Introducing the *new* Haverford Internship Network!
Still searching for a summer internship? Good news– you have access to hundreds of summer opportunities through CareerConnect, the Liberal Arts Career NetWORK (LACN), Internships.com and other industry specific listings on the CCPA's Virtual Career Resources listed on the CCPA's Internships & Externships page. You can also gather advice from Haverford alumni via the Fords Directory and the Haverford and Bi-Co groups on Linkedin. These are all great resources for finding internship openings and advice for getting your application noticed.
But did you know that some of the best resources for figuring out which industries or employers might be a good fit for you, learning about what an intern actually does at a particular employer, and seeking advice for putting together the strongest application are fellow students who have already been through the process?
No, I'm not suggesting you hang out in front of the Dining Center passing out postcard size versions of your resume (although that would likely get you noticed.) I'm suggesting you talk with your friends and classmates, especially upper-classmen, who have been through the internship search process before, and ask them for advice.
The *new* Haverford Internship Network, a searchable database with over 100 current students who have volunteered to speak with other students about their internship, is a fantastic resource for connecting with other students who share your career interests. Search options include industry, major, yes, and locations. Keep in mind that while the volunteers are usually able to provide helpful information and advice, they are not expected to help you "get the job."
To use this resource, go to www.haverford.edu/ccpa/internships_and_externships/ (Haverford login is required to gain access.)
And why the Beatles to start this blog? So far when I've looked at the database with a student and we scroll down the list of former interns who match his or her targeted search I hear, "Oh my gosh! That's my friend!" Some of the most helpful internship search resources are closer than you think.
The CCPA extends a hearty "thank you" to all of the students who have signed up to be listed in the network.

Meeting Houses
For the past few weeks, I have been scanning and cataloging pictures of meeting houses from all over the United States. Photographs, newspaper clippings, and post cards document the many variations of these buildings. Although they share the same function, meeting houses varied in their locations, materials, and styles.
The meeting houses that I have found were spread all over the country from Philadelphia to Seattle. Their locations in time varied too. The earliest I worked on was the High Street or Great Meeting House in Philadelphia from the 1690s!
Trying to find the histories for the meeting houses can be a daunting task, but it is very interesting to learn about how they evolved over time. Many meeting houses started out as log structures. As time passed, more permanent stone or brick structures replaced these earlier buildings.
A unique example of a more ephemeral meeting house is one in Kansas. Dating to 1885, the Haviland Friends Church started out as a building constructed of sod!
Buildings featured many different styles. Most of them were simple one or two-story buildings; however, there were some exceptions to the rule. There were several large Greek Revival buildings and a few that had Gothic details.
Working with these images has been really interesting so far. The most challenging ones are the unknown meeting houses, but it is fun to be a detective!
For more information and images of meeting houses, see Triptych.

At One-Year Anniversary Of Lockport Murder, Corwin Joins Call For Massive Restructuring Of OCFS And Juvenile System
A Legislative Column from Assemblywoman Jane Corwin (R,C,I-Clarence)
June 8, 2010
In light of today's solemn one-year anniversary of the tragic and brutal murder of Rene Greco at Wyndham Lawn School in Lockport, I am both encouraged by the governor's plan to revamp the state's system for housing juvenile offenders, but also dismayed at the total lack of leadership and accountability at the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). Since 2007, OCFS has increasingly lost control and applied failed tactics to evaluating, housing and ensuring the safety of juveniles and staff in the system. Legislators from both sides of the aisle have called for the resignation of Gladys Carrion, the commissioner of OCFS, who has overseen the deterioration of a department that is charged with accepting and ultimately re-incorporating troubled juveniles back into society. Unfortunately, in light of the tragic and preventable murder of Rene Greco at a state-owned facility, and now with new allegations of social events that turned into "sex parties" at a Hudson Valley detention center, it is abundantly clear that the current leadership and system are unsustainable. Recently, a report by Assemblyman Lancman on "Employee Safety in the New York State Juvenile System" shows that, in 2007, current OCFS Commissioner Carrion took over responsibilities for improving the state's juvenile justice system. Due to high recidivism rates by juveniles, an accidental death at a home in Fulton County and high costs, reforms to the system were applied. Unfortunately, these reforms have led to a systematic breakdown in discipline, as staff members have become increasingly scared of retaliation by violent youths or legal repercussions should they apply the mandated restraining mechanisms. Most troubling, however, is the report's finding that workers' compensation incidents that occurred due to "assaults and violent acts by persons" increased by almost 50 percent. Tragically included in that statistic is the murder of Rene Greco at an OCFS-run facility – Wyndham Lawn School in Lockport. All told, my colleague's report on Ms. Carrion's tenure as overseer of the juvenile justice system indicates a complete and total malfunction. Therefore, I join my colleagues in the Legislature and respectfully request that Governor Paterson dismiss Gladys Carrion as commissioner of OCFS and, more importantly, conduct a comprehensive and systemic retooling of the juvenile justice system in New York state. Anyone who believes the current administration or system at OCFS is performing in an acceptable and efficient manner is either intentionally ignoring the facts or not privy to information on recent happenings at state-run juvenile facilities. On a positive note, I applaud Governor Paterson for spearheading a new oversight office and tighter restrictions on who can be incarcerated within the state system. However, it is regrettable that despite an entire taxpayer-funded state department (OCFS), fully staffed and supposedly knowledgeable in juvenile justice, we are forced to create an entirely new bureaucracy to address significant breakdowns of the current system. As New York state allocates millions of dollars, countless hours, and a multitude of staff for the detention and education of juvenile offenders, I believe it to be incumbent upon the governor and Legislature to not only protect and discipline the juveniles in the system, but also to protect the integrity of the system by holding the leadership accountable for their policies and management. Just as a private company would hold their management accountable for poor performance or negligence, New York state must subscribe to the similar notion that Gladys Carrion is wholly responsible for the recent failures that have taken place under her voluntary supervision of the juvenile justice system. Consequently, I would hope that new leadership and a new policy that focuses on staff safety and tighter restrictions on the juveniles in the system would be implemented. Simply getting rid of the upper management at OCFS will not solve the deep-rooted problems that have led to a spike in violence at facilities. I propose a bi-partisan, informal commission of knowledgeable stakeholders to pin down a comprehensive new policy direction that ensures staff safety and tighter restrictions on juveniles in the state system. Going forward, I am anxious to see OCFS re-tool, re-staff and re-evaluate their undertaking of the critical and worthwhile goal of disciplining and re-incorporating youthful offenders back into our society.

