Noisebridge 3D Printing for Beginners
The focus of this page is on understand the layout of Noisebridge, getting beginners up to speed. If you are interested in adding to this group you can contact Romyilano
Rough Draft
Noisebridge 3D Printing workspace
The Noisebridge 3D printing workspace is in the "front" next to the HackerStackers. I was just informed by a friendly Noisebridge member that they are shifting the space around and expanding it. It is sort of taking over the side corner and leaking out the way that Manhattan's china town is eating up little italy. There are no hard feelings and it is all good vibes.
3D Printer Hardware at Noisebridge
_I'm going to start out with a rough draft, linking existing highly excellent existing Noisebridge wiki pages that already exist. I was actually pretty surprised at how extensive and friendly some of the 3D printing pages were--the only thing is they just aren't all consolidated in one place -- Romyilano
RepRap Wiki Page
RepRap is the open-source 3D printer and should always get first priority. Many of the great 3D printing private companies springing up now that the 3D systems patents are expiring have lifted their designs directly off the open source RepRap community.
This page is out of date. I will do my best to update it
- I see remnants of a RepRap party at Noisebridge
- RepRap might be a challenge for beginners - the community does have a right to feel a little under siege and exploited, and these are intense hobbyists who might be like the comic book guy in the Simpsons. However, I have had mostly good experiences with RepRap people when I hung out at the TS in San Jose.
- Like all open source projects, the emphasis might be not so much on easy usable great products that are simple.
Makerbot Wiki Page
Really one of the friendliest! I'm not sure what's going on because the last update from May 2013 says that the Makerbot is no longer working but we have seen people use it. It's also confusing because there is more than one MakerBot 3D printer... I think ther eare fouro f them, one of them is labelled Peter K Suk so I'm worried about messing with it because it might belong to someone.
Up! 3D printer
This is an easy to use 3D printer. They are from China and have been extremely aggressive about hiring people from the hacker community to evangelize, but I haven't seen people be very open about this. They have good firmware, it is produced by elite university students. They are not part of the open source community.
- Update june 2013 - I think this thing is broken. There is a message not to mess with it. Do not mess with the UP! printer or its boyfriend will come back and whup your ass!
- I do not feel like doing free documentation for a private company that is giving checks to hackers. if someone is into that you can do it.
Type A! Machines
Nice 3D printers produced in the Bay Area. They visit noisebridge a lot - I feel since it is a private company with noisebridge connections it is in their best interest to handle all their documentation, marketing, training themselves. If you want to do this free work then erase this entry and start wiki-ing away. I'm not really going to do free work for this. They are nice people and they need to do this if they want to become a successful scalable business.
- we only have early prototypes of a Type A machine so far. it is mysterious, on its side.
- (total rumor) I heard a rumor that there was money donated for a new type a machine but it is not here yet. somebody totally confirm this rumor so that i am not gossipping.
3D printing Software
You don't have to actually work with the 3D printers at noisebridge to get started. A big mistake a lot of beginners do that I see is getting overly obsessed with learning the CAD 3D software and then giving up. I recommend doing that stuff at home and then focusing on doing the 3D printing hardware when you are the space.
Software: 3D printer Drivers
3D printers need drivers. Think of the printer driver that you download and use to print on your laser printer or inkjet printer. If only you could get software drivers for online dates but--whoops that was unprofessional.
Luckily the open source community has provided many great 3D printer drivers. These are also called firmware.
=3D printing Guide
Full disclosure: I am thinking about making a 3D printing guide printed as a zine or book. This could possibly be offered as a tangible object so that people could give donations to Noisebridge or sudoRoom but I haven't fleshed out the details yet. At least i'm being honest!
Good Patterns
- Getting beginners up and running
- Explaining really dumb and obvious things like "how to turn on the printer" - for some reason a lot of smart 3D printing companies do not feel it's important to do this. =D
- Updating the equipment list so that even beginners can figure out what is going on
- Too much discussion of private funding / someone's private or non profit 3D printing project business
- Endless videos of neat 3D printing projects by the military, governmental organizations, multibillion dollar corporations. This is a good way not to learn 3D printing. trust me, we have all been there.

Google Chicago
At Google Chicago, our engineers develop products used by people around the world, and our sales teams help advertisers big and small engage their target markets. We don't shy from the heavy lifting - pretty fitting, in the City of Big Shoulders.
Hangout On Air: Engineering at Google Chicago
Lead recruiter Jeff Moore chats with Chicago engineers Brian "Fitz" Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman in a Hangout on Air hosted by the Life at Google Google+ page. They cover everything from the history of the Chicago office to the types engineering work happening in the Windy City during this 30 minute conversation.
Our advertising and enterprise sales teams work with some of the biggest companies in the world, and our online sales and operations teams help small and medium-sized businesses grow using Google products.
Our engineers have developed products like Google Web Server, DoubleClick, the Google Affiliate Network, Google+ Analytics, the Data Liberation Front and the Transparency Report.
We show up regularly on the Crain's Chicago Business list of the best places to work in Chicago.

