Director Joe Wright's Peter Pan origin story, "Pan," has found its Tiger Lily: Rooney Mara.
Mara is set to play the character -- a princess of a band of Neverland natives -- alongside the previously-cast Garrett Hedlund and Hugh Jackman, who play a young Captain Hook and the pirate Blackbeard, respectively. "Pan" tells the story of Peter, a London orphan who's brought to Neverland, where he must fight against the evil Blackbeard. He initially befriends Hook, only to have the relationship run afoul.
The film is still looking for someone to play Peter, and studio Warner Bros. has reportedly put out an open casting call for 10- to 12-year-old actors.
Variety reports that "The world being created [in "Pan"] is multi-racial/international," though Mara's casting as Tiger Lily -- a character loosely modeled on a Native American -- has been raising some eyebrows for being just the opposite. The trade goes on to say that Warner Bros. "took on an exhaustive search in finding the right girl to play Lily," and even considered recent Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o for the role before settling on Mara.
Neither Mara nor Warner Bros. have made a statement about the casting yet; we'll have to wait to find out how the actress (known for darker fare, including the title character in "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") fits into Wright's vision.

Republican Lisa Fritsch Running For Texas Governor
AUSTIN (AP) — Conservative commentator Lisa Fritsch says she is seeking the Republican nomination for Texas governor.
Fritsch made the announcement in Austin on Tuesday, promising to promote greater school choice, economic development while fighting special interests.
Fritsch has never held elected office and is running against Attorney General Greg Abbott and former Texas Workforce Commissioner Tom Pauken. Abbott has the financial advantage having raised about $25 million.
Fritsch is originally from Tyler, attended the University of Texas at Austin and hosted a show on KLBJ-AM. She has appeared on conservative political talk shows and wrote a political book called "Obama, Tea Parties and God."
Governor Rick Perry announced earlier this year he would not seek re-election. Fort Worth Sen. Wendy Davis is the only Democrat in the gubernatorial race.

The Day Beatlemania Was Born
When the Beatles took the stage on Oct. 13, 1963, to perform on the variety show Sunday Night at the London Palladium, they were four lads armed with the simple tools of their early classics.
Simply put, rock 'n' roll as we know starts with the Beatles. Give Elvis and all those other pioneers credit for planting the seeds, but almost every rock artist of the past 50 years owes the Fab Four a heap of thanks for setting popular music's template. Their very first album, 1963's 'Please Please Me,' crackles with cross-Atlantic energy – inspired by American pop but rooted in British determination. By the time they made their sixth album, 'Rubber Soul,' they were writing their own songs and, more importantly, shaping a rock and pop landscape that would be explored and expanded on for decades to come. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' is their pop-art masterpiece, but each of the Beatles' 12 albums is a classic. No other group in rock history can make that claim.
When the Beatles took the stage on Oct. 13, 1963, to perform on the variety show Sunday Night at the London Palladium, they were four lads armed with the simple tools of their early classics.
On Oct. 13, 1965, the Beatles spent more than five hours in Abbey Road's Studio Two to record "Drive My Car."
Sources say that the publishing company formed by the merger of Sony Music and Michael Jackson's ATV Music may be sold.
On Oct. 7, 1975, New York State Supreme Court judge Irving Kaufman reversed a deportation order for John Lennon.
It may have taken seven years of making records, but with the release of "Something" on Oct. 6, 1969, George Harrison finally had a composition on the A-side of a Beatles single
Not all cultural revolutions take place overnight. Some begin with little fanfare and take a while to gather steam. That's exactly what happened on Oct. 5, 1962, when the Beatles released their first single, 'Love Me Do,' in the U.K.
For one last shining moment, the Beatles were the Beatles again.
On Sept. 25, 1965, ABC debuted The Beatles, a 30-minute Saturday morning cartoon that became an instant ratings smash for the network.
'Paul Is Dead' rumors, which claimed the Beatle had died, showed up in newspapers on Sept. 23, 1969.
An unnamed buyer has purchased a contract signed by the Beatles during one of their residencies in Hamburg.

