LIS Education, Advocacy, and the Future of Librarianship
15/04/2011 § 13 Comments
Note: I posted this a bit ago on my blog, but since it has a lot to do with how we approach LIS education as students and new professionals, I wanted to post it here too!
A lot of discussion has been circulating about the future of librarianship in response to comments made by Jeffrey Trzeciak (of McMaster University) indicating that he wouldn't hire any more librarians, preferring instead to give certain positions to people in IT or with PhDs. I agree that in many instances you might want to consider candidates from a variety of backgrounds, but to discount librarians (especially coming from the University Librarian himself!) is an indication of how deeply our field is misunderstood. I first read about it through Jenica Rogers' post, which I think provides a great intro to the subject and some awesome perspective on why we need advocacy as professionals (not just as a profession or as institutions.) My fellow Hack Library School editors, along with Courtney Walters and a few others, began discussing the topic via Twitter (I was at work, so didn't get to jump in until after the fact!) If you're interested in seeing the discussion, look for #savelibrarians. In addition, some blog posts have started going up to discuss our future as professionals–a great post in particular is Courtney Walter's discussion of our identity crisis as librarians/info pros.
There's also a Google Doc where a group of folks are hashing out ideas, both by writing out our experiences and thoughts and by having really fascinating discussions in the comments. What I love is that it's turned into a place where we talk about what our roles are and the future of our field, rather than a place where anyone makes personal attacks on Trzeciak or spews venom about the topic. There are two things that have stood out for me in these discussions. First, that advocacy is absolutely vital. We have discussions all the time about advocacy for our libraries, both to make our users aware of all we offer so they see our value and advocate for us, and so that lawmakers, etc. see our value and continue to provide support. This is incredibly valuable, but it's equally important that users, administrators, and lawmakers see the importance of librarians too (for an example of this, see political debates in Iowa and elsewhere about the value of school librarians.) The term is a misunderstood one (I can attest from the range of comments I get when I talk about what I do, ranging from 'Good for you, I don't like books enough to do that' or 'you don't look like a librarian') but also very broad. Our big challenge in the coming years is to help people understand all the things we do and are capable of doing, but most of all making people aware of the passion librarians bring to the workplace that encourages us to try new things and go the extra mile to help users.
Another thing I noticed here, as well as at conferences and such, is the rather strong division between theory and practice. I feel like a lot of conferences (and yes, I include ALA in this) tend to divide programming to mostly focus on practical advice, with a few sessions on research/theory, but very little (which is frustrating for someone like me, who's a researcher!) I wrote a blurb about it on the Google doc, but I think it's worth putting down here because the idea that theory and practice work together is one that is fundamental to my perspective on the field. I was writing in response to a comment from Jenica Rogers that she wished Trzeciak and others would stop condemning LIS education and librarians in the same fell swoop (I argue that we shouldn't condemn either, but I digress.) Here's what I wrote:
One thing programs do well is provide a theoretical foundation, while internships provide practical experience. Since publishing and other professional activities are required (or strongly encouraged) in many positions, this ability to understand and criticize theory, as well as the ability to add your own thoughts and findings to the body of LIS literature, is very important. By condemning LIS programs for 'not preparing us' sufficiently, the only thing we are doing is overlooking the fact that theory and practice are not separate, and that both should be used to inform each other. It also assumes that the student has no agency, and is simply there to be filled with knowledge, get a piece of paper, and leave. Most LIS students I know want more out of their programs, and many are willing to seek out opportunities to help provide the desired experience. It's one thing I worry about as I go into my PhD (and hopefully a faculty position some time in the future!) because I want to approach education as something where theory and practice meet, and where my primary goal as an educator is to provide theoretical grounding and exposure to creating and critiquing research (whereas the goal of the internship coordinator, advisor, student, etc. is to find practical opportunities to gain experience in one or more areas of the field.) It's the job of the student (and to some extent the faculty as well) to consider how and where these two things meet, and to understand how to take the learning from courses and apply it to the field.
In talking with my lovely friend Angela Murillo, I started thinking of ways I wanted to bring these together in the classroom. I felt inspired by a discussion I had with Jim Elmborg and my fellow B Sides editors, where we talked about different types of research and how they could apply inside and outside of the classroom. So, one thing I'm thinking is to give students one paper that is written based on a theory or method they value (the approach: here is my method or theory, now what research problem can I find to apply it to?) I would then assign students another paper that's problem-based, where students have a research problem and then have to find a way to reach a conclusion/solution (Dr. Elmborg calls this 'practitioner-based' research, which is a term I really like!) My thinking is that many students will be encouraged or required to publish or present their work in scholarly publications, and even those who aren't will still encounter issues or find ways to improve their library that would be valuable to share with others via field publications. My hope is that, rather than condemning LIS education, people will see the value in it as a place that provides practical skills but also shows the importance for everyone to add their voice to LIS literature and to share what they've learned.
I would be interested to hear how LIS educators, students, and professionals approach this topic: do you feel that theory and practice must be separate, or are there ways we can work to close that divide? What have your experiences been with advocating for your skills as a professional, and where do you see that going?
§ 13 Responses to LIS Education, Advocacy, and the Future of Librarianship
I am a LIS student, but I entered the field after starting a PhD program in Anthropology and deciding that route was not for me. So, in thinking about the connection between theory and practice, my mind jumps back to anthropology. There, I was strongly indoctrinated in the need to connect theory and practice — you're not really advancing the field if you're just going through the motions without understanding the theory behind what you're doing and contributing to theoretical discussions.