Inside Google Chicago
Birthplace of Chicago blues and house music, home to the world's first skyscraper and controlled nuclear reaction (mad props to Enrico Fermi), our city has a history of creativity and innovation. At Google Chicago, we do our very best to keep the tradition alive.
Our sales teams work with businesses of all sizes, including some of the world's largest advertisers and agencies, helping them reach target audiences and be more productive. And our engineers develop products like Google Web Server, DoubleClick, the Google Affiliate Network, Google+ Analytics, the Data Liberation Front, the Transparency Report and Google Code.
We have the critical mass to drive core sales and product initiatives. At the same time, we're encouraged to solve problems without jumping through bureaucratic hoops, and everyone here has a voice that matters, from VPs to Nooglers.
When we're not in meetings or online, we keep the creativity flowing by making art with paintball guns or constructing elaborate "blox" structures. Behold the mystery and grandeur of Bloxhenge. And with local beer and chocolate tastings and live jazz, our weekly Thursday IIFYs ("is it Friday yet?") are a cut above your typical all-hands meeting.
"Make no little plans," said Daniel Henry Burnham, architect of the 1893 World's Colombian Exposition, which made Chicago famous. "Make big plans; aim high in hope and work." At Google Chicago, we follow his advice every day. So much so that we even have Burnham's signature Plan for Chicago available on Google Books.
Our engineers build global products. Our sales teams work with global clients. We get everything that's great about Google, and we get to be in Chicago.
- Jim Lecinski, VP of Sales
Google Chicago: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Chicago different from other Google locations?
Imagine a Windy City version of Google, and that's pretty much what you'll find here. We're in the heart of the city in the Near North Side, just a few minutes' walk from the Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park and the Chicago River (yes, they dye it green for St. Patrick's Day). Our top floor has amazing views of the city, and our office is as Googley as they come, with awesome free food, exercise balls, beanbag chairs and enormous Google logos made of stained glass, paintball ink and bloxes. As one of the largest Google offices in the US, we're home to many company leaders.
What kinds of work do Chicago Googlers do?
On the business side, we have significant advertising and enterprise sales teams serving large clients as well as online sales and operations teams serving more locally focused small and medium-sized businesses. On the technology side, our engineers develop products like Google Web Server (the proprietary Linux-based platform for all of our Search products), DoubleClick, the Google Affiliate Network, Google+ Analytics (which helps businesses optimize their social efforts), the Data Liberation Front (which gives users control over their data) and the Transparency Report (including Traffic and Government Requests).
Has Google Chicago launched any notable products?
Yep, we built Google Code (our site for developers) and the Data Liberation Front, including Google Takeout. Want to check out the brushwork on the Mona Lisa or Grant Wood's American Gothic? We're also responsible for portions of the Art Project bringing the collections of museums including the Louvre and the Art Institute of Chicago online.
How do Chicago Googlers have fun?
Every summer, we have an enormous picnic for all our Googlers, their families and guests. We have holiday parties at cool venues like the Museum of Modern Art, and our team off-sites include activities like sailing, skiing, and sausage-making (pretty much the perfect choice here in the land of da Bulls, da Bears and da Google). We have an awesome game room, with everything from Xboxes and Wiis to foosball to a robot that plays ping pong. We enter a float in the annual Pride Parade. We've had notable visitors like our mayor, Rahm Emanuel, and chef Rick Bayless. We've had Lollapalooza acts like DJ White Shadow and Cold War Kids perform in our office. And the Google Web Server team has driven across the country in an RV (checkout their roadtrip blog here).
What does Google Chicago do to build relationships with the local community?
We support the local branch of the National Society of Black Engineers, National Engineers Week, National Lab Day and Girls in Engineering Day, and help judge the FIRST Robotics Competition. We participate in Chicago Ideas Week and high school science fair workshops, and support computer science teachers via our CS4HS initiative. We provide space and resources to non-profit tech incubators, and host or co-host events including ORD Camp, the Parent Internet Safety Workshop and the Internet Bootcamp for Your Business. And we are big supporters of the Museum of Science and Industry.
Are there any notable Chicago Googlers?
We're home to Google's president of sales in the Americas, Margo Georgiadis. Several of our Googlers have been named to the Crain's Chicago Business 40 Under 40 list, including engineering manager Brian Fitzpatrick and Sales Director Sam Sebastian. And sales managing director Jim Lecinski wrote Winning the Zero Moment of Truth.

