Techbridge fires up girls to tackle tech
People sometimes ask Linda Kekelis why she wants resources devoted to helping girls get involved with science, technology, engineering and math — STEM. Girls would do it if they were interested in it, they say.
But according to Kekelis, that's simply not true.
Instead, gender stereotypes, bad information given to families and the limited resources in low-income schools discourage girls from joining STEM activities and careers, Kekelis explained.
That's why, in 1999, she started Techbridge, a nonprofit that provides hands-on learning programs mostly for girls in underserved schools to foster their interest in STEM fields. This year, Techbridge has about 400 students in fifth grade through high school in its after-school programs, which it operates at 14 schools throughout Oakland, San Lorenzo and San Jose.
• STEM's flask is only half full
• Q&A: S.F. seeks STEM help from tech community
With funding from sponsors that include the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation, Chevron, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the National Science Foundation, among many others, Kekelis and her team at Techbridge are also trying to expand their reach beyond the schools they work with directly. Techbridge works with 17 Girl Scout councils throughout the country, providing them with program kits that include materials and curriculum for their STEM-related activities. It provides resources including information guides to families to encourage their children in STEM and professional development for after-school staff in Oakland.
And a five-year, $2.7 million grant from the National Science Foundation will allow Techbridge to scale up to three new cities around the country, helping Kekelis and her team make Techbridge a leader in the global conversation about women in STEM. Her ultimate goal for Techbridge, she said, is to "be the national center for promoting STEM girls." Techbridge will roll out an after-school program first in Seattle in fall 2014; the other two cities will be determined later.
Schools opt in to Techbridge for year-long programs hosted after school on the school campus. Teachers from Techbridge come to the schools to educate girls about the nature of STEM work and lead them in a range of design and building-focused activities, such as building a prosthetic hand for the disabled or a sustainable "green" room or house, or designing a better hair dryer. A couple times a year, the girls go on field trips to technology and engineering companies around the Bay Area to get a glimpse at life in STEM fields firsthand. Techbridge also runs a summer program that is available to girls in the after-school programs and is hosted at Techbridge headquarters in Oakland. Besides program coordinators and teachers who work with girls in the educational programs, Techbridge also trains role models — women who work in STEM professions and come in to lead activities and talk to girls about careers in STEM.
One such person is Lyn Gomes, an engineer with kW Engineering, who got involved with Techbridge about nine years ago and now serves on its board of directors. Feeling bitter about the fact that she was the only girl in many of her college engineering classes, Gomes said, she realized she could do something about it by encouraging girls to get involved in her field through Techbridge.
Gomes attended the Techbridge training class for role models, and when she went into the classroom, she loved that she could help lead girls in activities that were hands-on and design-focused. It's a valuable exercise in sparking interest in engineering, Gomes said. "Engineers often say they got into (engineering) because they liked taking things apart," she said.
One of the biggest challenges Techbridge faces on a regular basis, said executive director Kekelis, is dispelling stereotypes people have about girls' interests and abilities in STEM fields. Many families don't encourage girls' interests in engineering and building from an early age because they have a misconception about what those professions are.
"They say, 'My daughter likes to help people,'" Kekelis said, not realizing that engineers and scientists solve world problems regularly. One of Techbridge's goals is to help reshape the image of these fields.
Years ago at her now-grown son's preschool, Kekelis — an academic who has focused on psychology, linguistics and child behavior — found that even subconsciously, people perpetuated stereotypes of children's interests defined by gender.
"Boys were offered blocks to play with, and girls were complimented on their pretty red tights," she said.
Compounding the issue of the absence of women in STEM careers, the under-resourced school communities where Techbridge operates usually have only limited course offerings for subjects such as computer science, and girls might not think they have the skills or intelligence to pursue careers in STEM fields, Kekelis said. Techbridge provides opportunities to learn about such subjects, but also emphasizes instilling confidence and perseverance in students, something that Techbridge alumna and current University of California, Berkeley sophomore Estephania Franco still holds dear.
"One of the many positive impacts (of Techbridge) was helping me build my career path as early as high school," Franco said. "Techbridge isn't a program — it's a family that cheers when you are successful and is there when the road gets tough."

