When I was growing up, my parents strictly limited the amount of sugar I was allowed to eat. I remember one day throwing a tantrum in the grocery store—I must have been 4 or 5—because my mother wouldn't buy me Froot Loops. I shook the box up and down, transfixed by the big, colorful cartoon bird on the front, and wailed, "But I waaaaant it!" She snatched the box, "No way! The first ingredient is SUGAR." Read More

Science & Democracy Dialogues: A New Series from the Center for Science and Democracy
April 28th, 2014
This spring, the Center for Science and Democracy is launching a new series of informal, interactive online conversations. Although the technology is something we're still experimenting with, these talks have already begun to forge connections between experts, early career scientists, activists, and others whose interests intersect at the nexus of science, policy, and society.

8 Science-Friendly Presidents in Honor of Presidents Day: Vote for Your Favorite
February 14th, 2014
In a speech to the National Academy of Sciences in April 1961, John F. Kennedy began by commenting on how the relationship between science and democracy was one of great interest to him:
"In the earliest days of the founding of our country there was among some of our Founding Fathers a most happy relationship, a most happy understanding of the ties which bind science and government together." Read More

"Climate Change Invaded My Field": A Conversation with Historian and Science Advocate Steven Leibo
January 16th, 2014
At the American Historical Association's annual meeting earlier this month, I had the pleasure of meeting Steven Leibo, a professor of history, leader for the Climate Reality Project, and long-time UCS supporter. During the Q&A for a session on teaching history to STEM students, Professor Leibo remarked on the need for building better bridges between historians and scientists. After the talk, he graciously allowed me to interview him about why these bridges are important through the lens of his own work. Read More
New Report from the Endangered Species Coalition Celebrating 40 Years of Success
December 6th, 2013
No bird is more iconic to Americans' sense of national identity and pride than the bald eagle. This majestic creature was chosen by the Continental Congress in 1782 to symbolize the United States because of its strength and longevity. A bird that lives on the tops of mountains and swoops through boundless spaces, it appears on the Great Seal of the United States and represents the freedom the Founding Fathers saw at the heart of our democracy.

Talking Turkey: Saying "No Thanks" to the Poultry Rule This Thanksgiving
November 22nd, 2013
You don't have to be a vegetarian to appreciate the foulness of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's proposed Poultry Rule. Many critics, including the Coalition for Sensible Safeguards, of which UCS is a member, have pointed out that the rule ignores evidence pertaining to human health and worker safety. Others have argued it is inhumane. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), in a report released earlier this year, found that the proposed rule is based on limited scientific data and inadequate evaluation of USDA pilot projects.

