Global Public Health
global bc
The Global Public Health program is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program offered through collaboration among the Boston College Schools of Education, Nursing, and Social Work. The program is open to all Boston College undergraduates, and it is designed for students who wish to explore global health issues as the basis for a potential career in public health, or who wish to understand the significance of global health challenges for their own futures in other fields. The Global Public Health program has a broad vision, and an important purpose of the program is to draw together advances in the natural sciences with the insights of the humanities and social sciences.
The Global Public Health program begins with a three-course sequence that integrates foundational principles of public health with research on health topics, populations, and settings so that students can learn about the public health field and the application of skills to real-world problems.
Public Health in a Global Society
Contemporary Issues in Public Health
Public Health Practice in the Community

Calotropis procera
Calotropis procera is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, that is native to North Africa, Tropical Africa, Western Asia, South Asia, and Indochina. The green globes are hollow but the flesh contains a toxic milky sap that is extremely bitter and turns into a gluey coating resistant to soap.
Common names for the plant include apple of Sodom,[1] Sodom apple, stabragh[citation needed], kapok tree,[1] king's crown,[2] rubber bush,[1] or rubber tree.[1] The name apple of Sodom derives from the Hebrew Tapuah Sdom.[3]
The fruit is described by the Roman Jewish historian Josephus, who saw it growing near Sodom: "...as well as the ashes growing in their fruits; which fruits have a color as if they were fit to be eaten, but if you pluck them with your hands, they dissolve into smoke and ashes." (Whiston 1737: Book IV chapter 8 section 4)[4]
In his Biblical Researches in Palestine, Edward Robinson describes it as the fruit of the Asclepias gigantea vel procera, a tree 10–15 feet high, with a grayish cork-like bark called osher by the Arabs. He says the fruit resembled a large, smooth apple or orange, hanging in clusters of three or four. When pressed or struck, it exploded with a puff, like a bladder or puff-ball, leaving in the hand only the shreds of the thin rind and a few fibers. It is filled chiefly with air, which gives it the round form. In the center a small slender pod runs through it which contains a small quantity of fine silk, which the Arabs collect and twist into matches for their guns.[3] The plant, however, is not native solely to Palestine. It is known to occur throughout the tropical belt and is also common in the West Indies (e.g. Jamaica), where the locals know it as "pillow cotton". When the ripe "apples" burst, the fibrous contents are ejected along with the seeds. The former are collected by the Jamaicans and used for filling pillows.
Sodom apple is listed in the Mishnah and Talmud. The fibers attached to the seeds may have been used as wicks. However the Mishnah forbids this for the Sabbath.:[5] "It may not be lighted with cedar-bast, nor with uncombed flax, nor with floss-silk, nor with willow fiber, nor with nettle fiber.- Sabbath Chapter 2"[6]
Some biblical commentators believe that the Sodom Apple may have been the poisonous gourd (or poison-tasting gourd) that led to "death in the pot" in 2 Kings 4:38–41. In this story, a well-meaning servant of the prophet Elisha gathers herbs and a large quantity of the unknown gourds, and casts them into the pot. After the outcry from the band of prophets, Elisha, instructs them to cast flour into the stew pot, and they are saved.[7] The fibre of the Sodom Apple may have been used for the linen of the high priests.
In 1938, botanists Hannah and Ephraim HaReuveni, authors of the "The Squill and the Asphodal," speculated that Jeremiah's arar was the Sodom apple.[5]
Chemical properties[edit]
The milky sap contains a complex mix of chemicals, some of which are steroidal heart poisons known as "cardiac aglycones". These belong to the same chemical family as similar chemicals found in foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea). The steroidal component includes an hydroxyl group in the C3β position, a second attached to the C14 carbon, a C/D-cis ring junction and an α,β-unsaturated-γ-lactone in the C17 position. In the plants, the steroidal component is commonly attached via a glycosidic link to a 2-desoxy or a 2,6-didesoxy sugar molecule. The features described are those required for toxicity but in addition there can be other substitutions into the steroid nucleus. These can be a C19-aldehyde in place of the more usual methyl group in this position as well as additional hydroxyl functions and sometimes epoxide structures.
In the case of the Calotropis glycosides, their names are calotropin, calotoxin, calactin, uscharidin and voruscharin (the latter two involve rare sugars with nitrogen and sulphur in the structures). The steroidal moiety (known as "calotropagenin", formula C23H32O6) has one of the more unusual structures. The C-19 formyl (CHO) group is present and there is an additional secondary alcohol as well as the common C3 and C14 hydroxyl functions. The position of this third hydroxyl function remains in some doubt. It was apparently established by the Swiss group under Thadeus Reichstein[8] as being in the C2 position with an equatorial configuration. However, this assignment does not explain some of the known features and behaviours of this molecule, in particular the absence of spin-spin coupling of the two axial protons associated with their geminal hydroxyl groups and the failure to react with iodate in a cleavage reaction which the presence of such a viscinal 1,2-diol would require.
Literary and musical references[edit]
John Milton alludes to this plant in his epic poem, Paradise Lost, while describing the fruit that Satan and his cohorts eat after having tempted Adam and Eve to eat an apple from the Tree of Good and Evil:
...greedy they pluck'd
The Frutage fair to sight, like that which grew
Neer that bituminous Lake where Sodom flam'd;
This more delusive, not the touch, but taste
Deceav'd; they fondly thinking to allay
Thir appetite with gust, instead of Fruit
Chewd bitter Ashes, which th' offended taste
With spattering noise rejected: oft they assayd
Hunger and thirst constraining...
- (bk. 10, ll. 520–528)
Marilyn Manson recorded a song bearing the plant-name "Apple Of Sodom" for the soundtrack album of the 1997 David Lynch film Lost Highway.

