Funds generated by the ISR anniversary celebration will be used for graduate student fellowships and research projects at ISR.
- Simon Musgrave, the Acting Director of the Essex Archive in the United Kingdom, was welcomed as the European representative to the meeting.
Memorandum of Agreement
Just prior to the meeting, Council received the first draft of a new Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) dated June 5, 1998. This document is intended to describe the new organizational arrangement for ICPSR within ISR -- that is, ICPSR will no longer function as a subunit of the Center for Political Studies (CPS) but instead will become a separate, hosted unit operating out of the ISR Director';s office.
Copies of a letter that Council Chair Hal Winsborough wrote to ISR Director David Featherman after the March Council meeting (which David did not receive) were distributed, along with copies of the previous MoA annotated with changes.
David indicated that he had hoped to be further along in the process of adopting the new MoA, but unavoidable delays had occurred as a result of reorganization within the office of legal counsel at the University of Michigan (U-M). Hal and Past Chair Carole Shammas had been authorized to undertake negotiations regarding the MoA and to present the results of their discussions to Council, but time had not permitted this activity to take place.
The draft MoA is basically a realization of a letter David wrote to Carole last summer and is ISR's best effort at this stage to create a broader scope and a more flexible financial and administrative arrangement for ICPSR than had been the case when the Consortium was a program within a center. It is an attempt to be as responsive as possible to Council's concerns and to provide opportunities for ICPSR to function more as a partner within ISR. It should be noted that many of the items that seem new in the MoA are actually the result of making explicit what were before tacit assumptions.
Previously, no formal negotiations took place between Council and U-M; CPS performed that role, and these matters were viewed as being "all in the family." Now all parties involved need to be clear about the operating rules; this will be beneficial in the long term to ICPSR, ISR, and U-M.
The new arrangement has come at a price: it means that CPS is losing one of its biggest programs. But relations with CPS have remained collegial, and the ISR Policy Committee has also demonstrated a willingness to move ahead with the process. It should be possible to negotiate a new relationship providing more financial and administrative autonomy for ICPSR and, more importantly, further opportunities for scientific and intellectual contributions.
A concern was raised that Council is facing a serious time problem. The next meeting will not take place until October 1998, but a plan for operating in the interim needs to be approved by July 1, 1998.
As the MoA exists now, it is in clear conflict with the Bylaws. Also, there are additional problematic areas dealing with liability issues. For example, the MoA states that, in the unlikely event that the Consortium liquidates and there aren't enough funds to cover the closeout, U-M or ICPSR's creditors can assess the member institutions for the remaining financial obligations. Also, Council is not shielded by U-M with respect to lawsuits. These are examples of matters that previously were perhaps implicit but have been made explicit in the new MoA. It would be impossible for Council to sign off on either of these conditions as currently presented in the MoA.
A suggestion was made to investigate other consortia like the Big 10, CIC, CIESIN, and MERIT network, which is another hosted unit at U-M. The contracts and MoA's of these other consortia may provide some guidance in terms of structuring the new agreement between ICPSR and ISR.
ICPSR might also consider incorporating as a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization. There are several benefits to this approach. Council would have protection, and financial liability would be limited to the assets of the corporation. Insurance could be purchased to protect Council against suit by personnel, members, survey subjects, data providers, and others. ICPSR would become a legal entity separate from ISR, U-M, and the academy in general; it would be set up to take in money, pay taxes, hire staff, and possibly build a building.
On the downside, such a step would involve legal expense. It would also bring an added complexity to Council's oversight role. Moreover, incorporation might involve changes in ICPSR's relationship with ISR, U-M, data donors, and the membership, who would most likely have to vote on the incorporation issue.
It was pointed out that not all Council members were comfortable with the concept of incorporating, and concern was expressed that Council's role might change dramatically if ICPSR were to incorporate. Also, this could be perceived as an attempt to "get rid" of ICPSR, given the upcoming move off-campus. It was emphasized that the move is coincidental, and that ICPSR is a part of ISR's vision in five years when all of ISR is again housed in a single building.
Council was also reminded that we have been operating under a temporary MoA for about a year, but if a new MoA is not approved by July 1, 1998, the previous arrangement with CPS goes back into effect.
It was decided to investigate incorporation and to get legal consultation. The Administration and Governance committee will take this up in greater detail during their meeting.
Council members highlighted additional sections of the MoA that contained problematic language. The previous MoA laid out several areas in which Council had a decision-making or consulting role that appears to be absent in the new agreement. It was noted that the Bylaws actually set out the role of Council. Also, endowments are not addressed specifically, nor are agreements with third parties like MicroCase. The response was that, under Section IV, Subsection 2. (Revenues), there is language relating to ICPSR's ability to earn interest on accounts, and this applies to endowments as well.
The budgets sent out as part of the Council packet describe a financially healthy organization. Whose money is it that is reflected in the budget, and would it travel with the organization if it were incorporated? It was noted that most grants and contracts are paid to the U-M Regents.
A clarification of the status of ICPSR within ISR was requested. It will be a unit called ICPSR, hosted at the U-M, with reporting lines to the ISR Director. References in the MoA to "other centers" should be modified as ICPSR will not have center status. The Executive Director will have a seat on the ISR Policy Committee but will have no vote. A suggestion was made to amend the language regarding nonvoting rights to cover the possibility that the Policy Committee might at some point grant voting rights to the ICPSR Executive Director.
It was emphasized that incorporating would make little difference in the arrangement with ISR. It would simply provide a mechanism for buying insurance and limiting liability; it would not be the first step to the Consortium's setting up its own shop.
It is important to compare the new MoA closely with the old one. In what ways does the new MoA change the role of Council? The old MoA appeared to provide more opportunities for Council to offer advice and consent and also specified a fiscal oversight role. While it may seem that the new MoA limits Council's role in fiscal oversight, it is still the case that Council retains the right to approve the budget. The ISR Policy Committee considered Council's role carefully; they tried to clarify instances when advice, consent, or approval was involved and to be more specific about the language used, particularly in areas where there had been disagreement in the past.
The old MoA provided a pseudo grievance procedure, the intent of which was to provide access to Council by ICPSR staff. It is unlikely that U-M would permit an outside body to interfere in personnel matters, but some level of access by staff to Council could be desirable.
Under Section I, Subsection 1.B. (Programmatic Review), there appears to have been a shift from a substantive review of the organization in terms of whether it is fulfilling its mission to the social sciences to an evaluation of whether the Executive Director is doing a good job. Also, it appears that the ISR Director can initiate a search for a new Executive Director, but Council cannot do the same.
The concern was raised that in order to vote on the new MoA, Council needs to see a point-by-point comparison, and that has not yet happened. If ICPSR were to revert to operating under the old MoA, $247,657 of ICPSR's funds would transfer to CPS. The new arrangement will not replicate these charges at this level, although ICPSR will have to pay for an administrator.
A solution to the time problem might be to write up a temporary MoA that covers the fiscal matters and identifies the larger concepts that are still subject to negotiation. This temporary MoA would be in effect for six months, until Council meets again in October. It was noted that the July 1 deadline is rapidly approaching and it may be difficult to get U-M counsel to act that quickly. It was also pointed out that the rental agreement for the Borders building space that ICPSR is planning to expand into cannot be signed until some type of legal agreement between ICPSR and ISR is in place.
It was decided to deputize Hal and Carole to work with David and Peggy and legal counsel to put a temporary agreement into place; copious feedback will be solicited through e-mail.
Council will continue to mull over these matters and will come back to them in Executive Session. The Administration and Governance Committee will provide a motion to engage legal counsel, to explore the option of incorporating, and to affirm that Hal and Carole should begin to negotiate with ISR posthaste. Council members were directed to inform Hal or the Administration and Governance committee of concerns over specific issues.
The issue of how much space ICPSR will need when it moves offsite was discussed. Over the months, ICPSR has learned a great deal about how space is calculated and measured. At ISR usable space is measured by leaving out "dead" space such as elevator shafts, walls, etc. In the private sector, these areas are included in the chargeable measurements. Therefore, although ICPSR occupies over 11,000 square feet of space in the ISR building, in order to have an equivalent amount, 21,000 square feet would have to be rented off campus. ISR charges its units between $3-$5 per square foot.
ISR cannot build fast enough to match its growth. In order to help accommodate this expansion, ISR will rent space offsite and work with units moving offsite to assure that they have adequate facilities to meet their needs. It appears certain that ICPSR will be moving to facilities that ISR will be renting for it at Borders';less than two blocks from the ISR Building.
