As part of its Scholarship in Action vision, Syracuse University will invest in an interdisciplinary cluster in the area of health and behavior. Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor and Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric F. Spina recognize that the field is a rich, intellectual discipline with the opportunity to engage with partner institutions, corporations and the local Syracuse community. As part of the University's investment in this area, SU's Center for Health and Behavior (CHB) has been designated a University-wide center.
Created in 1999 with support from The College of Arts and Sciences and housed in the Department of Psychology, the CHB fosters and supports research programs devoted to the relationship between human behavior and health outcomes. With investment from the department and the college, CHB has attracted a dynamic and talented group of faculty and staff members who have built a strong portfolio addressing many aspects of health and behavior. External support for the center has grown rapidly and now exceeds $5 million annually.
Under the coordination of Ben Ware, vice president for research and dean of the Graduate School, the CHB will expand its mission and scope by initiating more multidisciplinary research and training programs, creating further opportunities for student involvement, exploring additional funding sources, seeking to establish a community outreach office, and creating a seed-funding mechanism to encourage cross-college collaborations and stimulate new proposals. Center director Michael Carey will report to Ware while continuing to serve as Dean's Professor of the Sciences in the Department of Psychology. Ware will coordinate with Department of Psychology Chair Barbara Fiese to assure that CHB remains a vital asset to the department and that it is beneficial for current members of the center as well as new collaborators from other units.
"This designation illustrates how the collective efforts of outstanding faculty members can serve the larger community. I am eager to work with the Vice Chancellor's Office and Ben Ware to create a truly collaborative center that assuredly will benefit the health and well-being of not only the Syracuse community but potentially people around the world," says Fiese.
"With the identification of health and behavior as a key campus-wide initiative, other schools, colleges and interdisciplinary centers at Syracuse University, in addition to the Center for Health and Behavior, have the potential to engage and collaborate as we move forward," says Ware.
The Center for Health and Behavior facilitates and encourages research on the behavioral and psychosocial aspects of health, including topics such as the health effects of aging, alcohol use, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, HIV, smoking and stress. Scientists in the center often develop and evaluate programs to promote health in children, adolescents, college students, adults and families. Research — in laboratories, hospitals, schools and community-based agencies and in collaboration with colleagues in the United States and abroad — is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and public and private sponsors.

New President of European Beverages Association
Hubert Patricot (pictured), President, European Group, Coca-Cola Enterprises, has been elected president of UNESDA, the Union of European Beverages Associations, representing the soft drinks industry in Europe. He will serve as president until May 2016.
Commenting at the recent UNESDA board meeting in Warsaw in May 2014, Mr Patricot suggested that he would pursue two key agendas for the industry – to ensure the sector continues to play a strong role in encouraging balanced diets and lifestyles across Europe, and to help people understand the important role the sector plays in the European economy.
"Since 2006 our sector has led far-reaching self-regulatory commitments to act responsibly in the marketplace. We ensure that our products are not offered for sale in primary schools or advertised to children under 12 years of age. We also provide a full range of no and low-sugar drinks alongside regular versions, and these now comprise 30% of our sales in many countries," explained Hubert Patricot. "We must ensure that everybody knows about these initiatives. UNESDA will continue to get out and communicate the key facts on our sector and maintain an ongoing dialogue with regulators, peers, media and stakeholders in order to engage in an honest debate about health and wellness and the role of our sector in encouraging balanced diets and lifestyles."
"We will also highlight the significant contribution that our sector makes to the European economy. Our industry provides jobs and income throughout the supply chain from agriculture through to transport and the retail and hospitality sector. It is important that policy makers and regulators understand the €55.4 billion value-added impact that our sector delivers across the EU28 and is supportive of our commitment to continue to grow our industry and provide ongoing investment and employment across the continent," he concluded.

Coming in hot from a long layover at the Fort Lauderdale Delta Sky Club lounge, the ladies are so relieved to be out of Medellín they've decided to refocus on their bucket lists.
When you start living more intentionally, you find more time to handle the important things – like crossing items off of your bucket list. But before you can do that, you've got to figure out what's on that bucket list in the first place.
