Fantastic MTF curves & no distortion! This lens will surely be a classic for many years to come (say 100 years?). As for price? Above my budget but not necessarily out of the ballpark. Think, the M9 sells for over $7,000 USD and the value of that will halve in a few years. My grandchildren can make great use of this lens while the M9 will be in some junk yard or museum.
Why are people comparing this to an SLR lens??

Redrobes_1 - DONE.
(I was able to do this one myself. Already found some maps I lost the location of... this is going to be useful when its done.)
So if you have found the site slow tonight - sorry, my fault.
Still, you can get me back and hose my ISP now. Hope a CL can sticky this and ill edit this text out and make it all nice shortly when were all fixed up.
For now theres some tedious admin to do. The indexer took all the pages and made a list. Then it sorted them and appended a number to the end for each person to keep them separate. Then I grabbed the last image from each of the threads and thumbed them. Some of them didn't work right and some don't have the image as an attachment. Some also have posts after the proper image so its not the correct one. So we could do with a list of items that are wrong. If some CLs could take those posts and look at those threads by clicking on the name link in the thumbs page and add a usual WIP tag to those posts. Once done then edit that notification post and put a DONE in there. Once the notification posts go to all done then ill run it again and we keep going like that till its all fixed up.
Right - lets cane the servers with this...
Can I also add that the maps in this list are by default copyright but are probably available for use. But please check the thread to see the usage terms for them which is often in the sig of the author. From the authors, please comment on the usability of the images in the threads.

Great idea to organise this in thumbnails.
I noticed that the script picked up the wrong picture for "Fabrice1".
It is not that surprising because I was always attaching my updates in the first post, to spare the visitors from going through the whole thread to get to the final version. As a consequence the script picked up an illustration meant to support a side discussion that was going on at the time.
What would be your recommendation to fix this? Should I upload the picture again in the last post of the thread?
Great gallery. Some of the images didn't load for me, this may be a problem on my end (proxy or browser) because there's just so many of them.
@Fabrice - thanks for checking, we need to know which ones are not right. Don't do anything - we need a CL to fix up a WIP tag - see O/P.
@bartmoss - some dont have images yet. See O/P.

Automatically create and update cscope database
this wiki
created 2007 · complexity basic · author Zhaojun WU · version 7.0
In order to create or update the cscope database in current directory, the following key mapping would help a bit:
nmap <F11> :!find . -iname '*.c' -o -iname '*.cpp' -o -iname '*.h' -o -iname '*.hpp' > cscope.files ; \:!cscope -b -i cscope.files -f cscope.out<CR> \:cs kill -1<CR>:cs add cscope.out<CR>
In the above mapping, I use "find" to collect the C/C++ source code files and (re)create the cscope database; then "kill -1" to kill all cscope database connections and finally, the newly created "cscope.out" database is added by "cs add cscope.out".
There are two limitations in this key mapping:
- the current directory should be the root path of the project
- I don't know how to get the current cscope data connection number, so that I use "kill -1" to kill "all" cscope database connections, since actually I always only create one connections in one Vim instance. It is not practical if you are using multiple data connections in one Vim instance.
Alternate version
Related to limitation #2 above, it's not actually necessary to kill the cscope connection. The command
cs reset can accomplish this purpose, if cscope.out is already selected as the cscope file. This gives the following variant:
nmap <F11> :!find . -iname '*.c' -o -iname '*.cpp' -o -iname '*.h' -o -iname '*.hpp' > cscope.files<CR> \:!cscope -b -i cscope.files -f cscope.out<CR> \:cs reset<CR>
Note that this assumes that there already exists a connection to the cscope.out file (which is the case if you tell Vim to automatically init the cscope connection at startup).

Cancer: Controlling Nausea and Vomiting From Chemotherapy
Of all the side effects of chemotherapy, nausea and vomiting are two of the most distressing. But in many cases, nausea and vomiting can be controlled and even prevented.
- Nausea and vomiting can be controlled and even prevented. The best treatment plan is one set up by you and your health care team, based on your particular needs and feelings. You are the authority on how well you feel and how much nausea you have.
- Today's antinausea drugs are very good at preventing and controlling nausea and vomiting. Your doctor should be able to find one that works for you.
- Prevent nausea. When you or your doctor foresee that a treatment will make you very sick, it's best that you take antinausea medicine beforehand.
- There are several other ways to get relief and make yourself feel better before and after your chemotherapy treatments.
Researchers do not know exactly why some chemotherapy drugs cause nausea and vomiting. They believe there are several ways that this can happen. Some drugs may affect the parts of your spinal cord or nervous system that trigger nausea and vomiting. Some drugs may cause nausea and vomiting by irritating the lining of your digestive system. Sometimes, if you had nausea when you had chemotherapy before, your brain remembers this and expects nausea when you have chemotherapy again.
Chemotherapy drugs are ranked according to how often they cause nausea and vomiting. Some cause very little of those side effects. Also, some people are more likely than others to get sick. Your doctor will consider many things about you, your treatment, and your cancer to decide if you are likely to feel sick.
Your risk of having nausea and vomiting
Whether you have nausea and vomiting may depend on:
- What types of chemotherapy drugs you get. Some of these drugs are more likely to cause nausea and vomiting than others.
- How large a dose you get. Higher doses are more likely to cause nausea and vomiting.
- When and how often you get chemotherapy. If the time between treatments is short, your body has less time to recover from the nausea and vomiting before you get your next dose.
- How the drugs are given. A drug that is given through your vein (IV) may cause nausea and vomiting sooner than a pill that is swallowed, because your body will absorb the IV drug faster.
- Individual differences. Not every person reacts the same to the same medicine.
- The antinausea medicine you are taking. If it isn't working for you, you may need to try a different one.
You may feel sick shortly after your chemotherapy treatment begins. Or you may not feel sick until a day or two later. You may not feel sick at all. As soon as you start to feel sick, tell your doctor.
