- "Harren the Black thought this castle would be his legacy. The greatest fortress ever built: the tallest towers, the strongest walls. The Great Hall had thirty-five hearths. Thirty-five, can you imagine? Look at it now...a blasted ruin."
- ―Tywin Lannister to Arya Stark
Harrenhal is a huge castle, the largest one in all of Westeros, though it is also the most ill-omened. It is located on the northern shore of the Gods Eye lake at the heart of the Riverlands, south of the River Trident and northwest of King's Landing.
It was built centuries earlier by King Harren the Black. He was betrayed by his bannermen during the War of Conquest and the castle was largely melted by dragonfire: while Harren had thought the castle's walls were tall enough to withstand any assault, he neglected to consider that the Targaryens' dragons could fly right over them. As a result Harrenhal is half-ruined, with stone towers melted and twisted by the flames of the dragons, giving it an ominous and nightmarish appearance. No lord has held the castle for long since Harren's death.
Aegon the Conqueror granted Harrenhal to his bannermen of House Qoherys, which eventually became extinct. They were followed by Houses Towers, Harroway, Strong, and Lothston. All of them, like the Hoares and Qoherys before them, died out, leading to the castle of be considered a cursed place. Several tales are told of Harrenhal, including the tale of Mad Lady Lothston, the flaming ghosts of Harren and his sons, and of servants who go to sleep and are found turned to ashes the following day.[1]
Harrenhal is seen as something of a white elephant: while it is technically the biggest castle in Westeros, it is so ridiculously large that the surrounding area cannot possibly produce the necessary food to support the massive army needed to fully man it. Rulers of Harrenhal usually lose money and resources simply by possessing it. As a result, Harrenhal is rarely if ever fully manned. Moreover, it was never fully repaired after being blasted with dragonfire by the Targaryens three hundred years ago, which combined with the fact that the garrison is never as large as the fortifications require, means that Harrenhal really isn't one of the most defensibly formidable castles in Westeros.[2]
The surrounding lands subject to Harrenhal are actually some of the richest and most fertile in all of Westeros, being located in the watersheds of both the Trident River and Gods Eye lake. In peacetime, a noble House can actually become quite wealthy from holding Harrenhal - provided that they hire only a skeleton force to defend it instead of a full garrison. It is a testament to the sheer size of the castle that even the most productive farmlands in Westeros cannot support enough troops to fully garrison it. Nonetheless, the unwary often see Harrenhal as a great reward or prize in war, without pausing to consider that there is actually little net profit in holding it.[3]
By the time of the War of the Five Kings, Harrenhal was held by House Whent, until they were stripped of it and the castle was given to House Slynt as a reward for Janos Slynt's betrayal of Eddard Stark.[4] However, due to the area being a warzone, Slynt never actually occupied the castle and was stripped of it when Janos Slynt was sent to the Wall . In Season 2, it is used as the main forward base for Tywin Lannister's army in the Riverlands during his campaign against Robb Stark. However, the Lannisters later withdraw their forces to defend King's Landing in the decisive Battle of the Blackwater. At the beginning of Season 3 the abandoned castle is re-captured by the Northern army (Robb Stark's maternal grandmother was a Whent, so he has some direct claim to the castle), and Robb left a detachment of the Northern army under Roose Bolton to hold the castle.
Season 1
Catelyn Stark recognises a knight of Harrenhal at the Crossroads Inn and asks him if he is loyal to Lady Whent and Catelyn's father, Whent's liege lord. When he replies this is the case, she asks his aid in restraining Tyrion Lannister and receives it.[5]
King Joffrey Baratheon gives the castle of Harrenhal to Janos Slynt, commander of the City Watch, for his part in betraying Eddard Stark.[6]
Following the Lannister defeat at the Battle of the Whispering Wood, Lord Tywin Lannister announces that he will take his army of 30,000 men, capture Harrenhal and use it as the forward base for his army in the Riverlands while Robb Stark's numerically superior forces consolidate near Riverrun.[7]
Season 2
Arya Stark, Gendry, and Hot Pie are taken prisoner and taken to Harrenhal.[8]
Tyrion Lannister offers Harrenhal to Petyr Baelish along with lordship over all of the Riverlands in exchange for his aid in the release of Jaime Lannister.[9]
After the Battle of the Blackwater, King Joffrey grants Harrenhal to Lord Baelish for his aid in arranging the Lannister-Tyrell alliance.[10]
Season 3
The Northern army prepares to seize Harrenhal, only to find that Ser Gregor Clegane has already abandoned the castle and put all the Northern and Riverlands prisoners to the sword.[11]
After receiving news of the death of Lord Hoster Tully, Robb Stark departs from Harrenhal.[12] Lord Roose Bolton remains in command of the ruined castle, along with a portion of the northern army.[13]

Behind the scenes
Concept artist Kimberley Pope explained the elements she came up with for Harrenhal's design: "I added the thorns, dead trees, and suggested it would be nice to have the lake as a sulphuric crater, toxic and dead, still suffering from the devastation brought about by the burning of Harrenhal." The walls of Harrenhal's major towers are also supposed to appear so large that to characters inside the complex they seem like mountains in the background.[14]
Production Designer Gemma Jackson said that in order to develop the look of Harrenhal, she visited Cambodia and the ruins of Angkor Wat to get a feel for how a vast but crumbling castle complex should appear, with many broken walls overgrown with vines and creepers. Many of the walls were broken when it was burned with dragonfire, and more have since fallen into ruin but not been repaired, because the entire castle is too big to adequately maintain). To emphasize this, the paths through the Harrenhal set were designed to be deliberately confusing, so the camera is never quite sure what is right around the next bend: informal "entrances" to different sections of the castle will suddenly appear as characters pass through large broken gaps in old walls. The Lannister troops have also haphazardly assembled some wooden constructions in their makeshift camp within the older stone walls - and because all of the trees were burned away long ago, they mostly just broke up whatever old rotting furniture or half-burned support beams they could find within the castle itself and hastily hammered them together into new forms. The combined effect gives Harrenhal a confusing, maze-like quality. Jackson also added large broken stones around the bases of many of the walls, to emphasize that they are crumbling into ruin, and their upkeep is so neglected that no one even expends the effort to clear the fallen stones away. [15]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Harrenhal is a colossal castle consisting of five massive towers (the Tower of Dread, the Widow's Tower, the Wailing Tower, the Tower of Ghosts, and the Kingspyre) and immense walls.
