About Us

Listen to a new podcast interview.

I am Pam Sorooshian – mom to three wonderful daughters, Roya (30), Roxana (28), and Rosie (24), and wife to my fantastic husband, Cyrus, and grandmother to (of course) the most perfect little guy in the world – Wyatt.

I’m an unschooling advocate and college economics teacher. I listen to a lot of audible books, drink a lot of (decaf) coffee, and love to play games.

We love living in Southern California – between the ocean and the mountains and the desert.

I run the Unschooling California Facebook Group. I also participate actively in the Unschooling Mom2Mom Facebook Group and the Radical Unschooling Info Facebook Group.

I’ve spoken about unschooling at conferences in South Carolina, North Carolina, Missouri, New Mexico, Washington, Arizona, Massachusetts, and all over California.

I’m Roxana Sorooshian, the middle daughter (28 and still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up). I’m the one doing most of the layout and editing side of this site. I have Bachelor’s degrees in history and drama and a Master’s degree in Drama, I enjoy watching/performing in/directing/thinking about musical theatre, rereading Austen and Nabokov and Eliot, over-analyzing fantasy novels & TV sitcoms, tap dancing, wearing vintage hats, thinking about what life was like for British naval officers during the Napoleonic Wars, and reading – but rarely cooking from – vegan recipes. I also like making blogs which is why I have too many, but my main one is Upstaged (a theatre news, review, & humor site).

Rose Harrington-Sorooshian (24) is the youngest. She teaches adults with disabilities, and also runs a small business teaching American Sign Language to kids of all ages. She has a degree in Deaf Studies and a black belt in Kyin Kung Fu, and is a frequent speaker or panelist at homeschooling conferences. She’s also into feminism, television, and National Novel Writing Month. Like Roxana, she has way too many blogs. It’s a family failing.

Roya Dedeaux (30) is the oldest daughter and no longer a Sorooshian, which really does make comprehensive group nouns a problem. Roya got her B.A. in Recreation and Leisure Studies and Master’s degree in Counseling, and is now a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. She specializes in therapy for homeschoolers and in art-based therapy practices. And she is totally available as a therapist in person or online, or to do homeschooling coaching. Additionally, Roya lives with her husband the park ranger and their adored+adorable toddler son in a former nature center, where she knits & crochets obsessively while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    Hi Pam,

    I’m on Always Learning and a daily reader. I have been snipping out so many quotes from you lately for later reading, you’re always such a great writer but you seem to have been especially inspired in the last couple of days🙂. I’m very excited you have a blog!

    You asked for topic ideas? I have lots but the one i would really love is a piece written about what to say to grandparents (or other close family).
    What is unschooling? and what can grandparents do? I want to say – Just play with your grandkids, just be with them and have fun. Is there more to it than that? They want to be involved and are loving people who my kids adore. They are going to be interested in our approach and i am wondering how best to sum it up to them and give them some ideas on how to contribute to our lifestyle (which they will want to). They were very supportive when i said we are going to homeschool. I think family support is such a plus, it would be nice to give them some ideas on what would be really helpful.
    I wrote a similar piece on attachment parenting several years ago. I included ideas for helpful things they could give if they wanted to give a gift (new baby stuff), what support would be the most helpful, what sort of philosophy their adult children were embracing etc.

    I think there are many people out there looking for things to give to close family to help them understand. As parents we are willing to put in countless hours researching and developing our knowledge in these areas so can read alot of information happily, but other family members may not have the same investment. What can we give them to read to help us explain to them? Guess thats what im thinking of

    Does this inspire?

    Hey Pam,

    Don’t know if you remember me or not but we talked for a while at L&L a couple of years back when you spoke a couple of times and gave the closing speech. If you’re looking for topics I would love to hear you write about what happens to unschoolers when they become adults – going to college, working, “supporting” themselves and successfulness. My husband has concerns that raising our children in a radical unschooling life will be detrimental for them later in life, that they won’t know how to function in the “real world.” He doesn’t really know any grown unschoolers and is concerned for our children.

    This is probably one of the very best, most reassuring blogs I’ve ever read about radical unschooling, especially because your kids are grown up, so you’ve obviously walked the talk!

at least the device is totally death for any i2c stuff, means that Andy
is right, that it fails on prior PCI stuff already.

Coming up by default with a PCI latency of 0 also looks insane.

It is also not reproducible on a recent 2.6.26 _64 quad too.

Unload the drivers, put the device out, wait 35 seconds, load the
drivers again, insert that card and report it is still the same.

Series Title: Atmospheric environment vol:35 issue:3 pages:539-548
Abstract: Different types of ancient and recent hydraulic mortars were collected from well-documented archaeological, historic and modern buildings in various geographical locations turban, suburban, rural and maritime) of Italy, Spain and Belgium, representative of different environmental impacts, types and degrees of deterioration. A synthesis of the characteristics of the collected samples is presented, along with the identification of the formation products that occurred on the sample surfaces as a result of the reaction of the mortars with atmospheric pollutants. The analyses were performed by means of optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) and ion chromatography (IC). The results obtained prove that sulphation processes takes place on hydraulic mortars, leading to gypsum formation on the external surface of the samples. Through the reaction of gypsum with the aluminate hydrate of the binder, ettringite Formation was found to occur on a cement-based restoration mortar sampled in Antwerp.