Feature Request Reminder: Form Breached and Cloned without PermissionAsked by markashton on December 19, 2013 at 09:51 AM
I have sent a demo out to a company. There are a lot of submissions going on.
My razor sharp instincts tell me they are trying to reverse engineer my form ... rather not thanks.
So, one disables the form and what do they see ...
Well that's great ... I've now led them to my source ... and they can happily clone the form becuase you've done nothing about this have you?
I mean it was only July ... but now my powerful little web-app is compromised ...
What says you?
Yikes, Very sorry about that Mark and I can see exactly what you mean by this. I think that you have a Valid point with this because with out that it is Potentially Damaging your own Business. The problem though is that unfortunately I'm unable to promise anything in regards to your previous Cloned Forms Control Feature you had originally requested to prevent that from happening. It's been added to our List. However, we do not currently have it marked as one of our top priorities to do just yet.
Let me talk to our Developers some more on your behalf to bring this important matter up to them.
Provide me with a method of preventing someone from nicking my intellectual property in the meantime ... or is it Open-Season on anyone's work ...??
I've passed the message on to them as I stated in my first response. Additionally, I'm opening this via a New Support Ticket for this matter. I think this will help to serve as an Instant Reminder about your previous request also since I have made some further notes about it so we'll see what more we can do in regards to it.
As normal though, please note that I do not have the authority to make any promises or final decisions about these sorts of things other than to bring it to our Dev Team's attention for consideration.
Ok Thanks Kade ...
I do need some control ... although they are just forms ... companies pay a lot of money for a data solution on smartphones ... they are little web-apps really.
Needs to be addressed. ta

South West MEP On Holidays After Brexit
Green MEP advises holidays makers of their rights post-brexit
Police say a woman and her child were tied up and threatened with a knife during a burglary in Bridgwater.
It happened between 7.50am and 8.15am on Wednesday 21 January when a man went into a house in the Dunwear Lane area of Sydenham, through an insecure door.
While inside, the man tied up the woman and child and a sexual assault also took place.
The man, who was wearing a balaclava-type mask over his face, demanded money and jewellery but it's believe he left empty-handed.
Senior Investigating Officer Det Ch Insp Andy Williams said:''We're treating this as an horrific incident in which a mother and her child were tied up and threatened at knifepoint by an unknown man.
''An offence of this gravity will naturally cause concern in the local community and I'd like to reassure people that we've got a team of experienced detectives and officers working on the case.
''We're looking after the victims who've been through an horrendous ordeal and are giving them all the help and support they need.
''During the course of our inquiry we've carried out house-to-house enquiries at more than 250 properties and are following up on any leads resulting from these visits.
''It's likely there will be an ongoing police presence as we continue making enquiries to piece together what happened.
''My team has already received a number of potential sightings and information which could indicate the offender's movements following the incident.''
A man matching the offender's description was seen by a witness in Dunwear Lane at around 8.12am.
He was then seen running towards the junction of Westonzoyland Road, he turns left into Westonzoyland Road and disappears from sight.
A man is seen on CCTV by St John and St Francis Primary School, a fence was broken in St Davids Court, possibly around the time this incident happened and a knife linked to the inquiry has been found in a garden in Somerville Way.
''The offender had his face covered but I'm urging people to look at the following description and think about whether they saw someone matching it on the morning of Wednesday 21 January, or at any point during the day of the incident or the days before.
''Equally if you know someone who wears clothing similar to those worn by the offender was wearing, we'd like to speak to you.''
The offender is described as white, between 25 and 60 years old and wearing a yellow high vis fluorescent jacket.
He was also wearing a black or dark grey mask or face covering with holes for the eyes and mouth - over the facial covering was a grey hood, dark coloured tracksuit trousers with an elasticated bottom and white trainers.
If you can help the investigation, please call 101 and quote log number 207 of today (05/02).
If you don't want to speak to police or would like to remain anonymous, please call the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Hello, we represent the Hipster Vegeta fanpage on Facebook as well as fans who wish to see the new Dragonball Z movie made into an English dub. This group is to share our knowledge of Dragon Ball Z, and express how much we actually love the show, ontop of having fun and joking around with the content involved. DBZ has taught us, as well as many others many life lessons. Some of us grew up watching only the Japanese version, but many of us grew up listening to the English FUNimation Dub. It is rumored that the FUNi cast has not been contacted, and is not interested in dubbing this long awaited movie, Battle of Gods. It is also a rumor that it is because of financial reasons. This petition is for the producers of FUNimation. We the fans want the BEST, and ONLY the best. We believe FUNimation can give us just that, if in fact there is an English Dub. You can reach us at HipsterVegeta@gmail. Consider our request; I'm sure we won't be disappointed.

