The Enterprise crew take shore leave on a planet where their imaginations become reality.
The USS Enterprise has been through a grueling three months, when they discover a lush planet in the Omicron Delta region that promises the kind of shore leave they desperately need. McCoy and Sulu are part of a landing party there to investigate it – when McCoy sees... a giant white rabbit and, following it, a little girl.
Act OneEdit
Soon enough, others are seeing strange apparitions: Sulu finds a pistol lying on the ground; Kirk sees Finnegan, the upperclassman who tormented him at the Academy; the legendary Don Juan appears to Yeoman Tonia Barrows. These are not figments; they are real objects. And then Kirk meets Ruth, an old flame, exactly as she was fifteen years ago.
Act TwoEdit
Spock calls from the ship. He has detected an energy field on the surface of the planet – one that is draining the Enterprise's power. The patterns are consistent with industrial activity, perhaps subterranean. Communications are fuzzy and intermittent, and more dangerous things begin appearing: a tiger, a samurai warrior, and an ancient fighter plane. Spock manages to beam down after communications fail completely; and he's the last; the transporter is also inoperative. The planetary field soaks up energy at the source.
Kirk instructs the landing party to rendezvous at the beam down point; there, McCoy encounters a black knight. Convinced it cannot harm him, he stands his ground – and takes a lance through the chest, dying instantly.
Act ThreeEdit
The landing party are stunned by McCoy's death, but have to stay on alert because they have to be prepared for anything. Meanwhile after Spock discovers that the black knight wasn't real, McCoy's body dissappears. Spock then comes to the conclusion that these artifacts can be as real as they are deadly. Just as the Vulcan asks Kirk what was he thinking at the time, Finnegan reappears. Kirk goes after him personally wanting to find out what has been happening to his people. Finnegan beats up Kirk and they get into a fight. When Kirk gets the best of Finnegan, the former cadet fakes a leg injury, and when Kirk tries to help him up, Finnegan flips Kirk over, knocking the captain out.
Act FourEdit
When Kirk awakens, he's no closer to the answers he wants, although Finnegan's comment – "I'm bein' exactly what'ya expect me t'be, Jimmie-boy" might be a clue.
But beating the tar out of Finnegan makes up for a lot of past miseries, a fact that Spock finds enlightening. He and Kirk realize the truth: all of the artifacts are representations of someone's wish fulfillment fantasy. Gathering the landing party, he instructs them to remain at attention, and not to think of anything.
An elderly man appears; this caretaker confirms the guess: his people constructed this planet as a playground. Anything one can think of can be manufactured – and none of it is permanent. McCoy, taken below, has been completely healed, and as a bonus has a chorus girl from Rigel II on each arm. The caretaker offers the use of the Shore Leave Planet to the crew while cautioning them to take care what they summon. He will not comment on his species or their home planet, saying enigmatically that he believes the Enterprise crew are not yet ready to understand his people. Kirk plans to beam down shore parties, and beam himself back to the ship... and then Ruth reappears, changing his mind.
Log EntriesEdit
- "Captain's log, stardate 3025... uh, .3. We are orbiting an uninhabited planet in the Omicron Delta region, a planet remarkably like Earth or how we remember Earth to be: park-like, beautiful, green, flowers, trees, green lawn, quiet and restful. Almost too good to be true."
- "Captain's log, stardate 3025.8. Investigation of this increasingly unusual planet continues, and we are seeing things that cannot possibly exist, yet they are undeniably real."
- "Captain's log, supplemental. All contact with the Enterprise has been lost. We're trapped here. Our ship's surgeon, my personal friend, is dead. We're certain now that whatever we're facing is terribly real."
Memorable QuotesEdit
"On my planet, to rest is to rest. To cease using energy. To me, it is quite illogical to run up and down on green grass using energy instead of saving it."
- - Spock to Kirk, declining shore leave
"All a girl needs is Don Juan."
- - Barrows, explaining her encounter
"No animals, no people... no worries. Just what the doctor ordered."
- - Sulu, to McCoy while on the Shore Leave planet
"Don't peek."
"My dear girl, I am a doctor. When I peek, it's in the line of duty."
- - Barrows and McCoy, as she changes clothes
"All we know for certain is that they act exactly like the real thing. Just as pleasant. Or just as deadly."
- - Spock, to Kirk
"You stupid underclassman! I've got the edge! I'm still twenty years old. Look at you! You're an old man!"

