Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
And yeah, John somehow managed not to get himself demoted to Ensign there ... he's trying hard. Poor guy. I think right about now he's wishing he'd just stayed on the Titan, which offered him plenty of adventure with none of the emotional baggage.
Icheb's "new friends," I guess we're calling them now, are definitely ready to play hardball. We'll see what that means ... thanks for the great review!

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
And just when you think things can't get worse - the Admiral shows up! Hee hee. Mind the Admiral might just be of help and afterall he wants to preserve his own ass too. So I'll try and think the better of him. Adele should to - or at least give him a chance to see what value he turns out to be. I guess with Berkley it is all dependent upon his own agenda.
John showing deepening concern and Maren tries her best nonchalant stance but I think she might understand the headache she has caused for the captain down the line. It remains interesting to see how that all pans out.
In addition, Icheb's condition and prognosis are somewhat confirmed. He is in a bad place in more ways than one. Hardball indeed. Maybe the ship's saviours might prove to be the Good Samaritan they purport. I doubt it somehow. There's bound to be more to it. But Icheb's stubbornness knows just when to kick in - namely at the end of the chapter so we can't discover more. Grrr.

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
If you think John is a wreck now, wait until he finds out his best friend went missing while he was down in engineering worrying over Maren.
As far as Maren goes, yeah, she has an idea this could all be problematic ....
With regard to Icheb's situation, I could possibly rename this story Icheb and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and it would work. Except it's gone on way longer than a day. (Actually, you could insert Adele's or Maren's name there, too, and it would still work.) Icheb's "new friends" may be able to help him, but at what price?
Oh, and I have to laugh at the comment about Icheb's stubbornness knowing when to kick in ... his motto is pretty much, "You can't make me," isn't it? He's compliant and helpful as long as it's his choice, but you can't really force him to do much, as Seven found out repeatedly on VOY. Surprise, the stubborn kid turned into a stubborn adult.

