July 2, 2013
Today, the Snohomish County Council announced that they have appointed Ty Trenary as the next Sheriff. The unanimous 5-0 vote places Trenary in the Sheriff's Office top position, vacated by John Lovick when he resigned June 3 to accept the position of County Executive.
The 47 year-old Trenary has served the citizens of Washington State as a police officer for over 25 years. He started his law enforcement career in Eatonville where he also served as a D.A.R.E. officer until joining the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office in 1991.
In the Sheriff's Office, Trenary has worked his way up from master patrol deputy to captain, where he most recently served as the leader of the North Precinct. He served as the contract police chief in the City of Stanwood from 2008-12 and has held leadership positions on the Deputy Sheriff's Association and Management Team Association. Trenary has served in patrol, community policing, and has also worked in administration by managing the training unit and assisting with recruiting and hiring.
The proud father of two daughters, Trenary is married to his wife, Vicki, who is an elementary school teacher in the Marysville School District. Ty and Vicki have made Snohomish County their home for over 20 years.
"I believe that Snohomish County is an excellent place to raise a family and I want to focus on the feeling of safety in our community," he said. "Dedication to excellence and community partnerships are key to the success of our organization."

Ebony Jointer: The Lingerie, Football Playing Pastby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Simon Cowell wasn't the first man to be wowed by Ebony Jointer.
It turns out that Jointer, 23, was a member of a Lingerie Football League team, the Chicago Bliss, that competed in the Lingerie Bowl, the pay-per-view flesh football contest that aired during halftime shows, according to RealityTVMagazine.com.
Her other career highlights include a turn as "Bikini Model #5" in the movie Pauly Shore Is Dead. She is also credited on an Internet modeling site with having been on America's Next Top Model, though not as a contestant.
It's not exactly the background of Tami Gosnell - but variety makes the competition!

Right now the Alliance staff is hard at work developing the workshop content for the 2014 National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness this February 18 and 19. As the Alliance's Director of Meetings and Events, though, I don't plan the workshop content. I'm responsible for planning the event itself.
It's my job to ensure conference content is presented in the most appropriate settings, with the most appropriate food, the best audio/visual setup, and so on. Before a conference there are a lot of details that need to be ironed out, which is why I recently visited the venue in New Orleans, where the conference will be taking place.

Did you know that on any given night, 62,619 U.S. veterans are homeless? Veterans make up 7 percent of the general population, but they make up almost 10 percent of the entire homeless population, and they make up a disproportionate percentage of those who are chronically homeless (people who spend years on the streets because of physical disability, mental illness, or addiction).
That's why the Alliance has partnered with The Home Depot Foundation for The Never Another Homeless Veteran education campaign. It's a two-year effort by the Alliance and its partners to build and leverage public support to end veteran homelessness. If you're friends with a veteran, if you have a veteran in your family, if you're a veteran yourself, or if you care about ending veteran homelessness (and honestly, who doesn't fall into at least one of those categories?) you can join the thousands who have already signed on to the campaign by adding your name to the Never Another Homeless Veteran statement.
Tomorrow is a big day in the state of Virginia. October 17, 2013 marks the launch the Virginia Rapid Re-Housing Challenge, the second phase of the Alliance's learning collaborative initiative. In this challenge, 31 Virginia organizations have committed to rapidly rehousing more families for the next 100 days.
Since May, these organizations have been meeting in seven Virginia Learning Collaboratives to work toward the goal of build capacity in their rapid re-housing programs. In other words: they've been trying to figure out how they can help even more homeless families than they already do.
One of the Alliance's most popular blog items last year was a guest post by Paul GionFriddo. He shared how our mental health system failed his son, who struggles with mental illness and chronic homelessness. The blogger has written eloquently about his family's experience, with the added insights of a former state legislator who voted, in the past, on policies that he would later see were missing the mark.
"Many years ago, we emptied our state psychiatric institutions for good reasons. They were monuments to neglect or abuse. But when we emptied them, we failed to put in place the community-based service delivery system we needed."
Appropriate housing options, a critical part of the service system, are often lacking. This and other flaws in the system persist, holding communities back from ending homelessness -- with dire consequences for the most vulnerable people who face the greatest risks.
Last month, nearly 1,600 people traveled from all over the country to Washington, DC for the Alliance's National Conference on Ending Homelessness. That's already pretty big news, but what's more is that approximately one-in-four of those registrants participated in Capitol Hill Day. A wide array of key stakeholders on homelessness visited their Members of Congress on Capitol Hill to update them on local progress in ending homelessness and to urge them to make providing sufficient funding for homeless assistance programs a federal priority.
Based on our State Captains' report backs from more than 300 meetings (which, in case you were wondering, is a record!) we've compiled a 2013 Capitol Hill Day Report and Summary. The report highlights the major successes of this year's Capitol Hill Day. For starters, more than 415 participants (what's that? You guessed it: it's another record!) went on more than 300 meetings.
So, the conference has come and gone! Being on the staff side of the conference keeps you busy, but as a capacity builder, it's so important that I try to soak up as much as I can and apply it to my own daily work. I spend the weeks after the conference thinking about how to move forward with the new information I've gathered. Today, I thought I'd share with you some of the things I learned in the hopes that it will help you with your daily work as well.
