Comments delivered by Dirkie Smit (Stellenbosch University, South Africa) during an after dinner talk at the Karl Barth conference held at Princeton Theological Seminary in June of 2006.
"The generation to which I belong was, theologically speaking, dominated by Karl Barth… He was undoubtedly the greatest theologian of our age" – with these words, Willie Jonker, without doubt one of the greatest South African theologians of the past century, described the enormous influence of Barth in South Africa.
This does not, of course, mean that he was always appreciated. He was extremely controversial and his theology was at the heart of most of the major ecclesial, theological and public conflicts of twentieth century South Africa. To different people, he was important for different reasons.
Seeing that it should be in after dinner recollection-and-gossip-style, I promised to keep this talk anecdotal rather than reflective, and so I will only briefly recall five memories to illustrate some of the complexity and ambiguity of Barth's reception in South Africa. I even found some material in the Princeton Theological Seminary library to associate with each of these five recollections and to share with you.
Barth was regarded by many church and theological leaders as the most dangerous and misleading theological voice of all. In the very influential Theological Seminary of Stellenbosch his work was almost forbidden literature. This radical opposition against Barth came primarily from neo-Calvinist circles in South Africa, themselves deeply influenced by similar positions, viewpoints and theological figures at the time in the Netherlands. At stake was precisely the authority of Scripture and the question how to properly read Scripture theologically.
In 1963, the Stellenbosch theologian F. J. M. Potgieter gave the public lecture during the opening of the Stellenbosch Faculty radically rejecting Barth's view of Scripture. It was later published in the local theological journal and again as a separate booklet, in which form it was prescribed material for successive generations of Stellenbosch theological students, warning them not to read Barth at all.
In his own autobiography, the widely respected systematic theologian Jaap Durand would later remember that "Karl Barth was seen as, perhaps not quite the most important heretic of the twentieth century, but he came a close second to Rudolf Bultmann."
In practice, the warning did not have the necessary effect on some of the more theologically interested students, and many future theologians, like Jaap Durand himself, recall how they read Barth secretly, often under the desk in class, while the professors were dictating their lectures, and how they eagerly awaited the publication of each new volume of the Church Dogmatics.
Still, a whole generation of ministers would serve in the so-called white Reformed Churches for whom the name Barth – although they knew nothing more about him – stood for the living heresy of not respecting Scripture as the Word of God.
There were others in the Reformed churches who keenly read Barth's theology but did not understand or share its ethical, social and political thrust at all – as if the ethical parts did not belong integrally to the content of the Church Dogmatics, as if his work on the Reformed confessions in the 1920s did not stress the role of ethics and the Christian life, as if Barmen had nothing to do with Barth's thought at all.
In the Hervormde Kerk, a self-consciously volkskerk, with close historical and theological ties with the Dutchvolkskerk and with a church order that until recently explicitly excluded people from different racial background, the doctrinal theology of Barth was quite popular.
In the Dutch Reformed theological Faculty of Pretoria, A. B. du Preez, Potgieter's counterpart in dogmatic theology, read the Church Dogmatics systematically with all his students, but he also supported the influential secret organization called the Broederbond and he strongly defended apartheid theologically, e.g. in a small brochure called Die Skriftuurlike Grondslag vir rasseverhoudinge (1955) and later in an extensive theological argument Inside the South African crucible (1959), in which Barth plays only a small role in two footnotes and Scripture almost not at all. He concluded this defense of apartheid, especially against the theological critique coming from the ecumenical church, with a prayer of Zwingli: "May God grant that the Divine Word may be preached faithfully amongst you; with it you will preserve your Fatherland, even if it should grieve the devil; for where there is piety, there is the help of God."
There were some who gradually realized that it is impossible to study and share Barth's theology while ignoring the moral ontology it implied, that it was impossible to inhabit the strange new world of the Bible theologically, without simultaneously hearing the claim of this strange new world on our lives, churches and public life.
Nico Smith, a well-known missiologist likes to tell his own story. He studied with Du Preez and had the highest regard for Barth. He also believed in and supported apartheid, he wrote a doctoral thesis in missiology defending the existence of separate ethnic churches, he was invited and joined as member of the Broederbond and he was called to the Stellenbosch Faculty to teach missiology ahead of candidates like Jaap Durand and David Bosch, in what was widely seen as a Broederbond-influenced appointment.
