Brandon Sanderson is an award-winning author renowned for the intricate and immersive worlds he creates, and for his highly detailed systems of magic. Recently, he has brought those talents to YA with the publication of his first teen novel, The Rithmatist.
Brandon kindly answered our questions AND sent us two signed copies of his book to give away! Leave your name and contact info in the comments to enter the draw (we won't publish your details). The answers below were transcribed from audio recorded for this interview.
Q: There were some very intriguing loose ends in this book, especially surrounding Joel; I feel as though there is much more to learn about his father and about Rithmatics in general. When can we expect to see the next Rithmatist novel?
A: I'm glad you enjoyed the book so much. I am working on a sequel. I've actually started the outline for it, but it's hard to promise when it will come out. Ideally I like to release books one year apart, which is what I'm shooting for, but I have to write the book first.
I'm going to take us to a new location for the second book and there's going to be lots of fun involved. Joel and Melody are going to train as a team where they'll have to learn to work together, and it won't be easy on either one of them.
Q: OK, as a (non-evil) librarian I have to ask this – what's with all the nasty librarians in your books? In Rithmatist we have Ms. Torrent, who is your stereotypical disapproving shushing type, and in the Alcatraz books, they're downright evil! Did these characters come from encounters with real-life awful librarians? I hope not!
A: I actually have quite an affection for librarians. I created the one in The Rithmatist simply because I needed to make that particular scene more interesting. I look for ways to create and enhance conflict as I write, and that scene needed to be harder for the characters.
The librarians in Alcatraz, of course, were all tongue-in-cheek. I wrote those books because I realized that if there really were a secret society that controlled the world, it would be because they controlled all the information. The idea of librarians secretly controlling the world just made me laugh. But there are plenty of good librarians in the Alcatraz books—okay, we've only seen one!—but there are more coming.
Q:. Apart from your own work, what books or authors would you recommend to a YA reader?
A: I've already mentioned a bunch of my favourites, but I could go on! I'm quite fond of Westerfeld's work. I think it's quite marvellous. I've read Terry Pratchett's teen books. If you've only read his adult work, you're really missing out. He is quite good. I've also enjoyed James Dashner's and Eva Ibbotson's books. I also recommend anything by Diana Wynne Jones.
I got into a lot of the YA classics in the late 90s, well after everyone else had been into them. Things like The Giver by Lois Lowry and Dragon's Blood by Jane Yolen. Jane Yolen has long been one of my favourite writers. There's just a lot of exciting things happening in YA, and I feel inspired by a lot of the works by those authors I've mentioned.
Interesting... looks very cool
Sanderson continues to inspire and motivate not just through his books, but also through the carefully thought out answers to interview questions. Having read almost every book he's published to date, I'm not ashamed to say that he is currently my favorite author.
it cool book i reda like 5 tiems
I always enjoy a good YA novel full of magic and adventures although I'm well past my teenage years.

Are good manners going the way of the Dodo bird? While most of us were raised to write thank-you notes promptly, it seems some of us haven't passed that bit of etiquette onto our kids.
Philip Galanes, New York Times columnist and author of the book, "Social Q's: How to Survive the Quirks, Quandaries and Quagmires of Today," discussed the disappearing thank-you card and other etiquette dilemmas facing parents on TODAY.
Galanes recounted the story of a grandmother of nine who wrote to him that she has never received a thank-you card for any of the birthday and Christmas presents she has given her grandchildren over the years. She was annoyed, but unsure how to demand a bit of gratitude – a predicament that offended Matt Lauer, father of three. "I think it's unacceptable that they don't write any thank you notes," Matt said.
Should children be forced to write thank-you notes?- http://www.today.com/moms/should-kids-be-forced-write-thank-you-notes-1B8057224 [2]
Where do you stand on the issue? Should children be told to write thank-you notes each time they receive a gift?

