I just hope for your sake it doesn't become a "power struggle" between the two vets like I had! Each of them thought that THEY knew best! It was a nightmare! |

Feeling good about 2nd opinion We saw a different Vet today.We went through Oliver's entire history. He went through the calendar I made which showed week by week which drugs, tests, and foods he was on. He took the nutriscan test seriously and said he thinks it is a valuable piece of the puzzle and a tool we will use. He looked Oliver over with fresh eyes and noticed he has little red bumps through out his coat and seems to have a rash on his belly. He took hair samples to do a fungal test and he gave us a new antibiotic (Simplecef) to see if the bumps and rash respond to that. He also gave us Hydroxyzine to see if that helps stop the itching. A new shampoo too that will address the fungus element if that is present and part of the problem. He wants Oliver to stay on the food and diet I created based on the nutriscan results. I know this isn't a true food trial, but this Vet agrees because he is a puppy that this is probably the best for now while he is chewing, growing and going to obedience class. Oliver's diet will be restricted to lamb and beef with the limited ingredient dog foods. Best of all, he is going to tag-team this with our regular Vet because I do like him and feel he has a lot of history with us. All in all, I feel better than when I originally posted |

Just keep in mind that an elimination diet is impossible with kibble. There are too many ingredients to be able to isolate the one (or ones) that cause the problem. I would highly suggest an ingredient INCLUSION diet. Start with a single ingredient, give it at least 3-4 weeks and then try adding another ingredient (or switching ingredients if the one you were using didn't make a difference). This type of diet cannot be done using commercial dog food - not canned or dry. There is no single ingredient food out there. You can only accomplish an inclusion diet by either feeding raw or home cooked. |
Oliver'smom |
I send my Vet the link to her website and explain who she was when I ask him if he had heard of the test. There is a special link for Vets, but I don't know that he read it or will go that far. I'm pretty resolved to get a 2nd opinion, stick with my nutriscan food trial, and see if things improve in 6 weeks. |

Sounds like we are using the same nature's variety food. It is tough to find treats. Oliver is in a puppy obedience class and I'm struggling to find something to use. I ended up with Wellness beef jerky treats as they are only beef and chicory (beef was the other ok item on his panel). I also found lamb jerk with no other ingredients, but it is really hard to cut up into training treat size and it gets all crumbly in the treat bag. I might have to just make my own, the trouble is finding the time. I hadn't heard about the calcium issue, I suppose I should ask a Vet or nutritionist about that. Quote:

Thank you Jean! This is an excellent idea! That way Dr. Dodds can send her vet the data sheets that explain what/how she is testing which differs from "allergy testing". |
JeanKBBMMMAAN | Why not have your vet contact Dr. Dodds? | |

Here is my recipe for home made treats that work really well for elimination diets! Homemade Meat Treats Items needed: Non Stick Fry Pan Pam Scissors Choose one of the following meats: Round Steak, Pork Chops, Lamb Slices or Calves Liver 1. Trim off all fat on the edges and/or in-between and if it has a bone in it, remove that too. Take a pair of scissors (outstanding tool for cutting meat) and cut the chosen meat into manageable pieces. If using Liver, blot dry with paper towel for easier handling after it is unfrozen. You can cook this in whole pieces. 2. Choose a fry pan (non stick is the easiest) that will hold the amount of meat you bought, and give the pan a small drop of oil or a quick spray of Pam. 3. Heat the pan until hot and drop the pieces of meat in to the pan to sizzle. Keep your heat rather high but dont leave the pan unattended. 4. Sprinkle on a little garlic powder or garlic salt if desired. 5. Let the meat sizzle for about a minute or two then flip over. Braise the other side (pour off the juice during cooking if there is too much). Remove from pan and place on to paper towel, blot and let cool. Note: Only braise the liver to a medium done range on both sides (dont thoroughly cook it) otherwise it will get crumbly. 6. Take your scissors and cut all of the meat in to strips about ¼ wide. Now take those strips and cut small pieces about the size of a ½ of a dime, (or whatever size you prefer). 7. Place small amounts into seal-able snack baggies, then place those baggies into a seal-able freezer baggie and place in freezer. When you need them, take out one or two baggies, place them in the frig to thaw. Of course the dogs love them frozen too, if you forget! If youd like a more dehydrated type treat: Heat your oven to 200*. Place your dime size, cut pieces on a non stick cookie sheet and place in oven until dried out, about 1 hour. The treats take a little time but saves a lot of $$ and the dogs go crazy for them! BONE APPETITE MY FURRY FRIENDS! |

Oliver's mom I say go with you gut. It can't hurt try an elimination diet. Our girl has rash issues that I believe are food allergies as well. (my vet won't commit to an allergy diagnosis because she is a puppy and keeps telling us it's hormones due to growing ). I was thinking about doing the Nutriscan test but didn't know if it was legit. Thanks for sharing your results. I decided to try an elimination diet and started with a single protein she had never had...lamb. It seems to working. We are currently using Nature's Variety LID lamb. My girl is doing much better since she has been on it. My concern is after I started on it I discovered that is has a calcium content not less than 2 % which I'm told is to high for a GSD puppy. Unfortunately, it may be our only choice as most LID kibbles have this issue we are finding out. Maybe someone on here knows of affordable kibble with limited ingredients and lower calcium? I don't know if you use wet (canned food) or not. Wellness has a wet food meant to be a topper or mix in that is 95% pure meat that comes in lamb and beef. Treats are hard to find with limited ingredients. They are $$$ but Orijen has freeze dried single protein all meat treats. The lamb ones are 100 % pure lamb lung. Our fur baby loves them. Good luck and health to your boy! |

I know that non-compliance does not have the glitter and excitement of a bad ass shoot em out.. or confrontation.. but if the idea catches on.. and replaces all the wasted energy fighting a war that is designed for you to lose.. we have a chance. And anyone.. with or without a gun can participate. Even if we just slow the process down by kicking and dragging our feet when asked to comply, it will cost them time and energy.. a victory in itself.

Singapore is one of the most popular and vibrant destinations in Asia with its renowned clean and beautiful garden city and unique cultural diffusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian and European immigrants. Singapore is a very clean, safe and efficient city due to the strictly enforced laws. But diverse racial groups in Singapore have retained its own cultural and religious identity including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Taoism, which can cause confusion and sometimes conflicts, for example, gift giving etiquette varies depending on the ethnic background of the individual. So bearing in mind the following Singapore travel tips, dos and don'ts will help you enjoy the diverse and rich culture of Singapore and be a part of its enriching experience.
Smoking in public buses, taxis, lifts, theatres, cinemas, government offices and air-conditioned restaurants and shopping centres is against the law. First offenders may be fined up to a maximum of S$1,000. While it is an offence to smoke in air-conditioned eating places, smoking is not prohibited in air-conditioned pubs, discos, karaoke bars and nightspots.

