When searching for new sections to teach at new colleges, it's important for contingent faculty to show they can customize a syllabus for a new institution, writes Luke Niebler.
If you were a casual reader of American newspapers, you would think that the fate of the humanities was in doubt. Polishing off a 30-year-old critique, most famously offered by Allan Bloom in 1987's The Closing of the American Mind, an acerbic corps of doubters – David Brooks of The New York Times is in the vanguard -- wonders if scholars of literature have lost their way, substituting politically chosen texts for classics, stripping away the basic function of the humanities, defined gloriously as: to help us make sense of our world. Enrollments are down, they note, which means that students are shifting their efforts into the sciences, or business, or technology. The doubters want us to believe that the wonderful dreamers who once taught at Chicago or Penn or Yale are, sorrowfully, gone.
This skeptical cohort is often partnered with another, angrier, and more politically active group, which questions whether a college degree is even worth the money these days. Hack the degree, they say. Take a MOOC. If you have to go, enroll at Stanford, or choose your major based on your starting salary after graduation. This platoon of nail-biters and shouters asks us – the big "us," that is, our fractious national family – to distrust the words of tenured radicals, to seek an end to administrative bloat, to treat higher education, basically, as a commodity.
As many have noted – Michael Bérubé and Scott Saul foremost among them – this is all generally hogwash. The humanities remain popular with students, and the great bulk of student credit hours in the humanities are still generated by courses that discuss Important Events or Great Books or Big Thinkers. Much of the decline in enrollments can be attributed to long-term trends – for instance, changes in the gender distribution of majors as universities open doors into STEM fields for students, or the rise of new interdisciplines that eat away at our notion of what counts as the core of the humanities. Professors still love their subjects, even if they don't wear tweed and even if some of them are women or people of color, even if they sometimes look different, dress different, talk with accents, come with different histories, and sometimes even use foreign languages in the classroom. Great lectures are still given, by "star" faculty and wandering adjuncts alike. Students are still inspired, even if they read William Faulkner alongside Toni Morrison. I'm in lockstep with Bérubé and Saul, but I also think we need to continually reframe this conversation, to focus in on the single greatest threat to higher education: the defunding of public colleges and universities and the consequent overemphasis on revenue through student credit hours. The threat to the humanities – really, to higher education comprehensively – isn't caused by a loss of passion or direction or focus, as Brooks and his chorus of doubters want us to believe. Or about bloat in the administrative middle.
It comes from the transformation of the day-to-day interactions between students and faculty, a transformation that is ensured by an emphasis on vast classes, big draws, and throngs of students. And that emphasis flows – in a straight and narrow line – directly from the declining state contributions to public universities and, more abstractly, from our recent consensus that profit alone is the surest measure of importance. It is great that Harvard University wants to pour more money into the humanities, but such an investment is meaningless, really, if every place that isn't Harvard, or Yale, or Princeton has to trim and cut in one corner to build and grow in another (let alone to cover the skyrocketing health care costs of employees).
Who am I to contribute to this conversation? I should not be here today. I should be silent, or muted, or fixed in the background, a security guard or a mechanic or a grocery clerk – noble professions, I know, but not generally featured in conversations like this one. There was nothing inevitable about my present social position. Indeed, if you were a gambler, you'd have wagered against me. I am no David Brooks, you see. But I am just as much a creature of the humanities. I was a screw-up, a wastrel, washed-out and adrift for a long time. And headed to nowhere-in-particular very slowly. A generally lackluster youth from a small, forgettable town, I was a C- student at the end of high school, trending down and not up. I enrolled -- at my mother's loving insistence -- at a big public university, signed up to major in political science, and bombed out fast and hard, earning a 0.5 GPA in my first semester. With my failure thus well proven, I moved out to a trailer park at the dusty, quiet, southern tip of New Jersey's Long Beach Island, and went to work in a used bookstore. I rode my bicycle, drove an old station wagon, grew my hair long, drank Miller Lite in tall, dark bottles, smoked Camel cigarettes, and genuinely enjoyed my early hermitage.
The institution that saved me from this enthralling vagabondage wasn't a church, or a gang, or prison, or the family. It wasn't football or baseball or basketball. It wasn't "America." I didn't read Kerouac. I didn't hear an inspirational speech on television. It was a small place, Richard Stockton College, tucked away in the Pine Barrens, perhaps the simplest and most basic expression of our belief in an educated adult citizenry. I signed up – not knowing what I meant to do, really – and then showed up, ready for absolutely nothing.
My saviors weren't clerics or wardens or coaches. They were teachers. They wore mismatched socks, drank coffee by the gallon, and loved ideas, evidence, and debate. They weren't generalists but specialists, with hard-earned knowledge about medical science in Scotland, or library readership in the early Republic. I couldn't tell you anything about their politics, but I could paint you a richly detailed portrait of their presence at the head of the classroom. From what I could see, they lived cheaply, responsibly, and haphazardly, drawing sustenance from the material of their research, which they shared, twice or three times a week, with a group of 35 or so history majors, mouth-breathers all. These strange masters of the blackboard, drove cars just like mine, except that theirs were filled with random slips of paper and wildly strewn books and file folders. They gave extraordinary, dazzling lectures, even though much of the time, I could not understand anything they were saying. They were a live cliché.
I wish I could say that their job was easy, that I turned myself around, figured it out, and bootstrapped my way back to the right track. The truth is, I was hard work, just like everyone else. In red ink, they implored me to rewrite and rethink. In a cascade of office meetings and hallway conversations they pored over my paragraph formation, transition sentences, basic grammar and syntax.
They didn't see anything special in me, of course, because there just wasn't anything special to see. They merely believed that this was what they should do for everyone who walked into their classroom. They had seen thousands of people before I arrived, and they would see thousands after I was gone. They weren't naïve or wide-eyed, and they didn't imagine themselves as heroic or romantic. They were professional. And, when I look back on the last 20 years of my life, it wasn't their lecture material that made the difference. It was the time they spent with me outside of class. Of course, I was lucky. I was born in 1970, at a moment when most states believed in adequately funding higher education. I grew up in a place that had an enhanced system of public universities and colleges, all staffed with well-trained, research-focused faculty, people with published expertise in a specific field, with a dedication to craft. And I went to school and college at a time when professors – and schoolteachers more generally – were respected for their role in civil society, and trusted to patiently instruct and constructively challenge slack-jawed young men and women like me.
Raised in the idyllic world of yesteryear, I honestly never once thought to measure my education – or my intelligence, or my civic worth – by my starting salary after graduation. I had been making $78 a week at the bookstore, borrowing money for college, and charging meals and gas and cigarettes on a credit card. I just assumed that this pattern would continue forever. Even now, I am surprised that I didn't just keep working at the bookstore, didn't just keep shivering my way through the cold, lonely winters and hot, busy summers of what is colloquially known as "LBI," didn't just keep grifting my way to a full stomach.
When it comes to higher education, I'm not nostalgic for the way things used to be. I'm indebted to those who came before, to those who made this current "me" possible. I'm unhappy that we can't do the same here and now for others. And I think the problem is quite clearly not about escalating salaries or administrative expansion.
Long after my redemption, I spent nine years teaching at a public university. For most of that time, I was running an interdisciplinary program at the very heart of the humanities. We were charged to grow an "honors-style" major, with small classes, lots of writing, and intense faculty and student interactions. In short, to create the experience of a small liberal arts college -- an experience I know well – within a 35,000-student university. Our capacity to grow was the result of a clever administrator, who – in the face of a statewide budget freeze – added on an additional fee for incoming students, and used that vast pot of money to shift growth toward the emerging interdisciplines. But this "honors-style" dream was chipped away slowly by the annual news reports of state budget cuts. We were pressed to create bigger courses, to put "fannies in the seats." We ended our enhanced foreign language requirement because it kept our major count down. We were encouraged to open up our enrollments, to create a big survey course at the front end of the major, a course that became so large that we had to trim off the writing requirement and give multiple-choice exams. We spent hours on assessment data, all required by the state higher education board, and less and less, as a consequence on students.
Not surprisingly, some of us left, hoping to find somewhere else something rather like what we'd experienced as young adults, some place where we could do for every student what had been done for us. Wherever we are now, the stakes, for all of "us," in this higher education debate are high. Few students are ready, right at the start, to be inspired by a lecture on Plato. Most need help taking notes, or forming a thesis statement, or just thinking hard about anything. Still, every time a university has to add 500 students to the freshman class to make up for a budget cut without also hiring faculty, and every time an administrator – typically, a good person trying to save an institution – has to ask for a significantly larger lecture class without having the funds to beef up the support structure for students, we make stories like mine less likely.
When we describe the lecture as a delivery mode, as a site for Great Thinkers to Expound on Big Ideas, and not as the public expression of hundreds of miniature conversations in which one or two students work through material, and expression, and form with a single person, and we don't emphasize the equal importance of those behind-the-doors sessions, we do damage to the representation of great teaching. We make it possible to believe that "big" is better. Without those conversations, it isn't just the humanities that gets shortchanged – it is all of us.
Today's jobs might not be yesterday's, but they still require the ability to write and speak clearly, to analyze evidence and form opinions, to solve problems with research, to reach an informed opinion and to persuade others, through a presentation of logic or facts or material, that your opinion is worth their attention. This is what higher education is supposed to do. Fulfilling this mission requires an attention to scale, and a commitment to making it possible for faculty and students to work together closely. In the big and small publics – the great post WWII laboratories of social mobility, from which Brooks and his cohort are so greatly distanced – we simply can no longer teach these skills or create this scale of interaction. And if these centers of gravity fail, everything else will, too.
This should make ordinary Americans angry. It used to be that my story could be your sons' and daughters' story, but not any longer. Don't blame the teachers in the classroom, though. They still work as hard as they can – they still drink too much coffee, still drive beat-up cars, still occasionally mismatch their socks – to deliver sparkling lectures, to rouse students to believe in the passionate study of humanity, to expand their intellectual horizons. And they try very hard to work closely with students in need, students with talent, and students who seem to want more. Don't blame the administrators either. Most of them are simply trying to stave off the very worst consequences of this transformation. Blame the folks with the budget ax. And blame those who vote them in.

