In a world that has been fossil fuel dependent for decades, many people and companies are finally realizing the financial, social, and environmental benefits of alternative energy and are going green. Alternative-energy is by no means a new idea. Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize in Physics in the year 1921 "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect," and in his research he discovered how solar energy to be converted into electricity.
While solar power projects such as adhesive solar panels may be getting the majority of attention, wind power is being put to use for everything from converting salt water into drinking water to generating electricity. This concept of "going green" is so contagious that you might be surprised who decides to join the bandwagon.
Oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens decided to go green by investing in alternative energy. To start out, he's already bought 667 1.5 megawatt wind turbines from GE and plans to put them in a massive stretch of land in Texas, which could quite possibly enable the wind farm to become the world's largest, producing power to maintain 1.3 million homes.
Pickens' project is scheduled to start construction in 2010, spanning the Texas counties of Roberts, Gray, Hemphill and Wheeler. The massive project would encompass 200,000 acres of land and the number of active turbines could be as high as 2,000. Some of the larger turbines will put out around 2.5 megawatts of power each. Keep in mind that that each megawatt can provide energy to 250 Texas homes as stated by American Wind Energy Association's Susan Williams Sloan.
So why is the Pickens so interested in wind power? He believes wind power to be both stable and available. He states, "The Department of Energy came out with a study in April of '07 that said we could generate 20 percent of our electricity from wind. And the wind power is -- you know, it's clean, it's renewable. It's -- you know, it's everything you want. And it's a stable supply of energy."
What do the landowners have to say in the matter? Pickens' spokesman Mike Boswell says, "We have entered into a limited number of agreements with a limited number of landowners to put in some test towers." Boswell also states that the deal with the landowners should be finalized by the end of summer.
While it hasn't been built yet, Pickens financial expertise should get his wind farm off the ground and running. This project definitely looks like it's off to an interesting start. Will Pickens be as successful in the alternative energy industry as he was in the oil business? Only time will tell.

PR can be a tough business. Not with life or death pressures, certainly, but tough in the sense of gaining respect for what you do, who it benefits and why it matters. We're often caught at family gatherings trying to explain what we do, only to stare into a sea of confused faces and at least one elder asking us what it's like to be a journalist. Many journalists question the value of PR executives and, on more than one occasion, have been known to make their distaste for the profession clear. Clients can also be tough to win over, especially if they do not fully understand the value that PR can provide to their business and how that value is achieved. Trying to please both of the aforementioned audiences on an ongoing basis is enough to question one's career path. As a client service profession, the demands can be high, expectations unreal, kudos fleeting and the need to prove yourself never-ending.
So why are we in the business? How is it possible that we continue to persevere and help some of the most interesting companies increase market mindshare and reach their target audiences day after day? There are a lot of reasons, but the best reason for those of us at PerkettPR has to do with our specialty, high tech. We're actually in this business for the same reason a lot of journalists, bloggers and clients themselves are – we love technology.
And, as one of the first entities pulled into the conversation when a new business is born or product is on the horizon, we get to learn about the latest and greatest services, applications and gadgets long before the rest of the world.
We have had an ongoing invitation to board rooms around the world to watch some of the most engaging, enthusiastic and extremely intelligent entrepreneurs at work. We are there as they envision and create the serious business tools and fun personal gadgets that continue to evolve the world's way of working and playing. And despite the sometimes bad reputation for PR as "controlling and misleading," those of us in high tech are really more focused on the fun task of telling as many people as possible about all these fabulous new technologies that continue to shape our society. Educating people on how technology continues to enhance the world around us – and make everyone's lives more fun and productive – is a big part of our job and why we love it.
Tech PR executives, like the team here at PerkettPR, have been privy to some of the business world's most confidential conversations, helping to shape the rollout of technologies and products – and even industry evolutions such as Web 2.0 – that people will stand in line for – or pay others to do so – for days at a time. We learn about the most exciting new technologies – from SaaS to CRM, VoIP to CEP, social networking to Internet search, video-on-demand to online photo sharing – years before the general public. We have seen technology innovation move at a rapid fire pace – through engineering departments to the depths of HR, from consumers to specialized groups such as doctors, Baby Boomers to Millenials – the growth never ends. It's an incredibly exciting industry to be in and it doesn't stop. We have the privilege to work with top innovators from all around the world, enabling us to always learn something new – and valuable – every single day.
Whether it's why blogging matters to how a router works, to what AJAX is or how different businesses in different parts of the world build teams and track metrics, we utilize this information not only to benefit our clients, but to build a better company here at PerkettPR. We've been there to celebrate many tech successes and we've seen – and learned from – our share of industry hiccups.
While we still might not be able to explain to our friends just what we do, we always get a kick out of watching their expressions when we hint at what's coming next in technology…so stay tuned, because as the buzz continues around the return of tech IPOs and what lessons we all learned from the dot com bust, we plan to be right in the middle of it – always.

Super day for auctions rate
MELBOURNE'S patchy property market passed its first serious test at the weekend, scoring an initial auction clearance rate of 66 per cent.
Concerns there would not be enough buyers for the 1100-plus auctions were allayed by the strong showing, the highest clearance rate for nearly two years.
The Real Estate Institute of Victoria reported the results from 1053 auctions, with 87 still outstanding and 13 postponed or withdrawn. This is still some short of the 1180 originally scheduled for the weekend.
The equivalent ''Super Saturday'' in 2010 took place on October 23 when 1031 auctions yielded a 68 per cent clearance rate.
Buyers' advocate Christopher Koren declared the so-called Super Saturday ''super with a small s''. ''It was a glass half-full Saturday but a clearance rate of 66 per cent still means 33 per cent did not and there are some unhappy people this week,'' Mr Koren said.
Some of the properties at the top end failed to lift but were sold afterwards. The most expensive house sold was 4 Como Avenue in South Yarra. The Harold Desbrowe-Annear designed property attracted a single genuine bid and sold after the auction for an undisclosed price believed to be more than $4 million.
However, in North Carlton, Nelson Alexander agent Nick West sold a double-fronted Edwardian at 985 Drummond Street for $2.17 million after strong bidding from three parties.
The four-bedroom house, which had been in the one family for 35 years, was sold for $315,000 past its reserve of $1.85 million.
Mr West said the rare big family homes in the inner suburbs were being fiercely contested by locals who want to stay in the area.

