Walk like a Buddha : even if your boss sucks, your ex is torturing you, and you're hungover again / Lodro Rinzler (294.34 R) -- Since the summer of 2010, young Buddhist teacher Lodro Rinzler has been writing a popular advice column for the Huffington Post and the Interdependence Project called "What Would Sid Do?" ("Sid" being Lodro's nickname for Siddhartha Gautama--the prince who became the Buddha). Lodro's insightful and often funny answers to questions--ranging from how to forgive, to how to deal with a boss who's a bully, to whether or not it's OK to join Match.com--have made him the Dear Abby of the spiritual-but-not-religious crowd. This book gathers all of Lodro's Huffington Post columns, along with much as-yet-unpublished material, to provide a guide to life in a Q & A format that allows you to easily access wisdom for dealing with the myriad challenges of life--traditional challenges as well as uniquely modern ones related to things like social justice and social media.
The men who united the States : America's explorers, inventors, eccentrics, and mavericks, and the creation of one nation, indivisible / Simon Winchester (973 W) --Simon Winchester, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Atlantic and The Professor and the Madman, delivers his first book about America: a fascinating popular history that illuminates the men who toiled fearlessly to discover, connect, and bond the citizenry and geography of the U.S.A. from its beginnings. How did America become "one nation, indivisible"? What unified a growing number of disparate states into the modern country we recognize today? To answer these questions, Winchester follows in the footsteps of America's most essential explorers, thinkers, and innovators, such as Lewis and Clark and the leaders of the Great Surveys; the builders of the first transcontinental telegraph and the powerful civil engineer behind the Interstate Highway System. He treks vast swaths of territory, from Pittsburgh to Portland, Rochester to San Francisco, Seattle to Anchorage, introducing the fascinating people who played a pivotal role in creating today's United States. Throughout, he ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded, and to what degree. Featuring 32 illustrations throughout the text, The Men Who United the States is a fresh look at the way in which the most powerful nation on earth came together.
Book of ages : the life and opinions of Jane Franklin / Jill Lepore (B FRANKLIN) -- From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians, a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin's youngest sister and a history of history itself. Like her brother, Jane Franklin was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. Unlike him, she was a mother of twelve. Benjamin Franklin, who wrote more letters to his sister than he wrote to anyone else, was the original American self-made man; his sister spent her life caring for her children. They left very different traces behind. Making use of an amazing cache of little-studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one woman but an entire world—a world usually lost to history. Lepore's life of Jane Franklin, with its strikingly original vantage on her remarkable brother, is at once a wholly different account of the founding of the United States and one of the great untold stories of American history and letters: a life unknown.
What the dog knows : the science and wonder of working dogs / Cat Warren (636.7 W) -- Cat Warren is a university professor and former journalist with an admittedly odd hobby: She and her German shepherd have spent the last seven years searching for the dead. Solo is a cadaver dog. What started as a way to harness Solo's unruly energy and enthusiasm soon became a calling that introduced Warren to the hidden and fascinating universe of working dogs, their handlers, and their trainers. Solo has a fine nose and knows how to use it, but he's only one of many thousands of working dogs all over the United States and beyond. In What the Dog Knows, Warren uses her ongoing work with Solo as a way to explore a captivating field that includes cadaver dogs, drug- and bomb-detecting K9s, tracking and apprehension dogs—even dogs who can locate unmarked graves of Civil War soldiers and help find drowning victims more than two hundred feet below the surface of a lake. Working dogs' abilities may seem magical or mysterious, but Warren shows the multifaceted science, the rigorous training, and the skilled handling that underlie the amazing abilities of dogs who work with their noses.
Helen of Troy : beauty, myth, devastation / Ruby Blondell (880.9 B) -- The story of Helen of Troy has its origins in ancient Greek epic and didactic poetry, more than 2500 years ago, but it remains one of the world's most galvanizing myths about the destructive power of beauty. Much like the ancient Greeks, our own relationship to female beauty is deeply ambivalent, fraught with both desire and danger. We worship and fear it, advertise it everywhere yet try desperately to control and contain it. No other myth evocatively captures this ambivalence better than that of Helen, daughter of Zeus and Leda, and wife of the Spartan leader Menelaus. Her elopement with (or abduction by) the Trojan prince Paris "launched a thousand ships" and started the most famous war in antiquity. For ancient Greek poets and philosophers, the Helen myth provided a means to explore the paradoxical nature of female beauty, which is at once an awe-inspiring, supremely desirable gift from the gods, essential to the perpetuation of a man's name through reproduction, yet also grants women terrifying power over men, posing a threat inseparable from its allure.
Raspberry Pi® : projects for the evil genius / Donald Norris (005.167 N) -- This wickedly inventive guide shows you how to create all kinds of entertaining and practical projects with Raspberry Pi operating system and programming environment. In Raspberry Pi Projects for the Evil Genius, you'll learn how to build a Bluetooth-controlled robot, a weather station, home automation and security controllers, a universal remote, and even a minimalist website. You'll also find out how to establish communication between Android devices and the RasPi. Each fun, inexpensive Evil Genius project includes a detailed list of materials, sources for parts, schematics, and lots of clear, well-illustrated instructions for easy assembly. The larger workbook-style layout makes following the step-by-step instructions a breeze.
