Get down and dirty in the garden

Lisa is a writer, budding photographer and herb enthusiast. She enjoys poking around in the garden, creating in the kitchen and reading a good book (when she's not answering the call of "Mom!" from her five children).
Congratulations to the winners of the Herbal Roots Zine Giveaway! A. Donovan and Mikayla will each receive the July issue of Herbal Roots. Loridean has been selected as the lucky winner of an entire year's subscription. Enjoy!
The twins and I wandered outside the other day to survey the state of the herb garden together. It was humming with bees and naturally decorated with butterflies—delightful! After some discussion, we determined the herbs were ready for a mid-summer haircut. Each girl set to work with a pair of scissors and instructions to cut at about halfway down the plants.

As we cut, we put each herb in its own pile. Sometimes they would have to stop and inspect the plants before they added another handful, comparing the shape of the leaves or how the leaves were situated on the stems to be sure it was going to the right place. Every so often we took a break to have a tasting party and decide what kinds of things we might like to make with the herbs we were preparing to dry in our kitchen.
After collecting the herbs, I assigned Claire and Olivia each several piles to divide into handfuls and secure the bunches with rubber bands. They had a little trouble at first, but after I explained it was much like putting a ponytail in their doll's hair, they caught right on and chattered though the hour just like ladies at a salon!
Next, we added a paper clip hook to each bunch, opening the paper clip so it looks like an elongated "S" and hooking one end under the rubber band. Again, this took a couple of demonstrations, but they caught on and we had a nice collection of hangers in no time.

My girls love to do crafts, so making labels from slips of paper for each bunch was turned into an artistic endeavor. They wrote out the labels (with a little spelling help from me) and then after taking a close look at the plants, proceeded to add tiny sketches that represented the herb. Since we weren't in a hurry, I let them embellish as much as they wished. Then we slipped the papers under one section of the rubber band on each bunch.
Here is a list of the herbs we gathered this time:
• Lemon balm• Lavender• Oregano• Dill• Thyme• Bee balm• Comfrey• Plantain• Spearmint• Chocolate mint• Chamomile• Catnip• Rosemary• Sage
Make labels for each herb bunch. Photo by Lisa Kuhlman
As you can see, this is a fairly diverse list. As we gathered each herb, it was an opportunity to talk about which parts we use, how they are used (cooking, tea, medicinally, etc.) and whether or not the plants will grow back (perennial, annual, biennial, etc.) I explained there were a few herbs, like basil, cilantro and parsely, that we didn't cut for drying this time because I prefer to use them fresh or frozen. We'll wait until later in the summer to dry or freeze them.
Soon our bunches were ready to hang in the kitchen. In our kitchen, on a wall out of direct sunlight, I have strung a length of beading wire between two nails. We simply hang the bunches on the wire by the paperclip hooks and in a few weeks, they are ready to bring down and put into glass jars. Our kitchen always smells divine! (This line can double as an art gallery, too!)
When it was time to store our harvest, we took down all of one kind of herb at a time, rubbing the leaves off the stem and onto a large piece of paper. Then we picked up edges of the paper and slid the herbs right into a glass jar with a lid. Always be sure to add a label to the jar as soon as you are done with each herb. I can almost always tell the difference between the dried herbs by taste or scent, but plants like plantain and comfrey are very similar to each other in their dried form! Besides, having the kids create a label for even the most distinct herbs (like rosemary or lavender) is good reinforcement for learning about them.
As we worked, we dreamed about making our own herbal tea blends or perfume with floral waters (hydrosols) with the fresh herbs still growing in the garden. We wondered if the fairies that live in the fairy house tucked away to the side of the herb garden would like to collect and dry herbs as well.
It was agreed that they would. Collecting and drying herbs is great fun!

