Barack Obama's victory in last week's election was celebrated around the world. But within 24 hours, the speculation began regarding who the heavyweights of Obama's administration will be. (In New Mexico, those questions hit close to home: Will Gov. Bill Richardson be tapped for secretary of state? Will US Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-NM, become the next energy secretary?)
But even before the polls had closed, Foreign Policy Magazine had asked 10 big thinkers from around the world to put together their dream cabinets for the next administration.
The magazine notes: "The next American president will confront a host of potential cataclysms: from a virulent financial crisis to a vicious terrorist enemy, nuclear proliferation to climate change. He'll need his country's brightest minds—not his party's usual suspects."
This week, SFR's print edition presents Foreign Policy's roundup of picks for a dream team to guide the United States for next four years. Additionally, post-election, we asked some big New Mexico thinkers to weigh in on who they would choose for Obama's administration.
Many of the locals' picks have a decidedly western bent to them. Well, why not? As executive director of Think New Mexico Fred Nathan writes: "The conventional wisdom is that every president should have a geographically diverse cabinet. My dream cabinet, however, would be overpopulated with Westerners since this is where most of the most creative and innovative thinking on public policy is taking place. By converting New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada from red to blue, Obama captured the presidency. Mining the West's brainpower would help to ensure that those states stay blue and also ensure his re-election."
And it would sure make things interesting. Do you have ideas for Obama's dream team? Send them to: email them or post them as comments to the complete local lowdown on cabinet picks offered below.
Local thinkers add their picks for Obama's dream team:
Jim Baca is the former mayor of Albuquerque, a former state land commissioner and served as the director of the bureau of land management in the Interior Department under the Clinton administration. He currently is a New Mexico Natural Resource Trustee.
Here are my suggestions for some cabinet appointments. However I must say that many times the Assistant Secretaries and bureau chiefs are just as important in that they are the ones who advise the Secretaries and then make the policies happen.
Secretary of the Interior: Molly Mcusic, President of the Wyss Foundation
She is a former Interior Department Official under Clinton. She has been running a foundation that funds groups all over the west to protect public lands, watersheds, species and wilderness. She should work on moving the Forest Service from the Agriculture Department to the Interior Department.
Secretary of the EPA: Ron Curry-Environment Secretary for New Mexico
A long shot, but no one has better demonstrated an ability to stand up to polluters in the West. He is courageous and does the right thing.
Secretary of State: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson
Gov. Richardson has a certain disarming quality about him when dealing with other countries. He is affable and informed and would insist on diplomacy over bombs. A breath of fresh air. (He would also make an incredible Interior Secretary.)
Secretary of Energy: Rhone Resch, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association
Resch needs to bring the common sense of renewables to the nation's Energy Department. There is no better way to send a message to the 'Lords of Yesterday" in the oil and gas community than having someone pushing aside their influence in favor of clean energy. He should attempt to move all nuclear related issues to a new department.
Karen Heldmeyer is a former Santa Fe city councilor.
I notice that my bias is for smart, results-oriented people who can combine practical experience with a research-based approach to problems.
Secretary of the Treasury: Paul Volcker
What the country needs now in this position is someone who can be trusted by everyone, and Volcker is extremely well regarded by both sides of the aisle. There are any number of others who could serve as his deputy secretaries (like Timothy Geithner or Laura Tyson), and when Volcker steps down after the current crisis has abated, any one of them will have the experience to move up. Not Larry Summers (who 52% of the public doesn't trust).
Attorney General: Elena Kagan
Dean of the Harvard Law School and a scholar with practical experience (she was a deputy counsel under Clinton), Kagen her area of research is the role of the president in formulating and influencing federal administrative and regulatory law. Perfect fit, especially after the excesses of the last administration.
Secretary of Labor: Andrew Stern
Stern has grown the Service Employees International Union to the largest union in the country by a combination of sheer hustle, a disdain for orthodoxy, and outreach to underrepresented groups
Secretary of Education: Jonathan Kozol
A long-time critic of public education in this country, Kozol has most recently been working with teachers' unions to tame the excesses of No Child Left Behind. Let's see how he would improve the educational system if given a chance.
Veterans Affairs: Tammy Duckworth
She currently holds this position in Illinois, where she has done a tremendous job, increasing veterans services. requiring all wounded veterans to be screened for PTSD and closed-head brain injuries, and offering incentives to employers who hire veterans. She could do the same nationally and serve as a great role model for Iraq war vets, wounded vets, and women vets (who are currently woefully underserved by this department).
Carol Miller was an Independent candidate for Congress in the 2008 election and founder and executive director of founder and current Executive Director of the National Center for Frontier Communities
Supreme Court: Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional Rights
One of the clearest thinking and most outspoken attorneys for constitutional law and protecting human rights. Ratner has been a leading voice against US torture policies, racial profiling and for closing the prison camp at Guantanamo. Ratner's recent book The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld lays out the legal brief for violations of international and US law surrounding the war in Iraq.
Secretary of the Treasury: Peter Edelman
Edelman is a dedicated fighter for social and economic equality in the United State. Edelman will assure that bailouts and changes to the financial system provide trickle up economics reducing poverty and the economic crisis facing individuals and families, not the rich and super rich who caused the problems. He has demonstrated very high ethical beliefs, quitting the Clinton Administration over the cruel changes to the welfare system. These changes have increased suffering for poor people and the newly poor, formerly middle class. Edelman's first executive order should be putting the word "poverty" back into the mouths of Democrats.
Secretary of Peace: US Rep. Dennis Kucinich
Rather than adding a new cabinet department for peace, which could lead to Orwellian doublespeak as in "war is peace," the Department of Defense will be converted into a Department of Peace. Diplomatic negotiations and humanitarian aid will be guided by the Department of Peace. Military conversion will create new jobs providing benefits to society in the US and around the world. Solar panels and wind turbines instead of bombs and bombers. Electric cars charged by solar and wind power. Environmental restoration of military installations, among the most polluted and polluting in the world.
Attorney General: Ralph Nader
Set Ralph free to fight corporate crime and restore the rule of law in the United States. Hold corporations and government accountable. End the failed War on Drugs and the incarceration of millions for crimes of poverty and addictions. Return the public airwaves to public control. Restore the First and Fourth Amendments to the Constitution.
Secretary of Health: Oliver Fein, MD: Dean Cornell Medical School and President-Elect Physicians for a National Health Program
Dr. Fein will guide the transition to a world class universal healthcare system with wisdom and a strong commitment to public health. He is a true leader who has never compromised his values and will guarantee equal access to all.
Secretary of Telling the Truth and Working Together: Louis LaRose, professional mediator, Winnebago Nation (Former Chairman), Inter-Tribal Bison Cooperative, and storyteller
This new post is designed to lend substance and make progress towards ending toxic partisanship. Party labels serve primarily to bloat campaign spending to billions of dollars per election. Using humor, LaRose brings people together to focus on the important issues. (Disclaimer, LaRose is a Board member of the National Center for Frontier Communities.)
Court Jesters: The Regressives.
Regressives are people who call themselves progressives despite no progress being made for decades. Capable of rationalizing consistently irrational voting patterns. Nationally known nominees would be a huge group but must include the editor and staff of The Nation, Jim Hightower, Tom Hayden, Bob Scheer, and Amy Goodman.
Fred Nathan is Executive Director of Think New Mexico, a results-oriented think tank serving New Mexicans.
The conventional wisdom is that every president should have a geographically diverse cabinet. My dream cabinet, however, would be overpopulated with Westerners since this is where most of the most creative and innovative thinking on public policy is taking place. By converting New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada from red to blue, Obama captured the presidency. Mining the West's brain power would help to insure that those states stay blue and also insure his re-election.
Secretary of Commerce: Paul Hawken
Hawken leads the Natural Capital Institute in Sausalito, California and is himself an entrepreneur who founded the Smith and Hawken garden supply company and one of the leaders in the movement to create more "green collar" jobs in America. Hawken is also the author of The Next Economy, The Ecology of Commerce and Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution.
Secretary of Education: Joel Klein
Superintendent of the New York City Public Schools. Klein, an anti-trust lawyer (ideal training for understanding the public schools) has been leading a miraculous turnaround of New York's schools by moving power and resources out of the central administrative offices and to the school sites where the actual learning takes place. He was one of the first superintendents in the nation to focus on smaller schools and small learning communities as a way to increase graduation rates and student achievement, especially among low-income kids.
Secretary of Energy: Amory Lovins
Chairman and Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute in Boulder, Colorado, Lovins has been doing path breaking work on renewable energy and energy efficiency since the 1970s and has even designed an ultra efficient auto, "the hypercar." During his career, Lovins has briefed 19 heads of state on energy policy and is the best person on the planet to set a new direction for US energy policy.
Secretary of Indian Affairs: LaDonna Harris
Harris is an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation and Chairman of the Board and Founder of Americans for Indian Opportunity. Currently, there is no cabinet level agency for Indian affairs, but Obama has pledged to create one during the campaign to replace the dysfunctional Bureau of Indian Affairs. LaDonna, a leader in the effort to return the Taos Blue Lake to Taos Pueblo and a pioneer in so many ways, would be an ideal fit for this job.
Secretary of Interior: Stewart Udall
Obama seems to seek out every opportunity to attach himself to Camelot and the legacy of President John F. Kennedy so who better to add to his cabinet than one of the last surviving members of Camelot and Kennedy's cabinet? Udall is, of course, well qualified for the post having served as Interior Secretary from 1961-1969 and having revolutionized the office by being the leading advocate for the passage of several landmark environmental protection laws. This time around he will have his son, US Sen. Tom Udall, and his nephew, US Sen. Mark Udall, to help him.
Secretary of State: Bill Richardson
In its foggy bottom wisdom, the State Department has been aggressively ignoring Latin America forever…to our nation's peril. Richardson, a former UN ambassador and international troubleshooter, would immediately reverse that and would also bring his demanding, results-oriented approach to a bureacracy in desparate need of new leadership and a thorough housecleaning.
Director, Office of Management and Budget: John McCain
McCain has been a lonely and courageous voice in the Congress against earmarking and pork barrel spending. Now that the nation is close to being $10 trillion in debt, it is time for some adult supervision when it comes to the nation's budget and checking account. Obama has said he wants his cabinet to be bipartisan.
Liz Stefanics is a former New Mexico state legislator and will begin serving as an elected county commission for Santa Fe in January.
I do not believe that the US Congress and Senate should be raided or robbed of its leadership and skill. We still need these individuals to lead for the country along with the President. Some individuals outside of New Mexico:
Veteran's Affairs: Patricia Shroeder
Shroeder has a mature understanding of our armed forces and will offer support and respect for our veterans.
Health and Human Services: Howard Dean
Serves as a motivator and change agent while watching out for the masses.
Attorney General: Janet Napolitano
A leader not only in her state but the southwest and among Democrat governors, has handled immigration issues in a humane and compassionate manner.
Supreme Court: Hillary Clinton
The strong woman's voice with experience that would lead the Court out of a conservative mode.
Housing and Urban Development: US Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-DC.
Norton is an established and often overlooked leader who could address homelessness, housing crises, and inner city development.
National Endowment for the Arts: Caroline Kennedy
Family upbringing and connections could bring in large private donations as well as lending a poised social presence
Secretary of Education: Colin Powell
As seen in his career, Powell will speak for his belief even if overridden and would be a good role model throughout the education system.
Many individuals from NM have great talents—a few to consider:
Secretary of State: Gov. Bill Richardson
Richardson has the ability to state goals immediately and negotiate to a success, can remain neutral and objective with other countries until pushed to the decision.
Higher Education or Multicultural Education: Mari-Luci Jaramillo, author and former US ambassador to Honduras.
Jaramillo has higher education experience in New Mexico and Latin America and is highly esteemed by her colleagues.
Environmental Protection Agency or Department of Interior: New Mexico Attorney General Gary King
King is an astute attorney with an eye to the environment, well thought out judgment and opinions.
Surgeon General: Justina Trott
Known to us as the founder and director of Women's Health Services, Trott is nationally known for women's health research and currently is a legislative fellow with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.??
Susan Tarman is co-coordinator Amnesty International Group 122
Secretary of State: Hilary Clinton
She not only has the smarts and experience, but she is known to and has the respect of the world's leaders.
Secretary of the Treasury: Sheila Bair
Chairman of the FDIC, Bair is a non-radical official with impeccable establishment credentials (the Dept. of the Treasury, NY Stock Exchange to name just two) who truly grasps and is not intimidated by the crisis. Her educational writings on money and finance for children and professional achievement are models for the direction this administration is headed.
Secretary of Defense: Sarah Chayes
Ex-journalist, brilliant, has been on the ground in Kandahar Afghanistan, speaks Pashtun and knows many of the players personally. She understands the issues in the region to help achieve resolution. With Ms. Chayes at the helm we will begin to balance our Dept. of Defense with equal parts military might and diplomacy.
Attorney General: Susan Herman
Herman is Centennial Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School and an expert on the Supreme Court, specializing in criminal procedure. She has authored review articles and seminars on the USA Patriot Act, terrorism and civil liberties and federalism. She will do much to get us back on track with our policies on torture, close Guantanamo and rescind the Military Commissions Act (which will shamefully enjoy its second anniversary this month).

