Just an FYI: We're giving away 10 copies of Book of Happenstance via GoodReads. If you're interested in getting in on the action, just follow the directions below.
Giveaway ends May 15, 2011.
See the giveaway details at Goodreads.
Asymptote Journal just posted their April 2011 fiction section featuring four interesting works in translation.
I first found out about this, because they included an excerpt from Ingrid Winterbach's The Book of Happenstance, which we're bringing out in June. The excerpt is fantastic, naturally, but the care and design that's gone into this web feature is equally impressive. In addition to the excerpt itself, the righthand column contains a number of cool extras, including a link to read the piece in the original Afrikaans, or to hear Ingrid read it in Afrikaans. There's also a note from the translators (Ingrid and Dick Winterbach). Obsessed with translation issues as I am, I think their comments are really interesting:
An important motif in the novel The Book of Happenstance is the loss of words in Afrikaans – the countless words that have fallen into disuse for a variety of reasons. The protagonist is a lexicographer, who collaborates with an etymologist in cataloguing these obsolete words. The novel accordingly foregrounds language: it focuses on unusual words, word play, the etymology of words, free association. This foregrounding of language poses very specific difficulties for the translator. It requires an attention to language akin to that needed for the translation of poetry.
These disused words occur frequently in the text (sometimes running for paragraphs on end). What is interesting for an Afrikaans reader, however – familiar with the current status of a word – could very well be wearisome to the foreign language reader, unnecessarily and frustratingly slowing down the narrative. The challenge was to retain as many of the words as possible – but still make them as captivating as possible for the foreign reader.
Also included in this issue of Asymptote:An excerpt from Imre Kertesz's Fiasco which is translated by Tim Wilkinson and has a very striking opening:
Your manuscript has been assessed by our firm's readers. On the basis of their unanimous opinion we are unable to undertake publication of your novel.
We consider that your way of giving artistic expression to the material of your experiences does not come off, whereas the subject itself is horrific and shocking. The fact that it nevertheless fails to become a shattering experience for the reader hinges primarily to the main protagonist's, to put it mildly, odd reactions. While we find it understandable that the adolescent main protagonist does not immediately grasp what is happening around him (the call-up for forced labour, compulsory wearing of the yellow star, etc.), we think it inexplicable why, on arrival at the concentration camp, he sees the bald-shaven prisoners as "suspect." More passages in bad taste follow: "Their faces did not exactly inspire confidence either: jug ears, prominent noses, sunken, beady eyes with a crafty gleam. Quite like Jews in every respect."
It is also incredible that the spectacle of the crematoria arouses in him feelings of "a sense of a certain joke, a kind of student jape," as he knows he is in an extermination camp and his being a Jew is sufficient reason for him to be killed. His behaviour, his gauche comments repel and offend the reader, who can only be annoyed on reading the novel's ending, since the behaviour the main protagonist has displayed hitherto, his lack of compassion, gives him no ground to dispense moral judgements, call others to account (e.g. the reproaches he makes to the Jewish family living in the same building). We must also say something about the style. For the most part your sentences are clumsy, couched in a tortuous form, and sadly there are all too many phrases like "…on the whole…," "naturally enough," and "besides which …"
We are therefore returning the manuscript to you. Regards.
There's also a section of Liu Zhenyun's Cell Phone, which is described by translator Howard Goldblatt:
Cell Phone began as a joint project between Liu Zhenyun, one of the country's most respected novelists, and Feng Xiaogang, creator of the cinematic blockbuster and China's most successful director of mainstream films. The co-written script for the movie spawned the novel, both of which appeared at the end of 2003. While observing friends at a party kept busy answering cell phones, Liu noted the camouflage and pretenses employed in many of the conversations, which seemed to hold deep secrets, and he sensed that these instruments of ubiquitous communication could be a double-edged sword, capable of linking practical utility to moral expedience. That is the core issue of Liu's novel, whose light-hearted, often comical tone lays a thin veil over the author's evocation of the cost of technology's incursion into urban life and the concomitant loss of privacy, already in short supply in Chinese society.
Finally, there's also a piece from Torgny Lindgren's The Tree and a special feature from translators Erika Sigvardsdotter and Bradley L. Garrett on Lindgren's work:
The insular village surrounded by oceans of billowing needle trees is one of the recurring themes in Lindgren's writing. In The Tree, this conceptual image is crucial. Isolated in time and space, the village comes to stand for the paradoxical pairing of insular, uncultivated narrow-mindedness and refined, perfected, material and social culture where everyone and everything knows its place and function. It is a seemingly eternal place, of great beauty and cultural depth, yet always on the brink of annihilation.
Asymptote is quickly establishing itself as one of the most interesting—and best designed—translation websites out there. Keep up the good (and beautiful!) work.
OK, so I didn't get to writing up all the things I wanted to this week, but before taking off for Amsterdam and the Non-Fiction Conference (see next post), I thought I'd share our Summer 2011 catalog.
With a little luck, I'll highlight each of these next week, with excerpts and the like, but for now, here's a list of all five titles along with links to their Open Letter pages, where you can find cover images, jacket copy, links to excerpts, author bios, etc., etc.
Excellent collection of Monzo's stories, and the second book of his that we're publishing. Next up: 1000 Morons.
This is the first of three Chejfec titles we're publishing, the other two being The Dark and The Planets. First came across Chejfec in a post by Scott Esposito at Conversational Reading linking to a recommendation at Hermano Cerdo written by Enrique Vila-Matas about how totally awesome this book is. (Or some similar Spanish phrasing.) We then went on to buy the rights to all three books thanks to a brilliant excerpt that was in BOMB magazine.
This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. And the second Open Letter book in which guinea pigs are subjected to uncool things. I get the strangest reaction from friends when I try and describe just how funny the narrator's guinea pig "experiments" are. Like the one with the record player. Or the stove. Or the bathtub. . . . Um, yeah. But seriously, it's hysterical—mainly because of the voice of the befuddled, clueless narrator. And we have some awesome promotions in mind for this . . . none of which involve the harming of physical, living guinea pigs. Promise.
This new collection by Can Xue (who has also been published by New Directions, Northwestern, Yale, and Conjunctions) is the first Chinese title to come out from Open Letter. She's a very interesting, unique writer who reminds me a bit of Rikki Ducornet. The stories are a bit surreal, surprising, and, at time, disorienting in a very pleasurable way.
We published Winterbach's To Hell with Cronje last fall to some good attention. She's a stark, interesting South African writer, and in the end, I think Book of Happenstance is an even better book than Cronje . . .
More all next week . . .
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .
It hasn't quite neared the pitch of the waiting-in-line-at-midnight Harry Potter days, but in small bookstores and reading circles of New York City, an aura has attended the novelist Elena Ferrante and her works. One part curiosity (Who is she?),. . .
From the late 1940s to the early 1950s, Egypt was going through a period of transition. The country's people were growing unhappy with the corruption of power in the government, which had been under British rule for decades. The Egyptians'. . .
Miruna is a novella written in the voice of an adult who remembers the summer he (then, seven) and his sister, Miruna (then, six) spent in the Evil Vale with their grandfather (sometimes referred to as "Grandfather," other times as. . .
Kamal Jann by the Lebanese born author Dominique Eddé is a tale of familial and political intrigue, a murky stew of byzantine alliances, betrayals, and hostilities. It is a well-told story of revenge and, what's more, a serious novel that. . .
While looking back at an episode in his life, twenty-year-old Taguchi Hiro remembers what his friend Kumamoto Akira said about poetry.