How To Buy Walking Shoes

How to Buy Walking Shoes
If your primary exercise activity is walking, it is important to buy shoes
designed specifically for walking. Modern walking shoes have been engineered

Cushioning and Heel Height
A walker's foot flexes more than a runner's during

A farmer turned a 200 acre field into a giant proposal message.
But, as Othello Jones reports, not everything went according to plan.
Loren Lentz sure knows how to work his tractor.
We had this 200 acre field that was prime, full of weeds.
Last month he used the 27-foot disc to engineer a unique marriage proposal.
I wanted to do something big.
That he did...taking one hour and a half to plow a message for his significant other in this field.
I get doing the "J" and 10-year old daughter is riding with me in the tractor and she says dad, you did the J- backwards, I said no, I didn't.
Later...Lentz would recognize his mistake.
She was correct.
But that did not thwart his plan.
Over the Summer...someone stole one of his service vehicles.
Lentz asked his girlfriend Jody Schaefer to go up in an airplane with him and a pilot friend to look for it.
I kept looking down, trying to look down. I couldn't tell the difference between a truck and a car.
Anything else so I just started taking aerial photos of everything.
As they approached deer park airport... Lentz asked Schafer to take photos of his haystacks.
That's when I put up the lens and through the eyelid I could see Loren in dirt… and I pulled it down and sure enough, there it was.
The proposal!
Had the ring in my hand at that point and turned around and handed her the ring and she gave me a great big hug over the seat.
A second go around... Schaeffer noticed something amiss.
It's not L-O-D-Y.
She decided to marry me anyway even though the J was backwards.
The couple plan to get married next month.

It's that time of year again gentlemen. Movember is back, and it's time to sport that moustache you've always wanted. Sure, you may get some strange glances on the train in the morning, your boss may question your new look, and your girlfriend may make empty threats, but you can tell all those naysayers your mustache isn't merely a questionable fashion statement or expression of your manliness; it's a noble quest to raise awareness for men's health issues, particularly prostate and testicular cancer.

Jayden intoned as he and his brother, Gregor, looked out over the castle walls. The sun shone down hot and heavy and inside his armor Jayden felt as though he were cooking. "Don't sound so ominous." Gregor said, giving his brother a playful nudge. "What's it been, 10 years, 20 since last they came?" "15." "15 then. And what happened last time?"

The Hammond Institute was launched on September 26, 2013, with a series of events on Lindenwood University's St. Charles campus. Following a public reception in the lobby of the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts, we were honored to have Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal as our featured speaker.
This main event included responses by Brenda Talent of the Show-Me Institute and Joseph Haslag of the University of Missouri, as well as an opportunity for members of the audience to ask questions of the speakers. The launch closed with a reception in honor of John W. Hammond at the Lindenwood House.
Below is a slide show of photos from the day's events, followed by a video of the main event.