Many people start feeling sick before a treatment session even begins. This is called anticipatory nausea and vomiting. Any little thing—the smell of an alcohol swab, the sight of a nurse's uniform, the sounds of the treatment room—may trigger nausea. This usually doesn't happen until after the third or fourth treatment session. Learning how to control anticipatory nausea and vomiting is important, because it can make nausea and vomiting more severe when the chemotherapy actually starts.
Test Your Knowledge
Nausea and vomiting are unavoidable side effects of cancer treatment.
This answer is incorrect.
Today's medicines are good at preventing and controlling nausea and vomiting. Your doctor will help you find one that works.
This answer is correct.

People who feel good are better able to fight their cancer and have happier lives. Your body needs to be able to rest, to refuel, and to cope with the stresses of cancer and its treatment.
If untreated, nausea and vomiting can make you feel:
- Depressed.
- Unable to cope.
- Tired.
- Stressed.
- Unable to sleep.
- Worried.
- Angry.
- Uninterested in food.
- Dehydrated.
Controlling your nausea and vomiting can help you to:
- Be active.
- Sleep.
- Cope better with your cancer and its treatment.
- Enjoy family and friends.
- Eat with pleasure.
Test Your Knowledge
Controlling your nausea and vomiting is important because:
Having a good appetite and eating well will help you
feel better.
Both answers are correct.
Nausea and vomiting can steal your energy and make you feel depressed. If you are able to eat well, your body will have the fuel it needs to maintain a good quality of life. Both answers are correct.
Being relaxed and able to sleep will help your body
fight the cancer.
Both answers are correct.
Nausea and vomiting can steal your energy and make you feel depressed. If you are able to avoid stress and sleep well, your body will have the energy it needs to maintain a good quality of life. Both answers are correct.
The best way to control nausea and vomiting is to begin treatment for it before you start chemotherapy. Talk to your doctor about your treatment plan. Find out if the cancer drug you'll receive is likely to make you sick. Ask your doctor what medicines are available to prevent nausea and vomiting. Talk about your concerns, no matter how small. The more you know about your treatment, the more you will feel in control and the easier it will be to talk about it with your doctors and nurses.
Antinausea drugs
Antinausea drugs are usually taken on a regular daily schedule for as long as chemotherapy lasts. Sometimes you may be asked to take the antinausea drug "only as needed." You may be given more than one kind of antinausea drug. Drugs to relieve your nausea include ondansetron (Zofran) and lorazepam (Ativan).
Antinausea drugs can be given as pills you swallow, through your vein (IV), or as shots. Some drugs are available as suppositories, as capsules that melt in your mouth, or as a patch that is taped to your skin.
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions for taking your antinausea medicines and to report back about how well they are working.
If you have nausea and vomiting after chemotherapy in spite of taking antinausea drugs, tell your doctor immediately. A different antinausea drug may be the answer. Or your chemotherapy drug may need to be changed.
Medical marijuana
Marijuana, either in its natural form or as a synthetic drug, has been shown to ease the nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Although it worked better than many of the antinausea drugs available in the past, it doesn't seem to work as well as other medicines available today. And marijuana can cause unpleasant side effects including dry mouth, low blood pressure, and dizziness, especially in older people or people who haven't used it before. Also, the legality of marijuana for medical use is still a question in many countries.
Some doctors still use the synthetic form of marijuana to treat nausea and vomiting. These drugs have not been shown to work as well as other drugs now available, but they may be helpful for certain people.1
Complementary therapy
Although drugs are the main way to treat nausea and vomiting, there are other treatments that have been shown to work well.1 They involve the help of a qualified therapist who can teach you to use your mind and body to control nausea and vomiting. These techniques help stop anticipatory nausea and vomiting. They work by relaxing you, distracting your attention, helping you feel in control, and making you feel less helpless. These treatments include:
- Biofeedback . Biofeedback uses the mind to control a body function that the body normally regulates on its own, such as skin temperature, muscle tension, or heart rate.
- Guided imagery . This is a series of thoughts and suggestions that direct your imagination toward a relaxed, focused state. This technique can help you mentally block the nausea and vomiting.
- Distraction . For example, kids getting chemotherapy may use a video game to help keep their mind off what is happening. This may also help mentally block the nausea and vomiting.
- Progressive muscle relaxation . This is a technique in which you learn to relax by tensing and then releasing different groups of muscles, one at a time.
- Self-hypnosis . A therapist can teach you to hypnotize yourself. Some people are able to learn from books.
Some studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment for nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.2 Your doctor may refer you to a qualified acupuncturist.
You can also try acupressure. Constant pressure on the P6 point is used to prevent or reduce nausea. The P6 point is on the inner side of your arm, in line with your middle finger. It is close to your wrist, one-sixth of the distance between your wrist and elbow. You can press on your arm with a thumb or finger or try wearing wristbands (such as Sea-Bands) that press a plastic disc on the P6 point on each arm.
Eating well may seem to be an odd way to treat nausea and vomiting, but it's very important. As a cancer patient, you need nutritious foods to help you feel better, keep up your strength and energy, keep up your weight, and keep up your ability to fight infection and recover as quickly as possible.
Here are some tips for eating well during chemotherapy:
- Eat small, frequent meals or snacks. Treat yourself by choosing the foods you like best.
- Make the most of the days when your appetite is good.
- Ask friends and family for help with shopping and preparing meals. Consider having meals delivered to your home or have lunch at a community or senior center.
- Nutritional supplements are convenient and can help you get the extra calories and protein you need. Try a variety to find out which ones work best. Your doctor, nurse, or dietitian can help and may have samples for you to try.
- Is there a time of day when you are able to eat more? Many people find that breakfast time is best. Try eating more during that time of day when you can.
- Don't force yourself to eat when you are nauseated.
- Eat food cold or at room temperature.
- Keep your mouth clean, and brush your teeth after vomiting.
- Have fresh air with a fan or an open window.
- Limit sounds, sights, and smells that make you feel sick.
- When you don't feel like eating your normal foods, try apple or grape juice, weak teas, clear broths, dry toast, cooked cereal, and gelatin desserts. Avoid citrus juices and lemonade.