I Want An Oompa Loompa Now!

Well combine is over, I'm out here scrambling for things to talk about, as the draft approaches.┬Ā I will be going to a few prodays, so I'll have that to talk about.┬Ā Pretty much, I'm just living the dream here in Boston.┬Ā My roommate, or as she likes to be called my "girlfriend" is campaigning for me to parlay this blog into a free Motorola Droid for her (see her sales pitch below).┬Ā But I told her, that free laundry and internet fame were about all that Thoughts From a Fat White Guy brings to the table.┬Ā I mean, don't get mad at me, you're the one that signed up for this ride.┬Ā You broke it you bought it.

2013 Hawk Holiday Party: Laughter, Jokes and Lots of Prizes
The 2013 Hawk Holiday Party went down last night at the Schorr Family Firehouse Stage in Johnson City and it was....amazing! I can't remember the last time that I laughed so hard.
The 2013 Hawk Holiday Party went down last night at the Schorr Family Firehouse Stage in Johnson City and it was....amazing! I can't remember the last time that I laughed so hard.
There's a race track in Vermont called Thunder Road. It's a small track, but has seen the likes of Tony Stewart and it used to be one of my favorite places to hang out on Thursday nights.
I have to admit that I'm terrible when it comes to knowing how much to tip. I have an app on my phone that calculates how much I should give, but what my app doesn't tell me is how much I should tip people like my hairdresser during the holidays. If you're not sure either, here's a handy little guide that should help- it's helped me!
Wednesday night (Dec. 11), 'Kelly Clarkson's Cautionary Christmas Tale' will air, and with it will come a special performance from Clarkson, Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood together, performing 'Silent Night.' You can preview a peek of their rendition -- and it's bound to ramp up your excitement!
This is possibly the most spectacular thing I've ever heard of a business doing. A true act of kindness that has left the world speechless and me in tears.
Kelly Clarkson isn't just singing in her NBC holiday special. In a move that follows Carrie Underwood, Kelly will also be acting in a few skits inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol' during tonight's 'Kelly Clarkson's Cautionary Christmas Music Tale.'
Having a Christmas get together with family or your best girlfriends, but don't want it to be the same old same? You know the kind. You set out a few trays of fruit and cheese and have a few bottles of wine on hand and your family and friends just stand around looking bored, but trying politely to look like they're having a good time. You don't want to be that person do you?
The carousel in Binghamton's Rec Park is usually closed during the winter, but as a special holiday treat, it'll be open for a couple of hours this month.
Some people have been asking me about Suzie, Tara's Elf on the Shelf. She has definitely relaxed from last year and is acting more like our family. She came back by relaxing in her Suzie Sauna. She's been caught sipping syrup with the snowman. If you're saying, What is Elf on the Shelf, then go here.
If you're planning to catch a flight out of the Binghamton Airport this holiday season and are planning to take toys with you, know this-when the TSA says no guns at the airport, they mean ALL guns.

