Course Description: This course is a survey course designed to assist the student in discovering how verbal and nonverbal communication messages function in a variety of settings--intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, and public. By studying the theory and process of communication and applying communication theory and principles to diverse real-life situations, students will have opportunities to practice and analyze communication skills in various communication contexts. In order to do this, this course involves both written and oral assignments throughout the semester.
The honors section will involve more critical analysis and discussion of course concepts, with an emphasis on both speaking and listening. At least one of the assignments will have a social issues or service-learning component, and topics for speeches will have more specific guidelines than other sections. Students will complete at least three individual speeches and one group project.

HISUS 1023-04 History of the United States with Dr. Joanne Goldman, 12:30-1:45 TTh (Class in Honors Cottage)
Fulfills LAC Category VA
Course Description: This course is designed to introduce students to the history and culture of the American people. It is organized about various themes discussed within particular chronological frameworks. We will concentrate on the themes of war and politics, gender and reform, the natural environment and economics in each of four periods of American History:
Colonial Period: 1600s-1780s
Early National Period à Civil War and Reconstruction: 1780s-1870s
The US in an International Arena: 1880s-1940s
Post World War II: 1950s-Present
Lectures and discussions will draw connections that will provide a rich context for understanding why we are, where we are, and how we got there. In addition to the required textbook assignments, there will be four supplemental readings that will be discussed in class. Students will be required to research a subject and make a presentation in class in the form of panel discussions and debates. Additionally, students will work with primary documents. There will be four exams.
Professor Biography: Joanne Abel Goldman came to UNI in 1990. She earned her Ph.D. in 1988 from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her dissertation examines the process of policy formation with regard to the decision to build an integrated sewer system in New York City in the nineteenth century. This project developed Dr. Goldman's expertise in the history of technology, history of the city, and the Early National Period, 1780s-1860s, of American History, areas in which she teaches upper level classes. More recent research interests have considered post World War II national science policy with regard to the Manhattan Project, the Ames Laboratory, and atomic energy education. Dr. Goldman considers herself an animated teacher who enjoys getting to know students and looks forward to interacting with this particularly motivated group.
HUM 1021-24 Humanities I with Dr. Jerry Soneson, 9:30-10:45 TTh
Fulfills LAC Category 2A
Course Description: This course is an introduction to the humanities. Central to this area of study is the question of what it is to be civilized, to be "human" at its best. In this course we study this question as we also develop a critical understanding of some of the more important social, economic, political and cultural elements which constitute the human story of the West from the earliest human beginning through the Middle Ages, and which have enduring significance in and for the present. Our honors section will draw upon the imagination and creative talents of honors students by offering the opportunity for them to think about, discuss and write upon these matters in concentrated and creative ways. About half of our time together will be devoted to lectures and art films in order to tell the historical story of the West, but the other half of our time together will be devoted to class discussion of major literary, philosophical, religious and artistic works that have been produced within that story. Students will have abundant opportunity to work more fully with the material we cover in written exams and longer essays.
Professor Biography: Dr. Jerry Soneson, who came to UNI in 1991, is the Head of the Department of Philosophy and World Religions. He has also been part of the Honors Program since it began, often teaching honors sections of Humanities I and III, twice teaching the Presidential Scholars Seminar, The Holocaust and Religion, the honors capstone course, The Holocaust in Literature and Film, and co-teaching the Honors Seminar, The Idea of the University and Moral Education in Literature and Film. Specializing in philosophy, religion and ethics during the Modern Period, he likes to ask, to think, to write about, and to discuss with students matters which have to do with the great questions of life, such as good and evil, freedom and bondage, war and peace, tragedy and hope, ideals that make life worth living, and why humans all too often seem to blow it. He loves to teach Humanities I and Humanities III because it gives him the chance to explore all of these topics with students within the historical setting of past – Ancient, Classical and Medieval, in the case of Humanities I, and Modern, in the case of Humanities III.
HUM 1023-02 Humanities III with Dr. Emily Machen, 9:30-10:45 TTh
Fulfills LAC Category 2A
Course Description: This class will introduce students to the major themes in the history of Western Europe from the French Revolution to the present. We will study history's "big" events, including wars and revolutions. However, rather than exploring World War I or the Cold War from a purely political or military point of view, we will investigate how these events impact human society. Students will determine how war, revolution, and social upheaval shape people's lives depending on where they live, their social class, and their race and gender. Men and women often experiences events differently. The same is true for minorities. The experiences of a Senegalese soldier or a woman ambulance driver during World War I differ from the experiences of European men on the front lines or politicians on the home front. Students will build an understanding of how Western society develops by delving into a variety of sources produced during the eras we study. Reading materials will be supplemented by images and film clips that add an important visual component to the course. The class will incorporate a combination of lect
This class will also include a current events element. History is not simply about what happened in the past. It should also help students understand contemporary society and current problems. As a result, throughout the semester, we will be discussing important stories showing up in the news. We will situate these stories into their historical context so that students know why Europe is experiencing a growth in far right political parties or what is motivating Ukrainians to protest against their government. By the end of the course, students will understand how Western societies have developed and how that development shapes our contemporary world.
Professor Biography: Emily Machen is an associate professor of history. She is a specialist in modern Europe with an emphasis in French women's history. She received an undergraduate degree from Southeast Missouri State University, where she studied history and French, and a Ph.D. from the University of Mississippi.

