While many focus on Alaska's food source challenges, Anchorage chef Rob Kinneen capitalizes on the strengths.
"We should be working on where we are," said Kinneen, who was in Sitka last week. "We're unique, we're who we are. We need to think about producing our own microgoods."
Kinneen is the founder of Fresh49, a company that raises awareness on the benefits to Alaskans of using local foods and where to find them. During his week in Sitka, he gave a talk at last month's Food Film Festival, conducted food demonstrations at schools and for the public and joined two Pacific High School students to prepare a lunch for 20.
Kinneen's visit here was sponsored by the SEARHC health promotion department and Sitka Conservation Society. The two organizations coordinated Kinneen's demonstrations at Pacific High, Mount Edgecumbe High School, the Senior Center, Grace Harbor Church and Sitka High.
Renae Mathson, SEARHC health educator, said Kinneen showed those who attended the workshops and demonstrations how to make traditional foods "more palatable to people who have not been eating local foods." She said the chef not only showed the best ways to prepare these foods but also focused on the health and cultural benefits.
"So many people don't know how to prepare traditional foods," Mathson said. She added that if more people ate traditional foods, they could reduce chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease, and also promote good health and general wellness.
"That's an Alaska issue, not just an Alaska Native issue," said Kinneen, who is Tlingit. He was raised in Petersburg and Anchorage and now lives in Anchorage. He studied culinary arts during high school before going on to graduate from one of the top culinary schools, the Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park, N.Y.
After graduation from culinary school, he worked at celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse's second restaurant in New Orleans, and in the North Carolina "triangle" area, before returning to Alaska. During his time away he watched the "farm-to-schools" movement take hold.
Kinneen, 38, said he was struck by the proportion of food from out of state that is consumed in Alaska -- about 96 percent -- and the paucity of local foods in commercial and home cooking.
"If you think about how wrong that is ..." he said. "What would happen if we had a natural disaster and couldn't get food in? It would be devastating to a lot of the state. At the end of the day, there are a lot of issues."
Kinneen wants to see the situation change and for people to start using more of what is available outside their doors.
"I figured it was time to stand up and take a look at it from a different perspective ... or leave the state," he said.
Kinneen makes his living as a chef in Anchorage restaurants and through local foods contract work, which is his passion. He said he may be hired to put on a 500-plate local foods dinner for a health organization, or serve as a visiting demonstration chef in communities around the state, like Sitka. About four years ago, he was the guest chef for the Sitka Seafood Festival and has been back twice to work the popular local event.
On his visit to Sitka last week he worked with two kids at Pacific High School to prepare a dish of locally donated coho salmon, brown rice and black bean salsa garnished with beach asparagus. They prepared plates for 30, and it was polished off by the 20 students who came to lunch.
"That was pretty fun," Kinneen said.
At Mount Edgecumbe High School he conducted a demonstration and worked with the kids to make a meal of salmon rolls with black seaweed, goose tongue, beach asparagus and seal oil.
Along the way, Kinneen has been passing on the importance of local foods in the economy. He also applauds the work of companies that are able to capitalize on local ingredients to create premium products. He cited Alaska Pure Sea Salt Co. of Sitka as one such company.
"We have all the ingredients to be a top-notch culinary destination," he said.

Title: Lived like a local!
Review: My colleague and I stayed at this property twice on a recent work trip to the US. Apartment was very comfortable, beds and sheets were lovely! It was also very clean. We felt like we were locals and loved the location, being able to walk everywhere. Lovely furnishings and Shaun was very helfpul and accommodating. We would definitley love to stay here again and I would recommend to anyone considering renting an apartment in this area to stay here!
RE Order # 19771706
I spent hours researching before choosing this home for our family vacation. Still, you never know until you see it, what you will find. We were so happy with this rental. It is spacious, clean, safe, in a beautiful neighborhood with easy walking distance to great shopping and restaurants. The decor is fabulous. Interesting, fun and trendy new and updated furnishings and art. I wish I could hire the decorator to decorate my home! Each room has character and charm. The home is very comfortable. Lots of comfortable seating in living room. Very comfortable beds and nice quality linens. The place is so well stocked with everything that you need. The kitchen is well equipped with nice dishes and cooking supplies. A Keurig coffee maker and starbucks K cups provided were very much appreciated. Nice quality toiletries provided in baths. Lots of towels available, paper goods, etc. I have never stayed in a better equipped rental home. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful with well maintained homes and gardens. Loved our daily walk to The Grove and the Farmers Market. Central location gives easy access to other areas of LA, and so much is going on nearby. I look forward to staying here again as our son lives down the street.
We had such a wonderful stay here! Beautiful fresh flowers were brought in upon our arrival. Everything was clean and very spacious. Great neighborhood and walking distance to some fun locations. We will definitely be staying here again next time we plan a trip to the West Coast.
We stayed at the West Hollywood Flat in the Melrose District for four days. It is homey, roomy and very clean. It looks just like the pictures. We were welcomed with fresh flowers!
The apartment is a one story on the ground level and is a home away from home with all the amenities/necessities. The beds were very comfortable. There is a one car garage for a small car and street parking can be difficult at times.
The neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly. We would recommend this place to our family and friends. The owner was very professional and returned emails promptly. Thank you for our stay.
My sister and I wanted a nice two bedroom flat and that is exactly what we got. The flat was centrally located and in perfect condition. All amenities were spot on, full internet, clean ammenities, ample room, great quick service with our agent, all in all the experience was one of the best ones i have had in my time frequenting Los Angeles. I HIGHLY recommend you use these guys and their units, being a girl I wanted something clean, central and secure and we were not disappointed. The pictures are exactly how you see the unit, no photoshopping required. Im going back in November and will definetly use this Company again.
Hi Eddie, The flat was great, we enjoyed are stay, loved the place, it was very clean and looked like a 5 star hotel, walked to Melrose and the grove nealy every night, the location was great.. thanks for taking good care of us Mark Blaine

Two And A Half Miles Launches MobilizingMen.org
October 16, 2014 in Uncategorized | Comments Off
Mobilizing Men is an initiative of Two and a Half Miles. It is about a movement of men who commit to live a life of integrity, defend women and children who are exploited in the evil of sexual slavery, and act to change one life at a time. It is an opportunity for men to stand up and take their rightful place as protector. It is time for men to unify and declare that it is wrong to sell a child or woman for sex. Mobilizing Men is men in action. Until we address the root cause of selling individuals for sex, then this epidemic cannot truly be impacted. Demand drives supply. When demand is taken out of the equation, supply will not be needed. Mobilizing Men will stand to take accountability in the root cause of the issue of sexual slavery: demand.

