The Eternal Beach-Body Plan
Phase II - Week 7: Workout VII
Exercise IX: One-Legged Lunge
Sets: 2 Reps: 12 Rest: 60 Seconds
Stand a few feet in front of a bench, bend your right knee, and rest the top of your right foot on the bench [1]. Keeping your torso upright, bend your left knee and lower your body until your right knee touches the floor (but do not rest it on the floor) [2]. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That's one rep. Perform 12 reps and then switch legs. When you can perform three sets of 12 reps, add dumbbells to the exercise.
The Eternal Beach-Body Plan: Phase II was shot at Gold's Gym, Manhattan—Wall Street

Over several posts, I have responded to various Protestant objections to praying to saints. "How can a mere man respond to multiple prayers at the same time?" "Prayer to saints is necromancy!" Or, perhaps the most famous, "If Jesus Christ is revealed in I Tim. 2:5 to be the...

A surface reading of I Timothy 2:5 would seem to eliminate the idea of Christians "mediating" graces to one another: "There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ." Protestants will argue, "If Jesus is our one mediator, then Christ alone mediates grace. In saying anyone else can, Catholics are usurping and thereby denying Christ's singular role as mediator. That's blasphemy!"
Much to the surprise of many...

Kansas City Royals (2-2) vs. Philadelphia Phillies (1-3)
Luis Mendoza vs. John Lannan
Time: 7:05 PM, Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Sunny/Wind, 48
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Yesterday's performance from the bullpen was embarrassing. The Phillies will try to rebound against the Royals tonight.
John Lannan will be making his Phillies debut. Lannan is 2-5 with a 6.49 career ERA at Citizens Bank Park.
Mendoza is a sinker ball pitcher, so expect a lot of ground balls from the Phillies' offense.

Weak, post the line ups and give us a bit!
Weak, post the line ups and give us a bit more!
It's possible, perhaps even likely, that Manuel hadn't announced the lineups before this had to be posted. Give Amanda a break.
1. Ben Revere (L) CF
2. Jimmy Rollins (S) SS
3. Chase Utley (L) 2B
4. Ryan Howard (L) 1B
5. Michael Young (R) 3B
6. Domonic Brown (L) LF
7. John Mayberry (R) RF
8. Humberto Quintero (R) C
9. John Lannan (L) P
Love the way McCarthy reads the copy saying Mickey D's will give a C note to whatever the lady's name was if the Phils smack a homer in the designated inning.
100 for a single would seem more economically commensurate with the way the last what, 7 innings now? have gone.
And still another scoreless frame in da books.
This too might pass.
well, let's see….3 Royals who have pitched no hitters.
I'd put my chances of getting this before the Phils score at zero.
But, that said, who don't know Bret Saberhagen.
I'd say after that at bat that we now have a new definition of the Mendoza line. It's now shorter tan Freddie Patek.
Wonder if Dennis Leonard ever twirled a no-no.
No, well, not as bad a shift, and RyHo still hits smack dab into it.
Don't it figger.
See if that sparks something. Franly, this game to this point is evoking mass lethargy, and unfortunately, Jimmy flies out on the first pitch.
Maybe lethargy was too kind.
Revere at first, 2 outs, and the result is a first pitch flyout.
Trend of the times.
Lannan is definitely up in the zone this inning. But I suspect he's got a 2nd wind before calling it a night.
A night at the plate to forget for Young Mike. Even with a base hit.
Ken, the offense is tough to watch tonight. Like slogging through a bog filled with taffy.
tough? what is this, understatement night at the old ballpark?
Brutal squared.
I personally feel a hangover, letdown, whatever is the right word from yesterday, and I'm not exaggerating my importance in the equation, but I wonder iof the ballclub feels it. Plus, Mendoza has pitched better than I expected.
Lannan's done. 1st pitch double by Francouer tells you all you need to know after last year's up inning.
love Tejada in this matchup
This team stinks.
Course lethargy can turn on a dime, and the crowd could wake somebody up, so match that against the Royals pen, and there's your sense for the rest of the game.
I'm about hope tonight. The feeling's not there. As always, we'll see.
That AL Central is modestly underrated. Juggernaut, weak sister, and 3 pretty decent ballclubs. They should have some fun competing this summer. I have a hard time seeing the Royals not being competitive this year. Not sure how to quite define competitive, but they've been fun to watch after they got untracked yesterday. .
Up, but good movement, and Butler still s,macks a singleoff Adams. That's a good matchup, terrific pitcher V terrific hitter.
Time for another in the never ending series of stranger things have happened, I just can't name them.
Two Phillie hits as we go B8, and the good guys trail by 2 massive digits.
Let's play let's pretend. Say you're a beat reporter covering this game. You know the drill. Get your game story down, and take a chance on no turnaround late dramatics that kills your hard work. Take a chance.
Two hit in the last 14 innings.
And as they say in the trade., -30-/
Paraphrasing Horace Greely, "Go to the circular file, young man, go to the circular file.
Gotta love it.
Less than 40K tonight at the old ballpark.
And those unappreciative fools that don't be appreciating the 10 fold payroll increase over the last 10 years are screaming for a payroll to crack the lux tax.
Business for Dummies.
…and Bastardo walks the lead-off hitter…(sigh). Hoping for a ninth inning 2008 type rally. (Feigns a smile).
Let's give our beloved Phillies offense a prescription for viagra. They just are NOT packing potent wood.
Miracle time.
And do I mean miracle.
Gonzalez, Callsion and Allen comin' up, Phils trail by 2.
Get after it now.
Every single time the Phils walk a leadoff man, I have a heart attack, and the pother team hiots a 5 run homer.
Watch the usual opposite happen here.
Although at 2-0, maybe?
I am so happy The Man is healthy. Awesome at-bat Chase!
Here we go, Ken, Howard just walked. The fate they may be changing…
on 3, HOOOOOO-TEN
If we can't atleast tie this game up with the bags loaded& no outs, it will be a long season.
Looking good Brownie, Jesus C.
What a time for a poor at bat. That is really a shame for Brown.
Berry man, nice look
Well, I think the right guy is at the plate for the situation.
Doesn't mean he'll do it here, but…
Had em all the way.
Wow guess it won't be a long season.
Frandsen is the man!!!! Awesome! Awesome! Guy has continued to hit well and play hard since last year and through spring training. Way to win it Phils!!!