This essay is as timely as it is unlikely. Timely, because many studies have correlated economic crises, such as the one corroding the academic job market as well as so many other career prospects, with a rise in domestic abuse. Unlikely, because I am far from the type of person whom one would expect to chronicle personal experience in this area.
None of the stereotypes apply. I am a professor at a respected university with what many people (not just my mother) would describe as an international reputation in her field. The product of a white, upper-middle-class professional household, I seldom heard my father raise his voice to my mother -- his raising his hand would have been inconceivable. Their marriage was perhaps not one made in heaven, but neither was it an instance of cruelty by any stretch of the imagination. And I did not and do not have a pattern of involvement with abusive partners; indeed, for the past 22 years I have enjoyed a very happy and stable relationship with a compassionate and supportive man.
I had thought I had every reason to anticipate a happy and stable relationship in my erstwhile marriage as well. My ex-husband and I shared many cultural interests and were anticipating careers in the same field within the humanities, with similar pedigrees and similarly strong academic records. By chance my career, however, started more smoothly than his, despite his impressive credentials and abilities, indeed gifts. I finished graduate school a year before he did in the '70s — shortly after the precipitous decline in the job market -- and obtained a tenure-track appointment while he was completing his dissertation. We then moved for compelling personal reasons, and I was fortunate enough to find an academic position again, but he did not do so.
My ex-husband had slapped me once early in our marriage when, because I had not understood and hence had not followed his instructions during a household repair, a small amount of water fell on him. I was shocked, but I viewed the episode as an aberration. It was not.
That event suggests that the recurrence of such abuse cannot be wholly blamed on his not having a job. And after all, many unemployed people do not descend into such behavior, while many who are guilty of it hold stable jobs. Nonetheless, the timing persuades me that my ex-husband's not obtaining the sort of position he had hoped for contributed significantly to the recurrence of wife-beating. For shortly after we had moved and I, but not he, held an academic appointment, physical abuse started again. He pinched, shoved, and hit me with some regularity over a period of about a year. Not by any means the most violent wife-beating, but quite enough, thank you, to leave significant black-and-blue marks on one occasion and less visible scars on the others. The physical abuse was accompanied by persistent belittling remarks. Throughout all this, my ex-husband continued to appear in public as a charming and highly educated gentleman and a courteous husband. I later learned that this Jekyll-Hyde scenario is a common symptom of pathologies like his.
Why did I put up with it? Barely able to believe that this was happening between people like us, I made excuses for him, justifying his behavior as a regrettable but understandable response to his unemployment, which was clearly all the more difficult for him because I had an attractive job in the same field. The contrast between his public and private behavior made it harder to confront the events squarely, as did the ways the situation sapped my own self-confidence. Like many victims of domestic abuse, I began to blame myself, not realizing that although I had made real mistakes, such as occasional tactless remarks, they neither explained nor justified this physical and emotional maltreatment.
Moreover, like many wife-beaters, he repeatedly seemed to repent. On the several occasions when I finally resolved to leave, he admitted that situations for which he had blamed only me were in fact in large measure his responsibility, and he promised to get therapy. These apparent reversals were, I was to discover, as much a pattern as the violence itself, and the therapy never materialized.
His career not only got back on track but flourished after that year of unemployment — a good though temporary job one year, a tenure-track job the next, the publication of a well-received book by a leading press, and so on. The physical abuse stopped shortly after he gained those academic positions, though the emotional analogues to it did not, and for that and many other reasons I finally, belatedly, got a divorce.
What I learned is relevant to anyone, man or woman, suffering domestic abuse.
Realizing that stressful circumstances outside the home -- and one's own behavior -- may have contributed to tension is a very different matter from excusing the behavior or shouldering all the responsibility oneself. Distinguish compassion from submission: it's healthy to understand the financial pressures that might bring out this type of violence in some individuals, but no one should accept its continuation. Be alert to connections between the physical and verbal, recognizing that physical abuse often merely goes into remission or resurfaces as verbal wife-beating. Apologies and promises need to be backed up with concrete and reliable evidence for believing that change will occur.
But one step must precede and accompany all of these: Avoid the temptation to excuse or deny the abuse by saying, "This isn't really occurring, and it will stop any minute because things like this don't happen to a professional couple like us." They can. They do. And, sadly, in this academic job market, they will.