External aerodynamics of car (geometry and mesh mothod)
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone.
I have question about external aerodynamics of car, in specific question about preparation of the model.
I have prepared my model in SolidWorks and then exported into Design modeler. Now I got problem with wheels. If I want to have my car accurate on road I have to cut out tires tangent to the road, but no modeler ( i think) will allow such an operation because it will fire the "zero width geometry" error. So I thought of lifting my car up for example for one millimeter. But how can I connect later in mesher surfaces of my wheels and road as I don't want to have slim gap there ?
My other question is about meshing methods. I heard from Ansys re-seller and my tutor in university that for CFD simulations I should use new CutCell method, but i can't find any information about this method ( besides ansys' ads :) ). On the other hand everyone says that for aerodynamic simulation tetra should be used. Which one is better and why ? I couldn't find any comparison of those methods.
cutcell is good method. But I guess with tetra + prism + Hexcore (upto wall) will do the job.
But two points are important to consider before proceeding to the volume mesh (in ICEM or Tgrid):
1. Geometry should be of high quality and water tight
2. Very good quality surface mesh.
Another option in ICEM would to use the octree (hence no step 2). Delete volume mesh and smooth surface. For volume meshing use denauly with AF and Tglib in ICEM or use Tgrid.
Thanks for quick response.
I am kind of stuck with Ansys + Fluent system. I think my geometry is tight as it is not created from surfaces -> I exported solids from Solidworks.
About mesh quality- I know that i should consider mesh with skewness < 0,98 ( 0,95). For now I have bigger skewness, how can I show those skewed cells (I know itis possible, but i couldn't manage to) ? Without that I can only predict where the mesh is highly skewed.
And about my second question, the wheels, how should I connect them to the road?
I want to do both simulation. For now i modeled something more like "wheel chocks" (as solid)and now I am trying to obtain mesh.

Peter Schilling
Peter Schilling (born Pierre Michael Schilling on January 28, 1956, Stuttgart, Germany) is a German synthpop musician whose songs often feature science-fiction themes (aliens, astronauts, nuclear holocaust, etc.). His 1983 album, Error in the System, generated his only international hit single, "Major Tom (Coming Home)", a retelling of David Bowie's classic 1969 song "Space Oddity". Although the song was originally recorded in German, the international hit version was sung in English. The song was recently featured in an episode of the fourth season of Breaking Bad. In 1984 and 1985, Schilling released the albums 120 Grad and 120 Grad's English language version, 1985's Things to Come. From 1986 to 1989, Schilling released non-album singles and put out his 1988 compilation The Different Story. In 1990, Schilling suffered from burnout and the following year he took a break. In 1994, he married his girlfriend Catyana.

By Sue Kirchhoff, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve shouldn't raise interest rates to prevent housing bubbles from forming, but it can take steps to ensure lenders act responsibly or to ease the pain of a market tumble, a Fed official said Wednesday.
"The issue of how central banks should respond to house price movements is therefore not whether they should respond at all," Fed Governor Frederic Mishkin said in a speech in New York. Rather it's whether central banks should respond "over and above" actions required to meet their main mission of ensuring stable inflation and employment, Mishkin said.
In a separate speech in Arizona, San Francisco Fed President Janet Yellen said that even though the current housing market decline has "been significant and will probably continue for a while longer," concerns that it will result in a "devastating collapse — one that might be big enough to cause a recession in the U.S. economy — have been largely allayed."
But Yellen said the Fed, which is trying to steer the economy to a soft landing by raising rates enough to reduce inflation without killing growth, isn't in the clear yet. The biggest unknown is why the job market is going "gangbusters" while growth has slowed, and what that could mean for inflation.
"While I am inclined to see labor market tightness as transitory, I do take it as a serious risk," Yellen said.
After raising short-term interest rates steadily from mid-2004 to mid-2006, the Fed has held the target for short-term rates steady at 5.25% since June. The rates are used as a benchmark for consumer and business loans.
Yellen's comments, coupled with reports Wednesday showing that wholesale prices rose more than expected in December and factory production firmed, make it unlikely the Fed will cut rates soon.
Many market analysts had expected a rate cut early this year, based partly on forecasts that the housing correction could have a major impact on the overall economy. Home building has fallen 25% from last year and new-home sales about 15%.
The Labor Department's producer price index rose 0.9% in December, down from a 2% increase the previous month, but a larger move than economists expected. For 2006, wholesale prices rose 1.1%, compared with a 5.4% jump the previous year.
Stuart Hoffman, PNC chief economist, said in an advisory to clients that the new data mean it "will take clear evidence of weakness outside of the housing and the domestic auto industries to make a funds rate cut a more realistic probability by early summer."
Mishkin said there is mixed economic research on whether raising interest rates deflates dangerous bubbles or can make a downturn worse. Meddling in markets could also undermine public support for central banks, he said. He also noted that housing prices are less volatile than stock prices.

NEW YORK – "Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen," a popular song from the 1952 film musical "Hans Christian Andersen," will probably be played many times this fall, as world leaders will be gathering in the Danish capital in December (and in New York in September) to confront the challenge of climate change. But, unless international thinking gets considerably more realistic in a hurry, what happens in Copenhagen will be anything but wonderful.
It should come as no surprise that there is little consensus on a comprehensive accord that would have a meaningful impact on the world's climate. Governments will not sacrifice near- and medium-term economic growth for long-term environmental benefits. This is especially true now, given that much of the developed world is in the midst of a painful recession. The United States, for one, will not accept ceilings that reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions significantly if it means accepting higher costs and taxes that risk slowing economic recovery.
Developing countries are, if anything, even more opposed to such ceilings or "caps." Four hundred million Indians still lack electricity; India cannot be expected to rule out greater use of coal if that proves to be the best way to produce electricity for one-third of its citizens. China, too, is unlikely to agree to "caps" on emissions of any kind, given the relatively low standard of living of most Chinese. But such a stance dooms prospects for a new global treaty, as developed countries will rightly insist that poorer countries be part of the solution.
The consequences of failure in Copenhagen could be considerable. In the short run, we may well see climate-related concerns become the newest excuse for increased trade protectionism. So-called "carbon tariffs" are likely to be introduced to penalize imports from countries or companies deemed not to be doing enough to curb emissions. World trade is already down sharply as a result of the economic crisis; introducing new tariffs would inevitably reduce trade further, causing the loss of additional jobs and leading to new frictions.

An interstitial eclipse is the interposition of any number of planetary bodies between a planet and a star.
In the case of Premthoth, this eclipse is visible at night because the eclipse occurs when seven of the planets (Enochii and the six inner planets of the Tefireth system) are in the Kesermost decant of their orbits around Tefireth. The eclipse appears as a six-pointed star or hexagon on the brown-red background of the infrared dwarf star. Other instances appear as irregular polygons, triangles, squares and pentagons.

It has come to my attention the the goal of the greifers is to make fake accounts and clean up their greifing with those account to make it look like they are helping the wiki.
their goal is to get promoted on the wiki.
Lets be clear their will not be any admins added, none. So all your scams are for nothing.
so whats the point? you have to be contributing to the wiki for hundreds of hours before something like that would happen. the only 2 people promoted in 2 months where HeroGaming 00:12, June 23, 2011 (UTC) and Osculate osculate has made thousands of edits and put in huge amounts of effort and i have spent literally hundreds of hours editing the videos for the wiki.
i can assure you all your gonna have to do alot more than cleaning up your own griefing to be promoted.
and those who are actually helping are giving rollback after we are 100% sure they are helping.
infact im gonna say that their will be no admins made within the next month on principle just to make sure no one sneaks their way in.

Living History (Hardcover)
I wanted to like this book. I *really* wanted to. And I tried. I struggled through the first 75 pages, and then even skipped ahead to the Monica stuff (page 439) in a desperate effort to find something readable. Nope.
Okay, this isn't a spy novel or my precious Star Trek, but I expected at least *some* daring writing. Not a word. In fact, the only three bright spots I noticed were: 1) The photos, 2) A few pages describing getting Chelsea to Stanford (pages 419-421), and 3) Five paragraphs on page 438 about the "swimsuit photo." Beyond that, I wouldn't know, because that's about all I read.
The Acknowledgements are 6 pages long, and the Index is 28 pages! I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book, but I'm pretty sure "deadly" wasn't it. Sorry, Hillary.

Some Assembly Required (Star Trek: SCE, Omnibus Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I believe I've said this already, but I think this S.C.E. idea was about the best ever (you GO, DeCandido!), and this next batch was no exception to that idea. Waiting for the paperbacks puts me woefully behind the eBooks, this I know, but my patience has been consistently rewarded with each new publication.
In Book Three, we get eBook stories 9-12, and each one is a separate little thrill ride into the S.C.E. universe. And I guess what I'm most impressed with is the continuity of character development and growth throughout each author's writing. That can't be an easy task, especially when the authors are also charged with writing a compelling plot.
If you're like me and don't really care for the eBook format, but are interested in learning about the Starfleet team that goes in to clean up the messes, I *highly* recommend these books. Fast-paced but complex, with great character development and depth.
Good job, I say! Don't stop!

Grand (and other words like it found in any thesaurus)

This review is from:
Cathedral (Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
As I have been reading this re-launch, it occurred to me (duh) that my beloved characters are growing and changing - some, perhaps, in ways I would prefer them *not* to - but certainly none of them are at the place they were when we last saw Deep Space Nine on the tube.
I count this as a good thing, whether I agree with the changes or not. And that's the whole point of this effort, I believe: To lengthen and re-shape characters and situations, *not* to have them lie fallow in our memories, but to continue to move forward into events that might not have fit the mold a few years ago.
For one, the idea of Bajor actually becoming part of the Federation was like a pipe dream when the show was airing - a dream not everyone embraced. Now it's a reality, but this brings a new reality to people like Kira, Ro, and Quark, as well - and still, as you would expect, the idea of Bajor being part of the UFP has not been welcomed by everyone.
As for the Defiant's mission in the Gamma Quadrant, I can only say here is where the book's title really hits home. Three (well, four) crewmembers are decidedly changed after being scanned by an alien artifact, and what they must go through to return to their former selves involves leaps of faith and trust that you or I might never dare to attempt.
And throughout this novel are hints and whispers of things to come that tug uneasily at the heartstrings. Too sappy for you? Too bad! You're missing a good series if you're not reading this one.

This Gray Spirit (Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think I'll provide the gut-response review, and leave the more cerebral efforts to other reviewers.
And what does my gut say? WELL DONE!
The biggest advantage I see, not only in this novel, but with the re-launch itself, is the fact that things can happen without the worry that the next television episode will turn a well-written story into an a/u. I know, I know, the pro novels were never meant to follow canon, but there were always constraints - constraints that are absent from this series.
While some events in this novel are similar in many ways to events I've read in other Trek novels, at no other time has my heart entered in so fully. That's not to say there's not a goodly amount of destruction and betrayal, but the moments that resonant for me are the ones that involve the tragedies and triumphs of the heart. I speak of Andorian bondmates, a young woman's posthumous gift of peace, and baseballs in the forest.
Applause, applause to Heather Jarman in her first pro effort (though I've read her before, but I won't say where) and look forward with great expectation to the next in this series. In fact, I look forward to more pro stuff from Heather, too.

Twilight (Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're a fan of the DS9 re-launch, this is the next book to read. And if you're *not* a fan, I'd recommend you become one, if for no other reason than to read pro Trek that's out from under the contraints of television canon. Imagine, no pesky demographics getting in the way of decent (and multiple) plotlines. It's so *refreshing*!
While it may be true you could be lost if you start with this book, I'll betcha you'll go back to the beginning of the re-launch if you *do* decide to start here.
"Twilight" (the first in a series of four called "Mission Gamma") sets a number of scenes involving our favorites from DS9, plus a few others who were introduced earlier. To me, this is a face-paced and meaty story, with just the right mix of space battles and character development - exactly the way I like my Star Trek. Some story lines are resolved in this novel, but others will be carried into future books, which is as it should be. Kira's holding down the fort on DS9, while Vaughn is on the Defiant, exploring the Gamma Quadrant. To say anything more would be giving away too much.
David R. George's writing style has been described by another reviewer as "extraordinarily rich in descriptive narrative," and I quite agree. He's easy on the eye and the mind - though I *did* add a number of words to my vocabulary with this book.
In reading over the other reviews, I see many who are gagging over the budding romance between Ro and Quark. But I think it's just one more example of the beauty of this whole re-launch thing. Heck, having Ro on the station *at all* is more than we'd probably ever see on TV - at least a Ro with Michelle Forbes' face, which is how I'll always picture her. So I'll take Ro/Quark as part of the whole that is "Mission Gamma" and keep on reading! Besides, I've seen odder couples in my life, so why should I think something in fiction is so farfetched? They say love is blind, after all, and if you read this book, you may discover Ro and Quark have more in common than you might think.
There is also a tiny sub-plot about Kasidy Yates, as she waits alone on Bajor for the birth of her child. She's also trying to come to terms with being the wife of the Emissary, which isn't easy without Ben *or* Jake to support her. I'm glad Kasidy's been included in the re-launch. Hers was the story I really wanted to see resolved - or at least continued - and I'm glad to see it happening here.

The Battle of Betazed (Star Trek: The Next Generation) (Mass Market Paperback)
First, I recommend you read both "imzadi" and Joe Zika's reviews and know I agree with them both. (On to my review.)
After having just read "A Hard Rain," I can only say I'm glad I saved this one for last. This was one story that needed to be told. It's fast-paced and meaty, and packed with real-life decisions and hard truths about less-than-ethical compromises that must be made in times of war.
Though this is going to sound perfectly ridiculous, the one thing that satisfied me the most had nothing to do with the battle but with a bit of continuity I applaud: We learn about the existence of Barin, Deanna's two-and-a-half year old half-brother.
...And this time, halleluia, the cover art *does* have something to do with the plot!

This review is from:
Dyson Sphere (Star Trek: The Next Generation No. 50) (Mass Market Paperback)
I got myself through this book, only because I kept thinking the next page would draw me in. But it never did. Nothing flowed very well, and about the only thing that really held my interest were the essays by the authors at the end.
But try as I might, I simply could not envision the inside of this Sphere or what was happening to it, and the story narrative did nothing to help, nevermind the stilted, choppy dialogue.
And Scotty, where the heck was Scotty??!!! Too many mentions of his poor ship, but no sign of my favorite engineer. I didn't check the timeline, so I don't know if he was already with the Starfleet Corps of Engineers by the time this book was written, but maybe not. Doesn't matter, he should have been part of this story. Heck, the S.C.E. should have been here, not the Enterprise!
If you ask me, the only characters with any depth at all were made of rock. Better you simply watch the TNG episode, "Relics," and be done with it.

This review is from:
A Hard Rain (Star Trek The Next Generation) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting from this novel, but I'm pretty sure it didn't live up to my expectations, if that makes any sense. Dean Wesley Smith is one of my favorites, and the book's certainly written in his familiar style, but I think he fell short of the mark on this one. I kept waiting for the story to grip me, but it never did, and I figured it out way before Dix did.
I did, however, LOVE the cover. As I have said in the past, I *do* buy books for their covers, and having met the artist, Sonia Hillios, at Shore Leave at the very time she had finished painting this one, well, I just had to have it when I saw it for sale.
But unless you simply must have a complete set of TNG paperbacks or adore the covers like I do, you can skip this one and not be any worse for it.
That having been said, I hope Dean gets a chance to try again, because I like the idea of Dixon Hill, and I'm sure Dean does, too.

An unexpectedly *remarkable* Data story
March 1 2002
This review is from:
Immortal Coil (Star Trek The Next Generation) (Mass Market Paperback)
Before you open this book, I'd recommend you first brush up on your Trek history by watching your copy of the TOS episode, "Requiem for Methuselah." Or if you don't own the episode on tape, like I don't, go instead to your handy TOS Companion and the Trek Encyclopedia to read up on it. You might also want to do the same for the TNG episode, "Measure of a Man," just so you'll have a better list of who's who for this novel. (Of course, I only had to go as far as the ruthlessly-organized bookshelf upstairs for my tape of "Measure of a Man," but that's something else entirely.) It's *very* satisfying the way this novel ties these continuity threads together, while at the same time providuing character...growth and change, shall we say?
As I glanced over the other reviews, I noticed Joshua Macy's first paragraph - with his comments about it being a mystery, a meditation on immortality, a romance (yup, *romance*), and a bang-up sci-fi adventure all rolled into one - pretty much sums it up, including that part about giving him the shivers.
There was a hauntingly-delicious moment for me, very near the end, when Data comes to understand why Picard insisted he not deactiviate his emotion chip. If it were anyone else, you might yawn with the obviousness, but it's not anyone else - it's *Data.* He's not supposed to come to these kinds of understandings.
Is he?
I'd say this book is worth it just for that, but it's not. It's worth it for FAR more. Go with your gut: read this one.

Miracle Workers, S.C.E. Book Two (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't say much in this review of Book 2 of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers that I didn't already say in my review of Book 1. That is, it's great! Well-written, believable, and very entertaining, with nods to continuity throughout. If you're not reading these, or the DS9 re-launch, then you're missing out on some great stuff.
An added bonus in the back of this publication is the S.C.E. Minipedia, written by one of the good ones, Keith R.A. DeCandido. Set up like the Star Trek Encyclopedia, it contains all you'll need to know and more about the persons, places, and things in the S.C.E. universe, which includes, of course, plenty of the canon stuff we've come to know and love. And for those of you who favor nitpicking, there's an e-mail address where you are invited to send in errors, corrections, or comments if you wish.
Win-win, if you ask me.

The fans have spoken, and now Arizona State University finally has its updated mascot.
It puts an end to a saga that began on March 1, when the school unveiled a redesigned Sparky, much to the dismay of many students, fans and alumni.
So, less than three weeks later the school decided to scrap the design and instead give the power to those who were upset. Students, alumni, season ticket holders, donors, faculty and staff were eligible to vote for one of four options starting April 22. The voting ended May 5.
Several students weighed in about the new, new Sparky on Wednesday.
"It looks pretty intimidating, said Kelly Chase. "I think it's a good thing for a mascot."
"It's better than the first redesign," said Andy Francis. "The first redesign was horrible."
"That is a kick-butt looking Sun Devil," said Mary Anderson. "I really like it."
Other people aren't so sure. One girl said the new Sparky looks kind of like a Bumble Bee.

MCQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Oversized Metallic Biker Jacket - SilverA thoroughly contemporary twist on a classic, this Oversized Metallic Biker Jacket from McQ Alexander McQueen gilds this season's shearling with a molten metal edge. Its oversized design partners perfectly with a skinny lower silhouette, while the silver-toned finish is neutral enough to style with any colour. We've paired it with an all-black look but think it'd look just as cool teamed with paler palettes and dark indigo denim.
Model Sizing
Model is 5'10", standard UK size 8 and wears size IT 42 (UK 10)

Combination surgery
Best wishes and good luck.
Richard G. Reish, M.D.
Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
I want five different surgeries done, is it possible to get it all done at once?
It is best to evaluate each patient's suitability for combination surgery on an individualized basis. During this consultation process, after a complete history and physical, the SAFETY of combining these surgical procedures becomes of paramount importance. Plastic surgeon, anesthesia provider, duration of surgery, surgery facility all important considerations. Your best bet: choose your plastic surgeon very carefully; everything else including good judgment/advice/planning, anesthesia provider and safe surgery facility will follow.
I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to patients who have experienced significant weight loss), helps. Best wishes.

