FLATIRONS MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTFlatirons Elementary School is a unique school that significantly contributes to meeting the academic, developmental and social needs of its students through a challenging academic course of study and related multifaceted activities. The school community provides students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and inspiration needed to become lifelong learners who are curious, creative, and analytical, adaptable and motivated to fulfill their highest potential. As a result of their Flatirons experience, students become confident individuals who value diversity and seek out life's challenges and adventures while acting in a socially responsible manner.
Location - Flatirons Elementary School is located on the corner of 7th Street and College Avenue at 1150 7th Street, Boulder, CO 80302.
Attendance Area - Our school serves a large geographic area. In Boulder our school attendance boundaries include: Canyon Boulevard on the north, Broadway on the east and Baseline on the south. We also include students who live in the Chautauqua area as well as several mountain areas. Students who live on or above Flagstaff, in Four Mile and Sunshine Canyons, in Knollwood, and on Sugarloaf are bused to school at Flatirons.
School Size - Our total school population is usually between two hundred eighty and three hundred ten students serving kindergarten through fifth grade.
Special Needs - We serve our student population with special needs by using a partial inclusion model. This means that the students who receive special education services receive most of these resources in the regular classroom. Up to 20% of our population receives this support each year.
Student Demographics - Approximately 8% of our population is composed of students with non-Caucasian racial background.
Curricular Program - We implement the approved Boulder Valley School District Curriculum. In addition we expect students to be engaged in service learning activities throughout the year. Students receive instruction in Art, Music and Physical Education in addition to the curriculum presented in the regular classroom.
Volunteers - Our school is fortunate to have a large number of parents, university students and members of the community who are willing to help extend our learning opportunities through their volunteer support. Due to this support we are often able to reduce the adult/student ratio to approximately 9/1.
We highly value the communication between our parents and the school staff. The following is a list of the ways you may receive information about your child's classroom, Flatirons Elementary and the Boulder Valley School District.
Flatirons Website - The school website contains information regarding all aspects of Flatirons Elementary and many links to district and educational websites. You can obtain information on upcoming events/activities, staff information, PE/Music/Art and Lunch Schedules, lunch menus, specialist schedules, enrollment and registration information, classroom information, parent information, awards, etc.
Flatirons Newsletter (Falcon News) - The school newsletter contains information regarding all aspects of Flatirons Elementary such as upcoming events, awards, program information and some community events.
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) - This group of parents, teachers and school staff organize fundraising activities and social events for the Flatirons School. All Flatirons parents are members and are encouraged to attend the meetings.
School Improvement Team (SIT) - This group of parents, teachers, school staff, and community patrons are the school's decision making body. They work together to assess how to improve Flatirons' student achievement, increasing student attendance, increasing the graduation rate, and the valuing of cultural diversity.
School Directory - The school directory is published yearly in the fall. It contains the address, phone number and parent names of each student. Also included are the school's calendar, school governance team, and school staff.
Report cards are sent home following each trimester. The first and second trimester, please sign and return ONLY THE ENVELOPE to your child's classroom teacher.
If you have special needs due to a disability, and wish to request accommodations in order to participate in any school activity, please notify the School Principal or BVSD Central office at (720) 561-5835 at least seven (7) days in advance of the event so that appropriate arrangements for reasonable accommodations may be made.
All visitors to Boulder Valley School District facilities are required to report to the office when they arrive. We ask that both visitors and volunteers sign in and wear a visitor/volunteer badge while in our building.