Beaufort, NC
We'll be spending one night in June at the Inlet Inn in Beaufort, NC. An internet search shows a goodly number of restaurants in the area. Which one is your "don't-miss" favorite? Thanks.
It's been several years since I was in Beaufort, NC. My son was in the USMC at Parris Island and Camp Lejeune. You pronounce the NC Beaufort one way and the SC Beaufort another. I think one is BO and one is BEU.
I traveled all over that country. I wouild suggest Beaufort Grocery Co. @ 117 Queen Street, Beaufort, NC - (252) 728-3899 or Clawson's 1905 Restaurant @ 425 Front Street, Beaufort, NC - (252) 728-2133. Both are a short walk from Inlet Inn.
Blue Moon Bistro is also a nice casual dinner spot just down the street @ 119 Queen Street, Beaufort, NC (252) 728-5800. If you like BBQ Roland's BBQ is a short drive up Live Oak @ 1507 Live Oak St., Beaufort, NC 252 728 1953. Bon Appetit.
Beaufort Grocery Co
117 Queen St, Beaufort, NC 28516
Blue Moon Bistro is easily the "don't miss" meal in Beaufort. Beaufort Grocery is decent, but in a different category.
We have owned a 2nd home in Pine Knoll Shores for 22 years. In Beaufort Blue Moon Bistro is hands down the best evening dining in Beaufort (our opinion) as well as one of our top four favorites inclusive of Morehead City & Atlantic Beach. Make sure you call for a reservation.
Regarding cstlgrl71's comment regarding the hostess?????? Everyone working in the restaurant has always been friendly, courteous & professional to us. Sorry you had a bad experience.
Beaufort Grocery is good for us for lunch in the spring and fall when we go over to Beaufort by our boat.
I hope you enjoy your time there.
Blue Moon Bistro
119 Queen St, Beaufort, NC 28516
re: NXS
NXS: You and the others who are lauding Blue Moon Bistro as "the best" are killing me! We'll only be in Beaufort for one night and it happens to be Monday night....and the Bistro is closed!! Oh, well, the Grocery sounds like a pretty good consolation prize and we plan to go there. Thanks, everyone for your help.
Blue Moon Bistro
119 Queen St, Beaufort, NC 28516
re: FarFar
Sorry about the Monday night closure, you did not mention this in your first post.
Within walking distance is http://www.frontstreetgrillatstillwat..., call to make sure they are open on Monday ( make a reservation), also they have outdoor dining with a pleasant view of the Beaufort waterfront!
Dinner at Beaufort Grocery is average at best in our opinion.
If you wish to drive a maximum of 15 minutes please advise & I will hook you up with a great restaurant on the ocean with 2 for 1 specials on Monday nites!
re: NXS
Had an a very nice meal at Stillwater last night....local grouper, crusted with japanese breadcrumbs and sauted with a light mustard sauce and jasmine rice. It was very, very good. Sat on the deck at the Rhum Bar overlooking the water and the boats. Very nice! Also had a glass of wine and some cheese and crackers at Cru Wine Bar, which is a great addition to Beufort.
Front Street Grill at Stillwater
300 Front St Ste 5, Beaufort, NC 28516
I have not been in awhile but I have always really enjoyed Aqua.
re: LBD
Is Front St. Grill located on the building side of Front St. and Stillwater across the street by the water. Sounds confusing on their website. I have not been to Beaufort, NC is several years. Do you pronounce it like Bo or Beu.
Front Street Grill at Stillwater
300 Front St Ste 5, Beaufort, NC 28516
re: Littleman
The retaurant is Front Street Grill at Stillwater, on the waterfront. See the website in my previous post.
Pronounced Bofort.
Front Street Grill
37 E Front St, Garland, NC 28441
Front Street Grill at Stillwater
300 Front St Ste 5, Beaufort, NC 28516
re: NXS
Best we can remember is that the Front Street Grill is pretty good...good service.
North Carolinians pronounce the word Beaufort correctly.................Bofort.
Another downtown Morehead City option just across the highrise (5 minutes from all the Beaufort suggestions) is Shephard's Point...owned by the same folks who own Beaufort Grocery. Shephard's Point is much more desirable for dinner than BG.......and they have the best beef tartar I've ever had.
Sharpies in Beaufort used to be good, but they changed chefs a few years ago (might have again since then). We went once and could tell the chef was different. Upon inquiring to this it was confirmed that they had a new boss in the back. That was our last trip. Sad, as the former chef put out the best beef carpacio I've ever had. I love raw beef when served with great condiments. This carpacio was outstanding. The new chef at Sharpies didn't even offer the dish. Sad.
Front Street Grill
37 E Front St, Garland, NC 28441
re: wellfedred
You are spot on welledred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Island Grill is one of our favorites & only 10 minutes from our place in Pines Knoll Shores. We ate there two Tuesday's ago. Make sure to make a reservation.
If Far Far wants to drive 10 minutes to Morehead City, our favorite is Williams. Again suggest making a reservation.
re: wellfedred
Island Grill is fantastic! Especially their 2 for 1's on Monday & Tuesday nights! Make a reservation. The place is tiny, but the turn over is quick. Williams is also fantastic, but they too, are getting ready to shut their doors :( And in the words of NXS, Stillwater is AVERAGE AT BEST, but I do recommend them for cocktails at their Rhum Bar outside overlooking Taylors Creek.
Does anyone recall the name of a restaurant in Beaufort that was huge and white and served a pretty great Shrimp Burger? Last I recall it had closed. I went there probably in the mid 90s or so. I think it was near the Maritime museum. It was the Dockhouse though it may have had House in the title. I'm struggling with this one.
re: burgeoningfoodie
Was it the Beaufort House? Right there on the boardwalk just down from the Dockhouse? I don't recall them having a shrimp burger per se but it was a pretty big restaurant and one of the finer dining options there in the late 80s to 90s I guess.
While we are going down memory lane, my time living in Morehead and Beaufort pre-dates my foodie days so when i think about Beaufort dining I mostly recall eating at Mike's on Front Street across from the water. Nothing fancy or memorable about the food but the place was an absolute institution for the lunchtime county government crowd. My favorite place way back then was Spouter's Inn--back then they used to put sprouts on everything and I could get non-alcoholic pineapple cocunut drinks as a kid. It was great. The best restaurant around then though was at the Cedars Inn which used to be open for dinner. That's where folks went for the prom / anniversary and, if not there, the Galley Stack over at Spooners Creek. I guess it's progress but I really miss the Crystal Coast of the mid 80s.
re: Guilty Gourmand
Maybe but it has since been renamed and I don't know what to or the address.
We're back from our travels. Stayed at the Inlet Inn last Monday night and had dinner at the Beaufort Grocery. The four of us loved it! The ambiance, the service and the food were all top-notch. I had that evening's special.... flash-fried whole flounder. It was fresh and perfectly cooked. I ate the whooole thing. Thanks again for all your recommendations.
re: FarFar
How was the Inlet Inn. Did you go to any other Beaufort restaurants. Did you go to Blue Moon. Thanks.
Blue Moon Cafe
310 Hay St, Fayetteville, NC 28301
re: Littleman
The Inlet Inn was comfortable, clean and convenient. Very friendly staff and had rooms with balconies overlooking the waterfront. We enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to try other restaurants in the area. We arrived in town about 3:30 pm Monday afternoon and had to be on the road by 8:00 am Tuesday in order to get to the Cedar Island/Ocracoke ferry in time for our 9:30 am reservation. The Inn provided a continental breakfast. Loved Beaufort and wished we had planned to stay several days. Monday night was the only time we had for a meal and the Blue Moon was closed.

We just recently returned from a trip to Beaufort. There weren't any recent posts on the area, and I didn't get any responses prior to our trip. Anyway, since a lot of the restaurants where we ate were mentioned here, I thought I would provide a 2012 update.
We enjoyed all of the dinners we had in Beaufort, but in order of our preference:
1. Blue Moon Bistro. This was really an exceptional restaurant. We almost didn't go here because my husband has a life threatening cheese allergy, and many of their dishes contain cheese. We were concerned that he wouldn't be able to find anything he could eat. As it turned out, because everything is made to order, they were able to make suggestions to change their dishes to accommodate his allergy. We shared a fantastic tempura battered soft shell crab. I enjoyed a grouper special (served with ravioli, asparagus, and a vidalia onion sauce). My husband had a tuna special with a corn risotto. We shared a a turbinado ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious and presented beautifully.
2. Aqua. Delicious small plates and very reasonably priced sangria and wine choices. This also happened to be the least expensive dinner that we ate out.
3. Beaufort Grocery. Here we shared a tuna napoleon appetizer and a flounder special (flash fried with an apricot glaze). Again, delicious
4. Front Street Grill. We ordered several appetizers here to share rather than entrees. The food was good, but not as exceptional or memorable as the others on the list. Lovely outdoor seating.
Also, we never ate at Finz, but did go there twice for drinks. They also have lovely waterfront seating, which (unlike Front Street) was non smoking. The drinks here were good (excellent mojito) and well priced. Very friendly service.
All in all a successful trip, and a great assortment of restaurants in a small town. Pricing is what i would expect in a beach town, but higher quality food that in many beach restaurants.

Milking the Cash Cows: NSD Linda Toupin's Take on Money Management
Written by The Scribbler
It's always fun to browse through Mary Kay NSD websites and see what constitutes "money management" training. Naturally, when I came across the "Fall Retreat Money Management Slides" on NSD Linda Toupin's website, I was interested. "Wow, an NSD that's actually teaching her National Area how to avoid debt? How nifty is that?" At least, that's what I thought until I read the very first slide:
Face palm. Sigh. Roll eyes. Pour a stiff Pepsi. All of the above.

Henry Raddick, Amazon Reviewer
I recently spent some time reading the Amazon book reviews of Henry Raddick. If you're unfamiliar with this reviewer, you should definitely take the time to acquaint yourself with his work. Rumor has it that Raddick is actually a pseudonym for none other than Prince Charles, a rumor which the Prince vociferously denies. Last year Raddick, or whoever he really is, was involved in a more outright hoax: impersonating Andrew Lloyd Webber on Amazon. Unfortunately, all of Raddick's reviews as Webber have been yanked by Amazon, though the Register has managed to resurrect a few of them.

