July 2018 - Jeff Moe, Trustee
All five Board members, along with Superintendent Polly Bove and her entire staff attended the Summer Academy Graduation Ceremony on July 26. This was the ninth and final graduation ceremony of the year, in which 28 students from throughout the district participated.
"These students demonstrated determination and perseverance to complete the courses necessary for their graduation, which they were unable to complete during the regular school year due to a variety of personal reasons. Congratulations to Summer Academy Principal Jackie Corso and Assistant Principal Eric Summers on a well-run program." - Jeff Moe, Trustee
May 2018 - Jeff Moe, Trustee
In May, Trustees Jeff Moe and Hung Wei attended the Equity Showcase held at Fremont High School. A total of 39 teachers and teacher groups from all five FUHSD schools presented innovative teaching practices that they implemented this year. The presentations were very thoughtful, covering both successful and unsuccessful aspects, adjustments made and future plans. In addition, each presenter invited the audience (often other teachers and administrators) to ask questions and provide feedback, furthering the learning process.
Trustee Moe also made sure to tune in to the Monta Vista High School Boys Volleyball CCS Championship, which was streamed live on the NFHS Network. It was a close and exciting 5-set match, which Monta Vista ultimately lost to Bellarmine High School. However, Monta Vista had the last word, by defeating Bellarmine in the Norcal semifinal in another very close match. And then Monta Vista went on to win the Norcal Championship against Clovis High School in another 5-set thriller.
Trustee Moe also visited Fremont High for the Statway Class final student presentations and Homestead High School's Mythology class for the student year end presentations, which were based on Google's practice of giving employees 20% of their time to work on a project of their choosing.
"As I viewed the student presentations, I was struck by the students' enthusiasm and creativity. Not only were the students completely engaged in the projects, in some cases they enlisted the help of friends and family. Congratulations to the students and to Mr Hinton for creating a valuable learning exercise for the students. I am looking forward to next year's presentations." - Jeff Moe, Trustee

This month, Trustee Jeff Moe represented FUHSD at the Annual Saratoga State of the City event.

This month, Trustee Jeff Moe attended the Every Student Succeeding Awards Ceremony hosted by the DeAnza Charter of the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA). This program honors students from the Sunnyvale School District and the Fremont Union High School District who have overcome great personal and academic obstacles and exceeded expectations, along with the educators who have supported them in their individual journeys. Thirteen students were honored, with teachers and counselors providing a description of their accomplishments and the barriers they have overcome. Each story was an inspiration.
Trustee Moe also attended the Every 15 Minutes program at Homestead High School. The program name comes from the fact that when this program was created, a person was killed, maimed or injured by an alcohol-related traffic collision in the U.S. every 15 minutes. The purpose of the program is to provide a dramatization and simulation that allows students to reflect upon the decision to drink and drive or to get into a car with someone else who has been drinking.
Trustees Moe and Roy Rocklin also attended the Synopsys Science and Technology Championship at the San Jose Convention Center, one of the most highly regarded regional science fairs in California. Students from FUHSD were well represented at the Synopsys Championship.
"Not only is participating in the science fair fun, but, research has shown that science fair activities increase student learning in science and in a wide range of 21st century skills such as critical thinking, communication, and collaboration." - Trustee Jeff Moe

Trustee Jeff Moe offers his congratulations to both the Boys and Girls basketball teams at Lynbrook High School, which both earned berths in the CCS tournament. On February 24, he attended the Girls second-round tournament game against Leland High School. Trustee Moe shared that, "The young Lynbrook team fell behind early in the game, but never gave up. It was a hard-fought and competitive game, but Leland pulled ahead in the end to win.Congratulations on a great season and looking forward to next season."
Trustee Moe also had the pleasure of representing the FUHSD Board at the Bi-Annual Wafu School of Ikebana 48th Anniversary Flower Show dinner celebration on March 3. The Wafu School of Ikebana offers classes through FUHSD Adult Education. It is a relationship that is cherished by all at FUHSD. The dinner was attended by supporters of the school, including Akira Ichioka, Director and Consul, Consulate General of Japan, Liz Ambra, Vice Principal of FUHSD Adult School, and Darcy Paul, Mayor of Cupertino. It was an opportunity to recognize this world-renown program, and to honor the program founder and leader, Fusako Hoyrup. Throughout the weekend, hundreds of art pieces were on display at Quinlan Community Center.
On March 2, Trustee Moe attended the Lunar New Year Luncheon at Dynasty Restaurant, hosted by the Cupertino Chamber Asian American Business Council.

FBLA is a non-profit educational organization with over 250,000 members across the country preparing students for careers in fields such as business, technology, and law.

Board members Barbara Nunes, Hung Wei, Bill Wilson and Jeff Moe attended the Cupertino State of the City Address. This year, the theme was "Why We Thrive - Volunteering as Necessary for Democratic Viability."

He highlighted the work the club is doing internationally and in the community, and he recognized the members of the club Board of Directors and Cabinet.

In addition, Andrew talked about the annual STAR Awards sponsored by the chamber to honor local businesses and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the community. He announced that this year's recipient of the Citizen of the Year is FUHSD's very own Superintendent Polly Bove! The chamber next recognized two public safety officers for special contributions they have made to Cupertino: Deputy Chief Joe Parker of the Santa Clara County Fire Department and Deputy Mark Harvey of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. The final presentation was from Cupertino Mayor Darcy Paul, who focused on the importance of public service and volunteering to our community and our system of government. He encouraged everyone to give of his or her knowledge and experience.

