The Enterprise investigates two survivors living on the only undamaged patch of land on a devastated planet.
The USS Enterprise-D is en route to a Federation colony, Delta Rana IV, which sent a distress signal indicating they were under attack. When the Enterprise crew arrives, they find the entire planet devastated, save for a few acres of land and a house containing two elderly botanists, Kevin and Rishon Uxbridge. Still aboard the Enterprise, Counselor Troi senses something unusual about the two. However, she soon begins hearing music in her mind, replayed in an endless loop. The music blocks her empathic abilities and eventually begins driving her insane.
The two survivors claim to not know why they were spared. The Enterprise soon is attacked by a large warship, apparently the one responsible for the devastation. Data reveals that there is no record of the ship in the vehicle identification index. The ship flees after the Enterprise fires a warning shot. After being unable to catch up with the unidentified ship, Captain Picard returns to the Delta Rana system. Upon returning, he visits the two survivors and offers them a replicator.
Meanwhile, Troi is still haunted by the music, which is becoming louder, soon rendering her hysterical and incapable of doing much more than tearfully beg Dr. Crusher to make it stop. She suggests moving her to sickbay, which Troi refuses. Dr. Crusher offers to induce delta-wave sleep, but Troi is convinced the music is real and that not even deep sleep will spare her from it.
Back on the planet, Picard describes his encounter with the unknown ship to the two survivors who, again, claim not to know why they were spared. Picard says that there must be something different about them from the other colonists, and insists on taking the survivors back to the ship. They refuse. The Enterprise goes into red alert as the unidentified ship returns. Picard attempts to open a hailing frequency before being attacked again. This time, the attacks are stronger and cause much more damage than previously. As the Enterprise throws everything she's got at the attacking ship, the ship absorbs all energy and is entirely undamaged. After taking severe damage and incurring casualties, the Enterprise escapes the ship's firing range.
Picard theorizes that Troi's music stems from Rishon and Kevin's unwillingness to leave. Back in the Delta Rana system, Picard expresses his belief that the unknown ship is no longer in the vicinity, and that it some how protects Kevin and Rishon, directly or indirectly. He then returns to the planet to talk to the survivors. The survivors appear to be celebrating and are startled by Picard and Lt. Worf's sudden appearance.
Picard accuses them of never expecting to see him again for some reason. He explains to the survivors his recent encounters with the ship, however Kevin refuses to believe him, calling his stories methods of intimidation. Right before leaving, Picard sternly explains that the Enterprise will remain in orbit around Rana IV as long as the two are alive.
Upon beaming back to the Enterprise, the unidentified ship reappears, much to the evident dismay of Worf. Commander Riker and Worf begin preparations for a fight, but Picard calmly informs them that the Enterprise will take no action. The alien ship veers away from the Enterprise and targets the house of Kevin and Rishon. The house and plot of land are destroyed and the ship is then itself destroyed by a single photon torpedo from the Enterprise.
The crew are astounded by this turn of events, and even more puzzled as to why they remain in orbit over a dead planet. After approximately three hours, Geordi La Forge notices a change in sensor readings and informs the captain that the house is back. Picard orders Kevin and Rishon beamed directly to the bridge and confronts them over what really happened on the planet.
Kevin Uxbridge makes a startling confession – he is in fact a Douwd, an immortal being with vast powers. He met his Human wife many years before and decided to live as a Human with her. She joined the colonists in fighting the alien Husnock raiders and was killed. Though a devout pacifist, in a moment of anger towards the invaders for taking his wife's life, he annihilated the entire Husnock race.
Stunned at his "sin", Kevin recreated Rishon and their house, and sentenced himself to exile on the ruined Delta Rana IV. He used the fake warship as a ruse to try and keep the Enterprise from finding out the truth. The music in Troi's mind is also his creation; her empathic powers were also threatening to reveal the truth. Picard confesses that the Federation is not qualified to be his judge in the matter, and allows him to return to the planet. As the Enterprise departs, Picard indicates that the Douwd should be "left alone".

Background information Edit
Story and script Edit
- According to the first draft script dated 7 July 1989, the working title for this episode was "The Veiled Planet". [1] [2]
Production Edit
- The outdoor scenes in this episode were shot at a beach house in Malibu, California. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Director Les Landau recalled, "We were on location for a day. It made not only the audience but the crew happy. When you're tied to shooting indoors every day, it gets monotonous. We were lucky enough to go out to Malibu and we had a beautiful summer day. I think it was unique story for Star Trek and one of my best works to date." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- First UK airdate: 23rd October 1991
Cast and characters Edit
- John Anderson had lost his own wife shortly before appearing in "The Survivors", and said that the subject matter made the role of Kevin Uxbridge one of the most difficult of his career. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
Sets, props, and costumes Edit
- The large round window in the Uxbridge's living room previously appeared on the surface of Ramatis III in "Loud As A Whisper".
- This is the first episode that Deanna Troi wears her new turquoise uniform, which she will continue to wear on a rotating basis with her maroon and dark gray unitard until the season six episode Chain of Command, Part I (episode).
Continuity Edit
- Both guest stars play characters that are much older than they were in real life at the time of shooting. 67-year-old John Anderson played 85-year-old Kevin Uxbridge and 55-year-old Anne Haney played 82-year-old Rishon Uxbridge. This seems to indicate, as with the 137-year-old Admiral Leonard McCoy in "Encounter at Farpoint", that the average Human lifespan is much longer in the 24th century. (Haney would subsequently play an even older character, the hundred-year old Els Renora in the episode "Dax".)
Reception Edit
- A mission report of this episode by Patrick Daniel O'Neill was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 10, pp. 44-47.
Video and DVD releases Edit
- Original UK VHS release (two-episode tapes, CIC Video): Volume 26, 21 October 1991.
- UK re-release (three-episode tapes, Paramount Home Entertainment): Volume 3.1, 28 February 2000.
- As part of the TNG Season 3 DVD collection.

i looked online and seems they sell it everywhere over the internet, but is there a store they sell it at too? i couldn't find it on the target website....and on the babies r us site they seemed to only have the version that had the handles on the bottom, which i guess makes it difficult to line up with the spout? ...and silly me....i'm the type who likes to pick the color.. and it seems if i order online i could end up with any color....so i'd rather pick it up at a store, or if anyone knows of where you can pick the color online? thnx!