The criminal conversation of Mrs. Norton : Victorian England's "scandal of the century" and the fallen socialite who changed women's lives forever / Diane Atkinson (305.42 A) -- Westminster, London, June 22, 1836. Crowds are gathering at the Court of Common Pleas. On trial is Caroline Sheridan Norton, a beautiful and clever young woman who had been maneuvered into marrying the Honorable George Norton when she was just nineteen. Ten years older, he is a dull, violent, and controlling lawyer, but Caroline is determined not to be a traditional wife. By her early twenties, Caroline has become a respected poet and songwriter, clever mimic, and outrageous flirt. Her beauty and wit attract many male admirers, including the Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. After years of simmering jealousy, George Norton accuses Caroline and the Prime Minister of "criminal conversation" (adultery) precipitating Victorian England's "scandal of the century." In Westminster Hall that day is a young Charles Dickens, who would, just a few months later, fictionalize events as Bardell v. Pickwick in The Pickwick Papers. After a trial lasting twelve hours, the jury's not guilty verdict is immediate, unanimous, and sensational. George is a laughingstock. Angry and humiliated he cuts Caroline off, as was his right under the law, refuses to let her see their three sons, seizes her manuscripts and letters, her clothes and jewels, and leaves her destitute. Knowing she can not change her brutish husband's mind, Caroline resolves to change the law.
Humans of New York / Brandon Stanton (974.71 S) -- Now an instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Humans of New York had humble beginnings in the summer of 2010, when photographer Brandon Stanton set out to create a photographic census of New York City. Armed with his camera, he began crisscrossing the city, covering thousands of miles on foot, all in an attempt to capture New Yorkers and their stories. The result of these efforts was a vibrant blog he called "Humans of New York," in which his photos were featured alongside quotes and anecdotes. The blog has steadily grown, now boasting more than a million devoted followers. Humans of New York is the book inspired by the blog. With four hundred color photos, including exclusive portraits and all-new stories, Humans of New York is a stunning collection of images that showcases the outsized personalities of New York.
The novel cure : from abandoment to zestlessness : 751 books to cure what ails you / Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin (809.39 B) -- A novel is a story transmitted from the novelist to the reader. It offers distraction, entertainment, and an opportunity to unwind or focus. But it can also be something more powerful—a way to learn about how to live. Read at the right moment in your life, a novel can—quite literally—change it. The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. To create this apothecary, the authors have trawled two thousand years of literature for novels that effectively promote happiness, health, and sanity, written by brilliant minds who knew what it meant to be human and wrote their life lessons into their fiction. Structured like a reference book, readers simply look up their ailment, be it agoraphobia, boredom, or a midlife crisis, and are given a novel to read as the antidote. Bibliotherapy does not discriminate between pains of the body and pains of the head (or heart). Whatever your condition, the prescription is simple: a novel (or two), to be read at regular intervals and in nice long chunks until you finish. Some treatments will lead to a complete cure. Others will offer solace, showing that you're not the first to experience these emotions. The Novel Cure is also peppered with useful lists and sidebars recommending the best novels to read when you're stuck in traffic or can't fall asleep, the most important novels to read during every decade of life, and many more.
The system : the glory and scandal of big-time college football / Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian (796.332 B) -- COLLEGE FOOTBALL has never been more popular—or more chaotic. Millions fill 100,000-seat stadiums every Saturday; tens of millions more watch on television every weekend. The 2013 Discover BCS National Championship game between Notre Dame and Alabama had a viewership of 26.4 million people, second only to the Super Bowl. Billions of dollars from television deals now flow into the game; the average budget for a top-ten team is $80 million; top coaches make more than $3 million a year; the highest paid, more than $5 million. But behind this glittering success are darker truths: "athlete-students" working essentially full-time jobs with no share in the oceans of money; players who often don't graduate and end their careers with broken bodies; "janitors" who clean up player misconduct; football "hostesses" willing to do whatever it takes to land a top recruit; seven-figure black box recruiting slush funds. And this: Despite the millions of dollars pouring into the game, 90 percent of major athletic departments still lose money. Yet schools remain caught up in an ever-escalating "arms race"—at the expense of academic scholarships, facilities and faculty.

My pick is "I am the Walrus". I don't think John has written anything more obscure/cryptic than this tune, which I love BTW.
Throughout the lyric there's plenty of obscure references and imagery.
I don't "get" most of them. I'd love to "understand" them, meaning to see how they "fit" within the "context", the "theme". It's hard to explain.
I'd love to understand what John had in mind (besides acid) when he picked stuff like "yellow matter custard", or "elementry penguim singing Hare Khrishna", or "crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess" or "....kicking Edgard Allan Poe". How do they "fit" in the writer's motives/motivation ? Or did he just pick them up because they sounded nice to him ????

Eat to Run for Life - Page 2
Don't Count Calories, but Make Calories Count
Though runners don't typically need to worry about the scale readout, in your mid-30s your metabolism starts to slow. Keep your waistline from expanding by choosing foods low in, or free of, refined flours and sugars that have no nutritional value. "Runners often feel hungry because they burn so much energy," says Tara Gidus, RD and team dietitian for the Orlando Magic. Balanced meals that include a variety of nutrients will provide "calories that fill you up instead of filling you out," says Gidus. A sample meal: a whole wheat tortilla with two to three ounces of grilled chicken, a half cup of pinto or black beans, lettuce, tomato and a half cup of brown rice and side of fruit.
Prioritize Fiber
Fiber does more than simply make you feel full. Digestion becomes more difficult as we age, so fiber helps maintain digestive regularity. While the recommended daily amount decreases slightly for people over 50 (to 21 grams from 25 for women, and 30 grams from 38 for men), the number assumes a lower overall caloric intake.
Soluble fiber (found in oats and beans) also removes cholesterol from the bloodstream by absorbing it like a sponge. Insoluble fiber (from bran, fruits, vegetables and whole grains) helps move waste through the bowels. "Plus these foods are satiating, providing feelings of fullness," says Gidus.
Pump Some Iron
"Iron is an essential mineral for making healthy red blood cells and moving oxygen to working muscles," says Lona Sandon, RD and associate professor at the University of Texas Southwestern. Strenuous exercise, like running, breaks down red blood cells that are then expelled in the urine. Endurance athletes also lose small amounts of iron through sweat.