In libraries and information agencies, theory should inform practice and vice versa, not be kept separate. For example, theoretical and ethical considerations should inform the development and maintenance of collection development policies — we're not just buying the stuff we think is cool or that we agree with! On the flip side, I've read several articles in library literature that had no overt theoretical argument; they simply gave a narrative account of implementing some new technological solution or other change in one library setting… Then we turned around and discussed that in relation to the theoretical issues from other readings for class that week, shaping our understanding of the theory.
I think your idea for the two different types of papers to assign in your class is an excellent idea. I can't say I've had that sort of paper in my LIS program, but I've done those sorts of exercises in anthropology classes — and I learned a lot through those papers!
[...] post is a response to posts by Courtney Walters and Julia Skinner, which were posts in response to Jenica Rogers and Michael Furlough, which were responses to a talk [...]
I think theory and practice divide is something that all of library science struggles with, not just LIS programs.
I definitely think it's important to bridge that divide in our programs and out in the trenches. One great way of explaining theory that I heard through an ACRL conference session (Instruction Deconstruction) is that theory is the how and why, and practice is the what. It's hard to advocate and assess what we're doing without a how and a why.

Seems like every one or two months some blogger comes out with a "librarians are obsolete" or "make librarianship a para-professional job" argument. Sadly, it seems to be librarians saying this which makes me wonder just how much effort they put into their jobs to believe that just anyone can do it.
To an extent, I agree that anyone can do our job. Just as anyone could successfully defend themselves in a court of law, mediate an argument between spouses, or conduct research on the effectiveness of a termite repellent (my Uncle's an entomologist at Sierra Research Laboratories in Modesto, http://sierraresearchlaboratories.com/Home_Page.html). A degree didn't magically convey upon me the ability to conduct reference interviews, organize materials, or research and synthesize data for a customer. It didn't give me the enthusiasm, and interest in information description, organization, and literacy either. It's a piece of paper that's supposed to show people you can be trusted to do your job well and that you should be taken seriously as an expert in what you've chosen to do. Just like my uncle's doctorate (granted, his job is a lot more specific and as a PhD he's more of an expert than someone with a master's would be, but i digress).
At SJSU the LIS program offered classes in a range of subjects having to do with information studies and even had suggested academic paths depending on what you'd like to specialize in. If you graduate and aren't satisfied with the skill set you developed, it's no one's fault but your own. I selected classes that would teach me things that would apply to several different libraries as well as other jobs information professionals perform. I researched which teachers would be more likely to challenge me and show real-world application of the knowledge I gained. I'm confident that I can bring something to the table for any employer I work for, whether it's a library or non-library setting.
I appreciated the link to the Google Doc you all have going for this issue. I'm set at odds because on one hand, I see exactly where Trzeciak is coming from, and I agree with his decisions/opinions; on the other, I wonder if extremism won't just make everything worse.
What I don't feel is true is that this issue is something that can be resolved through the existing models of the profession. In many ways, my MLIS studies are nothing more than a vo-tech education, and so yes, I feel that "paralibrarian" should be a valid career track, next to "librarian" as higher-level designation. Most professions have similar delineations (paralegal & lawyer, nurse & doctor, etc.) so I do not understand where the fierce objection to that concept is, other than defensiveness on the part of librarians who feel that doing so would undervalue their skill set.
Maybe it would; but things need to change, and as Trzeciak's opinions make clear, they are currently changing with or without us. Trzeciak sees MLIS schools pumping out paralibrarians, and I agree with him; he sees no value in that, but I do. What needs to happen is not to say, "well the MLIS is a worthless degree" but to ask, "what, then, makes a full-fledged librarian?"
Well then, get out of the arm chair and step up to the plate. What skills do you think librarians should leave school possessing?
FYI, nurses aren't para-professional doctors. Nursing is a separate field with several different educational steps. http://noedb.org/library/features/nurse-vs-doctor-the-major-differences
Yes, that's why I said "similar" delineations; my best friend is a nurse, so I'm very familiar with the differences and the incredibly rigorous training nurses must go through.
But I feel your comment is reflective of why this discussion falls apart; because of the entrenched idea that a "para" anything is, simply, a lesser version of a "full" professional and that calling any type of occupation a "para" job makes people launch on the defense. Knowing nurses and working with paralegals, I can say with confidence that perception is NOT true. Rather, it is about a difference in focus concerning the same subject (medicine, or law, or information science).
True, paralegals don't go to law school and nurses don't go to medical school for a respective doctorate, and therein lies the reason behind the idea that they aren't as educated as the full professional lawyer or MD. And, honestly, they aren't; but they ARE educated, and they ARE professionals. In fact I don't know a single nurse (or EMT, for that matter) who would be insulted by being called a paraMD (while I *do* know MDs who would object to that!).
Being "para" is being support staff, plain and simple, and that is a CRITICAL component of any professional field and hardly reason for anyone to get defensive. Law firms would utterly fall apart without paralegals and people would die in hospitals with out nurses. But so many librarians are jittery about being labeled "para" that no one really wants to discuss this kind of delineation as a viable alternative. Instead, we get Trzeciak telling us the whole degree is obsolete.
I am, in fact, working on a paper that discusses what a librarian and a paralibrarian education should look like; it's hardly ready for mass consumption, though. Short version? A librarian has a PhD, period. Lawyers do; MDs do; full professors in any field do; etc. Getting an MLIS should be a stepping stone to that. Paralibrarians should track completely differently, just as nurses do. Or, at least, there should be a very concrete difference between a Masters of Science and Masters of Art, which at least at FSU doesn't really exist.
