I've always been interested in WWII in general, and I've read a lot of WWII history. The secret history of Switzerland during the war is mind blowing. It's such a fascinating and strange country—there really is this national preoccupation with secrecy at all levels. And I've always been interested in art…So the history of Nazi art looting, and of how all these paintings and other works of art made their way into Switzerland, was a natural. It's just something that I've always found engrossing, and at some point it became clear that it would make excellent material for a thriller.
Q. You quote Jean Ziegler's The Swiss, the Gold, and the Dead at the beginning of this book. Was that book, which was about looted gold, not art, of course, in any way an inspiration for this one? Did you read any of the other books about Swiss banks and Nazi gold that came out around the same time?
I decided on this topic—looted art—first, and the Swiss connection came second. Yes, I think it was Nazi art first, Switzerland second. But Ziegler's book was just such a lyrical and wonderfully scathing exposé, and I found it very illuminating. I thought it was tremendously courageous—he's Swiss himself, you know, and that kind of self examination is so frowned upon there.
I did read all those books that came out, that whole crop of titles; Hitler's Silent Partners is another that comes immediately to mind. But to actually answer your question, no, that book didn't really inspire the story of The English Assassin. It was very helpful and enlightening, though.
Q. What other sorts of research went into writing The English Assassin?
I read a number of books on Nazi art looting, of which there are quite a few. I also read up on the Swiss banking system—just enough, really. This isn't a novel on Swiss banking, but I did have to learn enough about it to set a book in Zurich. I also read a good deal of general Swiss history, and more WWII history. Then set it all aside and tried to write an interesting story that conveyed some of the ideas I had knocking around in my head.
Beyond the reading, I did quite a lot of site research. Grueling and demanding stuff, travelling all over Europe with my family…
Q. What was the most shocking thing you discovered in your research?Everyone had talked about the gold laundering; about how the Swiss turned the Nazi gold into hard currency. But what I found most shocking, I think, and what I wrote about, was this idea that Swiss art dealers, and regular citizens, too—and not just Swiss I should say—capitalized on the extermination of a people in a way that is somehow unfathomable.
That someone's property was seized in Paris or Amsterdam, spirited away out from under them even as they themselves were shipped off to a death camp, and that there were people there to receive it and caress it and hang it on their walls…You know, you can wrap your hands around the idea that Nazi Germany committed such horrific crimes against the Jews and others. It's this huge and terrible and inescapable fact of human history. But somehow the idea that there were all these other people there to profit from it, people all over Europe and through all levels of society who weren't in any official way connected to Hitler's planned genocide—that is in a way even more inconceivable to me.
And I'll tell you: it's my belief that there's a lot of art that disappeared during the war that's still in Switzerland.
Q. This is his second appearance of Gabriel Allon, after The Kill Artist—will there be more? What was the genesis of the character?
A bolt of lightning really. I had decided on the topic of the fourth book—targeted killings, as the Israeli's like to say. One evening my wife and I happened to have dinner with a friend of ours who was an art restorer, and I said hold it: a spy, a killer, an art restorer…one half a destroyer, one half a healer. This is a great character. This guy has real internal conflict.
I created him for The Kill Artist and then just couldn't put him aside. He was a perfect fit for this book, clearly, with art being an essential element of the story. He'll be in the next book, too—I'm not done with Gabriel yet.
Q. This novel has some major preoccupations: history, art, music. You already talked about history; are these other things personal preoccupations of yours as well?
Yes, very much so. It's a great thing to have to explore them so thoroughly for my work. Thankfully I can reach out and touch friends who know a lot more about these things than I do. A woman named Sadie DeWall was my music consultant for this book, for instance, and she helped me a lot in understanding the character Anna Rolfe, who is a world class violinist. I play some music, but I'm not a real musician—to be able to hear what it feels like to make music like that, and also to get some insight into the weird personality quirks that go along with that kind of genius, was such a pleasure, and so indispensable. I like telling stories, thrillers that don't necessarily have traditional thriller–esque characters. You have the assassin here, of course, and the spy; but you also have an art restorer and an art dealer and a musician—it's fun this way. Fun for me, and hopefully for the reader.
Q. Has the rise in the global visibility of terrorism become material for you? Has any of what's been happening in Afghanistan and the Middle East changed your perspective on your writing or informed it in any way?
Not really, I'd have to say. I had one book on that subject I wanted to write, that dealt tangentially with a Bin Laden–like character, who plots to assassinate the president. It slipped way down on my list as something I'm interested in doing.
Writing about that in a fictitious sense is not really something I want to do. I'm deeply upset by what happened, and it wouldn't be fun for me to write about it, and I don't think it would necessarily be so fun to read about it, either. We hear more about Al Qaeda and terrorism and war right now than we ever wanted to, know more about it now in a very real sense than we ever wanted to know, and I don't think I need to take it on as a subject.
The idea behind my books is to escape, and to write now about that sort of thing would not be escapism. I have plenty of ideas; plenty of topics lined up that I want to write about, I think I can leave terrorism alone.
Q. This story has a lot to do with redemption and retribution. Would you say these are important themes in your writing in general? What else might be?
Not so much in my writing in general, but very much so in this book. This one could almost be titled the Day of Atonement or something like that. Redemption, retribution, forgiveness—these things make up the spine of the novel, and everything in the story revolves around that. I tried to make sure that all scenes play to these themes in some way. Something happened to Gabriel in the previous book that he has never been able to stop blaming himself for. At the end of this book, he's able to forgive himself.
So yes, these themes were something I thought about a lot during the writing of this book. On a personal level on a larger scale as well, with Switzerland as a whole. Some of the most damning stuff about Switzerland's war record has just come out recently—that they let their railroad lines be used to export the Italian Jews, for instance. I think you can't start healing a wrong until you admit and accept a wrong. That was in part what this was all about.
Q. You have a great facility for keeping a story moving. Was there any writer in particular that you feel you've learned the most from, as far as plotting and pacing go?
No not really. I think I'm influenced by a wide range of writers, but pacing is something I picked up more from working as a journalist. I don't try to write in a fast pace, overheating every scene, or to write tiny little sentences or use other devices to make the reader read faster. I'm not terribly verbose, and I write fairly carefully; but mainly I think it's that I have a strong internal clock about when something has gone on too long. I'm not a writer that thinks every chapter has to be three pages long, though. Hitting the right pace is easy when you know the story you want to tell.
Q. Did you like spy novels as a kid? Did you always want to be this kind of writer?
Probably I did, yeah. I did love thrillers and espionage. I grew up in a very small town in California, and as I look back on it now I can see that it was a pretty nice, enchanted kind of place to grow up. But it was deeply boring to me. Thrillers were pure escapism for me as a kid. And they're still escapism for me now, though now I get to write them as well as read them. Lucky me!
Some of my favorite writers growing up were guys like Eric Ambler, Jack Higgins, and John le Carré. The locales, the characters they had—it's really what I liked to read then and it's the kind of stuff I like to write now.
Q. What's coming up next? What's the new Gabriel Allon book you're working on now?
Sort of in the same vein as this one but he gets mixed up in the Vatican. But let me get a little deeper into it before I start talking about it.

