At the UC Mini Maker Faire, the focus is on the process of making -- not just the finished product.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:16px;margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Emerging from MAKE Magazine, Make: Online, and CRAFT, Maker Faires have rapidly made a significant impact on American culture today. These regional events feature things people create themselves, from James Bond-worthy electronic gizmos to robotics and rockets to crafts. There has been extensive national coverage of the “maker movement” in publications such as the New York Times, CNN, and ABC News.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:16px;margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">We hope to inspire, inform, educate, and entertain our local community of highly imaginative people who are transforming technology and crafting with unconventional and even renegade techniques and materials.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:10px">A stunning synthesis of virtuosity and energy, The Outside Track's marriage of Canadian, Scottish and Irish music and song has been rapturously received around the world. Hailing from Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton and Vancouver, its five members are united by a love of traditional music and a commitment to creating new music on its foundation. Using fiddle, accordion, harp, guitar, flute, step-dance and vocals these five virtuosos blend boundless energy with unmistakable joie de vivre.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:10px">Each player within The Outside Track is a master of their chosen instrument with the band stacking up an impressive amount of international awards. This amount of talent alone would be enough to recommend the band but in this case the end result is so much greater than the sum of the parts.</p>

</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>FINALLY, I'd like to invite you all to come to a screening of the new documentary <i>The Invisible War</i> hosted by Central Illinois Iraq Veterans Against the War, Central Illinois Civillian-Soldier Alliance, and the Women's Resource Center.</div>
<div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_13674a4a0f56456a" alt="Inline image 1"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Today, a female soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. Sexual assault within the ranks is so frequent that one in three female service members are raped while in the military. These crimes are routinely covered up by the chain of command, with higher-ranking officers granted virtual impunity for assaulting junior service members.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As part of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Central Illinois Iraq Veterans Against the War and Civillian-Soldier Alliance, in conjunction with the University of Illinois Women's Resource Center will be screening The Invisible War, a documentary on the that examines the epidemic levels of sexual assault in the military which debuted this January at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Focusing on the powerfully emotional stories of multiple rape victims, The Invisible War is a moving indictment of the systemic cover-up of military sex crimes, chronicling the women’s struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. It also features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress that reveal the perfect storm of conditions that exist for rape in the military, its long-hidden history, and what can be done to bring about much-needed change.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The screening will be followed by a discussion of what we can do to end sexual assault in the military and in our communities. The event is free and open to the public.</div><div><br></div><div><div>The event is co-sponsored by: College of Law, University of Illinois Veteran's Affairs, Counseling Center, American Association of University Women—Champaign Chapter, Channing-Murray Foundation, Sexual Health Peers (SHP), National Organization for Women (UIUC), Gender and Women's Studies, Department of Psychology, Rape Advocacy Counseling and Education Services (RACES), and Men Against Sexual Violence.</div>

</div><div><div><br></div></div><div><div>CAPT.

</div><div><div><br></div></div><div><div>ALLISON GILL: You could lose your rate, you could lose rank, you could lose your school, if you file a false report. So do you want to file a report?</div></div><div><div><br></div>

You think this is a game?"</div>