Making a dairy big difference
Making a dairy big difference
While it's not June, it's always in season to promote dairy.
The Young Dairy Leaders Institute began in 1994 with its first class of young leaders. Some class participants were dairy producers, while others work in the dairy industry. Currently, Class VII is just over midway through the program. This phase of the program is the "outreach" portion where class members develop and implement an advocacy action plan in their local communities.
Katie Davis, a class VII member, completed her advocacy project last weekend. It centered around Wisconsin Dells' biggest yearly event, the Wo-Zha-Wa fall festival. The Dells is known as the "Waterpark capital of the world" and is a major tourist attraction with many visitors from the Chicago area. She organized a group of producers and their families to participate in the parade, distribute cheese sticks and coloring books to children, and was on hand after the parade to answer questions about the dairy industry and milk. Donations of cheese, coloring books, educational dairy material, as well as financial contributions came from local agri-businesses.
While sporting t-shirts reading "From our family to yours", the volunteers wanted to emphasize that families are operating dairy farms. They distributed cheese sticks to 2,000 children. Their parade entry showcased three calves (Red & White, Jersey, and Holstein) in a wagon, a tractor, a farm truck and trailer, and Katie leading a Holstein cow. Katie commented, "I was prepared for the sounds of the band and clowns running around everywhere. What I wasn't prepared for was the crowd of about 10,000 people CLAPPING for us and children "mooo-ing" and screaming about the cows. That is the closest that many of the visitors had ever been to a cow. What an awesome experience!"
Not only did Katie bring dairy closer to consumers, she was able to pool the resources of other dairy farm families in the area to help achieve a goal. In addition to Katie and her husband, Chris' family, other producers included the Williams Family, The Leege Family, the Walker family, the Madland family, the Heinze family, the Nelson family were part of the weekend festivities. After this experience, this group of producers saw the value of promotion in their home area. They now have organized a local dairy promotion group and look forward to planning similar events in the future.
While it is no longer June, dairy promotion is a year-round commitment. Thanks to the efforts of all dairy promoters like Katie for making a dairy difference.

Cheap hotels in Near Gare du Nord, Brussels
The two options for exiting Gare du Nord, the city's northern train station, afford radically different first impressions. Take the Bolivar exit, and you'll find yourself in a garden of 1960s high rises. Take the Aarschot exit, and you're in the shady red light district, which borders the commercial thoroughfare of the Middle Eastern communities.
This neighborhood has its share of budget hotels, as well as mid-price shopping centers and cheap eateries. The highlight is the Botanic Garden, a green oasis amidst office buildings and heavy traffic. The garden also has a famous concert venue. From Gare du Nord, the Grand Place is a 20-minute walk south.

I like this jersey
Not Flashy, but classy
Last edited by NYk_Reloaded718; Jul 19, 2012 at 15:20.
Is it just me, or would anyone else like to see us have sme kind of alternative jersey? Something in Orange or Black, I've always wanted to see that
this, to me, would be the ultimate NYK jersey:
i'm not sure where i even found this image, maybe on a UK site,
but me want one.
The new Bklyn Nets jerseys have to be the worst in the NBA.
I'm not a fan of the V-cut pattern in the front, but I like the jerseys overall. It's a classic color combination and the numbers and letters don't try to do too much.
Helluva lot better than anything they had in Jersey.
At the same time, overall, their look feels like it's missing something. I love that it's clean-cut and direct, but it just needs maybe one little thing, I can't quite put my toes on it. Maybe a third color as an accent would do it.
I LOVE the straight line on the back, separating the name and number fields. That's a great look.
the Brooklynette's uni's look like hospital gowns, perfect for scrubs.
FYI - Those Nets jerseys aren't official.

Full name: Madeleine Marie Stowe Mora
Date of birth: August 18, 1958
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Education: University of Southern California
Husband: Actor Brian Benben
Children: One daughter, May (Born in 1996)
Bet you didn't know... Before she became famous, Madeleine pretended to be a reporter just so she could meet John Travolta.
Veteran actress Madeleine Stowe grew up in Eagle Rock, a working-class suburb of L.A. She trained to be a concert pianist for eight years (from age 10 to 18), but she gave it up when her teacher passed away. She was discovered in the late '70s at the Beverly Hills theater Solaris, where she did volunteer performances when not busy with her cinema and journalism studies at USC.
After a decade of mostly forgettable roles, she started landing juicy parts opposite some of Hollywood's most recognizable stars. Madeleine's movie credits include roles in Stakeout (with Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez), Revenge (with Kevin Costner), Unlawful Entry (with Kurt Russell), The Last of the Mohicans (with Daniel Day-Lewis), China Moon (with Ed Harris), 12 Monkeys (with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt), Playing by Heart (with Sean Connery and Ryan Phillippe), The Proposition (with Kenneth Branagh), Impostor (with Gary Sinise), We Were Soldiers (with Mel Gibson), and Avenging Angelo (with Sylvester Stone).
After a brief hiatus from movie-making, she's hit the small screen as the imperious Victoria Grayson on Revenge.
Madeleine has been married to Private Practice actor Brian Benben, whom she met while filming Gangster Wars, since the early '80s. The couple has one daughter, May, born in 1996. When not filming, they spend their time on their ranch in Texas.