Kindergarten students attend class for half of the school day. The a.m. class is from 8:15 a.m. to 11:05 a.m. The p.m. class is from 11:55 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. If a request is made to the school office during enrollment, all attempts will be made to place the student in the session that is most helpful to the parent's schedule. There is no mid-day busing of kindergarten students.
Letting go can be hard, especially for parents. Don't let your doubts or nervousness dampen your child's enthusiasm for beginning school. If you have a positive attitude and look forward to the first day of school, your child will probably do the same.
Kindergarten students have assessment appointment times and a staggered start schedule during the first week of school. Students will attend during an assigned assessment time during assessment days. During staggered start days, both the morning and afternoon sessions half of each class will attend school the first day, and the other half of each class will attend the second day. Both halves will join for the first time after the two assessment days. Parents will be notified of their child's scheduled prior to school starting.
The Boulder Valley School District Community School Program offers a tuition-based Kindergarten Enrichment Program, a half day experience for kindergarten students. Interested parents may visit the Kindergarten Enrichment website prior to the beginning of school during enrollment where they can learn the monthly cost. At Flatirons Kindergarten Enrichment is offered five days a week, three days a week (MWF), or two days a week (TTH). Monthly billing will be sent from the Community School office.
Statement of Purpose - The purpose of the Kindergarten Enrichment Program is to offer a full day experience for children in a high quality developmentally appropriate environment.
Program Description - The program will reflect the philosophy and character of the school community and be consistent with the guidelines of a developmentally appropriate curriculum. The Kindergarten Enrichment Program will offer the children experiences such as imaginative play, creative dramatics, art and music, motor skill development and opportunities to learn and practice social skills. The program will include a balance of active and quiet activities as well as structured and unstructured projects. Coordination between the Kindergarten Enrichment Program and the regular kindergarten will exist and develop.
Kindergarten orientation is held every January. This is an information night for parents for their incoming kindergartener.
Flatirons students and staff:
Students at Flatirons are expected to display appropriate behavior in all locations at all times. Being responsible for one's behavior, being able to make appropriate choices and becoming independent learners are goals for all of us. Teachers and parents must assume the responsibility for teaching behaviors and skills which will support these goals. With this philosophy in mind, we have adopted a discipline policy which will assist children in becoming responsible learners.
Our discipline system is based on the four simple statements in the Honor Code. Students are expected to know these statements and adjust their behavior to comply with them.
Classroom teachers, in concert with their students, will generate their own list of behavior expectations.
As with all of us, sometimes a student will make a mistake in his or her choice of behavior. In this case we expect the student to be able to develop a plan for improving the behavior. In most cases this plan is related verbally to the intervening adult. If the behavior warrants more intensive intervention or the behavior has become chronic, we will complete a Discipline form that will be sent home to make the parents aware of the situation and to become aware of the efforts the student will be making to modify his or her behavior. If the inappropriate behavior continues we will ask the student, the parents, the classroom teacher and, if appropriate, the principal, to meet to develop a plan that will result in improved behavior.
Occasionally, a student may be suspended or expelled from school for more serious behavior infractions. One area that our students have inadvertently had problems with is carrying "lethal" weapons to school. This occasionally happens with items brought from home for show and tell. Please contact the school office ahead of time to discuss arrangements for any item that you may have questions about that could fall into this category.
Behavior interventions are based on a system of natural and logical consequences, not punishment. At all times the student is involved in the discussions regarding the behavior improvement plan and consequences for his or her inappropriate behavior. We have different levels of expectations for all students based on their developmental level and their ability to understand and comply with the expectations.
In intervening with students we expect the adults to follow our basic principles of management.
At Flatirons we believe:
The Flatirons staff believes that foundations for healthy social-emotional learning include trust, respect, personal responsibility, a sense of belonging, acceptance and caring commitment. We use the Second Step curriculum which proactively teaches critical social and emotional skills to children. The curriculum goals promote social-emotional competence and reduce disruptive behavior. The ability to transfer learning to real-life situations is a major goal of the Second Step program.
Flatirons Elementary strives to be a bias-free environment. Diverse family systems, races, cultures, religions, ages, genders, ability levels, etc. are valued. All children are expected to participate in all classroom activities with modifications made based on the personal needs of the student, their goals, and assignments. We strive to foster an inclusive environment where a sense of belonging to the classroom, school and neighborhood community is provided to each student.
Mission Statement - The mission of the Special Education Division is to provide a continuum of quality services for students with handicaps that acknowledges and values individual differences and fosters individual achievement.
Philosophy - The Special Education Division believes that all students with special needs can and will learn to the best of their abilities. We are committed to providing a positive educational experience that promotes student achievement and advancement. We recognize that each student has individual skills, interests, talents and educational needs, and we believe that we have substantial influence over individual student learning and success. For these reasons, the emphasis is on providing for specialized individual strengths, rather than limitations. Our focus is on desired student learning outcomes based on positive expectations for each student. In this way, we support each student in achieving his or her own potential and unique success.
The special education process is viewed as a collaborative effort involving families, general education staff, para-professionals, educationally related service providers, other community agencies, and professionals. We believe that, working together, we all contribute to student success and the achievement of individual goals and objectives.
Special education shares with general education the responsibility and goal of educating all students, including those with handicapping conditions. For this reason special education is viewed as an extension of the general education program rather than a separate program. Students with handicaps may require certain modifications and adjustments of curricula, materials, and instructional techniques within the inclusive environment, providing a continuum of support.
The Talented and Gifted program at Flatirons Elementary with the help of parents and members of the extended community offers many enrichment opportunities to all students. These may include activities such as Math Club, National Geography Bee, Spelling Bee and Chess Club. In addition, our Flatirons Talented and Gifted Education Advisor (TEA), works with students in small groups created with input from classroom teachers.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer please contact our TEA.
What Is TAG? - TAG stands for Talented and Gifted. TAG is identification within BVSD designed to meet the advanced academic needs of students in grades K-12.
Who Nominates A Child For TAG Assessment? - A child can be nominated for TAG assessment by any teacher, parent or student as well as our TAG Education Advisor.
How Is A Child Identified? - We use several bodies of evidence in the identification process. Tests are given in the areas of spatial relations, language arts and math. Parents, teachers and specialists are asked to fill out student inventories. BVSD allows up to ten weeks for the assessment process. Our TAG Committee meets to review all information and a decision is made.
How Do You Meet Needs Of All The TAG Students With Just One TEA? - The needs of the majority of TAG students at Flatirons are met in the classroom. While we have just one TEA, we have twelve classroom teachers who are masters at differentiating instruction to meet the need of TAG students within the classroom. Classroom teachers consult regularly with our TEA. Your child may be involved in a group with the TEA.
School begins promptly at 8:15 a.m. Supervision for students begins at 8:00 a.m. We advise parents to not have their children arrive prior to the time when supervision is provided unless previous arrangements have been made with the classroom teacher and/or school office. Choir students may arrive at their designated time, and students in the Before School YMCA program may arrived at their arranged times. We monitor student absences and tardies and notify parents of concerns at the end of each trimester. We are striving to have students in attendance and on time except when they must stay home due to illness or family planned absences.
Upon arrival at school, students should play on the playground or line up for their classes outside the door nearest their classroom. Children will not be permitted to enter the building before the entrance bell signal except to have breakfast or by special permission of the teacher.
During severe weather, when school is in session, there will be a pink indoor recess sign posted on the front doors, and children will be admitted to the cafeteria upon arrival.
School ends at 2:50 p.m. At that time, students are to get directly to their bus, walk or ride home, go to their after school activity, or go directly to the YMCA after school program. Students who would like to play on the playground after school are to go home, check in with their care provider and then return to the playground.
A.M. Kindergarten and Kindergarten Enrichment students are to arrive with the rest of the students. Kindergarten Enrichment students will leave their program for lunch in the cafeteria, and then go outside for supervised recess until the start of P.M. Kindergarten.
P.M. Kindergarten students not in Kindergarten Enrichment are to arrive not more than fifteen minutes before the start of the P.M. Kindergarten program. They will leave at 2:50 p.m. with the rest of the students.
Students are expected to be in school when it is in session unless they are ill, a family emergency prevents attendance, or a religious holiday is being observed.
Students are expected to be at school on time. Students should not arrive before supervision begins on the playground (8:00 a.m.).
Your child's safety is of extreme importance to us. We carefully monitor student absences in our office. We expect all students able to attend school to not only be present, but to be on time. Regular attendance is crucial to student success in school. We take attendance every morning and after lunch each day. If a student will not be in school, we ask that the parent contact the school office by 8:15 a.m. To do this, call the school office at (720) 561-4600 or the attendance line at (720) 561-4602.
When a student is late in arriving at school he/she needs to sign in on the Late Check-In Sheet at the office.
When a child needs to be dismissed early for personal reasons, please send a note to the teacher and to the office, including the date, time, reason for early dismissal and the name of the person picking up the student. Please report to directly to the office upon arrival to sign your child out. You may then pick your child up from his/her classroom. The child will not be allowed to wait outside for early dismissal.
When a child has parent's permission to go to another person's home after school, please send a dated not, including the name of the person. If the child is riding the bus, the dated note must include the name of the person and that the bus will be taken. A pink bus note will be given to the student by someone in the school office in order for the child to be permitted to ride the bus. Also, play plans must be made and confirmed before the child arrives at school. Telephone calls to arrange play dates will NOT be permitted.
Telephone use by students is permitted only under certain conditions. Students may use a school phone, with a school personnel's permission, in case of an emergency or to clarify parental directions as to where to go after school. School phones are NOT be used to arrange after school play dates.
Flatirons Health Room is staffed four hours a day by a para-educator. If the health room para is unavailable, the office staff assists the child.
When a child is not feeling well at school the health room staff will determine the extent of illness or injury and decide if the parent should be called. Except in cases involving emergency medical procedures, the primary responsibility for transporting injured or ill students will be with the student's parents or those individuals listed on the Student Emergency Information Sheet. When a parent is called to pick up a child due to illness, it is expected that this will be done as soon as possible. We will expect students to go home if they are unable to return to the classroom, have a fever, or have an injury or illness requiring parent/doctor intervention. All communicable diseases should be reported to the school as soon as diagnosed.
Medications are sometimes necessary for students during the school day. State law requires: NO medication, prescription or non-prescription, shall be administered by any school personnel, including the nurse, except on written authorization of a physician and parent. Also: NO medication, prescription or non-prescription may be carried by a student to take on his/her own, i.e., in a lunch box or pocket, unless special arrangements have been made with the physician, school nurse consultant, parent and the student. Contact your health room para regarding the district policy on "inhalers" and "Epi Pens".
It is the parents' responsibility to obtain the "Parent's Request for Giving Medicine at School, Release Agreement and Physician's Signed Order" form from the school's health room or from the Medications in School page of the Flatirons website. All medication must be in a pharmacy labeled bottle that matches the physician's order, or in the original container for over the counter medications. A new order from the physician and parent is required for each school year, and for any medication dosage change (up or down), as well as a "stop" decision.
Whenever possible, parents are encouraged to have the child's medication given at times other than school hours. Parents can always come to school and administer medication to their child.
BVSD Board Policy strongly recommends that all students entering kindergarten, 4th, 7th and 10th grade, and all those new to the district receive a physical examination. Your physician has a form for the examination in his/her office. Please return the form on the first day of school or as soon as possible. Parents will also have to fill out a current health questionnaire. For any student with a significant health condition parents are requested to submit an update each school year.
ALL students entering BVSD school must show proof of immunizations upon enrolling. The required forms are available at area doctor's offices, the Boulder County Health Department or at the school.
Screening is done annually for students grades K, 1, 2, 3 & 5 under the supervision of the school nurse. They are performed in September. New students and special referrals are screened throughout the year. Parents may request these services by calling the school.
It is extremely important that the Emergency Contact Forms be returned to school on the first day of school each year. Please complete the entire form, including the Significant Health Section on the bottom of the form. It is mandatory that we have two emergency contacts listed. Be sure to notify the office with any changes in emergency information and phone numbers: home, cell and work. If your child is ill, he or she may only be released to those listed on the Emergency Contact Form. If you will be out of town, please inform us in writing who will be caring for your child.
Children are expected to dress appropriately for school. Please be aware of our changeable weather and prepare children accordingly. Recess is cancelled only when the wind is strong enough to lift the dust, the chill factor makes it unbearable to be outside, or it is raining. We recognize and take care of the very few exceptions to this rule, but do not feel comfortable when we are told a child cannot go out because "he/she is sick". Children who cannot participate in all phases of the school program should be kept at home until the illness has passed. Students are to take all articles needed during recess time with them when they are dismissed. They are not permitted to come back into the building during recess unless they have permission.

