While Starfleet tightens security measures on Earth, Sisko and Odo discover that Admiral Leyton is deviously plotting to take over the planet. (Part 2 of 2)
In the aftermath of the planet-wide power outage a state of emergency has been declared on Earth, and Starfleet Security has a presence in every neighborhood on the planet. Captain Sisko and Odo are at Starfleet Headquarters, and Sisko remarks on his discomfort with the situation – "the more I read Starfleet's reports on the sabotage of the power relays, the more unanswered questions I have." Odo then comes up with another question in need of an answer: Red Squad was beamed back to Starfleet Academy twenty-six minutes after the state of emergency was declared, unlike the rest of Starfleet. Upon learning that Red Squad are cadets, Odo reasons that Starfleet wanted them out of harm's way... only for Sisko to immediately point out that Red Squad was re-mobilized a short time later.
Act One
In New Orleans, Joseph and Jake are reopening the restaurant, since Joe is convinced that he's got plenty of customers. There are troops on every block, after all.
Back at Starfleet Headquarters, Sisko (with Odo standing out of sight) contacts the Commandant of Starfleet Academy about the transporter record he found, and the Commandant immediately becomes guarded, and asks if anyone else knows about it... specifically, Admiral Leyton. Sisko replies that he doesn't, and the Commandant orders Sisko to destroy the record. Playing along, Sisko tells him it'll be taken care of, and the Commandant notes that despite his concerns Red Squad performed their mission admirably. The call ends, and Odo notes that instead of answers all they've got are a lot more questions.
Sometime later Sisko goes to New Orleans and is discussing his frame of mind with his father when Nog steps up to his table. It seems that Sisko wants to meet some of the members of Red Squad, and wants Nog to make an introduction. However, Nog is reluctant to disclose any information as the names on Red Squad's roster are supposed to be a secret and he worries that revealing a name could scupper his chances of getting into the group. Sisko tells Nog that he seems to be under the mistaken impression that he's asking a favor, which he isn't... and directly orders Nog to give him a name, which settles that.
At Starfleet Academy Sisko holds an interview with one Cadet Riley Shepard. After stating that Red Squad had been briefed to expect that no record would be made of their activity, Shepard explains Red Squad's involvement with the power outage: in brief, they were the ones who did all of the hands-on work to make it happen.
Sisko goes back to New Orleans with Odo and the two of them discuss what Sisko's learned. After ruling out Dominion involvement (since nothing has been accomplished through the incident except the fortification of Earth), Sisko reluctantly agrees with Odo's belief that the state of emergency was engineered by a clique of Starfleet officers led by Leyton, with the intent of staging a coup d'état.
Act Two
Sisko and Odo take what information they have to Federation President Jaresh-Inyo, who is skeptical and shocked. Jaresh-Inyo wants proof, and Sisko says that if Leyton is ordered to withdraw the troops he's deployed, he'll refuse – thereby providing the proof Jaresh-Inyo wants. However, Jaresh-Inyo says he can't do that, since scaling back security measures would be a political disaster with the potential to start riots. Sisko offers to bring irrefutable evidence of a plot, and Jaresh-Inyo promises that with that, he would certainly put a stop to it.
Back in New Orleans Sisko is waiting in his father's restaurant for Nog and Cadet Shepard. Nog eventually arrives, but without Shepard in tow – apparently Shepard was nowhere to be found, along with the rest of Red Squad. Just after making that announcement, Leyton steps into the restaurant and states that neither Shepard nor the rest of Red Squad will be returning to Earth anytime soon. Leyton then orders Nog back to the Academy.
A conversation ensues in which Leyton admits to what he is doing, and that he involved Sisko because the credibility of the latter's field experience was vital to Leyton's plan. Leyton goes on to lecture Sisko about the importance of the chain of command, and point out that he still needs Sisko's cooperation. Sisko refuses, and Leyton orders him back to Deep Space 9.
Sometime later, Sisko's outside with his thoughts when a man appearing to be Miles O'Brien (but who is actually a Changeling) approaches him and claims that there are only four Changelings on Earth, implying that if this much damage can be caused by four Changelings on Earth, the potential damage is much greater. Just as quickly as he arrived, O'Brien's doppelgänger leaves.
Act Three
After getting some advice from his father, Sisko contacts Kira Nerys and starts putting a plan into motion.
At Starfleet Headquarters, Odo and Sisko start reviewing records of personnel transfers, and discover that "Leyton's been a busy man", reassigning "over 400 officers in the past three weeks." Further examination of the records reveals that another batch of transfers will take effect just days hence, not long before Jaresh-Inyo is due to make an important speech.
When Sisko goes to Jaresh-Inyo to deliver his evidence of the plot, he finds Admiral Leyton waiting for him. Sisko's given a blood screening, and it turns up a false positive.
Act Four
Sisko is sent back to Starfleet Headquarters and placed in detention, and from the other side of his holding cell's force field, Leyton declares that the President's speech will never take place, but rather the speech will be given by Leyton himself. He intends to remove Jaresh-Inyo from office and take control of Earth himself.
Later, when a security tech comes through the brig to take blood screenings, Odo appears and disables the guards, as well as the tech whose cart he'd hitched a ride on in some other form. While hot-wiring the force field controls, Odo explains that the random opening and closing of the Bajoran wormhole, which precipitated the current phase of the crisis, was the direct consequence of sabotage on the part of one Lieutenant Arriaga stationed on DS9 – and that the USS Defiant is on its way to Earth with Arriaga aboard. Sisko orders Odo to warn Jaresh-Inyo, and goes to Leyton's office carrying a phaser.
Sisko arrives at Leyton's office demanding his resignation from Starfleet and informs him of Arriaga's impending arrival, Leyton is amused but unimpressed. As it turns out the USS Lakota is ordered to intercept the Defiant – its crew has been told that the Defiant is crewed by Changelings.
On the Defiant, which is commanded by Worf the Lakota crew hails and demand that the ship drop its shields and prepare to be boarded as the ship raises shields and charges weapons.
Act Five
In Leyton's office, Sisko tries to convince Leyton that removing an elected President and establishing a military dictatorship on Earth will never be accepted by the people of the Federation and could even lead to civil war. Having the Lakota fire on the Defiant is the first step down that dark path, but Leyton refuses to cancel the order.
On the Defiant, the crew wonder if the Lakota crew are bluffing however once they enter weapons range they are fired upon by the Excelsior class ship. Chief O'Brien notes that the Lakota seems to have had its weapons upgraded, and unwilling to risk dropping shields to cloak and unsure they can outrun the Lakota, the crew's only option is to fight their way out.
Leyton notes the irony that Sisko had originally been more interested in engineering than he was command, until Leyton made him First Officer but notes that he didn't teach Ben about loyalty. Sisko balks at this, feeling Leyton is the last person to talk about loyalty when he's broken his oath to Starfleet and ordered one of its ships to fire on another.
Just then Benteen hails Leyton and the Admiral, still at phaser-point, answers. Benteen informs him they've been unable to stop the Defiant due to her ablative armor (the equipping of which wasn't on the record). Leyton amends his orders so that Defiant isn't to be disabled but destroyed at any cost. Benteen is shocked, and Sisko pleads with her not to kill the Starfleet officers serving on the Defiant since she knows there's no Changelings on board. Benteen ends the transmission after Leyton reminds her of her orders.
Both the Defiant and the Lakota have been badly damaged, and a good hit from either will finish the other off. The Defiant crew are unwilling to use deadly force against the other crew... and it seems the Lakota crew feel the same as the ship backs off and hails.
Sisko is contacted by Worf, who tells him the Lakota is escorting the Defiant to Earth however both ships suffered casualties. Sisko tells Leyton that by now Odo will have presented his evidence to Jaresh-Inyo... his plot is over. Leyton still refuses to accept this, and tells Sisko he has enough officers left to make a fight of it. Sisko tells him he'll be fighting Starfleet now as well and Benteen, who was his closest ally, has already abandoned him so it'll be only a matter time before the others do too. Finally accepting he's been beaten, Leyton takes off his insignia and leaves his office to be arrested but hopes that Sisko isn't making a mistake.
The state of emergency is soon lifted, and Earth slowly begins to return to normal. Odo points out to everyone there are still changelings on Earth, but no-one is willing to let them change they live... if the Dominion want to destroy Earth they have to do it themselves. With that, Ben and Jake say a fond farewell to Joseph and with Odo begin their trip back to Deep Space Nine.