You don't have to sit through boring presentations, writes Nate Kreuter, but you do need to think strategically.
Money has always given people better options, but for humanities Ph.D. students, money's now necessary just to get acceptable ones. Just now becoming noticeable, this "re-gilded ivory tower" looms over a landscape that everyone should consider. As one fellow graduate student recently observed, "You have to have a spouse nowadays; that's how more and more people seem to be doing it." As is well-known, the economic crash hastened the decline of tenure-track jobs and increased competition for them. Once standard, these stable jobs with adequate salary and benefits have become rarer, displaced by short-term, one- to two-year positions at best, and by piecemeal adjuncting at worst. In turn, entry-level qualifications also rose at some institutions to include a secondary research specialization, at least one article, and attention to pedagogy resulting in the creation of one or more substantive classes, ideally taught at outside institutions. Thus, some form of outside support has become essential for wading through longer Ph.D. programs, and very often an indefinite period of unstable and unremunerative post-graduation employment while waiting for a good job that may never come. Spousal income, a parent-owned condo, a trust fund – no matter which, these necessities increasingly make a humanities Ph.D. less of a career path and more of a leisure pursuit for those with financial stability from elsewhere, even for students at top institutions. Recent cohorts at my home institution of the University of Chicago show how money has effectively formed two tracks of Ph.D. students. One student, a self-supporting single person, graduated several years ago and entered a one-year position with a heavy teaching load because he "had to." He's been able to renew his position – but he also hasn't published, and was passed over for a tenure-track job where he teaches because his teaching load made it impossible to write articles.
Another, a married person who leans on her non-academic spouse for income and benefits, adjuncts one or two classes per semester and uses the rest of her time for research as she awaits and creates better possibilities. "There's no way in hell I'm doing a one-year," she confided. "But then again, I can afford to do that." As if this anecdotal evidence isn't enough, panelists at a recent academic careers conference at the same university openly averred that money is necessary to achieve the recommended level of professionalization – or at least as much of it as a student can get. Since many institutions don't track job placement for doctoral students, let alone gather comprehensive student financial profiles, experiences like these give the first glimpses into an academic world where finances determine fate. Given the steady loss of good jobs and devaluation of the humanities in favor of fields like science and engineering, class stratification in academia is set to grow and raises several crucial issues:
Who will become our professors? Despite rare exceptions, our humanities professors will come from wealthier backgrounds. To the extent that the academy can draw from wealthier members of different racial and national demographics, however, overall diversity may suffer less than one might think. Nevertheless, the academy will recede as a symbol of general social mobility. What will our intellectual life be? As poorer students fall by the wayside, students with money – but not necessarily as much merit – will take their place in Ph.D. programs and professorships. Thus, scholarly standards and intellectual vibrancy should drop somewhat. Gone too will be questions stemming from the underrepresented socioeconomic backgrounds. Accordingly, the social utility of university research may decline – at least in disciplines where these questions are more common. Will the effects be the same in literature as in history or sociology, for example? How to conceptualize the humanities? Students from poorer backgrounds will still encounter the humanities in general education requirements – but how do professors convey their enriching potential in a way that makes sense, when deep and sustained engagement is the province of the privileged? Descriptions of the humanities as a common cultural inheritance will need revision, if not outright replacement. How to balance student and institutional well-being? Self-supporting students are already at a disadvantage for professionalization and survival in the humanities. Since student exploration into other careers almost unavoidably involves volunteering and then facing off against candidates with more appropriate degrees and job histories, the most humane advice may be warning poorer prospective students away from the risky bet of a Ph.D. Some professors do this, but institutions depend on students' loan money and teaching. In the best-case scenario, poorer students self-select out. When they don't, however, they foist a complicated set of ethical decisions upon faculty and administrators, with whom institutional inertia and pressures often hold sway. Overall, a re-gilded ivory tower currently seems inevitable. Yet, how much will change? At the end of the day, professors will teach, students will study, and academic conversations will continue. For those who think, however, tainting everything will be a simple but ugly truth: money, not mind, makes a colleague. Perhaps, then, the single most pressing task of all for those in the humanities is our current national challenge, how to cultivate sensitivity across class lines.

