Here are some of our favorites that you can easily tackle over the weekend. Get Some Inspiration As you probably know, we have a ton of featured workspaces workspaces you can check out to get inspired. You don't have to recreate your entire office from scratch, either. A few small visual changes can make things look fresh, and some new organization options (which we'll talk about in a minute) can eliminate little problems when you're trying to get things done. If you want a few pointers, remember to choose good lighting, appropriate storage containers, and the best chair you can afford. Make a Better Desk If it's time for a new desk, buying one isn't the only option. There are plenty of really awesome desks you can make on your own. One easy possibility is to combine a door with IKEA table legs. A wooden pallet is another great option. If you just want to upgrade an existing desk, adding an outlet or two is a good place to start. Wire baskets can also add quite a bit of extra storage if you need it. If you want a standing desk, you don't need something new to get one. You can just add an extra removable level. Get Organized Easily First things first, evaluate your space. Then you'll want to check out these 10 great ways to streamline your workspace as well as a comprehensive guide from getting out from under your office crap. More specifically, the patient penicillin method and the quick-and-dirty four container method are both useful. If you're just having trouble getting started, however, you may need to simply figure out what's keeping you from cleaning up. Organization supplies can get pretty pricey, but fortunately there are lots of DIY alternatives. You can make a storage system out of PVC pipe, and outlet-hanging charging station for your gadgets, create a network rack out of a letter tray, attach your power strips to the underside of your desk for easy-access power, or just use an old sock. Conceal Your Cables and Keep Them Easily Accessible There are lots of ways to hide cables from view. Just use some PVC pipe (that you potentially have leftover from making an office supply holder), a drawer pull (great for larger, thicker cables), a phone cord (to keep them nicely wrapped), and binder clips (to make certain cables easily accessible). If you just want flat cables you can stick to the wall and paint over like they're not even there, you might like Flatwire. If you have some leftovers and need to store them, try a cardboard tube or a shoe organizer. Or don't hide them at all. We've featured several solutions for creatively displaying your cables in plain sight, and that can be more compelling than pretending they don't exist. Got more great home office upgrades?

Below you can see most of Toshiba's 2010 consumer notebook lineup. Most of these are from the Satellite consumer line, but there is also the Qosmio X505 which is a gaming computer/desktop replacement and the Mini NB305 netbook.
A brief overview of the systems:
- Mini NB305 – Toshiba's netbook. A follow-up to the excellent NB205.
- Qosmio X505 – Core i7 equipped desktop replacement. Lots of power and a toned-down style from previous gamer-focused models.
- Satellite L505 – 15.6-inch display, Core i3 or AMD-powered budget notebook.
- Satellite M505 – 14-inch budget notebook, Intel Core or AMD processors.
- Satellite E205 – Best Buy Blue Label model featuring a new exterior design. Features Intel Wi-Di wireless display technology, 14-inch display, and Core i5 processor. Will sell for $999.
- Others include parts of the Tecra business series and the Satellite A505 16-inch consumer notebook. The T115 and T135 also got AMD processor options.
Toshiba's 2010 isn't looking too exciting. The NB305 should do well, based on the success of the NB205 and the X505 is looking interesting as well, though Toshiba hasn't been able to do much in the high-power/gaming category. Toshiba stuck with the same types of designs you would expect from them, with the only major departure being the E205. This model will be sold at Best Buy stores and got a sleek design and slot-loading optical drive that is clearly designed to do two things: turn heads at big box stores and win over consumers that are considering the MacBook.
Overall, Toshiba has a number of affordable options that will make sense for a huge number of casual PC buyers but that seems to be as far as their ambition took them.

For this week's nonscientific survey of insiders in government and politics, we asked about issues important to conservatives and to Hispanics, and about whether Texas Republicans have a good shot at a majority of Hispanic voters in the near future.
The latest Texas secession talk may be nothing more than political fodder, but at least one of the state's politicians is taking it seriously.
Your evening reading: women's health providers to appeal directly to federal government for funding; Paul calls secession a "deeply American principle"; F1 subsidy debate continues
Does George P. Bush have his sights set on the Governor's Mansion?
Your evening reading: Cruz says Romney "French-kissed" Obama; new Super PAC formed to help Republicans on immigration; Obama administration rejects Perry's request for renewable fuel waiver
With national Republican leaders recuperating and reassessing after last week's election, a humbled John Cornyn has followed suit.
Your evening reading: Perry says state won't implement health insurance exchange; Cornyn says elections exposed GOP "brand problem"; state leaders adopt spending cap
With speculation about 2014 heating up, the spotlight in Texas has turned squarely to George P. Bush.
Your evening reading: Jeb Bush asks donors to back son for land commissioner; Cornyn elevated to minority whip; Sessions elected chairman of Rules Committee
Despite big losses for Republicans last week, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn today will likely take on his most powerful role in the party yet.

"When You Wish Upon A Star, A Cure For Cancer Isn't Far" is the theme of Gannon University's Relay for Life on Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., rain or shine, at Gannon University Field, 430 Sassafras St.
The event, a popular fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, gets underway with an opening ceremony at 10 a.m. A ceremony honoring cancer survivors is at 11:30 a.m. and a "Fight Back" ceremony at 1 p.m. The climax of the day will come after dark when luminary candles will be lit to remember those who were lost to cancer, at 8:45 p.m.
The event is a popular campus project, said Gannon Relay for Life organizer Whitney Douglas, a junior physician assistant major from Morrow, Ohio. "We have a club on campus and we spend all year preparing for this event."
The preparation is necessary because the Gannon event offers more than the usual Relay format of walking laps, though that is still the centerpiece of the event.
On-site fundraisers involving nine Gannon University clubs and associations will be part of Saturday's event. The events and their associated organizations are:
Bake Sale (Locks for Hope)
Can jam games (Alpha Kappa Psi professional business honorary society)
Corn hole tournament (Alpha Sigma Tau social sorority)
Dream catcher sale (Sigma Sigma Sigma social sorority)
Fruity tropical drinks sale (Gannon University Residence Life)
Hot dog sale (Alpha Sigma Alpha social sorority)
Ladder golf games (Alpha Sigma Tau social sorority)
Popsicle sale (Gamma Sigma Sigma service sorority)
Walking taco sale (Gannon University Society of Physician Assistants
Fundraising has been going on all year long; a sale of t-shirts for the event sold 190 shirts and raised $1,400 for the American Cancer Society.
