Atlantis Focuses On Wraith

The upcoming fifth season of SCI FI Channel's original series Stargate Atlantis will focus heavily on the Wraith--with a side trip to Las Vegas to commemorate the show's 100th episode, producers told SCI FI Wire during a visit to the show's sets in Vancouver, Canada, on May 16. (Spoilers ahead!)
Other key developments: Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) will have her baby in the fifth season. The character became pregnant last season to accommodate Luttrell's real-life pregnancy. Luttrell has given birth, so her character can follow suit. The baby is delivered on camera by Dr. McKay (David Hewlett). (Inside word is it's a boy!)
Teyla also sees her abilities get out of hand in an episode in which she touches the mind of a Wraith Queen, which activates her Wraith DNA. According to Luttrell, Teyla "embodies" the Wraith Queen--the actress will appear in full Wraith makeup--and becomes "the leader of an alliance of Wraith."
Also look for the return of the Wraith-worshipping Satedan Tyre (Mark Dacascos) in an episode in which he captures Ronon (Jason Momoa) and attempts to sacrifice him to the Wraith. Ronon is given so much Wraith enzyme in the episode that he gives in completely to his dark side and apparently does some serious damage to Sheppard (Joe Flanigan).
Momoa said that he got so deep into his character's rage in the episode that he actually broke a gurney he was strapped to. Momoa called the episode the most fun he's ever had as an actor. (Contrary to previous speculation, however, Momoa does not lose his trademark dreadlocks in the episode.)
Even Dr. Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite) and Richard Woolsey (Robert Picardo) have close encounters with Wraiths in the coming season, the actors confirmed. Staite said that her character will be trapped with a Wraith in one episode. Picardo cited a moment when Woolsey is about to be killed by a Wraith, as an example of his character's emerging courage.
Not everything is about the Wraith though. Flanigan said it's his understanding that filming for the show's upcoming 100th episode will take place in Las Vegas. Though Flanigan claimed to have no more details than that, he surmised that this would probably mean the episode will have to do with the replicators.
Six episodes of Stargate Atlantis' new season are complete, and filming of new episodes continues. The fifth season kicks off in July. --John Sullivan

ARGUMENT16

TOPIC: ARGUMENT16 - The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a local newspaper from a citizen of the state of Impecunia.

"Two years ago our neighboring state, Lucria, began a state lottery to supplement tax revenues for education and public health. Today, Lucria spends more per pupil than we do, and Lucria's public health program treats far more people than our state's program does. If we were to establish a state lottery like the one in Lucria, the profits could be used to improve our educational system and public health program. The new lottery would doubtless be successful, because a survey conducted in our capital city concludes that citizens of Impecunia already spend an average of $50 per person per year on gambling."

WORDS: 376 TIME: Unlimited DATE: 2008-5-25 22:01:00

The author said that their neighboring state, Lucria has a state lottery to supplement tax revenues for education and public health. And the author also concludes that if their state, Impecunia, has a lottery like that, the lottery would be doubtless successful and the profit could be used to improve their educational system and public health program. However, the author fails to convince anybody that the lottery can be profitable.

Firstly, the author's point depends on the assumption that the survey is statistically reliable. Yet, the author offers no evidence to substantiate this assumption. The author must show that not only the quantities of the conducted samples are sufficient, but the samples can represent of every level of age and jobs. Without a statistically reliable survey, the author cannot make any conclusions based on it.

In addition, the author think that the person who spending on gambling will also spending on lottery. Though lottery is a special pattern of gambling, but they are not same. The survey fails to show which patterns of gambling people intend to, thus we cannot predict that whether the lottery can be accept by the players of gambling.

Secondly, the author's inference that the Lucria's state lottery which is effective in Lucria will also be effective in Impecunia rests on the poor assumption that the two states in any aspects are the same. Perhaps Lucria has fewer population of pupil and groups that requires health treatment than us, thus Lucria can spend more on every pupil they has and the person who needs health service.

Furthermore, Lucria started the state lottery two years ago, the author draws the conclusion that the lottery will doubtless be successful if it starts in Impecunia based on the consumers of the lottery can keep increasing in the future. However, we cannot foresee if more consumers of Impecunia will play with this lottery in the future, therefore, we cannot assume that the lottery will be successful let alone about the lottery can be profitable.

In all, the survey provided by the author, which is the base of the new lottery assumption in Impecunia, is lack of statistically credit. Without a credible survey and a reasonable assumption, the author's suggestion about lottery in Impecunia cannot be adopted.

ARGUMENT65----Draft

TOPIC: ARGUMENT65 - The following appeared in a memo from the president of a chain of cheese stores located throughout the United States.

"For many years all the stores in our chain have stocked a wide variety of both domestic and imported cheeses. Last year, however, the five best-selling cheeses at our newest store were all domestic cheddar cheeses from Wisconsin. Furthermore, a recent survey by Cheeses of the World magazine indicates an increasing preference for domestic cheeses among its subscribers. Since our company can reduce expenses by limiting inventory, the best way to improve profits in all of our stores is to discontinue stocking many of our varieties of imported cheese and concentrate primarily on domestic cheeses."

WORDS: 131 TIME: 00:18:45 DATE: 2008-5-19 0:44:18

The president did not show the capacity of the survey's sample, which means we cannot prove that if store domestic cheeses single could bring any profits according to the survey. Nevertheless, the subscribers, whom we do not know which groups they are belong to, will not support the point of storing domestic cheeses primarily perfectly, for the subscribers may intend to choose domestic cheeses but imported ones.

Moreover, the best-selling cheese in our newest store cannot indicate that the cheese would be best-selling in all of our stores. And the recent survey, which gave a prediction, cannot be a strong reason for us to store domestic cheeses primarily. What's more, we did not give any information about the so-called ' an increasing preference' which, however, the increase rate can be tiny.

总有那么一小撮人，总是趁着出事的时候大肆宣传流言。我不明白这些人居心何在，但是不论是ZD抢火炬也好还是最近的惨烈的7.8级地震，我都听到了刺耳的谣言。

版本1：ZF救助不力，1430地震，1800南苑机场才起飞军机救助。不明白4个小时在干嘛……

对于这种人，只能用小白来形容。或许是一辈子没坐过飞机，受到别有用心的人的蛊惑就帮着传谣言……

你们家都是私人飞机？想什么时候飞就飞？你家飞机只装人？见过IL-76么？见过运-八长什么样么？知道什么叫做装货么？知道装货要时间么？

地震不运物资，光运军队去有毛用……你懂不懂……无语了……是不是如果运了人不运物资你就又要发表一些小白高见了？

版本2：地震局早就知道地震，上报国家但是被压制了。

不知怎么形容了……这个大家一看就知道是一帮反革命分子的谣言……
漏洞1：目前没有有效的预报地震手段……
漏洞2：如果真的如你所说，被压制了，那么您的东家CNN、BBC、VOA怎么没有像以往一样秉着“报道事实”的态度来“披露”中国ZF的行为？

这是我在QQ群上看到的……实在是受不了了。
我希望大家看完了这些无知的谣言，不要再复制粘贴了……尤其是如此无知且漏洞百出，没有任何技术含量的谣言。

还有，在群里看到很多人在转一个讽刺ZF的打油诗……很没水平。
不知道这些人怎么想的，国家乱了你高兴是怎么着？成天没事干，不知道工作，就知道发牢骚，于是正好地震又赶上ZD，你可逮着机会发泄了？这么有才，还写一首诗……你跟DhaLai有区别么？