She teaches a variety of classes, including Modern France, European Society and the Great War, European Women's History, and Humanities III. She enjoys all of her classes and tries to engage students by incorporating news and documentary video clips, images, and artifacts related to various historical periods.
HUM 3122-03 Japan with Dr. Cynthia Dunn, 11:00-11:50 MWF
Fulfills LAC Category 2B
Course Description: This course is an introduction to Japanese culture from an anthropological perspective. Its purpose is to enable you to gain a basic familiarity with Japanese culture and society while also gaining a new perspective on your own culture and the diversity of human experience. Throughout the course we will explore how cultural patterns such as group-belonging, social hierarchy, role-reciprocity and social relativism account or fail to account for a variety of Japanese social institutions and life experiences. We begin with a basic orientation to Japanese geography and history. From there our exploration moves to the small-scale units of the family and local community, gradually broadening to encompass larger social institutions related to religion, education, arts and entertainment, the workplace, and government.
Professor Biography: Cyndi Dunn is an associate professor of anthropology with a specialization in Japanese language and culture. She spent two years teaching English in Japan before completing her Ph.D. in linguistic anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin.

In 2008, she returned to Japan for a six-month study of the business etiquette training given to new employees at Japanese companies.
POL AMER 1014-06 Introduction to American Politics with Dr. Justin Holmes, 2:00-3:15 TTh
Fulfills LAC Category VA
Course Description: The American Republic has lasted more than 200 years, despite radical changes in society, technology, and the world context it is situated in. While there is considerable consistency in the ideas behind American government, situational pressures have required constant adaptation. Developments and events of the last few years such as the internet, 9/11 and the ensuing war on terror, and the recent recession have presented challenges to American politics. In this class, we will look at both the historical origins and contemporary manifestations of American democracy, political institutions, and the public itself. Specific topics will include institutions of government, political participation, civil rights and civil liberties, the mass media and public opinion, elections and representation, and governance in the internet age. We will be going into particular depth on political campaigning (with a focus on the 2012 election) and congressional gridlock.
Classes will be in the lecture discussion format, with considerable discussion. Each student will be responsible for leading class for a portion of one day. There will be two reflection papers, and 3 exams.
Professor Biography: Justin Holmes is an Assistant Professor of Political Science. He earned his PhD from the University of Minnesota. He has been at UNI since 2008, after previously teaching at the University of Minnesota and Gustavus Adolphus College. Holmes' research and teaching focuses on Public Opinion, Voting Behavior, Political Communication, and Political Psychology. Recent projects include studies of the psychology of the impact of negative information on presidential approval, a study of how citizens form opinions about intervening in foreign conflicts, an examination of how campaigns and interest group use new media to mobilize supporters, and a study of the role of emotion in citizens' political participation. During election season, Holmes' is a frequent interviewee on both local and national media.
PHIL 1020-05 Philosophy: The Art of Thinking with Dr. Margaret Holland, 2:00-3:15 TTh (Class in Honors Cottage)
Fulfills LAC Category IIIB
Course Description: Philosophy takes as its subject matter, and critically examines, all human activities and beliefs. It asks questions about the fundamental nature of reality, knowledge, goodness and beauty. Western philosophy began in ancient Greece with thinkers who investigated nature and the physical world. Later thinkers directed their attention to human life and conduct. They then went on to examine questions about the nature of reality, the foundations of knowledge, politics and moral value. In this course students will have the opportunity to acquire first-hand knowledge of the concerns and methods of the best in our philosophical heritage. We will focus on notable themes, as well as points of agreement and disagreement among various thinkers. My hope is that students will complete the course with an understanding of the philosophical tradition, and an appreciation for the activity of critical and reflective thinking. Honors students will have the opportunity to research one of the branches of Philosophy and give the class a short presentation on the branch she or he selects.
Professor Biography: Margaret Holland is an Associate Professor of Philosophy. She has a M.A. in Philosophy from Boston College and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She has been teaching classes such as Ethics, Ancient Philosophy, the Philosophy of Art, and Philosophy: The Art of Thinking at UNI since 1991. She particularly enjoys classes with a good deal of student participation. Professor Holland had a very good experience teaching an Honors section of this class a few years ago; she looks forward to working with Honors students this Fall.
STAT 1772-10 Introduction to Statistics with Dr. Mark Ecker, 12:30-1:45 TTh
Fulfills LAC Category IC
Course Description: The Honors Introductory Statistics course covers the topics of: descriptive statistics, probability, random variables, sampling distributions, inferential statistics, confidence intervals and hypothesis tests. Students will be exposed to critical statistical thinking, along with the statistical software package, S-Plus. Emphasis will be on real world applications of pertinent statistical methods and ideas. Students will collect data on a topic of interest to them and analyze the data using the tools learned in the classroom.
Professor Biography: I am Professor of Statistics in the Department of Mathematics at UNI, where I specialize in the area of spatial prediction and modeling using Bayesian and Geostatistical techniques. My research involves developing methodology for spatial association often present in environmental and economic data. Recently, I have worked as part of a multidisciplinary team of chemists, biologists, and environmental scientists at the University of Northern Iowa analyzing water quality data in Iowa's lakes and wetlands. I currently work with Iowa Workforce Development and the Institute for Decision Making to forecast the potential available workers in laborsheds across Iowa. My most recent research project involves developing new statistical techniques to measure the negative or positive financial impact on housing prices from living close to a point source, such as a hoglot, nuclear power plant or a highly desirable school.
ANTH 3103-02 (same as REL 3103) Religion, Magic, and Witchcraft with Dr. Anne Woodrick, 5:30-8:20 M
Course Description: Religion, Magic and Witchcraft is organized as an informal, discussion seminar with minimal lecturing. The course materials emphasize a comparative and anthropological approach to the study of religion, magic and witchcraft. We begin with an overview of theoretical frameworks that "explain" religious beliefs and practices. We will put on various theoretical "hats" and analyze religion in the films "Holy Ghost People" and "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher" and the short novel "A Saint is Born in Chimá." Next we will focus on the topics of religion, magic and witchcraft through a comparison of contemporary African witchcraft and an early American colonial society (Salem, Mass). Finally we examine the religious traditions in the US that are outside of mainstream practices: vodou and neo-paganism.
My goals for the class are to acquaint students with the diversity of theoretical options available for the explanation and interpretation of religious life and to provide students with the opportunity to analyze ethnographic religious data. Students will improve their abilities to communicate their own ideas and reactions to course readings to others, and to listen, understand, and respond in a meaningful way to the comments made by classmates and the professor. Course requirements include a reading journal, attendance and discussion, a formal (written) analysis of religion in Chimá, a final essay exam, and tentatively, a PowerPoint presentation comparing US neo-paganism with another US religion of your choice.
Professor Biography: Dr. Anne Woodrick is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Northern Iowa. She received her BA in Anthropology from the University of Michigan and her doctorate from the University of California, San Diego. She has been a member of the UNI faculty since 1988.