Singapore, being the 6th most expensive country in the world in Mercer's 50 World's Most Expensive Cities index in 2012, is expensive by Asian standards but affordable compared with some industrialized countries: $50 is a perfectly serviceable daily backpacker budget if you are willing to cut some corners, though you would probably wish to double that for comfort.
Food in particular is a steal, with excellent hawker food available for under $5 for a generous serving. Transport is generally inexpensive, ranging from at least $1.40 for a bus or MRT ride or at most $50 for a cab ride from one end of the country to another. Accommodation is a little pricier, but a bed in a dormitory in a hostel can cost less than $20, an average 3-4 star hotel in the city centre would typically cost anywhere from $100-$300 per night for a basic room, and the most luxurious hotels on the island (except the renowned Raffles Hotel) can be yours for $300 with the right discounts during the off-peak season.

Malay may be enshrined in the national Constitution of Singapore as the 'national' language, but in practice the most common language is English, spoken by almost every Singaporean under the age of 50 with varying degrees of fluency. English is spoken much better here than in most Asian countries. English is also the medium of instruction in schools, except for mother tongue subjects (e.g. Malay, Mandarin and Tamil), which are also required to be learned in school by Singaporeans. In addition, all official signs and documents are written in English, usually using British spelling.
However, the distinctive local patois Singlish may be hard to understand at times, as it incorporates slang words and phrases from other languages, including various Chinese dialects, Malay and Tamil as well as English words whose pronunciation or meaning have been corrupted.

Getting around in Singapore is easy: the public transportation system is extremely easy to use and taxis are reasonably priced when you can get one. Very few visitors rent cars. Gothere.sg does a pretty good job of figuring out the fastest route by MRT and bus and even estimating taxi fares between any two points.
Getting around in Singapore by rail
The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and LRT (Light Rail Transit) are trains that are the main trunk of Singapore's transit system. They are a cheap and very reliable mode of transportation, and the network covers most points of interest for the visitor. All train lines use contactless RFID tickets (also known as EZ-Link cards). Single-trip tickets cost from $0.80 to $2 plus a $1 refundable deposit. All lines are seamlessly integrated, even if the lines are operated by different transport companies, so you do not need to buy a new ticket to transfer.

Getting to Singapore by Air
Singapore is one of Southeast Asia's largest aviation hubs, so unless you're coming from Peninsula Malaysia or Batam/Bintan in Indonesia, the easiest way to enter Singapore is by air. In addition to flag-carrier Singapore Airlines and its regional subsidiary Silkair, Singapore is also home to low-cost carriers AirAsia, Tiger Airways, Jetstar Airways and Scoot.
Getting to Singapore by Land
If coming from/going to Peninsula Malaysia, Singapore is connected via two land crossings, one being the Causeway which is a very popular and thus terminally congested entry point connecting Woodlands in the north of Singapore directly into the heart of Johor Bahru. The Causeway can be crossed by bus, train, taxi or car, but it is no longer feasible to cross on foot after Malaysia shifted their customs and immigration complex 2 km inland.

The imposition of entry visas is part of Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoint Authorities' multi-pronged approach in ensuring that Singapore remains a safe and secure place for everyone. However, travel visa permits are not required by the citizens of several countries to visit Singapore as tourists. In this case, documents like passports, onward documents (onward/return tickets, entry permit, etc) to the next destination must be on the travellers. They should also have sufficient funds for their stay. For longer stay, permission of the immigration department is required.
Singapore Visa Regulations: Citizens of the following nations do not need visas:
» United States of America, Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Iceland, Luxemburg, Japan, Republic of Ireland

The thrill to explore a new locale and to acquire a first-hand knowledge of the local culture is what makes travellers pack their bags and leave. Now considered to be a great tourist destination in the world, tourists from all corners of the world come to Singapore for a fun-filled vacation. Attracted by the bullish economy, business travellers from around the globe come to Singapore. The leisure travellers however come here to get a glimpse of the rich local culture and to imbibe the spirit of this city state. Beautiful throughout the year, when to visit Singapore therefore becomes just a matter of availability of time and budget.
When to Travel to Singapore: Seasons & Weather
As Singapore is located a mere 1.5 degrees north of the Equator, the weather is usually sunny with no distinct seasons. Rain falls almost daily throughout the year, usually in sudden, heavy showers that rarely last longer than an hour. However, most rainfall occurs during the northeast monsoon (November to January), occasionally featuring lengthy spells of continuous rain. Temperatures average around 30°C in the daytime and 24°C at night in December and January, and around 32°C and 26°C for the rest of the year.

Located off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, the highly cosmopolitan city of Singapore is regarded as a world-class island country. Bearing a diverse 5 million populace, it is the fourth leading financial center in the world. The government has plans to further expand the population with a target of 6.5 million in the near future, or at least, create an infrastructure with that specific amount in mind.
The metaphor of the "melting pot" is a powerful image in the Singaporean imagination. It is the image of a multicultural, pluralistic Singapore; an integrated and mixed Singapore; a Singapore where different races, cultures, visions, ideas, and identities are not only free to co-exist, but also to mingle and blend, to merge and combine. Some people even proclaim, with glee or with horror, that Singapore will one day consist solely of expatriates and immigrants.
By: Cher Tan
Like any other cosmopolitan city, Singapore is brimming in its own broth of culture. In the last 5 years, art and music have burgeoned like nothing else, and despite – perhaps as a result, in spite – of restrictions in the tiny city-state, there now exists a solid albeit tiny underground independent creative circuit which deserves every mention.
Not immediately obvious to the casual onlooker, the DIY (short for "Do-It-Yourself", which is every bit independent from mainstream corporate culture) music industry is thriving, if you know where to look. Latitudes introduces you to 5 of the most talked-about and talented independent bands and musicians one should be paying attention to right now.

The name "Marina Bay" may be an anomaly of sorts – while it technically describes the body of water around the mouth of the Singapore River and blocked off from the sea by the Marina Barrage, it also encompasses the surrounding "Marina" areas, spanning bits of City Hall and the east of Shenton Way. Being Singapore's newest district, Marina Bay is built on reclaimed land with the intention to combine business and pleasure, with swanky bayfront residences dotting the vicinity.