If the master's degree program in ALA certified graduate programs is lacking, what specifically would you change in LIS education? Would you want something more akin to the Washington State University's information school? Do you think LIS education should include more IT classes? Is there a specific aspect of librarianship that you feel shouldn't be taught in a graduate program?

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Meet the competition
When asked why he wasn't covering more of the business of local government, one blogger said, "You'd have to PAY someone to do that!"
I don't agree that local government is boring. City council meetings are some of the best theater in town, if a little slow-motion. If you could edit the tapes, it would be Parks and Rec--without the sex of course.
Could you be the mayor?
While eating one of Cranky Al's sinful cinnamon rolls this morning, I noticed former alder and state
assemblyman senator Jim Sullivan at the next table. Really, I tried not to eavesdrop on his animated political talk with a friend. But tonight's pending discussion of mayoral compensation by the Committee on Employee Relations was on my mind.
So I interrupted, introducing myself (I've met Sullivan before, but women my age are largely invisible and people have trouble remembering us. Which makes it easy to eavesdrop, but I digress). I asked Sullivan what he thought about the salary question.
Should the council raise the mayoral salary for the next term of office? Right now, the mayor gets $22,500 a year, the same salary the mayor got in 1984. Then, it was a decent salary, equivalent to $50,000. Today, well, it's $22,000.
The arguments for the raise are that it's long overdue, the mayor and most of her predecessors have worked a lot more than half time, the salary limits the kind of people who can or will run for office, and it's kind of embarrassing to pay so little.
On the con side, it's a part-time job, we get good mayors for the price, the economy sucks, the budget hasn't got room for more expenditures, and we have a well-paid professional staff to do the administrative work anyway.
Sullivan gave a thorough and well-thought answer that included many of the points above. "This topic keeps coming up. But no one really wants to deal with it," he said. "There will be a motion but no second. It won't go anywhere."
Which is exactly what happened following statements by other alders, key personnel, and a few of us citizens. Two of the five committee members were gone, and the subject will come up again in two weeks. You can let your alders know where you stand or show up to tell them in person then.
There are good arguments on both sides. But I disagree with one point made by nearly all of those who were opposed and claimed "I can't tell my unemployed constituents that we are giving the mayor a raise."
Why not, if it's what you think is right and fair? How do your unemployed constituents benefit from jobs that pay very little and ask very much? How do we as a group benefit from the constant driving down of ordinary wages, or the lack of getting raises that reflect an increasing cost of living as well as our increased workloads? We are all in this together, and we rise or sink together. Unless you are an exceedingly wealth person, in which case you have your very own lifeboat and don't need to worry about the rest of us.
My friend Tom Gaertner thinks the salary should not be raised, that it's a part-time job, and we nearly always get more than we pay for. He'd run, he said, if he were retired.
To run for mayor of Tosa, you really need to be retired. Or to have an understanding spouse or partner with a family supporting job. A student might be able to do the job.
But not someone like me, a single mom with a demanding job. Maybe not someone like you, either
The job is, as Tom says, what it is. But is it what it could be? Maybe, just maybe, someone from a larger set of people would bring new possiblities -- a broader viewpoint, a different set of ideas.
Which just might be the real reason we don't want to go there.
When dads were grown-ups
When I think of my dad, I see him lying on the white shag carpeting in the living room, asleep in a plane of hot sunlight. Outside, he burned, but indirect light delighted him. His back was broad, pink and freckled, hairless. Sometimes my sister and I would quietly set his hair, which was longish, in pinker foam rollers, as he dozed.
He was a quiet man of the Silent Generation. That's what they were called before Tom Brokaw rebranded them the Greatest Generation. I think he'd have been uncomfortable with the label "greatest." Modesty was more the order of the day for folks who weren't on the Mad Men master-of-the-universe or the harsh-and-brutal-life track. And that was most people we knew.

School safety is priceless
At a recent meeting of the South Fayette Board of School Directors, the board unanimously voted on an agreement with a visitor management software provider to beef up security measures in the district's schools as well as pupil personnel and administrative offices.
Once the system is in place, anyone entering any building on campus will have to show a valid driver's license or state-issued ID, which will be scanned in and a visitor's pass will be issued. The system also scans for a criminal record or other potential red flags, including protection from abuse orders. While the district did not have money for such a system in its budget this year, it was such a high priority that the $9,010 start up cost is being taken from the general fund.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, as well as other recent mass shootings, South Fayette is right to place a system like this high on its priority list. We don't think there should be a price tag on the safety of students and teachers.
Other area districts have looked into additional security measures. Canon-McMillan Superintendent Michael Daniels was among a group of school administrators who was part of a meeting to discuss improving school safety across the country. While Daniels agrees that buildings must be as secure as possible, he cited budget as the reason for eliminating the possibility of an armed officer in the district's schools.
Bethel Park has updated its security procedures, including a policy that requires visitors to be buzzed in through a designated entry door and presenting photo identification before entry is permitted.
Mt. Lebanon has increased the frequency of random unannounced police officer walk throughs in its buildings, and other area districts are reviewing policies. The bottom line, again, is that school security and safety decisions should not be made based on budget. We encourage all districts to find room in their budgets and do whatever they can to make every school as safe and secure as possible. If only one child's life is saved as a result, if only one incident is prevented as a result, then in our opinion, that is enough.
School safety is priceless

The bulletin of Atlanta University
|1 of 4
This page
Loading content ...