LASIK is eye surgery that permanently changes the shape of the cornea (the clear covering on the front of the eye) in order to improve vision and reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis; Laser vision correction
For clear vision, the eye's cornea and lens must bend (refract) light rays properly, so that images are focused clearly on theretina. Otherwise, the images will be blurry.
This blurriness is referred to as a "refractive error." It is caused by a difference between the shape of the cornea (curvature) and the length of the eye.
LASIK uses an excimer laser (an ultraviolet laser) to precisely remove corneal tissue, giving it a new shape so that light rays are focused clearly on the retina. LASIK causes the cornea to be thinner.
LASIK is an outpatient surgical procedure. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to perform for each eye.
The only anesthetic used is eye drops that numb the surfaceof the eye. The procedure is done when you are awake, but you will get medicine to help you relax. LASIK may be done on one or both eyes during the same session.
LASIK involves creating a flap of corneal tissue which is then peeled back so that the excimer laser can reshape the corneal tissue underneath. The amount of tissue the laser will remove is calculated ahead of time. Once the reshaping is done, the surgeon replaces and secures the flap. No stitches are needed. The cornea will naturally hold the flap in place.
LASIK is most often done on people who use glasses or contact lenses because of nearsightedness (myopia). It is occasionally used to correct farsightedness. It may also correct astigmatism.
The FDA and American Academy of Ophthalmology have developed guidelines for who would be a good candidate for LASIK.
Other recommendations:
For patients with presbyopia, it's important to note that LASIK cannot correct vision so that one eye can see at both distance and near. However, LASIK can be done to allow one eye to see near and the other far, which is called "monovision." If you can adjust to this correction, it may eliminate or reduce your need for reading glasses.
In some instances, surgery on only one eye is required. If your doctor thinks you're a candidate, ask about the pros and cons.
A small percentage of people may need to have another surgery because the condition is over- or under-corrected. Sometimes, you will still need to wear contact lenses or glasses.
Risks may include:
A complete eye examination will be done before surgery to make sure your eyes are healthy.
A signed informed consent form is needed before the procedure. This form confirms that you know the procedure's risks, benefits, alternative options, and possible complications.
Most people's vision will stabilize in a few days after surgery, but for some people it may take up to 3 - 6 months.
Some people need a second surgery to get the best possible results. Although a second surgery may improve distance vision, it may not relieve other symptoms such as glare, haloes, or problems with night driving. Often, these problems will go away by 6 months after the surgery, but a small number of people may continue to have problems with glare.
If your distance vision has been corrected with LASIK, it is likely that you will still need reading glasses at around age 45.
LASIK has commonly been performed in the United States for more than 15 years. Most people seem to have stable and lasting vision improvement.

Volquez interested in returning to Dodgers as starter
By Ken Gurnick and Austin Laymance / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- Edinson Volquez said negotiations with the Dodgers that led to his signing Friday did not include any assurances for 2014, but he likes the idea of staying beyond this year.
"Why not?" said the 30-year-old right-hander, who was released this week by the Padres with a 6.01 ERA. "I like what I'm seeing right now. The guys here are nice guys. They may bring me back."
The club has decisions to make about the back end of next year's rotation. Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu are signed long-term. Clayton Kershaw will be back at least via arbitration, if not a new contract.
But Josh Beckett and Chad Billingsley are coming off season-ending surgeries. Ricky Nolasco is a free agent who will command a multi-year raise from his current $11.5 million salary. There's an $8 million mutual option for Chris Capuano. If management wants cost containment, it can turn to prospects Stephen Fife, Zach Lee, Ross Stripling and Matt Magill.
After Volquez's scoreless inning in his debut Friday, manager Don Mattingly said a start is being planned, but the date is not set. Volquez considers himself a starting pitcher, and he again took batting practice with the starting pitchers.
"Now it's a matter of Rick [Honeycutt, the pitching coach] looking at the schedule and how we want to match up going forward," Mattingly said. "Do we want to give guys an extra day or two? That will kind of dictate what we do.
"With the off-day, it gives everybody the extra day. Then we hit another stretch there where there are no days off. Depending where we're at and what's gone on, that's when we start making decisions on extra rest without getting them out of routines. I think that's the main thing. You start messing with Kersh and Zack, they don't like getting out of their routines. We're going to try to keep guys in routines as much as we can, but also be careful with them if we can be."
Volquez said he began watching video Saturday with Honeycutt, who noticed a difference in his current mechanics compared to 2008, when Volquez won 17 games and was an All-Star.
"He saw a little difference in the way I break my hands from my glove at the start," said Volquez.
Kemp won't return until he's comfortable at plate
LOS ANGELES -- Matt Kemp's ankle is ready, but his bat isn't.
Manager Don Mattingly said Kemp won't rejoin the Dodgers until he feels comfortable at the plate, and so far he doesn't. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk Sunday in a fourth rehab game with Rancho Cucamonga and Mattingly said he needs more Minor League game action before he plays in the Major Leagues.
"We talked last night," said Mattingly. "I wanted to make sure where he's at and where we're at. We want, and he wants, to be ready when he steps back in. He needs to be comfortable and ready to compete. Matt's in the same spot.
"I know he doesn't feel good at the plate. He's not pushing us. He'll play today and the thought is to continue to play, we just don't know the logistics."
After missing five weeks with a sprained left ankle, Kemp is 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts in four rehab games. Kemp has played in 62 of the Dodgers' 135 games in the first year of an eight-year, $160 million contract.
Worth noting
• Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez homered twice on Friday against the Padres, and he is hitting .387 with six homers, five doubles, 23 RBIs and 13 runs scored in 23 games against his former team.
• Kershaw, Greinke and Nolasco combined for a 13-2 record and 1.30 ERA in August.
• Former Dodgers broadcaster Ross Porter threw out the first pitch on Saturday. Porter announced Dodgers games for 28 years from 1977-2004.

