S ince its humble beginnings in 2006, the Mission Creek Festival in Iowa City has grown into a weeklong artistic experi-
ence showcasing music, literature and food. “Step by step we let it grow organically,” said
festival co-founder and producer Andre Perry.This year’s festival will be March 27 to April 1
in downtown venues within walking distance of each other, such as The Englert Theatre, Blue Moose Tap House, Gabe’s, Deadwood and The Mill.
“Downtown Iowa City is very much a walk-ing town where people get around on foot and bikes,” Perry said.
Perry brought the festival’s concept to Iowa City from San Francisco, where he was an assis-tant producer of the Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival in the Bay Area. When he moved to Iowa City in 2005, he quickly realized a simi-lar festival featuring acts outside the main-stream would mesh with the college town’s thriving art scene.
“There’s a lot of creativity here in the Cor-ridor in general,” Perry said. “There are musi-cians, artists and writers, as well as those who
appreciate going to the show. That core was here.”
The festival is an endeavor of The James Gang, a nonprofit arts incubator based in Iowa City. A team of producers — including Perry and Joe Tiefenthaler, who heads up the festival’s literary segment — selects the performers and writers.
“All of us are deeply involved in music, lit-erature and arts,” said Perry, executive director of The Englert. “We make sure we are always seeing new acts. “
A primary prerequisite for inclusion is cut-ting-edge material that appeals to a wide audi-ence.
“We try to keep it quite eclectic, experimen-tal avant-garde,” Perry said. “We’re not inter-ested in catering to one demographic. Our goal is to keep it diverse.”
While some of these acts perform at much larger festivals and venues, Perry believes downtown Iowa City’s tight proximity attracts them to Mission Creek.
“There’s something about Iowa City that is more intimate,” Perry said.
In its third year of ramped-up program-ming, the literary leg of the festival is also ex-panding.
Along with readings, writers will engage with the community by leading workshops.
“You can come meet the artists, not just lis-ten to them,” Tiefenthaler said.
In addition to Prairie Lights Bookstore, read-ings take place in bars and restaurants. The first Food Crawl will take place alongside the Lit Crawl on March 31. The crawls are free, and organizers hope that will attract people to the ticketed music performances later in the eve-ning.
“We want people to come be a part of the community and see something you normally wouldn’t get to see,” Tiefenthaler said.

Two paintings by the American landscape artist Thomas Moran, which have been in a private collection and out of public view for more than 70 years, are now on exhibit in the Dubuque Museum of Art’s Randall Lengeling Gallery. The paintings are “Grand Canyon of Arizona at Sunset” and “The Venetian Lagoon.”
Moran, who lived from 1�37-1926, was one of America’s greatest landscape paint-ers as well as one of the most prolific illustrators of the 19th century. He is known as the father of the national park system because his images of Yellowstone helped establish it as the first national park in 1�72. Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon became synonymous with Moran, and he even incorporated his nickname, Thomas “Yellowstone” Moran, into his signature.

S tacks of romance novels teeter against a wall in Alex Dooley’s basement stu-dio. She doesn’t read them, necessarily.
But she has found inspiration beneath the heav-ing bosoms, torn bodices, raven tresses, rippling muscles and pulsating lust, sensuality and sizzle on their lurid covers.
“At first, I found them silly and melodramat-ic and buying them was a bit embarrassing. As artists, we’re kind of dismissive of the artwork as part of popular culture. That’s what makes them interesting to me, and I began taking note as an artist,” said the University of Northern Iowa adjunct art instructor.
The often-titillating, overly indulgent book cover art provided the inspiration for Dooley’s series of large watercolor paintings. She has delved into the undercurrent of emotions lurk-ing beneath the surface, as well as the personal interactions and general messiness of real rela-tionships.
Dooley’s collection of “Bedtime Stories,” a sly, contemporary narrative, also includes a pen-and-ink series. Her work frequently has been exhibited in UNI faculty shows at the UNI Gallery, as well as in Boston and throughout Iowa and the Midwest.
“Alex is exploring a most basic human emo-tion: the enchantment of passion and romance. I don’t think there are many among us who have not been overcome by the emotional ter-
rain of the heart, commonly explored in cin-ema, literature and popular music,” explained curator Scott Hudson.
“I can’t think of another visual artist who has probed this narrative in such a daring and clear-eyed manner. The combined elements of elegant and expressive drawing, and the charged narrative of passion and romance make this a powerful exhibit.”
Watercolor lends lushness to Dooley’s pro-vocative and evocative imagery, and it is a new medium for the artist who loves drawing and oil painting. “I always thought there would be no substance to it, that it would be too light and airy but it works, and in a larger format I like seeing how much I can keep pushing the paint,” she said.
Her smaller works, drawn with marker and ink and “floating” on black velvet in black frames, are darkly dramatic but still seem to glow.
“People love to look at color, but there’s also the tension between two people, symbolic of what they feel for each other and because of each other. I liked the challenge of looking at both sides of romance.”