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
Ensign Matthew Dean had seen some interesting things in the two years since he had graduated Starfleet Academy, but nothing he had seen up to this point was as fascinating or eerie as the four Borg drones lying behind a level ten force field in the brig of the USS Tesseract. He had seen holographic representations before, and they were pretty realistic, enough to scare you pretty badly during tactical simulations. But the drones lying in separate cells just a couple of meters away from him were the real thing. One was dead, or at least he was pretty sure it was. One, he was calling "Brain" because, well, he could see it, and if he didn't turn it into some kind of joke, he might throw up. The other two were just out cold.
This hadn't been covered in the tactical simulations -- what to do with a bunch of unconscious Borg drones. He had called medical for the drones, but sickbay was apparently slammed with patients and he had been waiting for a doctor to show up for several minutes. As he waited, he sat behind the computer console in the brig, watching tactical and systems updates flash by on the screen, and eyeing the motionless Borg with wary interest. He was really too young to remember much about the Battles of Sector 001 or Wolf 359, so everything he knew about the Borg had been learned from his classes at school, and the memories of those a bit older than him who had seen it firsthand. He was surprised at how small the drones actually were. For some reason, he had always thought of them as larger than an average humanoid, but then again, he had seen the ship's ex-Borg first officer walking around and he looked normal enough.
As he gazed idly at the console display, a security report marked PRIORITY ONE caught his attention, but as he reached out to freeze the display, John Quigley stormed into the brig, looking pale and stressed out and more than a little bit angry. He was carrying the top half of his tactical armor and his helmet under one arm, and as he walked in, he threw it all into a corner to be dealt with later. Matt could see the tactical gear was streaked with blood, and John's hands were a mess, as well.
"Have you called medical for these prisoners?" John asked as he walked over to the small lavatory and started wash his hands in the sonic sink.
"Yes, sir, they're on their way, supposedly. I guess sickbay is kind of slammed right now. "
John looked perplexed for a moment, then a look of understanding crossed his face. "People must have gotten hurt when the ship rocked. What caused that, anyway?"
"An explosion on the Borg cube, sir. The tactical reports are all here," he said, indicating the console.
"Thanks, Matt," John answered distractedly. Matt noticed that John's hands were clean now, but he still held them in the sonic sink, staring at them with an odd expression on his face. Matt suddenly wondered if he was all right. John was normally a friendly, easygoing guy, but his entire demeanor had changed the moment they'd arrived outside engineering. Rumor had it he and the chief engineer had something going on, and nothing that Matt had seen this morning had done anything to dispel that notion. He hoped the engineer would be okay, as much for John's sake as for hers. The lieutenant looked pretty shaken.
Matt looked back at the console display and brought up the priority one advisory. His eyes widened as he read the report. "Sir, there's something here you should probably see," Matt told John. John glanced over, then looked back down at his hands and seemed to shake himself out of his fog.
"What is it?" he asked, walking over to Matt and leaning over his shoulder to view the display.
"A priority one security advisory. The first officer is being held hostage." John looked at Matt sharply and gently pushed him aside, leaning forward to get a better look. He read it first quickly, then again more carefully, staring at each word in stunned disbelief.
"Fuck," he exclaimed under his breath, bringing his hand down hard on the console. "You're in charge here until further notice, Ensign," he said. "I'll be in sickbay."
Adele and Admiral Beckley walked into the brig just moments after John had left, and the ensign on duty snapped to attention so hard Adele wondered if he would be sore the next morning.
"At ease," the two superior officers said in unison. Adele exchanged a glance with the admiral, who smiled at her. Blank. Creepy. No emotion. She forced herself to smile back.
"Explain what we have here, Ensign," Adele requested.
Matt glanced at the four occupied cells. "Four Borg drones. One appears to be dead, another is seriously injured, and two are unconscious. Medical has been called, they're sending someone now. They're behind a level ten forcefield, a strong dampening field, and according to Lieutenant Telek in engineering, their neural transceivers have been temporarily disabled by a Kedion pulse, sir."
So that's what O'Connor was up to, Adele thought. Icheb's cortical monitor must have given her the idea. Suddenly, she froze. All at once, her mind made several connections, and she realized she might have a very, very large problem on her hands. There was no way to be sure without talking to Maren directly, but Adele suddenly had a sneaking suspicion that her chief engineer might have been trying to save more than just the ship.
"When can we question them?" asked Admiral Beckley, who hadn't taken his eyes off the drones.
"You'll have to consult medical about that, sir. I have no idea how to wake them up, and with all due respect, I don't feel comfortable trying," Matt answered.
"I suppose that could be a good way to get yourself assimilated," the admiral conceded, a little flippantly.
Matt nodded solemnly in reply and eyed the drones warily. "Medical should be here any time now, you can ask the doctor."
"I'll do that," Beckley replied.
Adele saw her opportunity and took it. "Admiral, if you wouldn't mind waiting alone for medical, I'd like to run up to sickbay myself and check on my chief engineer. She was injured after the drones beamed aboard."
The admiral looked at her, his expression as unreadable as his emotions -- if he has any, Adele thought wryly. "I'm sorry to hear that, Captain," he said, sounding reasonably sincere. "She gave me a fascinating tour of engineering just this morning. Please tell her I hope she recovers soon." Adele resisted the urge to shudder at the void of emotion coming from the man.
"I'll be sure to do that, sir," she replied, and took one last long look at the unconscious drones before heading for sickbay.
John took a deep breath as he surveyed the chaotic scene in front of him. Sickbay was packed. There were at least two dozen crewmen inside, all being treated for minor injuries suffered when the ship had been rocked by the explosion on the Borg cube. He stood in the doorway, scanning the room until he saw Maren lying on a biobed in a comparatively quiet corner, tucked away behind a small partition. No one was with her, but there was a diagnostic arch over her head and it looked like she was unconscious again. Someone had cleaned most of the blood off her face, but her blonde hair was still streaked with it. With all of the medical staff busy, there was no one to prevent him from going over to her, so he did.
"Maren?" he whispered, taking her hand. She didn't answer. She was out cold -- probably sedated, he thought. There was no way he was leaving her to find out the news from someone else when she woke up, so he grabbed a nearby visitors chair, pulled it close to the bed and sat down, watching her breathe as he held onto her hand and tried to figure out how to tell her Icheb was missing.
"How did you get back here?" a voice said from behind him. He turned around in his chair to see Sheila Duggal, the doctor Maren had been working with a few nights before.
"By walking," John answered truthfully. He knew he probably sounded like a smartass, but he didn't much care.
Sheila gave him a look of irritation mixed with sympathy. "You're not supposed to be in here. I can let you know when we move her to a real room or release her to her quarters."
John looked at the tiny, dark-haired doctor with a tired expression. "I'm not leaving. Call security if you feel like it, but they're kind of tied up right now."
Sheila looked at him for a moment, sighed, and briefly placed a comforting hand on his shoulder before turning her attention to the scanning arch. John figured that meant she wasn't calling security. "Thanks," he said quietly.
She glanced at him. "No problem," she replied.
"Is she okay?" John asked, as Sheila checked the monitors.
Sheila nodded. "She should be. We'll need to watch her for a couple of days to make sure the swelling goes down, but Doctor Bashir was able to stop the bleeding in her brain pretty quickly. She got hit really hard; do you know how it happened?"
John shook his head. "I'm not totally sure. I think she got thrown by one of the drones, but I didn't see it happen."
"Well, between the head injury and the hangover, she'll have a hell of a headache, but we can treat that," Sheila told him.
John smiled wryly at the mention of the hangover. "She definitely partied a little too hard last night," he said.
"Fire water?" Sheila asked. John nodded, looking surprised. "Yeah, we had quite a few people in here early this morning trying to get that out of their systems," Sheila explained. "And now, this happens," she added, gesturing toward the packed sickbay. "Busy day so far. And apparently it's about to get worse."
"What do you mean?"
"One of the drones is being transported here. It's got a worse head injury than Maren, but it's alive. I guess we're going to try and treat it."
John nodded. He didn't have much to say to that. He returned his gaze to his unconscious friend and tightened his grip on her hand.
"Have you ever told her how you feel about her?" Sheila asked curiously, as she saw the expression on his face as he looked at her. John looked up like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"We're friends," he insisted.
Sheila rolled her eyes skeptically. "Sure you are."
Admiral Beckley stared at the drones in their separate cells with quiet anticipation. Part of the Tesseract mission was to determine the status of the Borg Collective, and now, they had three of its members alive and in captivity. If he had believed in such a thing as luck, he would have felt like it had shined on them today.
For the moment, he was glad the Borg were unconscious. It gave him time to consider the options. He wondered if this was what the young engineer he had met this morning had had in mind when she had done whatever she did to neutralize them, instead of killing them. Somehow, he doubted it. She didn't seem like the tactically-minded type, she was too much of a scientist.
As he recalled his one and only interaction with Maren O'Connor, he couldn't help but think of the way she had behaved around Commander Icheb, and suddenly, an intriguing question entered his mind. What if, due to the nature of her relationship with the exec, she sees these drones as something other than a faceless enemy? She was just young enough, he realized, that the similarly young ex-drone exec may very well have been her only exposure to the Collective beyond what she had learned in school. He raised his eyebrows as he considered the implications of that.
He watched quietly as the Vulcan doctor, Sarik, set up a site-to-site transport to sickbay for himself and the badly injured drone, whose injuries he had quickly determined were too severe to be treated with the medkit. The other two live drones had been given some sort of treatment for their neural shock, but had not yet regained consciousness. Admiral Beckley waited patiently, and as he did, he contemplated the situation with the first officer.
Who would have technology sophisticated enough to neutralize both the best of Federation technology and the Borg Collective, and what would they want with Commander Icheb? More to the point, he wondered, why would they think we would risk the safety of everyone on this ship just to get him back? His best guess was that they didn't expect that. Then what do they want? He didn't have any answers yet, but he was fairly certain that the drones might.