I just get it off of http://rpm.pbone.net

First search for mathml-fonts (because libabiword needs them)
Then search for libabiword -- if you've set up Rpm Forge (Dag Wieers)
repository (libabiword needs a couple file from there)
Then find abiword

[CentOS] CentOS, Firefox, and Java Plugin

Starting in Firefox 3.6.7 (I think) the (Sun) Java plugin changed names.
Here is what it should look like ...

$ ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jun 24 19:32
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so -> /usr/java/latest/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

The plugin name changed .. the old one plugin is still in the jdk, but
will silently fail in the browser.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your evalutaion and +1 on making it the default client. I
infrequently (every other year) try a software VoIP client and so far it
has always wasted much of my time trying different ones that claim to
support whatever but don't actualy do so in a stable way.

It would be great to have a default client that simply works in 98 out
of 100 times.

You asked for DFSG compatibility, which doesn't tell us if it's a free
documentation license.  I still believe that the survey was very
suggestive.  It wasn't your intention, but simply the result of your
belief that documentation is software, too.

It _is_ with little impact, but the DOS build looks into version.el to
set $(version) in the top-level Makefile, which all the sub-Make's
then use.  You probably didn't think of grepping the files in the
msdos/ subdirectory when you looked for the effects of that change.  I
will fix this when I have time.

I don't expect anyone to know all those factoids, much less being an
expert on how the DOS port builds and works.  Just talking before
changes like that are made is good enough.

#33 James and the Giant Peach

22 Feb

I want to take a moment to begin a discussion on believability.

Here’s the deal: Roald Dahl books are not believable.  They are high-fantasy, “who in their right mind could have thought of this stuff?” wonderful-beyond-imagination books.  Am I right?  I think most would agree.  When I sat down to read James and the Giant Peach, I finished it in less than 2 hours but felt as if it took ten minutes to read it because I was so caught up in this giant peach and its inhabitants.  After I finished and put the book down I thought to myself, “That is just a crazy story.  Who would honestly believe that could happen?”  But I want to ask you, my readers, DOES IT MATTER?

I know that some of you like to stick to contemporary or realistic fiction.  Some of you like high fantasy or paranormal.  Some of you prefer dystopian novels.  I value each and every one of your opinions and now is your time to shine.  I truly want to know if it matters to you whether the story you are reading is believable.  Make this post your sounding board, my friends.

James and the Giant Peach

by Roald Dahl

    The only time I really mind if it is believable or not is when it is realistic fiction. If you jump off a bridge, survive and then outrun the mafia only to run into Justin Beiber whom you date and then marry and have lots of babies with…well then I’m going to be pissed because there is JUST no way that is going to happen.

    However, if I’m reading a genre that I already know to expect unbelievable elements..then I’m all good.

    I personally like reading a mixture of both. I love getting lost in some completely unbelievable world..I love the imagination and the step back away from our world. But then sometimes I like to be grounded and reading something contemporary and realistic that keeps my head from floating too far in the clouds!🙂

    I love James and the Giant Peach by the way!

    I totally agree with Jamie! If I know going into the story that there will be fantastical elements, I’m good. But if crazy stuff pops up in the middle, like the random telepathy in the middle of my contemporary read, then I’m pissed. I feel the same about movies and stuff too. If I know going in it’s craziness, then I don’t have a problem with it.🙂

    February 23, 2011 at 12:40 pm

    I think the great think about reading is finding a book that is completely unrealistic, but the author makes it feel real. Expectation is key too. You know going into Dahl that you are going to go down some wacky path, and you can revel in it.

Print Books Can Coexist With eBooks

I got an email this week from Allison Morris, who helped to create the following infographic (which is funny considering I just posted something on my personal Facebook account about how I can’t assimilate information easily from infographics, and how it’s probably a function of me reading novels instead of graphics novels as a kid).  Allison and her crew at have done a good job with this one, though, and it highlights a point that I bring up a lot with children’s librarians who feel threatened by the use of digital media with kids: print and electronic books can co-exist, and print is still preferred by most people. Digital versions of books can be used as pedagogical, motivational and storytelling tools; they can be used for convenience sake while travelling; they can supplement paper books or allow interaction with the material in more dynamic ways that can support multiple learning styles.  eBooks are NOT going to kill treebooks, at least not for kids.  Not for a long while yet.

Indo-European Lexicon

PIE Etymon and IE Reflexes

Below we display: a Proto-Indo-European (PIE) etymon adapted from Pokorny, with our own English gloss; our Semantic Field assignment(s) for the etymon, linked to information about the field(s); an optional Comment; and Reflexes (derived words) in various Indo-European languages, organized by family/group in west-to-east order where Germanic is split into West/North/East families and English, our language of primary emphasis, is artificially separated from West Germanic. IE Reflexes appear most often as single words with any optional letter(s) enclosed in parentheses; but alternative full spellings are separated by '/' and "principal parts" appear in a standard order (e.g. masculine, feminine, and neuter forms) separated by commas.

Reflexes are annotated with: Part-of-Speech and/or other Grammatical feature(s); a short Gloss which, especially for modern English reflexes, may be confined to the oldest sense; and some Source citation(s) with 'LRC' always understood as editor. Keys to PoS/Gram feature abbreviations and Source codes appear below the reflexes; at the end are links to the previous/next etyma [in Pokorny's alphabetic order] that have reflexes.

