We are committed to attracting talented students with diverse backgrounds, cultures, experiences and perspectives.
We strive to cultivate an inclusive environment for our students that respects and reflects the diverse communities in which we live and work. The intellectual exchange of ideas, learning to interact effectively with each other, and developing attitudes of responsibility for leadership in society and decision-making, are enhanced through a student population that respects and values the insights gained from various points of view. Whether you plan to be a scholar or work in the environmental design professions, we welcome you to join our community!
"Celebrating Diversity" Open House for Prospective Graduate Applicants
At this event, held in early November, you will meet the graduate program advisers, obtain information and guidance about the application process, and hear students and alumni talk about their experiences at CED. For more information and to RSVP, visit the event webpage.
"A Berkeley education is more than just a classroom experience; it is the rich history of activism and diversity that empowers students to be mindful of and critically respond to issues at hand."
CED attracts faculty whose research is multi-disciplinary and focuses on such issues as social and environmental justice, equitable design, community change and advocacy, and domestic and global poverty. In addition, we house research centers that study the dynamics of design, communities, schools, and the environment at local, regional, national, and global scales.
Students can become involved in research at CED in several ways. They can contact faculty directly to see if any graduate student research (GSR) positions are available or if they can receive independent study credit for assisting faculty with research projects. Students should contact their program advisers for guidelines and restrictions on independent study. The Undergraduate Research at Berkeley website also lists campus-wide research opportunities.
"Given that I'm interested in key social and economic issues impacting Latinos, as an academic I have been provided at Berkeley with the theoretical skills and research tools needed to conduct groundbreaking research (and social action) on this historically disenfranchised population."
Below is a selected list of faculty with diversity-related research specializations. See CED Faculty for a full list of college faculty and their specializations.

THE RED ROAD Review: New Sundance Drama Is Sinister
by Allison Keene Posted 183 days ago
The Sundance Channel had an outstanding track record in 2013 for delivering some of the best television not only of the year, but in recent memory. However, most of its programming was rebroadcast from other (usually foreign) markets, with only the excellent Rectify being a wholly-owned production. The Red Road is now the second production that Sundance owns outright, and it falls in step with much of the channel's "new for you" programming, including Top of the Lake and The Returned. But it's a tricky line to walk sometimes for dramas to have enough momentum to keep them from becoming too mired in darkness. Hit the jump to see which side of the line The Red Road falls on.

Once upon a time there were 2 great kingdoms separated by only a few miles. And in between these two kingdoms, right on the border of their empires, lied a lake which supplied the kingdoms with all off their water. But one summer there was a drought and the two kingdoms were fighting over the use of the scarce resource. The Kings decided to meet and settle the dispute of who should get the water and who should look elsewhere. The two kings decided that they would have a tributary digging contest and whoever was able to dig the best tributary from the lake, would be able to direct the most water to their own kingdom.
Both kings agreed to the contest and the day came when the contest would be started. The only problem is that one of the kingdoms, the land of Hustle and Bustle, didn't have good shovels and the other kingdom did.
"That's okay," thought the king of Hustle and Bustle. "We only have hand shovels, but if we work really hard and always have people shoveling all day, then we will dig the largest tributary."
Well wouldn't you know, by the second week of the competition, the Kingdom of Hasbeen was off to a much better start. Their ditch was much larger and deeper. The citizens of Hasbeen were so confident that they would win the contest with their big shovels that they decided to take longer breaks and sleep in later and get a later start.
On the other side of the land, the King of H & B, was nervous. He lengthened everyone's shifts and handed out 5 hour energy drinks, so that people wouldn't need as much sleep. "If you guys would just dig faster and harder, then we would be winning this contest."
King Deere was so insistent that many of his citizens got very tired and complained with each other in the hot sun. Accusations flew and work ethics were hindered. One of the citizens of H & B was working so hard that he nearly fell down exhausted of heat stroke. He had decided to take no breaks and had been working for 45 straight hours. He had to rest for 3 days before resuming work.
Two young citizens of H & B came to King Deere. "We have large, normal sized shovel, your heiness. Let us help you. We can dig twice as much dirt with same effort as you other citizen. Let us, we help you."
"No," said King Deere. "You are both too young and your muscles are immature. I think you would just cramp up in the heat of the day. You take your shovels and walk home. Do your mothers know where you are?"
And so the two young men, left the palace confused. As they walked home, they passed an old man, digging frantically away at the ditch with the only tool he had: an old teaspoon.
"Maybe next year fellas," the old man said as the boys walked away.
And so the young men walked into the forest and used their shovels to play baseball in the forest and after the month long competition, the Kingdom of Hasbeen defeated the Kingdom of Hustle and Bustle. Their ditch held 800,000 gallons of water and the kingdom of H & B's only held 750,000.
Hundreds of years later a descendant of King Deere invented hard-working tractors. And there was an NBA coach who liked to work on and collect those tractors. And he took his young team into a playoff fracas with the Los Angeles Lakers.
It didn't matter what the citizens of Hustle and Bustle did, or how hard they worked, or if their technique in digging was superior. They were thoroughly disadvantaged. And in the long run, the inevitable happened and they became exhausted and angry with one another in the process.
When the Jazz can't guard bigger, longer players in the paint, then they are as disadvantaged as the people who dig ditches with hand shovels. It's true. I believe that the Jazz have played very hard these first two games and at some times have played really well. But when they are exerting all of their energy in throwing different defensive looks at not only Kobe Bryant, but Pau Gasol, then it is understandable when they run out of energy in the fourth quarter, or don't have the legs and patience to take and hit the open shot or attack the basket. It is as simple as that. All the same things happened in game two as happened in game one. The Lakers got most of their points in the paint and when we decided to double down, they passed it to wide open 3 point shooters who hit shots. And then Bryant did what he had to do, when he had to do it, which wasn't often enough.
If the Jazz are going to be able to beat the Lakers in LA, then they are going to need to defend the paint without sending the entire perimeter defense inside to double. They need to force Kobe Bryant to beat them and he isn't as explosive as he was a year ago and we are better at defending him. But Gasol is just having it way too easy. He is now 16-22 from the field in the first two games. That's 72.72% for those of you keeping track at home. Gasol has a really big shovel. It is sold on informercials by Billy Mays and it is advertised as the biggest shovel on the market. Gasol bought one, when it was offered for a limited time. Boozer and Millsap are trying to dig bigger ditches with a sand shovel. And that is where all of the Jazz's problems start. And because of it, Jazz players are making mistakes due to lack of energy and having to do too much to overcome the deficits. And Deron Williams is going to exhaust himself trying his best.
The Jazz look tired and slow on offense. We look overmatched. We are just getting by with fantastic shooting efforts by players. In game one it was Boozer. In game two it was Deron and Millsap. But we can't rely on that. We are going to have a hard time winning in Salt Lake City, unless we shoot the ball well.
Forget about guarding Kobe. Brewer is doing an admirable job of that right now. We aren't sending him to the line as much and most of his made shots are made with great effort. We just need to guard Pau Gasol. You know, the guy with the funny facial hair. If we can handle him, then we can handle the Lakers. Or at least they will have a much harder time beating us.
I think it is time to bring in the guys with the big shovels. If you need to find them, they will be in the forest playing baseball.