January 2018 - Trustee Jeff Moe
This month, Trustee Jeff Moe attended a special event entitled The Girls & Guys Guide to Staying Safe in College at Homestead High School, which was sponsored by the PTSA. Speaker Kathleen Baty, a personal safety expert, shared some of her own personal experiences and provided advice in the areas of personal property safety, binge drinking, sexual assault and social media safety.
Trustee Moe also attend a presentation at Fremont High School entitled A Healthy Mind: A Discussion with Parents on Teen Mental Health. This event was a part of the continuing partnership between Fremont Union High School District and El Camino Hospital. The purpose of the event was to raise awareness and educate the community, particularly parents, on this important topic. The presentation focused on the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions, suicide prevention education, opportunities to communicate in a healthy way with teens and insights on how your primary care doctor can support families. Presentations were given by Dr. Glenn Teeter and Dr. Kelly Troiano from El Camino Hospital. After the presentations, there was an opportunity for parents to ask questions.
"I was impressed how El Camino Hospital, through their pediatricians, focus not only on physical health, but also emotional health. They are another excellent resource for both parents and students when questions of emotional health arise." - Jeff Moe, Trustee
November/December 2017 - Jeff Moe, Trustee
On November 27, Trustee Jeff Moe attended a talk by Dr. Jean Twenge, hosted by the Monta Vista PTSA. Dr. Twenge talked about generational shifts between four generations: iGen (1994 to present), Millennials (1980 to 1993), GenX (1965-1980) and Baby Boomers (1945-1964). Most of the discussion centered on iGen, focusing especially on the dramatic change in behavior since 2011, the point at which smart phones became popular.
Here are some characteristics of iGen:
- They spend a large amount of time texting, online and using social media;
- Their smart phone use has reduced the amount of sleep they get;
- Slower to mature than older generations;
- More time on social media versus face time and sleep; and
- Higher incidence of mental health issues, as screens are linked to stress, depression and other mental health issues.
iGen members are more protected than earlier generations and less independent. They exhibit less "adult behavior" than older generations at their age, such as getting their driver's licenses and going out without family. As a result, they are less independent and have less confidence after high school. The optimal amount of screen time is just one hour per day, but up to two hours per day is considered okay. The best stress reducers for iGen include sports and exercise, face-to-face interaction, sleep, sunshine and omega-3 fatty acids.
Trustee Moe also attended the Homestead High School Holiday Orchestra Concert on Dec. 6, which featured fantastic musical performances, and the District Office and Adult Education Potluck Holiday Luncheon on Dec. 8, with entertainment provided by the Monta Vista High School choir.
October 2017
This month, Trustee Jeff Moe attended a special presentation sponsored by the Santa Clara County School Boards Association (SCCSBA) on equity in education. Ryan Smith, Executive Director of The Education Trust-West, spoke to the group and shared some data which reinforced just how important attaining a high school diploma and higher education is for all students. Mr. Smith shared that 68% of African American men that do not graduate from high school will spend some time in jail, while almost no African American men that earn bachelor's degrees spend any time in jail. Mr. Smith also discussed unconscious bias and the role it plays in our education system, leading some educators to have lower expectations for specific groups of students.
Trustees Roy Rocklin and Jeff Moe attended a meeting with FUHSD leadership and leaders from a high school in Hsinchu, Taiwan, as part of the Sister City Exchange Program.
Trustee Moe and Superintendent Polly Bove attended the annual Kings Academy Football game on October 6 honoring Sunnyvale High School and each of its graduating classes.

Board members Hung Wei and Jeff Moe attended the annual Double-Tenth Celebration in San Jose. This celebration commemorates the 106th anniversary of Wuchang Uprising, which led to the decline of imperial rule and the birth of the modern Chinese republic. Community leaders and elected officials throughout the South Bay participated.
Board members Bill Wilson and Jeff Moe, Superintendent Polly Bove and Assistant Superintendent Tom Avvakumovitz met with City of Sunnyvale Council member Nancy Smith and acting Sunnyvale City Manager Teri Silva to discuss topics of mutual interest. City of Sunnyvale Transportation and Traffic Manager, Shahid Abbas, spoke about the Safe Routes to School program. He shared how in the past years the City of Sunnyvale has invested $8 million on Safe Routes to school, focusing on bike and pedestrian routes. The primary focus has been with the elementary schools, although Shahib shared that the City is interested in supporting safe routes to school for High School students in Sunnyvale as well. The next steps include the development of protected bike lanes and signal upgrades. He encouraged parents and school administrators to contact him if they have any suggestions for safe routes to school. The group also discussed creative housing alternatives for teachers, construction projects at FUHSD and a possible partnership with the City of Sunnyvale, FUHSD, Foothill College and the University of California – Santa Cruz to establish a new and innovative college and career pathway for students in Sunnyvale and beyond.
September 2017
This month, Trustees Roy Rocklin and Jeff Moe, as well as Associate Superintendent Graham Clark,attended the Annual Builders BBQ hosted by the Santa Clara and San Benito County Building and Construction Trades Council.

Also, Cupertino offers 3.6 acres of park space for every 1000 residents. Other topics discussed included ways to share our facilities to optimize the benefits for the community and to provide safe routes to school, which benefits both students and residents by reducing traffic. The city has budgeted $6 million to support safe biking and walking to school.
Trustee Jeff Moe and Superintendent Polly Bove attended the Bay Area Diwali Festival in Cupertino's Memorial Park. Diwali is a traditional Indian festival of thanksgiving; it celebrates the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, hope over despair, and good over evil.

This month, Board President Jeff Moe attended the very successful Back to School Night at Homestead High School, the quarterly Citizens Oversight Committee on the bond program, the annual Silicon Valley Fall Festival Student Art Exhibit, the City of Cupertino Housing Speaker Panel and the 35th Annual Fremont High School Watermelon Run, where he took home the top prize in the Board of Trustees category for the fourth year in a row!
"Homestead's Back to School Night began with a delicious baked potato bar, a fundraiser for the boosters. I also sat in on a few classroom presentations. First was Ms. Shreve, who is teaching Physics Honors. Her enthusiasm for the subject was contagious. After listening to her hands-on approach to teaching, I wished that I could attend her class. She demonstrated how she uses the "Plickers" application, a cutting-edge tool for real-time learning assessment. Next, I attended an Algebra 2 class taught by Ms. Vakili, who demonstrated warmth, approachability, and determination to ensure that all students succeed." - Jeff Moe, Board President

July 2017 - Bill Wilson, Trustee
"I had the opportunity, along with several other board members, to attend the graduation ceremony for the Middle College program that FUHSD provides in conjunction with De Anza College. The program provides an alternative for students looking for an opportunity to take a combination of courses taught by FUHSD teachers and regular De Anza classes. While they are in the program, many students still participate in activities at their home high school site. It was wonderful to see the camaraderie among the graduates and hear from the outstanding student speakers. It is clear that these students are well prepared for success as they move on to the next step in their education and careers." - Bill Wilson, Trustee
June/July 2017 - Jeff Moe, Board President
This summer, Board President Moe attended the Adult School Graduation, the Middle College Graduation at De Anza College and the Opening Ceremony of the 33rd Annual Taiwanese and Chinese American Athletic Tournament at Cupertino High School.