The castle was built over 300 years ago by House Hoare, the ruling house of the Iron Islands which had overrun and conquered the Riverlands. It took three generations to construct. King Harren the Black completed the castle, boasting that it was impregnable. Unfortunately, the day he completed the castle was the same day that Aegon the Conqueror invaded Westeros. His dragons were not obstructed by the towering walls and roasted Harren and all his heirs alive in the tallest tower of the castle, now known as the Kingspyre.
Since Harren's death the castle has passed through a number of other noble houses (Qoherys, Towers, Harroway, Strong, and Lothston), each of which has come to ruin for one reason or another. Also, every castellan to command the castle's garrison has come to a horrific end. This has led to the common superstition in Westeros that Harrenhal is cursed. Prior to the War of the Five Kings House Whent, loyal vassals to Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun, held the lordship of Harrenhal.
Harrenhal is considered extremely ill-reputed place not only due to the alleged curse: according to Jaime Lannister, Harrenhal has seen more horror in its three hundred years than Casterly Rock had witnessed in three thousand.
Due to its central location in contested borderlands, since its construction Harrenhal has fallen to hostile siege more times than any other major castle in Westeros (within the same three hundred year time period). Aegon the Conqueror infamously burned and half-ruined the castle not long after it was finished using his dragon Balerion. It was also attacked during the Faith Militant uprisings - or rather, the early localized rebellions against Aegon I's sons which later coalesced into a wide-scale conflict. A rebel leader styling himself Harren the Red, claiming to be Harren the Black's bastard, established himself at Harrenhal but was crushed. Harrenhal was one of the focal points of the major campaigns during the Dance of the Dragons and changed hands multiple times. It was probably attacked during the First Blackfyre Rebellion. Ironically, the one major continent-wide war which Harrenhal was not directly besieged in was Robert's Rebellion - yet in many ways, the spark of the rebellion began at Harrenhal. It was during a great tournament at Harrenhal that Rhaegar Targaryen controversially crowned Lyanna Stark as the Queen of Love and Beauty - and his later abduction of Lyanna set the entire war in motion.
During the Dance of the Dragons, Harrenhal gained the dubious distinction of being one of the few castles to have been burned out twice with dragonfire. While it is loosely said that it fell to "dragons" during the War of Conquest, only one dragon was actually present - though Aegon I's mount Balerion the Black Dread, the largest Targaryen dragon, was more than sufficient to bring it to ruin. During the Dance, however, which occurred 130 years later, the faction loyal to Aegon II captured Harrenhal, aided by his younger brother Aemond One-Eye riding the dragon Vhagar. Later the strategic situation changed and the army had to withdraw, but to deny use of the castle to their enemies, Aemond used Vhagar to burn out every wooden structure in the entire complex. So ultimately multiple "dragons" did burn Harrenhal - just not at the same time.
By the War of the Five Kings, Harrenhal had fallen into such disrepair that Shella Whent's household had completely abandoned three of the five great towers of the castle, letting them fall into ruin. Even in the two remaining towers, they only occupied and continued to service the bottom fifth of each tower - put another way, only about two fifteenths of the castle's potential living space was actually being used and maintained.
After House Lannister takes Harrenhal, most of its household keep on serving the occupiers. However, Arya Stark, Jaqen H'ghar, Rorge and Biter free the Northern prisoners after Lord Tywin and the Mountain leave the castle under the command of Amory Lorch. The Brave Companions seize the chance to turn on Lorch and deliver the castle to Roose Bolton, who was commanding the Northern forces east of the Trident, with whom they had previously made a deal. Later Roose leaves Harrenhal to attend Edmure Tully's wedding, granting the command of the castle to Vargo Hoat.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Harrenhal" is pronounced "HAIR-in-hall".

Afghanistan photos part of Charleston ArtWalk
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As part of the West Virginia Air National Guard's Special Operations Detachment, Todd Harrell has been deployed three times to Afghanistan and once to Iraq during the past 10 years.
While on the ground in Afghanistan's towns, Harrell took thousands of engaging photographs of men and women walking around their often-remote and isolated towns, as well as children playing.
Thirty-five of his photographs, and a slide show, will be part of the monthly downtown Charleston ArtWalk, sponsored by the Charleston Area Alliance. ArtWalk, which typically includes exhibits in up to 15 different locations, takes place between 5 and 8 p.m.
"In 2002, I had spent close to 20 years with the West Virginia National Guard when I had the opportunity to deploy and work with special operations in Afghanistan," Harrell said.
"We were training a multi-ethnic, all volunteer army in Afghanistan. People there have strong family, tribal, regional and ethnic ties," Harrell said during an interview Wednesday.
"I have met with people from President [Hamid] Karzai to residents of remote villages, 100 miles from any electricity.
"You meet kids, 4 to 5 years old, who are as playful as kids here in the United States. But you wonder what their futures will be.
"At my exhibit, you will see a story that I was fortunate enough to see," Harrell said. "In my show, there is only one photo of a soldier, an Afghan soldier. I am not trying to make any political statement, just show some of the people we are helping over there."
Harrell said adults and children have always been very friendly during his visits to Afghanistan.
"In three trips over 10 years, I have never seen a kid run away from me. In general, people have been very accepting of our presence."
His photographs, Harrell believes, "show the resilience of people there. They are very photogenic -- from little girls, who are happy and colorful, to older men, whose faces speak volumes.
"They have a strength, a courage and a generosity that Americans can learn from."
Harrell's photographs were taken in towns like Pol-E-Charki, right outside Kabul (Afghanistan's capital city), to villages like Narang in eastern Afghanistan near its border with Pakistan.
Naomi Bays, curator of Harrell's photographic exhibit, said, "Afghanistan is in such a state of juxtaposition -- from the beauty of the landscape to the destruction and constant conflict, the fear and hope held within an expression of a child.
"A narrative of his journey was immediately apparent on first glance of the images," Bays said.
"You almost feel guilty leaving Afghanistan," Harrell said. "You realize there is so much more that needs to be done. You feel like you are abandoning them."