This is the spoiler post for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The non-spoiler post is here.
Rowling, J.K., John Tiffany, & Jack Thorne: (08) Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
The library got me the newest installment in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter saga, the script for the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, on its release, a bit to my surprise, and I opened it up mostly because I couldn't decide what else I was in the mood for, and I figured spoilers would be rampant soon enough. (This is technically a play by Jack Thorne, based on a story by Rowling, John Tiffany, and Thorne; I've put the author names in the order they appear on the cover.)
Unfortunately, through no fault of its own, The Cursed Child hinges on two things that leave me entirely cold: time travel and daddy issues. And, of course, it's the script of a play, so there's an additional barrier to emotional immersion as a reader. Which is not to say that a play can't be emotionally engaging just on the page: I've read at least three plays that I was enraptured by, though of course I've booklogged none of them (M. Butterfly, Angels in America, and The Lady's Not for Burning; I've been fortunate enough to see the last two live after I read them). But the format didn't give me the nudge I needed to get over my general lack of interest in the play's topics.
This all left me with plenty of mental space to be distracted by several things that were mostly incidental to the plot but felt . . . gross. Here are two super-tiny, entirely content-free examples: 1) stage directions reading, "It's a lame trick. Everyone enjoys its lameness"; and 2) a location where magic is used "for fun": " . . . knitting wool is enchanted into chaos, and male nurses are made to dance tango." Because 1) it would be cool if people didn't use "lame" to mean "weak or lousy" and 2) ha, ha, it's so funny that men are forced to tango with each other! Are these incredibly small things? Yes. Are they entirely unnecessary? Yes. Did they pull me out of a narrative that I already wasn't engaged with? Yes. (There are bigger and more plot-critical things, too, which I will put in a spoiler post.)
In summary: if you don't mind daddy issues and time travel, and if you really care a lot about the family lives of some of the HP characters post-novels, this may be for you. If you wanted a wider scope post-novels, this is not.
(I do think it would be interesting to see the play if only for how they manage the considerable special effects necessary, however.)
A spoiler post follows.
Novik, Naomi: (09) League of Dragons
I wrote a thoroughly non-spoiler review of the final book in Naomi Novik's Temeraire series, League of Dragons, over at Tor.com. I also wrote a thoroughly spoiler-filled reread of the entire series, including League, if that would be of interest.
Fink, Joseph & Jeffrey Cranor: Welcome to Night Vale
I tried both listening and reading to Welcome to Night Vale: A Novel, by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, which may have been my mistake. You see, I'm very picky about what audiobooks I listen to, because many books are just too slow out loud for my tastes. But I'd listened to the first chapter that was released as an extra on the podcast, and in general I'm just so used to Night Vale as an audio-first experience that I decided to give it a try.
I believe I got to about chapter 8 before I gave up, because it was just not working for me: as a novel, it's far longer and slower than the podcast, naturally, and my mind was drifting far too much while I was driving. This is nothing against Cecil Baldwin's performance as a narrator, which is excellent as always; it's just not what works for me in audio.
But this may have carried over into my experience of the book, which basically felt like a whole lot of waiting for things to happen. And I genuinely have no idea how fair an assessment this is, because I tried to re-read once I knew the ending, to see the whole shape, and I couldn't make myself do it; I kept checking social media and playing silly games instead, before I gave up and reminded myself this wasn't homework, it was supposed to be enjoyable.
(Oh, another thing that didn't dispose me well toward the book, which I think can be reasonably laid at the feet of its creators: the podcast episode that was released immediately before the novel was available was called "An Epilogue," and opens thusly (via):
The last couple weeks, as we all know, have been eventful ones. I'm not going to go over everything again – we all know what happened. We are well read, well informed people who have paid attention to the whole recent "KING CITY" affair. We know about the terrible ordeals that Diane Crayton and Jackie Fierro endured. We know how their troubles all ended up. And we know the truth about The Man in the Tan Jacket. We know all about him now, because of what Diane and Jackie found out. So I won't go over all of that.
Which is (a) not how people talk — commit to your framing device, damn it — and (b) the kind of thing that makes me want to say "Yes, you're very smart. Shut up," like Peter Falk in The Princess Bride. And the whole episode is like that, nothing happening but blatant teasers for the novel.)
So I was grumpy and felt like things were moving slowly when I shifted to reading; would the free-floating omni POV and expository prose have gotten on my nerves without that? For instance:
Josh sometimes appears human. When he does, he is often short, chubby-cheeked, pudgy, wearing glasses.
"Is that how you see yourself, Josh?" Diane [his mother] once asked.
"Sometimes," Josh replied.
"Do you like the way you look?" Diane once followed up.
"Sometimes," Josh replied.
Diane did not press Josh further. She felt his terse answers were a sign he did not want to talk much.
Josh wished his mother talked to him more. His short answers were a sign he didn't know how to socialize well.
Similarly, was I discounting character development because of my mood, and failing to give enough slack to the need to establish location and worldbuilding for new readers, just because I already knew it? Would I have found charming and in-character the chapter that's just a Carlos monologue, if I weren't in the mood to say "ugh, that's just an excuse to give Dylan Marron a speech for the audiobook?" I can't say.
I can recognize that some of the book's themes are laudable, even if I can't make myself care about them. And I did enjoy some of the small touches, particularly the house's thoughts and the man in the gray pin-striped business suit. Further, other podcast fans like this just fine–see, for instance, Amal El-Mohtar at NPR–so it can't only be a book for readers new to Night Vale. But fairly or unfairly, it just wasn't for me.
(Oh, and if you're new to Night Vale and are arachnophobic, you want to avoid the book and podcast both.)
Novik, Naomi: Uprooted
I reviewed Naomi Novik's new standalone fantasy novel, Uprooted, over at Tor.com. As the title of the post says, it's not the book I expected, based on the first three chapters: it's better. Check it out.
Addison, Katherine: The Goblin Emperor
I should really start booklogging again, shouldn't I?
Katherine Addison's The Goblin Emperor is a standalone fantasy novel that was nominated, on its own merits, for a Hugo this year. As the first novel under a new name by Sarah Monette, I was quite looking forward to it; and I enjoyed it very much, though it is certainly not for everyone.
The main thing to know about this book is that it is a story of one person's growth and development, specifically Maia's journey from the despised fourth son of an emperor, raised in isolation and near-ignorance, to an effective Emperor after an airship explosion kills his father and his three older brothers. There are subplots in which things happen, but the book is about Maia; this gives it a somewhat unusual shape, which is why it's useful to know that up-front.
(The secondary thing to know is that if you, like me, have trouble with decoding the meanings of names—I was too sleep-deprived the first time through and thought the variants on titles were personal names, so I could not figure out who anyone was after a certain point in the book—there's an appendix that explains things.)
This is a single-volume kingdom-level fantasy, populated entirely by non-humans (distinctly non-mythic elves and goblins; Maia's mother was a goblin, which is one of the reasons his elf father despised him), set at the start of industrialization, all of which are refreshing changes from multi-volume medievaloid epics. But the setting also leads to some intrinsic awkwardness about the very premise. Maia's journey is a fantasy of political agency, but—as in-book revolutionaries remind us—no matter how much Maia tries to improve politics by promoting voices that had been marginalized, the system he sits atop is still one that denies legitimate political agency to the majority of people. Of course this is a problem that all novels about the triumph of non-elected rulers have, but (perhaps unfairly) The Goblin Emperor's very recognition of the problem made it more prominent in my experience of the book. Not so much that I didn't enjoy myself, but it was still a little weird.
One criticism I've heard is that Maia is too nice. I think that the book is careful to show the effort it takes him, and the reasons he prioritizes empathy, but I recognize that mileage could reasonably vary on this. (Also, I'd much prefer to cut people slack for being perhaps unrealistically nice than the reverse.) Another is that the opening is pretty slow; I was drawn in by Maia's emotions as he's suddenly thrust into being Emperor with almost none of the knowledge he needs, but if the opening doesn't inspire similar feelings in you, you may find it rough going.
I did enjoy this a lot, especially on the second time through when I'd figured out the names. More, on balance, I think it is more successful as a single book than Ancillary Sword. I look forward to reading The Three-Body Problem, the last Hugo nominee for Best Novel I intend to read [*], and seeing how I'll rank this category overall.
[*] If you haven't heard about this: here's one post and a followup with context, and here's a handy list of nominees.
Tolkien, J.R.R.: Hobbit, The (reread)
This is a post about rereading The Hobbit in two different ways.
First, I don't think I ever actually linked to the chapter-by-chapter reread I did over at Tor.com in 2012-2013, with revisits for the movies, and one more post coming, obviously. (I did The Lord of the Rings, too, over a much longer time.)
Second, Chad and I have just read it out loud to SteelyKid (who turned six over the summer and is in first grade). We alternated nights, and started out with Chad reading odd-numbered chapters and I reading even, but then Chad combined chapters 13 and 14 and so we switched even-odd status for the rest of the book.
It was so much fun, reading it to her. Her attention did drift a bit during long descriptive passages—generally she's reading books that are more heavily illustrated than my childhoold coffee-table-sized hardcover with pictures from the Rankin-Bass animated adaptation, so she has more to occupy her. (Also, reading illustrated books, as opposed to picture books, introduces the problem of spoilers—and not just when she flips ahead, either, but when they put the most dramatic image of the chapter at the front no matter where it falls in the chapter.) But she paid enough attention to notice things like Thorin not being captured by the spiders being signalled clearly throughout the chapter, which I personally never noticed until the reread project, and was involved enough to want to interrupt for long discussions of why not this method or that method to kill Smaug. I was also surprised to find that all the songs I read went very smoothly out loud, even the ridiculous elf tra-la-la-lally ones. (Some of the chapters were really pushing the limits of bedtime, though, in the vicinity of 45 minutes or so, in case you're thinking of doing this yourself.)
We're not reading her LotR any time soon, because clearly she's not ready for it, but I can definitely say that first grade is a dandy time to read The Hobbit.
(Chad showed her the Rankin-Bass movie, which I don't get the impression she was very enamored of, and which I still have never seen. Afterward she asked him if she could see the new ones now, because she'd heard them mentioned on the radio. He said no.)
Milan, Courtney: (102) The Heiress Effect
I was lukewarm about the opening book in Courtney Milan's Brothers Sinister series. But not about the second book, The Heiress Effect: I love it passionately and with only the tiniest little reservations. I laughed, I cried, I couldn't stop reading, it's awesome. (I actually read this quite some time ago, but when I was looking at my ereader I couldn't remember if I had because sleep deprivation, so ended up reading it all over again.)
Why, you say, is it awesome? Let me tell you, dear reader. Here are our main characters:
Jane Fairfield is stunningly rich but needs to remain unmarried until her epileptic sister Emily comes of age, because her sister's guardian, in misguided attempts to keep Emily safe, confines her and subjects her to painful medical quackery—which Jane attempts to deflect with bribes and other methods, but to do that, she needs to be in the household. So she deliberately makes herself garish and horrible to repel suitors.
Oliver Marshall is the illegitimate son of a duke (see the prequel novella) who was raised in a loving, hard-working farming family and who desperately wants a political career to address class injustices (the political plot of the novel is the Reform Act of 1867, which increased male suffrage in the UK). To do that, he's taught himself to fit in with the elite, to swallow their insults and work behind the scenes for incremental change.
Oliver sees what Jane's doing almost immediately, the first person to do so; but he can't afford to like her as she is, and she can't afford to be the kind of political wife he's looking for.
Also, there is a secondary romance involving Jane's sister Emily and an Indian man who's come to England to study law and work for better political treatment of India (this is ten years after what was then known as the Sepoy Mutiny). This is my first little reservation, that this whole plotline may be slightly too easy, but the two of them are very sweet and a lot of the complexities are at least raised, and I figure I'm allowed a little bit of wish-fulfillment in my fiction. (At the epilogue, it's about twenty years early, historically, for an Indian MP.)
(My second little reservation is that one character is too blatantly Snidely Whiplash. He's sadly plausible, and I guess everyone else turns out to be at least a bit nuanced, but it feels rather on-the-nose, especially early on.)
So: characters I liked immediately, genuine conflicts, and the thing that really hit a nerve for me: it's a book about the personal costs of fighting oppression: internalized -isms, learning the dangers of using the master's tools, and doing what you can with what you have (the part with the grand adventure is what started my waterworks). Oh, and grace notes of female friendship, strong adoptive families, and not magically fixing or shaming people with disabilities, too.
It's awesome. Go read it.
Leckie, Ann: (02) Ancillary Sword
I liked Ancillary Justice very much. I . . . don't actually know what I think about its sequel, Ancillary Sword.
For me, Sword is such a middle book that I can't fully assess it until I know the shape of the whole series. It's doing fascinating and important things in terms of character growth and worldbuilding (which, because the Imperial Radch is an empire built on conquest and economic exploitation, involves a lot of examination of systems of oppression). It has some great bits like a character who reminded me of Delirium in a particularly dangerous state, and four-fifths of a limerick that I was sad to learn doesn't have a last line. But it's also a trip away from the main action set up in the last book that, by the end—as one character explicitly says—has added at least one entirely new complication and not resolved any old ones. And so I feel my assessment is on hold, waiting to see if the character growth and worldbuilding pays off sufficiently to justify the somewhat slower pace and the change of focus.
(I'm also a little uneasy about the combination of forced labor on plantations and this being a fantasy of Breq's political agency. But people who I trust to be more clued-in on things like this than me, such as N.K. Jemisin, don't seem to have had a problem with that, and I can see ways in which the book attempts to address the problems with that setup. For me it's more a balance/tone thing than anything, and I'm feeling a little raw on these topics right now, so I'm not sure how far I trust my uneasiness.)
Anyway. Pretty much every other review I've seen seems to like this book as much or more than the first, so chalk me up as a tired outlier who is, nevertheless, very much looking forward to the next book.
Colley, Linda: Britons: Forging the Nation 1707-1837
Since Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is, in part, about the hierarchies and inequalities of British society, I asked the Internet for a social history of Britain during this time period and was recommended Linda Colley's Britons: Forging the Nation 1707-1837.
Britons starts with the Act of Union that joined Scotland with England and Wales and ends with Queen Victoria's accession, particularly emphasizing the last fifty or so years of that time. It argues that during this period, people in Great Britain [*] formed a British identity that supplemented existing identities. This was the result of multiple factors, including being a Protestant island threatened by Catholic invaders, actual or potential; the pervasive importance of trade; reaction to losing the American war; and the changes wrought by widespread military mobilization that allowed limited increases in participation in public life for men and women.
[*] Not the United Kingdom; this is not a book that attempts to grapple with Ireland, except to discuss Catholic emancipation. Relatedly, this is not a book concerned with the morality of imperialism.
I read this like the homework it is, skimming for the important bits (and making extremely, extremely brief notes to myself summarizing each chapter, which I'm putting behind the jump). It seemed readable to a non-historian, and puts a useful emphasis on primary sources such as popular political art and government surveys; because of the way I read it, I can't really say whether the level of detail was illuminating or excessive.
At any rate, a useful overview for my purposes, and as relevant today as it was in 1992, when the first edition was published (there's a 2009 revised edition, which was not the one I had library access to). Colley is still writing about this topic: see her archive at The Guardian.

