Two episodes into Season 3 of "The Walking Dead" and we, the living "walkers," are multiplying faster than the dead ones on the show.
That means that "Dead" has become the No. 1 non-sports TV show in the 18-49 age group, which is the only age category that TV suits un-die for.
Didn't I tell you from day one that the series was the best thing since sliced dead?
The interesting thing about these viewer numbers is that it proves that regular Joes are smarter than those big-bucks smarty-pants big-shot Hollywood suits who snub their noses at the show because they think it's low-brow and not sexy enough for their sophisticated tastes. Yeah, well their sophisticated tastes — especially this season — have produced too many massive bores that are tanking.
The whole conundrum has network execs scratching their shaved heads in bewilderment.
They need to wake up and smell the blood.
Have you noticed that every network show is trying to ape cable's hard-core sex by opening their premieres with a gratuitous sex scene of insanely good-looking 20-somethings in their underwear rolling around a bed or bumping up against a sink. They think that's what the coveted target audience wants.
Meantime, a show with no sex — gratuitous or otherwise — is, er, killing them.
OK, so Lori did have sex with Shane. And then with Rick. But it ended badly with Shane going all zombie on their asses.
It's not about sex, it's about good storytelling.
And good storytelling is no more about sex than "Dead" is about disgusting, disintegrating zombies — although I defy anyone else to use intestines as decorative neckwear.
While shows like "666 Park Avenue" were handing us a bunch of unscary bull, "Dead" was keeping us glued to our sofas in trancelike fear.
I'm therefore calling upon all "Dead Heads" to join together in a mass "up yours" to the Emmys that snubbed it and the Hollywood snobs who ignore it.
Let's all throw up our middle fingers at 8:59 next Sunday night before the start of the show.
With any luck, a lot of those fingers will fly off and head towards Hollywon't, a town with more fake body parts per capita than Atlanta on zombie extras day.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than a dozen advocacy groups are urging President Barack Obama to include mentally disabled workers in his call to raise the federal minimum wage for employees of government contractors.
The groups, including the National Organization on Disability and the National Down Syndrome Congress, said Tuesday they are concerned that Obama's plan for an executive order raising wages to $10.10 an hour won't cover many disabled people who now earn less than the current federal minimum of $7.25 an hour.
Thousands of disabled workers are employed by government contractors under a federal program that allows companies to pay a subminimum wage to those with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
"We believe that all Americans should be afforded minimum wage protections, including those workers with disabilities," the groups said in a letter to Obama and Labor Secretary Thomas Perez.
A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Under a law that has been in place since 1938, employers can seek permission from the Labor Department to operate sheltered workshops where disabled employees are segregated from other workers and paid less than minimum wage — as little as pennies an hour. About 420,000 disabled are employed in sheltered workshops around the country, though advocacy groups estimate that less than 50,000 work for government contractors.
Wages for these workers are a fraction of the minimum wage, calculated based on comparing their productivity level to that of a nondisabled worker. Qualifying companies that hire disabled workers get a preference when it comes to federal contract awards and Medicaid funds to pay for support services for the employees.
Disability rights groups have tried for years to end the program, calling it a relic from a time when disabled people were treated with little respect or dignity. They say a White House order that at least raises wages of federal contract workers who are disabled would be a step in the right direction.
But in a conference call with advocacy groups last week, White House officials indicated the executive order was unlikely to include disabled workers earning less than the minimum wage, said Ari Ne'eman, president of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network.
"We're trying to get them to reverse their position on that," Ne'eman said. "They were of the position that they do not have the legal authority to do this. Our position is that they do."
Obama's executive order is expected cover about 10 percent of the 2.2 million federal contract workers overall, since most of those employees already make more than $10.10. It won't take effect until 2015 at the earliest and won't affect existing federal contracts, only new ones.