Number 191 Atlanta, Georgia May, 1909 An Appeal I have just returned from a short trip in southern Georgia where I have visited two of the schools presided over by our graduates and had the privilege of meeting many of the colored people. It would be difficult to describe the love of these people for Atlanta University and the encouragement they seem to receive through its very existence. They are proud of the work the graduates are doing in their communities. They look to this school as to a great strong friend with unlimited power to help and to bless. They intend that the ablest and most worthy of their children shall some day be students here. It is this sentiment of the people which perhaps more than anything else marks the great opportunity of Atlanta University. We are now approaching the close of the fortieth school year. Unless we receive $10,000 by the end of June we shall be facing a deficit. Can we afford to maintain this work with its ever increasing enrollment at its present high grade of efficiency? Can we afford when the people look to us for help and set their hearts upon giving their children the opportunities of this place, to curtail the work in order to save money? Perhaps if this were only a business proposition we could readily say, curtail it at any cost; but it is more than a business proposition. It is a humanitarian proposition with a large element of wholesome sentiment which cannot be discounted, and to fail where the people expect great things of us would be disastrous. Our friends prophesied that this year would be as difficult as last year in the matter of securing funds, and we have found this prophecy to be true. Will not our friends rally to the support of the work? We must have additional teaching force to care for the large numbers which the next year promises. As this Bulletin goes to press Commencement week is upon us. We have had a larger enrollment than ever before, yet by the strictest economy we have kept the expenses down. If it were not for the extra but unavoidable expense of street improvements our total disbursements to date would be less than those of last year, notwithstanding the increased number of students. May we not look to our friends for some special effort on our behalf in consideration of these things? Edward T. Wake. Programme for Commencement Week Friday, May 21. 9:00 to 11:00 A. M. Public day at the Oglethorpe School. 8:00 P. M. Anniversary of the Phi Kappa Society. Sunday, May 23. 11:00 A. M. Baccalaureate Sermon, by Rev. George L. Paine, of Dorchester, Mass.

Annual Meeting of Trustees. 7:30 P. M. Alumni Meeting, followed by Banquet at 9:30. Thursday, May 27. 10:00 A.M. Commencement Exercises. Commencement Address by Rev. Edgar J. Penney of Muskogee, Okla. 8:00 P. M. President's Reception. The Fourth Annual Concert of Atlanta University On the evening of Friday, the last day of April, the Music Department of Atlanta University rendered Gaul's sacred cantata, "Ruth," with a chorus of 150 voices and solos. As it happened, a more forbidding night could not have been chosen. It rained as though all the April showers were combined in one which poured down with fierce accompaniment of lightning and thunder. Notwithstanding the weather there was a good audience. The numbers present from the city spoke well for the interest of our friends. The programme was received with hearty applause, and all felt well repaid for coming out in so bad a night. There are many people in Atlanta who appreciate really good music but who have little opportunity to hear it except as it is rendered by the schools for the colored people. For several years past Atlanta University has through the spring concert afforded an opportunity to hear good music. In 1906 Stainer's "The Daughter of Jairus" was rendered; in 1907 Gaul's "The Holy City;" and in 1908 Gounod's Mass, "St. Cecilia." Anti-tuberculosis Campaign A vigorous campaign was waged against tuberculosis for several days toward the close of April. The exhibit of the National Anti-Tuberculosis Society was set up in the Central Congregational Church and stereopticon lectures were delivered repeatedly throughout the day and evening. Director E. G. Routzahn and Mr. A. C. Hunt were in constant attendance to explain and instruct. In all their work they were assisted by the Atlanta Anti-Tuberculosis Association. An effort was made to enlist the people of all races. Ministers were invited to preach on the subject Sunday morning, April 18, and lecturers visited the schools. The exhibit was open to Negroes the last two days and the different schools invited to attend at stated hours. Ex-Governor Northen and Director Routzahn visited us and addressed the whole student body by way of introducing the campaign. Sunday, April 18, Dr. Loring B. Palmer, a graduate of Atlanta University and practising physician in the city, gave a most interesting and stirring address to our students, and on the following Thursday the boarding department of the school visited the exhibit in a body. In this way there has been launched a determined battle against the disease which finds so many sad victims among the Negroes.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Something better than happy in the new year
I don't know anybody who isn't glad to see the door shut behind 2009. Or who isn't, with cautious hope or a lot of it, praying for all that to be over so we can get back to where we were before we were forced out of the garden of innocence and prosperity.
Or was it ignorance and illusion? Maybe some of both.
It's not that I don't want you (and me) to be happy this year. But if happiness means returning to business as usual, then I'll have to say no thanks.
What prescience Paul Simon had when he wrote the lyrics to American Tune in the mid 1970s:
And I don`t know a soul who`s not been battered
I don`t have a friend who feels at ease
I don`t know a dream that`s not been shattered
or driven to its knees
But it`s all right, it`s all right
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
we`re traveling on
I wonder what went wrong
I can`t help it, I wonder what went wrong
Sometimes, we try to get out of the painful place so fast we don't have time to figure out what went wrong. That usually means we keep traveling on the same road that got us there.
If you tried to have a conversation with my grandmother about happiness, she'd have thought you were daft. Happiness wasn't any sort of goal. Godliness, cleanliness, duty: those were what life was about. Happiness was just a condition that happened along, more or less often depending on the temperament God and your genes blessed you with. Or on whether you belonged to one of the serious cultures or one of the more joyful ones.
I come from the stock Garrison Keillor calls "Dark Norwegian." The kind of people who eat lutefisk on purpose. Who first set foot in South Dakota in winter and thought it was a nice place to stay. The kind of people for whom "well, that's not too bad," is as close to a declaration of glee as you can get.