ASHA is proud to support a culture of volunteerism in its employees and is committed to playing a role in strengthening our local community. Within ASHA, staff may choose to serve on the Community Outreach Team, which identifies, promotes, and plans community service initiatives to assist local area organizations/charities that are consistent with ASHA's mission and vision and of interest to staff. The Community Outreach Team helps staff to fulfill their own call to service by offering varied team-sponsored volunteer and donation opportunities throughout the year, thus allowing staff to choose when, where, and how they will volunteer.
ASHA seeks to develop new partnerships and long-term relationships with community organizations. An example of this is the Smart Sacks program that lets staff fill and deliver backpacks of kid-friendly food to a local elementary school every Friday, helping to sustain at-risk children through the weekend.
The Community Outreach Team maintains a list of local area volunteer opportunities for staff to reference. In addition to volunteering in their local communities, ASHA staff volunteer and donate to organizations within community surrounding the National Office including:
600+ pairs collected for Soles4Souls
Earth Day clean up
ASHA has a commitment to being a green organization from our Gold LEED certified green building to our "Green at Work, Green at Home, & Green in Between" program.
The Green Team: A staff volunteer group, develop ways to help educate staff about environmental issues including a biannual green event, lunch & learn programs, and via ASHA's intranet site.
Green at Work: National Office recycles whenever possible, in fact, 72% of the waste at the National Office is recycled, one of the highest percentages in all county businesses. ASHA has received numerous recycling awards. Staff are encouraged to use two-sided printing. ASHA has eliminated plastic flatware and paper cups reducing our footprint further. Staff volunteer to pick up trash on National Office grounds and surrounding county property. ASHA practices environmentally responsible purchasing including encouraging vendors to provide more green options.
Holiday drive yields bags of toys and clothing
Green at Home: Our intranet site provides staff with a variety of green links and information to help them be more green at home. The Good Green Bag loan program gives staff an opportunity to try out green products. We offer staff the opportunity to contribute to EarthShare through payroll deductions.
Green in Between: ASHA offers mass transit discounts, car pooling programs, information on how to increase gas mileage, and at our biannual event, test drives of new hybrid vehicles.
The National Office has initiated socially responsible processes for investing, purchasing, contracting, and obtaining sponsorships. National Office staff strive to maintain relationships with product and service vendors displaying business practices in line with the concept of social responsibility.