As a young minister, he organized an opportunity to visit Barth's house, for a personal interview. At the end of the interview, after all his questions to Barth, the old man asked whether he could also ask one question, and then he asked Nico Smith whether he was free to preach the gospel, even when it contradicts public opinion, ideology and policies. At first he did not understand the question, and assured Barth that it could never happen, because there was nothing wrong with public opinion and national policy. But Barth insisted, asking what would happen if one day, perhaps, he would find that the gospel was indeed critical of what everyone around him, including his friends and family, believe? He replied that he would of course be free to proclaim the gospel, in such a situation, but repeated that it was highly improbable – but he left with a feeling of unease, he says, a feeling that stayed with him on the bus, and during the rest of his trip and in a way for the rest of his life. The question never left him, and many years later, when he publicly resigned from the Broederbond and from the Faculty to become a township minister of the black Reformed Church in Africa, it was still Barth's question about freedom to proclaim the gospel that haunted him, he often recounts:
Three times Barth had asked him, 'Are you free?' As he turned the conversation over in his mind Nico found himself thinking of the conversation Jesus had had with Simon Peter on the beach, after his resurrection.
In the meanwhile, many others were reading Barth intensely and they were reading Scripture theologically, in ways inspired by Barth – people like Willie Jonker himself and Jaap Durand, who were influenced by Berkouwer, like several others, David Bosch, who studied in Basel with Cullmann and was following Barth in fundamental ways, Takatso Mofokeng, who studied with Gerrit Neven in Kampen, Douglas Bax, who studied here in Princeton, but also John de Gruchy and Russel Botman, who both studied in South Africa, as well as many others.
What did they learn from Barth? Jonker's recollections are helpful. To him and his generation, he says, Barth's theology "was a cause of joy." Why? Because it so clearly had a message, something to say, to proclaim, something negative and sharply critical of the world in which they lived, of the hubris of modern humanity and especially of religious humanity, of the theology of the day, of Christianity as social phenomenon and of the church, but this criticism obviously was the result of "the positive contents of his message about love and grace, the majesty and power of the living God about whose triumph over all the powers of sin and death Barth obviously had no shadow of doubt."
The content of this joyful message was, of course, Jesus Christ. "Barth could speak about Christ in such a way that one could not help becoming enthusiastic about Him and the gospel of which He is the content." This message was a message of joy, God is a word of joy, the gospel is proclamation of joy, theology is a cause for joy, and even Barth's own personal joyfulness struck many of those who met him.
(We) heard his central message about the grace of God, his stress on the objectivity of our salvation in Christ, and his radical rejection of neo-protestant subjectivism. Somehow Barth could formulate the crucial issues of evangelical faith in such a surprisingly new and convincing way, that we experienced it as a new dawn for Biblical theology. He obviously had so much pleasure in his explication of the gospel, that we believed him when he said that theology was a cause for joy. Those of us who had the opportunity to meet him were struck by his happiness and positive attitude towards life. There seemed to be no tension between his theology and his life. He succeeded in giving a joyous sound to the word 'God', helping us to understand that God is not only love, but also joy.
At the same time, however, according to Jonker, it was the critical element in Barth's theology that touched them in a special way. Why? Because they recognized that they were struggling in their own South African circles with variations of the same forms of natural theology and religious familiarity which Barth attacked so fiercely with his critical "no."
The complacency of the church, the self-satisfaction of some forms of neo-calvinist theology with which we were acquainted, the shallow moralism of Christianity as a whole, the self-deception of the pietistic, Arminian and Methodist preoccupation with personal holiness and perfection with which we were perpetually confronted within our circles – these were the things for which Barth opened our eyes.
Therefore, over against all self-confident theology, ecclesiology and moralism built on anthropology, on volk, on orders of creation and on interpretations of history, and over against all familiarity with God built on subjective spirituality and religious feelings and experience, they were inspired by Barth's theology of the Word. For them, this radical re-thinking of evangelical theology and this joyous news of the triumph of God's grace in Jesus Christ, was the really influential and controversial claim. For them, Barth offered a radical alternative to precisely the two popular and pervasive portrayals of the Christian faith in their own context, namely natural theology and subjectivist religiosity.
I remember Jonker telling us that the books in his study which he read most often, were the small print exegetical sections in the Church Dogmatics. There he would often find the inspiration for his own inspiring preaching, over many decades. I remember for example many sermons on the rich young man who did not see his way open to follow Jesus' call, and many sermons on the splangnizomai of the synoptics, how Jesus' was inwardly moved with compassion at the sight of human suffering and misery.
I also remember a day in Jonker's sitting-room, visiting with Allan Boesak and an American editor of a church journal, for an interview. Why was he not more explicit and direct in his political critique?, Jonker was asked. Because he sincerely believed that the theology he was teaching a new generation of ministers would change church and society from within, he responded, by which he meant reading and proclaiming Scripture Christologically, no longer in terms of nation and culture. It was as if Barth himself was speaking, assuring us of the power of the truth of the gospel.