Four Stone Hearth #45 - Caves, Graves and Audio-files Edition
Welcome to this latest edition of Four Stone Hearth, which once again, I'm very pleased to be hosting here. The title refers to a few of the topics that comprise this issue, but there's also a pretty wide variety and sizeable quantity of all sorts of other anthro reading to get stuck into as well.
The 'Caves' element in the headline refers to a couple of endangered caves I've linked to at the end of this, whilst the 'Graves' and 'Audio-files' entries will make themselves apparent as you read through.
I've included a fair few archaeology posts in this edition, the first of which is from Magnus Reuterdahl at Testimony of the Spade, who tells us of his...
components will make themselves apparent as you read through.Excavations at Konserthusparken in Linköping - Summary Week 2...., whilst the Week 1 summary and Part 2 are worth checking out too, as he and his team explore archaeology dating from the Mediaeval to the late 18th century, not helped by what he describes a as burning hot sun which makes for difficult excavation conditions - sounds like thirsty work.
And news of another dig from Martin Rundkvist at Aardvarchaeology...
Test Pitting at Djurhamn
about which which he tells us...
I spent Thursday and Friday digging test pits with a group of energetic volunteers at Djurhamn, the first two of seven planned days in the field. The great Ehrsson brothers are now joined by an equally solid Ehrsson nephew, among other hard-working people.
We're looking for archaeological evidence for historically attested land activity around a harbour whose seafloor is covered with 17th and 18th century refuse dumped from ships. Written sources collected by Katarina Schoerner mention "the big quay" and "the military camp" including an "ale hut", but we have no idea where they were, really.
see also 33 Test Pits
Antiquarian's Attic points us in the direction of a Roman shopping centre at Caerwent, South Wales - Venta Silurum was an important Roman town in the 3rd century AD, and is one of the best preserved towns of that era, largely due to the fact that over time, it lost influence, and was never built upon, leaving its traces today, largely intact across an area of 44 acres.
Afafrensis meanwhile, advises us that two somewhat older sites, Sunghir and Pech de l'Aze have their own dedicated websites, and further of Pennsylvania University's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology ongoing project aimed at digitizing their entire collection.
Archaeozoology has an informative post,
'Integrating Phytoliths Within Use-Wear/Residue Studies of Stone Tools',
which discusses the use to which obsidian artefacts excavated in Papua New Guinea, were put - a phytolith preserves a floral record long after the plant itself has decayed and of which there is no other trace - a very interesting way of enabling us to reconstruct plant presence and use by prehistoric people from any number of dates and sites.
Time now for a spot of TV, as Alun at Clioaudio gives a relatively positive review of Bonekickers, currently airing on BBC 1 - I haven't seen it, and after reading some of the reviews, I wasn't sure I wanted to - so it's good to read something a little more constructive than some fo the stuff that's been appearing on what have been described to me as 'hate forums'.
And Kris Hirst chips in with a quick post on the same subject, in which she includes a useful set of links relating to the show, adding that she hopes that the negative publicity which has greeted the first episodes won't result in the series being pulled before it has time to be networked abroad.
One person who originally alerted me to the furore surrounding Bonekickers, is Dennis Price, and it's to his blog Eternal Idol that we next turn, as he asks whether or not a 10th Century Anglo-Saxon poem, 'The Ruin' could be referring to Stonehenge - at first glance it seems a long shot, and it will be up to the individual reader to make up his or her mind - but the poem itself is worth reading in it's original form - I don't understand Anglo-Saxon, but reading through 'The Ruin' it struck me as having a particularly lyrical quality to it, as I tried to imagine how it would sound when read aloud.
(correction: 18/07/08 - 'The Ruin' is of course, part of the Book of Exeter, which is a 10th century compilation. When 'The Ruin' was actually written is unknown, and in the opinion of Professor Drout, referred to in the article at Eternal Idol, could have originated some time before the various components of the compilation were assembled.)
For the 'Graves' part of the title, Anne Gilbert at 'A Writer's Daily Grind' has this post, 'Happy 100th, La Chapelle Aux Saints' which, blogged from Anthrosite discusses the discovery of this famous Neanderthal, intentionally buried after his death, some 45,000 years ago...
He was described as having been buried, and the picture above shows this quite clearly. Furthermore, someone must have cared for him in some way, before he died, since he had only a few teeth left. He was also arthritic, but this was not noticed or noted until fifty years after his discovery.
plus this snippet...
Anyway, if any reader happens to be in southwestern France between July 25 and August 8, they might want to drop by and at the very least, view the fossil, which will be on display. There are also a bunch of lectures and presentations during this time.
If you can work out how to get there, it should be well worth a visit.
More graves, and for this we're off to Chile, and the recent discovery of eight mummies dating back 4,500 years, and which are perfectly preserved - here's a note about the Chinchorro culture from Stone Pages...
Morro de Arica is known for its mummies. Several hundred of them, some as old as 7,000 years, were discovered in 1983 in the area. In 2005, University of Tarapaca archaeologists found 50 Chinchorro mummies, dating back to 4,000 BCE, during the demolition of a house. The unusually large number of mummies found in the sector indicate that one of the oldest Chinchorro cemeteries may have been located there. The Chinchorros are presumed to have died out or migrated in the first century CE.
Two final Archaeo-posts, both of which address the subject of looting, collecting, loss of data and more - Carl at Hot Cup of Joe talks us through the subject in his ongoing series, 'Stolen and Looted' with reference to the Great Basin, while Kris Hirst, in 'Artifact Collectors and Professional Archaeology' adds that the archaeology profession could embrace the collector, who in turn could be advised as to how to provide much more useful information on their finds to archaeology in general.
We next head off to South East Asia, and Maju at Leherensuge asks, 'What if...Y-DNA K Diversified After Toba?' - which was the catastrophic eruption which occurred around 74 kya, an event believed by many to have had such a devastating effect that human populations were reduced to a few thousand worldwide, creating a so-called genetic bottle-neck in the process, whereas other opinion holds that there is no real evidence to support this.
And whilst we're over in that part of the world, it's time for a more linguistic consideration of our distant past, and to that effect we have this from Realm of Manjusri
Indus Valley Civilisation Spoke Altaic....
Whilst Anthropology.net has this...
The Diversity of Languages in the Caucasus
and Babel's Dawn has this...
Language Adpated To Us, which discusses a paper '"Language as Shaped by the Brain",
...and in a similar vein, we have this from Neurophilosophy, 'The Shakespeared Brain', which discusses something called 'functional shift', as described here...
Functional shift was often employed by the Bard - for example, when he wrote "lip something loving into my ear," or when a character from The Winter's Tale says that "thoughts would think my blood". Sentences structured in such a way are linguistically economical, because the meanings in them are compressed, but they also violate the laws of grammar, and are therefore processed somewhat differently from conventionally structured sentences.
Over at Music 000001, Victor Grauer has an posted an entry, 'Music of the Great Tradition - 24, Old Europe and the Role of Women', to which this is the opening paragraph...
When Alan Lomax collected folk music in Spain and Italy during the 1950's, he was struck by certain differences in singing style between north and south in both countries, that appeared related to the role of women. Specifically, where women played a more important and active role in the society and had a certain amount of sexual freedom, as in the north, voices tended to be more open, relaxed and "well blended," and there was a tendency to sing in groups, often polyphonically.
Where women played a subordinate role, and their sexuality was strictly controlled, as in the south, voices tended to be constricted and tense, solo singing was more common, and group singing usually in harsh unison. Since Lomax was something of a Freudian -- and a disciple of Margaret Mead -- it's not difficult to see how he could have associated sexual tension with vocal tension, male-female harmony with musical harmony.
John Hawks, in 'Hearing At Atapuerca' reminds us of a 2004 study, backed up with more recent research from Atapuerca, into how analysis of the archaic middle ear has revealed than hominids living more than half a million years ago had the same aural capacities as ourselves, leading researchers to conclude that this is an indication that early humans were capable of speech much earlier than is generally accepted, and which I imagine would have allowed for an early capacity for hearing and creating music, or at least singing.
I received three submissions from Neuroanthropology...
