Beyonce is getting advice on how to consciously uncouple with Jay Z from Gwyneth Paltrow. That's because she wants her breakup to appear as amicable as Gwyneth's split from Chris Martin. Of course, we still don't know if Beyoncé and Jay Z are actually splitting up. A source says, "The day after the announcement, Bey and Jay will be spotted together. The two will be all lovey-dovey."
In the Big Fat Rumor of the Day, it's possible that the sexiest man in the world may be reproduced. Some tabloids are reporting that George Clooney's fiancée Amal Alamuddin is pregnant. So far Clooney's rep is claiming that's not true. Time will tell, right?
It's hard to keep up with the relationship status of Chris Brown and his sometimes girlfriend Karrueche Tran. But this week, he made her his #WCW yet again, Brown posted a beautiful photo of Tran on Instagram with the caption, "damn near 5 years and this woman still putting up with my s--t. Need to have this baby and stop playing! Lol!" She also made Breezy her #MCM earlier this week, posting a sweet photo of the couple with the caption, "Lovers.. Friends.. We love, we laugh, we fight.. It's complicated and I can't explain it but it's not for you to understand but us .. My MCM," and followed up with a "date night" shot of the duo enjoying a nice seafood dinner.
Usher recently teamed up with Honey Nut Cheerios for a commercial and the title of his new album may have been revealed in an ad. A graphic in the corner of the screen says the song playing in the background is "She Came to Give It to You", and says, 'From the album 'UR'." Those are his initials. But Usher's rep says the title is not yet confirmed.
UPDATE: The video was marked private for several hours, but now it's been edited to just say his name below the title of the song.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are living apart and headed for divorce because they can't stand each other. Mariah reportedly doesn't trust Nick, while Nick is tired of being bossed around. Nick is currently living out of hotels because they're fighting all the time. One of their issues is that Mariah doesn't trust him. One source says, "Nick loathes that Mariah treats him like her servant. She gives him a chore list and barks orders at him." The source says Nick is waiting for Mariah to file for divorce, and when she does, he's going to gun for a chunk of her estimated $500 million fortune. Nick and Mariah have 3-year-old twins named Moroccan and Monroe. She's 44, he's 33.

My Take On 'Lance The Liar' & Time Wasting Interviews
Livestrong? More like Liestrong.
What a worthless coward. Lance's doping isn't even the worse part. The despicable treatment of his sport and the shameful behavior towards his teammates, specifically those dismissed from the team who failed to adopt the doping program, his fans and his foundation are unforgivable.
Lance tells Oprah "he's now paying the price." What 'price' I'd like to know? Besides relinquishing his cycling awards and repaying a pittance of money he unfairly earned, nothing has changed. A half-truthful interview does little, if anything, to repair the damage.
It's not that I'm against second chances, lord knows I've needed a few, but I doubt this scumbag could do anything to re-earn the trust of anyone. If Sir Lies-A-Lot wants to do any favors he can crawl into a hole and disappear. What a slime ball disgrace.
It was nearly four years ago we watched Alex Rodriguez sit down with Peter Gammons on national television to come clean on his his use of illegal performance enhancers.
The most troubling part of that interview, however, was Gammons resistance to push A-Fraud with follow-up questions. But as Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News points out:
"Make no mistake, once Gammons landed the interview with Rodriguez, his job was done. This was a huge coup for the Worldwide Leader. The rating, compared to a normal SportsCenter broadcast, had to be monster. That's the important thing to remember here. Ratings and buzz rule. So what if you gain access by kicking your own credibility to the curb."
Thankfully, Oprah pressed harder and dug deeper on Lance than Gammons did on A-Roid, but neither interviewer did justice for demanding a straight answer.
If I could hand pick the interviewer for both these clowns I'd go with Bob Costas, who remains one of the best in the business. His strong opinions have obviously made him a lightning rod for many viewers, but more importantly, there's no denying Costas shows zero hesitation in relentlessly asking the tough questions, as he did grilling Jerry Sandusky in November of 2011.
As an aspiring broadcaster in college I often respected the bulldog interview approach of Jim Gray, who David Halberstam, an American Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, named as one of the 50 greatest sports broadcasters of all time.
Gray's interview techniques, at times, became so confrontational it even made the viewers at home squirm. But Gray's lines of questioning were also fact based and spot on…that is until 'The Decision' aired by ESPN on July 8, 2010 when Gray fed LeBron James softball questions about joining the Miami Heat vs. remaining with his home town Cleveland Cavaliers. Much like Gammons, unfortunately, Gray sold out to the ratings.
My hope is the art of skillful and proper interviewing will return now that sports fans have grown more accustom to 'tell-all' sit downs with athletes who have disgraced themselves and their sport (Pete Rose, A-Rod, Lance etc.). Perhaps just landing the exclusive interview the next time around (which we shouldn't have to wait long for) won't be enough to simple juke the ratings any longer…after all, what haven't we seen or heard before during these time wasting publicity stunts?
For starters, hearing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is a refreshing idea.