Over decades, Jonker and Durand published a series of systematic theological works called Wegwysers in die Dogmatiek in which Barth was clearly the principal discussion partner. This was without doubt the most serious and sustained reception of Barth in South African scholarly and church circles. Of course, these changes took time. Jonker told the story of these slow and painful changes in his moving autobiographical account, Selfs die kerk kan verander.
In South Africa, Barth's influence was in fact more pervasive in church circles and in public life than in academic, scholarly theology. His work indirectly inspired and still touches many people who may never have heard his name or know nothing about him. It was in a way more a kind of barthian theology, his wirkungsgeschichte, the impact of his life and work in the German Church Struggle, in the Confessing Church, in Barmen, together with the impact of the life and work of Bonhoeffer that had this enormous impact, than merely his scholarly work as such.
This was clearly illustrated in the volume of essays On reading Karl Barth in South Africa published in 1988. Here, several people were writing who had perhaps never before seriously read and studied Barth himself, but who were inspired by Paul Lehmann – like Allan Boesak – or by Beyers Naudé and the work of his Christian Institute, who very consciously stood in the tradition of the Confessing Church. "I have often recognized in Barth's writings a strangely contemporary ring," Allan Boesak would write, expressing this sense of immediacy and relevance when Barth was read in the South African reality over many decades.
In the circles of black theology, for example, the well-known Itumeleng Mosala at the time openly attacked theologians like Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Allan Boesak for reading Scriptures as the Word of God. Mosala himself very deliberately and explicitly, almost cynically, used the Bible for ulterior ideological and political purposes, but simply because the so-called masses in the churches (still) believed the Bible, while he personally rejected any notion of the Word of God. Tutu, Boesak and many others were not moved at all by this criticism.
For the black Reformed churches the Bible was the Word of God and the message of this gospel as they heard it, about the unity of the church, the reconciliation in Jesus Christ and God's compassionate justice for those in need contradicted the theology justifying apartheid on Biblical principles.
When the black Dutch Reformed Mission Church decided in 1982 to declare a state of confession, following the decision of the WARC in Ottawa, thereby claiming that the truth of the gospel itself was at stake, someone read in Synod from Barth's discussion of a status confessionis and a moment of confession in the life of the church in the Church Dogmatics. The seriousness of Barth's words led to moments of total silence in the synod meeting in the Belhar township, and then it was proposed that, in the light of what Barth says, the Church should draft a new confession, which became the Confession of Belhar.
In short, Barth was extremely influential in South African church and society, but not because everyone appreciated him. Different people responded in different ways.
For some he was important as probably the most dangerous living heretic. For some he was an inspiring theologian, but with no consequences for life in church or society. For some he presented a challenge to their conscience, their loyalties, their practices. For some he proclaimed the joyous gospel of God's wonderful "yes," but implied in that also a radical "no" over against powerful assumptions in church and society, that moved them to witness and action. For some, he changed their lives in dramatic ways, although they have perhaps never heard his name, a form of reception that is still continuing, but that is another story.
It should be clear that, in all of these diverse receptions, what was ultimately at stake in South Africa was the way we see and read Scripture, theologically.

Combine Castle Country beauty with some trail and walking path maps and you have a recipe to relieve stress, enjoy the community, and improve personal wellness. The only remaining ingredient is you. Get up early, stay up late, or take a mid-day break and pedal, walk, or run any of the many local trails and pathways in our area. Many people have cooperated to measure and then map trails and pathways in and around our community that include varied distances and difficulty. There are paths that highlight the USU/CEU campus, parks and playgrounds, local history, the Helper parkway, trails on Wood Hill and many more. Development is under way for an exciting new 1.3 mile trail along the Price River between Carbon Avenue and 100 North. Many of the pathway maps can be viewed and downloaded from the Partners for Community Wellness website: http://wellness.carbon.utah.gov or the Price City website: http://www.priceutah.net .
Additionally, each summer the community can participate in an organized event called Community Walks. Participants can register for this self-paced, summer-long walking event in Room 103 of Price City Hall. Participants that complete community walks will receive a completion gift, coupon pack, and a free swim pass.
Walking is a gentle, low-impact exercise that can ease you into a higher level of fitness and health. Walking is one of your body's most natural forms of exercise. Richard Weil, MEd, CDE, an exercise physiologist, Certified Diabetes Educator, and director of the New York Obesity Research Center Weight Loss Program provides the following top ten reasons to walk:
*Walking prevents type two diabetes. Walking 150 minutes per week and losing just 7 percent of your body weight (12-15 pounds) can reduce your risk of diabetes by 58 percent.
*Walking strengthens your heart if you're male. In one study, mortality rates among retired men who walked less than one mile per day were nearly twice that among those who walked more than two miles per day.
