Colleges With a Conscience

This school is one of the colleges profiled in The Princeton Review's book, Colleges with a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement. It was selected because of its record of having excellent service-learning programs and blending academics with community work.

In a recent letter from the President of Trinity, apparently Trinity has opted not to be included in the US News and World Report rankings anymore because they feel the rankings are not representative of the school. I'm sure it's not because they've dropped to 34th of liberal arts colleges. Somehow I think Williams and Amherst won't be opting out. Well, good thing they're still #1 in being thought of as white elitists. What the @#$% happened?!?!? Interesting that Trinity is considered one of the "Colleges with a Conscience"

Max Roach 1924-2007

One of my all time favorite Jazz musicians passed away yesterday. If you've never heard Max Roach, take a few minutes and enjoy.

Here is a good biography with music and videos. Also here is a good NY Times piece.

Musician, teacher and activist, Mr Roach helped to make the drums a centerpiece of jazz and music in general.

Thanks.

In a word: Awesome

No Real Than You Are Right back at ya big guy!