Background Information
Story and script
- This episode was originally supposed to be the opening episode of the fourth season, with "Homefront" being the finale of the third season. Towards the end of season 3 however, Paramount said they didn't want a cliffhanger finale, but something more open-ended leading into season 4. The writers' solution was "The Adversary", a finale which put them in a position to go in any number of alternative directions come the new season. Then, during the hiatus between season 3 and season 4, Paramount instructed the writers to do "something" to shake up the show for the fourth season, which ultimately led to the introduction of the Klingons and the episode "The Way of the Warrior". All of these developments meant that the "Homefront"/"Paradise Lost" story was pushed back into the middle of the fourth season. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The title of this episode, much like the graffiti on the entrance to Paradise City, both take their name from a 17th century poem written by the English poet John Milton.
- Ira Steven Behr's favorite line in this episode is "Paradise never seemed so well armed". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) This line, and the title of the episode itself, recalls Sisko's line in "The Maquis, Part II", "it's easy to be a saint in paradise", thus continuing Behr's examination of the core of Gene Roddenberry's utopia.
- In a deleted or unfilmed scene, Jake and Joseph were to leave Earth for Mars from Bracketville spaceport. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion - A Series Guide and Script Library)
- Although it is almost impossible to make them out, outside Starfleet Command are a number of statues of famous starships, including the Enterprise from the Original Series. Production designer Herman Zimmerman used Galoob toys as the statues. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- When Odo rescues Sisko he uses what appears to be a Vulcan nerve pinch. The reason the producers had him do this was simple: "we ran out of money for the morphs" explains Robert Hewitt Wolfe. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- As a direct result of the show being pushed back into mid-season when there wasn't too much money around, Robert Hewitt Wolfe was disappointed with the outcome of the two-parter; "If it hadn't been for "The Way of the Warrior", we would have had the necessary money to spend on this two-parter". As well as that, he was disappointed with its positioning within the season; "It wasn't in sweeps. It came out of the middle of nowhere". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, Ira Steven Behr keeps a note pinned to his office wall which reads "Remember Paradise Lost". The reason, Behr explains, is "to remind me how we'd screwed up". As with "Homefront", Behr blames a lack of money, but in this case, the problems created by budgetary constraints were far more important than in the first episode; "We cut down on opticals in the final space scene, which was a mistake. And we cut down on extras, in terms of showing the occupying Starfleet force on the streets of Earth. To this day, I just can't tell you how aggravated it makes me. It just drives me crazy."
- Red Squad was seen again in the sixth season episode "Valiant", in which David Drew Gallagher reprised the role of Riley Shepard.
- Susan Gibney, who plays Erika Benteen, previously portrayed Dr. Leah Brahms in TNG: "Booby Trap" and TNG: "Galaxy's Child".
- This is the only episode of the series where Sisko wears the TNG-style uniform for the duration. The only time he is seen wearing his regular DS9-style uniform is in the recap of the previous episode.
- This is the last episode to be directed by Reza Badiyi.
- Interestingly, Robert Foxworth played General Hague on Babylon 5, another character who attempted a coup against the Earth government, however, that coup was an attempt to depose a fascist government, rather than trying to create one. He wasn't successful there, either – he was killed in a firefight (offscreen, though, as Foxworth was actually filming this episode at the time).
- The events of this episode (a Starfleet admiral attempting a military coup) are similar to the plot of Pocket TOS: Dreadnought!, a novel by Diane Carey, written about a decade prior to DS9's production. The idea also was part of the original concept for the early TNG episode "Conspiracy".
- There are also similarities to TNG: "The Pegasus". In both an admiral is attempting to perform criminal acts to serve what they consider 'the greater good.' In each an officer formerly under their command tries to dissuade them, fails, and forces them to face justice.
- This episode also shares a common theme with "The Drumhead". In both episodes, the characters have to resist influences to sacrifice the values of the Federation to purportedly "save" its way of life.
- The names of the former members of the USS Okinawa are all named after characters from Joseph Heller's famous 1961 novel Catch 22.
- A very subtle reference is made to the number 47 when it appears as one of the section numbers of the Transport tube outside of Starfleet Command.
- Excluding the recap from "Homefront", this is the third out of four DS9 episodes that do not have any scenes set on the station.

