Commander Beverly Cheryl Crusher (née Howard) was the Chief Medical Officer aboard the USS Enterprise-D and its successor, the USS Enterprise-E, both under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Early life
Dr. Crusher was born as Beverly Howard in Copernicus City on Earth's moon in 2324. (TNG: "Conundrum") Her ancestry is from North America (TNG: "The High Ground"), although her distant ancestors hail from Scotland. While Beverly was still a young child, both of her parents were killed. She was raised by her grandmother, Felisa Howard, whom Beverly referred to as "Nana." (TNG: "Sub Rosa") Both Howards were present during the terrible disaster at the Arvada III colony, and it was during this time Felisa learned how to use herbs and roots for medicinal purposes after regular medical supplies had been exhausted. This inspired Beverly to a career in medicine. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom") Beverly and Felisa later moved to the Caldos colony, where Felisa became a healer until her death in 2370 at age 100. (TNG: "Sub Rosa")
- It was never established how Beverly's parents died or when, only that she had very few memories of them. It is entirely possible they were killed on Arvada III, but "The Arsenal of Freedom" seems to imply Beverly was much older during that incident, which was also never fully explained. A line cut from "Sub Rosa" states Beverly considered Caldos her home until she married Jack in 2348.
Beverly's childhood was mostly happy, although she did go through the same difficulties in making friends and relating to other children that most youngsters experience. (TNG: "The Offspring")
As a thirteen-year old, rebellious Beverly dyed her hair and became a brunette, although she recalled years later that she "couldn't change it back fast enough." (TNG: "The Quality of Life")
In her later teens, Beverly admitted she developed a smart-aleck mouth, which often got her into trouble. She brought a date with a young man named Tom Norris to an abrupt end with the question: "Is that a beard or is your face dirty?" Beverly later realized that she had really hurt him, and from that point on she was more concious of others' feelings. (TNG: "Attached")
Academy and early Starfleet career
Beverly was admitted to the Starfleet Medical School in 2342. During this time, she became romantically involved with Jack Crusher after being introduced by their mutual friend, Walker Keel (TNG: "Conspiracy") The two were married in 2348 after Jack proposed to her through a gag gift, a book entitled How to Advance Your Career Through Marriage. (TNG: "Family") Jack served aboard the USS Stargazer under Picard, and the couple became good friends with the captain. Picard later admitted he had fallen in love with Beverly, but did not act on his feelings because he felt doing so would betray his friend. (TNG: "Attached")
- Beverly may have served aboard the Stargazer at some point, explaining the large amounts of time she spent with Picard while he was captain of the Stargazer. Clearly, she was gone by the time of Jack's death.
The Crushers welcomed a son, Wesley Crusher, in 2349. Beverly graduated from Starfleet Medical School the following year, and interned with Dr. Dalen Quaice on Delos IV in 2352. (TNG: "Remember Me") Jack died on an away mission while serving aboard the Stargazer in 2354. Picard brought Jack's body home to the grieving Beverly and Wesley. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", "Violations") Beverly never fully recovered from his death. (TNG: "The Bonding", "True-Q") Crusher took the Starfleet bridge officer examination in 2362, and was promoted to commander. (TNG: "Thine Own Self")
Aboard the USS Enterprise
The Enterprise-D
Dr. Crusher was appointed chief medical officer of the Starship Enterprise-D in 2364, and joined the ship at Farpoint Station with Wesley (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint"), reporting onboard on stardate 41154. (TNG: "Remember Me") Picard initially had reservations about her presence, but she assured him that the past would have no effect on her duties and she had no problem serving under his command. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
In 2364, Captain Picard invited Crusher on a holodeck adventure set in the fictional world of Dixon Hill. They were joined by Data and Ship's Historian Whalen. Unfortunately, a malfunction in the holodeck systems due to a Jarada scan caused the safeties to become disengaged, trapping the group at the whim of Cyrus Redblock. They were later freed, but not after Redblock shot Whalen and threatened to kill Beverly. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
Crusher was offered a position as head of Starfleet Medical in 2365 and left the Enterprise during that year. She was replaced by Dr. Katherine Pulaski. (TNG: "The Child") She found it difficult to be away, however, and decided to return to the ship the following year. (TNG: "Evolution")
- The reason for Beverly's return was never explicitly stated.
Dr. Quaice retired in 2367 shortly after the death of his wife, and the Enterprise-D picked him up at Starbase 133 to ferry him home. Although he was in good spirits, he was slightly saddened at the prospect of facing the future without many of his friends, a feeling Beverly knew all too well. At the same time, Wesley Crusher was experimenting with a novel warp bubble. Beverly became trapped in this bubble, and her thoughts at the time created a universe where everyone and everything quickly began disappearing. With the assistance of The Traveler, Wesley was able to create a gateway back to the normal universe. Dr. Crusher was able to deduce what was happening in her universe, and escaped just before the bubble collapsed. (TNG: "Remember Me")
Beverly was questioned in connection with the explosion that crippled the Enterprise's warp core in 2367. Her testimony was twisted by Admiral Norah Satie in order to implicate the quarter-Romulan crewman Simon Tarses in the incident, later determined to be an accident. (TNG: "The Drumhead")
When the Enterprise entered a temporal causality loop while exploring the Typhon Expanse, Beverly's feelings of deja vu and evidence of temporal phenomena lead to a solution which allowed the ship to break the cycle. (TNG: "Cause and Effect")
The senior staff of the Enterprise traveled back to the late 19th century in order to stop Devidian lifeforms from feeding on the neural energy of humans from that era, and prevent the apparent death of Commander Data in that time. Beverly assumed the guise of a nurse and, along with Deanna Troi, experienced quite a bit of discomfort with the corsets of the period. Crusher determined why the Devidians traveled back to that era, and was almost a victim of their energy-draining device. (TNG: "Time's Arrow, Part II")
In 2369, Admiral Alynna Nechayev assigned Crusher, along with Captain Picard and Lieutenant Worf, to a covert mission to seek out and destroy a Cardassian metagenic weapon on Celtris III. Her purpose was to locate and destroy any biological material related to the weapon. The group went through a rigorous training program for the mission, and it was physically straining on Beverly. She used her charms to get a Ferengi, DaiMon Solok, to secure the team passage to Celtris III, and navigated the the dangerous caves of Celtris to what was believed to be the launching point for the weapon. It turned out to be a ruse intended to capture Picard, although Worf and Crusher escaped. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I") As a form of psychological torture under Gul Madred, Picard was offered freedom, but was told Beverly had been captured. Madred said that she would be tortured if Picard left, forcing the captain to stay. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II")
Discoveries and research
Crusher had to deal with various epidemics aboard the Enterprise, including the Psi 2000 virus in 2364. The virus was different than that encountered by the original Starship Enterprise nearly a century prior, and Crusher had to modify Dr. McCoy's antivirus to help her ship. (TNG: "The Naked Now")
Another disease ravaged the ship later that year, when students returning from a field trip on Quazulu VIII brought along a deadly respiratory virus. Fortunately, Beverly's skills led her to an antidote, averting disaster. (TNG: "Angel One")
Beverly helped reconstruct Lore after the Enterprise found him abandoned on Omicron Theta, becoming very familiar with Data's workings in the process. (TNG: "Datalore," "The Game")
Crusher was the first to observe the parasites which attempted to take control of the Federation in 2364, and determined a way to remove them from the host. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
A Romulan scout was found crashed on Galorndon Core in 2366, and Crusher was in charge of treating the sole survivor. Although she improvised as much as she could, there was not much medical knowledge available on Romulans and the survivor later died. (TNG: "The Enemy")
While visiting the Borg cube which invaded Federation space in 2367, Crusher came up with the idea of damaging the Borg ship's power nodes in order to halt their progress towards Earth. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I") Crusher later helped Commander Data link with Locutus of Borg, Picard's assimilated alter ego. She realized that the Borg interdependency was a great weakness, and suggested Data use a seemingly benign command to shut the Borg down. After the crisis, Crusher pioneered the surgical techniques used for removing implants from Picard. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")'
When young Willie Potts was poisoned after eating a native plant on Ogus II, Crusher stabilized his condition and kept him healthy enough to live until the ship arrived at a medical facility designed to treat the poisoning. This task was complicated by the fact that the Enterprise had been hijacked by Data after his "father," Noonien Soong, sent out a signal to bring him to Soong's location. Power was needed from the quarantine field in order to restore the ship's systems, and Dr. Crusher needed to determine the precise amount of energy needed to keep Willie safe. (TNG: "Brothers")
In 2367, Beverly assisted in the delivery of a large spacebourne lifeform whose mother was accidentally killed by the Enterprise. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child")
Later that year, Dr. Crusher developed a method of treating victims of the Tarchannen III aliens; unfortunately, the treatment was only effective on individuals who had only recently begun metamorphosis. (TNG: "Identity Crisis")
Dr. Crusher was the first non-Trill to study their anatomy and transplant a symbiont into a new host. (TNG: "The Host")
When noncoporeal criminals imprisoned on Mab-Bu VI took over the bodies of Troi, Data, and O'Brien, Crusher helped design a neutrino field that would force out and then trap the lifeforms. Unfortunately, the timing was not right and the crew was forced to abandon the use of the device. (TNG: "Power Play")
Worf was paralyzed after an accident in the cargo bay in 2368. Beverly invited the noted neuroscientist Dr. Toby Russell to the Enterprise to confer on treatments. Crusher wanted to use traditional treatment options, but Russell pushed for a radical new surgical technique using a genitronic replicator. Dr. Crusher turned down the plan, feeling it to be too risky. Russell suggested the replicator to Worf anyway, angering Beverly. She later relieved Russell from duty after she used one of her experimental drugs to treat a disaster victim when a traditional medication would have saved his life. Furthermore, Crusher was frustrated by the fact that Worf wanted to commit suicide rather than live as a paraplegic. She was adamant that neither the surgery or suicide was possible, but after talking to Captain Picard, she realized that the genitronic replicator was Worf's best chance at staying alive. Crusher reluctantly granted permission for the surgery and it was ultimately successful thanks to the redundancies of Klingon anatomy, although Crusher still did not approve of Russell's methods. (TNG: "Ethics")
When Ambassador Ves Alkar began using Deanna Troi as a receptacle for his psychic "waste" in 2369, Crusher developed a way to break his link on her and restore Troi to normal. (TNG: "Man of the People")
Crusher was the first to study a macroscopic coalescent organism found on Relay Station 47 in 2369. (TNG: "Aquiel")
Also in 2369, Beverly was a major participant in the race to decipher the final research of Dr. Richard Galen. Her contributions, along with those of the Enterprise-D crew and various other interests, led to the discovery of a message from the Progenitors, the oldest sentient humanoid species. (TNG: "The Chase")
Crusher unwittingly caused the first case of Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome in 2370. She used a synthetic T-cell to treat Lieutenant Reginald Barclay's case of Urodelan flu, intending for the T-cell to activate a dormant gene and allow him to fight the infection. Another anomaly in Barclay's genes caused the T-cell to mutate, and it began activating other dormant introns. The T-cell became airbourne and rapidly spread to the rest of the ship, causing the entire Enterprise crew to "de-evolve" to earlier evolutionary stages. (TNG: "Genesis")
In command
As a fully certified bridge officer, Crusher has commanded the Enterprise-D on several occasions, most notably in 2370 while nearly the entire crew was searching for Data on a renegade Borg planet. The ship was attacked by a Borg vessel, but her quick thinking allowed the Enterprise to escape and destroy the Borg ship. (TNG: "Descent, Part I," "Descent, Part II") She also occasionally commanded night watch shifts in order to stay on top of starship operations. (TNG: "Thine Own Self")
Conflicts with the Prime Directive
Dr. Crusher's empathy for her patients and her concern for their care above everything else occasionally causes problems, as when she rescued a native of Mintaka III during an emergency mission to a cultural observation outpost on the Bronze-age world. The Mintakan, Liko, awoke in the Enterprise sickbay and saw Captain Picard, believing him to be a god. After he was returned to his people, his story caused confusion and paranoia until Picard was able to prove that he too, was mortal. (TNG: "Who Watches the Watchers?")
Also in 2366, Beverly was taken captive on the wartorn planet of Rutia IV after tending to citizens wounded during an Ansata attack. Their leader, Finn, wanted to have her cure the internal damage caused as a result of the terrorists' use of a folded-space transport device, but Crusher was eventually rescued. (TNG: "The High Ground")
Crusher made her feelings about the empathic metamorph Kamala and her "duty" quite clear when the Enterprise played host to peace negotiations between Krios and Vault in 2368. She felt Kamala was being forced into what amounted to slavery, and resented the the fact that she was confined to quarters aboard the ship. (TNG: "The Perfect Mate")
In 2368, the Enterprise discovered a crashed Borg vessel in the Argolis Cluster. There was one survivor, Third of Five, later known as Hugh. Although Lieutenant Worf and several Enterprise crewmembers wanted to kill the drone, it was due to Crusher's insistence that he was brought aboard and nursed back to health. Beverly strongly disagreed with the plan to send Hugh back with a computer virus designed to infect the Borg Collective, yet helped Chief Engineer Geordi LaForge work with Hugh to construct such a weapon. Eventually, Captain Picard decided against using the virus, but the Enterprise crew did not realize at the time that the personality Hugh developed working with Crusher and the rest of the crew would be nearly as damaging. (TNG: "I, Borg," "Descent, Part II")
Beverly attended the Altine Conference in 2369, and learned of the research of a Ferengi scientist named Reyga. He believed he had found the secret to metaphasic shielding, but many other scientists were skeptical of his claims. Crusher organized a small conference aboard the Enterprise and invited several leading scientists in the field of subspace morphology to view a test of the technology on the Shuttlecraft Justman. Unfortunately, the test was sabotaged by a Takaran scientist named Jo'Bril, who staged his own death and then murdered Reyga by making it appear he had committed suicide in order to discredit the Ferengi. Jo'Bril had planned to steal the design for his own malicious use. Beverly felt responsible for the two deaths, and was determined to find the cause of the accidents. Crusher broke a number of rules, including performing an autopsy on Reyga against the tenets of the Ferengi death ritual, and was relieved of duty. After some helpful encouragement from Guinan, she eventually discovered Jo'Bril's plan, prevented him from stealing the data, and proved the technology was valid. Crusher was exonerated and returned to duty shortly following the incident. (TNG: "Suspicions")
