Reducing Veteran suicide is VA’s top clinical priority. In this presentation you will learn about the Suicide Prevention Program’s national initiatives as well as local efforts to prevent suicide among Veterans. Suicide is a national public health issue that affects everyone. Individuals do not need specialized mental health training to help someone who is suicidal. Simple effective interventions can make a real difference and save a life.

  • Creative Flow
    Using marine debris, painted silk, Creative Flow and paper, artist Pam Longobardi, Linda Gass, and Lauren Rosenthal Three Activist Artists advocate for greater consciousness by Sally Hansell of our fragile water systems. owerful new work by three activist artists addresses one of the nation’s most critical issues—the steady degradation of our precious water supply. Pam Lon- gobardi uses plastic trash collected on beaches to Pmake provocative art that points to the devastating dangers of plastic in our environment. Linda Gass creates vibrant paint- ed-silk quilt works depicting specific ecological hazards in San Francisco Bay. Lauren Rosenthal turns watershed data into cut- paper sculptures to demonstrate the interconnectedness of riv- ers and earthly organisms. Through their chosen media, these diverse artists advocate for a heightened global ecological con- sciousness. In 2006, Pam Longobardi launched an ongoing project called Drifters after encountering mounds of consumer waste on the beach at South Point, the southernmost tip of the Hawaiian Islands. The project includes photography, sculp- ture, public art, and installations made from the debris that washes up on shores around the world. The Atlanta artist creates “driftwebs” from abandoned drift nets, the miles-long fishing nets that wreak havoc on sea life, killing fish, mammals, turtles, and birds. She cuts and ties pieces of the nets to make installations resembling spider webs. Her intent is not only to draw attention to the dan- gerous plastic nets, but more importantly, to use their woven colorful forms as a dual metaphor for the predatory, destruc- tive behavior of humankind and the interconnectedness of the web of life.

  • Today's Downtown Gallery
    Today's Downtown Gallery: Public artwork created by the 1% for Public Art program codified in the Planning Code San Francisco's 1% For Art Program The groundbreaking "Downtown Plan” adopted in 1985, was developed under the fundamental assumption that significant employment and office development growth would occur. New commercial development would provide new revenue sources to cover a portion of the costs of necessary urban service improvements. Specific programs were created to satisfy needs for additional housing, transit, childcare, open space, and art. The public art requirement created by this plan is commonly known as the “1% for Art” program. This requirement, governed by Section 429 of the Planning Code, provides that construction of a new building or addition of 25,000 square feet or more within the downtown C‐3 district, triggers a requirement that provide public art that equals at least 1% of the total construction cost be provided. 1 TODAY’S DOWNTOWN GALLERY Today's Downtown Gallery: More than 25 years since the adoption of the Downtown Plan, has seen the growth of an extensive outdoor gallery downtown that enriches the environment for workers and tourists alike. The spirit of the 1% for Art requirement is to ensure that the public has access to high‐quality and variety in art. To help catalog the Downtown public art gallery and to increase public access to this art, the Planning Department has created a map displaying the locations and images of public art in the downtown district. This maps shows that 31 private development projects have resulted in 39 pieces of art in public open spaces or publically accessible locations.

The authors 1 This double issue of Variants: the Journal of the European Society for Textual Scholarship is the first to appear in Open Access on the Revues.org platform. In subject matter, this issue offers a wide scope covering the music manuscripts of the thirteenth-century French trouvère poet Thibaut de Champagne (expertly discussed by Christopher Callahan and Daniel E. O’Sullivan) to the digital genetic dossier of the twenty-first century Spanish experimental writer Robert Juan-Cantavella. The story of Juan- Cantavella’s “manuscripts” is an interesting: the dossier was handed on a USB stick to the scholar Bénédicte Vauthier for research; the files and their metadata became the subject of an extensive analysis of the writing history of his novel El Dorado (2008), proving that genetic criticism after the advent of the computer is still possible and necessary. In addition to Rüdiger Nutt-Kofoth’s detailed consideration of the concept of “variant” and “variation” in the German historical-critical tradition of scholarly editing, the current volume contains four more theoretical exploration of this topic, which formed the topic of the 2013 Annual Conference of the Society that was held in Paris in November 2013.

FOREWORD MICHIGAN'S early history and development, as well as that of adjacent states, was influenced materially by the industry that utilized the timber resources of the state. Much of' the wealth in the forest was extracted quickly by the lumber industry, supplying work to the pioneer, in addition to capital and building material to develop farms and villages. Log marks were an essential part of that lum­ ber industry. They were the outposts of law and order in pioneering communities where social controls were often weak. Stamped on a log, they carri~d the inviolate right of ownership of property on every stream and pond in north­ ern Michigan. Michigan has harvested most of its virgin timber crop, but it will not be many years, as ~ measured in the life of a state, before logging .t:~ and milling again will be a common sight and ~ an important part of the state's economy. While ~ the log mark will never return to occupy the ~ important role it once did, it undoubtedly will ~ -c: always be called upon in various ways to iden­ ~ tify raw forest products. A permanent record of log marks and of the industry that uses them is highly desirable. Hence, Michigan State College gladly accepted sponsorship of the WPA Writers' Project for this state-wide study and herewith publishes the results.