Douglas expects 250-300 participants, many of whom will be cancer survivors, and the public is invited to participate. Registration will be available at the event and online here.

The 37's (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
While investigating the origins of a 1936 Ford truck floating in space, Voyager discovers a 434-year-old Earth mystery on a distant planet. (Season Premiere)
The USS Voyager detects traces of rust in space. Because the absence of oxygen in space prevents iron from rusting, Captain Janeway decides to follow the particle trail. They discover an ancient Earth automobile, a 1936 Ford truck, floating in space.
Act OneEdit
When investigating their find in one of Voyager's cargo bays, Tom Paris manages to start the truck (old Earth cars are his hobby), which promptly backfires and startles everyone. While investigating the truck's AM radio, he discovers an odd radio signal. When Janeway asks Ensign Kim why the signal was not detected, Kim explains that Starfleet vessels only monitor their standard frequencies. AM signals are not within this spectrum because they only travel at the speed of light, too slow for interstellar communications. The signal they have found turns out to be an old Earth distress call, called an "SOS".
The decision is made to follow the signal to its origin, but the planet it emanates from is Class L. The planet's atmosphere is charged with trinimbic interference, making communications on the surface and use of the ship's transporters impossible. With use of a shuttle impractical due to the scale of trinimbic interference, Janeway decides to land Voyager itself on the planet, reasoning that whatever brought the truck to this planet could be used to bring them home. This is the first time Tom Paris, Voyager's helmsman, lands an Intrepid-class ship on a planetary surface, but the operation proceeds smoothly.
Act TwoEdit
An away team is sent out to locate the source of the signal and finds an old Earth airplane. Investigation of the plane leads to an alien power source which is powering its AM radio, still sending the SOS. Meanwhile, other members of the away team have found a mineshaft that seems to be the source of the tritanium readings detected by their tricorders. After entering the mineshaft, they find five cryostasis chambers. One of them contains eight Human bodies, although with minimal life signs. When Janeway rubs off some condensation of the stasis chamber containing a Human female, she notices a name tag on her jacket. It reads "A. EARHART" – Amelia Earhart, one of the first female aeronautical pioneers from Earth's 20th century.
When the away team returns to Voyager, they discuss their findings in the briefing room. Janeway gives the crew a brief history of Earhart; she was one of the first female pilots in Earth's history, flying across the Atlantic Ocean and later attempting to fly around the world. However her plane mysteriously vanished in the South Seas, and when no wreckage was found many theories were coined about what happened. Janeway notes that ironically the ridiculed theory appears to be correct... that she was abducted by aliens. It appears that all eight Humans are from the 1930s. Reluctant to leave them asleep for possibly more centuries, particularly when they could provide a clue about how they arrived in the Delta Quadrant, the decision is made to remove them from stasis. As a precaution, only Human crew members will be present, so as not to shock them. The exception is Kes, who can easily pass as a Human, as she needs to be present to check their medical status.
When all the Humans are removed from stasis, they wonder about the people who found them. They are told they were believed to be abducted by aliens from Earth in the 1930s, but they only seem to remember the day before. Now, over four hundred years later, Fred Noonan, Earhart's navigator, is very distrustful and draws a revolver, taking the away team hostage. Although Captain Janeway tries to prove the existence of aliens by having Kes show her Ocampan ears, Earhart does not believe her, noting that she has seen before how people from all over Earth can mutilate themselves. Meanwhile, Commander Chakotay has detected alien lifeforms, and after warning Captain Janeway and learning of the hostage situation, he, along with Tuvok, accompanies a security team to free the away team. Fortunately, Earhart's curiosity provides Janeway the opportunity to persuade her and the other revived Humans to leave the mineshaft and to return to Voyager so that she can prove to them everything she told was true.
Meanwhile Tuvok and Chakotay's team is watched as it approaches the mineshaft.
Act ThreeEdit
After leaving the mineshaft, they find Tuvok's security team pinned down by alien weapons fire. In this skirmish Fred Noonan is hit but is dragged to safety by Harry Kim. With the help of the away team, the aliens are overpowered when Janeway covertly comes behind them and subdues one of the attackers with her phaser. It turns out the aliens are actually Humans as well, descendants from the Humans abducted from Earth in 1937 by the Briori. Back on Voyager, one of them, John Evansville, explains to Janeway and Chakotay that the people they revived are the 37's, and are revered by them as monuments to their ancestors, who were held as slaves. They managed to free themselves from Briori oppression, destroying the Briori ship and its technology in the process. Janeway's hope of using the ship to get back to Earth is thus lost.
Meanwhile, Noonan has been treated for his wounds by The Doctor in Voyager's sickbay. Thinking he will die, he confesses his love for Earhart, but takes it back when he finds himself cured. Earhart promises to forget what Noonan said to her.
Since defeating the Briori, the former Human slaves have built a society, by now consisting of over 100,000 individuals and three cities that Evansville describes as "beautiful". He invites the entire crew and the 37's to tour the cities, with Evansville telling Earhart that he would be honored to show her around once she is introduced to him as one of the 37s. The tour itself is impressive and reminds many Voyager's crewmembers of their home back on Earth.
- "Captain's log, stardate 48975.1. Evansville wasn't exaggerating when he said they have a lot to be proud of here. It was an amazing experience, but it's left me a little disturbed."
When Evansville tells Captain Janeway that they are invited to stay and live out their lives on this world, she struggles to make the right decision. In her ready room, she discusses the invitation with Chakotay. Although she is the captain and responsible for the ship and its crew, she feels she cannot decide for everyone and worries that she may be leading the crew on a hopeless journey in the vain hope of getting home. Chakotay tells her that there's not a day goes by when he doesn't hear someone mention Earth, and while the settlement on the planet is certainly impressive, it doesn't beat seeing the sunrise over the Arizona desert or to swim in the Gulf of Mexico on a summer day... he wants to go home. Captain Janeway decides that everyone should decide for themselves whether they want to stay or not, but this in itself creates a problem; if too many crewmembers decide to stay—Chakotay estimates that the ship needs a crew of at least 100—Voyager will become undermanned and so force the remaining crew to remain as well. Despite the risk, Janeway tells Chakotay to prepare the crew for a ship-wide announcement.