Thank you Michael it's good to see them working on Full Support
Phoronix: Rasterman: Enlightenment To Have Full Wayland Support
Carsten Haitzler, a.k.a. "Rasterman" and known for his work on the Enlightenment window manager / desktop, has provided some new comments on Enlightenment's planned support for Wayland...
Thank you Michael it's good to see them working on Full Support
He doesn't mention which version of E will have full WL support.
he pointed out the Wiki and it says
[Enlightenment 0.18]
Complete support for rendering Wayland Client applications inside the existing X11 Compositor
Provides a Wayland Shell for use by Wayland Client applications
Current work is progressing toward a Wayland-Only version
so maybe E19?
"Rasterman also recommends Phoronix readers check out their Wayland Wiki page about the topic, but as of publishing it hasn't been updated in about two months."
And yet, on the wiki page itself, it says:
"Last updated 47 days ago by devilhorns."
47 days is little over a month .... but I guess "About two months" is close enough, tho to me 2 months sounds overly long
At any rate, yes E18 already supports running Wayland Client applications inside the existing X11 compositor. This means you can run things like Weston Terminal without the need for running Weston itself. E18's default compositor will handle it.
With regard to a Wayland Only version, it is progressing yes. There are still some things that need to be ported over (such as E internal dialogs), and there are some things that will either need changes in the core wayland protocol, or perhaps an extension to the protocol in order to facilitate a more complete desktop experience.
There will be an announcement made when I have the wayland-only version complete enough for people to start testing, don't worry
Full Wayland support?
I approve of this.

A distinction between iterative model-based methods, k-nearest neighbor methods and miscellaneous methods is made. However, often the criteria for using a method depend on the scale of the data, which in official statistics are typically a mixture of continuous, semi-continuous, binary, categorical and count variables. In addition, measurement errors may corrupt non-robust imputation methods.

Last time a bitch checked, Rush had surrendered the moral authority to comment on anything illegal.
However, a reader was kind enough to forward this link regarding Rush Limbaugh's on-air foot-in-mouth statement that the victim in the Duke gang rape case was a 'ho'.
Now, this bitch can't stand Rush...and every time his name is mentioned a bitch is forced to ponder why the fuck he isn't in jail.
Well, why isn't that motherfucker in jail?
Why is a man who was caught up in a massive illegal oxycontin doctor shopping scandal still on the air and not rotting in a federal prison?
A bitch is beyond curious.
My ass just wants to know Rush's secret…how does one get away with illegal...totally illegal...not legal on any level and other people are in jail for hording pills like that...so illegal that a bitch was convinced he was selling that shit on the side...behavior only to pop up like a resistant yeast infection on national radio absolving grown assed student athletes of their illegal behavior at Duke...because the victim was...what was the word...a 'ho'?
The criminal mind is fascinating and capable of all manner of justifications, isn't it Rush?
Fucking asshole...

Maybe if someone raped Rush... What a revolting waste of oxygen that man is. I shudder looking at his picture. And you know, even if the woman WAS a ho (and I'm not saying she is) even ho's don't deserve rape. Ever. Why won't Rush just go the fuck away already?
- flamingbanjo said...
Hey now, give the guy a break. He's lost most of his hearing! It's not that he won't listen to reason, it's that he's physically incapable of doing so!
Mouth still seems to work fine, though. - 5:48 PM
Why isn't Rush in jail for a drug-related crime that would've put any black teenaged first-time offender into the clink unti the building rotted around him?
Four little words:
Rich white Republican lobbyist. - 5:51 PM
- CP said...
It's the old boys club, Bitch. It's not what you know, it's WHO you know. The man sickens me. He is an old gasbag who flatulates through his mouth.
The dancer who was raped and assaulted was "a ho"? Really? Hm.
Then I suppose that makes Rush a morphine addict, correct?
I don't normally wish ill will on people ABB, but he is one man that I wouldn't mind denting my Ford Contour over. Serious.
- CP said...
Hey, is it a complete coincidence that the caller who attempted to blast him for that statement was named "A.B."...or is there something you want to tell me?? Hm???
- j said...
Sing it, Sista!!
That man is a mess, I tell you. Thank you, Rush, for reminding us that if a woman is an exotic dancer, or any other kinda "ho," she deserves anything she gets from spoiled, over-privileged, immoral, white boys. Idiot. - 6:26 PM
- Me said...
Oh lord! I wonder about this too. And the thing that amazes me is how many people still love him, especially in my small town.
What does he have some secret potion??? - 6:28 PM
what. the. fuck?
An ABB each day.....
I've been bitching about Rush Limpballs since the early 90's.
He was a crook in Kansas City and he is a crook now.
However Limpballs is rich ABB and I still sweat the end of the month. Who's right?
Does freedom mean shyster? Am I just a fool? I'm confused.
Her Bitchitude's worthless subject...
Special Anon. - 8:28 PM
- CrankyProf said...
I HATE that knowing, smarmy little smirk that seems permanently affixed to his face.
My theory is that those big cigars he's constantly chomping are a compensation for "shortcomings" -- professional and personal. - 7:44 AM
- Dragon Lady said...
I'm completely sickened and disgusted. What kills me the most is that these people who listen to him, well surely they have mothers, sisters, and daughters. What if their relative was raped by some priveledged pricks? They don't think that their child would suddenly be a "ho". Or is she only a "ho" that doesn't matter because she is black?
The worst part was that he said that he regretted that people heard him say it. He wouldn't have regretted thinking it or saying it off the air. Fuck this excuse making assbag. - 1:07 PM
- TBLJ said...
Rush does not care about women especially black women. Also if you look at the transcript he is only apologizing because the callers heard him say it.
One of the issues at hand here is also who gets to speak. Who gets heard and why. We are innudated by physchos like Rush because he gets to speak. He gets to call a woman a whore and basically gets away with it. He gets to hoard drugs and gets away with it. In this country today there are still people who believe that if a woman gets raped she asks for it. Making her responsible for the rapist's action.This relieves the rapist of all responsiblity and further relieves men of their responsibilites.Responsibility for many thins which should not rest on women's shoulders are place there by this system in which we live.
- Ancrene Wiseass said...
Nancy and CP are absolutely right: Rush is not in jail because he's a rich, white Republican man. Plain and simple. He has friends who can pull strings for him.
And that's precisely why he's so sympathetic to the mindset of those Duke lacrosse players that he feels secure in dismissively calling the dancer a "ho" and asserting that she only "got what she deserved." Because he, too, is absolutely reeking with a sense of entitlement. That's the source of that nasty, smug little smile on his face too: this man believes wholeheartedly that the world is and should remain his oyster.
And our society has done very little to tell him otherwise, despite his own criminal behavior. - 6:15 PM
saddest thing is, that Rush probably got raped or something similar happened to him that turned him into this idividual who has lost his soul.
I mean what has happened to these people that turns them into horrible creatures that most thinking folks can't stand? - 6:52 PM
- Txfeminist said...
he is a disgusting pig. it made me so happy when he got called on the carpet for that remark on national tv. whoever called in , deserves a medal.... and why is it that we can't see a breast, because that would be "obscene", but it's not considered obscene to fill the airways with hate messages? Grrrr....
- Jeff said...
He is evil and must be destroyed. Preferably by flaying alive.