The ISR Policy Committee has agreed that it will charge all ISR units $5 per square foot for current space that each occupies in the ISR building. Any additional space that is needed will be charged at the going market rate. That means that ICPSR will pay $5 per square foot up to 11,000 square feet for space that it occupies offsite (most likely at Borders) and will pay the market rate for whatever additional space it needs now or in the future before it moves back into a larger to-be-constructed ISR building, using the same measurement system at both locations. The estimate is that this additional space will add about $50,000 to the ICPSR expenses for space.
This is not the first time that ICPSR offices were located offsite. Prior to its current space in the ISR Building, ICPSR was housed at offices approximately four blocks away. The ICPSR staff moved back to the main ISR building in early 1977.
It was noted that there were many plans being made to keep ICPSR integrated with the rest of ISR. Among the activities planned would be ISR committee meetings at the ICPSR offices at Borders.
The Borders area offers the ICPSR staff many amenities. The new space is much more modular than current ISR space. The very high quality cubicles that exist in the Borders building will remain, allowing ICPSR to make much better use of the space that it will have. The few offices that exist in the space will be reserved as meeting areas for staff in the cubicles. The ICPSR committee that has been created to study the space issue has been very impressed with the space. It was also noted that there will not be any connectivity issues for us when we move to the Borders area making it fairly straightforward to move our computing environment to the new location.
Richard noted that ICPSR has set aside an additional $20,000 for the move. This amount is in addition to the cost of the physical move, which will be borne by ISR. The current projected date for the move is around October 1, 1998.
Report from the 1997 ICPSR Summer Program and plans for 1998
The next item on the agenda was a report on the Summer Program by Hank Heitowit. Hank referred the members to the Summer Program Advisory Report summarizing the 1997 program's activities.
There were a little over 500 attendees at the 1997 sessions. Some new one-week courses were added. It was noted that the largest number of attendees at the program came from Political Science, followed closely by Sociology and Psychology. It was noted that the number of University of Michigan students taking the courses for credit is steadily shrinking. The drop in enrollment in this area impacts the budget for the program.
The 1998 Program is now just beginning. Hank noted that although the Summer Program brochure is on the website, there was a great run on the printed copies of the brochure. This was somewhat of a surprise since the expectation was that the electronic version would reduce the number of requests for the paper copy.
A report was given on the offsite LISREL course that was taught by Ken Bollen at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill the week of May 11, 1998. This was the first time an ICPSR course was given offsite, and it was seen as an experiment with this format. A great deal was learned from this experiment.
The course drew eight people, which was a lower enrollment than was expected. It appears that the advertisements for courses offsite will need to be handled differently. There also needs to be administrative support for the course locally to assist with logistics including travel and lodging for the participants. It is expected that more courses of this nature will be offered at offsite locations.
Hank passed out two handouts for symposia being held in conjunction with the Summer Program. One is the SRC/ISR CoSponsored ISR Founders Symposium, which brings in different speakers over a period of weeks.
The other is the Hubert M. Blalock Lecture Series. The organizers of the symposia are especially excited about the section on high performance computers. This has been made possible because of the funding that Richard Rockwell obtained earlier on behalf of the University of Michigan. The speakers in this series are especially innovative in this field.
Hank noted that there have been 580 applications for this year's Summer Program so far; however, not all of the applications translate into attendees. Additionally, not all enrollments are equal financially. Although some students pay tuition, not all people attending the program do, and those who attend as guest scholars pay much lower fees than do those who pay tuition.
The Summer Program is funded from four sources: 1) tuition, 2) ICPSR fees which are set by Council, 3) ICPSR operating budget, and 4) outside grants and contracts usually for specific programs. Funds coming from tuition have been dropping as noted above, primarily because of the drop in the number of University of Michigan students attending and of students seeking credit for courses. The fees are keeping pace with inflation. If we want to balance the Summer Program budget, we will need to look toward an increase in the amount of money being allocated to the program from the ICPSR operating budget.
Hank pointed out that in the past when the ICPSR budget was less robust, one of the areas cut back was the Summer Program. This may now need to be restored since the ICPSR budget has become much healthier.
It was noted that one of the suggestions in the Executive Director's five-year financial plan which had been presented earlier was to drop the ICPSR Summer Program subsidy to students attending from member institutions. Almost everything proposed in that plan has been adopted except the discontinuation of the Summer Program subsidy. It may be time to review this again. It might be useful to get input from members to determine how critical the subsidy is to their decision to come to the Summer Program.
Discussion of changes occurring in ICPSR's data distribution policies
The Executive Director noted that ICPSR continues to receive requests from institutions to distribute ICPSR data through their local websites. Last year Harvard requested permission to allow access to a website service they had developed that provided statistics from the ICPSR Historical Census materials. This year we have a request from Princeton to make available information through 1995 from the United Nations Roll Call collection. The Princeton request asks that anyone be allowed to query the data although they would not be allowed to download them. While requests such as this singularly do not hurt us, there is a potential cumulative effect from these that could damage ICPSR in the long run.
Currently ICPSR has approximately 20% of its titles freely available to anyone. These are primarily in the fields of criminal justice and data supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHDA). Data from the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA) will shortly all be made publicly available, and eventually the data being archived under the Education project will also be freely available. There is a question as to what this will do to the membership base. This is something that the Council's Member Relations Committee needs to consider.
It was suggested that extra services need to be developed exclusively for members to help compensate for the opening up of much of the archive to all users without charge. It was requested that the Member Relations Committee draw up a set of questions around this and bring them to the full Council for consideration.
Archival Development
Friday, June 12
The Committee held a special session devoted to the development of an acquisitions policy. Working from a list of talking points, the group established a time table and working list of issues to address in a policy.
A reading list on collection and acquisition policies has been circulated. Policies of prominent and national level archives will be gathered and reviewed as we develop the document for ICPSR.
Saturday, June 13
The Committee discussed the following items on Saturday morning and reported a summary of its discussion and decisions to the full Council on Saturday afternoon:
Policy for ICPSR participation in value-added CD or web products.
ICPSR does not really have the resources to fully develop value-added products, and has welcomed the efforts of the membership and others to take on these activities. At the same time, ICPSR needs a policy to use when approached about such projects. The Committee discussed the following criteria ICPSR could use:
- What is the value of the proposed product to the membership?
- Should the resulting product be archived as a part of the ICPSR collection and should it be available to both members and non-members?
- The data to be augmented should already be a part of the ICPSR general collection.
- Documentation in the final product must be in electronic form.
- The proposed product must improve the original format of, or access to the data.
- The Committee will help develop an agreement form which addresses the criteria to be used in evaluation and renewal.
- The proposed product cannot compromise privacy or confidentiality.
Confidentiality and private-use datasets
Thus far, ICPSR has been somewhat lenient in how access to limited-use data has been provided. The Consortium does archive data which has either privacy or confidentiality problems. The Committee discussed various ways to address the issues and decided to devote substantial time to this area at its October 1998 meeting, based on a report distributed by Erik Austin and Chris Dunn.
Selection guidelines for retrofit conversion of codebooks to electronic form:
The Committee has had ongoing updates from Zack Allen on the progress of the codebook conversion. The Committee has been asked for input on how to set priorities for future conversions. Zack Allen prepared a hot list of items which are scheduled for retrofit. Each entry has had ten or more requests. Economic studies are to be converted first, followed by older studies and then studies which have been popular with the membership.
The Committee asked for a section on the ICPSR website to indicate titles which have been converted to PDF form, but which are not yet in a final version. This will permit users who can work with PDF formats to have access to this 'intermediate' version before the final version is released. The complete version of converted codebooks will appear in the Recent Updates section of the website.
NAPA Update
ICPSR staff circulated a revised diagram describing how new acquisitions arrive at ICPSR, and the levels of processing they receive. Staff also circulated a flow chart of operations and decision options used in determining the level of processing to be applied to an incoming item.
Finally, staff presented a chart documenting ICPSR acquisitions between September 1997 and May 1998. Approximately 78% of the collection arrives at ICPSR in ASCII format; about 10% of arrivals are in a statistical package portable format, while about 12% are deposited as system files.