But iron-rich foods, such as meat, replenish your red blood cells. Vegetarian iron sources include pulses (the edible seeds of legumes) like lentils and beans, and leafy green vegetables. These are less easily absorbed than meat sources, so pair them with foods high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, bell peppers and tomatoes.
Power Up With Protein
Running increases your protein needs for muscle and tissue repair. "Replenish protein 15 to 20 minutes after running, or at least within an hour," says Gerbstadt. "This can reduce muscle loss and replace glycogen most efficiently." The enzymes responsible for making glycogen are most active immediately following a workout, which means the longer the gap until you eat protein, the slower your muscles refuel and repair themselves. Studies show carbohydrate-to-protein ratios of 3:1 or 4:1 to be most beneficial. You can find these pre-measured ratios in recovery drinks or Gerbstadt's favorite, low-fat chocolate or soy milk.
But protein is not just a post-run necessity. If you take a long time to recover from hard runs or heal from injury, you may be protein deficient. Research has shown that the body cannot absorb more then 30 grams of protein per meal, so spread your protein intake throughout the day. Consume one gram of protein per kilo of body mass from sources such as fish, chicken, beef, whey and eggs. Therefore, a 160-pound person should aim for three 25-gram servings of protein daily.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (14 votes).
In short: Good, could've been greatIn full: The Course: From Holyrood down Portobello beach, back round Arthurs Seat before heading around central Edinburgh. It's a far superior route to the EMF as it actually feels like a city run. There are a few gradual hills but three big downhills in the second half which are very welcome.The Organisation: Everything was running smoothly, including excellent traffic management at each point, but it was complete chaos after the finish. Waiting well over an hour to pick up baggage as the organisers weren't prepared for the Scottish weather. It wasn't fun being battered by wind and rain, slowly seizing up. No bags on offer with the goodies so everyone was juggling at the same time. The organisers have been very receptive to the criticism on the facebook page, so hopeful they'll rework things for 2014.Actually, the corrals at the start were all over the shop too...I was in the 2nd from the front and passing people who were already walking after less than 1km. What the hell were they doing there?!The volunteers were terrific, and the public were out in force despite the horrible conditions. That was fantastic and helped loads. However, the advertised bands-every-mile were almost non-existent from Mile 8.In spite of the negative comments, I loved this course, the medal's the best I've ever had, the support on course was excellent and the post-race supplies were plentiful and gratefully received. I reckon I'll probably go again next year.Date of review: April 15, 2013
In short: Not very rock 'n' rollIn full: On the positive side, the course was good - challenging and made more so by the weather - and the drinks stations provided not just water but isotonic drinks (at about 4 and 9 miles) and apparently gels too. The isotonic drink containers weren't the easiest to drink from and tended to spill, but at least it wasn't cups. Water was in bottles - good. Timing mats at 10k and 10 miles were a welcome addition.On the negative side, access to the starting pens was not easy - it appeared that lots of people had to enter via corral 1 and make their way back through the crowds of runners. The atmosphere on the course was a little lacking - especially for a 'rock 'n' roll' event. While one can't blame people for wanting to stay out of the wind and rain, there also did not seem to be as many bands on the course as advertised. Then, at the end, there didn't seem to be any goody bags - that is, we received water, isotonic drink, power bar, banana, crisps etc. but no bag to put them in!Finally, with the headline act cancelled, this can't have been much fun for spectators at the start/finish. Not very rock 'n' roll! I'm glad I didn't need to pick up baggage too.Okay, so it was windy, so some of this can be forgiven. However, the wind had been forecast pretty accurately and one would expect the rock 'n' roll franchise to be experienced enough to be able to handle it.Date of review: April 15, 2013
In short: Potential to be a great race - lovely route with some challenging hills to keep things interesting, but very unlucky with the weatherIn full: Unfortunately the weather was a real let down for this race as the headline act had to be cancelled and meant less support along the route. The route is lovely though even in gale force winds and driving rain! Good selection of food and drinks afterwards, women's sized t- shirts and a nice chunky medal. Date of review: April 15, 2013
In short: All the ingredients spoiled by the weatherIn full: A cold, windy and rainy Edinburgh for a spring race! This made the organisation a bit chaotic because of the strong winds around the tented area. Atmosphere out on course was thin in (most places) but as always stewards great, some hardy locals encouraging us all and the bands were good but thin on the ground. Some issues (for me) with organisation of entry into the pens - mixed up with slow and faster runners and no checks and also baggage collection. Final point - contents of goody bag ok but there was no bag to hold it all in and saw lots of runners trying to carry items - not good. Overall intent is there but needs tweaks and better weather...Date of review: April 14, 2013

A nice day
The sky was heavy with dark clouds that flew from horizon to horizon. A gentle rain had been falling all morning and I was hoping that some good browns would be on the move. The river was low and clear and things were looking up. I decided to head up higher to water that was all wild fish and see what happened.
A Tellico tributary was my goal and I flew along, over and around the ridges. As I approached the bridge were I would first see the river, I noticed that the water looked awfully swift. Sure enough, the stream was high and off color. After a brief stop to make sure it wasnt worth my time, I decided to head towards the upper Tellico and maybe some more tribs. High water seemed to be the theme of the day until I saw a stream entering the main river that looked semi normal. It was up and stained but not chocolate milk. The fish should be feeding . I thought to myself.
I was soon in the water with a fish on and things were looking up. However, I couldnt keep any more on long enough to get a good look at them. Finally, the thought came to me to do some exploring so I headed to higher elevations in search of a brookie. The normally small trickles that originate high on the mountains were a lot higher but not too dirty. I had a few hits before I landed my first monster brookie! A solid 2 inches!!!
