Extractions: Exploring the 'Cusp Culture' Helps Adolescents Navigate the Way to Adulthood By Judith Baenen During my more than 28 years of teaching, I often heard from non-teaching acquaintances that my work was not part of the "real world." When discussing some issue about schools in general or about specific issues in teaching and learning, someone would say, "Well, in the real world...." then expound on the "realities" of their work, all the while belittling the educational arena. In my early years of teaching, I resigned myself to these conversations, having been somewhat cowed into believing that maybe these people were right that teaching was such a specialized field it was like spending nine or ten hours a day in a foreign land (fortunately an interesting and enjoyable one). By mid-career, however, I was granted the insight to see that teaching was closer to the real world than almost any other profession. U.S. teachers, at least, are exposed every day to the American culture through their requisite reading, through their necessary contacts with society by way of parents, businesses and community groups, and most of all through their students. In almost no other profession are workers plunged into an obligatory understanding of local and national politics, a neighborhood's human needs and suffering, health and employment issues, family anxieties of all kinds, tax and budget concerns, and a daily dose of national and international current events, contemporary music, up-to-the-minute slang, dress, and who's who among that day's heroes.

Extractions: Augustus: Images of Power De Imperatoribus Romanis: An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors Michael DiMaio, Jr. of Salve Regina University is manager of this new web site dedicated to Roman Emperors. De Imperatoribus Romanis "allow[s] its users to retrieve short biographical essays of all the Roman emperors from the accession of the Emperor Augustus to the death of the Emperor Constantine XI Palaeologus. Each essay on this site, which is peer reviewed, is written by a scholar and is accompanied by a bibliography, illustrations, and footnotes." Scholarly and well-presented, this site promises to be an excellent resource. Diocletian's "Palace" at Split Michael Greenhalgh of the Australian National University presents this exhibition. "Split - or Spalato - is one of the most extraordinary places of the later Roman world, being no less than the palace which the Emperor Diocletian began building in 293 AD in readiness for his retirement from politics in 305. On the Dalmatian coast, adjacent to the Roman city of Salonae, it takes the dual form of a legionary camp similar to those still to be seen on the frontiers of Syria (appropriately so, for Diocletian was of necessity a military emperor) but also, with its splendid loggias, of an Italian house." This well-presented exhibition of Diocletian's "Palace" at Split features sections on the Emperor Diocletian and the "palace" itself.

Water Information As an adult, Gen. John J. Pershing would be named general of the armies of the United States. Growing up in northern Missouri, he enjoyed hunting, fishing and making mischief. His childhood home in Laclede is now preserved as a state historic site. A walk through Prairie Mound School provides visitors with a look into the life of a military leader. The school, where Gen. John J. Pershing taught, is now part of the Pershing historic site. Nestled in the green hills of northern Missouri, just off the intersection of U. S. Highway 36 and Missouri Highway 5, is a small town named Laclede. While approximately 400 people call Laclede home, each year the community attracts numerous visitors from around the United States and overseas. So what leads visitors off the beaten path to Laclede? Gen. John J. Pershing also called Laclede home. Pershing was recipient of the highest military ranking his country had to offer, general of the armies of the United States; only George Washington shares this title. Today, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) preserves his home as Gen. John J. Pershing Boyhood Home State Historic Site.