He doesn't want the people of Afghanistan to be forgotten. "I am doing my little part to bring their stories back to America."
Harrell also said, "I don't wish to make political statements or cultural judgments but rather share the faces of a nation that has known little but war and oppression for generations. I feel my images capture a sense of hope or perhaps just resolve."
A large portion of any sales of Harrell's work will go to the Afghanistan Relief Organization -- a nonpolitical, secular, nonprofit humanitarian organization that focuses on delivering relief aid to needy people throughout Afghanistan.
ArtWalk's website includes a map of downtown Charleston that identifies the offices and businesses that display monthly exhibits. Harrell's photographs will be on display at the Romano and Associates law offices, located at 230 Capitol St., Suite 200.

Deep Space 9, originally known as Terok Nor, is an orbital space station constructed by the Cardassian Union in orbit of Bajor. Under Federation administration following the Cardassian withdrawal, DS9 transformed into a vital commercial port and defense outpost because of its strategic location near the mouth of the Bajoran wormhole. It also became a key tactical location in the Dominion War.
Command Crew
(Until 2375)
- Captain Benjamin Sisko - Commanding Officer (CO)
- Colonel Kira Nerys - First Officer and liaison-officer
- Lieutenant Commander Worf - Strategic Operations Officer
- Constable Odo - Chief of Security
- Chief Miles O'Brien - Chief of Operations
- Lieutenant Julian Bashir - Chief Medical Officer (CMO)
- Lieutenant Junior Grade Ezri Dax - Counselor
- Lieutenant Junior Grade Nog - Station maintenance
- Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax - Science Officer (KIA 2374)
Noted Residents

- Rom
- Leeta
- Jake Sisko
- Kasidy Yates (later Sisko)
Deep Space Nine was built between 2346 and 2351. (DS9: "Babel", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") Its original purpose was to serve as a refinery for uridium ore that was mined from Bajor's surface. Therefore, DS9 has extensive ore refining and transport facilities that occupy the large docking pylon structures. The station also served as a command post from which the Cardassian Prefect of Bajor, Gul Dukat, would oversee the military aspects of the Occupation.
In 2362, Gul Dukat took the unusual step of appointing a non-Cardassian as the chief of security aboard Terok Nor. Odo, a shapeshifter discovered on a derelict ship near Bajor some years before, had ties to both the Cardassians and the Bajorans on the station. (DS9: "Necessary Evil")
In 2369, the Cardassians decided to withdraw from Bajor after sixty years of occupation. Unable to move the station across interstellar distances, they were forced to leave the outpost in its high orbit. Before departing, however, Cardassian soldiers rampaged across the station, removing or destroying a large portion of the station's equipment. (DS9: "Emissary")
(It is not known for certain why the Cardassians chose to abandon the station rather than destroy it to prevent its use by the Bajorans. The Cardassians may have planned to reoccupy Bajor at some point in the future; however, no evidence of such plans has been found.)
Following the Cardassian retreat, the Bajoran Provisional Government petitioned for Federation membership, and also for Starfleet assistance in repairing and maintaining Terok Nor. A complex arrangement was established, where a Starfleet commander would have overall authority in running the station, while the station remained sovereign Bajoran territory. A representative of the Bajoran Militia would serve as the station's first officer and as liaison to the Bajoran government. The station was renamed "Deep Space 9," and Benjamin Sisko was appointed as commander.
As station commander, one of the most important facets of the station Sisko sought to develop was commerce. The Cardassians had allowed a small series of businesses and entertainment facilities to operate in a central, dual-level market area called the Promenade. Because almost all of the shops were owned by non-Bajorans, Sisko hoped to convince many of them to stay to help build a trade network through Bajoran space. In particular, Sisko convinced Quark, owner of Quark's Bar (the largest establishment on the Promenade) to maintain his business on-station as an example for the others.
DS9 and the Wormhole
Only days after the Federation took control of the station, a momentous discovery would change DS9's purpose forever. With encouragement from Kai Opaka, Sisko and his science officer, Lt. Jadzia Dax, searched for the mythical Celestial Temple of the Prophets, hoping to find a cause or idea to help unify the Bajoran people. While aboard the runabout USS Rio Grande, Sisko and Dax found the only known stable wormhole in the galaxy, which crossed over 70,000 light-years from Bajor in the Alpha Quadrant to the Idran System in the Gamma Quadrant.
The presence of a stable wormhole inside the Bajoran star system would have an enormous impact on commerce throughout the region, making the system one of the most important locations in the entire Federation — a fact recognized by the Bajorans, the Federation, and the Cardassians. Major Kira Nerys, DS9's first officer, ordered the station moved to the mouth of the wormhole in order to cement Bajor's claim. Despite the massive forces and pressures involved in moving the station with only six working thrusters, Chief of station operations Miles O'Brien devised a dangerous method by which the deflector shields were altered to lower the station's inertial mass to a level sufficient for movement. The station was positioned close to the mouth of the wormhole, approximately 1,000 kilometers from its event horizon.
However, the Cardassians had not completely abandoned the system, maintaining surveillance of activities in the region; they quickly found out about the wormhole's discovery and attempted to claim the wormhole for themselves. Gul Dukat ordered his warship through the wormhole, and was apparently trapped on the far side when the beings controlling the wormhole collapsed its entrance. A short time later, three additional Galor-class warships, under the command of Gul Jasad of the Seventh Order approached the station. Following a brief armed standoff, the wormhole reappeared, and both the Rio Grande and Dukat's warship returned. With a firm Bajoran/Federation claim established on the wormhole, the Cardassians withdrew. (DS9: "Emissary")
The impact the wormhole had on the station was enormous. Rather than a minor orbital servicing station and transfer point, DS9 had the potential to become one of the top commerce stations in the entire quadrant. Eager to explore the vast new territories of the Gamma Quadrant, dozens of races established trading relations with Bajor and began sending starships through the wormhole. At the same time, DS9 became the first point of contact in the Alpha Quadrant for any native species traveling from the Gamma Quadrant. Within the first two years, ships operating from or passing through DS9 made contact with at least twelve different cultures, including the Dosi, the Karemma, the T'Lani and the Kellerun, the Hunters and the Tosk, the Rakhari, the Wadi, and the Parada.