- Try ginger, such as candied ginger or ginger tea. Real ginger—not ginger flavoring—helps to reduce nausea.
- Eat a light meal or snack before your chemotherapy appointment so that you have something in your stomach.
- If your chemotherapy is the kind that takes several hours rather than a few minutes, bring a light meal or snacks with you. Your treatment center should have a refrigerator and microwave available for your use.
Test Your Knowledge
Taking control over nausea and vomiting starts by talking to your doctor about your symptoms.
This answer is correct.
Keeping your doctor informed about how your chemotherapy is affecting you is the most important way to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting. There are many drugs to choose from to help you with these side effects. There are also many non-drug treatments available.

You can afford to let the rules of good nutrition slide while you are being treated with chemotherapy.
This answer is incorrect.
Making sure you are getting the nutrition you need is very important. Your body needs all the strength it can get for fighting cancer and the side effects of chemotherapy.

Making sure you are getting the nutrition you need is very important. Your body needs all the strength it can get for fighting cancer and the side effects of chemotherapy.
It's important to tell your doctors or nurses when you feel any nausea. Sometimes people worry about bothering the doctor or nurse. Sometimes they think there is nothing that can be done, so it is not worth bringing up. Speak up about your fears and about any nausea you are feeling, no matter how slight. You may need a different medicine for nausea a few days after chemotherapy than the one you used right afterward.
To help you and your health care team deal with any nausea and vomiting, you may want to keep track of how you feel. You can use a symptoms diary to write down how you are feeling. Take your diary with you whenever you visit your doctor.

- "The weak...will perish."
Species 8472 was the Borg designation for a tripedal and apparently highly xenophobic non-humanoid species whose actual name is unknown. 8472 was first encountered by the Federation starship USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant in 2373. The species originates from a dimension called fluidic space, accessible by quantum singularities. They are believed by the Borg to be the apex of biological evolution. (VOY: "Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II")
Borg-Species 8472 war
- See the main article: Borg-Species 8472 War
In their search for species worthy of assimilation, the Borg first encountered Species 8472 after they found a way to enter fluidic space in 2373. However, Species 8472 turned out to be immune to the Borg's assimilation attempts and the invasion of their realm provoked a war, which quickly evolved into the first real threat faced by the Borg in their own relatively long history; according to Seven of Nine, Species 8472 was the first species to offer "true resistance to the Borg." With their superior biological technology, Species 8472 was able to annihilate large numbers of Borg drones, ships and even planets.
It was during this time that the Federation starship Voyager also chanced upon Species 8472. After a disastrous initial encounter and gathering more information, the ship's crew came to believe that the species intended to destroy not only the Borg, but all life in the galaxy. Captain Kathryn Janeway decided to form an alliance with the Borg to stop Species 8472 and ensure her ship would get beyond Borg space. Armed with warheads containing modified nanoprobes capable of destroying the ships used by the invaders, Voyager entered fluidic space and destroyed several bioships there, along with many more after returning to normal space. The encounter frightened Species 8472, and they retreated to fluidic space. (VOY: "Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II", "Prey")
When they withdrew, one member of Species 8472 was left behind and was relentlessly tracked by a group of Hirogen hunters for several months. This individual was later rescued by the crew of Voyager, and Captain Janeway intended to return it to fluidic space. Seven of Nine, however, refused to open a rift to Species 8472's realm. Shortly afterwards, in a struggle with one of the Hirogen hunters aboard Voyager, Seven of Nine took the opportunity, in defiance of Janeway's orders, to transport the individual to the Hirogen warships, which then broke off their attack. (VOY: "Prey")
The Federation "threat"
Concerned about the threat posed by Humanity with its modified nanoprobe-warheads, Species 8472 created a simulation of Starfleet Headquarters on Earth inside a terrasphere in the Delta Quadrant as a training ground for a potential infiltration of the Federation, modifying many of their kind to look like Alpha Quadrant species. Their main goal was to uncover if the Federation was planning an invasion of their realm. However, their simulation contained a few major inconsistencies, such as Ferengi in Starfleet or obsolete uniforms. Some were completely uncomfortable with the fact they were in the form of "inferior" lifeforms, who needed to eat, sleep and were unable to communicate telepathically.
The Voyager crew discovered the training ground by tracking the source of its transmissions, which appeared to have a Federation signature. When discovered, Species 8472 captured Commander Chakotay, Voyager's first officer, believing a fleet to be on its way. The crew of Voyager managed to convince Species 8472 that the Federation had no hostile intention toward them by giving them their modified nanoprobe-warheads, in hope that Species 8472 could adapt their vessels in exchange for their techniques on how to look Human. Species 8472 identified Humans as their primary threat, dismissing the Borg as "irrelevant." (VOY: "In the Flesh")
The Borg continued to patrol a border between our galaxy and fluidic space. Axum suggested that he would try to make contact with Species 8472 after he was liberated from "Unimatrix Zero". (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero, Part II")
Species 8472 is tripedal, around three meters tall, extremely muscular, and biologically unique. Their DNA is arranged in a triple helix formation, and is the most densely coded DNA ever encountered by Starfleet. They are known to have as many as five sexes. The species' immune system is able to destroy anything which penetrates their body systems: chemical, biological, or technological. They are impervious to normal Borg assimilation methods. Their immune system can even be used as a means of attack. If cornered they attack with their claws rather than with any other type of weapon allowing Species 8472's cells to come into contact with a victim's where they will infect every system and consume it from the inside out. In addition, if threatened, Species 8472 are able to commit suicide by releasing a cellular toxin into their bloodstreams. They emit a biogenic field around their bodies; this field renders them nearly invisible to sensors, making it impossible to pinpoint their exact location. This field also interferes with normal transporters. Exactly how this biogenic field is produced is unknown.
Physiologically, Species 8472 is non-humanoid. They are able to withstand the vacuum of space. It is probable that in fluidic space they are able to swim through the organic matter similar to their ships, which share their unique physiology.