Virtual archive web links
The ICPSR staff presented a list of websites which have been contacted to gain permission to set up a link between such sites and the ICPSR website. A number of the proposed sites have agreed to be linked. ICPSR staff will now be selected to familiarize themselves with the sites. A list of the linked sites will be placed on the ICPSR website. In addition, each individual website will be given an ICPSR study number, and the study description will refer to the URL and will provide some general tips on using the website. A short user response form will be automatically sent to the user to obtain information on the linked site. These responses will be used to evaluate the utility of the virtual archive idea.
Member Relations Committee
The Member Relations Committee met on Saturday, June 13, 1998, with Diane Geraci, Huey Perry, Mary Vardigan, and Mary Morris in attendance. Wendy Watkins joined the meeting via phone. Richard Rockwell also joined the group for most of the meeting.
In response to questions from new committee members, Rockwell provided general information about membership status, marketing activities, and retention efforts. Membership grew in the 1980's and early 1990's and has been fairly stable over the last two to three years. A recruitment drive was initiated two years ago and was targeted at B institutions. Council was asked to identify contacts at the B schools that were not members. Those individuals, as well as department and library heads, were included in the mailing. Letters were mailed to over 60 schools, which resulted in two new B category members and two new federation members.
If a school indicates it is going to drop membership, a letter is sent, describing the benefits and advantages of membership. Schools are reminded of the one- year advance notice requirement for dropping and the reentry penalty, if reentry is desired at a later date. When a school officially gives the one-year notice, Rockwell writes again to the Official Representative, and copies the letter to the chairs of all the social science departments. This sometimes results in additional support for the membership.
Questions were raised as to why schools drop membership. A recommendation was made that ICPSR keep detailed information on reasons for dropping membership. This information would be helpful in efforts to both increase and retain membership.
Rockwell noted that we have sent ICPSR staff to member schools to conduct workshops as one way of publicizing ICPSR on local campuses and thus retaining membership. Suggestions offered by committee members to retain membership included increasing archival holdings of international data and economic data; exploring Consortium purchases of data whereby ICPSR would obtain site licenses for certain databases and then charge members for the data; and offering more value-added features, such as data extraction options and regional training.
Suggestions pertaining to the marketing of ICPSR membership included creating a marketing position at ICPSR to centralize membership efforts; identifying schools that are adding new research programs in the social sciences; increasing follow-through with nonmember academics who request price quotes; attending the Association of College and Research Libraries annual meeting (sending both an ICPSR staff member and Official Representative); encouraging summer program attendees who are not at member schools to lobby for membership; and emphasizing the digital nature of our archive to libraries that are not members (since there is increased emphasis for libraries to be digital).
The issue of freely available data from the ICPSR topical archives and its impact on membership was part and parcel of these discussions. Should all data be free and membership be based on something other than the provision of data? Would support of the social science infrastructure be a sufficient rationale to support membership?
Rockwell gave a status report on OhioLink. That consortium will probably join July 1st. The OhioLink membership will include all Ohio higher education institutions, including private colleges and universities. It is uncertain whether community colleges will be part of the membership.
Rockwell also reported on the University of Michigan initiative. Previously Council approved an experiment to give access to ICPSR data to the entire UM campus for a fee. This has not yet gone forward. Plus it was noted that Harvard has already implemented individual access locally, with no increase in membership dues.
Finally, responses from the open-ended questions on the survey of Official Representative conducted in the fall of 1997 were presented. The responses had been categorized and tabulated. In general, ORs want increased acquisitions for international data and economic data, additional promotional materials for local use, and better searching tools for locating data in the ICPSR holdings. Results of the survey, including item frequencies, will be sent to all Official Representatives this fall.
Quantitative Research and Training Committee
The first topic was a report from Ken Bollen on his experience in offering a Summer Program workshop at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In March of 1998 ICPSR offered for the first time ever a course in a location other than Ann Arbor. This was done in part to discover what the problems would be of ICPSR offering off-site workshops. A key element in this type of activity is having a local campus co-sponsor (in this case the Carolina Population Center). The local sponsor needs to coordinate the availability of such resources as: adequate classroom space, computer lab and software and associated staff support; administrative support for registration, housing; and information dissemination. Arrangements must be made for coordinating the handling of fee collection and payment of workshop related costs. Other issues included sequencing the course dates with those of the regular ICPSR Program and special efforts to advertise and promote these kinds of special activities so as to gain the attention of the appropriate market segments.
Next, Ken Bollen reported that he was leading a team of scholars at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill that was submitting a proposal to the National Science Foundation- Science and Technology Center competition, to establish a Social Science Statistics Center. The focus would be on the topic of research and training on longitudinal data. There followed a discussion about ICPSR collaborating with UNC on some aspects of the project. This evolved to a generally shared view that the two groups could team on a limited set of training activities, including: distance learning, video recording of lectures and classes, video conferencing, and regional short course/training.
It was also reported that Bollen and Heitowit were proceeding with plans to hold an advanced methodology conference on the topic of "missing data in longitudinal data analysis." The conference is tentatively planned for the spring of 1999 in Ann Arbor.
There then followed a short discussion of the desire on the part of several members of Council for ICPSR to offer short, one day workshop/presentations on a variety of different and innovative methodologies so that established scholars could stay current with recent trends in social science research. ICPSR already co-sponsors such workshops with the American Sociological Association's Methods Section, the day before the ASA annual meeting. It was also suggested that such an arrangement might be possible to coordinate with the Social Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association, as well as perhaps other professional groups and associations.
Finally it was noted that while the Summer Program was largely self supporting, it was still in need of a reasonable contribution of resources from the ICPSR budgets, on the same basis as other core organizational units.
Administration and Governance Committee
The Administration and Governance Committee met to approve the budget and recommended line items for equity funds, i.e., close-out, capital equipment, sabbaticals, and special projects. It was estimated that 50K a year could be earned in equity funds. Halliman Winsborough made a motion to approve the budget. Margo Anderson seconded the motion. Council voted and unanimously approved the budget.
The committee discussed the proposed MoA and noted several areas that should be reviewed by legal counsel. Due to time constraints, an interim MOA must be in place by July 1, 1998. Members of the Administration and Governance committee recommended the following guidelines be followed:
"It is the sense of the Council that the process of developing a new Memorandum of Agreement with the Institute for Social Research is developing fruitfully. While we recognize there are many details to be worked out in writing, it is our expectation that an interim agreement will be in place on July 1, 1998 such that the routine business of ICPSR within ISR can proceed efficiently and effectively. We expect the full Memorandum of Agreement to emerge for our review in October 1998.
We thank all parties at the Institute for Social Research and the University of Michigan for their thoughtful and considered work on this process."
A set of procedures to approve and enact an interim Memorandum of Agreement was also unanimously approved:
"The draft interim Memorandum of Agreement will be distributed electronically to Council members for review. The ICPSR Council Chair will seek legal advice on the content and intent of the proposed interim Memorandum of Agreement. The cost of such legal advice should be reported to Council if in excess of $10,000. Any activities triggered by the interim Memorandum of Agreement, beginning July 1, 1998, will be fully described to Council so that Council is informed about the progress and outcomes of any such activities."
The draft interim MoA will be distributed to the ICPSR Council, the ISR Director and Assistant Director, the ICPSR Executive Director and the ICPSR Management Team for comments. Due to time constraints, the ICPSR Council Chair requested the Council and other's give their immediate attention to comments and concerns.
ICPSR Membership at the University of Michigan
The Administration and Governance committee requested ICPSR strengthen the ICPSR membership on the University of Michigan campus. Council asked that bottlenecks in the process of data distribution and access be identified and worked out. It was noted that the University of Michigan is the host of ICPSR and should receive superior services.
Public Data Requests
ICPSR has been approached for access to the Detroit Area Study. It was suggested the Mayor of Detroit had an interest in this dataset. Requests of this nature will be discussed at the Archival Development committee meeting in October 1998.