All reflex pages are currently under active construction; as time goes on, corrections may be made and/or more etyma & reflexes may be added.

Pokorny Etymon: konəmo-, knāmo-, or kenəmo-   'shinbone'

Semantic Field(s): Bone

Indo-European Reflexes:

Perhaps checking that those bugs are in fact not in the newest version

[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: graphviz 2999.9.0.0

Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljenovic at gmail.com
Mon Apr 26 09:46:36 EDT 2010

I'm pleased to announce the latest version of my graphviz library that
provides Haskell bindings to the Graphviz graph visualisation suite.

There are numerous changes in this release, the most important of which

* graphviz now has an FAQ and an improved README as well as its own
  homepage: http://projects.haskell.org/graphviz/ (as prompted by Eric

* Add support for record labels; values are automatically
  escaped/unescaped.  The `Record` and `MRecord` shapes have been
  added for use with these labels.  Requested by Minh Thu and Eric

* Add support for HTML-like values (this replaces the wrong and
  completely broken URL datatype).  Strings are automatically

* Various parsing improvements (including a slight parsing speed

In particular, graphviz is now able to parse almost all Dot graphs found
on my system (including samples shipped with Graphviz, Linux kernel
documentation and various other package documentations).  A list of the
breakages and why:

* /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/roundtrip/template.dot seems
  to be a binary file and thus can't be read.

* /usr/share/graphviz/graphs/directed/Latin1.gv uses Latin1 encoding; at
  the moment graphviz uses the system's locale encoding (or whatever GHC
  < 6.10 defaults to).

* /usr/share/doc/boost-*/html/libs/graph/example/graphviz_test.dot
  (various boost versions) has subgraphs in edges; graphviz currently
  can't cope with these.

* /usr/src/linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r1/Documentation/blockdev/drbd/drbd-connection-state-overview.dot
 uses incorrect syntax for the "minlen" attribute (it is meant to be an
 integer but actually contains a floating point value).

The plans for the next release (which I don't plan on even starting for
a while) are to focus on improving printing and parsing performance,
using a state-based printer and parser (as part of Dot syntax is
state-based) and force usage of UTF-8 (via text or utf8-string).

[C++-sig] boost::any

Jens Finkhäuser jens at unwesen.de
Thu Feb 23 00:10:09 CET 2006

Hi again!

> Which is why my idea was to provide such a converter for boost::any.
> But I don't know if a 'generic' converter (ie using automaticaly the
> specialised ones) is possible.
  Well, you could build a converter that converts boost::any to some
Python type, but inside that converter you would have to check the
typeid of the held object to decide what kind of Python object to
convert to. And you'd have to adapt that converter to every type of
object you later decide to put into that boost::any.
  As far as I recall, boost::python uses templates to let some of those
decisions happen at compile time. For that, you need distinct C++ types
that map to corresponding Python types, and as boost::any can hold,
well, any type you can't use that technique.

> Yes, but as far as I understand, the type_id of the c++ types is used to

  see above.

> It's an easy workaround. It seems to me that it's almost equivalent as to
> hand-code a converter for boost::any which knows a finished set of types.
> Does it make sense ?
  I think it does ;)
  The difference is, as I tried to point out above, that a hand-coded
converter for boost::any moves some decisions to run-time which can be
handled at compile-time. And (again, my memory might be wrong on this)
boost::python tries to handle them at compile time. So basically with a
hand-coded converter you would render some optimizations pointless that
boost::python offers you for free.
  Both is possible.

Hope that cleared up what I meant to say!

[Tutor] Re: [ANN] RUR: a Python Learning Environment (alpha)

André Roberge andre.roberge at ns.sympatico.ca
Mon Dec 13 19:42:44 CET 2004

This is weird (to me, anyways) as it works well on my computer.
However, I remember that I had to create "loadImages()" to
initialize the handlers early on, otherwise it was complaining
that it couldn't "ConvertToBitmap".

I'll have to see if I can move this statement elsewhere; I will reply
privately when I do it (so as not to clutter the list) and
will report to the list when the problem is solved.

Just to clarify: are you using wxpython 2.4.x under Windows?

Can't get it running -- it keeps saying:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/source/RUR/RURmain.py", line 28, in ?
    messenger.loadImages()    # load them up here after initialising
  File "C:\source\RUR\messenger.py", line 27, in loadImages
    HIT_WALL_IMAGE = wxImage('ouch2.png').ConvertToBitmap()
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\wx\_core.py", line 2282, in
    return _core_.Image_ConvertToBitmap(*args, **kwargs)
wx._core.PyNoAppError: The wx.App object must be created first!

Life & Travel

Instamorsels is a genius phrase coined by my girl Tomi of Tiger Lily Makeup, and I really couldn’t think of a more appropriate title for this post. Also, I am too tired to think of a title for this post. It’s that summer break mentality setting in early. I, like every other freshman on campus, am so done with school (unless you wish finals and papers could go on forever? I mean, that’s cool too). But I’m still in school. It’s kind of a problem.