Okra: people either love it or hate it. But okra and I have a more complicated relationship. My head tells me that I don't like okra—I find it slimy and strange. But if you present me with a plate of fried okra or a jar of pickled okra, I'll eat it—happily and greedily.
I come late to okra, which belies my Southern heritage, I know. I only started eating fried okra a few years ago (though have since made up for much lost time) and pickled okra is an even more recent addition to my table.
A Texan friend had called me, thrilled that she had found "Talk O' Texas" brand of pickled okra at a New York grocery store. I must have not expressed the appropriate amount of enthusiasm for her discovery because she said, "What's wrong, don't you like okra pickles?"
I admitted that I had never even tried them before, I was so adamantly against the vegetable. She chided me and told me that my attitude needed to change as I was missing out on a very good thing.
It wasn't until last October that I finally took the okra-pickle plunge. I was at the annual Southern Foodways Symposium in Oxford, Mississippi and during a gumbo luncheon, jars of Tabasco spicy pickled okra were offered as gifts. None of my table mates wanted their jars and since I hate to see good food go to waste, I ended up with several jars of the pickles.
That night, after enjoying myself a bit too much, I ended up in my motel room hungry. Having only the pickles on hand, I decided that they would have to suffice. But surprisingly, I found them more than adequate—I actually enjoyed eating them and was thankful that I had more than one jar as I learned that I my friend was correct—pickled okra is indeed a very good thing.
Okra pickles are especially refreshing right now. Cold and crisp, I like to toss them into salads, dip them in hummus or use as a garnish in a glass of vegetable juice. There are still slight texture issues—yes, that's a slight hint of softness in the center of each pod—but I find that the tang of the vinegar and fire of the chiles used in the brine make up for what I normally find unappealing.
And if you see red okra, definitely grab some. It's a bit drier than the green okra and makes for an especially fine pickle—plus it turns the brine a rosy shade.
I'm not going to chide you if you don't like okra—I realize opinions on it are heated. But no matter how you feel, do yourself a favor and at least try these spicy okra pickles. Who knows, you might even change your mind.
Spicy pickled okra
2 pounds okra, stems trimmed
8 garlic cloves
1 cup fresh dill
4 serrano chiles, stem removed 4
2 teaspoons chile flakes
2 teaspoons cumin seed
4 teaspoons salt
3 cups apple cider vinegar
Evenly divide between four sterilized pint-sized jars the okra, dill, Serrano chiles and garlic cloves.
Bring the vinegar and spices to a boil and pour into the jars. Fill up the rest of the jar with water.
Let cool (about half an hour) and then cover and refrigerate.
Will be ready in a day and will keep in the refrigerator for a few months, though they probably won't last that long.
Note: If you live in New York, I bought my red okra from Yuno Farms, which is at different Greenmarkets throughout the week: Union Square on Mondays; Dag Hammarskjold on Wednesdays, and West Village on Saturdays.
Speaking of farmers markets, Serious Eats has produced a beautiful short film about small farmer Rick Bishop of Mountain Sweet Berry Farm, which includes short interviews with people such as chefs Dan Barber, Alex Guarneschell and Tom Valenti, and bloggers such as Cathy Erway and myself talking about why we love the farmers market.

