Every so often, I have one of those horrifying little experiences that leads me to question my firmly held belief that most of Freud's thought is utter nonsense.
Author: Nate Oman
I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah (autobiographical blogging here), and attended Brigham Young University from 1993 to 1999. Between 1994 and 1996, I served in the Korea Pusan Mission. While at BYU, I mainly studied political science and philosophy. (I was lucky enough to take several classes from T&S's Jim Faulconer.) I also took just enough economics to get myself in trouble. After graduation, I married the fabulous and incredible Heather Bennett (now Oman) and worked on Capitol Hill for Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) while Heather finished graduate school at George Washington University. Beginning in 2000, I attended Harvard Law School, escaping with my JD in June, 2003. After practicing law for awhile, I became a law professor at William & Mary Law School. Somewhere along the line, Heather and I managed to have a son and a daughter.
"Sir, I have come to ask for your daughter's hand. Nice pajamas."
Julie's post on courting brings up an interesting question that I have, thankfully, only struggled with once: Should you ask a father's "permission" prior to proposing marriage to his daughter?
Of Fathers, Compost, and the Resurrection
Thanks to a pile of rotting garbage, I was truly happy and contented for the first time in quite a while this weekend.
What Does God Smell Like?
I like smells. I sniff my wife when she is not looking. (It really annoys her.) I came home from work late tonight and went in to look at my sleeping son. I bent down and kissed his brow and drank in the wonderful smell of a clean and sleeping little boy. For me smell is the most powerful trigger of memory. In short, I think that our noses are under appreciated organs and that smell is a big deal. So what does God smell like?
A Very Cool New Blog
Those wacky Mormons at Harvard Law School (and some that used to be) have started a new blog Harv. L. Saints (for those who missed the geeky law joke in the title, Harv. L. Rev. is the traditional abbreviation of the Harvard Law Review, the greatest law journal of all time, since followed by many knock-offs). The introductory posts include an attack on big firm practice by a defensive Mormon liberal (HLS abounds with defensive Mormon liberals. It is one of the things that I miss. They are so dang cute!) and an analysis of Intellectual Irreverence.
A Legal Primer on Same Sex Marriage
As Kaimi has already pointed out, today the San Francisco County Superior Court declared that Proposition 22, which defines marriage exclusively as a union between a man and a woman, unconstitutional under the California Constitution. My point in this post is not to open up a debate about same sex marriage, but rather to explain the legal issues in this — and other state cases — so that non-lawyers can understand what is going on in these opinions.
A Letter to a Righteous Gentile
The following is the (modified) text of a letter that I recently sent to a friend. I have no intention of revealing who he or she is or of posting his or her reply, but in the letter I ask some questions that might be of interest to the readers of this blog. I am certainly interested in your reactions.
Mormon Doctrine and the Path of the Law
Margaret Toscano's recent remarks at UVSC have garnered a few bloggernacle links and generated an interesting discussion at DMI. I missed her remarks, but I did read her paper from a couple of issues ago in Sunstone, and was invited to respond to it here in a long ago comment. My response — not surprisingly — is disciplinary snobbery. I think that Toscano should go to law school.
A Powerful New Blog
She-who-must-be-obeyed (and some co-conspirators) have started a new blog (http://mommywars.blogspot.com) entitled The Mormon Mommy Wars. Here is the mission statement, from She-who-must-be-obeyed:
The Church Has Already Written a Modern English Version of the Book of Mormon
The first installment of Phillip Barlow's excellent 12 Questions raises the interesting question of whether the Church will ever produce a modern language edition of the Book of Mormon in English. The answer is that it already has.
Mormons and the Law, an Email
Yesterday, my father, who is a currator at the Church Museum in Salt Lake City, asked me to respond to an email that he had recieved from a young man that he had met through his work who was investigating the Church. The young man had heard his LDS girl friend declare that Mormons believe that one should always obey the law, but the young man had heard something about Mormon resistence to polygamy in the 19th century and thought that Mormons had taught that Mormon law always trumped Gentile law. What follows is the email that I wrote to him:
The Problems of the Great Apostasy
One the bed-rock doctrines of Mormonism (to the extent that we have any bed-rock doctrines) is that the church set up by Christ fell away from the true gospel, lost its priesthood authority, and slipped into apostasy. It seems to me that we have two fundamental problems with the doctrine of the Great Apostasy.
More Nibley Memorials: Online Articles