Story and Production Edit
- Much of this episode was being rewritten as it was being shot. Cast members recalled executive producer Roddenberry sitting under a tree, frantically reworking the script to keep it both under budget and within the realms of believability. (The Star Trek Compendium, p. 49) As a result the filming of this episode went over schedule and resulted in seven shooting days instead of the usual six. [1]
- Roddenberry deemed Theodore Sturgeon's original script too much fantasy, and lacking believability. Gene L. Coon was assigned to re-write it, however he misinterpreted the task and his draft turned out to be even more of pure fantasy. Roddenberry then began to heavily re-write the script, but since they had run out of time, he had to do it subsequently with the filming of the episode.[2]
- Sturgeon's original title for this episode was "Finagle's Planet". (Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, p. 209) "Finagle's law" is mentioned in "Amok Time", also written by Sturgeon, and the Finagle's Folly cocktail appears in "The Ultimate Computer".
- Editor Fabien Tordjmann came up with the idea of having Finnegan continue to pop out of nowhere as Kirk pursues him. This gave the impression that there was more than one Finnegan or, at least, that he was not quite human.
- The preview of this episode shows Yeoman Barrows being accosted by Don Juan while wearing her princess costume. This scene was not used in the final cut.
- The writer of this episode, Theodore Sturgeon, commented about the installment, "That was a gas because anything could happen. Any wild idea you could possibly have could be stuck into that script. Everybody had a good time with that one." [3] Sturgeon submitted a story outline for a sequel to this episode, "Shore Leave II", in April 1968 but it was not produced. It is unknown whether any of the concepts from that outline were later worked into TAS: "Once Upon a Planet".
- This was composer Gerald Fried's first Star Trek assignment. A great deal of new music was written for this episode, including the jig that plays whenever Finnegan appears. The flute and string piece that is played when Kirk meets Ruth is heard again in "This Side of Paradise", and a slightly different orchestration crops up in "The Apple". A snatch of Finnegan's jig can be heard in "The City on the Edge of Forever" after Kirk and Spock escape from the policeman. The theme can also be heard in "Wolf in the Fold".
- Fried based the Finnegan theme on the Irish jig heard during the climatic fight scene between John Wayne and Victor McLaglen in the classic movie, The Quiet Man. [4]
- The "wind chime" planet sound effect heard here is unique to this episode.
- As in "Arena", the shore leave planet is an Earth globe (previously seen in "Miri") printed backwards with exotic colors added. This is the first of two episodes in which the ship is shown orbiting right to left. It is actually just printed backwards, as the numbers on the nacelles are reversed. The second instance, and only in the teaser, is "Mirror, Mirror".
- Normally, the series' closing credits featured a random assortment of screen grabs from a variety of episodes. But the closing credits of "Shore Leave" included five scenes from the episode: 1) The Enterprise orbiting the shore leave planet, 2) Finnegan shouting from atop Vazquez Rocks, 3) Kirk pursuing him, 4) the glade, and 5) the Black Knight.
- According to Herb Solow and Robert Justman's book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, director Robert Sparr did an excellent job on this episode, and successfully managed to direct it simultaneously with the shooting script being written. However, the cast disliked working with him, which resulted in this episode being his only Trek assignment. According to Justman, the challenging task of directing the complicated episode literally hours after the script arrived, made Sparr not concentrating enough on the actors, hurting their egos. Justman tried to bring Sparr back to the series in the second season, but it didn't come to fruition.
- Except for "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II", the re-orchestrated theme music for the opening credits begins with this episode and remains for the rest of the season.
Sets and PropsEdit
- Unique to this episode, the handles of the phaser pistols are painted black.
- Paint was also applied to some of the rocks and trees, which have been doctored with streaks of red spray paint, presumably to make them look more exotic. This technique can also be seen in "A Private Little War". (The Star Trek Compendium, p. 49)
- Most of this show was filmed near Los Angeles at Vasquez Rocks and Africa, USA. (The Star Trek Compendium, p. 49, Star Trek Encyclopedia)
- A chained tiger is brought in to appear in the episode. While the tiger never directly interacts with any of the performers, William Shatner had originally hoped to wrestle it, but was convinced it would not be a wise decision. (The Making of Star Trek, p. 306)
- There were also plans for an elephant to appear in this episode but they never materialized. [5] Later, production staff members often jokingly asked assistant director Gregg Peters, "Say - when do you get to use your elephant?" (The Making of Star Trek, p. 305)
- The World War II fighter plane sequence is depicted by recycled footage of several different plane types. When it is first seen in the distance it appears to be a USMC Corsair with its gull wing configuration and markings. When the plane comes in closer for a ground attack it appears to be the front of a P-47 Thunderbolt. A second plane flying in formation can be seen in that shot. Finally, for the closeups of cockpit and wing section, it appears to be a Japanese Zero along with Imperial Japanese aircraft markings.
Costumes Edit
- William Blackburn (a professional ice skater in real life), who played the White Rabbit, got the costume from Ice Capades for free. The claustrophobic Blackburn had a really painful time wearing it, especially as costume designer William Ware Theiss had originally sewn the Rabbit head to the suit. After nearly suffocating, Blackburn tore off the head, for which Theiss became very mad at him. Finally, they negotiated and Theiss put the head back with Velcro. Afterwards, Blackburn had no problem with the costume. He also commented that wearing the Gorn head in "Arena" was "even worse." [6]
- The two Starfleet cadet uniforms made for Bruce Mars and his stunt double, Vince Deadrick were later reused on background extras in "Wolf in the Fold" and "The Trouble with Tribbles".
Characters Edit
- James Doohan (Scotty) does not appear in this episode.
- Although Kirk appears to address the "Angela" character as "Teller" early in the episode, she is played by Barbara Baldavin, who played Angela "Martine" in "Balance of Terror" (her fiancé, Robert Tomlinson, died in the episode). The script name for her character was "Mary Teller" and was changed to Angela Martine on the set when somebody noticed Barbara Baldavin already appeared as a named character. In the closing credits, she is identified as "Angela". (The Star Trek Compendium, p. 49)
- According to interviews with extra Bill Blackburn, he not only voiced the White Rabbit, but also did the announcements heard in Act One dismissing different sections of the ship for shore leave in alphabetical order. (TOS Season 1 HD DVD, special features)
Pop Culture Edit
- Mystery Science Theater 3000 paid tribute to the episode in their episode "The Thing That Couldn't Die." In the third host segment, the Observers thought they were bringing people from Mike Nelson's past to visit him, but the first person they brought back was Finnegan. Accompanied by a version of his music, Finnegan tormented and beat up Mike.
Remastered InformationEdit
The remastered version of "Shore Leave" aired in many North American markets during the weekend of 26 May 2007. While the episode required very few new effects, the Shore Leave Planet was given a CGI-makeover, now a more Earth-like planet resembling its appearance in TAS: "Once Upon a Planet", rather than the nearly amorphous green blob of the original episode.