EAST LANSING - Fifth-year senior Todd Anderson relishes his role as the sledgehammer of the Spartan offense. "That is what I want to do every week," said Anderson, a first-year fullback who has added attitude to the Michigan State ground game in 2011. "When those guys are coming off the edge, I am trying to punish them. I got a couple of good shots in. They were playing hard but I think we (fullbacks) affected them long term."The 6-foot-2, 267-pound former walk-on has dished out plenty of bumps and bruises during the first two games of 2011. Anderson has also been on the field during four of Michigan State's first five rushing touchdowns in 2011. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Snapshots are a type of collectibles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. As its name implies, they are obtained using the Camera. Snapshots exist only in San Fierro, San Andreas, and each appears as a rotating circular camera icon above a particularly interesting scenic spot. Snapshots are similar to Hidden Packages, Horseshoes, and Oysters in that completing all 50 grants the player a significant reward. The reward for capturing all 50 snapshots is 4 weapon spawns becoming available at the Doherty Garage, namely the Micro Uzi, Grenades, Shotgun, and Sniper Rifle, and $100,100.
To successfully capture a snapshot, the snapshot icon must be within the camera viewfinder. Sometimes zooming is required to capture a more distant icon. The point of interest above which the icon sits is not required to be in the viewfinder, simply the icon itself. The photograph can be saved, if desired, by taking the photo using the save mode on the camera, however the snapshot icon will not appear in the photograph unless the snapshot doesn't register due to the icon being too far out. Between the hours of 00:00 and 05:00, snapshots can be spotted without the use of a camera due to a bright yellow glow where the snapshot is located.
There is a glitch involving one of the Foster Valley snapshot icons; it is located on top of a building and is visible if CJ reaches the top of a nearby building (via jetpack or helicopter). It should be visible from a nearby hill as well, but isn't. However, if you stand on the hill immediately to the west of the building, zoom in on the roof and take a picture, it counts as a snapshot, even though the icon isn't visible.
Most of the snapshot icons can be easily photographed once San Fierro is opened, with the exception of one on the Garver Bridge that can't be seen until the bridge opens for crossing. Another snapshot icon is located within the Easter Basin Naval Station, even though accessing the area and getting close enough to view the icon will trigger a 5-star wanted level. Nevertheless, all snapshots can be taken at the beginning of the game without even using aircrafts if you take pictures of the icons from far away. Most will not be visible, but as long if you aim correctly at them you will get the snapshot.

After denials of the Ministry of Health that dominated the media in the past few weeks, finally the doctors went on strike to demand better pay as well as fair working conditions.
From early last month the local media including the Guardian on Sunday reported extensively about the looming doctors' strike, but still as usual, the government through the Ministry of Health, strongly denied the news by simply saying, "They (Minister and Permanent Secretary) were not aware."
The Minister for Health Dr Haji Mponda, and the Permanent Secretary Blandina Nyoni insisted that they were not aware of the doctors' demands. According to them, they were also reading or hearing the so-called doctors' demands through the media.
They claimed that they don't rely on media reports to manage the Ministry's affairs, adding that they have not been contacted officially by the Medical Association of Tanzania (MAT) about the unsolved doctors' demands.
They simply didn't get a clear picture of what was happening and yet they are the Ministry's top executives. Just by failure to know earlier that there was a looming doctors' strike is enough proof that there's a communication breakdown between the Ministry and doctors.
While the Ministry's top executives refused to act on media reports because it's against the government's 'modus operandi', behind the scenes they were dispatching public relations officers to some radio stations to spin out better versions of the same story.
These PROs told the public that there wasn't any strike as reported by the media. They went ahead with a weak defense case accusing local journalists of 'manufacturing' the strike to sell their newspapers.
Just one day after these PROs were hosted by a popular radio station, Clouds FM in which they strongly denied that there was any looming doctors' strike, the truth prevailed and silenced their shameless lies.
Doctors are on strike; patients are suffering and some of them have lost their lives. Finally the Ministry and the entire government are awake, and they are now pretending to sort out the current health crisis caused by the ongoing doctors' strike.
It's appalling to see that we still have these kinds of government officials running the Ministry of Health. They should resign for mishandling the current crisis right from the beginning.
There was enough time to engage doctors to avoid the current crisis, but because of the bossy and egoistic behaviour of some top officials at the Ministry of Health, things were left to fall apart.
These officials behave like a monitor lizard, which according to an African proverb it doesn't listen until it bleeds in its ears. They didn't want to listen until it was bleeding.
Doctors are human beings, but sometimes they have been treated like beasts of burden in terms of payment, living and working conditions. But above their demands, they wanted audience with the Ministry as well as assurance on when their agonies will be ended.
Their agonies are known because it has been a thorny issue for decades now, though the Ministry's top executives pretended to be oblivious of the same.
These doctors are Tanzanians and therefore if they were approached fairly and properly, this country wouldn't have been in the current health crisis.
They have relatives, parents, children and friends in this country, and therefore they would have understood the situation if the Ministry's top executives would have chosen to address their demands on time.