As a Nibley memorial, BYU Studies has created a page with links to free down loads of Nibley's BYU Studies articles. Sunstone has a similar page set up. Also, BYU has set up a kind of electronic guestbook for Nibley. They are inviting people to send in their messages of appreciation to hughnibley-at-byu.edu. My understanding is that the messages sent to this address will be compiled and sent to the family.*
From the Archives: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Elder McConkie
I don't think that I am alone among Mormons in having had very strong reactions to Elder Bruce R. McConkie. My sense is that his theological influence is on the wane, although I understand he continues to be very popular amongst some CES types. A while back, I blogged on my own process of making peace with Elder McConkie. (continue to original post…)
Simony and Kidneys
I think that people ought to be able to sell their kidneys. Especially poor people.
In Memory of the Metaphysical Elders
Lost in all of the buzz about the Bloggernacle Awards (I was tempted to make a big acceptance speech until I realized that I got only 21 of the votes cast for the category I won, meaning that the vast majority of the voting public was against me) was an interesting set of comments asking about which blog could claim the honor of first Mormon blog.
A Snap Shot in Numbers
OK. I know that this will mark me as a total geek, but I recently came across a copy of Census of 1850, which is the first census with information on Utah. The numbers provide a fun snap shot of the Mormon commonwealth three years after its founding.
12 Questions with Senator Robert F. Bennett
Our next installment of the 12 Questions series will be with Robert F. Bennett, the junior Senator from Utah. Senator Bennett, a Republican, was elected to the Senate in 1992. As Assitant Majority Whip, he is a member of the Republican leadership. Prior to his election, he was a business man, PR executive, lobbyist, and Congressional staffer. His own father, Wallace F. Bennett, served as Senator from Utah in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. He served his mission in Scotland, is a former bishop, and currently attends the Arlington Ward of the McLean, Virginia Stake. Senator Bennett has agreed to discuss Mormonism and politics. Please post your questions.
LDS Law Students' Conference: Updated Schedule
For those interested, here is the final schedule for the LDS Law Students' Conference
Contention and Argument
The Book of Mormon has a number of not so complimentary things to say about contention. Generally speaking, I have heard this interpreted as an admonition to be nice and change the subject if anything controversial comes up. My problem with this, of course, is that I am not especially nice, and I like controversy.
The Evening When Mormons Could Once More Become Americans
I have been reading Kathleen Flake's excellent book on the Reed Smoot hearings, and it has me thinking Smootish thoughts.
LDS Law Students' Conference This Week in NYC
For those in the New York City area this weekend, you have a chance to come and heckle Kaimi and I in person.
Superheros and the Sacrament
This evening, my wife (aka She Who Must Be Obeyed) and I were having an interesting discussion about the topic of her forthcoming Relief Society lesson. I thought that I would improve the average quality of the posts here by passing on her thoughts and questions. She writes:
Toward a Theology of Supermarkets
If you are looking for a morally, philosophically, and theologically fascinating place, I can think of few locations in contemporary life that can compare to the supermarket.
Mormon Resistance to the Government
Consider two different Mormon reactions to state-sponsored repression: the anti-polygamy crusade and Mormons in East Germany.
Finding God in Chess and the Appellate Brief
When my professional life is going well it consists of reading and writing appellate briefs. Fortunately, this is not nearly as pathetic as it sounds.
From the Archives: Has Mormon History Taught Us Anything?
Times & Seasons has now been around for more than a year and in that time our readership has gone from a dozen or two visitors a day to somewhere between 1500 and 2000 visitors a day. Hence, there are some early posts that I suspect many readers never saw. Here is one post from those early days, that I think some of our new readers might be interested in. (continue to original post…)
The Failure of Times & Seasons or the Danger of the Daily Me
With the launching of Millennial Star, it now looks as though there are two group blogs that have more or less spun off from Times and Seasons, one of which tries to position itself to the "left" of T&S and one of which tries to position itself to the "right" of T&S. Or so it seems to me. Both blogs include bloggers who also blog at T&S (traitors!). Does any of this mean anything?
Seaweed, Fermented Cabbage & the Spirit of God
I find that in those dark times of the soul when I need peace and a nearness to God, I turn to seaweed and fermented cabbage.
Joseph Smith, Justice Frankfurter and the Great Writ
It is time for the post that you have all been waiting for, the one of the place of Mormonism in habeas corpus jurisprudence.