Act FourEdit
At 14:00 hours that day, Captain Janeway informs the crew that those wishing to stay should assemble in the cargo bay at 15:00 hours. In Voyager's mess hall, Neelix tells the 37's he is staying on board because the captain would be lost without him. To stay or not to stay is also discussed by B'Elanna Torres and Harry Kim. Kim is not looking forward to spending his whole life on a starship. There are more people who thought that way, according to Torres. While outside Voyager and looking to the blue sky, Captain Janeway is told by Amelia Earhart that the 37's have decided to stay. Although she would have liked to pilot Voyager through space, Earhart felt more connected to the Humans on the planet because they were, after all, a part of all the 37's.
While walking to the cargo bay, Janeway and Chakotay speculate on who will stay and who will leave. Chakotay speculates that Jarvin will want to leave, as he has had a harder time adjusting to serving on a Starfleet ship than most, and has started a relationship with another crewmember in quantum mechanics and they may decide to settle down. Janeway thinks that another likely candidate is the adventurous Walter Baxter who may welcome the challenge of creating a new life on a new planet. Both Janeway and Chakotay agree they'd hate to lose Jarvin or Baxter... in fact, they'd hate to lose anyone but neither could blame any individual who chooses to stay behind. The two come to a stop outside the cargo bay and Janeway hesitates, but Chakotay places his hand on her shoulder and assures her that no matter how many people are waiting on the other side of the door, they'll make it. With the support of her first officer and friend, Janeway summons the courage to walk inside the cargo bay... and it is empty – a fact that visibly moves Kathryn deeply.
When Kathryn Janeway and her first officer enter Voyager's bridge, she nods to her bridge crew in acknowledgment of their decision to stay. She then orders condition blue and inertial dampers to flight configuration. Voyager lifts off watched by Evansville, Noonan and Earhart, and the crew resume their long journey back home.

Background information Edit
Introductory details Edit
- This episode was written and produced for Star Trek: Voyager's first season. Brannon Braga noted, "This is the episode we designed to be the final show of the season." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 81)
Story and script Edit
- This is the only Star Trek episode that was ever written as a collaboration between Jeri Taylor and Brannon Braga, despite a number of similarities between their tenures on Star Trek. Both production staffers were hired during the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, worked as executive producers on Star Trek: Voyager at one point (Taylor served in that position between 1994 and 1998, after which Braga held the title between 1998 and 2000), and co-created a Star Trek spin-off series (Taylor was a co-creator of Voyager whereas Braga co-created Star Trek: Enterprise).
- One motive that the writers had in developing this story was that they wanted it to be a turning point for the crew banding together and complaining less about missing home. "We were interested in having the crew show a little solidarity and standing together saying, 'We will make the best of this situation,'" Brannon Braga explained. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 81)
- The writing of this episode was an uneasy process. Brannon Braga admitted, "We struggled with the story a little bit." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 51)
- One factor that the producers of Star Trek: Voyager found difficulty with deciding was whether this episode's story should be a single episode or a duology. Brannon Braga recalled, "I was the only voice on the staff that was saying this should be a two-parter, but it would have had to be a cliffhanger, and since this was [...] designed to be the final episode, nobody really wanted to do a cliffhanger in our first season. I disagree; I think there's a wealth of material in it, and it should have been a two-parter." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 51)
- As originally scripted, B'Elanna Torres was not only to discover Jack Hayes inside the cryo-stasis chamber but also comment (immediately thereafter), "From these clothes, I'd say he could be a farmer."
- The episode's script specifies that, for blue sky that can be seen through the windows of the briefing room, a "painted backdrop" was to be used.
- The placing of one dramatic moment was moved between the scene's scripted version and its final, televised edit. Both versions of the shifted section take place during John Evansville's discussion with Janeway and Chakotay, in Voyager's briefing room. The moment involves Janeway commenting to Evansville that she and the rest of the Starfleet crew were hoping to locate the vessel that brought his ancestors to the planet and perhaps use it to quicken their return journey to Earth. Evansville then apologetically reveals that the Briori ship was destroyed when their Human slaves revolted, a revelation that influences Janeway and Chakotay to exchange a disappointed look. This moment is placed earlier in the scripted version of the scene than in its final version.
- Much deliberation went into deciding how to end the episode, uncertainty that resulted in the absence of the cities that are referred to but never shown. Jeri Taylor explained, "The fact is that the whole fifth act evolved late into the process. The story changed in the script stage and seeing those cities was never really an element until so well into it that there was no way to do it." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 84)
- The scripted version of the episode's penultimate scene, wherein Janeway and Chakotay visit the cargo bay to find it is entirely empty, differs from the scene's final version; the Ford truck was originally to have still been present in the cargo bay and Chakotay was presumably to have reacted more to the finding than he does in the scene's televised edit as – referring to both he and Janeway – the script states that, "relief and joy threaten to overwhelm them." Brannon Braga once described this sequence as "very touching". (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 51)
- The script states that the spectators watching Voyager's takeoff, in the episode's final shot, were to have been "the group of 37's, Evansville and his colleague". However, the televised version of this shot includes only Earhart, Noonan, and Evansville.