Dr. Woodrick participated in ethnographic studies in Temax, Yucatán, Mexico, rural Central Mexico and among Latino immigrants in Marshalltown, Sioux City and Hampton, Iowa.
UNIV 1092-01 Presidential Scholars Seminar: Civic and Community Engagement with Dr. Oksana Grybovych, 2:00-3:50 M (class in Honors Cottage)
**2 credit hour seminar - 1st year Presidential Scholars ONLY
Course Description: Throughout history, philosophers, political theorists, and citizen activists have argued that the existence of a vibrant and just democracy demands much more of citizens than a periodic vote cast in a ballot box, and that citizens must become actively engaged in addressing the social and political problems facing their communities and the larger society. In turn, effective engagement demands that public be educated in particular ways so that they are able to participate in this activity.
This course will provide a unique opportunity to get involved and be a part of the community. Students will hear from local leaders and activists, take field trips to explore neighborhoods and visit community organizations, and engage in real world, hands-on community-based civic engagement project. Along the way we will explore a range of topics in civic and community engagement, and reflect and think critically about issues related to these topics. Areas to be explored will include concepts of civic engagement, strategies and models of effective engagement, civic agency, service learning, and the role of education in preparing youth for civic engagement.
Professor Biography: Oksana Grybovych is an Associate Professor in the Division of Leisure, Youth and Human Services, and a project coordinator with the Sustainable Tourism and Environment Program.

**2 credit hour seminar - Sophomore standing
Course Description: We spend most of our lives in buildings: homes and apartments, schools, stores and shops, and the workplace. How and why did these structures take the shapes and forms they have? What effects do they have on us? What meanings do they acquire? Even when we are outdoors we are often on streets, in parks, towns, and on campus. These places were all created by people. Why are we drawn to cities, suburbs, or the farm? The sum of all of these places is called the Built Environment. Are virtual environments becoming equally important? This course is an examination of our built environments. Guest speakers, discussions, reading, fieldwork, research, presentations, and reflective writing will all be a part of this course.