The Enterprise observed the destruction of Boraal II's biosphere in 2370. Crusher supported Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko's plan to save a small group of the Boraalans, feeling that the Prime Directive did not apply since the people would be destroyed anyhow. She was saddened when Picard did not take any action, and was confronted with a new dillema when Rozhenko went over Picard's head and transported the group to the Enterprise holodeck. Along with Commander Data, Crusher had to decide on an appropriate new home for the Boraalans, a decision which weighed heavily on her shoulders. She correctly assumed that any choice made would shape the development of the Boraalan civilization for centuries to come. The Boraalan group was subsequently moved to Vacca VI, which had a climate somewhat less hospitable, but was in a secluded location. (TNG: "Homeward")
In 2364, Crusher sustained superficial phaser burns, after she was attacked by Lore. (TNG: "Datalore")
Also that year, Dr. Crusher was injured during an away mission to planet Minos. She and Captain Picard were being chased by one of the automated weapon drones on the planet, and the pair fell into an abandoned bunker. Crusher had lost her medical kit and was going into shock, but she kept awake long enough to instruct Picard on how to use the native plants to treat her wounds. She was rescued after Picard and Data figured out how to disable the weapons. (TNG: "The Arsenal of Freedom")
A Ullian named Jev visited the Enterprise in 2368, and mentally attacked several crewmembers, including Crusher, causing them to fall into a coma for a brief period of time. (TNG: "Violations")
The Q entity turned Beverly into a dog in 2369, but Amanda Rogers, another Q, returned her to human form. (TNG: "True-Q")
Under the tutelage of Worf, Beverly was very eager to learn advanced Klingon martial arts. She attempted the techniques as fast as possible, to varying degrees of success. She was slightly injured during a training session in 2369, although she admitted it was more of a blow to her pride. (TNG: "The Quality of Life")
The Enterprise aided a Romulan warbird damaged after an alien species used the artificial quantum singularity in its warp core as a nest for its young in late 2369. The Warbird was evacuated, and survivors were brought to sickbay. One of the aliens was masquerading as a Romulan female and was discovered by a Romulan crewmember. He fired a disruptor on disintegrate at her, but Dr. Crusher got in the way and was hit. When time was reversed and restored, Counselor Troi was on hand to move Crusher out of the way in time. (TNG: "Timescape")
Crusher was severely injured in 2370 by Lieutenant Worf, affected by Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome. She was placed into stasis after being nearly paralyzed by venom, and required reconstructive surgery. Therefore, she did not "de-evolve" with the rest of the crew at that point in time. (TNG: "Genesis")
- Placing Crusher in stasis during "Genesis" was a way of allowing actress Gates McFadden more time behind the camera as director of the episode.
The Enterprise-E
The Enterprise-D was destroyed in 2371 following a crash landing of the saucer section on planet Veridian III. Although there were no fatalities, there were many wounded, which kept Crusher quite busy. (Star Trek: Generations)
She transferred to the newly-commissioned Enterprise-E the following year. Her command abilities were put to good use during the ship's near assimilation by the Borg during its trip to the year 2063, where she served as temporary executive officer during the crisis. Dr. Crusher also stayed calm when the Borg invaded sickbay. Even though she was not fond of the Emergency Medical Hologram, she successfully used it as a decoy to keep the Borg distracted while the sickbay staff and patients made it to relative safety. (Star Trek: First Contact)
In 2375, Beverly was part of the diplomatic contingent welcoming the Evora as a protectorate into the Federation. She also aided Captain Picard in his struggle to keep the Ba'ku from being relocated by the Son'a, and was the first to realize that both species were of the same ancestry. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
- The script for Star Trek: Nemesis, along with the novelization, implies Crusher became head of Starfleet Medical once again at the end
- of the film. All reference to this happening was eliminated from the final version and did not even make it to the cut scenes on the DVD, so canonically, she is still chief medical officer of the Enterprise-E.
Personal interests
Beverly is an accomplished thespian and playwright. She formed a theater troupe aboard the Enterprise (TNG: "The Nth Degree") and produced several classic and original plays, sometimes to the dismay of the crewmembers she sought to fill the roles. (TNG: "Disaster," "A Fistful of Datas," "Frame of Mind") She wrote the plays Something for Breakfast (TNG: "A Fistful of Datas") and Frame of Mind. (TNG: "Frame of Mind") At various points, her troupe included Will Riker (TNG: "A Fistful of Datas," "Frame of Mind"), Data (TNG: "Frame of Mind"), Geordi LaForge (TNG: "Disaster"), Reg Barclay(TNG: "The Nth Degree"), and even Captain Picard. (TNG: "A Fistful of Datas")
Although she is not shy about her theatrical abilities, Beverly was somewhat ashamed of her past as a dancer, not wanting to be known by her nickname, "The Dancing Doctor." She studied tap and jazz dance, winning several awards in St. Louis. (TNG: "Data's Day," "Ensign Ro," "The Game")
Other hobbies
Beverly has varied interests in cybernetics (TNG: "11001001," "Ethics") and ethnobotany (TNG: "Clues," "Cause and Effect"), writing papers on the subjects (TNG: "Ethics"). She studied the Klingon mok'bara and other martial arts with Lieutenant Worf. (TNG: "The Quality of Life," "Sub Rosa," "Masks") Crusher was also a regular participant in the Enterprise-D poker games (TNG: "Cause and Effect," "The Outcast," "The Quality of Life," "Lower Decks," "All Good Things...") and enjoyed holodeck simulations of Alture VII (TNG: "Birthright, Part I") and the Orient Express. (TNG: "Emergence")
Personal relationships
Crusher was quite close to several members of the Enterprise crew. She was good friends with with Deanna Troi, and the two would often work out or take mok'bara classes together, as well as talk. (TNG: "The Price," "Family," "Second Chances," "Sub Rosa," "Masks")
She was also interested in the well-being of her staff, and was especially close to Nurse Alyssa Ogawa. She often advised Ogawa on her romantic affairs, including that with her future husband, Andrew Powell. (TNG: "Imaginary Friend," "Lower Decks," "Genesis")
Beverly and Data also had a special relationship, with Data seeking advice from Beverly on subjects ranging from parenting (TNG: "The Offspring") to dancing. She taught Data to tap dance, not knowing that he had intended to learn how to dance for the wedding of Miles O'Brien and Keiko Ishikawa. (TNG: "Data's Day") Data also came to her for advice on whether or not to consider the exocomps alive, and she was present when Data learned they were indeed sentient. (TNG: "The Quality of Life")
Wesley Crusher
Jack and Beverly took Wesley to Balfour Lake on his first camping trip while he was still very young. Beverly later recalled with amusement that Wesley entertained himself by throwing manta leaves into the fire. (TNG: "Attached")
During his early childhood, Wesley had problems making friends. Beverly explained she had the same experience as a youngster, to help him feel better about the situation. (TNG: "The Offspring")
Beverly never used physical violence to punish Wesley. The only time she ever struck him was during Ambassador Sarek's visit to the Enterprise-D in 2366. Sarek was affected by Bendii Syndrome and his negative emotions were projected onto the crew. (TNG: "Sarek")
Wesley came aboard the Enterprise with Beverly in 2364. He accompanied her on the turbolift to the bridge, initially drawing the ire of Captain Picard. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
While visiting planet Rubicun III, Wes was arrested and sentenced to death for commiting a minor violation of the Edo laws. Dr. Crusher was extremely upset, vowing that she would not let the Edo execute her son. Along with the Enterprise crew, she convinced the Edolord that the law was unjust and Wesley should be spared. (TNG: "Justice")
Wesley was the only person to realize that Lore had taken Data's place when the ship first recovered him in 2364. Picard ordered him off the bridge after he spoke his concerns, forcing Beverly to follow him. Wes later convinced her to go reactivate Data and investigate Lore's activities. This ultimately prevented the Crystalline Entity from harvesting the Enterprise crew as an energy source. (TNG: "Datalore")
During Crusher's posting to Starfleet Medical in 2365, Wesley remained aboard the ship. Commander Riker and Lieutenant Worf were responsible for caring for Wesley in her abscence. (TNG: "The Child") After Beverly returned, she became concerned that Wesley was spending too much time on duty and not enough time socializing and being a teenager. Moreover, she felt she had missed out on much of his life, and was having trouble reconnecting to him. Later on, she learned that Wes did indeed have teenaged friends. She noticed one of his attractive female companions, and tried to get more information about her from Guinan, as a good mother would. (TNG: "Evolution")
Wesley was to leave for the Academy in 2367, but was delayed while assisting in a rescue of Commander Riker, Counselor Troi, and Ambassador Lwaxana Troi. Because he was set back one year, Picard promoted him to full ensign, making Dr. Crusher extremely proud. (TNG: "Menage a Troi"). Wesley finally left to attend the Academy in 2367, separating the Crushers yet again. (TNG: "Final Mission") He did not get around to writing Beverly until much later in the year. (TNG: "The Host")
In 2368, Nova Squadron members, including Wesley, were involved in a disaster which led to the death of one cadet, Joshua Albert. They illegally used the Kolvoord Starburst manuever and then lied to an inquiry panel about the circumstances surrounding the incident. Dr. Crusher rallied behind her son and defended the team on behalf of the other parents even in the face of evidence which indicated they were being deceptive. She was disappointed with Wesley's conduct when the truth was revealed. (TNG: "The First Duty")
Wes returned to visit the Enterprise-D in 2370. He became very rude and abrasive to his former crewmates, including his mother, and jeapordized a Federation operation on the Dorvan V colony. After meeting with The Traveler once more, Wes realized that his destiny did not include Starfleet at that moment in time, and he resigned his commission. Beverly was apprehensive about his departure, but realized that he was now a young man and needed to make his own decisions. (TNG: "Journey's End")
Wesley returned to finish his studies well before 2379, attending the wedding of Will Riker and Deanna Troi with Dr. Crusher. (Star Trek: Nemesis)
Aside from her marriage to Jack Crusher, Beverly has been involved in a number of romances. She recalled her first crush, as an eight-year old on a eleven-year old soccer player named Stephan, led to fantasies about having children, a career, and a happy life. (TNG: "The Host")
Sometime before she met Jack, she had an intense weeklong relationship with an unidentified man. (TNG: "The Price")
While on the Enterprise-D, Crusher was enamored with a Zalkonian she named John Doe, rescued from a crashed escape pod in 2366. Thanks to her help, John evolved into another form of life and returned to Zalkon to help others of his kind escape repression. (TNG: "Transfigurations")
She fell very much in love with the Trill ambassador Odan in 2367, not knowing that he was in fact a joined lifeform. Odan's host at the time was killed in a shuttlecraft accident, but the symbiont survived. It was implanted in Will Riker, causing Beverly to experience many mixed feelings. She was able to accept and love Odan in Riker's body, but when Odan was implanted in a new Trill host, this time a female, she ended the relationship. Although she still loved Odan, she could not deal with the uncertainty and frequent changes of the Trill species. (TNG: "The Host")
After returning to Caldos in 2370 for her grandmother's funeral, Beverly learned that Felisa apparently had a thirty-four year old lover named Ronin. Ronin was actually an anaphasic lifeform who had been living with Howard women since taking up residence with Jessel Howard the 1600s. Her biochemistry allowed him to maintain molecular cohesion, and he formed a symbiotic relationship with all of her descendants. Ronin had a strong hypnotic influence and Beverly was bewitched, resigning her post on the Enterprise to move to Caldos. She eventually came to her senses after Ronin killed a resident of Caldos and seriously injured Captain Picard, Commander Data, and Commander LaForge. She was forced to destroy Ronin after he tried to merge with her. (TNG: "Sub Rosa")
Jean-Luc Picard
Beverly and Jean-Luc maintained a close friendship while serving on the Enterprise-D, usually sharing their morning meal and talking when one or the other needed advice. (TNG: "The Perfect Mate," "Lessons," "The Chase," "Attached," Star Trek: Nemesis) Their relationship stayed platonic for the most part, despite close calls under the influence of the Psi 2000 virus (TNG: "The Naked Now") and a duplicate of Picard which replaced the captain in order to learn about human relationships. (TNG: "Allegiance") However, it was clear both desired something more, even if it was subconcious. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye," "Coming of Age," "The Arsenal of Freedom," "The High Ground," "Remember Me," "The Host," "Lessons") In 2370, Picard and Crusher were taken captive on planet Kesprytt, and were linked together by psi-wave devices in order to decrease the odds of their escape. The devices transmitted their thoughts to one another, and it was at this time both confirmed the other's affections. Beverly ultimately decided that she did not want to ruin their friendship or be placed in a conflict of interest, and their relationship didn't go any further at that time. (TNG: "Attached")
- It has been stated that the reason Beverly and Jean-Luc did not get together was to leave the captain free for possible movie storylines, such as that in Star Trek: Insurrection.
Alternate timelines
An alternate version of Beverly Crusher was chief medical officer on the Enterprise-D created after the USS Enterprise-C briefly entered the year 2366 through a temporal rift. She strongly objected to the plan to send the Enterprise-C back to its proper time, and wondered if she would even be alive in the restored timeline. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")
Beverly was also chief medical officer on several Enterprises in alternate universes visited by Lieutenant Worf in 2370, following his encounter with a quantum fissure. (TNG: "Parallels")In Q's anti-time present, Crusher was able to figure out that the temporal anomaly's effects were causing the crew's cellular structure to revert to earlier stages of development. At the same time, she became concerned about Picard's well-being after he learned he would be diagnosed with Irumodic syndrome sometime in the future. This caused her to reconsider her relationship with Jean-Luc, and she reversed her earlier decision to remain just friends. These events were eradicated from the timeline following the collapse of the anomaly, and it is unknown if they transpired in the "true" timeline.
In Q's anti-time future, Beverly had been promoted to captain and was commanding the medical ship USS Pasteur. She had also married Picard and then divorced him quite some years prior, but had kept the surname of Picard following the divorce. She was initially skeptical of her former captain's claims about a temporal anomaly, but devoted the Pasteur to searching for it as a favor to the man she still considered a good friend. The Pasteur was destroyed in a Klingon attack, but Picard later convinced Beverly and his other friends that the anomaly was a real danger, and they returned aboard the future USS Enterprise-D to collapse it. (TNG: "All Good Things...")