New London — City police on Wednesday arrested a 43-year-old New London resident on numerous charges for his alleged connection to a four-day crime spree that included armed robberies and commercial burglaries.
Eduardo Torres, of 203 Jefferson Ave., was charged following an investigation into three overnight commercial burglaries, one attempted burglary and two armed robberies in the area of Colman Street and Jefferson Avenue. The crimes all occurred between Oct. 18 and Oct. 21, according to a statement from Deputy Chief Peter Reichard.
Police said evidence collected at the scenes of the crimes led to an arrest warrant for Torres. He was taken into custody without incident and charged with one count of attempted third-degree robbery, three counts of third-degree burglary, sixth-degree larceny, fifth-degree larceny and two counts of first-degree robbery.
Torres was held in lieu of a $250,000 bond pending an appearance in New London Superior Court.
That familiar mid-autumn chill is in the air, so we have to wonder when our first snowfall will be this season.

Classic grape of Chianti and other great Tuscan wine, sangiovese has tart berry-cherry flavors with notes of herbs, spice, and damp earth. Marked more by crisp acidity than big, chewy tannins, sangiovese is nonetheless considered a classically structured grape variety. Found mainly in Chianti, but also the basis for other important Italian wines. Brunello di Montalcino is a specific clone of sangiovese, the variety called Brunello. Successful in Argentina, but California has not yet gotten the knack.
A fluid and supple red, yet offers grainy tannins to support cherry, raspberry and spice flavors. On the slimmer side, yet balanced. Best from 2013 through 2019. 15,000 cases imported.
The 2009 Chianti Classico, 100% Sangiovese, is a gorgeous, deep wine endowed with serious richness. Dark plums, black cherries, licorice, new leather and menthol are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. A firm, structured finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
Brilliant ruby red in color, this wine displays a vibrant nose of cherry, and red berry fruit, interwoven with hints of aromatic herbs, truffles, cardamom, rose petals and new earth. In the mouth, the expression of fruit is an energy-laden progression of red berries, chestnut, and earthy/spicy elements, backed up by rounded tannins, with a perfect pinch of invigorating acidity on the finish. A wine of exceptional elegance and finesse, this wine is a wonderful expression of the world-class terroir of Fattoria dei Barbi. Although completely ready to drink now, it has the potential to improve with short-term cellaring of 12 to 18 months.
The 2009 Chianti Rufina Riserva Nipozzano is very pretty. Veins of minerality support an expressive core of dark red berries in this silky, long Chianti. The 2009 impresses for its persistence and fine overall balance. Ideally, the 2009 is enjoyed while the fruit retains its vibrancy. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.

Prayer & Support
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen+
Connie is in need of our prayers as she is about to have an MRI. We unite in prayer with Connie asking You to come to her assistance and make haste to help her in her time of need. Comfort her and calm her nerves. Allow her to focus of You and draw strength and assurance from Your presence with her through which would otherwise be a most difficult experience.
Oh, Connie...you CAN do this. I like the idea that Mary from Pittsburg suggested, only just wear a satiny beauty sleep mask, instead of squeezing your eyes tightly shut! You can pretend you're going to the Spa, and getting ready for a massage.
Joe was terribly claustrophobic, too, and hated the knocking sound. He did listen to music, and took in the "string" rosary. He found that taking an anti-anxiety medication beforehand made him feel LESS in control of the situation, and thus intensified the anxiety. He took Benedryl instead, because all that did was make him a little sleepy, but not knocked out. He battled tinnitus, too, and had some little hearing aide gizmo that made a "white noise", which helped him at night.
Please, Holy Spirit come and soothe Connie's nerves. Give her peace and calm.
Bring your favorite music or a comforting CD of the rosary. Say the rosary and offer it up.
Another thought. You might consider consulting with an otolaryngologist or neuro-otolgist who specializes in tinnitus.
It will be alright. It may go much easier than you think.
I feel Mary offers an excellent suggestion. In the past when I had anxieties about a procedure, I would think of Our Blessed Mother. I would picture her holding me in her arms and saying everything will be fine........and it was.
Please know you will be in our prayers. Your CM family loves you.

Peak 12,902 – "Demming Mountain"
March 14, 1999 in South
March 14th, 1999, from the Meadow Creek Trailhead
Demming Mountain was my first winter trip to the Gore Range. Normally, the Gores, I'd imagine, are not a very hospitable place in winter. Even in summer, these peaks have poor access and many times have to be climbed in multiple days. Not only that, but these peaks are generally very steep. Demming Mountain is a little different because it's in the southern section of a range. South of Red Buffalo Pass (near Eccles Pass) the peaks are much more gentle. This was still a long hike, about 14 miles, but the elevation gain is fairly steady and the peak is not steep at all. This was another hike with the CMC. I was kind of apprehensive because the description read "fast pace, no turtles please". Well, the slowest member of the team was the leader himself! He said he was in the process of working off his newfound winter weight.
This weekend was absolutely fantastic. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky and it was quite warm with the sun continually blasting down on us. I knew I would have some sunburn when I got home even though I was using 50 block sunscreen. Anyway, we began hiking at the northern end of the I-70 Frisco exit. Normally, you can drive west on a dirt road for a mile or so but this road was covered in snow. Some fella from my home state of Georgia found out the hard way that he shouldn't try driving his Geo through snow.
We began hiking around 7:30am, I think. We hiked down the road with the drone of the highway traffic then started heading north along the Meadow Creek Trail. After a mile or so, there was a marked turnoff to the right that led to Lily Pad Lake. We continued along Meadow Creek Trail for quite a way before getting a fantastic view of Lake Dillon and the surrounding peaks. We continued for another two or three miles in the forest before getting another view. I took this picture of Mount Guyot and Bald Mountain in the distance.
The trail was well-packed and we weren't using our snowshoes. Eventually, the trees started thinning and we arrived at the end of the broken trail. From here on, we made our own trail winding through the trees. We tended to get to far to the right (north) on the slopes of the west ridge of Buffalo Mountain but when it was my turn, I turned us back down to the west and got us into the middle of the basin underneath Demming Mountain. We emerged out of the trees and had a perfect view of Demming Mountain .This view is looking roughly westward. Demming Mountain is the gentle peak on the far right. Our route was to head to Eccles Pass then head westward then southward over the ridge until we hit the summit.
As we swung northward into the basin, Eccles Pass came into view . From Eccles Pass, we had great views of the southern tip of the rugged Gore Peaks. Red Peak was directly in front of us and Buffalo Mountain lay eastward connected to the pass by a ridge. I was hoping to see "East Thorn" or at least the very tip of it but you cannot from here. I think you can see "Willow" from here but it's hard to really tell. "Willow" (aka "Mount Silverthorne") is the highpoint of the western ridge from "East Thorn". At the pass, we took our first substantial break and ate. I finished up my ham sandwich pretty fast and took a panoramic view of the view northward from the pass. After the break, we headed westward up the ridge.
We were a little nervous about one section of the ridge. Right in the middle was a rock outcropping. It wasn't steep but it was heavily mixed with snow. So that meant scrambling over it without our snowshoes on. I was all for this but another member wanted to bypass the rock and traverse underneath it on some very steep snow. It looked too steep for most of us though. We ended up taking this route and it turned out to be a good choice. This picture (left) shows us rounding the rock outcropping. From here, we swung near the top of the ridge and started heading south. From here, it was a simple but tiring slog to the summit.
Four of us arrived on the summit at first. The top was rather windy so I had to put on my jacket to break the wind. I spent most of my time taking pictures.
Here's a picture of me on the top of Demming Mountain with the bulk of the Gore Range behind me. Beyond Red Buffalo Pass and northwestwardly, as seen in this picture, the terrain becomes very rugged and dramatic.
The summiters and the people who held back rendezvoused back at the saddle north of the mountain. From here we took the express route straight down the mountain. I had to take off my snowshoes because my ankles were really getting strained by the steep angle. Everyone else kept there snowshoes on. From the base of the mountain, we began our long slog back to the cars. It was very pleasant hiking back although I was quite tired. We enjoyed awesome views of the TenMile Range as we hiked out. Near the trailhead, I took this nice picture of Peak One.

