Teacher quality

Parent involvement
Unfortunately, I was forced to designate at least one star in order to post my comment. I say that because in reading the posts in this forum, I could not help but notice the abysmal grammar and "unusual" syntax of many of the students, and sadly, that of their parents as well. If these students are reflective of this school's academic output, I wouldn't send my child there. It was interesting to note how many commented positively about the extracurricular activities, but how very few, if any, mentioned the academic program. We are supposed to be sending our children to high school to prepare them for higher education, not to participate in band or other social clubs. Get your acts together, people! If the school's administration bothered to read these comments, perhaps they might implement the obvious changes that need to be made. I'm afraid I have a better chance at winning the lottery than seeing that come about.
As I look over the grammar from students that attend this school, along with the grammar from THEIR (that's how you spell it) parents, I can say with great confidence that I'm glad I'm moving to an area with a better school district later this month. Hopefully they teach English at Anchor Bay schools.
My daughter is class of 2014 and has been there since 9th grade. Mott is pretty good but some of the teachers are horrible! If your student has any problems in there class they could be in trouble! They don't care about the children at all and try to make them feel bad about needing help. Most of them are pretty good though. There band is about the best in the state. Not a bad school overall.
I attended Warren Mott for the entire duration of my high school experience (graduating in '09). While of course it was not perfect, and there were teachers that were frustrating for me at time times, there were plenty of wonderful staff members (that I am still in contact with this day) and other wonderful programs. While I was there, the school had plenty of after school activities to get involved in, such as clubs (like the writing club, book club, French club, etc.), an amazinggg band program, and various sports. I was also involved in Link Crew and NHS. I grew so much from the school and had plenty of support from the various staff members there that taught me. I agree with another comment above - there were groups of friends, but there were not "cliques" in the sense that you were ONLY allowed to hang out with preps, or goths, or something. People talked to whomever they wanted to talk to. It was a nice, welcoming place.
i am a student at warren mott high school and i must say that the school is ok. they are really strict when it comes to grades and attendance. they make u wear certain color id depends on the grade u r in. GREEN-FRESHMEN BLUE-SOPHMORE -YELLOW-JUINIOR AND BURGANY-SENIOR. its very complicated to learn your way around the school if u r a new student though. there is no 2nd floor everything is in seperate departments. there is a south house,west house,and north house. the school has alot of programs like an oppotunity fotr students to participate in the morning announcements. i am a student and i am in drama class. they dnt have any stage or anytthing its just a regular class. and i'd personally rate the school a 4. it's ok im alright with it. it has alot of african americans. tons of caldeans and of course mostly whites. NO SEGREGATION IN ANY RACIST WAY. OR SEGREGATION LIKE EMOS POPULAR CROWD, OUTCAST OR EVEN LAMES. EVERYONE TALKS TO EVERYONE SO I GUESS THATS GOOD. but yea anyways the school isnt all that. so if u wana come to warren mott high school you are more than welcome too.
Great school! Well organized, great sports programs and great teachers. I'm happy to have my kids attend Mott.
I love the school , its a very fun school , I Love it! best School in WCS.
Warren Mott has a great variety of programs and offerings for students.
The staff is not good at all. They seem to have a negative attitude to every body, its very alerting to me that my 15 year old daughter goes there, I do not think she is recieving the correct education. The teachers are absolutely impossible to work with..
The school is probaley the best in warren district. Great school. Needs more police. Needs to be more interesting.
Great great school!!! staff is always willing to help. And it would and always have been my favoite school of choise in warren
Band program is fantastic won't find a better one in this state. On the other hand if you have a struggling student not exactly the greatest place for them, some teachers have an attitude you get it or you don't my student is in 11th grade and has a teacher this semester that says one thing and does whatever they want , it's a shame that teachers aren't held accountable as the students are.
Agendas arent given anymore and the teachers are not that great. My son has a hard time grasping some concepts and my husand is the one teaching him his math
Spent all four years of high school at Mott. I lived in sterling heights and was supposed to attend Sterling Heights high school, but choose to go to Mott because I felt i received a better education there.
I'm a Freshman at Mott, and I wouldn't want to go to school any where else. Mott has a safe environment, and teachers that DO care about how we as students are doing. Are Bands, are Athletics and are after school activies are amazing. Your kid will have fun here, and go to a great school to get a good education.
My Family has been at Warren Mott for the past eight years. My oldest is now a Junior in College and I have a current Senior there. I love everything about Warren Mott. The staff encourages the students with a wide variety of extra curricular activities even if they are not involved in sports or band. My entire family will miss the school for a few years until our youngest(currently a sixth grader) is enrolled. Keep up the great work Warren Mott Staff!
I am currently enrolled at Warren Mott High School as a senior. I have gone there for my entire high school career. There are many different subject areas to be enrolled in. The staff is not only friendly but they work with you to help and make you achieve. This school year (2006-2007) some new changes have been made to ensure the safety of students, all persons in the building are required to wear ID badges to help protect the students. No one is allowed in the school without one. The security staff is friendly and truly care about the safety of the students, if there is anything that needs to be taken care they take care of it ASAP. The counselors work with every student individually to make sure they will graduate on time and have all their required credits. The school is also a Blue Ribbon School.
After my daughter attended another school, and then became homeschooled, I found Warren Mott! This is a wonderful high school, offering both excellent academics and extracurricular activities.
'Warren Mott is one of the best school's I have been to. The teachers are great at helping students out with there work. There is a wide variety of classes to take. There are many activities that go on after school such as softball, baseball, basketball, football, soccer and many more. I always see parents at the school helping out for different things. The secruity of the school is also top notch to protect the students with a police officer always on duty. Warren Mott is truly a great school'
This is one of the worst schools I have ever been to. I went to this school for 1 year and hated it. The security is lacking. the teachers are not very good. MEAP scores are incredibly low. This school is just not what it should be, and I will make sure my 2 year old daughter never goes here.