On this day (Nov. 5) in 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term as president with an impressive 54.72 percent of the popular vote to Republican candidate Wendell Willkie's 44.77 percent.
The Electoral College vote was even more impressive with the Democratic Roosevelt-Wallace ticket garnering 449 votes out of the 531cast (84.6 percent) to the Republican Willkie-Charles McNary ticket's 82 (15.4 percent).
The outcome was not as one-sided as FDR's 1936 second term election in which he received 60.8 percent of the popular vote and an overwhelming 98.5 percent of the electoral vote, or his almost as one-sided 1932 election over the somewhat undeservedly discredited Herbert Hoover, in which the victorious New York governor received more than 57 percent of the popular votes cast and 88.9 percent of the electoral votes. But the 1940 presidential election represented widespread, general national approval of most of Roosevelt's innovative New Deal policies and after the outbreak of World War II on Sept. 1, 1939, his war preparedness policies.
However, with the breaking of the two-term policy first observed by George Washington, Roosevelt incurred the wrath of many who resented what they felt were his "socialistic tendencies" (i.e., the New Deal) and his executive "high-handedness."
Many Americans especially opposed his 1937 "court-packing" scheme and his 1938 attempted, but unsuccessful, purge of several conservative Southern Democratic senators (mostly notable Walter George of Georgia and Millard Tydings of Maryland).
Also, the sitting chief executive was blamed, by some, for what has been called the "Roosevelt recession of 1937-1938," an economic downturn caused in part by FDR pursuing, somewhat surprisingly and unexpectedly, conservative budget-balancing policies to counter what has been described as a mild business recession.
However, FDR recovered much popular approval when he asked Congress for a huge relief and public works appropriation that, when overwhelmingly passed, along with increased military and naval spending, brought a measure of economic stability and prosperity. However, this resumption of "pump-priming" policies brought about a growing split within the Democratic Party between conservatives, mostly Southerners, who favored an end to New Deal reforms, and liberals who supported a continuation of the innovative but increasingly controversial relief and reform policies of the so-called first New Deal (1932-1935).
The political split within the Democratic Party was much in evidence at the party's 1940 National Convention held in Chicago. The fight was over the vice-presidential nomination.
Conservatives wanted to renominate John Nance Garner, who had served two terms as vice president and up to 1937 had been a loyal FDR supporter. However, he opposed FDR's "court-packing" scheme and a possible third term and therefore became persona non grata with the president and the party's liberals. The liberals were able to secure the vice presidential nomination for leftist-leaning Henry A. Wallace.
FDR's third term (1941 to 1945) was his most noteworthy. Under his leadership, the U.S. became a mighty economic and military power. His legacy is that of a practical, but not always successful, domestic reformer and that of a leader, along with Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill, who led the Allied coalition that decisively defeated Nazi Germany and imperialistic Japan.

An applicant must be at least 18 years old.
We can not currently offer any traineeships, internships or work experience positions.
Telecommuting is not available for any position. All positions are located either in our offices in Versailles just outside of Paris, France or in Cork, Ireland as specified in the job description.
We currently have offices in Versailles, France (around 25km south of Paris) and in Cork, Ireland. Our office in France will continue to be Blizzard Europe headquarters, and the Cork office houses part of our Customer Service department, with a focus on in-game customer support (Game Masters).
The salary depends on many factors and will be discussed during the interview.
While we would prefer that staff stayed in the position that they applied to for a certain period of time, we encourage employees to develop careers within the company, and opportunities for transferring to other areas within Blizzard are advertised internally first to promote this development.
It is essential to send a cover letter and a curriculum vitae (CV). Both documents are typically one page long. In some cases a CV can cover two pages. Tips on how to write a cover letter and a curriculum vitae can be found on the internet. We will not process any applications that do not include both of these documents.
All applications should be sent in English. For language related jobs where fluency is required in an additional language to English, it is a good idea to send an application in both languages.
If you are successful in your application to work for Blizzard, you will get full access to a relocation agency that specializes in dealing with people who are moving to France and Ireland for the first time. The relocation agency will deal with everything from showing you around apartments that you can rent and helping you arrange and sign your lease, to setting up bank accounts, telephone lines and filling in paperwork for such things as Social Security and health benefits.
Unless specified in the job advertisement, fluency in French is not required. The official language of the French office is English. Speaking French within the office is not required.
The majority of a GM's work day consists of responding to tickets from players and assisting them with a variety of issues. GMs also assist newer GMs with learning the job and providing information which is used to improve the quality of their team's customer service.
Customer service skills are a plus, but we have some fantastic GMs who have never done a classic CS job previously and just have a good head on their shoulders, a great deal of common sense and the desire to learn. We also look into the playing experience of each applicant. We want GMs who not only love the game, but who are also well versed in its content. High-end playing experience is preferred, but we also look at applications with experience in higher mid-range content.

Two of the drivers were pronounced dead at the scene by McMullen County Judge James Teal.
A third driver, whose rig rolled over, was extricated from the tractor rig after about 45 minutes as emergency personnel used the Jaws of Life to free him.
The 18-wheelers were carrying gravel and water from drilling.
The driver, who survived, was transported by an Airlife helicopter to University Hospital in San Antonio with life-threatening injuries, according to a medic at the scene.
Department of Public Safety troopers were investigating the accident. But how it happened was not immediately known.
Names of the deceased and sole survivor also were not known.
State Highway 72 was expected to be closed until 5:30 p.m. so the 18-wheelers could be hauled off and the roadway cleared.
Also at the scene were the McMullen EMS, McMullen Volunteer Fire Department, McMullen County Sheriff's Office, Live Oak County Sheriff's Office, Live Oak County Volunteer Fire Department and Acadian ambulance service.