Air Quality And Your Heart Health
Air Quality And Your Heart Health
Those of you who have been with me for a while know how concerned I am about environmental pollution and the negative affect it can have on your heart. Now a new study published in the British Medical Journal once again reinforces just how dangerous pollution is. What they found is that high pollution exposure significantly increases your risk of having a heart attack for six hours.
The Pollution/Heart Attack Link
This large-scale study, which was conducted by researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, followed 79,288 people in the United Kingdom who had a heart attack between 2003 and 2006. They measured the traffic pollution in the areas where each participant lived—including ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and more. What they found is that significant pollution exposure upped the risk of a heart attack for six hours.
This isn't surprising since breathing polluted air impacts your cardiovascular system. After all, it's through your lungs that your heart receives its life-sustaining oxygen. Air pollutants that you breathe can become lodged in your lungs, leaving them prone to infection and distress. Also, impaired lungs put undue stress on your cardiovascular system. In fact, air pollution is so dangerous that it can negatively impact even those of us without heart or lung vulnerabilities.
This isn't the first study linking airborne pollutants and heart disease:
- Results from studies funded by the National Institute of Health's Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) have demonstrated a strong relationship between levels of airborne particles and risk of early death from heart disease.
- In a long-term Harvard University study on residents of six U.S. cities to assess the effects of common air pollutants on respiratory and cardiovascular health, results showed that subjects living in the more polluted cities had a higher risk of hospitalization and early death from pulmonary and heart diseases as compared to those living in the less polluted cities. The relationship between air pollution and mortality was much stronger for the fine particle component pollutants.
- In a follow-up study sponsored by the NIEHS and the American Cancer Society, researchers measured the cardiovascular effects of fine particle air pollution in a sample of more than 500,000 people in 50 different cities. Once again, there was a strong association between high concentrations of fine particle pollution and increased mortality from cardiopulmonary illness.
- Also, very fine particle air pollution can aggravate the sympathetic nervous system. This, in turn, can supress heart rate variability which is a significant cardiac marker of health.
Personal Pollution Protection
Fortunately, there are a lot of things you can do to limit your exposure to pollution:
1. On hot humid days, try to stay indoors, close the windows, and use a fan or an air conditioner. If you have an air conditioner, remember to clean or replace your filter at least every six months since faulty, contaminated air conditioning filters can cause respiratory illnesses.
2. On "clean air days," when pollen counts are low and the air is clean (relatively speaking, of course), open your windows and doors to air out dust, molds and other chemicals that have accumulated over the winter months.
3. Invest in an air filter. Not only will it clear the air of thick, dense particles, it will filter out low-micron particles, dust mites, molds, pollens, allergens and animal dander. A good system, such as the HEPA (be sure to get a true HEPA, not a system advertised as "HEPA-like"), should filter at least 99.9% of dust particles as small as .3 microns from the air.
4. Cleanse your system from the inside with vitamin E (100 to 200 IU for women, and up to 400 IU for men) which protects the lungs from excessive auto emissions and ozone, vitamin C (300 to 500 mg) which is a powerful antioxidant, beta carotene (7,500 to 10,000 IU) which protects the lungs, quercetin (100 mg) to combat environmental allergens, and CoQ10 (100 to 200 mg) to stabilize membranes and round up harmful free radicals.
5. Practice Earthing, either by going barefoot outside or sitting or lying on a special conductive device, such as pads for the floor or bed. Connecting to the Earth like this helps to support heart rate variability.

Making Plans for Summer Dining
Generally, greater Portland is my stomping grounds for dining out because it's where I live, and I'm continually intrigued by the region's wealth of culinary richness.
This is not to say that I never cross the Cumberland County line. And often places that deserve a write up don't always get in print, and now that the weather is warming up, it may be time for a second look at some of my favorite places worth the trip.
Last fall I went to the Slipway, which is perched overlooking the Saint George River in Thomaston. It was the last day before closing for the season and I had a great lunch on a perfect October afternoon under a 70-degree sun. I could hardly write about a place after only one meal and it subsequently closed for the next seven months.
However, chef and proprietor of Slipway, Scott Yakovenko, established a loyal following when he ran the venerable Dip Net in Port Clyde, before it was purchased by Maine's newly minted lobster maven, Linda Bean, of the L.L.Bean dynasty and proprietress of such disparate outposts as the U.S. Virgin Islands, Freeport, Maine, and the Portland Jetport. I've been to Freeport 's Perfect Maine Lobster and Topside Tavern and was so underwhelmed that I decided not to write about the Shrimp Wiggle that I ordered for lunch.
While the pace of new restaurant openings in Portland has slowed down this year (some new ones are in the works, though), other places are abuzz with new eateries. The midcoast towns of Camden and Rockport, for example, used to be ghost towns after Labor Day but are now year-round hubs for the hale, hearty and hungry. I look forward to experiencing Long Grain, 40 Paper and 57 Bayview in Camden, the town's newest hotspots. And I must admit that I've yet to visit the much ballyhooed Shepherd's Pie in Rockport and Natalie's at the Camden Harbor Hotel, both of which have locals raving.
The magic of Maine's islands are another lure as I get ready for the summer. They're not necessarily known for their restaurants — if they even have any — beyond local dockside joints. But a few have made it on the gastronomic map. Islesford Dock on Little Cranberry, Chebeague Island Inn on Chebeague, and Nebo Lodge on North Haven, are worth the voyage. Getting to these islands, however, gives me pause due to my shaky sea legs fear of the water.
Still, I manage to hit the high seas occasionally. While on North Haven for a few weeks last summer, a friend suggested we sail to Castine for lunch on his very seaworthy motor boat. Castine is not a foodie town per se but it's certainly a pretty spot. After two hours at sea through swells, lurking ledges, and other imagined hazards we arrived — safely enough. For others it might have been a dazzling trip. For me it was white knuckles all the way. I don't remember where we ate because I was too preoccupied thinking about the imagined peril of the return trip.
Still some of Maine's most intriguing restaurant are on the water's edge or out to sea. I'm sorry to have missed going to the Keeper's House on Isle au Haut for its fine Island fare. Alas it's now closed because the inn is for sale.
But other places beckon, which I'm anxious to get to. So if you spot someone cowering in a corner of a state-run ferry or private launch, it could be me trying to endure an otherwise harmless sail for a good meal at the water's edge.
Note: Some of the places pictured in the slideshow but not mentioned here include Bay Haven in Cornish, the Ramp Bar and Grill in Cape Porpoise and the Thomaston Cafe in Thomaston.