Sweden's Queen Silvia Injured In New York By Paparazzo
Posted by David Ozanich — 6 Apr 2011
It's hard out there for a
pimp Queen! The lovely Queen Silvia of Sweden (wife of King Carl XVI Gustaf) was in New York yesterday supporting her charity World Childhood Foundation when she was "stalked" by a Swedish photographer. Her attempts to get away from him led to a nasty fall in which she injured her wrist and foot. Reports the breathless NY Post:
"It's not a question of her simply wanting to avoid being photographed. It's more akin to stalking," a Royal Court spokesman told the Expressen newspaper.
Photographs of her using a cane and wearing a brace were published in the Swedish media Wednesday.
In a statement reported by the Swedish TT news agency, the Royal Court said the photographer refused to acknowledge the Queen's desire for privacy and hung around the entrance to the store.
Queen Silvia opted to leave the Madison Avenue store through a side door, and walked briskly to her car to avoid the photographer who chased after her.
"Unfortunately, the Queen then fell, injuring both her foot and wrist," the statement said.
As usual, shopping in New York is a contact sport. Photo via.

Would seem that 10.3.x users like myself could get the same functionality by installing darwinports, and issuing the command as root:
# port install coreutils
and then of course using what is in
# /usr/local/bin/ps2ascii filepath.pdf #<-- CLI which ouputs pdf as ascii
For instructions on how to install darwinports, just visit www.darwinports.org, where there is a 10.3.x binary distribution available at
Hope this helps folks like myself that refuse to pay for 10.4.x.
Good luck.

Like the Infinity Bib Short, the Infinity jersey represents Mavic best effort put forth to produce their version of the ultimate jersey. It features soft and thin fabrics that have good wicking properties along with an anatomic fit and some unique styling features that make the Infinity a decidedly Mavic garment.
Mavic is a company filled with engineers, so it's no surprise that when it comes to designing apparel, you're going to see purely functional details and a pragmatic approach to development in a cycling garment. The main textile used in the body panels of the Infinity is Ride Wick ST. It's lightweight and does a great job at transporting moisture away from your skin. Other panels are constructed of Ride Wick X-Static and placed where perspiration is more prevalent, like under the arms. Mavic uses a process called Micro Vent to enhance breathability. This process is strategically placed micro laser perforations in areas were more ventilation is required. Ergo Grip sleeve cuffs offer support and a good way of terminating the sleeves. Full front zipper provides perfect body temp regulation. Three pockets that adorn the rear are all bonded to the jersey. An extra and smaller 4th zip pocket handles your valuables. Anatomic fit is both aero and comfortable.

Faculty/Staff Directory
Janie Geiser
Theater Faculty, Puppetry
Phone: 661.222.2738
Room: E312
Janie Geiser is an internationally recognized experimental filmmaker and visual/theater artist, whose work is known for its recontextualization of abandoned objects, its embrace of artifice, and its sublime use of controlled superimposition. A Guggenheim fellow, "Geiser gives voice to the reaches of the unconscious, pointing to the abandoned splendor that exists prior to the rules of society and language." (—Holly Willis, Res, 2004).
Geiser is an Obie Award-winning director, and a pioneer in the renaissance of American experimental puppet theater. She creates innovative, hypnotic works that integrate puppets and performing objects with live performers and film. Her performances have been presented at numerous venues including RADAR LA 2013, St. Ann's Warehouse, REDCAT, MOCA, The Public Theater, The Walker Arts Center, The Museum of Jurassic Technology, The Santa Monica Museum of Art, The Velaslavasay Panorama, Arts at St. Ann's, PS 122, Automata, and other venues.
Geiser's films and videos are "as extravagantly beautiful as they are difficult, and as allusive as they are elusive" (—Cinemascope). Her films have been presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art, LACMA, SFMOMA, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the 2013 Sharjah Bienniel. Her films have been the subject of numerous one-person screenings, most notably at the Museum of Modern Art, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Wexner Center for the Arts, REDCAT, and the San Francisco Cinematheque. Her films frequently screen at major festivals, including 8 New York Film Festivals, the Toronto Film Festival, the Hong Kong International Film Festival, London International Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, the Vienna Viennale, Oberhausen Film Festival, and the San Francisco Film Festival. Her film The Red Book was selected for the 2009 National Film Registry for preservation in the Library of Congress, and her film The Fourth Watch was selected by Film Comment as one of the top ten experimental films of the last decade. Geiser's artist book The Tornado Treaty is in the Artists Book Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and three of her 16mm films are in MOMA's permanent film collection.
Geiser is the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships, including a 2012 Mapfund Grant, a 2011 California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists. She has received funding from Creative Capitol, the Center for Cultural Innovation, the NEA, Rockefeller Foundation, Henson Foundation, and other foundations. Her new multidisciplinary performance Clouded Sulphur recently completed a sold-out run at Automata in Los Angeles, as part of the RADAR LA 2013 Festival.
In her films, performances, and installations, "Geiser brings collage to a new level, as a space traversed by cut-out silhouettes, purloined drawings and fragments of black-and-white films. The image trembles, is cropped, elusive, a forbidden sight snatched from darkness; the spectator is invited to trek though the suggested layers of meaning as through the intricate foliage of an enchanted forest." (—Berenice Reynaud, film scholar and curator of Film at REDCAT)
Geiser is also Co-Artistic Director of Automata, an artist-run Los Angeles nonprofit dedicated to object performance, puppetry, experimental film, pre-cinema, and other lost or neglected art forms.