On Saturday\, May 18th\, Strike Debt Bay Area will host the Bay Area's Second De btors' Assembly. (The first one was held in February. The beautiful poster s for both created by SDBA organizer Sandy Sanders are shown below.)\n
As individuals\, families\, and communities\, most of us are drowni ng in debt for the basic things we need to live\, including housing\, educ ation\, and health care. Even those of us who do not have personal debt ar e affected by predatory lending. Our essential public services are cut bec ause our cities and towns are held hostage by the same big banks that have been bailed out by our government. All of us are outraged that big banks don't have to pay their debts\, but we do.\n
Debt keeps us isolated\ , ashamed\, and afraid—of becoming homeless\, of going hungry\, of being c rippled or killed by treatable illness\, or of being trapped in poverty-le vel jobs. Those facing foreclosure\, medical debt\, student debt\, or cred it card debt feel alone\, hounded by debt collectors\, and forced into unr ewarding work to keep up with payments.\n
Strike Debt is building a movement to challenge this system while creating alternatives and support ing each other. At the Debtors' Assembly we will come together as a commun ity and begin to rethink debt\, not as an issue of individual shame\, but as a political platform for collective resistance and action. Come to the Assembly to learn about tools for escaping the closing walls of debt\, to share resources and skills\, and to magnify our assembled energy. As we s hare our experiences we can begin to take back from the financiers what th ey have taken from us: our freedom and our future.\n
Debt resistance is just the beginning. Join us as we imagine and create a new world based on the common good\, not Wall Street profits.\n
ORGANIZATION INFO: Strike Debt Bay Area is the local chapter of Strike Debt\, an international movement of groups working to build popular resistance to all forms of unjust debt. Strike Debt has organized the Rolling Jubilee\, the Debt Resistors Operations Manual\, and loca l debtors' assemblies. Strike Debt supports the creation of just and susta inable economies\, based on mutual aid\, common goods\, and public affluen ce. We owe the financial institutions nothing. It is to our friends\, fa milies and community that we owe everything.\n