About this Business
- HoursSun-Sat12:00 AM - 11:59 PM
From Our Editors
In the distance, the thump of discharged weapons can be heard. Spires of a castle loom over the tree tops, and as the platoon approaches, a hail of fire fells three of them. As those hit trudge off the field and wipe the paint from their goggles, the rest of their team makes a hasty retreat only to assault the position from a different angle. These tense moments occur daily at Three Rivers Paintball. More than 70 acres of wooded battlefield sports crashed airplanes, broken down tanks, and large-scale fortresses. The staff also hosts airsoft battles, with scenarios reenacting battles from history such as World War II or Napoleon's thumb wars. A full-service pro shop carries traditional paintball equipment needed to wage nonlethal war.

I am running Easy Modal 2.0.9.
After the upgrade, Easy Modal reverted to the default settings for the Theme.
I cannot save any changes to the Theme now - for all tabs - the menus let me make changes, but when I hit the Save button, it reverts instantly back to the default settings.
I have a staging server running Easy Modal 18.104.22.168 and that version seems to work perfectly.
Should I downgrade to version 126.96.36.199? Or is there a workaround for version 2.0.9 that will solve this problem?

i will buy more if it drops 3 points --- the news was fine and this is just one of their many new drugs in the pipe line -- i predict 120 and then stock split -- buy and hold for years
HMMM...... The CEO is from Wall street..... A Stock Split will never happen... They are buying back shares to shirnk the shares on the street to thus drive up shareholder equity. You must be a Brand new investor. You NEVER want a company to split the stock. you want them to buy back their shares and shirnk the float. Basic economics fewer shares availbale to trade creates a larger demand and drives the price up.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Well I guess you could look at it that way ,but you also want to grow your share holders as the company grows.New share holders are more ready available at the split price.The company will always stand on its own with good pipe line and management.Think about it!!!!Have a great day!!!!