The hard work and perseverance of this group of students is inspiring to all." - Jeff Moe, Board President

In June, Board President Jeff Moe attended an FUHSD Alumni Dinner hosted by FUHS Foundation members, a meeting with Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese to explore the possibility of FUHSD utilizing the county's School Linked Services program and the Lynbrook High School graduation ceremony.
Board President Moe also participated in a video conference with staff from the Wake County School District in North Carolina in order to exchange information about initiatives that have had a positive effect in our respective school districts. FUHSD shared information about several of our professional development programs, including Skillful Teacher and Courageous Leaders, while the team from Wake County presented on their Teacher Leader Corp initiative, Instructional Blueprint and three-year Professional Development Plan.
"FUHSD is a wonderfully successful school district. Even so, we cannot rest on our laurels. Like any organization, we either continue to improve or we stagnate. One way to seek improvement is by learning from other school districts. We already have access to information on local school districts, so why not reach out to a school district that is different than us, both in size and geography, and exchange ideas, successes and struggles." - Jeff Moe, Board President
May 2016 - Hung Wei, Trustee
In May, Trustee Hung Wei attended the first annual GOALS Program Recognition Lunch at Fremont High School, the annual Art Showcase at the District Office, the Cupertino-Fremont-Sunnyvale Council PTA Honorary Service Award Dinner, CSEA Recognition Dinner, AVID Senior Recognition, Cupertino Chamber of Commerce STAR Awards, Exploring Equity Showcase, meeting with the Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus in Silicon Valley and the Spring Jazz Concert at Homestead High School.
"At Fremont High School, AVID seniors were recognized by their teachers and peers in a heart-warming event that brought tears to many! The graduates thanked their AVID teachers for their tireless and never-give-up guidance over the four years of their high school lives, some of which were filled with many challenges. Emotions ran high when the teachers spoke with tears to their graduating students and as the seniors circled around their teachers with a group embrace. Most of these students are going to college because of the four years of AVID class (Advancement Via Individual Determination) – and many are the first in the family to attend college. VID gave them the training, inspiration and hope that they needed in order to reach for college and beyond. Every year, I look forward to attending the AVID Senior Recognition to hear the heart-felt journeys of the AVID students and their teachers, who travel together with the goal of attaining higher education and success after high school. This always reminds me of the important work a school board member needs to strive for – to provide the best opportunities for teens to learn, grow and aim high, especially for under-privileged students." - Hung Wei, Trustee
May 2017 - Jeff Moe, Board President
This month, Board President Jeff Moe attended the 10th annual English Learner Speech Contest at Fremont High School, the annual GOALS Student Recognition Lunch, the Cupertino-Fremont-Sunnyvale Council of PTA's 58th Annual Honorary Service Awards Ceremony and Dinner (where Cupertino High School Principal Kami Toberlain received the Administrator of the Year award), the 2017 Taiwanese Cuisine Expo, the Cupertino vs. Monta Vista baseball game (with Cupertino moving forward to CCS), staff recognition lunches at each of our school sites and the New Teacher Celebration hosted by the Fremont Educational Association.
"The typical profile of a GOALS student is one who immigrated to the US at a young age and quickly acquired English verbal skills. However, their English reading and writing skills did not develop as well, partly because of a disconnect with their early educators. The lag in reading and writing skill development often had an adverse effect in other areas of their education. Through leading-edge assessments of students' literacy skill level, students are placed in the GOALS program. But that is only the first step in the process. The most inspirational part of the process is how hard the students work to improve their literacy skills while maintaining their regular courses, and how dedicated the teachers are to encouraging the students in the process. Every awardee, many of whom had only limited success in their early years of school, now aspire to continue their education onward through college." - Jeff Moe, Board President

May 2017 - Roy Rocklin, Trustee
This month, Trustee Roy Rocklin attended the Homestead High School Orchestra Concert. Trustee Rocklin shared that the HHS students, led by John Burn and Jeffrey Morton, were excellent. The concert included a Sinfonia by Mendelssohn which he wrote when he was a teenager (about the same age as the student performers) and several pieces featuring soloists: Meiqi Wu on flute, Elizabeth La on Viola and Julius Buonnano on cello. The concert concluded with a rousing rendition of Beethoven's Egmont Overture.
Trustee Rocklin also served as a judge for the English Learner Speech Contest at Fremont High School.
"I was impressed by the ability of our EL students to present a memorized speech in English, which is to them a foreign language. I was moved by a speech delivered by a girl from Sri Lanka. She spoke about her experience as a refuge from the civil war in her former country and about living in a refugee camp in Thailand. It reminded me of the challenges immigrants face in America. I am proud of the Fremont Union High School District teachers, staff and other students who welcome these students and help in their transition to becoming Americans." - Roy Rocklin, Trustee
April 2017 - Jeff Moe, Board President
This month, Board President Jeff Moe attended a panel at Comic Con entitled, The Future of Education: How immersive, interactive 3D technologies are changing the way students learn. The speaker, Mark Andersen, a Co-Founder of Lifeliqe, creator of virtual reality and mixed reality devices, has put over 1,500 students, teachers and librarians into Lifeliqe's learning experiences in virtual reality and mixed reality. Lifeliqe is headquartered in San Francisco and most of their field work has been with Bay Area schools.
"What struck me was the potential for this tool to help students in Special Education. Just like the touch pad was a break-through product in Special Education, virtual reality and mixed reality could also have a big impact." - Jeff Moe, Board President
President Moe also attended the Fremont Education Association (FEA) dinner, where the District's teaching staff and retirees are celebrated, the Santa Clara County School Board Association's 2017 Hoffmann Awards program, the Fantastics Rally at Fremont High School and an open house at West Valley Community College featuring an exhibit on California Wild Flowers.