I love love LOVE pickled okra!! Haven't tried pickling it myself, but I'm going to give it a try next time I see some nice looking fresh okra. Thanks for sharing!
- bluejeangourmet said...
oh how I love pickled okra--they are my surely-better-for-me-than-chips sandwich accompaniment of choice.
I'm so glad you posted this because I've been wanting to make my own instead of begging jars from my mother-in-law (who, incidentally, makes the lightest, crispest, most addictive fried okra that might even convert you--I'm working on perfecting her method!)
yay Lisa!

Hi Lisa,
I just had my last serving of Tex-Mex squash casserole for lunch. It was yummy!
I too love pickled okra and have a jar of "Taste O' Texas" (hot) in my pantry/fridge at all times. I've never tried it with humus, though. That sounds interesting. Can't wait to try pickling my own.
Hope the fam is doing well. Thanks again for another excellent post.

I have yet to try pickled okra, but I sure do love Creole okra - kind of like gumbo but with less roux and more tomatoes, a bit on the soupy side.
Found your blog to be one of the best recipe blogs I've seen. I'm a native Texan in Richmond who grew up on practically all the foods you talk about here and Im having a grand time reading your posts - so many memories!
I have a friend in KY who likes to tease me about the different kinds of barbecue and we often joke about how we'll start a new War Between the States if we're not careful...I was grinning so big over reading your post on your pecan pie. What is it about grandmothers taht makes pie so wonderful?? Being prejudiced I happen to think my Granny's pie was the best (she just recently passed away) but that bias is because my family hails from Seguin where the best pecans are grown.
Bookmarked for later reading and use...

I recently moved away from Texas and overstuffed myself on Tx foods before I left. Okra (simply sauteed in butter-my fav way to have it) was actually the very first southern food I found myself homesick for.
For some reason pickled okra has always scared me away though (no clue why), but my aunt sent me with some when I left. This might just be my motivation to try it soon :)
- Tommy said...
Never tried these before, but since I see them more often in my local supermarket no reason not to try this recipe.
I've only used okra in gumbo so now I can be a groundbreaker with my local Toronto foodie pals.
You need to put that cookbook together soon Lisa.
- jim eikner said...
Sorry but fuzz and slime are not characteristics I generally look for in my vegetables. I don't think it was by accident that the pods in the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers resembled giant okra. You can have my portion...
- laura said...
I miss Taste O' Texas okra so much! I can't find them anywhere in Southern California. Luckily I'm getting a quick Texas fix at the end of the month, so I'll grab a jar then. Until Texas, I'll have to give your recipe a shot. I've yet to convince my husband of the virtues of pickled okra; maybe this will do the trick.
- Anonymous said...
One quick question - I probably looked right at it and refused to see it, but was wondering if you've had a post on fajitas or do you plan to have one? I remember eating these down in the Valley (Harlingen/Brownsville) when I was young and the US had no notion of what fajitas were - they were just street food on the border in the 70s. Then Ninfa opened her restaurant and the rest is history.
Homemade chicken fried steak is always the best I think, the restaurant The Black Eyed Pea (not sure if its only Houston based) serves a pretty decent CFS. They also have the best green beans Ive ever eaten. Also, if youre ever up around Marble Falls, I recommend the Bluebonnet Cafe. Good homestyle cooking there. And Cooper's in Llano makes AWESOME barbecue.