(08/06/12) - Thousands of military veterans are expected to make their way back to Mid-Michigan this year, and many will be looking for work. There are local companies putting out the "help wanted" signs, but the hiring mission has been a little tougher than they expected. We talked to Two Men and a Truck and E.L. Hollingsworth Monday. Jeff Berlin is CFO of E.L. Hollingsworth in Flint. He also served in the Marine Corps and was disappointed at the response when he offered a free truck driving school for veterans honorably discharged in the last 12 months. "I know there's veterans that need work," he said.
In Flint Township, 26-year-old vet Jacob Lockman found employment with Two Men and a Truck, but the company tells us there's still plenty of work available. Lockman remembers being nervous about returning back home. "Family and friends told me there weren't many jobs and how tough it would be to find a job."
Two Men and a Truck in Flint Township is hiring and if you're a veteran, your application gets some special attention.
Even at companies making an effort to hire ex-military, the big question is, what kind of jobs will veterans take a chance on? Employers already know why they want to hire them.
Two Men and a Truck in Flint Township needs to hire six workers in the next two weeks. E.L. Hollingsworth has 50 positions they're looking to fill. For more information on Two Men and a Truck, click HERE.

August 2, 2008
The richest harness race in North America is the $1.5 million Hambletonian for 3-year-old trotters, one full lap of the 1 mile oval at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, NJ. 25,006 were on hand on Saturday for the special afternoon card of racing, with rains early in the card downgrading the track to "good". Deweycheatumnhowe, a perfect 14-for-14 lifetime, was bet down to 2-5 favoritism over Crazed at 7-2, who won his elimination heat in a career best time of 1:52 2/5. Canadian invader Clerk Magistrate was the 11-1 third choice, exiting a win in the Goodtimes at Mohawk and then a runner-up placing in the Hambletonian elimination.
Driver-trainer and co-owner Ray Schnittker took advantage of the inside post, getting the jump on the field to lead around the clubhouse turn saving ground on the pylons through slow fractions of 26 4/5, 55 seconds, and 1:23 2/5, while being stalked by longshot Velocity Hall and second choice Crazed down the backstretch. Turning for home, Velocity Hall tired but Crazed had something left, as driver Tim Tetrick moved him out to the two path for the stretch. Crazed gained steadily on the favorite, but under a right-handed whip Deweycheatumnhowe dug in late to hold on for the 1/2 length victory in 1:52. It was another 2 3/4 lengths back to longshot Make It Happen third.
Ray Schnittker said, "I don't think the front end was that great today, 26 4/5. I actually thought he might be getting beat halfway down the lane. He dug deep. He just dug in and refused to let (Crazed) get by. I guess an old dog has a hard time learning new tricks. I said, OK, if we get beat we get beat, but I'm going to do what's worked best for me. I was trying to back into Dave (Miller and Velocity Hall) as much as I could. I knew he didn't have much stock and was just trying to keep Crazed from having a fresh shot at me, keep him as long as I could. About a quarter of the way down the lane, we were trying for all we could go. (Crazed) was coming; it was a dogfight. I would have rather won by eight. I have a lot of great partners and a lot of great owners. I had a lot of people pulling for me and wishing me luck - drivers, race secretaries, judges - it was really surprising.
Asked where the colt would go next, he said, "We'll go to the World Trotting Derby (in Du Quoin, IL), and then up to Canada (for the Canadian Trotting Classic at Mohawk) and Kentucky (for the Kentucky Futurity at the Red Mile), and if he's still sound he's going to go to the Breeders Crown (back at the Meadowlands)."
Deweycheatumnhowe is named after a Three Stooges skit about a trio of shiester lawyers. They have this poster hanging in his barn.
Tim Tetrick behind second place finisher Crazed said, "He is the real dream; he is fast and can go with the big boys. We get to be in the dance. (Deweycheatumnhowe) is a great animal and even if you race second, that's not bad compared to Dewey. This is lots of fun, especially at our ages. He's (trainer Frank Antonacci) 24 and I'm 26; the young guns are here."