The newest university in Florida has added Microsoft to its list of "industry partners." When it opens in August, Florida Polytechnic University will focus on STEM topics through two colleges, a college of innovation and technology and a college of engineering. Already, the institution has tapped 28 companies as partners to be able to offer its students practice experience in science, technology, engineering and math. The school is based in Lakeland, between Orlando and Tampa.
Microsoft has promised to support the university in multiple ways: helping with curriculum development, participating on advisory boards, offering industry insight and analysis, providing internships for students, supporting the university's foundation, conducting joint research, engaging in opportunities to collaborate in product development, teaching in the classroom, and, when the time comes, hiring graduates. Florida Poly students will also be using Microsoft software applications in the classroom.
CIO Tom Hull said he anticipates that students will receive instruction in several forms: face-to-face, hybrid and online, including MOOCs.
"We highly value the Microsoft partnership as a strategic enterprise software provider for our innovative 'Poly Cloud,' which is an open access, feature-rich environment for our students, faculty and staff," said Hull. "Our Microsoft campus agreement and modern approach to higher education is a flexible, mobile experience for our students, including access to over 90 educational and administrative software applications. This is essential for preparing our students for success in the STEM curriculum and technology marketplace."

As you may remember, Jenny Olson, 35, faced her terminal cancer diagnosis with optimism and positivity.
"Choose hope" became her motto with many of her friends, family and students proudly wearing her message on t-shirts.
Jenny was a wife and mother of two. She was a beloved elementary school teacher and spent her career nurturing students in the Onalaska, G-E-T and Holmen School Districts.
We spoke with Jenny's husband Brian on Thursday who told us she passed peacefully surrounded by friends and family.
Brian commented that because of Jenny and her amazing spirit - so many people will live their life choosing 'hope' each and every day.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am Saturday, Feb. 1 at Holmen Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Holmen Lutheran Church or a charity of your choice.
Jenny leaves behind her husband Brian, 8-year-old daughter Elise and son Ben, who will be 6-years-old on Friday.

Somewhere between the time Jim Cowman was growing up in rural Michigan and his return from a tour of duty in Vietnam, the meaning of Memorial Day changed.
Cowman, 65, cites a decline in patriotism and a more complex world as reasons why he thinks the national holiday honoring those who died while serving their country has turned into little more than a three-day weekend for many Americans.
During the 1940s and '50s, Cowman remembers the respect and honor afforded World War II veterans, who also ran the town's youth sports leagues and scouting programs.
He recalls half of the 8,000 residents of his hometown of Manistique, Mich., regularly turning out to watch the annual Memorial Day parade downtown.
The Clovis resident, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps and remains active in local veterans service organizations, said he feels more hurt than angry about the change in the way Americans view Memorial Day.
"We worshiped the World War II veterans," Cowman said. "Patriotism meant a great deal in those days."
John Fondrick, who works in the New Mexico Department of Veteran Services office in Clovis, said people just don't appreciate the importance of holidays such as Memorial Day or even the American flag.
"(Memorial Day) is supposed to be about remembering those who have served our country," Fondrick said. "Instead, to a lot of people, it's just another day off."
Fondrick, whose office serves the needs of an estimated 6,000 veterans in the eastern New Mexico and West Texas region, puts some of the blame on parents for the malaise toward patriotism and national holidays.
"We ought to be educating (children) and passing what it should mean to them," he said.
Don Elder, a history professor at Eastern New Mexico University, believes Vietnam played a large role in how some Americans view the military and war.
Unlike previous military actions which united the American public, Vietnam split the masses.
"Right or wrong, the perception by many was that American soldiers weren't dying for a good cause," Elder said. "Memorial Day is different because the nation has lost its sense of purpose and unity."
While Elder has never served in the military, he said his family roots trace back to the American Revolution and his great-grandfather fought in the Civil War.
"Memorial Day is a sacred day to me," Elder said. "But I think the American public lost sight of why it is such an important holiday. It will always be a special holiday to me because I've never lost sight of the fact that people gave their lives so I could live in comfort."
Cleaning around the gravestones at the local cemetery was once a Memorial Day tradition for many families, including Tricia Potter's family.
"It was very important to us," said Potter, who grew up near Tucumcari and Clayton and now works in the Lawn Haven Memorial Gardens Cemetery office in Clovis.
"We'd always take a picnic lunch," Potter said. "It was a time to get together and reflect on what the people that went before us did. I don't think a lot of people realize the sacrifices that were made so that we could be free."
Potter said that although she has not carried on the family tradition, she always takes time on Memorial Day to reflect on the sacrifices made by others.
Flip Frazee, a former vice wing commander at Cannon Air Force Base and current ROTC director at Clovis High, said the world simply has changed.
Young people just don't understand the importance or the relevance of Memorial Day, he said.
"I certainly don't take it as an insult," Frazee said. "Half the kids I ask don't even know the meaning of the Fourth of July."
Frazee said he tries to expose his students to the honor and tradition of the American flag and national holidays through the school's Color Guard.
"Once they participate in an event, it makes a difference," Frazee said. "That's why I try to get as many involved as I can."
However, Frazee said he celebrates Memorial Day in his own way.
"I'm no different than anybody else who is heading to the lake or out of town," Frazee said. "But I'll try to take time to remember those who made the sacrifice so we could live in a free country."

