Regular Council Business Council member introductions and updates · Glenn Skuta – He went to the first three of Governor’s 25% by 2025 Town Hall meetings in Rochester, Mankato, and Marshall. There was a lot of participation and people were having lots of conversations and submitting comments and ideas to the pigeonhole app. In addition, he worked at the “Water Bar” at the state fair. Serving water from different Minnesota cities, and talking to people about water. Asking if they know where their drinking water comes from and talking about the differences with groundwater and surface water, etc. It gets people thinking about their drinking water. It was the most fun he has ever had at the state fair. · Todd Renville – In the interest of full disclosure, his employer provide technical support to US steel on the US Steel/Spirit Lake superfund site, which may be part of the discussion. · Tannie Eshenaur – Talking about “The Water Bar” at the state fair, there is going to be a taste test, where communities across the state will submit samples of their water for people to vote on taste. Someone will win, but at the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), we just want everyone to have safe drinking water. · Doug Thomas – Almost a year ago, there was talk about the FY 18-19 budget, and the Council had expressed an interest in the Board of Water and Soils Resources (BWSR) ability to leverage federal funds. BWSR has started that process with a preproposal to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). They have been selected to submit a final proposal for a regional conservation partnership program. If successful, it would leverage about 5 million dollars of federal cost share funding, which they could match up with the Clean Water Fund (CWF), to provide out to local governments to implement conservation projects for landowners. They hope it will be accepted and successful. · Representative Paul Torkelson - The Great Lakes Commission will be in Duluth next month, which he will be attending. · John Barten – The Minnesota Wild (hockey team) were asking people to bring water from their lakes to use in creating their ice rink. If the lake is infested with an invasive species, people should not be doing that! There was an Aquatic Invasive Species Advisory Committee meeting last week talking about this. · Victoria Reinhardt – She was reappointed Vice Chair of the Energy, Environment and Land Use Committee of the National Association of Counties. She was also appointed to the short term Public Lands Management Committee, dealing with many different environmental and other issues regarding public lands. · Pat Shea – The Drinking Water Taste Test is August 28th. WCCO radio will do coverage about 4:00 – 4:30 pm. The City of St. Cloud was the winner last year, so that was fun. The St. Cloud drinking water will be at “The Water Bar” on Tuesday (8/29/17). · Approve agenda and past meeting summary, seconded, and approved. Council staff update · Deepa deAlwis – New Clean Water Council Coordinator. She was born and raised in Sri Lanka. She first came to Duluth in 1985 as an exchange student in Grand Rapids, MN. She came back to the United States, attended College at St. Catherine, and graduated with a degree in chemistry. Then, she received her master’s in soil science from the University of Minnesota. She started working at the MDA, working in Southeast Minnesota. She moved back to St. Paul, worked for ten years with the MDA. She has been at the MPCA for nine years. She started at the superfund program, worked as the project manager for the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. She was the data quality coordinator for the St. Louis River Area of Concern (SLRAOC) before starting the CWC job. She is the mother of two children, a boy, and a girl. As typical with South Asians, her mother lives with her. She is excited to be here and work as the new coordinator! · Discussed housekeeping items at the Duluth MPCA. Legislative Water Commission update (Representative Paul Torkelson) · They have been meeting monthly between Legislative sessions. They are in the process of taking a deep dive into wastewater management. The issue is controversial on standards in cities across the state; the cities will be having challenges meeting the new standards. They will be up in Duluth, for the Great Lakes Commission meeting next month. At the end of the year, they plan to have some roundtable meeting discussions, where they will have interested parties, to dig deep into the issues to see if there are any legislative actions, they can take to help. · Question: Are you anticipating that you would create some sort of package going forward to the next session with potential changes or further down the line? Answer: We do not really have an agenda and we do not really have any authority as such, but the idea of the Commission is to have a few individuals better informed about water issues within the Legislature. For an example, the members of the Commission will be better informed about the wastewater issues, and perhaps it will result in some Legislative initiatives. Lake Superior as a Climate-Stressed Ecosystem – Dr. Robert Sterner, Large Lakes Observatory (LLO) and University of Minnesota-Duluth (WebEx 00:17:00) Presentation about Lake Superior highlighting ecosystem changes over time as water temperatures rise. · LLO has a unique mission: The scientific study of the large lakes of earth. The LLO works on large lakes worldwide, performing fundamental research and engaging the public. The public can come on board their boat about once a month to talk about their research called “Science on Deck”, at their Blue Heron boat anchored in Canal Park, Duluth. · The LLO its own research vessels; use expensive instruments to gather data for the Great Lakes, similar to what oceanographers do in the oceans. · Current Lake Superior Projects: o Blue Heron operations (Funded by National Science Foundation)NSF)), o Buoy and Observatory Support (Great Lakes Observing System grant), o Evaluating Lake Superior’s Health in a Changing World (Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR)), o Characterization of Global Internal Tides (NSF), o Funding a Foundational Interdisciplinary Graduate Course (NSF), o Collaborative Research: Testing Laurentide Ice Sheet (NSF), and Estimating Biogeochemical Impact of Invasive Mussels (NSF). · The state of Minnesota, through LCCMR, invested the first quarter million dollars in purchasing the Blue Heron. · For each state dollar invested, there has been 10 or 20 times more non-State funds. · Two lakes have changed in Dr. Sterner’s life: Lake Vostok and the Aral Sea o Lake Vostok in Antarctica has been added (officially 2015), it is about the fourth largest lake by volume. o Aral Sea (historic) was the fourth largest lake on earth (1989). By 2014, it was greatly reduced in size due to water removal to irrigate cotton, and other crops and is no longer considered one of largest lakes on earth.