Kari and Kelly wrote out their bucket lists, and in this episode they talk about all (or many) of the things they really want to do before they die. From going on The Price is Right to jumping off of a yacht into an ocean, a wide variety of weirdness is covered and a lot of it is highly specific.
Can you help the Gringas with any of their bucket list items? If so, send us a message via Facebook!

He therefore who possesses the Holy Spirit is in the Church, which speaks in the tongues of all nations. Whosoever is without this Church, has not the Holy Spirit. For this reason the Holy Spirit deigned to reveal Himself in the tongues of all nations, that each may understand, that he possesses the Holy Spirit who is nourished within the unity of the Church, which speaks in every tongue. One body, says Paul the Apostle, one body and one Spirit (Eph. iv. 4).
And so, where the Apostle speaks of it as a body, let us not think of it as a dead body without life. One body, he says. But, I ask you, is this a living body? It is living. By what does it live? By one spirit. And one Spirit. Be watchful therefore, brethren, within our own body; and grieve for those who are cut off from the Church. As long as we live, while we are in our senses, let all members fulfil their duties among our own members. Should one member suffer anything, let all the members suffer with it (I Cor. xii. 26). Yet, though it may suffer, because it is in the body, it cannot die. For what does to die mean but to lose the spirit? Now if a member be cut off from the body, does the soul follow it? It can still be seen what member it is: it is a finger, a hand, an arm, an ear; besides substance, it has form; but it has no life. So is it with a man separated from the Church. Seek if he has the sacrament. You learn he has. Look for baptism. You find it. The creed? You find it. This is the outward form; but unless inwardly you live by the Spirit, in vain do you glory in the outward form.

Consciousness is your level of awareness. It is defined by your ability to perceive reality. When you raise your consciousness you come out of your obsessive thoughts and into the present moment. With practice, through your own spiritual work the veil is lifted and you are able to see life for what it truly is. This discovery will change your perception of your reality and allow you to recognize thought patterns that are not actually real or accurate.
It is only through personal experience that this shift in consciousness can be achieved. Reading about it is an excellent way to prepare and understand what is happening but personal experience cannot be replaced by books and information.
The videos you will find here will give you a bit of both, experience and knowledge about how to live consciously.

How to Start a Knife Sharpening Business: Earn $30-60 an Hour From Home
Every house in the country is a potential repeat customer…
Matt Rowell set himself the goal of generating an extra $5k over 5 years to fund some passion projects, and he's well on his way.
Matt runs AmericanEdgeSharpening.com on the side from his day job as captain of a research vessel. It's a knife sharpening business, which makes $250-500 a month when we spoke and is earning him $30-60 per hour.
2020 UPDATE: Matt sent me a note that he made $1700 sharpening last month — and actually had to turn some customers away!
He saw an ad while posted abroad with the Navy that gave him the idea for his business.
And then he took action. Matt:
Picked up a knife sharpening kit
Taught himself how to sharpen knives by watching YouTube videos (shortcut your learning curve with his soup-to-nuts course + membership)
Offered to sharpen knives for family and friends for the practice
Found paying customers
The best thing about the knife sharpening business?
"If you drive down the road, every house that you pass has a bunch of knives in it," Matt said. That means an almost limitless number of potential customers.
Tune in to hear how Matt got started with this idea while he was deployed in Djibouti, Africa, including his equipment, how he learned how to do it, and how he's marketed and priced his service.
NOTE: My first interview with Matt aired in November 2018. For the 2020 update, please see "Where Are They Now?" below.

Matt was recalled to active duty for the Navy and was deployed to Djibouti for a year. He was working a desk job, and being the hands-on type of person, he wanted something more to do with his hands while he was out there.
He saw an ad in a local listing, similar to a Craigslist, for a knife sharpening service. He reached out to the ad poster to get some more information, but he had already been sent home.
So, Matt found out as much as he could about knife sharpening, purchased the gear he needed, and started watching YouTube instructional videos. Then he started offering to sharpen knives for free to get some practice.
He got some paid work from referrals while in Djibouti, but it was once he got back home that he decided to turn his new skill into a true side hustle.