December 22, 2014
A bill that would provide care for fetuses born alive during abortions failed Thursday in a state Senate committee.
The bill failed 6-4 in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.
Republican Senator Rick Winkel of Champaign said the proposed bill mirrored federal policy. The state bill would have required medical professionals to give care to a fetus that is alive after an abortion procedure.
Winkel said it doesn't affect abortion law at all.
Mary Dixon of the American Civil Liberties Union said it puts doctors in an untenable position of trying to decide whether to provide extraordinary care to a fetus that might not live.
Committee Chairman Barack Obama of Chicago said the federal policy makes a state law unnecessary.
It was Senate Bill 11-82.

bah.i feel lame right now.not depressed lame.just...lame.so yes, i went thrift store shopping.i now have LOTS of fun purses.a fun new shirt which i cannot wear due to the excessive heat.a little change purse that is so great i want to scream every time i see it.and i also develped my black and white camera.pictures WILL be posted tomorrow.cheer up charlie.lalalalalala.i dont know the rest of the song.i need a surefire way to lose 10-15 pounds in 2 weeks.maybe 3 weeks.yes.i'm out yo.love you all.even the ones i do not know.*sunny my icon looks like yours, except mine isnt a picture of me.i got this a long ass time ago .love it.
i'm off to go see the matrix reloaded.i am not very excited but hey....whatever!i got hit on BIG TIME today at work.hazel told me that even if i end our friendship (which i am pretty sure i did )she will never leve me alone.i said "i bet thats not true," and she said "bet me."hahaha, so far, i'm winning the bet.sad sad sad world we live in eh?bye everyone.nancy, how come you hung up on me when you called me last night?i was like "hullo, hullo?"and you said "hullo?"and i said "what do you want?" (but not rude)and then....you hung up on me.not nice, not nice at all.ok, now i'm done, bye!
So, today was the season finale of friends....i'm a friends-a-holic. I swear it was the most satisfying hour of television ive ever watched. I know this sounds really stupid, but the episode was the olny good part of my whole day.I am no longer friends with hazel.I went to house after school and she was crying nonstop, i sat with her, we talked out her problems and i gave her lots of good advice. I am always around when she needs me, it never fails. I'm like her dog. Anyway, after she had calmed down she told me manny had said that he thought it wasnt fair that i wanted more time for hazel and myself. He said that he doesnt understand why i cant just leave them alone and let them be together. I dont understand? HE doesnt understand. Hazel doesnt even give me the time of day anymore, i'm NEVER with her, its not like i am always with them and i never let them alone.She said she knows that she has let our friendship slip through her fingers a bit but she will never let manny come fully between us.She lied.I told her i'm tired of being her shoulder to cry on, i would rather not be her friend at all than have her be my friend half-ass. I said i am going to change my seat in 6th period so i wont have to sit next to her and i am going to find a new spot at lunch and in the morning and after school. Want to know what she had to say about all of this?Nothing.She didnt protest, complain, say she'll do better....nothing...not a word.I told my mom, she said that once i get to college everything will change, i'll be the talk of the town. She doesnt get it. Nobody gets it. I am so used to being alone that it has become second nature. Having hazel, having someone who was ALWAYS around, even when i didnt want them around, really spoiled me. I forgot how it felt to be alone, how it felt to long for someone to share with. I have decided to just stick with this alone gig, i know how to be alone and cope with the nothingness that surrounds me better than i know how to cope with always having someone around who i might lose at any moment.I guess in a way this is a blessing and a punishment.A blessing because i was able to see how great having a friend who was more a sister than a friend feels.A punishment because i thought that being alone was old news, something that i would never go through again. I was being punished for being so foolish.I am sad right now, but i will get over it like i've gotten over every other close friendship ive had that has ended.I know she is better off without me as well, i'm a basket case...manny can solve all of her problems now.
i just washed my hair because it has been straight since prom and i HATE MY STUPID HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hate the cut, i hate the stupid highlights.........i'm crying, it is horrible and gross and now i am even more hideous than i was when my hair was normal.Somebody put me out of my misery.
I went to prom and danced ALL night, yes, you read correctly, i really did dance non-stop.The night started off so horrible, hazel whined to me all day about stupid things that were not importaint or interesting. The horrible whining mixed with the pitch of her horrible voice caused me to get a rather large headache. Anyway, i left durring 4th period so i would be able to get my hair, makeup, and nails done in time for the arrival of my date (ech)....i didnt time my appointments right. I finished my hair and got to my nail appontment 30 minutes late....then i got to my makeup appointment 1 hour late. I was SOOOOO behind!!!My mother and i jinxed hazel because on the way home we were like "hahaha, wouldnt it be funny if something horrible happened to hazel to make her just as late or later than you!!!" Yes, well less than 10 minutes later she calls my cell IN TEARS because the lady who did her hair made it look like there was a dead animal on her head. So yes, to make a long story semi-short we were all late about 1 hour, not too shabby!So we got to prom, took pictures, i took pictures alone, as a couple and as a group, then pretty much spent the rest of the night getting my grove on. You can not even BEGIN to imagine how i hot i looked dancing....or how hot i looked period! One of my friends said "i know i'm always playing around about hooking up with you, but tonight, i'm dead serious."One of my best guy friends (who is bi) told me that he has a crush on me and that i am the reason he wants to marry a woman and have a family some day.I just want to emphasize a bit more how nice i looked. I was walking behind hazel the whole time we were saying our hellos & everyone kept saying "oh haze, you look really pretty!" but noone was saying anything to me. Hahaha, noone recoginzed me but as soon as they did all hell broke loose. Everyone was screaming and hugging me and telling me i was hot, hazel didnt know what to say......she was SO jealous. It felt nice to be in the spotlight for once in my life. I really had the best time.The after party was somewhere in pasedena but my date is very sheltered (or just stupid) and he could not find the hotel for the life of him so we drove all the way back to jack in the box (in sylmar) and yeah...thats it. EVERYONE was in the stupid parking lot, i guess the deal was to meet there, leave some cars behind and all got o the after party together. Hazel and manny (no capitalization for his name because he is un-importiant) and i all just went to my house and we ate. It was so such a lame ending for a perfect night. I really wanted to go cosmic bowling or ice skating.Nancy my loooooooooooooooooooooooove came to visit me and caught me just as i was leaving with my date...what a lucky girl she is!!! I could talk much because my date was getting restless, asswipe.yes, this entry seems long enough for me...bye!
i just got back from prom, i'm sleepy and very satisfied (hence the satisfied mood thing).i'll wirte all about it when i have tons and tons and TONS of time.i had a ball.