Release Date:
February 18, 2003
Rating: nr - Adult Situations, Questionable for Children
A young girl learns some difficult lessons about truth, love, and fidelity in this critically-acclaimed Southern gothic drama. Eve Batiste (Jurnee Smollett) is a ten-year-old girl whose father Louis (Samuel L. Jackson) is a successful and well-liked doctor in an African-American community in Louisiana. Louis is a good father and an excellent provider, but he also has a way of attracting the ladies, and he's not inclined to turn them away. One night, the Batistes hold a party, and Eve, her older sister Cisely (Meagan Good), and their mother Roz (Lynn Whitfield) all notice that Louis is spending a great deal of time dancing with the same woman. Eve later spies her father and the woman in an embrace in the carriage house, though Louis unconvincingly claims that nothing untoward was happening. The evidence of Louis' infidelity takes a toll on the entire family: Cisely, who at age 14 is walking the middle-ground between being a girl and a woman, becomes sullen and confused about her new emotions, Roz takes out her frustrations on her loved ones, and Eve visits Elzora (Diahann Carroll), a voodoo priestess, looking for advice and possibly revenge. Meanwhile, Eve's Aunt Mozelle (Debbi Morgan), who claims to have psychic powers, arrives to stay with the family after the death of her third husband, though she isn't lonely for long after meeting the eccentric Julien Greyraven (Vondie Curtis-Hall). Eve's Bayou was the first project as writer-director for actress Kasi Lemmons; leading man Samuel L. Jackson also co-produced. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

'Frontline diplomacy'
Hosts, students share experiences
It's been more than two years since Henrico residents Jeff and Jessica Pilson welcomed a female VCU student from China into their home as part of a host program the university operates. To call the experience a positive one might be an understatement – especially to the family's three young children.
"My girls think she is part of the family," Jessica Pilson said. "Whenever they tell people how many people we have in the family, they say six."
The Pilsons are among several county families who participate as hosts for international students attending VCU and the University of Richmond. Though the time commitment varies by family, their overall experiences seem similarly positive.
"I was slightly leery, just not having any idea what we'd be getting into," recalled Pilson. "But it's been wonderful, and some of what makes it wonderful is her personality and her culture."
Henrico residents Dennis and Kay King have hosted a number of high school students through their connections with the YMCA of Greater Richmond and Rotary International, as well as several international UR students, in recent years. Serving as hosts has provided the couple with an opportunity to give back.
"We don't have children," King said, "but we have a lot to offer. We wanted to make a contribution to young people's lives. The students really like it. They like simple things like petting the dog, being a part of a family when they're way away from home, having an adult friend in the community."
Both the VCU and UR programs have a number of international students who are interested in spending time with, or living with, local host families but who currently can't be accommodated because of a dearth of participating hosts.
The majority of international students who attend college in the U.S. – more than 75 percent, according to a study cited by VCU Associate Director of International Student Recruitment Bob Wood – never set foot inside an American household during their time here. For that reason, host families who do welcome students into their homes can
play a significant role in the lives of those students, according to Wood.
"It's frontline diplomacy," he said.
Programs benefit students, hosts
Since Wood arrived at VCU in the early 1990s, he has worked to expand the services the university provides to its full-time international undergraduate and graduate students (who currently number about 1,400).
"Part of the reason an international student comes to the states to get an education and study is to experience America," he said, "and you're not just going to do that downtown on a 32,000-student campus."
Today, VCU operates five programs for international students, each with varying levels of commitment from local hosts.
The Host Family program is a residential program in which students live with their hosts for a period of time and pay rent at a rate agreeable to both parties. Some students stay with their hosts for just a few months, while others stay several years. (A handful of students participate currently, and there is significant interest from other students but a lack of local hosts, Wood said.)
In the Friendship Family program, students are paired with families to experience the variety of American life. They may attend meals at their hosts' homes, attend sporting events with them, go shopping or participate together in any number of other activities.
Through the Conversation Partner program, students meet for an hour each week with hosts to practice conversational English.
The International Coffee Hour program invites students, staff and community visitors to gather weekly to socialize in a casual setting.
And each year on major holidays, a number of local hosts invite international students to their homes as a way to give them a taste of a uniquely American holiday, since most students don't return to their homes during breaks.
"One of our families told us [after hosting a student for Thanksgiving dinner] that they enjoyed not having to hear Uncle Tom's same story that he'd told for the past 20 years," Wood joked.
Most of the VCU students who are interested in living with host families are Saudi Arabian males, Wood said.
"They have a very strong family orientation there. Many live in houses that are 15,000 or 20,000 square feet, but six families will live there with parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts – extended families," he said. "You grow up, get married, raise kids and all live there together. They really pride [themselves on] that extended family unit, and I hear from the students [when they arrive here] that they kind of feel isolated or lost. "
Pilson and her husband became interested in participating in VCU's program because they have a heart for missions, she said, but aren't able to leave their home to travel abroad now that they have a young family. She previously had taught in Thailand during a summer and learned of the VCU program because they attended the same church as
The student they were matched with fit in well almost immediately. Though many women in China don't drive, she learned while living with the Pilsons and, like all international students in the VCU program, was able to provide her own transportation to and from campus and around town.
"She did drive over some of my flowers at the front of my driveway when she was learning," Pilson recalled with a laugh. Living with the family has helped the young woman experience a broader range of American life, she said.
"If she hadn't lived with us, she would have pretty much immersed herself in her own culture," Pilson said. "All her friends here are Chinese, and she still spends all her time with them."
More than expected
The University of Richmond is home to 321 full-time international undergraduate and graduate students – about 100 of whom participate in some type of interaction with staff or alumni hosts, according to Krittika Onsanit of UR's Office of International Education. (The UR program is open only to hosts who work at, or graduated from, the university.)
Students don't live with their hosts but do see them regularly and visit their homes for meals or travel around the region to go shopping, dining, sightseeing or participate in other events and activities.
For the Kings, who have hosted a student from Great Britain and another from China through the UR program and who currently are hosting a recently graduated German couple through the YMCA, the benefits of being hosts are numerous.
"In meeting international students, you also meet their friends who are also international students," Kay King said. "On two particular nights at our house, we felt as if we had a United Nations meeting."
The Kings have taken students for trips on their sailboat and have visited other local attractions with them in years past, in addition to hosting birthday parties and other gatherings in their home.
"My impression is just how appreciative [students] are," she said. "They're very expressive about how they don't expect anything. They just expect to come to school [in the U.S.], and all these extras are just a lot more than what they expected.
"There are just so many benefits for everyone."
For VCU's Wood, a lasting impression of his school's program came after matching a student with a local family for a six-month period.
"He came to thank me every day for one month," Wood recalled. "He said, 'thank you for my family – I will come every day to thank you for my family.'"