Brief Synopsis
The invasion of Mexico by Cortez, as seen by a young Spanish officer fleeing the Inquisition.
Near Jaen, Spain, in the year 1518, young nobleman Pedro de Vargas is riding through the countryside when he encounters Diego de Silva in pursuit of a runaway slave. Pedro offers to help search for the runaway, and while scouring the hills, he is attacked by the slave, Coatl. As soon as Coatl recognizes Pedro as an old friend, however, he desists, then shows Pedro the scars he bears from the cruel de Silva's whip and declares that he would choose death over surrender. After helping Coatl escape, Pedro rescues tavern girl Catana Pérez from the unwanted attentions of two of de Silva's men and gives her a ride back to the Rosario Inn, where she works. There Pedro meets Juan García, who regales him with fantastic tales of his travels to the Indies and kingdoms filled with mountains of gold. Juan accompanies Pedro back to Jaen, where Pedro tells his family about the new land. Pedro is interrupted by the appearance of de Silva, a champion of the Inquisition. When Pedro's father, Don Francisco, denounces the Inquisition as evil, de Silva insults Pedro by insinuating that he shared a dalliance with Catana. Later that evening, Pedro visits his sweetheart, Luisa de Carvajal, to pledge his love. After Pedro leaves the Caravajal house, Catana and her brother Manuel warn him that his father, mother and young sister Mercedes have been charged with heresy and imprisoned to face the Inquisition and that he is to be next. Desperate, Pedro turns to Luisa' s father, the Marquis de Carvajal, for advice. When the Marquis, who believes the Inquisition to be just, counsels Pedro to give himself up, Pedro angrily insults him and then leaves. Afterward, Pedro is captured and brought before de Silva, whom he defiantly accuses of cowardice. When Francisco refuses to confess to heresy, Pedro watches helplessly as de Silva condemns Mercedes to torture that results in her death. Juan, who has infiltrated the prison walls to put his mother, a victim of the Inquisition, out of her misery, later slips into Pedro's cell, arms him with a sword and offers to help him and his parents escape. Before Pedro can depart, however, de Silva enters the cell to torment him. Brandishing his sword, Pedro duels de Silva, and after disarming him, forces him to renounce God, then plunges his blade into de Silva's chest. Juan, Pedro and his parents then join Catana and Manuel, who are waiting with horses outside to aid in their escape. To deceive the pursuing soldiers, the group divides. Juan, Pedro and Catana ride into the hills while the de Vargas follow Manuel to the coast, where a ship awaits to take them to Italy. The next day, the Marquis informs Luisa that Pedro has attacked de Silva in cold blood and tells her that he has pledged her hand in marriage to de Silva, who will recover from his wounds. In the mountains, meanwhile, Catana watches jealously as Pedro fondles the handkerchief that Luisa gave him at their last meeting. When Juan learns that Hernán Cortéz is mounting an armada in Cuba to explore the Indies, he urges Pedro to enlist rather than sail to Italy to meet his parents. Eager to join the expedition to the new world and a new life, Catana convinces Pedro to join them. At Havana harbor, as Pedro enlists in Cortéz' army, Cortéz overhears him give his family name and introduces himself as an old friend of his father. Cortéz then presents Pedro to Juan Escudero and Diego Cermeño, representatives of the Cuban governor, and to the company's chaplain, Father Bartolomé. Believing that he has killed de Silva, Pedro confesses his crime to the priest, who then shows Pedro an order for his arrest. After declaring that he is not in sympathy with the Inquisition, the priest tears up the document, but does not tell him that de Silva is alive, and gives Pedro a penance to perform for his his sin: a vow to pray for de Silva's salvation.
Upon reaching Villa Rica on the East coast of Mexico, the expedition is met by representatives from the Aztec emperor, Montezuma, who offer Cortéz gold to proceed no farther and return to his own country. When Escudero reminds Cortéz that they have come to trade and not to colonize, Cortéz voices his determination to conquer the land at any cost. Catana, who has fallen deeply in love with Pedro, bargains with Botello, a charlatan and seer, for a magic totem to make Pedro return her love. After Botello gives her a magic ring in exchange for an extra portion of meat, Pedro passionately dances with her, proclaims his love and insists they marry that night. When Cortéz advances on Cempoala, Montezuma sends more gifts and requests that he turn back. After Cortéz assigns Pedro to guard the treasure, Pedro leaves his post one night to save the drunken Juan from being shot. During his absence, a bag of gems is stolen and Cortéz gives Pedro one day to recover them or face death by hanging. Pedro tracks the thieves, Cermeño and Escudero, to a galleon on the harbor, from which they are planning to sail to Cuba and enlist the aid of the governor in defeating Cortéz. After he is discovered and taken prisoner, Pedro is helped to escape by the ship's captain. Gravely wounded during the escape, Pedro is in danger of bleeding to death when Botello cauterizes his wound and saves him. With the jewels returned, Cortéz promotes Pedro to captain, then orders the destruction of all the ships to prevent further communication with Cuba. The expedition continues to the outskirts of Cholulu, where another ambassador, a nephew of Montezuma, comes with a large army bearing more gifts and a warning that the Gods are predicting war if Cortéz remains. In reply, Cortéz blasts an idol atop a temple with his cannon and declares that he cannot leave because he has no ships. Informed that eighteen ships have just arrived in Villa Rica, Cortéz pretends that they are enforcements, although he realizes that they have been sent from Cuba to attack him. After ordering half his troops to hold off the Aztecs, Cortéz leads the other half in a siege against the Cubans. Before leaving, Cortéz takes five Aztecs hostage and puts Pedro in charge of them. One night, as Pedro passes the building housing the hostages, Coatl, who has returned to his people, steps out of the shadows. After chastising Pedro for invading his country, Coatl tells Pedro that he would give his life for him, but if Pedro harms his people, he will fight him. Afterward, Catana tells Juan that she is carrying Pedro's child. Some time later, Cortéz returns from defeating the Cubans, bringing with him de Silva, the head of the Inquisition. When de Silva accuses Juan of killing his own mother, Juan explains that he was trying to spare her from being burned at the stake. Cortéz orders Juan's arrest, and de Silva informs Pedro, who has promised Father Bartolomé to keep his vow, that he has married Luisa and bears a grievance against him. To forestall a confrontation, Cortéz places de Silva under Pedro's protection. When de Silva is found strangled, Pedro, although innocent, is arrested. On the night that he is to hang, Catana visits Pedro in his cell and he instructs her to join his parents in Italy. Meanwhile, Coatl confesses to Father Bartolomé that he killed de Silva. To spare Pedro from suffering and dishonorable death, Catana stabs him just as the priest arrives with news that Pedro is a free man. Pedro survives, however, and soon takes his place at Cortéz' side. As the troops prepare to advance against Montezuma, Father Bartolomé exhorts them to go forward not as conquerors, but as men of God because all men are created according to God's plan. As Pedro rides off, Catana and their newborn son march behind, proud participants in the opening of the new world.

Colorado Voices
Another horrendous massacre in Colorado by another madman, this one fancying himself as Batman's nemesis the Joker, an arch villain who wants to kill and destroy just for the sake of killing and destroying.
The nonstop local coverage of this tragedy seems to consist of endless repetition, with a new nugget of information only every three or four hours, punctuated by occasional exploitation by politicians. Other than the predictable, cliché condemnation of guns, there has been little or no analysis of the possible cause of such terrible events. This lack of interest seems incredible given the "enquiring minds" of the media, and the unfortunate fact that this incident occurred in the same general community as the Columbine tragedy.

But I don't believe that there's a moment that we don't think about the sacrifices, large and small, that those veterans made to fight for what they believed in, to do what they felt was right. As I was creating a post for Facebook and Google+, I realized there was more to the veteran story. I was thinking in terms of chronological history, the wars in which my ancestors fought (that I know of) and I stumbled over something. I'll explain...
I don't have a lot of veterans in my family; it's a family oddity, particularly on my maternal side, that the generations were very long and sat squarely at times when the men were either too young or too old for military service. I do have one ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War (that's proven): Waters Burrows. I know very little about him as a person and don't really know anything about his service or sacrifices other than the fact that he was a Private in a NJ regiment. There are several more of his generation that I haven't proved to my satisfaction, but I believe are veterans just the same: James Sargent and Benjamin Penn.
Then there's the Civil War and my one exception to the military rule: Daniel Beightler.

My father's uncles, Francis, Patrick and John Cosgrove, all fought during WWI. They were English citizens, living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, but they fought bravely to protect their homeland. Francis in particular sacrificed; he was wounded severely, including being exposed to mustard gas, and never fully recovered. Of course, that didn't stop him from marrying and having six children, the youngest of whom was just a year old when he died in 1931. Both Patrick and John lived long lives, though neither one married.
My Dad's youngest uncle and his half brother, both named Vincent Cosgrove, fought during WWII, as did my mother's uncle, Roger Wersel and cousin, Stephen Baer. And as I was thinking about who else I was missing, I suddenly thought about my mother-in-law, Ely Lumilan Lorenzana.
Ely was born in 1929 on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. In early 1942, just weeks after the occupation of the Philippines by the Japanese, she was sent to stay with her father's parents. Shortly after that Ely's father, Teodorico Lumilan who was a minister, was accused of being a Japanese sympathizer and was executed. In very short order, it was discovered that the accuser had done so falsely, and in turn he and his entire family were executed. That was just the beginning.
While Ely's siblings stayed with her mother's family, Ely found herself conscripted into a guerrilla unit to fight against the Japanese. She's shared the story of how she moved from town to town and lived for extended periods in the jungle. She reluctantly told me that she had seen executions; when asked if she herself had ever had to take up arms, she simply said, 'we did what we had to do to survive.' At the end of the war, having lived and fought on the run for two and a half years, Ely was 16.