Sodexo Bid Wins Fordham Food Service Contract
Contact: Bob Howe
(212) 636-6538
Sodexo has been named the winning firm for Fordham University's food service contract as the result of a bidding process that began in August 2012. The 10-year, multimillion-dollar contract will begin on July 1, 2013.
The new contract calls for new meal plan offerings, greater flexibility, better pricing for students, improved facilities (which Sodexo is backing with capital investments), and improved administrative support and oversight in areas such as quality assurance and supervision. The contract also provides for significant incentives and penalties tied to Sodexo's performance in key areas. Five firms were qualified by Fordham's outside consultant to bid (based on the resources of the vendor and their assessed ability to manage an account of Fordham's size and complexity); three ultimately submitted bids.
"Sodexo is the best choice for Fordham's dining services because it demonstrated its ability to accomplish a number of important objectives throughout the evaluation process this past year," said Gabelli School junior Brendan Francolini, operations vice president of United Student Government (USG) at Rose Hill, and chair of the student engagement committee. "Sodexo will provide the most variety for students in regard to dining venues, meal plan options, and food preferences."
Alexa Rodriguez, a senior at Fordham College at Lincoln Center, said, "Sodexo offered the stronger proposal, and I think we will see real changes occur on campus, including improvement in the quality and variety of the food."
Rodriguez served on the student engagement committee, and was president of USG at Lincoln Center this year. "I think Sodexo will be the better fit for Fordham—they are committed to doing whatever it takes to work with students to create the best dining service experience, and that is exactly what Fordham needs."
The process, overseen by Jeffrey L. Gray, senior vice president for student affairs, was managed by a committee comprised of students and administrators, aided by an outside consulting firm, the Rochelle Group, which specializes in food service management. A group of eight student leaders served on a subcommittee formed specifically to address student concerns and preferences in food services.
"We think this contract offers substantial benefits to Fordham students and to the University," Gray said. "I have to thank the committee members who evaluated the bids, especially the student members, who not only brought rigorous analysis to the process, but also helped drive revisions to the bids that substantially improved them."
Aspects of the new contract include the following:
• More creative menus/varied choices
• More flexible meal plan options that include discounts and off-campus debit options
• Appointment of a food services contract liaison, a newly created position (recommended by Fordham's consultants) with a salary to be funded by Sodexo
• Performance monitoring of Department of Health inspection results, student satisfaction, operational metrics, and regular third-party reviews
• Incentives and penalties tied to performance goals
• Increased supervisory personnel in quality assurance and management
• Sustainability initiatives
• Renovations of dining facilities
• On-site sanitarian
• On-site nutritionist
"The difference between Sodexo's bid proposal and that of the other finalist was dramatic," according to Stephen Erdman, a Fordham College at Rose Hill senior and president of USG at Rose Hill. "I feel confident that students will be very pleased with the facilities renovations, meal plan packages, and menu options Sodexo's new contract will make possible next year."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