DS9 and Bajoran Affairs
Deep Space 9 was also a unique place for the constant contact and cooperation between people from Bajor and the Federation, and therefore also became a point of tension at times. In late 2369, DS9 became the center of a controversy between Bajoran religious fundamentalists, instigated by then-Vedek Winn Adami, and pro-Federation factions. The incident brought attention to the fierce contest to elect a new Kai following the disappearance and apparent death of Kai Opaka earlier that year. (DS9: "Battle Lines") Winn protested the ideas taught in DS9's school by volunteer teacher Keiko O'Brien about the wormhole, creating a rift between some conservative Bajorans and the secular Federation representatives. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
In early 2370, an extremist faction known as the Alliance for Global Unity (also called "The Circle") began an uprising against the Bajoran provisional government. During this coup, the station became a target of the insurgents as the Circle attempted to force all non-Bajoran influences to leave. All Federation and civilian personnel were ordered to evacuate the station, but Commander Sisko chose to remain behind with a group of volunteers, hoping to prevent the Circle's takeover. A division of the Bajoran Militia working under the direction of Minister Jaro Essa, the leader of the Circle, boarded the station and assumed control. General Krim and Colonel Day, commanding the force, engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the small Starfleet contingent for two days. When evidence was revealed to the Council of Ministers that the Cardassians were secretly arming the Circle, using the Kressari as intermediaries. With this damning revelation, the Circle's rebellion collapsed, and Krim returned control of the station to Sisko. (DS9: "The Homecoming", "The Circle", "The Siege")
In later years, there were occasional flare-ups where Bajoran and Federation interests clashed, but none were nearly as explosive. Over time, almost all resistance to Federation influence on DS9 and on Bajor disappeared as Starfleet continued to prove its good intentions. In addition, the increasingly prominent role of Sisko as the Emissary helped build acceptance for his position as station commander, as well.
- In an alternate timeline in which Benjamin Sisko was apparently killed in an accident aboard the USS Defiant, DS9 was transferred to Klingon control in 2373. (DS9: "The Visitor")

DS9 and the Maquis
Around Stardate 47800, the Cardassian freighter Bok'Nor inexplicably exploded immediately after undocking from DS9. A previously-unknown group in the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone, calling themselves the Maquis, claimed responsibility. The Maquis were dispossessed Federation citizens resisting the cession of their home colonies to Cardassian control, and were arming themselves with contraband Federation weaponry. A short time later, the Maquis also kidnapped Gul Dukat from the station while aboard for consultations with Commander Sisko regarding the situation in the DMZ. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")
Although DS9 was not located in the DMZ itself, the Bajoran system's proximity to that area made the station a major target for related operations on occasion. Most notably, in 2372 the Maquis hijacked a shipment of twelve Federation industrial replicators which were being sent to Cardassia to provide relief in the wake of the Klingon-Cardassian War. Michael Eddington, the senior Starfleet Security officer aboard DS9, publicly defected to the Maquis in this incident, and later went on to unify the various Maquis cells under his leadership. (DS9: "For the Cause")

DS9 and the Dominion War
Deep Space 9's greatest fame, however, would come in its role in defending the Federation and the Alpha Quadrant from Dominion invasion. Around Stardate 47950, Benjamin Sisko and Quark, while on a camping trip with their children in the Gamma Quadrant, were abducted by the Jem'Hadar, the soldiers of the Dominion. A representative of the Dominion boarded the station and informed the crew that the Dominion would not tolerate "intrusions" on its territory — and intrusions were defined as any vessel that entered the Gamma Quadrant. After the Galaxy-class starship USS Odyssey was destroyed in battle against the Jem'Hadar, DS9 was very suddenly placed on the front line of a new interstellar conflict. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
Weeks later, Starfleet assigned the experimental warship USS Defiant to the station to provide an additional line of defense against the Dominion threat. (DS9: "The Search, Part I") In addition, Commander Sisko launched a crash program to upgrade and expand the station's own tactical systems, adding new, heavier shield generators, more powerful phaser arrays, and a large battery of photon torpedoes. (These upgraded weapons actually saw their first use against Klingon warships in their aborted attack on DS9 in early 2372.) (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
In addition to the threat of invasion by the Jem'Hadar, the Dominion also posed another, more sinister threat — infiltration by Changelings, the Founders of the Dominion. Because these beings could assume any form and avoid detection by almost all normal sensors, the potential damage from espionage and sabotage was enormous. DS9's crew helped pioneer several methods that tried to combat this threat, including phaser sweeps and blood screenings. (DS9: "The Adversary", "Homefront")
When the Dominion finally entered the Alpha Quadrant in 2373, the first battle was, surprisingly, not fought at DS9 as anticipated. A large fleet of more than 50 Jem'Hadar warships bypassed the station and moved instead to annex the Cardassian Empire — at the invitation of Gul Dukat. DS9 became a marshaling point for both Klingon ships (retreating from their Cardassian conquests) and for Starfleet, as well as a squadron of Romulan warbirds that joined the fleet. However, the Dominion chose not to launch an immediate attack on the station, and the fleet dispersed. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
After securing the Cardassian territories, the Dominion began sending weekly supply convoys, including dozens of fresh warships, through the wormhole. Without sufficient forces, station personnel could only watch as more and more troops and warships poured into the Alpha Quadrant. As the Dominion also began securing nonaggression pacts with several regional powers, Captain Sisko, with approval from Starfleet Command, began to blockade the entrance to the wormhole with self-replicating mines. In response, the Dominion launched a massive assault fleet to capture the station and take control of the wormhole.
In the ensuing battle, DS9 accounted for the destruction of over 50 Jem'Hadar and Cardassian ships. Additionally, the USS Defiant was successful in completing the minefield, sealing off the wormhole. However, Dukat committed additional ships to mount another assault, and facing overwhelming numbers, Sisko decided to abandon the station. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
Facing an invasion on several fronts, Starfleet was unable to mount a counteroffensive to retake the station for several months. During this five-month period, the station was personally commanded by Gul Dukat in cooperation with Weyoun, the Vorta supervisor of the Cardassian Union. It was also re-named Terok Nor, its name from the days of the Occupation. Although it was officially still owned by the Bajoran government, for all intents and purposes it was once again a Cardassian station. However, because the minefield operated independently from the station, DS9 played no important role in the Dominion war effort aside from serving as a resupply outpost.