Matt started out with an Edge Pro Apex sharpening system and says he's found it to be a really versatile and reliable sharpening kit.
It will set you back around $255 for the basic kit, and Matt has added some other attachments to enable him to sharpen a wider range of blades.
Matt said, "If you drive down the road, every house that you pass has a bunch of knives in it." There is no shortage of potential customers!
He started out asking friends and family members if they needed any knives sharpened or knew of anybody who did.
He then put up a Facebook page, which started bringing in a few new customers too.
Matt said his business started steadily growing without spending any money on marketing or advertising this way.
He later built a drop box on his driveway and put a sign on the side of the road which he says is now his number one marketing tool. (He lives in a small town in New Hampshire.)
Matt also set up a booth at the local farmer's market for a cost of $25 a season.
The first year, Matt approached the market as a way to make money. The second year, he approached the market as a way to get to really know the community and other vendors, and said he got a lot more out of the experience, not just more customers.
"Building the community has become the biggest unexpected blessing in starting this side hustle for me," Matt said.
Matt did a Google search for "Sharpening around me" to see how much competitors were charging and to get a ballpark figure for how much he should charge.
The first thing he did was simplify the pricing compared to what he was seeing.
A lot of competitors broke down pricing per types of knives, so Matt settled on a flat $1 per inch of blade with a minimum of $5 per knife.
This structure worked out to earn him between $30-60, with an average customer spending $20 per order.
Matt doesn't just sharpen knives for private individuals, he also has a business client base.
Business to business relationships are more likely to be recurring and have a higher value too. "I treat every client as recurring," Matt said.
He keeps in touch with them, and sends out newsletters with knife tips and special offers.
Here is a list of some of the businesses Matt has worked with:
Lawnmower Repair Shops
Print Shops
Canvas Shops
Sewing Shops
Wood Shops
Sheep Shearers
Cheese Shops
Matt has a recurring contract with a sheep shearer and trades haircuts with a salon for keeping their shears sharp.
When Matt started out, people would knock on his door to drop off their knives, but this was causing a lot of disruptions.
So, he designed a drop box at the end of his driveway. There are two boxes, one to leave knives in to be sharpened, and one for the finished knives to be left for collection along with payment.
The boxes have cipher locks, so the customer can open it them securely lock their knives in, and Matt can give them the code to open the box and take their finished knives.

Since I last spoke with Matt in late 2018, he's more than tripped his knife sharpening side hustle – he's now bringing in a consistent $1500 a month!
"If I could attribute the jump to one thing, it would be my dedication to Q1 of 2019 to really focus on marketing," Matt told me.
Matt decided to break up the first quarter of the year and focus on different marketing channels each month.
He spent a month on each of the following areas:
Google My Business and CPC
Of these three, Matt said he saw the most success with Google My Business and started putting more time and effort in that area.
He dedicated 20% of his revenue to Google Ads, which was around $100 at the time, and really dove in to make the most of leveraging Google traffic for marketing.
Matt said, for anyone looking to also use Google My Business to market their business, he has two takeaways:
Put the energy into Google My Business in the first place
Take the time to really study the platform – Matt even jumped on the phone with Google to make sure he really understood how to leverage it
Matt quickly realized that people using social media platforms like Facebook were not looking for local services like knife sharpening.
People are much more likely to use Google for keywords like "Knife sharpening near me", which is wanted he wanted to appear for. So, he knew he had to focus his efforts there.
Matt started targeting relevant keywords, like "Knife sharpening near me", and quickly saw a rise in new customers.
He also attributes his growth to seeking out reviews from customers, and replying to each one. Matt said this helped build his social credibility, which also helped to drive more customers to his page.
What Matt's doing is clearly working – at the time of writing this he had 104 reviews, and 103 of those were 5-stars!
"The systems I have in place are well suited to the current scenario," Matt told me.
Matt explained in our first call how he had set up drop-off boxes at the end of his driveway. This allows customers to drop off and pick up their knives without any direct contact with him, which worked out perfectly during the pandemic.
He did shut up shop briefly when the pandemic first hit. This was due to the uncertainty around the situation. During which time Matt kept a list of anyone who reached out to him, and messaged them when he reopened.