To avoid the typos and errors galore sure to ensue if I attempt a full-blown review, here are a few things from the past week, including snapshots from my Instagram:

1. Spirit Animals

This one isn’t a snapshot, but I was watching this video of a baby duck (baby wigeon, maybe?), and I swear it is me in animal form. The frequent nodding off, the valiant attempt at head shaking, and then of course there is the ending. I have officially found my spirit animal. One more thing to cross of that list of short-term life goals.

2. Sushi

Broadly speaking, sushi is my favorite food in the world. In fact, the summer I interned in Taipei, I ate so much salmon sashimi at this one restaurant that I walked in two years later and the hostess was all oh hey, salmon sashimi right?

I got these crispy rice circles with spicy tuna & avocado over the weekend, and they were a) $7 for 3 pieces are you kidding? and b) not even good. The rice was so crispy it was almost impossible to bite, and the soy glaze was so overpowering I could barely taste the other ingredients. Only a couple more weeks before I can go home and have some real sushi…

3. Shopping

I am crazy over these badass ballerinas from ZARA. I must have picked them up and put them down a hundred times in-store, probably to the annoyance of the people I was with at the time. Oops. But they are so cute, non? And there’s a coral version, which is even prettier than it looks online. Do I get the fun and splashy coral or the practical and pretty black pair? Do I get both? Do I get any at all?! I don’t even like flats! But they’re only $40. But $40 is like a lot of salmon sashimi.

Guys, I don’t know. Help.

4. The Candle Craze Never Ends…

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with fig fragrances, and at $16, this is by far the most affordable rendition of fig on my wishlist. Actually, if you know of a decent fig candle that costs less, please let me know in the comments. This one’s perfect, light and clean on the initial sniff, with the barest hint of vanilla. Then you get the sharp green and the milky sweetness of the fig, coupled with the warmth from the vanilla, which thank god is barely detectable. As soon as I finish burning something from my overflowing candle drawer, this shall be mine.

What have you been up to this week? Should I get the flats? What are some of your favorite candles?

15 thoughts on “Instamorsels

  1. Uh MM, now I NEED THOSE FLATS TOO! In CORAL!!! I remember getting a pair of flats from Zara, and to be honest they weren’t that comfortable at all so I kind of gave up on them. Still, I’d love to hunt these down and try them on just to see!

    Not a fan of fig here, sorry! I love it on other people, but on me it always has a way of going ALL KINDS of wrong! Now that winter is over I’m not so obsessed with candles anymore. I still have the Comfort Candle from Aromatherapy Associates. I love rose when it’s done right!

    • They’re gorgeous, aren’t they? I’m having so much trouble deciding between the colors LOL. But yeah, they definitely aren’t the most comfortable things to wear and I hate wearing flats to begin with (but they’re pretty, so…).

      Fig seems to be such a weird fragrance with people! I’ve heard a lot of people say they like it but it just goes wonky on their skin. And mmm rose, sounds yummy.

  2. Get the coral. I find that colorful shoes are always okay, unless you’re wearing some whackass outfit. And even then. Shrug. They’re shoes.

    Also, sushi. I feel you. I’m always up for sushi. I don’t know what is going to happen when it’s time to have kids and I can’t have any for forever.

    • I actually do prefer the coral combo, it looks even more stunning in person than it does online. But honestly, I feel like I’d get more mileage out of the black pair, because the only time I wear flats is during formal situations/to work. Ahhh sushi, I can’t wait to go home and eat my way through all the sushi in the world. Especially salmon nigiri. Yum.

  3. Suuushi!!! I love it so much. There was this awesome sushi restaurant where I used to live. (It’s still there, but I am not) and it had some of the best sushi ever. Like this Crispy Crunchy Tuna (or salmon) Roll. It was a typical makisushi roll with tuna and such, but then deep fried. Ugh…so good.

  4. OMG THOSE FLATS. You need to buy those, in both colors, YES. I will be able to hit up a Zara’s soon I think (I think? Ottawa better have an effing Zara or else) and I *HOPE* these are still there to try on because YOW. ZA. I might even cave and just buy them online. THANKS, enabler.

    Also – SUSHI! I love sushi so much too, but I don’t eat it a lot because, hello I buy a lot of makeup and have very little money for food. Dammit.

    And now I want sushi.

    • HAHAHA in both colors, I always love your advice😛 They’re pretty, huh? Sorry, couldn’t help it LOL. Yeah, I wish it wasn’t so expensive, I miss being able to eat it on the daily because it was so cheap in Taipei.

Chime in! (no self promotional links please)

Creating a Sense of Urgency

Twenty years ago, Robert Wolgemuth and I started a publishing company. We had a dream to publish books that truly made a difference, in people’s lives and in the overall culture.

Photo courtesy of ©

The only problem was that we didn’t have much money. Our competitors had seemingly every advantage, including piles of working capital (or so we thought). All we had was a dream and our ability to respond quickly.

As it turned out, we signed numerous authors for less than the competition was willing to pay, simply because we moved fast and got the deals done. Many authors were willing to give up some advance money, believing that our hustle in signing them would translate into similar hustle in selling their books. More often than not, they were right.

Thus, responsiveness became our competitive advantage. We could never pay more than our competition and usually offered much less. But we could out-maneuver and out-flank almost all of them. We were lean and mean. As a result, we grew rapidly.