Each of the police roll calls for the hundreds of officers who would clear the Occupy Philadelphia protest from Dilworth Plaza on Wednesday morning started the same way.
Capt. Bill Fisher, whose ubiquitous presence at City Hall during the previous 56 days had made him the department's main link to the encampment there, stood at the lectern and recited the First Amendment - the foremost right the protesters were exercising.
"We've had a pretty successful operation so far, but a lot depends on what happens tonight," Fisher, the commander of the Civil Affairs Unit, told the officers. "Act professionally at all times."

Peter Dreier: As he did during his 2008 campaign, Obama should encourage the organizers and activists who are challenging corporate power, recognizing that their ability to agitate and mobilize ordinary Americans can help him be a more effective president.
Mitch McConnell and the Art of Dysfunction
Stanley Kutler: McConnell wanted the president not to propose his own agenda and policies, but to offer "solutions" that would satisfy Republicans — and undoubtedly on their own terms.
Time to Bench Mitch McConnell and His Cronies?
Joseph Palermo: Ending the filibuster is within the realm of possibility if only the Democrats had the guts to do it.
Finally Over
STeve Hochstadt: Republican policy will mean relief for profit, outside of public control, in a new age of deadly storms. Democratic policy will mean strong public control of relief, combined with an effort to slow down global warming.
Because the GOP Lacks Vision: The Case for Obama's Reelection
Unai Montes-Irueste: Republicans hate President Obama because the successful passage and defense of the Affordable Care Act necessarily redefines American public policy for the 21st Century.
It's Still the Economy, Stupid
Berry Craig: If the GOP justices gang up to turn thumbs down on the Affordable Care Act, it might even boost the president by firing up the Democratic faithful and convincing more than a few independents that the Supreme Court really is a lapdog for Congressional Republicans and not a watchdog for the Constitution.
A Vote for Newt, Willard, and Chums Is a Vote Against the Unemployed
Julie Driscoll: In their zeal to see that President Obama is a one-term president, it does not behoove Republicans to roll out anything that would actually improve the economic outlook for the unemployed. They barely pay lip service to it.
Stupid Politics From a Smart Administration
Joseph Palermo: The whole tenor of the next two years is going to feel like George W. Bush never left office. The GOP will have de facto control over the nation's politics and agenda. If President Obama goes down the Clinton path of triangulating against his progressive base (as seems likely) then he deserves to be a one-term president.
Obama Wooing Economic Royalists
Norman Solomon: The best way to defeat right-wing xenophobic "populism" is to build genuine progressive populism. In the process, we can draw on the spirit of the New Deal.
Looking Forward
Norman Solomon: Deficit commission co-chairs Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles are pushing scenarios that would undermine Social Security, while all sorts of contorted rationales are in the air for continuing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.
Attention Congress: Fix the Potholes
Tina Dupuy: A politician who is against government is like an actor who is against entertainment. It's ridiculous. Because we hate politicians so much, the only way we can stand inking a bubble next to their name is to pretend they really don't want to do their job.

After 5 Years, 1 Record Label & 40+KRparties later (not counting our multiple weekly events) KR is supper pumped to present KR5: Knightriders' 5 year anniversary party & KRlabel Launch w/ Kenny Larkin. As some of you know KR has been working for almost two years to develop and launch our new Seattle imprint: KRecordings. The time has come and we are planing the official label launch to take place at KR5 – March 9th, 2012 at LoFi Lounge Seattle.
We would like to make this our most outrageous and memorable event to date! So we invite you to join in the celebration and spread the word here on facebook.
Then check out the label!
Kenny Larkin
is distinctly one of the world's most premiere leaders of Detroit techno in the electronic music industry today.
As a producer, DJ and remixer, Kenny has mesmerized crowds and fans across the globe for the last twenty years with his music. Since 1990, Larkin has cemented his name in the pages of dance music history along with fellow Detroit Techno music mates, Derrick May, Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson.
Kenny's list of achievements and discography are groundbreaking to say the least. Highlights include his first full album, Azimuth (released 1994), which was deemed by Street Sound Magazine to be one of the top 20 techno CD's of all time.
His second album, Keys, Strings and Tambourines, released under the mighty wings of Carl Craig's label Planet E was considered by many including Resident Advisor to be one of the most important albums released that year (2008), featuring it in their top 20 essential albums list.
Larkin's thunderous return to techno has not stopped since, with Kenny touring the globe more than ever as part of the 25 years of Detroit Techno celebrations and releasing new records on Planet E, being remixed by Claude Von Stroke and Ben Klock and collaborating with Shlomi Aber on his Be As One Imprint.