We intro. sippy at 6 mo. DD did not like it. We then went for a straw cup - she LOVES it. She loves to suck water from the straw. Of course she will do this with a reg. straw in our cup of water, too! A speech pathologist posted on here some time ago that said straw was better for baby.

I found this website that gave the list of the nuby sippy cups that are BPA-Free. We LOVE the two handled cup and the flip straw cup.
I am wondering how much water is ok. The past few days she has been SUCKING it down!! I only give her about 4 oz. Is that ok??
I found our cup at Target, but yes it was not online. They also sell them at Walmart.

i'm not too sure how much water is ok...i think when starting out like with my little guy who will be 6 months old soon they say just an ounce or so is good, and even then often times baby is just getting used to the sippy cup and not really drinking much. in your case however, sounds like your lo is already a pro at the sippy cup and is gulpin' it down. you may want to post a new thread and ask...and i think it will depend on how old your lo is, so you'll want to note the age of your lo, too. hope you find your answer...
my lo used sippy cups at 6mo and at 7mos started using both straw cups & sippys- I put ice water in it- makes a good noise when she plays with it and feels good on teething gums. I think it helps her feel included at mealtime too since she doesn't eat much for solids. She is so proud that she can grab and hold her cups by herself.
since 10/10/07
and still going...
this morning I was still in the dark re starting solids and sippy cups etc and thanx to all the girls on here I feel a lot more informed and better - thanx so much!!!
just one silly question, what is BPA?
That makes alot of sense to me, bcse once George started solids, he also started having some problems with constipation, even though he was still drinking the same amount of breastmilk as b4. Extra fluids helped with that, and he was still nursing every 2 hours like he always had been, so he wasn't interested in more bm than he was already getting.

I realize I am not the target audience for the baby boomer comedy "Darling Companion." But I wasn't a teenage cheerleader, and I could appreciate "Bring It On."
Using a plot I can best describe as "empty-nester porn," this movie does its best to lure the Sunday matinee crowd. Everyone else — yes, including dog lovers — should stay away.
So let's blow through this plot. Beth (Diane Keaton) is married to Joseph (Kevin Kline), a work-obsessed spinal surgeon. Her kids are grown. She adopts a mangy dog she finds on the side of the road.
A year later, the family gathers at a vacation home in the Rockies for a wedding. Then Joseph loses the dog, and there is much boomer angst.
Writer-director Lawrence Kasdan has documented this generation since "The Big Chill." Here, in a script co-written with his wife, Meg, he seems like he's ready for the old folks' home himself.
The solid cast — Keaton, Kline, Richard Jenkins, Mark Duplass of "The League" and more — goes completely to waste. The limited humor falls flat, a patchwork of love stories is absurdly forced, and characters float in and out.
Most unforgivable? Advancing the plot by revealing the vacation home's caretaker is descended from Gypsies and has visions of where the lost dog may be.
All this from the guy who wrote "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark"? Woof.

Daypack ?
I have a fishpond water dance pack that I absolutely love! But, (seems like there is always a but don't it ;p) I would really like to be able to hike into some of the smaller streams of the park. With the knee surgeries I've had in the past I have to keep these hikes small and not pack a lot of stuff. The water dance pack has plenty enough room for me to get by on for a day hike. (Lunch, a snack or 2 and a few water bottles and I'm good). My only problem is my rod and net. I love to take pics of the fish and use a net to hold them while I'm trying to get their pic. If I use my rod tube to carry the rod while I hike in what am I going to do with tube while fishing? I could use a rod sock and simply stow it in my pack while fishing but I'm not real keen on the idea of hiking thru the woods with nothing to protect my rod.
So, I've sort of come up with a solution, but I need some input here. I'm thinking I need a small daypack. Something I can tie my rod tube to, put my net and even my water dance pack in. Then I can hike in and unload water dance pack, net, and rod. Place daypack in water dance pack while fishing. Then reverse everything when hiking out. The only problem is my rod tube. There is no way that I can come up with to attach it to water dance pack. So I may have to hide it in the woods and retrieve it on the way out?
Maybe I'm just way over thinking this but if you guys got any solutions they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
I've got the perfect solution
Unless you are doing an overnighter just carry you rod, and since you are on a small stream you won't need a net either
I don't know anyone that carries their rod tube unless they are backpacking
Call me if you want to go fishing, boating, hiking, or if you want to buy a foamie
If I know I'm going to walking for a good bit before fishing I'll carry my rod broken down and held together with a rubber band around each end to make it a relatively sturdy little bundle.
Im not sure if I can help, but... Kelty has some nice Daypacks, they have a pocket like sleeve that goes inside the side pocket on their sides for what I use for a rod tube holder on my Redwing 50. But, I think they are for skis. Not sure if this helps but, here is a link to their site. For the Redwing 33
Whoops, I'm sorry I failed to mention that I've got 2 left feet and I was afraid of falling or just being plain clumsy and breaking my rod before I ever got to the stream. However, I like magoo's idea. The rod sock I mentioned earlier protects the rod but it doesn't hold it all together like a couple of rubber bands will. I'm not sure if I can explain it on here or not but I can see where the rubber bands would definitely make a more sturdy package. I think that pretty well solves my problem.
Thanks guys,
PS I guess I was just over thinking my "problem" which means I really need to quit thinking and just go fishing!