Hendersonville Pediatrics honored
The National Committee for Quality Assurance has announced that Hendersonville Pediatrics, at 600 Beverly Hanks Center, has received recognition from the Physician Practice Connections Program for using information systems to measure practice-wide clinical quality and improve clinical outcomes at the point of care.
Physician Practice Connections recognizes those practices that use information systematically to improve the quality of patient care. Practices meeting program standards use their systems to identify patients who need care, measure quality across their entire practice and ensure that abnormal test results receive follow-up. Such approaches have been shown to improve medical outcomes and to reduce errors. Numerous studies, including the Institute of Medicine's Fostering Rapid Advances in Health, have called for the systematic use of health care information, including more widespread adoption of information technology such as electronic health records.
"Good information at the point of care is crucial to delivering quality health care," NCQA President Margaret E. O'Kane said. "Physician Practice Connections identifies those clinicians who make the most out of clinical information they have on hand to make better decisions and provide better follow-up. Patients notice and appreciate the improvements in care. The clinicians at Hendersonville Pediatrics are to be commended for their achievement in earning recognition."
To receive recognition, which is valid for three years, Hendersonville Pediatrics met key program measures in some or all of the following areas: use of patient registries, partial or full use of electronic systems, provision of educational resources in English and/or a second language, practice-wide quality measurement and improvement efforts, screening, referrals and follow-up for at-risk patients, and structured care for patients with chronic conditions.
For more information about the program, visit www.ncqa.org/ppc.
Lecture on clearing the subconscious
The Appalachian Chapter of the American Society of Dowsers will host a lecture by Damaris Drewry titled "Who's Driving Your Bus: Clearing Subconscious Programs that Run the Body" from 1-4 p.m. Nov. 17 at Unity Center, 2041 Old Fanning Bridge Road, Mills River.
Drewry, who has a Ph.D. in psychology, is a shamanic healer, body dowser, Earth grid singer and lifelong student of mystical and esoteric traditions. For 25 years, she has taught vibrational medicine and sound healing for organizations including the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, the American Society of Dowsers, the Institute for Noetic Sciences, and the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology.
Drewry will explain how to release physical and emotional disorders caused by early trauma.
Early traumatic events create "programs" that run in the subconscious background of the body's biocomputer, Drewry says. People have the power to clear the emotional charge from those traumatic events and stop the tape that is running in the background, she says, and the results are immediate and transformational.
Basic dowsing classes will begin at 11:15 a.m. Admission is $10 for non-members and free for members. For more information, visit www. appalachiandowsers.org.