Republican FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai Condemns 'Net Neutrality' Ruling. Among those in Washington who disagree with the Appeals Court's 2-1 ruling defining broadband as a common carrier utility service is Federal Communications Commissioner Ajit Pai who states, "I am deeply disappointed by the DC Circuit's 2-1 decision upholding the FCC's Internet regulations. For many of the reasons set forth in Judge Williams' compelling dissent, I continue to believe that these regulations are unlawful, and I hope that the parties challenging them will continue the legal fight. The FCC's regulations are unnecessary and counterproductive. Indeed, as Judge Williams put it: 'The ultimate irony of the Commission's unreasoned patchwork is that, refusing to inquire into competitive conditions, it shunts broadband service onto the legal track suited to natural monopolies. Because that track provides little economic space for new firms seeking market entry or relatively small firms seeking expansion through innovations in business models or in technology, the Commission's decision has a decent chance of bringing about the conditions under which some (but by no means all) of its actions could be grounded—the prevalence of incurable monopoly.'"
Singer Bo Bice Guest Hosts on WYAY, Atlanta. Atlanta news/talker WYAY "NewsRadio 106.7" welcomed singer Bo Bice to its airwaves as part of its weekly Casting Call Atlanta program.

CBS Radio News Icon Harvey Nagler to Co-Moderate 'Talk Rumble' at TALKERS 2016: Bridging the Generations. In what promises to be one of the most interesting and exciting editions of the "Talk Rumble" in years, CBS Radio News VP and recipient of last year's TALKERS Lifetime Achievement Award, Harvey Nagler, has agreed to serve as co-moderator with Michael Harrison of this year's debate – a traditional component of the talk media convention. The "Talk Rumble" is the ever-popular session at the annual TALKERS conference in which a panel of diverse, highly opinionated talk show hosts engage in a lightning-fast face-off on the hottest issues of the day. As TALKERS VP/executive editor Kevin Casey explains, "The Talk Rumble is the only session at the convention in which actual public policy issues are discussed in depth. It is a talk show, by talk show hosts, for the talk show industry… and it gets wonderfully wild, not to mention extremely fun and entertaining! Plus it is a marvelous showcase for these fascinating characters to display their talents." Casey continues, "This year the Rumble features a heavyweight lineup of hosts representing a spectrum of nuanced differences across the spectrum of ideology and opinion." Rumblers include (in alphabetical order): Howie Carr, Howie Carr Radio Network; Thom Hartmann, WYD Media; Brian Kilmeade, Fox News Radio/Fox News Channel; Sid Rosenberg, WABC, New York; Mark Simone, WOR, New York; Doug Stephan, Stephan Multimedia; Larry Young, WOLB, Baltimore; and John Ziegler, Envision Networks. Michael Harrison states, "This is obviously a tough event to moderate, it moves very quickly, requires meticulous fairness and neutrality, tough questioning, a solid knowledge of the issues — and I am delighted to have a broadcast journalist of Harvey Nagler's experience and reputation at my side as we navigate what promises to be nothing short of a heart-pounding, verbal thrill ride! By May 20th, the election conversation will be so hot that it alone guarantees we'll have a treasure chest of topics to bang around." The Talk Rumble is just one of a power-packed day of non-stop events that will take place at TALKERS 2016: Bridging the Generations set for Friday, May 20 on the campus of Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. As in years past, the event, the 19th annual installment of the talk media industries' longest-running and most important national convention (open only to media professionals), is nearing an early sellout.

Nationally syndicated talk show host Mike Gallagher found himself in the middle of an unannounced protest against GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump at Grand Central Station in New York City. He quickly began documenting the event with his phone and posted it to Facebook and Twitter. Salem Radio Network VP, news & talk programming Tom Tradup says, "In yet another sign that 'terrestrial' radio needs to embrace every available platform to maximize its reach to listeners, Mike Gallagher was in the thick of an unruly mob Thursday evening as the streets of midtown Manhattan erupted. As thousands of anti-Donald Trump protesters rallied across the street from the Grand Hyatt Hotel where Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich were attending a black-tie fundraiser, Gallagher brought the breaking-news action to his listeners via video posts on Facebook and Twitter." Gallagher adds, "The news happens 24/7, so talk radio needs to break out of self-imposed three-hour, on-air restrictions and plug-in our most loyal listeners while events like tonight's protests are really news, not just tomorrow's headlines." See Gallagher's video here.