I usually carry my rod assembled, but if its a long hike, I keep it in its sock, lashed to the side of my pack.
I carry a camelback backpack, because you can easily slide a net down the water bladder sleeve, with the handle sticking up for easy access.
I have an inexpensive suggestion. I was at wal-mart a month ago and saw a nice little pack for 30-40 dollars. it is an Outdoor products brand. It is a nice pack for the day hiker/ fly fisherman. I can loop the net to it on the back of the neck. It will fit a medium to small net inside. It has 2 mesh water bottle pockets (one on either side). Very comfortable to wear all day. As far as your rod, if it is in a case I am sure you could get figure away to strap it on. I have a rod case and I think if i wanted to I could strap it on fairly easily.
"Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the mountain. I will fear no trout: for thou art with me; thy fly rod and thy wading staff they comfort me."
Email Kris
Keep your pack. Carry your rod. Ditch the water bottles and carry a Sawyer Mini. You'll find that you drink more water when there is an unlimited supply at hand. Pack weighs less also.
My posts are worthless without pictures
Lots of good suggestions on here...
I don't think there really is a "one size fits all" response to this question. Depending on time of year, weather, and hiking distance I will do some combination of the following:
1. Always ditch my Fishpond Dragonfly in favor of the much smaller San Juan chest pack in the mountains. If I want to go ultralight, then I leave the San Juan behind and just put the basics in my shirt and pants pockets.
2. If it is summer and I am only going a mile or so up the trail I will carry my rod in hand and clip a water bottle to a belt loop using a carabiner.
3. If it is spring or fall, or I am going more than 2 miles, or expect to be out for a long day I will pack my rod along with a rain jacket, water, snacks, warm clothes (if necessary), and a small first aid kit in either my 15L or 24L daypack.
This is what has worked for me. I fished with my Fishpond Dragonfly for years in the manner you are talking about, but found it quite uncomfortable to wear for long distances when loaded up with food, water, gear, etc.
Just my $0.02...

I use what I think you are looking for. The fishpond tundra tech. The chest pack snaps into the backpack (which has two rod holders) and unsnaps when you are ready to use just the chest pack. I will admit though, I have rarely actually used the whole set up. Here's a link: http://www.fishpondusa.com/tundra-tech-pack.cfm
I bought mine at LRO as well.

There are many people who are under the impression that the 6.1 percent increase in residents obtaining Illinois Firearm Owner's Identification cards is being spurred by a belief that the state might soon join the others that allow the carrying of concealed firearms by residents who would qualify.
The theory is that concealed-carry would cut crime and allow for people's personal protection.
I have a different take on the subject.
I think that the upswing in FOID cards is because people are scared that our legislators are preparing for another giant "gun grab." FOID cards are necessary to purchase and own guns and ammunition in Illinois.
This week, three anti-gun bills emerged from the Illinois House Rules Committee and will move to the House and they can come up for a vote immediately.
House Bill 1294 would ban most semi-automatic handguns, rifles and shotguns, some individual firearm parts, as well as .50 caliber rifles and ammunition.
House Bill 1599 would re-classify a slew of semi-automatic handguns, rifles and shotguns as "assault weapons."
Remember that many guns used by sportsmen and hunters will fall under this ban.
A "semi-automatic" does not mean a machine gun and the definition of "assault weapon" is usually misunderstood.
House Bill 1855 would create penalties for victim's gun theft if they fail to report a stolen gun in a completely arbitrary time frame. The victim of the theft would be investigated to make sure that the stolen gun was not sold instead. So, you get robbed or burglarized and the authorities turn you into the suspect?
These three bills that are intended to infringe on our Constitutionally-protected Second Amendment rights were, in part, written by legislators from Chicago. I guess they think that all of the criminals and gang members are going to line up at local police stations to turn in their weapons as soon as this bill passes.
Sure. That's going to cure the problem of violence.
Here is a city that recently celebrated a day in which no murders occurred because it is such a rare occurrence.
I urge you to contact your state Representative today and urge them to oppose HB 1294, HB 1599 and HB 1855. If you don't know who represents you, here is an easy way to find out – visit www.ilga.gov/house.

Did you know that Google and PayPal both refuse any firearms-related transactions? Now Google is also banning the advertising of weapons or related items.
In this modern cyber world, the Internet is a tremendous way for small entrepreneurs to get in the game of commerce.
Now, anyone in a firearms related business isn't in the game. In fact, they are being kicked out of the stadium.
Hang on, folks. I am not endorsing wholesale sales of guns over the Internet and home delivered to anyone who wants one. It's the "firearms related" part that I question.
What exactly does that mean? Can it ban gun cleaning products? Can it ban gun safety locks? How about banning hunting books and videos? Can you take this all the way to include camouflage clothing?