UPDATE (11 Nov 2014) Ely Lorenzana passed away earlier this year. Her sacrifice, and that of too many others to name, will never be forgotten.

Litigation Round-Up: Where the freedom to marry stands in the appeals courts
March 27, 2014
2014 has been a huge year for the freedom to marry - in just over three months, we've seen nine huge federal court victories in states across the country, and in total, there are more than 60 lawsuits seeking the freedom to marry or respect for same-sex couples' marriages working their way through the system in 29 states or territories. Keeping track of what's going on in state, federal, and trial courts can be challenging, as they move quickly. That's why Freedom to Marry has been keeping tabs on litigation with our Marriage Litigation resource to provides a comprehensive overview at all of the marriage-related legal cases already underway. Special thanks to Kathleen Perrin at Equality Case Files for always being thorough in posting essential documents from the courts.
The national strategy has always been to win a final victory in the Supreme Court; the key to encouraging the Court to rule in favor of the freedom to marry nationwide is to work the tracks of the Roadmap to Victory: growing public support, winning marriage in more states, and ending federal discrimination. By the time we return to the Supreme Court with a marriage case, we must create the climate that maximizes our chances at a 50-state victory. Freedom to Marry applauds the work of the legal organizations behind these marriage lawsuits, and we are excited to continue making the case to win marriage nationwide.
After last Friday's amazing victory in Michigan - which resulted in several hours of the freedom to marry in some Michigan counties on Saturday - it's a good time to check in on the state of marriage litigation across the country:
In nine states, marriage litigation is currently pending at the federal appellate level in five different Circuit Courts. Here are the basics in each:
The 10th Circuit:
Two cases - Kitchen v. Herbert in Utah and Bishop v. Smith in Oklahoma - will share oral arguments in April (on April 10 and April 17, respectively) at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. Both cases seek the freedom to marry or respect for couples' out-of-state marriages, and both cases are going into the appeals level with huge victories from December 2013 and January 2014. This month, Freedom to Marry worked as a leading partner to launch Utah Unites for Marriage, a coalition of state and national partners working to ramp up the conversation around why marriage matters in Utah. We also spoke with two of the plainitffs in the Oklahoma case, Mary Bishop and Sharon Baldwin, and got an oral history of their case, which has been pending for over nine years. For more information about marriage litigation at the 10th Circuit, click here.
The 6th Circuit:
All four states in the 6th Circuit currently have litigation pending at the appellate level. Ohio's Obergefell v. Wymsylo - in which a judge ruled that Ohio must respect marriages between same-sex couples for the purpose of listing a surviving spouse on a death certificate - is scheduled to begin briefing on April 10, with the plaintiffs' reply brief due May 13. In Michigan, briefing in DeBoer v. Snyder - in which a judge struck down Michigan's constitutional amendment restricting same-sex couples from marriage - begins on May 7, with the plaintiffs' reply brief due June 9. There's not currently a schedule for Kentucky's Bourke v. Beshear - in which a judge declared that Kentucky must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed out of state - or in Tennessee's Tanco v. Haslam - which saw action this month when a judge granted a temporary preliminary injunction respecting the marriages of three plaintiff couples as their case continues through court.
The 9th Circuit:
Oral arguments have not yet been set in Sevcik v. Sandoval, a Nevada case that seeks to overturn anti-marriage laws across the state. The Nevada Attorney General and Governor have stopped defending the state's marriage ban. As the case waits to be scheduled, Freedom Nevada, a coalition of state and national partners, continues to make the case that Nevada is ready for the freedom to marry.
The 4th Circuit:
Oral arguments have been scheduled in Bostic v. Schaefer, the federal court challenge that brought down Virginia's constitutional amendment restricting marriage to different-sex couples in February 2014. The case will be heard by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on May 13, 2014.
The 5th Circuit:
The Texas case DeLeon v. Perry, which received a ruling last month declaring that Texas laws banning same-sex couples from marrying are unconstitutional, has yet to receive a briefing schedule or time frame for oral arguments.
Looking Ahead:
Nearly 30 other cases are also now being considered in federal court. Most pressing is Geiger v. Kitzhaber in Oregon, where same-sex couples will argue against anti-marriage laws in Oregon on April 23. Soon after, on May 28, oral arguments will be heard in Palladino v. Corbett, which seeks respect for a couple's out-of-state marriage in Pennsylvania. On June 9, a trial is scheduled in Whitewood v. Wolf seeking the freedom to marry and respect for out-of-state marriages in Pennsylvania, and on June 25, oral arguments are scheduled in Louisiana's federal challenge Robicheaux v. Caldwell. The last date on the calendar for federal lawsuits is in Wisconsin's Wolf v. Walker, where a judge has scheduled a trial on the freedom to marry for August 25.
Federal lawsuits are also pending in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and West Virginia.
In state court, nearly 20 cases are pending, with a hearing scheduled in an Arkansas challenge for April 17. State challengse are also pending in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Wyoming.