HASC leaders at odds over TRICARE hike
The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said Thursday he will include language implementing the Defense Department's request to increase insurance fees for military retirees.

The National Science Foundation, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, Boeing And Iridium Successfully Demonstrate Space Weather Observation
LAUREL, Md., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), with help from The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) and Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM), has successfully implemented a new space-based system to monitor Earth's space environment. Known as the Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment (AMPERE), the system provides real-time magnetic field measurements using commercial satellites as part of a new observation network to forecast weather in space. This is the first step in developing a system that enables 24-hour tracking of Earth's response to supersonic blasts of plasma ejected from the sun at collection rates fast enough to one day enable forecasters to predict space weather effects.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100818/MM48643)"This milestone brings us one step closer to accurate space weather forecasts around the Earth," said APL's Dr. Brian J. Anderson, principal investigator and the scientist who spearheads the program. "Solar storms can disrupt satellite service and damage telecommunications networks, cause power grid blackouts and even endanger high-altitude aircraft. The next wave of solar storms will occur over the next three to five years and recent solar activity is just the beginning of a long, stormy space weather 'season.' The timing for AMPERE is just right because we need this system both to help us understand how solar storms disturb the space environment and to develop reliable monitoring and forecasts of major space weather storms." The Boeing engineering team and scientists at APL have proven that the program yields continuous, real-time measurements of the magnetic field over the entire Earth simultaneously with up to 100 times greater sampling density than previously possible.