George Foreman on Pacquiao's Rise, Mayweather Fight
By Chris Robinson
Former heavyweight champion and long-time HBO color analyst George Foreman is right at home with this week's WBC Convention at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Foreman soaked up the spotlight on Monday morning during the opening ceremony for this week's festivities and was a targeted interview for members of the media at hand.
Still involved in boxing today because of his son of the same name, a 14-0 heavyweight out of Humble, Texas, Foreman insists the sport is as good as ever and keeps tabs with the latest progression of today's biggest stars.
More shocking than anything, says Foreman, has been the improbable ascent of Manny Pacquiao up boxing's weight ladder, as the Filipino has had great success over 140 pounds against a high-profile list of opponents dating back to his December 2008 upset over Oscar De La Hoya.
"That's been the biggest surprise of all, Manny Pacquiao," said Foreman. "He's just come from the bottom and now he is just the man of the sport. He's probably the standard bearer for boxing right now."
Foreman also showed fondness for another talented lefty, Argentina's Sergio Martinez, but feels that he hasn't gotten the desired level of exposure needed to be mentioned in the same breath of Manny.
"He's good too but he's going to have to do some more politicking before his name can be rolled in there with Pacquiao. But he's a good champion and things are going to happen for him too," said Foreman.
As far as the possibility of Pacquiao ever facing off with Floyd Mayweather Jr., Foreman isn't counting on it.
"I doubt it," he stated. "Both fighters are making all the money they want without fighting one another. They're not egotistical enough to want to fight each other. It may never happen."
Foreman was a terror in the heavyweight division in the 70's and proved the doubters wrong by scoring a dramatic victory over Michael Moorer in November of 1994 to again become champion. But never in any of his eighty-one fights did Foreman ever fantasize about the kind of money being discussed in a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, with some numbers indicating that well over $50 million could be on the table for each man.
"Unheard of," said Foreman. "Now, all of a sudden the purses are unlimited. There's no amount that you can say and say that it can't happen in boxing. One-hundred million dollars, it can happen in a boxing match now."

Thomas Drance
February 19 2015 06:23PM
The Winnipeg Jets are reportedly dangling former first-round draft pick Alex Burmitrov in pre-deadline trade talks, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
"He's a restricted free agent and the Jets are now willing to throw him into any trade negotiations as part of the deal," Dreger said of Burmistrov's availability during an Insider Trading segment on TSN Thursday evening.
Burmistrov, 23, is currently playing for Kazan Ak-Bars of the KHL and has managed 10 goals and 26 points in 50 games this season.

February 19 2015 12:00PM
The Winnipeg Jets continue the playoff push as the head to the American capital to face Alex Ovechkin and friends. The Jets have 23 games remaining in the regular season. The magic numbers according to Sports Club Stats are:
The Jets enter today's game still holding onto the first Wild Card spot in the west with a record of 30-19-10, good enough for fourth in the Central Division and fifth in the Western Conference. The Washington Capitals meanwhile sit in the exact same spot in the east with a 31-17-10 record. Both teams enter today with a two-game win streak, although only the Capitals have a winning record over their last ten games.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A federal judge has rejected Theodore Kaczynski's bid for a trial, turning aside the Unabomber's contention that he was forced into pleading guilty.
U.S. District Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. said Kaczynski's claims did not warrant a hearing, and he dismissed the matter.
Kaczynski pleaded guilty in January 1998 to bombings that killed three people and injured 23. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The former math professor argued in recent filings that he was forced to either plead guilty or be portrayed at a trial as mentally ill by his attorneys, which he did not want.
Kaczynski also argued that he had wanted to replace his attorneys or represent himself but was thwarted when Burrell ruled on the eve of the trial that the request came too late.
"Kaczynski's sense of coercion stems from his preference not to be portrayed as mentally ill and his feeling of injustice at being forced to accept a mental defense," the judge said. "This type of personal pressure does not transform a plea into an involuntary act."

Rethinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World
by J. Mark Bertrand
17 used & new
4.0 out of 5 stars
Like A Dinner Table Chat
Oct. 21 2007
This review is from:
Rethinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World (Paperback)
I grew up in a Christian household that analyzed everything. We analyzed ideas in conversations at the dinner table, during chats in the car on the way to town, and in visits with friends in the living room. During these discussions, a belief would be held up to the light, so to speak, and turned over, examined, to see where (or if) it fit into our system, as if it were a puzzle piece that may or may not fit into a half-done jigsaw puzzle. If the discussions in the living room carried on after I was sent upstairs to bed, I'd listen in from the top of the stairs, following the reasoning as well as I could.
So although we never used the term worldview, since it was not commonly used in Christian circles then, I grew up with a basic concept of worldview thinking. When the Christian worldview bandwagon came along and I read a little about it, my first thought was "ho-hum." I'd been examining other people's worldviews and finding them wanting for years, and I wasn't afraid to ask the sort of questions that showed the incoherence of their systems. Yet, while the exercise was helpful in firming up my own faith, I couldn't point to one person who had come over to my worldview, even when answering my questions tied them up in knots as they tried to make a coherent system out of their incoherent one. And as I understood it from my surface level reading on the concept of worldview, the whole point was to show how my faith made more sense than their ideology in order to bring them over to my side. Well, it hadn't proved to be a sure-fire weapon for me!
This leads me to one of the reasons I like Mark Bertrand's Rethinking Worldview: he takes the concept of worldview thinking beyond the area of apologetics (where I believe it is helpful, but less so than some have made it out to be), into other areas of our lives as Christians. His conviction is that "any treatment of the intellectual dimensions of worldview that doesn't lead into a discussion of how to profitably live and speak in this world is incomplete." In order to be valuable to us, worldview thinking must "help make us better believers and doers of the truth."
This book, then, examines worldview thinking in order to take us into areas every Christian should want to go. We are lead as we read to consider a few things we may not have examined previously in the light of a biblical worldview, like sanctification and suffering and even our reading.
Toward the end of the book there is a section that looks at worldview thinking as it relates to Christian imagination and the art that flows from it.It's clear that as an artist himself, this is an area Mark Bertrand has thought through carefully. This section will be of special interest to you if you enjoy creative work, either as an artist or as someone who values the creative work of others.
Style-wise, Rethinking Worldview is much like a chat over the dinner table. Mark Bertrand makes good use of his storytelling ability in raising his questions and making his points, so you shouldn't be bored or struggle to understand as you are reading. If you are new to the idea of worldview thinking and you're a little scared that it will all be too difficult for you to understand, this book is a good place to start. Or maybe you're more like me: You think you've heard it all before and you're a little jaded. I'd be willing to bet that you, too, will find a few things here to make you rethink what you thought you knew.
Twelve Extraordinary Women: How God Shaped Women Of The Bible And What He Wants To Do With You

