Since the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine's reach spans as far as Star Destroyer warp drives can extend. For some, the tumultuous peace is just another inevitable hardship of border planet living, but other galactic citizens aren't as keen to bend to the Emperor's will. In Star Wars: A New Dawn, longtime comic and Lucas Books writer John Jackson Miller introduces two new characters who are poised to become lingering thorns in Palpatine's side as they rally their own rebellion, one refugee at a time.
Planet Gorse is only inhabited by holdout colonists clinging to a declining mining trade. They spend their days harvesting thorilide, a commodity for droid and weapons manufacturing, and their nights drinking away their hard-earned credits at Okadiah's planetside cantina. Working to impress the Emperor, ruthless and cunning business mogul Count Vidian arrives on Gorse to survey the thorilide supply and optimize what little industry remains. His investigation leads him to Cynda, Gorse's moon, which is also laden with thorilide. The trick is that extracting thorilide from beneath the moon's surface is time-consuming, and both Vidian and the Emperor are unwilling to wait for the materials to trickle in from border space.
Kanan Jarrus is a Cyndan miner seemingly like all the other holdouts, but he is able to draw exceptional strength and willpower from the pain of loss he has been harboring since childhood. Jarrus notices the out-of-place Vidian marching around with his clone soldier escorts and takes it upon himself to keep the other miners safe by any means. He runs into Hera Syndulla, a Twi'lek spy who has been trailing Vidian across the galaxy, and the two ally to combat the encroaching Empire. Can they stop Vidian from hatching a nefarious plan to harvest Cynda's resources in a highly unethical and ultimately lethal manner?
Kanan and Hera continue their adventures in the animated series Star Wars Rebels which has spawned numerous Star Wars books for children. Adult and teen readers who enjoy A New Dawn should round up their children, brothers and sisters for a Star Wars party!
Puff the Magic Dragon conjures up a saccharine image, kind of like a winged Barney. A dragon named Melted Face with hide like Kevlar is more a feature of nightmares. Unfortunately for herpetologist CJ Cameron, Melted Face and his cronies have her in their sights in the rip-roaring action thriller The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly.
CJ is flying to China. The Chinese government is sparing no expense to bring her, along with influential politicians and reporters, to premiere their nation's newest attraction: a phenomenal zoo designed to make the Disney's amusement empire look rinky-dink. As they arrive at the park, located in a remote no-fly zone, CJ is stunned to see Greyhound bus-sized mythical creatures soaring through the sky. The official announcement? "Welcome to Great Dragon Zoo of China."
Like a surreal Sea World, the visit starts with the equivalent of a dolphin show. A cute handler prompts dragons through tricks, explains they were were hatched from ancient eggs buried miles beneath the earth's crust and ends by saddling up a sweet yellow dragon and flying into the clouds. CJ, however, sees both grim intelligence and simmering resentment in the lizards' eyes, and this public relations visit quickly turns into a blood-soaked battle for survival as hordes of angry dragons turn their captors into prey. Furiously paced and laced with reptilian scientific factoids, The Great Zoo of China is an adrenaline-charged adventure of a tale.
Imagine that right this second you could be anywhere else in the world: Where would you go? What would you do? Who would you seek out? Where would your dreams take you?
Cent dreams of space. She can jump anywhere in the world. Space is a whole other set of challenges.
The ticking heart of a Steven Gould book is the hard science underlying a fantastic premise. Yes, Cent and her parents can jump anywhere in the world, but it's underpinned by physics. Playing around with the implications of instantaneous travel is only part of the package. Much of the rest of it comes from examinations of present day and near future space travel. The third pillar of a Steven Gould story is relatively normal characters living through the fantasy.
Exo is the fourth book in Gould's Jumper series, which climbed all the way to the box office in an almost completely unrelated movie. Every single book has looked at the implications of instant travel, and every book has shown new revelations. This is the first to take the concept into space and ponder questions with serious real world implications. We're unlikely to ever have the ability to teleport freely, but any method that could allow for cheap or free launches could change the course of human history in large and small ways. A long, positive look is taken at the idea of letting senior citizens spend time in the comfort of zero gravity, for instance.
It's not all science. There are broken hearts, patchy relationships, awkward family bonding and an organization of spies lurking in the background. But Exo is a fun, fast romp that plays with some big ideas.
Hieroglyph: Stories and Visions for a Better Future, edited by Ed Finn and Kathryn Cramer, is a book with a mission, the public face of a project determined to get humanity moving back in the right direction. What direction is that? The direction is big dreams backed by science, a drive unseen since the furious push of the space race. Hieroglyph is built on the idea that scientists and engineers need science fiction writers to dream big dreams for them to chase after. To that end, Arizona State University started the Hieroglyph project to get everyone talking with each other. These debates are open to the public. This book is an anthology of short stories. After every story, URLs are provided to discussions with the hope that the readers read further, and maybe even take up the torch themselves.
The stories run a range. Most aren't concerned with space travel, keeping the science closer to home, and more likely to be reached within our lifetimes. The first story is about the massive architectural shifts that could come from building a tower 20 miles high. Other stories create greener cities, or more peaceful conflict resolution through social media and advanced common literacy. This is an optimistic book, sometimes utopian in its outlook, but often not. There's a lot of pragmatic futurism here, including massive acknowledged debts to Robert Heinlein's The Man Who Sold the Moon, which was far less about space travel than it was about the business deals necessary to make space travel possible.
