Over the next few years, astronomers will be able to observe first-hand how the super massive black
hole at the centre of our Milky Way is being fed: an international team of astronomers led by the
Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics has found a gas cloud that is falling towards
the black hole in the galactic centre. While some distortion due to the huge gravitational pull
of the black hole can already be seen, the gas cloud will be completely disrupted and ultimately
swallowed by the black hole, resulting in largely increased X-ray emission. The observations and
analysis are described in a Nature paper, published online on 14 December 2011.
With observations from the PACS instrument on board the ESA Herschel space observatory, an
international team of scientists led by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics
have found gigantic storms of molecular gas gusting in the centres of many galaxies. Some of
these massive outflows reach velocities of more than 1000 kilometres per second, i.e. thousands
of times faster than in terrestrial hurricanes. The observations show that the more active galaxies
contain stronger winds, which can blow away the entire gas reservoir in a galaxy, thereby inhibiting
both further star formation and the growth of the central black hole. This finding is the first
conclusive evidence for the importance of galactic winds in the evolution of galaxies.
One year after the launch of ESA's Herschel space telescope, German scientists have reason to celebrate: The instruments' performance and first results have exceeded all expectations. Initial observations with the largest telescope currently in space, which was designed primarily to study the coldest matter in our Universe, have led to new insights into the formation of stars, the properties of dust in distant galaxies and the presence of molecules in interstellar clouds.
The Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) partners in Germany, the U.S.A. and Italy are pleased to announce that the first of two new innovative near-infrared cameras/spectrographs for the LBT is now available to astronomers for scientific observations at the telescope on Mt. Graham in south-eastern Arizona. After more than a decade of design, manufacturing and testing, the new instrument, dubbed LUCIFER 1, provides a powerful tool to gain spectacular insights into the universe, from the Milky Way up to extremely distant galaxies. LUCIFER 1 has been built by a consortium of German institutes and will be followed by an identical twin instrument that will be delivered to the telescope in early 2011.
Herschel's latest image reveals the formation of previously unseen large
stars, each one up to ten times the mass of our Sun. These are the stars
that will influence where and how the next generation of stars are formed.
The Rosette Nebula resides some 5,000 light years from Earth and is
associated with a larger cloud that contains enough dust and gas to make the
equivalent of 10,000 Sun-like stars. The Herschel image shows half of the
nebula and most of the Rosette cloud. The massive stars powering the nebula
lie to the right of the image but are invisible at these wavelengths. Each
colour represents a different temperature of dust, from -263°C (only 10şC
above absolute zero) in the red emission to -233şC in the blue.
ESA's Herschel space observatory collects the infrared light given out by
dust. This image is a combination of three infrared wavelengths,
colour-coded blue, green and red in the image. It was created using
observations from Herschel's Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer
(PACS) and the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE). PACS has
been designed and built by a consortium of institutes and university
departments from across Europe under the leadership of Principal
Investigator Albrecht Poglitsch at Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial
Physics, Garching.

Stars form from giant gas clouds in galaxies - the star formation rate however has changed over cosmic timescales. In the
young universe many more stars were born. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics, together
with an international team of astronomers have found a plausible explanation: a few billion years after the Big Bang, normal
star forming galaxies contained five to ten times more cold gas than today, providing more "food" to fuel the star formation

Water is regarded as a key ingredient for life - and water exists plenty in the universe. Now scientists
have found the precious element in a disk around a young star, similar to our Sun. This disk, supposedly
the birth place for future planets, contains a hundred times more than all oceans on Earth. The
astronomical observations obtained with the IRAM interferometer appear very promising to solve the
mystery around the origin of water in our solar system

A weak cosmic infrared radiation field that reaches Earth from all
directions contains not yet deciphered messages about the evolution of
galaxies. Using first observations with the PACS Instrument on board
ESA's Herschel Space Telescope, scientists from the Max Planck Institute
for Extraterrestrial Physics and other institutions have for the first
time resolved more than half of this radiation into its constituting
sources. Observations with Herschel open the road towards understanding
the properties of these galaxies, and trace the dusty side of galaxy

Our data resolve the emission line distributions and kinematics (primarily Hα) on scales of ~1-5 kpc.
About 1/3 of the galaxies are rotation-dominated yet turbulent disks, 1/3 are more compact dispersion dominated
objects, and 1/3 are clear mergers (illustrated with the Hα velocity fields of 30 of the 103
sources below). The data imply comparable current and past-averaged SFRs, high gas mass fractions
of ~30% and baryonic mass fractions of ~60%-80% within ~10kpc. The high z disks are more
turbulent and gas-rich than their z~0 counterparts, often showing luminous massive (~107.5-109.5Mo)
kpc-sized "clumps", as expected for Toomre-unstable gas-rich disks. A picture emerges in which the
gas reservoirs of the galaxies are constantly replenished, fueling intense star formation over a
substantial part of their stellar lifetimes and ~10 dynamical timescales. This suggests steady gas
accretion via cold flows or rapid series of minor mergers (as opposed to violent dissipative major
mergers) is at play, heating the disks without destroying the highly ordered gas motions.

Herschel views deep-space pearls on a cosmic string
Europe's new space observatory Herschel has delivered marvellous
vistas of cold gas clouds lying near the plane of the Milky Way.
The dark, cool region is dotted with stellar factories,
like pearls on a cosmic string, unveiling
unexpected activity in spectacular details as we have
never seen it before! These infrared pictures prove that
Herschel is on par with the Hubble Space Telescope, complementing
Hubble's view of the universe in visible light with the missing
"other half" in the infrared.