Cumulus Reports Q4 and 2015 Full-Year Numbers; Net Revenue Dipped 7.5% in 2015. The net revenue numbers for Cumulus Media were not pretty but there was no expectation that they would be. The company's net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $308.8 million – down 6.2% from the same period in 2014. For all of 2015, net revenue was $1.1 billion; that represents a dip of 7.5% compared to all of 2014. Other fourth quarter numbers reveal big drops in the digital sector (- 42.7%) and in political advertising (- 78.3%). However, broadcast advertising was relatively flat (- 0.5). Breaking that down further, local advertising was flat (- 0.6) but national advertising was off 10.5% and network advertising was down 2.8%. New Cumulus CEO Mary Berner was brutally frank about the state of the company she's been leading for five short months. She told investors during yesterday's conference call, "As you can see by the continued underperformance we experienced this quarter versus our peers, we have a lot of work to do to stabilize the business. We are organizing that work around four foundational issues which I believe are responsible for our underperformance, and I will give you some context for the moves we are making to correct Cumulus' trajectory. First, a well-constructed operational plan wasn't or couldn't be executed at Cumulus due to a lack of management tools and information, as well as a misalignment of authority and responsibility across many functions. Second, the company had a corporate culture characterized by a lack of focus, accountability, and collaboration and under-investment in human capital which collectively resulted in significant turnover and economic leakage. Third, revenue was meaningfully impacted by multi-year declines in ratings across the entire platform in part due to a command and control operating strategy that often ignored local market dynamics. And finally, a substantial amount of leverage on the balance sheet has reduced the company's capital flexibility while increasing the pressure to execute in operational turnaround quickly. Our operational turnaround strategies thus are organized around these issues and are as follows; enhanced operational blocking and tackling, institute initiatives to improve the company's culture and drive ratings growth."

Cumulus/Westwood One Star Mark Levin Continues to Gain Syndication Steam. Dubbed "The Great One" by Sean Hannity, Cumulus/Westwood One syndicated host Mark Levin continues to grow in stature as one of the elite stars in the talk radio industry. Levin, who has written a number of best sellers and is respected as an outstanding constitutional attorney and scholar, has added over a dozen new stations to his affiliate roster of 300-plus in the last quarter alone including KRLA, Los Angeles; WPGP, Pittsburgh; WREC, Memphis; WRVA, Richmond; KTSM, El Paso; KWSX, Stockton; KFIV, Modesto; WBUV-FM, Biloxi; WPGG, Atlantic City; WTKS-AM, Savannah; KWHN, Ft. Smith; WDAK, Columbus, GA; and WFEA, Manchester, MA. According to Michael Harrison, "Levin doesn't always get the credit he deserves as the true heavyweight he is – but the numbers don't lie. He has one of the largest audiences of all the political news/talkers in America and is positively adored by the millions of individuals and organizations that make up the heart of the fundamentalist, Constitutionalist core of the conservative movement." Levin is ranked by TALKERS as #6 on the Heavy Hundred (the 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America) and tied with Glenn Beck as the fourth most-listened-to radio talk show host in the nation.

iHeartMedia Recognized at Festival of Media Global Awards. Two honors are bestowed upon iHeartMedia at the Festival of Media Global Awards 2015 – a media industry event that recognizes innovation and leadership in the global advertising field. The awards ceremony took place on May 12 at the Rome Cavalieri in Italy. iHeartMedia was honored with the "Best Media Vendor of the Year" award, which recognizes the creative efforts of a media owner to connect advertiser clients with their audiences, for its work with Diet Coke and Taylor Swift. The multi-platform campaign simultaneously launched Diet Coke's "Get a Taste" advertising campaign and Taylor Swift's 1989 album. The program generated approximately 500 million press impressions and 200 million on-air, digital and social impressions for Diet Coke. Taylor Swift's album 1989, predicted to sell 800,000 units before the iHeartMedia campaign, sold nearly 1.3 million albums in just the first week, and became the No. 1 best-selling album of 2014. iHeartMedia was also named the Silver Winner in the "Best Media Owner Sales Team Initiative" category, which honors a media owner's local or regional sales teams for their innovative and creative sales packages implemented within the market. In this category iHeartMedia was recognized for its partnership with Bank of America for World AIDS Day. iHeartMedia's comprehensive cross-platform program across radio, digital, social and outdoor delivered more than 100 million media impressions in 24 hours for "A (RED) Thank You," a special World AIDS Day event that took place in New York's Times Square. Additionally, iHeartMedia drove on-air and social conversation, helping to generate over 10 million views of the YouTube (RED) concert video, the most views on (RED)'s YouTube channel in its history, ultimately raising $1 million in donations to (RED) on one day.