Al Lindner hosts the popular "Lindner's Angling Edge" fishing show. Al and brother Ron are devout Christians and at the end of every program, Al gives a very short inspirational message.
The following was posted on Facebook by Ron Lindner:
"We received notice from NBC Sports regarding the inspirational message Al presents at the close of each program. The following is a quote from NBC Sports (formerly Versus): 'Moving forward, NBC Sports Network will no longer allow any non-sports related content, such as religious content in their programs. Any religious references need to be removed entirely. This includes, but not limited to, on show opens or logos, graphics, animations or any references by talent or guests. This change goes into effect immediately.'
"Therefore, we have no choice but to remove this segment from our Angling Edge series. We have made the required adjustments and Angling Edge will air as scheduled."
This makes me scratch my head in wonder, has the scourge that is known as political correctness entered the fishing world?
What harm does Al's short message cause? None.
As far as I am concerned the message can only be construed as something that is meant to cause good. I asked Shepherd what is going wrong with today's society.
He replied, "The answer's pretty simple. Without vision, the people perish. We don't have much vision in our leadership today."
Oh well, "Lindner's Angling Edge" is available on a number of stations. I know that I, for one, will no longer be watching it on NBC Sports Network.

Almost 300 airmen from the 148th Fighter Wing of Duluth, Minnesota, have returned from their tour of duty at the Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan.
Air Force Col. Frank H. Stokes is the 148th Fighter Wing Commander. He said during their mission, the airmen deployed F-16 aircraft and personnel to provide support or protection to coalition ground forces. He said they should be proud of their performance.
"The Bulldogs of the 148th Fighter Wing performed their mission impeccably," Col. Stokes said.
Air Force Maj. Audra said this is the first major aviation deployment to Afghanistan for the 148th Fighter Wing. The group had been deployed to Joint Base Balad, Iraq in 2005, 2007 and 2008.

Course Overview
This course acquaints students with how public policy develops and is adopted in the American governmental system. It is normally taken during the first year. The course helps students understand the different settings in which policy develops and the factors that influence its development. Each section of the course uses different substantive policy concerns such as international affairs, social policy, community engagement, and resource and environmental regulation to explore how individuals and institutions initiate and/or give legitimacy to public policy, including the executive and legislative branches, the courts, interest groups, and individual citizens. The course also covers the dynamics of the policy process by focusing on the roles of and relationships among various levels of government and the concepts and models used to describe these aspects of policy development. The roles of ideas, concepts, and formal methods of analysis in policy development are discussed. Reading assignments and class discussion focus on case studies, legislative hearings, policy-issue briefs, court decisions, and theoretical works which highlight and explain the development of particular public policies.
Section Description
Scope: What do 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the bailout of the Mexican peso in '95 have in common? They were all unexpected crisis events that challenged the nation and the national policymaking apparatus. This course affords students the opportunity to examine and analyze policy formulation and implementation at the federal level, under the specialized circumstances of unforeseen crises. The nature of policy structures, organizations and institutions will be examined to assess how problems are defined, agendas are set, information gathered, decisions reached and implemented, and their effects. The course uses a crisis case study approach to examine policy development in the areas of global trade and finance, humanitarian and environmental policy, asymmetric threats, and national security. The aim of the course is for students to develop an understanding of the federal government's ability to formulate and execute effective policy, especially when forced to depart from the routine by unexpected focusing events.
Requirements: Students are expected to attend all class sessions. Unexcused absence may result in a letter grade reduction of the final grade. Students are responsible for all readings and for meaningful participation in class discussions. Students should also keep abreast of current events using reputable sources such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and reputable policy journals. Several in-class exercises, short papers, a mid-term exam, and a final group presentation analyzing selected policy issues and recommending solutions will be completed.
This class is offered for grade only.

"They are both back on duty," confirmed Lonnie Messer, chief of the Swinney Switch Volunteer Fire Department "The Good Lord was riding with them that night."
The accident took place about 4 a.m. Wednesday. Both men --who the chief declined to immediately name but said were 75 and 68 years old --were injured while returning from fighting a 1:30 a.m. structure fire in Lagarto.
The firefighters were north of Orange Grove when the 2009 Peterbilt tanker truck, in which they were traveling, flipped over, reports show.
"It happened as they were coming down FM 534 where it meets FM 1362," the chief said. "They were going a little fast around the curb on the edge of the sand and they flipped the truck."
It is possible that exhaustion from duty played a part in the accident, the chief said.
The 75-year-old firefighter was flown to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial in Corpus Christi. The 68-year-old firefighter was taken by ground ambulance to a Beeville hospital.
"They airlifted one of them because they thought he was in bad shape," the chief said. "But they examined him and everything turned out to be all right. He was just bruised. The other got sent to Beeville with a knot on his head -- he was also bruised up."
The two firefighters each were released from the hospitals hours after they were admitted.
Messer said the two remain sore and bruised from the incident.
"As they rolled they hit their heads on windows and such and were really banged around," the chief said.
Messer described the two as veteran volunteer firefighters -- one with 15 years and another with two years of service to the department.
The truck, meanwhile, sustained $15,000 to $20,000 worth of damage. When the chief spoke to a reporter Friday, he was in the process of waiting for an adjustor to come and evaluate the damaged vehicle.
There are 25 volunteer firefighters in the Swinney Switch department, the chief said.