This is the perfect time to rethink the courses you teach, writes Nate Kreuter. He offers advice on evaluating feedback so you can develop the best new plan.
At the recent dedication of the $500 million George W. Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University, President Clinton called it "the latest, grandest example of the eternal struggle of former presidents to rewrite history." In 2004, the Clinton Center and Foundation stunned with its more than $200 million price tag, and less than a decade later Bush has doubled that when the endowment for the Bush Institute is counted. When the Barack Obama center opens around 2020, perhaps on the campus of the University of Chicago, could it be the first billion-dollar presidential center? Possibly. A total of $1.4 billion was raised for Obama's two successful presidential campaigns, and so for a center dedicated to his final campaign for a better place in history it's at least likely that he'll surpass previous records.
Although the final decision on the location of the Obama center is probably a couple of years away, professors and administrators at the University of Chicago (where he once taught) and the University of Hawaii (where his mother studied and his sister taught) are thinking about what it might mean if it lands on their campus. Chicago State University also wants to be considered. For universities, presidential centers present both opportunities and significant costs and challenges. Academics should consider carefully before getting into a bidding war over a presidential library, and weigh how much these centers promote spin in addition to scholarship.
Prime campus real estate is sometimes sacrificed for these presidential temples, which, although they house valuable historical records impartially managed by the National Archives, also have museums that high school students who have passed the Advanced Placement U.S. History test would likely find biased, as well as foundations or institutes that have agendas that the host university does not control.
Clinton was right in saying that these centers are attempts by former presidents to write their own history and polish their reputations. And to a significant degree they work. President Carter's reputation was tarnished when he left office in 1981, but as The New York Times put it in a nearly prescient headline in 1986: "Reshaped Carter Image Tied to Library Opening" — and today, Carter is one of the more respected former presidents.
But Clinton exaggerated when he said that the struggle by former presidents to remake their images stretches back to the beginning of American history. Until the 20th century, former presidents rarely even wrote memoirs, and the first president to have a presidential library run by the federal government was Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Roosevelt Library, which opened on his estate at Hyde Park, New York, in 1941, was modest compared with succeeding presidential libraries. Its initial cost was about $7 million in today's dollars, but critics still accused FDR of building a "Yankee pyramid." There was more than a grain of truth in the charge. When FDR first saw Egypt's pyramids, he said, "man's desire to be remembered is colossal." Although what Roosevelt said may not be true for everyone, it certainly was true for FDR and his successors.
Most succeeding presidential libraries dwarf FDR's: The Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, evokes Queen Hatshepsut's Temple in Egypt, as well as being the first to feature a full-scale Oval Office replica (something copied by most of the others), and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas, is a complex of buildings with a park that takes up an entire city block.
The first president to affiliate his library with a university was President Kennedy. JFK envisioned his library on the grounds of his alma mater, Harvard University. After Kennedy's death some at Harvard decided they didn't like the idea of common tourists on their campus (99 percent of the visitors to presidential libraries are tourists, and only 1 percent are researchers), and architecture critic Ada Louis Huxtable humorously lampooned their fear of "Goths overwhelming the intelligentsia." Harvard did establish the Kennedy School of Government, but the Kennedy Library itself was located on a campus of the University of Massachusetts, on a spectacular site overlooking Boston harbor.
The Kennedy Library was also the first to have a "starchitect," when Jackie Kennedy chose I.M. Pei — who later designed the East Building of the National Gallery of Art, as well as the expansion of the Louvre — to design her husband's memorial. Originally, the Kennedy Library was going to be a large pyramid with the top cut off — representing JFK's tragically truncated achievement — but eventually that plan was scrapped, and Pei reimagined that design as the glass pyramid at the Louvre. Pei's final design for The Kennedy Library and Museum was a futuristic glass, steel, and concrete edifice that still looks like it could be used in a Star Trek movie.
President Lyndon Johnson, with Lady Bird Johnson's help, also hired a star architect for his monument to himself. Gordon Bunshaft of the famous Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill firm had designed such modernist icons as Yale University's beautiful Beinecke Library with its translucent marble walls. Bunschaft's design for the Johnson Library on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin has, as Ada Louis Huxtable wrote, "a Pharaonic air of permanence" that "puts Mr. Johnson in the same class as some Popes and Kings who were equally receptive clients for architects with equally large ideas." The Johnson Library looks like a cross between an Egyptian pylon temple and a space-age bureaucracy.
We could talk about award-winning architect James Polshek's design for the Clinton Center, or the renowned Robert A. M. Stern's imposing design for the Bush Center at SMU, but you get the idea. All presidents since FDR have an edifice complex. Becoming a patron of a huge architectural project dedicated to yourself is one of the perks of being an Imperial Ex-President. Another perk is becoming a museum curator. Initially, the exhibits in presidential libraries are campaign commercials in museum form, designed with a lot of help from the former president. Eventually these exhibits become more balanced and complete, but it's usually 30-50 years after a president leaves office before the National Archives installs decent exhibits. The former president and many of his supporters need to die before their power to spin subsides.
As Wayne Slater of The Dallas Morning News writes, the new Bush museum is "a vivid justification for why certain decisions were made," rather than a balanced examination of the real options involved and the costs of presidential choices — such as the decision to invade Iraq. Bush avoids presidential mistakes in his museum, which means, as columnist Maureen Dowd of The New York Times writes, "You could fill an entire other library with what's not in W's." Bush is just the latest in a long line of presidents to create self-serving exhibits seen by millions. President Obama will likely follow this tradition.