Cubs Aiming For 700 Club
Remember the number 700. It's likely the minimum number of runs scored the Cubs need to reach to make the postseason.
In 2011 Chicago managed 654 runs scored, good for eighth place in the 16 team NL, but only fourth best in their own division.
The world champion Cardinals, meanwhile, led the NL with 762 runs scored–108 more runs than Chicago.
Playoff contenders Arizona (No.4), Milwaukee (No.5) & Philadelphia (No.7) all finished in the top 10 spots.
Although the Cubs did as well, there's a sizable gap in this department compared to the Phillies who finished one spot higher.
Philadelphia scored 59 more runs than the Cubs, which averages out to nearly a half run more per game than Chicago–that's a lot!
How the departures of run producers Aramis Ramirez & Carlos Pena effects the Cubs is still to be determined. It leaves us guessing whether Chicago will even match its runs scored total from 2011, let alone topping the 700 plateau.
But of course, runs scored isn't everything!
Cincinnati finished No.2 in the NL in runs scored. Colorado was No.3 and the Mets No.6. None finished higher than 17.0 games back in its division.
Which brings us to runs allowed…where the Reds, Rockies, Mets & Cubs all finished near the top (or bottom, depending how you view it) of the league standings.
Similar to runs scored, the benchmark for playoff contenders is to allow fewer than 700 runs, which, not surprisingly, all four NL playoff teams achieved.
St. Louis sneaked under with 692. The Diamondbacks allowed 662, Milwaukee 638 and the Phillies led the league with stingy 529 runs allowed!
Chicago on the other hand allowed 756 runs–227 more than Philadelphia and more than a half run more per game than the Cubs scored themselves.
The addition of a second Wild Card will seemingly add flex around the 700-marker concerning runs scored & allowed, at least in terms of defining playoff contenders.
But until the Cubs significantly reverse its run totals, both for and against, a post season appearance isn't in the making.