Unfortunately, in the 20-plus years since we began that venture, I have learned that there seems to be an inverse relationship between a company’s size and the sense of urgency embedded in the culture.

More often than not, small companies have a sense of urgency. Why? Because their very survival is at stake. If they don’t move quickly, they get squashed by larger, more established competitors.

On the other hand, it is rare to find large companies that truly have a sense of urgency. Their circumstances rarely demand it. They can continue with business-as-usual and do pretty well. Nothing has to be done today or even this week. Nothing is really at stake—or so they think. Often, by the time they wake up, it’s too late.

But in today’s environment, no one can afford to drift along with the status quo. Growth is not a foregone conclusion. Even survival cannot be taken for granted.

The companies that thrive in today’s economy will be those that can shift their cultures from the slower pace of business-as-usual to urgency. Because of this, I have made “Urgency” our annual theme for Thomas Nelson. I want this attribute to permeate every aspect of our culture. I know we have a long way to go.

But first, we have to understand it. To create a sense of urgency, we must do four things well:

The Urgency Wheel

  1. Activate. Like many larger organizations, we do lots of analysis. Obviously, this can be helpful. No one wants to go into battle without a carefully thought-through battle plan. But as everyone knows, analysis can easily lead to “analysis for analysis sake.” When this happens, the organization becomes paralyzed.

    Often the real issue is courage. The point of absolute certainty never comes. It is foolish to assume that it does. Instead, urgency requires that we activate quickly: Make a decision. Get off the dime. Do something!

    As the old adage goes, “it is easier to steer a moving object.” If you’ve made the wrong decision, you can adjust. But if you wait too long, you miss the opportunity entirely.

    More than ever, people want fast decisions. Speed can be a competitive advantage. But this requires leaders who are willing to activate and get themselves, their teams, and their projects into motion.

  2. Accelerate. Urgency requires more than activation. Yes, you have to start quickly, but you also have to keep things moving. Getting a project green-lighted is only the beginning.

    There are hundreds of impersonal forces (and some personal) that will conspire to slow you down—paperwork, approvals, processes, committees, budgets, etc. Some of these things are necessary—but not as many as you think or the organization would like you to believe.

    It is the nature of bureaucracies to become self-serving. When they do, the process becomes an end in itself. As a leader, you have to fight this. You have to identify obstacles and remove them. You must keep the pedal to the metal and keep things moving. If you don’t, inertia will take over and your project will die.

  3. Achieve. Cultivating a sense of urgency is all about producing results. All the stuff that it takes to produce results—paperwork, approvals, processes, committees, and budgets—are not an end in themselves. They are only the means. If you do all this and don’t accomplish your goals, you have lost.

    Too often people think that the objective is to complete their task list. If they do so, they think they have actually accomplished something. This is not necessarily the case. Tasks are a necessary but insufficient condition of achievement.

    My goal at Thomas Nelson is to create a culture that is outcome-focused rather than task-focused. I don’t care how we produce the results (within the appropriate ethical boundaries), so long as we produce them. We need to stay focused on the what and give our people room to decide the how.

  4. Assess. Urgency does not rule out assessment. In fact, it demands it. If we are going to get faster at producing results, we have to assess what is working and what is not. We must then eliminate the waste.

    Everything should be questioned in light of whether or not it impedes or facilitates the outcome. Does a meeting enable us to move more quickly? If so, great. Call a meeting. But so often we call meetings as a way to procrastinate the decision. Then a single meeting begets more meetings. Before you know it, you’ve built a slow, lumbering bureaucracy.

    The only antidote is to this is to eliminate everything that does not facilitate the desired outcome. Our job as leaders—as opposed to bureaucrats—is to remove the obstacles and give our people the best chance of achieving their goals and ours.

What specifically can you do to create more urgency? Try these:

  • Walk faster—show some hustle.
  • Respond faster to emails and voice mails. Don’t allow yourself to become someone else’s excuse for not getting their work done.
  • Get to the point quickly and insist that others do the same.
  • Keep meetings short and on-point. Always insist on an agenda.
  • Eliminate every piece of paperwork that doesn’t facilitate a specific outcome. My motto: “When in doubt, throw it out.”
  • Be quick to change tactics. If something is not moving you toward your desired outcome, do something else.
  • Do it now!

It’s easy to see a lack of urgency in others, but can you see it in yourself? What else can you do, beginning now, to create a sense of urgency in yourself, your department, and with your projects?

Jindal Is Smart? Really?

In the commentary about LA Governor Bobby Jindal’s disastrous response to Obama’s speech Tuesday night, we keep hearing how smart he is. So what do we call a supposedly bright person who is a creationist and believes that an exorcism cast out cancer? And this is personal:

Jindal and I both received degrees in biology with honors from Brown in the exact same year. Having gone through that program at the same time, there is no conceivable way that he received his degree not knowing that there is overwhelming evidence from the fossil record for evolution regardless of his focus (“the most minimal details of population genetics” have nothing to do with what Jindal erroneously claimed).