"Brittney Armstrong has awesome defense and always seems to grab the ball when the other team is making a run for it," said Solon Springs coach Kate Klinzing. "Valerie Garay is an all-around player that can play any position. These two work great together and are friends until the very end."
The Eagles (6-14, 5-11) trailed 11-7 after one quarter and 27-22 at halftime. Bayfield maintained a five-point lead through three quarters, but Solon Springs closed the gap in the last eight minutes by outscoring Bayfield 18-15.
"It was a tough one," Klinzing said. "We had two seniors who wanted to end their last home game with a big win.
"Even though we came two points short, in my opinion, we won that game. The Eagles played like a team and kept the ball going until the final buzzer."
Tylor Kruse led the Eagles with 15 points. Shayla Bornholdt finished with 13 points, and Alicia Jensen added 12.
"This game showed how hard the post players work and how big of a threat they can be when they want to be one," Klinzing said. "I couldn't be happier than seeing the 'Ea-Gals' take the game to heart and want it so bad; you can't take that away from them."
Victoria Gokee-Rindal led Bayfield with 14 points, which included an 8-of-12 performance at the free-throw line.
Bayfield 11 16 12 15 — 54
Solon Springs 7 15 12 18 — 52
Bayfield — Victoria Gokee-Rindal 14, August Gordon 12, Madeline LaPointe 8, Aubury Defoe 7, Karen Thomas 6, Shania Leask 3, Kennedy Defoe 2. 3-point goals — Gokee-Rindal 2, Defoe 2.
Solon Springs — Tylor Kruse 15, Shayla Bornholdt 13, Alicia Jensen 12, Rachel Grubbe 5, Brianna Larson 4, Valerie Garay 2, Alison Smith 1.
3-point goals — None.

A little over a week ago I teased you with this…in all fairness I was teasing myself as well, what with buying a new book in the middle of finals week and all.
So nearly the second I was free from studying's deathly grip I hopped under the covers, flicked on my reading light and began.
The back cover describes it as, "Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever."
Seeing as how the next time I looked up 135 pages had flown by…the advertisers aren't far off. Gripping is perhaps an understatement. In the same way that the two characters, Christian and Ana, are drawn to each other, your eyes are glued to the page.
It's partly out of shock, because the other bit…you know, the one about it being erotic, is a ridiculously dramatic understatement. If that sort of thing makes you uncomfortable, turn and quite literally run from the table at Barnes & Nobles piled high with the series. This book is not the book for you (not really mine either).
I'd be lying if I said the idea of someone reading over my shoulder didn't make me nervous because it did. It's incredibly explicit, but as the story deepens, the nature of their physical relationship becomes so obviously integral to understanding the complexity (another understatement) of their emotional one. It becomes more about the politics of sex rather than sheer carnality.
Note: that does not mean I liked this book.
Christian Grey fascinated me. I'm notorious for brain-picking and he would usually be a perfect enigma to draw me in (if the writing was good…but…it isn't). He's irrationally complex. He's intelligent, controlling, beautifully damaged, intimidating, and largely incomprehensible. Side bonus…he's incredibly good-looking (don't pretend like this doesn't matter). His ornate complexity somehow manifests into very singular erotic tastes, figuring out why and how becomes an honest mission of Ana and the reader.
I really don't want to give too much away, given how popular the book is I have to assume other people have/are/plan to read it.
In some ways you really have to pick your poison…if you admit you like it people scream, you don't know good writing! But claim you hate it and suddenly you're an elitist snob. Fact is, both are kind of true. It's not "good" writing and I want to rip the thesaurus out of E L Jame's hands. But its intense, entertaining?, and a decent way to pass time if you've got it.
Any other readers? What do you think? Worth reading the next two?

Oswald Herzog, in an article on "Der Abstrakte Expressionismus" (Sturm, heft 50, 1919) gives us a statement which with equal felicity may be applied to the artistic attitude of the Dadaists. "Abstract Expressionism is perfect Expressionism," he writes. "It is pure creation. It casts spiritual processes into a corporeal mould. It does not borrow objects from the real world; it creates its own objects .... The abstract reveals the will of the artist; it becomes expression. ..." [William A. Drake, "The Life and Deeds of Dada," 1922]
Academe properly means Academus (a Greek hero); & its use as a poetic variant for academy, though sanctioned by Shakespeare, Tennyson & Lowell, is a mistake; the grove of A., however, (Milton) means rightly The Academy. [Fowler]
The A[cademy], the Garden, the Lyceum, the Porch, the Tub, are names used for the five chief schools of Greek philosophy, their founders, adherents, & doctrines: the A., Plato, the Platonists & Platonism; the Garden, Epicurus, the Epicureans, & Epicureanism; the Lyceum, Aristotle, the Aristotelians, & Aristotelianism; the Porch, Zeno, the Stoics, & Stoicism; the Tub, Antisthenes, the Cynics, & Cynicism.