The Alliance's National Conference has come and gone, but the learning opportunities live on. Today I was reflecting on the workshop sessions I planned and thought I'd pull out one of my favorites for all of you: Emerging Research on Rapid Re-Housing.
Some of the questions I get asked most frequently are: "why should be we be focused on rapid re-housing?" or "how do we even know rapid re-housing works?"
Rapid re-housing has been around for a while now, but it takes time to measure outcomes, especially outcomes with regards to returns to homelessness. This was the first year that we had enough research on rapid re-housing to dedicate an entire workshop to it. And, what the researchers found is very promising.
It has been two weeks since our 2013 National Conference on Ending Homelessness in Washington, D.C, and we at the Alliance have been devoting some of our time and our blog to the themes and content our speakers presented. With 1,600 attendees and three days of workshops and activities, it's not that surprising that we aren't the only ones.
Believe it or not, we are on track to end veteran homelessness in the United States. Here's how it's playing out. We currently have the resources in place at a scale to serve all the homeless veterans that are out there, and prevent new ones from becoming homeless. We must use these resources as effectively and as efficiently as possible. Old systems like the Grant Per Diem program will need to be re-vamped as new programs come on line. And we will need to target new programs properly to ensure their effectiveness.
As I talked about in my presentation 2013 National Conference last month, the goal now is to make sure that the veterans who need these resources reveice level of services. With new initiatives by the Department of Veterans Affairs (V)A, we can expect improved coordination between Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs and VA programs, communities, and VA Medical Centers. Improved coordination will help us better identify homeless and at-risk veterans and ensure that they find the right program to fit their needs.
There are not enough beds for the number of homeless youth in this country. I'd like that statement to stand on its own for a moment: there are not enough beds for homeless youth in this country.
If they are lucky, a homeless youth gets a shelter bed or sleeps on a friend or family member's couch. If they are unlucky, they sleep on the streets, in cars, in abandoned buildings; they may ride public transit all night; or they may barter sex for a place to stay. The important point here is: every night, homeless youth are turned away from shelter and housing programs because of a lack of capacity.
There are a couple of ways to solve this problem—or at least begin to address it.
Capitol Hill Day 2013 was another record-breaking year! We had over 300 meetings this year. This thread offers a glimpse at some of the meetings and people that headed to the Hill to make a stand on ending homelessness in America!
I have a particular interest in helping people and seeing that our society is fair. That being said, I joined the Alliance under the presumption that homelessness wasn't a major issue among our veterans. I was wrong, more wrong than I was at first willing to admit.
The Alliance opened my eyes in mere days at their 2013 National Conference on Ending Homelessness, where I had the opportunity to meet with advocates and officials and learn from 1,600 people from around the country who are working every day to end homelessness. I gained an understanding of veteran homelessness that prepared me to be part of their effort.
Well, the conference is done, and we are all back in the office, enjoying the quiet after all the excitement. We saw a lot of old friends and made a lot of new ones, and we learned a lot. To all of you who attended and shared your knowledge and expertise, we thank you. The conference wouldn't have been a success without your participation.
We asked you guys to keep the conversation alive on Twitter using #naeh13 and were overwhelmed by the response. Thank you! There were way too many Tweets to include them all here, so I'm providing just a small cross-section of the #naeh13 Tweets that went out. I was going for a good mix of funny, inspirational, and informative.
Two more days to go! With such a wide variety of workshop topics and knowledgeable speakers, it's hard to choose where to spend your time. Here are a couple things today that you should be sure not to miss.
Photo campaign- If you didn't get a chance to send your pictures to us yesterday, it's not too late! The winner of a free ticket to the International Spy Museum Spy City Tour will be announced today at 1pm via our social media sites. If you haven't already, take a picture of yourself in your Alliance t-shirt and share it with us on Facebook, Twitter, or firstname.lastname@example.com. Then stay tuned at 1 p.m. to see if you won!
This morning kicks off the beginning of our National Conference on Ending Homelessness 2013! Things are already in full swing here in D.C.—participants are registered, speakers are prepped, and workshops are getting under way. Here's what you have to look forward to today, whether you're attending the conference or following us from a far.
Photo campaign: We're bringing back our photo campaign with an exciting addition. The winner will receive a FREE ticket to the International Spy Museum Spy City Tour, which will be held Tuesday evening. Simply take a picture of you in your Alliance t-shirt and post it on our Facebook wall, tweet it at us, or email it to email@example.com. If you haven't purchased your Alliance t-shirt yet, don't worry! Shirts will be sold next to the registration table throughout the conference.
Did you know that Facebook has functional hashtags now? Facebook added hashtag support back in June, just in time for our 2013 National Conference. Our conference hashtag, as you may already know, is #NAEH13 – click on that and you'll see that people are already using it on Twitter. As of right now, we're the only people to use it on Facebook.
This is the last blog post we will be publishing before the conference begins on Monday, so I just want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that during the conference the Alliance staff will be live-tweeting, and posting stuff on Facebook, and we want you to…too. Don't forget to use #NAEH13 (on both Facebook and Twitter) to be part of the conversation!
As many of you may already be aware, our 2013 National Conference on Ending homelessness is coming up, and we will be screening not one, but two documentaries during it. You may have already heard of one of them, "The Invisible War." I've blogged about it before, and it's already opened in limited release. You probably haven't heard of the other film we'll be screening yet, @home, but you might have heard of the man it's about, social media advocate for the homeless Mark Horvath of Invisible People. If you're attending the conference, don't miss the screening on Monday, July 22, at 8 p.m. I recently spoke with Susanne Suffredin, the the director of the documentary, about the upcoming screening, the difficulty of making a documentary about homelessness, and about Horvath's multimedia brand of advocacy.