a comprehensive display of inspiration, technology and science, Dinosaurs Unearthed brings the pages of history to life in a memorable dinosaur display. Most have read about dinosaurs in picture books, but few have experienced what it’s like to stand near the crushing 10-foot leg of a moving, roaring tyrannosaurus rex, towering at 23 feet tall, or witnessed the thrashing tail of a feathered velociraptor.
in addition to 14 animatronic dinosaurs, two life-size skeletons from the Jurassic Period are displayed in the exhibition. twenty-two fossils rep-
resenting species from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods are also included. Younger visitors will have an opportunity to dig in the “sand” to make their own discoveries and create their own fossil stories.

I was trying to think of a way to describe Hy-perdimension Neptunia mk2, and I was at a loss for words.
So here’s what the ESRB, the games rat-ing board, had to say: “Some female characters are dressed in low-cut outfits that expose large amounts of cleavage or buttocks.”
I’m surprised the write-up doesn’t contain the word “jiggle.” It probably should.
That’s not a judgment, just a fact. The game trades in scantily clad women saying
suggestive things, so if that’s not your cup of tea, that’s probably enough to strike it from the list of games you’d like to buy.
If not, the plot is a nice bit of allegory. Set in the world of Gamindustri, the four Console Patron Units, or CPUs, of the main gaming factions have been vanquished by the Arfoire pirates.
Arfoire has taken over the majority of shares, or belief, in each sector of the world, putting
Planeptune, Lowee, Lastation and Leanbox in danger of vanishing all together.
In real-world terms, that means that rom pirates have reduced the profits of game
makers to nothing, and they’ll be forced to stop putting out new titles because they can’t
make any money. Piracy is bad, kids!The three “L” factions are, of course, thinly
veiled references to Nintendo, Sony and Micro-soft. The history of Gamindustri covers several
eras that correspond to each generation of video game consoles.
This parallel world is clever — CPUs activate Hard Drive Divinity, or HDD, to power up, for instance.
Unfortunately, the carefully constructed fa-cade and backstory of Gamindustri is the best part of the game.
The play style is very similar to NIS America’s Atelier series; the game consists of missions to kill enemies, gather items and forge new ones. The combat is more involved when compared with Atelier, while item creation is less so.
Completing missions redistributes shares from one faction to another; the more shares a group
has, the more powerful they are.Running around collecting items and killing
enemies is fun for a while, but the missions can get stale.
The action follows Nepgear, a CPU candidate, as she tries to rescue her sister and the other cap-tive CPUs.
As more characters are a d d e d to the p a r t y, t h e y can be paired up in support re-lationships. A “Lily Me-ter” rates the closeness between the characters.
Hyperdimension is unapolo-getically Eastern in nature, but I would gladly trade some of the salaciousness for a little less snooze factor.