Weight Loss Backpacking Adventure Vacations (Did you mean Fatpacking?)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The itinerary you see here may change. Even the
dates may change by a day or 2. In the interest of expediting information to you, we are
releasing this preliminary information to give you an idea of what to expect. We fully expect
details to be firm by the end of January 2013.
There are many ways to see the beautiful, ancient, historic land of Israel.
Fitpacking will take you on an unforgettable walking tour of the country.
From Nazareth to the Capernaum in the Galilee to Jerusalem and onto Masada and the Dead Sea in the Negev Desert
to the Red Sea resort village of Eilat.
You will see Israel as few do as you hike the
Jesus Trail
Israel National Trail.
Walk in the footsteps of Jesus and explore the seldom traveled desert backcountry of Israel.
Get away from your frigid climate, walk through history, and lose weight (or more
accurately, improve body composition).
The Israel Fitpacking Trip will be from December 29, 2013 - January 11, 2014.
See the
proposed itinerary
Fitpacking's Israel trip will have two parts. The first week will be a walk on the Jesus Trail proper from
Nazareth to Capernaum. There will be a day off
to explore Jerusalem and other areas on your own. Then we will head to the desert for a day at the Dead Sea and Masada.
Finally, we will backpack through the Negev desert and into the resort town of Eilat on the Dead Sea.
Weather is always an important concern when backpacking.
December weather
is pretty cool by Israeli standards -- the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit. But those are actually pretty good temperatures
for hiking since there is so much exertion involved.
However as weather is unpredictable, and this is the "rainy season" (such as it is) so be prepared for
rain, blazing heat or chilly nights from radiational cooling in the desert.
Steve Silberberg,
lives in Hull, MA and has many years of backpacking experience over a variety of terrains and guides most
Fitpacking trips. He is a SOLO certified Wilderness First Responder, Leave No Trace
Trainer, and Certified Food Handler.
2nd Guide TBD
Here is a
list of equipment
we suggest you bring.
The list is extensive and can seem daunting, but please don't let this deter you
from the trip. You can rent top notch quality gear for reasonable prices from
Traverse Outfitters,
Lower Gear or
Outdoors Geek.
It may also be possible for us to provide some gear for you at a nominal fee if you let us
know far ahead of the trip. Unfortunately, we're not in the gear business so the selection of
our available inventory is unpredictable. Please feel free to
discuss any gear with us before the trip.
We don't believe in austere eating regimens. Backpacking is a rigorous, rewarding
activity. You must feed your body in order for it perform. Your body will
dictate that you eat often, so it's important to have fuel to feed it. Please
check out the
sample menus.
This list is not
comprehensive and may be altered or augmented. If you want to bring personal
food, say a 5 pound chocolate cake, go for it. After carrying it over 50 miles through
the desert, your body will reject the empty calories and prefer nutritious food.
$2250 per person double occupancy. Here, double occupancy means that you will
share a hotel room with another trip participant. You will also be responsible
for transportation to and from Tel Aviv as well as personal
equipment and any restaurant meals.
Covered expenses include 5 nights in hostels, 12 days of trail meals, ground
transportation, permits, fees and awesome guides.
Fitpacking is on an ongoing quest to expand its selection of trip destinations. As such, this
is the very first time we are offering a trip
to Jesus Trail / Israel National Trail.
Even though they are seasoned backpackers, the guides for this trip may NOT have previously
backpacked these particular trails.
Many intrepid participants are excited by pioneering new routes, but others don't feel
as comfortable with this and may prefer a more established, predictable trip. Experience
guiding a certain destination can make things run smoother, but
do not underestimate the decades of backpacking experience that our guides possess which
permeate every other aspect of the trip in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