I spent time running various errands, signing paperwork, getting and taking lunches to my children at school and then spending almost two hours with them until they were done. They have different lunch times! I knew I had to get a few more things done, but I let them slip. As I was driving home late in the evening, the alarm went off in my head. My deadline! I had a great column for you all! Well, I thought it was.
Then last Saturday night, as I am picking up my children from Vacation Bible School (early in the VBS season) I got a phone call from my oldest son.
"Mom, I totaled my truck."
Alarms resounding in my head in fear of how bad it could be, but the worst (his death) was not to be because he was talking to me on the phone. He had taken his eyes off the road for a moment (and, no, it was not his phone that distracted him, because he had left it at home) when he veered off the road and hit a guardrail and lost control of his truck.
It wasn't flipped, he walked away, no one else was involved, he has the means to replace it, he is gainfully employed, he had all his "papers" (DL and insurance) and the truck was "legal."
There have been times in my adult children's lives, admittedly, when this has not been the case, if you want to know the truth of the matter. I must have seemed awfully strange wanting to sing the praises of God! He walked away! He wasn't hurt! He has the means to replace the vehicle, although it may take time.
Even in the tragedies of life, we can find praises. I did. My youngest son looked up at me and said, "Momma, does he have Jesus in his heart? Because, if he does then everything will be all right."
I suggested that he ask his big brother that question.
Life is full of opportunities for us all to wallow in the misery that faces us sometimes daily. But I remember several scriptures: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6)
Then we are encouraged to think of things that are true, noble, pure, lovely, good report, virtuous and praiseworthy to meditate on them. (Paraphrase of Philippians 4:8)
My piece de resistance is Romans 8:28, 30: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose…Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified."
To quote a song of not too long ago, "Keep the faith, baby."

Fire season far from over
A fast moving fire in the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge this weekend is proof the wildfire season isn't over yet.
The fire started near Luke Road and South Cheney Plaza Road Saturday morning and threatened several homes in the area. As of 6 a.m. Monday the fire was 100 percent contained, with fire crews spending the day putting out hot spots.
The small plumes spotting the landscape of the blackened wildlife refuge Monday are a far cry from the flames reaching into the sky Saturday.
"Flame lengths were between 6 and 10 feet and it had already hit the timber," Doug Frederick with the Inland Northwest Fire Complex said.
The Luke Road Fire started just outside the southeast portion of the refuge but pushed by gusty winds the blaze quickly jumped the road and headed northwest, coming dangerously close to several homes.
An air tanker from Moses Lake dropped fire retardant, some of it coming down on a home to help stop the fire's advance.
"Pretty well insulated it; did burn right up to the yard down there, so it was a good stroke of business as they say," Frederick said.
A small fire plane from Coeur d'Alene also helped the firefighting effort, but a big factor was that crews had cleared dry fuels in the area several years back, keeping the fire from reaching the tops of the trees and spreading even faster.
"That thinning allowed this fire to act like one of our prescribed fires. We didn't get a catastrophic wildfire," Turnbull manager Dan Matiatos said.
Another hidden gem in this fire was that the 93 acres burned would have needed another thinning soon.
"Fire itself does benefit the ecosystem but we like to do that under prescribed circumstances," Matiatos said.
That's because prescribed burns are safer and less expensive than trying to contain a racing wildfire.
"The negatives greatly outweigh those positive ecological effects," Matiatos added.
The cause of the Luke Road Fire remains under investigation.

LEA Determinations
According to 616(a)(1)(c)(i) and 300.600(a) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004), States are required to make "Determinations" under 616(d) on the performance of Local Education Agencies with regard to the provision of special education and related services.
Essentially, Determinations are a way of designating the status of each LEA/EIS program in relation to one of four categories: (1) Meets Requirements, (2) Needs Assistance, (3) Needs Intervention and (4) Needs Substantial Intervention.
As implied, these categories represent various intensities of technical assistance and/or intervention. Each State is required to make such a determination using these categories for each and every LEA within the state on an annual basis.
The US Department of Education through the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) is also required to engage in making a Determination for every State and US Territories.
In making Determinations, Illinois considers the following:
- LEA performance on Compliance Indicators (Indicators 4B, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
- Whether the data submitted were valid, reliable, and timely (Indicator 20)
- Uncorrected Noncompliance from other sources (e.g. District Monitoring & Complaints) (Indicator 15)
- IDEA Part B Audit Findings
In addition to these requirements, States may also consider LEA Performance on results indicators and other information it deems relevant. Each state is allowed to decide what general approach it will use to make these determinations as well as who will be involved, and what criteria it will use to identify the status of each LEA within the four required categories. Illinois convened a group of stakeholders to establish criteria for the LEA Determination process.
Additional information on the LEA Determination process, technical assistance tools, tips and resources can be found below.

Don't take them at their wordSeptember 06,2013
Dont take them at their word
If theres one thing that Entergys recent announcement that it will close down Vermont Yankee next year proves yet again, its that the company lies compulsively. Less than a month ago Entergy Vice President Terry Young insisted shuttering Vermont Yankee was never considered a cost-cutting option. Now, as was so succinctly put by Bill Mohl, president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities, This asset is not financially viable, a conclusion reached after months of evaluation by the companys board of directors.
It is very easy to imagine, given Entergys long history of false and misleading statements, as well as the withholding of critical information from regulators and the public, that the announced closing of Vermont Yankee is a ploy to get the Public Service Board to lay off and just give them a Certificate of Public Good, and to get the Attorney General to give up Vermonts fight with Entergy in the courts. After all, theyre closing in a year anyway, right? Maybe not. Theres nothing that says they cant change their mind, that the plants financial viability wont suddenly change, particularly if a Certificate of Public Good or a legal battle, possibly before the Supreme Court, are no longer an issue.
Vermont Yankee is closing. It will soon no longer be producing the most toxic elements known, and to encourage everyone not to let their guard down, to understand that decommissioning once begun is a long and hazardous process being undertaken by a company for whom the plant is now a financial liability. But celebrate, yes.