THE CLARKE UNIVERSITY ARTS AT CLARKE SERIES AND THE CLARKE STUDENT ASSOCIATION PRESENT
Allen College has begun taking steps to add five new academic pro-grams to its undergraduate and graduate offerings. Planning efforts are underway to add programs for a master’s degree in occupational thera-py; a master’s degree in community/public health nursing; a bachelor’s degree completion program for dental hygienists; a bachelor’s degree in public health; and a doctor of education in health professions education.
“Each program has been suggested to fulfill an unmet need in the state,” said Dr. Nancy Kramer, vice chancellor of academic affairs. “The overall purpose of adding the new programs is to improve health care services to the citizens of the state. Each program addresses unique needs and populations.”
While the clinical practice programs will help health care providers better meet community needs, the Ed. D program will help address the state and national shortage of doctorally prepared nursing and health sci-ence educators, Kramer said.
The new program development process begins with approval by the Al-len College Board of Trustees to pursue planning and continues through work with consultants, advisory committees, curriculum development, needed approvals and appropriate accreditation, Kramer said. The MSN program is slated to start in fall 2013, while the remaining programs will start no later than fall 2014 if they receive final approval.
Part of the process also involves seeking input from professionals in these specialty areas to determine support and interest in the programs. For the MOT program, local and statewide practicing therapists, includ-ing representatives from the Iowa Occupational Therapy Association, are serving on an advisory committee. A similar committee for the BS-DH program includes dental hygienists working in the public sector, associ-ate-degree program teachers and a dentist. The college has also employed an expert consultant to help with the MOT program.
Kramer is directing program development along with Dr. Peggy Fortsch, dean of the School of Health Science, which will house four of the five new programs.
“The new programs will expand the arena of health care professional programs we offer, as well as potentially expanding our reach into bor-dering states with several of these programs,” Kramer said. “They will also expand our enrollment numbers.”
Allen College is located in Waterloo, and is an affiliate of Iowa Health System, the state’s largest health care system. Offering nursing education since 1926, Allen College became a degree-granting institution in 1989. The college offers bachelor of science in nursing; master of science in nursing; doctor of nursing practice; associate of science in radiography; and bachelor of health sciences programs.

Have you considered earning your college degree in two years instead of four? Many careers in Northeast Iowa require additional education af-ter high school, but not necessarily a four-year degree. With this goal in mind, Northeast Iowa Community College is the perfect place to con-tinue with college plans. An affordable two-year degree from NICC pre-pares students with both sought-after job skills and transferable credits to four-year colleges and universities.
NICC offers more than 75 academic programs in health care, com-puter science and technology, agriculture, business and industrial tech-nology, in addition to associate in arts and associate in science transfer degrees that secure graduates’ plans to transfer to their four-year college destination.
The college also offers more than 20 programs completely online, al-lowing students to earn their transfer AA and AS degrees without step-ping foot on campus.
Two-year degrees from NICC not only allow graduates to transfer, they also provide opportunities to train for a career off the beaten path. Right now, careers in computer technology, computer networking and administration and allied health fields, such as dental assisting and health information technology, are on the state’s list of hot jobs. A four-year degree has great value, but two years at NICC may be a faster return on your educational investment.
The NICC Student Life, Diversity and Leadership office offers an an-nual spring break trip for students to expand their knowledge and learn-ing through service.
Over the past three years, NICC students have participated in week-long service learning programs in Chicago, Denver and San Francisco to put education and personal talents into action.
Because NICC stays attuned to the skills area employers are looking for the college has rolled out two new programs. The Chemical Techni-cian and Large Animal Veterinary Technician programs at the Calmar campus address changing employment trends in Northeast Iowa.
The Chemical Technician program trains students for work in an emerging employment sector where science and agriculture knowledge is needed. The Large Animal Veterinary Technician program prepares students for work in all aspects of large animal veterinary medicine.
Students in both programs have the option to transfer their credits to a four-year college or enter the workforce directly upon graduation.

What makes Upper Iowa University different? Just to name one, it’s the way students take classes. Instead of traditional semesters, UIU offers six eight-week terms during the academic year — four on campus and two additional terms at UIU centers and online.
Most students take just two courses at a time. That means they have more time to master each subject. It also means they have more time to get involved in campus activities, student life and athletics. And most UIU students can still graduate in the same time frame as college students who follow the traditional format.
UIU emphasizes academic quality with small class sizes (14:1 student/faculty ratio), personal attention and highly trained faculty members, most of whom have earned the highest degree possible in their field. UIU offers more than 40 majors. The only NCAA Division II athletic program in Iowa, UIU has 12 varsity athletic teams that compete in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC).
The UIU campus is located in Fayette, in Northeast Iowa, near the rec-reational richness of the Volga River Valley. Fayette students can choose from several living options. Freshmen and sophomores can live in a tra-ditional residential hall or a suite-style residence hall, completed in 2010. Upper classmen may choose to live off campus. In addition to the new residence hall, the Fayette campus features a new student center with ex-panded dining facilities.
The campus also boasts a state-of-the art “green” Liberal Arts Building. Planning is underway for additional facilities as part of a $25 million capital campaign, including more suite-style residence halls, renovations to the athletic facilities and a new science center. Construction is underway on renovations to the football complex.
UIU has competitive tuition and an aggressive approach to financial aid. Nearly every undergraduate student on campus who is eligible, as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), re-ceives financial assistance. UIU offers a variety of endowed, institutional and athletic scholarships and works to increase the amount of scholar-ship money available. For example, Team Peacock has raised more than $1 million for student scholarships since 2006. This team of alumni, students, staff and faculty donate money themselves and raise funds by participat-ing in RAGBRAI each summer. The result of the University’s emphasis on increasing affordability is that UIU students, on average, graduate with less debt from the Fayette campus than other students in Iowa.
UIU isn’t just for traditional students. UIU also offers affordable non-traditional students several options for attending college — in commu-nity-based education centers, online or through independent study pro-grams. In all, UIU provides accredited undergraduate and graduate degree programs to more than 6,800 students university-wide. UIU has 17 educa-tion centers — including centers in Des Moines, Waterloo, Cedar Rap-ids and the Quad Cities — as well as international centers. Ranked a top “military-friendly” college, UIU is committed to serving the total military family with tuition discounts, education centers on military bases and pro-grams that serve active military wherever they are deployed. Founded in 1857, UIU remains a private, nonprofit university.