EFQM Excellence Model
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The EFQM Excellence Model is a non-prescriptive business excellence framework for organizational management systems, promoted by EFQM (formerly known as the European Foundation for Quality Management) and designed for helping organizations in their drive towards being more competitive. The Model is regularly reviewed and refined: the last update was published in 2013.
Regardless of sector, size, structure or maturity, organizations need to establish appropriate management systems in order to be successful. The EFQM Excellence Model is a practical tool to help organizations do this by measuring where they are on the path to excellence; helping them understand the gaps; and then stimulating solutions.
Over the years a number of research studies have investigated the correlation between the adoption of holistic Models, such as OIQ, Organizational Integrated Quality and EFQM Excellence Model, and improved organizational results. The majority of such studies show a positive linkage. One of the most comprehensive of these was carried out by Dr. Vinod Singhal of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Dr. Kevin Hendricks of the College of William and Mary.[1]
The EFQM Model provides a framework allowing organisations to determine their current "level of excellence" and where they need to focus improvement efforts. Moreover, the Model helps to ensure that business decisions incorporate the needs of all stakeholders and are aligned with the organisation's objectives.
The EFQM Model acts as a common reference tool helping organisations move towards excellence. Thus, the Model provides its users with a set of performance improvement tools in order for them to achieve and sustain results and Excellence. The Model is regularly reviewed to incorporate new ideas, concepts and learning. The last revision was published in 2013.[2]
The EFQM Model of excellence is used to get a 360 degree holistic view of the organizational performance. The fundamental concepts of excellence as given by the eight dimensions are the bed rock of characteristics of organizations that sustain over long period of time.
The EFQM Excellence Model is a widely used organisational framework in Europe, with about 30 000 organisations using it.[3] In recent years, more and more countries started implementing the Model, especially across Middle East and South America.
"All European organisations, both in the public and private sectors, are facing new challenges. The increasing pressure to compete on a global stage with limited resources means we all have to work together to secure our future prosperity, and that of generations to come", explained Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council. "The EFQM Excellence Model provides a framework that encourages cooperation, collaboration and innovation that we will need to ensure this goal is achieved".[3]
|This section does not cite any sources. (January 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Model can be used to understand the relations of cause and effects between what organisations do and the results they get. There are 3 components of the Model:[4]
- Fundamental concepts, representing eight core values or key management principles that drive sustainable success[5]
- Nine criteria, separated into categories of Enablers and Results[6]
- RADAR logic,[7] continuous improvement cycle used by EFQM. It was originally derived from the PDCA cycle.
EFQM Excellence Award[edit]
The EFQM Excellence Award is run annually by EFQM. It is designed to recognize organizations that have achieved an outstanding level of sustainable excellence, based on assessment against the EFQM Excellence Model.

