This was my favorite essay from the book. And I think hearing you read it just made it better. :|
I know you ignore these comments, but I thought I'd ask anyway -- Since your paperback has two more essays than your hardcover will you make those two new essays available -- for a minimal fee -- to those who already own your hardcover or do you really think your ruse to make us buy both editions will work?
Wait, so if what Darren says is true, you've tricked us. You've cheated us out of something and given more to the cheap bastards! I guess it doesn't really matter to me though, because I stole your book anyways. Sorry. I'm a klepto. That's my challenge to overcome.
That was so f*&%ing elegant Michael Ian Black. I love how f@&%ing into it you are you f#@%ing make the side table f#&%ing convulse.
You're so f*&%ing awesome.
and elegant.
wait. there are extra essays in the cheaper paperback???? wtf!
FUCK YES! Thank You! You made my fucking day! I nearly choked on the taco i was eating while watching this cuz i was fucking laughing so god-damn fucking much! you like sour cream? Me Too!
MIB! If I wasn't already so invested in being myself, I would want to be you.
Hearing this reading finally made me go out and buy your book (though the buying part involved me having Amazon send it to my brother in Vegas for his birthday, not to me).
This excerpt has made my buddies and I start talking about having a Taco Party. We are taking our time and planning it to be awesome and everyone will be invited :D Will post details and video when we do work it all out.

Since watching the new Rush documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage last Saturday night, I have been on a big Rush kick. This is nothing new because I have loved Rush since I was about 15 when a close friend of mine introduced me their music. The first album I was really into was Permanent Waves, which remains very relevant for me. It's funny what I can write about with ease and what I cannot. It is difficult to write about the people and things that mean a lot to me, that played a big role in shaping me, like Camus, Orwell, Von Balthasar, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Kundera, etc. Rush certainly falls into this pattern.
The very first live concert I ever attended was Rush on their Signals tour and the second was Rush Grace Under Pressure. Both of these remain very memorable. Rush released seven albums in 1980s, beginning with 1980's Permanent Waves and culminating with 1989's Presto. Anyway, this Friday's traditio, in keeping with our '80s summer, is Subdivisions off their Signals album.

Round Up The Usual Blogging Suspects
Posted by admin | Posted in Virginia | Posted on 29-09-2007
This story in the Washington Post …
Esam S. Omeish, a Fairfax County surgeon and Muslim leader who resigned from a Virginia immigration commission after videotapes of him making controversial remarks surfaced on the Internet, said yesterday that he has never promoted violence and accused his critics of perpetrating a "smear campaign" against him. … when video of Omeish speaking at political rallies surfaced Thursday on YouTube, the governor and Omeish agreed that he should step down. Kaine said Omeish's remarks caused him "concern" and might distract from the work of the immigration commission.
… concludes this way:
"It trashes the reputation of a well-respected Muslim leader based on hype and hysteria," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations. "It unfolded just the way I thought it would. Bloggers use any opportunity they can to marginalize American Muslims and their leaders. It's political theater."
It's bloggers' fault? Tough to imagine any credible blogger enticing Omeish to rally for the "the jihad way." Sorry, on this one he marginalized himself. Bloggers aren't the story, they're just reporting it.

Hidden Value in Boring Courses
posted January 31, 2014 2:09 PM by Emily Boyd
I'm about to say something that may shock you. Not all classes in library school are riveting. One in particular is considered by many to be the most boring class they could possibly imagine. This course has only recently been removed from the list of core courses and I'm here to suggest that when you come to GSLIS, you take that boring course. This infamously boring course is LIS 403 Evaluation of Information Services. Perhaps the name is a giveaway for why it might be considered a bit of a snooze. In truth, no it wasn't my favorite class to sit through, for three hours, in the evenings, on Mondays, but I am now applying so much of what I learned to my current library job.
Professor Mary Wilkins Jordan did her best to keep classes lively and interesting, and considering that the subject matter is dry, I'd say she succeeded most of the time. The real value of the class was the semester long assignment to create a research proposal for a theoretical evaluation. Some students worked on hypothetical situations they would like to research in a future place of employment, basically just doing the assignment to get it done. While I'm sure there is value to that, I found designing an evaluation based on my current place of employment to be much more interesting and useful. In fact, we are in the process of actually doing the evaluation I wrote for class! It's been a challenge to edit the initial survey I created from an assignment to something that we will actually be putting out to the community, but I'm so excited to be working on this project.
LIS 403 gave me the tools and the background knowledge to get this survey going. When the project is completed, my library will have done a thorough evaluation for the first time in more years than anyone can remember. Moving into a future where libraries serve a different role and budgets keep getting cut, it will be extremely valuable to have taken the time to ask our community what resources they value most at the library.
What this all really gets back to is the theme of applying the GSLIS education to real world scenarios. Even though LIS 403 Evaluation of Information Services is no longer a required class, I would advise everyone to at least consider it. Like many classes, the real value comes from being able to see how it will help you in the work place. This semester as I take LIS 458 Database Management and LIS 415 Information Organization, I am again reminded that what I'm learning in school is only as valuable as how I'm able to translate it into the real world. Prepping students to enter the workforce is something that Simmons, in my opinion, does incredibly well.