Ordinary Women Made Extraordinary
Aug. 16 2007
This review is from:
Twelve Extraordinary Women: How God Shaped Women Of The Bible And What He Wants To Do With You (Paperback)
First he wrote Twelve Ordinary Men, a book that contained character studies of the twelve disciples. Based on the success of that book, John MacArthur has given us another book written in the same format, only this time, the twelve people whose lives we read about are all women--women chosen for the important place each has in the story of redemption. The twelve women included are
* Eve
* Sarah
* Rahab
* Ruth
* Hannah
* Mary (the mother of Jesus)
* Anna
* The Samaritan Woman
* Martha and Mary
* Mary Magdalene
* Lydia
Twelve Extraordinary Women is a book I thoroughly enjoyed reading and I learned much more than I expected about the lives and characters of these women. They are all women "who were unremarkable in and of themselves." Rahab was a harlot, Ruth was a very poor widow, Anna was a very old widow, and a list of the descriptions of all of them would go on in a similar vein. What made these women extraordinary, as the subtitle suggests, was God's work in their lives, shaping them into faithful women--women who loved God.
My favorite chapter was the one on Mary and Martha. I have to admit that there have always been things in their story that puzzled me just a little. Honestly, the thought has crossed my mind that poor Martha got a little bit of a raw deal when she was admonished by Jesus. I admire people with the energy to buzz around making sure everything it perfect for their guests. Doesn't someone have to take care of those things?
Serving one's guests, writes MacArthur, is indeed a good thing, but worshiping Christ is of a higher priority: "Nothing, including even service rendered to Christ, is more important than listening to Him and honoring Him with our hearts." He goes on to point out that it is the inclination to make service more important than worship to that makes pietism and liberalism so dangerous, because making good deeds more important than sound doctrine and true worship corrupts the good deeds, since a deed is only good when it flows "from a true reliance on God's redemption and His righteousness."
This little summary of one of the lessons learned from the story of Mary and Martha gives you an idea of the sorts of insights that can be found within this book.
So yes, I recommend this book, because I'm betting you will enjoy reading and learning from it as much as I did. Twelve Extraordinary Women would also make a good gift, since it's an easy read and the subject matter would be of interest to most women.
It's a good thing to be reminded that God works extraordinary things through ordinary women. Seeing how God's character-shaping worked in the women of the Bible should inspire us to love "the God whom they trusted and served," which is MacArthur's own prayer for the readers.
By Faith Alone: Answering the Challenges to the Doctrine of Justification

A Book of Essays
July 2 2007
This review is from:
By Faith Alone: Answering the Challenges to the Doctrine of Justification (Paperback)
This is a book of essays - nine in all (ten, if you count the introduction by Guy Waters) - responding to recent challenges to the historic Reformed understanding of the doctrine of justification by faith alone, concentrating on the New Perspective on Paul and the Federal Vision, but also engaging the classic Arminian position and Mormonism.
As might be expected from a book that consists of essays by various authors, the book is a little uneven. Some essays seem to be written with the interested lay person in mind, and others assumed much more prior knowledge on the part of the reader. In addition, since the essays were originally intended to stand alone, there is a fair bit of repetition of ideas and arguments.
That means there were essays I enjoyed reading, those that were beyond me, and those I just wasn't interested in. The first two essays engage the writings of N. T. Wright. While I found the explanations and arguments in these two chapters very interesting, I don't think I know enough about the issues to judge them. I also enjoyed several essays defending imputed righteousness and the active obedience of Christ, because this is a doctrine that seems to come up in discussions occasionally, and it was helpful to see it defended from scripture. The essays related to the Auburn Avenue or Federal Vision controversy were mostly beyond me. I'm not Presbyterian, and I don't know enough about the issues to even understand the essays.
If you are like me, and a bit of a novice on these issues, you might need a little more background knowledge before you would find this book completely useful, but if you are up on these things, my uneducated guess is that you'll find this to be a valuable book.
Feminine Appeal