Library Debates Internet Privacy By The Exchange • Sep 23, 2015 College Scorecard (9:00): Two years ago, President Obama announced plans for rating colleges and universities, so students would know whether they were getting a good value. Now, the administration has released its College Scorecard, and students and families are deciding how best to use it. Increasingly Students Don't Pay College's 'Sticker Price' By Sam Evans-Brown & Brady Carlson • May 7, 2014 College Board / https://trends.collegeboard.org/sites/default/files/trends-2010-tuition-discounting-institutional-aid-report.pdf Rising tuition attracts a lot of headlines, but the amount that schools give out in financial aid is also on the rise. Financial aid can make higher education more accessible to low-income students, but it can also serve as a tool to attract the types of students school want to attract, and to fill seats that might otherwise go empty. Lucy Lapovsky is an education consultant who has studied the question of how much students are actually paying for college and spoke to All Things Considered Host Brady Carlson. Paying For College In N.H.: Financial Aid & Student Debt By The Exchange • May 6, 2014 Weston College / Flickr/CC We continue our series "A Matter of Degrees" with how families finance higher education. With the price tag ever-rising, and grants scarce, students are shopping-around and cobbling together a variety of funding approaches.

Fox Shows Photos Of Muslim Men: 'Would You Want A Guy Like This Living In Your Backyard?'
Since President Obama's announcement last week that he would shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention center within one year, Fox News has done its best to frighten its viewers about the rule:
SEAN HANNITY: That's somewhat frightening, you're going to close Guantanamo Bay, you don't know what's going to happen, you don't know where you're going to put these people. [1/23/09]
GLENN BECK: Somebody told me that if this goes through and we put 200 people into this system, that it will shut down our justice system. Our justice system just won't be able to do it.[1/20/09]
BRIAN KILMEADE: You're talking about the worst of the Taliban, the worst of al Qaeda, and we have to let them go, give them trials? Why do we need to do this and compromise the CIA and our intelligence bureau — a lot of the intelligence was built on these guys, was done using our clandestine operations. So we have to expose that for these trials? [1/22/09]
Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) said last week that the U.S. could hold the detainees in federal prisons, just like we hold thousands of other dangerous inmates. This morning, Fox and Friends responded by sending a reporter to Murtha's district to flash photos of suspected terrorists — their only identification being Muslim headgear — and ask residents, "Would you want a guy like this living in your backyard?" Watch it:
Despite Fox's suggestion that detainees could be pitching a tent in your backyard, Guantanamo detainees transferred to the U.S. for trials would be housed in federal prisons — where dozens of dangerous terrorists are already held. In fact, the United States has already successfully prosecuted 145 terrorism cases in federal court, a sharp contrast to the series of debacles in Guantanamo prosecutions.
Later in the segment, the Fox hosts repeated some of the right wing's favorite myths about Guantanamo. They endorsed the "great idea" conservatives have been pushing of sending detainees to Alcatraz or a "haunted" prison in West Virginia:
CLAYTON MORRIS: We've got Alcatraz that exists. We give tours out there. Put them out on an island on Alcatraz, which is under our jurisdiction. What about Moundsville State Penitentiary? Someone from West Virginia wrote me and said it's a haunted prison. It's vacant.
In other words, Fox News and the right wing would prefer to send Guantanamo detainees to theme parks rather than to maximum-security federal prisons.

INDIANTOWN, Fla. (AP) - Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials say a man in Martin County was attacked by a 30-pound bobcat.
The attack happened Friday, when two men working on a fence on
private property in Indiantown spotted the feline.
As the cat approached, one of the men moved his arms to shoo it away; the bobcat jumped on the man.
Officials said the other worker used a hammer to kill the bobcat.
Authorities will test the cat carcass for rabies.

I'm intrigued. It actually can't and this is why it isn't very useful within Fedora, as we get big updates, not just minimal security patches. KSplice can't handle that kind of updates. It can only handle small patches which don't change any data structures. So the official Fedora kernel updates will never be suitable to be distributed through KSplice. Kevin Kofler

Hey there. I've been testing your plugin on a local install of wordpress multisite (using two languages: Spanish and English) and it was working great; but I just installed it on my actual website and now I'm having major problems in the admin.
On the Spanish site, my edit screen doesn't load anymore! It crashes just as it's starting to load the multisite language switcher widget. I'm having the same problem on the all posts screen too. After ten or so posts get called up, the page stops dead.
As soon as I deactivated the plugin, everything went back to normal. To be sure, I also test the plugin with the default theme and all other other plugins deactivated, but the pages still broke.
I suspect it has something to do with the number of English articles I have on the site (over 1900).
Any suggestions? I'd really like to keep using this plugin.