*Walking strengthens your heart if you're female. Women in the Nurse's Health Study (72,488 female nurses) who walked three hours or more per week reduced their risk of a heart attack or other coronary event by 35 percent compared with women who did not walk.
*Walking is good for your brain. In a study on walking and cognitive function, researchers found that women who walked the equivalent of an easy pace at least 1.5 hours per week had significantly better cognitive function and less cognitive decline than women who walked less than 40 minutes per week.
*Walking is good for your bones. Research shows that postmenopausal women who walk approximately one mile each day have higher whole-body bone density than women who walk shorter distances, and walking is also effective in slowing the rate of bone loss from the legs.
*Walking helps alleviate symptoms of depression. Walking for 30 minutes, three to five times per week for 12 weeks, reduced symptoms of depression as measured with a standard depression questionnaire by 47 percent.
*Walking reduces the risk of breast and colon cancer. Women who performed the equivalent of one hour and 15 minutes to two and a half hours per week of brisk walking had an 18 percent decreased risk of breast cancer compared with inactive women. Many studies have shown that exercise can prevent colon cancer, and even if an individual person develops colon cancer, the benefits of exercise appear to continue both by increasing quality of life and reducing mortality.
*Walking improves fitness. Walking just three times a week for 30 minutes can significantly increase cardio respiratory fitness.
*Walking in short bouts improves fitness, too! A study of sedentary women showed that short bouts of brisk walking (three 10-minute walks per day) resulted in similar improvements in fitness and were at least as effective in decreasing body fatness as long bouts (one 30-minute walk per day).
*Walking improves physical function. Research shows that walking improves fitness and physical function and prevents physical disability in older persons.

According to the Official Royal Wedding web site, the couple, who departed via helicopter, are not heading out on their honeymoon... yet:
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen not to depart for a honeymoon immediately. Instead, after spending the weekend privately in the United Kingdom, The Duke will return to work as a Search and Rescue pilot next week. The locations of both their private weekend before The Duke returns to work and their future honeymoon, which will be overseas, will not be disclosed in advance. The Couple have asked that their privacy be respected during the coming weekend and during their honeymoon."
There are rumors that their weekend trip will likely be to a royal residence in Scotland, possibly Balmoral.
The duchess wore a pleated blue dress with skinny black belt paired with a collarless jacket and wedges, while William sported a pale blue button-down and navy jacket with khakis.
Palace staff reportedly carried out their luggage, which included a bouquet of white flowers.

The top four of the stories below revolve around a child and all are from the perspective of a clvilan (I think!)....Summer of '42The Human ComedySummer Of My German SoldierSarah's KeyThe End of The AffairThe Remains Of The DayThe Secret of Santa Vittoria (italian civilians vs german army)Shining ThroughThe English PatientCallie, I had to re-order Caleb's Crossing. I somehow missed the pick-up notice from the library issued many weeks ago.I finished People Of The Book. I didn't read everyone's story. Came away with the same sentiments as with Years Of Wonders; aspects of magnificence coupled with some eye-rolling moments.I also ordered In My Time (Dick Cheney). I certainly have my issues with the man, but he is a complex character who has had a remarkable life -- and lived his finest moments on the morning of 9/11.

I'm reading The Tin Drum right now and that is set mostly during WWII (at least what I've read so far). The lead character is a child and sort-of a child, as he decides at age 3 that he's not going to grow anymore.
There's also Snow Falling on Cedars which talks about the impact of Japanese internment on a small northwestern town. Snow I've read, but I found two other novels on that topic that I haven't read: Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet (Jamie Ford) and Tallgrass (Sandra Dallas).
Back to ones I've read: A Pale View of Hills and An Artist of the Floating World both by Kazuo Ishiguro, one of my mom's favorite authors -- I think her favorite was the first one and mine was the second.
I just found this web site that has a lot of good suggestions:
From this list, I thought The Postmistress looked good, and also The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon has been on my get-around-to-read list for a long time.
Okay, since we all thought of The Diary of Anne Frank for this one, how about a topic related to diaries -- either a real-life published diary or a fictional diary or a book where a diary plays a prominent part in the story?

I know we did novels in letter form, but what I was thinking about for diary books was Michael Palin's Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years which I've read and enjoyed. He has a new one out: Halfway to Hollywood: 1980 - 1988 which is on my to-read list. Palin has always kept a journal and apparently he had to edit heavily to get the first book down to under 1000 pages.
In kids' books, The Diary of Wimpy Kid comes to mind -- especially since I just had to order the 5th in the series for my son.
There's also:
The Diaries of Adam and Eve and Other Stories -- Mark Twain
The Diary of a Nobody -- George Grossmith
I don't remember if I've read the Twain -- I'd thought I'd read everything he'd written, and I used to be hugely into short stories, so I'm not sure how I could have missed this. The Grossmith book looks very much up my alley. Sounds a bit like a cross between The Pickwick Papers and Jeeves and Wooster.

