(December 14, 2006) Lost In Translation? One of the most enlightening contributions from the USM-No Quarter!
Message Board (formerly known as the USM AAUP Message Board, formerly known as FireShelby.com) was the
innovative series of translated documents authored by various USM administrators. Translation was achieved via a
proprietary translation program known as WindTalkers. The authors of the WindTalkers program have generously
agreed to use the newest version of their software to help us read between the lines of a recent memorandum sent by
CoB dean Harold Doty to EFIB chair George Carter. Original text appears in black font, while translations appear in
blue. Other factual/opinion material (added after the WindTalkers translation was completed) appears in red.
(December 19, 2006) CoB 90210 In part 2 of this series we take a look at a new monthly Pine Belt area magazine,
Signature, available at retail outlets (no charge) throughout the Hattiesburg and Oak Grove areas. The magazine (see
logo below) features pictorials of various social gatherings in the greater Hattiesburg Area.
(December 31, 2006) The Apology That Was Not On Saturday, December 23, 2006, Dr. George Carter, Chairman of
EFIB, sent an email to the EFIB Department with copies to the deans and other chairs in the CoB. The email is
addressed to “Dean Doty” and pretends to be an apology. The email accomplishes several things, but acting as an
apology is not one of them. That is a persona problem for Dr. Carter and Dean Doty. What it does do bears further
examination.pictorials of various social gatherings in the greater Hattiesburg Area.
(December 31, 2006) WHY CARTER MUST GO Over the holidays, the editor and contributors have given
considerable thought to this matter and have concluded that CARTER MUST GO? In fact, we have received opinion
pieces from other contributors on this important subject which we will be publishing over the next several weeks.
(January 2, 2007 ) An Island of Tortured Dreams and Shattered Realties "No man is an island unto himself." The
quotation really is: "No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.