Be sure to complete your volunteer agreement form and background screening at the beginning of every school year.
Before field trips, either walking or transported, a permission slip will be sent home with each student. This slip must be signed by a parent and returned to the teacher prior to the outing. Students without signed permission will not be allowed to participate in the trip. Parent volunteers are usually needed to accompany students on these excursions.
The Flatirons Media Center provides resources for the students, teaching staff, parents, and volunteers at Flatirons Elementary School. We maintain an open library in which anyone is welcome to use our resources during the school day, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We offer various types of instructional technology including: an automated library circulation and catalog system, CD-ROMs and access to the Internet. Students are responsible for books they check out and may keep them for as long as needed. Books are to be returned as soon as they are read. Books not returned or renewed after three months will be considered "lost" and are to be paid for by the student.
Our Media Center is a busy place in which volunteers play an important role. Volunteers assist students with keyword searching, locating materials, answering reference questions, as well as working with circulation, materials processing, and collection maintenance. During the course of a school year, volunteers are recruited to assist with one time only events such as the annual book fair, the annual paperback book exchange, and other special events such as author visits, and Children's Book Week or National Library Week activities.
In the spring, teachers of the present grade level place students for the next year. Students and parents are able to view final class lists the week before school starts. The final class lists are posted at the front entrance of the school.
The lost and found box is located on the stage. Lost and found items will be displayed in the front hall several times during the school year: during parent/teacher conferences, prior to spring break and during the last week of school. All unclaimed items will be donated to a charity at the end of each walk-through. Please label all articles that your child brings to school.
School supply packets will be available to purchase from the PTO at the beginning of each school year at the school store for parents who wish to save time shopping. School supply lists will be posted on the Flatirons website.
Students are welcome and encouraged to ride their bikes to school. Bike racks are available along the North wall of the school for locking bicycles. The decision to permit a student to use a bicycle and the compliance with basic safety rules relating to bike use are the responsibilities of the student and his/her parents. The school strongly suggests that parents review general safety procedures as well as safe routes to and from school with the bike rider. The school does not undertake any responsibility for the safety of students when they are not on school grounds, nor the responsibility to prevent any student from riding a bike to or from school. The school district cannot be responsible for lost, stolen or damaged bicycles.
Students are welcome and encouraged to walk to school. Please encourage your child to develop proper safety habits. They should: begin the journey to school early enough to arrive on time without rushing; walk on the sidewalk, or if there is no sidewalk, on the left side facing oncoming traffic; cross only at intersections and school crosswalks, refuse to enter or approach strange automobiles, and proceed directly to school or home before beginning to play.
Please leave your dog behind if you are walking your child to school. Family pets behave very nicely at home, but may be overwhelmed by the number of kids at school if they are brought. This has led to some behaviors by dogs that do not occur at home and provide an unsafe situation for students who do not know the dog. We also must ask that dogs stay out of school unless they are being brought for a special purpose.
The bus schedules are available the last working day for the office staff prior to the first day of school in the fall. This schedule is posted outside the main entrance of the school. During the school year, the schedule may be obtained from the transportation department at (720) 561-5120.
Many of our children ride a bus each day or will have an opportunity to ride the bus some time during the school year. The following basic rules and suggestions are designed to help provide the safest means of transportation.
During bad weather when school is in session, children will be admitted to the building upon arrival. A pink sign will be posted in the front window if it is an indoor recess day.
Before The Bus Arrives - Children are expected to display appropriate behavior at their respective bus stops, waiting patiently and quietly at all times.
Boarding The Bus - Children are expected to display appropriate behavior.
Conduct On The Bus - Children are expected to display appropriate behavior.
Leaving The Bus - Children are expected to display appropriate behavior.
The daily activities at school require a tremendous effort from elementary school children. Flatirons Elementary emphasizes individual thoughtfulness, cooperation and problem solving in all skill areas within the classroom. This demands that students are rested, comfortably engaged, eager and confident, so they can succeed on a daily basis.
Homework/study time will be given as appropriate to the age and ability level of the student. All students should read nightly. It is important that a student feels responsible for his or her own work and parents encourage and support the student by providing an appropriate space and regular schedule for the homework/reading/study time.
Various types of homework/reading/study time serve to support the students' growth by promoting: the development of good study habits; opportunities for memorization, drill and practice; academic skill development based on individual needs; reading as a background for classroom activities; interaction between students and other people in their home, neighborhood or community; and the opportunity to complete unfinished class work.
If a child seems to be spending an inordinate amount of time on homework, or if it is a large source of frustration for the family, parents are encouraged to contact the classroom teacher for assistance or modifications. For example, if you are having trouble helping your child with homework tasks or the assignment seems unclear, please write your concerns on the homework assignment or contact your child's teacher.
The individual teacher will assign projects according to the following guidelines. A general rule of thumb is for students in first grade to spend ten minutes each night on their studies. They should increase this time each year by about ten minutes.
Primary Grades (K-2) - Time for play and unstructured free time are essential to children's physical and cognitive development. Children also need time for outside-of-school learning experiences. At this level, children should read nightly, and homework from time to time is appropriate to serve the purpose of introducing and reinforcing habits that support life-long learning. Parent's reading aloud to children is a significant contributor to the child's success in school.
Intermediate Grades (3-4) - The intermediate teachers develop their homework program based on the above statements. An increased amount of reading is expected. Homework is sent home weekly and the time spent on daily homework will vary with the individual teacher and student.
Fifth Grade - Students are expected to read every night, independently and/or with a parent or other family member. Other homework is assigned according to curricular needs. There is an emphasis over the year on developing student's abilities to do long-term and research oriented assignments. We help the students learn to budget their time and break large assignments into smaller segments.
Under all but the most extreme conditions, school officials have a responsibility to keep school in session. When the weather is bad, but school is open, parents must make a family decision regarding attendance or late arrival for their children. Please call the school office to tell them your child will be late or absent.
Whenever it is necessary to close the schools, the District contacts some of the TV channels and radio stations. You can check the BVSD website each year to find out which channels and radio stations carry the information. Information is also available on the BVSD website page at www.bvsd.org. Click on CANCELLATIONS! There is also a link to the webpage from the Flatirons Elementary website on the Snow Closure page.
Notification is given prior to 6:30 a.m. or as soon as the decision is made to close during the day.
Please review a safe route to school with your children so they are aware of stop signs, of corners where they need to take extreme care as they cross, the use of crosswalks, and, for those who cross at 9th Street, the appropriate use of the pedestrian light at 9th and College.
Students are to dismount their bikes, scooters or skateboards when they are on school grounds. They are also to take off their roller blades upon entering the school grounds.
Please do everything you can to make these times of day safe ones for all our children.
You may park in several areas when picking up or dropping off your student: our children.
We have a handicapped parking area just in front of the school on the east side of 7th, south of the faculty parking lot. We also have a designated area in the parking lot.