The Bajoran phaser was the Bajoran Militia's standard issue sidearm. In the mirror universe it was called a disruptor pistol. The Bajorans produced three types of these weapons, two pistol types, and one rifle. (DS9: "Resurrection", "Who Mourns for Morn?")
In 2369 Major Kira Nerys and two Bajoran security officers were armed with Bajoran phasers when they returned to the moon Jerrado and remove Mullibok, Baltrim, and Keena by force. Mullibok asked Kira if she planned to use this weapon and Kira answered "Protocol". (DS9: "Progress")
The same year Major Kira and two Bajoran officers used Bajoran phasers to take control over ops while all participants were affected by the Saltah'na energy spheres. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
These weapons made a distinct sound when used - pinned down in the cargo bay by Jem'Hadar fire while fighting their way to toward DS9's main computer, Rom recognized the gunshots they heard as coming from Bajoran phasers, which left Kira mystified. Just as she wordered aloud why Dominion soldiers would use Bajoran phasers, the shooting stopped, and they saw that, with one exception, their users were indeed Bajoran - as the Jem'Hadar had focused on the escaped prisoners, Odo and his security forces had snuck up from behind and picked them off one by one. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")

If you are traveling by air this Thanksgiving, maybe you've wondered, what seat is considered "the best" in the air?
Flight-comparison web site Skyscanner surveyed 1,000 people on their seat preferences, and it turns out the most sought after seat on a standard aircraft is a window seat. But not just any window seat, it's seat 6A, a window seat up front.
So what's the worst seat? Turns out the seat no-one wants is 31E, a middle seat toward the back of the aircraft.