Check Status, Return, Print UPS label, and I'm handing the box the the UPS man. Nice.
The quality of the lens insert looks great, too bad I can't use it.

Dan Doke Photography! Reading, MA/Salem, NH
Ok, so I'm very much a picture person. My nickname with my family and friends is "the paparazzi" because I take a million of pictures everywhere we go! I love to scrapbook, although I don't have as much time as I used to since I work and in graduate school, but I still try to get some in every now and then. Therefore when it came time to look at photographer's I wanted a good one. We used a good part of our budget on the photographer because of this, but we feel we made the right choice and have been completely satisfied so far! We went with Dan Doke Photography. I did tons of research and read over a lot of reviews to make this decision. One reason we loved him was because first off his pictures are excellent, but when he puts together your album he does a great job in telling the story of your day, it isn't just an album with pictures in it. He also doesn't have a max number of pictures he takes at your wedding, he keeps snapping til he gets the perfect picture he is looking for. Check out his site! www.dandoke.com! (His blog is http://www.dandoke.com/blog/) He was one of the photographers to cover the 2005 Black Tie and Boots Inaugural Ball for President Bush!! Wicked cool! :-D
Anyone else book him!?!

Kazakhstan oil and gas tax guide 2014
The oil and gas industry of Kazakhstan plays an important role in the economic development of the republic. It is one of the main drivers of gross domestic product (GDP) growth and an important source of national budget revenue.
According to the latest GDP forecast by the Ministry of Economy and Budget Planning of Kazakhstan in 2013, the average annual growth from 2014 to 2018 will be 6.5%. The oil and gas industry, whose share in total GDP increased from 10.9% in 2001 to 25.2% in 2012, plays a vital role in Kazakhstan's GDP structure.
Consistent development of the oil and FDI in Kazakhstan 2005–12 gas industry would not be possible without foreign direct investment (FDI). The annual volume of FDI has been increasing year by year since 1998 and the share of investments in the oil and gas industry in total volume of FDI remains high.
According to BP's Statistical Review of World Energy June 2013, Kazakhstan has proven reserves estimated at 30.0 billion barrels (3.9 billion tons) of oil and proven natural gas reserves of 45.7 trillion cubic feet (1.3 trillion cubic meters), which represent 1.8% and 0.7% of total global reserves, respectively.
Kazakhstan is the second largest oil producer among the former Soviet republics after Russia and is heavily reliant on oil export revenues. Total production of oil and gas condensate in 2013 amounted to 81.8 million tons, up 3.2% year-on-year, of which 72.1 million tons, up 5.1% yearon- year, were exported. The government expects total production to rise to 90 million tons in 2015 and 110 million tons in 2018.
According to the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook 2010, by 2020 Kazakhstan will join the top 10 oil and gas exporters.
State participation in the oil and gas industry has increased over the last several years due to the vital role of this industry in the economy of the republic. The company controls 20% of total oil and gas proved reserves of Kazakhstan and produces 27% of total oil and gas condensate and 14% of gas.

Friday night
Joel has been living one crazy schedule these days. It was nice to have him home to eat supper and sleep in his own bed this week. Friday night was opened and we have really not spent any time with John and Diane. Was happy their calendar was open too.
Beef Vegetable Soup and Dilly Bread
Joel made me this tray out of an old pallet.
"NEW" dessert plates to me. I got them at Good Will for.49 cents.
Just a few munchies during cards.

Fall in my yard.
This is one of my favorite seasons. Pears, apples, colored leaves, wearing a sweatshirt, I love the smell of burning leaves and football. It's a beautiful day in Wisconsin.

day 11 - Phoenix
Today we were on a mission to find Joel's grandparents marker at the cemetery. We finally found it and then looked around Scottsdale for flowers. We put this nice arrangement together.
It was a Fond du Lac day in Phoenix. At the Brewers game we met up with our friend Paul from our former congregation who is in Arizona for vacation.
We headed to another Brewer game. We got our VIP parking and 2nd row tickets behind home plate from the member at Cross of Glory who is head of grounds crew. Joel had a JCM meeting with a pastor who was at the game. Then met someone who teaches at WLC and made another connection. They want to send students to 3rd world countries to do mission work.
Joel has a meeting tomorrow morning and then off to the airport. We hate to leave this amazing weather but we are looking forward to going home and for me to get back in my kitchen. I refuse to come home with long pants and enclosed shoes so have my sandals and caprices on.