Like Razib, I’m willing to posit that Jindal is very bright. That leaves two possibilities: either Jindal was being willfully ignorant when he wrote the essay four years after he graduated, or he wasn’t paying attention in class. Razib rightly concludes:

I don’t doubt that Bobby Jindal is extremely intelligent, but if I had to guess what sort of person wrote the essay above I wouldn’t have felt embarrassed assuming that the author was an average student at a Christian high school! This doesn’t mean that Jindal isn’t an efficient technocrat, his record speaks for itself. But I think that this piece would suggest he is not truly broadly educated.

And that devalues my degree.

Nonetheless, conservatives such as NY columnist David Brooks still don’t get it–this is Brooks’ immediate response to Jindal’s speech:

While I almost feel sorry for him, what the hell is Brooks thinking? “A promising politician?” Your guy is a creationist and believes in casting out demons. Sweet baby Intelligent Designer, I had to use the post tag of “Demonic Possession” to talk about the man. Jindal is a fucking loon. That’s your problem, not the delivery or the strategy.

  1. Badger3k says:

    Who was it who said that you don’t have to be smart to be a politician? Add in the ability to lie with a straight face and suck up to whoever will get you votes, and I think Mr Jindal is a “promising politician”.
    Or maybe he meant that as a politician, Jindal promises a lot of things. Same words, different emphasis.

  2. clheiny says:

    I think I’ve figured it out. Palin obviously wasn’t a success for the Republicans, so they’ve decided to turn the stupid dial up another notch.

  3. jls says:

    the key to success is sincerity. if you can fake that you will succeed.

  4. T. Bruce McNeely says:

    I have little doubt that Jindal is smart.
    I have somewhat more about his integrity.

  5. This is where Bobby Jindal got his talking point from:

  6. abb3w says:

    To give the devil his due, Jindal sounds (from tracking his quote about the fossil record to a more complete source) like he is not a Young-Earth Creationist, but an Old-Earth creationist or Theistic Evolutionist… who has been listening to far too many YEC talking points. This is marginally less stupid.
    It’s also worth noting the essay dates to 1995; his position may have evolved one way or another since. =)

  7. D. C. Sessions says:

    That leaves two possibilities: either Jindal was being willfully ignorant when he wrote the essay four years after he graduated, or he wasn’t paying attention in class.

    Fallacy of exclusion.
    It’s quite possible that he is bright and was paying attention in class — and that he has no problem at all bullshitting in pursuit of power.

  8. Edward says:

    There was a required class I took in College where I got an F on my first paper and the first mid-term. The subject was one I was interested in and familiar with. At first I was wondering WTF I was doing wrong. Then I had an idea – for the second paper, I looked over my notes from the class and put exactly what the professor said into my own words. I got an A on that paper and did very well on all the papers and tests for the rest of the class, winding up with a B in the class (because of those initial F’s). I was able to pull this off because I am smart. It disgusted me that someone so narrow minded could get a faculty position at a top university, but I needed the class to graduate, and a fight with the prof didn’t seem worth the risk.
    Anyone who has observed the republican party for the past quarter century knows that to succeed in the republican party, one needs to bow to the republican orthodoxy. I think that, from the point of view of that orthodoxy, Jindal is a promising politician. Furthermore, he has to be smart to pull it off. But I won’t be voting for him or any other promising Republicans any time soon.

  9. Bruce E says:

    I have little doubt that Jindal is smart.
    I have somewhat more about his integrity.

    What does that do to Hanlon’s razor? Do we need a corollary for dishonesty/integrity instead of malice that goes the other way (preferring dishonesty over stupidity)?

  10. D. C. Sessions says:

    What does that do to Hanlon’s razor?

    Hanlon’s Razor primarily applies to single events where brains are especially good at outsmarting the actor.
    The aphorism you’re looking for is something like, “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times is enemy action.”

  11. DarkSyde says:

    Hahaha! That was a sweet little close man.

  12. Martijn says:

    Isaac Newton, Linus Pauling, Kurt Gödel, James Watson: geniuses who also happened to believe in very stupid things.
    So Jindal is in good company. His bigger problem is that based on his speech he not only believes in some weird stuff, but that he is just not a very good politician.

  13. Patsymon says:

    It is possible to be very smart and yet be held captive by a fallacious mindset of beliefs. There are “intelligent” people the world over who are able to write, read, and speak well, who can do math, who have successful occupations, etc., but who also believe in supernatural/religious dogma. Bobby Jindal can be counted as one among that hypnotized horde. Like far too many, he might be able to do long division on a napkin, speak in complete sentences, and navigate the complexities of government operations, but he also seems to have had his brain’s reality-cognition center co-opted by a cultic ideological washing. It’s these “smart” ones that historically have caused the most trouble in the world by leading more numerous, “less-smart,” credulous populations into one abyss or another.

  14. SLC says:

    Ken Miller and Joe Levine must want to wear bags over their heads every time Jindals’ name is brought up.
    Re Martijn
    I don’t think it is entirely fair to bracket Issac Newton with the others mentioned as having weird ideas. One must remember that the state of knowledge in the 17th century was quite primitive compared with the 19th and 20th centuries. For instance, Newton believed in transmutation of elements through chemical processes. Such a hypothesis was not falsified until the discovery of the atomic nucleus so, in Newtons’ time, it was not an off the wall hypothesis, given the state of knowledge at the time.

  15. Herod the Freemason says:

    Ken Miller and Joe Levine must want to wear bags over their heads every time Jindals’ name is brought up.