posted at 5/20/2012 11:23 AM EDTWow, a lot of time has gone by! Talking about this yesterday made me want to bump it. I got a lot of great ideas about summer reading from here. Wesley the Owl is still a favorite! I just started Catch Me by Lisa Gardener (love her, I know I'm the fluffy reader here.) What's on your list this summer?
Confessions....anyone reading 50 shades of grey...?

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Wintry white as the ideal background to the racing red of the Atomic Redster Crew! World Cup opening 2012: difficult, but acceptable conditions. Marcel Hirscher's analysis after the first race in his first season as overall World Cup winner, "Sölden gave us important feedback about the material and performance, a high tension had built up. It was good that the slope and sight were this difficult, the analysis of where we stand with the Redster D2 GS at the beginning of the season is even more valuable – and our position is very good." This 3rd place has been his best result in Sölden so far, "I owe this leap to the podium to the tuning flexibility of the new Redster boots: just one quick adaption of the boot and the setup for the combination of snowfall and an early start in the race was perfect. It's cool how much development has taken place in very short time."
Kathrin Zettel is used to top results in Sölden. Since 2005, her code of success expressed in her results has been: 4, 3, 1, 2, 7, 7, 2. She is also happy about the assessment of the Redster equipment, "In such a blind race, the material setup is key – and it was perfect for these conditions. I was positively surprised about 2nd place and I know there's even more possible."
After Sölden is before Levi. The World Cup slalom kick-off in Finland on 10 and 11 November is the next station of the World Cup. In contrast to last year, the winter has already started heavily there. A world premiere to come: In the far North, Marcel Hirscher will use the Icon Series that was designed by himself for the first time. "To participate in a race with a ski you helped develop and that has your branding: anyone who skies can image how amazing this is going to be. I can hardly wait for it."

An incredibly visual (and easy) three-phase Oil & Water routine that will absolutely fry them!
The performer removes three red cards and three black cards from the pack. One at a time, the cards are placed in a pile, alternating red and black cards...or so it seems. Without any sleights whatsoever, the red and black cards separate! Again the cards are alternated, and it appears they will stay that way, but with a quick flourish the reds and blacks visually separate once more! To finish, the cards are again clearly alternated and then divided into two piles of three cards. Invisibly the performer switches the middle card of each packet and slowly turns the cards over to show the reds have once again separated from the black!
Includes the specially printed Bicycle cards that do 99% of the work for you and David's detailed instructions.

42 U.S. Code § 1773 - School breakfast program
(a) Establishment; authorization of appropriations
There is hereby authorized to be appropriated such sums as are necessary to enable the Secretary to carry out a program to assist the States and the Department of Defense through grants-in-aid and other means to initiate, maintain, or expand nonprofit breakfast programs in all schools which make application for assistance and agree to carry out a nonprofit breakfast program in accordance with this chapter. Appropriations and expenditures for this chapter shall be considered Health and Human Services functions for budget purposes rather than functions of Agriculture.
(b) Breakfast assistance payments to State educational agencies; calculation; national average payments for breakfasts, free breakfasts and reduced price breakfasts; maximum price for reduced cost breakfasts; minimum daily nutrition requirements criteria; additional payments for severe need schools; maximum severe need payments
(i) The Secretary shall make breakfast assistance payments to each State educational agency each fiscal year, at such times as the Secretary may determine, from the sums appropriated for such purpose, in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying—
(I) the number of breakfasts served during such fiscal year to children in schools in such States which participate in the school breakfast program under agreements with such State educational agency; by
(ii) The agreements described in clause (i)(I) shall be permanent agreements that may be amended as necessary. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to limit the ability of the State educational agency to suspend or terminate any such agreement in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
(B) The national average payment for each free breakfast shall be 57 cents (as adjusted pursuant to section 1759a (a) of this title). The national average payment for each reduced price breakfast shall be one-half of the national average payment for each free breakfast, except that in no case shall the difference between the amount of the national average payment for a free breakfast and the national average payment for a reduced price breakfast exceed 30 cents. The national average payment for each breakfast served to a child not eligible for free or reduced price meals shall be 8.25 cents (as adjusted pursuant to section 1759a (a) of this title).
(C) No school which receives breakfast assistance payments under this section may charge a price of more than 30 cents for a reduced price breakfast.
(D) No breakfast assistance payment may be made under this subsection for any breakfast served by a school unless such breakfast consists of a combination of foods which meet the minimum nutritional requirements prescribed by the Secretary under subsection (e) of this section.