Things are going to get absolutely crazy across the league next week. And for the Cowboys there is a lot of work to be done in a very short amount of time. Let's look at the priorities for the Cowboys heading into the shortest free agency signing period in the history of the NFL.
Priority #1 - Get Doug Free signed. I list this as the top priority because accomplishing the goal of locking Free into a long term deal not only helps shape the salary cap picture but it also impacts whether Marc Colombo can stay or go. If Free somehow ends up with another team the Cowboys will be forced to hold onto Colombo and start Tyron Smith at left tackle.
Priority #2 - Identify what dead weight is going to be cut from the roster to save salary cap space. There are some easy picks here. I know getting Free signed is the top priority for Jerry and Stephen Jones. So Colombo will be gone which will save the Cowboys $1.9 million in base salary and a $2.6 million option bonus. Cutting Barber saves $4 million on the cap and they Cowboys need to get rid of one of their backs anyway after drafting DeMarco Murray.
Priority #3 - Restructure some of the big money players to save cap space. Tony Romo, Demarcus Ware, Terence Newman and Miles Austin are all prime candidates for contract restructuring. I would love to see the Cowboys find a way to restructure Roy Williams' deal to make his cap number lower this season without making it impossible to cut him again next year. Leonard Davis is another prime candidate for contract restructuring.
Priority #4 - It looks like all teams will get 3 days to deal exclusively with their own free agents. The Cowboys need to resign Gerald Sensabaugh, Marcus Spears, Stephen Bowen and Kyle Kosier. I would love to see the Cowboys upgrade the offensive line but the lockout is going to prevent that this season. With very limited offseason work in the offense it is hard to imagine any of the young players progressing to the point that they can start the year at left guard. Bringing Kosier back is the safe option and they can buy another year of development. David Arkin was drafted to be a starter but he won't be ready this season. The Cowboys can't afford to go into the short free agent period needing two starting safeties. Hopefully Sensabaugh isn't trying to break the bank with his new deal. The Cowboys are in bad shape at defensive end if they don't resign at least one and hopefully two of their soon to be free agent ends (Jason Hatcher, Marcus Spears, Stephen Bowen)
Priority #5 - This is the beginning of open free agency. I seriously doubt the Cowboys will cut Newman and make a run at Nnamdi Asomugha. There won't be the cap space available to go after a high priced guy like that. The #1 priority should be finding a free safety. The Cowboys can't afford wait another year with Alan Ball as the only other starting option. There have been a lot of names thrown around as targets in free agency at safety. I'll be happy with anyone back there who isn't named Alan Ball.
Priority #6 - Depth, depth, depth. The Cowboys need more depth at cornerback, linebacker, offensive line, and wide receiver. They need to find quality depth at as many positions as possible. Obviously some of the rookies will be providing depth at some spots but you never know what you have from your draft picks until you get them on the field.
It is going to be a wild and fun week of free agency starting hopefully on Monday. The Cowboys have plenty of work to do to keep things interesting for Dallas fans.

Sandia National Laboratories
Proposed more than 80 years ago, research on Bloch oscillations (BO) has gained a renewed interest, as a Bloch oscillator can be utilized as a solid-state, electrically biased, frequency-tunable terahertz source and detector. So far, work on BO has mainly been carried out in vertical quantum well superlattice structures. On the other hand, a surface superlattice patterned in a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) has long been proposed as an alternative device structure to generate BO. A surface superlattice has three-dimensional quantization, as opposite to the conventional vertical quantum well superlattice. As a result, gaps exist in all three dimensions in the energy spectrum, which can lead to BO at relatively moderate electric field. It has also been shown that, in surface superlattices, the electron-optical phonon scattering, one of the limiting mechanisms in achieving BO in the terahertz range in vertical superlattice, can be completely suppressed, and, thus, electrically generated BO can become possible. Furthermore, compared to a vertical superlattice, a surface superlattice offers other various advantages, for example, easy device fabrication and multiple fundamental frequencies. It can also fully utilize the benefit of long coherent transport time achieved in high mobility 2DES. To date, however, very few studies of BO in surface superlattices have been reported.
I will report here the experimental evidence of BO in two-dimensional antidot arrays. First, negative differential conductance (NDC), one of the signatures of BO, was observed. In one sample, several current jumps were observed in the NDC region. Our theoretical modeling yields reasonable agreement with the experimental data. More measurements have been carried out to examine the so-called reversed Bloch oscillations and magneto-transport. In particular, in magneto-transport measurements, evidence of the Bloch oscillations induced edge magneto-plasmon resonance was observed.

8152.0 - Year 2000 Problem, Australia, Oct 1998
Previous ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 19/02/1999
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product
ABS confirms many enterprises unprepared for year 2000
The final report of an Australian Bureau of Statistics survey shows that although there is a very high level of awareness of the Year 2000 problem among businesses in Australia (93%), just under 60% intend to, or have already taken action to address the Year 2000 problem in their business.
While most businesses plan to, or have already taken action to address the problem within their business, only one third have sought assurances from their suppliers, service providers or customers about their Year 2000 readiness. Even fewer (one fifth) have started to develop contingency plans.
Although the majority of businesses have indicated an intention to undertake Year 2000 preparations, almost half of these businesses had not commenced their Year 2000 work by October 1998. However, virtually all expect to complete the work before the end of 1999.
There were two main reasons why businesses did not intend to take action on the Year 2000 problem. Of those not intending to take action, well over half did not think their business would be affected by the Year 2000 problem, while over one third were either unsure of what action to take or were unaware of the problem.
The businesses which intend to, or have already taken action on the Year 2000 problem make a significant contribution to the Australian economy, employing 84% of private sector employees and contributing 90% of the total sales of goods and services. This high level of contribution results from the fact that the intention to undertake Year 2000 work is related to business size. For example, just over half of the micro businesses (1 to 4 employees) intend to take action on the Year 2000 problem compared to almost all the large businesses (200 or more employees).
Businesses have difficulty estimating the cost of their Year 2000 work. Well over one third of businesses which intend to, or which have already taken action on the Year 2000 problem could not provide an estimate of the likely cost of their Year 2000 work. Over half of the businesses estimated their costs would be less than $10,000.
The ABS survey was the most comprehensive of its type run in Australia, obtaining information from 8000 businesses from all industries and all sizes.
These results update figures previously released in Year 2000 Problem, Australia, Preliminary. The final results from the survey are now available in Year 2000 Problem, Australia, October 1998 (cat. no. 8152.0).