April 2017 - Barbara Nunes, Trustee
Over 120 community members were in attendance at the Hat's Off Luncheon organized by Quota International of Cupertino. Board member Barbara Nunes was chair of the event and acted as emcee. The Quota Club raises funds to help the hearing and speech impaired as well as disadvantaged women and children in this area.
April 2017 - Jeff Moe, Board President
In April, Board President Jeff Moe attended a discussion with Board colleague Bill Willson, Superintendent Bove and legal counsel around the subject of ride-sharing for students. Adopting some type of ride-sharing solution could potentially ease traffic around our schools and help solve some of the transportation challenges currently faced by parents and students. Trustee Moe also attended the City of Saratoga State of the City address, where the City Council honored their Parks and Recreation teachers and the many faith expressions in the community, and the annual Red, White and Blue Awards Ceremony at Lynbrook High School.
"My favorite part of the Red, White and Blue awards was watching the wide variety of student styles, mannerisms, expressions and cultures. Despite their differences, each student seemed comfortable in their own skin. To me, that demonstrates a healthy and well-run environment where differences in people are accepted and embraced." - Jeff Moe, Board President

One more urine usage; you can use it to flush out deep cuts and wounds. The force of the stream helps remove debris and it's actually sterile.
My home remedy for sinus infections is to simmer plantain leaves (plantago spp) in water until it turns green. Filter, allow to cool, then place in spray bottle. 2-3 squirts each side twice a day clears it right up. I've had that work when anitbiotics would not. Plantain has very good anti-bacterial properties and is good for open sores, cuts and wounds as well. For bee stings just chew a leaf and place on sting, in 5 minutes you will forget it ever happened. Did I mention that ticks don't like plantain? Just like for the sinuses, boil some down and place in spray bottle. Squirt this liberally over shoes and pant legs (it will stain green!), this is the only non-toxic method I know for keeping even seed ticks off.
I swear this plant is amazing and grows in everyone's yard. Or if you're hungry you can just eat it.

Breaking News: Mossad behind Kidnappings of RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS!
New Intelligence on the Connection Between The Two U.S. Soldiers and Russian Diplomats Kidnapped in Iraq and British Intelligence
The assassination of the two U.S. soldiers in Iraq has been linked to a private contractor that employed Team 121 a.k.a. British-Israeli-Russian mercenaries. This gang, hired out by Mega-MOSSAD elements inside the Pentagon, has been directed to engage in counter-insurgency inside Iraq but have actually created terrorists in Iraq for the purpose of countering the ninety percent nationalistic resistance in the country.
It can now be reported that the kidnapping of the Russian diplomats from Baghdad ties into the kidnapping and murder of the two U.S soldiers. Both the Russian diplomats and the U.S. soldiers knew too much about Team 121 and the tie-ins between alleged terrorist Zarqawi and British MI-6 Blackwater a.k.a. Team 121.
Note: Bushfraud himself flew secretly to Iraq to personally grab documents that link Zarqawi to Team 121 Blackwater. It should also be mentioned that these two Russian diplomats were blackmailing the current Unity Government in Iraq vis a vis the role of Blackwater and the financial fraud involving the private contractors inside Iraq.
Reference current Iraq Defense Ministry which reported the U.S. soldiers death in Iraq is nothing more than a British Intelligence nest . Reference, it can now also be reported that the documents taken out of Iraq by Bushfraud included smoking gun evidence linking the training of Zarqawi to U.S. C.I.A. custodial stooge Ali Mohammed; recently released by the U.S. Justice Dept.
The U.S.A. soldiers kidnapped and murdered in Iraq were part of a secret U.S. anti-bush Intelligence team determined to get to the bottom of the foreign mercenary treason and the source for the I.E.D.s a.k.a. roadside bombs coming into Iraq for the purpose of killing Americans.
Here at Cloak and Dagger, we have already connected the dots. It is the Bosnian Defense Fund linked to Richard Perle and Douglas Feith along with Tim Spicer and Victor Bout which have direct links to the British security firm, The Olive Group, with its headquarters in Dubai U.A.E. that are responsible for the I.E.D.s in Iraq.
Tim Spicer linked to British Defense contracting company Aegis. Olive Group is nothing more than a subsidiary for Blackwater British Mi6 Blackstone along with Dubai Ports World and the Israeli MOSSAD Zim Corporation were used to transfer the I.E.D.s from U.A.E. to Bosnia. The middle men involved in the I.E.D. trafficking was Pakistani Intelligence a.k.a. the Khan Mi6 pipeline.
Reference Dubai Ports World was the noted company that Bushfraud wanted to hand the entire U.S. Ports system too. Zim Corp, a noted Israeli MOSSAD company, also tied to this treason was the firm that was warned by their sister MOSSAD firm New Jersey Urban Moving Systems to leave the WTC 30 days before the 9-11 attack. MOSSAD agent, Michael Chertoff covered this up. Chertoff, dual citizen is now head of U.S. Homeland Security.
P.S. Private British Olive Group aircraft were allowed to fly into Iraq with the I.E.D.s disguised as food subsidies. This was the same technique used in the original Daddy Bush Iraq gate scandal that was directly arming Saddam during the Reagan Administration in the 80's. Note: President Ronald Reagan of Irish ancestry survived two genuine Blackwater assassination attempts directed against him by British Intelligence and Daddy Bush. Ask the junk yard dogs or the trolls under the bridges about this.
P.P.S. The Bosnian Defense Fund is the source for the I.E.D.s in Iraq and have been also linked to Riggs Bank, Washington, D.C., a noted Bush-Clinton crime syndicate parking lot for disguised gold and oil derivatives tied to the Carlyle and Carousel Groups (Oil Trusts in Saudi Arabia). This was set up with stolen U.S. Treasury funds with tie-ins to the British and Spanish Royal families and the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Note it was King Juan Carlos of Spain that congratulated Bushfraud on his theft of the year 2000 presidential election. HOW DARE YOU YOU TYRANTS AND CONSPIRATORIAL KINGS.
P.P.P.S. Former British Home Secretary Robin Cook stated in his own words..."Al Qaeda is not a terrorist organization it is a group of CIA swindlers tied to massive arms and drug smuggling with their origin in the Mushahadeen and Bosnia."
Note did Dr. Kelly confront British P.M. Tony Dun Blaine Blair with this? The answer is yes. Dr. Kelly, also of Irish origin, is now dead.