Although a prototypical Seyfert 2, NGC 1068 is in fact rather unusual.
The H2 emission in the central 250pc originates in an expanding
off-centre shell with particularly bright and massive clumps
around the north east side.
Filaments of gas extend from the ring at a radius of about 30pc to
the AGN on both sides.
Modelling the morphology and kinematics of the
filaments has shown that the only way to simultaneously account for
both constraints is if they trace gas that is falling almost
directly in towards the AGN.
These models indicate that the infall timescale is about 1.3Myr.
One of the filaments lies across the front of the AGN, suggesting that

Why you should add Ghanato your Indie/RTW trip
- Ghana may be the friendliest travel destination in West Africa. And that's not just because most of Ghana's neighbors have been stuck in civil wars in recent years. The people themselves are noticeably friendly and open, making it a joy to travel in the country.
- Stop and talk, interact with the locals, eat and drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
- Once you've done that, take a trip to see the national parks and rainforests.
- The Cape Coast Castle, the seat of the British colonial power back when Britain was trying to get everyone in Africa to take up cricket, is Ghana's only UNESCO Heritage sight.
- Mole National Park may be named for tiny mammals, but it's home to some giant ones. Elephants roam the park and pose for photos by the herd, and in Kakum National Park, an entirely different ecosystem is on display in the jungle canopy walks and rainforest hikes.
Ghana's capital city, Accra, is one of the travel hubs for flights and buses in the region, so you shouldn't have much trouble getting in to Ghana or getting around once you're there. Taxis, buses and cars for hire are plentiful and while there aren't many tourist groups or tours to ferry you around, you should be able to find your way to the best sights on your own.
Hostels are widely available in cities on the coast and can be a cheaper way to stay in Ghana.

OnTheGoDesks necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 63 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
I have spent the past 15 years on the road as a sales professional. After realizing that there were no good solutions to the problems associated with working in your vehicle throughout the day, I designed the On the Go Desk line of products. I love creativity (anything but stuffy!), pushing the "norm" of what people expect, and bending perspectives. I'm well known for saying "Let's do something cool today!"
The target audience is going to be anyone who spends a lot of time working on a laptop while on the road. Sales people (e.g. advertising, pharmacuetical, real estate), estimators, contractors, etc. The desk is designed to keep the user more productive, and more comfortable while working throughout the day.
We are a new company with an exciting product, and we want a logo to match. Simple, clean designs that are high impact, thought provoking, and illustrate the product are some things that I'm looking for. Recognition is key: I want consumers to be able to see from the logo what the product is and how it works. This could be a creative embodiment of that concept. Maybe you'll feature the actual desk in use--attached to a steering wheel, or perhaps it will be a desk that actually appears to be "On the Go". The product is lightweight, portable, super easy to use; so try to avoid anything that is too "blocky" or heavy looking; a feeling of motion would be much better. I'm really looking forward to seeing your designs! Please take a look at a couple photos to get a better idea of how the product works: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot…directlink

HARRISONBURG, Va. (May 25, 2013) – Senior right-hander Mike Volpe threw his first career complete game and designated hitter Kurt Wertz drove in three runs as fourth-seeded Towson captured its first CAA Baseball Championship with a 5-2 victory over #2 William & Mary on Saturday afternoon at Veterans Memorial Park.
The Tigers (29-28) earn the league's automatic berth to the NCAA Baseball Championship, whose field will be announced on Monday afternoon. It is Towson's first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1991 and its third overall. William & Mary (37-22) will hope for an at-large berth to the NCAA's after a season in which it tied a school record for victories in a season.
Volpe (9-3) allowed just one hit and no runs over the final five innings and gave up seven hits for the game. He threw 139 pitches in the contest after a 133-pitch effort in the Tigers' victory over Northeastern in the opening game last Wednesday. Volpe struck out six and walked two.
Wertz finished 2-for-4, including a two-run triple off the right-field wall with two outs in the ninth that gave the Tigers their biggest lead of the game. Dominic Fratantuono was 3-for-4 with a home run in the victory, while Zach Fisher, Pat Fitzgerald and Brandon Gonnella contributed two hits apiece.
For William & Mary, second baseman Ryan Lindemuth was 3-for-4 with an RBI and run scored to cap an outstanding tournament performance. Lindemuth batted .647 (11-17) with four doubles, two homers, eight runs scored and 12 RBI over four games. Outfielders Jonathan Sarty and Ryan Brown also contributed a pair of hits in the game.
Pitcher Brett Koehler took the loss for the Tribe despite a solid effort. The right-hander gave up 11 hits but only three runs over 8.0 innings.
Both teams got off to quick starts offensively. Wertz smacked his team-leading 13th home run of the season to give Towson the lead in the top of the first. William & Mary responded with a run in the bottom of the frame as Brown lined a leadoff double to right center and scored on Lindemuth's two-out single.
The Tigers moved back in front in the second when Fratantuono lofted a solo homer over the right-field fence. The Tribe pulled even in the third after Lindemuth opened the frame with a double to left and scored when Sarty bounced a single into left.
In the fifth, Towson's Gonnella singled to right, moved around on an errant pickoff throw and a groundout, and scored on Fisher's RBI single up the middle that made it 3-2.
The Tigers created some breathing room for Volpe in the ninth. Gonnella and Fitzgerald each had singles, setting the stage for Wertz' line drive off the fence in right.
Fisher was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after batting .476 (10-21) with three homers, five runs scored and 10 RBI over four games. He was joined on the all-tournament squad by Towson teammates Volpe, Wertz, Fratantuono and Andrew Parker.
Named to the team from William & Mary were Lindemuth, Sarty, Michael Katz and William Shaw. Rounding out the team were UNCW pitcher Jordan Ramsey, JMU outfielder Cole McInturff and Northeastern shortstop Jason Vosler.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has resolved federal Safe Drinking Water Act cases against the Jazmin Family Trust, GLACS LLC and Hula Daddy Kona Coffee with fines totaling $141,200 for failing to close their large capacity cesspools on the Big Island.
"EPA remains steadfast in protecting Hawaii's vital water resources," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. "Over 2,800 large cesspools have been closed, but an alarming 1,200 are still in use. We are working to shut these illegal cesspools down."
The Jazmin Family Trust owns and operates the Kailua Vista Apartments in Kailua-Kona and received a penalty of $60,000 for continued operation of two large capacity cesspools at the apartment complex.
The two cesspools will be closed when the apartment building is connected to a proposed extension of the Hawaii County sewer system, expected by October 2013.
EPA penalized GLACS LLC $68,000 for operation of 10 large capacity cesspools, eight at the Pottery Terrace Commercial Properties and two at the Lenders Document Commercial Building in Kailua-Kona.
GLACS LLC closed all of the cesspools in June 2011. The company connected the Pottery Terrace properties to the local municipal sewer and installed a state-approved individual wastewater system at the Lenders Document building.
Hula Daddy Kona Coffee operates a visitor center and tasting room for a coffee plantation in Holualoa and received a penalty of $13,200 for installing a new cesspool after the April 5, 2000 ban on the construction of large capacity cesspools. The company built the facility and began operating the new cesspool in August 2008.
In September 2010, an EPA inspection and investigation prompted the owners to install a state-approved septic system, closing the cesspool in December 2010.
A large capacity cesspool discharges untreated sewage from multiple dwellings, or a non-residential location that serves 20 or more people per day. EPA regulations prohibited new large capacity cesspool construction after April 2000 and required closure of existing large cesspools as of April 2005. The regulations do not apply to single-family homes connected to their own individual cesspools.
Cesspools, which are used more widely in Hawaii than any other state, discharge raw sewage into the ground, where disease-causing pathogens and other contaminants can pollute groundwater, streams and the ocean. Large capacity cesspools are used by restaurants, hotels, office complexes, and multiple dwellings, such as duplexes, apartments and condominiums to dispose their sanitary waste.