The miniature rubber duckie on the soap dish in my shower always reminds me of Amanda. Dear, sweet Amanda. But here lately, I see the rubber duckie and all I can think is, "Amanda is pregnant! Amanda is pregnant!"
Amanda was my daughter Laura's best friend when we lived in Abilene, Texas. She gave me the rubber duckie and some bubble bath for Christmas before we moved back to Portales in December of 2002. Amanda is 14, only a few months older than my Laura.
Amanda has an angelic face framed by her long cinnamon-colored hair and she has a cute Texas twang. She was one of my students when I helped teach a catechism class at our church in Abilene. Amanda came from a dysfunctional family.
While I was saddened by the news, I can't say I was surprised. I was more upset. It made me want to scream, "Hello! Somebody should have seen this coming! Why didn't somebody do something before it was too late?"
The issue of teen pregnancy is a big one with plenty of blame to go around. There's a lot I can say about that. But then I got started thinking in a different direction, about what we consider to be the "ideal age" for parenthood.
Last weekend, I talked to a close family member of mine who is only a few years older than me. She is almost at the opposite end of the spectrum from Amanda when it comes to motherhood. She is bordering on 40 and her oldest child just started kindergarten. By her frame of mind, she started motherhood too late and wishes she had had her children sooner.
Of course the extreme opposite end of the motherhood spectrum, by today's standards, would be that 56-year-old grandmother who recently gave birth to twins in New York.
I reassured my family member that the mid-30s is not considered old nowadays to have children. But still, she has this notion in her head that she'll be an old lady before her children are grown.
I think that beats the alternative, which is becoming a grandparent before you're even 40. Some of my classmates who had children very young are already becoming grandparents.
I told this family member of mine that as much as I love my daughter, Laura (I have to say this), I wish I would have waited a few more years. I was 22 when I had Laura. I was fresh out of college and unmarried. Personally, I think 22 is too young to become a mother. Sadly, here in New Mexico, a state plagued by a high teen pregnancy rate, it's not so young.
At least I had a college degree when I had Laura. But still, I was immature and not financially stable. I wish I had been married. I was young, alone and just setting out into the real world. That's one thing I pointed out to this relative. At least she and her husband (they are both college graduates) were financially stable when they started their family.
All of these thoughts about age and motherhood made me think back to the Biblical times and wonder whether age was ever a factor back then. By all Biblical accounts, Mary must have been young, perhaps a teenager, when she had Jesus. At the opposite end of the spectrum, in the Old Testament, was Sarah, who became a mother to Isaac at age 90.
Only God really knows when a person is ready for parenthood. We all mature at different levels. Who's to say that a woman in her 50s or 60s can't be just as good a mom as someone in her 20s or 30s, or vice versa? When it comes to teen moms these days, though, that's a whole other subject. There have been success stories, but statistically speaking, they are usually the exceptions, not the norm.
As for Amanda, she's a straight-A student and a survivor. But the odds are stacked against her even more now.
And that's why my heart sinks when I see that rubber duckie in my shower.

I know Kyle and Matt had relatively extended stretches out front, but I think everyone woke up expecting a Jimmie Johnson win and he delivered with, in terms of total laps led, his most-dominant win ever. Some (the '04 Coca-Cola 600) might have had a higher percentage of laps led which, with the different sizes of tracks, is the better gauge of one's dominance but it was still a pretty big day for him. I'll be honest, I didn't think anyone else would lead today barring some different strategy or some wacky occurrence for the 48. That he only led 346 of 500 was surprising.

Windows Phone's market share is admittedly small, but the OS is beginning to pick up momentum. Microsoft elected to pull out of the International CES this year, but that didn't stop CEO Steve Ballmer from rushing out onto the stage during the Qualcomm keynote to talk about the two companies' partnership, particularly when it comes to Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.
According to Ballmer, Windows Phone sales quintupled during the last few weeks of 2012.
"In November we reported that sales of Windows Phones were four times greater than during the same time last year. And during the week of Christmas, we were running at five times the number of phones from the Christmas week last year."
This is huge, despite the fact that the OS is coming from a relatively small starting point. A 500% increase in sales is fantastic. If Microsoft can keep up this pace, we should start to see Windows Phone's market share grow at a much more rapid pace.

A View from Sec 237, Row 14, Seat 1
Yankee Game July 1st 2010
Yesterday was my first time at the new Yankee Stadium. I know, I'm ashamed that I didn't get to go earlier. But I know I'll be back many many times, because the place is like Heaven. And lucky for me, it was a good game. The Yankees lost the first two of the Mariners series, and lost the first today in the Blue Jays series. I'm very thankful for that 4-2 win yesterday. Maybe they won because of me!
I was too excited to sleep. I was too excited to stay still on the train. Hahaa, I was too excited and stupified to even take pictures of the Great Hall! My Dad and I walked around like zombies, OMG-ing at everything we saw. It was amazing. The Stadium is so beautiful – words cannot describe it.
I was a Bleacher Creature, which was an incredible experience in itself. We got in our seats early to see the guys warm up. After a little while, when I realized that it is not a dream and I can control my every move, I decided to take some pictures of the guys warming up.
CC pitched a fabulous game for the Yanks yesterday. Now I know how he prepares for his starts:
CC paces around as Dave Eiland goes over the plan of attack.
CC and Jorge, the battery of the game, have a nice catch.
The Mariner starter, Ryan Rowland-Smith, had a catch with his battery mate Josh Bard:
After a few minutes, the position players emerged from the clubhouse to do some last-minute warmups before the start of the game:
From left to right: Curtis Granderson, doing some serious stretching with help of a trainer, Robinson Cano, doing I don't know what, and Mark Teixeira, jogging his way into the picture.
The Mariners did the same thing.
Before we knew it, the game began.
After CC pitched a 1-2-3 first, Jeet led off for the Yanks. He eventually scored on a Mark Teixeira groundout to give to the Yanks a 1-0 lead.
The game went pretty fast. Here are some random shots I got:
A-Rod in the process of swinging (and missing :p)
Ramiro Pena at-bat with Derek Jeter on deck.
Mariners left-fielder Ryan Langerhans looking a little bored in the outfield.
Ow-OW! Brett Gardner – lookin' good…♥♥♥
After A-Rod's dramatic 2-run homer in the 8th, we had the lead again. That meant only one thing….
Hearing Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and witnessing the Great Mariano jog onto the field is just the coolest thing ever. He beasted yesterday, setting down the Mariners 1-2-3 and nailing down the save for the Yankee win.
I had the time of my life at the game yesterday. I don't even care that much about the loss today, because yesterday still lingers in my mind🙂 The heroes for the thrilling victory yesterday are CC Sabathia, for 8 innings of 2-run, DOMINANT C "Cy" style baseball, Alex Rodriguez, for his SUPER CLUTCH 2-run homer in the 8th to re-give the Yankees the lead, and Michael Hirschbein. He's the guy that made this day possible for me by giving me the tickets. I write for him at http://pinstripepartisan.com at FanVsFan.com He's awesome.

Hey Virginia- I am happy to hear you got to see a good game… Yankee Stadium is an amazing place to be. I agree about Enter Sandman. It is so intimidating when you hear it start playing. I was at a game earlier this yr when Joba pitched to load the bases with 2 outs in the 8th. Girardi came out. We couldn't see if he signaled for Mo or Marte. Sandman started playing, and everyone was instantly relieved. Unfortunately, Mo proceeded to walk the first guy, then give up a grand slam to Jason Kubel. But whatever. Still a really great place to be.
So glad that you were able to take in a game and with your dad! Let the memories linger. They will stay with you forever! My only time at the old Yankee Stadium was sitting in the bleacher section close to the guy that calls the roll call. Let's see when I make it to the new Yankee Stadium.
Have a wonderful 4th of July!
God Bless America
Great pictures! I'm so glad you had fun at Yankee Stadium! I know how it feels like going to a ballpark. The atmosphere is absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing your experience! I love taking butt pictures, by the way😉
The view looked pretty neat! Even if it was of the Yankees (lol)! Congrats on your All Stars; the game is more fun to watch the more guys you have playing in it.
By the way, I think I just put together that you also write (with me) for Fanhuddle. That's you, right? If so, that's great! It's like discovering I had a sister I didn't know about (ok, not really).
So glad you finally came "home" and got to see the Stadium. And how cool is it when Mo trots in to "Enter Sandman?" It just makes you stand up and scream. Really love your pics and video. Keep up the great work!
Awesome Virginia. Just awesome. I'm glad you finally got out to a game and so happy they won it for you. I would've liked to have been at that game; the guy who pitched in the 7th inning for the Mariners that day (Brian Sweeney) is a fellow alumnus of my college–I'm trying to get a hold of him so I can do an interview for a blog post!
This was my first trip to the new house: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/161723-my-first-trip-to-the-new-yankee-stadium-the-experience-of-a-lifetime
..and my latest blog post, lol: http://martelli.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/07/independence-day-weekend-in-cooperstown.html
Hey Virginia! I've gotten back into MLBlogs, so of course I had to check back on yours, which was always a favorite of mine, yankee content or not🙂
Anyways, I'm always a sucker for fan pictures at games, so I loved this entry naturally. Nice pics, and it's awesome you were able to go to a game.

Hey guys! Just wanted to keep y'all updated a little.
I've tried emailing different LLL leaders and not a one has replied to me yet and it's almost been a week. I suppose a call is probably in order. **EDIT: Finally got two to reply. Yay!**
Things were going really well, except for some nipple pain from time to time due to his shallow latch and then ...
I got mastitis and thrush.
I'm on antibiotics right now, but he's not. I'm too worried that I will pass some of this to him due to the fact that my nipples are still very itchy (I'm on day 7 of dicloxicillin and fluconazole) and so instead I've been pumping. Thing is, those cracked nipples I mentioned are still cracked and it hurts even to pump! I've been putting nursing butter/lanolin on a lot and it seems nothing really is helping. My nipples are still sore, pink (sometimes whitish/yellow on the very end), cracked, and I feel ridiculously hopeless.
If it's not one thing, it's another. :/

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The filing deadline is near for candidates who want to run in recall elections against Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators.
The candidates have to submit nomination papers by Tuesday at 5 p.m. to the state Government Accountability Board in Madison.
If there are no challenges to the paperwork, the GAB will certify candidates on Friday after 5 p.m.
Democrats Tom Barrett and Kathleen Falk say they have the necessary 2,000 signatures to run against Walker. Democrats Doug La Follette and Kathleen Vinehout have also announced their intention to run.
A Democratic primary would be May 8, and the winner would face Walker on June 5.
The recalls were spurred by anger over Walker's efforts to strip most public employees of collective bargaining rights.