Officials to soon hear options on expanding convention center
Officials at the Wisconsin Center District are expected to learn this month the details of what an expanded convention center might look like and how it would be financed.
A recent report by the Public Policy Forum concluded the cost of an expansion is estimated at between $300 million and $400 million, although officials say the actual figure for such a project could be lower.
The report noted that the high end of that estimate takes into account the need for additional parking.
Last year, the district hired HVS, a widely known consulting firm that specializes in evaluating convention space. HVS surveyed meeting planners about Milwaukee and is now in the final stages of a draft report that will make a recommendation to the Wisconsin Center District board.
The district operates the Wisconsin Center, U.S. Cellular Arena and the Milwaukee Theatre.
Paul Upchurch, president and CEO of Visit Milwaukee, which split the $60,000 cost of the HVS contract with the district, said consultants told him that if district officials do nothing, they can expect less convention business in the future.
While it is widely expected that HVS will recommend expansion of the Wisconsin Center, the scope of expansion and how it would be financed are not known. Upchurch said HVS is expected to produce a detailed analysis that will explore specific design options for an expanded convention center, plus financial options on how to pay for it.
The Wisconsin Center currently totals 189,000 square feet, which is considerably smaller than convention centers in similar-sized markets. The St. Louis convention center is 502,000 square feet, while Minneapolis has more than 475,000 square feet of convention space.
The study will have to balance how much larger the Wisconsin Center should be, and how much more convention revenue could be generated, Upchurch said.
Franklyn Gimbel, the district's board chairman, said Wednesday it is important to consider an expansion.
"We contribute to the economy of Milwaukee 365 days a year," Gimbel said. "If we don't have an event at one venue, we have an event at another one of our venues.
"The hospitality industry also is dependent on the viability of the Wisconsin Center District. And I include the hotels, the restaurants, the bars, the parking, and the values of real estate in and around downtown. We're a kid that people should pay attention to."
The HVS report comes at a time when the Cultural and Entertainment Capital Needs Task Force has been meeting to discuss recommendations on the future of the region's cultural, artistic and sports institutions.
Gimbel said the HVS report would be forwarded to the task force for further discussion.
One financial advantage the Wisconsin Center District has is that it already collects sales-tax revenue. Within Milwaukee County, the district collects a 2.5% tax on hotel rooms, a 3% tax on car rentals and a 0.5% tax on food and beverage sales. The district also receives a 7% hotel room tax formerly collected by the city of Milwaukee.
In 2013, the district collected nearly $28 million from the various taxes. The district's operations are funded by operating revenue. The tax collections are used to repay a $185 million bond issue that funded the original convention center project.
Changes ahead
The possibility of expanding the convention center also comes at a time of change at the district. Gimbel's term on the board technically expired in May 2013, but he has continued to serve pending a new appointment by Gov. Scott Walker.
Meanwhile, Richard Geyer, the district's longtime president and CEO, is stepping down on April 30. While the district looks for a new CEO, the board agreed on Wednesday to hire Geyer as a $200-an-hour consultant for up to a year's time, Gimbel said.
"The consultant contract is designed to be an aid inherent to the anticipated transition process to a new president," said Jeff Sinkovec, the district's director of finance and accounting. "How much that will be utilized will obviously depend on the person hired. However, we would expect that the person hired will bring a high level of ability to that position and would likely only need a very modest amount of transition assistance."

Am planning to go heavier into homebuildingstocks. Got one now, WHI. BZH looks to me like one of the3 or 4 other best values.However, I do noticethat they got a below average rating in the JD PowerPhoenix survey. I wish they showed the point score- butthey only show it for the above average ones. If theyscored a 98-99, then I would figure no big deal. And, Ibelieve I saw a few complaints about them on old posts onthis board, although you always have to take thosewith a grain of salt.Any additional opinionson the quality of BZH homes? To me thestrong points on BZH are an extremely low PSR of 0.11,and big revenue growth from 98 to 99.
As one of the many who have experienced the poorcommunication, workmanship, and a general lack of empathy fromthe Beazer community, I would strongly suggest youlook elsewhere. As one of their customers, I have seendeadlines go before quality, homes built up on substandardslabs, inadequate patchwork to mask bigger problems andgeneral mismanagement. One of the homes in mysubdivision, which had reached frame, full plumbing andelectrical, with roof shingled windows in etc, was determinedto have an inadequate foundation. 4-5 weeks ofmanpower, cranes, etc went into dismantling this rathersmall (1900 sf) home in a manner in which the woodframing could potentially be reused . The house wasoriginally framed inside of a week. Points being: Itwas obvious that the home should not have been builton this slab, but construction continued nonethelessWas any money actually realized by enlisting thelarge amount of manpower and equipment for an extendedtime to " save the wood" rather than scrapping andstarting over. Closing on this house will easily be pushedback two quarters. Does this sound likeintelligent business?