29 Kan. App. 2d 958
(34 P3d 480)
No. 85,895
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. DAVID P. DREIER, Appellant.
1. Interpretation of a statute is a question of law over which we have unlimited review.
2. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b) is a substantive criminal penalty provision and, in the absence of statutory language to the contrary, operates prospectively.
3. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a) requires that when the sentencing court imposes an imprisonment sentence on a defendant who falls within a nondrug presumptive probation box, it must state for the record that it has considered but rejected placement at the Labette Correctional Conservation Camp. A sentencing court's failure to do so is never harmless error.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; PAUL W. CLARK, judge. Opinion filed November 21, 2001. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with directions.
Brent Getty, assistant appellate defender, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
Boyd K. Isherwood, assistant district attorney, Nola Foulston, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for ap.pellee.
Before PIERRON, P.J., ELLIOTT, J., and WAHL, S.J.
ELLIOTT, J.: Defendant David P. Dreier appeals the revocation of his probation. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand with directions.
Dreier's contentions require interpretation of statutes over which we have unlimited review. State v. Patterson, 25 Kan. App. 2d 245, 247, 963 P.2d 436, rev. denied 265 Kan. 888 (1998).
Dreier first contends, based on K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b), the district court was mandated by statute to assign him to a community correctional services program instead of imposing the sentence originally imposed upon revocation of his probation. He bases his argument on K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b) effective May 25, 2000, which provides in relevant part:
"Except as otherwise provided, no offender for whom a violation of conditions of release or assignment or a nonprison sanction has been established as provided in this section shall be required to serve any time for the sentence imposed or which might originally have been imposed in a state facility in the custody of the secretary of corrections for such violation, unless such person has already at least one prior assignment to a community correctional services program related to the crime for which the original sentence was imposed, except these provisions shall not apply to offenders who violate a condition of release or assignment or a nonprison sanction by committing a new misdemeanor or felony offense."
Dreier's crime occurred on August 8, 1997. Thus, in order for K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b) to control this case, that statute must operate retroactively. See State v. Mayberry, 248 Kan. 369, Syl. ¶ 15, 807 P.2d 86 (1991) (criminal penalties in effect at time of offense controls).
The fundamental rule is that a statutory change operates prospectively except when (1) its language clearly indicates the legislature intended retroactive application, or (2) the statutory change does not prejudicially affect the substantive rights of the parties and is merely procedural or remedial in nature. State v. Sutherland, 248 Kan. 96, 106, 804 P.2d 970 (1991).
There is nothing in the language of K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b) which clearly indicates the legislature intended it to operate retroactively. Thus, the question becomes whether the statute is substantive criminal law which either defines a crime or involves the length or type of punishment. Sutherland, 248 Kan. at 106.
In State v. Freeman, 249 Kan. 768, 771, 822 P.2d 68 (1991), our Supreme Court considered a previous amendment to K.S.A. 22-3716(b) and held "[a]pplication of the amended version of 22-3716 in the circumstances of the present case would alter the punishment itself" and, thus, the statute was substantive, not procedural. This same reasoning applies to K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b) because the statute in effect at the time of Dreier's crime, K.S.A. 22-3716(b) (Furse 1995), does not mandate the district court assign a defendant to a community corrections program before ordering that the defendant serve the original sentence imposed.
Even if K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b) did apply, the district court did not err. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3716(b) allows the district court to order the defendant to serve the original sentence imposed without a prior assignment to a community correctional services program "if the court finds and sets forth with particularity the reasons for finding that the safety of the members of the public will be jeopardized or that the welfare of the inmate will not be served by such assignment to a community correctional services program." In this case, the sentencing court made the finding that the "public safety requires defendant to be committed directly to the Department of Corrections."
Under the facts of this case, the district court did not err in ordering that Dreier serve the original sentence instead of assigning him to a community correctional services program.
We next turn to Dreier's contention that the district court erred in failing to consider placement at Labette Correctional Conservation Camp (Labette).
A district court cannot impose a prison term without first considering placing the defendant at Labette when the offender is classified in a presumptive nonprison, nondrug grid box. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a). Dreier's criminal history and crime severity level placed him in a presumptive probation block on the nondrug sentencing grid.
The transcript of the sentencing proceeding reveals the district court did not state on the record that it had considered but rejected Labette as placement for Dreier.
This court has on several occasions held that the failure of a trial court to consider placing defendant at Labette as required by K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4603d(a) requires the sentence imposed be vacated and the matter remanded for resentencing. See, e.g., State v. Schick, 25 Kan. App. 2d 702, 971 P.2d 346, rev. denied 266 Kan. 1114 (1999); State v. Billington, 24 Kan. App. 2d 759, Syl. ¶ 5, 953 P.2d 1059 (1998); State v. Williams, 24 Kan. App. 2d 447, Syl., 946 P.2d 98 (1997); cf. State v. Adams, 29 Kan. App. 2d ___, 30 P.3d 317 (2001) (holding court need not consider Labette when felony crime, though falling in presumptive probation nondrug grid box, was committed while on assignment to a community correctional services program in another case).
The State sets forth two responsive arguments. First, it argues the trial court implicitly considered Labette when it stated: "[F]or the protection of the community I believe a placement at the Department of Corrections is a proper one for the sentence to be served as originally ordered." The State argues this statement implies the trial court considered but rejected Dreier's placement at any other facility under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Corrections, other than imprisonment.
We have previously held "K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 21-4603d(a) is very clear concerning the district court's duty to consider Labette in appropriate situations and to note its consideration on the record." Schick, 25 Kan. App. 2d at 704. Even if we accept the State's argument that the district court implicitly considered and rejected Labette, such implicit consideration is not in compliance with the statute and we must, therefore, reject the State's argument.
Second, the State maintains that even if this court concludes the trial court did not consider placement at Labette, the error was harmless because Dreier's crime was one of a violent nature (severity level 7 aggravated battery) and Dreier suffers from a diabetic condition and depression.
In Schick, the State argued the defendant "failed to prove that space was available at Labette and that he met all the placement criteria," and, thus, the district court's error was harmless. Schick, 25 Kan. App. 2d at 703. We rejected the State's argument, stating "[t]he statute does not require the defendant to provide the information suggested by the State before the district court considers Labette." 25 Kan. App. 2d at 703. The court went on to state: "[S]trict compliance with K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 21-4603d(a) is mandated . . . . Any change in this procedure must come from the legislature." Schick, 25 Kan. App. 2d at 704.
We agree. The statute requires the trial court to consider Labette on the record. It did not, and in accordance with prior decisions of this court, we must set aside Dreier's sentence and remand for resentencing for the district court to consider Labette.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