Model S reserved but am I really belonging to the target market? :'(
Model S reserved but am I really belonging to the target market? :'(
You left out a couple of critcal pieces of info...
I assume you are getting an 85KW version (Highly suggested). 200Kms = 125 Miles (just so we are all on the same units). How long do you anticipate keeping the car? I assume you mean 0 degrees Celcuis, which equals 32 degrees farenheit. What is the average speed you will be driving?
Throw all that into http://www.teslamotors.com/goelectric#range and see what range it comes out with... Then take 30% off for degredation and that tells you what you should expect at year 8. If the numbers all work, then you are good to go.
We have the same situation. Car will be for my wife as she also commutes 125 miles 5 days a week with an occasional 200 mile commute, mostly highway. About 30k miles per year.
This car should be perfect for her. She does have an opportunity to use one of the Superchargers (halfway to work) but most likely will not since she wouldn't need to. (and there's an outlet mall right there which will cost us much more than gas)
Our temps only rarely reach the 30s F so won't see much loss of power.
We have no hesitation that this will work for us.
I tried this response before but evidently timed out. I will try again.
I have had my car for a few weeks and I have taken it to work about 4 times. I live in Chicago area, so the temps are pretty cold. The round trip is about 70 miles. When the temperature has been above 20 degrees F, no issues whatsover. The cold weather decreases mileage by about 10-15%, which is about the same for my ICE. I start with about 230 miles and get home with about 150-160. I park in an open garage structure. One day I drove there when the temp was about 10 degrees F and wind about 30 mph. I arrvied with 180 miles rated left and lost about 15 miles after sitting in the garage for 3.5 hours. Because the battery was cold, on my return trip I was a little anxious when my estimated miles left went to 57. But after about 10 miles it warmed up and I cruised home with about 130 miles remaining.
Your situation seems reasonable. I would take some steps, such as making sure that the battery is warm when you leave home, charge at your destination if possible. But otherwise, I specifically upgraded to the 85 Kwhr battery so that I could travel 125 with no worries.
As far as the battery life is concerned, there are several more threads on that. I would check them out. You are going to save a lot of money on gas.
Just take a little time to get to know your car and you will be fine.
Is there any chance you could charge the car at work? That would totally eliminate any doubt. You should talk to your employer - even a 220V regular outlet should help.
There should be no doubt. The 200km should be doable with a standard charge even after battery is down to 70%, with a nice reserve. After seeing what the car can do in Norway (362km in -10degC going over a mountain pass with serious net elevation gain) I'd be confident it can do 400km@65mph on a range charge in 0degC weather.
400*0,9*0,7=252km. Even range is only 350km you are good to go. 350*0,9*0,7=220km.
If you get access to workplace charging, you are good to go down to very low remaining battery state. You only need a standard 16A outlet to regain the 62,5 miles driven to work in 7-8 hours. This would allow you to cycle the battery more shallow (good for cycle life) and save you some fuel expenses if you don't have to pay for the electricity yourself.
You'll probably save over €3000 per year in fuel alone. A prepaid new battery after 8 years might cost €12000 or so after tax, so you still save large amounts of money.
I would not hesitate to get the Model S if I were in your position.
As far as battery degradation, there are threads on the Tesla Motor Club forums. I seem to recall Roadster owners experience about 1% degradation per year. My feeling is the car would work for you, especially if you're able to plug in at work to avoid vampire losses.
You will also need to consider snow if you get any. We had our first good snow in a long time yesterday. My average watt/mile went to 619 driving thru 5" with heavy winds and snow still falling. The roads were not cleared. My car with the 19" wheels drove fine even when I was trying to get stuck on hills in a local park. At times my watt mile went to 950ish.
You will get about 125 miles give or take in that kind of bad weather.
Wow... Quality thread, great info
Regard that "70% in 8 yrs" as equivalent to "70% in 100,000 miles." But then realize that engineers actually consider that a worst case, and actually expect double the time (half the degradation), so you should get 16 yrs or 200,000 miles, whichever comes first, before you hit 70%. Maybe better if you're not "pushing" the battery.
Also, since nothing is known about European supercharger locations yet, it is quite likely that one will be available to you by that time, in which case the battery usefulness is extended indefinitely (and degradation gets slower as it ages, not faster/worse).
Your main risk and problem will be the same as every other owner's: the car is just so much damn fun to drive and zip around with that you will use much more charge than you plan!!
About charging speed: 1C charging is 85kW, by definition. LiIon batteries do fine right up to 4C or more (especially with active cooling like TM's). That's 340kW. So even Superchargers do no harm (despite comments and rumours to the contrary.)
Seriously doubt that you will have problems. There are numerous postings on this forum regarding temperature, speed, hills, and other factors, you can devote a few hours and learn a lot. To me, your requirements should not push the limits of the Model S. I've owne the car since early December. Many people drive faster than you, in colder climates.
First, 265 miles = 426 km, and the standard charge of 240 miles = 386 km. I have a rough rule of thumb, realistic real life range is 80% of rated range. 65 miles per hour is not going to affect my 80% rule. 80% of 386 = 309 km. In demanding situations, such as lots of hills, far below freezing temperature, 75 miles/hour, your range can decrease materially.
Using a conservative 70% of rated range for somewhat difficult real life conditions, you still have 270 km of range. Yes, all of the above assumes a new car, and 30% degradation over the long term will take your real life range below 200 km using the 70% rule rather than 80%. However, Tesla's degradation estimate on the Roadster turned out to be worse than realized degradation (battery performed better than expected), and I don't expect 30% degradation over 100,000 miles for Model S.
I think you will be fine, and after driving a couple thousand miles, I have very conservative range expectations and guidance. Your daily and annual miles seem just about perfect for maximizing the Model S ownership experience and receiving the greatest cost savings from driving an EV. The 85 is purpose-built for your wife's commute. My drive to the city, at 193 miles, turns out to be beyond reasonable trip planing range for my 85 kw S, so you are right to ask the question. I also asked, but was misled by the marketing hype. TM has since dialed down the online range calculator, but the car still provides misleading range guidance every time I drive it. Notwithstanding my disappointment with range, you are in the sweet spot and will love he car.
I have mine being built, so have committed to it.
I have a 72 miles one way, 144 (with lunch run 150 mile) daily commute. Currently drive a Prius, and it makes financial sense. Recharge with HPWC is 2.5 hours, with NEMA 6-50/14-50 it is under 5 hours. With the 85 kWh pack, even if charged to 80% routine charging (not range) and considering an annual 3% decline in battery capacity, it will still be enough for the commute over 10-12 years. So it makes perfect sense to drive the MS on longer commutes. In 10-12 years, battery technology will be better (e.g., my prius uses NiMH, the MS uses Li tech), so the range will even be better then.
Just a ... 'heads-up' on the optimism about battery technology being better in 10-12 years, which is likely true, AND being useful to you, which is possibly not true.
I noticed that Tesla said there isn't, or won't be, an option for 40kwh battery owners to upgrade to the larger 60 and 85kwh batteries in the future. I was kind of surprised. Yet, I've been working with a Honda hybrid for a while, studying it, researching the technology (mostly the battery and electric motor system), and it's pretty clear that the size and type of battery a car uses is very integrated into the whole car. Before I got the hybrid I assumed it'd be easy to 'upgrade' the battery, as it was 10 year-old technology and surely there's better batteries out there now. But it's not so easy. I suspect the same is, or will be true, for the Tesla Model S.
Put it this way: If you can't even upgrade from the 40kwh pack to the 60 or 85, how likely will it be that you'll be able to upgrade to an entirely new battery chemistry or what not - whatever the new, better technology is in the future? Maybe you could do it, but it most likely won't be cheap or easy... The software and some of the hardware are designed specifically for the size and type of battery; it's not like you'll ever be able to 'simply' drop in a new, improved, future-technology pack...
So anyway, don't pin any hopes on better packs for your car in the future...
If there are enough Teslas on the road then, a specific aftermarket solution or solutions may exist, different from the OEM options.
Hi Xavier,
a compatriot here, in more or less the same situation.
I drive 50.000 km a year, some 180km daily.
I will not hesitate.
Worst case, in wintertime (like today) in sure I will be able to charge at my client's premises.
Tot ziens !
Xavier, my 60 is good for 188 miles on standard charge. You will be fine. I dont know what electricity costs there, but you will save a lot of money on petrol with your commute.
Given gas prices in the EU, and the excessive amount you are driving (within very feasible 85kwh range), I'd say you are a pretty solid target market for Tesla.
Brian H. wrote: "eq1; If there are enough Teslas on the road then, a specific aftermarket solution or solutions may exist, different from the OEM options."
Brian, I would hope that'd be the case - that the aftermarket will take care of upgrading to new, better battery packs in the future. But I fear it will be very difficult, if not impossible, as Tesla holds the intellectual property rights to the software, as well as patents for some hardware, that deal with battery management, the interface between battery and rest of car, etc. If Tesla doesn't make all of this available, doesn't open the 'black box' of battery management and such, developers will be very hard-pressed to make anything happen... Or, if Tesla does make stuff available, there will be a cost, and the cost will likely be high... Basically, any upgrades are not likely to be simple, inexpensive, etc., not like 'just' dropping in a new pack for say $10,000...
A test of Elon's commitment to promoting EVs in general? Licensing, at reasonable cost, could solve it. A patent, after all, is actually a way to open "black boxes" (with a suitable delay on replication to protect inventor profit/benefit).
34000 miles at c. 330 Wh/mile = 11220 KWh or 11.22MWh, +/- 10%
So ... Your SunTracker will almost be enough ... Of course, if you get some use of Superchargers, that's even free-er power. Not usable by i3s.
You have 26 panels. I have 84 panels and produce 'only' 27kw, so doubt you will get 10kw...
The driver that drives the most daily miles without unexpected detours, and within the safe range margin of the care is the BEST target market. You will substitute solar power for more petrol than other Tesla owners. You will reduce carbon the most, and save thousands of Euros -- that's a lot of waffles and Stella Artois, my friend.
I am jealous. I'm buying the S just because it's a great car. My average daily drive is quite low in California. I won't really save that much in petrol. Well, perhaps not so jealous - I don't have to spend my day on the autoroute with nothing to console me except a fine car and my old Jaques Brel MP3s.
Tot ziens.
Latitude matters, too. That's pretty good for 50°N! How many months do you get usable sun, though?

Even as the publishing industry converges in Frankfurt, Germany, for the world's largest annual book fair, the news keeps breaking elsewhere. This week, in Stockholm, the Nobel committee awarded the Prize in Literature to Mo Yan of China. And in a New York courtroom, the Authors Guild heard the bare facts on fair use from Judge Harold Baer.
"Federal judge Harold Baer tossed the Authors Guild copyright infringement case against the HathiTrust," Andrew Albanese, Publishers Weekly features editor, tells CCC's Chris Kenneally. "In granting the HathiTrust's motion for summary judgment, Baer ruled that the scan program was a clear fair use and dealt a potentially fatal blow to the Authors Guild's other long-running lawsuit filed against Google over its book scanning program."
Among the week's review of reviews, Samuel Slaton, PW reviews editor, finds Iowa Writers Workshop student Ayana Mathis's remarkable debut novel, The Twelve Tribes of Hattie. The novelist "traces the life of Hattie Shepherd through the eyes of her offspring, and also traces much of the 20th century, especially as it relates to the struggles of an African-American family," Slaton notes. "As Hattie's children age, they come to terms with their intense need for and resentment of the mother who kept them alive but starved their hearts. Mathis weaves this story with confidence and grace."