Bob Sirott and Marianne Murciano Upped to Full Time at WGN, Chicago. The husband-and-wife team have been hosting the 9:00 pm Sunday evening program on Tribune's WGN, Chicago and now the company announces they will become part of the legendary news/talker's full-time lineup. The question is, where? Station officials are just saying the change will take place "later this summer." But with midday personality Mike McConnell holding down the 10:00 am to 3:00 pm shift, it's not a bad guess it'll be sometime in the midday hours. WGN president and general manager Jimmy de Castro says, "Bob's respected reputation and vast experiences on radio and television make him the perfect fit for 'Chicago's Very Own 720.' I'm excited to expand Bob's role and allow him to share more of his rich Chicago stories. And Marianne adds another strong female voice to the tradition of WGN Radio." Sirott hosted "The Noon Show" on WGN Radio from 2007 to 2010 and currently co-anchors the "Fox Chicago News at 9" weeknights with Robin Robinson. He's also worked at CBS Radio's WBBM-FM and Cumulus Media's WLS radio and garnered national and local Emmy awards for his work on CBS, NBC and PBS television. Murciano has co-anchored WFLD-TV's "Fox Thing in the Morning" with Sirott and working as a feature reporter for WTTW-TV's "Chicago Tonight." Sirott comments, "When I was growing up in Chicago, WGN was the 'Radio home of millions throughout mid-America,' and this is still very much true. Marianne and I are thrilled to call WGN our radio home."
OK City to Get New Sports Talk Outlet. Tyler Media will move classic rocker KRXO from its 107.7 FM frequency to new translator K283BW at 104.5 (it will also be simulcast on 107.7's HD2 channel) and 107.7 will become a full-fledged sports talk station. Tyler media president Ty Tyler says in a statement that they are still in the process of hiring local talent and are not ready to release information about how the station will be branded but he says, "We are excited to expand our portfolio of stations. A big league city needs a big league sports station." Tyler does say the station will air Oklahoma University play-by-play and plans to air a full slate of NFL games as well. The Oklahoman speculates that local sports talk personality Mike Steely, who most recently was heard on crosstown Cumulus sports talk WWLS "The Sports Animal" but hasn't been on the air since June 29, will join the new station.
Award-Winning Talk Host Bob Lonsberry Offers Advice to Producers. In a powerful, tell-it-like-it-is column posted today (7/12), WHAM, Rochester/WSYR, Syracuse talk show host Bob Lonsberry writes an open letter-style "Note to Talk Radio Producers" in which he offers advice to the person on the other side of the glass that so many talk show hosts have been grumbling about for years. In this not-to-be-missed piece, Lonsberry advises: 1) listen to the show (claiming producers do not always pay attention to what is on the air); 2) be a broadcaster (if he the host gives you the chance to say something on the air – be ready); 3) handle callers well (don't just "screen" them – rate them and rank them); and 4) think like a reporter (be proactive and creative in gathering information and booking guests). And that's just for starters. To read Lonsberry's entire piece, please click here (and then pass it on to every producer you know).

Wilkerson was diagnosed with cancer 15 months ago.
SRN's Mike Gallagher Thrilled with Success of First Responders Bible Project. A while back TALKERS wrote about Salem Radio Network talk show host Mike Gallagher's First Responders Bible project in which – via his Gallagher's Army charitable foundation – he distributes King James Bibles to first responders corps across the country to help the individuals deal with the daily stresses of the occupation. So far, thousands of specially produced King James Bibles have been distributed to first responders throughout the country as part of an effort to help these men and women gain the spiritual fitness needed to cope with the stress they face each time they are called to respond to an emergency. The First Responders Bible includes a spiritual fitness guide as well as counseling and spiritual tips on how to stay strong and faith-filled when faced with catastrophic life-or-death situations. Gallagher says, "These police officers and EMTs and firefighters encounter all kinds of ghastly things in the course of their day-to-day duties. This Bible serves as a spiritual fitness manual for these oftentimes husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers." Mike Gallagher's foundation director Joey Hudson (who also serves as Gallagher's business manager) says, "I am excited to say we were well received. Many sheriffs expressed that our ministry was much needed, and we did not have a single person not accept a Bible and they promised to have their chaplains follow up with us to request shipments for more. Additionally, we had a number of requests to attend future state sheriffs' meetings in the coming year." For more information on Gallagher's Army and the First Responders Bible, visit gallaghersarmy.com. In the photo here, Joey Hudson is seen at the organization's booth at the annual conference of the National Sheriffs' Association held last month in Charlotte.