Seven Feminine Virtues
June 30 2007
This review is from:
Feminine Appeal (Paperback)
Feminine Appeal is based around what Carolyn Mahaney calls the seven feminine virtues listed for us in Titus 2:3-5:
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled."
Each of the positive characteristics listed in these verses--loving one's husband, loving one's children, being self-controlled, being pure, working at home, being kind, and being submissive to one's husband--is given a chapter of it's own to discuss ways to cultivate that characteristic. I'd say that this little book is one of the ways Carolyn Mahaney carries out the command in the first part of the quoted passage: that older women teach younger women how to behave in a way that promotes the gospel by showing how it transforms lives.
I always come to this sort of book with a bit of apprehenshion, because there are a couple of concerns I have about "how to live" books in general. I'm happy to be able to say that Carolyn Mahaney's managed to walk the tight-rope and avoid these possible weaknesses for the most part.
One concern I have is that the real life examples given in a book of this kind will set such high standards that they will be discouraging rather than encouraging to women who are young and inexperienced. I've always had a bit of a compulsive streak, and I read some books when I was younger that ended up being more of a hindrance than a help because deep down, I felt like I ought to be copying perfectly every example in the book, so I was not satisfied with what was good enough or with what worked best in my situation. That's the reason I'm glad I had at least a couple of real-life mentors, in addition to the books I read, because real-life mentors sometimes have dust bunnies under the kitchen table and children who misbehave, and seeing that helps the perfectionist sort--like me--avoid unrealistic expectations. While Carolyn Mahaney uses herself and her own life as examples throughout the book, she wisely lets us see some of her dust bunnies, reminding us through her choice of examples that these are characteristics that we will spend a lifetime developing, and that none of us shows these characteristics perfectly all the time.
The other fear I have with books like this is that we'll be given firm rules where scripture gives us only general principles. All women are different, with different talents, interests, and circumstances; and the virtues given us in Titus 2 can be lived out in many different ways that take into consideration our particular talents, interests, and circumstances. That's why I like that Carolyn Mahaney used example from various women in various circumstances throughout this book so that the reader can see different ways the principles can be carried out in individual women's lives.
Feminine Appeal gets my recommendation as a book that will be helpful for both young women looking to live out their faith in their lives, and for older women who want to take up the challenge to provide both good teaching and good example to younger women.

A Book Full of Encouragement
June 30 2007
This review is from:
Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye?: Trusting God with a Hope Deferred (Paperback)
Carolyn McCulley has written Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? for Christian single women, particularly for women who remain single beyond the time when most women are married. It's a book full of encouragement--encouraging the single woman to trust God with his plan for her life and to live her life fully for His glory.
I married quite young, so the situation of a woman who's never been married is not one I've experienced. I had to try to imagine what that would have been like, so I'm probably not the very best person to evaluate experientially whether this book is useful for someone living the single life. However, I can tell you that the wisdom found here is grounded in scripture, which tells you the most important thing you need to know in order to evaluate its usefulness.
After establishing in the first three chapters that singleness is a valuable gift from God, and that God is sovereignly working in all things to bring about his good his plan for our lives, Carolyn McCulley gets to what I consider to be the meat of this book: the nitty-gritty of living the life of a single woman for God's glory. And she bases it all in that famous passage of scripture from Proverbs 31--you know, the "Excellent Wife" passage.
Here's how she defends her use of this passage as the guide for the single woman:
"The role described in this passage is that of a wife, but her godly, noble character is what all women should desire. It will serve us in every season of our lives."
And she's right, of course. The passage may be about a noble wife, but what's noble in a wife is what's noble in any woman. The Proverbs 31 qualities are qualities of excellence, desirable for every woman in every situation. For example, the noble woman Proverb 31 is a hospitable woman. In the same way, a single woman can use her home to serve others. The excellent wife of Proverbs is generous with the needy, so the single women, too, can learn to look beyond herself and her own needs to consider how she can help meet the needs of others.
Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? is peppered throughout with interesting stories and anecdotes, many from the author's own life; and thankfully, she's not afraid to tell the stories that make her look less than perfect. All this makes for a lively and engaging read, but one that's challenging and thought-provoking as well. If you're a single Christian woman who's trying to sort through the challenges of "a hope deferred", you'll want to read this book. Or if you know a single Christian woman who needs encouragement, recommend this book to her.

On the Ultimate Purpose of God's Saving Work
June 30 2007
This review is from:
God Is the Gospel: Meditations on Gods Love as the Gift of Himself (Hardcover)
The main point John Piper is making in God is the Gospel is that the ultimate purpose of the gospel it to bring us to God. The various gifts of the gospel--like our justification and the gift of the Spirit, among many others--are necessary steps to achieve this overarching goal of bring us to God himself.
Too often we focus on the gifts of the gospel without putting them in their proper place as things that work toward the ultimate gift of all: God himself. We are a little like children who focus on all of their birthday gifts without seeing beyond the gifts to the people who love them and gave the gifts to them. Of course, we expect our children to mature to the point where they see beyond birthday gifts to the people who gave them; and we ought to expect to grow as believers, too, until the many gifts of the gospel serve most of all to focus our attention on the God who gave them. We want to come to the point where we can say with the Psalmist, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you."
Here's a question John Piper asks in this book:
"If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and with all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven if Christ was not there?"
How you answer this question will tell you something about whether the ultimate purpose of the gospel is what you want most from it. As a tool for helping us see this point, and for goading us on to focus on the ultimate purpose of God's work of salvation, God is the Gospel is a valuable book.
That doesn't mean I didn't have a few problems with it. One of those problems is with the title of the book itself. The reasoning behind the title goes like this: The crowning purpose of the gospel is for us to enjoy God. What makes the gospel good news is that it gives us God himself. Therefore, God is the gospel.
Well, not quite. That's a bit like saying the journey is the destination. The journey brings us to the destination, the whole purpose of the journey is to reach the destination, but that doesn't make the journey equal to the destination.
It's little things like this, bits of not-quite-so-clear thinking that give me a few reservations about this book. I couldn't always follow the thoughts exactly and sometimes I couldn't understand how certain conclusions were reached, and that bothered me. And I regretted that, because I knew that the overall point of the book was important and one that we all need to grasp. However, if you are a Piper fan, if you've read others of his books and enjoyed them, you will probably enjoy God is the Gospel, too, and find it valuable to you.