After Robert Turner suffered a broken leg on Monday night in Houston, the New York Jets' already thin offensive line became nearly anorexic.
The players on this list are an emergency collection of NFL free agents or possible trade targets.
Turner contributed in a number of ways, including special teams. His absence from the jumbo formation will definitely be felt.
Turner's injury aside, the Jets could use help along the entire offensive line, especially at left guard and right tackle.
Some may be long shots as far as the economics are concerned, but the Jets do still have some money to spend.
If Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum can find a way to get one or two of these linemen without overpaying, it will go a long way toward improving the Jets Super Bowl aspirations.

Stage Buzz: Chicago Afrobeat Project and Carly Rae Jepsen
ilentertainer | Dec 14, 2012 | Comments 1
If the Chicago Afrobeat Project sent out snail-mail invitations to this weekend's 10th anniversary/CD release celebration, we imagine that a sprinkling of golden saxophone-shaped confetti and the dulcet tones of Sam Cooke's "Having A Party" would explode from the colorful notes upon opening. Since musical cards are bulky (not to mention expensive, just ask Hallmark), a Facebook event page will have to do. The collective prefers to save the fireworks for the stage anyway. Saturday's wild rumpus commemorates two milestones in the group's history – a decade in the biz and the unveiling of a fourth full-length, Nayash Up! (Jan. 8).
From Lake Street loft parties to cross-country tours and shared bills with Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat architect Fela Kuti, these locals revere the genre's socially conscious percussive traditions without succumbing to its constraints. Nayah Up! finds guitarist David Glines along with Garrick Smith (baritone sax), Kevin Ford (keyboards), Angelo Garcia (tenor sax), Graham Czach (bass), Justin Boyd (drums), and Danjuma Gaskin on (congas) toying with rock (Led Zeppelin), new wave (Talking Heads), and metal (System Of A Down). By filtering the familiar through CAbP's unique, floor-shaking prism, the band drains Radiohead of its frosty sterility, like a vampire turn in reverse. This warm-blooded flush overpowers "Inner City Blues Makes Ya Wanna Holler" thanks to full-bodied vocals from Ugochi and Squair Blaq. More Sonia Dada than originator Marvin Gaye, the single features the band's signature burning horn blasts – the musical equivalent to Truman Capote's "mean reds."
Specials guests JC Brooks (of Uptown Sound fame), Nathaniel Braddock, Ugochi and Ayodele Drum & Dance movers and shakers add to the carnival atmosphere. (Saturday@Double Door with Occidental Brothers Dance Band, Fatbook, and Bloco Maximo.)
How famous is Carly Rae Jepsen? Forget Grammy nominations (she nabbed two – Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance), YouTube views (358 million and counting), and cheeky parodies (from Olympians to Cookie Monster) as a gauge. These days the number of naughty pictures inadvertently floating about determines celebrity status. The "Call Me Maybe" singer narrowly escaped a hacker's attempt to shop photos of her unmentionables. The man turned himself in to authorities before Jepsen's privates became as ubiquitous as her hit song. Justin Bieber deserves credit for pushing the Canadian into the spotlight (our fruit basket is in the mail), but the bouncy simplicity (and a killer fool-proof pickup line) of "Call Me Maybe" did all the heavy lifting. Her sophomore release (who knew?), Kiss makes a solid case for the 26-year-old's longevity with the equally spritely and starry-eyed "This Kiss" and the besotted partnership with Owl City on "Good Time." Jepsen shares a bill with The Biebs at the B96 Pepsi Jingle Bash on Saturday at the Allstate Arena, but catch her without all the pomp and circumstance at a sanctioned after show in Arlington Heights. (Saturday@House of Entertainment & Music.)

Our website is friendly and informative for both children and parents to create a partnership together with a common goal; the importance of their education and being prepared..
My daughter (6 yrs.) and my son (4 yrs.) received Deanna and Jessica
along with the piggy banks and reflective bags and they have not stopped playing with them since they were opened. My kids have slept with their dolls, been on bike rides with them, and Deanna and Jessica have actually joined us at the dinner table each night. As a mom, the best part about owning these two new friends is the conversations we have had since their arrival. My daughter, especially, has asked so many questions about college it's unbelievable. "What is college? What will I do there? Can I learn how to be an astronaut there?" And my personal favorite, "Can I bring my doll to college too?" I actually had a vision of Deanna sitting on the shelf in my daughter's dorm room, all tattered and used from years of playful love. I can honestly say it is so refreshing to see my kids playing with a realistic sized doll (that is not naked!! Thank you!) that is themed around the idea of saving money for their future education. Every coin in my house has been enthusiastically dropped into these great piggy banks. Thank you College Savings Dolls!!! Love them!!