As literature, the stories vary in quality from crisp prose by Cory Doctorow to long descriptions about future cities that aren't really stories. It pitches big ideas and strange ideas, through narrative and experiments. Considering all of the technology we use every day, from medical technology, smartphones and touch screens that came out of Star Trek, sending science after science fiction makes sense. If Hieroglyph gets traction, expect sequels with more dreams.
When it comes to comic books and graphic novels, Jeff Lemire is a 21st century Renaissance man. Hailing from Canada, he has been recognized numerous times for his prowess in both storytelling and artistry. Lemire has written and drawn most of his works completely on his own, but he also fares incredibly well when teaming up with other writers and inkers at DC Comics.
Lemire's sci-fi brain bender Trillium is an eight-issue comic series published over the span of August 2013 to April 2014. In Trillium, adventurers Nika and William are torn from their worlds by occult magic and thrust together in an alien jungle on a foreign planet. Through this supernatural machination, the couple becomes intertwined, although they don't realize it at first since they're unable to communicate due to language disparities. Nika and William fight to understand each other while combing the flora and fauna in search of the rare trillium flower, which is thought to be the only possible cure to a sentient, space-travelling supervirus that has decimated humanity.
Trillium is confounding and strangely beautiful. Navigating dimensions with William and Nika is a thrilling experience with a rewarding narrative that endears readers to persevere. Throughout the series, Lemire toys with conventional comic layout standards and actually has readers flipping the book upside down and reading from back to front, conveying the disorientation the characters are feeling. Lemire's signature mixed medium art style leaves each page messy and scrawled, evoking hysteria and tension. His ability to convey emotions through his characters' faces is incredible; oftentimes it isn't what's said, but what's left unsaid that resonates in Lemire's works. The same is true of his 2008-2009 Essex County Trilogy, which has been praised as one of the best Canadian graphic novels of its decade.
The aftermath of an energy crisis is explored in Edan Lepucki's new novel California. Frida and Cal are on their own, living in a shack and facing the uncertain future that may include the birth of a baby. Frida knows she may need help with the birth, and the couple discover that there is a community of people nearby, surrounded by a foreboding fortress made of tall spikes and broken glass. But is the fortress meant to keep strangers and roving bands of pirates out, or keep the insular residents in? Desperate to find acceptance, Frida and Cal decide to play by the rules. But a charismatic leader emerges with an agenda of his own, and both Frida and Cal begin to wonder if this is the paradise for which they had hoped.
A remarkable work of dystopian literature, California stays fresh with interesting characters and a suspenseful storyline. Frida and Cal are sympathetic protagonists, and Lepucki examines elements of their past life and slowly reveals how the world before has led to a dramatic and difficult present.
Although set in the future, the novel stays grounded in reality and will appeal to readers who enjoy strong characters facing hard choices in a realistic way. This debut novel for Edan Lepucki proves her to be a writer to watch. The audiobook is narrated by Emma Galvin, who brings life to the text for an enjoyable listening experience. Readers who enjoy this novel may want to also read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel or The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber.
Thirty years ago, mankind gained access to virtually unlimited space. By means of a small box containing a potato, people could step "West" or "East" into an unknown number of alternate Earths where humankind had never evolved. Given open spaces, mankind did what mankind has always done, and colonized millions of other worlds. They weren't nearly enough.
Willis Linsay disappeared 30 years ago after releasing humanity into the Long Earth. No one knows where he's been, or what he's been looking for all that time, but now he's back and dragging his daughter along to Mars. For Mars, it turns out, also has an infinite number of alternate worlds, and one of them might just hold a whole new gateway to the universe. Back on the Long Earth, Captain Maggie Kauffman has been sent on an entirely new exploration, all the way out to Earth 200 million. Joshua Valiente, the Long Earth's oldest explorer, has set out to find a new kind of people who may be humanity's future.
The third book in the Terry Pratchett Long Earth series, The Long Mars' weakness is its plot, which feels like the set up for a bigger story. While there may be a functional double climax, most of the story is exploratory ramble, but that exploratory ramble remains absolutely stunning. Every world in the Long Earth and a few in the Long Mars developed in radically different ways. The alternate world premise may be fantasy, but every world of the Long Earth has real science behind it. Here, an entirely different evolutionary pathway, there a different sociological slant on civilization. It's possible to learn more about climate science in in a single passage of The Long Mars than an entire high school science course, and be entertained besides by Terry Pratchett's arch commentary.
Earlier this year, Between the Covers blogger Jeanne told our readers about Archetype, a debut novel by Maryland author M.D. Waters. In that novel, Emma wakes with no memory of her past. She begins to have flashes of memory and soon realizes that neither her doctor nor her loving husband Declan are exactly who they seem to be. She fights to learn the truth, and what she finds is truly shocking.
Prototype is the exciting conclusion to Emma's story. The novel picks up one year after the end of Archetype. Emma now knows what happened to her, and she finds herself on the run from Declan. If she wants to survive, she must trust Noah, the man who she used to believe was the love of her life, and members of a resistance group that she used to help lead. The action ramps up in Prototype as Emma claims her true identity. This book is a genre-bending hybrid of science fiction, romance, action and psychological suspense.
Waters recently answered some questions for Between the Covers readers. Learn more about this talented writer, what she's working on now and the music that influenced Emma's story.
Between the Covers: What inspired you to write Emma's story?