Steelers look to exploit Seahawks' special teams
PITTSBURGH Antonio Brown didn't need to verbalize the answer. It was written all over his face.
When asked if his eyes light up knowing, as the Pittsburgh Steelers' return man, he'll face a team on Sunday that allowed a kickoff and a punt return for touchdowns last week, his eyes, well, simply lit up.
"Definitely, man," Brown said.
Indeed, it's tough to not notice that the Seattle Seahawks (0-1) watched San Francisco's Ted Ginn take two returns for scores in the final four minutes of a 33-17 loss at San Francisco. There were holes, there were missed chances, and make no mistake, Ginn made some moves. But two returns in four minutes?
"It's like the standard has been set, and that gives you motivation to come out and meet that same standard," Brown said, "knowing they will, of course, make some changes. But knowing that we've still got an opportunity to make some big plays in an area where they may be lacking."
Coming off a listless performance offensively and defensively in a 35-7 season-opening loss to the rival Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers (0-1) could use the extra jolt on special teams.
Brown believes he and the team's return unit can provide it.
"Ginn's really good, he had some great blocks provided, and he made the right reads on his cuts," Brown said. "I think if I can make some good reads, I know my blockers will set really good, so I think we're going to have a real good opportunity this week."
Brown has emerged as the Steelers' go-to return man for punts and kickoffs in his second season. He had a 41-yard kickoff return on Sunday and a 51-yard return during the preseason. The first time he officially touched the ball as an NFL player, Brown had an 89-yard return for a touchdown in Week 2 last season.
As a receiver, Brown came on down the stretch and into the playoffs, and he was the Steelers' best at the position during this preseason, scoring three touchdowns and averaging 25.6 yards per catch.
"I think he's explosive," Steelers special teams coach Al Everest said, "and has the potential to be a big-time returner in this league."
Kind of like Ginn, who has six returns for touchdowns over four full seasons and one game. Everest said Ginn's kick return was an individual effort in which he took a broken play and outran everyone. The punt return was, according to Everest, more about execution.
Everest noted that two of the Seahawks' special teams players are injured, which hurt the unit. He also said that the kickoff coverage team was undisciplined in its lanes during the touchdown return, an assertion Seattle coach Pete Carroll agreed with.
"It was such a shock for us to break down like that," Carroll said. "It was almost unbelievable for us. So we are going to go back to the things we know how to do, and take care of business and try to eliminate the big bust that happened.

A dynamic random access memory cell has a storage capacitor and an access transistor formed on only one sidewall of a trench etched into the face of a semiconductor bar. The storage capacitor uses the sidewall of the trench as the storage node, and uses a polysilicon plug as a common node. This polysilicon plug is part of a plate that extends along the face in the trench for a column of like cells, functioning to provide field-plate type of isolation between capacitors along the trench. The channel of the access transistor is formed in the upper part of the one sidewall of the trench, using an upper edge of the capacitor storage node as the source region of the transistor and having a buried N+ drain region on the face at the top. The capacitor areas are isolated from one another on opposite sidewalls, so an array can be laid out that has two cells per bit, to provide improved alpha particle immunity, or by using two wordlines per row a true crosspoint array is possible, providing higher density.
1. A dynamic random-access memory cell of the type having at least one storage capacitor and at least one access transistor formed at a face of a semiconductor body, comprising:
a pair of parallel trenches extending into said face of the semiconductor body on opposite sides of a semiconductor region formed by said parallel trenches,

a pair of separate capacitor regions each formed in a lower portion of each sidewall of said semiconductor region between said parallel trenches, the capacitor regions doped with impurity different from the doping of said body, each said capacitor region being spaced from said drain region by a channel area in said sidewall, and each capacitor region being electrically isolated along said face from other capacitor regions of other cells, and
a gate separated from each said channel area by a transistor gate oxide,
wherein said storage capacitor is formed by said conductive material, said capacitor dielectric and at least one of said capacitor regions formed in said sidewall.
2. A device according to claim 1 wherein said body is silicon and said conductive material is polycrystalline silicon.
3. A device according to claim 1 wherein said body is predominately P-type silicon, said heavily-doped region is N+ -type silicon, and said capacitor region is N-type silicon.
4. A device according to claim 1 wherein a field oxide and channel stop in the bottom of each of said trenches serves to isolate said capacitor regions of said cell from capacitor regions of adjacent cells.
5. A device according to claim 1 wherein said cell has two access transistors connected to said drain region and a storage capacitor connected to each said access transistor.
6. A device according to claim 5 wherein said gates of said two access transistors for said cell are part of a wordline extending along said face, said wordline also forming gates of all transistors in a row of such cells.
7. A device according to claim 6 wherein said conductive material in each trench is part of a strip-like field plate extending along a column of cells to isolate capacitor regions of adjacent cells from one another.
8. A device according to claim 1 wherein said semiconductor region is a free-standing pillar.
9. A device according to claim 1 wherein each of said at least one access transistor has said gate formed at a sidewall of said semiconductor region.
This application discloses subject matter also disclosed in my copending application Ser. No. (07/198,896), filed May 26, 1988, assigned to Texas Instruments.
This invention relates to semiconductor devices and methods of making such devices, and more particularly to a dynamic random access memory cell array and a process for manufacturing this array.
Dynamic RAM cells in which both the capacitor and the transistor are located within a trench in the face of a silicon bar are disclosed in my above-mentioned application, and by Richardson, et al, in Proceedings of the International Electronic Devices Meeting, IEEE, 1985, pp. 714-717; these structures greatly reduce the space occupied on the face of the bar, and so the density of cells can be very high. The Richardson, et al cell requires the use of a buried lateral contact to connect the source of the access transistor to the upper plate of the capacitor which forms the storage node, and the manufacturing steps for forming this contact are complex. Cells have been proposed such as that in U.S. Pat. No. 4,225,945 issued to Kuo and assigned to Texas Instruments, in which the capacitor and transistor are located within a trench, and in which the lower capacitor plate is the storage node, so the edge of the capacitor region forms the source of the access transistor and no buried contact is needed.