- The final draft of this episode's script was submitted on 1 May 1995. [1]
- Brannon Braga ultimately felt that the difficulties he and Jeri Taylor encountered during the writing of this episode had a positive impact on its plot. He observed, "If you look at the episode again, you'll see that the first three acts are rip-roaring fun, and in the fourth and fifth acts, it takes a very different emotional turn, which I like because it's very unexpected. What you think is going to be a story about alien abductors and displaced Human beings from the past actually turns in on itself and becomes a story very much about our crew. The unexpected result of all this is that our crew finds itself in a situation where they have to consider stopping this crazy voyage home and possibly settling down on a planet that's quite nice. That, I think, is very satisfying because it's unexpected and makes it about us." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 51)
- In summation, Brannon Braga noted, "I'm very happy with 'The 37's.' It's a dangerously broad concept, but I think it's really delightful." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 51) He elaborated, "I think it's just the kind of show we should be doing: far-out, high-concept shows. It was a hit-and-miss kind of episode. There was some fun stuff, but in the end it really wasn't about much. I thought it was fun. I really enjoyed the meeting of Amelia Earhart and Janeway, the first woman of flight and the ultimate woman of flight. There was some very cool stuff in there." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) Braga also remarked, "It's a big show [....] It's great to see Earhart and Janeway together: the first woman of aviation and the epitome of women in aviation. And it ends on a real positive note." (Star Trek Monthly issue 7)
- One point of contention between Brannon Braga and Jeri Taylor was the cities that are not shown in the episode. Braga commented, "I think where we got into trouble was with the Humans who had evolved differently and the big cities that we never see. That's where you groan. Up until that point, I thought it was intriguing." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) Jeri Taylor countered, "Sometimes you have to compromise. I don't see this as a big deal." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 84)
Cast and characters Edit
- Actress Kate Mulgrew was very happy about Janeway's encounter with Amelia Earhart: "It had marvelous resonance for Janeway. Amelia Earhart was her hero. She was well versed in the life of Amelia Earhart. Janeway's a little bit of a historian and to actually confront her... was I think... a kind of epiphany for Janeway... to meet her and to share their humanity and the same essential struggle. I think that's what Janeway came away with, that the heart of an aeronautical heroine remains the same centuries later. It's the same drive and impulse to explore and to confront dilemmas with great courage and humanity. And I think that was reflected in those scenes between Earhart and Janeway." (Star Trek: Voyager Companion) Mulgrew also stated, "What a brilliant concept. Janeway meets her idol, Amelia Earhart, and she learns. Every time Janeway gets to learn, via somebody who... either has preceded her or has a deeper knowledge of what she is seeking, it is terrific for Janeway." (VOY Season 2 DVD) In summation, Mulgrew noted, "I loved the idea of Janeway meeting Earhart." Mulgrew added, however, "I wish it had gone a little further in that respect." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 24)
- The role of Amelia Earhart was first offered to actress Sharon Lawrence after casting director Junie Lowry-Johnson had become aware of Lawrence's Emmy Award nominated performance as District Attorney Sylvia Costas in the crime drama NYPD Blue. Lawrence remembered, "Junie, of course, knew my work and knew how to access me. When the Earhart part came about, they were looking for somebody who had what they perceived to be a professional strength about them. That's something people perceive Sylvia to have, so they thought of me." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 7)
- The idea of playing Amelia Earhart immediately appealed to Lawrence. "When they asked me to play Earhart," she explained, "I just had these visions of her as one of our greatest national heroines. I read the script and what I liked about it, besides [the idea of] playing someone who was a real person, was the relationship she develops with Janeway. I was really happy about that. I loved the idea of playing a character who worked with a woman in a professional capacity." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 7)
- The opportunities inherent in the role drew Sharon Lawrence to accept the part, even though she had – in her adulthood – lost touch with Star Trek, as a viewer. "I watched the original Star Trek growing up," Lawrence recalled, "but most of my career, until I moved to Los Angeles, kept me away from the television set. I was always touring, or performing in New York, on stage. I was interested in playing Earhart and working with Kate. And that is why I said yes." (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) Lawrence also noted, "I've always been fascinated by Amelia Earhart and to get the chance to play this type of character is something I just couldn't pass up." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) The actress elaborated, "The idea of getting into the head of somebody like Earhart and adding the fantasy element of what might have happened to her was so interesting to me." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 7)
- Prior to portraying Amelia Earhart, Sharon Lawrence was already familiar with Chakotay actor Robert Beltran. She explained, "Robert Beltran and I had worked together in Los Angeles at the Mark Taper Forum. So, it was wonderful to spend some time with him, because we really had enjoyed each other's company when we first met." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 8)
- Sharon Lawrence was also a fan of Kate Mulgrew. Lawrence explained, "I had been a fan of Kate's since I first saw her on [the soap opera] Ryan's Hope." Lawrence, who had been born into the community of a mid-size town in the Southern state of North Carolina, had found that the luxurious lifestyle of Mulgrew's character in Ryan's Hope very much appealed to her. "So, to work with Kate," Lawrence continued, "was a kick because I had so many frames of reference with her. We spent a lot of time talking about being an actress, about how she juggles being an actress and a mother. She has a theater background and so do I. So, it was a pleasure to work with her [....] I was just so impressed with her professionalism." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 8)
- When asked about the episode, Lawrence also stated, "Well, the most exciting part of that job for me, besides the honor of playing a version of Amelia Earhart, was working with an actress who I have admired for many years, Kate Mulgrew. It was delightful! Because the relationship that Earhart and Janeway shared was easily influenced by the relationship Kate and I shared. To play peers and leaders, rather than a domestic or familial relationship. It always feels good to me." (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) Lawrence also said of her relationship with Mulgrew, "It was wonderful to play two female space or aircraft pilots. That was a wonderful opportunity for me." (30th Anniversary Moments, VOY Season 3 DVD special features) Elaborating on the similarities between the two characters, the actress said, "With Earhart and Janeway, you have two professional pilots, two women who have made rather courageous and unusual choices in their lives." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 7)
- For her part, Kate Mulgrew was delighted to work alongside Sharon Lawrence. Recounting this experience, Mulgrew exclaimed, "Great fun, great fun! Had a crackerjack actress on the other side. Sharon Lawrence really played the hell out of that role." (VOY Season 2 DVD) Although Mulgrew experienced difficulty with performing in the episode, she also found that Sharon Lawrence raised the episode's quality. Mulgrew said of the episode, "That one was incredibly hard work. Almost every scene was a monologue. The show was elevated instantly and throughout by Sharon Lawrence–what a beautiful actress [....] Whenever we were alone together or addressing one another, it so deepened the show." In summation, Mulgrew commented, "I loved shooting every second of that show." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 24)
- Sharon Lawrence enjoyed the experience of working not only with Kate Mulgrew but also with everyone else involved in the episode's production. "I'm very pleased with the work we did," she explained, "and I loved the people [....] I have to say that I was impressed by everyone involved with the show. All of the actors have to deliver this vast amount of virtually unreferenced text that they have on Star Trek." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 8) In summation, Lawrence remarked, "It was just a great experience." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) She also noted, "I enjoyed Voyager. I was impressed with the stories and I loved their use of the holodeck." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 8)
- Nogami's name is never mentioned in the televised version of this episode but comes from its script. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary)
Production Edit
- This was the first of four Voyager episodes to be directed by veteran Star Trek director James L. Conway. Kate Mulgrew remarked, "I [...] loved working with the director, Jim Conway. He did such a good job." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 24)
- During production on this episode, executive producer Rick Berman's influence on the series became evident to Sharon Lawrence. "Rick Berman oversaw every detail," she said. "You're up there in his office and he's checking out costumes and make-up. He doesn't let a thing go by without approving it himself." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 8)
- Scenes set on this episode's planet surface were actually filmed on location at Bronson Canyon. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) In fact, this was the second installment that partly filmed in that location for Voyager's first season; the filming location had previously been used for "State of Flux". (Delta Quadrant, p. 63; [X]wbm) Lisa White again worked as location manager on this episode, having previously served in that position during Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and episodes produced earlier in Voyager's first season. The announcement that the cast would be going on location was greeted with immediate enthusiasm. Kate Mulgrew explained, "You know, when you're in the bottle too long – by that, I mean... as you know, that means a ship show – you do three or four bottle shows back-to-back and everybody starts to get wacky. So you're right, the minute location was announced, everybody went delirious with joy." (VOY Season 2 DVD)
- The twin-engine airplane used as Amelia Earhart's plane was actually a Lockheed L-10 Electra. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) Although this designation is not given in episode dialogue, it is the same kind of plane that Earhart flew during her ill-fated around-the-world expedition in 1937 and can be visually identified in the episode. The plane is not specifically named in the episode's script but a note states, "This is Amelia Earhart's airplane – same color, markings, etc."