Free Convection in a Porous Medium
Application ID: 278
This example treats the modeling of sub-surface flow where free convection in porous media is analyzed. The results are compared with published literature in the field.
The model couples the momentum balance to an energy balance through an equation, dependent on temperature, being directly typed into the source term for the momentum balance. This shows COMSOL Multiphysics' unique equation-based modeling abilities and can be considered as a benchmark model for COMSOL Multiphysics capabilities in single-phase porous media flow.

Moms Mean Business.
by Vicki Larson
I always thought I had a pretty nice relationship with my mom. Oh, sure, she can drive me crazy with her advice, her worrying, the newspaper clippings she mails me almost weekly with sentences or paragraphs underlined in red and decorated with exclamation points.
Still, I call her every week — actually, I call my parents weekly, but if my dad happens to pick up, he immediately says, "I'll get your mother," even if I'm in the middle of saying. "Hi, Dad, how are you?" I'm 53 years old, and I still don't really know how my dad is doing; I'm guessing I never will.
While my mom and I have a relatively nice adult child-parent relationship, it's nowhere near the one, say Beyonce Knowles has with her mom, Tina; they've actually gone into business together with their House of Deréon clothing line, as have fashion icon Betsey Johnson and daughter Lulu and thousands of other mompreneurs across the country.
Forget about father-son businesses; although that's the model still ingrained in the American psyche. Mother-daughter businesses are the new black. I have no idea how they do it; honestly, most women I know have such complicated relationships with their mothers without having to worry about ordering, restocking and bookkeeping, it's a miracle they still talk at all.
But it seems sort of romantic to go into business with someone you love and know so well; who better than a mother, father, sibling or husband to work with? Whenever a big-box chain store threatens to move in to our neighborhood, we tend to rally around the tiny mom-and-pop store that we've been shopping at for years. We love mom-and-pop- run businesses — they make up more than 80 percent of the nation's companies. And although we often see them through rose-colored glasses as the cozy diner on Main Street or the quaint B&B somewhere in Maine, many are Fortune 500 corporations.
That's all well and good, but I wonder — how the heck can an intimate relationship handle all that stress? Because, it is stressful.
I know, because I did it.
Years ago, when I was still under the tie-dyed influence of the 1970s, I dropped out of college, followed my boyfriend out to Colorado and then took on a bunch of grunt jobs to keep us afloat — barely — while he was in college. I don't recall what he declared as a major, but he sure took a lot of PE classes.
Eventually, I landed a job at a small pizza and ice cream restaurant owned by two 30-something guys. I adored them and their families, they adored me, and before long, they made me manager. I loved being in charge, loved creating new items for the menu, loved our customers. By that time, by boyfriend-turned-new husband — we married on a trail in the Rockies, me in my cowboy boots and feather and beaded dress, he in the overalls I'd embroidered daisies on — had dropped out of college, too, and needed a job.
"Come work with me," I said. "It will be fun."
So he did.
It was not fun.
They say that business and family never mix well. I think it all depends on the type of people you are and the relationships you have with them. It could be wonderful, and on the other hand it could be a disaster.
The main issue I think that could turn it all sour is the finance.

There's a sizzle in the air these days. Steakhouses are stealing the spotlight with fired-up earnings reports, expansions and hot new menu items that are stoking consumer appetites. They're even taking over reality television as chefs compete on the current season of Gordon Ramsay's "Hell's Kitchen" to win the head chef position at BLT Steak.
This is welcome news, because over the last three years steakhouses were getting burned. In 2008 and 2009, beef sales as a whole were down in both restaurants and grocery stores. Despite this dip, the average American still ate almost 60 pounds of beef in 2008, according to the industry newsletter Cattle-Fax, while statistics tabulated by Technomic show that commercial restaurant operators still bought 5.4 billion pounds of beef that year. "People have been loyal to their protein purchases," says Russell Woodward, senior manager for product marketing at the Texas Beef Council. Though beef took a hit overall, it remained the top selling protein in restaurants, according to a study by Technomic.

The University of Southern Mississippi's athletic department owes the university more than $1.2 million for deficits it ran in three of the past four fiscal years.
The Hattiesburg American reports that the department predicts a shortfall of at least $1 million for 2012-13.
But interim Southern Miss President Aubrey Lucas said measures taken by the university and the athletic department whittled about $800,000 from the projected debt in 2011-12. He says steps are in the works to end the red ink. Those include scheduling road games for large, guaranteed paychecks.
State College Board policy forbids universities to finish a fiscal year in the red.
Lucas says audits had forecast a $1.2 million deficit for the 2011-12 fiscal year, but USM pared that down to less than $400,000.