When Pink Ribbons Are No Comfort - On Humor and Breast Cancer
...from which I've taken this explanatory paragraph...
Breast cancer is...funny? Well, no. In fact, there is nothing humorous about chemotherapy, mastectomies, hysterectomies, and the looming fear of death. But when a breast cancer patient initiates humor, especially with those outside of 'cancer-world,' she is forcing the receiver of the humor to recognize that there is more to her than just the disease, the doctors, and thumbs-up enthusiasm.
The Cultural Brain in Five Flavors
which is a prelude to a Critical Sciences workshop, and the five types of cultural brain that Daniel Lende is suggesting might exist, as described here...
The Symbolic Brain: Culture, meaning and the brain combined.
The Inequality Brain: Bad outcomes through society, power, and the brain.
The Theory Brain: Neuroscience impacts social science theory.
The Brain Transformed: Social science impacts brain theory.
The Critical Brain: Taking down bad brain justifications and examining the cultural uses of the brain.
There is a fuller explanation of these terms within the article, and once you've finished that, we have this essay,
'Get Into Trance: Felicitas Goodman',
which discusses the work of this German anthropologist, and specifically her studies of bodily posture and how they can relate to different states of ecstatic trance, as briefly described by her...
In addition to much abstract ornamentation, the archeological record of human artistic activity also contains human representations. Upon close scrutiny, most of these human effigies share a curious feature of a non-ordinary body posture such as the hands placed on the middle of the body, the fingers spread in an unexpected way or the tongue hanging out.
In 1977, in connection with my ongoing research concerning altered states of consciousness, I had the research subjects assume one of these non-ordinary postures and then added a rhythmic stimulation. To my surprise, the subjects reported a variety of visionary experiences. Apparently, I had inadvertently stumbled onto a very ancient shamanic system that had hitherto gone unrecognized. During initial research, a number of regularities became evident. The visionary experience varied according to the posture….
...There were postures mediating divination, shape-shifting, or even healing. It became clear that the postures were rituals, each one containing its own implicit myth.
Trance rituals would appear to have very deep roots in the human story, though at what stage in prehistory they began to be used is something of a mystery - is this activity something specific to anatomical moderns - (i.e. us), or did archaic species such as the Neanderthals have any such experiences? By this I'm wondering whether there's something specific in the way our modern brains are wired that allows for this sort of phenomena, or whether it's something that could have been allowed for by archaic brain architecture as well.
...and a final post I noticed from the same site...
More Videos and Podcasts For Your Neuroanth Pleasure
...a good few links worth checking, especially for a layperson with a general interest, for whom neuroscience academic papers might be too technical to fully grasp. I usually listen to 'All in the Mind', another weekly podcast, the most interesting of which I heard recently was Dr. Michael Gazzanigan discussing left- and right-brain research over the past 45 years, and whether free will exists, and the implications of damaged brains with regard to criminal culpability.
Next, we're heading briefly off into space, as we visit Centauri Dreams, where Paul Gilster offers some comment on...
The Ethics of Interstellar Journeying
...a topic I find to be of enduring interest is how we as humans will construct societies of the future, particularly those humans whose entire lives will be spent on other worlds or even travelling through space en route to who knows where. How humans will cope with life in the stars, and to what extent we will design humans who might turn out to be something other than human, and the types of societies they in turn will create, is as yet, anyone's guess.
On a related note, John Hawks recently wrote a post, 'Cybernetics and the Brain-controlled Robot' in which he refers to a very surprising observation, to wit...
The main purpose of the walking robot experiment was to demonstrate just how precisely brain activity could be translated, but it produced another interesting result: It actually took less time for the brain signal to travel from the monkey in North Carolina to the robot in Japan than it took to go from the primate's brain to its own muscles. At any given moment, then, the bot was receiving the command to walk before the monkey's body did.
Very strange indeed, but the most surprising thing I noticed on John Hawks' blog this week, was the inclusion of remote central in his Archaeology blogroll, for which I'm truly grateful (and not a little surprised), and as such I'd like to say a big thanks to him for that, and of course to everyone else who has seen fit to do likewise over this past couple of years.
Christina offers us some thoughts on nudity, prudence and censorship, and what constitutes pornography as opposed to art, in 'Nude Or Prude' - with particular reference to Sigur Ros, who recently released a video full of naked people to accompany their single 'Goobeldigook', which needless to say has been pulled from YouTube. Christina also refers to Paddy K's related post, in which he opines that in general, or at least in public, most humans tend to look better dressed - especially when out for 'A Wee Walk', up in Scotland. (I'd like to confirm that during the compilation of this 4SH, I remained fully dressed at all times.)
Next, we look at the story of how a teacher, John Freshwater, faces being for teaching so-called 'creation science' in the classroom - as well as for 'branding crosses into the arms of his students with a high-voltage electrical device' (NCSE)
Here's a more detailed discussion, 'The Firing of John Freshwater' from Café Philos, with plenty of comments to get stuck into , and which receives further wordage over at Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, Ed Darrell has a post 'Darwin and Eugenics? Wrong Again'.
Off to Iraq next, and although I haven't followed the HTS debate that has been ongoing these past months, this article, ''Questioning the "Top Ten Misconceptions About the Human Terrain System" at Open Anthropology is definitely worth reading, especially if you read the 'Top 10 Misconceptions' post first - although at first reading the HTS post seems fair enough, replete with good intentions, the reality of the operations so far would seem to indicate that the program is largely ineffective in this respect.
As far as I can tell, there are very few, if any anthropologists or Social Scientists of Iraqi descent involved in this - whether anthropology in particular, or Social Sciences in general, even existed under the Saddam regime, I'm not sure.
Assuming this project will for the time being progress, in spite of the very well expressed arguments against it, in my opinion it might be better to engage - and if necessary, train and educate - Iraqi nationals who at least speak and understand the relevant languages and dialects, and who would be more directly familiar with local and national, socio-political and cultural issues and mores, than some of the HTS people appear to have been in the recent past.
In a long-term context however, I think the beneficial effects of HTS will be negligible, no matter how well-intentioned and motivated some of its proponents might be - especially given the chequered history of past involvements between the anthropology profession, government agencies and the military (not to mention corporations).
Perhaps a more constructive plan would be for the (re-?)establishment of a social sciences program in Iraq, for citizens living there - bearing in mind that the entire State infrastructure of Iraq was been effectively dismantled by the West since 2003, the least that could be done, (and where possible) would be to repair the damage, replace what has been lost, and where necessary or desirable, equip the educational system to include such fields as the social sciences, assuming there to be sufficient interest or demand for them.
(I'm almost tempted to add that if there were to be social scientists educated and trained in Iraq, there'd be no need for an HTS program during future invasions by the West, as there would be anthropologists and social scientists aplenty, already in situ, and more or less willing to help out the latest uninvited guests to their land - but as there is no apparent exit strategy, it's unlikely there will be another invasion for the foreseeable future.)
Finally, here's a couple of posts from me - I've started a mini-series of posts discussing endangered caves in Europe, where through a mixture of misfortune and maladministration, caves containing Palaeolithic art, such as Praileaitz and Lascaux are in danger of effectively being destroyed, whilst another, as mentioned by Julien at A Very Remote Period Indeed, Grotta Paglicci, (see also) needs urgent aid to repair physical damage caused by collapse - I still haven't finished writing this last post, (along with about a million others) but hopefully it will appear at some point soon.
That's it for this time round, so once again, thanks for taking the time to read this, and many thanks also to everyone who contributed content to this edition; on July 30th, Magnus at Testimony of the Spade will be hosting Four Stone Hearth, so there's plenty of time to get those submissions in - and if you want to host an edition, please contact Martin Rundkvist here.