(E) Free and reduced price policy statement.— After the initial submission, a local educational agency shall not be required to submit a free and reduced price policy statement to a State educational agency under this chapter unless there is a substantive change in the free and reduced price policy of the local educational agency. A routine change in the policy of a local educational agency, such as an annual adjustment of the income eligibility guidelines for free and reduced price meals, shall not be sufficient cause for requiring the local educational agency to submit a policy statement.
(A) The Secretary shall make additional payments for breakfasts served to children qualifying for a free or reduced price meal at schools that are in severe need.
(B) The maximum payment for each such free breakfast shall be the higher of—
(3) The Secretary shall increase by 6 cents the annually adjusted payment for each breakfast served under this chapter and section 1766 of this title. These funds shall be used to assist States, to the extent feasible, in improving the nutritional quality of the breakfasts.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever stocks of agricultural commodities are acquired by the Secretary or the Commodity Credit Corporation and are not likely to be sold by the Secretary or the Commodity Credit Corporation or otherwise used in programs of commodity sale or distribution, the Secretary shall make such commodities available to school food authorities and eligible institutions serving breakfasts under this chapter in a quantity equal in value to not less than 3 cents for each breakfast served under this chapter and section 1766 of this title.
(c) Disbursement of apportioned funds by State; preference for schools in poor economic areas, for students traveling long distances daily, and for schools for improvement of nutrition and dietary practices of children of working mothers and from low-income families
Funds apportioned and paid to any State for the purpose of this section shall be disbursed by the State educational agency to schools selected by the State educational agency to assist such schools in operating a breakfast program and for the purpose of subsection (d) of this section. Disbursement to schools shall be made at such rates per meal or on such other basis as the Secretary shall prescribe. In selecting schools for participation, the State educational agency shall, to the extent practicable, give first consideration to those schools drawing attendance from areas in which poor economic conditions exist, to those schools in which a substantial proportion of the children enrolled must travel long distances daily, and to those schools in which there is a special need for improving the nutrition and dietary practices of children of working mothers and children from low-income families. Breakfast assistance disbursements to schools under this section may be made in advance or by way of reimbursement in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Secretary.
(d) Severe need assistance
(1) In general
Each State educational agency shall provide additional assistance to schools in severe need, which shall include only those schools (having a breakfast program or desiring to initiate a breakfast program) in which—
(A) during the most recent second preceding school year for which lunches were served, 40 percent or more of the lunches served to students at the school were served free or at a reduced price; or
(e) Nutritional requirements; service free or at reduced price; compliance assistance
(A) Breakfasts served by schools participating in the school breakfast program under this section shall consist of a combination of foods and shall meet the minimum nutritional requirements prescribed by the Secretary on the basis of tested nutritional research, except that the minimum nutritional requirements shall be measured by not less than the weekly average of the nutrient content of school breakfasts. Such breakfasts shall be served free or at a reduced price to children in school under the same terms and conditions as are set forth with respect to the service of lunches free or at a reduced price in section 1758 of this title.
(B) The Secretary shall provide through State educational agencies technical assistance and training, including technical assistance and training in the preparation of foods high in complex carbohydrates and lower-fat versions of foods commonly used in the school breakfast program established under this section, to schools participating in the school breakfast program to assist the schools in complying with the nutritional requirements prescribed by the Secretary pursuant to subparagraph (A) and in providing appropriate meals to children with medically certified special dietary needs.
(2) At the option of a local school food authority, a student in a school under the authority that participates in the school breakfast program under this chapter may be allowed to refuse not more than one item of a breakfast that the student does not intend to consume. A refusal of an offered food item shall not affect the full charge to the student for a breakfast meeting the requirements of this section or the amount of payments made under this chapter to a school for the breakfast.

It seems you can't fight the calendar after all.
In June, as you'll fondly remember, gold and gold stocks were in full-blown rally mode. At the time, I was telling you how this summer was shaping up to be the exception to the rule of seasonality for gold and other investments.
That rule—capsulized by the adage, "Sell in May, and go away"—holds that buying demand for investments withers away during the summer months, as vacations and other pursuits distract attention from the markets. For gold the effect is even more pronounced, because physical demand from Asia also dries up during this time frame.
But, as gold and other commodities were rallying in April and May… as even the much-beleaguered U.S. stock market was marching steadily higher… it seemed that we might be in store for an exception to the rule. In short, the summertime doldrums were on the verge of being replaced by a very hot summer market.
That might still happen. But there have been some big shifts in market direction and sentiment since our last issue. As far as the commodity play goes, not only has the bloom come off the rose, but the entire plant has begun withering under the summer heat.
The Rally Falters…
The rally in commodities was based on the idea that the worst was over for the global economy and a rebound was either imminent or already under way.