Eighteenth Judicial District Attorney Carol Chambers said Friday her office is investigating a former employee of Strategic Allied Consulting — a voter- registration firm recently fired by the Colorado Republican Party.
The Colorado secretary of state requested the investigation into a former Strategic employee's actions allegedly committed at the Castlewood Library in Arapahoe County.
The firm had a $400,000 contract with the Colorado Republican Party to register voters.
Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Nancy Doty told The Denver Post on Thursday she had never heard of the firm.
There are investigations into the company's work in Florida, too, according to NBC News.

Strategic Allied Consulting is a Washington, D.C.-based firm that had a $2.9 million contract with the Republican National Committee to register voters in several swing states, including Colorado.
Chambers' office clarified Friday that the entire firm is not under investigation, just a former employee and an "alleged act."

People at risk
Drought, floods, deforestation and poor agricultural prospects drove some 25 million environmental refugees off the land into already crowded shanty towns.
That year, they represented 58% of the total refugee population worldwide.
Disasters, of course, can be tectonic (earthquakes, volcanoes) or man-made (deforestation) without being climatic. But the Red Cross - in its annual World Disasters Report - found that climatic unpredictability caused by global warming was "colliding" with social problems like rapid urbanization to create "super-disasters".
Storm victims buried in mass graves
Hurricane Mitch, which smashed into Central America in October 1998, was among the first to be identified as such. One of the strongest storms ever recorded in the Atlantic, it was also one of the most unpredictable. When it moved inland after making landfall on the coast of Honduras, the country was taken by surprise.
Mitch dumped phenomenal quantities of rain onto often illegal barrios built on deforested hillsides that quickly collapsed, causing lethal mudslides. It swept away entire villages, flattened the centre of the Honduran capital and turned rivers into lakes overnight. Some storm victims had to be buried anonymously in mass graves.
There's been nothing like Mitch since.
But insurance claims for four recent hurricanes - Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne - could top $20 billion, according to the Insurance Bureau of America.
And the human cost is deadly. Hurricane Jeanne alone killed 1,500 people in desperately-poor Haiti, where again deforestation was believed to have made things much worse.
France was shaken to the core by the heatwave
Even industrialized countries, with high-tech meteorological and rescue services, have begun to feel the full impact of destructive climate change.
In August 2003 an extreme heatwave in France took nearly 15,000 lives - many of them neglected elderly people.
From one extreme to the other, in Britain the insurance industry said that $370 billion worth of property was now at risk from river or coastal flooding.
The worst typhoon in more than a decade tore through Japan in October 2004, killing nearly 100 people.
Earlier in the year, the farmers of eastern Australia were only just recovering from bush fires and the worst drought for 100 years when they were hit by great swarms of locusts.
Some small island nations face obliteration
Some countries - especially the world's small island nations - face complete obliteration from climate change and rising sea levels.
Take the Maldives - a string of coral islands in the Indian Ocean which some scientists predict will be inundated completely within 30 years. Three of the archipelago's 280 inhabited islands have already been evacuated, and a new capital, Hulhumale, is being built on a reef bolstered with sand. When completed in 2020, it should house close to half the country's current population of 340,000.
I have lost my crops almost five times in last few years. Crops are badly damaged when brackish water enters into agricultural land after breaching the embankments.
The seashore is now much closer to my village, with dramatic consequences. For example, a mosque and five residential houses have been washed away by the sea over the years.