Seeing the Truth about Ourselves
June 30 2007
This review is from:
Humility: True Greatness (Hardcover)
Finally, a book on every Christian's favorite subject!
Well, I suppose that's not quite right, is it? Most of us don't really want to be more humble. At least we don't want to be more humble unless someone notices how humble we are and congratulates us for it.
C. J. Mahaney defines humility as a realistic evaluation of ourselves in light of God's holiness and our sinfulness. Humility is seeing the truth about ourselves. I think I can say with confidence that there's not one Christian who oughtn't be more humble. When we assess ourselves, we are much more likely to evaluate ourselves as better than we really are, than we are to see ourselves accurately. Our problem is not lack of self-esteem, but too much self-esteem. So this is a book we all ought to be interested in, even though we might find the subject...well...humbling.
This is a short book and a quick read. The first two sections deal with the biblical reasons we ought to be humble and the biblical example of humility that we find in Christ himself. The last section is the largest section of the book, and it's the "how-to" of humility: What can we do to grow some in ourselves and in those we are responsible for.
This last section is where the strength of the book is. I'm not a big reader of "how-to" books, but this is not pop-psychology, but practical biblical advice. For instance, this section examines things like what we can do first thing in the morning to give us a humble outlook, what we can do at the close of the day to remind us of our dependence on God and his grace, and how we can encourage others.
I wish there had been more exegetical examination of the various scriptural texts that deal with humility--like my personal favorite: Philippians 2: 1-11--but that's probably just me wanting a book that's more the sort of thing that I really, really like to read. Practical is good, and Humility: True Greatness is nothing if not practical. It gives us the down-to-earth, bottom-line, nitty-gritty on a quality I need more of, and I bet you do, too.
Work Excellence: A Biblical Perspective Of Work

Rethinking Work
June 30 2007
This review is from:
Work Excellence: A Biblical Perspective Of Work (Paperback)
This book is short, easy to read, and conversational in style, but not shallow. There was probably nothing in it that I didn't already know at some level, and yet I found myself constantly rethinking my attitude toward work throughout the book. It is peppered with biblical stories, and principles relating to work in the life of a Christian are drawn from the stories. Each chapter ends with a few questions to help the reader reflect on how to apply those principles to his own life and work.
The chapter titled Conflict, for example, draws its principles from the story of the fall. Since the fall, our work experiences are marred by the results of God's wrath against sin. Our work is not going to be easy. There will be an element of struggle and futility in it, and we will experience conflict and tension. This is something that we need to accept about our life and work in a fallen world.
Yet we are not left without hope. The struggle within our life and work are temporal things, and they point us to the hope of the gospel.The gospel has no meaning without the recognition of the pain from sin that ignites the anger of God. Our hope is in Christ alone, and not in the absence of pain. We can find comfort in Christ from the suffering we experience in our work, and reconcilitation and forgiveness in the conflicts that arise there can be found in him, too.
Keeping these two basic biblical principles in mind--the fall mars our work experiences, yet there is hope in Christ--Garriott gives us a few questions to answer for ourselves at the end of the chapter, including, "What are the 'thistles' that exist within your work?" and "Are there relationships at your place of employment that need to be addressed with grace and forgiveness?" Finally, we are given a short prayer to pray regarding the effects of the fall on our life and work.
Each of the eleven short chapters in the book follows this same basic format: an examination of the principles, questions to help us think about how we might apply them to our own situations, and a prayer to pray. It's simplicity and subject matter make it a valuable book for almost any believer. Who isn't just a little dissatisfied with their life and work? Who doesn't need a reminder of our obligation to use the talents we have been given in a way that brings God glory? The format would also make it suitable for use in a discussion group setting, using the questions for reflection as starting points for group discussion.
Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth: An Analysis of More Than 100 Disputed Questions