LibreOffice is becoming the Swiss army knife in the office

So, to sum up:
- LO 4.1 adds filters for reading files from Word 5.1 on Mac (released in 1992), WriteNow 4.0 (released pre-1993), MacWrite Pro 1.5 (released in 1994) and AppleWorks 6.0 (released in 2002).
- LO 4.0 removed filters for reading files from StarOffice 1.0-5.1, it's direct ascendant (released pre-1996 to 1999).
Do you know how many bugs on LO bugzilla ever mentioned Write Now or MacWrite Pro? Zero.
And StarOffice? Nine.
It might be not huge number, but there were some people that actually took time to register and notice developers that they (users) can no longer read their old files.
Speaking from user perspective, what is a logic here? Why do we remove support for newer formats and add support for older formats? Why do we remove feature wanted by minority of users and half year later add feature that no-one has ever asked for?
- 16 July, 2013 17:34
I wanted to say the same like Miroslaw: The removal of the import filter of binary StarOffice SDW, SDA, SDC, SDD files is a serious omission.
However, many of these old files did even not open correctly in LibreOffice 3.6 (many of them had quit with an "input error" message. Therefore, I took the effort to convert my ~260 old binary StarOffice files with an OpenOffice 1.0.1 running in a wine emulation (since I couldn't run OOo 1.0.1 on recent Linux distributions). In this old programme I converted it to .sxw,... which I could convert in LO 4.0 to recent ODF files. For me, as a private person, this was possible, but for people having thousands of StarOffice files, this is an absolute NoGo! There was also no reasonable automation possible, because no automation approach really worked with OOo 1.0.1.
Import filters for SDW, SDA, SDC, SDD files would be good to have, indeed. Alternatively, IMHO it would be sufficient if the LibreOffice team would run an old OpenOffice 1.0.1. with a ODF conversion tool online and provide a hint for users if they want to open an old StarOffice binary file.

