While school officials debate whether Kiera will return to Bartow High School, the Wilmot family received an unexpected surprise. The explosion struck a chord with 18 year NASA veteran Homer Hickam, a former lead astronaut training manager for Spacelab, and later for the International Space Station. In the late 1950s, Hickam had a brush with law enforcement for allegedly starting a forest fire. State police came to his high school and led him and his friends away in handcuffs, but his high school physics professor and school principal came to the rescue, clearing him of wrongdoing. Back then, schools did not have zero tolerance rules. Kids could make their mistakes without the threat of a criminal record, or serving time in jail. "I couldn't let this go without doing something," Hickam said. "I'm not a lawyer, but I could give her something that would encourage her. I've worked closely with the U.S. Space Academy, and so I purchased a scholarship for her." - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

YAY! How long did it take to win them over? Patiently over the course of many years or a quick flash of inspiration from an elevator pitch? - John Dupuis

One of each, actually. Each had boxed me into "how to use MLA and JSTOR," but today one asked about research strategies for her own upcoming work out of the blue and the other one seems to have really heard me when I said I wanted to blur the mythical distinction between the intellectual work that literary scholars do in the classroom and the research process. - lris

Yes ma'am, it certainly does. It continues to do so on into at least the 18th year of life, though you have to pick bigger spaces on which to nap. I remember when he just laid on my chest while I laid on the couch. That's just no longer possible. Enjoy it while you've got it!! - WebGoddess

A wise choice. I always used to get a kind of contact-high sleepiness just from laying down next to him, even after we stopped nursing. Always wondered what that was. - Laura Norvig

It's missing a loop to the side that says "Maybe" then points to a box that says "Think about it" before pointing back to the original question. - Andy

"How did the Galactic Empire ever cement its hold on the Star Wars Universe? The war machine built by Emperor Palpatine and run by Darth Vader is a spectacularly bad fighting force, as evidenced by all of the pieces of Death Star littering space. But of all the Empire’s failures, none is a more spectacular military fiasco than the Battle of Hoth at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back." - c.a.j. from Bookmarklet