It is the principal object of this invention to provide an improved dynamic memory cell of the type having both the capacitor and the access transistor located within a trench to thereby reduce the space used on the surface. It is another object to provide a trench-type dynamic memory cell array which is more easily manufactured with existing process technology, particularly one that does not require a buried lateral contact. It is a further object to provide a cell with improved alpha particle immunity, and to provide a cell of smaller size, allowing a greater cell density.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention a dynamic random access memory cell has a storage capacitor and an access transistor formed on only one sidewall of a trench etched into the face of a semiconductor bar. The storage capacitor uses the sidewall of the trench as the storage node, and uses a polysilicon plug as a common node. This polysilicon plug is part of a plate that extends along the face in the trench for a column of like cells, functioning to provide field-plate type of isolation between capacitors along the trench. The channel of the access transistor is formed in the upper part of the one sidewall of the trench, using an upper edge of the capacitor storage node as the source region of the transistor and having a buried N+drain region on the face at the top. The capacitor areas are isolated from one another on opposite sidewalls, so an array can be laid out that has two cells per bit, to provide improved alpha particle immunity, or by using two wordlines per row each capacitor can be addressed separately, providing higher density. Alternatively, only one word line per row can be used and the bit line can be split down the middle so that now one ridge or pillar supports two separate bit lines, again providing higher density.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as further objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of particular embodiments, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a small part of a dynamic memory cell array constructed according to one embodiment of the invention;
FIGS. 2a-2d are elevation views in section of the cell array of FIG. 1, taken along the lines a--a, b--b, c--c and d--d of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an electrical schematic diagram of the cells of FIGS. 1 and 2a-2d;
FIGS. 4a-4d are section views like FIG. 2a at various stages of manufacture of the cell of FIGS. 1-3;
FIG. 5 is a plan view like FIG. 1, but for another embodiment of the invention;
FIGS. 6a-6d are elevation views in section of the embodiment of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is an electrical schematic diagram of the cell array of FIGS. 5 and 6a-6d;
FIG. 8 is an elevation view in section of a small part of the cell array of FIGS. 1-3 according to another embodiment of the invention; and
FIGS. 9a and 9b are views like FIG. 8 in various stages of manufacture.
FIGS. 1 and 2a-2d are plan and section views of an array of one-transistor dynamic random access memory cells, each cell having a transistor 10 and a capacitor 11 formed on a sidewall of a semiconductor region between trenches 12 in the face of a silicon bar 13. As is known in the art, the semiconductor region may be a free-standing pillar rather than a region between trenches. An N+ region 14 buried beneath a layer of silicon oxide 15 in the upper portion of the semiconductor region forms the bitline for a column of these cells and forms the drain of each of the access transistor 10. Wordlines are provided by elongated polysilicon strips 16, which extend down into the trenches 12 to create the gates 17 of the access transistors. The storage nodes of the capacitors 11 are formed by N-type regions 18 formed in the sidewalls of the lower portion of the semiconductor region between trenches 12, and an upper edge of this N-Type region also creates the source region 19 of each of the transistors 10. A polysilicon plug 20 fills the lower portion of each trench 12, and this plug is part of a strip-like field plate extending along this column to isolate capacitor areas 18 from one another; this field plate or plug 20 may be grounded as disclosed in my U.S. Pat. No. 4,345,364, or may have a voltage of about one-half Vdd applied to it for the reasons explained in U.S. Pat. No. 4,240,092. At the bottom of each trench 12 is a thermal oxide layer 21 with an underlying P+ channel-stop 22 functioning to isolate the capacitor 11 on one sidewall of the trench from the capacitor 11 on the other sidewall of this trench.
The cell array of FIGS. 1-3 has two storage capacitors 11 and two access transistors 10 for each cell; that is, when one wordline 16 is activated and one bitline 14 is sensed (selected by column decode), then two transistors 10 are turned on and two capacitors 11 are charge-shared with the bitline 14. Thus, if there has been a soft error introduced, as by an alpha particle partially discharging one of the capacitors 11, then a true bit of data can still be sensed. However, instead of employing two capacitors per cell, the concept of the invention can be used to provide a greater density of cells by using only one capacitor and one capacitor per cell, as will be described hereinafter.
A method of making the cell array of FIGS. 1-3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4a-4d. The starting material is a slice of P-type semiconductor-grade single-crystal silicon of which the bar 13 is only a very minute part; the cells of FIG. 1 and 2a-2d are of course only a few of 4-Meg or 16-Meg on a bar, and perhaps several hundred bars would be formed on a slice at one time. Only the steps used to create the cell array will be described, it being understood that the periphery of the device would be made using CMOS processing as is usual at the present time, or in addition bipolar devices may be included as well. First, a thin coating of silicon oxide is grown and an arsenic implant is performed, using a suitable mask such as photoresist if desired, to produce N+ implanted regions 25 which will become the bitlines 14. A layer of silicon nitride 26 is applied to the top face of the slice, and this nitride is patterned to leave exposed only the areas where the trenches 12 are to be etched. An anisotropic etch is performed to a depth of perhaps five to ten microns to create the trenched structure as seen in FIG. 4a. The width of each trench 12 at the face is about 2 microns or less. The next step is creation of the isolating channel stop 22 and its overlying thermal oxide 21, which is done by first applying another nitride coating and removing from the trench bottoms but not from the sidewalls by an anisotropic etch. A boron implant is performed to dope P+ the bottoms of the trenches, then a thermal oxidation produces the oxide layer 21 with the channel stop 22 beneath it as seen in FIG. 4b. The nitride coating is then removed from the sidewalls by etching, and the trenches are filled with a deposited silicon oxide which may be doped with P type impurity, and this deposited silicon oxide is etched in a pettern parallel to what will be wordlines 16 to leave oxide bridges 27 as seen in FIG. 4b to mask N+ doping. Next the N+ regions 18 are created in the sidewalls of the trenches by first coating the entire face, filling the trenches, with a deposited, N+ doped silicon oxide, then subjecting the face to a uniform reactive ion etch to remove all of this oxide except a plug 28 in the trench; an oxide cap might be added to prevent outdiffusion from doping the upper part of the sidewalls, and then the slice is subjected to a high temperature for a time sufficient to diffuse N-type impurity such as phosphorous or arsenic from the oxide plug 28 into the sidewalls of the trenches to form the N-type capacitor regions 18. An etch is now performed to remove the oxide bridges 27 and the oxide plugs 28. As seen in FIG. 4c, a thermal oxidation is performed to form the capacitor dielectric 29; this dielectric may be thermal silicon oxide at about 100 to 150A thickness, for example, or it may be a combination of thermal silicon oxide and an added coating of silicon nitride, creating an effective die-electric thickness of about 100A. Doped polysilicon 30 is not deposited to cover the entire face and to fill the trenches 12, then this polysilicon is etched back using a reactive ion etch to the level of the original nitride 26, then a masking operation is performed using photoresist to cover the areas between cells and to leave exposed the areas above that will be the transistors 10, so the anisotropic etch can be continued to leave the plugs 20; that is, the etching of the polysilicon 30 now is performed to stop when about the level of the tops of the regions 18 are reached so the shape seen in FIG. 2c is achieved. This etch of the polysilicon 30 is performed to expose the sidewalls where the channels of the transistors 10 are to be. The polysilicon 30 is left at the level of the original top surface in the spaces between cells, but is etched down to the level of the top of the N+ regions 18 in the areas beneath where the wordlines 16 are to be. Turning now to FIG. 4d, the next step is to remove the nitride 26 and subject the bar to an oxidation to grow the thermal oxide 15 and drive in the bitlines 14, as well as to grow transistor gate oxide 31 and a thicker oxide 32 over the polysilicon 20. This oxidation will grow thick oxide 15 preferentially on the heavily-doped silicon of the arsenic-implanted region 25 but thin oxide 31 on the relatively undoped transistor channel area; at the same time, an oxide coating 32 grows on the exposed polysilicon 20 in the trench 12 to serve to insulate the wordline 16 from the plug 20. Fabrication of the cell is completed by then depositing a polysilicon layer and patterning it to form the wordline 16 as seen in FIGS. 1 and 3; alternatively, instead of using a polysilicon wordline, a metal or silicided-polysilicon wordline may be employed.