Happy that I caught one, I almost quit for the day but decided to try a couple more holes. I found a nice spot where a tiny feeder creek entered. My nymph was lobbed up into the small pool and the line came alive. Thats a nice rainbow for this little stream I mused. When I saw the fish, I had a pleasant surprise. It was another brookie and this one was a fat 8 1/2 inches. The day suddenly seemed brighter as I slipped out the hook and watched the fish fade back into the pool

Re: A nice day
That was a nice day! The rain would have annoyed me but I have caught good fish in the rain. The water would have knocked me down even on the bank, if it was as swift as you said. I wish I could have done that but I'm only 14 and go to school. I do get a time during school to use this board. (We get a free time on the computer.) I hope yours and my days are like that more often. Well have a good one!

Re: A nice day
The water WAS definately very swift. I was suprised that it was up as much as it looked. I'm sure someone with a kayak would have had a great time...

EasyJet to Flight Test Ash-Detection System
U.K.-based low cost carrier EasyJet, with Airbus and Norwegian research company Nicarnica Aviation, is ready to perform flight tests for an airborne volcanic ash detection system called Airborne Volcanic Object Identifier and Detector (AVOID).
Last week, the airline transported a ton of volcanic ash collected in Iceland to a testing center in Toulouse, France. The ash has been dried to the consistency of talcum powder, to be used in a flight trial scheduled for August.
The flight trial will feature two Airbus aircraft, one of which will disperse the ash into the atmosphere, creating an artificial ash cloud for the second aircraft fitted with the AVOID technology to test the system's ability to detect and avoid volcanic ash at over 30,000 feet.
"The threat from Icelandic volcanoes continues, and so finalizing the approval of the AVOID technology is as crucial now as ever to ensure we never again see the scenes of spring 2010 when all flying ceased for several days," said Ian Davies, engineering director at EasyJet.
Created by Dr. Fred Prata, chief technology officer at Nicarnica Aviation, EasyJet likens the AVOID system to "a weather radar for ash."
AVOID features infrared technology within a wingtip pod that sends images to pilots and crew to aid them in changing their flight path to avoid ash clouds. The system can reportedly detect ash clouds up to 62 miles ahead of an aircraft.
"This is the perfect science experiment. We will know exactly how much ash we have placed in the atmosphere, and also its concentration and composition. AVOID will then measure it and demonstrate the technology," said Prata.
Airbus is hoping the the AVOID system will contribute towards three dimensional mapping tools that will allow airlines to operate safely in airspace that features the threat of ash clouds, according to a senior flight test engineer for the company.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (121 votes).
In short: My first race and found it really enjoyable. I thought that some of the markings were short especially between 8k and the finish. Wsa really suprised at my time but reading other comments this was probably down to the course being less than 10k!Date of review: November 6, 2006
In short: Good race, but some of the marked kilometres seemed a bit short.In full: Fine weather and no mud meant a fast course, despite the long uphills. I would have described the course as multiterrain rather than trail, though, as there was a good deal of metalled road. Like others, I'm concerned that the overall distance may have been short, as my time over some marked kilometres was surprisingly quick. Pity, as my time was nearly 5 minutes faster than at Highclere a month ago! Pity too that finishing positions were not recorded.Date of review: November 6, 2006
In short: Great route and fun run atmosphere. Not for serious runners.In full: Organsised very much as a fun run. The course isn't nearly as challenging as the publicity makes out, being run mostly on good hard tracks and roads. No permit, and the course is definitely well short of 10k. Careful measurement on gmap pedometer gets it nearer to 9k. Recommended for beginners and fun runners who want a pleasant run, but don't quote your time as a valid pb!Date of review: November 6, 2006
In short: Good course, great fun, smashing mix of people of all abilities. Well done to the organisers.Date of review: November 6, 2006
In short: Super day; fun warm-up routine, great route and smashing atmosphere. Well done Terry Bickerstaff and Salisbury District Hospital!!Date of review: November 5, 2006
In short: A nice run, bit dangerous in the muddy parts, lots of uphills but loved the constant downhill from 8K!! Great prizes.Date of review: November 5, 2006
In short: Excellent event, good route and after a chilly start, lovely weather. Date of review: November 5, 2006
In short: I really enjoyed this race. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was great.In full: I liked the warm up, nice touch. The event was very well organised and I will certainly be back again next year. Well done.Date of review: November 5, 2006
In short: Tidworth 9.5K maybe?In full: well organised and scenic but if i'm running a race advertised as 10K the least i expect is that it WILL actually be 10K! I thought i'd run a PB until i found out it was at least quarter of a mile short :o(Date of review: November 5, 2006
In short: Great run, well organised and nice off road sections - not quite 10k but that does not really matter as the hills make up for it.Date of review: November 5, 2006

How learning an instrument can benefit your brain.
Q: How can learning to play the piano benefit my brain? A: Learning a new musical instrument can be critically important for brain function �it can physically and functionally change your brain. So much information is synthesized when you learn something new. You gain translatable skills, and many people who learn new instruments see improvements in math and reading. Easier is not always better: Obviously someone who has read music before will be better at learning a new instrument. The more challenging something is, the better it is for your brain. � Dr. David Perlmutter, neurologist, co-author, The Better Brain Book CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE COMPLETE ARCHIVES OF EXPERT ANSWERS FROM DR.

Final Mission (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
On his way to Starfleet Academy, Wesley Crusher must care for an injured Captain Picard after their shuttle crashes on a desert moon.
Summary Edit
Wesley Crusher comes running onto the bridge and apologizes to Captain Picard for being ten minutes late for a summon. Picard chastises the young man, then, smiling, tells the young ensign that a position has opened in this year's class at Starfleet Academy and that Wesley has been granted the posting. Admiral Nsomeka has contacted Picard and expects Wesley to be leaving for the Academy in two weeks, and he will have to work hard to catch up with his classmates.