    A missing link! You’ve just been over at Dispatches From the Culture Wars and you messed up a copy-and-paste.

  16. A hilarious moment from some hot GOP on GOP action:

  17. D. C. Sessions says:

    As long as we’re mentioning Robert Heinlein aphorisms (upthread) let’s recall that
    Man is not a rational animal, Man is a rationalizing animal.

  18. SLC says:

    Re Herod the Freemason
    Actualy, I didn’t do a copy/paste. I typed out the comment independently for both blogs.

  19. eriq says:

    the thing that irks me the most is why we dont see this on main stream news…i realize the dopes a faux arent quick to run a story like this, but what about credible news sources? is there anymore?
    most interesting is the fact that as americans the percentage of people who are atheist has grown a shit ton. i think its somewhere around 16%. thats huge given that 10 years ago it was like 5%.
    this is why extremist (republicans) are finding it difficult to control a majority of peeps. the old god fearing ways have come to an end. but i’d still let that jindal guy exorcise the peanuts outta my poop!

  20. Bobby Jindal is a politician. The only thing that matters to a politician is power. He will therefore do anything, say anything and adopt any position that he thinks will increase his chances of amassing more power. The ends justify the means, and if that means he gets to publicly forget his education and talk unscientific crap based on a monotheistic belief system, he will do so.

  21. Helen says:

    The theory of evolution is just a theory. Darwin states that everything came out of nothing. Anyone looking at a watch or a bacteria flagellum knows there’s a designer. Jindal isn’t my man though, we don’t need another muslim who claims to be a Christian now like BO. SARAH PALIN 2012!

  22. ipu4me says:

    Another cult follower. Helen is the other side of this story’s coin. She is not smart and is one of the follower sheep. Doesn’t know the difference between the colloquial use of theory and scientific theory, doesn’t know Evolution does not posit something from nothing, doesn’t know designer nonsense has been long debunked and has no basis in reality and thinks Obama is a Muslim. Reasonable, rational and logical Freethinkers can only hope the ReThugs run Palin in 2012. More Dem’s, enough to defeat any filibuster.

  23. rrl says:

    The problem with Jindal, independent of his evolution-denying-turned-prevaricator status (turns out he was NOT at Sheriff Lee’s office during Katrina–BIG LIE), is that he looks and speaks like an obsequious wimp. No one is going to take this guy seriously for president. He couldn’t look tough to save his life. All I see when I look at this dude is prune juice and orthopedic back-pillows.

  24. What just happened says:

    Oh my god, he was a Rhodes Scholar.

  25. sikis says:

    Oh my god, he was a Rhodes Scholar.

  26. sikis says:

    Oh my god, he was a Rhodes Scholar.

  27. Oh my god, he was a Rhodes Scholar.

Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier engaged in an all-out brawl at the UFC 178 media day just a couple of hours ago and even after the chaotic scenes they’ve continued to talk trash to each other online.

“Come on DC where was your takedown defense? I put you on your back in six seconds,” Jones taunted his rival on Twitter, though video footage seemed to suggest that Cormier had been tackled off the stage by security rather than Jones putting him there.

“I got some td def for you. Don’t ever put ur dirty face on me again,” Cormier responded, referring to the initial clash of heads that started the brawl.

“I won’t let another man get in my face and put his forehead against mine,” Cormier stated. “I will react every time. @JonnyBones next time I will slap you”

“Put some ice on that face DC, you got lots of interviews tomorrow,” Jones continued.

And the light-heavyweight champion couldn’t resist taking one last jab at his opponent.

“Lol those baby punches from the bottom, I really hope you have more prepared than that for when I take you down again”

“U hit like a bitch,”
Cormier informed him. “Better be kicking because I will eat ur punches all day. Ur a punk. I can’t wait to beat u up. My goodness.”

Jones also posted an Instagram video, seemingly soon after the confrontation, in which he mocked Cormier.

“Yo DC, you suck. You suck!” Jones said, grinning broadly. “You chopped me in the neck and got beat up, and I had you on your back…What! In like six seconds. You suck, you felt so weak.”

Incidentally, it should be noted that former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes, who nowadays is the UFC’s Vice President Of Athlete Development, warned both men that they’d be well advised to keep their mouths shut.

“@dc_mma @JonnyBones Chances are you 2 will not read this but what you’ve done is bad for the sport. I would stop talking about it,” Hughes wrote on Twitter.

Dana White wasn’t present for today’s incident, he actually just set off on a rare holiday.

“I just landed in Bora Bora for my first vacation in a while and it’s starting off perfect!!! @dc_mma and @JonnyBones” White wrote after word reached him about the fight.

Shinya Aoki’s first Strikeforce appearance last year didn’t go according to plan, but this evening he showed why he’s one of Japan’s best fighters with a quick win over Lyle Beerbohm.

Aoki produced the first offense of the evening with a body kick, but it wasn’t long before Beerbohm moved in and pressed the Japanese fighter up against the cage, looking to take him down.

Aoki was having none of it though, and reversed the position, taking Beerbohm down instead. He then quickly seized his back, rolled him over and rather than applying the traditional rear-naked choke submission from the position, the creative BJJ expert applied a face crank instead that quickly forced his opponent to tap.