Born on Nov. 4, 1879 in Indian Territory, OK, Rogers was raised on his family's Dog Iron Ranch near present day Oologah, OK, by his father, Clement, a former Confederate veteran and judge, and his mother, Mary. Both his parents were part Cherokee, making Rogers about a quarter Native American. The youngest of eight children, the easygoing Rogers often clashed with his hard-driving father, a rift that was exacerbated after the death of his mother in 1890. A self-admittedly poor student, he dropped out of school in the 10th grade and set out for adventure in 1901 by seeking his fortune as a gaucho in Argentina. But after a few months, Rogers lost all his money and set sail for South Africa, wh... Continue Bio >>

Valley Forge FAQs
Considering the conditions at Valley Forge, how were the soldiers able to sustain their morale?
Q.Considering the conditions at Valley Forge, how were the soldiers able to sustain their morale?
Kim Maxwell, Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada
A.There is a misconception about Valley Forge that it was the worst winter during the American War for Independence. This is not so. There were actually two separate winters where the weather was much worse and thus conditions, harsher. The was certainly suffering at Valley Forge: lots of it! It was not a pleasant winter by any means. Valley Forge was still very unique — immediately and for what it has become today. The concentration of men at Valley Forge was significant. 11 of the 13 colonies had troops stationed at these winter quarters, AND all thirteen colonies were represented by men in some form or another.
The army arriving at Valley Forge on December 19, 1777 straggled in ... they had some structure to their forces, but these organizational units varied widely — physically and theoretically. The structure included officers and a hierarchy, BUT many of these in charge had very little experience or knowledge regarding their responsibilities and duties in that capacity. Training was sporadic and fragmentary; there was a high turnover rate in personnel due to short term enlistments (as well as deserters, casualties, and illness); and military law was primarily punishment ... so, in turn, the army was not actually an ARMY.
In contrast, the ARMY leaving Valley Forge six months later was named an ARMY rightly so. There were several reasons: One was von Steuben. He had the ability, training and the authority to begin a comprehensive training — reorganization — standardization of the Continental Army. Because the men were on "hiatus" they had the time and focus to concentrate on becoming an army.
Credit certainly goes to the Commander-in-Chief as well. General Washington had to deal with the Conway Cabal at Valley Forge — a test of his authority. The officers and men had faith in Washington's leadership.
The suffering at Valley Forge actually had more to do with indifference, graft and speculation as well as American mismanagement. But with all the suffering and hardship, death and disease, the men of Valley Forge left their winter quarters and marched into Monmouth demonstrating the tactical expertise learned during the winter.
A couple of statements of men who were at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778:
Ebenezer Wild: "We had no tents, no axes to cut wood and make fires. It was a very bad snow storm when we stopped."
Gouverneur Morris (on a commission to examine the camp for the Committee of Conference): "An Army of skeletons appeared before our eyes, naked, starved, sick, discouraged"
The Marquis de Lafayette admired their fortitude: "The patient endurance of both soldiers and officers was a miracle which each moment served to renew."
Surgeon Albigence Waldo from Connecticut said of the Continental Soldier: "With what cheerfulness he meets his foes and encounters every hardship — if barefoot — he labours through the mud and cold with a song in his mouth extolling war and Washington — if his food be bad — he eats it notwithstanding with seeming content, blesses God for a good stomach, and whistles it into indigestion."
General Washington grieved to see his men "without clothes to cover their nakedness, without blankets to lie on, without shoes, by which their marches might be traced from blood of their feet..." He said that it is "a mark of patience which, in my opinion, can scarce be paralleled ... naked and starving as they are, we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiers..." (Note that "nakedness" in the 18th century meant a proper lack of clothing, not particularly the meaning we think of it today!)

Haven't used this yet
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
A more detailed review to come though. I picked this wheel up in the 15mm thru axle to mate up with an upgraded fork. Once the spring/summer gets here I will rock the bike and give some details.
And Another Spoke Gone
Confirming my previous Two Star Rating, I popped another spoke yesterday, my first day in Garmisch of a four day trip to be followed by four days in the Black Forest. Truly bummed that I can't find a bike shop with a replacement spoke (went to five today) both breaks have been on the rear wheel on the cassette side.
I guess I'll have to spend my time riding / wobbling on roads, certain I won't ever get another set of Easton Wheels though.
Good, but flexy in the front QR version
I picked up a set of these, and then replaced the front when I bought a new fork. My original pair were both QRs, and the new one is a 15 thru-axle. Riding QR wheels is nothing new for me, and the front wheel of this set is decidedly flexy in the QR model. The 15mm thru-axle helped immensely. The 15mm is nearly as stiff as my old wheels with XT hubs and straight gauge spokes. They're pretty easy to set up tubeless, and reasonably light, and I haven't had to true them yet.
Easton EA70 XC
Using this as the front wheel on a 69er. So far so good rolls over rough terrain with ease. Bearings seem to be solid !! Two thumbs up!
Fast and Flexy
So far so good, haven't had to true them yet and the bearings spin forever. They are fairly flexly tho, but pretty much all 29ers are...
Popped a Spoke Already
Sixth ride and one of the "Acoustic Wheel Tuned" double-butted, straight pull spokes popped off at the (dare I say it?) nipple.
A bit disapointing butt at least when I checked the damage to the hub and cogs I hadn't rectum... Possibly a fluke....
Wheels came with a King Kahuna so the price was extremely good.
Very simple question. Which wheels are...
Very simple question. Which wheels are simple QR wheels?...Ive noticed this on a lot of sites that have the Easton. I realize one may by thru axle but which one is just regular QR?
If you look in the dropdown you will see 9x100 front and 10x135 rear. These are the traditional "QR" style wheels. The 15mm front is a thru axle. Hope that helps.

At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
To diagnose your condition, your doctor may make an evaluation based on your signs and symptoms, an examination, and tests. Your doctor may refer you to a sleep specialist in a sleep center for further evaluation.
You'll have a physical examination, and your doctor will examine the back of your throat, mouth and nose for extra tissue or abnormalities. Your doctor may measure your neck and waist circumference and check your blood pressure.
A sleep specialist may conduct additional evaluations to diagnose your condition, determine the severity of your condition and plan your treatment. The evaluation may involve overnight monitoring of your breathing and other body functions as you sleep. Tests to detect obstructive sleep apnea include:
Polysomnography. During this sleep study, you're hooked up to equipment that monitors your heart, lung and brain activity, breathing patterns, arm and leg movements, and blood oxygen levels while you sleep. You may have a full-night study, in which you're monitored all night, or a split-night sleep study.
In a split-night sleep study, you'll be monitored during the first half of the night. If you're diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, staff may wake you and give you continuous positive airway pressure for the second half of the night.
This test can help your doctor diagnose obstructive sleep apnea and adjust positive airway pressure therapy, if appropriate. This sleep study can also help rule out other sleep disorders, such as periodic limb movements of sleep or narcolepsy, which also can cause excessive daytime sleepiness, but require different treatment.
Oximetry. This test monitors and records your blood oxygen level while you're asleep and can be used a screening test for obstructive sleep apnea. If you have obstructive sleep apnea, the results of this test will often show drops in your blood oxygen level during apneas and subsequent rises with awakenings.
If the study reveals temporary drops in oxygen compatible with obstructive sleep apnea, a polysomnogram may follow to formally diagnose obstructive sleep apnea and determine appropriate therapy.
Your doctor also may refer you to an ear, nose and throat doctor to rule out any anatomic blockage in your nose or throat.