In mid-2374, the allies launched an offensive aimed at recapturing the station and preserving the minefield. Under the command of Captain Sisko, the allies won a major victory at the Battle of Bajor, forcing the Dominion to abandon the station and retreat to Cardassian space. (DS9: "The Sacrifice of Angels")
After the return to Federation control, DS9 became the headquarters of the combined allied Ninth Fleet. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited...")
For the remainder of the war, DS9 functioned as a major repair and resupply depot for Starfleet, Klingon, and later Romulan forces. In addition, the major offenses that culminated in the First Battle of Chin'toka and the Battle of Cardassia were launched from DS9. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", "What You Leave Behind")
Station Layout
Deep Space 9's structure is highly unusual, classified by Starfleet as a "hybrid planar-columnar triradial structure". Its basic form consists of a central core assembly containing most primary systems, a series of two concentric rings for habitat and docking facilities, and a series of three sweeping pylons containing ore-processing and additional docking facilities.
Central Core
The central core is a roughly cylindrical structure consisting of several terraced platforms containing various key facilities. At the extreme ventral end of the core is the Operations center and the subspace communications antennae, as well as the deflector shield generators. Below this assembly is the three-level Promenade, a public area for commercial enterprises and entertainment for station personnel. (See also: Promenade Merchants' Association)
The lower sections of the core contain engineering and support facilities, including at least one large industrial replicator, the computer core, and multiple deuterium fuel tanks. At the extreme dorsal end sit the six fusion reactors.
Habitat Ring
The habitat ring is the inner ring of the station's structure, intended primarily for the housing of most of the station's semi-permanent residents. Spaced along the ring are also six landing pads, used by Starfleet's runabouts and other small craft.
Also mounted along the ring are three large defense sails, upon which a large portion of the station's armaments are mounted.
Docking Ring
The docking ring is the outer ring of the station's structure, and is used primarily for moving and storing goods and for starships' docking facilities. Twelve large docking ports are distributed around the perimeter, and numerous cargo bays are connected to these facilities. In addition, a series of 52 thrusters are mounted on the edge of the ring. These thrusters are intended mainly for holding orbital position.
Three large, sweeping docking pylons emerge from the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the docking ring to give DS9 its characteristic spindly shape. At the extreme end of each pylon is an additional docking port (for a total of six on the pylons), which can accommodate larger starships up to those approximately the size of the Galaxy class. The majority of the pylons' internal structure is used up by ore processing facilities.

Constitutions exist to define and limit the powers of government, not to prescribe people's daily procedures. Neither of these issues comes close to belonging in the state constitution. They are the wishes of a certain group of politicians who know they won't get their way through the regular lawmaking process. If they're allowed to succeed, it will only invite others to do the same with their wishes when the balance of power changes. The constitution and the state will be far worse for it.
The voter ID amendment; while it does not prevent all low-income, minority and senior citizens from voting; is part of a well-funded national effort to reduce the number of low-income, minority and senior voters in future elections. As an average Joe or Jane who simply wants to ensure election integrity, you probably don't want to keep these people from voting.
If you vote for this amendment, however, you are actively assisting those who do, and you have to own that. If you can look in the mirror and say, "I understand this will discourage thousands of law-abiding Minnesotans from voting, but if it keeps some impostor somewhere from casting a ballot, I'm for it," then this amendment is for you.
If your conscience has a hard time with that, vote no.
Government has no business telling people what they can and can't do if what they're doing doesn't harm anyone. People are free to dislike the concept of same-sex marriage, but same-sex marriage doesn't harm anyone and government has no business forbidding it. If we allow government to decide what gender you must marry, how can we forbid government from deciding what race you must marry, what religion you must marry, what height, weight and hair color you must marry?
And for those who care about their place in history, equality for gay people is making rapid progress (given the slow pace at which societal change generally occurs). Those who work to oppose it will have a place in history...right alongside those who actively oppose racial and gender equality. Is that the legacy you want to leave?
A couple whose only "offense" is being the same gender doesn't harm anyone; denying them the legal rights and benefits society offers opposite-sex couples does harm them. You have a clear choice: To harm, or not to harm. Vote no.

Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Decision making · Learning · Judgement · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Reasoning · Thinking - Cognitive processes Cognition - Outline Index
Named in honour of Peter Cathcart Wason, who first described the task,[1][2] the Wason selection task is a logical puzzle which is formally equivalent to the following question:
- You are shown a set of four cards placed on a table each of which has a number on one side and a coloured patch on the other side. The visible faces of the cards show 3, 8, red and brown. Which cards should you turn over in order to test the truth of the proposition that if a card shows an even number, then its opposite face shows a primary colour?
A response which identifies a card which need not be inverted, or a response which fails to identify a card which needs to be inverted are both incorrect.
The correct response is that the cards showing 8 and brown must be inverted, but no other card. Remember how the question was stated: "If the card shows an even number, Then its opposite face shows a primary colour." If we turn over the card labelled "3" and find that it is red, this does not invalidate the rule. Likewise, if we turn over the red card and find that it has the label "3", this also does not make the rule false. On the other hand, if the brown card has the label "4", this invalidates the rule: It has an even number, and does not have a primary colour.
Experiments have shown that, presented with a Wason task as an uncontextualised logic puzzle, people perform very poorly. Furthermore, even of those who respond correctly, some obtain the correct result by conscious application of the contrapositive rule. By contrast, some (though not all) Wason tasks prove much easier when they are presented in a context of social relations.
Adherents of evolutionary psychology have argued that a simple rule distinguishes Wason tasks which people find easy from those that they find difficult. The suggested rule is that a Wason task proves to be easy if the rule to be tested is one of social exchange (in order to receive benefit X you fulfill condition Y) and the subject is asked to police the rule, but is difficult otherwise. If this classification is accepted, then it supports the contention of evolutionary psychologists that certain features of human psychology may be mechanisms that have evolved, through natural selection, to solve specific problems of social interaction, rather than expressions of general intelligence.