I love fried okra but I haven't ever had it pickled. I will have to try this pronto.
- Anonymous said...
OMG! You must be reading my mind. I've been playing with pickling okra for a week or two now and thought no one did it anymore. I keep getting the stuff from the CSA and there's only so much fried and grilled okra I can eat. I've been using the recipe out of Tom Perini's cookbook and its very similar to yours except for the chili flakes and cumin. I was surprised at how easy it is and how good the results are. Thanks for keeping our Texas cooking traditions alive!
- Gabrielaskitchen said...
Love it! Girl, I'm all about the Okra! You scored these at the Greenmarket (fresh) and pickled them...yum. I know what's going on my Saturday morning shopping list.
- denise said...
I've never seen red okra. I wonder if I will be able to find it here in California... I love most pickles, so I'll happily try making some pickled okra. Jen at Modern Beet recently made an Indian okra dish. I haven't tried it yet, but it looked very good. Thanks for the recipe!
- ~Molly~ said...
Oh so timely! We are going to an Okra Festival on Saturday!! Its in Pritchett between Gilmer and Big Sandy if you need to know, lol. I plan to buy lots and lots of okra and this will be perfect to help me use it up.
- Vidya said...
Oh dear, okra...I too have a few issues with it's slimy texture and slippery seeds. My Indian parents slice it thinly and stir fry it with yoghurt, oil and a few spices. Sometimes it's enough to combat the sliminess, but I often still have issues getting it down. From my trips to India, I've discovered that the okra there is naturally a lot drier because of the climate, so that is actually quite pleasant to eat.
- Cheri (aka "The Mom Lady") said...
Oh I just HAD to send this to a friend of mine who considers okra the "veg of the devil" (and he's a minister, hee,hee). He's from NY and lives in Texas making it doubly delicious to rib him about it.
- heidigoseek said...
okra from our garden has given us fried, stewed, okra soup and gumbo. not that we're getting tired of it, but this post came at the perfect time. busch gardens with the kiddos tomorrow. pickled okra the next. yum...
- Heather B said...
I love okra. Fried or pickled...either is my favorite! I grew up in TX eating a ton of it, mainly from my grandpa's garden. I made my first batch of pickled this summer...will have to give this version a try! I doubt it lasts long in my fridge either!
- Elizabeth said...
I am so glad that Oxford seduced you into trying and loving pickled okra. I love it all ways, stewed, fried, and pickled...pitch-perfect garnish for a weekend bloody. But the most exceptional okra I ever saw was from a woman who makes be-jeweled christmas ornaments and jewelery out of drying her summer crop. I'll hook you up with 1-2 if you are interested!
Great Post!
- deceiverofmen said...
Yay! I've been waiting for this post!
Now where's the queso flameado post? ;)
say, do you think a lazy person like myself could make it like ice box pickles and skip the sterilized jars?
- dibear said...
I wish you had posted this a month ago, as I have been putting okra in my freezer for over a month now. I'm an ex-Texas city girl now living in the country with a wonderful garden and growing my own Okra. I'll have to look for seeds for the red variety. I'll definitely be making your recipe. I love your blog. :)
- ToyLady said...
I adore okra, but I have to admit, with my northern upbringing, I'd never even heard of pickling it until right this minute.
Interesting. . . .who knew?
- lisa said...
I do like okra, and these pickles sound fantastic with the serranos! Have to try them.
- Chl said...
Not a fan of okra. Too fuzzy and slimy. I have tried it several times but I just can't get around it. I do wonder if this same technique could not be applied to green beans. One of my husbands aunts makes spicy pickled green beens that are just fabulous.
- tbsamsel said...
My wife will like this.. she wants to pickle okra...
(I found a Moroccan okra/tomato salad recipe last week and made it. I was quite good.)
- Fredericka said...
I love okra and have been pickling it for decades. A friend from Okinawa taught me to fix it sans slime. Bring water to a boil, drop whole (don't trim the ends off) okra in, boil about 40-45 seconds, pour water off & slop some soy sauce over the okra. It is so crisp & not at all slimy. You could add a dab of butter if you just have to. I've been buying the red okra this summer at a local (Brenham) farmers' market. It has a maroon-ish tinge & I was just sure it was developed by A & M, like those Aggie carrots! I've only pickled the green, but will buy some red tomorrow at the market. Meanwhile, I coming down off an Austin College "high" - weekend in Fredericksburg with 5 ADX alums - what a time we had! Thanks Lisa!
- Lynn said...
A question for Lisa, or anyone else. I'm thinking about making these pickles, and doing some green beans while I'm at it (both will be delish in my next bloody), and then canning the lot. Does the pickling liquid have to be hot? I'd like a crisp pickle when all is said and done, and it will have to endure the boiling to seal the jar -- anyone have advice about ways to keep the vegetables crisp? Also, last time I pickled green beans, I used a hot red Thai chili, and that was a great flavor, too. I'm looking forward to trying serrano this time.
Lynn, Oxford MS

Nicole—Isn't it the best? And it's so easy to pickle, too!
Bluejeangourmet—Oh, I don't need any converting for fried okra—I already love it!
Texann—It's surprisingly delicious—give it a try! And I can't tell you how pleased I am that y'all love the squash casserole.
Sharon—I agree, the topic of barbecue must be approached with tact and grace when you're talking to those with dissenting opinions!
Charli—Nope, it's not scary at all if you like both okra and pickles.
Tommy—I know, I know! Now go impress your fellow Canadians!
Jim—It is indeed an acquired taste!
Laura—I hope it does the trick!
Sharon—I have not posted on fajitas but plan to later this year.
Whitney—It's different, but just as good!
Anon—Yes, I am a mind reader!
Garbrielaskitchen—Okra's in season so there's always a ton of it at the Greenmarket.
Denise—Maybe you can find it at a farmer's market. Y'all have everything in California so I expect someone grows red okra as well!
Molly—Have fun at Okra Fest!
Vidya—Your family's yogurt dish sounds amazing!
Cheri—Oh, he's not alone in that thought!
Heidigoseek—Happy to help! Have fun at Busch Gardens.
Heather B. –Nope, these do indeed go fast!
Elizabeth—Seriously? Wow, I have to see this jewelry!
Deceiverofmen—Queso flameado is on the list! And I reckon you could skip the sterilization, just eat them fast!
Dibear—Good luck finding seeds—it's so pretty!
ToyLady—I do believe that you can pickle just about anything!
Lisa—Thanks! Enjoy!
Chi—Yes, you could apply this technique to green beans, if you prefer.
TBSamsel—Oh, good—happy to help!
Fredericka—Thanks for the tip! And that's too funny about A&M—I wouldn't' be surprised if that were the case!
Lynn—That's a good question! I don't boil the jars to seal them (because I eat them immediately), but perhaps if you're sealing them for longtime storage, you wouldn't have to heat the liquid pre-boiling.

My heart actually beats faster when
I see that you have posted a new article. As a retired teacher I am
now able to cruise the internet at
my leisure and your articles are dear to my heart as a Texas woman
raised in the 60's by a mom and dad
with a great garden and a love for good food.
Some of my daughter's fondest memories are of her summers in Marfa, Texas eating the great dishes my mother fixed from her
1 1/2 acre garden and the Mexican food of that region (flat inchiladas w an egg, green chili burritos, and cornmeal battered chili rellenos). So much so that
we will return to Marfa in September for her wedding.
Although we now ranch in south Texas (my husbands home), my daughter and I will forever feel the pull of west Texas and your
articles add to that pull.

