		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes procrastination is a good thing. (This advice doesn&#8217;t apply to statistics assignments, though.) I had finished reading the two books about Mr. Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools, back in January. I was inspired by what appeared to be a fantastic tale of optimism and hope. But now, is it just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m not working on a dissertation this summer, I&#8217;m reading books again. The first of several reviews is on SuperFreakonomics, the sequel to the widely popular book by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Sure, the first book had that little problem with the abortion model being wrong. Total count versus per capita? Ignoring the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Chicago, before my talk on the first 2 chapters of my dissertation, I was going to spend Saturday afternoon wandering the maze at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, between stays for the Hyatt and American Airlines promotion. It&#8217;s amazing how things get when two companies &#8211; in this case American Airlines and Marriott &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By definition, much of what passes in this world is middle-of-the-road; not everything is top of the line. Much of life is working for the center, the average. This includes what I read; books can be, well, average. This post covers a lot of well, decent books &#8211; and a movie. They all receive 2 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What makes a good novel? Zombies? Well, not necessarily. We can look at results, first. There are plenty of lists of best fiction works, at least in English. There&#8217;s even a meta-site than combines 10 different lists, some popular, some literary, some juried. Only one book, George Orwell&#8217;s 1984, appears on all ten lists. Though [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been not the best summer in my Louisville. Most people I know in this town are associated with Bellarmine, and in the summer I don&#8217;t see them as often. I don&#8217;t receive as much invigorating interaction with students. It&#8217;s lonely. The pressure of the PhD increases daily. Furthermore, I&#8217;m having trouble working because I [...]]]></description>

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention publishes alerts like &#8220;Interim Guidance for People who have Close Contact with Pigs in Non-commercial Settings.&#8221; Really. They do. So far, even though as of last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the spirit of the &#8220;15 Books&#8221; meme on Facebook, I decided to look at my bookcase and figure out exactly what books would receive a 5 under the Book Rating System. As a reminder, here&#8217;s what a rating of 5 out of 5 stands for: Outstanding book. If nonfiction, the book made me learn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned the book Good to Great before, as it was where I read about The Stockdale Paradox. It&#8217;s worth quoting again, as great philosophy. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Memorial Day, I decided to delve into a different culture and read a book from a former military man. That book, by James Wesley Rawles, has an appropriate title, Patriots. The subtitle gives a strong hint of the content, &#8220;A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse.&#8221; It&#8217;s been very popular in these troubled [...]]]></description>