When Matt did open back up for business, he noticed an uptick in volume and an increase in tips. Matt also expanded his business to sharpen gardening tools, which helped as more people were using gardening tools during the lockdown.
Matt received a business grant a while back to invest in the equipment to sharpen hair shears and clippers blades.
This has helped him break into the pet grooming market. So much so, in fact, that he's currently having more business coming his way than he is able to take on.
Matt's knife sharpening business is still a side hustle so he's limited for time. He currently spends around an hour a day sharpening blades.
"For the foreseeable future, I still don't desire to take this to a full-time thing," Matt told me.
He is exploring the idea of hiring help so he can take on more work. Matt said he's also had a number of people reach out to him to help them start his own knife sharpening business.
This prompted Matt to set up an online community for people looking to start their own knife sharpening business. He did this using software called Mighty Networks.
You can find his guild at GuildofSharpeners.org, and this is Matt's passion project going forward. He's building a community, has a paid course available, and enjoys communicating with his members and helping people out starting their own businesses.
Matt also goes live on YouTube every Thursday for "The Thursday Night Grind" where he sharpens whatever he has on his bench live for an audience. You can check out his YouTube Channel here if you're interested in dropping in.
"Don't quit in the dip, keep going," Matt told me.

Sounds like a good little side business! What sharpening system did you start with?
Jade harris
Thanks for the article and your service to our great USA.
I'm trying to find the download for your mounting board for the Edge Pro, but I can't seem to get to it.
From your NewHampshireMan website I found where you say to go to your old website, but when I click the link … I go back to the NewHampshireMan website. Can you help me find the download for the Edge Pro Mount?
Dave Shepherd @ moneybadass.co
Love how he expanded with a little marketing. The Facebook + Google ads really help local businesses get in front of customers at fairly good cost. With a solid Ad -> Lead Magnet -> Email Sales Campaign he could easily take this full time if he decided to move to that route.
serge poupart
Hello! my name is serge. I am 67 y.o., handicapped from the spine. I need to supplement my pension by at least $ 500 a month.
Looking for a part-time business with the lowest start-up cost. Interested in knife sharpening, bought 4 quality wet stones. I read that it takes more than 60 minutes per knife, is that true, this model does not seem viable to me. I am confused: it seems to me that I would need to invest in a sharpening electric tool to save time, but I was told that you CAN start this business with wet stones only . Also, I want to join the guild but I don't know (at this point) how to proceed. I need your help to create a plan for me to follow. My pension plan is all that I possess, so, I need to know what's the minimum startup cost. Thank you for your help!
Hello Serge,
I did not see anyone reply to you yet, and perhaps you already have experienced how long it takes for various knives.
I am a knife sharpener and am partially paralyzed, which comes and goes.
1. It should not take one hour for a common kitchen knife, camp or pocket knife.
2. It depends greatly on the metal, the length, blade shape and current condition.
Given that info, and if you're pretty fairly skilled, you should be able to turn a knife (from receiving the knife to giving it back) in about 20 minutes if there is no profiling needed… just basic 4 stones and 2-sided stropping, then clean-up, pkg, run the till.
This is a general non-agressive pace for one-off knives. However, if you receive a whole set of the same steel, all from the same customer, or have very similar sizes and shapes, you can do a production line… that's how I do it.
The production lines minimizes setup and teardown, clean-up of ever step… just sharpen away whole batches at a time for each step.
If you're skilled and all goes well, this really cuts the time down considerably!
Hope your doing well and life is good to you!

I'm not sure if this is on-topic (feel free to delete this comment if it's off-topic), but I'm looking into scissor-sharpening options. Are there specific sharpening systems for scissors, or would a normal knife-sharpening one do the job? I suppose knife-sharpening systems are not all the same, though. Any inputs/insights would be welcome!

K1 Speed go-kart racing coming to Jackson Township
Kelly Byer
JACKSON TWP. An electric go-kart attraction could open in Jackson Township as early as next summer.
James Burley, owner of K1 Speed Canton, said he hopes to have bank funding approved by Dec. 31 for the site north of Shuffel Street NW and west of Port Jackson Avenue NW.