Turkey's Greatest Untapped Potential: Women
Building hospital gurneys at the Tautmann factory in Turkey.
This report, "Female Labor Force Participation in Turkey: Trends, Determinants and Policy Framework" was carried out by Turkey's State Planning Organization and the World Bank. It investigates why, on average, fewer women in Turkey hold or are looking for jobs than in the EU and the OECD, and why the proportion has been decreasing.
Main Findings
The reason why the share of women holding or seeking employment in Turkey has been decreasing over the past two decades is partly because women migrated from rural areas—where they engage in unpaid agriculture—to urban areas where most of them stay at home. Young men in rural areas are moving from agricultural employment into better-paid jobs in manufacturing and services. This shift away from subsistence agriculture causes a withdrawal of women from the labor force.
"I want to work to provide a better future for my kids. To send them to extra courses for the examinations and to help with their examinations at school, to gain my economic independence, in order to help my family and my husband. I want my kids to have the best education possible. So, I would like to use the money I earn for their school needs…"
—Young Married Woman from Istanbul
Many women in Turkey would like to work, but they face a number of difficulties that prevent them from doing so. For example:
- Women with low levels of education, especially in urban areas, only have access to jobs that offer low wages and harsh working conditions. This creates a lack of incentive to work now that the returns would be low both in terms of earnings and professional development; and
- Social and cultural constraints prevent women from working, as does as the high cost of childcare.
Increasing the number of women who are actively employed in Turkey would reduce poverty, increase national economic output, and lead to improvements in social indicators like health and children's education outcomes. If six or seven percent more Turkish women would start full-time jobs, this would reduce poverty by around 15 percent.
Policy Implications
The Government of Turkey recently introduced a program that subsidizes employers' social security contributions for newly hired women for up to five years.
The government can also encourage more women to work by:
- Creating job opportunities for first time job seekers;
- Providing affordable childcare; and
- Sustaining investments in education.

Hi all,
I'm trying to install on a DS20, everything went OK until I rebooted and
I got a kernel panic almost straight away. I can't really read the
interesting part of the panic as it scrolls off the screen far too
quickly and if there's a way to scroll up and read it I don't know it.
I've got another DS20 running gentoo via the now defunct alpha-sources
so I'm guessing it could be something to do with the 2.6 kernel on this
Any ideas?

- 0Aug 19, '09 by AmandaDonaldwell, since they are on blackboard and blackboard isnt supposed to accessable until friday, im assuming they will overlook the prior instructions to bring them to class. im gonna try to do it super early on friday morning...i was confused by why blackboard is starting so late this semester
- 0Aug 19, '09 by matchsticktgtSeems like it would have been better for you to have gotten the vaccine - it was "only" $108-110 (chicken pox)
- 0Aug 20, '09 by JustMeHereQuote from AmandaDonaldLabcorp or the nurse that gave you your titers could have messed up. When I was pregnant and had my glucose test the nurse forgot to file under my insurance. Labcorp charged me $600! I called labcorp and straightened it out.just so you know, i could not prove that id had chicken pox and it was impossible to get my health records so i had to have 2 titers done...IT DOES NOT SAVE MONEY!!!!!! they charged me 424.82 for two titers,,,,i almost fainted...i just read a reply above mine that said someone got a titer for 25.00, im wondering if labcorp charged me wrong.....hmmm
- 0Aug 20, '09 by fesha88I went through crazy loops to get my titer for chicken pox. Labcorp said it would be 400.00 under my doctor's account, and health insurance won't cover unless it is 'a medical necessity'. After calling several people some guy at a doctor's office told me to go to St. Vincent's occupational health clinic. $40 for the titer! Also, if you need shots, I would suggest going to any county health department OTHER than Jefferson county. Their shots are almost 4 times as much as Shelby, Blount and Tuscaloosa Co. Also, if you need the TB skin test, it is free if you have your blue form and can show it is for school. Health departments require titers. They will not draw them and will not give the shots without a negative titer.