Having spent last weekend in the Windy City of Chicago, I was inspired to make a Windmill quilt block for the weekly video demonstration.
This block has a pinwheel in the center, and with the design around the pinwheel, your quilt will have a fun secondary design – if you sew blocks together without sashing.
Penny's Postcard Posse is Rounding up fabric postcards for the 4th of July. We'd love to beat last year's Roundup total of 1,223 fabric postcards.
Remember, there are still thousands of troops over there protecting citizens like you and me.
They love getting our fabric postcard greetings, and it doesn't take much time at all to sew one together. You can create these little treasures while you are watching TV or waiting for an appointment.
I'll be posting more free patterns for you at:
After playing with fabric and quilt block patterns, I am still undecided how to proceed with m. mouse's 15th birthday quilt.
You'll see some of the options when you reach the monthly news.
Several of you asked for more details about sewing strips together to make triangles, and this week, you'll see exactly how to make the triangles, as well as some of the quilts that can be made.
Also in the news:

At 4:30 this morning I took Tom to the airport. I was feeling a little strange all day. Then ... the doorbell rang, and I found a mysterious package outside on the porch. I saw Mari's name on the return address and ripped into it with a big smile on my face.
You may not know this, but Mari makes things other than cookies. And this is one example. I'm actually showing what she silk-screened on the back of the apron–but as you can see, the fish on the front are pure delight.
So my mood started to change. I knew I had class tonight ... and that if only I could strike up a conversation with someone, my loneliness might go away completely for awhile.

What class are you taking? What city is that mag in?

Stray: I go to Feldenkrais every Thurs. night. Jamie's in NY at the moment; he'll be returning to Berlin in Jan.
- Namowal said...
Feldenkrais? Is that sorta like yoga? I can be ignorant.
That is a sweet apron, by the way.
- Linda said...
Namo: I had to consult Wikipedia myself:
It's a method that holds that there's no separation between mind and body--that learning to move better can improve your overall well-being ... Instead of working to change your physical body, they work with your nervous system ...
Does that tell you anything? It uses movement instead of stretching and holding like yoga. I feel lots better when I leave than when I walk in, that's for sure.
- mari said...
My sister-in-law, who is a physical therapist, knows a lot about Feldenkrais. It is interesting. I've been doing mat Pilates for a few years now and as much as this sounds infomercial-ish, it changed my life.
Glad you liked the apron. Now go cook me something, woman.
- Linda said...
Mari: I have the apron hanging in my studio so I can look at it.
How did mat Pilates change your life?
- mari said...
Linda, Mat pilates changed my life when my friend Sharon, who has suffered from rhumatoid arthritis for most of her life told me about it. So I got Brooke Siler's The Pilates Body book, and couldn't believe what I was reading. So simple, yet, it made the whole mind-body connection very logical and tangible because the emphasis is on proper alignment and strengthening the core. I started taking classes with a retired ballet dancer who also is an expert at determining what each individual's weakness is, and because I spend so much time sitting at the computer, she found ways to help me open my hips and ease the discomfort in my lower back. Eventually I incorporated a lot of the Pilates principles into my daily life and movement and have found that I enjoy other things, like yoga and gardening and skiing so much more because I really know where the movement needs to originate from and how to protect myself better from injury. As much as I like yoga, I find that instructors often emphasize how you're feeling personally too much over what you're feeling physically. I think that if I'm feeling physically well, then my mind frees up much more and it's easier to do everything else.
Anyway, check out Siler's book. I think it's the best. And if you want to try some videos, I think Stott Pilates are the best. They seem too easy at first, but that's the thing about pilates; it feels easy but it's really not.
Hope this answers your question!
- Linda said...
Mari, thanks for this great info. I'm reserving Siler's book at the 'brary now.

The Sports Guy had his seasonal mailbag up today on espn.com and someone asked him about the manliest moments in sports. They felt that breaking a bat over your knee without flinching had to be up there. The Sports Guy then responded with his top five, including this little gem at number one:
"1. The time Johnny Bench kept getting shaken off by a pitcher who wanted to keep throwing fastballs, so he caught the next fastball with his throwing hand. That will never be topped. That was the sports equivalent of Dalton catching someone's punch at the Double Deuce, then twisting the guy's arm around and breaking his neck."
I am infinitely amused by this anecdote (less so with the comparison to "Road House," but hey, it's the Sports Guy. My question to the masses is this: (putting on Chris Farley attire) Mr. Johnny Bench, you know the time that you caught a guy's fastball with your bare hand? That was awesome! ...Is that true?
Johnny Bench is before my time, and shamefacedly I must admit that I don't know a ton about his career, let alone the fun baseball stories like that. For those of you that do know, please chime in on the veracity of this tale and share any others that callow "fans" like myself might not know. Also, if Bill Simmons were to comment on a diary about his own mailbag, well that would be super.