As you probably already know the Alliance is holding its very popular (it sold out early) National Conference in a couple of weeks. There will be a veterans track, generously sponsored by the Home Depot Foundation. What you may not know is that we will also be holding a veteran preconference session ("pre-con") as well.
This pre-con session will be focused on partnerships between communities and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). As part of its commitment to the five year plan to end homelessness (Opening Doors), VA has identified community partnerships as a key strategy to ending veteran homelessness.
During the session, we're going to talk about where we are in the fight to end veteran homelessness, as well as where we're headed, and what we need to do. We're going to showcase what's working, but we will also identify where more work needs to be done in regards to community partnerships with VA.
Health care reform offers real help to many people experiencing homelessness, especially in states that take full advantage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Those we call chronically homeless – with disabilities and long histories of instability – have perhaps the most to gain.
That's why the Alliance will be holding a half-day pre-conference session exploring how health care reform is taking shape in in Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Portland on Monday, July 22, the first day of our 2013 National Conference on Ending Homelessness. We're calling the session, "Changing the Terms: How Communities are Leveraging Health Care for PSH Capacity."
Sponsored by the Alliance, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, and 100,000 Homes, the pre-conference will be offered at no additional charge. However, pre-registration is recommended. For more information, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
With today's guest blog post, we'd like to take a moment to introduce you to the great interns who are working in our DC office this summer. If you're going to the 2013 National Conference on Ending Family Homelessness this July, you'll probably get a chance to meet them in person. For now, though, here they are in blog form (and in their own words.)

Virco Announces Second Quarter Results
TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virco Mfg. Corporation (Nasdaq:VIRC) today announced second quarter results in the following letter to stockholders from Robert A. Virtue, President and CEO:
The uneven recovery of our core K-12 furniture business continued during the second quarter of 2013. Despite this continued volatility, we were able to generate profits during this quarter. We believe this is largely a result of the operational flexibility we have achieved due to our restructuring efforts over the past several years.
Revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2013 declined 5.7% from $60,392,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2012 to $56,933,000 this year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was flat at 37.9% for the three months ended July 31, 2013 and the comparable period last year. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, revenues declined 8.6% from $84,060,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2012 to $76,823,000 this year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales improved in the first half of fiscal 2013, from 35.5% in the first half of fiscal 2012 to 36.4% this year. We believe this improvement is attributable to the efficiencies resulting from our recent restructurings, including from our employee headcount reductions in May 2013.To further illustrate the volatility we are facing, order rates for the first three months of 2013 were 24.1% below the comparable period last year. However, in the second quarter, order rates improved and ended 5.6% higher than the comparable period in 2012. Given the heavy seasonality of our annual cycle, this strong uptick resulted in a higher backlog heading into the summer of 2013 than the summer of 2012. As a result, our backlog at July 31, 2013 was 11.5% higher than at July 31, 2012. As of the date of this release, daily order rates are still trending slightly ahead of 2012, giving us some hope that we might make up the early season revenue shortfall by year end.

Review: Dungeons and Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara
by Jonathan Holmes
Part of the appeal of Dungeons and Dragons (the table top RPG) is that it takes you out of the modern day of 24 hour news cycles and constant connection to everyone everywhere through multiple simultaneous internet portals. It takes you to a place of pen, paper, monsters and real human to human socialization. Appropriately enough, Capcom's re-release of these two Dungeons and Dragons games also work to take you back to bygone era -- the arcade era, a time that was also focused on the tactile and "irl" interactions.
Though there are plenty of coin gobbling design choices here that simply don't make sense for today's consoles, they still offer some of the best opportunities possible to escape into the medieval world of the 90s.view full story + comments
Neverwinter out on June 20, first expansion revealed
by Joshua Derocher
You should go play Neverwinter -- it's awesome. Right now it's in open beta, but on June 20 it will be officially released. Part of this release includes a new end-game area that will combine "PvE, PvP and dungeon delving into one epic gameplay experience," which sounds completely amazing. Launch day will also feature a big patch addressing tons of balancing issues found during the beta period.
The first expansion, called Fury of the Feywild will come out this summer. All we officially know about it is right on that page. It's going to be green, have glowing trees, and Sharandar will be under siege. It's not much of an announcement, but it is comforting to know that new content will be coming out quickly after release.view full story + comments

There are a lot of massively-multiplayer online games on the market today, many of which are still very similar to World of Warcraft. While the graphics, setting, and characters may change, the core gameplay often feels the same. Hotkeys and a screen full of action bars have become the normal way to play MMOs, but there are a few games like TERA that have tried to break away and bring more action into the mix. TERA did a pretty good job with the action, but the setting and quest design was too generic and most people found it to be lackluster.
Cryptic is stepping into the "action-MMO" space with Neverwinter, which is somewhat of a follow-up to the classic Neverwinter Nights series. Based on the popular Forgotten Realms setting from Dungeons & Dragons and the Fourth Edition ruleset, this has the potential to be an interesting free-to-play title. I had the chance to jump into an early beta event with the developers and run a quick raid, and from what I have seen so far, this one might be able to deliver some good times.view full story + comments
Review: Crimson Shroud
by Chris Carter
The Guild01 collection is a very special project that I'm glad we could be a part of. Although the last game in the set isn't slated for a release out of Japan, the mere fact that Level-5 decided to take a chance with any of them is good enough for me.