Differential response is an alternative to the traditional investigations in child welfare for accepted reports of abuse or neglect. In most states, for low- to moderate-risk accepted reports of child maltreatment, differential response focuses on partnering with families to provide services that meet their needs while dismissing the labels of perpetrator and victim and removing the determination or finding that is often required by statute.
Many communities are using differential response as a way to enhance their child welfare system to avoid creating adversarial relationships with families and increase their voluntary engagement in services.
Looking for The National Quality Improvement Center on Differential Response in Child Protective Services (QIC-DR)? - Click Here
Child abuse and neglect reports vary significantly. For example, an isolated incident of inadequate supervision is not comparable to repeatedly hitting a toddler for misbehaving. Nor is either of these the same as the sexual exploitation of a young person by his/her parent.
In traditional child protective services systems, without differential response, there is only one response to all of those reports. Child welfare workers investigate the allegation that results in a formal disposition indicating whether or not maltreatment occurred. Currently, research findings indicate that this single approach is not effective in all types of reports of maltreatment.
That's why differential response, also referred to as "dual track," "multiple track" or "alternative response," has emerged. It is an approach that allows child protective services to respond in multiple ways to abuse and neglect allegations. The ways in which differential response is practiced varies; however, generally, for high risk reports, an investigation ensues while for low- and moderate-risk cases with no immediate safety concerns, a family assessment is conducted which gauges the family's needs and strengths. Research shows that these families who receive an assessment rather than an investigation are more likely to be receptive to and engaged in the receipt of services when they are approached in a non-adversarial, non-accusatory manner.
The Kempe Center's national initiative is exploring differential response to provide the field with comprehensive information and resources. Our initiative has expanded to include technical assistance and training for states, tribes and other jurisdictions on the design, launch, implementation and evaluation of differential response.
In 2006, Merkel-Holguin, et al. conducted a national survey on differential response in child welfare. Core elements were identified in order to clearly define and distinguish differential response from the multitude of child protection reforms across the nation's state and county child welfare systems. These core elements have been slightly adapted over time.
The core elements common across child welfare agencies that practice differential response include:
Use of multiple, discrete tracks of intervention when screening in and responding to maltreatment reports; these tracks are codified in statute, policy and/or protocols.
The Kempe Center has partnered with Walter R. McDonald & Associates, Inc. and the Institute of Applied Research on a five year, federally funded evaluation of Differential Response in Child Protective Services.

The Differential Response (DR) Implementation Resource Kit is a resource for child welfare jurisdictions that are considering or planning for DR implementation and are interested in ways that others have approached the implementation process. The Resource Kit provides readers with information on the various ways that jurisdictions have conducted their implementation processes, including the basic design features for DR implementation, and sections organized around the following topics:
• Policy
• Practice
• Implementation Processes
• Communications
• Evaluation
The Resource Kit provides extensive information on the DR implementation processes of jurisdictions across the United States. Each of the five sections includes a matrix of survey items asked of 16 jurisdictions with currently operational DR systems. Each section also includes a narrative analysis of the matrix, as well as an electronic web folder, as part of the Resource Kit Document Library, which includes documents that are either publicly available or were shared by the surveyed jurisdictions for public use. Some sections include additional tools or resources that can assist jurisdictions with their planning processes, such as the DR Legislative Language Matrix (in the Policy Section) and the Communications Materials Matrix (in the Communications Section).

TT fountain turret
anyone other than me ever notice that the blue fountain tower/turret/laser shoots much farther than the purple one?
I can't say how many games I have lost and won because of the fact that a player can stand at the edge of the blue spawn circle, aggro the super minions, then let the laser kill them all. if you're the purple team and the blue team does this when you would attempt to kill their nexus tower. it doesn't happen because not even 1 minion is going to tank it for you. This is just retarded because when you attempt the same thing on purple side, the minions will drop aggro and attack your nexus tower. also if you look closely the blue laser DOES shoot farther than the purple one. Don't say otherwise until you actually LOOK at it in a custom game or something. you will notice the blue laser attack range is about at the bottom of the staircase whilst the purple one will only range from the top of said stairs.
just played a match pretty much even on kills through the whole game but our team had at least 50+ more farm than anyone on the blue team, in addition, our team had 6 dragons and their team had 0. we had more items. but we lost because it was impossible to kill their tower because we would get killed trying. ****ing....annoying. No team with that much more farm should have to deal with this ****.
easy solutions: 1) move the ****ed tower in TT to the opposite side of the nexus 2) move nexus and tower out farther so that minions can't be aggroed into the fountain laser. 3) make the minions attack only structures while in the enemy base. 1st option probably the best, but riot will just ignore TT issues and continue to neglect TT players.
Angered Bump.
WELCOME TO THE TWISTED TREELINE riots red headed step child
Yah, it's been like this for as long as I can remember. I just try and remember as I get into game if I'm on the ****tty side or not.
I've gotten away with some bull**** Singed/Voli flips under purple fountain and gotten lazer raped without even touching the blue steps...
Yes this fountain needs to be fixed so bad!
Riot why do you hate on our 3s?! Get more serious about twisted treeline and make tons happy!
One other thing FIX 3s jungles its wayy harder then jungling in 5s come on riot keep up with this runt of the litter!
I've noticed something similar today. It might just be us, but it's probably worth checking out.
This is for TT discussion, though, and this might not be a design fault; have you tried filing this in the Bug Reports forum?
I have been playing for about 1.5 years, and I can say that the lasers were not always like this. But I have definitely seen in the recent months this exact problem. It is infuriating to have the enemy team dive up to your top steps without one laser tap whereas you can be at the very bottom step on the left nexus' side and start getting ripped up by it. And these volibear/singed flings on the right nexus side have certainly lost my team multiple games.
This must be a bug because it is in no way fair. Please adjust the laser range on both turrets to halfway up the stairs or above or wherever you want as long as they are equal. As it stands, the left side has a real advantage over the right, and this is not only unfair but frustrating.
I've personally never noticed but i always hear of blue having more range
ABSOLUTELY. Make the lasers even.
I remember when the fountain lazer could hit you when you were close to the inhibitors. They're fine now they don't differ in any way.

