My alma mater Smith is failing its students. The college is not alone. Here’s why: The Smith president sent an email describing with pride their culture of care in reopening. It basically described detailed approaches to physical safety with a couple other things tossed in including reference to race initiatives. Where oh where was any reference to psychological wellbeing of students and trauma they have experienced of late? Shouldn’t they include trauma responsiveness in any proposal related to care? Are Smithies immune somehow from trauma? Where is the effort to add mental health professionals to handle primary, secondary and vicarious trauma? Staff and faculty training? A culture of care cannot ignore mental health. Smith and other institutions are failing to understand how returning to campus will feel amidst a pandemic, racial tension, economic uncertainty, confusion and strife, political division, familial dysfunction (latter happens in elites too). Smith has, yet again, missed the boat. It’s a boat that’s not hard to see. Yipes. …see more

Sometimes, you see unrelated items and they message together. I saw that the Community College of VT is celebrating its 52nd Commencement. The same newsletter noted that the Hermitage might be auctioned off. What a contrast. That got me thinking again of Southern Vermont College, founded in 1926. This will be its 93rd commencement if my math is right. And, I hope it is not its last. I, along with others, am committed to seeing if this remarkable college can celebrate its 100th Commencement! I get the challenges. I get the tightness of the timetable. But, I still believe. Yes. So, don't bury SVC yet. It's funeral may come but not if I can help it. At least my group will go down fighting hard. Very hard. If you don't try and don't believe, I can assure you nothing survives. So, best to try and believe. The other pathways foreshadow doom. And, for the record, doom and lack of transparency aren't my thing. Success is -- and I mean success not in the monetary sense. I mean in helping people become their best selves. That's part of the SVC mission -- enabling people to realize on their potential. How any anyone who believes in the mission NOT fight? …see more

In case you missed it: Farmers Can Opt Out Of The ACA... But how are they to pay for their broken legs, diabetes and pregnancies? No problem as long as they have cash. The Farm Bureau will be allowed to sell skimpy health care coverage while offering false hope of good quality health insurance to its members . Farm Bureau officials estimated that about 42,000 people would eventually take its coverage and promised lower rates than plans complying with federal mandates. They believed the takers would be individuals without coverage or struggling to pay for individual coverage. I hope that ‘life on the farm’ is as healthy as it sounds since the new insurance coverage might not pan out the way it’s been sold to the farming community. Selected Excerpt: “...The Farm Bureau would be able to set higher rates or reject coverage for people who have pre-existing medical conditions. They also suggested that coverage could be limited for large expenses, such as a pregnancy or cancer treatment.” …see more

Surely there is pent-up demand for high resolution audio (hi-res audio). After all, doesn’t everyone want the “best sounding” audio? Think about this...

I met Delano Martin last week. He’s been shot twice, and he spends his days trying to figure out how to stay alive. Before I tell you how Delano and I came to meet, I want you to read one of his poems.

A valuable and positive aspect of being an entrepreneur is that you don't have to work with jerks... I passed a group of people on the sidewalk and overheard one of them say, "I hate the people I work with."