Floating Clinch above Weir Dam

Weir Dams are killers
The particular weir you are talking about is a much newer design that is most likely safer, but I wouldn't attempt it unless you really knew what you were doing. In over 12+ years of paddling whitewater, the only place I really thought I might have drown was on the weir dam from Big Creek leading to the Pigeon. Someone roped me out (pays to play with other who take rescue classes annually), and saved my butt. It took uf 45 minutes, and a tethered swiimer to recover my boat.
This was with people who were much better trained than the rescue squad.
If you keep your forward momentum and are able to maintain speed you will most likely plop through there like it was nothing. On the other hand, scrape on something and lose speed, or change you angle slightly, and it may be the last move you ever make
The first things paddlers are educated to are the dangers or strainers (downed trees), Undercut rocks (Plateau if full of them), sieves (rock strainer), recirculating hydraulics (don't spit you out), Flood waters, and WEIR DAMS.

(417) 778-6611
(24 hours)
P.O. Box 265
Alton, Missouri 65606
The Oregon County Jail is housed within the sheriff's office in the Oregon County Courthouse, Alton, Missouri.
The Oregon County Jail is an 8-bed facility. We have a total of 3 cell areas, 1 of which is generally used to house female detainees. We have 1 isolation cell, which is for high risk detainees who need additional supervision.
In addition to Oregon County inmates, we also hold detainees for the City of Alton. On occasion we will have a prisoner from another county awaiting extradition, transfer, change of venue on court case, or an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer.
The jail is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Our jail staff is always on the move in making certain all our duties and obligations are carried out.
Many people comment that a county detention officer is much the same job as working for the Department of Corrections (DOC). This is only true in the sense of keeping other people in custody. A DOC employee may be assigned a specific duty such as working kitchen duty, monitoring a housing unit, or staffing the control center. Our staff covers everything from intake, medical questions, assess risk and custody levels, monitor food preparation and service, monitor all inmate activities, dispense medications, follow Court orders on specific issues for detainees from no contact lists to mandatory urine testing, serve warrants, monitor suicidal persons, administer first aide, and handle visitation from attorneys, preachers, counselors, and family/friends. It is fair to say the duties of staff in the Oregon County Jail are extremely demanding.
We are often asked what kind of people we keep in the county jail. The answer is all kinds. We see good people who made a bad choice and do their time here while being cooperative and respectful and who will never return to custody to the type of person who should be warehoused for life. We hold people charged with mere speeding violations to murder. Nearly each day some or all of our staff will hear comments from detainee(s) about how they are going to either sue them, physically harm them or their family, yells obscenities, or makes outright profane and vulgar comments. Less frequently but at any time certain detainee's will take action toward assaulting another detainee or staff members, attempt suicide, attempt to clog the sewer system, attempt to flood the cell area, destroy jail property, or even throw food, fecal matter, or body fluids. We address such acts with strict disciplinary action and criminal charges whenever possible.
Oregon County Jail detainee(s) may receive commissary items through Keefe commissary.
There are two way to order:

Dan McClenaghan's Best Releases of 2013
Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette
ECM Records
Pianist Keith Jarrett's "Standards Trio," with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, recorded Somewhere live in 2009. After thirty years together, the group is still growing. This will have to be considered one of their best recordings.
Denny Zeitlin
Sunnyside Records
Pianist Denny Zeitlin has been spending much of the new millennium recording a series of excellent acoustic solo and trio outings. The innovative Both/And takes him back to where a large part of his heart has always been, with electronics. His electro-symphonic soundtrack to the classic remake of the Sci-Fi Film Invasion of the Bodysnatchers broke the ground. Both/And, an electro/acoustic masterpiece, digs deeper, for a superb "beyond category" recording.
Enrico Pieranunzi
Live at the Village Vanguard
CAM Jazz
Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi live at the legendary venue, The Village Vanguard, where so many of the great live albums have been recorded. Marc Johnson's on bass; with drummer Paul Motian playing on one of his last recordings before his passing in 2011. The music they made this night was magic.
Satoko Fujii Ma-Do
Time Stands Still
Libra Records
This is the third and last CD from pianist Satoko Fujii Ma-Do group. The band's bassist Norikatsu Koreyasu passed away shortly after the recording of the disc. Fujii seems to put together a new band or two every year. Ma-Do was one of her finest, most cohesive ensembles. This is Ma-Do's strongest offering, and one of the best discs in Fujii's extensive discography.
Roberta Piket
Thirteenth Note Records
Pianist Roberta Piket is a versatile and under-appreciated stylist who can play inside or out. Her recordings have been mostly trio or quartet affairs. This is her first solo outing, opening with the tenderest of renditions of the Great American Songbook tune "I See Your Face Before Me." She visits, along the way, Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Marian McFarland, and Sam Rivers, treating each composition with reverence while injecting some of her own slightly quirky musical personality and classical background into them.
Billy Mintz
Mintz Quartet
Thirteenth Note Records
Veteran jazzer Billy Mintz is one of a small handful of top level drummers. He's also a writer of beautiful, off kilter compositions; and for Mintz Quartet he's assembled a group of under-the-radar all starssaxophonist John Gross, who is possessed of one of the most distinctive, raw-but-tender tenor tones in jazz; pianist/organist Roberta Piket; bassist Putter Smith. One of the tests for the "Best of Year" lists is how often the disc finds its way back to the CD player. This one won't stop going there, and it sounds better every time.

Training Diaries 2014 – Going back down memory Lane!
Training Diaries 2014 – Going back down memory Lane!
The fitness goals for 2014 are clear. To have two HKTR teams and attempt to run the Oxfam Trailwalker in less than 14 hours!
Hmm. Sounds almost unachievable considering that not-so-long-back, we were only a 22-hour OTW team! And, 22-hours at that time was a gargantuan task for us! During those years, we thought that those who did sub-16 hours on the OTW were just plain old crazy. Now, we seem to have joined that club!
In fact, I remember pitching myself as the "fastest guy in the HK Trampers" to Steve Sparky, our strict team boss during those years. HK Trampers is a hiking group and my sales pitch to Steve was that I ran upto Sharp Peak and did a 20km loop during weekends which I thought was totally jaw-dropping HARDCORE! I was expecting him to go "wow! you are da man!"
This is the email I wrote to him.

