News reports say Marine Corps generals are pushing to redeploy their troops in Iraq to Afghanistan. The Marines are currently fighting in the Anbar province of Iraq, but as that area cools down, the Marines are eager to get into the fight in Afghanistan. We look at what a possible troop shift would mean. Our guest is Tony Perry of the Los Angeles Times.

Annalee Newitz - She's Such A Geek
She's Such a Geek is an anthology that celebrates women who have flourished in the male-dominated realms of technical and cultural arcana. Editors Annalee Newitz and Charlie Anders bring together a diverse range of critical and personal essays about the meaning of female nerdhood by women who are in love with genomics, obsessed with blogging, learned about sex from Dungeons and Dragons, and are not afraid to match wits with men or computers. More than anything, She's Such a Geek is a celebration and call to arms: it is a hopeful book which looks forward to a day when women will invent molecular motors, design the next ultra-tiny supercomputer, and run the government.