Better question is "why LibreOffice doesn't read files made by itself?".
We both know about fdo#64916 and I assume that none of developers will glance at this bugreport before 4.1 release. I am feeling fooled a little because there is huge regression. Community spend years of their life to make Open/LibreOffice better product but developers are parading these useless enhancements and do nothing with really significant issues. I got impression that in last time, in TDF there is more stupid marketing actions than really needed actions.
Other issue are proved regressions, dropped by developers many months ago.

@Mirosław Zalewski - presumably because third-party libs to do the job already exist so it's easy. I doubt they would ever have implemented the old Mac format filters (a WONTFIX on OOo since 2001) if libmwaw hadn't just been right there to use.
Note, btw, that AOO is also removing the StarOffice import filters in AOO 4.0. From this, I presume that the old binfilter sucks that much.

This is fantastic!

The actual answer is, really, "so write the filter".
Or write a stripped-down standalone that does nothing but convert old StarOffice formats to ODF.
In the general case: write code.
It is slightly embarrassing that LO doesn't read SO formats ... but as I noted, the old code sucked so much that AOO doesn't either. And they've railed against "code cleanups" in the past.

Kate Middleton at 'African Cats' film premiere in Matthew Williamson
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stepped out for the first time together since Prince William's recent tour of duty in the Falklands. The royal couple, who celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Sunday, attended the UK premiere of African Cats, a documentary about lions and cheetahs in Africa.
For the occasion, Kate Middleton rocked another peplum this time from Matthew Williamson's Pre-Fall 2012 collection. The chic muted grey dress took on an African theme of its own thanks to a turquoise beaded neckline and sleeves. It also featured a slim skirt, 3/4 sleeves and an exposed zip. To top off her look, the Duchess added a pair of charcoal grey suede pumps from Emmys Shoes and a matching charcoal square clutch. For her jewellery she donned her engagement ring and a set of Kiki McDonough blue topaz and diamond earrings. Her hair and make-up was as always, flawless.
Kate and Wills didn't just hit the red carpet to see a film, they are also strong supporters of the Tusk Trust of which the film is helping to raise funds for. The organisation focuses on raising money to help wide range projects across Africa to help protect wildlife, particularly endangered species.

Of the 58 eligible guards that played 50% or more of the offensive snaps, he graded at 34.
He graded better at pass blocking than run blocking. His best grade was penalities.
Overal score was -3.2, -.9 in pass blocking, -4.4 in run blocking, and 2.1 in penalties.
He was credited with 4 qb sacks, 7 hits, and 13 pressures.
They also offer a Pass Blocking Efficiency stat where he ranks 27th out of 55 eligible guards.
Anyway you look at it, he was middle of the pack. Moore was ranked 7th in the leage in pass blocking efficiency for guards btw.

US military jets to run on weeds, scum & corpse-grease
Well on track to making their aircraft run on coal, the US forces have just ordered 600,000 gallons of renewable jet fuel made from weeds, algae or rendered fat from animal corpses. News of the biofuel push comes courtesy of Honeywell subsidiary UOP, which has been developing sustainable/renewable biofuels for use in jet engines …
Had to be the Military to cotton on first
Knowledge of Peak Oil has been around for years and yet Governments and the Military have been very slow to respond to the problems ahead.
It seems, in the USA at least, that they are finally waking up to the real issues of limited oil in the not-too-distant future...
Sustainable alright
Animal corpses ie dead people fuel figther jets. Fighter jets kill people. Perfect.
Soylent Green
For a while now, petrol[eum distillate] companies have been promoting their fuels as being green. Now we know what they mean!
Soylent Green for jets!
Well, now, the green revolution is getting under way just fine! Fluffy, you, too, shall serve our country.
Or maybe this means that the ROTM will find that there are over 6 billion fuel cells running about...
At least the military is honest.
They said right off they're not so concerned with environmental issues, and for most militaries that isn't a priority. Ensuring an unbroken supply chain, OTOH, IS a valid concern, just as you don't want potentially-collapsible bridges across key military harbors.
Not the first
Has anyone read A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! also by Harry Harrison? There they had coal fired aircraft.
>It seems, in the USA at least, that they are finally waking up to the real issues of limited oil in
>the not-too-distant future...
Don't forget the substantial reserves the lie off the U.S. coast that are either off-limits or too expensive comparable to imports to exploit.
The U.S. remains one of the largest oil producers today -- 20% less then Saudi Arabia (#1), and twice as much as Iran (#4).
There's a lot more oil still to be pumped. But that doesn't mean there isn't a good case to be made for developing alternatives more heavily, such as nuclear power (for electric heating to displace oil in the northeast), or compressed natural gas for motor vehicles to reduce gasoline and diesel usage.
What's the miles-per-corpse of a jet? Is there a corpse guzzler tax? Credits for introducing new corpses into the biofuel pool? Corpse-neutral status if burn=kill?
Glad I'm not the only one
Niall: Glad I'm not the only one sick enough to think this first.
How long before the military goes crazy in a "must to kill in order to make fuel in order to kill" death cycle.
Does this qualify as ROTM (rise of the machines) or no since we are doing it to ourselves?
@Bit Fiddler
Damn you for posting first :)
How long
Before the military drones flying about realise they can get their fuel from rendered down human beings instead of having to rely on the humans...............
<<currently preparing his guns and ammunition stockpile
No this isn't a Nazi uber post,
but Dr Lippish design a coal fired aircraft, we are not talking steam train technology but a more volatile substance based upon micronised coal dust.....
....proabably akin to the way you can *alledgedly make explosives out for fine ground flour!?
Shurely shome mishtake?
"About a tonne of coal has to be burned to produce a tonne of synthifuel with this method."
A tonne of jet fuel from every tonne of coal? That sounds rather efficient to me. Has someone got their figures wrong here?
Marketing blurb
"Our fuel is only made from the finest, freshest, fattest corpses, lovingly sourced from exotic far-away countries you've never heard of. Each corpse is tenderly rendered down and the clearest, most calorie-laden fat expertly distilled into our premium fuel."
Editor's Note:
No animals are hurt in the production of "People Petrol" (Trademark pending).
All corpses are gathered from sustainable sources.
Carbon neutral.
(With apologies to Monty Python)
Am I wrong in understanding corpses to be human and that a dead animal is usually termed a carcass? Or are you talking about the human animal?
@Rob Dobs
It does count as ROTM because these engines will surely be going in drones and whathaveyou. So yes, soon they will be able to kill and eat us meatbags at will. Huge robotic eagles swooping down, laser eyes blasting, to grab puny humans into their huge fuel scoops for "processing".
I, for one...
Fischer-Tropsch process and fuel synthesis
"Synthetic jetfuel made from coal using the Fischer-Tropsch process is already certified on many US military aircraft, but this is actually worse in carbon emissions than using crude oil. About a tonne of coal has to be burned to produce a tonne of synthifuel with this method."
AFAIK, the Fischer-Tropsch process is more flexible this. Given sources of hydrogen and CO it can produce synthetic fuels as described. But there is nothing other than cost to prevent the CO coming from burning sustainable vegetation or algae and the hydrogen coming from electrolysis of water using wind or other renewable electricity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer%E2%80%93Tropsch_process
Yeah right.. a Fuel that takes a tonne of another fuel to make is efficient? think about it..
fuel that needs 100% of another fuel - proposed fuel
Fuel that needs 1% of another fuel - existing oil fuel
I dotn think you can call it a fuel.. more like a chemical battery that needs a tonne of coal to charge it.
i, for one, will be screaming...
Hmmm rendered fat
from animal corpses. I wonder how may hectares of land will needed to be wasted to produce the feed for these animals and if indeed these animals will be eaten.
Headlines "Yanks die fat helping to eat mountain of US Mil meat not needed after fat has beeen removed."

Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) -- For more than three months, the U.S. military has faced off with defiant prisoners on a hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay, strapping down as many as 44 each day to feed them a liquid nutrient mix through a nasal tube to prevent them from starving to death.
The standoff, which prompted President Barack Obama to renew his call to close the detention center, has grown to involve 104 of the 166 prisoners as of Saturday, and may be nearing a crisis point. Yet the experience of a former detainee demonstrates that a hunger strike at Guantanamo can be as indefinite as the open-ended detention that is at the heart of essentially every conflict at the military prison.
The men undergoing forced-feeding aren't permitted to speak to journalists, but Ahmed Zuhair knows what the experience is like. Until he was released from U.S. custody in 2009, he and another prisoner had the distinction of staging the longest hunger strikes at the prison. Zuhair kept at it for four years in a showdown that at times turned violent.
The military acknowledges a "forced cell extraction team" was repeatedly used to move him when he refused to walk on his own to where striking detainees were fed. He says his nasal passages and back are permanently damaged from the way he was strapped down and fed through a nasogastric tube.
Court papers show that Zuhair once racked up 80 disciplinary infractions in four months, refusing to be force-fed among them, and that he and fellow prisoners smeared themselves with their own feces for five days to keep guards at bay and protest rough treatment.
Zuhair, a former sheep merchant who was never charged with any crime during seven years at Guantanamo, stopped eating in June 2005, and kept up his protest until he was sent home to Saudi Arabia in 2009.
"Not once did the thought occur to me to stop my hunger strike," he says now. "Not once."
Zuhair spoke to The Associated Press in a telephone interview along with his lawyer, Ramzi Kassem, a law professor at City University of New York.
The 47-year-old Zuhair lives with his wife and children in the Muslim holy city of Mecca. He said he doesn't get much news about Guantanamo in Saudi Arabia but that the world should not be surprised that prisoners are back on strike.
"The men there today are going through the same experience and they are suffering just as much, and so they probably will not stop either," he said.
Since the prison opened in 2002, seven prisoners have committed suicide. It's the policy of the U.S. Department of Defense to try to keep strikers alive. The feeding procedure is considered safe and its use has been upheld by the courts, said Navy Capt. Robert Durand, a spokesman for the detention center.
The medical personnel who conduct the feedings lubricate the feeding tubes, offer anesthetics to the prisoners and have rules for nasal rest to prevent long-lasting damage, Durand said.
"We think there are adequate safeguards in place to make it as pain-free and comfortable as possible," he said. "It's not done to inflict pain and it's not done as punishment. It's done to preserve life."
Officials refer to the process by the medical term "enteral feeding" rather than "force feeding." It involves restraining men with straps that resemble airplane seatbelts to a specially designed chair that looks like a piece of exercise equipment. Zuhair called it the "torture chair" and said he was left tied down for hours at a time, ostensibly so the liquid nutrient drink Ensure could be digested.
It is difficult to confirm the accounts of either prisoners or military officials. Journalists are not allowed to watch the feeding process or interview the men held behind the perimeter fences and coils of razor wire at this isolated U.S. military base on the southeastern edge of the Cuban coast.
Pardiss Kebriaei, a lawyer with the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, recently returned from a visit with clients held at Guantanamo and said several of the men had trouble concentrating, which she attributed in part to being kept isolated in solid-walled cells for most of the day.
She said one prisoner, Sabry Mohammed of Yemen, had lost more than 60 pounds (27 kilograms).
"Sabry Mohammed was a healthy young man before the strike," Kebriaei said in an email. "It was startling this time to see how much he has changed physically."

Pomegranate Martini Recipe
- k
- Kaisgraham Jan 27, 2007 01:19 PM
1 part Vodka (I prefer Absolute)
1 part Trader Joe's Organic pasteurized Pomegranate juice
juice of one half lime
Shake in martini shaker with lots of ice.
Serves 1. Yum!
re: fafner
I'm with you. It's a cocktail, not a martini, unless it is only gin, vermouth, and bitters.
I made pom cocktails recently and they were a hit. Pom juice, vodka and triple sec. Don't worry about portions, just mix a bit of each and you are set. Or pour one for yourself and adjust accordingly. Cheers!
This is hardly a cocktail but I found a fantastic aperitif is pom juice plus champagne (you can even use the cheap stuff). Made a pitcher for a party and it was a huge hit.
You've got to try this one - the PomIranian. WOW.
A teeny bit more work but oh, so worth it....
I grow pomegranates at home in Oakland. It's a beautiful tree and produces several quarts of arils in October; due to climate, they are stronger and not as sweet as the commercially available varieties.
You can get good pomegranates this time of year in the farmer's markets.
Here's a purist recipe with gin and without the sour:
2-3 parts gin (Plymouth, Hendricks, Sapphire)
1 part Pama liqueur
shake over ice; garnish with pomegranate arils
If that's too dry, can add pomegranate syrup if you can find one made with real pomegranate (Monin is OK, not great). I make my own with The Perfect Puree's frozen pomegranate-thaw and stir in enough sugar to saturate fully (about 4 to 1).
If it's too strong, can add Pom juice (or squeeze your own in season).
I also have a daiquiri and punch if anyone is interested.
Not a martini but a great Christmas coctail:
Seeed two pomegranites (hint: cut the pom in a bowl filled with water. Then seed the pom under the water. You won't stain anything this way)
Soak the seeds in enough brandy to cover and add the zest of one orange.
Place the soaked seeds in a champainge glass and cover with a bubbly white wine, prosecco, Champaigne, or Cava.
When the seeds are all gone, pour the remaining brandy into a nice snifter and enjoy. Waste not, want not.