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
Well words sorta fail me as this chapter kicks up the gurgling excitement in my gut as to what this is leading up to. And if the Admiral is at a loss as to what is going on then I am certainly at a loss. This is one terrific piece of story-telling.
Here we have emotion and changing scenes zipping pass at breakneck speeds and the urgency and immediacy of the chapter just hooks you in. I don't know why it all feels so urgent ... but it does! And that makes me nervous for some reason.
You reveal and hold back things and it is EXTREMELY effective at keeping the reader on tender-hooks. I swear this tale comes with a secret supply if ketrecel white to get us addicted. Super stuff kes7.
Like the different POVs we get, the ensign's being a nice start to the whole thing and the Admiral's a terrific reward for the reader at the end.
Now, has Icheb just been laying about? And what was Maren thinking?

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
Adele is unfortunate enough to have Beckley nipping at her heels, and takes her first opportunity to ditch him in the brig. Whatever his reasons for being there, Beckleys presence is disruptive to the smooth operation of the senior staff (as Im sure he knows) as various personnel are constantly looking over their shoulders and second-guessing themselves when hes around. Not to mention that he just plain gives Captain Oyugo the creeps.
These were some terrific character moments right in the placid eye of the storm. Soon, the other eye-wall will threaten to sweep them right back into the chaos.