"We've got architectural drawings being made right now, so we hope to have it open by August next year," Burley said.
The Stark County Regional Planning Commission this week gave the franchise conditional approval for a 45,000-square-foot building and parking lot. Planning documents show site plans are by Hettler Engineering LLC and the property is leased from the Akron Canton Regional Airport Authority.
Burley, a graduate of Jackson High School and the University of Akron, said locating near the Center Ice Sports Complex provides a complementary entertainment venue.
"Racing's a passion of mine, and this is a good business opportunity for me, so I wanted it to be local," he said.
K1 Speed has more than 40 locations worldwide but none in Ohio, according to the company's website. In addition to go-karts, the centers have arcade and table games, as well as food and beverages.
Burley said K1 Speed centers cater to competitive racers, casual users and corporate events. The vehicles are "high-performance" and have a maximum speed of 45 mph.
"So, they're not the go-karts that you'd go to like Slugger & Putters to drive," he said.
Each indoor track is designed for its own space and typically is less than a quarter-mile — providing a 20- to 30-second lap time. Burley said 12 drivers can be on the track at a time.
There also will be an outdoor portion.
"So you'll be able to drive indoors, go out a door and go right outside, back in," Burley said.

Container traffic between Poland and the Slovenian port of Koper has reached a new milestone. In 2018, Baltic Rail delivered 13,464 TEUs of goods, demonstrating a volume increase of 30 per cent compared to 2017. This year, the freight forwarder intends to maintain the growth of the container traffic at the same level.
Baltic Rail operates freight services between Wroclaw, Katowice and Koper. "341 trains were dispatched in 2018. We have seen a 30 per cent growth during 2018", the CEO of Baltic Rail Stephen Archer said to RailFreight. According to him, all types of cargo showed volume increase on the Wroclaw – Katowice/Ostrava – Koper route. The main share was secured by the electronic and automotive industries.
"We continue to serve high-value cargo shippers wishing to access the centre of Europe as fast as possible. Electronic and automotive sectors dominate our import traffic but there many other products. Food and drinks, healthcare, industrial materials and forest products are all sectors which are increasingly seeing the benefits of faster delivery using Adriatic ports", Stephen Archer commented.
In terms of export, the 2017 trends maintained in 2018. "The growth in export traffic from Polish factories moving towards the Middle and the Far East has been the most pleasing development during 2018", Stephen Archer specified. However, import showed some new trends, including more activity of Japanese companies. "Korean producers have long used Koper as an entry point for Central Europe. 2018 saw great interest from the Japanese industry with similar objectives", the CEO of Baltic Rail commented.
Baltic Rail forecasts that the volumes will continue to increase this year and container traffic will reach a figure of 17,200 TEUs. "We have planned for further growth of 30 per cent during 2019", Stephen Archer declared. To catch up with the increase of container traffic, Baltic Rail has already invested in the acquisition of new wagon sets. "Achieving this growth will require a lot of hard work and investment", the company's CEO summed up.

"STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS" (2013) Review
Posted on February 7, 2014 by drush76
Following the success of the 2009 movie, "STAR TREK", producer/director J.J. Abrams continued the saga of this alternate STAR TREK with a sequel called "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS". This latest film not only continued the adventures of Starfleet Captain James T. Kirk and his crew, but also re-introduced a well-known villain from the franchise's past.
Written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof, "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS" begins a year following the events of the 2009 movie. The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise has been ordered to observe the volcanic activities of Nibiru, a class "M" planet that serves as home for its primitive inhabitants. Unfortunately, Kirk and his crew violate the Federation's Prime Directive by using a cold fusion device to deactivate the volcano. Worse, in order to fetch Spoke from the volcano's depth, the Enterprise rises out of the planet's ocean and is seen by the Nibirians. Upon the starship's return to Earth, both Kirk and his first officer, Spock, are chewed out by Admiral Christopher Pike for violating the Prime Directive on Nibiru. Spock is reassigned to another starship and Kirk has lost command of the Enterprise and ordered to finish Starfleet Academy.