Dating Violence and Controllng Relationships On the Rise Among TeenagersBy Rhonda Miller | Published 09 Oct 2012 09:44pm |
Mississippi's weak economy and scarcity of jobs are stressful factors that can cause trouble in domestic relationships. And as MPB's Rhonda Miller reports, teenagers are not exempt.
At the Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence, community educator Rene Davis says a rise in economic stress often leads to an increase in violence in the community and in the home.
"What we're seeing more than anything else, here locally, after Katrina, with the economy, after the oil spill, is not just increases in the number of calls, but that people who do leave a violent situation and come into shelter are sometimes staying longer. It's harder for them to find a job and set up an independent safe family environment."
Davis says sometimes there's no physical abuse, but emotional abuse may also be domestic violence. She says those problems are showing up at younger ages.
"There is an increasing problem nationally with teen dating violence. With the Internet, people hear a whole lot about bullying, but they don't hear necessarily so much about controlling relationships that the teenagers are going through."
Davis says she's done training on domestic violence at South Mississippi schools, including Gulfport High School. Cindy Horn is a guidance counselor at Gulfport High.
"I think a lot of times girls don't come into us willing to talk about that kind of thing, because they don't even recognize it themselves at first. So they'll start off talking about a relationship and the attention they're getting, but they're not at the point of realizing that it's something that would be considered overly controlling."
Seventeen-year-old Gulfport High student Katelin Black says she saw a friend go through a troubling relationship.
"The boyfriend was older, first of all, and that he was really, really clingy and controllive and wouldn't let his girlfriend hang out with friends or anything, and had to know where she was constantly and he... turned out to be... dangerous."
According to the Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence, one-in-three teenagers, male and female, are affected by teen dating violence or controlling relationships.

This is the peak between Icebox and Pine Creek Canyons. The feature named on the topo map is not the highest point, 6761'. This makes it one of the highest points in Red Rocks (although not the highest).
Getting There
Reaching Bridge Mountain from Icebox Canyon itself is complicated and rugged, I have not done it. A few routes are rumored high up on the Pine Creek side, perhaps adventurous climbers will add these.

Bel Short Design & I are slowly getting things ready for the Penny Lane Market and getting stock ready for Christmas for the shops we supply. As usual these things take longer than planned as life gets in the way; for me it's the sailing gear business I've set up with my husband and for Bel it's been school work. I'm making steady progress on cushions and Bel finally has her Christmas card and gift tag designs ready for the printer.
It's the first time she's had her work professionally printed. Up until now we've just done short runs on our home printer. We're quite excited to see the results. We found a printer in Adelaide who uses vegetable based inks and we've ordered recycled paper stock and lovely, made in Australia, recycled envelopes.
Here's a sneaky look at mock ups of some of the cards.
I've made some more cushions with my tree design, haven't done these for a while, but I love playing around, mixing up the coloured leaves. This design was inspired by a picture in a Lauren Child book.

Panthers Lose Coin Toss, But Win In Draft Order
Charles Chandler and Darin Gantt reported the Panthers lost the coin toss with the Tennessee Titans to determine who would pick first in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. The Panthers lost, which means the pick they traded to San Francisco will fall back in the draft order. The order reverses itself after that in then 2nd round, which means the Panthers will pick earlier than they otherwise would have if they'd won the coin toss with Tennessee. So, the 49ers lost some ground (and will pick 17th instead of 16th). And the Panthers gained some ground (picking 47th instead of 48th).

Review: Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee, Singapore
Though you certainly wouldn't know it by walking past or even from reading the sign, Chye Seng Huat Hardware brews the best cuppa in Singapore. This retro-chic cafe roasts their own beans and has a coffee bar where you can sample their different blends and brewing methods.
Chye Seng Huat Hardware is the new flagship outlet of Papa Palheta specialty coffee (formerly located on Bukit Timah Road). The quirky name is an homage to the traditional trade of the neighbourhood, and you enter through a secret side gate with a "no parking" sign. Inside, the cafe has a minimalistic style with high ceilings, a U-shaped coffee bar and a handful of small tables perpetually occupied by hip 20-somethings tapping away at iDevices.
The coffee is served only in its purest form — espresso, espresso with milk, brewed coffee or iced coffee. The open lay-out allows you to watch the expert baristas at work, and the making of the daily brew (S$5) involves scales and thermometers to ensure the right ratio and water temperature. A sip confirms there is no need for flavoured syrups or whipped toppings, as the coffee is richly flavoured with no bitter aftertaste. As it is a coffee "bar", they also serve coffee-flavoured ale (S$7.50 a half pint).
One way that Chye Seng Huat Hardware is an improvement over the original Papa Palheta location is that they now serve food. You can enjoy your coffee with a gourmet sandwich (from S$10) or breakfast favourites like French toast with strawberries or blueberry pancakes (from S$7.50) available all day. They also offer freshly-baked goodies like croissants and cakes. We especially like the "When Barista Meets Baker" menu which pairs coffee and pastries for S$10.
Serious coffee connoisseurs should make a reservation for a coffee tasting at The Annex – a private room adjacent to the main cafe. For S$23 per person you get a three-course coffee and snacks session with a demonstration of experimental brewing methods. The coffee magic happens at 15:00 plus an additional 20:00 session Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
A taste of the coffee at Chye Seng Huat Hardware may make it impossible for you to go back to your usual brew; thankfully they sell bags of their in-house roasted coffee beans and coffee-making gadgets like drippers, grinders and espresso makers.
The only thing we don't love about Chye Seng Huat Hardware is how popular it is — expect to have to wait for a table on a weekend or, if you don't mind the heat, you can sit outdoors in the garden courtyard.

Nicole presents interesting, thoughtful materials for class. Sadly, in her first semester here her students had to go to the library a lot to photocopy her materials but maybe she has stopped doing this. She is a tough marker, assignments are good. The materials covered are awesome. I didn't get a great grade but I learned a lot.