Of course, living in the decades of unusual prosperity with the other indulged Baby Boomers has softened me. I'm as preoccupied with personal ease and comfort as the next person.
But it seems we've entered a time of regrouping and deliberate change. The joy and happiness in doing that is considerable. It's just not the kind of happiness we usually think of when we say "Happy New Year."
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age`s most uncertain hour
and sing an American tune
But it`s all right, it`s all right
You can`t be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow`s going to be another working day
And I`m trying to get some rest
That`s all I`m trying to get some rest
Tomorrow's another working day. May you be blessed with some rest, clear vision, and resolve for whatever good work you can do in making America live up to its greatest promise.
Which is, I'm pretty sure, something deeper, richer (in the spiritual sense), and better than a nation of people with granite countertops and jobs with benefits, and people. . . without them. We seem to have slipped, those of us on both sides of the equation.
It's not uncomplicated. . .
"There's a surprising fondness for the double negative in It's Complicated, starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Consider it a grammatical hint that things will get a bit messy," said the Denver Post's Lisa Kennedy.
I mention that because I've been getting a lot of heat for grammatical quirks, including my love of the double negative. Which isn't about anything if it's not about the notion that life is complicated.
Of course I loved It's Complicated. It's a shrewdly targeted bit of whimsy by and for women my age. As critic Michael O'Sullivan pointed out, "Women of a certain age are going to love that. They won't know which is sexier: that Jane is lusted over by two handsome suitors or that she's finally getting her dream kitchen."
The story: Jane is a wildly successful yet impossibly charming and down-to-earth baker of posh pastry for the residents of Santa Barbara (who, being professionally thin, must buy it as kitchen props, not food). Her three children are in the last stages of nest leaving. She's been divorced for 10 years from wildly successful yet charming, earthy if not down-to-earth lawyer Jake (Baldwin). He left her for Angess (Lake Bell) of the tight abdomen who is Much Younger, Hotter, and More Challenging. And with absolutely no observable other good qualities at all. Which is really quite satisfying for those of us whose character is better than our bodies.
Still, some male critics say "get real" when Jake finds himself irresistibly drawn back to Jane. But we know why. Who wouldn't love Streep and her astonishing, wonderful food? Certainly Steve Martin, who plays a nice guy so quiet and self-contained that I can't remember his character's name, does.
You know the screwball comedy routine. Jake, the scalliwag, pursues Jane the way he probably did when they were 23 and in Paris. Aside from being much more sexually generous and fulfilling than Angess, which of course is totally true about older women (in this case, same-age women), Jane has the perfect house even though she feels the need to make it more perfect (that's where Martin's character, the architect, comes in).
And it's quiet. No demanding wife and horribly behaved child named Pedro around.
(Apparently Agness, whose biological clock is still ticking, cuckolded Jake five years earlier, so now she gets to yell "YO!" at Jake and order him to put the adorable yet unpleasant offspring of that affair to bed while she works on her laptop. This part doesn't make any sense except as part of the long and never successful Karmic process of beating some awareness into Jake. And to set the stage for another laptop scene. But you'll have to see the movie for that.)
Anyway, the question is what does Jane want, besides a kitchen that is beyond imagining fabulous, witty loyal friends to drink chardonnay with, the love of her successful and pretty if tremulous children, and the joy of making scads of money baking beautiful food for rich people?
Food for the winter soul
The first snow shoveling yesterday was a delight. The snow was light and swiftly dispensed with. But the second one, starting around 11:30, was a different matter.
The snow was wetter, heavier and blowing sleetily. Snowglobe lovely, but hard on these old bones. The plows were resting or elsewhere, and only my shovel and the sudden deer were making tracks.
Good eats at the Cosmos Cafe
Tonight, son George and I decided to go out to celebrate his acceptance at the UW-Madison Business School. Feeling both carnivorous and thrifty, we headed to the Cosmos Cafe at 72nd and North Avenue. Geo had already eaten there and declared it the only place he'd bother to go to for gyros anymore.
And I'd been wanting to try it, having watched the ongoing renovation and being a big fan of Greek food. Helen Tselentis, whose family owns the place, was a student of mine once upon a time. And I knew from the wonderful fish fry at Sts. Constantine and Helen not far away that Helen's hubby was one heck of a cook.
Driving west on Watertown Plank Road, I stopped at the red light at Highway 100. Behind me an impatient driver talked on his cell phone, tapping the steering wheel faster than any song I'd care to listen to. A speedy kind of guy.
From the corner of his eye, he must have noticed a flash of green and instantly laid on the horn, again and again, urging me to go, and slamming his fist against the dashboard in that damnwomandriver sort of way.
Of course, the flash of green was the left turn arrow. Those of us going straight had to wait for our green light. I bet it wasn't even 20 seconds.
I can't imagine why anyone would be in such a hurry to get to Brookfield. Or why you'd want to make yourself irritated with drivers who aren't doing anything wrong. There are so many who are, if you need your blood boiled.
I'll know the recession is over when. . .
". . . I get a job."
". . . I stop putting up with two malfunctioning keys on my piano and finally call in the tuner."
How to make people crazier
I had entered through the front door not but thirty minutes earlier. Preparing to exit I was certain I had returned to the same place. There was the same gas fireplace, the same television and the same bookcases. There were mostly the same residents sitting there too.
I could see the great outdoors through the windows.
Pausing for a second or two I'm thinking - where the heck did the door go?
I can't get this out of my mind: blogger Tom Gaertner's experience with his father's new assisted living environment. The older gentleman had moved because it was no longer safe for him to live alone. He'd taken up "exit seeking behavior," also called "elopement" or wandering, which gets you in trouble in northern winters, especially if you live on a highway.