Kim CheeseSubmitted by alicia on Mon, 2011-04-18 00:23
The hot weather is coming back, and it's time for another cool vegan protein recipe.
Kim cheese was inspired by a spread I tasted at the Maui Four Seasons Hotel's restaurant about 20 years ago. Theirs was a spread served with thin slices of a dense, dark bread with walnuts in it, and it was made from cream cheese, mayonnaise and kim chee, Korea's fiery pickled Napa cabbage. Pacific fusion cuisine, I guess. I liked it.
I already knew I could make a vegan sour cream or cottage cheese by blending tofu, Veganaise and ume vinegar in the food processor. So I added kim chee to this, and liked the result.
I realized, though, with the sour and salty ume vinegar and the pungent kim chee, I didn't need the extra flavor of the Veganaise, and I substituted olive oil, and liked it even better.
I use this spread on baked potatoes, steamed cauliflower, puffed brown rice cakes, cucumber slices, or whole grain pasta.
I vary the consistency from dense to runny by the type of tofu I use. Extra firm tofu makes a thick spread, better for crackers or cucumber slices. Silken tofu makes a runny sauce to pour over pasta or vegetables.
Here are the ingredients:
One 8 ounce block of tofu (from organic, non-GMO soybeans. SprouTofu's my fave.)
One 8 ounce jar of spicy kim chee (preferably organic, certainly without MSG)
2 tablespoons of organic extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons of ume vinegar (Japanese plum vinegar, made from the pickling of unripe plums. It is salty. You can skip it if you are avoiding salt. You can certainly add more if you prefer a saltier taste to your kim cheese.)
Place them all in a food processor and blend until smooth. Chill until serving.
Alicia Plays the Puna Music Festival in HawaiiSubmitted by alicia on Tue, 2011-03-29 08:56
I'm playing slack key guitar and singing hula music at 3 PM on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at the Puna Music Festival at Kalani Honua Oceanside Retreat on the Big Island. May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii, and I'll be wearing flowers, for sure. (That's me in the blue and white mu'u mu'u on the poster.)
Not only do I perform, but, at 1 PM, I'll be teaching a one-hour slack key guitar class. Admission to the festival is $25 per adult and $10 per child for the whole day (10 AM to 8 PM). If you want the guitar class, that's an additional $15. Kalani Honua grows its own fruits and veggies organically and their chefs make delicious super-healthful meals. I recommend making a reservation to have dinner at their restaurant. I certainly will.
The festival falls on the day after the grand finale of the annual Merrie Monarch Festival at the Edith Kanaka'ole Stadium in nearby Hilo (and, for many years, on KITV. This year it's televised, plus streaming on the Internet, on KFVE).
I think of the Merrie Monarch as a sort of Hula Olympics, a competition of the best of the best, plus pageantry, floral arrangements and aloha galore.
All of the very uncomfortable cement seats of the stadium are always completely sold out five months in advance for all three nights. The girls in the audience scream like rock fans at the end of each hula. It is Hilo's glory weekend for visitors. But the TV footage, with gorgeous closeups of the dancers, is, IMHO, a better view than the one from the bleachers. So, unless I find myself watching it with friends on their TV, I will watch it on my laptop. I always weep with joy watching hula kahiko; the earthy spirituality of this ancient dance overwhelms me.
However, I'm not a trained in Hawaiian chant; I sing songs, so my hula set with be all hula auana. The hula dancers for my set include Richard Koob, founder/director of Kalani Honua, and Kalani Honua staff members Lynda Tu'a and Jonathan Kaleikaukeha Kimo Lopez, plus Robbie McGrath, who teaches hula at University of Hawaii Hilo, and four of her students.
Lynda promises to do a couple of "rascal hulas," that is, sexy, naughty and funny interpretations of standard hula choreographies. "We gonna kolohe da house," she told me.

Recent Art Collaborations in JapanSubmitted by alicia on Wed, 2010-10-27 15:28
I've done a lot of art collaborating in Japan via internet this year, thanks in great part to my art agent, Keisuke Era, who is also the director of Kurkku, an arts and environmental action center in the Harajuku district of Tokyo. Kurkku is funded by Artist Power Bank, a not-for-profit with impressive environmental protection projects like Pre Organic Cotton.
POC is an organization that approaches cotton farmers in India and offers to support them for the three years it takes to transition from petro-chemical agriculture to organic agriculture, inspect their farms to be sure the soil and plants are chemical-free and healthy, and then buy all the cotton they grow from that time onward. POC then approaches major clothing manufacturers and sells them organic cotton. Lee Jeans Japan made a line of women's jeans from POC's organic cotton this past year, and when they did, I was hired to illustrate a booklet that was attached to each pair of jeans. (Major advantage: some villages in India no longer have carcinogens in their water supply and in the air surrounding their cotton fields.) Here's the cover of the booklet:
When Artist Power Bank (aka ap bank) held their annual summer rock festival in 2009, I was hired to design a jacquard towel and a t-shirt drawing as festival merchandise, and, of course, both were made of organic cotton.
Here is the 2010 festival towel, designed by Aiko Shiratori of Artist Power Bank, using a drawing she requested from me of a large flower (I made an Echinacea blossom). Keisuke said the festival looked like a field of yellow and blue flowers, so many of the attendees had them wrapped around their shoulders.
Kurkku's merchandise designers, Miyumi Ichikawa and Yoshiko Takeuchi decided to have a traditional tenugui maker in Kyoto print some tenugui for them on Pre Organic Cotton's fabric, and commissioned a design from me for it. They requested an image of a little girl playing in the woods. Here it is:
Here are my collaborators. The gentleman on the left is Keisuke Era. On the right side, in the red shawl is Kurkku's Miyumi Ichikawa and, to her left, Yoshiko Takeuchi. Next to them, in very dark blue, is Aiko Shiratori, who designed the merchandise for Artist Power Bank's festival this year.
This is an information sheet on the tenugui. It explains that the image was printed in four different traditional colors: pine green, the brown of bamboo shoot, the yellow of "silver grass" and pink of a flower called "Sakichiku."
In Which I Illustrate a Pouch and a Shawl for a Major Japanese Pop StarSubmitted by alicia on Mon, 2010-10-25 10:12
A few blog posts ago, I promised that when the shawl and pouch I illustrated for Sony artist Yuki's 2010 tour were available for viewing on line, I would share them with you. So I am happy to say, here they are!
This is the artist herself holding on her head a pouch shaped like one of my birds, printed with part of the illustration I made for the shawl that she described and I drew. It's lined with lavender satin, and embroidered with metallic gold thread.
Here she is, wrapped in her own poetry and the images she suggested to me, in a long and lovely natural gauze shawl. The images on the shawl are from the poem (actually a song lyric) which she wrote in English, and which I wrote in my handwriting into the images on the shawl. As of today, October 26, 2010, the shawl has completely sold out.
Here's the whole webpage, for closer inspection.
Here's a Youtube of Yuki singing in a set right out of The Little Prince.
I realized tonight that this is the second time I've seen my drawings adorn a Japanese pop star. The first time was in 2007, when the duo Puffy Amiyumi was photographed for a teen fashion magazine, and one of them wore a Living on the Earth print dress by Aya Noguchi.
Alicia Bay Laurel Patchwork on Display in San FranciscoSubmitted by alicia on Tue, 2010-09-14 21:26
The autobiographical patchwork crazy quilt that I made between 1967 and 1974 will be on display in the lobby of the historic Mills Building in downtown San Francisco from October 18, 2010 to January 15, 2011 as part of a show called "Still Crazy," which includes Victorian and 20th century crazy quilts, loaned by the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. Deborah Corsini, curator at SJMQT, created the show. If you are in San Francisco, please come see it!
The piece is 8 feet high and 5 feet wide, and contains "guest embroideries" by author Ray Mungo and composer/author Ramon Sender, as well as a small piece by Santa Cruz quilter Charlotte Lyons, who lived at Wheeler Ranch commune when I was writing and illustrating Living on the Earth.
Curator Deborah Corsini wrote:
"Alicia Bay Laurel's crazy quilt is an excellent example of a 20th century crazy quilt from the decades of the 1960s - 1970s. It is composed of a multitude of irregularly shaped fabrics, many typical of the time period. There are large scale printed florals and smaller ditsy prints as well as embroidered and woven lace. Many of the blocks contain unique and personal appliqued and embroidered scenes. Some examples that clearly reflect on the universal (and astrological) themes that were of interest at the time are a God's eye and embroidered solar system, a bull (her sun sign), and a flying lion (for Leo rising in her natal chart.) Other blocks charmingly depict the Sausalito houseboat where she lived in 1967 and her guitar with "real" strings. Like the crazy quilts of the 19th century, the one is filled with symbolic and personal references, and clearly references the cultural influences that were surrounding her. Most importantly, this quilt has an embroidered date, 1967 - 1974, and an embroidered signature, Alicia bay laurel, which gives it true authenticity.
"...it is especially compelling because it is the authentic handiwork of a well-known woman, artist, author and creative spirit from that extraordinary 'hippie' time. Alicia Bay Laurel's crazy quilt is an excellent example of the continuum of the crazy quilt's evolution and is a singular artifact by a multi-talented artist as a part of her early creative output and rich legacy."
Here I am on the last day of the show, January 14, 2011 with my quilt. You might find a few differences between this one and the one at the photo at the top, which was taken in 2002. That's because the quilt suffered some damage in 2008 and has since been expertly restored by Karen Stern at her quilt and textile restoration studio in Berkeley.
2010 Japan Tour ScheduleSubmitted by alicia on Sun, 2010-09-12 22:56