The best part of Tuesday's game for the Danville Post 210 Speakers might be that it's over. That means they don't have to play another game until Saturday.
Hosting Urbana at Carl Gruber Sports Complex marked the fifth game for Danville in the last six days, and the fatigue was beginning to show. Tired arms and a few injuries had the Speakers longing for a day of rest, or at minimum, searching for a bit of relief.
But the last thing Urbana wanted to do was take it easy on a Danville team that, despite working through its share of adversity, has found a way to win games. It took extra innings, but the Speakers won their seventh game in the last eight tries in walk-off fashion.
Tied 7-7 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Danville's Austin Calhoun hit a fly ball to center. The Urbana outfielder lost the ball in the lights, and Calhoun landed on third for a one-out triple. The throw to the cutoff man was off the mark, though, and Calhoun scored easily to give the Speakers an 8-7 win in eight innings.
"We didn't expect it to happen that way, but we'll take it," Speakers manager Allan Shepherd said. "We'll take it how we can get it right now."
The Speakers trailed 4-0 after three innings, and were admittedly lacking the energy they needed to compete to their potential. It took a fourth-inning pep talk by Shepherd and a few base runners in the bottom of the fourth to spark the team to a five-run inning.
Kody Zumwalt, Jordan West, Hunter Krauel, Adam Depratt, Zack Girton, and Nik Shepherd all reached base to start the bottom of the fourth and scored three runs. Calhoun helped finish the scoring with a rule-book double to center that put two more on the board and gave Danville a 5-4 lead.
"Scoring that many runs in an inning gives (you) motivation and keeps you pumped about the game," Calhoun said. "Scoring five in one inning just really helped us a lot.
"That brought our spirits up a lot," he added. "We were pretty flat. After we scored five runs and coach gave us our pep talk, we were back in the game."
Urbana threatened in the top of the eighth and had two runners on with one out, but Austin West fielded a ground ball, stepped on third, and threw to first just in time to complete the inning-ending double play and prevent Urbana from taking the lead.
The resiliency of the Speakers is something that Shepherd said reminds him of last year's squad that finished third in the state tournament. The Speakers' ability to bounce back gives them the confidence that they can overcome any deficit, but Shepherd would rather stay free of the drama.
"That team's been this way," Shepherd said. "The thing I talked about in my postgame was, we can't give teams a head start like that. But it's good to see that they will battle back.
"The team I had last year was like that. They fought, they scrapped, they kept in the game, and this team is showing a lot of those signs, too. It's good early. I don't much like it late in the season."
Calhoun had a double in addition to his triple, Krauel also had two hits including a double, and Zumwalt, and Depratt each had one hit. Kraul, Depratt, Girton, and Nik Shepherd each drove in one run.
Danville used a total of four pitchers (Trevor Price, West, Girton) with Conner Jarling getting the win after throwing the final inning. Urbana's Jon Tauber entered the game in the sixth and held the Speakers scoreless with no hits and only two runners reaching on walks. Calhoun's walk-off in the eighth was the only hit and run Tauber allowed.
The only team to defeat the Speakers (8-3) this season is Rantoul. While Danville has now won seven of its last eight games, Shepherd is drawing much of his optimism from knowing he has still not seen his full roster play together at once.
"The competition goes up from here, but the pitching is going to get healthy," Shepherd said. "I still haven't had a complete team yet. Our starting third baseman is out with a broken hand, I've got a kid on a cruise, and my starting second baseman wasn't here tonight. When I get a complete team, I think we're going to be really good. They're starting to jell."

The combination of peas or beans and cornbread is so satisfying there are even songs written about it.
Jordan Louis wrote "Beans and Cornbread" in 1949 and much later the Carolina Chocolate Drops wrote "Cornbread and Butter Beans."
How many food combinations have their own songs?
The basic ingredient for the Southern masterpiece, corn, comes to us from the Native Americans. Peas and beans are grown around the world, but are also part of the Native American Three Sisters trilogy (corn, beans and squash), that are basic to that culinary tradition.
The Native Americans certainly had many recipes for fresh and dried corn, but European settlers who moved to the South had a go at making bread with dried, ground corn. From that we have spoon bread, hoe cake and hushpuppies, but no other corn meal-inspired dish is as popular as cornbread.
There are thousands of varieties of beans around the world, but a double handful are generally paired with cornbread in the South; black eyed peas, lima beans, butter beans, field peas, crowder peas, purple hull peas and pinto beans.
It is a point of some contention, and certainly purests will shudder at the thought, but you do not have to make beans from scratch for good results. Canned beans are quite good and only require that you wash off the goop (it contains way too much salt) and they are then ready to warm and serve. The prudent cook might want to sauté some onion and garlic, along with black pepper and red pepper
flakes, and then add some stock and a bit of ham, simmer for 30 minutes and then add the rinsed beans. It is a good shortcut to keep in mind.
If it has been a while since you treated your family to a supper of cornbread and beans, then the cool weather that is surely almost upon us just might convince you that now's the time to revive this great Southern comfort food.
3/4 cup self rising flour
3/4 cup corn meal
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix all of the dry ingredients and then add the buttermilk and eggs, mix again. Pour into a hot skillet and bake for about 20 minutes. If you are not counting calories add several tablespoons of bacon grease to the pan and heat till its smoking, then add the mixture and bake.
When done correctly, this recipe is more of a stew than just a side dish. Use what vegetables and pork-like-something you like best and season aggressively.
16 ounces dried black-eyed peas
3 cups water
3 cups chicken stock
1 chopped onion
1 small chopped bell pepper
6-8 (1-inch) cubes of pumpkin
3-4 chopped cloves of garlic
2 cups smoked ham, cut into bite size cubes
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped jalapeno pepper is optional
Wash the beans and soak in water overnight. Take the beans out of the refrigerators an hour before you are ready to cook, drain and allow to come to room temperature. Sauté the cubed ham in oil, remembering to season with black pepper and red pepper flakes, until they start to take on color and become fragrant, remove and set aside. Add the onion and bell pepper to the same pan, add more oil if necessary, and cook for 6 minutes, add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Now add the beans, stock and water to a large, deep pot and simmer until tender, about one and one half hour. Add the pumpkin 10 minutes before the beans are ready. Remember to taste every once in a while and re-season as necessary.
1 pound dried black-eyed peas
1 chopped onion
2 bay leaves
1 diced jalapeño
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Black pepper
Soak the beans in water overnight. Drain the peas, cover with water by about 3 inches and add the onion, bay leaf and jalapeño and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 40 minutes, or until they are tender. When they are done, drain and spread out of a kitchen towel to dry (if you want to hurry up the process put a small fan on them). Heat oil in a large sauté pan to about 375 degrees and fry the beans until crispy, it shouldn't take long, 3-4 minutes should do it. Season with Tony's and black pepper and serve hot.
Nothing goes better with cornbread and beans than an Old South chow-chow. Its quick and easy to make and keeps forever in the refrigerator. Some people call this chili sauce, but whatever the name it is really good.
1 large can whole tomatoes
1 chopped onion
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1-2 cloves
1-2 hot peppers
Combine all the ingredients and simmer until thick and the juice cooks down. Stir constantly so that it does not burn. When cool put in a sealable jar and refrigerate until ready to use.