|This article is about the actress. You may be looking for the Comic Series character, the TV Series character, the Road to Survival character, or the producer.
Denise Michelle Crosby is an American actress who portrayed Mary in AMC's The Walking Dead.
She is an American actress best known for portraying Security Chief Tasha Yar in Season One of Star Trek: The Next Generation as well as Yar's own daughter, the half-Romulan Commander Sela, in subsequent seasons. She is also known for her numerous film and television roles and for starring in and producing the film Trekkies. She is the granddaughter of entertainer Bing Crosby.
Early Life
Crosby was born in Hollywood, California, the daughter of Marilyn Scott and actor Dennis Crosby. Her paternal grandfather was actor/singer/comedian Bing Crosby. She attended LeConte Junior High School with actress Rita Wilson (wife of Tom Hanks).
Personal Life
Crosby was married to Geoffrey Edwards (son of director Blake Edwards) from 1983 to 1990. She appeared in a few of Blake Edwards's films, including 10, Skin Deep, Trail of the Pink Panther, and Curse of the Pink Panther. Crosby is currently married to Ken Sylk. They have one son, August William Sylk (b. 1998).
Crosby's first high-profile role was as Lisa Davis on the soap opera Days of our Lives. She has appeared as Dr. Gretchen Kelly in three episodes of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and as a sheriff on The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. episode "No Man's Land". In the early 1990s, she played the role of the mayor in the short-lived series Key West. She also appeared in two episodes of the cable television series Red Shoe Diaries, playing a different character in each episode. Crosby had a small recurring role in Aaron Spelling's prime time drama, Models Inc, a spin-off from Melrose Place. She was a guest star on the eighth season of The X-Files for two episodes, in which she plays a doctor who took examinations of Agent Scully's baby. In 1991, she was a guest star in "The Deadly Nightshade", a first season The Flash episode as Dr. Rebecca Frost. In 2006, she was a guest star in Dexter as Dexter's first victim. Crosby had a recurring role in Southland as Detective Dan "Sal" Salinger's wife. One of her very first film appearances was in the 1982 Nick Nolte/Eddie Murphy film 48 Hrs. In 1986, she played a robotics engineer, Nora Hunter, in the science fiction movie Eliminators, the leading role in the film Dolly Dearest in 1992, appeared in Stephen King's Pet Sematary and Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. She starred in the 2002 western horror film Legend of the Phantom Rider. Crosby starred in the Tobe Hooper horror film Mortuary. She also appeared in the 1998 movie Deep Impact starring Elijah Wood.
Star Trek
In 1987, Crosby was cast in the role of Tasha Yar for the much publicized return of Star Trek to television in the syndicated series Star Trek: The Next Generation. She had been chosen to play Counsellor Deanna Troi before Gene Roddenberry switched the roles that she and Marina Sirtis had initially been given. Initially one of the top-billed characters and featured prominently in episodes such as "The Naked Now" and "Code of Honor", the role of Tasha gradually moved into the background as other members of the ensemble cast became a greater focus of the series. It has been reported that Crosby grew disillusioned with her role because of its "Uhura-like" status: "I was struggling with not being able to do much with the character. I had all these ideas and couldn't do them. I was just stage dressing." Ultimately, Crosby decided to leave the show. Her character was killed by the alien creature Armus during the episode "Skin of Evil." She had appeared in 22 episodes when she left. In later years, Crosby approached the TNG production team with the idea of reprising her role of Tasha Yar. This came to be in season three's "Yesterday's Enterprise" in which an alternate timeline is created after the USS Enterprise-C, the predecessor to TNG's USS Enterprise-D, comes forward 22 years in time. Yar joined the Enterprise-C before it returned to its own time. During the documentary Trekkies, Crosby commented that her Tasha Yar character had to die in order to get "the best episodes." Crosby also guest starred in several other TNG episodes such as "Redemption" as Romulan Commander Sela, the half-human, half-Romulan daughter of Tasha Yar, who had been taken prisoner in the past while on board the Enterprise-C. Crosby later reprised the role in the Star Trek: Armada video game. Tasha Yar was also featured in the final episode of the series, titled "All Good Things...", in which Captain Picard is moving back and forth through time, and encounters Tasha during the events just prior to the pilot episode. Crosby produced and narrated the 1997 documentary Trekkies, followed by the 2003 sequel Trekkies 2. Both films star Crosby, who conducts interviews with devotees of Star Trek, more commonly known as "Trekkies." Along with other Star Trek actors, she has also appeared as Dr. Jenna Yar (grandmother of Natasha Yar) in the fan produced series Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II.

Consumer information
The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an electronic register.
- Secured parties can register details about their security interests in the PPSR (including details of the debtor)
- Subject to privacy rules and controls, people can search the PPSR to find out about security interests in personal property
- Secured parties discharge (remove) their security interests from the PPSR when the money (for example) has been repaid
There are several situations where you need to know about the PPSR
- When you are buying an item of personal property - especially if you are buying something second hand. If you purchase personal property that is subject to a security interest, the secured party may be able to repossess the goods from you.
- When you buy personal property on hire purchase, or use personal property as security for a loan or another type of credit providing transaction, the secured party will probably register details of the security interest in the PPSR. Those details include some of your personal details, as the debtor. In particular the registration will include:
- your name
- your date of birth
- your address
The information registered will also include a description of the personal property.
The PPSR does not record financial details of the transaction, for example, the amount borrowed or the value of the personal property.
Learn more about
What to expect when you are the debtor
When you buy personal property on hire purchase, or use personal property as security for a loan or another type of credit providing transaction, the secured party will probably register details of the security interest in the PPSR. You may have new obligations and responsibilities as a result of entering into a security agreement. You are also entitled to certain information.
Buying a motor vehicle
Before buying a car privately you should check to ensure there is no money owing on it. If you are buying a car from a registered Motor Vehicle Trader, you shouldn't need to search the PPSR, however it may still make good sense to do such a search.
Buying other goods
If you buy personal property that is subject to a security interest registered on the PPSR, it may be repossessed to pay off the debt. This debt may have been incurred by the previous owner but you may still lose your asset if the previous owner has not repaid the debt in full.
Change demands
If the debtor, or other person with an interest in the collateral, discovers that any of the security interest's details recorded on the PPSR are wrong, they have the right to ask them to be corrected. In certain circumstances they can take the step of lodging a change demand to formally request correction of the registered details.
Searching the PPSR
There are many different reasons why you might want to search the PPSR. A secured party is likely to search the PPSR as part of the processes leading up to entering into a security agreement. Consumers may search the PPSR before buying an item of personal property to check that there is no money owing.