Although capable of auditory communication with other species, communication via telepathy is the standard between their species' own members. Kes was able to make contact with Species 8472 while they were in conflict with the Borg; they vowed that 'the weak will perish'. With their dense musculature and increased height, Species 8472 possess great flexibility and can move much faster than either humanoids or Borg. They are able to penetrate force fields and rip through bulkheads with apparent ease.
They have very little soft tissue, and much of their skeleton is exposed, particularly around their necks. Species 8472 does appear to have nostrils, suggesting a sense of smell; however, they possess no ears or mouth and have distinctive cross-shaped pupils. They appear purple to green depending on the lighting. It is not known if Species 8472 is the only species to have evolved in fluidic space, if they share it with any as-yet unknown species, or if they exterminated any such others as they attempted to do in normal space.
In conjunction with the Borg, The Doctor developed modified nanoprobes (by reconfiguring them to give the same signature as species 8472's cells) which were able to effectively combat Species 8472 and their bioships. The nanoprobes could be modified to either kill the creatures or their ships, but the Borg could not use the nanoprobes to assimilate Species 8472, since they would be immediately destroyed along with their cells as soon as the they began to alter the cellular coding patterns. (VOY: "Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II", "In the Flesh", "Someone to Watch Over Me"; Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 5)
The bioships used by Species 8472 are very advanced and share their unique genetic makeup. They are living organic vessels capable of warp speed, and are very heavily armed and shielded. Inside, the walls and floor appear to be flesh; spider web-like material is used in place of an EPS system. The structural supports are made of bone. The ship's computer is similar to a nervous system and uses neuropeptides. The ships are native to fluidic space and are able to function as well in the organic matter of fluid space as they are in the vacuum of normal space. They are also equipped to detect the pressure wave created when a vessel crosses into fluidic space from normal space.
A bioship carries only one crew member, who acts as the pilot. Its hull is resistant to conventional weaponry, including Borg assimilation, and also reflects sensor scans and tractor beams. The bioships are armed with energy beam weapons. Although the beam appears less coherent than either Starfleet or Borg weapons, it is able to inflict greater damage; Voyager was knocked off course by a beam that just missed it. Eight bioships can combine their firepower using an energy focusing ship, forming a planet killer.
It is unknown whether the ships evolved naturally or if they were engineered to fit their task by Species 8472. (VOY: "Scorpion"; Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 5)
- Borg - The Borg attempted to invade fluidic space and assimilate Species 8472, but were unprepared for the heavy resistance they encountered. Relations continued to be hostile after the Borg-Species 8472 War. In 2377, the "rebel" Borg from Unimatrix Zero considered appealing to Species 8472 for help against the Collective; it is unclear whether or not this came to pass.
- Federation - since Voyager had developed nanoprobe enhanced warheads, Species 8472 thought that Starfleet was going to invade their space, so they created biospheres to simulate Starfleet Academy so they can infiltrate the Federation. However, Voyager found out, and after negotiations, Species 8472 returned home. It is unknown if any further kind of relationship was developed with Starfleet and Species 8472.
A member of this species, one who took the form of Commander Valerie Archer, remarked that though Humans are genetically impure, they created beautiful works. (VOY: "In the Flesh")
All that is known of Species 8472's culture is that the species is highly xenophobic; they consider all other lifeforms to be genetically impure and inherently weak, and any alien entering fluidic space is seen as contaminating the realm. They believed the only way to purge a species of its weakness was to exterminate them, even if that meant eliminating all life on the planet. (VOY: "Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II")
They appear to have appreciation for art, as mentioned above. (VOY: "In the Flesh")

Background information
The creation of Species 8472 was inspired by the success of previous visual effects in the series, particularly the design of the macrovirus in "Macrocosm". Visual Effects Supervisor Ronald B. Moore commented, "[Executive Producer Jeri Taylor] saw that we could do that and maybe, if we had something with a little more meat on it, literally, that we could try to move forward." ("Red Alert: Amazing Visual Effects", VOY Season 3 DVD special features) According to Taylor herself, Species 8472 was originally conceived by Brannon Braga, who co-wrote "Scorpion". ("Braving the Unknown: Season Three", VOY Season 3 DVD special features)
Visual Effects Producer Dan Curry was also influential in the genesis of Species 8472's design. CGI Effects Director Ron Thornton said, "From what I understand [...] Dan Curry, God bless him, managed to convince the producers it would be a really good idea to do a wicked, computer-generated character, something that wasn't a guy in a suit or a guy with chewing gum on his nose." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #16, p. 37) Curry himself remarked, "When we were originally going to have that species, I suggested to the producers that instead of doing it [as] a guy in a suit, let's take advantage of some of the new CG technology, and do something that can't be a guy in a suit." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 74) Director David Livingston noted, "There was no choice but to create a CGI model. We couldn't do something realistic [in live action]." ("Braving the Unknown: Season Three", VOY Season 3 DVD special features)
The process of designing Species 8472 began with the script of "Scorpion". Dan Curry recollected, "We had a script for a very vicious alien creature that had to be so powerful and so fearsome that it was able to chop up and destroy the Borg." ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features) Concept artist Steve Burg elaborated, "It said it was big, and ferocious, and terrifying, and moved very quickly; it was 14 feet tall at one point. That was about it." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 28) The script's final draft refers to the species as being at least ten feet tall and wearing an alien breathing apparatus. [1] CGI animator John Teska recalled how he and the rest of CGI effects house Foundation Imaging heard about the conversations over the script: "As there were, you know, script discussions happening at Paramount, we started to get the early word that there may be a new nemesis, a new character that would make even the Borg afraid. And it was very exciting just to know that there's going to be a CG character, that it was going to be a major player for that season." ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features)
Designing the alien
Dan Curry came up with the concept of having the aliens each be three-legged. By this stage, he had spent lots of time pondering the potentiality of a tripod alien, motivated by several inspirations. He noted, "I guess it goes back to the old fifties' sci-fi book Day of the Triffids, about these tripod plants that come to Earth and cause trouble." Another influence on the tripod design was a similarly three-legged, alien character that had appeared in a science-fiction fantasy play that Curry had written, designed and directed, as one of his thesis projects in grad school. "That was a comedic creature," he noted, "but when this came along, I thought, 'Well, hey, wouldn't it be cool to do a tripod creature?'" ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features) Yet another relevant influence was knowing that Foundation Imaging, who were commissioned to design the creature, would likely be able to handle such a lifeform. "I knew also that on 'Hypernauts' Foundation had done a tripod creature that was a kind of pet antelope called a gloose," explained Curry. "Ron Thornton had shown me a tape of the character." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 27-28) After deciding that Species 8472 would be tripedal, Dan Curry did some sketches that he later characterized as "very, very crude." ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features)
The prospect of demonstrating that the aliens were not being played by actors had an impact on the tripedal nature of Species 8472 as well as their overall design. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 74) However, Dan Curry initially waited to relay the concept of the alien's three-legged form to Foundation Imaging, because Ronald B. Moore wanted to avoid imposing a particular design on the team. Moore recounted, "We approached Ron Thornton at Foundation and said, 'Look, here's what we're trying to do. Why don't you have your guys draw something up, and we'll look it over' [....] I would never presume to jump on that three-legged thing unless it was a script point. I'll just say, 'Show me some alien creatures.'" (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 28)
Endeavoring to focus the design, Foundation Imaging brought Steve Burg into the process, he having worked as a concept artist on multiple movies and actually having been responsible for the gloose design. Burg worked with Ron Thornton, who passed all of Dan Curry's and Ron Moore's remarks on to him. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 28) During Burg's tenure on the project, the communication between him and Curry was profuse, with them exchanging many sketches and ideas. ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features; Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 74)
As Moore had planned, Burg commenced his work on the project by consulting the few details about the alien that were available in the script, including the ultimately changed notion of it having a height of fourteen feet. With very little guidelines to proceed from, however, Burg's first drawing of the alien failed to impress the producers, who deemed it as too conventional, overly similar to the creatures designed for 'Alien' and 'Predator'. Burg later admitted, "I have to say I agree [....] It does have sort of a mantis-like feeling and I think that kept on through [the design process], but I think there was a miscalculation in that we began by making it too derivative, not of Star Trek things, but of other creature designs. There are definitely similarities between the head and the alien from 'Predator.' I think it was the head they were most concerned about. They wanted something like the alien, but they didn't want a rip-off." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 28 & 30)
Following this initial rejection, Ron Thornton advised Steve Burg to produce several quick sketches featuring a variety of looks that the producers could choose from. "The next batch were just basic silhouettes," Burg explained. "Some have three legs; some have two legs; some of them have a split tripodal base, with below the knee bifurcated. I don't think I had any real strong idea." The three-legged approach to some of these renderings meant that the design was nearing what Dan Curry was looking for. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 30) Although some of the images showed the creature with very viscerally sharp teeth, Ron Moore steered the design away from this direction, as the creature also had to look intelligent. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 29 & 30) "One thing that Ron mentioned, which he may have gotten from Paramount, was that the thing was to have practically no mouth," stated Burg. "One way of making it look smart is to not give it big teeth, like a Tyrannosaurus or something. If something looks very nasty and it doesn't have obvious claws or teeth, you figure it works on a whole other level." The producers selected one of the drawings, which suggested the creature's height as well as looking suitably alien, and asked Burg to concentrate on developing it. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 30)
Steve Burg's assignment of fleshing out the chosen sketch involved a fair amount of work, as it was a view of the creature from behind and therefore didn't show its face. As he started by focusing on its alien anatomy and tackling how it might realistically move, the design continued its transformation into a more definite form. Even though Burg supported the notion of the creature having a tripod design as sounding "great," it took him a while to overcome the challenge of the alien having not only three legs but also a front and back. "The biggest problem was dealing with that third leg," Burg commented. "In the end it became like a human leg, but it started out as more of a symmetrical tripod; all the legs pointed out from the middle and the body was more centrally located [....] I think it moved back toward something you could relate to; it became sort of a centaur." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 30)
Even while the creature's appearance was evolving with each successive drawing, Steve Burg was forming a considerably clear idea of how it was to look, later saying, "I think that once this guy got underway he began to take on his own identity [....] At a certain point, something clicked and everyone started to see what this creature was." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 30-31)
Work progressed on refining the face. One concept that Steve Burg submitted for the head was judged as being not alien-looking enough, with the producers concerned that it might be mistaken for a mask. They consequently requested that Burg sketch out some alternatives. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 31) "Since the head/face is really where the creature is expressed, it was not at all surprising that they wanted to evaluate several possible directions before committing to a more finalized concept," said Burg. "I remember I just sat down and churned out a whole bunch of weird alien heads." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 31 & 32)
According to Dan Curry, he was responsible for deciding that the alien's neck shouldn't be a thick solid structure. "I had [...] the idea of having the neck muscles be separate tubes that you could see through, so it couldn't possibly be a guy in a suit," Curry said. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 74) However, according to Steve Burg, this facet of the extraterrestrial came about due to him refining the shape of its head. "Somewhere in the middle of doing that I started gravitating toward the sort of tripod neck structure," Burg related. "That seemed like a good way of making it something that obviously a person could not be wearing, even if you were in a closeup. I tend to think in terms of mechanical devices when I design, and the neck turned into a sort of flight simulator thing. That seemed to click with everybody." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 31-32) Regardless of who devised the arrangement of the neck, Ron Moore clarified, "I think that what we were trying to do was get something that didn't look like a guy in a suit. If we could design something where you could see its spinal column, and the muscles separate so you would have little openings, that would help us give it other than the look of a guy in a suit. So we tried to get that." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 95) Likewise, Ron Thornton remarked, "We wanted to make sure it had lots of open spaces in it. For example, the neck is actually three very thin muscles, so there couldn't possibly be a guy in a suit. We did the same with arms as well, giving them extra joints and things." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #16, p. 37)
From the various drawings of the alien's head, the producers chose two or three images. "[They] were similar to each other; sort of variations on a theme," concluded Steve Burg. "They decided that was the direction they wanted to go." Making the alien internally consistent allowed Burg to connect the head to the torso – a task that, thanks to the creature's relatively humanoid form, was fairly easy to achieve. "It was just a matter of maintaining the style through the body," Burg remembered, "putting muscles under the skin that were kind of like what you saw in the head and extending that through the torso." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 32)
Digital modeling
Once Steve Burg was finished externally crafting Species 8472, his drawings for the alien were handed over to John Teska, who was made responsible for building the model, turning Burg's designs into computer-generated reality. These examples of concept artwork included drawings that demonstrated the creature's full height as well as the approved head designs. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, pp. 31-33) Teska was delighted to join the project. "When I started to be brought into the process," he remembered, "and I saw some of the sketches that were being done by Steve Burg, you know, I was totally excited because it was a non-humanoid. It didn't look like the usual guys with just facial changes. This one had this very strange kind of neck and very strange body structure, with three legs and everything. So, you know, as an animator, as a character designer or creature person, I was totally jazzed about bringing this guy to life. In this case, Steve Burg had had several meetings with Paramount, so they had several different designs [....] There were many drawings and there were features on each one they liked. So, Paramount and Dan Curry came to me and talked about these different designs, and said, 'Could you put them all together and basically create a creature out of that?' So, I didn't have any singular drawing of, 'This is the final creature.'" ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features)
With John Teska's involvement, the alien design continued to develop. "The very first thing I did," Teska recalled, "was, once I had these drawings, was just did a very simple, blocky kind of shape, just to kind of get the proportions and figure out how big the head, how big the body and everything would be, and then gave that back to Paramount. So, it became a back-and-forth thing, going from very blocky, crude... then working up to the finer details. And then, ultimately, the paint maps and the textures were done several weeks later. So, it sort of evolved over the course of his creation." ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features)
John Teska based the finer details of the design on the few facts that were available about the aliens. Even though their vague backstory did not provide much insight into the creatures' origins, the fact they were to be established as communicating psychically indicated that they wouldn't have to be depicted as talking much. "So, one of the key things was getting kind of an expressive, weird forehead and just a feeling that they were different," Teska mused. "But then, also knowing how they attacked people – they're always described as really vicious and just tearing – and that they cause infection just by tearing at you or whatever, so.... Really, I mean, that was what drove the animation, was just trying to find a way to make them feel just really fast and menacing, you know, whereas the Borg always had numbers on their side and always had that sort of zombie, 'we're going to get you, no matter what' thing. But with Species 8472, it was just more of the surprise that they'll just... burst your doorway and start slashing." ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features) Similarly, Ron Thornton stated, "A lot of it was creating a personality for the creature in the first place [....] What we wanted to do here was something [...] like a leopard on attack. It would burst through the wall and completely decimate the Borg." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #16, p. 37) Ron Moore concurred that the desire to separate the look of each of the aliens from "a guy in a suit" also influenced how the visual effects team designed the aliens' movement. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 95)
The question of how to execute some of the alien design aspects initially proved somewhat troublesome. John Teska explained, "There were a few things on this character [that were questionable; the open-neck structure] [...] became a little bit of a question, how to rig that, and then the same thing with the legs." Dan Curry noted, "My faith in John Teska as an animator was so great that I just trusted he would be able to come up with a very convincing way to move it about." Teska continued, "Of course, I thought a lot about, 'How would this guy walk?'" Ultimately, however, he needn't have worried so much about designing the way that the alien would move. He remarked, "Ironically, we never actually saw him walk more than one or two steps over the course of his life. He's always leaping into rooms and tearing people apart, but he never actually just walked down a hallway, in any of the shots. Really, I just had to think more about getting these attack motions." ("The Birth of Species 8472", VOY Season 4 DVD special features) Teska took a week to build the CG model of Species 8472. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 33)
A difficulty similar to portraying the aliens walking through a corridor was how to fit such a tall alien into the corridors, in the first place. Ron Thornton commented, "That it would be something nasty which was supposed to be nine feet tall made it very difficult to do. It was a little tight, squeezing a nine-foot tall character into the corridors, but I think it worked out." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #16, p. 37)
Highly pleased with the general flexibility of Species 8472's final design, Ron Thornton enjoyed the process of animating the alien. "Suddenly, we could do a totally non-anthropomorphic creature, that was nasty, vicious, and has a personality," he related. "The animator now becomes an actor and has to give a performance to this creature, and that's something I love to do." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #16, p. 37)
Steve Burg was ultimately very satisfied with the design of Species 8472, including the input that John Teska had, and termed the final version of the aliens as "absolutely amazing." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 2, p. 33) Shortly following the initial broadcast of the species' introductory appearance in "Scorpion", Jeri Taylor said of the aliens, "I thought [they] [...] were really cool." (Star Trek Monthly issue 31, p. 12) Likewise, the inclusion of Species 8472 in "Scorpion, Part II" made that fourth season premiere a particular highlight for Dan Curry, who remarked of the installment, "It was good to see Species 8472." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 74) The possibility that the aliens would make return appearances, after the "Scorpion" two-parter, was on the condition that they proved to be popular among viewers. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 29, No. 6/7, p. 96) Shortly after the fourth season began its initial broadcast, Brannon Braga said of Species 8472, "People seem to love them, and we're definitely going to see those aliens again this season." (Star Trek Monthly issue 34, p. 13)
Despite the general popularity of Species 8472, the feedback from some fans included repeated accusations that the aliens were slightly too reminiscent of the Shadows from Babylon 5. (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #16, p. 38) Indeed, the unofficial reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 188) even goes as far as to state that Foundation Imaging – which created the CGI for the first three seasons of the aforementioned series, prior to working on Star Trek: Voyager – were faced with a hurried deadline, as regards the creation of Species 8472's design, and that, according to Foundation employee Adam Lebowitz, the company completed the workload by modifying the Shadows at the wire-frame stage before giving them new skin textures. Ron Thornton – who also worked on Babylon 5 – denied the resemblance, however; he directly stated that the allegation of the reuse "wasn't true." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #16, p. 38)
Species 8472 was featured on the cover of Lightwavin' #4.