Comprehensive Defense of Complementarianism
June 30 2007
This review is from:
Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth: An Analysis of More Than 100 Disputed Questions (Paperback)
This is some book! By that I mean that Evangelical Feminism & Biblical Truth is about as comprehensive a treatment of the issue of the proper biblical roles of men and women in the home and in the church as anyone could hope to find--856 pages, 80+ pages of which are bibliography and indexes, 8 appendices totaling over 200 pages, and 536 pages of text--all painstakingly documented and referenced.
Grudem argues for the complementarian viewpoint, which holds that the equal value and dignity of the sexes do not mean that men and women have the same God-given roles in marriage or the church. (I would consider myself a complementarian--although not necessarily a studied one--so I was not reading this book as someone whose bias is critical of this viewpoint.) However, no matter what your personal view is--complementarian or egalitarian--if you are interested in this issue, you will find this book invaluable for the careful documentation of the arguments for both sides. I wish everyone writing books arguing for a particular viewpoint were as fair as Grudem is in his representation of the arguments of the other side. In fact, he solicits comments from any egalitarian author who thinks he has unfairly quoted or summarized their arguments, giving an address for their complaints to be sent to.
In the first two chapters of this book, the positive case for the complementarian viewpoint is given. In the bulkiest section of the book, chapters 3-12, Grudem systematically answers the arguments made by egalitarians. If you've heard the argument made, you will undoubtedly find it set out for you in this section, right alongside Grudem's evaluation of the claim. There are 118 egalitarian claims examined in detail in this middle section of the book. Even if you don't read this section clear through from start to finish, you should find it handy to have as a reference, no matter where you hang your hat on this issue.
The two summary chapters of the book contain Grudem's argument that evangelical feminism tends to lead to other liberal positions within a church, and an overview of the viewpoints held by the various denominations and parachurch organizations. He ends the text with some of his personal observations and opinion as to how and why egalitarianism is advancing in the church and what complementarians ought to do about it.
Then there are the previously mentioned appendices, which are almost a book in themselves, and just as interesting and informative as the regular text of the book. They include, for instance, two lengthy works on the meaning of the Greek word translated head. If you've heard many egalitarian arguments, you know that the meaning of this word figures large in their arguments.
To sum up, if this is an issue you care about, then you'll want to read this book in order to make sure you have a full grasp of the arguments on both sides. And your library is lacking if you don't have this book as a reference to draw from. If you, like me, are not a scholar, you'll appreciate that while Wayne Grudem is a scholar--and this is a very scholarly piece--it is still quite readable and understandable for the nonscholar.

A Very Dense Book, But Worth the Effort
June 30 2007
This review is from:
Total Truth : Liberating Christianity From Its Cul: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity (Hardcover)
I hope that my calling Total Truth dense won't scare you away from it, because what Nancy Pearcey has given us in this book is too valuable to avoid just because it's not a quick read. Besides, in this case, dense doesn't mean difficult to understand, only that there's lots to take in.
Why should you care about this book? Why will you find it valuable? Unless you've been living under a bridge in Norway eating billy goats, you've heard the word worldview bandied about lately. We've all got one, you know. What is your worldview? How did you get it? How do you evaluate a worldview? How do you apply your worldview practically and personally? These are all questions that this book will help you answer.
The sort of questions in the study guide are probably more useful for group discussion than for someone just reading through it on their own. However, if you are buying Total Truth (and you should!), I'd suggest getting the study guide edition even if you plan to just read the book by yourself and never discuss it with anyone. I guarantee there'll be a question or two in there that'll get you going and help expand your understanding of the principles in the book.

Foxx and Lawrence bringing Sheneneh and Wanda back
Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence are going old school. The duo are returning to characters they made famous during their stand up days for the new movie "Sheneneh and Wanda."
According to Variety, the movie will find the ghetto-crazy Sheneneh (Lawrence) and Wanda (Foxx) as two modern-day independent women trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time. The idea to revisit their classic characters came after the duo made a parody movie trailer for this year's BET Awards titled "Skank Robbers." To check it out, click here.
Screen Gems is reportedly fast tracking the production so it should start filming sometime next year.
In the meantime, Fox will be seen next in the ensemble romantic comedy "Valentine's Day" and Lawrence will appear in Screen Gems' "Death at a Funeral."

I would find that impossible, you can't be colorblind and be a nuclear submarine technician. Or at least you couldn't while my father was in the navy, I don't know about now. Since he was pretty badly color blind, and so many things are color coordinated, they wouldn't let him do it.

Achromatopsia is extremely rare condition and it doesn't just come alone. People with it have vision loss and photophobia. Usually when person is color blind he/she has inability to see certain color(s), but total color blindness is really rare. I'm not saying he doesn't have that condition, I'm just a bit suspicious.