Crook County edges McLoughlin 6-3, face Gladiators in Class 4A state softball semifinals
The Crook County Cowgirls knew that Friday's quarterfinal softball matchup at the McLoughlin Pioneers was going to be tough.
After all, the Pioneers had the third seed in the playoffs, and have a history of playoff victories.
McLoughlin won the state championship in 2014 and 2015 and lost a close game in the state championship in 2016.
However, the Cowgirls were up to the challenge, using a four-run fifth inning to take control of the game as they came away with a 6-3 win over the Pioneers to advance to the state semifinals for the first time in school history.
"Oh my god, there are no words," Crook County head coach Jessica Cross said following the game. "I'm speechless. I have head to toe goose bumps right now. I just couldn't be more proud of the girls and the composure that they held today. We are making school history."
Crook County took advantage of control problems by McLoughlin starting pitcher McKewnna Stallings to jump out to an early lead.
Crook County leadoff hitter Abby Dalton popped out to second base to start the game. Then Matney Searcy singled to right. Searcy went to second on a wild pitch before Aspen Christiansen, McKuenzie McCormick and Hailey Smith all walked, as Searcy walked home to score the first run of the game.
When Stallings' first pitch to Emma Ackley was called a ball, McLoughlin head coach Nicole Christian went to her bull pen, bringing in Sydney Earls to relieve Stallings.
Earls also got off to a shaky start, walking Ackley, to score the Cowgirls' second run of the inning. However, the Pioneers got out of the inning when Ashley Owens hit a sizzling shot down the third base line. Pioneer third baseman Micha Fortune grabbed the ball and fired to Mallory Copeland at home for the second out of the inning. Copeland then turned and hurled the ball to first, just barely beating Owens to the bag, ending the inning.
"This was a really tough crowd," Cross said. "They have some serious speed, and they have some amazing players that can put the ball down. They run the quickest offense that we have ever seen. We knew what to expect, and we knew that we had to come in in that first inning and we had to put pressure on them and we did that."
Fortune, the Pioneer's leadoff hitter, then singled on what had been called an illegal pitch. The ball stopped no more than 3 feet in front of Crook County catcher Caitlyn Elliott, but Fortune used her speed to beat the throw to first.
"We worked on preparing for their speed yesterday by having our runners start up there instead of at the plate," Crook County first baseman Emma Ackley said, pointing about 5 feet down the first base line. "And they were still slower than that one lead off girl, she was so fast."
Fortune stole second base, then advanced to third on the second illegal pitch call of the inning on Crook County starting pitcher McKuenzie McCormick.
Prior to Friday's game, McCormick had only been called for one illegal pitch all season.
McCormick then struck out Rachael Lyon for the first out of the inning. However, Fortune scored on a wild pitch to make the score 2-1. Ashlyn Marly walked and Copeland singled to left, putting runners on the corners.
Crook County left fielder Hailey Smith then made an uncharacteristic mistake as she misjudged a ball off the bat of Brooke Smiley, letting the ball fall just behind her.
Marly scored on the play, however, Smith quickly recovered and threw a strike to third as Searcy tagged out Britney Wells, who came in to pinch run for Copeland.
Smiley advanced to second on the play. Sydney Richwine then laid down a bunt, however, McCormick made a sterling defensive play, fielding the ball cleanly and throwing Richwine out at first to end the inning with the score tied 2-2.
"We have spent the entire season focusing on one inning at a time, one play at a time, one pitch at a time, and that's what the girls did," Cross said. "They knew that it was really early in the game and it was a brand new ball game. We tied that inning, but we had more innings to win because that's what we were focusing on is winning one inning at a time."
Earls retired the Cowgirls in order in the second, before McLoughlin threatened again in the bottom half of the inning.
With one out, McKenna Yensen hit a bloop single to right, just over the glove of a leaping Crook County second baseman Kalyn Martinez. Katilyn Slusarenko then walked. Yensen and Slusarenko advanced to second and third on McCormick's second wild pitch of the game. Then came perhaps the key play of the game. Fortune hit a hard shot to short. A charging Christiansen fired the ball to home where Elliot tagged Yensen out, saving a run.
The Cowgirls then got out of the inning as Lyon grounded out to McCormick.
Earls retired the Cowgirls in order again in the top half of the third inning.
The Pioneers threatened again in the bottom half of the inning, loading the bases as Copeland and Richwine walked and Faith Kelly reached base on an infield single.
However, once again, Christiansen made a great play, stopping a hard shot to short and throwing home for the force out and the third out of the inning.
"It just wasn't in the cards for us," Christian said following the game. "We left 11 runners on this game. Crook County came, they brought their A game and we just didn't execute, but for the four seasons, we've been one of the top teams in the state. We're still in the playoffs, and we're still one of the best eight teams."
It was Crook County's turn to make some noise in the fourth inning.
Smith doubled to right center field, then Ackley doubled to left center. However, a cautious Smith didn't leave second until the ball hit the ground, so Yensen, McLoughlin's center fielder, was able to get the ball to the infield in time to hold Smith at third.
Owens then hit a weak line drive to short left field where Slusarenko made a running catch.
Then, Martinez hit a weak ground ball to Earls in the pitching circle and Smith initially broke for home. Earls whirled toward third and fired the ball to Fortune, who made a diving tag of Smith. Ackley ran all the way to third on the play, thinking that Smith was going home, then retreated to second, thinking that Smith was safe. Martinez raced nearly to second, then had to retreat to first.
Earls then struck out pinch hitter Jordan Elliott to get out of the inning without giving up a run.
Fortune reached base on a bunt single in the bottom half of the fourth, then stole second. However, Lyon popped up a bunt attempt, which was caught by Searcy before Ashlyn Marly grounded out to short to end the inning.
Then came the decisive fifth inning where the Cowgirls exploded for four runs to break the game wide open.
Dalton walked to start the inning. Searcy then laid down what looked like a perfect sacrifice bunt. However, Fortune misfired on her throw to first, overthrowing Smiley at first.
With runners on first and second, Christian called time out and replaced Earls on the mound with Stallings.
Still struggling with her control, Stallings walked Christiansen on four pitches to load the bases.
Christian immediately went to her bull pen again, pulling Copeland out from behind the plate and moving her to the pitching circle.
McCormick then singled to right, scoring a pair of runs.
McCormick hit the ball so hard that Marly should have been able to throw her out at first. However, Marly's throw was off line and a hustling McCormick raced to second as Christiansen went to third.
Smith then hit a shot to short, and Richwine fired a strike to home. Christiansen attempted to retreat to third, but was caught in a rundown where Fortune eventually made a diving tag as Christiansen dove for home plate. The play by Fortune saved a run, however, McCormick advanced to third and Smith hustled to second.
Ackley then hit her second consecutive double, scoring Christiansen and McCormick to make the score 6-2. Owens then hit a ball to Copeland in the pitching circle, who threw to third where Fortune tagged Ackley out.
"I knew we were going to win after that rally," Ackley said. "Every inning felt really close because they are a good-hitting team and even though we weren't making any mistakes or anything, they were still getting runs. But we just focusing on making the plays. It's so awesome."
Copeland finally got out of the inning as Martinez hit a ground ball to Richwine in the whole. Richwine then flipped the ball to Kelly at second for the easy force out.
Trailing by four runs, the Pioneers didn't go down quietly.
Copeland ripped a double to right to start the bottom half of the inning. Once again, Wells came in to pinch run for Copeland and advanced to third on McCormick's third wild pitch of the game.
McCormick responded by striking out Smiley, but Elliott dropped the ball, and Smiley raced safely to first as Wells scored on the play.
McCormick then struck out Richwine, however, once again, Elliott was unable to handle the pitch. She quickly recovered, throwing Richwine out at first, however, Smiley went to second.
The Cowgirls were able to get out of the inning without giving up any additional runs as Kelly popped out to center and Yensen grounded out to third.
The Cowgirls had a chance to break the game wide open in the sixth inning. However, a line shot by Dalton was speared by Kelly, who threw to first, doubling Jillian Denney off, ending the threat.
Slusarenko walked to open the bottom half of the inning for the Pioneers. Fortune then laid down a bunt and a throwing error left runners on the corners. Fortune then stole second before McCormick was able to retire the next three batters in order to end the threat.
Copeland retired the Cowgirls in order in the top of the seventh.
The Pioneers had one final threat as Richwine singled in the bottom half of the inning, but once again, McCormick was able to pitch her way out of trouble as they closed out the game for her 19th win of the year.
"I feel really good about how we played because usually we slow down a bit, and I don't think that we slowed down at all this game," Smith said. "I feel really excited because it's my senior year, and it's awesome."
McCormick finished the game with seven strikeouts but gave up an uncharacteristic eight hits, five walks, three wild pitches and two illegal pitches.
Still, Cross was extremely pleased with the way she performed.
"We really wouldn't be here without her," she said. "Seeing her fight through that strike zone today and seeing her hold her composure through that strike zone — that's an obstacle that you battle, but you can't control it. McKuenzie is working on focusing on the things that you can control, so she worked around it, and she fought back from it, and she just did an amazing job."
Meanwhile, the Cowgirls finished with seven hits in the game, including two each by Searcy and Ackley.
With the win, the Cowgirls improved to 20-5, while the Pioneers' season ends with an 18-7 record.
"We've just been battling a lot," a proud Christian said following the game. "Copeland just got off pneumonia, she's still not healthy, and we didn't even think that we would have her this week. We've got strep, just a lot of sickness, and we lost some family members to deaths this week, so our team's been battling a lot. But, that's my team, they just fight, they play for each other. I mean we don't even call it team, we call it family. I think that's the atmosphere that we've built in this town. Our crowd is awesome, and I can't stress enough that we are family and when someone is down, we are going to pick them up. That's our family out there, and we are not going to let them down."
Cross was equally proud of her team.
"Seeing the girls' hard work payoff is special," she said. "This is my first group of kids and to see all of their hard work over the last four years, and three years, and two years, and seeing them coming together in this moment and seeing what they are capable and how they believe in themselves, that's what it's about, that's why we coach."
The Cowgirls will host Gladstone, a surprise 3-0 winner over No. 2 seed, and defending state champion Banks in the semifinals on Tuesday, May 30, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
La Grande will play at Henley in the other semifinal game.
The two winners will meet on Saturday, June 3 at the Oregon State University softball complex in Corvallis at a time yet to be determined.
"Words cannot describe how excited I am," Searcy said. "Especially going into a game like this where this is a pretty intimidating crowd. But for us to battle through that and win is awesome. I think that this team by far has been the best team I've played on. We keep our heads in the game and we power through everything."