screw blogger, btw. (www.correntewire.com)
rush: total waste of humanity. but we all know that, n'est pas? that drug infested closet case isn't worth my attention anymore than any thinking kindergarten student's.
but, fun blog. OT iraq isn't a video game. and i say why. or rather, my and mr. cole do. but i have a reason to as well. very nice blog, ABB. i'll be around again. will you be at the vegas kos thing in j?
In Saudi Arabia, the home of Wahhabi Islam, Shias are known as rafida, which means "rejectionists." A highly pejorative term, it implies that Shias are outside Islam, and to Shias it is the equivalent of being called "nigger." - 8:37 PM
- L said...
He is truly an evil scumbag.... and it's amazing how many others are echoing his sentiments
- gronce said...
He is a mofo misogynistic piece of crap!!!
I too have wondered how he managed to elude the sanctity of jail. - 8:12 AM
- Maxjulian said...
You will knoweth the liliputian cum racist when he speaketh. As Frances Cress Welsing posits, the person who needs an inferior, in fact, FEELS inferior. If a person has to create and verbally dunk a race of niggas in the gutter in order to feel superior, its only cuz psychically, his ass is already treading water in the goop. He be the REAL HO! Rush Limbaugh - racist cheerleader for hire - appeals to the gutter dweller in all true butterball crackas: they hate our black/brown/yellow/red skin because on the QT, they hate their own. 'They wanna be me.'

When are people of color going to stop bitching and moaning and truly do something meaningful towards gaining freedom, finally?
I am burnt out on the name calling, begging and praying to religious pimps that claim to be insiders to a so-called god that's blond and blue eyed for our collective redemption.
Its been proven that the black female is the mother to all humanity(genomic research)and as a black male I am ashamed of the fact that once more I am showned to be impotent in my ability to protect you from the ravages of this environment. Yet I pride myself on being a pimp and/or hustler. A social predator! - 9:41 AM

Midwest Living Review
From the Nashville House's folksy Old Country Store to the rustic dining room's sought-after fried biscuits and baked apple butter, the accent here is on old-time pleasures. Entrees like the country fried chicken or the baked Hoosier ham (very thin!) are decent, if distinctly pricey at $17.95 (a couple of serviceable sides and fried biscuits included). But settling back in the wooden captain's chairs to enjoy the rough-hewn wooden posts and beams of the dining room, the dripping-with-character antiques, the vintage hill-country atmosphere is worth something, too. Nor does rustic equal coarse; the napkins and classic red-check table coverings are cloth, and the gleaming wooden walls showcase art from Nashville's thriving community of artists. If you're as happy with the setting as with how they set the table, the Nashville House is worth a stop.

Smith Fuel v.2 Sweat X Goggles $0.00
Reviews & Community
What do you think of the
Smith Fuel v.2 Sweat X Goggles
? Share a...
Andrew Swindle
Good design, poor execution.
I'm a huge Smith Optics fan. They have been getting it done for years. This is the first product from Smith that I wasn't entirely stoked on. The design and fit was great, but the foam along the forehead was pretty cheap and started to flake off the goggle when I put them on for the first time.
Chad Cordell
Great Fit
This is my second pair of Fuel goggles. After having great success with Smith ski goggles I decided to give these a try for mountain biking. The fit is great with Troy Lee and Giro full face helmets. They also breathe very well and I have had no issues with fogging. On the first pair the strap became faded, but this was after 2 summers of use.