Open Government Initiative Blog
Sunshine Week: In Celebration of Open GovernmentPosted byon March 12, 2013 at 4:43 PM EST
This article was originally published on whitehouse.gov
This post is the first in a Sunshine Week series on whitehouse.gov. Sunshine Week is a national initiative to celebrate and focus on government transparency and open government.
As President Barack Obama has stated, "Openness will strengthen our democracy, and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government." This week, we celebrate Sunshine Week -- an appropriate time to discuss the importance of open government and freedom of information, and to take stock of how far we have come, and think about what more can be done.
Over the last few weeks, we have asked for your feedback on some of our open government efforts, and you have responded, whether in meetings with civil society or viaQuora, or a web form on WhiteHouse.gov. We thank you for taking the time to talk to us about this important work, and we hear you – and we will continue to consult with you.
In the spirit of Sunshine Week, the White House will highlight one initiative a day which demonstrates the Obama Administration's continued commitment to open and accessible government. Today, we will focus on progress made improving the administration of the FOIA. As Justice Louis Brandeis wrote, "sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." In our democracy, FOIA, which encourages accountability through transparency, is the most prominent expression of a profound national commitment to ensuring an open government.Learn more about
Fulfilling our Commitment to Open GovernmentPosted byon February 26, 2013 at 11:32 AM EST
Since taking office, President Obama has made clear that his Administration is committed to Open Government—that the Nation is made stronger by making the Federal Government accountable to citizens and by giving those citizens opportunities to participate in their government.
That's why, in September 2011, President Obama, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, and the leaders of six other governments launched the global Open Government Partnership – a global effort to encourage transparent, effective, and accountable governance driven by citizens and civil society around the world. Demonstrating the Nation's domestic commitment to the Partnership, President Obama launched the U.S. National Action Plan on Open Government that same day, saying:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/image/quote_rule.png); background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat repeat;">
"We pledge to be more transparent at every level -- because more information on government activity should be open, timely, and freely available to the people. We pledge to engage more of our citizens in decision-making -- because it makes government more effective and responsive. We pledge to implement the highest standards of integrity -- because those in power must serve the people, not themselves. And we pledge to increase access to technology -- because in this digital century, access to information is a right that is universal."
Lisa Ellman is Chief Counselor for the Open Government Partnership and Senior Advisor to the Chief Technology Officer and Nick Sinai is Deputy Chief Technology Officer.Learn more about
The Code for Livability Rocks OnPosted byon July 27, 2012 at 11:45 AM EST
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of participating in the first Code for Livability event in Washington, DC. An incredible group of policy makers, community leaders, and web developers came together with the purpose of developing strategies to sustain communities across the country. From this first meeting, amazing ideas and conceptual designs for smart-phone applications were generated with the goal of bringing environmental sustainability to the forefront of peoples' everyday lives.
This weekend in Denver, Colorado, coders and designers will build on the success of the Code for Livability event, converging on the Uncubed coworking space to participate in the Colorado Code for Communities civic "hackathon". One of the first civic hacking events in the region, this event will bring together non-profits, local foundations, local and regional government agencies, Federal agencies, and private local tech startups and entrepreneurs. "Hackathons" like this one bring together a number of people to build web and mobile applications and other products to help improve communities. They happen in one whirlwind weekend and this one will result in two or three winning teams and applications.
The Growing Open Government MovementPosted byon June 22, 2012 at 3:39 PM EST
The open government movement—which has emphasized transparency, collaboration, and participation at the Federal, state, and local levels—is finding increasing application on the international and diplomatic stage, as evidenced most recently by the launch of the Open Government Platform, which aims to promote government transparency and citizen engagement on a global scale.
The Open Government Platform (OGPL) is a global initiative founded by the governments of India and the United States to make more government data, documents, tools, and processes publicly accessible through development and distribution of a freely available, open source on-line platform. By making these data available in useful machine-readable formats, the OGPL platform allows developers, analysts, media, and academia to gain new insights and develop novel applications that will enhance delivery of information and services to citizens and enable more informed decision-making.
At last week's U.S.-India Joint Commission Meeting on Science and Technology, OSTP Director and Presidential science and technology advisor John Holdren and Dr. Sam Pitroda, Adviser to Prime Minister of India on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovation, launched the second phase of the OGPL, which makes the platform freely available to other governments. As OGPL becomes more widely adopted, it will allow developers and civil society groups use government data to create innovative applications that help citizens and governments work together across the world. Because OGPL uses an open-source method of development, the entire OGPL community will be able to contribute to future technology enhancements, open government solutions, and community-based technical support.
Also last week, in an agreement negotiated by the Indian government, it was announced that Rwanda has signed on as the first of two pilot countries. The United States is currently reviewing possible candidates and is expected to announce the second pilot country soon. Over the next six months, the joint U.S.- India team that created the OGPL will work with additional countries to unleash the power of open government using the worldwide open source community.
India and the United States have already committed to use OGPL for their respective data.gov portals and the US data.gov portal is already using portions of OGPL functionality. OGPL has released the open source code for the project, and both the United States and India expect to deploy OGPL this year based on feedback from the open source community.
The Open Government Platform exemplifies the belief that transparency, participation, and collaboration are universal concepts applicable to all levels of government in countries around the world.

Helping our Nation's Cities Through Open Government and InnovationPosted byon June 20, 2012 at 4:13 PM EST
Cities around the country are facing challenges, from increasing service demands, to tight budgets, to aging infrastructure. But city leaders are increasingly finding new and innovative ways to tackle these challenges, in part by harnessing the inherent power of the citizens that live there.
Last week I was excited to join mayors in Orlando, Florida, for the 80th meeting of the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM). I joined San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, former U.S. Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra, and Jen Pahlka, executive director of Code for America, to launch the Open Government Innovation Partnership. The Partnership's premise is simple: a founding group of city governments embrace a set of high-level open innovation principles, pledge city-specific commitments for implementing those principles, agree to share best practices, and invite a coalition of third-party organizations to assess progress. As more cities join the Partnership, we'll see a nationwide network of innovative of cities creating shareable tools that will help government innovate like never before.
The Power of Open Education DataPosted byon June 8, 2012 at 4:25 PM EST
On Tuesday, Vice President Biden, U.S. Education Department Secretary Arne Duncan, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray hosted a roundtable with college presidents who pledged to provide clear, useful information to all incoming college students and their families, as part of their financial aid package, so that they can "know before they owe."
The President has said keeping college affordable is a shared responsibility. That means the Federal government continuing to make Pell Grants available for low-income students and keeping loans available and affordable for all students who choose to borrow for college. It means states doing their fair share to fund colleges and universities instead of forcing schools to pass funding cuts onto students in the form of higher tuition. And it means postsecondary institutions innovating to find new ways to get students – including low-income students – across the finish line while keeping their costs down.
But it also means students and families voting with their feet – making choices about where to apply and where to enroll based on information about quality and affordability, such as graduation and loan default rates. That can help consumers get good value for their money, and put some competitive pressure on schools to provide a top-notch education for less.
Technology, data, and entrepreneurs can help with college affordability—as well as help address our national priorities in K-12 education.Learn more about Education, Technology