day 10 - in the car again
Good Morning from Phoenix:
I have one picture from Sunday. There are no others because we headed back from Bishop CA and it was the same scenery. This was the cutest church, which was a house first, there were 6 pews on each side, there are 14 ladies, and 1 man in this congregation. The pastor and his wife have 3 boys and the average age was 70ish. Very loving people. Joel did not need a sound system while preaching here. They had a brunch/lunch for us and Joel did his presentation. Again, another group who is excited to start a JCM program.
We left at 12:30 and pulled into the hotel just before 10 a.m. We traveled 586 up and down the mountains. WOW !!!! I even drove part of the way coming down into the out skirts of LA. CRAZY!!!!!
We really don't know what time change we are on even though we are really trying to stay on central. Joel was up at 4:45 a.m. doing e-mails.
Today we are going to look for Grandpa and Grandma Harting's cemetery marker, Phil wants a flag shirt, we have a Brewer game with our VIP parking and free tickets again. Then two families from FDL are flying in today and we are having dinner with them. Then Joel talks to 2 circuits tomorrow and then early afternoon we head home.
I told Joel yesterday that I am ready to head home. It has been a great trip seeing God's creation in the West, meeting so many new people and spending time with Joel. My pictures do not even capture the beauty of those snow capped mountains.
Here is a picture of the church we were at yesterday.

Revisiting my Japan post
This time last week, I was asked if I would go on Piers Morgan's CNN show to talk about donations to Japan. I said yes, and reckoned that if I was going to go on national TV talking about such things, I ought at least to have a blog entry up on the subject. So I wrote this.
It's the job of an opinion writer to stake out clearly-defined and controversial opinions, and anybody in this business has to have a reasonably thick skin. And I knew, more or less, what I was getting myself into: the very reason that I was asked onto the Piers Morgan show to begin with was that I'd written something very similar about Haiti, and a lot of people didn't like that.
In the end, the Piers Morgan appearance was canceled. But my blog post went viral, and not in a particularly good way. One week, 248 comments, and 7,269 Facebook recommendations later, I'm wondering what happened.
I'm used to criticism — I even got an honest-to-goodness death threat once, after I warned (erroneously) that Morgan Stanley was toast and likely to get nationalized. But the degree of anger and hatred leveled at me over the past week is nothing I've ever experienced.
It's worth making very clear, in case anybody was wondering, that this is one of those situations where my opinion is most emphatically not that of my employer, which is putting a lot of effort and money into raising earmarked funds for Japan.
The debate is clearly an important and meaningful one. My advice was entirely in line with the detailed analysis from GiveWell, which concludes that "the relief/recovery effort does not have room for more funding" and that "you as a donor do not have the power to improve the relief and recovery effort in Japan." It's also in line with Stephanie Strom's reporting for the NYT. And so far, I haven't seen any real pushback to the substance of what they're saying.
The media reaction to my post was generally somewhere between respectful and positive — see Weekend Edition's coverage, for instance, or Slate's. And in general it's hard to find independent commentators who think that donating earmarked funds to Japan is a particularly good idea. Tyler Cowen probably comes closest: he says that there are no corruption worries in Japan; that sending money is an important signaling mechanism showing US solidarity with Japan; and that even though you could give unrestricted funds instead, you probably won't, and that therefore something is better than nothing.
But substantive debate was something sorely missing in the comments to my post, which rapidly generated into a startling series of ad hominem attacks on myself personally — I'm evil, I'm racist, I deserve to die, I should be fired, that kind of thing — interspersed with other comments pointing out that the attackers didn't seem to have read and understood what I'd written.
Where did all those comments come from? I suspect that a lot of them came from people following a link from Facebook, where my story showed up like this:
There's no nuance there, just a stern-looking headshot, a stark headline, and what looks very much like gratuitous provocation. People who have donated money to Japan, or who have friends or family in the affected area, are naturally going to respond aggressively if they see something like this. By the time they click through to the actual article, it's too late for my argument to carry the day: they're angry, and they're going to express that anger in my comments.
Those comments were particularly effective because they were read, by myself and by many other people inside and outside Reuters. That's not always the case, online: if you're a writer or editor for HuffPo or Yahoo, the volume of comments is simply too great to even think about reading them all. So if a comment thread degenerates into a flame war, people tend not to notice as much. Even in my own case, I get thousands of comments on posts which are republished on Seeking Alpha, and generally read none of them.
But I'm very proud of my commenters here at Reuters, I respect them a lot, and know full well that on any given subject I have many readers who are much smarter and more knowledgeable than I am. And it turns out that when I get a large number of commenters who aren't regular readers of my blog, it's hard to snap out of the habit of reading them with a certain degree of respect.
My blog is a place for pretty high-level debate and discussion surrounding issues in the news. It assumes, for instance, that people implicitly understand the orders of magnitude between the amount of donations being targeted at Japan and the amount of money that it's going to cost to rebuild the country and aid the victims of the earthquake and tsunami. Or that Japan, with its overvalued currency and too-low inflation, would actually welcome any short-term inflation and depreciation which came from printing money to pay for reconstruction.
But while these are familiar concepts to my blog's regular readers, they're not necessarily familiar to people on the internet more generally. "There's nothing you can do to help" is never a pleasant message to convey, and people tend to react strongly against it. On top of that, decades of fundraisers sending the message that "every penny helps" have clearly done their job — which is to conflate, in the public's mind, the act of helping with the act of donating money, to the point at which a message of "don't donate to Japan" is read as saying, in substance, "don't help Japan."
Would it have been better, then, for me to make the same point less forcefully? A large contingent of the commenters on the post think so: they're the ones saying that the message is fine, but the headline is insensitive and needlessly provocative in a time of great emotional turmoil and strain. I'm torn on this one, but I think that in general sugar-coating and euphemism are invidious: if you've got something you want to say, you should just come out and say it. And given that it's impossible to know in advance when a post is going to break out from my normal readership, the result of such a policy would surely be a lot of unnecessary and harmful self-censorship.
On top of that, as Nick Denton never fails to remind me, commenters are by no means representative of readers as a whole. If a tiny fraction of 1% of the readers of the post have a strong negative reaction to it and leave angry comments it, that's entirely consistent with 99% of my readers understanding exactly what I was trying to say, and maybe even learning something and viewing the world of aid and philanthropy in a way they hadn't thought of before.
In hindsight, I do wish that I'd spent a bit more time on the post instead of rushing it out between panels at SXSW. But I doubt that would have made a huge amount of difference. In future, though, I think I will be more conscious of how the headline and first two sentences of my posts are likely to come across on Facebook. When I'm aggregated by humans, they make sure to get the message across quite clearly. But Facebook's bots aren't that smart, and the message can easily be lost completely.