good luck!
let us know how it goes
Hey guys
I am trying out for my JV Baseball team at my school and am pretty nervous about it. I made the first cut and the team was narrowed down to 35 players. The coach is only taking 20 and the second cut should be either tommorow or Thursday. Just want you guys to wish me good luck but I am pretty confident in my self.
"One Team, One New York"
good luck!
let us know how it goes
best of luck brian, keep us updated
i wish i was good at baseball, but whenever I pitch, i dont have any control at all.. good thing im better at the plate, got those big muscles ya know.. jk
I didn't make the team. He said that I was going to become a very good ballplayer and that he wants me to join the practice squad. It's like you practice with the team but your not on the roster and you don't play in the games.
"One Team, One New York"
thats good, if your on the practice aquad for the first year, you get to know the team, coach and you basically make the team next year.. anyway sorry for not making it, and best of luck in the future
ThanksOriginally Posted by Peach_NYK_21
But I'm not gonna do that. I meant to edit that post and put me rolling my eyes but...
I don't want to stay after school and field a couple of groundballs and not be allowed to play in the games.
I still play for my town though.
"One Team, One New York"
i cant believe you would pass that chance up.. if you had done that you would have been in the coaches good books, and plus what else are you going to do after school? its good work out, it can only make you better
Not really, I already have travel practice like everyday at night and I would be only like a backup if they needed to fill a spot in Infield practice and I could do infield practice in my front yard. Don't worry, I am already good with the coach. He knows my name and everything. I am not worried about that.
And next year I think I could even start. The really good kid is moving up to Varsity next year and if I make it I (in my opinion) would be the best person at my position.
"One Team, One New York"
well you do whatever you want to do, i was just saying if it were me i would have gone in a different direction... but good luck with everything you decide to do,,

December 12, 2012 —
TOWN OF MINISINK, NY — As Millennium Pipeline Company moves forward with plans to build a new compressor station in Hancock, the one currently under construction in Minisink, about 65 miles down the pipeline, is soon to become the subject of a lawsuit filed in the U.S Court of Appeals, brought by the community group Stop The Minisink Compression Station (StopMCS).
After several months of delay, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) denied the rehearing request that was made by StopMCS. With this final order in place, StopMCS is free now to file a lawsuit in federal court.
On December 10, the group issued a press release saying they would move forward with the legal action. The release included comment from the two FERC commissioners who disagree with the three who denied the rehearing.
FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff and commissioner Cheryl A. LaFleur opposed the project, saying a site called the Wagoner Alternative was a better location for a compressor station, which is also the position supported by StopMCS.
The dissenting commissioners issued a statement on December 7 that said, "We believe the Wagoner Alternative would create significantly fewer and less enduring environmental impacts and is therefore and environmentally preferable alternative.
Although the majority states that neither the National Environmental Policy Act, nor commission policy and precedent requires the commission to deny authorization of an environmentally acceptable project in the face of an environmentally preferable alternative, given the facts presented in this case, we believe the commission should have exercised its discretion to deny Millennium's application."
The Wagoner Alternative would require the replacement of a 7.4-mile segment of the pipeline, called the Neversink Segment, which is currently a 24-inch pipe that would need to be upgraded to a 30-inch pipe. In the order denying the request for a rehearing, the three other commissioners, Philip Moeller, John R. Norris and Tony Clark, said they believed, "The greater negative environmental and landowner impacts associated with replacing the Neversink Segment (such as the need to clear 47.61 acres of trees, the use of approximately 22 acres of cleared agricultural land for construction, impacting five special-status species, and directly impacting 58 properties with residences) outweighed the Wagoner Alternative's advantages."
On another issue, opponents of the project have charged that Millennium had been improperly allowed to apply "segmentation" to the environmental review of the project, which should have been considered in connection with a newly proposed compressor station in Hancock and the eventual replacement of the Neversink Segment, because all three are connected.
The majority wrote that the projects are separate because each element could proceed independently of the others. Further, in the case of the Neversink Segment, Millennium had not proposed to replace it, "so there is no way to consider that purely speculative action as connected to the Minisink Project."
Spokespeople for StopMCS, however, have said in the past that the company's future plans already include the replacement of the Neversink Segment.

On April 16, 2007, the world learned the name of Ryan Clark for one heroic, selfless act on the campus of Virginia Tech. The 2002 Lakeside High School graduate was a campus leader and volunteered for many organizations.
He sorted items at Golden Harvest Food Bank, served food to the homeless at the Master's Table, tutored children at Communities in Schools of Augusta/Richmond County, volunteered during Thanksgiving 2004 to help clean up after Hurricane Katrina, and served as a counselor at a camp for youth with special needs.
To honor all the selfless acts that were part of Ryan's character, Hands On Columbia County has created the Ryan Clark Scholarship and Community Service Award. The intent of this award is to honor Ryan Clark for his contribution to the community by promoting volunteerism among young people and continuing his legacy of service. Youth ages 14 to 19 enrolled in Richmond or Columbia schools are eligible to apply. Each youth must be nominated by an adult who has worked with them in their volunteer activity.
Ryan Clark Scholarship Application Form Download
JOIN IN THE FUN AT ZUMBAFEST in March every year to help raise funds for the Ryan Clark Scholarship. The event has grown so much that it has been moved to the HEAL Complex at Paine College to accommodate the hundreds of supporters who want to be a part of an event that honors one of our own and encourages young people to get involved in their community. Tickets are $10 now, but will be $15 at the door.