I think that your suggestion about building up an Iraqi social science is a very good and constructive one.

Maximilian - thanks for your comment - I think there's vast scope within Iraq for a social sciences program, especially given the complexities of the region and the various peoples who inhabit it, the current 'War on Terror' notwithstanding.
I'm sure there must be a great many highly articulate people from all regions of Iraq who would be very keen on the idea, and who would have plenty to learn and subsequently inform the outside world, and of course, their fellow citizens.
Vast amounts of damage and loss have been inflicted on Iraq, much of which can never be repaired or regained, so to me it makes sense to create new things which weren't there before, and which in turn will hopefully be of benefit to people in the future.
Setting up such programs might not happen in the near future, but once the situation across Iraq has stabilised sufficiently, and with properly motivated people involved, small initiatives (at first) should be relatively easy to realise - and not even that expensive, given the multiple billions of dollars that continue to be spent there.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to do the same thing in for example, Afghanistan, but again, small projects here and there to begin with, could reap considerable benefits in the longer term. - 17/07/2008, 03:10

Thanks for mentioning my little piece on the 100th anniversary of the discovery of La Chapelle aux Saintes! I'm really very pleased that people are actually reading my blog! It's only been up for a little over a year, and it's partly about my writing process, as well as stuff about Neandertals(because they're in my WIP's, so I hope it appeals to a, shall we say, broad segment.
Again thanks,

Thanks Anne - I've left a comment on your original post, as I forgot to tell you it was included in that 4SH - btw, if you wanted to host an edition of your own, there are plenty of vacant slots, just check the 4SH website for details etc if you're interested, and you'd hopefully attract more readers to your blog at the same time.
Anyway, congrats on your first year of blogging, and good luck for the future years too. - 09/08/2008, 19:31

Dread, yearning, identity, intrigue, the lethal chemistry between secular doubt and Islamic fanaticism—these are the elements that Orhan Pamuk anneals in this masterful, disquieting novel. An exiled poet named Ka returns to Turkey and travels to the forlorn city of Kars. His ostensible purpose is to report on a wave of suicides among religious girls forbidden to wear their head-scarves. But Ka is also drawn by his memories of the radiant Ipek, now recently divorced.
Amid blanketing snowfall and universal suspicion, Ka finds himself pursued by figures ranging from Ipek's ex-husband to a charismatic terrorist. A lost gift returns with ecstatic suddenness. A theatrical evening climaxes in a massacre. And finding god may be the prelude to losing everything else. Touching, slyly comic, and humming with cerebral suspense, Snow is of immense relevance to our present moment.
"Not only an engrossing feat of tale-spinning, but essential reading for our times. [Pamuk is] narrating his country into being." —Margaret Atwood, The New York Times Book Review
"A great and almost irresistibly beguiling . . . novelist. . . . [Snow is] enriched by . . . mesmerizing mixes: cruelty and farce, poetry and violence, and a voice whose timbres range from a storyteller's playfulness to the dark torment of an explorer, lost." —The New York Times
"A major work . . . conscience-ridden and carefully wrought, tonic in its scope, candor, and humor . . . . with suspense at every dimpled vortex . . . . Pamuk [is Turkey's] most likely candidate for the Nobel Prize." —John Updike, The New Yorker
"A novel of profound relevance to the present moment. [The] debate between the forces of secularism and those of religious fanaticism . . . is conducted with subtle, painful insight into the human weakness that can underlie both impulses." —The Times (London)
"In Snow, Pamuk uses his powers to show us the critical dilemmas of modern Turkey. How European a country is it? How can it respond to fundamentalist Islam? And how can an artist deal with these issues? ... The author's high artistry and fierce politics take our minds further into the age's crisis than any commentator could. Orhan Pamuk is the sort of writer for whom the Nobel Prize was invented." —Daily Telegraph
"It comes as no surprise that political prescience should be yet another of the many gifts of Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk. With Snow, Pamuk gives convincing proof that the solitary artist is a better bellwether than any televised think-tanker ... The work is a melancholy farce full of rabbit-out-of-a-hat plot twists that, despite the locale, looks uncannily like the magic lantern show of misfire, denial and pratfall that appears daily in our newspapers." —Independent on Sunday
"'How much can we ever know about love and pain in another's heart? How much can we hope to understand those who have suffered deeper anguish, greater deprivation and more crushing disappointments than we ourselves have known?' Such questions haunt the poet Ka . . . [in] this novel, as much about love as it is about politics." —The Observer
"Richly detailed . . . A thrilling plot ingeniously shaped . . . Vividly embodies and painstakingly explores the collision of Western values with Islamic fundamentalism . . . An astonishingly complex, disturbing view of a world we owe it to ourselves to better understand." —Kirkus Reviews
"Snow has already been a bestseller in Turkey—given Pamuk's stature as a novelist and the novel's content it could hardly fail to be. But what makes it a brilliant novel is its artistry. Pamuk keeps so many balls in the air that you cannot separate the inquiry into the nature of religious belief from the examination of modern Turkey, the investigation of East-West relations, and the nature of art itself ... All this rolled into a gripping political thriller." —Spectator
"Brilliant É Pamuk writes with such grace and deep respect for his conflicted characters that this rich novel passes like a dream, encompassing every aspect of love and belief." —People