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
Another terrific chapter. A couple comments, the first of which I've been meaning to say for a while.
John Q is ... hot. Maybe I'm projecting, but then, that's part of what good writing does to/for you---provides a compelling framework with enough space for the reader to flesh out, as it were. As with all the characters, you've taken your time with John. He's a good guy, impetuous but a nurturer, though he might not realize it as such. The image of him sitting in sickbay, holding Maren's hand (and isn't he on duty? shouldn't he be checking in with someone?), in half his security gear, hair probably all tussled, and looking like he's scared he's about to lose his whole world... Like I said: compelling. Man, between the brooding/simmering/techno-exotic-cyborg/genius/hot-geek, Icheb, and the affable/handsome (there I am projecting on to the fellow)/stalwart/boy-next-door/ tactical-jock, John, poor Maren is in some serious trouble. How does she concentrate?! HAH! Our young, emotionally vulnerable chief engineer never had a chance.
And second: I feel so sorry for those Borg in the brig. The Admiral is curious! Beckley's curiosity feels soooo appetitive, mind-hungry. (Reminds me of the Borg, actually, with a dash of malice.) I imagine Beckley interrogating the hapless drones, a small smile tugging at his lips, as he matter-of-factly informs them, "Resistance is futile." Beckley, I suspect, is a man fluent in the language of irony.
Thanks, again, K7. That was a fun read. More please!

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
I loved the intro to our young security officer at the beginning, a rounding out of this crew that I've always thought you do really well. A few short strokes, but we feel straight away who this guy is. A nice touch using this POV to intro John and then sucker punch him with news of Icheb.
As Gibraltar said above, the news of Icheb's dissapearance is not going to improve John's complex feelings for Maren, but I really feel for the guy - that scene in sickbay was really well done, making us appreciate all the strength of John's love for both his friends.
And finally the Admiral... Ah, the Admiral. I thought his whole storyline and - creepy - outlook was perfectly summarised in his reaction to this Borg attack - he thinks this is his lucky day!
All in all, and in the words of Barney Stinson, awesome!

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
I know you don't appreciate my soap opera analogy but boy oh boy have you set up a complicated love triangle here. Icheb wants Maren but Maren doesn't want Icheb and John kinda wants Maren and is best friends with Icheb and Maren kind of wants John but only when she's hammered and generally doesn't know what she wants ... and so on. That's some tense human drama.
It's also a very exciting read.

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
mirandafave -- You know, if I was paranoid, I could totally translate that review as, "I'm not sure what to say because I don't know what this chapter was about and I'm at a loss. I'm not even sure why I like this story, unless you're putting drugs in it, that might explain it!" Heh. No, seriously, thanks for the review, and I'm glad it kept your interest even if you're not sure why. As for Icheb, we'll catch up with him soon, and Maren won't be sedated forever ... we'll see what she has to say for herself.
Gibraltar -- Thanks for the review, I appreciate it! I don't think there's much breath-catching going on for poor John. More like breath-holding as he waits to find out more about what's become of his friend and also waits to see how Maren will react to the whole thing. He's not much for sitting around in a crisis, either, so the fact that he's just sitting there next to Maren is kind of a sign of how important she is to him and how badly he thinks she might react to the news of Icheb's kidnapping. As for Beckley, he's certainly disruptive, but he's also SI. The chance to analyze drones fresh from the Collective is a rare opportunity, one that he's not about to pass up if he can help it, whether that's "officially" his job or not. And yes, he gives Adele the creeps. I'm glad you liked the small breather to see the characters reacting to what's happening before the eyewall hits again.
Diogenes -- Thanks for the review! I don't think you're projecting anything onto John ... I'm pretty sure I've mentioned in-story that people think he's very attractive. So if you find him hot, that's good! I think your assessment of him as a nurturer is dead-on. It's in his nature to take care of people and protect them, which might seem a little ironic for a tactical officer who blows stuff up, until you think about why he does that. I have to say I laughed out loud at this, though:
CaptainSarine -- Thanks for reviewing! I like seeing things from the lower decks POV once in a while. I think it keeps things grounded. When the focus is 100% senior staff, I think you lose sight of the effects the decisions made by the decisionmakers have on the rest of the (huge) crew. And of course, then we had the sucker punch -- nice, accurate description of how I'm sure J.Q. felt when he saw that advisory. "Hey, you just kissed the love of your best friend's generally miserable life, and now he's being held hostage by dangerous aliens! You suck!"
CeJay -- Thanks for the comments and compliment. I'm glad you find the characters compelling. I can live with the soap opera analogy as long as people keep reading, and as long as we differentiate beteen daytime and prime time ... I hope this is closer to the latter! Or we can go back to calling it "space opera." I liked that one. I do have to quibble with you here:

Re: Star Trek: Tesseract
I am afraid I rather like Beckley the more we get to see inside his head. It's hard not to admire him the same way you'd admire the craft of a predator at work. I know Starfleet has had it's share of icky and outright bad people but I'm still pulling for him to ultimately have the good of Starfleet and the UFP at heart; but in the mislead Section 31 kind of way!
Either way I can't wait to see and I'm strangely less worried about Icheb - who
I am confident can handle himself very well thank you, than the hapless victims of Beckley - Bwaa Haa Haa Haa! It'll be hard to wait though!

So we have one liker of Beckley. You are in the minority so far! You better be careful, maybe he's sucking you into his web of manipulation ... or maybe you're right and he's not totally evil. I'm not saying either way.
Sorry about the wait, but you're a parent, too, you know how it is this time of year! Merry Christmas!

Star Trek will be out of date soon!
In a decade or so Star Trek will be woefully out-of-date and its already on the borderline of being out-of-date. Technology we use today is oddly absent in our Trek future because the core of Trek is still based on the 60s template. In 10 years we will have wearable computers/augmented reality/ultra smartphones and god knows what else, people are going to wonder wtf happened to our future where they appear to be stuck in a pre-Apple era!! It is supposed to be the future! Warp drive and automatic doors only are not going to fool people for much longer ;)
Is it possible to adapt Star Trek or will this generation and the next generation simply stop watching it because its seems so dated?
I dont think Trek will ever be able to return to TV without some form of radical reboot that brings it up to speed. It may be better to keep it as a movie franchise and hide this 'dated future' behind lots of action and special effects.
Will this happen or will Trek adapt somehow?
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
Yeah this happens. It happened with the 60's Trek and go figure... we got four more series and a eleven movies and counting still.
Sure, there's a ton of episodes where something as basic as an iphone would be highly useful to the crew.
As time goes on, it's only fitting that our vision of the future evolves with the times. Star Trek has demonstrated it can do this, and I'm sure it will continue to do so.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
They did tweak the 60s template in the TNG-era under the guise of having moved into the future and therefore TNG is more futuristic looking and has more futuristic 'gadgets' like touchscreen computers and voice recognition and flat screen monitors, commbadges etc.... and we are now living in this future and in some ways surpassed it.
So when it gets re-invented again they will have to either go further forward into the Trek future and into a post TNG era or they need to properly reboot and put some new gadgets in like TNG did that are appropriate for todays and tomorrows audience that are futuristic now, not futuristic 30 years ago.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
You presume people watch Trek exclusively for the technology featured in it. it's sci-fi, so technology is intrinsic.
Star Trek really is thinking man's science fiction, as well as depicting a positive future for humanity. Those are the true points of appeal IMO.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
Any futuristic science-fiction will become out of date because it's made in the here and now, not in the future.
Things get old. You either build from it and keep moving forward or you spend a whole lot of time trying to fix the past.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
Sure, I realise people watch for other reasons than technology, they watch it to be entertained. I am not debating this.
I also realise that everyone here who watches and enjoys Star Trek now will love Trek as it is now and believe that it is not necessary to change it because its fine. Fair enough.
But will the next generation who are born and grow up today watch Star Trek in its current form when they become adults or will they just laugh at it and thus begin a decline of Trek into insignificance as its core audience dies off!?! :)
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
I watched mission impossible 4 a few weeks ago. Now I realise the tech in that is not currently available, but in a decade or two many of them will be. For example, we have an agent wearing a contact lense that communicates with his smartphone. It tells his smartphone who he is seeing. This is tech beyond anything seen in Star Trek and it is in a movie set in our present day rather than in 250-350 years time. Examples like this are everywhere in TV and Movies now. Trek is standing still whilst the world moves on :P
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
I do think that eventually it will be necessary to reboot Star Trek from the ground up -- not just do an alternate timeline in the same reality, but completely start over and build a new version of the universe from first principles -- in order for future generations to relate to it. And I don't understand why many fans are so resistant to that. What's important about Star Trek isn't the minutiae of continuity or worldbuilding, but the characters and themes and ideas, the spirit of adventure and sense of wonder. In its day, ST was on the cutting edge, not only in its futurism but its social progressiveness, its dramatic sophistication (it was the first non-anthology SF series to be written on the same level as the adult dramas of the era), and its daring sexuality. By the '90s and '00s it had become the stolid, conservative establishment franchise that new upstarts like Babylon 5 and the rebooted Battlestar Galactica were pushing beyond and deconstructing. Now it's increasingly seen as retro and nostalgic. Which doesn't seem right for a franchise that's about looking forward to the future. It would be good to have a Star Trek that was as much on the cutting edge for its own era as TOS was for the '60s.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
This thread is out of date, we've already had this discussion. ;)
And seeing as how we missed out on the Eugenics Wars, I think we can safely conclude that the Star Trek timeline cannot be our own timeline.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
When this reboot happens and Trek is again at the cutting edge it is likely that we will hate it and we will not relate to it but the target audience will. We will put old repeats of Trek on whilst our children and grandchildren are glued to the TV/Tablet/Computer in another room watching NEW NU-Trek in all its futuristic splendour whilst we realise that we are old :) Its like the music of the 40s vs the music of the 60s?!!?? Its all part of natural evolution! Trek has to adapt & change as well.
Spock will be a girl and Kirk will be gay. They are all Borg-like but without visible implants! And when they beam down to a planet they will wear Iron Man esque space suits that can do all sorts. Its coming people. Get ready for the post Abrams Trek of the 2020s. It has to change and it will, it is inevitable.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
If Trek did something really new I would be genuinely surprised. Our stories are archetypal and tap into the same psychological appetites. There's a reason why popular action stories follow Campbell's monomyth so closely.
They'll have different gadgets and different sensibilities (about politics and sexuality), but the structure will be the same.
The narrative will only really change once the human race hits the singularity, and we will have much bigger issues to consider at that time than the continuity of Star Trek.
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
It has to change because its in the future. How can a science fiction show set in our future be taken seriously when our hero is unable to do something on some faraway planets surface that we could do today by taking our smartphone out?
Sure, the fact we got there in a giant spaceship with FTL travel seems like a futuristic concept but when in the next few years we start to see wearable computers where information may be conveyed through glasses or a contact lense and 'augment' our reality using directions etc (like a sat nav hud on top of your vision !) how do you explain that these technologies are simply ignored and binned in the future? Where did they go? Wouldn't it be handy if they actually had them? Its the future afterall!
Re: Star Trek will be out of date soon!
Star Wars gets away with it because its a fantasy realm, its not in any way shape or form connected to our Earth or galaxy. Its medieval knights in space or something..