That's why we strongly say that the doctors' strike was mishandled from the very beginning. The doctors' cry was simply ignored at the expense of the lives of hundreds of patients and their families – some of them grieving already.

As an avid reader of comic books, I would often stumble upon an ad for the television show Burn Notice. The ad reminded me of an awful USA Network television show from the 90's called Silk Stalkings, so I never bothered to watch. It wasn't until I was home sick channel surfing did I discover the greatness of Burn Notice. Creator Matt Nix has developed a show that pays homage to some great TV and movies. This show has successfully combined the jack-of-all-trades archetype of MacGyver, the ex-spy vibe of the Bourne movies, the exotic locale of Miami Vice, and the delightful campiness of CHiPs. Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan) has just been blacklisted, or burned, from the spy business and dumped in his hometown of Miami. While investigating into who burned him, he passes the time helping out people in need with his ex-IRA girlfriend Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) and Navy SEAL buddy, Sam (Bruce Campbell). This show is for fans of TV series that like to keep you on the edge, never quite revealing who is behind the sinister plot until the bitter end. After watching all five seasons I understood why the show is advertised in comic books, it is pure, unadulterated escapism.

President Obama slams GOP over shutdown as government employees return to work
The Republican Party was in turmoil Thursday as their battle against Obamacare turned into an effort to control Tea Party conservatives and avoid the threat of another shutdown.
President Obama criticized Republicans for the government shutdown and pushing the U.S. to the edge of default.
WASHINGTON The monuments reopened and federal employees streamed back to work, but President Obama on Thursday was not ready to move on from the crisis that paralyzed Congress and made Americans furious at Washington.
In a scorching lecture, Obama blamed Republicans for the government shutdown and its brush with default a spectacle that he said harmed Americas economy and its reputation.
Nothing has done more damage to Americas credibility in the world, our standing with other countries, Obama said.
Its encouraged our enemies. Its emboldened our competitors. And its depressed our friends who look to us for steady leadership.
With the government reopened, the debt-ceiling raised and their popularity at all-time lows, Republicans were in disarray Thursday.
Congress passed measures ending the shutdown and allowing the U.S. to avoid default late last night.
Bruised and battered, they moved on from fighting Obamacare to fighting each other.
Republican leaders worked to take the threat of another shutdown off the table and to rein in the Tea Party conservatives who triggered the crisis.
There will not be a government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told The Hill.
We have fully now acquainted our new members with what a losing strategy that is, McConnell said, referring to freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and cohorts who championed the GOP threat to shut down the government unless Democrats agreed to gut Obamacare.
One of my favorite old Kentucky sayings is theres no education in the second kick of a mule, McConnell said.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) says he 'will continue to do anything' he can to stop Obamacare.
And senior Senate Republicans, such as John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), blasted the conservative Heritage Foundation, which championed the shutdown.
But despite their defeat, the Tea Party and its allies renewed fund-raising efforts with a promise of future assaults on Obamas health care overhaul and a threat of more election primaries against Republican incumbents who didnt stand with them over the past two weeks.
Soon we must focus on important House and Senate races, conservative darling Sarah Palin told her fans on Facebook.
Lets start with Kentucky which happens to be awfully close to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi . . . Weve only just begun to fight, she added.
It was a not-so-veiled threat to McConnell and other GOP senators up for reelection who agreed to the compromise that ended the shutdown.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has made assurances that the government shutdown will not be repeated.
Cruz also was unbowed. I will continue to do anything I can, to stop the train wreck that is Obamacare, he told ABC News.
Such threats have left a growing number of Republicans calling for their party to repudiate the Texan. Im saying neutralize him, Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.) said.
Inside the Capitol, lawmakers charged with forging a post-shutdown deficit-cutting agreement in the next 60 days met privately.
We believe there is common ground, said Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) chair of the Senate Budget Committee.
Privately, officials in both parties said the prospects for a major breakthrough were dim, given differences over taxes and spending that have proven compromise-proof throughout the current three-year era of divided government.
Obama says the government shutdown 'inflicted unnecessary damage' to the U.S. economy and damaged the country's credibility around the world.
Vice President Biden was at the Environmental Protection Agency to greet returning employees.
I hope this is the end of this, he said, but he acknowledged Theres no guarantees.
That was a reference to the terms of Wednesdays deal, which will fund the government only until Jan 15 and give Treasury the ability to borrow above the $16.7 trillion limit until the middle of February.
At the White House, Obama blended his critique of Republicans with a plea for cooperation.
All of us need to stop focusing on the lobbyists, and the bloggers, and the talking heads on radio and the professional activists who profit from conflict, and focus on what the majority of Americans sent us here to do, he said.
You dont like a particular policy or a particular President? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But dont break it. Dont break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. Thats not being faithful to what this countrys about.

An official says 14 people have been confirmed as injured in a massive gas explosion in an upscale Kansas City shopping district.
Kansas City Manager Troy Schulte says officials don't yet know if anyone was killed in the explosion, which destroyed JJ's restaurant.