There are events for everyone during this celebration: Groundhog trivia, free viewing of "Groundhog Day" at the movie theater, walking tours of the film sites, a Chili cook-off, a dinner and dance, bowling, and pancake breakfasts.

Jeff Francoeur KC
After 2011 everyone was ready to proclaim Frenchy a "rebound" in 2012, hitting .285 with 20 Home Runs and 22 steals in 2011. Well, 2012 Jeff
Francoeur looked a lot more like the 2010 version only hitting .235
with 16 Home runs and only four steals. Still a favorite of the Royals
Front Office, Francouer is only a AL-only filer for a source of power.
Johnny Gomes BOS
A Pure platoon player who has a thirst for left handed pitching will be the leading candidate for the Red Sox Left Field Job. Fenway Park suits to his pull power with am .894 Career OPS versus southpaws. He could serve as a mixed-league fill in on days Gomes faces lefties but as a AL-only power play he figures to hit at least .260 having done this three of the last four years.
Carlos Gonzalez COL
The Colorado Rockies Outfielder continues to be an elite fantasy option going 20/20 each of the last three seasons while batting .295 or above during that span. Scary part is he is just now entering his prime. The home/road splits continue to show him to be better hitter playing at home. "CarGo" is a Top tier Outfield fantasy option.
Franklin Gutierrez SEA The Seattle Mariners and Gutierrez chalked 2012 up to bad luck, as major injuries left and right derailed any chance of positive progress. He has a chance to start the year as the everyday Center fielder. In 2010 Gutierrez posted 14 home runs and 25 steals and in drafting him late in AL-only leagues you will gladly take that production.
Garret Jones PIT
At 31-years-old Jones looks to improve on a solid 2012 campaign. Last
season, in a platoon role, Jones had his best season since his 2009 breakout. Posting highs in Home runs (27) and runs (68) scored to go with a healthy average of .274. Expect some regression back to his 2010-2011 years where in that span, he averaged 18 home runs and a .245 batting average. NL-Only Power play.
Matt Joyce TAM
Will the real Matt Joyce please stand up? The 2011 All Star had started the last two seasons hot only to fall off the earth after two months. Last year, Joyce hit the DL and was never the same hitting .241. Could be a smart move to draft him and when he gets hot, sell high.
Juan Pierre MIA
Back in Miami where it began years all those years ago, Juan Pierre is
a slap hitter who will steal 30 or more bases this season. The .300 average from a year ago may not duplicate but he still should bat for a respectable high average.
Martin Prado ARI
The new third baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks remains an under-the-radar, versatile option in fantasy baseball. Prado stole 17 bases in 2012 being caught only four times. If he keeps the .300 average and maintains the same SB conversion rate, a 20 steal season with double-digit home run total is a strong possibility.
Carlos Quentin SD
The move to Petco hurt Quentin's power a bit, as expected. If healthy in 2013 the added 175 At-bats could push his home run total to 30. Carlos Quentin is never going to help in the average department as last year's .261 figures to be once in a lifetime thing.
Ben Revere PHI
The former Minnesota Twins Outfielder has no power to bring to the table. However,Revere hits for a solid average hitting .294 in 2012. The better but aging lineup of the Phillies should boost his runs scored.Revere, already one of the game's prime basestealers, averaging 37 steals the last two seasons, figures to hit atop the Phillies' Lineup starting Opening Day.