An aide piped-up – Son; it's directly in front of you. Painted to match the bookcases. See it?
Aha! A secret passage through the bookcase. I get it.
But I don't.
Imagine yourself confused and frightened, compelled by something you don't understand to keep moving, to get away. Then you find yourself in a room that defies the rules of the universe, or at least architecture, as you have known them throughout your entire conscious life
A room with no exit. Jean Sartre, the famous French existentialist, wrote a play about that. No Exit from a room with no doors -- and no windows, no mirrors, and lights that are never turned off -- was hell, and the people who occupied the space each other's unwitting tormentors.
No one knows why some people with dementia wander. The responses range from medication to using trompe l'oeil, or fool-the-eye artistic deception, to hide the exits. According to one respected medical journal, "visual agnosia, the inability to interpret what the eye sees, may be utilized as a tool in managing wandering behavior of Alzheimer's patients."
Something about that's not right. I asked a friend, Steph Kilen, about the practice. She works with Action Pact, a Washington Heights-based business that creates culture change in institutions that house and care for older people. The idea is to create real homes.
Steph said:
There are so many things about the institutional model that make people crazier. So many things are so unfamiliar/unnatural and un-normal that a lot of the natural cues are missing and it is harder for people to figure out what to do. Hiding things from people (even, having the kitchen "hidden") is really confusing. How can you settle down and want to stay anywhere (in a long-term sense, but also in regards to dementia-type "wandering") when a place doesn't seem like any place that you have ever lived?
You don't have to have to move into a secure facility to feel the anxiety of being in an institutional model room with no exit. People far smarter than I have wondered whether Afghanistan is a dilemma with no exit. Or whether there's any exit from saving financial giants that are too big to fail, and grow larger as we feed them.
I don't know the answers. But I do know that if you keep telling people the reality of their experience isn't true, if you keep replacing doors and windows with pictures of them, they aren't going to feel any better about being there.
Save the County AND live happily ever after
Eliminate Milwaukee County government to save money and reduce taxes? The Pubic Policy Forum's proposal to do just that will be greeted with jeers on one hand and applause on the other.
As a more moderate sort, I fall closer to the "not so fast" end of the spectrum. But that doesn't mean the "do nothing different" end of the spectrum.
I, Karl Rove--a deep secret revealed!
I don't tell many people this, but I was once a Goldwater Girl, and I belonged to Young Americans for Freedom. Which was, or is, a sort of proto-neo-conservative training ground for eager young folks who then considered themselves to be Republican. This was back when Republican wasn't a bad word, and conservative was just an adjective to describe their philosophy.
I did this mainly to meet boys, especially smart boys. What I learned there I have not had cause to reconsider much: in politics, ruthless trumps smart most every time. This applies to both parties.

Skip to comments.'Apostate' Girl's Father: The Unreported Story
Posted on 08/26/2009 9:57:33 PM PDT by TonyRo76
Rifqa Bary, the Ohio girl who converted from Islam to Christianity and fled from her family in fear for her life, prevailed. She will not be sent back to her father who threatened her life. But she got no help from the mainstream media. Either they didn't report her story or when they did, they printed half-truths and deceptions to whitewash Islam. The media demonized Christianity ("brainwashed by a cult") while inaccurately reporting the facts in order to avoid reporting about the violent ideology of Islam. They have become almost as depraved as the murderers they cover for. And in doing so, the mainstream media has missed quite a lot that is crucial to Rifqa's story.
Rifqa's parents, Mohamad and Aysha Bary, signed affidavits declaring themselvesindigent. That's why the Florida court appointed a lawyer for the father and a lawyer for the mother. Both their lawyers are being paid by the taxpayers of Florida. Worse still, Aysha and Mohamed Bary's lawyer asked the court for more money at Rifqa's custody hearing last Friday, so that they could wage a campaign to get Rifqa back home -- a campaign involving depositions, legal docs, filings etc.
Yet in a Dunn and Bradstreet report filed by Mohammad Bary himself for his business, Bary Gems, he states his business does $237,561 per annum. The wife, Aysha Bary, makes high-end bridal gowns (that income may be off the books, but she works every day). It would appear that she works for Custom Bridal Veil -- a company owned by a Risana Bary, who works with Mohamad Bary at Bary Gems.
Bary Gems offers some high ticket items. You can get a genuine blue sapphire for a mere $2,900. And if Mohamad Bary filed for dissolution of his businesson July 3rd and it became final on the 29th, where are the proceeds? Where is the inventory? They owned a gem import business. If they liquidated, they must have had some inventory or orders or cash on hand.
The Barys live in a very affluent neighborhood in Westerville, Ohio, in a house they rent. They rent because pious Muslims aren't supposed to take on mortgages -- that would be usury, and is forbidden in the Koran.
Things began to disintegrate at home fairly rapidly once the parents were aware that Rifqa had converted to Christianity (watch her here). Her parents threatened her, but she never left Christianity. In mid-July her mother went through Rifqa's private things and found her journal. It was then revealed to her mother that Rifqa was a practicing Christian. Aysha called Mohamad and alerted him that Rifqa was still practicing Christianity in secret. Mohamed cut his business trip short in order to return home immediately while Aysha packed the family's bags to go back to Sri Lanka. Whether Rifqa would have been honor murdered before or after they returned to Sri Lanka is known only to the Barys.
It was very clear that Rifqa Bary's father was planning on fleeing the country with his threatened daughter. According to very recent documentation, Muhammad Bary dissolved his business on July 29,2009 -- after Rifqa ran for her life (fearing an honor killing for her apostasy) and was discovered in Florida.