Love Game
Mandy Moore gets plenty of backhanded compliments about her boyfriend, tennis ace Andy Roddick. "I have never dated someone who is such a heartthrob. It's really weird to be sitting in the stands and hear girls talk about wanting to rip his clothes off," says Moore, 19, who stars in the romantic comedy How to Deal. "Girls are flipping out all around me, and I'm thinking, 'That's my boyfriend.' He is so oblivious to the attention, which only makes him cooler." The singer turned actress enjoys her new role as chief cheerleader. "I knew nothing about tennis until I met Andy, but I love it now," says Moore. "I'm very boisterous at matches. I've had people try to quiet me down, but I like cheering for my boyfriend. I'm very much in love."
Auto Destruct
Drew Barrymore was grateful for the fire-safety lessons she received as a kid after her pants caught on fire during a welding scene in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. "I remembered that school drill: 'Drop and roll! Drop and roll!' " says Barrymore, 28, who escaped injury. It wasn't the only time the actress cheated disaster during the shoot. "I did a car stunt where the harness holding me broke. Hanging onto the hood of a car that's fishtailing at 50 miles an hour isn't funny," she says. "Finally I slid off the car, crying, 'I'm not meant to die!' I was peeing in my pants. It made me reevaluate how far I should take this fearlessness thing."
Cattle Call
Chris Cooper, who won an Oscar for his quirky portrayal of an orchid thief in Adaptation, next stars as horse trainer Tom Smith in the true-life drama Seabiscuit, due out July 25. "He rarely spoke and was always looked at as an oddball, but he was a true cowboy, roping and selling mustangs for a living," says the actor about Smith, who turned the underdog Thorough-bred Seabiscuit into the unlikeliest of champions in the 1930s. Cooper, 52, has had ranch-hand experience of his own. "My father and I raised cattle in the '60s and '70s
in Kansas," says the actor. "If things didn't work out in this business, that's probably what I'd end up doing. It's a great way of life."
The Rat Pick
Dallas Cowboys fan Jamie Foxx claims there's a good reason why people should place their faith in America's Team: "Why do you think we have a hole in the roof of the stadium? It's so God can watch his favorite team play," says Foxx, 35, who hosts the ESPY Awards, ESPN's annual show honoring athletes, on July 16. The comedian also gets psyched about another all-star squad: Sean "P. Diddy" Combs's self-proclaimed new Rat Pack, which includes the hip-hop impresario as Frank Sinatra, Ashton Kutcher as Dean Martin and Foxx as Sammy Davis Jr. "The Pack is closed right now, because we're waiting on Diddy to make choices," says Foxx. "But I have to have women involved." So which ladies would the comic tap? "I'd pick Halle Berry," says Foxx. "Who's another fine one? Naomi Campbell. That'd be it. Wait, did I say Halle Berry already?"

While nowadays it seems a foregone conclusion that the United States capital city is Washington DC, for the first 100 years of the country's existence it was hardly so defined. The location, 10 square miles straddling the Potomac River with portions in both Maryland and Virginia, was established in 1790 with the Permanent Seat of Government Act (recently dramatized by the song "The Room Where It Happens" from the musical Hamilton). But this didn't satisfy all Americans. Over the course of the young country's first century, the idea of moving the capital would come up three more times.
On a recent visit to Washington D.C., we had the opportunity to extensively check out the United States Capitol Subway System, one of the most unique in the world. The exclusive transit system is not exactly open to the public unless you're a member of Congress or a staffer on Capitol Hill. It's also one of the world's shortest – the portion between the Senate to the Russell Senate Office Building is about 1000 feet and takes less than a minute. Riding US Capitol Subway system is mundane operating procedure for Capitol Hill employees, but a fascinating find for the lay people.
Glenn Kaino, Bridge at DC Navy Yard
There's an uneasy tension in Washington D.C. that you can feel palpably on the streets. More than just new buildings going up and cranes dotting the skyline, architecture (or perhaps the uniformity of it) has been a strong signal of the type of change that is en route. As gentrification begins to reach neighborhoods that were thought beyond the reaches of such socioeconomic change, residents are getting nervous.
In many ways, the 5×5 Project in Washington D.C., a 3 1/2 month temporary public art project, highlights this tension and explores it. 5 curators each worked with 5 artists to produce site-specific work in all eight wards of Washington D.C. While the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities sponsored the project, the artists selected their own sites. As such, the locations are ones that the artists themselves responded to in their immersion into Washington D.C., and some of the works clearly reflect the psyche of what is currently happening in D.C. Washington D.C. has clearly supported large-scale public works art part of their ongoing heritage, enabling the artists to install creative works nearly anywhere, including a kinetic sculpture of a hat blowing in the wind that happens just every Wednesday at noon on a street near Federal Center.
We all know the famous 1811 Commissioner's Plan for New York City that laid out the grid system of Manhattan (fairly close to how it is today). There are various scanned versions online and different evolutions of the plan over time, but the original map of 1807 that was submitted to Congress in 1811 is still on file at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. In honor of the 350th Anniversary of New York City on Monday, we spent the city's birthday in the Library of Congress examining the original map. First thing to note: that map is HUGE! Here were some of our fun map finds: (more…)

With public consciousness of cities at an all-time high, planning and design projects have been commanding the imaginations of urbanities in ways unforeseen. On the positive end, more governing bodies and planning agencies are placing higher value on public awareness, information dissemination, and "ground-up" development. There's certainly a long way to go, even in cities like New York City, but below are 10 of some of the more innovative and impactful projects going on across the United States right now. Though some have captured the imagination and support of masses while others hang in limbo, all will affect the lives of many in their wake.
It's obvious that urbanists have a fascination with the subterranean, whether of the macabre nature like the catacombs of the world, or of the abandoned, or simply being able to eat and drink below the city surface. Sometimes though, we fail to think of underground fascinations of the more mundane kind.
While the freemasons certainly played a role in the construction of Washington D.C., the persisting rumor that the street grid and other buildings are embedded with masonic code is likely myth. Nonetheless, it doesn't feel surprising that networks of underground tunnels (and even a subway just for those on Capitol Hill) were built beneath the city. More unique than the existence of the tunnels is how they're programmed. In Washington D.C., they're like underground cities, with all the things you would need from the outside world, moved indoors. Hallways become streets, marked by the newspaper boxes you would normally find at your corner.
Here's a roundup of some of the notable underground corridors beneath Capitol Hill:
