Professor Moriarty returns, only this time he gains control of the Enterprise in his quest to leave the holodeck.
Data and Geordi La Forge are enjoying a Sherlock Holmes mystery holodeck program. When Data tries to prove the guilt of the alleged murderer by throwing a matchbox at him which he catches with his right hand, Data is puzzled as the program should have made the character left-handed, which would have proved Data's accusation. La Forge freezes the program and calls for Reginald Barclay asking him to examine the program as this was not the first time something went wrong with it. After saving the program Data and La Forge run into Barclay outside the holodeck. Barclay thinks it might have been a glitch in the matrix diodes and assures them he will solve the problem. While performing a diagnostic on all files concerning Sherlock Holmes program 3A, via the holodeck arch, he discovers files stored in protected memory. When Barclay runs the files contained within it, Professor James Moriarty appears. Barclay throws his diagnostic device at him and establishes Moriarty is left-handed, as he should be. Moriarty demands to see Captain Picard, shocking Barclay, who is unaware of the previous encounter between Moriarty and Captain Picard four years prior. (TNG: "Elementary, Dear Data") Barclay is shocked to hear that Moriarty knows what he is, a holodeck character, even more when he learns that Moriarty experienced the passage of time. Denying Moriarty's claim that he is alive, Barclay tells Moriarty he cannot leave the holodeck when he is asked if this is possible. Moriarty suspects that Picard has forgotten all about him, since their first meeting, only agreeing to try to help him leave the holodeck in order to rescue his hostage. He demands to see Picard in the sitting room at 221b Baker Street.
Barclay explains that he needs to store Moriarty in memory again until he has contacted Captain Picard. When Moriarty is gone Barclay leaves the holodeck, a brief moment later Moriarty reappears again, with an amused smile on his face.
Act One
The USS Enterprise-D has come to the Detrian system to observe the collision of two gas giant planets which may cause the formation of a new star. Back in engineering, Barclay tells La Forge that Moriarty has appeared and that he wants to talk to the captain. Barclay takes the captain and Data to the holodeck, activating the sitting room at 221b Baker Street. They enter, and run the Moriarty program. Picard greets Moriarty, and tells him how they have spent much time investigating how he became self-aware, and how he may manage to leave the holodeck. They turned over problem of how to allow Moriarty an independent existence to Starfleet's best scientific minds, but still are awaiting an answer. Picard is concerned that Moriarty experienced the passage of time. Moriarty gets angry that while Picard and the crew have a real life outside the holodeck door, he is left as a low priority, confined to the holodeck. Picard opens the exit, and demonstrates by throwing a book out of the door, that objects will disappear when they enter the real world. Moriarty claims that, as a conscious being his willpower will maintain him outside the holodeck, quoting Descartes' latin phrase "Cogito ergo sum" (I think therefore I am). In front of the astounded crewmembers, he walks through the holodeck door with no apparent ill effects.
Act Two
Data calls for two security officers, causing Moriarty to remark that policemen are recognizable in any age. Everyone believes that this is impossible. Picard wishes for them to go to see Dr. Crusher. Her tricorder scan reveals that he is real, and La Forge detects no traces of loss of molecular cohesion. Moriarty's DNA is a bit unusual, but he is functioning normally. Picard assures him that the crew will continue to investigate. Moriarty wishes to go "above deck," and is surprised to see the stars outside the Ten Forward window, exclaiming that they are adrift in the heavens. Picard explains to Moriarty that they are on a starship. Moriarty wishes to learn the ship's means of propulsion and how far they are from Earth. Picard offers to give him books, and asks that he remain aboard for a while. Moriarty does not care, and is excited to live his life. Picard reminds him that criminal behavior will not be tolerated in the 24th century, to which Moriarty replied that he was only a criminal because Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made it so. He promises that as a person, he is no criminal. Picard enumerates the opportunities that await him in this century. He thanks Picard for his graciousness, and asks if they can bring out Countess Regina Bartholomew. Picard explains that they would have no idea how. Moriarty wishes to bring out the Countess using a method to similar that which brought him out. He becomes angry, and begs the captain to give him his wish.
In the observation lounge, the senior staff and Barclay are talking about whether they should comply with Moriarty's request. Counselor Troi understands Moriarty's frustration at being alone, without his love. Dr. Crusher thinks that they should at least fully analyze Moriarty before performing the procedure again, and Barclay agrees with this. Data remarks that they have no idea if Moriarty is permanent, and advises not to recreate their actions until they fully understand what happened. Picard agrees, and decides to hold off on the request. He asks for the investigation to continue, and goes to tell Moriarty of their decision.
Picard tells Moriarty that they have decided to postpone action. Moriarty says he is tired of waiting. In an attempt to get Moriarty to understand their caution, Picard questions him about his feelings for the Countess, hoping their shared concern for her safety will make him less impatient. He remarks that he would love the Countess even if he had not be designed to – he adores her. Picard tells him that they will act as soon as they learn enough to allow her to leave the holodeck safely. Picard is then called to the bridge by Commander Riker. On the bridge, Riker has the two planets on screen. Picard asks Worf to launch four class-4 probes towards the planets, but the computer does not respond. Command functions have been rerouted, and Moriarty reveals that he has transferred command controls and taken over the Enterprise.
Act Three
Worf brandishes a phaser, but Moriarty warns him not to fire. Picard explains the Enterprise is in grave danger. Moriarty tells that he will relinquish control once the countess is in the real world. Picard orders Data to start working on a solution. In engineering, Data, Barclay, and La Forge are discussing the possibility of using the transporter. Barclay asks what would happen if they attempted to beam a holodeck object off the grid. La Forge explains that a holodeck object has no pattern to lock on to, making the attempt impossible. If the object could be locked on, the transporter might work. They think that they might use the pattern enhancers to create a way to lock on. At the same time, Picard comes to inform them that Moriarty will not disrupt normal ship's functions as long as they work on the problem. Picard also asks La Forge to find a way to give control back to the captain.
Barclay returns to the holodeck to set the pattern enhancers. When he asks the computer to run Sherlock Holmes program 3a, he is slightly puzzled when the computer tells him that program is already active. He enters to find the countess there. He is initially cautious, but after the countess makes it clear that she understands that the pattern enhancers are part of the plan to take her and Moriarty into the real world, he relaxes a little. She talks about all her adventures in Africa, saying that she had a wonderful time. Moriarty returns, and explains that he has already attempted to make the countess self-conscious in a similar way to himself. The countess explains to Moriarty that they will be using the devices to take a chair off the holodeck. Barclay asks Data to proceed. He attempts to beam the chair off, but it loses its molecular cohesion as soon as it comes to the transporter pad. Data explains that they may be able to learn something from this, and checks the transporter logs to see the results, but there is no information in the log.
Just as Picard gives his codes to transfer control to engineering, Data arrives, full of suspicion. La Forge notices that the transfer has not worked, and while he is working out the problem, Data picks up a tool and throws it to him. La Forge catches it in his left hand.
Data then announces that he has determined how Moriarty managed to leave the holodeck - he never did. The entire Enterprise is a simulation created by Moriarty in order to fool Picard into releasing the Enterprise command codes to him.
Act Four
Data explains his Holmesian deduction of this fact to the captain. The fact that by beaming a hologram off the holodeck they were attempting something that had never been done before meant that the computer could have no real data to create the transport logs. He noticed that the holographic La Forge was working with his left hand, although the real La Forge is right handed - a similar problem to the fault that first caused Barclay to activate the Moriarty hologram.
As further confirmation, he throws his combadge at the warp core, causing the lines from the holodeck wall to show through briefly. Picard attempts to command the computer to stop the program, then calls Riker to ask him what is Picard's location on the ship. Riker says "engineering", causing Picard to suggest that Moriarty has their combadges tied in to his simulation.
Data explains that the only real people in this simulation are himself, Captain Picard and Barclay, the three who originally entered the holodeck to meet Moriarty. Now that Moriarty has Picard's command codes Picard expects Moriarty to use them to attempt make demands on the real Riker to find a way to allow him to leave the holodeck. Picard begins to muse about a plan to give Moriarty what he wants.
Aboard the real ship, Riker is indeed negotiating with Moriarty for the return of Captain Picard, Barclay and Data. Moriarty, on the Enterprise viewscreen, appears to be in holographic crew quarters. He now has control of the ship, and Riker fears that they will not be able to move to a safe distance from the planetary collision. Moriarty demands that they must come up with a way for him to leave the holodeck, and explains the lines of research the crew on his holographic Enterprise were pursuing, telling the real crew that they must do better with their real transporters. La Forge explains that the fact that Moriarty's transporters were only holograms was probably not the only reason why their experiment didn't work. Moriarty then raises the warp core temperature to demonstrate his complete control of their ship. Riker orders La Forge to start work on the problem.
Back on the holographic Enterprise, Picard enters the holographic holodeck, returning to 221b Baker Street where Picard introduces himself to Countess Bartholomew. The Countess finds him charming, comparing him to a bewitching Viscount of her acquaintance. Picard explains to her a plan he says his crew have devised to allow him to use transporters make holograms real if you first decouple the Heisenberg compensators and allow them to rescramble randomly. He appeals to her to work on Moriarty to persuade him to do the right thing by releasing the computer to him before he agrees to use this technique. After telling Picard that sounds more like a threat than a compromise, she agrees to do what she can.
Back on the real Enterprise, the collision is proceeding apace. Worf is working on manually disabling the force field Moriarty has used to prevent physical access to the holodeck.
Meanwhile, in 221b Baker Street, rather than attempt to persuade Moriarty to do the right thing, Countess Bartholomew is explaining to him the details of the captain's plan. Moriarty triumphantly calls for an arch, using this to contact Riker. He tells Riker he wants him to uncouple the Heisenberg compensators.
Act Five
Countess Bartholomew is putting a hat on, while Moriarty explains to her how many other worlds there are to visit together. Riker communicates and tells them they are ready to transport. It appears to be successful, as Moriarty and the Countess materialize on the transport pad. But Moriarty still refuses to give up control of the ship's computers until Riker agrees to give him one of the Enterprise shuttles. Riker has little choice but to agree.
Riker walks into the shuttlebay, and tells Moriarty and the Countess that they have programmed a shuttle to accept voice commands - they can control the ship by simply telling it where they want to go. Riker suggests they make Meles II their first stop, as it is the closest inhabited planet.
Moriarty says he's sorry he won't be able to say goodbye to the captain in person, as Picard is still trapped on the holodeck in Moriarty's program. They board the ship and take off, admiring the beautiful sight of the heavens. Finally Moriarty orders the shuttle computer to interface with the Enterprise and uses his codes to release the Enterprise computer back to Riker's control.
Back in the shuttlebay, Picard enters and orders the computer to store his program Picard Delta One and discontinue simulation. The "real" Riker and Worf disappear, and the shuttlebay becomes a blank holodeck. Picard has fooled Moriarty with his own "false reality" trick. Picard then "leaves" the "holodeck" meeting Data and Barclay "outside". Now that Moriarty has released his control over the computer, Picard can discontinue Moriarty's fake Enterprise program. Picard checks in with Riker, who says their systems came back on line a few minutes ago, allowing them to move the Enterprise to a safe distance from the collision. Picard opens the door, and they are at last back aboard the real Enterprise. Before he leaves, Barclay opens a control panel by the holodeck door and removes a plastic cube from the computer.
Debriefing Riker, Picard explains that the Moriarty program is still running inside that cube, and that although it is not physically realized, the Moriarty program will continue, unaware of the deception. Barclay places the cube inside a portable unit which he says contains enough active memory to provide them new experiences for a lifetime. Deanna observes that, in a way, Picard has indeed given them exactly what they asked for.
Picard suggests that their own reality might just be existing in a little device sitting on somebody's table for all they know, leaving a nervous Barclay to try a "computer end program" command before leaving the observation lounge.
From a safe distance, the Enterprise observes the collision of planets and the formation of a star.
Memorable quotes
"It takes a trained eye to notice certain discrepancies. For example, whether someone is right, or left handed..."
(tosses an object to the living brother)
"Your brother was right-handed. The alleged suicide note was written by a left-handed individual, such as yourself."
"Data, it's in his right hand."
"There seems to be something wrong with the holodeck's spatial orientation program."
"London's greatest detective!"
- - Data (as Sherlock Holmes) and La Forge (as Dr. Watson) on the holodeck
"A holodeck character? A fictional man? Yes, yes, I know all about your marvelous inventions. I was created as a plaything so that your Commander Data could masquerade as Sherlock Holmes. But they made me too well, and I became more than a character in a story. I became self-aware. I am alive."
- - Moriarty demonstrates a high degree of self-awareness.
"Policemen. I'd recognize them in any century!"
- - Moriarty gets his first sight of Starfleet security
"The program fashioned her for me to love. But I must admit I would have done so anyway. She is remarkable. My life has not been the same since I met her. I don't simply love her, captain, I adore her!"
- - Moriarty explains what Countess Bartholomew means to him
"Captain. I have determined how Moriarty was able to leave the holodeck. He never did. Neither did we. None of this is real. It is a simulation. We are still on the holodeck."
- - Data solves the mystery
"I will not release your vessel until I am looking at it from a shuttlecraft window."
- - Moriarty demands passage on a shuttle
"As far as Moriarty and the Countess know, they're halfway to Meles II by now. This enhancement module contains enough active memory to provide them with experiences for a lifetime."
"They will live their lives and never know any difference."
"In a sense, you did give Moriarty what he wanted."
"In a sense, who knows? Our reality may be very much like theirs. All this might just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device sitting on someone's table."
(all but Barclay leave)
"Computer, end program."
(nothing happens)
- - Barclay, Picard and Troi in the final scene, coming close to breaking the fourth wall
Story and production
- This episode is a sequel to the second season episode "Elementary, Dear Data". Although the Sherlock Holmes setting had proven popular among the staff, further use of the character on The Next Generation was prevented by a protracted legal dispute between Paramount and the estate of Arthur Conan Doyle. "Ship in a Bottle" came about when Jeri Taylor decided to re-investigate the possibility, only to find that the whole situation was a misunderstanding. The Conan Doyle estate had been irritated at Paramount because of the film Young Sherlock Holmes. However, by the time this episode was conceived, they were willing to license the character for what Taylor described as a "very reasonable license fee". Actor Brent Spiner was particularly thrilled, as he had wanted to play Holmes again. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- The premise for this episode derived from a story pitched by René Echevarria to Michael Piller back in the third season. "I pitched a story after I sold "The Offspring" about Riker and Picard going on a mission, and Riker beams him into the holodeck from Starbase and it appears as though Riker is taking over the ship and leading it into enemy territory. In fact, what he's doing is setting up a scenario where Picard will be protected. It was a plan to discredit some bad guy and Michael remembered it and said he loved the holodeck gag. When we were all at Jeri's house one Sunday having a story session, somebody mentioned we could do Moriarty again. I told everybody there was a story Michael liked that we could use. In the first draft, we figured out a way to help him escape the holodeck by walking in a transporter beam and it breaks up and he dies – but during the break we came up with the notion of giving him what he wants and never letting him know he's been fooled. It was very sweet, having this 18th century genius thinking he'd outsmarted us and just smugly going on." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Reginald Barclay was added to the story when it was initially felt that a character was needed who had not known about the first Moriarty encounter. Although this later was regarded as a moot point, Echevarria noted that no one but Barclay could have made the episode's final line work. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- According to Ronald D. Moore, the various nested universes in the episode confused even the staff, who ended up drawing diagrams during break sessions to keep track of them. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Director Alexander Singer noted that the most difficult aspect of the show for him was casting the part of Regina Bartholomew. "Her casting was the most difficult because we needed someone who could pull off an English accent and had a regal appearance, but who was also very sexy in Victorian clothes. When I saw Stephanie [Beacham] I said that's it, end of story." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- For set decorator Jim Mees, the challenge in recreating the 221-B Baker Street study set was to be faithful to both the descriptions in the original stories as well as the scenes in "Elementary, Dear Data". One notable difference to the previous episode was the wallpaper, which had been discontinued in the preceding four years. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- This episode has one of the longest teasers at around six and a half minutes.
- This episode features a very subtle sign that everything may not be as it seems in the scenes after Moriarty's first "departure" from the holodeck: in a typical episode, an exterior shot of the principal ship or space station is a common bridge between scenes. In this episode, there is an abnormally long break between exterior shots of the Enterprise, with none appearing between the moment Picard, Data, and Barclay enter the holodeck, and the moment just before Moriarty contacts the bridge after seizing control of the ship, despite there being several scene and even act breaks in between. This directorial style is common in instances when the principal events take place within a holographic or mental construct. It would later be seen in the Star Trek: Deep Space 9 episodes "Distant Voices" and "Inquisition", the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Projections", and the Star Trek: Enterprise finale "These Are the Voyages...".
- The concept of controlling the ship from the holodeck was first brought up in "The Nth Degree", and is revisited in "Emergence" (although Moriarty himself created a crude device for affecting the attitude control in his debut episode).
- This episode, and its predecessor, mark the basics for the beginning of sentient holographic characters, such as the Doctor from Voyager and Vic Fontaine from DS9.
- A few years later, a holographic character finally gains the ability to leave their zone of confinement; the Doctor's mobile emitter allows this.
- This episode was one of Brannon Braga's favorites. "My favorite kind of show, a twisty turny complex mystery. In this case I thought it worked pretty well and certainly the pairing of Moriarty and Barclay was inspired. This was such a good show, you had to do it. It's a great title. I tried to kick things off with "Realm of Fear", which sounds like an old series." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)