BOSTON (July 22, 2013) — In celebration of the 175th anniversary of the first American woman to address a legislative body, Simmons College will co-host "How Women Become Political." This forum will feature prominent women political leaders including: feminist activist and author Gloria Steinem; U.S. Congresswoman Elizabeth Warren; and Former Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey.
This free, public event, sponsored by the Grimke Event Committee, takes place Monday, Oct. 7 at the John Hancock Hall in Boston, from 6 to 8 p.m. Additional speakers include Former U.S. Ambassador to Austria Swanee Hunt and Boston City Councilor At Large Ayanna Pressley. For more information, visit www.womenbecomepolitical.org. You can follow the conversation live on Twitter at @SimmonsCollege and #WomenPoli2013.
"Simmons is proud to be a part of this historically significant event," said Simmons College President Helen Drinan. "Politics is an important way for women to extend their leadership, and Simmons College has a longstanding commitment to women's education, leadership, and success."
"Our goal is to inspire women of all ages, political beliefs, and diverse backgrounds to engage more deeply with politics," said Louise W. Knight, author and Chair of the Grimke Event Committee.
In 1838, Angelina Grimke became the first American woman to address a legislative body when she testified before the Joint Special Committee of the Massachusetts State Legislature on the subject of slavery. During a packed meeting, Grimke argued for the right of women to address legislators, marking a historic moment in the women's rights movement.
The Grimke Event Committee is comprised of leaders from academia, government, corporate, and nonprofit management. They include: Ann W. Caldwell, president emerita of the MGH Institute of Health Professions and author of the forthcoming biography of Catherine Filene Shouse; Judith Kidd, a longtime philanthropist and community volunteer; Megan Marshall, author of The Peabody Sisters and a biography of Margaret Fuller; Marie A. Turley, executive director, City of Boston Women's Commission; Diane Hammer, director of the Simmons Institute for Leadership and Change; and Louise Knight, author of Citizen, and a forthcoming biography of Angelina and Sarah Grimke.
Other event sponsors include Political Parity; Ambassador Swanee Hunt; Elizabeth Driehaus from the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation; the Ms. Foundation; and the Barbara Lee Foundation.
Founded in 1899, Simmons College (simmons.edu) is a nationally recognized university located in Boston with a history of visionary thinking and social responsibility.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae Find Big Reasons to Rally
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Go figure!
A couple of government-sponsored penny stocks are soaring on explosive volume as the resurrection of the mortgage market continues. Today's reassuring words from the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee seemed to help fuel the frenzy in these two almost forgotten publicly traded pariahs.
The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), commonly called Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FMCC), known as Freddie Mac, are alive and kicking in spite of the role they played in the mortgage industry debacle of 2008.
My fellow TheStreet contributor Philip van Doorn has been keeping us posted on the incredible rally of these two government-sponsored enterprises, or GSE. The plot thickens with every passing hour.Around the same time Fed Chairman Bernanke gave his press conference after Wednesday's FOMC meeting, the news broke that Freddie Mac has filed suit against 15 big international banks (including three of the biggest in the U.S.), accusing them of manipulating the Libor interest rate and causing massive losses for the GSE. The Libor, or London interbank offered rate, provides the basis for trillions of dollars in global financial instruments including mortgages, bonds and consumer loans. In a report Wednesday we learned the unsavory details. The report states: "In a growing scandal, two big British banks and Switzerland's largest have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for manipulating Libor by U.S. and British regulators. A U.S. watchdog has found that Freddie and its larger sibling Fannie Mae together may have lost more than $3 billion on their investments from banks' rate-rigging." This seems somewhat ironic and $3 billion sounds like small change when we remember that American taxpayers have up to now paid about $170 billion to rescue Freddie and Fannie, which suffered huge losses from profligate mortgage practices. Both FNMA and FMCC were rescued by the U.S. government in September 2008 as one of the worst financial crises in modern history exploded on the scene. The two mortgage companies may be "penny stocks" but they are big players in the world of mortgages and financing house purchases.