M.D. Waters: Growing up, my dad was a huge influence on me when it came to what the future could hold. I always had these things in the back of my mind: a planet-wide overpopulation, technology to control what type of child you bring into the world and that Mother Nature will always make it right. So when Emma woke me in the middle of the night, telling me she lived in a world where women were a rare commodity… Well, I immediately thought of all these things my dad believed possible.
BTC: Equality and legal rights, which differ wildly between men and women as well as clones and humans, are an important issue in both books. Have you had much feedback from readers about those issues?
MW: I have, yes, and everyone takes away very different things. Lots of positive thought provoking, but also some negatives, which surprises me. Lots of assumptions on my "plan," which doesn't exist. I see those issues as very normal and very possible, and didn't even think about the actual rights issues it addressed when I wrote the books. We already live in a world where equality is a matter of perspective, and many of us are blind to the truth. Will it always be that way? I don't know. I'd love to think we're progressing to complete equality, but we're human and subject to nature and/or nurture.
BTC: You share a lot of music on your blog. If Emma had a theme song, what would it be?
MW: "Lost in Paradise" by Evanescence. I swear there was a point when I listened to it on repeat for days. But I'd also choose "Tear the World Down" by We Are the Fallen. I felt a lot of Emma's strength in Prototype in that one.
BTC: The books are a great blend of action, science fiction, romance and suspense. Let's pretend that you just got the call that Archetype and Prototype are being made into a movie, and you have free rein with the casting. Tell us about your dream cast.
MW: Jennifer Lawrence, Stephen Amell (Declan) and Charlie Hunnam (Noah). (Triple crosses fingers!)
BTC: Will you tell us a little bit about your writing process? Where do you write? Do you write every day? Who is your first reader?
MW: My process is crazy. I go in these really long spurts of sleeplessness and coffee hazes. Then I binge watch television for days after because I broke my brain. I have a "library" in my house with my books and desktop, but I move around to different areas with my laptop too. Change of scenery always helps. My first readers? Charissa Weaks and Jodi Henry. I have a handful of people who read for me, but these two are always there to read short paragraphs to entire chapters on a whim. I couldn't do this without them.
BTC: What can readers expect from you next?
MW: More of the same. I'm working on a spinoff of Archetype and Prototype, but also a Young Adult sci-fi [novel] that's set in a world with its own set of issues.
BTC: As a reader, what book are you most excited to get your hands on right now?
MW: How much time do we have? Currently, I'm ready to get my hands on The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey. His writing really shook loose the voice in the Young Adult [novel] I'm working on, plus The 5th Wave was seriously kick-ass. So, um, gimme.
The science fiction genre has been on the decline for quite some time, but with the rise of innovative, mind-bending authors like Ann Leckie that might be about to change. Leckie has set imaginations afire, garnered a constellation of outstanding reviews and received a recent nomination for a 2013 Nebula Award for her debut novel, Ancillary Justice.
Ancillary Justice is set in a far future in an interplanetary empire known as the Radch. The Radchii utilize humans, massive ships and space stations connected by a vast network of artificial intelligence and the Ancillaries. Ancillaries are formerly living humans that have been transformed into part of the collective mind of their ships or stations. No longer human but also not fully machine, they are the Borg with more humanity and better fashion sense. Breq, the book's protagonist, used to be an Ancillary of the starship Justice of Toren. Something happened to the ship, and she is the last surviving piece with all of the ship's memories and no individual identity of her own. Breq is on a quest for vengeance for the death of her favorite human officer. The story is told in both Breq's present and flashbacks that tell of the events leading up to the loss of the Justice of Toren. These flashbacks allow the brilliance of the work to shine through.
With a narrator that is a ship consisting of hundreds of parts, you often seem to get point of views from dozens of perspectives, but they are all from the same character. It is no accident that the Radchii have no sense of gender. Throughout the book, Breq refers to everyone as "she," and it is only through the conversations of others that we get any sense of gender identity. As Breq's story unfolds and you see a multifaceted Artificial Intelligence developing a split personality and hiding secrets from itself, you develop a true appreciation for what Leckie has accomplished.
A world on the verge of unimagined changes in identity, technology and biological change, Ancillary Justice delivers a window into our future and how the definition of being human might be more malleable than we think.
In The Martian by Andy Weir, the action is cranked all the way up to 11, which is an impressive feat for a story that unfolds over the course of a year and a half. Set in the not-too-distant future, this is the story of NASA's third mission to Mars. A type of routine has set in with these missions to the Red Planet until a freak sandstorm causes NASA to abort the mission and evacuate the planet. As the astronauts prepare to leave the surface, one is struck and thought to be dead, so he is left behind by his crewmates. Knocked unconscious, Mark Watley awakes to find himself in a damaged spacesuit, alone, with no communications and no way to get off the planet. Smart, sarcastic, hard-working, imaginative and more than a little nerdy, Watley is the perfect hero. Left alone with limited supplies, Watley has to find a way to survive and meet his basic needs. Just as he starts to accomplish this, NASA realizes their mistake. As the world turns its attention to the drama unfolding across a sea of stars, Watley is forced to parry every challenge thrown at him by a harsh, unforgiving environment.
The Martian, with its roots in current space history, it is more a work of science "fact-ion" than science fiction. This debut novel by a promising new voice is a celebration of the esprit de corps and professionalism of NASA, as well as a celebration of the human spirit. Weir speaks to the basic human need to risk any danger, no matter the cost, to save another human in distress. The Martian will leave you breathless on its way to a fist-pumping-in-the-air conclusion, perfect for anyone who loved Apollo 13 or Gravity as well as readers of Mary Roach's Packing for Mars.