how do you organize recipes?
- c
- cleopatra999 Sep 5, 2012 02:02 PM
I do a lot of my recipe researching on line, have a few ethnic email newsletters sent to me and have a subscription to Food Network magazine and of course there is this site.
When I find a recipe I don't know what to do with it. Right now I have separate folders in my email (for Italian, Mexican, Thai etc). I have started on Pinterest (my boards are apps, mains, sides, dessert), but I cannot Pin every recipe I come across as the links are not there. For the magazine I fold down corners.
Does anyone have any unique way to organize all these? Printing it all off is not an option for me, I would prefer to have an online library and a hard copy library. Not surprisingly I don't want to spend hours and hours or a bunch of money. Just curious what you all do when you come across that 'ooo, yummy! I want to make that, but can't right this week recipe'.
Pepperplate.com. It has truly changed my life in the kitchen. You can add any recipe you like electronically, categorize it the way you like, make notes, etc. It's free and amazing. I transferred all of my bookmarks and recipes from sites that didn't have good search engines, like FoodandWine.com, etc. I still have my recipe box on Epicurious because it's searchable, but for ALL other recipes online I use Pepperplate.
re: biondanonima
Great rec, I have been playing with Pepperplate for a couple of days and it's wonderful. One thing I particularly like is that when you import a recipe you can modify it as you like. So all my printed out recipes from web sites with hand-scrawled notes can be put into Pepperplate with those annotations.
Pepperplate.com is one option but it doesn't take care of those recipes on dogeared magazine pages. I have a collection of cookbooks so I don't want a lot of magazines cluttering up the place. I scan magazine recipes as PDF documents and store them on my home computer. CDs are cheap so I make a backup CD periodically so that I don't lose the files if I experience a crash.
re: biondanonima
quick look at pepperplate, looks like what I am looking for! and you are correct, with Food network magazine being my main one, I should be able to find on line. way easier than scanning, although another decent option.
Love that there is an app for it too, do you use that biandanonima?
re: cleopatra999
I actually don't use the app, just the website - I don't have an iPad, and I so rarely need to use it on my smartphone that I haven't bothered. I'm sure it's great though - it's a great site all around.
re: biondanonima
I'm not familiar with pepperplate, so I can't offer a comparison, but you can now add online recipes (including links to posts here on chowhound) and personal recipes to Eat Your Books. EYB is primarily for cookbook indexing and search, and it charges an annual subscription fee, but if you have a lot of cookbooks, it might be worth investigating as the primary value is to have an index to all of your recipes in one place. In addtion to many cookbooks, EYB also indexes some websites and some magazines.
I use macgourmet on my imac and my iphone and ipad. My device apps just sync with my desktop version. So convenient to have all my recipes when I'm out shopping if I decide to make something spur of the moment. I have the recipes themselves organized in a variety of folders in the app. Everything from the name of the source, to courses or type of food. So Indian, Mexican ect to preserving, fermentation, yeast breads, cakes, salads, pork ect.
I use Living Cookbook: http://www.livingcookbook.com/. I am usually able to find most of my hard copy recipes online and then they are easy to copy into LC.
Ages ago I started keeping my recipe links or self-written personal recipes at www.allrecipes.com so I don't foresee going through the pain of changing to a new site anytime soon! I like it cause I can write little notes about what I changed from the original recipe.
I do love Pinterest but mostly use it to find new recipes and once I make them then it goes to my allrecipes account with comments and all. I'm slowly trying to make specific boards for all the new things I make so I can have an easy visual of things to make if I have no idea what to cook one night. Maybe someday I'll add all the old recipes I made to the appropriate boards.
I guess the paranoid in me fears a website shutting down completely without notice so I do print the recipes I find amazing and keep those in a binder.
I keep my recipes on my hard drive in Word format. I back them up on 2 different flashdrives, just in case. I have the recipes organized the way many cookbooks would be. I have categories like main dishes, side dishes, desserts, dishes I want to try. I have several sub categories. Some of my dishes are in more than 1 category so they are duplicated but not too much.
I don't trust bookmarking because sometimes the recipe just goes away or is moved. I want them on my hard drive. When I cook, I print a recipe, use it in the kitchen and then I throw it away. I do try to go back to the computer and make notes or changes when I find an improvement.
Someday, I will join the 21st century and keep them on the cloud. That would enable easier sharing and accessing them from multiple devices. I haven't been in a hurry to do so because I don't have a phone that would take advantage of it.
There are lots of other ways to do it and you will certainly hear about them on this thread.
I have 4000 - 5000 recipes. Contact me at email@example.com. Maybe we can share some recipes.
I have over 2,000 recipes and I use Cook'n software (www.cookn.com). It is the most comprehensive recipe software that I have seen. Not only does it store your recipes by category but you can search online for a recipe and then automatically capture it to Cook'n. It also gives nutritional info, creates shopping lists and much more. Check it out.
Keep them on Word in folders on my MacBook. Keep them in Pages in folders on my iPad. I only use my iPad now,never have to bother printing anything out....have a wonderful under the cupboard holder for it.
re: lafarrell
My experience is with zip list is the entire recipe is usually not there and then when i have gone back to make the recipe, it is no longer here.
I have the same paranoid fear that others have mentioned - that a recipe or site will just disappear --- also - when I do cook from a recipe (which is often) - I prefer having it printed out so that I can have it on the counter (or taped to the cabinet above the counter) as I cook. So I print out everything when I see something interesting to save for the future. I have a few manilla folders that are labeled on the front with either desserts, salads, soups, desserts, drinks, chicken, meat, fish, apps, hors d'oeuvres, etc, most folders have three or more different topics within and each topic has the various recipes clipped together within the folder. Folders become bulky and are rubberbanded to keep together. It has been working for me. Oh the love of food and cooking!
re: smilingal
I share the disappearing site fear, but I like having both a hard copy (for safe-keeping and for cooking from, as well as making notes) and a soft copy so I can access the recipe from wherever.
If I find a recipe I like, I'll use my "print to pdf" program to save the print version as a pdf file on my computer hard drive (and back it up with my regular backups). If I'm going to actually make the recipe, then I can print it out from the pdf file. This way, if a recipe moves or is deleted from a website, I still have it, and I can search my recipes folder as needed.
I'd like to be more organized, so I may check out Pepperplate, but minimally, with this method I have easy access to the printed recipe.
I'm a little surprised no one mentioned Evernote, (have I overlooked a post?) which keeps copies on the desktop synced with the cloud so that one doesn't need to worry about backups, clips whole web pages or just highlighted sections, organizes PDF, .doc, .docx files and its own internal note-taker, accepts scans, uses folders and subfolders, has an overlay (called Clearly) that makes cluttered web pages easier to read, prints from the web or the desktop device, and has mobile apps and widgets, all cross-platform so you can use an iPhone, an Android phone, an iPad or one of the newer Android tablets *and* all your laptops, and desktops at work, school or home, all in sync, and all able to add new recipes on the fly.
re: PesachBenSchlomo
I have been using Now Your Cooking for more than ten years. All kinds of ways to add recipes, including the thousands already in this format or one that is compatible. I have digital subscriptions to more than one magazine and to websites so I just clip and import the recipe to my database in NYC. I can organize into particular cookbooks, now working out of my Thanksgiving cookbook, make usage notes, keep records of former menus, create shopping lists. Easy use, flexible to fit your needs, likes and dislikes and FANTASTIC support. I also sometimes clip to Evernote and have enjoyed using the Bittman apps for my new IPAD. I have used five or six different cooking databases, but once I found NYC I stayed with it. I have worked out a way not to have to print recipes almost at all so I love that. Another user talked about a small scanner that would more easily convert my cookbook recipes (not a cookbook fan) and I plan to explore that in the future.