Authorities also are still trying to determine the full cause of the blast. Schulte says they do know there was a gas leak followed by an explosion. At this point, he says authorities believe it may have stemmed from an accident involving a utility contractor.
Earlier police spokeswoman Rhonda Flores said it appeared that a car crashed into a gas main near JJ's just after 6 p.m. People have been cleared from the area around the restaurant.

Rapp was also McGoo, an obnoxious, bespectacled anti-Semite in the 50s-set "social problem" drama "School Ties" (1992) and far more appealing as a high school outsider who gets lucky in Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused" (1993).

Maine lawmakers will consider at least two bills to deregulate marijuana this session. A Portland representative has said she'll re-introduce legislation to legalize the recreational use of pot. And now Portland Representative Mark Dion says he plans to introduce a bill to allow doctors to treat patients with medical cannabis however they choose. As Susan Sharon reports, both bills are likely to face strong opposition.
Dr. Jeremy Spiegel of Casco Bay Medical says he's evaluated hundreds of patients who want to be treated with medical marijuana since he opened an office in the Old Port earlier this year. Their conditions run the gamut of those covered under Maine's three-year-old law. Those conditions, about a dozen of them, include Alzhemiers' Disease, Crohn's Disease, glaucoma, seizure disorders - and what Spiegel says he sees the lion's share of patients for: chronic pain.
"Yet they also have other conditions that are not, as yet, listed - insomnia, post traumatic stress disorder. I have patients that say they need it for their anxiety and I tell them, 'I'm sorry but as yet that is not a qualifying condition.' It ought to be, but it isn't yet, and so therefore I cannot certify somebody."
As a trained psychiatrist, Spiegel says his hands are tied. His frustration is shared by Democratic Rep. Mark Dion, a former Cumberland County sheriff-turned-defense attorney. Even as sheriff, Dion supported medical marijuana and was one of the early supporters of Maine's three-year-old law.
While the law includes a process for adding other illnesses and medical conditions to the list, Dion doesn't think it's appropriate for lawmakers and bureaucrats to tell doctors how to practice medicine.
"There's a list of conditions that was formed by the consensus of a committee as to what proper medical practice should be," Dion says. "I'm simply saying that medical decisions belong as a shared experience between the doctor and the patient. We do not provide such lists or a vetting process for any other medical decision that a doctor might undertake in the care of their patient."
Dion says he has no quarrel with continuing to require that medical marijuana patients get a doctor's authorization to use their medicine. Without one, possession of marijuana is unlawful.
Last month two states, Colorado and Washington, legalized the use of recreational marijuana, even though the drug is still outlawed at the federal level. Portland Rep. Diane Russell will introduce a similar bill to legalize pot in Maine. But Dion says Maine should hold off and see how the federal government responds.
"But I think it's going to be difficult for the administration in Washington and their representatives in the drug enforcement community to continue to ignore what seems to be a shifting momentum around how we should define rational drug policy when it comes to marijuana," Dion says.
The head of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says his department will review both bills before taking a formal position. But it's no surprise that Roy McKinney and the Department of Public Safety have opposed similar legislation in the past. McKinney says it's already difficult to enforce the current medical marijuana law.
"You don't have a registry by which at least to vet whether, okay, the person has an exemption pursuant to the law and law enforcement can move on to other complaints that it's receiving about drug offense activity," McKinney says.
Last year a requirement that medical marijauana patients register with the state was dropped. And that's complicated not only the lives of law enforcement called on to investigate possible illegal "grow" operations: Gordon Smith with the Maine Medical Association says it's made it impossible to know how many medical marijuana patients and prescribers are out there.
He says his organization will likely oppose Dion's bill because of the pressure it will bring to bear on physicians. "I would believe that there would be hundreds, if not thousands, of patients who use marijuana recreationally who would be approaching their physicians and wanting them to write for conditions that are not presently on the list."
Smith says the list is already pretty liberal compared to other states. And he thinks the medical society will likely take the position that if every physician in the state is allowed to prescribe marijuana for anxiety, then you might just as well legalize it, period.

Table Talk: Romantic repasts for Valentine's Day
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Guess what tomorrow is.
If you don't know the answer (Valentine's Day) and you have a significant other in your life, this column's for you. It's going to bail out your forgetful self and give you the chance to impress your sweetheart with the appearance of a well-considered and prepared dinner.
And it will cost you much less than dinner out, which you probably would be eating at either 5 or 10:30 p.m. as all the prime reservations times are already taken.
You have your choice of three menus: simple and fresh Shrimp and Parsley Pasta with Bibb Lettuce and Peach Salad with Vanilla Vinaigrette; inexpensive but impressive Pork Tenderloin stuffed with Spinach, Prosciutto, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mozzarella; or elegant Beef Wellington Tarts.
I confess that the shrimp and pasta dish was not originally slated for this column. I planned to make a scallop and chervil pasta dish. I found myself at the grocery store picking up ingredients a scant hour ahead of an appointment to photograph the dish and discovered that the store was out of both scallops and chervil. Without time to make another stop, I improvised.
