The captain grinned slyly at his medical officer. "You are fond of our Vulcan iceberg, aren’t you, Bones?" McCoy stared at Kirk, harrumphed crustily, and got to his feet. "I’d better get down to surgery and set up for the removal of Ensign George’s implant," he said, unwilling to continue a conversation which might force him to reveal his true feelings for the half-alien first officer.
(Spock, Messiah! - Charles A. Spano Jr. and Theodore R. Cogswell)

"Of all the Star Trek characters Spock is probably the one who has had his head messed with the most. He gets infected by spores, has his body taken over by evil aliens, has his brain stolen, duplicated by aliens, had his existence erased, split in two, and had to go do his childhood rite of passage as an adult. Why can’t we just let Spock be Spock?"

Happy b-b-b-b-b-b-b (go Bayside!) birthday Mark-Paul Gosselaar! The actor perhaps immortalized as scheming high school student Zack Morris turned 45 Friday. Though maybe take a "time out" before reminding him of that. When this reporter said in light of the milestone USA TODAY wanted to talk about all his years in the biz, he deadpanned, "You're making me feel great about my age.”
Gosselaar says his time in front of the camera began when he was just 4 years old. A friend of his mother's, who was a model, encouraged her to have photos taken of him and get an agent. Gosselaar says local print work led to commercials, which led to appearances in the '80s on series like "The Twilight Zone," "Punky Brewster" and "Charles in Charge." Gosselaar then booked the role of Zack Morris on the series "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" with Hayley Mills, which lasted just one season before it was re-imagined as "Saved by the Bell."
Still, it wasn't until "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" (1993-1994) provided "prime time money" that Gosselaar really thought of acting as his job.
"I saw how much money I was getting paid to do something that I really loved and made the decision that... I could categorize (my occupation) as being an actor."
Gosselaar didn't even take "Saved by the Bell" seriously, predicting each season the show would be cancelled. It premiered in 1989 and lasted for four seasons, plus a single season for the college spinoff.
"Every season it was like, ‘OK, we had our run and we’ll see each other at some point,' " he said. "And then we were always surprised to come back."
Gosselaar says he doesn't think the show "had that big of a coolness factor" while filming.
The "cool show" Gosselaar says was another about California teens: (the soon-to-be rebooted) "Beverly Hills, 90210."
"That was high school," he said. "They were really doing some edgy things for young adults."
Edgy wouldn't necessarily be the way to describe the caffeine pill addiction Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) had, which makes Gosselaar laugh when it's brought up.
"If I were to be in that position now, I would seriously look at the producers and writers and go, 'Really, caffeine pills? That’s what were hooked on?'" he admitted. "But at the time, we were just having fun with each other; we were having fun being actors."
Perhaps a little too much fun behind the scenes. Gosselaar made headlines in January when he revealed he and Berkley – dated. To USA TODAY, Gosselaar described the behind-the-scenes romances as very intertwined.
"It was very incestuous," There was so much fraternizing Gosselaar says they were spoken to by the series' executive producer.
"Peter Engel at one point had to sit us all down and say, 'Hey we have a show to do, you guys need to calm down,' because at some point one person wasn’t talking to the other one. One person was friends with the other person who wasn’t talking so they weren’t talking to you. It was high school in a very sort of small, micro bubble."
"We were in very close quarters for nine months out of the year," he explained, "and there’s a little bleed-over from your characters – I mean you see it on films all the time, you see it on TV shows all the time with adults. Inevitably kids are gonna do something."
After Zack Morris, Gosselaar continued to work steadily. From 2001-2005 he portrayed his favorite character, Detective John Clark, Jr. on "NYPD Blue" and also found success with the series "Franklin & Bash" (2011-2014). While he wishes he could've played Mike Lawson longer on Fox's "Pitch" (2016), he now stars on "The Passage" from the same network. The sci-fi drama, which USA TODAY gave ★★★ out of four, is based on Justin Cronin's trilogy: "The Passage," "The Twelve" and "The City of Mirrors."

Gosselaar said he enjoys playing the role of government agent Brad Wolgast, who meets Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) and refuses to give her up to the government for testing to ward off a global pandemic.
"It’s a challenging role for me. It’s physical," Gosselaar said. "It’s got pretty much all the elements that I’m always looking for and a role that will sustain your interest for hopefully the run of a few years."
Gosselaar described the first part of the two-hour finale airing March 11 as "unbelievably ambitious."
"What we are able to accomplish in the eight days that we had to film that episode arguably could’ve taken a month on a film," he said. He adds the second half of the finale is "a bit of a departure from what we’ve shown you through the rest of the season."
From "Preppy" to "The Passage." Gosselaar's current show airs Monday (9 EST/PST).