Guerra to play for Venezuela in Classic
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Deolis Guerra was a late addition to Team Venezuela and will participate in the World Baseball Classic.
Guerra was informed by Venezuela manager Luis Sojo, who was also his manager in the Venezuelan winter league. Guerra pitched well for Navegantes del Magallanes, posting a 3.81 ERA with 31 strikeouts and five walks in 26 innings to help lead the club to the title.
"I'm pretty excited," Guerra said. "It'll be the first time I'll be representing my country in a tournament like that. So I'm happy about it."
Guerra, acquired by the Twins in 2008 in the trade that sent Johan Santana to the Mets, has reinvented himself as a reliever after beginning his career as a starter.
He had a 4.11 ERA with 71 strikeouts in 70 innings split between Double-A New Britain and Triple-A Rochester last season. He's not on the 40-man roster but could make his Major League debut at some point this season if he continues to build on last year.
"It's been pretty good," Guerra said of making the switch to the bullpen in '11. "It's been a little different. But the thing that is helping me out is that I have to be ready every day and focused on the game. I think that's getting me more into the game, which is helping me a lot."
Guerra is scheduled to leave camp on March 3, as Venezuela is scheduled to play an exhibition game on March 4 in Jupiter, Fla.
Guerra is one of 13 Twins players who will be away from camp to participate in the Classic. Joe Mauer and Glen Perkins (USA), Justin Morneau (Canada) and Drew Butera (Italy) are the only four on the 40-man roster.
Other Twins players scheduled to play in the Classic are James Beresford (Australia), Andrew Albers (Canada), Samuel Deduno (Dominican Republic), Chris Colabello (Italy), Shairon Martis and Tom Stuifbergen (Netherlands), and Jose Berrios and Eddie Rosario (Puerto Rico).
Hendriks excited about Sunday start vs. Rays
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Liam Hendriks, who is battling for a spot in the rotation, is excited about the opportunity to start the Hammond Stadium opener on Sunday, against the Rays.
Hendriks had a bone chip removed from his elbow in November but said that he's fully healthy and looking forward to progressing to pitching in games after throwing batting practice this week.
"It's pretty cool," Hendriks said. "When I was here last year, I relieved, like, the first three or four outings, so it's cool to get that start and get into my routine. It's going to be fun."
Hendriks fared well in Spring Training last year, posting a 2.84 ERA in eight games, including four starts. He made the rotation out of camp but missed his first start due to a bout with food poisoning.
He ended up struggling, though, with a 5.59 ERA in 16 starts despite success at Triple-A Rochester, where he recorded a 2.20 ERA in 16 outings. He's ready to move on and wants to see if his improved mechanics will translate in his first start.
"It feels good to actually get in there and throw against guys I haven't seen in a while," he said. "It's kind of a different feeling than live BP. It's game situations, so it'll be good. I'm excited for it and ready to see how everything is going."
After Hendriks, other pitchers scheduled to throw are closer Glen Perkins, Jared Burton, Brian Duensing, Kyle Gibson, Bryan Augenstein, Luis Perdomo, Anthony Slama and Deolis Guerra. Augenstein, Perdomo and Slama are also making the trip to Sarasota to play the Orioles on Saturday, so if they pitch in the Grapefruit League opener, they won't pitch on Sunday.
Slama making his pitch for the big league roster
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- At some point it's going to be tough for the Twins to keep right-handed reliever Anthony Slama in the Minor Leagues.
After all, Slama has a career 1.99 ERA with 12.4 strikeouts per nine innings in the Minors, including a 1.24 ERA with 56 strikeouts in 36 1/3 innings with Triple-A Rochester last season.
He would have been a candidate to be called up last season but suffered a broken fibula on a comebacker in early June and missed eight weeks before returning to Rochester late in the season.
It was an unfortunate setback, but he's back in big league camp this spring after being in Minor League camp last year. And so now he is out to prove that his Minor League numbers are no fluke.
"Whenever they throw me out there, I'm just going to pitch my game," said Slama, who posted a 3.68 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 22 innings in the Mexican winter league this offseason. "You can't think about who is pitching ahead of you or behind you or who you're in competition with. You just have to throw your game and not worry about that stuff."
Slama is on the list of those traveling to Sarasota for the Grapefruit League opener against the Orioles on Saturday, but he could also pitch on Sunday against the Rays at Hammond Stadium if he doesn't get a chance to pitch in the first game.
Slama is competing for a spot in the bullpen but isn't on the 40-man roster. It could come down to a numbers game in the bullpen, especially considering that three relievers fighting for spots -- Anthony Swarzak, Tim Wood and Josh Roenicke -- are out of Minor League options.

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
For the second straight year the
Northern Trust Open came down to a playoff.
On Sunday, John Merrick parred the second extra hole to dispatch Charlie
Beljan after the pair overtook defending champion and overnight leader Bill
Haas during the final round.
Last year, Haas needed a pair of extra holes to beat Phil Mickelson and Keegan
Bradley with a lengthy birdie putt. He appeared poised for a repeat before
carding a final-round 73, which allowed Merrick (69) and Beljan (67) to leap
to the top.
Beljan has publicly struggled with anxiety issues, but he calmly drained a
tricky birdie putt on No. 18 at Riviera Country Club to get into the playoff.
He sunk another tough putt on the first extra hole, as both players parred,
but he couldn't duplicate the feat on the par-4 10th.
Merrick tapped in for par on the 10th and when Beljan's par effort from around
10 feet narrowly missed, the nearby Long Beach, California, product had his
first PGA Tour victory in his own backyard.
More to follow.

i have 2 questions about TransmitFile:
1) when i write 1 for the nNumberOfBytesPerSend argument, it should send the file byte by byte right? so why it doesn't send him this way? it sends the first 2 bytes in the first transmit, and all the rest in the second one.
2) i want to send some data before and after the file, so i'm using the lpTransmitBuffers parameter:
but it only sends the Head buffer and stops, it doesn't even send the file itself.Code:char buff[] = "start"; char buffb[] = "end"; TRANSMIT_FILE_BUFFERS tfb; tfb.Head = buff; tfb.HeadLength = sizeof(buff); tfb.Tail = buffb; tfb.TailLength = sizeof(buffb);

Well, no matter, how Prop 8 turns out, at least her mayoral tenure will be over. Let's hope our next mayor is smarter than this moron.