How do I best combine running and leg lifts like squats?
How do I best combine running and leg lifts like squats? In an effort to increase muscle mass, I've started doing a whole body routine at the gym 3 times a week (I used to do chest/back, arms/shoulders, legs). I like the new routine, but it also means I'm squatting 3 times a week and my legs are SORE after squatting (like wobbling up the stairs sore). I'm also still trying to run on off days but it's especially hard even days after hard leg workouts. How do you all combine lifting and running regimens? Does leg soreness from squats get any better with time?
Why do I burp when I run?
Why do I always burp or feel like I have to burp when I go running? This happens even if it has been several hours since I last ate. It doesn't happen every single time, but probably 80% of the time. I like running, its just gross getting a taste of that yogurt you ate 2 hours ago when its 100 degrees outside. Anyone have similar problems? Anything you can do to solve this?

Since it launched in North America on March 27, the Nintendo 3DS has sold upwards of 830,000 units here. It's not a small number, but no one's going to argue that the release has been a blockbuster success. Blame the lack of quality launch titles and the high $250 price tag, two issues Nintendo intends to correct before the holiday season descend.
The company announced in a press release that, starting August 12, the price of a 3DS will be reduced down to $170. That's a whopping $80 off the original price, and less than six months after the hardware officially launched. With Sony's PlayStation Vita probably arriving this fall carrying its own $250 price, most will agree that the Nintendo price cut was necessary in order to keep the less powerful 3DS competitive.
Unfortunately, that still leaves 830,000 North Americans out an additional $80, just for supporting the new device and buying it early. Nintendo has a plan for them too. Anyone who owns a 3DS and accesses the 3DS eShop prior to August 11 at 11:59pm ET -- you just need to sign on and get to the main page, according to the press release -- will automatically be registered as a member of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program.
The Ambassador Program is basically all about giving you free games, in two announced phases. The first begins on September 1, when 3DS Ambassadors will be given free download rights to 10 soon-to-be-released NES Virtual Console games, including Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Jr, Balloon Fight, Ice Climber and The Legend of Zelda. The games won't be available to the general public until later in the year, but Ambassadors will be able to get them starting September 1.
Phase two is set to unfurl "by the end of 2011," with Ambassadors receiving free download access to 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console titles, including Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$ and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong. Unlike the NES VC releases, "Nintendo has no plans" to sell these to the general public through the device's digital store, according to the press release.

Little River Chptr Trout Unlimited Acid Deposition class?????????

It's great to see all of you interested in the Acid Deposition project. We started this about 13 years ago. Paula and I did it for a few years before we got in the flyshop business in a serious way. Our site began at campsite 23, several miles from our truck. Back then we could drive up the East Prong of the Little River much further than you can now. The very first time we did this it snowed. We walked several miles and when we got to Goshen Prong we realized that a piece of equipment that we needed was left in the truck. Joe Hatton, the "Ultimate TU Volunteer" walked back to the truck in the snow and got the equipment we needed. I bet he put in 24 miles that day. This has been an extremely worthwhile project. You will have a lot of fun and learn much about our trout streams and in the long run you will be essential in keeping them populated with trout. It's also an honor to be part of the Fisheries Department that Steve Moore and Matt Kulp do such an excellent job managing.

How to Make a Post-it Note Lamp
Decorate your lamp shade in a mess-free way: with Post-it Notes! These old-school office supplies are the easiest way to add some do-it-yourself color to home accessories.
-If you really wanna make a room stick out, try decorating your light fixtures with 1 simple office supply. Post-its. All you need is a stack or two of post-its in coordinating colors and a lampshade. Starting at the bottom of the lampshade, begin sticking down a row of the same colored sticky note around the entire base of the shade. If the notes are having trouble sticking, reinforce them with a piece of double-sided tape or try coating your lampshade in a sheet of computer paper. Continue adding rows of post-its layering each new row about half an inch over the previous one. You can create a straight pattern or try creating an ombre pattern like the one I'm creating here by using gradually darker paper colors. When you've reached the top of your lamp, you're done. Just turn on the light and watch the colors diffuse through the post-it notes. For more fun tips and videos, head to rachaelraymag.com.

When I go out to eat or see some dish on TV that I think looks tasty, I always try to get the recipe and then make the changes I think will improve it. Sometimes the results are not what I expect, but other times I feel very happy with the way things turn out. I think that is both the reward and danger of culinary experimentation.
One of the results I was very happy with was a strata I first ate at Panera Bread. They have three different kinds: four cheese, spinach and bacon and spinach and artichoke. I love the first two but do not care for artichoke version, so I looked online for some recipes and went to work on what I called Ben's Strata. This is a perfect Sunday brunch, although it can be eaten as lunch or even dinner as well.
I first made this with the pastry dough I use for the empanadas I made for my baking business, but it can be replaced by French bread or just slices of white or wheat bread (even rye, if you prefer).
- 2 cups French bread cut in small cubes.
- Or 6 to 8 slices of white or wheat bread without the crust.
- Or a thin layer of pastry to cover a 9" x 13" glass baking-dish
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 Bell pepper (red or green) cubed
- ½ Onion
- 1 ½ cup Milk
- 6 - 8 Eggs
- 2 cups Lunchmeat (Ham, bacon or turkey, or all of them)
- Fresh parsley
- Salt
- Black ground pepper
- Sautee onion in extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the bell pepper and let it soften.
- Add lunchmeat and let it cook with the vegetables
- In a bowl beat the eggs, cheese, milk, salt and ground pepper.
- When the lunchmeat is cooked add it to the ingredients in the bowl, hot ingredients to cool ingredients, and mix.
- For better results, refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Layer bread or pastry dough over greased glass baking-dish.
- Pour the content of the bowl
- Top with fresh parsley
- Cover the dish with foil and cook for about 30-35 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Delicious! And the best part is that there are many variations to this dish, so it's never boring. You can substitute the bell peppers with broccoli or spinach, or use different types of cheeses. The possibilities are endless.
Buen provecho!