I recently did a post on pickled okra, too! I guess great minds think alike.
I've never seen red okra... That was totally new for me and I've been eating okra my whole life!
I'm not so sure about not canning the okra, though... I like to be able to put some away for months later when I really get a craving for them. :)
- Kimberly said...
Love me some pickled okra! Discovered it when I was little, and remembered it when I was pregnant!
- Mark Scarbrough said...
Not like okra?!?! It'd make my ancestors quiver in their boots. I remember growing the stuff in the backyard when I was a kid, going out every day to pick the bugs off it. We didn't even know we were organic. We just thought we were frugal.
Love the pickled okra. Reminds me of my grandmother, her hair plastered to her head with sweat as she canned in the dead of summer.
- Kathleen said...
I LOOOOOOOVE pickled okra. I haven't had since I left Texas 11 years ago. Sometimes living in new england really sucks! Thanks for this info. Will DEFINITELY put it to use!
- Farmer Jen said...
I am not an okra fan. In fact, I laughed out loud when I read the comment about okra resembling the pod people in the original version of the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That movie scared me as a kid and okra kind of scares me as an adult. Slimy pod people. However, when I lived in Texas, I did enjoy frittered okra as long as it was cut in small pieces and very crispy. I have never tried pickled okra. Not sure I am brave enough.
- tejasjeff said...
Love it in my Bloody Marys.
- Mary said...
Are chili flakes the same as crushed red pepper?
And I had a question about boiling in a water bath for long term keeping. Wonder what would happen if the liquid was hot when the jars were lowered into the water. So far my experience has only been with room temperature liquids.
I have used alum dissolved in water to soak cucumber slices overnight to keep pickles crisp before processsing.
This is a definite on my list to try as while we have quite a few brands available locally, none have really impressed me.
- Angie McGowan said...
That looks so delicious! I love okra any way I can get it, even boiled.
- Rita said...
I'm a Texan living in China and I love your blog!!!! I'm wondering if you're talking about the pickled okra that is made in my hometown, San Angelo. It's "Talk O' Texas" not "Taste O' Texas". Oh - how I miss it!
- Olivia said...
I'm never quite sure about okra, but you can pickle and chili anything and I'll try it. My mother used to slice okra and fry it crispy with salt, garlic, onion, and chili. Got rid of the sliminess and made for a truly mouthwatering experience, goes a treat with rice.
- Marjorie said...
It has been years since I last ate okra my daughter had a Brazilian friend who taught her how to make a vegetarian stew with okra. It was delicious but a little slimy.
I will be spending some time in Texas this winter and I will look for the pickled variety. I never would of thought it could be pickled- lack of imagination I guess.I love your picture I didn't realize there was a red variety.
I have lived in Maine almost 11 years and have never seen okra in the markets here. I am sure Whole foods in Portland, ME would possibly have some. I will check it out the next time I'm there.
- tbsamsel said...
I found pickled okra in a Lebanese/Palestinian grocery on Saturday. Tomul Bamiya, it's called. (Bamiya is okra).
I didn't buy any because it was in a huge (half-gallon?) jar. Buying that much of anything can be chancy.
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Anon--What wonderful memories--thank you for sharing! And I could go for a green chili burrito right about now!
HoustonGurly--I need to master that skill!
Kimberly--And that's a perfect time to rediscover it!
Mark Scarbrough--Yep, canning can be hot business but such a pleasure to have this bounty in the dead of winter.
Farmer Jen--You can stick to the fried, that's cool with me!
TejasJeff-Yes, will have to try that!
Mary--Yes they are. If you're going to boil for long-time use, I wouldn't preheat the vinegar.
Angie--You're a true okra lover!
Rita--Yes I am--thank you for the correction!
Olivia--I agree--I'll eat anything pickled. And I'll have to try it your mother's way--sounds good!
Marjorie--That's strange you've never seen okra. I bet WF will have it.
TBSamsel--A half gallon? That is huge!
- Kate Arrowsmith said...
Thanks so much for the post, and so timely with the harvest seasons here in Central Texas! I have been up to my ears in okra the past two weeks with more on its way.
- Miss Meat and Potatoes said...
These look gorgeous Lisa! I'd never heard of red okra before!
- Indian As Apple Pie said...
I've just started visiting this site and I've got to say LOVE the Okra posting. I was just going to put up mine for Okra Indian style on my blog. But, ate it so fast that I couldn't even take pictures! Can you believe my favorite veg. growing up was Okra. I remember picking it at my grandmother's house in Chandighar, India. I have tips on avoiding the sliminess. I'll try your recipe if you try mine! I'll post over the next week! -Anupy
- Spike said...
Love okra in chili. After having and loving Rick's Picks Smokra here in NYC, I've tried pickling it myself a few times but it's never as good - I can't seem to keep it crunchy and a little too slimy. Still tastes nice, but would love any any tips on counteracting those two problems.
Lisa - great blog. Found it randomly looking up "breakfast tacos in NYC." I've been here for 12 years (via Houston) and haven't stumbled upon any breakfast tacos yet. Thinking of chucking my job and opening my own stand!
- FoodTravelDiva said...
I've always been a fan of okras in any form (except raw). Never had pickled ones though, but I bet they're great! I totally enjoyed your post. Thanks for the recipe!
- heidigoseek said...
made these the other day and they are delish! it was a great way to use up some more of the okra from the garden. they weren't all small okra, so i improvised and used the larger ones, too and put them in quart jars. still yummy. what i'm wondering is, is there any way to add more okra to the brine once the jar is empty? i'm thinking not, but have you ever tried this? let me know. thanks.
- Jam said...
ah, I forgot all about these. I love pickled okra. I'm making some this weekend after the farmers' market. Thanks for the reminder.
- KATE! binns said...
Thank you for this blog! I just moved to Texas (Rio Grande Valley) from Vermont and I'm having food culture shock. Your blog gives me hope that I will find good local foods here.. somewhere!
- Lyn said...
When my aunt lived in Germany we sent care packages made up of Cheetos, Rotel, and Taste O Texas picked okra!
And it is funny to hear you say "okra pickles" I have never heard them called that, born and raised Texan, but my 8 year old calls them that. All the time. And boy we better have some okra pickles we he opens the fridge!
- Marjorie said...
Lisa, I thought you might be interested in acquiring the July 2009 #121 SAVEUR magazine. It is a special collector's edition called "The Texas Issue".
It really is wonderful, there are numerous recipes including one for Chicken Fried Steak, and numerous sources for finding ingredients, favorite food items including, pickled okra, top restaurants, and great stories, etc.
I had forgotten that I had bought the magazine while in the airport waiting to fly to San Antonio last july.
You can order back issues if you can't find it. Enjoy!
- The Greasy Spoon said...
Hi Lisa
I liked your post on Okra. Okra is a strange vegetable isn't it? I'm not entirely convinced if I like it that much. I suppose the secret is to undercook it- to avoid the slime factor.
We've just got back from Morocco, and I was surprised to see that they use okra in tagines.
Best wishes
Luke aka The Greasy Spoon
- Ms B said...
All right -- inspired by your post, we made three pint jars of okra pickles over the weekend. We found ourselves with one question -- should the added water be hot, cold, or somewhere in between? We went with hot. We can hardly wait to try them!
We also made pickled jalapenos from the recipe on David Lebovitz's site (except that we sliced them instead of pickling them whole -- better for nachos!). We will let you know how all the pickles turn out!