Referring now to FIGS. 5, 6a-6d, and 7, another embodiment of the invention uses the same structure for the trenches 12, capacitor regions 18 and isolating channel stops 22, but has the bitlines and wordlines running differently. That is, bitlines 31 are metal lines extending along the top face, perpendicular to the trenches 12, and these bitlines make metal-to-silicon contacts 32 to the N+ drain regions 14 through oxide 15. The wordlines in this embodiment are filaments 33 on the sidewalls of the trenches, extending parallel to the trenches 12, actually in the trenches. In order to reduce the electrical resistance of these wordline filaments 33, they may be preferably composed of two layers 33a and 33b; the layer 33a is polycrystalline silicon to provide the desired transistor gate characteristic, while the layer 33b is silicide or metal to reduce the resistance. As seen in the section view of FIG. 6b, P+ regions 34 are diffused into the sidewalls of the trenches 12 to prevent parasitic transistor action due to the wordlines 33, in the areas between cells. The transistor drain regions 14 are broken into individual areas instead of extending along an entire column to form a bitline, since here the bitlines extend at right angles to, instead of parallel to the trenches 12. In the embodiment of FIGS. 5-7, there is only one transistor and one capacitor for each cell, rather than two of each as was the case for the embodiment of FIGS. 1-3. Thus, the cell density is higher for the FIG. 5-7 embodiment, but the advantages of greater alpha particle immunity is not achieved. The process for making the cell array of FIGS. 5-7 is quite similar to that of FIGS. 4a-4d, but the wordlines 33 are made by the technique of deposition followed by anisotropic etch which leaves the sidewalls coated but removes material on flat surfaces.
In still another embodiment of the invention, illustrated in FIG. 8, the construction is exactly like FIGS. 1-3 with one major exception; the bitlines 14 are each split into two bitlines 14a and 14b, so that there is only one transistor 10 and one capacitor 11 for each cell. The process for forming the split bitlines is illustrated in FIGS. 9a-9b. Sidewall filaments 41 are created above where the split is to be formed in what is to be the bitlines, then the dummy material 42 and the other (unused) sidewalls 43, are removed by a masked etch. The filaments 41, along with a photoresist operation, are then used to mask an arsenic implant then a silicide operation, to leave a structure as seen in FIG. 9b including N+ regions 14a and 14b and overlying silicided regions 44a and 44b. The filaments 41 are then removed by etching, using the silicide 44a and 44b as an etch stop to allow etching out a small trench 45 between the bitlines for isolation.
In another embodiment, the cells can be formed on pillars rather than on ridges between trenches; this would be accomplished by etching another set of trenches perpendicular to the trenches 12, generally in the position of the bridges 27 of FIG. 4b, after filling with deposited oxide, providing more isolation between cells.
While this invention has been described with reference to illustrative embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the illustrative embodiments, as well as other embodiments of the invention, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to this description. It is therefore contemplated that the appended claims will cover any such modifications or embodiments as fall within the true scope of the invention.

Andrew Stanton, the man responsible for "Finding Nemo," is not resting on his laurels.
He returns Friday with the most unlikely of movie heroes - "WALL-E."
The title character is a lovable but lonely robot left on a post-Apocalyptic Earth after the rest of civilization has deserted the planet. WALL-E, which stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class, spends his days scooping up trash, crushing it into cubes and then arranging the cubes into neat piles. He has been doing this for hundreds of years, and it isn't until a sleek, updated feminine robot comes along that WALL-E realizes how much he craves companionship.
Stanton, 42, won an Academy Award for writing and directing "Finding Nemo" but fish are easy to make audiences identify with compared to robots.
In this candid conversation, Stanton discusses how he made his robots relatable, where he found his inner geek and what he thinks about the merchandising of his movies now that Disney owns Pixar Animation Studios.
The new film is the latest in an unbroken string of eight computer animation hits that include "Toy Story," "A Bug's Life," "Monsters, Inc.," and the Oscar-winning "Ratatouille." Pixar's films have grossed a staggering $4.3 billion at the worldwide box office, and launched shelves full of toys.
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER:Can you remember the moment that you discovered your inner geek?
ANDREW STANTON: Like anything else in life, by 8th or 9th grade, you start to discover other people similar to you. They like the same comic books. They like the same movies. But, for me, it was really confirmed when I got to CalArts (California Institute of the Arts in Valencia) and started studying animation. Then I realized that I was a specific type.
OCR:So, it wasn't until college that you came to grips with your geektitude?
STANTON:Coming from a small town like Rockport (Mass.), there were only a handful like me, and even within that group, I felt a little different. But, when I got to CalArts, I knew what I was meant to do with my life. They were all just like me. It was like 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' We were all drawn to Devil's Tower.
OCR:Did you feel adrift before you got there?