Freshman Carlos Rodon captured the ACC's Pitcher of the Year and Freshman of the Year awards, and joined fellow Wolfpackers Chris Diaz, Ryan Mathews, and Trea Turner on the 2012 All-ACC Team, announced Monday by the conference office.
Rodon led the ACC with a blistering 1.59 ERA and a perfect 9-0 record. The freshman ranks second in the league with 114 strikeouts over 96 innings, and leads the ACC in complete games with two. He represents the only freshman remaining on the lists for the Dick Howser Trophy and the Golden Spikes Award.
The Holly Springs, N.C. native marks the first Wolfpack player named ACC Freshman of the Year since Tom Sergio in 1994 (then Rookie of the Year). The last NC State pitcher to earn an ACC yearly award was Mike Caldwell, who took Player of the Year in 1971.
For the first time since 2005, NC State boasts three players on the All-ACC first team, including Rodon. Chris Diaz earned first team honors at shortstop, and Ryan Mathews claimed one of the four outfield spots.
Diaz led the ACC in doubles (23), finished second in hits (80), and fourth in batting average (.369) while anchoring the Wolfpack's infield. Mathews wrapped up the regular season with a flourish, smashing six home runs over his last seven games to climb to third on the ACC leaderboard (14) and extend the ACC's longest active hitting streak to 21 games.
Trea Turner made the All-ACC second team as a third baseman after leading the nation with 54 steals on only 58 attempts. Turner needs nine more to tie the ACC single-season record, and has already tied the conference's single game record with five on April 13 at Clemson. In addition to his base-stealing prowess, Turner hit .340 during his freshman campaign, finishing fifth in the ACC with a .449 OBP.
All three Pack position players on the all-conference team had batting averages listed among the conference's top 10. NC State had four players batting .340 (Diaz, Mathews, Turner, and Danny Canela) or above to make the top 10, two more than any other team in the conference.

Wednesday Afternoon News, Nov. 21
Floyd Valley Hospital Swaps Land
(Le Mars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital officials have made a deal with the city in the transfer of a small parcel of land which hopefully will clear the way for an addition to the hospital. When land surveys were recently conducted it was learned that a portion of Floyd Valley's property was located within a flood plain, as well as a wetland. Mike Donlin, administrator for Floyd Valley Hospital explains the situation.
Listen to
Donlin says meetings have been scheduled for this week with USDA officials to address the flood plain issue. Donlin says he is hoping Rural Development officials will set aside the necessary funds that Floyd Valley is seeking for a loan, with the hopes that they will be notified in either December or January. Floyd Valley officials are finalizing the process for the loan application. The hospital administrator says a consulting firm has been hired to help raise local capital for the expansion project.

New Doctor Joins Staff At Floyd Valley Hospital
(Le Mars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital officials have announced a new doctor will be joining the staff next July. Dr. Andrew Geha will provide all facets of family healthcare services from pre-conception to end of life services. Dr. Geha earned his undergraduate degree at Creighton University. He received his Masters Degree and Doctor of Osteopathy from Des Moines University. He is currently in the Family Practice Residency Program with the Siouxland Medical Education Foundation.
Volunteers Prepare Community Thanksgiving Meal
(Le Mars) -- Thanksgiving is a time to offer our blessings. Tradition dictates that we celebrate by feasting on turkey, stuffing, potatoes, side dishes, and a variety of desserts, that often includes pumpkin pie. Several volunteers from local churches are busy preparing for the Community Thanksgiving meal which will be served from the Rejoice Church Thursday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Donna Britcher coordinates the project.
Listen to
Britcher says it takes about one hundred volunteers in order to feed the expected 700 plus people. The Community Thanksgiving started seven years ago, with the idea to offer a Thanksgiving meal to those that have no family, or to shut-ins, but Britcher says it has expanded.
Listen to
The meal is free of charge. If you would like a Thanksgiving meal delivered to your home, simply call the Rejoice Church at 548-4430.
Thanksgiving Holiday Means More Traffic and More Accidents
(Le Mars) -- Thanksgiving weekend ranks as one of the most heavily traveled times with estimates of up to 44 million extra people on the nation's highways. Because of that extra amount of traffic, it also ranks as one of the deadliest for vehicle accidents.
Listen to
Iowa State Patrol trooper Vince Kurtz reminds motorists that Iowa roads will have extra patrol units watching traffic. His first suggestion to holiday motorists is not to speed and allow for extra time for your destination.
Listen to
Kurtz says avoid the distractions. He says statistics show that up to 80 percent of today's accidents are due to distractions. So, put away the cell phone and don't text messages while driving. The other major consideration is alcohol.
Listen to
The state patrol trooper says generally Iowans rank high for seat belt usage, but he reminds motorists to always "buckle up".
Listen to
Kurtz says we can all be thankful for when we make a safe journey.
Jurors Find University of Iowa Denied A Law Professor A Promotion Based On Politics
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Jurors say they believed the University of Iowa law school denied a promotion to a conservative because of her politics, but were split on whether the former dean could be held responsible.
Jury forewoman Carol Tracy of Davenport tells the Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/10teffS ) that "everyone in that jury room believed that" Teresa Wagner was discriminated against when
she was passed over for teaching jobs.
But jurors say they believed the school itself - not former dean Carolyn Jones - should've been named as the defendant. Wagner's lawsuit named Jones because federal law does not recognize
political discrimination by institutions.
Jurors returned a verdict finding Jones didn't violate Wagner's free speech rights, but deadlocked over whether Wagner's equal-protection rights were violated. A judge declared a mistrial
on the second count.