The UK science community has praised the contribution of David Willetts in the role of the Science and Universities Minister, after information emerged that he had resigned rather than being sacked by David Cameron.
Having served as the UK's Science and Universities minister since the formation of David Cameron's government in 2010, Willetts has been commended for standing up for scientists like no other minister before him, despite not having background in science and technology.
"David Willetts is one of the UK's sharpest and most talented politicians; we've been extraordinarily privileged to have him as the UK's science minister for the past four years," said Imran Khan, chief executive of the British Science Association, after learning that Willetts, who helped to promote cooperation between British academia and industry, had resigned.
"We in the science sector like to moan about there not being enough scientists in Parliament, but it was obvious from early on that Willetts - despite not having had much to do with science previously - developed a genuine passion for the subject."
Known in the Conservative Party as "two brains", Willetts is thought to be behind David Cameron's doctrine of 'modern conservatism' - combining free-market capitalism with social conscience.
"David Willetts was seen throughout the science community as an excellent minister - he has been an intelligent advocate for science who really enjoyed his brief, and he worked hard to make the case that science has a strong role to play in our future prosperity and should be adequately supported," said John Womersley, head of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), which provides Government funding for big science projects in the fields of nuclear and particle physics, space and astronomy.
"His commitment to new capital investment has given a major boost to science projects and I very much hope his departure doesn't in any way compromise the Government's commitments in this area."
Willetts will be replaced by Greg Clark, who keeps his role as Minister of State for the Cabinet Office responsible for cities and local growth.