The River2Sea Rover's action turns a leisurely weekend dog walk in the a sprint. Instead of the gilding action action anglers are accustomed to, the Rover's choppy, side-to-side slashing will draw vicious strike like a pit bull attacking it's prey. The face of the Rover features an exaggerated cupping that spits more aggressively than other "spook" style baits. The River2Sea Rover's cupped mouth and geometry also create on of the most unique actions ever experienced with any walking type lure. Include super sharp Diiachi trebles (98 - #6 size; 113, 128 - #4 size)

Comments: Nice bait with several sizes to choose from and nice color selection. Basically just an advanced and updated Zara Spook except it casts better and has upgraded super sharp Daichi hooks. I had a problem with the paint/casing on my Whitey color coming/peeling off only about 20 casts and it was never in the heat or anything to damage it. Caught 1 small 13 inch kentucky on it and that was all. Contacted R2S and sent picks of bait and they sent me a new one in less than a week. Top not customer service and company that stands behind their product. I just happened to get a lemon which happens with any product in any company...it happens. Recommendation I will add is NOT to remove the oval split ring line tie. I always like to use a duo lock snap so I can change out baits quickly but with this bait the front hook (128 model with 3 hooks) is somewhat positioned close to the head of the bait and your line will get caught in the hooks somewhat often when walking the dog back and forth which is highly annoying and ruins the cast. So just tie direct to the oval split ring and your good to go.
From: Brett: STL, MO
Comments: This korean brand never ripped anywone off! River To Sea is the ORIGINAL. They started to make this bate over 50 years ago!
From: Joo
Comments: Best walking bait on the market hands down. Easy to walk and flat out catches fish in the fall. Much more durable than Repo Man and a lot less expensive.
From: Ed: GA
Comments: this is a top-notch walking bait. it practically walks itself on a slow/med. retrieve. very well made and the okie shad color is a winner. they say that color does not matter with surface lures. maybe, maybe not. this color catches mucho bass, so who cares? i let the water color dictate the lure color most of the time. i like the whitey also. i wish they made it in black--
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: I bought one to try just because it was a little different. I was very impressed! It got a workout the first day. 3 over 4 lb and no tellin how many short fish. The one thing i noticed was that the smaller schooling fish was tougher to hook up with. But they always came back for it.
From: Craig: Belle River, IL
Comments: Started fishing this bait this year, and have already caught several fish. I've previosly fished super spooks and repoman/ vixen lures. Very similar to and as I understand it predates the vixen. It seems to have a more erratic/ darting retrieve

San Francisco Giants (52-41) at Philadelphia Phillies (41-53)
Matt Cain (10-3, 2.56) vs. Cole Hamels (11-4, 3.07)
Time: 4:05, Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Mostly Sunny, 80
Media: Twitter and Facebook
The contract talks and trade rumors haven't died down for Cole Hamels. All he can do today is pitch, as today's game is expected to be a pitcher's duel. Today's matchup might come down to whoever can score first with these two aces on the mound. Hamels has been the Phillies' most reliable starter this season, and they need him to stop their two-game losing streak.
Matt Cain has been one of the best pitchers in the majors this season. He has 124 strikeouts in 126.2 innings, which is an average of 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings. He has the best WHIP in the National League (0.955). Opponents are hitting just .210 against him.
Cain has been a little shaky in his last three outings, going 1-1 with a 4.12 ERA. Although he has been in a little "slump," his numbers during that 19.2 innings stretch are still respectable. The All Star is having an incredible year, so the Phillies' offense needs to be up for the challenge.
LINEUP: Rollins SS, Victorino CF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Ruiz C, Pence RF, Pierre LF, Fontenot 3B, Hamels P

Some big trade talk about Victorino to the Yanks. They need OF help and are willing to send back a relief pitcher as the article goes. How about Qualls for Vic?? Lol, I crack me up!!!
Glad that last line drive wasn't hit toward Pence or it would have been a triple. Nice grab by Pierre who seems to know how to run a correct route to a ball.
Congratulations, Cole. You're bringing your payday way down.
Game over. I guess I'll watch the replay of the British Open.
Hmn… I think this is not the kind of pitcher's duel Amanda had in mind!
It ain't over yet, Chuck — Hamels just got a HR and made it a 3-2 game!
We need relief help drastically and I see Brett Myers is traded to the White Sox today and very cheaply, with Houston paying a lot of his salary this year and he's under contract for next season. Can someone tell me why he's not back in Philly red this afternoon? Is Rube asleep at the wheel again??
Ah, Chase, the king of getting hit by pitches.
Love the pitcher cringing when he makes contact.. Cain knew the second that Howard hit it that that thing was GONE AND IT'S NOT COMING BACK!!!
The Core is far from over. Phils just needs a better compliment around Big Brown and Chase who both go yard on Cain today.
Does anyone know what tv station this is being telecast on? I have MLB and I am blacked out today???
I'm in Virginia and its on MLB. Do you have anyother game on?
I'm watching it on our local Fox affiliate in Philly (WTXF FOX 29)
We just can't stand to be in front can we, Cole? Can't blame it on the bullpen but wait KK and the bastard are warming up.
That's not the kind of suicide he had in mind! HA!
Another day, another extra-inning game.
And… here comes another Papelbum failure to save.
Sure looked like a game-losing balk to me.
Papelbum, you suck.
GO AWAY PAPELBON! You are so overrated. 50 million and how many years?!
It took Ruben Minaya Jr. $176,000,000.00 to create this
Why would anyne think he can fix it?
Its embarrassing
And your whole teams there now
But wait
Jimmy Rollins is absolutely untradable
As if anyone would take their garbage LOL
In a way the fans deserve this.
Absolutely untradable.
Paging the Sabermetric people
What over hyped crappy closer can Ruben Minaya get the Phillies next year for $50,000,000.00 ????
Cause 50 million on a closer is where a last place team needs to be.
The guy next year needs to get hurt though.
Needs to fit in.
How many losses does Papelbum have this year? Millions of dollars a year to pitch a couple of innings a week, and he's single-handedly taking the wind out of this team's sails.
I think I would rather Brad Lidge. We can bring him back right?