Schott to close 'flagship' solar plant
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Schott Solar announced Thursday it would be closing what the company once billed as its North American flagship manufacturing plant, leaving more than 200 employees without jobs.
Schott spokesman Matthew Kraft confirmed the company's decision but declined to immediately provide details about the reasons the plant would close later this summer. He said managers spent the day informing their various shifts about the decision.
Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry alluded to the problem in a statement released Thursday evening.

Recent London reviews
"Our family of four (with two small children) rented this apartment along with another couple. We stayed for three nights and were very pleased with the cleanliness, comfort, and aminities we were welcomed with. The beds were cozy, the kitchen was great to cook in, the entire place was extremely clean. The apt is very kid friendly, even a short distance to a really neat park which the kids adored. Good food and coffee just down the street and easy access to the tube. Anita was incredibly kind and quick to respond via email which made me feel more comfortable, as this was our first VRBO experience. We would highly recommend Elisa Court for anyone looking for a peaceful, clean, and convenient way to experience London in a more natural fashion as opposed to the typical tourist experience. Anita, thank you for your fantastic customer service and for the great job you do in making your rentals so accommodating and comfortable."Guest: BB Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: December 6, 2014View listing

Egypt Islamists' Mandate Lacks Unity
Division Between Muslim Brotherhood, Salafis Shows Risk That Parliamentary Splits Could Embolden Military Rulers
CAIRO—Official results for the initial round of parliamentary elections show that Egypt's first postrevolutionary legislature faces ideological splits that could weaken its bid to claim political authority from an interim military leadership that has shown a reluctance to yield power.
The High Electoral Commission said Sunday that an upstart group of ultraconservative Salafi Islamists beat analysts' expectations, taking 24.4% of the first of three voting rounds.
Broadly confirming poll-watchers' forecasts, the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, or FJP, won a plurality of 36.6% against the secular-leaning Egyptian Bloc, which gained only 13.4%.