I signed up for your email list but I'm not getting the messages.
Thanks for subscribing! I use MailChimp to send my newsletter, and sometimes there's a delay in between sign up and the confirmation email. Please check your junk mail/spam folder to make sure my message didn't end up there.
I didn't get/can't open the link to download the Avoiding the Paper Trap PDF.
You can view it here.
Where can I learn more about the club?
Is it too late to join?
I'm so sorry that I can't extend the deadline. The club was open for 12 days and started on Saturday, July 2nd for this cohort, so anyone joining now would already be behind. I left the club open until noon ET on Thursday, July 7th as a grace period for latecomers, but I want to try to keep everyone on schedule.
The other reason is that it's extremely time-intensive for my team and I to add new members, process payments, get everyone acclimated and logged in, familiarize members with the membership site, get them added to the Facebook groups, etc. We limit those periods to just twice a year so we can focus the majority of our time and energy on supporting members with work/life balance.
The club will be open to new members again from December 26th, 2016 through January 3rd, 2017. You can sign up for the email list to be notified when it's open so you don't miss the next enrollment period (and you'll get free resources sent to you right away). Thanks for your understanding!

I have a question or problem with my shirt order in your Spreadshirt store.
If you have any technical problems with the site and submitting your order, want to know more about shipping times/options, or have a quality issue with the product you received, please contact Spreadshirt's customer service department. They handle the payments, processing, production, and shipment of all orders. You can call 800-381-0815 Monday – Friday 8 am – 8 pm ET, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. More info here.
Can you create a custom shirt design or order for me?
You can actually use Spreadshirt's creation tool to make your own. I do create some custom orders on a limited basis. Also, I can make other sizes/styles available and process bulk orders. Send me an email with your request.
Can you help spread the word about about a new project/resource/organization?
Because my site averages over 500K pageviews a month, I have been inundated by requests from organizations wanting their programs, sites, and products featured on the site. Typically I feature these as sponsored blog posts (or sponsored guest blog posts) and only run them every 4-6 weeks to make sure my content is of the highest quality. All available ad rates and sponsorship opportunities are explained on my site in clear detail so you can find the best match for your needs.
I don't have a budget—can you help me promote my book/product/site for free?
I would like to be able to help you spread the word. I know it's hard when you're starting out. However, it's a difficult situation because I have my own projects to promote (4 books, 2 webinars, teacher apparel, and tons of curricular materials I sell on TeachersPayTeachers.) It's very tough to let readers know about the resources I've made and truly believe in while still keeping my blog and social media accounts focused on strong, product-free content. My commitment to sharing practical, free information 90% of the time leaves very, very few opportunities to promote other people's stuff, and because I could be using those slots to sell my own resources, I need to be well-compensated for giving up that opportunity. I hope you can understand that. I've spent 11 years building my online presence and the trust of my readers, and I take it very seriously.
What about my fundraiser/Donor's Choose/Kickstarter project—will you share that?
I get requests to share fundraisers multiple times per week, and unfortunately, I can't accommodate all of those requests and still stay focused on sharing useful content and practical resources for my readers. If you want help promoting a Donor's Choose project, try Caring Classrooms.
Will you review/promote my book for teachers?
I occasionally review books that have a broad appeal to a diverse group of educators and that fit with the overarching themes on my blog (practical instructional strategies, classroom management, teacher motivation, stress management, etc.) I generally do not review books that only appeal to a small niche of teachers. You are welcome to email me and ask if your book is a good fit for my site. Please keep in mind that authors and their agents/publishers email me on a daily basis with these requests so I am only able to accept a very small number of them.
Will you review/promote my book that is targeted toward parents or the general public?
My audience is comprised of teachers, so I only write about topics that are directly related to teaching.
Will you review/promote my children's book?
I get multiple requests every week to review children's books, so out of fairness, I have a blanket policy of saying no to all children's book review requests.
Will you do a guest blog exchange?
Typically, no. I'm sorry! I have a limited amount of time for writing blog posts, and my priority has to be creating content for my own blog.
Do you accept guest bloggers?
Yes! If you're a teacher or other education practitioner, I would love to have you share your practical teaching ideas on my blog. Just fill out this form. Please note that this opportunity is available only for educators and edubloggers: companies wishing to include links to their products or websites must submit sponsored guest blog posts.
Will you speak at our school/event?
I do conduct workshops, keynotes, in-services, and webinars on a limited basis. You can learn more on the Speaking Events and Conferences page.
Can you mentor/coach me?
I wish that I had the available time to do individual coaching and mentoring! I do, however, have hundreds of pages of resources here on the site to help you along. And twice a year, I open the Encouraging Teachers Facebook group up to new members, and that's a great way to get the support you need.
Can you help me get started as an educational consultant?
Yes! I have entire section of my website dedicated to Edupreneur resources, including pages on how to start and monetize a teaching blog and publish your own book. I also have a video on how to transition into educational consulting which allows you to "pick my brain" a bit. I am in the process of developing a series of consulting videos to be released in late spring/early summer 2015.
Can you help with my teaching situation or offer personal advice?
I'll certainly try! You can send me an email–just keep in mind that it might be a few days before you hear back. I can also share your question on my Facebook page to help you get a wider range of responses. Another idea is to ask your question via the form or voice message option on this page and I may answer it in an upcoming episode of the Truth for Teachers podcast.
Can I connect with you on social media?
I'd love that. Choose whichever platform you prefer–I'm pretty much everywhere!