In the interim, Picard is to arbitrate a mining dispute on Pentarus V, and he opts to bring Wesley along to observe the effects of outpost judiciary decisions on Federation law. The USS Enterprise-D rendezvouses with Captain Dirgo's shuttle, and Picard and Wesley depart with Dirgo to Pentarus III. On first meeting Dirgo, Wesley quietly makes a rude comment to Geordi La Forge on Dirgo calling himself a captain – though he holds no formal rank and commands only a mining shuttle. Dirgo makes it clear he heard it and says the ship has over 10,000 hours of flight recorded and means a lot to him and his people. Shortly before their departure, the Enterprise receives a distress signal from Chairman Songi of Gamelan V – they are receiving high critical levels of radiation from a "space barge" which is entering their atmosphere. The Enterprise speeds off under Riker's command to assist.
Meanwhile, Dirgo's shuttle suffers a mishap, and has little choice but to to crash land on Lambda Paz, a desert moon of Pentarus III. Dirgo tells Picard that since the mining shuttle had very little space, he depended on the replicator for supplies, leaving them only with a medicine pouch. Picard decides they must head towards the mountains to find shelter, to which Dirgo first objects but then admits he has no better alternative. After Picard leaves a directional marker on the ground so that a rescue party may find them, he, Wesley, and Dirgo start their walk. Dirgo is seen secretly drinking clear liquid from a bottle. During their hike, Wesley notes some strange energy readings with his tricorder in the direction of their travel. When finally in a cavern in the mountain, the bottle falls from Dirgo's jacket, and is revealed to be an alcoholic beverage called dresci. Dirgo makes an excuse that "I was going to hand it round". Picard confiscates it and says that it would serve better as a disinfectant or coolant, and orders it to be kept under guard in the medicine box.
They find a section with an increased level of the energy readings, and investigating, the trio find a strange fountain of water. The fountain is protected by a force field, and attempts by Dirgo to fire at the field with his phaser unleashes a sentry energy weapon which knocks the weapon from his hand and encases it in a selenium-fiber shell. In the commotion, a landslide begins over Wesley, but Picard pushes him out of the way, suffering a broken leg, fractured arm, and internal bleeding in the process. Weakened, Picard tells Wesley that he has to take charge and deter Dirgo from any further rash attempts to breach the force field. But clearly, their need for water is greater than ever.
Dirgo runs out of patience and tries to convince Wesley to make another attempt to breach the force field. Wesley tries to talk him out of attempting this, but Dirgo does not yield. This attempt results in Dirgo being encased in the shell, and killed. Wesley struggles to figure out a way to disable the force field, while keeping Picard conscious and comfortable. During some tense and emotional exchanges, Picard tells Wesley that he envies him, saying "you're just at the beginning of the adventure." He urges Wesley to seek out a man named Boothby as he considers him the "wisest man at the Academy." Wesley asks what he teaches, to which Picard answers, "He's the groundskeeper." Wesley confesses that everything he has done to succeed on the Enterprise has been to make Picard proud of him. Picard tells him that he's always been proud of him.
In the Gamelan system, the Enterprise-D manages to slingshot the leaking barge directly into Gamelan's sun by tractoring it through an asteroid belt, narrowly avoiding lethal radiation exposure to the crew in the process by ten seconds. They rush back to the Pentarus system to participate in the search for the now overdue shuttle. They begin with the class M moons of Pentarus III, which have not yet been searched by the miners.
On the moon, Wesley jury-rigs his combadge and tricorder to interfere and possibly disable the energy sentry. He succeeds and disables the force field around the fountain. He brings water to Picard in one of the shuttle's survival kit cases.
Wesley is woken some time later by his mother, who informs him that Picard is all right and his vital signs are stabilized. As Picard is carried out on a stretcher by Martinez and another medic, he grabs Wesley's hand and confesses, "You will be missed."

Background information Edit
Story and production Edit
- This episode was created expressly with the purpose of providing an appropriate way for Wil Wheaton to leave the show. Wheaton had asked to leave The Next Generation so he could pursue offers to appear in feature films. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 2nd ed., p. 149)
- Michael Piller commented, "There had been a lot of very bad feeling around here about the way Tasha Yar was sent off. So we were determined to give Wesley a send-off that had real value and something that stayed with us. We finally decided that he would go to the Academy, which I think was Gene's idea [and] the most reasonable and easiest idea, which also keeps him alive for future episodes." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 212)
- In the original story, Wesley and Picard crashed on an ice planet. On the suggestion of Rick Berman, this was changed as it was believed that a desert planet could be created more realistically. (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 212)
- This episode was previously titled "Turnabout". [1]
- Jeri Taylor recalled, "That's the episode I probably put more work on than any all year long, because it was a combination of a very delicate kind of interpersonal story, and the dreaded technical story which is the garbage scow in space. So I had this supertechnical thing going on at the same time as this delicate kind of interpersonal story." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 212)
- The shuttle Nenebek was named after Larry Nemecek. Jeri Taylor related to Nemecek years later that she had one of his TNG Concordances on her shelf, and simply altered two of the letters in his last name. [X]wbm
- Two days of location shooting were done on the El Mirage Dry Lake Bed in San Bernardino County, east of Los Angeles to portray the surface of Lambda Paz. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 2nd ed., p. 149)
- The fountain was created on Stage 16. Rick Berman recalled, "We had huge optical problems with the fountain. It was a nightmare. It was something we built and it didn't work. Then we were going to do it optically and that didn't work. So we had a lot of technical problems." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 212)
- The incident where Picard finds and commandeers the dresci and orders it to be kept in the medicine box is similar to, and may have been inspired by, a real incident that happened in Shackleton's Antarctic expedition as reported in a television reconstruction.