For the record, I've found your posts on charitable contributions including the Japan post to be illuminating. The entire subject was one that I was not up to speed on and you provided some very useful information. I thought the Japan post simply extended your previous thoughts on the subject and did not evidence any hidden agendas.
Given the shots I've taken at you from time to time, I know how thick your skin is. Don't let any of this change that for a second.
great postmortem post Felix. It's precisely because the title of the original piece was provocative that when I shared the link to my FB page, I actually pasted another section of your post rather than the bits that reuters (or FB) chose, nevertheless that still brought out a stream of comments where people seemed to take your title to heart a bit too much and as you said here, by the time they read to your actual thoughts (and plea for donations to MSF), they were too coloured against your position to really take it to heart.
It'll blow over, Felix. Don't censor yourself.
I always read the posts before reacting, but sadly, many people don't. I thought the angle you took was unusual, but interesting and worth discussing.
Japan has a problem at the moment of too high a value for the Yen, and sending more foreign currency into Japan makes this worse. That slows exports, and that is not helpful. Of course, the other problem is that while the savings rate in Japan is incredibly high (huge retired population) the government has a deficit and can't balance the books – yet needs $200 billion to rebuild after the triple disaster.
Not a good place to be right now.
SXSW? Ewwww……………
http://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/r iot_at_sxsw_death_from_above_1979_show/
Keep the faith, Felix
What happened to my post? It was here before, now its gone. Censored?
Whatever. Just don't ever stop with the "In future"-s.
90% of the blowback wouldn't have happened with a more judicious headline. The content of the post could have been better — but pretty much all blog posts could be better, because the nature of them is that they're written at speed. But the headline doesn't actually accurately summarize what you were saying.
Don't be hard on yourself Felix; that headshot is hardly "stern-looking". In fact, the hairdo and general bemusedness reminds me of Beaker the Muppet (in a good way).
Your charitable giving posts always remind me to give ELSEWHERE since no doubt the flows to the affected region will syphon off the overall charity spigot quite dramatically.
I don't think your evil, a racist or anything of that nature. You made an error in judgement under duress. OK that is something I do as well. I fully understand what you wrote in your original article and I think most people get what you intended to do.
I don't think you should be punished just educated in a good way.
No one disputes that you have to sometimes stake out an unpopular or controversial opinion. After you wrote your first (don't donate) article I had never heard of you. Not wanting to be uninformed before I wrote my "negative" post about your article I researched and read a good deal of your work, researched your background with the intent to understand how you could write your "Don't Donate to Japan" article.
Your other articles cut across a wide range of topics and I thought "Good analysis and reporting!".
The criticism wielded at anyone who posted in the comments that they did not fully understand what you had written and that your intent was to make a point to not earmark funds when you donate would ordinarily be accepted. However it was abundantly not clear that was your original intention.
And yes the media response to the article was in general agreement with you that earmarking funds was not a good idea. Unfortunately much of the response beyond the mainstream media focused not on the earmarks but on the headline… "Don't Donate To Japan".
Also because of the title and the way the content was presented it appealed to a few (in my mind) unsavory sites that seemed more jealous about the previous economic success of the Japanese people and in addition to using points from your article suggested they got some kind of nature induced retribution.
Felix: I was informed and inspired by your post, and I, for one, made a non-earmarked donation.
I am sorry your point was misunderstood, but I will be even more sorry if you cut back on the straightforward clarity of your writing, or shy away from unpopular viewpoints.
People really want to believe they can make a difference and being told they can't is provocative. There isn't enough money in the world to quickly counteract the spreading of radioactive contamination (which is really why this disaster continues to be front and center, unlike, say, the Chilean Earthquake of last year). So I second the suggestion to go easy on yourself. OTOH, at least money is fungible — unlike, say, shipping the unused items in your closet to Nicaragua after a hurricane.
I resist all targeted donations except to organizations that have been on the ground in the location before and will still be there after the disaster (on the theory that the local population affected by the disaster just got needier and so increased the organization's work load or logistical difficulties). This was the premise for my donations after the Haitian earthquake.
It annoys me to be called by CARE et al. asking for funds in the wake of the "unprecedented" scale of a particular disaster. My usual response is to say that I donate every year, in December, and my giving is relatively generous and matched to my means.
Felix, I thought you could have expressed yourself better. When talking about mortgage servicing, it may be useful to take a strong and controversial stance. When talking about disaster relief, it makes sense to tread a little more gingerly lest your (valid) points get lost in the emotional response. For this reason I avoided commenting on that thread.
More later, perhaps. Time to run.
A little surprised at the length of this post, bit whiny for you Felix.
I think you misjudged the original one and came across as a cheap journalist trolling for page-views. Your current audience, which is somewhat select didn't like you for it and when you got the page views you appeared to crave you discovered an audience you didn't want. They'll go back to the tabloids in due course but the lesson is of course be careful what you wish for.
I sympathize – you are right on facts and logic. Being nerdy and unemotional, I can see your point.
But I have lived long enough, and there is another empirical fact – people are emotional, and when talking about life and death people will paint any dispasionate analyis as uncaring.
I am an atheist, but I always tell people I know who are dying that they are in my prayers (which is true; I just don't believe they are effective). People who are dying don't need my analysis of religion and reality.
That doesn't mean I can't express my view at other times and other places which lend themselves to dispasionate discussion.
The only regrettable thing, I think, is that your essay got boiled down to an ill-fitting headline. But honestly, that's because you yourself boiled the argument down to a not-entirely-well-fitting lead paragraph. If you had opened more forcefully with "give unrestricted money to global charities," and made something like that your headline, I think you would have made out much better.
That doesn't stop being good advice, by the way, and it's as needed now as ever. For instance, I was out getting a haircut yesterday, and I saw a banner hanging out over the shop next door: "SHOE DRIVE FOR JAPAN." Shoes? We're now sending _shoes_ to Japan–shoes that probably sailed right _past_ Japan to get to the States in the first place? It's perfectly insane.