Having trouble with this one...
Write a Java program that will distribute the total amount of money found in a piggy bank into the following currencies: half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. The distribution will begin with the largest currency and move downward to the smallest. The process will follow these steps:
1.) The program is to prompt the user for the currency found in the bank;
2a.) find the largest equivalent number of half dollars present in the total amount;
2b.) reduce the total amount of money by the value of the half dollar amount; proceed by repeated the above process (steps 2a and 2b, using the new remaining dollar amount) to find the largest equivalent number of quarters, then dimes, then nickels, and finally, the remaining pennies
3.) the program will then display the equivalent number of half dollars, quarters, then dimes, then nickels, and finally, the remaining pennies.
Sample program:
Please enter the total dollar amount in the piggy bank: $16.72
In $16.72 there are:
33 half dollar(s), 0 quarter(s), 2 dime(s), 0 nickel(s), and 2 cent(s).
The output must be exactly the same as that

Stunning Income Inequality Data of the Day
By Digby
Campaign for America's Future
May 3, 2012
Sure, this is healthy:
Between 1979 and 2005 (the latest data available
with these breakdowns), the share of total income
held by the top 1.0 percent more than doubled, from
9.7 percent to 21.0 percent, with most of the
increase occurring since 1993. The top 0.1 percent
led the way by more than tripling its income share,
from 3.3 percent to 10.3 percent. This 7.0
percentage-point gain in income share for the top
0.1 percent accounted for more than 60 percent of
the overall 11.2 percentage-point rise in the
income share of the entire top 1.0 percent.
The increases in income at the top were largely
driven by households headed by someone who was
either an executive or in the financial sector as
an executive or other worker. Households headed by
a non-finance executive were associated with 44
percent of the growth of the top 0.1 percent's
income share and 36 percent in the growth among the
top 1.0 percent. Those in the financial sector were
associated with nearly a fourth (23 percent) of the
expansion of the income shares of both the top 1.0
and top 0.1 percent. Together, finance and
executives accounted for 58 percent of the
expansion of income for the top 1.0 percent of
households and an even greater two-thirds share (67
percent) of the income growth of the top 0.1
percent of households.
The paper also presents new analysis of CEO
compensation based on our tabulations of Compustat
data. From 1978-2011, CEO compensation grew more
than 725 percent, substantially more than the stock
market and remarkably more than the annual
compensation of a typical private-sector worker,
which grew a meager 5.7 percent over this time
And to think think that these very same people are
whining and sniveling like little babies at the
smallest suggestion that we might want to even this out
just a tiny bit. They really are like the French

So it's been a pretty good summer for me. Lots of beer. Lots of BBQ/hamburgers. And lots more beer.
Despite being fairly active this summer I would like to drop 10 to 15 pounds. With winter on the way, I know my level of activity will drop as well, so I'm wondering if anyone on the forums here is interested in joining me on a little weight loss. Kind of like the 'year of no spending' on the main forum. We can post weekly weigh in results and generally support each other. Or as the case may be, mock each other when one of us decides to demolish an entire bag of Halloween candy. I do this. No joke.
Anyone interested? We can start Monday the 22nd, and I only pick that date because that's the first time I'll be home to weigh in on my home scale. Cheers.