"Where is my Surété-Scotland-Yard-type mackintosh?"
This is no mackintosh, but let's take a closer look, shall we? …
Finally, the Inspector Clouseau trousseau meets vesna in Paris is finished! And not a moment too soon … this has to go in the mail on Monday, so as not to languish in shawl purgatory (i.e., my apartment) until I return. After all, Alice has shown no interest in making deliveries in the 5 years I've known her. (Though she does faithfully stand sentry over whatever damp wool happens to be pinned out blocking on the floor.)
The shawl had to come together rather quickly — like everything this summer — and I'm quite pleased with the result. I did have some moments of doubt when working the vesna border, but in the end I don't think the pairing looks odd at all. Just that little bit of added something that I was hoping for.
I grabbed a moment of sunshine this morning (oh, stormy Nashville) for a few photos. The sundara silky merino blocked out wonderfully, so silky and soft and very forgiving of any wonky stitches. In the end, I kinda fell in love with the color: not too pink, a just-right mellow shade of lilac. I hope the recipient feels the same way.
Details here.
And now onto travel knitting!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A gauge of global stocks gained on Thursday, boosted by Wall Street, and the U.S. dollar touched a two-week high as risk appetite returned and investors braced for developments with U.S. policy and for a key U.S. jobs report due on Friday.
Longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields rose as increased risk appetite diminished the attractiveness of safe-haven U.S. government debt. Oil prices rebounded a day after hitting two-week lows.
A U.S. tax bill moving swiftly through Congress has influenced markets in the past month, with investors hoping that deep cuts to corporate tax rates will help further drive the record-setting run in equities.
The White House said on Thursday it was focusing on getting the lowest corporate tax rate possible in the legislation being considered on Capitol Hill.
"The focus is still on the tax bill," said Bucky Hellwig, senior vice president at BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama. "As the details are getting hammered out, I think investors are still buying into the news that it is coming and it will help profitability and business activity."
Investors also kept an eye on U.S. negotiations over a spending package, amid some concern about a government shutdown.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 70.57 points, or 0.29 percent, to 24,211.48, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 7.71 points, or 0.29 percent, to 2,636.98 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 36.47 points, or 0.54 percent, to 6,812.84.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 lost 0.01 percent.
Technology stocks gained in the United States .SPLRCT and Europe .SX8P after the high-flying sector had retreated in recent days.
MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS gained 0.22 percent after declining the past two sessions.
The dollar rose to a two-week high against a basket of currencies, recovering losses against the yen, on stronger risk appetite across markets.
The dollar index .DXY rose 0.18 percent to $93.78, with the euro EUR= down 0.2 percent to $1.1771.
"Tomorrow's jobs report will play a significant factor in keeping the (dollar) rally alive and heightening hopes for an early 2018 rate hike," said Lennon Sweeting, chief market strategist at XE in Toronto.
Bitcoin BTC=BTSP rocketed to a lifetime high just shy of $16,000 after climbing some 60 percent in just over a week, intensifying the debate about whether the cryptocurrency is in a bubble about to burst.
Investors favored selling longer-dated debt as the U.S. Treasury yield curve had compressed to its tightest in more than a decade earlier this week, while short-term Treasury yields were little changed.
Benchmark 10-year notes US10YT=RR last fell 9/32 in price to yield 2.3599 percent, from 2.33 percent late on Wednesday.
Oil prices climbed due to a threatened strike in Nigeria and as traders cover shorts after sharp losses the previous day brought on by an unexpectedly large rise in U.S. stocks of refined fuels.
Brent futures LCOc1 rose 98 cents, or 1.6 percent, to settle at $62.20 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude CLc1 gained 73 cents, or 1.3 percent, to settle at $56.69.
Copper CMCU3 rose 0.14 percent to $6,559.00 a tonne, but had yet to retrace steep declines from Tuesday's session.

It's been now some time and people by now have been able to try it, use it, etc.
So for those of you who did try/use it do you consider the TR8 as a worthwhile, versatile, useful, musically satisfying drum machine ? Do you think it compares favorably (or not) with other NEW OR MODERN drum machines ?
Please feel free also to mention your experience as far as ergonomy, robustness, etc.
Again, this not about listing a nth comparison between the older "real" stuff and the TR8. It is about fairly assessing (as possible) the TR8 own value, as a drum machine on its own.
As if it was a newborn gear without a looming heavy ancestry....

Skip to comments.California Governor's Mansion has a black cat mystery to solve
Posted on 04/28/2012 8:22:19 PM PDT by nickcarraway
The tour guides at the old Governor's Mansion in Sacramento are trying to solve a mystery, one that involves a black cat.
One of the guides, John Casey, is the grandson of former Gov. Pat Brown, the last governor to live in the Victorian mansion at 16th and H streets, and therefore the nephew of the current governor, Jerry Brown.
Casey was given the black ceramic cat by his aunt, former Treasurer Kathleen Brown, with a story that Pat Brown used it to denote whether his conversations with reporters at the mansion were on or off the record. If the cat was sitting on a hall table, so goes the legend, reporters knew the conversations were off the record, but if it was missing, everything was for attribution.
But if anyone knows the real story, he or she can either email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or post a comment on this item.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.sacbee.com ...
Nothing you tell a reporter is off the record. Even ceramic cats know that.
That's just way too many Browns to be healthy for any state.
...and therefore the nephew of the current governor, Jerry Brown.Accident with a contraceptive in a time machine? ;')
Why a BLACK cat? Why not a tabby cat or a tiger cat? RACISTS!!!/s;)
I thought Jerry Brown sold it last time he was governor.
Kind of reminds me of the Bates Motel;)
Actually, that creepy house was not the motel, but where Norman Bates lived;)
Considering the Browns lived there, it is probably more scary.
When I attended a GOP convention at Sacramento in the mid-1990's with some friends, we stayed at a motel that's almost next door to the old governor's mansion. An acquaintance told me that she had stayed there and liked it. It was also within walking distance to the convention. But when we checked in, we quickly learned that it was essentially a welfare motel, and the experience was like spending a couple nights in the Bates Motel. Turned out that my friend who recommended it had previously stayed there in 1971.
I think it's kinda pretty.
It appears to have all the trim done in pale gold paint. I could imagine worse. Purple?

Ash Ganley
April 18, 2018
Live Music at 6-9pm Cost-Free
Ash Ganley, one of Colorado's great songwriters is back performing at Bitto Bistro! Freshly returned to Colorado after a year as a wandering troubadour, we are very glad to have him back for a few shows.
Please join us for a great night of Wine, Cheese and Ash! Ash can do anything, from Delta blues Robert Johnson style, to blistering blues-rock ala Kenny Wayne Shepherd, to heartbreak country that could land him comfortably on stage at the Grand Ole Opry. Colorado has a star in its firmament in Ash Ganley. Ash has a clearly authentic quality to his very professional sound.
Ash Ganley has become one of Colorado's most renowned and successful acoustic singer/songwriters in the past few years, playing solo and in acoustic duo and trio. After tours of the Western US and Canada and 4 albums released since 2006, Ash signed a publishing deal with prominent Los Angeles-based publishing company NOMA music and has his original music licensed by ABC, HBO, Canadian Television and major film. Ash is also signed with exclusive Bay Area "all digital" record Company Magnatune.
My favorite is when the slide comes out toward the end of the night and his blues fill the restaurant. Ash is the "real deal". His sound may have roots and feel familiar but what comes out is unique and pure "Ash".
Check out music samples at Ash Ganley's website.