Marabou stork
|Marabou stork
|In the Mikumi National Park, Tanzania
|Scientific classification
|L. crumenifer
|Binomial name
|Leptoptilos crumenifer
(Lesson, 1831)
Leptoptilos crumeniferus
The marabou stork (Leptoptilos crumenifer) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It breeds in Africa south of the Sahara, in both wet and arid habitats, often near human habitation, especially landfill sites. It is sometimes called the "undertaker bird" due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of "hair".
The name marabou is thought to be derived from the Arabic word murābit meaning quiet or hermit-like.[2]
The marabou stork is a massive bird: large specimens are thought to reach a height of 152 cm (60 in) and a weight of 9 kg (20 lb).[3][4] A wingspan of 3.7 m (12 ft) was accepted by Fisher and Peterson, who ranked the species as having the largest wing-spread of any living bird. Even higher measurements of up to 4.06 m (13.3 ft) have been reported, although no measurement over 3.20 m (10.5 ft) has been verified. It is often credited with the largest spread of any landbird, to rival the Andean condor; more typically, however, these storks measure 225–287 cm (7–9 ft) across the wings, which is about a foot less than the average Andean condor wingspan and nearly two feet less than the average of the largest albatrosses and pelicans. Typical weight is 4.5–8 kg (9.9–17.6 lb), unusually as low as 4 kg (8.8 lb), and length (from bill to tail) is 120 to 130 cm (47 to 51 in). Females are smaller than males. Bill length can range from 26.4 to 35 cm (10.4 to 13.8 in).[5][6][7] Unlike most storks, the three Leptoptilos species fly with the neck retracted like a heron.
The marabou is unmistakable due to its size, bare head and neck, black back, and white underparts. It has a huge bill, a pink gular sac at its throat (crumenifer(us) means "carrier of a pouch for money at the neck"), a neck ruff, and black legs and wings. The sexes are alike, but the young bird is browner and has a smaller bill. Full maturity is not reached for up to four years.
Like most storks, the marabou is gregarious and a colonial breeder. In the African dry season (when food is more readily available as the pools shrink) it builds a tree nest in which two or three eggs are laid. It is known to be quite ill-tempered.
It also resembles other storks in that it is not very vocal, but indulges in bill-rattling courtship displays. The throat sac is also used to make various noises at that time.
A number of endoparasites have been identified in wild marabous including Cheilospirura, Echinura and Acuaria nematodes, Amoebotaenia sphenoides (Cestoda) and Dicrocoelium hospes (Trematoda).[8]
Feeding behavior[edit]
The marabou stork is a frequent scavenger, and the naked head and neck are adaptations to this livelihood, as it is with the vultures with which the stork often feeds. In both cases, a feathered head would become rapidly clotted with blood and other substances when the bird's head was inside a large corpse, and the bare head is easier to keep clean.
This large and powerful bird eats mainly carrion, scraps and faeces but will opportunistically eat almost any animal matter it can swallow. It occasionally eats other birds including quelea nestlings, pigeons, doves, pelican and cormorant chicks, and even flamingos. During the breeding season, adults scale back on carrion and take mostly small, live prey since nestlings need this kind of food to survive. Common prey at this time may consist of fish, frogs, insects, eggs, small mammals and reptiles such as crocodile hatchlings and eggs.[5] Though known to eat putrid and seemingly inedible foods, these storks may sometimes wash food in water to remove soil.[9] When feeding on carrion, marabou frequently follow vultures, which are better equipped with hooked bills for tearing through carrion meat and may wait for the vultures to cast aside a piece, steal a piece of meat directly from the vulture or wait until the vultures are done.[5] As with vultures, marabou storks perform an important natural function by cleaning areas via their ingestion of carrion and waste. Increasingly, marabous have become dependent on human garbage and hundreds of the huge birds can be found around African dumps or waiting for a hand out in urban areas. Marabous eating human garbage have been seen to devour virtually anything that they can swallow, including shoes and pieces of metal. Marabous conditioned to eating from human sources have been known to lash out when refused food.[5]
Human uses[edit]
Marabou down is frequently used in the trimming of various items of clothing and hats, as well as fishing lures.[10] Turkey down and similar feathers have been used as a substitute for making 'marabou' trimming.[11]

The United States, the European Union and the U.N. have imposed tough economic sanctions against Iran, blocking access to the international banking system and curbing sales of Iranian crude oil as a way to persuade Tehran to abandon its nuclear program.
As a result, Iran's currency, the rial, is in a constant state of flux, but mostly on a downward trajectory. These days, it seems to fall in value against the dollar on an hourly basis. On Tuesday the currency hit an all-time low against the U.S. dollar, trading at 26,500 to the U.S. dollar on the open market, according to Persian-language currency tracking website Mazanex.
"Our money is becoming more and more worthless every day," said Sarvenas Sadi, an elderly woman doing her daily shopping in Tehran earlier this week.
She picked up a handful of limes and exclaimed, "These were 100 percent cheaper last year!"
Asked whether she ever thought she would see the currency devalue so much, she replied, "Never! I remember before the [1979] revolution $1 was worth 70 rial, now it's worth 26,000! Who would have ever have thought!"
Iranians feel the pain of sanctions: 'Everything has doubled in price'
Did she think things would ever balance out and the price of goods would come down to what they were before. "Unfortunately I don't think so. The thing with Iran is that once the price of something goes up, it never comes down again."
So what's the solution? "Eat less limes," she jokingly replied.