WaPo Dives Into Nightly News With "The Fold" for Google TV
It's a difficult thing, being a bastion of traditional media. Classically print-centric institutions must innovate amid the changing media landscape, charged with changing their ways from paper-first mindsets to different digital mediums. We've seen this transition play out over the past few years into the Web space, and it's moving fast.
In this light, the Washington Post is launching "The Fold," a nightly newscast created specifically with Google TV and Android devices in mind.
It's essentially a 15-minute recap of that day's events, with an airtime of roughly 6 pm ET every evening, to capture the segment of the market that wants a curated summary of their news when they come home in the evening. Each show will be made up of features, hard news and analysis produced by a mix of new and existing WaPo staffers.
"While laptops and desktops are under siege because of today's mobile-first attitude, the lean-back, six-foot experience of the TV isn't going anywhere," Vijay Ravindran, chief digital officer of the Washington Post Company, told me in an interview. This is why, he said, the company is first targeting the Google TV set-top device market. As an added bonus, since Google TV is powered by the Android platform, WaPo's "Post TV" app is able to run on Android tablets, as well.
So yes, it's like a Webcast for nightly news — only for Android. The pitch, however, is that wrapping the experience into an app allows for some nimbleness not otherwise seen in a regular Web video production. For one, each segment within the app can be split off from the entire show and shared via Facebook or Twitter, bite-sized portions made more digestible for the frenetic flow of news and status updates that fly through our streams on a daily basis.
Cracking this space is, in part, some of the mission behind WaPo Labs, the company's experimental digital initiative, home to such products as Trove and Washington Post Social Reader, which are applications that rely on social and personalization features to deliver content tailored to users' personal tastes or, in the case of Social Reader, the top circulating content among friends.
The problem with Social Reader is that WaPo and others producing similar apps are left at the mercy of Facebook's News Feed for distribution. It's an app, and, as such, that app is modulated by the tweaks in Facebook's algorithms that determine how often you'll see the app activity amongst your friends. Many companies live and die by the feed, and recent news that Facebook is pulling away from this "passive sharing" app model may hurt Social Reader's distribution and activity.
"Everything is affected by the changes that Facebook makes," Ravindran said.
So "The Fold" and Post TV are something of a hedge between multiple platforms. Break your program up into chunks that detail segments like the campaign trail and a 59-second digest of the entire day's news, and it's more amenable to tweeting or a status update via social streams. Push out the app on Android to reach a widely distributed platform with a rapidly growing mobile market share. Add all of this content onto WaPo's own site to cross pollinate with the existing Web audience. And finally, attack the segment that still goes for the lean-back experience, by launching the Google TV application.
One issue, though: The Google TV audience just isn't there yet. Data made public in February suggests that there could be fewer than one million Google TV set-top boxes in living rooms across the country. Even across the industry, connected TV devices aren't fully taking off — while Apple has moved a few million Apple TV devices, it's far from a best-selling product for the company.
Ravindran and WaPo director of video Andy Pergam are hopeful, saying the market is still getting its legs.
"We feel that Google TV is on the upswing," Ravindran said. Price points are a challenge, he notes, but new products are arriving that could address this. Vizio's $100 set-top box is available on the cheap, while LG and Sony are attacking the high end with options that integrate Google's service directly into the TV set.
Ultimately, Ravindran and Pergam say it's a long-term bet for the company, as are the rest of WaPo's Labs initiatives.
"The Fold" will kick off it's first night with a bang, featuring an exclusive interview with Dr. Henry Kissinger, and will go up on the Post TV app at 6 pm ET.

- Princesa de Minaya saffron, Spain's best
- Classic yellow pestle, typical across Spain
- For grinding saffron into a powder
- Great addition to any kitchen
Saffron is one of the most prized flavors around the world, and we've discovered the very best! This precious thread-like spice is plucked by hand from tiny crocuses in La Mancha, an area recognized for its superior saffron. Grind a pinch with this mortar and pestle, and let it add a flowery perfume and golden color to any dish it touches. This spectacular set makes a wonderful addition to your kitchen!
Our artisanal saffron is a labor of love harvested by Maria Ángeles and Juan Antonio Serrano. On just ten acres, they grow crocuses, from which they collect the saffron when the flowers bloom. They prune and toast each day's harvest to preserve its pure crimson color and intense flavor. The family typically produces under 50 pounds per year, a tiny harvest of the highest quality.
Princesa de Minaya saffron is protected by the "Denomination of Origin La Mancha" label, a seal of approval for its quality and provenance. It's also awarded a "Category 1" in quality, the highest accolade for color and flavor.
To release the full flavor of saffron before adding it to paella or soup it is best to grind it into a fine powder, so we included a traditional mortar and pestle. Place the saffron into the ceramic mortar and crush it with the beechwood pestle. With its durable food-safe glaze and smooth wood pestle, this tool is also indispensable for crushing peppercorns, spices and sauces.
With this kit, you can give the gift of the world's most prized spice, or bring it into your home. Once you taste a dish perfumed with saffron, you'll understand its allure!
Sizes for the items included in this collection are as follows: saffron - 0.035 oz and mortar and pestle - 4.5 inches wide x 2.5 inches tall.

Customer Reviews
"El producto esta bien en si pero el color esta bastante feo."
Renee - Buena Park, California January 2013
"Rating is of the mortar & pestle(!). If it is the one in the photo, it is great. This is the 'classic' one that is most commonly found in Spanish kitchens. I've used many different ones, and this is by far my favorite. It is very solid with a hard glazed finish."
E. - Wiesbaden, Germany, ------ December 2012

A bit earlier than normal, but for the seventh time since BCP started back in 2007, the holiday season is again almost upon us. From myself and everyone involved in BCP I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy a prosperous new year to come.
Hopefully next year will be one that will finally see us at least starting to play a decent game together properly for the first time in way too long.
I'll drink to that!

Mumbai: Does coffee house enlightenment bring prostitution?
Posted by TheShot on 31 May 2006 | Tagged as: Café Society, Foreign Brew
In the world of espresso, India may be known for its Monsooned Malabar and premium robusta beans — both of which are excellent components of an espresso blend (and these beans often make it into the roasts I make at home). But with globalization and the resulting growth in India's middle class, India has developed into a prime, modern example of a coffee producing nation that is rapidly transforming into a coffee consuming one.
Although India is still primarily known for its tea, its exploding commerce districts have brought an infiltration of coffee houses and new coffee addicts. Unfortunately, these great changes have also brought elements of social anxiety and unintended consequences. A much-publicized example is the recent police crackdown on a few major coffee houses in Mumbai, which are rumored to be prime meeting places to solicit prostitutes: DNA – Mumbai – A prostitute can sip coffee at a café: Top lawyer – Daily News & Analysis.
In another article, the same publication, which defines Mumbai as having an inherent coffee culture, goes for the man-in-the-street opinion on the issue: Do we need filter for coffee?