Definition of placebo in English:
noun (plural placebos)
- According to the report published in the British Medical Journal, 60 percent of medical professionals prescribe placebos to their patients.
- According to a new study by Israeli researchers, most doctors prescribe placebos to their patients, and in most of these cases, the patients are told they are receiving real medication.
- And, if some patients benefit from placebos, and they are not harmed, I guess I can live with that.
- All placebo controlled trials were positive and all comparative trials indicated equivalence with other active therapies.
- That one doesn't get answered as often as it should, because the FDA generally only requires testing against placebo.
- The practice of testing new medicines against placebo, rather than against the best treatment available, has contributed to a general lack of knowledge.
- It's interesting that the broken crosswalk buttons were not originally designed to act as placebos (presumably).
- The stock markets, leisure travel, and all the other industries affected are relying on the sum of all these measures, including the placebos, to recover.
- There is some debate as to whether an argon suit inflation system keeps you warm, or merely acts as a placebo i.e. making you believe that you're warmer!
Late 18th century: from Latin, literally 'I shall please', from placere 'to please'.
In Latin placebo means 'I shall be acceptable or pleasing'. Doctors have probably always prescribed some drugs just to keep a patient happy, and used the term placebo for these as far back as the late 18th century. Researchers testing new drugs give some participants substances with no therapeutic effect to compare their reactions to those who have genuinely been treated: such a substance is also a placebo. Results may be confused, though, by the placebo effect, first identified in the early 1950s, in which the person's belief in the treatment brings about beneficial effects that have nothing to do with the properties of the placebo they have taken. Placid (early 17th century) comes from the same Latin root, along with words under please.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – The University of Pikeville women's basketball team lost a heartbreaker in overtime Monday afternoon, as a free throw from Alice Lloyd College junior forward Ariel Nickell eked out an Eagles win 88-87 in overtime.
Nickell, who spent most of the afternoon as the focal point for the Eagles' offense, had a game-high 39 points, which were more than ample to give her a double-double with her 13 rebounds in addition to three steals.
The Bears took an 80-78 lead when junior Callisha Johnson sank a free throw with 2:11 to play in regulation, and the Eagles tied it 11 seconds later when Nickell sank a jump shot. The teams played a scoreless final two minutes and headed to overtime.
In the extra frame, each team held a one-point lead in the opening minute before the game was tied at 87 on a layup by sophomore Whitney Belle Jackson with 26 seconds to play. It was the 11th and final tie of the contest.
Nickell went to the stripe with five seconds to play and, after missing the first toss, sank the second. A three-point shot from the top of the key fell shy of the bucket as the horn sounded.
Nickell's performance was supplemented by sophomore guard Carla Booth's 17 points, eight rebounds, and a game-high of seven assists. Sophomore guard J.J. Hickson added an extra 14 points and five assists, while junior guard Courtney Crowder shot 100% on the night to get 10 points along with her six rebounds.
UPIKE was led by junior forward Brogan Conley's 25 points and seven rebounds. Conley also had a strong impact defensively with six steals and three blocks. Sophomore center Whitney Belle Jackson put in 19 for the Bears, with freshman Peyton Wright scoring 13 and junior Calisha Johnson coming off the bench for 14 points and three steals.
The Bears now drop below .500 at 5-6. They will be back in action tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. when they host visiting Lee University. Alice Lloyd will have a chance to savor their hard-fought win over Christmas break before resuming their season on January 4th when they host Point Park University.

Good-sized crowd watches swearing in, officer selection at quarterly PABLO — Mickey Pablo of Hot Springs was unanimously chosen by his fellow Council members Jan. 1 to be Tribal Chairman for the next two years. Unlike his selection to serve in that post throughout 1987, which was the result of nine or ten secret ballots over the space of a few hours when the Council couldn't choose between him and Ron Therriault in January of1986 (the two split the term, with Therriault get- 10 10 « g 00 Si fiQ 2 ting the nod for 1986 and Pablo taking over in 1987), the 1988 selection process took only a few seconds. In what was the "new" Council's first official action, Pablo was nominated for the job and then automatically selected when nominations were closed. The same thing happened for the selection of the other three Council officers: Sole nominee Fred Matt (St. Ignatius) was unanimously voted in as vice-chairman; Bob McCrea (Ronan) was unanimously selected as Tribal Council Secretary; and Sonny Morigeau of Dixon became Tribal Council Treasurer. Elected as sergeant-at-arms was Ber-nice Hewankorn, chosen from a field of 16. The first order of business at the January 1988 quarterly, though, was the swearing in, by chief Tribal judge Don Dupuis, of the five men who won the December general election. (The sixth winner, Floyd Nicolai, was sworn in at the first Council meeting following the Dec. 12 balloting, because he was stepping into a term left vacant by a resignation.) Following statements by all of thanks for election support and good wishes for the upcoming new year, the meeting was opened to comments from the audience, which numbered close to 100, in spite the day being a holiday. Former Council member from St. Ignatius Ron Therriault started things off with a statement about the year-in-review reports that were appearing in the Reservation's three local newspapers — reports that gave a lot of attention to the Tribes' stronger stands on jurisdiction in 1987. While he mightnotbe in the news as much as before, people needn't think the Tribes will be going back to the "good old days when the Indians were quiet", he said. "We know we're strong because people are taking shots at us now. They fear power." (Continues on page two) Moose permit reminder The Tribal Fish and Game Conservation Dept. reminds all Tribal hunters that their 1987 moose-hunting permits expired Dec. 31, so they have to get new ones for 1988. This can be done in person at TFGC's Pablo offices or by mail, advises Carole McCrea, if the applicant knows his or her Tribal "i.d." number. Call 675-2700, ext 517, for more information.