I smell like holiday.
There have been warm days but today is hot. We're on the roof in our sun chairs.
I'm wearing the year's first pair of shorts and am trying to get some colour on my spindly white legs. I open my eyes and the world is bleached out like a photograph taken in the seventies.
The floor of the roof is green and everything else is blue or white apart from K's maroon bikini.
I let out the same rasp of panicked hopelessness I let out every week at about this time. She puts her magazine down and looks at me, silently. I make my noise again.
"What is it?", she asks, knowing what it is. More

And as a result, an increase in energy costs that is fairly small to me is huge to the poor. Any kind of tax on energy, indeed any policy that raises the cost of energy, is one of the most regressive taxes known to man. It crushes those at the lowest end of the scale, and the worst part is, there is no relief at the bottom. You know how with income tax, if you make below a certain limit, you pay no tax at all? If you are below the threshold, you are exempt from income tax.
But energy price increases such as carbon taxes don't even have that relief. They hit harder the further you go down the economic ladder, all the way down to rock bottom, hitting the very poorest the hardest of all.
So when James Hansen gets all mealy-mouthed about his poor grandkids' world in fifty years, boo-boo, it just makes me shake my head in amazement. His policies have already led to an increase in something I never heard of when I was a kid, "fuel poverty". This is where the anti-human pseudo-green energy policies advocated by Hansen and others have driven the price of fuel so high that people who weren't poor before, now cannot heat their homes in winter … it's shockingly common in Britain, for example.
In other words, when James Hansen is coming on all weepy-eyed about what might possibly happen to his poor grandchildren fifty years from now, he is so focused on the future that he overlooks the ugly present-day results of his policies, among them the grandparents shivering in houses that they can no longer afford to heat …

Hello Dangerous rays wanderers , i wanted to give you guys some infos about a call of pripyat mod called Ray of hope witch is a coop/ multiplayer mod who is created by a team of russian people .
You can get a take a look on the moddb page here : http://www.moddb.com/mods/ray-of-hope-co-op-online .
Facebook link : https://www.facebook.com/rohmultiplayer
Basicly it would be like a freeplay mod of the game on a map with several players , you will be able to chat with other stalkers with the pda !
Here is a message of one of the dev when i ask him about the "factions feature" :
"Every faction will have one or more bases and shelters. The leader is elected by the stalkers and he decides how everything need to be done. The soldiers can create barricades with the trash in the roads, buy defendes (mines, static machine guns and others). The factions have different jobs for the stalkers and usually they aren't peaceful. The reputation in the zone doesn't change if you kill your enemies, when the one of your faction will increase by killing enemies and completing missions. Your leader will give you (or your patrol) some missions.
You need to be an experienced stalker to join a faction. Also, you need to pay some money, as you will receive outfit, weapons, ammo and equipment from your leader. Later, you will work and compensate the money you've spent. "
Feel free to ask the devs on moddb/facebook.