(written from a Production point of view)
After a devastating attack on Earth by an alien probe of unknown origin, Enterprise is recalled and sent into a strange expanse on a new, more vital mission. (Season finale)
High above the planet Earth, an alien probe seemingly appears out of nowhere. The probe descends toward the planet below and comes to a stop above Earth's atmosphere. It fires an energy blast at the western continents from Florida, North America, to Venezuela, South America, that cuts a swath of destruction across the planet's surface. When its task is complete, the probe self-destructs, with one component falling towards Earth.
Act OneEdit
On the Klingon homeworld, Qo'noS, in an organized gathering inside the Klingon High Council Chamber, the Council meets with Duras, son of Toral. The Klingon Chancellor is infuriated that Duras allowed Starfleet Captain Jonathan Archer to escape from imprisonment on two occasions. As a result of his failure to permanently secure Archer, Duras was dishonored by the Klingon Empire. When the Chancellor informs Duras that the High Council is providing him with a chance to regain both his command and his honor, Duras assures the Council he will succeed.
In the briefing room aboard Enterprise NX-01, Archer solemnly tells his senior staff the news that a probe has attacked Earth and cut a swath 4,000 kilometers long between Florida and Venezuela. Enterprise has been recalled by Starfleet Command. Although the journey back to Earth will be long, Helmsman Travis Mayweather complies with Archer's instruction to set a course for the planet at maximum warp.
Worried about his younger sister, Elizabeth, an architect who lives in Florida, Chief Engineer Charles "Trip" Tucker enters the Captain's ready room. Unfortunately, Archer has not been told the specific areas of the American state the probe attacked. Sub-Commander T'Pol enters the room and reports that a Vulcan transport found a pod from the alien probe in central Asia. The transport brought the pod to Starfleet Headquarters, where it was studied. Starfleet has discovered that the probe was operated by an unidentified pilot, who was killed on impact.
While the officers continue to discuss the situation, eight Suliban vessels approach Enterprise at high warp and surround the ship. On the bridge, Lieutenant Reed activates the tactical alert, but three Suliban soldiers board Enterprise and kidnap the Captain. They take him to one of their ships, where Archer meets with his arch-nemesis, Silik. Archer accuses him of the attack on Earth, but the Suliban agent claims he was not involved and has no knowledge of the incident. Instead, Silik takes the Captain to his leader – a man from the future who can only project his image through time and not participate in events directly.
In a temporal chamber, the figure claims that the alien probe was launched by a race known as the Xindi, who were told that their homeworld would be destroyed by Humans four hundred years in the future. The figure explains that the Xindi were informed of their planet's annihilation by another faction in the Temporal Cold War that can communicate through time. According to the mysterious figure, the probe was only a prototype for a much bigger and more powerful weapon that the Xindi are currently building. They plan to use the weapon to destroy Earth and eradicate the Humans before they can cause the destruction of the Xindi planet. The figure implies that, in his time period, history does not record Earth's destruction in the 22nd century. However, if the planet is destroyed, the disaster will contaminate the timeline.
The Captain is soon returned to his ship, where he tells T'Pol of the figure's story. The Vulcan doubts the recounted explanation but Archer asks for her support. He fears that her skepticism could lead him to mistrust the man, who might be telling him the truth.
- "Captain's starlog – April 24, 2153. The journey home has been very difficult. We've now learned that over seven million people were lost."
On Enterprise's bridge, Ensign Mayweather sees Earth's sun, Sol, on the main viewscreen. He shows Archer the spectacle shortly before Lieutenant Reed notes that a ship has dropped out of warp nearby. T'Pol is unable to identify the craft, which opens fire on Enterprise.
In space, a Klingon Bird-of-Prey continues its attack as it swoops over the Starfleet vessel's hull.
Act TwoEdit
As the battle proceeds, T'Pol finally identifies the attacking ship. Since Enterprise loses both forward phase cannons, Archer orders the deployment of spatial torpedoes but the weapons cause insignificant damage. The Klingon ship retaliates with a destructive volley of torpedoes that detonate on contact with Enterprise's starboard nacelle, causing plasma to leak out into space.
When the Klingon ship sends a message to Enterprise demanding Archer's personal surrender so that honor may be regained, the captain realizes that Duras is commanding the Bird-of-Prey.
Suddenly, a series of explosions erupt on the Starfleet vessel's bridge as the ship's nacelles are crippled. Seizing his opportunity to secure Archer, Duras issues orders to stop the attack and to prepare a boarding party. However, three Earth vessels, including the starship Intrepid, suddenly appear and destroy the Klingon ship's third and fourth disruptor banks. In furious frustration, Duras reluctantly withdraws from the battle.
The Intrepid's commanding officer, Captain Ramirez, contacts Enterprise and welcomes the crew home, implying that he feels sorry the situation is so bleak.
As Enterprise orbits Earth, T'Pol, Hoshi Sato, Mayweather, Archer, and Reed contemplate the devastation that the alien probe caused. The officers gaze dishearteningly at the burned zone on the main viewscreen. Commander Tucker, wracked with worry, diverts his attention away from the image.
In Starfleet Headquarters on Earth, Admiral Forrest and Vulcan Ambassador Soval notify Archer that both Starfleet and the Vulcan High Command doubt the mysterious figure's story. The Captain urges Forrest to assign Enterprise the mission of searching for the Xindi. However, Soval reveals that the Xindi's homeworld is in the Delphic Expanse, a dangerous region of space where many Vulcan ships have gone missing. Archer likens the area to Earth's Bermuda Triangle, but Soval adds that the region is also rumored to hold several hostile alien species and inexplicable phenomena, and that in some areas of the expanse, even the laws of physics do not apply. The Vulcan is definite in his belief that the mission should not be authorized. When Forrest suggests that sufficient evidence may persuade Starfleet to authorize Archer's plan, the captain admits that the mysterious figure provided him with proof.
The three men enter another room, where the wreckage of the alien probe remains. The captain removes a concealed component from the rubble and uses the quantum dating function of two scanners to demonstrate that the component is from the future. Although Soval is unwilling to acknowledge the evidence, as Vulcans do not believe time travel is possible, Forrest states that he plans to talk with Starfleet Command, apparently believing the captain's proof. With Forrest's authorization, Archer walks over to a secured freezer unit and looks inside. The unit contains a frozen alien corpse that the captain analyzes with a scanner. When Soval asks Archer if he believes the alien is a Xindi, the captain replies that he intends to find out.While Enterprise is docked in one of Earth's orbital drydock facilities, Archer enters sickbay. There, Dr. Phlox introduces the captain to a male Vulcan doctor named Fer'at. The Vulcan is apparently present to analyze Archer's exposure to traces of pyritic radiation found in the alien probe. As Fer'at questions the captain, Phlox uses a nearby console to access the Vulcan database. He is enraged when he learns that Fer'at is actually a psychiatric analyst sent to examine Archer's mental state, in hopes of discrediting his theory. Following Archer's instruction, Phlox leaves sickbay with Fer'at and accompanies the Vulcan to an airlock.
Meanwhile, Reed and Tucker visit Florida where the alien attack cut through Tucker's hometown. The two officers look out across a narrow valley where "the house" once stood. Tucker shows Reed where a nearby movie theater was, and recalls that he used to take Elizabeth there when she was a little girl. Tucker solemnly states that Elizabeth would have contacted someone if she were still alive, believing that the fact she hasn't is proof that she died in the attack.
Act ThreeEdit
- "Captain's starlog, supplemental. After days of debate, Starfleet's finally informed me that we're to proceed with our new mission."
Inside an inspection pod, Archer and Forrest survey the starship Columbia, the second NX-class spacecraft to be built. Incomplete, the vessel is under construction in another orbital drydock. Forrest hopes that Enterprise will have returned long before Columbia's launch in fourteen months. The Admiral notifies Archer that the new vessel will have the same armament as Enterprise, once the prototype NX-class starship is completely retrofitted. Archer reveals that he notified his crew of their new mission in the morning, although several officers have decided to leave the ship. When the Captain admits that he spoke to General Casey several hours ago, Forrest remarks that he was surprised at Archer's request for military personnel. The Captain responds that he doesn't have a problem with non-Starfleet officers and that security will be of vital importance in the Delphic Expanse. Although Forrest worries that the mysterious figure did not reveal where to look in the Delphic Expanse, or when the alien weapon will be ready, Archer believes that the figure warned him because Enterprise still has enough time to stop the aliens from destroying Earth.