BMO Harris Bank Chicago Works: Laura Letinsky debuts the artist's newest body of work, a photographic series titled Ill Form and Void Full (2010–11). Known for her elegantly composed figurative and still-life photographs that engage with problems of desire, expectation, and the fleeting nature of time, Letinsky is exploring new directions in her practice, incorporating into her compositions reproductions of images that dramatically complicate viewers' perceptions of space within the picture plane. In the works on view in this exhibition, Letinsky has carefully arranged three-dimensional objects, such as papaya, cherry pits, silverware, and ripped paper, among flat images taken from decor and cooking magazines and art reproductions (of her own and others' work). These round and flat objects, some reshaped by the artist to assume new forms, are often indistinguishable from one another, combining in an innovative process of collage. The title of the series reflects Letinsky's interest in how language can complicate our perception of the images.
This exhibition is curated by MCA Pamela Alper Associate Curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm.
With ordinary objects, artist Laura Letinsky instills—and questions—photographic desire from WBEZ on Vimeo.

|Farm Girl book review
|Written by Julie Beckman
There is an unmistakable piece of one's character which seems to be a direct result of being raised on the rolling plains of the midwest. It is an unfabricated existence, away from cities, in a unique world filled with memories of family, neighbors and trips to the big cities. Anyone who has ever lived or ventured to the quaint farms of the plains can without hesitation recall the peace and serenity those endless fields possess.
In her book "Farm Girl," Karen Jones Gowen tells the story of the unspoiled childhood of her mother, Lucille Marker Jones. Born and raised on a small homestead in western Nebraska, Gowen shares the story of her mother's life.
Initially writing in an attempt to somehow go back to the summers of her own childhood, Gowen first began to consider writing a book. However, it was not until participating in a class at Brigham Young University that she realized it was her mother's story, and not her own, that she wished to share.
Through the class, Gowen learned about a writing style called folklore. The folklore style uses the author as a collector of the story, and the central character of the story as the voice the story is told through.
The book's folklore style takes some adjustment for the reader initially, but after a short time the voice becomes clear.
Gowen used countless numbers of phone conversations with her mother to collect the story's content before finally compiling the stories she wished to tell.
Through the voice of her mother, Gowen takes readers through the adventures and struggle of her mother's life. The book begins with the story of how her grandparents, who were homesteaders, got to the plains of Nebraska and in the end, the story of how her parents met.
As the book progresses, Lucille's life becomes dominant, with accounts of her parents and various relatives seamlessly intertwined. From her childhod adventures to the stories about each of her very different parents, the story comes to life and in the process an underlying story emerges. The emerging story is not of people, but rather is of an unforgettable time in history.
The time period the book is written in gives us a look into several decades which held great hopes and indescribable hardships. It takes us from the "roaring twenties" filled with technological progress and a sigh of relief after the war, to the "dirty thirties" which brought drought, economic instability and hardships from coast to coast.
Through the intertwined stories of the life of the Marker family and of the broader historical time period, the book is more than captivating. Gowen's vivid accounts of her mother's life allow the book to read as seamlessly as if one were recalling personal memories.

Ned Yost media session: Teaford joins the Royals
Before concluding a short midweek series against the Cleveland Indians Tuesday night, manager Ned Yost talked about the two latest additions to the Royals' pitching staff.
Left-handers Everett Teaford and Danny Duffy join the Royals from Triple-A Omaha (Teaford officially tonight while Duffy will join the club tomorrow), where both players were putting up impressive numbers for the Storm Chasers. Teaford provides another left-handed arm out of the bullpen and Duffy is scheduled to make his first Major League start Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.
With Omaha, Teaford was 2-1 with a 3.01 ERA in 10 appearances (3 starts). He moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen at the end of April. Yost said that things are easier on the bullpen with two lefties, emphasizing that Teaford and fellow southpaw Tim Collins will be used in various situations.
"[Teaford] is not just a lefty specialist. He's a little more than that," Yost explained. "This gives us the ability to shut down an inning with lefty-dominant hitters."
Duffy went 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 7 starts at Omaha, notching 43 strikeouts in 36.0 innings. The skipper noted that Duffy was slated to start on Wednesday in the minors so the team decided to keep him on his regular pitching schedule.
"Wednesday is Duffy's regular day," Yost said. "We'd like to give him every comfort we can in his first Major League start."
Teaford will wear No. 61 and is available for tonight's contest. Since Duffy is not on the 40-man roster, the club will have to make a corresponding roster move tomorrow to select his contract from Omaha.

Our Values
- Why Organic
- The Frontier Family
- About our 1% Fund
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
On a sourcing trip to India in February 2009, Commodity Manager Kai Stark and VP of Sustainability Kathy Larson visited a farmer group in the state of Kerala that is a Well Earth® supplier of organic black and white pepper and turmeric. The supplier is actively engaged in the social and economic development of people in the region through initiatives in sustainable agriculture, the promotion of indigenous medicines, assistance to women and children, and community health and sanitation.
The farmer group brings together hundreds of small farms in the state of Keral, many less than a hectare (2.5 acres) and perched on steep slopes, rugged hillsides and tiny valleys. Kai and Kathy noted the intense, yet sustainable, style of agriculture practiced as they visited the small family farms. Pepper plants are heavily intercropped with turmeric and ginger to maximize the use of the organically enhanced soil.
To foster organic agriculture, the group established a training center — complete with a biological control and pest management lab as well as composting and vermiculture demonstration areas — which they use to educate farmers about organic and sustainable farming methods. However, because many of the farms are located long distances from the center, and travel is often difficult, numerous farmers were unable to attend training.
To help address this problem, the Simply Organic® 1% fund (SO1%) provided a grant of nearly $30,000 to bring all 790 farmers to the center for a day of intensive training. The group demonstrated its commitment to improving the region's organic farming methods by coordinating travel and implementing the 45 sessions required to train all of the farmers. Each farmer received a Well Earth bag containing vermiculture starter kits, as well as an assortment of biological controls for various pests and diseases to take back to their farm.
Also invited to the training were members of the Kerala state and local governments, many of whom attended so they could get a better understanding of organic agriculture and its benefits. The response was positive, and additional governmental support of organic agriculture in the region is expected.
Both Kai and Kathy were impressed with the quality and depth of the training and the farmers' appreciation of the opportunity to increase their knowledge. The training project is in perfect keeping with the goals of SO1% fund and Frontier's Well Earth sourcing program -- developing sustainable sources for the products we offer and supporting farmers around the world who are committed to sustainable and organic agricultural practices.
We're inspired by the spirit of cooperation among our Well Earth partners. For example, when the training in Kerala came in under budget by a few hundred dollars, we were able to also donate a weed eater to a farmer from each of two groups. In turn, these farmers will assist other farmers in their group with weed control.
Kathy has spoken at numerous conferences and events both here in the U.S. and in Europe about Well Earth and Frontier's overall sustainability program. "Everyone I talk to is impressed with the breadth of the program and its far-reaching goals," she says. "It's rewarding to be able to share our story with customers, the industry, and representatives of governments and organizations." But for her, she says, the greatest reward has been visiting southern India, meeting Well Earth farmers and seeing the benefit of Well Earth partnerships first hand.

