From Virgil to Voltaire, TDawkins to Durkheim, it has given us a grounding in literature, philosophy, science, and social theory that will stay with us as we continue to cultivate the ability to use our minds. The Core certainly persuades us to do so, as it encourages us never to stop thinking in new ways. At the close of this spring semester, many of us will com- plete the program. The rest of us will look forward to that accomplishment, while enjoying the privilege of being a Core student. The twelfth edition of the Journal of the Core Curriculum is a collection of essays, dialogues, poems, and artwork produced by Core students. These works were chosen on the basis of clarity, originality, and qual- ity of both writing and thought. The authors and artists whose works are contained in this edition best express the experience of Core. There were many excellent sub- missions that could not be included here due to space constraints, and the editors found the task of making the final selections difficult. Sonia Pasthuov-Pastein and Suzyn-Elayne Soler, intrepid Core staff, also deserve praise for their organization and assistance. We also thank Dean Johnson for the invaluable hours he has con- tributed to the production of the Journal. We owe Zachary Bos and Agnes Gyorfi special thanks for their layout skills. The Journal is the work of many and would not have been possible without their help. Julia V.

  • Read an Excerpt
    The Artist Alive: Explorations in Music, Art & Theology, by Christopher Pramuk (Winona, MN: Anselm Academic, 2019). Copyright © 2019 by Christopher Pramuk. All rights reserved. www.anselmacademic.org. Introduction Seeds of Awareness This book is inspired by an undergraduate course called “Music, Art, and Theology,” one of the most popular classes I teach and probably the course I’ve most enjoyed teaching. The reasons for this may be as straightforward as they are worthy of lament. In an era when study of the arts has become a practical afterthought, a “luxury” squeezed out of tight education budgets and shrinking liberal arts curricula, people intuitively yearn for spaces where they can explore together the landscape of the human heart opened up by music and, more generally, the arts. All kinds of people are attracted to the arts, but I have found that young adults especially, seeking something deeper and more worthy of their questions than what they find in highly quantitative and STEM-oriented curricula, are drawn into the horizon of the ineffable where the arts take us. Across some twenty-five years in the classroom, over and over again it has been my experience that young people of diverse religious, racial, and economic backgrounds, when given the opportunity, are eager to plumb the wellsprings of spirit where art commingles with the divine-human drama of faith. From my childhood to the present day, my own spirituality1 or way of being in the world has been profoundly shaped by music, not least its capacity to carry me beyond myself and into communion with the mysterious, transcendent dimension of reality.

  • SOA/AAA/CIA General Session
    * RECORD, Volume 29, No. 3 Orlando Annual Meeting October 26–29, 2003 Session 110GS SOA/AAA/CIA General Session Keynote Speaker: LYNN BREWER Speakers: BARBARA LAUTZENHEISER MIKE LOMBARDI NEIL PARMENTER Summary: Not for sale! Professionalism is "priceless" for many reasons--its value is beyond quantification and its attainment is not through barter. This session will speak to the paramount importance of professionalism and also provide a cautionary tale about its disappearance from corporate life. Current presidents from the AAA, CIA and SOA highlight the central place professionalism and ethical behavior has in actuarial practice. Lynn Brewer, author and former Enron executive responsible for risk management in gas and power, will detail what happens when ethical behavior gets overrun by naked avarice. "House of Cards: Confessions of an Enron Executive," is her gripping account of nearly three years spent with the company that has come to symbolize the worst in corporate greed. Ms. Brewer provides a shocking look at the notorious illicit deals and the unscrupulous people who made them. MR. MIKE LOMBARDI: As we look at professionalism today, we hope to stimulate your thinking and perhaps even to stir you with a little controversy. I will speak about two interrelated questions: What does professionalism mean in the CIA, and what does professionalism mean to me? When we consider other professions, such as doctors, lawyers, engineers or accountants, we note that of the people in these professions are uniquely qualified and organized to provide the public some special service. The public often grants these professions a special recognition or even monopoly power.

  • APPEAL to the CHRISTIAN WOMEN of the SOUTH, by A. E. GRIMKÉ. "Then Mordecai Commanded to Answer Esther, Think Not Within
    APPEAL TO THE CHRISTIAN WOMEN OF THE SOUTH, BY A. E. GRIMKÉ. "Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not within thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place: but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this. And Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer: and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to law, and if I perish, I perish." Esther IV. 13-16. RESPECTED FRIENDS, It is because I feel a deep and tender interest in your present and eternal welfare that I am willing thus publicly to address you. Some of you have loved me as a relative, and some have felt bound to me in Christian sympathy, and Gospel fellowship; and even when compelled by a strong sense of duty, to break those outward bonds of union which bound us together as members of the same community, and members of the same religious denomination, you were generous enough to give me credit, for sincerity as a Christian, though you believed I had been most strangely deceived. I thanked you then for your kindness, and I ask you now, for the sake of former confidence and former friendship, to read the following pages in the spirit of calm investigation and fervent prayer. It is because you have known me, that I write thus unto you.

  • Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999
    Paul McCartney from Wings through the 90's McCartney II Columbia FC‐36511 May 21, 1980 About ten years after recording McCartney by himself, Paul got several songs together and recorded them‐‐again alone‐‐on somewhat of a lark. Then Paul embarked on his ill‐fated 1980 tour of Japan (which resulted in his being jailed for drug possession). After returning to the safety of his own home, he was urged to release the album, and he did. The album contrasts well with McCartney, for this second production contains numerous instruments and electronic tricks that were not present on the 1970 release. Side One is particularly interesting. The solo version of "Coming Up" is followed by the fun track, "Temporary Secretary" (released as a single in England). The almost‐lament, "On the Way," is then succeeded by "Waterfalls," Paul's second (US) single from the album. "Bogey Music," from Side Two, is also a standout. John Lennon heard a song from McCartney II and thought that Paul sounded sad. When the album was released in the US, a bonus one‐sided single ‐‐ the hit version of "Coming Up"‐‐was included with the LP. This hit was enough to propel the album to the #3 position on the charts, during a time when disco was now on the wane. "Waterfalls" Columbia 1‐11335 Jul. 22, 1980 The lovely ballad about protectiveness was one of the standouts from McCartney II. After "Coming Up," it received the most airplay and the most positive response from Paul's friends. As a single, though, the song fared poorly, only reaching #83...one of Paul's worst showings to date.

    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee February 26, 2013 [LB71 LB218 LB397 LB505] The Committee on Banking, Commerce and Insurance met at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, in Room 1507 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on LB71, LB397, LB218, and LB505. Senators present: Mike Gloor, Chairperson; Mark Christensen, Vice Chairperson; Kathy Campbell; Tom Carlson; Sue Crawford; Sara Howard; Pete Pirsch; and Paul Schumacher. Senators absent: None. SENATOR GLOOR: Good afternoon and welcome to the Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee hearing. My name is Mike Gloor, I'm the senator from the 35th District which is Grand Island. The committee will take up the bills in the order posted outside the door and for some of you that may be, if you haven't noticed, a reversal in LB397 and LB218. To better facilitate today's hearing, we have rules and procedures that we follow. They are posted up there on the board, but I will run through them quickly for everybody. The first is, I know you think you turned off your cell phone, but please check to make sure you did or put it on a silent buzz, if you would. The order of testimony for us is the introducer, then proponents, then opponents, then those who would like to speak in a neutral capacity, and finally, we'll allow the introducing senator to close if they would like to do so on their bill. We ask all testifiers to sign in.