Meanwhile, a mysterious man offers a vial of blood to a Starfleet officer named Thomas Harewood in order to save the life of the latter's dying daughter. In exchange, Harewood used the mysterious ring to blow up the Kelvin Memorial Archives (a secret Section 31 facility) on the mysterious man's behalf. This new emergency leads Starfleet to assign Admiral Pike as commander of the Enterprise. Pike manages to convince Marcus to assign Kirk as his new First Officer. The bombing of the Kelvin Archives leads to a meeting of starship commanders ordered to hunt down the mysterious perpetrator, revealed as rogue Starfleet agent John Harrison. However, an attack upon the meeting by a jumpship piloted by Harrison leaves several Starfleet officers dead – including Pike. Admiral Marcus reinstates Kirk as commander of the Enterprise and orders the latter to hunt down Harrison to the Klingon homeworld, Kronos, and destroy the rogue agent's base with 72 prototype photon torpedoes placed aboard the Enterprise. However, the manhunt for Harrison ends up providing a good deal of surprises for Kirk and his crew – including the revelation of Harrison's true identity.
When I first saw "STAR TREK" four years ago, my initial response to J.J. Abrams' reboot of the franchise had been . . . somewhat positive, yet slightly uneasy. A second viewing of the movie made me realize that it was a piece of crap, thanks to a script riddled with plot holes. I still maintained hope that this new sequel would prove to be a improvement. And it did . . . to a certain extent. The plot for "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS" did not strike me as particularly original. Rogue Starfleet officers have been used in the franchise before – especially in "STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE" and the 1991 film, "STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY". The John Harrison character proved to be none other than Khan Noonien Singh, originally portrayed by Ricardo Montalban in an episode of "STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES"and the 1982 movie, "STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN". In fact, the screenwriters not only used the Khan character, but also Dr. Carol Marcus and put a different spin on a famous scene from the 1982 movie. Khan/Harrison's attack on Admiral Marcus' meeting bore a strong resemblance to a scene from a "STAR TREK VOYAGER" episode called(2.14) "Alliances".
Despite the lack of originality that seemed to permeate the film, I must admit that I enjoyed a good deal of it. I found the conspiracy that surrounded Khan's connections to Admiral Marcus rather interesting. This was especially the case in the jumpship attack scene, the phaser fight on Kronos, Carol Marcus' rescue of Doctor McCoy from one of the photon torpedoes and finally Kirk and Khan's transportation to Admiral Marcus' ship U.S.S. Vengeance via a "space jump". These scene proved to be very exciting, thanks to Abrams' excellent direction. The chemistry between Zachary Quinto and Zoë Saldaña as lovers Spock and Nyota Uhura seemed to have vastly improved from the 2009 film. Perhaps the emotions between the two characters seemed more two-way and genuine the second time around. The chemistry between Quinto and Chris Pine's James Kirk seemed stronger than ever. Bruce Greenwood gave an intense and superb performance as Admirable Christopher Pike, even if I found the character's faith in Kirk rather questionable. On the other hand, I found Peter Weller's portrayal as the warmongering Admiral Marcus a bit hammy. And Simon Pegg's Scots accent became slightly more bearable in this film. But I do feel that Karl Urban, John Cho and Anton Yelchin had less to do in this film, than they did in "STAR TREK". Benedict Cumberbatch struck me as effectively ambiguous and sinister at the same time. However, if J.J. Abrams needed someone to portray the Indian-born Khan, why did he not consider another actor he had worked with in the past? Namely "LOST" alumni Naveen Andrews. He would have been perfect.
Do I consider "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS" a vast improvement over "STAR TREK"? There are a good number of fans who view the first film as superior. I simply do not share this opinion. However, I would not exactly label "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS" as one of the better movies for the summer of 2013. In fact, I view it slightly better than the first film . . . and nothing more.