The Labour Day long weekend is shaping up beautifully for Canadian Princess Resort guests. The skies have cleared and the sun is shining, and anglers are getting into some serious salmon fishing. We've seen two 40 lb Chinook so far this weekend, a bunch over 30 lbs, with the balance almost exclusively over 20. Coho are hovering in the mid-teens, and halibut, while not being targetted much by guests, are coming in from 30 up to 60 lbs

Syniverse Holdings Inc. won European Union approval for its plan to buy Mach, a rival provider of services to mobile-phone companies, after EU regulators said it agreed to sell a "significant part of Mach's assets."
The divestment concerns Mach's Data Clearing services and Near Trade Roaming Data Exchange services in Europe, the European Commission said in an e-mailed statement today. These two types of services are technical steps of the roaming process enabling people to use their mobile phones while travelling abroad, it said.
"The proposed commitments will ensure that the merger does not hamper the smooth functioning of wholesale roaming services through an increase in price or a decrease in quality," Joaquin Almunia, the EU's antitrust chief, said in the statement.
Syniverse, owned by Carlyle Group (CG:US), agreed to buy Luxembourg-based Mach for about 550 million euros ($709 million) in July. The company said it would cooperate with EU regulators to resolve competition issues.

Because of complicated physical, mental, or cognitive restrictions, emerging artists with disabilities often do not have access to traditional forms of arts education and/or professional development in the arts. Because Art Access has worked with artists with disabilities for over 30 years, our organization understands that these artists may learn, process information, communicate, refine their artistic skills, and make professional connections in unique ways. Therefore, we also recognize that their artistic training needs to be individualized, hands-on, and take place in an inclusive and accessible environment.
We select professional artist mentors carefully in order to allow both individuals involved to collaborate on ways in which the apprentice will best learn the skills of a specific artistic trade. Gaining access to artistic and professional discipline, improved technique, innovative mediums, professional networks, and personal marketing and public relations skills help prepare apprentice artists for the realities of professions in the arts.
Partners focuses on assisting artists with disabilities develop and practice their artistic techniques and skills, expand their educational and professional experiences, learn about the business side of being a working artist, make vital connections to the local arts community, and prepare for potential careers as professional artists.
Upon completion of a minimum of 25-hours of mentoring, including attending partnership-development events and assessing their experiences in a journal, apprentices and their mentors celebrate their work in a side-by-side culminating exhibit in the Art Access Gallery each August. In addition, apprentice artists are encouraged to attend any of our Adult Workshops tuition free in order to further develop their artistic skills.
2014 Apprentice & Mentor Artists (respectively):
Sharyl Adamson & Sandy Brunvand in monotype printmaking
Marcee Blackerby & Josh Hanagarne in writing memoirs
Terry Jackson Mitchell & Liberty Blake in collage
John Pace & Sarinda Jones in fused glass
Darryl Wilkinson & Benny van der Wal in fine art photography
The 20th Annual Partners Exhibition, featuring the above artists, will be held in the Art Access Gallery from August 15 through September 12, 2014
What some participants have said about their experiences in the program:
"[Partners] really fills a void for emerging artists. It provides an impetus and the needed encouragement that is often missing in other art environments." - Mentoring Artist
"Tamara Escamilla and I took an approach to the program that made it exactly what the name implies; the program allowed us to create a true partnership where we shared styles, techniques, knowledge, and experiences as peers Through the program, we have learned a great deal from each other and developed a lasting friendship." - Veronica Perez, Mentoring Artist
"I was excited when I was asked to work with Abby Tohinaka in the Partners Artist Mentoring program, because the mission was in line with my belief that creativity is essential to one's well being. Abby seems to recognize this as well and has taken to painting many hours each day, indicating that it is therapeutic and brings her great joy." - Anne Becker, Mentoring Artist
"Jimmy taught me to think outside the box and to expand my horizons. Mostly, he taught me not to give up on my passion of being an artist. I've had a passion for art most of my life, and likely always will. With the added inspiration and tools I have gained by being in this program, my career as an artist will keep moving forward." - Robert Smuin, Apprentice Artist
"Sadie Hoagland is the most intelligent, inspiring mentor I could have hoped to work with. Strangers at first, we have made a bond through words and time, projects and creativity. I admire her strong use of language, her intriguing subject matter and, most importantly, all that she has to teach me. She's helped me grow, has nurtured my writing and helped it to evolve. Being her partner has opened many literary doors; I'm grateful for her hard work as much on her own words as on mine." - Brooks Oscarson, Apprentice Artist

Credit unions that own or invest in CUSOs to find out what new regs they will be required to meet when the NCUA releases final rule at June 21 meeting.
Credit union industry figures blitzed Washington media outlets this week to bring attention to S. 2231, the bill that would increase the MBL cap.
Despite comments made by co-sponsor Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) April 23 that suggested a vote on S. 2231 may be delayed, credit union trade associations continue to crash the net in support of the Small Business Lending Enhancement Act.
Schumer comments on MBL vote seen as contradiction to Reid promise that vote expected sooner. A preview from next week's print edition.