Striker Wright back at Harriers
Updated 10:16am Tuesday 11th March 2014 in Sport
THE transformation at Kidderminster Harriers under new manager Gary Whild continues apace with striker Nick Wright returning to the club until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old, who scored 25 goals for Harriers between the summers of 2010 and 2012, has joined on loan from Skrill Premier rivals Lincoln City.
Wright, who joined Mansfield Town after leaving Aggborough, could be involved in tonight's home match against Macclesfield Town (7.45pm).
He is the second player to link-up with Harriers since Whild replaced Andy Thorn as boss, with versatile left-sided player Amari'i Bell signing on a youth loan from Birmingham City last week.
Whild has also recruited ex-England keeper Tim Flowers and former Harriers captain Mark Creighton into his backroom staff.
Harriers are seeking to get themselves back on track following a turbulent few weeks that has seen the club change manager twice and drop down the table to 10th.
With 12 games to go, Whild will be hoping Wright can help fire Kidderminster back into the play-off picture.
During his previous stint with the club, he achieved hero status by scoring a 10-minute hat-trick as Harriers came from two goals down to beat Newport County 3-2 at Aggborough in April 2012.
Wright has managed just two goals for the Imps this term, including in Lincoln's 4-1 defeat at Kidderminster in October.
He also scored in a 4-1 victory over Alfreton Town but has not featured at Sincil Bank since Lincoln's 4-0 defeat to North Ferriby United in the FA Trophy on January 11.
Wright has previously been on the books at Tamworth as well as having loan spells at Northampton and Bristol City.
For a preview of Harriers versus Macclesfield, turn to page 38.

So last night a major storm hit Toronto which caused a slew of floods primarily in the GTA area. Apparently this storm is one of the worst we've gotten since 2008, pulling a few centimetres that broke records set since then. And personally speaking, I dont think it was the rain that caused the floods. Lets get real, the rain wasn't bad. We have had worse, even this year. What I think caused the floods were the sewer systems. But, hey that's just me.
Check out the pictures above to recap on last nights misfortunes, blackouts, and shark attacks
that shark scared the crap out of me

ABSOLUT announces the launch of ABSOLUT ELYX, a vodka of real substance that honours the roots of Swedish spirit-making traditionbottle at the Duty Free Store at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), Mumbai. Manually distilled in a copper column still from 1929, and made from a single harvest of Swedish winter wheat, ABSOLUT ELYX is the result of century-old expertise, passed down through generations of Swedish vodka makers.
"We wanted to express a new vision on vodka making, by capturing and refining the very best of our distinguished heritage. We sourced the finest natural ingredients, revitalized traditional skills and know-how, and most importantly – we reactivated our 1929 copper column still," says KristerAsplund, Vice President Operations at The Absolut Company. "Our hand-operated copper distillation defines the natural pure taste of ABSOLUT ELYX."
ABSOLUT ELYX is recognized by its character and elegance. Its nose is plentiful with subtle, floral and fruity tones. The palate is fresh, pure and invigorating, with a silky texture, a long-lasting smooth finish, and a subtle spiciness. ABSOLUT ELYX is best enjoyed neat or on the rock. It is also perfect in martinis and classic cocktails where its purity and texture shine through.
"When developing ABSOLUT ELYX we looked back to find a vision for the future. This is evident in the ABSOLUT ELYX bottle, which is a squared version of the original ABSOLUT VODKA bottle silhouette. The copper detailing and the clarity of the design reflect both the manual copper distillation and the natural purity of ABSOLUT ELYX," says Mark Hamilton, Global Marketing Director at The Absolut Company.
Copper Distillation for a Natural Pure Taste
Each batch of ABSOLUT ELYX is produced in a hand-operated still from 1929, with columns, pumps and hand-forged pipes made of copper. This vintage still plays an integral part in the making of ABSOLUT ELYX, since it fully makes use of copper's exceptional and natural purifying qualities. Copper distillation is the natural way to remove any impurities in vodka, and refined copper distillation is what gives ABSOLUT ELYX its natural pure taste and unique silky texture.
A Handcrafted Vodka
With no computers involved in the copper distillation, ABSOLUT ELYX is the result of genuine craftsmanship and manual operation in every detail of the process. The old 1929 copper column still is only operated by a selected few, who inherited their knowledge and expertise from past generations of spirit and vodka makers. Made to the uncompromising standards of the skilled craftsmen, every batch of ABSOLUT ELYX is carefully tasted and approved before it is bottled.
Natural Ingredients
ABSOLUT ELYX is a single-batch vodka, made from natural ingredients. Every part of the production, from the planting of the first seed, all the way through distillation and bottling, is performed within a 25 km radius in the Åhus region of Southern Sweden. This makes ABSOLUT ELYX 100% traceable. The water comes from the natural underground spring, upon which the copper distillery rests. Filtered though the limestone bedrock, the water is exceptionally pure, low in minerals and incredibly soft.
ABSOLUT ELYX will be available at DFS, Mumbai from June '12 onwards.