I know the feeling. At a bar it's one thing to order what's cheap. But asked what their favorite beer is, I immediately look down on anyone who responds with "budweiser" and to a lesser extent heineken. Some people genuinly like heineken, but most don't know what they're talking about. And if your favorite is bud, then you suck.Originally Posted by sKratch
On a further note about Sam Adams. For all their colorful flavors, ads, and bottles, they're actually kind of bland. The black and the Irish Red are fucking awesome. I've had some cherry and blackberry Sam, and that was pretty good for what it was(not the biggest fruity beer fan). But I just recently had the coastal wheat, the Nobel Pils, and some Bolo(boston lager). All decent beers but none are very distinct compared to the rest of the market. It seems like they're just adding things to the same beer. Like diet coke with splenda.

It depends on my mood, Although my usual is Stella, Red Stripe or Sol (More mellow than Corona in my opinion). You'll always find me with one of them! NOT if the place has Sailor Jerry's however!
two words: four loko.
I've recently started, and completed watching the TV series Dexter. He drinks this brand called Presidente, and I looked it up and it turns out that it's a real product...which surprised me a little because it shows Dexter turning to such websites as "Internet Search!" instead of a more valid search engine.
But anyway, I was intrigued enough to want to try it, but more research shows that it's made in the Dominican Republic and the only easy place to get it is Florida. Anybody try it ever? What's it Like?

An intriguing welterweight matchup between fast-rising prospect Jordan Mein (23-7 MMA, 1-0 SF) and undefeated contender Tyron Woodley (9-0 MMA, 7-0 SF) has been added to January's "Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine" event.
Strikeforce officials today announced the new booking.
Featuring a middleweight title fight between champion Luke Rockhold and UFC vet Keith Jardine, "Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine" takes place Jan. 7 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The night's main card, including Mein vs. Woodley, airs on Showtime.
A former collegiate wrestler at the University of Missouri, Woodley turned to American Top Team to help guide his entrance into MMA. The results have been impressive to date with Woodley rattling off nine-straight wins to open his professional career.
Woodley most recently fought at July's Strikeforce and M-1 Global co-promoted event, where "T-Wood" earned a decision win over dangerous slugger Paul Daley. Woodley also has defeated Tarec Saffiedine and Andre Galvao, among others, during his current run.
Meanwhile, Canadian youngster Mein, just 21 years old, makes his second appearance under the Strikeforce banner. "Young Gun" debuted for the promotion in September and registered a TKO win over Brazilian slugger Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos. Mein currently is riding a six-fight win streak and is 10-1 in his past 11 overall fights.