Crimson Shroud signifies the end of the western releases of Guild01, so its release is bittersweet. Thankfully, it's also the strongest game in the package, and one of the most unique games on the 3DS eShop right now.

Lawmakers Asked To Raise Taxes To Fix NM Budget
ANGEL FIRE, N.M. (AP) ¿ Social services advocates and a labor union representing government workers are urging New Mexico legislators to consider raising taxes to help solve a looming state budget deficit.
Bill Jordan, policy director of New Mexico Voices for Children, told the Legislative Finance Committee on Thursday that lawmakers should not rely exclusively on spending cuts to fix budget problems. That will hurt public education and services for the needy who are struggling during the recession, he said.
Jordan's comments came a day before lawmakers receive a new financial forecast expected to show that revenues will be more than $400 million below what had been anticipated in the current fiscal year.Legislators will meet in a special session this fall, probably in October, to balance the budget. Among the options for lawmakers are spending cuts, tax increases and scrapping previously approved capital improvement projects. Several committee members said it's unlikely that tax increases will be considered during the special session. However, they said lawmakers could be forced to look at raising revenues in the future because New Mexico's budget problems likely will continue into the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years unless the economy rebounds dramatically. The current 2010 budget year started in July.

4.0 out of 5 stars God and the devil in the details,
Dennis Grace (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
Kim Stanley Robinson does a masterful job of realizing a diverse array of characters, not the least of which is the planet itself. I found Ann and Frank exasperating, John and Nadia at times exhilirating and something of a disappointment, Sax and Hiroko equally inscrutable, and Maya making me wish someone would just slap her. I am astonished that anyone can keep track of so many personnae and keep their voices distinct.
Equally, I am astonished by Robinson's command of geology, meteorology, thermodynamics, and even economics. The details read well and ring true. For years, I wondered why no one had covered this sort of project in detail: terraformation, colonization, expansion. Most writers seem satisfied to take these things as read. Robinson shows what a great literary work a little delving (okay, a whole lot of delving) can produce.
On the down side, the details occasionally get in his way. In particular, I found three details more than a little discomfiting.
First, in the personna of Michel, Robinson outlines his personal psychometry of personalities. In doing so, he provides both an oversimplification of human character and an unwelcome glimpse at Robinson's methodology for building characters. Like sausage-making and legislation, perhaps this process would have been better left unexamined.
Second, I think the abundance of water in the substrate of Robinson's Mars is more than a tad optimistic. I realize that having to bring in water ice from the asteroid belt and Saturn's rings would have slowed the development quite a bit, but considering what a wealth of story Robinson typically finds in the details, I think this obstacle would have made for even more excellent writing opportunities.
Third, in a move that appears nothing more than a technique to allow character continuity, Robinson introduces the deus ex machina of a revolutionary new genetic longevity treatment. With no foreshadowing or side-plot leading to it, the main characters suddenly have a chance to live for a thousand years. My, how convenient. This device left he second guessing the author's motives through the rest of the series. I love the books, but I don't think this was a necessary addition. As the principal plotline of this first book readily demonstrates, key characters can die without compromising the story.
5.0 out of 5 stars Mars is Red - but not for long,
Phome "phome" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
Robinson's "Red Mars" is a comprehensive and complete book on man's colonization of Mars. It is full of scientific, political and economic consequences of human settlement on Mars, and arguments from both sides are presented in detail through the opposing perspectives of different characters within the book. In addition, the book is full of symbolism, such as the "elevator" that is built, only to be pulled down by the hands of the revolution destroying much of the Martian surface and dispersing humans in a manner that made me think of the Tower of Babel.
The story begins on a spaceship of the "first hundred" people that are off to begin life on Mars. All of them are scientists, which of course makes for a less than complete representation of human kind, although full of intellectualism and nutty personalities. The mission is meant to be representative of the world's nationalities, dominated by American and Russian teams. Each group of scientists have their own tasks, whether it is flying the space craft, cultivating food, construction once on Mars, ecologists to study Mars, terraformers, biologists, physicists, and even a psychologist.
The 8 month journey to Mars is enough to drive some people crazy, and Maya, the Russian leader thinks that she is hallucinating when she unwittingly spots a man whom she does not know onboard the spacecraft. People develop relationships and hatreds, and their true personalities start to come out after hiding most of their peculiarities from the selection committee to be able to go to Mars.
Robinson follows different characters for each part of the book, and this makes it a more interesting and in-depth read, as we get different viewpoints on how the people see Mars and what they want from the planet. Some, like Ann, oppose its terraforming, whilst others, such as Sax, can think of nothing but. Hiroko suddenly disappears with a small group of the first hundred and no-one can find them. John and Frank hit heads about how the planet should be run, and one day John is murdered - a shock to everyone.
Politics starts to play an important role as the first hundred decide they will do whatever they want on Mars rather than be controlled by Earth. They are free. Only, they really aren't. Before they know it, waves of immigrants from Earth, sponsored by transnational corporations begin to live on the planet. But Mars is not its own nation and does not have a cohesive political or police structure. Problems quickly rise to a peak and the first hundred realise they are no longer in control.