January 5, 2010 9:30:00 AM
Trustees of the Oktibbeha County School District started off the year with a brief business meeting Monday, approving of the course offerings for the 2010-2011 school year.
Superintendent James Covington presented the high school course selection/curriculum guide for the upcoming school year.
"These are the same courses offered as last year," Covington said. "There are no new courses and no new graduation requirements that we are aware of."
The county school district offers 84 credits for high school students to select from as they choose courses and meet graduation requirements.
The board approved per diem and travel requests as well as other standard requests that come before the board each month. They also approved the claims docket, the means by which the school district pays its bills. Covington said the only non-typical item on the docket was a $184,000 payment to Scholastic for the district''s Read 180 program. Scholastic Read 180 is a reading intervention program designed to improve proficiency.
"We have revamped the reading program in grades four through eight," Covington said. "This is a one-time fee."
Students are back in school today after a holiday break and will be given first semester report cards Friday.

This article is part of the supplement: Genetic Analysis Workshop 17: Unraveling Human Exome Data
Novel tree-based method to generate markers from rare variant data
Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, Yale School of Public Health, School of Medicine, Yale University, 60 College Street, PO Box 208034, New Haven, CT 06520-8034, USA
BMC Proceedings 2011, 5(Suppl 9):S102 doi:10.1186/1753-6561-5-S9-S102Published: 29 November 2011
Existing methods for analyzing rare variant data focus on collapsing a group of rare variants into a single common variant; collapsing is based on an intuitive function of the rare variant genotype information, such as an indicator function or a weighted sum. It is more natural, however, to take into account the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) interactions informed directly by the data. We propose a novel tree-based method that automatically detects SNP interactions and generates candidate markers from the original pool of rare variants. In addition, we utilize the advantage of having 200 phenotype replications in the Genetic Analysis Workshop 17 data to assess the candidate markers by means of repeated logistic regressions. This new approach shows potential in the rare variant analysis. We correctly identify the association between gene FLT1 and phenotype Affect, although there exist other false positives in our results. Our analyses are performed without knowledge of the underlying simulating model.