Hi Lisa!
I just found your blog as I Googled images for "migas." I too, am a homesick Texan - we live in Brazil - and I yearn for my wonderful, Texas comida EVERY DAY!
I'm so glad I found you - and yes, my mouth is watering over those spicy, pickled okra!
- Anonymous said...
On the pickled okra recipe, it says put okra in jars, add brine, fill with water. So, do you fill it halrways with brine and the rest water? Or? How much brine and how much water, in other words, per jar. We pronounced okra: "okrie" ...growing up in Ft. Bend Co. Texas
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Anon--About 3/4 cup of brine per pint jar, the rest of the jar with water.
- Sara said...
My sister brought me Rick's Pick's smoked hot pickled okra a while back from Brooklyn. It was funny because neither of us eat okra, but I was shocked to find I loved it! And I'm really glad to have found your recipe, it's otherwise going to get expensive.
- [æʃliː sowlis] said...
I've lived most of my life in Texas (both of my parents too) so I have grown up eating pickled and fried okra since before I can remember. Hell, that's the only reason why we ever went to Church's chicken. In fact, when I went to college in Missouri and found a jar at the local walmart (unfortunately mild) I was beyond thrilled. Only two girls (Texan and Okie) had ever heard of it, which I remember finding shocking! This was such a huge part of my childhood that it never occurred to me that it might be a regional thing XD

Bruce Springsteen had a novel idea for his tour of Australia and New Zealand. At every tour date, the Boss and the E Street Band played a cover of a song that was originally recorded by an artist connected to the region they were visiting.
In the latest installment of the Boss' "coverpalooza," Springsteen busted out a cover of Lorde's "Royals" on Saturday and Sunday at Mt. Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand that swaps the teenager's modern beatbox sound for an acoustic guitar, transforming the song into a dustbowl ballad while Springsteen refers to himself as "King B."
That followed Springsteen's New Orleans-tinged take on the Bee Gees' 1977 classic disco hit "Stayin' Alive" on Feb. 26 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Once again, Springsteen tackled the cover as the set's opener, armed with an acoustic guitar, but he also let a string section, horns and guitarist Tom Morello loose on his re-imagining of the dance floor favorite.
At that same show in Brisbane, the Boss and the E Street invited Pearl Jam's Edde Vedder up to the stage to bang on a tambourine and sing on a rocking version of AC/DC's 1979 headbanger "Highway to Hell" as an encore.
On a Feb. 23 date at Hope Estate Winery in Pokolbin, Australia, Springsteen and the band got appropriately funky with a cover of Eric Burdon & War's 1970 classic "Spill The Wine."
The previous day at the same venue, Springsteen did another vineyard friendly cover -- this time a cover of Stick McGhee's honky-tonk favorite "Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee."
Back on Feb. 19, Springsteen and company had a new wave flashback with a cover of INXS's 1982 hit "Don't Change" at the Sydney Allphones Arena.
Also in Sydney, Springsteen and the E Street band opened the show by paying tribute to the Easybeats, covering their 1966 signature tune "Friday On My Mind."
We think all these covers are pretty, well, boss and maybe it's about time for Springsteen to put out a covers album. How about you? What's your favorite Boss cover? What song would you like to hear him do?

Simulation Model to Control Risk Levels on Process Equipment Through Metrology in Semiconductor Manufacturing Alejandro Sendón, Stéphane Dauzère-Pérès, Jacques Pinaton
This paper first presents a simulation model implemented to study a specific workcenter in semiconductor manufacturing facilities (fabs) with the objective of controlling the risk on process equipment. The different components of the model, its inputs and its outputs, that led us to propose improvements in the workcenter, are explained. The risk evaluated in this study is the exposure level in the number of wafers on a process tool since the latest control performed for this tool, based on an indicator called Wafer at Risk. Our analysis shows that measures should be better managed to avoid lack of control and that an appropriate qualification strategy is required.» Mehr lesen
Towards a Virtual Factory Prototype Sanjay Jain, David Lechevalier
A virtual factory should represent most of the features and operations of the corresponding real factory. Some of the key features of the virtual factory include the ability to assess performance at multiple resolutions and generate analytics data similar to that possible in a real factory. One should be able to look at the overall factory performance and be able to drill down to a machine and analyze its performance. It will require a large amount of effort and expertise to build such a virtual factory. This paper describes an effort to build a multiple resolution model of a manufacturing cell. The model provides the ability to study the performance at the cell level or at the machine level. The benefits and limitations of the presented approach and future research directions are also described.» Mehr lesen
Hybrid Simulation of Production Process of Pupunha Palm José Arnaldo Barra Montevechi, Elisa Maria Melo Silva et al
This work simulated some alternatives of dynamic allocation of additional human resources in a company that produces various products from Pupunha palm. Its goal was to increase the average amount of trays produced per day in this line through a hybrid application of discrete event and agent-based simulation. Two different decision-making forms were proposed to find out which workstation should have received an additional operator. The first proposal was made on the level of occupancy of the operators, while the second one was made on the queue size. The computational model was operationally validated by comparing its results with the actual production data of the company.» Mehr lesen
Linking Symbiotic Simulation to Enterprise Systems: Framework and Applications Benny Tjahjono, Xu Jiang
Symbiotic simulation is a paradigm that emphasizes a close association between a simulation system and a physical system, which is usually beneficial to at least one of them and not necessarily detrimental to the others. Aimed at extending previous work in symbiotic simulation, this paper proposes a framework of symbiotic simulation that can be used to improve the performance of a production system controlled by an enterprise system.» Mehr lesen
Particle Filtering Using Agent-based Transmission Models Kurt Kreuger, Nathaniel Osgood
Dynamic models are used to describe the spatio-temporal evolution of complex systems. It is frequently difficult to construct a useful model, especially for emerging situations such as the 2003 SARS outbreak.Here we describe the application of a modern predictor-corrector method – particle filtering – that could enable relatively quick model construction and support on-the-fly correction as empirical data arrives.» Mehr lesen
An Agent-based Approach for Modeling the Effect of Learning Curve on Labor Productivity H. Shehwaro, E. Zankoul, and H. Khoury
The labor-intensive nature of construction projects requires proper management and efficient utilization of labor resources. Improvement of labor productivity can enhance project performance and thereby lead to substantial time and cost savings. Several studies focused on identifying the effect of different factors on labor productivity, whereby the learning curve factor proved of paramount importance. Although previous research efforts developed models to represent the learning curve effect using traditional simulation approaches such as System Dynamics (SD) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES), none of these studies used Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) techniques. This study takes the initial steps and presents work targeted at analyzing the effect of learning on labor productivity using ABM.» Mehr lesen
A heuristic approach taking operators' fatigue into account for the dynamic assignment of workforce to reduce the mean flowtime A. Ferjani, A. Ammar, H. Pierreval, A. Trabelsi, Clermont University
In order to cope with the frequent unpredictable changes that may occur in manufacturing systems, and to optimize given performance criteria, the assignment of workers can be decided online in a dynamic manner, whenever the worker is released. Several studies, in the ergonomics literature, have shown that individuals' performances decrease because of their fatigue in work. In manufacturing context, the workers' fatigue impacts the task durations. Therefore, we propose to solve the online workers assignment problem through a heuristic, which takes this workers' fatigue into consideration, so as to minimize the mean flowtime of jobs.» Mehr lesen