- First UK airdate: 1 June 1994
Cast Edit
- This episode marks Wesley Crusher's final regular appearance on TNG. He later appeared in the episodes "The Game", "The First Duty", "Parallels" (in another quantum reality), and "Journey's End" as well as Star Trek Nemesis.
- Nick Tate later played Liam Bilby in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Honor Among Thieves".
Continuity Edit
- Wesley references his prior shuttle trip with Picard in "Samaritan Snare".
- Before beginning their trek to the mountains, Dirgo distributes some phasers he scavenged from his damaged shuttle. The props used are Starfleet phaser pistols circa 2285, from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, which would make sense since Dirgo operated his shuttle with old and outdated equipment.
- The groundskeeper for the Starfleet Academy, Boothby, is mentioned for the first time. He would later appear in the fifth season Next Generation episode "The First Duty" and later on in the fifth season Star Trek: Voyager episodes "In the Flesh" and "The Fight".
- According to the graphic on Data's ops station, the shuttle Nenebek leaves through the Main shuttlebay. The Main shuttlebay was only seen once more in "Cause and Effect".
Reception Edit
- Michael Piller remarked, "I think Jeri did a wonderful job on the script and Corey Allen, who is one of my favorite directors, gave you the best pieces of film you can get. If it gets an A- instead of an A, it's only because the story itself, of two guys trapped on a planets and how do we get off, in general is not very original, and the story of the garbage scow was no great shakes either. But I think we handled it pretty well." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 212)
- Rick Berman added, "That's one of my favorite episodes. I think it was very poignant and the acting on the part of our guest cast, Nick Tate, Patrick's work and Wil's, was just excellent. I thought it was just a terrific piece of drama." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 212)
- A mission report for this episode by Patrick Daniel O'Neill was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 15, pp. 54-56.
Video and DVD releases Edit

Jorge Cantu is one of several Rays whose past performance doesn't guarantee a roster slot today.
By MARC TOPKIN
Published March 25, 2007
ST. PETERSBURG - Jorge Cantu was one of the most productive players in the major leagues in 2005 with 28 homers, 117 RBIs and a .286 average. Despite battling injury much of last season, he still finished third on the team with 62 RBIs and seventh with 14 homers. He is the only player in the Devil Rays clubhouse who has driven in 100 runs - or 90, or even 85 - in a major-league season. He is still young 25 and cheap ($410,200). He has drawn raves from his bosses about how hard he has worked.
But with a week left in spring training, Cantu doesn't know if he will keep his job as the starting second baseman. Or if he'll be used more in a DH and part-time role. Or if he'll even make the team, with demotion to Triple-A Durham a possibility.
"I'm just employee No. 3," Cantu said. "People in the organization, in MLB, on other teams know what I am capable of doing. If in Tampa Bay's mind I have to prove that I can do it again this year, so be it. I haven't heard anything as to what my role is going to be this year.
"There's nothing I can say. I just have to keep working hard and let the situation happen."
Cantu isn't the only Ray with at least some major-league success who has to prove this week he deserves to stay in the majors.
Jonny Gomes, who hit an American League-leading 11 homers in April before struggling with a sore shoulder that eventually required season-ending surgery, could be sent to Triple A. So could Seth McClung, who converted six of seven saves during the final two months last season and came into spring training as the leading closer candidate. And perhaps a few other surprising candidates as the Rays reduce their roster from 37 to 25.
With all the newfangled things the Rays have tried - complex statistical analysis, yoga classes, a uniformed performance coach, detailed video analysis of pitching mechanics, a nutritionist, just about everything short of clubhouse feng shui - they are also trying to install one very old-fashioned concept:
Players have to earn their jobs in the major leagues.
No gimmes
"As we determine the opening day roster and any subsequent moves, it will be a meritocracy," executive vice president Andrew Friedman said. "Players will earn, and have a chance to determine, their playing time."
Or, as Gomes said, "It's definitely the old-school tryout."
It's hardly a novel idea, but it has not always been standard operating procedure with the Rays. Among other changes to the culture. Manager Joe Maddon and Friedman are trying to make it clear that players won't simply be rewarded because of who they are or what they've done in the past.
"No more scholarships - as it should be," Maddon said. "I think in this camp you can already see that. Nobody believes they have it made. They know they've got to do something to make the team, and they're all making the effort. ... We want to make it into a situation that's very competitive. And once you get here you have to fight to stay here because what's coming up behind you is so good also."
Cantu is seeing exactly what they mean. Having struggled last season after breaking a bone in his left foot during an April game, he has worked to re-establish himself, "to get back to the Cantu of '05."
As much as the Rays recognize his efforts, they have not yet seen enough to reward him.
Options galore
B.J. Upton has gotten increased opportunities at second base (and looked increasingly more comfortable), and there is a scenario in which Ty Wigginton could move to second with Carlos Pena starting at first. Plus, the Rays aren't committed to a single set lineup, creating the possibility that Cantu could be used in a platoon role or somewhat regularly at DH.
"We have more options available at second base," Maddon said. "Jorge has worked his butt off. I definitely see him in better shape. I see him moving somewhat better.
"The big thing about Jorge has been his offense. So we're looking to see the bat pick up. A lot of people believe that he's still capable of driving in those 100-plus runs that he did a couple years ago. We're just not ready to make that call."
Cantu has looked good at times in the field this spring, but lackluster and too casual, too. He is hitting .255 with 11 strikeouts and two extra-base hits.
"The big thing for Jorge is that he maintains the consistency he enjoyed in '05, and I think being healthy from the beginning will help that," Friedman said. "His role has yet to be determined, but I'm confident Jorge will help the Rays win games in '07."