October 15 Concert at Nanso Bunka Hall in Tateyama

It was a fabulous and eclectic offering. At one point there was a taiko drum troupe, a belly dancer and an African dancer all performing together. Here's the finale piece in RabiRabi x Piko's set, with the belly dancer and the African dancer on stage with them:
October 22 and 23 Concerts at Yukotopia Deadheadsland

October 29-31 "Happy Flower Seed Party" (spiritual retreat) at Donto-in, Tamagusuku, Okinawa hosted and lead by Sachiho Kojima. Unplugged Concert with RabiRabi x Piko, Lakita Kudomi, Sachiho Kojima and me on 10/29. I teach an art workshop on 10/31. Please contact me if you'd like to join us!
A typhoon postponed the outdoor concert at Hamabe No Chaya from 10/29 to 10/31, so we had an unplugged indoor candle light concert at Donto-in on the 29th in addition to the outdoor show on the 31st. Hamabe No Chaya is a tea house with windows looking out over a calm bay enclosed by a coral reef. The stage was actually erected on the sand below the high water line, at low tide. The first act was a wonderful Okinawan traditional singer, next Sachiho played her lyre and sang spiritual songs, then I played guitar and sang original songs, and last RabiRabi played and everyone else danced.
The workshop included Sachiho's sacred sites of Tamagusuku tour, this time augmented by the presence of Professor Hiroshi Nago, who has researched and written extensively about the Tamagusuku castle ruins. He brought a slice of a rare seashell that is found on the outside of the coral reefs in Okinawa, and showed us that the entire structure of the castle is based on the structure of this shell.
I lead the workshop participants in making visualization altars from found objects, including shells we picked at the beach. I was astonished, when each person shared after building his or her altar, how deeply we are all thinking and feeling after visiting the sacred sites of Tamagusuku.
November 3 Concert at Café Unizon in Ginowan, Okinawa, on the closing date of a one-month art show of original drawings from Living on the Earth. Alicia Bay Laurel plus all-woman trance band Amana.
Cafe Unizon's sophisticated and comfortable room has a big view of Ginowan city, with the ocean in the distance. They always have an art show installed, lots of great books for sale and excellent food. Sachiho (on electric bass), Yoko Nema (on harmonium) and I had a great time playing original songs together. Mingo Kazumi did an improvisational modern dance to my autobiographical song 1966. Yoko lead a yoga breathing session between the session in which I talked about my art and the session inwhich she and I and Sachiho performed. Mieda-san, the owner, invited me back for next year!
November 28 3 PM Concert at Alishan Organic Center
Komahongo 185-2 , Hidaka-shi,
Saitama-ken, Japan 350-1251
office phone +81-(0)429-82-4811
Alishan Organic Center is a beautiful building overlooking a river. It houses an organic food wholesale and retail company owned by Jack Bayles, and a cafe and event space, where art classes, healing classes, and other community events are held. If you shop for organic foods anywhere in Japan, you are likely to find their products. Alishan is named after a mountainous area in Taiwan, the birthplace of Jack's wife.
At 11 AM, Liane Wakabayashi will present her fascinating Genesis art workshop at Alishan, and at 3 PM I'll sing my songs about the natural, organic life that Alishan Organic Center is all about. For my concert, admission is 1500 yen, and includes a beverage. Liane's workshop also has an admission fee of 1500 yen and includes tea service.
Liane and I had a wonderful day together riding to remote Hidaka village on the train and doing our respective events. I had a standing room only audience, and Mingo Kazumi came all the way from Tokyo to dance for me on the song 1966 again. Jack invited me to come back and perform next year!
December 1 Opening at Gallery Le Deco, in Shibuya, Tokyo, of a new fashion line by Kaorico Ago owner/designer of Little Eagle and Lotus Heart fashion labels, some printed with drawings from Living on the Earth by Alicia Bay Laurel. The garments are manufactured from organically grown cotton and linen and hand sewn in a fair trade factory in India. The show will also feature framed original drawings from Living on the Earth. There will be no music on December 1, but the next three nights there will be plenty!
Gallery Le Deco is on Meijidori, about one minute walk from the new south entrance to the JR Shibuya Station, or a five minute walk from the east entrance. Phone 03 5485 5188.
December 2 show begins at 6:30 PM (18:30) with a hula kahiko halau (group) in performance, followed by a musical performance by Peace-K and Han-chan, and after that, an hour of Hawaiian songs and slack key guitar by Alicia Bay Laurel. Admission is 1200 yen in advance or 1500 yen at the door.
December 3 show begins at 6:30 PM (18:30) with the band Monk Beat, then Peace-K and Han-chan, and then Yammie, the creator of the Yappooo television series for children, will show a video of her latest work. At the end, an hour of songs about the natural organic life by Alicia Bay Laurel. Admission is 1200 yen in advance and 1500 yen at the door.
December 4 show begins at 6:30 PM with a modern dance by Shizuno, a dancer based in New York and Hawaii. Next, the wonderful singer/songwriter Yoshie Ebihara will perform. After Yoshie, Alicia will perform 45 minutes of original music, and finally, the great traditional Japanese vocalist Ikue Asazaki will thrill us with her songs. Admission is 1500 yen in advance and 1800 yen at the door.
Advance tickets may be purchased at Le Deco Gallery.
This had to have been the most astonishing three days of my life. Each night the place was packed, and on the last night there were lines in the street of people waiting to come in, including many of my dearest friends. The staff had to take the potted plants out of the gallery to make room for everyone who wanted to stand. I can't take credit for this; the line-up on that night was stellar, and three very famous singers, Ua, Ikuko and Sandii Manumele came and performed in addition.
The reason so many great performers came to sing on behalf of Kaorico and her clothing is because Kaorico's clothes are not just fashion. They express a philosophy that reveres Native American spirituality, Hawaiian spirituality, the works of Mother Teresa and Gandhi, and my book, Living on the Earth. All of these are about naturalness and simplicity, loving the earth as our common mother, and seeing all beings as family. Kaorico's newest line of clothing is called "Loving and Sharing."
John Perkins interview on Democracy NowSubmitted by alicia on Thu, 2010-09-02 09:44
John Perkins is astonishing: a former planner and participant in the crimes of multinational corporations who now calls for global social justice and sustainability as the requirements for corporate charters.
In this 15-minute interview (on 2 YouTubes) with Amy Goodman, John Perkins shares what he learned during his service to the cause of global empire, and how he sees the world since his epiphany.
Why Stewart Brand is wrong on nukes---and is losingSubmitted by alicia on Wed, 2010-07-28 18:49
By Harvey Wasserman
Senior Editor
The Free Press
July 25, 2010
(this is a segment from the middle of the article)
Stewart Brand now seems to equate "science" with a tragic and dangerous corporate agenda. The technologies for which he argues – nuclear power, "clean" coal, genetically modified crops, etc. – can be very profitable for big corporations, but carry huge risks for the rest of us. In too many instances, tangible damage has already been done, and more is clearly threatened.
If there is a warning light for what Stewart advocates, it is the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which much of the oil industry said (like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl) was "impossible." Then it happened. The $75 million liability limit protecting BP should be ample warning that any technology with a legal liability limit (like nuclear power) cannot be tolerated.
Thankfully, there is good news: We have true green alternatives to these failed 20th-century ideas. They're cheaper, safer, cleaner, more reliable and more job-producing than the old ways Stewart advocates.
Note from Alicia: I post this with some sadness. In early spring 1970, I brought Living on the Earth to Stewart Brand at the Whole Earth Catalog, when it was an unfinished manuscript with illustrations. Stewart directed me to Whole Earth Catalog's distributor Book People to help me find a publisher for it, and offered to review it in the Catalog once it was published. This one act of kindness changed my entire life as an artist. I am astonished that his clear voice for the preservation of the Earth has come to carry the messages for the nuclear power, coal and biotech industries.
My Second Interview on Art With EnyartSubmitted by alicia on Wed, 2010-06-23 10:24
On June 21, 2010, Jack Enyart interviewed me for a second time on Art with Enyart, his twice-monthly webcast about artists and their ways and means.
This time I sang my song Rinpoche at the end, accompanied by my friend Larry Karush, a wonderful jazz pianist.
Here's the link where you can see both of my interviews, as well as other very interesting shows that Jack Enyart has hosted.

