently located on the main highway through Joplin. There are a number of could facilities at the hotel including an outdoor pool, The breakfast was excellent and there is ample parking available. The rooms were very large with new flatscreen TVs and fridge.
I was traveling across country for work from Chicago to Arizona, and this Days Inn was a perfect stop. The room was quiet and clean, the staff welcoming, the breakfast good.
This was absolutely the worse stay and experience we have had at a hotel. The hotel was really run down, paint peeling, dirty carpet, the rooms were not clean, bedding was dingy. There was dust throughout the entire room. The neighborhood looked sketchy when we pulled up, but we didn't have another option since this was the halfway point of our 16 hour trip. It was noisy in the hotel and you could hear people running in the hall. The "balcony" that you could walk out on in the room had rusty railings and gross chairs to "sit" on. The beds were absolutely horrible... not comfortable at all! The next morning of our stay we went down to breakfast and the options were like at other hotels and the food was basic, not bad. To top off the trip my husband's wallet was stolen while we were at breakfast. There were some people in the hotel that we wondered if they were staying at the hotel or just passing through for a meal. When my husband realized his wallet was gone one of the front desk people helped him look in the room and even got in the trash with my husband (with gloves on) to see if it had been thrown away. We didn't have any luck finding it, but they kept our name and number in case it showed up. Overall it was the worst stay we have ever had. We will not be coming back. I would not recommend this hotel.
Been Days Inn before, but not like this. This one had high reviews, so decided to stay here. It was great, for the price. They even had sliced almonds and walnuts at bfast.
The hotel was very nice and the front desk staff was truly amazing.

MAPUTO, Mozambique, August 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
PowerVia Africa closes new deals in logistics sector benefiting from economic boom in Mozambique and in the neighbor countries
The recent discovery of large natural gas reserves, the high energy potential due to vast coal and oil reserves and hydroelectric resources has set the pace for an economic boom in Mozambique. The country has successfully attracted investment for large scale projects. Foreign direct investment has been one of the main drivers of growth. Besides the extractive sector, foreign investors and companies have also been positioning in the construction, financial and services sectors.
PowerVia Africa, a heavy lifting logistics operator who started its activity in early 2012, quickly become a reference player in the logistics sector in Mozambique. In 2011, when the company was evaluating the investment potential in the country, two major factors justified the bid: economic fundamentals and the lack of qualified service providers in the logistics sector.
A successful Greenfield entry and a high growth strategy positioned PowerVia Africa as a strong player in a short period of time. The company built strong relationships with blue-chip clients like Vale and Bolloré, Hidroeléctrica Cahora Bassa or Mota Engil, providing services for the largest investment projects in the infrastructure, mining and energy sectors.
"There are critical factors that justify our fast growth in the Mozambican market. Firstly, our positioning as a heavy lifting operator active in two key areas: abnormal transportation and crane rental, providing a bundled service, which is highly valued by clients. Secondly, we built a strong locally based management team, with proven capabilities in the operations, commercial and financial areas. Thirdly, we set operational sites in different provinces of the country. We have now a strong regional presence, with operations in Mozambique´s key areas: Maputo, Nacala, Beira, and also in neighboring countries, such as Malawi" - says Gonçalo Reis PowerVia's CEO.
Beyond the success the company has already achieved, PowerVia Africa still faces exciting growth perspectives, both in Mozambique and the region. It has the potential to tap into neighbor countries and other African markets as a platform company, whose services are highly valued by clients with operations in the continent, which has already been the case in Malawi with Mota-Engil, and in Zimbabwe, where a "door-to-door" project was executed for Efacec, an energy equipment producer. PowerVia Africa has also the potential to play a key role in the important Mozambique's Oil&Gas projects that will require professional and reliable locally established service providers. Industry estimations indicate that for every dollar spent in large, complex investments, 3-5% is spent in logistics, which in the case of the heavy logistics market associated with Oil&Gas projects should represent USD 300-500 million (on the basis of a first phase investment in the region of USD 10 billion).

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course).

DEFINITION of 'Sheep'
An investor who lacks a focused trading strategy and trades on emotion and the suggestions of others, including friends, family and financial gurus. This type of investor often makes rash investments without first determining whether these decisions are financially viable. The behavior of sheep contrasts with that of bulls and bears, who have focused views about the market.
BREAKING DOWN 'Sheep'
Like a sheep, this type of investor is a follower, relying on a shepherd for guidance. These shepherds can come in the form of financial pundits or the latest trend or market story.
Sheep-like investors are often the last to get in on a major market move, such as the tech boom of the late '90s, because they base their investments on what is being talked about the most. Many experts believe that sheep-like investors are the most likely to sustain investment losses because they have no clear investment strategy.