Manufacturing hit hard
The financial situation is affecting people from all classes. Thousands of workers have been laid off and have not been paid back wages because companies have simply run out of money. Majid, a 32-year-old mechanic who used to work for a large car company was recently laid off and is owed six months' salary.
"They are laying off people left, right and center. I doubt there will be a company left by the New Year," he said, giving just his first name because of the sensitivity of the issue in Iran. Persian New Year will be on March 21, 2013.
The car industry, one of the biggest manufacturing sectors in Iran and a massive employer, has been affected dramatically; Iranian media have reported a 30 to 50 percent drop in car and component production in the past six months. Iran was the 13th-largest auto maker in the world in 2011, producing 1.6 million vehicles.
The Iran Khodro Company, the country's leading vehicle manufacturer, had become the largest vehicle manufacturer in the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa. The company won the annual national prize for export activities in 2006 and 2007 with Russia, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Egypt, Algeria and Bulgaria among their key consumers.
But higher prices, due to the soaring costs of components as a result of the sanctions, have caused a drop in demand.
Israel's Netanyahu: Draw 'clear red line' to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons
For instance, France's Peugeot Citroen halted shipments of vehicle kits for assembly in Iran earlier this year, saying international sanctions barring transactions with the country's banking system made it difficult to obtain sales financing.
Sanctions have taken a toll on the Iranian economy. The government is reluctant to admit it. Inflation is high. The number of young unemployed is a growing concern. NBC's Ali Arouzi reports.
Majid, the mechanic, said he is looking for work elsewhere but it is proving very difficult. "There are not many jobs going and it is getting me more and more depressed."
Oil sales to travel - down
The oil sector has been hit hard too. The Iranian Labor News Agency reported that a letter on behalf of 20,000 oil workers from across the country was sent to Labor Minister Abdolreza Sheikholeslami complaining that they had not been paid in months. The letter demanded an increase to the worker's salaries of $120 to $285 a month, adding that at the current rate they were "way below the poverty line."
Mohammad Reza Bahonar, a prominent Iranian member of parliament, said oil exports in June-July had dropped to "around 800,000 barrels per day," according to a report by ISNA news agency. That's a low not seen in more than two decades, and less than half the 2.3 million barrels per day exported just a year ago.
But Minister of Petroleum Rostam Qasemi was quoted by ISNA saying that overall oil production this year "will be the same as last year."
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a firm deadline for Iran to halt its nuclear program, using a simple drawing to warn the UN that Iran will soon reach the point of no return in its development of nuclear weapons. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
The strangling of the economy isn't just affecting blue-collar workers.
Middle-class Iranians had become accustomed to foreign travel – to Dubai, a playground for Iranians only an hour and half away, Turkey, one of only a few countries that does not require visa's for Iranians, and Thailand. But the cost of travel to any of these destinations is prohibitive to many.
More Iran coverage from NBC News
Maryam, a travel agent in Tehran who also only gave her first name, estimated that the number of travelers has been halved in a year. "The price of tickets and organized tours increased almost a hundred fold. They say that this will boost domestic holidays, but I think that is even too expensive for most people."
This was evident to me last month flying back to Tehran from London via Dubai. Usually the flight from Dubai to Tehran is jammed, but not this time. Business and first class were full with the super-rich of Iran, but 70 percent of the plane which makes up the economy class was almost empty.
As the American mission in Afghanistan winds down, dangers still abound for U.S. troops – the most recent incident involved a Taliban gunman who fired on a U.S. Marine outpost in Afghanistan's Helmand Province. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Expected to get worse
Mehdi is a young entrepreneur who imports computers and accessories who also spoke on the condition of anonymity. He said people are just not buying in Iran right now. His biggest wish was that the value of the rial would just stay fixed against dollar – even if it was at an unfavorable rate – just so consumers would know how much things would cost in a weeks' time, a day or even in the next few hours.
While the sanctions have certainly taken a major bite out of the economy and are hurting people from all walks of life – it does not seem to be making the government authorities buckle. If anything it seems to have stiffened the government's resolve and things are set to become even more difficult in the not too distant future.
Britain, France and Germany are urging their European Union partners "to further step up the pressure" on Iran. Further sanctions targeting the Islamic Republic's energy, finance, trade and transportation sectors are expected to be formally adopted on Oct. 15.
At schools, in shops, and on the streets of big cities and small towns, daily life plays out in Iran.

This is an excellent gothic metal or symphonic metal album!! The growl and clean vocals are perfect and the guitars riffs give some much power with the symphonic parts. Great music from a very good band. Everyone that like gothic metal must listen this album!!

I don't get it? Why do a lot of people criticize Simone's vocals on this album? I think her vocals aren't so bad on this album. It's just an opinion, I guess...

Clinch Float Trip
I recently bought an Old Town canoe with a 3 hp moter and am planning to float the Clinch this spring. I have fished the Clinch for years but feel like I missing possibly the best part of the river since I mostly fish upstream of Millers Island. I hope to get past the Saturday crowds by floating into some good shoals and fish until the water rises and float to Clinton.
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding floating the Clinch in a canoe. Where is the best place to launch Millers Island or Peach Grove?
I will try to make this float during a pulsing schedule so I will be able to wade during minimal flows if the current is not to strong. Any advice would be apprecated.
Re: Clinch Float Trip
Hey man,
First off, and I'm sure you know already, but always wear a PFD.
The PO to Clinton float is very long on a low water pusling schedule. Lot's of shallow water, several good shoals, one nasty shoal, then the rocky final mile. Running the engine could help but your going to have to spend a lot of time running the river before you find lines that will allow you to run it without tearing the prop off. Much easier to do on a solid one turbine flow, but still plenty of places to rip off a prop. I'd say the first few times you try this float you'll be in the water over ten hours, especially if your getting out to wade some shoals.
From the PO boatramp, you can put in and motor downstream to the first set of shoals and get back just fine, or you can motor upstream about a mile or so with care.
The millers to PO float is much mre doable in length for low water. There's a few places you could use your motor but for the most part I'd save it for the area around the interstate if it's windy. Quite a bit of good wadable water, but also a lot of deep water. And you probably already know from Massengill upstream. Watch out for the upper end and the lower end of MI because the riffles get pretty rough with no flow and dragging your boat will proabably be the norm there unless you time a pulse as it's falling.
Now the canoe with a motor would probably kick some major butt up in the weir pool! You can paddle a lot of it until you learn the lay and then that little motor would proabably be perfect.
Oh....BTW. The Clinch seems to fish pretty well with one turbine rolling, streamers and deep nymph rigs. Two turbines is much tougher with sink lines and streamers, but pretty dangerous out of a canoe.
Goo Goo Ga Choob!