Track events day by day in the region.

The best images of 2011's Arab Spring.
Emerging divisions within the new legislature place the onus on the Brotherhood's FJP to determine whether the parliament will be strong or weak, analysts say.
At stake is the precedent for Egypt's newly emerging system of governance. As Islamists prepare to dominate the next parliament with an estimated 60% of the vote, it is up to them to demonstrate their commitment to an inclusive legislature, or risk emboldening a military that has dominated the country for more than half a century.
"Democracy is on the Islamists' side," said Mazen Hassan, a political analyst at Cairo University. "They are now dominating the plurality of an elected body. They have a direct mandate."
If the Brotherhood, which casts itself as a moderate Muslim party, fails to cooperate with the various ideologies populating the new parliament, the military will face few barriers to prevent it from expanding its writ over the coming constitutional drafting process and securing a protected space for itself in Egypt's political future, analysts say.
But if the Brotherhood's FJP effectively absorbs the competing demands of the Salafis on one side and liberal parties on the other, the incoming parliament could emerge as a strong counterweight to the military's political dominance.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which assumed control from former President Hosni Mubarak when he stepped down in February, "is not going to give us our rights easily. So I think it's going to be a long battle," said Hala Mustafa, a member of the Social Democrat Party, a leading liberal party on the Egyptian Bloc.
"Parliament has to have some power. Even if it's an Islamist majority or a liberal majority, we have to confront the SCAF because this is the right thing to do," Ms. Mustafa said.
So far, the reluctance of Islamist parties to bond together in a coalition—and liberal parties' stated intention to keep the Brotherhood's more moderate party at arm's length—could open the new legislature to manipulation by the ruling council of generals.
The SCAF has already shown a propensity—whether intentionally or not— for playing Islamists and secular-minded politicians against each other.
In the nearly 10 months since protesters forced out the former regime, the powerful Brotherhood's cooperative stance toward the military has enraged liberal protesters who have demanded an end to military rule.
Islamists and liberals both confronted the SCAF in early November, when the interim government asked a broad cross-section of Egypt's emerging political class to agree to give the military control over the drafting of a new constitution. The proposal would also have protected the military's budget and political standing from civilian authority.
While a consensus of politicians rejected the proposals, the military still has the upper hand in a Mubarak-era political system that will remain until the parliament convenes an assembly to draft a new constitution, which could take as long as a year.
To confront the SCAF's abiding authority, observers expect lawmakers to unite around certain ad hoc political priorities rather than forming lasting alliances.
Though the constituent parties in the secular-minded Egyptian Bloc see the Brotherhood's Islamist political position as anathema, they will need to form an uncomfortable union with the Brothers in the near term if they hope to see a parliament with any authority, analysts say.
"The liberals are coming to terms with how pragmatic that is," said Bassem Sabry, a secular-minded blogger who was active in the street protests that overthrew the former regime.
The liberals could act as an opposition to the overwhelming force of the Islamists, said Mr. Hassan, but such a position could also risk their being perceived as siding with the unelected SCAF.
As political novices, the Salafis represent a wild card in parliament. To project a tolerant image, the FJP is expected to avoid any perception it is colluding with the Salafis, whose narrow political platform remains largely unknown beyond imposing an uncompromising form of Islamic law.
But the constitutional drafting process will offer an opportunity for the Brotherhood and Salafis to work together.
The desire by both the Salafis and Brotherhood to project their will over the new constitution will make cooperating hard to resist, Mr. Hassan said.
"On the core issues of the constitution, I cannot see them taking very different positions," he said. "They will prevent any attempt to take out religious references from the constitution."

Wouldn't it be cool if the banks saw this opportunity, snapped up all the voting shares they could including the pref A's that would need to be converted to avoid forced payout. They then opened their credit, fired Tellier with cause ( no pension that he would have started colecting in 2013), placed a real sharp manager in charge, lent funds (if needed to payout debts as they come due), continued digital transformation. In 4 years all existing shareholders and banks are smiling. Downside for this senario Tellier who lost his million dollar per year pension (but he was over paid while in charge) and MTN who are presently stealing our company (they would still get face and interest on their investment).