KpopCharts Update: Bad Catch There
TVXQ "Catch Me" – Vote for it here!
TVXQ is finally back! WHOA SM! Y U MAKE US WAIT FOR SO LONG FOR KOREAN TVXQ SONG? Before You Go came out…what? March 2011? This song is 18 months afterwards! WHOA! Now, we don't follow the lives of Kpop artists outside of what they do in Kpop songs. Did TVXQ do a lot during those 18 months in Japan, maybe? I think they had a tour that did ridiculously well, right? Other than that, were they in any dramas? I know they do a lot of modelling around Korea, but…hey: I'd like to see TVXQ making more music in Korea than once every 18 months. WHO'S WITH ME?!?! And we'd like to be able to review them as well. Max Time is still one of our favourite jokes, and we can't help but think of it whenever we turn the lights on or off.
100% "Bad Boy" – Vote for it here!
It seems like there are far too many rookie bands debuting lately. Is it just me? Every week there's, like, four new bands that I never heard of before. Maybe 100% isn't a rookie band, and they've been around for a while, but – whoa – I'm totally starting to feel like the market is hyper-saturated. Kpop's booming, yes! And lots of companies want a piece of that pie. How many of these bands are gonna make it? I don't know. How do you feel about 100%? Are they just another rushed band trying to get in on the Hallyu wave, or are they actually legit and serious about making music? Question: give us a list of the bands that debuted this year that you find yourselves listening to or following. Is that list a lot smaller than the list of bands that debuted, or is a good percentage?
Spica "I'll Be There" – Vote for it here!
Ah! If it wasn't for the intro of this video, we might possibly have been more interested in it. It's just…so…poorly executed! I mean, sure – we get the idea a bit. Girl looks scared at night, looks up at the dark sky, and sees Spica in the stardust. The song is called "I'll Be There," so the idea is that she doesn't have to be scared, because Spica's there to comfort her. Sure! But…oh! It's just so cheesily done! Spica in the Stardust? What is this? Kindergarten? I'd have been much happier with the video if Spica had just started with their song and dance in the room, without the cheesy intro. I'd even be ok with the Cow DJ. Psy's Gangnam Style is about the horse dance: who better to make a horse dance than a Cow DJ? Kpop, ladies and gentlemen, wants you to know that they care about their livestock. I'd like to see a couple of pigs rock the mic next, and have the roosters as hype men.
Filed Under:
Kpop Charts Update-
I thought the Spica in stardust is suppose to relate to them being named after a constellation. Since you know Spica's a constellation
I have to vent this out somewhere…
I will forever be shattered that TVXQ!'s 'Catch Me' will never be reviewed. Forever. </3 -
they haven't announced the winners of stop girl album right? cause i cant find their latest kpop music monday bloopers xD just wondering
enyone else that felt that Spica was like a fusion(baby) if spice girls and maria caryh in her youth. (I'm a gene in a bottle ish)
there's been so many debuts, i wonder what's going to happen to them all because I don't think the k-pop market will be able to sustain them. My fave rookies this year are Exo, BAP (were they 2011 or this year?), Evol and 100%. Nu'est, Hello Venus and BTOB are also pretty good.
Heh. "She". Oh, Meemers.
TVXQ's ridiculously awesome choreography? My best friend and I could barely watch this video we thought the movements were so incredibly AWKWARD
Here's the deal, this year alone, 40 new groups debuted. I'm probably only listening to 10% of them.
I just think it is weird that Gd has almost of double of votes than TVXQ in everything, and TVXQ are on the top of the chart….mmmmmm ok o.0
I think that 100% is really talented. Their vocalists are better than many of the vocalists already established in the kpop scene. Even though there is like one member who's nothing but a visual. . .
anyways, as of now, gd has been crushed by tvxq's video, but I would've liked to see you guys review gd. Even though tvxq is still cool -
100% is a rookie band, but they're not rushed! They're from the same company as Teen Top, but they've been trainies for a longer time than them…
And TVXQ have been doing a lot of activity in Japan.
I'm really sad because I think because of this we won't get to see Crayon reviewed, which I REALLY wanted to see! I just plain LIKE IT MORE. I mean, They'll talk about TVXQ's awesome comeback and how cool the song is… and the wiggly arm thing. but they're still dancing in rooms! What else is going to be said. Crayon has SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. SADFACE.
please TVXQ!!! come on 3 GD videos? I love him but this is the return of the king! TVXQ need a k-pop music mondays before you go to mexico!! THE MV WAS MIND BLOWING! and most of us "cassies" were kind of confindent, we were like " ok, GD is wining , doesnt matter, next week TVXQ defenitly be review " but YOU DIDNT TEEL US THAT YOU WILL BE GONE FOR 3 WEEKS, WE all went carzy and reduce the gap from 1400000 to 5000 IN 1 DAY ONLY, BUT it still wasnt enought counting that GD was on the charts for 2 weeks… I feel really upset.. at least do a review of both videos!! PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!
Hello Simon and Martina! :3
I've already written to you guys, but um. Yeah. I saw your interview with U-kiss :D
I didn't have the time to write a question. :/ So um can you find out if they will come make a concert in Canada? And where exactly? Please, tell them to come to Montreal!
I tweeted Kevin, but he never answered me. Well, thank you for at least reading it! :) -
Simon and Martina is SOOOSOSOOOOOoooooOOOoooo not fair, gdragon crayon MV is the most votes, and YET you don't wanna review it, SHAME OF YOU, MARTINA, you are fail vip!
I've been a big fan of u guys since last year.I value the fact that you guys try to be as unbiased and transparent as possible. But what I really don't like lately is that you put "Vote For Me" in your Kpop charts updates vid.I dunno but I dont think its fair.
i like Crayon but not too crazy about it. honestly i find Crayon to be too much like One of a Kind with more colours and a stronger dance beat.
GD is AGAIN going on about how cool he is and how much swag he has. its like the same theme over and over again.
people saying that GD should get reviewed cuz his MV is better than Catch Me need to seriously get their eyes and ears checked.
i love GD but there is really nothing unique about Crayon. the concept is the same as One of a kind except that it uses more comedy and colours. there is nothing deep or meaningful about it.
those who say TVXQ's MV is boring need to definitely get their eyes checked. this is the first time TVXQ have done a full mv in a box but there is a reason for it. this is the first time a kpop group or idol has ever been able to express the full story and plot of the song using a DANCE choreography. the reason it was filmed in a box is becuz they WANT u to FOCUS ON THE DANCE and the story behind it.
there is more symbolism and creativity in Catch Me's dance than in any of GD's MVs from this year.
the story of the MV takes place inside a man. yunho and changmin represent the mirror-imaged EGOS that live within that man, and their response to what the gf has done to him, every move that yunho and changmin make express the lyrics of the song. every single step they take along with their incredibly talented dancers is done to create a masterpiece that portrays the story.not to mention that the actual use of dancers as essential parts to portray the full story is nothing short of GENIUS!
try to watch the MV with the eng lyrics attached and u willl understand the depth behind.
the dance was not just done randomly..it actually has a meaning, and the purpose of the box MV is for u to focus ur attention on the dance and understand it.