Lounge & easy listening with shorter skirts and longer sideburns. Plus soundtracks that swing.
My name is Dave. I live in Brooklyn, NY. Some of my favorite memories as a kid involved staying home from school either sick or playing hookie, because I would get to watch the 1:00 movie on KSTW (then KTNT) 11 in Olympia, WA. It was a gold mine of 60s schlock. My favorite were the detective movies. In these movies (usually from Universal) there was a nearly always a scene with, say, Frank Sinatra, James Coburn or Lee Marvin playing a detective who'd have to visit a (usually scantily-clad female) informant who worked at, say, a strip club. Or a drug den. Or a warehouse LSD party. I used to pray that these scenes would last forever because I LOVED the music playing in the background. It was sort of this psuedo-psychedelic instrumental orchestral rock & roll music. I couldn't get enough of it. To a kid from rural Washington State, it represented style and sophistication. This was how the jet set lived. This station is dedicated to that music. Enjoy. And if anyone can tell me where I can find a recording of Dionne Warwick singing the John Williams version of Valley of the Dolls, I'd love you forever. I'm stuck with Dory Previn singing the movie version or Dionne singing her album release version, neither of which is good.

A Daughter's Response to "Mincha in the Midwest"
This past Simchat Torah, my mother began planning her synagogue's first women's mincha, afternoon service. She was inspired by the joy of the Simchat Torah women's reading, and wanted to extend it to a regular Shabbat. So she worked with some young women in the community to make it happen, and brought women who might never have prayed or connected as a community to a mincha service.
She recently wrote, in The Torch, that she needs to effect change because of us, her daughters, my sisters and me. It is true that we "struggle fiercely with the dissonance between our place in the religious sphere and our ability to lead in the outside world." Outside of the Jewish community, we have power. Power to shape the discourse around us, to assume leadership, to practice the rituals of our professions and of our communities of common values without anyone questioning whether our very engagement undermines our belongingness. Outside of the Jewish community, I can use every talent in my arsenal to make this world a better place–voice, humor, and compassion are welcome–whereas the Jewish community polices them under the titles of "modesty," "tradition," and "careful halakhic process."
But Ima, it's not "hard for me to hang onto my Judaism." I was brought up by a role model who showed me its beauty and worth in every action; to leave is unthinkable. The struggle lies in making Judaism, which was not written for me, as much of a conduit for contribution and action as the rest of my life—to live it, not simply to be it. To live it, like you do.
Ima, it is women like you, not me, who will change Judaism. It is women like you, women who are joyous with their lot and excited to find they can do something more, who will bring Orthodox Judaism slowly but surely into the twentieth century (their great-granddaughters may bring it into the twenty-first). I, for whom a gag reflex is triggered when a well-meaning man tells me, "of course women can do that," can no longer abide being in the same room as a discussion about whether women can or cannot celebrate some aspect of their religion in public. It's my religion—how dare they imagine that they have control over it?
And the thing is, I grew up without bitterness. It took two years of midrasha, seminary, three years in college, and a lot of investigation into the halakhic process, to bring me to the polite distance I keep from the Jewish community today. My withdrawal from community means, to me, that I can have no say, no power, in how it develops. Seven years before this, I was leading the first women's mincha services at my university, giving shiurim, classes, and fighting for women's active role in the community. Now, nearly a decade later, I am tired of the constant internal struggle and cognitive dissonance. Like so many of my more perceptive and high-powered female friends, I have withdrawn to pursue leadership in other fields.
But it's a withdrawal that has allowed me to keep my joy in Judaism. To celebrate it personally, through tefillah and learning and observing kashrut and Shabbat, through my private conversations with God and considerations of how to act and what to say. Eventually, I will find a community driven by the same impulses that drive me, and then I will again begin to contribute and be part of a community. Until then, I will enjoy the brief simple delight of reading Torah on Simchat Torah in my mother's synagogue, quietly celebrate my religion on my own terms, in my own private space, and repeat over and over the lines of the Shabbat service, which, in my mind, represent the religious feminist's creed:
Tayn chelkaynu b'Toratecha v'taher leebaynu l'avdecha b'emet.
Give us a portion of Your Torah and purify our hearts to do Your work with integrity.