Palm Court at The Scottsdale Resort
Online Reservations
Wonderful brunch venue; elegantly polished without being stuffy. Staff was excellent, from the valet parking to the attentive, yet unobtrusive waiter. The food is excellent and varied with hot and cold stations, items cooked to order and a never empty champagne glass. Highly recommend. A little pricey, but worth it.
Went for Easter brunch. After a little chaos getting seated, all was good. Food was delicious, especially considering the size of the crowd they had. Service at the table was excellent. The only downside on the food was the deserts, most of which which were ok not great but again, a grand scale of people.
Always Fabulous! Especially if you want a nice quiet evening!
Wonderful - Classic dining - Last of the tableside preparation restaurants
Great food and service with a traditional menu that was easy to understand and know what you are ordering. We especially liked the table side preparation of the salads and the Holland Dover sole. The wine was also reasonably priced.
The Palm Court continues to be a hidden gem for those who love old fashion fine dining. Still the best place for a quiet, romantic special occasion. Do not miss the lobster bisque!
If you didn't take her here for Mother's Day this year, make sure to do it next year! My family brought me here for the best brunch ever. It was a perfect day and perfect experience! Good food, live music, beautiful surroundings, and top notch service with friendly faces. I hope they take me there again!
The Palm Court is a hidden gem. There is nothing not to like.
I have 10 friends who come visit each October and their overwhelming choice for dining year after year is The Palm Court. The food is always delicious and prepared properly, the service is the best in the city and the location and view from the restaurant makes for a unhurried relaxing night. I would suggest The Palm Court to anyone and not be worried if they would like it. I know they would. I dine there 4-5 times a year and have for the past 12 years, it never disappoints.
Outstanding service, staff very accommodating and ok with special requests and made recommendations. Everything cooked as requested.
Service is always terrific. Everyone is so attentive. The food tastes great and there's something for everyone even kids. Come hungry because everything looks delicious. You'll want to try a little bit of everything. We came to celebrate our daughter's birthday and she loved it. She was thrilled when our server came out with a cake and candle for her. She didn't know she would get a mini cake also.
We have been coming to Palm Court for over 20 years....it is our very favorite restaurant. Brunch is the best anywhere...dinner is outstanding with tableside cooking.I have food allergies and so it is great to see exactly what goes into everything...We usually get a commentary about what is being prepared...the staff is the best...etc; so personable...and nice. I would recommend to anypne going there for the first time...be sure to get their lobster bisque...garlic mashed potatoes...bananas foster...dover sole, and shrimp cocktail (the biggest and best ever) and caesar salad.
This was our second visit to Palm Court. The ambience is special from the valet parking through the reception area and into the restaurant on the 3rd floor. The wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the restaurant, the food and the wine. The food did not disappoint neither the escargot, the veal nor the halibut. A gratuitous cake for two with candle was offered to top off our anniversary meal. We plan to return.
We have driven by this place for years and only now have dined there. It won't be our last. Excellent food, service and atmosphere.
Visiting this facility was a very pleasant experience. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The scenery was breathtaking. The food was excellent and large portions. The buffet was lovely - a selection of different items to choose from salads, entrees and a variety of desserts. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting this lovely area and for the local residents.
You may find fancier surroundings but not better food. Incredible selection.
Spent a summer weekend at the Scottsdale Resort. Went for early breakfast on Sunday. They had a very nice breakfast buffet set up, while they were setting up the brunch. Had all the standard breakfast items, scrambled eggs, sausage/bacon, waffles, several dry cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, and very nice fruit platter. everything looked great. The prepared items were done perfectly. The brunch starts at 11:00. Its huge. We did not partake in it, but it looked fantastic. Will have to go back and give it a try some day.
I've experienced exactly one Phoenix restaurant that knows how to make a person feel special, Palm Court at the Scottsdale Resort. The old school elegance of both the Scottsdale Resort and the restaurant make them especially appealing.This is not a wannabe. I wish they'd list menu prices on the internet; they're not that expensive. I used a restaurant.com $25 certificate and we paid $100 including tip. My husband had a glass of wine, caesar salad and center cut prime sirloin. I had Washington state apple salad and salmon with risotto. They surprised me with a huge slab of free birthday cake, the flavor of which reminded me of an upscale jelly roll. The service is truly impeccable. There's no faking this level of attentiveness.
Sunday brunch at Palm Court turns any occasion into a very special occasion. The food, the staff and the surroundings make Palm Court the place to celebrate with your loved ones or just your friends by turning a regular day into a special event. No matter what preferences your party has, the food at the Court will satisfy all tastes. From simple to sophisticated, Palm Court is the place to start the week on the best note. Everyone will be pleased and surprised at the choice, the variation of taste and the attention to every detail given to the brunch by the staff. The Palm Court brunch should be tried by everyone at least once!
This is such a great place for a special occasion or a place to just to have a romantic wonderful dinner. Mr. Ahdy, the Maître d' is just splendid with ensuring a perfect evening. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and decided on the chefs 5 course dinner with wine parings. Every couse was done to perfection and with detailed attention. The grand finally was a mini cake to take home as a departing gift. We will be returning soon!!!
This is one of my favourite restaurants anywhere. It has wonderful ambience, phenomenal staff and the chef(s) are incredible. Highly recommend this restaurant and the hotel.
The staff were so attentive and caring, my wife was so touched by the extra miles they went to make our night special. We've stayed at many resorts and eaten at some of the finest restaurant and you guys just topped our destination list, we will most definitely come back and tell everyone we know of our great experience there. It was so we tipped at 45% Dave Brown 6024710801
This restaurant is one of the best in the valley. It should be right up there with the top 10. They do more "table side" cooking than any place I have been, the spinach salad is my favorite salad. Great lobster bisque soup and I've had several of the main courses and they are all amazing.
My wife and I went for an anniversary dinner and were blown away by the food and wine selections, the quality of the meal (one of the best we've had in the Phoenix area), and the overall ambiance. So many little details that were not overlooked or overdone, made the experience one to remember. The table-side services were quite impressive!
We went to the Palm Court at the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center for my partner's birthday. It was an excellent weekend away and a really wonderful dinner. The chilled jumbo gulf prawns were perfectly cooked, and my partner had the lobster bisque which he found outstanding, and I had the cesar salad which was prepared for me tableside. The cesar, for me, was the best part of the evening. It was fresh and made to my preference and the waiter really knew what he was doing. I loved it. We both had the lobster tail, which was more than just the tail, with at least one claw on each plate, and while it was a bit over cooked, it was still very good. The evening ended with a small birthday cake and it was an excellent evening.
Outstanding as usual. Impeccable service and fabulous food. Great ambiance and you can have a conversation at your table. Our favorite special occasion restaurant.
For a resort restaurant, we were so pleased with the excellent food and sterling service at this fantastic find! Would highly recommend!
Loved the surroundings; great food and very attentive wait staff.
The food was fresh and the presentation was perfect. Great place for a special occasion. You will not be disappointed.
We have eaten at Palm Court for 20 years...and it still remains my favorite restaurant in all of Scottsdale. We go there for lunch, brunch and dinner. The food is really quality...and tableside cooking is a joy. ( have food allergies so...I can watch the preparation...and ask to omit anything I don't want to eat. Everyone who works there is so pleasant...and helpful...and...I love the ambiance...
Great Service, Excellent Food. Great Atmosphere. It was my husbands birthday and they served him a great little cake. All in all very enjoyable.
It is always a pleasure and a treat to dine at Palm Court. Excellent for special occasions and romantic dinners. Just as good with a group.
My wife and I went for dinner and had a great time. The tableside service, prep, and finish of many of the dishes had a very continental feel to the smallish room, which even the best restaurants have gotten away from any more. I had a whole Dover sole which was finished at the table and my wife had Portobello mushroom ravioli, which were excellent. For dessert we shared the warm apple cobbler ala mode.
We always do brunch here when we're in town for our annual trip. It's one of the great ones anywhere.
What a superb dining experience. We willreturn there again tonight. The food was terrific and the little set of chocolatesd we were rewarded with at the end of the finner was a welcome treat.
We were hosts to another couple who had never been to Palm Court. They loved it. The woman said she had never had better scallops. Everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere was perfect
Got to taste and enjoy delicious food. Staff was friendly and available will be back.
The service is amazing and the food exquisite. The staff is very friendly. From the tableside food prep to the acoustic guitar player on the stairs, by far my favorite dining experience in the valley. I have been and will continue to eat here for years.
We'd never been to the Scottsdale Resort - didn't even know a resort existed on McCormick Pkwy. It was a nice little gem hidden away. They were decorated for the holidays - lights on all the trees - making it a magical experience. The Palm Court was upstairs which is unusual in a resort but it allowed nice views of the golf course. It was a buffet and done nicely. They had shrimp, salmon, ham, turkey, and roast beef as the main course items and all were nicely done. The wait staff was a little overwhelmed though - you could see and feel their frustration at having a revolving door of diners. They are probably used to a less hectic day. But, they pulled through and did their jobs. We would eat here again.
My family has had many special occasions at the Palm Court Restaurant over the last 10 years. We have had many birthday parties and anniversaries in the private dining area as well as reversal dinners for weddings in the other large dining area. Every time we have been there, we have had exceptional service and the food has been outstanding! We have gotten to know many of the wonderful staff and they have served us so beautifully. We always thing of the Palm Court when celebrating a special occasion. You would not be disappointed!!!!
Don't often give reviews, but our Thanksgiving Brunch deserved my writing one; very fresh, very plentiful array of food; my guests were pleased; all felt it was a memorable dining experience.
Palm Court has always been a favorite of ours .. for that special Anniversary dinner. The food is absolutely high quality and prepared masterfully. Impeccible service and ambiance. We highly recommend Palm Court to anyone who longs for the "old fashioned" type of dining where time seems to stand still.
We love going to the Palm Court because of the great Sunday Buffet. The greeters are friendly. The service is wonderful and most of all the food is to die for. Appetizer table is worth it all by itself but then you have the main course and dessert which is so yummy.
My wife and I had dinner at the Palm Court on a Saturday evening. We had a late reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. Initially no one approached us but within 7 or 8 minutes, the service was outstanding. Wait staff and service staff was very attentive and helpful with menu recommendations. The food was very good although my wife's halibut was "fishy". Wine selection more than met our needs. The guitarist playing provided great background music. Overall an excellent evening.