I'm not sure they ever have fresh chervil, actually, which is an herb in the parsley family with a delicate taste of anise. Licorice isn't my favorite flavor anyway, so I bought Italian flat leaf parsley. Instead of scallops, I purchased shrimp.
The simple combination of tender shrimp, fresh parsley, lemon and goat cheese turned out to be a light and flavorful meal when tossed with pasta. In a nod toward the romantic nature of the meal, I lessened the garlic flavor by smashing the cloves, gently cooking them, and then removing the smashed cloves from the saucepan leaving a hint of the flavor behind.
The slices of Pork Tenderloin stuffed with Spinach, Prosciutto, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mozzarella make a colorful presentation with surprisingly little expense or effort. You might have to enlist the help of your Valentine, however, when tying up the rolled tenderloin. The job requires another set of hands, unless you're particularly dexterous.
The salty prosciutto in the filling married well with mashed sweet potatoes and a green salad tossed with a slightly sweet vinaigrette.
Showy Beef Wellington Tarts are a contemporary take on classic Beef Wellington. Instead of wrapping a tenderloin, duxelles (a finely chopped mushroom and shallots mixture) and foie gras in pastry, this recipe layers the same ingredients on a square of pastry. The crisp, buttery puff pastry forms the foundation for the decadent flavors. I'm not a big fan of foie gras, so I didn't use it when I made the recipe and thought the flavor was still plenty rich.
As is obvious from the accompanying photographs, Valentine's dinners at my house have already been prepared and eaten, so we might go out for dinner. I wonder if we'll have the 5 or 10:30 p.m. seating.

|50049.3 (2373)
Sisko fights to keep the wreckage of a crashed Jem'Hadar fighter.
- "Captain's log: Stardate 50049.3. We're conducting a mineral survey of Torga IV, an uninhabited planet in the Gamma Quadrant believed to contain vast deposits of cormaline. Our mission is to determine the feasibility of establishing a mining operation on the planet's surface."
As the away team conducts their planetary survey, Chief O'Brien and young Crewman Muniz tease one another. They appear to be forming a close working relationship. Captain Sisko determines that, despite being a long way from supply lines, the planet is a good place to mine. He and Lieutenant Commander Dax are discussing the matter when a ship of some kind crashes on the planet's surface. The runabout beams Sisko and the others to the site of the crash, where they discover a Jem'Hadar warship.
The crew find that the warship has landed upside down and enter through a hatch that would normally be used to land troops. Inside, they find numerous corpses, but according to Dax's tricorder, the troops have been dead for hours. O'Brien suspects an inertial dampener failure, which means that when the ship sped up, every bone in the men's bodies was crushed instantly. Although Sisko is excited about the discovery of the ship, he wonders what it was doing so far from Dominion space. Realizing the runabout's tractor beam will be insufficient to tow the ship, he sends for the USS Defiant to tow it back to the Alpha Quadrant.
Aboard Deep Space 9, Odo has arrested Quark and his "co-conspirator," Dr. Bashir. The trio enter Sisko's office, where Major Kira learns that Quark ordered a shipment of Regalian fleaspiders for Bashir without a permit. However, the Ferengi took the opportunity to smuggle illegal Regalian liquid crystals along with the spiders. An impatient Kira announces she is taking the Defiant to the Gamma Quadrant to retrieve Sisko and the others, and she will be back in a week.
Meanwhile, Commander Worf informs Sisko that they have buried the bodies of the warship's crew, 42 Jem'Hadar and one Vorta in all. Suddenly, Ensign Hoya contacts Sisko from the runabout and announces that another warship has just come out of warp; within seconds, the runabout is destroyed killing Hoya, Rooney and Bertram, and Jem'Hadar soldiers beam to the surface. There is a shootout in which another away team member, T'Lor, is killed and Sisko and the others take shelter inside the crashed ship, but Muñiz is shot along the way.
Oddly, the Jem'Hadar do not follow the Starfleet team into the ship. O'Brien dresses Muñiz's wound while they regroup and formulate a plan. The crew explores the ship and find it minimalistic at best. Among other things, there are two headsets – one for a Vorta and another for the Jem'Hadar First – which seem to be the Dominion equivalent of viewscreens. They are interrupted when Kilana, the Vorta in charge of the newly arrived ship, contacts Sisko over the Dominion comm system. She offers to meet Sisko face to face with one guard each.
Sisko agrees to meet Kilana, who is quite amicable in person. However, she does not recognize Sisko's claim to salvage rights for the ship and wants it back. As she and Sisko talk, a lone Jem'Hadar beams into Sisko's ship, intent on stealing something. Meanwhile, Kilana offers to take Sisko and the others back to Federation territory, but Sisko firmly refuses. O'Brien finds the Jem'Hadar and there is a brief struggle before Muñiz manages to shoot the soldier, saving the chief.
With Kilana aboard her ship and Sisko back inside his, O'Brien continues to tend to Muñiz, who suspects he is dying. They realize there is an anticoagulant in his blood, an apparent side-effect of the Jem'Hadar weapon, and Muñiz's wound requires immediate attention. Worf and O'Brien have a difference of opinion over this; while the Klingon believes Muñiz should be told to prepare for death, O'Brien is convinced that Muñiz's only chance is to keep fighting.