A revolution begins and is chaotic and uncontrollable. Infrastructure collapses as it is sabotaged. Finally, Nadia the engineer, after finding out that her lover Arkady who began the revolution has been killed by it, decides that enough is enough and she blows up Phobos in an attempt to stop Earth and transnational control and interference. The first hundred realise that they will be seen as ringleaders of the revolution and that they must escape - will they be rescued by Hiroko's detachment?
The book is so complete and full of facts that it is a must for anyone with a passion for Mars and science. It is also a must for those that would think to colonize Mars in the future - as a guide of how not to do it.
A very realistic perspective, well thought out, and a foresight of consequences that gives me goose bumps.

Kim Stanley Robinson does incredible work in this magnificent story of the colonization of Mars. The way he describes the many opinions of the characters in Red Mars is extremely well thought-out. His research is obviously very professional and the scientific information seems absolutely true.
I liked the way he used sections and chapters; the sections would be the only ones with titles and they would begin with italicized thoughts or stories of "Big Man," or the discovery of the alchemist's most desired breakthrough. And each section would be from the point of view of an individual character. The sections have chapters but they don't have titles, and this type of format provides very enjoyable reading, because the ideas clearly help me process the story.
And yet, as I read deeper into the book, I also read deeper into his mind: and what I found I did not like. Throughout the book, the intimacy of the characters is more and more revealed, but actions of the characters are not necessary to portray the beauty and the grandeur of the story of Mars that Robinson so passionately portrays. If only he refrained from this, I would have enjoyed it immensely more.
2.0 out of 5 stars Plodding and tedious,
Amazon Customer (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Kim Stanley Robinson has done his homework. He knows all about atompsheric partial pressures and soil ecology. He knows how to convey information via the written word competently. He knows not the first thing about people or fiction writing, though, and that's unfortunate. The Mars "trilogy" is a single boring, shapeless mass of words. The characters are laughably two-dimensional symbols, avatars for ideas or concepts -- they're not people. If they were, you wouldn't want to know them.
And they talk. They talk and talk and talk. They argue and argue. They talk about terraforming, they talk about politics, they talk about each other, in an endless cycle of debates, meetings, conventions, committees, assemblies, conclaves and arguments. Robinson has invented a kind of Model UN, he has worked to draw charts of manufactured political factions boring each other to death in interminable meetings. It is not interesting. It was not worthwhile to expend this effort towards such a boring end.
What is most depressing is not the boring storyline, the endless loops of the same argument, the stupid and contemptible behaviour of many of the characters, but Robinson's contempt for the English language. English, to him, is just a tool; a means of expressing information. If he could write fiction in equations he would. He ends sentences with "etc., etc." and tells us about his characters' lavatorial habits. He shows not a shred of joy, of affinity for his medium. There is no structure; "Red Mars", "Green Mars" and "Blue Mars" are all the same book. That this deathless, humorless prose is used to trace out a saga of such incomprehensible tedium is unforgiveable. Only the bland competence of the whole endeavor rescues it from complete failure; and even then Robinson has missed things: the SI unit of pressure is the Pascal, not the Bar, and that Kelvins don't come in degrees.
4.0 out of 5 stars great first book for a sci fi trilogy,
Steffanie (Kent, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This is one of the better science fiction books I've read in quite awhile. I originally read the first two novels a few years back.
One of the things I love about this book is how much of the Mars geography and geology the author details. The plot line is very good, giving a lot of characters to follow but not jumping around too much until the reader is ready. I also like how it starts out with the assasination of one of the main characters, going into a sort of mystery novel type of thing before spending most of the rest of the book retracing the history of the settlers and Mars up to that point in time.
The second novel is quite good as well, taking off where the first book ends and spending a lot of time with some of the more extremist characters and their activities against the Mars government. The third novel seems to lose the driving plot the other two books have, and admittedly, I've never finished it, so I can't comment on whether Robinson pulls it together in the end in a satisfactory way.
Basically, if you like epic sci fi with lots of solid scientific description strewn through out, then this series is for you or at least the first two novels.
4.0 out of 5 stars First instalment of a modern science fiction epic,
JW "dixiedean2003" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
The future history of Mars. The story begins with the "first hundred" Mars settlers and their struggle to colonise a new world. Differences soon appear amongst them regarding their future course on the planet while relations with Earth also start to come under strain. The novel ends with revolution, as the colonists attempt to seize control of their own destiny.
Red Mars and its two sequels deserve their status among science fiction's literary achievements. The scope and depth of Mr Robinson's research is breathtaking. His descriptions of Mars will almost certainly convince you that he has somehow actually visited the planet. His account of how the initial colonisation of the planet would happen is plausible and realistic on so many levels, with interesting theories on how a Martian colony would develop sociologically, politically, economically and so on.
I did enjoy reading this first instalment of the trilogy and was able to take it on its own merits, however I have to say it will not be to every taste. The plot is slow moving, the characters are essentially of the stock variety and the lengthy passages on Martian geology will turn off the majority of people. For this reason, Red Mars will mainly appeal to hard core sci-fi fans only.