STANTON:No, I just was interested in too many things. I didn't know if I wanted to be an actor, a musician, a draftsman, an illustrator or a filmmaker. It was hard for me to pin it down. I love them all. It was stunning to me to realize that it was going to be animation. I was meant to be in animation because animation encompasses all those things. It deals with drawing. It deals with timing. It deals with acting. It deals with filmmaking.
OCR:And was Pixar an even bigger Devil's Tower to aspire to?
STANTON:I wasn't trying to go to Pixar.
OCR:I thought all animators wanted to go to Pixar?
STANTON:Actually, I was ready to leave the business after CalArts.
OCR:How come?
STANTON: I was in one of the most talented classes I've ever seen at CalArts, and everybody was better than me at different aspects of animation. I was more interested in the overall effect, rather than each individual discipline. Of course, now I realize that I was thinking like a director, but I didn't realize it at the time. All I knew was that I wasn't good enough at any of the individual things. After I graduated, I only got jobs because my friends got me in. They would talk their bosses into taking a chance on me. I was getting really, really disenchanted.
OCR:How bad was it?

Just over a year ago, The Podium Finish strengthened with the addition of Isabelle Beecy of Melrose, MA, who's quickly grown in her role as the Co-Editor-in-Chief. Specializing in the Verizon IndyCar Series for the past year, this 20-year-old motorsports journalist, who'll be kicking off her third year as a journalism student at The Ohio State University, is changing gears and going from the world of open wheels and into the realm of NASCAR. Covering races at Pocono Raceway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Toronto's Exhibition Place, and Mid-Ohio, it's safe to say that those experiences this summer and her hands on role with working amongst her team has made her a truly valuable asset to TPF.
Since our interview last summer, she's not only produced countless interview pieces with IndyCar and NASCAR drivers, but she's also become a member of our podcast as well as our Track Talk NASCAR race preview team. A hard working, determined, and precise writer, she's meticulous about her works, always looking to improve on her material while being an ardent observer of the sport. Never afraid to ask questions, she's a keen observer and displays the professionalism of a journalist while remembering to be herself. Balancing her time with her family, friends, school, and her passions, it's safe to say that she's able to keep up with the fast pace of her world.
Sweet, kind, considerate, and supportive, Beecy's been an equal part of our website's growth and changes. A former go-kart racer who mainly competed in F1 Boston, she's also quite competitive as she would in her career behind the wheel. In some respects, a part of my traits and approach with writing and NASCAR racing are very much inherent with her. Bouncing ideas like musicians, we continually think of ways to improve TPF for our race fans.
Most importantly, we're both working tremendously hard to be in this sport, and for a young writer who cut her teeth just a year ago here, she's come a long ways! Not to mention, she's the kind who can walk the talk, and not just on a go-kart track!
Working alongside her during the Loudon race weekend last month, it's safe to say that the rapport we had online was further strengthened during our road trip. We learned a lot about each other, coalescing with each other's approaches, and most of all, we've strengthened our friendship and our working relationship. There are times where I see a lot of my younger self with Beecy, as she's got the focus and eyes of a focused individual who's set on realizing her dreams.
A year ago, I introduced you to the newest co-EIC. Tonight, I'm proud to sit down and follow up with not only one of TPF's biggest catalysts, but my best friend. Ladies and gentlemen, let's start "Catching Up with Isabelle Beecy, Co-Editor-In-Chief of The Podium Finish," right here, right now!
Rob Tiongson : Year one of your tenure as co-EIC completed a few weeks ago. You've now covered IndyCar and NASCAR races. Still, for those people still living under a rock, could you catch them up on what you've been up to at TPF?
Isabelle Beecy: So on TPF, I've been recaping races for IndyCar, F1, and NASCAR and interviewing drivers from IndyCar and NASCAR. At the moment, I'm transitioning over from open wheels to NASCAR but I'm hoping to still do at least some interviews over in IndyCar.
RT : If I may ask, what prompted the change from open wheels to stock car land? And what are your goals with NASCAR racing?
IB : This summer I was able to get credentials for several NASCAR and IndyCar races but felt more comfortable in the NASCAR media center than I did in the IndyCar media center. When it comes to goals, I'm really hoping for a career in NASCAR in one form or another, whether it's with a team or a media site. For short-term goals, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about NASCAR and build up experience so I can land said job.
RT : Good points and you've had that unique opportunity to see both series from the other side of the fence. Let's talk a bit about it, at least with NASCAR. It's safe to say you entered a brand new world. What's some of the aspects of it that took you by surprise?
IB : I wasn't expecting everyone to be so welcoming, first of all. I had only heard about NASCAR being nice, but to have everyone offer help and support to me when I first arrived in the media centers was unexpected and really amazing. I appreciate all the kindness that I received. I also wasn't expecting the amount of opportunity to get a story to be as high as it was. There were many press conferences I could attend and the teams who allowed me to interview their driver were willing to accommodate as much as possible. The whole experience was just phenomenal.
RT : Is it safe to say that it gave you a whole new perspective of NASCAR racing compared to what you heard in years prior?
IB : Oh absolutely. To have two completely different experiences between two different series was a real eye opener and made me realize which series would end up being the one I want to be more involved in.
RT : Speaking of involvement, you've definitely been a part of TPF's big changes since we first sat down and talked things over. You've also grown a lot in the past few years - what's different in Isabelle's world from when we first chatted?
IB : Oh gosh. So much is different. I've been able to work through several demons and have found some confidence that was buried somewhere. I've also found a great support system with family and friends, so that always help. Even though there were some really low lows this past year, I've been able to grow for the better and have come out stronger on the other side. Or at least that's what I would like to think.
RT : When it comes to coping with those fears, how's that helped with the on track experiences? Have you found yourself sometimes going, this can't be happening?
IB : I've really been able to find a way to take the coping strategies for personal demons and apply them to chasing the dream. Or at least it's been easier to quickly find coping strategies that work while chasing the dream. So far, I'd say it's worked pretty well. I've been able to get over most of my nerves involved with in-person interviews and in NASCAR it's been easier to find a way to network that works for me. So I'm getting there, but I'm still not 100% where I want to be (and maybe should be).
RT : You will be! Sounds like we share that characteristic of wanting to be better than we are, eh?
IB : True story!
RT : In terms of the changes you've been through, did you ever imagine that you'd be making the series switch and also to see TPF grow all at the same time?