- The effect of the explosive charges fired at the away team was created by the series' special effects team, under Dick Brownfield's supervision. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) The weapons that the Human inhabitants of the planet use in this sequence were stock rifles that previously appeared in TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II", "Starship Mine" and "Gambit, Part I". (Delta Quadrant, p. 63)
- The filming of this episode wrapped on 12 May 1995. (Star Trek Monthly issue 5, p. 10)
Voyager's landing Edit
- This episode is the first time in Star Trek history that a Federation starship lands on a planet and returns to space. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) For the original Star Trek series, the fact that showing the Enterprise landing each week would have been prohibitively expensive for a television budget had led Gene Roddenberry to instead come up with incorporating the time-honored science fiction concept of matter transmission into the series; hence, the transporter had been conceived, as a quick and inexpensive means of getting Roddenberry's characters from the starship to the surfaces of planets. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary, The Art of Star Trek)
- The idea of granting Voyager the ability to land was conceived long before this episode. In reference to the ship's landing, Brannon Braga noted, "That's something we've always thought the ship could do." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 51) In fact, this landing capability was originally suggested by Michael Okuda during the early stages of Star Trek: Voyager's development, as a way of defining the then-new starship design as separate from those of previous Star Trek vessels; in a 27 September 1993 memo to Rick Berman, Okuda stated, "Suggest we give the starship the ability to land on a planet surface. This is not something we'd want to (or could afford to) do every week, but this could be something that sets the new ship apart from previous vessels. Maybe it'd be something we could do two or three times a season." (A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, p. 207)
- Several early design concepts for Voyager, rendered through CGI by illustrator Rick Sternbach, were clearly influenced by the idea of making the starship be the first built to land on a planet. The vessel's designers also purposefully included landing-leg panels on the blueprints of the ship, just in case the writers ever chose to go ahead with the challenge of landing Voyager. (The Art of Star Trek) Rick Sternbach recalled the design process: "The initial description of the ship said that it had a landing capability. When the miniature was first designed, all we had were four small hatches in a very logical place, at the bottom of the engineering hull, and those hatches were built into the model." (Designing the USS Voyager, VOY Season 2 DVD special features)
- When it came time to write this episode, the prospect of landing Voyager seemed appealing. "We were eager to do it," Brannon Braga recalled. "We said, 'Hey, this is the final episode; let's land the damn ship!' So we did." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 51)
- However, it was only after the writers decided to land the ship that the physical mechanism required for it to do so was visualized. Rick Sternbach explained, "It wasn't until the episode 'The 37's that the legs had to be designed." The process of designing the landing legs was somewhat difficult. Sternbach noted, "The overriding consideration on designing the landing gear was it had to fit in the belly of the ship, so I had a bit of a challenge trying to fold all of the toes and foot parts into the hull." (Designing the USS Voyager, VOY Season 2 DVD special features) One of the blueprints of Voyager, illustrated by Sternbach in April 1995, features the finalized look of the ship but a landing-leg design that was still to be slightly tweaked before it was ready. (The Art of Star Trek) Sternbach recounted, "You know, I went back to the blueprints of the model and said, 'OK, we can have some telescoping parts and we can have the toes unfold.' And, in a series of sketches, we were able to see how the legs could deploy." Sternbach and his team then passed these designs to the visual effects artists. Sternbach recalled, "We gave that all to the CG artists and we saw that ship land on TV." (Designing the USS Voyager, VOY Season 2 DVD special features) One of the visual effects groups that were involved in creating the landing sequence for this episode was Santa Barbara Studios. (Star Trek Monthly issue 10, p. 15)
- Visual effects producer Dan Curry used a five-foot, styrofoam, foam-core mock-up of Voyager to plan camera angles, scale and perspective from still photos of the mock-up taken during a scouting trip to the filming location of Bronson Canyon. These still photos were subsequently touched up by Curry using acrylic paint, to give an idea of how the actual filmed scenes could later be altered in the "computer paintbox." (Star Trek: Communicator, issue #105, p. 56) Curry said of the mock-up, "It was larger than the available toy, which gave us the opportunity to photograph it as a forced-perspective miniature, so we could see how it would look in frame and we could compose frames to allow for the landed ship." Visual effects supervisor Ronald B. Moore recalled, "We went out and we did shoot references. And it was all at Bronson Canyon, so we had to paint a lot of stuff out. Dan is... just a genius at doing that kind of stuff." ("Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2", VOY Season 2 DVD)
- However, Dan Curry determined, at one point, that the ship was too large to fit into the canyon. Also, without visual effects, the side view of the immobile Voyager would show the Hollywood sign. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) The visual effects team therefore endeavored to cover up these facts of geography. Curry recounted, "We used the mouth of the entrance to Bronson Canyon and then did a matte painting – I think I did that matte painting in Photoshop – so that it extended the space and we got rid of the Hollywood sign and the other things that are normally there, so it looked like a desolated planet." ("Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2", VOY Season 2 DVD)
- Although Rick Sternbach had created a concept painting that depicted a full-scale landing leg set piece, such a prop was not ultimately constructed. (The Art of Star Trek) Instead, the landing struts were created – especially for this episode – as a physical model that was used here in conjunction with a set of computer generated legs. (VOY Season 2 DVD text commentary) The latter set of legs were included in the landing sequence, which was visualized entirely using CGI, whereas surface shots of the landed ship amid live-action footage used models. (Star Trek: Communicator, issue #105, p. 56) One reason why the landing sequence was done via CGI was that working the landing struts would be impossible if they were connected to the studio model of Voyager. Curry recalled, "The feet mechanism [...] we did CG, because they had to be mechanical and there was no way we could make them fit the five-foot miniature and actually work. But we had little stand-in feet that we could put on that, too." ("Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2", VOY Season 2 DVD) At least one of the four add-on landing legs were applied to the Voyager studio model by Image G employee Dennis Hortzer. Another reason why the landing struts were not motorized on the model was because, at the start of Voyager's first season, no-one knew how long it would be before the original concept of a landable ship would be utilized. (Star Trek: Communicator, issue #105, p. 56)