Re: Clinch Float Trip
I've floated the Clinch in paddle powered canoes with the water off and the other poster is right... it is a looong day from the peach orchard to Clinton Bridge, but it can be rewarding. *There are several calm stretches, however, that the motor will help you with, especially if the wind is blowing upstream (it always is). *Once the water comes up, you can move along at a pretty brisk clip, but you are at the mercy of the schedulers at TVA.
With one generator running, a small aluminum boat can be used, but you may have to lift the engine in spots and wading spots are pretty rare as I recall. *With two running, well, you need the first 5 horsepower just to match the current. *
I'm sure you know, but in Tennessee, ANY powered boat (electric or gas, regardless of size) must be registered. *Your post was a couple of months ago, but if you haven't, make sure you have the boat registered before the TWRA shows up in numbers as the traffic picks up.

|2947.3 (2267)
Kirk is accused of criminal negligence causing the death of one of his subordinates, Lt. Commander Benjamin Finney, and is put on trial for his murder.
Summary Edit
- "Captain's Log, stardate 2947.3. We have been through a severe ion storm. One crewman is dead. The ship's damage is considerable. I have ordered a nonscheduled layover on Starbase 11 for repairs. A full report of damages was made to the commanding officer of Starbase 11, Commodore Stone."
In Commodore Stone's office on the surface based facility of Starbase 11, Captain Kirk is reading over his sworn testimony as the commodore looks over a wall display, showing the repair status of several starships. Commodore Stone calls for maintenance section 18, which is working on the USS Intrepid, to reschedule and work on the Enterprise, which is priority one.
Captain Kirk says that Records Officer Benjamin Finney was in the ion pod during the ion storm. He went to red alert and warned him to get out of the pod. But he was too late, and they had to eject it, killing him.
Kirk calls the Enterprise, and Uhura tells him Spock should have beamed down already with the computer records confirming his testimony. Spock beams down, unsure of the information on the records, but before he can say anything, Jame Finney walks in accusing Captain Kirk of the murder of her father, Benjamin Finney.
Spock escorts her out, and Commodore Stone asks Kirk if he's sure he jettisoned the pod after calling red alert, which he confirms. But the computer records say he jettisoned it before calling red alert, and thereby placing the blame of Finney's death on him. Commodore Stone restricts him to the base, and opens an official inquiry.
Act One Edit
- "Captain's log, stardate 2948.5. Starship Enterprise remains in orbit around Starbase 11. Full repair is in progress. I have been ordered to stand by on Starbase 11 until the inquiry into the death of Lieutenant Commander Finney can be conducted. I'm confident of the outcome."
Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy walk into the M-11 Starbase Club on Starbase 11, and meet up with several members of Kirk's graduating class, including Corrigan and Teller. Several of them, including Timothy, claim to be concerned about how long they are staying, but Kirk realizes they believe that he was responsible for Finney's (who was also a member of the same graduating class) death.
Just after Captain Kirk leaves, Areel Shaw enters. Dr. McCoy quickly introduces himself, and they go to have drinks.
In Commodore Stone's office, the inquiry to decide if a general court martial should be convened against Captain Kirk begins. Kirk starts by describing his relationship with Finney, including the fact that he taught at Starfleet Academy when Kirk was a midshipman, and that his daughter was named after him.
But a number of years later, while they both served on the USS Republic, Finney left a circuit open to the atomic matter piles that should have been closed, another five minutes and he could have blown up the ship. Kirk closed the switch, and logged the incident, and Finney drew a reprimand, and was sent to the bottom of the promotion list. Finney always blamed Kirk for his never getting promoted to captain of his own ship.
Discussing the ion storm, Kirk claims he sent Finney into the ion pod just before entering the storm. At the leading edge, he checked in as Captain Kirk signaled yellow alert. Due to pressure, force 7 variant stress, Captain Kirk signaled red alert. This gave Finney the warning to get out of the pod, before it had to be ejected. Commodore Stone reminds him that the logs show he ejected the pod before signaling red alert, a fact that Kirk can't explain.
Commodore Stone stops the recording, and suggests that perhaps stress and time have worn him down offering him a ground assignment if he'll admit responsibility. Insulted by the idea of effectively covering up the incident, Captain Kirk argues that he knew what happened, and the transcripts are lying. Commodore Stone decides that a General Court Martial must be drawn, to which Kirk, knowing the truth would clear him, angrily demands such a hearing.
Act Two Edit
- "Captain's log, stardate 2948.9. The officers who will comprise my court martial board are proceeding to Starbase 11. Meanwhile, repairs on the Enterprise are almost complete."
Captain Kirk meets with his old friend, Areel Shaw, who he hasn't seen in over four years. She warns him that he's taking the case very lightly, which he attributes to "the confidence of an innocent man". She says that the prosecution will argue "Kirk vs. Computer", on which he'd lose.
He asks her to be his attorney, but she's busy with another case. She recommends Samuel T. Cogley, Attorney at Law. He asks her how she knows so much about the case, and what the prosecution is going to do. She reveals that she is the prosecution, and she's going to try her hardest to see that he is broken out of the service in disgrace.
In James Kirk's temporary quarters on Starbase 11, Samuel T. Cogley has set up shop with a number of old-style "books". Kirk is just about to pour some Saurian brandy, when he notices he has let himself in. Cogley argues that books are where you can experience the law, not in a synthesized computer.
As Captain Kirk's court martial begins, Commodore Stone has assembled a board to oversee the proceedings; Starfleet Command representative Lindstrom, and starship Captains Krasnovsky and Chandra. Commodore Stone, as president of the proceedings, asks if Kirk has any objections to any member of the court, and he doesn't. After the computer lists the charges against him, Captain Kirk pleads not guilty.
Lieutenant Shaw calls Spock to the stand. After the computer reads off his service file, Shaw asks Commander Spock how much he knows about computers, to which he responds that he knew all about them.