In the nautical tradition of Earth, the various service organizations throughout the galaxy engage in the usage of nautical terms to apply traditional sea-going references to modern starship operations.
Sections of a shipEdit
External componentsEdit
- Beam: the widest part of the ship or a point alongside the ship. (eg, Worf; "Probe is standing abeam" meaning the probe was steady alongside the Enterprise.)
- Rudder: a part of a ocean-going ship that can be manipulated to change the way water flows around it, and thus the direction of the ship; in the 23rd century the USS Enterprise-A had a system that performed a similar course-changing function and was referred to as a "rudder". (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
- Port (opening): an opening in a hull or bulkhead. Not to be confused with the left side of a vessel.
Internal facilities and crewEdit
- Bay: a stowage facility for auxiliary vessels, consumables, or goods such as "shuttlebay" or "cargo bay".
- Berth (personnel): refers to either crew'/passengers' quarters, or more specifically (with shared quarters) a person's bunk.
- Bridge: the main command center of a ship where course is set and essential operations of the ship is monitored.
- Brig: a secure area where prisoners are held.
- Deck: a floor or level of a ship usually oriented horizontally; often used to describe the walking surface of floors within a ship or the outermost habitable section of a ship.
- Engineering (or engine room): area that contains the ship's engines and power generators.
- Hangar deck: an alternate term for small-craft storage and launch/landing area also called a "shuttlebay".
- Head: the bathroom facilities on board a ship.
- Quarters: sleeping area(s) for the crew.
- Sickbay: The ship's hospital; called an infirmary on planet- or base-side facilities.
Key personnel on a ship Edit
The crew generally made up the collective group of personnel who were individuals collectively serving together aboard a ship. Crewmembers generally consisted of officers and crewmen.
- Boatswain or Bosun: a member of a crew who is responsible for mooring, berthing and gangways and decorating them accordingly upon visitation of a high-ranking official or VIP; he/she is also responsible for a formal greeting upon such an arrival by which the crewman will blow a specialized whistle in a stylized manner.
- Captain: typically, a ship's commanding officer responsible for overseeing the overall operation of ship and crew; officers below the military rank of captain are nevertheless still addressed as "captain" when commanding a ship. (TNG: "Redemption II"; DS9: "Favor the Bold")
- Chief engineer: crewperson responsible for the physical components and operational systems of a ship including and especially that of propulsion.
- Chief medical officer (also called ship's doctor, "CMO" or Ship's Surgeon): crewperson responsible for the health and physical well-being of the crew.
- Chief science officer: an officer directly responsible for the scientific research conducted aboard a ship.
- Dock master: an officer directly responsible for managing the comings and goings of vessels in his/her assigned berth.
- Conn: the line officer who is in command of the bridge; "conn" may also refer to the helmsman and the actual helm itself.
- First officer: the officer who is second in command of a ship directly beneath the captain; often referred to as "number one", "executive officer", or simply "exec" or "XO". The first officer is responsible for ensuring the captain's orders are carried out to his/her specifications and could be considered the chief pilot of a vessel as navigation orders generally are relayed through the first officer.
- Helmsman (also occasionally flight controller or quartermaster): crewmember who is in direct control of a vessel's course and speed, and making adjustments as directed by the duty conn officer or captain.
- Second officer: third in command of a ship beneath the first officer and the captain.
- Steward: a manager of goods and functions aboard a ship.
- Yeoman: an assistant to senior officers; the position of yeoman seems to have been phased out sometime between 2293 and 2371.
- Bow, Fore, Stem: the forward end of a vessel. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
- Aft, Stern: the rear end of a vessel. (ENT: "Fortunate Son", "The Catwalk")
- Port: the left side of a vessel when facing forward. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice", "Fortunate Son")
- Starboard: the right side of a vessel when facing forward. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice", "Fortunate Son", "The Catwalk")
- Dorsal: the top of a vessel.
- During Shinzon's attack on the USS Enterprise-E in 2379, the starship's dorsal shielding failed as the result of a focused attack. (Star Trek Nemesis)
- Ventral: the bottom of a vessel.
- The ventral plating team stated they would be completed with their work on Enterprise NX-01 in three days in April 2151. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
- During Shinzon's attack on the Enterprise-E in 2379, all ventral phasers were fired in a single maneuver. In addition, the starship's ventral shielding failed on deck 29 as the result of a focused attack. (Star Trek Nemesis)
- Course: the direction of travel of a ship or object; courses may be described by destination ("Set course for Starbase 375..."), by heading (see below), or by bearing (see below).
- Alongside: to be "alongside" another ship is to be positioned next to it (typically "abeam") and moving in the same direction and speed; to order a helmsman to "bring us alongside" is to order him to assume this position regarding another vessel.
- Bearing: the direction of an object in relation to the ship's heading; the ship's direction is automatically assumed to be zero and the vector of the other ship's angle is calculated in two 360° arcs that describe the object's position along the horizontal and vertical planes of a vessel. The position is described using the horizontal angle in degrees, followed by that of the vertical plane; both measurements being separated by the word 'mark.' (TNG: "Datalore")
- Closing: the act of approaching a particular place or object, typically another ship.
- Come about: an order to change course to that given after the order.
- Collision course: one designed to make the ship assuming the course collide with a particular target, often another ship.
- Conic intersection flight path: a course designed to bring one ship close to another in a way that is not intended to appear threatening to the other vessel; such a course was used by the USS Enterprise to approach V'Ger in 2271. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
- Docking maneuvers: maneuvers that allow a ship to to physically link up with another other body (typically at airlocks), or to allow a ship to be brought into its slip in a dock, or to bring a small craft into its bay.
- En route: refers to a vessel proceeding on course to a destination.
- Evasive course or maneuver: one designed to allow the ship to either miss or be missed by another object.
- The use of hard prefacing a direction change, as in "hard to [port/starboard]", indicated to the helmsman that the maneuver was to be made as rapidly and severely as the ship was capable of doing.
- Heading: the direction of the ship in relation to the center of the galaxy broken down into a 360° arc on the X axis (yaw); another 360° arc is the direction separated by saying "mark" which is the Y axis (pitch). For example, if a commander of a starship wanted a heading of 180 mark 0, he'd want to turn the ship to the southernmost section of the galaxy while keeping the Y axis of the ship parallel to the plane of the galaxy.
- Pitch: The orientation of a ship's bow and aft ends respectively (up and down).
- Roll: The orientation of the ventral and dorsal sides of the ship respectively.
- Yaw: The orientation of the port and starboard sides of the ship respectively (side to side).
- Intercept course: a course designed to directly and quickly approach another ship.
- Rendezvous: to meet another vessel at a pre-determined place and time.
- To set a course is to either (as an order) command the ship to be turned to that course, or (as an action) to actually turn the ship to the prescribed course.
- Station-keeping: refers to a starship or other spacecraft maintaining a constant position in space relative to another object; this is typically performed using maneuvering thrusters. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture; TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")
- Stem: forward-most part of a vessel. (VOY: "Hope and Fear")
- Port (location): a location where personnel and goods can be transferred to and from a ship while not under way; frequently, construction and repair facilities can be found in these type of ports; also known as a "base" or "yard".
- Berth (location): a place in a port where a ship may be secured. May also be known as a "dock" or a "slip".
- Drydock: a specific type of dock where ships may be repaired or constructed.
- Maiden voyage: a ship's first expedition
Functions of a ship and crew Edit
- Battle stations: ship's crew report to their assigned combat duty stations; can also refer to the location where a particular crewman reports for combat duty.
- Captain: the standing commanding officer of a ship regardless of officer's actual rank.
- Damage control: the act or task of performing emergency repairs to parts of a ship damaged by combat or accident.
- Dock: to place the ship into a facility for repair, service or rest.
- Flank speed: the fastest speed a ship is capable of, pushing its engines to their maximum output.
- General quarters: a state of alert aboard ship.
- Hail: to call, invite, or beckon.
- Hand: a crewmember; an able-bodied individual capable of tending to ship's services or operation.
- Keelhauling: a severe form of corporal punishment meted out to sailors at sea, with the offending sailor tied to a rope that looped beneath the vessel, thrown overboard on one side of the ship, and dragged under the ship's keel to the other side. As the hull was often covered in barnacles and other marine growth, this could result in lacerations and other injuries, and possibly even death. When debating accommodations for visiting Federation dignitaries to Deep Space 9, Worf brought up the naval tradition of giving ship commanders equal quarters as admirals. Constable Odo replied that keelhauling, too, was a naval tradition. (DS9: "Rapture")
- Leave: an approved absence from duty usually for rest and relaxation or convalescence.
- Moor: to attach the ship to a bulkhead to prevent drifting.
- Ramming speed: the fastest speed a ship can attain while still retaining sufficient maneuverability to remain on a collision course with a target.
- Ready: to prepare something for immediate potential use.
- Secure: to check to see that something is properly "stowed" or otherwise in its proper place or condition. (Example: to "secure" a door/hatch would be to ensure that it is properly closed and/or locked; to "secure" a room would be to see to it that everything within was properly stowed, or alternately that it was properly locked up.)
- Stand by: to prepare an individual or item for potential use.
- Stow: to place goods or belongings in their appropriate storage areas.
- Watch: a duty shift.
- Under way: the condition of a ship moving under its own power.
Miscellaneous Edit
- Adrift: Floating freely in space, possibly damaged, with no pilot in control at the helm.
- Irons: metallic bands and chains used to secure prisoners. Captain Kirk threatened Mr. Baris that he would "hold [him] in irons" if he didn't shut up. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles") A fictitious version of Captain Sisko in a holodeck scenario argued to Luther Sloan that his officer needn't be dragged through public places in irons. (DS9: "Inquisition")
- Landlubber: someone unfamiliar with the sea. Used by Gillian Taylor to describe Kirk when she heard that the alleged admiral was from Iowa. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
- List: When a vessel begins to roll or lean too much to one side, which may lead to a ship capsizing. Captain Pavel Chekov noted that the Klingon Empire's flagship, Kronos One, was listing after it was struck by a photon torpedo that appeared to have been fired from the USS Enterprise-A. Upon viewing the scene, Captain Kirk added that "she's spinning out of control." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
- Port of call: a port where a ship stopped. (TNG: "Unnatural Selection")
- Shakedown cruise: an operation during which a new starship tests its systems.
- Shore: dry land; as used on spacefaring vessels, it usually refers to planets or spacedocks.
- Shore leave: time away from duty, usually on a base or planet.
- Stores: The sundry consumable supplies that a vessel keeps in storage for its everyday operation. Ship's store items often include replacement uniforms, spare machine parts, and other goods that must be kept on-hand to ensure the continued function of a ship and its crew.
"Abandon ship" Edit
"Abandon ship" was an order for all hands to evacuate via transporters or emergency escape pods due to an imminent catastrophic event which threatens to destroy the ship. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; TNG: "11001001", et al; DS9: "Emissary", et al; VOY: "Projections", et al; Star Trek)
"Aye-aye, aye" Edit
An acknowledgment of an order. One "aye" for the acknowledgment. (ENT: "Terra Nova", "The Andorian Incident", "Breaking the Ice", "Fortunate Son", "The Catwalk") Two "aye"s for acknowledgment and carrying out of order. Commander Riker believed that only one "aye" was sufficient for both. (TNG: "Lower Decks")
"Shipshape and Bristol fashion" Edit
Term meaning "everything in perfect order". Captain Jean-Luc Picard used the term to describe Lieutenant Geordi La Forge's model of the original HMS Victory. (TNG: "Elementary, Dear Data")
"Steady as we/she go(es)" Edit
A request by a commander of a vessel to maintain course and speed without deviation. (TAS: "Beyond the Farthest Star"; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
"Walk the plank" Edit
When pirates captured a ship at sea, it is believed that they sometimes forced its sailors to walk overboard to their deaths from a wide board known as a plank. This routine became known as to "walk the plank".
In 2371, the crew of the USS Enterprise-D jokingly upheld this ancient sailing tradition when they celebrated Worf's promotion to Lieutenant Commander. (Star Trek Generations)
Following an episode of conspiracy and distrust that occurred aboard USS Voyager in 2376, Captain Kathryn Janeway and First officer Chakotay discussed the latest rumors circulating aboard Voyager. While discussing trust between the two, Janeway jokingly claimed that she "heard the strangest rumor today. Apparently, the Captain and First officer almost came to blows." Chakotay questioned if it was mutiny, and Janeway replied that the "first Officer walked the plank," or at least, so she heard. (VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy")