Hurricanes' Scott Returning From Injury
Source: Manny Navarro, Miami Herald
Despite leaving Chapel Hill, N.C., eight days ago licking its wounds, the University of Miami (6-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) heads into Saturday?s game against visiting Wake Forest (4-3, 2-2) relatively healthy and with receiver Rashawn Scott back in the mix.
Scott, UM?s second-leading receiver last season, hasn?t played since injuring his shoulder while make a diving catch in the opener against FAU. But after appearing as doubtful for last week?s game, Scott wasn?t listed at all on UM?s injury report Thursday, a welcome return considering Phillip Dorsett will be out at least four to six weeks with a partial tear of his MCL.

San Jacinto's representatives in the TAPPS girls basketball all-star games might not have gotten the result they wanted, but they got a nice start for the summer vacation.
The North TAPPS all-stars beat the South all-stars, 54-48, on Saturday at San Antonio Christian School. San Jacinto's Kim Galarza and Sarah Ryan saw extensive playing time for the South, which was coached by San Jacinto head coach Jeff Bearden.
Galarza scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds and handed out four assists. Sarah Ryan scored six points with eight rebounds and four assists. Galarza and Ryan are juniors and will be back next season for Bearden.
The South played about even with the North until the third quarter when the North jumped to a 17-point lead. After falling into the big deficit, the South could not recover.
"They put us on the South and I can't figure that out," Bearden said. "We played well except for that third quarter. But I had fun. It was the first time I'd coached in an all-star game so that was a lot of fun. The kids played well and we all had fun."

Travel Updates
Credit card travel insurance AOK: Choice
- From: news.com.au
- December 14, 2011
TRAVEL insurance that comes with credit cards is just as good as stand-alone policies, but the paperwork is too long and complex, a new CHOICE study has found.
The consumer advocacy group compared 59 credit cards from 17 institutions that offer complimentary international travel insurance to card holders.
"If you've avoided credit card travel insurance because you've heard it's not as good as a stand-alone policy, then think again,'' CHOICE spokeswoman Ingrid Just said.
"We were pleasantly surprised by the level of coverage some card policies provide.''
But CHOICE found the policy disclosure statements were too long and complex.
"Most policy documents have over 50 pages, and that's a turn-off for anyone,'' Ms Just said.
"If they don't check the whole document they could miss vital information that makes the difference between being insured or not.''
CHOICE found that, in most product disclosure statements compared in the review, a person would have to read at least 20 pages before getting to vital information about the need to activate the travel insurance by buying at least part of their ticket on the card.
"We believe that vital information should be front and centre on the first page, not buried deep in the document,'' Ms Just said.
All of the cards CHOICE looked at provided unlimited or very high levels of cover for medical and cancellation expenses overseas, but Ms Just said you need to be aware of any exclusions.

The Chicago White Sox enjoyed a season of surpassed expectations in 2012. Led by first-year manager Robin Ventura, the White Sox spent 117 days in first place before fading the final two weeks and finishing second to the Detroit Tigers.
It was a great season on the South Side of Chicago for the White Sox.
Where does the 2012 season rank in the annals of White Sox history over the past 25 years, though?
A better question is: Which White Sox teams would make the list for the 10 greatest during that stretch?
Is the 2005 World Series team the best, or does the 1983 "Winning Ugly" incarnation of the White Sox have the statistical edge? What about the "South Side Hitmen" of 1977 or the "Win or Die Trying" bunch from 2006?
We shall see.
Here are the Top 10 White Sox squads over the last 35 years, with one honorable mention.

Gary Allan on new songs, vocal surgery
When I talked to Gary Allan earlier this week, we covered more ground than was able to fit in the full feature that appears here on Tap Milwaukee. Here is more of the conversation we shared as he waited to make a Monday night appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." (Click here to watch his spot on the show.)
As Allan prepares to visit The Rave tonight, he discussed why he thought "Tough Goodbye," the lead song (co-written by Cedarburg native Josh Thompson) from his Billboard chart-topping new album, "Set You Free," would be the first single. He also talked about how a vocal cord operation that he underwent just before recording the album has made him feel like a whole new singer, and his approach to Nashville after spending his early years (starting at 12 years old) playing honky tonks and clubs in California's Bakersfield-inspired country music scene. »Read Full Blog Post