The foulness of the universe
Is in plain sight for all to see,
From the born idle-rich,
To paupers in great need.
Such an awful universe indeed
Where evil stars hang overhead,
And needy folks living in the streets
Pray to the Lord that they were dead.
An evil place with evil stars
That glare down like foul messengers,
Messengers of doom and despair
Evil, tormenting harbingers.
Harbingers of a doomed race
Living in the foul universe,
Trying frantically to survive
Wondering if anywhere could be worse?
Far worse than anywhere you've seen
Is the foul universe we live in,
A universe besotted with hatred
A universe wreaking of sin.
A dreadful sky looms overhead
Glaring like the face of doom,
A sky with black stars that don't shine
Blotting out the sun and moon.
The foulness of this septic place
Is almost far too much to bare,
Polluting all the pure at heart
Like toxic gases in the air.
The foul universe holds goodness in
Refusing to let anyone escape,
The clutches of the monstrous sky
A universe that oozes hates.
A universe so bland and foul
Stinking up our hearts and our souls,
Until our mind is almost dead
Until our hopes are all on hold.
The foul universe will win again
As all the good folk ever lose,
And as a nightmare life goes on
The living wonder, "What's the use?"

Jesus Christ Liberator
Full Product Description
Who is Jesus Christ for us today? By what names do we call him? Just as the early Christians developed different names for Jesus, so too must we discover the meaning of Jesus for our day. Jesus Christ Liberator is Boff's distinctive contribution to contemporary Christology. Boff writes, "Christology thought out and vitally tested in Latin America must have characteristics of its own. The attentive reader will perceive them throughout this book. The predominantly foreign literature that we cite ought not to delude anyone. It is with preoccupations that are our alone, taken from our Latin American context, that we will re-read no only the old texts of the New Testament but also the most recent commentaries written in Europe."
Jesus Christ Liberator by Leonardo Boff was published by Orbis Books in October 1978. The ISBN for Jesus Christ Liberator is 9780883442364.

His job will include standing in for the Governor Eddie George at ECB meetings.
The post will be taken by John Townend, the Bank's deputy director of market operations, who has been spearheading the Bank's discussions about how to respond to the introduction of the single European currency on 1 January.
The move will be seen as a covert admission by the bank of the inevitability of Britain signing up to the euro, despite the Government's insistence on sheltering behind an official policy of "wait-and-see".
It is also likely to be seen in some quarters as a defeat for both Eddie George, the governor, and his deputy Mervyn King, both confirmed Euro- sceptics who are believed to have had misgivings about formalising Mr Townend's role.
Both are said to have been dragging their feet on suggestions that the Bank should set up a permanent presence in Frankfurt to liaise with the European Central Bank.
Mr King said recently about monetary union: "You can get them to the altar on time. But you can't make them marry."
The decision to promote Mr Townend was nevertheless welcomed in the City as a highly sensible move.
Mr Townend, 51, is a well-respected economist and career Bank of England official. As well as co-ordinating the Bank's own preparations for European Monetary Union, he has been standing in for Mr George at meetings of the European Monetary Institute, the precursor of the ECB, as well as working with City institutions to ensure their preparations for EMU are up to scratch.
Julian Jessop, economist at Nikko Securities, said yesterday that in addition to the ECB's responsibility for monetary policy, there are other areas where the Bank of England would want to have some influence.
These include the Target payments system and the way that minimum reserve requirements are to be imposed on "Euroland".