Kilana contacts Sisko again and apologizes for her deception, offering to meet him unarmed and alone (a condition to which she does not hold him) as a show of good faith. When they meet again, Kilana acknowledges the obvious: there is something aboard Sisko's ship she wants. However, neither trusts the other and Sisko refuses to let Kilana retrieve it, while Kilana refuses to tell Sisko what it is. She realizes their conversation is going nowhere, so she beams off the surface as her ship begins to bombard the surface. In the meantime, Muñiz has begun to die.
Before long, the crew realizes Kilana is not trying to hit the ship, as the ultritium concussion shells her ship is firing should destroy them in one hit. They continue to search for whatever Kilana wants, while Muñiz's condition continues to deteriorate and he becomes delirious. Tensions continue to mount as the Starfleet group, tired, hungry, and filthy, become increasingly apprehensive. Sisko becomes fed up with the bickering and orders them to pull themselves together. He also orders Muñiz to stay alive.
- "Captain's log, supplemental. The Jem'Hadar barrage has continued on and off for ten hours. Chief O'Brien has restored main power and helm control. If we can bring the ship's engines online, we may be able to lift off and escape from here."
O'Brien does his best to get the ship up and running, but when they attempt to take off from the planet, the power circuits overload and the condition of the ship's systems becomes even worse. Finally, Muñiz dies, causing a deafening silence to wash over the crew. As Dax comforts Sisko, something begins to drip from the ceiling. They look up to realize one of the bulkheads is actually a Founder. However, it is not attacking but dying, no longer able to hold its form and apparently injured from the accident that killed the ship's crew. As it dies, it cries out, loud enough for Kilana and her men to hear.
With the Changeling dead, Kilana beams directly aboard Sisko's ship, alone. She informs him that her soldiers killed themselves for allowing one of their gods to die. It is revealed that both she and Sisko were genuine in their offers (she to let the Starfleet crew go and he to give her whatever was on the ship), but Muñiz and the others died because neither was willing to trust the other. Sisko allows Kilana to take some of the Founder's remains with her as she leaves.
The Defiant arrives and tows the Jem'Hadar ship back to DS9. Starfleet is of course very pleased with the find and awards the crew medals, but Sisko laments the death of Muñiz, Hoya, and the others. Dax reminds him that, while their deaths are certainly tragic, they all knew risks when they joined Starfleet, and that while the captured ship might have cost five people their lives, it could help save thousands more. O'Brien holds his own vigil over Muñiz's casket. Worf enters as he does so and reveals that, in Klingon tradition, O'Brien's activity is called ak'voh, or keeping the dead safe from predators while they make their journey to Sto-vo-kor. He offers to help O'Brien protect Muñiz, to which the chief responds, "I'm sure Quique would have liked that."

Background Information
Story and script
- The character of Kilana was written to be Eris, the female Vorta from the second season finale "The Jem'Hadar", but actress Molly Hagan was unavailable. This was the second time the producers had tried to bring Eris back. They had originally written the role that became Borath in "The Search, Part II" for her, but, again, Hagan was unavailable. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The exterior scenes for this episode were filmed at Soledad Canyon, a gravel pit north of Los Angeles, which had also been used for Cardassia IV in the second season episode "The Homecoming" and for Dozaria in the fourth season episode "Indiscretion". Soledad would also be used for the sixth season episode "Rocks and Shoals". As had happened during the shoot for "The Homecoming" however, temperatures became much hotter than anticipated, reaching as high as 124°F/51°C. According to director Kim Friedman, "We had bottles of water to pour over our heads. I'd call 'Action,' and by the time the take was over and I'd call 'Cut,' our clothes and hair were totally dry. I felt sorry for the actors. The rest of us were wearing shorts and almost nothing, and we couldn't stand it. About five o'clock someone said 'Oh my God, the temperature's gone down a little bit.' It was like ninety-nine or one hundred, and we'd noticed!" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) During the shoot for "Rocks and Shoals", it would be even hotter again.
- Ensign Hoya is the first Benzite female seen on Star Trek, and the first Benzite seen without visible breathing apparatus. Mike Okuda explains the absence of the apparatus by pointing out "there's been some advances in Benzite technology!" (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) The Benzites were introduced in TNG: "Coming of Age".