5.0 out of 5 stars Red Mars,
not4prophet (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
The colonization of the Solar System has been a big topic in science fiction for decades, and yet no book on the subject has met with as much success as Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series. The explanation is simple. When writing these books, Robinson went to great lengths to include every aspect of how human life would change on another planet. When describing the first manned mission to Mars and the experience of the "First Hundred" settlers, he looks in depth at all sorts of topics ranging from psychology (How would it feel to be constantly faced by a planet that appeared completely different from Earth?) to the politics of terraforming (Would everybody agree to plans to introduce life and create a biosphere on Mars, or would some people resist?) Robinson displays solid scientific knowledge in an incredible array of fields, and carefully weaves descriptions of the scientific progress that gets made into the story of the settlers' efforts to colonize the planet.
One of the best facets of "Red Mars" is the incredible description of the landscapes of Mars. Robinson gives a lot of thought to the topic of what the planet would actually look like to explorers standing on it from ground level. These sequences help set this book apart from other efforts where the planet is simply described as being red and rocky and left at that. When reading these descriptions, you can't help but share the belief of some of the characters that Mar's desolate terrain has its very own form of beauty. Of particular note are the landscapes during one character's voyage to the polar ice cap near the start of "Red Mars", and when a group of characters are navigating a dangerous canyon near the book's conclusion. Robinson also makes good use of the unique elements of geology and weather on Mars. For instance, when there's a gigantic dust storm on the planet, he gives convincing portrayals not just of the storm itself, but also of the depressing and claustrophobic effect that it has on the settlers when they aren't able to see more than a few feet when outdoors.
The story is told from the perspective of several different characters, each of them being the center of attention for about fifty pages. Some critics have complained about the quality of characterization in Robinson's books. It's definitely true that they don't have the same complexity as characters should have in true literature. However, they are satisfactory for telling the story that the author wants to tell. When two people have a discussion or argument in "Red Mars", it actually sounds genuine and convincing, and there are some interesting looks at how differences in policy and worldview affect the relationship between characters.
As a conclusion, let me say something in response to those reviewers who insist on judging the book by the author's politics rather than by the content of the book itself. "Red Mars" contains some amount of political and social commentary, although it occupies only a fairly small portion of the six hundred page work. For instance, there's a brief section where one character must resolve a dispute between business leaders and laborers who are upset about their living conditions on Mars. Well, this is just another example of what I mentioned earlier, which is that Robinson carefully considered every aspect of what conditions would be like for early settlers on another planet, and his explanation of the situation struck me as being very realistic. In Robinson's vision of the future, gigantic corporations work to undermine and supplant national governments on Earth as well as to control Mars; some have complained that this is unrealistic. But those of us who keep up with world events know that we're already starting to see the beginning of such a trend right now, so there''s nothing unreasonable about predicting that it will continue in the future.
5.0 out of 5 stars The "Mars Series" is great for the teenage male in your life,
book_review_grrl "book_review_grrl" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
The three books in Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars Trilogy" are my absolute all-time-favorites. He is truly gifted at writing about advanced science and technology and equally adept at creating "real" characters, because he understands psychology. This is a rare talent: to be scientifically knowledgable and a master at creating believable characters. The books are part action, part scientific explanation (like Michael Crichton of Jurassic Park fame), and part character development.
In "Red Mars" (the first in the series) Robinson paints a totally believable picture of what our future might be like as we get ready to explore and colonize Mars. Mega-corporations, earthly power struggles, and the selection process for determining who might get to be the first to go to Mars, are all very possible and Robinson crafts a story around these topics with ease.
In the second book, "Green Mars," Robinson portrays the struggle to get vegetation growing and to create a breathable atmosphere. He also describes more political struggles between those on Earth and those on Mars. This was probably my favorite of the three, but mainly because I am more interested in the science that would be needed in this phase of colonization.
In the third book, "Blue Mars," the planet become more Earth-like. The atmosphere is more developed, water travel becomes possible, and more. (I don't want to give it all away!)
The books can be kind of scholarly at times, but I was so impressed with these books that I gave them to my teenage brother. He was so impressed with them, that he gave them to one of his very best pals. And we all had a blast discussing them together. If there is a teenage male in your life -- or if you love sci-fi and have always wondered what it might be like to go to Mars -- then this trilogy is definitely for you. Very highly recommended!
2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of info, but writing could use some terraforming,
Steve Jones (Stockbridge, GA United States) - See all my reviews
The author's breadth of knowledge in science and political theory is impressive, to be sure. Years of research evidently went into this book. But often it seemed he was straining to showcase just how much he knows. The psychiatrist's long esoterica on human temperaments is a case in point -- dry as the Martian soil and entirely gratuitous. (Where was the editor with scissors?)
Initially, I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the topography and the explanations of how people built the first colony. Beyond the book's halfway point, I was saturated with it -- too much of a good thing. Getting through the last third of the book was a struggle (a coherent plot might have helped here). That disappointed me, because the beginning was engaging.
The characters turned out to be caricatures, not people. How many times could the ultra-grouchy Frank say "shut up" or "you idiot"? And Maya, the Russian beauty with the angst of a note-passing high school sophomore -- what space program let her in?? Then there was the flaky cult leader, and the rigid environmentalist ever flashing righteous scowls. It's an annoying, exaggerated cast of characters with only a few exceptions.
Also irritating was the insertion of the author's political dogmas, which revealed corporations and free-market types as predictably evil, bent on destroying the planet (just as they do on Earth, curse them all). The collectivists, of course, were the ones we were all supposed to cheer.