In the last few months a number of child abuse cases have been resolved in criminal court.
The resolution in these cases has been nearly identical.
The mother has received prison time while the male accused in the case received a lighter sentence.
In all of these cases the man accused wasn't the father of the abused child. Instead it was a boyfriend, paramour, lover, whatever label you want to put on him- he was somebody the mother just allowed into the life of her child.
Ladies it is time to wake up.
Your children are your responsibility. They depend on you for everything. And that includes keeping them safe.
Maybe you feel you got "stuck" with raising your child by yourself and you think you are still going to "have a life."
Guess what- you still can have a life. But your free wheeling days of walking around with an anything goes attitude are over. Your life now revolves around your child.
Instead of hitting the bar scene you are afforded the privilege of attending school functions, little league games and the occasional trip to Chucky Cheese. Yes I said privilege because that is what it is.
For those women out there who feel they need a man in their lives to complete it- get over it. Bringing random men into the lives of your children will not end well. Don't believe me?
Ask Lindsay Norris and Michelle Douglas. While these two women sit in prison for the next few years the men involved in their cases will have served their time and moved on.
None of us will ever know what happens behind the closed door in abuser's home. But I would say it's a sure bet the details are some none of us could stomach. Which leads me back to- how can women allow random men into the lives of their children?
Is it a sense of inadequacy that drives these women into any set of open and willing arms? Are the impulsive, indiscriminate hook- ups fueled by an addiction that has spiraled beyond any hope of control?
We don't know- they probably don't know.
But what is apparent is that for some reason women are allowing men, of questionable character, near their children.
From the moment children are conceived they are dependent on their mothers for everything. This need doesn't stop just because you no longer share a body with them.
With every decision women make their first thought should be- how does this affect my children? And I have to ask if women are really thinking about that?
It sounds cliché but being a parent is a full-time job. Being a good parent is a lifelong commitment. Ladies, if you can't handle that then speak up and let someone know. Ask for help to beat your addiction, raise your self-esteem or generally get your head screwed on straight.
Don't expose your children to potential harm, permanent scars of all types and a lifestyle that perpetuates abuse. Make no mistake, your children are watching you. So ask yourself if you would like what they see?

Finishing the project7 years ago News 6 comments
During the coming Christmas holidays we will try to finish this mod and release a final version perhaps in late January next year.
This mod adds some great new gameplay to the game. Virtually everything have been tweaked and modified and around 80 new units and 20+ new structures have been added. In combination with new generals, superweapons and powers. New music and sounds for some units.
This mod will take the fight to the sea in huge naval battles between submarines, destroyers, battleships and gunboats. It will take fighting in the sky to new levels with a broad variety of aircrafts and helicopters. The GLA can now participate in these fights. But the real battle will take place on the ground, engaging mammoth overlords, light vipers and specialised infantry units.
With tons of new and improved units to play with, Destructive Forces will keep you busy for hours! Skirmish is supported.
"This mod does what Zero Hour did to Generals, to Zero Hour! Each side is even more diverse than before, some Generals may be absolutely horrible against others, and some may be a fair fight. The only units that are shared even between the countries are the supply gatherers, and sometimes even that's not the case!"
Here are the new generals you get to play around with.
-Airforce General
-Tech & Naval General
-Commander in Chief
-Assault General
-Tech & Naval General
-Commander in Chief
-Artillery General
-EMP & Napalm General
-Stealth & Naval General
-United Arabs
-Terror Leader
-Toxic Warfare General
-Mother of all coalitions (MOAC)
-United Generals
14 new generals, more than 85 new units, new Generals powers and plenty of Naval units, what more could you ask for?
Designed for multiplay with unique strength and abilities for all different generals. A general superior in one type of game may be useless in another....
NOTE: This mod is for Zero Hour only, and for the English version. IF you have another version all in-game text will not display properly. To fix this : copy the contents in the English folder to your language-folder located in "gamedir/Data".
Download available through moddb
Version 1.4 is now available for download (as soon as it has been approved by moddb).
About six years from initial release of this mod (that means about three weeks ago), I heard about C&C Generals 2 (release date late 2012). So I just had to once again play some Destructive Forces to relive some fun LAN moments. Now, since this was a Skirmish-endeavor I couldn't help but notice the lack of AI in this mod. And even though I know that I've said to myself in the past that fixing the AI was too complicated, I couldn't resist starting up World Builder and play around. So I decided to start this last™ project with DF, codenamed "Make the AI use the SW for all sides, and add in some other AI enhancements like building units and attacking". Now, I am nowadays a busy guy so the time-budget for this project was at max 2h/day for a period of two or so weeks (I like to "finish" things I start). Now, 40 or so hours later, with 80% of that being skirmish game-time, I hereby give you version 1.4 of Destructive Forces with working* AI, two new generals and some smaller changes.
You can grab the latest version here