If that sounds cryptic, it might be. Cantu has heard the rumors he could be sent down - "It would be a really bad slap at me" - as well as chatter that he could be traded, with the Mets among those said to be interested.
Philosophically, he said he understands what the Rays are trying to do, that "in this business I think everyone knows it's what have you done for the team lately." He is confident he will regain his '05 form and re-establish himself as a big-time player, at a time when he is heading into his first season of arbitration eligibility, if he gets the opportunity.
"I'll put it to you this way: If somebody here on this team believes in me still, I think I'm going to be here still. If somebody doesn't believe in me, I will not be here. It's just like that," Cantu said. "In my mind I think I've done everything I possibly could so far this spring to (prove) to myself that I'm ready to take over the position that I have. Or that I used to have. I don't know yet."
Fast Facts:
Curious Jorge
One of the big decisions the Rays have to make this week is on Jorge Cantu. A key is whether he'll be closer to his 2005 numbers or last year's. A look:
2005 2006
Avg. .286 .249
HRs 28 14
RBIs 117 62
Slg. .497 .404

NewPage Corp. announces plans to reduce workforce
ESCANABA – NewPage Corp., owner of the paper mill in Escanaba, has announced the lay-off of 300 employees company-wide.
According to Jackie Pride, communications and public relations manager at the Escanaba NewPage facility, NewPage is reducing personnel costs by approximately 5 percent across all seven of its locations.
Of the company's 6,000 employees, 300 positions are being eliminated. NewPage will also reduce its non-personnel costs by $20 million in specific areas.
The decision comes as a result of the declining demand in the paper industry and trying to ensure the business has long-term sustainability, said Pride.
She noted the specific number of positions impacted at the Escanaba location is not being released at this time. However, an undisclosed number of salaried positions were eliminated this week.
During the last 1 1/2 years, hourly positions in production have been impacted and the company expects that the number of hourly positions will continue to gradually decrease.
"While this is difficult news, NewPage continues to be committed to operating its U.S. businesses with an undiminished focus on providing customers with exceptional service and high quality products, running safe and efficient operations, providing employees with a healthy and safe workplace where they can learn and grow, and being a responsible and supportive community member," said Pride.
NewPage emerged from bankruptcy at the end of 2012 with a strong balance sheet, she added.
"We were able to meet all of the goals set forth when we entered bankruptcy," said Pride. "We maintained important relationships with customers and vendors, reduced the debt and interest burden, eliminated the financial burden of Port Hawkesbury and emerged as a strong, stand-alone company ready to compete and win."
The Escanaba mill employs approximately 1,050 people, according to NewPage's website; the company is headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, and has facilities in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Maine, Maryland and Kentucky.

Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter
Parrot's AR.Drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that uses Wi-Fi technology to connect to an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.
- It's a flying quadricopter controlled via an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, straightforward setup, easy to control for stable flight indoors
- Almost impossible to control with any accuracy outdoors with even slight wind, 12 minute battery life, expensive price, questionable build quality considering it does fly, and therefore crash from time to time
Bottom Line
The Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter is a toy packed with technology that is surprisingly stable and intuitive to fly. Yes, the Parrot AR.Drone is expensive, has mediocre battery life and becomes an out of control missile if used with any sort of wind. It also could be better equipped to deal with accidents. At the end of the day, this is a remote control chopper that you fly using your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. And it's pretty damn cool.
Price$ 349.00 (AUD)
Every now and then we get a product in our test centre that attracts a gathering of jaw dropped onlookers. Parrot's AR.Drone — described as a "flying video game" — is one such product. The AR.Drone is a flying "quadricopter" that is controlled via an app specially designed for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Sound cool? It is!
See photos of the Parrot AR.Drone in action.
More information on the Parrot AR.Drone Australia launch.
Technically, the Parrot AR.Drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that uses Wi-Fi technology to connect to an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch where it can be piloted using augmented reality. In reality, it is a chopper with four blades that's controlled via a specially designed app for iOS devices. The Parrot AR.Drone generates its own Wi-Fi network on-board, without the need of an Internet connection or wireless router to get started.
Setting up the AR.Drone
Set up is straightforward; simply insert the included battery into the AR.Drone, connect to its Wi-Fi network using your device and its ready to fly. You'll need a flat, stable surface for take off, as the AR.Drone utilises an ultrasound sensor to hover in mid-air when it is launched. The amount of tech included in the Drone is pretty amazing; it features two built-in cameras that stream live video, with the front-facing camera displays what the AR.Drone is seeing in front of it, and the bottom facing camera shows what is below it. The quadricopter is also fitted with an accelerometer and two gyrometers aiming to provide a smooth flight path.
The battery housing is located at the centre of the AR.Drone; simply remove the hull to access it.
The Parrot AR.Drone weighs less than 500 grams, can fly up to 18 kilometres per hour and can be controlled from up to 50 metres away. In addition to the regular Free Flight app, a third-party app called Flight Record ($5.99) is also available in the App Store, allowing the AR.Drone to record video while flying. Parrot also sells a multi-player game specifically developed for the AR.Drone called AR.Pursuit ($3.99), though you'll obviously need a friend and an extra AR.Drone to play.
Flying the AR.Drone
Once you've launched the app, and the AR.Drone has taken off, the flight of the quadricopter is controlled by moving a virtual joystick in the app and tilting the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from side to side using the built-in gyroscope. A second joystick steers the AR.Drone, and also raises and lowers its flight path. Controlling the quadricopter is definitely a steep learning curve; our first few flights ended abruptly by crashing into walls, ceilings and even people, but once you grasp its controls, the AR.Drone becomes relatively easy to manoeuvre and fly. You can easily switch between cameras in the app, and even bring up a picture-in-picture view of both cameras simultaneously.