But OK, lots of it was interesting. The space elevator, terraforming ideas, survival on a hostile world. The author managed to stoke my imagination several times. He proved an able wordsmith, displaying flashes of brilliance at times. But the editors really let him down, I'm afraid. Several hundred pages needed to go and didn't.
Still, for those who like science and believable ideas about interplanetary travel, the book may be worth plodding through in your Martian rover.
3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting premise, but too much technical detail.,
I found Red Mars to be a very slow read, but surprisingly enjoyable. The story, although bogged down with infinite technical detail (most of which wasn't properly explained), was at its heart a story about people - their hardships and triumphs, their emotions and their conflicts with one another.
I really disliked the overwhelming amount of technical detail. There was too much of it...most of the time it was hard to continue reading, and I found myself wanting to skip ahead. I also found it hard to like many of the characters. I had a couple of favorites, but that's about it. I didn't care what happened to the rest at all. At times, I found myself in awe of the way Robinson writes. He has a particular talent for describing things. Unfortunately, it's this same talent that often leads to long, drawn out descriptions that I often found to be unnecessary.
It's clear that the plot was very well thought out from the beginning. The idea of colonizing Mars is brought to life in such vivid detail, that's it's hard to come back to reality at times. The story line progressed nicely, although the time frame was somewhat confusing for me. I wasn't quite sure how many weeks/months/years had passed between chapters, or even sections of the same chapter.
Overall, not a bad book, and in fact, I plan on reading Green Mars and Blue Mars down the road... but after Red Mars, some light reading is in order.

He has an MEng in Bioengineering from Imperial College London, with the first two years spent taking engineering and medical science courses in the Bioengineering Department, and the third year in the Electrical Engineering Department. His final undergraduate year was spent abroad at University of California, Berkeley, where he worked with Prof Luke Lee in the Bioengineering Department and took classes in BioMEMS, microfluidics, robotics, and molecular biomechanics.
Interactions between fungi and prokaryotes are abundant in many ecological systems. A wide variety of biomolecules regulate such interactions and many of them have found medicinal or biotechnological applications. However, studying a fungal-bacterial system at a cellular level is technically challenging. New microfluidic devices provided a platform for microscopic studies and for long-term, time-lapse experiments. Application of these novel tools revealed insights into in the dynamic interactions between the basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea and Bacillus subtilis. Direct contact was mediated by polar attachment of bacteria to only a subset of fungal hyphae suggesting a differential competence of fungal hyphae and thus differentiation of hyphae within a mycelium. The fungicidal activity of Bacillus subtilis was monitored at a cellular level and showed a novel mode of action on fungal hyphae.
A continuous flow method for the suspension of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) lipids in oil using a microfluidic platform is presented. The system consists of a microfluidic device housing a semipermeable membrane, a vacuum pump, and a syringe pump. Separation is achieved using a counter current flow of chloroform and a lipid containing oil stream, driven by the syringe pump and vacuum. Using such a system, a high efficiency extraction method was realized through the use of a semipermeable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane on an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) support. For a liquid flow rate of 5 μL/min, an air flow rate of 100 mL/min, and initial chloroform concentrations between 0.245 and 1.619 M, extraction rates of 93.5% to 97.9% and a retentate stream purity of between 99.79% and 99.29% were achieved.
We present a novel connector that allows for easy handling and injection of sample volumes between 1 and 20 μl. All tubing connections between external pumps and the microfluidic device are established before the sample is introduced into a sealable reservoir built into the connector. This approach allows for multiple injections of small sample volumes without the need to dismantle the chip-tubing assembly. We demonstrate that the connector reservoir seal can withstand pressures of up to 6 bar, that opening or closing the reservoir does not dislocate the sample by more than 35 nl, and that the connector can be used for injecting samples into both miscible and immiscible carrier fluids.
Liposome structures have a wide range of applications in biology, biochemistry, and biophysics. As a result, several methods for forming liposomes have been developed. This review provides a critical comparison of existing microfluidic technologies for forming liposomes and, when applicable, a comparison with their analogous macroscale counterparts. The properties of the generated liposomes, including size, size distribution, lamellarity, membrane composition, and encapsulation efficiency, form the basis for comparison. We hope that this critique will allow the reader to make an informed decision as to which method should be used for a given biological application.
Urinary catheters are the major source of hospital infections worldwide and the second most common cause for bloodstream infections. Biofilm formation begins by the initial adherence of bacteria to the catheter surface that build a polysaccharide matrix. The internal communication is based on quorum sensing, involving small signaling molecules such as acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL). As part of the 2007 iGEM competition, we combined the principles of synthetic biology and the engineering cycle to produce 'Infector Detector'. The design of this DNA construct, based on the MIT Biobrick Registry part F2620, consists of 2 main elements. The first is a constitutive Tet promoter, generating transcription factor LuxR. This binds to AHL, from the biofilm, providing the input of our biosensor system. The resulting AHL-LuxR complex activates the second part, a Lux promoter generating a fluorescent signal in the form of GFPmut3b, giving a detectable output. To avoid bacterial exposure in the clinical scenario, the biobrick was incorporated in an S30 E.Coli cell extract chassis - an in vitro transcription/translation system - as opposed to commonly used E.Coli chassis.