Tiredofher, funny, I'm tired of your "type" of person who would castigate someone for standing up for what she believes, especially on an issue like traditional marriage which is widely supported in California for obvious reasons and will hopefully win tomorrow. If not, it will be very close.
Thus, at worst, Mayor Andersen's position represents around half of the community and probably more. It's just that the vocal loons on this issue are largely the No camp. Don't assume that just because all those you hear screaming are on your side that everyone feels the same way. In fact, many are just sick of hearing the screaming, but their vote counts just as much as yours.
I reject the idea that when someone seeks elective office that means they can't continue to express their opinion about issues. If she had been on the NO side, I seriously doubt you would be complaining.
The only real issue is that you disagree with her on 8 and you are welcome to do that. But don't try to make something more out of it and don't denigrate someone who has spent hundreds of hours working for our community on many, many positive issues.
I'm voting for Candace!!! And I'm voting YES on 8.

Damn, if this guy had lived in my town, he could have gotten a digital camera for his trouble, not a jail term...
I'm a resident of Halifax (the one in Canada, mind you). When I first heard about this program, I figured it would be for the legal guns only...nope, as the article says, they'd even take the illegal ones.
Found another article showing that not all the guns they got from the program are being destroyed. Pretty interesting read:
One of my uncles fought in the Battle of Dieppe, where one of the revolvers turned in for the "Pixels for Pistols" program was first obtained.
I still say it adds up to a raw deal for the fella in Surrey.

First, the judge in the case has used some sort of discretion I don't believe a U.S. judge would have to give Clarke less than the "minimum" five year sentence--he actually got one year of suspended sentence, so he's not going to jail.
Second, lots of weird details in this case. Some of Cassingham's readers (at the link above) pointed out that Clarke was arrested and charged with beating up a tax inspector last year, but he beat that charge. There was speculation that this latest charge was at least partially motivated by police anger over that charge and the outcome.
There's also Clarke's weird explanation of why he waited four days to turn the gun in . . . he says he wanted to turn it over only to the Superintendent, who wasn't available for four days. He didn't want to turn it over to detectives because, he says, he's in a sexual relationship with a female detective on the force and one of the male detectives is jealous and looking for an excuse to get him. Why he couldn't call the detective he's screwing and ask her what to do, he doesn't say.
He also says he didn't call the emergency number because he didn't want "trigger happy cops on his doorstep." Clearly there's some tension between him and his local police force no matter the reason, but I actually agree with that one. Why call the equivalent of 911 if there's not an emergency? No good comes of that. Doesn't explain why you wouldn't call the cops directly and let someone other than the Superintendent come.
If you were really worried about it, you could call the local TV fluffs and tell them you're calling the police to report that you just found a gun in your garden. In the U.S., they'd come running to be there before the cops.
Personally, I couldn't help but notice that the guy who turned in a pistol he found in a gutter not far from the Prime Minister's home apparently was not arrested and prosecuted in the hopes that he would be given a 5-year sentence.

Ready to Put an End to These Ridiculous Gas Prices Once and For All?
Simple: Convert Your Car to Electric!
Dear Friends,
Do I have a story to tell you! 18 years ago, my wife Jane and I bought some land and built our own house on it. We then set out to power our new home with alternative energy. First, we figured out how to build solar panels and then we moved on to wind generators. We needed lots of batteries, of course, to store all this free energy we were producing, but we couldn't afford brand new ones. So we had to get a little creative.
After some legwork and a lot of trial and error, we stumbled upon an amazing source of cheap batteries that worked great for storing energy and powering our home. But we didn't stop there. As you will soon learn, using alternative energy becomes addictive and we had the bug pretty bad! So we next set eyes on our gas-guzzling car and truck...
Could we actually convert these vehicles to run off batteries instead of gasoline? Without knowing what we were doing, we decided to find out. After several months of experimenting and a lot of long days, we got everything to work. Then we started making a series of design improvements to increase the speed and cruising range.
Once we began driving our electric vehicles around town, our neighbors started showing up asking questions. They wanted us to teach them how to convert their own cars to electric.
So we sat down and wrote up all the things we had learned, creating a step-by-step set of plans that we could give out.
Within months, we started getting requests from people we didn't even know. That's what led us to create this website, so we could offer our knowledge to anyone interested in converting their own car to electric.
You see, we're really no different than you. We're just regular people who wanted to reduce our expenses and live a more sustainable life. Now we'd like to share with you the secrets we learned and how we managed to complete the conversions on a tight budget.
Are you picturing a glorified golf cart in your mind right now?
You could not be further from the truth! These are regular production vehicles from Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, etc., that travel at least 55 MPH and still have all the creature comforts you would expect.
In fact, except for being a lot quieter – and the lack of an exhaust pipe - most people won't even know that you're driving an electric vehicle.
Worried that you'll have to stop constantly to
recharge it?
Don't be. With a typical conversion, you will enjoy up to a 100-mile cruising range from a single electric charge. We have found this to be more than sufficient for nearly all of our daily needs, even taking trips to the next town over.
Think you have to be an auto mechanic to do this?
Let me confess something to you: I've never been mechanically inclined. Heck, I nearly flunked out of auto mechanics class in high school. But for some reason, electricity is much easier for me to understand and we've heard from many readers who feel the same way.
When we started the quest to convert our first vehicle, we did not have any type of manual or book to assist us. We just plowed ahead and experimented until we found things that worked. In fact, during our first couple of conversions, we made a ton of mistakes that required starting over.
That's why we want to pass on our knowledge to you – so you don't have to make the same mistakes we did.
Join the thousands who have already done this.
Hard to believe that in 1996 there were just 3,280 electric vehicles in the USA. By 2007, that number had surged to over 55,000. President Obama has set a national goal for there to be one million all-electric vehicles on U.S. roads by the end of 2016. That's great news for the environment, so let's all help make it a reality.
Electric cars are booming!
Ready to join us? Just listen to a few of the letters we received from users of our conversion guide:
Dear Les,
My wife now has a great vehicle for going to work and doing the shopping around town. Perfect...
Just finished our project car. The Toyota you suggested worked great. It feels so good to drive by those gas stations. We are already working on our second conversion!