My Top Five Sensitive Liam Neeson Roles
Mark Kermode
Action star Liam Neeson has a new film out this week. But what about his gentler side?
Mark Kermode
Action star Liam Neeson has a new film out this week. But what about his gentler side?
Rev - Series 3, episode 5. Lovely Liam.
He was well suited to Valjean in the 1998 adaptation in les Miserables.
He led a real commanding role in K-19: the widow maker.
@Pablogilchrist totally agree and if that's not enough for you- you get to see him punch a wolf in the face. BOOM take that wolfie!!
Did his role in Nell make it into the top ten?
He was good as 'James' your dad in Fallout 3.
Surely Ethan Frome should be on this list? Surely more sensitive than any of the characters listed?
And why on earth should I watch 'Kinsey'? I'd spend the entire film trying not to notice his terrible, forced, phoney accent. Meh. Don't get me started on his accents...I am sick to death of being expected to suspend disbelief in order to accept that an American is actually a Brit, or vice versa. No, sorry, if you want an American, get an American. If you want a Brit, get a Brit. Gwyneth Paltrow in 'Sliding Doors' playing a flustered London commuter? Err, no. Rene Zelwegger as a neurotic British 30-something, or Beatrix Potter (?!) Err no. Liam Neeson as a US special forces dude? Err, no. Anthony "I'm so Welsh I'm American" Hopkins as Nixon? Err, no. Any film with Brian Cox playing an American? Err, no. I even have problems with Christian Bale, though I do like him as an actor. His outburst during the filming of 'Terminator: Salvation' was even more cringe-worthy for me, precisely because of his forced American accent that he kept while yelling at poor guy. I'll sum it up like this: imagine casting an American to play a Cockney behind the bar at the Old Vic. That is how idiotic it is. For me, it utterly demolishes the fourth wall before the damn film has even begun.
I can believe almost anything on screen, no matter how dumb or implausible. But phoney accents just get on my mammaries. And Liam Neeson is one of the worst offenders of them all.
Mark, you really are an idiot sometimes. You stopped forgiving Adam Sandler for all his crap films because of Punch Drunk Love (the penny has finally dropped, eh?), yet you are still - unaccountably - impressed by Mr Neeson. Why? Apparently you never saw his 'brilliant' performance in that god-awful remake of The Haunting, you know, that classic, psychological horror that you love so much. Really, enough already. The guy couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Schlinder's List was his Punch Drunk Love. It was a one off! Stop defending this buffoon.
The Grey is a surprisingly existential film, in amongst all the wolf-wrangling, and he's excellent in it. And 'Woman of Substance'! Thank you earlier commenter, I'd forgotten that.
(Nice jacket Dr K).
I was waiting for you to mention Husbands and Wives, Mark!

We love the 4th of July: the parades, the flags, the fireworks and most of all the barbecues that accompany this quintessential all-American summer holiday. The 4th of July is a long weekend for many of us: which means extra time at the grill cooking for a crowd—we're not complaining!
We love our burgers, ribs, chicken and steak.
The common denominator of all of these grilled favorites? They're all enhanced by barbecue sauce.
Making your own barbecue sauce is a quick little kitchen project that pays satisfying dividends. Why not get a head start on your sauce?
Our Demi-Glace Gold® can be your secret weapon in whipping up some barbecue sauces that will be great on whatever you're throwing on the grill this weekend.
When you make your own sauce, you know exactly what's in it. The Food Lover's Companion (by Sharon Tyler Herbst)—a great reference to have in your kitchen—defines barbecue sauce as "traditionally made with tomatoes, onion, mustard, garlic vinegar and brown sugar." But, within this basic framework is plenty of room for tailoring a sauce that meets your needs.
Using our demi-glace will give your sauce a depth of flavor that will make it unique.
Anything you make at home will be fresher and healthier because you control all the ingredients, especially the salt and sugar.
Make a double batch to use later on to enjoy this sauce yet again. You can even send some of your homemade sauce home with friends and family!
Our talented recipe developer Jennifer is a native of Kansas City —and trust us when we say the girl knows her barbecue. One of the sauces Jennifer likes is right out of our MTG archives for Red Eye Barbecue Sauce.
We wish we could be at Jennifer's 4th of July cookout; but we can use one of her favorites!
Red Eye Barbecue Sauce (Makes about 1 ½ cups)
This dark, flavorful barbecue sauce gets some of its great flavor from coffee, just like traditional Southern red eye gravy. With spices, tomato ketchup, sweet dark brown sugar, and the meaty, deep flavor of our demi-glace, it's a winner. Try it with grilled meats, game, or poultry, or stirred into a pot of chili or baked beans.
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sweet or hot paprika
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 ounces Demi-Glace Gold®
- Salt and ground black pepper
- Warm the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until it is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and paprika and cook, stirring, one minute more. Add the ketchup and brown sugar and cook, stirring, just until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Stir in the coffee, water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Demi-Glace Gold®, stirring until the concentrate dissolves. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and cook until it reduces slightly and thickens, about 20 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the sauce at a simmer.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the sauce from the heat and let cool about 10 minutes, and then purée the sauce in a blender. Store it in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Another sauce we love is our Best Barbecue Sauce.We love the versatility of this tangy little sauce. We especially love it slathered over ribs or pork chops.
Need an appetizer to bring to a barbecue? Another place to use our demi-glace is in our Braised Veal Meatballs. This is also a great make ahead dish that will get rave reviews.
Of course, we understand the needs of busy cooks and confess that sometimes we buy bottled sauce! We love to pick up bottles of sauce when we travel (some of the best bottled sauces we've picked up in Texas and South Carolina—two of the best places on the planet for barbecue— in our opinion.) You can add about 1½ ounces of our Demi-Glace Gold® to a bottled sauce to ramp up the flavor even more.
Want more great ideas for using our demi-glace? Check out our family recipe section.
Shop day or night online in our pantry…we're awake when you are.
Have a memorable 4th of July, wherever you are celebrating it.

Thorium-234 as a tracer of spatial, temporal and vertical variability in particle flux in the North Pacific

KeywordThorium-234; Particle flux; Sediment trap; Scavenging; North Pacific
An extensive 234Th data set was collected at two sites in the North Pacific: ALOHA, an oligotrophic site near Hawaii, and K2, a mesotrophic HNLC site in the NW Pacific as part of the VERTIGO (VERtical Transport in the Global Ocean) study. Total 234Th:238U activity ratios near 1.0 indicated low particle fluxes at ALOHA, while 234Th:238U ~0.6 in the euphotic zone at K2 indicated higher particle export. However, spatial variability was large at both sites- even greater than seasonal variability as reported in prior studies. This variability in space and time confounds the use of single profiles of 234Th for sediment trap calibration purposes. At K2, there was a decrease in export flux and increase in 234Th activities over time associated with the declining phase of a summer diatom bloom, which required the use of non-steady state models for flux predictions. This variability in space and time confounds the use of single profiles of 234Th for sediment trap calibration purposes. High vertical resolution profiles show narrow layers (20-30 m) of excess 234Th below the deep chlorophyll maximum at K2 associated with particle remineralization resulting in a decrease in flux at depth that may be missed with standard sampling for 234Th and/or with sediment traps. Also, the application of 234Th as POC flux tracer relies on accurate sampling of particulate POC/234Th ratios and here the ratio is similar on sinking particles and mid-sized particles collected by in-situ filtration (>10-50 μm at ALOHA and >5–350 μm at K2). To further address variability in particle fluxes at K2, a simple model of the drawdown of 234Th and nutrients is used to demonstrate that while coupled during export, their ratios in the water column will vary with time and depth after export. Overall these 234Th data provide a detailed view into particle flux and remineralization in the North Pacific over time and space scales that are varying over days to weeks, and 10's to 100's km at a resolution that is difficult to obtain with other methods.