LAFAYETTE — The price Thomas Viator and his family got for their 2013 sugar cane crop was so low they decided to devote more of their acreage this year to another crop.
"It forced our farm to start growing soybeans, to double crop," said Viator, a veteran farmer from Youngsville whose farm in mid-April planted more beans than ever before.
"A lot of farmers have done it," said Viator, who with his four brothers farms 5,500 acres in Lafayette, Iberia, St. Martin and Vermilion parishes.
On Thursday, Viator's cane-hauling trucks will start transporting cane to mills — "sugar houses," he says — but this year the trucks will make fewer trips.
Viator and his brothers made the decision to plant more beans this year and invest in new soybean equipment after seeing sugar prices fall to about 20 cents per pound.
The price fall triggered the U.S. government to this year step in and start purchasing sugar to keep the price at 20 cents, which cost U.S. taxpayers $278 million, according to figures provided by the American Sugar Cane League.
Farmers and sugar grower organizations blamed unchecked imports from Mexico for causing the price of U.S. sugar to fall to 20 cents from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 levels of 27 to 34 cents per pound.
American Sugar Cane League executive Jim Simon said Mexican farmers subsidized by their government "dumped" millions of tons into the U.S. market and the abundance of sugar caused prices to flatline.
"We're fortunate we had a couple of good years," said Simon, general manager for the Thibodaux-based organization.
The 2010-12 prices allowed some farmers to stash away for low-price times. Other Louisiana farmers were unable to keep going and got out of the business, Simon said.
Simon's organization and others lobbied the U.S. government, which led to an announcement in August of an import duty deposit on Mexico sugar, to be imposed next year.
Simon said the announcement alone increased the price of raw sugar to 22 cents at the time.
"The market has already built in and seen some of the effects of our trade case," Simon said. "What we're hoping is that this will stem the flow of uncontrolled Mexican sugar into the market and allow the U.S. Department of Agriculture to manage the domestic sugar market."
Last week, sugar had risen to the 22- to 25-cent-a-pound range, said Mike Salassi, an LSU AgCenter economist who specializes in sugar.
While that price is good, Salassi said, farmers and mills need that price to be sustained over 12 to 15 months, the period over which one year's harvest is sold.
Beyond price
For farmers, the price of sugar is only one worry. There's also the weather. Winter freezes and prolonged rain hinder cane growth and stall planting and harvest efforts.
Viator said 2014's especially cold start hurt cane farmers in the southeast and northern cane-growing regions of Louisiana.
Farmers in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes suffered from freezes in January and February, and cane farmers in Avoyelles and south Rapides parishes were hit even worse. But in the south-central swath of Louisiana where he farms, cane producers fared better, Viator said.
Ben Legendre, head of the LSU AgCenter's Audubon Sugar Institute, said mills have estimated 12.5 million tons of cane will be harvested in Louisiana this year. That compares to 14 million tons in 2013. Legendre said farmers scaled back their efforts because of low prices and cold weather.
"They either plowed (the acreage) out, planted soybeans or something else," Legendre said.
Delayed planting and stilted crop maturity also led Louisiana's 11 sugar mills to open later this year. Though all the mills are usually open and grinding cane by this time, this past Thursday a mill in Pointe Coupee Parish near New Roads and one in the Iberville Parish town of White Castle were the first to begin operations. The remaining nine will open from now to mid-October, Legendre said.
This year's crop will be respectable, though not as bountiful as 2013, when production almost eclipsed the banner 2012 year.
Legendre said farmers should expect up to 33 tons of sugar cane per acre, compared to 2013's 32 to 36 tons an acre.
The 2014 crop's sugar content — how much actual raw sugar is squeezed from each stalk — is anyone's guess. In 2013, each acre of cane produced 221 pounds of sugar; in 2012, it was 230 pounds.
"If the season develops and we have dry weather in October and November, we could conceivably see some sugar levels approach last year's crop," Legendre said.
Sugar subsidies
The American Sugar Cane League's Simon bristles when asked about the U.S. government propping up sugar prices with taxpayer money, then quickly releases justifications.
He's heard it before from the laissez-faire crowd, who argue government intervening in free markets is destructive and hurts the economy in the long run.
"The basis of our argument is we're ready to compete against every foreign sugar cane farmer or sugar beet grower in the world," Simon said. "But we can't compete with that grower and their government."
In August, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced it would impose an import duty on sugar from Mexico until it completes an investigation into Mexican government subsidies to its farmers and mills.
"The (Department of Commerce's) finding validates our claim that the flood of Mexican sugar, which is harming America's sugar producers and workers, is subsidized by the Mexican government," American Sugar Alliance spokesman Phillip Hayes said in August. Hayes said the Commerce Department would issue a more detailed ruling sometime this fall.
Simon said American sugar producers need the price supports their government provides just to break even, at best. He said sugar growers want fair competition, which is not possible now.
"We would have to unilaterally disarm to do that. ... It would run us out of business," Simon said.

What do I do with those ghastly cockroaches?
Elimination of cockroaches is best accomplished by using a professional exterminator. However, this is only the first step. After the cockroaches have been eliminated, the areas they inhabited must be thoroughly cleaned since their residual debris is highly allergenic. Entry points should be sealed to prevent re-infestation. Use covered trash bins and empty then frequently. Do not store cardboard boxes, newspapers, grocery bags, or empty cans and bottles in your home as they can serve as breeding areas.