Vote to End Police Training at U of I Could Come in May
University of Illinois Trustees are expected to vote as soon as next month to close the Police Training Institute on the Urbana campus.
U of I spokeswoman Robin Kaler confirms that vote could happen at the Trustees' May 31st meeting in Chicago.
She says funding sources have run dry, and legislators have had no success finding a new one.
Illinois House member Chapin Rose of Mahomet, Champaign Democratic Senator Mike Frerichs, and Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing are among those who have been seeking a funding solution to keep PTI open.
Kaler says without the funds, the state's Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board will refuse to certify the courses.
"So without a funding source, or the ability to have our courses certified, it's really appropriate at this point to announce the closure," she said.
But Prussing cites another reason.
"The head (executive director) of the standards board, Kevin McClain, wants to open an academy that he can be in charge of at Western Illinois University," she said. "And Western (its facility) can't open as long as the University of Illinois (PTI) is open because the students will go to the U of I because they like it better and it's much more accessible."
Prussing, a member of the Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, says it makes no sense given Illinois' financial woes and the fact some cities can't afford to hire police officers.
She notes that two recent PTI courses, including one with 55 applicants, were cancelled as part of McClain's efforts to 'undermine' the U of I.
McClain didn't return a phone call seeking comment.

Fri, Feb 12, 2010
In September 1910, Blanche Stuart Scott became the first
American woman to pilot an airplane. On Saturday, March 13,
2010 the International Women's Air & Space Museum in Cleveland
will celebrate her achievements and 100 years of American women in
flight with the museum's fifth annual free family day. The event
will take place from 1000 - 1600. For those of you who might be
able to attend, parking is available in the Burke
Lakefront Airport terminal municipal parking lot.
The museum will be celebrating Women's History Month throughout
the day with the help of several area organizations. Free
activities will be provided by NASA, the Children's Museum of
Cleveland, and the USO. The museum will be giving visitors a sneak
peek at its new Aviation Education Center, scheduled to open later
this spring with hands-on aviation activities.
Also scheduled that day is a demonstration by the Cleveland
Hopkins International Airport Aircraft Rescue & Firefighters,
planetarium shows, and a military encampment with an exhibit on
women in the armed forces. The museum is partnering with the
USO to offer visitors an opportunity to make cards for troops
overseas throughout the day. Students from Beaumont School
will be on hand with activities and to perform as famous women in
aviation, including Blanche Stuart Scott. Families and youth groups
are encouraged to attend this free special event.
The public celebration of women's history in this country began
in 1978 as "Women's History Week" in Sonoma County, California. The
week including March 8, International Women's Day, was selected. In
1981, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)
co-sponsored a joint Congressional resolution proclaiming a
national Women's History Week. In 1987, Congress expanded the
celebration to a month, and March was declared Women's History

Toyota picks up speed despite China hit
Tuesday 06 November 2012
Toyota has bumped up its profit expectations for the year to £6bn, despite its sales in China, the world's biggest car market, withering away due to a domestic boycott of Japanese cars as part of a territorial dispute.
Last month Toyota's sales in China plunged 44 per cent as locals stopped buying goods from Japanese companies after Tokyo nationalised two disputed East China Sea islands.
But strong sales elsewhere meant Toyota tripled its profit in the three months to September to ¥257bn (£2bn), up from ¥80.4bn a year earlier.

