Look closely and you will see a garden of flowers, insects, and reptiles. Can you spot the white bunny? Can you feel the warmth of the sunshine? This work of art was heated to fuse the pieces into one solid sheet of glass. The sheet was slowly cooled, placed into a mold, and heated a second time to slump it so the piece has depth and shape.

Race organizers were seeking ways to reinvigorate interest in what they see as a floundering – if not sinking – sport. A self-administered survey was distributed at the race with those completing it having a chance to win a souvenir shirt from the races.

  • The Second Running of the Gold Cup Fast Boat Section Was Slightly Smaller in Size
    The second running of the Gold Cup fast boat section was slightly smaller in size. Sponson damage from the madhouse start caused Muncey to withdraw the Atlas, so the first turn was not nearly as crowded, as the second section got under way. Chenowith put Miss Budweiser out front coming out of the first turn and they were followed by the Oberto, Squire Shop, and the Pay n’ Pak. The Thousand Trails went out early with a broken crankshaft. On Lap 2, Hanauer pushed the Squire ahead of a faltering Oberto and the Pak did the same on Lap 3. From there it was pretty much a boat parade as they continued to put distance between one another. The Bud averaged 113.782 for the win, nearly two miles per hour faster than the Squire. It was then all Miss Budweiser, wire-to-wire, as Chenowith produced a record setting performance in a hotly contested Gold Cup championship final. The beer boat’s five-lap average was both a Gold Cup and Lake Washington course record of 123.814 mph, as was the Bud’s Lap 3 circuit of the course at a blistering 127.728. While Hanauer and the Squire did their best to contend, the Pak was the closest pursuer for nearly the entire final. Staying on the Pak’s heels for three laps, Hanauer made his move at start of Lap 4 on the front straight and then gained significant ground on the Pak in the south turn. Cornering hard, he put the Squire into Lane 1 to make a final run on Walters as the two boats sailed through the floating bridge turn.

  • Human and Physical Geography of Japan Study Tour 2012 Reports
    Five College Center for East Asian Studies National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) 2012 Japan Study Tour The Human and Physical Geography of Japan Reports from the Field United States Department of Education Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad with additional funding from the Freeman Foundation Five College Center for East Asian Studies 69 Paradise Road, Florence Gilman Pavilion Northampton, MA 01063 The Human and Physical Geography of Japan Reports from the Field In the summer of 2012, twelve educators from across the United States embarked on a four-week journey to Japan with the goal of enriching their classroom curriculum content by learning first-hand about the country. Prior to applying for the study tour, each participant completed a 30-hour National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) seminar. Once selected, they all completed an additional 20 hours of pre-departure orientation, including FCCEAS webinars (funded by the US-Japan Foundation; archived webinars are available at www.smith.edu/fcceas), readings, and language podcasts. Under the overarching theme of “Human and Physical Geography of Japan,” the participants’ experience began in Tokyo, then continued in Sapporo, Yokohama, Kamakura, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, Miyajima, and finally ended in Naha. Along the way they heard from experts on Ainu culture and burakumin, visited the Tokyo National Museum of History, heard the moving testimony of an A-bomb survivor, toured the restored seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and dined on regional delicacies. Each study tour participant was asked to prepare a report on an assigned geography-related topic to be delivered to the group in country and then revised upon their return to the U.S.
