Ute Mountain Ute Beadwork by Rebecca Hammond
On a recent trip to New Mexico and Colorado, you were glad to spend time with your friend, Becky, of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. A skilled archaeologist who studies the Ancestral Puebloans, she is also a talented artist who employs the traditional beading techniques that she learned as a child from her grandmother. Much of her work incorporates the geometric patterns found on Ancestral Puebloan pottery. The results are beautiful.

On Supporting Japan
About two weeks ago, you had the very good fortune of meeting up with your friend, Liz, for a bubble tea in Honolulu. Liz is an architect who lives in Kyoto, Japan, and she is currently working toward a doctorate in disaster recovery. Needless to say, after having visited New Orleans and Sichuan Province, her focus (along with that of the rest of the world) has shifted to Japan's own recovery. She was kind enough to pass along the names of several charitable, non-profit organizations that immediately and effectively help those in need. Check them out.
Second Harvest, a Tokyo-based food bank, may be one of the best.Peace Winds.
Architecture for Humanity, for the focus of long-term recovery.
Peace Boat.
Global Giving. The money that they raise internationally is redirected to a number of organizations working locally.