She then claims that Kirk was responding to an emergency that didn't yet exist, and thereby killing Finney. Spock argues that Shaw's theory is impossible, as Kirk could not have done such a thing.
Cogley has no questions, and Spock steps down.
Lieutenant Shaw then calls the personnel officer of the Enterprise to the stand. The personnel officer confirms that when Captain Kirk was an ensign on the Republic with Finney, it was noted in Finney's record that he failed to close a circuit, which cost him a promotion. Cogley has no questions at this time, either.
Lieutenant Shaw then calls ship's surgeon Dr. Leonard McCoy to the stand. She confirms that he is an expert in space psychology and the effects that long term space travel has on the mind. She then asks McCoy if it was possible, that if Finney hated Kirk, Kirk then reciprocated by hating Finney. Again, Cogley has no questions, and Dr. McCoy steps down.
After an expression of puzzlement by Commodore Stone at Cogley's unwillingness to cross-examine, Cogley then calls Captain James T. Kirk to the stand. After the computer lists off a number of his awards, Cogley asks Kirk if there was indeed a red alert when the pod was jettisoned, despite what the computers said.
Kirk states that there was, and that he would do it again, because he would do anything for the safety of his ship. Cogley then gives the witness to Lieutenant Shaw.
Lieutenant Shaw then plays the video playback, from the Bridge of the Enterprise, on Stardate 2945.7. The footage shows Lieutenant Commander Finney being posted to the pod, and the Enterprise going to yellow alert after encountering the ion storm.
Shaw then magnifies a panel on the side of Kirk's command chair. The video shows that Kirk did in fact launch the pod, before signaling red alert. The captain is puzzled, claiming "that's not the way it happened."
Act Three Edit
- "Captain's log, stardate 2949.9. The evidence presented by the visual playback to my general court-martial was damning. I suspect even my attorney has begun to doubt me."
Cogley suggests to Kirk that maybe he did have a lapse in memory, and that they can still change their plea. But Kirk, unsure of his own decision, decides that he'll stick to what he remembers. Spock contacts Starbase 11 from the Enterprise, saying that he ran a megalyte survey on the computer, but the results show nothing.
Kirk suggests that maybe Spock will be able to defeat his next captain at chess, and closes the channel. To this, Spock says "chess..." and leaves the bridge.
In the captain's temporary quarters, Jame Finney enters, asking Cogley to make Kirk change his plea, and take a ground assignment. Jame had read through old letters to her and her mother, in which Benjamin Finney talked about how close he was to his friend, James Kirk. Kirk leaves to change into his dress uniform, while Cogley formulates an idea.
Back on the Enterprise, Spock is playing a game of 3-D chess with the computer in the briefing room. Dr. McCoy walks in, astonished that he could be engaging in recreation at a time like this. When Spock quite casually confirms that, indeed, he is simply enjoying a relaxing game of chess, McCoy calls the Vulcan the most cold-blooded man he has ever known and storms out.
Before he can get to the door, however, Spock explains that he's just won his fourth consecutive game, and when the doctor stops in his tracks and insists that such a feat is impossible, Spock invites him to observe his next match. After defeating the computer once again, he tells McCoy that, while its mechanically "flawless" nature should make it infallible, he could not accept what the computer reported regarding Captain Kirk's decision to jettison the pod - he had been on the bridge during the emergency, and therefore he knew its account of the incident was false. So he tested the program bank, and by winning, proved that the computer had been tampered with.
When McCoy now asks Spock he isn't in more of a hurry to reveal these findings, Spock alerts the transporter room that he and Dr. McCoy are beaming down, and they hurry out of the briefing room.
Meanwhile, court has resumed. The prosecution rests their case, but, just as the defense does the same, Spock and McCoy hurry in with new evidence. Cogley pleads that Human rights demand that Kirk be allowed to face the witness against him, the Enterprise's computer.
Cogley suggests the court reconvene aboard the Enterprise. He explains that doing otherwise would lower Humanity to the level of the machine.
Act Four Edit
- "Captain's log, stardate 2950.1. After due consideration, the general court-martial has reconvened on board the Enterprise."
Spock explains to the court that the best he could hope for in a game of chess with the computer would be a stalemate, and yet he's won five games to date. Hypothetically, the only people who could have altered the computer are Spock, Kirk, or a records officer, which at present, the Enterprise does not have.
Kirk describes the phase one search they performed to find Lieutenant Commander Finney, after the pod had been jettisoned. When Kirk admits that, on a vessel as large as a Constitution-class starship, it was at least possible for someone to evade such a search, Cogley concludes that Finney may not be dead at all, but hiding somewhere aboard the Enterprise.
To conduct an experiment, all but the command crew and the court are beamed off the Enterprise to the surface, including Cogley, who had important business there.
Spock uses the ship's on board auditory sensors to amplify the heartbeats of all aboard. Dr. McCoy uses a white sound device to mask the heartbeats of all aboard the bridge.
This leaves only the crewman in the transporter room, and they remove his heartbeat from the scan. There is still a single heartbeat unaccounted for: Finney's.
The sound is coming from the B-Deck, in or near engineering. Kirk goes down with a phaser to find Finney. Sam Cogley had gone to the planet to bring Jame aboard. The Enterprise's orbit begins to decay.
Ben Finney believes that Starfleet conspired against him, to rob him of ever getting his own command. He aims a phaser at Kirk, and explains how he planned to destroy the ship.
Kirk tries to reason with him, but has little success until Finney's resolve is broken upon the revelation that Jame is also aboard and thus also in danger. Spock plans to beam the members of the court back to the planet's surface, but power is failing due to Finney's tampering.
As a fight in main engineering commences, and Kirk finally gets the upper hand. Beaten and sobbing, Finney tells Kirk where he tampered with the controls. Kirk begins attempting repairs.
On the bridge, Uhura takes the helm as power returns. They are able to stabilize orbit just in time. The prosecutor has no further arguments, and Kirk is found innocent of all charges.
As the Enterprise prepares to depart, Areel tells Kirk that Cogley will now represent Finney in his own trial. She kisses Kirk goodbye, hoping they will see each other again.