A special meeting of the Doña Ana County/Las Cruces Extraterritorial Zoning Commission will be held from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, May 9, 2000, in the lobby of the County Manager's Complex at 180 W. Amador Ave.
A Tuesday evening disturbance in the Medical Unit of the Doña Ana County Detention Center is being blamed on a combination of a defective cell lock and improper adherence to procedural controls, both of which were taken advantage of by Jesse Avalos in the Medical Unit.
The Extra-territorial Zoning Commission (ETZ) will host a public hearing at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 4, 2000, in the Commission Chambers of the Doña Ana County Courthouse to discuss and receive public comment on the final draft of a comprehensive plan for the extra-territorial zone that is co-governed by Doña Ana County and the City of Las Cruces.
Doña Ana County is seeking applicants who are willing to serve on the Planning & Zoning Commission, and the application deadline has been extended to May 5.

Left-hander J.A. Happ, who was put on the disabled list with lower back tightness, appears to be ready for a return to the majors.
But will he return to the rotation or be put in the bullpen?
Happ pitched 4 2/3 innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits in his second minor league rehabilitation start.
"The whole goal is to get up to the amount of pitches I need and feel healthy doing it," said Happ, who struck out six and walked two as 63 of his 90 pitches were strikes. "Tonight, that's where I was at. I'm ready to take it to the next step and try to get big-league hitters out. It's good to get some confidence back and know that I'm physically able to handle the workload."
Happ struck out five batters in five innings with Class A Dunedin on Saturday against Clearwater. He also allowed two runs on three hits in that outing, his first rehab assignment.
Right-hander Dustin McGowan took Happ's spot in the rotation after he tried to gu through the injury in spring training.
"It was frustrating to not get results and not feel good and battle through that," Happ said. "It's good to get some confidence back and know that I'm physically able to handle the workload. It's now two starts where the pitch count's kind of full, so I feel good about it now."
"He was pretty good, much better than I saw in spring training," Bisons manager Gary Allenson said. "One of the raps on him is he throws too many pitches per inning. He got ahead for the most part, and he got a few guys to chase the high fastball with two strikes. I'd like to see him bounce a breaking ball now and then. You might get guys to chase something in the dirt."
Where he will have is next outing remains to be seen. But Happ sees himself as a starter.
"I haven't prepared to be in the bullpen," he said. "I've prepared to be a starter all offseason. The plan was to get right and get healthy. Hopefully things take care of themselves."
Where and in what role Happ pitches next could depend on how McGowan does Friday in his second start of the season in Baltimore.