Supporters of presidential libraries hail their archives with their raw materials of history open to scholars, journalists, and even school kids. But these records would be available anyway because by law they are owned by the American people and must be impartially administered and released by the National Archives. If a president didn't have a presidential library, the records would be housed in an equally accessible facility (probably in Washington), it just wouldn't be so architecturally grandiose.
It was Jimmy Carter who first morphed the presidential library into a presidential center. The Carter Center, which is next to but administratively separate from the Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta, has been so effective at living up to its mantra of "Waging Peace. Fighting Disease. Building Hope" that President Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. But Carter has also generated considerable controversy over the years because of his views on Israel. If the Carter Center had been located on the campus of nearby Emory University (with which it is loosely affiliated) that institution's reputation might have been affected, but since the Carter Center is geographically separate from Emory the university was largely shielded.
There is not as much shielding for SMU from former President Bush and his views on such issues as enhanced interrogation techniques. The Bush Institute was inspired in part by the Hoover Institution on the campus of Stanford University, which is considered one of the nation's leading conservative think tanks. The Hoover Institution has long offered a platform for high-profile Republicans such as George Schultz, Condoleezza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld.
The Hoover Institution is to a large degree administratively separate from Stanford, and so although it effectively leverages the prestige of its host university to expand its influence, Stanford does not have a corresponding control over it. It's possible that President Obama will seek a similar arrangement with a host university for a future Obama Center, or whatever he might choose to call it.
And the bottom line here is the bottom line: Although the price tag for the actual building of the Bush Library, Museum, and Institute was a cool quarter of a billion dollars, an equal amount was raised to endow the Bush Institute. And Bush and his supporters will continue their aggressive fund-raising for the foreseeable future, making the ultimate price tag and influence of the Bush Center perhaps in the billion-dollar range sometime in the next decade or two.
When President Johnson helped found the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, he gleefully anticipated breaking what he called "this goddamned Harvard" hold on top government positions. But like the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, the Johnson School is run by its university, not by a self-perpetuating board largely independent of the university that seeks, in part, to enhance the reputation of the president whose name is on the building. In other words, as presidential centers have evolved and grown they have become a better and better deal for former presidents, but it's less certain that they are a good deal for the universities that might host them.
What would make a presidential center a better deal for a university and the public? It would be useful for the 99 percent who will visit the future Obama museum to encourage the involvement of some history professors at the host university to help create exhibits with rigorous content. This content should be of a quality that would actually help future high school students pass the relevant portion of a future AP U.S. history test, rather than just being a museum of spin.
For a future Obama foundation or institute, it would be worthwhile for the university to have a significant number of faculty members from a variety of departments on the governing board. The university should have more than token input into a foundation that will be a big player on campus for many decades, perhaps even centuries. For, as some have noted, these presidential centers have become the American equivalent of the temples and tombs of the pharaohs. If professors, students, and the general public are to be more than bystanders or even would-be political worshippers, the host university needs to negotiate for the best interests of not just the university but the American public. Universities should not simply acquiesce to the desire that Clinton spoke of (only half-jokingly) that presidents have to rewrite their own history in self-glorifying memorials.
And President Obama himself would need to be involved in the process of reforming the presidential center. He has to a degree already taken on this role, for in his first full day in office in 2009 he revoked President Bush's infamous Executive Order 13233, which restricted access to presidential records for political reasons. Obama and the university he partners with should continue this work so that presidential centers cease to remind us of the lines of the poem by Percy Shelley: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Awesiome FX
I became interested in cosmetics at a young age. When I turned 12 I expressed a deep interest in wearing makeup. My mother thought it best to have me learn proper techniques from professionals. She enrolled me in classes taught by industry pros. I was taught fashion makeup application, shading and many more techniques.
At 15, I began stage training. I was trained specifically how to apply makeup for movie sets, stage productions and special effects. This along with many years of practical application of fashion cosmetic techniques made me very well rounded as a makeup artist. At 18 I was a counter manager for a major cosmetic brand and began freelancing doing mostly weddings and photo shoots. In college I was a chemistry major (analytical brain) with a minor in music (creative brain) I am very well-rounded. I have extensive knowledge of chemistry which means I can tell you exactly what the product I am using has in it. I also have an extensive knowledge of art theory, human anatomy and physiology. I use this knowledge in my craft to make the most realistic and safe product I can. After heavily freelancing, I took several years off from major projects but continued to offer training to friends and family on cosmetics. Several years ago I started heavily freelancing again with more of a focus on film production and special effects. Although I love film production, I also love an ever changing scene. I am open to all projects and have experience with almost every genre imaginable as a makeup artist. I am 32 with over 15 years of experience.
I am currently based out of Eugene, Oregon but regularly travel the state and am willing to accept projects out-of-town. The directors, photographers, models, designers, etc. that I have worked with in the past will tell you that I am incredibly professional and easy to work with. I am punctual, patient and reliable. On top of my career as a makeup artist I have had a long standing career as a marketing director for a large corporation and have extensive business experience. I am not your average makeup artist.
I have a large supply of cosmetics and everything I need to shoot on location. When working with directors or photographers I have specific processes and graphics that I use to help create concepts and proceed to planning and implementation. I have a studio I use in my home (specifically for special effects) so for major projects this is extremely useful.
Please contact me for availability or with any questions!