- Although this was a popular episode amongst fans, the producers were less than thrilled with the final product, and felt that the episode could have been so much more than it was. According to Ira Steven Behr, "the whole point of doing that show was that we wanted to make everyone tense. We wanted to see our people hot, and uncomfortable, but it didn't come off quite as well as we would have wanted. We wanted to do the Alamo thing, thirteen days of constant bombardment gets your nerves on edge, but somehow we weren't doing it. We weren't rocking the boat enough." Similarly, Hans Beimler reflects that "the one thing we shouldn't have done was go outside the ship. I would like to have stayed inside and just kept the female Vorta as a voice, saying 'Come out Captain, you've got to trust me. You've got to trust me.' The pressure, the steam, would have built up a little more on the ship. But in the episode Sisko actually beams out and has a confrontation with the female Vorta, causing the tension to dissipate." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Similarly, the producers didn't feel that bringing back the character of Enrique Muñiz fulfilled what it was supposed to; as Ira Steven Behr explains, "the whole idea was to show that the engineers, the tech guys, have a brotherhood. We wanted to bond O'Brien with this guy and have it mean something. But the scenes didn't play the way they should have. They didn't play like two guys who were really comfortable with each other. It wound up being about O'Brien and a guy who's dying. The audience never came to care enough about Muñiz because they didn't see O'Brien's investment in Muñiz." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Despite his feeling that the tension didn't live up to expectations however, Hans Beimler is extremely proud of one aspect of this episode; the second last scene, between Sisko and Dax, where Sisko reads the list of casualties. According to Beimler, "It's amazing that in all these years of Star Trek no captain had ever sat down and talked about those consequences. In the Star Trek universe, where we blow people up cleanly with phasers, war seems almost antiseptic. But I think it's nice to periodically remind ourselves that the casualties are real people, and that when our characters discuss them, they're talking about people who exist for them. That, to me, was one of the most important moments in that episode, and a great moment for the series." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) This theme, of the real people behind a list of casualties and the loss of life during times of war, would be revisited several times over the rest of the show's run, in episodes like "Nor the Battle to the Strong", "The Siege of AR-558", "What You Leave Behind" and "In the Pale Moonlight".
- The Jem'Hadar attack ship captured here would later reappear in "A Time to Stand" and "Rocks and Shoals", where it is used to enter Cardassian space to destroy a ketracel-white installation.
- The nickname Miles O'Brien uses for Crewman Muñiz is spelled Quique (pronounced KEE-kay), a common Spanish nickname for Enrique.
- The scene when Muñiz teases O'Brien about Ireland having only hills but no mountains seems to be a nod to 1995's "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain", starring Colm Meaney.
- The idea of Klingons keeping vigil over the bodies of the dead seems at odds with prior portrayals, wherein a corpse was considered a worthless shell immediately upon death (TNG: "Heart of Glory", VOY: "Emanations"). However, Worf calls the ak'voh an "old Klingon tradition"; perhaps it is no longer commonly practiced, but Worf was familiar with it due to his studies of ancient Klingon culture.
- Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) does not appear in this episode.

I couldn't find an existing thread about this, and maybe there's one on the API forum but it's way over there, so I am making one for over here...who's going to this Flatstock thingy in March? Who's psyched about it? Who's super upset that they're going? Or that they're not? What bands are playing that I should try to go see but instead will fall asleep at the Super 8 listening to Dude and Other Dude from some emo band named after a song title from my youth learn how trash their motel room?
I am going. Jes is going. My little sister is going. Jes' little brother is going. We're all excited to get out of the (unusually mild) cold and snow.
Unfortunately, we've decided that this guy will not be allowed to come with us:

The notion that freedom is on the wane in America seems to have gained widespread currency these past several years. This is an alarming prospect at any time, but it seems to me particularly so as I ponder the matter on this eve of America's birthday.
On July 4, more than on any other day, we celebrate our shared belief that freedom is not merely desirable but necessary, the granitic foundation which underlies and supports the grand and noble construction that is the United States.
The possibility that the bedrock beneath us might in fact be riddled with cracks after 233 years, which is no great span in the life of a nation, troubles me greatly.
But I've been going over some of the evidence for this theory, and in some cases putting up the testimony and the exhibits and the arguments against my own modest pursuits, and I just can't make a case out of it.
In the past year alone, while I was on public land managed by the same federal government which some people seem to believe is amassing its forces for an offensive against citizens' rights, I've covered enough miles in a four-wheel drive, and drunk enough cans of beer (after parking, of course), and fired enough .22 long rifle rounds, some of them in the vicinity of jackrabbits, to render me incapable of detecting on the breeze the imminent arrival of President Obama's minions.
What I've done, to put it another way, is wallow in America's abundance of freedom rather than bemoan its alleged shortage.
So long as I can go onto public ground and do there pretty much whatever I want to do that involves guns, beer and a rig with low-range and a lot of ground clearance, provided of course that I don't threaten anybody, or run over or shoot a protected species, well, I'm satisfied that our republic has retained most of the nutrients that our forefathers fortified it with.
(Jackrabbits, fortunately, are not protected. Not by the feds, anyway. My shoddy marksmanship, however, affords the rabbits a measure of protection which, given their agility and speed, they don't really need.)
I don't mean to imply that the government never erodes freedom.
I wonder, by way of example, how Obama's climate change bill might affect the economy — and more to the point my minuscule slice of it.
If Obama's legislation results in my laying out more money to keep my home tolerably warm in winter, then I won't be able to spend those dollars the way I want to.
On .22 shells, for instance. Or beer.