Six years ago the Solar Oven team partnered with Grupo Fenix, an organization from the Universidad Nacional de Ingeneria in Nicaragua that works in rural areas to increase awareness of sustainable lifestyles and research renewable energy, and Las Mujeres Solares de Totogalpa, a collective of women using solar technologies to offset te use of woody fuels in their homes. In a region suffering from deforestation, Solar Ovens eliminate the need for women to spend hours of their day gathering resources and reduce the health risks from fires. dealing specifically with a small community in Sabana Grande, the Solar Oven Team works to increase Solar Oven usage by creating a sustainable solution that is culturally acceptable and desirable.
Amenecer's current goals
Test several alternative insulation materials for use in the solar cookers for utility and durability:
- wood shavings from planing wood - used presently
- rice hulls
- coffee bean husks
- fiberglass
Develop a better mechanism for supporting the lid/reflector:
- the present wooden support rod is awkward to use and difficult to align
Design a prefabricatable, light weight, easy to ship and assemble cooker:
- The box cookers used by Las Mujeres .. and Grupo Fenix are too heavy and cumbersome for effective shipping
- A lightweight cooker that can be prefabricated from locally available materials in Sabana Grande, or other rural communities, and easily assembled at a distant site would make distribution of solar cookers much easier than present
Research the possibility of using Fresnel or other lenses to help focus more light into a cooker, instead of or in addition to reflectors to allow more heat in the cooker.
Design and prototype small cookers for use in the Ithaca, NY area, roughly 42 degrees North Latitude, with sloped fronts (glazing) to better capture light during the winter months. Two cookers will be made for demonstrating use and function in the area.
For more information please visit our solar cooker project wiki.
News and recent developments
- March 2011: The student team visited Sabana Grande during spring break to build a new large cooker with a new metal stand for use in the soon to be completed Solar Restaurant being built by Las Mujeres Solares de Totogalpa at their Centro Solar. We plan to Sabana Grande in March 2012 to continue our work with our friends there.

London election fraud probe over 'fake leaflets'
14:11 13 May 2012
Claims of election fraud in south-west London are being probed by police.
Fake election leaflets purportedly from a Liberal Democrat candidate were distributed one night before a council by-election in Richmond Upon Thames, on May 4.
The flyers, featuring the logo and font of the Lib Dems, reportedly featured changed content - including an endorsement by candidate Jane Dodds for a controversial local planning scheme.
Lib Dems claimed that fake leaflets pledged Ms Dodds' support for a development to be used for housing homeless immigrants, or to become a high-rise block.
The Liberal Democrats went on to lose a closely fought contest for the fringe seat. The Conservatives held the ward they won by 14 votes in 2010.
The content of the flyers undermined her campaign and may have influenced the final result of the poll, said the leader of the Liberal Democrats group.
"They were clearly designed to defect support from our candidate by purporting to back things which were unpopular," Stephen Knight said.
"The result was close, it may have gone the other way if this had not happened."
The Conservatives won the poll by only 146 votes.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said officers were looking into the claims. He said: "The Metropolitan Police Service is aware of an allegation of a breach of election legislation in Richmond.
"We are currently making an assessment to ascertain whether there is evidence to support the complaint."

- GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS has improved earnings per share by 24.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS increased its bottom line by earning $1.30 versus $0.57 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.24 versus $1.30).
- GMCR's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.18 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.90 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- 40.10% is the gross profit margin for GREEN MTN COFFEE ROASTERS which we consider to be strong. Regardless of GMCR's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 8.40% trails the industry average.
- GMCR's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 65.78%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.

This is very good Martin. The blistering on the tiles is lovely, the blood is very fresh, and the map is uncluttered and the colours work together.
I hate to give criticism in the Finished Map thread (the battlemaps Work in Progress forum where people post maps for critique is elsewhere) however since you explicitly ask for it:
1) there are white gaps between your ground and wall tiles where you mislaid them. Fix this by adding a layer of solid dark grey behind all the other layers. If you placed each of those tiles by hand on GIMP I can tell you how to do it more easily next time.
2) the seperate wall segments look a bit odd to be honest, but this can be easily fixed by taking one segment, removing the edges and making it TILEABLE, and then TILE it horizontally for an unbroken line of bricks (I can walk you through this if you like) and then cut/past/rotate.

As the saying goes "when it rains, it pours," but it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.
Kell defensive back Brendan Langley appears as if he is about to be on the good end of the old adage.
Before Tuesday, the 6-foot-1, 180 pound standout didn't have an offer, but by the time the day had ended, he had received two.
Both offers were from SEC schools.
"Yes sir, I got offered by Georgia and South Carolina today," said Langley. "It feels really good to have that first offer out of the way."
Langley's first offer of the day came from Georgia, and the Kell star will always remember exactly how it went down.
"My Head Coach (Derek Cook) called me into his office," he said. "He was asking me how I would feel if Georgia offered me. I told him that I would be ecstatic, and that I would love it. Then he told me that he was about to get Coach (Mark) Richt on the phone, and he was going to offer me a scholarship. I was extremely happy, and grinning from ear to ear."
After attending UGA's Junior Day on January 28, Langley came away impressed with many aspects of the Georgia program.
He has expectations going in, but the Georgia staff was able to meet them and even raise the bar a bit.
"Georgia is a great school and a great program," said Langley. "When I was up there for Junior Day, they did a great job of making me feel welcome and the facilities were really nice. The cafeteria was great. I was kind of expecting it to be more of a conservative type of thing where I Just went up there and saw the school, but they kept their end of the deal. They told me they would take care of me, and they did. I liked all the coaching staff and I'm hoping to go back up on March 3 for their VID (Very Important Dawg) Day to meet the rest of the staff."
As if the day couldn't get any more surreal for the Peach State sleeper, it just so happens that his first collegiate offer came from his favorite team growing up.
"Growing up, obviously, my favorite team was the Georgia Bulldogs, the hometown team," said Langley. "All my family is from Georgia and that's who I grew up liking. I don't know, there is just something about that red that I like."
The Kell Longhorns use Langley as a receiver, running back, defensive back, and a return man, but the Bulldogs plan to let him specialize a little more at the next level.
"They offered me as a cornerback or safety," said Langley. "I prefer to play corner, but I can do both and will do whatever I need to do."
Langley's second offer of the day came from South Carolina, and unlike the Georgia offer, it came as quite as a surprise.
"The South Carolina offer was an extreme surprise," he said. "I kind of felt the Georgia offer coming, but I had never been to South Carolina or never received any letters of interest. I had never talked to a coach, and they have never been here. It came completely out of the blue. It flattered me though because it let me know they have been watching me somehow and noticing what I was doing."
Cook, who has coached Langley for three years, has come to expect big things from the multitalented star, but it isn't just his talent that sets him apart.
"He's a great kid, and just a smart, articulate young man," said Cook. "He has everything you want in a player. He benches over 300 pounds, can run a 4.39 in the 40 and averages over 40 yards per return on kickoff returns, but he is just a normal kid that is into the things that normal kids are into. You can look at those numbers and see the things he can do and just know how hard he works, though."
The Kell head man isn't at all hesitant to compliment his do-it-all performer, but that feeling is also mutual.
"You can quote me on this," said Langley. "We have, without a doubt, the best coaching staff in the state, country, or wherever. It is all about their attention to detail. If we have our weights facing the wrong way in the weight room, we have to pay for that. It is all about the details, and they do things the right way and are always helping us get better. It is why I am where I am."
Langley is one of the most impressive athletes in the Peach State in the class of 2013, but didn't make an appearance in the initial Rivals250 rankings when they debuted last week.
Despite not being mentioned in those projections, the Kell speedster doesn't fret over who thinks what at this point.
"I'm not going to lie, I pay attention the them," he said. "I know that I'm not ranked yet, but at the same time, if I'm getting offers from the schools I want to go to, I'm doing something right. I'll just do what I can do and people will take notice."
Part of being a hard-working, successful athlete is having the ability to set goals, and Langley knows exactly when, and why he wants to end his recruitment.
"My top three, in no order, are Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina," said Langley. "I want to decided somewhere around the end of June because I want to have it out of the way so I can focus on my senior season. I don't want it to affect my play." ...More...