New Billboard in Austin
I bet that sign went up faster than any sign has ever gone up in Texas. I bet the original crew on the job was supposed to be 21 guys, but 5 of them had turned anklles, one broke a hand, two had lingering concussion symptoms and all had to be replaced, so I'm guessing approximately 34 people actually put that sign up.
Do I come off as arrogant? Shame on me, I was hoping it would be more obvious.
So A&M has 27 kids in their 2013 recruiting class... How will they get around the 25 limit the SEC installed. What are the penalties for that anyway? Anyone know?
If they couldn't win in the Big XII, how are Missouri and Texas A&M gonna win in the SEC?

Justin Bieber: Rolling in Sick New Ride!
Justin Bieber is trying to be a new man these days.
And, along those lines, he's now rolling in a brand new car!
Justin Bieber is trying to be a new man these days.
And, along those lines, he's now rolling in a brand new car!
Amidst all the feuds and Twiter tirades, you may have forgotten that Iggy Azalea actually makes music.
The Aussie rapper debuted the music video for her newest single "Trouble" today, and it features Jennifer Hudson in a prison yard-collaboration that might bring to mind Lady Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone" clip:
Earlier today, Leonard Nimoy died at the age of 83.
The beloved actor, best known for his role as Dr. Spock on Star Trek (the TV show and the movie versions), passed away at his home in Bel-Air, having lost a battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The retailer behind the Internet's most talked-about (and wildly debated) dress said Friday that the frock is flying off the shelves like fashion hotcakes.
That was our terrible intro, not their direct quote. You get the idea though.
First, Kylie Jenner flashed her underwear in an Instagram selfie.
Then, it was Kim Kardashian and her thong going viral in celebration of the reality star garnering 27 million followers.
Ozzy Osbourne wants Access Hollywood's Billy Bush to "lay off" his daughter Kelly Osbourne in the wake of the Giuliana Rancic-Zendaya controversy.
Either that or get ready for a boot in your behind. Bitch.

