Take Me Home, Country Roads - (USA)
This week's Spin Cycle is all about relaxation, and I am happy to say that I'm gonna get a piece of that action this weekend, when I go back to my home town of Slater for a visit. What? You've never heard of Slater, Missouri? Well, let me show you where it is: Um, yep. That's pretty much it. Now, if you've read my "A Few Things" piece over there on the side, I talk a little bit about my home town. Goats on Main Street and a graduating class of 32 people are just the tip of the iceberg.

Flooding and Hiking--A year at the Nisqually River--Original Oil Painting - (USA)
The Nisqually River tumbles off the Nisqually Glacier which resides on the side of Mount Rainier, a dormant volcano in Washington State. In the spring and summer this area provides wonderful opportunities for hiking, camping, and whitewater rafting. The course of the river often changes in the winter months as the run off from snow and rain increases. In 2006 during a winter storm, the river chopped off a chunk of the road that takes visitors up the mountain. With the time and effort of many p

On Tonight: Aftermath of Earthquake, 'Runway' Removal - (USA)
It was one year ago this month that a catastrophic earthquake hit rural Sichuan Province in China, killing nearly 70,000. Of them, 10,000 were children in schools that collapsed while buildings all around them withstood the tremors. Once the initial shock and grief subsided, parents began doing something unusual for China - banding together to protest the questionable construction that doomed their children. The cameras of Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill were there within 10 days of the tragedy t