Siam Cement Pcl said it will sell a 15.6 percent stake in PTT Chemical Pcl for 33 billion baht ($1.1 billion) as Thailand's third-biggest publicly traded company by market value seeks funds for domestic and overseas expansion.
Siam Cement will sell 236 million shares of PTT Chemical at 140 baht, booking a gain of about 8.8 billion baht in the fourth quarter, the company said in a regulatory filing today. That was 9 percent less than PTT Chemical's closing price yesterday.
Siam Cement, controlled by King Bhumibol Adulyadej's asset management arm, has built new plants and bought rivals in countries including Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia to bolster growth. Demand for Siam Cement's petrochemicals, paper and cement has increased as economic growth in China and the rest of Asia spurs sales of cars, electrical appliances and other consumer products.
"The proceeds will provide Siam Cement financial resources to accelerate its expansion and acquisition in the region," Rattana Leenutaphong, an analyst at IV Global Securities Pcl in Bangkok, said by phone today. Siam Cement selling PTT Chemical stock at a discount is "acceptable" given the large number of shares, said Rattana. She has a "buy" recommendation on Siam Cement.
Siam Cement's shares fell 1.4 percent to 342 baht as of 12:24 p.m. in Bangkok. PTT Chemical's stock dropped as much as 6.2 percent, the biggest intraday drop since Sept. 2, and traded at 146.5 baht.
Domestic Sale
The divestment is the biggest domestic sale since Siam Commercial Bank Pcl sold a $1.45 billion stake in Singburi Sugar Ltd. in March 2002, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Earlier this year, Thanachart Bank Pcl agreed to pay about 1 billion baht for the Bank of Thailand's 48 percent share in Siam City Bank Pcl.
Siam Cement will hold 67 million shares, or 4.42 percent stake, of PTT Chemical after the sale, according to the filing. Siam Cement also has its own petrochemical plant, competing with PTT Chemical.
"This sale will enhance SCC's ability to pursue both regional and domestic business expansion in its core businesses," President Kan Trakulhoon said in a statement to the stock exchange today. The board approved the stake sale because Siam Cement is a minority shareholder in PTT Chemical and isn't involved in its management, Kan said.
Siam Cement first invested in National Petrochemical Pcl in 1984 and Thai Olefins Pcl in 1989, according to the statement. The companies then combined in 2005 to become PTT Chemical, the nation's biggest petrochemical company by market value.
Phatra Securities Pcl, Bank of America Corp.'s Merrill Lynch unit, UBS AG and Credit Suisse Group AG managed the share sale for Siam Cement.

This low cost compression driver is perfect for most two way applications.
by jeffdeq
on 3/18/2015
I purchased two of these drivers to use with two 5.5 x 6.25 horn lenses (MCM part number 54-830). I plan to add these tweeters to two Peavey loudspeakers. I tested the tweeters this evening on my EV Sentry IV speakers in the place of the two EV ST350A's. I was really impressed with the brilliance and clarity. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and recommend them considering how inexpensive they are.

I've loaded these drivers in an assortment of cabs and they perform just as well as original compression drivers!EV SX200s, RAM 12" 2-Way speakers, Ross 12" 2-way drivers.Some of the 1 3/8" threads are a bit tight or loose, depending on the model, but all in all, they're great for the money!

I had a pair old Peavey 112 cabinets with blown horns originally using Peavey 22XT drivers crossing over at 1200hz with constant directivity compensation. I decided to give MCM a chance rather than spend $50 each on the original diaphrams. I replaced the drivers with the 200watt 1.35 inch compression driver, I wasn't expecting much for a $10 part but I am incredibly suprised. They have been used in small to medium size venues 4 nights a week for karaoke and I'm driving these things with a 525 rms/channel AB 1100a power amp and they're taking it. The sound is clear, possibly better than the original drivers. The only thing of note that the SPL senstivity of these drivers are lower than the original horns so I have to EQ the high end up slightly to compensate for the crossover dropping it down.... excellent value. I've since used the 400 watt version in my SP-5TI's as well putting them more on par with my SP-5XT which has the higher power 44XT driver.

A Kentucky man is suing prosecutors and police after being wrongfully imprisoned for rape for seven years. DNA tests show William Gregory couldn't have committed the crime.
He's a free man now, but that doesn't pay his bills. Gregory says being incarcerated left him broke. He has no savings and nothing for retirement. That's because Kentucky is like most other states and won't allow those wrongfully convicted to seek compensation. So, he and others are turning to lawsuits.
Nearly 160 people have been freed from prison by DNA tests since 1989. But only 17 have been financially compensated by the states that locked them up.
Gregory says if he wins the case he'll use the money to start a foundation to help others in his position.

ATLANTA -- Call it the Raiders vs. Falcons Matchup to Watch No. 3A.Willie Smith will start at right tackle in place of the injured Khalif Barnes for the third straight game, and while Atlanta's John Abraham is officially listed as the Falcons' right defensive end, Smith figures to see him switch a lot Sunday and get his fill of the owner of 115 career sacks."He has a great motor, has a lot of moves," Smith said of Abraham. "He's a veteran, obviously, so he can pretty much do anything he wants to do out there. You've just got to take good sets and be ready for everything."It will be just Smith's sixth career start, and likely, against the NFL's active sack leader. As a rookie last year, Smith started Washington's final three games at left tackle. He was claimed off waivers by the Raiders on Sept. 1."Any time you have a bye week you just go back to the basics and working on the fundamentals," Smith said. "Whatever it is, whether it's coming off the ball or hat placement, hand placement and all those things, and just going over the plays over and over so you can know everything you need to know about the plays. Just working on the fundamentals, trying to get a good foundation to keep moving forward."I feel comfortable. I've been going over the plays, and every week you get a little bit more comfortable. I feel good with the system."