I'm sorry I've been in GD's chat the whole week and I never read something bad about TVXQ sorry if u did but about the box mm that's not a good excuse because the they wanted focus on their dance mmm well infinite normally are focused on their dance and they always make such awesome choreographies and not necessary in a box and at the same time they are representing theirs MV as well too.. in the other hand maybe in catch me there is a lot symbolism and creativity? for u and others ppl but it doesn't mean that u can talk about others MVs like u did with GD's MV because for the ppl who liked crayon there is a lot of symbolism and creativity too, everybody have different tastes with music.. I understand u are mad because u was waiting for TVXQ MV like mm more than one year and in half, but hey! VIPs have been waiting to GD's solo comeback for 3 years, and we really tried hard to win this week even our MV was older and we were in disadvantages if u did know every MV at the end is calculating by the days that it was posting on KMMcharts for us is difficult to because VIPs don't have an official fanclub even if u are not in korea and u are korean so we really worked hard to find as many VIPs we could find even when many VIPs gave up last week and we didn't have their supports this week.. that Kissme's help us? well ELF help u guys and that is a biiiig fandom as cassiopeias are so please here everyone did their best.
to finish I wanna say that we always keeped in mind that cassiopeia are a very strong fandom that's why we worked so hard I wanna add to that I'm a hug fan of JYJ not a TVXQ fan as well but I liked catch me and the dance was good too, sorry if u were waiting for TVXQ comeback and were waiting win this week but we had the same felling even if all of u say that we are egoist because GD has been review 2 times already but hey that's what a fan means.. always keeping their heart with theirs bias.
I hope u can understand it.
Giving my honest opinion. I LOVE TVQX;s Catch Me. I just you should have seen me when I was watching it the first time.
actually after you guys asked about the rookie groups, i realized essentially all of the groups i listen to have debuted in the past year or so O_O
a lot of the groups are good, and a few are exceptionally awesome, but i feel like unless the group is signed with a major label, their chances of becoming successful are slim to none. it's sad, because some have a lot of talent ;_:
since you asked though:
ChAOS (underrated so so so much; each member has more talent in their right pinky fingernail than i do in my entire body)
4K (folk music sub-unit of the new group 24K)
C-CLOWN (also really good)
Hello Venus
Crayon Pop (super cute and fun songs)honestly im overwhelmed by all the new groups. like its seriously making me suffer from aniexty lol
Maybe the little girl in the Spica mv (which….I feel VERY sorry for the one who wore the double 'P' on her shirt, cuz….yeah) is delusional and scared and so, to make herself feel better….she creates…a…cow….as a dj. Odd. Well, its a delusional, hallucinating little girl who is scarfed and wet and sitting in a alley that is flooded, so I don't think it has to make much sense.
This is just my theory, cuz it seems to be too cheesy and overly emotional if I think of the meaning behind the song title and the lost girl with the stars spelling Spica. -
C'mon if TVXQ gets reviewed this monday what is it they are going to say ?? They are still locked in a big room !! BORING
and that the dance was insanely good ! -
100% don't sound bad. They have good voices and nice dance moves.(but they do resemble 'Infinite') Don't know how serious they are about making music but I don't see them progressing too much in the future. Like you said 'the market is hyper-saturated'. All these new bands have great skills so it's a crazy competition.
'Spica' yes the video was a bit weird – . -' but they have nice voices :)
From the rookie groups that have appeared this year I find myself rather listening than following D-Unit…beside 'Missing you' I haven't found any song from theirs that I particularly like.
P.S: 1:26 don't forget to mention the effort we KISSmes did to help VIPs get their review Martina :)
P.S.s: I was wondering if you consider doing a 'K-indie Music Monday'. Would that be possible? (I'm guessing 'not' K indie are quite serious aren't they? – . – )
P.S.s.s: Thank you again for reviewing 'Gukkkasten' for K-Crunch! They're awesome!! > . < ….maybe someday in the future someone would request for 'Jaurim' T_T -
"its like what happened to infinite"
So is there a way for us to vote for GD this week? Or are we just supposed to leave an angry message here?
GD fans have already won and you'll get a review this week
yaay! :D
Martina Speak. Write a dictionary. PLZ! XD
Also, this week's Playlist Mode… Oh you silly Martina. Slipping in a puddle of Playlist Mode makes TOTAL sense….to us Nasties. <3
OMG! It is a REAL cow! Por favor, someone splain to me NAU what's with the COW? Vaca looks uncomfortable.
Found the DJ Cow in Spica's video wacky. All the videos, in my opinion, were rather lackluster for this KPop update and wouldn't be surprised if none of them made it to KMM. Still good to listen to new artists though because you never know which group will make it big. Ive never heard of GD until a a few weeks ago and look at all the fame he has now. I think these rookie groups are getting their time shine thanks to Simon and Martina.
I think the Spica video is just a modern version of 'The Little Match Girl' story. There is a little girl on the dark streets in the wet and cold. In this version instead of lighting a match to see the visions, she has a flashlight and hallucinates about Spica dancing. Which would mean she is dead by morning…. well that is depressing.
But yeah those bits are totally out of place to the bright and cheerful dancing and singing. -
Hi Simon and Martina, just an idea. Since you are going away for 3 weeks. how about having an 'EXTRA Large' K-pop Music Monday episode which includes all the KMM's No1 MVs that you can't review in the next 3 weeks when you've got back? Each review can be a mini review like your Kpopchart Update. Seriously, I really want to see your review on both Crayon and Catch me!!! Anyway, enjoy your trip!
Actually, 100% have bn marketed for quite some time. They did this show with Teen top (Teen top raising 100%) for like 10 episodes or something :)
I watched the whole thing nd I must say that this "rookie group" (they r actually older than teen top nd have bn training for a longer period of time) r so well prepared.
They sit on some amazing talents nd I just hope that they're given the right songs or even the opportunity to write their own 'cause I really wish for them to go far. If you watch their live performances their vocals are soo professional. Solid!But I do agree with you… it's way too many rookies this year it's getting hard to keep track of all…
I follow a few like b.a.p, NU'est, spica, btob, Tasty, 100% and 24k/4k
sidenote: bigstar, vixx, exo
please dont chose the TVXQ video as it has no meaning, storyline or substance at all. Yes, it has very cool dancing and above average visual effects, but other than that it has nothing interesting nor new to offer
Spica's song reminds me of mid-90's Mariah Carey's stuff. I…kind of liked it? Maybe it's just nostalgia.
Meemers is getting big – and is it just me or has her eye colour changed? -
Maybe someone can explain TVXQ's name to me, because I thought they were only TVXQ in China and DBSK in South Korea? I… don't understand.
I´m really in love with catch me and kinda torned between voting for GD and TVXQ:
BUT there is one thing that really bothers me: I think the Catche me MV is EXTREMELY similar to their Android MV. When I first saw it I thought I was watching Android. -
It's not about GD. It's all about the MVs themselves that attracted people to vote. If GD came out with a boring video, i wouldn't vote for it, i swear (I'm a VIP and you have my words). That's why i didn't vote for That XX last time (even i'm big fan of ballad song), and voted hard on UV's instead. So I'm now rooting for Crayon. Because of the way it is.
People complain about how GD came too often on KMM. Oh please? Those three GD's videos are three different videos which unfortunately were derived by the same artist, that is GD. "I don't like Crayon" is more acceptable than "I hate to see GD on KMM over and over again". Smh.
I loooove TVXQ (i was being a die hard cassie before, and still a casual fan of them and JYJ, especially JYJ). I do want Catch Me to get reviewed because i want to know how S&M would react about the super duper awesome moves in this MV! But for now, i'm dying a lot more to see Crayon on KMM! I don't want to guarantee that TVXQ's will get reviewed after S&M back from mexico, but i'm 99% pretty sure it will! That's about time.:) -
I don't see them much, but their first mini album was actually pretty damn good!
Normally i don't like every song on an album, buy I like every song on theirs. :3
I just wish they appeared on shows more and were more noticed, since they're one of the ONLY rookie groups that doesn't irritate me.

