Endometriosis is an interesting disease. Wiley publishes the proceedings of a conference on endometriosis entitled “ENDOMETRIOSIS: EMERGING RESEARCH AND INTERVENTION STRATEGIES” here. The proceedings cover a breadth and depth of topics that were all very interesting. Here are the things that really jumped out at me: Endometrium are likely to be present outside the uterus [...]
Last semester (Fall 2011) I taught “ENTERPRISE DATA MODELING” at Carroll University. Carroll is a great school and teaching the class was a lot of fun. A mentor of mine shared that “A teacher’s job is to create an environment in which learning is likely to occur.”. Thank you for sharing that.

During my Fall 2011 semester I took one class, Applied Linear Algebra. It was a total blast. You just can’t believe some of the wild stuff that you can do with matrices. It was a lot of fun and the hardest that I’ve ever worked, and my grade reflected that.