The corn was planted in June at the Stony Hill Farm in Chester.
Owner Dale Davis tells Newark's The Star-Ledger newspaper (http://bit.ly/13Fl0kE ) he chose the maze to get people interested. He says everybody recognizes Christie but he doesn't know whether a lot of people would recognize gubernatorial rival Sen. Barbara Buono (BWOH'-noh).
Christie is far ahead of Buono in public polls and leads among nearly every demographic group. He's seen as a viable contender for the 2016 Republican nomination for president.
The Morris County maze will open to the paying public Aug. 31. The election is Nov. 5.

Residents of Leesburg shouldn't be surprised if
they hear loud bangs at sundown for the next week.
Biologists are trying to scare away some
creepy-looking creatures.
Michelle Basch, wtop.com
LEESBURG, Va. – Residents of Leesburg shouldn't be surprised if they hear loud bangs at sundown for the next week.
Biologists are trying to scare away some creepy-looking creatures.
Vultures have been roosting by the hundreds in trees right near people's homes in parts of town.
The birds are a vital part of the food chain, but their droppings are so acidic they can damage the paint on cars.
The droppings and the weight of the birds can damage trees as well.
"They defecate all over the place and they destroyed one of our trees," says Jessica Paulin, who lives on Mayfair Drive NE. The tree she's talking about is bare and full of broken branches.
"In some locations, vultures will start to pick at anything that's rubber or soft. Things like the shingles. On a car they'll also pick at all of the weatherstripping on the car (and) they'll do the windshield wipers," says Carol Bannerman, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services.
So many complaints about the birds came in late last year that for the first time since 2007 the town hired the USDA's Wildlife Services Program to drive the vultures away.
The most noticeable weapons in the program's arsenal are pyrotechnics.
The cartridges are fired from a launcher that looks like a gun, and their names – "bangers" and "screamers" – describe the sounds they make.
Another way the biologists are harassing the birds is by hanging a dead vulture high in a tree where the birds like to roost.
Supervisory Wildlife Biologist Dage Blixt and two other biologists used a child's bow and arrow, fishing line, some string and a dead, frozen vulture to set up the display called an effigy.
"The idea is to hang them by the feet upside down, so they're hanging upside down and when they're not frozen the wings will come out a little bit, and that seems to be the best pose that the other vultures don't care for," says Blixt.
He says the effigy is usually very effective at keeping live birds away.
"Without it, we could be doing this for 30 nights in a row. With it, we hope to be done in five to seven," he says.
A third thing the biologists may use this week to drive away the birds is laser light.
Bannerman says she's heard from some residents who were worried that the laser may damage the birds' eyes, so she did some digging.
"I did check today with our National Wildlife Research Center which does research on birds for a variety of reasons, and they said that we have done testing on this 10 years ago with cormorants and they found that the birds really see the lasers as nothing more than an unusual disturbance and it does not harm them," she says.
Blixt says he's been coming to Leesburg on and off for 13 years to help scare vultures off.
"There are a lot of vultures in this part of Virginia, particularly this time of year. Why are they here? I don't know," he says.
Watch the video below to see officials firing the pyrotechnics.

What's awesome about the first NerdyShirts NerdyShort is not necessarily the short itself, but the fact that it was shot entirely on an iPhone 3G S! How cool is that! I'm a fan of compact video making so I cannot wait to pick up and try out the new iPhone 3G S video features. My only wish was that it could shoot in HD ala the Flip Mino HD. Maybe in the next iteration? Maybe.Â
Below NerdyShort #1 I've got the 3 NerdyShirt tees that are seen in this short film – Nerd, Free Hugs and Admiral Ackbar's It's A Trap Shirt. Each of those shirts are available for purchase at NerdyShirts for $19.95.Â
And finally from NerdyShirts I've got their newest tee, it's called Who Writes This Stuff and is based on a shirt from the new Adam Sandler/Judd Apatow flick, Funny People. If you were this shirt I guarantee it will strike up conversation. Whether you want that or not, well, you decide! It's available for presale now at NerdyShirts for $14.95. Â