(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly bolstered their
According to multiple reports, the Phillies have reached an agreement with
free-agent Mike Adams on a two-year, $12 million contract. The deal, which
includes a vesting option for 2015, is pending a physical.
The 34-year-old right-hander will set up for closer Jonathan Papelbon, giving
the club a formidable late-inning combination.
Adams underwent surgery in October to correct thoracic outlet syndrome, which
is caused by a rib pushing down on a nerve and results in a numbing sensation.
Since the 2008 season, he has posted a 1.98 earned run average while tossing
295 innings for San Diego and Texas.

I'm attempting to migrate a Zimbra 7.1.4 GA installation from an Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit server to Zimbra 7.1.4 GA on an Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit server. (Note I've also tried migrating to a Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit server with same results).
I'm following the instructions on this page:
Platform and OS Independent ZCS to ZCS Migration Using Rsync
I've got as far as transferring all the files and backing up/transferring the ldap configuration. I'm running into issues importing the ldap config on the 64bit server:
I'm not sure what to make of this. The slapadd binary exists, so I assume there's some file the binary cannot reference. /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config exists. /backup/ldap-config.bak exists. I'm not sure which file or directory slapadd is referring to.Code:zimbra@ubuntu64:~$ /opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapadd -q -n 0 -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -cv -l /backup/ldap-config.bak -su: /opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapadd: No such file or directory
I've used this technique for migration in the past and it's worked with no problems. Any insights would be appreciated. I'd like to get get zimbra migrated to a 64 bit server as zimbra for Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit has been deprecated.

Where I was in a dark set of carpeted chambers with the only light coming from small cracks in the walls and the exit. The ceilings were really low so I had to crawl on my hands and knees, it was hot and stuffy. The dream started where I woke up and found myself in said place but there was this feeling of grogginess and desperation, a feeling of anxiety like I overslept and had to get out at all costs because I was there longer than I should have been. I finally crawled out the exit to find myself in a waiting room of sorts with suffocating honey yellow wooden walls. A man was saying something to me as I exited but I forget what, it had the feeling like he was trying to direct me but I was too busy telling him that I needed help knowing where I was. I then saw several people in my family pass me. I tried to get their attention but they only looked at me for a moment, never stopping and walking on as if disgusted or disappointed in me. I then woke up to get myself ready for another day of work.
Some one interpret this dream for me.

Here is a link to Thumpers maintenance notes. Among other things, he references the fork oil level.http://members.verizon.net/allofusmorrows/RE_maintenance.htmThere is a lot of good information there.
This is all spelled out if you buy a manual.To quote the Snidal Manual:" The capacity for replacement oil is 200 ml.
I'm trying to figure out where MORE than 200ml came from for AVLs. I saw 200 in Snidal as well.
I still have 200ml of atf-f in them and they do dive quite a bit on braking and stay down there while stopped until I let off the handlebars. I have clubman bars on so the weight is right over the forks. I figured lighter fork oil might feel the same or even be worse so I was going to try a higher weight. I was also wonder if was because I was "under-filled" at 200ml.
After a complete flush of the forks, filled in 200ml of fork oil.Tire pressure at 26 and i got a real bumpy front.Isn't 250ml a lot of oil in the fork?
50 ml is 1.7 ounces. This would raise the level in the tube what? about an inch? (I'm not gonna do the math because I don't know the diameter of the tube). Would some guys who actually know the mechanics & hydraulics of front forks please tell me what effect this has on my bike out on the road? (200 vs 250). The only thing I know for sure is that I sure as hell don't know. What I "think" is that the "number" is to make sure there's "enough". Let's put this thing to rest.

Hi guys
I have got a client that would like to migrate his 7 Zimbra accounts from his current provider to us.
My main problem is, that the client has only got access as a domain admin on the current accounts.
What would be the best option for migrating his seven email accounts on version 5.x.x to us. We are on 6.0.1.
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

I have been reading an interesting book on Medieval villages and it seems naming was pretty easy back then. With no surnames people would be identified by their profession or elders. For example: John Smith or John Carpenter. Or John son of Harrold. Later this name might have changed to John Harroldson.

The philosophical roots of scepticism lie in the 3rd Century BC; and the Greek philosopher Pyrrho, who saw scepticism as the logical end-point of intellectual inquiry. According to Pyrrho, the intellectually mature sceptic would still seek knowledge (because he or she "does not claim to know that truth cannot be found"); and would therefore be "prepared to investigate and evaluate any new argument in relation to any conclusion" [see Scepticism by Arne Naess (1968); pages 5-6]. It is self-evidently the case that climate change sceptics do not do this, and do not accept it when their alternative hypotheses are shown to be flawed. Unfortunately, exactly the same "catch-22 situation" has resulted in the ongoing failure of some people to accept that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was and is a complete fraud (hereinafter referred to as the PEZ problem).
In his 1991 book Unnatural Doubts, Michael Williams focused on modern Cartesian scepticism (i.e. named after René Descartes), which proposes that "there is no such thing as knowledge of the external world" (1991: xii). Williams also suggested that the fundamental question regarding scepticism is whether doubts raised are "natural" or "intuitive"; or (as he cited Thompson Clarke as having put it) is the sceptic examining… "our most fundamental convictions [about the nature of reality] or the product of a large piece of [their own] theoretical philosophising about empirical knowledge…?" (ibid: 1). Clearly, climate change "sceptics" are doing the latter; because the fundamentals of the so-called "greenehouse effect" are not in dispute. What is questioned is the primacy of CO2 emissions as the cause of the changes we are witnessing (despite the repeated rebuttal of alternative explanations – i.e. due to the PEZ problem)
In 1996, Timothy Fuller edited and posthumously published what he described as a summary of the thoughts of Michael Oakeshott [1901-1990] on modern politics and government (in The Politics of Faith and the Politics of Scepticism). In this book, scepticism is discussed as a political rather than philosophical entity; with the politics of faith and the politics of scepticism as two poles of political thought: Oakeshott equated the politics of faith with authoritarian control "for the purpose of achieving human perfection" [i.e. utopianism such as that of Karl Marx] (ibid: 24); and the politics of scepticism with government "detached from the pursuit of human perfection" [i.e. a utilitarian approach] (ibid: 31). Therefore, if Oakeshott's dichotomy may be reduced to one of optimism (idealism) versus pessimism (realism), then climate change sceptics are clearly engaged in the politics of faith; in that they seek to maintain the optimistic belief that AGW is not a real problem.
In 2002, Neil Gascoigne summarised the sceptical position as one that questions the reality of anything and everything we think we know (Scepticism p.1); and cited two arguments used by sceptics to generate doubts, namely (1) the "argument from ignorance" [e.g. we cannot prove we are not dreaming]; and (2) the "Agrippan argument" [e.g. a childish retort of "why" in response to any adult statement of fact] (ibid: 6). Although some climate change sceptics do this in a debating context, this is often to avoid confronting the reality of the weight of scientific evidence arrayed against them; in favour of the existence of an alternative explanation that, they argue, deserves equal consideration (even if it has been repeatedly shown to be erroneous elsewhere – i.e. the PEZ problem once again).
Therefore, whereas blind faith and scepticism should be irreconcilable, in the context of thinking about ongoing AGW, they are indistinguishable: The denial of human responsibility for what is happening to our climate is caused by cognitive disonnance and maintained by confirmation bias. However, just like all the other disinformation campaigns, it is destined to fail; and the sooner the house of cards collapses the better it will be for all of us.
"There is none so blind as those who will not see" (Jeremiah 5:21)