Remember, this was not an insignificant business, with annual sales of $237,561. That's a lot to give up. So why did Mohamad Bary dissolve his business so suddenly? He obviously did not expect Rifqa to prevail in Florida court. Like all the pundits, he expected that Rifqa would have to go back to Ohio. Mohamad and Aysha signed papers in Ohio with Franklin County Children Services, saying they would be happy if she were brought back to the state and placed in a foster home for at least 30 days. They just wanted to get her back in Ohio and out of Florida and Floridian interference.
Thirty days in foster care in Ohio (and what good does that do?) and then they wing her to Sri Lanka. Rifka said it herself: "In 150 generations of my family no one has known Jesus. I am the first one. Imagine the honor in killing me. There is great honor in that. Because if they love Allah more than me, they have to do it. It's in the Koran...They have to do this. They just have to. Either they do that or they send me back to Sri Lanka. There's an asylum there where they put people like me, like, think I'm crazy."
Bary dissolved his business in early July when it became increasingly clear that Rifqa was a true convert to Christianity. It was at that time that he waved her laptop at her and said, "You are dead to me. You are not my daughter." He told her: "I will kill you."
His sudden dissolving of his business -- indicate that he was deadly serious. But you won't learn them from the mainstream media. For them, and for the almost-as-clueless courts, he is "indigent."

Unfortunately for her... it's still NOT over.
Bottom line:
The left has really got to love that idea.
...And unfortunately, we've got some pretty worthless judges in our courts who'll face severe consequences when the gavel comes down on their earthly days.
she's also almost 18. Not technically an adult but she certainly shouldn't be treated like a little kid, even if she ran away for some other reason.
The Religion of Piece ... I wonder how many pieces Rifqa would have been found in once her daddy got through honoring the bloody demon, allah?
Jesus has a away of bringing out insecurity among Muslims. It is not any wonder why.
Sadly she is not safe. If any of her family finds her they will kill her. She knows that. Prayers that she remains safe from them & alive.
The media demonized Christianity ("brainwashed by a cult") while inaccurately reporting the facts in order to avoid reporting about the violent ideology of Islam.
Would the medias' position here also demand Black Liberation Theology (certainly NOT mainstream Christianity as it has features related to Nation of Islam, Marxism and Black Racism) be identified by media as a "cult". What about the "brainwashing" of members of such a cult as BLT represents? The media missed a bigger opportunity at the national level in the recent past, and avoided it.
In this case, "brainwashed by a cult" in result to Bary' general Christian conversion, was a deliberate, disinformative representation.
Pinging a few more, from an earlier story on this...
Good point :(
Indeed. The darkness has not overcome (or understood) the Light!
Rifqa Bary, the Ohio girl who converted from Islam to Christianity and fled from her family in fear for her life, prevailed. She will not be sent back to her father who threatened her life. But she got no help from the mainstream media. Either they didn't report her story or when they did, they printed half-truths and deceptions to whitewash Islam. The media demonized Christianity ("brainwashed by a cult") while inaccurately reporting the facts in order to avoid reporting about the violent ideology of Islam. They have become almost as depraved as the murderers they cover for. And in doing so, the mainstream media has missed quite a lot that is crucial to Rifqa's story.
I don't think it's over yet. I think there's still more to come down the pike, so we should be watching this one...
I intend to!
The fact radical moozies are in my vicinity (Columbus, OH) and there is considered to be a growing threat of Islamoviolence right here in our backyard is not lost on anyone in this neck o' the woods.
Well, correction: it's not lost on any genuine American patriots (and Freepers!) in this neck o' the woods.
Islam is the cult that should be banned from practice within the United States.
Maybe not under the current (ahem) leadership , but who knows what is coming . ( hope hope hope )
Deport them.
'But she got no help from the mainstream media. Either they didn't report her story or when they did, they printed half-truths and deceptions to whitewash Islam.'
Wow, there's a shocker...
They better watch out in Fla as OBummer might pull another Janet Reno/ Elian Gonzales Federal move!
Tip of the iceberg, folks.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near many.
Thank you for the ping!
As others have said, this is not over. Miss Bary is still in grave danger. She is a brave girl; I admire her strength.
Yeah, let's hope for some REAL change come 2012!
Read up on Sweden and the problems they are having. One of my distant cousins there had to move out of the city to the compound with their retired parents because of the Muslim takeover of northern cities in Sweden.
The wha wha monarchists in Sweden don't want to deal with it. They just want to dress up in their tiara's and pretend that all is good. They are accusing the Swedes of being racists of course.
These are people having to leave homes that have been in the families for hundreds of years.
It's very sad.
It's a shame the Swedes don't take a cue from their neighbors in Denmark. The brave Danes have shown tremendous fortitude in confronting the mad Moozies in the midstnot only speaking out, but enacting policies that show these wife-beating barbarians their 7th-century "sharia" crap isn't welcome in Denmark.
It like I just wanna say... C'mon Sweden, stand up to these desert-rat thugs and give your Viking ancestors something to be proud of!
This is fascinating and interesting in every way and the fact that it is happening so close to home - I don't live far from Westerville - makes it all the more relevant.
Prayers for this girl. May God protect her.
"Rifqa Bary, the Ohio girl who converted from Islam to Christianity and fled from her family in fear for her life, prevailed. She will not be sent back to her father who threatened her life."
It's nice to see a happy ending for a change.
How very peaceful.