KFAI expands audience though Somali-oriented programming, social media
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Music always has been a part of Janis Lane-Ewart's life; rhythm and blues was the norm in her home while growing up in Chicago. Although her aspirations initially were to pursue law, and Lane-Ewart studied political science in college, she eventually became an administrator for Chicago Music Collective. When Lane-Ewart relocated in 1989 to the Twin Cities, she worked with a local arts organization. But then the proverbial "phone" rang and her career changed directions. "The radio business called me," she recalls of her first foray into radio when she became a volunteer at KFAI Radio to host a weekly jazz program. Continue Reading →

This tire iron is a monster. I thought bigger was better, but with a standard 18 and 19 inch dirt bike tire, it was a little too big to get around the sprocket/disc area. I found the standard size irons suited my jobs better. But none the less, if you want a quality iron with lots of size and strength, THIS IS THE ONE!Read All Reviews
Chris in Pennsylvania
This is a great tire iron to use. Excellent feel, excellent leverage. But, I dropped it on the ground while changing a tire (on the ground, not on a bench or stand) and the plastic handle broke clean off. I cannot use it anymore. It's not like it broke the end off, literally the entire plastic handle broke off. Ah well.Read All Reviews

Photograph by Michael Nichols
Photograph by Reba Peck
Michael "Nick" Nichols is an award-winning photographer whose work has taken him to the most remote corners of the world. He became a staff photographer for National Geographic magazine in 1996 and was named Editor at Large for photography in 2008. From 1982 to 1995 he was a member of Magnum Photos, the prestigious cooperative founded by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa. Born in 1952 in Alabama, Nichols's training in photography began when he was drafted into the U.S. Army's photography unit in the early 1970s. He later studied his craft at the University of North Alabama, where he met his mentor, former Life magazine photographer Charles Moore. Nichols lives in Sugar Hollow, Virginia, with his wife, artist Reba Peck.
Nichols has photographed 27 stories for National Geographic magazine, most recently "Orphans No More" (September 2011), the final chapter in his 20-year endeavor to document the emotions and intelligence of elephants. In "Redwoods: The Super Trees" (October 2009), he used groundbreaking rigging and stitching techniques to create an 84-image composite of a 300-foot-tall, 1,500-year-old redwood tree. The Visa Pour L'Image festival in Perpignan, France, featured a 60-foot-tall print of this composite at its 2010 festival. Another story, "Family Ties, the Elephants of Samburu" (September 2008), was shown at the 20th anniversary of Visa Pour L'Image in 2008.
From 1999 to 2002 Nichols documented conservationist Mike Fay's Megatransect expedition across Africa. Fay walked 2,000 miles (3,219 kilometers) on foot from Congo's deepest rainforest to the Atlantic coast of Gabon, studying Africa's last great wilderness. Nichols's work from this undertaking can be seen in the 2001 National Geographic magazine articles "Megatransect: Across 1,200 Miles of Untamed Africa on Foot," "Green Abyss: Megatransect, Part II," and "End of the Line: Megatransect, Part III."
In 2005 National Geographic Books published The Last Place on Earth, a book featuring Nichols's photographs and Fay's journals from the Megatransect expedition. Nichols has produced five other books, including Keepers of the Kingdom, a photographic essay reflecting on changes in U.S. zoos; The Year of the Tiger, which focuses on the world's remaining tigers; and Brutal Kinship, a look at the timorous bond between man and chimpanzee, with text by Jane Goodall. He is currently working on a new book, Earth to Sky, which will illustrate the complex and emotional relationships of elephant families. In August 2011, Nichols released an iPad app featuring his life's work, with new stories and never-before-published images.
Nichols has been featured in Paris Match, Rolling Stone, Life, Aperture, American Photographer, and many other magazines. He has won first prize four times for nature and environment stories in the World Press Photo competition. His other numerous awards come from the Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Pictures of the Year International competitions. In 1982 the Overseas Press Club of America granted him a prize for reporting "above and beyond the call of duty," an honor usually reserved for combat photographers.
Nichols is the co-executive director and founder of the annual LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph in Charlottesville, Virginia. Now in its sixth season, this three-day celebration of peace, love, and photography includes on-stage interviews, gallery exhibits, multimedia projections, and workshops from both established and emerging photographers, as well as an interactive exhibit encouraging all festival attendees to share their photographs.