Camp as a Place for Change
I still have not gotten situated to the long Shabbats of the summer. For sixteen summers, I was immersed in the beauty that is Camp Stone. At camp I looked at my watch not in anticipation of when Shabbat would end, but rather to see how many precious minutes of this beautiful time still remained. Camp was an environment in which I felt empowered as I thrived as a person; a Jew and a woman. It was a place where, at the age of thirteen, I could be entrusted with the welfare of my plugah, my fire pit work crew, at the machaneh chutz, the two night camping trip. By fifteen, I was carrying a canoe, without assistance, for over a mile on a week-long canoe trip. It was the place where, at the age of nineteen, I cared for campers as if they were my own. Despite my numerous positive experiences, I clearly remember serving as the Sganit Rosh Moshava, second-in-command at camp if you will, and leading an educational activity.
Overall, I found my job that summer to be invigorating. I was working with staff and campers, creating programming, solving problems and building relationships. There was one moment, however, that I will never forget. That young blonde haired girl, soon to enter sixth grade, mentioned that a woman could not be a Rosh Moshava, a head of camp. Although her statement was irrelevant to the educational conversation about prayer, her words lit a fire in me. She may not have even been born during the years that Ellie Schreiber and Estee Eisenberg had enthusiastically taken on the role. Truth be told, in nearly forty years of camp, only two women, in comparison with upwards of fifteen men, held the title of "Rosh Mosh." A couple of years later, then serving as a woman Rosh Moshava, I winked at the camper, now entering eighth grade, as her bus pulled into camp.
This camper's words made it clear to me that I had an opportunity to show her that camp is a place without glass ceilings. That it truly was a coincidence that the role of Rosh Moshava had been held by men in in the 2000s. Since 2008, two more women have stepped up to the plate as Rosh Moshava at Camp Stone. My serving as Rosh Moshava was only a piece of the puzzle.
Those in the camping world often describe camps with utopian language. Camps are set in remote locations allowing distance from the 'negative' influences from general society. While camp is an opportunity to negate gender stereotypes, it is also a place where stereotypes can be strongly reinforced. For example, while a healthy body image can be difficult to maintain with television, the fashion world, magazines and other media, camps can choose to allow such magazines into camp or they can create a culture where conversation about one's weight is taboo. Camps, and the general community, need to take this powerful responsibility in. Camps can serve as catalysts for change.
I encourage camps to push further, past the obvious goals of ridding our youth of sexism. Camps can be the place to reinforce or reinvent norms and rituals of the Orthodox Jewish community. Camp is a place where girls sweat, get covered in mud, can let their hair and guard down and be anything but ladylike. Research has demonstrated this truth since the early twentieth century. What is special about camp is that the unique setting makes a woman saying kiddush on Friday night, for example, normative or mainstream within the Orthodox camp community. Why is that the case? Because camp administrators create a culture and what they say goes. I appreciated the way that Yaakov Fleischmann, former Rosh Moshava, put it while addressing camp staff. He explained that it does not matter if you fit in, what you are like at home, or what is popular outside of camp. Inside of camp, he enthusiastically expressed, "You define 'cool.'" The camp administration trains camp staff in understanding camp values in such a way that staff can transfer those values to campers. It does not matter what is 'cool' back home, inside of camp, it is a whole new game. What may be considered questionable or controversial at a synagogue is the standard in camp.
What makes camp critical in effecting long term change, is when campers and staff bring their camp experiences to their home communities and question the status quo. Camp is a place where gender equity, gender balance, and inclusion of women in ritual have the most potent impact. The beauty of camps, in contrast with other settings, is that school and synagogue politics do not factor into decisions. When potential areas of improvement are identified, action can be taken expeditiously. Camp decisions are based on chinuch, on the welfare of the campers, resulting in an environment that is willing to listen and adapt to best meet the needs of our daughters, our future.

Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne Talks ATP
By Mark Richardson on August 27, 2009 at 1:45 p.m. EDT
The last year of the decade is shaping up to be a big one for the Flaming Lips. They've got a new record coming in October, Embryonic, a 2xCD that, on the evidence of tracks like "See the Leaves" and "Silver Trembling Hands", seems to find them heading in a darker, spacier direction. They're also mounting a big tour that maintains the outlandish spectacle and circus-like vibe they've cultivated over the last ten years. And they're curating the final day of All Tomorrow's Parties New York 2009, having invited bands like Boredoms, Boris, No Age, Caribou, Oneida, and Deerhoof. We spoke to Coyne yesterday, shortly after the Flaming Lips tour bus pulled into Atlanta, where they were playing a show that night, to get his take on the festival.

SOUTHFIELD, Michigan — A drunken driving crackdown featuring stepped-up patrols kicked off Monday across Michigan, as more than 1,100 bars and restaurants plan to use special drink coasters with a basketball-themed message to promote the use of designated drivers.
The Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning is partnering with the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association on the effort. Officers from police departments, sheriff's offices and state police in 26 counties will conduct the federally funded drunken driving patrols through April 7.
The kickoff of the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign comes a day after the field for the men's NCAA basketball tournament was announced and urges people to "pass the keys." The crackdown also coincides with many high school and college spring break periods and St. Patrick's Day.
"Just remember to ... make the right choices about getting home safely," Michael L. Prince, director of the Office of Highway Safety Planning, said in a statement.
In 2014, more than 2,200 people in Michigan were arrested for drunken driving during the NCAA Tournament time period, official said. More than 450 of those arrests were made by grant-funded law enforcement agencies during last year's stepped-up patrols.
Extra patrols are planned in Allegan, Berrien, Calhoun, Chippewa, Delta, Eaton, Genesee, Grand Traverse, Houghton, Ingham, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kent, Livingston, Macomb, Marquette, Monroe, Muskegon, Oakland, Ottawa, Saginaw, St. Clair, Van Buren, Washtenaw, Wayne and Wexford counties.
Details of planned enforcement efforts are being posted on the state's website to help discourage drunken driving. Such grant-funded enforcement targeting suspected drunken drivers is part of Michigan's Strategic Highway Safety Plan signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2013.

Portable power station.
I want to build a portable power station that runs from a 240V extension cord to the panel that supplies several 120v outlets. Any Ideas and what would I need to complete this
"That's not going to work. A 240v circuit has two hots and a ground. 120v requires a hot, neutral, and ground. "
You just need to run a 4 wire cord (hot, hot, neutral, ground).
Not a big deal at all, though the extra conductor and cost of the cord is liable to negate any advantage from using 240 V.
I could imagine the need for something like this if one was using two, high-draw 120v devices. Although it might be cheaper just to buy two extension cords, which would offer more flexibility.
I was just attempting to point out that for 120v one needs a neutral and a typical 240v circuit doesn't have that. Technically, I don't think you could make such a thing, at least from stuff found at the home center. If I'm not mistaken the components need to be rated for such use and cobbling together a x gang steel box isn't going to cut it. I don't know if something like that could be hardwired into the panel. Probably be a good idea to include GFI protection as well, especially if the cord is going to be used outdoors.
Equipment like this is actually common in industrial use.
If it is going to run hand tools than you can put GFCI receptqcles at the user end.
Any number of 4-conductor cordage is available (and even 5-conductors) since it is used in 3=phase work all the time.
It does have a lower sales volume, and is often hard usage cord making it rather expensive.
The plugs and sockets alone are also expensive (with twist locks being much preferred).
Some 50 foot #10 conductor 120 V cords would likely be cheaper in the long run.

