On Wednesday, January 27th, Philip Le Vasseur, your host for “Art of Peace,” will be interviewing Christopher Lowman of Moving Towards Peace and Dr. Lori Leyden of Create Global Healing, both of whom have recently returned from Rwanda.
Moving towards Peace has partnered with Create Global Healing, a Santa Barbara-based non profit, to assist with their breakthrough program for holistically treating complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with two groups of orphan populations who survived the 1994 genocide. In 2009, over 40 generous donors contributed to make their first trip to Rwanda possible and a remarkable success.

This week in The KCSBeat, Colin Marshall’s Santa Barbara Independent column on the multifaceted goings-on of KCSB, DJ Ray Ramos of Friday night’s legendary Jammin’ a Little Old School is profiled:
Collecting nonstop since high school, Ramos has amassed a collection of over 2,000 vinyl albums, which he burns to CDs to play on his show. The night I sat in, he brought what I thought were two large binders of discs, but later, Reynoso showed up packing an absolutely gigantic case containing a seemingly endless variety of all the artists I know and love and many others besides. From this impressive selection — one that represented only a fraction of his entire collection — Ramos spun a wealth of material from the Chi-Lites, Cashmere, Slapback, Con Funk Shun, Slave, the Crown Heights Affair, and more.Surprisingly, after almost 35 years, Ramos still regularly unearths old school jams hitherto unknown to him. Old school, it seems, is like some sort of magical natural resource: Despite being produced for only a relatively brief period, its well never runs dry. Ramos still makes his regular trips down to L.A., checking in with his usual record shops and contacts, always finding something new. But at his level, old school collecting can be a pricey, competitive game. “I have this dude in L.A. who hooks me up with the good stuff,” he said, “but I don’t tell anyone about him.”

This week on The Marketplace of Ideas, Colin Marshall talks to Robin Hanson, professor of economics at George Mason University, fellow at Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute and chief scientist at Consensus Point. He’s also the thinker behind Overcoming Bias, a popular blog about issues of honesty, signaling, disagreement, forecasting and the far future, around which a large rationality-centric community has developed on the internet. “Flicking through Robin’s thoughts,” says the Observer, “you start to feel the ground shifting beneath you.”
The Marketplace of Ideas normally airs every Thursday at noon, but will air this Thursday at 12:30, after the day’s UCSB Reads segment.