The Enterprise battles a Romulan ship suspected of destroying outposts near the neutral zone.
Despite indications that Earth Outpost 2 and 3 have disappeared, Captain Kirk is officiating at a wedding between two crew members, Angela Martine and Robert Tomlinson. Everyone is all smiles when suddenly a klaxon interrupts the ceremony. Outpost 4 is under attack and the wedding ceremony is cut short as everyone runs to battle stations.
Act One
In the vicinity of the Romulan Neutral Zone, the Enterprise investigates. An unknown assailant is methodically destroying each of the Earth Outposts bordering the Neutral Zone. Spock explains that the Romulan Neutral Zone was put into place after the Earth-Romulan War over a century ago. Neither race has had contact with the other since that time. And one hundred years ago there were not even two-way visual communications, so neither side knows what the other looks like. Kirk then tells the crew that while defense is permitted, any act of aggression by the Federation would be considered an act of war by the Romulans. Starfleet Command's orders are that if the situation becomes a choice between their survival or provoking a full-scale war with the Romulans, the Enterprise and its crew are to be considered expendable.
Lieutenant Stiles is willing to intercept and attack Romulan vessels, but after a century, no one even knows what a Romulan ship would look like. Stiles shares his knowledge of (and prejudice against) Romulans, since a number of his relatives died in the Earth-Romulan war a century ago. "Their war," says Kirk. "Not yours."
Earth Outposts 2 and 3 are found to be destroyed, and the Enterprise briefly contacts Outpost 4. The sole survivor of Outpost 4 describes a powerful blast of energy from a ship they couldn't track. The survivor reports that the ship is making another pass at them -- and the viewing screen goes blank.
Spock tries to track the unknown ship but cannot pinpoint its location. He theorizes that the Romulans have some form of invisibility shield. Since the Romulan ship is moving in a leisurely manner, Kirk theorizes that ship may not be aware of the Enterprise. Spock also reports that the ship is heading back towards the Romulan Neutral Zone, towards home.
Despite objections from Stiles, Kirk orders a parallel course, instead of an intercept course. By matching the unknown ship's course and speed, he hopes to make the Enterprise seem like an echo, and under no circumstances are they to enter into the Romulan Neutral Zone without a direct order from Kirk. Then Stiles shocks everyone by declaring there could be Romulan spies on board Enterprise. Kirk gives the order to maintain a security alert.
Uhura picks up a communication signal. Spock is able to tie into the Romulan ship and the Enterprise crew get their first look at the Romulans. Stiles notices out loud the Romulan's physical resemblance to Spock.
Act Two
Attempts to interpret the Romulan signals are hampered by Stiles, who says Spock should have no trouble with them. Kirk tells him that he hopes Stiles refers to Spock's skill at decryption and orders him, "Leave any bigotry in your quarters; there's no room for it on the bridge."
Meanwhile on the bridge of the Romulan ship, the Romulan Commander has noticed the Enterprise following them. On board the Romulan ship, the Commander confers with someone known as the Centurion, much as Kirk would confer with another officer on the ethics of their mission; exposing the weakness of the Federation while risking interplanetary war. A Romulan officer named Decius reports to the Commander as ordered. The Commander rebukes Decius for his carelessness in dispatching a coded subspace message, violating orders for radio silence. The commander reduces Decius two steps in rank and dismisses him. His trusted Centurion warns the Commander that Decius has powerful friends who could be dangerous and that he should be careful. The Romulan Captain quietly expresses distaste for the mission to the Centurion, mirroring Kirk and Spock. The Romulan Captain believes it is only a politically motivated attack, but they are Romulan officers, and they will complete their mission, come what may.
Kirk holds a conference and Scotty and Spock show how the outpost's protective shields were reduced to crumbling by the unknown Romulan weapon. Scotty reports that the Romulan ship has no warp power. Stiles declares that the Enterprise has to attack. Since the Romulan ship is on the Federation side of the Romulan Neutral Zone, there would be no doubt that the Romulans broke the treaty. Stiles claims that running would only guarantee war, and his bigotry emerges in his arguments as he claims that that the Romulans would attack with full force. Stiles also openly accuses Spock of being an 'expert' in Romulans and purposely hiding that fact from the rest of the crew.
Spock agrees with Stiles in that if the Romulans are an offshoot of the Vulcan people who have not learned to choose logic over emotions, they are more dangerous than Kirk realizes and that attacking is the logical choice. After a moment, Kirk gives the order to attack.
Act Three
Following the Romulan ship's path into a comet's tail, Kirk orders the Enterprise to jump forward and intercept the Romulan ship on the other side. The Romulan Commander gives the order for the Romulan ship to double back to intercept the Enterprise. Each ship fails to intercept the other and both commanders reflect on the other's intelligence.
A barrage of phaser fire damages the Romulan ship. The Centurion pushes the Romulan Commander out of the way of falling debris but is fatally injured himself. Meanwhile the phaser circuits on the Enterprise burn out as the Romulan ship fires its primary weapon. Kirk orders full astern and as the Enterprise backs up, they find that the weapon has a range limit which causes the shot to partially dissipate, resulting in reduced impact.
Determined to prevent the Romulan ship from reentering the Romulan Neutral Zone, Kirk orders another barrage of phaser fire. Unable to stop the Romulan ship, and aware of the consequences, Kirk orders the Enterprise into the Romulan Neutral Zone. Displaying restrained emotion as his friend dies, the Romulan Commander orders all debris and, sadly, the body of his friend into the escape chute as a decoy. The Enterprise picks up the debris on the sensors but in doing so, loses track of the Romulan ship.
Act Four
It has come down to a waiting game and both ships have powered down in the Romulan Neutral Zone to prevent detection. While making repairs, Spock accidentally activates a panel, and the Romulan ship detects the Enterprise and moves in to attack. Kirk anticipates this and manages to fire on the Romulan ship. Furious, the Romulan Commander orders more debris into the disposal tubes, including a nuclear warhead.
Spock picks up the 'metal cased object' on his sensors and the Enterprise fires upon it (probably thinking it would cause a low grade detonation). The massive explosion causes damage to the Enterprise but despite now having the upper hand, the Romulan Commander decides to head for home.
Scotty reports that while phasers are operational, only Tomlinson, the groom from the wedding, is manning the station. Stiles quotes his experience with phasers and Kirk sends him down to assist. In attempt to lure the Romulan ship back, the Enterprise plays 'dead'.
Despite his reservations, and the crippled status of his ship, the Romulan Commander is reminded by a crewman that it is the commander's duty to crush the enemy. The Commander then reluctantly gives the order to attack.
Meanwhile, Spock checks on the phaser crew and Stiles coldly remarks that they "will handle things without your help, Vulcan." After Spock leaves however, a coolant leak erupts. As the Romulan ship moves in to attack, Kirk gives the order to fire phasers. But both Tomlinson and Stiles have been overcome by the coolant fumes. Realizing the danger, Spock runs back and manages to fire the phasers, severely damaging the Romulan ship.
Visual contact between ships is somehow established as Kirk watches a severely injured Romulan Commander stagger to his feet. The Romulan Commander turns and looks upon the face of Kirk. Despite Kirk's offer to beam aboard any survivors, the Romulan Commander informs him that it is not the Romulan way. He then says, with admiration, "I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend," and as the last part of his duty, he sets the Romulan ship to self-destruct.
Kirk goes to sickbay and it is revealed that not only did Spock fire the phasers, he also rescued someone, Stiles. Stiles is humbled and amazed that Spock saved his life. Unfortunately, Spock was unable to save Robert Tomlinson. Kirk is then forced to console his grief-stricken fiancée, Angela Martine, while she stands alone in the chapel.
Log Entries
- Captain's log, stardate 1709.2. Patrolling outpost guarding the neutral zone between planets Romulus and Remus and the rest of the galaxy; received an emergency call from Outpost 4. The USS Enterprise is moving to investigate and assist.