I have several thousand records (stored in in a table in a MYSQL table) that I need to "batch process." All of the records contain a large JSON. In some cases, the JSON is over 1MB (yes, my DB is well over 1GB).
I have a function that grabs a record, decodes the JSON, changes some data, re-encodes the PHP array back to a JSON, and saves it back to the db. Pretty simple. FWIW, this is within the context of a CakePHP app.
Given an array of ID's, I'm attempting to do something like this (very simple mock code):
foreach ($ids as $id) {
$this->Model->id = $id;
$data = $this->Model->read();
$newData = processData($data);
The issue is that, very quickly, PHP runs out of memory. When running a foreach like this, it's almost as if PHP moves from one record to the next, without releasing the memory required for the preceding operations.
Is there anyway to run a loop in such a way that memory is freed before moving on to the next iteration of the loop, so that I can actually process the massive amount of data?
Edit: Adding more code. This function takes my JSON, converts it to a PHP array, does some manipulation (namely, reconfiguring data based on what's present in another array), and replacing values in the the original array. The JSON is many layers deep, hence the extremely long foreach loops.
function processData($theData) {
$toConvert = json_decode($theData['Program']['data'], $assoc = true);
foreach($toConvert['cycles'] as $cycle => $val) {
foreach($toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'] as $day => $val) {
foreach($toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'] as $section => $val) {
foreach($toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'] as $section => $val) {
foreach($toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'][$section]['exercises'] as $exercise => $val) {
if (isset($toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'][$section]['exercises'][$exercise]['selectedFolder'])) {
$folderName = $toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'][$section]['exercises'][$exercise]['selectedFolder']['folderName'];
if ( isset($newFolderList['Folders'][$folderName]) ) {
$toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'][$section]['exercises'][$exercise]['selectedFolder'] = $newFolderList['Folders'][$folderName]['id'];
if (isset($toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'][$section]['exercises'][$exercise]['selectedFile'])) {
$fileName = basename($toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'][$section]['exercises'][$exercise]['selectedFile']['fileURL']);
if ( isset($newFolderList['Exercises'][$fileName]) ) {
$toConvert['cycles'][$cycle]['days'][$day]['sections'][$section]['exercises'][$exercise]['selectedFile'] = $newFolderList['Exercises'][$fileName]['id'];
return $toConvert;
Model->read() essentially just tells Cake to pull a record from the db, and returns it in an array. There's plenty of stuff that's happening behind the scenes, someone more knowledgable would have to explain that.

Removing nails in chair legs
I have 8 wonderful old alder chairs, Windsor style, that I'm refinishing. Someone used the nail-in plastic chair glides, now broken off, leaving nails embedded in the legs. They've worn down to flush with the legs, so I can't grab them with pliers. I want to remove them to put in better glides, as we have a tile floor. Before I start mangling them to try to dig them out, does anyone have a clever approach to this?
Also, several of the seats have separated in the middle (where the wood is edge-laminated). As well as gluing them, is it useful to use a metal strip plate screwed in underneath as support? Or other ideas?
Thanks so much!
I use a tool sometimes called a painter's tool. It has a sharp edge that is useful for prying.
As far as what to put in now, I recommend Safe-Glides.
When you put on metal "mending plates," you are constraining normal wood movement. In the end, the wood wins; you cannot control it, only allow for it. When the wood expands or contracts seasonally, it will either create a new crack at the point of greatest weakness, or blow out the screws. A good glue joint (by cleaning the existing glue out first) is all you should need.
Can you simply drill a new hole next to it and use that for the new glides? It's going to be impossible to grip the flush pin without removing some wood to the sides to get a grip. They sell some kind of miniature holesaw for jobs like this, but then you will have a new task; filling that hole. Which you could do with a dowel of the right size and some glue. A second hole adjacent is a relatively easier fix.
If you are putting on new glides, can you just leave the nails in place? If not, what you will need to remove the nails is a small (1/4") chisel and a needle-nosed Visegrip. Very carefully shave down the wood that surrounds the nailhead on all sides so that you have a small crater surrounding the nailhead and you have the top 1/16" or so of the head exposed. Then use the Vise grip set as tight as you can get it to lock on to the nailhead. Once it is firmly clamped on, just rotate the tool down against the wood to apply leverage to the nailhead. If you do it just right, it will pull up the head a little bit. Then reset the Visegrip lower on the exposed head and repeat the process. After a couple times of doing this, the naill should be out.