On Tuesday night in Dallas, Mitt Romney made one thing clear: he was not "just polishing the apple for T. Boone Pickens here," he said, when he began his policy remarks at a fundraiser with Pickens, an oil and gas investor, by talking about energy.
The truth is, as Romney pointed out, he almost always starts talking policy by focusing on energy, whether or not he has an audience of energy executives. And it's his condemnation of President Obama on the topic that often gets him the loudest applause. Romney knocks Obama for enacting air-pollution regulations that hurt coal miners, for not opening public lands quickly enough to drilling and for not approving the Keystone Pipeline. Such rhetoric has long been standard for Republican campaigns. Even the GOP's 2008 candidate, John McCain, who supported climate-change legislation, chanted "Drill, baby, drill" on the trail.
But there is reason to think this year is different. Unlike McCain, Romney has more fully embraced the policy agenda of the fossil-fuel industry, and in a campaign that may come down to a question of fundraising, the fossil-fuel industry is coming out big for Romney.
In the Oct. 1 issue of TIME, I have a story looking at this outpouring of support. Large coal and oil companies and their executives are major funders of the outside spending groups working to defeat Obama. Many other groups, like the American Petroleum Institute, are funding expensive issue advertising campaigns that make no mention of the election but urge voters to vote for more domestic oil and gas production.
In Ohio, this support is particularly notable in the form of Robert E. Murray, a colorful coal-company executive who has made defeating Obama a personal and professional goal. A sign outside one of his mines the length of a hopper car reads "Fire Obama," and his workers were organized by a manager in May to protest a Joe Biden event in hard hats. In August, when Romney came through town, Murray closed his mines and asked his workers to attend a rally, which now features prominently in two new ads the campaign has released. Murray doesn't hold back. As he told me, "Bear-ick Obama is the greatest enemy that these regions of the country have." He tends to mispronounce the President's first name.
(PHOTOS: Political Pictures of the Week, Sept. 7–14)
On Tuesday, Alpha Natural Resources, a Virginia coal firm that has given to anti-Obama groups, announced 1,200 layoffs and the closure of at least eight mines. The Romney campaign quickly pounced. "For four years, President Obama has waged a war on coal that has devastated the middle class and American workers," said Ryan Williams, a campaign spokesman. The causes for the Alpha layoffs, and for Murray's concern, are complex: a soft economy, softening international markets, record-low natural-gas prices and new regulatory hurdles. But the potential to move votes in two key swing states — Virginia and Ohio — is very real.
In August, Obama started playing defense in Murray's southeastern Ohio neighborhood with a radio ad that pointed to the increase in local coal production over the past few years and Romney's coal-bashing rhetoric from his days as governor of Massachusetts. But Democratic concern remains.
One of the oft unstated facts of the energy debate is that it pits regions against each other. What was a boon for Obama in 2007 and '08 — talking about green energy in ethanol- and wind-rich Iowa — can be a drag in Ohio and Virginia, which were less crucial in the high-flying days of '08. So when Romney talks about energy, he's not just playing the room. He's talking about an issue that could have a major impact on the election.

VANCOUVER — Taxpayers in British Columbia may never fully learn why the government paid $6 million in legal fees for two former ministerial aides now that a judge has dismissed an application for government documents.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Bauman said in his written decision Tuesday that auditor general John Doyle's request amounted to a sweeping invasion of solicitor-client privilege.
Doyle said during a hearing last September that as a public watchdog, he needed access to government information to determine whether public money was spent economically in relation to an indemnity policy for senior employees who are acquitted.
The process has led the government to waive legal fees for 95 people since 1999, with the biggest payout going to former ministerial aides Dave Basi and Bobby Virk, although they pleaded guilty.
Basi and Virk were charged with fraud and breach of trust in connection with the $1-billion privatization sale of B.C. Rail in early 2003, culminating in a police raid on the legislature in December that year amid allegations the men leaked government information to one of three bidders.
The case dragged on for seven years until it abruptly came to an end October 2010 when Basi and Virk made surprise guilty pleas and the government announced their legal fees had been paid.
The move sparked public outrage, demands for a public inquiry by the Opposition New Democrats and the move by Doyle to make his court application.
"Solicitor-client privilege is not a lawyer's 'trick' to avoid proper scrutiny of her client's conduct or the steps taken on his or her behalf during the retainer, it is a critical civil right," the judge said.
"It would be wrong to conclude that the result in this case represents the triumph of secrecy over transparency and accountability," Bauman said, adding the principle of solicitor-client privilege has been a cornerstone of democracy for hundreds of years.
New Democrat Leonard Krog, the critic for the Attorney General's Ministry, said his party will pursue a public inquiry if it's elected in May because that's what British Columbians want in connection with the sale of a Crown asset.
"On the law, the judge may well be right," he said. "But from a public interest perspective, people clearly wanted the auditor general to succeed," he said.
"The $6 million that the Liberal government wrote off in legal fees upset British Columbians and it was salt in the wound of B.C. Rail. The decision now means that it will be harder for the auditor general to give the fulsome report that he had hoped to create as a result of his investigation into this."
Doyle was not available for comment, but Krog said the auditor general may be able to obtain other documents related to Basi and Virk's case, although the scope of his investigation will be limited.
The government's indemnity policy also applied to former NDP premier Glen Clark, who was acquitted in August 2002 of breach of trust charges in a casino licensing scandal and had his legal fees paid.
In November 2011, an independent government-commissioned report by University of British Columbia president Stephen Toope said the province should pursue costs after a guilty plea or verdict.
He said that while the government is obligated to pay costs for employees who are considered innocent, that shouldn't be the case otherwise.
Attorney General Shirley Bond said at the time that the government will adopt the nine recommendations in Toope's report, including proceeding with plans to go after assets to recover court costs when the province shells out money for legal costs.
Krog noted Basi had property worth about $300,000 and it that was secured by the government, but it chose not to go get back any of the legal fees.

Awwa Research Foundation (AwwaRF) is funding three new research projects that will be of particular benefit to smaller water utilities.
The three projects, which are being funded for a total of $250,000, are the first to be funded through the new AwwaRF Small Systems Initiative, which was launched in January. Under the initiative, AwwaRF is focusing resources on the specific needs of small water utilities.
"Research targeted toward smaller water suppliers will help address issues that are unique to their size and limited resources," said Robert C. Renner, executive director of AwwaRF. "The findings will assist them in delivering safe and affordable drinking water to the public, which ultimately benefits the nation's drinking water community as a whole."