The Bob Barker's Daily Menu
Merilee Nyland
With Christmas behind us, we move forward to find the fleet hoping no harm will befall the whales before the New Year. No matter the icy Antarctic waters and the frigid cold on deck, the galley is always warm, providing for those working hard around the clock to uphold the law and the wishes from so many people around the world - the protection of whales.
Today's vegan and whale-friendly menu:
Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup, serves 7-10
Preheat oven to 180C/400F. Chop bell pepper and onion into large pieces (2" chunks). Place in a deep baking dish with whole garlic cloves, whole fresh chili pepper, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix to coat vegetables with oil and spices. Place in the oven for about 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and turning black around the edges. Transfer entire contents of baking dish (including oil) into a medium pot on medium heat. Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and blend well (I prefer using an immersion blender directly in the pot, but a regular blender is ok so long as soup is not so hot to pose a safety hazard). Soup should be rich and creamy. Reheat if necessary and serve!
Sweet and sour tofu, Serves 7-10
Preheat oven to 180C /400F. Drain tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and pressing between two plates or chopping boards. Cut into 1" squares or triangles, place in a baking dish, drizzle with ¼ cup oil. Place in oven for 15 minutes, flip, and cook for another 15 minutes or until tofu is golden and crispy. While tofu is cooking, mix together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and water. Slowly add the cornstarch whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Set aside. In a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, sauté garlic, ginger, and chili in oil for one minute. Add the liquid mixture, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Add onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and the can of pineapple with its juice. Reduce heat to low. When tofu is ready, add it to the pot and cook together until vegetables are just cooked! Serve with rice.

Selecting Single-Use Systems for Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
This article is excerpted from "Best Practices In Adopting Single-Use Systems" in the Jan. 2014 issue of BioPharm International.
Bioprocessors have successfully deployed single-use equipment at nearly every conceivable production scale. Yet, the decision to "go disposable" is significant. It involves considering the product, scale, process, and corporate objectives that include the value of legacy stainless-steel equipment. Decisions made early in process development and scaleup will affect the trajectory of manufacturing at successive production scales. Employing best practices when selecting single-use products during process development can ease the transition from clinical to commercial production and maximize the overall benefit of single-use systems. Based on shared and observed experiences in single-use bioprocessing, the principal factors to consider when embarking on a new single-use deployment include materials of construction, components, system design, and vendor support. Neglecting these considerations can result in costly delays and an uncertain pathway to commercial scale-up.
Frequent change notices from single-use system suppliers altering materials of construction carry potential quality implications that may delay program timelines and add to quality assurance costs. Consider the frequency of a vendor's change notices, or whether the vendor is providing notifications at all. New materials introduced to existing systems can lead to validation issues and delay a product's time-to-market.
Delaying a development program or manufacturing campaign due to an unreliable supplier can be a real issue. Delays occur when a crucial component of a single-use system has a very long lead time. Because the assembler cannot produce the system without this component, system delivery times will be dictated by the long-lead item. To avoid this pitfall, assess potential suppliers by the experience of users who have previously worked with them.
Bioprocessors will commonly use any component on hand during preclinical development. By the time a product reaches clinical testing, processors will have a much better idea of what the process looks like. By Phase III, the process becomes "locked." As integral components of manufacturing processes, single-use components and systems should parallel biopharmaceutical development in terms of maturity. When processes become established, so should the components.
The vendor's job is to produce and ship precisely the system a bioprocessor requires. The system should arrive with the required regulatory documentation, ready to use. At one time, bioprocessors made routine modifications to single-use systems at their facilities. These days, it is best to avoid changes at a facility, particularly those that might compromise sterility.
The customer-vendor relationship should be capable of feedback that results in system optimization, thus, creating significant value for both parties. Because flexibility and ease of modification are key advantages of single-use systems, end-users should seek vendors that are adept at maximizing these advantages.
Customers must assess the value associated with every aspect of vendor contact. This process need not be difficult. If the vendor consistently assists in problem-solving, improving processes, and educating their clients, then the time is well spent. Vendors should demonstrate competence in their clients' bioprocessing niche, and be eager to point out how changes in equipment or operations will improve the process. Suppliers who do not provide this level of value should be avoided as time spent with them offers no tangible return.
After determining the suitability of single use, bioprocess organizations must consider the practical aspects of "going disposable." Examining the impact of materials, components, systems, and the vendor relationship at each stage and at every level will help customers make good decisions. Value should always be the bottom line: Does deploying a single-use device improve your process, and thereby your product? Will adoption drive key business objectives such as improved quality, shorter timelines, and cost savings in a concrete, quantifiable way? Will your relationship with your supplier be a two-way street, supportive, and mutually value-driven, or does the vendor's responsibility end with the sale?

Fitting luggage on a KTM 125 Duke might seem as pointless as putting race slicks on a Suzuki Burgman, but if you're a teenager who has the touring bug, you need to know your options. Too low powered and dinky to cope with hard panniers or a topbox, the Duke is limited to soft bags and bungee straps. With this ...

How do you go faster when you're off-roading? Just add more BHP, right? This twisted logic is the basis for one of the oddest custom builds to surface on the internet yet: a GSX1300R Hayabusa dirt trike. The custom-built axle assembly is attached to a custom made drag-bike styled swingarm. To push the limits of sense and taste, it has ...