IB : I never expected to ever make the jump from IndyCar to NASCAR. I thought I would get a job in IndyCar and then that would be it. I guess life wanted to take me in a different direction, but I'm sure I'm sure I'll be happy in NASCAR. With TPF growing, I never expected it to do so as fast as I did, but it's a good kind of surprise like the switch is. I love seeing this website grow and garner more attention because it means we're doing something right and we're doing it well. It's tough to be switching when the website is growing like this since I feel like more eyes are on me during the transition and I feel like I have to nail it, but I'd probably be putting pressure on myself to get it right no matter what. It's the good pressure, though, so I think I'll do fine.
RT : The whole team loves you for sure - you're a huge part of our success and growth since last summer. What would be the perfect song that describes your journey since last year?
IB : I'd maybe say "All You Need Is Now" by Duran Duran. It's a fun, upbeat song that's reminding me to live in the moment. I often find myself thinking too much about what I screwed up in regards to something that's happened in the past or get too worried about something that
It'll happen in the future and I need to remember to live for right now. I'd also throw in Duran Duran's "What Happens Tomorrow" for almost the same reason.
RT: Good choices, but how'd I know you'd say Duran Duran?
IB : Because you know me too well. Plus that's basically all I played on one of our roadies!
RT: Oh the road trips. Should we even talk about the awesomeness that ensued?
IB : Like drafting Trevor Bayne's hauler or you mooing at those cows?
RT : True story. We won't mention about Barbie Girl, either!
IB : Or me yelling at Kyle Busch's hauler to get out of my way?
RT : I think those should've been cues for me to know that you meant serious business in our Editor vs Editor race during your birthday! Speaking of which.....I think I can attest to our first interview. Even against me, you took the bulls by the horns!
IB : Yay for the uber-competitive nature of drivers?
RT : You lapped me more times, I almost thought I was standing still. Safe to say you, as a former series racer at F1 Boston, have that competitiveness in you as a writer?
IB : Oh gosh yes. I think you've seen it on several occasions already. But instead of letting it fester like I used to, I try to turn it into trying to make myself better as a writer and try to focus on myself rather than comparing myself to where others are and getting upset if I'm not there yet. Sometimes it doesn't always work, but I'm getting better at it.
RT : Last question before we go back to work and all. What's been the most memorable soundbite from your first year with TPF? And do you think your fellow co-EIC is a bit crazy?
IB : I have two sound bites that I've really enjoyed. One was the quote Austin Dillon gave me last summer about wearing the cowboy hat because chicks dig it. I'm proud of how much that took off and that I was the one who got him to say that. The other is AJ Allmendinger's answer to your question about what's changed between then and now. For me, it's awesome that he's been able to change his life so much for the better and I've enjoyed watching his comeback from his hell year a couple years ago. And yes, Rob, you are very crazy!
Author's Notes : I would like to personally thank Isabelle for taking the time to let me follow up with the interview from last summer. She's a true friend indeed, and the best friend I've wanted! Isabelle's a huge reason for why we've gotten so far. We believe in each other and I'm excited to see how her second year with TPF goes! All of the photos are courtesy of Isabelle and if you'd like to "Follow" her on Twitter, do it up. You can also talk racing with her during NASCAR Nationwide Series races and as always, you can catch her latest works in stock car racing all right here. I'd also like to thank Paul and Maureen Beecy for their support and kindness, being there for Isabelle as she pursues her racing dreams and with her writings on TPF!

The New York Times
From The New York Times:
Pull Up A Chair, Then Fix It
IT'S hard not to get swept up in the excitement of Design Week in New York, when the newest home furnishings are introduced at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, and related events happen all over town.
But what about all the old furnishings: those forlorn, broken-down pieces that are forgotten, cast off and kicked to the curb, seemingly destined for the landfill?
Not everyone, it turns out, has left them for dead.
Last Saturday, as part of a conference called MakeShift, Natalie Chanin, the founder of the fashion label Alabama Chanin, held a workshop to rehabilitate some of these castoffs at Partners & Spade on Great Jones Street. The event, which she called Crafting Design, was dedicated to resurrecting the bent, twisted and broken remnants of what the poet David McFadden has described as "the most ubiquitous and important design element in the domestic environment": the chair.
But with New York's bed bug scare still going strong, finding enough eligible chairs (more than 20, so that every participant would have at least one to work on) was more challenging than anyone anticipated.
Organizers finally decided that while steel and plastic chairs found on the street were fair game, wooden chairs were too risky, and only those found online were accepted as candidates for rehabilitation. Still, by the morning of the event there was a good-size pile for attendees to pick through outside Partners & Spade.
Amy Devers and Tanya Aguiñiga, Los Angeles-based designers who were in New York for the fair, each found a chair within minutes.
"We do this for a living," said Ms. Aguiñiga, who specializes in furniture and jewelry design. "We know what we like when we see it."
Inside, hammers, drills, nails and sandpaper were artfully laid out for participants' use. The 20 or so people who showed up were given only one instruction: that there were no instructions. Even so, seasoned designers like Ms. Aguiñiga and Ms. Devers and several experienced craftsmen were on hand to offer help and advice.
Cathy Bailey, an owner of Heath Ceramics, grabbed a drill and a plastic knockoff Eames chair and calmly set to work on it, weaving a zigzag pattern into the plastic seat using colorful scraps of T-shirt material provided by Ms. Chanin's studio.
Ms. Aguiñiga quickly dismantled the weathered seat of her wooden chair. Then she grabbed a handful of T-shirt strips and began weaving them through the back of the chair, creating a soft multicolored backrest. For the seat, she used thin rope to provide structural support and then applied a layer of navy-blue T-shirt material on top.
Ms. Devers, a furniture designer and the star of "Fix This Yard" on A&E, was hammering nails into the seat and back of her old Ikea chair, piling T-shirt scraps on top and carefully threading them through the nail bedding, so that the material began to take on the appearance of a colorful shag rug. One lone, loose piece from the back was left to dangle gracefully to the ground.
Soon, two hours had passed, and it was time to assess the results. All the castoff chairs had been restored to life, and some could have held their own at the furniture fair.
But that was not their destiny. Instead, it was decided that they should be returned to the streets where they came from, to pass on inspiration to whomever found them.
And so, at the end of the day, they were back on the sidewalk. Several of them sat on a corner in Chinatown, beside a pile of trash, where curious passers-by could peruse them.
Perhaps some lucky person took them home.
MAKESHIFT 2012: Human-Textile Wellness Pop-up Clinic
It's a mouthful. But then, people (especially Southerners) do have an undying love for the complexity of words, stories, and the beauty of textiles.