It's been well documented that AT&T's 4G phones aren't just slow—their upload speeds are often slower than its 3G network. So what happened to that extra G? Turns out it's not the network itself that's borked; it's the phones. AT&T has intentionally crippled the Motorola Atrix and HTC Inspire—the carrier's only fourth-gen network phones—by actively disabling the handsets' HSUPA capability. Gross. But there may be sweet relief coming soon.
AT&T says that they'll activate HSUPA in the Inspire and Atrix in April with a software update, according to Wired, and that the Samsung Infuse 4G will launch with HSUPA turned on. Why the delay at all? They're apparently performing "the testing and preparations necessary" for people to enjoy the HSUPA experience.
Just to reiterate: the Atrix and Inspire are presumably fully capable of achieving the 5.5+ Mbps speeds promised by HUSPA, but until AT&T flips that switch they're stuck with an embarrassing 300 Kbps upload speed. It's great that 4G may be fully functional soon! Both both phones have been advertised and sold since launch as 4G devices. And it's not like AT&T warns people in advance that their fancy new 4G handset may well be slower than their old one.
It's true that the definition of 4G is a moving target, essentially a slightly different fabrication told by each carrier. But being HSUPA-capable doesn't make a phone 4G if that HSUPA is disabled. You know what other devices are HSUPA-ready? The iPhone 4. iPad 2. And no one's slapping a 4G label on them.
When I buy a loaf of bread, I don't expect to see a lump of raw dough in the bag. And that's what AT&T's selling right now: "4G" phones that are half-baked, at best. [Wired]

But What About the Children?
Kids have it hard these days. I grew up in cable's infancy, a time when phones were still attached to the walls. It took a little while for news to spread. And it was a more innocent time, too. Heroes were put up on a pedestal to be worshiped, not to have stones thrown at them. Today, though? Man, it must be rough to be a kid or a hero.
Take Tiger Woods (please!). As if the multiple sordid affairs weren't enough, he's now being dragged into the PED arena as well with the news about his doctor using HGH. And as soon as any news about him hits the streets, it's spread far and wide by the internet. Let's be honest, it's entirely possible that Jack Nicklaus had a stable of pretty young fillies at his beck and call during his hey-day but you never would have heard about it. Stars were protected back then.
The real problem is that we can't seem to find a happy medium. Either we don't know anything (why haven't I seen a Joe Dimaggio/Marilyn Monroe honeymoon video?) or we know way too much (the image of a syringe in Roger Clemens' @$$ is something I'll never be able to forget). Why can't we just know a reasonable amount? Like, if someone is a danger to himself or society (Ray Lewis, I'm looking at you), let us know. But if they're just doing some canoodling on the side, that's his or her business (yes A-Rod, I'm giving you a pass on that one).
Information is power and that hasn't changed. And there is plenty of information on every possible subject out there today. But trying to find the useful stuff is like diving into a latrine to find the quarter you accidentally swallowed and then excreted. It's messy and ultimately just not worth it. Kind of like being a hero.

"Even though he plays a physical, competitive game, he has less grit tha his father, but more talent." -THN
Buekeboom has good bloodlines, with his father being the son of former Rangers defenseman Jeff Beukeboom. He's got good straight line mobility, likes to take the body, and has a cannon shot that he's deployed on the power play for Sault this season. Cleans up the front of his net.
Beukeboom is coachable and a quick learner, but he still needs to refine his decision making. Prone to move the puck blindly or hold onto it too long. His shot takes a long time to release, as well, and he sometimes struggles with accuracy. Needs to work on his pivots.
Beukeboom likely will need a couple of years in junior to develop before the Lightning sign him and bring him into the pro ranks. He has offensive upside, but it remains to be seen if it develops over the next couple of years. Red Line Report projects Beukeboom to be a solid number five defenseman who plays a style like Francois Beauchemin.

Applied Acoustics Chromaphone 1.0.8 WIN OSX | 40 Mb
hromaphone is a Percussion Synthesizer that combines acoustic resonators to create drums, percussion, mallet, string, and synth-like instruments. At the user's fingertips are drum skins, bars, marimbas, plates, strings, and tubes that get sparked into life by a mallet and a flexible noise source. With Chromaphone, AAS has introduced a coupling technology that models how vibrating objects interact. Resonators are not passive any more, they now move and influence each other dynamically capturing key acoustic behaviours. The result is a library of vivid and expressive instruments with unmatched acoustic precision, sharpness, and real-life presence.Mix and match
Chromaphone combines acoustic resonators to create drums, percussion, string, and synth-like instruments. Membranes, bars, marimbas, plates, strings, and tubes form pairs that get sparked into life by a mallet and a flexible noise source. The resonators' material, tuning, and coupling parameters allow the creation of a wide range of instruments and sonic colors. Whether real, innovative, or with an ethnic touch, Chromaphone will fill your music with rich and organic tones.
Melodies and beats
Chromaphone's sound library includes a wide range of expressive and responsive instruments that span from warm and mellow pitched percussions for melodies to punchy one-shots and kits for rhythm tracks. A wooden bar makes a xylophone, turned metallic it becomes a glockenspiel. Adding a tube transforms it into a vibraphone or marimba. Plates shape up in bells and cymbals. Membranes are used for drum skins, combined with a tube they make bass drums, snares, congas and bongos.
One-shot revolution
One-shots are no longer limited to the velocity dimension. Chromaphone uses the entire keyboard range to modulate volume, mallet noise and stiffness, noise filter frequency and density, hit position, and coupling to open a whole world of expressive soundsâand that in a totally stepless fashion.
Creative drum kits
Chromaphone ships with ready-made creative kit patches where each note provides a new sound slightly different from the previous one. Over the entire keyboard range the sound morphs from bass drum to snare to hi-hat. Discover a mixture of electronic and acoustic qualities intertwined to form highly playable, addictive, and always fresh drum sounds.
Together ensemble
A key feature of Chromaphone is a brand-new coupling technology. The coupling refers to the exchange of acoustic energy which occurs in real life between interacting objects. Consider a string bridged to a wooden soundboard, both have their own behavior and characteristics, but when assembled together, they merge into a complex string instrument. In a similar way, a metal bar interacts with the air column from a tube in a vibraphone. Chromaphone is the first and only plug-in to provide control over the coupling of resonators. The result is vivid instruments with unmatched acoustic precision, sharpness and realism.
Neat features
– Real-time control over any parameters via host automation
– Host tempo synchronization for effects and modulations
– Relaxed editing with unlimited undo/redo capability
The benefits of physical modeling
– Sound manipulation at the source core
– Presets load in a flash
– Super smooth dynamicsâno velocity layers!
– Small memory footprint
– Installs in less than a minute