Robin, I totally agree with you. I was one of those people who thought I could not draw until I read her book!!!!! I did "ok" in my college drawing classes (I majored in ceramics and sculpture), but it was during my first year teaching that I stumbled over Drawing on the Right SIde of the Brain. WOW. The doors and windows FLUNG open for me, too. I have used it as the basis of teaching drawing ever since. I can't imagine it any other way. It truly guides your brain into seeing and transferring what you see. And no child is too young to understand the concepts if you put it in their language. I am so proud of what my kids do when they draw from observation and it is all techniques from this book that guide them.

My 2.5 year old son gets along with every kid except 1 girl.
My son has play dates with all sorts of different children, but he has been around 1 girl in particular his whole life basically, her mom and I have been friends since we were pregnant and her daughter came 5 weeks after my son. They have always had play dates and been around each other a lot. anyways they always seem to get into an argument over a toy or something and end up trying to hit at each other and steal each others toys. Her mom always tries to blame my son for causing all of the problems but I know this is not always the case, it very strongly goes both ways. She says I don't ever punish my child and that my child is the reason hers has learned to hit but this is not true, I just don't feel like my son should be punished every time they get into a scuffle when she starts them too. I feel like they are just 2 year old's and they aren't going to always get along, no 2 people always constantly get along and agree on everything no matter the age. This does not happen when my son is around other kids though. So I really don't understand where this is coming from with them. It hasn't always been like this between them two. Has anybody else had this problem with their kids and 1 child in particular they just can't get along with anymore? She is blaming my parenting on all of this and it is all my fault according to her, I am a first time parent and so is she. I do raise my son on my own and have no help financial or otherwise. I think kids will be kids, opinions? Thanks!

Raising the bar for bangkok's High-Rises
Improving property standards will help prepare Bangkok better for the Asean Economic Community
- Published: 10 Mar 2013 at 00.00 | Viewed: 957 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Spectrum
- Writer: Suphin Mechuchep
One of the promises made by MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra during his re-election campaign for Bangkok governor was to prepare the city for the opening of the Asean Economic Community (AEC) in late 2015. The policy makes good sense because Bangkok has many advantages that could help position it as a hub of Southeast Asia. It was also welcomed by the Bangkok property industry as the city's property markets are expected to enjoy stronger demand when the AEC takes effect.
More companies from Asean and other countries looking to set up business operations or regional head offices in this new economic community may choose Bangkok as a hub because of a number of advantages that the city has to offer.
The city occupies a strategic location in the centre of the region, connecting the emerging economies of Myanmar and Indochina with the other Southeast Asian countries. Infrastructure has seen continued improvement. Skilled labour is available.