National Lampoon's Vacation, sometimes referred to as Vacation, is a 1983 Technicolor comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid, Dana Barron, and Anthony Michael Hall. John Candy, Imogene Coca, Christie Brinkley, and Jane Krakowski appear in supporting roles.
The screenplay was written by John Hughes, based on his short story "Vacation '58" which appeared in National Lampoon. The original story is a fictionalized account of his own family's ill-fated trip to Disneyland when Hughes was a boy. The success of the film helped advance his screenwriting career.
The film was a box-office hit, earning more than $61 million in the US with an estimated budget of $15 million, and received widespread acclaim from critics. In 2000, readers of Total Film voted it the 46th greatest comedy film of all time. It is widely considered to be the best film in the Vacation series, and continues to be a cult film and a staple on cable television. As of August 8, 2014[update], the film has received a 95% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[1]
Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), wanting to spend more time with his wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo) and children Rusty (Anthony Michael Hall) and Audrey (Dana Barron), decides to lead the family on a cross-country expedition from the Chicago area to the Los Angeles amusement park Walley World, billed as "America's Favorite Family Fun Park". Ellen wants to fly, but Clark insists on driving, so he can bond with his family. In preparation, he has ordered a new "sports wagon" for the trip, but the dealer (Eugene Levy) claims the sports wagon will not be ready for six weeks. Clark is forced to accept a Wagon Queen Family Truckster, an outsized station wagon.
As the family travels, they run into numerous mishaps, such as being tagged by vandals in a rundown area of St. Louis, while Clark is tempted numerous times by an attractive young woman (Christie Brinkley) driving a flashy red Ferrari 308 GTS. They stop in Kansas to visit Ellen's cousin Catherine (Miriam Flynn) and her husband Eddie (Randy Quaid), who foist Aunt Edna (Imogene Coca) and her mean dog Dinky on the Griswolds, asking them to drop her off at her son Normy's home in Phoenix. After stopping at a decrepit and dirty campground in Colorado for the night, Clark forgets to untie Dinky from the bumper before leaving, killing the dog.
While Ellen and Clark argue, they become stranded in the desert, and Clark eventually finds a mechanic who scams him out of the rest of his cash to fix the car. Frustrated, they stop at the Grand Canyon; when Clark cannot convince a hotel clerk to take a check, he takes cash from the cash register and leaves the check. Leaving the Canyon, they find that Aunt Edna has died in her sleep. They tie Edna's corpse to the roof of the car, wrapped in a tarp. When they reach Normy's home, they discover he is out of town, and leave Edna's body in the back yard. Clark eventually hooks up with the Ferrari lady at a motel swimming pool and goes skinny dipping with her, but they are discovered by the family before anything can happen. Clark is eventually forgiven.
Despite all the events and the begging of Ellen and the kids, Clark is more determined to get to Walley World. They finally arrive the next day to find the park closed for repairs. Clark, slipping into madness and realizing that all his efforts have been for nothing, buys a realistic-looking BB gun pistol and demands a park security guard named Russ Lasky (John Candy) take them through the park at gunpoint; Ellen and kids follow him, attempting to placate their husband and father. Eventually a SWAT team arrives, along with park owner Roy Walley (Eddie Bracken). Roy understands Clark's impassioned epitome of the American Vacation, bringing back memories of his own childhood years ago. He does not file charges against the Griswolds and lets the family and the SWAT team enjoy the park as his guests.
The ending credits show various pictures of the Griswold's vacation as well as the fact that, unsurprisingly, they decided to fly home.