University of Cincinnati basketball fans can expect to pay a hefty price to watch the Bearcats in Philadelphia.
Flights from Cincinnati to Philadelphia will cost around $700. Fans can save $30 by flying out of Dayton.
Tournament Coverage / Printable Bracket
Provident Travel and AAA say they are not offering a comprehensive package to fans, but they can help with booking hotels and air fare.
A spokesperson for the university says Cincinnati only receives a small amount of tickets, which are first made available to season ticket holders and donors.
Students can enter themselves into a ticket lottery. Fifty winners will be selected and can pay for two tickets per person.
The Bearcats will play Creighton Friday at 2:45 p.m.

The skinny: It's easy to compare the Japandroids to the White Stripes and the Black Keys, since those are the two best known alt-rock duos of recent years. Yet, this Canadian twosome definitely has a different, though equally enticing, sound than either of those touchstone acts. The Japandroids are more of a garage-rock outfit, one that seemingly favors noisy pop over bluesy rock. It also puts on an extremely energetic live show, which had a crowd cheering and chanting like European soccer fans at SXSW. Brian King rips at his guitar like Dave Grohl, while David Prowse pounds his drums like, well, Dave Grohl.

Sufficient - not great
By Island Guy

About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Halo Headband Protex Skull Cap:
I bought the Halo headband to solve my sweat in the eyes situation that invariably occurs on most of my rides. It has helped but not to the extent that I was hoping for.Admittedly, I do perspire rather heavily. So much so that I routinely find that I am dressed lighter than my fellow club members on cold days.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

They work!! Plain and simple. Keep sweat out of your eyes and protect your head by wearing these. I sweat ALOT!! And these keep it out of my eyes.

It works but...
By ptb
from MI
See all my reviews
Seems silly but when reading a review about skull caps and head bands one reviewer stated the "Halo" brand works well but leaves a thin band on your forehead; I chuckled to myself thinking... how vain. She was correct a thin band is implanted on your forehead after every ride long or short using the Halo. Normally I would / do not care however, after one particular ride I had a gathering to attend and even after one to two hours I was sporting this thin 1/2" indentation on my forehead.The Head Sweat Cap leaves an imprint too from the extra fabric at the forehead section of the cap but it is very slight and goes away in less than one hour.When I need more skull caps "Headsweats" will be what I buy! Oh and they work perfectly no sweat in eyes or running onto my shades. A++++
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Best product I found so far
By Rick
from Richmond VA
I use this when ride my road, city and trail bike, also great for yard work. I have one skull cap (non adjustable) and 3 bandanas which I use for outside work. I wish I found these a long time ago as I have had many other type of sweat removal caps but none work as well as this one. I sweat a lot and usually I have to wring it out after 15 to 20 miles of hard riding as it gets total soaked but still manages to keep the sweat from going across my eyes and glasses on those hot day of 90F+ and humidity 50%+ it is working extra hard to keep me going till I stop. I wish the cap came in multiple colors and designs.

Great product
By Bullfrog
from Charlotte, NC
Used for 7 days straight for 15 hour days. I used to get sweat in my eyes, but this product kept that from happening.
Not for heavy sweating
By Savannah Biker
from Savannah, GA
This does not work well for indoor spin classes. It will work for a few minutes but then sweat pours over the yellow plastic thing and saturates your eyes. Pretty much worthless if you sweat much.
Very Pleased
By daileyd
from Clarksville, TN
I use this product in my daily rides where it has worked perfectly. I was having problems with sweat from my forehead getting in my eyes. I tried a bandana that was not successful.
Serves the purpose well.
By Mike S.
from Sebastian, FL
Do alot of trail riding in Florida. One thing I started wearing was a good pair of biking safety glasses. The problem was sweat getting on the lenses after a short time of riding which forced me to stop and clear the lenses... not what I wanted. Decided to try the Halo headband vs. a standard bandana and I made the right decision. The band on the forehead really helps keep the sweat from dripping and also diverts it up and away. Very good product.

