I hope you are enjoying Veterans Day, and the freedom we have in our country! I’m proud – and grateful – to be among the 16.2 million living veterans in the United States, and I am thankful for those incredible people who served before, during and after my time in service. In his Proclamation, the President Biden said: This Veterans Day, we honor the generations of women and men who have served and sacrificed — not for a person, a place, or a President — but for an idea unlike any other: the idea of the United States of America. For nearly 250 years, our veterans have defended the values that make us strong so that our Nation could stand as a citadel of liberty, a beacon of freedom, and a wellspring of possibilities. (Just as a quick reminder, Veterans Day is intended to honor all veterans while Memorial Day is intended to commemorate those who have died in the service).  Sadly, however, it is hard to escape the grim news: the media reports that the “US is mounting a frantic effort to head off a wider Middle East war” while at the same time experts are also telling us

Get good. Earn your salary with skill, not PR lol. Pathetic,” he wrote to Third Hemisphere founder and managing director Hannah Moreno, according to The Australian Financial Review who first reported the story.Joel deleted the bulk of his comments on Sunday, before stepping down from his role on Tuesday afternoon.

Justin Poley. Image retrieved from LinkedIn. On Tuesday, Nov. 7, The Racquet Press sat down with Third-year Student Justin Poley to inquire about his position as the district five supervisor for the La Crosse County Board.  Poley is a political science major with a double minor in legal studies and public administration. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Poley said that he is in a unique position to represent UWL students on the La Crosse County Board. Poley said his new position as the district five supervisor is a great opportunity to put his public administration skills to work in a practical setting. “I didn’t know if anyone else was going to be applying for it and I wanted to make sure there was a student voice in that group of people. It’s 30 people, so to have just one student, it’s really important to have that student seat filled,” said Poley.  As a supervisor on the La Crosse County Board, Poley attends three meetings over the course of two weeks each month. These meetings include the Veteran’s Aging and Long Term Care Committee meeting, a planning meeting, and the county board meeting.  On running for office and

Muhammad Mohsin Butt A business school in Pakistan has fired a marketing professor after finding he had “damaged the repute” of the university and its scholarly journal, Retraction Watch has learned.  In a LinkedIn post, Muhammad Mohsin Butt, the now-fired professor, shared a picture of the table of contents of a 2015 issue of Business Review, published by the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), in Karachi. The contents listed seven case studies authored by two other professors at the school:  The two authors are still employed at IBA: Nasir Afghan as an assistant professor of marketing, and Mohammad Asad Ilyas as registrar.  The journal issue “once existed but was taken back immediately after its release internally,” the school’s inquiry found, although the articles’ authors and a former editor of the journal deny this action constituted retraction.  Hilal Butt (no relation to Mohsin Butt), chair of IBA’s finance department and the editor of IBA Business Review at the time of the LinkedIn post, replied with a link to the online table of contents for the issue. The webpage showed different article titles and authors, and Hilal Butt wrote that “there is nothing published anything as reported.”  Afghan, Ilyas, and Hilal Butt