Background Information Edit
Script Edit
- The first draft for this episode's script, titled "Court-martial on Starbase Eleven," was turned in on 21 September 1966, with the final draft and revised final draft turned in on 26 and 29 September, respectively. The episode was filmed during early October of that year.
- Producer Gene L. Coon contacted writer Don M. Mankiewicz with a proposal to write a compelling dramatic story which could be filmed using a single and easily constructed set. (For the final episode, of course, four new sets were constructed: Commodore Stone's office, Kirk's quarters on the starbase, the bar/lounge and the courtroom itself.) Mankiewicz came up with the idea of a courtroom drama, and wrote "Court-martial on Starbase Eleven". The script needed to be heavily re-written, but Mankiewicz was not available further, so story editor Steven W. Carabatsos got the job. It was Carabatsos who shortened the title to "Court Martial". [1]
- The changes made in the script make it less apparent as to why Jame Finney's attitude toward Kirk changes back to one of respect so quickly. In the script, she has been reading her father's old letters, and his attitude in them makes her believe that he might pull a stunt like this to get back at Kirk.
- In the shooting script, there was a scene (filmed but cut) where Jame Finney comes into the engineering room at the end of Kirk and Finney's fight. The appearance of his daughter and his wish to save her are why Finney tells Kirk where he sabotaged the Enterprise. The scene was presumably deleted because the episode was running long. However, the cut necessitated Kirk's voice-over log entry wherein he relates that a beaten and sobbing Finney tells him about the sabotage. [2]
- It is never clearly explained why Kirk is under pressure to jettison the pod. In his adaptation of the script in Star Trek 2, James Blish establishes that the pod is directly exposed to the vacuum of space, allowing its instrumentation to take accurate readings. However, its plastic construction picks up radiation from dangerous ionization particularly quickly and must be jettisoned when its contamination begins to pose a threat to the rest of the ship.
Props and sets Edit
- The picture on the wall outside Stone's office appears to show the launch of an early NASA rocket.
- Also seen in Stone's office is the two-person transporter alcove. This is later seen on Space Station K-7 in "The Trouble with Tribbles".
- The plants in Stone's office contain pieces of those seen in "The Conscience of the King" and was later used for the spores in "This Side of Paradise".
- The starbase courtroom contains the large reflective Starfleet Command insignia that appears behind all of the admirals the ship communicates with in future episodes.
- The abstract wall decoration in Kirk's starbase quarters is composed primarily of brightly painted blocks of wood.
- The same bell was used in TNG: "The First Duty". (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- The arm rest/sensor on the court room witness chair later shows up in the Enterprise briefing room in "Wolf in the Fold".
- The door through which Spock and McCoy enter the courtroom is one of the few hinged doors seen in the original series.
Cast and characters Edit
- James Doohan (Scotty) and George Takei (Sulu) do not appear in this episode.
- Chandra would also sit in judgment of James T. Kirk in another timeline, serving on the Starfleet Academy board trying that Kirk for his actions regarding the Kobayashi Maru scenario in Star Trek.
That board would also include Lt. Alice Rawlings, named for the actress who played Jame Finney.
- Elisha Cook, Jr. had great difficulty remembering his lines. The speech of his character, Sam Cogley, was pieced together with editing. (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- The actors who portray the members of Kirk's court martial are seen in the bar before Stone even considers convening a court-martial. This incongruity is the result of the shifting of scenes from their order in the script. [3]
Costumes Edit
- The dress uniforms debut in this episode.
- The Starfleet crewmen and officers at the bar are seen wearing uniforms with the Enterprise arrowhead insignia, despite the fact that many (if not all) of them serve on other ships (this is made apparent in dialog – Kirk has not seen Timothy since the "Vulcanian expedition"). Earlier in the series, we saw the crew of Antares with an assignment patch for their ship in "Charlie X". In later episodes, the series officially established that each Starfleet ship would have its own unique insignia (as seen in "The Omega Glory", "The Doomsday Machine", and the two-part Star Trek: Enterprise episode "In a Mirror, Darkly".
- The barkeep wears the same costume later worn by the K-7 bartender in "The Trouble with Tribbles". The back of the bar contains recycled pieces from the interior of Balok's ship.
- Areel Shaw sports the only female dress uniform in the series. It has gold braid on the cuffs as well as a Starfleet breast patch, which the male uniforms do not. The hemline is also somewhat lower than the usual female duty uniforms.
- Finney is clearly referred to as a lieutenant commander throughout the episode, but when he finally appears in engineering, he is wearing commander's braid.
- The courtroom computer gives Spock's rank as lieutenant commander, but he wears the braids of a commander. Such was Spock's uniform throughout the first season (except for "Where No Man Has Gone Before"), even though he was twice more referred to as lieutenant commander in "The Menagerie, Part I", "The Menagerie, Part II" and "Tomorrow is Yesterday". This rank discrepancy appears to have been corrected as of "Amok Time", when Vulcan Space Central asks for "Commander Spock."
Effects Edit
- Stock footage from "The Naked Time" is used on the viewscreen shots as the Enterprise re-establishes its orbit around Starbase 11.
- "Court Martial" was the last episode in which the sound of the ship's engines could be heard during fly-bys. However, in the DVD releases, this sound has been added in for all of the rest of the episodes.
Other information Edit
- This is the first episode in which the names "Starfleet" and "Starfleet Command" were used.
- This is also TOS's first trip to a Federation starbase.
- Areel Shaw once loved Kirk, but doesn't let this get in the way of prosecuting him and ending his career in Starfleet. A similar scenario played itself out between Captain Jean-Luc Picard and JAG Captain Phillipa Louvois in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Measure Of A Man".
- Commodore Stone is the highest-ranking African-American to appear in the original series. He also commanded a starship at one time.
- Several musical scores are reused in this episode, including some cues from "The Naked Time" by Alexander Courage, romantic themes by Joseph Mullendore from "The Conscience of the King", used for Kirk and Areel Shaw, and music from "The Enemy Within" by Sol Kaplan, accompanying the fight between Kirk and Finney.
- We get a look, for the only time in the series, at a series of registration numbers on the chart in Stone's office. Greg Jein associated them with ten names previously used in production memos which will later be assumed to be Constitution-class starships, despite the numbers ranging lower than the USS Constitution. The wall chart disappears in a later scene in Stone's office. At the time of this episode, the Intrepid, the all-Vulcan starship, is being repaired at Starbase 11. It is later destroyed by the space amoeba in "The Immunity Syndrome".
- Although stated to be located around the same place as a Human liver in later episodes, in this episode McCoy places the white noise device to Spock's chest as if his heart were in the same place as a Human's.