After two years of studying earthquakes in the Barnett Shale, Cliff Frohlich, senior research scientist at the university's Institute for Geophysics, concluded in his study that there is a correlation between earthquakes and underground disposal wells. The study was published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a science journal.
Thanks to data provided from the EarthScope USArray program from November 2009 and September 2011, Frohlich was able to obtain seismic information from areas within the Barnett Shale.
According to its website, The EarthScope USArray Program is a transferable "network of 400 high-quality broadband seismographs that are being placed in temporary sites across the conterminous United States from west to east, and Alaska, in a regular grid pattern,"
The machines are placed approximately 70 kilometers apart. The grid of seismic machines was in Texas from 2009 until 2011 when Frohlich's research was conducted. According to his study, there were about 25 machines located in the Barnett Shale where he was studying.
He said in a phone interview that when he began his study his intent was not to study injection wells but rather small earthquakes in the area. "I found that virtually all the ones (earthquakes) I located were close to injection wells," he said.
In the study, it says, "He found that the most reliably located earthquakes — those that are accurate to within about 0.9 miles (1.5 kilometers) — occurred in eight groups, all within 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) of one or more injection wells. Before this study, the National Earthquake Information Center had only identified two earthquake groups in the area strongly associated with specific injection wells. This suggests injection-triggered earthquakes are far more common than is generally recognized."
Although the study was conducted in the Barnett Shale, located in North Texas near the Dallas-Fort Worth area, when asked if the same could be true of earthquakes in the Eagle Ford Shale, he said, "I suppose so."
Another aspect that was not covered in the study was the proximity of the earthquakes to fault lines.
"I suspect that wells with earthquakes have small fault lines, but I cannot prove it."
While many small earthquakes were identified in the study, it said, "None of the quakes identified in the two-year study were strong enough to pose a danger to the public."
Frohlich, a professional seismologist and UT employee of 34 years, hopes to continue his research.
"I am certainly looking at other areas," he said.
He went on to explain that over the past five years there has been an increased interest in research relating to human-induced seismic activity.
His hope is that the research will continue and serve as an information source for both regulatory industries and companies looking to make changes to practices.

ISBE considers changes in PE waiver process, emphasizes meeting Learning Standards for Physical Development and Health
March 20, 2001
Springfield – Future requests for physical education
waivers would need to demonstrate that students are meeting the Illinois
Learning Standards for Physical Development and Health according to a
policy being considered by the State Board of Education at its March
The Board action
comes as a result of testimony from a number of individuals and groups
that the routine granting of waivers may compromise students' learning
opportunities in relation to the Physical Development and Health Standards.
Districts requesting
new PE waivers would need to present baseline data to show how well their
students are meeting the standards for Physical Development and Health.
Districts requesting a renewal of an approved modification or waiver
would need to document improved student achievement of the standards
in relation to the baseline data. Decisions on waivers and modifications
will be made on an individual basis, taking into consideration the achievement
data, the implications of the specific waiver or modification request
and whether the request meets any of the criteria for denial that are
in the law.
As a result of
State Board action last month, staff will encourage all local districts
to implement annual fitness testing and also encourage the voluntary
use of the State Board's written physical development and health assessment
for ninth and/or tenth-grade students. Districts submitting a waiver
or modification request will be able to use data from such assessments
as part of their applications.
Since 1995 when the waiver
process began, 185 school districts, representing a little more than
20 percent of the districts in the state, have submitted 313 petitions
seeking to waive or modify the requirement to provide daily physical
education. Of those, 311 requests have been granted.
The waiver law
authorizes the State Board to approve waivers of rules and regulations
or modifications of state law. Waivers of the School Code must be approved
by the General Assembly. The
General Assembly has approved 213 of those requests as waivers and denied
two. The State Board of Education has granted 98 as modifications of
the School Code.
Currently, 19 requests
are pending General Assembly action and will be included in the report
due to the legislature by May 1.

On a recent visit to the zoo, I came to know there are two African species of rhinoceros, the Black Rhino and the White Rhino, albeit minus the distinction in color that one would expect (both looked greyish to me.) I found an explanation at the relevant links of the following site:
Common Names:
"White Rhinoceros: From the Afrikaans word describing its mouth: weit, meaning 'wide'; early English settlers in South Africa misinterpreted the 'weit' for 'white'."
"Black Rhinoceros: Not black at all, the Black Rhino probably derives its name as a distinction from the White Rhino (itself a misnomer) and/or from the dark-colored local soil covering its skin from wallowing." Also called the "Prehensile-Lipped Rhinoceros: The upper lip of the Black Rhino who is a browser is adapted for feeding from trees and shrubs and is the best distinguishing characteristic," and "Hook-Lipped Rhinoceros: also referring to the prehensile lip."

The upper lip of the Black Rhino who is a browser is adapted for feeding from trees and shrubs
Interesting - I guess the wide lipped rhino browses on grass. Hadn't appreciated that distinction before.
Slight aside; when I drive through Richmond Park I notice that most of the tree canopies start at the same height from the ground. The height the deer can reach!

"I guess the wide lipped rhino browses on grass."
That's right. From the same site:
The White Rhino is a grazer, i.e., it consumes grass. Its wide, square upper lip is adapted for feeding on grasses."
Also, another name for the White Rhino is Square-lipped rhinoceros, as it lacks a prehensile 'hook.'

Lovely animals, rhinos. The popular image is of bull rhinos charging unfortunate people in Landrovers in national parks, but I've spent a little bit of time with a rhino in a zoo, and they just luuurve being scratched behind the ear ...

As saints, we are placed into a new relationship with the Lord through the leading of the Holy Spirit, which indwells us, sealing us unto the day of redemption. We now belong to the congregation of the Lord, with all rights and responsibilities to follow Him by faith and live this new life by His will.
This places us in union with Christ; but to each believer, the Lord offers more – the opportunity of communion with Him. This communion is sweeter and more profound than human friendships or relationships. The experience of communion is fellowship and communication with shared affections, response, delight, and satisfaction. In other words, active communion is not a state of passivity; it consists of the giving and receiving of respect, reverence, and love.
The difference between union and communion is that those who are in union with Christ will always be in union with Him, but our experience of communion with Christ can fluctuate. We are saved by divine grace and cannot help or hinder our union with Christ. If we grow comfortable with the sin we commit or the sins of failing to yield to Christ's Lordship, this only affects the level of intimacy we experience with the Lord – our communion with Him.
The Father's love does not grow or diminish for His children in accordance with their actions, for His love is unwavering. God does not turn from us. We run from Him.
Sin isolates a believer, making him feel distant from God. Then come the accusations – both from Satan and self – which make the believer worry that he is under God's wrath. Saints do not stand under wrath, but under the safe shadow of the cross. A saint's consistency in prayer, corporate worship, and biblical meditation are not things that make God love him more or less. But these things promote the beautiful experience of communion with God. When we give in to temptations and neglect devotion to God, our union is not threatened, but our communion with Him is.
Our union with Christ encourages us to turn from sin and turn to Him, who is quick to forgive, abounding in compassion, and faithful in His unending love. Do not be mistaken – Christian obedience is of monumental importance. But obedience is not the foundation of our union with Christ. Our union is experiential and emotional, with both Christ and the Holy Spirit. Out of this union flows our active communion.
The Holy Spirit comes with power to conquer an unbelieving heart; then He comes with sweetness, to be received into that believing heart. He never abandons a believer, even when we turn His offer down. God's grace is the basis of our relationship, the foundation of understanding the security and privilege of a saint before God.
Pastor Odom's message can be heard each Sunday on Radio KAML, AM 990, at 8:30 a.m. Please join us at Choate Baptist Church for Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Worship at 11 a.m., and Sunday and Wednesday Evening Services at 7 p.m.