NEW YORK—New York City streets will continue to change with expansion of bike lanes. It's the only way, says Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.
"Only a few people are willing to ride a bike up a major city avenue in mixed vehicle traffic," said the commissioner, noting that bike lanes provide riders with a greater sense of safety.
The City Council held a hearing with Sadik-Khan on Thursday, discussing the advantages and drawbacks to the expansion of bicycle lanes across the city.
A joint 2006 study by DOT, the Department of Health, and NYPD found that of the 225 cyclist fatalities occurring between 1996 and 2005, only one took place within a designated bicycle lane.
The idea of the bike lane network took off when the Department of City Planning published "A Greenway Plan for NYC" in 1993, calling for a 700-mile-long bike network installation. The concept was further bolstered with the announcement of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's PlaNYC in 2007, which called for completion of an 1,800-mile bicycle network by 2030. Two hundred miles have been completed so far, and DOT is expected to install 50 additional miles each year until the goal is reached.
According to Sadik-Khan, the number of bicycle commuters in the city has increased by 109 percent since 2006. Since implementation of various bike lanes across New York City, cycling volumes have significantly increased, she said. The Ninth Avenue has had a 69 percent increase in cycling volume from 2007 to the present, while Kent Avenue in Brooklyn has seen their numbers double.
The incidence of collisions has also dropped in several places where bike lanes have been installed, said the commissioner. She highlighted Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn, where speeding has decreased from 76 to 27 percent upon the establishment of the lanes.
Two types of bike lanes can be installed by DOT. Class one bicycle lanes separate cyclists from the rest of the motorized traffic with a physical barrier or a median. Although this type of lane offers the cyclists most protection, approximately five parking spaces are lost for every two city blocks as a result. Class two lanes, on the other hand, simply mark the pavement of the allotted area, leaving parking spaces largely unaffected.
According to Sadik-Khan, all bike lanes put in place have been supported or requested by local community boards.
Eighty percent of the funding for the bike lanes are paid for with federal funding, with the remainder coming from local funds, said the commissioner.
The DOT is also working to address concerns that cyclists do not obey traffic rules at all times. The department plans to run its first media campaign to counter this culture in the spring. The promotion, designed to remind cyclists to obey the laws, will feature numerous celebrities. The NYPD also plans to increase enforcement of cycling traffic rules as a part of a recently secured safety grant from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.
In November, the DOT announced plans to bring in a private company to run a bike-sharing initiative, which will be modeled after cities like London and Paris. The program is expected to go into effect in the spring of 2012.

Local Food Journey
My Local Food Fantasy Revisited Part IV
Posted by James Eisenstein on 08/19 at 07:00 AM
I've been revisiting my 2011 "Local Food Fantasy" piece describing how much of what we eat could be produced locally. The last installment described how the growing demand for local food can be accelerated. Here I want to explore the question of how supplies might rise to meet increasing demand.
Conventional economics teaches that if demand increases, supply will magically rise to meet it over time. But it isn't so simple and it won't happen automatically. How much supply can be increased, and how quickly, depends on whether our existing farmers are able to increase production and whether new producers will emerge.
Unless existing farmers selling locally can stay in business, it's "game over" for increasing supply. It is easy to overlook this fundamental fact and assume that the people you see selling at farmers markets and running harvest share (CSAs) programs are here to stay. Well folks, the fact is that with a few exceptions, most local producers who try to farm full time are barely making it, losing a little some years, making a (very) little other years. Others are retired from other occupations or produce a little bit in their spare time. They will not be around much longer, and their willingness and capacity to grow more is limited.
Current local producers are understandably unwilling to plant more than they think they can sell, especially if they know only that they will have the opportunity to submit a bid that more than likely will not be the lowest bid received. The policies of high volume purchasers like Penn State and other institutions need to recognize this. And planting more isn't just a question of taking fewer days off. Our local farmers are working at the limits of their strength and available time, so increasing production means finding and affording additional help, equipment, and other inputs.
Local producers are equally reluctant to try growing products not currently produced locally like organic soy beans, wheat, spelt, or rice without knowing they can sell them at a fair price. This can only happen if new outlets for these products such as a food coop can guarantee a market and fair price.
If existing producers are prospering, new growers will be encouraged to go into farming for the local market, but they will need help. Young people wishing to produce for local consumption rarely can afford to buy good farm land, so they would have to lease it from groups of citizens committed to local food or from existing landowners with idle or excess acreage. And under the right conditions, more of our existing conventional farmers might be enticed to convert some of their production for local consumption.
There are formidable obstacles to be overcome before the supply of local food can increase to meet a rapid rise in demand. But thanks to our fertile soils and skilled growers the supply of locally grown food can increase dramatically. It is beginning to happen, and informed and committed consumers can make it happen sooner.