ESO 239-2 is most likely the result of a cosmic collision or a lengthy merger process that will eventually result in an elliptical galaxy. The messy intermediate stage, captured here, is a galaxy with long, tangled tidal tails that envelope the galaxy's core.

In afternoon band class he sits with his schoolmates, sounding out short rhythmic measures while director David Teague keeps time with a wooden stick and bell. The class is all brass, creating a terrific din.
Clark isn't much of one for traditional team sports.
"The only sport I do is hunting and fishing," he says.
But he became interested in music after "hearing other people being able to play that good." Brass band music isn't what he's usually in to — country — but nonetheless he still likes playing it after his first nine weeks of band class.
Clark is one of three students at Waynesville Middle who received their band instruments through a program that helps students who want to pursue music in school but are unable to afford an instrument.
The Haywood Community Band's Lonely Instruments For Needy Kids (LINKS) program relies on instrument donations, regardless of their condition. Funds raised during Community Band concerts go toward repairing and refurbishing the instruments.
Students apply to the LINKS program for an instrument and based on those applications and school music staff reviews, instruments are then loaned out for use in the school band. So far this year the LINKS program has provided seven students with instruments.
If the student chooses not to continue to participate in the school music program, the loaned instrument is returned to the LINKS program to be given to another student. But if the student makes satisfactory progress, the instrument becomes his or her's to keep.
The LINKS program grew out of the Community Band's efforts to get people involved with music regardless of age or experience. The band began in July 2002, growing from an initial interest group of about seven to its current roster of about 35 regular musicians, said Founder and Director Emeritus Bob Hill.
Often students get involved with music through school band, but once they get out of high school they put their instruments away — under the bed, in the closet, up in the attic — perhaps keeping them for sentimental reasons, but never having much cause to play them again.
"There's no place for them to express their musical talents and that's why I started the band," Hill said.
Of the one-time musicians who first gathered to start the band, most hadn't played for 30 years or more, Hill said. But having learned to play music is a talent not easily lost. The knowledge of how to read a musical score, finger a chord, or keep in tempo stays tucked away in that mental filing cabinet, just waiting for the occasion to be used.
As testament to the fact, the Community Band played its first concert on the Haywood County Courthouse lawn on Labor Day 2002 — just one month after its organization. Now under the direction of Dick Trevarthen, the band has gone on to hold a regular concert series in Maggie Valley from May through October, and play the occasional event such as the upcoming Veteran's Day program to be held Nov. 11 at the Colonial Theater in Canton. The financial donations collected at these concerts go toward funding LINKS program instrument repairs, as the Band is a non-profit organization.
Musicians interested in joining the Community Band are invited to attend rehearsals, held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday evenings at the Grace Episcopal Church in Waynesville. The Band is a purely volunteer organization and no auditions are required to join. Members come from Haywood County and the surrounding communities.
For more information about the band call Director Dick Trevarthen at 828.456.3015 or Band President John Barrett at 828.452.5553.
Want to Contribute?
To donate an instrument or money for instrument repairs to the Haywood Community Band's Lonely Instruments For Needy Kids program, contact Mary Thomas at 828.452.3522.

Kyle Busch Gets Rude Reception At Martinsville
Busch, who has increased his likability this season through his poise and maturity, was showered with the most noise at Martinsville – and it sounded like all boos.
Jeff Gordon got the second-most noise, leading the contingent of Hendrick Motorsports drivers in spots 2-5.
Also, Richard Childress Racing's Jeff Burton – a Virginia native – made a rare appearance in the top 10.
Here's who got the most noise in driver introductions at Martinsville, measured with a handheld decibel meter:
Driver dB Type of Noise Explanation
1 Kyle Busch 85.8 Boos Fans not buying into new Kyle yet
2 Jeff Gordon 84.1 Mix Had been getting all cheers recently
3 Jimmie Johnson 83.0 Mostly boos Audible cheers mixed in with boos
4 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 82.1 Cheers Can you imagine the noise if he'd won?
5 Mark Martin 81.7 Cheers Love for a veteran
6 Tony Stewart 81.1 Cheers Poor qualifying spot meant fans were quieter, not warmed up yet
7 Kevin Harvick 80.8 Cheers Lives very close to Martinsville track
8 Carl Edwards 80.3 Cheers Popular driver
9 Jeff Burton 79.4 Cheers Virginia native
10 Trevor Bayne 79.2 Cheers Post-Daytona love continues