McSWEENEY'S ISSUE 45
An ancient meteor attempts to reassemble itself on the banks of Lake Michigan; a pig encounters the divine; and a couple discovers that their landlord owns a dollhouse inhabited by tiny people. Culled from old anthologies edited by Alfred Hitchcock and Ray Bradbury, this quarterly features BRAIN-BLISTERING fiction from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. These stories confound, astound, and hurtle toward the brink of UNREALITY. Alongside these classics are four FRESH, contemporary stories that we believe Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Bradbury would have regarded fondly. These tales cause TEETH TO CHATTER and HEARTS TO ARREST. Their authors are intrepid explorers, forever plumbing the ABYSS OF THE UNKNOWN. Their writing interrupts life's complacent rhythms and reminds us of the MAGICAL, the INEXPLICABLE. Take this book. Wake up. The world is a dream all around you.

Thank you Randy for another wonderful experience at Otter Creek. We had a wonderful time and again, your hospitality was outstanding and we are already looking forward to the next time we get to visit you!!!
5 on February 18, 2015
We were greeted at the door and instantly treated like an old friend coming to visit. Even though there are other rooms, we felt as though we had the whole place to ourselves. They have thought of everything from providing corkscrews for wine bottles to an excellent selection of older movies to the ability to dim the lights for a romantic setting by the fireplace or in the hot tub. I will be recommending Otter Creek Inn to all of my friends as well as planning another stay myself.

The room was nice, clean and very relaxing. Randy was very helpful and pleasant. We would recommend the Otter Creek Inn to anyone.

This was the second time my wife and I have celebrated her birthday at Otter Creek Inn. Even though we live only a few miles away we enjoy the owners and the scenery! It always seems like we are not in the same town. Love the place and will go back again.

We have now stayed in five of their six rooms and all of them have been enjoyable. Our favorite part is that they allow you to choose your breakfast from a menu each morning rather than only eating what the owners decide upon for you like other bed and breakfasts. There are multiple delicious entrees, sides, and beverages to choose from, and we have never been hungry afterwards. The variety you can create for your own personal breakfast is great. We have always chosen to have our breakfast served to our room (and you can also pick the time from three options) which is another feature not always given at bed and breakfasts. Great place; we already have our next stay lined up. Other excellent features: -Whirlpool in every room; can't go wrong there. -Great open living room area to sit and relax. -Beautiful garden/lawn area in summer to sit in and walk around. -Semi-secluded area to be away from the main city and among the trees, while also off of a main highway to get to other places easily. -Owners Shelley and Randy are very friendly and helpful; they give excellent restaurant recommendations for the area.

Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and attractively served on a tray at our door. We were tired from traveling and appreciated the option of having breakfast in bed, which was luxuriously appointed with many pillows.Although we arrived a bit after the required check-in time, the innkeeper met us a the door with a warm welcome and graciously provided all the information we needed for our stay. He also gave us a tour of the inn and was most helpful with finding a good local restaurant.

Amazing property with lots of special touches!

We were very impressed on this, our first stay at the Otter Creek Inn. The accommodations were great, the rooms were beautiful, clean and comfortable, the service was exemplary and the staff were very nice. We fully expect to come and stay again. I would highly recommend The Otter Creek Inn to anyone looking for a quiet and very nice place to get away from it all. THANKS OTTER CREEK INN!

Cardinals race past Mavericks
LUVERNE -- Even with four costly fumbles, the Luverne Cardinals advanced to the semifinal round of the Section 3AA football playoffs with a 27-6 victory over Martin County West Tuesday night.
"We turned the ball over four times, so we played pretty sloppy," Luverne quarterback Jeremy Hoff said. "We have a lot of heart, and we can get through that stuff, hopefully."

Long, Gholston show why they're the top defensive linemen
Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay has the buzz from Day 5 of the NFL combine, including Chris Long and Vernon Gholston solidified their spots as the top defensive linemen.
The position-specific drills were where Long did his best work, showing outstanding body control, fluid hips and sound technique. While Long's 40-yard dash time of 4.78 seconds is hardly jaw-dropping, it is competitive for a 6-foot-3, 272-pound end, especially considering his 10-yard split was among the best at his position. Long's 34-inch vertical and 10-feet-4-inch broad jumps also ranked among the top-three defensive linemen.