This was a much needed win for Aoki, and perhaps a fitting one as well given the recent woes that his native Japan has suffered in recent times.

Great Insider Info for Soon-to-be Recruits

Any additional comments?

This book talk about some of the common pitfalls associated with stepping foot on Parris Island. It's a first hand experience and accurate portrayal of what female recruits will go through in order to call themselves Marines. After listening to this book, I am more confident about my niece's decision to join the Marines. I didn't know anything about the USMC prior to listening to this audiobook, and the information here has expanded my understanding of what exactly it is that happens during boot camp training for the Marine Corps, particularly for women. Nicely written and well narrated.

Publisher's Summary

Some girls will always have your back, and some girls can't help but stab you in it.
Junior year, the suburbs of Philadelphia. Alex, Mollie, and Veronica are those girls: They're the best of friends and the party girls of the school. But how well does everybody know them - and really, how well do they know one another? Alex is secretly in love with the boy next door and has joined a band - without telling anyone. Mollie suffers from a popular (and possibly sociopathic) boyfriend and a serious mean streak. And Veronica just wants to be loved - literally, figuratively, physically...she's not particular. Will this be the year that bonds them forever or tears them apart for good?
In a debut novel that is raw, honest, hilarious, and thought provoking, Lauren Saft masterfully conveys what goes on in the mind of a teenage girl and how often even the closest of friends walk the thin line between love and hate.

Simply Brilliant
I did not know what to expect when I drove down the lane to Scoveston Grove, but I certainly didn't imagine I would have found the gem that I discovered on When I drove up I was welcomed by the owners Sue and Ray who offered tea and Barabrith, which was served next to the wood burning stove. On booking I had not realised that the property was a B & B but Sue offered a number of suggestions of where I could eat and also offered to make me something. I took her up on her offer and chose to have an omelette which was fresh and really flavoursome. My room was extremely comfortable and had a number of very thoughtful touches e.g. bottles of water in the fridge on the landing, home made biscuits and full size shower gel. Breakfast was the best I have had in any hotel recently and I stay in a lot of hotels throughout the year. Would I recommend Scoveston Grove? Absolutely - I only wish I could have stayed longer!

Very pleasant location and with very nice, clean well decorated accomodation. Nice breakfast with plenty of choice with a wide range of home made and locally sourced ingrediants. The hosts couldn't do enough to make my stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. I would be more than happy to recommend this to family and friends if they were looking for great quality affordable accomodation in this area.

Both series are about an incredibly popular game and a high-stakes tournament. Lessons about hard work, teamwork, and friendship ensue.

Both Angelic Layer and .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet share in the fact that they are both happy and light reads. They both take place in an advanced semi-future with cyber games, although the world of .hack and 'The World' can seem darker at times.

A strong will and an egg. Both series pair these two elements together with a bit of childhood innocence. In both stories, the main character has a strong desire and faith in what comes from the egg. While Angelic Layer may be a tad old, it's worth the look if you like the feel Shugo Chara! has in it, as Angelic Layer has a similar one.

Chobits pretty much takes place in the same universe as Angelic Layer, making it somewhat of a spin-off. If you pay attention, you'll see light references to Angelic Layer. It's even mentioned once later in the manga. The creator of the Angelic Layer game is also the creator of the Chobits persocoms. However, the connection between the anime adaptations is very different.

Magic Knight Rayearth and Angelic Layer are not that similar in terms of storyline, but if you want to check who inspired Suzuhara Misaki and her angel Hikaru, reading the first series of Rayearth is a good call. Shidou Hikaru has the same determination and fighting spirit of Misaki/Hikaru. Read both series and compare the development of these two "little" girls with a lot of challenges to win in their lives.
reportRecommended by Superman
Instead of life size dolls, Angelic Layer has small "Barbie-sized" dolls (aka Angels) that are pitted against each other by their owners (aka Deuses), who control the Angels with their minds. The main character Misaki ends up buying one on impulse when she first arrives to move in with her aunt and ends up getting involved in an Angelic Layer tournament.

CT DE plans summer tour

Norwich (Conn.) Norwich Free Academy defensive end Matt Shaughnessy was supposed to camp at a few places this summer, but ended up taking an unofficial visit to Syracuse and camping at UConn. He plans to see three more schools this August.
"My father and I are planning on taking visits to Wisconsin, Michigan State and Iowa this August," said the 6-foot-6, 210-pounder who also plays tight end. "I'd like to decide before the end of the summer if I can, but if I need official visits I'll take them."
Shaughnessy has offers from Uconn, Indiana and Syracuse while Wisconsin said they will offer once he sees the campus.
"We went to Syracuse for a day in June and were very impressed," he said. "I camped at UConn and tested to see what I could do and I did well. I ran like a 4.6 in the forty and a 4.4-second shuttle. I was going to camp at Wisconsin but didn't get to make it because I'm taking summer classes."
Right now it looks like a six team battle.
"Wisconsin, Syracuse, Uconn and Indiana are all up there because they've all basically offered," he said. "Iowa and Michigan State said they're close to offering. I'd be interested in a few other schools like Notre Dame, USC and Boston College if they were to offer, but I might not wait that long."
As a junior, Shaughnessy estimates he made 50-plus tackles and 10 sacks on defense and caught four passes on offense ("I usually just block."). He was also named all-state.