Search suspended for missing Menlo Park woman
Authorities have suspended the search on rugged Mount Tamalpais for a 33-year-old Menlo Park woman missing for more than a week, as her parents urged anyone with information to contact forest rangers.
Marin County Sheriff's and California State Parks officials say a lack of firm leads and new evidence prompted investigators on Monday to call off the search for Magdalena Glinkowski.
Glinkoski was caught by security video showing her walking across a nearby parking lot on Sunday, March 30. Her rental car was later discovered there.
Her parents, Jacek and Natalia Glinkowski, flew in from Boston to help in the search. During a Monday press conference the mother said her daughter is not someone who would give up in a difficult situation.
A rescue team led volunteers and dogs on a ground and air search for Glinkoski over the weekend.

Why does my ex still talk to me ?
Why does my ex still talk to me ?she dumped me and she has a bf, I tried my best to move on by going to other countries with friends to get my mind off her but when I came back right when I got on AIM she instantly imed me and we talked for awhile.i try my best to not talk to her but she always tries to have a conversation with me.at first I thought maybe she misses me and stuff but when I ask her about her boyfriend she said she's very happy and she is planning on moving with him when he moves to the states.but she still intends to keep in contact with me.we dated for 5 years.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Five years is a long time. She most likely still feels attached to you. A new relationship can be scary, and I would bet it is reassuring for her to speak with you because you represent familiarity, comfort, and love.It is possible that she still holds a candle for you, but by continuing to confide in you, she is making it difficult for both of you to open yourselves entirely and honestly to other people.In my opinion, either talk with her about it or cut off all communication entirely. You don't deserve to live your life in the grey area, and it sounds to me as though her contact with you is affecting your ability to truly get over her.
What Girls Said 2
Well, either she wants to be close friends with you because you probably had a special place in her heart that she doesn't wanna let go of. Or she's lying and she's not at all happy with her new mate and telling you lies to make it seem all fine and sweet.Hope this helped :)
Thanks it did
What Guys Said 1
Man, she's still talking to you because she has feelings for you. She may be content with her boyfriend but there's still a connection she feels with you and she obviously misses you. I would talk to her and see if you still feel a connection. Good luck man.
Thanks this gave me some insight

By saving two penalties and scoring one himself, Ben Foster was the hero of the Reserves' national playoff against Aston Villa.
However, the England international goalkeeper preferred instead to focus on the season-long efforts of his young colleagues, rather than his own contribution.
"The lads have been fantastic all season and they've won the league and done wonders again today [on Monday]," he told MUTV. "I think we've thoroughly deserved it on the balance of play and the chances we've created. We had a lot of chances.
"They're a great bunch of lads. There are some absolute pearlers in there, some great players and every one of them, their attitude is absolutely fantastic. They give 110 pe rcent in training every day and in games.
"You could see today they were knackered at the end of the game, but they still kept going to the last minute. The fans have made it a great turnout today and it's nice for the lads as well, for a Reserve game, to play in front of a decent crowd at Old Trafford."
Foster's shootout save from James Collins sealed the trophy for United, but his earlier thumping spot-kick proved the decisive conversion. Recounting it, the giant goalkeeper beamed: "There was no doubt, I was putting nothing but laces on that one!"

I started using this lotion last year. I get acne on my face when it comes in contact with oil (even supposedly non-comodegenic oils such as jojoba oil), so I thought that if I switched to an oil-free hand and body lotion, it would cut down on my breakouts, because I tend to rest my face in my hands quite a bit. It worked!! Beyond that, it's January in Michigan, and the skin on my hands is completely healthy! I have no dry patches, and no cracked, bleeding cuticles. I don't have to wear gloves with moisturizer at night any longer! One of my coworkers once suggested that I had to apply lotion to my hands frequently because I used lotion that contained oil, which was "tricking" my hands into not producing enough of their own oil. I scoffed at his theory, but I think he's right. My hands are so soft all of the time, and the only time I have to reapply lotion is after they've been washed with harsh soap (like in a public restroom). This lotion is the best stuff ever! It's not remotely irritating--I now even use it as my face lotion.

I purchased this product along with the shampoo and lotion. All products leave my hair and skin so soft without any film. I needed orgainc herbal, no oil product that wouldn't dry my skin or hair and the Stony Brook products hits the mark.

Every time I eavesdrop on a group of teens - which happens rather frequently, I must say - it really seems that teens live for the Internet. "Add me on Facebook," they'll tell a new friend. "Tweet me and we'll catch up later," replaces a phone call. iTeen Video knows that teens love online communication, but the teens this site features are far more sexually adventurous than your average 18-year-old. Sucking and fucking their way to online infamy, the girls of iTeen Video are well worth checking out.
Tranny Pack bills itself as "the one all access pass for all your favorite tranny websites!" It's hard to believe, though, that a 7-site network with 52 photo and video sets currently on it would fulfill all (or even the majority) of your tranny desires. Sure, there's some hot hardcore action on these sites, but is it enough to make up for high prices and a small content archive? (Answer: probably not.)
From double-anal penetrations to bukkake parties and blowbanging, modern hardcore porn is undeniably over the top. NuGlam, however, aims for a different feel, one that is as glamorous as it is decadent, as sophisticated as it is carnal, and at this goal it once succeeded. Nowadays, however, NuGlam seems desperately in need of a makeover, top to bottom, in order to have it feel like anything but a bad throwback to an 80s porn scene and style that nobody really wants to remember.
The site in question combines two of my favorite things: hard rock and glam rock! So, you've got bands like New York Dolls and T-Rex and The Sweet but don't you wish they'd rock a little harder? More like MC5 or something! Yeah! Imagine Marc Bolan fronting MC5 or Phil Lynott writing songs for The Stooges. That'd be wicked! Oh…UK porn? Niche stuff and regular hardcore? Sounds all right, I guess… not as cool as Lynott and Iggy sharing the stage, but whatever.
Rejoice, gents! If you get off on watching big-dicked brothers take on lily-white sisters, you'll no doubt get a kick out of I Need It Black. Problem is, said kick probably won't last too long. There are simply too many negative aspects holding I Need It Black back from achieving its full potential.
Vivid: you know the name, now get the lowdown on the flagship website of the biggest porn company on the planet. Vivid dot com brings you Jenna Jameson, Lanny Barby, Tera Patrick, Sasha Grey, and Janine in hundreds of high-quality DVD titles. Unfortunately, no downloads are available, forcing you to view the streaming videos directly from your browser window. Will that huge drawback be enough to negate all the obviously positive attributes Vivid can rightfully claim?
If you, like a pal of mine that later turned into a major dickface, can't stand to watch porn containing human penises, you're probably a devoted fan of the girl-on-girl or lesbian niche. Les Archives should then take care of all your sapphic requirements, should it not? Well, dear reader, this site sure shows a lot of promise and contains some very good hardcore teen lesbian content, but there are still a few issues that need addressing. Wanna know what the are? Read on, weary solider, a poon-filled respite is just around the corner.
When one pert-breasted, well-endowed (penally speaking) transsexual hottie just isn't enough and even two won't cut it, why not gather up four lovely he-ladies and quadruple your pleasure with Wild Shemale Orgies. Sitting quite comfortably on the SheMax network of all-transsexual, all-hardcore adult sites, Wild Shemale Orgies gathers up four gorgeous shemales in each scene and presents them with an offer: fuck or walk. Not surprisingly, they all fuck, but not before indulging their flamboyant sides with a rousing game of Twister, foosball, or even a food fight. Talk about fun! (Oh yeah, there's four-way dick-in-ass tranny train fucking, too!)