At 6-foot-9, Perris Blackwell is not the tallest player on the Washington Huskies basketball team. At 275 pounds, he's obviously not the fastest.
The senior forward has neither C.J. Wilcox's supple touch as a shooter, nor Nigel Williams-Goss' flash as a passer.
And yet, despite not dominating any phase of the game, Blackwell offers skills that defy the hulk-in-the-low-post stereotype. Take his stat-sheet line from the Huskies' 85-66 victory Saturday over Idaho State at Hec Edmundson Pavilion: 20 points, seven rebounds, two steals, a blocked shot and two assists.
While the rebounds were expected – Blackwell began the game as the Pac-12 leader in offensive rebounds – the assists were indicative of an athlete any coach in any sport covets: a big guy with the coordination to be called nimble.
Blackwell's second dish, midway through the second half, found him hustling down the floor on a well-defended fastbreak. Instead of forcing the issue underneath the basket, Blackwell noticed Williams-Goss open along the right baseline.
On an afternoon when Idaho State's 1-3-1 zone forced the Huskies into a patient, plodding pace, Blackwell's ability to dash the length of the court and set up a teammate's easy layup can be interpreted as a highlight.
"Perris is a good passer," coach Lorenzo Romar said. "He runs the floor. That's not the first time he's run ahead of the defense, and that's not the first time he's made good passes and set up his teammates.
"For a big guy, he's pretty skilled, pretty crafty. He's got good footwork. He knows how to handle himself in almost any situation."
The visitors' quirky defense – the Huskies' first look at a sustained 1-3-1 this season, and likely their last – qualified as an unusual situation.
"I just wanted to make the extra passes," Blackwell said, "because they were collapsing on me in the second half."
That the Bengals identified Blackwell as Washington's most viable inside scoring threat is not surprising, for he's pretty much been Washington's lone inside scoring threat.
That's not by design. Blackwell, who sat out last season after transferring from the University of San Francisco, was envisioned as part of quintet of forwards that included 6-10 sophomore Jernard Jarreau, 6-7 junior Desmond Simmons, and 6-9 junior Shawn Kemp, Jr.
But soon after a comprehensively impressive performance against Central Washington in a Nov. 6 exhibition, Jarreau suffered a season-ending knee injury. Then Simmons was lost to a less serious knee injury – he's expected to return by the end of the month – just as Kemp was diagnosed with Graves' Disease, a thyroid condition that put him into the hospital.
Kemp played 16 minutes on Saturday, scoring four points with two rebounds, but his return to full strength is something that must be accomplished in modest increments.
"He's gonna get stronger each day," Romar said. "There were a couple of times he got winded, but I thought he had a little more pep than he's had. Don't forget, he was in the hospital, bedridden for a considerable amount of time."
In other words, for another few weeks, the brunt of the Huskies' low-post chores will belong to Blackwell, who appears in the team photo as if he's the identical twin of former Kansas Jayhawks and Los Angeles Clippers star Danny Manning.
Before his knees went bad on him, Manning was the prototype of an all-around big man with uncommon versatility. Scoring and rebounding were the foundation – after all, he was 6-10 – but he could also zip passes and block shots and play lock-down defense.
So advanced was Manning as a polished college talent that even before the 1988 national-champion Jayhawks were known as "Danny and the Miracles" they were called Danny and the Juniors," a reference to the 1950s do-wop group.
Whatever challenges await the Huskies as they cope with injuries, find ways to tighten up on defense and seek an overall identity, it's doubtful they'll ever be called "Perris and the Juniors."
But college basketball rosters these days aren't exactly teeming with seniors, especially seniors who are 6-9, 275 pounds and capable of both launching a break with an outlet pass and finishing a break with a set-up pass.
Among his coach's plaudits Saturday, the most flattering to Blackwell had to be the reference about handling any situation. He should keep the thought.
A week from today, after traveling to New Orleans for a game at Tulane, the Huskies will face Connecticut at Hec Ed. The UConn Huskies are 9-0, with a roster boasting five players between 6-9 and 7-0.
Blackwell will have his hands full. If he ever aspires to bear more than a facial resemblance to Danny Manning, next Sunday afternoon will be a prime time to do it.

Omega-3 fatty acids may protect against cellular aging, according to a 5-year tracking study published Jan 19 in JAMA.(1)
The study of patients with cardiovascular disease found that higher omega-3 fatty acid blood levels were associated with less shortening of the telomeres – 'caps' on the ends of chromosomes that protect them from deterioration and are emerging as a marker of biological age.
Several studies have also shown increased survival rates among individuals with established cardiovascular disease who consume generous amounts of marine omega-3 fatty acids (fish & krill oil).
It is known that telomeres are involved in the replication and stability of the chromosome, and that genetic factors and environmental stressors can shorten them. But the mechanisms underlying the omega-3 oils' protective effect are not well understood, according to background information in the article.
Ramin Farzaneh-Far, MD, of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues conducted a study to determine whether omega-3 fatty acid blood levels were associated with changes in leukocyte (a type of blood cell) telomere length in a study of 608 outpatients with stable coronary artery disease. The patients were recruited between September 2000 and December 2002 for the Heart and Soul Study, and followed up to January 2009 (median [midpoint], 6.0 years).
The researchers measured leukocyte telomere length at the beginning of the study and again after 5 years of follow-up. Multivariable models were used to examine the association of baseline levels of omega-3 fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid [DHA] and eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA]) with subsequent change in telomere length.
The researchers found that individuals in the lowest quartile of DHA+EPA experienced the most rapid rate of telomere shortening, whereas those in the highest quartile experienced the slowest rate of telomere shortening.
"Levels of DHA+EPA were associated with less telomere shortening before and after sequential adjustment for established risk factors and potential confounders," the researchers write. "Each 1-standard deviation increase in DHA+EPA levels was associated with a 32 percent reduction in the odds of telomere shortening.
"In summary, among patients with stable coronary artery disease, there was an inverse relationship between baseline blood levels of marine omega-3 fatty acids and the rate of telomere shortening over 5 years. These findings raise the possibility that omega-3 fatty acids may protect against cellular aging in patients with coronary heart disease."