What does the word culture mean to you?
For example, do you immediately think of artistic productions of all kinds through history, or in terms of sociological and anthropological studies, or in terms of the way urban communities fit together, or in other ways entirely ?
Be very interested to hear all your individual reactions to this word.

A culture is a evolving system of collective behavior for continuing the clade through time.
Nothing less and nothing more.

Culture to me means language, theatre, poetry, literature, dance and music. I think to me it means anything that is the creation of an individual that helps connect and helps communicate socially. I remember as a kid being told that india (or the subcontinent) is very rich culturally. I clearly remember asking the question what is culture and being told "music, dance etc."; it still didn't mean much to a child. I think culture is an adult concept, because the need to connect to society and to other individuals is more in an adult than in a child.
PS: I wonder whether this post is going to have culturally rich attempts to share, connect and communicate or is one going to have to ignore or endure uncultured snide remarks and nastiness.

I would say culture is all that which is not nature. All different categories and various ways in which mankind left and leaves traces of cohabitation. Traditions, usages, changes, art,language,science, fashion, philosophy, the material world. All of it.

I'm sure tsomeone of your intellect can rise above The Truth once more, to enjoy tsome tcivilised conversation
Thanks for all contributions so far - anyone else putting a toe in the water?
A common feature so far seems to tend towards seeing culture in a sociological light - but does not the 'value-free' nature of that response militate against the ideals of Avy's artistic production, which presumably implies some cleaving* to moral or aesthetic intent..?
* Just for someone who loves the enantriodromic or Janusine :-)

- Combined with HGH-PRO Review by Shukin
combining this with HGH pro has no lie allowed me to sleep through the night soundly. I have used ZMA, Gabba, Melatonin in the past and they all have fallen short of this 3Z-HGH Pro combo. I have even tried a night time pack from a leading company which actually had the adverse affect of giving me a restless night.
I actually just ordered more before posting this review. (Posted on 6/15/15)
- Amazing Sleep Review by Tastan
- This product works! I get the best sleep with 3Z! I take it with me on the trips, and it helps me get great quality sleep while I am away from home. I also take it on days I know I am not going to get full 8 hours and it helps me get better sleep and wake up more refreshed. If you want high quality deep sleep then give 3Z a shot, you'll love it! (Posted on 12/2/14)
- Works Every Time Review by Kevin
- I have been taking this for about 3 months now and i'm very surprised it still works. most sleep aid supps you have to stop taking it for a few weeks to lost your tolerance. not this stuff its worked every time. (Posted on 11/7/14)

- 3Z Best sleep I've had in a long time Review by Kevin
- This is by far the best sleep aide i've ever taken. after I tried the samples I had to buy a bottle of it! I highly recommend this if you are having trouble getting a restful night. (Posted on 9/11/14)
- Best Sleep Ever Review by Troach
- I'm in love with 3Z! If you are looking for a product that makes you feel rejuvenated the next day and puts you in a better mood, this is for you!! Take it at night (or pair it with HGHPro) and you are set for the best night sleep of your life! There is NO hangover or drowsiness feeling when waking up the next morning, just awake and alertness =]] I take it 30 min before I go to sleep (half the time I fall asleep within 10 min bc it works so fast) but I'll wake up hours later and ready to kickass in my workout that morning!! (Posted on 1/11/14)
- 3rd review Review by John t
- Awesome product. Very effective and producing a calming and relaxed sensation. Very nice small dose of gaba and valerian root. I take 3 caps 30 min prior to bed and I wake up without any side effects like other sleep aids. Helps a ton with recovery. Use everyday and the benefits keep growing. (Posted on 1/11/14)
- 3z Review Review by The Solution
- 3z as a standalone is a great product. not only do you get deeper sleep, but it takes away the groggy feeling when you do wake up the next day. After a good 1 week use you start to notice deeper REM sleep, and an also increased recovery from day to day and session to session as far as less DOMS and increased rest. highly suggest and one of my favorites. (Posted on 1/10/14)
- Night power Review by DoubleM
Some months ago i was having a lot of sleeping troubles. Probably caused by anxiety issues.
I had a lot of trouble to fall asleep and worst.. staying asleep. I woke every single night after 1/2h of falling asleep. The following day i had nausea, lack of appetite and morning anxiety was a lot worse.
I´ve bought 3Z and when i received it i was a little better (it took some time to arrive since i´m from Portugal) but not 100%. First night i took it i´ve tried only 1 pill to see how my body reacts to it. Everything was fine but i didn´t feel a strong effect.
So on the next night i took the full dose and i asleep on about 40 minutes and only woke up on time on the entire night which was very good for me.
Since then i take it occasionally especially when i know i will sleep only a couple of hours or my anxiety is worse.
I fall asleep better, less anxious and i wake up with a refresh feeling. I feel like i slept and recover like i should do. Didn´t you feel sometimes when you wake up that is seems you are more tired than before you asleep? That would be a thing of the past with 3Z (Posted on 7/12/13)