TONY NEWTON ‘MYSTICISM & ROMANCE’ (1978) LP
Tony Newton (born 1948) is a multi-instrumentalist from Detroit, MI who began his professional career at the age of thirteen, playing bass guitar with blues legends like John Lee Hooker and T-Bone Walker. Discovered by Motown executive Hank Cosby while playing the Detroit blues circuit at the age of 18, he became the touring bassist with Smokey Robinson and the Miracles on the famed 1965 European ‘Motown Review’ tour. Within two years, Newton became the Miracles’ musical director.
Tony Newton also toured and recorded with other Motown artists such as The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5 … and countless others. Earning the nickname “the Baby Funk Brother” he left his trademark of solid, hard driving and deftly clever grooves on such timeless hits as “Where Did Our Love Go,” “Baby Love,” “Stop In The Name Of Love,” “Nowhere to Run,” “ABC,” “Never Can Say Goodbye,” “Don’t Leave Me This Way,” and many others. Next to his impressive body of work for Motown, Newton can be heard on several hit singles from labels like Invictus-Hotwax and Stax. Later, Newton gained recognition as a member of both the acclaimed jazz-rock fusion group: The New Tony Williams Lifetime (headed by Miles Davis’ drummer Tony Williams) and the the British hard rock group: G-Force (with veteran guitarist Gary Moore).
Tony Newton’s first solo album ‘Mysticism & Romance’ (1978) has both elements of his impressive musical past and his vision for the future. The P-Funk-esque bass grooves and fusion jazz-rock vibes, combined with spacious synths, unusual instruments and an all-round cosmic approach make this a unique and VERY intriguing album. What’s equally impressive on this album are the guest musicians featured on it. On piano/synth we have Sylvester Rivers (Aretha Franklin) and Alan Pasqua (Quincy Jones), on the guitars we have Charles Ferring (Barry White) and Ray Parker Jr. (Ghostbusters !!!), and last but not least we have Danny Spanos (Sly and the Family Stone) on drums.
Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first ever vinyl reissue of ‘Mysticism & Romance’ since its release in 1978. This official reissue is now available as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition (limited to 500 copies) with insert containing exclusive & extensive liner notes.

“After the way I fouled up down there, that’s at least one thing I don’t have to feel guilty about.” “Do you know what your problem is?” McCoy said softly. “Yes… I was too cocky,” Kirk replied. “I took my men into a possible combat situation without adequately planning for contingencies. It’s just a fluke that several of them weren’t killed.” “Wrong answer,” McCoy said. Kirk eyed him speculatively. “Then what’s the right one?” “You’re the best captain I’ve ever served under, except for one thing—you’ve somehow got yourself convinced that if the dice don’t come out the way you want them to every time you roll them, you’re to blame. No matter how carefully you plan, Jim, sometimes things just don’t turn out the way they should. Unpredictables always creep in. And there isn’t a general in history who hasn’t lost a battle or two because of them.” (...) “You’re right as usual, Bones.”
(Spock, Messiah! - Charles A. Spano Jr. and Theodore R. Cogswell)
such a good Kirk/McCoy scene 🥺
and it's another novel where McCoy orders Kirk to do something and Kirk is all "aye aye, sir" which <3 really need to use that in my fics too
(if there were more tos!mckirk fics or even gen fics focused on mccoy and kirk, i might not be this impressed with comics and novels but because there aren't, novels and comics are the only place where i can get some food :D and a lot of it is literally catered to my personal taste too)