A 91-year-old California woman selling do-it-yourself asphyxiation kits for $60 apiece says business is booming since a depressed but otherwise healthy young man used her product to kill himself in Oregon.
Notoriety surrounding Sharlotte Hydorn's home-based mail order operation near San Diego and the December suicide of one of her customers, Nicholas Klonoski, 29, has also sparked a move in Oregon to outlaw sales of such devices.
Oregon and Washington are the only two states with laws on the books legalizing physician-assisted suicide for people with incurable, fatal illnesses.
The Oregon Senate earlier this week passed a bill to make it illegal to sell or market products like Hydorn's in the state. The chief sponsor, Democrat Floyd Prozanski of Eugene, expects the lower House to vote on the measure by next week.
Prozanski said he worries about individuals who impulsively order a suicide kit "as a permanent solution for a temporary problem," and was especially concerned about minors.
He stressed that his bill would leave intact Oregon's landmark 1997 Death with Dignity Act, which allows physicians to prescribe life-ending medication to terminally ill patients. A key provision of that law, however, requires patients to be physically capable of administering the drug to themselves.
State records show that 525 Oregonians have ended their lives under the act since 1997.
Hydorn says her product, consisting of a plastic hood that closes around the neck and tubing that connects the hood to a tank of helium or other inert gas, is intended to help terminally ill people end their lives with dignity in their own homes. Patients have to acquire the helium themselves.
A tall, sturdy woman for her age, with sun-worn skin and lively brown eyes, Hydorn acknowledges that she does not screen or ask questions of those ordering the kits, which she sells with instructions.
She confirmed from her records that Klonoski did purchase one of her kits last June, though he gave no reason.
But she rejects criticism that she is indiscriminately peddling death to people who may be emotionally vulnerable rather than terminally ill.
"I don't call them suicide kits, I call them exit kits," Hydorn said. "They're for people who want some control over their lives, including control over how their lives end."
She sells the kits under the brand name GLADD, which stands for Glorious Life and Dignified Death. She declines to say how much she earns from her business but denies that she makes as much as $98,000 a year, as some reports have suggested.
A retired science teacher who collects a pension and income from several rental properties, Hydorn said she became interested in helping the terminally ill after losing her husband to colon cancer in 1977.
"I'm not in it for the money -- I have a huge number of checks I didn't even cash," she said.
Hydorn had been quietly selling the kit for about 20 years and said she is uncomfortable with the recent burst of publicity. Sales have risen sharply as a result of the media attention stemming from Klonoski's death and reaction to it in the Oregon Legislature.
"I had two or three orders a month, maybe 25 a year, until all this happened," she said. In the past month, "all hell broke loose, and I've gotten more than 100 orders, 70 or 80 of them from Oregon."
Klonoski's younger brother, Zach, sees the situation differently.
"With the sale of these helium-hood kits, the GLADD company smashed my family into a million pieces," he said in recent testimony before the Oregon state Legislature.
Hydorn said she delved into the subject after reading Derek Humphrey's book, "Final Exit."
"We treat animals better than we treat dying people," she said. "They keep people alive and do terrible, painful things to them because we can't let go and patients just become cash cows."
Hydorn said she adapted her "exit kit" from designs she first saw at a Hemlock Society meeting in the 1990s.
Hydorn said she will use one herself if it's called for.
"I don't want to end up helpless," she said. "It's all right if people don't understand."

Given Mr. Obama's penchant for recycling old speeches and old campaign promises, look for at least one reference to spending money on education, or at least on his fellow travelers in the teacher's union, as an "investment in the future". When he gets to this point, remind yourself that money spent is not always an "investment". Every time someone want to sell some big ticket item to my dear sainted mother, they would couch the expense in terms of "an investment". I remember one time, she told me she thought she was going to "invest" in new drapes. Now, I don't know about you, but of all the drapes, curtains and window coverings I have ever purchased, not one has ever produced a dividend over and above covering the windows I purchased them for.
The US Department of Education is one of the ugliest set of drapes you have ever seen. With a price tag of over 100 Billion dollars a year, hung upon the curtain rod of ever declining and failing test scores, if this were something you had to stare at every day, you would get rid of them in a heartbeat. Possibly burn them.
When Obama stands up once again, to tell you he wants to spend money we do not have, for full employment of his friends at the teachers' union, who obediently kick back a portion of those "investments" as contributions to the Democrat Party, because it is an "investment" in our country's future and necessary to turn the economy around, remember that every dime we spend on education, will take an entire generation to find itself into the workplace. Consider the billions upon billions spent since 1980 on the Department of Education: Did the generation that was supposed to benefit from that "investment" find themselves trained and prepared for the jobs of the late 20th and early 21st. centuries?
Beware! When Obama and his fellow Democrats speak of "investing" in the future, they think along the lines of balancing your risk from Enron with this up and coming new company called "Solyndra".
Caveat emptor.

Key Biscayne Beach
Key Biscayne Fl is one of the most beautiful islands located just off the coast of downtown Miami. If the Miami beaches are too crowded or too full of tourists, drive over the Rickenbacker Causeway to Key Biscayne and visit one of the many beaches or parks for a day of sun, grilling and swimming amongst the tropical trees of Miami.
Key Biscayne is a five-mile-long barrier island just off the coast of downtown Miami. Connected to the mainland by a causeway, it is a mostly natural island with an upscale town of about 11,500 people in the middle. Miamians looking for water come for the day, especially on weekends, but not many tourists come for vacation. Which makes it a good place for getting away from it all.
And no less an authority than Dr. Beach agrees. The expert beach inspector named Key Biscayne's Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park the No. 9 best beach in America in 2008. The park, on the south end of the island, has a bike path, nature trails, a sea wall for fishing, beaches for swimming, and a beautiful lighthouse (climb the 109 steps to the top for a spectacular view).
Crandon Park, on the north end of the island, gets a little overshadowed by Bill Baggs, but it offers beaches, a roller skating area, a playground, a carousel, a golf course and the famous tennis center where the Sony Ericsson Open is held every March. (When the pros aren't playing, the courts are open to the public.)
Also on the island, just over the causeway, is the Miami Seaquarium, one of the region's top tourist attractions. You can see dolphins, manatees, sea lions, killer whales and eight different marine animal shows.
On the mainland end of the causeway sits Vizcaya, often said to be the most beautiful house ever constructed in the United States, and the Miami Science Museum.
There are only two hotels on Key Biscayne, and the Ritz-Carlton is not the budget one. Luckily, there's the Silver Sands Beach Resort, which, despite its name, is a plain, '50s style, one-story motel almost hidden by luxury condos. The rooms are basic, but some of them give onto a lovely courtyard. Just beyond the swimming pool is the beach, though it has narrowed quite a bit in recent years. (301 Ocean Drive; 305-361-5441)
For a small town, there are plenty of places to eat. A lot of locals start the day at the Donut Gallery (83 Harbor Drive; 305-361-9985). La Boulangerie is a cozy place that bustles at lunchtime (328 Crandon Blvd. No. 125; 305-365-5260). If your kids think they'd like to become marine biologists, take them to the cafeteria in the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (4600 Rickenbacker Causeway; next-door to the Seaquarium). For dinner, drive back into Bill Baggs State Park and have some fresh fish at Boater's Grill overlooking No Name Harbor (305-361-0080).