Pituitary Tumor
I am going over a referral my Dr. sent me a copy of. I'm trying to understand a few things. It says, "Diagnosed January 2012....MR showed 5x6x7 mm pituitary tumor. MR scan in August 2012 was stable showing abnormal enhancement surrounding the pituitary left greater than the right, measuring .8 superior-inferior by .8 AP dimension." What is abnormal enhancement and is this suggesting the tumor has grown or am I misunderstanding the measurement from August?
Thanks much!

Your doctor is not skilled in treating pituitary lesions/tumors.
An MRI has some use - but only tells the size. Once it was discovered you should have been sent to a neuro-endocrinologist at a pituitary center so that you would have gotten the series of testing to determine the type of tumor. Just knowing *pituitary tumor* is not very useful - you need to know what type of tumor so you know how to treat it. So without that information and a tumor that has grown in 8 months, you still don't have what you need to get treatment.
So, you need to find a larger hospital or university hospital with a pituitary center and take all your records (get copies of everything forever and always) and find a decent doctor. You are going to have to learn so that you know if the doc is good or a dud. Errors can hold you up.
And hopefully you can educate the silly doc that keeps sending you for MRIs and NOT testing or treatment??? What is up with that...
Nov 20, 2012
Hi Rumpled,
To offer a bit more clarification, I have been treated in the past months with Cabergoline and Bromocriptine, both giving me untolerable side effects, bad headaches, nausea, dizziness and Rhinitis. I have a Prolactinoma. My referral is to Mayo Clinic, I will be seeing both an endo and a neurosurgeon then. It sounds like you are interpreting this referral as saying the tumor has grown as well? I was certain that was the reading but my endo I'm seeing now had said 'not really'. I don't have confidence in him at all at this point and am relieved to be seeing a specialist at Mayo. I am currently not taking any meds and have been off them for about 4 weeks. I feel like I am playing roulette. : (
Nov 20, 2012
One more thing...what does abnormal enhancement mean?
Nov 21, 2012
I just came back from vacation and the beds were like sleeping on tables - so I did not sleep for days... so my brain is not functioning! Uck. I hope after a good nights sleep I am more sane. But .8AP is not 8mm as in .8cm? I usually encounter CM or MM in reports and that was not noted. To me that is an increase in size - and since pit tumors tend to be stable or slow growers... but imaging is not exact on sizing. Was it a dynamic pituitary MRI?
So you have a prolactinoma. Abnormal enhancement is simply that *something is there* - so something is enhancing - it is darker or lighter on the scan.
It can take a while for the medication side effects to calm down - so if you only gave one medication a short time, you did not have enough time. If you took both at the same time (not sure, hope not) that would have been rough... did you try altering how you took it - as in tapering up dosages, eating with it, time of day changes etc?
Mayo huh... any other options around?
Nov 21, 2012
Thanks for getting back to me. I hope you are getting some better sleep on your own comfy bed. : )
As far the .8 AP....well, it's all foreign to me. That's just what it said? I don't know about the type of MRI. I know that they used contrast, if that helps.
As far as medication, I tried the Cabergoline first on 1/2 pill 1x/week. No side effects but my prolactin levels would not come down. When I started this in January, they were at 79. My endo then increased to 1/2 pill 2x/week. My levels came down over the course of a couple months to 29 but the headaches were relentless. We decided to try the Bromocriptine. Same thing, 1/2 pill 1x/day was ok but...my prolactin climed to 108. I then started on 1/2 pill 2x/day and I had horrible dizziness and Rhinitis. I am a business owner/appraiser and do alot of driving and office work. I just couldn't function. In the end, even taking the meds 2x/day, it wasn't bringing down the prolactin. I then started back on Cabergoline thinking I could just tolerate the headaches but even starting on a small dose, the headaches came back strong. I really need to feel well again. A few short years ago, I was running 1/2 marathons. Now, I feel like a darn slug!
Just a little more info, the headaches are what prompted the MRI in August. Also, you don't sound thrilled about Mayo. Concerns? From my research, it seems like a good place to be. ??
Nov 22, 2012
The AP and all are dimensions - it just says where the tumor is placed sort of as in how tall - but the other report was easier to me.
Some just don't do well with the meds.
Not every place is good for everyone, but most I know that have gone to a Mayo have not been helped as well as they could have at a pituitary center. They are tops in endocrine according to the magazines. I just don't know pituitary people that have diagnosis help there - but you are already diagnosed and I am pretty sure surgeons are tops. I just hear a lot about other places, not them.
For small tumors these little monsters can wreak havoc!

Britney Spears' Twitter Hacked By French Man Because He Hated Our Freedom
An unnamed 24-year-old French man was arrested on Tuesday for hacking into President Barack Obama's--and more importantly--Britney Spears' Twitter accounts. Oh, the damage he could have caused with access to someone's Twitter. Thank God this menace has been nabbed!
In April of 2009, the French man hacked into both Twitter accounts by guessing the "secret" question that companies will often use to retrieve passwords for users.
The man could face up to two years in prison and a fine up to $40,000.
The man didn't post any tweets under the accounts but took screenshots of the accounts to prove that he had successfully hacked into the accounts. Apparently, he just hacked into them to "prove he was capable" of hacking.
Dude, what is even the point of hacking into two of the world's most powerful tweeters (yes, you heard that right) if you aren't going to post a tweet under their name? Imagine how funny your geeky internet pals would have found it if you tweeted "b00bz b00bz b00bz!!!1!" from a famous person's Twitter? This is exactly why the French haven't won a war since Napoleon.