Hello all (sorry for my english, I'm french) I don't understand this test (about Crysis) : http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_680_SLI/9.html Look the resolution 1680x1050 = Only 61,9 FPS !!! And remember the test with the SLI GTX 480 = 66,2 FPS (it was better !) http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_480_SLI/7.html Can you explain me please why the SLI 480 is better than the SLI 680 (crysis) ? I don't understand. Thanck you.
It's Crysis 1. I would hope Nvidia optimizes some newer games before bothering with it. Over 60 fps seems fine to me anyways.
If we change the Processor, look the results : - 61,9 FPS (Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz) - 81,7 FPS (Intel Core i7-3770K @ 4.7 GHz) So, excuse-me to ask you again the question, but is it only a question of drivers ? (because I'm still undecided to buy SLI 680, and my processor is only a i7-930 overclocked to 4Ghz)
Because at that resolution, your CPU limited with a GTX 680. Push the resolution up and you see that GTX 680 SLI scales 60%. You also see that a single GTX 680 is about as fast as two GTX 480s.
Yes, i'm sure. But the problem is that with the same Processor (i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz), with the same resolution (1680x1050), SLI 480 is faster than SLI 680, as the test showed it. I dont know what to do, do I have to wait drivers ?, is it a bug ?
First - Don't bother wasting cash on a 680 sli set up if you're gaming on a 1680 x 1050 screen. Second - Don't bother getting 680 sli period - get 670 sli instead - far better value and equal performance. Third - Kepler is a slouch in certain titles compared to it's performance elsewhere. Some games will just run worse. Fourth - Wait until the AMD 7970 GHz editions are released. There's a chance it might prompt Nvidia to lower 680 prices if AMD keep their own prices lower than the 680.
My question would be why are you running SLI at a resolution lower than 1920x1080? That's going to hammer your CPU more than anything else since SLI is really going to shine at higher resolutions on newer games that are more graphically intensive. I bet you that if the CPU is the limiting factor that running the game at a higher resolution will result in the same performance as long as the CPU remains the bottleneck.
Id say the 480s with their oldish drivers were more optimized for crysis than the 680s with their current drivers. It comes as no surprise when the new video cards with recent drivers are for the games of today. As i believe, crysis (still a sick game!) is coming to 5 years old now.
Outback Bronze, I love kangoro too ! In fact, when I see these test, I think that the processor plays a very important role (despite drivers). I have only a i7-930 4 Ghz (overclocked) and maybe it is not enough powerful to have 80 PFS like with the i7-3770K @ 4.7 GHz.
Thank you erocker for your answer. As you say "That is correct", but not perfect ! So I guess i will never have 80 PFS (for crysis). Maybe I have to change my Processor and find one which can be oveclocked very well.
Ivy Bridge, or even Sandy Bridge will definitely give you a nice boost in FPS for most games. Best of luck to you.
If you're willing to drop the cash on two 680s, why not just build a new PC and sell the parts of your current PC? I can almost guarantee that at your resolution, ANY high-end graphics card you buy will be bottlenecked by your CPU. You could really use a better CPU and higher resolution monitor if you want to see those graphics cards perform the way they're meant to.
You're certainly right Random Murderer. So, I have to sell my Asus Rampage Extreme III ? And sell my little i7-930 ? In fact, build a new PC ... as you say The problem is that my "old" PC was built in 2010, and I didn't use it a lot... I waste my money for nothing !
Its not the same processor and the Sandy Bridge is clocked faster (4.7Ghz). Like I said, at that resolution the game is CPU limited which is why there is little to no scaling with GTX 680 SLI. I wouldn't recommend SLI or Crossfire at that resolution anyway.
That too, lol. No, you don't have to sell your PC off or build a new PC, those are merely options. Honestly, if you're getting good framerates(above 40fps imo, others say 30), then your CPU is doing great on such a poorly coded engine. The i7 930 is still a great CPU, not to mention the board you have it in. If you could tell us your graphics cards and/or list them in your system specs we'll be able to see what you're looking to upgrade from. That's also something to consider. If you get a higher resolution monitor, your load will be more on the graphics card(s). Depending on the graphics cards you're using now, you may see very little performance difference by going to a higher resolution(in most games, dunno about Crysis... it's picky).
I would say, if you are like me with new builds (every 3-4 years), go with SandyBridge-E... More expensive, yes, but you will have a 6-core CPU that clocks higher than an IVB 4-Core for the same amount of heat... Not to mention IVB-E is still on the horizon. Those are some of the factors that made me go with a 3930K instead of a 3770K, and I don't regret it at all. Just got to get my xspc EX420 rad, a few fans, and a 670 and I will be up and running like mad
Its drivers for sure, even i get better FPS then that with a stock clocked everything (AMD Phenom II 965 and Quadfire 4870X2's) 61FPS average and 90FPS max at a resolution of 1600*1200.
Why would he need to invest in a 6-core chip? Half of the price he could get the 3820 instead and it is perfectly adequate and performance somewhere between the 2700k and 3770k. The features SB-E brings to the table alone makes X79 worth it IMHO. IVB is still a mainstream platform and should be treated as such since it has practically no upgrade paths past the 3770k. Also the 6-core makes a lot more heat and does not clock as high. The 3820 however does fly, regardless that it is a "locked" CPU. Just keep in mind that going from 100mhz bclk to 125bclk is an instant 4.5ghz overclock and you haven't even touched the turbo bins yet and honestly, unless you're using LN2 or phase change I doubt you're going to run into limitations overclocking this chip because of the multiplier. Just get some good memory that lets you play around with the BCLK. I've done 135mhz bclk without an issue and I've seen Dumo push it up to 166mhz.
Also a great point and the main reason I went with a 3820. I've never been a fan of the k-branded chips, to me they make overclocking too easy and a lot less fun. As far as the straps go, almost all of the 3820s can run 125 fine, a smaller percentage 166. Even if you're limited to 125, you can push the BCLK to about 136, combine that with the max turbo bin of 43 and you're looking at 5.8GHz. Back on topic, we still don't know what graphics card(s) he's running. He may not even need an upgrade.
First, Thank you all for your advises Random Murderer said : "If you could tell us your graphics cards and/or list them in your system specs we'll be able to see what you're looking to upgrade from" 'course : Asus Rampage Extreme III - i7 930 overclocked at 4Ghz (I've just tried 4,4Ghz yesterday and for the moment its stable) - Corsair TX 950 watt - 6 giga RAM Resolution : 1600x900 Windows 7 - 64 bits Pro I have expensive tastes : I hate when FPS <60 FPS I would like to have a super framerate in Crysis, a super average. And I 'm wondering if I should'nt have to buy only 2 GTX 580 ... (apparently better thant SLI 670 with a little processor like mine), or 3 GTX 570...