We were extremely impressed with the AR.Drone's stability indoors; if you don't touch any of the controls once it has taken off, the quadricopter simply hovers in mid-air, awaiting a command. Keep in mind that you'll need a rather large indoor area to fly the device properly. It is capable of manoeuvring down a narrow hallway, but the air the blades generate makes it difficult to remain stable.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Over the last year, while working with many of the consumer oriented businesses – I came across various scenarios where I had to compare the role of Chief Product Officer (CPO) in comparison with the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO). While industries are well familiar with a typical CTO role and what he/she is supposed to do, the role (and of course the need) of CPO still seems to be confusing to many. Do organization need both? Is one the replacement for other? And so on.
I tried making a Google search for the job description of CPO; however could not find one. However, I did come across several search results associated with the announcements of CPO in several organization. This makes me believe that this role is still not part of main stream. Also, an interesting observation you would see when you make this search – seems like most of the industries in end-consumer interfacing/used products are the ones who are making investment in this particular role.
So what is a CPO? PTC in one of their press release has made an attempt to describe this role. One of the analogy they have used is with the role of CFO – the way CFO is to Finance in the organization, CPO is to the product. Traditionally organizations have had fragmented responsibilities in terms of product ownership within the organizations. Product Management/Product Marketing looks at the product more from the strategy and product vision perspective; CTO looks at the same product more from design and development perspective; while VP Engineering is more responsible from an execution or product development angle. Almost 80-85% of the organizations with whom I have interfaced have typically been organized in this fashion. However, I have started seeing that many organizations have started having second thoughts on the dispersion of these responsibilities. Hence the role of CPO – someone who looks at product from an end-to-end perspective; someone who can act as a visionary and at the same time be realistic in terms of execution also; seems to be getting into prominence.
IMO, there are also some other factors which is possibly forcing organizations to think from a CPO perspective.
- For many products, especially the ones in end-Consumer oriented, technology has now started becoming a second fiddle. By technology becoming second fiddle is not to say that technology is not important. I mean that in such applications it is not the technology which drives the user pattern, but it is the user behavior which tends to drive the technology and engineering. In such applications, the head of the product needs to be more nearer to the customer rather than just getting driven by technology & engineering.
- More and more products are also becoming hybrid in nature i.e. products are getting built-up because of partnerships between multiple relationships. In products such as these, the need is to have someone with his/her responsibility spanning across vision and strategy, design and development, product marketing and management, and partnership management.
- On the similar lines as above point, as Engineering and Product Development is becoming more and more commodit'ized – many ISVs today are becoming more and more dependent on their partners in helping them out on this rather than growing an in-house expertise on technology front. So from an in-house expertise perspective, organizations have started looking the role of CPO with more interest.
I also think that by investing in a role of CPO, organizations have started becoming cognizant of the fact that they need to start becoming more inclusive in their product evolution and development side – both internally and externally.
I would love to hear your thoughts – especially if you are/have played the role of CPO in your life. If you also have interacted any of the CPO out there, would love to hear your thoughts too.

Power Authority Schedules a Forum
Michael Saltzman
Printer-friendly version
January 31, 2003
ALBANY—New York Power Authority (NYPA) will conduct a
public forum March 18 on proposed revisions in preference power rates.
Preference power is hydroelectricity sold without markup to the 51 municipal
and rural cooperative electric systems in New York State, rural and domestic
customers of the Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., Rochester Gas & Electric Co.
and New York State Electric and Gas Corp., and to neighboring states under
the provisions of federal law. Proposed revisions in the rates are the first
in a decade and would reflect costs associated with major life extension
programs and relicensing efforts at the Power Authority's two major
hydroelectric power projects as well as the increased costs of producing
The forum will be held at the Oncenter, 800 South State
St. in Syracuse on Tuesday, March 18. There will be an afternoon session
from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and an evening session beginning at 7 p.m. and
running until all who wish to speak are heard.
The Power Authority, which last adjusted the preference
power rates at the beginning of 1992, is engaged in $500 million worth of
renewal and life extension work at its major hydroelectric projects, the
St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power
Project and the Niagara Power Project.
The life extension programs are designed to assure the continued reliability
of the hydroelectric projects and keep them running efficiently well into
the future. The Power Authority has already requested a new federal license
for St. Lawrence-FDR to replace the current license which expires in October
2003. It is in the process of developing a new license application for the
Niagara Project where the current license expires in 2007.
The rate adjustments will reflect results of a cost-of-service study that,
among other factors, includes changes in operating and maintenance costs
since the 1992 adjustment.
Based on the results of the cost-of-service study, the proposed rate
revisions include a refund of $4.4 million to preference power customers for
the period Dec. 18, 2001 though April 30, 2003. A new four-year rate plan
is proposed to begin May 1, 2003.
Under the proposed new rate plan, typical residential
customers of the three upstate utilities that provide the hydroelectric
power as a portion of the electricity supplied to their customers would
experience an increase of about 50 cents per month in their electric bills
by 2007 if the rate proposal is fully implemented. Typical residential
customers of municipal or rural cooperative electric systems that receive
all or most of their electricity supply from the hydroelectric projects
would experience an increase of about $2.50 cents per month by 2007 if the
rate proposal is fully implemented.
Upon full implementation by May 1, 2007, the cost of
preference power energy would remain less than 1 cent per kilowatt hour,
among the lowest rates for wholesale electricity in the nation. According
to the United States Energy Information Administration, the average
wholesale price of electricity in the nation was 5.2 cents per kilowatt hour
in mid-January, 2003.
The public forum is designed to solicit comments from
members of the public about the proposal. Those comments will be considered
by the Power Authority trustees before they take any final action on a rate