In a 2003 interview, Nick Sagan admitted to liking Species 8472, remarking that he thought they (in common with the Vidiians) were one of numerous "cool aliens" that succeeded in differentiating Star Trek: Voyager from previous Star Trek series. He also opined (about Species 8472, specifically), "I think they're great villains." [2]
At the 2009 New Jersey Star Trek convention, Kate Mulgrew remarked to the audience that Species 8472 was her personal favorite of Star Trek: Voyager's villains. [3]
Species 8472 is one of the main races featured in the game Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force. In that game, the player must infiltrate a Borg cube infested with Species 8472 to locate a material called 'isodesium'. They are also the main enemy of the Borg and a playable race in Star Trek: Armada II.
The short story "Places of Exile", in the Myriad Universes omnibus Infinity's Prism, tells the tale of an alternate reality where Voyager is attacked by Species 8472 and crippled. The crew has no choice but to stay in the Delta Quadrant, and find a way to survive. Captain Janeway and the crew form a loose alliance of Delta Quadrant species called the "Delta Coalition". The crew also meets 8472 again but they need help from the Coalition. In this story, Species 8472 receive a name – the "Groundskeepers" (in keeping with the incarnation of Boothby seen in VOY: "In the Flesh", who retained much of the personality of the original Boothby and plays a major role in the story).
In the game Star Trek Online, Species 8472 told the Klingons to call them the "Undine", revealed in the tie-in novel The Needs of the Many to roughly translate from the Undine language as "Groundskeepers". The Klingon/Federation War is partly based on the fact that the Klingons have sworn to eradicate the Undine, who have been taking the form of high-ranking officials in the Federation (in addition to other cultures), leading to a lack of trust on the part of the Klingon Empire. Also, in a game mission, the Borg have recently discovered a way to bypass Species 8472's biological defenses and assimilate them into the Borg Collective. However, Federation/Klingon players destroyed the prototype of this technology before it could be used by the Borg. There is also a short story arc dedicated to The Undine, in which the player discovers that the Iconians had attacked the Undine, and this made them think that the species of the Alpha and Beta Quadrant attacked them, so they retaliate and infiltrate Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force, and many other factions.

Technology for most of us has become an inextricable part of our daily lives. Cell phones, computers, email, Facebook, electronic calendars. The list goes on. As more and more of our personal information is shared, it is also at risk. Today -- "International Data Privacy Day" -- the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine and a group of bipartisan legislators unveiled a new package of laws aimed at better protecting Mainers' privacy. Patty Wight has more.
Left to right: Reps Mike McClellan and Diane Russell, Jeff Northrop, ACLU of Maine President John Paterson and Executive Director Shenna Bellows at today's news conference.
Think for a moment about how much of your personal information is stored digitally, whether it's in your own computer, someone elses, or in a virtual cloud: bank records and bills; health information; store reward cards - even the Turnpike EZ Pass.
Jeff Northrop chief technology officer for the International Association of Privacy Professionals. He says there's a growing tension surrounding privacy. On one side is the general public, which fears losing control of personal information. "On the other side we have the ever-present march of technology," he says.
And technology does a lot of good things, Northrop says. It helps companies become more efficient and productive. It helps track flu outbreaks and political hotspots. But much of that is fueled by personal information. And therein lies the tension, says Northrop. And a very challenging problem: "How can you at once resolve somebody's fears - calm their fears - while not stifling innovation?"
Challenging as it may be, some Maine legislators are taking a stab at the issue. One of them is Rep. Diane Russell, a Democrat from Portland. "I stand to you today on the corner of convenience and creepy," she said.
Russell wants to empower consumers. Her bill - The Maine Online Privacy Protection Act - would require commercial Web sites to conspicuously let Maine consumers know when personal information is being collected and shared.
Along with Russell's bill is one from Republican Rep. Mike McClellan, of Raymond. He wants to protect social media privacy at work. His bill would block employers from getting passwords to their employee's social media accounts, something, he says, that's already happening.
"You wouldn't expect your employer to say, 'When you come to work tomorrow, can you bring your photo albums, your home videos, your diary?'" he says. "You would say, 'No.' So why would we think that an employer could say, 'I want to get on your Facebook account?'"
These are just two of a package of five bills with bipartisan support that aim to protect personal privacy. The others would limit drone use for domestic spying and require law enforcement to get warrants before they can track cell phone data and text messages.
This package of bills coincides with the top priority for the Maine ACLU this year: to protect personal privacy. Executive Director Shenna Bellows says it's time for Maine laws to catch up with technology.
"A world where the government can monitor everything we do, say, or write, at anytime, without reason to believe we've done anything wrong, was once only the work of science fiction," she says. "But the technology so essential to modern life has now made possible total surveillance at all times." The biggest threat that individuals face, says Bellows, is identity theft, which is one of the fastest growing crimes in the U.S.
While these bills have bipartisan sponsors, it's unclear whether there will be support from businesses or law enforcement. Both the Maine State Chamber of Commerce and the Chiefs of Police Association say they haven't yet seen or discussed the proposed laws.

Riverside, CA (Sports Network) - Keala King paced four teammates in double
figures with 18 points as the Long Beach State 49ers outlasted the UC
Riverside Highlanders in overtime, 91-82, in Big West Conference action at SRC
King shot 7-of-11 from the field and also chipped in six rebounds and three
assists for LBSU (9-8, 5-1 Big West), which has won a season-high four
straight games. James Ennis stuffed the stat sheet with 17 points, seven
boards, five assists and five steals, while Tony Freeland (15 points, three
steals) and Mike Caffey (13 points, seven assists) were also impressive.