Walley World[edit]
In John Hughes' original short story, the theme park was Disneyland. Because of this, all of the names were altered to soundalikes.[2] Walt Disney's Disneyland became Walley World, itself a good-natured parody of the Anaheim location. The name of the mascot, Marty Moose, is reminiscent of Disney's Mickey Mouse.
Wagon Queen Family Truckster[edit]
The Wagon Queen Family Truckster station wagon was created specifically for the film. The Truckster is based on a 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon and heavily modified.[3] The car was designed by George Barris, and lampooned American cars of the late 1970s. The Truckster features a pea green paint scheme; fake wood paneling; eight headlights, four on each side in a rectangular cluster (taken from another Crown Victoria/Country Squire, but inverted); a grille area largely covered by bodywork having only two small openings close to the bumper.[4]
The film's music was composed by Ralph Burns, featuring original songs by Lindsey Buckingham. A soundtrack album was released in 1983. While it did not chart, Buckingham's single "Holiday Road" reached number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- "Holiday Road" – Lindsey Buckingham
- "Mister Blue" – The Fleetwoods
- "Blitzkrieg Bop" – Ramones
- "Deep River Blues" – Ralph Burns
- "Summer Hearts" – Nicolette Larson
- "Little Boy Sweet" – June Pointer
- "The Trip (Theme from Vacation)" – Ralph Burns
- "He's So Dull" – Vanity 6
- "Christie's Song" – Ralph Burns
- "Dancin' Across the USA" – Lindsey Buckingham
National Lampoon's Vacation spawned a number of sequels:
- National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985)
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
- Vegas Vacation (1997)
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure (2003)
- Hotel Hell Vacation (2010)
- Vacation (2015)
With the exception of Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure, each sequel saw Chase and D'Angelo reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold, enduring their unique and unenviable brand of vacation misadventure in various locales. However, the children Rusty and Audrey are played by a different set of actors in each film (except for Audrey in the last sequel). In July 2013, Barron explained that because Hall was committed to shooting Weird Science, European Vacation Director Amy Heckerling requested both Griswold children be recast.[5] This fact is joked about early in Vegas Vacation: when we first see the kids again, Clark tells them that he "hardly recognizes" them anymore. The various actors were Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron in Vacation, Jason Lively and Dana Hill in European Vacation, Johnny Galecki and Juliette Lewis in Christmas Vacation, and Ethan Embry and Marisol Nichols in Vegas Vacation. Barron again plays Audrey in Christmas Vacation 2, but Rusty, like his parents, could not make it for Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure, an NBC TV movie. However, Flynn and Quaid reprise their roles as cousins Catherine and Eddie, as they did in each film aside from European Vacation. Christie Brinkley reprised her role as The girl in the red Ferrari in Vegas Vacation[6] and later spoofed it in a 2008 DirecTV commercial inter-spliced with footage from Vacation, recreating the famous swimming pool scene.[7]
Each sequel also manages to reference Walley World in some way.
In July 2012, it was announced that Ed Helms of The Hangover fame would star as an adult Rusty Griswold in the upcoming film, simply titled Vacation. This new film follows Rusty, who now has his own family, on their own misadventures as they travel cross-country to Walley World, which will be closing forever. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein will write and direct the film. [8] The remake was postponed indefinitely due to creative differences.[9] Filming eventually began in October 2014 and Helms posted a photo of him with Chase and D'Angelo, confirming the two original stars will reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold. Cousin Eddie, a mainstay of the first five films, isn't expected to appear in the film due to Randy Quaid having lived in Canada under refugee status since 2010.[10] The film is expected to be released on October 9, 2015.

About Teaching the Guiding Principle
Humans can adapt to climate change by reducing their vulnerability to its impacts. Actions such as moving to higher ground to avoid rising sea levels, planting new crops that will thrive under new climate conditions, or using new building technologies represent adaptation strategies. Adaptation often requires financial investment in new or enhanced research, technology, and infrastructure.

About Teaching the Guiding Principle
Actions taken by individuals, communities, states, and countries all influence climate. Practices and policies followed in homes, schools, businesses, and governments can affect climate. Climate-related decisions made by one generation can provide opportunities as well as limit the range of possibilities open to the next generation. Steps toward reducing the impact of climate change may influence the present generation by providing other benefits such as improved public health infrastructure and sustainable built environments.

Teaching Tips
- While regionally focused, the video can help set the stage of discussing adaptation to climate change, which is often a topic avoided in climate discussions.
- Discuss with students the difference between adaptation and mitigation and ask for examples of each.
About the Science
- Wisconsin-specific impacts of climate change are outlined, but the general points about adapting and preparing for change are available elsewhere.
- Adaptation and mitigation strategies are presented in this short cartoon animation.
- Comments from expert scientist: This video is well done. The imagery is attractive and interesting, while the narration is clear and direct. Examples are well placed and strengthen the presentation. Adaptation and mitigation are commonly overlooked aspects of climate change. This video does an excellent job explaining the important role of these strategies, allowing students to realize their personal role in future climate change. The video portrays both adaptation and mitigation strategies as something that can be decided upon and implemented quickly and cheaply. This is not the case.

In the old days, designers began their designs by sketching in order to explore different form factors, following the old adage "form follows function." Twenty years ago, frog founder Hartmut Esslinger made a ground breaking statement "Form follows emotion" to explain the complicated relationship a design has with its consumers. Nowadays, designers no longer focus solely on the object itself. A beautiful design can no longer win the hearts of customers. Instead, human insights are at the core of the innovation process. Design researchers with experience rooted in sociology, psychology, and anthropology are the unique talents who uncover the needs from customers and identify the design opportunities to address those needs.