This mod seems wonderful!
What about challenges, are working? or do you plan to make em?
Challenges(on Hard) are the best part of Generals (&mods of it) for me - i miss the early '2000 LAN parties(But now i'm living in Palermo - a primitive zone of the God forsaken land - only PlayStation monkeys around)
I think most challenges should work, although I know that one or two will crash the game. Well, good thing you have internet ;). There are still ppl playing this game on gamespy, gameranger and on various hamachi networks. but yea, I also miss those LAN parties, back in the old days :).
im having a problem when i install it it keeps coming up some message saying serious error has occurred
Are you using the installer or installing manually? Is your ZH patched to version 1.04 or are you using C&C First Decade? Make sure there are no leftovers from any other mod...Does it crash instantly when starting the game? Try reinstalling ZH if you have had any other mods installed.
to quote my friend tychus "hell, its about time!" DF 1.3 was the **** for me as well as shockwave. now 1.4 wow ^_^ 2 yrs he released 1.3 i dled it the day he released it. Dude u basically made an epic mod keep up the good work!
XitArs, ironsides mammoth would sound a lot better if u used the sound files from tib wars.
an update....oh my GOD!!!!!
Hey i made a PNG version of your logo could i give it to you to upload, or where else could i upload it to. BTW awesome mod, I downloaded 1.4 why have you taken it off the download list?
Hey, sure, do that. I fixed a bug that caused the game to crash and updated the download. However, moddb has to approve the files before you can download it so I guess that won't be until tomorrow... I also uploaded an automated installer.
I think he's fixing up the remainder bugs, causing crashes.
Great expansion to Reborn. Glad to see old timers like Anus Panda and XitArs back in action.
Highest Rated (3 agree) 8/10
just some bug need to fix
and better AI
if the bug fixed and get better ai
this will rock :D

Desk Top Technician Interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DynCorp International in February 2012.
The interview process took about 15min. The recruiter just grilled me about what I diid on my last job. After the interview the recruiter seemed satisfied and offer a salary package that I did not accept. She told me that the ball pack and no room for negotiation. I declined her offer
Interview Questions
- How do you handle an upset user, who is afraid of missing her report deadline due to Computer issue Answer Question
- How do you deal with a team member when an issue arise that leads to unpleasant working environment Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
I believe the offer is about $25k short of what other employers offer for this position to work in war zone. I made more than her offer working in Iraq, which is consider less dangerous than Afghanistan