This idea was helped along by a Chinese buying spree in commodities, particularly copper. While most recognized this for astute restocking at bargain-basement prices, it also helped build faith in a China-led global economic recovery.
The Middle Kingdom, after all, led the world in the relative size of their economic rescue plan and the speed in which they enacted it. Moreover, their spending was directed toward infrastructure projects that actually stimulated the economy—an idea that would seem obvious anywhere but Washington. Therefore, one would expect that China would lead the world out of the recession, and in fact economic data out of China, to whatever degree it was reliable, began to point toward recovery.
So, there was some basis for the argument that the tide had turned for the global economy. And there was enough basis to lead speculators to pile into commodities, driving prices to heights that discounted a far stronger economic rebound than could possibly be provided.
Money was finally being made again. And considering the depth of the bottoms from which stocks and commodities were bouncing, the profits were quite extraordinary.
Coming from a trying period when profits of any kind were scarce, investors began to take profits by early June. The momentum was dying, and all that was needed by mid-June was some kind of spark to send the crowds rushing for the exits.
On June 22, a World Bank report projecting a deeper global economic downturn through the end of the year provided that spark. Commodities plunged, extending a slide that had begun at the beginning of the month for the metals, and about mid-month for oil. This sell-off further bolstered the argument that the party had ended for commodity bulls.
Rebound…Or Double-Dip Recession?
The late-spring rally in metals faltered because there just wasn't enough evidence supporting the argument for a significant and imminent economic rebound in the U.S. and the rest of the developed world.
Yes, China was looking better. But would it be enough to pull the entire world higher? Not likely.
At this point, investors are still torn between the prospects of an extended downturn (perhaps even a double-dip recession that would test previous lows), or a recovery beginning in the third or fourth quarter of this year.
The factors that would contribute to a continuance of the recession are painfully obvious, and it wouldn't take much for them to destroy any hope of a rebound.
From an economic viewpoint, the U.S. remains in a precarious position. Housing must recover before any significant or sustained recovery will be possible, and the real estate market remains mired on the downward slope of the cycle. Prices have only begun to fall to levels that reflect reality, and massive inventories remain to be drawn down.
In addition, the credit markets, while improving upon the disastrous state of affairs last fall, are still dancing along the edge of a precipice.
Mortgage rates must remain low if there is any hope of a housing market recovery, which places the Fed smack dab into a vicious cycle. To keep rates low, the Fed will be forced to continually accelerate its purchases of Treasury and mortgage paper…thereby monetizing the debt, fueling inflation and pressuring interest rates higher.
The investment markets recognize the trick box Bernanke and Co. are locked into, and will certainly take full advantage of the Fed's supporting bid.
From the viewpoint of the markets, the rally in stocks, and commodities, was obviously far ahead of any economic justification. In stocks, every standard of value, from P/E ratios to book values, show that the market has made the transformation from undervalued to quite expensive.
While the U.S. stock market has come up with more than its share of surprises over the past few months, the technical and fundamental underpinnings look exceptionally weak at this point.
Add it all up and you might consider the path to recovery as being uphill…and passing through a minefield. After all, while the pace of the U.S. economic decline is slowing, it is still in decline. Any negative development at all—from new interruptions in credit flows, to a crisis in commercial real estate, to a major banking default or any other "dropped shoe"—could collapse fragile consumer sentiment and send the economy back in the tank.
Conversely, we have to recognize that there are valid arguments for a rebound in the second half. Bulls on the economy argue that companies wasted no time cutting to the bone in this downturn. Employment and inventories are at barest minimums, and any increases in production will lead to dramatically improved inventory builds, employment and investment.
The auto industry is a prime example. Analysts estimate that auto production has fallen so low in the U.S., that it could increase by up to 75 percent without adding anything to inventories.
Because of this anticipated effect, some bullish economists are forecasting that July will be the first month this year to show actual growth in industrial production.
And, of course, companies also used the global economic collapse as an excuse to take massive write-downs and losses, which led to even worse earnings (and losses) over the last two quarters. Thus, any earnings at all in the quarters ahead will show dramatic improvement. While these earnings improvements will be somewhat misleading, they will still add fuel to a potential market rally and resulting positive sentiment.
Any positive sentiment will add to another factor many analysts are now banking on: pent-up consumer demand. The idea here is that consumers have put off many purchases that are temporarily discretionary but ultimately necessary. It's the theory of a "threadbare economic recovery"—businessmen, for example, can put off buying a new suit for some time. But eventually, when they wear a suit down to bare threads, they simply have to go out and get a new one.
Those arguing for economic growth this year are banking on this effect helping to some degree.