Why Momentum Stocks Are Tumbling Back to Earth
Momentum can be a breathtaking thing. It works wonders when it gathers steam in the right direction. When it reverses it's difficult, if downright impossible, to control.
That's the pain investors are currently feeling as many of the stock-market darlings take it on the chin. From biotech to social media to Internet stocks, the pockets of the market getting hit the hardest are the same ones that ran up the most at the end of 2013 and the beginning of this year.
This selloff is "about extended positions," says Andrew Brenner, head of international fixed income at National Alliance Capital Markets in New York. "Markets always move to hurt the most players that are offsides. No different now."
We've already highlighted some of the biotech stocks getting whacked, including Biogen Idec, Alexion Pharmaceuticals and everyone's favorite momentum stock, Intercept Pharmaceuticals. But the selloff isn't just centered in biotech. Some popular tech and social-media stocks are also crumbling as the broad market takes a big tumble.
Facebook, Twitter, Netflix and Tesla Motors are four stocks, in particular, that are taking a big hit Thursday.
After rallying 7% on Wednesday, Facebook shares have given up almost all of those gains one day later. The stock is down about 20% from its record high of $72.59 hit on March 11. The selloff has coincided with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's acquisition spending spree on startups such as WhatsApp and Oculus, in which he has spent billions of dollars acquiring companies with lots of potential but little or no revenue.
Twitter has fallen sharply from what we like to call the Rueben Kressel top, when shares peaked at $74.73 in late December. The selloff has gained steam over the past month along with the rest of the momentum names. Shares are now down 45% from their record high.
Twitter still trades above its $26 IPO price. But remember when it started trading, the first trade came in at $45.10. It now trades well below that level.
Then there's Netflix, a poster child for the momentum crowd. One that even its own CEO, Reed Hastings, warned was getting too frothy. In October, he noted that his stock price had "momentum-investor-fueled euphoria" behind it. Back then the stock was trading around $400. It climbed as high as $458 on March 6. But since then, the stock has dropped in 20 of the past 26 trading days as of Wednesday's close. Shares were down another 5% on Thursday. Overall the stock is down 27% from last month's record high.
One can't mention the go-go stocks without taking note of Tesla Motors Inc. The electric-car maker, whose shares surged from the low $30s to nearly $200 last year and then continued rallying at the beginning of 2014 have since fallen hard. Shares peaked at $265 on Feb. 26, but have since dropped 23% and are once again hovering around $200.

BELPRE - The Ohio EPA will hold a public hearing on a draft air permit for Kraton Polymers at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 19 at the Washington County Public Library, 2012 Washington Blvd.
Kraton plans to replace two existing coal-fired boilers with two new boilers at the Belpre plant.
The company plans to fire the new boilers with natural gas, distillate oil and naphtha, a flammable liquid mixture of hydrocarbons that is generally used as a solvent in chemical industries.
Before issuing the permit, Ohio EPA reviewed the company's application to ensure emissions would comply with federal and state air pollution control standards, laws and regulations. The draft air permit establishes emission limits to protect public health and the environment.
The permit would allow facility-wide emissions to change.
Net emissions would substantially decrease for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. Additionally, there would be a significant net emissions increase in carbon monoxide.
Fact Box
In Addition
The permit also is available online and arrangements can be made to review or copy the permit and related material at the above address by calling (740) 385-8501.
The proposed allowable air emissions rate for carbon monoxide under the draft permit is 163.6 tons per year. This would require the facility to implement best available control technologies and comply with stringent hourly carbon monoxide emissions limitations.
The public can submit comments for the record about the draft air permit during the hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to obtain additional information that will be considered before Ohio EPA issues or denies a final air permit.
The agency will equally consider written comments on the permit through Dec. 21. Comments can be sent to Chad Ferguson at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ohio EPA Southeast District Office, 2195 Front Street, Logan, OH 43138. Interested parties also may write to this address for more information.