This week, the Solar Energy Industries Association joined other renewable energy advocates, businesses, and environmental groups to urge the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to reject a new proposal from Xcel Energy that would discourage net-metered solar energy growth in its territory.
Following months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering, it appears the Senate will begin debate soon on critically important legislation which could help American consumers, businesses and the federal government to save hundreds of millions of dollars each year by using less energy. And using less energy gives us a big leg up in the fight against climate change.
Like thick smog hanging stubbornly overhead, many of the arguments against President Obama's climate change policy are stagnant, potentially dangerous and pose a serious, long-term threat to America's future.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is historically one of the greatest catalysts of technological innovation. Through its procurement power alone it has the ability to transform markets.
Someone once said: "Your vocation in life is where your greatest joy meets the world's greatest need."

As we celebrate the 4th of July holiday, Americans everywhere will take a moment to remember the men and women who have made freedom possible.

Today, I testified before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing & Trade on behalf of the American workers and businesses in the U.S. solar industry about India's restrictive and unfair trade practices.
Today's decision by the U.S. government to challenge India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (National Solar Mission) local content requirement at the World Trade Organization (WTO) highlights a growing problem in the solar industry—the growth of localization barriers to trade.
Super Bowl Sunday is fast approaching. The Baltimore Ravens will battle the San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans' Superdome for the The Vince Lombardi Trophy, but most of the fans don't know that there's another battle going on just beyond the gridiron: The Solar Bowl.
This Monday, the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., opened one of the world's first solar-powered carousels to visitors. The Conservation Carousel, besides having very ornate, hand-carved animals, has a net-zero impact on the Zoo's energy consumption. It runs entirely off of its 162 solar panels. It even diverts excess power back to the zoo.

BREMEN — With Indiana's version of March Madness mere days away, Culver capped the regular season on a high note Friday night.
After a tremendous start, Culver never looked back and topped Bremen, 54-39.
"We got them earlier in the year at the Bi-County Tournament but we knew this was going to be a dogfight, and we had some kids step up for us," Culver coach Kyle Elliott said. "I'm very proud of the kids' effort."
As it has much of the season, Bremen dug itself an early hole, and couldn't cut its deficit to less than 12 points over the final two quarters.
"When you're in that kind of hole you give everything you have to get out and just run out of energy, and that's what happened to us," Bremen coach Kyle Hanyzewski said. "They worked as hard as they could but they aren't capable of coming back from that kind of hole, and unfortunately the last five games that's what's happened."
From a shooting standpoint, Culver (14-7) was perfect in the first quarter. The Cavaliers made all seven of their field-goal attempts and their only free throw try in taking an 18-4 lead. Culver did it against an unfamiliar lineup for Bremen (3-17), which started all four of its seniors on a night in which the school honored all of its senior winter athletes.Â
"Kyle was playing his seniors to start out the ballgame, which most coaches do on senior night," Elliott said. "We knew it was a little different lineup for them and thought we might be able to exploit it in catching them in a lineup they're not used to being in. But still, you have to put the ball in the hole and they did a nice job of that."
Jacob Box and Josh Brenneman combined for nine of Bremen's 11 points in the second quarter. The Lions were outscored by a basket in the period as Culver took a 31-15 halftime lead. Zoe Bauer led Culver with seven points in the first half, as five Cavaliers had at least three points.
A 3-pointer by Box and two baskets by Austin Huff trimmed Culver's lead to 34-22 early in the third quarter. It was one of four times in the second half Bremen pulled within 12, but Culver scored on the following possession each time to prevent a rally.
"That was big because Bremen just doesn't quit," Elliott said. "Our kids kept their poise and kept them from making a big run."
Bauer led Culver with 13 points, followed by Collin Stevens and Micah Budzinski with 11 apiece. Budzinski led all players with 10 rebounds, as Culver outrebounded Bremen 26-10 for the game.
"I wasn't disappointed with the effort, but I was really disappointed that we didn't block out," Hanyzewski said. "It's something we stress all the time but some of our guys just watched instead of putting a body on someone."
Box led Bremen with 11 points, followed by Brenneman with 10.
Culver will have to wait and see who it will play in Friday's sectional semifinal at Winamac. The foe is likely to be one-loss North Judson, which beat Culver 72-35 in the teams' Dec. 29 meeting.
"It looks like it'll be Judson and I like to think we're a lot better team than we showed on that particular night," Elliott said. "I like where we're sitting in that bye bracket because it gives us more time to prepare. We'll enjoy this one and then get focused on Monday for North Judson."
Bremen will face Fairfield in the Westview sectional semifinal round. Fairfield won the teams' Feb. 5 matchup, 58-43.
"That was a game we led at halftime and played well before going into a funk in the third quarter," Han-yzewski said. "What I want the kids to realize is we're just one upset away from playing for a championship. You can say what you will about our record, but anything can happen in one game, and that's the attitude we need to take in and see what happens."

Harriet "Harry" Dodge is a visual artist born in San Francisco, California in 1966, who now lives and works in Los Angeles. Dodge's solo work—which includes video, sculpture and drawing—as well as collaborative video work has been exhibited widely, including The 2008 Whitney Biennial, NY; Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, CT; The Getty Center, LA; Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, Lithuania; Hammer Museum, LA; Kunstalle Bonn, Bonn, Germany; Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY; Hessel Museum, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY; PS 1, Long Island City. Dodge's collaborative video work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the early '90s Dodge was one of the founders of the now-legendary San Francisco community-based performance space, The Bearded Lady, which served as a gathering point for a pioneering, polysexual, queer literary and arts scene.
Cornish College of the Arts and the Henry Art Gallery have formed a new partnership to present INCITE•INSIGHT, a series of public lectures and performances that promote engagement with contemporary art practice. Invited artists, curators, writers, and other critical thinkers will visit Seattle for short residencies during which they will interact with students through group conversation and studio visits. The series aims to emphasize and advance the long-standing and recognized commitment that Cornish and the Henry have to supporting significant dialogues around the social and cultural impact of art and the ideas of our time.
INCITE•INSIGHT is made possible with generous support from The Maybelle Clark MacDonald Fund, The Catherine Eaton Skinner and David Skinner Visiting Artist Fund, The Thelma Lehmann Endowed Fund, Wah and May Lui, Mike and Jennifer Sinanan, and Jaimy McCarthy and Jim England.