Aboard Enterprise, T'Pol enters sickbay and finds Doctor Phlox. She asks whether he is sure of his decision to remain aboard the ship. According to the Vulcan, Crewman Fuller just informed her that a shuttle carrying two hundred snow beetles is on its way. Although Phlox suggests that the beetles might be for his replacement, T'Pol is certain that any doctor in Starfleet would be completely unsure of how to use them. The Denobulan smiles and asks T'Pol if she will also be staying on the ship. She replies that the Vulcan High Command has forbidden her from entering the Delphic Expanse. When Phlox asks T'Pol what she wants to do, the Vulcan states that she must obey the High Command. However, the Doctor reminds her that she has not always acted in accordance with the High Command's orders. Phlox contemplates their decision of whether to leave the ship, revealing that he found the choice an easy one to make. He believes that T'Pol will have greater difficulty in deciding whether to leave, as her choice will indicate her allegiance to Archer or to the Vulcan High Command. A female ensign enters sickbay, moving a large white case into the room. T'Pol thanks Phlox for his help and follows the ensign out of sickbay.
In the starship's armory, Reed shows Commander Tucker a stack of photonic torpedoes, advanced weaponry installed for the vessel's change of mission. The torpedoes have a variable yield and a range fifty times greater than the old spatial torpedoes. Reed tells Trip that three teams of security officers are working on adapting the torpedo tubes and have promised that they will have completed the task by the time Enterprise leaves spacedock. The lieutenant adds that he has to start integrating the weapons into the vessel's power grid. He then leaves the armory with Tucker.
Back in San Francisco, Soval shows Forest, Archer and T'Pol disturbing imagery from a previous Vulcan mission to the Delphic Expanse. Grainy imagery from the Vaankara shows how the Vulcan crew lost control of their emotions. They are savagely attacking each other with their bare hands. Soval says that less than an hour after the transmission were recorded, the ship was destroyed, without "indication of malfunction or an attack". Despite Starfleet's acquiescence to Archer's new mission, Soval remains firm in his opposition.
Outside fleet headquarters, Soval has a private conversation with T'Pol. He discusses her imminent assignment at the Ministry of Information on Vulcan. He assumes that because the Vulcan High Command has opposed Starfleet in this matter, she has been de facto recalled. T'Pol, however, reacts strongly against being pulled from Enterprise. She argues that there is still a need for Vulcan assistance. As her words fail to sway Soval, she flirts with insubordination, saying that it should be up to her whether or not to stay on Enterprise.
After returning to Enterprise, Archer has one last conversation with Forrest. He informs the Admiral that Soval has given him permission to take T'Pol back to Vulcan on the way to the Delphic Expanse. Forrest wishes Archer luck on his mission. A few hours later, Enterprise departs spacedock with her repairs and upgrades complete.
Meanwhile, Duras detects Enterprise heading for Vulcan and tells his weapons officer to "charge weapons, and prepare to bring them online".
Act FourEditAs Enterprise hurtles towards Vulcan, Tucker and his Captain are sleepless in the middle of the night. They are sharing a drink to the past and future. They toast Henry Archer and his warp engine, which is now the major technology standing between the Xindi weapon and Earth's future. As they imbibe more, though, the conversation turns increasingly dark. They briefly touch on how much they're going to miss T'Pol, but Tucker quickly sees the virtue of her absence. No longer will they be tied to "that non-interference crap T'Pol's always shoving down our throats". Tucker and Archer agree that they'll do "whatever we have to" to spare Earth from annihilation by the Xindi.
Duras interrupts their discussion with a second attack. As Archer reaches the bridge, he gives Reed the green light to use the new photonic torpedoes. An initial, low-yield hit fails to shake their pursuers, so Archer tells Reed to bring up the yield. This second volley temporarily disables the Klingons. Archer believes that Enterprise now has the ability to make it to Vulcan space before the Klingon ship can catch up with them. He hopes that the threat of Vulcan reinforcements will be enough to make Duras break off his attack.
As Enterprise continues on course to Vulcan, T'Pol has a conversation with Archer in his ready room. He tries to remind her of all the problems she's had adjusting to life on board a Human vessel, but she dismisses his attempts to cheer her about the virtues of returning home. Ultimately, she announces that she intends to resign her Vulcan commission, and asks to remain aboard Enterprise. Archer is surprised, and wonders why she would be willing to throw away her career for Enterprise. She insists that he needs her at the science station. Archer considers her statement silently, then exits to the bridge. There, he moves to his command chair and orders Mayweather to alter course to the head directly to Delphic Expanse. The bridge officers understand this means no stopping at Vulcan; T'Pol will remain a part of the Enterprise crew.
- "Captain's starlog – supplemental. We've been travelling at Warp 5 for seven weeks. The crew is anxious to begin our mission."
The Enterprise is now close to the border of the Expanse. The size of the Expanse, however, makes the area seem much closer than it really is. At a million kilometers distance (only seconds away at warp speed), Archer orders Mayweather to enter the thermobaric clouds which mark the border at a slow impulse speed.
After travelling inside the clouds for six hours, the crew begins to express impatience at not making contact with anything on the scanners. Suddenly, they pick up three distinct signals, belonging to Duras' three ships. They open fire on Enterprise, but have difficulty hitting the ship due to interference from the clouds. Duras orders his ship to get closer to Enterprise to give his targeting scanners a better chance of success.
As the shots now begin to hit Enterprise, Tucker notes that Archer had said the Klingons wouldn't enter the Expanse. Archer points out that they aren't actually in the Expanse yet. He then puts the ship at full impulse to evade their pursuers. Tucker objects, citing the stress the clouds are putting on the intake manifolds. Archer overrules him.
Duras hails and orders Enterprise to come about and prepare to be boarded. Archer cuts the communication. T'Pol announces that she detects clear space close by. Because he now understands that Duras wanted Enterprise to come about to avoid entering the Expanse, Archer repeats his order to increase speed.Archer then wonders why the new photonic torpedoes aren't having the same effect they did in the earlier battle. Reed notes that Duras has changed the configuration of his deflector shields such that they're all concentrated on the forward section of his ship.
Archer then orders Mayweather to perform an L-4 maneuver, so that they can orient Enterprise toward the unprotected part of Duras' ship. In the meantime, two of the three Klingon vessels break off their attack for fear of entering the Expanse.
Now with just one Bird-of-Prey in pursuit, Mayweather is able to do a hard vertical roll, which neatly places Enterprise aft of Duras. Reed concentrates his torpedoes on the unprotected part of the Klingon vessel, and the craft is easily destroyed.
Enterprise emerges from the thermobaric clouds at about the same time, whereupon Archer gives a final order: "Straight and steady, Mr. Mayweather. Let's see what's in there."
Memorable quotes Edit
"Twice! Twice he's been captured, and twice he's escaped! Our Magistrate should never have shown him mercy. He should've been executed for his crimes!"
"You had a simple mission, Duras. Locate the rebels that Archer was harboring and return them to the Empire. But you failed, and Archer made a fool of you."
"We are offering you a chance to regain your command, and your honor."
"I will not fail."
- - Klingon Chancellor, Klingon Councillor and Duras, referring to Jonathan Archer
"Our Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible."
- - Vulcan Ambassador Soval, to Captain Archer and Admiral Forrest
"To Henry Archer. I wonder what he would have thought if he knew his engine was going to help save the Human race?"
- - Tucker, toasting Captain Archer's father
"When I got this job, commanding the first warp five ship was about as big a responsibility as I could have imagined. Then we began running into so many... bad guys, and I had to start thinking more about the safety of 83 people."
"And now the stakes have gotten a lot bigger."
"Weight of the world, Trip."
- - Archer and Tucker
"It's not my place to disobey the High Command."
"Nonsense. You've done it before."
- - T'Pol and Phlox
"It's interesting, you and I, the only aliens on board this vessel. To go or to stay. For me it was a simple question of loyalty towards the captain, and the sad realization that he will need me now more than ever on such crucial mission. But for you, it's a more difficult decision. Does your allegiance lie with the High Command or with Captain Archer?"
- - Phlox, advising T'Pol on what to do
"I'm gonna need all the muscle I can get when we cross into the Expanse."