NEW YORK — A second inquest into the death of Jewish musician Amy Winehouse confirmed that the 27-year-old English star died of accidental alcohol poisoning.
Coroner Shirley Radcliffe said the celebrity's tragic end occurred from "alcohol toxicity" and was a "death by misadventure," confirming initial reports from October 2011 of a first coroner who was later found to be unreliable, The Associated Press reported. Radcliffe confirmed the death was accidental and that there were no suspicious circumstances.
Radcliffe said a post-mortem examination on Winehouse found her blood alcohol level to be five times the amount permitted to legally drive — a level that proved to be fatal because a person could "fall asleep and not wake up."
Winehouse attracted global recognition for her 2006 album Back to Black, which won five Grammy Awards. But frequent health problems and unpredictable behavior led the gossip world to portray her as a train wreck rather than a musical talent.

unearthed treasures meticulously dug and reworked into bold, earthy jewelry by the brainchild of rework is none other than artisan, toni johnson. since 2006, soulful songstress turned devoted designer continually fed her creative spirit thru melting a harmonious blend of precious metals, raw gems and textiles alike producing an organic fusion of the native wild west meets soulful bohemian wildchild. traveling across the globe and spending time in nature, toni's native home is literally wherever she travels. no boundaries and no territory uncharted can stop this pioneer as she continually sharpened her technical skills as a seamstress, metalsmith, hand-tooling, as well as furthering her education and passion in gemology.
seven years later, rework emerges into an eclectic collection with a wild indigenous vibe reminiscent of artifacts having surfaced from long ago, rediscovered, and are now consistently breaking the mold of uniformity and redefining individuality. the soundtrack of mother earth herself plays out in each collection, ranging from the 'down home' bluesy notes in the distressed leather medicine bags and pouches to the saturating soulful feel of bold, ethnic stone necklaces and warrior arm cuffs to the simple sweet sounds played thru delicate earring dusters and crystal clusters.
rework is a rare jewel in the fashion industry not only because of its stance on preserving our Mother Earth by using recycled, sustainable materials whenever possible but also fueled by toni's passion to educate the masses on the healing properties and purposes of each stone and crystals used.
rework prides itself in providing superior handmade goods designed with the best quality materials and stones unearthed, personable and friendly customer service and satisfaction.
already having a firm foundation of a loyal, boheme tribe nation by its side, the g.e.m is quickly spawning into a global cult following, as it sings to the free-spirited souls of those craving the raw nature the g.e.m delivers from 'the gifts Earth makes' for us.

SNOW, MICHAEL: 2 Radio Solos
Made in 1980 and originally released on cassettes in 1988 these two pieces feature unmediated and unedited performances by the radical film-maker, visual artist, musician and national treasure Michael Snow, on a 1962 Normende radio. A frequent feature of '60s experimentalist music, the radio is rarely used as a solo instrument; I can think of no other record like this, making it an important document, if a relatively late one. Virtually no speech material appears and obvious shortwave scanning (as in Kurzwellen) is also avoided. An important document and it works on several level. Gallery release, short supply.

Not to belabor the point, but when I think about it, Hofstra does also have a nice computer lab and several quiet conference areas with equipment for both broadcasting and receiving over the internet. We could broadcast over google plus or skype, and everyone who couldn't attend could join us via a large projector screen. There's also an on campus radio station that's very well stocked were there an interest in recording a podcast. All we would need to bring is a laptop. I imagine both the connectivity, and the loaning/cheap rental of dorms are common on campuses in the summer.
Something to consider. These are just the things that spring to mind when I think of affordability.

Science of hope subject of first Teachers College lecture at Emporia State UniversityMarch 27, 2013
Hopeful thoughts and behavior are crucial for well-being and success, regardless of income level or IQ, according to Dr. Shane Lopez, a positive psychologist and the world's preeminent expert on hope. Lopez, a Gallup senior scientist and business professor at The University of Kansas, shares the findings from his new book when he delivers the inaugural lecture in The Teachers College Lecture Series at Emporia State University on Monday, April 1.
"Making Hope Happen: Create the Future You Want for Yourself and Others" (Atria Hardcover, $26) was published in early March as a blueprint for using the power of hope in every area of life and communicating that hope to others.
Nearly all students in Grades 5 through 12 — 95 percent — say it is likely they will have a better life than their parents. In a separate Gallup poll, however, half of U.S. adults age 18 and older say they doubt today's youth will have a better life than their parents.
Lopez, the chief architect of the Gallup Student Poll, which measures the hope of hundreds of thousands of students each year to determine how hope drives well-being and achievement, has found that a group of typical high-hope students scores a letter grade better on a final exam than their low-hope peers. In another example, a group of high-hope salespeople sells as much product in six days as their low-hope colleagues do in seven days.
Copies of "Making Hope Happen" are for sale now in the Memorial Union Bookstore on the Emporia State University campus. Lopez will speak at 7 p.m., Monday, April 1, in Webb Hall of the Memorial Union. The lecture is free. A book signing is scheduled after the lecture, and books will be available for purchase.
In addition, representatives of nearly two dozen private and public Kansas schools are attending the lecture and will receive complimentary copies of the books signed by Lopez. Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, president of Emporia State University, and Carol Strickland, executive director of the National Teachers Hall of Fame, will assist Lopez in handing books to the school representatives.