Last Tuesday night at The Standard, East Village, we were riveted by Jessamyn Hatcher's stories of processing unwanted clothing in a clinic format. Today in New York City, you have the rare and amazing opportunity to experience Human-Textile Wellness first-hand with a stellar team including Jessamyn, Professor, Global Liberal Studies, NYU; Hanna Astrom, Designer; Sarah Scaturro, Textile Conservator, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (and incoming conservator at the Costume Institute, Metropolitan Museum of Art); Michelle Zahabian, artist and co-owner of JEM; and the fascinating Emily Spivack, Creator and Editor, Worn Stories (wornstories.com) and Sentimental Value (www.sentimental-value.com).
Run, don't walk:
You are invited to attend a
Sunday, May 20, drop-in from 11am-3pm
@ JEM Fabric Warehouse
355 Broadway, between Franklin and Leonard
The Human-Textile Wellness Center is a research lab run by Jessamyn Hatcher that documents people's relationships to their clothing, and a place where you can come to repair, alter, and transform your garments, and share stories about textiles that are meaningful to you.
Meridith McNeal, "Palm Portraits" (used with kind permission of the artist)
Our sewing circle at The Standard, East Village was a rich mixture of folk from a range of professions and diverse lives. Cathy Davidson, one of our first time sewers, has written the most beautiful essay about her time with us and created a fantastic example of Reverse Appliqué as metaphor: Reverse Appliqué @alabamachanin or How the Shallow Distracted and Lonely Pundits Miss the Beauty.
Here you can read just a snippet from her observations on the day:
"We sat quite quietly, talking, introducing ourselves, and, in my case and Ken's, learning how to do things like: thread a needle (you bring the needle to the thread, not the reverse), tie a knot, love the thread (to get out the kinks and align the polymers in the cotton plys).
Here's the secret: when the world seems too connected, too overwhelming, too full of work, the hand-work of sewing slows it all down.
Here's the other secret: all those tiresome handwringing pundits, who think that, because young people (and all the rest of us) spend a lot of time online, that means, ipso facto, that we've all become shallow, distracted, and lonely: well, those pundits just need to spend more time–a lot more time–with some of the connected, wired people I know: we wired ones also love to make things. We connected learners also love DIY. Those are not contradictions, they are continuous parts of life. Why don't the tiresome pundits realize this? Why do they make us into stereotypes, automatons, not complex and multi-dimensional human beings, stitched together in all kinds of ways, by all kinds of circumstances.
Think about the possibilities for the handstitched, the handmade that the Web makes possible. Outlets like Etsy allow handwork and handcraft to thrive by providing a vehicle, without intervention of an overseer or price-gauging middle-man, to reach the people who want it, an online bazaar (the original metaphor of the World Wide Web: it's not a cathedral–with flying buttresses and other stable architecture but a crowd-making, on-the-fly-suited-to-the-needs bazaar). Heath Pottery thrives now online. Alabama Chanin thrives online. And those of us who live so much of our lives online, also know the preciousness of, well, hand sewing, of reverse application, as metaphor and lifestyle."
Be sure to read the entire essay here: Reverse Appliqué @alabamachanin or How the Shallow Distracted and Lonely Pundits Miss the Beauty and her brilliant new book, titled Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn.
Browse her website, look for all of her titles, and be inspired.
Thank you to Cathy and everyone who has added their voice to Makeshift 2012.

The purpose of this RFP is to seek proposals and bids from New Hampshire Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) with Special Education Teacher Preparation Programs to develop secondary transition curriculum focused on transition planning, family engagement, and Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs), in their teacher preparation programs. The intent is for students to leave the Special Education Teacher Preparation Program with knowledge of secondary transition practices and strategies they will need to prepare students to be college and career ready.

Next Steps NH Website
The Next Steps NH project provides professional development and coaching to selected New Hampshire high schools for the purpose of increasing the graduation rate of students with disabilities, and students at risk. This is done through the implementation of evidence-informed transition planning practices that help students prepare for college, career and adult life. This website is part of the project and will house all tools and resources developed as part of the project.
The project site is designed to help various users navigate its content by interest area:
In addition, there are various Transition Tools available as well as a valuable Transition Planning Framework. The project site is updated as tools and resources associated with the project are developed and become available.
Beyond the Classroom Website
New Hampshire legislation allowing for credit-bearing learning outside the classroom dates back to 2005. In 2008, the NH Department of Education began a multi-year Extended Learning Opportunities (ELO) Initiative with funding from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation (NMEF). Since then, the initiative has provided financial support and technical assistance to ELO pilot sites, facilitating development of school-level systems to provide students of all types with the opportunity to experience an ELO project. Much of what was learned through that work is represented in this website. This site was developed by the Monadnock Center for Successful Transitions (MCST) at Keene State College, in collaboration with the Q.E.D. Foundation and an advisory group of educators from around New Hampshire.

Charlie Sheen was forced to miss work for two days last week, and only put in half-days of filming Anger Management this week because the self-proclaimed warlock has contracted a nasty case of laryngitis, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
"Filming with Charlie came to a halt last week for two days because he had come down with a nasty case of laryngitis. He was unable to talk at all last week, and has only worked half days this week because Charlie's voice isn't 100 percent," a source close to Sheen told Radar.
"It has essentially shut down production because Charlie is in all of the scenes of the FX show."
Counters another Sheen insider, "The reason he got laryngitis is simple. Charlie has been partying non-stop ever since Brett came onto the scene.

"There is a constant stream of cars coming and going from his Beverly Hills estate. It's the same pattern of behavior that led to the infamous 2011 meltdown."
It's the latest setback for the mercurial actor, after three of his most trusted advisers quit their respective posts last week, amidst concerns about Sheen's new relationship with porn star, Brett Rossi.
Longtime manager Mark Burg, publicist Larry Solters and entertainment lawyer Jake Bloom resigned after expressing their concern about Sheen's girlfriend.
"His team expressed concerns over the relationship… He was not happy with being questioned about who he was dating, so Charlie fired them all. Brett had also encouraged Charlie to get rid of Mark, Larry and Jason because she believed they didn't like her and were sabotaging the relationship," the source previously told Radar.

"Brett is calling all the shots in Charlie's life at the moment and they have only known each other for six weeks! People close to Charlie believe the relationship will eventually fizzle out, but his career could be in tatters by that point."
Burg and Sheen have fallen out many times in the past, most notably during Sheen's epic 2011 meltdown which saw him lose his multi-million dollar job on Two and a Half Men.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
On a Friday night last April, seven picketers--wearing black-pompadoured, suburban-dude masks--lobbed complaints at the empty Entry stage. Their words were fighting ones.