Send a check to Doctors Without Borders or the Red Cross or whoever you like, and send it to their general fund.
Felix – I made this account just to assure you that your Japan funds blog did make a difference! I think that people are so used to having underdeveloped countries be the [unintentional] target of such tragedies, that we're honestly completely ignorant of how to handle a disaster centered around a society and economy that are, in some ways, more advanced than our own.
I know people in Japan, and have long respected that amazing country. I've spent hours online trying to get in touch with people and make sure they're alive and safe. Through all that, as well as seeing who was really doing what over there, and with the help of your blog, I came to the decision that the best thing I could do was start making annual donations to Doctors Without Borders (MSF). I think that–in a case like this especially– it's not the rush of donations that will make the difference, but the money that was given in the "downtime" that enables a group like MSF to respond so quickly in the first place. Also, their most notable work happens every day around the world–it's a lot easier to respond to a huge tragedy, knowing people will generally back you up; it's a lot more difficult to struggle against human rights issues and face general problems on a daily basis.
I'm usually a super-sensitive person, and I didn't find the tone of your post to be apathetic or generally offensive. I think you presented all the facts in a clear, concise manner, allowing me to make the best decision possible. Thank you!
Mr. Salmon,
An interesting post. My only complaint: Please don't hide behind the "self-censoring" argument; it is perfectly possible to make your argument without resorting to the type of shock journalism your title fit into this time. It is also perfectly possible to become a well respected commentator without resorting to these tactics.
The English language is very nearly infinitely variable. You always self-edit based on your perception of your readership, without calling it self-censorship.
It's also okay, and gentlemanly and civil and mature, to just say you are sorry and move on.
@helpforjapan8 – wow! Talk about many things to respond to here…
1. You say: "You made an error in judgement under duress. OK that is something I do as well. I fully understand what you wrote in your original article and I think most people get what you intended to do." – This clearly shows that you do not 'get' the original post. There was no error in judgement nor was the post made in duress. If anything, as Felix himself said, the post was made in haste.
2. nobody is talking about 'punishing' Felix Salmon, unless you mean having his threads be trolled.
I donated to a church group based in Japan. They simply bought blankets and other supplies from stores in unaffected areas and loaded up trucks and started making deliveries into the crippled areas, sometimes driving through mild radiation zones.
A lot of people were helped even while the government response was still being organized.
you wonder what happened? Seems simple to me: your emotion (anger) was reflected right back at you. Must be an interesting experience for an opinion writer.
"decades of fundraisers sending the message that "every penny helps" have clearly done their job — which is to conflate, in the public's mind, the act of helping with the act of donating money, to the point at which a message of "don't donate to Japan" is read as saying, in substance, "don't help Japan.""
2 wrinkles worth highlighting here: per several commenters, especially @fresnodan , it might be worth confronting the essentially irrational way people think about these topics with a little more technique. Yglesias is very good on these sorts of issue — see e.g. his ongoing comments on the value of monarchy for providing a harmless outlet for a tenacious near-universal craziness. Second, by attacking the nastiness that underlies so much charity — a sort of morals-laundering via money, pay me so you can feel good about yourself and we agree not to look too closely at what you've actually done — you are doing a service, and outrage is a natural byproduct.
The title of the article makes me curious that is why I read it and posted it in Facebook. The only thing that comes into my mind is — "Japan is wealthy and they can easily recover. But where do they get the essentials?" Japan has money to buy clean water, but where? Japan has money to buy food but is it safe? These are their needs, can they buy it in their area? NO.. Who can bring these stuff? NGOs. Red Cross is one of the most popular. And how to do they help? By using the donations that was given to them. Would you still give money to Japan?
I am agreeing because they are all based on facts. And it was not published because this writer has a racist opinion. Read the article, understand what it says and try to analyze before you speak or comment.
I have found this to be a very delicate issue to write about as well. I've been very careful in what I've said because of that. My post, Why waiting to give to Japan is a good idea http://goodintents.org/disaster/why-wait ing-to-give-to-japan-is-a-good-idea had nowhere near the backlash that your post received. However, as an aid critic and donor educator, I have had a lot of other posts that have enraged people.
After the earthquake in Haiti, I told people not to send stuff or go to Haiti, but instead give to an organization already in Haiti and with experience in the area they propose helping. As a result I had one blog accusing me of wanting Haitians to die so I could sell their organs on the open market. An online magazine told me to "go blog yourself" because they were headed to Haiti with lifesaving sunglasses.
In America, we have a lot of myths about aid an development work. And when you challenge those tightly held myths people get mad because in doing so you challenge part of their world view. And a lot of that world view reflects back on themselves and where they think they fit in the world.
As one of your long time readers I understood your intent and ideas about donating money to Japan. You are not a political pundit with an extreme view trying to get attention nor are you a person insensitive to the devastating tragedy in Japan. You have a different view about the economics and value of donations. It is good to have discussions about how to respond to a crisis rather than blindly throwing money at a problem.
I felt compeled to write because I wanted to let you that I really enjoy your posts and that this controversy will not affect my readership of your blog.
Hi Felix,
I too am a long-standing fan, and I would like to give you a note of support and sympathy. Your article was not perfectly clearly written, but on a topic like this most people will think with their heart not their head, with poor results.
It was interesting, and a bit ironic, that one of the early virulent critics said something to the effect of "I hope you fall over and break your leg, Felix, and we'll see if you want help then." But this is exactly (one of) the points: if I were to break my leg I wouldn't want people to give me money. I have enough money to pay a doctor etc. What I need is help getting to a doctor, and it would be better if they helped with that.
It seems to me Japan is in a similar situation: they can afford fuel and food, they are (or were) just having trouble actually getting it delivered.
I agree that for many people "don't send money to Japan" probably sounded too much like "don't help Japan." Obviously, that is not what you intended. You might also want to refer to some of the emerging literature that challenges the usually unchallenged assumption that humanitarian relief is unambiguously good.
This book is really provocative:

While this is more relevant to man-made disasters (think Rwanda), it is useful in the case of natural disasters as well: even when offering relief, we often have an agenda. I worked closely with a church group that provided support to a Haitian community and let's just say I came away with a lot of questions and reservations about the net good that we, and charitable organizations generally, were doing.
It would not surprise me if Japan didn't want money not just because it is itself wealthy and contributes a lot to international relief of natural disasters, but because it doesn't want to deal with other people's agendas.
Think of some other blogger and you'll feel better. Example: if Paul Krugman doesn't receive death threats after his blog post, that means either:
a) NYT website is down
b) Krugman's mail server is down
Bravo Felix,
Great article however I am surprised at the those that could not get past the headline and properly digest your analysis.
It really is about the proper and efficient allocation of resources during a time of crises. The hard truth is that Japan does not need our money. It is a wealthy nation that can raise Billions of dollars with one phone call. Japan's current problem is one of logistics, getting resources to where they are needed most. So unless you have a spare aircraft carrier with heavy lift helicopters, or can teleport heavy earth-moving machinery across the Pacific, perhaps your generous cash donations are better spent elsewhere (MSF comes to mind).
Also re the SocksforJapan guy, http://jasonkelly.com/helpjapan/, I understand he is being well intentioned but talk about a massive waste of resources. It boggles the mind to think that someone would think it was a bright idea to start up an NGO in order for Americans: 1) to purchase in America; 2) socks made in China; 3) at a marked up price using american dollars; 4) then pay $7 a pound to ship those Chinese made socks back across the Pacific to Japan. You should read some of the comments on their website where people have bought all these socks then balk at the idea of spending $200 just to pay for the freight to ship them over to Japan.
It seems to me that the more efficient way to accomplish the same task would be to accept donations, then purchase socks directly from a manufacturer in china and have them sent in bulk directly to Japan. Of course that would take all of the feel good spirit out of the donation experience.
I found the content of the post engaging and smart, but think that the headline had the opposite effect of what you wished to communicate. I believe your post was intended to boil down to: "Don't Donate to Japan, Donate Somewhere Else" but I believe people more likely saw "Don't Donate Money to Japan" and just absorbed "Don't Donate."
http://www.brigidslipka.com/2011/03/give -because-of-japan/
The comment-ire was one thing, but I thing the worse impact were the many folks who probably glanced at the headline and as a result of that ended up not being charitable anywhere at all. Rather than encouraging nuanced giving, the post likely had the effect of encouraging no giving.
If you have a defensible position (read: backed by GivingWell) that you think will ultimately do more good for innocent people than harm, and you have the means then I think you're obligated to say it. I applaud you for writing it.
Felix, I am one of those people who found your article informative and enlightening but failed to leave a (timely) supportive comment. You must know that your piece did goog. In the last week I had many conversations about aid to Japan with people around me and your article gave us a useful framework and language for those discussions. In the end, we came out to be more informed well-wishers and donors (deciding to the Doctors without Borders, for instance), but the conversations were far harder than I anticipated. And this was the case even when those in conversation with me were intellectually (not education attainment) ready to engage the issue without necessarily thinking that those expressing a nuanced opinion on aid are "arrogant, calculating, and cynical" people. This is an emotionally charged issue and I am not so sure how far we can get away from the signalling aspect of this. But we need a voice of reason on the Internet so don't be hard on yourself.
Felix, I think there's one important thing here which is :
Do you have a double standard ?
If the answer is no, you treat all disasters fairly wherever they occur, then the important question becomes :
Can you tell us where is your former blog post where you told people coldly and unemotionally to *not* give for the Katrina victims because it would be inefficient ?
And if no such post exists, then maybe you should make a soul inspection and reconsider whether or not you have a double standard.
"that's entirely consistent with 99% of my readers understanding exactly what I was trying to say"
That's pretty presumptuous of you. I think 1% got angry, 1% agree with you, and the other 98% think you are a clown (like I do).
Oh, you're SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much smarter than the rest of us, Mr. Salmon! Wish I could get a job writing senseless drivel about whatever pops into my mind.