Bitcoin futures suggest breakneck rise in price to slow
New Post has been published on https://lawyer800marketing.com/business/bitcoin-futures-suggest-breakneck-rise-in-price-to-slow/
Bitcoin futures suggest breakneck rise in price to slow
Local vanity Numbers:
NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) – Newly launched bitcoin futures on Monday suggested that traders expect the cryptocurrency’s blistering price gains to slow in the coming months, even as it blasted above $17,000 to a fresh record high in the spot market.
Chicago-based derivatives exchange Cboe Global Markets launched the futures late on Sunday, marking the first time investors could get exposure to the bitcoin market via a large, regulated exchange.
The one-month bitcoin contract <0#XBT:> opened at 6 p.m. local time (2300 GMT) on Sunday at $15,460. By late afternoon on Monday in New York, it was trading at $18,650, roughly 8 percent above bitcoin’s spot price of $16,900 on the Bitstamp exchange.
Bitcoin earlier hit a record high of $17,270.
Its steep gains and rapid rise have attracted investors around the world as well as intense scrutiny from government regulators, which is the very opposite of what its creators wanted when it first launched bitcoin more than eight years ago.
“The bitcoin founder should be horrified seeing it rise so quickly, as any serious focus on it and its recent explosive move higher will soon end its freedom,” said John Taylor Jr, president and founder of research firm Taylor Global Vision in New York.
Taylor believes that based on his charts, bitcoin has not yet peaked, but as soon as the “upmove ends, it will crash.”
Given bitcoin has almost tripled in value over the past month, and was up more than 15 percent on Monday alone, the futures pricing suggested investors see price increases moderating.
Bitcoin futures were already offered on some unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges outside the United States, but backers said the U.S. market debut would confer greater legitimacy on the volatile cryptocurrency and encourage its wider use.
The CME Group is expected to launch its futures contract on Dec. 17.

VOLATILITY CONCERNS
Although there are hopes that the futures will draw in new investors, most fund managers at larger asset managers and institutional investors said bitcoin remains too volatile and lacks the fundamentals that give other assets value.
“There’s no place for bitcoin in a multi-asset portfolio given the very high volatility,” said Robeco Chief Investment Officer Lukas Daalder.
The two-month contract was trading at $18,750, an 11 percent premium over the spot price, while the three-month contract was changing hands at $18,140, a roughly 12 percent premium.
While modest when compared with bitcoin’s 270 percent increase over the past three months and 230 percent rise in the last two months, those levels still indicated a lack of large “short” positions betting against bitcoin.
“Anyone, especially a professional trading outfit, would be crazy to actually short sell this bull market,” said Nick Spanos, founder of Bitcoin Center NYC. “But just because it doesn’t happen on day one doesn’t mean it won’t in the future.”
Bitcoin was up more than 1,600 percent so far in 2017, having started the year at less than $1,000.

‘MARCH TOWARDS LEGITIMISATION’
As of early afternoon trading in New York, 3,951 one-month contracts had changed hands, meaning around $73.1 million had been notionally traded. That compares with daily trading volumes of more than $21.5 billion across all cryptocurrencies, according to trade website Coinmarketcap.
There had been speculation that the futures launch would trigger more gyrations in the market. But while volatile compared with traditional currencies or assets, the rise on Monday was relatively tame for bitcoin.
Bitcoin surged more than 40 percent in 48 hours last week, before tumbling 20 percent in the following 10 hours.
“(Bitcoin futures) will speed up the march towards legitimisation of an asset class that only a few years ago many law enforcement agencies would have argued had limited legitimate reasons for people to use,” said Jo Torode, a financial crime lawyer at Ropes & Gray in London.
The futures are cash-settled contracts, allowing investors exposure without having to hold any of the cryptocurrency.
The futures are based on the auction price of bitcoin in U.S. dollars on the Gemini Exchange, which is owned and operated by virtual currency entrepreneurs and brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
DRAMATIC GAINS
Bitcoin was set up in 2008 by an individual or group calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto, and was the first digital currency to successfully use cryptography to keep transactions secure and hidden, making traditional financial regulation difficult if not impossible.
Central bankers and critics of the cryptocurrency have been ringing the alarm bells over its surge in price and other risks such as whether the opaque market can be used for money laundering.
“It looks remarkably like a bubble forming to me,” the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Acting Governor Grant Spencer said on Sunday.
Somebody who invested $1,000 in bitcoin at the start of 2013 would now be sitting on around $1.2 million.
Heightened excitement ahead of the launch of the Cboe futures gave an extra kick to the cryptocurrency’s scorching run this year.
The launch has so far received a mixed reception from big U.S. banks and brokerages.
Several online brokerages, including Charles Schwab Corp and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp, did not allow trading of the new futures immediately.
The Financial Times reported on Friday that JPMorgan Chase & Co and Citigroup Inc would not immediately clear bitcoin trades for clients.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc said on Thursday it was planning to clear such trades for certain clients.