Ruthie Foster wrote only three of the 13 songs on her new album — two of them being gospel numbers on which she is backed by the Blind Boys of Alabama. But “Let It Burn’s” canny selection of covers highlights Foster’s strengths as a powerful and often soul-stirring vocalist and a striking interpreter. She duets with soul veteran William Bell on his “You Don’t Miss Your Wa-ter,” offers a supremely moving take on The Band’s “It
Makes No Difference” and joins again with the Blind Boys for David Crosby’s “Long Time Gone.” But she also goes contemporary with Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” and the Black Keys’ “Everlasting Light.” In some cases, Foster turns the songs inside out, refreshing fa-miliar material with new arrangements while remain-ing true to it and maintaining her cohesive vision.

After genre experiments that found Mouse on Mars dabbling in future-funk (“Glam”), electro-pop (“Radi-cal Connector”) and noise-techno (“Varcharz”), “Para-strophics” is more of a giddy pastiche, one that finds the duo rummaging through the diverse fields of electronic music, past and present, while creating melodies that stay strong and certain. There are dense, tense moments, as in the stormy weather-house music of “Polaroyced” and
the drone of “Syncropticians.” “Parastrophics,” however, leans more toward blips, beeps and Kraftwerk-ian pulses to make its point through the Polynesian lilt of “Baku Hipster” and the joyfully jumpy “They Know Your Name.” For Toma and St. Werner, electronic music is far from cold and calculated. Their sound is messily fleshy and crowded, fuzzy rather than fussy.

Andrew Bird writes thoughtful songs that are as prone to flights of fancy as they are to academic diction. He is a casual and sensitive singer, an even better whistler and an even better-than-that violinist. And on “Break It Yourself,” his first album of new songs since 2009’s “Noble Beast,” all of those talents come together in a near-perfect balance. It’s a mostly subdued album with songs that flow gradu-
ally and often end up in very different places from where they started. “Desperation Breeds” begins with a murmur-ing pulse as Bird considers “accidental pollination in this era without bees,” and the song builds to an arabesque of “peculiar incantations.” It’s gorgeous, as is the rest of this impressive album.

On Sleigh Bells’ delectable 2010 debut “Treats,” the car-crash pileup of Derek E. Miller’s overdriven guitars and gargantuan drum-machine beats laid a violently ex-plosive foundation for charismatic front woman Alexis Krauss to coo over sweetly. It worked so well, in part, because there were discernible melodies beneath the maelstrom of noise. For the most part, that’s still true on “Reign of Terror,” though Miller’s production strategy
of intensely compressing the sound before turning it all the way up to 11 can create barriers to entry quite dif-ficult to overcome, as on the well-titled “You Lost Me.” And while the whole of “Reign of Terror” gleefully blasts away with a wall of noise, the concise, essentially pop architecture of the arrangements turn initially abrasive tunes into earworms.