Trade ministries, just as other parts of government, need to respond to calls from the public and from global leaders for action on major issues. This column argues that armed with potential policy options identified through the E15Initiative, the WTO is equipped to contribute to solutions in many areas. Purposeful efforts over the coming months and years could help to boost the WTO's essential and valuable place in ensuring a responsive and inclusive furtherance of globalisation and trade and investment integration that delivers sustainable development outcomes for all.
International trade
New EU trade agreements could adversely affect Turkey as a non-EU member. This column presents new findings of an economic analysis in which different trade policy scenarios are considered. The results point to a clear policy recommendation – Turkey and the EU should mutually deepen their customs union by including the agriculture and service sectors as soon as possible.
Econophysics is an emerging field applying theories and methods from physics to economic problems and data. This column explores the collective motions of trade and the effects of trade liberalisation, using global data from the past two decades. Econophysics methods reveal how business cycles synchronise, and how economic risk propagates throughout the global economic network. The results also highlight inherent problems of structural controllability that are induced during economic crises.
For the past 18 months, officials have worried about a global trade slowdown. This column summarises the latest Global Trade Alert report, which shows that, in fact, global trade is not growing slower – it is not growing at all. The plateau in global trade coincided with a spike in protectionism.
Economic sanctions serve as a foreign policy tool, but they can also hurt domestic firms doing business in the target country. This column looks at the effects of sanctions imposed by 37 countries on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine. The estimated loss of exports to Russia totalled $3.2 billion per month between December 2013 and June 2015. This loss was mostly incurred by European economies and in products not targeted by retaliations. French firm-level data points to a deterioration of trade finance services as the dominant mechanism.

The new Group Policy management snap-in (GPMC) provides tools for preventing and resolving Group Policy–based software installation issues. Also, Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Standard Edition includes command-line RSoP tools that you can use to prevent and troubleshoot problems that might occur when you deploy Group Policy–based software (process indicated in Figure 8.10). GPMC and RSoP help you to do the following:
Assess how Group Policy affects software deployment, updates, and removal.
Identify and diagnose Group Policy setting failures.
Prevent conflicts among applications that share components.
Protect computers from unknown or infected code.
GPMC also provides printable HTML reports for modeling your Group Policy design before deployment, and for logging its results after deployment.
Figure 8.10 Using GPMC to Troubleshoot Your Application Deployment
To prevent problems, use the Group Policy Modeling feature of GPMC to determine how software deployment, update, and removal configurations affect a target group of users and computers before you deploy, update, or remove software. To troubleshoot post-deployment problems, use the Group Policy Results feature of GPMC to see what Group Policy settings are actually in effect for a user or computer.
For more information about using GPMC to prevent and resolve Group Policy deployment issues, see "Designing a Group Policy Infrastructure" in this book. For complete step-by-step information about using GPMC, see GPMC online Help.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - An effort to remove the 4 percent state
sales tax from groceries has failed in the Alabama House for the
third time in nine days, and the second time in less than 24 hours.
The Alabama House voted 55-to-44 for the proposed constitutional
amendment to remove the sales tax from groceries. But that was five
votes short of the three-fifths tally needed to bring the measure
up for debate.
Democratic leaders in the House say they will continue to put
the bill on the House work agenda to highlight the importance of
the issue. The bill was opposed by Republican lawmakers because it
would also raise income taxes on some.

Compelling 'Education of Sonny Carson':The Cast
"The Education of Sonny Carson," which opened yesterday at the Penthouse and 86th Street East theaters, is a bowling brute of a film. Ridded with flaws, inexpressive as art, it shakes off its shortcomings with a primal energy that imbues it with terrifying eloquence.
Based on the autobiographical account of the early years of Robert C. (Sonny) Carson, a black activist now under indictment for murder, filmed on location in the black slums of Brooklyn with a cast recruited in part from the streets, it is a work easy to fault.
Episodic to the verge of incoherence, directed by Michael Campus with an eclecticism that bespeaks craftsmanship but not control, saddled with interludes of song that disrupt pacing and fail as explication, burdened with uneven portrayals and a star (Rony Clanton) whose ability to react far surpasses his ability to act, starved and simplistic in its motivations, it would seem a film beyond redemption.
Certainly it fails as biography. To the very end, Sonny Carson—who goes from prize-winning school-boy essayist (Tommy Hicks portrays the young Sonny), to juvenile burglar, to war lord of a street gang, to holdup; man, to prisoner and out again—remains an enigma.
Yet this film possesses very real beauty and power. It is rich with the language of the streets, lyrical in a scene that captures the glowering twilight sky above the desolate landscape of tenements, pulsating in its documentation of the tribal rhythms of the gangs, hideous in its depiction of police and prison brutality, chilling in its revelation of the devastation wreaked by heroin.
Some people will find its bloodiest scene beyond endurance.
"The Education of Sonny Carson" is by no means the perfect film. Beyond question it beggars every one of the black exploitation films of a year or two ago. That was one of the goals of Irwin Yablans, its producer.
He wanted a film about the black experience. What he achieved derives its awesome force from what it insists on saying about the American experience.
The Cast
THE EDUCATION OF SONNY CARSON, directed by Michael Campus; screenplay by Fred Hudson and Mr. Campus, based on the book by Sonny Carson; director of photography, Ed Brown; music by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson; film editors, Edward Warschilka and Harry Howard; produced by Irwin Yablans; released by Paramount Pictures. At the Penthouse Theater, Broadway and 47th Street and the 86th Street East Theater, at Third Avenue. Running time: 104 minutes. This film has been classifed R.

You never fail to please!
Amazing. Just amazing. This is probably the most action-packed in the series so far. It doesn't look like this should be put up on a mere website such as Newgrounds, I think this should have its own TV series! I can't wait to see the next chapters!
Really sweet
This, I must say is one of the best in the series so far( I just started watching the series). I can tell you put a lot of work into this, like a couple of months for this one? Also, I think the fight scene was not really fighting. Just a few doges, hit to the stomach, and a giant shove of the truck onto the other dune-buggies. Maybe some small bit of blood, like a nose bleed or something might help a little.
Graphics: Very nicely done. The details, like the moving scencery made it look realistic, like the truck was really moving.
Style: This is a very detailed style of details and characters. They look like something from a real show on T.V!
Sound: I admit it, I chuckled a bit at the screams of the bandits, they just sound so, funny.
Violence: Well, the fight scenes are not as violent, as explained above, but still good.
Interactivity: Play button, pause button, back button. All good here.
Humor: Explained above.
Overall, this is one of the good example of taking time making a movie, character design, story line, script, and plotting. Keep up the good work, I hope an episode can make it into the top 50. Good luck on the next 10 chapters.
it just keeps gettin betta
tyler gibb u r 1 of the best flash artists i have eva seen.I love the graphics in dis series and if evry ep is like this u will make me the happiest man alive keep up the great work
Wow...this is great...the graphics are amazing in this Flash. It actually looks like a real show. Keep up the good work