USA, 2012, 112 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Documentary, Gay/Lesbian, History
MUST END Thursday, January 24th!
Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature
35mm presentation - How To Survive A Plague is the untold story of the efforts that turned AIDS into a mostly manageable condition – and the improbable group of young men and women who, with no scientific training, infiltrated government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, and helped identify promising new compounds, moving them through trials and into drugstores in record time. These drugs saved their lives and ended the darkest days of the epidemic, while virtually emptying AIDS wards in American hospitals.
These activists' efforts created a paradigm for patient empowerment and health care activism that has since been replicated in the fight against many other diseases from breast cancer to heart disease. And as AIDS spread to Africa, India, and Asia, these activists helped open local groups, exporting AIDS activism to press for better, and more accessible, treatment.
Their story stands as a powerful inspiration to future generations, a road map, and a call to arms. Science has yet to find a cure, and without rejuvenated vigilance, transmission is on the rise – most remarkably, among young gay men who are ignorant of how AIDS activists beat back a plague, and along the way changed the world.

With 14 players out and with the leadership of All-CPL Bri Evans and Tara Bunker plus the experience of Selena Galan, Macksville's head volleyball coach Jennifer Gillespie will have one-half of last year's top players returning. She'll have her work cut out for her though, but if attitude has anything to do with success, her 2013 Lady Stangs will meet the challenge head on.
The Lady Mustangs will still have a decided height disadvantage this year with their tallest players Clara Cross and Bunker both standing at 5'8". Cross, a senior along with fellow senior Melissa Espino bring varsity experience to the line-up.
Evans, one of four seniors is Macksville's stand-out in the back court and known for her reliable defensive skills. Bunker, a junior uses every inch of her height with her slams at the net. She and senior Galan's slams talley up many of Macksville's scores. Cross, the tallest player on the team is a force at the net as the Stangs's middle-hitter and blocker.
"We will have some big shoes to fill with the graduation of a quality senior class and will have to rely on our young players to fill the holes" said coach Gillespie. "We will be extremely youthful at some positions, but have some girls who have a great deal of competitive court experience and are ready to challenge for extensive playing time."
Gillespie continued saying, "Our schedule this year includes last year's state qualifiers Bucklin (1A Div 1), Kiowa County (2A), Pratt-Skyline 4th in 2A, St. John state runner-up in 1A Div 1, and the very competitive Hutch-Trinity, Central Plains, and Ellinwood."
This year's roster includes seniors: Galen (5'7" OH/S), Evans (5'4" Libero), Cross (5'8" MH/RH) and Espino (5'3" S/DS) – juniors: Bunker (5'8" MH), Emma Austin (5'5" OH), Erin Hornbaker (5'3" Libero) – Sophomores: Cody Burnett (5'5" OH) and Kaite Blevins (5'6" OH) – Freshmen: Taylor Gillespie (5'7" MH/RH), Sophie Filbert (5'6" S/OH), Olivia Vosburgh (5'4" S/OH) and Deisy Carillo (5'6" OH). Olivia Vosburgh's name was inadvertanly left off the St. John News printed edition.
Head Coach: Jennifer Gillespie 15th year – Assistant Coach: Amy Stewart 2nd year.
Last Year's Finish: 2nd round sub-state loss to St. John-Hudson.
Returning lettermen: 6 – Returning starters 3.

A Spartanburg woman faces aggravated assault charges after police say she stabbed her ex-boyfriend in the eye with a pocketknife.
The incident occurred on Sunday night at a South Church Street residence. Sheila Wynn, 36, of 231 S. Forest St., said she was at the house for a gathering when her on-and-off-again boyfriend, Keith Lamont Pearson, arrived with his new girlfriend, according to an incident report.
Wynn told police that Pearson and his new girlfriend had an argument and went outside. Pearson then returned inside, where Wynn was, the report states. The two got into an argument, and Wynn said she pulled a pocketknife out of her back pocket and stabbed Pearson, the report states.
Wynn told police she didn't fear for her safety during the argument with Pearson. Wynn remains in the Spartanburg County jail in lieu of a $30,000 bond.
Pearson's injuries required surgery at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. The hospital had no information on Pearson on Monday afternoon.