If there's consent and they are happy, why would I care? *shrugs* It's their lives
Wasnt Romeo 18 and Juliet 14?? No problem for Shakespere, No problem for me.
You should look up your state's law. In my state it's illegal for an adult (18+) to date someone under 16. So if one of you turns 18 and the other is still 14...
No. Why would I? Only 3 years difference. +That...what ta f- is this?! Are you jelous about your friend that you did this thread?!
im 20 and my gf is 31. :/
Since when feelings are limited by age?
My first boyfriend was 6 years older than me... but we didn't have any problems with that.

it's a little strange but no.
im in australia and the law is that if there is over 3 years then they cant and if the 17 year old turns 18 before she turns 15 then they cant but the girl turns 15 in December and the boy turns 18 in march next year so i would say for them to be together if they are happy!!
personally, i dont care about age differences but i think 14 is really too young to date :shrug:

I'm a first time mom and I've felt a lot of pressure (from myself as well as others) to sooth my cranky 7 week old (who isn't always cranky but when she is, boy, look out!). I was very against pacifiers before I had a baby, but when I finally gave in, and there was once again peace in my house, I had to change my mind. Ari now uses a pacifier to sleep (which is most of the day) and in the car. I'm wondering if I'm causing my child more harm then good? I've read studies that say pacifiers are bad for teeth after a certain age but good for the prevention of SIDS in the first year. I'm also wondering if there is a more natural choice in pacifier materials...are there the problems with latex that the hard plastic bottles are having?
Thanks everyone

The upcoming presentation at Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) will be the last hurrah for this technology and PBL paper. I've chopped it down to the bare essentials and I hope you will take a look this paper and tell me what you think. After this it's to the presses or to the junk pile, so you can make a difference by letting me know!
Today I'm not interested in any particular technology use, but overall patterns of teacher technology use and PBL. There is something about teachers who use the Internet that results in them being more successful in implementing this kind of teaching. I'm not sure if it's the Internet use, though, or something about the teachers.
Think about this blog. Only certain, self-selected people will read this. If you are here, you are interested, and resourceful! For many others, this blog, and the topics of PBL and technology reform are not even on the radar.
How are you using technology to support PBL or how are you using PBL to integrate new technologies? What has been your experience? I'd be really interested in any thoughts.

Stevie Wonder Donates $100,000 To Child Cancer Patient
Stevie Wonder has followed Charlie Sheen's lead by donating $100,000 to help a young girl fighting cancer.
The former Two and a Half Men star showed his generous side earlier this month by handing over $75,000 to a charity set up in honor of 10-year-old Jasmine Faulk, who is suffering from childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the muscle tissue.
Wonder went a step further on Saturday by bringing the youngster and her father up onstage with him during his show at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The legendary singer serenaded Faulk with his hit track Isn't She Lovely before handing her a check for $100,000.
The youngster gave Wonder a big hug and told him, "I love you Stevie!"
Faulk's father is a police officer who has worked privately for Wonder since 1997, according to TMZ.com. Sheen heard about the child's story from another member of the Hermosa Beach force.

- Title
- A large closed queueing network containing two types of node and multiple customer classes: one bottleneck station
- Author(s)
- Abramov, Vyacheslav M.
- Abstract
- The paper studies a closed queueing network containing two types of node. The first type (server station) is an infinite server queueing system, and the second type (client station) is a single server queueing system with autonomous service, i.e. every client station serves customers (units) only at random instants generated by strictly stationary and ergodic sequence of random variables. It is assumed that there are r server stations. At the initial time moment all units are distributed in the server stations, and the ith server station contains N i units, i=1,2,...,r, where all the values N i are large numbers of the same order. The total number of client stations is equal to k. The expected times between departures in the client stations are small values of the order O(N -1) (N=N 1+N 2+...+N r). After service completion in the ith server station a unit is transmitted to the jth client station with probability p i,j (j=1,2,...,k), and being served in the jth client station the unit returns to the ith server station. Under the assumption that only one of the client stations is a bottleneck node, i.e. the expected number of arrivals per time unit to the node is greater than the expected number of departures from that node, the paper derives the representation for non-stationary queue-length distributions in non-bottleneck client stations.

Find Your Ring Size
Request a Ring Sizer
Get the right size the first time by requesting a plastic ring sizer. To order, select your preferred delivery method:
Need it fast?
FedEx Priority Overnight® or FedEx 2Day® starting at $15
Printable Ring Size Guide
Blue Nile realizes that you may not know the ring size for a given finger, and we want to help. We provide a printable ring sizer that can help you determine your ring size. Prior to printing, ensure that page scaling is set to "none" on your print dialog box.
(These documents are PDF files and require Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Acrobat Reader download it for free.)
Measuring Your Finger
Your ring should fit your finger comfortably; snug enough so that it will not fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle.
Finger size changes depending on the time of day and the weather. For best results measure your finger size:
Avoid using string or paper to measure ring size as these materials can stretch or twist, yielding an inaccurate measurement.
Ring Sizes
Women's rings typically range from size 3 to 9. The most commonly purchased women's ring sizes at Blue Nile range from size 5 to 7. Size 6 is the most popular ring size.
Men's rings typically range from size 8 to 14. The most commonly purchased men's ring sizes at Blue Nile range from size 8 to 10-½. Size 9 is the most popular ring size.
Tips for Buying the Ring as a Surprise
Ask your significant other's friends or mother if they know her finger size.
Borrow one of your significant other's rings (from the correct finger) and use the ring measurements above to determine its size.
Find Your Perfect Ring
Free Resizing
Blue Nile provides complimentary resizing for Build Your Own Rings®, and Diamond Bands when within the manufacturer's recommended sizing range, during the first year. Simply contact a Diamond & Jewelry Consultant at 1 800-242-2728 to arrange for your free resize. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the product, according to our return policy.
Diamond and gemstone eternity rings with a specific number of gemstones per finger size; milgrain or ornate bands, some silver rings, or rings with alternative metals such as Tungsten cannot be resized. We are happy to exchange your ring for another size within 30 days of purchase. It is important to note that should you opt for an exchange, your new ring may contain fewer or more gemstones, diamonds, or a reduction or increase in precious metal weight which may cause an increase or decrease in the price.
International Size Conversion
If ordering from outside of the US or Canada, determine your ring size according to your country's standard. Then use the International Ring Size Chart to convert to the corresponding US ring size to place your order.