Stick to your guns. The article was fantastic. The points you made were spot on. There needs to be more questioning of aid in general.
Your audience and fan base are not made up of the people denigrating you, while having failed to spend the 3 minutes necessary to read your piece. There are many thousands of lazy people on Facebook who will jump on anything worth jumping on if they're bored. Don't worry about that.
Wow, are there ever a lot of self-important people commenting on this, and the previous, article.
To paraphrase an earlier poster: Yes, it does sound insane for Americans to send Japan shoes, or socks (as Mr. Salmon referenced in an update of his earlier piece) that were made in China, imported overseas to the U.S., sold in the U.S. at an inflated price, and shipped back across the Pacific at an inflated cost. Yes, that sounds insane… until you realize that it's a heck of a lot better than doing nothing at all.
People want to help in a tangible way. They want to lift the spirits of those affected in a tangible way. Yes, it may be economically inefficient at best or "insane" at worst to do so, but how people in Japan have you helped today, commenters?
Sending socks and what not has already brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. How much joy have your comments and talk brought to those affected? Stop talking and start acting. If there's indeed a better way, then do something about it.
I am from South (aka West) Japan.
I am sending his original article to Japan newspapers and make sure this is known.
Media can be a wonderful tool for the public – making our lives fuller, interesting, informed. But when it is used with irresponsible acts by those who can make a big impact to the audience, it produces a panic, even impossible to function as humans (thus not helping others).
This has happened in Japan.
If Felix wants to be so famous, be our guest.
Felix, your follow-up to the original article is weak and self-serving. You state that the article was written while rushing between panels of SXSW(a music festival)…
While you were rushing at SXSW the Japanese people were rushing to save their lives and find their lost loved ones.
As a professional journalist, your excuse was sad, but clearly all you could come up with.
Your headline was shameful and irresponsible as was your statement that Japan is a rich country and didn't need help.
You were misunderstood? No Felix,as a professional writer your ability to communicate a topic well is all you have. And under the banner of Reuters your obligation for clarity and integrity is a requirement.
I didn't find your article on Facebook, I found it on CNN. So your message wasn't "lost"…
Having trusted Reuters for as long as I could read the news, you, Mr. Salmon have created doubt in their ability present a topic objectively and with clarity.
And you didn't even say you were sorry.
For brilliant reportage, with many chilling, and also encouraging, photographs, see:
http://jasonkelly.com/2012/03/one-year-l ater/
Sadly your hasty post was misjudged – thanks for re-visiting it.
If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Charges have been filed stemming from a July 4 armed robbery at a Westville-area home.
Full details are not being disclosed because the probe is ongoing and more arrests are expected.
"It's been a pretty extensive investigation," LaPorte County Sheriff's Department Detective Scott Boswell said.
Brandon Montano, 20, of Michigan City, is charged with robbery, burglary and criminal confinement.
Codey Janssen, 23, of North Liberty, is charged with assisting in the burglary and robbery.
One of the counts against the men was elevated to a Class A felony punishable by a 20 to 50 year sentence due to the victim being injured and a firearm being involved, officials said.
The victim was outside his home in the 10000 block of County Road West 200 South on July 4 when the suspects forced him into his residence.
Boswell said the man was held while the two suspects and at least one other individual took items worth more than $10,000.
Boswell would not disclose what all was taken. Investigators are in the process of attempting to recover some of those items.
According to court documents, the victim was confined to his home for about 45 minutes and sustained a serious injury. The man refused medical treatment at the time, saying he would take himself to the hospital. The cause of the injury not revealed.
Boswell said why the suspects targeted the victim is still under investigation.

In this Nature video, we learn how the Inuits ofthe Arctic Circle rely on their dogs. Existing on a diet ofsnow and seal blubber (fat), these dogs pull the sleds of the Inuits andprotect them from wild animals. Multiple dogs pull together to maintain thestability of the sled. Sled dogs sometimes run the equivalent of five marathons(5 x 26.2 miles = 131 miles) per day. They will be the first to fall throughthe ice if there is a crack, but they recover from the cold plunge quickly. Thedogs have evolved to master the harsh environment.