Growing up, my father did something we call attitude checks. I don't know if it first started with him or a spiritual friend of his that owned a Christian camp my siblings and I used to attend. Either way, an attitude check went like this: Someone looks mad, acts out, seems frustrated. Dad: 'Attitude check!?' Us: 'Praise the Lord.' This exchange would repeat until we smiled big or couldn't avoid laughing. This may sound silly but it was a simple thing to remind us in its repetition to always be mindful of our thoughts and attitudes and what was shaping them. That's what we are to always do as believers: be mindful, consider and reconsider our attitudes. In this brief blog below, Victor Aloyo poignantly reminds us of the importance in reexamining our attitudes about something absolutely essential to every minister and ministry: diversity. After all, everybody is different so diversity is about You.
Overcoming Adversity
Our attempts at diversity in theological education are fraught with risk as we consider what we must rethink and what traditional boundaries must be transgressed as we prepare effective religious leaders. In our American society, the myth of the melting pot has created the illusion of cultural homogeneity and sameness in the minds of many and it supports an unrealistic desire to view our American culture as monolithic. But as institutions of theological education that are gifted with the lenses of faith and values, we are challenged to identify, reinterpret, and dismantle barriers that prevent diversity. If our mission is to prepare women and men for effective and liberating ministry in the world, we miss the mark with educational experiences that do not reflect the realities of diversity in our daily lives. As with the Peter in Acts 10:15b, we are challenged to embrace the vision of God's realm as revealed in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. When we do, we discover the connection between authentic, intentional diversity and progressive, transformative education. Upon this theological foundation we see the value of a reinterpreted educational mission that is committed to the vision of diversity, that cultivates new attitudes that honor diversity, and that willingly creates policies and practices that support ongoing diversity.
A commitment to any cause is only as good as the attitudes and perspectives that support it, so a second principle in our efforts toward diversity is to cultivate attitudes that honor diversity. Once Peter committed to reexamine the implications of his cultural exclusiveness in his new and changing context, he was challenged to adjust and realign his attitude. Some of the very things that he accepted as profane under the Law were now viewed in a different light under the grace of salvation. It became apparent that his encounter with Cornelius caused a change in his thinking as he made the profound theological statement, "I truly understand that God shows no partiality but in every nation, anyone who fears [God] and does what is right is acceptable to [God]." (Acts 10:34-35) The beauty of this proclamation is that Peter began with a solid theological statement not a speculative human position. He stood on the firm ground of the Gospel message that provided reassurance in the unfamiliar waters of cultural diversity.
Likewise, as we consider the awesome challenge of diversity here at Princeton Seminary, we must be aware of the need for attitudinal changes in our institution. Beginning with Peter's theological posture of will support and sustain an educational environment that prepares effective religious leaders. Unfortunately, once institutions face the full magnitude of diversity there is a temptation to adopt a "color-blind" or "a-cultural" posture that will shield us from differences rather than help us appreciate and learn from the experience. An attempt to neutralize cultural particularities in an educational environment creates instead an ethos that favors the comfort of uniformity rather than the dynamism of unity within diversity.

The 2012 Presidential Candidates on Women's Issues
"A child of the Americas/A light-skinned mestiza of the Caribbean/A child of many diaspora, born into this continent at a crossroads." (Ending Poem by Rosario Morales and Aurora Levins Morales)
When I was 16 and figuring out my cultural identity, I stumbled across this poem in an anthology. The lines, and the Puerto Rican and Nuyorican poets that wrote them, perfectly articulated my emotions and affirmed that my in-between otherness was real. My culture's literature and storytelling tradition not only make me proud but have influenced my life choices.
I owe everything to my family and our culture. Being raised knowing your family left their home in hopes of a better future as the political climate and society became tumultuous, leaves you with a lot of questions and a lot of photographs. Having the opportunity to go to Cuba, and meet all those family members I had only seen in photos was mind blowing. Within minutes of arrival, nothing about me being from "La Yuma" (USA) meant anything. It was all smiles, hugs, food, music, rum and cafe. "Oye, Eduard, metete en la ducha que nos vamos a la fiesta asere!" I was family and they certainly made me feel that way. Eso es ser Cubano.
How to Deal With High-Maintenance People