Smartphone Maker Huawei Halts Production of Windows Phones
Windows phones didn't bring in enough revenue and sales, so further Windows Phone devices have been dropped, according to a Huawei official.While Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is not very well-known in the United States, it is a big name in other parts of the world, so when an official recently announced that Huawei is dropping production of Windows phones, the news was intriguing. The company's ending of Windows Phone production and sales was unveiled by Joe Kelly, Huawei's head of international media affairs, during a late November press tour of its Shanghai research and development center, according to a report by The Seattle Times. Huawei previously had been manufacturing two smartphones that ran on the Windows Phone mobile operating system, but the initiative did not produce adequate sales, Kelly told the Times. "We didn't make any money in Windows Phone," Kelly told the paper. "Nobody made any money in Windows Phone." The company is now putting any plans for future Windows phones on hold, the story reported.
Huawei is the world's third-largest smartphone maker, behind Samsung and Apple, but it continues to be known mostly in its native country of China, according to a report by IDC.

A High Five for Farmers and the Conservation Stewardship Program
At USDA this month, we're taking some time to focus on the work of farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to conserve our planet and our resources for the future. They know, like we do, that cleaner air, water, soil and habitat are not only good for our planet, but also contribute to healthy and productive working farmlands.
At USDA we have a wide range of tools and support available to help farmers voluntarily implement conservation practices to improve the health and productivity of private and Tribal working lands. Since 2009, the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) has provided more than $4 billion in assistance to farmers, ranchers and forest managers to enhance conservation on more than 70 million acres. And this year, USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) plans to add an estimated 10 million acres to the rolls.
Today, we announced that $150 million in funding is available for agricultural producers through CSP in 2016 to help producers maintain and improve their existing conservation systems and adopt additional conservation activities to address priority resources concerns.
And if you're interested in seeing how it works, here's a look back at five stories that show the #USDAResults that can be achieved by farmers and ranchers through participation in CSP. These stories help to showcase some of the many ways our nation's producers are putting conservation to work on their operation and for their communities.
1. Wisconsin Farm Serves as an Example for How Conservation Benefits Agricultural Operations
Greg and Karon are passionate about what they do, and they take care of the land, making sure the operation stays productive while also conserving natural resources. To do this, they use a suite of conservation practices, which improve soil health on the farm and water quality downstream.
2. Through Conservation, an Iowa Farmer Keeps Water Clean Downstream
Majestic Manor, run by David and Amy Peterson, has been in the family for four generations. They milk about 120 Holstein dairy cows twice daily and grow corn, alfalfa, oats, triticale and soybeans on about 320 acres. Petersen likes to refer to his operation as "closed-loop" where the soil feeds the crops, the crops feed the cattle, and the cattle feed the soil.
3. Better Quality Beef Starts with Improving the Quality of the Land
Healthier grass means healthier forage, or food for the cattle. Jake Shadowen aims to constantly improve the quality of his cattle by improving forage. Through the Conservation Stewardship Program(CSP) and other Farm Bill conservation programs, he received technical and financial assistance to put in cross fencing and to implement other conservation activities, or enhancements.
4. Powered by Diversity and Healthy Soil, an Organic Iowa Farm Flourishes
In many respects, Ron and Maria Vakulskas Rosmann's "Farm Sweet Farm" is a typical Iowa farm. The Rosmann's grow corn, soybeans, cattle and hogs. But that's where the similarities with traditional farming operations end.
5. Conservation Programs Help Nebraska Farmer Install, Improve Irrigation System
As a little girl, Mary Kay Lyon followed her father around their south central Nebraska farm always dreaming of one day owning the operation herself. Lyon left the farm to attend college, but eventually made it back home when her father retired, determined to run the family farm.
Overall, since 2009, USDA has invested more than $29 billion to help producers make all kinds of conservation improvements, working with as many as 500,000 farmers, ranchers and landowners to protect over 400 million acres nationwide, boosting soil and air quality, cleaning and conserving water and enhancing wildlife habitat. For an interactive look at USDA's work in conservation and forestry over the course of this Administration, visit http://medium.com/usda-results.
2 Responses to "A High Five for Farmers and the Conservation Stewardship Program"
Thanks for this post and the links for more information. Great photos of the farmers participating in this program. And the tiny kitty on the bale of hay!
I just love seeing things like this farmers are the backbone to our country and I always love seeing them get awards, I mean this has got to be one of the hardest jobs in the world and if it not them I have no idea what is. I can't understand why farmers do not sell their fruits and veg. online on deal sites like groupon.com , livingsocial.com and roovet.com/local there will be thousands of people with will line up to buy.