A new article in the Nonprofit Quarterly by Simone Joyaux (See-MUN Zha-WHY-oh) adds another element to the discussion as she asks, "Are You So Vain?" Is your organization thinking about (and acting like) fundraising is all about you, instead of being all about the donor? She offers an assessment tool to look at your practices and attitudes, and a pledge to commit to, that will help your organization lose its vanity and gain donor loyalty.
Below are the first ten of 23 pledge items. You can find the complete list on her website. PDF
The Donor-Centric PledgeWe, [fill in the name of your nonprofit organization here], believe…
I recommend having several people in your organization take the assessment to see where your organization stands. Then, take the pledge and work the pledge over the coming months to see what a difference new actions and attitudes can make in your donor/nonprofit relationships and fundraising. http://simonejoyaux.com/ss_files/downloads/DonorCentricPledge.pdf.

The theme of the 1940 film focused on the effort of the Department to bring landowners and sportsmen together to benefit wildlife. The film includes the commission's first chairman, E. Sydney Stevens.
Produced by Missouri Dept. of Conservation (circa 1955).
Photography, Sound and Art: Charles and Elizabeth Schwartz. Narrative Script: James Keefe.
Through the film you'll travel into the real world of nature, where living and dying by predation is A Way of Life.Produced by Missouri Dept. of Conservation (1957).
Produced by the Missouri Conservation Commission.
The upper reaches of streams are a wonderful part of this world. But they are delicate and vulnerable environments, often assaulted unknowingly by human use of the land. The film introduces the "citizens" of this unique world, featuring the smallmouth bass, and shows how these creatures live and die in a small community.Produced by Missouri Dept. of Conservation (1966).

Ice Burn
this wiki
Template:Move infoboxIce Burn is a Ice-type move introduced in Generation V that is White Kyurem's signature move. Ice Burn has a 30% chance of burning the foe's Pokémon.
On the second turn, an ultracold, freezing wind surrounds the target. This may leave the target with a burn.
Ice Burn deals damage, has a 30% chance of burning the target.
Ice Burn does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than state that the user is charging. This charge turn can be skipped using a Power Herb. On the following turn, Ice Burn will deal damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Ice Burn is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.
If Ice Burn is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user is charging, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Ice Burn (or fail if it can't).
Sleep, freeze, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Ice Burn.
- Ice Burn is the only Ice-type move that is able to inflict a burn.
- This move seems to draw reference to both Reshiram and Kyurem, as it is an Ice-type move and its side-effect are related to the Fire type.
- Along with Freeze Shock, Ice Burn has the highest base power of all Ice-type moves.
- Currently, no one can learn this move even though it's Kyurem's signature move
- Currently, you can only learn Freeze Shock (or Bolt) and Ice Burn by AR (Action Replay)
- The animation for the actual attacking part is very similar to that of Blue Flare.

Posted a few days ago in this section a thread called "Football tryouts in a few days."
For those who haven't read that thread, I didn't make the team, long story short.
Im not going to beat around the bush. I need more speed. At this level its one of the main things holding me back. I want to improve my 40 time (at a 4.89 currently), 3-cone, pro-agaility,etc. Im transferring over from an O-linemen to a linebacker so I need a lot of help. Currently following Tom Mutaffis' strongman program listed here. If anyone can get me on a proper track/routine for speed training, I'd appreciate it. Feel free to ask questions if you want more info.

Field support in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique, is needed to locate and finance local women to sell SUNSTOVE units for income. Shipping from South Africa is economical by truck or rail. As of August 1998, Rotary in India is sponsoring a program for SUNSTOVE production and distribution there. Assistance and suggestions for SUNSTOVE's work in Southern Africa and India are invited.
The SUNSTOVE is a proven, affordable, quality solar cooker that has been tooled, manufactured and used since 1992 in Southern Africa. The African SUNSTOVE is sold at cost, in Rands (about US$20) with the proceeds used to manufacture more units. Other than the research project study, only seed money has been donated to the project (tooling, US$8,000 and inventory, US$20,000).
Key SUNSTOVE materials are: l) A low cost housing which is blow molded from 75% recycled plastic bottles and 25% virgin material. The case is cheap, strong, light, UV resistant, weather proof and allows the aluminum sheet (walls and bottom) to be snapped into place over the insulations 2) Sloped internal walls and bottom are made from a scrap aluminum off-set (lithograph) printing plate which can be cleaned. 3) Wall insulation from fibreglass blanket, and bottom insulation of high density fibreglass to support the pots of food. 4) A clear cover of glass, plastic sheet or plastic film. In Africa "medium impact acrylic" was chosen because of low cost, availability and strength.
The SUNSTOVE Organisation is a non-profit company and has patents issued for the SUNSTOVE in India, South Africa and the USA. Rights have been given to Rotary in India and the SUNSTOVE Organization in South Africa, while Solar Cooker International has been given permission to use the reflector design in their CooKit.
[Text borrowed from http://www.sungravity.com/solar_cooking__overview.html.]
News and recent developments
- February 2013: The non-profit Sunstove has more than 15,000 solar cookers in use throughout southern Africa. With a new mold, they are already getting orders from Mozambique and Mauritius. A group of Canadians is working to bring SunStoves to Lesotho. This group works "Granny to Granny" allowing the local community to identify the most needy elderly ladies, most of whom are looking after their orphaned grandchildren.
- February 2011: Eco Footprint has created Free From the Sun, an Introduction to Cooking in a Solar Oven. It can be seen here.