But the most important factor may be the long-awaited arrival of stimulus spending. Granted, the stimulus package foisted upon us by Congress and the Obama administration was misdirected and hugely inefficient. But it was also stupendously large—so large that its sheer size ensures that the flood of spending will assuredly juice up the U.S. economy to some extent.
On balance, looking at both sides of the argument, it would seem that the prospects for an economic rebound in the near term remain dim, and that the summer slowdown in the markets—including the metals—will remain in force.

Auburn man killed in crash; police say likely not storm-related
An unnamed man died Friday afternoon when his car struck a tree off the Route 28 Bypass. (Auburn Fire Department.)
An Auburn man died Friday afternoon when his car struck a tree off the Route 28 Bypass. Police say that accident does not appear to be related to the road conditions produced by the snowstorm.
The man was driving southbound on the Route 28 bypass between Spofford Road and Rattlesnake Hill Road in Auburn when his car left the roadway and struck a tree.
"It doesn't look like speed or alcohol were factors," said Sergeant Chip Chabot. "It might be an underlying medical issue that we have to look at."
Chabot noted that on his way to the scene of accident, the roadways were "clear and unobstructed."
The man's parents have been notified of his passing. His name has not been released.
A stretch of the Route 28 Bypass approaching the accident was shut down just before 1 p.m. Police reopened the road around 3 p.m.

Rough Skin Rescue
The main emollient ingredients in this body lotion are great for dry to very dry skin.
Daily Moisture Original Lotion for Dry Skin
Despite containing a decent selection of ingredients to improve slightly dry skin, we cannot recommend this body lotion.
Add to Faves?
Strengths: Inexpensive and generously-sized; contains a consistent range of tried-and-true emollient ingredients.
Weaknesses: None of the products are state-of-the-art formulas; several products listed as being good for sensitive skin or not containing fragrance are fragranced and/or contain ingredients those with sensitive skin should avoid; Many products contain a high amount of irritating eucalyptus extract the foot cream contains irritating citrus juices; the hand cream is overly fragranced.
Long a staple of the body-care aisle at drugstores around the world, Curel and its sister company Jergens (and Biore) are owned by the Japan-based Kao Corporation. Like Jergens, Curel offers an assortment of body lotions for dry, itchy skin. Whereas Jergens has expanded into an array of self-tanning products alongside their body lotions, Curel remains firmly based around body lotions for dry skin. Considering Curel's specialty, it's disappointing that so many of their body lotions disappoint, either due to average formulas or the inclusion of fragrant plant extracts (most often eucalyptus).
There's truly nothing worth considering from Curel, and that' sad. The price point is excellent, the sizes are generous, but none of this matters if what's inside the bottles isn't great for your skin. Don't get us wrong; Curel's body lotions contain some workhorse ingredients such as petrolatum and glycerin. Those can be great for dry skin, but they're just the beginning—dry skin needs a range of ingredients, including repairing and cell-communicating substances plus antioxidants—and those are lacking in pretty much every product Curel offers. In essence, Curel isn't the cure for dry skin.
If you've been intrigued by this line, your curiosity can stop here. Curel isn't the answer for dry, itchy, or sensitive skin (indeed, several of its products are a problem for sensitive skin). Other drugstore body lotions offer more for your money, and without problematic ingredients like eucalyptus. Some of those may cost a bit more, but when you're getting a truly superior formula, it's money well spent!

Back in the mid-noughties, what are now the previous generations of the Audi A3, BMW 1-Series and Mercedes A-Class (in 5 door format) were starkly different. Of course, the Audi and BMW had a degree of similarity, but the 1-Series was more compact than many would have liked in the rear and the trunk. Volvo's C30 felt like a car from half a segment below and was hurt by its 3-door only format and tiny trunk.
Consequently, the Audi A3 Sportback (5dr) did extremely well in the market – and with a new generation of these products being present at the show, it's notable how – give or take a few millimeters – BMW, Mercedes and now Volvo have all decided that where the Audi A3 Sportback was positioned, is a very good place for their new generation products to sit.
Essentially, that means a C-segment 5-door hatch, adopting a slightly 'wagon'-esque rear end and/or roofline. We should probably add the Lexus CT200h to the list of cars in this space too, although in many aspects of design it lags behind.
Of course, Audi are only showing the 3-door A3 here, so we'll have to wait to find out whether it plans to repositioning the next A3 Sportback. But we wouldn't bet on that happening. For customers in the market, there are now several very competent and apparently very similar in format cars to choose from.
That's probably good for sales, but from a design point of view, there's arguably less variety of format choice now than there was before. The biggest surprise though is how close the V40 feels in terms of quality and premium-ness, to both the A-Class and 1-Series. It's far from perfect, but it's easy to see how this car could be a hit for Volvo in the market. It hits the market sweetspot – a quality that many recent Volvos have been missing.