Higher education reform is urgent
There are many paths to reform, but the path must be taken. Our higher education system is in need of more than just cosmetic reforms.
The Rio Grande Foundation has spent a lot of time recently discussing reform and transparency in New Mexico's higher education system.
According to a recent audit, problems include nepotism, millions of dollars of unbudgeted spending, lack of control of cash deposits, untracked student loans, and material weaknesses and substantial deficiencies in internal financial records.
The Martinez Administration assigns blame to the prior administration, but higher education is a sprawling bureaucracy that spends nearly $3 billion annually. Even the most sincere efforts to reform the system face intractable challenges.
In FY08, about $17.39 per $1,000 of personal income was dedicated to higher education in New Mexico, while the national average was about $7.00. Our state is second highest in terms of state and local support per $1,000 of personal income.
What are taxpayers getting for their money?
What are the taxpayers of New Mexico getting for their money? Not much, according to CollegeMeasures.org. According to the site, the state's institutions underperform relative to other states.
New Mexico is ranked 46th when it comes to student graduation rates, and its first-year retention rate is the worst in the nation. This points to issues both in student preparedness and whether we as taxpayers are spending too much on higher education relative to other priorities (possibly including improvements to our K-12 system that result in better-prepared students).
At this point, it is worth questioning the premises of massive state subsidies for higher education. The justification is usually that it is worth it for taxpayers at large to use government to promote education for the future leaders of our society and to promote the existence of an informed populace in general.
These sound great, but the primary beneficiaries of higher education are the students and families of those who actually obtain the degree. Currently, about 25 percent of New Mexicans have such degrees. While not universally true, it is generally accurate to note that these are the highest-earners in our society and come from families of higher-than-average wealth.
Unfair to lower-income taxpayers
This is by no means a knock against higher education, its benefits, or those who spend the time to attain it. We at the Rio Grande Foundation want New Mexicans to work hard and earn high salaries. The problem, of course, is that it is unfair for taxpayers of lower incomes to be subsidizing the educations of wealthier citizens. More importantly, at least in the area of cost-containment, asking students, not taxpayers, to pay a greater percentage of the bill for higher education could restrain the out-of-control cost of a diploma.
According to a report in Forbes, over the past quarter-century, the cost of higher education has grown 440 percent. That is nearly four times the rate of inflation and double the rate of health care cost increases.
Obviously, the rapid increase in the cost of higher education is unsustainable. The dustup over rapidly-growing student debt is one manifestation of the problem of out-of-control inflation in higher education. Once that financing tool plays itself out (and every indicator is that parents and students are no longer willing to pile up mounds of debt for school), the schools and state governments will have to do something to restrain spending.
The path must be taken
What specifically might be done to constrain costs in New Mexico higher education is an in-depth topic needing its own discussion, but there can be no doubt that room for improvement is both available and, as the audit discussed at the outset illustrates, essential.
Technology must be leveraged in ways that increase student access at lower costs. This could have the salutary effect in New Mexico of reducing the proliferation of branch campuses. Alternatively, subsidies might be targeted at students themselves as opposed to the institutes themselves or targeted at those areas in science, technology, engineering and math that are in greatest demand in today's economy, but where talent is in short supply.
There are many paths to reform, but the path must be taken. Our higher education system is in need of more than just cosmetic reforms.
Paul J. Gessing is the president of New Mexico's Rio Grande Foundation, an independent, nonpartisan, tax-exempt research and educational organization dedicated to promoting prosperity for New Mexico based on principles of limited government, economic freedom and individual responsibility.