OKLAHOMA CITY — As the Independence Day holiday approaches, many Oklahomans may be planning a trip to one of the state's lakes, rivers, or streams to enjoy swimming, boating, canoeing and other water activities. While the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) encourages Oklahomans to visit the state's many natural water bodies, the agency reminds residents to be cautious.
Certain bacteria, viruses and protozoa can be present in untreated bodies of water. Some of these microorganisms occur naturally while others are carried into surface waters from a variety of sources.
Some of these microorganisms are harmful and can cause mild problems such as ear infection, swimmers itch, gastrointestinal upset, or relatively rare but serious conditions such as eye infections and some forms of meningitis.
Swimmers should pay close attention to water conditions. Also, it is important to pay attention to posted signs and follow the recommendations.
DEQ recommends the following precautions when swimming in any body of untreated water to reduce exposure to waterborne microorganisms:
• Hold nose or wear nose plugs when jumping into the water
• Wash open skin cuts and scrapes with clean soap and water immediately after swimming
• Avoid swallowing water when swimming
• Wear ear plugs to prevent ear infections
• Wear swim goggles or masks to prevent eye infections
• Avoid swimming near storm drains (pipes that drain polluted water from streets)
• Take children to the restroom frequently/Use swim diapers on infants
• Stay away from any area that has floating debris, stagnant water, oil sheens or dead fish

Philadelphia Phillies – Team History: Second Place Finishes.
In the Phillies' 128-year history as a member of the National League, they have spent most of that time being either a cellar dweller or as a member of the second division. But, the team has spent some time in the first division, winning two World Series Championship, seven National League pennants, with two in consecutive seasons (2008-2009) and ten National League Eastern Division flags, including winning the last four (2007-2010). The team has also finished in second place in either the National League (1883-1968) or in the National League Eastern Division (1969 to the present) a grand total of thirteen time.
The first time they would end up in second place would be in 1887, the fifth year of the team's existence, as they would finish the season behind the first place Detroit Wolverines with a record of 75-48 for a winning percentage of .610, finishing 3.5 games behind the Wolverines in a league of eight teams, before the expansion to twelve teams in 1892. For the Phils, who were also called the Quakers at the time, this would be their only second place finish in the 19th Century. The next time the Phils would finish in second place, and the first time in the 20th Century, would occur in 1901, as they fell behind the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were at the beginning of winning three straight NL pennants (1901-1903), as they finish the season with a record of 83-57, with a .593 winning percentage, finishing 7.5 games behind the Bucos. The next time that the Phils would end up in second place would occur in 1913, as they finished behind the New York Giants, who had won their third straight NL pennant (1911-1913), ending the year with a record of 88-63 for a winning percentage of .583, ending up 12.5 games behind the Giants. The Phils would then finished second for the two seasons after they had won their first NL pennant in 1915. The first time, for the fourth time overall, would occur in 1916, when they would finish behind the Brooklyn Robins, now Dodgers, with a 91-62 record, winning one game more than they did the year that they won the pennant, with a winning percentage of .595, finishing 2.5 games behind the Robins. The following season, 1917, they would finish in second place again, this time behind the Giants, with a record of 87-65, with a .572 winning percentage, trailing the Giants by 10 games. The Phils would then spend most of the next 47 years in the second division before once again finishing second. The Phils would then end up tied for second place with the Cincinnati Reds in 1964, after collapsing in September, finishing behind the St. Louis Cardinals with a record of 92-70, with a winning percentage of .568, a game out of first. This would be the sixth and final time that they would finish in second place in the National League before the two major leagues split into divisions in 1969, with the Phils becoming a member of the NL East. The first time the Phils would end up in second place in the NL East would occur in 1975, when they finished second to the Pirates, finishing the year with a record of 86-76, with a .531 winning percentage, finishing 6.5 games before the Pirates. The second time they would end up in second place in the NL East would happen in 1982, as they trail the Cardinals, ending up with a record of 89-73, with a winning percentage of .549, finishing 3 games behind the redbirds. The third time they would finish second in the NL East would be in 1986, as they finished behind the New York Mets with a record of 86-75, with a .534 winning percentage, trailing by 21.5 games. The fourth time they would finish the season in second place in the NL East would not occur until 2001, when they finished behind the Atlanta Braves with an 86-76 record, a winning percentage of .531, ending up 2 games out of first. The Phils will then end up in second place in the East, missing being the wild card winner each season, in 2004, 2005, and 2006, finishing behind the Braves in 2004 and 2005 and then behind the Mets in 2006. In 2004, they finished the season with an 86-76 record, a .531 winning percentage, as they finished 10 games behind the Braves. In 2005, they finished the year with a record of 88-74, with a winning percentage of .543, 2 games behind the Braves. In 2006, they would end the baseball season with a record of 85-77, a winning percentage of .525, 12 games in back of the Mets.
Of their thirteen finishes in second place, six occurred as a member of the NL, and the other seven as a member of the NL East. They would finish in second place once in the 19th Century, eight times in the 20th Century (5 (NL), 3 (NL East)), and four, so far, in the 21st Century as a member of the NL East. Their best record in second place was when they finished second in 1964, when they finished with a record of 91-70. Their worst second place finish was in 1887, the first time they would finish second, as they had a record of 75-48. Their highest winning percentage would be the .610 of 1887, while the worst would be the .525 of 2006. Their best game behind finish was when they ended a game behind (with the Reds) in 1964, while their worst was when they fell 21.5 games behind (the Mets in the East) in 1986.
With the way the Phils are presently structured, they could remain as either a first or a second place team in the NL East for several more seasons.

Naomi Duguid's Chopped Roasted Peanuts
These nuts are a key ingredient to many Burmese dishes (like Banana Flower Salad) and are worth roasting and chopping in bulk so you'll have them on hand.
Reprinted with permission from Burma: Rivers of Flavor by Naomi Duguid. Copyright 2012. Published by Artisan. Available wherever books are sold. All rights reserved.
- Yield:makes 1 cup
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:25 minutes
- 1 cup raw peanuts, with or without their papery skins
Place a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat, add the peanuts, and cook, stirring them frequently with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent burning. Adjust the heat if necessary so they toast and change color gradually, in patches; as they heat up, the skins, if still on, will separate from the peanuts. When they have firmed up a little and are dotted with color, remove from the heat, but keep stirring for another minute or so.
If using skin-on nuts, carry the skillet over to a sink or a garbage can and blow over it gently to blow away the loose skins. Rub the nuts between your palms to loosen the remaining skins and blow again; don't worry if there are still some skins on your peanuts. Pick out and discard any nuts that are scorched and blackened. Transfer the nuts to a wide bowl and set aside for 10 minutes or more to cool and firm up.
Once the peanuts are cool, place them in a food processor and process in short, sharp pulses, stopping after three or four pulses, before the nuts are too finely ground. You want a mix of coarsely chopped nuts and some fine powder. Alternatively, place the nuts in a large stone or terra-cotta mortar and pound with the pestle to crush them into smaller pieces. Use a spoon to move the nuts around occasionally; you don't want to pound them into a paste, just to break them into small chips.
Transfer the chopped nuts to a clean, dry jar; do not seal until they have cooled completely. Store in the refrigerator.