However, this movie did have its share of problems. And one of them proved to be the film's opening sequence on Nibiru, which found Kirk and Dr. McCoy being chased through some kind of forest by some of the planet's inhabitants. Apparently, Kirk had stolen some sacred scroll to led the Nibirians away from the volcano. This tactic proved to be unnecessary, considering there were only two means to save the Nibirians – Spock's cold fusion device into the volcano's core, or the physical removal of the planet's inhabitants. In other words, this chase scene proved to be completely irrelevant. Another aspect of this sequence that proved to be irrelevant was Spock's protests against Kirk raising the Enterprise from the planet's ocean floor and exposing it to the Nibirians. One, what was the Enterprise doing below the ocean? Why not simply allow it to orbit the planet? And the Enterprise does not have the ability to land on the ocean floor, let alone on solid ground. It was never the 23rd century version of the U.S.S. Voyager. And why was Spock complaining about Kirk violating the Prime Directive in regard to the Enterprise's exposure, when he was violating it by saving the planet with the cold fusion device? I suspect his decision to save Nibiru may have been related to the loss of Vulcan in the first movie. But why did he even bother to protest against Kirk's actions, when he was just as guilty? And by the way, what happened to Earth's defense system? This movie is set in the mid 23rd century. There is a defense system for early 21st century Washington D.C. Why was there not one for mid 23rd century San Francisco, the main location for the Federation and Starfleet? Khan's ship could have been easily destroyed before it had a chance to enter Earth's atmosphere. I would go on about the photon torpedoes that harbored members of Khan's crew. But I found this scenario too confusing to discuss.
There were other problems. Why did Khan risk his hide to fire at the room of Starfleet captains and Admiral Marcus, when he could have easily achieved his goal with a bomb? What happened to the situation on Kronos? Marcus had sent the Enterprise to Kronos in order to hunt down Khan and start a war against the Klingons. Kirk, Spock, Uhura and Khan's encounter with the Klingons proved to be violent and especially deadly for the latter. But no war manifested after the incident on Kronos. In fact, the screenwriters and Abrams completely forgot about the Klingons once Admiral Marcus appeared aboard the Vengeance. Many critics complained about Alice Eve (who portrayed Carol Marcus) being shown in her underwear, accusing Abrams of exploiting the actress. Where were these same critics, four years ago, when both Zoë Saldaña (as Uhura) and an actress who portrayed Uhura's roommate stripped down to undies in "STAR TREK"? I found both Khan and Admiral Marcus' plans somewhat convoluted. But I was willing to . . . tolerate them. What I could not tolerate was the movie's last twenty to thirty minutes. Apparently, the screenwriters and Abrams decided it would be cool to pay some kind of "homage" to the famous Spock death scene in "STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN". I wish to God they had not. I really do. I found it embarrassing to watch Kirk and Spock switch roles with the former sacrificing his life to prevent the Enterprise from crashing upon Earth. Listening to some of the titters from other members of the audience did not help. And when Zachary Quinto channeled William Shatner's cry of "Khaaaannn!", my inner mind screamed "Whhhhyyyy?" I have never been so embarrassed for any actor as I was for Quinto at that moment. To make matters worse – if that was possible – McCoy brought Kirk back to life by using Khan's superpower blood. And all I can say is . . . "Whhhhyyyy?"
We come to the main problem of "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS". James T. Kirk. I had no problem with Chris Pine's performance. But I am still wondering why his Kirk is in command of a top-of-the-grade starship. Why? He never finished Starfleet Academy. He never even finished his third year. Yet, Christopher Pike not only saw fit to give him command of the Enterprise at the end of "STAR TREK", but also prevent Kirk from being sent back to the Academy to finish it. Even after watching "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS", it was plain to see that Kirk was not ready to be a starship commander. Yes, he sacrificed his life to save the Enterprise. Hell, anyone – crewman or officer – could have done this. It was Spock who discovered a way to damage the Vengeance . . . . and prevent it from destroying the Enterprise. He should be the one in command of the Enterprise, not Kirk. I wish I could say that Pike paid his decision to make Kirk a starship commander with his life. Unfortunately, Kirk's command skills had nothing to do with his death. Only bad writing.
What else can I say about "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS"? I found it somewhat more bearable than 2009's "STAR TREK". I found the movie's photography and special effects rather impressive – except for the lens flares, which I despise. And the movie did feature some solid direction by J.J. Abrams and very solid performances from a cast led by Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. But in the end, I was not that impressed by the movie. If I must be honest, the screenplay by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof nearly sunk it in the end. Better luck next time, fellas.