- An added touch to the model was via the use of brown paper, which diffused reflected glare. Dan Curry explained, "When we shot the miniature [...] we put brown paper underneath the miniature so it would match the color of the ground, so that it would have a true reflection of what a ship in the real context would be like, by creating an environment to reflect light into it that was similar to where the location would be." ("Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2", VOY Season 2 DVD)
- One problem with the shots including the landed Voyager was that the producers thought the landing struts, even when fully extended, looked too dinky, scale-wise, in comparison with the rest of the ship. Consequently, the producers – during post-production – took steps to strategically place rock outcroppings and other features of terrain so as to partially obstruct the audience's view of the struts. (A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, p. 255)
- Another problem with the shots was that the visual effects artists had unknowingly made the CGI Voyager smaller than the ship would be, in reality. Ron Moore recalled, "We put this all together [but] [...] we had really made the ship too small [....] I don't think you can tell on the show because there's nothing really to relate it to; the people are in the foreground, the ship's in the background and we kinda kept it that way." ("Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2", VOY Season 2 DVD) Regarding the visualization of Voyager's landing, however, Moore additionally said, "I don't think we did it well. The scale of the Voyager on the ground was incorrect." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 110)
First airing and aftermath Edit
- Although this episode was originally intended to be the first season finale of Star Trek: Voyager, UPN held the episode back to air as the premiere of Voyager's second season, in order to launch the season before other networks would unveil their programming. (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) In fact, this episode was one of four that were produced in the first season but aired during the second, the others being "Projections", "Elogium" and "Twisted". Of these four episodes, this was the only one that was not a bottle show. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 76)
- Having become less involved with Voyager towards the end of its first season, executive producer Michael Piller returned to the series for its second season, only to find that the upcoming season had been saddled with the leftovers of the previous year, all of which Piller thought had good premises but were some of the weaker installments filmed, as the production staff had been tired and running out of finances during the episodes' shooting. Piller stated, "Even the episode with Amelia Earhart, while it had a wonderful premise, I just felt that it never added up to anything after the first one or two acts. I just never felt a payoff." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) In particular, Michael Piller (in common with Brannon Braga) was dissatisfied with the fact that the Human colony is never shown. He said of the episode, "It created the conceit that there was a Human colony on a planet in space and that it was so attractive that our people had to consider that maybe this was going to be home. That was really the fundamental conflict of the last half of that show and we never show the colony. That didn't work for me. That's what happens when production dictates the vision." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 83) Additionally, Piller remarked, "Amelia Earhart being the victim of an alien abduction along with several other people is major hokey. It's very old Star Trek. But we did get to land the ship, and that's pretty amazing." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages)
- Jeri Taylor felt that, instead of starting Season 2, this episode should have instead ended the first season. She explained, "I think it worked better as a season ender than as an opener, but so be it." She elaborated, "It was a franchise-oriented show, and having the season close with that sort of brave feeling that we've banded together, we're not going to stay on some planet, we're committed to each other and let's head home would have been a nice way to conclude the first season." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages) On the other hand, she also stated, "It's a good show and I'm sure it will work nicely to kick the season off. Since the audience will perceive this as the beginning of the next season, there's no reason not to go with the show with the highest production values." (Star Trek Monthly issue 6)
- Brannon Braga was also disappointed that this episode was not used as the finale of the first season. Referring to this installment indirectly, he stated, "The episode we were going to send the first season off with was a very high-concept, action-adventure episode, and that got pushed [....] I was disappointed about that, but it also meant we had a kick-ass opening episode for the second season." (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5, p. 50)
- Rick Berman once proudly referred to this installment as "a great episode." (Star Trek Monthly issue 10, p. 11)
- Prior to this episode's first airing, persistent rumors abounded that the episode featured George Takei. (Star Trek Monthly issue 8) He would indeed appear in Star Trek: Voyager, but not until the 30th anniversary installment "Flashback". That episode, like this one, was filmed during production of one season but aired in the next; in "Flashback"'s case, produced in the second season but intentionally held back for airing as the second episode of the third season. Other rumors about this episode were that Voyager would come across the Borg homeworld, that the super-powered Willard Decker would appear in a manner curiously befitting Q and that Captain Janeway would be killed. (Star Trek Monthly issue 10)
- This episode achieved a Nielsen rating of 7.5 million homes, and a 13% share. It was the most watched episode of Voyager's second season and the second most watched season premiere of the entire series, topped only by the pilot episode "Caretaker". [2] This episode also had the earliest first airing of any season premiere in Star Trek history (28 August 1995); Star Trek television seasons usually premiered in September.
- Despite its high viewing figures, the episode has repeatedly failed to appear in the top five of fan polls testing the popularity of episodes in Star Trek: Voyager's second season. (Star Trek: Communicator issue #108, p. 18; [3])
- Cinefantastique gave this installment 2 out of 4 stars. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 28, No. 4/5, p. 76)
- The unauthorized reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 65) scored the episode 6 out of 10.