- - Duras and Jonathan Archer
"Straight and steady, Mr. Mayweather. Let's see what's in there."

Deleted scenes Edit
Scenes 43 - 44 Edit
Archer walks the streets of San Francisco and enters a Chinese Restaurant. Talking with the maitre d', Tommy, he notices that the place is a little empty because people are preferring to stay home since the Xindi Attack. Archer then asks about a woman, Tommy says that she is here but he is late.
Archer apologizes to her about his delay and she asks if he is on Earth because of the attack. Archer says nothing but she understands that the attack is the reason he's on Earth, and asks how long he will be home. He replies that he wishes the time was longer because he was hoping to spend some time with her. She asks if Starfleet knows the identity and the reasons of the attacker. Archer says that little is known but not enough, and because of the attack, he will probably be gone for a long time – and reveals the name of the lady: Becky. Becky says that he has been gone for a long time before, and what she will do if she finds out that he has a girl in every spaceport – but before she can finish, Archer strokes her cheek and they share a kiss.
She says that he supposes that she will invite him to her apartment. Archer asks how his chances are. She opens a fortune cookie and says that he is lucky.
Scene 44A Edit
Archer enters Sato's quarters and notices that she is dressed in civilian clothes and packing up some things. He asks how the talk with her folks went. Sato says she thinks that she needs to brush up on her Japanese. Archer doubts that and notes that Enterprise got new upgrades for the universal translator. Sato replies that it can make things a lot easier. Archer says that the universal translator will never replace a linguist with a magical ear, but Sato replies that her ear is not so magical. Archer, feeling embarrassed, says that is a matter of opinion.
Sato puts a book on the shelf, Languages of the Sub-Sahara, and Archer is surprised that she will leave that one here. Sato says she has not read it yet, and Archer asks why she's not taking it with her. Sato replies that she's sending the packed books to her mother to give her more shelf space because a lot has been written about alien languages since they left Earth, and the clothes are also going back to her mother because she thought it was time to upgrade her civvies.
Archer laughs and reveals that he was thinking that she was leaving Enterprise before the Xindi Mission. Sato asks why, and Archer replies how she is more of an academic teacher. She interrupts and asks if that means that she is not capable of handling herself during the new mission. Archer tells her that was not was what he meant. Sato replies that she does not know what is inside the Delphic Expanse, but she thinks to have proven that she can handle herself in difficult situations and that she can provide some help along the way, if Archer wants her. He smiles and tells her he wouldn't want it any other way.
Background informationEdit
- The final draft script of this episode was issued on 20 May 2003.
- When completed, the episode came in ten minutes too long, resulting in the editing out of several scenes. A subplot featuring Archer's previously unmentioned love interest was removed entirely, while a scene dealing with Hoshi Sato's decision to remain aboard ship despite the risks was also cut.
- The episode marked the end of the second season of Star Trek: Enterprise, and the beginning of the Xindi arc in which the crew search for the Xindi weapon.
- This marks the first time photonic torpedoes are used on a Starfleet ship.
- This episode marks the final appearance of the Humanoid Figure a.k.a. Future Guy (James Horan) and the death of Duras (Daniel Riordan).
- Bruce Wright previously played Sarish Rez in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Crossfire".
- While Archer is digging through the wreckage of the Xindi probe, he picks up an item and determines that it's from the future. It truly is, as it is the reuse of Quark's cloaking device in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Profit and Loss".
- The stasis tube in which the Xindi-Reptillian corpse is stored is a re-use of the lower half of one of the growing racks from USS Voyager's Airponics bay, specifically, the one with the drawer in which future-Kes hid the younger Kes in "Fury".
- This episode marks the last appearance of Admiral Maxwell Forrest (Vaughn Armstrong) until the fourth season episode "Home".
- This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series. Dennis McCarthy's music composition also received an Emmy nomination.
- When Enterprise is battling the Klingons in the thermobarric clouds, Archer wants to go to full impulse – but Tucker says that the manifolds are having a tough time as it is. This mirrors a similar scene in Star Trek: Insurrection when Riker wants to go to full impulse in the Briar Patch, but La Forge tells him that the manifolds can't handle it.
- The scene where Enterprise NX-01 leaves the drydock reused the footage from "Broken Bow", when the ship first launched.
- The book Star Trek 101, by Terry J. Erdmann and Paula M. Block, lists this episode as one of the "Ten Essential Episodes" from Star Trek: Enterprise.
- The distance from Florida to Venezuela is only 2700 kilometers, and no part of Venezuela is directly south of Florida. Moreover, one shot shows a line that extends south from Florida across the Isthmus of Panama, implying either an oversight on the part of the show's creators or differences in region names between the real-world Earth and Enterprise's 2153.