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Wednesday may bring a winter storm but Monday was DC's Ground Hog Day, the day the National Park Service issues the cherry blossom peak bloom forecast.
The forecast? The biggest burst of blooms will hit from March 23 to March 30, right in the middle of the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
There's just a hint in the wind of the beauty to come but that burst of bloom, that first spectacular harbinger of spring is now just weeks away.
Hard to believe spring is right around the corner. It's cold and blustery at the Tidal Basin now. Luckily, the buds are just at the stage called "extension of florets." If they had made it to "peduncle elongation," the predicted Wednesday snowstorm might cause trouble, because that's when the developing blossoms become sensitive to frost.
"At this point, we don't feel there will be any impact other than getting the very tail end of winter weather to deal with," says James Perry, the new Park Service blossom prognosticator.
The buds ignore government crises too.The Park Service expects no impact, at least on the Cherry Blossom Festival, from sequester budget cuts. "It's very early in the sequester process, and we believe we will be able to run this as we always have," says Deputy Superintendent Stephen Lorezetti. "Events after Cherry Blossom will change undoubtedly. We don't know exactly what it will be." The Park Service is subject to the same budget cuts as most other federal agencies.
Also unknown? How long the blossoms will grace the Tidal Basin.
Wind or a rainstorm can steal them early. Perfect weather, and they'll tint Washington pink for weeks.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK)- For the second time in less than 24 hours, St. Louis Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting in the 2000 block of East John Avenue.
Police were called early Thursday to a home where Antwone Chatman; 323 of the 1200 block of Walton, had been shot just after 3:00 a.m. Chatman was found outside the home and was transported to an area hospital where he died.
Officials had no immediate motive for the shooting and had not identified any potential suspects in the crime.
Just yesterday afternoon, police found 36 year old Anthony Henderson with fatal injuries after he was struck multiple times by gunfire while he sat inside a car. The two scenes are less than a block from one another.
Henderson; who lived in the 5300 block of Ruskin Avenue, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Anyone with any information into either shooting is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS.

Look at the four sample maps here and try to outdo them. ........and keep in mind I'm not looking for actual finished, publishable-quality mapsif you're THAT skilled at maps, you should probably send your cartography resume to our art directors!
Having looked at their sample maps, and reading the quote above, I could not help but think that AT LEAST ten of our non-industry-pros should be making submisions to the directors.
SG - I have a few of Paiz's books at home and when I get there I will look through both them and your work again and give you some suggestions if you want. Just so you know, and take this as you will, I would put you in the number I mentioned above, along with a few others that have already replied

Good idea, Torstan! Maybe we should.
I sent a link to my portfolio, but I think I'll try my hand at, at least 2 of the four map turnovers requested. Maybe all four as well. Time with a bunch of Profantasy map symbols are a bit in the way - oh well, I'll manage.

Krzysztof Soszynski wanted to fight one more time before making a decision on retirement. It looks like he'll get that opportunity.
According to a report from Tatame, Soszynski (26-12-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) will meet Ednaldo Oliveira (13-1-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC on FX 6 in December. It will be Soszynski's first fight in a little more than a year.
UFC on FX 6 is scheduled for Dec. 15 in an Australian city and venue still to be announced. The show will air live in the U.S. on Dec. 14 due to the time difference.
Soszynski last saw action at UFC 140 this past December, where he suffered a 35-second knockout at the hands of Igor Pokrajac. After that fight, there was talk that "The Polish Experiment" was considering retirement.
But Soszynski told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) a couple weeks after that loss that he thought he still had one more fight left – depending on how he was able to recover from injuries that he said had kept him fighting well less than 100 percent ever since his first fight with Stephan Bonnar.
"I don't want to go out the way I did," Soszynski said. "I definitely want to fight one more time. But it's not up to me; it's up to my body. If my body lets me, I'll be in that octagon once again, smiling across the octagon from my opponent, shaking hands and going to war. But until I talk to my doctor and get checked out, I won't know what's going on."
After a six-fight win streak, including a 3-0 start in the UFC, Soszynski has gone 3-3. At UFC 102, he dropped a unanimous decision to Brandon Vera. At UFC 110, he had a war with Bonnar at UFC 110 that resulted in a TKO victory when Bonnar was not allowed to continue with a cut – a cut that later was discovered to come from an accidental headbutt.
The two rematched at UFC 116, another war – and "Fight of the Night" winner – but this time, it was Bonnar winning by second-round TKO. After back-to-back decision wins against Goran Reljic and Mike Massenzio at UFC 122 and 131, respectively, Soszynski suffered the quick KO loss to Pokrajac in Toronto.
Oliveira made his UFC debut this past January at UFC 142 in his native Brazil. He fought fellow Brazilian Gabriel Gonzaga in a heavyweight bout and lost with a first-round rear-naked choke. The setback was the first of his pro career.
Oliveira has 10 stoppages in his 13 career wins, including eight knockouts. For Soszynski, he drops down to light heavyweight – a move he was expected to make in July against Nick Penner. But he was forced out of that bout at UFC on FUEL TV 4 with a broken arm.
UFC on FX 6 will feature a main event middleweight bout between Hector Lombard and Rousimar Palhares, the two finals of "The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs. U.K." and the coaches' bout for that series between Ross Pearson and George Sotiropoulos.
For more on UFC on FX 6, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