Tennessee's lawmakers have been on a roll with vital pieces of legislation, necessary to the well-being of their residents. There's the bill to protect teachers who tell students that scientific ideas like evolution and climate change aren't necessarily true.

H&M by Comme des Garçons
A healthy dose of fizzy cedar is the first note you'll detect when applying H&M.LOTS of cedar! Not as brutal as the axed wood plank (or pencil shavings) of Gucci Pour Homme, but softened and diffusive (as if electrically charged by those crazy odd numbered aldehydes Turin speaks about - that smell like a snuffed out candle, mixed with cedar). Its quite an unmistakable accord and without sounding too vague, it smells very Comme des Garcons-ish. Whatever that means! No living tree actually smells like this - in the ground or chopped up. Its a synthetic replication of wood. Virtual wood, if you will.

Kris Jenner Attends Taj Jackson's Wedding After Kim Kardashian Gives Birth
To say that Kris Jenner had a big weekend would be an understatement. On Sunday, June 16, just one day after daughter Kim Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch hit up not one but two major events: the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Beverly Hills and Taj and Tayana Jackson's star-studded wedding at the Jackson family's Hayvenhurst home in Encino, Calif. (Taj is the oldest of Tito Jackson's three sons with late ex-wife Delores Martes.)
PHOTOS: Kardashian family album
After presenting an award at the Daytime Emmys -- where she gushed to Showbiz Tonight that her new granddaughter is "doing great and beautiful" -- Jenner joined the party at Hayvenhurst. Rocking the same off-the-shoulder black dress she wore on the red carpet, the 57-year-old reality star made a beeline for Katherine Jackson, the mother of late pop icon Michael Jackson. A source tells Us Weekly the two sat together and chatted about Kim's new little bundle of joy, who arrived five weeks early on June 15.
"Kris was gushing over the baby," the insider says. "She said everyone is happy and healthy and the baby is so cute."
Jenner missed the actual wedding ceremony, but a source says it was "really beautiful" and included a moment of silence to honor those -- like Michael Jackson and Taj's mom -- who are no longer with them.
PHOTOS: Michael Jackson and his kids
Several other Jacksons were in attendance, however, including Michael's sons Prince Michael and Blanket, sisters La Toya and Janet, and brothers Tito and Jermaine. (Noticeably absent was Michael's daughter Paris, who is still recovering from an alleged suicide attempt.)
"It was basically a Jackson reunion since there are so many of them," the insider tells Us, noting that Jermaine Jackson performed three songs at the nuptials. "It was all about the family."

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Quang Tinh
by baklavabaklava
Review: The food is good here and my first few visits were fine. After that, they began bringing food I didn't order, which they would encourage me to eat, and charge me either way, even though I never ordered these items. Seems to be a common behaviour among Hue-area restaurant-owners. Watch out, and refuse any unordered food: they are NOT bringing you free appetizers or side dishes, they are bilking you of your money.

According to Merck, it is being buried under a mountain of Vioxx related lawsuits as more and more Vioxx victims come forward to sue the company for causing as many as 60,000 deaths. The FDA estimates that 140,000 personal injuries have been caused by Vioxx. Legal experts put the total number of expected lawsuits at over 100,000 and so far 4,100 lawsuits have been filed.
The first ever trial in the case of Carol Ernst is underway in Texas and so far the evidence presented by Mark Lanier, the plaintiff's attorney, has built a solid case proving that Merck knew even before Vioxx was commercially launched that it was a dangerous drug. The company decided not only to market the drug aggressively but also abandoned any efforts to confirm the safety of the drug (fearing that facts may be detrimental to sales). Lanier also convinced the jury that Merck lied to doctors when it reported the cardiovascular risks of Vioxx.
In never-before disclosed evidence, Lanier also presented documents and videos that clearly show that Merck deliberately hid risks from patients, doctors, FDA, and maybe even its own staff. Using games like Dodge Ball, Merck trained its salespeople to avoid questions related to dangers of Vioxx. Merck's marketing department was deliberately developing a strategy that was designed to understate the risk and talk only about the benefits. This has surprised most drug industry watchers who used to think of Merck as a company "where patients come first."