A more compelling justification
Proponents of the smart grid often cite reduced carbon emissions through integration of renewable energy and empowered customers as a significant business driver for the smart grid. Although this argument provides a good "warm and fuzzy" for all of us who are interested in reducing carbon emissions, it is too imprecise in value to achieve much traction with utility executives or regulators. A better and much more precise driver for the smart grid is the operational efficiencies that utilities can and should achieve as a result of newer and better technologies.
Utility investments are typically made after the development of a sound business case that is complete with return on investment calculations. One of the profound weaknesses of the stimulus grants and resulting investments is that there is little visibility into the business cases that support them. While this has been helpful to get the ball rolling, so to speak, it will not be sustainable. Regulators and utility executives will demand a solid business case for future investments. Identifying return on investment for reduced carbon emissions and speculation about changes in customer behavior is difficult and subject to interpretation, variability and debate. In short, it will not result in a good business case. If rates are to be increased to help fund smart grid investments, consumers and regulators will demand more precision.
The good news is that the operational benefits of the smart grid are easier to calculate, less subject to variability and present compelling reasons for investment regardless of the reduced carbon issues. Consider, for example, the smart meter, which many believe to be a primary enabling technology of the smart grid. A smart meter may or may not actually lead to reduced power consumption and carbon emissions through changes in customer behavior. It is simply unknown what actions customers may take in response to price signals and how predictable and sustainable those actions will be. But, with a smart meter installed, the utility can operate much more efficiently. Common examples include: remote meter reads; remote on and off orders; outage diagnoses (determining which side of the meter the outage is on) and outage scope and location analysis.
Each of these operational activities has a cost associated with it. For example, a utility knows what it costs to assign a crew and roll a truck in response to a report of an outage at a customer location. If that outage happens to be on the customer's side of the meter, it is a lost cost for the utility in many jurisdictions. The utility also knows how many times that activity occurs each year. The same is true for the other examples. Because these are defined and repeated activities, they are predictable in terms of how much they cost and how much could be saved with the implementation of smart meters. Of course, smart meters are just one example of smart grid technologies that produce operational efficiencies.
Much of the regulatory and media commentary focuses on the carbon based benefits of the smart grid. Those should certainly not be ignored, but we need to recognize that our understanding of them is simply not sophisticated enough yet to help support a good business case. The specific operational benefits of smart grid technologies present us with much more compelling reasons to be excited about the smart grid.
A More Compelling Justification
The power industry tends to operate in a universe all its own, where key business rules and practices that matter in most competitive industries just don't apply. So it is here. A competitive firm that attempted to impose smart meters and complicated tariff structures on its customers would have a tough time surviving.
I would argue that the Smart Grid should end at the utility side of the meter. Period. Customers that wish to replace their meters with a better model should be able to do so (and utilities should be required to accommodate these customers at reasonable cost). Customers that do choose interval meters should have the option to a) stay on their current fixed price/variable volume rate, b) take service under a fixed price/fixed volume rate, or c) take service under a dynamic rate that mirrors wholesale prices. If the early adopters perceive clear benefits, then their neighbors will quickly follow suit. If not, then early adopters will bear the brunt of any costs.
Our industry continually invents new ways to engineer solutions to basic economic problems that have, for the most part, failed repeatedly. Instead, we should be looking at other industries for inspiration, we should abandon our obsession with the futil pursuit of perfect equity, and utilities in particular should be more willing to conduct small experiments with shareholder money so they can avoid the dead weight of regulatory oversight that tends to stifle innovation rather than encouraging it.
The Intelligent Power Industry Justification
Hi Jack,
I think you did not considered my comment in yours, that was posted only six minutes later. I think you were writing while mine was posted. Under that assumption, I am replying to your comment.
In the intelligent power industry, organized under the EWPC-AF, the regulated Smart Grid will be a delivery only intelligent utility. This is a new unverse, where rules and practices that matter in most competitive industries apply on the generation, retail, prosumer (a consumer that has the right to produce) value chain.
For more details, please take a look at The Global Intelliegent Retailer Justification.
The Global Intelligent Retailer Justification
Hi Bart and hscott,
Your propositions are based on the assumption that successive incremental extensions of the Investor Owned Utilities Architecture Framework (IOUs-AF) will help increase efficiency of the power industry. That assumption includes the new intelligent utility incremental extension. The original IOUs-AF had the demand side as an externatility and all the development of the resources were for transmission, distribution, and generation, which are on the supply side.
As you will see below, to be able to develop the revolutionary changes to integrate the resources of the demand side, it is necessary a shift to the Electricty Without Price Control Architecture Framework (EWPC-AF) to open the power industry to innovations, as can be seen through the introductory post Can We Let Google and Wal*Mart be Global Energy Retailers?
In a comment under the article Smart Grid Will Generate $200B of Global Investment, I quoted a renowned industry expert who said that "the impact of new technologies in the industry will be minimal in generation, moderate in transmission, important in distribution, and revolutionary beyond the meter. That means that predictions need to be based on the migration of value from supply to demand."
In fact, most value creation potential in the development of the resources of the demand side is beyond the meter and thus competes with utilities investments in the smart grid, which is the delivery infrastructure. For example, load factors of distribution facilities, which could be, for example, close to 25% in many locations, could go well beyond 50%, meaning higher efficiency based on reduced investments and reduced distribution losses. The reason for such a low load factor is that under demand as an externality requires utilities to invest in sufficient capacity to meet that annual peak demand, which occurs in one hour of the year.
Now, when we loosely compare (the figures do not correspond to the same time period nor include the same items) the prediction of $200B of investments versus the 4 trillion opportunity described in the post Smart Grid 2.0, we know that the huge difference is in the new architecture framework that includes the integration of the demand side, which was explained more than two years ago in the highly read EWPC article Demand Integration is NOT the Province of Politics.
A More Compelling Justification
Yes, the business case will assume its more traditional role in the future. However, you seem to miss the key point -- it took the political impetus of reducing carbon emissions to move the ball forward. Without that impetus, Smart Grid would likely have languished like so many other good ideas. Around the world electric utilities are now moving to Smart Grid, and the driver has primarily been these political considerations.