Rochester Makes It Three Straight
from Knighthawks.net
BUFFALO - The Rochester Knighthawks concluded their back-to-back weekend with a decisive 15-7 victory over their New York State Thruway rival Buffalo Bandits at the First Niagara Center on Saturday night.
Goaltender Matt Vinc led the early charge for the Knighthawks, shutting out the Bandits in the first quarter and limiting them to only two goals in the first half. The reigning National Lacrosse League Defensive Player of the Week finished the game with 48 saves on 55 shots in just over 55 minutes between the pipes.
"Anytime you come into this arena, it's definitely a tough atmosphere to play in," Vinc said. "I don't have a lot of wins in this arena, so it's great to get one on a back-to-back weekend for sure."
Rochester's offense came alive with four goals in each of the last three quarters. The Knighthawks led by as much as eight in the second half. Cory Vitarelli led the team with four goals and Cody Jamieson finished with two goals and a career-best seven assists. Stephen Keogh added six points (3+3).
"Everyone is involved (in the offense) and moving the ball, and when we do that we will be successful," Vitarelli said. "Obviously when you score that many goals, that's good, but our defense has been awesome and 'Vno' has stepped up too, so it's an entire team effort."
"We knew (the offense) was going to come because they have had chances every time they've stepped on the floor," said head coach Mike Hasen.
Only 27 seconds into the first quarter, Joe Walters gave Rochester a 1-0, which it would never relinquish. Nearly nine minutes later, Keogh scored shorthanded, and Casey Powell closed the opening quarter with his only goal of the night.
David Brock scored unassisted 2:09 into the second quarter, cutting the deficit to two, but that would be the closest Buffalo would come. The Knighthawks scored four of the next five goals to close the half with a 7-2 lead. Keogh's goal at 4:41 in the second quarter chased Buffalo goaltender Anthony Cosmo from the game, but he would return in the second half. Also on that goal, Powell (1+4) earned his 350th career assist.
Brock was assessed a five-minute high sticking penalty 1:27 into the third quarter, allowing Rochester to score two power-play goals by Keogh and Jamieson respectively. The Knighthawks finished 3-of-5 on the man advantage while not allowing a power-play goal to Buffalo on six chances.
"We stepped into this year trying to improve on our power play and our short-man," Hasen said. "Our short-man has been doing a real good job and again tonight, when our power play is on the floor, we've been burying it a little more often than we usually do."
Defenseman Tyler Burton made it 10-3 with his second goal in as many days, and Vitarelli made it an eight-goal lead with his first of the game with 4:01 remaining in the third quarter.
Vitarelli scored three of Rochester's four goals in the fourth quarter. His first of the frame was an over-the-shoulder shot, his second was a diving tip-in after a behind-the-back feed from Keogh and his third highlight-reel goal was a cross-crease dive.
"I'm lucky that shots like that seem to go in for me," Vitarelli said. "I hope it continues, but our offense, we just roll and everyone can do that."
After a 0-3 start to the season, the defending champions evened their record at .500 with three consecutive wins in eight days, tying them with the Bandits (3-3) for second in the East Division.
"Back-to-backs are normally pretty hard," Vitarelli said. "We knew we had an opportunity to get back to .500 and this was by far our best lacrosse so far. We're definitely happy to get two wins."

Stock watch
Jordan Adams, UCLA: Adams was my choice for "Stock Up" last time around, but for the second time, no one's stock on UCLA's roster has gone up as much as Adams' has in recent games. As the Bruins' best freshman so far this season, Adams went through a mini-slump and quickly pulled himself out of it in UCLA's last two games. He's shot over 50 percent in that span and averaged over 20 points per game, becoming the Bruins' most consistent scorer -- for the most part -- early on this season.
Jahii Carson, Arizona State: Possibly the Pac-12's best freshman scorer this season and fourth nationally in that category, Carson has carried the Sun Devils' offense with his ability to score points in bunches. Since scoring 30 against Creighton in a losing effort, Carson is averaging more than 18 points per game and shooting a better percentage from the field. The freshman still turns the ball over too much -- something that he'll need to improve on if Arizona State has a chance in the conference. But for now, Carson has been a huge, essential part of the Sun Devils' offense.
Michael Carter-Williams, Syracuse: Carter-Williams seemed to sit idly by last year as he learned from the bench, and clearly, he learned quite a bit in his bench-ridden freshman campaign. Now in the elite class of point guards in the NCAA this season, Carter-Williams has averaged a double-double with 12.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game while anchoring the Syracuse offense. He's a triple-double threat every time he comes on the court, and there aren't many players like that anywhere in the nation. A 6-6 point guard, Carter-Williams definitely has the look of an NBA lottery pick.
Tony Parker, UCLA: Parker was one of the nation's most prized recruits, and despite being the third-highest-rated recruit in the Bruins' class this season, there were certainly expectations on Parker's shoulders. But so far, Parker just hasn't shown much. Sure, some of that has to do with limited minutes and a sprained ankle he sustained in pre-game warm-ups. But with such limited depth on the Bruins' roster up front and the struggles of the Wear twins to defend in the post, Parker could be very valuable as UCLA heads into the conference season. They certainly hope he can get back on track soon.
E.J. Singler, Oregon: This isn't so much a reflection of what Singler has done this season. It's more a reflection of how his role has changed in the Ducks' offense. He hasn't shot very well so far this season, and while his teammates have certainly picked the slack -- leading Oregon to an 8-1 record while shooting a really impressive 48 percent from the field -- Singler was supposed to be the Ducks' most important player. He just hasn't been that so far this season, but Oregon hasn't skipped a beat, as players like freshman guard Damyean Dotson have carried the load.
Brian Okam, Appalachian State: If you've seen the video of the worst free throw in college basketball history, you'll understand this pick. If you haven't, watch the quick clip, and trust me, his stock is down.

If you think Austin, Texas' South by Southwest festival is only a showcase for new talent, think again.
This year's music portion, beginning Wednesday, March 16, features several heavyweights, including TV on the Radio, the Strokes, Cee-Lo Green, emerging hip-hop collective Odd Future, Erykah Badu, and Lupe Fiasco. But one star on the week's lineup is being touted as the can't miss act: Kanye West. The polarizing rhymer is set to hit the Vevo PowerStation, Saturday March 19. This won't be the first time West performs there; in 2009, he and his G.O.O.D. Music acts Mr. Hudson and Big Sean rocked the Fader Fort.
Check out the video promo for West's show this Saturday after the jump.