For UCR (4-13, 1-4), Chris Patton scored a career-high 21 points on 8-of-11
from the field, Chris Harriel netted 15 points, and Taylor Johns scored 14
points. Austin Quick tallied 12 points and seven assists, but he also
committed eight turnovers.
Both teams shot well from the floor in the first half, with UCR making 51.9
percent from the field and LBSU shooting 46.7 percent. The teams went into
intermission knotted up at 34-34.
The 49ers led for the majority of the second half, and after a pair of Ennis
free throws with 14 seconds to play in regulation, they held a 75-72 lead.
However, the Highlanders answered on the other end with a Harriel 3-pointer to
tie the game. King missed a trey for LBSU in the waning seconds and the game
went to overtime.
LBSU started the extra session on a 10-0 run, which was too much for UCR to
recover from.
The 49ers shot 17-of-21 from the foul line, while the Highlanders were only 8-
of-15 from the stripe. LBSU also won the turnover battle, 17-10.

Ohio Rape Controversy Consumes Small Town
On the evening of August 11, 2012, authorities say high school students in the small town of Steubenville, Ohio, including many popular football players from the local high school, attended a house party where there was allegedly widespread underage drinking. "What started as an end-of-summer party for a group of teens wound up a national scandal," Dr. Phil says.
According to witnesses, a 16-year-old girl, who was allegedly drunk, vomiting and barely able to walk, left the party with several males and was allegedly sexually assaulted by two of them while she was unconscious. It has been reported that the young woman learned of the evening's events through friends and social media, and days later, her parents went to authorities with a flash drive containing photos, videos and tweets implicating the accused.
Several days later, high school football players Trent Mayes and Ma'lik Richmond, both16, were arrested for sexual assault and kidnapping. The kidnapping charge was later dropped.
Dr. Phil says media reports of preferential treatment for the players took this story to another level.
On December 23, 2012, Internet hacker group Anonymous threatened to release information on the high school players allegedly involved in the incident unless a public apology was made to the alleged victim and her family by January 1. When the deadline passed without an apology, Anonymous posted an Instragam photo online of the alleged victim being carried by two males along with a 12-minute video showing one teen joking about the alleged assault. Anonymous also posted the names of other partygoers who were allegedly present and reportedly did not intervene. "Everyone who witnessed it is just as guilty as the people who did it," Anonymous said via its YouTube channel.
The community of Steubenville erupted in protests and the school was put on lockdown because of threats. "Will life in Steubenville ever return to normal?" Dr. Phil asks.
Ma'lik Richmond's attorney, Walter Madison, and crime blogger Alexandria Goddard, who once lived in Steubenville and now reports on national crime, join the show.
Dr. Phil asks how 40 to 50 teenagers were allegedly underage drinking. "Where the hell are the adults in this situation? Why isn't there supervision? Why do they feel so safe that they can talk about this so openly?"
Jeno is a football player and friends with the accused. "Around Steubenville, being on the high school football team is celebrity status," he says. He maintains that he was not at the party that evening, but he does support his friends. His mother, Jill, says she worries Jeno is having nightmares and will face backlash for standing up for his friends.
"I had someone tweet me that the entire football team should kill ourselves," Jeno says. "Another threat said all football players need to be lined up and shot in the head."
Jill says she's concerned about the safety of the children of Steubenville. "There is so much hate," she says.
Walter explains why he didn't want Ma'lik to appear on the show. And, does he think his client can get a fair trial in Steubenville? Plus, watch video referencing the alleged incident that even Walter calls "offensive."
How does Jeno explain his unquestioned loyalty to his friends — the accused. And, Dr. Phil shares his thoughts on the scandal and the inflammatory tweets.
Chief of Police Bill McCafferty weighs in on the rumors of a similar incident in April. And, does he believe all is being done to seek justice in the August incident? "There is a lot of misinformation out there." Then, Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla opens up about the investigation.
"I think parents need to sit down with boys and say, 'Look, there are boundaries.' And boys, you have to avoid even the appearance of impropriety."
Robin Sax, a formal prosecutor specializing in sex crimes against children, worries that raping a drunk girl can make for the perfect crime. And, Dr. Phil shares his most serious concerns.

text: A traditional setting allows the craftsman to put a personal mark on the motif. The craftsman determines the exact number of gemstones to set as well as the design of the motif on the work entrusted to him. He starts with fine drilling then goes on to size the holes. Like a sculptor in the material, he makes repeated cuts. With these cuts he draws out the grain that will hold the gem stones. At this stage, each stone is positioned and must be carefully adjusted to achieve a perfectly snug fit. Lastly the grain is circular-grained, after which the stone will not move from its setting.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- Miguel Paul scored 22 points and handed out 10 assists as East Carolina defeated Marshall 86-79 Saturday night in their final game before next week's Conference USA tournament.
Maurice Kemp added 21 points for the Pirates (18-11, 9-7), who posted a winning conference record for the first time since joining in the 2001-02 season.
East Carolina will have a bye into the tournament quarterfinals Thursday. The Thundering Herd (13-18, 6-10), who defeated the Pirates 77-56 in their regular-season meeting, will play a first-round game Wednesday.
Paul's two free throws gave East Carolina an 84-79 lead with 12 seconds left. The Pirates made 27 of 33 free throws in the second half to Marshall's 10 of 12.
Akeem Richmond scored 18 points and Robert Sampson had 12 rebounds for East Carolina.
Marshall had three players with 20 or more points. Robert Goff scored 27, Elijah Pittman 21 and DeAndre Kane 20.

I have been laid off from work for the past year and a half. I just started a new job last week so of course my youngest comes down with the stomach bug that's going around. Ydd woke up through the night last night vomiting and hasn't been able to keep anything down all day long. I had to call into work this am to stay home with her.
It's not looking like she is going to be well enough to go to school tomorrow so I have asked DH to stay home with her. He is having a fit! Saying it is the mothers job, blah, blah. I don't think this should only be a responsibility I bear, especially after just starting a new job.
For debate, who stays home with your child when they are sick if you are a 2 parent working household? Also, does it matter who makes the most money?