Naming conventions
From Joomla! Documentation
This article is tagged because it NEEDS REVIEW. You can help the Joomla! Documentation Wiki by contributing to it.
More pages that need help similar to this one are here. NOTE-If you feel the need is satistified, please remove this notice.
Components in Jooomla! 1.5 can now benefit from the flexibility and power of using Object Oriented Programming (OOP) practices. Most complex components will follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern. This pattern separates the data gathering (Model), presentation (View) and user interaction (Controller) activities of a component. Such separation allows for expanding or revising properties and methods of one section without requiring additional changes to the other sections. A useful set of tutorials demonstrating the process of creating an MVC component can be found here.
Throughout this discussion, {ComponentName} is used to represent the name of the component. Notice also that case is important and is shown here as upper case or lower case dependent on the standard for the filename, classname or subdirectory.
File Structure
Many Joomla! Developers make use of the PHP Eclipse IDE when developing a new component to share with the community. This discussion and the file structure example provided below assumes this development environment.
Component files for the site are located in site/ and administrative files are located in admin/. After the component has been uploaded and installed through the Extension Manager, the site files will reside on the server at site/components/com_{componentname}/ and the administrative files will be at administrator/components/com_{componentname}/.
The component's main file of both site and administration is named {componentname}.php, and will be located in site/ and admin/.
The default controller for both site and administration is named controller.php and these files are located in site/ and admin/. If additional controllers are needed, these are located in a site/controllers/ and admin/controllers and named {controllername}.php.
View files are located in site/views/{viewname} and admin/views/{viewname}, and are always called view.html.php. If only one view is necessary, {viewname} will be the same as {componentname}. Additional views and their related files are contained within their own {viewname} subdirectorys. The default template and any other templates for each view are located under site/views/{viewname}/tmpl and admin/views/{viewname}/tmpl.
Model files are located in site/models and admin/models. The model filename should match the name of the view that the model data is being pushed into, {modelname}.php.
All filenames and foldernames for models, views and controllers must be lowercase in order to operate well on Unix/Linux-systems.
Class Naming Conventions
The model, view and controller files use the jimport function to load classes from the Joomla! framework, JModel, JView and JController, respectively. Each class is then extended with a new class specific to the component.
The base controller class for the site is named {ComponentName}Controller. For the administrative section, an "s" is added to the ComponentName, giving {ComponentName}sController. Classnames for additional controllers found within the controllers/ subdirectory are {ComponentName}Controller{ControllerName} for site/ and {ComponentName}sController{ControllerName} for admin/.
The view class is named {ComponentName}View{ViewName}.
The model class is named {ComponentName}Model{ModelName}. Remember that the {ModelName} and the {ViewName} should be the same.
Much of the above is based on the forum thread jtopic:228926.
Reserved Words
There are reserved words, which can't be used in names of classes and components.
An example is word "view" (in any case) for view class (except "view" that must be second part of that class name)[1]. Because first part of view class name is the same as controller class name, controller class name also can't contain word "view". And because of convention (although violating of it won't produce an error) controller class name must contain component name, so component name also can't contain word "view". So components can't be named "com_reviews", or if they are, they must violate naming convention and have different base controller class name (or have some other hacks).
/com_{ComponentName} {componentname}.php controller.php class = {ComponentName}Controller /controllers sample.php class = {ComponentName}ControllerSample /views /{componentname} view.html.php class = {ComponentName}View{ViewName} /tmpl default.php /alternate view.html.php class = {ComponentName}ViewAlternate /tmpl form.php /models {componentname}.php class = {ComponentName}Model{ModelName} alternate.php class = {ComponentName}ModelAlternate /admin {componentname.php} controller.php class = {ComponentName}Controller /controllers groups.php class = {ComponentName}ControllerGroups list.php class = {ComponentName}ControllerList /views /{componentname} view.html.php /tmpl default.php /alternate view.html.php /tmpl default.php /models {componentname}.php class = {ComponentName}Model{ModelName} alternate.php class = {ComponentName}ModelAlternate

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 21, 2008 ) The Chain Gang Body Jewelry Store (www.TheChainGang.com), a leading online body jewelry superstore offering all body piercing jewelry, recently joined hands with GoDaddy and Starfield Technologies, Inc. to bring about expanded safety for all those who shop online at The Chain Gang. The up-to-date SSL security solution has been added to provide shoppers with secure access so that they can shop with full confidence. The body piercing jewelry store has been in business since 1992 and offers jewelry for all body piercings including, but not limited to, tongue, ears, nostril, navel and labret.
Speaking about The Chain Gang's added security functions, Scott Johnson, President of The Chain Gang Body Jewelry Store, said, "We have always had a secure site, but we always try to improve and strive to provide the best service to our customers, thus the added security feature. At The Chain Gang Body Jewelry Store, we are aware of the concerns of online shoppers about both security and privacy when making an online purchase. Because of this, we have made a firm commitment to providing the best security features and solutions on our online store. We want your experience to be enjoyable and totally stress free. Therefore, we have partnered with the best security providers in the world".
The Chain Gang now uses a much more advanced Secure Commerce Server, which encrypts all of the information that customers type in to 256 bit encryption. Thus, shoppers can safely enter their entire credit card number on the secure order form and it cannot be read or intercepted in transit. In addition, the online body jewelry store has various security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of user data under its control. The few employees who do have access to the databases that store user information have to pass a very strict security check with the Pasco County Sheriff's Department, as well as The Chain Gang's standard background check done through the Pasco County Court System.
When asked why he trusted GoDaddy and Starfield to enhance his site's security, Scott replied, "These companies represent the largest Certificate Authority issuer in the world. Thanks to GoDaddy and Starfield, we are now able to provide you with 256-bit encryption and assure you that confidential information and transactions cannot ever be viewed, intercepted or altered. Because their authentication system is the most advanced in the industry, you can be sure that these certificates are only issued to fully authorized recipients as TheChainGang.com".
"The privacy and security concerns of our customers are of paramount important to us. The advanced security features of The Chain Gang will ensure that all our customers are able to shop without one iota of worry", emphasized Scott.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - A 20-year-old St. Louis man was convicted of murder Wednesday for the April 2011 death of a Vietnamese immigrant who died as a result of injuries sustained in an unprovoked attack authorities called the "knock out game."
Elex Murphy was convicted of second-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action for the attack on 72-year-old Hoang Hguyen and his 59-year-old wife.
The attack occurred on the morning of Saturday, April 14 in the 3800 block of S. Spring. Police said the Nguyens were attacked as they walked home in the after shopping at a nearby grocery market.
The victims were punched and kicked repeatedly by a group of young adults, who then ran from the scene when a car approached.
Hoang Nguyen fell to the ground after being struck and suffered a severe head injury. He died at a local hospital a short time later.
Days later, Elex Murphy was arrested and charged. Other suspects were sought for their roles in the attack, but no other arrests were made.

LETTER: Speeding on Harbor Ave. gets you nowhere
To the person(s) who think(s) that driving on Alki/Harbor Ave is the same as driving on Interstate 5, may I have your attention for a few minutes? I Iive on Harbor Avenue. Leaving our condo and entering into the main flow of traffic usually presents some challenges so, one must exercise much caution when doing so.
In the morning when I am leaving our condo property, I look both ways on Harbor Avenue watching for an opportunity to safely enter the flow of traffic. If I see you in a vehicle that is 4 or 5 blocks away from me, I should be able to assume that you are traveling at the legal rate of speed (35 mph), permitting me to enter the road and then accelerate to the legal speed limit without impeding your rate of speed. I'll even give you an extra 5 mph, just to be safe.
After I am onto Harbor Avenue and safely (so I believe) traveling at the legal limit, you speed up to me as I observe you in my mirrors as you decide to "tailgate" me for a while. I think you're trying to get my attention.More ›
LETTER: Nickelsville deserves no support
To the editor,
It is untenable to support the so-called Nickelsville in any form. It is nothing more or less than a slum just like the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Is that what we want Seattle to become, another Rio with its poor living in rickety homemade housing? It's time we stop wasting public money on frivolities like trying to get another ill-fated basketball team here and start paying attention to things that matter, things that have real bearing on the lifestyle of all of us. It's ironic that a big deal was made of flying salmon from Alaska in the same issue. Flip a few pages and you see people who have no hope of ever having a bite of salmon.

LETTER: Gossip can hurt
To the editor:
Imagine a student getting embarrassed or hurt because of a fake rumor about how he barfed in music class. Too much gossip and rumor are hurting students at middle schools because gossip can bully someone and he can get so bad they're too scared to show they're face.

Students who gossip can bully a student and can get so bad that the person is too scared to show their face. Maybe you are just joking with a friend saying "did you hear that Maya likes Jake?" Your friend that you told this to might not think it's a joke and spread this around. Think about if "Jason" or "Maya" hears that they may be mad or embarrassed because this is not true. Also, this stuff can get online and this could turn into cyber bullying. Even if this was a joke, this shows that students can be hurt by a rumor or gossip getting spread around.