A symbol of the Christian thirsting after the living waters of Christ's Word. Usually represented in pairs, the deer are refreshing themselves from the streams of water flowing from the Cross. In the words of the Psalm, "as a hart longs for the running streams, so longs my soul for you, my God" (Psalm 42). The stag appears in representations of St. Hubert and St. Eustace, patrons of hunters, also with St. Giles shown with his pet hind, and St. Aidan noted in English hagiology.

Try asking the manufacturer what they recommend. They could tell you how much slip solution to use and what to expect as far as squeegee technique and drying times.
Please post pics when you get the job done. I'm very interested in that product.

Here is a link for install instructions Evo I think it's like installing vinyl I never used solex but did some film that what was similar I believe and we hard carded it too
25 February 2004 - 06:37 PM
I just stuck 25 windows with this. All I used was X100 and a little joy. Use a soft cloth, not a towel on your squeege. Check for water with a flash light from the backside (it was raining, so the sun was not helping me). I didn't have any problems with it stretching, but I was moving very slow.

Olivia has a crisis. She doesn't know what she should be since all the girls, and some of the boys, always choose to be pink princesses, and she is NOT the pink princess type. Besides, if EVERYONE is a princess, then princesses aren't special.
Grades 4+
Ivan (The Ape at Exit 8) is a downtrodden, has-been silverback gorilla living in a small, unkept domain within a shopping mall, occasionally accompanied by Bob, a stray dog who sneaks into Ivan's domain through a hole in the glass.
Grades 1-4
A boy, looking to go to the other side, hops into a bear's boat for what he is assured will not be too long of a journey. Hours later, the bear continues to assure the boy that They. Are. Not. Lost. Sometimes unforseen anomalies arise, you know.
Days later the two have run out of sandwiches.
A simple, quiet adventure story perfectly tailored for a bedtime read-aloud, A Boy and a Bear in a Boat recalls cozy, character-rich classics with plenty to think about, yet is one of a kind and quite quirky.

A Selection of Anna Wintour's New York Magazine Spreads from the Early '80s
>> Anna Wintour joined New York as fashion editor in 1981 and was there through 1983, when she left to become creative director at Vogue. A handful of the spreads she produced while at New York have turned up, and many show the seeds of Vogue's future. In one, there's a photograph of a model at a grocery, a concept that Wintour has used at Vogue since; another called "Fur For All Seasons," is staunchly pro-fur — there's even a tiny credit: "None of the furs shown is on the endangered species list. Still another is photographed by Peter Lindbergh, who Wintour has employed often for Vogue.

Does magnet affect the screen?
I'm planning on getting a wallet case but the one in looking at closes with magnet. I'm wondering if this will affect the screen.
I've read somewhere awhile back how someones screen got messed up because of magnet or something
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Android Central Forums -
Re: Does magnet affect the screen?
The only real danger is the pressure of the magnet's physical profile against the screen (it could really be anything other than a magnet). But as far as a magnet affecting the screen because of its magnetic properties, no. There would have to be some ferrous compounds in the screen to have a substantive effect; the only real organic compound in the screen is silicon.
Re: Does magnet affect the screen?
I know on the Note 10.1, magnets can affect the screens digitizer. I have a case with magnets and I have had no problems but some people are reporting dead zones caused by their case.
I'm not sure if the Note 2 has the same wacom digitizer built-in, but I don't think it does, even though they both use the s-pen. If it doesn't, it should have no effect on your screen. - 05-31-2013, 05:15 PM #4
Re: Does magnet affect the screen?
In the manual for the phone it states to keep magnets away from the phone. There have been a few people on this forum that have experienced the blue dot caused by magnetic clasp on the case.

Re: Does magnet affect the screen?
I have a case that has magnetic kickstand. Ive had it for 5 months and have not noticed any ill effects. I suppose its possible that having a magnet directly ontop of the screen could cause some kind of issues ive never read definitive proof on the subject.

America lost 95,000 jobs in September. The 64,000 jobs added by private employers were outweighed by the 159,000 lost in the public sector, where employment declined due to a drop in the number of temporary census-related jobs and cuts in local government. The country's unemployment rate remained unchanged at 9.6%.
Britain's jobless rate for the three months to August was 7.7%, a tenth of a percentage point lower than that for the three months to May.
Industrial production in the euro area rose by 7.9% in the year to August. In Greece output shrank by 2.1% in August from a year earlier, making it the only euro-area country to record an annual decline. Output in Germany rose by 11% over the same period.
Germany's trade surplus shrank to €9 billion ($11.6 billion) in August from €13 billion in the previous month. Exports fell by 0.4% month-on-month in August, while imports rose by 0.9%. The country's current-account surplus narrowed to €4.6 billion in August from €9.1 billion in July.
India's industrial output grew by 5.6% in the year to August. This was markedly slower than July's 15.2% annual rate. The deceleration was largely the result of a drop in the output of capital goods, which fell by 2.6% in August from a year earlier.
Mexico's industrial growth accelerated to 8.1% in the year to August from July's 5.2% annual rate.