RALEIGH, N.C. - North Carolina State says defensive back Jarvis Byrd will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Coach Dave Doeren said Tuesday that the redshirt senior tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a loss at Wake Forest on Oct. 5, but did not specify which knee.
It's the third torn ACL in five years for Byrd.
He injured his right knee as a freshman against North Carolina in 2009, then he tore his left ACL during an informal workout before the 2011 season.
Byrd started the first five games at safety after moving from cornerback, and had 17 tackles.Doeren called Byrd "a true champion" and says it's unfortunate that he has to undergo a third knee surgery.

Paul Robinson Cranks New V15
Bouldering ace Paul Robinson has established a new V15 in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. Dubbed The New Chapter, the line is the sit-down start to an already existing V13 called Child's Play, which Robinson, along with Daniel Woods and Jimmy Webb, had climbed in January.
"I saw the potential for a sit start, but we didn't get to try it that trip," Robinson told Rock and Ice.
Traveling back to Arkansas after ABS Nationals, Robinson tried the sit-start and was immediately intrigued, but unfortunately ran out of time before he could complete the problem. Eager to send the line, he made the trip back to the Ozarks a week later, but unfortunately conditions were not great.
"I returned to some horrid conditions and waited it out," says Robinson. "I saw my window and again set to work on the climb."
Robinson says he came close to sending on Tuesday, but was too fatigued to finish off the "endurancy" problem. Returning fresh and rested on Wednesday, Robinson managed to send the problem in a handful of tries. "One of the sickest roof climbs I have ever done," Robinson commented on 8a.nu.
The New Chapter is located in a "massive" roof that sits above the road leading 20 minutes west of Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. Robinson describes the problem as "very powerful" and says that the process involved fives sessions and "lots of tries."
As for the name of the problem?
"It is a new year and this is the hardest thing that I have put up this year," explains Robinson. "I am just really psyched and hopefully I can continue pushing myself and have the best year of my life!"

Central Fla. couple dead in motorcycle crash
Published: Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 9:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 9:28 p.m.
LAKELAND, Fla. — A central Florida couple is dead after their motorcycle crashed into a garbage truck.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office reports Michael Stanley Cox and his wife Yvette Marie Cox were riding in a Harley Davidson after going to Publix Saturday afternoon in Lakeland.
The two were traveling south on Lakeland Highlands Road when a garbage truck driven by Bobby Caswell crossed in front of them.
Investigators say Cox may have tried to take evasive action but the motorcycle struck the side of the truck.
Michael Stanley Cox was found alongside the motorcycle, while his wife was under the truck. Neither was wearing a helmet. Both died at the scene.
Caswell used the emergency break and came to a stop several feet from the point of impact. He was not injured.

Scania Oil
Choosing oil may not seem like a very high priority. But choosing the right oil can make a significant contribution to your overall operating economy.
Quality is everything when it comes to maximising performance and minimising wear and tear. But oil quality can vary considerably between brands and depending on where you operate. That's why we went to great lengths to develop our own range of engine, gearbox and axle oils.
Scania Oil is the result of over a decade of intense research and development, and is verified to exceed the demands of your vehicles and the extreme conditions they operate under.
Our tests led to a new Scania testing standard, the long drain field test, or LDF. "Long drain" means that we test the oils and engines for double our recommended mileages.
So wherever you operate, and whatever the driving conditions, you can be confident that by choosing Scania Oil you are helping to protect and prolong the life of your vehicles.
Every new vehicle today leaves the factory with Scania Oil in it, and we only use Scania Oil in our workshops. Now Scania Oil for engines, gearboxes and axles is also available for sale over the counter.
Your local dealer can help you specify the right oil for your vehicles and driving conditions.

Nickel and diming for East Rockaway
Florida 8-year-old helps New York students
1 2 Next page >
When Lynbrook High School class of 1985 graduate Karen Mitchell's 8-year-old son Skylar found out about the damage that was done in New York from Hurricane Sandy, he went right to work. Challenged by a family friend Doreen Moran of Valley Stream, Skylar, a second-grader at Laurel Oaks Elementary in Naples Fla., started to collect dimes from anyone he knew to help a school in New York. "The wheels started turning immediately," said Mitchell, "thinking of ways he could raise money."
The very next morning, Mitchell said that she found Skylar in the kitchen, already dressed and ready for school, coloring a flier that he intended to distribute.
"That same day I called the East Rockaway Education Foundation and gathered some information," Mitchell said. "I shared a short video, showing [Skylar] the damaged that happened to East Rockaway schools — and he wrote the rest of his flier out the next morning. I told him I would set up an appointment to meet with his principal if he was willing to move forward with raising some money."
It did not surprise Mitchell or her husband, Stuart that when she went to pick him up from school to meet with the principal, he jumped into the car and said he had everything covered and there was no need for me to go with him. "He did it himself and the fundraiser was on!"
"I did this because I want to help, and I know how much damage was done," said Skylar. "If it happened to me I hope other people would do the same that I am doing now. Two people from New York, Aunt Dor Aunt Janie always supports me in my fundraisers, and now it is time to return the favor. When I saw the video I felt really bad for the people that don't have homes and don't have schools. I hope the kids can be back in the schools soon as possible."
Prior to Skylar and his classmates going on holiday break, the Mitchells, along with Skylar's sister, Rachael, printed the fliers as labels and placed them on 781 plastic bags and stuffed them with a quick note explaining his plans. They were distributed to all the students in the school in hopes they would gather up any loose change they could over their holiday break and bring back to school when they returned on January 7.

This one 8-year old was able to do more for a storm devastated area than the entire obstructionist house republicans in congress could.