Christov Mahonvic

Christov Mahonvic is a criminal in Liberty City who is wanted by the LCPD for grand theft auto. He can be killed by Niko Bellic, depending on the players choice. Mahonvic previously worked for both Vlad Glebov and Mikhail Faustin. During two missions Niko encounters him and it is possible to kill him, but somehow he survives and continues to live the criminal lifestyle up to the point where he is wanted by the L.C.P.D.
It is interesting to note that Mahonvic bears a striking resemblance to lovemeet user Mark Tenninch. Tenninch is most probably Mahonvic's secret identity, and that is his way of leading a double life.

Lots of work to do on smart grid; it's expensive and some things haven't yet been invented.
The "smart grid" or "Intelligent Utility", which is receiving a tremendous amount of press and promotion from the federal government on down is a very good idea. A self-healing grid that can incorporate distributed generation and a lot of other changes probably lies in the U.S. future, if we as a nation and an industry can come up with the money to pay for it, a big IF!
I was at Sierra Energy Group/Energy Central's annual Knowledge conference of CIOs last week and CIOs generally agree with the paragraph above. However, like me, they are concerned about the funding issue. It is going to cost a tremendous amount of money and right now no one knows where all that money will come from unless the general public is prepared to pay much higher rates for electricity—estimates range from 25% more to 300% or more, depending on who is counting.
There also is the issue that some technologies needed to enable the smart grid haven't even yet been invented. The good news is that people are working on that problem. I had occasion a couple of weeks ago to look at one such technology. It is a "Distributed Energy Resource Information Center (DERIC). What a DERIC does is "enable grid-wide energy generation data" in real time, or near real time.
Everyone knows that wind power, solar power and other renewable energy sources are intermittent and cannot substitute for base load. However, when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, they can help. There also are other sources of distributed generation, including commercial and industrial facilities that have their own generation sources, battery storage, etc. etc. To date, utilities really have no way of really knowing in real time what is out there, when it is available and at what load factor. The DERIC promises to solve that problem by linking information from all distributed generation sources through open APIs to allow efficient operation and strategic planning for a smart grid.
Under development by Smith Energy Company, Cambridge, MA, (www.smithenergyco.com) DERIC would solve one of the problems the smart grid faces. It would serve as a software-as-service platform (at pretty reasonable rates, as described to me) to aggregate, analyze and present energy generation information from distributed sources. The platform would allow "regulatory agencies, grid managers, and load-serving entities to view real-time generation across their systems for hour-ahead and day ahead planning." It would provide a single platform for DG in any service territory, "eliminating the time and costs of developing hundreds of applications between each DG installer/developer and the regulated entities in whose territories they operate".
DERIC isn't yet ready for prime-time, but it is representative of the kind of thinking and development work that is going to have to be done if this thing (smart grid) is going to get off the ground. It falls into the category of one of those things that haven't yet even been invented. People are working on them.

If you're anything like me, this weather has you daydreaming about sunny days and summer vacation--making it the perfect time to watch summer-themed movies while wrapped up in a warm blanket on the couch. One of my favorite summer movies, The Sandlot, a coming-of-age story about a group of neighborhood kids who spend the summer of '62 playing baseball, always makes me think of a time when summer vacation felt like FOREVER. We don't have The Sandlot in our collection (it is available to resident borrowers through MeLCat) but we do have another summertime movie that gives me that same sense of nostalgia: Stand by Me. Though a bit darker than The Sandlot, this Stephen King classic definitely evokes a summery mood and would be a perfect fix for those winter doldrums.
Here are a few other summery suggestions:
Moonrise Kingdom
Wet Hot American Summer
Dirty Dancing