Trichomoniasis, sometimes referred to as "trich", is a common cause of vaginitis. It is a sexually transmitted disease, and is caused by the single-celled protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis producing mechanical stress on host cells and then ingesting cell fragments after cell death. Trichomoniasis is primarily an infection of the urogenital tract; the most common site of infection is the urethra and the vagina in women.

Washed Silk Quilt, Full/Queen, Light Sage
- Collection
- New Colors
Make your way through the coldest of winter months with a cozy quilt or blanket. Whether you're relaxing with your significant other and watching a little television, or you are preparing for a good night's sleep, having the perfect quilt or coverlet is imperative to a restful evening. A quilt is also an important part of a bedroom's look. While it is functional in nature and must be comfortable, having a quilt that matches the existing decor and complements the colors in the bedroom is a plus.
When deciding on what type of quilt to purchase to accompany your bedroom suite, comfort is of the most importance, so selecting the right material is paramount. For a quilt, cotton is the most popular choice. A very versatile and durable material, cotton bedding adds softness to a quilt or coverlet. It is also an easy material to work with, and many of the quilts available from west elm are hand-blocked for a realistic, authentic touch. Cotton is also a material that is very easy to clean and can stand up to repeated washing and drying cycles, adding to its longevity so you are able to enjoy the quilt for years. Other quilt materials include silk, which is very luxurious to the touch, and Belgian flax linen, a crisp, yet soft material that is ideal for quilt construction. Belgian flax is another versatile and soft material, and if you love the feel of the material, you are able to easily match a Belgian flax quilt with Belgian flax sheet sets. You are also able to match quilts and sheets with flax linen curtains for a complete finish to your bedding set.
Color is another important consideration when selecting a quilt. A quilt will most likely be on top of the bed during most of the months out of the year, so you want a color that works well with your furniture, decor, curtains and wall color. To brighten or cheer up a bedroom, choose a color that really pops, such as orange or yellow. Brighter colors can sometimes make the room feel more open and expansive. Neutral colors are also a solid choice to complement the colors of nearly any bedroom. Choose to search for bedding by color. For example, an entire page dedicated to gray bedding will not only allow you to choose the quilt you are looking for, but matching sheet sets, shams and bed skirts in gray color schemes. You are also able to look for neutrals in brown and beige hues. Pinks and pastels work well with gray or beige color schemes, but also work in a variety of other situations. For summer quilts, pastels and pinks add notes of warmth to a room, while light blues are able to add a hint of coolness during the fall and winter. Blue is another exceptional choice if you are opting for a marine or nautical theme.
If you do have a certain theme in mind, shopping by bedding collection is a good idea to see how colors work when used together. For example, the cool blue featured in the floral print bedroom collection allows you a solid, beautiful blue quilt, with floral shams and an organic sheet set. You are also able to browse between collections to pick and choose from each set, and mix and match certain ideas you may like for your bedroom. Patterns and stripes mixed with solids are also a great way to add decorative flair to a room. Match patterned quilts and bed sheets with solid curtains and drapes to add elegance and flair to the room. A matching patterned or solid bed skirt is often the final touch when completing your bedding.

Week one woes
September 11, 2013 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — There's nothing like the adrenaline rush of a season opener in football. That is not to say that soccer, volleyball, tennis, or cross-country competitors feel the excitement any less than those that battle on the gridiron. It's just that in the current sports landscape, despite the dramatic upsurge in interest in soccer, football still draws more attention, bigger crowds and banner headlines than fútbol. Over the course of this fall, all of the sports will get their fair share of attention here. When it comes to high school kids giving their all, the sport, or for that matter, the ultimate outcome, matters far less than what young athletes gain in terms of self esteem and life lessons.
In week one of the Section Nine football season, teams aspire to evince a fast start. Usually opening week brings mixed results, but this time out Liberty emerged as the only local winner. The Indians were 6-4 (3-1 Class C) last year and lost in the Section Nine championship game to O'Neill. Liberty dominated Eldred 34-6 in a non-league tilt to spoil the Yellow Jackets' home opener, all of the other locals including Sullivan West, Tri-Valley, Monticello and Roscoe/Manor/Downsville exited with 0-1 records.
In Friday night action, Sullivan West, which finished at 6-3 (3-1 Class C) last year losing to O'Neill in the semifinals, hosted foe John S. Burke Catholic in a non-league Class C tilt. The two teams did not play last season, but the year prior they engaged in back-to-back frays in a week eight win and a Class C semifinal playoff game, both of which were won by the Eagles. Burke, which finished at 5-5 (3-1 Class C) last year, was frustrated by being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention last fall. But after an arduous off-season involving much weight training, the team, which lost only three seniors to graduation, quickly showed why it may well be the team to beat in Class C this year. For most games the devil is in the details, but when you're talking about a 46-6 outcome, there is little to say. The Westies were victimized by a Burke offense that marshaled 391 yards including 328 on the ground. Bulldog senior quarterback Richard Shevak ran for 62 yards on 18 carries and was four-for-ten, passing for 38 yards. Junior Andrew Stabbert had 50 yards on 12 carries and led the team with 13 tackles. The Bulldogs have a bye week coming up before traveling to Eldred on September 20.