In June 2010, a teaser trailer for the title track from 30 Seconds to Mars' second single from their album This is War was released onto Youtube showing the band decked out in military gear and carrying weapons, as inspired by the song's central theme of war and peace. For almost a year, the very fate of that video was unknown and fans anxiously waited for any news about it. The wait, however, is now over.
On April 1st, the band, and through their social media sites, asked all their fans to refrain from watching any leaked videos and that they would be posting the official clip very soon. That came true on April 6th, when the full-fledged video was uploaded to their Vevo channel, and has already managed to garner an impressive number of views.
After watching it extensively over the past few days, here's what I like and do not like about the video. [SPOILER ALERTS]
- Where are Shannon and Tomo exactly? Although they're in the video, it's at rare instances that you see their faces, and even then, they're wearing sunglasses/goggle. I would've loved to see more of them because the dynamic that this trio have-in terms of their music-is beyond incredible.
- Where do all the flying objects come from? I know I know, this all serves an eventual purpose, but it just seems so random!
They're in a very deserted area and out of nowhere, tanks d are flying. This would've been so much more believable if we see whose launching these things at them. I know most, if not all, of the Echelon would've loved to play a small part in the video.
- The typeface. I can tell its a Bartholomew Cubbins "movie" just by the lettering he uses in the historical scene. He doesn't have to include the opening or end credits for us to know that it's his work of art. For those of you who don't know, Bartholomew Cubbins is nothing but a pseudonym for Jared Leto. On a side note, this isn't a Cubbins film, but rather was directed by Edouard Salier- something that Leto isn't keen on repeating in the future.
- Why is there a censored and uncensored version? Unlike Hurricane, where an uncensored version for the more sensitive/conservative viewers was needed,there's nothing in This is War that needs censoring, not even blood.
- The theme. Definitely spot-on. For a song with such powerful lyrics and obvious discontent at the state of the world, there would've been no better theme to use than fighting in Afghanistan. Although, I do have a hard time believing that pretty-boy Jared would ever be engaged in such kind of combat.
The historical shots. Because the issue is so contemporary, it would completely make sense to use images and clips from the huge historical archive available. What I like the most about this is that it's very blunt, like putting the image of George W. Bush with the words "moment to lie" set on it. There's no doubt about what the group thinks about the state of current affairs.
- Incorporating little elements: If you look very closely, you'll see that each of the helmets has a little inscription it. Jared's has This is War, the name of the album and the very song, Tomo has the very inventive Mars logo, while Shannon has L490, the one track on the album he wrote, and also says that in the short break from the song scene. No real idea what it signifies, but if you do, do tell!
- The cinematography. Wow! This is a common thread in all of Mars' videos- they're just a spectacle. Whether it's the chilling Hurricane, the inspiring Kings+Queens, or the for-the-fans Closer to the Edge, there's always something that draws you into their videos. Here, they take something so bare as a battleground and turn into more than just an area of discourse and disruption: it's more of a beautiful chaos. In the end, the coming together of the triad and the guys observing it, it's only a thing you can fully comprehend if you watch the entire video.
These are my thoughts on this video. I am very much enjoying the whole 30 Seconds to Mars fandom, especially when they're making such great videos (excluding the very strange but beautifully shot Hurricane). I only wonder what they're going to do next.