His crazy childhood stories and hilarious college experiences make everybody feel right at home. His unique way of looking at everyday situations in a comical sense has led Chris to translate some of the most unbelievable stories into hilarious comedy bits that every-body will love.
Josh BlueWednesday, April 11 @ 8 PMBlue has cerebral palsy and many of his jokes center on living with his dis-ability, how he deals with it and how other people view him. He coined the term “palsy punch” during his final set of the final round of “Last Comic Standing,” when he said that the palsy punch is effective in a fight because “first of all, they don’t know where the punch is coming from and, second of all, neither do I.”
GreG WArrenWednesday, April 18 @ 8 PMGreg captivates audiences with anecdotes about the conflict of meshing two high school identities — varsity wrestler and band geek.

GreG hAhn Wednesday, April 25 @ 8 PMAfter several serious jobs where he refused to be serious, Greg Hahn turned pro as a stand-up comedian and landed a job for a lumberjack show at Six Flags Great America. After moving to New York, he co-starred in the inde-pendent film “Tomorrow Night,” which appeared at the Sundance Film Fes-tival.

In the BleaK MIdwInter | JULia SPEncEr-FLEming in zero-degree wind chills, clare Fergusson, the new priest at St. alban’s, finds a newborn on the steps of the church. Hours later, the young mother’s body is found hidden in the brush. She’s been murdered, and the whodunit begins. clare becomes the case tag-along — nancy Drew in a priest collar. The problem is clare’s vocation doesn’t fit her character. Where is the good reverend’s inner religious struggle as she finds herself increasingly at-tracted to the much older, very married chief? nonetheless, the mystery kept me guessing and finger-pointing page after page.

the long eMergenCy | JamES HoWarD KUnSTLEr The titular crisis in James Howard Kunstler’s book is the arrival of peak oil, or the moment we’ve pumped out half of the world’s crude supply. as demand continues to rise, supply will never catch up, and the world as we know it will end. With no oil, long-range travel becomes impractical, including shipping goods around the world. The United States dissolves as World War iii breaks out. The old Union reunites, and our chances of survival are pretty good with abundant water resources and farmland. But there’s no call to action. There are no suggestions as to what we could do to avert this future. a better book would have aimed for less alarmism and more activism.

the exPats | cHriS PavonE Kate moore leaves her double life as a covert operative in the cia when her husband, Dex-ter, gets a new job in Luxembourg. Though she tries to be a stay-at-home mom, Kate’s old instincts kick in, and she begins to investigate her husband and their new friends. it doesn’t take long for her to discover that Dexter might be responsible for the theft of a huge sum of money. Kate also discovers evidence that their new friends are assassins — and that she and Dexter are their next targets. Kate’s journey as her life falls apart is compelling, and the novel is impossible to put down.

the seCond tIMe we Met | LEiLa coBo on a rainy evening in a small colombian town, 16-year-old rita ortiz gets up from bed to close her bedroom window and meets the eyes of a young man dressed in fatigues. Lucas hardly seems dangerous: He’s a boy dressed in a warrior’s clothes who took refuge among rebels after being abused at home. The brief glance by her window quickly unravels into a clandestine affair and ends abruptly when the guerrillas decide to leave. it’s only after he is gone that rita learns she is pregnant. She is taken to an orphanage, where she gives birth to the child. The novel is a skillfully woven tale of rita and the son who comes to find her more than two decades later.

watergate | THomaS maLLon For Thomas mallon, the past is a half-understood story waiting to be illuminated by inven-tion. His novels often place fictional characters at the margins of actual historical events, in-vesting both with hyper-vivid reality. in “Watergate,” we view events from the perspective of President nixon’s embattled White House. While clarifying the maze of connections among elected officials, political advisers, cronies and assorted power-mad or ideologically driven nixonites, mallon keeps the narrative moving at thriller-novel pace. Like the best historical novelists, mallon uses great public events as superstructure for classic themes of ambition and power, rivalry and envy, love lost and yearned for.

Groundbreaking banjoist/composer/bandleader Béla Fleck has reconvened the original Béla Fleck & The Flecktones, the extraordinary initial line-up of his incredible combo, with pianist/harmonica player Howard Levy back in the fold alongside Fleck, bassist Victor Wooten, and percussionist/ Drumitarist Roy “Futureman” Wooten. While all manners of genres come into play—from classical and jazz to bluegrass and African music to electric blues and Eastern European folk dances—the result is an impossible-to-pigeonhole sound all their own, a meeting of musical minds that remains, as ever, utterly indescribable. Simply put, it is The Flecktones, the music made only when these four individuals come together.