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to let you know that I bought this book as a gift for a friend. I took a peek at it myself and all I can say is wow! Your passion for electric vehicles really jumps to life on the pages. Now you have me planning my own conversion this summer!

Les and Jane,
Your guide is awesome! It has so much information. I have always wanted to live off the grid!

Famous Actor Endorses Electric Cars
Want to ride along in an electric car? Let's watch actor Tom Hanks – one of the most famous proponents of electric vehicles – driving his own converted electric car:
Sure, it's fun to drive an electric car and you'll enjoy a lot of attention and curiosity from friends, family members, neighbors, and even total strangers. But let's forget all that and remember this:
The most important reason to convert a car to electric is to save money.
Here in 2016, we've had a brief reprieve. But how long before gas prices head right back up, on their way to $5.00 per gallon?! At those prices, it's downright maddening to fill the tank and watch the total roll to $60.00, then $70.00, and even more. That's money that goes to gas companies and foreign countries, and we will never get it back.
Now multiply that by the dozens of times you fill up each year and we're talking about some serious money.
Convert your vehicle to electric and you'll save more than the cost of this guide in your very first month.
What would you do if gas prices doubled next year?
Would you be able to just shrug it off? Or would you have to start cutting back on your driving and lifestyle? Wouldn't it be nice to be free from that worry altogether?
Now imagine life as an electric car owner:
- Drive right past gas stations
- No more gasoline smell on your hands or clothing
- Extra spending money each month
- Being the coolest and "greenest" household in your neighborhood
Still not sure? Believe me, I've heard every doubt from people who think they can't convert a car to electric:
"Will I really be able to do this?"
Yes, of course. Thousands of others have successfully completed their own conversions, despite having little or no mechanical background. Our guide walks you through, step by step, each procedure. You'll be surprised how simple it is once it's broken down into individual tasks.
"Is the conversion process expensive?"
In the guide, we show you how to find free or inexpensive components. If you're willing to search for bargains, you can keep the overall project cost very low. Some readers have completed their conversions for as little as $500!
"Will this work where I live?"
We have readers who have completed successful conversions in Canada, The United States, Mexico, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Egypt, Germany, Italy, France, South Africa, and many other countries. The principles of electric cars and finding inexpensive batteries and components are the same wherever you are in the world.
"Don't electric cars accelerate like molasses?"
Are you kidding? Ask any electric car owner and they will tell you that electric vehicles have great acceleration, often shocking first-time passengers.
"What about licensing and insurance?"
The registration and licensing process is generally identical to that of a gas vehicle. If inspections are required in your location, electric vehicles are treated the same as traditional vehicles, with the obvious waiving of any emissions testing. Insurance rates are normally the same as traditional cars.
Everyone has been telling us that the information in our conversion manual is worth $250 or even a lot more. Heck, if it prevents you from making just one of the mistakes we made, it will save you way more than that.
But as I said before, we are just regular folks who know the meaning of a dollar. So we decided to offer the guide for just $49.97 and we're going to give you our four other guides we've written about alternative energy and living green - all for no additional cost.
We know you'll be delighted with this bundle of e-books and we look forward to hearing from you as you begin your journey to a more sustainable and rewarding lifestyle.