OAKLAND -- City council members want to know why Oakland, with an unemployment rate hovering 4 percent above the state average, squandered $644,000 in job-training grants.
Oakland was one of 20 California cities in 2010 to receive a National Emergency Grant to help long-term unemployed residents get jobs, but by the end of last year the city had returned nearly all the money because it couldn't comply with the program's requirements.
"I'm extremely upset," Councilmember Larry Reid said. "We've got all these folks out here that needed the help."
Oakland has seen its unemployment rate drop over the past few years, from roughly 18 percent to just under 13 percent, but that figure still dwarfs many of its Bay Area neighbors. The state unemployment rate is 9.8 percent.
City officials said Monday that the administration of former Mayor Ron Dellums applied for the $745,000 grant, part of a federal stimulus program overseen by the state, without fully understanding its stringent requirements.
The city planned to use the funds to help hard-to-employ people, such as ex-convicts, get work experience to put on their resumes, said John Bailey, who heads the city's Workforce Investment Board. However, the grant specified that the funds had to go toward job-training programs established in conjunction with employers that planned to hire the trainees.
Additionally, the city had to hold an open competition for the two nonprofits chosen to run the programs, which it never did, Bailey said.
Oakland officials worked with the state to try to salvage the funds, which had to be spent by last June, but it deemed that the bidding for vendors would take too long and struggled to find companies willing to participate in job-training programs.
"We thought it was important to follow the letter of the law ... but it's always unfortunate when money has to go back," Assistant City Administrator Fred Blackwell said.
In working with the state, the city managed to get approval to use just $80,849 out of the $725,462 grant.
It's unclear why Oakland was chosen for the grant, considering that its plan for using the funds didn't comply with regulations. Neither the city, which was closed for business due to budget constraints, nor the state Employment Development Department, which oversees the grant program, could provide a copy of the city's application on Monday.
Department spokesman Dan Stephens said in an email Oakland wasn't the only recipient that had to return funds, and that most of Oakland's money was redistributed to other cities that received grants.
Since the 2008 financial meltdown, Oakland had received $6,668,774 in stimulus funding for its youth, adult and dislocated worker training program, none of which had to be returned, Stephens wrote.
However, Oakland's handling of job-training funds has been a political hot potato that has landed the city in trouble before with state regulators. A 2010 state audit criticized the city's management of $3.1 million in job-training funds and questioned the accounting and job-creation figures provided by the Private Industry Council, a politically connected nonprofit that provided the services.
Later that year, the Dellums administration decided to put the city in charge of running the programs -- reducing the council's business with the city.
Given the lost funds, Reid said the city should reconsider how it overseas job-training programs.
"If we're sending money back to the federal government, then maybe we should get out of the business of running the program," he said.
At Reid's request, the city is scheduled to issue a report to council members about the lost funds next month.

Hollywood's most famous former child star Shirley Temple Black (sorry Jackie Coogan!) has been keeping a very low profile since serving as the United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia under President George H. W. Bush.
But this week the curly-topped virgin cocktail eponym made a sudden reappearance on Twitter of all places.
Though her account is presently unverified, it appears to have been confirmed by several people in the know, including fellow silver screen legend Dick Van Dyke with whom Temple had a fairly surreal Twitter exchange.
With direct access to one of most iconic thespians to ever pose for celluloid during Hollywood's Golden Age, the thoughts of Twitter users immediately turned to a single question: What does Shirley Temple think of America's latest little sweetheart, Honey Boo Boo.
"i have been asked what i think of 'honey boo,'" the 84-year-old replied. "Can someone tell me who that is~"
Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha later revealed herself to be the source of the Honey Boo Boo question.
"I can't believe I tweeted at Shirley Temple about Honey Boo Boo this morning. #Yolo," Rocha tweeted.
And I can't wait until Shirley Temple uses the hashtag #Yolo.
UPDATE: Turns out the unverified account was unverified for a reason. Shirley Temple's reps say their client hasn't joined Twitter and continues to live a private life.
Should have known something was off when she claimed not to know who Honey Boo Boo is.