A May 26 front-page article in The New York Times, with the scary title "Colleges Rattled as Obama Seeks Rating System," began by stating that college presidents are "appalled" by an Obama administration plan that "would compare schools on factors like how many of their students graduate, how much debt their students accumulate and how much money their students earn after graduating."
I am a professor, working at a university. I am also an advocate of using performance measurement to improve organizational performance. Should I feel "rattled" by the administration's effort?
The basic worries the college presidents expressed in the article were that the measurements could have perverse effects. (Sound familiar?)
Two in particular were cited in the article. The first was that measures of how much students on average earn after they graduate would penalize schools that trained more students in liberal arts, where salaries are lower compared to those for students with degrees in finance, and those that prepared students for poorly paid public-service careers such as social work or even teaching. A focus on post-graduation income would distort the behavior of universities towards a more-narrow view of their mission.
The second worry cited was that comparisons of debt load, or the measures of graduation rates and even post-graduation income, would discourage universities from taking a risk on students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Do I share these worries?
I think the bottom line is that neither worry need argue against a performance rating system, if the system is designed correctly. A number of states, in looking at public school test scores, already perform what are called "value added" adjustments. The basic idea is that the scores are adjusted to account for factors that can produce differences in test scores that have nothing to do with the quality of the school. So, for example, schools where most of the kids come from poor families are going to have a harder time showing the same test scores as schools where the students' families are all rich. But the first school may actually be doing a better job –- adding more value -– than the second, and that's the difference we want to measure. Because these techniques often use a kind of statistical analysis that allows controlling for the impact of these irrelevant variables, I have often reminded my students, "This is why God invented multiple regression."
So in the case of the college ratings, if the scores are adjusted to control for percentage of liberal arts majors, emphasis on public service jobs and the economic backgrounds of the students, then the scores we see will come much closer to measuring their intended purpose –- which is to show differences in school teaching quality that influence graduation rates, students indebtedness and so forth. These performance measures can the play the role they are supposed to play for organizations, which is to spur performance improvements. (The administration has, in my view, over-emphasized the politically appealing punitive language about reducing federal funds to low performers, which puts the cart before the horse. Let's get a system working before we start playing around with financial penalties.)
There is, of course, a risk that the government will not introduce a value-added system, in which case the numbers might indeed create the problems about which presidents are worrying and warning. But I am sad that the universities seem to be looking for reasons this system might not work rather than embracing the performance improvement potential ratings can bring. Doctors have done the same thing over the years to try to prevent publication of hospital performance information. Unfortunately, both these efforts smell of special interest, and, although I'm at a university, I cannot endorse them.

I don't recommend Marvin's suggested scheme. One man's responsible citizen is another's annoying activist. Also, it invites a rejoinder: "Let me know when the performance measures include whether the graduate get divorces, raises their offspring, lives with their parents, succumbs to addiction or acquires a criminal record". These will just reflect what one individual thinks a responsible citizen is.
The world penalizes students trained in the liberal arts following graduation. Why should the college be insulated from that hardship? If this information leads to a reduction in education prices in the liberal arts, how is this a bad outcome?
Colleges are their for students and this information should be made available to them prior to selection. If they have done their research, they will already know the starting salary of their chosen career. Those that are afraid of it, do have something to hide. Same with pay for performance in the fed world.
Robert Maynard Hutchins is famous for saying that
"The object of the educational system, taken as a whole, is not to produce hands for industry or to teach the young how to make a living. It is to produce responsible citizens" Let me know when the performance measures include such factors as whether the graduate votes regularly, participates in town meetings and civic affairs, and remains abreast of the important political issues of the day.

My Morning Jacket by My Morning Jacket: Patrick Hallahan [Music]
The guitar and drum portions of my childhood are intertwined. I taught myself how to play drums between the ages of three and seven. Sitting on the side of my bed, using those first drumsticks, I would coordinate my right arm (hi-hat) and my left arm (snare drum) to whatever I was listening to at the time (the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Wild Cherry, Chicago, Billy Joel, Sam & Dave or whatever else my parents had around). Eventually I worked in my right leg (bass drum) and left leg (hi-hat) until I was fully playing along. By the time I actually sat down to a real drum kit, I could already play.
In the summer between third and fourth grade, I met Jim at center court of the gymnasium at St. Martha Catholic School. He had just moved back from Atlanta, and our parents had enrolled both of us in this summer "vacation" church-school session. I think he hated it as much as I did, and we found a mutual joy in changing hymnal lyrics to something more befitting of the moment. (I won't go into what we said, but we were crying with laughter.) A day later, I saw Jim and his sisters walking around the block by my house, found out that we lived right down the street from each other, found out we had the same birthday. The rest was pretty easy.
The first time I met Tom was after he had joined My Morning Jacket, sometime between 1998 and 1999. I was living with Jim and the first drummer, J. Glenn. (Side note: Jim and J. Glenn were consummate thieves of the Robin Hood nature. At the time they had no money, so they would "borrow" things from superstores and better their lives and the lives of those around them. If you listen to "X-mas Curtain," it tells the tale.) So anyway, I heard knocking on the front door, opened it, and in walked Tom and one of the kindest smiles I've ever known. Without knowing him, I immediately liked him. We connected on all things musical and pieced together a wonderful friendship.
I just crossed over the decade mark with the band, so I've been thinking about my first shows quite a bit. My first live experience with My Morning Jacket was three shows in 24 hours. We played Lynagh's in Lexington (opening for NRBQ) on Friday night, drove back to Louisville for some sleep, headed out the next morning for the Nashville River Stages Festival, and back to Louisville to play Headliners that night with VHS or Beta. I had so much fun I couldn't see straight. The feeling of adventure was so intense.
Fast-forward ten years to a headlining set at Forecastle, and the levels of excitement and adventure are still immense. The venue sizes have changed, and we are forever thankful for that, but the feelings that drove us at the beginning of our career are the same feelings that drive us today.

Boulder Faculty Assembly
In its third decade of successful operation the Program Review Panel (PRP) has seen relatively few changes in its charge and procedures. The most recent change in its operations was implemented just a few years ago and mainly addressed schedule changes. To bring PRP up-to-date and streamline its operations, and to make it even more productive in terms of adding relevant tasks to its charge, in addition to removing less meaningful procedures from its operation, the Boulder Faculty Assembly requests that the Provost institute a comprehensive review of the PRP.