Intro: Raekwon the Chef, Method Man
Word up, look out for the cops [Wu-Tang five finger shit]
(Cash Rules) Word up, two for fives over here baby
Word up, two for fives them niggaz got garbage down the way, word up
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C.R.E.A.M. get...)
Yeah, check this ol fly shit out
Word up
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Take you on a natural joint
(C.R.E.A.M. get the money) Here we here we go
(dolla dolla bill y'all) Check this shit, yo!
Verse One: Raekwon the Chef
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
At second hands, moms bounced on old men
So then we moved to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose
Only way, I begin to gee off was drug loot
And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one
And that one, pullin out gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smokin woolies at sixteen
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way on fire escapes
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough all
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater
Times is ruff and tuff like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick ass click and went all out
Catchin keys from across seas
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's
Yo nigga respect mine, or anger the tech nine
Ch-chick-POW! Move from the gate now
Chorus: Method Man
Cash, Rules, Everything, Around, Me
Get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all
Verse Two: Inspector Deck
It's been twenty-two long hard years of still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M.
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not... could not...
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin -- going up state's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, forty of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so ruff
But as the world turns I learned life is hell
Living in the world no different from a cell
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base
Smokin bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild smokin sess drinkin beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected, but now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hectic
Chorus -- 4X
Niggas gots to do what they gotta do, to get a bill
'cause we can't just get by no more
Word up, we gotta get over, straight up and down
Chorus -- 3X
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
get the money
Dolla dolla bill y'aauhhhaaaauhhhhahhhauhhhhll, YEAH
