...The Dean Scream While attending the Alumni Lecture last week was the first that I have heard of both Jeb Bush and Howard Dean. I have been aware of the presidential campaigns in 2004 and many presidential actions taken by former president George W. Bush; but was still unaware of any substantial information from either Governor. After listening to the Alumni Lecture I only gained knowledge of viewpoints from questions that were asked from a small number of Northern Kentucky University students. I asked a classmate about Howard Dean and besides being the former governor of Vermont, what is Howard Dean known for? In response was “the Dean scream.” Howard Dean served as Vermont governor in the years 1991-2003 and then ran for democratic presidential nomination in 2004. Dean is eminent for the enthusiastic yelp or "scream" that he demonstrated at an Iowa speech during his campaign known as the Dean scream. Many believe the negative publicity received after “the Dean scream” that is was the ultimate reason to why Dean’s political campaign had lost, after he failed to win only the support of one state (Vermont) during the primaries (“Howard Dean”). In the beginning Dean was ahead in the polls and a victory look promising. What went wrong? Dean’s presidential campaign soared to exceed fundraising records for a Democratic presidential primary; and his campaign was widely known for its extensive outreached to voters through the internet which was a great key and leading factor...

...20, 2013 Through the Eyes of Dean Winchester: On the Road and On the Hunt In my favorite TV show, Supernatural, one of the protagonists and my favorite character is Dean Winchester, a certainly very round character. The series begins in Lawrence, Kansas with the demonic death of Dean’s mother Mary. Consequently he, his brother Sam, and his father John are thrust into the world of the supernatural. John becomes obsessed with hunting the evil he encounters and ultimately tracking down the demon that killed Mary. As Dean grows, he learns more and more about hunting, weaponry, and the supernatural creatures that haunt this world. Due to circumstance, he is forced to grow up at an early age as he helps his father and fills the maternal role for Sam. Dean is such a standout and memorable character to me because of his never-failing selflessness, fierce protective nature, and emotionally complex mind. Throughout the show, it is easy to see how selfless Dean is. In his mind, family always comes first no matter the consequences or what may happen to him. Growing up moving from place to place with his hunter father and young brother, Dean learns family is all he has. He and his father had a militaristic relationship in that Dean did whatever he was told and never questioned anything or argued. He put aside any dreams or aspirations he may have had to stick with his dad and help him get revenge while also taking care of young Sam. As Dean and Sam begin to go on hunting...

...move with his father and older brother Dean learning to hunt supernatural beings. As Sam grew older he realized he no longer wanted to hunt the supernatural, he then moved on to Stanford University in hopes of becoming a lawyer and living a life away from “monsters”. While in Stanford, Sam meets his girlfriend Jessica, whom he had planned to marry. His plans were ruined when the same demon that killed Sam’s mother killed Jessica. Sam devastated, once again teamed up with his brother Dean, to hunt the demon that plagued his life. Dean Winchester Born on January 24, 1979 to Mary and John Winchester. When Dean was four his mother was killed by a demon known as “Yellow Eyes”. After the death of his mother, Dean’s father searched the world, hunting supernatural creatures, in hopes of finding the demon that killed Mary. While John hunted the supernatural, he believed it was safer to leave both Dean and his younger brother Sam in various motels away from the mysterious creatures. Since the brothers were often left unattended, Dean took the responsibility of protecting and caring for Sam. This feeling of the need to protect Sam from anything and everything has never left Dean. As Sam began to show resentment for the ruined unstable childhood his father had given him, Dean had viewed his father differently. Dean looked up to his father and when he was younger referred to John as “the coolest superhero that kills monsters!” Unlike Sam, Dean continued to hunt, and when Sam returned...

...involves Maluvius University, AADSB (American Association of departments and schools of Biology) and the visiting committee deans. The case presents issues of “Saying things you know are not true”, “Giving or allowing false impressions”, “Buying influence or engaging in conflict of interest”, “Hiding or Divulging information”, “Violating rules”, “Condoning unethical actions”, and “Balancing ethical dilemmas.” The dean of the Biology department at Maluvuis University is trying to get the University’s biology department in one of the top 40 biology departments in the country. It was accredited before and needs not to be accredited once every ten years. The deciding association which does the accreditation is AADSB (American Association of departments and schools of Biology). The process consists of submitting documents by the University and an in-department visit by the panel of Biology deans. The most important deciding factor for accreditation is the ratio of full-time faculty to part-time faculty. The dean of the Maluvius University plays an important role in University matters and therefore would have a great influence over the accreditation of the Biology department. Having the knowledge of the fact that there are more adjuncts teaching than AADSB (American Association of departments and schools of Biology) would like to see at the University, the dean is “hiding or divulging information” i.e. failing to disclose the fact that the ratio of full-time to part-time faculty...

...The University Art Museum Case Analysis Suzana Duran MNGT 372 Professor Quimei Xu I. Relevant Facts/Background The Art Museum is a building on the university premises that is providing a place for the art collection of a university. The building was given to the university by an alumnus around 1929. The wealthy son of the university's first president served as the museum's unpaid director until his death. He brought a few extra collections to the museum during his service, and while serving as unpaid director, none of the collections was ever shown to anybody except a few members of the university's art history faculty. The university practically gave the position to amateur art supporter, Miss Kirkoff, after the director’s death. She used museum for academic purposes for the university alumni only. Miss Kirkoff cataloged the collections and carried out new gifts. The museum was remodeled to include an auditorium, library, and classrooms. The University Art Museum’s director, Miss. Kirkoff resigned after almost 50 years of working there. In September of 1998 new directorship has been passed on. New director used museum as community resource by which he meant that is open to everyone not just to the students at the university. That was the big problem for the students and the faculty at the University Art Museum. Classes and exhibitions lost interest with the students, and the last director was let go after three years of service. II. Problem Definition-Issues The...

...Working with the director of the Swiss film production company for the past eighteen months, she could not help but admit to herself that producing films in fact entailed running around to find and structure the financing, and endless arguments with distribution companies, and constantly making deals that did not stick. Even the glamour of participating in the annual rituals at the Cannes Film Festival somehow did not compensate for all the superficiality that she had discovered the film business entailed. The ringing phone interrupted her reflections. Her first thought was, “I hope it‟s not the Director calling back to change my mind!” The voice of the caller was vaguely familiar, “Katrin, this is Trevor Johnson, surely you do remember – the Dean from BSL (Business School Lausanne), you called me Dr. Johnson?

These conversations should demonstrate a positive attitude, be brief and clear, and acknowl- edge Dr. Forester’s past accomplishments and fu- ture value. 5. Closure and Implementation:- Dr. Marino should have considered the benefits or problems that may evolve from the following possible outcomes: Dr. Forester may resign. – Dr. Forester may circumvent Dr. Marino and petition Dean Markin for support. – Promotion and tenure guidelines may change.The expectations of the leadership, the faculty, and the faculty managers must be clear to all parties so that the sources of conflict will be minimized.