Background Information
Story and Script
- The plot of this episode is based on the 1957 movie The Enemy Below, with the Enterprise taking the part of the American destroyer and the Bird-of-Prey with its cloaking device taking the part of the submarine. (The Star Trek Compendium 4th ed., p. 40) Director Vincent McEveety had seen the film but only noticed the differences later, when this was pointed out to him. He commented, "Obviously, it's the same story." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 34)
- According to Harlan Ellison, when Paul Schneider told him he had adapted "The Enemy Below" for television, Harlan then refused to speak to him. (citation needed • edit)
- Star Trek: The Original Series 365 suggests that Schneider may have also been inspired by another submarine film, Run Silent, Run Deep. The authors note that the film contains a similar plot thread of an officer longing for vengeance, as well as the tactic of releasing wreckage and bodies from a damaged vessel in order to mislead the opposing ship. (p. 063). The Star Trek Compendium also mentions this film as the inspiration along with The Enemy Below. (5th edition, p. 40)
- A long portion of the scene with the doomed Commander Hansen was cut from the final episode. Hansen informed Kirk that the Romulan vessel is of "starship design" which is "remarkably similar to ours", and that the Romulans probably stolen Earth designs via espionage and traitors. This is the basis for Stiles' remarks about having Romulan spies aboard the Enterprise. [1]
- A shot filmed, but cut from the finished episode shown Kirk saluting the Romulan commander before he destroyed his ship. [2]
- The music featured during the opening scenes of the wedding ceremony is the 19th century English tune "Long, Long Ago."
- Although phasers are used throughout the episode, the visual effect seen is that which later became used for photon torpedo launches, probably because the term "photon torpedo" was not invented until later in the season, in "Arena". Kirk orders the phasers to be "set for proximity blast"; each phaser blast acts like a Navy depth charge.
- Continuing Trek's "progressive" cultural presentations, an almost unnoticed bit of staging might indicate that Angela Martine was Catholic, as she is seen genuflecting before the altar in the ship's chapel during her aborted wedding ceremony. While hardly controversial today, for the 1960s it was a fairly bold thing to show, considering the prejudice against Catholics that was still common in the United States in those days. (Note, however, that this is not exclusively a Roman Catholic practice. Some Episcopalians, for example, also genuflect in front of the altar.)
- Several sources, including The Making of Star Trek and The Star Trek Compendium (4th ed., p. 40) state that the ship's chapel was a redress of the transporter room. Yet in this episode, and the other episode the chapel is seen ("The Tholian Web") the chapel is an obvious redress of the briefing room. This is confirmed by Inside Star Trek: The Real Story (pp. 170-171), which reproduces the set blueprints created for this episode.
- Two of the actors playing Romulans in this episode would later play Vulcan characters, namely Mark Lenard (Sarek) and Lawrence Montaigne (Stonn).
- The Romulan helmets shown aboard the Romulan bridge were designed to cover the ears of the actors. This saved the additional cost of creating prosthetic ear-points for each of the supporting actors. They were reused in "Amok Time" (on Vulcans) and "The Enterprise Incident" for the same reason. (Star Trek: The Original Series 365, p. 173)
- The rarely seen Command work utility jumpsuit is worn by several crew members in this episode.
- This episode saw the introduction of the Romulan Star Empire in Star Trek. It was writer Paul Schneider who is credited with creating the Romulans. Schneider remarked, "It was a matter of developing a good Romanesque set of admirable antagonists that were worthy of Kirk. I came up with the concept of the Romulans which was an extension of the Roman civilization to the point of space travel, and it turned out quite well." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 34) Schneider's next contribution was "The Squire of Gothos".
- This is the only time in which the ship's weaponry is fired through a chain of commands (Kirk to Stiles to phaser room). This gives the episode more of its "submarine versus destroyer" feel.
- Dialogue in the episode establishes that there are multiple weapons batteries on board, "Helm" and "Starboard" weapons being specifically mentioned.
- Regular first-season extra Ron Veto gets his only close-up in TOS, when he replaces Stiles at the navigation console.
- The preview trailer gives the stardate for this episode as 1710.0.
- As a homage, Captain Picard's wedding remarks in TNG: "Data's Day" are almost the same as those Kirk uses. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- The viewscreen display shown as the Enterprise approaches the Neutral Zone shows Earth Outposts 1-7 in "Sector Z-6".
- McEveety recalled, "They [Kirk and the Romulan commander] were very heroic characters pitted one against the other, and it dealt with the length to which people would go for their honor. It was a morality fantasy play, but terribly gripping. I thought that Mark Lenard's performance was brilliant, as was Bill Shatner's. It was a two-people show that I felt was real strong." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 34)
- In the James Blish adaptation of this story, presumably based on an earlier draft of the script, Stiles dies. In addition, Robert Tomlinson and Angela Martine actually marry, in a second ceremony late in the story.
- In the William Shatner novel The Return, where Kirk is resurrected by a Borg/Romulan alliance to kill Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Romulan alliance is arranged by the granddaughter of the Romulan commander of this mission, convinced that Starfleet are brutal murderers and seeking revenge for her grandfather's death at Kirk's hands.
- The story of the events on Romulus leading up to this episode are told in the comic book "Alien Spotlight: Romulans".