Oxherding in the Korea TimesThings have been tense on the Korean Peninsula lately, with crowds in Seoul today calling for revenge against the north for the sinking of the Cheonan, a South Korean naval vessel. But readers of the Korean Times awoke this morning to the 10 Oxherding Pictures, the classic Zen (in Korean, Soen) series that depicts the practitioner's progress toward enlightenment—a nice antidote to the recent hostilities, or a least a welcome if momentary reprieve.

Dick Allen Reads Poetry For The Tricycle CommunityFive recordings of the great Buddhist poet Dick Allen are now available on the homepage of the Tricycle Community. They are: "Zen Living", "The American Zen Master", "At the Shrine of the Lost Cause", "Plum", and "Meditation on Poems for the Nine Monks". I had the tremendous privilege of getting to record this audio over the phone with Mr. Allen earlier this year. A massive snowstorm was bombarding New York City and I remember hanging on to his every word and phrase, completely losing track of time and space as I gazed out of our office window at giant snowflakes falling past the bricks and fire escapes of Tribeca. It was quite an experience. I am very happy to share them with you all now. They can be found here on the Tricycle Community homepage. More »

Program is canceled - the other possibility to participate in Mudra will be in Poland in Spring 2014
Mudra Space Awareness Practice Mudra is a physical training designed by Trungpa Rinpoche as a practice for working skillfully with space and with other people. We can experience reality fully and precisely only when we meet space on its own terms. Mudra exercises are designed so that Western students, living under the pressures of performance and every day life, can meet these challenges with body, speech and mind. Mudra training will heighten sensitivity to the interplay of form and space and develop awareness and skills of communication.
Maitri Space Awareness Practice This practice, also developed by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, is based on the traditional Buddhist teachings of the five buddha families and other elements of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. In this practice we look more closely into the patterns of energy arising in space, both in their sane and confused ways.
Bringing both practices together in one program gives us the opportunity to see the intermingling quality of energy and space, how this manifests in our daily life and how to see this continuum with appreciation and clarity.

Elite Styling
Your Under The Dryer team is at the newly opened Central Plaza-located Elite Beauty salon. The interior is impressive and inviting with its brightly coloured modern décor. We take you inside for an exclusive peek and share the skills of the stylists and barber.
Clients: Tameka Kildare, Mark Ward, Anasha Williams and Ryan McMorris.
A Mixture of Flips
Tameka Kildare, student styled by Andrienne Francis
The debate continues amongst stylists about the use of a single hair product line to style and treat their clients. Francis insists that it's okay to mix products as the needs of each client are very different and are sometimes not fulfilled by using the entire product line of a single brand. Kildare's hair, for example, was extremely dry and needed products that were high in moisture.
• Relax the hair with Affirm Conditioning Creme Relaxer with Protecto.
• Balance the hair's natural pH by cleansing it with Creme of Nature Neutralizing & Conditioning Shampoo.
• Nourish and further replenish the hair with Creme of Nature Neutralizing Conditioner.
• Cleanse the hair with Creme of Nature Argan Oil Moisture and Shine Shampoo.
• Mist the hair with Creme of Nature Argan Oil Strength and Shine Leave-In Conditioner, then flat-wrap with the assistance of a paddle brush.
• Sit under the dryer until the hair dries completely.
• Add rows of blond, brown and red hair extensions to the front of the hair.
• Style the hair by using a curling iron.
Stylist's contact information: 455-1277
Razor Sharp
Though 'the fade' has been around for decades, this trend is still a musthave for most men. With an experienced barber like Paul, you will be sure to get a textbook quality look.
Curls Galore
Anasha Williams, after-care teacher styled by Yvonne Belnavis
For the woman who doesn't mind treating herself to a weekly visit to the salon, relaxed hair with playful flips is an ideal choice. This hairdo has a firm hold so she would only need to tease the curls to rejuvenate the look in the morning.
Will the heat from the iron damage my hair?
Curling your hair every morning can cause damage by making it brittle or dry. Using a ceramic flat iron may lessen the effects rather than the Marcel curling irons. However, be sure to give your hair a break from the heat every once in a while and protect it with humidity-blocking hair products.
• Process the new growth with Optimum Care Salon Collection Relaxer — Super.
• Balance the natural pH of the hair by applying Optimum Opti Neutralizing Shampoo and Conditioner as directed.
• Cleanse the hair with TRESemmé Silk Protein Healthy Volume Shampoo.
• Apply TRESemmé Vitamin E Moisture Rich Conditioner to the hair.
• Mist the hair with Optimum Care Oil Therapy and Optimum Advanced High Gloss Spray.
• Flat-wrap the hair.
• Sit under the dryer.
• Use curling iron to apply flips to the hair.
• Mist with Optimum Advanced Flexible Holding Spray.