Dayholos ©Copyright 2007 William Dayholos II Acknowledgments The value of ones existences can always be measured by the support they receive from others. Be it family or not it is still unselfish support for another human being who is asking for help. Thank you Rose Dayholos, Marjory Marciski, Irene Sulik, Grace Single, Janice Abstreiter, and Robert Regnier for your editing help. This book is dedicated to my partner in life. To me a partner is one whom you can share your ideas with, one who can be trusted not to patronize these ideas, one who can differentiate their own truth from yours. A person who has an equal spiritual level and understanding, and encourages only through support of your ideas and not to through expectation. A true partner is one who balances out any weaknesses you have in the same fashion as you do for them. One’s weakness is the other’s strength, together you create a whole, a relationship that is stronger than the individuals themselves. In true fashion my partner has both helped and supported this book’s creation. Without this partner’s help it might have run the risk of being too much “me”! This was never the reason for the book.

  • Integrating Differentiated Instruction & Understanding by Design
    Integrating Differentiated Instruction & Understanding by Design: Connecting Content and Kids by Carol Ann Tomlinson and Jay McTighe Chapter 1. UbD and DI: An Essential Partnership What is the logic for joining the two models? What are the big ideas of the models, and how do they look in action? Understanding by Design and Differentiated Instruction are currently the subject of many educational conversations, both in the United States and abroad. Certainly part of the reason for the high level of interest in the two approaches to curriculum and teaching is their logical and practical appeal. Beset by lists of content standards and accompanying “high-stakes” accountability tests, many educators sense that both teaching and learning have been redirected in ways that are potentially impoverishing for those who teach and those who learn. Educators need a model that acknowledges the centrality of standards but that also demonstrates how meaning and understanding can both emanate from and frame content standards so that young people develop powers of mind as well as accumulate an information base. For many educators, Understanding by Design addresses that need. Simultaneously, teachers find it increasingly difficult to ignore the diversity of learners who populate their classrooms. Culture, race, language, economics, gender, experience, motivation to achieve, disability, advanced ability, personal interests, learning preferences, and presence or absence of an adult support system are just some of the factors that students bring to school with them in almost stunning variety. Few teachers find their work effective or satisfying when they simply “serve up” a curriculum—even an elegant one—to their students with no regard for their varied learning needs.

  • View the Redux Book Here
    1 Photo: Alex Hurst REDUX This Redux box set is on the 30 Hertz Records label, which I started in 1997. Many of the tracks on this box set originated on 30 Hertz. I did have a label in the early eighties called Lago, on which I released some of my first solo records. These were re-released on 30 Hertz Records in the early noughties. 30 Hertz Records was formed in order to give me a refuge away from the vagaries of corporate record companies. It was one of the wisest things I have ever done. It meant that, within reason, I could commission myself to make whatever sort of record took my fancy. For a prolific artist such as myself, it was a perfect situation. No major record company would have allowed me to have released as many albums as I have. At the time I formed the label, it was still a very rigid business; you released one album every few years and ‘toured it’ in the hope that it became a blockbuster. On the other hand, my attitude was more similar to most painters or other visual artists. I always have one or two records on the go in the same way they always have one or two paintings in progress. My feeling has always been to let the music come, document it by releasing it then let the world catch up in its own time. Hopefully, my new partnership with Cherry Red means that Redux signifies a new beginning as well as documenting the past.

