Isn't that a great title for a group contract at TESC? or, "art for community planners; a comprehensive "how to" recipe for the production of useful community space at virtually no cost to society" ~Integrate skills building workshops with tools like drawing, illustration, model-building, and Google "Sketch-Up". ~Encourage public collaboration with artists, designers, engineers, and planners, to save costs associated with the production of designs and plans required by the current community planning and development process. ~Formalize the design/build process and tool-set for non-professionals. ~Provide technical services to nonprofits and governments for the design/build process, focusing on resource development and capital facilities planning. So, in short, a "call to arms" to all local artists that seek work in urban planning and/or community development. I have found that the biggest obstacle to public participation in community development and/or urban planning is the prolific lack of skills in drawing and the ability to share visual ideas. I seek to coordinate public & private funding into a foundation to fund artists in the work of public planning & development. -any takers?

Jun 11 2009 - 7:00pm Jun 11 2009 - 8:00pm A young student from Olympia, Washington was given an english assignment to define what the American identity is. It seemed simple enough to spout the rhetoric of centuries past: "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," throwing in a few "freedoms" here-and-there. Unfortunately, that is not the reality of what is uniquely modern America. The perception of today's America abroad is stained with the wars and poorly operated foreign relationships of days-gone-by. There are starving youth in Africa, and wounded masses on the streets of Iraq and Somalia who see us Americans as their enemies. They are right. We have turned our backs on the wrong-doings, leaving countries torn apart for nothing more than money and oil. We are changing this reality. The American Identity resolves to wash the blood of innocence off our golden name, and bring an ultimate peace to our beautiful world. June 11, 2009 from 7:00pm to 8:00pm *We are going to set a strategy for the actions we are prepared to take. I want to make take this group all the way, and really change the world. It's going to take a village to raise this baby up! (Suggested donation of $5 per person to offset the rental of the space.)

Mar 5 2009 - 7:00pm Remembering Willi Thursday March 5, 2009, 7 pm The Evergreen State College, Seminar II Building, Room E1105 A founding faculty member of The Evergreen State College, Willi Unsoeld was a philosopher, theologian and mountaineer. He was well known for the first ascent of the West Ridge of Mt. Everest with Tom Hornbein, for which President John F. Kennedy presented them the Hubbard Medal, The National Geographic Society’s highest honor. Join members of the Evergreen community for a night of storytelling as we honor and remember Willi Unsoeld, who with student Janie Diepenbrock, perished in a slab avalanche on Mt. Rainier on March 4, 1979. Note: While this event is not part of the Unsoeld Seminar Series, information on this year’s Series is located at http://www.evergreen.edu/events/springcolloquium/home.htm

saw this sad story in the olympian. What a terrible thing to do. this is some of the story An audit at The Evergreen State College revealed that a professor with a study-abroad program to Chile hasn't accounted for at least $50,000 in student fees and other college money, and that he misrepresented the college by signing contracts with a Chilean company partly owned by his family.