This is a minor freedom, I suppose. Yet I feel uneasy about segregating freedoms into the ones I really cherish and those I'm willing to surrender. It's a distasteful practice, akin to being asked to decide which of my children is expendable.
On the other hand, if the store runs out of .22 rounds it's not because Obama spirited them off to a government warehouse.
I have no quarrel with people who watch the government with the jaded eye of a father whose teenage daughter's first date shows up wearing one of those ankle bracelets they lock on you when you're under house arrest.
I think a society is better off whose citizens maintain a healthy distrust of their government and who expect, as the owner of a clever dog does, that it will on occasion poke its nose where it shouldn't.
I applaud such cynicism whether it's directed at a federal government that bans motor vehicles from forest roads or a city that tells people where they have to park their rusted Oldsmobiles.
But I also believe that you get the clearest view of a man's freedom by looking at the man himself, and not the hysterical blatherings posted on some blog.
I understand that Obama's voting record when he was an Illinois state senator is not the sort that gets a person invited to the NRA convention.
Yet I don't see how that proves the president will be coming for my guns as soon as he's towed the SUV out of my driveway.
For one thing, although the Second Amendment makes no mention of FJ Cruisers, I still drive mine whenever I want to.
This proclivity for substituting partisan theory for reality is not, of course, confined to one end of the political spectrum.
For most of George W. Bush's tenure his critics suggested that the president, wielding his secret wiretaps and his well-honed Patriot Act, had hacked his way through pretty much the whole of the Bill of Rights.
I noticed, though, that a lot of people who were convinced they'd ferreted out the president's Gestapo-like tendencies had no trouble getting into the newspapers and on TV.
I can't reconcile that level of publicity — much of which, in the case of network TV, was broadcast on government-controlled airwaves — with the portrait certain pundits have painted of the Bush administration.
In a properly repressive regime, as I understand it, the people who oppose the leaders get a jail cell — or a shallow grave.
In America they get talk shows and plenty of space on the editorial page.
I like that about our country.
I also like that when we want to get away from the rigors of arguing politics — on holidays such as Independence Day, for example — we can drive into the sagebrush or up to the mountains.
And, for those so inclined, we can bring along our guns and our beer.
Or a few sparklers and a six-pack of soda pop.
It's your choice.
Have fun making it.

15 U.S. Code § 2615 - Penalties
§ 2615.
(a) Civil
Any person who violates a provision of section 2614 or 2689 of this title shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $25,000 for each such violation. Each day such a violation continues shall, for purposes of this subsection, constitute a separate violation of section 2614 or 2689 of this title.
A civil penalty for a violation of section section 2614 or 2689 of this title shall be assessed by the Administrator by an order made on the record after opportunity (provided in accordance with this subparagraph) for a hearing in accordance with section 554 of title 5. Before issuing such an order, the Administrator shall give written notice to the person to be assessed a civil penalty under such order of the Administrator's proposal to issue such order and provide such person an opportunity to request, within 15 days of the date the notice is received by such person, such a hearing on the order.
In determining the amount of a civil penalty, the Administrator shall take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation or violations and, with respect to the violator, ability to pay, effect on ability to continue to do business, any history of prior such violations, the degree of culpability, and such other matters as justice may require.
The Administrator may compromise, modify, or remit, with or without conditions, any civil penalty which may be imposed under this subsection. The amount of such penalty, when finally determined, or the amount agreed upon in compromise, may be deducted from any sums owing by the United States to the person charged.
Any person who requested in accordance with paragraph (2)(A) a hearing respecting the assessment of a civil penalty and who is aggrieved by an order assessing a civil penalty may file a petition for judicial review of such order with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit or for any other circuit in which such person resides or transacts business. Such a petition may only be filed within the 30-day period beginning on the date the order making such assessment was issued.
(4) If any person fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty—
after the order making the assessment has become a final order and if such person does not file a petition for judicial review of the order in accordance with paragraph (3), or
after a court in an action brought under paragraph (3) has entered a final judgment in favor of the Administrator,
the Attorney General shall recover the amount assessed (plus interest at currently prevailing rates from the date of the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in paragraph (3) or the date of such final judgment, as the case may be) in an action brought in any appropriate district court of the United States. In such an action, the validity, amount, and appropriateness of such penalty shall not be subject to review.
(b) Criminal
Any person who knowingly or willfully violates any provision of section 2614 or 2689 of this title, shall, in addition to or in lieu of any civil penalty which may be imposed under subsection (a) of this section for such violation, be subject, upon conviction, to a fine of not more than $25,000 for each day of violation, or to imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.
(Pub. L. 94–469, title I, § 16, Oct. 11, 1976, 90 Stat. 2037; renumbered title I, Pub. L. 99–519, § 3(c)(1), Oct. 22, 1986, 100 Stat. 2989; amended Pub. L. 102–550, title X, § 1021(b)(5), Oct. 28, 1992, 106 Stat. 3923.)
1992—Subsecs. (a)(1), (2)(A), (b). Pub. L. 102–550 substituted "section 2614 or 2689 of this title" for "section 2614 of this title" wherever appearing.