- Tuvok actor Tim Russ felt that this episode provided a precedent that more episodes of the series should follow. He commented, "I'd like to see more of what this episode is like. More wild and fantastic discoveries and things. I don't mean just spatial anomalies. I mean cultures and races and beings and ideas that are a challenge, which has always been the case for the science-fiction fanatic. I really like that kind of thing. Stories and things that are bizarre and unusual, things that you've never seen before or never thought about before in certain terms." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages)
- Shortly after working on this episode, Kate Mulgrew and Sharon Lawrence both hoped to again work with or at least casually meet each other in the near future. "We've tried to get together since then," Lawrence commented, "but it hasn't worked out. We've definitely been on the phone together." Regarding the prospect of returning to the series, Lawrence enthused, "I would love to see what becomes of Amelia Earhart. It would also be great to work with Kate and everyone else again. Of course, I would do it again." For her part, Mulgrew noted (in indirect reference to both the writers and Lawrence), "I hope they have her come back on the show." This is, however, the only Voyager episode that features Lawrence, playing Amelia Earhart. (The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine, issue #5)
- It was not until the production of the two-parter "Basics, Part I" and "Basics, Part II" that Star Trek: Voyager's visual effects team realized that, in this episode, they had made the landed Voyager smaller than it would be in reality. Ron Moore offered, "We didn't realize [that] until much later [....] It's a kind of thing that we're aware of now, painfully aware of it, although – in a situation like that – we know where we were, we know where we shot it, we know how much room is there, even when you open it up on the back. And so to us, it became obvious." ("Red Alert: Visual Effects Season 2", VOY Season 2 DVD) He also stated, "We didn't realize it until we [...] shot 'Basics, Part I' and 'II'." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 110)
- Among the items which were sold off on the It's a Wrap! sale and auction on eBay were this episode's costumes of John Rubinstein, [4] Dennis Madalone, [5] and Rita Dail. [6]
Continuity Edit
- Although Voyager's landing capability is first demonstrated in this episode, the other times in which the ship safely lands on a planet's surface are in the Season 2 finale "Basics, Part I", the fourth season's "Demon", the Season 6 episode "Dragon's Teeth", and Season 7's "Nightingale". Furthermore, the ship is implied as landing in "Basics, Part II" but is only seen in an atmosphere, prior to setting down.
- In this episode, Janeway states that the year is 2371. This is the same year in which the events of the first season are set, as established in VOY: "Eye of the Needle".
- The plotline here involving the Voyager crew resuscitating cryogenically-frozen Humans from the 20th century is similar to a plotline in TNG: "The Neutral Zone", a precedent set by Captain Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-D.
- This is one of numerous episodes in which famous historical characters appear on Star Trek, including episodes such as TOS: "The Savage Curtain" (featuring Abraham Lincoln), TNG: "Descent" (with Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking present in the episode's teaser), VOY: "Darkling" (including Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Byron), and VOY: "Scorpion" (featuring the first of five appearances of a holographic Leonardo da Vinci in the series). However, this is the only case where the historical figure featured is the original person, rather than a hologram or some other form of duplicate, with the exception of Mark Twain in TNG: "Time's Arrow, Parts I and II".
- Like the 37's in this episode, Janeway and her crew are essentially abducted by an alien influence in the pilot episode of Voyager, "Caretaker".
- Whereas this episode references Mars, the planet can be seen later in the second season of Voyager, as it appears in the episode "Lifesigns" as part of a holodeck program used by The Doctor.
- This is the first episode of Voyager in which the ship's combined crew complement is mentioned, as Janeway states, "There are a hundred and fifty-two men and women on this ship." (Star Trek: Voyager Companion)
- Whereas this episode features cryogenically frozen Humans from the 20th century being found by members of Voyager's crew, Voyager crew members would later be found frozen themselves, in the fifth season episode "Timeless". The starship's crew (with the exception of The Doctor and Seven of Nine) are similarly held in stasis in "One", but – in that case – their duration in stasis is of their own accord.
- The text commentary of this episode claims that, at the time of the episode, Voyager has traversed three hundred light years of the Delta Quadrant.
- Tom Paris' passion for vintage automobiles is further referenced in the fourth season episode "Vis à Vis", in which he has created a holoprogram nicknamed "Grease Monkey" – essentially, a garage wherein he becomes obsessed with a 1969 Chevy Camaro. As with this episode, "Vis à Vis" also references the inner workings of such a vehicle, including its fuel, internal-combustion system and noxious emissions.
- This episode marks the first time that Torres is seen to be in command of Voyager when Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, and Paris are on the planet's surface.
Video and DVD releases Edit
- CIC Video released the four season 1 "hold-over" episodes in their production order, as part of the first season release. This is the second episode in Volume 1.10, which begins with "Twisted". Volume 2.1 begins with "Initiations".
- As part of the VOY Season 2 DVD collection

Maybe "Glee" will give us insight into Sue Sylvester's (Jane Lynch) prickly personality … or at least her penchant for matching tracksuits.
Comedy legend Carol Burnett first told Zap2it exclusively back in May that she'd love to guest star on "Glee."
"Oh, I would definitely do it. I'd do whatever they wanted me to, but I'd like to have a few scenes with Jane Lynch. I love her," six-time Emmy winner Burnett told us.
And now it appears Burnett's gotten her wish and will be playing Sue's mother this fall, according to an EW report.
We're kind of digging the resemblance, and having a comedy legend drop by can't hurt.
There's not much known about Mama Sylvester. It had been assumed she was dead, but if that's true then maybe she'll only appear in flashbacks. If she's indeed alive, we have a few questions that need to be answered:
1) Why isn't she around to help out Jean Sylvester?
2) Did she really hunt Nazis? Sue made a reference to this in Season 1.
Burnett will supposedly appear in an October or November episode.
Reps for the show have not yet confirmed the casting.

HOLDRS Holders, Get Ready to Do Some Math
For the six Merrill Lynch HOLDRS being converted to Van Eck Global ETFs next quarter, long-term investors participating in the exchange will have some number crunching to do.
Last month, Merrill Lynch and Van Eck announced that Merrill was parting ways with their once ground-breaking ETF-like products known as HOLDRS. Organized as unit investment trusts, the seventeen trusts did not have the flexibility to update or rebalance their portfolios.
Six HOLDRS are being bought by newly-created Van Eck ETFs tracking the 25 largest and/or most liquid companies in a particular sector. The other 11 are heading to the financial products graveyard. While stock ETFs are lauded for their tax efficiency, particularly around capital gains, this conversion will have some bumps. Whether those bumps are good or bad will depend on when you bought in and whether you take the exchange.