Now that the New Mexico Highlands University Board of Regents has approved going forward with the acquisition of the College of Santa Fe, we can rest easy, right?
Highlands President James Fries' enthusiasm is only bested by CSF President Stuart Kirk's. Every missive from these administrators is a heartbeat of hope. A few legislative hurdles, a $35 million bailout (modest by today's standards) and oak trees and ivory towers will be sprouting off of St. Michael's Drive faster than you spell incompetence.
It's too bad that one oafish move after the next makes it increasingly difficult to actually care.
Even though the community has been asked—belatedly—to wake up and cherish the noble and storied College of Santa Fe, we've never been told how the financial trouble started. It's not like the private school has said, "Hey, we've got nothing to hide—take a look at our finances!" That coy silence, of course, breeds suspicion. We've all seen CSI: We know how to spot the guilty. But we've also watched the news; there are ways out of financial trouble, especially for the guilty.
It's the failure of vision, it's the pervasive soul sickness more than the money that has bred concern regarding CSF during the past year. Now, with each passing episode of minor disaster, the thing is snowballing into an epic-enough wreck to spur apathy about it. Like I said, we've seen the news and we know how to tune out the world's worst. Things are too screwed in Gaza for us to care. This is America: When the going gets tough, our eyes glaze over.
Of course, our best attribute as Americans is that we're likely to actually rise up and offer assistance when it's openly requested. Hurricanes, Tsunamis, you-name-it: When governments fail to provide, the American people are at the top of the donor list. This is doubly true for soft, emotional Santa Fe. Call us woo-woo if you like; we can't help but roll up our sleeves or peel open the check book when asked.
Problem is, CSF has never asked. Oh, I'm sure they've asked their board of trustees and an extended circle of people who are sick of being pestered, but Santa Fe, in general, has never been asked; I've never been asked. The school has remained tight-lipped and obsessively, pointlessly secretive while sinking into a nasty quagmire.
Now, The Screen at CSF is slated to be closed. Its director, Santa Fe's most respected film junkie, Brent Kliewer, offered to work the spring semester without salary. No dice. He offered to raise ticket prices, to reduce screenings, anything to break even. Sorry, pal.
Respected actress, Academy Award winner, Santa Fean and devotee to the city's art-house cinema scene—especially The Screen—Ali MacGraw didn't know about the impending closure until she read about it in the
"It's so shockingly shortsighted," MacGraw tells SFR, "I don't understand what's happening. For anyone to fail to understand the cultural vibrancy and how critical that theater is to both the students and the community is just incomprehensible to me."
Rumors broke out last week that MacGraw—or MacGraw and a select group of donors—were going to step in and save The Screen. That's not the case, MacGraw says. "When I heard about the closure, I called [CSF Moving Image Arts Chairman] Jonathan Wacks right away and asked what I could do. But I'm still waiting to hear. In the meantime, I just want to say that I've lived in LA, I've lived in New York, and no place has independent film curating like Santa Fe does, and much of the credit goes to Brent Kliewer and the The Screen. It is fair to say that I'll do whatever I can to help, and I know I speak for a lot of Santa Feans when I say that."
There's evidence—Web sites, recruitment material, slick little 'zines, students hard at work—that supports the notion that CSF is an art school, but the empirical truth of it is absent in terms of administrative action. We—as in We the Community, We the Citizens of New Mexico, We the Voters and We the Taxpayers—are meant to believe in the value of CSF as a center for education and culture, as a crucible and a propagator of ideas and to assume liability for its care and maintenance.
A school, unlike a generic company, is not made attractive to buyers solely because of its lean, tight budget. If a school isn't a living center of knowledge and culture, it's just wasted real estate.
There's talk of opening The Screen again next fall. But anyone who knows Kliewer's history knows he might just take his program elsewhere before then. Hello community college?
Obviously money is tight, but no one wants to rescue a cultural void. The administration needs to step up and match the soul that its students express if it wants CSF to be valued in this community. Or the administration needs to get out of the way.
Now that the New Mexico Highlands University Board of Regents has approved going forward with the acquisition of the College of Santa Fe, we can rest easy, right?

Kansas Business Hall of Fame announces 2011 inducteesApril 5, 2011
One man credited with stabilizing Ford Motor Co.'s financial position at the start of the 21st century and another who saw the potential of connecting Texas cattle with Kansas railroads in the 19th century will be inducted this summer into the Kansas Business Hall of Fame at Emporia State University.
Alan Mulally, president of Ford Motor Co., and the late Joseph G. McCoy, who developed the Kansas town of Abilene as a principal shipping point for Texas cattle coming up the Chisholm Trail, will be recognized at the KBHF induction ceremony Thursday, June 29, at Butler Community College in El Dorado.
Gov. Sam Brownback will attend the ceremony to recognize these two men who have added to the business community's prestige and growth. This is the 23rd year for the Kansas Business Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The Kansas Business Hall of Fame is located at Emporia State University. Business leaders selected for the KBHF are widely known for their contributions to Kansas, and are recognized as role models. The KBHF recognizes historical contributors and present-day leaders who have made private enterprise work in Kansas and throughout the country.
Previous inductees include such prominent Kansans as Pizza Hut founders Dan and Frank Carney, Clara and Russell Stover of Russell Stover Candies, Don Hall of Hallmark Cards, Clyde Cessna of Cessna Aircraft Co., Walter Chrysler, founder of the Chrysler Corp., and William Allen White, entrepreneur and Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of the Emporia Gazette.
The only program of its kind in the state of Kansas, the Kansas Business Hall of Fame serves as a chapter of the American National Business Hall of Fame.

Emporia State helps high school students explore teaching careersJune 11, 2012
Kansas high school students are getting to experience what it takes to be a teacher at the Kansas Future Teacher Academy in Emporia June 10-14. The academy consists of 23 Kansas high school students and is being held on the Emporia State University campus.
This is the 23rd year for the KFTA which is hosted at Emporia State University; a separate academy is held at Dodge City Community College. For the first time, students will combine on Thursday morning for the days' events, including a forum with National Teachers Hall of Fame inductees and listening to national education expert, Harry Wong.
The KFTA is coordinated by the Jones Institute for Educational Excellence at Emporia State University. The academy is funded in part by the Kansas legislature.
Students are accepted into the academy based upon their academic standing, involvement in school and community activities, and interest in exploring a career in teaching. Participants will be involved in numerous activities during the week, including those centered on opportunities in education, problem-solving and leadership skills, personal goal setting, and technology in education.
They will tour the National Teachers Hall of Fame and will get to meet 1994 NTHF inductee Rich Ruffalo. Besides being a former teacher, Ruffalo is a track and field athlete who set new world records in the Paralympic Games after losing his eyesight.

text: From Cape Town to Lilongwe, four photographers on routine news assignments in major southern Africa cities were assaulted by security officials in the past two weeks. The details differ, but the heavy-handed actions in each case reflect a belief among those responsible for security that they are above the law and not publicly accountable. These recent attacks in southern Africa also highlight a wider phenomenon: Every day, somewhere in the world, news photographers are subjected to physical abuse by security and public officials who wish to suppress or control the powerful message delivered by images.