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by drgb Has all the elements I wanted in a reduced calorie food That said, my dog does not seem to enjoy it and is trying to eat the other dogs' food. It may just take some time to get used to. We'll see by the end of the bag whether I will repurchase it. December 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by lharlow12 This product is excellent for weight control and my dog loves it This product is excellent for weight control and my dog loves it and she is a VERY picky eater. I thought she would refuse to eat it for a couple days like she always does when I give her a new type of food - but not this time :) She dug right in and loves it. She loves the taste and love seeing her get her girlish figure back :) I also loved the extremely fast shipping. Linda April 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by 304jims This product was recommended by our vet. Our chubby Shin Tzu lost a few pounds. He now has a waist and more energy. Thank you Nutro Natural Choice. September 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Retired Our Doxie loves it We've been feeding this food to our 10-year old spayed Doxy with a sensitive stomach for over a year to control her weight. It works well to control her weight and the oatmeal and brown rice in the food helps with her sensitive stomach. March 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cat4Pets GREAT for Miniature Dachschunds! Our 14y/o mini doxy gets compliments all the time for her slim figure and shiny coat. Also, since she was started on this food with the high fiber content, we no longer have a certain gland issue. She is able to express them naturally. She is happy, still healthy at 14 and we could not be more pleased with Nutro and Chewy. September 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Katie88 Nutro Natural Choice Small Breed Adult Weight Management My pups love this food and it has really helped me manage their weight. One needed to lose a bit while the other needed to maintain. We have reached our goals with this food, so that is great! We previously used the regular Nutro Natural Choice Small Breed Adult food. June 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaninesCook Our Vet's Suggestion We just switched to this kibble at our vet's suggestion and both dogs seem to really enjoy it. Supposedly, it contains everything they need to be healthy, so I'm a big fan of it, too. February 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by PingosMom Great product! My diabetic Bichon stopped eating his prescription food. This food has similar content proportions, but because it is chicken-flavored, my dog LOVES it! Also, the kibble bits are nice and small, making it much easier for him to eat. October 5, 2014

Deval Patrick: Boston 'ready' for minority mayor - 0 Comments
Boston is primed to elect its first minority mayor, Gov. Deval Patrick said yesterday on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
"People in public life are constantly underestimating the voters," Patrick said. "The voters are ready. They're ready to be trusted with fact. They're ready to be trusted with vision, including big vision about the future. And they're ready to engage, and I think we're seeing that in the city, I think we're seeing that in the commonwealth."

Seven of Nines Character & Her Development - Was She Meant to Die?

Location: The Badlands
Seven of Nines Character & Her Development - Was She Meant to Die?
Who created the Seven of Nine character??? I was watching
the recent Trekcore interview with Brannon Braga
and the following was said at 4:54
A lot of fans say that Braga kinda defanged the Borg in Voyager by making them less of a threat. What are your thoughts on that? Do you think there is anything behind that, or in your opinion were they the same as they were in the Next Generation?
I think that for the most part, the Borg were a very successful villain on Voyager. I dont think they were They were defanged only in so much as they kept getting their a**es kicked! You know, once the Borg loses enough times, which is [***Comic Spoiler***] Thats the danger when you keep bringing them back. I think we brought them back, maybe twice too many [times]. There were a couple Borg episodes I dont think were quite as successful. I dont remember the finale well enough cause I think I have a story credit on it, so youd think Id remember it. I dont know that the Borg were super impactful there. Again, I think Seven of Nine should have bit the dust. I think there had to be a human sacrifice, a real sacrifice, for this crew getting home; a real blood sacrifice. Seven of Nine was, for me, designed to be a character that was gonna die tragically. I planned that.
A Spock moment. Somebody whos not human, who becomes human by making the ultimate sacrifice.
Thats right. Well, theres an episode called Human Error that I wrote in the final season, where she tries to she experiments on the holodeck- its actually quite an interesting episode. Shes trying to feel emotions. And she actually succeeds, but then almost dies. She learns that theres a Borg implant, that if she becomes too human, it will kill her. It was at that moment in my mind that would set up the finale, where she realized that she cant live here, she cant live there. And she dies getting her family home. And, I think then that you have a finale.
At first, he said that
for him
Seven was designed to be a character that was going to die tragically. Then he said that he planned that. He then mentioned how the episode Human Error had plot developments that would tie into his plan on an emotional level. Do you think that this was something that was really planned from the beginning by "the powers that be" (meaning more people that just Braga) or that Braga just came up with it at some point? He did say that
for him
it was planned this way. When I listened to this portion of the interview, it reminded me of the tv show
. A Producer, I forget which one, said that they always planned for Juliets story to end tragically and that was the reason they gave her the name Juliet (reminding us of the tragic Juliet from Shakespeares Romeo & Juliet).
Im of course glad that 7 didnt die. Perhaps "the powers that be" overrode Bragas desire to kill her in case they wanted to use her in some sort of Trek film (assuming they didnt want to pull another Spock moment and have her brought back to life in a film). Or, perhaps they just wanted the finale to be more Janeway centric vs. 7 centric. Anywho, while Im glad 7 didnt die, I think that that death would have made more sense than Trips death on Enterprise.