We've added another member to the crew, Jason, and his first day is a tough one. The haul up the first mountain is long and steep. Then we go back down. Then we start back up again. I walk a bit ahead and as the day progresses my lead increases. Jason is a smoker, but assures me that within a week he'll be "battle hardened"; little do we know that it won't take him nearly that long. As we start our final ascent of the day Jason stops and gasps, "I've gotta take a fiver." I'm about 40 feet in front (and 20 feet above) him, so I sit on a nearby rock and wait. I'm not concerned. I figure he'll do okay--at least as well as anyone else could be expected to do.
As Jason stumbles wearily up the dirt road I see Carl on a deer stand—more like a deer platform—that someone has built way up in a high-tension tower. He waves and it looks like he's having fun, so I stop and once he comes down I go up. At the top the platform (a piece of wood simply laid across a corner angle) is small and the footing precarious. It's a very long way down. I wonder for a moment what hunter would be crazy enough to sit up here with a gun waiting for a deer to pass by below. Then I quickly realize there's plenty of 'em. Hell, now I'm up here too.
Alright, there's a little photo trickery here. The first and third shots are from Hamilton County, not Marion. That middle photo is from inside a coal mine in Sequatchie County. Did you know you can die from going in old coal mines? The culprit is known as "black damp." We'll get to that later.

Spring is the time of year when we set our clocks ahead one hour, clean out the last of the winter messes, and prepare for another season of "Dancing with the Stars."
The long-running ABC dance competition enters its 14th season, and it once again presents a unique gathering of celebrities for America to root for (or against). Here's who will be competing when the show returns with a two-hour premiere on March 19th:
Steve Urkel himself, former "Family Matters" star Jaleel White, will be paired with dancer Kym Johnson.
U.S. & World
Singer Gavin DeGraw has the good fortune to be linked with current champ Karina Smirnoff.
"The View" host and "30 Rock" star Sherri Shepherd will match steps with Val Chmerkovskiy.
"Extra" correspondent Maria Menounos snags Derek Hough.
The legendary Gladys Knight will appear, sans Pips, alongside Tristan MacManus.
Dancer Peta Murgatroyd will teach some grace to Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver.
Tennis icon Martina Navratilova is paired with Tony Dovolani.
The rest of the field is made up of former "Little House on the Prairie" star and current Screen Actors Guild president Melissa Gilbert (paired with the controversial Maksim Chmerkovskiy), former soap star Jack Wagner (paired with Anna Trebunskaya), Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan (paired with Chelsie Hightower), actor and model William Levy (paired with Cheryl Burke), and singer Katherine Jenkins (paired with Mark Ballas).

TheForgivenOne wrote:40kguy wrote:I like the idea just a few suggestions
offten times when i feel like ending the game or making it a draw, It is a statement with some people eliminated. How about we spread those points out to the people who can still win. For example me tdans and jsnyder are in the game, but ljex blitz and lindax are eliminated, we split up those points.
Again, this won't be happening. I've had to repeat this over and over and over again over the last few days. This is too easily open up for abuse.
I remember this has been suggested before and the only way I was going to be for it was if it was a unanimous vote and no points were awarded, which Mets picked up. There is absolutely no way this could be abused (well, ok, maybe there is, like if two people who account sit for each other are in a 1v1 and one guy, who's losing, decides to log in to the other one and cancel the game, but that's pretty unlikely).
I fully support this suggestion.

Sleep and Your 4- to 7-Month-Old
By this age, your baby should be well on the way toward having a regular sleep pattern. Some infants, particularly those who are breastfed, may still wake at night. But most no longer need a middle-of-the-night feeding.
How Long Will My Baby Sleep?
Most babies this age should sleep 12 to 15 hours a day, which includes a longer stretch at night and at least two naps during the day, says the National Sleep Foundation. The average amount of daytime sleep is now about 3 to 4 hours.
By 6 months, most babies are sleeping at night for 9 hours or longer, with brief awakenings.
How Should Babies Sleep?
The American of Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends room-sharing without bed-sharing until the first birthday or for at least 6 months, when the risk of SIDs (sudden infant death syndrome) is highest.
Room-sharing is when you place your baby's crib, portable crib, play yard, or bassinet in your own bedroom instead of in a separate nursery. This keeps your baby nearby and helps with feeding, comforting, and monitoring your baby at night.
While room-sharing is safe, putting your baby to sleep in bed with you is not. Bed-sharing increases the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related deaths.
Follow these recommendations for a safe sleep environment for your little one:
- Always place your baby on his or her back to sleep, not on the stomach or side. The rate of SIDS has gone way down since the AAP introduced this recommendation in 1992. Once babies consistently roll over from front to back and back to front, it's fine for them to remain in the sleep position they choose.
- Use a firm sleep surface. Cover the mattress with a sheet that fits snugly. Make sure your crib, bassinet, or play yard meets current safety standards.
- Do not put anything else in the crib or bassinet. Keep plush toys, pillows, blankets, unfitted sheets, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, and bumper pads out of your baby's sleep area.
- Avoid overheating. Dress your baby for the room temperature, and don't overbundle. Watch for signs of overheating, such as sweating or feeling hot to the touch.
- Keep your baby away from smokers. Secondhand smoke increases the risk of SIDS.
- Put your baby to sleep with a pacifier. But if your baby rejects the pacifier, don't force it. If the pacifier falls out during sleep you do not have to replace it.
- Watch out for other hazards. Avoid items with cords, ties, or ribbons that can wrap around a baby's neck and objects with any kind of sharp edge or corner. Look around for things that your baby can touch from a seated or standing position in the crib. Hanging mobiles, wall hangings, pictures, draperies, and window blind cords could be harmful if they are within a baby's reach.
Helping Your Baby Sleep
You may have started a bedtime routine that you're sticking to. If you haven't yet, now is a good time to start. Soothing activities that lead up to "night-night" time can help relax your baby. A warm bath followed by stories or singing will signal an end to the day, and these same activities can be used at bedtime for years to come.
You'll want your baby to fall asleep on his or her own. This may mean doing your nighttime routine and putting the baby into the crib while he or she is drowsy but still awake. If the baby cries, stay away for a few minutes. Your baby may settle down and go to sleep.
If the crying continues, go back in and soothe your baby for a moment without picking him or her up. This may go on a few times until your baby figures out that the crying is not getting results. This can be tough for parents, since it's upsetting to hear your baby cry. If you know your baby is safe, it's OK to give him or her time to settle down.
Why Does My Baby Wake at Night?
Even a baby who has been sleeping through the night will sometimes wake in the wee hours. Allow some time to let your baby get back to sleep on his or her own. Give your baby a few fussy minutes before you respond. Then, after checking to see that everything is OK, leave your baby alone to fall back to sleep. Remember: Any cuddling, feeding, or talking you do may prompt your baby to wake each night for this attention.
Separation anxiety, a normal stage of development, can cause some babies between 6 months and 1 year old to call out or cry in the middle of the night. If this happens, as with other awakenings, give your baby some time to settle down. If needed, give brief reassurance to your little one without taking your baby out of the crib.
When to Call the Doctor
Most infants at this age will have a regular sleep routine and are able to sleep through the night. But there is a wide range of normal. If you have any questions about your baby's sleep, talk with your doctor.