A small nit to pick, though: I grow weary of reports and punditry that focus on a business' sales as any sort of indicator of ...well, anything. Nowhere does Gellar reveal how much of that $270k in sales was retained as profit by the father. He could have been losing his arse. Wouldn't have made my heart bleed in his case if so...
Those same pious muslims will also murder, rape and pillage for their faith.
True, the financial report is meaningless in itself. He could have been exaggerating for credit purposes, or making no profit, or running a loss. We don't know.
I do know that not every gemologist or gem importer from Sri Lanka is affluent.
And having lived next door to an "islamic centre" I can affirm what Quix wrote:
>> "Tip of the iceberg, folks.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near many."
And my hornet's nest was not in a major city, but in a very quiet hamlet in rural PA.
I didn't know that! I went and read up on it. Holder's actions were cold and he lied through his teeth prior to the surprise seizure. Read several articles and feel Holder should be in prison, not in office. This guy is sick. To go after CIA employees and drop the case against the Black Panther voter intimidation in Phila. Sick guy! I would hate to have his karma.
My hunch, though, is that he was not poor.
I'm skeptical he could have liquidated quite as quickly as he evidently did, were he poor.
And, for some reason, rational, or not, I just don't think he was poor/is poor.
The Mooselymbs are on the same side as the Dark 'lord.'
So his stooges love playing cozy and protective with them.
I second your hunch. A lot of the moozies I see around here are driving around in SUVs, Lexuses (Lexi?) or BMWs. I see women sporting that hijab thing in upscale neighborhoods. The monstrous mosque they built is over between Hilliard and Dublinabout as far from any ghetto as you can get!
Agree totally. Holder is a punk who has ZERO respect for the Constitution of which he's now supposed to be one of the chief guardians.
And who knows what other barely-legal or totally-unethical shenanigans he's done to get where he is! >:[
Aside from the first sentence the article does not make clear that this is over. Hopefully she will turn 18 soon and make this moot.
It's a shame taxpayer money is being being wasted for her "indignant" murder cult father's lawyer.
That's my impression, too. That they are very shrewd businessmen and women. They are not about to lose money on a deal if there's a way around it.
There was a truck stop in the region, however, that went out of business after being bought by Mooselymbs and they advertising it on the web as a place for Mooselymb prayer.
Truckers being usually pretty conservative stopped using it. It went out of business. We were . . . comforted.
lol! Yeah, I really can't see truckers goin' for that halel food and all the sick-cow-wailing "prayer call" 5× a day...
I plan to follow this story until its resolution. Sounds like her b'day isn't 'til next year though... prayers up for her continued safety!

This bold necklace will make sure you make a statement. White shell in oval arc shapes form the silhouettes of the namesake of the necklace- the pure, white lily. Stations of brass with beads of sterling silver add the finishing touch to make the gemstones shine even more. With its unique shape and classic colors, this piece will draw eyes to you. Measures 16-3/4" long with two brass O-rings for slight adjustability. Measures 1-1/2" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Fragrant and pristine, pale blooms reach brightly toward the sky. The contours of natural white shell suggest the shape of petals, while sculptural accents of cast brass and sterling silver bring to life the complex natural design of the flower.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Hazlett secures silver in WPIAL tennis singles
Peter Hazlett charges the net to return a shot during WPIAL tennis singles championship action. The Mt. Lebanon junior finished runner-up to Adam Blasinsky.
Might makes a difference in tennis. Just ask Peter Hazlett.
The Mt. Lebanon junior finished runner-up to a stronger opponent during the WPIAL singles championships. Hazlett dropped a two-set decision, 6-2, 6-1, to top-seeded Adam Blasinsky from Central Catholic in the Class AAA final played at the Lakevue Racquet Club in Valencia.
"Physically, he's a lot stronger than I am," said Hazlett. "Adam played better than I did. He was more competitive on my shots and my service game. He made good shots."
In improving his own game, Hazlett made his best shot when he joined Extreme Fitness last fall. The gym membership transformed Hazlett from a skinny sophomore into a stronger competitor on the courts.
"I've matured," he said with a chuckle, recalling his physique last spring. "I've been working out more and practicing harder and that has helped improve my game."
Hazlett noted that recipe has also benefited his opponent, whom he had beaten regularly when the two were youngsters.
"Adam and I go way back. When we were kids, playing in 10s, I'd beat him a lot but he's worked more on his game and he has put a lot into the sport to become a better player."
While both players maintain national rankings, Blasinsky rates higher and Hazlett expects him to go far in the PIAA tournament set for May 24-25. Both Blasinsky and Hazlett have qualified for the event to be held at the Hershey Racquet Club.
"He will definitely go far but the draw has a lot of very good players to predict that we will meet again," Hazlett said.
Hazlett met Blasinsky in the WPIAL finals by dispatching some strong local talent. He blanked Kyle Hicken from Chartiers Valley, 10-0, in the first round. After he slipped past Fox Chapel's Sid Rajupet, 10-8, Hazlett outlasted Fernando Escribens of Upper St. Clair, 6-2, 6-3, in the semifinals.
After a first-round bye, Blasinsky also scored a shutout in his first competition and then beat Caleb Kramer, 6-0, 6-3, in the semifinals. Kramer had beaten Mitch Kreider of Peters Township, 10-7, and Christian Meyer from USC, 10-6, in his previous matches.
Hazlett, who was a section singles and a section doubles winner last year, now hopes to lead Lebo to the WPIAL team title. The team tournament runs from May 6-10.
The Blue Devils finished runners-up to Shady Side Academy last spring. The Indians recently handed Lebo its first loss of the season, 3-2.