What really happens ...
Before submission (BS)
So you've spent the past few years working day and night on your study. You write the manuscript and it's totally fucking amazing. It will undoubtedly bring you fame and accolades. And set you up for that gazillion dollar grant you'll be submitting next year that will totally get you tenure one year ahead of schedule.
You choose the journal that will be perfect for your manuscript. OMG, the editor is totally going to die when she reads the abstract.
After submission stuff (ASS)
The editorial staff receive your manuscript but don't get a chance to look at it for a week or so because of all the other totally fucking amazing manuscripts they've received. They finally take a cursory look at it to pick out some key words so that that they can assign it to the appropriate associate editor. These key words usually include: "the", "significant" and "hypothesis."
The associate editor receives an email alerting her to the fact that she has a new manuscript to handle. She is usually busy herding cats during her regular day job so it can be anything up to a week before she gets 15 minutes free during her lunchtime to look at the manuscript. A quick glance at the title makes her freak out because she doesn't understand half of the words.
Eventually, the associate editor sighs deeply, wades through the other 5 manuscripts that are in various stages of review to find the new submission. After downloading and opening the pdf, she eventually locates the list of suggested reviewers only to discover that they are all from the same institution as the manuscript authors. Upon closer inspection, it also appears that they were all coauthors on a paper published the previous year.
After an exhaustive literature search, the associate editor finally locates the names and email addresses of 8 potential reviewers in the hopes of finding 2 that will agree to review the manuscript. She sends invitations to the first 3 people on the list and sits back to see what they will say. After 7 days with no response from anyone, the journal's submission website automatically uninvites the reviewers and sends emails out to the next 3 people on the list. The following day, one person agrees to review the paper. Six days later, the website automatically invites the last two people on the list. Five and a half days later, one person agrees to perform the review. Note that none of the people who are not reviewing the paper actually bothered to decline the invitation.
The manuscript is finally in review.
Reviews and shit (RASH)
Amidst the chaos of the job for which she actually earns a salary, the associate editor completely forgets about the manuscript until she receives an email saying that one of the reviews is late. The first person that agreed to review the manuscript is now 3 days overdue after initially agreeing to a 14 day turnaround time. With a loud growl, she logs into the submission website and fires off a standard "Get The Fucking Review Done" email to the tardy reviewer.
Five days later, the associate editor receives an email telling her that all the reviews have been submitted for the manuscript. Upon looking at the reviews, she discovers that the first one is full of phrases such as "this is an interesting manuscript" and "the authors are to be congratulated", but there is no mention about the appropriateness of the experimental design or the importance of the findings, novelty or significance of the paper. In the comments to the editor, the second reviewer has merely written "gooood job" while the section for comments to the authors is empty. One of the reviewers has rated the manuscript in the top 25% of papers in the field while the other has rated it in the bottom 25%. Both have indicated that major revisions are necessary.
The associate editor decides to postpone her decision until the following day because this shit has given her a thundering headache. The next morning, she gets to the office before daybreak, fires up some tunes, logs into the manuscript submission site and recommends that the manuscript be rejected.
Post recommendation action time (PRAT)
Two weeks later, the managing editor clicks the magic ***REJECT*** button and you are notified that your work officially sucks.
Time to find another journal.

What to Expect From the New-and-Improved Skillshare? Learning By Doing in a 'Hybrid' Classroom
Last week, Skillshare, the disruptive teaching platform backed by Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital, announced a big expansion: incorporating an online element into its classes. Rather than relying on its popular in-person workshops, which Betabeat has personally employed to brush up on our coding and financial modeling skills, the startup opened its doors around the globe with "Hybrid" classes that combine those in-person workshops with "project-based online learning."
Skillshare cofounder Michael Karnjanaprakorn came up with the idea for this hybrid approach when he was teaching his own class, "Launch Your Startup Idea for Less than $5000.″ Instead of just lecturing at students, he began asking them to present their ideas at the end of class and the results dramatically improved, leading to the creation of actual startups like RentHackr and Hashpix.