Discussion in 'Star Trek - The Original & Animated Series' started by duspock, Jan 13, 2013.
Or its not a big deal and everyone except our regulars and guest-stars are gay.
Too true,.. however, we have all heard the "all life is sacred" speeches prior to this episode; and Spock's descsion and actions were in just as much violation to his rhetoric in past episodes as in this episode,.. the 'Horta' is just the most overt I could think of off the top of me head,
Also, Spock does not adopt this philosophy only for the Horta, and only suddenly after the Mind-Meld,.. it is long established and re-inforced through the series run in defining his characters belief and value system,.. the facts concerning the Horta race mortality only serves to increase the drama of the conflict,.. it does not suddenly define Spock's intrinsic long-held standards, which are (supposedly) applied to all things great and small.
Spock believes that Kirk is about to be killed. Kirk is the one who decides to wait until it attacks. What we really have is the repeated example of how Spock and McCoy offer advice, but Kirk makes the decisions.
Again, very true,.. Spock represents the Logical, McCoy the Emotional, and Kirk the enacting body and final arbitrator of his internal conflicts which are personified externally by the Spock and McCoy characters in conflict.
However, in the Horta case,.. as it relates to Spock violating his Ethical Standards,... Spock cries out for Kirk to 'KILL IT', which as I stated before, violates the whole individual sacrifice for the good of the many, all life scared, Reason over Force, all those moral/ethical themes STAR TREK put forth, but then let have it with full phasers - when it got in the way of FEDERATION BUSINESS, or the STARS BEING HEROES.
Space hippy girl: "C'mon man, I feel you. I know what you want!"
Sulu: (slightly amused) "How do you know what I want?"
Okay, great comment, this is essentially the major flaw with the entire format of the show, as it relates to ethics/morals/and the PD, et al.
Look at what you wrote: "All they know is, it is a dangerous creature",..
and therein lies the rub, as the UFP, KIRK and Company tell us they are explorers, extending the hand of friendship in seeking out new LIFE ( not destroying that which they are threatened by, or do no comprehend), new CIVIL,... you now the speech,.. the point is KIRK and CREW, and the UFP are not in a moral position to judge anything or anyone,..
and that means they cannot MORALLY take ANY action against anything which would have any negative impact on its natural existence or evolution,.. regardless if the "Fangy Beasty" is about to eat your Geologist or not.
And that would make for a pretty depressing show,.. "Men into Space, served as a hot lunch";... this week, so-and-so gets eaten by a whatchamacallit,..
THE UFP and its forces are the INVADERS anywhere they go outside of the realm of the UFP,.. and are in no moral position to judge the slave/gangster/nazi/roman/greek/depression/computer-driven planet as "bad", nor take any action against anything they find 'wanting" or life-threatening to them,.. if they themselves are the invading outsiders,.. AND truly subscribe to all the high-minded ideals contained in their speeches about freedoms, rights, and IDIC, and so forth.
If they did, they couldn't go anywhere without an invitation, and certainly couldn't kill anything,.
,.... or as they did so often,.. disrupt the entire culture of a planet, and replace it with one more suitable to the UFP ideal and agenda,... (We can help you build schools, feed 100 where you could only feed 1, bring you teachers),... ah, indoctrination and absorption offered as "AID"
Basically it is all about PERSPECTIVES,.. Planet of the Apes handled the dilemma of cultural perspectives beautifully,... to Taylor, the Apes had taken over his world and replaced it with their simian culture,.. BUT to the Apes, "The Humans are an Infection!",.. perfect.
Since, the Enterprise's mission is to seek out (invade) areas of space not already part of the UFP corporate portfolio,.. they, regardless of the rhetoric,.. are nothing more than Imperial, Expansionist, Capitalists,... just like the good ol' USA.
and regardless of the beautiful moral/ethic/ and aesthetic values espoused in a characters' speech,.. in the end,.. if it interrupts FED BUSINESS,... WHAMM-OH!!!,.. unless the Organians or Metrons appear to nullify their aggressions while "Boldly going where no HUN has gone before".
So in point-of-fact, if SPOCK really subscribed to all that "respect all life and the rights of everything, free to be you and me speech",.. he would have resigned his post the moment KIRK gave the order to drive the Enterprise around the Fly-paper colored-cube in space.
Actually if you really compare what SPOCK is supposed to believe in, and what the UFP actually does (not what they SAY they stand for), SPOCK would not even have anything to do with the UFP,.. which really is just the I.S.S. Enterprise, with better manners, and a better line of B.S.
So the whole show is one big moral/ethical contradiction, depending on your perspective, and it is worse for SPOCK, more than anyone,.. yet,.. there he is!
Frankly, while I obviously love the show, when it comes to the conflict of what the UFP SAYS it stands for ethically & morally, and what it UFP DOES in fact and deed,.. I second the Organians utter disdain for the Earthemen.
If your going to be a space-pirate, be an HONEST ONE, don't just wear the boots!
I think a lot of the examples cited here are instances of Spock breaking regulations, which is not at all the same thing as acting unethically (except, importantly, to the extent they violate his oath as a Starfleet officer).
The instance that comes immediately to mind is The Enterprise Incident (where he totally seduces the Romulan commander Kirk-style).
Correct, and that scene is also a prime example of gross mischaracterizations which occurred that hurt the integrity of the original character conceptions, broke the established willing-suspension-of-disbelief, and the hurt show itself in the long run.
That's not really a situation of an ethical dilemma for Spock, because Kirk resolved the situation for him. Spock had no legal right to relieve Decker, and he DIDN'T relieve Decker, until Kirk manufactured a quasi-legal imperative for him. When Kirk ordered Spock to relieve Decker, it took Spock off the hook. Kirk assumed the responsibility. You could call that an ethical dilemma for Kirk, but not for Spock. (Of course Kirk didn't perceive it as a dilemma at all; it was instantly clear to him what the right course of action was.)
Spock's ethical dilemma was earlier, as he tried to stay within the letter of regulations while keeping Decker from getting the ship destroyed. Spock handles that with integrity; but it's Kirk who grasps the nettle.
Kirk's order to Spock is a genius moment of writing, I think. It crystallizes a key difference between Kirk and Spock: why Kirk is in command, and Spock is the best first officer in the fleet. Kirk assesses the situation correctly, and fabricates a non-existent prerogative to issue an order so Spock can do what needs to be done.
Well, the show did not have a much longer run after that, so it's hard to see how that act hurt the show. More broadly, I don't see anything in Enterprise Incident that hurt the integrity of the Spock character. What are you referring to?
Neither do I. Spock was under orders to get the damned cloaking device.
We can assume Starfleet might already have tried more secretive espionage ways to get the device and finally came up with this idea. It was a risky move because it could have gone wrong in so many ways. Indeed, the Romulan Commander tossing herself into the transporter beam might well have forestalled the Romulans declaring war. They not only lost a highly valued bit of hardware but also an experienced command officer---doesn't look too good for them particularly if it got out to their Klingon "allies." I could even see Starfleet "letting" it leak to the Klingons just to foster more distrust between the empires.
Completly splitting hairs here but based on my gut feeling after reading "The Caine Mutiny", Spock would not quite be off the hook, especially when Decker said, "IIIII don't recognize your authority to relieve me!"
So in other words, my speculation based off a fictional event as applied to a completly different fictional universe with its own set of rules is that Spock would also stand trial if it ever got that far and Decker wanted to proceed.
Spock even states Decker may file a formal protest assuming they reached a starbase. I think Kirk and Spock were both on tenuous ground in relieving Decker.
Oh I completely agree with you guys, if Decker had made it back to Starbase with the rest of them, Kirk and Spock would have been up on charges. I meant only that after Kirk issued the order, Spock was off the hook for the decision to act. He wasn't off the hook legally; I should have said he was off the horns of the dilemma. Kirk made the decision for him.
One of the most awesome moments in all of TOS.
The Doomsday Machine was an idiotic situation. Decker isn't an Enterprise officer. Spock should have told Decker to bugger off from the start and just had McCoy and security haul him off to sickbay. The Star Fleet order used in that situation was the kind of TV order made to create drama. Star Trek and Hollywood often portray scenes with rank outweighing the chain of command.
Yet another, among many, examples of why military realism/verisimilitude and Star Trek should not be conflated, in any iteration of the franchise (still makes for a great scene, though).
His seduction of the Romulan commander as a military strategem was hardly honorable.
And upon 1000's of repeat viewings, ultimately hurts the integrity and credibility of the the established character over time.
Of course, she was just an easily led woman, what else could you expect?
Separate names with a comma.

PALATKA, Fla. - A 24-year-old man was indicted Monday in the killing of another man in July 2007.
Daniel Wilkinson is charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Stephen Richardson.
Richardson's body was found July 6, 2007, in his apartment at Barrington Apartments in the 600 block of South Moody Road in Palatka.
His body was found after his mother contacted the Palatka Police Department to do a welfare check because
she had not heard from him since the previous day.
Police said their investigation revealed that Richardson had been stabbed multiple times. They said although Wilkinson has been a person of interest from the beginning, the investigation into the homicide has continued for the last five and a half years with detectives constantly searching for new evidence.
Extensive interviews of known acquaintances, neighbors and co-workers of both men have taken place over that time, police said. They said that eventually evidence was found indicating that an altercation had taken place between Wilkinson and Richardson that resulted in Richardson's death.
Detectives traveled to Suwanee Correctional Institute in Live Oak on Tuesday to make contact with Wilkinson, notifying him of the indictment and murder warrant against him.
"I am very pleased with the work of our staff and the assistance provided by the state attorney's office," said Police Chief Gary Getchell. "Our detectives have worked tirelessly on this case since the beginning. The closing of this event will hopefully provide closure for the family of Mr. Richardson."