The politicians merely made a change to the "rules." The prior set of rules were based almost entirely on business case. They weren't divine rules; people chose them because they made sense. But they weren't the only rules that made sense. The flaw with the old rules was that they often didn't allow common sense to factor into decisions. So politicians merely applied a temporary correction factor.
If there is a disappointment here, it is that the politicians did not impose carbon emission considerations to improve the decision-making process. They were merely advocating a political position. In the future when carbon emissions cease to be a decision-making factor, we will still be left with the old flawed system where valid, measurable factors can be disallowed from business cases. Simply stated, we learned nothing and the politicians learned nothing about making wise decisions in our industry.
Too may politicians will reach the wrong conclusion that they need to periodically interfere with our industry's decision-making processes. The right conclusion is that our industry's traditional way of making decisions is good but flawed, and we need to make a minor change to that process so that we can make smarter changes in the future without political interference.

While philosophy lays a foundation for all majors, only a few choose philosophy for their major. Those who do major in philosophy have been successful in finding careers. A number of our graduates have gone into the ministry or mission work; others have become college professors. Some have become lawyers. At least one is a cinematographer.
Most of our graduates combine study in philosophy with another major because philosophy courses help you think systematically about other fields. They help you understand fundamental assumptions, address the validity of arguments, and respond coherently to the challenges of our age. Philosophy helps you build and communicate an integrated, comprehensive vision for Christian discipleship, allowing you to offer leadership in a variety of positions and organizations.

Patent Medicines & Miracle Cures
Original Documents from the Archives of the New York City Bar
September 2011
Patent medicines promising "miracle cures" were widely popular during the 19th and early 20th centuries. According to a 1905 article in Colliers,"The Great American Fraud," American consumers were spending more than seventy-five million dollars a year on patent medicines by the turn of the century. Since there were no restrictions on advertising or labeling, and manufacturers kept their ingredients a secret, these "quack" medicines and nostrums often proved to be deadly mixtures. Cocaine, opium and alcohol were active ingredients in many of the most popular patent medicines. Other products being marketed to an eager public were essentially useless mixtures of herbal ingredients based on cultural superstitions and beliefs. Consumer products were also introduced that used the power of electromagnetism to cure everything from baldness to the lack of vitality in men. Effective mass advertising in almanacs, magazines and newspapers helped fuel the growth of this industry and gave birth to direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical marketing.
In 1906, the Federal Pure Food and Drug Act was enacted, prohibiting interstate commerce of adulterated and misbranded food and drugs. This led most manufacturers to remove narcotics from their products and curtail some of their fraudulent business practices. The New York City Bar has a fascinating collection of advertisements extolling the virtues of patent medicines and their miracle cures.
During the 19th century, New York was home to some of the nation's leading breweries, including Schaeffer, Ruppert and Liebmann. Most breweries were located in Brooklyn neighborhoods with the highest concentration of German immigrants. Liebmann's Brewery was established in 1860 and became famous for making Rheingold beer. In 1896, in an effort to expand its business, Liebmann's promoted a new miracle cure, Teutonic, which claimed to aid nursing mothers and those suffering from insomnia and dyspepsia. Teutonic was a concentrated liquid extract of malt and hops containing a much higher alcohol content than most beers. The success of Teutonic led to similar tonics being offered by Pabst and Anheuser-Busch.
Dr. Holman's Pad Company
Dr. George W. Holman was the inventor of the Holman's Fever, Ague and Liver Pad. Holman's Pad claimed to be the only true cure for, and preventative of, malaria, jaundice, dyspepsia, rheumatism, yellow fever, and sea‑sickness. Holman touted that more than 100,000 people had been cured. Dr. Holman also offered Spleen Belts, Abdominal Pads, Pectoral Pads and Absorptive Medicinal Foot Plasters for cold feet, headaches and sluggish circulation.
Magic Foot Pads
Magic Foot Drafts originated in Jackson, Michigan in 1902. They were large and very sticky plasters that you were supposed to put on the sole of your foot, where they would somehow, by magic, draw out uric acid through the skin. The plaster was made of oilcloth coated with a mixture of pine tar, cornmeal and poke-root. Samuel Hopkins Adams wrote in his expose, The Great American Fraud, "Of course, they might well as be affixed to a barn door, so far as any uric acid extraction is concerned."
Dr. Young's Peptopads
Dr. Young's "Peptopads," also hailed from Jackson, Michigan. During Congressional hearings for the Pure Food and Drug Act, the ads for Peptopads were called misleading for "carrying the impression that the digestive ferment pepsin plays an active part in the cure." Even were pepsin present it was noted that it would have "no effect when administered by the pad."
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was first marketed in 1849 as an indispensable aid to mothers to help soothe babies' pain and discomfort while teething. Advertisements claimed Mrs. Winslow was an experienced nurse and that the syrup had "magical effects and medical virtues." Mrs. Winslow's contained one grain of morphine per fluid ounce, sodium carbonate, spirits foeniculi, and aqua ammonia. Mrs. Winslow's had one of the most effective marketing campaigns, using various media to promote the product, including recipe books, calendars, and trading cards. The American Medical Association in a publication called "Nostrums And Quackery" sharply criticized Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup in a section called "Baby Killers." Those children who did not overdose often became addicted to morphine or suffered from malnutrition. The syrup was finally banned for sale in the U.S. in 1906 but was not withdrawn from sale in the UK until 1930.
Advertised as "harmless little tablets" that could cure obesity without "unwelcome dieting" or violent exercise, Marmola was one of the most popular diet drugs in the early 20th century. Marmola contained desiccated animal thyroid, which often led to hypothyroid conditions including nervousness, insomnia, irregular heartbeat and muscle weakness. When postal authorities threatened the Marmola Company with fraud in 1926, the owner, Edward Hayes, submitted an affidavit promising to end company operations. However, he reopened the business under the name Raladam Company. For the next twenty years, the Raladam Company was involved in litigation for false and misleading advertising.