"2i is unfair!"
"You're hurting the music!"
But audience members mingling with the sign wavers didn't seem to fear for their safety. They even smiled indulgently. Something was afoot. Sure enough, the protesters doffed their masks, revealing themselves as members of the very band they were protesting: 2i.
During the next two hours--as 2i performed, moving joyfully between funk greasy with electric piano, spiky, beautiful guitar/sax drones, ranting poetics, and husky, Marianne Faithfull-like vocals--the audience did some protesting of its own. Partiers wandered away when grooves dead-ended in squonking horns. Noise lovers left when the horns slid into cheerful soul-kissed rhythms. Those looking for tidy, three-minute ditties were, in common parlance, S.O.L. By the end of the night, 200 attendees had dwindled to 40 loyal fans. With such a tiny fan base, how did 2i ever fit into the rough-and-tumble atmosphere of the Twin Cities underground in the early Eighties?
It wasn't an entirely smooth transition, if the band's accounts are any indication. In the sweltering lobby of the Cedar Cultural Center, where 2i saxophonist Jay McHale works as volunteer coordinator, he and 2i cofounder/guitarist/trumpeter/spieler Dan Kaniess recall digs aimed at them during their heyday: "You suck! Go to New York where they like this [music]!" The band's dance-oriented side rankled more extreme sonic adventurers: An indignant jazz musician once chastised the band after a show for playing "familiar" sounds. ("And it was one of our noisier shows!" exclaims McHale.)
"People either understood [2i], or they didn't," notes Greg Shaefer--a surf/jazz guitarist who recently released 2i's latest, self-titled album on his Break Even imprint. "There wasn't and still isn't much in between."
2i (a condensation of Molière's play title The Imaginary Invalid) debuted as a quartet at a loft party in 1981 after Kaniess and McHale spent 18 months "squawking in private," exploring the common ground between Coltrane and the Contortions. Over the next six years, they added members (eventually settling on seven) and proceeded to perplex audiences with their anything-goes attitude. Although 2i's heavy experimentation set the band apart from more austere peers like Hüsker Dü (HD road manager Dick Madden played alto sax with 2i for years), bookers still found a place for 2i on their bills. The band even headlined at the Entry on Friday and Saturday nights--a practice discontinued when it became apparent that, according to McHale, "you can't really drink to this stuff."
You could, however, dance to it--that is, if you could clog, waltz, and frug in the course of a set. Kaniess recalls a frustrated friend telling him, "Pick a direction and stick with it so that we know what you're doing." But 2i's artistic license made for some exhilarating opportunities. They were just as likely to play a late-night folk-dance party or assemble an impromptu 32-piece "heavy-metal orchestra" as they were to play a VFW hall with Rifle Sport and Man-Sized Action. Still, 2i's improvisational expansiveness, lack of easily parsed hooks, and dearth of interpersonal drama (the duo remember one local weekly that chided them for too much onstage chumminess) meant that clubgoers' fickle attentions often turned toward other suitors. Kaniess points out that the Minutemen received praise for musical tactics that 2i drew fire for: wobbly horns, quirky rhythms, shouted free verse.
Yet it was low-budget touring, not lack of popularity, that turned out to be 2i's undoing. A Canadian jaunt that some members loved (McHale counts it as the greatest two weeks of his life) and others loathed (violent hecklers weren't any more fun in a new setting) served as the catalyst for a brief breakup that stretched to a long furlough. McHale recalls what the group had originally intended to tell their audience--"We'll be back in ten minutes,"--and then remembers, "[We came back] nine years later."
But an offer to reunite--opening for local band Flour for the first night of their three-night Entry show in 1995--felt right: It was a one-time agreement and there was no pressure to continue their career. The show was a success, but the band decided against trying to duplicate the experience. "Retiring" every year was contrary to the band's spirit.
Still, 2i was inspired by Blacki--a completely improvisational 2i spin-off started by Kaniess and his wife Sharon, who sang and played guitar and keyboards in 2i--and eventually reconvened, albeit in a slightly different form. The latest version of 2i has new members and a focus on real-time musical R&D (rather than songs), conducted through frequent rehearsals and the occasional live gig. While 2i's essence is the interaction between Kaniess's guitar and McHale's sax, there's plenty of room for other musicians to jump in and take the lead. If nobody is feeling assertive, sometimes Kaniess will play the instigator by dropping a noisy trumpet blast in the middle of a quiet, rolling section, or spontaneously composing free verse over the mic. Other times, cue cards or hand signals made by band members do the trick. Kaniess likens the process of pushing the improvisations toward interesting, uncharted territory to poking the gigantic ball from the sci-fi TV series The Prisoner with a stick.

Japanese robot lost in space mission
TOKYO (Reuters) – A miniature robot released by a Japanese
space probe to a small asteroid circling the Sun was lost
before it was able to land on the asteroid's surface, the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) reported on Sunday.
Minerva, a 10 cm (3.9 inch) long can-shaped "baby" robot,
had been designed to gather information on the Itokawa asteroid
as part of a rehearsal ahead of the unmanned Hayabusa probe's
own landing on the asteroid Itokawa scheduled for Nov 19.
Minerva's landing was to have been the first attempt by
Japan to send information-gathering equipment to an astronomic
object outside the Earth.
Equipped with a camera and thermometers, Minerva was meant
to hop around Itokawa and send data such as surface
temperatures and images back to Earth via Hayabusa, the Kyodo
news agency reported.
A previous attempt to land Minerva earlier this month was
aborted due to technical problems.
Itokawa, a 600 meter (1,970 feet)-long asteroid that
travels on an orbit that takes it between earth and Mars, is
named after Hideo Itokawa, the father of Japan's space
exploration program. It is currently around 290 million km (180
million miles) away from the Earth.
Junichiro Kawaguchi, a professor at JAXA, said scientists
had miscalculated the best moment to release Minerva, a task
made difficult by Hayabusa's changing altitude over the
"It is very disappointing that it did not work out nicely.
We found out various things about the asteroid, so we will
study the data and hope it will lead to the successful landing
of Hayabusa," Kyodo quoted him as saying.
Hayabusa, which was fired into space on May 9, 2003, has
been hovering over Itokawa for almost two months.
The space craft is designed to swoop down on the asteroid
on two separate occasions and gather samples before returning
to Earth.
Scientists hope that by studying samples of the asteroid's
surface they will be able learn more about the origins of the