Locked And Ready to Go
Mark Ward, entertainer styled by Nardia McFarlane
Finding the right stylist while touring has proven to be a tedious task for Ward. "It wasn't a difficult decision to make, four-and-a-half years ago, to get locks as it is very easy for me to maintain with my busy schedule," shared Ward.
Hair Condition:
Ward's hair has not been interlocked in almost three months, so McFarlane opted for the interlocking method rather than palm rolling the hair.
How do I know if locks are for me?
If you have always admired natural hairstyles and their versatility, Sisterlocks is something you have probably considered at some point. Before making any drastic decisions, it is probably best to consult a natural hair expert or an experienced loctician to explore your options. This expert will not only ensure that you are emotionally ready for the commitment but will give you the rundown on how to select the size of each lock and how to care for your new look. If you want to test it out or do not want to wait months for it to get to your desired length, you may try applying lock extensions, rather than growing it from scratch.
• Cleanse the hair with Creme of Nature Argan Oil Moisture and Shine Shampoo.
• Replenish the hair by applying Creme of Nature Argan Oil Strength and Shine Leave-In Conditioner.
• Apply Jamaican Mango & Lime Lock Gro lightly to the roots.
• Interlock the roots with an interlock needle.
• Use Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Edge Control to control fuzz.

LOGANVILLE (WKOW) -- The Sauk County Sheriff's Office confirmed to 27 News Friday that woman killed in Thursday's apartment fire in Loganville was 70-year-old Katherine Pierce.
The fire started in a four-unit apartment building on South Main Street. Loganville Fire Chief Kent Westphal said the source of the fire may have been a recliner in Pierce's apartment, but the cause is still the subject of investigation.
LOGANVILLE (WKOW) -- Authorities said a fire in Loganville's downtown Thursday claimed one life, as apartment tenants scurried to safety from flames and smoke, in their old building.
Friends identified the victim to 27 News as 70-year old Katherine "Kay" Pierce.
Loganville Fire Chief Kent Westphal said firefighters' search and rescue efforts were hindered by thick smoke in the building at 55 South Main Street.
Tenant James Johnston told 27 News a bystander also tried to get into Pierce's apartment, but was also thwarted by the smoke.
Westphal said the fire's cause is still under investigation, but said the source of the fire in the four unit apartment building may have been a recliner in Pierce's apartment.
Jim Howell owns Aunt Ozie's Cafe, across the street from the fire scene. Howell told 27 News he brought Pierce dinner every night, and worried about her smoking, and burning of candles in her cluttered apartment.
Howell said Pierce would occasionally call to summon him with her favorite dessert, a chocolate milk shake.
"There was a really loveable streak about her," Howell told 27 News.
Other friends say Pierce used a walker, and spent most days in the spring and summer on the porch in front of her ground floor apartment, serving as Loganville's unofficial greeter.
Westphal said the building was a total loss as a result of the fire.
LOGANVILLE (WKOW) -- The Sauk County Sheriff's Communications Center was notified of a structure fire on Walnut Street Thursday morning.
Initial reports were of one occupant being trapped in a downstairs apartment. Loganville Fire and Sauk County Sheriff's were dispatched to the scene. The building is a two story, four unit apartment building.
Responding units found heavy fire inside. Mutual aid was requested from Hillpoint, Reedsburg, LaValle, and Plain Fire Departments. Ambulances from Reedsburg,Plain and Baraboo also responded.
The building housed four single tenants. One was unable to escape the fire and was pronounced dead at the scene by Sauk County Coroner, Greg Hahn. No other injuries were reported, however, they are all displaced.
Highway 23 at Highway 154 remained closed, in both directions, for most of the day.
The fire remains under investigation.
LOGANVILLE (WKOW) -- The Sauk County Sheriff's Office received a call of a small apartment building on fire shortly before 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
Along with the sheriff's office, five fire departments and three ambulance units responded to the fire, near Highway 23 in Loganville.
Authorities say one person was found dead inside the building, but no other information about injuries or the cause are being released at this time.
The building will likely be a total loss.

Richard Bible, convicted in the murder of 9 year old Jennifer Wilson of Yuma, has been put to death in Florence, Arizona.
KSWT News 13's Jennifer Jones was one of only 5 journalists from across the country selected to witness his execution.
17 members of the Wilson family were also present during the execution, including her parents and two brothers.
Bible had been allowed 5 witnesses from his family and friends, but chose to only have 2 of his attorneys present.
Jennifer Jones tells us one of Wilson's brothers cried throughout the procedure, which began at 11:02 AM.
Wilson's other brother embraced his father, who held hands with Wilson's mother.
According to Jennifer Jones, Bible seemed frightened when he was brought into the death chamber, and swallowed repeatedly throughout his final words, which were "Thank you to my family and my lawyers. I love you all. Everything's ok."
Once the injection was administered, Bible continued to swallow hard, and his right arm twitched and moved several times before he was pronounced dead.
After Bible died, Jennifer Wilson's father addressed the media, thanking everyone for their support, and thanking the Arizona department of corrections, saying he felt justice had finally been served.