Herculex Body Battery
The development of electrical technology in the late 19th century fascinated the public with the mysterious powers of electric and magnetic fields. Many "doctors" started to promote devices that promised to give men new strength, power and energy without using drugs. These devices also claimed to relieve pain, enhance sleep and cure a wide variety of diseases, including purifying the blood and eliminating germs. One of the most popular devices was Dr. Alfred Sanden's Herculex Body Battery. Instructions for the device directed consumers to wear the belt around your waist at night to allow the electric currents to impart "new strength" and "native vitality" by acting on wasted energy. The advertisements would specifically target working class men with claims that "every big business man does not one tenth as much actual hard work as you do, but his income is 100 percent greater." A similar product, Williams Medical Batteries, promised to cure paralysis, neuralgia and constipation as well as promote hair growth.
The Electro-Chemical Ring
W.G. Brownson introduced the Electro-Chemical Ring in 1892. He claimed that acid in the blood caused a host of medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and cancer. Brownson advertised that deposits acummulated on the ring was proof of the curative effects of a reaction with acid in the blood. Testing by the Department of Commerce concluded that the ring was made of commercial iron and that no medical benefits were derived from wearing the ring. The government issued a fraud order against Brownson in 1914, but he continued to peddle his ring for a few more years under different brand names. Ionized bracelets, sold via infomercials, have been cited over the last few years by the FTC for deceptive advertising practices and false claims. Despite no scientific evidence many of these bracelets still remain on the market.
The Magno-Electric Vitalizer
Capitalizing on his famous father's inventions, the estranged son of Thomas Edison started his own business in the late 1800's. The company's most successful product was a medical device called the Magno-Electric Vitalizer that used a combination of batteries and magnets that claimed to cure "locomotor ataxia, paralysis, rheumatism, nervous prostration and indigestion." In 1904 the government shut down the company for fraud, relying in part on an affidavit from the senior Thomas Edison doubting his son's ability to "make any invention or discovery of merit." The New York Times reported that Thomas Edison Jr. denied any involvement with the company except to lend his name for promoting these inventions in order to escape from under a mountain of debt and a bad marriage. Thomas Edison Jr. would later succumb to alcoholism and mental illness.
M.S. Borden's Fatoff
The American public has been searching for a miracle cure for obesity for at least a century. M.S. Bordens' Fatoff was one of the leading beauty products in the early 20th century to promote weight loss without dieting and exercise. In its patent filing no mention was made of Fatoff's "remarkable ability to help reduce the waist line," or "double chin," found in its extensive advertising. Government analysis of Fatoff indicated that the product was nothing more than soap and water. In 1914 the Indiana State Board of Health declared that Fatoff, which sold for $1.50 a jar, was essentially a "soft soap" and the value of its ingredients were a "mere five cents."
Dr. Charles Flesh Food
For a product designed to enhance the beauty of early twentieth-century women, Dr. Charles might have chosen a better name than one which now sounds more appropriate for a zombie movie. Dr. Charles claimed his product could "develop the immature bust," and "remove wrinkles from the face and hands, no matter how deep the furrow." In a 1915 report in the Journal of the American Medical Association, "flesh food" was found to be "no better than, if as good as, an ointment made by mixing five parts of vaseline with four parts of starch and adding a dab of zinc oxide."
Kellogg's Sanitone Wafers
Frank J. Kellogg, was a shrewd businessman, who took full advantage of his famous last name despite bearing no relationship to his noteworthy namesakes. Kellogg began marketing an anti-fat product called Rengo in 1902. He would soon find great success in a new product called, Kellogg's Sanitone Wafers, promising to cure men of "muddled brains" and revive "every nerve in your body." For women, the Sanitone Wafers, would get rid of the "blues" and banish headaches, backaches and sleeplessness. All of his products were dispensed on the medical mail-order plan. A free sample would be mailed, with an additional, unsolicited 30-day supply and a request for $5.00. If you sent the money, you were placed on a perpetual monthly mailing of product and invoices. If you didn't respond to the initial request, Kellogg bombarded you with an aggressive series of threatening letters for non-payment. Analysis of a sample of Rengo by the AMA found that the anti-fat formula was a combination of thyroid, poke weed, cascara, acacia, and toasted bread. When taken in the doses recommended by Professor Kellogg it could also cause hypertension, cardiac arrest, and stroke. Analysis of a sample of "Sanitone Wafers" by the federal chemists showed them to contain, salts of iron and chromium, a laxative plant extractive, red pepper and a trace of strychnin. In 1921 Kellogg was ordered by the District Court in Tennessee to cease marketing and destroy his inventory.
Antikamnia Tablets
Antikamnia tablets were first marketed in St. Louis as a "proudly ethical drug." They were used as a treatment for fever, headaches, sour stomachs, nervousness and "the blues." Unlike most patent medicines, Antikamnia was not sold directly to the consumer, but advertised heavily in medical journals to doctors. Antikamnia claimed to be a coal-tar derivative but chemical analysis revealed that the primary ingredient was antanilide, a toxic metabolite of acetphenetidin. Antikamnia was mixed with codeine or quinine to enhance its pain relieving effects. Acetphenetidin is now recognized as causing birth defects and impaired fertility when consumed during pregnancy. In 1907 the California State Journal of Medicine published the article, Poisoning by Antikamnia. The Antikamnia Chemical Company was prosecuted in 1914 for failing to disclose the source of the active ingredients on it's packaging (231 U.S. 654).
Thacher Magnetic Shield Company
Thacher's Magnetic Shields did not claim to heal rheumatism, kidney and liver problems by drawing out uric acid in the body. Instead, C.J. Thacher advertised that by sewing his magnetic pads into any piece of clothing it would have the "irresistible, penetrating power of magnetism to rout disease at any point." In one interview Thacher claimed his product could cure paralysis and insanity. Samuel Hopkins Adams called Thacher, "The King of Quackdom."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - At least one person is dead and officials say residents fled wearing only pajamas after a thunderous, late-night explosion destroyed at least two homes and set surrounding homes ablaze in an Indianapolis neighborhood.
Officials say the powerful blast caught sleeping people unaware as it knocked garage doors off their hinges, shattered windows and caved in walls of homes on the south side of Indianapolis.
The cause of the explosion and fires wasn't immediately clear, but Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard dismissed speculation of a possible plane crash.
Fire officials said separately that investigators would be checking whether natural gas was possibly involved, cautioning that the investigation was only in the preliminary stages. A smell of natural gas hung in the air on a nearby route as authorities barricaded all access routes to the neighborhood to all but official vehicles.