HOLDRS, which can only be bought in round lot multiples of 100, pass on the cost basis of all the underlying shares. So, when the portfolios rebalance into the ETFs, any capital gain or loss is based on the price at which you bought. You'll have to dig through brokerage statements from as far back as 2000, but Merrill Lynch does provide a calculator for the underlying shares cost basis, once you've found the price and date.
If you don't take the exchange, according to Van Eck Global's Adam Phillips, you can cancel your HOLDRS and take the shares or sell in the market. With no action, you will be cashed out when the HOLDRS trust expires sometime after the exchange offer commences in mid-November.
Based on yesterday's closing, here are the rebalancing rates:
ETF/HOLDRS Name | Ticker | % of Portfolio to Sell ( as of 9/26/11) | Total Assets, $M (9/29/11) | 30-Day Average Daily Trades |
Oil Services | OIH | 28.21 | 1840 | 5645082 |
Semiconductor | SMH | 43.43 | 538 | 12539615 |
Pharmaceutical | PPH | 52.6 | 479 | 318545 |
Biotech | BBH | 63.51 | 247 | 10883 |
Retail | RTH | 26.11 | 140 | 868899 |
Regional Bank/Bank & Brokerage | RKH | 76.17 | 68 | 266909 |

Sunshine on a cloudy day
The floatie I bought for our backyard swimming pool wasn't exactly what I had planned. I wanted one of those lounge chairs with thick arms that hold a beverage and a body above water.
At a third of the cost, I bought a floating papasan instead that allows me to relax but it doesn't keep me upright.
I was disappointed at first, realizing I got just what I paid for. Then when I laid back and noticed the fluffy cloud formations above, my regret vanished.
The shaking hands, upside down turtle and pointed ice cream cone hovering overhead made me grateful for my horizontal position.
Most people would prefer sunbathing under a bright blue sky uncluttered by poofs of white. I, on the other hand, am partial to the cotton-like formations that test my psyche like a Rorschach inkblot test.
Clouds are fascinating if you take the time to study them. Simply put, they're a bunch of tiny water droplets attracted to each other. The more droplets that gather, the whiter and brighter the cloud becomes.
There are lots of different scientific names for various types of clouds. Cumulus clouds are usually the "pretty" ones but any cloud can turn an average sunrise or sunset into a spectacular one.
Think about it. The sun's golden glow turns from yellow to orange to red and disappears with little drama as the burning globe falls below the horizon during a clear sunset.
Add clouds and the colors expand to include streaks and blotches of pinks and purples that are rarely matched in paint cans. The evening show lasts longer also when the light can reflect off those miniscule air particles.
Clouds have gotten a bum rap. These predictors of bad weather, symbols of negativity and gloom actually reflect color to create incredible scenes in the sky.
There is a life lesson in all of this: We do all we can each day to avoid the trials and hardships that obstruct our view of ultimate happiness and yet when we overcome those adversities, we add color and inner beauty to our lives.
Clouds build character, add vividness and separate the bland from the brilliant.
I see that as a silver lining.

The NFL leaned heavily on the Baltimore Ravens when crafting its newest commercial that promotes its new women's apparel line. The 30-second spot, which premieres tomorrow during the Ravens game against the Denver Broncos on NBC, features coach John Harbaugh and player Ray Rice's jersey.
Harbaugh's speech to the Ravens in 2009 serves as the commercial's dramatic voice-over. Rice's jersey is also modeled.
"When we listened to those words we thought it was a speech that could transcend to our fans," said Jaime Weston, the NFL's vice president of advertising and creative. "It didn't hurt that they are Super Bowl-winning champions. Nothing was better than the Ray Rice jersey at the end with the model doing his pose. It perfectly summed up the spot."
The commercial is the latest attempt by the NFL to court women, who account for 45 percent of its fan base, according to Weston. It features fashion bloggers like Lindsey Calla, who publishes the Saucy Glossie blog, as well as the wives of NFL players Jason Witten and Ray Farmer.

On the heels of his title-winning fight of the year performance against the world's top lightweight Eddie Alvarez, Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler returns to face former UFC lightweight Akihiro Gono at Bellator 67 on Friday, May 4 from Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada.
"Casino Rama has been a spectacular home to Bellator over the last year, so bringing our Lightweight Champion and the man who provided 2011's Fight of the Year to Rama was an easy decision to make," Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney said. "As always our fight card will be stacked from top to bottom with many of the world's best fighters, so I expect nothing less than a packed house once again on May 4."
After Chandler's amazing fourth-round submission victory against then champion Eddie Alvarez at Bellator 58, the undefeated champion knows that he's the one now with the target on his back.
"I'm just excited to get back into the cage," Chandler said. "I fought four times in 2011 and I'm ready to get back to work. Gono has beaten some of the best fighters in the sport and this should be a good test for me."
With 32 career wins, Gono has fought some of the world's best. And with wins over reigning Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard and world-class middleweight Gegard Mousasi, Gono has beaten some of the world's best. Known for jumping weight classes, Gono has a solid reputation of never turning down a fight, and he will have his hands full when he takes on Bellator's Lightweight Champion on May 4.
Edmonton native and Canadian fan favorite Ryan "The Real Deal" Ford will make his Bellator debut against 12-year MMA veteran Luis "Sapo" Santos, who enters the fight with an incredible 50-7 professional record. The two welterweights will square off in non-tournament action, and should provide fireworks.
Tickets for this event are on sale now and are available at Ticketmaster.com and in-person at the Casino Rama Box Office. The event will also be broadcast LIVE starting at 8 p.m. EST on MTV2 and in commercial-free HD on EPIX. The preliminary card will be streamed on Spike.com starting at 7 p.m. EST.

Lobstermen union meets for 1st timeAP , Associated Press
Aug. 11, 2013 10:15 AM ET
BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Lobstermen who want to form a union to lobby for them in Augusta and to negotiate prices for their catch are meeting for the first time. Fishermen who are forming the Maine Lobstering Union are gathering Sunday in Bangor at the Ramada Inn. Opening remarks will be open to the public, then the meeting will be closed to begin the process of nominating officers and beginning a process for nominating officers. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers has been recruiting fishermen fed up with low prices for their catch and growing expenses. The Maine Lobstermen's Association, a trade group with about 1,200 members, has questioned whether negotiating lobster prices would run afoul of federal antitrust laws. © The Associated Press.