  • Album Liner Notes
    Writing and Music: Album Liner Notes Dean L. Biron, independent scholar ‘Covering’ music The 2005 edition of Hoffman and Ferstler’s Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound includes the following 60-word entry on the record sleeve: The jacket or envelope used for protecting, storing or marketing a disc recording; also known as a slipcase or a record cover. Usually the material is paper or cardboard. Often there is a second envelope inside the sleeve, made of paper or mylar, intended to give the surface additional protection. Sleeves may do more harm than good to their records, however.’ (2005: 1001) The reader is then directed to a 6 page entry titled ‘Preservation of Sound Recordings,’ where information is provided on the proper storing and maintenance of phonographic records, magnetic tape and compact discs. Apart from an allowance for marketing practices, here the album sleeve or liner is considered little more than a carriage device—one of dubious function—for the primary product contained within. Yet without needing to deny that the fundamental purpose of an LP record or compact disc is to store music, it is nevertheless true that the accompanying sleeve or (in the case of the CD) booklet has, over the course of the past few decades, developed something of an aura of its own. Originally, record sleeves were blank with a doughnut-like hole in the middle through which the central label of the vinyl could be read. This typically contained crucial information for the purchaser, namely the title of the disc and details of the recording artist and publisher.

  • Bill Laswell
    Jazz Collection: Bill Laswell Samstag, 22. August 2015, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr Nichts ist wahr, alles ist erlaubt: der Bassist Bill Laswell Offenheit, das ist der zweite Vorname von Bill Laswell. Kaum ein anderer Musiker hat so viel verschiedene Musik gespielt, produziert und publiziert wie er. «Manchmal entwickelt sich ein Fehler in den besten Teil, da muss man offen bleiben» sagte Bill Laswell kürzlich in einem Interview. Und Offenheit, das ist in der Tat das Credo von Bill Laswell. Auch unter den Bassisten, die ja oft in vielen verschiedenen Projekten mitmischen, gibt es nicht viele, die so breit arbeiten wie Laswell. Von experimenteller und elektronischer Musik über Rock (Iggy Pop!) bis Jazz kennt Bill Laswell keine Berührungsängste – als Musiker nicht, nicht als Label-Chef und auch nicht als Produzent. Ob einer mit so breiten Interessen dennoch so etwas wie einen Personalstil entwickeln kann, diskutiert der Bassist Wolfgang Zwieauer in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.

  • 21 Outland Empire: Prolegomena to Speculative Absolutism1
    21 Outland Empire: Prolegomena to Speculative Absolutism1 Gabriel Catren translated by Taylor Adkins In what follows we shall outline a possible definition of speculative philosophy by re- activating, distorting and entangling four regulative concepts of German idealism, namely the absolute, the (philosophical) system, phenomenology (of ‘spirit’) and (absolute) knowledge. According to the speculative knot that we shall propose, knowledge will be locally inscribed in the philosophical system, the latter being a free falling organon for forcing the phenomenological mediation of the immanent and concrete self-experi- ence of the absolute. Far from simply rejecting the Kantian legacy and its contemporary avatars, the activation of such a post-critical conception of philosophy requires us to overcome the reactive pre-modern components of critical philosophy and to direct the resulting weapon of criticism towards a truly transcendental dehumanization of experience. In- deed, from a historical point of view, the critical motif inaugurated by Kant has been split by a crucial ambiguity. On the one hand, the Kantian project of exponentiating the Copernican revolution to an infinite series of transcendental powers constitutes an unavoidable regulative idea for the infinite tasks of (absolute) knowledge. The le- gitimate project of constructing an unconditional and universal rational knowledge of the real will remain intrinsically limited by a transcendental anthropocentrism if the subject of science does not perform a reflexive analysis on the different ‘transcenden- tal’ conditions of research. However, instead of directing this necessary reflection on the transcendental localization of the subject of science towards a truly transcendental Copernican revolution, the critical motif has mainly triggered a ‘Ptolemaic counter- revolution’ (Meillassoux) that seeks to preserve the pre-modern landscape and stitch up the cosmological narcissistic wound.
